Why architecture is the new “must”!

By Sergio González | 11:24

Architecture may flash us out with its beautiful looks but its core is making our lives better, not just better looking. It’s all about improved environments where we can feel free and be ourselves. And the best thing about architecture is that we don’t need to understand it to feel its benefits. Modern society has […]

Moving, Building and Socializing. -Muscle pain and headache

There was mixed activities going on this weekend in the Salt Slush Racing garage and the main topic was not the Amazon, even if Magnus ensured a certain progress. No, this weekend moving was on the agenda.
Andreas, who's been a garage member since 2006 is leaving us and instead Karl-Johan and Magnus from the Salt Slush team takes his place.
Mario & Gitte Felker who had hired a place from Andreas took their Alfa home to Germany and hence we had the possibility to have another farewell party . I think it was the forth...
Also Ragnar got all his English stuff together and he's now a lucky owner of two well working (!) sporty vehicle with English heritage. Happy as can be after this success, he prepared the Lotus Exige for a track day that took place Sunday. Maybe we'll see him again on Monday in the garage...
Saturday lunch: This shouldn't take too much time. Drive out Mario's Alfa and move out some stuff and then we're good. Or not...
...two hours later.
 Carina's C20...
...and our Chevy Van...3 hours later.
It turned out that as well Petter had filled up Andreas place with stuff and he was happy to see his parts again. At least SOME of the parts.
Sun was shining and suddenly there was a relaxing moment.
Except for Magnus who's constantly makes sketches and models.
 From ideas to practical shape in matter of seconds. Rapid Prototyp Classic = Magnus in action.
 This is the leftovers from Ragnar's Mini Service, let's call it Service B (B as in Big service)
In most peoples mind a Lotus Exige 240 has certain limitations as a daily driver. Ragnar doesn't understand that at all. Especially not when he is happily prepare for a track day. My own Corvette C6 feels like an reasonable, comfortable commuter in comparison.

Black lives matter, if you ignore the facts

The NY Times philosopher column argues:
The correspondence theory of truth no longer reigns supreme in philosophical circles when it comes to the study of knowledge and judgment. But it remains handy for everyday people, especially citizens. That theory says, simply, a proposal is true if it corresponds to an observation in the world. Not a bad way to go when people are trying to figure out the stuff of democratic living. After a week in which we have seen the unwarranted killing by police of two black men — Philando Castile in Minnesota and Alton Sterling in Louisiana — I’d like to think the correspondence theory of truth would get all Americans on the same page. But this has consistently failed to be the case. Maybe we can figure out why together.

So, I say: In America, black lives don’t matter. You say: That is false. I respond, implicitly invoking the correspondence theory of truth: Just look at the rate at which blacks are killed by the police and the rate at which police officers are exculpated. ...

Chris Lebron is an assistant professor of African-American studies and philosophy at Yale University and the author of “The Color Of Our Shame: Race and Justice in Our Time.” He is at work on a book on the history of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Yale students deserve better than this.

First, there is not enuf public info to determine whether those killings were warranted or not. Previous killings were widely reported to be unwarranted, such as Trayvon, Ferguson, and Freddie Gray having had narrative collapses, and the killers were not to blame.

Second, the rate of black killings says little if not compared to black crime and other black misbehavior.

Third, he is rejecting the idea that facts can illuminate the matter. If blacks feel aggrieved, then whites must do something, regardless of the facts.

Lots of people believe that they are unfairly treated, based on paranoia and subjective impressions. I post this because even Yale students are taught to disregard facts when concluding that blacks are unfairly treated.

The NY Times is run by (((Trump haters))), of course, and here is their latest attack:
But Tony Schwartz, the book’s ghostwriter, who spent 18 months in the 1980s interviewing and shadowing Mr. Trump, says that it is really a work of fiction. ...

“I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is,” Mr. Schwartz said. “I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes, there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”
If the guy is willing to lie in a book for money, and if he thinks that Trump will end civilization, then I assume that he will tell any lies he can to damage Trump.

