Millions of Android phone users 'at risk of being hacked' due to poor update support

Many Android phone brands offer vital security updates for only two years after the launch of a phone, although customers may end up using the phone for up to six years, putting them at risk of being hacked.
Despite handsets appearing to work as normal, users could be putting themselves at risk of data theft or having their phones infected with ransomware and a range of other malware attacks that could leave them facing bills for hundreds of pounds, consumer group Which? warned.
A new Which? report said recently out-of-support devices might not immediately have problems, but without security updates, the risk to the user of being hacked increases dramatically. It also said it is concerned about the lack of awareness of this issue among phone users.
Handsets from brands like Apple (AAPL), Samsung (005930.KS) and Huawei were found to be capable of lasting six years or more before they needed replacing due to faults or issues with performance. However, while Apple provides software support for five or six years, some Android brands only offer these vital updates for two or three years.

Which? said brands must be more transparent with consumers about their update policies and practices, and communicate clearly when a device will no longer be supported.
These findings "further highlight the importance and urgency of new laws proposed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport requiring smart devices sold in the UK to adhere to basic security requirements," the report said.
The consumer group said it is calling for strong enforcement measures for companies that let down their customers by failing to live up to their commitments.
In a survey of more than 15,000 Which? members, a third of people (32%) said they kept their handset for more than four years.
The Which? research found that only a handful (7%) of those surveyed reported a lack of ongoing support as the reason they had replaced their phone, showing a lack of awareness about the issue.
Another concern Which? pointed out was that without security updates beyond two or three years, phones that could otherwise be in good working order cannot be used or resold without putting their owners at risk. This adds to the UK's growing electronic waste problem when they end up discarded in landfill sites.

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
Patent Law, HIPPO, and the Biodiversity Crisis, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 624 (2010)
Andrew W. Torrance
Planet earth is host to a dazzling variety of living organisms. This diversity of life, or "biodiversity," is vital to the survival and prosperity of humanity, supplying such vital amenities as food, clothing, shelter, natural biochemicals useful in medicine, industry, and agriculture, and even irreplaceable ecosystem services, such as clean air and water. Despite the prodigious amount of biodiversity on earth, human activities have been depleting it at an accelerating rate that has now reached the level of a mass extinction event. The five greatest threats to biodiversity can be summarized by the "HIPPO" acronym: (1) Habitat loss, (2) Invasives, (3) Pollution, (4) Population, and (5) Overexploitation. Together, these five factors describe the phenomena largely responsible for the current mass extinction event, and patent law offers valuable assistance in combating each one. Though it cannot offer a complete solution to the biodiversity crisis, the patent system can offer powerful tools to help save biodiversity. On first inspection, patent law might appear an unlikely ally for conserving biodiversity for at least two reasons. First, beyond bioprospecting, patents would seem only tangentially relevant to biodiversity loss. Second, as a tool for promoting economic growth, the patent system might be viewed as contributing to biodiversity loss by those who assume that economic growth and environmental protection are mutually antithetical. However, patents can indeed benefit biodiversity. This article illustrates how patents can combat each of the major threats to biodiversity that constitute the HIPPO acronym. By creating an extinction bar to patentability, patents create incentives for bioprospectors, biopharmaceutical firms, and countries that host abundant biodiversity to prevent habitat destruction. Sovereign immunity provides the federal and state governments with the right to make use of patented inventions useful for countering invasives. Existing compulsory licensing schemes provide models for how patented pollution abatement technologies could be widely disseminated to combat pollution. The incentives created by the patent system can help to create more efficient new technologies capable of counteracting the damage inflicted on biodiversity by human population growth. Finally, the patent system has already proved itself adept at spurring the creation of ingenious inventions capable of alleviating overexploitation of biodiversity. Though far from a panacea, the patent system does have important roles to play in ameliorating the biodiversity crisis.

Grove House Home for Older People
Grove House Home for Older People Good
Inspection carried out on 22 January 2018
During a routine inspection
This inspection took place on the 22 and 26 January 2018. The first day of the inspection was unannounced which meant the home were not expecting us on the date of the inspection.
Our last inspection of the home was carried out in December 2016. At that inspection we rated the service as 'Requires Improvement' overall and also for each domain. At the last inspection we found the home to be in breach of four regulations of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014. These were in relation to regulation 11, Need for consent, two breaches of regulation 12, Safe care and treatment and regulation 17, Good governance. At this inspection we found the home had met all the previous breaches of regulations and had improved the overall rating from 'Requires Improvement' to 'Good', as well as for each of the five domains.
Grove House Home for Older People (Grove House) is registered to provide accommodation and personal care for up to 47 older people. The home is located close to higher Adlington and is set in its own grounds. Accommodation is provided in 46 single bedrooms, five of which have en-suite facilities. The home has four distinct areas known as Cedar Court, Elm Court, Oak Court and Willow Court. With the exception of Willow Court all other areas provide support and care for people living with dementia. At the time of the inspection there were 41 people living in the home.
Grove House Home for Older People is a 'care home'. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as a single package under one contractual agreement. CQC regulates both the premises and the care provided, and both were looked at during this inspection.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
There was a manager in place at the time of our inspection, who was in the process of applying to the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to be the registered manager of Grove House Home for Older People. During the compilation of this report the manager was successful in becoming registered. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are 'registered persons'. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.
The service had systems in place to record safeguarding concerns, accidents and incidents and took necessary action, as was required. Staff had received safeguarding training and they understood their responsibilities to report unsafe care or abusive practices.
Risk assessments had been developed to minimise the potential risk of harm to people during the delivery of their care. These had been kept under review and were relevant to the care provided.
Staff had been recruited safely, appropriately trained and supported. They had skills, knowledge and experience required to support people with their personal and social care needs.
Medication procedures we observed protected people from unsafe management of their medicines. People received their medicines as prescribed and when needed and appropriate records had been completed.
Staffing levels were seen to be sufficient to meet the assessed needs of the people at the home. Staffing had been an issue prior to the new home manager coming into post but we saw evidence to show that these issues had been resolved and that agency use was now limited.
We looked around the building and found it had been maintained, was clean and hygienic and a safe place for people to live.
The design of the building and facilities provided were dated, but these were in the process of being modernised. We saw some redecoration had already begun to take place and people were involved in choosing colour sch

