Before Storm Herd flew across the Dark Water, before Nightwing was (spoiler for Windborn) defeated, before there were any such thing as Windborn spoilers, before Landfall was published, before our president was elected our president, Willowblossom was created. Before I had imagined Maplespeck, Honeydawn, Blackwing, Applefly, Jorn, Aloni Thornchaser, Hazelwood or even Autumngold, I had envisioned Willowblossom. Before (running out of epic “before”s here).... before I had even joined this MB, Willowblossom had been drawn.
Before I knew what a “roan” even was, Willowblossom was here!
Basically, what I’m saying, is that Willowblossom is my first ever OC! Like it says in the title.....
Meet Willowblossom from Jungle Herd! She is a spunky and adventurous yearling who loves mysteries, hanging out with her friends, and learning new things. Her family joined Star, after he formed River Herd, and have been devoted followers ever since.


The sixth annual CTU Mood of the Workforce survey shows working people are very worried about their incomes and rights under the new Government and fear the country becoming more economically and racially divided.
Figures from the survey, which gathered 2000 responses in less than a week, show that more than two-thirds of working people feel that new Government’s policies will make it harder to meet cost of living pressures. More than three quarters of respondents believe that the new Government’s policies will make it harder to secure a fair pay rise.
Many respondents voiced concerns that the current government does not represent their interests with some respondents raising fears that economic and racial division will increase as a consequence.
CTU President Richard Wagstaff says the results show working people are feeling insecure at work. “The feedback from this year’s survey is that many people are worried about the future of their jobs and well-being of their families.
“It’s clear the rushed and backwards looking repeal of employment legislation passed without consultation has signalled to working people that the Government does not care about their interests or the interests of most New Zealanders.
“These concerns are held across all age and gender cohorts in the results and are consistent across union members and non-union members.
“Both the survey responses and the comments indicate that many people feel they have fallen behind in the past year and that they expect this to get worse.
“Reading through the hundreds of comments it’s clear that people want real change in New Zealand’s political and economic direction toward increased fairness and investment in people and their futures. That’s something all parties, in government and opposition, need to listen to.”
The results of the survey are available here


The Chunwang container dehumidifier series provides a complete moisture resistant solution.
Silica gel desiccant for shipping containers is mainly used in shipping containers to absorb water vapor during sea shipping or storage and prevent moisture, moldy, rust and oxidized goods. Due to the high humidity of the ocean and the large temperature difference between day and night, the water vapor in the container condenses into water droplets and causes the container to rain.
It is compact and flexible and can be placed in the narrow space between the top of the load and the top of the container. The packing material is made of SMS non-woven fabric, which is hard and not easy to break.

Yesterday, I held a lecture on “Future Genesis: Theories of social change and transforation towards sustainability” at Technical University Berlin. This was part of the 35 year aniversary of the Institute of Futures Studies and Technology Assessment.
In the current issue (8-9/2016) of WISU Das Wirtschaftsstudium, an article by Christoph Rasche and me on “Social Enterprises” was published.
For my lecture “Introduction to Leadership, Organization and HR Management”, I received the grade 1.17. Thank you for this excellent rating!
About 600 students attended this lecture. One year ago, there were “only” 521 students. Let’s see, what the next year will look like.
Yesterday I gave a guest lecture on “Future Genesis: Can theories of change from social sciences explain the future?” at the IZT Institute of Futures Studies and Technology Assessment, Berlin.

Study confirms SOME pork is as lean as chicken
-fat protein choice, according to new research released last week. For example, a serving of pork tenderloin had fewer calories than skinless chicken breast, and six popular cuts of pork are 16% lower in total fat, and 27% lower in saturated fat than they were 15 years ago, according to the research unveiled by the National Pork Board and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The study, funded by the pork checkoff program, was a collaborative effort that involved scientists from the USDA, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Maryland. The results offer big marketing opportunities for retailers, noted Karen Boillot, the NPB's director of retail marketing. The board is developing point-of-sale and educational materials for retailers, she said. Officials released the research findings at the annual meeting of the Institute of Food Technologists here.

New Delhi :Mobile firm company Adcom has indicated that it may sue the Freedom 251 maker Ringing Bells. When asked about the partner, a company spokesperson named one Noida-based Eminence Technologies.
Adcom recently claimed that it sold the phones to Ringing Bells for Rs. 3,600 and warned of legal action against Noida-based Ringing Bells in case the latter’s activities adversely impact its brand name or cause any other kind of losses.
Ringing Bells last month had unveiled the Freedom 251 phone which is being touted as the world’s cheapest smartphone.
The company showcased some sample devices, which resembled Adcom’s smartphone Ikon 4, which is already available in the market at Rs 3,999.

