Pakistan's Cyril Almeida named 71st IPI Press Freedom Hero
Respected columnist faces treason charges for coverage of civil-military relations and militancy in Pakistan
Cyril Almeida, an editor and columnist with Pakistan's Dawn newspaper facing treason charges following his tenacious coverage of the Pakistani state's patronage of militant groups, has been named the International Press Institute (IPI)'s 71st World Press Freedom Hero.
IPI and International Media Support (IMS) also announced the Egyptian news site Mada Masr as the recipient of the 2019 Free Media Pioneer Award. Mada Masr has courageously defied Egypt's media crackdown to deliver independent, investigative news to a public otherwise starved of it.
Both awards, which for the past five years have been given in partnership with IMS, will be presented during a special ceremony on June 5 in Geneva, Switzerland, during IPI's annual World Congress and General Assembly.
IPI's World Press Freedom Hero Award honours journalists who have made significant contributions to the promotion of press freedom, particularly in the face of great personal risk.
A Rhodes scholar with a law degree from Oxford University, Almeida briefly worked as a lawyer in Pakistan before entering journalism. After joining Dawn, a highly respected English-language publication, he quickly gained a reputation as one of the country's most brilliant analysts.
In particular, it is Almeida's critical coverage of Pakistan's powerful military and its direct or indirect involvement in political affairs – an extraordinarily risky and, for many, taboo subject in the country – that has won him admiration and legions of followers. Such is Almeida's influence that he is "read by everyone who matters in Pakistan", even those in the government and security establishment, as one observer recently put it.
Almedia's scrutiny of the Pakistani military-security complex has made both him and Dawn a target. In 2016, Almeida was banned from leaving the country after publishing an exclusive story in Dawn on a rift between Pakistan's civilian government and the military over the latter's protection of certain extremist groups. The story prompted enormous controversy in Pakistan. Both Almeida and Dawn's top editor were subjected to a widespread smear campaign and dragged before a military-initiated tribunal in an effort to force Dawn to reveal its sources.
Last year, Almeida was charged with treason and again banned from leaving the country after publishing an interview with former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, in which Sharif indirectly suggested that Pakistan's military aided the militants who carried out the 2008 terrorist attack in Mumbai, India, which led to 160 deaths. Proceedings in the case remain open. Treason is a potentially capital offence in Pakistan.
The retaliation against Almeida and Dawn for their reporting comes amid a rapidly deteriorating environment for the press in Pakistan. The range of threats includes physical attacks on journalists; legal harassment; the widespread disruption of newspaper distribution; and the effective blockading of independent broadcasters. IPI warned in 2018 that the Pakistani military had stepped up efforts to control the flow of information and quell scrutiny of its activities.
"Press freedom in Pakistan is under severe and sustained attack, without precedent during eras of civilian governments and the worst in the country since an oppressive military dictatorship in the 1980s", Almeida said. "The state's tolerance for and patronage of externally focused militant groups and a renewed erosion of democracy by the predominant military are issues of fundamental public importance – but coverage and commentary on those issues in the independent media now draws severe state retaliation."
He added: "I am grateful to the IPI-IMS jury for its acknowledgment of the fight to preserve and protect media freedom in Pakistan. What has been inflicted on Dawn and me is one strand of a wider, systemic repression of the media in Pakistan."
IPI Executive Director Barbara Trionfi said Almeida embodied the dedication to press freedom and courageous public-interest journalism shared by all of IPI's Heroes.
"Cyril Almeida has demonstrated tremendous resolve in tackling – at great risk to himself – deeply contentious issues that are nevertheless of central importance to Pakistan's democracy, not least the role of the military in shaping the country's present and future", she said. "The response to his reporting has been a campaign of intolerance and state repression. Despite the press freedom crisis engulfing Pakistan, he, and Dawn newspaper, have refused to back down from writing about issues that matter."
She added: "We urge Pakistani authorities to immediately drop all charges against Cyril Almeida. Bringing treason charges against a journalist for interviewing a former prime minister is as dangerous as it is absurd, and constitutes a gross violation of journalists' right to disseminate information in the public interest."
Almeida is IPI's second World Press Freedom Hero from Pakistan, after Aslam Ali, the former managing director of Pakistan Press International.
The 2018 World Press Freedom Hero Award was given to Angolan journalist Rafael Marques de Morais, who has braved decades of harassment and prosecution to expose corruption and human rights abuses in his country.

