Owners make retirement garden bloom

Owners make retirement garden bloom

Green-fingered John and Shirley Brown from Churchill Retirement Living’s Ash Lodge have been busy making their garden bloom, thanks to funding from the Lodge, as well as kind donations from their fellow neighbours at the retirement development.

John and Shirley, who have lived at Ash Lodge for 10 months, began working on the landscaped gardens at the development during the summer months as a hobby – but have quickly impressed the Lodge Manager and fellow Owners, who have now donated funds to spruce up the front, too.

Shirley Brown said:

Our previous home had a fantastic large garden, but it was becoming unmanageable for John and I – which was part of the reason why we chose to move to Ash Lodge. John spent a lot of time in our old garden, and I worried what he would do to fill his time when we moved. I needn’t have worried though, as the garden project at the Lodge has proven to be a real hobby for us. It started when we asked the Lodge Manager, David, whether he would mind if we added a little colour to the gardens and, over time, we added some shrubs and bushes - and it’s really gone from there.

Since starting work on the gardens, a number of other Owners at Ash Lodge have also got involved – with some offering their help, and others donating plants or funds to continue bringing the garden to life.

Shirley added: “The rear gardens have really come to life over the last few months, and there is lots of colour out there even now. David approached us a few weeks ago to see whether we’d consider tackling the front gardens, which we were only too happy to do. So far we’ve added some new shrubs and rose bushes, which have instantly invigorated the area. We’re planning on adding some bulbs next, so come next Spring it should be looking really lovely.”

Another addition to the gardens is a memorial fountain, which was installed in memory of an Owner at Ash Lodge who recently passed away.

Shirley said: “The memorial fountain is looking really lovely, and we – together with some of the other Owners – have planted some colourful flowers around it, so it really does fit beautifully into the garden. We’re already looking forward to seeing what the garden looks like next year.”

David Candy, Lodge Manager at Ash Lodge, said:

John and Shirley have put so much effort into the garden at Ash Lodge, and it’s certainly paid off – the other Owners love to spend time in the gardens, and it’s a really pleasant place to while away a few hours. We can’t wait to see what the front looks like when John and Shirley have finished with it!

Ash Lodge comprises 58 private, self-contained apartments that are specially designed for the over 60s with features such as a video-entry system, lift to all floors, a 24 hour care and support system and a Lodge Manager, employed by Millstream Management Services.

The apartments at Ash Lodge boast spacious rooms throughout and are an ideal combination of design and functionality. The fully fitted, stylish kitchens include a built-in fridge and freezer, hob and an oven, which is located at an easy-reach height. All of the properties also benefit from illuminated light switches for added convenience.

With less to worry about, Owners have more time to do the things they enjoy, including taking advantage of the host of other benefits on offer such as having family or friends to stay in the development’s well-appointed Guest Suite, enjoying a chat with neighbours in the beautiful gardens, or attending one of the many events, in the Owners’ Lounge.

For further information, please contact Ash Lodge by calling 01932 283 839 or by visiting the show complex, open Tuesday to Saturday, from 10.00am to 5.00pm. Alternatively, please click here.

Secret Origin is the story behind the creation of one of the world’s finest comic book companies. Of course, it is a story all about secret identities, so it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to discover the filmmakers are trying to keep us from discovering a few things.
6 / 10 stars
Rating: movie reviewed rating
Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics is an exhaustive documentary on how the multimedia giant came to exist. It’s a series of new interviews with comic creators like Mark Waid, Gerard Jones, Dwayne McDuffie, Neil Gaiman, Louise Simonson, Denny O’Neill, Marv Wolfman, Mike Carlin, Neal Adams, Jim Lee, and more. There’s also tons of archive footage and interviews that cover seven decades of comic books, including some wonderful footage with legends like Julius Schwartz, Joe Kubert, Frank Miller, and Alan Moore. It should go without saying that there’s tons of comic book art, much of it being panned and scanned in that wonderful way the History Channel uses to make oil paintings dynamic.

On one level, this is a fantastic and very informative piece of work. There’s lots of historical stories about how DC Comics rose from a place for the “spicy pulps” to be one of two giants of the superhero industry today. We hear the story of Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster and how they created the character of the last son of a doomed planet -- a character who was rejected by dozens of publishers before finding a home at DC Comics. There’s also the business side of the creation of characters like Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Plastic Man, and so many more. It touches on why the superheroes stayed somewhat distant from World War II, despite the heavy involvement of DC on so many levels, and the repercussions the war had on the industry for the next two decades. It takes us all the way into modern-age comics with The Dark Knight Returns, Watchmen, Kingdom Come, and the Vertigo line.

The documentary also features a huge amount of behind-the-scenes stories. I never knew that Jerry Siegel had lost his father in a robbery, nor the implications of how this shaped his greatest creation. Archive footage has Bob Kane explaining how he created “The Bat-Man” over a weekend to mirror the success of Superman -- mostly because he wanted to be making more money -- while Jones explains how Kane recreated himself into a more glamorous identity once he was successful. Did anyone know the Superman radio show thwarted the Klu Klux Klan for months? That Len Wein started writing The Flash because he happened to be standing in the DC office one day when Schwartz was on the warpath? Or that, years later, when Wein-the-editor first called Alan Moore to offer him Swamp Thing, Moore hung up thinking it was a practical joke?

There's a multi-media angle, too, of course. Starting with the Superman radio shows and Max Fleischer cartoons, the film covers all the various ways DC characters have been interpreted over the years. There are glimpses of tons of cartoons, Adam West as Batman, Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman, and of course Christopher Reeve as Superman.

There are a couple of ugly trends in documentaries lately. One is the unskilled film that’s less documentary and more reality television. The other is the puff piece, and that’s what’s going on here. It’s not like this film says nasty things about the competition or talks about "what we’ve done vs. what they’ve done." Actually, if I were to show this movie to my folks, they’d come to the pretty logical conclusion that DC is the only company that’s printed comic books since some time in the late sixties.

Yep, that’s right. No one else exists, and it’s been pretty smooth sailing for the past several decades, all things considered. You’d never guess they’ve been running neck-and-neck with (sometimes even teaming up with) a certain other company that’s the home of marvels like web-slingers, thunder gods, and star-spangled WWII veterans. There’s no mention at all of the 30-odd-year lawsuit between DC and the families of Siegel and Schuster over the rights to Superman and certain spin-off characters. Heck, these days we’re all used to groups trying to rewrite history (one bozo tried to tell me last month that Hitler was actually very liberal and didn’t lean to the political right at all), but it still takes some serious cajones to cherry-pick interviews with Alan Moore and leave the impression that his time with DC was something he looks back on with satisfaction and contentment. And yeah, I’m fully aware of the irony of falling back on a Hitler analogy to show how extremely they’ve distorted this view of Mr. Moore, everyone’s favorite anarchist.

