Cynthia Fisher · Counting the (missing) nouns: Learning verb argument structure from dialogue
Linguistics Colloquium
To learn the words and the grammar of their native language, children must analyze sentences into their constituent parts, and work out how the composition and arrangement of these constituents convey 'who does what to whom'. Traditional accounts assume that children solve this problem largely because they can infer the meanings of input sentences. In contrast, the syntactic-bootstrapping account proposes that children use partial knowledge of syntax to guide early sentence interpretation. My colleagues and I have explored the origins of syntactic bootstrapping, asking how infants could find aspects of syntactic structure meaningful, even before learning much about their native language's syntax. On our account, children begin with an unlearned bias toward one-to-one mapping between nouns in sentences and participant-roles in events. In this talk, I will briefly summarize our account and then discuss stern challenges that are posed by the complexity and ambiguity of ordinary sentences. For example, in many languages, such as Korean or Japanese, verbs' arguments are often missing, making it puzzling how children learn each verb's argument structure from such data. I will present new evidence that sheds light on how learners solve this problem. Specifically, I will argue that children integrate probabilistic distributional learning and an expectation of discourse continuity to estimate the intended structure of input sentences, thereby working out their constituent parts.

Bumble And Bumble Classic Hairspray
This is a classic hairspray that should be sitting on every girl's dressing table. It's a really controlling substance that you can use on hair that is living large or even just for taming those straying manes. Unlike your regular supermarket hairspray that leaves your hair so crispy and knotted that you have to stand for half an hour trying to brush it out, this hair lacquer brushes out easily.
It comes out in a fine mist and will leave no residue or that horrible flakiness you get with some hairsprays and can be used on all hair types for a strong hold. Available from the Bumble and bumble website it costs £15 – a bit expensive for such a small can of hairspray but if it's going to hold your hair style all night then it's totally worth it.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — A local man was rewarded for helping those in need.
On Sunday, Rice Toyota in Greensboro announced the winner of a 2019 Toyota Camry.
Anyone who donated a $100 or more during United Way of Greater Greensboro's 2018 annual campaign qualified for the drawing to win the car.
Six finalists came out to the dealership on Battleground Avenue on Sunday. The person who picked the right key, won the car.
Larry Moehlman took home the prize valued at up to $19,000.
"My feet don't even feel like they are touching the ground," Moehlman said after finding out he won.
Moehlman works at ITG Brands. He has been giving to United Way for 25 years.
"I like helping people and I kind of struggled a little bit in my earlier years and I know what it's like to need," Moehlman said.
Michelle Gethers-Clark, the president and CEO of United Way of Greater Greensboro, says the giveaway encouraged more donations.
"We anticipate that we will raise more than $10 million," said Gethers-Clark.
The drawing also generated at lot of buzz, letting more people know about United Way's efforts to end poverty in our community.
"We bundle services, sequence them so that people can get the education they need in their household, and get their basic needs met," Gethers-Clark said. "Moreover, get a job so they can earn a living and become financially stable."
"We really like to hear how it impacts families in the community, more so than the dollars raised, that is something that is really big for us here at Rice Toyota" said Andy Slaughter, the general sales manager at Rice Toyota. "We just like to give back to the community."

Most everything we do at Christmas time is a Christmas tradition. One of them of course is making Christmas cookies. I have done this for a crazy number of years first with my kids and now with my grands. This is the first year in our new house though. I have a nice huge island and I designed it that way for such occassions as this....lots of room for lots of cookie making. Lily and Isaiah liked making them the best. Noah and Jonah weren't all that interested. Oh well, they were sure interested in eating them.
Not sure how sanitary it was with the little ones sitting on the island but we won't think about that.

There have been a number of developments in relation to air quality since our blog post last week:
- Revision of the National Emissions Ceilings Directive was agreed at EU level.
- The Committee on Climate Change queried the Government's ability to meet future carbon targets if the Heathrow expansion is allowed to proceed.
- Courts have given the Government 8 months to produce a new national air quality plan.

