Refreshing the brand of Messiah University
Once the Messiah University logo was established, my design team and I delved into refreshing the visual brand. This brand refresh signals to our audience that we see ourselves in a new way but are still well connected to what made Messiah University the unique higher education institution that it is. (To see examples of Messiah's brand prior to 2020, feel free to peruse the rest of my Behance portfolio.)
Where did we begin? Research. Beginning with a competitor analysis, our design team discussed what would make us stand out amidst our primary competitor institutions. Then in focus groups with current and prospective students, we learned that our prospective students resonated with our tagline – see anew – as well as our identity line – Sharpening Intellect. Deepening Christian Faith. Inspiring Action. – and our stained glass metaphor. However, they consistently didn't see the stained glass design element as stained glass. It looked like "snake or dragon scales," "tiles," or "just a pattern." The vibrancy of our student body that we talk about in our marketing materials, on tours and in personal conversations wasn't apparent in our muted color palette. So our design team set out on our mission to rethink our established brand look and feel to more clearly represent our ideals, vibrant student body and strengthen the connection of our brand statements to our visuals.
With a solid design schedule with planned meetings with senior administration, check points with the visual identity subcommittee that I chaired and the full marketing and communications team, our team created 3 distinct design directions. In the end, this was pared down and refined to the elements you see below. It truly was a collaborative process. These elements were refined by all of us at different stages of the process. This was about an 8 month process.
The presentation below encompasses these elements that we focused on:
• The stained glass element
• A vibrant color palette
• Refining the ligatures –the fused words– seen throughout our marketing projects
• Creating a consistent style for infographics
The stained glass and color palette
The stained glass that you see associated with Messiah University in our marketing symbolizes the imagery we use to describe why "see anew" is an appropriate metaphor for our unique Christian educational community.
Each student brings a rich perspective that is celebrated, appreciated and allowed to remain distinct at Messiah. In the grace of our shared love of Christ and in our worship, study and service, we meld our separate contributions into a community that resembles a strong and vibrant stained glass window.
And the insight that is born in everyone is the light that shines through. Together we see anew.
In order to more closely represent the vibrant student body, we brightened the color palette and added some specific gradients that represent the melding of ideas and community connections. Sometimes the gradients are used to more simply represent the stained glass when the more broad and specific stained glass design element is too complicated for the project.
The stained glass metaphor in use
see anew tagline
When we are asked at Messiah University about the meaning of our tagline “see anew,” we’re eager to share that: At Messiah University, your life, your faith, your world and your possibilities open up. You see anew.
The heart of “see anew” is the concept of transformation and reconciliation. Our alumni consistently tell us that their experience at Messiah was transforming—that it helped them see themselves, their faith, their career and the world in exciting new ways.
We learned from our prospective students that this resonates with them more when it is used with descriptive words. Whenever possible, we combine see anew with ways students can personally see anew at Messiah like: your world, your faith and your future. To strengthen the connection to Messiah, the personal words are often in Messiah blue or white.
You’ll often notice in Messiah’s communications the use of two different words “fused” together. We refer to these as “ligatures” and they symbolize Messiah’s ability to help students reconcile seemingly different ideals in new and interesting ways. Messiah University uses ligatures to help visually communicate its institutional values and to help students explore if Messiah’s values will be a good fit for their own.
The redesign of these brought in the gradients to visually strengthen the change from one word to the other, connect the stained glass imagery and more closely connect the tone poems that describe the meaning behind the ligatures.

Eye, 'tis another eye
. Trying to draw something everyday. Hope you like the eyes. When I have more time, will be able to spend more time on the drawings I'm doing. This is another sketch. But trying to master drawing more and more. I have so far to go oh boy.
I also cannot stop drawing eyes because I'm getting very passionate about an article I will be writing about the Bionic Eye!
Attempted to draw myself nude this morning, but the sketch is fairly poor so will try again soon!

Special Day, July 4th, 2016 ©Natalie Keshing
Good Day Readers this is Natalie Keshing here with you today on our nation’s holiday July 4, 2016. On July 4, 1776 the United States declared it’s independence from England. Today July 4, 2016, England has now declared it’s independence with Brexit from Europe.
Comparatively to England on July 4, 2016 two hundred and forty years later, we as a nation are feeling the exact same disappointment with our governing policies and our politicians in Congress, so we no longer have faith they are representing and looking out for the low to middle income household families here in the United States.
It appears only the rich are benefiting from this country’s richest companies that can pay lobbyist to influence the politicians in Congress; like the National Rifle Association. Only recently has the Supreme Court ruled that someone with a domestic violence record can never be allowed to purchase or own a hand gun or a automatic weapon.
Bernie Sanders is still running for President as a Democratic candidate. He still hasn’t given up and he is taking his voters to the Democratic convention. President Obama has endorsed Hillary Clinton is who still under investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for working on a unsecured, unprotected server exposing thousands of classified national security documents to hackers. Now we come to find out that on November 2010, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff prodded Hillary Clinton about “putting Hillary Clinton on State email”. Hillary Clinton declined and said, “I don’t want any risk of the personal being accessible.” She didn’t mention the risk of national security classified documents being accessible to hackers therefore not abiding with the laws of national security and risking the safety of the American people. It’s a sad day.
The State Department Inspector General has ruled Hillary Clinton did not comply with federal national security laws. The FBI has yet to report their findings. We have a potential felon running for President of the United States who is being investigated by the FBI. These kinds of circumstances sound practically surreal. Our founding fathers of the Constitution should have written a declaration,”That no person of the United States being investigated by the FBI or any governing department be allowed to run for the President of the United States”. I can assure you that if we let this go, this will never deter future criminals to continue to run for the President of the United States. We’re playing with fire and nowhere should a person of this kind of callous behavior and self serving cunning character be allowed to run for President of the United States, raising millions of dollars from foreign adversaries. From the time she sent an e-mail to these one thousand one hundred foreign contacts they knew immediately she was working from an unprotected server because of her carelessness and arrogance to communicate openly with them.
There must be a rule somewhere that in the future this should never be our circumstances; allowing anyone to run for President who is presently being investigated by the FBI and already decided by the State Department she did not comply with national security laws.