I wasn’t expecting any of these comics legends to admit to killing hookers or clubbing baby seals or anything like that. This film is so antiseptic squeaky-clean, though, that it just rings fake. It’s tough to call something a documentary when it completely ignores the competition, a decades-old legal battle, and an angry spat over creator rights that’s spilled into the mainstream on two major motion pictures now.

Really, this is just a few small steps above being a press kit, and not that far from being a sampler for Warner Brothers’ DVD back catalog of cartoons and movies. If you’re a big comics fan, it’s worth watching for the history, skewed as it is, but it’s tough to recommend buying it.
2 / 10 stars
Rating: movie reviewed rating
Well it’s definitely a DVD. I checked both sides. All things considered, I expected this disc to be loaded with previews for everything from the Super Friends cartoon to the V for Vendetta movie. Alas, there’s nothing but some optional subtitles. Ah, well. Superman can’t be there to save the day every time.

Subscribe To Jon Stewart Fans Really Want Him To Moderate A Presidential Debate Updates
Less than two weeks ago, Jon Stewart wrapped up his 16-year run on The Daily Show. And from the looks of it, his fans are still not quite ready to let go. With the 2016 presidential race in its early stages, a group of Jon Stewart fans decided to launch a campaign to petition that the former Daily Show host should moderate a presidential debate, and it has already gained over 150,000 signatures.

The petition was created on the popular website, and it goes on to explain why Jon Stewart is “more than qualified” to take on moderating a presidential debate. The fan who created the petition, Mariel Waters goes on to note that Stewart has interviewed 15 heads of state, 32 members of the U.S. Senate, 22 members of the Cabinet, 7 member of the House of Representatives and a slew of other political leaders from the U.S. and abroad. Waters states:
Over the last 16 years, Jon Stewart has played an influential and iconic role in covering US politics and media. We believe he should continue that tradition as a moderator at one of the 2016 Presidential Debates.

And not only does Stewart’s work on The Daily Show and as the “most trusted person in (satirical) news” shine him as an appropriate moderator, but he also has covered on a number of presidential campaigns. That’s probably the biggest reason fans want him back. It doesn’t seem right to hold a presidential campaign without getting the input of Stewart one way or another.

There are a few good arguing points as to why Jon Stewart is deserving of the position, and the creator of the petition is hopeful that the signatures can make a difference. Waters notes that in 2012 there was a petition that asked the Commission on Presidential Debates to select a female moderator, and with over 180,000 signatures it won. Currently there are over 180,000 signatures for Jon Stewart’s involvement in the debate, with a goal of 200,000. The petition will easily match the goal.

The question is whether or not Stewart wants the gig. No word from the comedian on his thoughts on the petition. He’d most likely be honored at the thought, but in stepping away from The Daily Show, he may be wanting to take a break from the heavy politics. Throwing him right in the middle to moderate a debate is exactly something he may have been excited to leave behind. We can only imagine the stress that goes along with it. But, Stewart always had a knack for asking the hard questions, and pulling out the answers. It would be a breath of fresh air to see him take on a Presidential Debate.

The folks at Facebook just might be wishing today that CEO Mark Zuckerberg just hadn't... well, said anything about privacy yesterday at the Wall Street Journal's All Things Digital conference. Facebook users and critics seemed to be fairly appeased last week after the popular social networking firm released new, simplified privacy controls. After a Q&A onstage at the conference yesterday, however, Zuckerberg appears to have stirred up the privacy pot once again.

According to multiple reports from bloggers, journalists and Twitterers, Facebook's CEO sidestepped questions about facebook privacy rather than giving the audience real, thoughtful answers. "My God, Zuckerberg is literally dissolving in a lake of his own sweat," live-blogged John Paczkowski on the All Things Digital Web site. "He is visibly flushed, and you can see the beads of sweat rolling down his face. Could this be his Nixon moment?"

Dan Olds, an analyst with The Gabriel Consulting Group, said Zuckerberg performance could prove damaging to Facebook.

"Zuckerberg doesn't seem to be helping Facebook with his latest statements concerning privacy," added Olds. "While some of the recent Facebook changes have helped users find and better control their data, Facebook's default settings tend to give users less, rather than more, privacy. When asked about this, he didn't directly address the policy. I took his answer to mean that he thinks the Facebook model works best when people share more. While this is certainly true for Facebook, it ain't necessarily the case for users who want to keep their private data, well, private."

Facebook users were quick to vent their frustrations about Zuckerberg's comments on Twitter.

"OK, I'm not sure what button I hit on Facebook's privacy settings, but I just found Mark Zuckerberg in my home going through my photo albums," wrote timcarvell. And Jason tweeted: "Zuckerberg had a Nixon moment tonight. People at conference are talking about the most insane meltdown ever."

Ezra Gottheil, an analyst with Technology Business Research, said he's surprised that Zuckerberg went to the conference apparently unprepared for predictably tough questions about privacy.

"The issue is one of trust," said Gottheil. "If users' concerns are heightened, and they don't trust that the company understands their concerns, that increases their worries. I think [Zuckerberg] could have handled it better, but he was in a difficult position. First, his company has not done well in the past. Second, he has an embarrassing back story. And third, there's a real trade-off between protecting and monetizing people's information."

Gottheil also said Zuckerberg's presentation came off as though the company is simply waiting for this privacy brouhaha to pass.

"I don't think they've quite come to terms with the need for strong privacy defaults and opt-outs," added Gottheil. "They're hoping this kerfuffle will pass, and they can continue their old pattern of passively encouraging users to keep their privacy settings weak."

Facebook has been knocked about recently because of user concerns that the social networking firm is playing fast and loose with user information. Criticism mounted significantly last month after Facebook unveiled a bevy of tools that allow user information to be shared with other websites.

Implementing True Measurement: An Earned Media Management Strategy Learn More

5 Best Practices for Publishing Content to LinkedIn

When you’re planning your content strategy in 2016, one tactic that most likely will come up is to publish long form content to LinkedIn. The numbers supporting this are increasingly compelling:

  • Users posted about 130,000 posts per week on LinkedIn in 2015
  • More than any other social network, most people believe there is an opportunity to establish professional thought leadership on LinkedIn through content
  • LinkedIn’s user demographics are uniquely positioned for targeted content distribution (discussed a little later)

Of course, relative to WordPress (3.6 million posts per week) and other content platforms LinkedIn is still pretty small. So, in this post I want to explore five best practices that can help communication professionals and content marketers optimize their content for LinkedIn.