"Tell the chef, the beer is on me."
In 1905 Mark Twain wrestled with the sort of request that many readers here have undoubtedly encountered: a new writer with the most tenuous of connections (her uncle was briefly a neighbor in a Nevada mining town) asks Twain to use his influence to get her manuscript published.
It never hurts to carry an introduction from a well-regarded intermediary, as long as your introducer can actually speak to the quality of your work. I think of Twain's anguished reply every time I'm asked to recommend someone or something I don't know — or am tempted to ask the same favor of someone else.
Twain's message is ultimately optimistic: don't simply try to accumulate influence. Instead, come up with a good idea and sell it on its merits. The world will listen.
The full text of Twain's essay is below, via Project Gutenberg.
Once or twice a year I get a letter of a certain pattern, a pattern that never materially changes, in form and substance, yet I cannot get used to that letter—it always astonishes me. It affects me as the locomotive always affects me: I saw to myself, "I have seen you a thousand times, you always look the same way, yet you are always a wonder, and you are always impossible; to contrive you is clearly beyond human genius—you can't exist, you don't exist, yet here you are!"
I have a letter of that kind by me, a very old one. I yearn to print it, and where is the harm? The writer of it is dead years ago, no doubt, and if I conceal her name and address—her this-world address—I am sure her shade will not mind. And with it I wish to print the answer which I wrote at the time but probably did not send. If it went—which is not likely—it went in the form of a copy, for I find the original still here, pigeonholed with the said letter. To that kind of letters we all write answers which we do not send, fearing to hurt where we have no desire to hurt; I have done it many a time, and this is doubtless a case of the sort.
X———, California, JUNE 3, 1879.
Mr. S. L. Clemens, Hartford, Conn.:
Dear Sir,—You will doubtless be surprised to know who has presumed to write and ask a favor of you. Let your memory go back to your days in the Humboldt mines—'62-'63. You will remember, you and Clagett and Oliver and the old blacksmith Tillou lived in a lean-to which was half-way up the gulch, and there were six log cabins in the camp—strung pretty well separated up the gulch from its mouth at the desert to where the last claim was, at the divide. The lean-to you lived in was the one with a canvas roof that the cow fell down through one night, as told about by you in Roughing It—my uncle Simmons remembers it very well. He lived in the principal cabin, half-way up the divide, along with Dixon and Parker and Smith. It had two rooms, one for kitchen and the other for bunks, and was the only one that had. You and your party were there on the great night, the time they had dried-apple-pie, Uncle Simmons often speaks of it. It seems curious that dried-apple-pie should have seemed such a great thing, but it was, and it shows how far Humboldt was out of the world and difficult to get to, and how slim the regular bill of fare was. Sixteen years ago—it is a long time. I was a little girl then, only fourteen. I never saw you, I lived in Washoe. But Uncle Simmons ran across you every now and then, all during those weeks that you and party were there working your claim which was like the rest. The camp played out long and long ago, there wasn't silver enough in it to make a button. You never saw my husband, but he was there after you left, and lived in that very lean-to, a bachelor then but married to me now. He often wishes there had been a photographer there in those days, he would have taken the lean-to. He got hurt in the old Hal Clayton claim that was abandoned like the others, putting in a blast and not climbing out quick enough, though he scrambled the best he could. It landed him clear down on the train and hit a Piute. For weeks they thought he would not get over it but he did, and is all right, now. Has been ever since. This is a long introduction but it is the only way I can make myself known. The favor I ask I feel assured your generous heart will grant: Give me some advice about a book I have written. I do not claim anything for it only it is mostly true and as interesting as most of the books of the times. I am unknown in the literary world and you know what that means unless one has some one of influence (like yourself) to help you by speaking a good word for you. I would like to place the book on royalty basis plan with any one you would suggest.
This is a secret from my husband and family. I intend it as a surprise in case I get it published.
Feeling you will take an interest in this and if possible write me a letter to some publisher, or, better still, if you could see them for me and then let me hear.
I appeal to you to grant me this favor. With deepest gratitude I think you for your attention.
One knows, without inquiring, that the twin of that embarrassing letter is forever and ever flying in this and that and the other direction across the continent in the mails, daily, nightly, hourly, unceasingly, unrestingly. It goes to every well-known merchant, and railway official, and manufacturer, and capitalist, and Mayor, and Congressman, and Governor, and editor, and publisher, and author, and broker, and banker—in a word, to every person who is supposed to have "influence." It always follows the one pattern: "You do not know me, but you once knew a relative of mine," etc., etc. We should all like to help the applicants, we should all be glad to do it, we should all like to return the sort of answer that is desired, but—Well, there is not a thing we can do that would be a help, for not in any instance does that letter ever come from anyone who can be helped. The struggler whom you could help does his own helping; it would not occur to him to apply to you, stranger. He has talent and knows it, and he goes into his fight eagerly and with energy and determination—all alone, preferring to be alone. That pathetic letter which comes to you from the incapable, the unhelpable—how do you who are familiar with it answer it? What do you find to say? You do not want to inflict a wound; you hunt ways to avoid that. What do you find? How do you get out of your hard place with a contend conscience? Do you try to explain? The old reply of mine to such a letter shows that I tried that once. Was I satisfied with the result? Possibly; and possibly not; probably not; almost certainly not. I have long ago forgotten all about it. But, anyway, I append my effort:
I know Mr. H., and I will go to him, dear madam, if upon reflection you find you still desire it. There will be a conversation. I know the form it will take. It will be like this:
MR. H. How do her books strike you?
MR. CLEMENS. I am not acquainted with them.
H. Who has been her publisher?
C. I don't know.
H. She has one, I suppose?
C. I—I think not.
H. Ah. You think this is her first book?
C. Yes—I suppose so. I think so.
H. What is it about? What is the character of it?
C. I believe I do not know.
H. Have you seen it?
C. Well—no, I haven't.
H. Ah-h. How long have you known her?
C. I don't know her.
H. Don't know her?
C. No.
H. Ah-h. How did you come to be interested in her book, then?
C. Well, she—she wrote and asked me to find a publisher for her, and mentioned you.
H. Why should she apply to you instead of me?
C. She wished me to use my influence.
H. Dear me, what has influence to do with such a matter?
C. Well, I think she thought you would be more likely to examine her book if you were
H. Why, what we are here for is to examine books—anybody's book that comes along. It's our business. Why should we turn away a book unexamined because it's a stranger's? It would be foolish. No publisher does it. On what ground did she request your influence, since you do not know her? She must have thought you knew her literature and could speak for it. Is that it?
C. No; she knew I didn't.
H. Well, what then? She had a reason of some sort for believing you competent to recommend her literature, and also under obligations to do it?
C. Yes, I—I knew her uncle.
H. Knew her uncle?
C. Yes.
H. Upon my word! So, you knew her uncle; her uncle knows her literature; he endorses it to you;
the chain is complete, nothing further needed; you are satisfied, and therefore—
C. No, that isn't all, there are other ties. I know the cabin her uncle lived in, in the mines; I knew his partners, too; also I came near knowing her husband before she married him, and I did know the abandoned shaft where a premature blast went off and he went flying through the air and clear down to the trail and hit an Indian in the back with almost fatal consequences.
H. To him, or to the Indian?
C. She didn't say which it was.
H. (With a sigh). It certainly beats the band! You don't know her, you don't know her literature, you don't know who got hurt when the blast went off, you don't know a single thing for us to build an estimate of her book upon, so far as I—
C. I knew her uncle. You are forgetting her uncle.
H. Oh, what use is he? Did you know him long? How long was it?
C. Well, I don't know that I really knew him, but I must have met him, anyway. I think it was that way; you can't tell about these things, you know, except when they are recent.
H. Recent? When was all this?
C. Sixteen years ago.
H. What a basis to judge a book upon! As first you said you knew him, and now you don't know whether you did or not.
C. Oh yes, I know him; anyway, I think I thought I did; I'm perfectly certain of it.
H. What makes you think you thought you knew him?
C. Why, she says I did, herself.
H. She says so!
C. Yes, she does, and I did know him, too, though I don't remember it now.
H. Come—how can you know it when you don't remember it.
C. I don't know. That is, I don't know the process, but I do know lots of things that I don't remember, and remember lots of things that I don't know. It's so with every educated person.
H. (After a pause). Is your time valuable?
C. No—well, not very.
H. Mine is.
So I came away then, because he was looking tired. Overwork, I reckon; I never do that; I have seen the evil effects of it. My mother was always afraid I would overwork myself, but I never did.
Dear madam, you see how it would happen if I went there. He would ask me those questions, and I would try to answer them to suit him, and he would hunt me here and there and yonder and get me embarrassed more and more all the time, and at last he would look tired on account of overwork, and there it would end and nothing done. I wish I could be useful to you, but, you see, they do not care for uncles or any of those things; it doesn't move them, it doesn't have the least effect, they don't care for anything but the literature itself, and they as good as despise influence. But they do care for books, and are eager to get them and examine them, no matter whence they come, nor from whose pen. If you will send yours to a publisher—any publisher—he will certainly examine it, I can assure you of that.
I work for a very large company and at some point or another someone started a Yammer account based on our email domain. Starting on whatever day that was, Yammer commenced its viral expansion and its spread has really been quite impressive and rapid. Last time I looked we were approaching 3000 users.
The usage demonstrates all the free-scaling behaviors you'd expect though, so not everyone is yammering away. Still both the growth and the impact have been impressive. We are developing a nice network of the kind of weak connections that tend to "small world" a big enterprise like ours. It's always difficult to quantify the benefits of "soft" collaboration but I'm really happy with what I see and I've personally enjoyed the interactions and my expanded network.
I think Yammer has done so well because it's a really good product with well thought out features that make Twitter seem kinda retro. It has a nice slick interface, threaded conversations, and no pesky 140 char limit (which is countered by a "return key = submit" that inhibits multi-paragraph posts). They are also working to create the kinds of features that enterprises need to feel comfy: an api that includes directory integration, an Outlook module and etc.
However, despite all that, I'm bummed to say I don't think they are going to make it.
The question of data privacy and ownership comes up over and over in our Yammer discussions. The last time it came up the thread ran for nearly 100 responses. Even though the typical post is something like "Who is using Grails?" or "Is the X application slow for everyone today or just for me?" data privacy is simply one of the biggest concerns going for a lot of companies these days. The mere suggestion that our data isn't under our control is a big deal.
This point was demonstrated to me in a personal and compelling way during my first week on Yammer. I mentioned a client meeting so that I could share a few tidbits with colleagues. Hours later I was surprised and dismayed when a Google search revealed that my comments had been re-posted to the friendfeed of someone I didn't even know. Someone on our network had written a quick and dirty app to follow his Yammer RSS feed and re-post everything to friendfeed. Then for good measure he followed everyone in our network. When I "politely suggested" he take it down he equally politely explained to me that I just didn't get Web 2.0.
Despite that kind of hiccup, I don't think data privacy is the death knell. After all, no one has told us to stop using it yet. The real problem is that Yammer thinks viral works the same way in the enterprise that it works on the web. It doesn't.
Yammer, by being free and viral, is demonstrating in that soft benefit kind of way to lots of enterprises like ours that networks of weak connections and "ambient collaboration" are useful. Usage is creating a pool of users and even executives that "get it." But they are playing their cards too early and are probably going end up as little more than a contribution to someone else's cost of sales.
Recently a thread started with "does anyone know how to remove people from Yammer that left the company?" Well, it turns out that's an admin function and only available to paying customers.
While we have grown rapidly and virally, the "admin issue" is coming to a head with only about 1% of the company holding an account and probably more like .1% actively posting. There is no way this is going to be a level of usage that an enterprise like ours sees as lock-in. And it won't for anyone else's either.
If the average company has an attrition rate of 10% it means that EVERY company that adopts Yammer virally is going to start to have this conversation well before adoption has locked them in. Every company will face the problem of removing ex-employees by the time they reach relatively low penetration rates. If it's a 25 person shop it may be easier to just pay the $3/employee per month than worry about it, but for any reasonably sized enterprise this is going to force an off-budget-cycle decision that involves real dollars before adoption has locked them in.
The other problem with viral adoption as a strategy is this: I may love using Yammer, but I'm not Yammer's customer, our IT department is. And they already have SharePoint. What Yammer doesn't understand, and what Microsoft has known for years, is that IT makes these decisions, not the users.
While Yammer is going viral with users out at the edge, Microsoft perfected its S1P1 virus to attack the very core of the IT enterprise. So, when it comes to enterprise microblogging, The Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) and its various add ons may be mediocrity in code form, but it's already there. And being there counts.
"Tell the chef, the beer is on me."
"Basically the price of a night on the town!"
"I'd love to help kickstart continued development! And 0 EUR/month really does make fiscal sense too...

