In normal, bitcoin transactions, the miners are responsible for the process of going through and double checking that the receipt is being backed up by a valid blockchain (again, our guide is great for getting anyone up to speed on all the need-to-know lingo). Bitcoin 's blockchain is public. Cryptocurrency can be volatile, growing and plummeting in terms of value every day. Here's a quick rundown on what the hell bitcoin actually. They could also block others' transactions. This chain of blocks is the public ledger, and its extreme complexity is what currently protects transactions. Getty Images, is bitcoin infinite?
At that point, bitcoin will stop being released. Mining The process that maintains this trustless, public ledger is known as mining. Instead the previous block's hash appears within the new block. ) It does so by throwing miners a curve ball their hash must be below a certain target.
For you to receive bitcoin, it's enough for the sender to know your address. A 2008 paper by a person or people calling themselves. Fortunately, leaving the economic debates aside, it's pretty easy to answer what bitcoin actually is software. Bitcoin has made that unnecessary, however. Combining "proof of work " with other cryptographic techniques was Satoshi's breakthrough. So, get your bitcoin and head to the Digital Wild West. Bitcoin 's software adjusts the difficulty miners face in order to limit the network to one new, 1-megabyte block of transactions every 10 minutes. To anyone on the outside, those words make no sense. How does bitcoin work? It was invented to be unhackable, untraceable, and safe for investors. If a pool exceeds 50 of the network's mining power, its members could potentially spend geld verdienen mit autohandel coins, reverse the transactions, and spend them again.
It is almost impossible to earn many bitcoins, and mining requires large investments in the purchase of miners and related equipment, experience in setting up this equipment, time, electricity, and constant monitoring of the datacenter's efficiency. If one number were out of place, no matter how insignificant, the data would generate a totally different hash. How It Might, work in Retail Tomorrow, the problem with the whole decentralized part.

Adam named AHL's top rookie
April 7, 2011, 11:56 pm
Filed under: NHL, Sabres | Tags: adam, ennis, rakhshani
From Aaron Vickers:
Another year, another Portland Pirate is the AHL's top rookie.
In what is becoming a minor league tradition, Buffalo Sabres prospect Luke Adam has been named the recipient of Dudley (Red) Garrett Memorial Award as the league's best first-year player.
Adam's win marks the third consecutive year a Portland Pirate has claimed the award. Tyler Ennis captured the award last year while Nathan Gerbe received the honour in 2008/09. Current Tampa Bay Lightning forward Teddy Purcell was the last non-Pirate to capture the award as a Los Angeles Kings prospect, doing so with the Manchester Monarchs.
The St. John's, NL. native finished first in rookie goal scoring, finding the back of the net 28 times. Adam's 60 points was second only to Bridgeport Sound Tigers forward Rhett Rakhshani's 62 point effort. Adam, who also enjoyed an 11 game point streak from February 26 to March 22, the longest of any rookie since 2005, recorded 16 multi-point games this season.
The award is voted on by AHL coaches, players and media in each of the league's 30 cities.
Adam was selected in the second round, 44th overall of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. He suited up for 19 games with the Sabres this season, recording three goals and one assist.

In spoken conversation as well as in written texts we can find examples of a construction which has been the object of linguistic research for about 35 years and which has repeatedly been described under the names of ja-aber syntagma, ja-aber connection and ja-aber utterance pattern. In most analyses this construction is split into two parts: The ja-part is seen to convey (partial) consent, whereas the function of the aber-part is interpreted as (partial) objection. Falling back upon ja as affirmative response particle and aber as adversative conjunction, such analyses operate on semantically compositional principles. Additionally, the possibility of ja being a structuring particle is taken into consideration, where ja is supposed to ensure the mere connection of the part following the particle with the antecedent part. However, as this paper wants to show, compositional approaches like these tend to mislead studies to circular lines of arguments, in which presumptive findings are taken for presuppositions (petitio principii). Moreover, they seem to disregard actual usage of this construction, which can be ascertained with the help of corpora. Corpus-aided investigation of the construction in question shows that its semantic elaboration is dependent on two factors that go beyond compositional explanation attempts: (1) syntactical integration of the aber-part and (2) presence of negation in the aber-part. Not even in "classic" examples this construction can be semantically reduced to simple combinations of consent + objection, though. In order to reach appropriate results here, semantic analysis has to turn to pragmatically more adequate ways of description.

Future directions in research on beaked whales

Bioacoustics group
Until the 1990s, beaked whales were one of the least understood groups of large mammals. Information on northern bottlenose whales (Hyperoodon ampullatus) and Baird's beaked whales (Berardius bairdii) was available from data collected during whaling, however, little information existed on the smaller species other than occasional data gleaned from beach-cast animals. Recent research advances have been plentiful. Increasing global survey effort, together with morphometric and genetic analyses have shown at least 22 species in this group. Longitudinal field studies of at least four species (H. ampullatus, B. bairdii, Ziphius cavirostris, Mesoplodon densirostris) have become established over the last three decades. Several long-term studies support photo-identification catalogs providing insights into life history, social structure and population size. Tag-based efforts looking at diving, movements and acoustics have provided detail on individual behavior as well as population structure and ranges. Passive acoustic monitoring has allowed long-term and seasonal monitoring of populations. Genetic studies have uncovered cryptic species and revealed contrasting patterns of genetic diversity and connectivity amongst the few species examined. Conservation concern for these species was sparked by mass strandings coincident with military mid-frequency sonar use. Fat and gas emboli have been symptomatic indicators of mortalities related to sonar exposure, suggesting that their vulnerability stems from the physiological exertion of extreme diving for medium-sized whales. Behavioral response experiments have now shown that beaked whales appear to cease foraging and delay their return to foraging and/or leave the area in association with exposure to mid-frequency signals at low acoustic levels. Future priorities for these species will be to (1) continue field-studies to better understand smaller-scale habitat use, vital rates and social structure; (2) develop better detection methods for larger-scale survey work; (3) improve methodology for monitoring energetics, individual body condition and health; (4) develop tools to better understand physiology; (5) use recent genetic advances with improved sample databanks to re-examine global and local beaked whale relationships; (6) further quantify anthropogenic impacts (both sonar and other noise) and their population consequences (7) apply acquired data for realistic mitigation of sonar and other anthropogenic impacts for beaked whale conservation.