1. Be aware of LinkedIn’s unique demographics

LinkedIn Demographics

I just finished Mark Roberge’s great book, “The Sales Acceleration Formula.” In it, he describes how an email address is far more valuable to him then a LinkedIn InMail. Anybody who has tried to use InMail for lead generation probably understands Roberge’s sentiment.

Just because people are on LinkedIn does not necessarily mean they are using LinkedIn – and this is more true for this social network than for most others.

Not only is LinkedIn unique in its gender distribution, but also in its income demographics (mostly college graduates) and its age demographics (mostly 30+).

So LinkedIn may be a fantastic content platform based upon targeting or to demonstrate thought leadership within a professional group, but you also have the challenge to determine if the people that you think are there are really there.

2. Use proper blog structure

Cision - How to Publish a Great LinkedIn Publisher Post

In a fantastic post for, Cyrus Shepard describes the benefits of blog structure (i.e. using bullet points, numbering, block quotes, hold tax, italicized text, etc.) as a strategy for generating back links.

At this point, you may be wondering what back links have to do with publishing your content to LinkedIn. It’s simple: this strategy builds more back links because it makes your content more interesting (i.e. makes more people to want to read it.)

LinkedIn has a smaller complement of markup tools than WordPress or other blogging platforms, but the idea remains the same:Cision - How to Publish a Great LinkedIn Publisher Post2

  • Use sub-heads (h1, h2) to create a hierarchy of your content
  • Use bold and italicized text emphasize points within your content
  • Use web links to cite sources for your content
  • Use images (most importantly a featured image) to draw interest to your content

Of course these are general content guidelines that you might hear about any blogging platform, but it’s important to understand that the form and structure that you use in a general content post is equally as important to generate interest on LinkedIn.

3. Write for mobile consumption

Originally, this mobile post was supposed to be about new LinkedIn features for 2016. The problem with this is that there are very few new features on LinkedIn for 2016. But what LinkedIn is investing in for the future is mobile.

In December they significantly improved their mobile apps, presumably with the intention that users will consume more content on their mobile devices. It makes sense then that writers should create content specifically for mobile. Two areas that content creators can pay special attention to are headlines and embedded media.

Writing compelling headlines is another general blogging best practice, but becomes especially important for mobile devices where the headline may be the only input that a reader uses to determine whether to read a piece of content or not.

Embedded media

LinkedIn allows you to embed rich media (YouTube videos, Soundcloud files, embedded tweets, etc.) into their long form content. However, one study observed a decrease in overall content consumption for posts with rich media included. So what gives?

Especially on mobile, posts with embedded media may look busy or disproportionate. So make some intuitive sense that you should be judicious with the amount of embedded content that you put into a LinkedIn post.

Of course this comes with the caveat (discussed later) that a lot of the statistics that you read about LinkedIn long form content are wrong. So, experimentation is often times the best way to determine whether a specific tactic will work or not.

4. If you want to republish content, publish to LinkedIn first

A lot of advice about publishing long form content to LinkedIn suggests that content can be repurposed (syndicated) to LinkedIn. Knowing that Google enforces a duplicate content penalty on sites, I was curious to understand how syndication would work.

Typically for a website to syndicate content the syndicated content would be set to “noindex,” the canonical site would be identified, and there would be a disclaimer link at the bottom of a post.

Unfortunately, you cannot identify a LinkedIn post as canonical or (most importantly) tell Google not to index a LinkedIn post. And there does not seem to be a definitive opinion on how to properly syndicate posts to LinkedIn.

If you want to syndicate your content to LinkedIn, the only path that (currently) makes sense to avoid the possibility of a duplicate content penalty is to publish on LinkedIn first and then to syndicate that content to your site with a noindex tag and canonical link back to the original post.

Of course what this means is that search engines will refer search traffic back to LinkedIn rather than to your site. However, it is not clear that publishing to LinkedIn is a sound strategy for trying to generate search traffic anyhow.

Brand Journalism Ads_728_90

5. Ignore most of the advice you read

Most of the advice that I read on publishing to LinkedIn falls into two categories:

1. General blogging best practices

2. Statistics-based advice clearly derived from an unrepresentative sample

Yes, general blogging best practices work really well for LinkedIn long form posts. The reason for this is pretty straightforward – general blogging best practices are often times ways to generate more interest from the reader…which is what you want to do.

Point being that there is not a whole lot that is unique about posting to LinkedIn rather than posting your content someplace else.

On the other hand, any statistics that people cite about long form posts on LinkedIn should be taken with a grain of salt. Because there is not a lot of available long post data for LinkedIn, it is more than likely not very reliable.

If, for instance, someone takes a look at the top thousand posts on LinkedIn to determine statistical trends, they most likely are lumping Richard Branson’s and Bill Gates’ posts together in that research. And (spoiler alert) the collective Internet-famous “we” do not generate as much interest as Richard Branson or Bill Gates, agnostic of content, form or anything else.

More succinctly, I would rather have Brittany Howard (of Alabama Shakes) sing me the phone book than have somebody off the streets sing an Alabama Shakes song. If Howard is singing an Alabama Shakes song all the better.

I love LinkedIn. Once in a while I will see a long form post from somebody in my network that does not blog very often and I am grateful for this platform that enables a certain amount of thought leadership to emerge.

I love the demographics of the LinkedIn network as well, even though I have spent far more money on fruitless InMail than I would like to admit.

That said, I do not think it is as unique as people may want you to believe that it is. And I think it can be an important platform for marketers and communication professionals to distribute their content moving forward.

6 Reasons All Organizations Should Embrace the Cloud [Infographic]

Moving data into the cloud is an intimidating step for most organizations. IT teams must worry about security and privacy issues, while employees are concerned about the implementation of such a substantial change.

However, in today’s increasingly automated environment, cloud computing is the best way to manage data and effectively compete in the marketplace: in 2017, 74% of Tech Chief Financial Officers said that cloud computing had the most measurable impact on their organization. The cloud lowers workload and cost, enables flexibility and collaboration, and actually increases security. Here are six reasons all organizations should embrace the cloud:

Cloud vs On-Premise Software?

