The Two Companies Will Apply BPU International's Artificial Emotional Intelligence (AEI) technologies to treat Delirium and Dementia Patients
BPU Holdings' entity in the US, BPU International, has partnered with SEVA Technology to collaborate on research and implementation of AEI Framework, an Artificial Emotional Intelligent (AEI) platform.
The project will focus on creating an Artificial Intelligent (AI) mobile application to aid hospital patients with the detection and potential treatment of Delirium and Dementia. Both companies are collaborating to effectively apply AEI Framework technology within hospitals; starting in Arizona.
The project includes building an AEI-based chatbot, framework and interactive applications using human conversational scripts, developed by BPU. The application will be designed to track patient's moods as well as interact and engage with patients on emotional levels, which are intrinsically tied to their physical status. AEI Framework will be able to track and learn their routine patterns and set reminders for medication and assess both psychological and physical symptoms outside the doctor's office.
Using IoT devices, the technology has the ability to detect unwanted falls and high distress levels that will immediately alert hospitals and the patient's doctor. Medical experts expect the application to be particularly beneficial for long-term care and for seniors who show early signs of delirium and dementia.
The prototype will be single-user based, while eventually expanding to a multi-user system. Patient privacy will be HIPAA compliant as all patient records and data will be made private and accessible only to the patient and medical personnel. Records will be cloud-based and encrypted, accessible only by authorization. The application will be built as a commercially viable prototype to be deployed to hospitals as part of the research. Clinical trials are in motion and the project is expected to be ready within two to three years.

The culture within financial services organisations is being examined - and challenged - to an unprecedented degree, by regulators, investors, politicians and the media.
Any perception of cultural problems in a financial institution is likely to have severe consequences for the business, and senior management in particular, as recent events have shown.
If you are responsible for establishing or influencing culture in your organisation, this focused and practical half day workshop will help you address three critical questions:
This workshop will be of value to Board Directors, Senior Managers and those responsible for Governance, Risk, Compliance, Audit, HR and Internal Communications.
The topics covered may include but are not limited to:

I know that you have used export-csv one too many times and each time it's a pain in the ass. For example, you make a huge dump of data to a csv and two weeks later you import the file to restore your dump. This simple task step may take unnecessarily long time.
Or have you ever saved your credentials in your script? Most people I've met do something like this:
#save (Get-Credential).Password | ConvertFrom-SecureString | out-file .cred.txt #Load $ss=(Get-Content .cred.txt | ConvertTo-SecureString) $mycreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("username", $ss)
It's "safe" because a secure string is encrypted by the user security context.
Computer1 – User A
Computer1 – User B
It's an ok way to save a password. I don't say it's the right way to do it. But anyhow, for each thing you want to save the script gets more and more complex.
Let's say you want to save a multidimensional table, which you don't know the size of, it's also unstructured, contains objects and perhaps has secure strings. Using out-file / export-csv is only going to give you less time to live and less time to do the things you love.
The answer to all your problems is, Export-Clixml.
#Save (Get-Credential) | Export-Clixml -Path .c.xml #Load $cred=Import-Clixml -Path .c.xml #Test $cred.UserName $cred.GetNetworkCredential().Password $cred.Password
Here is an example how to save a MSOL result to a CLIXML and load it, as it never even left the console.
#Get $allusers=Get-MsolUser –all #Save $allusers | Export-Clixml -Path .var.xml -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue #Load $allusersLoaded=Import-Clixml -Path .var.xml #Use $allusersLoaded.Where({$psitem.IsLicensed -eq $true}).count
Warning don't run this on an on-premise server. The file size can be greater than 100mb depending on the size of your tenant, it may result in filling your hard drive. J

RE: "Must HRW only serve interests of their financiers?" (The New Times, July 15).
The road to hell, as we know, is paved with the best intentions. These organisations originally started with such goals of making the world a better place. HRW, initially known as Helsinki Watch, was established to promote better rights observation for people on the other side of the then Iron Curtain, especially in the Communist Soviet Union.
Even then, it had an aspect of a geopolitical tool in the hands of the Western alliance against their Eastern rivals.
Amnesty International's original overarching aim was equally simple: to propagate for the release of people any truly moral person, no matter their ideological bent, could easily see was a prisoner of conscience rather than a criminal. Such prisoners included Nelson Mandela or other anti-Apartheid activists; Saro Wiwa in Nigeria, etc.
As time went, and these organisations' work acquired more supporters for their focused good work, they started wanting to acquire greater political influence — no doubt in the belief that that would make their advocacy for those in need of their support more effective.
But the siren song of pursuit of political influence is also a slippery slope. Many of those who pursue political power — i.e. political actors — very soon get consumed by it, and soon lose touch with their original mission, becoming just like those they want to influence.
It has now come to a point where HRW and Amnesty International have lost focus so much they are no longer recognisable as their former versions. They have become thoroughly corrupted by their pursuit of power.
They are now no more than geopolitical power players, arrogantly throwing their geopolitical power around to try to bully those states they see as geopolitically weaker than themselves.
The road to hell is truly paved with the best intentions. Look at the acquired earthly glory and majesty of Christianity, established in the name of he who was born in a manger. That is how the pursuit of power — even for the best of intentions — ends up corrupting, no matter how we remain convinced that our intentions are pure.
Power and corruption (for almost all of us) are usually as inseparable as dogs and fleas. It is a rare person who doesn't allow accumulated power to go to their heads, and Kenneth Roth and his minions as well as their counterparts and many similar professional pressure organizations with deep pockets, webs of influence in western governments and the Western media, are not such rare persons.

"Olympic athletes Denise Lewis and Darren Campbell today joined hundreds of pupils and parents protesting outside parliament over the coalition decision to cut funding for school sports.
Young people delivered a petition to Downing Street with more than half a million signatures after gathering at Westminster with placards urging ministers to "Say no to school sports cuts".
David Cameron last week promised to look again at the decision by the education secretary, Michael Gove, to cut £162m in funding to school sports partnerships (SSPs) from next March. The money is used to run PE classes in schools where there are no trained staff, organise sports clubs and hold competitions."
Our View:
As I have mentioned in previous posts, I believe that the decision to cut funding for sports in school is short-sighted particularly with Great Britain hosting the 2012 Olympics. So far the ConDems have appeared to re-consider their stance on some key issues – hopefully this will be one where common sense prevails and the funding is found to continue this good work.

