Christmas is upon us once again. How time flies! This Christmas season, many of us are looking forward to take some time off from work for that much needed vacation, while others are anticipating being with family and friends to celebrate it. To most adults, it means parties, shopping and celebration. To many children, Christmas means long vacation from school, new dresses and presents.
To us at MEANS, Christmas is a season of giving to our partners as they serve those who are not as fortunate as we are.
Help and Share this Christmas. At Christmas, we want to remember our independent missionaries who have been laboring in the mission field, working among children-at-risk, embracing them with the love of Christ, by serving them and providing education, food, clothing and shelter. We want to bless them and through them share our goods to the poor, the marginalized children, and those who are at risk for child labor and prostitution.
Help and Share with children at risk. One of our missionaries, who recently witnessed the wedding of a 15 year old girl who lived with them since she was six years old, said “she longs for them to be blessed and have a bright future.” Having stayed in Maesot, Thailand, a border town near Myanmar, for 12 years as an independent missionary, with no scheduled vacation time, our four (4) Filipina independent missionaries has remained faithful after they started Elpis School, a school for migrant children. They invited girls at risk to live with them in Faith Haus, their mission and guest house. Some of these girls have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior through their witness.
Help and Share with the poor. For two years now, MEANS has focused to obey the biblical mandate in Micah 6:8. We do this by embracing projects that will express our passion to act justly, love mercy and to walk humbly before God. We have forged partnership with ministries that work among the poor, those who are involved in feeding malnourished children, caring for the environment through care of creation, medical/dental/vision care, leadership training, and read-to-grow projects. Through the Read-to-Grow project we have helped our ministry partners in providing Christian books and Tagalog bibles (Old and New Testament) for use in their ministries. We had recently provided 2,800 Tagalog Bibles to high school students.
Help and Share with your resources. We have also started a relationship with ministries that are working in difficult areas in southern Philippines. It is always a joy to hear reports about the expansion of the Kingdom of God in those areas. Early this year, we sent 5,000 stuffed toys to flood victim children in Cagayan de Oro, Mindanao, Philippines.
Help and Share for a great causes this Christmas. Small Steps. Big Impact.
4. $ 10.00 for 2 pairs of Flip-Flops – To help provide 2 Pairs of Flip-flops for 2 children in need.
5. $10.00 Helping Student Center in Muslim community – to help in the job training for Muslim students in the community.
Most of the projects I have mentioned are focused on the new unreached generation, the 4/14 window generation. A missiologist calls this the new “unreached people group.” These are children who make decision for Christ between the ages of 4 and 14. There is a great urgency to reach them for the gospel of Christ, because it is between those ages that they are most open to Christianity. Over one-third of the world’s population, 1.8 billion children, is under the age of 15. One and a half billion of them—almost 85 percent—live in the Two Thirds World. What a challenge to all of us to reach out to them with the gospel before they slip from our fingers!
May God bless you richly this Christmas season.

