This is Damien the lead technical support engineer at Kinvey. I want to start a discussion with you ladies and gents migrating over from Parse and try to understand what issues you have run into, and how you've resolved them. This will really help me build out the FAQ for new people that are migrating over.
Also, our engineers are acutely aware of these discussions and are ready to engage and help where necessary when things are in a field that I'm not familiar with.
Id love to see a sample Swift App.
actually.. I would recommend to reprogram ALL iOS sample apps to SWIFT.
as far as I have seen in the developer community, all NEW projects are done with SWIFT... SWIFT has grown up and is already 2 years old..
I am mostly in agreement with you, however we still need to support the needs of legacy customers as well as developers that like the newest technology. We are looking at breaking the iOS (objective -C) and Swift libraries apart at some point in the future ( still a number of months out from now).
We appreciate the feedback and I will bring it up to our product team to keep them appraised of what our developers are saying.
Hi there, I've had a great experience so far moving a web app across to Kinvey, I particularly like how in Kinvey you work with plain objects rather than .get() and .set() in Parse. However, my one major pain point has been Parse Cloud Code -> Kinvey Business Logic. Debugging Business Logic is really hard and error messages have no line/column information which is making it virtually impossible to debug. Any advice?
Debugging Business logic is difficult, but there are generally messages that come back and lines will generally get highlighted where there's an error... could you help me understand what the issues you've been seeing are?
Am evaluating several alternative mBAAS offerings to replace Parse. So far Kinvey is at the top of the list, except for one important feature. Right now I have some apps that need to share data and business logic. The apps do have unique bundle IDs since they need to be able to receive Push Notifications. Parse allowed a single "app" of theirs to support up to 6 Push certificates, which allowed me to do what I needed.
Does Kinvey have any plans to add some a feature? And if so, in what time frame?

When we started SpringFour back in 2005 we knew it was important to connect homeowners to local services when they were behind on their mortgage. Our research also told us that banks and loan servicers were looking for ways to connect their borrowers to local help.
We understood that when a person could not pay their mortgage, there was a reason. Something was happening in their financial life that made paying that bill impossible. We also knew that for many of those situations, solutions existed.
Non-profits and government agencies exist to help with utility bills, legal assistance, childcare, food expenses and more. But those in trouble didn’t know about them.
ational call centers could not be the experts in each community where they serviced loans.
We set about to change that and we built SpringFour.
Today, with our partners, we make over 1.5 million referrals each year. We have over 9,000 resources in 175 cities around the country. We offer help in 26 different service categories.
Just today, at 5 pm. we had made over 3,600 referrals for consumers in need. This month we are on track to make over 100,000 referrals.
But we want to do more.
First, Let me share with you the power behind a referral and how a simple technology solution is creating significant financial savings for American families.
Making these referrals means that a veteran waiting on disability benefits will continue to have a home AND be able to buy groceries to feed his family. Because prior to a referral from SpringFour, this family did not know how they were going to be able to pay for both.
It means that an elderly woman with limited income who was spending $500 on prescription costs now pays only $200 a month. That’s a $300 per month savings.
And as we expand into connecting consumers with innovative and responsible financial products, it means that a family no longer is using high priced check cashing services to access their own money. They have connected with a more appropriate financial product and are saving almost $100 per month.
On average, consumers save $250 per month with SpringFour referrals.
The amount of savings that we are helping people obtain is significant. More than 50 percent of Americans cannot afford a $400 emergency expense and 40 percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
With SpringFour referrals, we are transforming consumers’ financial outlook. Money saved can be allocated toward retirement, college savings or paying down student loan debt.Or it can be used to meet mortgage payments that before were unaffordable.
We are excited to announce that because of this Award, we will be able to build out LifeKit and expand into new markets like student loan servicing and consumer banking. LifeKit is a new mobile app that will allow us to extend our relationship with any consumer no matter where they are at financially.
LifeKit will provide consumers with connections to innovative and appropriate financial products, tools and services. Through this mobile technology, we look forward to reaching many more consumers.
I also want to extend my thanks and appreciation to a few amazing people that without their support, dedication and hard work, SpringFour would not have received this Award.
I’d like to thank Larry Gorey, my husband for giving me the encouragement and support to turn an idea into a company.
I’d like to thank Dean Caldwell Tautges who started as a SpringFour’s 1st customer when he was Director of Counseling at the Homeownership Preservation Foundation and has since become a valuable partner and co-worker at SpringFour. Dean keeps everything moving and turns ideas into reality.
Thank you to Jon Roketenetz, who has been with us since day one, he’s the mastermind behind the technology that is at the core of everything we do.
I’d also like to thank you subscribers, banks both large and small, loan servicers, non profit housing counseling agencies, veterans organizations and employee assistance programs. These forward thinking companies have committed to helping their customers not only because it’s the right thing to do but they know it’s also good for business.
Our work is far from over but with this Award, we are looking forward to working with you to help even more consumers become financially healthy because it’s in all of our best interest to do so.

