IMG_9227So, busy one-and-a-half months there.

Since the last trip ticker I've gone climbing in a few different countries, so a bit of catch-up there.

At the end of July Jenn and I went to Vedauwoo with her little and played on the practice slab.

While Alyssa was racing the Enduro, Mo and I were out climbing Baobob Tree and losing dogs.

The first weekend of August, a group of us got together for the "Last Lander Weekend" and camped out and climbed Wild Iris.

After that, Alyssa and I went off to Europe, a trip I have a couple hundred photos of. While there, we climbed in Swanage, England; the Verdon Gorge, France; and Umea, Sweden. I'm excited to share more about that trip and the fun weekends above, but having just gotten home from it all two days ago and with a move to Lander so that I can start working at PitchEngine (and on my climbing), it's going to be a while before things get processed and posted. I think life will settle down in October and photos will start going up around then.

So, until next month!

Image detection in scanned images

Detecting pictures in scanned document pages has many advantages such as better compression rates and the possibility to extract them individually.

A scanned page is originally a raster image consisting of bi-level or color pixels. Since we have sophisticated compression methods scanning in color is clearly preferred over pure black / white modes. One such method is the mixed raster content (MRC) method which separates the scanned image in a background, mask and foreground layer. Each layer can individually be compressed using specialized algorithms parameterized for its specific purpose. Such algorithms are JBIG2 for the mask and JPEG2000 for the background layer.
There can be multiple foreground layers e.g. for photographic images that are part the scanned page. In order to separate these images from the background and mask layer a specific segmentation algorithm must detect and isolate them. Each of these images now can form an individual foreground layer compressed with a specific algorithm such as JPEG.
So the MRC method for scanned pages can be accomplished as follows:
  • Segmentation algorithm: detect and isolate images
  • Separation algorithm: compute the pixels of the image mask and the color background.
  • Compress each layer using a dedicated compression algorithm
  • Compose the layers according to an MRC schema such as RFC 2301 in TIFF or a masked image in PDF.
Removing images from the scanned page may also speed up the text recognition process (OCR).
However, a more interesting function can be offered though. If the said images have been isolated and assigned an individual layer the can be easily extracted from the document by a suitable tool.
Furthermore, when create a PDF document from a scanned page, then the optional content feature can be used to switch on and off the background and foreground layers.
Our products such as the 3-Heights™ TIFF Toolbox, the 3-Heights™ Scan Server and the 3-Heights™ Optimizer now support the features described in this article. To extract the images from a PDF document the 3-Heights™ PDF Extract tool can be used.

Is JBIG2 soon banned?

JBIG2 is a compression algorithm for bitonal images and has been developed to replace the widely used CCITT G4 algorithm because it can reach better compression ratios. However, the algorithm has received a bad reputation which has led some security experts to the recommendation not to use the algorithm anymore. Is this a wise advice or just an overreaction? Why could it go so far?

To understand this let us start with some properties of the algorithm itself. JBIG2 can be used in two modes: lossless and lossy. In the lossless mode the decompressed image is binary identical to the image before it is compressed. In lossy mode some pixels may differ in favor of a better compression rate.

To achieve this the compressor builds up a symbol dictionary consisting of bit patterns for e.g. the character "e". On a scanned page this character can appear often, but the bit patterns may differ slightly. The compression algorithm now replaces all occurrences of these patterns with references to the pattern stored in the symbol dictionary. Most compressors have a quality parameter which indicates how "similar" a pattern is to a previously stored symbol. It is obvious that this method can save space.

But, if the quality parameter is set to low then the compressor may replaces a bit pattern for "6" by a reference to the symbol "8". In this case we might get a problem. This possible behavior is the source of the whole discussion about the JBIG2 algorithm.

Due to the problems that might occur during compression some experts recommend not to use the algorithm at all. In particular the German federal authority BSI (Bundesamt für die Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik) revised the RESISCAN guideline accordingly. Although JBIG2 is not mentioned explicitly therein it forbids pattern matching / replacement and soft pattern matching algorithms. This implies that JBIG2 shall not be used neither lossless nor lossy. Also the Swiss KOST (Koordinationsstelle für die dauerhafte Archivierung elektronischer Unterlagen) recommends not to use JBIG2 anymore.

Technically spoken, if a user uses lossless JBIG2 compression then the described problem cannot occur. On the other side I can understand that BSI and KOST recommend not to use the algorithm at all since they assume that most users do no care about the details such as lossy and lossless and quality parameters.

In order to avoid security discussions the setting of the quality parameter has been disabled in our software since version with the effect that only lossless compression is being used.

I would be interested in your opinion. Is this an overreaction or a wise advice? Please let me know and post a comment.

Digital jobs LESS affected by COVID quarantine

We witness unprecedented times affecting the overall employment market. Teams are working remotely, hiring is frozen, and employers have learned a new word – furlough, some of the most affected companies had to shut their businesses.

But are things in the digital space as bad as we read? Had crisis affected digital jobs and if so, how? PitchMe asked 2.000 respondents working across Europe to pass a Covid-19 survey and here are the results.

Has quarantine affected your job? survey results

44% of respondents have not been affected by the quarantine. They said that their employers have provided them with all necessary tools for remote work. Some employers helped to organize remote workspace and delivered computers, screens and even office chairs to employee’s homes.

