Mozilla fixed eight vulnerabilities, three critical, in the 21st build of its flagship Firefox browser yesterday.
One of the fixes remedies an Address Sanitizer memory corruption flaw (MFSA 2013-48) that could’ve allowed remote code execution. The other two critical flaws could’ve also led to arbitrary code execution and deal with fixing memory safety bugs (MFSA 2013-41), and a video resizing bug (MFSA 2013-46) in Firefox and Thunderbird.
For a complete list of the bugs fixed by Firefox 21, all 681 of them, head to Bugzilla.
The latest version of the browser also introduces something Mozilla is calling the Firefox Health Report, a tool that aims to give users a comprehensive look into the browser’s health and usage. The report will breakdown any insecure and unstable plugins it blocks throughout the day and will also document crash history and malware attack history, according to a post on Mozilla’s Future Releases blog by Jonathan Nightingale, the company’s Vice President of Engineering.
Users can choose whether they want the tool to share data Mozilla gathers about their browser with the company. If shared, the information will be aggregated and anonymized and used to help Firefox’s security team improve the browser. Users can change their preferences in the Data Choices section of the browser’s Options menu.
The update also brings expanded social API and Do Not Track options to help users better customize their privacy settings.
The social API opens the browser up to sidebar and toolbar providers like Cliqz, msnNOW and Mixi, while the Do Not Track update tweaks an already existing setting in the browser. The new default privacy setting doesn’t tell websites anything about the users’ tracking preferences. Users can change that and choose whether they want to tell sites if they want to be tracked (Do Track, Do Not Track, No Preference) in the settings.
The updates are being pushed to Firefox users via the browser’s automatic update system, per usual. Those who don’t have that set up can download them through both the Firefox and Thunderbird download pages.

Absurdity of Mueller report turns legal system on its head
The Mueller investigation was tasked with exactly the same function as had three prior investigations performed by the House, Senate and FBI. All four came to the same conclusion. No one from the Donald Trump campaign committed an indictable offense within the scope of the subject matter being investigated that could be proven by lawyer/investigators in a court of law. That should be the end of the story, but we all know that is not possible in the political environment in the world of the Dem/Media collaboration hell-bent on overturning the results of a Presidential election that they did not approve of.
As I have understood, given my nearly 70 years as a reasonably educated and legally astute citizen of the USA, our legal system is predicated somewhat in this manner. A person or persons may reasonably be suspected of having done something illegal, they are investigated and if the preponderance of evidence actually leads to an indictment, the accused has the right to stand trial by a jury of peers and is either convicted or acquitted. That should be the end of the story.
In the case of Donald Trump and his campaign, despite the four separate investigations all leading to the same conclusion, a report was issued by the fourth and most celebrated investigative team, the Mueller report, which under law was to be submitted to the Attorney General of the U.S. with findings and recommendations. Despite being under no constitutional or legal obligation to reveal even one word of that report to the public, only its conclusions, AG Barr made public as much as he could under the law, pointing out the full cooperation of the President with no refusal to make available people or documents and no claims of executive privilege.
As an aside, compare that to the actions of the prior administration during many prior investigations during the past eight years. What was revealed in the Mueller report was a document remarkable, not for its legal findings of no indictable offenses, but for its additional and unprecedented components.
Presented in two parts, the first concluded the same as the prior three investigations — that Trump and his people committed no indictable offenses and were cleared of any legal wrongdoing. What followed was a totally superfluous part two — an unprecedented political document which came to conclusions the character of which have no place within our courts of law. The gist of part two is that the 18 Democratic partisans who investigated Trump wanted to provide fodder for future criticism of their target by claiming the peculiar concept of a "lack of exoneration" for obstruction of their probe. Think about it. What other possible purpose could such a declaration serve?
If any of us here are ever investigated for a crime and not charged, I wonder what our reaction would be if those investigating us or even a judge said "We did not charge our target person but they were not exonerated of rape, murder, wife beating, sodomy, child molestation or treason." Under that circumstance, how does one defend himself? If powerless to do so legally because there is no mechanism, might one feel compelled to publicly call it B.S.?
Think about it. What the Mueller team did was and is despicable and designed to further the malignancy of the political discourse for years to come — at the expense of doing the true work of the people.

Gallardo and Brewers Defense Shine in Pittsburgh!
Yovani Gallardo pitched 7 scoreless innings and Francisco Rodriguez earned his 1st four out save since 2011 as the Milwaukee Brewers shut out the Pittsburgh Pirates 1-0 Sunday afternoon at PNC Park. The Brewers defense was outstanding, Ryan Braun threw out Neil Walker at home in the 1st inning and Jean Segura saved a run in the 9th inning with a diving stop at shortstop. And Rodriguez earned his 19th save of the season when Carlos Gomez made a nice running catch to end the game. With the win, Gallardo is now 4-4 on the season and the Brewers are 38-26 in 2014. The Brewers only had 4 hits on the day with Jonathan Lucroy getting three of those hits. Lucroy scored the only run in the 7th on a Aramis Ramirez RBI Ground Out. The Brewers will have the day off on Monday before beginning a three game series in New York versus the Mets. News Talk 1150-WHBY will have the pre-game show at 5:35pm and first pitch at 6:10pm. Marco Estrada gets the start for the Brewers.

