Tech is a growing industry in the Okanagan

Innovators and developers are flocking to the Okanagan

When it comes to jobs in the tech industry, the Okanagan Valley and Penticton have a lot to offer.

According to a 2016 report from tech incubator Accelerate Okanagan, 7,600 people are employed by the Okanagan technology sector, with an overall economic impact of $1.3 billion.

Innovators and developers are flocking to the Okanagan, and more jobs are being created all the time.

There are hardware developers like XCO, where Scott McMillan and his team are developing a sophisticated system for tracking athlete movement and performance, wirelessly. It’s also got applications in health care and robotics.

“That’s a brand new technology developed here in Penticton,” said Nick Vincent, co-founder of Cowork Penticton. “I see a growth in hardware and actual tech innovation, but also in software development.

“There are a lot more developers, freelance developers, moving here.”

When Vincent moved to Penticton, he continued to manage his business in Australia remotely. He says that for people working remotely or right here at home, Penticton has all the resources you need, including massively high internet bandwidth.

“I think Penticton is an attractive place to make your start,” said Vincent. “I think growth is going to continue. I am pleased to see all the new housing being built around town. That is going to make it a more attractive location for people who are used to a more urban lifestyle. It is going to attract people from cities.”

Keith MacIntyre of Big Bear Software recently hosted a meeting with Chris Heivly of the Techstars global accelerator program, which is developing a community roadmap for the tech startup ecosystem. The Okanagan is one of only five regions around the world selected for the project.

“Compared to five years ago, not only are there more jobs here, but there is more talent,” said MacIntyre, adding that compared to when he came to Penticton seven years ago, there are more opportunities.

“As a whole, Penticton is in a bit of a boom right now,” said MacIntyre. “It’s a combination of a number of factors. Accelerate Okanagan is hitting a maturity point now. We are definitely getting spill off from that. We can access their resources out of Penticton which helps startups and the mentorship.”

MacIntyre said he is seeing an influx of people from larger cities, moving here for the lifestyle.

“And why not? I can be on my bike and be riding through vineyards in five minutes.”

Fallout 4 – Far Harbor Review

May 31, 2016

Far Harbor is simply the only thing really worth experiencing in the Season Pass for Fallout 4. It’s a blunt, but fair statement to make. Automatron and Wasteland Workshop had diminishing returns for the Season Pass. Far Harbor is like Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion’s “The Shivering Isles” or Fallout 3’s “Point Lookout” expansions, in that they offer sprawling landscapes in all new locations where thought and care was taken into crafting these places. Far Harbor is the next great example, exploring an island off the coast of Maine, is a trip full of mystery, secrets, and unexpected diversions that will capture your attention for another dozen hours.

Fallout 4 – Wasteland Workshop Review

Apr 19, 2016

Wasteland Workshop is not a good piece of DLC or an otherwise worthy add-on for Fallout 4. If anything, it should be a free content update rather than something you pay for. Wasteland Workshop is dumb, and not in that cute, affectionate way. It’s a waste of a player’s time, even if you enjoy the settlement building aspects of Fallout 4. It does have redeeming values, but they are not enough for what you’re getting out of this add-on.

Fallout 4 – Automatron Review

Mar 30, 2016

Fallout 4 was Saving Content’s Game of the Year, and the first DLC content for the game, Automatron doesn’t quite deliver on its initial entry, but is a great excuse to return to the Commonwealth. It’s not as exciting or as transformative as I was hoping for, but it was the right length and the right amount of entertaining to play. Automatron does provide some new gameplay benefits that help this otherwise standard story arc become something meaningful.

In today's Strategic Defence & Security Review, the Prime Minister detailed how the government will prepare and respond to a range of national security threats. There will be a £12 billion increase in expenditure, to £178 billion over ten years, with a clear focus on information technologies including the widely trailed news that an extra £1.9 billion is to be spent on cyber-security by 2020 and 1,900 new spies will be recruited.

The Reserve forces are set to grow to 35,000 with the Joint Force 2025 structure including, "two innovative brigades comprising a mix of regulars and specialist capabilities from the Reserves able to contribute to strategic communications, tackle hybrid warfare and deliver better battlefield intelligence".

However the Ministry of Defence's civilian workforce will be reduced by almost 30 percent - to 41,000 - over the next five years and there will be cuts to front-line police officers.

Wednesday's Spending Review will see a 30 percent increase in the counter-terrorism budget with fighting terrorism and ISIS in particular a recurring theme with the PM noting its use of the internet and encryption: “The way ISIS has exploited social media and internet propaganda to recruit fighters and spread hate also poses a new threat. Terrorist groups also use widely available encrypted online communications to plan attacks.

“This and other attempts to evade detection mean that it is now much harder for the police and security agencies to spot, investigate and then successfully disrupt terrorist attack planning. It is also difficult to investigate and disrupt terrorist and criminal threats when they originate from states which have poor governance, or which lack credible and effective police and security organisations operating to our human rights standards.”

James Murphy, techUK associate director for defence & security, welcomed the SDSR saying: “The last SDSR failed to acknowledge the importance of information to our national security. This time, the government has clearly understood that to stay at the cutting edge, secure our national interests and to prepare for operations in the information age, different steps needed to be taken – as demonstrated by the focus on cyber and C4ISR technologies. By working more closely together, sharing information and collaborating, government departments and industry will enhance the UK's ability to protect our citizens and economy.”

Beyond the announced new strikeforces and new hardware, Murphy noted, “Government departments must continue to invest in the underpinning ICT infrastructure, see through the transformations already underway and do so in partnership with industry.”

Terry Scuoler, chief executive of EEF, the manufacturers' organisation described the announcements as a welcome boost for UK defence saying that it redresses some of the capability failings which were ushered in under the 2010 Review, adding that it could particularly benefit SMEs. Gary Smith, GMB's acting Scotland secretary also broadly welcomed the deal, while David Pitchforth, managing director of Boeing Defence UK said: “Boeing welcomes the insight provided to industry by the SDSR.”

