Who am I? What do I do?

My name is Tony Robinson. On the twitters and the infosec community I’m known as da_667. I’m a Senior Security Analyst at a rather large company. At the end of the day, I manage the IDS for the company’s corporate data network and interface with monitoring, incident response and forensics frequently.

My focus is in packet analysis, IDS and NSM in general, but also like to do malware analysis whenever I’m given something fun to play with.

What hardware do you use? And what Software?

A lot of my heavy lifting I do at home. I have a Whitebox supermicro server I built as my multi-purpose VM lab. I’ve named her Valhalla. She handles everything I throw at her.

Hardware Specs:

Software - VMware ESX 5.1 running:

You might be wondering why I run two PF Sense firewalls and it’s not for CARP/HA. One firewall is segmentation from my physical home network to the virtual networks, while a second is an Extremely strict firewall to my “containment lab”, which contains VMs hosting malware analysis tools that I use for malware analysis and detonation/observation.

In addition to this, I have a gaming desktop running Win7 to run vSphere client and mremoteng to manage all these things. I also have a Macbook from my workplace for doing heavy lifting while I’m on the go:

What would be my dream setup?

Well, I’d love a VM server that had a supported RAID controller. At which point, I’d probably drop 2x 128GB SSDs in the box for a RAID 1, and 2x 2TB platter drives for a storage array in RAID 1. Mo’ RAID means Mo’ uptime.

Is there anything I do to streamline my workflow?

For my VM lab at home, I manage my VMs from a Windows box with vanilla vSphere client, and a special piece of software called “mremoteng”. This software has been the single best thing for managing multiple VMs I could have ever asked for. Support for RDP, ICA, Telnet, SSH, tabbed sessions, multiple sessions, and full session configuration for Telnet/SSH via PuTTY sessions (this means support for private keys via putty’s key management tools, etc.). If you manage a large mix of virtual machines on ESX, use mremoteng, it’s friggin awesome.

The other bit of general advice I can recommend: a lot of my testing VMs need to be rebooted frequently. Maintain good snapshots, ensure you have an NTP server configured, and EVERY time you revert a Linux VM, stop the ntp service, run ntpdate to sync to your ntp server, then restart ntp. You’ll thank me later. Some things act VERY odd if the date/time on the VM is too far out of sync. Alternatively I think there are options to sync your VMs to the system’s time.

Is there anything you want to plug?

If you need a quick way to set up a Snort IDS sensor for a wide variety of Linux distributions, consider using my pet project autosnort :)

Would like to give a shout-out to my local hackerspace Unallocated Space and thank “The Security Setup” twitter account for the opportunity to talk about my setup :)

Need to boost demand, funding in housing, say realtors

New Delhi, Apr 5
Real estate developers and consultants today said the RBI’s decision to keep key policy rates unchanged was on expected lines but the sector was looking for some encouragement to boost funding and demand in the sluggish housing segment.
Realtors’ body NAREDCO’s President Niranjan Hiranandani said the RBI’s policy was on “expected line”.
“RBI needs to give meaning to grant of infrastructure status to affordable housing. Status quo in monetary policy leaves real estate sector struggling to fund housing for all,” said Jaxay Shah, President, CREDAI National.
Ramesh Nair, CEO and Country Head, JLL India, said the real estate sector was looking for some encouragement that would move the needle towards accelerated growth.
“The apex bank could have directed the lenders to keep the MCLR (Marginal Cost of funds based Lending rate) below 10 per cent or put a cap on the same for home loans,” he said, adding that “a REPO rate revision leading to lower home loan rates could have given sentimental boost to end user buyers”.
Shishir Baijal, CMD, Knight Frank India, said the impetus for stimulating housing demand does not lie on interest rate alone but on other reforms and steps taken by various stakeholders.
“Measures such as implementation of RERA in true letter and spirit, palatable payment plans for home buyers and relatively cheaper house prices are some of the critical determinants to revive the real estate sector”, he added.
Saha group Director (Marketing, Construction & Sustainability) Aunirban Saha said: “The policy is stable and inflation is contained at 4% to 4.5% rate. This would help in better planning and management. By not increasing the home loan interest rates, we believe that buyers would now be more attracted in investing their money on buying homes and this in turn would contribute to the growth of the realty sector in India”.
Deepak Kapoor, Director, Gulshan Homz, said the decision of RBI to keep the rates unchanged is a clear indication that the apex bank wants to maintain its vigilant approach.
Manoj Gaur, MD, Gaurs Group, said a parallel cut in repo rate and CRR would have brought a win-win situation for the banks. Gaurav Gupta, Director, SG Estates, said the reduction in rates would have ultimately been advantageous to the customers.
Abhishek Bansal, Executive Director, Pacific Group, said “as we have just began with the financial year, a rate cut today would have allowed potential buyers to plan better for their investments in the property market for the current financial year.”
Saya group CMD Vikas Bhasin said there is a room for financial institutions to cut down on their lending rates for their customers as they have have not passed on benefits of previous policy rate cuts.
Dhiraj Jain, Director, Mahagun Group, said any reduction in lending rate allows the sentiments in real estate to improve.

