Q: Keyboard not working on RDP session After connecting to remote session on RDP my keyboard is not working on the remote machine. I've tried every solution I've found including: disabling filter keys in Ease of Access panel, setting different keyboard options on RDP local resources, disabled "keyboard guard" on our antivirus software etc. I have no more ideas what could cause the problem. Sometimes rebooting the remote PC helps but the issue keeps coming back.
remote PC runs Windows 10 Pro, joined to a domain. I've tried to establish RDP from three different machines & versions of Windows (server, 7, 10) but none of them works.
any ideas?

Past Music
WATERSAW is a group of musicians from the San Francisco Bay Area. They are inspired to write music for modern dance choreography, film scores, or in conjunction with other art forms.
Creating layers of sound through loopers (recording devices), their music utilizes a modern minimalism approach. The rumination of textures, rhythms, or root chords creates a simple foundation from which to build melodic and rhythmic transformations.
WaterSaw's work is evocative and strives to blend audience and artist, so that the audience becomes an extension of the music.
The group has received an Isadora Duncan Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music/Sound/Text.
WaterSaw is: Cello, bass, guitar, Ipad, percussion, drums, and female vocals.

The hanging sword finally seems to have fallen on India; at least that is what America under Trump believes. On March 4, it's trade representative announced the intention of the US Government to withdraw India from the list of trade beneficiaries (developing countries) under GSP (Generalized System of Preferences) program. While this might appear to have come as a jolt, actually there was more than a hint from the American side since last November. At that time trade benefits on 50 items were withdrawn.
Though the Indian side has tried to downplay the impact it does have a significant effect on bilateral trade and more importantly on trade relations between our two countries. Putting a brave front, India has said that GSP provided no more than US $190 million in benefits to exporters. However, it impacts trade worth nearly US $ 5.66 billion covering about 3,500 product lines and amounting to 11 to 12 per cent of total exports to the US.
Most of these products are produced and exported by SME's in India. Now, if the privilege is no more available then we will lose out to competitors such as Mexico which have free trade agreements with the US.
This will be a double whammy. On the one hand, our exports take a hit at a time when in real terms exports are flat, that is, not growing over the last few years. On the other, this will mean job losses-direct and indirect. Again at a time, when there is widespread criticism of this government that it has not been able to kick start the economy and generate enough jobs for it's educated youth population. According to data released by CMIE very recently, unemployment was 7.2 per cent in Feb. the highest in several years. The NSO data given out earlier too corroborated the same line of thought.
The reason cited by the US for it's trade sanction is that India has failed to render reciprocal market access to numerous products and sectors of U.S. Now this is a specious argument; under WTO rules, for schemes such as GSP of US there is no requirement of reciprocity. As such India is not bound to give market access to goods and services of U.S. However, in practice, it does not work in this manner. President Trump is a transactional person and the Chinese, after all the talks of trade wars, have probably learnt to deal with him.
It is not that India has not tried. It has reduced duties on expensive motor bikes from US by 50 per cent. But, as has been pointed out, it is still at a high of 50 per cent compared with a virtual free pass for Indian made motor bikes in US. The US does not realize that for several expensive American goods, market in India is limited and the elite who buy them are not bothered about having to pay higher duties. So, it's a source of revenue to the Government. Same is the case with American whiskies. Similarly it is not right to deny access to US dairy products on the basis of religious feelings. But India is well within it's right if allowing such access costs several livelihoods and incomes in India.
Yet, India is being perceived as becoming protectionist. The new e-commerce policy is a case in point. The changes discourage foreign investors without offering tangible benefits or protection to small domestic producers. It is distorting and limits competition.
It is interesting to see why the US has chosen now to terminate benefits accruing to specified Indian exporters. One, under the current security environment, the US knows that India needs it's backing fully and unconditionally. India cannot afford to rub US on the wrong side. Second, chances of settling trade woes of US with China have brightened. The US has measly US $23 billion trade deficit with India whereas with China it is a huge US $323 billion! If it can bring China to the negotiating table and extract concessions that it wants, then it can do the same with India. China is close to catching up with US on science and technology in which the later has reigned supreme for decades, if not centuries.
There is a still a window for negotiation with the US. The decision to revoke beneficiary status will come in to effect only after two months. We need to adopt a two pronged approach. One, to negotiate with the US in a spirit of give and take. Second, is to improve our own competitiveness. China's perceptible decline of manufacturing prowess will not automatically flow to India. Turkey, Vietnam, to name only two, have already seized the initiative and their exports are rising. Chief Economic Advisor Subramanian has rightly called for urgent reforms in labour, land and financial sector. Equally important are reforms in education, without which manpower competitiveness will remain deficient.