With permission Mr Speaker I should like to make a statement about our programme of constitutional renewal. With this Statement are published a White Paper, the draft Constitutional Renewal Bill, and an analysis of the responses to our consultations. Copies of these are available in the Vote Office and on my ministry's website.
Mr Speaker, the accountability of government is fundamental to the health of our democracy. Arbitrary action and lack of transparency can subvert that. But, for decades, the royal prerogative has been used by successive governments to sustain executive power.
Last July, my Right Honourable Friend, the prime minister announced his determination that the government he leads would reverse this process and surrender significant executive powers to Parliament or otherwise limit them.
Following my Right Honourable Friend's July statement and the accompanying Governance of Britain Green Paper, five consultation papers were issued. I am grateful to all who responded. We have taken account of their views in the White Paper and the draft Bill.
1. Protest around Parliament: In July the prime minister undertook to consult widely on managing protests around Parliament to ensure that people's right to protest was not subject to unnecessary restrictions.
Our view is that Parliament itself is best placed to decide what needs to be secured to ensure Members are able freely to discharge their responsibilities. Clause 1 of the draft Bill therefore repeals sections 132-138 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005. We invite the views of Parliament on whether additional provision is needed to keep open the passages leading to the Palace of Westminster and to ensure that, for example, excessive noise is not used to disrupt the workings of Parliament.
Part 2 of the Bill sets out major reforms to the role of the Attorney General, and the management of prosecutions, to make the arrangements more transparent and to enhance public confidence. The proposals involve recasting the relationship between the Attorney and the prosecuting authorities.
In particular the Attorney will cease to have any power to give directions to prosecutors in individual cases, save in certain exceptional cases which give rise to issues of national security. The Attorney will have to report to Parliament on any exercise of that power.
By clause 3 there would be a protocol which will set out how the Attorney and the prosecuting authorities are to exercise their functions in relation to each other. This will be laid before Parliament, as will an Annual Report. We do not propose changing the Attorney's role as chief legal adviser to the government or his or her attendance at Cabinet.
Part three of the Bill builds on the significant reforms introduced by my Right Honourable and Noble Friend Lord Falconer to reinforce the independence of the judiciary. The Bill proposes to remove the Prime Minister entirely from making judicial appointments, and the Lord Chancellor from appointments below the High Court.
Part 4 of the Bill makes it a statutory requirement that treaties must be laid before both Houses of Parliament before ratification. If this House were then to vote against ratification the Government could not proceed to ratify it.
Whilst this is obviously a matter for Parliament, the White Paper suggests that a valuable role could be played by committees of either or both Houses in the scrutiny of treaties prior to ratification. I should just say these proposals do not affect the current arrangements for EU and tax treaties which already have a statutory procedure attached to them.
Part 5 of the Bill will for the first time put the Civil Service on a statutory footing by enshrining the core values of the Civil Service - impartiality, integrity, honest and objectivity - into law, as well as the historic principle of appointment on merit.
The Bill makes provision for special advisers and the Civil Service Commission. The Bill has benefited from the detailed comments on the draft Civil Service Bill in 2004 and from the work of the Public Administration Select Committee. I am grateful for their help.
Mr Speaker, may I now turn to the other key proposals in the white paper.
There was a widespread welcome in July for my Right Honourable Friend the Prime Minister's proposals that the government should limit the executive's powers to deploy Her Majesty's Armed Forces into conflict situations. As well as from those who responded to the consultation document we have also benefited from earlier Select Committee reports from both Houses. In the event there was significant support for the recommendations from the Lords' Constitution Committee.
What we are now proposing is that Parliament's role should be both enshrined and guaranteed by a Resolution of this House. A detailed draft of this is set out in the White Paper (on pages 53 - 56). It would require the Prime Minister of the day to seek the approval of this House before deciding to commit forces into armed conflict abroad. It requires him to lay a report before this House setting out the terms of approval sought and information about the objectives and legal matters relating to the armed conflict.
There are exceptions to this in relation to emergencies and operational secrecy, with a requirement in such cases to inform but not to seek retrospective approval. Special Forces would be exempt from any of these provisions. These changes, if agreed, would define a clear role for Parliament in the most critical of all decisions to face a nation, whilst ensuring that our nation's security is not compromised.
Last July's Governance of Britain Green Paper contained proposals on increasing parliamentary scrutiny of some public appointments. Since then, this has been considered by the Liaison Committee. We will respond to their recommendations shortly.
On the dissolution and recall of Parliament, proposals have already been made to the Modernisation Committee. We look forward to hearing their views.
The White Paper sets out these arrangements in detail.
The government is committed to reviewing the prerogative power with regard to issuing passports. Draft legislation will be published in due course.
The government is also reviewing the remaining executive prerogative powers, for example the prerogative to grant mercy. The government will consider the outcome of this work and will consult on how we plan to proceed.
Mr Speaker the government remains committed to the establishment of the Church of England, and greatly values the role played by the Church in our national life. Appointments to senior Church positions will continue to be made by Her Majesty the Queen, who should continue to be advised on the exercise of Her powers of appointment by one of Her Ministers, which will usually be the Prime Minister.
We are very grateful to the General Synod for its proposals on how new appointments procedures should work and the government is discussing with the Church future long-term arrangements.
The government received over 300 responses to the consultation on the flying of the Union Flag. In line with the majority of responses we have decided that the interim change made to the guidance to allow Government departments to fly the Union Flag whenever they wish, should now become permanent. There are no plans to change the arrangements for flag flying in Northern Ireland.
Mr Speaker, good law is imperative to accessible and modern constitutional arrangements.
For 40 years the Law Commission has played a vital role in this regard. I intend to strengthen its role by placing a statutory duty on the Lord Chancellor to report annually to Parliament on the government's intentions regarding outstanding Law Commission recommendations and in providing a statutory backing for the arrangements underpinning the way government works with the Law Commission. These changes sit alongside those the Leader of the House announced last week which will strengthen the scrutiny of laws after they have been enacted by Parliament.
We are ensuring our constitutional arrangements are continuing to meet the needs of the public we serve. On reform of the House of Lords I should tell the House that discussions in the cross-party Working Group are proceeding well. We are on track to publish a White Paper before the summer recess.
Over the coming months we will be publishing a Green Paper on a British Bill of Rights and Responsibilities and on the values which should bind us together as citizens.
And today my Right Honourable Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland has announced that Professor Sir Kenneth Calman has agreed to serve as Chair of a Commission to Review the Scotland Act. Such a Commission was proposed in and approved by the Scottish Parliament.
The government welcomes that Parliament's support for the aim of strengthening devolution, and securing Scotland's place in the Union. We are giving our full support to this cross border, cross party review.
Mr Speaker the proposals in the White Paper and draft Bill go to the heart of how power in a modern democracy should be exercised. They are not a final blueprint, but part of the much wider programme towards a new constitutional settlement.
They will strengthen the role of Parliament in our democracy.
For it is Parliament, the seat of our democracy, which is central to this programme of constitutional renewal.

Let's fact it, most people have a place where they stash things they have no idea what to do with it - the infamous "Junk Drawer" and that thing turns into this monster that grows out of control. Maybe it is cluttered with orphaned items that you think you need to keep but have not designated a "home" or just items you don't feel like dealing with so you just toss them in this drawer. The only problem is without organization, you spend time rummaging through the clutter in hopes of finding the item only to discover it is lost in this mess. Or maybe it's just there and you can't find it so you go out and buy another one. Either way, the disaster that is tucked away out of sight makes for a lot of inefficiencies for you when you decide to look for something.
This is what happened to our junk drawer and today I decided it was time to clear things out once again. I got a little carried away with the start and didn't get a before photo (oops) as my mind went into "cleaning mode"; however, I wanted to share with you some of the things I discovered that I did. The drawer what cluttered with batteries, pens/pencils, user manuals, bread twist-ties, candles, buttons, electronic chargers, etc. It was an overwhelming mess that I have chosen to ignore for too long.
It seems like when we get a new kitchen appliance, my husband has a tendency to place the manual/instructions sheets in this drawer. Don't mind the fact that we have a folder in our filing cabinet that is dedicated to manuals. Again this is a convenient location for these items to be placed out of sight and dealt with later. I found about five in there today. I have since removed those for filing in the appropriate place.
I went through and collected all of the "like items" and placed them in small piles. Sorting everything into categories makes it easier to return things into a drawer in an organized manner. I went through the huge collection of pens and tested to make sure they worked. If not, I tossed them. There was a collection of tiny broken toys that had been in the drawer for I'm sure five years and today I decided it was time to let them go. I'm not sure why we even kept them this long. I think the bigger toys they went to have been long gone. I pulled all of the craft items out (i.e. buttons, adhesive magnets, wiggly eyes, ribbon, stickers, etc) and have placed them in a pile to take to the craft area I am in the process of creating.
The drawer organizer I have re-purposed to sort batteries, pencils, pens, candles, and adhesives/super glue. I placed the extra 3M hooks and strips in a baggy to keep them together so they are easy to find. All of the tealight, votive, and battery operated candles are together. I used some of the bread twist-ties I located to in the drawer to bundle up the electronic chargers to the cords are no longer strung about in disarray. All-in-all it is a huge improvement from the before (which I wish I would have thought to take a picture of) and I should be able to find things more easily now. I'm still deciding if I can pull anything else out of there because I'm so done with keeping things we don't need or no longer use.
Have you ever opened your refrigerator crisper and discovered a mushy mess of vegetables or fruits that have gone bad? Did you know that storing some produce in the refrigerator can accelerate the shelf life of the product? Today's mission is to educate myself and others on proper food storage for fruits and vegetables to reduce waste and help save you money.
When you're walking through the produce section of your local grocer, you may notice that some vegetables and fruits are stored at room temperature while others are kept in a refrigerated section and misted periodically with water. Grocers do not want to waste good products before consumers purchase them; therefore, they are careful about how each product is store to ensure fresh products customers desire. Just like grocers, I don't want to throw away food because it has gone bad before I could use it due to improper storage.
Some fruits will have a longer shelf life it kept at room temperature while other fruits will ripen rapidly if not kept cool.
Some vegetables lose their texture when stored incorrectly in addition to reducing their shelf life. To help keep vegetables crisp and fresh it is important to keep them at the optimal temperature. Zucchini can be stored at both room temperature or in the refrigerator; however to prolong it's shelf-life store in refrigerator.
Herbs should be rinsed, ends snipped, and store in a glass of water. You can also wash the herbs, cut off the ends, wrap in a damp paper towel, and store in a plastic bag. The essential part of this is to maintain moisture so the herbs do not wilt.
Basil is one herb that does not like to be stored in the cold. Store this herb in a glass of water on the counter to maintain freshness.
Eggs should be stored in the container they come in and not in one of those egg organizers you may find included with your refrigerator. By removing the eggs from their packaging they absorb odors that may also be inside your refrigerator changing their taste.
My kitchen just might be the hardest part of the house for me to keep organized simply because my husband has a tendency to try to be helpful and do dishes. While I appreciate his efforts to help, this always leads to things not being put back where I want them. Yes, I may have a bit of O.C.D. I cannot stand for my kitchen to be in a disarray because when I'm cooking I want to be able to go right to what I need without having to search for it. Then there are the kids who help themselves to snacks and again the cabinets look like a tornado attacked them. Ok, maybe they're not that bad because I did just do a major reorganization project back in May before I started this blog, but it was enough to bother me. Today's mission, straighten up the cabinets. I spent about 5 minutes on each cabinet to straighten up the contents. Today I decided to share with you the mess that was and how I fixed it.