Cybercrooks are using new technologies and reinventing forms of social engineering to ensnare consumers and businesses, security experts warn.

Trend Micro's latest "Threat Roundup and Forecast 1H 2008" report found an upswing in web threats, but a steady decrease in adware and spyware generated by outdated methods which can no longer compete with high-level security.

Social engineering tactics such as the Nigerian phishing scam have been around for years, and cybercriminals continue to refresh and modernize this form of trickery based on the latest trends.

For example, the tools and technologies used to create the interactive nature of popular social networking sites have become a landmine for cybercrime.

In March, Trend Micro discovered that more than 400 kits designed to generate phishing sites were targeting top web 2.0 sites, free email service providers, banks and popular e-commerce sites.

Malware variants have generally been treated as separate individual threats. But today, profit-motivated web threats blend various malicious software components into a single web threat business model.

For example, a cybercriminal sends a message (spam) with an embedded link in the email (malicious URL) or contained in an instant message.

The user clicks on the link and is directed to a site where a file (trojan) automatically downloads onto the user's computer.

The trojan then downloads an additional file (spyware) that captures sensitive information, such as bank account numbers (spy-phishing).

Although seemingly one incident, blended threats are much more difficult to combat and much more dangerous for the user, Trend Micro warned.

Meanwhile, the “fast-flux” technique is an additional example of criminals abusing technology developments.

Fast-flux is a domain name server switching mechanism that combines peer-to-peer networking, distributed command and control, web-based load-balancing and proxy redirection to hide phishing delivery sites.

Fast-flux helps phishing sites stay up for longer periods to lure more victims. For example, researchers are challenged to identify malicious Storm domains because developers are using fast-flux techniques to evade detection.

Trend Micro witnessed a dramatic increase in web threat activity during the first half of 2008, with web threats peaking in March at 50 million, from approximately 15 million in December 2007.

On the decline are adware, trackware, keyloggers and freeloaders. In March 2007, Trend Micro found that approximately 45 percent of PCs were infected by adware; by April 2008, only 35 percent were infected.

In May 2007, approximately 20 percent of PCs were infected by "trackware" software, but that number had dropped to less than five percent in April 2008.

Keyloggers also showed a small but steady decline with less than five percent of PCs being infected.

January 2014 will mark ten years since the Jericho Forum announced its concept of 'deperimeterisation', with regards to network IT.

This is a topic that we will revisit as the anniversary approaches, but this week I spoke to Intralinks EMEA CTO Richard Anstey who described the advent of consumer-based cloud storage as a key factor in this move – not only with Dropbox, but also with the introduction of Mega.

Anstey said: “You could say that 4G is making deperimeterisation more real, as why would you bother with connecting to a corporate local area network (LAN)? If you have a device with faster bandwidth, would you ever connect to a corporate LAN, would you even connect to a wireless network? If we can get to it via 3G, then email, Office 365 and SharePoint are all outside the perimeter.”

He said that while the firewall serves a purpose, as it was used to 'protect wires', the next move should be for the firewall to protect data. “The idea was that if it is inside the perimeter, it is safe but if data is outside the perimeter, what is the firewall for? Why protect what is within the perimeter when everything is outside,” he said.

Anstey said that the concept is that deperimeterisation is much more real, as there is pressure for IT to do something and change with the users demand.

Likewise, Fortinet's Darren Turnbull said that as users have become more computer literate through using technology frequently, they figure a way to access services even when the company policy says 'you cannot do that'. Turnbull said: “The user doesn't want to waste time trouble-shooting despite what the business says.

“There is an expectation as well. Now everyone wants to connect but without being told how to do things.

Anstey said that he felt that deperimeterisation really happened when the Apple iPad was launched, as it allowed the user to do things on a device that was far more powerful and portable than anything the business could offer. “Why is the CISO so concerned about protecting wires and not data?” He said.

“The challenge in the perimeter should be data and not wires. Secure the data and focus on content, don't insulate the device, you don't need to go down the expensive route.”

I asked Anstey if he meant that deperimeterisation was the end of the firewall. He said no, but said that the firewall should be closer to the data and inside the data centre, rather than being seen as similar to the physical wall of the business.

He said: “The employee is growing up; IT used to treat them like a toddler by putting them in a playpen and throwing them the toys that they can use. Now they are like the teenagers; finding their own way and discovering things, and they need help.

“Likewise, the CISO needs a safe way to do things and tries to guide people with a mature approach with the right direction, as opposed to pushing them. Deperimeterisation is because of users, and IT is the super nanny.”

Regardless of who is to blame, deperimeterisation has happened for many reasons – devices, users and data – and it has gone past the point of recall and control. Dealing with it is now part of the everyday business, and taking the power back may be yesterday's problem.

Fortinet FortiMail-400B

£2,753 for hardware only

Quick Read

Strengths: Granular, enterprise-based administration. Excellent anti-spam

Reviews from our expert team

Value for Money:
Ease of Use:

Fortinet's FortiMail-400B is a hardware appliance that secures inbound and outbound email messages and is marketed more towards the medium-sized business market. The appliance can be used in transparent mode or as the primary email server within the organisation. The solution is mostly focused on blocking malicious attacks and unsolicited mail through anti-malware and anti-spam mechanisms, but also contains content-based filtering.

Initial setup came with one small hiccup. Although we were pleasantly surprised to see multiple setup options (shell, web, front panel of the device), the documentation did not disclose the actual URL path needed to set up the appliance correctly. Once this was resolved, configuration was easy.

Users who have Fortinet's other product offerings will notice a familiar look and feel to the interface. Many of the screens appear to be based on those in its firewall line of products. The interface and setup of core features is much less user-friendly and takes a longer learning curve than we'd like. Although some of the naming conventions for various options can be a bit cryptic, the appliance has several powerful administrative features that will satisfy the demands of many enterprise environments (high availability, health monitoring, SNMP, syslog, archiving etc).

The anti-spam features are excellent and even include a mobile reputation score based on MSISDN. Other features include anti-malware, IP reputation validation and a web-based remote authentication module for external users to access corporate email. The appliance can scan content for keywords and regular expressions, but those filters have to be configured from scratch, as the appliance does not come with any pre-defined templates.