A few days ago, the Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries (ANRPC) released the latest expected data: It is estimated that global natural rubber production in 2020 will fall 4.9% year-on-year to 13.149 million tons, and global consumption will fall 8.9% year-on-year to 12.544 million tons. It is understood that in the first seven months of 2020, global natural rubber production fell by 8.9% year-on-year, and global natural rubber consumption fell by 14% year-on-year. From January to June 2020, global consumption of natural rubber fell by 15.7%. China, which accounts for 40% of global demand, saw its consumption drop by 20.1%.
In June 2020, the association predicts that global natural rubber production will fall by 4.7% this year to 13.13 million tons; among them, Indonesia's output is expected to drop by 12.6% to 2.89 million tons, Thailand is expected to drop by 0.9% to 4.81 million tons, and Vietnam is expected to drop by 4 % To 1.14 million tons, Malaysia is expected to drop by 14% to 550,000 tons. Global natural rubber consumption is expected to drop by 6% this year to 12.904 million tons; among them, China's consumption is expected to drop by 5.6% to 5.24 million tons, and India is expected to drop by 21.3% to 900,000 tons.
In the third quarter of 2020, global consumption will increase by 1.4% year-on-year, entering a positive value. The natural rubber market was full of vitality in August, and both the physical and futures market prices rose sharply that month. Bangkok’s RSS3 market surged 24.1% this month. In contrast, Bangkok’s STR20 rose 14.3%, Kuala Lumpur’s SMR20 rose 7.9%, Kuala Lumpur’s NR latex rose 4.0%, and India’s Kottayam RSS4 rose That’s 3.7%.
At present, the consumption of natural rubber is continuously recovering. Ms. Ratchada, Deputy Spokesperson of the Prime Minister's Office of Thailand, said that in the past week, the price of Thailand's third-grade tobacco sheet rubber (RSS3) exceeded 60 baht/kg, a record high in the past three years. The price is high. And due to the demand of the international market, especially the increase in the number of orders placed in China after the economy began to recover, the price of smoked sheet glue will continue to rise. The new crown epidemic situation had an impact on the overall demand for rubber use at the beginning of the year, but Thailand’s rubber glove exports ranked second in the world, achieving a growth rate of 8-15%.

STAGE BEAUTY Cross the artistic integrity of Shakespeare In Love with the bawdy behavior of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and you might come up with Stage Beauty, a movie that recognizes the poetry in both Shakespeare and Benny Hill. Set during the reign of King Charles II (Rupert Everett) in 17th century England, the movie continues the recent trend of mixing and matching fact and fiction, with Billy Crudup cast as Ned Kynaston, the most celebrated actor during a period in which women were forbidden from performing on the stage. Making his mark solely in female parts -- his latest triumph is portraying Desdemona in Othello -- Ned finds his livelihood cut out from under him when the King issues a decree stating that, effective immediately, women are now allowed to act and men can only play male roles. So while Ned wallows in self-pity and sexual confusion (he only knows how to "act" feminine), his dresser (Claire Danes), who's long had her eye on the stage, suddenly finds herself regarded as the community's top new talent. Director Richard Eyre and scripter Jeffrey Hatcher (adapting his own play, Compleat Female Stage Beauty) fare best when they tackle the issue of gender identification while also debating its theatrical implications ("Where's the trick in that?" bellows Ned when learning that women will play women, hinting that the art comes from the mimicry rather than the shared experience between actor and role); they have less success in curtailing the piece's anachronistic tendencies. 1/2
AROUND THE BEND Product placements are nothing new, but what compelled Kentucky Fried Chicken to partner with writer-director Jordan Roberts on his low-budget debut? This family drama is sooo dull and dreary that the company might want to brace itself for plummeting stocks. Michael Caine plays an old codger who drops dead 20 minutes into the film; his will stipulates that his survivors -- son (Christopher Walken), grandson (Josh Charles) and great-grandson (Jonah Bobo) -- will bond over KFC lunches and the spreading of his ashes over the landscape. Well-intentioned but not even remotely involving, this leaves plenty of time for either dozing or daydreaming. My moment of inspiration during my frequent mental drifts: Given the plotline, how about a KFC promotion in which their chicken is sold in a bucket that's shaped like an urn? 1/2
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS A true-life yarn that was dubbed by Sports Illustrated as "one of the greatest sports stories of all time" has now been turned into one of the dullest sports films of recent years. Peter Berg has adapted his cousin H.G. Bissinger's acclaimed novel but in the process stripped it of any complexity, leaving only a generic pigskin tale. Set in 1988, the story unfolds in the small Texas town of Odessa, where practically every resident is glued to the fortunes of the local high school team. An underlying theme is that this cracker town's obsession with football is an unhealthy one, yet Berg skirts around this important issue simply so he can spend more time on motivational speeches and gridiron heroics -- in other words, the same-old same-old.
THE GRUDGE Japanese director Takashi Shimizu helms the American remake of his wildly popular scarefest Ju-On: The Grudge, but even his participation isn't enough to elevate this terror tale in any discernible manner. Sarah Michelle Gellar stars as an exchange student whose volunteer work takes her to a house that's subject to a terrible curse, a manifestation of evil that spells doom for anybody who enters. Ju-On's success rested in its powerful atmosphere, the sense of dread that Shimizu instilled in virtually every frame. Yet that aura only presents itself sporadically in the Yankee Grudge, most notably when the director meticulously recreates the original film's shock moments. The rest of the time, we're stuck with sterile expository scenes, a repetitious framework and the spectacle of Gellar trying to emote.
I ♥ HUCKABEES Or, Being Charlie Kaufman, as writer-director David O. Russell tries to expand the parameters of mainstream cinema as much as the scripter of Being John Malkovich and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Yet while Russell's movie doesn't quite capture the freewheeling dementia of Kaufman's output, it's still a noteworthy effort, with enough engaging hi-jinks -- not to mention a high-wattage cast -- to distract us from the frequent fuzziness of its psychobabble involving a young man's (Jason Schwartzman) search for the meaning of life. The passion with which the characters rail against their unbearable lightness of being is inspiring, and the uniformly fine cast (Dustin Hoffman, Naomi Watts, Jude Law, among others) provides shadings that otherwise might not have been there.


