What the Internet of Things means for security

Bob Violino | Oct. 16, 2013
With more and more objects are connected via technology these days, it's time to investigate how they can be secured

You've probably been hearing a lot lately about the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT, while still in the early stages of development, is slowly making its way into the mainstream as more objects become connected via technology such as radio frequency identification (RFID) and the iniquitousness of the Internet.

Regardless of how the development of the IoT plays out in the months and years to come, or what specific plans organizations have for deploying related projects, there will clearly be security implications. IT and security executives might want to start thinking about the security aspects of IoT today, even if they have no immediate plans to link objects via the Internet.

Among the key security questions are what, if any, new challenges does IoT present and how can companies best prepare to address them?

Experts say the security threats of the Internet of Things are broad and potentially even crippling to systems. Since the IoT will have critical infrastructure components, it presents a good target for national and industrial espionage, as well as denial of service and other attacks. Another major area of concern is the personal information that will potentially reside on networks, also a likely target for cyber criminals.

One thing to keep in mind when evaluating security needs is that the IoT is still very much a work in progress.

"It's not a hard step; it is more of a gradual slope," says Andrew Rose, a principal analyst at Forrester Research Inc. in Cambridge, Mass., who covers security and risk issues and authored a 2012 report entitled, "Prepare Your Security Organization for the Internet of Things."

"Many things are connected to the Internet now, and we will see an increase in this and the advent of contextual data sharing and autonomous machine actions based on that information," Rose says.

Among the key security considerations with IoT is that an object, whether it's a truck, a vending machine or a medicine bottle, will become a part of a network environment.

"The IOT is the allocation of a virtual presence to a physical object," Rose says. "As it develops, these virtual presences will begin to interact and exchange contextual information, [and] the devices will make decisions based on this contextual device. This will lead to very physical threats, around national infrastructure, possessions [for example, cars and homes], environment, power, water and food supply, etc."

As a variety of objects become part of an interconnected environment, "we have to consider that these devices have lost physical security, as they are gong to be located in inhospitable environments, instantly accessible by the individual who is most motivated to tamper with the controls," Rose says.

Hello everyone. This is my guide for Katarina - The Sinister Blade.
Katarina is an assassin and melee. She's pretty easy to play with and you can make A LOT of kills with her. Sadly enough her defense is fairly low and her basic attack (physical damage) doesn't mean much. However, her amazing abilities compensate. That's why you absolutely have to focus completely on AP (ability power).
I don't know if you find this important, but I'm not ranked (yet). Nevertheless I do think I have more than enough experience with Katarina to make a guide.
I tried to make this guide noob-friendly. Sorry for the pros who think my explanation is too simple :p
I hope you like it!

Guide Top

Pros / Cons

    + Abilities cost nothing! (no mana & no health!)
    + Everytime you kill an enemy or assist in a kill, cooldowns are reduced with 15 seconds, which means Q, W & E have no cooldown!
    + Pretty easy to play with.
    + Great minion farmer.
    + Great escaping ability: Shunpo.

    - Squishy.
    - Bad in early game.
    - Ultimate is easy to stop.

Guide Top

Flash: Katarina has only got 1 escaping ability: Shunpo. And you can't use it all the time. That's why you need flash. I suggest you save flash for escaping purposes mostly. When chasing an enemy for example; don't use flash if you're not 100% sure you're going to get the kill. You could get in trouble later when you're the one being chased.
Ignite: This choice is pretty obvious since you're playing with an assassin. It's a great spell to finish off an enemy champion when he/she's trying to run away.
I suggest you don't use this spell if your enemy still has a lot of health. Use your abilities first.

I absolutely think these two spells are the most useful for Katarina. I'm not going to recommend any other spells.

Guide Top

Boots of Speed is standard. After that I advise you to buy Hextech Revolver as fast as possible. It already gives you some AP + the spell vamp keeps you alive in early game. You're still too frail though, that's why I chose Rylai's Crystal Scepter as second item. This item gives you the health you need, ability power and the passive is very useful.
Katarina isn't very fast, so I continue with Sorcerer's Shoes which also gives you magic penetration. From here on you just have to continue focusing on ability power items. Rabadon's Deathcap, Guardian Angel, Deathfire Grasp and lastly complete Hextech Gunblade. Hextech Revolver is very important, but you should only upgrade it to Hextech Gunblade when you have more than enough gold and when you already have your other items. Note: I always use the same items until Deathfire Grasp. Sometimes I use Wooglet's Witchcap or Void Staff instead!
I also chose Guardian angel because Katarina often gets focused (if your enemies are smart). Once she's fed, she's unstoppable.

