With over 2.6 billion active users ad 4.6billion active accounts email has become a significant means of communication in the business, professional, academic, and personal worlds. Before email we had protocols that enabled us to send messages within small splinters of networks. Time Sharing systems like PLATO at the University of Champaign-Urbana, DTSS at Dartmouth College, BerkNet at the University of California Berkeley, and CTTS at MIT pioneered electronic communication. Private corporations like IBM launched VNET We could create files or send messages that were immediately transferred to other people. The universities that were experimenting with these messaging systems even used some of the words we use today. MIT's CTSS used the MAIL program to send messages. Glenda Schroeder from there documented that messages would be placed into a MAIL BOX in 1965. She had already been instrumental in implementing the MULTICS shell that would later evolve into the Unix shell. Users dialed into the IBM 7094 mainframe and communicated within that walled garden with other users of the system. That was made possible after Tom Van Vleck and Noel Morris picked up her documentation and turned it into reality, writing the program in MAD or the Michigan Algorithm Decoder. But each system was different and mail didn't flow between them. One issue was headers. These are the parts of a message that show what time the message was sent, who sent the message, a subject line, etc. Every team had different formats and requirements. The first attempt to formalize headers was made in RFC 561 by Abhay Bhutan and Ken Pogran from MIT, Jim White at Stanford, and Ray Tomlinson. Tomlinson was a programmer at Bolt Beranek and Newman. He defined the basic structure we use for email while working on a government-funded project at ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) in 1971. While there, he wrote a tool called CYPNET to send various objects over a network, then ported that into the SNDMSG program used to send messages between users of their TENEX system so people could send messages to other computers. The structure he chose was Username@Computername because it just made sense to send a message to a user on the computer that user was at. We still use that structure today, although the hostname transitioned to a fully qualified domain name a bit later. Given that he wanted to route messages between multiple computers, he had a keen interest in making sure other computers could interpret messages once received. The concept of instantaneous communication between computer scientists led to huge productivity gains and new, innovative ideas. People could reach out to others they had never met and get quick responses. No more walking to the other side of a college campus. Some even communicated primarily through the computers, taking terminals with them when they went on the road. Email was really the first killer app on the networks that would some day become the Internet. People quickly embraced this new technology. By 1975 almost 75% of the ARPANET traffic was electronic mails, which provided the idea to send these electronic mails to users on other computers and networks. Most universities that were getting mail only had one or two computers connected to ARPANET. Terminals were spread around campuses and even smaller microcomputers in places. This was before the DNS (Domain Name Service), so the name of the computer was still just a hostname from the hosts file and users needed to know which computer and what the correct username was to send mail to one another. Elizabeth “Jake” Feinler had been maintaining a hosts file to keep track of computers on the growing network when her employer Stanford was just starting the NIC, or Network Information Center. Once the Internet was formed that NIC would be the foundation or the InterNIC who managed the buying and selling of domain names once Paul Mockapetris formalized DNS in 1983. At this point, the number of computers was increasing and not all accepted mail on behalf of an organization. The Internet Service Providers (ISPs) began to connect people across the world to the Internet during the 1980s and for many people, electronic mail was the first practical application they used on the internet. This was made easier by the fact that the research community had already struggled with email standards and in 1981 had defined how servers sent mail to one another using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, or SMTP, in RFC 788, updated in 1982 with 821 and 822. Still, the computers at networks like CSNET received email and users dialed into those computers to read the email they stored. Remembering the name of the computer to send mail to was still difficult. By 1986 we also got the concept routing mail in RFC 974 from Craig Partridge. Here we got the first MX record. Those are DNS records that define the computer that received mail for a given domain name. So stanford.edu had a single computer that accepted mail for the university. These became known as mail servers. As the use of mail grew and reliance on mail increased, some had multiple mail servers for fault tolerance, for different departments, or to split the load between servers. We also saw some split various messaging roles up. A mail transfer agent, or MTA, sent mail between different servers. The received field in the header is stamped with the time the server acting as the MTA got an email. MTAs mostly used port 25 to transfer mail until SSL was introduced when port 587 started to be used for encrypted connections. Bandwidth and time on these computers was expensive. There was a cost to make a phone call to dial into a mail provider and providers often charged by the minute. So people also wanted to store their mail offline and then dial in to send messages and receive messages. Close enough to instant communication. So software was created to manage email storage, which we call a mail client or more formally a Mail User Agent, or MUA. This would be programs like Microsoft Outlook and Apple Mail today or even a web mail client as with Gmail. POP, or Post Office Protocol was written to facilitate that transaction in 1984. Receive mail over POP and send over SMTP. POP evolved over the years with POPv3 coming along in 1993. At this point we just needed a username and the domain name to send someone a message. But the number of messages was exploding. As were the needs. Let's say a user needed to get their email on two different computers. POP mail needed to know to leave a copy of messages on servers. But then those messages all showed up as new on the next computer. So Mark Crispin developed IMAP, or Internet Message Access Protocol, in 1986, which left messages on the server and by IMAPv4 in the 1990s, was updated to the IMAPv4 we use today. Now mail clients had a few different options to use when accessing mail. Those previous RFCs focused on mail itself and the community could use tools like FTP to get files. But over time we also wanted to add attachments to emails so MIME, or Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions became a standard with RFC 1341 in 1993. Those mail and RFC standards would evolve over the years to add better support for encapsulations and internationalization. With the more widespread use of electronic mail, the words were shortened and to email and became common in everyday conversations. With the necessary standards, the next few years saw a number of private vendors jump on the internet bandwagon and invest in providing mail to customers America Online added email in 1993, Echomail came along in 1994, Hotmail added advertisements to messages, launching in 1996, and Yahoo added mail in 1997. All of the portals added mail within a few years. The age of email kicked into high gear in the late 1990s, reaching 55 million users in 1997 and 400 million by 1999. During this time having an email address went from a luxury or curiosity to a societal and business expectation, like having a phone might be today. We also started to rely on digital contacts and calendars, and companies like HP released Personal Information Managers, or PIMs. Some companies wanted to sync those the same way they did email, so Microsoft Exchange was launched in 1996. That original concept went all the way back to PLATO in the 1960s with Dave Wooley's PLATO NOTES and was Ray Ozzie's inspiration when he wrote the commercial product that became Lotus Notes in 1989. Microsoft inspired Google who in turn inspired Microsoft to take Exchange to the cloud with Outlook.com. It hadn't taken long after the concept of sending mail between computers was possible that we got spam. Then spam blockers and other technology to allow us to stay productive despite the thousands of messages from vendors desperately trying to sell us their goods through drip campaigns. We've even had legislation to limit the amount of spam, given that at one point over 9 out of 10 emails was spam. Diligent efforts have driven that number down to just shy of a third at this point. Email is now well over 40 years old and pretty much ubiquitous around the world. We've had other tools for instant messaging, messaging within every popular app, and group messaging products like bulletin boards online and now group instant messaging products like Slack and Microsoft Teams. We even have various forms of communication options integrated with one another. Like the ability to initiate a video call within Slack or Teams. Or the ability to toggle the Teams option when we send an invitation for a meeting in Outlook. Every few years there's a new communication medium that some think will replace email. And yet email is as critical to our workflows today as it ever was.

