Framingham State's award-winning independent student newspaper since 1932
Gatepost Interview: Benjamin Atchison, Math Professor
Feb 11, 2022
3 min read
By Sophia Harris
What is your educational and professional background?
I got my bachelor’s degree at Trenton State College, which is now called The College of New Jersey. It is a state school – very similar to Framingham State – it started as a teacher’s college. I got my bachelor’s in math with a minor in German and then master’s and Ph.D. at the University of Albany – State University of New York also in mathematics. And then, after getting that degree, I got a position here as an assistant professor.
What is your role at FSU and what does your job entail?
So as a professor, full-time tenure, I have teaching obligations – three courses a semester at
Framingham, and we advise students, and we also do some scholarship and some service for the University. Currently, I am the curriculum committee chair for the University Curriculum Committee. Typically, it’s two 100-level courses that we teach a semester and then one upper level course.
What made you want to become a math professor?
As an undergrad, I had a decision to make if I wanted to use my degree in the corporate world or pursue a Ph.D. At my school, a small state liberal arts college, I really admired my advisors and the professors and the lifestyle working on college campuses – it is fantastic. The other option was actuarial work and I decided at that point in time, I wasn’t ready to go that route officially. So that’s what led me to a Ph.D. program and it is what eventually led me here.
What is the best part about your job?
I would say the interactions with students, but also faculty. I think working on a college campus, especially now that I have two young children – important topics and pertinent things are brought up and discussed, whereas I think in other settings, it doesn’t happen as freely. It’s really valuable not only as an employee, but also as a father. It sort of makes me rethink how I’m raising my kids and how they’re affected by my parenting.
What are some of your personal hobbies?
My family does a lot of camping. I do as much trail running as I can. My kids are big into Perler Beads. So I joke that I do a lot of Perler Beads and a lot of ironing. I grew up in the ’80s – in the Nintendo World – so I sort of introduced my kids to that early on. We like board games as well in our household. And, I’ll participate in friendly competition in any sort of organized sport, but I’ll say friendly because I’ve never really excelled in any one sport.
Do you have any advice for FSU students?
There’s a lot of growing up that happens after high school between the early 20s all the way up into the early 30s. Be open to examining yourself as an individual and the world around you and be willing to learn and to be critical of yourself. But at the same time, ask questions, seek support when you need it, and communicate. When I was hired here, I talked about four areas that served me well as a grad student. The four areas I focused on were confidence in my pursuits, humility because it can be quite challenging to achieve your goals, responsibility – you have to be responsible for your own accomplishments and failures, and understanding. I teach mathematics for understanding. ... I’ve since added communication to that – communication is essential. I’ve learned that a lot. I keep going back to that in my role here.

title: So subjective

text:
You'd think those questions would have pretty straight-forward answers.
Mmmm . . . not so much.
This is my second year serving as a Whitney Awards judge, and we're rounding the bend on finishing up the reading of the nominees so we can cast our ballots for who we think should be the finalists in our category or categories. I'm judging two of the six categories, and there are five judges per category.
I know every judge has their own way of looking at quality. Every judge is qualified to serve as one. Yet we all rank different elements as higher importance or lower importance. (Is the plot arc more important than character? Is the writing on a sentence and paragraph level more important than plot? And so on. The list is endless.) Whatever we use as our personal guidelines, we are to apply the same ones to every book we judge.
I'm not going to discuss specific categories or titles (although since my own book is eligible in Historical, I'm obviously not judging that one). What I'll do instead is offer some general observations.
In one category, I thought there were three clear front-runners. While I still had a couple of books to read in the category, I would have been very surprised to see any of those three knocked off my list of predicted finalists. The last two slots would be fought over by the others. Actually, not all the others, because there are always a handful of nominees that just don't hold a candle to the others. But there were several that could have filled those last two slots.
Then lo and behold, I find out that one of the judges absolutely detested one of my top 3. Um, what? Every other person I've talked to who has read this book has love, love, loved it. Except this judge. I'm dying to know what the other three judges think, and now I'm wondering whether this book will be a finalist after all. I think it absolutely deserves to be. But I'm sure this judge has their reasons.
It's so subjective.
In my other category, something similar happened, only I was on the other side. I read a title I thought without a doubt was on the "um, yeah right, this has no chance" pile. And then I heard another judge in the same category lauding it. I had to do a double-take. I had half a mind to shake the judge and say, "But no human being acts like that! The characters were cardboard, the plot was contrived, and the writer was trying too hard to have a specific tone and missed the target by a mile. Can't you see that?"
Or maybe I'm the one with no clue. So maybe that book will be a finalist even though I couldn't stand it.
In a little less than a month, the finalists will be announced. I'm sure there will be plenty of excited people. Others will be sad they didn't make the list. There will be lots of buzz about why certain titles are there while others are not, and whether LDS fiction has improved or not over the years and what were certain judges thinking, and whether the Whitney system is accurate and all kinds of stuff.
But the bottom line is this: everyone likes different things. Even "quality" is, largely, subjective. And as frustrating as that can be at times, it's the reality. It's why I have a daughter who loves brownies but hates chocolate ice cream. They're both chocolate. As far as I'm concerned, they're both delicious. But she has a different taste.
And that's okay.
On the other hand, I really hope that one title is a finalist and one isn't.
And since I'm being honest, I kinda wouldn't complain if Tower of Strength ends up on the list too.