Both her albums were taken up by Classic FM on release, a testament to the talent and popularity of this composer!
‘Found in the Rain,’ which she recorded with world class pianist John Lenehan and herself playing clarinet on a few numbers, was made ‘Album of the month’
Cl FM wrote:
‘…this is music that’s new to us, and which we think you will enjoy. This is calm reflective and pastoral music, which we will be featuring regularly on Smooth and Relaxing Classics’.
Her second album ‘Found in the Sunlight’ (John and Helen are joined by the legendary playing of Alexander Baillie on ‘cello) was released in April 2014, and once again, Classic FM made it their ‘Featured Album of the Week.’ Helen’s music is played world wide and enjoys much success in the U.S where it has been played on WYNC radio in New York and over the past 6 years on KDFC in San Francisco.
Helen has two more CD’s ready to record and her first orchestral pieces are to be recorded later in the year which she is very excited about.Helen lives in Somerset with her family, and draws her inspiration from the sea, the moors and the countryside of South West England.

Perhaps. In any case, i'm reading this game and i'm growing more and more fond of it.
"Runebearer is a free web published fantasy rpg. Dangerous and tactical Runebearer is a call back to the rules heavy rpgs of the 80's"
From a review available on RPG.NET here:
"the game seem like a lost manuscript from 1985"
I started reading it, as i said before. I must admit that i love -nay, i adore passages like this one:

Hit points indicate how much damage a character can take before being wounded, knocked unconscious and killed. In a game where combat is a common occurrence, having a lot of hit points is a good thing. In other games, having lots of hit points cannot hurt.
Hit points are figured using the following formula:
HIT = TOU + ½ STR + ½ WIL + 8

Authorities in south central Colorado were searching Friday for a lost aircraft from North Carolina that disappeared from radar.
Lt. Col Mike McDonald of the Colorado Civil Air Patrol said he did not know where in North Carolina the plane was from.
It landed in Pueblo, Colo., on Thursday, then took off on a southern, then westerly track, he said. A distress beacon was later picked up by satellite. Authorities examined the radar track and CAP crews went airborne to try to find the aircraft.
“It went into the mountains and did not come out,” said McDonald.
Based on information from the CAP, a search team from the Huerfano County Sheriff’s Office was sent into the rugged region of the Rockies, where peaks are as high as 14,000 feet.

As previously warned by Apple, Epic’s App Store account has now been terminated due to the Fortnite developer knowingly violating App Store policy. Epic Games still had a few apps available for iOS aside from Fortnite, and they were all removed today.
Fortnite for iOS was updated earlier this month with a new option that allowed users to purchase in-game items directly through Epic’s payment system instead of using Apple’s In-App Purchases. Once Apple removed Fortnite from the App Store, Epic Games started a public campaign and a legal battle against Apple, which led the Cupertino-based company to announce that it would terminate Epic’s developer account.
That’s exactly what Apple did this Friday, August 28. As first noticed by John Voorhes from MacStories on Twitter, the App Store now shows an alert saying “this app is currently not available in your country or region” when you try to access Epic’s profile or any of their apps through a direct link, such as this one from Infinity Blade Stickers app.
It’s worth mentioning that Epic Games has an alternative Apple account to manage its Unreal Engine, which according to a judge cannot be blocked by Apple in retaliation for the Fortnite situation. The account that was blocked today was only used to offer Fortnite and some other apps from Epic, which consequently will now prevent the company from offering any updates to its game on Apple platforms.
Update: Apple has now shared an official statement about terminating Epic’s App Store account.
We are disappointed that we have had to terminate the Epic Games account on the App Store. We have worked with the team at Epic Games for many years on their launches and releases. The court recommended that Epic comply with the App Store guidelines while their case moves forward, guidelines they’ve followed for the past decade until they created this situation. Epic has refused. Instead they repeatedly submit Fortnite updates designed to violate the guidelines of the App Store. This is not fair to all other developers on the App Store and is putting customers in the middle of their fight. We hope that we can work together again in the future, but unfortunately that is not possible today.
Apple will follow a judge’s decision not to ban the Epic Games SARL account, which is used by Epic to offer Unreal Engine to other games and apps. Epic Games was given 14 days to update the Fortnite app according to the App Store Review Guidelines, but Epic purposely refused to update the game.
As expected, Epic is completely banned from the App Store, which means that the game company cannot send new apps or updates to iOS users through its developer account. If you have already downloaded Fortnite on your iPhone or iPad, you can continue playing it in its latest version approved by Apple.
All in-game purchases of items through Apple’s In-App Purchases system will no longer work due to Epic’s account ban. Users can also no longer restore Fortnite or in-game purchased items if they delete the app from their iPhones and iPads.
After Apple’s statement, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said he disagrees that the company has “spammed” the App Store review process with new Fortnite builds for iOS.
Yesterday, Epic Games sent an email to Fortnite players once again emphasizing that the iOS and Mac versions of the game are now officially blocked from receiving updates. That means Fortnite players on Apple platforms have also lost access to multi-platform game modes. Fortnite wasn’t offered through the App Store for Mac users, however the company needs its developer account to certify the game as a trusted app.
While Epic Games is now officially banned from the App Store, Apple is tactfully promoting PUBG Mobile for iOS users, which is an alternative popular battle royale game that competes directly with Fortnite.
The first hearing of the case between Apple and Epic Games is expected to take place at the end of September.