This is a guest post by Sara Carter. Sara is a co-founder of the website Enlightened Digital, entrepreneur, and Bostonian.  While writing in the tech and business space, her goal is to explore how changes in the digital world affect business growth and professional development, especially for women.

There are many options and vendors when it comes to computing software. For example, there are application suites such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM) offerings, and collaboration and content management applications in the software as a service (SaaS) race. However, there are a few other decisions to be made when it comes to utilizing this type of software solution. Organizations can either look to cloud hosting services or they can maintain their on-premise system.

Why Bundle Policies Are the Best Option for Commercial Businesses

As the owner of a commercial business, you understand that your risks are greater than the average small business owner’s, and that you have more to lose if one of those risks affects your business, which may be why you have decided to invest in a commercial policy in Glen Rock. However, deciding that you need coverage is just the first step. The next step involves determining what type of coverage you actually need. A Glen Rock insurance agent can help you with that.

The right insurance agent can help you identify your risks and understand what you have to lose if you don’t invest in certain coverages. He or she can also help you build a comprehensive plan that is affordable but that will save you thousands to millions in the long run. How is that possible? By bundling.

By bundling insurance options under one greater plan, you can protect yourself from all possible exposures but only pay for one premium. With a bundle commercial policy in Glen Rock, you may be covered for everything from professional liability to fiduciary liability, and from car accidents to cyberattacks, all for one low monthly cost. If you want to protect your business with the best coverage possible, contact your local Glen Rock insurance agent for more information.

Baffin William

During England's protracted 16th-century war with Spain, no effort was made to follow up John Davis's Arctic discoveries of 1585-1587 until 1602, when companies of London merchants launched a renewed search for the North West Passage. In 1612, four merchants of the North West Company sponsored James Hall's voyage to pursue trade, rumored silver deposits, and the ever-elusive North West Passage. William Baffin first appeared in records as chief pilot aboard Patience, which was dispatched from Hull on April 22, 1612 to the coast of Greenland, with Andrew Barker's Heart's Ease. On July 8 at Cockin Sound

(Sukkertoppen, 65°45' N), Baffin became the first English mariner to calculate and record his longitude by celestial observation. The expedition reached 67° N, but was curtailed by Hall's death at the hands of Inuit at Ramel's Fjord (Amerdloq) on July 22, and returned to England on September 11. Baffin's account includes descriptions of the Inuit.

Baffin was next in the service of the Muscovy Company for two of its annual whaling expeditions to Spitsbergen. From May 13 to September 6, 1613, he piloted Captain Benjamin Joseph's Tiger, which protected a small English fleet of whalers, and drove numerous foreign vessels from the region. On April 16, 1614, Baffin and Joseph again embarked for Spitsbergen aboard Thomasine, with a still larger fleet, which also included Heart's Ease, now commanded by Thomas Maramaduke. Thomasine and Heart's Ease undertook exploration of Spitsbergen's northern coast. Ice retarded progress, but shallops were launched to press eastward beyond Woodfjorden and Wijdefjorden. Baffin and Robert Fotherby reached the western shore of Hinlopen Strait (80° N 17° E). The fleet returned to London on October 4, 1614.

On March 15, 1615, Baffin sailed as pilot of the 55-ton Discovery, commanded by Robert Bylot. Both ship and captain had formerly served on expeditions by Henry Hudson (1610-1611), Sir Thomas Button (1612-1613), and William Gibbons (1614), and were now sent to continue their search via Hudson's Strait, spurred by the promise of triple wages for the crew of 14 men and two boys if a North West Passage were found. Greenland was sighted on May 6, Discovery rounded Cape Farewell on May 10, and Resolution Island at the mouth of Hudson Strait was attained on May 27. Baffin's skill as a scientific navigator was employed surveying the south coast of the island which later bore his name, as well as Salisbury, Nottingham, Mill, and Southampton islands, astride the Foxe Channel. Landing often to take celestial fixes and record his position, he also recorded compass variations and closely observed the currents, tidal flows, and ice movement. While en route on April 26,1615, he recorded the first lunar calculation of longitude to be made by a ship under way, by measuring the occultation of a star by the moon. Using yet another technique to calculate longitude, he fixed his position on June 21 at 74°05' W, which was confirmed to be within a degree of accuracy by Parry in 1821. Although Baffin's calculations of longitude were not always this accurate, those for latitude later revealed errors of no more than five to ten minutes. Discovery made landfall at Plymouth on September 8, 1615, and Baffin rewarded the expedition's sponsors with his log and a chart—the only one of his to survive—which accurately located the discoveries of Hudson and Button as well as his own.

Based on his tidal observations, Baffin concluded that no viable westward passage would be found in Hudson Bay or the Foxe Basin, but suggested that it might lie north of Davis Strait. As a result, on March 26, 1616, Bylot and Baffin were again dispatched aboard Discovery, bound for Davis Strait. After foul weather delays, they cleared Plymouth on April 19, reached the west coast of Greenland (65°20' N) in mid-May, and proceeded northward up the coast. On May 30, they passed Davis's furthest north, "Sanderson's Hope," explored the nearby Upernavik ("Women's") Islands (72°47' N), and described the Inuit in some detail. In quick succession, they reached and named Sir Dudley Digges Cape and Wolstenholme Fjord (76°35' N) on July 3, Whale Sound (Hvalsund, 77°30' N) on July 4, and on July 5 reached the mouth of Smith Sound (77°45' N), which they named for Sir Thomas Smythe. This exceeded Davis's furthest north by more than 360 miles, thus setting a record only broken 236 years later by Edward A. Inglefield. Sailing onward, past the Cary Islands, around Baffin Bay, and charting the east coasts of Ellesmere and Devon Islands, on July 10 and 12 Discovery reached two wide, eastward-running sounds, choked with ice, which were christened for Alderman Jones and Sir James Lancaster. Failing to recognize Lancaster Sound as the gateway to the true North West Passage, Baffin and Bylot continued south, past the islands that bear their names, to about 65°40' N, near the entrance to Cumberland Sound. They judged their mission a failure, and since they were no longer in unexplored waters and crew members were falling ill with scurvy, they made for Cockin Sound on the Greenland coast, and reached Dover on August 30, 1616. This voyage, achieved without loss of life, represented a triumph of navigation and Arctic discovery. Unfortunately, Purchas parsimoniously published only an abbreviated version of Baffin's account, and omitted altogether his navigation tables and detailed chart, publishing instead a map by Henry Briggs, which preserved the illusion of a North West Passage through Hudson Bay. This led to the dismissal of Baffin's discoveries, until they were corroborated by Sir John Ross's expedition in 1818, the very year Sir John Barrow published his own skeptical views of Baffin's claims, while acknowledging Purchas's culpability as an editor.

