Unfortunately, the above-quoted statements are totally wrong. One need to make this thing very clear in mind that 'security and forensics' both these terms are closely related to each other. There is no existence of one word without another one. In order to clear concepts on 'what is digital forensics and Cyber security', we are here with this post. Proper definition over the same will be explained separately in the blog with a description of the relationship between both these terms, at the end.
The combination of processes, technologies, and controls designed to safeguard machines, organizational networks, and information from Cyber attacks is known as Cyber security. It reduces the cloud security risks and provides protection against unauthorized system exploitation, technologies, and networks. Almost large enterprises are well-known from the importance and strong measures to secure cloud database but still, there is lack of awareness among medium & small organizations about threats and vulnerabilities of cloud computing. It happens because enterprises under this category have an assumption that they cannot be a viable target.
Advisory firms are giving preference to a more proactive and update measures to get security against today's trending Cyber threats like Ransomware.
Both the digital forensics and Cyber security process is correlated to each other. They are almost same in one or the another way. The purpose of both cloud security services and digital forensics professionals is to completely stop cybercrime activity. A unique mindset needs to be shared among both to think in the way a criminal thought. This will help security experts to anticipate all possible Cyber attacks and hence, provide time to think over their prevention techniques. For sure it is impossible to be safe from all Cyber threats because who knows when a new threat occurs with what consequences. But, proper Cyber security solutions against cloud protection risks, will decrease the chances of data breach.
Unfortunately, sometimes attacks and intrusions happen and here comes the need for a forensic expert. Initially, an expert think like a criminal's mindset enabling him / her to investigate the incident in a briefer manner. When digital forensic investigators put themselves in shoes of an attacker, they are capable of learning the purpose behind crime occurrence. This ability to think like a hacker, with combination of experts technical skills and knowledge, creates a combination of security professionals and Cyber forensic experts. They start rebuilding events in all possible manner and finally, determine the evidences left by the attackers while committing the crime. The responsibility of digital forensic experts do not finishes here! They also applies Cyber security solutions to prevent the threat occurrence in future and assists their clients to be updated with prevention measures.
This was all on 'what is digital forensics and Cyber security'. Enterprises need to remember one thing that both these things are not at all different. They are correlated to each other and equally important in today's digital scenario. Without cloud security, it is impossible to work flexibly with cloud in a safe mode and without digital forensic experts, its not possible to determine the trending Cyber attack and hence, the preventive measures against it.

Nauporto () é uma antiga cidade romana na Panônia Superior, na estrada que ligava Aquileia a Emona e um porto fluvial no rio Nauporto, moderno rio Liublianica.

História
Segundo o historiador romano Plínio, o Velho, o nome é derivado de um lendário desembarque dos argonautas no local, onde teriam fundado a cidade. Tácito relata que, em 14, a cidade foi saqueada por uma legião rebelde que havia sido enviada para o local para construir estradas e pontes.

Restos de Nauporto foram encontrados na moderna cidade de Vrhnika, na Eslovênia central. Um antigo empório romano foi também encontrado no local, juntamente com galpões fluviais. Restos de um antigo sistema defensivo, conhecido como , de uma torre de guarda e de um antigo castelo podem ser visitados em Vrhnika e arredores

View from the press box: Great to see Cambridge United giving local non-League talent a chance with Jevani Brown signing
Cambridge United reporter Aaron Mason has his say on the arrival of Jevani Brown from St Neots Town

When Jevani Brown joined Cambridge United last week, it elicited as much excitement among fans as the more celebrated likes of Jabo Ibehre and David Forde did in signing up this summer.
Obviously, supporters had had a chance to see the striker in action as a trialist before he put pen to paper on a two-year deal and they were clearly impressed with his work, as was Shaun Derry.
But there is something about a locally-based player being given a chance in the professional ranks that always captures the imagination.
Brown was in the youth ranks at Peterborough United, but drifted into non-League football after leaving by mutual consent at the age of 19 in 2013.

However, after bagging 19 goals in 20 games since joining St Neots Town from Stamford in January, he has created quite a stir, even attracting the attention of Birmingham towards the end of last season.
Sometimes in the past United have let local talent go begging – Newmarket Town winger Alex Rhodes moved to Brentford in 2003 after having trials with Norwich City, Ipswich Town and Yeovil, off the back of scoring three successive hat-tricks, with the U's being a bit late to the party with their interest.
A failed medical is all that separated United from signing Conor Washington from St Ives Town in 2012 after he had banged in 52 goals in one season.
You cannot blame United for being cautious after it was reportedly discovered there was a small problem with cartilage in his left knee.
But Newport went on to take a chance and he has gone on to play for Peterborough, Queens Park Rangers and ultimately, Northern Ireland in Euro 2016.

At 22, Brown still has time on his side to make a go of his opportunity with United, but also he probably realises there are unlikely to be many further chances of making a name for himself if things do not pan out.
You only have to look at Derry's comments on Brown though, to see that he thinks he not only has technical ability but also the hunger to succeed.
He said: "He has dipped his toes in at a professional football club before and for whatever reason he finds himself out of it.
"I think when that happens the penny drops sometimes for young players and he has got a great desire now to make up for lost time and we've given him that opportunity and we hope he takes that opportunity with both hands.

"What we also have to be aware of is there has to be a patience with this in terms of him coming from the level he has just played at and making that same impact at League level, that's a big step and very few players can make that step.
"But if Jevani comes into the group, listens and takes on board all the information we can give him, he has got a good chance.
"I think where Jevani stands out for me is he has a real clear message. He wants to give this a proper crack and I take my hat off to him for that."
Certainly, if Brown ends up following in the footsteps of the last young locally-based player given an opportunity by United – Will Norris, signed from Royston Town in 2012 and now with Wolves – it will have been an extremely worthwhile move on the part of the club.