Democrat John Walsh released a campaign ad in February.
This week Walsh was caught plagiarizing his Army War College thesis.
U.S. Senator John Walsh of Montana is facing allegations of plagiarism that may make his bid for election even more difficult.
Walsh's 2007 master's thesis from the Army War College contained significant sections that appeared to be copied from other sources without attribution, the New York Times reported today.
The allegations became public just as Senate Democrats gave the legislative spotlight to Walsh, one of the chamber's most vulnerable incumbents. Lawmakers today advanced and are now debating a bill he sponsored to give tax breaks to companies relocating jobs to the U.S. from other countries.
Walsh, a Democrat, took office earlier this year as he replaced Max Baucus, the 35-year Senate veteran who became ambassador to China. Walsh is running for election in November against Representative Steve Daines in a state that President Barack Obama lost twice.

HHS Updates Guide to Privacy and Security of Electronic Health Information
By: Arieanna Schweber | 4/22/2015
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), tasked with coordinating the implementation and use of health information technology and the electronic exchange of health information, just re-released its "Guide to Privacy and Security of Electronic Health Information." This guide replaces the previous version, which was published in 2011.
The new Guide provides additional detail on cybersecurity with practical examples of how to maintain patient privacy and data security. Chief Privacy Officer Lucia Savage notes that the new Guide gives insight into how the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) supports interoperable exchange of information for health. In her blog post announcing the new Guide, Lucia Savage notes:
"This Guide has been updated to bring new, practical information about privacy and security to small and medium-sized provider practices, health , health IT, other information technology professionals, and the public at large, many of whom may be considered Business Associates."
Inclusions in the new Guide to Privacy and Security of Electronic Health Information include:
Updated information on cybersecurity for healthcare organizations
Patient access through Certified Electronic Health Record Technology (CEHRT)
Electronic Health Record (EHR) technology features available under the 2014 Edition Certification rule
Examples of HIPAA in action, for example:
Definition of who is, and is not, a Business Associate
When a covered entity is permitted to exchange information about a treatment, payment or healthcare operation without sign-off
Disclosure of health information to a third party
Chapter 6 of the Guide, which is also available as a stand-alone file, includes a sample 7-step approach for implementing a security management process. This guide includes information to help healthcare organizations shift to a security-aware culture, supported by technology and processes. To learn more about how to be proactive in healthcare security, moving beyond best practices to ensure data security, we encourage you to visit our website or read our whitepaper, The Cost of a Data Breach: Healthcare Settlements Involving Lost or Stolen Devices.

