For men carried a drugged woman out of a champions league football viewing bar before being rapped and murdered.
CCTV footage shows the gang taking Nong Gift, 21, a cosmetics seller who passed out inside the pub, out of the bar where she had been watching the Champions League final between Real and Liverpool with friends last Saturday in Chanthaburi, Thailand. The woman was taken to a secluded area by the gang of four where they allegedly gang rapped and murdered her.
But the men – including one who is said to have known her – drove her to a secluded orchard where she was ‘repeatedly raped’ before being beaten to death.
The gang – Nattaphong Saenkraud, 24, Patti Boonthal, 23, Panya Chan Somdee, 18, and Surasit Jaechim, 24 – are reported to have confessed their involvement to police.
CCTV shows them – with the help of a female friend of Nong who is said to be the one who thought the group would take her home – carrying her out of the Orbit Pub and putting her into the back of a truck.
“The victim was found dead on the same night.
“Four men have been arrested and confessed to their part in the crime.
“The victim was raped by four people and we believe beaten until she died.
A devastated friend who had been with Nong earlier in the evening said she had left her with the group of men because she thought they were her friends.
Nong had been with three other women while watching the football match but only knew one of them, Airziz Opachat, well, according to local media. They had been on holiday together in the past and socialised regularly, it was reported.
The other girls all left earlier in the evening and Airziz said that Nong “didn’t seem very drunk”. She added: “Nong already knew one of the men. She was friendly with everyone. It was normal for her to be out chatting with people.
Nong’s body was found in the fruit processing area. The four men were arrested later on Sunday, May 27, afternoon after police viewed CCTV and tracked them down.
One of the group, Surasit Jaechim, the man who knew her, claims he only drove her and the other men to the area where she was killed. All men have been held in custody.

Roger, thanks for the question, and I'm sure plenty of our other readers are wondering how much money they spend each year to keep their landscaping watered. Well, the EPA estimates that as much as 1/3 of all the water consumed by U.S. households is used for landscape irrigation. So if your family is consuming 174,000 gallons of water per year, then as much as 58,000 gallons of water could be going towards keeping your grass green and your flowers blooming!
If you want to calculate the utility costs of your landscape water usage, then you will need to install a second water meter at your home which measures only the water which is used for irrigation. In my area, many households meter their irrigation water separately from their household water, because the utility company calculates a monthly sewer bill based on the amount of water which is used inside a home. Obviously, irrigation water does not wind up in the sewer system, so that water usage is metered separately and does not effect the monthly sewer bill.
If you want to lower your monthly water usage, then you should consider installing low-flow drip irrigation lines, which use much less water than surface area sprinklers. Another helpful way to conserve water is to only irrigate your landscaping a few times per week and never when it is raining. Over-watering your grass not only wastes water, but it also forces you to mow your lawn more often! Even during your hot California summers, there should be several ways to reduce your water usage and still keep your landscaping looking healthy and growing strong. Good luck with it!

Isn’t wonderful when your idiosyncracies are validated? And what better a person to do so than Montaigne (1533-92) father of the essay. Just when I was tired of some readers grumbling that I never had an opinion… never defended a thesis… I happened upon Sarah Bakewell’s How to Live: A Life of Montaigne in one question and twenty attempts at an answer.
Bakewell, a writer who catalogues rare books for the National Trust, is well qualified to write of Montaigne, and I love her title. A long title, to be sure, but a title that exemplifies Montaigne’s open-ended approach to questions. Bakewell suggests that it might take 20 attempts to find an answer. In her book she writes: “Although he [Montaigne] returned to his work constantly, he hardly ever seemed to get the urge to cross out – only to keep adding more.” That’s me!
I’m feeling vindicated. I am following in the steps of Montaigne (1533-92) who writing during the Renaissance created a new genre that he called essais. In French, essayer simply means to try. [To try] is to test or taste.
This definition is far removed from the classic, five-paragraph essay taught in college: an essay in which the first paragraph states a thesis and previews the three main points in defense of the thesis. Paragraphs two, three, and four develop the three points in turn. Paragraph five concludes.
I love it! Montaigne and I, partners in crime – our writing “staggering with a natural drunkenness.” I’ve been waiting for someone to defend my lack of thesis and resolution, and now I’ve found him.
Saturday we return to Colorado. Will I be glad to return? Yes. Will I be sad to leave London? Yes. In particular, I will miss the surprise, that awaits at every corner. I will replace the stolen camera on my return to the States, but the two photographs below best exemplify the kind of surprise that I like best. My favorite surprise is not in the theater, the museum, or heritage site; rather, it is in the street.

There’s nothing more American than a classic hot dog with zigzags of mustard and ketchup. But, in a time when diners are becoming more conscious about what they’re putting into their bodies, franks are losing their luster.
In an effort to combat the hot dog stigma, Jones—along with her 25-year-old daughter, Daejonne Bennett—started their health-conscious food pop-up in the spring of 2017. The Sporty Dog uses all-natural, locally sourced products, including beef from Liberty Delight Farms in Reisterstown, to create unique franks topped with everything from strawberries and arugula to pineapple and caramelized onions.
Jones previously worked as a government contractor for more than 20 years. When her contract came to an end in 2017, she decided to make the leap to start the business with her daughter, who had been pursuing a career in the culinary world.
But the duo’s ambition turned out to be well worth it. They began selling their creations at the Greenmount West farmers’ market last season—where The Sporty Dog quickly became an anchor—and have been popping up at various community events around town ever since.
Aside from the “Strawberry Delight” with feta and arugula, menu highlights include the “Pineapple Express” with grilled carrots and B’More Saucy Bayside Pepper sauce, and the “Ravens Dog” topped with a red cabbage curry slaw—an ode to the duo’s passion for sports and the concept’s name.
Another draw for customers has been the vegan dogs, which Jones and Bennett hand-form using white beans, blue potatoes, gluten, and signature spices. They then steam the cylinders and top them with fruits and vegetables from area farms, which diners are able to customize themselves.
Jones is looking forward to expanding the concept by applying to more farmers’ markets, collaborating with local breweries (“Beer and a hot dog is such a no-brainer”), and, hopefully, opening a brick-and-mortar space in 2019. She is also eager to further explore the healthy side of the local food industry, starting with a pop-up at the In Good Health Wellness Expo in Harbor East on Saturday, November 17.

Just another quick update on EAT MY GLOBE as it is going to be a little more quiet over here on DOS HERMANOS as I head off around the world for the next few months.
HP will obviously be keeping his, er, end up and I shall be posting about the restaurants I visit as I travel, but I suspect in the wilds of China or bumping along on the Trans Siberian Express, they may be few and far between.
Once the Japan, Hong Kong, China, Mongolia, Russia, Finland part of the trip is over, I shall be off around the USA, Mexico, Argentina and Brazil, so I suspect there will be more restaurants to write about on that part of the trip.
If anyone is wondering about the cartoon, it is the work ( and copyright) of a hugely talented illustrator called James Burgess and was commissioned by John Murray, the good folk who will publish the EAT MY GLOBE book in 2009.
Have a great time- looking forward to reading all about your gastro-adventures!!

You may have noticed that in general I am very Zen about publishing. It’s a casino, it’s a crap shoot, you can’t care about it, all that matters is writing a good book. I know that’s true, after seventeen years in publishing, I know for an absolute fact that’s true. And yet the week a book comes out, I am still completely insane.
Part of it is that this time it’s been one problem after another. Bob isn’t listed as an author anywhere. ARGH. B&N had the wrong description and rating up. ARGH. Every review journal in the world lost their review copies. ARGH. SMP linked to the wrong short story, bookstores don’t have the book, Amazon isn’t shipping for a week . . .

A great binding can improve the way you ski, and the union between the boot and the binding makes the difference. Ordinary bindings offer boot platforms that are significantly narrower (front and/or rear) than the boot sole, and they often have "sloppy," or unstable boot platforms (such as sliders or "tractor treads") that allow the boot to move in the binding.
KneeBinding is the only consumer binding on the market with hard, flat boot platforms, front AND rear, the exact width of the boot sole. Go figure! In fact, every detail of this union has been carefully engineered to maximize retention, edge grip and leverage, including the placement of the mounting screws, the geometry and placement of the AFDs, and the way the binding latches onto the boot.
KneeBinding release mechanisms are also designed to maximize elasticity. They "give" a little under sudden impact (rather than simply release) and snap right back. This means the binding can actually help you recover from a close call.
KneeBinding even offers a precise toe-height adjustment system that eliminates the "play" found in the toes of ordinary bindings.
The precise engineering of KneeBinding's FlexFloatTM Technology produces a difference you can actually feel on the snow. If you want more power, better leverage, improved edge-grip and better retention - you want KneeBindings.
And still be able to walk back to your car.

Fresh From the Firing Line: Vol 1 by Ademola Usuanlele is an electrifying book of revelations from the front-line of the mission currently being led by the followers of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It is an unusually quiet book. One would expect it to be noisy and loud considering that it is our mini-book of revelations because that is what it is. It is packed from end-to-end with fresh REVELATIONS from the firing line. All the revelations are decoded or explained for the regular Jones out there to get the drift of what Jesus Christ is telling us in this season. The image on the front gives a physical expression like that of snipers in conventional military conflict or combat because for those in the know, they know that until Jesus Christ returns, the devil’s spirit and his agents will continue to present themselves for contentions. Thank God because everytime they come, the Word of God with the help of the Holy Spirit will always present a victorious escape for us.
Make sure you are in love with Jesus Christ when you read this book otherwise only God knows. It is written with pure and genuine AGAPE LOVE. All the materials have been backed up with scriptures in the Holy Bible. Thank you, Trinity. Only you can make us pretty, handsome and beautiful like this. We honour you! We praise you! We adore you! We bless you! We thank you! We give you all the Glory! If you truly believe that you do not need further edification from this book or you are truly blessed, please share the book or the lessons from this book with others. Buy and read a copy today! God bless you.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be given to charities and foundations, such as Ademola Usanlele Charitable foundations wordlwide, Sickle Cell Foundation of Alberta, Canadian Family Advisory Network, Canadian Premature Babies Foundation, Stollery Childern’s Hospital Patient & Family Centred Care Council, WINN and Oliver Centre.

The works he made during this fruitful ten-year period are now on display as part of an exhibition, Le Corbusier by the Sea, at Villa Stenersen in Oslo, Norway – a building designed between 1937 and 1939 by the architect Arne Korsmo. This structure, situated in the bourgeois area of Vinderen, is considered to be one of Norway’s most prominent examples of Functionalist architecture, and while it was originally conceived as a residence for a local businessman and art collector – he wanted a house that would also serve as an exhibition space for his private art collection – it is used now as a gallery. Built-in glass, steel and white concrete, Villa Stenersen is often compared to Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye, which was built over the course of three years from 1928. “Villa Stenersen is also an example of how Korsmo was inspired by Le Corbusier’s ideas about polychromy in architecture,” explains Talette Simonsen, senior curator at the National Museum in Oslo, Norway.
Building on an exhibition concept by Bruno Hubert and Tim Benton, Simonsen put together Le Corbusier by the Sea not only to showcase Le Corbusier’s work from Le Piquey but also to demonstrate Villa Stenersen’s original purpose – as a landscape for displaying and enjoying art. “With this exhibition, we first and foremost want to show Le Corbusier as a visual artist, which is an interesting but lesser-known part of the internationally renowned architect. When we show it in Villa Stenersen we also want to emphasise an important function of the house; displaying art,” explains Simonsen.
During his years in Le Piquey, Le Corbusier visited Bassin d’Arcachon, a bay on the southwest coast of France, every year – and its influence can be felt in his resulting paintings and drawings of organic forms such as shells, cones, driftwood and stones. Le Corbusier by the Sea also pinpoints the ways in which Le Corbusier’s work as an architect changed around the 1930s, having rejected Cubism as something “irrational and too romantic” in his 1918 manifesto Après le cubisme in collaboration with Cubist painter Amédée Ozenfant. “From the 1930s he started using more organic forms in his visual art as well as in his architecture, abandoning the geometric shapes of his early works. In many of his later architectural projects in raw concrete, béton brut, this aspect is even more strongly articulated,” says Simonsen.
Le Corbusier’s choice of motifs began to change in the 1930s too. He started to include human figures in his paintings, as well as little oddities collected for his “Cabinet of Curiosities”. He was fascinated by the forms, rough textures, and irregularities of these natural objects, which he called his “objets à réaction poétique” or “objects of poetic reaction”. His paintings from the 1930s often use a more intense colour palette and, in most cases, the compositional structures are more complex than those from the 1920s.
Le Corbusier was fascinated by the vernacular building techniques he observed in Le Piquey, and his time spent in the southwest of France also made him more attuned to a natural way of living. He wrote enthusiastically about how the fishermen built their cabins as a natural response to their daily routines and the climate. “These houses are palaces!” he wrote. One example of this, presented in the exhibition, is Villa Mandrot in Toulon, finished in 1932. Le Corbusier embedded the house into the landscape, using local materials so that the exterior was in harmony with the surroundings. The neighbouring buildings were some distance away on other low hills, and most were made of local stone. In this house, however, the use of exposed stone was combined with a modern steel frame construction. The confrontation between craftsmanship and industry is a pervasive feature of the villa.
As for the colours: it is a myth that all early Modernist houses were painted white, or off-white. Published photographs in black and white tended to emphasise this feature, often in order to dematerialise the building. Several architects however, including Le Corbusier, worked carefully to determine the colour scheme of his buildings. Polychromy was a very important feature of his architecture; the vivid, and often rather dark colours, in his paintings from the 1930s also appear in his interiors.
Villa Stenersen was built as a functional space in which to exhibit art, while Le Corbusier by the Sea captures the friction within Le Corbusier during this ten-year period. In many ways, Villa Stenersen sets the perfect tone for the resulting a collection of works, deftly crystallising the result of Le Corbusier’s summers in Le Piquey in the walls themselves.
Le Corbusier by the Sea runs until December 16, 2018, at Villa Stenersen, Oslo.

It is filled with additional tan innovations such as anti-age conditioning, Odour Remove™ technology for zero smell, Moisture Locking for 72 hour skin hydration, organic extracts and a perfect fade back to nothing, so no tell-tale tan smell or post application patchiness.
Follow these simple steps to ensure your sunless tanner experience is as easy as applying your favourite body lotion, and as flawless as a natural suntan.
Top Tip: Use an exfoliator with a moisturising base, such as our Super Fine Skin Polish. Oil based exfoliators tend to leave a film on the skin that can block the tan effect!
Shave your legs 12-24 hours prior to tanning, if you wax allow 24 hours before tanning! Do not apply a moisturiser before pHenomenal, the formulation is very hydrating.
Whether you are using a mousse or a lotion apply to the skin using a tanning it. Use long circular movements, starting from the bottom of the limb working up to the top. Use sparingly on knees, elbows, hands and feet. For best results start and finish your tanning in one application without interruption. Your whole body tan will take about 5 minutes and the tan dries on contact, so you can get dressed again immediately.
For the longest lasting tan apply the tan 3 times, leave each application to develop 3-24 hours, rinse off the guide colour (no need to use shower gel) and reapply.
When tanning your face mix two parts of your regular moisturiser with one part pHenomenal. Apply to your face, neck and décolleté blending into your shoulders and chest. To extend your face tan try our brand new Self Tanning Night Moisture Mask for a hydrating, hint-of-a-tint skin finish.
Moisturise twice a day to keep the skin hydrated and boost your pHenomenal colour allowing it to last as long as possible.
Top Tip: Avoid moisturizers with essentials oils as they can remove the colour. Try our Moisture Boost Treatment for best results.