Office Building Cleaning Service

Here at Simple Clean, we understand that there are many commercial cleaning services out there, and all seem to say the same thing- “We are the best”, or “We are extremely detailed and professional.”

Those phrases are all well and good, but none of them dive deep into the PASSION AND PAIN businesses have when looking for a professional cleaning service.

Don’t YOU want a service that can be held accountable for their actions, so YOU as the business owner or office manager do not have to deal with another problem or sketchy cleaning service? It should be as simple as making a phone call, meeting with an awesome employee from Simple Clean, and chatting about how we can make YOUR life simpler. The rest is on us to do the job, and create a stress free environment once we establish a healthy and happy relationship.

Let’s take a peek at a few benefits you would get from using Simple Clean:

Retaining Employees- One of the major problems we hear in this business is, “I don’t know who is coming in to clean this day or the next, and it’s really frustrating.” Now picture a company who has Family First as a core value, pays close attention to reducing turnover rate, and whose employees absolutely LOVE the job they do. Don’t EVER worry about a carousel of employees filtering through your office, that’s not us.

A Guarantee that actually works for YOU- Due to our "One Time Simple System", YOU won’t EVER have to be held accountable for our service, period. It might be difficult, but you can work with a cleaning service that doesn’t ask much from its customer! Yes, there is such a thing. If we miss something from your CORE FOUR problem areas, we take the cleaning off your bill, period. Who else does that? We answer-No one.

Products- You should know EXACTLY what products are being used in your office, especially if you are getting desks and phones cleaned. Putting a phone up to your ear covered in a bleach cleaner, should not be on your to-do list that day at the office. Your business will receive a list of the products we use for specific jobs and more importantly the environmental standard we uphold. The more you know about your cleaning services products, the more comfortable you will feel and the better your employees will feel. This will effectively increase employee productivity in the workplace, instead of complaining about that weird chemical smell!

Call us TODAY to schedule your FREE estimate and save yourself the headache of filtering through cleaning services and the carousel of their employees. Loving Life with Simple Clean.

/, PGA, Writers/The Real Story Behind Why I Cheer For Jack Nicklaus and Root Against Tiger Woods

The Real Story Behind Why I Cheer For Jack Nicklaus and Root Against Tiger Woods

By |2018-11-08T22:38:24+00:00April 9th, 2011|2 Comments

I’m going to come clean and shy away from standard journalism that refuses to play favorites, take sides, or admit to a piece of one’s own personal fandom.  Full disclosure: I’m a die-hard fan of Jack Nicklaus, and I have been for my entire life.

Today, I’m going to finally reach out and tell the world why.

First, here’s a little more about me.  Golf is in my family’s blood.  My Dad likely could have gone pro when he was younger, but it was a different time back then.  He loves the game, and still plays as much as he can today – and still kicks my butt every now and again.  OK, fine, most of the time.  Living up north, I don’t get nearly as much practice as the old man does.

Being an admirer and avid participant of the game, I grew up with a love for Augusta National and The Masters tournament.  Like many, I had dreams of wearing a green jacket some day.

1986: KP Watches The Golden Bear Make History

The 1986 Masters was a great bonding experience for KP and his Dad

My appreciation for The Masters grew ten fold when I watched Nicklaus pull off his miraculous run to win the tournament in 1986.  Having a similar demeanor, complexion and look of my Dad at the time, it was almost like I was watching the old man make the run himself.  That, plus having his son Jackie caddying that weekend, it pushed a 9-year old kid to dream of himself carrying the bag for his Dad on the way to winning a green jacket.

1993: KP Travels to Augusta

Seven years after his historic Masters victory, Jack Nicklaus was once again at the top of the leaderboard at The Masters, though only after the first round.  Still, the Golden Bear hung around for a while, and I was there to witness it.  My Dad and I went to The Masters that year, and it was a great bonding experience for us – the year where Bernard Langer won and Fred Couples was the reigning champion.  The weather was crappy, but the constant rain and mud wouldn’t put a damper on the time we had amidst the picture perfect fairways and blooming azaleas.  Ever since, I’ve wanted to get back, and hope that perhaps 2012 can bring me tickets and a trip with my Dad to Augusta again.

1994: KP Meets Jack Nicklaus

I played for my high shool golf team, and we were one of the better teams in the state of Florida.  A number of the high school teams received invites to Arnie’s tournament – the Bay Hill Classic – during the practice rounds.  It was a great opportunity to meet some of the players, interact with them, and watch them work on their game.  It was also an opportunity to step up and receive autographs from some of the legends, too.