India's Disappearing Trades

Supranav Dash recalls how, when he was growing up in Kolkata, India, his grandfather had a barber come to his home every morning to give him a shave. "I was 5 or 6, and I thought this act of shaving was brutal and that my grandfather was suffering. So I'd sneak up behind this barber and soak his dhoti with a cup of water," Dash says with a laugh. "He would plead with me not to do that because he had to work in that outfit until it dried. Later I became his friend, and he would allow me to hold his shaving brush and soap while he gave my grandfather a shave."
This bonding experience gave Dash, now 35, a strong sense of empathy with the working-class people in India's striated caste system. "We were middle class," Dash says. "My father is a banker. I was expected to become a doctor or an engineer." Dash studied science and, later, accountancy at Calcutta University before turning to his real passion, art. "I was a painter, but I needed a stable income."
He took up the camera, and after assisting several commercial photographers, Dash set up shop for himself in Mumbai, shooting editorial and fashion work—lucrative but not fulfilling. "I felt I got stuck," he says. "I was missing the human touch. It was becoming artificial: the perfect image of beauty and all that. I needed something more."
In 2009 Dash entered the School of Visual Arts in New York City; when it came time for an in-depth thesis project, he was drawn home. "I'm very grounded in India," he says. On return visits during breaks from school, he began shooting the working-class people he had empathized with in his youth.
The resulting series, Marginal Trades, portrays workers doing jobs that pay meager wages and are in danger of disappearing in the modern marketplace. "They never changed or updated themselves, and then suddenly with all this globalization their work is becoming obsolete," Dash says. "I wanted to preserve this part of the culture for posterity."
Aesthetically, Dash sought to emulate historic photographers whose work he'd discovered, including Irving Penn's 1950s series Small Trades and the 19th-century portraits of British photographers John W. Kaye and John F. Watson.
"This pair did ethnographic studies of tribes in India," Dash says, "and they used backdrops and created albumen prints." The work inspired Dash to depict his subjects with backdrops in makeshift studio settings. "If I extract the professionals, I can give more focus to who they are—the people, the portraits, the trades—rather than just taking snapshots."
Shooting digitally in medium format, Dash makes color portraits and often converts them to black and white in post. At the urging of his SVA classmates, Dash printed one installment of his series in color, but he prefers monochrome, and he's working toward a book project with his options open. "Everything is shot keeping the grayscale in mind," he says. "We have the color information to go back to if we need it."
He'd really like to show this work in India. "They'll only take notice if I get recognition for it in the West," he says. "But I'm documenting what may soon be gone. I just want to create some awareness."

If snow wasn't enough, the UK's latest storm dubbed Storm Emma, is arriving towards the end of the week.
The cold conditions will sweep across the county and a severe weather warning has been issued by the Met Office, predicting arctic temperatures and blizzards.
In some areas of Essex there are yellow warnings in place, whereas others have been increased to an amber warning, until Wednesday night (February 28).
It is expected to drop to -2C this week, with the temperature feeling more like it is -7C outside.
The Met Office has now predicted harsher weather arriving to the county, with the Siberian Storm Emma rolling in on Thursday and into Friday, reports Cornwall Live.
The conditions will include bitterly cold winds, blizzards, snowfall and even thunder and lightning.
Forecaster Grahame Madge for the Met Office said: "The weather system heading towards us from the Atlantic is coming in over France and Portugal.
"It would normally be rain but because of the cold temperatures with us at the moment it is likely to be snow for much of the area.
Snow showers are expected to fall for two hours from 5pm today (February 26), with a freezing 0C temperature which will feel more like -5C.
It is set to snow from 1am tomorrow morning (February 27), until 4am, with temperatures as low as -2.
The weather system is expected to move slowly north through Thursday into Friday and has potential to produce more snow.
Around 5-10cm of powdery snow could accumulate and settle on the ground, with the possibility increasing to 15cm in some areas throughout Tuesday morning.
Other nearby locations may see 1-3cms of snow on the ground.
The Met Office has warned there may be travel delays on roads, railways and air travel, and to plan ahead of your journey.
Furthermore, some rural communities may experience power cuts and problems using their mobile phones.