SynTao Green Finance Supported the Launch of the Roadmap for Sustainable Finance in Sri Lanka The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) launched the Roadmap for Sustainable Finance in Sri Lanka (“the Roadmap”) on April 10, 2019 at the Sustainable Banking Network (SBN) Global Meeting. Commissioned by UNDP BIOFIN and with IFC as the technical advisor, SynTao Green Finance provided technical assistance in the Roadmap development. After a mission to Sri Lanka in September 2018, SynTao Green Finance spent a few months on drafting the Roadmap.
Top Ten Responsible Investment Trends in China in 2019 With the rapid development of responsible investment in China over recent years, the responsible investment concept, in a broad sense, including green finance, environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) and impact investment, is increasingly recognized and accepted by Chinese financial institutions. SynTao Green Finance and China Social Investment Forum (China SIF) jointly released the Top Ten Responsible Investment Trends in China in 2019, which may be useful for various stakeholders in observing trends in China.
The 6th China SIF Annual Conference Successfully Hosted, ESG Investment to Represent a New Development Concept On December 4th, the 6th China Social Investment Forum (SIF) Annual Conference took place in Futian, Shenzhen. As a leading event in responsible investment field, the annual conference attracted guests from both international and domestic industry leaders and practitioners, experts and scholars, other than regulatory bodies.
SynTao Green Finance Verifies China’s First Green Asset Backed Note On April 24th, Beijing Enterprise Water Group (China) Investment Limited (hereafter referred to as “The issuer” or “BEWG”) has successfully issued its first asset backed note (hereafter referred to as “ABN”) in 2017, for which SynTao Green Finance delivered an independent verification as a third party. The 2 billion RMB senior tranche of the 2.1 billion ABN is rated as AAA level. The duration of this ABN is 7 years and the interest rate for the first level of senior tranche is 3.8%.
SynTao Green Finance provides verification to the 1st corporate green panda bond On Aug 1st, Beijing Enterprises Water Group Limited (00371.HK) issued the first corporate green panda bond in China with an issuance of RMB 700 m (USD 105 m). SynTao Green Finance, as a third party verifier, provided assessment and verification to the bond. “The issuance of the corporate green panda bond indicates various potential types of green bond and the expansion trend of the green bond market, which contribute a lot to the establishment of China’s green finance system.”, said Ms. Tracy Cai, the CEO of SynTao Green Finance.
Financial market is towards fully integrating ESG in its business process, as a way to mitigate risks, achieve long-term return, and contribute to sustainable development of the world as a whole.
Green Bonds are any type of bond instrument where the proceeds will be exclusively applied to finance or re-finance, in part or in full, new and/or existing eligible green projects.

The settlement of a family´s claim for a fatal sedative overdose in hospital has been approved following a hearing in the High Court.
The claim concerned the death of Margaret Duggan (69) from Screen in County Wexford, who died just eight days after being admitted to St. Vincent´s Hospital in Dublin on 11th December 2009 suffering from an abdominal pain.
Despite suffering from multiple sclerosis, Margaret was not considered to be in serious ill-health, but throughout the first few days of her stay in hospital she was administered inappropriate doses of medication to calm her down whenever she became upset or agitated.
Margaret subsequently developed aspiration pneumonia and a failure to treat once the condition was identified led to her suffering a cardiac arrest soon after being moved to intensive care.
At the High Court, Ms Justice Mary Irvine heard that Margaret´s widower – William Duggan – and her three children had made a claim for a fatal sedative overdose in hospital after William suffered from severe shock on hearing the news of his wife´s death.
It was also alleged in the family´s action that his condition had been exacerbated by the hospital´s insensitivity at requesting an immediate post-mortem without giving the family any explanation of how Margaret´s death occurred.
A subsequent investigation resulted in St Joseph´s Hospital admitting that Margaret´s death could have been avoided were it not for the negligent treatment she received, and an offer of compensation for a fatal sedative overdose was made to the family amounting to €110,000.
After hearing the circumstances of Margaret´s death, and that the family were prepared to accept the proposed settlement of their claim for a fatal sedative overdose in hospital, Ms Justice Mary Irvine approved the settlement, saying to William Duggan, “It must have been very traumatic to arrive in the hospital after her death. I hope as the years go by the loss lessens”.
A High Court judge has approved a settlement of compensation for a lack of medical treatment which resulted in the death of a woman from County Mayo.
The claim for compensation had been made against the Health Service Executive (HSE) by the family of Eileen Maloney (69) from Pullathomas in County Mayo – a mother of thirteen who had attended the Mayo General Hospital in February 2009 complaining of severe abdominal pains.
Eileen was admitted into Mayo General Hospital after a small obstacle in her small bowel was indicated on an X-ray. However, no doctor was available to review the x-ray for the possibility of a perforated bowel as it was a Sunday when Eileen was admitted.
It was not until the following Thursday that Eileen underwent a CT scan – which in it was revealed that a tumour had developed within Eileen´s bowel – but again this scan went unreviewed for the possibility of a perforation.
Despite suffering from cancer and being in constant pain, Eileen did not undergo surgery until the following week and died five days later. Following an investigation, it was claimed by Eileen´s family that had her condition been correctly identified and promptly treated when she was first admitted into the hospital, her death would not have occurred.
The family made a claim for compensation for lack of medical treatment resulting in death, alleging that they had suffered avoidable mental anguish due to the negligence of Mayo General Hospital and the HSE.
Under the terms if the agreement, the HSE will pay Eileen´s family €50,000 compensation for lack of medical treatment resulting in death without admission of liability. After hearing the circumstances of the case and that the family were satisfied with the agreement, Mr Justice Michael Peart approved the settlement, adding his sympathy for the family´s loss.

