Unabomber investigated in 1982 Tylenol deaths
By KAREN HAWKINS ~ The Associated Press
CHICAGO -- Could the Unabomber and Chicago's Tylenol poisoner be one and the same? FBI agents investigating the Tylenol killings, unsolved for nearly 30 years, want Ted Kaczynski's DNA, but they aren't saying whether there's any reason to believe he might be a match.
Chicago FBI spokeswoman Cynthia Yates said the bureau wants DNA from "numerous individuals" including Kaczynski, although she wouldn't provide details about any of the others. The FBI's efforts to get Kaczynski's DNA became publicly known because of a court motion he filed seeking to keep materials he claims would exonerate him in the Tylenol case: items from his Montana cabin that the U.S. Marshals Service is auctioning off.
Kaczynski lived in the tiny cabin as he sent off mail bombs that killed three people and wounded several others in attacks that began in the late 1970s. The FBI dubbed the man the Unabomber because the bombs originally targeted university professors and airline executives.
Kaczynski, who grew up in the Chicago area, was captured in 1996, pleaded guilty two years later and is serving a life sentence in federal prison in Colorado.
He has declined to voluntarily provide a DNA sample to agents investigating the Tylenol poisonings, which left seven people dead in the space of three days beginning Sept. 29, 1982. The victims took cyanide-laced Tylenol from packages that had been tampered with.
The deaths triggered a national scare and a huge recall, and eventually led to the widespread adoption of tamperproof packaging for over-the-counter drugs.
Kaczynski's attorney, John Balasz, said he's "completely convinced" that Kaczynski had no involvement in Tylenol case. He added that he thinks the FBI wants his DNA not because they have evidence linking him but because they want to definitively rule him out as a suspect.
"You've got to ask the FBI how serious they are. I think it's probably more that they want to exclude him," Balasz said.
Yates declined to say whether the FBI would try to compel Kaczynski to give a sample. In the motion he filed over his belongings, Kaczynski said the officials who notified him of the FBI's request told him the agency was prepared to go to court to get the DNA.
Kaczynski said, without elaborating, that he would provide a sample "if the FBI would satisfy a certain condition that is not relevant here," but Balasz said the government will need to go to court to get one.
Kaczynski filed the court motion May 9 in California, where he was tried. The Sacramento Bee first reported on the filing Thursday. Kaczynski wants to keep certain items taken from his cabin in 1996, including journals he says could prove his whereabouts in 1982 and other evidence that could clear him in the Tylenol case.
The government auction of Kaczynski's materials began Wednesday and runs through June 2.
Among the items available is his manifesto, which helped lead to his arrest after newspapers published it and Kaczynski's brother recognized his writing style and anti-technology beliefs. His books, clothing, typewriters and sneakers are also up for auction. The cabin itself is on display at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
Last year, the U.S. Marshals netted about $580 million for state and local law enforcement agencies and $345 million for victims by holding auctions of items seized in asset-forfeiture cases.
In a response to Kaczynski's motion filed Monday, federal prosecutors said the courts lack the jurisdiction to bar the government from auctioning the items. They also said Kaczynski hasn't been indicted in connection with the Tylenol investigation and that "no such federal prosecution is currently planned."
The FBI collected DNA samples from Kaczynski after his arrest, but that material "might have degraded to the point that it is not usable," said Ross Rice with the FBI in Chicago. "It's always best to have a current sample."
Officials are barred from taking a DNA sample from Kaczynski without either his consent or a court order. Rice said it will be up to prosecutors to decide whether to go to court to get the genetic material.
"Even though he's a prisoner, he still has rights," Rice said.
The Tylenol poisonings case has stymied investigators for nearly 30 years, and no charges have ever been filed in the deaths.
In 2009, federal agents searched the Boston home of James W. Lewis, who served more than 12 years in prison for sending an extortion note to Tylenol maker Johnson & Johnson demanding $1 million to "stop the killing." Lewis has denied involvement in the poisonings.
A friend of Lewis, Roger Nicholson, told The Associated Press early last year that Lewis and his wife had given DNA samples and fingerprints to investigators.
Kaczynski, for his part, said in his motion that he has "never even possessed any potassium cyanide" -- the poison used in the Tylenol killings.
Helen Jensen, a former nurse who accompanied investigators to the home of one of the victims, said she hopes this latest news isn't a dead end like so many before. She said she still occasionally talks to the grandmother of a 12-year-old girl who died and that "her whole family was destroyed by it."
"It sure would be nice to finally get some end to the whole thing, for the people that are survivors," Jensen said.

Robert preaches, teaches and is a Deacon and has been doing all of this for many years, and just loves being a Wedding Minister for couples. You will love him as a person because he truly has an amazing heart and is a very good speaker!
"We had the pleasure of having Robert officiate our wedding in June of this year. I'll be honest, at first, I was a little hesitant about hiring someone I didn't know to marry us. Within 5 minutes of meeting Robert, my hesitation quickly went away. He is so personable and it felt like we had known him for years! He was extremely helpful when it came to figuring out exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. He had great suggestions and answered all of the questions we had. He put his own little spin on the ceremony (with our permission beforehand) and made everyone, especially my husband and I, feel so comfortable and relaxed. It was everything we wanted it to be and more. I cannot tell you how many of our guests came up to us and told us how beautiful our ceremony was and how much they loved our officiant and how he did such a great job. We put our trust in him on the most important day of our lives so far and he definitely did not let us down. My husband and I look forward to keeping in touch with Robert throughout the years to come. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend hiring Robert as your officiant, he is impossible to beat!!
We can't thank you enough, Robert!
Our wedding was honestly everything we wanted and more!!! Guests have been raving about you - they LOVED the ceremony! They said it was short, sweet and perfect! :) You did an amazing job - THANK YOU!
We didn't get the chance to meet Scott in person but in all of our communications he was amazing & very helpful with all his information!
I just wanted to thank you for doing such a wonderful job with our wedding ceremony. It was absolutely perfect and the ceremony was our favorite part of the wedding weekend. You made us both feel so comfortable, I loved your extra touches, and the ceremony would not have been so perfect without you. We appreciate you so very much.
My husband and I are so pleased with our decision to have Robert Burton marry us. We met him months before the wedding via Skype, because of the distance. It was very convenient for us to meet him via Skype from the comfort of our own home. He did not pressure us to choose him, even after we met. But we knew right away that he would be great! And he was. He got to know us before the wedding, and gave us some brief but helpful marriage advice. He met us at our block hotel for the rehearsal and then at the venue for the ceremony. At the ceremony, Robert made us feel relaxed right away, which was a big task because we were both shaking nervous. The ceremony that he prepared for us was exactly what we asked for: short and sweet. Everyone laughed! Everyone cried! We are happy to have had Robert be apart of our big day! We highly recommend him to anyone getting married!
From the moment we were introduced to Robert, Josh and I felt like we had shared a connection with him for years. From preparation meeting, to Skype video check ins and much more he truly became a friend. Robert really made the day precious for josh and I. We received countless feedback from our guest saying our minister was amazing! He made what can be a stressful and emotional day be a precious memory. We are truly grateful we chose Robert and would highly recommend him to everyone! Thank you Robert for everything!
Robert was the officiant for our wedding on July 18, 2015. We came into contact with him through Scott Payne, The Knot Tyer. Shortly after getting in contact with Robert, we were provided a large supply of resources for the wedding- Wedding license info, name-changing information, different unity ceremonies that are available, ceremony ideas and outlines. This information was the first indicator that we were in good hands.
After having our first meeting with Robert, we knew he would be a good fit for us. He was very friendly and has a great sense of humor. After finalizing all of the details, Robert provided a very detailed outline of how the ceremony would go. At the ceremony, he really captured our guests with his ice breakers and great personality. We received so many compliments on how professional our officiant was.
We would highly recommend that you hire Robert as your wedding officiant!
"Robert did an amazing job officiating our wedding. He was available to talk on a few occasions before the big day to really get to know us and make sure we got to know him as well. He gave us some great tips on how everything should go, providing us with a lot of information and different programs he felt would work great for us. He even recommended a few books on marriage that we certainly plan on picking up in the near future! On the day of the wedding, he was there early making sure everything would go smoothly and really put us at ease. Even though we had only met him by video chat on Skype, he certainly lived up to our expectations. Everything went great during the ceremony. Robert, thank you for being a part of our big day and tailoring the ceremony to our preferences. You were great. Thanks again!"
Robert did an outstanding job as our officiant for our wedding! He really listened and adhered to our preferences and did a great job tailoring the ceremony to our style. He spoke clearly and eloquently during the ceremony and everything flowed very nicely. I would definitely recommend Robert as a wedding officiant.