Inspection carried out on 12 December 2016
We carried out an inspection of Grove House Home for Older People on 12 and 14 December 2016. The first day was unannounced.
Grove House Home for Older People is registered to provide accommodation and personal care for up to 46 older people. The home is located close to higher Adlington and is set in its own grounds. Accommodation is provided in 46 single bedrooms, five of which have an ensuite. The home has four distinct areas known as Cedar Court, Elm Court, Oak Court and Willow Court. With the exception of Willow Court all other areas provided support and care for people living with dementia. At the time of the inspection there were 38 people accommodated in the home.
The home had a manager who had begun the application process for registration with the Commission. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are 'registered persons'. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.
At the last inspection on 8 July 2014, the service was found to be meeting the regulations applicable at that time.
During this inspection, we found there was a breach of four regulations relating to failures in medicines management, the assessment of risks, providing care without consent from a relevant person and maintaining accurate and up to date records. You can see what action we told the provider to take at the back of the full version of the report. We also a made a recommendation in respect to enabling people to participate in the support planning process.
People told us they felt safe and staff treated them well. Safeguarding adults' procedures were in place and staff understood how to safeguard people from abuse. We were aware a safeguarding investigation was on-going at the time of our visit and were concerned to note that although the social worker had asked on three occasions for some documentation this had not been provided.
Whilst some risks had been assessed and documented, we found a risk assessment had not been carried out to manage the risks associated with one person's behaviour and there was no risk assessment to assess a person's potential of developing pressure ulcers and no management plan following deterioration in their skin integrity.
There were shortfalls in the management of medicines especially in relation to prescribed creams. There were significant gaps in the records used for the application of creams, which meant it was difficult to determine if the creams were being used correctly. We checked the audits carried out and noted the shortfalls had not been picked up, which meant no action had been taken.
We noted staff were crushing one person's medicines and giving it to them without their knowledge. However, there was no documentation in place to support this practice in line with the Mental Capacity Act 2005.
Staff told us they had received appropriate training, however, not all staff had received a supervision session and none of the staff had received an appraisal of their work performance. Four members of staff expressed concerns about the staffing levels in the home. We checked the staff rota and were assured by the manager that two staff were allocated to work in each area of the home.
We observed staff acted in a courteous, professional and safe manner when supporting people and all people spoken with told us the staff were caring and helpful. People also confirmed they enjoyed the food provided in the home and had access to healthcare services as necessary.
All people had an individual care plan, however, we found some people's plans had not been reviewed and updated in line with changing needs.
An activity co-ordinator had recently been employed in the home and they were in the process of developing an activity programme. However, there were poor arrangements p

Inspection carried out on 8 July 2014
We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. This inspection was planned to check whether the provider is meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and to pilot a new inspection process being introduced by CQC which looks at the overall quality of the service.
We carried out an unannounced inspection. Prior to the visit we spoke with 11 health professionals that had visited the home. During our inspection we spoke with nine people who used the service, seven relatives, three care staff, one activities co-ordinator and the registered manager.
Grove House home for Older People provides accommodation for care without nursing for up to 46 people who are living with a dementia, older people and people with a physical disability. On the day of our inspection there were 43 people living in the home. There were four units in the home. The registered manager told us the units were referred to as courts. Three of the courts cared for people living with a dementia.
There was a registered manager in place for the home and had been in place since May 2012. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service and has the legal responsibility for meeting the requirements of the law; as does the provider.
We received complimentary feedback about the service, staff and the registered manager from people using services, family and visiting professionals. We observed positive interactions between staff and people using services. Staff were seen to be speaking kindly to people, offering them choices and time to make decisions.
People who used the service and their family told us they felt safe and well cared for in the home. We saw evidence of training provided to staff in the protection of vulnerable adults. Staff we spoke with were able to tell us appropriate procedures to take if they suspected abuse was taking place and they were aware of the whistleblowing policy for the home.
We saw evidence of completed Deprivation of Liberty Applications in place for one person who used the service. Most staff were able to tell us about the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards [DoLS] however, one of the staff members we spoke with could not provide us with the assurance that they understood DoLS for people living in the home. The Mental Capacity Act [MCA] and DoLS provide legal safeguards for people who may be unable to make decisions about their care.
We found people who used the service received care that was relevant to their needs. This was because care files had been reviewed and updated regularly. Staff told us they referred to peoples care plans to provide them with the information they needed to care for people safely and effectively.
There was evidence of staff training and the home had plans in place for staff training over the coming months. Staffing levels were monitored regularly to ensure appropriate staffing numbers were in place to care to for the needs of people living in the home. New approaches to recruitment had been introduced which included the involvement of people who used the service.
Staff attended team meetings and confirmed they were able to take an active part in these. Effective systems for monitoring the quality of service provision were in place and we were shown examples of actions taken such as complaints investigations and audits of care files.
Activities were an important part of everyday life in the home. The registered manager encouraged activities on a one to one basis as well as group activities. Examples given were all people who used the service attended a village fete the weekend prior to our inspection and one person had shown an interest in attending painting classes, this had been organised in the local community by the home.