Photo: Cemore Donald running in the High School Girls 4x800m relay for Edwin Allen on Day 1 of the Penn Relay on Thursday.
Excelsior High's standout athlete, Shanice Love created a major upset at the Frankfield Stadium, when she produced another massive throw of 54.72m to cop the High School Girls Discus Title in a new Penn Relays Record. Her mark surpassed Gleneve Grange's (formerly of Holmwood Tech) 2013 mark of 54.29m.
Second place went to topped ranked USA athlete Elena Bruckner with a best distance of 54.44m. Hydel's Devia Brown finished third with 48.34m. The other Jamaican athlete in the field, Shyleeden Smith of Petersfield High, finished fifteenth with 41.37m.
In the college women section, Isheka Binns of UWI Mona was second with 50.86m, with teammate Venique Harris fifth with 48.08M. The event was won by Florida State's Sasha Lebert 51.44m.
St Jago's Tissana Hickling made amends for what was a disappointing opening day on the track for her team by winning the High school girls Long Jump Championship Finals with 5.86m.
"It was not great weather to compete in, but I was able to stay focused and win my event. My mother and my coach were my motivations for this win today," Hickling quoted as saying by Penns Relay reporters.
Taishia Pryce St. Andrew Tech 5.46m, Annia Ashley Edwin Allen 5.46m, Telecia Briscoe Edwin Allen 5.35m and Monief Heslop Camperdown 5.12m finished in fourth, fifth, eight and fourteenth respectively.
Jessica Noble, representing the University of Technology, had an effort of 5.41m which was only good enough for 10th place in the College Women's Long Jump Championship final.
In the Girls Triple Jump Championship final, St Jago's Jodian Petrie leapt 11.97m for second behind winner Veronika Karpenko State College 12.02m. Hydel's Samara Spencer Catherine, was fifth best with 11.86m.
In the Girls Shot put Finals, St Jago's Janell Fullerton threw 14.19 for fourth place, behind winner Alyssa Wilson of Donavan Catholic with 15.71m. Excelsior pair of Latavia Smith 13.39m and Tavia Dixon 12.50m were fifth and fourteenth respectively. Immaculate's Kadian Clarke was 18th best with 11.47m.
Utech's Geneva Greaves did 14.47m for fourth in the College women's Shot Put final.
The early morning track action saw Edwin Allen's Shannon Kalawan finishing second in the High School girls 400m hurdles with a time of 58.80 seconds. The event was won by Anna Cockrell of Providence Day in 57.38seconds. St Andrews Tech Linesha Thompson was 17th 1:06.26 seconds.
In the College Women section UWI Mona's Rushell Clayton was third best overall with 57.01 seconds. UTech's Candice McLeod finished her race in second with 1:01.89 to finished sixteenth overall.
It was a good day for Holmwood Technical and Edwin Allen High with all three of their teams advancing to the 4x 800m, 4x400m and 4x100m Championship of America finals.
Holmwood Technical was fastest in the sprint relays with 45.64 seconds to win their heat. Edwin Allen also won their heat in 45.79 seconds. Excelsior High 46.55 seconds, Green Island 47.18 seconds, and St Catherine 47.08 seconds all made progress to the Championship Final.
St Jago high suffered a mishap on the third baton exchange and finished at the back of the field in 1:06.80 seconds.
In the College women event, GC Foster, UTech and UWI were all no shows for that event.
Holmwood Technical ran 9:15.15 seconds to finished second to Penn Wood 9:12.07 seconds, in heat one of the 4x800m relay. Vere Technical's 9:19.89 seconds and Spalding High's 9:24.86 seconds finished first and second respectively in heat two, but both failed to advance to the Championship of America Final.
Edwin Allen produced 9:12.65 to finish third in their heat, but advanced as the fastest Jamaican team to the final. Western Branch and Shenendowa were the fastest qualifiers with 9:10. 39 seconds and 9: 11.03 seconds respectively.
The 4x400m relays Championship of American final for High school will feature Holmwood Technical who won their heat with the second fastest time of 3:46.58 seconds. Bullis School was the top qualifier in 3:46.31 seconds.
Edwin Allen also made progress by winning their heat in 3:48.07 seconds. St Elizabeth Technical had to dig deep to finish third in their heat in 3:50.19 seconds and barely made it into the finals.
In the College women division UTech made progress to that final in 3:37.79 seconds. UWI Mona was however outside the top eight, finishing 23rd overall with 3:50.66 seconds. The top team from qualifying was Oregon with 3:36.66 seconds.
The championship of American relays finals for females will take place tomorrow and the males will take to the track for their qualifying events.