Teleprinters, sometimes referred to as teletypes based on the dominance of the Tyletype corporation in their hayday, are devices that send or receive written transmissions over a wire or over radios. Those have evolved over time to include text and images. And while it may seem as though their development corresponds to the telegraph, that's true only so far as discoveries in electromagnetism led to the ability to send tones or pules over wires once there was a constant current. That story of the teletype evolved through a number of people in the 1800s. The modern telegraph was invented in 1835 and taken to market a few years later. Soon after that, we were sending written messages encoded and typed on what we called a teletype machine, or teletypewriter if you will. Those were initially invented by a German inventor, Friedrich König in 1837, the same year Cooke and Wheatstone got their patent on telgraphy in England, and a few years before they patented automatic printing. König figured out how to send messages over about 130 miles. Parts of the telegraph were based on his work. But he used a wire per letter of the alphabet and Samuel Morse used a single wire and encoded messages with the Morse code he developed. Alexander Bain developed a printing telegraph that used electromagnets that turned clockworks. But keep in mind that these were still considered precision electronics at the time and human labor to encode, signal, receive, and decode communications were still cheaper. Therefore, the Morse telegraph service that went operational in 1846 became the standard. Meanwhile Royal Earl House built a device that used piano keyboards to send letters, which had a shift register to change characters being sent. Thus predating the modern typewriter, developed in 1878, by decades. Yet, while humans were cheaper, machines were less prone to error, unless of course they broke down. Then David Edward Hughes developed the first commercial teletype machine known as the Model 11 in 1855 to 1856. A few small telegraph companies then emerged to market the innovation, including Wester Union Telegraph company. Picking up where Morse left off, Émile Baudot developed a code that consisted of five units, that became popular in France and spread to England in 1897 before spreading to the US. That's when Donald Murray added punching data into paper tape for transmissions and incremented the Baudot encoding scheme to add control characters like carriage returns and line feeds. And some of the Baudot codes and Murray codes are still in use. The ideas continued to evolve. In 1902, Charles Krum invented something he called the teletypewriter, picking up on the work started by Frank Pearne and funded by Joy Morton of the Morton Salt company. He filed a patent for his work. He and Morton then formed a new company called the Morkrum Printing Telegraph. Edward Kleinschmidt had filed a similar patent in 1916 so they merged the two companies into the Morkrump-Kleinschmidt Company in 1925 but to more easily market their innovation changed the name to the Teletype Corporation in 1928, then selling to the American Telegraph and Telephone Company, or AT&T, for $30M. And so salt was lucrative, but investing salt money netted a pretty darn good return as well. Teletype Corporation produced a number of models over the next few decades. The Model 15 through 35 saw an increase in the speed messages could be sent and improved encoding techniques. As the typewriter became a standard, the 8.5 by 11 inch came as a means of being most easily compatible for those typewriters. The A standard was developed so A0 is a square meter, A1 is half that, A2, half that, and so on, with A4 becoming a standard paper size in Europe. But teletypes often had continual feeds and so while they had the same width in many cases, paper moved from a small paper tape to a longer roll of paper cut the same size as letter paper. Decades after Krum was out of the company, the US Naval Observatory built what they called a Krum TTY to transmit data over radio, naming their device after him. Now, messages could be sent over a telegraph wire and wirelessly. Thus by 1966 when the Inktronic shipped and printed 1200 characters a minute, it was able to print in baud or ASCII, which Teletype had developed for guess who, the Navy. But they had also developed a Teletype they called the Dataspeed with what we think of as a modem today, which evolved into the Teletype 33, the first Teletype to be consistently used with a computer. The teletype could send data to a computer and receive information that was printed in the same way information would be sent to another teletype operator who would respond in a printout. Another teletype with the same line receives that signal. When hooked to a computer though, the operator presses one of the keys on the teletype keyboard, it transmits an electronic signal. Over time, those teletypes could be installed on the other side of a phone line. And if a person could talk to a computer, why couldn't two computers talk to one another? ASCII was initially published in 1963 so computers could exchange information in a standardized fashion. Bell Labs was involved and so it's no surprise we saw ASCII show up within just a couple of years on the Teletype. ASCII was a huge win. Teletype sold over 600,000 of the 32s and 33s. Early video screens cost over $10,000 so interactive computing meant sending characters to a computer, which translated the characters into commands, and those into machine code. But the invention of the integrated circuit, MOSFET, and microchip dropped those prices considerably. When screens dropped in price enough, and Unix came along in 1971, also from the Bell system, it's no surprised that the first shells were referred to as TTY, short for teletype. After all, the developers and users were often literally using teletypes to connect. As computing companies embraced time sharing and added the ability to handle multiple tasks those evolved into the ability to invoke multiple TTY sessions as a given user, thus while waiting for a task to complete we could do another task. And so we got tty1, tty2, tty3, etc. The first GUIs were then effectively macros or shell scripts that were called by clicking a button. And those evolved so they weren't obfuscating the shell but instead now we open a terminal emulator in most modern operating systems not to talk to the shell directly but to send commands to the emulator that interprets them in more modern languages. And yet run tty and we can still see the “return user's terminal name” to quote the man page. Today we interact with computers in a very different way than we did over teletypes. We don't send text and receive the output in a a print-out any longer. Instead we use monitors that allow us to use keyboards to type out messages through the Internet as we do over telnet and then ssh using either binary or ASCII codes. The Teletype and typewriter evolved into today's keyboard, which offers a faster and more efficient way to communicate. Those early CTSS then Unix C programs that evolved into ls and ssh and cat are now actions performed in graphical interfaces or shells. The last remaining teletypes are now used in airline telephone systems. And following the breakup of AT&T, Teletype Corporation need finally in 1990, as computer terminals evolved into a different direction. Yet we still see their remnants in everyday use.