- UPS, for platform controlled power up/down and instrument asset protection.
- 24U 19" free rack space for integration of third party equipment.
The 6TL-24 is the Base platform ideal for Combinational test (ICT+FCT) in low to mid volume, high-mix electronics productions.
A dual-stage pushing mechanism will allow performing both, the FCT and the ICT test, without the need of changing the test platform and with a low cost fixturing technology. To do so, the exchangeable cassette fixture must be designed with two-level probes. IN the 6TL24, the second level is reached thanks to a pneumatic actuator.
6TL offers a fully configured Combinational Test Platform, able to perform the most common electronics testing technologies (ICT, FCT, BS and ISP) out of the box. Ask for P/N H71002470 for more information about this configuration.

This Private Residence was designed by The Bazeley Partnership to replace an existing dwelling on a stunning site. The previous dwelling that once occupied the site was of a typically 1950s style and construction. Both it and the adjacent car port had little architectural merit, nor were they worthy of retention or repair. Their appearance was considered to be inappropriate within the wider context and was of detrimental appearance to the surrounding area. A condition survey of the existing dwelling established that there were fundamental constructional issues with the structure and that it was not economically viable or desirable to retain and refurbish.
Our client wished to replace these dilapidated buildings a new two storey dwelling and separate garage building. It was designed to be sympathetic to the surrounding area and was inspired by the Arts & Crafts style and work of CF Voysey.
The residence makes extensive use of traditional stonework architectural features in cut granite. The exterior walls were finished in a more roughly textured granite ashlar stone set on a black brick plinth. Within the basement of the residence, there is a wine cellar.

During European trades, the euro/dollar fell to 1.1255 due to weak Eurozone inflation data. The definitive April CPI fell 0.2% YoY and was 0.0% MoM (previous: 1.5%). The ECB will now need to continue its fight against deflation, thereby negatively affecting the euro.
The GBP rose from a 1.4402 minimum to 1.4555 (+153 points). It definitely didn’t strengthen against the dollar and other key currencies because of the UK labour market data. Such sharp unexpected fluctuations happen when preliminary survey results regarding a Brexit are published, or when an act of terrorism takes place. There was no act of terrorism and no news out. Probably, the number of Brits wanting to remain in the EU increased. We’ll find out about that later. According to recent data, those wanting to stay are at 55%. The further hastening of the pound led to the fall in the euro/pound cross.
The pound gathered pace. It could stop at its current 1.4550 level, just as it could rise to 1.4580 whilst the crosses are supporting it. The market is now incorporating a soft-toned set of Fed minutes into prices. I’m not bothering on forecasting tonight’s movements. It’s better to stay off the market until Thursday.

What do you do with a huge terra cotta pot that is cracked; cracks too large to hold anything major in the pot!
Hmmmm...I also had numerous shards from other pots too! I have been a gardener all my life; more years than I want to admit.
But I have had a recent interest in growing succulents, so the idea for my 'Broken Terra Cotta Succulent Pot Project' was born.
I traded some plant cuttings I had been rooting here south of Houston, Texas with another gardener who had succulent cuttings in California. She sent me a large box full of cuttings, I had read about letting them 'harden off', and I was ready.
This evening I completed my project, I hope you like it. I do, even though I don't know the names of any of the plants I used.
Your pot is gorgeous, Mary. In this case, it doesn't even matter what the names of the plants are, just that they're happy and healthy. You can be proud of this one!

