At the Speed of Mobile – Keeping Pace with Omnichannel Security
At the Speed of Mobile – Keeping Pace with Omnichannel Security
1 out of 4 cases of fraud in 2014 occurs in the mobile channel. Globally, businesses are enabling a mobile platform for their omnichannel processing environment at warp speed and a lot businesses are falling behind in securing their entire data environment. According to RSA's Anti-Fraud Command Center, during the first six months of 2014, 33% of banking transactions originated in the mobile channel, which marks an increase of 20% from 2013 and a 67% increase from 2012. Those numbers will continue to rise dramatically. How do you secure mobile devices inside your data environment? Data security often plays catch up with new technology and mobile continues to evolve on a weekly basis. That being said, there are complete data security technologies at your finger tips that not only secure at the point of transaction, but remove toxic data from your environment, lowering compliance burden/scope.
Security Sacrificed for Mobile
Mobile devices are easy to integrate into current data environments and are a cost effective way of expanding omnichannel acceptance to both employees and customers. A bring your own mobile device party has started in the mobile acceptance arena. However, that connectivity comes with a cost. The recent Raytheon backed study with the Ponemon Group identified that 60% of companies know full well that mobile devices diminish best security practices. The conundrum is securing your data environment versus opening every acceptance channel possible.. As a former QSA, securing your data environment should be the most important. Secure each channel before making it available to the public. Good luck keeping customers if you cannot secure their data.
Significant Disparity in Mobile Payment Solutions
currentC is getting whipped by ApplePay, which is being shamed by Starbucks. I will get to currentC in a minute. Starbucks, you are impressive and I extend a virtual high five! 7 million transactions a week all done through QR codes. Merchants are flocking to find out how Starbucks has done such a good job of presenting a mobile application that enables caffeine junkies (that's all of us) to avoid global meltdown if we get our coffee in our hands a few minutes sooner. Starbucks is the belle of the ball, again. I digress to my greater point, but really kudos to Starbucks. The topic at hand, currentC has already been breached and retailers are getting antsy on when the solution takes off its training wheels. The payment solution is not at full speed and happens to have the lowest of app reviews of all time. To make matters worse, currentC has already enforced their agreement with CVS and Rite-Aid to allow for proper evolution of the payment solution. i.e. You can't leave us until we have adequate time to work out the kinks. 1/3 of retailers are waiting. Tick Tock, Tick Tock. ApplePay is hot on their heels with 1 million activated credit cards in their first few days, but limited only to IOS users.
QR Codes Vs. NFC
My oodling over Starbucks is born in the success they are consistently securing millions of transactions, weekly. currentC uses a similar technology, so why were they hacked? ApplePay is on the other side of the aisle using NFC capabilities and tokenizing the payments at transaction. The ApplePay devices are also encrypted adding another layer of data security. What happened with currentC and why would their QR code technology be susceptible to a breach?
McAfee Labs broke down the vulnerability of currentC (MCX produced app). "We have found that in a group of popular retail apps, such as Costco's and Walgreens' apps for Android, when a QR code is scanned using the app's scanning feature, the app will pull content from the QR code's URL. (Costco has recently released an updated app in which the QR code-scanning feature has been removed.) These apps are supposed to determine that the URL is from a trusted source. However, unlike browsers that enforce the same-origin policy, the policy validation implemented by these apps can be bypassed with a carefully crafted QR code. Such a QR code can trick the app into pulling malicious code and execute it within the app. Here is a snippet of this research to demonstrate how sensitive user information–such as phone number, SIM card number, and user geolocation–can leak to attackers when the QR code is scanned."
On a high level, Starbucks and ApplePay have done a better job of creating a secure architecture for mobile transactions. Android has surpassed IOS as the largest operating system for mobile and no ApplePay for Android. All non-IOS users will be utilizing a mobile solution and currentC certainly has a massive opportunity to dominate the mobile payment space. First, they better figure out how secure their transactions.
Customers Need Security At The Point Of Transaction
Consumer authentication is more than just a username and password. RSA reports that 62% of consumers are not comfortable with websites that require username and password to gain entry. 100% of consumers should not be comfortable with traditional logins and no consumer authentication and/or tokenization. The extra time caused by the authentication is negligible to a consumer. Heck, the majority of consumers even admitted to regularly changing their passwords to avoid a breach.
I was reading a recent article from darkreading where a CEO of a retailer was quoted as saying, "Why us? We aren't a bank." If that is your take on the state of data security, then I suggest grabbing your ball and going home. Cyber thieves don't create new algorithms and malware for kicks. They want your money, plain and simple. They will find every risk point in your data environment to find points of penetration. Data breaches are a matter of when not if. Get prepared and understand that.
Tokenize. Tokenize. Tokenize.
Not all tokenization solutions are the same, but there are a lot companies jumping on the bandwagon. True tokenization is meant to push the boundaries of your compliance as far out as they can go. Tokenization happens at the point of transaction and only one token value can be held. All mobile transactions can be tokenized at the point of transaction and that is the most important takeaway from all of this. Removing the toxic data, immediately, from your environment lowers PCI compliance and the risk of losing valuable customer data. Let's say you do get breached then the cyber-thief has a meaningless value like a token. That's a whole lot better than your best customer's payment information.