Although the existence of food chemical sensitivity in a sub-group of asthmatics has been reported for at least half a century, the long term effect of removal of those food chemicals from the diet of susceptible individuals has not been well documented. The two studies described herein both address this aspect of diet and asthma.
The aim of the first study (pilot study) was to document food chemical sensitivity in selected asthmatics and to assess them for objective improvement in asthma over a period of four months. Subjects were required to adhere strictly to an elimination diet, which excluded food chemicals known to cause food intolerance, for one month before, and also during, challenge with those food chemicals most likely to exacerbate symptoms of asthma. A modified diet was individually prescribed for each subject following the challenges which eliminated only those chemicals to which there was a positive reaction as determined by clinical observations and spirometric measurements. Subjects were then requested to adhere to this modified diet for a minimum period of three months. Bronchial responsiveness to histamine was used as a measure of asthma severity before entry to the study, after one month of the elimination diet and after three months of the modified diets. There was a statistically significant mean improvement in bronchial responsiveness at both one month on the elimination diet and three months on the modified diets compared with initial readings.
The results of this pilot study suggested that elimination of food chemicals could reduce bronchial responsiveness to histamine, and thus the severity of asthma, which could be sustained. However, the method of assessment was long and tedious and clinical experience has shown that many patients are unwilling to undertake extended periods of severe dietary restriction in spite of the potential benefits. Recent research in England showed that, in some asthmatics with a history of asthma following ingestion of specific foods, bronchial responsiveness to histamine was significantly increased immediately following ingestion of the relevant food chemical. They suggested that this increased bronchial responsiveness was indicative of sensitivity and could be used in the diagnosis of food chemical sensitivity in asthmatics. An important advantage of this alternative method was that the subject was not required to adhere to an elimination diet prior to challenge. Thus, the aim of the second study was to assess the reliability of this alternative method by comparing it with the results of food chemical challenges using the tried and proven method as outlined in the pilot study. In order to compare the two methods, each subject was required to complete both.
There was no correlation between the results of the two methods with respect to metabisulphite-sensitive asthmatics. However, it was not possible to extend this observation to other food chemicals because there were insufficient responders to support a statistical analysis. Another finding of this study was that, unlike the pilot study, there was no statistically significant mean improvement in bronchial responsiveness after one month on the elimination diet or after three months on the modified diets. A comparison of subjects in the two groups revealed that the only significant difference was more frequent use of bronchodilators in the subjects of the pilot study. This could indicate greater instability and thus more scope for improvement.

Piazza Émile Chanoux
Coffee and ruins in the valley of Augustus
Aosta holds a prime position on the borders of France and Switzerland that gave it considerable strategic importance to the Roman Empire. Situated in a valley at the confluence of the Great and the Little St Bernard passes, Aosta is a classic Italian town modelled on a Roman plan.
Aosta is the principal city of the Valle d'Aosta — the Valley of Augustus named after the Roman Emperor Augustus. The ancient Roman town walls of the Augusta Prætoria Salassorum are still preserved almost in their entirety. The main road divides the city into two halves, running from east to west. This arrangement was created to make guarding the road priority of the town. The town is a mix of modern and ancient with the façade of the Roman theatre that held up to 4000 spectators still remaining amongst other contemporary buildings.
Mountain at the end of the street
The Piazza Émile Chanoux in the centre of town is classically Italian and great place to stop and enjoy the views, the architecture and a beverage. Home to the town hall, its name belies its beauty and many cafes and shops the piazza is on the route towards the town's ruins.
As well as access to France via the Little St Bernard pass, Aosta is also a short motorway hop away from Courmayeur and the Mont Blanc tunnel. This makes it a busy through fare for trade and the perfect stopping point for culture and espresso on a loop of the three countries.
Porta Pretoria
Aosta streets
As well as cafes and ruins, a busy industrial area can be found by the motorway with an unusual addition of a cable car. Aosta sits in a valley with plenty of mountains to be explored on either side. The cable car in Aosta runs to Pila, a winter and summer resort high on the southern side of the valley. Aosta also sits on the southern side of the Mont Blanc range and if the weather is poor in France, it's a short trip through the tunnel to the often sunny Italian side. The weather and the coffee are better in Italy.

Girls more apt to suffer behavioral problems after concussions
by Shollenberger Januzzi & Wolfe, LLP | Oct 23, 2014 | Medical Malpractice
Much has been said about the dangers of concussions in football, particularly in high school where in the past, many students suffered concussions but were not diagnosed. As research about concussions has progressed, it has come to light that girls playing sports are just as susceptible to suffering traumatic brain injuries while playing basketball, soccer, and most importantly, cheerleading.
However, a recent Time.com article highlighted a study finding that girls are more susceptible to having behavioral problems after suffering a concussion. The study chronicled more than 9,000 Canadian adolescents from 7th grade through 12th grade who suffered traumatic brain injuries. They found that girls who suffered these injuries were more likely to binge drink, smoke cigarettes, experience psychological distress and be the target of bullying.
Even more troubling, girls were more likely to report contemplating suicide.
Because of these dangers, having safety plans in place is becoming increasingly important for girls playing sports. Schools have a duty to keep their students safe by enforcing rules, doing diagnoses to discover concussions, and developing protocols to treat head injuries. Failing to do these things could be considered a breach of this duty of care, which could lead to liability.
Indeed, there is still work to be done with regard developing reliable tests, but the prevention aspect is becoming ever so important given the potential for post-concussion development issues.
If you have questions about concussions and the legal implications that follow undiagnosed concussions or improper safety protocols that lead to them, an experienced personal injury attorney can help.

The recently completed Open Championship at Royal Birkdale still has me shaking my head in amazement. The drama of the last hour of the tournament served as a fitting example of why the game of golf is the most extraordinary game on earth. Do you remember back in March when the entire golfing world was convinced that Dustin Johnson was the new dominant player on tour? And just last month, Brooks Koepka emerged as a new superstar with his somewhat surprising victory in the U.S. Open. But wait, we can't forget about Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and Rickie Fowler. Nope, this tournament re-aligned the stars in the galaxy and made it clear that the man everybody is chasing is still Jordan Spieth. He is unflappable, and the emotions he displays on the golf course makes for terrific theater. I wasn't home to watch the entire final round of the tournament. However, I had it recorded in case I missed one of those great moments in championship golf. Low and behold, I returned home and tuned in as Spieth drained a long birdie putt on the 16th hole to take a two-shot lead. No real surprise, I thought, considering he had a three-shot lead to begin the day. What I didn't realize at the time, was that just two holes earlier he was trailing Matt Kuchar by a stroke. A birdie on the 17th hole all but wrapped up the tournament, and he went on to cruise to a comfortable three-stroke victory. Golfers aren't typically thought of as being tough, especially those as clean cut and friendly as Spieth. But make no mistake about it, Spieth is tough as nails. Many of you may remember his collapse in the 2016 Masters. Beginning the back nine with a large lead, Spieth went bogey-bogey-quadruple bogey to essentially lose the tournament right then to eventual winner Danny Willet. As he stood on the 14th tee in the final round of the Open Championship, Spieth was four-over par for his final round, and the Masters collapse of 2016 had to be looming large in his head. It wasn't, and that is why Spieth deserves a huge amount of respect for winning this championship. He is a fighter, a competitor, and champion, and an all-around nice guy. For those of you with young sons who are learning to play this wonderful game, do yourselves a favor and introduce them to Spieth. He is a champion in every sense of the word.