title: Thyssenkrupp partners with national ports on new super shallow draft bulk carrier

text:
thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions, a leading partner for the engineering, construction and service of industrial plants and systems, has entered into a partnership with National Ports, an Australia-based developer and operator of large-scale floating port solutions, to make the operation of bulk carriers and materials handling equipment more efficient and environmentally friendly in shallow water ports around the world.
The cooperation is aimed at further developing and rolling out a new technology: the super shallow draft bulk carrier. This self-propelled vessel will open shallow draft ports to far greater tonnages with no dredging and very limited capital expenditure.
Marco Lucido, Managing Director at National Ports, said: “Our new solution will open up access to shallow loading and destination ports worldwide, including those affected by large tides. The system will not only be able to significantly increase cargo throughput for existing mining companies with limited draft, it can also help to make new mining companies economically viable.”
The majority of global import and export ports for bulk material are geographically remote and not sufficiently dredged to handle modern bulk carriers. Such bulk carriers with a capacity of 180 000 DWT usually require a draft of around 19 metres, including clearance under the keel. Most ports have a draft of only 14 metres, or even less. At the same time, dredging is very expensive and costs increase exponentially when dredging of hard materials is required, not forgetting its negative impacts on the marine environment.
With the new super shallow draft bulk carrier, thyssenkrupp and National Ports offer mining companies and port operators around the world a fast and efficient bulk material handling solution for shallow water ports. With up to 185 000 DWTy on a 14 metre draft, the new system will be able to transit ports with limited water depth. It will be capable of self-unloading its cargo at a rate of up to 10 000 tph into bulk carriers of any size (including the Valemax with a 400 000 DWT capacity) or directly at the destination port in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. The new bulk carrier can be loaded from any ocean-going vessel or directly from the land side via shore conveyors, thus limiting capital expenditure for new port infrastructure. Mine and port operators can charter the system on a per ton basis.
Dr Franz-Maria Wolpers, Senior Executive in the Mining Technologies business unit of thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions, commented: “We are delighted to be helping our clients solve one of the most complex challenges they face when operating in shallow, restricted and remote ports. In addition to opening up access to those ports the new system dramatically increases self-unloading rates into any type of bulk carrier or to the port of destination through a thyssenkrupp materials handling system. In cooperation with National Ports, we are thus offering mining companies and port operators worldwide significant efficiency improvements including faster materials handling at lower cost and reduced environmental risk.”
The super shallow draft bulk carrier is technically based on a conventional bulk carrier, supplemented by so-called sponsons (attached to both sides of the bulk carrier). These provide the ship with additional flotation enabling it to operate in fully loaded condition in very shallow waters.

Claroty identifies five vulnerabilities in Moxa's MXview software
Claroty’s Team82 cybersecurity team has identified five vulnerabilities in Moxa’s MXview web-based network management system.
Collectively, ICS-CERT has scored these vulnerabilities a 10.0, its highest criticality score (see ICS-CERT’s advisory here). An unauthenticated attacker successfully chaining two or more of these vulnerabilities could achieve remote code execution on any unpatched MXview server.
MXview network management software versions 3.x to 3.2.2 are affected and Moxa recommends users upgrade MXview to version 3.2.4 or higher to remediate these vulnerabilities.
Moxa’s MXview is a web-based network management system designed for monitoring and managing Moxa-based devices. MXview consists of multiple components: a web server written in NodeJS, a backend process that monitors all managed computers called MXview Core, a Postgres database and an MQTT message broker that transfers messages to and from different components in the MXview environment.
Team82’s research into MXview uncovered five vulnerabilities in the MXview platform that could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute code on the hosting machine with the highest Windows privileges available: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
As part of MXview’s business logic, different processes and tasks communicate by sending and receiving messages using an MQTT broker named Mosquitto.
MQTT is a publisher/subscriber protocol aimed at allowing remote asynchronous communication. Two entities reside in the MQTT protocol: a client that sends and receives messages and a broker that routes messages to the appropriate clients.
In order to distribute messages to the correct clients, the broker holds a list of topics, or channels, where publishers could send messages. In order for a client to receive messages, it must subscribe to a topic. Whenever a message is sent to a specific topic, the broker distributes it to all subscribed users.
Behind the scenes, the MXview software distributes most of its IPC/RPC messages through the MQTT server and registers many callbacks to certain topics. In addition, most of the MXview APIs are using the MQTT protocol in order to receive and handle requests.
Sensitive information, such as credentials, are sent through the MQTT channels, and many callbacks are registered to perform certain actions whenever a message is sent. Thus, accessing the MQTT via these vulnerabilities will allow a malicious actor to exfiltrate sensitive data and abuse other vulnerabilities to execute remote commands.
All disclosed vulnerabilities have since been patched by Moxa, and users should upgrade their systems, as described above.
In particular, the vulnerabilities allow firstly an information leak by which MQTT credentials can be gained, allowing path traversal and MQTT message injection.
Team82 identified a file-read vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated attacker to read any file on the target operating system. Most of MXview’s web routes require a user to be authenticated; however, there is a specific route that does not, and Team82 managed to identify a vulnerability allowing a malicious actor to read any file.
This lack of validation allows a user to supply path-traversal characters that fetch arbitrary files. Furthermore, since many passwords and configurations are saved on the disk as clear-text, a malicious user could use this unauthenticated file-read primitive to retrieve secret passwords and configurations (ie, the password to the MQTT broker).
Team82 also identified a remote code execution vulnerability, allowing any user with access to the MQTT broker (and as described above, in most cases this access is enabled by default without requiring the attacker to know a secret password) to execute arbitrary code in the highest Windows privileges possible: NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM.
It was also discovered that an MXView feature that allows users to add custom icons can be abused by MQTT injection, allowing the creation of arbitrary files on the host server’s file system.