What is a Nightmare?
If you child is a "good sleeper" and suddenly wakes up crying, and is clingy, scared and has trouble going
back to sleep, she may be having a nightmare. Usually it happens in the second half of the night, when
dreaming is most likely to occur.
Why nightmares happen
Toddler's nightmares are more likely linked to something that happened just before bed, like listening to
a story that scared him or watching an upsetting show. Separation anxiety in some toddlers, being sick
or being away from a parent for s stretch of time can be a cause for nightmares.
Do not blame yourself since nightmares are not linked to emotional problems. An occasional bad dream
is normal for young children.
You can help you child after a nightmare by holding her, rubbing her neck until she calms down and
giving her a favorited stuffed animal to sleep with her. Check that the night light is on and keep her
bedroom door open. If you bring your child into bed with you to comfort her, you may be aware you be
creating a habit that is hard to reverse.
Preventing nightmares by having a routine before bedtime not fool proof but can work in many
instances. A warm bath, a calming story, and a quiet song, can ward off night mares. Your child's room
temperature should be at around 65 degrees suggested by the National Sleep Foundation. Too much
light is disturbing for a child.
If your child's nightmares persist or if he becomes extremely afraid of going to bed, talk to your doctor
or health visitor. If anything specific is triggering these nightmares they most likely will help you work
through it with her/him.
I had to call one of my Baby Power parents one evening, and the Dad answered the phone. I asked for
the mother and he said "Hold on, I have to change places with my wife. She is laying on the floor in the
hallway so our son (in his crib) can see her head." I had to stifle a laugh- he was so serious.
So folks, you are not alone in the separation anxiety group!!
What are Night Terrors?
A Night Terror is a sleep disruptions that seems similar to a nightmare. Night Terrors happen during
deep non-REM sleep. They are not technically a dream but more like a sudden reaction of fear that
happens during the transition from one sleep phase to another.
Night Terrors usually occur about 2 -3 hours after a child falls asleep. The transition from a non rem
stage is usually a smooth one but rarely, a child becomes agitated and frightened- and that fear reaction
is a night terror. The child remains sound asleep while having a night terror.
During a night terror, a child might sit upright in bed and scream or shout out in distress. Their breathing
and heart rate may be faster, or her may sweat, thrash about and act upset. After a few minutes the
child calms down and goes back to sleep. A child will have no memory of a night terror, unlike
nightmare. Night Terrors are not usually a cause for concern or a sign of a deeper medical issue. They
will be inconsolable no matter what you try. The child will have no memory of the night terror in the

How to change the distance between anchor and image on calc [closed]
Hi All, I have pasted some image on a Calc spreadsheet and I want to anchor those image to specific cell, but if I move the image the anchored cell changes. How can I freely move the image on spreadsheet with without changing the cell where the image is anchored to?
Actual behavior: I paste an image to the cell "D5", when I move the image up the anchor move to the image to "D2"
Desired/Expected behavior: I paste an image to the cell "D5", I move the image up and the anchor does't move
My goal is to be able to hide/show image only when certain cell are hidden/visible. So, I thought, to anchor image to a fixed cell, in this way when I hide/show certain cells the image anchored to them become hidden/visible. The only problem is that I cannot move image around otherwise the anchored cell change.
Any idea?

Canterbury District Health Board is on high alert for new measles cases after finding out an infected passenger caught two domestic flights
Travellers on board two Jetstar flights between Christchurch and Auckland last week may have been exposed.
The infected person had been told to stay at home.
"They had been asked to keep themselves isolated and they, thereafter, got on a flight and flew down to Christchurch against instructions," Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Alistair Humphrey told RNZ.
"They then developed symptoms so tracking back we were able to [find out] that, unfortunately, they were contagious while they were on the flight."
The DHB is advising anyone who travelled on JQ237 on June 6 and JQ236 on June 8 to check their measles immunisation - and stay home from work or school.
"They can return to work if they are still not unwell on Saturday, June 22," Dr Humphrey said.
"It's impossible to know how many people on the flight would have been vulnerable in that way. Obviously if people are fully vaccinated they are not at risk."
Anyone showing symptoms - including a dry cough, headache, runny nose, temperature or rash - should also stay away from their local practise and hospital.
- Measles outbreak: Who is most at risk of catching the disease?
- Current measles vaccination policies not working in some countries - experts
- Parents 'scaremongered' into not vaccinating kids
"In Canterbury you can call your own GP team after hours and be put through to a nurse who can provide advice at any time of day or night - or people from outside Canterbury and living elsewhere in New Zealand can call Healthline on 0800 611 116," the DHB said in a statement.
Measles has been making a comeback in recent years with the rise of the anti-vax movement, which the World Health Organization recently named one of the biggest threats to health worldwide.

SEA BUCKTHORN Fruit Oil BIO | 30 ml
|Price excl. VAT
€ 21,73
|Price incl. VAT
€ 24,99 with VAT
|in stock
100% organic oil from the fruit of alpine Tibetan seaberry.
Oil extracted from the full fruit of an original alpine variety of Tibetan seaberry.
Seaberry is a key contributor to the body's natural defences and supports the immune system's activity. It strengthens cardiac activity and ensures that the metabolism and intestinal tract function normally. It also has beneficial effects on the skin, the mucous membranes of the eye and the oral cavity. Not least, seaberry has positive effects on the mind and is also considered a natural antidepressant.
Unlike seaberry seed oil, which is also widely used to treat skin problems, the main benefit of seaberry fruit oil is that it compounds the beneficial effects that seaberry has on your health. Therefore, we recommend using it especially in combination with seaberry juice or capsules. Because the oil contains extremely concentrated nutrients and is easy to take, it also offers an ample and 100% natural boost to the immunity of children over three years of age.
As many as thirty fresh seaberry fruits are needed to collect a single drop of this oil.
Recommended dosage: Adults: 2-7 drops, 1-3 times per day. Children from 3 years: 1-3 drops per day.