The Stereotype That Women Are Better Multitaskers Than Men Might Be a Lie
Sex differences in the ability to multitask may not be what we think.

Yasmin Tayag
It's an age-old conundrum: Are women really better at multitasking than men? Women have traditionally had to juggle kids and the household in addition to working and managing family relationships, while the breadwinning tasks of men have generally been more singular. But studies on the stereotype over the past few decades have struggled to find evidence that any gender-based divide actually exists. A new study in PLOS One is the latest to join the list.
Led by psychology researcher Patricia Hirsch, Ph.D., of Aachen University, the study shows that women and men are equally bad at multitasking, despite what the traditional tasks of either gender suggest.
This conclusion, of course, was totally contingent on how the ability to multitask was measured. Previous studies — and there are so many — have had different takeaways because multitasking can be assessed in so many different ways.
Women and Men Performed Equally in This Test
Hirsch's study had 48 men and 48 women complete letter and number identification tasks, sometimes sequentially (switching quickly from one task to another) and sometimes concurrently (doing the tasks at the same time). Sequential multitasking is what we do when we answer work emails, texts, Slack messages, and tweets in rapid succession, one after another. Concurrent multitasking is what we do when we cook dinner while talking on the phone with a friend.
The tasks involved in this experiment were a little more abstract: They involved categorizing "letters as consonant or vowel and digits as odd or even using the index and middle fingers of the hand spatially corresponding to the stimulus presentation location."
Sequential multitasking refers to switching between multiple tasks at once, like emailing, Slacking, being on Twitter, and checking Instagram one after the other. Unsplash / John Schnobrich
To measure whether a person actually did the task well, the team looked at accuracy and reaction time, noting how much each person's performance suffered when they had to do tasks sequentially or simultaneously.
For both men and women, both sequential multitasking and concurrent multitasking took an equal toll on speed and accuracy.
Ultimately, their results showed "not a single significant gender difference" across the metrics and conditions they studied.
What Is Multitasking, Anyway?
Multitasking is a messy field, and the team admits that no single experiment can capture every aspect of the ability, from the various cognitive functions underlying it to the range of tasks it can involve.
They try to make their experiments stand out from those done in past studies by specifically comparing gender differences in sequential and simultaneous multitasking. Previous studies have only focused on one type, but the authors point out that these tasks are different enough that they may account for the varying conclusions of previous studies. For example, they say there is previous evidence for "better sequential multitasking performance in women than in men." Concurrent multitasking has shown more mixed results.
But studying multitasking is even more complicated than that. In 2018, researchers wrote in the Harvard Business Review that the inconsistency in what we know about multitasking gender differences may have to do with the fact that the tasks that participants do in these experiments are nothing at all like the stuff a person would do in real life. How often do you use your fingers to categorize vowels and consonants?
Those scientists developed a computer game that better approximated real life: Players had to prepare a room for a business meeting while at the same time fielding distractions, like phone calls and missing chairs, and thinking about things that had to be done in the future, like setting out the coffee. In the Psychological Research study that involved this test, there were no sex differences.
"However," they pointed out, "there is still too little data available to conclude if, and in which multitasking paradigms, gender differences arise."
Depending on how multitasking tests are designed, the conclusions can vary widely. One study showed that pigeons are better at it than humans. Unsplash / Chintya Lia A. Keirayuki
In The Conversation, yet another set of researchers pointed out in 2017 that women are "less affected by interference when carrying out certain tasks than men, and hormones may play a part in this discrepancy." In their Royal Society Open Science study, they showed that estrogen in women makes them better at multitasking than men — but only if your idea of multitasking is doing the Stroop task and swinging your arms while walking.
Silly as that study might seem, it brings the spotlight to the big idea underlying multitasking studies: If women and men differ in their multitasking ability, does it come down to a fundamental biological difference between the sexes?
For now, answering that question depends on our ability to assess multitasking, which remains mixed at best. It has suggested, however, that maybe we should focus less on gender differences and more on those between species: A 2017 Current Biology paper showed that when it comes to the ability to multitask, humans pale in comparison to pigeons.
According to a popular stereotype, women are better at multitasking than men, but empirical evidence for gender differences in multitasking performance is mixed. Previous work has focused on specific aspects of multitasking or has not considered gender differences in abilities contributing to multitasking performance. We therefore tested gender differences (N = 96, 50% female) in sequential (i.e., task switching) and concurrent (i.e., dual tasking) multitasking, while controlling for possible gender differences in working memory, processing speed, spatial abilities, and fluid intelligence. Applying two standard experimental paradigms allowed us to test multitasking abilities across five different empirical indices (i.e., performance costs) for both reaction time (RT) and accuracy measures, respectively. Multitasking resulted in substantial performance costs across all experimental conditions without a single significant gender difference in any of these ten measures, even when controlling for gender differences in underlying cognitive abilities. Thus, our results do not confirm the widespread stereotype that women are better at multitasking than men at least in the popular sequential and concurrent multitasking settings used in the present study.