title: How to recognize psoriasis in the elderly 1723708979

text:
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that leads to the rapid growth of skin cells, resulting in thick, red, scaly patches on the skin. It can occur at any age but is often diagnosed in adults aged 15-35 and those over 60. The exact cause of psoriasis is unknown, but it is believed to be linked to immune system dysfunction and genetic predisposition.
Common Symptoms of Psoriasis in the Elderly
Thick, red patches of skin covered with silvery scales are the hallmark symptoms of psoriasis. Elderly individuals may experience psoriasis on different areas of the body, such as elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. Other symptoms may include itching, burning, and soreness in the affected areas.
Types of Psoriasis Commonly Observed in the Elderly
Plaque psoriasis is the most common form, characterized by raised, inflamed patches on the skin. Guttate psoriasis is less common in the elderly but can occur, often after an infection. Inverse psoriasis appears as bright red, shiny lesions in skin folds, such as under the breasts or in the groin.
Triggers of Psoriasis Flare-Ups in the Elderly
Stress is a significant trigger for psoriasis flare-ups among older adults. Infections, such as strep throat, can precipitate worsened symptoms. Skin injuries, including cuts and scrapes, can lead to the development of psoriasis lesions as part of the Koebner phenomenon.
Diagnosis of Psoriasis in the Elderly
A dermatologist typically diagnoses psoriasis based on a visual examination of the skin. In some cases, a skin biopsy may be required to rule out other skin disorders. A thorough medical history is essential to identify any underlying conditions or family history of autoimmune diseases.
Treatment Options for Psoriasis in the Elderly
Topical treatments, such as corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, and retinoids, are commonly prescribed for mild to moderate psoriasis. Phototherapy (light therapy) can be effective, especially for those who do not respond well to topical treatments. Systemic medications, including immunosuppressants and biologics, may be considered for severe cases of psoriasis.
Lifestyle Modifications to Manage Psoriasis
Maintaining a healthy diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods can positively impact psoriasis symptoms. Regular moisturizing can help alleviate dryness and irritation associated with psoriasis patches. Avoiding known triggers, such as smoking and excessive alcohol, is vital for managing this condition.
Supporting the Mental Health of Elderly Patients with Psoriasis
Psoriasis can take a toll on mental health; it’s important to provide emotional support to elderly patients. Encouraging participation in support groups can help individuals share experiences and coping strategies. Professional counseling may be beneficial for those struggling with the psychological impact of psoriasis.

Aramex and PayPal are working together to get around
cross-border shipping and payments issues. (Image via
In trying to overcome these challenges, Aramex and PayPal are working together with the I Shop the World (ISTW) program, which uses both party’s individual strengths to get around cross-border shipping and payments issues.
ISTW is an integrated shipping and payments platform that combines Aramex’s and PayPal’s services. It allows consumers to buy goods from merchants locally and internationally, and sort shipping in one transaction. It also allows companies to export to more than 60 cities where Aramex’s Shop and Ship service is available, and offers consumers a wider selection of products.
It should be noted that Aramex and PayPal have had a partnership since 2012. What’s new is the ISTW marketplace, which is currently available only to Shop and Ship customers.
When an order is placed, the merchant delivers the item to their local Shop and Ship hub, where, Aramex notifies the customer and ships the item to the to the customer’s Shop and Ship location.
The value of goods sold online in the MENA region is expected to reach $13.4 billion by 2020. Although the ISTW the process seems simple enough, it underscores how critical it is to get both shipping and payment right. Startups are trying to fill the gap.
“In ecommerce, buying and shipping are most important,” said Francis Barel, PayPal head of market growth. “How do you market a website to attract customers? How do you convert prospects that are on website into customers? How do you convert one-time customers into customers for life?”
“Delivering goods on time and in good condition — this is logistics,” Barel continued. “Aramex is our most strategic partner to date in the Middle East.”
The program helps merchants as well. It opens markets and eliminates cash on delivery payments and its attendant issues.
“It’s not a traditional way of shipping, but this is where merchants are seeing value,” said Hassan Mikail, Aramex chief ecommerce officer. “They no longer worry about cross-border transactions.”

title: 1917

text:
In 1917 Sam Mendes has created an astonishing work of cinematic art through the masterful combination of continuous, single-shot cinematography by Roger Deakins; concise, effective screenplay co-written with Krysty Wilson-Cairns; and haunting, dramatic score by Thomas Newman.
Mendes’ direction in this film is intense. His use of long takes and clever editing bring the viewer into ‘real time’ so that the film appears as a single continuous shot, following in the footsteps of Hitchcock’s Rope (1948) and Scorsese’s Goodfellas (1990). Mendes himself employed the technique in Spectre (2015) but in 1917 the application of this method reaches new heights as Mendes plunges us straight into the hell of the protagonists.
The film tells the story of two soldiers, Lance Corporals Blake (Dean Charles Chapman) and Schofield (George MacKay) who are tasked by their General (Colin Firth) to avert the slaughter of another 1,600 men, including Blake’s own brother. Blake is asked to take someone with him before the mission is explained, and volunteers Schofield, who faces the quest with trepidation asking his comrade directly, ‘why me?’.
There has been a rise in interest by film directors in the history of the First World War since the centenary marking the end of the conflict. Peter Jackson’s extraordinary documentary They Shall Not Grow Old (2018) brought the naivety of the general population of the early 20th century, and their false levels of hope for a short and glorious war, sharply into focus. Danny Boyle helped build our collective memory of the callousness of this war and the heroism of those who volunteered, fought and died for the country through his large-scale memorial portraits on coasts throughout the UK on Armistice Day, 2018. Sam Mendes builds on this momentum, using the basis of his grandfather’s recollections as a runner, for the plot of 1917.
Newman’s score adds drama to the action, building an emotional reaction within the viewers as we experience the shock and horror at critical points. MacKay evokes in Schofield’s character the same pathos he brought to Pride (2014) and the melancholy of How I Live Now (2013), portrayed through his gut-wrenching expressions.
The lance corporals become moving targets in broad daylight, crossing over the line into enemy territory. The audience is dragged into the landscape by the buzz of flies around horses’ corpses and the scuttle of rats over dead bodies whose faces are eaten away. Daytime scenes contrast with Daliesque moments wandering through a bombed French city, where the town fountain stands like a glowing cross against the burning backdrop of silhouetted ruins. Ghostly visions through deserted battlefields stress the confusion of war, and the fear and apathy of officers, raising viewers’ awareness of the wretchedness and futility of the barbaric strategies deployed, with images reminiscent of the eerie river settings in Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now (1979).
21st century cinema can sometimes be seen as full of superheroes and CGI action to engross audiences and transport them into different worlds. Mendes recreates the world of the ‘Great War’ itself, demonstrating the comradeship and heroism of human beings when faced with unspeakable adversity and the solemn fact that there is no need for imagined superheroes and villains when humankind has both in tens of thousands. We could have been there with these soldiers. We could have dodged the bullets they did, witnessed the evil they saw, felt the compassion they were shown; such was the power of the screenplay and the ‘one-shot’ direction. Mendes has brought the suffering of a lost generation straight into the hearts of 21st century viewers, lest we forget.