September 2015 Book of the Month.
There is a confusing, almost rambling feel to this thriller that really keeps you on your toes. We are introduced to our charismatic hero Solomon Creed as he runs barefoot and skimpily dressed from an air crash in Arizona. With memory loss but a burning knowledge that he must somehow save this small town, he stumbles upon a drug-related plot, a host of 'baddies' and a family mystery. It ends with a strange twist, that is improbable and intriguing and I am sure it will be developed in future volumes, for this starts a series. It is hugely enjoyable. ~ Sarah Broadhurst
HIS PAST IS UNKNOWN. HIS FUTURE UNWRITTEN. WHO IS SOLOMON CREED? The first in an electrifying new thriller series from Sunday Times bestselling author, Simon Toyne. Perfect for fans of Lee Child, and I AM PILGRIM, by Terry Hayes. A plane crashes in the Arizona desert. One lone figure emerges alive from the wreckage. He has no memory of his past, and no idea of his future. He only knows he must save a man. But how do you save someone who is already dead?

anca hariton: the living hora
What a beautiful gathering for Anca Hariton's opening reception for METAMORPHORA! Our spring artist poetically and tenderly gathered us into the fold of hora, the circle, reminding us that the blood lines of our ancestors are imprinted within us. We all stood in wonder—and perhaps even a bit in love—at the unveiling of this sensitive series on the Judeo-Christian story of Creation.
One of the patrons even remarked in great wonder: "Anca's paintings remind me of Hilma af Klint!", an early anthroposophist whose work is now showing at the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum in New York City. While Hilma's works needed to wait 80 years for the appropriate temple to showcase them, Anca's paintings have found their temporary home here in Portland. We at The Art Hall are blessed to have them on view for two months!
Anca shared that as a Waldorf teacher of Grade Three she felt she had not done justice to her subject. So inspired, she created this series while traveling and living abroad with her husband. Having fled communist Romania, Anca reveled in the heart-opening opportunity to study Rudolf Steiner openly and to manifest herself as a teacher and artist in this 100-year-old tradition.
One can clearly see the sturdiness of the architectural training Anca brought with her from Romania in the details of her work and similarly appreciate how an anthroposophical lens has deepened her study of color. With plans to publish a book of these images accompanied by her poetry in mind, we were treated to Anca's reciting of the poem with a line corresponding to each of the paintings.
Anyone with interest can visit The Art Hall Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. when Cedarwood is in session. If you'd like to schedule a visit outside of school hours, please contact Robin at 503-222-1192 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Some original works are still available for purchase. Anca has also prepared some beautiful high quality 8X10" prints and 5X7" postcards. For those, please contact her directly at email@example.com.

In the phase IIIb/IV CheckMate 511 study reported by Lebbé et al in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, a regimen of nivolumab at 3 mg/kg plus ipilimumab at 1 mg/kg (NIVO3+IPI1) was found to significantly reduce the incidence of treatment-related grade 3 to 5 adverse events compared with nivolumab at 1 mg/kg plus ipilimumab at 3 mg/kg (NIVO1+IPI3) in patients with advanced melanoma. The NIVO1+IPI3 regimen is approved for the first-line treatment of advanced melanoma in several countries, including the United States.
Study Details
In the trial, 360 patients with previously untreated unresectable stage III or IV melanoma were randomly assigned between April 2016 and March 2017 to receive NIVO3+IPI1 (n =180) or NIVO1+IPI3 (n = 180) every 3 weeks for 4 doses. After 6 weeks, all patients received nivolumab at 480 mg once every 4 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The primary endpoint was the incidence of treatment-related grade 3 to 5 adverse events. Secondary endpoints included descriptive analyses of objective response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival. The study was not designed to formally demonstrate noninferiority of NIVO3+IPI1 vs NIVO1+IPI3 for efficacy endpoints.
Results in the current analysis are from a database lock in June 2018, with minimum patient follow-up of 12 months. Median follow-up was 18.8 months in the NIVO3+IPI1 group and 18.6 months in the NIVO1+IPI3 group.
Treatment-Related Grade 3 to 5 Adverse Events
At a minimum follow-up of 12 months, the incidence of treatment-related grade 3 to 5 adverse events was 33.9% in the NIVO3+IPI1 group vs 48.3% in the NIVO1+IPI3 group (P = .006). One treatment-related grade 5 adverse event occurred in the NIVO3+IPI1 group. Serious adverse events of any grade and any cause occurred in 47.8% vs 63.5% of patients, and were of grade 3 or 4 in 33.9% vs 47.8% and grade 5 in 3.3% vs 1.7%. Treatment-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events led to treatment discontinuation in 16.7% vs 27.5%. The lower incidence of treatment-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events in the NIVO3+IPI1 group primarily reflected lower rates of hepatic (7.2% vs 16.3%), gastrointestinal (6.1% vs 10.7%), and endocrine (2.8% vs 7.3%) adverse events.
In descriptive analyses, objective response rates were 45.6% in the NIVO3+IPI1 group and 50.6% in the NIVO1+IPI3 group, with a complete response in 15.0% and 13.5%. Median progression-free survival was 9.9 months vs 8.9 months. Median overall survival was not reached in either group.
The investigators concluded, "The CheckMate 511 study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a significantly lower incidence of treatment-related grade 3–5 adverse events with NIVO3+IPI1 vs NIVO1+IPI3. Descriptive analyses showed that there were no meaningful differences between the groups for any efficacy endpoint, although longer follow-up may help to better characterize efficacy outcomes."