Do you ever leave social situations feeling drained? You had an awesome time but after being around a lot of people you feel empty inside? If you answered yes to those two questions more than likely you’re an introvert. I’m an introvert too so I understand how you feel, and that’s why we’re talking about self care and how important it is, especially for introverts.
I recently took a road trip to Kansas City, Missouri to visit my sister and her family. I was there with my niece and Dalton for a full week. We had an amazing time hanging out together and just being with each other. But a week later when I came home I was feeling drained and empty.
As an introvert it’s hard not to feel guilty when you need to take time for yourself. Can I encourage you to combat these feelings because this time is imperative for your emotional wellbeing.
I understand how it feels to see extroverts who thrive off of being around the energy of other people and then you leave a social situation feeling drained. The guilt quickly overtakes and you wish you could be that way.
But, friend, that’s not the way God made you. He made you exactly the way you are, exactly the way He wants you to be.
I love what Psalm 139:13-14 says, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made…” So if you’re a fellow introvert and feel like there’s something wrong with you, know that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you when you feel drained or empty inside.
Years ago I worked with the student ministry at my church. I would go away for weekend retreats or to camp for the week. It was so much fun but when I came home I was drained after giving all that I had to those students. I knew I needed to reenergize and take time for myself.
You need to do the same, friend. When you’re feeling drained or empty inside it’s time to reenergize and take care of yourself.
For me, reenergizing means sitting in my room by myself and quietly watching a tv show, reading a book, or going outside and enjoying nature. But each each of us is wired differently so reenergizing will likely look different for all of us.
And let me just take a minute to talk to those of us that are moms, because we don’t do a very good job taking care of ourselves. I get it, you may feel selfish, think that your family needs you and that your time is better spent with them. But can I just tell you that your family needs you to take the time to recharge your batteries so that you can be the best you possible not only for them but for yourself.
If you haven’t already, explain to your spouse that you need time to yourself.
When Trent was asking me all of those questions about my road trip and I had to apologize and tell him I just couldn’t share right then, he totally understood because we had talked about it before and he knows I need time to myself.
So what’s the next step for you?
Maybe you need to carve out some time in your schedule this week for yourself. Is it time to sit down with your spouse and tell him how very important it is for you to reenergize when you’re feeling drained? Or quite possibly it’s been so long since you had time to yourself that you don’t know what that looks like. Find a good book, tv show, go to your favorite coffee shop or dress store – figure out whatever tickles your fancy and do it!
Self care is very important for those of us that are introverts and makes us better people. Take care of yourself, recharge your batteries and don’t feel guilty about it!
Dear Mom who can’t seem to get everything done!
Does my life really have purpose?

but the shortage of digital skills is threatening to derail our position as a dominant force in IT.
The UK, at any one time, is facing a shortfall of around 40,000 people with the necessary skills to meet the demand of the digital economy. The British Chamber of Commerce released a study in 2017, which highlighted that 75 percent of UK businesses reported a digital skills shortage in their employee base.
There have been many initiatives aimed at addressing this problem with varying degrees of success, but in the six years since the skills gap was first identified, it still dogs the UK technology market.
An estimated 40 per cent of businesses are choosing to hire younger, more digitally knowledgeable employees to address the digital skills gap rather than train up mid-level employees.
But many younger people including NEETs (Not in Employment, Education or Training) may not have been exposed to the digital skills being sought by employers, limiting their opportunities to land sustainable work.
We have a course that can help give these people the digital skills needed by employers.