Is anyone going to believe this hysterical paranoia?

Hillary Clinton is the biggest warmonger Presidential candidate in many decades. If Schwartz is really worried about war, then he would vote for anyone who might defeat her.

Since he is not rational, I assume that Schwartz has some sort of emotional ethnic hatred for Trump.

Anonymous said...

Since Schwartz is, "not rational" then there'd be a million possible reasons for his hatred of Trump. What makes you assume that it's an ethnic hatred in particular ? Is it rational to make assumptions about someone you consider irrational ? Schwartz didn't say that Trump will end civilization. He also didn't say that he would vote for Clinton or that Clinton might not end civilization or it was a possibility under a Clinton administration.

Roger said...

There could be a lot of reasons, but when a largely Jewish newspaper publishes a lot of irrational Trump-hating articles quoting Jews or having Jewish bylines, then it is not a coincidence.

Anonymous said...

You can't definitively conclude that it's not a coincidence. You can't even come close to saying it's not a coincidence. there's over 1,000,000 Jews in N.Y.C.. Of course, the Times is going to have a lot of Jews on their staff. Look at the demographic pool from who they hire. A lot of people don't think that the articles in the Times about Trump are, "irrational Trump hating articles". Trump is from N.Y. and they know very well his history and what sort of person he is. Trump has had more than his fair share of problems in N.Y.. There's plenty of reasons for a reporter in N.Y. to write negative stories about him.

What you're saying just doesn't add up. About 2% of the U.S. is Jewish and about 40% of the U.S. hates Trump.

Healthy Breakfast and Lite snacks

Breakfast and lite snacks ideas .....
As we all know eggs contain 6 gm of high quality protein, they are very versatile, as you can prepare many forms of egg dishes , also rich source of other vitamins like A, E and vit B12, so its  a great source of energy.
Eggs are desirable, making it a healthy option too. I like to add veggies like, green bell peppers, tomatoes, spinach to the omelet, adding low fat milk ,shredded cheese can be a good source of calcium.
If you are in a hurry during breakfast time, especially on week days, you can just scramble eggs, or prepare 6 to 7 boiled eggs before hand and store in the refrigerator.
As a vegetarian, the options to get protein and fiber can be obtained by making:
1.Oatmeal smoothie with chia seeds, using low fat yogurt.
2.Granola bars , prepared using dried fruits, nuts and  rolled oats are a great energy source. Peanut butter can be added, for protein.
3.Greek yogurt parfait prepared at home ,are a good source of calcium and protein.
4.Kale and avocado smoothie is another great morning starter high protein drink. Also beet juice , carrot juice and apple juice , combined together is a power house of energy and healthy too.
  Today, I will be making a healthy chevda, that can be enjoyed as a snack , its good for all, because of the healthy ingredients . This chevda uses very little oil. It is a mixture made  by using nuts, cornflakes,rice krispies cereal,sunflower seeds, flax seeds, healthy snacking without the guilt.

1 cup ready store bought cornflakes
1 cup rice Krispies (cereal)
1 cup kurmura ( puffed rice, available in Indian grocery)
2 tsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped almonds, cashews, peanuts each (all unsalted)
1/4 cup raisins
3 to 4 curry leaves
1 tsp mustard seeds
2 tsp white sesame seeds
2 tsp sunflower seeds or flax seeds
salt to taste
1 tsp chaat powder (available in Indian store)
2 dried red chilies

Diet / healthy  Chevda

1.Heat  2 tsp oil ,add  mustard seeds, allow to sputter , next add in  cashews, almonds and peanuts, saute` for a minute or two.
 2.Add in dried red chilies, curry leaves,salt, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and chaat powder.
3.Add in cornflakes, continue stirring on low heat, next add rice crisps,kurmura (rice puffs) mix all together,on low heat, stir for another 8 to 10 minutes and close burner.
On cooling,store prepared chevda (Diet mixture) in an air tight container , and enjoy as a healthy snack.