We found the documentation to be interesting. The file names of the off-line documentation are cryptic, but the content is excellent and thorough.

The product comes with no-cost support for 90 days. After this, one year of 8/5 phone and email support is about £405; 24/7 support for one year is about £810. The Fortinet website has a dedicated customer support section with knowledgebase and FAQs.

A company created to protect the interests of the movie industry has proven it can't protect itself from intrusion.

MediaDefender, which was founded by ARTISTDirect in 2000 to fight peer-to-peer piracy and claims "every major record label and movie studio" as its clients, suffered a security breach with the apparent theft of thousands internal emails over the weekend.

The theft and subsequent publishing of the emails on BitTorrent - by a group called MediaDefender-Defenders - indicated that MediaDefender had created a website designed to entrap illegal uploaders.

According to the emails, MediaDefender put up that so-called "honeypot" website, www.MiiVii.com, to permit people to upload and download copyrighted movies, television shows and music.

When visitors installed software associated with the site, the software could also surreptitiously track their activity and report to MediaDefender.

Some reports said that the company also intended to co-opt MiiVii users' computers and turn them into anti-piracy machines in an effort to cut off downloads of copyrighted content. These would distribute files that appeared to contain copyrighted material but in fact were "empty."

MediaDefender-Defenders claimed responsibility for the breach, noting, "By releasing these emails we hope to secure the privacy and personal integrity of all peer-to-peer users."

The release of the MediaDefender emails set off a flurry of blog comments, including the posting of the emails to a variety of widely visited sites. The email contents included personal data, such as employee home phone numbers and Social Security numbers, along with private emails.

Expect mobile mayhem
Expect mobile mayhem

As big business finally gets a hold on security, SMEs relying on off-the-shelf e-commerce tools are easy prey.

Small businesses are now becoming prime targets for the hacker. Take, for example, an interesting trend emerging in "script-kiddie" hacker attacks. One of the most startling was a note by Visa that more than 80 per cent of all the hacks involving card data theft are against merchants that carry out fewer than 20,000 card transactions a year.

This suggests that big business is finally starting to get security right. No great surprise, given the various compliance drivers, increased spend on security and more readily available expertise they have at their disposal. The PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) may have taken its time in addressing the security of credit card transactions (it was initiated in January 2005) and be far from perfect, but there's little doubt it has made processes more uniform.

It's true that the biggest prizes are to be found in big business. It is the behemoth retailers that have some of the largest databases of customer card data, and the most significant "attack surface", given their physical presence. The problem for the hacker is that these businesses also have anti-fraud departments and the ear of the police. But if I were a hacker, I would probably go after a small online retailer that uses an off-the-shelf e-commerce package that I know is full of issues.

I would use Google to find the store, searching for a path or file I know is associated with that particular e-com package. A few minutes later, using automated tools, I would probably have access to their complete customer database. And, if they're carrying out their own card transactions, I may have accrued a reasonable number of card numbers.

Repeat the process several times against several online retailers using the same package, and I have a significant, saleable database of customer and card data. These SMEs may be small fry, but for the hacker it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

The problem is exacerbated for small merchants that use a hosted service. Online stores are frequently hosted by a third party, probably on a shared web server as small businesses can rarely afford dedicated hosting. As a result, I might just hit the jackpot and find that even the database is shared, giving me instant access to the data from every website hosted on that same box.

If that sounds like scaremongering, then don't just take my word for it. Take a look at www.zone-h.org. The site lists occasions where large quantities of web sites have been quickly defaced, usually on shared web servers. Even worse, some automated script-kiddie attacks appear to write to databases using injection methods. These "infections" can be Googled, so one can easily find vulnerable web applications to attack.

Suddenly, the much maligned PCI standard looks like a good idea. But remember that merchants processing fewer than 20,000 transactions per year do not have to provide evidence that they are following the standard. They have a duty to achieve and maintain compliance but are usually exempt from the audits and ASV (approved scanning vendor) scans required of their larger brethren, creating a loophole the hacker can exploit.

Smaller businesses in general are also now a target because they are deploying state-of-the-art technology. As the cost of new technologies decreases, many are deploying sophisticated equipment such as push email on Windows Mobile, which is easily hooked up to Outlook Mobile Access. What they forget is that policies and support are needed to back up this kit.

So what should the small business do? Our advice for retailers would be to adhere to the PCI advisory guidelines of conducting a quarterly scan if you can. For other SMEs, it's imperative to update your software and ask any third-party hosters what security assurances they can give you. That way, you may just make yourself that bit harder to attack than the next SME, and the hacker will go for them, not you.

A new variant of the Zeus Trojan that is designed to run on Android smartphones has been detected.

Research from Fortinet found that ‘Zitmo' has been used to defeat SMS-based banking two-factor authentication on Symbian, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile platforms for several months. It said that Zitmo malware poses as a banking activation application and in the background it listens to all incoming SMS messages and forwards them to a remote web server.

Denis Maslennikov, senior malware researcher at Kaspersky Lab, said: “The first fact that must be mentioned is that Zitmo for Android differs from Symbian, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry versions a lot.

“The functionality and logic of Zitmo for Symbian, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry is the same including the command and control phone number, SMS commands and the ability to forward SMS messages from a particular number, as well as the ability to change the command and control centre.

“The functionality and logic of ZitMo for Android is far more primitive. The APK file itself has a 19k size. It passes itself off as a security tool from Trusteer. If a user installs the malicious application then the ‘Trusteer Rapport' icon will appear in the main menu and that is what is going to be on the screen after clicking on the application's link.”

Eddy Willems, G Data security evangelist, said: “This variant of Zitmo is yet another strong indication that Android is increasingly coming under attack due to its thriving popularity worldwide. As is the case with computer malware, cyber criminals and anti-virus vendors are in a constant rat race concerning mobile operating platforms with new, unknown attacks always around the corner.

“Securing your device with mobile security software is smart, because it protects against the attacks that are known. However, users must also be cautious when downloading apps and accessing their online banking accounts.”