Never before has America’s Test Kitchen collected, in one volume, the enormous and indispensable wealth of information we have amassed in 20 years of teaching people how to cook. Our recent title, What Good Cooks Know: 20 Years of Test Kitchen Expertise in One Essential Handbook, is a fully illustrated almanac of food and cooking that includes everything you need to master your kitchen.
Good cooks know how to cook salmon. With the help of What Good Cooks Know, Heidi from the Foodie Crush blog found a recipe for poached salmon that has now become her go-to for brunch, lunch, or dinner.
“This poached salmon recipe is a prime example of being healthy-ish, formal-ish, and totally stylish for cooking any time," writes Heidi. "And because both the salmon and the sauce hold up especially well, it's perfect for a simple-ish brunch, lunch, or dinner buffet."
For a poached salmon recipe with supple salmon accented by the delicate flavor of the poaching liquid—in under half an hour—we came up with some tricks. To start, we arrange lemon slices in a skillet and rest the salmon on the lemon slices to prevent the bottom from overcooking. Our recipe also uses a shallow poach method. We use less poaching liquid, allowing the salmon to cook at a lower temperature, preserving flavor.
Sign up for the Notes from the Test Kitchen newsletter
Our favorite tips and recipes, enjoyed by 2 million+ subscribers!
“The cookbook gives two recipes for topping the poached fish: one with an herb and caper vinaigrette (yes!), and the one I’ve done here, a mustard, dill and sour cream sauce flavored with shallots,” writes Heidi.
Both sauces take advantage of the flavor from the poaching liquid, and they both come together really quickly (and very flavorfully).
“The goal of this cookbook is to become a one-stop reference guide for every level of cook to learn the secrets to success in the kitchen," writes Heidi. "True to America’s Test Kitchen form, they cover ALL of the bases.”
What Good Cooks KnowIf every kitchen came with a manual, this would be it. From foolproof techniques, including the best way to get a good sear on a steak and how to butterfly a chicken, to hundreds of invaluable product reviews, this one-stop reference has all the authority of the test kitchen’s extensive tasting, testing, and recipe development protocols behind it.

Six suspected drug dealers have been arrested in Berlin for allegedly running a cocaine delivery service in the German capital, investigators said on Tuesday.
About 200 officers raided 14 properties in the early morning hours, the police said in a statement.
The raid a five-month investigation into 13 suspects of varying nationalities, aged between 23 and 45.
They are associated with Berlin’s organised crime scene and are said to have operated a lucrative drug dealing network.
A Berlin public prosecutor said the gang is believed to have conducted more than 2,200 sales of cocaine with their cocaine taxi.

Those looking to explore the supernatural may be drawn to the Sven Camrath 'Ghost Hunting Tools' app. The application lets users easily detect and "hunt" ghosts and spirits with its sophisticated EMF meters, EVP detection, and word analysis – making it ideal for beginners and novices alike.
The EMF meters is an instrument that read the fluctuation in an electromagnetic field, a possible sign of paranormal activity. The EVP detection tool, on the other hand, which stands for Electronic Voice Phenomena, are grunts, words, or even simple sentences caught on tape during recording sessions. The word analysis will interpret the audio alongside the EMF meter and translate the approximate meaning of the captured sounds from the built-in dictionary.

A five-minute browse on Facebook can boost your self-esteem, according to a University of Derby academic.
Psychology lecturer Dr Zaheer Hussain also says that using the social media platform can help to reduce stress levels – and that people who feel stressed are likely to spend more time scrolling through their newsfeed to seek support.
Dr Hussain, along with colleague Adam O’Sullivan, decided to conduct the study after previous research linked intensive Facebook use to mental health problems, such as eating disorders and depression, as well as isolation, skipping meals, headaches and eye irritation.
He said: “Previous research has predominantly investigated narcissism, self-esteem, and stress as predictors for Facebook usage as standalone measures. However, no research has investigated the possibility of all three measures combined being predictors of Facebook usage.
“Our study set out to fill this gap by investigating how narcissism, self-esteem, and stress affect Facebook intensity usage.”
In total, 163 Facebook users – 43 males and 120 females – were surveyed before and after a short session on the social media platform. And the results showed that a five-minute browse on Facebook can immediately result in increased levels of self-esteem.
Dr Hussain said: “This may be because users who browsed their close friends, chatted with them, or viewed positive content on social networking sites would display a momentary increase in self-esteem.
“The study also found that the higher the levels of perceived stress in an individual resulted in an increased use of Facebook to find social support.
Does browsing Facebook make you feel better about yourself?
0+ VOTES SO FAR
“There was a slight decrease in stress and narcissism levels after the Facebook session but these were not statistically significant changes.”
Dr Hussain now hopes the findings could help to develop prevention programmes for people who experience problems due to their use of social networking sites.
It is not the first time Dr Hussain has looked into how technology is impacting on people’s lives. In 2015, he co-authored the UK’s first research study into smartphone addiction and discovered that the more you use a smartphone, the higher the risk of becoming addicted.
That survey found that 13.3% of smartphone users were classed as addicted and 87% reported using social networking sites most frequently, some described Facebook as "addictive" and stated that logging into Facebook was the first thing they did in the morning and the last thing they did at night.
He said this suggested that addiction may not necessarily be to the smartphone but more to the Facebook application with the device “merely a convenient gateway to access it”.

SUNBURY — WASHINGTON — In ordering hundreds of military advisers to Iraq and dramatically ramping up intelligence-gathering on jihadist fighters threatening Baghdad, President Barack Obama sent his strongest signal yet that U.S. airstrikes against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) may be likely.
Since ISIL fighters took control of two key Iraqi cities last week, the U.S. military and intelligence agencies have blanketed portions of the country with spy satellites and drones, giving them what one senior administration official called "round-the-clock coverage" of locations where ISIL is active. The military personnel headed to Iraq -- as many as 300, Obama said -- will work alongside Iraqi military forces in special intelligence centers, using drone video feeds and spy satellite photographs to track and attack ISIL fighters. They'll also be in a prime position to help carry out U.S. airstrikes the moment Obama orders them.
In remarks from the White House this week, Obama didn't say that airstrikes are imminent. He stressed that the only long-term solution to Iraq's stabilization will come from political reconciliation between the Shiite-led government and the marginalized Sunni minority. But he left no doubt that he's putting all the pieces in place to launch the first significant military action in Iraq since U.S. forces left there in 2011.
"We will be prepared to take targeted and precise military action if and when we determine that the situation on the ground requires it," Obama said. Echoing the commander-in-chief, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said in a statement: "The Department of Defense will continue to plan and prepare further military options should they become necessary and we will remain ready to protect our diplomats, our citizens, and our interests in Iraq."
In the short term, spies, not soldiers, will likely fuel any gains against ISIL. Prior to possible airstrikes, there will be "a broader intelligence mission that includes a significant amount of [intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance], and then we'll be making decisions about specific targets," a senior administration official told reporters after Obama's remarks.