Vol.7 No.3 2014
−204−Synthesiology Vol.7 No.3(2014)Synthesiology MessageMESSAGES FROM THE EDITORIAL BOARDThere has been a wide gap between science and society. The last three hundred years of the history of modern science indicates to us that many research results disappeared or took a long time to become useful to society. Due to the difficulties of bridging this gap, this stage has been recently called the valley of death or the nightmare stage (Note 1). Rather than passively waiting, therefore, researchers and engineers who understand the potential of the research should actively try to bridge the gap.To bridge the gap, technology integration (i.e. Type 2 Basic Research − Note 2) of scientific findings for utilizing them in society, in addition to analytical research, has been one of the wheels of progress (i.e. Full Research − Note 3). Traditional journals, have been collecting much analytical type knowledge that is factual knowledge and establishing many scientific disciplines (i.e. Type 1 Basic Research − Note 4). Technology integration research activities, on the other hand, have been kept as personal know-how. They have not been formalized as universal knowledge of what ought to be done. As there must be common theories, principles, and practices in the methodologies of tech-nology integration, we regard it as basic research. This is the reason why we have decided to publish "Synthesiology", a new academic journal. Synthesiology is a coined word com-bining "synthesis" and "ology". Synthesis which has its origin in Greek means integra-tion. Ology is a suffix attached to scientific disciplines.Each paper in this journal will present scenarios selected for their societal value, identify elemental knowledge and/or technologies to be integrated, and describe the procedures and processes to achieve this goal. Through the publishing of papers in this journal, re-searchers and engineers can enhance the transformation of scientific outputs into the soci-etal prosperity and make technical contributions to sustainable development. Efforts such as this will serve to increase the significance of research activities to society.We look forward to your active contributions of papers on technology integration to the journal."Synthesiology" Editorial Board(written in January, 2008)


text: Hi, I attempted to optimise the gxine package, which uses JS library, for xulrunner, as I though it might be better to use xulrunner's mozjs, rather than libjs as xulrunner is already needed for it's mozplugin, so I have locally built a copy with xulrunner's mozjs used and I got this error when I try to run the application: gxine: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. So I reverted back to libjs until it is fixed. I also tried latest hg snapshot, which dropped support for libjs altogether, with the same result. One thing that fixes the issue is making a symlink in /usr/lib to /usr/lib/xurunner-$version$/mozjs.so What could be wrong? I also noticed that there are problems with mozjs header files where the xulrunner-js.pc file directs to 'stable' subdir of xulrunner includes, while the mozjs is in 'js' subdir. I have xulrunner-devel-1.9-0.alpha9.2.fc9 installed in my otherwise F8 box. Thanks, Martin

Rodney Dean "Rod" Squier left the bonds of this earthly home on Friday April 5, 2019, the day he came into the presence of the Lord. Rod was born on August 11, 1954 in Newport Beach, CA to Roger and Betty (Whitehead) Squier.
As a boy, Rod worked summers at the Browning Company in the sila-flex division where his parents were employed. He loved the California life; swimming, surfing, fishing for squid with his uncle on his boat, and Grandma Squier's homemade treats after school. Most of all he loved riding his dirt bike in the desert. Rod attended Costa Mesa High School. He threw the shot put and he always said he played water polo – "until his horse drowned".
As a young man Rod worked at the Cla-Val Company. In the early 80's he moved to Missouri with his wife and young family. There he learned the art of installing floor covering. Rod worked for several businesses including Cherokee Carpet in Olathe, KS and Rigdon Floor Covering of Kansas City, KS. On July 2, 1994 he married his soulmate, Susan Blackwell at the First Christian Church of Olathe, KS. With that marriage he gained two more children. In 1995, Rod was offered a job with El Dorado Floor Covering and moved his family to Cedar County, MO. He loved the country life. Rod enjoyed scouting with the boys, hunting and fishing. He loved people. The job he loved most and was most proud of was when he became and EMT. Shortly thereafter Rod was offered a job with Vernon County Ambulance, and moved again to Nevada, MO.
Rod loved to meet people, and he really loved to talk, and he loved to make people laugh. He loved the KC Royals, KC Chiefs and Nascar. He loved to ride his motorcycle all over Missouri and Kansas, but most of all Rod loved his family, especially the grandchildren.
Rod is survived by his wife, Susan, of the home in Ft. Scott, KS, six children, Josh Squier and Jenn of Bennett, CO, Shila Squier of Belton, MO, Jeremiah Squier and Julia and Erica Wilson and Ryan of Elgin, OK, James Squier and Michelle of Kansas City, KS and Sarah Wilson of Pittsburg, KS, thirteen grandchildren, Elijah, Jeneva, Aria, Xander, Caden, Napolean, Emily, Makenzi, Adrian, Millie, Jack, Evelyn, and Tucker, one brother, Mike Squier, Costa Mesa, CA and his mother-in-law, Larue Shriver, Olathe, KS. Rod was preceded in death by his parents, infant grandsons, Dreygan and Riley Taffner, and his old buddy, Smokey, his chocolate lab.
Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday April 9, 2019 at Ferry Funeral Home in Nevada. Following the service, cremation will take place and a private committal service will follow at a later date in the Hamby Cemetery in Cedar County.
Memorials are suggested in his memory to the family in c/o Ferry Funeral Home.