Guide Top

Skill Sequence

Passive: If you kill an enemy champion or assist a kill, your cooldowns are reduced by 15 seconds. This means your Q, W & E have no cooldown!
Bouncing Blades: You throw a dagger that bounces to nearby enemy champions, minions or pets. Take this ability first! You can easily farm minions with this ability and harass enemy champions. In early game: don't target a champion. Target a nearby minion. Your enemy will think you just want to kill a minion and will, therefore, stay where he/she is. This makes it possible to farm minions and lower you enemy champion's health.
I max Bouncing blades last, but you should take a second point more early if no fights break out and you're still harassing your enemies and farming minions.
sinister steel sinister steel: Katarina whirls daggers in a circle. If you hit an enemy, you gain extra movement speed for 1 second. I advise you to max this ability first. It's also great for farming minions.
Shunpo: This is an amazing ability. You flash to the enemy you targeted and deal some magic damage. I already gave a hint: this can be used as flash because you can also use this on allies (you can't wound your allies of course!). This is your only escaping tool, but it's a good one.
Death Lotus: Great ultimate. You throw daggers to 3 nearby enemies. BUT, this only works when your enemies are close enough. Know you range! Advantage: you don't have to aim.

Guide Top

These masteries are pretty logical in my opinion. I've seen some people take 21 utility masteries, but I don't know why. Katarina is an AP-based champion, therefore I take all the AP masteries in offense.
With the remaining points I suggest you take some defensive masteries.

Guide Top

Greater Mark of Magic Penetration

Greater Seal of Scaling Health

Greater Glyph of Ability Power

Greater Quintessence of Ability Power
It's all about ability power. So feel free to use every ability power rune you can use.
However, this is my favorite combination.
I also like to use Seals of Armor and Glyphs of Magic resist.
But I still prefer Seals of Scaling Health and Glyphs of Ability Power.
These Marks and Quints are definitely the best for Katarina.
The magic penetration makes it possible to deal more magic damage and the Quints give you almost 15 AP at level 1 already!

Guide Top

Play Style (very useful)

In this chapter you can find tips and tricks on how to play with Katarina.

Katarina has low defense.
Therefore, it is important that you play very defensive in the beginning of the game. Patience is the biggest problem for 100% of all summoners.
Start with Bouncing Blades and try to farm minions and harass your opponent (check 'Skill Sequence' for more information about how to play with bouncing blades).
Wait until you've got all your abilities before you start killing. Don't worry: you can make more than enough kills with Katarina.
These are my killing combinations (i don't talk about ignite here) once I've got all my abilities:
1: Shunpo -> Sinister Steel -> Bouncing Blades
2 (if the enemy has (too) much health): Shunpo -> Death Lotus -> sinister steel -> Bouncing Blades
1: Definitely start with Shunpo. This way you make sure you're close enough to deal damage (and you surprise your enemy!) + after using this item you gain 15% damage reduction for 3 seconds. Because you're close you follow with Sinister Steel, which gives you extra movement speed for in case your enemy starts running.
If you're winning, your enemy will probably start running from this moment on. That's why I kept Bouncing Blades for last. Now I can still get the kill by throwing the dagger.
If he/she's still alive you start chasing (with the extra movement speed from Sinister Steel) and you wait for the cooldown of Shunpo. As soon as the cooldown is over you can start all over again.
Important: Be careful if you use your ultimate. Know your enemies; if a nearby enemy has the ability to stun... you might waste your ultimate (and get killed). That's the disadvantage of Death Lotus.

Guide Top

Team Work

Most of the time I play mid with Katarina (which is the best option), but it doesn't matter much to me. When I do play mid I wait until I got all my abilities and at least Hextech Revolver as item, before I start killing. Katarina is a great ganker. I go top and bot time after time to clean up the lane. You're the assassin so you do the killing. Katarina is a great champion to finish unfinished bussiness. Nonetheless, you should play fair. Don't steal kills. Be a gentleman.

Guide Top

This was my guide for Katarina - The Sinister Blade (currently 3150 IP).
I'm going to adjust and improve this guide a little bit more in the near future.
But this is it for now.
I hope it was useful for you.
I Tried to keep it short, because we don't like to read much, do we? ;)
If you still have questions: just ask.
If I said something completely wrong: please tell me.
Sorry if I made spelling or grammar mistakes. English isn't my mother tongue.
Thanks for reading and don't forget to rate :)