Everyone you meet has an effect on your life.
Somehow, in some way, others change you: a stranger's smile lifts your mood. Kindness makes you happy. An injustice spurs you to action, making you someone else's change. Clearly, as in the new memoir "Truth Doesn't Have a Side" by Dr. Bennet Omalu (with Mark Tabb), a chance meeting could alter your path.
Sometime toward the end of 2002, Bennett Omalu met Mike Webster.More specifically, Omalu met Autopsy A02-5214.
Omalu was born in the midst of a bombing raid on the small Nigerian town in which his parents had taken refuge. Civil war didn't last long but it left its mark: Omalu says he was always physically small for his age, due to wartime malnutrition, but it didn't affect his mental abilities. Omalu's father, a self-made man with a college degree, insisted that his children become educated; Omalu started school at age three.
He was an introverted child, a dreamer, and "lazy," but Omalu knew he could get good grades if he wanted them. The problem was, he didn't want them, until an older sister enticed him with money. His grades rose and he became a star student who dreamed of becoming a pilot – but Omalu's father had other ideas. He wanted another doctor in the family.
Unwilling to disappoint his father, Omalu entered medical school at age sixteen, with an eye toward going to America. Med school revealed to him that he was uncomfortable with caring for living patients so, by the time he emigrated, he'd shifted his focus to a career in research. Later, he reached for a fellowship in pathology.
His first autopsy was unsettling, he says, until he recognized the humanity of the remains before him. As he does even today, he asked the deceased to help him understand.
So you've seen the movie, Concussion. You may've even read the book. So why read this one, written by the guy the other book and film are about?
If you've always felt that the book is better than the movie, you know why: in "Truth Doesn't Have a Side," author Bennet Omalu (with Mark Tabb) offers his own tale, first-hand, with a different focus. Omalu tells readers more about himself, explaining how faith protects and drives him, and laying his success at God's feet. This, along with his detailed story, gives a clearer picture of the man who confronted the NFL.
And that's where the second half of this book takes you: to Omalu's discovery, uncovery, his opinions and conclusions, and his battle for recognition, both in findings and out. It's this second half that may disturb football fans. It may shock parents.
It could change your weekends.
If you can handle that, then grab this elegantly graceful, informative bio-wrapped-in-science and have a seat. "Truth Doesn't Have a Side" is good, so settle in and meet your next favorite book.
For another side of the subject, check out "Playing Hurt: My Journey from Despair to Hope" by John Saunders. It's a story of football and depression – something, coincidentally, that Omalu says he suffered from, too. Together, these books will have you glued to your seat.


What happens when one of the very best books you've ever read suddenly pops up on your project list? You freak the hell out, that's what. I read Olive Kitteridge a few years ago, during a lazy weekend in Palm Springs. It was a "read for fun" title and I can tell you, that is a rarity for me.
I feel immensely lucky to work in audiobooks and to be surrounded by literature, but it means that I'm constantly reading. And I'm a pretty slow reader, so I just don't have the time or the bandwidth to check out many titles that I'm not already working on. If a book has won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (as Olive Kitteridge did in 2009), it's generally on my radar. Combined with the fact that Elizabeth Strout is a literary hero of mine, and that Olive Kitteridge is a collection of short stories, it felt like the perfect choice for a weekend getaway. It was.
I knew that Elizabeth Strout was writing a sequel to Olive and I've been losing my mind in anticipation. So you can imagine my delight when I found out that PRH Audio would be releasing a new recording of Olive Kitteridge just ahead of Olive, Again (which publishes in October). Two audiobooks by THIS author featuring THIS character? I could not be more thrilled!
As with Elizabeth Strout's two previous novels, I knew right away that I wanted to direct the program and that I'd like to cast Kimberly Farr as the narrator. Kimberly is one of the finest actresses I know, and she gets Elizabeth's stuff. The tone, the pace, the shifts of energy (which can be volatile), Kimberly inherently understands these things and is able to translate them beautifully. I knew, too, that Elizabeth really loved the work Kimberly did on her previous books, My Name Is Lucy Barton and Anything Is Possible and would likely endorse this decision. I'm happy to say that she did, enthusiastically.
So, how did Kimberly and I prep? We decidedly did NOT watch the HBO miniseries featuring Frances McDormand and Richard Jenkins, two actors that we greatly admire. I was afraid of being influenced by those performances, and did not want our decisions to be based on others' interpretations of this text. I felt we needed to approach it with no preconceived notions.
The book takes place mostly in Maine, so naturally we contemplated the handling of that accent, which is incredibly specific, since there are hints of it peppered over the dialogue. Luckily, we consulted with Elizabeth and she politely requested that we NOT use accents, for anyone. So, though our characters hale from Maine, the sound of our production is regionally unspecific.
We also reached out to Elizabeth to clarify some pronunciations and a few lingering questions. I even asked her, at one point, "So, when Henry is referring to 'her' here, who does he actually mean, since two women are mentioned in this sentence?" Elizabeth was, I think, touched by our level of devotion and answered these questions quickly and thoughtfully, and with her usual wit and charm. I still thrill over the chance to chat with her.
And what can I say about those recording sessions? Well, they were emotional and the recording shows it: it's lovely and moving and Kimberly gave this book everything it was asking for. These stories are glimpses into the lives of the people who inhabit a small town in Maine, with Olive being the most prominent among them. Kimberly perfectly captures Olive in all her complex glory, but she also breathes vivid life into the whole cast of characters, young and old alike.
We're quite proud of this recording and excited to share it with you. And we're happy to report that we'll be returning to the booth this summer to record Olive, Again. And only AFTER that recording will we be tuning in to the HBO series to see more of Olive! I don't think I'll ever tire of her.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Now an Emmy Award-winning HBO Miniseries starring Frances McDormand and Bill Murray.
In a story more powerful and compassionate than ever before, New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Strout binds together thirteen rich, luminous narratives through the presence of one larger-than-life, unforgettable character: Olive Kitteridge. Introduce your patrons to this new audio production of a modern classic, read by award-winning narrator Kimberly Farr.
Coming to audio on October 15, 2019!