Although the results of his expeditions discouraged further pursuit of a North West Passage, and despite his own skepticism, Baffin's subsequent service with the East India Company has been attributed to his desire to seek out the Passage from the west. Although he never returned to the Arctic, he had established himself as England's most skillful navigator prior to James Cook.

Freescale/ NXP i.MX How-tos

Freescale i.MX processor, especially the recent i.MX6 Cortex A9 series, must be one the most Linux friendly ARM SoC available at this time. Freescale provides awesome documentation and the full source code, excluding the Vivante GPU drivers as they are prevented legally. But Etnaviv, a reverse-engineered open source driver for Vivante GPUs, has already made good progress and currently (Dec 2013) works with the lower end Vivante GPUs, but not quite yet with Vivante GC2000 3D GPU used in the quad core version of i.MX6.

One of the first low cost platform based on Freescale i.MX6 Quad was HiApad Hi802, now more commonly known as Zealz GK802, an Android 4.0 HDMI TV dongle / mini PC. The device is quite nice to hack, as it has an easily replaceable internal micro SD card, making it unbrickable, and the availability of Freescale reference HDMI dongle source code. I’ve explained how to build Android with this code, how-to access the serial console in GK802, and posted instructions explaining how to install Debian 7 and Ubuntu on the device. Steps to update the Android firmware on GK802 are also available.

Wandboard is now one of the best development ARM Linux development boards in the market, and comes with three flavors: Wandboard Solo, Wandboard Dual and Wandboard Quad, featuring respectively i.MX6 Solo, i.MX6 Duallite, and i.MX6 Quad processor. The company sent me two boards for review, and wrote a Quick Start Guide for Wandboard Dual,  showing how to assemble the casing, how to install Android or Ubuntu images, and how to build the kernel yourself. A Wandboard Quad’s getting started guide showing how to build and install Android 4.2.2, as well as a Yocto based Linux distribution, is also available.

A Linux XBMC image has been developed by Stephan Rafin, and I’ve explained how to install XBMC on Wandboard and GK802.

If you’re interested in i.MX6 platform development, I’d recommend you join i.MX6 dongle developers community, subscribe to Jas Hacks and Boundary devices blogs for their tutorials, as well as Stephan Rafin’s blog, if you are specifically interested in XBMC Linux on Wandboard & UDOO boards and/or Compulab Utilite computers.

Solution 1

Subscribe the Closing event (WindowClosing or FormClosing) of the form. It comes with CancelEventArgs which have a Cancel property. Set that property to True when you cannot close the form.
I voted 4 in this case. The answer is not quite complete.

First, the option of using OnFormClosing is not mentioned, but it has certain benefits. More importantly, CloseReason property is important but is often forgotten, so it's important to point it out. Please see Solution 2.

Please Sign up or sign in to vote.

Solution 2

In addition to Solution 1:

An alternative to handling FormClosing, you can override the virtual method System.Windows.Forms.Form.FormClosing:

The event arguments type is the same, FormClosingEventArgs, so you control the cancellation of processing the same way, via FormClosingEventArgs.Cancel:
FormClosingEventArgs Class (System.Windows.Forms)[^].

Note the you should better check up FormClosingEventArgs.CloseReason; usually, you need to prevent closing only when it's closing by the user via the form's control, so you have to check is the reason is CloseReason.UserClosing:
FormClosingEventArgs.CloseReason Property (System.Windows.Forms),
CloseReason Enumeration (System.Windows.Forms).

Overriding FormClosing has certain benefits over the event handling. Here is why: overridden code is simpler and more maintainable, and the need to create a derived type is not a hassle, because Form types are usually derived in the application anyway.

Limavady withdrawal a blow for North West cricket

North West cricket suffered another blow this week, with the news that former All Ireland winners Limavady CC have decided to withdraw from the union.

The Roeside Cricket Club have announced that they have been forced to withdraw from the North West league with immediate effect - bringing to an end the story of one of the Union's most successful members.

The writing has probably been on the wall since the club opted to drop into the Qualifying Divisions at the end of the 2012 season, but the determination of people like Johnnie Hunter, Ivor Lapsley, Ivan McMichael and Ian McCloskey managed to keep things afloat until now.

The unfortunate passing of stalwart Johnnie Hunter last year hasn't helped their cause and despite their best efforts, Ivor Lapsley confirmed that Limavady had come to the end of the road.

"We've been struggling for a while to get a team out week to week, to be completely honest," he stated to Cricket Europe Ireland.

"It was a bit of a struggle to get to the end of the season but we plugged on and decided that we would sit down and look at the situation realistically when this summer was over.

"That's exactly what we did and the fact is, we just don't have anything like the numbers to keep going." "Of course it's a massive disappointment but we had to be realistic. It's the end of an era that it was a pleasure to be a part of."

The Roesiders were the dominant force not just in the North West but throughout Ireland for a spell in the late 90's and early 00's- culminating in their capture of the senior treble of league, cup and All-Ireland in a unique 1997 season.

The likes of Decker Curry, Stephen Smyth, Ian McGregor, Ricky McDaid, Mark McDaid and overseas players including Kamran Akmal, Jaideep Narse and Agha Sabir graced the Hunter Memorial Grounds in those days as Limavady claimed 7 senior cup wins, 9 league titles (including 7 in a row) and 2 All-Ireland titles in the space of 10 years.

Things have of course been much leaner since that 2012 development, however it goes without saying that the loss of Limavady from the local Union will still be keenly felt.

A spokesman for the North West said that they were disappointed by the developments and paid tribute to the club's contribution to the Union's history.

"It is obviously a sad day for North West cricket and for the sport in the Roe Valley in particular.

"Limavady's outstanding achievements will stand the test of time and we would pay tribute not just to those involved in the golden years, but also those who fought hard to keep the club afloat since.

"We will of course continue to look for ways to keep young people coming into the sport in the Roe Valley as we do with every other part of the region."

Julius-K9 162P0 K9 PowerHarness

Product is rated as #3 in category Harnesses

A very popular no-pull harness, particularly for medium to large breeds.

Julius-K9 162P0 K9 PowerHarness

In this review we cover the Julius-K9 162P0 K9 PowerHarness. This harness is a very well known and popular harness for larger dogs. We initially assumed they were aimed at large breeds however, when researching for a recent Cockapoo Harness article we found they come in a wide variety of sizes. For example, ‘Size 0’ is recommended for smaller dogs such as a Cockapoo or a Beagle. There are also some puppy sizes (check out our measurement guide below).