I was sitting snugly between my mother and Seejo while we were on our "night safari drive". It was pitch dark outside and I was lazily following the beam from the huge spotlight that Peter, our tracker, was flashing from side to side. There was a slightly chilly breeze but I was wrapped up well with the warm blankets that the folks at Pom Pom camp had provided. The evening's safari, thus far, had been rather disappointing.
The Okavango Delta covers about 16,000 sq km and in that area there are only about 20-25 camps with each one accommodating about 20 odd guests. Each camp, therefore, has its own private concession area where they can take their guests for a safari tour withoutbumping into guests from other camps. For the tourists, it translates into a very personal safari experience where you do not have other vehicles waiting bumper to bumper to observe the same group of animals. But it also means that animals have a large area to move about freely. In most cases, the sheer population of animals ensures that you will see many of them eventually but that evening they were proving to be particularly elusive. Our guide, Shaku, had driven quite far away from the camp that day so we had longer night drive than usual. It was our last evening/night safari and I had hoped to see some of the wild creatures that we hadn't seen so far but other than the ever present impalas , some kudus (large antelopes with a camel like hump and white stripes) and a horde of monkeys, we hadn't come across anything else.
The night safari is a chance to see some of the nocturnal action that the delta offers. After sunset, the jungle turns into a very "happening"place. Most of the predators (especially the big cats) are active at night, the scavengers like the hyenas and jackals are creeping around trying to see if they can steal any leftovers from the bigger predators, reptiles come out after sunset when the weather gets cooler and smaller nocturnal creatures such as mongoose and rabbits pop out to feed. As I said, the activities really kick up a notch at night time. Experienced guides can spot these animals because their eyes reflect and glow by the light of the flashlight that the tracker aims into the night. However, spotting creatures even during the day, when you can clearly see, is quite a challenge by itself, at night it is exponentially difficult. I had developed a completely new appreciation for the natural camouflage that most animals seem to have , not to mention their ability to hide from their predators. Although we had spotted some of the smaller animals and a few birds (owls) during our previous night drives, bigger game was more elusive and based on our last two night drives, I had no real hope of seeing anything.
But then without any warning, Shaku slammed the brakes and brought the Land Rover to a sudden halt. I was on the verge of dozing off earlier but I was now instantly alert. By the headlight of the Land Rover and Peter's flashlight, I saw what had caused it: there was a leopard right in front of our vehicle facing us. As we watched, the leopard crouched low and started moving silently towards us. All of us immediately became very still as the leopard quietly but very deliberately approached us and then at the last moment veered away and moved towards the right side of the vehicle. Shaku spoke softly " Don't move, He is near the right side of the vehicle", and then without any warning switched off all the lights.
And that was when I started getting a little worried. There was a wild carnivore, with a known propensity and ability to climb trees coming towards us. We were in a Land Rover, open on the top and at the sides (the side panels of the Land Rover were only waist high), it was pitch dark: so dark that I could hardly see my own hands. And for some reason, our guide switched off all the lights leaving us very vulnerable and rather confused.
Shaku murmured an explanation "Did you see it was crouching, it is on a hunt". I am sure he was justifying the reason for switching off the lights but I confess that didn't make me feel any better. But leopards are far more intelligent creatures than we give them credit for. It was really not interested in us as prey but it was not above using the vehicle as a cover. The leopard slowly crept towards the back of the vehicle and then ducked under it, behind the rear tires, to cross over to the other side of the path. Although we could not see them with our poor night-vision skills, there were some impalas grazing on the other side and the clever leopard had managed to use our vehicle to get close to them without disclosing its location.
Our guides were experienced enough, so they quickly understood the situation. As soon as Shaku realized ( not sure exactly how he did it),that the leopard had crossed over, he quickly bought the Land Rover to life and swung towards the right and parked the car on the other side of the impalas. Again, we switched off the lights and waited in the dark for the leopard to make its move. We had seen a leopard (probably the same one) wait for its prey that every morning. It lay amidst the tall grass very peacefully and was so well camouflaged that Shaku almost drove into it. We were just a about a feet away from it with our Land Rover when one of the guests spotted it and yelled at Shaku to stop. Although it was in danger of being run over, the leopard didn't move muscle or budge from its hide out. Infact, the group of antelopes drinking water a few metres away were completely oblivious to the danger that lurked in the grass near them.
Given the leopard's patience while hunting and its tendency to move very quietly, we had no idea how long it would take. Waiting in the dark in the middle of a jungle was rather unnerving. But the leopard didn't make us wait too long. As soon as it leapt from its hiding place, the impalas gave a cry of distress and started fleeing. The moment we heard the cry, Shaku switched on all the lights, Peter was ready with the spotlight and we were just in time to see the leopard catch an adult male impala. The rest of the herd was running helter-skelter but the leopard had a strong hold over the impala'sneck and was slowly but surely choking it to death. Every few minutes, the leopard would release its grasp slightly, almost as though to check if the prey were still alive. The impala would then writhe, trying to get away but the leopard was of course too strong. We were all slightly dazed at the sight in front of us, not sure whether to be exhilarated at the sight of the leopard's skill or whether to feel sorry for the poor impala. There was no other sound except the constant rat-a-tat as Seejo's camera kept clicking away.
Within about 10 minutes, it was all over. The leopard then dragged the impala away into the
bushes. But all of us were very keyed up at seeing this extremely rare sight. We couldn't stop marveling at how the leopard had leapt, how the impalas had scattered, the death choke of the leopard and how oblivious it was to our presence at the hunt. Shaku had already radioed our position to the other safari guide at Pom Pom and the other guests had arrived in time to see the leopard slink away into the bushes.
Our good fortune was commented on by everyone. Leopard sightings are uncommon but we had not only managed to see a leopard every time we went on the safari but now we topped it all by actually seeing a leopard hunt. Peter mentioned that this was his first leopard hunt,
although he had been working at Pom Pom for over 4 years. Another guide asked us to leave our luck behind for them when we left. It was undoubtedly a stroke of good fortune to comeacross the leopard but it was also the experience of Shaku who very cleverly recognized that the leopard was hunting, understood the location of the impala and then positioned the vehicle in such a way that we were right in the middle of the action.
The next day morning, before we left Pom Pom , we stopped by at the scene of the crime to see if the leopard was still in the area. There was no evidence of the previous day's hunt , not even a drop of blood. Shaku had to drive around a bit to spot the leopard but we finally saw it, lying quietly. At first glance, the impala was nowhere to be seen. We wondered whether he had lost his meal to the hyenas but then we saw that the leopard had cleverly hidden in below a nearby bush and then piled on some branches on it. Periodically, it would rise, rocking back on its back legs and almost stand up to check its surroundings but most of the times it lay there peacefully storing its food to eat when hunger pangs strike again. Shaku told us that the impala would provide one adult leopard enough food for at least 3-4 days. It was just a treat to see animals in action in their own surroundings and how they used it to its advantage in both capturing and storing its food.

Longtime men's basketball coach Harry Statham and McKendree University appear to have not parted on amicable terms.
McKendree issued a press release Tuesday stating Statham is concluding his service as coach after 52 seasons effective in May. Statham is the all-time wins leader in college basketball at the four-year level. He has 1,122 coaching wins. He passed late Tennessee women's coach Pat Summitt for the record in 2016 with his 1,099th win.
"I did not resign as the head coach at McKendree University. I was told that they were going to go in a different direction with the men's basketball program," Statham told the Belleville News-Democrat on Tuesday.
Statham took to Facebook Saturday and posted a copy of an email he sent to McKendee's athletic director and president. He also wrote, "To all my great former players, fans and friends - I want to make something crystal clear. The McKendree press release infers that I chose to resign/retire. I did not choose to resign/retire."