To My Lakers Family
Andrew D. Bernstein/NBAE via Getty Images
From the day I became a Laker, I had one thing on my mind.
I had to have a sit down with Kobe.
That whole summer I was banging down Rob Pelinka's phone every damn day trying to get hold of Mamba.
I'm hitting Rob all the time like, "Come on, help me out. I'm trying to talk to him." And this goes on for like a minute.
Then finally one night, we're in Minnesota for a game the next day. It's almost 11, I'm stretching in my hotel room, and I get a random text, just out the blue.
"Yo, this is Bean. Let's do dinner. Sunday when you guys get back."
I'm like, This is Kobe….. texting my phone. What the fuck is going on right now?
Courtesy of Kyle Kuzma
So I show up at the restaurant that Sunday.
I'm always on time for dinner, but tonight I'm 15 minutes early. I'm just sitting there for a while, until his security shows up. They walk in, and they're like, "Hey, we're gonna take you back to the table. Kobe's almost here. Driving in right now."
So now I'm sitting at the dinner table, and I'm just waiting.
We have two tables because one table's for me and Kobe, and the other table's for his three or four security guards. And I'm just sitting at the table by myself waiting for him. I'm on my phone, I'm thinking about this dinner, I'm sipping water, I'm thinking about how it's gonna go. And then one of the security guys gets up from his table. He walks over to me and says, "Hey. Kobe just parked. He's two minutes out."
I'm like, "Alright, cool." But on the inside I'm just fucking sweating, and I don't even know why I'm sweating right now. I have a white t-shirt on, and I'm looking at my shirt like, Dang.
All of a sudden Kobe walks in, and it's literally like Moses spreading the ocean. Everybody in the restaurant is just looking at him. And he comes to the table, and he's like, "Kuz, what up man?" Just completely chill. But I'm like, Oh shit, Kobe knows my name.
We're at that table for about two hours. And we're just talking about life, basketball, how I grew up, how he grew up. The ups and downs of his career. We talked about his business life. Things that really influenced him. The cool thing with Kobe — he was always trying to get smart. He was always trying to gain knowledge, and he'd find that from anything. So he's not just sitting there answering questions. He's asking me all this stuff, too. Man, just like, "How has your upbringing shaped you? How do you think it's helping you in your pro career right now?" Things like that. And he didn't have to do those things, but he did.
That was a really cool night for me. It's a memory that just gets more important and more special to me as time goes by.
But you know, that really just speaks to how many people I've had the chance to meet and build relationships with here. There's Kobe, but I've also had great mentors like Magic, and Robert Horry (he's always checking in), and James Worthy. And having LeBron here, you obviously can't get better than that. I was always trying to beat LeBron to the gym. I don't think he even knew. That was just a goal I had for myself. And other guys, too. Having Anthony be the type of defensive player he is has really inspired me. Having Rajon teach me the essence of watching film has been so important.
I've accumulated all of that knowledge over four years, man.
It really just blows my mind. That's the best way I can put it. I'm incredibly grateful for all the relationships, everything I've had in Los Angeles.

I keep thinking to myself like, How many people on earth get to say they were part of bringing a chip to the Lakers?
After my second year, when the AD trade went down, they kept me here, and that for me personally was like, O.K., this is it.
It was like a certified, Hey, we believe in you. We believe that you're a winning type of player. And we believe that you can help us win a championship. That's when I started to see myself as part of the bigger picture here. An actual piece of the puzzle.
And then it happened — it really came true.
We went to the Bubble, during an incredibly difficult time in the world, and we got it done.
I remember the night we won the championship, we're in the Bubble, and we're just celebrating with the organization. It was just us as a team and the staff that had been there with us the whole time. So everybody went to this place that we always ate at called Three Bridges. It was like midnight, and everybody's out there. Everyone's getting lit. Everybody's drinking, smoking cigars. And it was just so surreal because it's like, Man……. this really is the end of the road. We WON. What the hell do we do now???
How often in a career do you get to experience something like that?
How often in life??
Out of all the surreal parts of being a Laker, the one I'll cherish most might be this: the opportunity to play for fans who really love you.
Checking into a game and scoring a couple big baskets, and just hearing the crowd roar KUUUUUZ in Staples Center…. Man, that feeling is electrifying. It's something I'll never ever forget.
I have so many great memories from games. Like, the game I had 41 in three quarters. That was a possessed type of a game. It's amazing how Staples is so in TUNE to those types of moments, those scoring barrages. All those Kobe nights: whether it was 81, or 65, or 60 in his last game ever. Or even games where AD went crazy and had 45s, 50s. When a night like that happens, you see the fans gravitate to every basket. They want you to score every single time. And for me to actually have one of those nights, it was just…… surreal.
It's almost like, when you have a great game as a Laker, it's more than just a great game. It's like it's part of a legacy.
And I guess what I really want to say is thank you, from the bottom of my heart — to all the fans, all my teammates, every part of the organization, the entire city of L.A. Thanks for making these past four seasons everything that they were to me.
Thanks for letting me be my own small part of this great legacy.
When you have a great game as a Laker, it's more than just a great game. It's like it's part of a legacy.
- Kyle Kuzma
And speaking on that word — legacy — I need to tell you one more Kobe story, then I'm out.
So that dinner happens with Kobe, right — the one I was telling you about?? Well, maybe a year goes by before I get the nerve to hit him up again. Finally, though, the next summer I text him like, "Yo, Kobe, we have to work out. I want to get in the gym with you."
And it was the same type of situation as the first time….. where I'm hitting him two, three times, trying to get in this workout. He's a busy man. He's traveling. He's doing things. But then near the end of the summer, probably around like August, he hits me up out the blue. That's just the type of person he was. He was Kobe, you know what I mean?? He was spontaneous and would just do shit on the fly. So I'm in L.A., it's Saturday night, and I'm about to go out with a couple friends. Then I get a random text at like 9:45, right as I'm out the door.
"Yo, fella, meet me at Newport at 8:00 AM Sunday morning."
That's Sunday morning as in the next morning. So I call up my friends I'm about to go off to eat with like, "Yo, I'm canceling. I got a workout tomorrow. See y'all later." And I just hung up the phone. Newport was like an hour away from me, so I wake up super, super early. Like 5:45 and leave my house at like 6:30. Nobody's on the road, so I'm low-key speeding getting to Newport because I just can't wait. And I just got this vision of Kobe in my head, him just being in the gym early, already there and waiting for me and sweating or some shit. I get there at about 7:15. Forty-five minutes early. Of course, this fucking guy doesn't show up til 8:05 — and we got an eight o'clock workout! And it was totally fine, but just hilarious to me because I'm obviously like sweating bullets that Kobe was gonna get there before me.
We get into the workout, and it's literally the hardest workout I've ever had in my life.
And like I said, it's August. That's close enough to the season, where I'm typically thinking I'm in pretty good shape. I'm running, I'm doing hills, I'm doing a bunch of conditioning things. But Kobe's telling me, "Alright, we're going to do this move, do that move. We got 25 reps of each movement." Usually you're in a gym and it's like make 10, make 12, whatever. We're doing 25 of each thing, man. I get done with this workout, I'm completely, completely dead tired. And I thought it was the worst workout of my life because I'm missing shots and stuff. But you know, we finish strong, shake hands and leave.
I run into Rob the next day, and he says, "Aw man, Kobe said that y'all had a great workout. He said that you were in really good shape." And I was like, No fucking way he said that.
So funny, man.
One little compliment from Kobe, that's really all it takes. I'll be telling my grandkids about the time Kobe said I was in shape. You keep stuff like that with you.