As an undergrad art history student at the University of South Florida, Phillip Townsend met the subject of his thesis, the Afro-Cuban artist María Magdalena Campos-Pons. “I met her during undergrad and followed her work and pitched the idea to her about a show, and she was like, 'Yeah, whenever you are ready let me know,'” Townsend says.
Fast forward a few years to last spring, when Townsend and fellow University of Texas art history doctoral students Jessi DiTillio and Kaila Schedeen decided to create the curatorial group Neon Queen Collective, and they were ready. They reached out as a team to put a show together.
In March 2017, University of Texas at Austin art history graduate students, Jessi DiTillio, Kaila Schedeen, and Philip Townsend, formed the curatorial-focused Neon Queen Collective. Coming from different areas of research and curatorial practice, the collective was a way to formalize their shared goal of producing exhibitions that provide a platform for female-identifying artists of color and their allies. Their first exhibition, Notes on Sugar, profiles the work of Afro-Cuban artist María Magdalena Compos-Pons, whose work has not been exhibited in Texas since the early nineties. The exhibition runs from January 25- May 5, 2018 at the Christian-Green Gallery, part of UT's John L. Warfield Center for African and African American Studies, with an opening reception on February 2 at 5:30pm. Fusebox artistic director Ron Berry and curators Betelhem Makonnen and Anna Gallagher-Ross sat down with the Queens to chat about working and curating collectively.

Since the 1980’s, measures mitigating the impact of transboundary air pollution have been implemented successfully as evidenced in the 1980–2014 record of atmospheric sulphur pollution over the NE-Atlantic, a key region for monitoring background northern-hemisphere pollution levels. The record reveals a 72–79% reduction in annual-average airborne sulphur pollution (SO4 and SO2, respectively) over the 35-year period. The NE-Atlantic, as observed from the Mace Head research station on the Irish coast, can be considered clean for 64% of the time during which sulphate dominates PM1 levels, contributing 42% of the mass, and for the remainder of the time, under polluted conditions, a carbonaceous (organic matter and Black Carbon) aerosol prevails, contributing 60% to 90% of the PM1 mass and exhibiting a trend whereby its contribution increases with increasing pollution levels. The carbonaceous aerosol is known to be diverse in source and nature and requires sophisticated air pollution policies underpinned by sophisticated characterisation and source apportionment capabilities to inform selective emissions-reduction strategies. Inauspiciously, however, this carbonaceous concoction is not measured in regulatory Air Quality networks.
Atmospheric aerosols from natural and anthropogenic sources are responsible for a range of striking visual and aesthetic features of our skylines, including stunning sunsets, morning haze, blue haze over forests, and complex cloud formations. These features arise from their direct interaction with solar radiation and their roles in cloud formation, where they serve as condensation sites for water vapour. As a consequence, aerosols have both direct and indirect (through influencing cloud formation) effects on the global radiation budget1. This is predominantly a cooling effect which acts to mask, at least temporarily, warming by greenhouse gases. However, while atmospheric aerosols are typically invisible, they constitute a critical and ubiquitous component of the air we breathe and can represent a considerable threat to human health, contributing to respiratory and cardiovascular problems, leading to reduced lifespan2,3. This is exemplified by the severe local air pollution events such as the London smog4 events of the 1950’s, leading to the Clean Air Act in 1956. Even the Dublin smog of the 1980s led to significant ‘excess’ mortality rates5, resulting in a ban on smoky coal to reduce air pollution. The occurrence of such severe events has largely been reduced in the developed world, although still not eradicated from megacities such as London or Paris and are relatively common in developing megacities such as Beijing, for example.
In addition to the severe smog events, there is increased recognition of the health impacts attributable to exposure to even moderate levels of air pollution. The 2015 EEA report6 on Air Quality in Europe reported that 10–14% of the population in Europe was exposed to air pollution concentrations above the EU reference levels for PM2.5 and when exposure to the stricter World Health Organisation (WHO) Air Quality Guidelines (AQG) was considered, 91–93% of the population were exposed. The WHO concluded that PM2.5 concentrations in 2012 were responsible for about 432,000 premature deaths originating from long-term exposure in Europe6. These are associated with photochemically-produced smog7 comprising hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and ozone and their chemical reaction by-products, including aerosols or PM.
These harmful particulates are classified in terms of the amount of particulate matter smaller than a certain aerodynamic size (50% transmission efficiency): PM10 being all the particulate matter mass with aerodynamic diameters smaller than 10 μm. Ambient air quality standards for particulate matter were initially based on measurements of inhalable mass at sizes less than 10 μm8, where this size threshold was chosen to limit availability of particles small enough to penetrate beyond the upper airways in the respiratory system9. Subsequently, epidemiological studies demonstrated that specifically, fine particle (PM2.5) exposure, rather than course particle (PM2.5–10), was responsible for the observed association with increased daily mortality rates2,3 and suggested specific links to combustion related particles. Subsequent work suggested that even smaller, ultrafine, particles with diameters less than 100 nm, could be more important in terms of mortality10 and health impacts11. These studies, along with a more recent study of magnetite pollution nanoparticles in the human brain12, suggested that not only is the mass of ultrafine particle important, but also the source, chemical composition, and number concentration. These studies point to submicron combustion derived particles along with secondary particulate formation as being central to adverse health impacts. However, regulatory metrics are largely based on mass measurement of PM10 and PM2.5 which can readily be dominated by the contribution of super-micron particles.
In the 1970s, the environmental impacts of air pollution, particularly in the form of acid rain, became a major environmental concern across Europe13. This was initially focused on the detrimental regional impacts of sulphur emissions from power generation. Since its establishment in 1979, the UNECE Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) has aimed to address the impacts of a range of air pollutants on human-health, fresh water, forests and other sensitive ecosystems. The 51 Parties to the Convention have established shared systems for pollutant emissions inventories, as well as a range of modelling and analysis programmes; both Canada and the United States have ratified the Convention. In Europe, pollutant monitoring for the Convention is carried out under the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP). Policy actions under CLTRAP aim to reduce emissions of key air pollutants including SOx, nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and ammonia (NH3). At the EU level, reduction targets agreed under the Convention have been set on a legislative basis under the National Emissions Ceiling Directive http://ec.europa.eu/environment/air/pollutants/ceilings.htm. This is a central element of the Clean Air for Europe (CAFE) programme which was launched in 2001. It identified PM and Ozone as key challenges in terms of reducing pollution levels. Revised CAFE legislative proposals tabled in 2013 are under consideration by the European Parliament and Council. Both CLRTAP and CAFE are developing actions to assess inter-continental and hemispheric aspects of air pollution.
Observations in ‘background’ locations are essential to quantify the extent, influences and impacts of pollutants at regional, hemispheric and global scales as well as in assessing the effectiveness of policy measures. The WMO Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) programme comprises a global-scale network of such observing stations that are typically more remote than EMEP stations and having a focus on observing essential climate variables14. The NE Atlantic is impacted by emissions from Europe and North America and GAW/EMEP stations (Valentia Observatory for the full period since 1980 up to 2014 and Mace Head from 2001 to 2014) is shown in Fig. 1. Here, we present S mass concentrations from both non-sea-salt sulphate aerosol (nssSO4) mass in the PM10 category and from gaseous SO2 mass (see Supplementary Information for measurement methods). NssSO4 and SO2 masses are thrice and twice that of S, respectively.
Figure 1: Sulphur air pollution trends.
(Left) SO2 pollution levels in terms of μg S m−3 measured at Valentia Observatory over the period of 1980–2014 and European SOx emissions over the period of 1988–2014. Shaded areas represent the confidence bands (95%) of exponential fits. (Middle) SO2 confidence bands, as in left panel, overlaid with nss-SO4 PM10 pollution levels in terms of μg S m−3 measured at Valentia Observatory over the same time period of 1980–2014 and its confidence bands. (Right) nss-SO4 PM10, for 2001–2014, and nss-SO4 PM1, for 2009–2014, (again both in terms of μg S m−3) observed at Mace Head with the 95% confidence bands from Valentia Observatory superimposed.
Two questions motivate this study and are subsequently addressed (1) to what extent have air pollution levels reduced over the NE Atlantic since the 1980s? And (2) how clean is current NE Atlantic air?
To what extent have air pollution levels reduced over the NE Atlantic since the 1980s?
The 35-year SO2 and nss-SO4 PM10 dataset from Valentia Observatory is central to addressing this question. Figure 1 (left panel) displays the annual average time series for SO2 concentrations (for Valentia Observatory), along with the emission inventory for SOx over Europe for the same period. While inter-annual meteorological variability is a prominent feature of the dataset, an overall downward trend in S mass concentration, concomitant with a downward trend in SOx emissions, is evident. An exponential trend curve fitted to the data illustrates than the SO2 concentration fell from 0.95 μg S m−3 to 0.2 μg S m−3, corresponding to a 79% reduction in S over the period. The 95% confidence bands of the fit are encapsulated by the shaded area. The centre panel illustrates the non-sea-salt (nss) sulphate (PM10) measured at Valentia over the same period. It should be noted that up until 2001, the reported sulphate at Valentia Observatory is total sulphate which includes both secondary sulphate that is formed from the gas phase (e.g. through oxidation of SO2) and primary sulphate associated with nascent sea-spay production from bubble bursting and white-capping. The contribution of primary sea-salt sulphate is retrospectively calculated and accounted for in this work from 1980–2001 (see Supplementary Information). The resulting data reveal a reduction of non-sea-salt sulphur from 0.78 μg S m−3 to 0.22 μg S m−3 over the period, corresponding to a 72% reduction in S. The plate on the right of Fig. 1 illustrates the PM10 nss-sulphate from 2001 to 2014 at Mace Head and six years of PM1 nss-sulphate mass, also at Mace Head, from 2009–2014. The 95% confidence bands for the complete nss-sulphate record from Valentia Observatory are also displayed for ease of comparison. The Mace Head data exhibit a decreasing trend in PM mass from 2001 up to 2009. The mass concentration data over the 6-year period from 2009–2014 do not exhibit any clear trend, and are perhaps indicative of relatively stable mass concentration regime. PM1 data for this 6-year period are provided from a unique continuous aerosol mass spectrometry (AMS) measurement dataset comprising analysis of key pollutant species in addition to nss-sulphate (e.g. nitrate, ammonium, anthropogenic organics) as well as other natural species (sea-salt, methane sulphonic acid and biogenic organics). These data are used in a detailed statistical chemical composition analysis presented in the following section for this period. As outlined earlier, while PM1 is not a regulatory metric, it encompasses key pollutants arising from combustion and secondary pollutants that are increasingly being linked to adverse health impacts.
Overall, the 35-year observational record illustrates a reduction of 79% in SO2 levels and a 72% in nss-sulphate levels over this period, which strongly tracks the SOx anthropogenic emissions trend. The data include all air mass sectors and types and, therefore, both natural and anthropogenic nss-S contributions are included in the trend; however, S-isotopic source apportionment studies previously undertaken in the location15,16 found up to 30% natural S contributions in summer months, falling to negligible levels in winter months, leading to an estimated annual contribution of the order of 5–10%.
How clean is current NE Atlantic air?
The current-day chemical composition of PM1 at Mace Head is used to address this question. In fact, as a secondary objective, which relates to the amount of time, if any, that the background location of Mace Head can be regarded as effectively representative of the natural background marine environment is also addressed. These questions are answered through the deployment of a high-resolution, online aerosol mass spectrometric (AMS) which is capable of characterising PM1 chemical composition for effectively all species except for Black Carbon (BC). BC was measured using the Multi-Angle Absorption Photometer (MAAP). Sampling was performed in all-sector air arriving at Mace Head continuously from 2009–2014. We use BC mass concentration (which is an excellent tracer for anthropogenic and combustion pollution17) to classify air hosting different degrees of pollution (see Supplementary Information for measurement technique). For analytical purposes, five classifications of Northern Hemisphere (NH) mid-latitude air pollution levels are defined: NH pristine air having less than 0.015 μg m−3 BC; clean air having BC levels between 0.015 and 0.05 μg m−3; moderately polluted air with BC between 0.05 and 0.3 μg m−3; polluted air as air having BC between 0.3 and 1 μg m−3; and lastly, extremely-polluted air as air with BC greater than 1 μg m−3. See Supplementary Information for further detail on the classification. It should be noted that the NH pristine air classification, based on a measurable amount of BC, is considered to reflect the ubiquitous nature of anthropogenic influences on the atmosphere of the Northern Hemisphere. However, we distinguish pristine air from clean air at the given threshold additionally on the basis that no anthropogenic OM is detectable by the AMS at BC mass concentrations less than 0.015 μg m−3.
The results of this statistical analysis are shown in Fig. 2 which reveals that pristine conditions occur for 32% of the time, while clean conditions occur for 31%. Moderately polluted and polluted air occurred for 25% and 11%, respectively. Extreme pollution occurred for 1.5% of the time. The mean value of BC increases from 0.008 μg m−3 in pristine air to 1.7 μg m−3 in the extreme case. Peak values of 8.6 μg m−3 are encountered for the 99% percentile. In summary, clean, including pristine, air occurred for 63% of the time, the remainder being classified as (all) polluted. Hereafter, when we refer to clean air, this includes pristine, and polluted refers to moderate to extremely polluted and peak concentration refers to the 99% percentile.
(Top) Box and whisker plots of frequency of occurrence of Black Carbon (BC) mass concentration for five categories of air pollution levels classified according to BC levels. Pristine air has BC mass less than 0.015 μg m−3, clean is 0.015–0.05 μg m−3, moderately polluted is 0.05–0.3 μg m−3, polluted is 0.3–1 μg m−3 and extremely polluted is BC > 1 μg m−3. (Middle) Box and whisker plots of frequency of occurrence of speciated chemical mass concentration for five categories of air pollution levels of frequency of occurrence of organic matter, nitrate, sulphate, ammonium, MSA and sea salt, as measured by the Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer with particle sampling over the PM1 size range. (Bottom) Pie charts of chemical speciated mass concentrations for organic matter, sulphate, BC, nitrate, MSA, sea salt and ammonium for marine air masses (pristine and clean categories combined) and continental air masses that include all polluted categories.
The mass concentration of the main chemical species derived from the AMS dataset is also shown in Fig. 2 and tabulated in detail in Table S1. Sulphate (SO4) dominates the chemical mass concentrations in clean air with mean values in the two categories ranging from 0.28 μg m−3 to 0.52 μg m−3. In polluted air, SO4 mean mass ranged from 0.91 μg m−3 to 2.1 μg m−3 over the three categories. Peak SO4 PM1 concentrations were 6.4 μg m−3.
OM mean mass concentrations ranged from 0.1 μg m−3 to 0.24 μg m−3 in clean air, and 1.1 μg m−3 to 9.8 μg m−3 in polluted air. Peak OM concentrations of 79 μg m−3 are encountered for biomass burning conditions. Nitrate mean mass concentrations ranged from 0.01 μg m−3 to 0.03 μg m−3 in clean air and 0.17 μg m−3 to 2.6 μg m−3 in polluted air, with peak values of 12 μg m−3. Ammonium had mean concentration ranges of 0.03 μg m−3 to 0.09 μg m−3 in clean air and 0.28 to 1.4 μg m−3 in polluted air. Peak concentrations were 4.7 μg m−3. In terms of relative contributions, in clean air, sulphate mass dominates PM1 with a 42% contribution, followed by OM with an 18% contribution. In polluted air, OM prevails with a 50% contribution followed by 17% from sulphate and 15% from NO3. Consolidating BC and OM mass into carbonaceous aerosol, this category contributes 60% to polluted PM1, and increasing with overall pollution levels to 90% for the most polluted situations.
There are a number of striking outcomes from this analysis: firstly, background NE Atlantic sulfur based air pollution levels have dropped by 72–75% from the peak values measured in the 1980’s. This shows the success of effective policy implemented through regulation and resultant stimulation of technological advances. As a consequence of this reduction, it is evident that for the polluted air categories, OM mass concentrations now make up 50% or more of the PM1 mass while sulphate and nitrate contribute to the order of 15–17% each. The total OM mass is typically larger than the sum of both nitrate and sulphate mass, the two dominant inorganic pollutant species, and in extremely polluted conditions OM can constitute up to 90% of the PM1 mass.
Secondly, whilst BC is rightly regarded as an important primary aerosol, produced directly by combustion, its contribution to overall PM1 mass is relatively minor (<10%) at these remote locations. This compares to 17% in Dublin for PM1 (unpublished data) and 5–7% in London for PM2.518. Although we don’t have a percentage contribution specifically to PM1 in London, the pattern suggests a reduction in the contribution of BC to PM1 as the aerosol ages during transport away from its source. This is attributed largely to an increase in the contribution of secondary aerosol as the pollution plumes age during which reactive gaseous species are converted to inorganic PM.
In summary, the average total carbonaceous aerosol makes up 20% of the PM1 mass in clean air. It makes up 60% in polluted air. BC and OM levels are well correlated (r2 = 0.99) over the air mass categories defined (Figure S3), suggesting similar sources for both these aerosol constituents. An OM to BC ratio of 5.7 indicates an aged oxidised aerosol. Finally, there is a strong correlation (r2 = 0.99) between NH4 and the sum of SO4 and NO3 levels across all the categories defined. This confirms the well-known role of ammonia in production of secondary inorganic aerosol.
Our results are corroborated by recent, shorter term, measurements across Europe19 where the dominating contribution to PM1 mass by OM is seen in most regions. The highest contributions observed are over Northern Europe, while the highest sulphate contributions are found in Southern Europe with nitrate dominating PM1 in certain localised regions (e.g. the Netherlands and at times, in the Po Valley). In summary, for the greater European region, OM is the dominant contributor to PM1 air pollution, with its contribution increasing as the degree of pollution increases. A similar picture can also be seen globally20.
The declining trends in gaseous and particulate S concentrations clearly show the success of effective policy aimed at reducing this pollutant, leading to decreased acidification of ecosystems across Europe. However, while sulphate has relinquished its position as the dominant air pollutant species it has revealed new and perhaps more complex challenges for policy if clean air goals are to be achieved. It is well known that for a variety of reasons reductions of NOx and primary PM emissions have not been as successful as anticipated. Ground level ozone levels also remain problematic. The analysis presented here adds a new dimension. It highlights the important contribution of organics to PM mass and strongly suggests that policy intervention aimed at reducing regional PM levels needs to address emissions of organic species.
Current policy does address emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that are considered to be linked to ground level ozone production rather than PM. As a consequence, a limited set of VOCs either are included in pollutant emissions inventories or have emissions reductions targets. If the contribution of organic species to ambient PM levels is to be addressed then there is a need to further assess the sources and contributions of these emissions, and those of other potential precursor organic compounds such as fatty acids21 to ambient PM levels. This requires increased understanding of emission sources and their atmospheric evolution which can be achieved through the linked development of emissions inventories and sophisticated observation and monitoring systems which, in combination, can better inform policy interventions and better assess their effectiveness. The new challenge is to address the complex concoction of widely diverse organic compounds, arising from a diverse range of anthropogenic emissions and to inform and implement policies to address these emissions. This challenge is not insignificant; it is well established that atmospheric organic aerosol exists as a complex mixture of thousands of individual organic compounds22,23,24,25,26,27,28.
In this context, if the EU reference air quality standards aim at long term convergence with the WHO AQGs we recommend that a process be established to improve source apportionment knowledge and capabilities through the deployment of advanced next-generation operational measurement systems, such as operational aerosol mass spectrometers in strategic nodes in existing regulatory Air Quality networks while providing local to continental scale analysis. There is a parallel need to ensure that emissions of primary and precursor species are captured in official inventories. In combination, these systems can both inform and measure the effectiveness of appropriate measurable policy responses.