Worth a punt for a pound.
Based on a story by renowned crime writer Jo Nesbø, Jackpot stars Kyrre Hellum as Oscar, who awakes clutching a shotgun on the floor of a strip joint strewn with dead bodies and swarming with police officers. Taken for questioning by hard-nosed cop Solør (Henrik Mestad), Oscar recounts the unlikely events leading up to this point, starting with him winning a share of a 1.7m krone prize in a betting pool. But is Oscar telling the truth or spinning a wild yarn?
This was a blind buy from Poundland, and while I wouldn't exactly say that I hit the jackpot with my gamble, I don't regret spending my hard-earned cash on the DVD (all £1 of it!). Director Magnus Martens handles the darkly humorous tale of crime, treachery and murder with confidence, his cast put in solid performances, and there is plenty of grisly violence to keep fans of gritty crime capers satisfied for the duration. Where the film falls down slightly is in its narrative, which, despite plenty of twists and turns, isn't quite as clever or as deranged as it is clearly intended to be—certainly not on a par with the absurdist work of The Coen Brothers, as the DVD cover states.


A walk down the memory lane – Me, Myself and My Blog.
It was end of 2003 when I moved from the Office Developer Team to the Visual Studio for Devices Team. A team that was chartered to provide developer tools for Windows CE and Windows Mobile. Quite a change from writing code in Visual Basic/VBA to C++ for Smart Devices and even more interesting was having to grasp a dozen new code words 'Cedar', 'Talisker', 'Ozone','Jameson',' McKendrik' in the first week of starting.
eVC also came with the support for the Standard CE Emulator which was an X86 based emulator for helping debug the application.
While many developers were writing hardcode native applications, a part of my team was also working to enable 'Winforms' support on Windows Mobile and CE using Compact Framework.
Our first incarnation of the managed tooling for Visual Studio was called as the 'Smart Device Extensions'. A name that stuck on for years even after we become an integral part of the Visual Studio .NET 2003 product. An interesting introductory article from Jim Wilson (One of our MVPs) around this technology published almost 8 years ago.
So at this point we had 2 development tools, eVC for Native Development and Visual Studio .NET 2003 for doing Managed Development. I guess we knew what was coming next.
Visual Studio 2005 was the first IDE that now supported both Managed and Native Development. Here was my first article on the new features in VS 2005.
and this was one of the richest IDE we did so far. very cool design time experiene - WYSIWYG for both Pocket PC and Smartphone.
And how could we not give you high fidelity emulator. Barry Bond from my team was working a very high fidelity emulator (internally we called it "Barry's Emulator"). It was an ARM based emulator to provide high fidelity for Native Apps and very powerful simulation for Managed Applications.
Fast forward another 2 years, and Visual Studio 2008 was around the corner. With a huge spike in the adoption of our tools and growth in developers using our the tools, we put a lot more focus on the developer productivity. Unit testing support was added as one of the core enhancements.
So now, what's next ? Well all I can say is Stay tuned. The exciting stuff is only a few days away ! Come meet me and MIX and we would love to talk about it ! Also follow the blogs of Charlie and Christian to learn more about Windows Phone Development.
03.15.2010 – I am waiting for MIX, I hope you are too !
PS:Pictures are from various articles I wrote and/or MSDN articles on Smart Devices across the years.

A Gary Shilling & Co.
The U.S. remains in a deflationary environment in which consumers will continue to save more, retail growth will be weak, and the government will have to keep spending to get people back to work, according to Gary Shilling (via Advisor Perspectives).
Beyond our deflationary weakness, Shilling outlined 5 factors that could derail the recovery altogether and spark another downturn, at the Strategic Investment Conference in San Diego.
Oil Prices: If uncertainty in the Middle East persists, oil prices will continue to rise, creating a tax on the U.S. consumer, weakening retail sales.
Japan: Because of the slowdown in the U.S., Japan will no longer run current account surpluses, but rather deficits. That will weaken the domestic buyer of Japanese bonds, force the country to sell to foreign buyers at higher interest rates, and lead toa debt "death spiral."
Europe: Restructuring likely in Ireland, Greece, and Portugal, will send region into a recession, reduce demand for U.S. exports, and hit U.S. banks with exposures to the eurozone.
China: Hard landing likely, with inflation already at 12%, and interest rate hikes failing.

Indoor Mapping using BLE-Beacons for Policy Tooling.
Most service providers and users desire more privacy and security to control access to their resources. Therefore, access control solutions offer service providers and users possibilities to define access restrictions to these resources. The user may express access restrictions such as who can access the resources, when and from where. These information will be included in the access rule or access policy. However, the location requirement is difficult to achieve in an indoor environment. Determining the user's location inside of buildings is difficult because the GPS does not work properly in indoor situations due the weak reception. Moreover, cur- rent access control solutions do not possess access requirements for restricting access to such sensitive data, which is indoor locations.This thesis presents a graphical web interface based on OpenStreetMap, called Indoor Map- ping Web Interface, which is designed and realized to combine indoor maps and floor plans of several real-world objects such as hospitals, airports, department stores and more. Further- more, it allows and helps the service providers and users to take into consideration the indoor location while restricting access to sensitive resources. By placing Bluetooth Low Energy bea- cons inside buildings and also placing the beacons on the indoor maps, the web interface will ensure having the indoor location information and storing them in the database. Using the stored indoor location information in the database will enable to express access control restric- tions especially in respect of indoor location and Bluetooth Low Energy beacon IDs. Moreover, the indoor mapping web interface enables and ensures the accurate determination of a user's position even in indoor situations and as a result helps fulfill the location requirement which might be included in the access policy.
The Indoor Mapping Web Interface was evaluated by defining several scenarios to test the usability and the validity of the policies. The evaluation shows that the web interface performs well and helps extending the access control system compared to traditional systems.

How Much Is a Kidney Worth? And a Plea for Donors
Levy Izhak Rosenbaum of Brooklyn has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison for illegally brokering sales of kidneys. He will also forfeit $420,000 in profit. It's the first case ever brought under the 1984 act outlawing the exchange of "valuable consideration" for organs.
Rosenbaum, who was caught in a sting as part of a broader corruption probe, may be the generous life-saver his supporters maintain. He may be the venial money-grubber portrayed by prosecutors. Or, like the donors who took money for their kidneys, he may be something in between.
But one thing's for sure: While it lasted, his organ business was highly profitable -- a textbook example of how prohibition produces extraordinary margins for people willing to buck the law.
In one case, a family paid Rosenbaum $150,000 for a kidney from a man who got only $25,000 for his organ. That $125,000 profit represents a lot more than a finder's fee. It's a reward for breaking the law -- for bearing the risk of going to prison and knowing how to circumvent the system. Those figures also establish upper and lower bounds for the market-clearing price of kidneys, not in some impoverished country with desperate people and questionable medical procedures but in state-of-the-art U.S. transplant centers.