Choosing Suitable Childcare

Monmouthshire Family Information Service is imparitial and can only give you basic information on each Monmouthshire Childcare Provider.  It is up to you to choose the most suitable childcare for you and your family.  When choosing suitable childcare, make sure you ask the questions you want to know so that you can be sure that your child will get the highest quality of care when they are not with you.
Contact as many childcare providers as possible before deciding which one is best for you and your child.  All details of registered and unregistered childcare can be found here.
The following questions may be helpful in considering what you are looking for in a childcare service:
Is it welcoming?
Does the childminder/Nursery Manager make your feel welcome?
How much attention does your child receive?
Is she / he made to feel special?
Are the carers / staff helpful?
Will your child be stimulated in this environment?
What programme of activities is offered?
Are there visible signs that children are having a stimulating and enjoyable time, for example pictures on the wall, happy faces, etc?
Are activities challenging and interesting?
Is there variety and stimulation?
Are children encouraged to take part in all activities and encouraged to use all equipment?
Will my child have stories? Are there books to look at?
What facilities does it have?
Are there lots of suitable toys and play equipment that your child will enjoy playing with?
Is there access to an outdoor play area?
What about meals?
If my child has special dietary needs, can these be catered for?
Can the service provide Welsh language provision?
Is there provision for special needs?
Is it caring?
Is the facility flexible about a settling in period for my child?
Can I stay with my child to help her / him settle?
Will I have an opportunity to find out how my child is settling and progressing?
Are there any systematic ways of doing this?
Will my child be given quiet time by him / herself if needed?
Are there flexible rest periods?
What procedures are there for emergency medical treatment and first aid?
What about toilet training and what if my child has an accident?
What about the staff?
What qualifications do the carers / staff have? (For settings that are registered with Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW) there are specific requirements on the level of qualifications staff should have.)
Are carers / staff offered ongoing training?
Do carers / staff get involved in the children’s activities?
How many carers and how many children are there in the facility?
How do staff talk to the children e.g. do they show patience and consideration?
How do staff encourage good behaviour?
When considering childminders, ask to see their portfolio and references.
By law, the minimum ratio of staff to children is as follows:
Children Under 2 - 1 adult to 3 children
Children aged 2 -3  - 1 adult to 4 children
Children aged 3 - 8 - 1 adult to 8 children
Once you have found a childcare service you are happy iwth, try to have a settling in period with a few short visits for your child and yourself.   This will help you both feel more confident and at ease.

Jack Martin (Danny Kaye), an American entertainer working cabarets on the French Riviera, does an impersonation of philandering industrialist Henri Duran (Kaye, again) so convincingly that even Duran's beautiful wife (Gene Tierney) is fooled by it. When Duran's business interests compel him to be in London when he should be hosting a large soiree at his home, Martin is persuaded to impersonate Duran at the party. But matters threaten to get out of hand when Martin (as ... more

Gene Tierney has the opportunity in this film to show her talent just in one scene, when she is uncertain whether she has slept with her actual husband, the pilot, or with his American double. It is a bit salacious situation for the early fifties, don't you think?. With her usual professionalism,... more

(Welcome to Marathon Man: the monthly column where I examine a series of films and compare, contrast and analyze them until either your brain or mine explodes.)

The term "blaxploitation" conjures up some very specific images for many movie fans. Afros. Poor production values. Awesome soundtracks. Sweet clothes. Cool-as-ice black people kicking the stuffing out of evil white people who have been been up to all kinds of no good.

A genre so easily parodied, so incredibly undervalued and so under-watched by modern audiences, it is often easy to forget why "Black Exploitation" films are not only a fascinating cinematic time capsule, but a massive cultural leap forward: black actors, often working with black filmmakers (although almost always financed by rich white guys) making films for black audiences. Although it's been argued that these violent, explicit films, with their depictions of African Americans as gangsters, pimps and drug dealers, ultimately did more harm than good, it's the first instance of the African American voice making itself heard in Hollywood, paving the way for a new generation of black filmmakers. They are, for better or worse, a cultural milestone.

February is Black History Month. While it may be more politically correct to honor that by holding a marathon of Spike Lee or Sidney Poitier films, a marathon of eight blaxploitation classics sure sounds like a lot of fun.

Now, still as a family-run business and in its second generation, Gabor shoes can be found all over the world and are renowned for their comfort as well as high quality materials. While the brand is steeped in tradition, in recent years they have and taken in new technologies and styles, such as the fashion-focussed Gabor handbags, to make sure that everybody can enjoy Gabor footwear.

Crawford Road Roundabout

Crawford Road Roundabout

When the creation of a residential community created a dangerous intersection, one Pennsylvania community needed a solution to control speed and increase safety, while also being easy to install and maintain.

Services Involved

  • Roundabout Design

Crawford Road Roundabout

In Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, The Meritage Group developed a residential neighborhood (Cobblestone) adjacent to Crawford Road in Ohio Township. A 90-degree turn on Crawford was to be modified to create a 4-way or plus intersection when the additional two legs of the intersection were added as part of the residential development. Stop signs would have to be added to two or more approaches so that this configuration would operate properly.

As an alternative, ms consultants suggested that Ohio Township and The Meritage Group consider the installation of a modern roundabout for this location.

The township agreed because the design of a modern roundabout inherently controls speeds and improves safety without requiring police enforcement. Roundabouts also present a reduced maintenance cost when compared with traffic signals in that equipment maintenance and power costs are eliminated.

A Roundabout’s Success

The developer was pleased as it created an aesthetic gateway to their residential development.

The Ohio Township Volunteer Fire Department was satisfied that the roundabout design would not significantly impact response times and could, in fact, reduce the number of accident calls at that location.

Similarly, the local public works department was satisfied that the design would not impede efficient snow removal.

With a consensus reached, the project moved forward and Crawford Road now has a roundabout where a dangerous curve used to be.

Why Roundabouts?

Despite actor Chevy Chase’s comic scene in the 1985 film “European Vacation” in which his character becomes trapped in a London roundabout and drives around in circles for hours without being able to exit, modern roundabouts are, in fact, a successful and economical way to reduce traffic speeds and accidents.