To be able to simulate the different processes involved in paper machines, models, numerical methods and algorithms have to be developed which capture as much as possible of the real physical phenomena. In this paper a model for calculation of the chemical and physical interaction between objects included in a fiber suspension is presented. The contact force model is based on DLVO theory [1, 2] and uses so-called contact points distributed along the fiber suspension objects. The contact model has been used in an existing framework to simulate the build-up of low density paper webs. In the framework fibers are modeled as elliptical cylinders whose movements are described by finite-strain beam theory which includes shearing. The fluid flow is computed using a Navier-Stokes solver and immersed boundary methods are utilized to resolve the flow around each fiber. For validation, the air permeability and thickness of the paper webs have been measured and compared with simulated data. The result demonstrates that the software can be used to simulate paper forming.

Why Not Work With a Local Hertfordshire Office Refurbishment Company?
Here at SEC Interiors we've recently been reflecting on our participation in the local Hertfordshire community. As a company we pride ourselves on fact that we get involved in a variety of charity initiatives throughout the year!
Some of the causes we've supported over the years include:
- Welwyn Pegsaus Football Club
- Letchworth Garden City Eagles
We're big football fans but we also believe in nurturing the future generation!
Other charities close to our hearts that we have previously raised money for are Help for Heroes and Great Ormond Street Hospital children's charity. We also host events such as our annual golf days to raise funds and more recently we're supporting Run for Tomorrow. Members of our team have taken part in the fundraising races with the aim to promote health and fitness.
Recovering economy and local Herts based businesses
But what else can we do? That's the thought that crossed our minds! What other initiatives could we undertake to help the local community we live and work in? It's no secret that small and medium sized Hertfordshire businesses have been significantly impacted by the financial crisis. As we start to see signs of recovery, we local businesses need all the help we can get to revitalize our businesses and the Herts economy.
Light-bulb moment! We should be dedicating more time and effort into providing our services to businesses in and around Stevenage and Hertfordshire. SEC Interiors is very enthusiastic about building attractive and productive places to work which in turn builds:
- Mutually rewarding relationships
- Prosperous communities
We would be happy to hear from you if you believe our businesses can collaborate on initiatives which would benefit the community. Strong business networks may also encourage new businesses to set up and settle permanently!
Buy Local! What are the benefits of using a local office refurbishment company?
Employing a local company would:
- Keep money flowing in the community and in turn stimulate the local economy.
- Give the added benefit of a bespoke service - a local company can spend considerable time developing a deep understanding of your business in order to provide an appropriate solution.
- Create more jobs locally.
- Be convenient - meetings are easy to arrange and we can be with you when you need us, without a great deal of notice.
Let's not forget the Herts environment!
Employing a business in Hertfordshire ensures that less time is spent travelling and in turn less pollution.
From personal experiences we have found it very rewarding to conduct business locally and our customers found it very convenient using a local business. The main benefits pinpointed included the advantage of having contract and project managers on site regularly so the client can receive regular updates and the team can attend project meetings on request!
Will cheaper be better in the long run?
Some may argue that sourcing goods and services locally can be more expensive, and therefore less economic. But buying cheaper can sometimes result in inferior quality. It may be prudent to procure goods and services from a reliable, accessible contractor that can provide you with high quality products and services! How good would it be if you could get this from a local contractor too?
Accessibility & Flexibility
Hertfordshire office refurbishment businesses can provide a unique, personal service and are reputably more flexible. They may provide services such as working out of hours in order to minimize disruptions to your daily operations. This standard of customer service may improve significantly as staff would be more accessible to provide technical support and assistance throughout the project.
It's clear that considerable benefits can be gained by employing local Hertfordshire based businesses and building mutually rewarding relationships in our local communities. SEC Interiors hopes to play a role in helping to stimulate the local economy. We strongly believe that collaboration is a key ingredient for economic growth!

Friday evening we, as the young people of the church, sat around the monument in the center of Pilis, singing songs of praise. We sang our hearts out in the most outward way possible, but you would have thought that we were just gathered around a fire in a backyard from how we swayed to the music and the guitar never missed a beat. Grocery shoppers were given a new view when leaving the store. Our voices reached in the windows of the cars passing by. Friends from school came over to see what we were doing. The cajon was beating with our hearts and the guitar was strumming along with the melody of our praise.
Saturday afternoon was busy with the end-of-the-school-year showcase. I stood next to the students I've accompanied for the last nine months, and we sang "A Million Dreams" from The Greatest Showman (surprisingly, not by my choice) with pride for the principal who will be moving after the school year ends. The acts surrounding our performance blew me away. Some little kids from church each memorized long poems that they seemed to deliver with ease and professionalism. Some of my shyest students showed their powerhouse dance moves. Full classes sang songs together that made me my smile from ear to ear. After the tears were shed after the farewell speech from the principal and the dedication to her from the teachers, Panna, some of her friends, and I waited for Második Mama outside. I sat on the steps in front of the beautiful, new community center and just observed what was in front of me. The girls were chasing each other through the tall grass, their giggles could have warmed the coldest heart. The sun was out, creating the perfect weather for jeans and no jacket. The "summer snow" (what seems like cotton that falls from the trees at the beginning of every summer here) drifted through the air so perfectly; it felt like we were in a movie. The sky was a beautiful blue. The clouds looked like they were part of a painting, not seeming to move an inch. It was a beautiful time to just… be.
Sunday night, I got to join Sámuel in Budapest for a worship service he plays guitar for. It was held in the Lutheran Church of Hungary's office building, the congregation being made up of mostly pastors and their families. Let me say though, this was the most "happy, homey, churchy" experience I've had so far in Hungary. I could see the joy of the people as they sang the songs (that I knew from youth club!), reminding me of some folks back home. We celebrated communion AND passed the peace- my two favorite parts of worship that I don't experience too often in Pilis. The service was held in a smaller room than the huge sanctuary in the Pilis church, making everyone sit closer to each other- which I adored. We even had a "coffee hour" time after the service. I left feeling more refreshed than I have after a service in a long time.

|Type: Attack Skill
|Range: Target Character
|Cost: None
|Lag: 2 Rounds
|Duration: Instantaneous
Syntax: slice <target>
Slice may be used by a thief in order to hamstring a foe. It does have a save, based upon the target's strength, dexterity, and ability to dodge. Slice will deal damage and a dexterity penalty to the target; successive slices will increase the dexterity damage. While affected by this skill, the victim will take damage every time he moves and be lagged for up to two rounds.
Much like many assassin skills such as blinding dust, using this skill will open the thief to attack; it may be blocked as any other normal attack. A dagger is required to slice.