The emotion that I'm feeling most right now, as I sit down to write this, is gratitude.
I'm excited to bring all the stuff I've learned from Kobe and Bron and AD with me to D.C., and be a leader.
I'm excited to use all my past experiences to kind of spread my wings — and hopefully have a chance to help us do something special.
Everything I've been through…. every relationship I've had and lesson I've learned…. I truly believe it's prepared me for success in Washington.
I know that being around LeBron has reshaped my thinking in all of these important ways. Like, just the idea of thinking about a game as being about more than the score. I think in my first couple of years here, I was kind of a slave to the scoreboard. But now, I've had multiple games this year, where I've pushed myself so far beyond that. Or the idea of fully committing to doing it all — and just watching a guy like LeBron play defense, score, playmake, and also rebound, basically go all out, every single night. I never thought I would ever even come close to triple doubles….. but I understand how that kind of game is possible now.
And now, I get to make a new name for myself.
Having the opportunity to be in Washington, on a team full of guys who are ready to show what they can do….. I think I'm going to fit right in. I'm hungry to take my game to the next level.
The way I see it, I'm at a crossroads — but it's not a bad crossroads.
It's new beginnings.
I'm not necessarily that same 21-year-old kid coming into the league. I'm a 26-year-old young man that's been through a lot of things. That's what's truly been special about these four years. These are those rocky, early adult years where you're kind of an adult, kind of not. And so everybody who's been a part of my time here has watched me go through that. A lot of ups and downs and really just…. growth. I've had a chance to learn how to think beyond the individual, and become someone that can help bring a banner to a city. That takes a certain kind of evolution and sacrifice.
And I don't take it for granted for a second.
So thank you, L.A., for supporting me. For screaming my name in the arena. For sticking with me through injuries and setbacks. For everything.
Like I said, I'm so grateful. And also….. one other thing.
I'm proud as hell.
Once a Laker, always a Laker.

Facebook Announces Self Destructing Messages App
Posted on January 12, 2013 by Nikhil P Naik
The self destructing message app from Facebook is actually rebuilding of sort of an earlier feature when there were hardly a million users. That Facebook has more than a billion or so of registered users is another story, but the introduction of Poke App for iOS is noteworthy for the features it has in it. Facebook Poke is a very simple yet very dynamic app and what you will find so fascinating about it is that it will destroy the message as well the short video in less 10 seconds after it has been sent or viewed by the recipient. There will be absolutely no record of what was sent or seen.
Poke is flexible in that you can use it for sending message, photos or even videos. When you open the app what you will see first is a set of icon at the bottom of the display. Messages cannot be any longer than 120 characters, and photos have to be snaps and cannot be one of those that you have already stored in the camera for use in the Facebook Poke app. When you send the message, the photo or a video ensures that it small enough and decides for how long it should show on the receivers' display. You can choose between 1, 3, 5 or 10 seconds as you want it.
If you want you can see the sender's identity, but not once the message or visual has disappeared. Some say that Facebook's Poke is simply a copycat version of Snapshot that has been around for more than a year. Like the Snapshot, Facebook Poke too is an ad free service. Like in the case of Snapshot no one has any clue as to how Facebook will be making money out a service that handles about 50 million messages a day. It is very much evident that the service is much popular amongst young men and women than the older generation.
Obviously the Facebook Poke and Snapshot is aimed at sending things in a lighter vein and is not intended to be kept for long. The only way messages, photos and videos can be retained for eternity is to save it first and then send. The only way receipients can save is to take a snap shot of the screen, which again will warn the sender though. However, some features have been included that you can use to ward off unwanted messages and videos of an adult nature and you can report matters to keep you safe from harassment.
What is however intriguing is that you don't even need to have a Facebook account for sending or receiving messages, meaning that it is a standalone app. Standalone apps like these, some apprehend, can be used for sending explicit materials. Snapshot counters these concerns by saying that 80% of all messages are sent during daytime and should not be of cause for concern. But Snapshot won't say how much of the material is adult oriented. Some people in the know of things believe that Facebook's strategy in building a Snapshot like app is to rip uncomfortable competitors off their business, as is their normal strategy.

How exoplanets broke the rules of planet formation
by Claire O'Connell
Dr Elizabeth Tasker. Image: Ken Yan Photography
Astrophysicist Dr Elizabeth Tasker was in Ireland earlier this month for Space Week. She spoke to Dr Claire O'Connell about exoplanets, writing books and the quirks of translation.
How do planets form? Is there life outside our own solar system? And do Lego squirrels hang about on asteroids?
Those questions – well, the first two anyway – are among many that fascinate British astrophysicist and science communicator Dr Elizabeth Tasker, who was in Ireland earlier this month for Space Week. During her visit, she gave several talks on the topic of exoplanets – planets that orbit stars that are not our sun – which is one of the burgeoning fields in space research today.
But what about Lego squirrels? They emerged from Tasker's work at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). There, she is an associate professor who researches computer models of star and planet formation, and she also helps with the agency's global outreach.
"They put out information in Japanese and in English, and I help them to translate information for blogposts and Twitter, and I act as a go-between for media," explained Tasker. "It involves me using Google Translate, leaning on a solid knowledge of planetary science and having a good measure of common sense."