Study reveals one brilliant brain hack that can unlock your creativity
By Lily Zhu and The Conversation


The 68,000-square-foot Continuing Education building on the Cesar E. Chavez campus will provide vocational training and adult basic education access to the diverse Barrio Logan community.
Built in the "Latino Architectural Style," the project consisted of a new building to help consolidate current programs at the Cesar E. Chavez and Centre City campuses. The new building, designed by architect Martinez + Cutri, includes 22 classrooms for vocational training, English as a Second Language (ESL), Adult Basic Education (ABE), General Education Diploma (GED) preparation classes as well as Parent Education and Emeritus (55+) programs. A multi-purpose room and space for an Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management Program will also be housed in the new building.
The vision of the Continuing Education building was to reflect the target attendees, not only with the naming of the facility, but empowering the working class and celebrating the community. The location was also important; the facility has easy access to public transportation, underground parking, and bicycle storage and changing rooms on the campus. The building design takes inspiration from several important community elements including the world-famous murals at Chicano Park, San Diego Coronado Bay Bridge, Barrio Logan Trolley Station, and the solar orientation of the campus.
The design and construction of the campus integrated sustainable features with the goal of achieving a LEED Silver certification from the USGBC. Some of the energy efficient design included low flow and waterless plumbing fixtures that will reduce water consumption by over 40% and drought resistant landscaping.
Chuey's Student Lounge honors Luis Garcia, Sr. and in particular Chuey's Numero Uno restaurant which was a fixture at the campus intersection since 1956.
The reflective ceiling panels above the two-story lobby depict key words and ideas of the indigenous peoples as well as important places such as Machu Picchu, Teotihuacan, and Chaco Canyon. The ceiling also has a radial lighting pattern coming from the ceremonial opening of the Big Book, a burled cherry wood display containing a history of Latinos in the United States and the founding of the United Farm Workers.
The profile of a three-story Aztec pyramid with its upper temple clad in granite—and the logo of the United Farm Workers—can be seen on the Main Street side of the building.
The brightly painted red façade facing Cesar Chavez Blvd. not only symbolizes an abstraction of a low-rider car with raised hydraulics, but also the number 20—symbolic of the ancient Mayan mathematical system. The red also represents the fire breathing serpent Kukulcan, whose oral story is found in the lobby Big Book.

Predictions from the first AR OS
The software, hardware and UX considerations that will inform the architecture of the first AR OS
Variant Staff
Published on July 16th, 2020
(This article was originally published in Hackernoon in June 2018)
There has been a lot written on the AR glasses rumoured to arrive over the next few years, but not much on the operating systems and core UI that will underly them. We can predict a few use-cases, some semi-dystopian visions of a world overlaid with data, but no real sense of what rules, tradeoffs and capabilities will define the moment-to-moment user experience.
This article looks ahead at the capabilities of a speculative HMD with an operating system built from the ground up for AR — what will it look like? What underlying concepts and considerations will shape the users' experience? What rules and restrictions are imposed on developers?
As a startup CTO, I have to make concrete plans for a future that will be dictated by far larger players in the industry. This is difficult in a fast-changing landscape like AR, but by working backwards from observable limitations, it's possible to take a guess at the environment our software may run in.
How we get to the first AR-OS
This article makes a few assumptions about the near-future:
AR glasses-makers want an OS designed to scale with capabilities
HMDs will be released with an AR-OS built from the ground up, rather than a mobile OS. AR's value can't be fully realised solely as a feature on top of existing 2D UX (as we see from discovery, UX and monetisation challenges in mobile AR).
The fundamental concepts introduced in this AR-OS will be able to scale from the short-use early-adopter stage up to continuous all-day use.
Microsoft's Holo UI is an example of a half-step into a full AR-OS, but as will become clear later, its' task-focused approach is not quite a true AR-first UX.
AR glasses have awareness of movement, locations and objects
The glasses will allow for position-tracking, and sensors to recognise the user's environment and 3D objects. Artificial Intelligence will provide contextual information and categorisation. Web services will be available for recognising flat images, 3D environments and objects from large databases.
Googles VPS will allow pre-scanned environments to be detected, and exact location determined.
Use-cases will evolve and broaden over time
At first AR glasses will be used for single specialized tasks like training or monitoring equipment on factory floors. Early session times will be short, due to comfort, bulk, and battery limitations, but will increase over time as hardware improves and software solves more problems.
Apps and Tags
The software that runs on an AR-OS can be divided into two broad types — Apps, and Tags.
Apps are similar to current desktop/mobile applications They are launched by the user, can be positioned (albeit in 3D space), multitasked between, and will stay open until closed.
Example: A carpentry reference app that you open and place on a table next to the object you're working on.
Tags are more like autonomous apps that are continuously looking for a particular environment, context or object which they can augment with information or by altering the world visually. Until that moment, they are invisible.
Example: A building manager enables a tag that highlights any equipment with a reported fault when they enter a room.
Tasks — Apps
Today, the basic concepts in a mobile OS are a continuation of the metaphors used since ancient-times on PCs and feature-phones (by which I mean the 90s). Applications focused on a single task are launched from a desktop or home-screen, and then accept input until closed or suspended.
This task-focused model won't work for an AR HMD. When you pick up a phone you have already decided which task you want to carry out, and the home-screen UX is optimised around that; a grid of apps ready to launch and take up the screen. A phone OS only needs to care about its own display, and getting you to the right task ASAP.
However an AR UI is continuously visible, sharing space with real-world physical tasks the user may be performing. The display being managed is the world itself: Having a grid of icons floating in your face while chopping vegetables is a poor experience, and only being able to display one task at a time is in the world is overly-limiting.
The 'home screen' of an AR-OS is context-based — actively interacting with and augmenting the world, not waiting for the user to select a single task. Most experiences on the device run not as standalone tasks that take over the entire display, but as apps or tags shown in-context within the world: A video plays on a wall, while on a counter a recipe shows the next step of preparation and a thermostat hovers by the door.
The way we organise our physical world is probably more relevant to AR than how we organise our 2D interfaces. In the real world we surround ourselves with extremely low-friction ways of consuming information and performing tasks (right now I can grab a TV remote, a notebook, a science book, a takeaway menu, my phone or a coffee without looking up). We perform multiple tasks at once, while changing locations and contexts, and rely on unfamiliar environments to signal what we can do in particular areas. Our relationship to our environment affects our way of thinking itself.
Task-focused full-environment apps will exist, but they are not the default building-block of an AR-OS; instead they will be a special state entered by the user. The AR-OS's default mode is like a well-lit living room — all possible tasks visible but not demanding attention. A task-focused app is like turning the lights off to watch a movie — a temporary situation to minimise distraction.
Video games are a rich source of UX experiments possible when rendering in 3d space without limitations. Here is an example of a full-environment, task-focused navigation app (The Division)
Context — Tags
Part of the power of AR is the ability to discover tasks and information naturally — by encountering them in the spaces we live in. Right now this capability is locked behind the limitations of mobile OS.
Mobile AR's biggest challenge is the friction of needing to download and open a single-task app in the right context. Users may be willing to do it once for a brief branded experience, but as part of day-to-day life it simply isn't scalable.
Discovery is also a huge issue for task-oriented AR apps in both mobile and an AR-OS. Users need to be prompted in the real world ('Hey — download our app and scan this!'), or remember seeing some marketing to even be aware an AR experience exists at a location or on an object.
Tags place themselves in the environment automatically, without requiring the user to recognise they would be useful in a particular spot and launch them. Tags could include things like name labels on plants, calorie counts on meals, or historical points of interest.