i love this game i think it is so educational. i love our country so anything involving or learning more about it is right up my alley. i think it would be a great fun way for younger kids to learn about the country, attractions or wildlife. this is lots of fun for young and old, and isn’t as competitive as other games. a great way to have fun and entertain guests while learning.
+ great way to learn about your own country, or for overseas travellers to learn more about our country and possibly prepare themselves for a visit. very entertaing, a great gift for a friend from overseas.
Great, great fun to play with as you learn a lot of important things about Australia. All agreed it is a good game, very tricky as some of the questions on the cards try and trick you with pictures that don’t gell with the answers, but you soon learn to watch out for those ones, I liked the way the game really made you think hard and look for clues around the board. Top game, one of the best, bet ter than some of the big name games.
+ The first time I played this game was at school last year, four of us year 12’s played the game it was great fun and at first we thought it was too easy, but then we discovered that with some very clever travel strategies we could make the game as tricky as we liked, we played it all afternoon with other kids and now we know lot’s of stuff about Australia, we will get our dads to buy one and test out our parents, that should be really good because dad thinks he knows everything.
The family play this game every week as it can remind them of all the places we went to while we were in Australia, so many fantastic things we did and places we had so much fun doing things, like walking into waterfalls along trails where we saw wildlife, you would not expect to see close to big cities, these animals pop up in the game and that makes it even more fun. We thought the game was too cheap for the price we paid, only 20 pounds. An unbelievable game, all our friends in England love it.
+ I have just returned to England from a great holiday in Australia, my family visited Cairns and the Gold Coast then Sydney, we went to a Dymocks store in George Street and to our surprise found this game. It is great!!!
Top game, I know 4 other people that will buy this game because it is excellent. Australia has never really had a board game to call it’s own, well this one is unreal, we’ve paid more for games that are nowhere near the quality of this one, so who ever came up with this one has really done a great job, the world will love it!
+ It’s brilliant, at last we have found a really great Aussie game. I saw this game advertised on TV last week and got one at Toyworld. When we opened the box the board was huge and the playing cards were so interesting, the kids were looking at them, then we had a game, then another game, the family had so much fun we are taking it with us in the caravan so we can play it with all our friends at our camp spot.
– So far we can not find anything wrong with it, the kids have already made some new cards they got from the website address on the back of the box.
Buy it, you will be really surprised how much you can learn, this is fun to play with a group as we did, I love the way the game is played as everyone has a chance to win the game.
You can buy the game at TOYWORLD in Cairns, it only cost $49.99 I was so impressed with it, I bought two and sent one to my Mum in England.
If you have never played this game, do it!!!
+ It’s an incredible game.
I played this game in a Cairns Backpackers, everyone had fun with it, congratulations to the inventors, I will spread the word as I Travel Australia.
I had played a few travel type games before but the Travel Australia Game was great because you can download new cards FREE from the companies website,Now that’s a first. The other good thing is playing your game online with a friend back home by email and I thought having the rules books in other languages was innovative. The inventors really thought of everything with this game. Congratulation s!! well done.
+ Sensational!! I bought this game because a friend told me it was a fun game and great if you want to learn about Australia. I liked the honesty in the questions… no silly childish cards about animal parts or past politicians.This game is a world class product, I am so impressed with the quality and presentation I posted two back to Spain. My nieces and nephews will love it as they want to come out to Australia.

Did you know that what you eat impacts the health of your teeth and gums? Learn more from your St. Louis dentists!
It obviously goes without saying that what you eat affects your overall health. Processed foods and foods high in sugar can cause some serious problems down the road. Of course, what you eat can also affect the health of your smile. If you want to stave off decay and gum disease, our St. Louis, MO, dentists, Drs. Jeffrey and Jodi Johnson, offer up a list of foods that are great for your oral health.
You’ve probably heard this since at least elementary school, but milk is meant to build strong bones because of the calcium that it contains. Calcium is not only great for the development of a strong jawbone but also teeth. Having the proper amount of calcium in your diet can protect your smile from decay and prevent bone loss. If milk isn’t really a favorite, you can also find calcium from other dairy products like cheese and yogurt. If you are lactose intolerant, don’t worry. Collard greens, broccoli, kale, edamame and figs are just some of the dairy-free options that can still help you get the calcium you need.
Your diet should also have a generous helping of crisp, crunchy fruits and vegetables, as they offer an array of benefits. Besides the obvious nutrients they offer, apples, celery and carrots can help to remove and dislodge bacteria and plaque from your teeth. Also, just the act of chewing these crunchy foods stimulates salivary production, which also aids in removing bacteria from your teeth to keep your smile healthier and cleaner.
Vitamin C is one of the best vitamins for repairing tissues and wounds, as well as fighting off infection. Not having enough vitamin C in your diet can cause bleeding gums and even leave you more susceptible to developing gum disease. Oranges, red peppers, sweet potatoes and carrots are some of the foods that are high in Vitamin C. Rather than opting for fruit juices, which often contain a lot of added sugar, go with natural fruits and vegetables to get your daily dose of Vitamin C.
We know that it’s a challenge but it’s important to stay away from sugary treats and refined carbs as much as possible. White bread, gummy or hard candies, cakes and pies, and sodas are loaded with sugar, which can increase your chances of decay and gum disease. If you do consume sugar it’s always a good idea to brush your teeth immediately after to reduce the amount of plaque.
Do you have questions about your diet and how it affects your smile? Do you need to schedule your six-month cleaning? If so, then it’s time you called our St. Louis, MO, family dental practice today. What are you waiting for?

The preferred payment method is thought the online use of your Visa and MasterCard credit card. We also accept Purchase Orders, Wire Transfer, Interac Email Money Transfer (Canada), International Money Orders and Certified Cheques.
We accept purchase orders as payment from recognized businesses, upon approval with the Net 30 Days terms. The purchase order must be on an official form and signed, submitted and approved through your accounting department. On the purchase order, please list the name of the product or service you are ordering, Ship To and Bill To addresses as well as e-mail contacts for the purchaser and the end-user of the product. We will process and expedite your order the same day or the day after we receive the PO.
Interac Email Money Transfer (EMT) is a funds transfer service between personal accounts at participating Canadian financial institutions. The provider of this service is CertaPay, a division of Acxsys Corporation. If your bank is in Canada you will be able to send the world's first, interbank-based Interac Email Money Transfer.
Interac Email Money Transfer resembles an e-check in many respects. The money is not actually transferred by e-mail. Only the instructions to retrieve the funds are.
Where to send your Interac EMT?
Wire transfer or credit transfer is a method of transferring money from one person or institution (entity) to another. A wire transfer can be made from one bank account to another bank account or through a transfer of cash at a cash office.
The person wishing to do a transfer (or someone they have appointed and empowered financially to act on their behalf) goes to the bank and gives the bank the order to transfer a certain amount of money. IBAN and BIC code are given as well so the bank knows where the money needs to be sent to.
The sending bank transmits a message, via a secure system (such as SWIFT or Fedwire), to the receiving bank, requesting that the payment be processed according to the instructions given.
Where to send your Wire Transfer?
Contact us for the IBAN and BIC code.
An international money order is a payment order for a predetermined amount of money done internationally. With it, a buyer can easily pay a seller for goods or services if he or she resides in another country. International money orders are often issued by a buyer's bank and bought in the currency that the seller accepts. International money orders are generally considered more secure than sending currency via mail because there are various forms of identification required to cash an international money order, often including a signature and a form of photo identification. Please include your email address with the cheque so we can email your registration credentials.
When a certified cheque is drawn, the bank operating the account verifies there are currently sufficient funds in the drawer's account to honor the cheque. A hole is punched through the MICR numbers so the certified cheque will not be processed as an ordinary cheque when it is deposited, and a bank official signs the cheque face to indicate it is certified. Although the face of the cheque is crowded, the back of the cheque is blank and the cheque can be deposited and routed through the banking system like an ordinary cheque. Please include your email address with the cheque so we can email your registration credentials.

Destination weddings to countries like Bermuda are loved by many brides, but planning one with limited knowledge of the island’s resources can be difficult. The hardest part is going to be preparing a wedding from miles away, but with the help of an event planner, lots of research and a couple visits to your location, everything should turn out just as you imagine. Here’s a helpful outline of how to begin and end your planning without skipping any important steps.
1. Plan in Advance: It’s going to be important to know a tentative head count of guests in advance, so that you chose a venue to fit the perfect amount of people. This means that your save the date will have to go out earlier than normal as well. It’s extremely important to look at different location’s legal guidelines in terms of travel and marriage because they vary from place to place.
2. Pick a Destination: Take a close look at your budget and make sure that when you pick a location everything falls within the lines. It should also be somewhat practical in terms of travel because the harder it is to get to, the fewer guests will make the trek. Check flight times, prices and frequency to ensure your guests will be able to get there on time and without too many connections.
3. Combine Honeymoon: Many couples take the opportunity of a destination wedding to make it into their honeymoon also, especially if it’s the destination of your dreams. This not only saves a lot of money, but also reduces travel and energy.
4. Check Weather & Local Calendar: Like Bermuda, there are many destinations with finicky weather outside of the summer months, which many people are unaware of prior to their travels. Check the weather for the month you’re planning on to make sure it’s in line with what you predicted. Finally, check the local calendar to make sure you’re not planning your wedding over a holiday weekend or local festival.
5. Professional Help: It is going to be vital that you hire a local wedding planner to assist you because they will know the ins and outs of your destination. Other things they can help you with are language barriers, selecting the best vendors and event logistics.
Planning a destination wedding will be stressful, so remember to stay calm and keep the end goal in mind: a happy, beautiful wedding with the person you love. The small details will seem less important when it’s all over.

What was the most popular architecture or design exhibition in 2013? If you guessed MoMA's Le Corbusier spectacular or SFMOMA's landmark Lebbeus Woods: Architect (coming to New York's Drawing Center April 15) you're close but off the mark. In fact the most popular architecture exhibition in the world, according to The Art Newspaper's 2013 Visitors Figures was MoMA's Henri Labrouste exhibition that drew 438,680 viewers (4,100 a day) compared to the Le Corbusier show that had 405,000 visitors (4,010 a day). In fact, MoMA had the top three architecture exhibitions in the world last year with their 9+1 Ways of Being Political the third most attended exhibition with 2,594 visitors a day during its eight-month run on 53rd Street. Lebbeus Woods: Architect was the fourth-most-attended architecture exhibition with 210,122 (2,287 a day). With both Le Corbusier and Henri Labrouste in the top fifty exhibitions of any kind worldwide, clearly MoMA curator Barry Bergdoll has done something right in his time at the museum.
If you still think green building is a primarily coastal pursuit, you would be wrong. According to the USGBC, Illinois ranks third in square footage of certified green building per capita in 2011 (2.69 square feet a person) behind the District of Columbia (31.50!) and the state of Colorado (2.74). The leading states are scattered far and wide, with Texas (#8 with 1.99) outranking crunchy California (1.92). New York is even further behind (1.89), just edging out Minnesota's 1.81 square feet per person.

Now that we’ve gotten the scary stuff out of the way, it’s time to focus on some fun stuff related to trees.
First up is a class called Learn From the Arborist: Tree Care for Homeowners. The class will be held April 11 at 6 p.m. at the City Wide Community Center auditorium.
Community Forester Cory Keeffe will lead a discussion on how to properly plant and maintain a tree on your property, as well as where to plant it to get the most benefit out of it for years to come. While this is geared more toward adults, there will be a tree-themed storytime and activity in the Heights Branch Library in the same building during the tree lesson with Keeffe, so you can send the kids to the library to have fun while you learn how to beautify your property.
During the workshop, Keeffe will also go over I-Tree tools, a set of free tools built on science that quantifies the benefits and values of trees around the world, aids in tree and forest management and advocacy, shows potential risk to tree and forest health and more. For those of you who just can’t wait to dive into that kind of stuff, you can check out the website at iTreeTools.org to start getting familiar with it before the educational workshop.
On April 19, the city of Concord, Concord Public Library, Concord General Services and the Concord School District will hold an Earth Day and Arbor Day Celebration at Abbot-Downing School at 9:30 a.m. This is a family-friendly event in which kids can help plant a tree (throwing buckets of dirt into the hole the tree is planted in) and take part in other tree-related fun activities. The trees this year have been donated by Modern Woodmen Fraternal Financial.
And if all that isn’t enough for you, Concord Public Library has a special book in stock called Trees and Shrubs of New Hampshire. Guess what it’s about?
“Trees and Shrubs of New Hampshire was created as a ‘brief and simple description’ of New Hampshire trees and shrubs, prepared for older children so that it may further contribute to their knowledge and enjoyment of outdoor life, and to foster an appreciation of the importance of trees and forests to the welfare of New Hampshire. Yet, this text provides a rather exhaustive list and could help those of any age in identifying and safeguarding the trees of the Granite State.
According to the author, State Forester John H. Foster, “There is the opportunity for much original botanical work to be done in our state.” Accompanying several of his descriptions are drawings from artist Annie Elizabeth Hoyle, who began working for the Forest Service in 1908. The booklet was so popular that the 1931 edition had run out and in 1941 had to be reprinted.
Concord Public Library has both editions available for nature enthusiasts to research in the Concord Room, CPL’s historic archive.