When working on outreach for JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission to land an explorer spacecraft on the Ryugu asteroid, the translation software described the mission as going to the asteroid to collect Lego squirrels. She eventually worked out that it was a quirk of translating from the Japanese word for 'regolith', the loose deposits on the surface of the asteroid.
"If we do find any Lego squirrels, there would be some questions," she laughed. "We would need a rethink of what we think we know about asteroids."
Exoplanet excitement
That said, there have been a few rethinks along the way in the field of exoplanets – not rethinks that involve finding cute, plastic woodland figures in space, but rethinks that involve exciting data gathered from beyond our solar system.
During her talks for Space Week with the public at Trinity College Dublin and with undergraduates at Dublin City University, Tasker encouraged everyone to think about how exoplanets 'broke the rules' of planet formation and led to new theories. "This field is new," she said. "These ideas are the current ones we have."
She then travelled to Cork Institute of Technology to speak at a careers roadshow held in conjunction with Blackrock Castle Observatory. There, Tasker spoke to the secondary school students about the search for life beyond our planet.
"This is going to be one of the hottest topics in their working lives, this will be their bread and butter, and they may well be the ones getting data that tell us whether there is life on exoplanets," she said.
Booking the future
Tasker found her way into science through her parents, both of whom are scientists, and she initially started her research career building computer models of how galaxies form. Then, she turned her attention to planet formation, and that included writing a book called The Planet Factory: Exoplanets and the Search for a Second Earth.
Tasker had been writing a blog and popular science articles – she won a Daily Telegraph Young Science Writer Award – and she was approached by an editor to write for Bloomsbury Sigma. "It was a case of opportunity knocks and I said yes," she said, but the change from writing articles to an entire book was not without its challenges.
"Up until then, the articles I had been writing were about 1,000 words. You could go for a long walk and hold the whole story in your head, then come back and write it. But then, I had to write an initial chapter, which was about 5,000 words. My confidence took a hit and it took a while to get into the pace of the writing."
But, with a deadline burning, she kept at it, and now she is a person with dyslexia who has written a popular science book. "When I was a child, my handwriting and spelling were terrible, impressively bad, but I became a book author," said Tasker.
"What you want to do will make you what you want to be."
Keep broad, dig deep
So, what advice does she have for people who want to work in the space sector? A passion, a broad interest and a deeper speciality form a good mix, she explained.
"Space science is really interdisciplinary and while you need a specialist area, maybe a focus on physics or chemistry or biology where you can go deep – you need to keep a broad interest," she said.
"Exoplanets used to be the jurisdiction of astrophysics but now we are about to get more atmospheric data from exoplanets and we need people who understand chemistry, climate science and geology. We need people who can work between disciplines."

Army Corporal Jacob Carver died in action in Afghanistan on November 13, 2010. He was from Freeman, Missouri. His funeral was held in Harrisonville, Missouri today.
….America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours….
Television satellite trucks in the background, parked in the lot at a neighboring church.
There were two helicopters from Kansas City television stations flying over the crowd. A reporter standing with a cameraman in the crowd along the highway smiled at me, probably spotting my identification, as I was taking photographs.
After taking photographs of the crowd near the church I walked back toward my parked car. About halfway there, at Elm and Mechanic, the Westboro group was surrounded by large crowd of people.
Two huge American flags were displayed at the corner of Elm and Mechanic (Highway 7), about a quarter mile from the church.
…There appeared to have been some shoving between some of the protesters and church members.
You can barely see the Westboro group's signs.
The funeral procession about a half mile from the church.
As we continued our conversation I stated, "Maybe the good thing is that good people showed up today to speak out." That's a start.
As the procession approached and passed a state trooper saluted and held his salute.
Thank you Harrisonville from Seattle, WA. You have all restored my faith in America with your actions with human decency over hate.

Luke has appeared on various TV shows including Russell Howard's Good News and Mock The Week and tonight you can see him in this 120 seater room.
We have Andy Stedman as our MC tonight. Andy mixes tender love songs (not) with sharp jokes and an ability to take the Mickey out of crowd members without them quite realising, or if they do they quite like it. Recently supported Bobby Davro on tour, very popular MC with our crowds.

With 4 floors, it boasts a brand new cocktail bar and three other bars to quench your thirst.

I got my Aristo from J-Spec in 2008 and love it. The guys were really helpful in finding me a car that was perfect. It arrived right on time, and I'm so proud of it. It's gorgeous.
My first J-Spec car was a Stagea that I sold for a profit, which allowed me to afford the Aristo.

Made by hand: local treasures of West Kowloon
Written by Localiiz
West Kowloon was the stomping grounds for a lot of master craftsmen back in the day, some of which survive even now. One can turn a corner and still see elderly artisans working copperware with their hands and keeping forgotten crafts alive alongside convenience stores and luxury brand shops.
Witness the masters at work as they ply their traditional crafts with well-practised hands and check in on skilled tailors, mahjong makers, and jade sellers to behold their labours of love, born of decades of experience. Discover Hong Kong's intangible heritage through the alleys and hidden doorways of West Kowloon, and try your hand at these time-honoured crafts through the workshops hosted by the masters themselves.
Lee Wo Steelyard
Start your trip down memory lane at Lee Wo Steelyard (利和秤號), the last remaining shop in Hong Kong selling steelyards and Chinese scales. In operation for over 90 years, Mrs Ho took over the shop from her father, Mr Wong, a master scales craftsman who began honing his skills at 13 years old. Although she is well into her 80s, she is determined to continue her father's legacy. She continues to sell handmade scales and weights, made with bone, wood, and steel, as well as abacuses. You can also come across aged customers visiting Mrs Ho's for repair services for old scales, as well as instruction manuals for more amateur customers. Invented around 200 BC, these scales are used in traditional settings, such as for weighing ingredients by Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners, in wet markets, by goldsmiths, and in restaurant kitchens.
Address: 345 Shanghai Street, Yau Ma Tei
Man Kee Chopping Board
Meander down Shanghai Street and you'll be greeted by a veritable tower of chopping boards, stacked neatly against the shopfront of Man Kee Chopping Board (萬記砧板). Man Kee has been a fixture on Shanghai Street for over 65 years, peddling heavy-duty chopping boards favoured by restaurants, meat mongers, and roasted meat shops. The store is now helmed by the second- and third-generation owners Mr and Mrs Au and their son Mike, who has always taken a keen interest in the family business, and feels the weight of his family legacy the most. Man Kee also sells various kitchenware in addition to chopping boards to keep up with the times.
Chan Chi Kee Cutlery Company
Chan Chi Kee (陳枝記) is another fixture of Shanghai Street, selling high-quality kitchen knives and other kitchen utensils. Knowledgeable and professional, long-time staff members who have worked for the Chan family for decades witnessed the store's transformation into the household name it is today. Chan Chi Kee's clients include Shangri-La and Disneyland, as well as Chinese restaurants all over the world.
Their knives are handmade through the combined effort of four craftsmen, though parts of the process have now been replaced by machinery. Chan Chi Kee's steel woks are also widely used in local restaurants for stir-frying, touted for their high conductivity and even heat distribution.
Address: G/F, 316-318 Shanghai Street, Yau Ma Tei