The DEN would like too preface this by saying that gender categorization is certainly NOT our intention. We fully acknowledge that while many people prefer to identify as 'male' or 'female', there are also many others who do not. And then there are some males who would rather not wear traditionally male clothing, and some females who would rather not wear traditionally female clothing. And we say, more power to you! It is also a fact that non-binary individuals can and should choose to dress however they want to, as can anyone else for that matter! The 'tips' shown on this page are merely descriptions for people who wanted to know about the traditional (aka prehistoric) dress codes that they weren't too sure about.
Indeed, with all these dress codes, anyone can wear whatever they feel most comfortable wearing.
The most formal dress code at The DEN.
Reserved for VIP dignitaries and important events.
Recommended, but not mandatory, for the New Year’s Eve Yule Ball (YB2).
This is crystal clear for men—wear a tuxedo. It’s a little more complicated for women, who can technically wear anything from a long dress to dressy separates to a formal cocktail dress. The best way to figure out what to wear is to dress according to what you expect the host to wear. Alternative to white tie at YB2. Default black jacket with black tie, unless specifically stated otherwise. Foolproof Outfit: A long gown for women and a black tuxedo for men.
Mandatory at the Annual DEN Burns Supper, where kilts are optional, which is held annually at The DEN on the closest Friday to January 25th.
Men, for instance, should feel free to wear a black shirt or a red bow tie—something other than the cookie-cutter penguin suit.
Women are similarly encouraged to take their look less seriously.
The dress code that allows you to have fun. Still confused? Think trendy black tie. Often it’s a “1920s Black Tie” or “Texas Black Tie” theme, or something relating to the venue, such as a Zoo or Art Museum. Foolproof Outfit: A formal-but-trendy gown for women and a tuxedo with a black shirt for men. Although black tie has not been recommended for DEN Trivia Nights yet, our themed nights, e.g. Harry Potter, Star Wars, Disney etc, will soon become creative black tie optional especially when we are fundraising.
One of the murkier dress codes, men are given the option of either wearing a tuxedo or a dark suit and a tie. Because men are given the option of dressing in a more casual manner, the dress code is more open for women too, who can wear anything from a long dress to a cocktail number. Think of it like this: You aren’t expected to look as if you’re en route the Oscars, but you should still make an effort with formal attire.
Foolproof Outfit: An ankle-grazing dress and statement jewelry for women and a black suit with a bow tie for men. The ‘optional’ classification may be applied to other dress codes, such as creative black tie.
For guys, this dress code calls for a dark suit with a tie. For women, short dresses that are party-ready. When in doubt, wear a little black dress and dress it up with fun jewelry—or, if you’d rather wear color, opt for something bright and fun.
Foolproof Outfit: LBD for women and a suit and tie for men. The DEN does plan to host a variety of cocktail parties, usually with a certain period theme, such as Mad Men or ‘The Twenties’.
A dress code that tends to pop up on invitations around the holidays, festive attire is similar to cocktail attire, but with a holiday bent—say a sparkly sequin dress or a red satin skirt.
Foolproof Outfit: A sequin party dress for women and a suit and holiday-themed tie for men. The DEN will certainly suggest this for most events around the holidays.
The dress code suggestion at many daytime semi-formal events (particularly work lunches and conferences), this dress code calls for a suit and tie for the guys and a tailored dress or a pantsuit for women. The idea is to wear something business appropriate that also feels dressed-up.
Foolproof Outfit: A pantsuit for women and a suit and tie for men.
Most corporate offices have a dress code that calls for business casual. For women, pants and a blazer, or a pencil skirt and a fun blouse is the way to go. Guys can wears slacks or chinos and a collared shirt. Absolutely no jeans or sneakers.
Foolproof Outfit: Black trousers and a tweed blazer for women and khaki pants and a collared shirt (tucked in) for men.
This dress code calls for a just slightly dressier version of your most casual look. For women, dress up your go-to pair of pants with a fun pair of ankle boots, add heels to elevate flared jeans, or pair a jumpsuit with a collared shirt. For guys, dress up your favorite pair of jeans with a blazer and you’ll be good to go.
Foolproof Outfit: Black pants, a blouse, and ankle boots for women, and jeans and a sport coat for men. Recommended when attending DEN Open Houses, which are usually every 2-3 months.
Anything goes in this case, including jeans and sneakers, and this dress code usually means you’ll be uncomfortable in anything too dressy.
Foolproof Outfit: Jeans and sneakers for men and women. Often the normal dress code for people attending DEN Tournaments, such as ping pong, archery or chess.

I agree pre. With that kind of handling with a remote control, he must be awesome.
Woow! he's got some kewl skills there! That's really neat.
Skillful pilot to say the least. Something a Palmer might aspire to achieve!
My guess is that there is some kind of computer in the airplane that accurately manages the engine and wings based on basic input from the remote. I.e. there is a 'hover' button on the remote which when swithed tells the in-plane computer to do a hovering.
And how would that work Enselic? Messure the altitude of the plane to know it's not going up or down? I think it's a light plane, skilled pilot and strong enginge. Don't belive it's realistic (or allowed) to have a computer do all that in a modellplanecompetition.
All i can say is damn. He's got some real skills.
I'm surprised that there's no "that must be !" comments under this video ;) Awesome!!!
It would have been cooler if it was all autonomous (with no human input) and if he had stayed with the song a bit more.
DO A BARREL ROLL! That was awesome, though.
Its not , he is not cheating with a computer ... its skills.
yes those are skills. It is just a Balsa wood aircraft or styrofoam with a powerfull electric engine. The man has skills at flying it. He is very knowledgable of the controls and has countless hours of training time flying them. No computer gadgets, just plane O'l skills with the remote control sticks. The amazing thing is that he is able to gain that much control inside an auditorium. That is the amazing part.
It may be more difficult to fly a small model than it is to actually be a pilot inside the cockpit of a stunt plane. When actually piloting a plane, there is a certain "feel" for the plane that you have which would not be present when flying a model. The operator is beyond any skill level that I have ever seen.
Damn plane can dance better than me. I loved the hover feature, really awesome.
seems like you have to have the mind of a "portal"-player. The different directions and dimensions must freak the brain out!
until you've tried flying ANY type of r/c aircraft,you ain't ever gonna appreciate the difficulty and just how good this guy is.
How to download videos.plz help any one.