Happy Monday, fellow book lovers! Hope you all had a lovely weekend and got some good reading done! And for those of you that were literally booked and now find that Goodreads is yelling at you for being behind on your reading challenge, just know that it’s the start of a brand new week and there’s still plenty of time to catch up.
Over the weekend, I joined Litsy (come find me by searching “NerdNarration” so we can be friends), a currently phone-only app that merges Goodreads content, with Bookstagram photos, and double the amount of Twitter characters. So basically a hodgepodge of all the social media outlets I love to utilize while connecting to fellow bookworms.
Anyways, after uploading my current reads and a few mini reviews to the app, I went to my Pinterest board to find a quote to share with my new community. I came upon a pin (see below) that I happily posted years ago without a moment’s pause that now has me second guessing my initial reaction. This pin brings me to today’s chat:
What do we, as readers, look for in our heroines?
Before I dive into my thoughts, let me reveal the pin that created this whole line of thinking: So like I said, I was much younger when I originally posted this problematic pin.
When I first posted this my thoughts were along the lines of: 1) It’s Pro-Hermione 2) It’s Pro-HP, and 3) It’s a sign of my maturity that I now (really, then because this was years ago) no longer supported the love-crazed motives of Bella, a character from a series I fawned over in high school.
Now, thanks to the book community, which has caused me to reflex deeper on the material I encounter daily, I do see some of the flaws in this pin. I don’t like that they’re making light of depression, anxiety, or suicide just to take a dig or to prove a point. I don’t like that they’re comparing one woman’s pain with another and assuming it’s the same.
That being said..
Part of me still fully supports this pin. Whether it’s the #GirlBoss in me, or really opening my eyes to the underlying messages delivered via today’s media, I want to champion the ideal that:
REAL HEROINES DON’T HAVE BLANK PAGES.
And if you’ve read New Moon, you know what I’m talking about. I like the idea that a girl/woman wouldn’t completely shut down or become a bitter version of themselves (I’m looking at you Cursed Child) because the male lead in her life walked out. I think providing stories where a woman has her OWN narrative and isn’t saved/guided/controlled/insert verb of choice by a male is good for young women AND men to read to help us understand how to navigate the world we’re living in. But wherever you fall on the pin issue, it leaves me with questions:
Does dependency make a character less of a heroine?
Do our ideal heroines need to be emotionally shut-off in order to garner our praise?
Do they have to have a goal beyond a love interest/happy family to warrant our attention?
Do they need to have achieved an “unimaginable” feat or standard in order to be admired?
Do they need to defy authorities and partake in superhuman, life-threatening scenarios to earn the title?
What is it that we’re looking for?
This really left me thinking for a good chunk of my Sunday, and I hope its landed amongst you as well. I’d LOVE to hear your thoughts on what makes a good heroine. Who are some of your favorites? Why do you believe they fit the mold? I sincerely look forward to your thoughts!
And, as always, Happy Reading!

I LOVE this idea- a giant monogram with a scripture painted around it....this does not have to just be for a baby room, great for a family by entry.....would like to do this in bentleys room Scriptures Paintings, Idea, Canvas, Baby Girls, Baby Rooms, Monograms, Bible Ver, Girls Rooms, Kids Rooms

Ohh, I am going to take this idea and tweek it to become 'initial' statement piece Shariene wants for her house! C in the center, m & d's initials one side, kids initials on the other side! ssCkl - this could work!!! and I'll use a drop cloth - so much cheaper! Cannot wait!
love everything...the ornate mirror above the crib, the little dresser that looks like it's vintage and the chandelier. I would probably incorporate just a little bit of color somewhere, but the whole thing is just stunning.

Disco is back, but it’s not all good. Many people are missing the point of disco with this sudden resurrection named nudisco. However, just like Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” some people get it right. In this case. it’s Kimbra all the way from Australia.
Kimbra’s second album (and her best to date) packs the punch and one of the most iridescent tracks on The Golden Echo is “Miracle.” It’s a disco throwback with the modern edge cultivating a special blend without being dated or in-your-face. The vocals are completely up to par – not overwhelming the delicately catchy melody. If there is any pop justice in the world, this would be a colossal hit.
Charli XCX explained: “I’m so happy to announce that my new album SUCKER will be out this October which you can pre-order from HERE. If you order it now you get ‘Boom Clap’ straight away as well as my next BRAND NEW single ‘Break The Rules’ which you can listen to below. I’ve revealed a selection of the tracks on SUCKER now with more to come in the following weeks, so stay tuned for more details and songs…”