How to Avoid Foreclosure
Avoiding Foreclosure The dream of becoming a homeowner is still at the top of the list for many people. In a recent survey by the National Association of Realtors, 75% of non-owners believe that homeownership is part of their American Dream. It can take years to become a homeowner and only a few missed monthly payments to face foreclosure. In this article we will discuss some of the things you can do to protect yourself from foreclosure and if you are already in the foreclosure process, some of the things you need to beware of.
First, what does it mean to be in Foreclosure?
Foreclosure is a legal process in which a lender attempts to recover the balance of a loan from a borrower who has stopped making payments to the lender by forcing the sale of the asset used as the collateral for the loan.[1]
Formally, a mortgage lender (mortgagee), or other lienholder, obtains a termination of a mortgage borrower (mortgagor)'s equitable right of redemption, either by court order or by operation of law (after following a specific statutory procedure).[2]
Sustainable Homeownership
Prepare yourself to be a successful long-term homeowner through Pre-Purchase Education and Counseling before you buy a home. Avenue is committed to helping Houstonians achieve the dream of homeownership in a sustainable way. In a NeighborWorks study, clients that attended class and counseling were one-third less likely to become 90 or more days delinquent. Education should be a key part in your journey to homeownership. Avenue offers First Time Homebuyer classes that prepare you to become the best advocate for yourself in the home buying process so that you can position yourself for long-term success as a homeowner.
Our classes are taught by certified Housing Counselors who are trained in educating clients in the home buying process with a particular focus on "sustainability" – which we define as buying a home that you can comfortably afford long-term and has the potential to build equity and wealth for you. During class you will learn about:
- Creating a household budget to determine how much home you can afford to buy based on your actual expenses and not based on the lender Pre-Approval which doesn't usually include you essential living costs like medical care or child care.
- Credit Score requirements in order to get a mortgage Pre-Approval as well as understand how different items on your credit report impact (or not) your ability to purchase a home and things you can do to improve your credit score.
- Shopping for a home mortgage and how to compare the loan options apples-to-apples to make sure you find a lender and a long product that meets your financial needs. Learn the difference between a Conventional Loan product and an FHA (and VA, USDA loans).
- The Home Shopping Process, what to expect, what the norms are and how to avoid common and costly pitfalls.
- Down Payment Assistance programs available and how to access them
Facing Foreclosure? Here's what to do next.
If you have missed a few monthly mortgage payments and are in the foreclosure process, you will likely want to get the fastest help possible. Unfortunately, there are companies that will promise help only to scam you out of your money or your home. Keep reading to find out what to be aware of and who you can look to for help.
First, beware of deceptive messages, like:
- "Get A Loan Modification!"
- "Stop Foreclosure Now!
- "100% Money Back Guarantee!"
Once the scam artist has your attention they may offer one of the following services:
An Audit
In this scheme the scam artists will ask for an upfront fee in exchange for reviewing your documents or having a lawyer review them to see if your lender complied with the law. They may call themselves an "auditor", a "mortgage loan auditor" or a "foreclosure prevention auditor."
Phony Counseling
The scam artists tell you that if you pay them a fee they will negotiate a deal with your mortgage lender and possibly save your home. One telltale sign is that they tell you to not contact your lender while they work on your case. They may also ask that you send your monthly mortgage payment directly to them.
Rent to Buy or Equity Skimming
An offer to buy your home is made if you sign over the deed to your house and move out. Once you transfer the deed the con artist will rent your home and let the mortgage company go through with the foreclosure. A transferred deed DOES NOT transfer what you owe to the mortgage company so you will lose your home and still owe the mortgage company. In another variation of this scheme you are asked to transfer over the title to your home, you can stay and rent it and then buy it back later. What they do not tell you is that buying it back is usually so expensive you'll never afford it.
Steps to Take If You Face Foreclosure
- Gather all documents that you will need including your loan documents. Read them so that you know what your lender may do if you can't make your payments.
- Contact your mortgage lender's Loss Mitigation Department. Let them know about your situation. They have options that may be able to help you.
- Check HUD's Avoiding Foreclosure page for information on programs that you may qualify for
- Contact a local government approved housing counseling agency
https://apps.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hcc/hcs.cfm. Help from a HUD approved counseling agency is free of charge.
Things to Remember
Facing foreclosure is a stressful situation, but there is hope. Never give anyone money upfront with the promise to help you and never sign any documents that you do not read and understand. If you need guidance to learn about your options, to find resources that may help you, and/or to negotiate with your lender, call the HomeOwnership Center to find out if you are eligible for Foreclosure Prevention Counseling. If you don't qualify, we can direct you to other community resources or to an online self-help portal for more guidance.

Our clients
"We had been in a serious situation with our mortgage due to unemployment…I called Avenue CDC and was connected with (their foreclosure counselor.) (She) made sure all paperwork was accurate and never gave up on our account. After four months we finally received word from the mortgage company.