Jack Nicklaus was at the tournament that year, and he was obviously a hot commodity.  On every tee box and green, Nicklaus was met by crowds that were reminiscent of the paparazzi chasing down ‘Brangelina’ or Lindsay Lohan.  Via a small bridge, I approached a tee box with a slew of people, and the players had only so much time to sign and say hello, and Nicklaus’ time was up.  Nicklaus said to me I would be the first that he would meet on the following green.  At the time, I was devastated, thinking the golfer I looked up to had blown me off.  But I followed his group to see it through.

At the next green, Nicklaus was met by a swarm of patrons, many pushing hats, papers and programs in his face frantically – and almost rudely.  There must have been 50 or so people rushing to him, nearly twice as much as the last hole.  And that’s when my interest in Jack Nicklaus tripled – much like the Grinch’s heart that one Christmas morning.  Jack sought me out, looking through the crowd and heading to me first, shaking my hand, signing my hat and saying hello.  I realize because of his popularity, I couldn’t sit and talk golf with him, but the fact that he sought me out really said something about him.  Most athletes were too arrogant or preoccupied to really care about anyone else, but the Golden Bear held his promise that day.

In the ’90’s, KP will never forget meeting the Golden Bear during a practice round at the Bay Hill Classic

2008: Tiger Arrograntly Preaches For Majors Record

Nicklaus had his 18 majors set as a record, and the world of golf was firmly in Tiger Woods’ hands.  During an interview with ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt in 2008, Woods was asked a series of questions about golf, winning and retirement.  I can’t forget the fact that he answered a handful of questions simultaneously – and arrogantly – with simply, “19”, the number of majors that he wanted to win, and that was all he cared about.

I get the fact that most of us have a competitive fire and hate to lose.  I’m that way, too.  But with golf, I would just love to be out there and play – and win – as many tournaments as I can, and not just focus on the major record.

While many would instead try to shove the racism card at me, or say that I have issues with Tiger and how he handled himself off the course, I call you out.  That’s simply not true.  Woods has always been classless on the golf course.  He slams clubs and screams expletives that are caught on live national TV with kids watching.  To me, he’s never been much of a role model.  That was well before he decided to parade around as the country’s biggest celebrity man whore, all while being married to one of the most beautiful women on Earth.

Will Tiger Woods win 19 majors, and will you root for him to do so?

As you can now clearly see, Woods has at times been a picture of evil aggressively attacking an idol’s record.  And I’m one that embraces new records and seeing athletes of today rewrite the history books, so blame my own selfishness and how classy I thought Jack Nicklaus was during his time, mixed with my own experiences to cement them in.

On this, the 25th anniversary of Nicklaus’ ’86 Masters title, I felt it necessary to be different and open up about my past sports passions and stories.  Now that I’ve come clean, do you understand my side, or does this opinion just get buried in Rae’s Creek?

I truly believe that Tiger Woods does deserve a second chance to fix his life and his image.  Whether he is on the right path to doing so, I have no idea.  I won’t sit here and tell you that I don’t want to see him right the ship with his personal problems.  It’s the selfish side of me that hopes that when the dust settles, the Golden Bear will remain atop the record books.

Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, I can go back to being unbiased.

If you have any personal opinions about Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus or the PGA Tour, I’d love to hear about it – and as always, thanks for reading and supporting The Wife Hates Sports.

    Thanks REV, yeah it was pretty awesome. Sometime I can tell you about some of the other guys that were great to talk golf with there… the late, great Payne Stewart actually may have been the best of all. He was incredibly funny and engaging to the younger players. Great person, a shame he was taken away from the world so prematurely.

    Well, Tiger was relevant at the Masters this year, and what a final round that was! Please tell me you watched it – unreal finish on the final day.

    Choi played well, but faded… your buddy must have been really sweating that one out into the final hours.

  2. Chris Humpherys April 10, 2011 at 10:07 AM

    That’s a great Bay Hill story, man.

    And you should really go buy yourself a green jacket already. Let me if you need a caddy too. I’ll make sure the golf bag is plenty stocked.

    Oh, and I didn’t answer your poll for a few reasons. Despite all he’s been through, I still find myself pulling for Tiger. I would like to see him get out of this funk. Golf is just better when he’s relevant on Sundays.

    But, a buddy of mine has a 60:1 future on KJ Choi that, if it hits, will pay him $1200 on his $20 investment.

    So let’s just say I have a horse in this race.

Fractures and broken bones Uber Ride Share Accidents Any Chicago accident victims should know that Illinois law sets time limits within which claims for personal injuries must be filed in civil court. This is known as a statute of limitations. In Chicago, an injured party has two years to file a lawsuit for most cases, and that time limit usually begins to run at the time of the accident. Some claims also have a shorter statute of limitations, such as claims against a city, the state or government agencies, making it important to hire a personal injury attorney in Chicago.