Quarantine did not affect professionals from following sectors: survey results

The less affected jobs are within IT, Design and Marketing space. We have interviewed a number of IT and Design professionals to identify why they have been affected less.

Developers in remote teams

Majority of the respondents had been working in the remote teams on the part-time of full-time basis before the quarantine. Employers say, the talent pool that opens up with remote work is just amazing, which offers great possibilities for creating diverse teams and awesome products – and that especially goes for developers.

Developers and product owners say that remote environment is great for the team, who gets to benefit from a harmonious life/work relationship (and save time and money on commuting… and work pants!) and great for the company, where they benefit from a wider hiring pool and not having to worry about maintaining a physical office.

Designers and marketing specialists

Independent designers on contract or freelance designers collaborate remotely as a part of their daily routine.

“Because I now live in a place where I can actually enjoy my personal life and be closer to nature, I’m producing better work and my overall stress has decreased immensely. I feel good about waking up every morning and getting work done.”

says Rachel, SMM specialist from London.

Remote work seems to be a more enjoyable for creative professionals such as graphic designers:

“Personally, the agency life doesn’t appeal to me. I do my best work alone. I’m an introvert and as a result, if given time to brainstorm ideas I tend to come up with a much better result than some sort of group work generated a concept. That said, I think critiques from peers are crucial to growing as a designer. Does this need to happen in person? Not necessarily. Screen sharing or annotations tend to capture the same message. Agencies can save so much more money by offering remote options as well. As a designer, I just want to do cool work and be creative. I don’t need access to foosball tables or any beverage under the sun. I’m simple.”

While a new work conditions seem to be inconvenient for many, digital sector seems to be affected less. However, it puts additional pressure on managers and executives who need to adjust to new communication methods and project management principles. If processes are managed well and team has all necessary tools for remote work, companies can see much better results in overall performance and cut unnecessary costs on office maintenance, commute and burnout-preventive measures.

5 Quick Wins to Improve Your Security Posture Instantly

Because of their size, small companies are especially vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Bad actors looking for quick wins are playing the odds that a small company has lax cyber security. That should be reason enough to start taking a closer look at the policies you have in place. But, if it’s not, consider this: Larger companies that want to do business with you also have concerns about your small business’s security maturity. Before they sign any long-term contracts, many want to know that you have a security program in place to protect their assets and interests.

Even when small companies are convinced that they need to set up a security program, many are unsure of where to begin the process. You probably have a general understanding about security, such as the need to for anti-malware software on your network and strong passwords. But there’s more to it than that, and we can help you identify some quick wins that will improve your security posture instantly.

Start defining core security policies.

Start by defining some core IT security policies. A security policy is your company's formal position on a specific security issue. For example, you may establish a security policy that all users on your network need a unique identity. The policy doesn't specify how you'll execute that, but it does provide a roadmap of what needs to be done.

You don't have to write each IT security policy from scratch. There are information security policy templates available (free and paid; check out ours here) that you can use to get started. You don’t need to write a security policy for every security issue. Start with a few security policies as a foundation for a broad but strong security program.

Elevate your password management and access control.

Training employees to create complex passwords is one option to manage network access, but it's not the most secure. Humans are a notoriously weak link in cyber security.

Here are a few better options:

  • Use a company-wide password manager tool. People only need to create and remember one complex passphrase, which lowers the risk of written down password lists. The password manager handles creating and remembering complicated passwords. It provides an added layer of security because it will only autofill the stored website URL. It won't get fooled by a fraudulent, look-a-like website the way humans can. There are plenty of password manager options, such as BitWarden, Dashlane, and LastPass.
  • Require multi-factor authentication (MFA). MFA uses logins and passwords, plus one more piece of authentication (usually a temporary code) before granting access. If a login and password are compromised, access to the resource will be denied without the additional authentication code. Setting up MFA is easy, especially with free MFA apps like Authy or Google Authenticator.
  • Use single sign-on (SSO). You probably use SSO for personal apps already. Any service that lets you use your Google or Facebook sign-on to log on is using SSO. SSO provides security by keeping a person's source identity in as few systems as possible. Using SSO also simplifies managing active and inactive users. When someone separates from the company, disabling their login credentials in the source system will keep them out of any and all connected systems.

These are not mutually exclusive options to elevate password security. Taken together, they provide a simple, secure access control framework.

Schedule regular scans to identify vulnerabilities.

There are two different types of scans you should run. The first is a monthly user audit. This audit clarifies who has access to what systems and data. Early on, when your company only has three people, it's easy to keep track of your users. As you grow and people start to leave, a monthly user audit becomes necessary.

The monthly user audit documents who has access to which systems and with what permissions. The audit will ensure that only people who should have admin rights to a system have them. It will also show if people have access to systems they shouldn't or whether former employees still have active credentials. You can automate user audits with an access rights management tool.

The other regular scan you need to run is a network vulnerability scan. The most critical network scan covers all externally accessible resources. External scans aren't just for companies that host their own web servers. Cloud-based services are external vulnerabilities. As your network expands, your network scan should also expand to cover internal devices.  The network scan will identify potential issues on the network that need remediation. These could be vulnerable devices or suspicious activity.