First of all, I’m sorry that I’ve been gone for so long. I’ve moved, and had no internet for a couple of weeks, and my life has been upside down and in chaos. It’s a big change for me. I was living with my family, now I’m living on my own. It wasn’t completely my choice, as things had become, let’s say not pleasant, at home. But I am enjoying my freedom, even though it’s a bit terrifying.
My writing has taken a complete backslide, as has blogging, as you may have noticed. I’ve started NaNoWriMo, but I think this year might be the first time I lose. I’m currently only nearly 3000 words in.
I have gotten so far behind with all your wonderful blogs it’s ridiculous, and again, I apologise. I am going to get back into reading them, and am aching to get back into #blogbattle! I have missed weeks, and have missed reading the stories people come up with.
So, how have you all been? Anything exciting happen while I’ve been away?
PS. This quote has gotten me through the last month:
Everything you want is on the other side of fear.

There's no need to get hot under the collar about barbecue costs this summer; a few DIY fixes will help you save money without sacrificing your cook-off.
1. Build your BBQ
Instead of buying a barbecue, you can build your own, longer-lasting model for a similar cost. All it takes is enough bricks and cement to make two small walls, leaving shelves for a metal charcoal tray and the grill. iFood.tv have detailed instructions if you need further guidance.
Alternatively, you could salvage old barbecues by giving them a good scrub and using foil to cover any rust holes in the bowl. It's cheaper and more environmentally friendly than a disposable, and will last at least another summer. If you don't have one of your own, try finding one on the Freecycle Network.
2. Make your own marinades and seasonings
Expensive bottles of branded sauces and condiments are great if you want to show you've splashed out, but if you're on a budget you can easily whip up your own.
Seasonings can be customised from a salt or pepper base, with herbs like rosemary, thyme and cumin added to taste. If you have your own herb garden, now's the time to use your homegrown ingredients. For sauces, use tomato sauce or mayonnaise as your base and mix with a careful selection of cayenne pepper, mustard seeds, paprika or turmeric. It'll save plenty of pennies, and if you get it right you'll also get kudos from your foodie friends.
3. Raid your recycling
Fire lighters are an expensive addition to your barbecue armoury. A well-aerated pile of charcoal can easily be kindled using balled-up paper from your recycling, but your options don't end there.
If you have a tumble dryer, the lint trap contains a hidden hoard of kindling just waiting to be dried, balled and burnt. Cotton balls can also be daubed with Vaseline to make handy little fire starters or, for a more natural approach, dried moss from the garden works just as well.
4. Create a BBQ budget
Once you've decided where to scrimp and where to splurge, make a strict budget to ensure you don't leave anything to chance. Make the most of Money Dashboard's free money management software to view all of your accounts, income and monthly spending, and to assess how much you can afford. Once you're decided on how much to spend, cost the meats, drinks and accessories online to ensure you don't overspend in store. If you can, save by buying in bulk and freezing any excess food for later.
5. Keep your grill rust free
Once your barbecue's gone with a bang, don't neglect your equipment. After removing the coals, clean the surface and grill down with warm, soapy water, being careful not to chip any of the chrome plating because that's what's protecting the rust-prone steel underneath. Surfaces should then be oiled down with a mixture of vegetable oil and salt to ensure that water won't seep in before you next fire up the grill. When protected this way, even cheap barbecues can last for years.