21st Century Fox Enhances its Security with Okta MFA
people using full, Adaptive MFA every month
people using SMS, Okta Verify, or Okta Verify Push every month
extended partners can working with Fox at any given time
Security sold separately
Mass media corporation 21st Century Fox works with a large network of partners and employees to create its industry leading content. To protect that content, it took a close look at its IT infrastructure in order to strengthen authorization for its widespread workforce with a unified security platform.
An inside job
For most organizations, it's almost impossible to keep determined attackers from penetrating their perimeter-based security. 21st Century Fox realized that the key to preventing attackers from reaching sensitive data was to take a new zero trust approach to security. The Okta Identity Cloud fit the bill, with Okta Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication playing a starring role.
Standardized protection, flexible options
Adaptive MFA allowed 21st Century Fox to standardize the authentication process for all employees and contractors—whether they're working in the office, at home, or on the road. The company is also able to consider each user access request based on the context of the user, app, device, location, and network. Allowing people to choose from a wide range of authentication factors made it easy for everyone.
Learning to love it
Training videos, workshops, and other marketing tools eased the transition process for users. Now, employees and contractors are able to access the tools they need—in a way that works for them. The result? The perfect combination of convenience and security.
We're trying to migrate all the options we have in the Duo infrastructure over to Okta Verify. We've been using Okta MFA for almost a year now, and so far so good. It's been great for us.Kevin DaCosta, Executive Director for Systems Integration at Fox Entertainment Group
- 50,000 users enrolled with Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication
- 40,000 people using MFA every month
- Fast, secure, authenticated access to systems, data, and content
- Works across all employees, third parties, integrations, and devices
- A sensible, unified approach to systems security
A push to protect
One of the greatest challenges for modern media organizations is balancing vast global reach with technology that protects vital assets: information and content. 21st Century Fox is one of the biggest media companies in the world, with broadcast networks, web properties, production facilities, film studios, and offices around the globe.
Every integration with producers, networks, and distributors needs rigorous controls with the same reliable—but light-touch—authentication methods. With data breaches and hacks making headlines, there's no room for complacency. Kevin DaCosta, executive director for systems integration at Fox Entertainment Group explains, "One of the other [non-Fox] studios got hacked, and that was a wake-up call. It helped us drive more security awareness across the business at the highest level." Of course, work still needs to get done, so keeping workflows fast, easy, and accessible was mandatory.
Around the same time, 21st Century Fox hired a new chief information security officer, Melody Hildebrandt. After assessing the company's perimeter-based security infrastructure, she directed DaCosta and his team to work on designing new zero trust infrastructure. To Hildebrandt, it seemed obvious that this was the best way to create a consistent, enjoyable user experience, and reduce the likelihood and impact of data breaches. "She came in with a core set of tools that she wanted to deploy across all of the businesses," says DaCosta. "The best way to achieve that goal was for everybody to be in the same environment."
Implementing zero-trust security
Like most technology experts, DaCosta understands that all organizations are vulnerable to data breaches. So it was natural to think seriously about how to eliminate or at least significantly reduce the damage of an attack if they successfully breached the system.
21st Century Fox had all the traditional security measures in place, including antivirus software, firewalls, and Splunk. The IT team boosted system security by focusing on internal and external defense. It created layered systems and moats around critical data. It combined stronger security with new response approaches, rapid reaction models, and end-to-end monitoring.
The organization was also using a full range of Okta identity solutions to make user provisioning simple and seamless across internal and external teams, and to simplify its complex security environment. 21st Century Fox was also using Duo Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), but when it realized it could simply expand Okta's footprint, it started to phase out Duo. "We've expanded the Okta MFA offering so now it does some of the things that Duo used to do," says DaCosta. "For example, it can instrument different servers for our RDP access and direct interactive login."
Intelligent, seamless security
Okta's Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) goes a step further than standard MFA by considering context like location or app sensitivity, and responding accordingly. For example, if a contractor or employee logs in from an unusual location or an unrecognized device, Adaptive MFA may require the user to authenticate through a second factor before granting access.
With its broad and deep integrations with systems, apps, and third parties, Adaptive MFA is an ideal replacement for Duo. And Okta's ease of use made it a powerful solution to 21st Century Fox's need for a truly-unified identity and authentication platform.
Okta MFA was the control plane where we could have the most consistency, and where we could also reduce the friction for our users," says Melody Hildebrandt, Global CISO at 21st Century Fox. "So it actually accomplished a security goal, which was to make sure that the policy was enforced in the way that we had designed it, and it also accomplished an enterprise technology goal, which was to give our users technology that delights them and doesn't have excessive friction."
After the organization onboarded its users and apps, it enabled the solution. The rollout process was heavily informed by admin reporting and this same reporting was used to ensure that all users were given the right level of access, and that they were able to log into the right systems. The product also supports application-level authentication, giving 21st Century Fox a clear view into how its resources are being used, and by whom. Then, if IT notices any suspicious activity, it's able to block access quickly and effectively.
A consistent approach
Whenever an organization introduces enterprise-wide changes like Adaptive MFA, consistency is vital. A clear, consistent approach to something as important as security needs to be simple and easy for employees to learn and use—wherever they are. Implementing several different security policies, practices, logins, accesses, or technologies at once creates confusion, increases support overheads, adds to staff frustration, and ultimately threatens IT security.
Christian Sosa, associate director of cloud and SaaS at 20th Century Fox, understands the benefits of consistency. "Collaboration across all business units is something that's new for us," he says. "We're now deploying all these technologies throughout all the business units. Okta provides the authentication and identity for everyone. We are now managing a global infrastructure of services."
We're now deploying all these technologies throughout all the business units. Okta provides the authentication and identity for everyone. We are now managing a global infrastructure of services.
Sosa knew that a consistent experience across devices was equally important. Okta's Adaptive MFA meant that everything looked the same no matter how an employee or third party accessed Fox systems. This created a consistent user experience, so employees never had to re-learn the security system.
MFA was a must for everyone who needed to access Fox systems—employees, vendors, contractors, and other third parties. Fox was able to customize security and MFA rules depending on who needed access and the systems they wanted to log into. If an associated company wanted to access non-confidential, public information, there's no need for MFA.
For more secure environments, Adaptive MFA could understand user contexts and tailor authentication requirements accordingly. The change was supported by education, with videos, training sessions, support guides, and other documentation.
A flexible access experience
Many people see systems security as an inconvenience, and DaCosta wanted to change that. He and Sosa knew that if they wanted to get good buy-in across the organization, they had to be able to give employees options so they could authenticate themselves in a way that worked for them. Although many people were familiar with MFA, being able to customize how they accessed the system would make it faster and easier to use.
Okta solves this challenge by providing multiple authentication options within a consistent Adaptive MFA framework. Fox got the robust, cost-effective, low-overhead authentication it needed and employees got MFA that could adapt to their needs.
DaCosta explains, "We gave users the ability to choose their own benefits. We have Okta Verify, Okta Verify with Push, and we have SMS capability. We even added U2F USB tokens for people who didn't have phones or didn't want SMS charges. Ultimately, we tried to please everybody, depending on their own capabilities and wishes."
As an added bonus, Okta's Adaptive MFA and Single Sign-On (SSO) work hand in hand. An employee can enter their authentication credentials once at the beginning of the day, and SSO will seamlessly log them into any application they need to access. This type of unified, complete identity stack made things simpler and easier for both Fox employees and IT support.
Global access, happy users
21st Century Fox put a lot of effort into beefing up its security, and all that work is paying off. With 50,000 users enrolled with Adaptive MFA and 40,000 people using it every month, the advantages are obvious:
- Fast, secure, authenticated access to systems, data, and content
- Works across all employees, third parties, integrations, and devices
- A sensible, unified approach to systems security
- Customization options to increase buy-in and help employees
Okta was able to give the organization everything it needed: a unified identity and authorization platform that balances stronger security, and enough customization to ensure employee buy-in and support.
Now that's something we can all appreciate.