Bosie's Not Got The Foggiest
Blathering bozo Boris Johnson proves himself as stupid as ever in being unable to answer a very simple question on Monday
Appearing alongside the former Labour politician and birdbrain of Brexit Gisela Stuart – whom brazenly boasted "Boris and I shared a bus for four months" as she introduced him on Monday afternoon – Boris Johnson made an utter prat of himself at the Fergusons Transport Sunderland depot in Washington, Tyne & Wear.
'Bosie The Clown,' in his typically bombastic fashion, surrounded himself by planted apparatchiks and sympathetic employees of Alan Ferguson OBE – a businessman who has previously associated with the 'Coward of Brexit' David Cameron and the dimwit expenses loving Tory, Anne-Marie Trevelyan.
Boris Johnson was introduced by the ex-Labour politician turned Tory advising turncoat The Right Honourable Gisela Stuart on Monday 9th December 2019.
When asked a question by someone who'd slipped through the net about the Conservatives setting up or being linked to fake websites about the election, Johnson lost his cool.
To begin, the "man who isn't sure if he has five or six kids" according to Wikipedia answered: "I haven't the foggiest" and then as part of an attempt to shut the woman questioning him up, continued: "I've already answered this. You must know. You should know, in fact, go online and look." Flustered Bosie then exited stage left.
Pictured top: Boris Johnson's backdrop was a heap of tyres and a bus emblazoned with the ludicrously preposterous (and totally unachievable by him) tagline: "Unleash Britain's Potential."

Native American Tribes & the Indian History in Tabiona, Utah
Post category:Native Americans in Utah
Far before the terms Native American or Indian were necessary, the tribes were spread all over the Americas. Before any white man set foot on this territory, it was settled by the forefathers of bands we now call Sioux, or Cherokee, or Iroquois.
For centuries, the American Indian developed its customs and heritage without interference. And that history is fascinating.
From Mayan and Incan ruins, from the mounds left in the central and southern regions of what's today the U.S. we have learned quite a bit. It's a narrative of beautiful arts and crafts and deep spirituality. Archaeologists have unearthed highly elaborate structures and public works.
While there was inevitable tribal conflict, that was just a slight blemish in the history of our ancestors. They were at peace with this beautiful continent and intensely plugged into nature.
When European leaders dispatched the first vessels in this direction, the goal was to explore new resources – but the quality of climate and the bounty of everything from wood to wildlife soon changed their tune. As those leaders learned from their explorers, the drive to colonize spread like wildfire.
The English, French and Spanish rushed to carve up the "New World" by shipping over inadequately prepared colonists as fast as possible. In the beginning, they skirmished with the alarmed Indians of America's eastern seaboard. But that shortly gave way to trade, because the Europeans who landed here understood their survival was doubtful without native help.
Thus followed years of relative peace as the settlers got themselves established on American soil. But the drive to push inland came soon after. Kings and queens from thousands of miles away were anxious to locate even more resources, and some colonists came for freedom and opportunity.
They wanted more space. And so began the process of pushing the American Indian out of the way.
It took the shape of cash payments, barter, and notoriously, treaties that were almost consistently neglected after the Indians were forced from the land in question.
The U.S. government's policies towards Native Americans in the second half of the nineteenth century were influenced by the desire to expand westward into areas occupied by these Native American tribes. By the 1850s virtually all Native American tribes, roughly 360,000 in number, lived to the west of the Mississippi River. These American Indians, some from the Northwestern and Southeastern territories, were confined to Indian Territory situated in contemporary Oklahoma, while the Kiowa and Comanche Native American tribes shared the territory of the Southern Plains.
The Sioux, Crows and Blackfeet dominated the Northern Plains. These Native American groups met misfortune as the steady stream of European immigrants into northeastern American cities delivered a stream of immigrants into the western lands already inhabited by these diverse groups of Indians.

The early nineteenth century of the United States was marked by its continual expansion to the Mississippi River. However, due to the Gadsden purchase, that lead to U.S. control of the borderlands of southern New Mexico and Arizona along with the authority over Oregon country, Texas and California; America's expansion would not end there. Between 1830 and 1860 the U.S. practically doubled the amount of territory within its control.
These territorial gains coincided with the arrival of hordes of European and Asian immigrants who wanted to join the surge of American settlers heading west. This, partnered with the discovery of gold in 1849, presented attractive opportunities for those prepared make the extended quest westward. Therefore, with the military's protection and the U.S. government's assistance, many settlers began establishing their homesteads in the Great Plains and other parts of the Native American tribe-inhabited West.
Native American Policy can be defined as the laws and regulations and procedures developed and adapted in the United States to summarize the relationship between Native American tribes and the federal government. When the United States first became an independent country, it implemented the European policies towards the native peoples, but throughout two centuries the U.S. adapted its own widely varying policies regarding the changing perspectives and requirements of Native American oversight.
In 1824, in order to administrate the U.S. government's Native American policies, Congress created a new agency inside the War Department referred to as Bureau of Indian Affairs, which worked closely with the U.S. Army to enforce their policies. At times the federal government recognized the Indians as self-governing, separate political communities with different cultural identities; however, at other times the government attempted to compel the Native American tribes to abandon their cultural identity, let go of their land and assimilate into the American culture.