title: Pile burn project dead horse ranch state park planned week february 13 2023

text:
Cottonwood, AZ (2/9/23) – Next week the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management in conjunction with Arizona State Parks and Trails begin a two-day pile burn project at Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood. During the day, smoke off the project may be visible to the City of Cottonwood and immediate communities. Project managers expect the smoke to settle into the Verde River overnight near Cottonwood down to Camp Verde. The project takes place within the state park, but will not affect park visitors.
The piles are approximately five acres and the result of leftover debris from continual fuels work conducted by Arizona State Parks and Trails to reduce wildfire risk within the park and nearby residences. Pile burning is an effective and efficient tool to reduce that leftover debris and helps further safeguard the area. Ignitions begin the morning of Tuesday, February 14, with project completion expected by Wednesday. Prescribed burns are always dependent upon weather conditions and resource availability. Burns will be cancelled or rescheduled if conditions do not allow for safe burning.
DFFM assists Arizona State Parks and Trails by providing them with hand crews and additional resources qualified in prescribed fire. Over the last few months, the agency has conducted several pile burns at Tonto Natural Bridge, Lost Dutchman, Roper Lake, and Picacho Peak State Parks.
All burns, regardless of pile or broadcast, must have approval from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality prior to beginning ignitions. Notifications will be made before the start of ignitions on the agency’s social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter and Nextdoor.

Save seconds to save lives
James Brooks, head of innovation at Halo, explains, “We are extremely proud to manufacture products that make such a difference in fire situations. The Solo range offers greater protection than open helmets with a facemask. The fire fighter can don the helmet in less than ten seconds, be connected to his radio and receive thermal images at great speed, which is paramount when getting to the seat of a fire. The Solo helmet also has great heat shielding capabilities, with a double thickness face seal and a 4mm thick anti-fog and anti-glare facemask providing superb protection levels.”
All of the major breathing apparatus systems can be catered for – Draeger, Scott or MSA – and Halo has the capability to connect to a full range of radio communications systems. Speech transmitted through the Solo helmet is crystal clear – a vital attribute, as communications are of the utmost importance when an emergency takes place on board a ship.
Approved to MED standards
Halo products are approved to the latest MED requirements and have EN443 (2008), EN136 and EN137 approvals, so you know you are protecting the lives of your crew and customers with the best equipment possible.
Catering to the cruise sector since 1996, Halo Thermal Imaging has vast experience in the industry, and has supplied many cruise lines with fire fighting solutions, including Princess, Carnival and Cunard. Earlier this year, when Cunard’s three Queens (Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2) were sailing together up the Mersey, Halo was proud to know that it was providing fire protection on all three ships.
An innovative signature product
Always innovating, the team at Halo has not been resting on their laurels when it comes to new product development. The company has recently launched a new signature thermal imaging camera: the Halo. This is the lightest and smallest thermal imaging camera available today that is designed for firefighting, and search and rescue. The company knew from experience just how important it was for clients to have thermal imaging, and the ability for this to be hands free.
For those that want to use a traditional fire helmet and face mask, the Halo, at only 390g, fits snugly onto the side of a fire helmet with a 2.5in high-definition display, and features a snapshot function that enables image freezing for situational assessment.
James Brooks, head of innovation at Halo, adds, “Due to the superior dynamic range, the Halo can clearly detect casualties against a fire as well as in other scenarios, such as search and rescue, where the firefighter has to deal with colder temperatures.
“Every firefighter that has trialled the Halo says the vision is perfect, even those who require glasses. The TIC is exactly the right height, and users can move the display up and down according to requirements.
“The camera features spot temperature measurement with four colour maps, with single button configuration. And to top it all off, it’s hands free.”
Service centre technology
Great technology follows great partners, and the team at Halo has worked for many years with Resmar, which provides sales and service to the cruise industry. The ability to service the complete fire package – helmet and breathing apparatus sets – gives customers the security of knowing their firefighting equipment is in safe hands. With experienced teams in Cheshire and Portsmouth, Resmar is ready to help at any time.

title: Uk doctor turns off sick babys life support without parents consent

text:
A couple, Sian Hill, 26 and partner James Tower, 29, are in a legal battle with Darlington Memorial Hospital, UK, after the hospital allegedly turned off their baby’s life support without their consent.
The couple claimed the hospital turned off their baby’s life support without their consent after she was rushed to resuscitation following a traumatic birth.
Sian said they were initially led to believe she had died when she was being brought to them, and not as a result of her life support being stopped.
The couple got to know only when reading through pathologist reports some months later that the staff had allegedly taken the decision to end life support against their wishes, reports METRO UK.
As a result, the couple consulted medical negligence specialists lawyers Hudgell Solicitors, who investigated the case and alleged the hospital had also been at fault for Ivy’s death by failing to induce Sian at an earlier stage of her pregnancy.
Sian, a support worker, said, “Ivy was taken away and we understood that this was so she could be fully resuscitated.
“We were obviously extremely worried at that stage and I desperately wanted to see Ivy to see how she was doing, but the nurses kept telling me not to worry and that she would be brought back to me once she was breathing properly.
“When we were made aware that Ivy was not responding well to resuscitation and that the life support may need to be switched off both James and I made it very clear to the doctors and nurses that we wanted to see Ivy as soon as possible, and while she was still alive.
“When they brought Ivy into the room she had died and was in a wicker basket.
“They said she had died when they were bringing her to us, no mention of switching anything off.
“It was only when we were reading a pathology report months later that we saw the word ‘extubated’ – which meant they had ended life support – that we began asking questions. We were furious and it was then we turned for legal support.
“She was three hours old when they switched off her life support and in that time we had not been able to see her alive. I never saw Ivy, or held her, or even touched her when she was alive.
“We have been given compensation but that doesn’t bring back our daughter, and they still haven’t apologised.”