This year marks the 17th year of the Sussex Heritage Trust Awards, an achievement which has been met with delight by all involved. In fact, the amount of entries for this year's awards increased considerably on previous years, with a range of high quality schemes all being put forward for a much coveted award.
The annual Sussex Heritage Trust Awards programme is the only scheme of its kind, operating throughout the whole of East and West Sussex. As with previous years, entries for the 2015 Awards were open to owners, surveyors, contractors, architects and societies, as well as anyone involved in restoration and construction works, and the level of competition was very strong.
In total there were eight award categories, with winners receiving hand crafted slate plaques that will be attached to each award-winning building. The judging team included a Sussex Heritage Trust Trustee, as well as a professional from the appropriate field and a 'lay person' who provided a balanced view on each scheme.
Chairman of the Sussex Heritage Trust Awards, Dr John Godfrey DL, said:
"We were delighted with the number of entries for this year's Sussex Heritage Trust Awards. We hope that this is indicative of the forecast upward economic trend nationally and that it signals the emerging recovery of the construction industry, following the 2008 financial crisis."
Winners of this year's Sussex Heritage Trust Awards were announced on Thursday 9th July 2015 at 12:30pm. The event took place at Pangdean Old Barn, in Pyecombe, with awards presented by the President of the Sussex Heritage Trust, the Rt Hon Lord Egremont DL.
One of this year's winners was Folkington Manor, a project which picked up recognition in the category of Small Scale Residential – an award sponsored by The Hans & Marit Rausing Charitable Trust.
The Folkington Manor project was submitted by A & F Pilbeam Construction Ltd of Brighton, a well-established building contractor with vast experience working within the local community. Established in 1955, A & F Pilbeam Construction Ltd has worked on a range of heritage projects, including St John the Evangelist in Brighton and St Mary Magdalene Church in Lyminster.
Restoration work on the Folkington Manor project included an array of internal, external and redecoration works to the site's Manor Cottage, Flint Rooms and East Lodge, ranging from the replacement of windows and roofing, to plastering and joinery work. Specialist cleaning and lime repointing was carried out and a dual oil and wood-chip biomass boiler system was installed.
An extension to the Manor House formed part of the restoration project, providing the manor with an open plan kitchen/breakfast room, as well as a separate annex. To complete the project, a range of new technological services were installed, including telecommunications and an efficient heating system.
Andrew Mitchell MCIOB for A & F Pilbeam Construction Ltd was the construction manager on Folkington Manor, whilst Justin Smith of A & F Pilbeam Construction Ltd was a craftsman on the project and Matt Brown BSc was the site manager. Mackellar Schwerdt Architects was the architect on the project.
Situated in Folkington, Folkington Manor was designed by architect William John Donthorne for Thomas Sheppard in 1843. The manor sits in 85 acres of parkland and is surrounded by lawns, trees and wildlife.
In the years since its construction, the manor has changed hands, being sold to engineer and antiquary James Gwynne in 1915 and Ronald Stacy-Marks in 1968. Upon its purchase by Ronald Stacy-Marks, the manor underwent an initial restoration which took place after the property had been empty for five years.
In autumn 2010, Folkington Manor was purchased by the Brünjes family and shortly after, work on the award-winning restoration project commenced. The work was implemented to return the manor to its former glory, ensuring the site's unique history could be preserved, whilst at the same time giving it a new lease of life.
Folkington Manor plays host to some of the most unique events in Sussex so the restoration project has ensured that the manor can continue to cater for events ranging from summer fêtes through to antiques fairs, equestrian events and weddings. Recent events at the manor have included Musicals At The Manor, the play Dial Medicine For Murder and a terrific summer concert which was hosted by comedian Alexander Armstrong and featured the vocal talents of baritone Jonathan Veira.

by Karine Goh
Today is the 3rd time we went for kite-flying at West Coast Park, thanks to my brother-in-law, Tim who made us a kite when he came to Singapore with May & Aren last month.
My husband, Terry & I decided to try if the kite "can fly high" when we woke up to a breezy morning three weeks ago. We went to West Coast Park as we heard that it is a popular place for kite-flying. There is a big field at the park but it was quite crowded with people playing baseball. We saw two kites in the sky though not very high up.
We found a good spot which is less crowded. Terry asked me to hold on & position the kite and released it when he told me to. We were quite lucky, the wind was strong & it took just a couple of minutes the kite went up to the sky. I was so excited to see the kite went higher & higher. When I tried to take a picture, it has gone really high up & could only see a tiny dot in the sky. Terry told me it could have gone even higher but the string is not long enough, he even need to hold on tightly in case the kite "gone with the wind". When my turn came, the wind die-down, the kite came down slowly and it did not go up again. What a pity! We spent about an hour. I can't wait to tell Tim & May that the kite CAN FLY REALLY HIGH!
Last week I got a chance to fly the kite "all by myself" and Terry took a few pictures to show Tim & May. The wind was not strong enough, so the kite did not go high but just stayed at a height of a tall tree. Then the sky getting darker & started drizzle, we packed up & went home with disappointment.
It was very sunny this morning. We went to the same place and same spot. There were two young children flying kites in the shape of butterfly & bird. Another two families also tried to fly their kites but were not successful.
The wind was strong, without much effort, the kite soon went up to the sky. It followed the direction of the wind & went out to the sea. When the wind suddenly turned weak, Terry & I got panic afraid that the kite might drop into the sea. We quickly retrieved the string thank God we managed to get the kite back in time.
Compared with other very beautiful kites, our "simple kite" flew highest & stayed longest in the sky. Tim did a great job!!
Although it was windy, the sun was too strong. We could not bear with the heat, got sun burnt. Glad that both of us had a chance to fly the kite high and steadily this time. I think my kite-flying skill improved each week, if Tim & May were here to witness it.
Kite-flying has became a weekend activity for Terry & I. We enjoy the fun & quality time together.