Jenna Franks is 26 and needs a Type O kidney
Since there isn't a market for kidneys, people who don't have compatible family or friends have to go out and beg strangers for help. Back in 2007, I wrote about Karol Franks's successful networking to find her daughter Jenna a kidney. Now Jenna's donated kidney is failing, and, at age 26, she's facing a return to dialysis. Karol has set up a Facebook page to try to find another Type O donor for Jenna.

Boots Were Made for Talking, About Who We Are
Thanks to everybody who answered my shoe survey. It plays a small role in my latest Bloomberg View column. Here's the column lead:
If you have been reading newspapers or websites, listening to the radio or watching TV over the past few weeks, you have probably heard the news: "You CAN judge a person by his shoes." Beginning in mid-June, word of a psychology article titled "Shoes as a source of first impressions" began circling the globe.
Describing an experiment by researchers from the University of Kansas and Wellesley College, many reports declared that shoes alone reveal just everything about the wearer's personality. "Overly aggressive people wear ankle boots," proclaimed a Los Angeles National Public Radio host.
What psychologist Omri Gillath and his team actually found was more modest. Without the cues of facial expressions and context, college students could guess basic demographic characteristics from looking at photos of other college students' footwear: gender, age and income. They could also detect the personality trait known as agreeableness, as well as something called attachment anxiety, which is connected to fear of rejection and was correlated with dull-colored shoes. That was all: not political affiliation, not how extroverted the wearers were, not whether they were overly aggressive.
The study made a solid contribution to research on first impressions, but it was hardly earthshaking. By getting so much attention, however, it demonstrated a sociological truth: People love to talk about shoes. Even those who dismissed the research as silly often felt compelled to call radio stations or comment on websites, providing details about their own choices. Why this fascination with footwear?
Like cars, shoes combine function and aesthetics, the promise of mobility and the pleasures of style. As apparel, they offer not only protection but transformation; as autonomous objects, they serve as "bursts of beauty that defy the mundane," writes Rachelle Bergstein in Women from the Ankle Down: The Story of Shoes and How They Define Us . Unlike cars, shoes are also inexpensive enough to permit people to build diverse wardrobes, changing footwear with season, circumstances and mood.
Whether Jimmy Choos, Pumas or Toms, shoes let us stand out as individuals while fitting into similarly shod social groups. The complex relationship between the social and the personal is why it's so hard to tell much about a shoe's owner from a photograph alone -- and why shoes are so interesting. Their meanings require, and sometimes reveal, broader cultural context. Bergstein tells the story of a Texas high school that in 1993 punished students for wearing Doc Martens, falsely assuming that the boots signaled white racism when in fact they merely reflected students' musical taste. A shoe, says Elizabeth Semmelhack, the senior curator at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, "is an accessory that can carry a lot of cultural meaning."
And here's a photo of my early life as a shoe intellectual:

Traces of a Vanished World
The Free Press has accepted my book, tentatively titled Glamour Decoded, and sent me the traditional "Author Questionnaire" to provide information for the publicity and marketing departments. (They're not blunt enough to say it, but essentially for the people who won't read any of the book.) Although the questionnaire came as a .docx file and has a section asking about online activities, the initial instructions recall an earlier era (emphasis added):
The purpose of this questionnaire is to provide our publicity, promotion, and advertising departments with accurate information about you and your work. If you would answer each question as thoroughly as possible, it will enable us to answer questions from the press and the public quickly and accurately, and to obtain the best possible attention to your book. We will keep this information on file to be used in the preparation of news releases to the media. Please type your responses if possible. If you would like any of this information to be kept confidential, indicate so by placing a check in left margin of the question and we will respect your wishes. If you need more space, feel free to attach additional pages, indicating which question or section they correspond to.
They even spaced twice between sentences, just as I was taught to do in middle-school typing class. All that's lacking is a reference to carriage returns.
Is Time Inc. Trying to Save the Postal Service?
Times are tough in the magazine business and every penny counts. So I was surprised to receive not one but two copies of the latest issue of Time--a redundancy that was beaten when Sports Illustrated arrived, with three identical copies. Unless word has come down that Time Inc. is going to single-handedly cover the USPS deficit, something has gone seriously wrong in the printing and fulfillment departments. Or maybe the Postrels are just lucky.

The Magic Washing Machine
One of the great miracles of industrial technology is the transformation of one of the most difficult of household tasks, washing clothes, into one of the easiest. (I'm doing it right now.) Although he doesn't note it in the talk, hand-washing clothes is so onerous that it is one of the first chores people who don't have washing machines contract out to even poorer people. (Some of the commenters, none of whom scrub their jeans by hand, thus see washing machines as destroying jobs.)
But if you don't want to use electricity, there's a new alternative to the old washboard and bucket called The Laundry POD. (h/t Greg Rehmke via Facebook.)

It could compare two lists and tell you which items were in both lists.
2.0 does not have this node. 2.0 has one named List.Contains, but it does not work the same.
1.3 List.ContainsItem gave me a list that I could then use in a Boolean Mask.
When I run the same graph in 2.0, the List.Contains only returns one True or False value.
I've tried using Levels, but a.) Both lists only have one Level and b.) it doesn't make any difference in the results.
Is there a 2.0 equivalent to List.ContainsItem ?
I can see your new screenshot now though.
It was awhile back, but there were are a few differences I stumbled over when I moved to 2.0 and I had seen the list level behavior you describe. The AUTO lacing function is very handy but you still need to change it a lot, just not as much as before.
In my 2.0 scripts at least, I have found that Materials need to be collected from Element Types>All Elements of Type, where previously in 1.3 they were collected by Categories>All Elements of Category.