Title: Red Rising
Author: Pierce Brown
Genre: Adult, Sci/Fi & Dystopian
Date Published: January 28, 2014 by Random House
Series: Book #1 in the Red Rising trilogy
Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble
Synopsis: Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations.
Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children.
But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity already reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and sprawling parks spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.
Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity's overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society's ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies… even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.
**(Non-Spoiler) Review: Golden Son by Pierce Brown | (Non Spoiler) Review: Morning Star by Pierce Brown**
"The measure of a man is what he does when he has power."
The first few chapters had me second guessing this but at about 100 pages in, I was sold. This was really dark and gritty and a lot of fun for me. Once the story picked up and the action kicked in it was intense and it didn't stop.
I liked the writing style quite a bit, I think the world building was kind of iffy in the beginning but definitely got better by the end. The pacing was good and the story itself is really intriguing. I loved the dystopian and government aspects and all of the backstabbing and alliances that went on.
I also really liked the main character, Darrow. He was such a complex and interesting character. I didn't care for him too much in the beginning but he really does go through some amazing development throughout the entire book and by the end, he seems like a whole new person. I loved that he wasn't afraid to be vulnerable and that he was a leader by being more than just brawn, he had the mindset of a leader and some really fascinating tactics.
"You do not follow me because I am the strongest. Pax is. You do not follow me because I am the brightest. Mustang is. You follow me because you do not know where you are going. I do."
He did somethings that made him more morally gray in my opinion but that only added to the depth of his character for me. He's just fascinating and I loved being inside his head.
Overall, there was so much that this book got right and I really enjoyed it. Also, the ending was pretty damn crazy.
My Rating:

It was Australia Day (aka 'Invasion Day') last Thursday and I felt inclined to make something Aussie to celebrate. I settled on pavlova due to a surplus of eggs from my mum's chooks. This was actually my first time making pavlova so I was wary; but it turned out better than I expected, albeit a tad smashed looking. The crust was very crispy and melt-in-your-mouth whilst the inside remained soft and marshmallowy. It came out of the oven looking quite spectacular but as it cooled the crust broke into shards. Once it was topped with cream and fruit it didn't seem to matter though. I also added banana and passionfruit just before serving. I'm glad I have this iconic dessert in my repertoire now because it was really yummy and a good way to use up eggs.
Pavlova Base
- 8 egg whites (60g eggs)
- 2 cups caster or white sugar (cannot be reduced)
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar or pinch of salt (optional)
- 2 tsp vinegar
- 3 Tbsp cornflour
- 2 tsp vanilla essence (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 190C.
2. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
3. Combine egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl. Gently warm the egg white mixture over a saucepan of boiling water (without bottom of bowl touching the water) to dissolve the sugar. Stir often and test the mixture with your fingers to feel if the sugar has dissolved. Do not allow to get too hot or the eggs will begin cooking. When sugar has completely dissolved (no grittiness can be felt) remove from heat.
4. Add cream of tartar or salt if you wish (helps egg whites to whip up – I hardly ever use it) and begin whipping mixture with electric beaters. Continue until stiff peaks form, but do not continue past this point.
5. Add remaining ingredients and beat briefly.
6. Spread pavlova mixture on baking paper in a rough circle. Place in oven and immediately reduce temperature to 100C. Bake for about 90 minutes or until the outside feels 'crusty'. Turn off oven but leave pavlova inside with the door closed to cool down completely (or even overnight).
7. Serve topped with whipped cream and soft fruits such as kiwi, strawberries, banana, passionfruit or berries.


text: Share via Share via... Twitter Facebook Pinterest WhatsAppRecent ChangesSend via e-MailPrintPermalink × Afterword by the Editor The text and diagrams of this book were taken directly from a copy of Sloane Manuscript 2731. The handwriting in this section was small and cramped, even in comparison with the rest of the manuscript. It is very difficult to distinguish between the copyist's "o", "e", and "a"; thus there is some variation from other published editions in the names of various angels. They are as accurate as I can make them, given the state of the original materials. Punctuation marks and capitalization are virtually non-existent in the manuscript, particularly in the parts describing the individual angels and their subordinates. The punctuation in this edition represents my own best guess as to how the run-on strings of words are divided into sentences. The Ars Paulina is, in one way, the most sophisticated of the books of the Lemegeton. Unlike the other books, effective practice of its methods required a detailed knowledge of both mathematics and astronomy, possessed in those days only by those who could afford the full course of the traditional Liberal Arts education. As well, a tremendous amount of effort went into the preparations for any single operation of the Art. Calculating a single astrological chart by hand, without even the aid of a pre-calculated ephemeris, could consume many hours. There is one flaw in this sophistication, and it appears in the first paragraph of the book. There the author describes how the power governed by the angels ruling the dawn hour varies according to the day; Lunar on Monday, Martial on Tuesday, etc. Presumably the angels of the remaining hours either govern the same power, or follow something akin to the traditional cabalistic system of planetary hours, described in the Greater Key of Solomon and many other places. The problem with this is that the procedures described in the remainder of the book suggest that an entirely different system is being used to determine the invoked powers. To create the seal for the angels of a particular hour, the magician first casts the astrological chart for that hour in the day the work is to be done. The planetary glyph to be drawn in the center of the seal is the planet ruling the sign on the Ascendant of the chart. The glyphs of the remaining planets are drawn counterclockwise around the rim of the seal, starting with the fastest planet and ending with the slowest. Finally, for reasons not explained, the sign that is on the cusp of the twelfth astrological house is drawn in the center next to the ruler of the Ascendant. Therefore the planet emphasized in the seal may be different from the planet ruling the day of the week. For example, the date of the author's examples fell on a Wednesday, but since Aries was rising at dawn, the central planet in the seal for that hour is Mars. The planet ruling the day only shows up in the seals when a sign it rules is rising at the beginning of an hour. To invoke the angel of the hour, the magician is instructed to lay the Seal upon the Table of Practice. But he lays it upon the sigil of the planet ruling the rising sign, not upon the sigil of the Planet ruling the day and hour according to the cabalistic system of hours. Further, the invocation used makes no mention of the cabalistic ruler of the Day and Hour. It does mention elements of the Seals, and also refers to the angels' "rays"; this term is frequently used in medieval documents when discussing the action of the planets on the world, but I have never seen it used in relation to the cabalistic system of attributes. So every symbolic and operational element of this magick seems geared towards using the Lord of the Ascendant as the power ruling the hour. The preliminary mention of the Ruler of the Day, with its implied reference to the cabalistic method of rulership, is not supported by anything that comes afterwards. For the Seals shown in Part 1 of the book, the author chose the date of his example carefully. March 10, 1641 in the Old Style calendar ("according to the old account") is March 21 in the New Style, the first full day after the Spring Equinox. This was no doubt done to ease the process of calculations, since this is one of only two days during the year when the magickal "hours" of the day and night are of equal length, and are almost exactly one clock hour in length. At any other time of the year the day and night hours are longer or shorter, and this would have made the process of calculating the astrological charts for each hour rather more tedious and error-prone. Even so, it seems that he made a few small errors in his calculations, which show up in the example seals. A modern magician, with the assistance of a good computer and astrology software, can easily avoid this. The author calculated his charts for the date specified, and for a place at approximately the latitude of London, England. Comparing his seals with calculated charts for that date, it appears that he used a system of house calculations resembling the old Meridian or Porphyry systems. The Placidus house system more commonly used today produces results substantially different from those shown in the seals. It should also be noted that, despite the assertions of one commentator on this book, the author used the Tropical, precession-adjusted zodiac for his calculations, not any version of a sidereal or constellation-oriented zodiac. The example seals can only be produced if the Tropical zodiac is used. Benjamin Rowe June 22, 1999 Previous | Ars Paulina Last modified: 2018/01/18 19:17by John Bell