Braden Hancock, a junior in the Mechanical Engineering Department, has been awarded the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Kenneth Andrew Roe Scholarship. This scholarship, in the amount of $12,500, is awarded to only one student per year.
Awarded in memory of the late Kenneth Andrew Roe, former President of ASME and Chair of the ASME Foundation, the Roe Scholarship is the top ASME Foundation scholarship. For U.S. citizens and North American residents, this award is based on Scholastic ability, character, integrity, leadership, and potential contribution to the mechanical engineering profession. The award is to be used for study in the junior or senior year, and applicants must be enrolled in an ABET-accredited or substantially equivalent ME baccalaureate program in the United States.
The application required a transcript, honors and awards won, internships/work experience, personal activities and interests, professional and honors society memberships, research and publications, and an essay describing how the student is preparing for a successful career in mechanical engineering. It also required three letters of recommendation.
"I was at work, doing research in the Fletcher Building, when I saw that an email had arrived," said Hancock. "I knew exactly what the email was about when I saw who it was from. The email said, 'Congratulations, you have been selected as one of the ASME 2012-2013 Scholarship Winners. Please see the attached letter with your details.' So I thought, 'Yes! A thousand dollars! What a blessing!' Then I opened the letter. 'Congratulations on your selection as the recipient of the Kenneth Andrew Roe Scholarship in the amount of $12,500!'"
"I still have a hard time believing that I was selected," commented Hancock. "There are so many other talented and impressive engineers at BYU alone, let alone the entire U.S.! What an incredible blessing, opportunity, and investment from ASME."
Hancock is a member of ME professor Dr. Christopher Mattson's research group. He has been finishing the research for his Honors Thesis, "Direct Generation of a Smart Pareto Frontier," and will defend it in August. Most of his research has been on multiobjective optimization algorithms—how to facilitate design space exploration, and how to increase the efficiency and utility of multiobjective optimization algorithms. The work he has done this past school year was presented at the AIAA Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Conference in Hawaii in April, and will be presented at the ASME Design Engineering Technical Conference in Chicago in August. The work has also been submitted to several journals.
"Braden is incredibly talented and it's no surprise to me that he won this award," said Mattson. "He is currently working on a new optimization algorithm that I know will get a lot of attention in the optimization community. It's been a real blessing to work with Braden."

Thank you, Ven, for your patience! Same for everyone else.
I'll tell you right now, between school and work, I'm wiped. I could go into full detail and whine a lot to play up the drama but I won't. It's unfortunate but it seems as though I'll be limiting my activity for a while. No, I'm not talking about a hiatus, and I'm especially not talking about closing down the blog. For now, though, it looks like the bulk of my activity is going to take place on the weekends. I guess we take what we get, right?
If this cover oddly reminds you of Perfume's Triangle album, please comment so I won't feel all alone in the world.
Usually AAA songs make me want to dance. What I liked about Makenai Kokoro is that it keeps the dance sound to minimum and instead showcases the vocals. It showed me that this isn't purely a dance group, but that these people are actually talented singers and rappers. There was something about the way this song was performed that I liked. I think it was the way that the female singers held their notes in places. The rap was energetic and my only wish is that there had been a little more of it.
For everything I loved about Makenai Kokoro, I loved ten times more in Day by Day. It's bouncy guitar pop, more centered around the male vocals. That was a cool aspect to this single; that the females were more prominent in the first track and the males were more prominent here. It's like the flip-side of a very shiny yen coin.
WOW WAR TONIGHT ~Toki ni wa Okose yo Movement~ is a reggae-type song that I couldn't get into. It's a neat "end-of-summer" feeling set to music, but I couldn't find myself yearning for a second listen.
In Conclusion: Success! AAA did a great job with this single. I liked it much better as a whole than the last one. A nice listen!

Welcome to our new permanent exhibition!
Follow us on a journey through the past, present and future of communication. On the basis of ground-breaking inventions, curious experiences and uncommon destinies, we trace a trajectory from cuneiform tablets to smart glasses over an exhibition space of 2,500 m2. This development is illustrated in 44 islands, each devoted to a particular theme or historical event and grouped under one of four key phenomena:
ACCELERATION – Stress and time pressure affect almost every aspect of daily life. Wanting to experience more, achieve more and feel more, we pack as much as possible into our time – making it fly even faster. Acceleration has profoundly shaped the history of communication and today's digitization and mobility continue to increase the pace. Time has become the world's scarcest resource: how do we manage this development?
CONNECTEDNESS – Global connectivity began with shipping, railway and telegraphy. Today we are networked with people, data and things – on the go and in real time. The boundary with the digital world has become fluid. Does this increasing connectedness bring us closer?
GLOBAL CONTROL – Almost everything is available online and smart devices allow us access anytime and everywhere. Digitization offers boundless possibilities, but we thereby leave a trail: our data become prized commodities for businesses and governments. How can we enjoy the advantages of this digital world without relinquishing control over our personal data?
PARTICIPATION – Newspapers, radio and television inform us about current affairs. Using the internet and smartphones, we can now become active members of digital communities and share our opinions, experiences and latest news. In theory, that is. Because not everyone has the opportunity – or indeed the wish – to participate.
Global forum or digital divide? There is no pre-set circuit around the exhibition. As on the web, you can surf the islands and create your own links. Along the way you can play some games, leave us your opinion or assess your user behaviour (and even take away a few tips) at one of our many interactive stations. Highlights of the museum collection await you in the Art area, along with temporary exhibitions relevant to the four phenomena structuring the permanent display.

Amatores loci et fratrum (VII)
6 June. 6 Oct.
The eighth degree of humility is, for a monk to do nothing except what is authorised by the common rule of the monastery, or the example of his seniors.
The monk who is following Jesus along the via crucis will necessarily lose along the way the notion that he is somehow different from others, exceptional, and unlike anyone else. He does not want to be considered special in any way. The man who, because he believes that he is "not like the rest of men" (Luke 18:11), refuses to do things as his fathers and brothers do them, when they do them, and in the way they do them, is indulging a peculiar form of pride. Psychologists speak of the narcissistic personality disorder. Saint Benedict sees the same narcissistic manifestations as a vice. He also prescribes the remedy: "Do nothing except what is authorised by the common rule of the monastery, or the example of his seniors".
The brother who nourishes a secret belief in his own superiority will always find opportunities to stand out, to stand apart, to preserve the little difference that reinforces this belief. The brother who cannot give up his personal way of doing things fears that, if he starts doing everything as others do, he will cease being special, and this he finds terrifying. To such a brother the abbot must repeat Saint Benedict's injunction again and again, firmly, and with patience: "Do nothing except what is authorised by the common rule of the monastery, or the example of the seniors".
The professed must give the example of a quiet regularity. Regularity is a harbinger of peace. Over time, a monastic family adopts certain ways of doing things. In the first twenty or twenty–five years of a monastery's life, while the community is still building, and growing, and adjusting to local circumstances, there will inevitably be changes, corrections, and improvements. For this reason, it is not easy to compile a written book of customs. Here, however, we are getting to the point where a book of customs will have to be prepared, even if it will have to be revised again to correspond to the construction of new buildings (notably the oratory) and to the reconfiguration of existing spaces.
One cannot overestimate the importance of fostering regularity; by this, I do not mean a harsh regime that brooks no exceptions. I refer rather to the steady rhythm that can admit of the occasional exception and, without conceding to idiosyncrasies, accommodate the dispensations required by fluctuations in health, by changing circumstances, and by particular needs. Benedictine life is like the chant: regular and flowing, yet not without its rises and its falls, and even admitting of the occasional surprise or unexpected interval. The abbot is like the choirmaster trying to keep all together and to facilitate an intelligible rendering of the text and of its meaning.
Saint Thomas, in treating of law and custom, warns of the dangers of introducing change without due consideration for the consequences, and also sets out the criteria for dispensations:
To a certain extent, the mere change of law is of itself prejudicial to the common good: because custom avails much for the observance of laws, seeing that what is done contrary to general custom, even in slight matters, is looked upon as grave. Consequently, when a law is changed, the binding power of the law is diminished, in so far as custom is abolished. Wherefore human law should never be changed, unless, in some way or other, the common weal be compensated according to the extent of the harm done in this respect. (II:1, q. 97, art. 2)
He who is placed over a community is empowered to dispense in a human law that rests upon his authority, so that, when the law fails in its application to persons or circumstances, he may allow the precept of the law not to be observed. If however he grant this permission without any such reason, and of his mere will, he will be an unfaithful or an imprudent dispenser: unfaithful, if he has not the common good in view; imprudent, if he ignores the reasons for granting dispensations. (II:1, q. 97, art. 4)
The abbot must do everything he can to establish in the monastery the peace that comes from regularity. The pax benedictina that ought to characterise our life rests upon the balance and harmonisation of regularity, moderation, adaptation to changing circumstances, allowances for infirmities, and, in all things, charity. It may happen that the abbot himself, especially if he is older, finds himself unable to give an example of perfect observance. Like anyone else, the abbot will suffer infirmities and fatigue; these may be exacerbated by the burdens of his office. It is striking that, when one studies the history of many monasteries, one discovers that the beginnings are, more often than not, marked by infirmities and illness. In such instances, the abbot, without departing from the preservation of regularity in the observance, will need to provide his sons with an example of humility in weakness, patience in suffering, and joyful abandonment to Divine Providence.
The eighth degree of humility treats, effectively, of what Abbot Guéranger, in his fine little book for novices (On the Religious Life, available from St Michael's Abbey Press) calls "the family spirit". He wisely says:
They will never venture the least criticism of the observances, under the pretext that these are more perfect elsewhere; they will remember that they have not yet committed themselves in any way, and so are perfectly free to go wherever their fancy leads them. It it happened that some did not esteem the Order, or its spirit or its administration, they should understand straight away that they will find it impossible to develop this family spirit. It would then be a duty to withdraw, so as not to retain the externals of a life that will never gain the allegiance of their thoughts and intentions.
The monk who aspires to be an amator loci et fratrum (a lover of the place and of the brethren) will love his monastery, his abbot, his brethren, and the observances and customs that give to his monastic family its own unique physiognomy. He will walk humbly and cheerfully in the footsteps of his fathers and brothers, renouncing his subjective preferences and idiosyncracies, and drawing strength from the great cloud of witnesses, the monks of every age who, in following the common rule, attained an uncommon holiness.