One common vulnerability found is unpatched software. Staying current with security patches is critical. By definition, the security patch addresses a known vulnerability. That's exactly the sort of entry point bad actors will exploit. Is there some forgotten, unpatched computer on your network that nobody uses? That's the entry point to your network. You can run a daily patch scan with an automated patch management tool.

Organize your data into security tiers.

A core security policy is how you define the security level for different kinds of data. Typically called "tiers," each data tier defines the type of data included, who can access data in that tier and where it can be stored.

There's no fixed number of tiers. A simple place to start is with a three-tier system. The top tier covers your most sensitive data. This is data that you have a legal obligation to protect. The middle tier can include sensitive internal data. This is data that shouldn't be shared publicly or company wide. Think employee salaries or strategic planning documents. The lowest tier is publicly available data.

These tiers can become more granular as your data scope and internal community grow. Your data categorization and management will be especially critical when partnering with larger organizations. If your company will have access to their customer data, you'll need internal controls that protect it.

Use business solutions that provide security out-of-the-box.

You're not in the business of designing security protocols—so use business solutions that embed security into their service. Many of the cloud-based services small businesses use come with some security. This includes email services, like Google and Microsoft 365, and storage services like Amazon 3S or Dropbox.

In some cases, the service can shoulder the full security responsibility by shielding you from the sensitive data. For example, there are specific data security requirements for managing credit card data. Services like Square and Stripe process the payments and you never see the credit card data. Consequently, you have no credit card data to secure.

Establish a response plan and escalation process.

Don't get caught unprepared when a security incident occurs. Define different levels of security incident and what the escalation process is for resolution. Your plan needs to specify who is responsible for handling incident response and who else is involved in the discussions. You want a known group of decision-makers to assess the situation and formulate a specific response and communication plan—quickly.

Keeping Rolling After You Get Your Quick Security Wins.

These are all valuable places to start to raise your company’s security posture quickly. Use them to build momentum towards designing a comprehensive security program and path towards greater security maturity. Here’s a list of 21 things your company things can do quickly to make your security posture even stronger.

USAID West Bank and Gaza recently delivered and installed the first set of greenhouses to residents in the Gaza strip. The greenhouses are helping compensate for the ongoing shortage of fresh vegetables and produce in the region. They are also helping residents by providing extra income.

Mariam Mohammed Abu Jara, a 57-year old widower who lives with her three sons and two daughters, is one of the recipients of the new greenhouses.  As the greenhouse was being installed, she said “I used to plant corn and strawberries on my land and the income was barely enough for my family’s expenses. Now, I’m going to plant all types of vegetables in the greenhouse, it will be more than enough for my family and I’m going to sell the rest of the crops in the market.”

Many residents like Abu Jarad have struggled to make ends meet, but with the installation of the new USAID greenhouses, she and her family will benefit from access to more regular income and better sustenance.

USAID, through the Enterprise Development and Investment Promotion project (EDIP), designed the greenhouses to suit local conditions to meet the pressing humanitarian needs.  They also identified beneficiaries to receive the greenhouses, which were selected based on plot quality, farming skills, marginalization, family size, and income

Through the EDIP project, USAID has installed 86 greenhouses in Gaza.

Are dress codes in workplace important?

Are dress codes important?

It’s a really interesting question. If you sit to go over about dress codes you might result in a debate. Creating a dress code for a workplace could be a tricky thing. Fashion is the word on the day and in such an atmosphere dress codes could be a helping hand.

Why are dress codes put in place?

It’s very important to help keep dress codes in a great office. Young boys and young ladies often dress shabbily without bothering what the planet has to say. A compulsory dress code is able to keep them under control and maintain a decent image in public places.

If no dress codes are maintained inside a workplace then anyone can wear anything of his/her selection. This will distract other employees and have a severe impact on their performance. If a colleague proves to be a distraction the other employees will have trouble concentrating on their function. Dress codes have to be reasonable with regards to the type of work.

Gown Codes for employees

It’s very important that employees sign with neat for work. Some might opt for casual or perhaps formal business attire, but this really is something that will vary greatly from setting to help setting.

Some things which can be completely against dress requirements are:
• Clothing that's an abusive and nasty language
• Tank covers, muscle shirts or halter covers
• Wearing torn trousers and tops
• Caps or caps
• Donning sweaty pants or perspire suits

What things should organisations keep in mind during the time of deciding a dress code?

Dress codes have to be reasonable with regards to the type of work. Before developing a dress ode the employer should ensure actually:
• Job related
• Not treating one particular sex less favorably compared to other
• Not treating one particular race less favorably compared to other

It’s very important that this employer communicates these dress codes towards the employees, for them to follow along with.

Fred Brito story to air Tuesday night on Dateline NBC

Picture%2012.pngProof that everything Fred Brito says isn’t a lie: the one hour Dateline NBC episode about him that he’s been hyping for over a year is scheduled to air this Tuesday, April 24th, at 8pm. From the official site:

Josh Mankiewicz takes viewers inside the mind of someone who’s not just a con man, but also a world-class imposter who has reportedly tricked a state senator, The Red Cross, celebrities, a prestigious medical school and even the Catholic Church.