With the steady flow of settlers in to Indian "" land, Eastern newspapers printed sensationalized stories of savage native tribes carrying out massive massacres of hundreds of white travelers. Although some settlers lost their lives to American Indian attacks, this was not the norm; in fact, Native American tribes generally helped settlers get across the Plains. Not only did the American Indians sell wild game and other necessities to travelers, but they acted as guides and messengers between wagon trains as well. Despite the good natures of the American Indians, settlers still feared the risk of an attack.

To calm these worries, in 1851 the U.S. government organised a conference with several local Indian tribes and established the Treaty of Fort Laramie. Within this treaty, each Native American tribe consented to a bounded territory, allowed the government to construct roads and forts in this territory and pledged never to assault settlers; in return the federal government agreed to honor the boundaries of each tribe's territory and make gross payments to the Indians. The Native American tribes responded peacefully to the treaty; in fact the Cheyenne, Sioux, Crow, Arapaho, Assinibione, Mandan, Gros Ventre and Arikara tribes, who signed the treaty, even consented to end the hostilities amidst their tribes to be able to accept the terms of the treaty.
This peaceful agreement between the U.S. government and the Native American tribes didn't last very long. After hearing stories of fertile acreage and tremendous mineral wealth in the West, the government soon broke their pledge established in the Treat of Fort Laramie by permitting thousands of non-Indians to flood into the region. With so many newcomers heading west, the federal government established a policy of limiting Native Americans to reservations, limited areas of acreage within a group's territory that was earmarked exclusively for their use, in order to offer more land for "" non-Indian settlers.
In a series of new treaties the U.S. government commanded Native Americans to give up their land and move to reservations in exchange for protection from attacks by white settlers. In addition, the Indians were allocated a yearly payment that would include money in addition to foodstuffs, livestock, household goods and agricultural equipment. These reservations were established in an effort to pave the way for increasing U.S. growth and involvement in the West, as well as to keep the Native Americans separate from the whites in order to lower the chance for friction.
These deals had many complications. Most of all many of the native people didn't completely grasp the document that they were finalizing or the conditions within it; furthermore, the treaties did not respect the cultural practices of the Native Americans. In addition to this, the government agencies accountable for administering these policies were overwhelmed with poor management and corruption. In fact many treaty provisions were never implemented.
The U.S. government rarely fulfilled their side of the agreements even when the Native Americans moved quietly to their reservations. Shady bureau agents sometimes sold the supplies that were meant for the Indians on reservations to non-Indians. Additionally, as settlers required more territory in the West, the government frequently decreased the size of reservation lands. By this time, many of the Native American peoples were dissatisfied with the treaties and angered by the settlers' constant demands for territory.
Angered by the government's dishonest and unfair policies, several Native American tribes, including bands of Cheyennes, Arapahos, Comanches and Sioux, battled back. As they struggled to protect their territories and their tribes' survival, over a thousand skirmishes and battles broke out in the West between 1861 and 1891. In an effort to force Native Americans onto the reservations and to end the violence, the U.S. government responded to these skirmishes with significant military operations. Obviously the U.S. government's Indian policies required an adjustment.

Native American policy shifted dramatically after the Civil War. Reformers believed that the policy of forcing Native Americans on to reservations was too severe while industrialists, who were concerned about their land and resources, thought of assimilation, the cultural absorption of the American Indians into "white America" to be the single permanent method of assuring Native American survival. In 1871 the federal government approved a critical law proclaiming that the United States would no longer deal with Native American tribes as autonomous nations.
This legislation signaled a significant change in the government's working relationship with the native peoples – Congress now regarded the Native Americans, not as countries outside of its jurisdictional control, but as wards of the government. By making Native Americans wards of the "" government, Congress believed that it would be better to make the policy of assimilation a broadly recognised part of the cultural mainstream of America.
Many U.S. government representatives viewed assimilation as the most effective answer to what they viewed as "the Indian problem," and the only permanent strategy for guaranteeing U.S. interests in the West and the survival of the American Indians. In order to accomplish this, the government pressed Native Americans to relocate out of their established dwellings, move into wooden houses and become farmers.
The federal government handed down laws that pressed Native Americans to abandon their traditional appearance and lifestyle. Some laws outlawed common religious practices while others ordered Indian males to cut their long hair. Agents on more than two-thirds of American Indian reservations founded tribunals to implement federal polices that often restricted traditional ethnic and spiritual practices.
To boost the assimilation operation, the government established Indian schools that attempted to quickly and vigorously Americanize Indian kids. According to the director of the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania, the schools were created to "kill the Indian and save the man." To be able to accomplish this objective, the schools compelled pupils to speak only English, put on proper American fashion and to switch their Indian names with more "American" ones. These new regulations helped bring Native Americans nearer to the conclusion of their traditional tribal identity and the beginning of their existence as citizens under the absolute control of the U.S. administration.
In 1887, Congress approved the General Allotment Act, the most significant component of the U.S. government's assimilation platform, which was written to "civilize" American Indians by teaching them to become farmers. In order to accomplish this, Congress wanted to increase private title of Indian property by dividing reservations, which were collectively owned, and allowing each family their own parcel of land.
In addition to this, by forcing the Native Americans onto limited plots, western developers and settlers could purchase the left over territory. The General Allotment Act, often called the Dawes Act, required that the Indian lands be surveyed and each family be given an allotment of between 80 and 160 acres, while unmarried adults were given between 40 to 80 acres; the remaining territory was to be sold. Congress was hoping that the Dawes Act would break up Indian tribes and stimulate individual enterprise, while cutting down the expense of Indian administration and producing prime property to be purchased by white settlers.