Without a global revolution in the sphere of human consciousness nothing will change for the better in the sphere of our being as humans and the catastrophe toward which the world is headed – whether it be ecological, social, demographic or a general breakdown of civilization – will be unavoidable.
Havel, address to the United States Congress, Washington, February 1990
What is needed now is a kind of university that has never existed before.... I propose that we can and should remake the university so that it becomes an intentional force for good in the world. Such a project runs counter to the kind of academic analysis that is modelled in the university today, for it is a project informed by care and passion and developed from within a distinct philosophical commitment and political interpretation.
Marcus P. Ford
We believe the next transformation will give rise to the integrative university or transversity representing the next stage in evolution from the university and multiversity. The transversity is a new institution that will be multi–dimensionally connected not only within and across disciplines, but across cultural boundaries and across barriers to the broader society that separate it from primary education, industry, business, government and other institutions. These integrative universities will become living institutions in which organizational structure and patterns of behavior provide permeable boundaries to the outside community with fluid internal boundaries that allow people and resources to coalesce around prominent issues, opportunities, and challenges. These changes will enhance the exchange of research expertise and practical knowledge between universities and society. D. K. Scott
In the coming century, there will be an urgent need for scholars who go beyond the isolated facts; who make connections across the disciplines; and who begin to discover a more coherent view of knowledge and a more integrated, more authentic view of life the academy must become a more vigorous partner in the search for answers to our most pressing social, civic, economic, and moral problems and must reaffirm its historic commitment to what I … call … the scholarship of engagement.
Ernest Boyer
This revolution —intellectual, institutional and cultural— if it ever comes about, would be comparable in its long-term impact to that of the Renaissance, the scientific revolution, or the Enlightenment. The outcome would be traditions and institutions of learning rationally designed to help us acquire wisdom. There are a few scattered signs that this intellectual revolution, from knowledge to wisdom, is already under way. It will need, however, much wider cooperative support—from scientists, scholars, students, research councils, university administrators, vice chancellors, teachers, the media and the general public— if it is to become anything more than what it is at present, a fragmentary and often impotent movement of protest and opposition, often at odds with itself, exercising little influence on the main body of academic work. I can hardly imagine any more important work for anyone associated with academia than, in teaching, learning and research, to help comparable in its long-term impact to that of the Renaissance, the scientific revolution, or the Enlightenment.

Dryland management regimes alter forest habitats and understory arthropod communities
Johnson, Scott N., Lopaticki, Goran, Aslam, T.J. et al. (6 more authors) (2018) Dryland management regimes alter forest habitats and understory arthropod communities. Annals of applied biology. ISSN 0003-4746
Dryland forests, those characterised as having low precipitation and soil nutrients, account for over a quarter of forests globally. Increasing their productivity often relies on irrigation and fertilisation, but the impacts on the wider habitat are largely unknown. Understory invertebrates, in particular, play key roles in forest systems (e.g. nutrient cycling), but their responses to dryland forest management practices are untested. We investigated the impacts of irrigation, fertilisation and a combination of both on soil chemistry, understory vegetation, tree growth and understory arthropod communities in a Eucalyptus plantation to establish linkages between dryland management and ecosystem responses. Fertilisation increased all soil nutrients (N, NO3N, P and K) with similar effects on the chemical composition of understory grasses. Fertilisation also caused declines in foliar silicon concentrations, an important herbivore defence in grasses. Irrigation increased growth of both understory plants (+90%) and trees (+68%). Irrigation increased the abundance of ground‐dwelling arthropods by over 480% relative to control plots, but depressed higher level taxon arthropod diversity by 15%, declining by a further 7% (−22%) in combined treatment plots. Irrigation also caused a surge in the abundance of Collembola (+1300%) and Isopoda (+323%). Fertilisation drove increases in the abundance of Isopoda (+196%) and Diptera (+63%), whereas fertilisation combined with irrigation increased populations of Thysanoptera (+166%) and Acarina (+328%). Airborne arthropods were less affected, but fertilisation increased the abundance of Apocrita (+95%) and depressed populations of Thysanoptera (−77%). Diptera abundance was positively related to understory vegetation growth, whereas the abundance of other groups (Collembola, Isopoda, Thysanoptera and Acarina) correlated positively with tree growth. We proposed that the large increases in populations of key detritivores, Collembola and Isopoda, were linked to increased leaf litter from enhanced tree growth in irrigated and combined treatment plots. Our findings suggest that dryland management can increase both plant productivity and abundance of arthropods, but cause arthropod diversity at the higher taxon level to decline overall.