I'm delighted to speak with Professor Laurence Alison and Dr Neil Shortland in this episode. Laurence is Chair of Forensic and Investigative Psychology at Liverpool University. He is a leader in forensic psychology, and specialises in the most difficult interactions imaginable: criminal interrogations. He advises and trains the police, security agencies, the FBI and the CIA on how to deal with extremely dangerous suspects. Neil is the Director of the Centre for Terrorism and Security Studies (CTSS) at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. CTSS leads and facilitates scientific research, education and training to help understand and respond to the evolution, convergence and complexity of domestic and foreign security challenges. Having spent over 20 years helping soldiers, police officers, doctors and other professionals in high-stakes environments make tough decisions when lives are on the line, Laurence and Neil have written the brilliant new book “Decision Time: How to make the choices your life depends on”. In the book they show us how those same decision-making techniques apply to everyday life. With tips, studies, interviews and observations from their training with police officers together with role-play scenarios, this book will help you identify and fight off the common enemies of good decision-making - inertia, procrastination and indecision - and empower you to make the choices that matter the most.

14 and half hours of deep blissful sleep! I would never have guessed I could spend so long in a sleeping bag. That should help efforts to reboot the body post yesterday’s icefall climb. Shortly after Pingju arrived at my tent with some hot water for breakfast, I recognize some familiar voices from the comfort of my sleeping bag. My weary body is reluctant to rise until @climber_tenji sticks his head in to say hello. He and my ‘old’ team of Ryan, April & David are halfway through leg 1 of their summit push, moving onto Camp 2 now. Soon I’m up, out & catching up with my old teammates over their early morning noodle soups. It’s great to see them and feel genuine sincerity in their remarks about seeing me back on the mountain after Covid. There’s plenty of activity around and a buzz in the air as a few more climbers from CTSS have also landed into Camp 1 including @ruida.su , Michael and Dr Mike along with their guides. Energy is flowing. One by one, climber and guide move out and begin the second portion of their aggressive Day 1, pushing to Camp 2. In a much less excited and nervous fashion Pingju and I follow in their footsteps for about an hour, leisurely heading out to a point above Camp 1 for some ‘active rest’. With the sun now beating down on the Western Cwm I’m happy we don’t go far and enjoy the hour or so we spend perched above camp surveying the magnificent surroundings. I think a lot about the future, warmly.

I caught up with Everest Guide Mike Hamill owner of Climbing The Seven Summits (CTSS) live at EBC to discuss Base Camp luxuries for #Everest2021. CTSS was founded by Mike after years of serving as a lead guide for another major company. He has a loyal following of clients and has set long-term goals to be a significant player in the global mountaineering market. Mike's vision is to meet his client's needs and expectations and appears to be a leader, not a follower when it comes to base camp services. While some people may not understand this level of service at a place like Everest Base Camp, Mike feels it's entirely appropriate as he explains in the interview.