The Dawes Act turned out to be disastrous for the American Indians; over the next decades they lived under policies that outlawed their traditional approach to life yet did not supply the necessary resources to support their businesses and families. Splitting the reservations into small parcels of land triggered the significant decrease of Indian-owned land. Inside thirty years, the people had lost in excess of two-thirds of the acreage that they had controlled before the Dawes Act was enacted in 1887; the majority of the remaining land was sold to white settlers.
Commonly, Native Americans were cheated out of their allotments or were required to sell off their property in order to pay bills and provide for their own families. Because of that, the Indians were not "Americanized" and were often not able to become self-supporting farmers or ranchers, like the makers of the policy had anticipated. Further, it generated anger among Indians toward the U.S. government, as the allotment practice often destroyed land that was the spiritual and societal hub of their activities.
Between 1850 and 1900, life for Native Americans changed radically. Through U.S. government policies, American Indians were forced from their places of residence because their native lands were parceled out. The Plains, which they had previously roamed without limits, were now filling with white settlers.
Over all these years the Indians have been defrauded out of their property, food and way of life, as the federal government's Indian plans coerced them into reservations and tried to "Americanize" them. Many American Indian bands could not endure relocation, cultural destruction and military loss; by 1890 the Native American population was reduced to fewer than 250,000 people. As a result of decades of discriminatory and dodgy policies instituted by the United States government between 1850 and 1900, life for the American Indians was changed permanently.

You can replace the watermelon puree with honeydew melon or cantaloupe puree. Use any fresh organic fruit you have on hand. I like using contrasting colors because it makes the popsicles look so pretty! And don't forget to use seedless watermelon.
When ready to serve, run the popsicle molds under warm water for a few seconds and then pull each one out. Enjoy!


As we have reached full swing into the new year, there is a lot of promise as to the possibilities that 2019 holds for small businesses. With that, however, comes a more intense threat of cyber security breaches. As a managed service provider, we keep eyes on these numbers every year to see exactly where the trends are rising, and we have noticed that cyber security threats are rising tremendously for small businesses. Don't believe us? In 2018, we saw Facebook lose 30 million in personal records and Under Armour's myfitnesspal lost 150 million records. These are actual numbers from the previous year, and they are only projected to be the beginning of it. To help prepare you small businesses for the upcoming year, we want to provide you with a few predictions and tips on how to avoid these types of threats.
Usually, businesses and IT support teams are use to attackers going after the AI systems, but in 2019, attackers will enlist this type of intelligence to hunt for vulnerabilities in a company's network. The AI will probe a business's system and exploit anywhere possible and will make phishing scams even more sophisticated.
You may be familiar with this type of authentication because of Apple or other similar platforms and see it as an extremely frustrating process. Even though this may seem frustrating to you and your users, IT support teams highly recommend that they be put into place. These systems are much more safer than password-only access and can help keep your consumers information safe. To help keep the frustration levels at bay, add a line of verbiage to explain that this system is in place to keep their information safe from any cyber attackers.
We have seen it time and time again with new hotspots and coverage keeping our network's at lighting speed. With 5G continually being worked on and applied in various areas, this opens the door for attackers to swoop on in. Making the shift to 5G means a new type of architecture and network models to make it operate which means the possibility of new vulnerabilities for hackers to attack. Now, we are not saying that you should not make the switch if you want to, but you should be aware of the possible risks that the switch comes with.
This type of cyber attack may not be new to the new year, but it is one of the leading modes that cyber attackers use to affect businesses. A major concern we have with this type of scam is that it continues to rise. Your business and its employees must be cautious when giving out financial information over the Internet and should avoid it at all costs.
Our last tip, which may be the most important, is to keep everyone in your organization informed on how they types of attacks can ultimately affect your business. Your business may want to increase the budget you are spending on cybersecurity and consider outsourcing all IT service to a managed service provider that can keep a dedicated eye on all areas related to your business's cyber security.