Julius-K9 162P0 K9 PowerHarness ReviewA friend of ours has a Newfoundland and having tried all sorts of different harnesses as she was growing up – swears by the Julius-K9. The Newfoundland can be quite a pulling dog and has a tendency to run off in the early days – so combined with a very long lead – this worded a treat.

The Julius-K9 is a very sturdy, attractive harness. It features a metal ring on top for lead attachments and a large, adjustable handle for increased control of your dog. The handle on the back can be used for easy grip and lifting of the dog.

The belly strap has a heavy-duty plastic buckle and the chest strap has an adjustable hook and loop fastening. The reflective stripe on the chest strap provides visibility in the dark. The K9 PowerHarness is breathable and can be fitted and removed easily. And because it’s a Julius-K9, it also has attachments for saddlebags and a torch (because why not, right?).

The only downside to this harness is, like the Outad, the lack of chest ring. Again, it’s maybe not a major issue but for someone who transports their dog regularly in the back seat of the car, it’s definitely a negative point. The Julius harness is also on the upper end of the price scale, though that’s perhaps to be expected given its popularity and quality.

As mentioned previously, most associate this harness with larger dogs. There are however a variety of sizes as well as a handy chart to identify which is best for your dog. I have included Amazon links to each here:

  • Baby 1 – Chest circumference: 29-36 cm, weight of the dog: 1-3 kg
  • Baby 2 – Chest circumference: 33-45 cm, weight of the dog: 2.5-5 kg
  • Mini-Mini – Chest circumference: 40 -53 cm, weight of the dog: 4-7 kg

WIN logo

Leesburg, Virginia --  September 18, 2015 -- The Women’s Industry Network is pleased to report record membership numbers have been achieved in 2015. The organization revealed this week that the group is now comprised of over 400 women and men from a vast number of segments within the collision repair industry.

Denise Caspersen, current WIN Chair, attributed the growth to an increase in industry outreach, last year’s #ALLIN4WIN membership drive and the dedication of the organization’s members.

“We are fortunate to have a group of individuals within WIN who are not only members, but are also advocates for the group and share the WIN message frequently and enthusiastically,” says Caspersen.

The 2016 membership drive is planned for October, spearheaded by Mary Kunz, Chair of the Membership Committee. Kunz is looking forward to exceeding the results of last year’s drive.

"As a 10-year member of WIN I am thrilled to see the steady growth in our membership numbers and excited to watch WIN surpass the 400 mark this year,” she says. “It is encouraging to see so many women and men taking advantage of all that WIN has to offer including our one-of-kind annual education conference; our many scholarship opportunities; and our supportive networking/mentoring culture."

The country’s oldest university revoked admission offers for at least ten prospective undergraduate students because they shared discriminatory and vulgar memes in a Facebook group chat for accepted students.

Harvard University’s student paper The Harvard Crimson reported yesterday (June 5) that administrators rescinded the offers in mid-April after discovering the private chat and its contents. Anonymously cited incoming freshman told The Crimson that the chat, once titled ”Harvard memes for horny bourgeois teens,” grew out of a larger pop culture meme-sharing group whose members connected via the undergraduate Harvard College’s Class of 2021 Facebook page.

The Crimson obtained, but did not publicly release, screenshots from the private chat that featured “memes and other images mocking sexual assault, the Holocaust and the deaths of children,” as well as people of color. One message referred to a Mexican child’s theoretical hanging as “piñata time.”

One admitted student told The Crimson that the chat’s moderators allowed others to join only after posting offensive images in the larger meme group. ”They were like, ‘Oh, you have to send a meme to the original group to prove that you could get into the new one,’” she said. “This was a just-because-we-got-into-Harvard-doesn’t-mean-we-can’t-have-fun kind of thing.”

The Crimson did not explain how administrators discovered the splinter group or its contents, and a Harvard College spokesperson told the paper on Saturday (June 3) that “we do not comment publicly on the admissions status of individual applicants.”

Admissions employees reportedly emailed the students in question and demanded they disclose every photo sent in the chat and offer statements explaining their participation:

“The Admissions Committee was disappointed to learn that several students in a private group chat for the Class of 2021 were sending messages that contained offensive messages and graphics,” reads a copy of the Admissions Office’s email obtained by The Crimson. “As we understand you were among the members contributing such material to this chat, we are asking that you submit a statement by tomorrow at noon to explain your contributions and actions for discussion with the Admissions Committee.”

One anonymously cited and now-rejected student says the university administrators also instructed the students not to come to Harvard’s late-April admitted students weekend. At least ten people received letters by mid-April that revoked their admission offers.

Harvard faced a similar controversy last year, when The Crimson reported that the university uncovered a GroupMe chat where prospective students traded racist and sexist content. Unlike this year, the university did not revoke those students’ offers.

A Church’s Commitment to Church Planting Sharpens an Evangelistic Focus

Download this article — Multiplying Congregatons — George Wright

In 1907, the First Baptist Church of Columbia watched as the city’s Shandon community – less than three miles away – began to grow. First Baptist responded to the growth by planting Shandon Baptist Church, which today is arguably one of the most Kingdom focused churches in the Southern Baptist and South Carolina Baptist Conventions and the Columbia Metro Baptist Association.

“Church planting is in our church’s roots and heritage,” says George Wright, Shandon’s senior pastor since returning to Columbia in 2017. “Over 100 years ago, First Baptist saw a need to reach the Shandon neighborhood and planted this church.”

That missional DNA has moved Shandon’s history to support church planting through the North American Mission Board’s Send Cities church planting initiative in Los Angeles, Boston, and Washington DC. Shandon has also supported a church plant in Charleston, SC.

“At Shandon, I want to see more and more people involved and being sent to help in church planting,” George says. “As a church we are currently focusing on the Send City of Pittsburg; we’ve laid out dreams and hopes for that area, we are sending people there, and we are focusing our efforts there.

“In South Carolina, we have a Southern Baptist Church for every 2,000 people, but in Pittsburg it’s more like one Southern Baptist Church for every 60,000 people. We want to be involved here at home, too. We want to be planting churches and supporting churches where the need is great.”

George Wright is passionate about church planting because he is a church planter. Growing up as the son of Bryant Wright, senior pastor of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, GA and a former Southern Baptist Convention president, George says “I grew up with a love for the church.” He came to school at the University of South Carolina, where membership in a fraternity placed him around people “who were far from God. I developed a passion for them, and through that a passion for ministry and church planting.”