Combustion Development Specialist,
Energy Transition and Higher Efficiency Lead to Sustainability
Air Products are a global industrial gases and technology provider, focusing on efforts to improve sustainability for themselves as well as their customers, setting a target to reduce their carbon footprint by 30% by 2030. Air Products, as the largest hydrogen producer worldwide, are well positioned for decarbonisation, with proven carbon capture technologies that are already in operation on their own SMR hydrogen production facilities. Furthermore, Air Products are the first company in the world to begin building a large-scale green hydrogen production facility, namely the NEOM project, which will provide hydrogen for mobility projects and the industry transition in Europe from 2025.
A considerable portion of the CO2 emissions from industry comes from combustion processes and Air Products helps their customers achieve their sustainability targets with the latest oxyfuel technologies, which are also capable of using hydrogen or hydrogen/natural gas fuel blending. Even though natural gas is a relatively low carbon fuel, oxyfuel technology improves combustion efficiency and hence, reduces energy consumption per ton of product, thereby reducing carbon footprint. Switching from air-fuel systems to Air Products bespoke oxyfuel combustion technology can improve fuel consumption by up to 50% and it follows that carbon emissions are reduced by the same amount, as well as reducing flue gas volumes by up to 70%. The enhanced efficiency also leads to increased productivity from 25-40% or more and product yield can also be seen to increase in the range of 0.5-2%, leading to increased profit margins.
Air Products have also focused recent efforts into Industry 4.0 technology, with Air Products Process Intelligence (APPI), enabling equipment for different industrial applications with smart process control. In line with this approach, APPI Process Advisor creates a digital twin of the melting process and uses real time and historical data to provide live feedback to operators on how to control the furnace to improve operational consistency and minimise human error. The results have shown a reduction in energy usage and carbon emissions of up to 15%, shorter melting times by up to 10% and an improved yield of 0.5%.
Martin Lawrence joined the Air Products Graduate Scheme in 2013 after completing his PhD in Mechanical Engineering, studying combustion fundamentals. For the last 5 years he has worked in the combustion applications group, developing and implementing combustion technology onto customer processes in the non-ferrous metals industry.

VICTORVILLE • Attorneys delivered opening statements Tuesday in a jury trial of one of four defendants charged with 2008 murder of a 27-year-old Hesperia man.
Christopher Shane Rivera, 27, of Apple Valley is charged with murder of Adam Atencio along with burglary and robbery of Lucas Buckingham.
Rivera, Peter Michael Lewis, Troy Dante Fava and Charles Bruce Carr went to Buckingham's apartment in the 8900 block of E Avenue in Hesperia on March 7, 2008, according to Deputy District Attorney Jill Gregory.
Buckingham testified that he and his friend Atencio were partying the night before the incident. Buckingham said he was awakened by Fava when Fava got on top of his bed to beat him up. Lewis then started choking Buckingham, grabbing his neck. Then they heard a thud before Fava and Lewis headed to the living room.
Buckingham said he heard gun shots fired rapidly, and when he peeked in the living room, he saw Lewis shooting at Atencio. After the four suspects left the apartment, he rushed over to Atencio lying on the floor bleeding from his chest, Buckingham said.
"He was gasping, fighting for air," Buckingham testified, choking with emotion. "It was really loud."
Buckingham said he took off his shirt and put it over Atencio's chest before he called 911.
"Did you watch him die?" Gregory asked.
"Yes, I did," Buckingham responded from the witness stand with tears in his eyes.
Buckingham testified that Fava and Lewis had robbed and threatened him about a month before the incident. Buckingham, who was a drug dealer, said they came to his apartment a day after he asked one of his clients to pay for her drugs.
Brian Skibby, Rivera's attorney, said in the opening statement that Rivera went to the scene to ask Buckingham to pay for the damage to his car and to watch the fight.
"(Rivera) just stands there doing absolutely nothing," Skibby said.
But during the preliminary hearing in 2008, a San Bernardino County Sheriff's detective testified that Rivera told Carr, "The guy shot at me, and I had to shoot back."
Lewis had already been convicted in November and was sentenced to 33 years to life in prison. Carr pleaded guilty to accessory and will have to testify against Rivera in this trial. Fava's case is pending trial and he is scheduled to appear in court for a pre-trial hearing Friday.
Rivera's trial continues Wednesday at Victorville Superior Court.

One listen to À tout à l'heure by Bibio – aka Stephen Wilkinson – might restore your faith in British summertime. Opening with a gorgeous guitar refrain that somehow recalls lush green meadows, the song slowly unfolds to take in a handclap beat, shuffling percussion and what sounds like a backwards sitar. It's probably not surprising to learn that the song was originally conceived in Wilkinson's garden after he was tempted out of his home studio by the promise of a gorgeous sunny day. "I still had the urge to make music so I limited myself to a few bits of gear and set up in my garden: a 12-string guitar, an MPC sampler, a microphone and a cassette recorder," he explains. Mind you, they weren't the only instruments he used: he also employed the oft-ignored plastic watering can and the snip of garden shears as percussion. "When I listen to the intro of that track now, I still hear the sunshine and the garden in it because for me it's like a photograph of that moment. No doubt the sunny outdoors inspired the lyrics too." For the video – premiered here – Wilkinson wanted something to represent the song's almost nostalgic look back at sunnier times. So, drawing inspiration from the cover of Free's 1969 self-titled album, he set about transferring old 8mm film footage of blue skies and green pastures to digital and then layering various silhouettes over the top of them.
The album Silver Wilkinson is released on 13 May on Warp Records.