Are We Becoming Numb to Student Deaths?
The Voice Staff, Staff Editorial
Students' email inboxes read, "Sad News." Without even opening the email, students have grown to expect these messages more often than ever. The university owes students more information and support, in the face of these tragedies.
After a review of news articles, Bloomsburg University alone has lost 14 students, one faculty member and one vice president since 2019. The most recent student death of Edward Heckler occurred last Saturday in the early hours of the morning, days before the start of fall classes.
Heckler was a classmate to many, a friend to many, a student with hopes and dreams of a vibrant professional and personal life in the years ahead.
The big question remains, are students becoming numb to these tragedies? We at The Voice believe that Bloomsburg University needs to provide students with more resources on how tragedies can be prevented, and a more sincere way of carrying on students' legacies who have passed away. A brief acknowledgment of a student death in an email is not enough.
On February 5, 2022, the student body was informed of the passing of student Greg Anstine, via an email from president Bashar Hanna. The email stated the date of his passing and a short statement about Greg's life, before sharing resources for on campus counseling.
While offering counseling for students is greatly appreciated and important, it comes across as callous and dismissive. We at The Voice believe that the University can do more for their students, after sharing heartbreaking news. If we really are the "family" that university emails tell us we are, we need to collectively mourn that human tragedy.
In the following weeks after Greg Anstine's passing, two of his friends Jason McSherry and Ryon Sauble set up a GoFundMe to raise money for Greg's cause. The fundraiser reached over $16,000 with some of the money donated towards benches on Bloomsburg University's campus. A bench was installed across from the Sutliff academic building on May 4, 2022.
Students do not feel seen by the university after losing fellow students, and don't feel the university's comfort and support. Instead, they take matters into their own hands, by creating fundraisers, planning memorials, and raising awareness for those who are suffering.
At the end of the day, human life is extremely precious and should be upheld and cared for at all costs.
If you or someone you know is struggling after the loss of a loved one, don't hesitate to find the help that you need. Bloomsburg offers counseling to all students, please contact 570-389-4255 or visit their website to schedule a session. There are several online resources that are readily available in times of need. Online therapy such as BetterHelp can be accessed within a few clicks, along with support groups within one's community.

(KMVT/KSVT) — Idaho State Board of Education voted Thursday to fire University of Idaho Athletic Director Rob Spear during a meeting at Idaho State University.
The termination comes as a "convenience" after months of investigation into alleged mishandling of sexual abuse reports at the university, according to a SBOE news release.
As part of his contract with the university, Spear will be compensated for the remainder of his employment agreement, which ends Feb. 17, 2020.
A statement from board member Emma Atchley before the vote summarized that the university's response to allegations of sexual misconduct in 2012 and 2013 may have been due to lack of understanding and education of university policies in handling such situations. An investigation revealed the university failed to provide proper notice and education of Title IX policy changes.

This article presents a radio resource optimization model for Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) access networks. The proposed model arranges cells in a multi-tier fashion with increasing coverage radius. Considering the available structure of antennas the optimizer performs dynamic cell merging and cell splitting according to mobile users' demands for efficiently utilizing radio resources. It is proposed an integer programming model with a bi-criteria objective function that tries to minimize the use of network resources as well as to maximize network revenue. The computational demand for obtaining integer solutions increases proportionally to the number of mobile users and also to the number of tiers of antennas. In addition to the integer solutions, an algorithm based on linear relaxation technique is presented, which implies on significant computational time reduction when solving large instances of the problem. Moreover, results are very close to those given by the integer programming formulation.

Home Top Stories Fowles grabs 17 boards, Lynx beat Sparks 70-68
Fowles grabs 17 boards, Lynx beat Sparks 70-68
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Lynx were still stinging two days after they failed to grab a single rebound in the first quarter of their WNBA Finals-opening loss to the Los Angeles Sparks.
So Sylvia Fowles decided to grab them all in Game 2.
Fowles grabbed a Finals-record 17 rebounds and scored 13 points to lead the Lynx to a 70-68 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks on Tuesday night, evening the series at one game apiece.
"When we really put our minds to rebounding nobody can stop us. I think that was fresh in my head," Fowles said, referring to the zero rebounds. "My mindset was just crash the boards. Every opportunity I got, crash the boards."
Fowles broke Taj McWilliams-Franklin's record of 16 for Connecticut in 2005. Lindsay Whalen scored 14 points, Rebekkah Brunson had 12 and the Lynx held the defending champions to 38.7 percent shooting while bouncing back from a last-second loss in Game 1.
Candace Parker had 17 points, six assists and five rebounds for the Sparks, who had the ball and a chance to tie or take the lead with 13.1 seconds to play. But Chelsea Gray lost the handle on her dribble for a turnover, one of two big ones by Los Angeles in the final 14 seconds.
"We didn't have the fight and grit in the first half that could match Minnesota," Sparks coach Brian Agler said. "They set the tone early in the game and we have to respond better."
Gray scored 15 points for Los Angeles, and Nneka Ogwumike had 11 points on 3-for-13 shooting and 13 rebounds.
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve torched her proud, veteran team on Monday after getting behind 28-2 in the first eight minutes on Sunday. She took little solace in watching them rally to a late lead, saying any pats on the back were from "Loserville."
The Lynx responded in a major way in Game 2, grabbing a 15-point lead in the first eight minutes. They held Ogwumike and Parker to a combined 0 for 11 in the first half and Los Angeles shot just 28 percent in the first two quarters.
But just like the Lynx didn't give up in Game 1, the Sparks wouldn't go away this time. Parker capped an 11-3 run that cut Minnesota's lead to three with 1:21 to play and Brunson was whistled for a questionable foul on Parker on the next possession. She converted both free throws to make it 70-68 and Maya Moore missed a jumper on the other end.
With Seimone Augustus hounding her, Alana Beard was whistled for a five-second call on the inbounds pass.
"I didn't see anyone open," Beard said. "That said, my responsibility is to get the ball inbounds. That's something I can't allow to happen."
The Sparks had one more shot, but Gray, who beat the Lynx with a jumper in the final seconds of Game 1, couldn't come up with the heroics for a second straight game. After she lost the handle, Brunson poked the ball away and Moore scooped it up and tossed it ahead to Whalen to seal the win.
"Our defense saved us," Whalen said. "We were one play better."
The Sparks are trying to become the first repeat champions since 2002, and they head home having earned a split at raucous Williams Arena.
ANTHEM STATEMENT
For the second straight game, the Sparks left the court just before "The Star Spangled Banner" started, a show of support for their NFL brethren who have come under withering criticism from President Donald Trump for using the national anthem as a vehicle to protest social injustice.
The Sparks were booed heavily as they exited the court and again as they reappeared after the song was over. Ogwumike and Parker have said that the display is not meant to be derogatory toward the flag or American soldiers.
The Lynx locked arms in a show of unity before Game 1, but stood in line in normal fashion before Game 2.
Game 3 is on Friday in Los Angeles.