The Origin of the Shell, Return to Plan 9, ArisbluBSD: Why a new BSD?, OPNsense 20.7.5 released, Midnight BSD 2.0 Release Status, HardenedBSD November 2020 Status Report, and more. NOTES This episode of BSDNow is brought to you by Tarsnap (https://www.tarsnap.com/bsdnow) Headlines The Origin of the Shell (https://multicians.org/shell.html) CTSS was developed during 1963 and 64. I was at MIT on the computer center staff at that time. After having written dozens of commands for CTSS, I reached the stage where I felt that commands should be usable as building blocks for writing more commands, just like subroutine libraries. Hence, I wrote "RUNCOM", a sort of shell driving the execution of command scripts, with argument substitution. The tool became instantly most popular, as it became possible to go home in the evening while leaving behind long runcoms executing overnight. It was quite neat for boring and repetitive tasks such as renaming, moving, updating, compiling, etc. whole directories of files for system and application maintenance and monitoring. Return to Plan 9 (https://boxbase.org/entries/2020/nov/1/return-to-plan9/) Plan 9 from Bell Labs has held the same charm after my last visit that took a few days. This time I'll keep this operating system in an emulator where I can explore into it when I am distracted. News Roundup Why a new BSD? (https://blog.fivnex.co/2020/11/arisblubsd-why-new-bsd.html) This article is to explain some decisions and plans made by the ArisbluBSD team, why we are making our own thing, and what the plan is for the OS. We mainly want to talk about five things: desktop, package management, software availability, custom software, and the future of the OS. We mostly want to explain what the goal of the OS is, and how we plan to expand in the near future. Without further ado, let's explain ArisbluBSD's plan. OPNsense 20.7.5 released (https://opnsense.org/opnsense-20-7-5-released/) We return briefly for a small patch set and plan to pin the 20.1 upgrade path to this particular version to avoid unnecessary stepping stones. We wish you all a healthy Friday. And of course: patch responsibly! Midnight BSD 2.0 Release Status (https://www.justjournal.com/users/mbsd/entry/33841) We identified some issues with the 2.0 ISOs slated for release with the ZFS bootloader not working. Until this issue is resolved, we are unable to build release ISOs. We've left the old ones up as they work fine for anyone using UFS.

On Episode 176 of The Tennis Files Podcast, I spoke with one of the top athletic movement specialists in the world, Lee Taft, about how to become faster and stronger on the tennis court. Lee is known as “The Speed Guy” and has devoted over 30 years to training and teaching his multi-directional speed methods to athletes, top performance coaches and fitness professionals around the world. He's been a Strength and Speed Coach at the Bollettieri Tennis Academy, conducted workshops for MLB and NBA teams, and consulted for NFL teams. Lee has created tons of programs and books to help you improve your speed, strength and agility, including the Certified Tennis Speed Specialist certification. On the show, you'll learn a simple and very effective speed workout, the best exercises to become a stronger and more powerful athlete, the biggest mistakes we make when training our speed, how we can improve our lateral and multi-directional movements, tools we can use to get faster, how to divide our training on the court and in the gym, and much more! I hope you enjoy my interview with Lee! Let us know what you think about this episode in the comments below!

In this special edition of the Tennis Speed Show, Lee addresses the importance of creating scenarios where tennis players must learn to solve the variety of problems that are in front of them on every movement. The more they are exposed to the kinesthetic differentiation variable and the more they are challenged to make split-second decisions on the speed, angle of pursuit, and effort level, the greater the problem-solvers they become.

Coach Kris Borthwick, Assistant Director of Sports Performance at Wake Forest, shares loads of practical information. This show really should have been a three-part series. Listen in as Coach Borthwick describes in detail the repeat sprint test he developed for tennis athletes.  

The Director of Tennis at Inspiration Academy, Ashley Hobson, shares some powerful information in this interview. Listen in as Coach Hobson talks about how important movement is and how he evaluates it. Coach Hobson explains why strength training for tennis performance and movement on the court is a must.

This show amazing to listen to multiple times. Coach David Bailey shares his Bailey Method of Footwork on the court. He goes into the five R's and the six basic patterns that set up over 140 footwork patterns. He is an amazing coach and teacher of the game. You'll love this interview!

Listen to a former top 100 ATP pro and world-class tennis coach, Jeff Salzenstein, talk shop! Jeff shares so much great information we will have to do a part two to continue the conversation. Listen closely as he goes through so many vital areas of speed, strength, mental game, and nutrition. Gold!

Listen, as coach Andy Wegman shares how the performance team works with large groups of tennis players at the John McEnroe Tennis Academy. Andy breaks down what a typical warm-up and strength sessions look like for his athletes. He talks about how the speed training and testing occurs and the flaws they tend to see.

I have wanted to have a physical therapist share his experience in the tennis world. Alex Cascone shares so many vital points about proper training, mobility, stability to ensure players are safe and performing at their best. This is one show you want to listen to and take lots of notes.

In today's lesson let's discuss the importance of sprinting and why tennis player's court movement become better because of it. Be sure you listen in on this short, but important lesson!

Let's start off the Tennis Speed Show Lesson Series with the Lateral Run and the true biomechanics of it as it relates to gait. It is very important for coaches to understand this skill and know all the ins and outs of it.