title: Why Credit Unions Need Crypto

text:
Why Credit Unions Need Crypto
Credit unions are among the lesser-known financial institutions for younger generations. According to CU Collaborate, the average age of a credit union member is 47. The average age of all Americans is 37 years old. Credit union members are typically more senior than the rest of the U.S. population.
This statistic is particularly alarming because credit unions are slow to acquire millennial and Gen Z customers while their core members are aging. According to GoBankingRates, people ages 35 to 44 drastically favor online banks (36%) compared to credit unions (19%).
Credit unions are losing market share to online banks. It’s apparent that credit unions need to find ways to adapt to changing consumer preferences.
Transition to digital banking
Credit unions need to transition their banking platform to a digital one to compete with national and challenger banks.
Matthew Williamson, VP of global financial services at Mobiquity, reiterates the opportunity for digital transformation of credit unions:
“[This] is an opportunity for credit [unions] to reposition themselves embracing digital.” – Matthew Williamson
Credit unions need to be innovative and bring new products to their platform. If they continue relying on their current products and services, they will have trouble acquiring younger customers. They will be left behind when competing with innovative digital banks.
Credit unions can innovate with crypto
Adding cryptocurrency to your banking platform can give your credit union a competitive edge.
Cryptocurrency is one of the fastest-growing technologies in human history. According to Crypto.com, the global crypto population increased 178% in 2021, rising from 106 million in January to 295 million in December.
Cryptocurrency is gaining momentum quickly. The adoption of crypto is growing faster than the early Internet. Institutions that adopt crypto will be able to benefit from the growth in the future.
It’s no secret that cryptocurrency has gone mainstream for younger generations, such as millennials and Gen Z. According to Stilt, 94% of crypto buyers are between the ages of 18 and 40.
It’s hard to ignore crypto adoption among millennials and Gen Z. They are the first digitally native generations, so they understand the value of digital assets.
Millennials and Gen Z trust the financial institutions that they use for banking. They don’t want to trust another third party to access cryptocurrencies. These generations want to trade cryptocurrencies directly in the banking application on their phone or computer.
Additionally, cryptocurrency owners are more likely to become members of credit unions. In the United States, 31% of all adults use at least one credit union. For cryptocurrency owners, 41% are members of at least one credit union (see chart below).
Consumers are demanding cryptocurrency products. They want to be part of the rapidly growing industry. If their current bank or credit union doesn’t offer crypto, they will simply switch to a new platform.
The crypto opportunity
There is an opportunity for credit unions to add cryptocurrency directly to their banking platform.
Below are many benefits to adding cryptocurrency to credit unions:
- Acquire younger customers who are attracted to cryptocurrency
- Retain existing deposits that were moving to crypto exchanges
- Generate a new revenue stream through crypto transaction fees
According to the National Credit Union Administration, “Credit unions with federally insured deposits can work with third-party providers of crypto services to allow their members to purchase, sell, and hold digital assets if certain conditions are met.”
Your credit union can add seven cryptocurrencies to your platform using Coinme’s APIs. There are no hidden integration fees, just crypto accessible to your customers. You can find more details to partner with us on our website here. The time to add crypto is now. It is becoming clear that financial institutions have to adopt this technology to stay competitive and not be left behind.

title: Is khaki a color or is khaki a fabric

text:
If you have ever been shopping for a pair of khaki pants for women then you will know how confusing it is to find what you are looking for. Perhaps that’s because we don’t really know what we are looking for or, we don’t know how to describe khaki pants to the clerk!
You can go in one store and ask for them and you will be brought to an aisle where everything is that traditional dust/beige color khaki, but made out of some synthetic fabric. Then you ask in the next shop and you are brought to an aisle with all cotton twill pants in a variety of colors from purple to black and told that this is the assortment of khakis.
So, what is this style exactly? Is it a color or is it a fabric? Actually, khaki is either/or or both! In the beginning, khaki was a color originating in the Middle East, most probably Persia where the name came from, and British soldiers adopted it as the official color of a uniform. This was the advent of khaki as a color.
However, those uniforms were made out of close woven cotton or linen twill fabric, which means that khaki is also a fabric! Today you can find khaki pants that are khaki colored or khaki pants for women that are in any color imaginable. Khaki is a color and khaki is a fabric, so don’t be confused when shopping. Should you do an internet search for khaki pants for women and a screen should pop up with dark green or purple slacks, check out the fabric they are made from. Chances are it’s cotton or linen twill.
Fashion is a very important thing. Whether you are trying to land a job or just trying to impress someone. Always dress well and you’ll be surprised what comes around for you!

The Nag Ashwin film starring the three heavyweights has gone on floors in Hyderabad
India’s biggest stars – Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and the gorgeous Deepika Padukone – are joining forces with visionary director Nag Ashwin and the ace South Indian production house Vyjayanthi Movies to create an epic cinematic experience for movie lovers. Bollywood’s legendary star landed in Hyderabad, as the film’s mahurat was held on the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima. For the shot, Prabhas sounded the clapboard for Amitabh Bachchan whose portions will be canned in the first schedule.
The poster released by the makers show Project – K as the working title of the movie. “On this #GuruPurnima, it is an honour for me to Clap for the Guru of Indian cinema! … it now begins!! #ProjectK Amitabh Bachchan Deepika Padukone #NagAshwin Vyjayanthi Movies,” wrote Prabhas on social blogging site.
Director Nag Ashwin will be canning some crucial sequences with Big B and few other actors in the first shooting schedule that commenced in RFC, Hyderabad. However, Prabhas will join the team later.
A big fan of Amitabh Bachchan, it’s a dream come true for Prabhas to share screen space with the living legend. Marking his first full length Telugu film, Big B is also equally excited to collaborate with the talented team.
A new world was created in RFC for the film and it is one of the most expensive Indian projects till date.
After their last offering Mahanati, the story of the legendary actress Savitri that won several national and international awards, this upcoming yet untitled Project K is a much cherished dream for Aswini Dutt, producer and founder of Vyjayanthi Movies. Swapna Dutt and Priyanka Dutt, who have been instrumental in raising the bar for cinematic values of several films of Vyjayanthi Movies and Swapna Cinema, are the co-producers.
With a dream cast that includes the biggest names in Indian cinema today including Amitabh Bachchan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and with a cinema wizard Nag Ashwin (of Mahanati fame) helming the film, movie lovers are hoping for a cinematic spectacle like never before and the industry too is abuzz with expectations.