Research has indicated that a roundabout can reduce crashes 40-60 percent due primarily to two factors – reducing the number of conflict points and reducing the speeds of vehicles. Traffic within the roundabout has the right of way and each approach is controlled through the use of a yield sign so becoming “trapped in the circle” is not possible.

To avoid roadway realignments, roundabouts may also be placed in areas in which sight distance is restricted. Additionally, the placement of a roundabout can mitigate issues involved with installing a lengthy turn lane in which procuring right of way or releases from property owners in which left turns into and out of their driveways would be restricted. All right of way impacts are concentrated at the intersection so the number of parcels impacted is reduced and any turns made out of adjacent parcels do not have to be restricted.

Roundabouts have been used successfully for years throughout Europe and Australia and more recently in the United States. Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, New York and Ohio are just some of the states that have successfully incorporated roundabouts into their traffic systems.

Point/Counterpoint: The Urban Rental Housing Affordability Crisis—Does the Student Housing Model Provide an Answer?

Would the student-housing model work in the market-rate industry?

Point: Look to purpose built by-the-bed housing

By Jeffrey Adler, VADLER.JEFFP and General Manager, Matrix

Affordability of rental housing has been termed a crisis in our largest metropolitan areas, especially inside the urban cores that have been revitalized by the demographic shift of young singles gravitating to 24-hour live/work/play city centers and the dramatic reduction in crime over the past 20-30 years that has enabled that shift.

The increase in land values and other obstacles that raise the cost of new supply are generally understood to result in the new supply that is feasible being targeted at the high-end portion of the market, at rents that on average are 50 percent higher than median market rents.

The underlying assumption is that people of modest means will only accept the traditionally accepted definition of an apartment home—full one-, two- or three-bedroom apartment homes.

Yet there is a parallel product design that addresses this same affordability issue directly and with quite satisfactory results—by-the-bed student housing.

Purpose built by-the-bed student housing addresses the affordability issue by reducing the space that is private (the bed/bathroom) and accepting shared domain over the kitchen and common living room.

Would people of modest income be willing to make this same trade-off?

Admittedly, the social challenges of applying this model to adults are not trivial, and for families with children even more so… But what are the viable alternatives? Is there no shortage of social service organizations, both public and private, perfectly capable of managing the relationship issues?

If we open our eyes and entertain the opportunity, we may find that the answers to affordability are already in the arsenal of the vibrant, creative, and competitive multifamily housing industry.

Counterpoint: By-the-bed restricts usage

Jack KernBy Jack Kern, Research Editor

This is fundamentally the issue of micro-units and shared congregate housing. Socially the distinction and stigma attached to living as an adult in less than a traditional unit is what has kept this from being readily adopted.

Further, lenders and institutional investors do not want these units because the exit is restricted to a like-kind use. If the ultimate trade is a value-add rental or a condo conversation, these units would scarcely work. Student housing-style residences by-the-bed are what was popular with a similar design to boarding houses in the 1950s, and sadly the limitations they exhibited have never been improved upon.

I think your assessment has similar issues of land and construction costs that wouldn’t drastically reduce the cost to deliver a bed. The only sensible alternative is adaptive re-utilization of public spaces where land cost is controlled by the municipality.

We welcome feedback from our readers—what is your take on the subject?

Two New Affordable Housing Projects Open in L.A. County

Palo Verde Terrace in Palmdale and The Gardens on Garfield in Glendale, two affordable housing projects

The Gardens on Garfield

By Anuradha Kher, Online News Editor

Los Angeles–Palo Verde Terrace in Palmdale and The Gardens on Garfield in Glendale, two affordable housing projects designed by Withee Malcolm Architects’ are ready to open.

Palo Verde Terrace, a project of Amcal Multi-Housing Inc., is a 78-unit senior affordable community that is part of the City of Palmdale’s Civic Center Master Plan aimed at revitalizing the downtown core with a senior center and expanded open space.

Palo Verde Terrace

“From site planning to details, designing affordable communities is always about creating the highest levels of livability and quality within constraints,” says Dan Withee, Withee Malcolm Architects’ principal. “We work shoulder-to-shoulder with the developer and the community to make these projects happen — from helping to secure financing to delivering an attractive and efficient residence that lives comfortably in the neighborhood and contributes to its vitality.”

Darin Hansen, vice president of Forward Planning and Entitlements for Amcal, says, “Seniors are underserved in affordable housing, and Palmdale is committed to changing that. With Palo Verde we are providing them with amenities that meet the standards of market rate housing in a distinctive building with a landscaped courtyard  — you wouldn’t know it was affordable.”

“Designed in a contemporary southwestern style, the project is ‘at home’ in the desert context and climate of this fast growing city at the edge of the Mojave,” notes project designer Ricky de la Rosa. The project is also designed to meet LEED Silver Standards, incorporating features that exceed California’s Energy Efficient Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings by 15 percent.

Developed by Thomas Safran Associates, the Gardens on Garfield is a 30-unit tax credit property for families located in the City of Glendale. Designed to respond to the social needs of the community of residents, the Craftsman-style building provides a landscaped courtyard with views to and from the apartments, a children’s play area, and a well-appointed community room.