SHOW NOTES: CHAPTER 1: Accessing psychiatric care for our pediatric patients presents a number of challenges. There are many acronyms for our patients receiving care or in need of care. We mention this because it is important to better define these services so that we can navigate the system more appropriately for our patients. With regard to PrairieCare, the first stage in care is the needs assessment, which really helps to define the level of care our patients will require. As mentioned, this process can be started simply by picking up the phone and calling PrairieCare's number to discuss cases and essentially immediately obtain a psychiatric consultation from Dr. Stein or his partner(s). The triage portion of this consultation is handled by a social worker, such as Joe Waller, who assesses the often complex needs of our child psychiatry patients. Dr. Stein discusses an average, fairly typical patient he treats in the child psychiatry world. While general psychiatry looks at biologic illness, in the child psychiatry world, much of the diagnoses are quite directly linked to exposure and environment these children are actively experiencing. This particular 9 yo patient he presents to us has experienced exposure in utero, violence at home and witnessing abuse, divorce, limited paternal relationship, differences in parenting, education challenges, living environment changes, and video game overuse to placate behaviors. To further complicate matters, the patient threatens to kill himself, but does demonstrate empathy for others as well. His step-father is of SE Asian descent and the patient experiences barriers to psychotropic medication use and care due to some first generation cultural beliefs. So does this sound like something you can properly manage in the primary care clinic, let alone in an emergency department without resources? Irritability and agitation tend to be fundamental qualities in child psychiatry. Bronfenbrenner's Ecological theory helps us understand the various systems that make us who we are. We are informed by a microsystem that spreads out from the self. the Chronosystem makes up the outer sphere and informs us based on the time and ear in which we accept things to be "the way they are". We are informed by what is happening in front of us, but also what we have experienced in the past. The Macrosystem is composed of overarching beliefs and values to help inform us as well. For instance, being gay is now accepted as who we are, as opposed to a psychiatric condition, as it was in the 1950s. The exosystem consists of economical, governmental, educational and political systems which tend to also inform us of who we are. For instance, the push for equality in these systems informs us that we are equally capable and worthy. The meso and microsystems involve family, school, peer, and religious affiliation. Finally we get to the "you" part of this system - that is defined by our biology and genetics. ACEs are adverse childhood events. Parental issues, abuse, assault, medical concerns, etc. all tend to lead to early death from all causes. Impairments increase when ACEs are present. Carious untoward behaviors ensue, such as addiction, promiscuity and eating disorders. Therefore, positive childhood experiences are remedies for these kids, such as participation in sports or activities, having other adult figures who offer positive experiences that an otherwise positive parent would ordinarily provide. As Dr. Stein alluded to in the CDC study, the more ACEs a child has, the more risks (factors) they will take on. Overcoming periodic markers of stress in our childhood helps us to have success in future life stressors or obstacles. From positive stressors like passing a spelling test, to one's first crush on a girl or boy, to writing college essays. Then we have tolerable stressors like job loss, health problems and loss of a loved one. Next are the more dysfunctional, toxic stressors like physical abuse, living with violence, etc. Our ability to maturely handle each of these more minor, typical as well as tolerable life stressors depends on our ability to handle previous lesser positive stressors and so on. In other words, kids who have never learned how to move past and cope with these more basic stressors because of continuous toxic stressors like neglect, poor support, abuse, chemical dependency, violence and a variety of other dysfunctions, will continue to struggle. Many of Dr. Stein's patients are living in a chronically stressed state and therefore agitation and aggression is easily triggered with minimal provocation. Medication often is implemented in order to get a child to a state of being able to learn to address these markers of stress. Stay tuned for the next chapter, where we will go through some statistics of childhood mental illness, and how we even begin to approach these issue in our patients. CHAPTER 2: 1/5 of all adults experience mental illness. 20% of all youth live with a mental health condition from ages 13 to18.  70% of kids in the juvenile justice system have at least one mental health condition. At least 20% live with a serious MHD. Less than half of these kids will receive treatment that they actually need. Over 1/3 of students served by special education end up dropping out of school. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death between ages 10 and 24.  Earlier diagnosis leads to earlier appropriate treatment for children. Approximately 160 people are directly affected by suicide, but a youth suicide will often directly affect hundreds or more. We are doing a better job than before in schools now of recognizing mental illness. The stigma is gradually being erased and remedied. While social media can and does affect emotional well being, there is ironically an almost therapeutic or empathetic aspect to it. Dr. Stein gives the example of "meme" culture, which offers emotional context and description that is easily recognized and identified with by patients. Kids are talking more about suicide, and there is evidence of influencing others to consider suicide as well, similar to couples experiencing divorce. Suicide will be of great concern in our suburbs and exurbs. The Native American population in particular will continue to see a rise in this for many of the reasons mentioned in chapter 1 relating to the microsystem discussed. So what is the goal? We need to connect kids and adults with care when it is needed. An important step is referring for evaluation when we've identified there may be a problem We in the primary care or emergency department setting often are even afraid to ask some of the questions to help identify if there is a mental illness problem, because we have limited time and resources. In general though, we're doing a much better job of screening for mental illness. For instance the schools are actually really doing a great job here. However, problems arise after we've identified an issue. The question is what do we do now? We all have experienced this, right? We want to help our patients but we are challenged by limited access to mental health resources, closed clinics, limitations on the part of the psychiatrist, etc. Sometimes kids are in a vicious cycle of crisis, and crisis aversion, which gets in the way of making progress or even getting them into the system. Stay tuned for chapter three, where we'll take a deeper dive into what we do next and what actual options we may have for our child and adolescent psych patients. And we'll immerse into the alphabet soup of acronyms in this field. So hold on and tune back in! CHAPTER 3: Acronyms are abundant in child psychology. CTSS or children's therapeutic services and supports are a great tool for helping to assess and deescalate in the home. But there are many other programs as mentioned by Dr. Stein. Outpatient treatment is of course for patients who are otherwise stable and sage, but need regular visits for therapy and support. Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are group based therapy programs for ongoing support and transitioning. Partial hospitalization (PHP) is a service that provides care for patients who no longer need to be fully hospitalized (or inpatient care), but they receive during the day intensive therapy, and they're not actually attending their school either, but still doing classwork in the facility. PHP of course is staffed by nurses and physicians. These patients don't meet the safety needs or criteria for impatient care. And they do go home at night with self-support skills, and there is an emphasis on supporting families of the patient. Inpatient hospitalization is fairly self-explanatory and reserved for patients who are unsafe and not thriving  with the other mentioned modalities. Finally, residential treatment or RTC, is provided for patients who are well-regulated on medications but still need intensive therapy. PRTF, psychiatric residential treatment facility, is a place for patients to live while they're getting intensive outpatient therapy, but not a hospital, thereby allowing for a more independence and normalcy not found in the hospital. Residential treatment is actually very difficult to access. These are reserved for patients who are in the vicious cycle of crisis, crisis intervention by police, emergency department visits and repeating this experience over and again. Unfortunately, after inpatient care or partial hospitalization and stabilization patients can sometimes fall between the cracks and not have important outpatient ongoing care and follow-up, therefore the same dysfunctional responses to crises happen, leading the patient right back to where they were just a few weeks ago. Primary care providers must continue to advocate for their mental health patients, and this involves transparency with what was done and planned for regarding their most recent mental health hospitalization. Case management services through the county are also quite valuable for us. CHAPTER 4: So who are typical patients. Inpatient care's goal is to have a short stay, avert the crisis at hand, and deescalate to other care options. At PrairieCare, a typical inpatient stay is 7 to 10 days. Residential treatment is for children or adults with chronic suicidality, severe biologic illness sand general unsafe existence, and it offers and opportunity to build them up with better coping skills. Partial hospitalization duration of care varies, but remember it is a step down from inpatient care and often with the same physician. With intensive outpatient treatment, there aren't usually the same safety or morbidity concerns as with the aforementioned modalities. It tends to be more common in the adult population. eating disorders as an example are commonly addressed with IOP. IOPs are fairly specific services for patients. Outpatient services are classically 1 or 2 days per week. There may be resistance to this on the part of our patients, but it's important that we push for this. A lot of changes occur in teens' live on a weekly basis as opposed to an adults. 911 for crises is always available, especially when there is risk of harm to self or others. County crisis services are also helpful and available. Also, there is the option of walking in for an appointment. The medical aspect of this service at PrairieCare and Ridgeview is helpful, but so is the social work aspect. The needs assessment of patient care is paramount, and the social workers are instrumental in heading this up. They will often provide resources for specific parental and patient concerns, such as stressors from screen overuse, LGBTQ specific needs, etc. From a medical aspect, we will be supported by the psychiatrist dosing changes, titration, etc.  Fast tracker is an important tool that is sponsored by DHS that is updates and provides links and recommendations to services for some's specific locale. It is updated regularly by major and some smaller institutions. One of the issues of our day is bullying and it's abundance in society now. But it does present a unique challenge for caregivers and providers. In many cases, bullying does not represent toxic or ongoing dysfunctional stress, because many bullied kids have other healthy releases and coping mechanisms. Nonetheless, it can be quite traumatic, especially if not addressed. It is also important to understand the difference between teasing and bullying. Dr. Stein addresses the concern for access to the system. Essentially, the number is at our disposal, and there are many modalities available to our patients. While it is wonderful to have these options, driving distance must be considered, and we as referring providers have to advocate for our patients with regard to this. Driving 50 to 80 miles round trip for an appointment is not always desirable. How does the primary care provider address mental health during a well visit? Dr. Stein mentions screening options which will offer some talking points. Discussing social media and its inherent struggles within this subject is also important. Bottom line is that a follow-up appointment may be necessary to address lingering concerns.