MP Anna Firth unveils tapestry at London Southend Airport
Southend West MP Anna Firth today unveiled a tapestry at London Southend Airport that was much loved by Sir David Amess MP.
The artwork, titled Connecting Threads and designed by artist Gwen Simpson, pays tribute to the 1,130 garment workers who lost their lives when five factory units, part of the eight-storey Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh collapsed in April 2013. Sir David Amess MP sought to find a suitable place to exhibit it. The tapestry will now be hung in the check-in hall at London Southend Airport.
Anna Firth was joined at London Southend Airport by the Mayor of Southend , Cllr Kevin Robinson and airport CEO Glyn Jones. The unveiling was accompanied by The Music Man Project, who also had close ties with Sir David Amess. The Music Man Project is an international music education service for children and adults with learning disabilities.
The Music Man Project will also be headlining the Sunday performance at the upcoming Southend City Festival, which will run 2-4 September at the hangar at London Southend Airport.
Anna Firth MP said, “It was an honour to unveil this incredible tapestry that tells the story of a terrible human tragedy, and serves as an example of the true cost of fast fashion. This tapestry was incredibly important to Sir David Amess, and I am glad that London Southend Airport has given this artwork a home. The airport is also home to the upcoming Southend City Festival. The festival will allow people from across Southend and the wider area to come together to celebrate Southend’s City status and enjoy a wide range of music performed by both international artists and local performers such as The Music Man Project, who do so much good in this area.”
Glyn Jones, CEO of London Southend Airport said, “Connecting the community around us is a major focus for London Southend Airport and so we are delighted to provide a home for the Connecting Threads tapestry. We were delighted to welcome Anna Firth MP and Cllr Kevin Robinson for the tapestry unveiling, and we really enjoyed the performance by The Music Man Project. I am also really looking forward to their performance when we host the upcoming Southend City Festival on 2-4 September. That festival will bring people together from across the area to celebrate Southend’s city status and experience music from internationally renowned artists. We are working with some incredible, experienced partners to put on that event and are delighted to be playing our part in putting our vibrant City on the festival map.”

(High Point, N.C., Aug. 17, 2019) – The Long Island Ducks defeated the High Point Rockers 4-2 on Saturday night in the middle game of a three-game series at BB&T Point.
High Point opened the scoring in the second inning when Quincy Latimore hit a solo home run left field off Ducks starter Joe Iorio. An RBI groundout to shortstop from Latimore in the fourth extended the Rockers lead to two.
Long Island rallied to tie the game in the top of the sixth off Rockers starter Dominic DeMasi. An RBI single to left field by L.J. Mazzilli and a run-scoring fielder’s choice off the bat of Lew Ford evened the score at two.
It stayed that way until the top of the ninth inning. Vladimir Frias reached on an RBI fielder’s choice, scoring John Apostolo. Daniel Fields then scored on the same play due to a throwing error, giving the Ducks a 4-2 lead they would never relinquish.
Neither starter factored into the decision. Iorio lasted five and one-third innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out five. DeMasi pitched eight innings of two-run ball, yielding seven hits with five strikeouts. Pedro Beato (3-2) picked up the win with a scoreless eighth inning despite giving up a hit and a walk. Paul Clemens (1-2) took the loss, conceding two runs (one earned) on two hits in two-thirds of an inning. Michael Tonkin recorded his seventh save with a scoreless ninth, striking out one.
Ford and Clint Freeman each had two hits to lead the Flock offensively.

The ISO 21434 is a process-oriented standard of the automotive industry that helps define a structured process to ensure cybersecurity along the lifecycle, although it does not prescribe specific cybersecurity technology, solutions or remediation methods.
With the backing of the White House, ISO 21434 was officially released in August 2021. Also known as “Road vehicles — cybersecurity engineering” the ISO 21434 standard is the type of legislature the Biden Administration wanted more of in order to combat current and foreseeable cyber-attacks.
ISO 21434 focuses on the cybersecurity risk in road vehicle electronic systems. This standard requires automotive manufacturers and suppliers to demonstrate due diligence in the implementation of cybersecurity engineering and that cybersecurity management is applied throughout the supply chain to support it.
ISO 21434 is intended that organizations will encourage a cybersecurity culture so that everything is designed with security considerations from the start.
ISO/SAE 21434 has specific requirements for software development including analysis to check for inherent weaknesses and the overall consistency, correctness, and completeness with respect to cybersecurity requirements.
ISO 21434 is important because with the increase in connectivity in vehicles and the development of autonomous cars, the risks of cyberattack and subsequent damage also increase. Most authorities in cybersecurity believe past safety-critical standards were not sufficient to cover this type of risk and therefore new guidelines and standards need to be established.
Manufacturers, developers, suppliers and organizations need to consider several points in a security risk assessment, such as:
- Identification of assets and potential damage resulting from a breach of security features
- Identification and analysis of possible threats, attacks and vulnerabilities
- Determination of risk levels based on damage scenarios and the probability of successful attacks
- Take countermeasures until the remaining risk is acceptable
- Documentation of the important steps and results of the risk assessment process, such as asset lists, damage scenarios, attack reports or risk reports
The new ISO/SAE 21434 safeguards the entire development process and lifecycle of a road vehicle and promotes “security by design.”
Want to learn more? Tonex offers ISO 21434 Certification, a 5-day course that provides guidance developed by Tonex to help the automotive industry in the process of implementing cybersecurity in their vehicles, systems, subsystems and parts.
ISO 21434 Certification training provides the technical details and best practices of cybersecurity engineering based on ISO/SAE 21434 such as how to identify security objectives and how do we assess the security procedures and methods like TARA (Threat and Risk Analysis). Learn about what typical threats are by applying cybersecurity to life-cycle, products, process, and security engineering procedures.

Each mahalla in Tashkent will receive 10 billion soums - Shavkat Mirziyoyev
Half of the funds will go towards employment.
“When I met with the residents of the capital this year, they raised many issues related to the development of makhallas.
We will systematically continue this experiment and increase the allocated funds. For this, a separate fund for the development of 575 mahallas will be created under the khokimiyat, 10 billion soums will be allocated for each mahalla. This is about $ 600 million for the city.
At the same time, 5 billion soums of these funds will be spent on social and communal projects, based on the proposals of the population, using an open and transparent system "Citizens Budget". Another 5 billion soums will go to provide employment in makhallas and support small and family businesses. The new khokim assistants will be responsible for the efficient use of these funds.
In general, a research center will be opened under the Tashkent khokimiyat, which will systematically deal with the issues of the capital's economy and urbanization. The center will conduct regular polls among the population and develop scientific solutions to existing problems, ”said incumbent President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.