BALTIMORE — On the last day of the regular season, David Ortiz arrived at the ballpark wearing a white shirt with a pink floral design and a white coat with a bright red handkerchief stuffed in the pocket.
His Boston Red Sox teammates teased away, saying he looked like a waiter or a wedding guest, but the slugger would have none of it.
"You guys are always waiting for the best-looking guy on the team, right?" he said when reporters surrounded his locker.
Ortiz is all dressed up and has a place to go. The Red Sox wrapped up the regular season Sunday with a 7-6 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, a game that had an exhibition feel for the AL East champions as they look ahead to the playoffs.
"We are right where we need to be," Ortiz said. "You want to make sure that you're in the playoffs, and now it's all about surviving."
The Red Sox finished 97-65, tied with the St. Louis Cardinals for the best record in baseball. Boston will open its division series at Fenway Park on Friday against the winner of the AL's wild-card playoff, a layoff so long that manager John Farrell is planning simulated games for Wednesday's workout.
"I think everybody's anticipating Friday, but we've still got some work to do before we get there," Farrell said, "whether that's finding out who we're going to play, but, more importantly, to continue to address not only the roster internally, but the work that we need to stay as sharp as possible."
Making liberal use of the bench and bullpen with home-field advantage in the postseason already clinched, the Red Sox blew a 5-0 lead and used seven pitchers. Rubby De La Rosa (0-2) gave up Baltimore's go-ahead run in the sixth.
T.J. McFarland (4-1), the second of four Orioles pitchers, threw one scoreless inning for the win.
Jim Johnson worked the ninth for his 50th save, but not before allowing one run and nearly a second that would have tied the game. The Red Sox had men on first and third with one out when Will Middlebrooks ended the game by hitting into a 5-4-3 double play.
Johnson, who had 51 saves last year, became the second player in major league history with back-to-back 50-save seasons, joining Eric Gagne, who had 52 in 2002 and 55 in 2003.
The Orioles finished 85-77, giving them back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1996-97, an achievement that hardly tempers the disappointment of not repeating last year's run to the playoffs.
The final blow came when Chris Davis sprained his left wrist in the fourth inning on a play at first base. X-rays were negative, but the injury ended his season a couple of hours earlier than expected. The player who accepted the Orioles' MVP award before the game walked off to a standing ovation, finishing tops in the majors in both homers (53) and RBIs (138).
"Nothing serious, no broken bones, no fractures, just sprained my wrist," Davis said. "They said it would probably be sore for a few days. It's not going to affect anything going into the offseason, nothing like that. I was really glad to hear that."
Davis was hurt on a nubber by Jacoby Ellsbury. The ball stopped only a few feet in front of home plate, and catcher Steve Clevenger's throw hit Ellsbury on the left side of the back just as Ellsbury was arriving at the bag. Davis' attempt to catch the ball left his outstretched hand in the path of Ellsbury's torso.
Davis' glove flew off, and he immediately grabbed his wrist. He attempted a few throws under the supervision of the trainer before heading to the dugout.
"We dodged a bullet there, hopefully," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. "Next week or two passes and he's still got problems, we'll go into more detail with it."
Davis' sub, Ryan Flaherty, picked up the slack, hitting an RBI single in a five-run fifth and a run-scoring double when the Orioles took the lead for good in the sixth.
With the four-day break to come, Red Sox manager Farrell wanted to give multiple innings to multiple pitchers. Scheduled starter John Lackey was scratched for Allen Webster, who threw three hitless innings. Felix Doubront pitched a scoreless fourth but fell apart in the fifth, retiring only one of the eight batters he faced as the Orioles scored five to tie the game.
"We got everybody to the mound that we hoped to," Farrell said. "We found some things out, at least in the short run."
Notes: Ellsbury began the game with his 10th career leadoff homer, breaking the club record held by Dom DiMaggio and Tommy Harper. ... Baltimore set a major league record with 54 errors in a 162-game season, 11 fewer than the previous mark set by the 2003 Mariners. ... The Red Sox finished the season with 39 consecutive successful stolen base attempts. Their 86.6 percentage for the season (123 for 142) is the best by an AL team since the statistic has been tracked in the league, starting in 1920.
... Orioles CF Adam Jones sat out with a sore right wrist, which he hurt while fouling off a pitch in the seventh inning of Saturday night's game. ... The Orioles drew more than 2.3 million, their best season attendance since 2005.

RETAIL REVIEW: West Street Wines & Spirits
By brianApril 1, 2014Connecticut, Retail Review, Top News
West Street Wines & Spirits, 131 West Street, Simsbury, CT
Size of store: 3,000 square feet
Years in operation: 70+
By Bob Sample
"Here in the Farmington Valley, customers pride themselves on being both well-educated and curious," says Jim Pabich, owner of Simsbury's oldest retail establishment, West Street Wines & Spirits. "We pride ourselves in imparting a high level of knowledge about our products, which has made our store successful."
For Pabich, owning a package store is a true calling. In college, he worked for West Street's previous owners. He later became a high school history teacher and then managed a chain drugstore. Pabich purchased West Street Wine & Spirits when the previous owners retired in 1996. He and store manager Dave Mellen work hard to cultivate a small-town ambience in the store. Between them, the two men have more than 40 years of industry knowledge.
David Mellen, store manager and Owner Jim Pabich.
Since Pabich took the reins, the business environment for package stores has changed considerably. Stores are permitted to remain open much longer than they used to, and in 2012 the state legislature ushered in Sunday alcohol sales. "When it first happened we really weren't in favor of it," Pabich said. "But we began staying open on Sunday and it has worked to our benefit."
Another key change has been a shakeout among brewers of craft beers. In the mid-1990s, craft beers were just beginning to trickle in. That became a deluge by the middle of the last decade. "However, some brewers weren't prepared to function in the challenging economic climate we've seen since 2008," Pabich said. Those that remained improved their quality and became more reliable at keeping stores like West Street well stocked, enabling customers to develop favorites.
Pabich still sees plenty of new brews, but the biggest shift for the store is that wine now occupies more than half of the store's space, with the rest evenly divided between beer and spirits. "A lot of Americans now drink wine every day, which was unusual 20 years ago," Pabich said. "The Simsbury area is affluent, and wine drinkers are well-informed on their wines. They want value as well, so our best sellers are wines in the $20 range."
Another key change for the store has been the types of advertising it does. Pabich has scaled back his print advertising but continues to engage the store in community relations venues, such as the coat drive that took place this winter. The store's website and Facebook page also require a considerable investment of time and effort.
Pabich manages that end of things himself and he clearly enjoys it. "Facebook gives us the ability to interact with our customers," he said. "For instance, in this year's snowy winter, we were able to tell people we were open when nobody else was. That's great for any small business."