Today the Emergency Service Departments are busier than ever...the nearly constant sound of sirens remind us that trauma is happening all around us.  On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Sajel Bellon Ed.D, RP, CTSS, Professor and Psychotherapist & Vincent Bellon, Career Firefighter and Instructor who will share their experience.

Now, as the name suggests this is the second part of a series on the history of UNIX. Part 1 mainly covers the background leading up to UNIX. If you haven't listened to it yet, I strongly suggest you go do that now. A lot of what was covered in part 1 provides needed context for our discussion today.   Just as a quick recap, last time I told you about CTSS and Multics, two of the earliest time-sharing operating systems. Today, we are going to be picking up where we left off: Bell Labs just left Project MAC and decided to start their own time-sharing project. What they didn't realize was that this new project, called UNIX, would soon outshine all of its predecessors. But when this all started, in 1969 on a spare mainframe at Bell Labs, there was no hint at it's amazing future.

Many people have never even heard of Unix, an operating system first released in the early 1970s. But that doesn't change the fact that all of the internet, and nearly every computer or smart device you interact with is based on some variant of Unix. So, how was such an important project created, and how did it revolutionize computing? Today we will dive into the story leading up to Unix: time-sharing computers in the 1960s. This is really just the background for part 2 where we will discuss the creation and rise of Unix itself. However, the history of early multi-user computers is itself deeply interesting and impactful on the evolution of computing.