SEO by DAGMAR Marketing June 2015 Other Cases After being injured in a car accident, the first question many people want answered is “who will pay for my medical expenses?” The person who causes the automobile accident (or their insurance company) is ultimately financially responsible for all of the reasonable and medically necessary accident-related medical expenses. In most cases, the medical expenses are not paid by the at-fault driver (or their insurance company) at the time the medical expenses are incurred. Instead, in most cases, reimbursement for the medical expenses is one part of a single lump sum settlement fund that is negotiated only after all accident-related medical care is complete. Therefore, in the short term, (before the final settlement) in most cases, the medical expenses need to be covered by some other source. The choice made among potential payment sources for medical care may have different implications on the personal injury case.

Ruslan Kondratyuk Founding Partners Email * After enduring a traumatic car crash, many accident victims are too shaken to even think about hiring an attorney. But hiring a car accident lawyer is essential after sustaining even a seemingly minor injury in an auto accident if you want to protect your right to fair compensation. Navigating the no-fault insurance system and accident laws can be complex, and a seasoned attorney can help you understand your options, pursue your claim, and defend you against unfair settlement offers from insurance companies. It’s important to remember that insurance companies are first and foremost a business, so insurers will often try to pay the minimum amount of compensation possible to secure maximum profit for their company. Frequently, their settlement will not be enough to cover the cost of medical treatment and basic repairs.

Chart: Cost Structure Benchmarking – Sector vs Personal Injury Lawyers & Attorneys Award-Winning Personal Injury Law Firm in The Bay Area Personal Injury (info) Most personal injury cases are handled on a contingent fee basis.  That means the client does not pay for the lawyer’s services on an hourly basis but instead pays the lawyer based upon a percentage of the recovery.  Lawyers in North Carolina generally charge between 33.3% and 40% of the recovery for their services.  We typically find that our clients receive more total dollars in their pocket when we handle their case as opposed to when they go about it on their own.  Folks who handle a case on their own often receive significantly less in total dollars and those dollars tend to get swept away because of medical liens and other charges.  We work with the care team to minimize the liens, maximize third-party recoveries and put as much compensation as possible into our clients’ hands.  Most folks would not take any amount of money to voluntarily go through what they experience in a wreck or from a defective product.  Since personal injury lawyers generally charge the same percentage amount, hire a law firm that can get the most dollars for your claim and allow you to receive the maximum compensation.

To the left are six specific examples of how Tom Byrnes “made it happen” and brought a major or especially complicated initiative to fruition. The case studies at left detail how he helped bring success or victory to a Virginia city, a coalition of elected officials and public policy advocates, a government RFP respondent, a Virginia county that had never engaged in a public-private partnership, a Virginia real estate developer pursuing a massive revitalization project and a candidate’s campaigns for public office in Virginia.

7 “Romantic” Hollywood Lies

Today’s post comes from a frequent TM contributor, Frank Powell. While it’s easy to know how unrealistic our culture is about romance, that doesn’t mean we aren’t absorbing it anyway. Take a look at today’s 7 lies and consider if you’re believing any of them.

I’m rounding the final turn in my 6th year of marriage. Despite the struggles Tiffani and I faced the last 12 months, I can say with certainty we’re closer and enjoyed one another more in year six than any year so far.

Why? First, struggles inevitably do one of two things: tear a relationship apart or pull it closer together. For that reason, I’m thankful for the hardships we’ve experienced. A deeper understanding of life and its meaning go through struggle and hardship.

Another factor leading to growth in our marriage – maybe a product of our struggles, I’m not sure – is the realization that most, maybe all, of what I believed about love, romance, and sex going into marriage was a lie.

I have years of movies, songs, books, and unfortunately the church, to blame for this. There’s no shortage of voices in our culture when it comes to love, and they speak quite authoritatively on all matters of love and romance: what to value in a relationship, how to handle conflict, what real love looks like, the importance of sex, and so on.

The cultural perceptions of love speak so loud, in fact, and with such consistency that we would be naive to think we don’t enter into romantic relationships with a picture based largely on our surroundings. “Love has a history,” and we’re influenced by the voices more than we realize.

For nearly five years of my marriage, I listened, and my marriage suffered. Chalk it up to perseverance or maturity, but this year I stopped listening. And while Tiffani and I have by no means arrived, our relationship is healthier today than ever.

Regardless of your position in life’s journey – married, dating, single, whatever – tuning out the cultural lies about love, romance, and sex is essential to experiencing healthy relationships, and, in particular, healthy marriages.

1. Love is a feeling.

Almost all cultural signs point to this dangerous lie, that love is something you fall in and out of, a volcanic eruption of emotions and passion.

After seven years of marriage, I can say with 100% certainty love is not a feeling. Some days, I feel like throwing a temper tantrum because this marriage thing is hard, really hard. Magically, however, I feel different the next day, or after sex. This is the reality of feelings. They come and go, kind of like the wind, except that’s giving feelings to much credit. The day Tiffani and I were married, we made vows to one another. Countless times, we’ve rested on our vows because that’s what love does, it never fails.