Inspection carried out on 12 July 2013
At the time of our inspection there were 42 people living at Grove House Home for Older People. We spoke to a number of residents, relatives and visiting professional who visited on the day as well as staff working at the home. People who lived at the home were positive about their experiences and the comments received reflected this. One person living at the home stated, "All the staff are fabulous, all of them. They tell me what they are doing and knock on my door before they come in. I don't think I really get asked what I want to do but I'm happy as I am, I love it here".
People's needs were assessed and care and support was planned and delivered in line with their individual care needs. From speaking to staff it was clear that they were able to act appropriately in the event of an emergency such as a fire or a medical issue.
Equipment used in the home was stored correctly and well maintained. Staff knew how to use the equipment and confirmed that there was always enough equipment in place to meet the needs of the people in the home.
The provider had an effective system in place to identify, assess and manage risks to the health and safety of people using the service and others.

Inspection carried out on 13 August 2012
People were satisfied with the service provided, one person told us, "It is a very nice home, I have no worries about anything" and another person said, "I feel at home, the staff are lovely". People told us their rights to privacy, dignity and independence were upheld and respected.
People's care was planned and delivered in accordance with their needs. People had detailed individual care plans which were supported by a series of risk assessments. We saw evidence that people had discussed their care plans with staff and they had signed the plans wherever possible to indicate their agreement.
People had mixed views about the food provided. Since our last inspection a new menu had been introduced. All people spoken with said they enjoyed their meal on the day of our visit and confirmed they were always offered a choice.
We found staff had received training on safeguarding vulnerable adults and had access to appropriate policies and procedures. Staff had an understanding of the safeguarding processes and knew how to raise an alert.
There were suitable arrangements in place to record the administration of medication, however, we found cream charts had not been fully completed and it was therefore unclear if staff had consistently assisted people with their prescribed creams.
People told us they were happy with the premises and in particular their bedrooms. Suitable arrangements were in place for general maintenance and repair.
People made complimentary comments about the staff team and staff were observed to have a respectful and sensitive approach to meeting people's needs.
We found there were established systems to monitor the quality and operation of the service. We saw evidence to demonstrate that people were regularly consulted about their opinion of the service and their comments were used to shape future developments in the home.

Inspection carried out on 14 September 2011
People told us they were happy with the care provided in the home, one person said, "Everyone is very nice and we are looked after well". People confirmed their rights to privacy and dignity were respected and they were involved in the planning and review of their care plans. However, the two care plans we looked at during the visit had not been updated in line with people's current needs and one plan lacked detail.
People living in the home shared a good relationship with the staff and people were encouraged to participate in conversation and discussions. However, some people told us that although they were listened to they were not confident action would be taken. There was no evidence a residents' meeting had been held on Willow unit and satisfaction questionnaires had not been distributed. Following the inspection the manager confirmed a meeting had been held with the people on this unit in order to discuss and resolve their concerns.

Gay or straight? Watch his walk
Sept. 13, 2007, 11:07 PM UTC / Source: msnbc.com
By Melissa DahlMelissaDahlHealth writermailto:melissa.dahl@msnbc.com
Is he gay or straight? At a glance, the key to telling might be in the way he walks.
A swing of the hips or a swaggered shoulder is enough for many casual observers to identify a man's sexual orientation, according to a study published in the September issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
Observers were only able to accurately guess the sexual orientation of men; with women, their guesses didn't exceed chance. But what's most interesting to researchers is understanding how that snap judgment can unleash a series of stereotypes — even from the most liberal-minded.
"This is important for the understanding of perception and feelings of assumptions and bias," says lead author Kerri Johnson, an assistant professor of communications at the University of California, Los Angeles. "Once you know an individual's sexual orientation, every else that happens is seen through that lens."
Johnson and her colleagues attached motion sensors, like those used in the movie industry, to the hips and shoulders of eight volunteers – four men and four women, half of whom were gay. The motion sensors captured the only movements of the walkers, masking details such as clothing or hairstyles.
The researchers videotaped the volunteers walking on a treadmill at various speeds, and then played the video for 150 undergraduate observers, who were asked to determine the sexual orientation of each person.
Observers' accuracy
As the gay men walked, they slightly swayed their hips. The observers were accurate in assessing the men's sexual orientation a little more than 60 percent of the time.
"There's reason to think that gay people can't conceal their homosexuality," says Michael Bailey, a professor of psychology at Northwestern University. "I don't think it's a performance that gay people enact. I think it's something that either is inborn, or it's acquired very early, perhaps by watching members of the other sex."
Research such as Johnson's may give scientific credence to "gaydar," suggesting that people really can tell whether someone is gay or straight from visual clues.
As the lesbians walked, they slightly moved their shoulders back and forth — Johnson calls it a less exaggerated version of an Arnold Schwarzenegger-type swagger.
But when it came to identifying the sexual orientation of the women, it was all up to chance.
"Women in our society are permitted a greater latitude of behaviors," Johnson says. "They're able to act in masculine ways , and adopt traditional masculine roles. That's been happening since the '60s.
"We're a society that permits women to do this, in fact, celebrates women who do this," she continues. "But we punish men for [adopting feminine traits]."
Johnson jokes that she's often been called a "men's libber," but she hopes her research will provide a foundation to explore those types of gender biases.
The findings aren't meant to be used as a diagnostic test, Johnson says. In other words, don't use her research to out someone. But although the research is getting attention for its results about a distinction in how gay men walk, Johnson and her colleagues were more focused on studying the observers.
"If we know how people use these cues to categorize one another, it can help us understand what happens in how they react with other people," Johnson says.
That quick assessment can mean that the observer is associating that person with stereotypes they've heard — for example, that a gay man isn't as masculine as a straight man. Next, Johnson plans to study the implications of judging someone's sexuality by those visual clues.
Even if we've unconsciously identified a person's sexual orientation, it can affect how we treat that person, says Gerulf Rieger, a lecturer of psychology at Northwestern University. Rieger has worked on similar research projects that deal with people identifying someone's sexual orientation when given very little information.
"We can pick these signals up; we can tell who's gay and who's not," Rieger says. "Understanding how people differ, and accepting those [genetic] differences, can only help tolerance."