It will be interesting to see what angle they take, but based on inside tips and a quote from Mankiewicz published last month, I don’t think Brito will be portrayed as heroic:

One of the confounding things about Fred’s story is he has told so many lies to so many people over so many years that even he can’t remember what is true or not.

Fred Brito, now living in Las Cruces, New Mexico, was working in a high paying fund raising position at UCLA in 2005 when he was arrested, and fired, when his employers learned he was hired using an alias and made no mention he was on parole. A couple months later, Brito was again fired from another well paid job doing fundraising with the American Red Cross in Pasadena, where again he was using a false name. Surprisingly, he was able to work there for a month after the LA Times ran a front page expose about him.

The Brito “saga” is indeed fascinating, as the above is merely the tip of the iceberg. I have a timeline of Brito’s exploits on a previous post, with follow up entries here, where I discovered he was leaving comments accusing me of getting him drunk, trying to have sex with him, and stealing his watch… here, where I break the news that he was effectively fired again in New Mexico, from another fundraising gig (albeit a low paying, part time one), for being hired under another assumed name… and here, where the local Las Cruces newspaper finally catches up with what I’ve been reporting here.

On Fred Brito’s current blog “How To Catch a Con”, he boasts of being the “World Renowned Master of the Con” and “The Benevolent Con”, and offers to give seminars to teach people how to proactively keep from hiring guys like him, and provides a list of his accomplishments in decepting employers from the National Kidney Foundation to A Place Called Home (a charity assisting “at-risk” youths).

9 thoughts on “Fred Brito story to air Tuesday night on Dateline NBC”

  1. After two years of working on this hour long segment with Produder, Jessica DeVera, I am glad that it will finally air.

    According to my Publicist (Karen Ammond)and Literary Agent (Bill Gladstone)… whatever DATELINE says… good or bad will just add to the already incredible interest in my upcoming book co-written with me by William “Bill” L. Simon of Los Angeles.

    Already, I have been inundated with requests. I expect to be pretty busy as soon as the segment airs.

    Like I always say…. “The Best is Yet to Come!”

    As of right now we have the book coming out, A feature length Documentary by Michael Wranovics, and a number of other projects under development with other media.

    I start the Seminar Circuit in June… So I hope all of you who have been so infatuated and crazed about my story will come out. Sorry, No free tickets.

    As they say in Show Business…. And thats a WRAP!

  2. Well, he didn’t actually get away with it. He’s served a bunch of time in Canada, California and Arizona.

    One interesting side effect. Since he would otherwise be a neighbor of mine, for the first time I appreciate California’s three-strikes law.

    Who’s doing the mash-up of the Dateline show?

  3. After watching Date Line this evening, I do believe that Fred has changed. I will purchase his book when published.Very interesting!

  4. Yes, there is no doubt “Fred Brito” has changed. And will change again, soon.

    I’m very interested in the new book too! And the new movie, the new seminar series, the new consulting businesses, the new tour on the college lecture circuit, the new not-for-profits, the new Dateline or Geraldo or Jerry Springer.

    In fact, now that I’m thinking about it, maybe what “Fred Brito” really needs is his own fan website so we can all keep track of him, wherever he goes.

  5. Fred…
    Your a Sharp Cat…
    I believe many People are interested in your past and certainly will follow your future. Your a gifted man, so overcoming any stigmas from the past is water downstream. Have You considered getting into advertising? Ad Campaigns?

  6. His story was not interesting, his change for the better is not believable, he got “fired and hired” yet again, his charisma is sorely lacking. He just made his con-face known to lots more people so hopefully there will be fewer suckers. In a few years, he will be crying about how this show ruined his opportunities for legitimate work and thats why he has to sell pot brownies to children.

  7. This hype was started by news boy, and sometimes potential city council candidate,tireless self promoter,sloppy reporter(Read about his latest gaff-or was it an attempt to hurt a competitor?The party in question being the Highland Park News-in the NortheastLA Yahoo Group)Eddie Revira,of The Arroyo Seco Journal, on community activist,and LA County Sheriff employee, Joe Walker’s Yahoo group. And it was blown totally out of proportion. Mr. Revira has even suggested that Fred Britto was a child molester! It has all been childish and hurtful.
    Hurtful to me because a person I had a political disagreement with, a Mr. Robb Schraff, has since used the oppertunity to accuse me of being Fred, on Mr. Walker’s list. I realize it is a cheap attempt to minimize and marginalize my opinion on that community list. I have complained both to Mr.Walker and to Mr.Schraff, to no avail.They laugh at me.
    Now, ironically,it is the same senseless,vindictive ranqour between nieghbor’s on Mr. Walker’s group,that has lended more popular exposure of a con-man,who wanted just that,exposure!
    Are you satisfied, NortheastLA Yahoo Group?

7 Tips on How to Get More Views on YouTube

In a Hurry? Click Here to Download the PDF Version

As many of you probably already know, YouTube can send a lot of traffic to your blog. I recently read some amazing statistics about YouTube. Did you know that:

  • Over 60 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube every minute!
  • YouTube receives over 4 billion views daily
  • YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine online

Your ability to tap into YouTube can greatly increase your chances for success on your blog. I have been actively uploading YouTube videos for over 3 years, here are a few tips for you :

 How to Get More Views on YouTube

1. Create more videos! I know this isn’t profound, but hear me out. The more videos you have uploaded, the more chance you have of one really taking off. Anytime I write a blog post that I am unable to fully explain with text, I create a short video and add it to YouTube. This not only increases engagement with blog readers, but it can send more traffic to my blog post from those who found me on YouTube.