A Huddersfield health support group have celebrated the end of an almost 20 year wait to enjoy afternoon tea due to the lack of gluten free options.
What is considered a treat to most had turned into a chore for the Calderdale and Huddersfield Coeliac Group, who had never been able to find a cafe that could cater to their digestive condition.
All that changed when staff at The Seasons Cafe at the Armitage’s Garden Centre in Birchencliffe agreed to put on the special event for 30 of the group’s members, marking the first such event in the group’s history.
Attendees enjoyed specially made gluten free sandwiches and cakes, which were made according to strict conditions.
Those suffering with coeliac disease, who have adverse reactions when they eat gluten, must have their food prepared in environments free from regular flour and other untreated cereals, such as wheat, barley and rye.
Group organiser Irvena Fisher, who was diagnosed with the disease 25 years ago and organises events for 700 members, said: “We’ve had quite a few events but we’ve never been able to go out and have afternoon tea because it’s very hard to find somewhere that will cater for us.
“We were really pleased that this has finally happened and hope that it raises awareness coeliac disease, which is now being more readily diagnosed by doctors.

BTW: all my PHP builds now have the openssl-fips as well. If you do not add 'SSLFIPS on' to your config, they should behave just like openssl without fips support. Let me know if and when you experience difficulties.
Edit 2015-01-12: Updated to Fips 2.0.9 and OpenSSL 1.0.1k.
Edit 2015-01-22: Updated to OpenSSL 1.0.1l.
Edit 2015-03-20: Updated to OpenSSL 1.0.1m.
Edit 2015-07-19: Updated to OpenSSL 1.0.1p.
Edit 2015-07-19: Added the versions for 2.4.16.
May I ask what is the reason for running FIPS ... other than "because we can." Does it give any better encryption than OpenSSL without FIPS?
My understanding is that FIPS is a set security policy which may be required for any number of reasons. As far as the encryption end, it has a small set of elliptical curves it can use. However this policy also regulates how the OpenSSL FIPS source is obtained, built and installed onto any server. Just having FIPS does not automatically make you able to be FIPS verified.
Linking that module into OpenSSL is done by configuring OpenSSL with perl Configure VC-WIN32 fips (no-asm) or perl Configure VC-WIN64A fips (no-asm). Not hard at all if your are used to building OpenSSL on Windows.
Note: somebody that downloads my openssl-fips build cannot know for sure that I followed the rules, so he cannot claim FIPS validation. He will have to build openssl-fips for himself to be sure.
Rather, an addressable implementation specification means that a covered entity must use reasonable and appropriate measures to meet the standard.
The easiest way to 'meet the standard' is to install and activate FIPS support in OpenSSL.
It points to SP 800-52 which was revised in June 2014.
Section 3.3.2 says it must be FIPS validated modules, which is only validated when the security policy is met in it's entirety, not partially.
Obviously we are treading into legal areas here best dealt with by lawyers. But if it were my company, I'd hire someone to follow the security policy to the letter thereby reducing my exposure to lawsuit.
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 17 of path/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load path/modules/mod_ssl_fips.so into server: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or us .
Activation context generation failed for "path\modules\mod_ssl_fips.so". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.CRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
I copied openssl-1.0.1j-fips-2.4.10-x64-vc11\bin files to the Apache bin folder. Replaced the default mod_ssl.so with your mod_ssl.
Looking at the error message either your Apache or your mod_ssl_fips.so is VC9 X86. To check mod_ssl_fips.so open it for instance in Notepad++ and search for MSVC. There should be a reference to MSVCR110.dll there (and not to MSVCR90.dll) if you are using a VC11 Apache.
I updated the 2.4.12 versions to OpenSSL 1.0.1p and added 2.4.16 versions.
Benefit of using the Wiki page is that it will be updated once in a while.
Your cipherlist has one nasty thing. Open your site in Chrome, click on the lock symbol, then on the Connection tab.
It seems that chrome uses still the SHA1 which I tought I replaced ... I look into that.
it might tells "old" and not modern, however it is 256 bit vs 128 bit.
The SSL Test lab result on Cipher Strength went up again from 90 to a 100.
do you by chance have a compiled version of the needed Apache 2.4.23 files with OpenSSL FIPS?
I also have VC9 and VC11 versions of the same, but I suppose you are looking for the VC14 ones. These files also contain mod_fcgid.so, mod_http2.so and mod_proxy_http2.so, but the OpenSSL files are there as well.
VC14 is perfect, thanks alot!

Judges are calling for online shoppers to chose companies that deliver directly to China when they buy online from overseas to reduce the chance of disputes that could end in court.
The suggestion came from the judiciary in Shunyi district, home to Beijing Capital International Airport and its many supporting logistics companies, as the Nov 11 Singles' Day shopping festival approaches, which is now China's biggest buying day of the year.
Disputes relating to deliveries have increased along with the rapid growth in online shoppers buying cheap goods from overseas that often involve multiple express delivery companies, said Zhang Danfang, chief judge of one of the civil trial departments at Beijing Shunyi District People's Court.
Zhang's department has dealt with 347 disputes concerning logistics over the past five years, according to a report issued by the court on Thursday.
The figure hides the fact that cases are almost always resolved out of court, and most customers chose not to spend the time or money taking a company to court.
But now, the Shunyi court has selected two judges to specialize in express lawsuits to cope with what is expected to be a sharp increase in cases.
"Our court heard the most logistics disputes of all the Beijing courts, because Shunyi is the capital's biggest logistics center with almost 100 express companies," Zhang said. "Of those, 26 have a turnover higher than 10 million yuan ($1.6 million)."
Most logistics cases in the past involved individuals who wanted express companies to compensate for their lost parcels. "But now, many disputes take place between express delivery corporations and their big clients, and lawsuits caused by overseas purchases also happen frequently," Zhang said.
Buying cheap overseas goods can result in more disputes, the judge said. "Cheap purchases often mean people have to wait longer as the product will involve several express companies and be transferred several times during the delivery process," she said.
"The more transits, the higher risk a product will be lost or damaged."
Many goods on overseas shopping platforms can now be delivered to China directly via express companies such as DHL and FedEx, global market leaders in the logistics industry.
"Direct delivery can better protect logistics, even though they are a little bit expensive," Zhang said.
Luo Caixu, head of the North District of DHL Global Forwarding China Co, said that a simple transit can reduce trouble, especially with overseas purchases.
Luo suggested consumers should read and clarify what they are responsible or liable for before they order overseas purchases on the Internet, and should keep track of their online invoices until they receive their parcels.
Li Hai, a legal adviser from Shuangchen Express, a company specializing in air logistics, suggested online shoppers should select goods for which sellers pay the freight charges, which can help them reduce unnecessary problems with express companies.
"Sellers are more familiar with contracts that they sign with express corporations," Li said.