Police arrested a 25-year-old mama’s boy in Takeo’s Traing district on old assault charges on Monday.
Police said the suspect had an outstanding warrant from 2009 for badly beating another man who insulted him at a party, but had returned to his hometown after years on the run to visit his mummy.
Leaving his mother’s residence to return to life on the lam, the man spotted some approaching policemen and fled into the jungle to elude capture, only to be apprehended hours later.
The suspect reportedly told police if he had thought they’d still remember his face, he never would have returned. KOH SANTEPHEAP

My dress was of silk, and the rustling of it, as I ascended the stairs to go to bed, seemed to my panic-struck fancy like the movement of a spectre pursuing me. At last I reached my chamber, where I found my husband fast asleep.

UK confirms rabies case following dog bite
The Health Protection Agency (HPA) in the UK has confirmed that a patient is undergoing treatment for rabies in a London hospital.
It is thought the patient, reported to be a female in her 50s, contracted the disease after being bitten by a dog in South Asia.
She is currently being treated at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases, which is based at the University College Hospital.
It is the first case of rabies in the UK since 2008 and only the fourth since the year 2000, all of which were caused from bites from foreign dogs.

- A third of malaria drugs are fake, research finds
Despite the case, health authorities in England are adamant that there is no risk to the public.
A spokesperson for the Hospital for Tropical Diseases said: “We would like to reassure our patients, visitors and staff there is no risk to them as a result of this case.”
Meanwhile the Director of the HPA for London, Dr Brian McCloskey, added: “It is important to stress that there is no risk to the general public as a result of this case or to patients and visitors at the hospital where the patient is receiving treatment.
“Despite there being tens of thousands of rabies cases each year worldwide, there have been no documented laboratory confirmed cases of human-to-human spread.
“Therefore the risk to other humans or animals from a patient with rabies is considered negligible.”
However, a handful of people – thought to be around 20 – have been offered a vaccination after coming into contact with the patient.
Dr Brian McCloskey explained: “To take every possible precaution, family members and healthcare staff who had close contact with the patient since they became unwell - which is when they are infectious - have been assessed and offered vaccination if appropriate.”
Rabies is most commonly carried in dogs, particularly those in the South and South East regions of Asia.
Nevertheless, in 2003, after a bat handler died from a rabies-like illness, it was suggested that nocturnal animals carry a similar disease.
Across the world, approximately 55,000 people die every year after contracting rabies.

BOISE — The Idaho Secretary of State’s Office is working with a Boise-based cybersecurity company to track election security-related issues during the state’s unprecedented absentee ballot election.
According to a press release, PlexTrac will allow the secretary of state election cybersecurity team to collaborate with every county in the state about any election security issues that come up.
Tuesday, the day of the primary election, was the last day for voters to request a ballot. Completed ballots are due June 2, when results will be released.
Foster Cronyn, deputy secretary of state, said the office has implemented several tools over previous election years that monitor and report on election security.
“PlexTrac consolidates this very complex information into an organized, actionable report for our cyber security analysts,” Cronyn said. “In previous elections, we have had to manually review these reports and look for patterns. Although this election is absentee ballot only, these are still requested, tallied and reported on using large online computing systems. PlexTrac aggregates security reports from these systems.”
Dan DeCloss, PlexTrac CEO, said the system will also help each county report its security progress and any issues to the secretary of state as the election moves forward.
”PlexTrac is a centralized platform to aggregate data and to facilitate communication between the Secretary of State’s office and the county security team so they can report security compliance,” DeCloss said.Regarding specific security concerns for an absentee ballot election, Cronyn said he avoids discussion on specific security threats, but said the Idaho Secretary of State’s Office is “in close communication with the secretary of state offices around the country, as well as federal offices such as the FBI and Homeland Security for advice, guidance and regulations around (Tuesday’s) election.”
“Secretary Denney’s office is, to the best of my knowledge, in compliance with what we’ve been warned to watch for,” Cronyn said. “Additionally, it is important to note that we’ve been processing absentee ballots in the state for years, so while the volume is much higher today, the process remains mature and basically the same.”
To ensure absentee ballots are filled out by the proper voter, Cronyn said the county clerks’ offices are going through a process to validate ballot signatures from the absentee ballot envelope against the signature contained in the voter registration database. He said the county election workers are doing this process manually, though he said in the future, there will be a new system that helps match the signatures with less manual involvement.