Trusteer CEO Mickey Boodaei said: “Android's security architecture is not currently up to the challenge. This is reflected mainly in the ease of generating powerful fraudulent applications and the ease of distributing these applications. Users installing these applications do get a message with a list of resources the app is requesting access to, but would usually ignore it, as many applications request access to an extensive list of resources.

“Building a powerful fraudulent Android application that steals and abuses your identity and your bank account is almost trivial. Distributing these applications on the Android Market is even more trivial. There are no real controls around the submission process that could identify and prevent publishing malicious applications on these stores.”

Maslennikov said: “The first attacks with Zeus-in-the-Mobile for Android started probably in early June. But how does Zitmo for Android actually infect devices? Nothing has changed in this area.

“Besides a site hosting the downloader, cyber criminals have also uploaded Zitmo for Android to the Android Market. The application has already been removed but, as it was in previous cases of malware in the Android Market, there are mirroring websites which save the information about all the programs approved by Google.”

Walking On Air is a charity based at the SGC, which provides gliding experiences for those with disabilities.  An adapted glider and clubhouse allows most people with disabilities exactly the same opportunities as the able bodied.

Stepping Stones

Many of our members use skills they have learnt gliding as the foundation of other forms of aviation. Gliding is a cheaper way of developing basic flying skills, and it develops a greater awareness of weather and terrain. Light aircraft and microlights are another challenge for glider pilots, but gliding usually remains our real passion in aviation.

Car Thief Nabbed Via Cell Phone

A stolen car, from Chesterfield Township in Detroit in the United States, was located and the thief arrested because an old cell phone belonging to the female owner of the vehicle was left inside the car and police were able to track it by using its GPS coordinates.

The 53-year-old woman phoned police on Sunday at about 6 o’clock in the evening to report that her car had been stolen after being left parked but running outside a house on Wand Street. The woman informed the police officer who arrived on the scene that the car contained both her purse and her cell phone. Dispatchers were then able to make contact with the cell service provider, which then gave real time GPS coordinates of the cell phone, allowing police to track the stolen car as it was driven north on Gratiot Avenue and 27 Mile Road.

The car was stopped and the driver arrested within minutes of the coordinates being given to a deputy from the St Clair County Sheriff’s Department and a Michigan State Police trooper. A 41-year-old Chesterfield resident, Richard Moore, has been arraigned on charges of driving with a suspended license, his second such offense that is a one-year misdemeanor, and unlawfully driving away an automobile, which is a five-year felony. Mr. Moore is currently being held on a $10,000 bond in the Macomb County Jail.

Help:Development environment setup

Jump to: navigation, search
Developer manualProgrammer's guideHelp:Development environment setup

Some prerequisites to successfully setup a development environment.

  • Operating System
  • Apache
  • MySQL, SQLite, Postgres
  • PHP 5+

Various stacks are available and can help with the basic setup including LAMP, MAMP, XAMPP etc.

Is is also possible to use a Docker or mws:Vagrant environment for development tasks.

Environment setup

It is useful to setup the local wiki installation in a way that helps to detect and track down problems quickly. On the one hand, it is useful to use not-so-common installation settings to ensure that they are tested at some point:

  • Use a non-empty DB table prefix when installing MediaWiki.
  • Use $wgArticlePath = "$wgScript?title=$1"; in your LocalSettings.php (CGI compatibility mode). You may also change this back and forth to test both styles of URIs with your code.
  • In addition, enable $wgShowSQLErrors = true; and $wgDebugDumpSql = true; in your LocalSettings.php.

On the other hand, some PHP-specific settings are useful for find code problems:

  • The required version of PHP is found in INSTALL.
  • All developers need to have all errors, warnings, and notices in PHP switched on. Edit your file php.ini to contain error_reporting = E_ALL and remove any other statement of this kind.
  • If you are not running PHP 5.4 or later, then edit your php.ini to contain allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off. This directive was removed in PHP 5.4.
  • Your final code should never create any of the respective messages.
  • Enabling xdebug for your PHP improves the detail of the bug reports (the actual profiling feature of xdebug does not need to be enabled for this).

On Wednesday we discussed the importance of exercising your brain, and today we'll turn to your physical health. Physical fitness is one of the major cornerstones of maintaining a happy and healthy body, as well as a sharp mind. Despite a growing rate of Americans suffering from obesity, most people recognize the value of maintaining an active lifestyle and engaging in physical activity.

For adults over the age of 65, regular physical activity becomes one of the most important contributors towards a healthy and long life. However, those under 65 abide by a set of guidelines that may not be what older individuals with different needs desire. As a result, a different set of useful guidelines on physical activity are necessary. These guidelines offer older adults with an excellent road map towards a more active and healthy lifestyle.

How Physical Activity Helps Older Adults

Although everyone benefits from regular physical activity, adults over 65 who maintain an active lifestyle benefit most from regular exercise. Maintaining an active lifestyle that involves plenty of moderate to vigorous physical activity can help prevent a wide variety of age-related health problems. Health issues such as diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure often cause more harm in older adults who maintain a sedentary lifestyle as opposed to more active adults.

These are the benefits that older adults receive by keeping up an active lifestyle in combination with a healthy diet:

  • Show significant physiological signs of improved health
  • Have lower rates of high blood pressure, type-2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and colon cancer
  • Exhibit fewer symptoms of depression and other mental issues
  • Exhibit a higher standard of cardiorespiratory fitness as well as muscular strength
  • Show significant improvement in weight, body mass and composition
  • Less likely to experience loss of flexibility or strength as they age
  • Show lower risks of hip fractures, vertebral fractures or other similar conditions
Learn more about the guidelines to follow so you can craft active, healthy living during your retirement on our Physical Activity for Older Adults page.

Some mysteries never dim with time. One of them is hanging from an electrical wire in Livermore.

At Livermore Fire Station No. 6 is a lightbulb that has not burned out in 110 years. Nobody, even in this golden age of technology, knows why. And no one wants to unscrew the bulb to find out.