The work which had begun on December 5, 2009 had to finish on finish on 26 January 2010 and now its end of January 2012 and still the Mahatma Phule road is not entirely complete.
A major part of the road is complete with dividers but the street lights have not yet been installed.
The said work was taken under the special 100 crore grant and the 80 feet road widening work had begun amidst voices of resent from the residents of the area. The entire stretch of the road is 1.035 kms only.
Currently the road from Shahpur Maratha Sanskritik Bhavan to the road which will join Basveshwar Circle (Govaves) is being completed.
Once completed commuting to SPM road will be very easy by this road but the time taken for the said road is very long and one still does not know as to when the same would be complete.
The work which had to complete in a years time it has been more than 2 years from the deadline date that the road is still not complete.
Under package No.13 a sum of Rs.124.36 lakhs was allocated for development of Mahatma Phule road. Under package No.15 a sum of Rs. 86.57 lakhs were allocated for building of gutters on the same road. Under package No.20 a sum of Rs. 4.08 lakhs were allocated for building dividers.
Under package No.18 a sum of Rs. 17.86 lakhs were allocated for central lighting for Mahatma Phule road.
So in total 232.87 lakhs was the total budget for the road widening of Mahatma Phule road. And the duration of completion of the work stated in the packages prepared was only 9 months.
So it has been over 2 years, 1 month, 24 days and still counting for the completion of the Mahatma Phule Road.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the breakdown of the East German Socialist government, thousands of former contract workers stayed in the then reunified Germany. Due to their resulting precarious economic situation, a large number of Vietnamese migrants, all former contract workers, became engaged in small business and petty trade. Some of them, women in particular, have become successful entrepreneurs and wholesalers in recently built bazaars in East Berlin. Most interestingly, parts of these urban spaces, former industrial areas on the periphery of Germany’s capital, have been transformed into religious places.
This paper explores the formation of Vietnamese Buddhist networks on the grounds of Asian wholesale markets in the eastern part of Berlin after the reunification of Germany. By considering the tensions between Vietnamese former contract workers and the political “other”, the Vietnamese boat refugees in West Berlin, the first part of the paper deals with the arrival of different groups of Vietnamese in socialist East Germany. Based on recent ethnographic fieldwork among female lay Buddhists, the second part focuses on trading women and investigates the relationship between business and religion in the bazaar. The paper explores how gender roles are shaped by geographical mobility and argues that female religious practitioners engage with the places where they live and work, namely the bazaar.
Gertrud Hüwelmeier is an anthropologist and Senior Research Fellow at the Humboldt-University Berlin and Senior Research Partner at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, department of socio-cultural diversity. She published widely about religion, gender and transnationalism and is directing a new research project on “The Global Bazaar”, funded by the German Research Foundation, focussing on social, religious and economic ties among Vietnamese in post-socialist countries in Europe and in Vietnam.

Acrylicos Vallejo Basic Colors Model Airbrush Paint Set, Case And Brushes, 72 Colors. Colors can be mixed with one another.
Vallejo Suitcase Model Airbrush Color Basic Hobby Colors (72 paints and 3 brushes). This is not for brush painting although paint brushes are included to for touchup after airbrush use. The consistency of Model color allows for an extremely smooth and uniform paint film, with no trace of brushstrokes. Professional model painters always work with a wet brush and dilute the paint with water or Mat Medium, applying many thin layers to achieve depth and shadows.
Colors may also be diluted with other Mediums for glazes and layered applications. The water based formula of Model color has been specifically developed for adherence on difficult surfaces such as metal and plastic, but the product is not toxic, not flammable, and does not give off noxious fumes.

Exact drying time depends on the temperature and humidity of the environment, on the surface which has been painted, and on the thickness of the paint layer - although the colors are dry to the touch within minutes, the water content keeps on evaporating, and the paint does not acquire its true permanence until several weeks after application.

For the first two days of my trip, I was pretty much on my own. I would ride the subway into Manhattan with Talaura and then venture out into the city. With out a map. That's not really true. I have a "smart" phone, but I never used it. Talaura would point me in the right direction and away I'd go, gawking appropriately along the way. The first day we hiked over to the theater to get our tickets for my first Broadway show (more on that later) and on our way back to Talaura's building I'd point at various buildings and shout out what I thought was their names getting it wrong every time. I could see Talaura getting worried about my navigation abilities, but I promised her that I'd be just fine. And I was, with the exception of that day's shoe choice (bad, bad, bad, bad, bad). First stop? Top of the Empire State Building (only this came out in my head as this line "as tall as the Chrysler Building" from Annie)! Getting to these tourist attractions early, like when they open, is probably the best plan ever. I was a little late to the Empire State Building, but I saved time by purchasing and printing out my ticket at home. I would have been waiting and waiting if I'd waited (heh) to buy my ticket there. That's where the line started. I was early enough though to skip on ahead to the elevators. I think I waited in line for about 10 minutes before I was crammed into an elevator that went to the 86th floor observation deck. Not too shabby. The first ride up takes you to the 80th floor (I think). There, you are funneled through another maze to the second round of elevators. I could tell that this was usually a big waiting area, but they've set up your wait nicely with displays of pictures and history of the building. You also start to realize that you are really, really, really high up off the ground. Really.
It's at the 80th floor where you wait for people to come down so that you can go up to the 86th floor where the observation deck is and the amazing view of the city.
I traveled from the Empire State Building over to the New York Library. They have an exhibit running right now called "Lunch Hour NYC" and it's all about the history of lunches in NYC ranging from the very first food carts and menus to the automat. It was a great exhibit and it was free! I did put some money in a donation box to pay for some kids' lunches though. The only disappointing thing was that I didn't take any pictures. I didn't think it was allowed. Also, I see libraries as sacred places. There is a specific code of conduct for those places and that code did not include photography. It was only later on my out that I noticed the sign read "no FLASH photography". Oh well. The lunch exhibit made me hungry for lunch and so I went outside to meet Kizz for lunch in Bryant Park. We hugged and laughed and cried and got caught up and it was good. Kizz is also the type of woman to be prepared for emergencies and was able to give me a band-aid for my badly blistered foot and then she walked me most of the way to Grand Central Station. See? I didn't need a map.
I'm a sucker for train stations and Grand Central is awesome because it's still a busy, working train station. And it's HUGE! It's also really easy to get lost in. I went down to the food court below the first floor and when I came back up, I thought I was coming back into the station on the opposite side, but I ended up right where I'd started. It's like walking through an Escher painting. But, Oh, the people watching to be had! There's a mix of people actually trying to go some where, tourists gawking, and a guy in a banana costume.
Wait...Yup, that's a guy in a banana suit. Go banana. I was also pretty sure that I saw Matt Damon getting a shoe shine.
By now, my feet hated me. Seriously. I hobbled my way back to Bryant Park to rest while I waited for Talaura to get off work. I just sat and watched people and journaled. When Talaura showed up, I was less hobbley and more gimpy. I gimped my way over to my very first Broadway Production. We saw One Man, Two Guvnors. I laughed and laughed and laughed and fell in love with half the cast. Best. Show. Ever. Then I oohed and awed at the famous people sitting in the audience. I saw Jim Parsons, Jessica Hecht and Rich Sommer, who is way cuter in person. It was all so glamorous and wonderful. I went home with starry eyes.
And you guys? That was the first day. The First Day! My feet didn't forgive me until Thursday.