I work as scientific staff at the University of Lübeck.
In addition, I pursue a couple of spare time projects.
At my daytime job I work as scientific staff at the Institute of Telematics at the University of Lübeck. In addition to teaching activities, I work on the institute's research and my doctorate.
You can find more information about my scientific work at my staff page.
As a hobbyist side project, I develop a computer game in my spare time. I write about it at my Game Development Blog.
Previously, I have been investigating web-based Scala development with GoodNight, a platform for interactive and cooperative storytelling. As a player, you interact with text-based worlds, pile up skills and riches, and go on a multitude of adventures.
I very much delight in fantasy, fictitious stories spanning unknown worlds inhabited by interesting characters. This is evident in my interest in books, movies as well as computer and role-playing games.
Recently, I have started writing short stories, and currently try to write longer fiction stories. These mostly focus on science or magic fiction worlds, and characters overcoming their own limitation to find purpose in their life's journey.
You can contact me via Mail at fbuether jasminefields.net . For your social networking, I even made it to facebook and xing.

In Mino-hoard the roles are reversed! You play as the minotaur boss of a dungeon warding off any foolish heroes looking to gain some valor or test their strength. As you defeat each hero, you choose to increase your attack, health, or speed. This way, you have the option to try many different stat builds for your player. As you get stronger, the heroes get stronger too!
Hey! Nice idea there, the concept is cool, the good ol' dungeon where you are the big guy.
Some feedback, you need to explain the player a little bit better what to do in the game. I was lost after the first guy, didn't know i had to walk through doors. Also, the upgrading thing looks a bit small and confusing. And finally, the attack system feels clunky.
I'd say that if you fixed that it could be really cool!

Director Robert Rodriguez has cast Charlie Sheen as the President of the United States in Machete Kills. The hiring of the Anger Management star is the latest in the long-line of curious casting choices that the director has made for the Machete franchise. This new move sees the sitcom star join Lethal Weapon hero Mel Gibson in the film, which started shooting earlier this month.
Machete Kills stars Danny Trejo as the titular Machete, who is hired by the US government to stop a crazed arms dealer, Luther Voz, from launching a weapon into space. Gibson will play Voz in the film, which will also star Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Amber Heard, Sofía Vergara and Demián Bichir.
The casting of Sheen as the US President is an interesting decision, as his father Martin famously played the role in Aaron Sorkin’s hit series The West Wing, as well as playing John F. Kennedy in the 1983 mini-series, Kennedy. It would seem that screen politics runs through Sheen's veins – much like tiger blood.
The eclectic cast for Machete Kills mirrors that of the original Machete from 2010. Trejo shared the screen with the unlikely combination of Oscar-winner Robert De Niro, action man Steven Seagal, troubled actress Lindsay Lohan and '80s legend Don Johnson. The Grindhouse spin-off grossed $44 million at the worldwide box office, and while that may not sound like a massive hit, it had a production budget of just $10.5 million - a number which led to a healthy profit.
While some may accuse Rodriguez of stunt casting, others will be of the opinion that he’s giving tarnished stars another chance to shine. Sheen and Mel Gibson may be tabloid darlings, but they can also pull out a good performance when given the chance to bring their goods to the table. Don Johnson was able to parlay his Machete part into a role in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, while De Niro and Seagal received some good reviews for their performances in the B-movie pastiche.
Charlie Sheen started his career in the '80s starring in a string of successful films including Platoon, Wall Street and Major League. He kicked-off the 1990s with Clint Eastwood’s The Rookie, Navy Seals and Hot Shots!, before his career took a downward turn, which saw him move into the straight-to-video market. He then progressed to television where he replaced Michael J. Fox in Spin City, before taking the lead in the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men. However, his role in that show came to a shuddering halt last year following some well-publicised personal troubles. He appears to have things back on track with his new show Anger Management airing on FX starting June 28th.
Machete Kills was already a must-see movie due to Mel Gibson’s turn as the villain, but it now has the added dimension of having Charlie Sheen playing the most powerful man in the world. Stop for a moment and ponder that thought.
Keep reading Screen Rant for all developments regarding Machete Kills - which should hit theaters some time in 2013.

It’s one of the biggest debates when it comes to wedding photography gear – should you shoot with prime or zoom lenses?
The simple answer is, why not use both!
But in this video, we’ll delve a little deeper to look at the pros and cons of the prime vs zoom lens debate and how to make a decision about which one is right for you and your wedding photography business.
And lastly, what type of weddings do you tend to capture? Are they action-packed multicultural weddings where there’s no downtime or more intimate, laid-back weddings?
Each of these three criteria will help to determine whether prime or zoom lenses are right for you. Depending on your answers to these questions (and what couples are hiring you for), you can determine the importance of having varied focal lengths and different apertures that allow you to capture the style of weddings and photographs that you want.
When it comes to the pros and cons of prime vs zoom lenses, does the ability to have variable focal lengths on a zoom lens (and not needing to constantly change lenses throughout the day) outweigh the sharper colors, low light performance and lighter weight of a prime lens?
I’ll also share with you how using prime lenses helped me to discover my own creative flair, which I later applied to using zoom lenses.
At the end of the day, it’s about finding the balance of things that work for you and there’s nothing wrong with having the best of both worlds.
Personally, I prefer the flexibility of working with zooms for catching the fast-paced weddings I often shoot but also love to have primes on hand to capture those gorgeous details shots and bridal portraits.
Interesting this came up as I switched recently from using zooms to mostly primes. I used to shoot most images on my 24-70 and a 70-200. Recently I've been shooting about 70% on 35mm, 50mm and 85mm.
The change for me was about generating a look that wedding guests can't replicate. Camera phones and budget cameras are so good now its important to differentiate yourself as a pro. One way of doing that is using primes and a very shallow depth of field, another is using off camera flash.
Totally agree though, there are situations where a zoom is invaluable for its flexibility. I always take both to a wedding.
I'm a Wedding photographer and videographer and I've used both primes and zooms… Zoom is better in my opinion. As far as the photoshoot or getting ready, prime is great. But for the reception and ceremony, zoom zoom zoom. Primes can limit you so much in these venues and if you work with a videographer and only use prime, you also ruin their shot and possibly a memory of the couples as well. I never understand why people feel the need to only use one or the other. I have a 35, 50, and 85 prime, and then I use 24-70 and 70-200 for zoom. If you're using quality lenses, then you don't need to worry about the sharpness of zoom vs. prime and the couples will be happier if you are non intrusive during the events and get a properly framed shot from a slight distance.
In an ideal world, I'd use primes for every shot. When I'm in a hurry and I need to shoot a lot of images quickly – zooms. So with 2 shooters, it might be best to have 1 photographer using a zoom, and one using primes. I'd rather have what I need to deliver, than super great shots, but missing stuff that I need to deliver.
You described that very well, awesome! I want to shoot weddings with a 24-120 f4 on one body and a 35 f2 on the other, and switch between a 50 1.8, 100 2.8 E, 180 2.8. I would like to shoot mainly vintage manual primes on two bodies some day. But I need to get my first wedding under my belt first!
Hi Henry, I asked you questions last time and it helped me a lot, my wedding event went so well and clients liked pictures. Could you please suggest me good lenses dx for portrait/group shots. I thought to upgrade to fx but my budget is low so I'll be upgrading my lenses and switch to another dx body. Is it okay pls help!! I'm getting an another event.
Wow ! thank you for the video on topic which I was looking for ! This gave me some clarity.
Does this come down experience? I am new this year, been shooting 10yrs, but decided this is my year, so got first wedding 2 weeks time, 2 more after that, , I have 24-70 and 70-200, I just don’t want to miss a shot, but I also have 35mm and 50mm 1.8. I think once I get less stress about the overall process of the wedding day, and I don’t miss anything , then I can switch to primes which I will I think. Just got to get the 100vr macro or 90mm macro to finish up. The thing for me is 2 bodies, 2 lenses, 24-70 on one 70-200 on other. The 35/50 i can bring with me. There is no pressure in my first 2 weddings, except what I am putting on myself,, guess you been there though. Only issue I see is gear carrying, for me starting out 24-200 range covered is more important, Creativity in my eyes comes with relaxing around your environment, thus giving you time to see and compose differently, which is experience. I am sure your first pictures are totally different to your style now, as style and creativity takes time and experience, ie reason we switch from zoom to primes, I like the 85mm 1.8 and 105 1.4, even 135 1.4 can see me getting these but I will let the weddings pay for them. Could I see a 35/85 on bodies with 105 and macro finishers of course, that however comes with experience. Sorry to waffle on.

Located in the most unnoticeable alley, the rear of 285-287 Coventry Street, South Melbourne – resides the famous home of Patisserie and Boulangerie >> Chez Dré.
The layout of the cafe starts narrow with tables set on the righthand side, as I walked into the deeper end the cafe broadened with many wooden benches and some small tables set up in the dining area. The petit gâteaux display was quite an attraction, with more than a dozen of cake variations to choose from, no visitors could simply ignore the beautiful glow (glaze) on those extravagant delights.
As a hub of French-inspired sweet AND savoury delights, Chez Dré is known for their all-day brunch and iconic petit gâteaux. Coffee – tick, Brunch – tick, Dessert – tick. Why wouldn’t you want to stay there all day? Shame the street parking limit is only 2 hours, perhaps taking the public transport and a short walk can help evaporate the guilty sugar consumption on the day.
To add to the joy, the market of fresh produce is nearby calling for your inner masterchef.

Trump Unapologetically Celebrates Columbus Day In Best Way - Triggered Liberals Lose It!
Trump Unapologetically Celebrates Columbus Day In Best Way – Triggered Liberals Lose It!
Monday is a day for celebration because it is Columbus Day. But in recent years the day has been politicized because of the actions of the man itself. While the former White House administration refused to use Colombus’s name, the current White House administration is honoring the adventurer and explorer for his accomplishments.
Columbus’s daring journey marked the beginning of centuries of transatlantic exploration that transformed the Western Hemisphere. On Columbus Day, we commemorate the achievements of this skilled Italian explorer and recognize his courage, will power, and ambition — all values we cherish as Americans.
“President Trump on Monday commemorated Columbus Day, praising the 15th century explorer for his determination and leaving out any mention of Native Americans in a formal proclamation for a second straight year.
“Columbus’s spirit of determination and adventure has provided inspiration to generations of Americans. On Columbus Day, we honor his remarkable accomplishments as a navigator, and celebrate his voyage into the unknown expanse of the Atlantic Ocean,” Trump said in the proclamation.
Trump also highlighted Christopher Columbus’s citizenship, tying it to the modern-day alliance with Italy.

Neither the presidential proclamation nor the president’s tweet sharing the proclamation included any mention of indigenous peoples or Columbus’s more complicated legacy that led to the deaths of scores of Native Americans and the spread of disease.
Indigenous groups and advocates across the country have in recent years pushed for local, state and federal government officials to recognize the holiday as “Indigenous Peoples Day” to recognize the contributions of Native Americans. Several U.S. states and cities do not recognize Columbus Day as a public holiday. South Dakota has celebrated Native American Day for nearly 30 years.
He was a genocical maniac.
He was a bad navigator who murdered and enslaved people in order to steal their resources. He may be a hero for Trump but he shouldn’t be a hero for Americans.
Columbus Day is when ppl who think immigrants are thieves, rapists & murderers get to celebrate an immigrant who thieved, raped & murdered.
Columbus was an Italian explorer, as well as colonist and navigator who was most well known for his voyages across the Atlantic Ocean at the behest of the Catholic monarchs in Spain. His actions led to the permanent colonization of America by European countries in the Caribbean, South America, and Central America.
Originally born in the Republic of Genoa, he spoke the native Ligurian language. From a young age, he worked at sea and traveled thoroughly to as far as Iceland and what is now known as Ghana. In his later years, he married a Portuguese woman and eventually took a mistress of Spanish heritage.
Despite little formal education, he was well versed in astronomy, history, and geography, something that many say contributed to his work. His goal all along was to create a western sea passage that would lead to the East Indies in an attempt to profit off of the spice trade which was incredibly lucrative at the time.
After many years of work and lobbying in his behalf, the Spanish monarchs (who were also Catholic) agreed to financially sponsor Columbus’s journey to the west. The journey was to be done in the name of the Crown of Castile. In 1492, Columbus left with his three ships and immediately stopped off at the Canary Islands and eventually made landfall in the Americas. A day, which is now known and celebrated as Columbus Day.
Questions regarding the deaths and imprisonment of natives has led indigenous peoples in recent years to ask for the renaming of Columbus Day. However, the issue has become largely polarized. Many have wanted the name and day to be preserved while others have called for a name change to honor the indigenous peoples who were killed during colonization.
Share if you are glad that President Trump said Happy Colombus Day.
Share if you think it is silly to call it National Indigenous Persons Day.
Share if you believe this is a ridiculous argument and that people should stop talking about it.
Share if you agree that people should be worried about real issues and not these manufactured ones.

When is the Right Time to Begin a Freelance Career?
If you search the Internet about freelancing, you’ll come upon a litany of advice about how to make that leap from 9-to-5 employee to freelance guru. But the reality is freelancing is not just about enjoying flexibility or having the autonomy to invest your time and talent in projects of your choice. You’re actually contemplating becoming your own boss.
To some people that’s a pretty scary reality. As a freelancer, you’re suddenly responsible for obtaining health insurance, acquiring clients, a business plan, marketing strategy, taxes, public relations, and so much more. If I’m scaring you, it may be a good thing.
In this economy, the timing is just as important as the execution when it comes to starting your freelance journey. Knowing when the time is right is not something that anyone can teach you, but if you have these basic common-sense criteria down then maybe your time is now.
My personal recommendation, after weathering the dot-com bubble and downturns in IT, bulk up your savings to carry you for at least six months. This may sound too logical for some, while others are probably shaking their heads saying “I know this one already.” But I’m always surprised that many people don’t realize that everyone, even non-freelancers, should have a nest egg. Inevitably, there will be downturns in the economy or in your chosen industry. To remain as risk adverse as possible, stash some cash, or at least half your yearly salary into an account for immediate access in case of an emergency.
This is a sure sign that you can resign from your current position and begin your full-time freelance business. It’s also the right time to create a referral plan which will allow you to market your freelance skills behind the scenes, while your busy meeting deadlines. For other suggestions about marketing your skills on the down low, check out my post Subtle Marketing Methods for Introverts who want to be Freelancers.
If you’re truly a savvy freelancer, you’ll also know how important it is to continue your marketing efforts locally. If you’re looking for other avenues to more clients include the local business community. Join the local chamber of commerce and attend local networking events whenever possible. Get your freelance business name out there and let other businesses know what you can do to help them grow.
By plans, I mean bona fide strategies on how you plan to market yourself, and sell your skills to clients as well as budget your money. Another consideration is health insurance. Even young and healthy people get sick. Recently a good friend of mine, fresh out of graduate school, was taken to the emergency room for an appendectomy. Not only was he straddled with school bills but he’s currently working with the hospital on a payment plan for the surgery. You never know when the unexpected will hit, so just plan and prepare for it.
If you blog, write articles, stay current on trends and have joined communities with other like-minded individuals within your industry, you’ve set the stage for marketing yourself as a credible small business. If you’re comfortable talking about yourself, than you know the best pitch is one that seriously sells you as the CEO of your own freelance business. There is no better way to approach potential clients, who also happen to be business owners, than by becoming one. Learn their lingo; understand the trends in their industry and what keeps them up at night.
Even as a business of one, setting up an LLC or other business entity means you have legitimized yourself as well. At this point you have a business bank account and an advisor to explain tax-deductible business expenses. You have a thorough understanding of billing and invoicing, and how both work within your payment system. You’re also not shy about making calls to clients regarding late payments when it has to be done.
Any of the above points sound familiar? If they do, then you may be closer to freelance freedom than you might think. Taking those side projects, moonlighting or freelance gigs to the next level can be a daunting experience, but with patience, hard work and talent you can give a final wave good-by to the 9-to-5 once and for all.