Larry Maier and Don Fiehmann tell how to exploit some of the special features of the DCC Specialties PSXs to automate and protect hidden staging.
The PSX series of circuit breakers and reversers were designed to help you manage hidden staging tracks. The issue with hidden staging tracks is that you can't see them, by definition, so how to you stop a train in the correct location and how do you tell if there is a train in a particular staging area? Another problem with hidden storage is with consists. If you have a stopping section without power, the lead engine will go into the dead section and stop, but the trailing locomotives still have power and will continue to run. The PSX series has features to address these problems.
J4-1 and J4-2 are designed as an input for a photocell. These photocells are available through your dealer. When connected, the photocell can perform two operations: it can trigger the PSX to turn off power to the track, and it can provide an indication of block occupancy.
By default, the PSX series will use block current to trigger the block occupied output. However, if CV50 is set to 1, then the block occupied output will be on when the photocell is covered and off when it is uncovered. The block occupied output is from an optical coupler, so it can be connected to anything without danger of shorting things together. The actual output is an open collector transistor. You can connect it to a bus interface such as the LocoNet, or you can just connect it to an LED. For the LED function, connect the positive lead of a 12 volt power source through a 2K resistor to the positive terminal of an LED. Connect the LED negative terminal to J4-3. Connect J4-4 back to the negative terminal of your power source. Install the photocell from J4-1 to J4-2, either polarity is ok. Now any time you cover the photocell, the LED will come on indicating block occupancy.
Now, arm the photocell by sending an accessory on command to address 2043 (this is the default, see the PSX series instructions on how to change the address). The next time the photocell is covered, the PSX will turn the track power off and the block occupied LED will come on. The LED will be on as long as it is covered. Locate the photocell where you want the front of the train to stop in your hidden staging yard. You can locate it between the ties so that the top of the cell is even with the top of the ties. When a train is entering the staging, send an accessory "on" command to the photocell arming address. When the train just covers the photocell, the occupied LED will turn on and power will be removed from the staging track thus stopping the train and turning off all sound and lights. Once the photocell has triggered, it is automatically disabled until you arm it again. This means that when you are ready to move the train out of the staging, you simply send an accessory "on" command to the PSX breaker control address (2042 by default), note that this is a different address from the photocell arm address and the staging track will be powered. Since the photocell is disarmed, it will not immediately turn power off, although the occupied LED will remain on until the train leaves the staging area.
If you really want to get fancy, then include the photocell arming address in a macro or route that aligns the switches into the hidden staging area. Simply aligning the switches for the destination staging track will then arm the photocell for the incoming train. Include the PSX on/off control address in the macro or route for the exit switch configuration from the staging area, and the PSX will automatically turn on power to the staging track when you execute the command to align the switches to allow the train to exit the staging area.
One other feature of the PSX is that the photocell is calibrated to the ambient light level every time that you arm it. If light levels are changing, the PSX will adapt! If your staging area is both hidden and dark, you may need to add a small grain-of-wheat bulb or similar light source above the photocell to allow it to operate correctly. Don't worry too much about this light since the PSX will calibrate the circuit to the light level for you.

Discussion line 73 : Qs: So to the majority, the votes of abstentees are also counted? And as what? For example 2 members abstain, one is against and two are for the proposal. Did they get a simple majority by 4 members, or not, because only the two "for" count? Apparently the first example counts, it passes.
Until the next meeting, the board members shall read the proposal (and make comment). A vote will take place during the next meeting.
The motion has been accepted.
The funds from the previous account have been transfered by Gilles and Paul Bossu to the Fio bank, link: https://ib.fio.cz/ib/transparent?a=2701538320&l=ENGLISH and the previous account has been closed.
Marketa: yes, we have collected the information, the only question was where to spread the information?
Markéta and Peter will send an e-mail informing the Council about this motion separately and question, whether they already paid, confirm how much (https://wiki.ppeu.net//doku.php?id=ppeu:members:fees) and if they want it to be considered pre-paid membership or a donation. And about the 2018 and 2019 invoices and if people are capable of paying.
We need to discuss first aims before we set up a budget.
Task: Marketa will open a pad to begin the work on the aims that the board want to focus on for the budget 2019.
Task for Mikuláš: to discuss with Bastian the technical neccessitites and what need to be done.
a) What needs to be done? Does Sven or Peter need help with something?
Mikuláš: I received some request from Greens or some party in Italy to come to the meeting and present themselves and discuss some kind of a cooperation.
Peter: It is our event and the goal is the CEEP and thus they can present themselves unofficially, but it should stay primarily Pirate.
Mikuláš: We should vote on it, so that I can say it to them officially.
The PPEU Board is open to anyone to join the meeting in Luxembourg, but due to the character of the meeting focused on the Pirate EP campaign doesn't invite anyone officially and conversations held there with other parties or organizations will have an informal character.
Task: Mikuláš and Peter will inform those who asked him about joining the meeting.
Task: Set up an invitation form for these organizations and individuals (Markéta, will send the sheet with registrees to Peter).
The meeting in LUX will not be an official Council Meeting. The Council meeting will be organzed later.
But feel free to discuss it with your PPLU IT guys, Peter. :) What is the best solution.
We discussed the point, and our stance is that it would be better to have it nearer the EU-elections, preferably in late april.
Postponing to the next meeting.
Next meeting: Will be decided by Doodle.


libraries and headers provided by the Cygwin build environment.
I know about this. My cross-compiler is OK. I cross-build many stuff with it.
But Linux kernel build process needs some specific tools, like modpost. They are also built from sources, but they are built to run on the host, not on the target. And of course they use host's (Cygwin's in our case) gcc with its includes.
These tools operate on newly built ELF files, this is why they use these includes.