2. Create catchy, keyword-rich titles. As mentioned earlier, YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine. People are searching for videos to answer their question. Be sure to add good keyword phrases into your title.

3. Add keyword-rich content into the description. The description area is a great place to optimize your video. I always try to summarize the video with at least a paragraph or two. Again, use keyword phrases.

4. Add close captioning by transcribing your video. This is something I have recently begun to do. I hope to write an entire post on this in the future. YouTube gives you the option to upload a transcript of your video and turn it into close captions. This indexes the video for SEO purposes. You can even do a search on YouTube and if the video has a “transcript” the search engine picks up the exact spot in the video where that phrase was mentioned.

5. Optimize your tags with the right keywords. The tags area is another place to optimize your video for the YouTube search engine. You can increase your YouTube views by adding keyword-rich tags. For ideas, do a search with your targeted keyword phrase and find the tags that other videos are using.

6. Embed your YouTube video on your blog. Always, always embed your YouTube video on your blog. You want to drive traffic back to your main hub, which is your blog. Also, I am beginning to notice a cool thing that is happening. Google is showing a thumbnail of YouTube videos right on the search results page. Notice the picture below for an example. I bet more people want to click on my link over the one above that has no video thumbnail.

How YouTube Videos Show Up In Search

7. Share video link on your social networks. Don’t forget to promote your video to your fans and followers on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, etc. Doing so can increase your views to your YouTube videos.

As you can see, there is a lot that can go into just adding one video on YouTube. Do not let this discourage you from getting more videos uploaded. You can always go back and optimize your videos later. YouTube give you the option to edit just about anything.

What have you done to increase your views on YouTube? Please comment below.

BBM on a Growth Curve in the Middle East

BBM / 12.07.15 / Matthew Talbot

BBM middle east

The Middle East continues to be an extremely strong market for BBM. The entire region is a solid contributor to our worldwide user base, with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia being the most active. We’re constantly working to add more value for our customers there – such as subscriptions and local content.

BBM Middle East

Steady growth

The Middle East has long been a hot spot for BBM, and the trend continues with the region continuing to grow in all countries. Middle Easterners have especially embraced our multi-platform strategy, with BBM on Android and iOS now accounting for 88% of BBM users in the region.

We already have a large customer base, and we believe there’s a big opportunity to grow the base even further. More people are coming online for the first time in the region, where mobile penetration numbers are in the 35-70% range, and they all are looking to use social “chat” applications such as BBM.

When we talk about the Middle East, we tend to think about Saudi Arabia and the UAE because those two countries comprise 80% of our market. But the surrounding markets are growing fast. Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman have experienced rapid growth, thanks to our availability on Android and iOS, and now make up almost 20% of our monthly active users in the region. As BBM is so solidly established in the Middle East already, the network effect will help bring more of these new users to the platform.

In October alone, users in the region installed BBM over 1 million times! We’re helping spur that growth with mobile application install campaigns and other marketing activity, but it’s also happening organically – the results of our highly engaged user base pulling friends and family into BBM. People are installing BBM because of the fantastic service we provide and the great features and functionality that we keep adding.

Activity in the BBM Shop

With over 30 million views each month and 150 million stickers sent and received, the Middle East is also an exciting region for the BBM Shop. Our customers in the region love our localized sticker packs, like Arab Emotions.

BBM stickers Arab Emotions

Our suite of BBM subscription services is also very popular. Of particular interest is the Custom PIN subscription, which allows users to choose their very own BBM PIN that’s easy for them and friends to remember. Personal identification numbers, or PINs, provide an extra measure of control to BBM users, enabling them to keep their identities private even with BBM Contacts.

We are also very excited to continue the push for more sponsored content in the Middle East as well as more localized sticker packs. We’ll be announcing more of these additions soon.

BBM advertising

The Middle East, and Saudi Arabia in particular, is a key market for the BBM advertising business. In Dubai recently, we’ve seen some very interesting digital media campaigns. The region as a whole is shifting towards digital advertising and programmatic ad buying. (“Programmatic” refers to using software to purchase digital advertising instead of the traditional process involving proposals, negotiations among advertisers and publishers, and manual insertion orders). The shift is real, but we’re not seeing the huge transfer in budgets like we are in the US and UK, for example.

To support this trend in the region, we are going live with our Middle East Private Market Place (PMP) and are in the process of lining up buyers who will plug into our engaged user base via the Smaato exchange. In addition, we‘ve run recent campaigns for brands such as Coca-Cola and General Motors. We also launched our first bulletin for, an online marketplace for the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Like in our African markets, BBM has an established and engaged user base, plus the services and content locals want to attract new users and advertisers to the platform. BBM is quickly becoming a tool for engaging with all aspects of the connected world.

Wellbeing Pillar 5. Self-Discipline

Following our Pastoral Programme , we watched this interesting video about How Happiness is dependent on self-discipline.