Snakes and Ladders is an ancient Indian classic, imported to England in 1892 and published in the USA in 1943. It is a game of pure chance and pure frustration, just about as simple as a game can get, and just about as intellectually unrewarding as a game can get as well. Nevertheless, it is played by children all over the world, and with the Green Box components it can serve as a starting point for getting creative and thinking about game design.
The Green Box of Games is a new game system developed by Jørgen Brunborg-Næss. The game was published in 2017 with the help of a Kickstarter campaign.
The idea behind the Green Box is to create a set of generic components that can be use to play a myriad of different games, including timeless classics and original games developed for the Box. Think of it as a deck of cards, only for board games.

Compare cell phone carriers in Clinton, KY to find the best cell phone carrier for your needs using PhoneDog. Compare cell phone carrier coverage maps in your area. Click or tap on the wireless carrier logos to view the coverage map for that carrier. Use our cell phone plan comparison tool to find and compare the wireless carrier plans, pricing, and more. The comparison tool includes major and minor carriers. The minor carriers and MVNOs run on the networks of one of the major carriers.
If you are trying to find the best cell phone coverage option out there, the options can be overwhelming. What should you consider when looking for the best cell phone service and coverage in your area? What kind of plans are out there? Who provides the best coverage in Clinton, KY? Without looking into the diverse catalog of coverage providers, you could end up paying significantly more. For these reasons, it's important to do your research before choosing a cell phone plan and committing to a contract, making sure that the deal you've chosen is the best available. At PhoneDog, we let you quickly compare the different plans and rates in your area, making it easy for you to find the right option for your needs and your wallet.
You want a plan that offers you the most features for the least amount of cash. But most importantly, a plan should offer you quality coverage in the Clinton, KY area. This is vital, as what good is a plan if it doesn’t allow you to actually connect with the outside world? However, most national carriers realize that this is the biggest factor for customers deciding on a plan, so more and more carriers are pushing to offer cell phone coverage in every city across the country. Chances are the carrier you choose will have coverage in your area. Check the coverage map of your carrier to find out before you decide to go with their service.
When looking for a cell phone plan in Clinton, KY, it's important to find a plan that provides the amount of texts, data and minutes you need. Different carriers and plans will provide different limits and amounts when it comes to these factors, so you should research each one carefully to determine which is best for you.
Plans in Clinton, KY typically come in three different types: individual plans, family plans, and plans with no contracts. Each plan comes with different limits and other specifications. The type of plan you choose depends on your specific needs.
Plans in Clinton, KY with no contracts are also known as prepaid plans, pay-as-you-go, or month-to-month plans. These plans are often more flexible with pricing than plans with contracts. Prepaid and pay-as-you-go plans are the most flexible, as you only pay for what you need. Once you've used what you pay for, you reload and start over. One downside to cell phone plans without contracts is that you often have to pay the full price of the phone upfront. Before choosing a plan with no contract, you should weigh the benefits and disadvantages heavily.
To get the best plan for you in Clinton, KY, you should first understand the criteria. Talk refers to the amount of minutes you can talk without incurring a surplus charge for extra minutes. Here, you can often receive unlimited options, which might be useful if you talk on the phone frequently. Text refers to the rate for sending text messages, sometimes including a set amount of text messages that are covered under your plan. If you are in the dating world or have children in their teens or tweens, you will want to invest in a significant text message plan, otherwise you will end up with an unbelievable bill at the end of every month. Data refers to things like internet access on your phone. If you have a smartphone, you will need data for checking your email, listening to music, watching videos, and anything else that you might do without a wireless internet connection nearby.
What about data usage? Data usage is important to many mobile customers today, and most Clinton, KY cell phone carriers charge extra for heavy data usage. An unlimited data plan works well for your modern email, research, fact checking, and googling needs. Some companies hit you with high data charges if you use too much data, so make sure that you carefully consider your data usage.
If you are in the Clinton, KY area, you will find a number of different carriers, each with the ability to cover your local calls. There are individual, family, contract, and no-contract plans available, so choose wisely. In Clinton, KY, you'll find AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, and Sprint. In almost every case, one of these companies will be able to cover your calls. If you go through a smaller company, in most cases one of the larger companies will integrate them into their coverage network.
Verizon makes you choose between individual and family plans, but also requires you to pick between a contract and no contract agreement. Verizon is a very popular carrier in Clinton, KY. When you sign your contract with Verizon, you commit to a prepaid plan, unlimited plan, or shared plan. If you break your contract before it runs out, you will be charged a hefty fine. Both single individuals and families will be placed within the limited or unlimited plan.
If you look at the comparison tool above, you'll find these and a plethora of other providers that offer cell phone service to Clinton, KY.

Ethnic counselors are, first and foremost, counselors—they help clients overcome mental health problems like anxiety or depression, or behavioral problems such as anger. But ethnic counselors specialize in helping people from specific races and cultures, who often face problems it can be difficult for others to understand completely. Also, the way people from different cultures perceive, and speak about, their problems can vary widely. So ethnic counselors can do a lot of good—which is partly why the field is growing fast.
Annual salaries for ethnic counselors will vary depending on your experience, education level, and expertise. In 2012, the average annual salary for mental health counselors—a group including ethnic counselors—working in the U.S. was $43,700 per year.
For more information on what parts of the country have the most opportunity for ethnic counselors, click through to our Best Places to Work tab for information on the number of people employed and the average salary in each state.
Pennsylvania has the highest employment numbers in the nation for mental health counselors (although it’s not clear how many of these are ethnic counselors) with 12,260 professionals working statewide, and earning an annual mean wage of $43,110. California is second in the United States, where 9,910 are participating in the career, and making an annual average salary of $46,970.
Use our interactive map below to find out which areas of the United States are currently experiencing the greatest amount of growth and job availability for graduates looking for a career as an ethnic counselor. The associated information has been gathered from Bureau of Labor statistics, representing data collected in 2012.
Why Become An Ethnic Counselor?
Extremely rapid industry growth. Counseling in general will grow by a projected 29% between 2012 and 2022—much, much faster than the average job.
Be a specialist. You’ll be able to do everything a generalist counselor does, and more.
Get people’s lives back on track. Help people suffering from mental illness or going through tough experiences like divorce, unemployment, or grief.
Work with people who might not otherwise get help. Ethnic counselors are attuned to problems outsiders might not easily understand. Your help might be what someone needs.
Ethnic counselors need all a counselor’s skills—the ability to identify a problem, prepare a plan of treatment, and work sensitively with a client to resolve the problem. In addition, they need a deep understanding of the cultural communities they serve. A working knowledge of these skill sets will help to set you apart from other candidates.
Feel like you’ve got a lot to learn? Get more information about ethnic counseling careers, degrees, and applicable courses from one of the schools below.
Generally, those in this field will have a master’s degree in psychology, social work, counseling, marriage and family therapy, or similar field. Ethnic counselors will also need to show familiarity with the culture they intend to specialize in, either through experience or study. Students with a bachelor’s degree in most disciplines will be eligible to go on to a master’s in one of those disciplines.
Most states will also require ethnic counselors to become licensed prior to being able to practice in the field, which often requires counselors to earn a master’s degree and complete between 2,000 and 4,000 hours of supervised clinical experience. Afterward, ethnic counselors who need to obtain their license must pass a state-recognized exam, as well as maintaining their license through yearly continuing education classes.

It increases the ability of the hidden senses. It gives one courage, strength, and freedom-freedom from fears and attachments.
The water of life will create a civilization far superior to the one existing. Noble character traits will be it’s sign.
This civilization will guide the sciences and the arts-it will guide the spirit, mind, and body for further growth and increased wisdom.

Hi, I would like to find out more about the “Water of Life Papyrus”. As it comes from the book, “The Miracles of Urine Therapy”, do you perhaps know how and where the authors may have discovered it? Do you also perhaps know where the above picture of the papyrus is taken from? I would be grateful for your kind assistance. Thankyou.

Picture #1 is a plaque that I helped my wife make. It was her first real woodworking project. It was made for a friend of her Dad. Picture #2 is the Keystone symbol (I live in Pennsylvania). I made it for my boss as a thank you for some shelving that he let me take from work. Picture #3 is a rustic looking plaque for my father in law. Picture #4 is the keyhole slot that I routed in the back for wall mounting. The first two plaques were made from red oak, and the third was made from a slab of rough cut pine.
Nice look, I’ve made those before, but I like your idea of different shapes, very cool indeed!!
This is so nice for mounting antlers bot also may be used for other projects, such as coat hangers, plaques, etc. Congratulations!

I hope you had THE BEST Thanksgiving with your family!
I have to admit, doing sales and promotions feels weird to me because I’m not a sales person. I don’t have stock product at my house that I sell. What I do as a coach and in my team more of a service. I coach people how to go from mediocrity and feeling like they’re broken after trying all the diets and all the things…to feeling like their BEST self. That’s my goal. That’s my job.
However…today is Black Friday. Which means everyone is in the mood to BUY THINGS. Usually we buy things we don’t really need…things that we forget about in a year or just end up collecting dust. So, this year, I thought I’d remind you about the opportunity you have to invest in your health or give the gift of health this year by joining our team!
Luckily for you, the company I partner with IS doing a Black Friday Sale! And it’s an amazing one! When I work with clients, I first focus on addressing the foundation of their health. You can specialize in certain areas and ailments if the foundation is broken. I do this by addressing nutrition, movement/exercise, and supplementation that addresses 5 major needs in the body. Once we do this for atleast 3 months, I can adjust from there. Some need separate supplementation, others need mindset coaching, it just depends, but first the foundation must be addressed.
I set my clients up with what’s called a Challenge Pack. This includes all the tools necessary to address fundamental needs in our health and 100% of the individuals I work with who implement these tools feel better within a few months, some within a few weeks!
These challenge packs I get through the company I partner with. THESE ARE ON SALE!!!! In fact, it’s the biggest sale I’ve personally ever seen in 2.5 years!
If you still want to get in on our 4-week holiday slim down challenge…you will get some of your tools a few days late, but you can still join us! You have to place your order ASAP though so we can get you set up!
Back to Fitness Challenge!- LAST DAY TO REGISTER!
SALE!!! Black Friday, Support Local Saturday, & Cyber Monday!

This year saw Mr Lock and I celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary! (Where did the time go?) We decided that to celebrate we should take a holiday somewhere with Harry. Thus began our hunt of nightmares to find somewhere to stay that was dog friendly. After many, many, MANY hours of looking for a holiday cottage to rent we discovered it was almost impossible to find somewhere that really was truly dog friendly. More than one place had hidden T&C’s about dogs only being allowed in the lobby or kitchen and no where else, which isn’t what we wanted, or had massive fees per night. It was a stroke of luck when Mr Lock found Joyful Journeys!
Joyful Journeys is a family run VW Camper rental company based in Wokingham, Berkshire. They have a choice of two vans to hire, Coast and Ember; and are dog friendly at no extra cost! I seriously wasn’t expecting this after all the shenanigans with the holiday cottages, but the guys at Joyful Journeys know that dogs make the best adventuring companions! I sent in an email asking about hiring Coast for our dates and to double check they were fine with us bringing Harry. Hayley replied very quickly with the information I needed/needed to provide to Joyful Journey and a confirmation that Coast was available for when we wanted to hire. We sent over our proof of ID/drivers licences, paid for our booking, arranged when we needed to send over the security deposit and all was sorted!
We’d arranged to pick up Coast at 10:00am. Pick up went super smoothly; Hayley showed us around Coast and explained the alarm system, pop up roof, gas/electric and anything else we might need to know. She’d also provided a handy guidebook for Coast in case we needed to check anything. Hayley had also stocked Coast with a large bottle of water, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and milk to get us started! This was really appreciated as it meant we could make a coffee when we arrived on site with out having to go find a shop straight away. Coast was fully stocked with pots, pans, tea towels and cutlery, anything you might need really! The van is also supplied with a full tank of fuel which is massively handy.
Check out these beautifully customised cookies! These are so cute! I just love how detailed Ember and Coast both are on these, and they were really delicious as well.
Even Harry got his very own pack of biscuits, this was seriously so sweet and so unexpected.
Coast is a 2008 Brazilian 1.4l Water Cooled VW Camper with direct drive steering. As most of you know I’ve driven many different vehicles in my driving lifetime (car and motorbike wise anyhoo) and I’ve got to say, Coast has been one of my favourite things to drive, I adore big cars and big bikes. I love how high up you are and how easy he is to drive! I especially love Coast’s custom retro steering wheel.
Coast’s also fully equipped with a great stereo system with bluetooth capability which is very useful for using GPS/playing music.
Harry found riding in Coast easy too, he had enough room to sit/stand and lay down whilst on the move which is pretty important when travelling with dogs.
Coast navigated all the roads down to the Blue Hills campsite in Cornwall easily. Setting up and moving about were simple too. When we were on site we popped up the roof to give us a bit more height – At 5’8 I am just a little too tall to stand upright with the roof down. When we went out we put it back down again.
Mr Lock found cooking in Coast super easy. This was one of many delicious breakfasts.
Set up at nighttime was very straight forward as well, Coast came with his very own set of van eyes for extra privacy at night.(Seriously, how cute are these?!) They were very easy to put on and take off and folded away neatly into their own little bag. The bed was also very simple to set up and still left Harry plenty of room on the floor to sleep.
Mornings were just as straight forward as evenings, pop the sheet off the mattress and pull the bed back up to get the seat back in place. I love how everything is so straight forward and easy to do. There’s really quite a lot of room in these VW vans.
Harry loved his first holiday! I think he was a bit confused by Coast to start with but by the end he realised this was our home away from home. The above was taken just after we’d returned from a 17km costal walk and Harry was very happy to see Coast!
Driving home with Coast was just as easy as the drive down. We made sure we had enough time to stop back home to empty out our belongings and ensure Coast was nice and tidy for his return to Joyful Journeys. We filled up the tank on the way and dropped him back home, Hayley contacted me later that day to arrange the return of the security deposit.
We had a really great time with Coast and I’d definitely do this again. We loved our camper van adventure and Joyful Journey’s made it very easy and straightforward to book which took a lot of the stress out of sorting our holiday. I’d highly recommend them and would book with them again in future, they’d seriously thought of everything you might need, from First Aid kits, to umbrellas to games.

To provide an information processing apparatus, a server apparatus, a method of an information processing apparatus, a method of a server apparatus, and an apparatus executable program. An information processing apparatus uses signed integrity values unique to software configuration and asserting integrity of initial codes of a networked server. The server apparatus generates keys used for certifying the server apparatus (S810, S820, S830). One of the keys are certified by a third party to generate a digital signature (S840). The digital signature is attached to the integrity values and the signed integrity values are transmitted to the information processing apparatus for allowing the information processing apparatus to have secure services through the network (S850, S860).