Mark Mulcahy. Second to Paul Westerberg, the New England native wrote some of the best and most ignored music throughout the ’80s and ’90s, all with indie darlings Miracle Legion and the ever popular Polaris. While he’s considered an influence on the likes of Thom Yorke, his name goes unnoticed in even the tightest of the elite music circles. That could change soon.
Come September 29th, some of our favorite musicians today are honoring the disheveled musician of yesterday, and they’re doing it the best way they can: a covers compendium. Titled Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy, the compilation not only serves as a tribute, but as a benefit for the songwriter. Last year, Mulcahy’s wife passed away, leaving him with two three-year twins, and needless to say, if he’s going to continue writing music, he could use some help.
Those willing to lend a helping hand are The National, Dinosaur Jr., Mercury Rev, Michael Stipe, and rather fittingly, Thom Yorke. Oh, there’s plenty of other names, too. Judging from the tracklist (featured after the jump), the covers dig as far back as his Miracle Legion days and as current as his last full length, solo effort, In Pursuit of Your Happiness. What a nice bunch of guys, huh?
For those still scratching your heads, you might remember a little tune called “Hey Sandy” (via Nickelodeon’s The Adventures of Pete and Pete). Polaris was the show’s house band, who would eventually go on to write some of the best music ever written, which makes the National’s cover of “Ashamed of the Story I Told” that much more interesting. The music was so popular and hard-hitting, in fact, that they eventually released a collection of music in the late ’90s titled, Music from The Adventures of Pete and Pete — a must have for anyone who wants to enjoy/understand life.
That’ll do for now, that’ll do.
Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy Tracklist:
01. Thom Yorke – “All for the Best”
02. The National – “Ashamed of the Story I Told”
03. Michael Stipe – “Everythings Coming Undone”
04. David Berkeley – “Love’s the Only Thing That Shuts Me Up”
05. Dinosaur Jr. – “The Backyard”
06. Chris Harford and Mr. Ray Neal – “Micon the Icon”
07. Frank Black – “Bill Jocko”
08. Vic Chesnutt – “Little Man”
09. Unbelievable Truth – “Ciao My Shining Star”
10. Butterflies of Love – “I Have Patience”
11. Chris Collingwood of Fountains of Wayne – “Cookie Jar”
12. Frank Turner – “The Quiet One”
13. Rocket From the Tombs – “In Pursuit of Your Happiness”
14. Ben Kweller – “Wake Up Whispering”
15. Josh Rouse – “I Woke Up in the Mayflower”
16. Autumn Defense – “Paradise”
17. Hayden – “Happy Birthday Yesterday”
18. Juliana Hatfield – “We’re Not in Charleston Anymore”
19. Mercury Rev – “Sailors and Animals”
20. Elvis Perkins – “She Watches Over Me”
21. Sean Watkins – “A World Away From This One”

Revenue is down this year for the Banks County Health Department.
District 2 Public Health Director Dr. David N. Westfall told Banks County Health Board members on Tuesday, Dec. 9, that total revenues for the health department are down around $7,000.
“We are financially stable,” he said. “We are not looking at any layoffs here.”
This is not true at some of the other health departments in the District 2 region, Westfall said.
Outpatient fees are down and environmental fees are up about $1,600, Westfall added. The increase in environmental fees is due to a change in the rate structure recently.
In other business at the monthly health board meeting:
•Westfall asked board vice-chairman Gene Hart to sign the Banks County Health Board on as a signatory for the Campaign For Public Health. Westfall said, “With more and more people losing their jobs, more and more people will be turning to public health departments.” The family planning budget has already been cut, Westfall added.
•Dale Carter presented the environmental health report for September, October and November. Some 28 applications were taken for this period compared to 56 at this time last year. The department also had 14 new permits, 14 re-evaluation permits and four repair permits taken this quarter. Two new subdivisions are pending. The county has 63 food service restaurants, plus seven county facilities, Carter reported.
•Hart said McDonald’s, Highway 441, Banks Crossing, is set to be demolished and re-built. “They will be closing January 1,” Hart said.
•the board welcomed Cathi Durham, Georgia Academy of Family Physicians. Public health has a contract for the academy to help get information out.
•JoAnn Dodd, Banks County Health Department nurse, presented the health department news to the board. Dodd said the pandemic flu exercise in October went well. The department is currently focusing on health checks, 27 were done last month.