So this is my first ever wrap up post and I’m pretty excited to share with you what books I have read in the last month – you’ll also probably learn that I’m not the fastest of readers so my wrap-ups may be quite small to some but hopefully my pace with speed up over the next few months! Overall I was pretty satisfied with the books that I did read in the month of November. Here are my thoughts on the books that I read.
In a previous post I said that I would be starting to read the Harry Potter series and I’m so glad that I have! I absolutely love the films but I felt like I was missing out by not reading the books, my mum had most of the books as she was an early fan of the books (started reading them before the films had even been released) so I thought I would finally pick them up! The first book is so light hearted, just like the film but I felt like I connected more with characters when reading the book, I even connected more with Harry, as I imagined him a lot more vulnerable than he is in the films and I think I prefer that type of harry, so naïve with what’s happening around him yet still very confident. I’ll definitely be picking up the second and maybe the first book within the month of December! (Sneak peak: I’ve already read the second book this month!! I’m loving these books!).
Some of you may know Zoe Sugg as a successful youtuber and blogger known as zoella. I have watched Zoe’s videos for as long as I can remember and although I heard mixed reviews on her book, I really wanted to pick up this book as I wanted to give my own opinion. This book is a really sweet and a very cheesy book, probably a little too cheesy for me but known the less I did enjoy this read. I really liked the aspect of anxiety within this book, it really showed the true feelings of someone who is experiencing anxiety and how they coped with it. I’m not sure if I will pick up the sequel of this book but I may do if I fancy an easy, cosy read, as that’s definitely how I would describe this book.
I heard so many good reviews about this book and I definitely agree with them! It was such a light hearted book and I could definitely relate to Cath with her little obsession and fanfiction writing love as I definitely experienced her emotions when I was a big fan of a boy band (the band was The Wanted and yes they were awesome!!). I adored Levi and I just thought he was sweetheart and more people need to be like Levi!! One thing I didn’t 100% like about the book was the ending, in my head I though Cath would come out of her shell a little bit and maybe warm up to her mum but I still enjoyed this book and I also thought that it was quite a truthful book and I like how Cath stayed to how she wanted to stay and didn’t change for anyone.
Overall I really enjoyed this book and hope to pick up more books by Rainbow Rowell!!
So that’s all the books I read last month! I hope you liked my little reviews and I promise I will get better at reviewing books but this is the first time I’ve really reviewed any books, so I’m still quite new to this!! I’m debating whether to post a TBR post, let me know if you think I should!
Don’t forget to follow me on goodreads and instagram (I usually follow back)!!

You know that fun game you play every time you wander over to Download.com and try to download an app? The game where you have to find the right download button in a sea of buttons or risk infecting your computer with malware until the end of time? Well, it’s game over man.
Yesterday Google announced, via its security blog, that it would begin automatically blocking pages that feature fake download buttons. The move is part of its Safe Browsing program’s war on “social engineering” ads. Social engineering is described by Google as “deceptive tactics that try to trick you into doing something dangerous”.
The awful fake download buttons regularly found at places like KeepVid and Download.com definitely qualify.

text: Anyanwu, E.B.a, Akhator, A.b aDepartment of Family Medicine, Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara. bDepartment of Surgery, Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara. Abstract Appendicitis is a relatively common ailment in most general medical practices in the country. The usual treatment is a surgical intervention known as appendectomy. Occasionally, there may be some complications post-operatively such as bleeding and infection. We hereby report an unusual complication that occurred intra-operatively which was a clean laceration of part of the small board while entering the peritoneum. Keywords: Clean laceration, Appendectomy, small bowel Corresponding Author: Dr. E. B. Anyanwu. Department of Family Medicine, Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara. P.O. Box 7 Oghara, Delta State Nigeria. E-mail: ebirian@yahoo.com Tel: +2348035701711 Case Presentation A middle aged working class man presented into a busy general practice clinic with a history of right sided abdominal pain of about five days duration. He said that the pain has gradually worsened over the five days period and that he knew that it would go this way some day. He claimed that he has been having similar pains over the same part of his abdomen for over a three year period and that he has been diagnosed as a case of appendicitis a long time before now. Surgery has been offered to remove the appendix but he refused because he says that he has been afraid that he might not survive the surgical procedure. Apparently, over the years, he has been on oral antibiotics which he buys from across the counter in chemist shops whenever the pain recurs. He claims that he had always been successful with this practice as the pains always goes away. But then, the present episode has defied all the antibiotics and analgesics that he has taken, as the pain was getting worse over the days. In the past episodes, he usually starts to feel better after about two to three days of ingesting capsule ampiclox, tablet flagyl and either paracetamol or brufen. But, in the present abdominal pain crisis, the pain rather than decrease was actually getting worse and more excruciating in nature. He subsequently reported to the clinic/hospital where he was examined and found to have positive rovsing sign, positive umbilical tapping sign, marked guarding and rebound tenderness was marked over the McBurney’s point. A diagnosis of acute on chronic appendicitis was made and the nature of the illness and the chosen line of management were explained to him. He readily agreed for surgery this time and because he claimed that he had been warned that the appendix could “burst” inside his abdomen and this would mean that he would require a more extensive surgery to be done. He obviously did not want this. Routine laboratory investigations which included urine microscopy, full blood count, retroviral screening after counseling was done. Consent for surgery was obtained from him. During surgery, with patient under general aneasthesia, the muscles were split as usual and the peritoneal membrane was identified and on incising the membranes so as to enter into the peritoneal cavity, a gush of greenish bubbling fluid was noted. Our suspicious was proved so when we finally entered into the peritoneum and discovered that a laceration had been made on the anti-mesenteric border of the small intestine, at about 20cm away from the illeo–colic junction. The greenish substance that we saw earlier proved be intestinal content gushing out from the freshly made laceration. There was no peritoneal soilage. The laceration was subsequently closed in two layers and the appendix removal successfully. The anterior abdominal wall was closed in layer and adequate post-operative care was instituted. The patient recovered and was then discharged home well. Discussion Inflammation of the appendix, otherwise known as acute appendicitis is a relatively common diagnosis in the general practice hospital where the patient presented. The appendix is a small, blind muscular tube which is attached to the tip of the ceacum. The appendix is considered by most authorities to be a vestigial organ and its inflammation or appendicitis is the most common cause of an acute abdomen in young adults (1). Acute appendicitis is relatively rare in infants, and becomes increasingly common in childhood and early adult life. The incidence is equal amongst both males and females before puberty. In teenagers and young adults, the male to female ratio is 3:2 until about the age of 25 years when the male dominance declines (1). Acute appendicitis is associated with bacterial proliferation within the lumen of the appendix, usually of a mixed growth of both aerobic and anaerobic organisms (1). The initiating event leading to appendicitis is usually an obstruction of the lumen of the appendix by a faecolith. A faecolith is composed of faecal materials, calcium phosphate, bacteria and epithelial debris. When the appendix becomes obstructed, the process of events is accumulation of normal mucus secretion, proliferation of contained bacterial, pressure atrophy of the mucosa which allows access into the deeper tissue planes by bacteria, inflammation of the walls of the organ with vessel thrombosis, and eventual gangrene and then perforation of the necrotic appendix wall. The treatment of acute appendicitis is known as appendectomy or surgical removal of the organ. The sooner this is done, the better so as to protect against perforation. During the surgery on our client, apparently a part of the small intestine was caught up with the peritoneal membrane and was unknowingly cut into by the operator. Luckily, the laceration and the accident were recognised and repaired immediately. This kind of small bowel trauma has been reported in gynoceological procedures before now. If this accident had not been recognized and repaired, there would have been peritoneal soiling with faecal matter, resulting into general peritonitis and possible death. But it was recognized and repaired with good results. We have decided to report this incidence so as to highlight the possibility of its occurring during appendicular surgeries and to also call for more caution during this surgery so as not catch any parts of the bowel while incising the peritoneal membrane.