"It still gives that warm, comfy glow," said retired Livermore fire Division Chief Lynn Owens. "In this transient modern world, this lightbulb is really something you can trust. And nobody knows the mystery of it."

The lightbulb is about 3 inches long and slightly rounder than a modern lightbulb. Inside the hand-blown glass is a jumble of carbon filament that radiates about 4 watts of soft orange light - about the strength of a nightlight.

Its workings may be a mystery, but it's probably the most well-documented lightbulb in history. It was first installed in a Livermore firehouse on L Street in 1901, replacing the kerosene lanterns that helped firefighters load hoses and shovels for night calls.

At the time, lightbulbs - at least practical ones that lasted more than 12 hours - had been around for only about 20 years.

Between 1901 and 1903, the then-60-watt bulb was moved to a firehouse on Second Street, and then to a new station on First and McLeod streets.

For the next 71 years, the bulb languished in anonymity. No one seemed to notice that the bulb never made that telltale pop and fade to black. It was just always on.

But that changed in 1972, when an intrepid cub reporter named Mike Dunstan at the Livermore Herald News cracked the story with a lengthy investigative piece suggesting Livermore's glowing orb was possibly the oldest functional lightbulb on Earth.

The bulb became world-famous overnight. So when the old firehouse closed four years later, panic set in when it came time to unscrew the bulb and move it a mile away to the new firehouse on East Avenue.

The city's chief electrician was called in to turn it off, gently unscrew it and place it in a special foam box. It was moved with full police and fire escort, and 2 1/2 minutes later, the electrician screwed it in at the new firehouse.

"At first it didn't go on. There was a gasp from the crowd," Owens said. "But then Frank (the electrician), calm as can be, lightly tapped the switch and it came on again."

The bulb has been the subject of dozens of news stories, magazines, books and television shows. It's featured in the Guinness Book of World Records and Ripley's Believe It or Not.

Dubbed the Centennial Bulb, it is a wonder among engineers and advocates of energy-efficient lightbulbs.

It's featured in a soon-to-be-released documentary, "The Lightbulb Conspiracy," about the planned obsolescence of lightbulbs.

Double-decked tour buses often stop by the fire station for viewing. The guest book shows visitors from China, Germany, Fresno and beyond.

Despite its worldwide fame, the bulb has humble beginnings. It was created in the late 1800s by the Shelby Electric Co. in Shelby, Ohio, according to retired Sandia technician Steve Bunn, who's devoted his retirement to studying the bulb.

A French inventor named Adolphe Chaillet held the patent, and the bulb's secret probably died when he did.

Others have tried to decipher the mystery, however. Scientists - of which there are thousands around Livermore and its labs - have studied it for decades. Some, like David Tse, an electrical engineering professor at UC Berkeley, are skeptical.

"It's not possible. It's a prank," he said curtly, slamming down the phone.

Henry Slonsky, an electrical engineering student at San Francisco State, was more open-minded.

"It's highly unlikely, but it's possible if the bulb has a really strong vacuum," he said. "And back then they did make everything way over the top."

The bulb made its way from Shelby to Livermore via Dennis Bernal, owner of the local power company. After he sold the company, he donated surplus bulbs to the Fire Department.

Generations of firefighters have relied on the bulb's soft glow to guide them, from the days of horse-drawn carts to today's giant engines.

"We used to touch the bulb for good luck on our way to fires," said Owens, who worked alongside the bulb for 30 years. "But all that came to a screeching halt when we realized the bulb's significance."

Current firefighters swear they don't sneak into the firehouse at night to change the bulb.

"We're the Fire Department. We're very trustworthy," said firefighter Roy Andora. "You trust us with your lives. You can trust us with a bulb."

Fans of the bulb have no doubt of the bulb's power. They watch it on a 24-hour webcam at They know it's real.

"I equate it with a pet rock or a hula hoop," said Dick Jones, a retired Sandia engineer who specializes in photographing the bulb. "It's just one of those things that people seem to like."

Livermore is planning a party June 18 for the bulb, assuming no one accidentally smashes it before then.

The Chronicle's Peter Hartlaub has what might be called a morbid (but fun) obsession: Digging through the paper's archives, or "morgue," to find photos that tell a story about life in the Bay Area.

Starting this week, Peter's "Let's Go to the Morgue!" feature comes to the Datebook section of the Chronicle iPad app. It will appear each Thursday, providing a photographic blast from the (not always distant) Bay Area past. You might even see your younger self - or someone you know - brought back to life in cool black and white.

In this week's debut Morgue feature, just in time for back to school, Hartlaub finds schoolkids from across time, and puts them all in their places with bright, shiny faces. You'll be tempted to sharpen up some No. 2 pencils yourself.

When Heidi Sabelhaus Myers first moved to San Francisco in the 1990s after earning a degree in art history, owning a three-store neighborhood boutique chain was not part of her master plan.

Although she had fulfilled her dream of working in an art gallery, subsequent opportunities in advertising and a six-month travel break across Asia and Europe made her rethink her career path. As her first HeidiSays boutique on Fillmore Street celebrates its 10-year anniversary this fall, Sabelhaus Myers, 39, reflects on her path to fashion entrepreneur and how the boutique has evolved with its customers and her own personal life.

"Through my work in art, I knew I loved design, I loved color, I loved shape, I loved people. So it was about finding how I could integrate all of those things together. I love fashion, but it wasn't like, 'I love shopping, I want to open a store.' I had such an admiration for the creative department in my ad firm and the creative director - they were so impressive in how their minds worked."

While working for another advertising agency during the halcyon dot-com days, she cemented her vision for an online boutique. But to do it right meant having to leave the skyrocketing rents of the Bay Area for her hometown, Seattle. With the help of her older sister Holly, she launched her HeidiSays website. Still, her ties to San Francisco kept her from fully settling in Seattle. Sabelhaus Myers returned, opening HeidiSays Collections on Fillmore Street in November 2001.