Located on a busy thoroughfare in a transitioning district, the building represents an investment in the neighborhood. “We are committed to creating a positive environment, considering the critical aspects including location, building design, tenants, and management,” says Andrew D. Gross, principal at Thomas Safran Associates.  “Withee Malcolm understood the importance of the context for this project, helping to convince the city council and redevelopment agency of it value with the Arts and Crafts look of the project.” Scaled and detailed to reinforce a residential sensibility, the small property, with one, two and three bedrooms apartments, has a big impact on the surrounding community.

As Darin Hansen observes, “Cities don’t want ‘boxes’ for affordable housing and they need a team that shares their vision of community.” Dan Withee agrees, “Designing affordable housing is an exceptional opportunity to make a difference. The best projects are catalysts for change.”

How to encourage potty training....

(1 Post)
TootsieBootsie Wed 15-Mar-17 11:11:49

My DD is 2.5 and I'm just wandering if anyone has gently encouraged potty training with their LOs?
Just had a baby so left it as I know the regress with babies about etc but was hoping by being the "big girl/sister " / babies wear nappies, it would spur it on.
For purely selfish reasons I'd like to get it done. She knows when she needs to go to the toilet, just stubbornly refuses to use potty or toilet. She hides when she needs to poo!
I'm not pushing it as I don't want it to go the other way and make it traumatic.
I've got a sticker chart and presents for using potty but she's not bothered!
Should I just leave it until she decides? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Playing outside.

HeySoulSister Sat 07-Sep-13 13:54:48

I think a phonecall to social services would be justified here

if he is four,then in the absence of SN he should be speaking by now,so he may actually be younger

georgie7 Sat 07-Sep-13 13:44:36

Never posted before. So sorry if its in the wrong area. Me and my partner are worried about a boy in our housing estate who seems no older than four (he can hardly talk) being allowed to play outside on his own. He is out till as late as 7 and a few times we have heard her screaming and running round the houses looking for him. There are lots of roads and a very busy roads that runs along the side of the estate. He has no road sense and I am forever seeing him running across without looking. My mother even caught him going out to main road in his Pj's at gone 8 at night, she had to walk him bak to his house were she was totally unaware and didn't seem to care. He hangs of cars wing mirrors, climbs over them and has even removed the petrol cap of our car. She has come and said sorry to my partner saying she just can't control him. I am worried about the harm he could come to but no idea what to do as we don't really know the mum. I know my little boy will have to be a lot older before he plays out alone.

US city repeals city law against domestic violence to save money

(17 Posts)
AnnieLobeseder Thu 13-Oct-11 08:16:53

If such backwards steps are being taken in the supposed world leading nation, what chance do women in the developing world have? Horrifying.

AnnieLobeseder Thu 13-Oct-11 08:17:54

How can it possibly not be against the law to batter another human being?

Unless of course, we take the step of logic that women are not in fact human beings.

LeBOF Thu 13-Oct-11 08:19:14

What can we do? There must be some way to organise and protest this.

AnnieLobeseder Thu 13-Oct-11 08:21:30

Going by the picture it looks like locals are already protesting. I hope their voices are heard.

theothersparticus Thu 13-Oct-11 08:55:03

The really stupid thing is the way the law was repealled, from

"When the county's budget was slashed by 10%, Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor's solution was to stop prosecuting misdemeanors in Topeka's city limits. He hoped to force the city to pick up the cost of the cases, and noted, "of greatest concern are domestic violence cases." It seems Taylor thought the city might ignore minor drug or assault cases, but wouldn't simply refuse to deal with something as serious as domestic abuse. Yet, last night city officials called his bluff and repealed its law against domestic violence.
City officials told the Associated Press that the move puts them in a better position to negotiate, and forces Taylor to prosecute the cases since they're still crimes under state law. They added that this actually helps victims, because the county courts are better funded and can offer them better services. Unfortunately, that won't make much of a difference for the 18 people whose abusers were released from jail in the past few days. The same goes for those involved in the 35 incidents of domestic battery and assault reported since September, which aren't being pursued. As Rita Smith, executive director of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, said, "It's really outrageous that they're playing with family safety to see who blinks first. People could die while they're waiting to straighten this out."

I can't belive they would play political games with peoples lives, but then again, that's typical male entitlement.

Peachy Thu 13-Oct-11 08:58:43

Oh good God above, that is horrific.

theothersparticus Thu 13-Oct-11 09:08:07

this is the link I've been looking for all morning.

"But if Topeka thinks the costs of domestic abuse will go away if it stops prosecuting, it is sure to be wrong. In the most comprehensive study to date on the costs of domestic violence to the U.S. economy, the Centers for Disease Control found in 2003 that the total cost each year is more than $8.3 billion."

Domestic violence costs even more in terms of the trauma to the victims and children that witness the abuse, who then may go on to abuse or require years of counselling.