Love is more powerful than failure and disappointment, it perseveres through sin and even death. That version of love – the real one – doesn’t sell tickets or books. It’s not popular or trendy.

But really, what are we saying about love, and more importantly, God, if it rests on a foundation as weak and shallow as feelings?

2. Opposites attract.

I can almost hear my grandmother saying it now. “You know, son. It’s like they always say…opposites attract.”

Who is “they”?

In our culture, magnetic attraction, butterflies and such, is a confirmation of true love, almost as if values and commonalities are insignificant.

Tiffani and I are opposites in many ways, no doubt. I’m an introvert. She’s outgoing. My thoughts are scattered and abstract. She a planner. I’m mostly wrong. She’s mostly right. You get the idea.

But despite the many ways we’re different, it’s the one thing we agree on that brought us together (and continues to do so today).

When I met Tiffani, the magnetic attraction was there. But I’m convinced we wouldn’t have made it without our common love for God. Don’t be fooled by the opposites attract myth. Strong, stable relationships need commonalities to survive, specifically a common faith.

3. If you find the right person, your relationship won’t fail.

Cultural romance makes you believe one person exists for you. And only one. Therefore, your greatest task is finding the one.

When love is about finding the one, it inevitably becomes an idol.

This creates a family of problems. First, you expect perfection from everyone. Flaws of any magnitude are red flags signaling that person is not the one.

Another member of this family is co-dependency. If there’s only one person for you, you can’t lose that person. You need them to be complete and whole. Losing them means you lose love. They become your god. I’m not a relationship expert, but that sounds unhealthy.

Another problem with “the one” thinking is it naively believes failed relationships are “their” fault. It never assumes, in other words, the problem could be the person in the mirror.

Maybe this explains why someone with a track record of break ups or multiple divorces usually believes the next one will work out. You probably know a person or two like this.

This great lie seeps into our minds at a young age. So, you can imagine how I responded when my first year of marriagewas a mixed bag of arguments and failed expectations. At the time, I thought Tiffani was the problem. Turns out the opposite was true.

4. Looks are more important than character.

The cultural picture of men includes qualities like strong, rich, and powerful. Women are painted as beautiful and perfect. Just watch a movie or music video about love. I’ll just say this: if looks or money make your top 5 values in a future spouse, you’re doing it wrong.

My wife is gorgeous. But I didn’t marry her for looks. And she certainly didn’t marry me for money. What I saw in her was a woman whose relationship with God far outweighed her relationship with me. She had values, and she refused to comprise them.

For a relationship to last, you must choose someone who’s identity isn’t found in you. They love you, but they don’t need you. They tell you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear.

5. You can change someone if you try hard enough.

This is the classic example of “Beauty and the Beast.” If I try hard enough for long enough, I can change him (or her). More recently, Frozen featured a song with the words, “He’s a bit of a fixer upper,” as if men are dilapidated real estate whose only hope is Chip and JoJo Gaines. Shoutout to Fixer Upper.

In our culture, the belief that we can change someone is a huge threat to healthy marriages.

7 Things Your Husband Needs (But Won’t Tell You)

You can’t enjoy someone if you’re trying to change them.

You can’t enjoy someone when you’re trying to change or fix them. In my seven years of marriage, this is the greatest lesson I’ve learned. I can’t change Tiffani. But I can change me. Whenever I catch myself wanting her to say or do a certain thing, I stop and ask what this reveals about me.

What you will see more is that when you focus on changing you, the other person changes as well. But you haven’t changed your partner. In fact, your partner hasn’t changed at all. You’ve simply changed your perspective.

You realize your spouse isn’t the problem. You are. Few realizations bring freedom and peace to a marriage like this one.

6. Conflict is temporary. Marriage is easy.

Culture says conflict in relationships is temporary, and all healthy relationships reach a point where everyone is happy, rides unicorns, and chews on Skittles.

In real life, marriage is hard, probably the hardest work you will do. Why? Two broken people are becoming one flesh. This involves tension, and this tension is healthy.

The gospel isn’t a “get out of conflict free” card. Jesus didn’t avoid pain and discomfort. He stepped into it, transformed it, and gave us new life. Marriage is beautiful because, unlike any other relationship on earth, it depicts the gospel.

Jesus followers have an opportunity to live out the gospel in their marriage everyday. Rather than viewing conflict as the second greatest evil (behind cats, of course), conflict is an opportunity to grow and give the world something beautiful, a picture of the gospel, a picture of God.

7. True love will solve your problems, all of them.

Does your life suck? Is your existence meaningless? Are you struggling with porn? Are you insecure and selfish? No worries. I have a quick fix for you.

It’s called love. True love fixes everything, always. Until you find it, your life will continue to suck and you will continue to struggle with porn.

So says culture, at least.

In reality, whatever baggage you carry before finding love follows you into the relationship. If you don’t unload the baggage beforehand, you’re throw it onto your partner. And some of that junk smells like crap.