Q: Why can't Node see an element in an array when it is chosen by variable? In a script I am writing, I am iterating over some messages in a mailbox and attempting to delete ones that have been read. The issue I have been getting though, is that as i iterate over the array, Node says that it cannot find the property id at the given element(which is necessary to delete or view anything). This would be fine if that property didn't exist, but when using util.inspect and specifying 1 instead of the iterator variable, it can find and print that field. The code as it exists is shown below:
             for(var b = 1; b < length; b++){
                setTimeout(function(){
                  console.log(util.inspect(messageList, false, null));
                  console.log(util.inspect(messageList[1], false, null));
                  console.log(util.inspect(messageList[1].id, false, null));
                  console.log(util.inspect(messageList[b].id, false, null));
                  var delID = messageList[b].id;
                  //console.log(util.inspect(messageList, false, null));
                  if(delID){
                    gmail.users.messages.trash({
                      auth:auth,
                      userId: 'me',
                      id: delID,
                    }, function(err2, delObject){
                      if(err2){
                        console.log("The message with ID: "+ delID + " could not be deleted");
                        console.log(err2);
                        return;
                      }
                      else{
                        console.log(util.inspect(delObject, false, null));
                        console.log("Message was deleted with id: " + delID);
                      }
                    })
                  }
                }, 2000);
              }

The lines above where messageList has an actual number instead of a variable shows '157550983b6c1cb' (the apostrophes print out as well). On the line where I switch it with b, it throws:
    TypeError: Cannot read property of undefined
       at Timeout.oneTimeout(.......etc)
       at tryOnTimeout(timers.js:232:11)
       at Time.listonTimeout(timers.js:202:5)

Does this mean that it is impossible to use the variable b inside the Timeout function? If so, how do I get around needing to iterate over the entire messageList with a break in between deletions?

A: because setTimeout is asynchronous, the callback wont get called until the for loop has finished - at this point, b will be messageList.length - so too big
You want to wait 2 seconds between each iteration - one way to do this is with a recursive function call like this
var length = messageList.length;
function myFunction(b) {
    setTimeout(function() {
        console.log(util.inspect(messageList, false, null));
        console.log(util.inspect(messageList[1], false, null));
        console.log(util.inspect(messageList[1].id, false, null));
        console.log(util.inspect(messageList[b].id, false, null));
        var delID = messageList[b].id;
        //console.log(util.inspect(messageList, false, null));
        if (delID) {
            gmail.users.messages.trash({
                auth: auth,
                userId: 'me',
                id: delID,
            }, function(err2, delObject) {
                if (err2) {
                    console.log("The message with ID: " + delID + " could not be deleted");
                    console.log(err2);
                    return;
                } else {
                    console.log(util.inspect(delObject, false, null));
                    console.log("Message was deleted with id: " + delID);
                }
            })
        }
        b += 1;
        if (b < length) {
            myFunction(b);
        }
    }, 2000);
}
if (messageList.length > 0) {
    myFunction(0);
}
// note - any code here will run immediately!
// it wont wait for the "iteration" to complete -
// if you need to wait for the above to finish,
// that's a whole other set of problems

as per comments, if you want the first iteration to run immediately, change the code to

var length = messageList.length;
function myFunction(b) {
    console.log(util.inspect(messageList, false, null));
    console.log(util.inspect(messageList[1], false, null));
    console.log(util.inspect(messageList[1].id, false, null));
    console.log(util.inspect(messageList[b].id, false, null));
    var delID = messageList[b].id;
    //console.log(util.inspect(messageList, false, null));
    if (delID) {
        gmail.users.messages.trash({
            auth: auth,
            userId: 'me',
            id: delID,
        }, function(err2, delObject) {
            if (err2) {
                console.log("The message with ID: " + delID + " could not be deleted");
                console.log(err2);
                return;
            } else {
                console.log(util.inspect(delObject, false, null));
                console.log("Message was deleted with id: " + delID);
            }
        })
    }
    if (b < length - 1) {
        setTimeout(myFunction, 2000, b + 1);
    }
}
if (messageList.length > 0) {
    myFunction(0);
}
// note - any code here will run immediately!
// it wont wait for the "iteration" to complete -
// if you need to wait for the above to finish,
// that's a whole other set of problems

If you want to have code that runs on completion of the iteration, things can be made a whole lot simpler with Promises - you could use this method regardless if you have code that runs on completion or not

messageList
.slice(1) // skip the first item in the array as per question code - remove this line to start at 0
.reduce(function(prom, messageItem, index) {
    return prom
    .then(function () {
        if (index) { // this avoids the 2 second wait on the first item
            return new Promise(function(resolve) {
                setTimeout(resolve, 2000);
            });
        }
    })
    .then(function() {
        console.log(util.inspect(messageList, false, null));
        console.log(util.inspect(messageItem, false, null));
        console.log(util.inspect(messageItem.id, false, null));
        var delID = messageItem.id;
        //console.log(util.inspect(messageList, false, null));
        if (delID) {
            gmail.users.messages.trash({
                auth: auth,
                userId: 'me',
                id: delID,
            }, function(err2, delObject) {
                if (err2) {
                    console.log("The message with ID: " + delID + " could not be deleted");
                    console.log(err2);
                    return;
                } else {
                    console.log(util.inspect(delObject, false, null));
                    console.log("Message was deleted with id: " + delID);
                }
            });
        }
    });
}, Promise.resolve()) // this starts the promise chain
.then(function() {
    // this code gets called once the "loop" finishes
});
// code here does not wait for the "loop" to finish
// in fact it runs before the first messageList item is even processed

This code does NOT wait for gmail.users.messages.trash to complete before starting the wait for the next iteration - if you need to wait for that, then, again, that's a whole other problem, but very very easily handled when using the promise method

A: That mainly happens because setTimeout being async.
You could try something like this:
for(var a = 1; a < 10; a++) {
    (function(){
        var currentI = a;
        setTimeout(function(){
                console.log('Hi: sec: ', currentI);
        }, 1000);
    }());
}

Using a variable inside, will help you maintain its state

Q: C++ Cross Ref for VIM similar to Source Insight I wanted a cross reference navigation similar to Source Insight.
Lets take simple example:
classA::MethodB()
{
   ...
   m_variable = value;
}

In this example if I use Ctags / Cscope, then when I try to find m_variable, it will show me all the available m_variable. I need to go through each and then find which one is required.
Where as in Source Insight, it clearly gives me the Class delectation.
Is there any such Cross ref tools available for Vim?

