Farer's hot streak of releases has continued today with a bit of a surprising departure. Last we saw from the young, but quickly establishing house, they released a trio of mechanical chronographs, one of which we reviewed here. Both their most complex and expensive watches to date, they were exceptionally well-received thanks to their attractive, nuanced designs. Now, Farer is back with more chronographs, but rather than being on the higher-priced side of their catalog, they are on the entry-level, and they are quartz – but quartz with some pretty awesome features.
Before even getting into the design, there is a lot to unpack in the name. "Chronograph" should be pretty self-explanatory, but "split-second" and "flyback" are less common at the price and rarely seen together. "Split-second" is sometimes referred to as rattrapante or doppelchronograph, but means that the watch is hiding a very cool feature. Under the chronograph seconds hand is another hand. When the chrono is started, they move in unison. When the pusher at 10 is pressed, the hidden hand underneath stops while the other continues, thus allowing one interval to be recorded, but also the two hands to be compared. This hidden hand can catch up to the main hand. It's a bit confusing, but a very cool complication that is truly rare on affordable watches, as mechanical split-seconds watches are very complex. While the quartz variety likely functions very differently from a technical perspective, the result is the same, and makes this unlikely feature accessible.
A flyback is then a chronograph that can be instantly reset without stopping. You know how you've always been told not to push the reset button on your chrono while it's running? Well, this lets you do that. The advantage is that there is no delay between two timing actuations, which would come in handy during lap timing of a vehicle that is already in motion, for example. By combining the two complications, you have a sort-of ultimate chronograph. Sure, it's not mechanical, but it's also not $50k. Making this possible is the ETA 251.294 FK which also features "powerdrive" technology, 1/10th second display, 30-minute counters, sub-seconds and date.
The two new models, Pendine and Ainsdale, build on a pretty classic dial format that Farer has honed through several models. Both versions, one light the other dark, feature a primary index of large numerals with a surrounding track of small marks for minutes, second and sub-seconds. At two, six and ten are sub-dials for the 1/10th second, active seconds and 30-minute counter respectively. At the very edge of the dial are numerals at intervals of five for additional readability, especially of the chrono-seconds.
The Pendine takes a soft, vintage approach to its palette. The surface is "heritage white" which is a warm off-white that is accented by seafoam green numerals, black and red indexes, red hands for the chrono functions and sub-seconds, and bold blue metal hands for the hour and minutes. The overall look is very appealing, with a slightly preppy, Americana feel.
The Ainsdale takes a sharper approach with a dark, gloss midnight blue surface accented by orange numerals. The outer indexes are then soft blue with orange numerals, while the sub-dial hands are orange, chrono-seconds is vivid yellow and the hour and minute hands are white. It sounds like a lot, and is a bit intense, but everything plays off of each other harmoniously, speaking to the motorsport influences the series clearly draws upon.
As for the case, Farer went back to the 39.5 x 45 x 11mm (to the top of the box sapphire) case that can be found on their earlier models, such as the Oxley GMT and Hopewell automatic, save the additional pushers. No complaints here, it's a beautiful case that wears well and has top-notch finishing. Farer also kept their unique tapered bronze crown, though the pushers are steel.
With a price tag of $625, the new Farer Quartz Chronograph Split-second Flybacks are what luxury quartz should be. Sure, they aren't cheap, which is what is often associated with quartz watches, but they aren't outrageous either. Most importantly, the cases, dials, hands, straps, etc, are made to the same high-standards as Farer's more expensive pieces, which feature exceptional fit and finish, while also being Swiss-made. The added functionality brought by the rather unique movement chosen then earns the new watches a special level of intrigue, making them very tempting for any chronograph, or, frankly, Farer fan.

For second time, 25-year-old Covina woman loses…
For second time, 25-year-old Covina woman loses boyfriend in crash
By Daniel Tedford | dtedford@scng.com | Daily News
COVINA – For the second time, 25-year-old Valerie Elder of Covina lost a boyfriend through a crash.
Elder's boyfriend of seven years, Alfredo Gonzalez, 33, of Covina, was killed at 6:03 p.m. Monday when his motorcycle collided with a car while making a left turn from Badillo Street to Sunset Avenue, according to the statement from California Highway Patrol.
When Elder was a teenager, her then-boyfriend was killed in a crash while they were riding a Sea-Doo at Silverwood Lake.
"I can't even believe it," Elder said Tuesday. "It is surreal."
Gonzalez was riding a 2004 Suzuki GSXR-1000 when he struck a 1992 Honda Accord in the intersection, according to the CHP statement.
The Accord, driven by a 22-year-old West Covina woman, was traveling east about 45 mph in the left lane of Badillo Street when Gonzalez hit the front left side of her car, according to the CHP.
Gonzalez was pronounced dead at the scene by Los Angeles County Fire Department officials.
The driver of the Accord was not arrested or charged with a crime, according to the CHP statement.
Gonzalez, an alumnus of Covina High School, was an audio communications specialist, said Elder, who lived with him.
"I talked to him before he left (that morning)," Elder said. "He kissed me goodbye and said he loved me."
Gonzalez was running errands when he died, Elder said.
Elder described Gonzalez as a "tech guy" who loved the pursuit of knowledge.
"He really believed knowledge was what fulfilled life," Elder said. "He was just awesome."
Gonzalez is survived by his parents, MariaEsther and Alfredo Gonzalez, and his older sister Priscilla, Elder said.