The present invention relates to computer network security, and more particularly, the present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, a server apparatus, a method of an information processing apparatus, a method of a server apparatus, an apparatus executable program useful in a networked environment with a means of securely executing programs on remote network environment.
In recent years, security of a network system is strongly requested for protecting secret information, important information or computers itself in the network from non-certified attacks. For this purpose, several attempts are proposed such as Palladium (Trade Mark). In Palladium architecture, platform manufactures would install the so-called Nub in a newly manufactured PC while generating a public key private key pair within a kernel called as the Nub and obtaining maker's certificate for certifying that the PC has a genuine Palladium platform. These processes must be completed during the manufacturing process because the process or the manufacturer is regarded to be the only reliable for making a trusted binding between the Nub and the platform.
The conventional Nub system will have two control points in terms of certification, i.e., certifying the genuine Palladium (Trade Mark) platform and certifying the applications running thereon. The above policy is very similar to some conventional environment provided such as game titles running on some types of platform.
However, in a server technology as well as a networked computer systems, other security policies with further flexibilities are requested, because the server may receive many different types of information processing apparatuses (hereafter referred to simply clients) including computers, PDAs and sometimes cellular phones. The clients as well as servers may be configured to have to talk the Palladium-based platforms or other trusted architecture-based platforms and then the server may include more flexible policy upon providing services with different kind of clients. Therefore, it is required for the server to address the security requirement in more flexible and application independent policy.
The OSGi specifies a framework designed for providing an environment for independent services and offers function for provision, administration and life-cycle managements of such services. Most importantly, the OSGi provides the protection of service bundles against interference from other bundles. Services for user management and for programmatic access control are available as well.
Typically, a platform such as clients and servers contains one single Java Virtual Machine instance, in which one single OSGi Framework instance is executed while executing all of the services. Each service bundle has its own class loader and the class loader is configured to avoid interference of bundle classes. OSGi builds on top of the standard Java 2 security mechanisms.
Mobile clients such as PDAs and cellular phones becomes more and more powerful. One trend is that a number of service providers, such as online banking, e-ticketing, and online games, try to "push" a part of their applications to the client in order to provide more functionality and better user experience. These applications need to be isolated against each other because some application may have sensitive information that needs to be kept confidential from potential competitors. The service provider who wants to run an application on such a client should verify if the client has enough protection against other applications before sending sensitive data and programs to the server.
A grid computing environment is one way to realize "on demand" computing. Grid computing nodes are usually maintained by grid service providers who may have different security policies and different levels of security skills. A grid computing user should be able to verify the versions and configuration of the system software running on the node before submitting a job to the node, so that the user can be comfortable about the level of protection that the node provides. In order to address these issues, the following two problems need to be addressed.
This problem is provided how users can assure that the apparatus is the one that user think it is, and that the apparatuses will behave as users expectation. This problem implies that users need to verify identity and integrity of the apparatuses. If the platform is not the one you think it is, the trust relationship is broken. Likewise, if the platform's integrity is compromised, e.g., through viruses, spywares, Trojan horses, or even emulators running underneath the operating system.
The remote server may run multiple programs for serving different applications. Each application must be isolated and protected from other applications. In some cases, applications may want to share some resources with other applications, thus they have to have controls over which data can be shared with other applications and over which data need to be protected. This requirement is also found in multi-application smart cards for example and is addressed by the Java Card architecture and the Global Platform Architecture .
The present invention has been made partly dependent on an architecture that makes networked platform fundamentally trust worthier by combining novel technologies with security hardware, secure operating system kernel, and open security protocol to provide end-to-end trust relationships. The integrity values, i.e., PCR values, used in the present invention are generated at the bootstrap sequence of platform started from the system power-on-reset and securely protected from outside invasion by hardware security module called TPM. Then the integrity values of the present invention are quite secure; these quite secure integrity values are combined with two level keys including a public and private key so that the quite secure network environment is provided. The key of one of the level is referred to "Endosement Key" which is provided by hardware manufacturer presenting legitimacy of security module; and the key of another level is "Attestation Integrity Key" certificated by a Trusted Third Party based on the Platform Credential. Both keys are stored and used in the security module. The integrity values are signed by Attestation Integrity Key" and securely transferred to the remote entity.
An object of the present invention is to provide a networked environment with a means of securely executing programs on remote platforms. For example, a service provider needs to execute an application on client apparatuses. Or, a grid computing user may want to submit a job to a remote grid computing node. In these cases, it is allowed to maintain confidentiality and integrity of the execution of remote information processing machines.
Further another object of the present invention is to provide a method for providing high security with a computer in a network and to provide a computer executable program for making a computer to execute a method for providing high security with a computer in a network.
When the platform is bootstrapped, the write protected portion of BIOS (called CRTM) "measures" the integrity (SHA1 hash) of the BIOS image and stores the value into the PCRs. The BIOS loads the OS boot loader into memory, concurrently it measures the integrity of the boot loader and stores it into the PCR. Then jump to the OS boot loader. The OS boot loader loads the OS kernel and any related essential files, measures them, and stores the measured values to the PCRs. Then the O S start its boot process. Once a PCR is written, it is impossible to change the value to an arbitrary value, and hence these values will provide an excellent indicator to the integrity of the apparatuses.
Thus following chain of trust is established: the CRTM can be trusted because it was installed at the factory and cannot be replaced. The BIOS image can be trusted, if the PCR values, which indicate the trusted CRTM has updated measuring it, are as expected. The OS boot loader can be trusted, if the PCR register, which the trusted BIOS has updated measuring it, is as expected. The OS kernel and associated files is trusted, if the PCR register which the trusted OS boot loader has updated measuring it, is as expected.
These PCR values can later be inquired (or "quoted") by a remote verifier. This quote message is digitally signed by an Attestation Identity Key (hereafter simply referred to AIK) that is securely stored and executed in the TPM, so the remote verifier can trust the reported values. The verifier matches these values to the known trusted configuration values. If the values match, then the verifier is in fact talking to a genuine Trusted Domain Model platform with a known security policy.
This allows very flexible trust relationships regarding the platform integrity. For example, suppose that security vulnerability was found and corrected in an operating system of a mobile device. A remote verifier who wants to send applications and data to this device only needs to update the database of the trusted PCR values. Or, a more practical solution would be to ask for a trusted third party (validation entity) to maintain such a database. The Service providers may even choose to trust an unpatched platform if the vulnerability is not a serious one considering the value at risk. Different service providers can trust different platform policies; bank applications would require a very restrictive access control policy while network game applications may trust a less strict policy. The service will know the exact policy in effect through an inquiry of the PCR values.
The architecture is abstract because there are a number of ways to implement so-called novel Trusted Domain Model of the present invention which depends on available hardware and software, required level of security, and other novel factors.