More esoteric tag examples could include:
Removing all advertising from the world around the user
Building maintenance tags that show the age and last certification date of all installed equipment.
Social tags that allow others to create AR fashion & cosmetics which the user then sees on their body
Tags that give overall color grading & aesthetic effects to the world
'Order more' tag when seeing a near-empty consumable item

From http://diminishedreality.com/
On top of user-installed tags, and tags enabled in the AR-OS by default, location-based tags that automatically show content from a location's owner will be available. Imagine augmented exhibits in museums, or way-finding in a hospital that directs you to your specific appointment.
Context-based augmentation — entering a space and having additional information, interactions and aesthetics layered on top — is mostly uncharted territory in terms of architecture and UX, as it is only really possible via AR (though you could argue precursors include context-based tech like beacons on mobile devices).
Some of the possibilities (including the role of the web as a tag in AR, and ownership of spaces) are covered in the next article in this series.
Managing Resources — Attention & Space
The limitations of phone screens forced a step back from windowed multi-tasking UIs, to single-task. Multitasking on mobile is possible but still awkward to this day — a concession made due to the limitations of the hardware.
Despite having the ability to present information anywhere, in any form, an AR-OS will still be tightly constrained. This time however, the concessions are mainly to the user rather than the hardware — A user has perceptual/mental limitations such as attention and spatial comprehension that can easily be overwhelmed, causing frustration and discomfort.
An AR-OS will need to manage the resources of the user as much as the resources of the device itself, which will require some very careful, empathetic UX design. Attention will need to be treated as a limited resource to be managed, and balanced against the needs of the real world. Physical space will also need to be managed carefully, to ensure the AR-OS is always easily comprehensible.
With current devices, an OS can assume that if the user is looking at the display, they are devoting most of their attention to the task being presented. If the user wishes to shift their attention, it's as simple as looking away.
In AR, the 'display' consists of everything the user can see, so the same assumptions cannot be made. If you fill a users space with whirling information while they try to do another non-AR task, they will become distracted and frustrated.
Users have a finite amount of attention they can pay to the world, so an AR-OS must manage attention as a resource. Its goal is to present only the information the user needs in the world, with as little mental burden as possible.
So, how do we manage the users attention in a way that minimises distraction? Some rules can be easily intuited:
Fast or constant motion will be distracting, especially if they are towards the user or in the periphery of vision.
Objects within an arms-reach distance have much greater physical presence (as anyone who has tried VR can confirm)
Bright or saturated colors will naturally draw more attention
Objects that are large in scale will take up more attention
Objects overlapping in the same spatial volume will need more mental effort to understand
Complex shapes will require more attention to understand, such as highly detailed icons or interfaces.
Again, since we are dealing with a user's visual cortex rather than their display, there is more complexity than traditional UI design. As just one example, designers will need to avoid startling their users:
Sudden, small-scale motion in peripheral vision nearby will startle the user, as we have evolved to reflexively think there is a creature that needs our attention to judge if its dangerous or not.
Similarly, any sudden large-scale motions may also startle users
These concepts are intuitive to reason about, but they can demand different ways of thinking from 2D UI design, encompassing ideas from architecture, way-finding, product-design, psychology and neurology.
Attention and Tags
Attention is simple to manage when the user is focused on a single activity — because the user has launched a task, we can assume they are intending to give it attention, which the creator of the task-oriented software can then design for. For example, a 3D editing tool would expect to take up most of the users focus and visual field, but an IKEA build guide might reasonably expect the furniture it refers to to be present and need to be visible.
However, a lot of the usefulness of an AR-OS comes from its ability to offer a range of information and actions based on the world around the user. In order to avoid distraction & annoyance this ambient UI's goal should be to reach the lowest-attention state possible while still delivering the desired information.
It then follows that the ideal 'low-energy' state of an AR-OS is to look as close to plain reality as possible. It's worth nothing that this is directly opposed to our movie-influenced vision of how future AR UIs look — filling the space in front of a person, or with densely-designed panels pinned all around a user.
This also suggests information presented by tags should be temporary but retrievable later- for example upon recognising a dish, a calorie-count tag may only have access to a limited space around the dish for a set period of time to show the count. The tag may also be limited to food the user is directly interacting with. As a result of these restrictions, this tag would not be able to permanently put counts above every object in a supermarket at once. This prevents both spammy and poorly-designed tags.
A notification system will be needed to manage these events and subtly prompt the user that something is available within a particular space even after the initial notification has passed. This notification system will be expanded on later in the series.
Assumed attention burden for the UI modes discussed
The OS will be aware of the available space around the user, which will vary greatly depending on their location (e.g. a phone booth vs a park).
Placing virtual objects 'inside' real objects or walls may be visually uncomfortable, especially if the real object is heavily patterned, as the disparity in depths creates a 'cross-eyed' sensation. Avoiding this means that the space that tasks and tags can occupy are limited, and vary between environments.
The OS will be expected to choose the best place to locate information and activities to minimise discomfort and distraction. Since so much of AR is contextual, many use-cases rely on information being presented next to or on the object being referred to, so activities will need to be able to request specific volumes of space.
As mentioned, overlapping experiences need to be avoided, so the OS will need ways of managing requests for access to the same volume, or presenting the user with a notification that information/an activity is available.
Details like activity type, total volume requested, anchor-point requested, task priority and current context will all need to be considered by the OS when assigning space.
This UI needs to allow many experiences in one location without taking up the user's attention. Some potential solutions will be discussed in the next article.
The user understandably wants discretion over their privacy and how much data third-parties have access to. Trust will be a huge factor in how an AR-OS is structured, given the presence of cameras, microphones and other sensors in a device that may be worn continually throughout the day.
This issue of trust extends to others around the user as well. Although most of us already carry microphones & cameras on us (and use them continually), the backlash to Google Glass shows that HMDs inhabit a different mental category to smartphones (partly due to their intrusive & outlandish appearance). An AR-OS has an uphill battle with already-negative public perception, and needs to be far more restrictive with sensor access than smartphones in order to win any trust at all.
It's also worth noting trust is also being placed in the system due to its ability to alter visual perception. Malicious (or simply ill-designed) AR software can obscure dangers in the environment, or cause dangerous sudden visual distractions.