Global Green Hydrogen Market Size, Share, and COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Technology (Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolysis, Alkaline Electrolysis, Solid Oxide Electrolysis & Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) Electrolysis), By Application (Offshore & Onshore), By End-Use (Power & Energy, Transportation, Chemical, Industrial, Manufacturing & Others) and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa) Analysis and Forecast 2022-2028
KEY MARKET INSIGHTS
The global Green Hydrogen Market was valued at USD 1.2 billion in 2021. The market is projected to grow USD 9.8 Bn in 2028, at a CAGR of 51.6%. Green hydrogen is one of the types of hydrogen produced from water using electrolysis. Green hydrogen can be manufactured by several processes such as biogas reforming, water-gas-shift reaction, and hydrogen separation. Hydrogen is non-toxic to the environment, and it may be stored and transformed into energy or heat as needed.
Green hydrogen is an important part of the energy equation, and hydrogen is a fundamental renewable energy resource. Because it is produced using solar energy, it is one of the most important circular carbon economy (CCE) ideas. In contrast to carbon-based energy found in natural gas and other fossil fuels, it is produced using renewable energy sources.
The demand for green hydrogen is surging in recent years owing to the ability to reduce CO2 emissions. Also, helps meet the growing demand for electricity around the world. Consumer awareness regarding the benefits of hydrogen as an energy carrier is propelling the growth of the global green hydrogen market. Furthermore, rising environmental concerns are driving market growth and emphasizing the necessity for renewable/clean energy generation to reduce emissions.
Furthermore, the green hydrogen market is growing due to the increased usage of nuclear and green hydrogen fuels. For instance, in March 2022, Toyota launched its hydrogen-based Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV), Toyota Mirai in India to make a huge shift from fossil fuel and an initiative to conserve the environment.
The impact of Covid-19 had a stagnant impact on the global green hydrogen market. Many European and Asian governments have announced new projects and feasibility studies including various technologies. The main effect of COVID-19 on the green hydrogen market was that it caused delays in projects since raw material supplies were affected owing to lockdowns. Green hydrogen has finally reached the pre-commercialization stage and is poised to play a critical role in global decarbonization.
Growing Number of Green Hydrogen Development Projects
An increasing number of green hydrogen innovations is driving the growth of the global green hydrogen market. Several initiatives are advancing the understanding of manufacturing hydrogen and other forms are mainly used to clean fuel to power during the forecast period. For instance, Air Products is focusing on the development of a green hydrogen production plant that is capable of producing 650 tons of green hydrogen fuel every day. Spain has recently made significant investments in hydrogen production. They announced a 10-year investment of $10.5 billion in Green Hydrogen technology, with the goal of using hydrogen to enable their trucking and shipping industries to achieve zero-emission outputs. Because they now manufacture a big amount of hydrogen from fossil fuels, Spain is investing in green hydrogen. Siemens Energy is constructing a 1 MW hydrogen generation system for a Beijing fueling station, which will be the country's first megawatt-scale green hydrogen plant.
Rising Demand for Decarbonizing Around the World
Shifting to zero-emission goals is the primary initiative witnessed by consumers. Manufacturing, energy, and transportation sectors are increasingly turning to hydrogen to minimize their carbon footprints as a result of increased government requirements and investor pressure to decarbonize. Vehicles that use hydrogen directly in fuel cells or internal combustion engines are being developed by the mobility sector. Hydrogen-powered forklifts have previously been created and are in use in a number of industries in Europe, Asia, and North America. By 2030, the countries want to more than double the number of hydrogen-powered vehicles.
Increasing Usage of Green Hydrogen Among Different Applications
For balancing the periodic of reusable resources, many industries, including oil and gas, utility, steel, and fertilizers, are turning to green hydrogen. Furthermore, this type of hydrogen is being used on a large scale as a carbon-free energy source in the industrial, chemical, and transportation sectors. Aside from these industrial applications, the ability to store green hydrogen in existing gas pipes to power domestic appliances would result in a gradual growth in household demand for green hydrogen. It turns renewable energy into a carrier like ammonia, which can then be utilized in a fuel cell to power anything that runs on electricity, like electric vehicles and electronic devices. Green hydrogen's numerous and cost-effective applications are propelling global revenue growth.
High Manufacturing Cost in Generating Green Hydrogen
The initial cost of producing green hydrogen is quite high, and the absence of infrastructure to transport and store it adds to the difficulty. The fixed cost of constructing the plant is only half the battle; transporting green hydrogen presents additional economic and safety concerns. Green hydrogen is almost 2times more expensive than grey hydrogen on average. The expense of application technology is increased. Although stored hydrogen can be utilized to create power, it is used at a lower rate than other storage systems due to its low round-trip productivity. Furthermore, storing hydrogen energy is a highly expensive operation when compared to other fossil fuels.
The global Green Hydrogen Market is segmented by Technology (Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolysis, Alkaline Electrolysis, Solid Oxide Electrolysis & Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) Electrolysis), by Application (Offshore & Onshore), by End-Use (Power & Energy, Transportation, Chemical, Industrial, Manufacturing & Others) and Region. Based on the technology, the market is categorized into Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolysis, Alkaline Electrolysis, Solid Oxide Electrolysis & Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) Electrolysis. Based on application, the market is categorized into Offshore & Onshore. Based on End-Use, the market is categorized into Power & Energy, Transportation, Chemical, Industrial, Manufacturing & Others. Based on the region, the market is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, and Africa.
Based on technology, it is categorized into Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolysis, Alkaline Electrolysis, Solid Oxide Electrolysis & Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) Electrolysis. The Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolysis segment dominated the global green hydrogen market share owing to the most used type among population because of its versatility and methods to use.
PEM electrolysis offers the advantage of being able to respond fast to the fluctuations that are common in renewable energy generation. Because the equipment is low-maintenance and supplies high-quality gas, this technology is frequently employed for distributed systems. They are more capable of dealing with the intermittent nature of electricity from wind or solar than alkaline water electrolysis, and they have a substantially smaller footprint.
PEM electrolyzes are less expensive in comparison to alkaline electrolyzes. It also has a faster response time, resulting in faster heat-up and cool-down. For instance, Cummins has provided a 20-megawatt PEM electrolyzer system to generate green hydrogen, making it the largest in operation in the world.
Based on application, it is categorized into offshore & onshore. The offshore segment dominated the global green hydrogen market share owing to the high generation of electricity as compared to onshore wind capacity and this expansion could be a crucial factor in establishing a green hydrogen economy. Offshore wind capacity is likely to surpass demand in parts of Europe soon, and the resulting power can be used to produce clean, green hydrogen. For instance, in July 2021, Neptune Energy has launched the world’s first offshore green hydrogen project on an operational oil or gas platform, using a facility in the Dutch North Sea. The focus of the company is to convert seawater into demineralized water.
Based on End-Use, it is categorized into power & energy, transportation, chemical, industrial, manufacturing & others. The transportation segment dominated the global green hydrogen market share owing to the huge development in transportation in turn increasing demand for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) across the world. The use of green hydrogen in the transportation industry reduces pollution in the environment, enabling the success of Green Globe Projects. For instance, in 2019, according to the article of IEA stating there will be huge expansion in usage of green hydrogen across transport through fleets, freight and corridors which will power passengers and goods along popular routes can make fuel-cell vehicles more competitive.
The green hydrogen market is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Europe region is expected to dominate the market share owing to the heavy investments in green hydrogen developments and the presence of major automotive manufacturers which are focusing on shifting the concept of IC engines along with manufacturing lightweight and fuel-efficient engines. Furthermore, the region is implementing more renewable energy policies.
For instance, BMW and Audi are building hydrogen fuel-cell passenger vehicle prototypes alongside their fleets of battery cars. However, Asia Pacific is expected to account highest CAGR across the forecast period due to the growing capabilities for the development of infrastructures for storing green hydrogen. For instance, according to a survey in 2020, Korea and Japan are leading the way among Asian countries in investing in green hydrogen projects. Both countries, particularly its industrial behemoths such as Toyota and Hyundai, are pioneering hydrogen fuel cell technology as one of several potential clean transportation options.