24 October, Today's Best Champions League Prediction: Borussia v Real Preview
By betonwins
There is little doubt that the best Champions League prediction for October 24th comes from this Borussia v Real preview. That game would be the night's headliner simply because it features the champions of Germany and Spain, and that's what this tournament should be all about. Current national champions going against each other in a battle to determine the very best team in Europe.
Last season, BVB failed to get out of the group stage, and they are very determined to avoid that now. However, English champions Manchester City who are accompanying those two teams in Group D are in the same bout as they also got eliminated in the group phase in 2011/12. Borussia have recorded four points from their first two matches with an opening 1:0 win against Ajax followed by a spectacular 1:1 draw at Manchester City, where they could have and should have won hadn't they missed that many chances, but we have to give credit to Joe Hart as well.
In light of our top Champions League prediction for today, the point we are trying to make is that Borussia Dortmund's players will be fired up for this encounter. They have everything to play for with the entire Germany behind them and the world watching. The online bookies are expecting a goal fest, which should prove to be correct given how good in attack both teams are. Borussia will be on the wings on inspiration cheered up by over 80,000 fans at the Signal Iduna Park arena. BVB hold the record for the hihghest average attendance in Europe, because even though Camp Nou has a higher capacity (nearly 100,000) it does not get sold out every game.
There is not much value in the Goal/Goal type of bet here since it's offered at 1.50. Perhaps the alternative of Over 3.5 goals at 2.50 is the better option. Examining all factors surrounding a given game, including the beting odds is what often allows an expert in the field to form the best football predictions for a given day.
There are some issues in front of Jose Mourinho regarding that particular Borussia v Real prediction. The defense is the line that's currently problematic for Real. Despite their usual squad depth, they are currently left without a pure full back as Marcelo, Alvaro Arbeloa and Fabio Coentrao are all injured. Things are quite serious in Marcelo's case with the Brazilian set to miss the next three months. That made Mou play Essien at left back in their last game – a 2:0 home win versus Celta on Saturday. This will also force the Special One to move Sergio Ramos to the right back position and line up the inexperienced Varan or the out-of-form Carvahlo alongside the nervy Pepe. All these factors make us favor the home side in this Borussia v Real prediction.
Another major factor to be taken into consideration about this most accurate Champions League prediction for today is that Germany has proven to be the worst country to play for Real Madrid in a sense that the Spaniards have managed just a single win in 23 attempts! The solitary win came against Bayer Leverkusen in 2000.

All around the house, possible storage spots go empty. Here are ten places to look.
All about eaves. Don't let the spaces under the eaves go to waste. Maybe you can't stand under that sloping ceiling, but you can sit. So pull up a chair. Then add a desk, file cabinet, and bookcase for a cozy home office.
Space bar. Homeowners love the idea of having barstools at a kitchen island. But many discover that few people actually sit to chat during food prep. If your stools have stood empty of late, think about installing extra shelves or cabinets on that island instead.
Every inch counts. Why not make good use of space under the stairs? Westside WineCellars–or any custom cabinetmaker–can design a triangular built-in wine cabinet. Or use the space for built-in bookcases, an electronics center, even a powder room. For wine cellar ideas, see westside-group.com/other-wine-cellar-cabinets.html.
Spare the rod? Don't give up on narrow closets with a single rod up front and wasted space behind. Install an inner rod or two for out-of-season clothes and coats or for formal attire you won't wear until the next black-tie affair. Even better, steal that space for a closet in an adjacent room.
Stud space. In between wall studs are empty spaces that could be filled with a recessed cabinet–and there are many to choose from. NuTone's PressRite Ironing Centers hide a flip-down ironing board–along with an electrical outlet and safety switch. See nutone.com. Other recessed cabinets include broom closets, pantries, and medicine cabinets.
Storage stand-ins. Why not make creative use of furniture you already have? Give a retired dresser a second chance as a kitchen island with a butcher-block top. Pull down picnic baskets, old suitcases, and hat boxes from the attic for attractive storage.
Toe to toe. SieMatic's toe-kick kitchen drawers offer a clever place for newspapers, step stools, or pet bowls. See siematic.com.
Once more with ceiling. Think about installing cabinets in a kitchen or bathroom up to the ceiling to store items you don't use often. When you need access, just pull out a step stool.
Tall order. The Putnam rolling ladder turns out-of-reach shelves in a den into convenient storage. Made-to-order in ten hardwoods and at least 20 stains, the sturdy rungs range from $1,000 to $2,000 uninstalled. See putnamrollingladder.com.
Door number one. The Container Store's new door-and-wall rack system from Elfa will have you looking behind doors in your house for unused space. The units, made from epoxy-coated steel, consist of a frame that mounts in minutes. Add on baskets and racks and load them up with everything from canned goods to videos. Available in white or platinum at area Container Stores; containerstore.com.


Please understand, conducting a complete and thorough risk analysis is extremely difficult to do yourself. I recommend contracting with a HIPAA auditor to help you. The problem is, most people just simply don't know where to look, or bypass things because they don't understand data security. If the Risk Analysis is foundational to your security, then you don't want to overlook key Risk Analysis elements. (Learn the pros and cons of a HIPAA audit).
According to the HHS, "There are several types of threats that may occur within an information system or operating environment. Threats may be grouped into general categories such as natural, human, and environmental."
Likelihood of occurrence: Just because you are threatened by something, doesn't necessarily mean it will have an impact on you. For example, an organization in Texas and an organization in Vermont technically could both be struck by a tornado. However, the likelihood of a tornado striking Texas is a lot higher than Vermont. So, the Texas-based organization's tornado risk level will be a lot higher than the Vermont-based organization.
Potential impact: What is the effect the particular risk you are analyzing would have on your organization? For example, while a computer screen might accidentally show PHI to a patient in the waiting room, it probably won't have as big of an impact as a hacker attacking your unsecured Wi-Fi and stealing all your patient data.
Every vulnerability and associated threat should be given a risk level. I typically assign mine a number as 'high,' 'medium' and 'low.' By documenting this information, you'll have a prioritized list of all security problems at your organization.


After almost twenty-eight years working at the Middlebury College Museum of Art, Emmie Donadio will retire at the beginning of February. During these years she has worn many hats including assistant director, associate director, chief curator, curator of modern and contemporary art and director of programs and events. She has played an instrumental role in many of the exhibits organized during these years and actively contributed to the growth in the museum's permanent collection. Among her many activities she has overseen student interns, taught Winter Term courses, written and edited exhibit catalogues, given public talks and for the past two years served as co-director of the summer internship program MuseumWorks.
Emmie and I often approached an exhibit from very different viewpoints but we always challenged each other and the results were some of our most compelling exhibits—After Eden, 13 Alumni Artists, Confronting History—to name a few. Wow, I miss her already.
Emmie is lively and smart and funny, and she has the courage to speak her mind.
Emmie is an institutional memory in her own right! She has a lovely rapport with the faculty, staff, and the public, and will be missed.
I have had the pleasure to work with Emmie on exhibitions, acquisitions, installations, object labels, publications, and most recently the forthcoming handbook of the collection. She also introduced me to many prominent artists and several important scholars, and for all that I am extremely grateful. I will miss the many conversations about the arts we engaged in within the confines of the museum, but I look forward to many more conversations about the arts at Middlebury in more general contexts, at concerts, lectures, and many museum events.
Emmie's career at Middlebury will be celebrated with a retirement party on Tuesday, January 30 at 4:30 in the lower lobby of the Mahaney Center for the Arts.

1- Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win by Jocko Willink And Leif Babin
Book Description: two U.S. Navy SEAL officers who led the most highly decorated special operations unit of the Iraq War demonstrate how to apply powerful leadership principles from the battlefield to business and life.
Sent to the most violent battlefield in Iraq, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin's SEAL task unit faced a seemingly impossible mission: help U.S. forces secure Ramadi, a city deemed "all but lost." In gripping firsthand accounts of heroism, tragic loss, and hard-won victories in SEAL Team Three's Task Unit Bruiser, they learned that leadership—at every level—is the most important factor in whether a team succeeds or fails.
Willink and Babin returned home from deployment and instituted SEAL leadership training that helped forge the next generation of SEAL leaders. After departing the SEAL Teams, they launched Echelon Front, a company that teaches these same leadership principles to businesses and organizations. From promising startups to Fortune 500 companies, Babin and Willink have helped scores of clients across a broad range of industries build their own high-performance teams and dominate their battlefields.
Now, detailing the mind-set and principles that enable SEAL units to accomplish the most difficult missions in combat, Extreme Ownership shows how to apply them to any team, family or organization. Each chapter focuses on a specific topic such as Cover and Move, Decentralized Command, and Leading Up the Chain, explaining what they are, why they are important, and how to implement them in any leadership environment.
A compelling narrative with powerful instruction and direct application, Extreme Ownership revolutionizes business management and challenges leaders everywhere to fulfill their ultimate purpose: lead and win.

2- Choose Yourself! by James Altucher
Book Description: The world is changing. Markets have crashed. Jobs have disappeared. Industries have been disrupted and are being remade before our eyes.

It's on you to make the most important decision in your life: Choose Yourself.
New tools and economic forces have emerged to make it possible for individuals to create art, make millions of dollars and change the world without "help." More and more opportunities are rising out of the ashes of the broken system to generate real inward success (personal happiness and health) and outward success (fulfilling work and wealth).
This book will teach you to do just that. With dozens of case studies, interviews and examples–including the author, investor and entrepreneur James Altucher's own heartbreaking and inspiring story–Choose Yourself illuminates your personal path to building a bright, new world out of the wreckage of the old.

7- Smarter Faster Better: The Transformative Power of Real Productivity by Charles Duhigg
Book Description: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of The Power of Habit comes a fascinating book that explores the science of productivity, and why managing how you think is more important than what you think—with an appendix of real-world lessons to apply to your life.
At the core of Smarter Faster Better are eight key productivity concepts—from motivation and goal setting to focus and decision making—that explain why some people and companies get so much done. Drawing on the latest findings in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics—as well as the experiences of CEOs, educational reformers, four-star generals, FBI agents, airplane pilots, and Broadway songwriters—this painstakingly researched book explains that the most productive people, companies, and organizations don't merely act differently.
They view the world, and their choices, in profoundly different ways.
A young woman drops out of a PhD program and starts playing poker. By training herself to envision contradictory futures, she learns to anticipate her opponents' missteps—and becomes one of the most successful players in the world.
A group of data scientists at Google embark on a four-year study of how the best teams function, and find that how a group interacts is more important than who is in the group—a principle, it turns out, that also helps explain why Saturday Night Live became a hit.
A Marine Corps general, faced with low morale among recruits, reimagines boot camp—and discovers that instilling a "bias toward action" can turn even the most directionless teenagers into self-motivating achievers.
The filmmakers behind Disney's Frozen are nearly out of time and on the brink of catastrophe—until they shake up their team in just the right way, spurring a creative breakthrough that leads to one of the highest-grossing movies of all time.
What do these people have in common?
They know that productivity relies on making certain choices. The way we frame our daily decisions; the big ambitions we embrace and the easy goals we ignore; the cultures we establish as leaders to drive innovation; the way we interact with data: These are the things that separate the merely busy from the genuinely productive.
In The Power of Habit, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Charles Duhigg explained why we do what we do. In Smarter Faster Better, he applies the same relentless curiosity, deep reporting, and rich storytelling to explain how we can improve at the things we do. It's a groundbreaking exploration of the science of productivity, one that can help anyone learn to succeed with less stress and struggle, and to get more done without sacrificing what we care about most—to become smarter, faster, and better at everything we do.
Praise for Smarter Faster Better
"A pleasure to read . . . Duhigg's skill as a storyteller makes his book so engaging to read."—The New York Times Book Review
"Not only will Smarter Faster Better make you more efficient if you heed its tips, it will also save you the effort of reading many productivity books dedicated to the ideas inside."—Bloomberg Businessweek
"Duhigg pairs relatable anecdotes with the research behind why some people and businesses are not as efficient as others."—Chicago Tribune
"The book covers a lot of ground through meticulous reporting and deft analysis, presenting a wide range of case studies . . . with insights that apply to the rest of us."—The Wall Street Journal
8- Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People by Vanessa Van Edwards
Book Description: Do you feel awkward at networking events? Do you wonder what your date really thinks of you? Do you wish you could decode people? You need to learn the science of people.
As a human behavior hacker, Vanessa Van Edwards created a research lab to study the hidden forces that drive us. And she's cracked the code. In Captivate, she shares shortcuts, systems, and secrets for taking charge of your interactions at work, at home, and in any social situation. These aren't the people skills you learned in school. This is the first comprehensive, science backed, real life manual on how to captivate anyone—and a completely new approach to building connections.
Just like knowing the formulas to use in a chemistry lab, or the right programming language to build an app, Captivate provides simple ways to solve people problems. You'll learn, for example…
· How to work a room: Every party, networking event, and social situation has a predictable map. Discover the sweet spot for making the most connections.
· How to read faces: It's easier than you think to speed-read facial expressions and use them to predict people's emotions.
· How to talk to anyone: Every conversation can be memorable—once you learn how certain words generate the pleasure hormone dopamine in listeners.
When you understand the laws of human behavior, your influence, impact, and income will increase significantly. What's more, you will improve your interpersonal intelligence, make a killer first impression, and build rapport quickly and authentically in any situation—negotiations, interviews, parties, and pitches. You'll never interact the same way again.
9- High-Hanging Fruit: Build Something Great by Going Where No One Else Will by Mark Rampolla
Book Description: Grabbing the low-hanging fruit is no longer acceptable. ZICO Coconut Water founder Mark Rampolla argues that when you choose to reach higher, you can build an incredible business, be profitable, and maybe even change the world.
In 2004, Mark Rampolla was successful by most standards. There was just one problem: He wasn't inspired in his job and believed he had something more to contribute to the world.
When he asked himself, "What do I have to offer that will improve the world?" Rampolla realized that his big idea was hanging right overhead. From his time living in Central America, he and his family came to love drinking coconut water, just like the locals. But no one was really selling coconut water in the United States.
So Rampolla chased a very ambitious goal: introducing coconut water to the American beverage market dominated by a few big players. He wasn't just starting a business; he was creating a whole new industry. ZICO Coconut Water brought a healthy beverage alternative to American consumers while also helping developing-world growers and suppliers profit from this resource.
It was a win-win-win—good for Rampolla, his customers, and the world. So good, in fact, that in 2013 the Coca-Cola Company purchased ZICO and is scaling the brand around the globe.
Rampolla wrote High-Hanging Fruit for others who want to succeed because of, not in spite of, their values. This book is for people who believe that it's their duty to reach higher than just the bottom line to build businesses driven by passion, purpose, and integrity. Above all, it's a call to arms for a new generation of entrepreneurs who want to disrupt the old model and do good by doing business.