Love is in desperate need of redemption. Maybe some of the voices are well-intentioned – like youth pastors who reference their “smokin’ hot wives or preachers who promise mind-blowing sex if you abstain from sex before marriage – but we can’t be content with motives. Lies about love impact lives, maybe even eternities.

I’m for love, romance, and sex. I’m for marriage. I sincerely hope yours flourishes.

See Tom Cruise's Best Roles

This month marks the anniversaries of two of Tom Cruise's most memorable roles: There's the one that made him a bona fide movie star—as Maverick in the flight school drama Top Gun, released on May 16, 1986—and the one that cemented his place at the center of a billion-dollar action franchise—as Ethan Hunt in the original Mission Impossible, released on May 22, 1996. But the 53-year-old actor has had enough iconic roles to populate a small village of characters, from a vampire to a brash Hollywood studio exec to a sports agent completed by Renée Zellweger. As Cruise prepares for a slew of potential hits—a sixth Mission Impossible, a reboot of The Mummy and possibly even a Top Gun sequel—here's a look back at his most iconic roles.

Murder Rate Up In England

The Murder rate in England, particularly the capital has risen for the second year runnnig. The incidence of gun crime and other violent crimes also increased by 7% nationwide and 13% in the capital. Metropolitan Police Commisioner, Sir Paul Condon, has said that the increase was due to a change in the way figures were counted, giving a more true picture of how much crime is committed in the capital. He has claimed that in real terms, the numbers of violent crimes has actually been decreasing steadily.

Surviving as a Mars colonist

The first humans on Mars will probably be vegetarian, eating a lot of beans. Mars settlers will rely on their own agriculture, and Wageningen researchers will help future space explorers to survive.

"I am convinced that it is technically possible" says Professor Leo Marcelis. "But it is not easy. And the first people should not be too picky about what to eat." Together with colleagues from Norway, Belgium, Italy, Germany and Ireland, Marcelis is starting a research project on plant cultivation in space.

Read the article in de Volkskrant, a Dutch newspaper.

Statement – Response to Daily Mail Article (May 13th, 2018)

May 13th, 2018

The Office of the Prime Minister has been made aware of a recent media article reporting on a judgment of the English High Court, which concerns allegations that Peter Virdee and Dieter Trutschler engaged in bribery involving Caribbean officials.

Given the seriousness of the innuendo in the article that officials from St. Kitts and Nevis had any involvement in this matter, Dr. The Honourable Timothy Harris states emphatically and unequivocally that since Team Unity was elected, the integrity of the Office of the Prime Minister has at all times been maintained to the highest standards to which the citizens and residents of the Federation are entitled to and must hold their Government.

The judgment references a period of time beginning in 2014.  Prime Minister Harris cannot speak to what may have occurred prior to his assumption of office of the Prime Minister on February 18th, 2015. Prime Minister Harris confirms that the Team Unity Government has not entered into any agreements with the parties referenced in the article.

Prime Minister Harris and Team Unity are committed to upholding the rule of law and protecting the reputation of the Federation at the local, regional and international levels. Protecting and serving the interests of the people of St. Kitts and Nevis is the foundation of how Team Unity governs this nation.

The Prime Minister has consulted with senior legal counsel in an effort to determine the next steps.

Dear Economist

Left on the shelf

Dear Economist,

When purchasing perishable food items I look for those that have the longest “use by” date, even if I intend to consume them immediately. As a result I often bypass items that will be within their “use by” date when I intend consuming them, in preference for items with an even longer shelf life. Can I be accused of being wasteful by not purchasing items with the shortest acceptable shelf life, since I am increasing the likelihood that they remain unsold?
Yours sincerely,
Andrew, London

Undercover Economist

Your number’s up

One thing you can rely on economists to generate is a big bunch of numbers. For that, you can blame a man named William Petty. He developed the first national income accounts, concluding in 1664 that English national income was £40m.

We rely on numbers like those calculated by Petty to help make policy decisions.

First came GDP and inflation, now a plethora of statistics on everything from income distribution to the number of days it takes to start a legal business. We rely on them for policy decisions, and usually we take it for granted that the data actually mean something.

That is an assumption worth questioning. Fraud or simple incompetence might be distorting some economic or accounting data. It would be nice to have a way to check, but it is often impossible to do so directly. So an alternative is to look for patterns in the data that might indicate that something is amiss.

One such pattern is Benford’s Law, first noted by the astronomer Simon Newcomb in 1881, and then independently by the physicist Frank Benford in 1938. The story is that each man had noticed that the early pages of books of logarithm tables were dirtier, suggesting that people tended to look up the log of numbers whose first digit was one – such as 11, 134 or 17,650. Benford then showed that whether he looked at the populations of small towns or all the numbers collected from an issue of the Reader’s Digest, numbers whose first digit was one cropped up 30 per cent of the time.