Japan aims to boost its domestic Web3 industry with beneficial tax reforms to foster startup growth. The government is actively incentivizing investments in Web3 startups by implementing major tax changes to establish Japan as a market leader in the emerging Web3 scene.
Economy, Trade, and Industry Minister Takeru Saito anxiously awaits the potential positive impacts on both local and global platforms, all thanks to these accommodations. The end goal is to promote a refined, accessible digital environment.
Backed by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, Japan plans to employ Web3 solutions across multiple economic sectors. These advancements are viewed as potential answers to various social issues, and discussions are ongoing on how to integrate these technologies securely and privately.
The government’s vision is clear: it seeks to promote a flexible, user-friendly, and secure approach to Web3-related tokens.

Volunteer Opportunity at Queen’s: Language and Solidarity Initiative (LASI)
Give back and gain skills when you volunteer with the Language and Solidarity Initiative (LASI). Learn about the initiative from American student blogger Tessa.
When I came to Queen’s I knew I wanted to join a service group to give back to the community. As a Conflict Transformation and Social Justice MA student, I was drawn to the Language and Solidarity Initiative due to its work with asylum seekers and refugees transitioning to Belfast. If you are looking for a service group to volunteer with, I highly recommend LASI!
Being an English Mentor
LASI mentors newcomers to Belfast in English to support their transition. In partnership with the QUB Catholic Chaplaincy and the Horn of Africa People’s Aid Northern Ireland (HAPNI), the volunteer group delivers varying levels of English classes, cultural events, and a book club!
When I first got involved, I shadowed an experienced English grammar teacher in a class once a week. After I felt comfortable leading my own class, I was put in charge of a beginner class in the Spring semester. During this time, I trained three teachers who came from all different majors: one was a law student and another was an English PhD. Now I co-teach a summer beginners English Class, so I can take time off for trips.
Tessa with a group of students
Being a volunteer for LASI is great because you get a flexible schedule based on your own availability and it's only once a week! Even better than flexible hours, you get to help your students grow and become more confident in and out of the classroom.
Beyond the Classroom
At the cultural events, I learn more about where my students are from and their backgrounds. For example, many of our students are from Eritrea, so I got to try traditional Eritrean coffee.
So far, I attended our winter holidays event and our spring break event and had a blast at both! At the winter holidays event, we played charades to practice seasonal English vocabulary and had holiday snacks and desserts. Later, at the spring break event, we ate injera, a dish traditionally made in a couple of our student’s home countries.
I love volunteering with LASI because of the excellent group of students and volunteers. I constantly see the volunteers going above and beyond to support students outside the classroom by seeking new ways to serve.

title: Best ornaments for your type of christmas tree

text:
Christmas ornaments come in all shapes and sizes – globes, finials, icicles, and more. While you can mix and match them, certain baubles complement your tree better than others. In this guide, we share the best Christmas ornaments according to different tree types.
Full Christmas Trees
These trees can support heavy ornaments and full coverage designs, so you have more options. To add depth and dimension to your display, use baubles in varying shapes and hues.
Tree décor such as balls and finials work great against dense foliage without looking too crowded. Add movement with glittered ribbons in a waterfall design, then wrap a faux fur tree skirt at the bottom to tie up the motif.
1920s-themed ornaments feature metallic colors and intricate patterns that look stunning on a full tree. Use Christmas ornaments such as crystal danglers, gold baubles, and beaded garlands for an opulent display.
Red, green, and gold ornaments on a full-shaped tree bring back nostalgic Christmas memories. The abundant foliage gives plenty of surface area to showcase heirloom trimmings. Crown it with a star topper to complete the look.
Slim Christmas Trees
Slender trees are great for highlighting ornaments in a focused way. If you’re short on space or simply prefer slim evergreens, try these Christmas tree decorating ideas:
This collection features nature-inspired materials such as wood and fabric, perfect for the rustic charm of a slender tree. Create a cozy countryside look with miniature sleds and ice skates, vintage sleigh bells, wooden villages, and fabric reindeer, then add flower picks in between branches.
Sparse Christmas Trees
Large ornaments go well on a sparse evergreen. When choosing baubles, make sure they’re big enough to create an impact but not too big to overwhelm the tree.
Woodland-themed ornaments are perfect for trees that resemble those found in dense forests. Intricate baubles like owls and mushrooms pair well with the layered branches and add a whimsical touch to the display. Use faux feathers for texture and berry picks for bright pops of color.
Tabletop Christmas Trees
Small ornaments make for eye-catching details on tabletop trees. Use different shapes to create dimension and symmetry, keeping coverage minimal to avoid crowding the tree.
Frosted Christmas Trees
Pre-Lit Christmas Trees
Accents that sparkle or shine make great ornaments for pre-lit Christmas trees. Like a prism, they reflect the glow coming from the lights, creating a delightful effect. Here are some Christmas ornament ideas to try:
Frequently Asked Questions
Below we answer some of your questions about Christmas trees and ornaments.
What Are the Types of Christmas Trees and Their Advantages?
The common types of Christmas trees are full, slim, sparse, tabletop, pre-lit, and frosted. Full trees have more dense foliage so they can support more ornaments, while slim and sparse trees call for a more minimalistic design. Tabletop trees may be the most versatile as they can look good in any space. Meanwhile, pre-lit and frosted trees make decorating easier.
How Do You Choose Ornaments for Christmas Trees?
Consider the shape and size of your tree when decorating for Christmas. Full trees can support heavy coverage, so go for more pieces. Meanwhile, slim and sparse trees are perfect backdrops for minimalistic designs and elongated ornaments. For tabletop trees, it’s best to use mini baubles to avoid overcrowding your design.
What Is the Most Popular Ornament on a Christmas Tree?
Christmas balls are the most common tree ornaments, but icicles, finials, and novelty pieces have gained popularity over the years. Decorated Christmas trees can have a combination of ornaments with various accents and textures.