Western Journalism and Media Fellowships
Center Media Fellow Explores "Extinction's Greatest Hits"
Journalism Fellows
Image via Wikimedia Commons
At least five times in its tumultuous history, our planet has experienced "mass extinction events," during which three-quarters or more of the Earth's species died out. The most recent of these ushered out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Now scientists are wondering if we have entered a sixth extinction period, this time caused by human activity.
With the support of a Center media fellowship, the science writer and author Mary Ellen Hannibal is exploring the scientific insights leading to our understanding of mass extinction in an upcoming six-part series in The New York Times. Dubbing these theories "extinction's greatest hits," Hannibal explains concepts like island biogeography – how fragmentation caused by development can isolate pockets of habitat for particular species; trophic cascades, by which the loss of top predators can undermine the health of a whole ecosystem; and co-evolution, how species developed in dependency with others.
Each article in the series will examine a different theory – some of them developed at Stanford's Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve – and draw connections to the future of the western landscape. "The fact that so much of the research in conservation biology and extinction focuses on the West", says Hannibal, "Is testament to the wildness we still have here, the scope and scale of the landscape, and the history of its biotic inhabitants."
Hannibal, who shared in the 2012 Knight-Risser Prize for Western Environmental Journalism, is the author of The Spine of the Continent, a book about conservation efforts along the Rocky Mountains, and is a contributor to the San Francisco Chronicle, Nautilus, High Country News, and other publications.
Her stories will run in print and online in The New York Times's Sunday Review section starting later this spring. To hear more about the series and the reporting behind it, attend Hannibal's lunchtime talk at the Center on May 28.

Legendary Theoretical Physicist Stephen Hawking Dead at 76
Easily the most famous scientist in the world, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has died at the age of 76 peacefully at his home in Cambridge in the early hours of Wednesday, his family said.
The British scientist was famed for his work with black holes and relativity, and wrote several popular science books including A Brief History of Time.
The physicist died on Pi Day, March 14, the day each year when scientists and mathematicians celebrate the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Today is also famed theory of relativity scientist Albert Einstein's birthday.
At the age of 22 Prof Hawking was given only a few years to live after being diagnosed with a rare form of motor neurone disease.
Considered by many to be the world's greatest living scientist, Hawking was also a cosmologist, astronomer, mathematician and author of numerous books including the landmark "A Brief History of Time," which has sold more than 10 million copies.
With fellow physicist Roger Penrose, Hawking merged Einstein's theory of relativity with quantum theory to suggest that space and time would begin with the Big Bang and end in black holes. Hawking also discovered that black holes were not completely black but emit radiation and would likely eventually evaporate and disappear.
Hawking suffered from ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a neurodegenerative disease commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, which is usually fatal within a few years. He was diagnosed in 1963, when he was 21, and doctors initially only gave him a few years to live.

"McCoist Must Win the League AND the Cup" – Charles Green Speaks! →
New Career Path? Buy a Football Club – Then Have a Warrant Granted For Your Arrest!
Regular readers will recall that Craig Whyte, the former owner of Rangers (or to be accurate the person believed to be the ultimate owner of the company which owns the company which owned 85% of the shares in the company which formerly owned the assets and business which make up Rangers Football Club) had a warrant for his arrest granted at Inverness Sheriff Court recently.
However, despite the numerous demands for him to be strung up for what he supposedly did to Rangers, and the various police investigations which are apparently ongoing, the warrant did not relate to that, but rather to his failure to come to court as a witness in a criminal trial.
He was able to resolve the matter, arranging to appear at court to surrender to the warrant, and then being granted bail. The Sheriff will deal with the imposition of any penalty for his failure to attend when the criminal case in question is concluded.
The next victim of this new career path is Vladimir Romanov, erstwhile owner of Hearts.
Unfortunately it seems that Mr Romanov's issues might prove to be more difficult to resolve than those of Mr Whyte.
According to the BBC today:-
Prosecutors in Lithuania have issued an arrest warrant for former Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov, reports from the country are indicating.
Romanov is thought to be in Russia and, if found, would be returned to Lithuania and prosecuted for non-payment of debts.
If found guilty, he could face up to seven years in prison.
The reports also indicate that a property in Moscow believed to be owned by Romanov has been valued at £50m.
Bearing in mind the extent of the debts of UBIG and Ukio Bankas, one suspects that the £50 million property, even if it does belong to Mr Romanov, would not make much of a dent in the liabilities.
It would clear off all of Hearts debt, but sadly for the Tynecastle outfit, that is definitely not going to happen.
Now, I do not want to criticise the BBC but I think that the report above might be incorrect in one regard.
Under Article 1 of the Fourth Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights, signed in 1963:-
No one shall be deprived of his liberty merely on the ground of inability to fulfil a contractual obligation.
The heading to that Article makes clear exactly what is intended:-
Prohibition of imprisonment for debt
It is almost certain therefore that Mr Romanov is wanted for more than simply failing to pay debts.
Whether or not he returns from Russia to Lithuania, and what prospect there is of Lithuania being able to force the hand-over of Mr Romanov to their prosecutors, are matters for later. One thing which is almost certain is that he has visited Tynecastle for the last time – I suspect that the Romanov attention will from now on be focussed on his legal travails in the Baltic.