Going shopping? Don’t forget your bags.
Shoppers in Everett are no longer getting single-use plastic bags to haul home their groceries; instead they’ll have the option of using their own reusable bags or pay a five-cent fee for a paper bag or a thicker plastic bag. The bag ban began Monday.
The Everett City Council passed the new ordinance in December, to encourage people to bring their own bags to stores for purchases and reduce the amount of plastic that befouls our waters, billows in trees and lingers in landfills.
Everett joins a list of about 20 other cities and jurisdictions in the state that have passed similar bans on the single-use bags that have been commonplace in grocery and other retail stores for about 30 to 40 years. Edmonds was the first city in the county to pass a similar bag ban, and has been joined by Everett, Mukilteo, Shoreline and Quil-Ceda Village in Tulalip. The state Legislature also considered a statewide ban this year, with the bill passing in the Senate, before it ran up against the session’s deadline in the House.
As handy as the bags are for carrying things — with some then lining kitchen trash bins and picking up after pets — the bags are among the most visibile targets for efforts to reduce plastic pollution. And with good reason.
A 2014 report by Scientific American found that the full range of plastic pollution — because it isn’t biodegradable but breaks down into tiny microplastics that contain and absorb toxic chemicals — are ingested by birds and marine life. A European Commission study cited by the magazine, found that 90 percent of North Sea birds had plastics in their stomachs. Another report blamed the ingestion of plastics for tens of thousands of deaths of birds and marine wildlife worldwide.
The bags aren’t the only source of plastic pollution, however, and even as legislation banning bags have grown more common — about 250 municipalities have adopted bag bans as have the states of California and New York — there remain concerns about the environmental costs of what is used in place of the single-use bags.
A look at those costs should help consumers consider what they’ll use to carry their groceries home.
The paper bags, which were the standard long before plastic bags were commonplace, are biodegradable and don’t pose the same threat to wildlife as plastic bags, but they do have a significant downside: While some recycled paper is used for pulp in making paper, it remains a process that involves heavy use of water and toxic chemicals and produces its share of greenhouse gas emissions in production and shipping.
Even the reuseable tote bags aren’t as green as they might seem, especially cotton canvas bags.
A story from earlier this spring on National Public Radio’s “Planet Money” podcast, found recent studies critical of the cotton totes. (No, the irony wasn’t lost on public radio for coming down on the cotton tote bags so popular as donation swag during fund drives.)
Noting cotton production’s contribution to greenhouse gases and heavy water use, the report pointed to studies that estimated that a cotton tote would have to be used 131 times before it made up for the impact to climate change from a single-use plastic bag. The Washington Policy Center made a similar point in 2016, citing the UK Environment Agency that estimated cotton canvas bags would have to be used 173 times to equal the impact from a single-use bag.
Surprisingly, reusable plastic bags may be the better option, and are typically right there at the checkout stand, next to the candy, lip balm and copies of People magazine.
Polyester bags need to be used 42 times to equal a single-use plastic bag. Woven polypropylene bags need to be used only 11 to 13 times to justify the switch from a single-use plastic bag.
And multiple re-use is the whole idea behind the bags.
Some will question the need for a ban on the plastic bags, especially if the state Legislature again considers a bill next year. A full look at the bag bans in Everett and elsewhere in the state and how they are changing shopping habits and how well they are reducing plastic pollution should follow.
Such a review should keep in mind that any alternative will have its own impacts to consider. But what the bag bans will do — along with reducing a significant amount of plastic waste and pollution — will serve as a daily reminder to consider how we can reduce the amount of plastic and other packaging we too easily rely on.

Ubisoft is resurrecting beloved ‘Spies vs Mercs’ multiplayer in Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Ubisoft announced yesterday that it is reviving Splinter Cell's long-lost multiplayer mode, Spies vs Mercenaries, in the series' next game, Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
The trailer that accompanied the announcement is light on details – as these sorts of things usually are – and is basically a long-winded way of saying “Spies vs Mercs is back and it's going to be cool,” but frankly I don't need more than that to get excited about the revival of one of the most unique takes on objective-based multiplayer of the past decade.
Though it doesn't offer much in the way of concrete detail, the trailer does show off a few new gadgets that players will be able to use like self-destructing drones and invisibility cloaks. The big new addition is that this incarnation seems to be playable with up to eight players whereas past games were 2v2 or 3v3. The trailer never explicitly says as much, but several scenes feature four characters on either team.
It was nearly a decade ago when Ubisoft introduced Spies vs Mercs to a gaming world that was achingly tired of deathmatch with the release of Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. But after Splinter Cell: Double Agent released in 2006, Spies vs Mercs vanished from the series without much explanation.
Blacklist releases on August 20, 2013.