The present invention utilizes an architecture provided by TCPA 1.1 is an open industry standard published in January 2001 (now TCPA recognizes the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) as the successor organization to TCPA). TCPA TCG defines an embedded chip (called Trusted Platform Module or TPM) that holds cryptographic keys as well as registers to keep track of software integrity (called Platform Configuration Registers, or PCRs). Trusted Domain Model requires a Trusted Boot and Platform Attestation capability provided by TCPA TCG and Mandatory Access Control policy enforcement by SELinux . In the description below, similar functional parts are associated with the same numerals. When TPM is reviewed briefly, a value of AIK (described hereinafter in detail) proofs that platform integrity and PCR are originated from TPM module rather than verifying the platform integrity. Certification to the value of AIK proofs that the AIK is included in the TPM module. Therefore, depending on particular applications, the values of integrity may be used to issue credential with the AIK after verification of the integrity. In the present invention, particular implementations will be described, but not limited to the described embodiments, the present invention may be implemented in any particular apparatus implementation including comprise AIK, TPM, and CRTM architecture.
FIG. 1 depicts an exemplary embodiment of the network system 10. The network system comprises a server apparatus (hereafter simply referred to as "server") 12 connected to an appropriate network infra 14 such as LAN, WAN, and or Internet. Client apparatus (hereafter simply referred to "client") 16 are also connected to the network infra 14 such that the clients may request services to the server 12 and may receive response thereof from the server 12. Clients may include information processing apparatuses such as for example, a PDA or a notebook type personal computer, and a cellular phone which are connected to the network infra 14 through wireless or IR communications. A storage device 18 is connected to the server 12 so as to provide services on demand under the trusted protocol. In the following description, it is assumed that the server 12 is configured to be Trusted Platform architecture according to the present invention and the client may be any type of architectures known in the art; however, but not limited thereto, the clients may also be configured as Trusted Platform architecture. When the server 12 receives requests from the clients 16, the server 12 creates or destroys another domain corresponding to the clients for servicing applications stored in the server 12.
FIG. 2 shows a typical hardware construction of the client 16 according to the present invention. The client 16 may be connected to the network 14 through wired or wireless connections and generally comprises a communication device 22, a central processing unit (CPU) 24, a memory (ROM or RAM) 26, and a hard disk unit 28.
The quoted PCR values represent the software configuration of the platform at the time of the signing. If there is any question about the PCR values (such as a virus might have been active when the signature was done) by comparing previously stored in elsewhere of the client 16, the signed integration checker 30 is able to examine the PCR values associated with the signature whether there have been known vulnerabilities in the specific platform configuration (BIOS and OS revisions, configuration files, antivirus definition files etc.). If there is not found correspondence between the PCR values stored and the recently received PCR values, the client 16 terminates transaction between the server.
FIG. 3 shows a typical functional construction of the server 12 configured to provide the Trusted Domain Service. The server 12 comprises the root trust part 34. The root trust part 34 further comprises a TPM 36, a register array 38 or storing PCR values of the server upon starting or resetting thereof and CRTM. The TPM 36 and the register array 38 are essential part for generating the integrity report (PCRs) that signed by AIK as described herein below. Upon receiving the attestation requests from the client for services, the root trust part 34 send the PCRs with signature of the AIK to clients so as to provide secure domain accesses.
FIG. 4 shows a schematic structure of the trusted domains created in the server 12. The server 12 is based upon a TCPA TCG system 40 for serving secure domain services with a Mandatory Access Control policy. The domains created in the server space are domains such as the administrative domain, application domains, and a user domain. The administrative domain 42 is accessed with the system administrator 44 so as to administrate the Trusted Domain Services together with the root trust part (not shown). The application domain 1 (46), the application domain 2 (48) and the mobile user domain 50 are created after verifications of credentials transmitted to the clients and allows the clients to enjoy the trusted domain circumstance. Each of the domains is associated with secret data and or the policy stored in an appropriate storage device 52 so as to protect privacy policies of users. The server is controlled by a secure operating system (sometimes called as Trusted Computing Base, or TCB), which enforces the system-wide Mandatory Access Control Policy. Each domain has its own Discretionary Access Control Policy.
Although the TCB needs to be trusted and it should be thoroughly verified, it is not realistic to assume that no vulnerability will ever be found in the TCB. The present invention provides a way to update the TCB if there is any security problem. This means that there must be an administrative entity who can modify the TCB if necessary. This requires the server or clients (if necessary) to have novel mechanism to update the TCB; however this mechanism is may be quite sensitive ones because a compromise on this administrative entity could break all the security assumptions.
To cope with the objectives described above, the present invention introduces a special domain called administration domain 42. The administration domain 42 is the only domain that is allowed to (1) create destroy an application domain on demand from the clients and (2) update the TCB, including updating the mandatory AC policy. Because the administration domain is allowed to modify the mandatory AC policy, it is necessary to prevent that a malicious owner of administration domain bypasses the mandatory AC policy. To prevent this attack, any currently running domain instances should be terminated or suspended with all the execution status being saved to a secondary storage 54 in an encrypted form before the mandatory AC policy is modified. After the modification, the entire platform is reset. After rebooting the server, the PCR contains a new value reflecting the new configuration of the TCB. Each domain owner performs the domain instantiation protocol again to make sure that the new system configuration can be trusted. Only if it is trusted, the domain owner will provide an authorization of using the domain secret.
Note that the administration domain 42 cannot access domain secrets of another domain at any time because (1) when the TCB is not in a trusted state (i.e., no domain instance is running, or the electric power is off), the domain secret is protected by the TCPA chip as described in the next section, and (2) when the TCB is in a trusted state after recovered and a domain instance is running, it is protected by the mandatory policy. It cannot access domain private data of another domain unless explicitly allowed by the domain owner. In this respect, administration domain is different from Unix super-user.
The server according to the present invention may host multiple applications. Each application runs in its protected execution environment, or domain, on the platform. It is assumed here that a domain belongs to its domain owner. A domain owner is a remote client that determines the security policy of the domain. In the case of grid computing, a domain owner would be the user of the grid computing service. In the case of mobile platforms on which multiple applications are running, the domain owner would be a remote service provider (e.g., e-ticket service) who pushes application and data to the client and or mobile platforms or clients.
On the administration function according to the present invention, every non-system program runs in a domain. The domain protects data and execution from other domains on the server or the platform. If a client (domain owner) decides that the domain can share some of its resources with other domains, it can do so by setting appropriate access control policy.
(2) discretionary access control policy that can be controlled by each domain owner or client.
The mandatory policy provides strong protection of critical resources (such as cryptographic keys) even if applications running in the domain have security vulnerabilities. On the other hand, the discretionary policy allows flexible data exchange among applications if so desired.
According to these two levels of access control, a domain has two types of protected data. Domain secret is data that is protected by the TPM's hardware and subject to the mandatory policy. An encryption key that is used for encrypting the domain's data in the hard drive is an example of domain secret. On the other hand, domain private data is subject to discretionary policy and can be shared by other applications if the domain's discretionary policy allows doing so. In the mobile device scenario, the user's address book would be domain private data that is shared by multiple applications.
Depending on the type of the clients, there may be different types of domain. Normal applications that are provided by application service providers run in Application Domains. The administration domain 42 is an essential part for executing administration tasks. All other domains are "owned" by a domain owner. User domains are owned by the device user. All the data and programs, which a user owns, are in the user domain to assure private data.
The administration domain executes creation or destruction of domains upon receiving requests from clients or domain users. FIG. 5 shows the process between the client and the server till a new domain to the client is created. As shown in FIG. 5, the client sends the verify request in the step S500 to the server or the server. The server receives the request and the server sends to the client the result of attestation (TCG Attestation) in the step S510 as signed integrity values.
In the step S520, the client received the signed integrity values determines whether or not the result of the attestation is acceptable depending on the signature and or the PCR values. If the result of the attestation is negative, further transactions are terminated in the step S530. If the result of the attestation is positive, the process proceeds to the step S540 and the client sends to the server the request for domain creation (hereafter referred to c-request for easiness of the description). When the server receives the c-request, the server creates a new domain for the corresponding client while allocating a unique domain id in the step S550 such that the clients sent the c-request dominates the new domain exclusively.
FIG. 6 shows sample data structures used for the verification and allocation of domains to the clients. The data structure shown in FIG. 6 may be stored, for example, in the verification list shown in FIG. 4; however, but not limited thereto, the data structure may be stored in elsewhere of the client 16 in order to manage allocations of domains of the server. When the server receives the request from the client, the server sends to the client the AIK credential as the signature together with the integrity values. The AIK credential may be generated from public keys provided by a certified third party and certified credential values may be stored beforehand in elsewhere of the server, or alternatively, it may be possible to obtain the certified credential values from the remote third party that accumulating certified digital signature, i.e., credentials upon receiving the request from the client.
The table shown in FIG. 6 includes the server ids, the credential values, the PCR values and the domain id are listed in lines. The PCR value is the essential integrity value for the certification of the present invention which is uniquely determined by configurations of the platforms such as the server. The integrity value (PCR) uniquely determined by the configuration may be used as single value or may be used a set of integrity values. Details of creation of the PCR values will be discussed later. The client 16 may enjoy the Trusted Domain Services according to the allocation table shown in FIG. 6.
FIG. 7 shows a process for generating the integrity values (PCR). In FIG. 7, processes in TPM, CPU, and invocations of stored codes are described. When a server is started or reset, PCR registers in TPM are cleared in the step S710. The server invokes CRTM code (BIOS) into another memory area from ROM or a flash memory and executes CRTM code in the step S720 and stores hashed values of CRTM code in any one of PCR registers in the step S740 and invokes the next execution code in the step S730. Prior to invoking of the next code in the step S730, the computed PCR value is stored further another register in the step and S750. PCR values are extended until all of the necessary codes in the setup procedure is completed as described in the steps S760-S790.
The values of the PCR represent the integrity of the codes for initial setup and the written PCR values can not changed other values in the sequence of the server until the server will be powered on after the shutdown or reset. Therefore, the PCR values assure the integrity of the server. When the present invention is applied to the client machine, the same attestation process can be progressed in the client so that securities within the network may become more enhanced. In these embodiment, the implementation of the client will include the TPM module or tip with suitable configuration to the client.
FIG. 8 shows a function of TPM of the server and client (if the client is implemented as is) for enabling the trusted domain access to the client. TPM executes TPM_CreateEndosementKeyPairTPM-makeid and TPM_Quote. The TPM_CreateEndosementKeyPair generates endosement keys based on known techniques which comprise a private key and a public key in the step S810. When the endosement key is generated, a digital signature of the responsible manufacturer is attached to the endosement key in the step S820. The endosement key assures the confidence of TPM. Also an AIK used for providing the digital signature for the integrity values PCR is generated in TPM_makeid operation and AIK comprises also a private key and a public key in the step S830. When the AIK public key is certified by the third party, the AIK is used as the certified credential and also as the digital signature attached to the PCRs in the step S840.
The code TPM_Quote generates the signed integrity values to be sent to the remote client (TCG Attestation) in FIG. 5. The TPM_Quote invokes from the PCRs and attaches a digital signature with the AIK credentials to generate signatured PCRs in the step S860. The code TPM_Quote next send the signed PCRs as the request to remote client through the network infra as shown in FIG. 8 such that the client may execute the PCR check operation.
As described above, the results of integrity measurements are stored in the PCRs inside the TPM and are reported by the quote function. Actually, this usage of the quote function is not limited to the response to the server challenge. One of the ways to use the platform integrity metric is to include the metric in a digital signature. To implement the above functions to the platform, the inventors defined a signature algorithm for XML signing functional part that includes the function to attaching the signature to the PCR values.
in which version is TCPA version as defined in Section 4.5 of TCPA 1.1b. Specifically, its first two octets may be selected be 0x01 and 0x01.
The "fixed" is always the ASCII string "QUOT". The "digestValue" is the result of the composite hash algorithm using the current values of the requested PCR indices. The "externalData" is the SHA-1 hash of the octet stream of the canonicalization of .SignedInfo.
The second part of the signature value is the actual RSASSA-PKCS1-v1.5 signature value on the TCPA_QUOTE_INFO data structure. This part is at least 256 byte long because the length of an attestation key is at least 2048 bits.
In an particular embodiment explained, a verifying application of XML Signature with TCPA PCR Values needs to split the base64-decoded .SingatureValue. into two parts. The first part consists of the first 48 bytes of the octet string and the second part is the rest. The verifying application verifies the following things.
The first part contains a valid TCPA_QUOTE_INFO structure. This means the first two octets of the version field must be 0x01 and 0x01, and the fixed field must be ASCII "QUOT".
The externalData field of the first part is the SHA-1 hash value of the canonicalized .SignedInfo.
The second part may be the RSASSA-PKCS1-v1.5 signature of the first part according to the given public key.
The verifying application can then verify the PCR values (the digestValue field) in the TCPA_QUOTE_INFO structure against known trusted values. If the value is known to be trusted, the server can conclude that it is communicating with a trusted platform. Otherwise, the server may reject the request according to its policy.
In the present invention, the above signature procedure has been implemented as a new signature algorithm (called "SHA1 with RSATcpa") in a Java Crypto Environment (JCE) provider. This way, the application does not need to be modified to use the signature with PCR values.
FIG. 9 shows the creation of a new domain upon receiving the request from the client. When the server receives the request, an appropriate part such as the verify part or the communication part of the server analyze the request to obtain the AIK credential and the signed PCRs. Then the verify part looks-up the verification list or table and determines that the received request should be allowed to access to the server. The server returns a response packet including the result of the look-up. Next the client sends the c-request for creation of a new domain depending on the verification of the step S530 of FIG. 5 to create the exclusive new domain such as the application domain 1 (46) for the client as shown in FIG. 9.
When the client creates a new domain instance on the server, it is important to make sure that the platform is indeed trusted. This trust comes from the Trust Layer, which provides the verifiability of the identity and the integrity of the platform. As shown in FIG. 5, the client first verifies the identity and integrity of the server using the server's PCR values which may be transmitted together with the result of TCG Attestation shown in FIG. 5 before instantiating its domain. Unless the client is satisfied with the versions of the software stack and also the contents of the mandatory policy, the client should not proceed.
This domain instantiation protocol is also a mutual authentication protocol, so that the platform can verify the domain owner's identity. Any trusted platform must not authorize the use of the domain secret before the owner's identity is verified. Once the domain owner is satisfied with the identity and integrity of the platform and the platform is satisfied with the client's identity, the client conducts one of the authorization protocols (either Object Specific Authorization Protocol or Object Independent Authorization Protocol) so that the client can use the domain secret, which usually contains an encryption key (root key). If the domain has persistent data that are stored in a secondary storage, the platform TCB imports the external data that is encrypted using this encryption key.
After finishing the execution of a program in the domain instance, the domain instance is destroyed as described in FIG. 5. Here, all of the memory contents and the temporary files on the system are erased.
FIG. 10 shows the process for instantiating the new domain between the client and server. The process described in FIG. 10 completes the verification protocol between the client and the server in the steps S1010 and S1020. If the verification protocol is successfully passed, next the client send the domain start request (c-request) to the server in TCG OSAP OIAP protocol in the step S1030. The server receives the c-request and instructs to create a new enable domain for the client in the step S1040. Then the instance of the domain is created in the step S1050.
The instantiated domain and the client communicates transaction with respect to jobs submitted and corresponding results in the step S1060. When the client obtains his or hers results objected, the client sends the request for domain exit to the server by TCG OSAP OIAP protocol in the step S1070. The server receives the request for domain exit and instructs the termination of the corresponding domain in the step S1080. The server further sends an acknowledgment of close of the domain to the client to complete the protocol according to the present invention.
When the domain instance is not present, the entire domain private data stored in the persistent storage is encrypted by the domain key. Therefore, nobody can access the domain's private data while a domain instance is not present. When a domain instance is present, the system is a secure state because the domain owner has checked the integrity of the TCB at the time of instantiation. Therefore, the domain owner knows that the domain private data is properly protected by the TCB.
FIG. 11 shows essential data protection of each of the domains. When the platform is shut down or is in an untrusted state, the domain secrets need to be securely protected. This is done by using the TCG's Protected Storage Hierarchy. As shown in FIG. 10, TCG's protected objects are organized as a tree. The root node, called Storage Root Key (SRK), is the only key that is permanently stored in the TPM. Because the TPM is intended to be an inexpensive device and has a limited internal memory, all the other keys are kept outside of the TPM by encrypting their parent key when they are not used. When using a key, all its ancestor keys may be needed if they are not already loaded in the TPM. In the present invention, each domain is assigned a subtree under the SRK. This subtree holds the domain secret of the domain. This means that the domain secret cannot be used unless the subtree's root key is available to load the subtree to the TPM.
Each key is associated with its authorization secret, which is a 160 bit data. The TPM requires a proof of possession of this secret when a key is to be used. In our model, when the domain owner logs in to the platform, the domain owner proves that he she knows the authorization secret of the key. Using TCG's Object Specific Authorization Protocol (OSAP), this can be done without revealing the secret even to the TCB.
FIG. 12 shows the process for protecting the domain secret data according to the present invention. The protection process first executes from the steps S1210 to S1240 the creation of a new domain. Then proceeds to the step S1250 to obtain a root key after completion of the verification process. In the accepted domain, the secret data in encrypted form necessary for the created domain are invoked from an adequate storage area into the domain and provided to proceed the requested job after the description by the root key in the step S1260. The decrypted secret data are, if necessary, encrypted again in a predetermined process and stored in an appropriate storage area administrated by the administration domain in the Step S1270, and then the instance of the domain is destroyed to complete the transactions between the client and server in the step S1280-1290.
Providing domain separation and enforcing access control policies can be realized in many different ways in actual implementations. For example, UNIX access control and Java's JAAS are software-based technologies that provide a certain level of protection. Middleware such as WebSphere provides additional separation at the application level. In many situations, these domain separation models provide adequate level of application protection. However, if the applications need stronger protection, we need a stronger domain separation mechanism. It is well known that the complex software such as COTS (Commercially Off-The-Shelf) operating systems and middleware tend to have many security bugs even after careful examination by experts. There seem to be two approaches to remedy this problem.
One is to employ hardware support combined with very small, thoroughly examined trusted software. For example, latest high-end processors have an additional privilege level that is higher than the ordinary kernel mode. A trusted microkernel or hypervisor running in this mode can provide very secure isolation between domains. Such a hypervisor has minimal code only and therefore contains fewer residual vulnerabilities.
The other approach is to harden the existing operating systems either through a good engineering and certification (such as Common Criteria certification) or by adding additional protection in the operating system kernel (sometime called reference monitor). The Trusted Domain Model architecture allows any of the above approaches depending on the required level of security.
The Trusted Domain architecture of the present invention can be implemented by properly combining existing technologies. In this section we show a design based on PC with TPM chip and Linux Security Module. The overall structure of this implementation is shown in FIG. 12.
IBM's TCPA-enabled system currently supports measured bootstrap in the sense that its un-modifiable part of the BIOS measures the remainder of the BIOS and the BIOS also measures the MBR (Master Boot Record) of the bootstrap device (usually the hard drive). However, no further measurement is done for any commercial operating systems today to our knowledge.
(1) If the boot loader has multiple stages, an executing stage must be able to measure the next stage and extend the PCR value prior to transferring the control to it.
(2) The boot loader should be able to measure the O S image and all security-critical configuration files before transferring the control to the O S. This implies that the boot loader must have at least a partial implementation of the file system on which these files are stored.
For Unix-like operating systems for PC, several boot loaders are available now under the GPL license, such as LILO (Linux LOader), GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) and XOSL (Extended Operating System Loader). In the embodiment explained, GRUB for our prototyping of a trusted boot loader is adopted because it is widely used and it looked feasible to modify it so that the modified boot loader satisfies the above requirements.
FIG. 13 shows the detail of the boot sequence of the GRUB is divided into multiple stages, that is, Stage 1, Stage 1.5, and Stage 2 (FIG. 13(a)). This is due to the restricted size of disk space in the current PC Architecture. Stage 1 code was designed to fit in the MBR space that is 446 bytes long. Stage 1.5 contains the file system implementation, so it is significantly larger (approximately 10 KB) and placed in the sectors right after the MBR which are normally unused space. Since Stage 1.5 can now access the file system, Stage 2 code and the GRUB configuration file can be placed anywhere in the file system.
BIOS loads Stage 1 (MBR) data from the hard drive into memory and jumps to the starting point of Stage 1. Stage 1 loads the first sector of Stage 1.5 and jumps to it. This Stage 1.5 loads the rest of Stage 1.5 sectors into memory and jumps to it. Now Stage 1.5 has filesystem interface and finds and loads Stage 2 into memory, and then jumps to the start address of Stage 2. At this point, GRUB checks the configuration file and displays an O S selection menu to the users. After the user selects an O S, GRUB loads the selected O S image into memory and starts the O S boot process.
FIG. 13 also shows the code for measurement step in GRUB (FIG. 13(b). The chain of measurement must also reflect this bootstrap sequence: The Stage 1 must measure the first sector of the Stage 1.5, and the first block of the Stage 1.5 must measure the rest of the Stage 1.5. Then the Stage 1.5 measure the stage 2, which finally measures the operating system. Because the Stage 1 and the first sector of the Stage 2 have a severe size limitation, inserting integrity measurement codes to these stages was our major challenge.
Stage 1 code, which is loaded from the MBR, has to measure the first sector of the Stage 1.5. This means that we must compute the hash of the loaded sector and call the TPM_Extend function of the TPM. However, the original GRUB code already used up almost all of the 446 bytes allocated for the MBR. Fortunately, a BIOS service could be called that does exactly this. Still, the present invention may be implemented to discard the support of an older drive format (the C.H.S. mode as opposed to the LBA mode).
Basically, each step of a trusted boot must 1) load the next stage data from the hard drive into memory, 2) measure the loaded memory image and extend the PCR value using the measured value, and 3) jump to the entry point of the next stage.
The next stage, the first sector of Stage 1.5, has the same space limitation as Stage 1 and was modified in the almost same way as Stage 1. The remaining part of Stage 1.5 has no such space limitation and it was easier to add the capability of measuring the next stage, Stage 2.
Stage 2 is responsible for measuring several things. First, Stage 2 measures the configuration file of GRUB (grub.conf). This file is used for specifying bootable O S images that will be presented in the selection menu. Second, Stage 2 is required to measure the O S image that is selected to boot. Third, Stage 2 is also responsible for measuring any other security-critical files (configuration files, library files, etc.). To enable these measurements, grub.conf has been modified according to the present invention in the following two ways; (1) all loading commands such as "kernel" measures the target image automatically, and (2) we added the "measure" command that measures any file specified in its argument. During these steps, the eighth register value of PCR was used for measuring Stage 1.5, Stage 2, and the O S files.
In the above implementation, the chain of the measurement process covers OS kernel, security-critical files such as OS configuration files, security policy files, and, a few executables such as Java virtual machine. However, if a large number of files were measured, the number of possible PCR values of trusted configuration would be combinatorial and therefore the server-side database of the trusted PCR values would be unmanageable. Instead, the OS kernel was implemented to be responsible for maintaining the integrity of less security-critical files and resources. Here, the Linux Security Module and the Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) to the kernel were applied. If an appropriate SELinux policy file is used, the combination of LSM and SELinux should provide a better protection against unwanted modifications on any parts of the system, such as executables, libraries, and other data files.
Note that the integrity measurement done at the bootstrap time does not guarantee the integrity of the measured code after bootstrap. If the O S does allow some program to modify the already-measured portion of the system, the PCR values stored in the TPM no longer reflect the correct integrity status. Therefore, a strong protection against illegal modification at the OS level is very important.
In this embodiment, Trusted Domain Model implementation, we chose a security-enhanced operating system for the Protection Layer, that is, a combination of Linux Security Module (LSM) and SELinux. This combination provides a fundamentally stronger access control than the conventional Unix access control. FIG. 14 shows a particular implementation example of the Trust Platform Model structure based on LSM SELinux architecture.
In FIG. 14, Linux Security Module (LSM) is a Linux kernel patch that enables general purpose access control. LSM places a hook at the access path to every important resource of the kernel and allows a plug-in module (called a policy module) to make access control decisions. This is an important step to securing the Linux operating system because the traditional Unix security model is considered insufficient for providing a reasonable level of security. One of the biggest limitations of standard Unix is that every program run by a user inherits all the permissions granted to the user (this is especially problematic if the user is root) and thus it is very hard to protect the operating system from malicious software.
Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) which has developed by NSA, is a policy module for LSM. It enforces the Mandatory Access Control (MAC) policy so that a system-wide security policy can be enforced regardless of the user's careless operations, security vulnerabilities of application programs, or malicious software.
Combining these technologies, we can enforce a system-wide security policy. A domain is realized as a user account, which is well protected from applications running under another user account and even from the root user. A domain instance is a remote shell. When a remote owner logs in to the platform (i.e., creates a domain instance), Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) interacts with the TCPA chip and unlock the encryption key.
Also if the platform has removable storage, an encrypted file system is necessary. All the private files owned by a service would be encrypted by the service's key stored securely in the TPM so that the files can only be accessible from the owner's domain.
In addition to having an operating system-level separation, the implementation also has application separation at the Java level. This can be done by Java's native access control mechanism (JAAS) or by the permission and user administration mechanisms defined in OSGi.
The implementation uses protocols that are defined on top of the OASIS WS-Security standards.
WS-Security is a set of specifications of security protocol building blocks for Web Services. It provides basic security functionality such as integrity, confidentiality, authentication, and authorization for SOAP messages by defining a generic concept of "claims" represented as "security tokens" to be passed around among the communicating parties and trusted third parties (called Security Token Services).
FIG. 15 shows an exemplary embodiment of the present invention configured based on WS-security architecture. Note that a platform integrity measurement is implemented in a claim part 60 are included in each of entities 62, 64, and 66 that can be represented as a security token. The requester 62 such as clients is implemented according to the present invention. The Web service site 64 is also implemented according to the present invention. When the requester 62 requests the Web service to the Web service site 64, the token including signatured credential is sent to the security token service site 66 from, for example, the Web service site 64.
The security token service site 64 issues access permission data to the Web service site 64 and the Web service site 64 determines whether or not the access request from the requester 62 is permitted in Trusted domain service. The platform credentials, such as platform certification and software certification (whether the values contained in this token are trusted), can also be represented as a security token that is issued by a security token service. This provides a sound framework of trust infrastructure of the present invention.