For full-time use, the user needs to have a level of trust in the OS close to airline autopilot or banking software. As previously mentioned, most of us have been carrying cameras and microphones in our pockets for a decade, and staring at them most of the day without much security beyond the occasional sticker on a laptop webcam. The head-mounted nature of AR glasses is much more viscerally personal, and any intrusion would be immensely disturbing. Someone with access to those sensors is hijacking our entire life experience, hitching a ride in our head.
Seemed unpleasant
Permissions/Access
The default for any third-party code on the device is that it does not have access to raw sensor data, including video from the cameras, depth/environment data, and microphone. This is essential to preserve the privacy of the user.
An environment mesh built from the users' surroundings can be accessed by apps at a limited rate, and within a particular volume assigned by the OS's spatial management. This prevents malicious code from building high-resolution maps of a user's environment, while still allowing placement of objects on surfaces or other basic environment interaction.
The most common use of the environment mesh is for occlusion — blocking 3D rendered objects when they are behind something in the real world (like under a table). This is handled securely at the OS level by the renderer/compositor, allowing for high resolution visual interaction with the full environment, without exposing the data itself.
Third-party apps have access to low-security data, but not high-security sensor or render data
By default, tags have access to a narrow range of notification/display methods standardised by the OS — A current example would be how push notifications work on mobile; they have a fixed UI design and their behaviour is limited to whats allowed by the OS.
Tags can request additional notification privileges in ambient-use mode to allow for more dynamic behaviour. This allows tags to place content in volumes immediately adjacent to objects of interest, or location tags to display automatically.
A travel tag with default privileges would pop up an OS-provided text box saying 'Flight Boarding at Gate 11', whereas a tag with more privileges could show a glowing pathway to the gate.
Apps in task-oriented mode can also request extra privacy permission, allowing access to raw video, depth and microphone data instead of only the default position-tracking data.
Apps can also request access to full environment meshes and social permissions, which would allow features like pinning an object in your home and having a family member see it in the same place.
Above-all the user must be aware an app has direct access to sensor data for the entire duration of its access. A visual indicator will probably be required at the OS level — think the now-universal 'red dot = recording'.
A Note on Machine Learning & Security
Machine learning is a powerful tool for the AR-OS, but also presents its own challenge due to needing full access to sensor data and having a huge range of possible uses. Common ones include recognising and labelling objects, performing visual searches, and anticipating the user's needs/actions.
A range of simple, composable default models are included with the OS, available to apps, and are carefully designed to not reveal private information.
Custom ML models can also be created by third-parties, but require explicit approval by the OS-maker. The complexity of testing these models, and high risk of leaking private data suggests this might not be an option open to the general public, but rather specific strategic partners.
Context describes creating an OS-level awareness of what the user is doing at that moment, and transforming the display of information appropriately.
It's a bad experience to have calorie counts, song names and incoming email alerts bouncing in your field of view when trying to have a heartfelt conversation with someone.
Mobile devices took a swing at managing real-world contexts with 'profiles' on phones — presets that alter notifications, ringer volume and vibration settings. However, since these need to be manually set this puts the onus on the user to constantly change settings according to their location and actions, an unreasonable amount of friction.
In all cases priority is need to be given to people in the environment; with the assumption that the user's focus is on whoever they are talking to. Notifications need to be dialled down and OS attention & volume management put at maximum during conversations.
Luckily machine-learning may be a 'good-enough' solution here. A series of AI models including facial recognition, motion detection, location labelling and object categorisation could act as inputs into a context-focused model (or hard-coded decision-tree) to determine whether the user is engaged in a conversation.
For example; the facial recognition model reports that a face is present in front of the user, the motion model reports that the user is most likely sitting, the audio model reports a real (non-video) conversation is happening, the location model reports that the environment resembles an office, the object categoriser recognises pens, papers and a conference table. From these cues it's reasonable to assume the user is in a meeting, or at least engaged in a discussion at a workplace, and does not want to be distracted unless it's of some importance.
The approach taken here could vary from hard-coded rules to a fuzzier approach trying to infer the users available attention.
Some examples of contexts in which an AR-OS adapts its behaviour:
Home/relaxing
The above contexts all have distinct expectations from the user:
Concentration vs Exploration- How much the user is focused on a task, and how much they would be receptive to additional information and possibilities.
Privacy — The reasonable expectation of privacy in the situation. Whether the device should set its own mute mode, or prompt the user to set it.
Navigation- Whether the OS should sensitive to the users need to see and navigate where they are going while they are in transit.
Mobility — Whether the OS should be prioritising tags on objects & volumes within arm's reach or further out in the world, due to the user being seated or free to move around.
Social — Whether the user is engaging with other people, and whether those interactions shouldn't be interrupted.
Contexts can also be used to trigger certain tags, for example calendar & notes tags may appear during phone calls, or a favourite route-planner when entering train stations.
Mute Mode
For moments where the contextual system fails, where the user anticipates their own needs, or where they want to guarantee no distractions, they can enable a 'mute mode'. This fully disables cameras, positional sensors, and the display until the user resumes them.
At the beginning this is less of an issue as users are putting on AR glasses for specific tasks they are comfortable with, but once users move to full-time wear it will become important for context to be handled sensitively and sensor-state clearly communicated to both the user and others. At the beginning this may be as simple as taking on/off the glasses.
The bits I might have gotten wrong
I have made a few underlying assumptions that (if wrong) could easily change the nature of an AR-OS:
Third-party software is available on an app-store
This assumption is one most would take for granted, but the one I'm least certain about — after all the iPhone itself launched without the app store. The complexity, UX considerations, and privacy implications of third-party code make app stores less attractive to glasses-makers; at least at the beginning. The first glasses to have a security flaw allowing remote camera access will be a global news event.
However, the billions of dollars of revenue provided by app stores, and sheer cultural momentum of what constitutes a hardware platform does make an app store likely , even if those apps are severely limited by permissions.
Big problems will be solved via magic
I've glossed over what I see as the two biggest barriers to AR glasses — social stigma and battery life.
I don't think the aesthetic drawbacks will be insurmountable (I remember what people looked like when bluetooth headsets first arrived), but I think the road will be long and paved with plastic reminders that fashion is a difficult discipline in itself.
Battery life speaks for itself — all-day use simply isn't possible yet. There is promise in lower-energy displays that project directly onto the retina, but continual processing of a 3D environment will remain an expensive process.