Hillandale Farms Settles 'Price Gouging' Suit With 1.2 Million Donated Eggs
by Steve Ellwanger , April 6, 2021
Hillandale Farms Corp. will donate 1.2 million eggs to New York food banks to settle a lawsuit accusing the company of price gouging grocery stores, military facilities and wholesale food distributors in the state.
New York Attorney General Letitia James sued Hillandale on Aug. 11 2020, alleging that in the early days of COVID-19 the company increased its egg prices "to levels double, triple, and even quadruple the prices it charged for the same products in January 2020."
The settlement, announced three days before Easter Sunday, was first reported by WATT Poultry.
The publicationquoted Hillendale as saying, "Although it is important to note that the approach to pricing commodity eggs in New York has remained consistent for decades, the resolution of this matter reflects Hillandale Farms' deep concern about the communities we serve."
Hillandale initially denied the allegations and said it would defend itself in court.
According to James, beginning last March Hillandale sold more than four million cartons of "price-gouged eggs, causing harm to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of New York consumers."
Hillandale's New York grocery customers include Stop & Shop, Western Beef, BJ's Wholesale Club and Associated Supermarkets. It also sells eggs to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Fort Hamilton and Fort Drum.
According to the lawsuit, between Jan. 1 and March 12 of 2020, Hillandale charged Western Beef between 59 cents and $1.10 for a dozen large white eggs. By March 29, Hillandale was charging Western $2.93.
West Point paid $3.15 for the same quantity and type of eggs in early April compared to a maximum of $1.32 during January and February.
James calculated that the more than four million cartons of "price-gouged" eggs generated revenue of approximately $8 million—with at least $4 million representing revenue that Hillandale "illegally obtained."
Marketing Daily reached out to Hillendale for comment but had not heard back by deadline.
Cal-Maine Foods, the country's largest egg producer and distributor, also has been under scrutiny for egg pricing. A year ago this month, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused the company of price gouging, but the lawsuit was dismissed in August.

A Greenbelt is NOT a park. The Municipality does not have to buy land to create a Greenbelt. A Greenbelt is created using ZONING to protect certain areas from development.
A Greenbelt is NOT a museum. Many of the uses that already exist on the Greenbelt will stay that way, including residential uses, farming, industrial, etc. A Greenbelt prevents land from being developed for intensive residential or commercial uses.
A Greenbelt is series of large areas, patches and corridors that are ZONED by the Municipality, through the Municipal Planning Strategy, to as "Environmental Reserve" (or something similarly named) where commercial and residential development are not allowed.
These areas are picked based on ecological and social values. For instance, we wouldn't want to surround all of our lake access with private homes, making the lakes inaccessible to the community, would we?
In the same way, we want to encourage the building of homes and stores in communities that already have a main street, where groups of people can build a community and small businesses can serve local residents. In other words, we want to encourage more neighbourhoods where residents can walk to get a carton of milk.
In this way and many other ways, a Greenbelt is an economic opportunity to promote local procurement of food and goods, tourism, and recreation. It can have positive impacts on urban sustainability, can help to strengthen rural economic viability, and can help to make HRM a unique and attractive destination for tourists and future residents.
What's the difference between a "Greenbelt" and a "Green Network"?
Nothing! They're actually just different names for the same thing. Both identify ecologically- and culturally-significant land, and change land use planning policies to protect this land. Both are used to protect the areas that are crucial to our human and non-human ecosystems, and to direct growth to the areas where we need it the most! The Green Network is the name of the greenbelt plan that HRM is working on, right now.
Both contain many different sorts of landscapes: farms, forestry, trails, wilderness, mining, small towns and hamlets, parks, and many other elements!
Where will The Green Network be?
Recently, HRM mapped all of our highest ecological values in HRM – the ones we need to preserve for the health of our natural and human ecosystems. You can look at that map by clicking here. This would be a great place to start for a Greenbelt, since we know the areas identified by this map are indispensable if future generations are to enjoy Nova Scotia's nature like we have!