With the requirement being a space for Thai customers who have known Domohorn Wrinkle for the first time to further understand the brand, we opted for a simple and lucid in-store interaction format.
In addition, the familiar conceptual imageries employed in our Japanese and Taiwanese stores are being redeployed here to further strengthen the brand image. However, we also emphasize the overall tone of feminine graciousness by using svelte steel frames and curved motifs, luxurious felt material and soft reflected lighting arrangement which illuminates in a gradient pattern and its effect furthered by the glass layers. We proposed a space based on the theme of “delicacy” and “sophistication”, thus achieving our intended store experience and by extension, the concept image of the Thai store design.

Fundraising throughout Licensing Expo helps swell the coffers of industry charity.
As is now the norm for the Roy Lowe & Sons boys when they attended any trade show, the licensee’s Las Vegas-based exploits included plenty of drinking and a little fundraising for the industry charity, The Light Fund.
In honour of Danilo’s Trevor Jones’ 60th birthday, the usual cajoling, arm twisting and extortion were masqueraded under a thinly veiled veneer of a sweepstake based on his town of birth.
The usual rules of engagement were in operation, $30 a go, with the winner ‘getting the option’ to win $300.
After three days of what they referred to as ‘daylight robbery’, an impressive total of nearly £2,200 was raised to enhance the charity coffers. This was boosted by the generosity of the winner Rob Corney of Bulldog Licensing, who donated the winnings back to the charity.

Most drivers probably don't realize just how much their vehicle relies on tape to perform at the level they expect - and that's a good thing. Automotive manufacturers understand their components and vehicles can sustain damage at any step in the production or shipping process and that they must be proactive. There are a few ways manufacturers might go about protecting their parts, but adhesive tape is the most reliable and provides the greatest degree of flexibility. Above all, manufacturers can't overlook the importance tape plays in quality and customer satisfaction.
Because protective tape isn't used to keep the wheels from falling off, that means it doesn't have to have a firm grip, right? Wrong - at least to some degree. The tape can't be as strong as something used for insulation, or in holding parts together under the stress of high heat, but it also shouldn't easily lift at the edges and must adhere to uneven surfaces. In other words, it should be firm and unyielding, but also easily removed without tarnishing the surface and leaving residue. This also depends on where the tape is applied - carpeting protection requires a different type of tack than wheels, for example.
Sometimes a car will remain in transit for longer periods of time, for example, when traveling across continents on a massive ship. Sometimes components can pass from hand to hand or truck to truck on their way to a factory. During this process, it's important for protective tape to guard against accidental abrasion, tears, scratches and environmental issues like sun damage or bird droppings - otherwise, it wouldn't be worthy of the name "protective." The best of this kind of tape doesn't damage the surface upon which it is applied and can also protect it during shipping and handling.
Protective tape ensures auto parts remain defect-free during transport.
… Literally. Automobile manufacturers and OEMs can choose between a clear protective tape or a white one, each with its own advantages and special uses. For example, many parts manufacturers will opt for clear tape on individual components, especially those that won't be exposed to the outdoors, to make it easier to identify certain details or labels. On the other hand, organizations might also opt for white protective tape, which is a little more durable - particularly for components that might succumb to sun damage. The best white automotive tapes have the ability to block UV rays and protect the surfaces underneath.
The wheels are a crucial component in any vehicle, but not just for the obvious reasons. Wheels contain important mechanisms like the brake pads and rotors - items that must be protected from corrosion, especially during the production and shipping process. Fortunately, there are specifically designed WheelMask tapes that can protect brakes and rotors, keeping them in perfect condition until the final sale.
Like all applications, specific functions require specific types of protective tape within the automotive industry. Be sure to conduct thorough research and work with industrial tape suppliers to find the perfect solution for your needs.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. He who believes in him is not condemned; he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does what is true comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been wrought in God.

If you take back ups regularly (and you always should) then using RAID 0 IMO is really well worth it -- speeds up Disks considerably and you can add as many as you like to array (min 2).
Here's backing up to an external USB 3 HDD around 400 GB of music saved from BBC R3.
Shouldn't take more than around 40 - 60 Mins !!!! -- speed is varies between 60 - 90 MB/s ( 240 - 360 Mb/s) from HDD (RAID 0 -- 2 X 5 TB HDD's) to a self powered USB 3 passport external HDD.
the limiting factor is the speed of the small pocket sized external WD passport drive -- the poor thing is running at about max on this type of connection --especially as a VM on W10 Host. Running internally you can get speeds of up to around 500 - 600 Mb/s even on old SATA 3 gb/s Mobo connection. Nothing like speeding up I/O - especially on older type systems.
Running actually from a NAS server running as a VM on W10 X64 Pro with latest updates -- not the SCU though.
The CPU is only a modest Intel 2.4 GHZ 2 core celeron -- about equiv to an i3 so no massive CPU needed for decent XFER's.
No SSD's involved in this -- with SSD's in RAID 0 I'd imagine the system would fly off the bench !!!! The only concession on the HDD's is that all of them are using Linux XFS native file systems so no NTFS conversions needed via the VM software (Vmware workstation rel 14).
The HDD's seem reliable enough but always worth having backup !!!! especially with RAID 0.
Nearly 60 % done now and only around 25 mins left !!!
Finished 400GB Xfer in 71 Mins !!!!

On my work desktop I run two Samsung 960 250GB SSDs in RAID 0 and really love the performance. It is totally overkill, but could provide some true uses for those moving a lot of data constantly. For testing, I was reaching 1GB per second writes and reads.

Pets! They are cute. They keep us company. And for most people, they are the means by which we come to the crushing realisation that we are mortal and will one day die. In film they are similarly important; we route for them to survive through alien attacks or natural disaster and if they are killed or die it is both incredibly sad and signals to the audience that the person that killed the pet is a garbage monster of global proportions. A Dog’s Purpose is the latest in a long line in films about pets, its purpose, well that is something that I will get to in this review, so let’s crack on, shall we?
Bailey is a dog; he is Ethan’s dog. As he and Ethan grow up together they have triumphs and tragedies until the ultimate tragedy befalls Baley and he passes away. Though maybe he doesn’t as he is reincarnated again and again to work out what his purpose on earth is.
I will say that the canine actors do a good job in the film and I applaud the patience and training that must have gone into each scene with a dog as the main character because we all know that famous adage. The same cannot be said for the human actors who all look like they are there for a paycheck, delivering slightly stilted dialogue painfully blandly. The worst offender is Dennis Quaid as the older Ethan, who is so unmemorable in the movie that I forgot he was in it until I looked it up to write this review.
Despite this, for a time while I was watching A Dog’s Purpose, I found myself enjoying it. It sounds weird, but I found myself smiling at the cute antics of a cute dog in small town America with that warm tint to the frame, and for a while as we followed Bailey and Ethan all was going well. Then Bailey died and then he died again. This isn’t a spoiler, it’s in the trailer; each time Bailey died I did well up, and then I realised, that it was very similar to another film about a dog that famously dies at the end. Then I got thinking about how that film was accused of emotional manipulation; I realised that A Dogs Purpose didn’t just have one dying, it had three, so it had the same emotional manipulation, but tripled. It was after this realisation that A Dogs Purpose’s purpose came clear and the film lost me.
What makes this worse is Josh Gad as the voice of Bailey whose saccharine stupidity almost had me tearing my hair out. His strangely pubescent voice here is the wrong combination of bored and naïve; the small chuckles that this film coaxed from me at the beginning as Bailey misinterprets human situations began to grate after the third or so, and by the contrived end it is physically painful.
A Dogs Purpose is a violently feel good film; it will worm its way into your heart and play merry hell with your heart strings. However, for all its obvious emotional earnestness, A Dogs Purpose feels cynical. It knows what it is doing and why. It’s story is cliché ridden, with plot points you can see coming a mile off, yet is so lazily thrown together you almost get whiplash at how thick and fast these contrivances are thrown at you. Despite this and its faux naiveté and philosophical ponderings, A Dogs Purpose is a surface level average film that will disappear into bargain bins and Channel 5 afternoon film rotations after it leaves theatres sooner than it had hoped.

If you buy one children’s book this year….well first, buy more books. But especially buy Julian Is A Mermaid. I cannot fully express to you in words the beauty of this book. It’s a treasure.
Julian is a young hispanic boy who sees some ‘Mermaids’ on the subway and is immediately enthralled. He tells his Abuela how much he loves mermaids. When they’re back home, his Abuela goes to take a bath, and Julian, Julian is inspired. He puts ferns and flowers in his hair creating a magnificent headdress. He adds some makeup to his face and uses a lace curtain to make a stunning ‘tail’. When Abuela sees, Julian isn’t sure what she’ll think. But Abuela is a treasure too and gives Julian a fabulous necklace and then leads him out of the house.
Julian and Abuela for a walk and what do they find? A parade of Mermaids! Julian is Julian, he’s awed by the mermaids and with his grandmother’s encouragement, he joins them.
By signing up, you’ll receive the latest book club features and relevant gift guides. We will never send you spam or sell your information.
The story is beautiful enough, a tale of beautiful understated acceptance. But that’s not enough for author Jessica Love, because Love is also an amazingly talented illustrator. The illustrations are pure art in a way that isn’t always seen in a children’s book. I would literally hang the pages on my wall, they’re stunning.
Julian is a Mermaid is light on text, it’s the kind of children’s book that you can talk about what is happening in the pages with the child. ‘Look at him swimming with the fish, look at those beautiful outfits, where do you think the people on the sidewalk are going’.
RATING: Every child I know between the ages of 0-7 is being gifted this book, as well as several libraries. Buy one for you and one for a friend. Buy a third and donate it.

Sailing holidays and yacht charter in Marseille. COMPARE!
Beboats, you have the choice to charter a boat from a professional or private boat owner.
The La Pointe Rouge harbor in Marseille is located right at the gateway of the Calanques, making it the perfect place for your boat rental. On one side you have the Calanques, on the other side you have the Frioul archipelago with the legendary Château d'If and the Riou archipelago, reknown for its biodiversity.
With its 1200 berths, the harbor has many cheap motor boats you can rent for the day!
For an unforgettable start of your sailing holidays in the French Riviera, choose your boat rental in the Old Port of Marseille. Coming or going from Marseilles' Roadstead in a boat is simply magical: the view of the Old Port dominated by the 19th century church Notre Dame de la Garde, open to the fortification Fort Saint-Jean and the fascinating museum the MuCEM, is beautiful.
Located in front of the Old Port, the Frioul also has a marina linked by a boat shuttle from and to the Old Port. You will be able to find a wide range of yacht charter there, from luxury yachts to catamaran, to sailboat!
Quieter but with a wide range of catamarans, sailboats and motor boats, L’Estaque is a lovely alternative to the Old Port of Marseille. In a popular neighborhood full of traditions and history, L’Estaque is located 12 km away from the Old Port and has inspired many reknown artists such as Paul Cézanne.
Nested in the North of Marseille, the Corbieres harbor is a dry port meaning it can park boats outside sailing periods but it also has 320 berths, of which 20 welcome passing boats.
Cassis, a traditional fishing village, for a more cozy and picturesque setting.

Sp-cAMPS (Cat. No. A 003) immobilized on agarose by an aminohexyl spacer attached to position 6 of the ligand. Free Sp-cAMPS is only very slowly metabolized by mammalian phosphodiesterases and thus represents an extraordinary stable ligand. In addition, its reduced binding affinity towards protein kinase A compared to cAMP results in milder desorption conditions in affinity chromatography. The gel can be used for affinity chromatography of various cyclic nucleotide-responsive proteins such as protein kinases, phosphodiesterases and others. This type of gel is offered with a shorter spacer (Sp-6-AE-cAMPS-Agarose, Cat. No. A 109) as well. Detailed technical information available.

This back facial is a full, relaxing treatment which improves the appearance of acne, and reduces pore blockage. Used with a microdermabrasion infusion, skin becomes more radiant and clear.
These peels are an excellent treatment for the arms, back, chest, feet, hands, and legs. Body peels can help a younger looking body match an ageless face. This process is excellent for the treatment for body acne, fading brown spots, and elevating the tone of your skin.
Hands lose their elegance as we age; thus, they become an obvious clue to our true age. Sun exposure, loss of volume, prominence of veins, and visible bones can make our hands look older. Dermal filler injections can help! These injection only take a few minutes and the results have proven to create long lasting, youthful hands. Learn more..
No longer be conscious of embarrassing red/pink bumps which often form within hair follicles and can be seen on arms and legs! Just use the Silk Peel Diamond Dermal infusion, which diminishes and levels KP, resulting in silky arms and legs.
This is a simple, relaxing facial for your neck and chest that improves the appearance of acne and removes pore congestion, resulting in healthy glowing skin. This service can be enhanced with infused microdermabrasion.
We tend to ignore our feet because we can cover them up. Therefore, feet create a rapid buildup of dead, flakey skin. Silk Peel Diamond Dermal infusion combines Pro-Infusion Solutions with diamond exfoliation for smooth, even toned feet. After a silk peel you’ll have no hesitation wearing a beautiful pair of strappy sandals or gorgeous designer flip-flops.
Fluxes in rapid weight gain or the byproduct of surgery can result in stretchmarks. These unattractive discolored streaks are highly noticeable on the skin. Diamond tip exfoliation and the infusion of a combination of Pro-Infusion serums will fade stretch marks and easily improve the texture of your skin.
Lymphatic drainage is a very relaxing treatment used to prevent swelling and bruising, to heal acne and wrinkles, to relieve fatigue and sports injuries, and to enhance the immune system. However, there are other benefits as well!

Acreo Swedish ICT engage in the fabrication of a detector able to sense single protons using graphene on silicon carbide. Such a demonstration device can initiate a new application area that has the potential to develop very sensitive new devices for detecting ionizing particle irradiation on living cells.
Thin proton transmission detectors have previously been fabricated using silicon, however the exhibit too high noise in order to enable sensing of single protons.
A new structure of graphene on silicon carbide is expected to realize a single proton detector with low noise. The proton produces a charge, and this will be detected using the graphene conductive layer on the silicon carbide.
Compared to silicon, is silicon carbide highly resistive to beam damage.
The project is funded with a grant from VSF - VERIFIERING FÖR SAMVERKAN, a program financed by VINNOVA through Uppsala University, Lund University, Linköping University and Karolinska Institutet to support joint projects between academia and the private, public or non-profit activities. With VFS, people have the opportunity to go from a collaboration idea to concrete test.
Coordinator: Jan Pallon, Department Nuclear Physics, Lund University.
Based on this project, Graphensic AB, Acreo Swedish ICT AB and other two Swedish industrial partners are planning to apply for funding for a joint project to Vinnova Graphene SIP/SIO call. More info about the SIP Graphene can be found through ElektronikTidningen on 2014-09-15.
Dr. Qin Wang attended a seminar on Graphene organized by The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA), where she met and discussed with Professor Konstantin Novoselov, Nobel Prize laureate in Physics 2010 on unique properties and various potential applications of graphene formed on SiC.

“People will continue to survive as best they can, relying more on their own communities and traditional networks than on [us] … it is not the fault of the displaced persons and refugees, but our system for providing protection and assistance that does not work. They have, after all, had to learn the hard way what it takes to survive.
“The empowerment of internally displaced persons has not received enough attention, despite the crucial role [they] play in meeting their own needs and influencing the course of conflict. In many situations internally displaced persons develop survival and coping strategies. In some, they and host communities develop self-defense units to ensure that people have time to flee.
To this end, studying and disseminating testimonies of those who survive violence can provide important insights into the numerous tried and true survival tactics. Luck may at times play a role in survival stories. But to quote the French scientist Louis Pasteur, “in the field of observation, chance favors only the prepared mind.” In any event, luck can be turned into knowledge, and knowledge into future tactics.
The following short testimonies are taken from the extensive research on civilian protection and humanitarian tactical training carried out by Casey Barrs.
The iRevolution question: what role can ICTs play in empowering local communities to help them get out of harm’s way?