Benford’s Law does not apply to every set of numbers – for example, it does not apply to post codes or national insurance numbers, which are assigned by bureaucratic processes. But all sorts of “natural” processes should produce Benford data. And since the units in which many quantities are measured are arbitrary (grams or ounces, miles or millimetres, dollars or yen) then converting to a different unit of measurement preserves Benford’s law.

As an example, think about an economy that is growing from an initial value of $10bn. It must grow by 100 per cent before the first digit changes, to $20bn. Then it need only grow by 50 per cent to reach the next digit at $30bn, which is likely to happen more quickly. To grow from $90bn to $100bn requires just over 10 per cent growth; but then to change the first digit back to two, at $200bn, requires that the stock grow by 100 per cent again. That sort of story suggests why Benford data may be common, although quite why Benford’s Law holds so widely is not yet settled.

Regardless, the pattern is a useful test of the plausibility of data. In the early 1970s, Hal Varian, now chief economist at Google, argued that if economic data satisfied Benford’s Law on the way into an economic model but not on the way out, it was worth taking a second look at the model itself.

And Mark Nigrini, an accountancy professor, found fame in the 1990s by using Benford’s Law to discover accounting scams, frauds and tax dodges, such as inventing invoices that were just under some threshold for managerial approval.

John Nye and Charles Moul, two economists at Washington University in St Louis, have now checked some basic macroeconomic statistics using Benford’s Law. They find that OECD statistics fit the law quite well, suggesting that GDP data should follow Benford. But African GDP data do not fit. It is not possible to say whether the anomaly is due to fraud or underfunded statistical offices. But it is a reminder that some data should come with a health warning.

How to dress a child for the weather?

walk on the street - a pleasant and useful pastime.To know the world, to communicate with children and adults - this is so cool!But the weather is not always pleases us, so mothers worry about how to dress the baby in the street correctly.

Kuta or not?

Grandma used to the fact that children have to coddle.Steam bones do not ache - this is a common proverb.But modern doctors ascertain that more need to be afraid of overheating.Movable children's hot all the time, they are easy to sweat, unbutton clothes, removed his hat, and just there is more risk of catching cold.Overheating - stress on the immune system, and subcooling small, usually not bear any harm.

So, we will figure out how to dress baby for the weather that he was comfortable, and the walk brings joy.

Criteria for selecting clothes

1. Age of the child (infants do not dress as "runners" or students).

2. Mobility during the walk (in a wheelchair, in the arms of my mother, mainly walks, runs or rides a bicycle).

3. The temperature in t

he street.

4. Atmospheric phenomena (sun, wind, snow, humidity).

3. Specific features of the kid (he personally expresses his feelings about the comfort temperature, the child is almost always hot or cold when you dress).

babies are more sensitive to temperature changes.For them the danger of bears as overheating and overcooling.How to dress a child for a walk?And how to determine that the clothing does not fit?If the child is uncomfortable, it is likely to report this cry.From time to time you need to touch the back of the head and the back of Chad to see if it is not hot.As a rule, young mothers and grandmothers is prone to overheat the baby, not supercool.Easy summer breeze - not a reason to wear a warm hat.If after a walk discovered that a baby's wet hair and back, you obviously gone too far with the clothes.

Kids 1-3 years old have more resistant to changes in atmospheric conditions and better regulate their body temperature.But they can often be seen "hundred odezhek without fasteners."

Preschoolers 3-5 years has improved in thermoregulation, moreover, tend to be very mobile.However, if the child is hot or cold, he stated emphatically that.So you have it easier to determine how to properly put on the child.The older the children are, the easier it is to find out their individual sense of comfort temperature.

schoolchildren and teenagers - a special theme.There is already another problem, because the cooler winter walking without a hat, do not wear underwear or warm leggings.Both boys and girls at risk to earn acute and chronic diseases, if not dressed for the weather.Therefore, parents should communicate clearly and sensitively explain what threatens to hypothermia.Suggest bright accessories (hat, scarf, gloves) to choose a teenager, and stylish underwear, and the problem will be solved.Perhaps your child and friends to follow suit.

mobility by walking

If a kid is in a wheelchair and sit / lie, he would need an extra layer of clothing or blanket.If you are wearing baby in a sling or backpack outside of your heat will be transferred to it, so do not need extra packs.Slingokurtka hiding crumbs in general allow him to dress in warm clothes and hat for the house of the weather, because "on the surface" is only his head.

«Walkers" and "runners" need lightweight clothing.Even if you are cold, you can be sure that the baby warm.For your own peace of mind periodically check how your child comfortable.But if he knows the world with enthusiasm and runs for friends, for sure he is well.

how to dress for the weather of the child, if he is engaged in an active sport?He is useful lightweight clothing with a membrane layer that displays the excess heat out.

temperature "overboard»

most comfortable temperature - about 20-23 degrees Celsius.If it's freezing below -15, it is better to refrain from walking.The heat above 30 degrees in the shade is also very dangerous.