The rise of Fintech organisations has been very well documented, and has given consumers faster, more transparent, and cheaper financial services than ever before.
The International Standards Organisations (ISO) has identified that for the future, companies working in this sector will require a set of defined standards to work to. Working beside financial institutions, regulators and FinTech companies, the FinTech Technical Advisory Group will provide a platform for discussion and debate. The group will seek to work with regulators to define a common set of standards, address common issues with consistency and encourage communication between groups.
The group will be made up of Stephan Wolf, Co-Chair, CEO of the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation; Nick Cliff, Co-Chair Head of emerging technology, APCA; and PJ Di Giammarino, Secretary, CEO JWG-IT Group.
PJ Di Giammarino said:
"At this important juncture where public and private sectors realise the importance of common standards for business as well as regulation, I'm delighted to be able to support this global initiative of top experts."

Telegraph Article on Pub Quizzing
Couple of points worthy of some discussion maybe -
-Marcus Berkman is quoted here, his Brain Men book being one of the best books on quizzing out there, and he states Trivial Pursuit started the quizzing boom in the 1980's. Would people who were around at the time agree with that? I am a little young to be able to comment but I am interested to know if that is the case.
-I totally agree on the issue relating to Sky Sports vs Pub Quizzes. Thinking of myself, I definitely drink more in a 2 hour quiz than if I were watching a football game. No matter who was playing. The problem I guess getting people in for the quiz in the first place.
- Funny that the "British Gas" question is mentioned. I was asked that very question in a quiz recently and totally agree with Marcus on that one. I am finding so much lazy setting, particularly in current affairs rounds, lately.
2 comments:
Trivial Pursuit was a huge factor in popularising quizzes at the time, though it is simply one chapter in an ongoing story, along with the likes of Milllionaire. I pitched a history of quizzes to my agent a few years ago. This was the proposal for the chapter on TP...ReplyDelete
SOME OF OUR SCRABBLE TILES ARE MISSING: Trivial Pursuit takes over the world
In the late 1970s in Spain a couple of Canadians were going to play Scrabble, but some of the pieces were missing, so they invented a new board game instead. It made them millionaires. Sales of the game reached around 100 million. It took quizzing into the average home, with a game board set-up familiar from Monopoly, Cluedo and Snakes and Ladders, a simple question format familiar from the sort of primary school tests a post-war generation had encountered in assessing their knowledge of geography and history and the like. The addition of questions on pop and football turned it into fun (for those odd people who didn't think school tests were in themselves fun).
The idea for the book never came to anything. I would recommend the Berkman book and also Brainiac by Ken Jennings and the history of Mastermind.
Thanks for the recommendations! I will check them outReplyDelete

In the early 2000s I was working on a series of images about Sydney at night. I knew some people who worked in Kings Cross and, because the place was in a period of transition, was encouraged by other photographers to document the area – in particular some of the people I'd gotten to know quite well.
Kings Cross for a long time was home to Sydney's red light district. When I began taking pictures there in 2004, the sex trade was on the wane due to stricter erotic nightclub regulations and what some refer to as the 'gentrification' of a place that has tended to be bohemian and wild. Alcohol, drugs and crime remain significant problems but at the core of The Cross remains a strong community that's proud of its social and cultural history. More recent State 'lockout laws' designed to reduce alcohol related violence have reduced crime in the area, however crime and alcohol-related assaults have been displaced, statistically, to other parts of the city.

- Quality of the Product
- Maintenance and Replacement
- Installation Easiness
- Cost Effective (Price/Value)
Aquasana AQ-5300R water filter did a great job in filtering some of the major contaminations in our water. However, it's capability is not as good when it comes to heavy contaminations such as well water source. It is ONLY RECOMMENDED for small family staying in the urban area. Check it out on Amazon
Aquasana is one of the
Aquasana AQ5300 Review
There are a total of 3 similar multistage filtration system that was introduced by Aquasana. One of the flagship
The AQ-5300 is a 3 stage undersink filter which is priced at just below $150. It equips with a battery operated alarm which alert when filter replacement is required. This is a nice to have feature but is not a necessary criteria when choosing a water filter.
Aquasana claims that their 3 stage filter is able to remove 68 contamination and up to 97% of chlorine and chloramines. It is certified by NSF on the effectiveness of removing harmful minerals and particles. However, some major minerals such as nickel, fluoride, barium, copper were not tested by NSF.
The main drawback is the short filtration lifespan which is half a year or 600 gallons of water. It is merely 3.3 gallons per day across 6 months which is barely enough for a family of 4.
Comparing to the reverse osmosis system, the AQ-5300R is able to do a decent job in filtering most of the harmful minerals with only 3 filters. However, the filter performance deteriorate rather quickly as compare to others which raise questions on the effectiveness.
Not suitable for well water filtration system as total dissolved solid (TDS) remains high after filtration in some water sources.
Technical Specification that you SHOULD KNOW
Below are the summarize technical specification that you should know before buying the Aquasana AQ-5300R.
- Water Pressure: 20-80 psi
- Water Temperature: 40-90 F (4-38C)
- Flow Rate : 0.5gpm