Smellslikecatpee Thu 13-Oct-11 13:56:45

I mean really I have nothing helpful to add except WTF

MsAnnTeak Thu 13-Oct-11 14:04:44

Found one of the comments left on the original article interesting :-

I live in Topeka, so I'll explain (the article is horribly misleading). There was state law and city ordinance that criminalized domestic violence. If it's tried by the DA under state law, the county pays the costs. If tried by the city under city ordinance, the city pays the fines. The county said they were turning cases over to the city. The city took away the city ordinance, so they have to be tried by the county again. No one's charges were dropped - that's totally false. The DA will be trying them. This was just political wrangling, not "Lookie, they's sayin it's ok ta beat yer woman." Everyone calm down - no one is getting away with domestic violence - geez...

theothersparticus Thu 13-Oct-11 14:07:50

and breathe

So they will proscute DV once again, but if this had gone unnoticed by worldwide media would they really had bothered?

I get the feeling that DV isn't high on their priorities, it's listed as a misdemeanor, and while I'm no expert on the American legal system, that doesn't sound all that harsh to me.

MsAnnTeak Thu 13-Oct-11 15:14:33

Having never given abcnews much credit on it's reporting I decided to go with the link given in this comment.

"The cases are moving between the county and city to determine who will prosecute (the DA will, as of now.) No one will "get off" because of this; they will be prosecuted by one or the other. As a citizen of the city and county, I can tell you what will happen. Chad Taylor (the DA) will prosecute the same as he always did, and if needed, the county commission will increase funding. Right now Taylor says he's going to lay off prosecutors, etc, but he's just strong-arming for more budget (which he'll get I'm sure). If you want to read the whole story, look up the Topeka newspaper" -

It does put a slightly different slant on the story.

skrumle Thu 13-Oct-11 16:02:43

i didn't think gave a different slant on the story at all - this was a political game of chicken where women's safety was put at risk and 21 offenders were released because charges weren't brought.

and i'm not really understanding why you are quoting comments on news stories, it's a bit like me saying "here's what my cousin thinks:..."

MsAnnTeak Thu 13-Oct-11 16:26:19

Taylor said.

"We're queuing up all the cases piling up at the city attorney's office since Sept. 8," Taylor said. "Now we're in the position, with the opt-out or the decriminalization of domestic battery cases by the city council, to have those cases come here."

It reads to me the cases will be tried.

As for reading comments, come on, it's like saying why read anything after the intial post on a mumsnet topic as their input is worthless ?

skrumle Thu 13-Oct-11 16:46:36

i didn't say you shouldn't read the comments - i just find the extensive quoting of them odd, as though you have judged them more factually accurate than a news article.

and the cases may well be tried but 21 women had their lives put at risk when those men were released. the comment in the cjonline story about 1 of the men already being re-arrested suggested to me that he had already re-offended rather than him being re-arrested for the initial assault...

They put a different slant on the article, open it up to further thought and possibilities ?

Reading some of the posts it looked as if it was assumed Topek weren't going to prosecute those who were arrested for domestic violence. Upon further reading it wasn't true and seems to be they'll be tried under a law with a harsher sentence.

"Reading some of the posts"

you mean the posts made prior to the public change in stance by the county DA?

also - quoting other people's comments without any comment of your own makes it seem that you agree with those comments and i find the first one in particular callous and patronising. it also totally disagrees with the detail given in the article by the newspaper linked to in the second quote: "no one's charges were dropped" is not the way it reads in any of the articles i've seen.

WTF this is truly shocking.
Violence is a crime. It doesn't make it any "better" if you give it a name like domestic violence. A victim of violence has still been the victim of a crime regardless of where the violence took place.

You can surely not make domestic violence a non-crime without saying that all forms of common assault or bodily harm are therefore legal? Unless you believe that women deserve to be assaulted in their own homes?

Rhin-O-Tuff HD4101 EZ Coil Book Former Review

Color coil binding – also known as spiral binding – is a very popular bookbinding method that’s also easy to do for the most part. Putting together a small document with a color coil isn’t hard but putting together larger documents can be really tough without the right equipment. That’s why Rhin-O-Tuff developed the HD4101 EZ Coil Book Former. This device can help you insert those large coils into your thick documents. Here’s a quick look at this machine’s strengths and weaknesses:

  • The HD4101 is a very handy device to have around if you regularly bind both short and long documents. This book former is capable of working with color coils that are 6 to 50 millimeters wide.
  • This device helps you shape the spines of your documents to prepare them for coil insertion. It curves the spine so your bookbinding project will be much easier.
  • The HD4101 works with all pitches and can also work with tabs. No other special equipment is required which is convenient.
  • You can use this device either horizontally or vertically. Just pick the orientation that’s right for you. This is very helpful when you’re binding documents of different sizes (i.e. letter-size, legal-size, etc.). The HD4101 can handle binding edges ranging from 5.5” to 14” long so it’s pretty versatile.
  • If you don’t have a lot of room in your workspace, this book former is a good choice. It has reasonably compact dimensions of 5” (height) x 16” (width) x 13” (depth) so making space for it shouldn’t be too difficult. The device is lightweight as well since it only weighs 7 pounds.
  • Rhin-O-Tuff makes some of the best, most durable modular binding equipment on the market. The HD4101 is well-designed and is very solidly built. You’ll be able to get a lot of use out of this device over the years.