Self-discipline, or self control, means taking possession of our own mind. The power of thought is the only thing over which and human being has complete unquestionable control. We have the power of the self-determination, the ability to choose what out thoughts and action will be. If you direct your thought and control your emotions, you will ordain your destiny.

Take charge of your life. You are what you think !

Talking about Safe and Responsible Choices on a Sunny Sunday.

Today some of the girls went to the pool in Concha to enjoy the sun. They wanted to go to the lake, but because of some of their choices this week, they were not allowed and this allowed me to discuss with them the fact that ‘’ When we make undisciplined choices, there are consequences. Same for disciplined choices, only that the consequences are positive ‘’.

A few minutes ago we gathered together in the living room and discussed about it. The girls realised that if they want to be happy they have to make good choices, have self discipline and  lead their lives more responsible. Life is a school that never ceases to teach us and that we are the master of our future and it if we don’t work well towards it the outcome will probably not be an enjoyable one.

We hope they take every word with them for life and start rethinking about their dure choices.

Well-being 5 Pillar. Decision Making. Consequences. Mistakes. The adolescent brain.

Following our Well-Being Programme, today’s conversation was about decision making and consequences.

Decision making is the process of making choices by identifying a decision, gathering information, and assessing alternative resolutions. Using a step-by-step decision-making process can help us make more deliberate, thoughtful decisions by organizing relevant information and defining alternatives.

The Consequences of Choice: The Final Step in Decision Making

Before moving ahead with a decision, it is imperative to consider possible adverse consequences of feasible alternatives. The negative consequences of any action are as tangible as its benefits, sometimes more so. Once a decision has been made and implemented, any of its negative effects will eventually become real problems. The effects of decisions—good or bad—always outlive the decision-making process that produced them.

We all make mistakes . Helping teenagers learn from their mistakes

In today’s world where we tend to focus on success and money, mistakes are frowned on. This attitude has been past on to our teenagers. Some parents don’t expect their teens to make a mistake or fail at something. If their teen does make a mistake, the consequences can be severe.

Teenagers are very aware of the pressure on them to succeed and never make a mistake. Many teens who make mistakes are terrified of telling their parents because they fear their reaction. Some teens even consider suicide if they failed a test at school. Teens feel this pressure because parents arrange for tutors so they will get good grades. Also parents are sending their teens to courses to prepare them for the SAT test and parents are also arranging for consultants to help their teens get into good colleges. This is a great deal of pressure and stress.

Think back to when your son or daughter was learning to stand or walk. When the child fell, you would tell them good job for trying and keep trying because you will get it. We say this all the time to our little children. However, for some reason when that little child becomes a teenager, mistakes are not as acceptable and often teens get into trouble for making a mistake.

Yes, as a teen their mistakes get bigger and can be very serious. Obviously if a teenager made a mistake of shop lifting or driving while drunk, these are very serious issues and deserve negative consequences the first time they occur. However, if the mistake is they forgot to do their homework or they came home 20 minutes after curfew, these are not as serious and do not require a severe consequence. Remember the consequence needs to be related to the mistake. If it is too severe or if there is no consequence, the teen will not learn anything.

As parents, we need to remember that teens are starting to learn about relationships and how to handle responsibilities as adults. When they were younger they needed to learn how to walk and had to be toilet trained. We were patient with them as little children, why not be patient with them as teens?

When your teenager makes a normal life mistake, instead of getting mad or frustrated look at it as a teaching opportunity and a bonding opportunity. When your teen makes a mistake this gives you an opportunity to discuss what type of adult you would like to see them mature in to and what values as an adult you hope they will have. It is also a chance to grow closer because if you talk with your teen it give you the opportunity to learn about them and for your teen to learn about you.

We also  watched this interesting  video about the adolescent brain by Dan Siegel

It’s not so easy being an adolescent these days. We become aware of the world around us, are flooded with input through digital media about our extended global family, and learn about the world’s intense and overwhelming problems. And even more, puberty’s onset is getting earlier, and the time between our childhood dependence and adult responsibility over the last century has moved from a couple of years to a dozen or more.

For adolescents, this means that the pruning down of existing neurons and the laying down of myelin sheaths connecting the remaining linked neurons will continue years after we stop referring to them as “teenagers”

The transition to the Intelligent Healthcare Enterprise receives big push

SAP Extends Innovation Commitment for SAP S/4HANA

On Feb 04, 2020, SAP’s co-CEO Christian Klein shared the announcement that SAP has committed to maintenance for SAP S/4HANA until the end of 2040. At the same time, SAP will provide mainstream maintenance for SAP Business Suite 7 core applications – including SAP Patient Management – until the end of 2027, followed by optional extended maintenance until the end of 2030.

In my first blog post I will try to outline implications for our customer base and depict possible business strategies going forward.

Choice and Investment Protection

In a nutshell: In 2026 and 2027 mainstream maintenance for SAP Patient Management continues without further action needed. Following this phase, SAP offers customers the choice of how to continue from 2028 onwards.

Customers needing support for e.g. their longer application conversion phases to SAP S/4HANA can leverage the proven extended maintenance offering. This comes with a premium of two percentage points and requires an additional maintenance agreement to be signed. It will be available for the latest three Enhancement Packages starting 2028 and ends at the end of 2030.Customers who have decided for the extended maintenance by the end of 2027, but choose to carry on with their SAP Business Suite 7 software systems will automatically be transferred to the customer-specific maintenance model.