Ronnie Moore has made another breakthrough in the transfer market by completing the signing of exciting winger Kudus Oyenuga.
The 22-year-old joins the Club after being released by Dundee United at the end of last season and becomes the eighth new face to arrive at Victoria Park during the summer.
A graduate of Tottenham Hotspur’s Academy, Oyenuga signed a two-year deal at White Hart Lane in 2011 before gaining experience with loan spells in Finland and with Bury and St. Johnstone.
In 2012 the powerful wide man moved in to non-league with Hayes & Yeading where he quickly got among the goals to catch the eye of Dundee United who signed him in 2013.
Last term he enjoyed a successful loan spell with Scottish Championship outfit Cowdenbeath for whom he scored five goals from the wing.
Moore has revealed in recent weeks that he is keen to add two wingers to his squad so Oyenuga marks the first piece of progress on that front for the Pools boss.

The Good Companion is a book by the writer J B Priestley. The boom was published in 1929 and it was published by the publishing house of William Heinemann. This book won James Tait Black Memorial Prize and it is regarded as the best book of the author. Written about the concept party in England during the period that took place between World War 1 and World War 2, this book has led to the production of two movies that were inspired by this book. In the end of this article, download The Good Companions Pdf Free.
The Good Companions tell the story of Jess who is a middle-aged person. He is content with his life and decides to go on a road trip to find meaning in life. He lives in the town of Bruddersford, which is a fictional town made up by the writer in Yorkshire. Throughout the trip, the protagonist finds two companions, one of whom is a teacher at the private school and the other one is an upper-middle-class spinster. The three become the part of a troupe in which different people play different instruments and travel through the different parts of England. One of the events is sabotaged and a result of this, the band breaks up. Everyone goes on their own routes and Jess goes to Canada.
The Good Companions became a hit when it came out. It was very popular among the readers for many decades. After a while, it lost its popularity because the concept of traveling around in troupes had long disappeared and also the content is quite old fashioned and not for the modern readers. However, it is still read by those people who have interest in old style books. Both the movies that were made on the book also received appraise from the audience.