Q: boost::thread hangs before program even starts? I've set up a new development machine; it's running windows 10 & Visual Studio 2017 community. Installed and built boost (1.64.0, complete build), all good.
I've been using some IPC and everything is good but then I started getting a strange behavior: my programs started to hang at the very start.
I'm dealing with console apps by the way. The program just starts and the cursor blinks as if it was waiting for some user input or if the main thread was sleeping before any output happens. Even though the very first thing all my programs to is to print a header.
After a lot of painful failures trying to identify the problem, I noticed that it only happens when I use any boost.thread functionality. So I thought maybe it's some problem while migrating projects from VS2015 to VS2017; created a brand new project and the same thing happens.
Even when using the simplest of programs (ex. simple thread example)... all I get is a blinking cursor. No matter if I'm building with debug or release profiles and even if try to debug.
VS never arrives at any break point (even when starting the program with the "step into" command!). The "hanging" seems to happen before my code's entry point.
So I hope the question is clear: "what the bleep is going on?"
As mentioned: other boost libraries are working fine, including boost::locale and boost::chrono
--edit: compiles fine, no warnings. Runs "seemingly" fine, no errors and doesn't terminate, just hangs there as if the main thread was sleeping.
--edit 2: full code example:
#include <boost/thread.hpp>
#include <boost/chrono.hpp>
#include <iostream>

void wait(int seconds)
{
  boost::this_thread::sleep_for(boost::chrono::seconds{seconds});
}

void thread()
{
  for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
  {
    wait(1);
    std::cout << i << '\n';
  }
}

int main()
{
  //this point is never reached!!?! Hangs before my own code even starts
  std::cout << "start!" << std::endl;
  boost::thread t{thread};
  t.join();
}

A: OK, got it to work; I just rebuilt boost and it all works fine now. Must have seem some static/dynamic mix up as mentioned in the question program.exe: Native' has exited with code 255 (0xff).
I rebuilt with the following parameters:
b2.exe toolset=msvc-14.1 address-model=32 --build-dir=build\x64 install --prefix="C:\boost" -j4

(and then again for 64bit.

The Canvas Cathedral: A Tent Revival Like No Other
By BGEA • September 13, 2018
Billy Graham's 1949 Los Angeles Crusade was originally scheduled for three weeks, but ended up lasting 57 days and nights. During those eight weeks of meetings, more than 350,000 people attended and over 3,000 made decisions for Christ.
Posters like this one were sent to residents in the Los Angeles area ahead of the Crusade in efforts to draw attendance.
At the time, Billy Graham served as a full-time evangelist for Youth for Christ. This cardboard picture of Cliff Barrows, Billy Graham and George Beverly Shea—along with their signatures—was likely used in publicity for the Los Angeles Crusade. For decades to come, this trio would travel around the world, working as a team and as friends to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
A view of the tent where the Los Angeles Crusade was held. This location soon became known as the Canvas Cathedral. The sides of the tent could be raised for better air circulation. Oddly enough, Los Angeles weather was unseasonably cold when the Crusade started, causing concern among the local committee. The group prayed for better weather as a sign from God that the meetings should continue. On Oct. 16, the tent got so warm Mr. Graham asked that the sides be raised. After that, the Crusade was extended another week—the first of many extensions. Mr. Graham's 2018 funeral service was held under a large tent in Charlotte, North Carolina, paying homage to the Canvas Cathedral where his notoriety as an evangelist began.
Seating capacity inside the tent was originally 6,000 people, but later expanded to accommodate 7,000. As the Crusade continued, crowds overflowed outside.
In front of the podium Billy Graham preached from was a large Bible display with the Scripture Romans 12:1-2 painted on it.
"I do not believe that any man ... can solve the problems of life without Jesus Christ," Billy Graham preached during one of the services. "There are tremendous marital problems, there are physical problems, there are financial problems, there are problems of sin and habit that cannot be solved outside the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. Have you trusted Christ Jesus as Savior?"
News of the Los Angeles meetings spread rapidly across the city—and soon, the nation. In this telegraph from June 10, 1945, William Randolph Hearst encouraged editors of his newspapers nationwide to give favorable coverage to Youth for Christ events. It's been reported that Hearst sent a similar telegram during the 1949 Los Angeles Crusade, prompting editors to give the event front page coverage. Competing newspapers soon followed.
Recalling the Crusade in his autobiography, Billy Graham said: "Reporters were on hand to cover every meeting, and press accounts were positive. People came to the meetings for all sorts of reasons, not just religious ones. No doubt some were simply curious to see what was going on. Others were skeptical and dropped by just to confirm their prejudices. Many were desperate over some crises in their lives and hoped they might get a last chance to set things right."
Night after night crowds continued to pack the tent as the meetings gained momentum. "The Los Angeles Crusade has humbled and driven me to my knees as never before," Billy Graham said.
"Drained as I was, physically, mentally, and emotionally, I experienced God's unfailing grace in perpetual spiritual renewal," Billy Graham wrote in Just As I Am. "I wanted the Campaign to close, but I was convinced that God wanted it to continue. All my personal reserves were used up; I had to put my entire dependence on the Lord for the messages to preach and the strength to preach them. It seemed that the weaker my body became, the more powerfully God used my simple words."
Meetings carried over so long, Billy Graham celebrated his 31st birthday (Nov. 7) in Los Angeles. This newspaper clipping from the Los Angeles Examiner shows the 70-pound cake made for Mr. Graham. The cake was donated to the local Union Rescue Mission to feed the less fortunate.
War hero and Olympian Louis Zamperini was one of many well-known figures who came to Christ at the 1949 Los Angeles Crusade. After making his decision, Zamperini talked to a crowd about the horrors he faced at war. "And then I came back and forgot all the promises I had made to God," he said. See how Zamperini's faith story unfolded in two BGEA-produced short films: Canvas Cathedral and Louis Zamperini: Captured by Grace.
On Nov. 7, 1983—also Mr. Graham's 65th birthday—he stood before a crowd at the same corner where the 1949 Crusade took place to commemorate the historic event. A plaque is in place to this day near Washington Blvd. and Hill St. in downtown Los Angeles.
Almost half of the January 1950 edition of Youth for Christ magazine was all about the Los Angeles meetings. Included was an article written by Mr. Graham. "People have wanted to praise me for what happened at Los Angeles during eight blessed weeks, which ended Sunday November 20," he wrote. "God deserves ALL the glory!" He went on to credit three things for the success of the campaign: "the prayer of God's people, the power of the Holy Spirit [and] the power of the Word of God." Watch Canvas Cathedral for more on how God moved during the 1949 Los Angeles Crusade.