What does this mean to SAP Patient Management customers?

Suddenly, the announcement addresses critical customer feedback providing clarity and guidance. Today, SAP Patient Management (SAP IS-H) customers who wish to keep their current solution, can do so under mainstream maintenance until 2027, with the option for extended maintenance until 2030.

The commitment gives customers required flexibility to choose transition options and timelines tailored to their specific needs and helps shifting focus on our next generation healthcare product portfolio. Our plans for our next generation offering remains unchanged, as we plan to deliver the first service SAP Patient Accounting cloud service in early 2021 (see our roadmaps)

Act now and take immediate advantage of SAP S/4HANA – the right approach is crucial

The good message is that customers can start their move to SAP S/4HANA now!  Depending on their existing SAP and non-SAP landscape the question arises on the deployment model to be chosen for the roll-out. If you interested in personal insights of a SAP S/4HANA transformation, here is a great customer example.

You already might know, SAP S/4HANA will be the core component for patient financials within our next generation product portfolio. Thus it is key to be capable to interact with all SAP S/4HANA deployment models incl. hybrid. In this regard corresponding services are built leveraging the healthcare industry standard HL7 FHIR® for communication.

In parallel to our next generation product development, we plan extending SAP Patient Management towards HL7 FHIR® as well. This opens additional options for the future as SAP IS-H can now e.g. be easily be connected to any clinical system and we are capable to replace patient finance, leveraging brand-new SAP S/4HANA, just to name a few options.

The most recent transition path might be via an interim a side-by-side deployment. This would be for those customers who in the short-term want to operate SAP Patient Management for patient admin and billing but using SAP S/4 HANA for patient financials and procurement. In order to provide more insight into the Side-by-Side deployment model and to give a clear scenario-based recommendation, we released an “Implementation Guide” covering the subject.

Overall, the side-by-side approach is broken down into two core scenarios.

  • replacing SAP ERP by SAP S/4HANA
  • remotely connect SAP IS-H to SAP S/4HANA Financial Accounting and Logistics

Fast mover or follower, transition variants

As you will have noticed from above the foundation to yet master the challenges of becoming a digital and intelligent healthcare provider enterprise have been laid. Also, of utmost importance: CIO’s and IT departments are now in lead ensuring strategic business goals can be swiftly reached and supported looking into the most sustainable and innovative technologies to ultimately provide business value.

So far so good. But here’s one of the toughest decisions customers need to take: Should I lead or follow? On an individual level there are certainly good rationales for both. Finally, what counts is achieving the business objective at reasonable investment, reaching the finish line.

The point I neutrally wanted to make is that an appropriate business transformation strategy with minimal disruption is an individual business decision and typically requires tailored timing, roadmap, realistic validation of business needs and priorities. Because of Christian’s announcement, customers now can choose different timing routes to become digital and even more important getting ready for the intelligent economy.

To share a recent reality – we are about to create plenty of examples of successful early birds. Just as we speak, we support ‘Fast Mover’ customers to make their move to S/4HANA, implementing SAP IS-H as side-by-side deployment. Part of this strategic commitment is the benefit of using SAP S/4HANA as starting point for a later transformation onto our next generation healthcare product portfolio.

Other customers might spend more time and effort on further optimizing and consolidating their recent system landscape, considering a strategic transition directly onto our next generation healthcare product portfolio after 2027 or even later.

At the end for today and with special thanks to Herbert Dürschke!: practical example of possible transition variants….

Thanks for reading! Hope u found it valuable time invested – more to come in my blog post on the HL7 FHIR® adapter for SAP IS-H.

Happy to address any comments or feedback you might have.

Cycle Of Hair Growth And Details About Follicles

At any Stage of our life, only 10% of hair is in resting phase. They Fall off in 2-3 months and the brand new hair grows in a complete time of two-6 years. About ninety% of the hair grows on our scalp at a time and They grow at a rate of 1 cm. per month.

Normally hair lasts for 2 to 4 years in males and four to 6 years in Women.

Hair Inside Structure : Deep Inside The hair follicle, the hair kinds inside a hair bulb and protrube and grow outside.

Any Technique of hair improvements like shampooing, conditioning, reducing, solar publicity does not impact the rate of grwth of the hair.

There Are three phases of hair development –

1. Anagen which takes a time of about 1000 days or three years.

2. Catagen lasting for 10 days.

3. Tologen for almost 3 months.

Anagen consists of the beginning of growth of hair and Tologen is the end i.e. trhe shedding phase of hair. The Hair bulb goes on coming exterior from the begin to the shedding phase. Hair groth is effected by the seasonal adjustments, i.e. hair grows more quicker in winter than in summer because of the seasonal change. In the Catagen section, Hair progress is stopped for a small time and no pigment is produced at this time.

The time of Anagen Section is often fastened and and is decided genetically and can also be accountable for the length of the hair. The no. of Hair Follicles in a human head counts approximately a hundred,000. Every Follicle produces hair for about 20 instances in the lifetime. In a new born child, the hair follicles grow hair in a Unison, i.e. all at a similar time however as time passes, the follicles produce hairs at different times.