Her talent for design and creativity served her well when she was furnishing the store on a shoestring budget with pieces taken from her own home, including a door refashioned as an accessories counter. While the boutique's interior just received a makeover, the apparel is still very much in the aesthetic Sabelhaus Myers describes as "classic with an edge."

Heidi and her management team are regulars on the fashion show circuit, and each season involves hours of scrutiny and editing to purchase just the right mix of pieces to fulfill the needs of her niche customers, plus a few new things to push the envelope. Collections has been a strong source of labels such as Diane von Furstenberg, Theory, Haute Hippie and M Missoni, with newer designers like Tucker and Elizabeth & James available this season.

She features local talent as well, including jewelry designer Kathy Kamei, an advocate of Sabelhaus Myers from the start: "My feeling is that Heidi understands and celebrates women in an effortless way - understated elegance and casual comfort with accessories to pull it all together."

As for her own style, Sabelhaus Myers gravitates toward bohemian chic, but always with an eye on her customers' buying habits. "I try not to take myself too seriously and always try to infuse some fun into the mix. There are a lot of other stores doing completely different things, but I know my customers pretty well after 10 years. Sometimes I'll want them to break the mold, but I still try to stay with a certain kind of sophistication level that I feel my neighborhood appreciates."

In the 10 years since Collections opened, both her business and her family have grown. HeidiSays Shoes opened on Fillmore Street in 2007, while she was pregnant with her daughter, Vivian, now 4.

Sabelhaus Myers reflects on the ultimate dilemma of any fashionable mother-to-be: "What a chaotic, but exciting, time. I was seven months pregnant and determined to wear this amazing pair of 4-inch Giuseppe Zanotti heels on opening day. I would have lasted all day if it weren't for the fact that our stock was in the basement and down a very precarious set of stairs!"

Fortunately, her son Jacob, now 1, was born well after her third store, HeidiSays Casual, opened in 2008.

"All of my customers were evolving with me and having children, so they wanted more casual clothes," she said. "I had always been dressed in Collections, and I noticed my customers changing. I had a couple of racks of casual clothing that were just flying out the door."

With the toughest year of 2009 behind her, Sabelhaus Myers still follows the lessons learned to see it through. "The recession took me back to the beginning when I first opened and to those lean times, and made me realize that I wish I would have been running my business this lean the whole time.

"I look back and think about these different times, and I feel like I didn't allow myself time to get scared or think what if it didn't work out. I just kind of kept my head down, worked hard, and that's what got me going and up and running."

She keeps a small staff of 12 to 15 and credits them with recently letting her relinquish some of the day-to-day responsibilities to spend more time with her family in their Marina neighborhood. She has also mentored women with aspirations of owning their own boutiques, but warns it takes more than a love of fashion and shopping:

"While you can have great style and be a great stylist yourself, you are still running a business. In order to make it work, you have to work hard."

Where to find Heidi

HeidiSays Collections: 2426 Fillmore St., San Francisco.

HeidiSays Casual: 2416 Fillmore St.

Heidi Says Shoe Salon: 2105 Fillmore St.

18th National Health Through Fitness Day 2017 Set For March 22 in Washington, D.C.

Date: 1/30/17

Industry Leaders Promote PHIT Act to Address U.S. Inactivity Pandemic

Silver Spring, MD, January 30, 2017 – The Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA) – the leading global trade representative for category manufacturers, retailers and marketers – today announces the 18th annual National Health Through Fitness Day will be held Wednesday, March 22 on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.

National Health Through Fitness Day brings together health and fitness leaders, celebrity athletes and experts from around the country to address the U.S. inactivity pandemic. Industry professionals will meet with members of Congress to discuss the importance of the Personal Health Investment Today (PHIT) Act. The PHIT Act, if passed, would change current Federal tax law to allow consumers to use pre-tax medical accounts to pay for expenses related to sports, fitness and other qualified physical activities.

“Health and wellness is something that affects us all, now more than ever,” said Tom Cove, President and CEO of SFIA. “For the first time in 20 years, U.S. life expectancy has fallen. Over 35 percent of kids aged 5-17 are overweight or obese, and 30 percent of the population is inactive. Something must be done to promote living an active and healthy lifestyle, and the PHIT Act helps achieve that goal.”

Herschel Walker will serve as Honorary Chairman of National Health through Fitness Day, to be accompanied by a wide variety of professional and Olympic athletes. “I know the importance of physical fitness and remaining healthy — regardless of age,” says Walker, who has attended National Health Through Fitness Day for 17 consecutive years. “As a nation we must come together to stop sedentary habits and promote lowered fitness costs and eliminating barriers to physical activities. The PHIT Act is poised to positively impact millions of lives.”

A full list of celebrity brand ambassadors participating in National Health Through Fitness Day will be announced in the coming weeks.

The Boys and Girls Clubs of America, the American College of Sports Medicine, The National Recreation and Parks Association, Pop Warner Football, The American Council for Exercise, The Cooper Institute, The American League of Bicyclists, The Yoga Alliance, the Outdoor Industry Association and the National Council on Youth Sports will be among the organizations participating in National Health Through Fitness Day on March 22nd.

10 Shopping Tips from a Farmers Market Manager

Top image and article cross-posted from Nourished Kitchen.

Has your favorite market started its season? With the cost of food climbing and interest in local foods growing, you might be wondering how to get the most from your farmers' market this season. My husband and I manage one of the most progressive farmers' markets in Colorado. (See that beauty up there? That’s our market.) And, in those six years, I’ve come to find a few tips and tricks that will help you save money, find the best foods, and make good relationships with your growers.

With the first day of our farmers' market arriving on Sunday, my husband and I are finalizing layout, design work, promotional materials, and a brand-new farm-to-restaurant program. We’re busy, busy. But I still wanted to take the time to share with you my tips for getting the most from your market.

1. Go early, but not too early.

The best stuff goes fast. A farmer may only have a single flat of ripe, juicy blackberries or a couple of pounds of fresh green peas, so arrive early to make sure you get the best pick of the market’s high-demand, seasonal fruits, and vegetables. Take care, though, not to go too early: some markets disallow sales prior to the official hour and the sale you ask the farmer to make early may very well slow down set-up thus reducing the sales she or he can make later.