Other temperature intervals - from minus 10 to plus 28 - it is good to walk in the right to pick up clothes.

weather conditions (sun, wind, snow)

strong wind and high humidity cause that we freeze faster.You will need an extra layer of clothes and windproof jacket.Heavy snow is dangerous because the child can gradually wet clothes and shoes, so watch the weather forecast, if you choose away from home.

sun and calm, in contrast, are more favorable for walking, and extra layers of clothing can only interfere.

Individual features

Attentive mother will notice if the baby is constantly complaining about the heat or cold."Merzlyachie" children - a rare phenomenon.Apparently, because of their all time Kuta, and they do not suffer from this.But if you hear the whole day, "I'm hot!", Then you got a "warm-blooded" baby.How to dress for the weather of the child in this case?If you see that it is objectively more comfortable without many jackets, leave it as is, do not put on extra layers.However, you have to be prepared for the fact that my grandmother at the entrances will shake his head when they see your baby "light."But remember that the overheating risk and only you are responsible for the child's health.

freezing or too hot?

most often mothers worry about whether the child is not frozen.

Signs of hypothermia:

  • screaming, crying, active movement;
  • very cold feet (maybe boots have become small, and legs quickly frozen);
  • pale skin.

How to check whether the baby warm?If the nose, cheeks, hands and ass cool, all right.If it is very cold, it's time to warm up.

clothes baby winter

With the approach of cold weather the parents are thinking about how to dress the baby in the winter well.On the one hand, there is a temptation as much as possible to stay at home.Less risk of cold and pick up an infection.But this is misleading.That fresh air and movement help your baby strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk of disease to a minimum.Modern winter clothes for children is very comfortable and functional, and you can walk with pleasure.

The simplest rule - focus on the temperature that the thermometer shows the street.

in the range of "minus 5 plus 5" will be enough of these layers: underwear (tights and T-shirt with long sleeves), insulated coveralls, thin socks, warm boots with wool insole, warm gloves and hat.Winter clothing for children should be light in weight and warm.

If it's 5-10 degrees below zero, you need to add another layer of clothing (knitted turtleneck) and wool socks.

how to dress the baby in the winter, if the street minus 10-15?We put on extra fleece hooking (bike and pants).Wool socks are thicker shoes if you want to replace the boots.Coverall to choose a heater from natural down with a deep hood.Warm gloves will warm your hands are better than gloves.

The bitter cold is better not to go out.But if there is such a need, try to shorten the time walking and protect the baby's skin with a special cream on oily basis.

How to dress for winter and autumn - the general principles

1. Stratification.Several layers of clothes better hold heat.Thus, at low temperatures shirt sleeve turtleneck plus better than a sweater.

2. impregnation by wind and water.For outerwear is necessary, because in the wet jacket freeze very easily.And if you allow your child to lie in the snow, or walking in the rain, buy a waterproof overalls and boots.

3. Movement.If the baby is moving actively consider this when choosing clothes.

4. Control.Often parents find it difficult to immediately determine how to dress baby for the weather.But if you regularly check it after the street it becomes clear how much had made the right choice of clothes.If a kid sweaty and wet, you need to reduce the layers, unless of course the cool, can be added.

5. Ease and freedom of movement.These are the main distinguishing features of modern clothing for the cold season.

how to dress the baby in autumn and winter?Hopefully, now you know the answer to this question.

  • John Tolkien started to write the Silmarillion one hundred (one HUNDRED!) years ago and continued to work on it until he died, 41 years ago. Forty years later, an Illustration and Graphic Design student worked all by himself, for about one year, to produce a wonderful deluxe, hand-illuminated edition of the Silmarillion. But he can’t publish it. Because other people, who are NOT those who wrote those texts, haven’t given permission (synthesis from the interview):
  • You can think how much you want about effective ways of getting a discussion started, but sometimes reality just does all the work for you. I officially challenge EVERYBODY to find something better than this specific couple of stories, that came back to back in my RSS feed, as brain food for a wide-ranging discussion on the impact of mobile tech on society in general, not just transportation (links to the full stories below):

  • Robert Talbert writes that, even if he remains convinced that “online video is an idea whose time has really come in education”, and thinks that the current videos of Khan Academy are a great resource for the niche in which they were designed to work, they have some inherent limits that should not be forgotten, namely: the Khan Academy videos are (normally good) demos on how to finish mathematics exercises, with little modeling of the higher-level thinking skills this kinds of learning objectives (learning mechanical skills) that Khan Academy videos focus on are important
  • It is time to admit that when it comes to global development, mobile phones will not be able to achive it on their own, says Hibah Hussain of the New America Foundation. Promotion of social change and economic growth cannot dismiss established communications networks like radio, “the mass media that reaches the widest audience in the world”. Above all, says Hussain, it is radio, more than mobile phones, that reaches best the people you should think about when talking about development: poor people who, especially if they live in flood prone areas, always carry cheap radio sets along.