Besides practices and games, how does a young soccer athlete improve their skills on the ball and increase their awareness about the game of soccer?
First, we start with balance. Most of the time, you can find these young soccer enthusiasts falling over the ball or even a rough patch of grass on the pitch. They seem to fall a few times a game and some fall more than that. Are they clumsy? Will they grow out it?
As their bodies are growing, their minds are changing also and attempting to relay the new messages to their developing musculoskeletal system. Incorporating fun balance drills into the soccer practices or at home can go a long way and be fun for the athletes to do.
1) Start off with a walk down a chalk line on the field or sidewalk making sure that both feet land on the line on each step. Then run on the line making sure both feet always land on the line.
2) Balance on one leg on the chalk line for 10 seconds each leg with their eyes open. To make it more difficult, balance longer leading to 20 seconds or have them close their eyes.
3) Balance on one foot and throw the soccer ball at them to catch. Having them catch the soccer ball improves their coordination.
Second, incorporate the balance into agility drills. The young soccer athletes need to be quicker on their feet so they can learn to keep their stability when they get the ball or come into a tackle with another player. Having quicker feet will not only allow them to move faster on the field but it will help them to avoid dangerous situations where they could get hurt.
4) Hop on both feet forward and backwards over the chalk line for 15 – 20 seconds. Then, switch to hopping over the line in a side-to-side direction.
5) Progress to using the feet separately to switch across the chalk line in forward/backward and side-to-side directions.
6) Advanced exercises include doing the drills while throwing the soccer ball at them to catch or putting up a number of fingers on your hand that they have to say out loud.
7) Now merge the agility onto the ball using skill drills such as: tip/taps, bells, step-overs, and scissors.
There are an infinite number of exercises that the youth athletes could do to work on their balance, agility, and have fun. Using the soccer ball is always fun for the athletes but you could also use cones, chalk lines, and hurdles to make the drills different.

Award-wining journalist Marvin Kalb comes to the club to discuss his latest book, Imperial Gamble: Putin, Ukraine, and the New Cold War. Mr. Kalb is presently senior advisor to the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. In his long and distinguished career with CBS and NBC, he served as Moscow correspondent, chief diplomatic correspondent, and moderator of Meet the Press.
In Imperial Gamble, Mr. Kalb examines how Putin reached the conclusion that opposition in Ukraine constituted an existential threat to Russia by taking a critical look at the recent political history of post-Soviet Russia. The book also journeys deep into Russian and Ukrainian history to explain what keeps the two countries together and yet, at the same time, drives them apart.
This book will be available for purchase and signing.

Unseen Royal Portraits Will Go On Display At Buckingham Palace This Summer
Oil sketches of Prince William and Prince Harry will be exhibited publicly for the first time
By Harper's BAZAAR Staff
The Prince of Wales is to lend some of his cherished family portraits to a special exhibition marking his 70th birthday, including some never-before-seen sketches from his personal art collection.
Over 100 works of art will go on display at the Prince & Patron show at Buckingham Palace this summer. The hand-picked selection features portraits of his sons, William and Harry, which will go on public view for the first time.

The two oil sketches, painted by Nicky Philipps in 2009, depict the brothers wearing their Blues and Royals Household Cavalry regimental uniform and usually hang in Highgrove, Charles' private residence in Gloucestershire.

A never-before-seen pencil sketch of the Duke of Edinburgh will also be shown at the Palace. The final version, completed by Bryan Organ in 1983, currently hangs in the National Portrait Gallery.
A 1973 oil sketch by Michael Noakes of the Queen Mother is another personal image chosen by Charles. It was painted to mark the silver wedding anniversary of the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh in 1972 and shows the Queen Mother wearing Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee brooch.
"I acquired it from the artist as I felt it brilliantly captured her likeness and, above all, reminds me of the essence of her personality," Charles says in a recorded message for visitors to the exhibition. "I admire it often when in residence at Clarence House."
The exhibition will be open from Saturday, 21 July to Sunday, 30 September as part of the Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace. The annual event allows visitors to see 19 State Rooms, which provide the setting for ceremonial occasions and official entertaining, along with a walk through the stunning Palace garden.