Celebrating their 20th anniversary, Jugo Juice has recently launched their new Energy Menu: six different smoothies (3 cold brew coffee smoothies and 3 matcha smoothies). We were invited recently to try out the new flavours.
The three cold brew coffee options are: Jugo Java, Berry Buzz and Outer Spice. Cold brew has lower acidity and contains antioxidants, phytochemicals and chlorogenic acids to help support healthy blog sugar levels.
Although they’re coffee-based, these smoothies contain 3 servings of fruits and vegetables, no added sugar, no artificial colours or ingredients.
Jugo Java – made with cold brew coffee, bananas, dates, unsweetened almond milk and coconut milk.
Berry Buzz – made with cold brew coffee, blueberries, raspberries, no-added sugar frozen yogurt and apple juice.
Outer Spice – made with cold brew coffee, cinnamon, ginger, banana, dates and unsweetened chocolate almond milk.
The three Matcha smoothies are: Matcha Peachu, Never Too Matcha and one that might look familiar from a recent blog post of ours – Meet Your Matcha.
Like the coffee smoothies, these contain no added sugar or artificial colours or ingredients, but they contain up to 4 servings of fruits/vegetables. Matcha is known for it’s great taste but also it’s energy boosting qualities, being rich in antioxidants that lowers risk of diabetes, cancers, infections and much more.
Matcha Peachu – made with matcha, dragonfruit, peach, mint, apple juice and cranberry juice.
Never Too Matcha – made with matcha, pineapple, apple, lemon, spinach, apple juice and orange juice.
Meet Your Matcha – made with matcha, blueberries, bananas and unsweetened almond milk.

Overall, we’re big fans of these smoothies – they’re undeniably delicious and well balanced in terms of flavour. None of them are too sweet for our liking.
Being allergic to bananas – it’s great to see some alternatives here as well. I also appreciate the fact that you can check out all the nutritional information on their website for each juice and smoothie.
Disclosure: Please note we were invited to try the new flavours at Jugo Juice, however all opinions are our own.

Many children like to chew on hard food and candy and this may cause breaks in their teeth. A fractured tooth can result in a deadly ache, which should not be ignored.
Kids who suffer from a broken tooth can experience lots of discomfort and pain. This dental problem may lead to an abscess or cracked tooth syndrome and it can result in your child missing school. You do not want your young one to miss out on his or her education because of a dental matter.
A tooth fracture results from a break or crack in the hard shell of a tooth. The outer layer of the tooth is called the enamel. It protects the soft tissue inside of the tooth, which contains blood vessels and nerves. Depending on where the break occurs, it may cause your child extreme pain. Cracked tooth syndrome occurs when there are small fractures in the dentition. Hence, these breaks cannot be picked up by an x-ray because the fractures are underneath the gum line, which makes it difficult for us to see. If your adolescent has one cracked tooth, he or she is more likely to develop another one. Cracked tooth syndrome is frequently associated with the lower molars due to forceful chewing and biting.
Sometimes a cracked tooth may or may not cause your kid any pain. It all depends on where the break occurs on the tooth. Signs and symptoms of this dental injury include pain in a tooth when biting or chewing, temperature sensitivity to heat or cold, and loose dentition. A cracked tooth may be difficult for us to diagnose because the signs and symptoms are not consistent.
Why is a Fractured Tooth Dangerous for Kids?
A tooth fracture can be very dangerous to your kids because it can cause them extreme discomfort and pain. In addition, an abscess or bacterial infection may develop inside of the tooth. Your child can even experience tooth loss. The bacterial infection can become so bad that the nerves in a tooth can perish no matter what treatment options are undertaken. The only alternative left is to extract or remove the infected tooth.
Moreover, a cracked tooth hurts because biting or chewing food cause these broken pieces to move around and the soft inner tissue of the tooth can become irritated. The pulp of a tooth is the soft tissue inside of it, which contains blood vessels and nerves. The pulp may get so damaged that this soft tissue can no longer repair itself. This can make your kid's tooth hurt and he or she may feel sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures. An abscess is an extreme infection of the pulp, which can spread to the bone surrounding the tooth. Your adolescent can become hospitalized because of an untreated tooth infection. Parents you do want your children to lose their teeth too early because it can affect how they talk, chew food, and think about their self-image. Inappropriate eating habits can negatively impact your kid's growth and development. Do not take any chances because a fractured tooth can be detrimental to the overall health and wellbeing of your children.
You can help your children avoid getting a fractured tooth by encouraging them not to chew on hard food or candy. Make sure they use fluoride toothpaste because it can help strengthen their tooth enamel and reduce tooth decay. Furthermore, help your kids learn to practice good oral hygiene and schedule routine dental exams with one of our practitioners. Please seek prompt assistance if you suspect a fractured tooth or an infection. A fractured tooth can be very dangerous to your kid's overall health.
Please contact us today to schedule an appointment. One of our dentists can do an oral examination of your child's mouth to determine the best treatment options. If he or she has an abscess, our expert will administer antibiotics if the infection has spread beyond his or her tooth. A cracked tooth can be repaired if your adolescent gets treatment. If you fail to act, you will have to pay for a costly root canal or even a tooth extraction.

Calibre Askari. ‘Y’ Wouldn’t You?
The latest wheel from niche wheel house Calibre should appeal to an awful lot of owners. Launching towards the end of 2012, The Askari is an innovative new take on the ever-popular ‘Y Spoke’ genre, balancing stunning motorsport looks, with the fit and finish of an OEM quality wheel. Another result for the talented R&D team at Calibre.
An attractive gloss black centre sits within a highly polished and very deep-set lip, making this wheel tick all sorts of boxes for the current set of trends. The spoke profile offers good caliper clearance and brake cooling, whilst really accentuating the contrast between the two surface finishes. Most popular PCDs are covered, including 4-100, 4-108, 5-100, 5-110 & 5-112, making it perfect for many Euro, Modified and VAG chassis.

In turbulent contemporary times, investors tend to be more and more conscious of the fact that times of inspiration, speculation, feeling in the financial markets have passed. And if not passed, at least changed. You buy today, you sell tomorrow. Or you buy now, and sell later. It’s crazy! You can barely think about long-term investments. I mean building a portfolio as a wedding gift for your children. Unless you are a genius…but who believes in geniuses of financial markets? Oh, yes. There is a group of so-called geniuses of the 2001.
I’m sure that the first thing you must be thinking of is the real estate. And yet, compared to the real estate, gold has been going way above imagination! I think the most appropriate approach is history-connected. I mean...ok, these guys might as well have been geniuses, but even if so, there must have been a “flashing star” , a divine source of inspiration, something.
In every pre-recession period, there is this longtime myth of gold saying that “gold did not fall during the Great Depression”. True indeed, just that the 1930s experience is economically irrelevant for our times. What happened next? Well, gold fell in the 1974/75 recession. Began to rise by almost 50%, and again fell in the 1974/75 recession. Again fell in 2000 prior to the 2001 recession. It was high time people knew how it worked! And there arrived the geniuses investors! In the 2001s they bet on gold. And they did right. After 20 years of undervaluation, gold got back on its track. And in the last 7 years, we have assisted to remarkable changes, exhibiting any expectations. $268 in February 2001 to $960 in February 2008.
What should we learn from that now? Well, it’s quite clear: on one hand, in the recession time, price tends to fall. Why? Because people are desperate for cash. They fear. The marginal sellers become more active than the marginal buyers, and, like for every market that responds to supply and demand, the asset holders see their assets going down. On the other hand, in times of high price inflation gold is bought as a store of value, naturally leading to a support for the price of gold.
There’s just one “detail” to clarify. What are we heading to? Analysts see different messages from the Fed, trying to choose the most relevant between recession and accelerating price inflation. Looking back, it makes sense now. I think it won’t be the case about talking of a new generation of geniuses. We just have to stay posted, there’s one way or the other.
For the better times ahead!