Based on the physical version that is played on casino tables around the globe, online poker allows enthusiasts to play their favorite game from the comfort of their own homes. Many players prefer this version of poker, as they can avoid coming face to face with the dealer and other players across the table – a prospect that can often prove to be very intimidating indeed! You can avail the best casino bonuses at Best Casino Source.
At Best Casino Source, we’ve compiled a list of the best web based casinos that offer online poker. These sites are secure, licensed and regulated, and also offer some of the best deals and best casino bonuses cyberspace has to offer.
When playing online casino games – including online poker – it pays to find the sites that offer the best casino bonuses. Why? Because it means you get better value for money! Many sites offer best casino bonuses deposits, meaning the casino operator contributes a certain amount of money to your account when you place your first deposit. The best sites offer a 100% match up to a certain amount, which means you can essentially double your initial outlay.
There are a number of sites that offer great first deposit bonuses for those wanting to play online poker. These best casino bonuses mean you have more money in your account to play with – at no extra cost to you. Our recommendations are:
1. Jackpot City Casino (first deposit bonus with 100% match, up to $1,600)
2. Spin Palace (first deposit bonus with 100% match, up to $1,000)
3. Ruby Fortune (first deposit bonus with 100% match, up to $750)
4. Gaming Club (first deposit bonus with 100% match, up to $200 plus second deposit bonus with 150% match, up to $150)
5. Lucky Nugget (first deposit bonus with 100% match, up to $1,000)
6. Cabaret Club Casino (first deposit bonus with 100% match, up to $600)
7. River Belle (first deposit bonus, matching up to $800)
8. Mummy’s Gold (first deposit bonus, matching up to $500)
9. Casino Epoca (first deposit bonus, matching up to $200)
The above mentioned best casino bonuses are not to be confused with ‘Bonus Poker’, a particular type of online poker game offered by most gaming websites (the majority of online casinos listed on our site offer Bonus Poker).
Based on ‘Jacks or Better’ poker, Bonus Poker differs in that it offers a higher payout percentage for four of a kind. The full pay version of this game can theoretically return 99.2%, which is very high.
There are also two subsequent versions of Bonus Poker – Double Bonus Poker and Double, Double Bonus Poker. Double Bonus Poker offers a bonus payout for four aces and a maximum theoretical return of 100.2%, while Double, Double Bonus Poker offers a bonus payout for different four of a kinds and a maximum theoretical return of 100.1%. These games are relatively complex and are therefore better suited to those who have a little more gaming experience.
Online poker is a popular casino game around the world, from Canada and the United States, through to Australia and the United Kingdom. In some of these countries, online gambling is somewhat limited. For example, Australians cannot play Aussie pokies online – let alone a game of poker – if the online casino is run from Australia. Australians must play all online casinos games from offshore websites, as it’s illegal for Australian based companies to offer online games such as poker, blackjack and pokies in Australia – i.e. to fellow citizens. Canada also has complicated online gambling laws, with most citizens opting to play via offshore sites – although there are some online gambling sites run from within Canada that are considered legal. Conversely, the British are able to play games via UK-run websites (as well as offshore sites) thanks to excellent industry regulation.
Online poker is a game of skill, although luck certainly plays its part. If you enjoy playing a game every now and then, save your luck for the table – rather than relying on it to pick the right gaming website. Best Casino Source has done the hard yards for you; all you need to do is pick a recommended website from our list and start playing. We are a leading source for those in search of legitimate online casino operators worldwide, whether you want to play poker, baccarat, blackjack or poker machines online in Australia, Canada, UK, US or anywhere else in the world.

Abuse survivors wait decades to report
The Rape Crisis Network Ireland has called for a Yes vote in the Children’s referendum as new figures reveal the majority of survivors attending support centres suffered abuse as children.
Of the 2,038 survivors who attended Rape Crisis Centres for counselling and support in 2011, 53 per cent of females and 84 per cent of males reported that the violence took when they were children only.
The statistics, contained in a report to be published on Friday, reveal survivors of child sexual abuse waited on average 25 years before accessing support services, compared to an average wait of 5 years for survivors of adult sexual violence.
“Through fear of being blamed for the abuse, through fear of not being believed and through lack of support they suffered unnecessarily in silence for decades,” Rape Crisis Network Ireland director Fiona Neary said.
She said the vast majority of survivors knew their abuser.
“Across the board the abusers are known to children and in particular children under the age of 12,” Ms Neary said, adding that the majority of survivors attending the service came from this age group.
Calling on people to “come out and vote Yes in the children’s referendum”, she said the State has to “explicitly” put the rights of children into the Constitution “so we listen to children while they are children and not 20 years later.”
She told RTÉ’s Morning Ireland that just 1 per cent of abuse against under-12s was perpetrated by a stranger, while family members were responsible in 60 per cent of cases.
In the 12 to17 age group, 10 per cent of abuse came from a stranger, 20 per cent from within the family and 40 per cent from someone close to the family.
In a statement, the Rape Crisis Network Ireland said the statistics revealed that home was one of the most dangerous places for survivors of child sexual violence.
“A quarter of all male survivors and 37 per cent of female survivors of child sexual violence disclosed that the abuse took place in their own home," it said.
“Overall, 47 per cent per cent of perpetrators of child sexual violence were family members. For boys, 31 per cent of perpetrators were family members, 30 per cent were friends or acquaintances, and 24 per cent were authority figures. For girls, 50 per cent of perpetrators were family members, 27 per cent were friends or acquaintances and 5 per cent were authority figures.”