So what is the Meltdown and Spectre all about?
What are Meltdown and spectre?
The multiple vulnerabilities in the design of modern CPUs were disclosed on January 4, 2018. Taking advantage of certain processor performance optimizations, these vulnerabilities – named as Meltdown and spectre – making possible for the attackers to force applications into revealing the contents of system and application memory when manipulated correctly. These attacks work because the normal privileges checking behavior within the processor is subverted through the interaction of features like speculative execution, branch prediction, out of order execution, and caching.
Spectre was disclosed in CVE-2017-5753 and CVE-2017-5715. Meltdown was disclosed in CVE-2017-5754.
Why Meltdown and Spectre are dangerous?
Attacker can exploit Meltdown to get the data of other users. This can be used to steal the data from the other VMs running in the same hardware. This could severely affect the Cloud computing.
As this vulnerability lies in the hardware level, no matter what level of security you provide to applications that are running on these hardware is useless.
How meltdown works?
Meltdown works by exploiting the flaw in CPU optimization process called speculative execution. Meltdown works by tricking the processor to read an out-of-bounds memory location.
First the request is made for an illegal memory location after that a request is conditionally made to read a valid memory location. At the background processor completes the works for both the requests before checking whether the requests are valid or not. Once the processor understands that first request was invalid, it denies both the requests but the both the memory location remains in the processor's cache.
When a new valid request is made, if the processor returns the location quickly, then it means that the conditional request was executed. This can be used iteratively to know the value in out-of-bounds memory locations.
How Spectre works?
Spectre also plays around by exploiting speculative execution to read restricted value. Spectre comes with 2 variants with different level of complexities.
Variant 1 – Very similar to Meltdown, in spectre also requests location beyond bounds and then conditionally requests the valid location. This makes to load legal address into the cache based on the out-of-bound value. Based on the time taken to retrieve the legal value help to find out-of-bound memory location.
Variant 2 – This variant is very difficult to exploit and to mitigate. Processors can speculatively execute conditional statement even before they are evaluated. This can be done with the help of branch prediction.
In branch prediction, processor makes use of history of previous executions through a code path to pick a path for speculative execution. Branch selection will not be having absolute references to the decision. So, the attacker can trick the processor to take wrong decision. This gives the attacker the idea about memory values outside the acceptable range.
How to know that you're affected by Meltdown and spectre?
Meltdown and spectre affect majority of the modern processors. The most systems are vulnerable until specifically patched. This include desktop computer, servers, and compute instances operating in cloud environments.
Patches should be updated time to time; patches to protect against Meltdown and spectre are being released from operating system vendors.
In cloud and virtualized environments, providers will need to update the underlying infrastructure to protect their guests. Users will need to update their servers to mitigate the impact within the guest's operating systems.
How to protect?
The complete protection against this attack would require changes in CPU design. There are updates released by the vendors but these play around or disable the optimization behaviors which caused this attack. So, this patch would considerably decrease the performance. The extent of slow-down depends on the type of work being performed. The I/O processes experiences the more slow-down.
Below are some of the tips to protect your system against Meltdown and Spectre:
- Update your Operating System (OS)
- Update your firmware
- Update 3rd part softwares
- Keep your anti-virus software active and up-to-date
- Update your Browser.
Different Vendors started releasing the patches against Meltdown and Spectre as soon as they got to know about it. Windows was the most affected so, they released their patch way early on 3rd of January, 2018.
Below are some of the kernel update releases by different distributions:
- CentOS 7: kernel 3.10.0-693.11.6
- CentOS 6: kernel 2.6.32-696.18.7
- Fedora 27: kernel 4.14.11-300
- Fedora 26: kernel 4.14.11-200
- Ubuntu 17.10: kernel 4.13.0-25-generic
- Ubuntu 16.04: kernel 4.4.0-109-generic
- Ubuntu 14.04: kernel 3.13.0-139-generic
- Debian 9: kernel 4.9.0-5-amd64
- Debian 8: kernel 3.16.0-5-amd64
- Debian 7: kernel 3.2.0-5-amd64
- Fedora 27 Atomic: kernel 4.14.11-300.fc27.x86_64
- CoreOS: kernel 4.14.11-coreos
Still some of the distributions have not yet released their patch include:
- FreeBSD 11.x
- FreeBSD 10.x
There is no doubt that Meltdown and Spectre are very dangerous vulnerabilities which needs immediate attention. We still don't know how many vulnerabilities are hidden in our system. So, it's our responsibility to safeguard our system by regularly updating the security patches released by respective vendors. Keep updating with the articles, news related to Meltdown and Spectre.