The way of Svetlana and Fernando to each other was not simple and not rapid.
Svetlana was registered with the agency for two years. As many fascinating girls, she had meetings with the men, but not to one of them she was wanted to present her love, tenderness and concern.
One day Svetlana brought into the agency her best friend Irina. Fate was ordered so that quite soon Irina was introduced to the young Italian man Giuliano, who lives in France. They felt that they approach to each other and they decided not to pull with the wedding.
During the day, when in France, in Myuluze city, occurred the wedding of Giuliano and Irina young likable Portugese, who lives in France, turned himself into the agency and asked about the encounter with only one girl - our Svetlana. When we realized, that Fernado lives in Myuluze too, along our skin the ants broke into a run. The meeting of Svetlana and Fernando took place in the evening. Our translator felt as the lightning of feelings flashed between them. This happened. Two halves of one soul found each other! Their wedding took place in the same glorious city Myuluze.
Now both our girls and their families are happy. They live in Myuluze in ten minutes of walking from each other. It is much nearer than they lived in their native Belorussian city Grodno.

title: Aluminized steel combining power aluminum steel better material

text:
Metallurgists combined the two to produce a better compound material 鈥� aluminized steel. If you want the complete list of aluminized steel鈥檚 physical and chemical properties, Hascall Steel Co. will be happy to share it with you. For now, let鈥檚 explore the main characteristics of this material.
Aluminized Steel鈥檚 Properties
Aluminized steel is carbon steel that has been coated with an aluminum-silicon alloy through a process called hot-dipping. The technique聽聽between the base metal (the carbon steel) and its alloy coating to give the new material a combination of steel and aluminum鈥檚 best characteristics.
Aluminized steel has steel鈥檚 strength while also maintaining aluminum鈥檚 advantageous surface qualities. It also has good formability, too, so metallurgists can bend, fold, corrugate, and roll it without breaking.
Here are some of the compound鈥檚 other advantageous properties:
- High Temperature Resistance 鈥� the aluminum-silicon coating of aluminized steel makes the material resistant to high temperatures. In fact, it can withstand up to 900掳 F, much higher than聽.
- Low Thermal Expansion Coefficient 鈥� Aluminized steel has a relatively lower thermal expansion coefficient, which means it鈥檚 less likely to deform under heat stress. This is its advantage over stainless steel.
- Corrosion Resistance 鈥� Aluminized steel is more corrosion-resistant than both carbon steel and aluminum because the aluminum oxide that forms during hot-dipping protects the base metal.
Aluminized steel is relatively new in the industry, but it has already become a material of choice for its unique set of properties. Additionally, it鈥檚 more economical than common materials like stainless steel.
Types of Aluminized Steel
There are two types of aluminized steel depending on the purity of its coating.
Type 1 aluminized steel has a coating that鈥檚 around 5-11% silicon. Metallurgists usually use this in equipment that requires extreme heat resistance, like cooking and heating.
Meanwhile, type 2 aluminized steel has a pure aluminum coating, which is often thicker than type 1鈥檚 coating. Manufacturers usually use this in cladding and jacketing over insulation.
Aluminized steel is commonly used in applications involving high temperatures and corrosion resistance.
Its resistance to high temperatures makes it ideal for incinerators, ovens, heaters, kitchen ranges, and barbeque burners. Additionally, the aluminum-silicon coating doesn鈥檛 rust or affect the flavor of food, making it sanitary for cooking ware like baking pans and pots.
Its resistance to corrosion, meanwhile, makes it great for HVAC components and pipes in industrial facilities that carry corrosive liquids.
Quality Aluminized Steel
Aluminized steel is ideal for various applications. Your facility, however, should source your aluminized steels from a trusted聽steel service company聽like Hascall Steel Co.
We take great care to select and process our products to your exact specifications. We can offer aluminized steel tailored to certain physical and chemical properties like tensile strength, yield and elongation, and Rockwell hardness.
Whether you want steel that is slit, sheared, cut-to-length, or blanked, Hascall Steel Co. has you covered. Drop by our shop at, call us at (888) 579-5902, or聽fill out our online form聽for more information about our services.