"I want to personally acknowledge and thank Avenue CDC Foreclosure Prevention Counselor. If it wasn't for her patience, knowledge, persistence and expertise in handling my mortgage modification, I would have definitely faced foreclosure. I tried the process on my own and through the bank. Those efforts were frustrating and unsuccessful. Her unwavering efforts and guidance through this challenging maze resulting in a modification. I am truly blessed and thankful for her. I hope others will seek out and utilize this service." Mia C. Trevillion-Barney

A fire broke out at the Srinagar International Airport today in the area under the control of the Indian Air Force, disrupting the air traffic for sometime, officials said.
"There was a fire at the airport on Air Force side, which has now been put out," an official of the Airport Authority of India said.
He said while there was no damage done due to the fire, the air traffic had to be briefly suspended as a precautionary measure.
"Normal flight operations have now resumed," he added.
Sources said the dry grass at the airfield had caught fire but the cause of it was not known immediately.

[Ed – This is Part II of a two-part series by Robert Henderson. You can find Part I here.]
Types of working which make equal pay impossible
There are large sections of the working population in countries such as the UK who are remunerated in ways which makes equal pay impossible. These are:
Self-employment – A large and growing part of the working age population in the UK. The latest official figures are 4.8 million.
Piece work – A sizeable proportion of the population receive all or part of their income from piece work.
Commission – A sizeable proportion of the population receive all or part of their income from commission.
Bonuses for meeting targets – These are found in both private enterprise employers and public service employers.
Loyalty and experience pay rises – Much of public sector employment includes graduated increases based on the number of years served. These serve as rewards for experience and loyalty. Some private businesses operate the same type of schemes. Women on average will be less likely than men to get such increases because they will probably have some sort of break in their careers if they have children. But that does not mean women are being discriminated against. Rather, it is simply that they are not meeting the qualifying criteria.
These types of remuneration cover many millions of people in the UK. Is anyone seriously going to suggest making them illegal?
Differential ability
But even where the form of remuneration makes equal pay in principle possible, there may be good reason not to give equal pay even to people employed to do the same job. These reasons are:
Not all workers are equally able .
Not all workers are equally diligent.
Competence will grow with experience.
The value of a person may rest on their reputation. This is particularly true of people in show-business or modelling. It would plainly be absurd to, for example, expect that actors and actresses should be paid the same simply because they are working on the same film. A film is a commercial enterprise and the employment of a particular actor of actresses can make a considerable difference to its commercial success. A similar argument applies to models.
The selection of someone to do a job
In the end the qualities required do a job and their assessment of an applicant have to be a matter of judgement by the employer who will be trying to satisfy themselves on these points:
Does the person have the any necessary formal qualifications for the job?
Is the person overqualified for the job?
Does the person have the right experience?
Does the person have good references from previous employers?
Does the person seem to be someone who gets along with people generally?
Does the employer feel they can get on with the person?
Does the person seem to have initiative?
The consideration of these questions give rational grounds for differential pay before an applicant has even begun work.
Men and women are not interchangeable in the workplace
Clearly there are significant numbers of jobs which women cannot do at all or as well as men on average for reasons of bodily strength. It is true that the numbers of such jobs are considerably fewer than they were 50 years ago, but there are still plenty of them, for example in construction, where the average woman would struggle to match the average man. To that type of job can be added work such as police officers which require people who can deal physically with violent offenders.
Then there are jobs which in principle men or women could both do with equally facility but which are favoured by one sex or another. Primary school teachers tend to be women; engineers tend to be men.
On the grounds of biology alone the idea that men and women would naturally have the same desire on average to gravitate in the same numbers to the same sorts of jobs is dubious. To start from the most obvious difference, women have babies. Amongst mammals it is overwhelmingly the female which takes the main burden of rearing the young. It would be very odd indeed if homo sapiens was radically different in terms of a basic biological driver such as the maternal instinct.
Women with children tend to work in jobs which fit around childcare. Many of those jobs are low skilled and even when skilled are often part-time. Either from choice or necessity women take these jobs to attend to the care of their children. As most women want have children this inevitably means that the average pay for women is going to be lower than that of men.
Half a century of state sponsored urging has not worked
Legislation banning discriminatory pay in the UK has been around for since 1970 when the Equal Pay Act was passed. Since that time there has been a huge amount of public urging by politicians, the media and academia to get women to aspire to traditionally male work. The idea of the working mother is no longer looked down upon, at least in public discussion. More and more women have gone on to higher education until they now substantially outnumber men. In addition, the shape of the UK economy has changed considerably with manual jobs much reduced. All of these things would seem to bolster the idea of male and female pay equality. Yet women still show a marked preference for traditional women's jobs, part time working and taking career breaks to have children.
None of this means that no women will want to do jobs which are considered traditionally male jobs or that no men will want to do jobs considered traditionally female jobs. But it does mean that most women will be drawn to jobs traditionally occupied by women not because there are societal barriers against it but as a result of biologically driven circumstances and motivations. Once that is accepted, the fact that on average the pay of women is significantly less than that of men will not mean that employers are often wilfully underpaying women but instead are simply reflecting female choices. At worst there is no great general wrong done to women in the workplace; at best the gender pay gap, when properly analysed, is too small to cause concern. It may even be non-existent.

In the movie entitled Female Ninjas: The Magic Chronicles, the assassins are equally skilled in all manner of sexual arts as they are in ninjin'. In this clip from the movie a female ninja dispatches a foe by using deadly bubbles from her nether regions. I'd like to see a Female Ninja Vs. Jungle Jane match up.
The video is from Japan, where everything makes perfect sense and nothing insane ever happens.