Kaushik Guda, Senior Manager IT at Corporation Bank, Talks About the Certified Ethical Hacker
Read what Kaushik Guda had to say on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6481332676140859392/
I have recently completed the Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) credential from the world's best cybersecurity credentialing body, EC-Council. The C|EH training material and courseware was elaborative and easy to grasp.
For me, the best part of the training was getting through the practical exercises. I was able to get a hands-on experience in some real-life scenarios with the use of advanced ethical hacking tools and techniques. The program mimicked the feel of a real ethical hacker, going through the system in search of vulnerabilities and for solutions.
I am glad that I took the decision to attain this credential from EC-Council and I thank them for their continuous support and guidance. I recommend the C|EH program to every IT security professional.

Many years ago, I obtained a copy of Carvel Lee Jonas' book that he wrote on our particular Jonas family. I cannot seem to find my copy of the book now, but about 10 years ago I typed up most of it. I am going to make it available with full credit to him. Hopefully we can build off his research. I removed Carvel's home address and phone number off this preface. If you wish to contact him, please contact me. Further, I hope you will take the spirit of his preface to heart. If you have stories to add, documents to share, or corrections, please make them know. The sooner the better as time is our enemy when it comes to history.
"After more than four years of research and compiling I am thrilled to offer this Jonas family history book to family members. The more family members distribute this history book to other members, the more likely the history will survive into the future. This is your book! Use it to create greater family unity. When thoughtfully read the reader will discover a wonderful spirit which is associated with this history. To get that feeling it may need to be read more than once.
"This history book was no easy task! Information was collected from all over Utah, and also from Washington, Nebraska, Michigan, and Germany. We are blessed as a family to have the Jonas family pedigree from Germany, which was finally discovered in 1985. A feeling came to me that the records were in existence, and it was possible to trace the family surname back to Europe. In the process of looking for clues to extend that pedigree, I discovered that I had collected a considerable amount of information. Land records, church records, county records, census records, etc. The idea came to me that since I had so much information I might as well collect all that I could and make a history book. I collected more information and talked to older members of the family so that I could get to know the personal stories about different members of the family. I'd write down everything that I was told. When I finally had enough information I put it all into one story. Then I would get more information and rewrite the story again. Finally I added my research and some logical conclusions which would feel correct to the stories and rewrite them again. A special thank you to Verla Jonas Andersen Lythgoe for her willingness to answer my questions and tell me stories about Joseph and Annette Josephine Nelson Jonas. She is the main reason we have a story for them. When she was younger she would get my grandfather, William Nelson Jonas, and her mother, Rosa Nelson Jonas, together in the same room and quiz them about Joseph and Annie Jonas. Because she asked questions and because of her good memory we now have a wonderful story about Joseph and Annie Jonas. I remember taking all the letters that cousin Verla had sent to me, and putting all the information into a short story. Then I went to cousin Verla with the story and asked her what her opinion was. She corrected a part and eventually added more to the story. I added my personal impressions and finally typed the last revision. That is how the story of Joseph and Annie Jonas came into existence.
"The following persons gave information to me so I could write the individual life stories found in this book.
"Verla Jonas Anderson Lythgoe; Merlin Jonas Andersen; Lillian Jonas Talbot; Joseph H. Jonas; Spencer Jonas; Carvel Thompson Jonas; Vaughn Thompson Jonas; Annette Nelson Brown; Mabel Jonas Parvi; Mr. And Mrs. Otto Hansen; Armina Jonas Farnes; Calvin Andersen Jonas. Also, the autobiography of August Nelson and the biography of Christian Andersen were used and quoted when they applied to our direct family line. It should be noted that the life stories were written by a person who had never met anyone he wrote about. I never even met my grandfather, William Nelson Jonas, except as a small child. I relied on the documents which I found and the memories of the above mentioned family members. If there is a comment about something you read it is up to you to take the responsibility and let me know about it. This is not intended to be the last edition of this history. It is hoped that when more information comes from you, the family member, that there will be a future edition.
"This history was reproduced in an inexpensive way to assure that a copy may be given to every member of the family regardless of their financial situation. Perhaps a future edition will be professionally bound. Also, this book is designed so that you may add your personal history to this book. An attempt was not made, and will not be made by me, to write stories for those who are still living. Their stories would be better stories if you wrote them yourselves. I've left the responsibility for your own personal histories to you.

Rohr names Mikel, Ikeme, 21 others for Tanzania clash
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the match is "a dead rubber'' as both teams have already been eliminated from the tournament.
A statement on Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF ) website said that Rohr and the Super Eagles would use the game as rehearsal for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying series clash with Zambia in Ndola in October.
The Franco-German named Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles by NFF two weeks ago, called up three goalkeepers, eight defenders, four midfielders and eight forwards for the game scheduled for Uyo Stadium on Sept. 3.
Mikel Obi would be joined in the midfield by Ogenyi Onazi, Belgium-based former youth international, Wilfred Ndidi and Israel-based Nosa Igiebor, who has not featured for Nigeria since missing the cut for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Emmanuel Daniel joins Carl Ikeme and Ikechukwu Ezenwa to fight for the gloves, while home-based Jamiu Alimi finds a place among Leon Balogun, William Troost-Ekong, Chidozie Awaziem in the defence.
Other defenders on the list are Abdullahi Shehu, Musa Muhammed, Elderson Echiejile and Kingsley Madu.
Rohr, a former defender, has also opted for a strong attacking line, with assistant captain Ahmed Musa leading Kelechi Iheanacho, Moses Simon, Victor Moses, Imoh Ezekiel, Odion Ighalo, Brown Ideye and youngster Victor Osimhen.
All the players have been directed to report in Uyo on Aug. 28.

Are you a Joomla user? Details have been published online last week about a vulnerability in older versions of the Joomla content management system (CMS), a popular web-based application for building and managing websites. Learn more in a great ZDNet article:
The vulnerability was discovered by Italian security researcher Alessandro Groppo of Hacktive Security, and impacts all Joomla versions from 3.0.0 to 3.4.6, released between late September 2012 to mid-December 2015.
The vulnerability is trivial to exploit, and proof-of-concept exploit code has been published online.
It's a PHP object injection that can lead to remote code execution (RCE) under certain scenarios. For example, it can be exploited via the Joomla CMS' login form and can allow attackers to execute code on the site's underlying server.