Taiwan Growth Momentum Augurs Well for Singapore
May 13, 2014 IN Press Releases
According to the May 2014 issue of Asia Pacific Economic Outlook by Deloitte University Press, Taiwan is set to have a stronger 2014. SingaporeCompanyIncorporation.sg, a leading incorporation portal, is optimistic that Taiwan's growth momentum augurs well for Singapore businesses.
According to the Outlook, Taiwan economic recovery has picked up between Q3 and Q4 of 2013. The state saw a record growth of 2.9% in Q4 2013, up from 1.3% in the previous quarter. In addition, the growth momentum continued into the first months of 2014. This is because as an economy dependent on external trade, Taiwan will benefit from the improved economic outlook of the United States and European nations. This, in turn, augurs well for Singapore businesses.
Commenting further, Ms. Cheryl Lee, Operations Manager at SingaporeCompanyIncorporation.sg said, "Singapore businesses have many opportunities to tap from Taiwan's expected higher economic growth this year and are in good stead to benefit from stronger economic relations between Taiwan and Singapore."
Singapore companies to benefit from Taiwan's growth
Taiwan's growth momentum is expected to be strong going ahead, given the improvement in the macroeconomic scenario in the United States and Euro Zone nations. According to a Reuters report titled 'U.S. job growth jumps, but shrinking labor force a blemish,' U.S. recently recorded a massive growth of 288,000 in its non-farm payrolls, a strong economic indicator of the country. Similarly, data from a BBC report 'Eurozone GDP growth gathers speed' showed that the Eurozone's recovery moved up a gear, Germany and France grew between 0.3% and 1.3% in 2013, after periods of contraction and recession.
As a result, Taiwan's exports that have benefited from the higher outbound trade include electronics, machinery, textiles and food services. "The higher economic growth of Taiwan is expected to boost business for Singapore companies in the days to come," said Ms. Lee.
Strong business ties
The networking session organized by the Singapore Business Federation (SBF) last week brought some 150 Singapore and Taiwanese business representatives together on a common ground to discuss possible business partnerships. The business talks were primarily held for tapping the opportunities in the nearby economies. Taiwan, known for its pioneering electronic products and Singapore with its logistics and supply chain management expertise can leverage their respective advantages to expand business in emerging economies.
According to the economic division of Taipei's representative office in Singapore, Singapore is Taiwan's fifth largest trading partner, fourth largest export market and the eighth largest import market. The new business partnership agreement between Singapore and Taiwan – ASTEP, highlighted recently during a seminar last month cover a wide range of areas from custom procedures to e-commerce to competition policies.
"Taiwan's higher growth momentum and the bilateral trade talks between Singapore and Taiwan concluded recently will only strengthen the existing economic co-operation between the two Southeast Asian nations. The result would predominantly drive synergies by mutual collaboration in a wide range of industries. Companies incorporated in Singapore will immensely benefit from the dynamics of this scenario," concluded Ms. Lee.