SNMP is a networking management protocol used to monitor network-attached devices. SNMP allows messages (called protocol data units) to be sent to various parts of a network. Upon receiving these messages, SNMP-compatible devices (called agents) return data specific to certain parameters that are monitored to the SNMP manager. Furthermore to supporting SNMP services, Axigen also supports SNMP Traps.
How Chart Information Is Collected & Processed
Now we will detail how the Axigen mail server collects and processes chart data and how various settings can influence the display of the charts. This will help you in the process of understanding and reading the defined charts, and further help in the process of creating new charts based on the available parameters.
When the sample interval is reached (default: once every minute), Axigen performs the following operations:
Increases or decreases all the SNMP counters based on the read parameter information;
Stores all the parameter information based on which charts can be created;
The Axigen configuration file is checked for defined charts;
After all the defined charts are inventoried. The remaining parameter data that does not correspond to a defined chart is discarded;
If the aggregation interval is reached, the aggregation function is applied on the previously recorded values of the remaining parameters. The resulted value is written in the defined chart's database used for displaying charts;
If the aggregation interval is not reached, then the recorded values of the parameters are stored in memory with each sample interval until the aggregation interval is reached.
SNMP Configuration Steps
In addition to the charts displayed in the WebAdmin interface, Axigen has a SNMP service (Simple Network Management Protocol). This service can be used as an agent that can be queried using the SNMP protocol. The SNMP agent is read-only for the Axigen configuration settings.
Additionally, the SNMP service is able to send trap signals to configured hosts in one of the following situations:
This feature can be used to notify other monitoring tools about the status of the server. In their turn, these tools can be configured to notify you about the status of the server, by email, phone, pager or other means.
The SNMP Send Traps To All Managers option will determine the Axigen mail server to send trap signals to all the hosts that queried the server using the SNMP protocol when one of the previously mentioned conditions are met.
In order to find the parameters that can be monitored using the SNMP protocol, a MIB file can be downloaded by navigating to the following location:
Login to the WebAdmin interface;
Click on Status & Monitoring;
Click the Reporting service link;
Within the SNMP Parameters section, there is a link for downloading the mentioned file.
Generally, this type of file can be viewed using specialized tools that are able to interpret the format of the file and display it in a human readable form, most often as a tree. These tools are also called MIB browsers and they can be used as SNMP managers, meaning that they can query Axigen for information regarding its reporting parameters’ values. The MIB browsing tools can also be used to send and receive trap signals.
In practice, the tool for interpreting the MIB file is not necessarily required since MIB files are essentially text files that can be viewed using a text editor also.
The MIB file is used for associating a reference tag (also called OID), used to query Axigen for the value of the parameter, with the name of the parameter in a human readable way.
For example, the OID
220.127.116.11.4.1.29463.2.1 represents the reference tag for the Total mails placed in the queue parameter that returns a value which is interpreted as described below.
By querying the reporting parameters using the SNMP protocol, an odd behavior can be observed: the returned values are always increasing instead of reflecting the actual status of the reporting parameter being queried. The explanation is that the tools that retrieve information from Axigen using the SNMP protocol create charts based on the changes from the previous value of the parameter being queried, and not its actual value.
The SNMP reporting feature of the Axigen mail server was designed with the purpose of creating performance representation charts, based on the information provided by the server, in a centralized solution where multiple other services are also monitored.
A typical example is a Network Operations Center where multiple machines and devices are monitored in a centralized way and all the information is consolidated using a SNMP managing tool that interprets trap signals when critical events occur or generates charts reflecting the usage of the managed devices.


Pamesa do Brasil: cutting-edge technology at the end of line with Stretch Hood by Innova
An improved quality of final packaging, a greater safety for transportation, total protection in storage and ultimately a commitment to automation and efficiency. These were the requirements which Pamesa Do Brasil proposed to Innova. With the recent installation of the Stretch Hood line developed by Innova, Pamesa leads the Brazilian ceramic sector in its commitment to innovative technologies such as Stretch Hood for its final packaging.
The end-of-line project was carried out at Pamesa’s main plant in Cabo de Santo Agostinho (Pernambuco – Brazil) in 2018 .Since then, the ceramic manufacturer has managed to optimize both the protection and the final presentation of its product.
Pamesa’s challenge: Improving quality and automation
Pamesa do Brasil proposed a project to automate its final packaging line with the technologies used by the rest of the Pamesa group (with main headquarters in Spain). The project not only had the objective of standardizing and automating the technology, but Pamesa Brasil also required a system that would provide greater protection and stability to their products.
At the moment, at the Pernambuco plant, they were using a semi-automatic wrapping system that did not offer the desired automation or the necessary protection for the ceramic product. Therefore, the Stretch Hood packaging solution was the answer to their protection and automation requirements with high efficiency technologies. In fact, the Brazilian technical team of Pamesa Do Brasil verified at InnovaLAB’s premises the advantages of Stretch Hood for the ceramic product, in addition to visiting all the existing Stretch Hood lines in Pamesa Spain.
Innova’s project: A line designed and manufactured to meet the needs of Pamesa do Brasil
Innova developed an end-of-line project that fully integrated the needs of the Brazilian ceramic manufacturer: plant automation and integration, saving on consumables, extra stability complements and customization of the Stretch Hood film with Pamesa’s corporate brand and colors.
For this purpose, a complete packaging line was designed and manufactured with the following components, in the following order:
- Support complements: Horizontal Strapping System FH Pro. The horizontal strapping machine applied at the beginning of the line provides compactness and initial subjection of the boxes.
- Stability complements: Automatic Wrapping System AWR Pro. A ring wrapper was included in this project, before the Stretch Hood wrapping, which provides additional stability for pallets of great weight and size as in the case of the ceramic product.
- Stretch Hood System SH Pro 1 S2: Finally, the Stretch Hood system provides the ultimate protection. The Stretch Hood tubular film adapts to the dimensions of the pallet and provides protection against rain, UV rays and other external agents for the outdoor storage of pallets, as in the case of Pamesa Do Brasil. In addition, Pamesa’s Stretch Hood machine includes two film reels to adapt to different pallet formats.
- Conveying solutions: To connect the entire line, roller conveyors, centering devices and pallet accumulation conveyors were installed.
The following video produced by Pamesa do Brasil shows how the packaging line works:
The results: maximum protection and quality in the final packaging
Besides meeting the challenges proposed by Pamesa in protection and quality of sheathing, the new line has meant an improvement in the automation of its end of line, as well as an increase in the packaging speed. In the case of Pamesa, it was also important to increase the safety of the pallet for transport, reducing damage or breakage, as this is a product that usually travels by road throughout Brazil.
The project was designed down to the last detail to meet the needs and expectations of Pamesa, so it was recommended the customization of the film with the logo and colors of the company, in order to offer added value in the final presentation of your product.
Innova is proud to work once again with Grupo Pamesa and to have a great partner also in Brazil.
Muito obrigado Pamesa Do Brasil!