  • The HD4101 only shapes your documents. It won’t insert the coils into them. You’ll need separate equipment for that. (It’s compatible with other Rhin-O-Tuff color coil binding equipment.) Or, if you prefer, you can insert the coils manually.
  • If you want an electric book former, you’ll be disappointed with this device. It needs to be operated by hand.
  • This machine’s limited warranty only lasts for a year. Luckily, the durable construction more than makes up for it.

Overall, the Rhin-O-Tuff HD4101 EZ Coil Book Former is a pretty helpful device and it’s a great thing to have if you do a lot of color coil binding. It really makes binding long documents easier and it can handle many different paper sizes. It’s great that this machine can work with coils that are up to 50 millimeters wide and that you can work with it either horizontally or vertically. This device is also really well-constructed so you can feel like you’re getting your money’s worth out of it. Just keep in mind that you will need a binding punch and coil inserter to complete the bookbinding process. (It works well with other Rhin-O-Tuff equipment.) Take a look at the HD4101 EZ Coil Book Former if color coil binding is your thing.

Rock Dog

2017 Family/Comedy Rated PG

Rock Dog

In Theaters February 24, 2017
On 4K UHD Not Available
On Blu-ray May 23, 2017
On DVD May 23, 2017

For the Tibetan Mastiffs living on Snow Mountain, a dog’s life has a simple riff: Guard a peaceful village of wool-making sheep from the thuggish wolf Linnux (Lewis Black) and his rabid pack. To avoid distractions, Mastiff leader Khampa (J.K. Simmons) forbids all music from the mountain. But when Khampa’s son Bodi (Luke Wilson) discovers a radio dropped by a passing airplane, it takes just a few guitar licks for his fate to be sealed: Bodi wants to be a rock ‘n’ roll star. Yet that means defying his father’s wishes, heading to the city, and locating the legendary – and reclusive – musician Angus Scattergood (Eddie Izzard), who needs to write a new song and fast.

If Bodi can put a band together, help Angus with his song, and defeat the wolves’ plot to take Snow Mountain, his life will be in tune. Bodi will become what he’s always dreamed of being: More than a dog … more than a Rock God… he’ll be a ROCK DOG!

Rated PG for action and language.

Turner in his Time

Turner in his Time

Andrew Wilton was the first Curator of the Clore Gallery for the Turner Collection at the Tate, London, where he is continuing to catalogue the Turner Bequest. He is the author of many works on the artist, including the standard catalogue of the watercolours.

The originality of Turner’s technique alone puts him high in the canon of great artists, but his subject-matter gains additional interest with an understanding of his enormous appetite for travel. In this book, over 150 of his works of every type are lavishly displayed and superbly reproduced.

For over forty years, from the 1790s to his old age in the 1840s, he made regular tours in Britain and on the Continent, chiefly in France, Switzerland, Germany and Italy, with repeated visits to Venice in his later years.

Using Turner’s own writings, letters, notes and verse; recorded impressions by his contemporaries; and reviews of his exhibited works, Andrew Wilton builds up a picture of a man of many secrets.

A comprehensive chronology, illustrated with portraits of Turner and his associates and views of places with which he was connected, sets out his travels, exhibitions and projects. Light is shed on the private man by a list of the books in his library and even an inventory of the contents of his London house.

Here is a book of the widest appeal, on an artist who, two centuries after he came to prominence, is finding new converts wherever his work is shown.

Vitamin K

EWG Rating
Skincare Ingredient Safety Ranking
Scientific Name: {Phylloquinone}
Common Name: {Vitamin K}

Vitamin K helps strengthen mature skin. It is also one of the best treatments for women who have discolorations under the eyes. It is a powerful antioxidant that improves your skin's health. Plus it works deep in the layers of skin to rebuild elastin and thin skin, often the source of discoloration. Thus, the skin will appear healthier, brighter, and even younger.

Vitamin K’s primary use is for bruises and wounds in the skin. On the face, most typically take the form of under-eye darkness. The most common belief about dark under-eye circles is that they are caused by not getting enough sleep. While this may contribute to dark circles, discoloration is more likely to be caused by stress and by using un-friendly products. The underlying cause of these dark circles is broken capillaries, which deposit particles of blood in the hollow space beneath the eye. Unlike a bruise, where some impact breaks the blood vessel and leak into the skin, broken capillaries deposit particles under the eye.

vitamin k rich foodsVitamin K can help to reduce the darkness of under-eye circles. It works by increasing blood flow to the area. This will collect and carry away any of these deposited particles that cause the darkness. It can also help improve broken capillaries that have been collecting these particles. It may seem a little counter-intuitive to bring more blood to an area that is leaking blood. The continually broken and leaking capillaries are a sign that the area does not have the resources it needs to function properly. The influx of blood brings the nutrients and structures that the skin needs to be healthy. Once the particles have been carried away, and the capillaries are healthy, the under-eye area will appear much brighter and natural looking.