Why are teenagers growing up so slowly? It’s not that hard to figure out. Just compare the responsibilities of your great grampa to kids today.
100 years ago: Help dad with the farm…. or Mom, sister and the rest of you won’t have any food.
Today: “Mom… I want the new iPhone! All my friends have it!”
For years I’ve been reading about the increasing length of Adolescence and theories as to why. Last week, Newsweek highlighted a new book by Dr. Joe Allen titled, Escaping the Endless Adolescence (more on that in a minute). I loved the article, especially the timing of it- the same week as our most recent podcast, Episode #30, a conversation between Walt Mueller and I about today’s youth culture. In this podcast, Walt describes the crucial time of parenting adolescents as “the space between” (The title of his book on the subject).
Here’s his logic:
We all know that when our kids are young- we think for them.
We all know that someday- our kids will have to think for themselves.
How do we get them from “us thinking for them” to “thinking for themselves?”
Hence, the space between, when we think with them. (Simple, but profound, huh?)
In this podcast (free on iTunes), Walt and I have a great time talking about what this actually looks like day to day for parents who are raising teenagers. Fun stuff.
Back to the Newsweek article. It basically argues that teenagers are growing up slower because our society is not giving them opportunities to think and act for themselves… so we think for them, protecting them from “real life.”
Here’s just a snippet:
Allen has concluded that our urge to protect teenagers from real life – because we don’t think they’re ready yet – has tragically backfired. By insulating them from adult-like work, adult social relationships, and adult consequences, we have only delayed their development. We have made it harder for them to grow up. Maybe even made it impossible to grow up on time.
Basically, we long ago decided that teens ought to be in school, not in the labor force. Education was their future. But the structure of schools is endlessly repetitive. “From a Martian’s perspective, high schools look virtually the same as sixth grade,” said Allen. “There’s no recognition, in the structure of school, that these are very different people with different capabilities.” Strapped to desks for 13+ years, school becomes both incredibly monotonous, artificial, and cookie-cutter.
As Allen writes, “We place kids in schools together with hundreds, sometimes thousands, of other kids typically from similar economic and cultural backgrounds. We group them all within a year or so of one another in age. We equip them with similar gadgets, expose them to the same TV shows, lessons, and sports. We ask them all to take almost the exact same courses and do the exact same work and be graded relative to one another. We give them only a handful of ways in which they can meaningfully demonstrate their competencies. And then we’re surprised they have some difficulty establishing a sense of their own individuality.”
And we wonder why it’s taking so long for them to mature…

This recipe was inspired by IronWill Kids. Their mission is to empower kids to use their voice in the fight against childhood obesity and to ignite a chain reaction of healthy living! I hope to spread their message by creating this recipe – a kid-friendly recipe that kids can make and enjoy.
Ironwill Kids runs in school and in after school programs to educate children about healthier eating habits. This recipe would be a perfect after school snack or a fun topping to add to my Hulk Green Smoothie. The recipe that IronWill Kids uses for their “Morning Crunch” contains corn flakes and honey which can easily be swapped for some different ingredients. So I took the recipe they gave me and tweaked it a bit to my liking.
IronWill Kids Morning Crunch:
- 4 cups of Corn Flakes– When buying corn flakes make sure they are non-gmo and organic!
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 1 cup sunflower seed butter
- 1/2 cup honey— I prefer to use whole dried or fresh fruits
- 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions: Mix corn flakes, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds in a bowl. Then add sunflower seed butter, honey, cinnamon and salt. Mix well to combine.
Here is my version of the recipe. I added dried fruit for its natural sweetness and served it with unsweetened coconut yogurt. I swapped out corn flakes for puffed kamut cereal but any unsweetened puffed grain can work here.
- 3 cups puffed kamut cereal
- 1/4 sunflower seeds
- 1/4 sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup goji berries or any dried fruit
- 1/2 cup nut butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- In a large mixing bowl combine puffed kamut, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and goji berries.
- In a separate small bowl combine nut butter, coconut oil and vanilla extract.
- Combine your cereal mixture and nut butter mixture till evenly coated.
- Serve with coconut yogurt, top a smoothie, with apple sauce or as is!

America's love affair with Senator Barack Obama began at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Standing before the American public, Obama delivered a message that resonated with hope and electrified the nation's imagination. He stressed the country's shared fundamental values and celebrated its racial and cultural diversity. There was something special about the fiery young lawyer that suggested a promising political future and a renaissance for the faltering Democratic Party.
Three years later, Obama has once again come into national prominence. Americans decisively checked and unbalanced a recalcitrant White House with their mid-term election votes this past November. Republicans relinquished congressional majorities in both the Senate and the House and the road to the White House seemed wide open for a Democratic President. Former First Lady Hillary Clinton was touted as the Democratic Party's most viable candidate, with her unmatched knack for fund raising and the surname of America's most popular president, but then came Obama.
All summer long there were buzzings that Obama might be contemplating a run. Then in the fall he cleverly stirred the fires by releasing his aptly entitled book, "The Audacity of Hope." All at once he placed his political platform before the American public and tested the feasibility of a Presidential run without an actual commitment. Little over a week ago, he quietly announced, on his website, the formation of a presidential exploratory committee.
Next month, Obama is expected to officially announce his bid for the presidency in Springfield, Illinois on February 10th. A place and date of incredible significance: the birthplace of President Abraham Lincoln and the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. 144 years ago America emancipated its slaves. Has it progressed far enough in its racial politics to elect its first African American president? Furthermore, does Obama have enough steam to stop the Clinton juggernaut?
Obama's straight-talking authenticity is a refreshing alternative to Clinton's well polished political veneer. Although he is a political neophyte, with a barely established voting record, Americans may be willing to take a chance. In fact his lack of a voting record has been seen as a strength since he has not been in office long enough to alienate moderates or liberals.
His lack of experience and exposure could however prove to be a double edged sword, especially when it comes to international affairs. His membership on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is an attempt to address that lack, but in all likelihood it may not be enough. With Osama bin Laden no closer to capture; a never-ending war in Afghanistan; mounting deaths in Iraq; and mounting national debt, Americans are finally fed up.
In less turbulent times Obama's lack of experience would not be a big factor, but as Americans become more insistent for an end to their involvement in international conflicts, it may count as a major blow.
It's also been said that Senator Clinton is an international affairs novice, but she's got hubby Bill at her side. Unlike Hillary, Obama can rest on his consistent stance against American involvement in Iraq. Where Clinton has failed to articulate a clear strategy for withdrawal, Obama has. It remains to be seen whether that stance will be enough.
Obama is risking a lot in this run for the Oval office. His future political capital and longevity are at stake. A more measured, and oblique, approach would involve a stint as Vice President. A Clinton/Obama ticket would be a force to be reckoned with. Obama would balance Clinton's cold persona with a warmth and integrity that America so craves. Serving as V P would allow him the chance to establish himself as a politician in his own right, build much needed experience in the areas of international affairs, and possibly extend the Democrats' stay in the presidential office from eight to sixteen years. Strategically this option just makes more sense, but only time will tell if pragmatism will prevail over passion.