Kwok Kee Woodware Sculpture
A family business spanning six generations, Kwok Kee Woodware Sculpture specialises in hand-carved wooden crafts such as memorial tablets and custom statues, run by fifth-generation artisan Master Kwok. In the shop, there are hundreds of Chinese deity sculptures, with the gods of wealth being the most popular. You can find Master Kwok's handiwork in various temples and homes around the city, including Yau Ma Tei's Tin Hau Temple, Po Lin Monastery and Wong Tai Sin Temple. Master Kwok began honing his craft when he was just a teenager. After being in the industry for almost 50 years, he is now passing the torch to his nephew, who is eager to preserve this form of ancient Chinese craftsmanship. Master Kwok doesn't have other apprentices, but will occasionally participate in student showcases for those interested in learning about his craft.
Address: G/F, 158-160 Reclamation Street, Yau Ma Tei

Insider's tips
Ming Sang Steel Bamboo Receptacle
Bamboo steamers are a familiar fixture in Cantonese cuisine — head to Ming Sang Steel Bamboo Receptacle (明生鋼竹蒸籠廠) to see them in different shapes and sizes. The owner of the store, Master Lui Ming — who is more than 90 years old — began handmaking bamboo steamers when he was 32 years old and he still handmakes some of the steamers sold there. He pioneered the use of steel rims and joins in bamboo steamers, which resulted in a longer-lasting product that has gained widespread popularity in Chinese restaurants all over the world. The Shanghai Street store is now run by his son Lui Lok-koon, and Master Lui spends his days making custom orders in his Tuen Mun factory, and channelling his lifelong passion for his craft into dreaming up new inventions and perfecting his old ones.

Very Good Tailor
Behind a modest shopfront on bustling Temple Street, an almost-forgotten 'celebrity tailor' quietly carries on the traditions of bespoke garment-making. Founded in 1963, Very Good Tailor experienced its heydays during the 1970s and 1980s, seeing local celebrities such as Sam Hui and his band Lotus, Cantopop singer Leslie Cheung and Olympic athletes as its clientele.
Following a move from its original home on Public Square Street, the long-standing tailor's new premises nonetheless retains the humble fittings of a family business, lined with the same fabrics and tricks of the trade that reflect West Kowloon's unique artisanal heritage. Currently manned by the second-generation owner, Albert Chung, the historical outfitter maintains its decades-long commitment to crafting every stitch by hand with the help of master tailors, applying seasoned skills and knowledge in measuring and fitting to the clients' design preferences, all while offering top-end cashmere wool as the shop's fabric of choice.
With fast fashion sweeping the globe, the art of bespoke tailoring has faded into the background. Businesses like Very Good Tailor, which perpetuate historical skills and expertise passed down through generations, are now exceedingly rare. However, the creative spirit of the city's artisans remains, kept alive by dedicated shopkeepers like Chung, who safeguards his father's legacy and upholds the intrinsic value of handcrafted tailoring against the changing tides of time.
Address: G/F, 71 Public Square Street, Yau Ma Tei
Jade Market
Jade is believed to bestow good fortune and good health upon wearers, and makes for a popular gift — just be sure to ask for the meaning behind different stones and the significance of the design motifs! Following relocation, the Jade Market nonetheless boasts an impressive collection of stalls selling jade jewellery, trinkets, and sculptures. It came into being in 1984, and is beloved amongst locals and visitors alike.
Although Hong Kong's jade industry today is not as robust as it was in the 1950s, you can still get an impression of its heyday walking along the dim corridors of the market.
It also houses letter writers specialising in Chinese calligraphy, filling out tax return forms, and other writing services. This industry sprung into being when English was declared as an official language of Hong Kong and most of the population did not know how to read or write in English. While there are still a few of these tradespeople typing away, they are the last of their kind, made redundant in the digital age.
Koon Nam Wah
Opened in the 1920s, Chinese bridalwear store Koon Nam Wah (冠南華) specialises in intricately embroidered gowns and jackets, often bearing the auspicious dragon-and-phoenix pattern — regal motifs favoured by Chinese emperors and brides and grooms. Brought to life on silk with gold and silver thread, the patterns are sewn meticulously by hand over the course of weeks to a whole year.
Many local celebrities have enlisted the sartorial help of the shop's master tailors, including actress and diva Liza Wang and opera singer Law Kar-ying.