"Mrs. Clinton has a 75% approval rating among Democrats, an unfinished mission to be the first female president, and a personal grievance against Mr. Trump, whose supporters pilloried her with chants of "Lock her up!" This must be avenged."
Avenged? Is that a reason for running?
To which (or is it, to the Witch I say), good luck?
Yes, Hillary running in 2020 is the gift that keeps on giving. 75% approval rating...I don't think so. If it's that high why do the Dems just want her to go away. Her health is another factor, she can hardly stand up now.
Thank goodness she is not represented as the first Woman President. I love women and it would be terrific if Ivanka Trump became the first woman President.
Green tinged with a wart on her nose. Seriously it's not hard to imagine.
Democrats would be very stupid to run her again. She is really crooked, and the voters have to acknowledge that after all that has transpired. She is really OLD school politician.
In addition, she makes a big splash and then at the last minute gets kicked to the curb by an unknown- TWICE. First time she got dumped by Obama, and the second time she got dumped by Trump.
The MSM might want her to run, as they would get a lot of advertising money, but the dem donors might think twice about a third run.
Well, I hate to be a wet blanket, but I wouldn't be so sure. If that crazy Cortez or whatever her name is got elected, I wonder what we are dealing with. I just checked my Passport to be sure it's valid! I am selling the house. My school board just passed a $450,000,000 school bond issue by telling the voters "It won't increase your taxes"! Anything is possible.
Did you notice, she threw her hat back into the ring the day after all the voting shenanigans started?
I think last week's election was a dry run for 2020, and if something isn't done to stop all the fraud, the Republicans can forget about ever running for office again.
I hate to say this, but Hillary has a very powerful machine that will raise buckets of money, and she'll crush the newbies like Harris and Booker. If, as advertised, she returns to her socialist roots and outBernies Bernie, there's no place for anyone to run to the left. I would not be surprised to see her get the nomination.
She will likely raise high money but money alone is not a guarantee for being elected.
She had plenty of money when she ran before but she wilted against Obama then Trump.
Jeb Bush blew a $100 million and he was not even close to reaching the WH.
She has a potent list of connections that can swing things for her, and remember she bought the nomination last time. If the DNC is as strapped as it was last time, she can do it again.
What's her competition? Biden is a gaffe machine that never knows when to shut up, and likes to paw little girls entirely too much. She shuts out Bernie by being even further to the left than him. Harris and Booker are pathetic. Garcetti runs Los Angeles, which is the poorest, dirtiest city west of the Mississippi. Holden is entirely unlikable and arrogant with a chip on his shoulder. O'Rourke (the "new Kennedy") is completely inexperienced Oprah is not as willing as Trump to lose the billionaire lifestyle even temporarily. Michelle Obama is still smarting from the criticism she took as first lady. Bloomberg could outspend her, but is as unliked west of New York City as George Soros. The rest are no-name wannabes who couldn't raise the cash.
Obama sprang out of nowhere and was able to arrest the Clinton machine.
Nothing to fear from Hillary. She's a joke, but does seem to have the DNC by the cojones. Obama was a well-preened, strategically planned dark horse. He was well financed from the start. The idea that he magically sprang from out of nowhere is fiction.
I have no illusions that Obama was selected, well financed and placed.
My post reflected the fact that the prime candidate of the left in 2008 was H Clinton just like in 2016. Not Obama.
During the early debates between the two in 2008, H Clinton demanded to "check" on Obama's statements. This played out before the eyes of the country and the animosity between the two hit the highest levels. Bill stepped in as well. Of course the left has forgotten that. Very early on, in fact. When it was unearthed that Harry Reid made the comment that ":Obama did not have the N accent" therefore was an acceptable "black man" (can't remember his exact words) Obama dismissed it by "I know what is in his heart."
Saudi Arabia financed Obama's Harvard Education thru a project called HUMA.
Valerie Jarrett is his handler.
His grandparents were communists and fired during WW11 for sabotaging the production line at a military eguipment manufacturer in wichita Kansas . He was indoctrinated by Frank Marshall Davis.His mother Stanley Ann Dunham attended the little red school house on Mercer Island Wa.
There is a breaking report of 20,000 ballots for Hillary 2020 being found yesterday. VBG; sarcasm intended.
I am very tired of her. She should retire now. A good woman knows her limitations. What does that say for her?
She is floating a trial balloon. But in the past, she was kicked to the side at the last minute by Obama and then Trump. Theres a message there. The same thing would happen to her again, I suspect, by ORourke or Cortez.
Yes, it was a trial balloon.
It appeared in the WSJ by two of her lackeys. Many commentators said "I hope Clinton and her promoters are reading this."
The response to the "balloon" was not pretty.
I think in the end, she likes the fact that supporters are excited that she might run, but I think she will find some way to NOT actually go through the agaony of defeat one MORE time.
Have to do more than "hope and pray".
Why people use this expression all the time is beyond me. When there is a tragedy with people dead, the standard solace is "sending you our prayers and thoughts". When there is a difficult situation facing the country, people "hope and pray".
What effect is expected from that "effort"?
She thinks when she is indicted she can say it is political. It will not work. Down she goes. She will be locked up until she is executed for treason.
The WSJ took off the article from the front page (where else) in record time.
The comments ranged anywhere from incredulous to absolute ridicule.
I suspect it was a test of how people would react: they received their answer unequivocally against her.
Ding dong the wicked witch, the wicked witch, the wicked witch...ding dong the wicked witch is kick off the front page!
They call it floating a trial balloon. I say, let her run and get her final dumping along the way.
Her popularity will only plunge further as evidence is revealed. She is one Evil witch.
If she runs, the ambulance will follow her at every step.
The worst thing for Hillary is that people will just ignore her or kick her to the curb AGAIN at the last minute.
I'm hoping somebody effective will run against Trump in the primary, but republicans are a very cowardly lot.
And who would be more "effective" in your imagination?
She needs a new hobby.

Automobile parade
Parade of automobiles
The first annual automobile parade, held on November 4, 1899 by the Automobile Club of America, in downtown Manhattan. At least ten different makes and models are seen, including electric and steam powered machines. In the background is Madison Square Garden. As the cars pass, turning towards the right side of the screen, cyclists and pedestrians can also be seen, including a man on a motorized tricycle. About one minute into the film, a carriage pulled by a white horse is driven past the camera, and a horse-drawn hansom cab is seen waiting for the parade to pass.

