Tabula Rosa Systems Blog for 1/19/2018 - A New Portmanuteau



Recently, I was having a conversation with Ariel Evans, the CEO of Innosec http://www.innosec.com She mentioned a portmanteau term I had not previously heard and was not referenced in either of my Netiquette books (see below).

The term was "emeet" which refers to a meeting made by electronic communication. I wanted to bring this term out and recommend using the syntax I suggest.

Tabula Rosa Systems Blog Of 1/17.18 Transport Layer Security (TLS)




====================================================








====================================================





Transport Layer Security (TLS)
Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a protocol that provides privacy and data integrity between two communicating applications. It's the most widely deployed security protocol used today, and is used for Web browsers and other applications that require data to be securely exchanged over a network, such as file transfers, VPN connections, instant messaging and voice over IP.
TLS evolved from Netscape's Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol and has largely superseded it, although the terms SSL or SSL/TLS are still sometimes used. Key differences between SSL and TLS that make TLS a more secure and efficient protocol are message authentication, key material generation and the supported cipher suites, with TLS supporting newer and more secure algorithms. TLS and SSL are not interoperable, though TLS currently provides some backward compatibility in order to work with legacy systems.
According to the protocol specification, TLS is composed of two layers: the TLS Record Protocol and the TLS Handshake Protocol. The Record Protocol provides connection security, while the Handshake Protocol allows the server and client to authenticate each other and to negotiate encryption algorithms and cryptographic keys before any data is exchanged.
The IETF officially took over the SSL protocol to standardize it with an open process and released version 3.1 of SSL in 1999 as TLS 1.0. The protocol was renamed TLS to avoid legal issues with Netscape, which developed the SSL protocol as a key feature part of its original Web browser. The last update for the TLS protocol (TLS 1.2) was issued in 2008. Since that time, the specification has undergone several changes as new issues with the protocol have been discovered.
A draft for TLS 1.3 was issued in 2014 and the new version of the protocol, which is expected to be finalized in 2018, is expected to add several features that will help improve security, including support for Perfect Forward Secrecy and the pruning of obsolete and insecure algorithms. TLS 1.3 is also expected to speed up performance by simplifying the handshake process for encrypted connections.

Commonly Confused Words

by Richard Nordquist from thoughtco.com

Updated September 25, 2017
In formal English, quotation is a noun (as in "a quotation from Shakespeare") and quote is a verb ("She likes to quote Shakespeare"). However, in everyday speech and informal English, quote is often treated as a shortened form of quotation.
Definitions
The noun quotation refers to a group of words taken from a text or speech and repeated by someone other than the original author or speaker.
  • An indirect quotation is a paraphrase of someone else's words: it reports on what a person said without using his or her exact words. Indirect quotations are not placed inside quotation marks.
The verb quote means to repeat a group of words originally written or spoken by another person. In informal speech and writing, quote is sometimes used as a shortened form of the noun quotation. See usage notes below.
Examples
  • "She remembered a quotation she'd read recently, the words of H.L. Mencken: 'Nothing can come out of an artist that is not in the man.'"
    (Hilary Sloin, Art on Fire. Bywater, 2012)
     
  • "Relying on numerous interviews of parents and children with a wide range of skin colors, [Lori] Tharps proves the quotation by the social scientist Frank Sulloway to be painfully true: 'No social injustice is felt more deeply than that suffered within one's own family.'"
    (Allyson Hobbs, "I'm Not the Nanny: Multiracial Families and Colorism." The New York Times, November 3, 2016)
     
  • "Many times I have wanted to quote Topsy, the young black girl in Uncle Tom's Cabin. I have been tempted to say, 'I dunno. I just growed.'"
    (Maya Angelou, Mom & Me & Mom. Random House, 2013)
     
  • "[V]ery few quotes in newspapers are completely accurate in the sense of being faithful to the false starts and hesitancies of the spoken word."
    (Ian Jack, "Should We Quote Swear Words? I'm Not Sure They're Absolutely Necessary." The Guardian [UK], September 20, 2013)

Usage Notes
  • "The noun quote, short for quotation, was first recorded in 1888. ... This sense of quote has met with strong disapproval in some quarters. Such commentators as Bernstein 1965, Follett 1966, Shaw 1977, and Trimmer & McCrimmon 1988 have disparaged its use in writing, and the Heritage 1969, 1982 usage panel rejected it by a large majority (the 2000 panel has lightened up). Some other critics, however, have taken a more tolerant view. Harper 1985, for example, accepts its use in writing that has 'a conversational tone,' and Bremner 1980 calls it 'standard in the publishing business.'

    "The noun quote is now widely used in standard if mostly casual writing, ... but there are still times when it seems most appropriate to choose quotation instead. We recommend that you let your own judgment of the writing situation and your sense of idiom be your guide."
    (Merriam-Webster's Concise Dictionary of English Usage, 2002)
  • "The problem with quotation is that, to the writer who hopes to deliver goods quickly, the three syllables sound and read as if they were slowing the sentence down. The single syllable of quote, meanwhile, sounds apt to such a writer. And it sounds more and more natural all the time, as it seems to predominate in spoken English. So although it remains informal for now, it's gaining ground in formal prose."
    (Bryan A. Garner, Garner's Modern English Usage, 4th ed. Oxford University Press, 2016) (a) Melinda begins each of her essays with a familiar quotation.

    (b) When he can't think of an answer, Gus likes to quote a song lyric.

Tabula Rosa Systems Systems Blog Of 1/16/2018 - Latin Abbreviations



====================================================








====================================================




A.M. stands for ante meridiem and is sometimes abbreviated a.m. or am. A.M. means before noon and refers to morning. It starts just after midnight.
P.M.
P.M. stands for post meridiem and is sometimes abbreviated p.m. or pm. P.M. refers to afternoon and evening. P.M. starts just after noon.
Etc.
The very familiar Latin abbreviation etc. stands for et cetera 'and the rest' or 'and so forth'. In English, we use the word etcetera or et cetera without necessarily being aware it is actually Latin.
If you want to say 'for example,' you would use 'e.g.' Here is an example:
  • Some of the Julio-Claudian emperors, e.g., Caligula, were said to be insane.
I.E.
If you want to say 'that is,' you would use 'i.e.' Here is an example:
  • The last of the Julio-Claudians, i.e., Nero....
In Citations
Ibid
Ibid., from ibidem means 'the same' or 'in the same place.' You would use ibid.
to refer to the same author and work (e.g., book, html page, or journal article) as the one immediately preceding.
Op. Cit.
Op. cit. comes from the Latin opus citatum or opere citato 'work cited.' Op. cit. is used when ibid. is inappropriate because the immediately preceding work is not the same. You would only use op.
cit. if you have already cited the work in question.
Et Seq.
To refer to a certain page or passage and those that follow it, you may find the abbreviation 'et seq.' This abbreviation ends in a period. 
Sc.
The abbreviation sc. or scil. means 'namely'. Wikipedia says it is in the process of being replaced by i.e.
Latin Abbreviations of Comparison q.v. and c.f.
You would use q.v. if you wanted to make reference to something elsewhere in your paper; while
c.f. would be more appropriate for a comparison with an outside work.