If a hair is Plucked from the head, the follicle is not ruptured but it surely begins to provide a new hair. As age increases, the shedding of follicles is evidently seen in most of the people in the top of the pinnacle and in addition within the forehead. The Hair does not develop in a definite straight manner but makes the follicle to face in some constant angle. Relying on this angle, the Hair are always set to lie. The Stream is normally in a twisted manner however it is then influenced by the way in which of combing of hair by people.

Finally, Hair grows at a gradual price, so utmost care is needed to forestall them from shedding.

Kristy Cox to Mountain Fever

Mountain Fever Records has announced that they have signed Australian country and bluegrass singer Kristy Cox to the label. A new album, helmed by her long-time producer, Jerry Salley, is expected later this year.

Her previous bluegrass releases have done well in the US and Australia, and her 2016 album, Part Of Me, was very favorably reviewed here at Bluegrass Today.

Mark Hodges with Mountain Fever says that the chance to have both Cox and Salley on board was a simple choice to make.

“We’re ecstatic to be working with Kristy and Jerry. Of course, Jerry’s reputation as an incredibly successful songwriter and producer precedes him, so when he brought Kristy to our attention, signing her seemed to fall into the ‘no-brainer’ category fairly quickly. Her vocals are strong and her talent is unwavering. We’ve heard some of the preliminary music they are working on and expect the bluegrass community will accept it with open arms. It’s pretty fantastic stuff!”

And Kristy is delighted to be associated with a prominent US bluegrass label.

“I am extremely excited to join the Mountain Fever family. I am blessed to be in such great company with all of the fellow artists on the roster. I know I am in great hands with Mark and the team and really looking forward to working on this new project with both Mountain Fever and my label family in Australia. Bring on 2018!”

A new Kristy Cox album is expected sometime later in the fall of 2017.

Net Builder Caddis / Hydropsyche Caddis

Unlike many other caddis species, Hydropsyche Caddis (or net-spinning caddisflies) don’t build a case in which to live. Instead, they build a rough shelter of gravel and plant debris that they attach to the sides of rocks.

The term “net-spinner” derives from the spider-like web these caddis larvae weave at the front of their shelters. These silken nets strain the larvae’s food from the currents. The need for current to bring them food means that nearly all net-spinners live in flowing waters (a few species occur along wave-washed shores of lakes).

Among the net-spinning caddis, four genera from the Hydropsyche Caddis are most important in the West.

Habitat and Life Cycle of Hydropsyche Caddis

The Hydropsyche Caddis prefer moderate to large sized streams with warmer temperatures, somewhat slower currents, and smaller substrate.

Like all caddis, net-spinners pass through four stages of development: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Most Hydrospyche Caddis require one year to develop from egg to adult. Some Hydropsyche Caddis pass through two generations in a single year.

The exact emergence periods are difficult to predict because of the variety of species and habitats. In general, hatches are sparse in early spring. Often, the first large emergences occur during the last weeks of May through June. The heaviest activity often occurs in July and August and some continue emerging into September and October.

Larval Stage – Hydropsyche Caddis

The larvae of net-spinning caddis periodically crawl out of their shelters, let go, and drift downstream 40, 50, or even 100 feet. This activity occurs on a daily cycle, and peaks near sunrise and sunset. Entomologists call this “behavioral drift” and speculate that it functions to disperse insect populations, thereby relieving competition and allowing the colonization of underutilized areas.

For the fishermen, it means increased food for trout, making nymph fishing during periods of peak drift very effective.

Some Hydropsyche larvae throw a twist into normal drift behavior. Instead of simply letting go of the substrate, they attach a silk thread to the bottom and lower themselves downstream on a “life line.” In his book “Caddisflies”, Gary LaFontaine discusses his increased success fishing with net-spinning caddis larva patterns when he colored the last 18 inches of his leader white to suggest this silk anchor line of the natural.

Pupal Stage – Hydropsyche Caddis

Once the larvae are mature, they seal themselves inside their shelter and transform into pupae. The pupae remain sealed inside until ready to emerge into adults. The complete development of the pupae typically requires four to six weeks.

When ready to emerge, the pupae swim to the surface, which is perhaps the most vulnerable period of the insect’s life cycle. Trout feed selectively on the rising pupae and imitating them is one of the most effective methods to use during a caddis hatch.

Peak emergence activity occurs in the late morning or early afternoon during the spring and fall. In mid-summer heavy hatches occur in the late afternoon and evening.

Adult Stage – Hydropsyche Caddis

Adult Hydropsyche Caddis spend most of their time hiding on streamside vegetation. Mating occurs on the foliage, and unless a wind blows them over the water they are unavailable to fish.

Once egg laying begins, however, their vulnerability increases dramatically.

Large swarms of gravid females congregate over the water from afternoon to late evening. To lay their eggs, they dive into the water and swim to the bottom, where they deposit strings of eggs on the substrate. Once egg laying is complete, they swim feebly back to the surface.

Such behavior makes them easy targets for feeding trout and an important stage for fly fishers to imitate. On rivers like the South Platte or Arkansas, some of the fastest and most consistent fishing of the season occurs during the last hour of light when the Hydropsyche’s lay their eggs.