On Saturday, November 4, the Chicago Bears waived center Doug Kramer off their 53-man roster, and he was claimed by the Arizona Cardinals the following Monday. Kramer’s stay in the desert lasted only nine days, as he was waived on November 15. He passed through waivers with no team making a claim, and today, the Bears re-signed him to their practice squad.
He was inactive in his only game for the Cardinals on Sunday, November 12.
With Kramer added, the Bears released offensive lineman Matt Farniok from the practice squad.
Kramer, a 25-year-old Hinsdale, Illinois native, was originally a sixth-round draft pick by the Bears in 2022 from the University of Illinois, and he missed his first year while on injured reserve. He made Chicago’s opening season 53-man roster but landed on IR before week one. He was activated and appeared in one game (2 snaps) before being waived.


In the industrial revolution, one of the biggest contributions has been from the heavy machinery that could lift the large items across heights or mileage. Cranes are machines that can lift, pull, tug, carry, and do many such things which must be done on a large. Heavy machinery works in order to be done for establishing industries to maintaining the group. The simplest cranes that might be seen by the public are, that one which has a pedestal and climbs up to the street lights to fix a fuse or replace the broken shreds.
But the real value of the crane services have been aptly utilized inside heavy industries like construction industry, steel and mining industries, sea freight and cargo, transportation, and the like. In such places the crane rental is provided to transport raw materials, containers of mammoth sizes, large and heavy equipments and even smaller cranes, to hold on to materials off trains, ships, trucks, from buildings and even roads.
As it is logically as well as with a generalized conclusion, how the cranes are used for large scale activities, people can visualize the cranes moving about in these areas. Such large businesses and industries go for the crane rental to get in the cranes of different varieties like hydraulic cranes, according to the necessity and then send them back back to the actual from where they were hired.
Simply stating the cranes are simple mechanical devices engage on principles of physics to increase the amount of effect on the stress bearing capacity. This enables the heavy machinery to be hoisted over distances which allows them to range from tub . sizes to substantial truck like appearing equipments. Starting against the small jib like things to be employed inside the indoors to the large tall tower cranes for lifting equipment to heights or distances, a associated with types are being offered.
Many cranes are also of the stationary types that could be seen mostly in the harbors, to used your lifting in the goods that arrive in ships or putting it well on. Most of the construction sites are dotted with your cranes services which deploy a array of such equipments that tend to be in work.
Although human mind is behind the operating systems, the ton of work that retreats into the moving of big equipment to add technologically advanced structures factor that been recently enabled with the crane expertise. Since the times during the early civilizations, humans can see the effect of using such multiplication of forces when doing their do the trick. They have had time to move objects have got innumerable times more this human full capacity. Along with simplicity of moving, the time required in completing projects has been very lesser.
It would not be wrong place the credits of speed of development on use of such machinery. Road developments, infrastructure building, high rises, establishment of new industries females began feeling such project works are usually finished in the shortest time possible, because of the hydraulic cranes deployed in the construction site. Every industry imaginable has the potential to make use of the crane at least its principle of accomplishing work. The work is becoming easier and quicker. End result is improvement of mankind at a rate that sometimes is awe inspiring.

Vighnesh Shivanand better known by his stage name Brodha V, is an Indian hip-hop artiste, lyricist, rapper and music producer. Born in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, the Bangalore-based artist started rapping at the age of 18 and took part in online rap battles on Orkut. As an independent artist, Brodha V released a mixtape called Deathpunch which had a limited release and which garnered him some attention from the hip hop fraternity and the independent music circuit in South India.
ScoopWhoop, Buzzfeed, Storypick and other pop culture websites have listed him as one of the top Indian rappers in the country, and Rolling Stone India considers him as part of "hip hop's elite". The popularity he garnered led him to be signed by Sony Music India in 2013 and he released his single "Aigiri Nandini" under their banner. He has also collaborated with other artists in the Indian film industry such as Raghu Dixit, Vishal Dadlani, Benny Dayal, Raftaar and Anirudh Ravichander.
Brodha V's initial recognition came from active participation in "text battles" on Orkut, a social media network operated by Google. In 2008 D'Brassic, a Delhi-based rapper, started a forum on Orkut called Insignia Rap Combat which helped found an online space for hip-hop artists to write rap battles. After using "Battle Communities" on Orkut to gain recognition and develop a personal style, Brodha V moved on to composing his own songs.
In 2008 he founded Machas With Attitude (MWA) with Smokey the Ghost and Big Nikk. They collaborated with Raghu Dixit and performed the rap portions in the song "Dheaon Dheaon" from the movie Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge. In 2013 the trio won the Radio City Freedom Award and met Vishal Dadlani, who offered to have them work on the film Chennai Express. This collaboration led them to compose the track "Ready Steady Po" for the film, which brought them further recognition in the music industry. The trio disbanded in 2013 to pursue independent careers.
Brodha V's style is a blend of hip-hop, Hindustani classical, Carnatic classical and Indian folk music. Most of his work is delivered in common language, drawn from his own personal experiences.
Brodha V cites the song "Pettai Rap", composed by A. R. Rahman for the Tamil film Kadhalan, as his introduction to rap music. He also cites early '90s East coast rappers Rakim, Nas, Big Pun, Wu-Tang Clan and Jay-Z as his inspiration.