Downward facing Dog pose#4
A yoga pose  that resembles an inverted  V letter ,very beneficial pose, elongates the spine, and gives strength and body circulation.
Stand tall with feet hip distance apart. Shoulders relaxed.

1.Breathe in ,raise your arms up ,stretching your hand up above your shoulders.
2. Breathing out , lower the arm, and bend forward,with knees slightly bend, place palms on the ground,  spread  palms to help distribute the body weight.
3. Lift your hips up and head down, looking at the feet and body into an inverted V shape. keep this pose for a minute or two, and then bend knees to the floor, exhale and relax.
. Do not exert or push yourself, through the pose.

Harabhara Kababs

Whenever I am throwing a party for guests, planning for starters , is always a dilemma, there is never one thing that I feel confident for starters. When I heard about these Hara bhara Kababs, it sounded something that would impress  guests,but  not easy to prepare, then my friend showed me that its not difficult after all and I prepared them , she was right , they seemed straight forward to make.

Hara bhara kababs, as the name suggests is prepared by using  greens, and potatoes, along with spices, and later shallow fried. The outer coating gets a crisp finish and the warmness of inside creates a unique texture and makes them special to eat.

Harabhara kababs coated with sooji

Hara Bhara Kababs

4 to 5 medium sized boiled potatoes ( try to use the potatoes that are a little dry after being boiled)
1/4 cup boiled  (blanched) spinach
1/2 cup boiled green  peas ( Puree both  spinach and green peas, add 2 tsp lemon juice  and  keep aside)
2 tsp freshly minced garlic ginger paste
1 tsp finely chopped green chilies
1/4 freshly chopped green coriander leaves
2 tsp salt
2 tsp gramflour ( available in Indian store)
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp garam masla powder ( available in Indian stores)
1 tsp chaat masala powder (available in Indian grocery store)
1 cup Rava sooji for coating ( Also called semolina flour, available in Indian store)

1. Firstly peel and mash the boiled potatoes, to this add pureed spinach and peas.Mix together, add all spices, ginger garlic paste, green chilies and coriander.Check for salt, and if less add 1/2 tsp salt.
2.Add in 2 tsp chickpeas flour and using a spoon, spoon out little portions and using your palms, shape them into 2 inch diameter round shaped  patties  .Flatten the top a little, and coat with sooji, and shallow fry on both sides, for about 5 minutes on low to medium heat, till the cutlets appear brown in colour.

Pistachio's and saffron rice pudding (Kheer)

Kheer, a traditional Indian sweet , prepared by most of the Indians. The rice is cooked along with milk, and the addition of sweet cardamom provides the scented aroma, also pistachios and additional nuts adds  richness and flavor to this Indian sweet dish ,  Kheer. It can also be referred to as rice pudding, but call it what ever this recipe will make you want to try it immediately and enjoy the richness and  taste.

4 cups whole milk ( use low fat is preferred)
1 cup uncooked basmati rice
1 can condensed milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup sliced pistachios
1/4 cup sliced almonds
pinch of saffron
3 to 4 seeded small cardamoms seeds

Pistachio & saffron Kheer

1. Begin by washing  rice and adding it to  4 cups of milk, add  sugar and cardamom seeds and begin to  cook rice and milk, in a heavy bottomed medium sized cooking utensil, over low to medium heat. Add in pinch of saffron. Continue to stir the rice, and cook for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, as the rice appears to be cooked , add in pistachios and continue cooking on low flame. Reserve 2 tsp pistachios for decoration.
2. Next, stir in  condensed milk, and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, and check for sweetness, if  not too sweet ,add another tablespoon of sugar, but if you prefer less sweet then this is perfect.
3. Close the burner and pour out the ready kheer  ( rice pudding ) into a serving dish , garnish with more pistachios, and almonds and refrigerate.