The costs of open sourcing a project are explored, we discover why PS4 downloads are so slow, delve into the history of UNIX man pages, and more. This episode was brought to you by Headlines The Cost Of Open Sourcing Your Project (https://meshedinsights.com/2016/09/20/open-source-unlikely-to-be-abandonware/) Accusing a company of “dumping” their project as open source is probably misplaced – it's an expensive business no-one would do frivolously. If you see an active move to change software licensing or governance, it's likely someone is paying for it and thus could justify the expense to an executive. A Little History Some case study cameos may help. From 2004 onwards, Sun Microsystems had a policy of all its software moving to open source. The company migrated almost all products to open source licenses, and had varying degrees of success engaging communities around the various projects, largely related to the outlooks of the product management and Sun developers for the project. Sun occasionally received requests to make older, retired products open source. For example, Sun acquired a company called Lighthouse Design which created a respected suite of office productivity software for Steve Jobs' NeXT platform. Strategy changes meant that software headed for the vault (while Jonathan Schwartz, a founder of Lighthouse, headed for the executive suite). Members of the public asked if Sun would open source some of this software, but these requests were declined because there was no business unit willing to fund the move. When Sun was later bought by Oracle, a number of those projects that had been made open source were abandoned. “Abandoning” software doesn't mean leaving it for others; it means simply walking away from wherever you left it. In the case of Sun's popular identity middleware products, that meant Oracle let the staff go and tried to migrate customers to other products, while remaining silent in public on the future of the project. But the code was already open source, so the user community was able to pick up the pieces and carry on, with help from Forgerock. It costs a lot of money to open source a mature piece of commercial software, even if all you are doing is “throwing a tarball over the wall”. That's why companies abandoning software they no longer care about so rarely make it open source, and those abandoning open source projects rarely move them to new homes that benefit others. If all you have thought about is the eventual outcome, you may be surprised how expensive it is to get there. Costs include: For throwing a tarball over the wall: Legal clearance. Having the right to use the software is not the same as giving everyone in the world an unrestricted right to use it and create derivatives. Checking every line of code to make sure you have the rights necessary to release under an OSI-approved license is a big task requiring high-value employees on the “liberation team”. That includes both developers and lawyers; neither come cheap. Repackaging. To pass it to others, a self-contained package containing all necessary source code, build scripts and non-public source and tool dependencies has to be created since it is quite unlikely to exist internally. Again, the liberation team will need your best developers. Preserving provenance. Just because you have confidence that you have the rights to the code, that doesn't mean anyone else will. The version control system probably contains much of the information that gives confidence about who wrote which code, so the repackaging needs to also include a way to migrate the commit information. Code cleaning. The file headers will hopefully include origin information but the liberation team had better check. They also need to check the comments for libel and profanities, not to mention trade secrets (especially those from third parties) and other IP issues. For a sustainable project, all the above plus: Compliance with host governance. It is a fantastic idea to move your project to a host like Apache, Conservancy, Public Software and so on. But doing so requires preparatory work. As a minimum you will need to negotiate with the new host organisation, and they may well need you to satisfy their process requirements. Paperwork obviously, but also the code may need conforming copyright statements and more. That's more work for your liberation team. Migration of rights. Your code has an existing community who will need to migrate to your new host. That includes your staff – they are community too! They will need commit rights, governance rights, social media rights and more. Your liberation team will need your community manager, obviously, but may also need HR input. Endowment. Keeping your project alive will take money. It's all been coming from you up to this point, but if you simply walk away before the financial burden has been accepted by the new community and hosts there may be a problem. You should consider making an endowment to your new host to pay for their migration costs plus the cost of hosting the community for at least a year. Marketing. Explaining the move you are making, the reasons why you are making it and the benefits for you and the community is important. If you don't do it, there are plenty of trolls around who will do it for you. Creating a news blog post and an FAQ — the minimum effort necessary — really does take someone experienced and you'll want to add such a person to your liberation team. Motivations There has to be some commercial reason that makes the time, effort and thus expense worth incurring. Some examples of motivations include: Market Strategy. An increasing number of companies are choosing to create substantial, openly-governed open source communities around software that contributes to their business. An open multi-stakeholder co-developer community is an excellent vehicle for innovation at the lowest cost to all involved. As long as your market strategy doesn't require creating artificial scarcity. Contract with a third party. While the owner of the code may no longer be interested, there may be one or more parties to which they owe a contractual responsibility. Rather than breaching that contract, or buying it out, a move to open source may be better. Some sources suggest a contractual obligation to IBM was the reason Oracle abandoned OpenOffice.org by moving it over to the Apache Software Foundation for example. Larger dependent ecosystem. You may have no further use for the code itself, but you may well have other parts of your business which depend on it. If they are willing to collectively fund development you might consider an “inner source” strategy which will save you many of the costs above. But the best way to proceed may well be to open the code so your teams and those in other companies can fund the code. Internal politics. From the outside, corporations look monolithic, but from the inside it becomes clear they are a microcosm of the market in which they exist. As a result, they have political machinations that may be addressed by open source. One of Oracle's motivations for moving NetBeans to Apache seems to have been political. Despite multiple internal groups needing it to exist, the code was not generating enough direct revenue to satisfy successive executive owners, who allegedly tried to abandon it on more than one occasion. Donating it to Apache meant that couldn't happen again. None of this is to say a move to open