AutoBTC Builder Review: Six-tier 2×2 matrix bitcoin Ponzi cycler
AutoBTC Builder provide no information on their website about who owns or runs the business.
The AutoBTC Builder website domain (“autobtcbuilder.com”) was privately registered on July 14th, 2017.
A marketing video on the AutoBTC Builder website is hosted on a Vimeo account bearing the name “Gregory Aggesen”.
Further research reveals Aggesen confirming he is the owner of AutoBTC Builder on Facebook:
Aggesen’s Facebook history dates back to 2010, with promotion of the collapsed TVI Express pyramid scheme.
More recently Aggesen was linked to the twice collapsed JetCoin Ponzi scheme.
Read on for a full review of the AutoBTC Builder MLM opportunity.
AutoBTC Builder Products
AutoBTC Builder has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market AutoBTC Builder affiliate membership itself.
The AutoBTC Builder Compensation Plan
AutoBTC affiliates purchase 0.0167 to 4.05 BTC positions in a six-tier 2×2 matrix cycler.
A 2×2 matrix places an AutoBTC Builder affiliate at the top of a matrix, with two positions directly under them:
These two positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting these first two positions into another two positions each (4 positions).
Positions in the matrix are filled when new and existing AutoBTC Builder affiliates purchase cycler positions.
Once all six positions in a matrix are filled, a “cycle” is generated and a commission paid out.
Commissions paid out across AutoBTC Builder’s six cycler tiers are as follows:
- Level 1 (positions cost 0.0167 BTC) – pays a 0.05 BTC cycle commission
- Level 2 (positions cost 0.05 BTC) – pays a 0.15 BTC cycle commission
- Level 3 (positions cost 0.15 BTC) – pays a 0.45 BTC cycle commission
- Level 4 (positions cost 0.45 BTC) – pays a 1.35 BTC cycle commission
- Level 5 (positions cost 1.35 BTC) – pays a 4.05 BTC cycle commission
- Level 6 (positions cost 4.05 BTC) – pays a 12.15 BTC cycle commission
Joining AutoBTC Builder
AutoBTC Builder affiliate membership is tied to a 0.0167 to 4.05 BTC cycle position.
Full participation across all six AutoBTC Builder cycler tiers costs 6.0667 BTC.
AutoBTC Builder presents itself as a simple 0.0167 BTC minimum investment Ponzi scheme.
Affiliates invest in cycler positions, with each tier designed to suck up more money.
Affiliate positions are shuffled toward the sixth tier, wherein Gregory Aggesen takes as much money as he or she wants before anyone else.
To provide some perspective to AutoBTC Builder’s compensation plan, 0.0167 BTC payments deliver a potential 12.15 BTC ROI.
That’s 727 first-tier investments, not accounting for additional buy-ins across levels 2 to 6.
Still, it’s pretty obvious most AutoBTC Builder affiliates aren’t going to have 727 investments placed after their own.
On top of that there’s Ponzi math to consider, which guarantees that when a Ponzi scheme collapses the majority of investors lose money.

The last public communication from Redux was in April 2017, when it unveiled its Panel Audio technology, which uses haptic vibrations and "bending wave" sounds to turn smartphone and tablet screens into high-quality speakers. If replaced, that could leave more space for a larger battery or other components: even, perhaps, the return of the 3.5mm headphone jack, were Google so inclined.
The Bloomberg report says that the shares were transferred to Google on December 13.
Some lucky tech developer in Cambridge has achieved the cashing-out dream, with no less a cash bag than Google agreeing to buy the mad-sounding speaker technology created by Redux.
For Google, a company keen to prove itself in the world of hardware, the attraction of such tech is obvious.
In 2006 it acquired video-sharing platform behemoth Youtube for a deal exceeding $1.5 billion (£1.2 billion). The company had 178 granted patents, according to its LinkedIn page. The Verge was actually able to try out the startup's technology past year on a tablet. Redux is the developer of an innovative technology that allows surfaces, such as smartphone displays and PC monitors, to act as speakers. The sound quality is said to be "decent".
Mike Pettine is Packers' Defensive Coordinator
His defenses with the Jets were first, third, fifth, and eighth, and his Bills defense was 10th in his lone season in Buffalo. Pettine's scheme, like Ryan's, is rooted in a 3-4 system that relies heavily on press man cornerbacks and myriad blitzes.
The company now has 178 granted patents and more than 50 patents pending. Google might also use the acquisition to improve its future handsets' haptic feedback.
Redux raised $5m in March 2017 from investors including Arie Capital.
Alphabet has a range of potential uses for the technology.
According to Bloomberg, Redux was purchased via an Ireland-based subsidiary of Google at some point past year.
This appears to be the latest in a string of takeovers from the tech conglomerate. At the CES consumer electronics conference in Las Vegas this week, Google is heavily promoting its voice-controlled speakers that compete with Amazon.com Inc.'s Echo device.