2. Or go late, but not too late.

Farmers may discount their produce toward the end of the day. No one wants to cart a half case of unsold tomatoes or peaches back to the farm where they have row after row ready for another harvest. If your budget is tight, attending late may yield the best deals. Sometimes, farmers discount their produce as much as 20 percent by the end of the day just to get it sold so they don’t have to take it back to the farm. Of course, the rules and regulations of some markets actually disallow this sort of end-of-the-day blowout pricing, so keep that in mind if you’re late to arrive. Keep in mind that you shouldn’t expect this kind of discount, or ask for it; rather, be aware that it is a practice that some farmers use.

3. Ask questions.

Rules and regulations vary wildly from market to market. Just because it’s at a farmers' market, doesn’t mean it’s organically grown or even sold by the person who did the growing. Now our farmers' market has some of the strictest rules in the nation. We require that all produce be Certified Organic or Certified Naturally Grown, that all meats, eggs and animal foods be pasture-raised and grass-fed. Even prepared food vendors and concessionaires are required to only use Certified Organic ingredients. We also audit every vendor to make sure those rules are adhered to. Of course, our market is an anomoly – most markets don’t have these kind of requirements and some have no regulations on what can be sold or who can sell it.

So, take the time to ask questions. Do you spray? What do you spray? What are your cows eating? How much time do they spend on grass? Is your farm ever open to the public? Do you grow what you sell?

4. Offer to help a market manager.

Market managers need help, too. While customers bitch and moan about prices, or lack of out-of-season produce that has no place at a market (Seriously, guys? You want oranges in Colorado … in July?) and farmers are complaining because they know their rival got the sweet spot in the market (FYI: There is no sweet spot in a market.), your market manager is busting his or her hump making sure vendors have change, tents are weighed down so they don’t fly into your car during a wind gust, calling ambulances for heat stroke victims, and sending that random dude who showed up trying to sell Chinese pocket knives home. It’s a lot of work, and they need a lot of help.

By offering to help, you not only support your market and the market manager (market manager burnout is the #1 reason for market failure according to a study commissioned by the Oregon Tilth Association), but also get to know your farmer. And some markets, like ours, compensate volunteers with huge bags of fresh produce, grass-fed meats, and pasture-raised eggs at the end of the day.

5. Bring your own bags and baskets.

Most vendors don’t supply and don’t wish to supply customers with disposable bags. Other markets, like ours, are designated zero-waste zones and don’t allow vendors to bring new plastic bags for customer use. By bringing your own bags, youreduce waste at the market and in your own home. Plus, there’s just something exceptionally beautiful about a basket brimming with bright green lettuce, dark red cherries, orange apricots, and other lovely fruits and vegetables.

6. Bring a cooler.

Good markets offer considerably more than fruits and vegetables. You’ll find meats, fish, milk, cheese, yogurt, fermented foods, and ready-to-eat items that require refrigeration. By bringing a cooler, you can keep fresh foods that need to be kept cool cold and go back to spend more time at the market – listening to music, watching the kids participate in children’s activities, or lunching at one of the concessionaires’ stands. This way your lettuce won’t go limp, your berries won’t melt, and your meat won’t thaw. When I go to market I keep a cooler in my car, load up, and head right back.

7. Bring cash and small bills.

By bringing cash and small bills (plenty of fives and ones), you’ll spend less time checking out and more time shopping. While bigger farmers' markets usually have a credit card machine, they are cumbersome, costly, and it can be hard to track them down. Bigger vendors will usually offer credit card and debit card processing; however, this privilege comes at the farmer’s expense. By bringing cash and – specifically – small bills, you keep money in your farmer’s pocket and you make it easier for him to make change for the masses of folks who bring nothing but $20 bills from the nearby ATM.

8. Buy by the case.

You want to keep your miles-to-the-plate low and keep eating local foods year-round, so consider preserving the harvest and purchase by the case. Buying by the case and in bulk quantities is cost-effective as most farmers will discount whole boxes of fruit and vegetables by 15-30 percent – you may even enjoy a further discount if you commit to buying a case or two a week for the duration of the market. With that level of commitment, you’re getting wholesale prices. And it’s this way that I can manage to buy 30 lbs of local organic cabbage for just $0.75/lb for homemade sauerkraut or sweet cherries for $1.50/lb to freeze or dry.

9. Buy the ugly stuff.

You can reduce your costs even further by purchasing #2 fruits and vegetables. Folks can be fickle about the food they eat and, if that peach lacks just the right blush and if that apple isn’t perfectly round, they can be difficult to sell. The flavor is the same and these fruits and vegetables are great to preserve for the winter months. Cases of #2 produce can be discounted as much as 50 percent. Take care, though, to check the produce thoroughly before making your purchase; some unscrupulous farmers have tried to pass off moldy peaches or maggot-filled sour cherries as #2 fruit. (I’ve learned the hard way.) #2 fruit means that the appearance is marred, but not the quality.

10. Know the crop calendar.

You’d laugh if you knew how often I have to field a question on why we don’t sell bananas at our Colorado market, or why apples aren’t available in June, or why cherries aren’t available in October. If you want to eat in season, you need to respect the seasons. Part of the pleasure of shopping at your local market is developing an appreciation of fresh, local foods at the height of their natural season. If you’re unsure when apricots will be in season or when the snap peas will stop producing, visit the farmers' market information booth.

Many markets produce a market-specific crop calendar that will tell you when various fruits and vegetables available at your local farmers' market will begin and end. If your market doesn’t offer this service, your county cooperative extension office or your state’s department of agriculture will. Celebrate your market and your local farmers. Buy fresh, buy local, and buy in season.

The Basic Metal Polish Care Kit

The Complete Metal Polish & Auto Care Kit
December 17, 2013
Show all

$49.95 $44.95

A 12oz bottle of Metal Polish + Cleaner & a 12oz bottle Sealer + Repellent.

Frequently Bought Together

Price for all:   $129.80

This combination kit is for just the Metal Polish + Cleaner (1 bottles) and Sealer + Repellent (1 bottle); 2 total bottles.