During college, he served at Shandon Baptist, married, and went to Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth. Working at a Texas church, he felt the call to church planting.

“I wanted to pastor a church where my fraternity brothers would be welcome,” he said. “There are so many people who are outside the church, seeking, but just not comfortable in our traditional church environments.” Johnson Ferry Baptist Church sponsored a church plant in Acworth, GA – a northwest suburb where George says, “about 85 percent of the population is unchurched.” George became the church plant’s pastor.

“We were going to do whatever it took to reach that community,” George says of Cedarcrest Church. “As a church plant, we had the opportunity to do things in a new way that made it easy for people to connect with us. We were out in the community, serving the community without being encumbered by a lot of the sacred cows that slowly grow up through the traditional church.” George was pastor there for the 10 years before he came as Shandon’s pastor, and says during the church plant’s first five years more than half the people who joined had never been a member of a church.

“We were seeing a lot of people come to faith in Christ,” he says. “There was a lot of joy surrounding that.” It’s that experience that has fueled the more recent church planting conversations at Shandon.

“My experience in church planting has given me a little more credibility when I talk about church planting and how effective it is at reaching people,” George says. “It’s not just the church plant that benefits from a supporting church like Shandon. Shandon benefits from being involved in church planting. We get to be reminded how important it is for us to be involved in personal evangelism, missions, and making disciples. Church planting is so very important for everyone involved.

“Church plants are more urgent about evangelism and that’s contagious,” George says. “It’s not that people come to church plants because they are new, but because the planters are more focused. As a pastor or leader, you aren’t consumed with those already at the church because there’s not anyone at the church. You don’t lose sight of the mission to share the gospel.”

Hibbs talks a little about 1/13

The one problem about promising to do this weekly for the quarter (well, or perhaps more properly promising to TRY) is sometimes I feel stupid and tired and without anything meaningful to say. So this one will be short!

ADVENTURE COMICS #6: I sort of wonder if Geoff Johns had really intended to be on this book for more than the 6 issues or not, but it all ends this issue. The "what would Superman/Luthor done?" thing gets buried here, too -- and none too fast to my tastes. That whole thread really didn't work, given the possible end-games, and it is hammered in all of the wrong directions here as Luthor does something stupidly evil here. Mostly stupid. I've got to go with... well, I started typing "eh", but actually I think I'll mark that as AWFUL. There are no LSH bits this issue, and I sort of wonder if everything that was meant to be building up for... geez, it feels like 3 years, can that be right? with all of the LSHers in the present time is just going to peter out and come to nothing in the end as well?

BUFFY #31: I dunno if it just lagged out on the main plot that doesn't happen the same way when it is a TV show coming into your house for free, but I've been itchy with BTVS for the last few issues -- I'm especially not liking this whole "everyone loses their powers/Buffy is superpowered" thing that just doesn't really work in the time spans comics are released. My bigger problem with the book, and especially the expanding cast is how weak some of the likenesses have gotten recently. Is that Oz at the top of the issue? Is the wounded soldier supposed to be Riley? Is that Andrew that Twilight has there in the middle? I can't fucking tell! While it isn't "natural", having characters say one another's names to make these things clear would be a swell idea. The Xander/Buffy conversation was very nice, but, overall, we're getting into merely OK territory for this reader.

INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #22: Part 3 of 5, and it really felt like a time marker to me. Not much HAPPENS so far in this story, and this is the least-happening of them. If you're jumping on IM because critics like me like it... don't start here. OK

POWER OF SHAZAM #48: Are there ANY rules to these BN crossovers? I'd thought we were told quite explicitly that the zombies WERE NOT the actual dead people, that the rings were simply accessing memories. WTF is going on here then? Without rules Science Fiction is just Fantasy, and most fantasy is just AWFUL.

SECRET SIX #17: Editing 101: if you're doing a three part story, and part one was not in the same series you're currently reading then you NEED to put some sort of "continued from SUICIDE SQUAD #xxx" note in the comic SOMEwhere. Anyone getting Sec6, and who didn't pick up the SuiSq lead in to this would be COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY LOST. Even having read both I was kind of meh on the endless rolling fight scene. EH.

That's all I got for this week... what did YOU think?

Affordable, quality health care. For everyone.

Interruptions in Medicaid Coverage and Risk for Hospitalization for Ambulatory Care-Sensitive Conditions

An abstract is available at:

A review of hospital discharge data in California revealed that interruptions in Medicaid coverage increased the risk of hospitalization for ambulatory care–sensitive conditions such as heart failure, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which can often be managed in an outpatient setting. Hospital admissions for these conditions may signal a decline in health status among patients who no longer have access to preventive and primary care services because of an interruption in their health care coverage.

IMPORTED: www_commonwealthfund_org__usr_img_Bindman_ITL_figure_web.gif

The Issue

Interruptions in health insurance coverage are common in the United States. An estimated 85 million people younger than age 65, or 38 percent of the U.S. population, were uninsured for at least part of a recent three-year period. Low-income people are particularly at risk. Medicaid beneficiaries must demonstrate eligibility for benefits each year. In some states, this can be as often as every three months, making people especially vulnerable to such disruptions. (During most of the time this study was conducted, 1998 to 2002, California required beneficiaries to report on their eligibility every three months. The state has since reduced the frequency of eligibility determination.) Research suggests that people who experience interruptions in health coverage are less likely to receive primary and preventive care that could prevent hospitalizations.

Key Findings

  • More than 60 percent of the 4.7 million Medicaid beneficiaries included in the analysis experienced some interruption in their health coverage during the study period. The average duration of an interruption in coverage was 25 months.
  • Beneficiaries who experienced an interruption in Medicaid benefits had a substantially higher risk of hospitalization for ambulatory care–sensitive conditions than did those with continuous coverage.
  • The majority of adults who had an interruption in their Medicaid coverage became uninsured and did not acquire another form of insurance.
  • Patients who qualified for Medicaid through Supplemental Security Income (SSI) because of a chronic disability had more hospitalizations for ambulatory care–sensitive conditions than those who received benefits through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). However, the TANF beneficiaries are more vulnerable to interruptions in Medicaid coverage than the SSI beneficiaries, who typically also have Medicare coverage that can preserve their access to primary care.