Living authentically as an autistic adult
Posted on: Fri 2 Nov 2018
Growing up as someone who is on the Autism spectrum is fraught with many emotional, psychological and social obstacles. But what's it like for those who get diagnosed later in life?
Former chairperson of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network Incorporated (Australia and New Zealand), Katharine Annear, discusses with De-Stigmatised's Jarad and Aiden about living authentically as an autistic adult and why women and girls remain clinically misdiagnosed.

2. Industrial Bathroom Design
Industrial design is well-known for its incomplete or semi-finished interior. A bathroom design that seems messy with a combination of dark colors is precisely what makes this bathroom seem more artistic and charming.
For floors, you can use parquet, cement, or ceramics. You can use stones for wooden bathtubs and tables as a place for toiletries. Also, pay attention to the lighting of this industrial bathroom to be unique and artistic.
3. Scandinavian Bathroom Design

With the dominance of cool colors such as white and pastel colors, making this Scandinavian style suitable to be applied to make the room seem spacious and spacious, very suitable for application to your bathroom.
The right lighting settings will make this Scandinavian-style bathroom even brighter and wider, and will certainly save on your electricity use in the morning and afternoon. Because this Scandinavian style carries a simple concept, you should not display too many ornaments or decorations in this bathroom. Just use decorations such as vases or ornamental plants so that the bathroom looks fresh and cool.
4. Vintage Bathroom Design
If you like unique and clean things, then you can apply this vintage-style bathroom. This style is quite unique and artistic to try. Old and classic impressions are very attached to this style. Vintage bathroom floors are usually geometric patterns. Also, add a mirror so that your bathroom looks more spacious than the original. And also don't apply too many wall decorations to this vintage-style bathroom.
5. Rustic Bathroom Design
If you like the calm, warm and natural countryside, you can try the design of this bathroom. The rustic style further highlights the simple impression of the countryside by using all wood and natural stone furniture. You can place several decorative plant pots as a complement to your bathroom. One thing to note in making this rustic style bathroom is, never use white lights, because it will make this rustic bathroom look dirty and dull.

What do you do when you have feelings for someone, yet you know it's wrong? I haven't admitted to him how I feel, but I don't think I should. Perhaps it will cause more drama, so for now I will keep my feelings to myself. I just don't know how much longer I can hold it in...
In other news, I got into major trouble at the jobstead last week. I'm lucky to HAVE a job today, because that's what kind of backlash fell upon my head. I am one blessed young lady.
Grad school is tougher than I imagined and yet easier than I imagined. It's the weirdest paradox.
Well, I supposed that's it for my very first entry. I'll try to write often and I probably will. Let's face it. Work sucks sometimes.

Choosing Cleaning Products When You Have Pets
It has been said that cleaning a house with pets is like brushing your teeth while eating Oreos — both are fruitless endeavors. That said, it's still important to do (the first one, that is) at least every now and again, especially because you have pets.
Pets live close to the floor and carpeting; they lick windows, flooring, frankly most any surface (repeatedly!), so making sure our cleaning products are free from harmful toxins is important.Also because pets are smaller and often breathe deeper and more rapidly than people, they intake more airborne toxins than we do, and unfortunately they can't open a door or a window themselves to "air out" a nasty and irritating cleaning chemical smell.
The Top Cleaning Product Ingredients That Could Be Harmful to Your Pets
Ammonia is often found in window cleaner, oven cleaner, counter top sprays and scrubs, degreasers, carpet cleaner, as well as in drain cleaner. Ammonia is a powerful respiratory irritant and your pet can suffer respiratory tract problems if they breathe in too much of the stuff. (You know that pungent odor coming from your cat's litter box when you don't scoop often enough? That's often ammonia and it's a common reason why cats steer clear of their unkempt litter boxes!)
Chlorine (Bleach)
Chlorine is a primary ingredient in many cleaning and sanitizing products, including laundry detergents, dish detergents, and disinfectants. This is probably the most common cleaning product ingredients found around the home, and is a very potent irritant of the respiratory tract in cats and dogs (as well as in people). When inhaled or ingested, chlorine can cause lightheadedness, dizziness, vomiting, and mucous membrane damage. If you have a pet that likes to drink from the toilet bowl be very careful with what you use to keep the toilet bowl clean, as many toilet cleaners contain chlorine bleach.
You'll also want to check your cleaning products for the presence of Phthalates (often simply labeled as "fragrance"), Glycol Ethers, and Formaldehyde. Even products labeled as "natural" cleaners might contain ingredients that are toxic to pets but technically natural by definition.
If you use such cleaning products around your home, do so only in accordance with the manufacturers instructions and be especially cautious to use them in well-ventilated areas and do not use them in the presence of your pets.
WARNING: Whatever you do, never, never, never combine an ammonia-containing product with a chlorine-containing one! It will release highly dangerous gases called chloramines, which are extremely potent respiratory irritants and can cause significant problems for both pets and people.
Choose Household Cleaning Products That Are Safer For Your Pets
Fortunately these days there are lots of household cleaners that have fewer chemicals, clean just as effectively, and are safer for your pets. Here are a few brands to consider:
- Better Life (If your dog loves licking glass doors or windows, this Better Life Glass Cleaner is a good choice)
- BioKleen
- Seventh Generation (Note: many cats don't like the smell of citrus. So if you are using any product that has a citrus smell, like this Seventh Generation cleaner, be careful not to use it around your cat's litter boxes and feeding areas, and always use them in places with good ventilation when there are cats in the home.)
- Tru All Natural Multi-Purpose Cleaner
- For cleaning up pee and poo accidents, check out our Cleaning Up Potty Accidents article for enzymatic cleaners that are best to use around your pets.
You can even make DIY pet-safe household cleaners with ingredients like distilled white vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide.
If you believe your pet has ingested or inhaled harmful toxins, contact your veterinarian right away. Keep these Pet Poison Control resources handy as well — hopefully you will never need them, but in the event you do, you'll be glad you've got them!
Happy cleaning! Or should I say "good luck" cleaning? Either way, now I'm going to go eat some Oreos :-)