A: Vim is not an IDE, it's a text editor.
You can't reasonably expect it to understand your code as well or as deeply as an IDE.
IDEs typically keep a dynamic internal representation of your code which makes them able to track declaration and usage even when you have dozens of methods or variables with the same name. Vim, like most text editors, is not able to do that on its own: it must rely on external tools for indexing/navigating through your code. Now, because of architectural constraints, Vim is incapable of running any background process which is the absolute prerequisite for a real "code intelligence" to be added to Vim.
Given all that, you are left with code indexers like ctags, cscope or GLOBAL. These tools do their best trying to give you accurate results but they are not as smart and as specific as the tools used in IDEs.
To compensate, Vim has a bunch of different commands like :tselect or g] which open a list of possible tags to chose from. Read :h tags, :h ctags and :h cscope for how to deal with those limitations.

A: I've not tried this myself. But sounds like eclim is what you're looking for. http://eclim.org/
It provides eclipse features to be accessible from Vim, including code searching and auto-completion.


Complementary or alternative medicine - what's the difference?
The phrases complementary therapy and alternative medicine are often used as if they mean the same thing; they may also be combined into one phrase – complementary and alternative medicine (CAMs). However, there is an important difference between the two.
A complementary therapy is used alongside conventional medical treatment, whereas an alternative therapy is generally used instead of conventional medical treatment. On occasion, there can be an overlap which is why the term CAM is used.
In our survey, we specifically asked about experience of complementary therapies and 390 people said they had found them very helpful, 267 found them moderately helpful and 119 said they had not helped at all. Respondents listed various types of complementary therapies including mindfulness, meditation, massage, acupuncture, homeopathy and others.
Before undertaking any complementary therapy you should get full information about it and the practitioner and make sure you have clear information about costs and the practitioner's insurance cover. The only complementary therapies that are regulated in the UK are osteopathy and chiropractic. Others have voluntary registers and professional organisations.

21st Century Western culture is continually bombarding Christians with certain ideals in the area of family size. The message of the perfect two-child family has been so engrained into our mindset that we rarely give it a second thought when planning our own families. The propaganda machine started and furthered by many Godless individuals has convinced many through subtle indoctrination. They've preached that certain protocols must be followed in regard to the number of children one family should bring into the world. But is this the way God's people should think? Or have we adopted the world's mindset in this area and fulfilled the scripture about "even the elect would be deceived" in this particular area of our lives? Let's examine some of the reasons Christians have chosen to limit their families and some scriptures regarding this matter.
Where did the concept of the two-child family originate? Throughout history many persons of influence have made statements considering the alleged overpopulation of the world and that couples were irresponsible to bring many children into it. Plato and Aristotle worried about it 500 years BC. Tertullian wrote two centuries after Christ. Jerome thought the world was full in the fourth century. Thomas Malthus came along in 1798 with his Essay on the Principle of Population and set the stage for Margaret Sanger to assert her influence over the past century. She has had the greatest power over the world's mindset because her organizations were able to provide the technology to carry out their theology. For further information on the destructive influence of these anti-natalists, please read, "What About Children?" When we allow God to plan our families we can rest assured to finish with God's perfect number, be it two or ten. Could God's idea of the "perfect family" be the number and spacing He chooses rather than our choice in our limited finite knowledge. What does the Bible say about it?
This, the first directive that God gave to mankind, has never been rescinded. The rest of the verse instructs man to replenish (fill) the earth and subdue (tread down, conquer) it. People have always been prone to congregate in cities from the creation. This helps everyone share goods and services and work together to make a society. From the standpoint of those living in a city, the earth looks pretty full. But if one was to ask a country dweller enjoying the expanse of open land, he might give a different perspective. It is akin to the two blind men describing the elephant from the part they were in contact with. It is not necessarily the whole truth, but only a portion of it.
people: there shall not be male or female barren among you...." See also: Deuteronomy 28:1-6, 30:5, 9, Jeremiah 30:19, Hosea 9:11-17.
Are We Pro-Choice or Pro-Life?
Most Christians would answer Pro-Life. By this they mean that they are against terminating a life that has already been conceived through abortion. But are they really Pro-Life? What if God should so desire to bless them with another family member? Usually not. The majority of the church has openly embraced birth control, even though it's very name clearly implies that someone else is in control other than God. Their bodies, destiny, family size, timing and structure have never been turned over. God's creed has always been conception, birth and life. The world's creed has always been birth control, sterilization and abortion. It all accomplishes the same purpose. Life has been stopped. Whose side are we on?
What does God say about children and Who creates Life. "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate." Psalm 127:3-5.
"But God Gave Us Common Sense"
Couples can read these and more verses and agree that it is God who is the Creator of all Life. When asked, however, if they think God alone should ultimately be in control of the number and spacing of their children, the reply is negative. "God gave us common sense, after all," has been a much used response line. Well, no, the Bible does not say that God gave any such thing. Actually it says the opposite. Isaiah 55:8-9 states, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." And Proverbs 14:12 tells us, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but it"s end is the way of death." So if we cannot trust in ourselves to make the right decision in this matter, whom can we trust?
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5. We are to seek wisdom, but not the wisdom of the world. "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." Isaiah 29:14. "Where is the wise? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?…Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men…But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things that are mighty…that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the LORD." 1 Corinthians 1:20, 25, 27, 31. Does the Bible actually say anywhere that Christian couples are supposed to be exercising control over the number and spacing of their children? Many have never even thought to look and see and have just gone along with the world's wisdom without a second thought on the matter.
Money, Money, Whose Got the Money?
The largest stumbling block is usually, "What about the money to feed and raise a lot of children?" Now on the surface this sounds very noble indeed. The verse typically used to support this is, "But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." 1 Timothy 5:8. Let's take a look to see what this verse is sandwiched between. Verses 3-16 are all dealing with how widows should be treated. Verse 8 is not referring to a man providing for his family at all. It is speaking of the children of a widow staying at home to care for her rather than turning over to the care of the church. It could still be inferred that a man should provide for his household, especially since Paul also says "if anyone will not work, neither shall he eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10. So has God given directives to husbands to take control of their family size based on their own perception of finances and provisions? No, in fact what appears to be a good responsible thing is actually sin according to Jesus. "Therefore do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?" Or "What shall we drink?" Or "What shall we wear?" For after all these things the Gentiles (non-believers) seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:31-34. The passages before these verses show the Lord teaching His disciples that our Father knows our needs and that we need to be concerning ourselves with the things of God rather than the things of money, food, and clothes. We cannot serve both God and mammon. In Matthew 7, Jesus continues to exhort them that we only need to ask and seek and that our Father is faithful to give good things to those who ask Him (Matthew 7:7-11). Here are some more verses concerning God's provisions for His children as opposed to man's worries over the future: "Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing." Psalm 34:8-10. "O Lord, by your hand save me from such men, from men of this world whose reward is in this life. You still the hunger of those you cherish; their sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children." Psalms 17:14 "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread." Psalms 37:25 "Then their numbers decreased, and they were humbled by oppression, calamity, and sorrow; he who pours contempt on nobles made them wander in a trackless waste. But he lifted the needy out of their affliction and increased their families like flocks. The upright see and rejoice, but all the wicked shut their mouths." Psalm 107:39-42.
"But I Don't Have Enough Time to Care for Anymore!"
God never promised any of us enough time to do all the things we want to do. Whether it be with our children or any other pursuits in our lives. We tend to live life making our plans and asking God to bless them as an afterthought. In our own strength we will never have enough time, or patience for that matter, to deal with our children, be it two or ten. But Jesus has patience and we get our strength from Him. Sometimes we also tend to become tunnel-visioned on meeting our children's every whim under the guise of "needs" and feeling guilty if we cannot. We all desire to give each child our very best and plenty of time and love. But we have to face the reality that we cannot physically or mentally be all that they need. Only God can do that.
Are We Crazy to Trust Him?
Many excuse this whole matter as a "pet doctrine" of a fanatical few and shouldn't be regarded since it is not necessary for salvation. When we came to Jesus Christ we asked Him to forgive us of all our sins, past, present and future. We told Him He could have our lives to direct how He pleases. We agreed with Jesus to "take up our cross daily and follow Him." Luke 9:23. We wanted to be on the "narrow path that leads to life" (Matthew 7:14) that few find. We said we would "die to ourselves daily". 1 Corinthians 15:31. Paul told us to, "…resent your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." Romans 12:1. But some have forgotten. "What? You know not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. The bottom line is not about how many children one has, but about trusting God with all our hearts, souls and minds in ALL areas of our lives. If we are withholding one area, what other things are we holding back from His control? Jesus has asked us to come to Him with the simple faith of a child and merely put our trust in Him. Has He not shown us over and over that He can be trusted to do us good and not evil? So if we allow God to control our lives, what does He promise us?