Cheung Shing Fans Factory
Opened in the 1950s, Cheung Shing Fans Factory (祥盛檀香扇莊) has been selling sandalwood fans and incense on Shanghai Street for over half a century. Once an important part of upper-class society and a status symbol for the well-heeled, sandalwood fans were as ornamental as they were functional. Cheung Shing originally set up shop on Shanghai Street to cater to the boat dwellers who would dock at the Yau Ma Tei Typhoon Shelter and come into town for supplies, purchasing everything from food to incense, which is used for safe passage ceremonies at Tin Hau temples and also on board their boats.
Mei Mei Wonbow
Mei Mei Wonbow sits comfortably on a swathe of Canton Road nicknamed 'Jade Street', a local hub for jewellers and jade craftsmen who, in addition to the nearby Jade Market, have been keeping the traditions of this ancient gemstone alive. With a history of nearly 50 years, the stalwart jade boutique has been passed down through the Hui family and is currently in the capable hands of second-generation owners, who continue to peddle an enchanting variety of handcrafted stones and jewellery made by the shop's seasoned craftspeople.
Despite the fading industry, Mei Mei Wonbow remains faithful to the authentic artistry of jade jewellery, with family members and in-house staff handling every painstaking step of the manufacturing process, from purchasing raw stones to shaping, polishing, and selling the final products, and even collaborating with independent designers to create original jewellery designs. Customers are also welcome to bring their own raw jade to the shop for machine processing.
Whether it's Chinese bracelets or Western cross pendants, Mei Mei Wonbow continually reinvents its inventory to capture both timeless and modern designs while staying true to jade's spiritual connotations of wisdom and longevity. The shop also organises occasional educational workshops to teach students and teenagers the esoteric knowledge of gemology and how to distinguish the authenticity of each jade stone, hoping to inspire a younger generation to take an interest in jade craftsmanship and carry on this industry's legacy.

Kang Ming Picture Frame and Glass
Kang Ming Picture Frame and Glass is a century-old business on Shanghai Street. In fact, its well-preserved signboard — which proclaims the shop's name — is a relic that is around 100 years old!
Currently, the business is manned by Chan Hon-hing, who has been learning the ropes from his father since he was a child and now remains as the custodian of his family trade. He keeps his heritage close to him inside the shop, with photos on the wall proudly displaying his family history. Notably, the Chan family was included in a photo series called Hong Kong Old Shops, and the portrait was later auctioned off at Sotheby's Hong Kong in 2009, with proceeds from the auction going towards a local non-profit organisation that protects traditional Hong Kong heritage and culture.
Specialising in exquisite picture frames, Kang Ming keeps pace with modern techniques in glass craftsmanship, all the while keeping the meticulous artisan spirit of handcrafted frame-making embodied within its exacting approach. Its machine-cut frames merge technical mastery with aesthetic tradition, some edged with elaborate floral patterns to evoke classic design sensibilities, and Kang Ming's so-called 'high-definition glass' is famous for its non-reflectivity and high transparency, presenting the artwork displayed inside with increased clarity.
Address: G/F, 111 Shanghai Street, Yau Ma Tei
Sindart
Miru Wong is the third-generation owner to run Sindart (先達商店), a small store founded in 1958 that sells traditional embroidered Chinese footwear. These silk-brocade slippers were popular amongst ladies of the upper and middle class, who wore them inside their homes.
She began practicing embroidery with her grandmother in primary school, and learnt how to make shoes from her grandfather in high school. Completely handmade, the traditional designs of Sindart's slippers are infused with modern elements, incorporating animal motifs such as pandas and owls and non-traditional flora like camellia and cherry blossom. Apart from slippers, Sindart also offers flats and heels to be worn outside of the house, as well as accessories and handbags. Miru takes this traditional craft to the next level by incorporating new elements into the product while staying true to its roots.
Address: Shop 16-17, 1/F, Bowring Commercial Centre, 150-164 Woo Sung Street, Jordan
Shanghai Baoxing Qipao
Just next door is Shanghai Baoxing Qipao (上海寶星時裝祺袍), where Master Yan patiently handmakes qipaos and Chinese cotton jackets, and has been doing so for over 65 years. All of Master Yan's work is made to measure, so don't expect to purchase ready-to-wear stock from his store. He has made qipaos for Miss Hong Kong contestants as well as celebrities like Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung, and Michelle Yeoh, and he was responsible for much of the wardrobe of actresses in Wong Kar-wai films. To preserve this invaluable part of Chinese history, Master Yan hosts classes with fashion and design students on the art of qipao making.

Police in Indonesia have apologised for using a live snake to interrogate a suspected thief after a video of the incident was shared widely online.
Footage shows the man screaming in terror as his interrogator laughs and repeatedly pushes the reptile's head into his face.
Veronica Koman, a human rights lawyer in Papua, said the interrogation methods violated police policies as well as several laws.
She said there had been several reports of police and the military using snakes to terrorise Papuan detainees.
Sam Lokon, a member of the West Papua National Committee, which advocates independence from Indonesia, was put in a cell with a snake and also beaten after being arrested in January, Ms Koman claimed.
The footage shows the dark brown snake, at least 2m long, wrapped around the handcuffed suspect's neck and waist. An officer is seen pushing its head into the man's face as he becomes increasingly hysterical.
Jayawijaya police chief Tonny Ananda Swadaya said in a statement the officers had been given ethics training and moved to other locations.

Q: Alternative to ClickOnce So I have been looking around for a way to have a window form application (c#) check for an update each time it's launched and even send a message to an active user that an update is required. This entire program will be ran in a S:\ (shared) folder. I know some one else recommend click once but everything I can find in it is from Visual Studio 2005 and well that's out dated. Anybody know a different one?

A: Try https://github.com/squirrel/squirrel.windows
And intro to this on dotnetconf 2015: https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/dotnetConf/2015/Squirrel-for-Windows-installing-NET-apps-the-way-it-should-be

A: You could give this a try https://simpldeploy.com
It's a bit different to squirrel, it's integrated into VS and does not require scripting altough it can be automated with the simplDeploy.packager.exe found in the extensions install dir.