I’m currently looking more into security aspects of distributed systems, with most efforts going into privacy preservation when monitoring crowds.
Since a number of years I have been concentrating on monitoring the mobility of people, assuming they carry a device such as an electronic badge or a smartphone.
Our current research mainly concentrates on increasing the accuracy of detections (and thus the data analyses) and preserving privacy, which form part of our Living Smart Campus project at the UT. Much of this work is done in collaboration with the Polytechnical University of Bucharest.
WiFi scanning: what we do (protecting privacy)
The most important component of our current work is to monitor crowd flows while preserving privacy by design. This has turned out to be a nasty problem that has not been addressed enough. Counting the number of devices at a single location while protecting them from being identified is relatively simple. The dificulty is counting the number of devices that move from location A to location B in a privacy-preserving manner. We are exploring two types of solutions.
The first is to digitally hide a device in a crowd of devices, known as detection k-anonymity. In essence, we assign the same identifier to multiple devices. Easy for a single location, but not that easy if you want to cover movements between between any two arbitrarily chosen sensors at different locations.
The second is to have sensors save detections in encrypted Bloom filters. Bloom filters are bit strings used to represent sets and essentially support only membership testing, basic set operations (intersection, union) and estimating the size of a set. These properties allow us to compute the Bloom filter representing the intersection of what we detected at A and what was later detected at B, and thus the size of that set, which is the number of devices that had moved from A to B. Proper encryption and shuffling the bits prevents that neither the sensors, nor even the entity capable of decrypting a Bloom filter to discover detections. Only statistical counts can be retrieved from this setup.
WiFi scanning: what we did (understanding measurements)
Much of the current efforts are targeted toward more practical crowd monitoring, namely through scanning of WiFi-enabled personal devices such as smartphones. There are important differences with using badges. First, because so many people carry a smartphone, large-scale experiments with thousands of devices become possible. We have monitored multi-day festivals with over 100,000 participants. Second, WiFi data is extremely noisy, meaning that there is a tremendous data-analytics problem before we can even draw conclusions. Third, because smartphones do not detect each other, we have essentially lost a very powerful instrument: our proximity graphs. Fourth, because we are unintrusively monitoring personal devices, there are serious privacy issues to deal with.
We have run experiments with indoor and outdoor (see picture) sensors, previously provided by BlueMark Innovations.
Back in the old days: using active badges
Our first efforts toward crowd monitoring used active badges. Participants were required to use a home-brewed device that deployed a wireless so-called gossiping protocol to exchange information. The main challenge was to devise a large-scale wireless system in which the badges operated on a very low duty cycle (less than 1%, meaning they were passively asleep 99% of the time), while waking up all at the same time. During the active period they would be able to detect each other, which was the information we used to extract a proximity graph. This is a spatial-temporal graph reflecting which devices had detected each other (see the example). We managed to build real systems with over 400 badges and ran simulations demonstrating we could handle thousands of devices that stayed synchronized even in the presence of network partitions.

Google has begun legal proceedings against BT in a Californian court over four patents as it vowed to defend itself against "patent trolls".
BT had issued its own legal action against Google in 2011 over six patents relating to mobile technology but is now facing new action from the search giant.
In a statement sent to V3, Google said it was only taking the action "as a last resort" and had no other option given BT's aggressive stance.
"BT has brought several meritless patent claims against Google and our customers - and they've also been arming patent trolls," it said.
"When faced with these kind of actions, we will defend ourselves."
V3 contacted BT for comment on the developments but it said it does not comment on pending litigation.
The case represents just another in the long of patent cases dominating the technology landscape, involving the likes of Google, Apple and Samsung, with cases grabbing the headlines around the world throughout 2012.
Since the turn of the year these cases have showed no signs of easing, with Apple attempting to have its initial $1bn court win against Samsung increased to $3bn, although this was rejected by a US judge.

Why should you recycle your old computer?
Computers house all sorts of toxins that are bad for the environment and all of us who live in it. Not to mention the personal information—passwords, account numbers, license keys or registration numbers for software programs, addresses and phone numbers, medical and prescription information, tax returns and other personal documents—that you would rather not fall into the wrong hands.
When you save a file, especially a large one, it is scattered around the hard drive in bits and pieces. When you open a file, the hard drive gathers the bits and pieces and reconstructs them.
When you delete a file, the links to reconstruct the file disappear. But the bits and pieces of the deleted file stay on your computer until they’re overwritten, and they can be retrieved with a data recovery program. To remove data from a hard drive permanently, the hard drive needs to be wiped clean.
Many of the basic components in an old computer can be reused. This includes plastic from keyboards, metal from computer housing, and glass from older monitors. At the same time, toxic substances in computers like lead and cadmium need to be kept out of landfills and groundwater.