In 2009, I read about the Jesse tree, a kind of Advent calendar that traces the lineage of Jesus the whole way through the Old Testament, back to God Himself.
Even though we hadn't spent much time in church, I wanted to focus our family's Christmas holiday on Jesus. I wanted time to reflect on Him and pray, and I wanted to share Him with Grace.
I made gorgeous felt ornaments for our tree. I collected readings and prayers from books, websites, and friends. I put together a spiral bound flip book of devotionals that first year.
The flip book didn't work the second year because I had used the dates, and the dates change each year.
I had to start over completely. The second year, I put the devotionals on a stack of index cards held together by a binder ring. That worked, but there wasn't enough room on the cards for the extra information I needed, like the words for some of the songs and the text of the important Bible verses.
Best of all, at the request of my Bible study friends, I made the devotions into an eBook, a file that I could share with other families to help them create their own Jesse trees. The ebook includes all 28 possible days of Advent, plus full-color printable ornaments you can cut out and paste or hang on a paper tree.
In the spirit of the holiday, it's completely free.
While you're here, I would be delighted if you would Like Feels Like Home on Facebook and follow me on Pinterest and Instagram.
Celebrate advent. Grow closer to Jesus.
You are very welcome. I hope you enjoy the Jesse Tree.

Dinas Powys Primary School’s Headteacher, Julie Thompson, was joined by the School’s Staff and Governors, amongst other invited guests, to celebrate the recent publication of the School’s first Estyn Inspection report.
The Primary School was opened in 2015, following the amalgamation of Dinas Powys Infant and Murch Junior School, and has since seen much progress, as showcased in the Estyn report published over the Summer.
The School’s ‘Prospects for Improvement’ were rated as excellent – the highest grade available – whilst the pupils were also stated as having high standards of well-being, a broad curriculum of stimulating topics to study and all benefitting from a rich learning environment. This was said to be complemented by the excellent leadership and good teaching, with the senior leadership team at the School identified as playing a significant role in promoting a professional learning culture.
At the event, a presentation outlined the key features of the Inspection Report.
Dinas Powys Primary School’s Chair of Governors, Jill Davies, congratulated everyone involved with the School, and commended their hard work during the amalgamation journey of the last eighteen months and the subsequent fantastic inspection. She presented Julie Thompson with flowers in recognition of her excellent leadership.
Also present at the celebration was the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Education, Lis Burnett, as well as the Council’s Head of achievement, David Davies.
The School is now in its second year. For more information on Dinas Primary School, and other Schools across the Vale of Glamorgan, visit the Council’s website.


text: The February Issue was a very exciting one for The Window Shop. We were able to feature two very accomplished young women in the fashion industry and begin an initiative which will debut in March. Personally, I love February because, in New York, it always brings snow with it. The theme for February’s issue was style, personal style is something that can change a person’s whole look. I love playing with my own personal style and changing it up ever so often. I hope that this issue inspires in you all a desire to play around with and mix up your personal style, because that is what makes fashion so exciting—it’s never finished and the possibilities are endless. I would like to give a huge thank you to Alexa Ritacco, Vanessa Koo, and Sorelle of Oyster Bay, without you all this issue would have never been possible. I would also like to extend a thank you to all of you amazing and incredible readers and followers. I am able to do what I love because of you all, I want to thank you for being so loyal and always coming back for more. I hope that The February Issue is as exciting for you all as it was for us making it, enjoy.

Embedded device cybersecurity is relatively new compared to our friends with the “big iron” in Managed Information Systems (MIS), so while there are many differences between the two domains, there are a few commonalities; tools and techniques that we can fork / modify for use in the embedded world.
MIS has had years of “teachable moments” (read: “abuse by hackers”) from which they have created techniques to manage before, during, and after an attack. While there are still a lot of unsecured MIS organizations it isn’t for a lack of known best practices to follow.
Solutions are bought, not created.
Can't extend or customize a solution beyond its initial functionality.
Don’t have to worry about physical security - just lock the door to the server farm.
Work with established communication standards; proprietary protocols don’t get much traction.
Cybersecurity is about detecting “data in motion.” Who is moving it? Where is it going?
Logs can be monitored from security appliances to detect attacks in progress.
Benefit from sharing attack information among peers, as attacks are against commonly used infrastructure and protocol standards.
Not constrained by CPU throughput or power to run those CPUs.
No tight timing requirements to be met (communications timings are not deterministic).
Operating systems, communications, and hardware are not designed to be secure.
Operating system vulnerabilities can be used against them.
Application software and database vulnerabilities can be used against them.
Applications and implemented security solutions can be frequently updated.
Denial of service is a big threat.
Little to no control of their end points or what software users will load onto those end points.
Most of these attributes are not guaranteed to be useful in the embedded domain.
In general, MIS treats their domain as a ‘naturally occurring object’ to which security mitigations are added as an afterthought.
Wow, all those differences and yet we still refer to both domains with the same names of “cybersecurity” or “information security” (InfoSec). Could they be any more different?
This is one of the reasons why InfoSec committees who meet to discuss aspects of securing embedded devices usually miss the mark, because a large percentage of the participants come from an MIS background, not an embedded device background.
In general, the embedded domain is treated as a “customized work of art”, with the majority of the requirements proprietary to the manufacturer. This means we can add InfoSec mitigations to this work of art as it is being created, resulting in a more robust, secure device that doesn’t put additional burdens upon the end user.

web3.eth.estimateGas and JSON-RPC estimateGas can be used to see how much gas should be specified for a transaction, before crafting the transaction.
Since it is an estimate, are there any limitations to it? What cases should its use be relied upon less as it may produce an estimate that is not meaningful or accurate?
estimateGas works by pretending the transaction was actually being included in the blockchain, and then returning the exact gas amount that would have been charged if that pretend operation was real. In other words, it uses the exact same procedure a miner would use to calculate the actual fee.
Given this approach, a casual observer might think that there are no limitations and that the estimate will always be exactly right. Unfortunately, they would be mistaken.
Imagine a simple contract which checks the most recent block hash and then calls another large, gas-guzzling contract only if the 10th bit in the block hash is a 1. If you use estimateGas to measure the consumption of a transaction which calls this simple contract, your result will depend entirely on whether the most recent block contained a 1 in the 10th bit of its block hash. If a new block is published between when you call estimateGas and when the transaction is actually included, your estimate has a 50% chance of being wildly wrong. This may seem like a contrived example, but lots of contracts use block hashes as a source of entropy, and change their behaviour based on what the hash is. So this is something that could definitely happen in the wild.
But it gets worse. What if the contract your transaction is calling on changes its behaviour based on the transactions submitted to it? Now it's possible for the gas consumption to be different based on the order in which transactions were submitted.
For example, suppose a commonly called contract nearly always costs only a few hundred gas to call. But it contains one weird clause in its code so that a message signed by a specific key alters its behaviour, making it consume millions of gas every time it is called. The same key is then able to alter the behaviour back. Now the owner of that key can alter the contract's gas consumption at will. If the owner is a miner, they could use this "trapped contract" to turn this gas-wasting behaviour on at the beginning of every block they compute, and off at the end. As long as they never publicly publish these private transactions, then every call of estimateGas will return a low value, while every genuinely submitted transaction will cost millions of gas (which goes straight into the miner's pocket). With a careful contract design, they wouldn't even have to actually perform the calculations, because they know what the result will be. And they could execute this "fee-stealing attack" at random, only performing it occasionally so no one realises until many users have been taken in.
Again, this example is contrived. But the point is that you should always consider if an attacker has something to gain by you making a bad estimate. If there's a possible vector, put additional code into the part of your app to handle the situation where your estimate is wrong. One simple technique you should always use is to include a sane gas limit. That way there is at least an upper bound on what an attacker can do. Beyond that, remember that it's called the estimateGas call, not the guaranteedMaximumGas call and just be reasonable in your reliance on it.
If there is any way for the consequences of your transaction to change depending on when or to whom it is submitted, there is a potential for estimateGas to be wrong by arbitrarily large amounts. Take extra precautions.
One limitation I have found, or at least a noteworthy aspect of the eth.estimateGas method, is that it only works as intended if the actual call does not throw an exception.
This may well be a bug in the current version of geth, but what I have found is that a call to a method that throws an exception always yields the same gas estimate result, which is a value of 50000000 units of gas. At a gas price of 20000000000, my estimateGas calls were yielding exactly 1 ether, which seemed to be a huge amount for a simple call throwing an exception.
This is a little bit of a bummer, since I have not found a reliable way to estimate gas in transactions that actually throw an exception (which do consume gas) - but at least it is worth knowing ;-) So it looks like a good idea to debug.traceTransaction your transaction prior to estimating its gas consumption to make sure it will not throw an exception and it will not give you widely wrong gas estimate.
One limitation (from my own observation, hopefully someone will correct me if I'm miunderstanding) is that even if estimateGas estimates correctly, that doesn't give you the gas limit that you need to set when sending your transaction.
The issue is that refunds are credited only at the end of the transaction, so if you have a transaction that does some work, and cleans up some storage as it goes, you need to set a high enough gas limit to do all the work without the benefit of the refund.