- System Dimensions: 12″w x 4.2″d x 9″h (Extremely small and light)
Tiny 3 Stage of Filtration System
The Aquasana AQ-5300R water filter comprise of 3 stages filtration system. However, it is not as fine as compared to most of the filters in town.
Stage 1: 20 micron sediment filter – It's capable of removing sand, rust, dust and other visible contamination.
Stage 2, 3: Claryum Technology Carbon Filters – Activated and catalytic carbon is capable of reducing chloride, VOC and pesticide. Using ion exchange, it is able to reduce heavy materials such as lead and mercury.
Aquasana stated that their filters are capable of removing 10X contamination compared to the leading pitcher while retaining the healthy minerals such as calsium, magnesium and potassium.
Straight Forward Installation
Installation for Aquasana AQ-5300R water filter is very straight forward and simple. Follow the steps from the manual and online video will probably take you an hour at most to finish the installation.
There are some additional tools needed if there isn't a faucet hole on the sink.
Tools Recommended for Installation
• Variable speed drill w/ 7/32" bit
• Adjustable wrench
• Measuring tape
• Bucket
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Hammer
Short Lifespan Filters & Extremely High Maintenance Cost
Aquasana AQ-5300R filters has a shorter than usual life spans as compare to it's competitions. The suggested replacement is every 6 months or 600 gallons of water.
The system will have a battery operated indicator which reminds owners on when replacement is needed. Owners can would not need to remember when is the next scheduled maintenance.
The replacement filter is extremely expensive which costs $65 for every 6 months and $130 for a year.

The Voice From Existing Owners
The Aquasana AQ-5300R water filter received mixed review from existing owners from Amazon. A summarize comments that was left by the existing owners for this water filter.
+ It takes up very little space under my sink
+ It would have been 30 minutes but I had to cut out another hole in my granite counter top.
+ Filter works beautifully, no leakage after 2 months. Water tastes great!!
– It does not filter the water as well as several other systems on the market
– The filter last only about 3 months before the flow gets intolerably slow, not six months like they say
– The taste of my water is still not so great but am sure it filters just fine
Verdict: Recommended!
Expert View:
Aquasana AQ5300 definitely is not the best choice in the market for the filtration system. Here some benefits that you might gain from this system.
- Small in Size: The size is no brainer. It saves you a lot of space under the counter in your cramp apartment.
- Lightweight: No worries on the falling off on supporting frame as the system is lightweight.
- No Wastewater: Unlike reverse osmosis system, it doesn't generate
waste waterin the process of filtration.

Australia is a continent and an island in the middle of Oceania. Australia is the largest island in the world and it dwarfs many other islands by a wide margin. Early in its history, Australia was used by the British Empire as a prison. They would send inmates and undesirables to Australia with the idea that there would be nowhere for them to go, as Australia was such a big island and it was surrounded by water. An inmate by the name of Andrew Kanga lived on Australia for 30 years until his death. He spent most of his time in Australia as a leader of a gang known as the "Rew Kanga's". This gang was known to many of the other prisoners and aboriginals as one of the most ruthless gangs in Australia, as they would spend much of their time pillaging surrounding areas for resources and pleasure.
One day, Andrew Kanga and his gang were traveling to an area deep in the outback of Australia when they came across a strange animal. One of Kanga's members wanted to kill the animal, another wanted to take it and tame it. Every member of the Kanga gang had an idea of what they wanted to do with the animal, but what they did not know was what to call it. One man said they should call it a "Long-footed megarat". Another man said they should call it a "Walking desert dog". Another man said they should call it "Jeffery". The men debated on what to call, but their sworn leader piped up and told them to stop talking. In honor of his men being so loyal to him over the years, Andrew Kanga decided to name the animal after himself. Andrew Kanga was not an honorable man. Kanga declared the animal be called a Rewkanga. His men soon mutinied against Andrew Kanga soon thereafter and killed him in the process. Their new leader decided that Rewkanga could be a good name but something was off about it. They soon decided to switch the words around, and call the animal a Kangaroo.

I feel like my story about reading will be so similar to so many people's from the same generation. It seems like the moment you get to school and you are taught how to read, there is such an emphasis on the importance of it. Will develop your vocabulary, will make you more creative, you will be able to travel with your mind…were you told something different? I was not the smartest kid so these things did not impress me. I was a conscientious kid, so for my parents' sake, I did attempt reading.
Family inheritance
I could say that I was destined to read, but before you think of arguing with me, let me explain myself. Both my parents are huge, huge readers. Not just book collectors, even though they have bought their fair share of books, but devour-ers of books. Still, I could have been different from them and not care about books. However, there is one more thing that sounds like something out of a Greek Tragedy where Destiny always wins – my name. My Surname is "Konyves" which in Hungarian means – the person with the book. What does that person do with the book? Not body building, for sure. Do you still feel like contradicting me on my destiny?:P
Boredom made me read
At this point I know for sure that I was 7, almost 8 when we'd go to my grandma's house, 2 hours away from where we'd live, where during summertime the entire family would gather. I have so many good memories from then and in May when Paul and I plan to go to Romania, I will take him to this place to show him my childhood summer ground.
Good part was that my cousins, all male at this point, were there also. Bad part was that they were of the age of partying where I was far from it. So the mornings when they were still sleeping were boring to me. Just adults talking about adult stuff – that's how I used to see it. So I remember precisely that on my summer reading list from school, I had a Hans Christian Andersen story book which used to keep me company on those boring mornings.
Change is in the air
It was still summer, so it must have been only a month apart from me reading out of boredom, when something changed absolutely everything for me reading wise. My parents had the first Harry Potter movie and we had the most amazing movie night that I remember to this day. Everything has changed, I discovered Narnia…what am I saying, even better, I discovered Hogwarts.
Then my parents bought all the Harry Potter books that were then available in Romanian – the first three, and Mum and I took turns who read them. She was a much quicker reader than I was – well, years of practice – but I was on holiday and she had to go to work so I would always catch up to where she was.
Suddenly reading became fun, and not something I had to do for school. I did it for myself, out of curiosity and the Harry Potter books did put me under their spell. A spell that is still up to this day, as at this point I have read the books twice in Romanian, once in English and I attempted reading them in Hungarian but that was a fail. Sorry, grandma!
What was your first experience with books? Are you from the Harry Potter generation? And the question that I will attempt in another post – Do you need to read to be smart?
The book-worm's outfit
Now about the outfit that I promised I will show you. Except the fact that I have a magazine in the pictures, it does make me think of reading. The silk-like shirt has the most beautiful pale ashy blue shade with moon and star signs all over. It's light and perfect for the transitional weather. I am in spring mood already, even though the weather is not…I don't know about you.
Now the jeans…let's just say that if I had them when I started reading, I would have refused to take them off. They are mom jeans, so quite easy to move in them, but the interesting and eye-catching part is actually the bows. Am I too old to wear such jeans? I would say I am not:D What do you think?