Eight combat-ready North Korean divisions, led by 120 Soviet T34 medium tanks and extensive mobile artillery, crushed the four combat-ready ROK infantry divisions, and butchered a path down the peninsula until they were stopped at the Pusan Perimeter.
In the early fighting, ROK wounded could often be evacuated to military hospitals by rail, as these soldiers were. Later, when most of the fighting was in mountains and ridges, whether while still engaging in battle by maneouver or in the eventual trench warfare, helicopters were commonly deployed.
These lightly armed troops, after the main ROK forces were trapped and destroyed by the North Korean surprise attack north of the Han, did the best they could.

Network behavior anomaly detection (NBAD) is a security technique that provides network security threat detection. It is a complementary technology to systems that detect security threats based on packet signatures.

NBAD is the continuous monitoring of a network for unusual events or trends. NBAD is an integral part of network behavior analysis (NBA), which offers security in addition to that provided by traditional anti-threat applications such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, antivirus software and spyware-detection software.

Description
Most security monitoring systems utilize a signature-based approach to detect threats. They generally monitor packets on the network and look for patterns in the packets which match their database of signatures representing pre-identified known security threats. NBAD-based systems are particularly helpful in detecting security threat vectors in two instances where signature-based systems cannot: (i) new zero-day attacks, and (ii) when the threat traffic is encrypted such as the command and control channel for certain Botnets.

An NBAD program tracks critical network characteristics in real time and generates an alarm if a strange event or trend is detected that could indicate the presence of a threat. Large-scale examples of such characteristics include traffic volume, bandwidth use and protocol use.

NBAD solutions can also monitor the behavior of individual network subscribers. In order for NBAD to be optimally effective, a baseline of normal network or user behavior must be established over a period of time. Once certain parameters have been defined as normal, any departure from one or more of them is flagged as anomalous.

NBAD technology/techniques are applied in a number of network and security monitoring domains including: (i) Log analysis (ii) Packet inspection systems (iii) Flow monitoring systems and (iv) Route analytics.

NBAD has also been described as outlier detection, novelty detection, deviation detection and exception mining.

NASA's second manned mission launched exactly 45 years ago, in 1968. Apollo 8, its crew being made up of Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot Jim Lovell and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders, was the first manned mission orbiting the Moon. A pivotal milestone in U.S. President JFK's plans to have a man walk on the surface of the Moon before the end of the decade (which was accomplished with Apollo 11 only seven months later), it took the crew three days to travel there. They orbited it ten times (each orbit taking around two hours) and came as close as 70 miles from its surface, before setting on a course for Earth. It was also the first time manned mission using the enormous Saturn V rocket as you can see in below's video.
Nearly two decades later, another notable event took place… On December 21, 1987, three Soviet cosmonauts started their record-long space trip on board the Mir space station. Captain Vladimir Titov, Onboard Engineer Musa Manarov and researcher Anatoly Levchenko were taken to the Mir by the Soyuz TM-4 space craft. While Levchenko returned earlier, both Titov and Manarov spent just shy of 366 days (365 days, 22 hours and 39 minutes) onboard of the Mir space station. It was only upon the couple's return that they were informed of Levchenko's passing away in the meantime. Titov was later awarded the Order of Lenin, and the Golden Star Order for successfully completing the mission he was in command of.

"How Design for One Turns Into Design for All"
The covers are among the most striking things in the show: intricately patterned, beautifully designed, like snap-on tattoos.
"We want an 18-year-old girl to be able to afford our cover and feel fabulous. Part of the annoyance of being an amputee is that in public people are always seeing prostheses and asking the amputees to explain what happened, so they're constantly made to relive trauma. Our desire is that people see these covers and say, 'cool legs,' like 'cool boots.'"
Nobody wants pity, Ms. Wanner added: "We all want the same thing. We all want to feel amazing."