Israel gives Egypt 24 hours to negotiate Gaza ceasefire

Israel has delayed an offensive into Gaza aimed at stemming Palestinian rocket fire following Cairo's request for a further 24hours to broker a ceasefire. Egypt says it has prevented a 'large-scale' operation by Israel in the coastal strip.
"The efforts made by Egypt in the past few days have culminated in the successful prevention of a large-scale Israeli military operation against Gaza," said Egypt's ambassador to the Palestinian Authority, Yasser Othman, as cited by Agence France Presse.The ambassador added that efforts at restoring the truce are continuing. However, the Israelis seem to have plans for a much wider operation if these efforts fail.During the previous week dozens of rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel, resulting in a series of deadly retaliatory air strikes by Israel. The violence killed 12 Palestinians and one Israeli raising fears of a major conflict. On Monday, at least six more rockets were fired into southern Israel undermining fresh reports that Gaza militants were committed to the Egypt-brokered truce. No injuries or damages in Israel were reported. Despite small Gaza factions as Islamic Jihad or the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine being involved into the recent military conflict, Israel holds Hamas accountable for all rockets fired from the strip. Political blogger Larry Derfner from Tel Aviv does not think that an Israeli ground operation in Gaza is imminent. "Not that many missiles or rockets are falling in Israel. Relatively speaking there is not much happening in Gaza. But the main thing is that people who are firing these missiles from Gaza are not Hamas, which by default controls the strip. It is a martial group which cannot fight Israel," Derfner told RT. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for the construction of some 2,000 housing units in the West Bank and east Jerusalem to be accelerated. Netanyahu said on Tuesday that the new settlements are in "areas that in any future arrangement will remain in Israel's hands."But Palestinian officials slammed the decision saying it would only "speed up the destruction of the peace process." Mahmoud Abbas' office also declared new Israeli settlements were projected in areas Palestine considers to be part of its future state."Netanyahu's decision is provocative," remarked Derfner. "But it is the way this government operates, as it is totally pro-settlement. It is not really interested in negotiating with Palestinians or ready to discuss concessions for a two-state solution."

Taken from "My Farming Life"
Norman talks about the veterinary practice he ran in Atherstone, and his observations and experiences of farming over the last 60 years. We hear about the day-to-day work of a rural vet's practice and anecdotes from North Warwickshire.
We hear from Mac about his family roots in Staffordshire and how he and Rosemary moved to the Dugdale estate for a larger farm. We hear about the development of the dairy farm and how Rosemary and the children played a role. Rosemary tells us about the farm house, and we hear about their achievements.
As two of the youngest contributors to the project, Andrew and Yvonne recall farming from the 1970s onwards. They compare memories of the mixed farming of their childhood days and the changes they witnessed as agriculture became more specialised and farm sizes grew.