Almost 20 Years After ‘Legally Blonde 2,’ Reese Witherspoon and Regina King Talk About Changing Hollywood
HBO’s “Watchmen,” Regina King plays Angela Abar, also known as the masked police detective Sister Night. A drama about the legacy of racial trauma, “Watchmen” shows us the way we live now through the lens of the eponymous 1986 graphic novel — a world in which costumed vigilantes are very much a real thing. Reese Witherspoon — who worked with King in “Legally Blonde 2” in 2003 — was in three shows recently: “Big Little Lies,” “The Morning Show” and “Little Fires Everywhere.” In the last one, set in upper-middle-class Shaker Heights, Ohio, in the ’90s, she plays Elena Richardson, an uptight white woman we would now call a Karen. Angela would arrest Elena for her white privilege.
Note: This conversation for Variety‘s Actors on Actors took place before the protests over police brutality swept through the United States — which is too bad, because “Watchmen,” which aired in the fall, was prescient about such things.
Reese Witherspoon: I feel like I met you when I was 23 years old.
Regina King: I know — we have grown children. We met each other on “Legally Blonde.” Remember when you got Sally Field to play that part? We were just fanning out. And you got to do that again on “Big Little Lies” with Meryl Streep. How do you do it, girl? Putting on your producer cap and your acting cap — are you wearing them simultaneously?
Witherspoon: Well, I try and make them an offer they can’t refuse. I knew I wanted to work with you too. I remember seeing you in “Jerry Maguire,” and I was like, “I’m going to work with her.” You had a spirit inside of you. You have won so many Emmys at this point. Do you have a favorite moment, or a moment that just sits in your heart, that you can never forget? Or the Oscar!
King: They’re all special moments. What about you? I remember when you won the Oscar, and I might have had one drink three times at the Vanity Fair party, and it was such a pure moment. I remember standing at the table eating In-N-Out burgers with your Oscar there. It was so joyous, but you were still my girl.

A Statue for Toulmin.
A top post at the AT! Blog recently – and one of my favorites over the past several years. Enjoy!
In the small city of Springfield, Ohio, now stands an 8-foot statue dedicated to the Wright Brother’s patent attorney, Harry Toulmin. Mr. Toulmin was the patent lawyer who prepared and prosecuted the patent for Wilbur and Orville Wright’s flying machine . . . yes, the original airplane.
According to this article at Law.com, Toulmin helped the Wright brothers apply for five patents, including the 1906 flying machine’s patent (U.S. Pat. No. 821,393 or the ‘393 patent). Other Wright patents also include U.S. Pat. Nos. , , , , , and ,
The above article fails to mention, however, that the brothers only turned to Toulmin after the original application they had drafted themselves was rejected by the USPTO. The ‘393 patent drafted by Toulmin had broad claims covering methods of controlling a flying machine, regardless of whetherthe machine was powered. In particular, the patent described a system that allowed the aircraft to be controlled in flight, and specifically a…

Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners Takes Step To Expanded Mentored Youth Opportunities
HARRISBURG – Taking a step forward to grow the agency’s popular Mentored Youth Hunting Program (MYHP), the Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners today gave preliminary approval to add coyotes to the list of species that may be hunted by youths under the age of 12 while under the supervision of a mentor. To take effect, the Board must approve the proposal at its next meeting, which is scheduled for Oct. 24.
The proposed regulatory change was recommended by the Governor’s Youth Advisory Council for Hunting, Fishing and Conservation and the Pennsylvania Fox and Coyote Hunters Association.
Under the program, a mentor is defined as a properly licensed individual at least 21 years of age, who serves as a guide to a mentored youth while engaged in hunting or related activities, such as scouting, learning firearm and hunter safety and wildlife identification. A mentored youth is defined as an unlicensed individual under the age of 12, who is accompanied by a mentor while engaged in hunting or related activities.
The mentor-to-mentored youth ratio may not exceed one mentor to one youth, and the pair may possess only one sporting arm while hunting. While moving, the sporting arm must be carried by the mentor. When the pair reaches a stationary hunting location, the mentor may turn over possession of the sporting arm to the youth and must keep the youth within arm’s length at all times.
“As with other MYHP opportunities, mentored youth who choose to hunt for coyotes must do so from a stationary hunting location,” said Carl G. Roe, Game Commission executive director.
The MYHP, first implemented by the Board in 2006, also enables participating youth to hunt for squirrel, woodchuck (groundhog), spring gobbler and antlered deer.
Youth and mentors are required to abide by all fluorescent orange regulations, and the mentored youth must tag and report any antlered deer or spring gobbler taken. Mentored youth may participate in the youth-only squirrel season and the youth-only spring gobbler day, as well as the general squirrel and spring gobbler seasons.
Youths participating in the Mentored Youth Hunting Program are required to follow the same antler restrictions as a junior license holder, which is two or more points on one antler or one antler three or more inches in length. Mentored youth may only pursue antlered deer, and may only participate in seasons in which antlered deer are legal and must follow appropriate sporting arm restrictions.