title: How to install adb and fastboot

text:
If you want to root your Android device, install a custom ROM or do other advanced things on your phone, it is essential that know the answer to the question 'What is ADB'? and 'How to install ADB and Fastboot'. Well, that is exactly what we have tried to answer in this guide. Hopefully, this article will guide you on getting the most out of your Android smartphone.
Jump to a section:
- Things you should know before you start
- What is ADB?
- What is fastboot?
- What are drivers?
- Install ADB drivers on Windows
- Enable USB debugging
- Install ADB Tools on Windows
- Install ADB on Mac or Linux
- ADB commands: the most important commands and functions
- ADB errors: common errors and solution
ADB is shot for Android Debug Bridge. In simple terms, it is nothing but a communication tool between your smartphone and PC. For those with slight technical knowledge, think of it as a client and server communicating with the other. It is accessed via the command prompt on Windows and is used to send commands to Android from a PC. ADB is very helpful to the Android community and tinkerers for rooting, flashing new ROMs or simply troubleshooting smartphones.
Fastboot is a diagnostic tool used to modify the Android file system using a computer. It is used after the smartphone is started in bootloader mode. The commands are basic, and include, for example, to 'flash' (install) a boot image or a bootloader.
A driver is a small program that allows an operating system – Windows in this case – to recognize a device and interact with or use it. Each deveice has its own driver, hard drive, mouse, etc. For our smartphones, the system itself uses a driver, the ADB mode and fastboot mode also because the interface is not the same. To summarize, Windows needs a driver for the smartphone, for fastboot and ADB. They are common for all smartphones.
If you are planning to do anything with ADB, it is recommended that you are using Window 10. In our test with a Windows 10 system, we didn’t have to install any additional drivers and could access the ADB interface with any Android smartphone, immediately. On Windows 7 and earlier OS versions, connecting your smartphone and PC via ADB might be a bit more complex.
On Windows 7, if the appropriate ADB driver is missing, your smartphone and PC will not be able to communicate. Thankfully, the ADB Driver Installer offers a universal solution to the problem. Make your way to this site and click on ADB Driver Installer (9 MB). Open the zip file and start the .EXE file contained therein. Confirm the warning regarding user access controls when it appears.
The second this you need to do is to enable USB debugging on your smartphone. To do this:
Make your way to Settings, then tap on About phone and press seven times in quick succession on Build number. Go back to the main Settings menu, and you will now see an option for Developer options above About phone. Here, activate USB debugging.
Now click again on Refresh in the ADB Driver Installer, and your device should appear. If it still doesn’t work, you need to change the USB connection mode. Many smartphones are set to use the USB cable only for charging by default. This is intentional, so your files are invisible to the user of the connected computer.
Pull down the notification from the top of the screen of the smartphone while it is connected to your computer. From here, press on the USB connection type. Then select either MTP or PTP. (We found success with both options).
Now, when you click on Refresh, you should see your device in the list of ADB Driver Installers. Click on the line displaying your device, and then click Install. This should install the appropriate ADB drivers for your smartphone.
If you have problems, you need to open the Device Manager, delete existing entries with your smartphone and repeat the installation.
Now we want to make use of the ADB drivers. To ensure everything is as recent as possible, first, head to this website and download Platform Tools.
Unpack the files to a folder and press the shift button and right-click on your mouse, then click on the “Open PowerShell window here” then a command prompt will open. And that's it.
Once again, check if USB Debugging is on and turn it on if it isn't already.
Once you have enabled USB debugging on your device and allowed it from the computer, your device should appear in the device list within the command window.
The Unix-based systems of Mac OS and Linux make things much easier. Firstly, they eliminate the hassle of drivers. Secondly, the ADB tools keep themselves up to date thanks to simple package management systems. Mac users install the package manager Homebrew and then run brew install android platform-tools. Linux users need to look in the package system for android-platform-tools and install it. Subsequently, the ADB tools should be defined globally, so you are able to use the following ADB commands in the command line.
adb backup -f FullBackup.ab -apk -all: The idea here is that you make a full backup of your app data. In practice, the results are unreliable. Not all apps allow for an ADB backup, meaning you might need to find an alternative method.
adb devices: With this command you will receive an overview of all devices connected to the computer device with ADB support. Here you can see the device identifier and the status. If the word Unauthorized appears, it means you need to allow the computer permission to communicate with your smartphone.
adb reboot: reboots your smartphone
adb reboot recovery: reboots your device into recovery mode
adb reboot bootloader: reboots into the bootloader. Once it is in this mode, you can communicate with the device via the fastboot command.
adb push [directory on the computer / dateiname.endung] [Directory in the smartphone]: this command moves a file from the stated folder on your computer to the stated folder on your smartphone.
adb pull [Directory in the smartphone / dateiname.endung] [directory on the computer]: if you run this command, it will save a file from your smartphone or tablet to your PC. Without specifying the computer directory, the file will land in the path of the ADB executable or /home directory.
adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/screenshot.png
adb pull /sdcard/screenshot.png
adb shell rm /sdcard/screenshot.png:To take a screenshot, saved to your computer.
adb help: overview of all ADB commands, syntax and help.
adb sideload update.zip: this command is used to install files, such as official device updates, on your smartphone. More complex installations, such as those of Custom ROMs, however, are done through the fastboot interface.
adb install [android app].apk: this can be used to install an Android app (APK) on your smartphone/tablet.
No Device: Your USB cable is not connected properly, the ADB interface on your phone is not running or your computer does not recognize your smartphone. Try using a different USB port, another cable, enable USB debugging, check the drivers, the computer, and restart your device.
Server is out of date: The version of ADB Tools on your computer and the version of Android on your smartphone must be compatible. If they are not, this error occurs. Update your version of ADB Tools.
Now you are aware of all the ways you can go about modifying your smartphone. Be it sideloading an update, rooting, or whether it is the installation of different firmware, you now have full control over your smartphone.

title: Complication of breast augmentation

text:
Breast augmentation with Implants is a very common surgery and is performed millions of times across the world. It is considered a low risk surgery but like any other surgical procedure, can have complications. It's important to note that these complications are rare, and a good surgeon with a well-equipped facility, patient safety protocols and a good track record of happy patients with good results is vital for a good surgical result.
Whilst very rare, complications include:
● Infection: An infection can occur at the surgical site, which can cause redness, warmth, and swelling. In rare cases, an infection can spread to the bloodstream and become life-threatening.
● Hematoma: Hematoma is a collection of blood outside of blood vessels. This can cause pain and swelling and can lead to infection, delayed healing, and scarring.
● Seroma: Seroma is a collection of clear fluid that can occur at the surgical site after the surgery. This can cause swelling and discomfort and may require surgical drainage.
● Asymmetry: It can occur when the two breasts are not exactly the same size or shape.
● Changes in sensation: Some patients may experience changes in sensation in the breast or nipple after surgery.
● Capsular contracture: It's a complication that occurs when the scar tissue surrounding the implant tightens and hardens, causing the breast to feel hard and unnatural.
● Implant leakage or rupture: Implants can leak or rupture, particularly if they are made of silicone. Leakage or rupture can cause a change in the shape or size of the breast, and in some cases, may require the implant to be removed or replaced.
● Poor scarring: Some patients may develop poor scars which can be raised, thickened, or discoloured.
● Nipple or breast necrosis: In rare cases, the blood supply to the nipple or breast tissue may be compromised, leading to the death of the tissue.
- Breast augmentation, when performed by an experienced surgeon and with quality implants, is considered to be a low-risk procedure.