In order to avoid deficiency diseases caused by its non-existence like fatigue, depression, hair loss and severe pain in the muscle, it is downright necessary to know about this vitamin and its sources.
Further, we necessarily need to ensure that we consume the right amount of vitamin B7, as our body deserves to consume certain requirements. From thickening your hair to letting your nails grow healthy, this vitamin is capable of it all.
Out of all the types of Vitamin B, B7 happens to hit the list along with B9, B12, B6 and several others. Vitamin B7 was also known as 'Vitamin H' and 'Coenzyme R' back in the day.
Biotin is further, another popular name for this vitamin. People eagerly consume biotin supplements/Vitamin B7 in order to increase their nail growth.
A research, however, states that after 6 months of consuming biotin nails were thicker and less brittle. This vitamin maintains your body tissues, healthy skin, and helps decrease obesity.
Consequently, if you don't consume this vitamin, you're most likely to witness severe pains, fatigue, and frequent hair loss. This article will take away all your possible queries, as I will be putting in front of you, open and wide, almost everything you need to know of this vitamin.
As mentioned above, it is downright important to have said it again as the benefits are relatively high. Vitamin B7 revitalises your reduced skin color that is caused due to bad health and environmental changes.
Further, it helps increase hair growth. On the contrary, if a person experiences dandruff, it is pretty evident to state that the person is suffering from B7 deficiency.
To add a subtle glow to your skin and to experience thicker, luscious hair, turning to frequent B7 consumption is the wisest act to perform.
Consumption of B7 helps repair your tissue, prevents further damage and is a natural healer. Consequently, Vitamin B7 ensures a proper functioning of nervous system. It further activates your messaging cells, growing your brain stronger.
In addition, B7 plays a vital role in further growing your bone narrow. It also helps increase your working memory, ensuring a healthful mentality.
Consumption of vitamin B7 majorly reduces surplus fat in our body ensuring the consumer gets a healthier weight. Further, for people suffering from obesity, their physicians prescribe them adequate intake of this vitamin as it helps so much to a next level.
It is downright evident to state that vitamin B7 is one of the best components to reduce cholesterol in the human body. It can provoke diseases like heart attacks and strokes which is why B7 helps along the way.
Consequently, vitamin B7 is much helpful in fortifying the actual functioning of the heart by securing it from most critical problems.
As we all know for a fact that high fluctuation of blood sugar level is downright harmful to the human body, even worse for people suffering from diabetes. Vitamin B7 is proven to be helpful in maintaining it.
To be precise, the human body needs to regulate insulin, and B7 is the core compound doing just that. Therefore, it not only helps people with diabetes to maintain their sugar levels, but it also reduces the risk of becoming a diabetic.
Vegetables including sweet potatoes, broccoli, peas, cauliflower, cabbage, and spinach.
Fruits like grapefruit, watermelon, raspberries, strawberries, and bananas are further enriched with Vitamin B7.
Grains including lentils, soybeans, oats, bran, wheat germ, unpolished brown rice are healthy sources of Vitamin B7. In addition, wheat with very low bioavailability is certain to buy high proportions of Vitamin B7.
Fishes like haddock, salmon, tuna and sardines are best enriched with Vitamin B7.
Although, one of the best sources of Vitamin B7 are considered to be liver and kidney. A whole day's dose of B7 can be obtained from liver meat. As well as, beef and chicken sustain high nutritional values of this vitamin.
In addition, dietitians nowadays highly recommend the usage of egg yolks into their daily diet as it is one of the best and easily approachable source of Vitamin B7. Not only is it low on the pocketbook, but sustains all the nutrients healthful body demands.
However, raw egg whites must be avoided under each circumstance of this case as they can hamper the body's ability to absorb B7. Dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt are also moderate sources of B7.
Babies that are 0-12 months should consume 7 mcg a day.
For toddlers aged 1-3 years, 8 mcg should be taken as an adequate daily intake.
Children aged 4-8 years should consume 12 mcg of B7 every day.
Teenagers aged 9-13 years should consume 20 mcg a day.
Adolescents aged 14-18 should eat 25 mcg of Vitamin B7 daily.
Adults that are +18 and pregnant women should consume an adequate intake of 30 mcg of vitamin B7 every day.
Breastfeeding women should have an intake of 35 mcg of B7 each day.
As for a final note, being a compound that already exists in our body, makes it further crucial for a constant reload. We must assure that our body is safe from every possible deficiency disease. This can only be carried out if biotin is consumed regularly.


10 min ago Priyanka Gandhi to contest against PM Modi in Allahabad?
Mumbai, Jan 1: Security is at an all time high and the sleuths of the Intelligence Bureau are keeping a close watch on elements who would incite violence during the Bhima-Koregaon anniversary.
While the locals are according a warm welcome to several thousand visitors who are arriving to pay their tribute at 'jay stambh,' they also have on their back of their minds the violence that erupted last year during the 200th commemoration.
IB officials tell OneIndia that the radar on several elements is very high. We are keeping a close tab on both naxals, their city friends and those associated with them. While the security mechanism is better prepared this year, there would be some elements would look to incite violence like how they did last year. We will ensure that nothing untoward takes place, the officer also said.
The officer also added that while several activists sympathetic of the naxalites had been arrested, there are still many who are underground. They would attempt to disrupt peace, the officer also added.
The Pune police in its chargesheet filed said that some of the naxal leaders were conspiring to incite violence. They also said that the naxals were trying to mobilise and incite Dalits and the Elgar Parishad conclave in Pune last December was part of this strategy.
Further the police also said that it was the naxal backed conclave that aggravated the violence at the Koregaon-Bhima last year on January 1. The over 5,000-page charge sheet named 10 persons, including activists Surendra Gadling, Mahesh Raut, Shoma Sen, Rona Wilson and Sudhir Dhavale, all arrested on June 6.
Besides, it named five Maoist leaders believed to be underground: Dipak alias Milind Teltumbade, Kishan Da alias Prashant Bose, Prakash alias Rituparn Goswami, Deepu and Manglu.
The larger conspiracy of CPI (Maoists) was to overthrow the democratic system in the country, and the accused were working in that direction, the charge sheet claimed.
The Elgar Parishad had been organised with "inspiration, money and directions" of Maoists, it alleged.
"It is the policy of the CPI (Maoists)... to mobilise Dalit community's sentiments and mislead them and provoke them to take violent path against the system," it said.