Over the years we have designed and made a lot of different styles , sizes and kinds of medicine bags / amulet bags for our customers. Each individual has a purpose and reason why they need a special bag in their life. Some are for a special stone, crystal or medicines ( like sage, cedar , tobacco or whatever is their favorite). They can be used to keep a special piece of jewelry in while traveling. There are so many ways to use them. The reason to say "special medicine bags " is because they are special , just for you or can be given as a gift and cherished forever.
I do many beaded medicine bags. Some with totems of a special kind like wolf paw totems, bear claw totems , turtle totems or sometimes just a nice colorful chevron. Whatever speaks to your heart.
This week I worked on a sweet small white buckskin medicine bag that has a lot of glass crow beads and tin cones on it. I liked it so much I made another one and added it to our shop . It dances and sings. Why? Because of the long fringes with the beads and cones. They jingle a nice song!
This kind of special medicine bag can be worn around the neck or it could be used for home decoration. It would be a special keepsake gift for a special friend.
Fringed white medicine bag with glass beads and cones.
This is a small neck bag with beaded chevrons. A very simple and beautiful small leather pouch.
To see more of our small pouches come by our online stores and check out what we have. If you need something special made up just let us know we do special custom orders.
We have created many things this week. One of my favorites is the brown medicine bag with the beaded sunflower, double cut fringe off the bottom of the bag and a 36 inch neck strap. What is a medicine bag? That is something I used to be asked when I did art shows. We have sold these bags to many people from all over the world. They would tell us I need this for my favorite stone, crystal, carved fetish, to keep my wedding rings in while traveling or even the tooth fairy. Yes , the tooth fairy. I thought what a cute idea. Making losing a tooth an even more special event.
I have used mine to keep a special feather, rock , medicine like sage, cedar or whatever in. It all depends on what your needs are. You can make a special prayer and wear it or carry it with you reminding you of what your intent is. So medicine bags or amulet bags are totally multi purpose.
John and I have a lot of different sizes and kinds of medicine bags. Some are beaded some are plain, we make custom ones to fit the needs of our customer friends. Sometimes we put a turtle, bear claw or wolf totem on. I also do four direction beadwork with your colors where you like them.
Recently we found some carved antler tips from a friends store Ted Parker from Antler and Ivory and I made this small medicine bag.
Come by and see us on Etsy . You will find a wide assortment of leather handbags, beaded leather bags, medicine bags, pipe and flute bags and much more.
It's getting close to time to be thinking about the Holiday season. Not that any of us need an excuse to buy beautiful handmade items. Today lets talk about the smaller items that can be a gift for a small child to an adult. Like this beaded leather pouch that is a double drawstring pouch with earthy colors and measures 5 inches tall x 4 inches wide. Small bags and pouches can be used in a variety of different ways. They can hold your special stone or crystal, be worn around your neck as a necklace bag or whatever your needs may be. In our shop we off a wide variety of different sizes and styles of leather pouches in different colors of leather and beadwork. We have dragonfly bags, turtles bags , bags with fringe and plain leather pouches.
This small pouch measures approximately 3 inches tall x 2 inches wide and has a splash of bead work on the bottom. It is made in saddle tan elkskin leather.
This is just two of the small pouches we offer in our Etsy shop to see more go here.