Seventeen years is too long a fog
Place upon the mantle your old volume with a new rose
Time does not sympathize, marches in spite of you
Your bones are still older
Your days are still numbered
Seventeen years of this
Don’t really matter
As long as the rent gets paid
As long as the kids get fed
Your half life’s your whole life now
Sleep long enough and the rest of it sloughs off
You are not special,you were just lucky
No one will wake you
With kiss or with curse
You weren’t saved for greatness
You’re no sleeping beauty
Seventeen years haven’t taught you a thing
Everyone’s sick of your zombie act by now
Just wake the fuck up or admit you never will

Does 'Quantum encryption' defend against a quantum computer?

May 18, 2016

Quantum computing research is receiving a huge boost from the European Union. Today a Dutch newspaper mentioned that KPN, a large Dutch telecom operator, is going to secure one of their main links using 'quantum encryption' to protect against attacks using such quantum computers. I doubt that is going to help much.

Quantum encryption actually is a misnomer. What is meant is quantum key distribution (QKD). QKD allows two parties to securely establish a secret session key. This session key is then used in a traditional symmetric key encryption scheme to secure the actual data transfer between the two endpoints.

This traditional method is vulnerable to a quantum computer attack using Grover's search. This attack allows an adversary to recover the key used to encrypt the message in a significantly fewer number of steps than a traditional brute force search. (If the key is n bits long, brute force search requires 2n steps while Grover's search requires only \sqrt{2^n}=2^{n/2} steps.) For equivalent levels of security, the session key must be twice as long (for example 512 bits instead of 256 bits).

Moreover, QKD requires the existence of an authenticated (put public) channel over which the two endpoints can verify whether an adversary tried to eavesdrop on the quantum key exchange. This authenticated channel does not magically exist: it must be implemented using traditional cryptography. Using public key cryptography, so that an endpoint only needs to know the public key of the other endpoint, would be a natural option. But this type of cryptography is extremely vulnerable to attacks with a quantum computer so this does not protect against an active quantum adversary. This means a method based on shared secrets needs to be used, which introduces a key distribution issue.

(Update: note that the theoretical papers on QKD assume that the established key is used as a one time pad, where one key bit is used to encrypt one message bit. In practice, QKD does not create key bits very fast due to the privacy amplification required to detect eavesdropping. Therefore, in practice the established key is used as a session key to encrypt all traffic for say 1 second using a symmetric cipher like AES.)

Finally, the real security of QKD really depends on the actual implementation of the key distribution protocol using some kind of quantum phenomenon, and attacks on these physical instances are known (see e.g. here and here). These type of attacks are quite similar to the side-channel attacks on implementations of classical cryptography.

In any case, this suggests a traditional method to exchange keys based on symmetric key cryptography but using larger keys than usual would offer a similar level of security.

(Update: In particular I wonder whether the following scheme wouldn't offer the same level of security, in software only, without relying on quantum effects. Assume the QKD protocol establishes a key of b bits. Now distribute two secrets, both b bits long, between both parties: a key k0 and a seed s. And assume a cryptographic hash function that maps ${0,1}^{2b} {0,1}^b$. Both parties use for time slot i key ki. To create the new key, both parties execute ki = h(ki − 1, s) and throw away the old key (but keep the seed). This solution assumes perfect synchronisation between parties, but this can be achieved by letting one party be the master that sends a special synchronisation command over the encrypted communication link.)

What will help is to invest in and apply post-quantum cryptography (PQCrypto), a line of research a few of my colleagues are involved in.

Mr. Peter Hornby passed away

Very sadly the HRH editors inform that Mr. Peter Hornby passed away in Jakarta last 3 June, two days after suffering a severe stroke from which he did not recover.

Peter Hornby was in Indonesia to develop a cooperation project between two universities in the U.K. and Indonesia, a country where he has worked many years ago and that he loved.

All who had the privilege to work with Peter will remember him as a dedicated professional to the cause of improving Human Resource for Health Development but also a person with a lot of humour and wisdom.

On behalf of the HRH journal team we would like to express our condolences to his wife, family and friends.

May Peter rest in peace.

Born in the spring of 1771, Jacob Boatner was still an infant when his father acquired land on the Broad River. And he must have left the Fairfield County home as a very young man. Perhaps moving directly to Sumter County, for he was not enumerated in the 1790 census.