Spotify is making its editorial playlists more personalized
- Tuesday, March 26th, 2019
- Share this article:
The Spotify editorial team, which is in charge of building the streaming service’s library of playlists, will now be making each playlist personalized to every listener. In a blog post published today, the platform revealed they are tweaking their playlist ecosystem so users can stream more new music and hidden artists can be discovered.
“Some playlists will now be personalized for each listener based on their particular taste. This means that for those specific playlists, no two will be the same,” said the post.
By changing the way songs are added to playlists, Spotify hopes to get specific music “in front of the right listeners.” While testing the feature with a select pool of listeners, Spotify found that users listened longer, the number of artists featured on editorial playlists jumped 30 per cent, and the number of songs users discovered increased by 35 per cent.
The post continued, “We found that, after discovering a song through a personalized editorial playlist, the number of listeners who then seek out the track on their own for repeat listens is up by 80 per cent. In fact, the average number of times a listener saves a track is up 66 per cent—all of which is good news for artists.”
Spotify also wanted to give artists a way of sharing the editorial playlists they will now appear on, so it created unique links that are shareable via Spotify for Artists and Spotify Analytics. When someone clicks on the unique link shared by the artist, they will be taken to the personalized website with that artist’s song listed first.

23 Oct Outfits That Are Best To Wear With Scarf
Ah, the crispness of the air and the changing colors of leaves. Autumn is finally here, and it’s the perfect time to accessorize with a cozy scarf. Not only do they add a touch of warmth to any outfit, but they’re also versatile enough to be paired with a range of outfits – check out our guide to outfits that are best to wear with scarf.
Scarves are a lifesaver for people who like to wear the same few outfits over and over again since they instantly elevate any ensemble. Throwing on a brightly patterned or textured scarf can instantly perk up an otherwise boring or dismal fall or winter outfit.
The fact that scarves can be worn in a wide variety of ways is their greatest strength. Scarves are widely available in an astonishing variety; these accessories come in many various shapes, colors, patterns, and materials, making it nearly impossible to find an outfit that cannot be spruced up by a scarf of some kind.
This is a crucial part of your ensemble, therefore mastering the art of wearing it correctly is crucial. Check out our manual for more inspiring suggestions.
Scarves come in a plethora of designs, and most look great with everything in your closet. You can maximize your scarves’ many uses by familiarizing yourself with the various options available and mastering the art of matching them with your wardrobe. There should be at least one scarf in each of the most popular styles in the closet of every lady who cares about fashion and accessories.
Pashmina scarves are not usually easily identifiable as scarves; they can be made of wool, cashmere, or cotton. You can tie them over your neck, wear them as a shawl, or even wear them open over your shoulders like a cardigan. These sophisticated scarves are the ideal accessory for any business casual or professional outfit in need of little extra flair or warmth.
Thinner fashion scarves are equally as versatile, and can be worn with a wide variety of spring and summertime ensembles. Scarves can be worn in the summer, but only if they aren’t too heavy and don’t detract from the airy, carefree vibe of the rest of your ensemble. If you’re going for a soft and feminine style, use a scarf made from a very sheer fabric. Wearing a scarf with a vibrant print, like florals or stripes, is a great way to keep your outfit from looking drab. If you must wear a solid scarf, choose a pastel or a light neutral that won’t overpower your otherwise carefree ensemble.

An instructive workshop
I once attended a First Aid training at work. At one point the instructor showed us a video about a social experiment run on the streets of London. In the experiment, two actors at different times would lie on the pavement pretending to be unconscious: one of them played a homeless person, the other one a smart dressed businessman. Maybe unsurprisingly, passers-by were much more likely to help the smart dressed actor.
I’m a fan of the scientific method so I appreciated the spirit of the experiment and the data-driven approach to the analysis of discrimination. But then the instructor made a comment that struck me as deeply unfair. The video showed a woman approaching the smart dressed actor asking “Are you OK, Sir?”. The instructor sarcastically remarked: “You see? If you wear a tie you even get to be called Sir”.
I immediately thought: “How do you know she wouldn’t have said the same to the other actor?”. While the experiment clearly demonstrates that people on average discriminate, it says nothing about individuals. It may be that there are people who always discriminate and others who would help everyone, or maybe everyone discriminates sometimes: the experiment wasn’t designed to distinguish between these two scenarios (or the whole spectrum in-between).
The limitations of statistics
In fact, virtually no statistics, survey or experiment can really pinpoint a certain bias to specific individuals. All they can do (when properly analysed) is reveal population-level biases. It’s not even a limit of current studies, it’s a limitation of the current state of our statistical tools¹ and the data available.
To truly tell if a specific individual discriminates we would need to run a test tailored to that person: secretly follow them in their daily life, monitor their actions while they’re exposed to a randomised sequence of sick businessmen and homeless people, while controlling for any other confounding factors. I don’t think such an experiment has ever been run, and for obvious reasons.
The difference between racism and racists
Why am I making this point? Because the confusion between the two levels (individual and population) has deep implications for our conversations as a society. The demonstrable racism, sexism or homophobia still existing in our society doesn’t imply that we can tell whether a stranger is being racist, sexist or homophobic after a few interactions.
There are of course exceptions: some strangers make statements that are unmistakably racist, while for some individuals we have such a large collection of borderline remarks/actions that the evidence becomes overwhelming (curiously Trump would fall in both categories). But these are the exceptions rather then the rule in our day-to-day interactions with people.
Obviously abstaining from quick judgment is not easy: we’re hardwired to assign labels to people, especially when they’re from a “different tribe” than ours. We are also more likely to explain behaviours as being due to a person’s “essence”, rather than situational factors (trait ascription bias). In the end, it all comes down to the fact that we are naturally bad at thinking statistically, in terms of randomness and aggregated phenomena, and we prefer stories about individuals.
My personal takeaway from this
Bias and discrimination are still widespread, but where exactly is hard to tell. We can see aggregate numbers about groups but we can’t see the internal states and motivations of the individuals who are part of them. The more we think in terms of fixing a biased system, rather than blaming an undefined army of bias spreaders, the better.
- I guess in principle the concept of counterfactuals in causal inference can answer these questions without the need of running an experiment. But we would still require a huge amount of data about the individual under study, as well as an accurate understanding of causal relationships.