This post is a little bit outdated!
Wardriving has nothing to do with warmongering. It is an abbreviation of Wireless Access Revolution Driving. Wardriving is an activity consisting of driving around with a laptop in one's vehicle, detecting Wi-Fi wireless networks.
While some wardrivers do engage in more malicious hacking endeavors, the average wardriver – and so am I – is typically only out to log and collect information from the Access Points (AP's) they find while driving.
I have installed Debian Sid/Unstable Linux on my Thinkpad T40p. Currently I use a 2.6.9-rc1-mm5 kernel with some additional patches. My kernel configuration is available in the files section.
The internal 54MBit/s WiFi Card of the T40p works fine with the driver from the MadWiFi project.
I bought an NMEA compatible USB GPS-Mouse with Evermore chipset from eBay which works fine with the pl2303 kernel module. You need to enable CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_PL2303=y in your kernel configuration. Once modprobed, the module detects the GPS-Mouse whenever it is plugged in, so it can easily be accessed via /dev/ttyUSB0.
The primary WLAN sniffing software I use is Kismet. Making Kismet and the MadWifi driver working together is only possible with the developer release of Kismet, which can be checked out via subversion. The Kismet source comes with a nice gpsmap tool, which needs a recent libmagick6-dev library to run. If you don't want to plot maps, you can compile Kismet without it.
My Kismet configuration file is available in the files section.
Ethereal can be used to analyse the log files which are produces by Kismet. Here's a screenshot.
Another nice program is GpsDrive, which works perfectly together with Kismet and shows a moving map with all the detected hotspots. It uses a free map service to download maps automatically via mouse click. Nice!
GpsDrive can store the detected networks in a mysql database.
After a while of ][ you will want to plot some maps of your collected data. Kismet produces a lot of files. The .gps – files can by used by gpsmap to do it. The following line creates a large map (1280×1024) of your data. The open networks will be marked green and the wep-encrypted spots will appear red. The estimated distance of the hotspots is shown as circles. Isn't it nice?
Maps removed due to legal issues!

Nine Defendants, Including Title Company Owners and Lawyers, Indicted in Two Separate Mortgage Fraud Schemes
CHICAGO—A couple who owned a now-defunct suburban title company, a disbarred attorney, and an attorney are among nine defendants who have been indicted in two separate mortgage fraud cases, federal law enforcement officials announced today. Seven defendants were charged together in one case, and two in the second case, together alleging schemes to fraudulently obtain at least four residential mortgage loans totaling more than $1 million from lenders.
Both indictments allege that the mortgages were obtained to finance the purchase of properties on Chicago's South Side, using fraudulent means such as straw purchasers, short sales, inflated prices, and unqualified buyers, while the defendants allegedly profited. As a result, the lenders incurred losses because the mortgages were not fully recovered through subsequent sale or foreclosure.
Seven defendants were charged in an indictment that was unsealed on Monday following the arrest of HARVEY WRIGHT, 46, of Chicago, a disbarred South Holland attorney; and PRECIOUS HOUSE, 47, of Chicago. Also indicted, but not arrested, were DAVID GUEL, 60, and his wife, MARY GLEASON, 48, both of Blue Island; MUNTAZER ALI SAIYED, also known as "Monty Saiyed," 37, of Bartlett; SAGED ANSARI, 32, of Hanover Park; and AZEEM SYED, 30, of Bolingbrook. All seven were charged with two counts of wire fraud and House, Syed, Saiyed, and Ansari were also charged with one count each of identity theft. The indictment seeks forfeiture of more than $800,000.
Guel and Gleason owned and operated the former U.S. Worldwide Title Services LLC, a title company located in Downers Grove.
All seven defendants pleaded not guilty yesterday or Monday in U.S. District Court and were released on bond. A status hearing was scheduled for January 13.
According to the indictment, between September 2008 and March 2009, the defendants caused two fraudulent mortgage loans to be issued by lenders for properties at 4823 South Racine Avenue and 6738 South Marshfield Avenue. The alleged fraud involved false representations in documents, including real estate contracts, loan applications, title commitments, and HUD-1 settlement statements concerning sales prices, the true disbursement of the loan proceeds at closing, the buyer's assets, employment, and income.
The defendants allegedly used straw buyers who had no intention of residing in the property and making mortgage payments, as well as stolen identities of individuals who did not know that their identities were being used to purchase property. Guel, Gleason, Wright, and House allegedly conducted "double closings" at Worldwide Title in which a single property was sold twice through a short sale of the property from an owner to a buyer, who only temporarily took ownership before immediately re-selling to a second buyer at an inflated sales price using a fraudulently obtained mortgage to finance the purchase.
House allegedly facilitated the double closings by recruiting individuals to pose as the first and second buyers and arranging for them to use stolen identities provided by Syed, Saiyed, and Ansari, in connection with the transactions, the indictment alleges.
Guel, Gleason, and Wright allegedly prepared fraudulent documents stating that the properties had been transferred into a trust approximately a year before the double closing to conceal from the lender that the property was being sold twice, including on the same day. These three defendants and House allegedly obtained loan proceeds for their own personal benefit.
This case is part of Operation Mad House, an undercover investigation designed to combat mortgage and real estate fraud in the Chicago area with a focus on professionals in the real estate industry. Since 2009, more than 50 defendants have been convicted, including title company operators, mortgage brokers, licensed appraisers, and attorneys.
The charges were announced by Zachary T. Fardon, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois; Robert J. Holley, Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Barry McLaughlin, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General in Chicago; and James C. Lee, Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division in Chicago.
The government is being represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sunil Harjani and Kathryn Malizia.
In an unrelated case, GEORGE KOUVELIS, 39, of Bloomingdale, who bought and sold residential properties, and KARIM DURE, 39, of Chicago, an Evanston attorney, were each charged with two counts of wire fraud in an indictment that was unsealed on November 14 after Kouvelis was arrested. Kouvelis and Dure, who was not arrested, both pleaded not guilty and were released on bond. Their next court date is January 6. The indictment seeks forfeiture of $521,250.
According to the indictment, between November 2008 and March 2009, Kouvelis and Dure caused a buyer to obtain two fraudulent mortgage loans to purchase Kouvelis' properties at 5804 South Princeton Avenue and 5563 South Shields Avenue. The defendants allegedly made false representations in documents, including real estate contracts, loan applications, and HUD-1 settlement statements concerning inflated sales prices, money paid to the buyer for purchasing the properties, the buyer's assets, liabilities, and source of down payment.
The indictment alleges that Kouvelis fraudulently obtained mortgage loan proceeds through false closing documents, which concealed that the buyer was being paid to purchase the properties; concealed that the funds being used for down payments were provided by another individual; inflated purchase prices; and concealed that the buyer was contributing little or no equity to the transactions. Dure allegedly represented the buyer knowing that the loans were being funded based on false information about the buyer's qualifications, including a will submitted by the buyer and a letter that Dure submitted to the lender verifying that the buyer had received $200,000 from his grandfather's estate.
Mr. Fardon announced the Kouvelis/Dure charges with Mr. McLaughlin, Mr. Holley, and Tony Go´mez, Inspector in Charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service in Chicago. The government is being represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Yonan.
Each count of wire fraud carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and restitution is mandatory. The identity theft count against defendants House, Syed, Saiyed, and Ansari carries a maximum of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. If convicted, the court may impose an alternate fine totaling twice the loss to any victim or twice the gain to the defendant, whichever is greater. The court must impose a reasonable sentence under federal sentencing statutes and the advisory United States Sentencing Guidelines.
The public is reminded that indictments contain only charges and are not evidence of guilt. The defendants are presumed innocent and are entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Since 2008, several hundred defendants have been charged in federal court in Chicago and Rockford with engaging in various mortgage fraud schemes involving more than 1,000 properties and more than $300 million in potential losses, signifying the high priority that federal law enforcement officials give mortgage fraud in an effort to deter others from engaging in crimes relating to residential and commercial real estate.
Today's announcement is part of efforts underway by the Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force (FFETF), which was created in November 2009 to wage an aggressive, coordinated, and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. With more than 20 federal agencies, 94 U.S. attorneys' offices, and state and local partners, it's the broadest coalition of law enforcement, investigatory and regulatory agencies ever assembled to combat fraud. Since its formation, the task force has facilitated increased investigation and prosecution of financial crimes; enhanced coordination and cooperation among federal, state, and local authorities; addressed discrimination in the lending and financial markets; and conducted outreach to the public, victims, financial institutions, and other organizations. Over the past three fiscal years, the Justice Department has filed more than 10,000 financial fraud cases against nearly 15,000 defendants, including more than 2,700 mortgage fraud defendants.