About 1900, Jacob’s grandson and namesake wrote the following version of early Boatner history:

Lewis Boatner came from Germany when a boy and settled on Broadriver, S.C. He served in the Revolutionary War as a teamster and showed his mechanical genius in rigging sails to his wagon to help propel it. After the war, he owned a merchant water-mill. While helping to keep this mill, his son Jacob learned the mill wright’s trade by which he made his fortune.

Two brothers came over with Lewis Boatner and settled in or near Philadelphia, neither of whom had families so far as we know. . . Mary Martin (Ludwig’s wife) was of French descent.

This fascinating account was written by a man whose ancestors had been gone from South Carolina for almost ninety years. Jacob had been the first to leave home and he had gone a daring distance, undoubtedly, his descendants’ version
acquired some inaccuracies through the years, but there is much that is probably correct.

While there is no known documentation that Ludwig had a wife of French descent, it is not impossible, for there were Huguenots in South Carolina. And while we now do not believe that Ludwig arrived in South Carolina during his boyhood or made his first home on the Broad River, still this was Jacob Boatner’s home from his infancy.

The story of Ludwig’s two brothers differs importantly from the claims of descendants of other branches, principally Solomon’s, whose versions mostly confused the relationships among the South Carolina Boatners.

The version of Jacob’s descendants is the only one which suggests a Pennsylvania connection. And certainly, we know that there were two Pennsylvania Botners – Elias and Joseph – who were younger contemporaries of Ludwig and perhaps orphans of Ludwig Botner of Heidleberg township, Pa. (See Chapter I.)

If Jacob’s version is correct on this point then our Ludwig parted company from his family without joining the Pennsylvania household. And evidently he never regained contact with his brothers. Someday perhaps we will be fortunate enough to have our curiosity satisfied on these questions. What is important here is the close matching of certain points in Jacob’s version with the known history; this suggests that the parts of the story that are most intriguing may also have come from Jacob himself.

In 1799, Jacob Boatner married Elizabeth Rebecca Gerald. If census records can be relied on to define neighborhoods, he and his wife made their first home in the southwest part of Sumter County. In 1800, Jacob’s neighbors included Cains,
Moores and Singletons. There is today a Cain’s Pond on a branch of Cane Savannah Creek called Brunson’s Swamp. And an 1825 map shows a mill site on this branch; it also shows close by the pond site “R Singleton’s Race Turf.” (See map page 112.) This neighborhood was about nine miles south of Elizabeth Boatner, widow of John Boatner, on Long Branch of Black River.

In 1801, Jacob purchased from General John Sumter, the leading citizen of the county, 223 acres on Bluff Head Branch, which was a fork of Long Branch. (S.C. Archives, Sumter County Deeds. Vol. AA, pp. 130-131. Roll 9.)

The county’s residents were mostly second generation colonials, coming from Virginia or from the South Carolina coast. The western area known as the “High Hills of Santee” became, late in the 18th century, a summering place for the low country gentry because of its healthful climate.

Sumter was one of the first South Carolina counties to benefit from the invention of the cotton gin. Cotton was being grown commercially there by 1796. The initial result was prosperity and the beginning of the plantation system, which was to spread throughout the south.

By 1810 (according to census tabulations), the county’s 14,877 inhabitants owned 1,309 spinning wheels and 570 looms. (There were also six distilleries and 2,000 gallons of peach brandy.) But overproduction and the worsening problem of land exhaustion had severely damaged the local economy; and its residents began leaving in large numbers for the newly opening lands to the west and south.

One of the greatest migrations occurred in 1810, under the leadership of John Gaulden Richardson, a descendant of “the worthy sensible gentleman” who had been admired by the Reverend Woodmason half a century earlier. (His mother was Martha Gaulden, no doubt close kin to John Boatner’s widow.)

Young Richardson, under the sponsorship of planters in his neighborhood, traveled on horseback in the closing months of 1808 to a settlement (now called Woodville) in the southwestern corner of the Mississippi Territory. In January, 1809, he staked out 160 acres where he raised profitable crops and returned home with an enthusiastic report of his success.