Torque حتی در مورد اتهامی که به او زده شده است هیچ اطلاعی ندارد و واقعا نمیداند که او همسر و فرزندانش را به قتل رسانده است یا نه! جواب همه این سوالات را در پایان این بازی پر ماجرا خواهید یافت و هدف ما از انجام بازی فرار کردن از این جزیره وحشتناک و تلاش برای به یاد آوردن اتفاقاتی که در گذشته رخ داده است ولی انجام این کارها و فرار کردن از این جزیره نیز کار آسانی نخواهد بود برای این که ما در این جزیره تنها نیستیم، زیرا از همان لحظات نخستین که وارد جزیره شده ایم شاهد اتفاقاتی ناگهانی و به قتل رسیدن انسان ها بوده ایم که در پشت همه این حوادث یک اردوی وسیع از جانورانی ترسناک قرار دارد و هدف این جانوران که زندان را به تسلط خود در آورده اند ، نابود کردن همه انسان ها می باشد تا جایی که حتی یک نفر در این جزیره زنده نماند و به همین دلیل شما اولین هدف برای این جانوران می باشید. بازی یک داستان بسیار جذاب را که در بسیاری از فیلم های هالیوودی تعقیب می شود را دنبال می کند و شما در این بازی نمی توانید متوجه شوید که چه چیزی در کجا و چه موقع در حال رخ دادن است!
The Suffering - The player controls Torque, a man who has been sent to Abbott State Penitentiary on Carnate Island, Maryland. Torque has been convicted and sentenced to death for murdering his ex-wife and two children, although he claims to have blacked out at the time this happened and cannot remember anything. The night Torque arrives, there is a powerful earthquake, which releases an army of monsters upon the facility. Torque's cell door breaks and he is freed from captivity. Starting from his cell, Torque traverses the prison in an attempt to escape Carnate Island alive.
During the journey, Torque finds that the monsters set loose personify the many forms of execution the island has played host to. In addition, he is met by the spirits of some of Carnate's most famous residents: the deranged psychologist Dr. Killjoy, the former executioner Hermes T. Haight, and the regretful murderer Horace. With their help, Torque discovers that he can transform into a raging monster himself (other characters assert that these "transformations" are merely a sort of adrenaline-fueled madness). Killjoy is obsessed with curing Torque, though his methods are questionable, and at various points delivers vague medical advice. Horace and Hermes, on the other hand, try to sway Torque towards good or evil, respectively. Torque meets several other characters along the way, whose fate is variable. For example, he can team up with a corrections officer while traversing the island's forest.
At the climax of the game, Torque is confronted by visions of his deceased family. Depending on the player's actions, they will either forgive Torque (because it was not him who murdered them) or blame him for their troubles (because it was him, either in whole or in part). After facing his inner demon, himself, and a monster born of his hatred, Torque is found by a rescue boat, though his fate past this point is dependent on what his family thinks of him. Depending on his actions, Torque will: be rescued and get a re-trial; knock out the driver and escape; or become his inner demon, kill the driver, and run back into the island.
The Suffering plays as a traditional first or third-person shooter, employing the controls of the former but allowing players to switch between the two camera angles. The weapons provided to the player are reminiscent of those found in prisons: shivs, revolvers, Molotov cocktails, and a wide array of less common weapons.

Vienna: Austria’s capital, which nurtured the talents of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Mahler, plus local boys Schubert and Strauss. It’s also the site of the Vienna Secession, a revolutionary art movement founded in 1897 by luminaries like Gustav Klimt. Visitors today can see the fruits of all that creativity in the city’s 100-odd museums—including the Belvedere and the Museum Moderner Kunst—and hear it at legendary opera houses such as the Staatsoper and Theater an der Wien.
Florence: For Renaissance art, there’s no better destination than Florence. Home to some of Michelangelo’s best-known works. Galleria dell’Accademia and the landmark Galleria degli Uffizi are stunning, and contemporary art fans can get their fix at Florence’s Centro di Cultura Contemporanea Strozzina.
Barcelona: Visit the Museu Picasso, home to one of the biggest collections of Picasso works in the world, and the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya, or contemporary galleries like Artevistas. It might be more architecture than art, but a trip to Barcelona wouldn’t be complete with ogling the awe-inspiring works of Gaudi – head to Sagrada Família and Parc Güell for some of the most stunning examples.
Berlin: Home to one of the world’s most varied arts scene with long-standing institutions like the Alte Nationalgalerie and Gemäldegalerie, and the more recently established Neue Nationalgalerie with its collection of modern 20th-century art. Wander through Friedrichshain for alternative art spaces like East Side Gallery, a 1.3 km section of the Berlin Wall today displaying the works of over 100 international artists.
Tokyo: Roppongi – home to the Mori Art Museum, National Art Center and smaller spaces like Ota Fine Arts. Over in Taito, the prestigiousSCAI The Bathhouse.
Mexico City: The City has hosted its own contemporary art fair, Material Art Fair, while contemporary galleries like House of Gaga and Kurimanzutto are making waves on the international art scene. Stop by the Palacio Nacional to see Diego Rivera’s awe-inspiring mural El mundo de hoy y de mañana and the beautiful La Casa Azul for works by fellow Mexican luminary Frida Kahlo.
San Francisco: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) was the West Coast’s first museum dedicated to modern and contemporary art in 1935. Fans of fine art the De Young Museum is a must-visit, as is check out San Francisco’s Mission District – brimming with vibrant murals.
Chicago: Home to world-class institutions like the Museum of Contemporary Art and Art Institute of Chicago, or wander around The Loop to find several public artworks. Former warehouse district River North is another arty hotspot and with over 100 art galleries calling the neighborhood home.
Santa Fe: On a first visit, it can seem there are more art galleries than restaurants in the city—they line the central plaza and its side streets, while the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum is downtown’s centerpiece. The Museum of International Folk Art is packed with 130,000 objects, a tribute to craftspeople from around the world, while the annual SWAIA Indian Market, which runs every August, is the showcase for the region’s Native American artists and artisans.


text: With the warming of the earth, life returns anew at the vernal equinox. Join us for a day of celebration including reading of sacred texts, poetry, shamanic fire ceremony and a communal meal as we usher in the new season.