The following little ditty – the Zombie Two-Step – is sung to the tune of the Hokey Cokey.
THE ZOMBIE TWO-STEP
You put your Chico in
Your Craigie out
In, out, in, out
You shake it all about
You do the the Zombie Two-Step and you turn a pound
That's what it's all about…
Woah, the Zombie Two-Step,
The Celts are on top, Glasgow's green and white, ha ha ha!
You put your Murray in
Your Chico out
You put your Mather in
Your Murray out
In, out, in out
You put another Murray in
Your Mather out
Note 1: The Zombie Two-Step is accompanied by a dance which is embarrassingly simple: it requires standing on one spot and pretending to move rather stiffly with first your left arm and left leg at the same time, followed by your right arm and right leg. Just repeat that awkward motion, standing on the same spot, and you'll master the Zombie Two-Step. For effect, you can keep your arms raised, parallel to the floor.
Note 2: There is no violent lateral movement required thus not placing vulnerable observers, not to mention sensitive seats, at risk.
With his wealth salted away,I'm sure he can "Persuade" the Russians to let him stay.
Don't know who Putin supports but if Romanov suggests HE takes over their biggest rivals, I'm sure he will agree LOL.
Where is Vile-it 😀
Mad Vlad and Chuckles were/are good for hilarity. Keep it up boys, we're waiting on the next beauty to be uttered. We know you won't let us down
D C MacKenzie (@DCMacKenzie1)
It's not almost certain. It has been certain for at least two months when an international warrant was threatened over a matter of the embezzlement of £12 million. If tried and found guilty, he would face 7 years in prison, the BBC obviously don't read the Lithuanian press, either:
http://www.lithuaniatribune.com/46686/lithuanian-prosecutors-launch-international-search-for-romanov-201346686/
It seems he has been offered 'political asylum' by a number of Hearts supporters on the Hearts fansite (though there is reported dissent from this view):
http://www.scotsman.com/news/scotland/top-stories/vladimir-romanov-threatened-with-arrest-warrant-1-2955206
I can exclusively reveal that Vlad will be returning to Tynie as a consultant.

Vlad and Chico have both sucked the blood from their clubs ……..well done lads ! Johnbhoy i've been practicing the Zombie dance .I'm so good now i reckon i could walk into castle Greyskull unnoticed !

Dating after divorce? You need to be open
Sunday October 20 2019
Relationships only really work well if you're completely honest with one another. ILLUSTRATION | IGAH | NATION MEDIA GROUP
Children imply you were in a serious relationship of course, but not necessarily that you were married.
And don't be tempted to make your ex sound like a monster.
Forgiveness takes time, and you may have to start over several times.
By CHRIS HART
As you start socialising again after a divorce, there's a good chance that your dates have also been in serious relationships. And that's something you'd like to know about, isn't it? No doubt they'll also want you to talk about your past.
And that can be surprisingly difficult after a marriage has failed. But don't be tempted to cover things up.
Because relationships only really work well if you're completely honest with one another. And one thing's for sure: if you feel unable to reveal your history to a potential partner, then you two have some big problems ahead. So be honest, take things slowly, and you'll lay the foundations for a good future.
SIMPLE QUESTIONS
Start by asking your new date some simple questions, like 'Have you ever lived with anyone?' 'How long was your longest relationship?' Naturally, you'll straightway be asked the same things, so that's your cue to reveal that you've been married.
Avoid gushing everything out all at once — it's just too scary. Your date only really needs to know two things to begin with: that you were once married, and it didn't work out. You can add the details later — but still keep everything simple. Just the basic facts.
Do you have children? Then don't go trying to hide even a single one of them! You'll get found out sooner or later, for sure, and that will destroy the trust between you.
Children imply you were in a serious relationship of course, but not necessarily that you were married. So use the way you talk about your children's other parent to define the relationship.
Calling them your "ex" implies they were just a part of your life and you're glad they aren't any longer. "Mother" or "father" is more neutral.
But the words "husband" or "wife" says the relationship was formal — and loving at some point. If that's the case, say right out whether you're now divorced, and check whether your new date is too. Because people often stay married for years before the legalities catch up with reality.
And don't be tempted to make your ex sound like a monster. OK, maybe they are. But mostly our exes are just ordinary people, and forever viewing them as a villain isn't good for you or your children.
So start referring to them by their name, rather than whatever arms-length label you're currently using. Your ex isn't a character in a movie, they're a real person in your children's lives.
And forgive them for whatever went wrong in your relationship. Not for their benefit but for yours. Forgiveness takes time, and you may have to start over several times. But you'll know you're succeeding when they no longer intrude into your thoughts.
You no longer think of how you've been hurt. Maybe you're even able to understand and empathise with them. But most important, you're looking to the future and not the past. And focusing on your own happiness.

Q: Issue with Roundcube on Postfix, Dovecot, MySQL I am seasoned with Ubuntu, Apache and MySQL but new to the email server world and an looking for some troubleshooting tips with my server configuration.
I am running Ubuntu 14.04 with Postfix, Dovecot and MySQL as instructed in this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-mail-server-using-postfix-dovecot-mysql-and-spamassassin
with the exception of spamassassin.
I then installed postfixadmin to provide a graphical means of configuring my virtual postfix users/domains.
Thereafter I installed Roundcube as instructed in this tutorial: http://www.unixmen.com/install-configure-roundcube-webmail-ubuntu/ with the exception of the version (I am using 1.1.4). Everything checks out; I can Telnet into my mail server with accounts created using postfixadmin and can verify the mailbox(es) exists. The server receives email from external domains and can send as well. However, when I attempt to login to a verified user account via-Roundcube it fails. I have tried and tried again to find what is missing and have hit a wall.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
-Joe

A: To debug, I would double check that RC is configured correctly to communicate with dovecot: this is the piece of software that is going to handle the authentication. To verify the software settings, one could switch on the debugging of both RC and dovecot.
Check RC configuration files to make sure that it is set up to connect to the right server and port. These settings can be found  either in 'config.inc.php' or in 'defaults.inc.php' under the 'config' directory of RC. Look for IMAP section and the following strings:
$config['default_host'] = 'tls://localhost';
$config['default_port'] = 143;
$config['imap_auth_type'] = null;

Pay special attention to the 'tls://' ('ssl://') prefixes -- these control the usage of encryption during negotiation with IMAP server (tls issues STARTTLS command while connecting on a standard port, and ssl expects connection to be encrypted from the very start and thus is generally used to connect to a dedicated 'encryped' port): for the purposes of debugging one might want to disable encryption altogether. I would propose to use the same hostname and port as were used for telnetting.
If these settings seem to be right, one can proceed to debugging of IMAP connection from RC to dovecot. To enable debugging, edit defaults.inc.php once again:
$config['debug_level'] = 1;
$config['log_driver'] = 'syslog';
$config['syslog_id'] = 'roundcube';
$config['syslog_facility'] = LOG_MAIL;
$config['log_logins'] = true;
$config['imap_debug'] = true;

This would direct debug information of RC IMAP negotiation with dovecot to /var/log/mail.log, where you most probably would be able to identify the problem.