Sustainable development
In this step, you will be introduced to the concept of sustainable development and explore various definitions and applications throughout time and across different contexts.
A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.
(Greek proverb)
The first landmarks of sustainable development
Following several decades of warfare and economic depression, the second half of the 20th century was marked by the conflict between economic growth and accelerating environmental degradation. This brought to the surface the need to harmonise prosperity with conservation, and view sustainable development as an essential alternative to unlimited economic development.
According to Du Pisani (2006), the conceptual underpinnings for the current use of the term 'sustainable development' were set in place in the early 1970s. A 'Blueprint for Survival' was an environmental text, initially published in The Ecologist and later as a book, that highlighted the urgency and magnitude of environmental problems and called for a stable, decentralised and largely de-industrialised society that could:
…be sustained indefinitely while giving optimum satisfaction to its members.
(Goldsmith et al. 1972)
This was followed by 'The Limits to Growth', a report based on the simulation of exponential economic and population growth considering a finite supply of resources. This work concluded that it would be:
…essential for the society to reduce the rate of resource usage to avoid a collapse induced by nature or the market
and recommended:
…a condition of ecological stability that is sustainable far into the future
…capable of satisfying the basic material needs of all people (Meadows et al. 1972)
The 1972 Stockholm Conference
These concepts were consolidated in the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, also known as the Stockholm Conference, which emphasised the need for humanity to halt the destruction of irreplaceable natural resources and safeguard them by managing development and the environment in a mutually beneficial way. Although the term 'sustainable development' was not yet referred to explicitly, it was the first time the international community agreed on its notion.
The Stockholm Conference emphasised the necessity to:
…shape actions with a more prudent care for their environmental consequence
in order to:
…defend and improve the human environment for present and future generations.
(United Nations 1972)
The 1987 WCED Brundtland Report
Concerned by the continued uncontrollable exploitation of natural resources in the north and the enormous poverty in the south, the United Nations issued in the 1980s an urgent call to the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) to develop a 'global agenda for change'. Sustainable development became a central discussion point at the 1987 General Assembly of United Nations during which the WCED issued the 'Our Common Future' report. Known also as the Brundtland report, this was a global guideline calling the world's nations to work together and formulate political and economic agendas that would unite development and the environment. The sustainable development notion was defined for the first time (United Nations 1987):
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
(Brundtland report, WCED, United Nations 1987)
According to the Brundtland report, sustainable development is:
…a process of change in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development and institutional change are all in harmony and enhance both current and future potential to meet human needs and aspirations.
(United Nations 1987)
The 1992 Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit and Agenda 21
However, it was not until the 1992 Rio de Janeiro United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), also known as the Earth Summit, that world leaders recognised sustainable development as the major challenge it remains today. The Earth Summit was the first international large-scale attempt to draw up action plans and policies to ensure all economic decisions would fully take into account environmental impacts. It led to the adoption of Agenda 21, a wide-range blueprint for action that aimed to achieve sustainable development worldwide by scrutinising the production of toxic components, the use of alternative sources of energy, the prudent use of water and the expansion of public transport systems to reduce emissions, congestion and human health impacts (United Nations 1997).
The latest international initiatives about sustainable development
Since the Earth Summit in 1992, the international community has convened a significant number of major conferences, such as the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, the 2012 Rio+20 Summit, the 2015 Sustainable Development Summit in New York and the 2016 Paris Agreement on Climate Change. Their aim was to assess progress against current agreements, share experiences among member states, enhance understanding of environmental issues, orchestrate a concerted effort to assist individual countries in realising their commitments and set new sustainable development targets for the future.