Why do taxes keep going up in HRM?
HRM is growing at a slower rate than the rest of Canada, with a 3.3% population increase against the national increase of 5.0% since the 2011 census.
At the same time, the census showed that within metropolitan Halifax, certain suburban areas grew by much greater margins than did the regional centre: for example, Halifax West saw a population increase of 10.3%.
Growth is happening so the tax base is naturally increasing. Growth is good, but not if the growth costs more than it earns in taxes.
Research done in 2013 by Sustainable Prosperity showed that the cost of servicing suburban households is more than double the cost of servicing urban households.
This means that we're building communities where the taxes do not pay for the needs of the community, like transit, sidewalks, community centres, soccer fields, etc.
How do "Complete Communities" curb our taxes?
If we concentrate growth in existing communities to increase density and lower the costs of servicing these communities, it will help to stabilize tax rates.
By directing growth to the right places and building dense, complete communities that do not cost the taxpayer more than they provide in revenue, we also improve the amenities that people have close to their own neighbourhoods, like transit, small businesses, parks, and community centres.
If tax rates stabilize or decrease, more people will be able to afford to live here, thus helping to boost the population growth. A Greenbelt and a plan for good Growth are both key to stabilizing municipal costs, because a Greenbelt directs growth away from the costly outskirts of the city and a Growth Plan directs growth into the existing communities that need more economic activity.
How can we breakdown the urban/rural economic divide?
In HRM, there is a distinct divide between urban and rural interest and prosperity. A Greenbelt could serve to link the local economies in both places and help them to support one another and grow sustainably.
It could help to bring innovative ideas that support small urban and suburban communities into their rural counterparts.
How can we breakdown the urban/rural community divide?
A greenbelt could also help to form partnerships between community groups from distinct locations working on similar issues.
Promoting connectivity between groups working on active transportation in different towns, linking them to broader projects like The Blue Route (http://blueroute.ca/).
These are just a few examples – the possible ways that a greenbelt can grow connections and inspire a broader vision for regional governance are numerous and depend significantly on the spatial awareness that a widely accessible greenbelt map could create.
How does a Greenbelt protect tourism?
HRM has incredible natural assets that people come from all over the world to see – from the Halifax Waterfront to Peggy's Cove, from Martinique Beach to McNabs Island. Ribbon development along the tourism vistas and greenfield development around parks and recreational areas threatens these assets and serves to hinder the prosperity of the tourism industry. A greenbelt would serve to protect these key areas and vistas that allow tourists to easily navigate their way around HRM and enjoy everything that we have to offer. Promotion of trails and ease of access to various beaches and recreational areas could also serve to aid economies in suburban and rural areas outside of the regional centre, attracting customers to cafes, breweries, restaurants, bed & breakfasts, museums, local shops, and other tourist attractions.


Discussion in 'Subwoofers' started by blackviper90210, Mar 1, 2013.
I have an Onkyo Tx-SR507 amp.
I recently bought a brand new set of speakers and passive sub woofer, unfortunately due to lack of knowledge I didn't realise that my amp needs a powered amp not a passive one.
Can I use any powered sub woofer with my amp, or do I need to get a specific one?
You just need an active sub woofer.
What passive sub did you buy another option is buy and amp to run the passive sub of your onkyo.
The sub woofer is an Onkyo SKW-338.
Apologies for my lack of knowledge, but does that mean I don't need my 507 amp or do you buy an amp just to power the sub?
This is my first time dabbling in this.
Hi Im no my phone so hard to tell at the moment but Im pretty sure you could buy and amp like a behringer nu1000 which has got plenty of power for this sub.
You would need to use your onkyo and this.
Cost is about 150ish with cable and connections Cost.
The other option is sell the onkyo sub and buy bother sub with amp built in like a wharfedale sw150 which is about the same money.
What budget do you have.
IMO you won't get an amp up to the job to power a subwoofer for very cheap. It's feasible to just ditch the passive subwoofer and buy an active one as an alternative. If you really wanted to get a set up powering a passive sub, you could use something sort of PA amp like the EP2500, but that would cost quite a bit and only people who really want to build their own powerful passive subs go down that route. I'm sure you can pick up a relativistic subwoofer for your system for a good price on auction sites.
To answer the OP's follow up question; most AVRs don't provide amplification for the subwoofer, so you will need to provide an alternative method of amplification for it. Whether that's an active subwoofer with the amplifier bilt in it, or a separate amplifier to power a passive sub, is entirely up to you.
I don't have the money to buy expensive amps for the sub I already have, so I'll sell my passive and buy a 2nd hand active one.
Cheaper and easier for me at this time.
That's cool and to be honest alot easier. My advice is just buy the best you can afford or you will only want to upgrade every 2secs.
Is that in place of a left or right speaker then?
Is that safe to do with the amp?
Lol!! no you can either wire the + of your sub to the + on your left speaker or the + connection at the amp and the - to the - on the right speaker or at the - at the amp depening on where you want to position your sub.
Cheers for putting me straight, I'll give that a go.
lol no problem! i'm then thinking that when you turn up the volume on your receiver/amp the sub then should have more spl = (louder) output also.
I wouldn't advise doing such, as you will present an abnormal load to the amp, which may cause it to heat up and cause unhealthy problems for it. You want to stick with your 8ohm speakers or whatever they are, as a load to the amp rather than adding a sub to the load as well.
Not saying it won't work, but it's not very good practice to do so, also yo will have your sub trying to scream out a female high pitched vocal due to the lack of a cross over.
Thinking about it, You *may* be able to connect the subwoofer with one of your speakers in series, which increases the resistance applied to the amp output (>8ohms), without blowing the amp up, but the channel with the sub connected to it will become considerably quieter. You will need to go in to your level controls and turn it up a bit, to get them equal again after the sub. You can present a higher impedance to the amp than the amp can accept, but you cannot have a lower impedance speaker connected to an amp requiring a higher impedance speakers. e.g. an 8ohm amp will not work well with 4ohm speakers, but a 4ohm amp will work with 8ohm speakers. Adding two drivers together in series increases overall impedance (i believe) so it should work.
yeah on second thoughts dont do what ive subscribed in my last post as there maybe impedance anomilies which may trip the receiver falesafe and/or damage the amp stage etc my opoligies.......new sub!
as said its not a great idea as it will cause an unbalaced load on the amp which can cause allsorts of issues, this sub is no good for the job you want it for.
Question New receiver or power amp/antimode for 2 new subs?