At the beginning of the new millennium, Microsoft dominated the computer operating system space but was beginning to face competition from Linux/UNIX, which was considered less user-friendly but more secure. In the past, security hadn't been a big deal because most computers were operated either as completely standalone machines or as part of a closed local network.
But in the late 90s, that had started to change. The Internet had evolved from a relatively exclusive domain populated mostly by an elite group of government and academic employees and geeky computer hobbyists to a commercialized global venue. The blessing/curse of advertising and economies of scale had made it affordable to consumers and everybody suddenly wanted a ride on the Information Highway.
Of course, this created a very attractive hunting ground for technically savvy criminals as well as mischievous teenaged hackers, and viruses and worms began to proliferate. Security – which had been considered only as an afterthought if at all – seemingly overnight became a Very Big Deal. In 2002, Microsoft got serious about security, launching the Trustworthy Computing initiative.
At the Microsoft MVP Summits back in that time period, those of us who specialized in enterprise security were treated like royalty. We had the best parties, the best gifts, and we always got the "rock star" speakers such as Steve Riley and Mark Russinovich at our conference sessions.
At that time, Microsoft was heavily invested in a whole line of security-related software products that were marketed under the Forefront family umbrella, including our beloved Threat Management Gateway (TMG), the company's enterprise-level firewall and proxy server that evolved out of the Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server that was designed to be Microsoft's counterpoint to Check Point, the leading software firewall at the time.
Those were the glory days. As we've progressed into the second decade of the twenty-first century, things have changed. Microsoft has discontinued most of the Forefront line of products. In 2012, the company dismayed many of its customers, as well as MVPs, consultants and partners who had built careers around ISA/TMG, by announcing that they were discontinuing their firewall software.
For Microsoft, it was a business strategy that made sense in the context of their new "cloud first" philosophy. In regard to "legacy" on-premises server installations, more and more of the features formerly found in separately-purchased security products are being added into the server operating system itself. It's a win/win for companies that now don't have to pay extra to get those benefits.
In 2014, as part of its restructuring program that included a large number of layoffs, Microsoft shut down the Trustworthy Computing Group.
It's not that the job market for those with security expertise is down. On the contrary, demand for "cybersecurity" personnel is high in comparison with other IT jobs, and salaries are high, as well. But the reason for that is that there is a serious shortage of people with the requisite skills, and unfortunately many of those who have years of IT security experience find that their skills don't fit the new positions.
The problem is that so many old-school security pros are focused on outdated technologies such as firewall administration. Today's network environment is less about setting up a fortress at the perimeter and more about protecting data where it resides, as it moves from one location to another over the network and when it's in use. The old concept of "computer security," as its name suggests, focused on securing systems. The new paradigm is much more complex.
The cloud, of course, is one of the factors that has brought many changes to how we look at computing and in turn, how we think about security. Increasingly, much of our data and applications are residing on servers in data centers "somewhere out there" and physical control of those servers has shifted from in-house IT staffs to cloud provider personnel. At the same time, we still bear the burden of the final responsibility for the security of our assets even though we have less hands-on control over it.
Once upon a time we could wrap a protective layer of security mechanisms around a local network or subnet of computers – most of which were standardized with the same operating systems, applications and configurations – that were located within one physical and logical area. Today, our business networks are made up of all sorts of different types of hardware devices (desktop systems, laptops, tablets, smart phones) made by many different vendors that are running different operating systems and a wide variety of both business and consumer apps. Many aren't even owned by the company but are purchased by employees and used for work as part of a BYOD program.
This highly mobile and much more independent workforce brings brand new security challenges that can't be dealt with using the old tactics. At the same time, the hackers and attackers are growing much more sophisticated. Malware has evolved far beyond the simple viruses and worms of yesterday. Cybercrime has turned into an organized and highly lucrative industry of its own, much of it perpetrated by foreign interests, including nation-states with a vast amount of funding.
Yet many security professionals are still operating as if we were stuck in the 90s. A survey conducted by ESG in early 2014 indicated that a large percentage of security professionals were not familiar with Command & Control (C&C) techniques, polymorphic and metamorphic malware, and a surprising 29 percent weren't even very familiar with zero day malware.
If you read the paragraph above and said, "What's that?" then you just might be one of those security pros whose skills are in need of a little updating.
Good news for security experts tends to be bad news for computer users and businesses. The good and bad news circa 2015 is that there are new forces that are once again driving security to the forefront (so to speak) of IT.
One of the most important of these is the highly regulated environment in which so many organizations now operate. Government and industry mandates mean that a large number of companies can no longer view strong security as an option; they have no choice except to invest in better security if they want to stay in business and avoid sanctions, fines, lawsuits or even, in some cases, criminal charges.
This is bad news for those companies because meeting security compliance guidelines can be frustrating and confusing – not to mention costly. It's good news for security professionals who recognize the opportunity because most organizations need someone to help them with the process, either on staff or as a consultant. Many organizations are struggling to navigate the treacherous waters of compliance and are looking for experts, particularly those with specialized expertise in particular vertical markets such as health care and financial services.
Most regulatory compliance issues are aimed at protecting the personal data of clients, patients, etc. Data breaches can have serious ramifications not only for the individuals whose sensitive information is exposed but also for the companies or organizations that allow it to happen. In addition to penalties imposed by the regulators, such companies can find themselves with severe public relations problems and loss of business as their reputations suffer.
The good news, for security pros who are willing to learn new ways of working, is that the new security skillset will be more in demand than ever.
To remain relevant and thrive in this brave new world of cloud-centric, user-driven, multi-device IT, professionals must start to think globally, both literally and figuratively. It's vital that you keep up with the ever-changing threat landscape as well as new means of protecting against more traditional threats.
Because the focus is on protecting data, security professionals have to change their mindsets from the idea that security is only about keeping things out (malware, viruses, etc.) and understand that it's also about keeping things (protected data) in. Mechanisms for filtering and blocking outboard traffic have become just as important as those designed to detect and prevent threats from coming into the network or device.
Most important, though, today's cybersecurity expert will need to develop soft skills in addition to technical how-how. Understanding network protocols and infrastructures and software vulnerabilities and exploits is still a requirement but it's no longer enough. You'll need both excellent analytical skills and the ability to communicate effectively with people at all levels within and outside the organization and make highly complex concept understandable to non-technical individuals.
More and more, the distinction between IT pro and developer is blurring, and security pros who consider themselves to be squarely in one camp or the other may find themselves without a camp at all. Today's security pro needs both an understanding of general programming, secure coding practices and scripting languages as well as a good grasp of networking architecture, administration and management.
Nobody said the transition was going to be easy, but for those who successful make that transition, the future looks bright.

Former Seneca Falls resident produces feature film
Published: 04/28/2015 @ 04:00 am
Tom Skerritt (Top Gun, Alien, MASH) has completed filming on Bass Entertainment Pictures' upcoming feature, DAY OF DAYS. Skerritt stars opposite the only other cast member, relative newcomer, Peruvian actress,Claudia Zevallos (A Better Place). The film was primarily shot on a sound stage utilizing a single set. This purposely-austere production is unlike any film Skerritt has worked on before and he is extremely excited to be a part of the inspirational and thought-provoking project. Inspired by a true story, DAY OF DAYS explores the emotion-filled, day-long, late-in-life selfreflection of Walter Leland (Skerritt), a long-retired city bus driver and WWII veteran. The film examines themes of life, death, faith and self-forgiveness. This was an extraordinarily emotional and demanding role for Skerritt, and is one that he is deeply passionate about. "It's all about the material," said Skerritt. DAY OF DAYS was produced by former Seneca Falls resident Deanna Capone Shapiro of Beautiful Lie Pictures. Shapiro's last film, "A Better Place", won the Best Independent Film Award at the 2015 Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival. "Junkyard Dog", another film produced by Shapiro, starring Vivica A. Fox headlined the Women's International Film Festival in Miami. Among the 10 feature films produced by Shapiro, her first, "The Legend of Cryin' Ryan", was filmed in Seneca Falls and Fairport.Deanna was born in Seneca Falls and attended school there until the family relocated to California in 1979. She is the daughter of Ralph Capone of Waterloo and Peggy Lambert Holder of Seneca Falls. Day of Days is directed by former Utica resident, Kim Bass (In Living Color, Junkyard Dog, Kill Speed).