I'm a long-time admirer of the hard work being done here, and I wanted to contribute, although I rarely get things done and don't really understand any of the technical stuff going on here. I was disappointed to realize that I wouldn't be able to make very good sets, since the area of my interest is the Neo Geo Pocket (+Color) and NeoPop/MESS don't have any ways to help log music without getting sound effects and having to deal with things like the music being muted when you pause during a boss battle and so on.
It was only when I reread this thread and noticed the link in post #58715 leading to thor.pdroms.de that I began to piece together a method of doing a thorough log of the audio:
1. Use MusicDump to dump the music files from a game to .bin files, ex:
musicdump biomotor.ngc biomotor b
2. Use NGPConv ("Convertion tools") to stick the music into a homebrew rom, usually with a command line such as:
java -classpath ngpconv.jar GIF2NGP whatever gif 1 bin biomotor0.bin
3. Open resulting mymovie.ngp in NeoPOP and voila! That song, ready for logging, no interference.
However, I noticed that both the Sonic Pocket Adventure and MOTM packs were logged with the modified version of MESS available here (well, an older one). Normally MESS rejects a homebrew rom, but in this particular case, all you have to do is use a hex editor to pad the size of mymovie.ngp. WindHex has an option (Ctrl+N) to do just this, and simply inflating it to 2097152 bytes will make MESS treat it normally, at which point it can be used to log the music.
It's a pretty convoluted method, sure, but it looks to solve some of the problems that can normally make VGM logging a pain, and you guys might be able to improve the process by figuring out something I overlooked. There is an additional problem in that the largest rom size doesn't seem to be supported, but very few games use that (only ones I know of are Metal Slug 2nd Mission and MOTM). I also imagine someone here might be able to fix this shortcoming in musicdump should they feel so inclined.
Speaking of MESS, it seems to play game audio better than NeoPOP does in at least some situations - but I might be imagining it, because I'm very bad at listening to music (I can hear it just fine, but I have no ability to critically examine or contrast it).
MESS also has some audio options that can be set overall or per emulator, and I'd appreciate it if you guys could tell me if there is some ideal setting for them to be at or if I should just leave them as they are in MESS VGM. I'd also be grateful if someone could tell me a way to skip setting the BIOS each time (I'm not very good at sniffing out options like that).
Besides the requests for clarification, I'd also like to apologize if this was all already discussed/obvious. My eyes tend to glaze over easily when it comes to audio discussion. But hopefully this will make people a bit more interested in logging NGPC games (Neo Turf Masters being one example of a game people might like done, as noted on the previous page).
|Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2011 9:28 pm
I finally worked on the ADPCM B tool and added the option for sample rate selection.
It's now possible to set the sample rate in Hz and with DeltaT register value and chip clock.
The archive now also includes a makefile, which I only wrote because FRONT requested it, btw. (I'm using Visual C++, so I don't need makefiles.)
btw: 44.1 Hz was exactly right for the Neo Turf Masters ROM I used to test it.
Wow - that method works ... simply wonderful. Thanks. I'll rip Neo Turf Masters after I'm finished with Lemmings 3D.
I already tried musicdump some months ago and I noticed too, that some games (like MoTM and SPA) don't work. I also fixed it to work with these games and managed to extract music from MoTM, but had no use for the extracted files.
Now I can try it again and this time I'll hopefully be able to rip the missing songs. (I tried to hack/debug the game multiple times to make the songs play, but I failed.)
About MESS: Yes, it plays the audio a lot better than NeoPop. (Due to timing problems, the music NeoPop is too slow and gets faster and slower randomly.)
MESS does all things perfectly. (Aside from a small sound emulator bug that mutes all right-channel-only tones. But that doesn't affect the VGM rips.)
The audio options in MESS don't affect the VGM rips in any way, so you can play with them or leave them - it doesn't matter.
Skipping the BIOS screen is easy but annoying and you'll need to redo it for every game.
At first you set all the options until the BIOS screen appears. Now make a save state with Shift + F7.
The next time you open the game in MESS, just press Q to turn the console on and then load the save state with F7. (The BIOS' palette will be wrong, but after that it's all right.)

Hi to everybody
thank you once again, valleyBell for this new version
I test this new version as soon as I can ... and I say if it's ok
what tests you have done with NeoTurf Master, what precisely BGM ?
who knows here the famous Japanese multi Sound player 'HOOT' ?
-> MIC may be ???
it's in open source, I believe ...
-> ValleyBell : a version with VGM log is possible?
I tried to find informations concerning the Data Format : the Driver work in fact
I work on it, but I need more informations
|Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:46 am
Afraid not.
|Posted: Fri Oct 28, 2011 6:20 pm
Hoot player:
VGM support would be neat, but source code is very old though (goes back to 2001).
|Posted: Mon Oct 31, 2011 4:09 pm
>Kaminari :
''but source code is very old though (goes back to 2001).''
You' re right : hootsrc20011006.cab !!!
Mic : take a look at the attachement file !

Three days ago MAME 0144 got released (MESS was released yesterday), so it's time for a new version of my MAME/MESS VGM mod.
To make the packages smaller, I made some extra rars (called "AdditionalFiles") with folders like "artwork" and "hash" that can be large and it would just increase upload and download times, if they're included in every update.
Direct links:
MAME 32-bit (15.1 MB) / 64-bit (15.7 MB), additional files (150 KB)
MESS 32-bit (6.55 MB) / 64-bit (7.16 MB), additional files (13.9 MB) - note: MESSUI only
MAME/MESS source diff (15 KB)
All in al it it took me ~4 hours to compile all that stuff - 1 h for plain MAME, 1 h for plain MESS, 1 h applying the 0140-diff to the 0144 source (they changed their internal interface a lot, so patch.exe failed to apply at least one change per file), and finally 1 h to make MESSUI compile (they removed it with 0143u4 or so, but I like it very much)
I haven't tested it very much, but the few vgm logs I made were okay.
btw: To save space on my harddrive, I now store MAME and MESS in the same folder. But they still take too much space. (130 MB source code, 558 MB obj-files for MAME 32+64, 317 MB for MESSUI 32+64)
That also saves me the trouble of synchronizing the code between each of them.
And: there's now support for the SCC1 / K051649. Use the attached VGMPlay.exe for playing.
I decided to remove the OKIM6376 for now. I think the emulation was incomplete anyway.
P.S.: Hoot's 2001 source is really too old, so I won't do any vgm mod of it.