As a result, more than a thousand people made haste to form a caravan, which departed from Sumter County on the last Monday of November, 1809. A Richardson descendant later wrote. “Family after family fell into line, each with wagons, teams and equipment.” Their journey was an arduous one, covering hundreds of piles and lasting many months.

Jacob and Elizabeth Boatner were not part of this first wave. The county records confirm their presence as late as March 24, 1810, when they were co-sellers, with Elizabeth’s brothers Samuel and Charles and other family members, of land on Hatchet Camp Creek as heirs of Gabriel Gerald. (Sumter Deed Book CC, pp. 209-210.)

But they were preparing to leave even as the caravan departed, for less than a month afterward (December 13, 1809),   Jacob Boatner, mill wright, had sold the 223 acres on Bluffhead branch, the “tract whereon I now live.” (Deed Book CC, pp.137-138.) The inheritance from his father-in-law’s estate, added to the $608 from the sale of his own place, undoubtedly provided the stake which Jacob and Elizabeth Boatner used to launch their great adventure.

Their path lay though the Creek lands which were later to be claimed by Alabama. Passports had to be issued by the governors of Georgia to settlers seeking safe conduct through this Indian territory.

On April 30, 1810, only five weeks after the settlement of   Gabriel Gerald’s estate, passports were issued for the following party: “Jacob Boatner, his wife, two nephews, mother-in-law, and her two sons and a young man of the name of Ginn, and 28 negroes, all from Sumpter (sic) District. South Carolina.”

The 1800-1810 census for Washington County (which was the name that had been given to the 300 square mile area established in 1800 just north of British West Florida) records Jacob’s household in figures that square precisely with those of the passport: “three white males over 21; three white males under 21; two white females over 21, 28 slaves.”

The two nephews (whether Boatner or Gerald) have never been positively identified. (John’s son William Jared, then 22 years old, was still in Sumter County with his mother as late as January, 1811, though it is conceivable that he had made a hasty round trip in the interim.)

Another unexplained fact is that both Jacob and Elias Boatner had land grants reported as issued to them in 1809, a year before Jacob received his passport. It is conceivable that John Richardson was charged with filing requests for other applicants during his year of pioneering. Even if Elias and Jacob were absentee applicants, however, we have evidence that Elias, too, was involved in the plan to migrate from its inception – or at least that Jacob was acting on his behalf.

After his arrival, Jacob acquired land by grant in 1810, 1811, and 1816. His brother Elias joined him in the latter year and acquired still larger holdings. Their adjoining property was of great natural beauty – gently rolling hills heavily wooded in pine and mixed hardwoods. (Although hunting and fishing remain excellent to this day, it is now poor farm land.)

Jacob was one of the largest slave owners of Washington County; by 1830, he had 39 slaves. This seems ample evidence that he, as well as his brother Elias and nephew William Jared, had prospered on their new frontier to a degree that far exceeded anything that Ludwig had ever achieved, or even envisioned.

Jacob’s only son, Lawrence Marion Boatner (1812-1873), married Frances Kell in 1838, a year after Jacob’s death. Lawrence inherited a considerable estate and built on this to become one of the more affluent local citizens. Nothing is known of Jacob’s other child. Lawrence’s younger sister Theodora.

It was probably Lawrence’s son Jacob who wrote down in 1900, at the age of 55, the story of Ludwig’s origins which he had been told by his own father. This great grandson of Ludwig Bottner was evidently something of a chronicler, for he also penned a recollection of his Civil War service, which had mostly been in Mississippi and Alabama. He surrendered at Gaynsville, A1a. on May 13, 1865:

The quartermaster stole the money (intended for our pay) and six fine mules and a fine wagon and went with honors home.
I went home with 22 months military experience, the government owing me for 20 months at $25 per month, $500; 2 horses $300; bounty $25; extra service $50; and I held a claim for corn and beef for which I never got one cent, $500. Total $1.375.