Organized Jewry believes non-Jews are squatters in a world made exclusively for Jews.
They have empowered a leadership class of goy traitors (Freemasons) by promising them a seat at the table.
I approached the above short film,"What It's Like to Grow Up in an Israeli Settlement" with some apprehension because I oppose the theft of more Palestinian property and regard the settlers as fanatics. I have mixed feelings about Israelis in general. I identify with my fellow Jews but fear they've been duped and used for no good.
Nevertheless, history can't be undone. Like many Israelis, I support the two-state solution. I would like to see both peoples thrive.
Of course, Israel is going in the opposite direction, encroaching further on Palestine, the US, and the world every day. Israel was set up by the Rothschilds. Zionism (and Communism) are two pincers in the Rothschild's plan to dispossess and enslave the goyim.
Never forget the words of banker Louis Marshall who described Zionism as merely part of "a far-reaching plan" i.e. gifting humanity to Satan. It's possible that Israel and Jews, in general, could be sacrificed to this greater cause.
People who object to being shunted aside are called "white supremacists," "haters" and "racists." E. Michael Jones was recently removed from Wikipedia. I became a non-person there years ago. People are being erased from YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. A lot of important information is still allowed on those platforms but this trend is likely to continue as the ugly truth spreads. They are burning our olive groves.
Most individual Jews are hard working, honest people but the secret zeitgeist of Organized Jewryis to exploit the goyim. This is the central banking cartel writ large. They provide the medium exchange (currency, credit = coupons) in the form of an interest-paying debt to themselves and thus drain the world of necessary capital.
Thus, the growing income inequality. Most of the world lives hand-to-mouth or starves.The world's richest 1 percent, those with more than $1 million, own 45 percent of the world's wealth. Adults with less than $10,000 in wealth make up 64 percent of the world's population but hold less than 2 percent of global wealth.
Essentially humanity is divided into two groups. One – the people who benefit from the current banking system and adopt the occult indoctrination and social decadence that comes with it, and Two – the people who don't.
Eventually, outspoken members of the latter group will be deprived of access to their "money" just as now they're deprived of access to Wikipedia and Twitter. Just like undesirables are denied "social credit" in China.
I appeal to the Rothschilds and their Masonic Jewish supporters to reverse course. You have more money than you will ever need. The only thing you don't have is Love. Become our enlightened benefactor, instead of our sadistic jailer.

In 2014 signs for the new North Norfolk Coastal Path were erected. This path covers a 63 mile (41km) stretch of coast between Hunstanton and Sea Palling and is the first section of the England Coast Path to be opened. The wooden signs have also incorporated places of interest and other routes e.g. churches, the Paston Way and the Overstrand Circular Walk. Of particular interest to us is the Overstrand Circular Walk which is signed from the Pauls Lane car park and, of course, finishes there too. Apart from the sign in Southrepps, none of the other wooden signs on the route refer to the Overstrand Circular Walk. We could have missed them but they are quite large so I tend to think not. However, there are circular yellow and green plates on posts etc. denoting the route but a number of these are faded and others are not immediately visible to the eye. Hopefully Norfolk County Council will at some time either renew these or replace them with a simple easy to follow bold coloured shape.
After watching a video posted on Youtube which, although made with the best intentions, incorporated a number of inaccuracies, we decided to produce a pictorial guide with map grid references that I could post here on Overstrand Life. (to access each of the sections of this walk, see links at the bottom of this page) For the most part this covers junctions and crossovers of paths, tracks and roads which we hope will help walkers and supplement the map. I have no objections to the following pages being printed, so long as my copyright is observed.
We completed the walk in two sections, the first in September 2014 when it proved too warm for our dog Barney so we aborted and we did not complete the final section until March 2015. Therefore, the photographs reflect the changes in seasons i.e. trees in full leaf during the first section to bare branches in the final part.
The walk is a delightful circuit taking walkers along paths and tracks with a minimal amount of roads. A downloadable map showing the route is available on Norfolk County Council's website It may be helpful to also have an Ordnance Survey map. These can be purchased from the Village Stores in Overstrand and both the Landranger North East Norfolk Ref: 133 map or Explorer Norfolk Coast East Ref: 252 provide coverage of this area.
The walk can be shortened at certain points, which can be useful if it starts to rain etc. Providing you carry a map these points will be obvious and for this reason I have not mentioned them here.
This walk is 8½ miles in length with relatively easy smooth terrain. However, there may be areas of mud and on the tracks, ruts impressed by farm vehicles.
There are places for refreshments which I have listed below but it is always advisable, especially in warmer months, to carry at the very least a good supply of water.
A charged mobile phone is a must, in case of emergencies. It is worth noting that mobile phone reception can be variable here in rural Norfolk with some services not accessible.
And don't forget, this is England and a day that starts with brilliant sunshine can deteriorate over a few hours to torrential rain so, always carry a waterproof.
I have listed below places that are suitable for walkers. All the pubs and the café are dog friendly and there is plenty of outside seating at the Aerodrome.
There is only one Public Convenience and this is situated on the Pauls Lane car park in Overstrand (the start and finish of the walk).

Google is the only other internet company with a similarly mature platform. Twitter and others aspire to join them but aren't there yet, and working with emergent platforms carries the risk that the platform won't thrive, and/or the platform company will choose to bolster profits by eating it's own ecosystem (remember Twitter doing that to all the Twitter client companies?). The irony for entrepreneurs, of course, is that all the hot companies on new platforms dive in early and expose themselves to the platform risks just mentioned. Evaluating the platform risk for these sorts of companies should be a key part of due diligence for investors.
As a side note, the anonymous log in announcement might just turn out to be very significant. If Facebook implement it in the right way, and with total integrity, then they are in a good position to become the universal login service for huge parts of the internet.