Q: Android spinner on dialog crashes if the spinner is open (list up) and you rotate the device I have a Dialog with a couple of buttons and a spinner that seems to work fine except my app crashes under the following circumstances:
 1. start activity
 2. show dialog with Activity::showDialog (gets created in onCreateDialog)
 3. click on the spinner so that it shows the list
 4. spinner puts up an AlertDialog
 5. rotate the device
 6. crash with IllegalArgumentException
I can see that the Activity has gone away and also that my Dialog has gone away but the AlertDialog put up by the Spinner remains. I would just dismiss the Spinner AlertDialog but it is a private member of the Spinner class (I checked the Android source code) so there is no way to access it.
If you move the Spinner to the Activity you get:
 1. start activity
 2. click on spinner so that it shows the list
 3. spinner puts up an AlertDialog
 4. rotate the device
 5. spinner AlertDialog disappears
 6. activity is shown rotated
I can only conclude that either:
 1. you are simply not supposed to put a spinner on an Dialog (or AlertDialog), or
 2. there is a bug in Dialog or Activity
Does anyone has any wisdom on this issue?

A: In the manifest, add this to the declaration of your activity:
android:configChanges="orientation"

A: I had the same issue with PopupWindow. The solution is to call
popup.dismiss()

in the onDestroy() method.

Cecile Arnold (born Cecile Laval Arnoux; July 9, 1893 – June 18, 1931) was an American silent film actress and Ziegfeld Follies girl.

Early life
Cecile Laval Arnoux was born in Louisville, Kentucky, on July 9, 1893, although some sources indicate 1891, 1897, and 1898.

She had one sibling, a brother, Given Campbell Arnoux (1895–1966).

Her father, Anthony Arnoux (1865–1932), was born in New York City and was a newspaper reporter. Her parents divorced, and Arnold's mother, Susan Campbell (1872–1930), remarried to Albert D. Evans in St. Louis, Missouri in 1902. After having 3 more children there, the family moved to Texas.

Career
Arnold, who was known for playing vamps, was a Ziegfeld Follies girl before moving to Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios in 1913. She appeared in at least fifty films with notable figures such as Charlie Chaplin, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Mack Swain and Chaplin's half brother Syd until 1917. Perhaps her most memorable role is as the vamp in The Face on the Bar Room Floor.

Arnold had multiple aliases, one of them being Cecele Arno, which she used when she was in the chorus of the 1916 Al Jolson show Robinson Crusoe, Jr.

Personal life
Arnold married her first husband, Chauncy Frank Reynolds, who was an actor at Keystone, in 1917. They divorced in 1919, and, while on a trip to China with her newspaper reporting brother, met David Toeg, a stock broker from a wealthy Syrian family.

Toeg and Arnold married, and resided in Hong Kong together. According to Brent Walker's book, Mack Sennett's Fun Factory, she left Hong Kong for San Francisco in 1922 so her child could be born in America. She departed from Hong Kong on June 14, 1924, and her son, Robert Raphael Toeg, who was reportedly the result of an affair with Nicolai Nicolaivich Merkuloff (1905–1972), a Russian merchant, was born on March 15, 1925, in San Francisco. Curiously, some sources list Arnold's mother as the mother of Robert.

Toeg and Arnold divorced sometime before June 18, 1931, according to Arnold's death certificate.

Death
Cecile died on June 18, 1931, of acute infective myocarditis. She is buried at Happy Valley Roman Catholic Cemetery in Hong Kong.

Q: I'm having problem collecting data from LinkedIn. What should I do?
LinkedIn is a complicate website since they have anti-bot measures. So if you try to collect data from LinkedIn and keep opening many LinkedIn web pages, it may think that you're a robot and shut down your account.
Octoparse is a software that mimics your operation on the web page like clicking etc.
1. Different account types have different limit on search. It shouldn't be a problem to scrape data from LinkedIn within the commercial use limit on search.
2. The X Path of the information is correct. i.e. You should locate the right position of the data you plan to crawl.
3. Set a longer Ajax timeout like 30 seconds or even more.The result will take a longer time to come out after that.