This ingredient’s other primary purpose is to increase elastin in the under-layers of skin. As we age, this component of our skin begins to break down. It is the major underlying cause of hollowness and wrinkles. As cells are no longer able to retain moisture, the face loses its plump appearance. It has a hard time bouncing back into place. An application of Vitamin K helps to restart the skin’s elastin production, which creates the ability for the skin to grow plumper, firmer layers. Firmness improves the appearance of fine lines.

Finally, Vitamin K can be used to help improve thin skin and fade discolorations. It is one of the most effective anti-aging ingredients on the market. It's easy to add in foods that are vitamin-rich such as eggs, snow peas, almonds and potatoes to your diet.

Big displays of nothing

So, um. How ‘bout that weather? Sorry, guys, but I got nothing. My snarky news well runneth dry. Instead I’ve decided to regale you all with excerpts of Michael Ondaatje’s The English Patient.

Hold on. The mail’s here. Bill, bill, cease-and-desist order, bill, a Pottery Barn catalogue. Wait, what’s this?

“Shredder, you remember the sound of silence right?” someone wrote. “It’s the sound your girlfriend/boyfriend makes when you say, ‘Was it as good for you as it was for me?’”

HA! That’s what I’ve been waiting for. Glorious, fresh inky fodder for commentary. This here’s a letter from the Cal Poly students who organized the Facebook protest of SLO City’s unruly ordinance ban from the other week. For all the students who were too baked to remember to show up: The protest didn’t accomplish anything.

“Only the most interesting people are singled out as hapless victims by the Shredder,” the letter starts off. “And so, in spite of ourselves, we are slightly flattered to have been recently slandered at his/her hands.”

Hey! I take offense. What I write is in print, so that would make it libel. Get your facts straight kids. Let’s see what their gripe is.

“In fact, we want to thank you, Shredder, for proving a point that we and our 1,800 friends could never have collectively nailed,” the letter goes on. “It would seem that the ordinance proposed for our college town was created out of a belief that college students in groups are not to be trusted.”

Here’s what I wrote to prompt the letter.

“Well guys, your brand of milquetoast demonstrations accomplished nothing. Enjoy the $700 fines.”

Some history: The Facebook group had close to 2,000 people ready to converge in front of City Hall in protest of an ordinance essentially designed to put the hammer down on “unruly” groups of more than 20. Then the people who started the protest told people to not protest just a few days before the meeting. They still got a good showing at the meeting, but it fell far short of a glistening demonstration of populist outrage against a City Council that’s so bored they seem to be flinging darts at a board full of unnecessary ordinances and bans. What’s next? Increasing fines on St. Patrick’s Day, Mardi Gras, and Halloween? Wait, they did that, too? Son of a bitch! Watch your back on Thanksgiving. (I don’t know about your family, but in the Shredder home, Grandma always gets hammered and belligerent on turkey day.)

It would’ve been nice to see a big, showy protest at the meeting, even if it didn’t gain any more ground than the puny polite protest they had. A legitimate protest doesn’t entail violence or flipping over police cars and torching buildings. People protest all the time, though it may not accomplish anything on the spot. But something more than that lame response would’ve shown you cared. So I’m not mad nothing happened and the City Council continued its wave of what-can-we-get-away-with-next policymaking—I’m just disappointed. Plus, the letter was pretty good. So I might be mad, if I weren’t so damn proud.

Arnoldonado lives!

Maybe everyone should take some advice from the Arnold Schwarzenegger-Abel Maldonado playbook. They huffed and they puffed and got Maldonado into a useless office that will sunset when Schwarzenegger’s term is up at the end of the year. Maldonado’s a quacking lame duck, too (don’t feed him because of that other ordinance) so this changing of the suits is little more than opening his Senate seat to an early run and a chance for Republicans to stuff the seat again—probably with Sam Blakeslee—and avoid a two-thirds Democratic majority that would allow them to pass tax increases no matter how much outrage there is from the super minority Republicans.

No matter how worthless the lieutenant governorship seat is, it hasn’t stopped Assembly candidate Katcho—it’s katching on—Achadjian from touting his new endorsement from Lt. Gov. Maldonado instead of plain old Sen. Maldonado. Literally the day after Maldonado got the official OK, Achadjian sent out a press release to pat himself on the back and toot his own horn over the endorsement. As lieutenant governor, endorsements are about the only thing Maldonado gets to do outside of the occasional State Lands Commission hearing and a whole lot of crafting gigantic rubber-band balls.

Maybe he can join axed Arroyo Grande City Councilman Ed Arnold who finally stepped down because he “has now become a distraction to the city and that’s not beneficial for anyone.” Apparently Arnold didn’t think the first charges—that he assaulted a former housemate and alleged ex-lover—were enough of a distraction because he didn’t step down then. And the rest of the city council didn’t think so either because they waited until the felony charges escalated to child porn before they considered asking him to step down. I guess it wasn’t a distraction at first. Talk about fool me once.