source guarantees the success of a project. A “Field of Dreams” strategy only works in the movies, after all. But while it may be tempting to look at a failed corporate liberation and describe it as “abandonware”, chances are it was intended as nothing of the kind. Why PS4 downloads are so slow (https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2017-08-19-slow-ps4-downloads/) From the blog that brought us “The origins of XXX as FIXME (https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2017-04-17-xxx-fixme/)” and “The mystery of the hanging S3 downloads (https://www.snellman.net/blog/archive/2017-07-20-s3-mystery/)”, this week it is: “Why are PS4 downloads so slow?” Game downloads on PS4 have a reputation of being very slow, with many people reporting downloads being an order of magnitude faster on Steam or Xbox. This had long been on my list of things to look into, but at a pretty low priority. After all, the PS4 operating system is based on a reasonably modern FreeBSD (9.0), so there should not be any crippling issues in the TCP stack. The implication is that the problem is something boring, like an inadequately dimensioned CDN. But then I heard that people were successfully using local HTTP proxies as a workaround. It should be pretty rare for that to actually help with download speeds, which made this sound like a much more interesting problem. Before running any experiments, it's good to have a mental model of how the thing we're testing works, and where the problems might be. If nothing else, it will guide the initial experiment design. The speed of a steady-state TCP connection is basically defined by three numbers. The amount of data the client is will to receive on a single round-trip (TCP receive window), the amount of data the server is willing to send on a single round-trip (TCP congestion window), and the round trip latency between the client and the server (RTT). To a first approximation, the connection speed will be: speed = min(rwin, cwin) / RTT With this model, how could a proxy speed up the connection? The speed through the proxy should be the minimum of the speed between the client and proxy, and the proxy and server. It should only possibly be slower With a local proxy the client-proxy RTT will be very low; that connection is almost guaranteed to be the faster one. The improvement will have to be from the server-proxy connection being somehow better than the direct client-server one. The RTT will not change, so there are just two options: either the client has a much smaller receive window than the proxy, or the client is somehow causing the server's congestion window to decrease. (E.g. the client is randomly dropping received packets, while the proxy isn't). After setting up a test rig, where the PS4's connection was bridged through a linux box so packets could be captured, and artificial latency could be added, some interested results came up: The differences in receive windows at different times are striking. And more important, the changes in the receive windows correspond very well to specific things I did on the PS4 When the download was started, the game Styx: Shards of Darkness was running in the background (just idling in the title screen). The download was limited by a receive window of under 7kB. This is an incredibly low value; it's basically going to cause the downloads to take 100 times longer than they should. And this was not a coincidence, whenever that game was running, the receive window would be that low. Having an app running (e.g. Netflix, Spotify) limited the receive window to 128kB, for about a 5x reduction in potential download speed. Moving apps, games, or the download window to the foreground or background didn't have any effect on the receive window. Playing an online match in a networked game (Dreadnought) caused the receive window to be artificially limited to 7kB. I ran a speedtest at a time when downloads were limited to 7kB receive window. It got a decent receive window of over 400kB; the conclusion is that the artificial receive window limit appears to only apply to PSN downloads. When a game was started (causing the previously running game to be stopped automatically), the receive window could increase to 650kB for a very brief period of time. Basically it appears that the receive window gets unclamped when the old game stops, and then clamped again a few seconds later when the new game actually starts up. I did a few more test runs, and all of them seemed to support the above findings. The only additional information from that testing is that the rest mode behavior was dependent on the PS4 settings. Originally I had it set up to suspend apps when in rest mode. If that setting was disabled, the apps would be closed when entering in rest mode, and the downloads would proceed at full speed. The PS4 doesn't make it very obvious exactly what programs are running. For games, the interaction model is that opening a new game closes the previously running one. This is not how other apps work; they remain in the background indefinitely until you explicitly close them. So, FreeBSD and its network stack are not to blame Sony used a poor method to try to keep downloads from interfering with your gameplay The impact of changing the receive window is highly dependant upon RTT, so it doesn't work as evenly as actual traffic shaping or queueing would. An interesting deep dive, it is well worth reading the full article and checking out the graphs *** OpenSSH 7.6 Released (http://www.openssh.com/releasenotes.html#7.6) From the release notes: This release includes a number of changes that may affect existing configurations: ssh(1): delete SSH protocol version 1 support, associated configuration options and documentation. ssh(1)/sshd(8): remove support for the hmac-ripemd160 MAC. ssh(1)/sshd(8): remove support for the arcfour, blowfish and CAST Refuse RSA keys

From climbingthesevensummits.com/mike-hamill "Mike Hamill is a 6-time Everest summiteer, world-class mountain guide, and author. He oversees every CTSS expedition. A veteran climber, Mike has built his vast experience over twenty years as a senior mountain guide across all seven continents. Known as the foremost expert, he authored the book “Climbing the Seven Summits” and has made 6 laps of the acclaimed Seven Summits mountaineering challenge. In 2008 he completes the circuit in just over 200 days. An adventurer by nature, Mike has skied to the South Pole, cycled unsupported across the United States, competed at a national level as a Nordic skier and is an ultramarathoner, cyclist, traveler, and philanthropist. He began his climbing career on the steep rock and ice of New England and New York State while obtaining a bachelor of science from St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York. He is originally from Hanover, New Hampshire, and Bridgton, Maine. His love for the mountains and adventure continues to compel him to travel the globe and connect with the local mountain communities, particularly the Sherpa of the Khumbu region. This bond was his impetus in creating the “Tiger of the Snows Fund” a not-for-profit that provides grants to further education of mountain tourism workers and their families. Mike is a familiar and well-respected face in the mountaineering community. He is passionate about imparting his knowledge, skills, and experience to inspire others to harness their full potential in the mountains."