Q: please tell me where I can find installation innstructions or video for the 32966 Answer this question
A: Hi Tom There is no video that i am aware of unless somebody made on on u tube. the installation is very straight forward you just need to be careful how you route the cables that they are away from heat and suspension components. you use a switch to activate the solenoid to turn on the system when it needs to be used. This is done to prevent tampering and in case of accident the cables are not charged. Thank You

Hello my new found Buddy, I have seen you around but never made contact. Looking over your info has gotten my curiosity up. Guns hmmm and firearm instructor. I have been in the military for 15 years and have been to Front Sight firearms institute, lifetime member. What do you teach and I would love to know what firearms you own? I would like to compare with you.


Sir: David Lister's case (Section Two; "As not seen on TV", 6 December) for the making of television recordings of some of the best theatre productions in the British theatre is well argued. It should now be perfectly possible to negotiate rights for domestic and international sales, both with Equity and the technicians' unions. The multi-channel future is nearly upon us and there will be a need for good, quality programming.
More difficult to overcome is the belief that good televised drama can only come from the studio. There was a period in the Fifties when BBC Television transmitted live relays from shows running in the West End theatres, but because managements were nervous about the effect on their audiences, it was only allowed to take part of the productions.
To those of us involved in directing these outside broadcasts, it sometimes seemed that only the shows that were not doing too well would agree to a relay. The technology of the time also did not help: cameras were bulky, a lot of extra lighting was required, and good audio coverage of actors moving about the stage was very hard to achieve.
Today, all that has changed: cameras are smaller, lighter, and more sensitive, which means less additional lighting needs to be installed. Radio microphones ensure perfect speech from any part of the stage. Digital video recording guarantees the quality of reproduction.
It really ought to be possible to ensure that memorable productions can be enjoyed, long after they have closed, by audiences in Britain and abroad.

New biomarker for Alzheimer's discovered
Researchers have identified a new biomarker which could help to detect which individuals with mild memory problems will get Alzheimer's disease, assisting older people in making their long term care plans.
According to the study, published online in journal Neurology, the biomarker may be more accurate than those already discovered.
Scientists took a sample of cerebrospinal fluid from participants with mild cognitive impairment, investigating the Alzheimer's-related proteins in the substance, and followed them for an average of almost three years.
It was revealed that those who developed Alzheimer's disease had higher levels of a protein called soluble amyloid precursor protein beta in the spinal fluid.
The best predictor was found to be a combination of this protein, established marker of brain cell damage tau protein and the age of the individual. This resulted in an 80 per cent accurate test.
Meanwhile, June Andrews of the Dementia Services Development Centre at the University of Stirling has said that dementia diagnosis in the UK needs to be improved to help those suffering from the condition to access the treatment they need.

A fast and sensitive method was developed for the assessment of CYP induction in human hepatocytes cultured in 96-well plates. The effects on CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 were examined by means of mass spectrometry and the well-known cocktail strategy. The performance of the method was tested by using prototypic inducers such as methylcolanthrene, phenobarbital and rifampicin. The method was shown to be robust and predictable for the in vitro induction potential studies of drugs.

The Falcons have been relatively healthy since the season began. The only significant injury came in the offseason when Avery Williams suffered a non-contact season-ending injury.
Cordarrelle Patterson and Jeff Okudah have yet to make their 2023 debuts, but they seem to be trending toward playing against the Lions on Sunday. Though they’ve both been practicing, Arthur Smith updated their injury status, telling the media the pair are questionable for Week 3.
It was a similar story last week against the Packers. They were practicing throughout the week, even earning the full participation designation, but the overall health is more important to the team than one game. It’s a long season, so it makes sense to play it safe with a 32-year-old and another who has dealt with injuries for much of his career.
Cordarrelle Patterson did tell reporters that he is “very confident” he will play Sunday. However, he did add that he expected to play last week, too. But as I said earlier, he’s an aging player who has been banged up for two years in a row. “I’m in Year 11, my body doesn’t heal like it did 11 years ago. Just trying to be smart. It’s a long season.”
Fortunately, it seems Troy Andersen will return, but it’s not like the team missed him terribly. Admittedly, when I saw he wasn’t going to play last, I got worried. However, Nate Landman proved me wrong. The undrafted free agent didn’t just handle himself, but he actually provided a ton of positive plays, mostly in the run game. Landman will certainly have his number called more often with his play against the Packers.
On a different note, the Lions are dealing with a laundry list of injuries. Dam Campbell officially ruled out Halapoulivaati Vaitai and Emmanuel Moseley, while the jury is still out on David Montgomery, Taylor Decker, and Kerby Joseph. Amon-Ra St. Brown is also banged, so the Falcons will once again have the health advantage.