Background: Job-sharing is one of the most intriguing innovations in the nursing management and administration. This strategy has been introduced to nursing since the late 1970s primarily to empower and retain staff nurses. Job-sharing is a flexible working arrangement which assigns two or more employees (at any levels) sharing the same tasks, responsibilities, and accountabilities, thereby dividing the amount of workload, helping each other, and learning from each other. In the Philippines, especially in nursing, job-sharing is not widely exercised due to some reasons such as organizational structure, costs, and human resource management issues. Since there is only a few number of hospitals which employs the said working arrangement, a need for understanding and knowledge is of importance. The aim of the study is to describe the experiences of the head nurses and staff nurses in the decision-making and communication aspects when job-sharing at the managerial level is employed.
Method and material: A total of 12 nurses (n=4 head nurses and n=8 staff nurses) participated in this phenomenological inquiry. Semi-structured interview and protocol writing were utilized as tools to gather data. Descriptions of experiences among participants were explicated following the Colaizzi's mode of analysis and themes were presented in a table through the process of thematic analysis.
Results and conclusion: The concept 'need' was the main theme of this study. There are six needs that occur from the approach of job-sharing. These needs were sorted from two areas of inquiry – decision-making and communication. The needs in communication include 'the need for identification,' 'the need for compatibility,' and 'the need for belongingness.' On the one hand, the needs for decision-making include 'the need for negotiation,' 'the need for collaboration,' and 'the need for integration.' Further research is necessary to study how these needs exist and sustain job-sharing in nursing.


Loss of life expectancy is highest in Asia, exceeding 6 years in many parts of India and China; some residents of the United States still lose up to a year of life from pollution.
Fossil fuel-driven particulate air pollution cuts global average life expectancy by 1.8 years per person, according to a new pollution index and accompanying report produced by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC). The Air Quality Life Index (AQLI) establishes particulate pollution as the single greatest threat to human health globally, with its effect on life expectancy exceeding that of devastating communicable diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, behavioral killers like cigarette smoking, and even war. Critically, the AQLI reports these results in tangible terms that are relatable for most people.
"Around the world today, people are breathing air that represents a serious risk to their health. But the way this risk is communicated is very often opaque and confusing, translating air pollution concentrations into colors, like red, brown, orange, and green. What those colors mean for people's wellbeing has always been unclear," says Michael Greenstone, the Milton Friedman Distinguished Service Professor in Economics and director of the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago (EPIC).
The AQLI is based on a pair of peer-reviewed studies co-authored by Greenstone that quantify the causal relationship between long-term human exposure to particulate pollution and life expectancy. The results from these studies are then combined with hyper-localized, global particulate matter measurements, yielding unprecedented insight into the true cost of air pollution in communities around the world. The Index also illustrates how air pollution policies can increase life expectancy when they meet the World Health Organization's (WHO) guideline for what is considered a safe level of exposure, existing national air quality standards, or user-defined air quality levels. This information can help to inform local communities and policymakers about the importance of air pollution policies in very concrete terms.
Seventy-five percent of the global population, or 5.5 billion people, live in areas where particulate pollution exceeds the WHO guideline. The AQLI reveals that India and China, which make up 36 percent of the world's population, account for 73 percent of all years of life lost due to particulate pollution. On average, people in India would live 4.3 years longer if their country met the WHO guideline—expanding the average life expectancy at birth there from 69 to 73 years. In the United States, about a third of the population lives in areas not in compliance with the WHO guideline. Those living in the country's most polluted counties could expect to live up to one year longer if pollution met the WHO guideline.
Globally, the AQLI reveals that particulate pollution reduces average life expectancy by 1.8 years, making it the greatest global threat to human health. By comparison, first-hand cigarette smoke leads to a reduction in global average life expectancy of about 1.6 years. Other risks to human health have even smaller effects: alcohol and drugs reduce life expectancy by 11 months; unsafe water and sanitation take off 7 months; and HIV/AIDS, 4 months. Conflict and terrorism take off 22 days. So, the impact of particulate pollution on life expectancy is comparable to that of smoking, twice that of alcohol and drug use, three times that of unsafe water, five times that of HIV/AIDS, and more than 25 times that of conflict and terrorism.
The Index stands apart from most work in this space in a few important respects. Previous efforts to summarize the health effects of air pollution have relied on associational studies that are prone to confounding the effects of air pollution with other determinants of human health. They also relied on extrapolations of associational evidence from the low levels in the United States or on extrapolations from cigarette studies. In contrast, the AQLI's underlying research allows it to isolate the effect of air pollution from other factors that impact health and it does so based on pollution data at the very high concentrations that prevail in many parts of Asia today. Further, the AQLI delivers estimates of the loss of life expectancy for the average person, while other approaches report the number of people who die prematurely, leaving unanswered how much their life was cut short or if they were more predisposed to be impacted from it (e.g. elderly or sick).