Addressing the Problem

IMPORTED: www_commonwealthfund_org__usr_img_Bindman_pull_quote_12_15_08.gif
Public insurance programs can help significantly reduce the number of uninsured. But the administrative burdens they often place on beneficiaries can impede their success in reaching those in need. Policies that reduce the frequency of coverage interruptions could prevent hospitalizations and other events that trigger negative health consequences and high costs.

About the Study

The study examined hospital discharge data for more than 4.7 million adults (ages 18 to 64 years) in California who were covered by Medicaid for at least one month between 1998 and 2002 and were hospitalized for an ambulatory care–sensitive condition. These conditions included asthma, angina, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, dehydration, diabetes, hypertension, lower-extremity amputation, pneumonia, ruptured appendix, and urinary tract infection. The authors compared hospitalization rates among Medicaid enrollees with continuous coverage and those who experienced interruptions in their benefits.

The Bottom Line

Interruptions in Medicaid coverage are associated with a higher rate of hospitalization for ambulatory care–sensitive conditions, like heart failure, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Gauge Local Government Capacity to Manage Flood Risk

Many local governments in Delaware do not have the capacity or resources (e.g., staff, expertise, finances, and time) to adequately manage flood risk, which may impact a community’s preparedness and resiliency. Local, state, and federal governments; private and non-profit sectors; and community stakeholders must work collaboratively to plan for future flood events. Adaptive planning is an ongoing process involving coordination and partnerships. Local governments should seek assistance from experts within state agencies in developing strategies to protect critical structures such as wastewater treatment facilities from flooding, protect water supplies from flooding and saltwater intrusion, evaluate the adequacy of drainage infrastructure, and incorporate adaptive measures within planning processes.

Delaware local governments should develop operational plans and strategies, with technical assistance from state agencies and input from key stakeholders, to address potential impacts of flooding. While it is advised that each jurisdiction assign a certified floodplain manager to this role, smaller entities may not have this ability. Therefore, it is essential to designate a specific staff member to work with state agencies, local officials, and citizens to evaluate and manage flood readiness. Local governments should determine needs for technical assistance, funding, or training for staff, elected officials, planning commission members, and/or other citizen volunteers to address flood readiness associated with storms, seasonal high “king” tides, and sea level rise.

Image of IPA Flood Ready Workshop

IPA Flood-Ready Workshop

Training for local government officials is offered through IPA’s Delaware Planning Education Program. Conducted in collaboration with DNREC and the Sea Grant College Program, IPA’s Planning 201—Creating a Flood-Ready Community—trains local leaders in evaluating flood risks, implementing adaptation measures through community planning, and revising codes and ordinances. State agencies also host workshops for local government officials and staff, such as DNREC’s Coastal Training Program. Lastly, the University of Delaware’s Sustainable Coastal Communities Initiative and Delaware Sea Grant provide training workshops to local government officials and decision makers.

The Resources section provides an extensive list of technical assistance and funding offered by federal and state agencies and other organizations.

Microsoft officially took the wraps off the next product in its Surface lineup, a budget-minded tablet called Surface Go. The Surface Go is a 10-inch tablet that starts at a pocket-friendly $399, but you’ll need to pony up more cash for more storage and memory.

Lighter and smaller than the Surface Pro, the Surface Go features dimensions of 9.6-by-6.9-by-0.3 inches and weighs just 1.2 pounds. The 10-inch 3:2 1800-by-1200 PixelSense Display dominates the front side of the device, but substantial bezels remain on each side of the display.

Preorders start TODAY, July 10th, with shipments scheduled to begin in early August.

The base $399 model ships with 64GB of eMMC flash storage and 4GB of RAM, but users can opt for a $549 model that includes 128GB of SSD storage and 8GB of RAM. Each of these models come in Wi-Fi-only network configurations.

LTE models and 256GB versions of the Surface Go are slated to go on sale sometime after the August 2 launch of the tablet.

One notable aspect that differentiates this Surface tablet compared to previous models is the presence of USB-C. The Surface Go is the first Surface tablet with a USB-C 3.1 port built in, the universal connector seen on the MacBook and MacBook Pro.

Teen hacker charged with securities fraud and ID theft

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has filed civil charges against a Pennsylvania man for computer hacking and identity...

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has filed civil charges against a Pennsylvania man for computer hacking and identity theft in a scheme to dump worthless options for Cisco Systems stock.

The case against 19-year-old Van Dinh is the first time computer hacking and identity theft have both played a part in a fraud prosecution by the commission.

Dinh was arrested yesterday on the campus of Drexel University, where he claimed to be studying business. He was motivated to commit the crime after being stuck with 7,200 worthless options contracts for Cisco stock.

Exercising the options would have resulted in a loss of approximately $37,000, the SEC said,.

In June, the Pennsylvania teenager paid $91,200 to buy more than 9,000 put options on Cisco stock, which gave him the right to sell the shares at or below $15 a share before 19 July..

In the weeks following his purchase, however, Cisco stock hovered around $19 per share, making Dinh's put options worthless. he then allegedly set up an elaborate scheme to unload the shares in a bogus transaction.

First, the teenager allegedly lured participants in an online stock discussion group to download a key logging program claimed to be a stock-charting tool.

After using the program to monitor the information typed on victims' machines, Dinh allegedly obtained the login and password information for an online brokerage account owned by a man in Massachusetts.

With the victim's account information in hand, Dinh used his own online brokerage account to create orders to sell the worthless options, then hacked into the victim's online account and created corresponding buy orders for the options.

The transactions removed around $46,986 from the victim's brokerage account.

The SEC learned of the crime after being contacted by the victim, and launched an investigation which grew to include the FBI and the US Attorneys Office.

Dinh was also charged by the Attorney's Office with securities fraud, mail and wire fraud resulting from the illegal sale, .

The SEC used the case to trumpet its online investigative technique, noting that the commission identified Dinh as the alleged culprit within days of the crime, despite his attempts to cover his tracks online through the use of multiple e-mail accounts and websites which enable internet users to shield their identity.

A trail of both money and digital communications led from the victim's computer back to Dinh, he said.

Key-logging software Dinh installed sent out a steady stream of e-mail messages that could be traced back to accounts under his control. Ultimately, investigators were also able to trace the origin of both the sale and purchase of the options back to an IP address at the Phoenixville home of Dinh's parents.

If found guilty, Dinh could face a maximum term of 30 years in jail and a $1m fine for the securities, mail and wire fraud charges.

The case should serve as a warning to investors who use online brokerage services. Users should be suspicious of programs they are asked to download and install and should use antivirus and firewall software to shield their computers from intrusions, the SEC advised.