The All Metal Polish + Cleaner is designed to clean the metal surface of any foreign oxidation or residue by chemically lifting it off of the metal surface and dissolving it. Working the polish into the metal will allow the polish to fill in micro-abrasions, scratches, and pitting. If it’s the 1st time cleaning the metal surface with Sheen Genie, you may need to apply several applications to completely clean the metal surface. While applying the Polish + Cleaner, please make sure to apply some pressure with a terry cloth towel. This will work the polish into the metal surface and speed up the polishing process. After application, allow 15-20 seconds for the product to dry before wiping off.

Following the All Metal Polish + Cleaner, apply a light coating of the Sealer + Repellent with a clean part of the terry cloth towel and allow the formula to powder to a haze. Let this sit on the metal surface for at least 2-3 minutes. Keep in mind that the longer it sits on the metal surface, the better it will work. It does not hurt the metal to leave it for even 30+ minutes or even for a month! Removal is easy; simply just wipe it away with your clean towel to reveal a much cleaner, smoother, and glossy metal surface that will last.

We recommend application with a premium terry cloth towel and wiping off with a micro-fiber towel for best results. ALWAYS make sure you’re using a clean part of the towel for both application and wiping away.

Check out the video at the top of the home page for quick “how it works” instruction.

3 Reasons SMBs Like Hybrid Unified Communications

Written by Pam Bednarczyk, Content Marketing Manager | March 03, 2016

3 Reasons SMBs Like Hybrid Unified Communications

Small to mid-sized businesses face many of the same challenges as larger enterprises: fast-moving, competitive markets, meeting demand for high service levels and the need to launch products quickly. But unlike bigger firms, SMBs don’t have vast resources at their disposal. Without a lot of slack in either teams or budgets, it’s imperative for them to get more from both.

While many smaller companies see the cloud as a solution to this squeeze – 90% of SMBs now plan to harness cloud technology in the next year – fully embracing cloud solutions isn’t always the ideal. For example, some businesses worry about reduced performance, control and security that may come from moving everything to the cloud.

Thus, it’s not surprising that an increasing number of organizations find a compromise solution attractive; hybrid brings the best of both onsite and cloud solutions. In fact, tech researcher Techaisle reports that hybrid cloud accounts for 32 percent of cloud using mid-market businesses today, and was expected to capture a similar proportion of new spending in 2015.

For SMBs, hybrid communications provide all the benefits of a pure cloud – shared services, scalability, reduced cost, greater agility – along with the performance and control of onsite systems. This combination is attractive to SMBs, which value flexibility as a necessary component for growth.

3 Reasons Companies Prefer Hybrid Solutions:

1. Greater Flexibility, Today and in the Future. With a hybrid communications solution, SMBs can deploy new services easily from the cloud, without worrying about creating additional work for their IT team. As business requirements change – new remote locations are added, for example, or temporary lines are needed to handle an unexpected upswing in calls – the IT infrastructure can immediately adapt. Because a hybrid communications solution such as Mitel Connect HYBRID Sites is based on a common platform for cloud and onsite, hybrid deployments are easy to administer with common dial plans, directories and four-digit dialing whether service is being delivered from the cloud or from headquarters. Employees get the same features from all their devices, whether they are in the office or on the road. And best of all, you don’t have to know exactly how your communications needs will develop over time; HYBRID Sites is based on a common platform that works with what you already have, you can move to the cloud as the business need requires.

2. Productivity on Demand. Hybrid cloud communications solutions allow SMBs to empower employees with tools that increase productivity such as Scribe, which transcribes voicemails to emails, or a unified company directory that allows employees, partners and customers to collaborate across teams. A hybrid deployment also enables a smarter utilization of internal resources. For example, IT staff can focus on the areas where their expertise is most needed since the cloud-based branches are managed, maintained and updated remotely by the Mitel datacenter.

3. Maintain Local Control. Some SMBs have been reluctant to move all of their IT infrastructure to the cloud. With a hybrid deployment, organizations can maintain control of hardware located onsite, such as an onsite phone system, and deploy cloud-based phone systems and apps for branch offices. A hybrid phone solution like Mitel Connect HYBRID Sites provides the benefits of both models, even as it significantly reduces risk.

With lower costs and greater flexibility, it may seem inevitable that businesses will embrace full cloud solutions. But while that may make sense for larger enterprises, many SMBs will prefer to realize all the benefits of a hybrid communications solution well into the future.

Live from Enterprise Connect – A Mobile Life Time Experience

Facebook Google plus Linkedin Twitter

Sometimes in your life, you realize that technology can really have a big impact in your life. This week at Enterprise Connect in Orlando, Fla., the ShoreTel booth is packed with people having an opportunity to see our latest solutions.

They looked at our enterprise contact center solutions that demonstrate how a customer can interact with an agent via the phone or web chat.  But the real excitement was to see how people learned about our new ShoreTel Mobility solutions and ShoreTel solutions for the Apple iPad, just like the iPad I’m using right now at the table to right this blog. It’s very cool to see the facial expressions of people being able to share a presentation from their iPad with people viewing the slides on a PC. It makes people feel like they’re experiencing something new for the first time.

This show has been a real eye opener for me, because it is the first time in my life that I have attended a tradeshow without a laptop PC. It may sound strange, but it’s changed the way I feel about technology, because it made my life just a little easier not having to lug around a heavy case and wait for a PC to start up.  And I can even use VDI to connect to a server and work on native Microsoft Office files. The ShoreTel addition for voice and collaboration just gives us two more reasons to use technology in new ways. In fact, every analyst and press briefing we did in New York before the launch of our ShoreTel Mobility solutions for the iPad show was also given from my iPad. And last night I used the ShoreTel Mobility in my hotel room to place a call to one of our contractors using my ShoreTel Sunnyvale caller ID. Now, if only they could invent that Star Trek transporter that could beam me back home and avoid a six-hour flight when the conference ends. Until then, I’ll take every little thing that helps make life just a little easier.