Does Technology Widen Generational Gaps?
Advancements in technology may come easy for digital natives like millennials and Generation Z, but are people in older generations being left behind?
Abner Fletcher / Houston Matters / HPM Digital Team
| Posted on July 20, 2018, 2:06 PM (Last Updated: July 20, 2018, 5:45 PM )
Technology develops at a rapid pace these days and it feels like just about everything in the world has some kind of digital component to it. For digital natives like millennials and Generation Z, these advancements might feel somewhat routine… But what about those older generations who didn't grow up with mobile phones, personal computers and the Internet?
Is constantly evolving technology making the learning curve too steep for some people?
From left to right: Javon Brown, Campus Instructional Technologist at Westbury High School; Jeff Cohen, host of Houston Matters; Dwight Silverman, Technology Editor for the Houston Chronicle; and Janet Jackson-McCulloch, founder of Elder Advisory Group.
To dig through multiple aspects of this topic, Houston Matters host Craig Cohen talked Friday with Janet Jackson-McCulloch, founder of Elder Advisory Group; Javon Brown, Campus Instructional Technologist at Westbury High School and Dwight Silverman, Technology Editor for the Houston Chronicle.
For Jackson-McCulloch, there is "a real generation gap when it comes to being comfortable adopting new technology."
Although there are people in their 70s or 80 s who use their computers every day and some enjoy using services such as Netflix, Jackson-McCulloch thinks that the learning process for human beings is an important factor because "we learn things early in life" and therefore "it can be really challenging for older adults to try and tackle technology."
Talking about the other side of the coin, meaning today's young people, Brown underscored that "they're far more advanced than, you know, than students ten to twenty years ago and beyond, and they're far more comfortable with using that technology."
"So, as we integrate that into the classroom, they tend to pick up on it and they tend to embrace and want to learn more," Brown added.
For Silverman, the generation gap generated by the rapid pace of changing technology may exist but, at the same time, it's not set in stone that every young person is technology savvy and all old people struggle to use such technology.
"There's kind of the stereotype," Silverman commented I think, that older people aren't into technology, but many of them find things in technology that help them quite a bit and I think there's the stereotype that, if you are a millennial or younger, that you've grown up with technology and you are one hundred percent comfortable with it and I don't think that that's true necessarily either."

The Battle of Ball's Bluff
October 21, 2016 WalterCoffey Military, Virginia 11 comments
October 21, 1861 – Federal forces suffered another horrific defeat when they were driven off a cliff overlooking the Potomac River.
Col Edward D. Baker | Image Credit: Wikimedia.org
Brigadier General Charles P. Stone sent Federal troops across the river to conduct his planned reconnaissance in force. The initial force consisted of 300 men under Colonel Charles Devens, with orders to seize the supposedly vulnerable Confederate camps at Leesburg, about 35 miles upriver from Washington. When Devens reported seeing no Confederates in the area, Stone dispatched more troops under Colonel Edward D. Baker, a politician-turned officer with no combat experience. Stone instructed Baker to withdraw if confronted by a strong enemy force.
By that time, Devens had encountered a token Confederate force and begun skirmishing. His men took up defensive positions behind a fence. When Baker received this information, he ordered his entire brigade of 1,640 men to cross the river in support. Meanwhile, Stone's planned diversionary force landed at Edwards's Ferry, with Stone himself directing operations from there.
Baker sent his men up the steep bluff and, rather than bolster Devens's defenses behind the fence, took up positions in the clearing with his back to the 80-foot cliffs and ordered Devens to form on his right. Although Baker estimated the Confederate force to be more than twice his size, he ignored Stone's order and resolved to stand his ground. Baker remained at the front as the troops exchanged fire until around 4 p.m., when Confederates emerged from the nearby woods and shot him dead.
Baker's Death at Ball's Bluff | Image Credit: Wikipedia.org
As the remaining Federal officers debated whether to stay or retreat, the Confederates charged, shouting, "Drive them into the Potomac or into eternity!" The Federals turned and fled toward the cliffs, and mass panic ensued as many fell to their deaths. For those who managed to scale down the steep wall, several drowned when their boats were swamped. Others were killed by Confederates firing down from atop the bluff.
At Edwards's Ferry, Stone was unaware of the disaster unfolding because Baker had not informed him of the situation before being killed. Stone decided not to send his men to help because a Confederate force blocked the road and he received a report grossly exaggerating Confederate strength. Stone asked Major General George B. McClellan to send Brigadier General George A. McCall's men from Dranesville, but McClellan had not informed him that McCall's force was withdrawn earlier that day.
The Federals sustained 921 casualties (49 killed, 158 wounded, and 714 missing) out of 1,720. Of the missing, 529 were captured; the rest were presumed drowned. Many bodies drowned drifted downriver, with some even reaching Washington. Those captured included Major Paul J. Revere of the 20th Massachusetts, grandson of Paul Revere. Other casualties included a nephew of James Russell Lowell and Lieutenant Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
The Confederates lost just 155 (36 killed, 117 wounded, and two captured) out of 1,709. Colonel Nathan G. "Shanks" Evans, commanding the Confederate force, received a promotion to brigadier general for the skillful handling of his men.
Lincoln was at McClellan's headquarters when the news came via telegraph that Baker, one of his closest friends, had been killed. McClellan told the grieving president, "There is many a good fellow that wears the shoulder-straps going under the sod before this thing is over. If I should get knocked on the head, Mr. President, you will put another man immediately into my shoes." Lincoln replied, "I want you to take care of yourself."
Baker's death made him a martyr and masked his questionable judgment and conduct during the engagement. Northerners outraged about another military disaster ultimately shifted their blame to Stone.