Many of the descendants of the large family of Lawrence and Frances Kell Boatner still live in the region, although few now bear the Boatner name. Jacob’s house survived until World War II when it was demolished about the time that Camp Van Dorn was built on and around the old Boatner homesteads. But according to the Louisiana Genealogical Register (December, 1967, p. 63), Jacob’s vault, Elizabeth’s tombstone, and other early Boatner vaults and markers still remain.

The case for web filtering and web application firewalls: security | productivity | liability.

Risk Level: MODERATE

Internal threats now represent more than 60% of the risk to company data, 40% coming from hackers.

Type of Threat:

Web applications and web-enabled mobile devices for convenience is a green-field frontier for hackers. Corporate defenses were never designed to block web – they just allow port 80 and block playboy.com. Ok we’re way beyond security of 1998, so now we must re-look at our gateway devices and require them to control the most important aspects of our company, including web application access, usage, monitoring, website visits, reporting and more. We can no longer standby and hope our CRM access, our database, email and more is secure.

Why this is so important:

Convenience has driven faster than our security policies. Internal threats now represent more than 60% of the risk to company data, 40% coming from hackers. We must remember internal threats are dangerous for three main reasons;

  1. We trust them (authorized users)
  2. We don’t typically monitor them
  3. We give them access to everything.

End users and executives alike have a limited time with an organization. The best practice is to realize that loyalty is not what it used to be, and to get serious about a policy, then employ technology to ensure the data and assetts are protected. When people are conntected to the web or even their web mail, the natural belief is they can “send” important documents to their home email, from their home email, to “work” on it remote. That activity just lost your entire database of customers. Hopefully they dont work for a competitor in the future….

Liability has gone up? You bet!

Giving someone an ipad is enough to cause liability. Imagine them at home accessing things they should not with a copmany resources. Guess who’s fault it is? Yup – it’s the companies. Now imagine an employee downloading music and movies on a corporate owned system through open ports the traditional firewall/filter combos cant block. Again it’s the fault of the company. The third point brings up someone losing their laptop, which happens to have customer information. This happens all the time and brings hundreds of thousands of liability dollars, apologies, letters of shame, identity theft issues and more. Again, the companies responsibility and liability.

How to mitigate:

A couple easy ways; First you need a usage policy defining what can be accessed and what is inappropriate (BorderLAN can help with this template), Second a smart filter that monitors, reports and blocks inappropriate access both ON network AND OFF network on company devices or even personal devices. Third is to outline a web -app policy and procure a device to manage those apps. Think of it as a interal facing web-app firewall.

Technical Recommendations:

We recommend Appliance based Web Filtering with capabilities of controlling IPAD’s and mobile iDevices. We recommend Web Application Firewall appliances to mitigate and enforce usage policies on apps that are accessing critical and confidential data. BorderLAN can help consult with and size these appliances for your organization.

How do I store my hair extensions in a Luxy Hair Extensions Carrier?

Luxy Hair Accessories

To store your hair extensions, fold down the hook to open up the hanger, place your extensions onto the hanger with the hanger bar below the wefts, and lift the hook to close the hanger. Your hair extensions should feel secured once the hanger is closed. Then, simply unzip the Luxy Hair Extensions Carrier, slide it into the Carrier and move the hanger through the opening at the top. Once your hair extensions are neatly situated in, you may zip up the case and hang it in your closet for future use. Or, if you’re travelling, you can fold the hanger, roll the carrier up, button up the carrier, and tuck it into your luggage without it unravelling. Travelling with hair extensions just became so much more easier!

Winnipeg Meeting Room, MB

From BrethrenPedia

Jump to: navigation, search

The Winnipeg Meeting Room is theorized to be the oldest known Exclusive Brethren (EB) assembly throughout the province of Manitoba, and is also the oldest known assembly in general. The oldest correspondent listed within resources available is 1879 with N. Stovel. By 1889, they were Robert Block and C.M. Rubidge. In 1894, it was Joseph Doupe, who served until his death in 1910. And so and so forth.