|If Salamander has a Sound Test, I can rip. But if don't, I cannot rip (since the MSX savestate support on MESS is low, much like SMS/GG savestates).
|Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2011 2:33 pm
|If Salamander cannot has a Sound Test, I can rip a simple game like Title Memory, the 2 Ruce games or Go Othello, or a demo like Fony Demo.
|Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2011 5:08 pm
BUG REPORT: VGMPlay with SCC support don't reproduce AY's data of VGM file if SCC is present! Tested with A1 Spirit, Parodius and Nemesis 3 (machines are Expert Plus and MSX2+).
MESS seems to be have the Speaker on all machines. Why?
|Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:31 am
It does, but the SCC is too loud. I lowered its volume to ~60 %, so it should work now.
I don't know - the MSX maybe has some way to play speech/digital SFX via software-controlled streaming.
I've compiled MAME 2 times before (v0.136 and 0.140) and I knew it would take long.
Also my laptop is DualCore with HT, so I always compile the 32- and 64-bit versions simultaneously and still have some free resources to do something else.
Once its completely compiled it takes only a few seconds to recompile it with small changes.
btw: Compiling openMSX the first time took much longer, because it uses tons of 3rd-party libs.

Can we still post bug reports for the old in_vgm (pre 0.40)?\
If so, there's a bug with looping jingles - if the song's loop length is shorter than the set fadeout time, the plugin will keep playing the song infinitely.
Easily checked with Fatal Fury VGM log, song The Suspicious Guy (Midway Demo) and fade-out time longer than or equal to 7000 ms.
|Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2011 4:44 pm
|Wow :) I guess I never found any looping VGM shorter than the standard 5s fadeout time. I think it's worth seeing if it is a bug in the current version, as old ones aren't maintained.
|Posted: Mon Nov 21, 2011 10:27 pm
Sorry, bug reports for my version of in_vgm 0.35 beta aren't of any use.
With version 0.40 I completely recoded in_vgm, so all bugs not present in VGMPlay should be gone.
This bug was already reported a few times so I know about it. (This bug is only present in my updated 0.35 beta - not in Maxim's in_vgm and not in in_vgm 0.40.)
btw: Pier Solar - 01 - Loading is 3.5 s long and has a 3.2 s loop.
|Posted: Thu Nov 24, 2011 5:49 pm
Oh, and one more thing - you can always try contacting the Hoot developers for the source - they did share it with RBelmont from M1 for instance.
It can already log S98 data, so if you volunteer to add proper VGM logs, I guess they would share it with you - they do seem like a really nice bunch.
Would be nice to have that there too, since Hoot plays pretty much every arcade game M1 does, loads (in the range of thousands) of games from Japanese PCs and at least few dozen Genesis games.
|Posted: Sat Dec 03, 2011 12:19 pm
OKIM6295 support for M1 is finished, but I have difficulties to get proper logs of Battle Garrega.
That's because the game uses a non-standard method to do advanced bank-switching (to play more different sample at the same time) and I still have to find a way to make proper vgm logs.
According to the MAME source, affected games are bgaregga, batrider, pwrinst2, raphero, macross2, powerins. (and maybe some games with the same hardware)
|Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2011 7:40 pm
I think that ValleyBell needs to update M1 to add support to some other chips (i.e. uPD7759).
Also, when I read the .h of Konami soundchips, all of them (with exception of K056800) is a 8-bit soundchips. K056800 needs 16-bit and some 32-bit tasks...
|Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2011 5:45 pm
I may post here a update with MAME/MESS VGM Mods (ValleyBell seens to forget to announce here).
The most important adittion was HuC6280 PSG and Konami chip that is used in System GX (i forget). And now was added support of dual-chip in chips that is implemented in v1.61. Go to vgm.mdscene.net/forums to check more updates!
|Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2011 7:30 pm
|I don't think he forgot... I assumed that the whole point of creating a separate website was to remove the non-Sega 8-bit discussion from here, as it is off-topic.
|Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2011 8:55 pm
You're 100% right.
All future discussion of non Sega 8-bit VGMs (ripping, emulation, etc.) should go to http://vgm.mdscene.net.
|Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2012 2:49 pm
hello guys !
for the new year, I offer my best wishes to all the people who come here...
ValleyBell, I just wanted to tell you that the encoder( ADPCM-B) worked great on neogeo Hard (AES system) ... thank you very much for all, man !
On Youtube, you can find a video : just search for : xcelfr / and select -> 'son neogeo' ... that all (CeL is a friend of mine)
2012 start very well , I think ...
Bye, Fred/FRONT!

Somewhat off-topic but is there decent PC98 emulator with VGM logging? I use dev builds of Neko Project now but they only support S98.
P.S. Or there is tool for S98->VGM conversion?
|Posted: Fri Feb 10, 2012 7:02 pm
PC98 emulator with VGM logging? There's none I know of. And I think should know if there is one.
About S98->VGM: I don't know of a tool either.
I may look at it when I have more time. (read: later this month)
btw: Actually this should (now) go to http://vgm.mdscene.net.
|Posted: Sat Feb 11, 2012 2:07 am
Forum seems to be offline, is that normal?
|Posted: Sat Feb 11, 2012 9:53 am
No, it's not normal. It went offline just a few minutes before I posted.
I hope Oerg866 soon gets his server running again.
EDIT: It works now.