The importance of iron
Iron is necessary for proper brain development. A low level of iron is called iron- deficiency or anemia. It can have a permanent negative effect on a child’s brain development. It can also affect the child’s cognitive or mental abilities.
Iron during pregnancy
Your baby will absorb iron from your body while she grows in your uterus. If you have good iron stores in your body, then your baby will be born with plenty of iron for the first six months or longer. It is helpful if the umbilical cord is left to finish pulsing before it is cut. This allows more blood to flow to your baby. More blood means more iron.
Recent research has shown that many pregnant women in Canada have low iron levels. This means they are anemic. Anemia appears to be more common in some populations than others. Consult your healthcare provider if you have questions about your iron levels.
If you are anemic, you will require an iron supplement during pregnancy. You will also be encouraged to eat iron-rich foods. (See the list of iron-rich foods at the end of this sheet.) Taking an iron supplement and eating iron-rich foods will ensure adequate amounts of iron during pregnancy.
Vitamin C helps in the absorption of iron. It is helpful to take a supplement that contains both iron and vitamin C. On the other hand, calcium and zinc inhibit the absorption of the type of iron in most iron supplements. Avoid taking a prenatal vitamin with calcium/zinc and the iron supplement at the same time. Instead, take each supplement at a different time of day. Both too much iron and too little iron can be harmful to your body. Consult your healthcare provider before taking any supplements during pregnancy.
The impact of anemia (low iron) on milk production
Anemia can cause fatigue and low milk supply. It can even be mistaken for postpartum depression. If you struggle with fatigue or low milk supply, consider asking your healthcare provider to check the iron levels in your body. This is done with a blood test.
Iron in human milk
The levels of iron in human milk are remarkably constant despite variations in maternal diet or the mother’s iron body stores. Your milk contains the perfect amount of iron to complement your baby’s own iron stores while exclusively breastfeeding. There is also enough to tide your child over during the introduction to solid foods. This iron is in a highly bioavailable form. That means that it’s easy for your baby’s body to absorb. Babies can absorb up to 50% of the iron in human milk, as opposed to only 4-10% of the iron in iron-fortified cereal. The lactose and vitamin C in human milk increase iron absorption.
Human milk contains small amounts of iron, but breastfed babies generally are not anemic or iron deficient. The reason is found in the gut microbes. Studies have shown that formula fed babies have higher numbers of iron-stealing bacteria in their guts. This reduces the amount of iron which can be absorbed by these babies. Breastfed babies, on the other hand, have less iron-stealing bacteria and more vitamin C producing bacteria in their guts. Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron.
What about iron supplements for your baby?
Full-term babies who are exclusively breastfed for the first six months generally don’t need iron supplements. However, babies born premature, or exclusively breastfed for less than six months, may have low iron levels. If you are concerned about your baby’s iron levels, speak to your healthcare provider. They can easily be checked with a blood test.
Some babies given iron supplements experience digestive upsets, such as vomiting and diarrhea. These supplements can change the balance of the gut flora. Your milk contains two proteins that bind with iron in your baby’s gut. This prevents harmful iron-loving bacteria from multiplying. When iron supplements are given to a breastfed baby, these proteins are overwhelmed by the extra iron in the baby’s gut. This allows harmful iron-loving bacteria to thrive.
Introducing iron-rich foods
The World Health Organization, Health Canada and Canadian Pediatric Society all recommend that babies be fed human milk only until about the middle of the first year. By about the middle of the first year, the iron your baby got in utero and before the umbilical cord was cut will be almost gone. Babies with larger iron stores can go longer before needing additional iron from their food. Those with smaller stores, such as premature babies or those whose mothers were anemic during pregnancy, may need iron from food sooner.
Once solids are started, babies should eat some foods rich in iron. For most babies these will provide sufficient amounts of iron. Most breastfed babies do not need iron supplements.
It is normal for babies to spend a lot of time exploring and playing with food at first. It can be several weeks, or even several months, before a baby is eating a significant amount of solids. However, some babies eat quite a bit starting on day one. This is understood in the recommendation to begin solids at six months. As the months progress, most babies will work up to taking solids on a regular basis. In the meantime, the iron in your milk will continue to provide your baby with a source of iron that is easily absorbed by your baby’s body.
Foods to introduce
Because human milk is relatively low in protein, foods that are high in protein, iron and zinc, such as red meats, are an appropriate early food for breastfed babies.
La Leche League suggests babies start with ripe banana, avocado, yam or sweet potato to introduce them to different tastes and textures. This also gives them practice with the process of tasting and swallowing. Meat is the next recommended food because of its high content of protein and iron. (The form of iron in meat is especially bioavailable.) Vegetarian families would want to offer non-meat iron-rich protein foods. (See list below.) After that come whole grain breads and cereals.
(Note that because formula is much higher in protein than human milk, low protein foods such as iron fortified cereals may be better first foods for formula-fed babies. This prevents formula-fed babies from getting too much protein which can put stress on a formula-fed baby’s kidneys.)
The following iron-rich foods can be introduced around six months:
- Dark green and bright orange fruits and vegetables, such as: spinach, broccoli, green peas, kale, sweet potatoes, yams, winter squash
- Meat and poultry
- Egg yolks
- Whole grain breads and whole grain and enriched pasta
- Whole grain cereals such as brown rice, oats and barley
- Lentils, dried peas, soy beans, hummus
- Seeds: pumpkin, sesame, sunflower, tahini Nuts, including peanuts
- Molasses, prune juice and tomato juice