The PLA Strategic Support Force (PLASSF) has been a puzzle and apparent paradox over the first three years of its development. Established on December 31, 2015, this new force has been designed to leverage synergies and facilitate integration across Chinese capabilities for space, cyberspace, and the electromagnetic spectrum. In any future conflict scenario, the Strategic Support Force to the PLA's plans to fight and win "informatized" warfare. The PLASSF's Space Systems Department information support and intelligence for the PLA's newly established theater commands, thus enabling future joint operations and power projection. At the same time, the PLASSF contributes to the PLA's to strategic deterrence, providing capabilities that can complement its existing arsenal. The Network Systems Department has consolidated cyber, electronic, and psychological warfare capabilities, which appear to be structured through bases that correspond with the five theater commands. After the past three years, such assessments about its force structure and missions with greater confidence, and the PLASSF's construction appears to be advancing considerably, though a number of uncertainties remain.
The PLASSF's initial progress in its development can be evaluated partly through its own training activities and engagement in a number of joint training exercises. As a new force, the PLASSF new approaches, equipment, and even environments for training, yet has already started to contribute to the PLA's "actual combat" training. For instance, there was PLASSF in the Stride series of joint training exercises between July and September 2016. The PLASSF , along with other "new-type" forces, to Stride at the Zhurihe training base in September 2017, reportedly "boosting the independent reconnaissance and multi-domain and dimension battlefield perception capabilities" for units participating, while creating an "informatized battlefield environment with satellites." In its 2018 training, the PLASSF upon high standards and consistency between training and actual combat missions, in rapid response drills. In an exercise in May, one PLASSF department such tasks as rapid transfer of a command post base, and forces tested their capability for communications confidentiality and assurance. Even as the Strategic Support Force becomes more active in such exercises, it may continue to confront challenges in training and the operationalization of its space and cyber capabilities in support of joint operations.
Notably, the PLASSF has also contributed to the PLA's confrontation training, often acting as or supporting a "blue force" that simulates a potential adversary in order to enhance realism. For example, in past Stride exercises, the PLASSF capabilities for electronic warfare and psychological operations. In May 2018, one PLASSF base as a blue force in a training exercise with a brigade from the 83rd Group Army that involved intense electromagnetic confrontation. Similarly, in October 2018, one PLASSF base in confrontation training with a Central Theater Command Army brigade, which reportedly involved reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, deception and counter-deception, and countermeasures in a complex electromagnetic environment. Acting as a blue force, the PLASSF jamming and interference against the "red force." The PLASSF's experience in this 'force-on-force' training may contribute to its own combat capabilities, while also continuing to prepare the PLA for the challenges of a future battlefield on which the spectrum will be highly contested.
At three, the Strategic Support Force is still in an early stage of its construction, which is playing out against the backdrop of historic and often highly disruptive military reforms. Looking forward, certain unanswered questions remain regarding the future direction of its force development.
How far has the PLASSF progressed in the creation of its own doctrine and concepts of operations?
As the PLA of revising its fifth-generation of operational regulations (作战条令), the PLASSF may be developing its own campaign guidelines (战役纲要) to direct its approach to primary combat missions of space and information operations. Potentially, its role may also be delineated in new joint campaign guidelines and perhaps a number of combat regulations (战斗条令). In the process, the PLASSF will have to devise new tactics, theories, and . It will also be critical for the Strategic Support Force to create and improve mechanisms for coordination and integration in support of the PLA's services and theater commands, which also possess their own cyber and electronic countermeasures capabilities.
How successful will the PLASSF be in recruiting top talent for highly technical missions, and how rapidly will it grow in size and capability?
As a new force, the PLASSF can draw upon the existing human capital ecosystems from the elements of the former General Staff Department and General Armaments Department of which it is primarily composed, but its future growth and capabilities will depend upon its success in talent recruitment and development. So far, the PLASSF agreements for strategic cooperation with at least nine different universities and companies that will facilitate academic exchanges, training, and talent selection. At present, the PLASSF is also recruiting hundreds of for specialties ranging from cyber defense to "aerospace artificial intelligence." Meanwhile, the quality of education at the PLASSF's Information Engineering University and Aerospace Engineering University will be critical to its cultivation of personnel for command and technical career tracks.
Will the Strategic Support Force's structure remain in its current configuration for the long term, or will it continue to evolve in the years to come?
There is a possibility the PLASSF could separate into two distinct services, a "Space Force" and "Cyber Force," based on its primary operational components, the Space Systems Department and Network Systems Department. Perhaps an early indicator of the potential for such a split is that the Network and Space Systems Departments, which both appear to be theater command deputy-leader grade organizations, each possess their own headquarters departments, seemingly indicating the capability to function autonomously. At this point, the PLASSF's approach to command, control, and coordination across these departments remains unclear, which raises the question of whether the current structure will facilitate new synergies and or create new organizational impediments to it.
The Strategic Support Force's future trajectory will be a critical bellwether of the PLA's progress towards fulfilling its ambition of emerging as a "world-class" military by mid-century. In this regard, the PLASSF's progress and continued development merit further analytical attention in the years to come.

Can databases help us to see more like God sees?
Around the time we got all the world's data in the palm of our hand, American missions agencies stopped trusting a lot of it.
Meanwhile, the leaders of some of the largest missionary organizations were coming to new conclusions about which metrics were useful in their operations and which were, perhaps, even suspect. As global networks of ministry partners grew increasingly complex, it was getting difficult to peer through the thickening web and pinpoint which conversions, baptisms, and church plants could be chalked up to North American workers. Who got credit for a baptism when everyone had a foot in the water?
Consequently, groups including the International Mission Board ended their decades-long collection of such data. "This is a bunch of hooey," one missions executive told CT about the numbers his organization was using.
Nearly a decade later, a resurgence of data-driven missions may be afoot. But this time the approach is being re-tooled, as Kate Shellnutt reports in our cover story. One key shift: Where once the data were used mostly to demonstrate mission effectiveness in newsletters, now the data are shaping the mission itself, guiding organizations to specific villages and college campuses and congregations where efforts will yield the most fruit.

Dynavax Technologies Corporation has announced that the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) established for Dynavax's two ongoing Phase 3 trials for HEPLISAV™ has completed its planned safety assessments. The DSMB determined that the studies may continue without protocol modification, and that no other formal meetings of the DSMB are required.
Tyler Martin, M.D., President and Chief Medical Officer, commented, "This DSMB review is an important milestone for our Phase 3 program. All subjects in our large safety and lot-to-lot consistency trial randomized to HEPLISAV are now eight months past their last dose. It would be unlikely to see a serious adverse event related to HEPLISAV at this time. Based on our progress, we look forward to completing the trials as planned and filing our BLA by the end of 2011."
The DSMB reviewed safety data from two ongoing multi-center Phase 3 trials evaluating HEPLISAV, the first a lot-to-lot consistency trial in adults 40 years and older, and the second a trial in chronic kidney disease patients.
The DSMB is comprised of an independent group of medical experts who are responsible for reviewing and evaluating subject safety data at regular intervals during the ongoing trials.