Viola Mae Durant McCurtain was born on Jan 29, 1920, to Jonas Durant and Wesleyann Washington Durant, both full blood Choctaws.
Born in the McCurtain area, she is the youngest of all her siblings. She attended a small school in the McCurtain area when she was a young girl. When she was 10-years-old, she began school at Wheelock, where she was not allowed to speak in her native Choctaw language.
Though the school administration strongly discouraged her from using the language, Viola would not let her native tongue be taken. "I imagine the school teachers had a time with me," said Viola.
She attended Wheelock for nine years. She missed one year in the middle because her parents did not get her back to the school after a break. She did not get many breaks in her time at the Academy other than that. From September to May she would attend with no breaks, not even Christmas.
While at Wheelock, Viola spends her time doing her duties. All of the students had different chores to do around the grounds. All over the campus, children of all ages would be sweeping and cleaning to keep the facilities looking nice.
Other than learning discipline and how to clean, Viola and her fellow students learned to weave baskets from a woman who came from Broken Bow and spoke Choctaw to Viola. She learned beading as well.
She sang in the choir and even led the Choctaw hymns. Viola and the choir would travel to different churches and sing for them.
Viola made her dressed for her senior formal as well as her graduation. She learned those skills in her home economics class.
Her friend, Aline Swink Ward from McAlester, played basketball together. Aline would play guard while Viola played forward. The played Gavin, Hayworth and Valiant.
While she was in junior high, the school took in two twins who had been orphaned. The administration taught the older girls how to care for the children and by the time Viola was in high school, she was taking care of them as well.
Upon leaving Wheelock Academy, Viola was 19-years-old. She wished to attend McCurtain School, but due to some family and money issues she ended up at National Youth Association in Stigler. She would go for two weeks and go how for two weeks while she was paid to go to school there.
She attended that school for a few months before getting married to Oscar Otis McCuratin on May 4, 1940 at a county church called Siloam Spring United Methodist Church just outside of Stigler.
There were only a handful of people to witness the then 20-year-old Viola be wed. Oscar had a child with a previous marriage that Viola wished to raise, but Oscar's former wife was doing that duty.
Oscar was thirty when they married and he was working in McCurtain. The couple had two children together during their marriage.
Oscar joined the military in 1942 and went to Germany. He sustained an ankle injury and was a prisoner of war for around six months. While he was gone, his son Oscar Jr. was born.
When Oscar returned from the service the couple got a truck. Viola learned how to drive on a country road outside of McCurtain. Oscar did various jobs like farming and haying when he returned as well.
The couple used to go dancing at country-dances in people's homes. They enjoyed square dancing, round dancing and the waltz. Viola had been taught to dance in her younger days and dancing had been in her life from an early age.
She used to know the Choctaw dances as well as other native ways of dancing.
Oscar went to school on a G.I. Bill in Okmulgee. The couple rented a place and stayed for about a year before moving back to McAlester for Oscar to work in the ammunition depot located in the area.
They later moved to Talihina in 1956 to work for the hospital and worked there in housekeeping until his retirement in the early 1070s.
Viola stayed in the home while Oscar worked. She did small jobs such as a school aid and nutrition for low-income families.
Oscar passed away in 2000 from a heart attack. Since then Viola has attended the events at the Choctaw Community Center. She has taken part in many crafts such as crochet, basketry and beading while with the center.

I’m currently a third of the way through the story of Kvothe, as narrated by the same in The Kingskiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss. The first book in the series, The Name of The Wind, tells the story of Kvothe’s early life as he comes to explain how he has transformed from the larger than life character quoted above to an innkeeper apparently hiding away in the middle of nowhere, revealing his identity only to his assistant Bast.
The first novel is an quirky mix of folkloric motifs; hero journeys, tricksters and legends of demi gods sprinkled liberally with magic, music and monsters to create an exciting fantasy novel, with the perfect amount of shake up of roles and subverting of expectations to keep it modern and compelling.I was a bit peeved when it ended, because you’re left waiting to go into day two and hear the rest of the story, I was enjoying it so much. But as you can see, when the second day arrives there will be plenty to read. The second novel is even meatier than the first so if it’s just as well written I’ll be a happy young lady.
If you’re looking for a well written fantasy series to get your teeth into then I would definitely recommend these books. I’m currently part way through a Charles Dickens biography (which is also a monster…) but I can’t wait to start the second book in the series, The Wise Man’s Fear.

Literary fan fiction is nothing new and has spawned some interesting and imaginative offerings. Think The Wide Sargasso Sea Jean Rhys’ parallel novel to Jane Eyre,Gregory Maguire’s Wicked, The Penelopiad Margret Atwood’s retelling of the Odyssey or my particular favourite, Rebecca’s Tale, by Sally Beauman. These tributes are fantastically constructed works in their own right, widely different in concept and which stand alone as works of art.
You also get your concept spin-offs, which don’t necessarily link to the original work, but very often rip the skeleton from it and pad it out. They often seem to me like authors pin pointing what has worked well for another author and rehashing it in their own work. Think the numerous novels heavily based on Pride and Prejudice thinly veiled by smoke screens of time, location etc. I never seem to enjoy these books however well they are written because they feel a little bit predictable, at best like de ja vu.
But for me there’s a new trend emerging and I find it a little irritating. I’m sure it’s been around for a long time, but as a publishing cash cow it’s becoming worryingly prevalent if you’re looking for something new to read- especially in the Young Adult market. I’m talking of course about the minor character spin offs from major fiction franchises which might also be termed “the money spinner spin-off”. From Stephanie Meyer’s Short Second Life of Bree Tanner (which raised money for the American Red Cross in the US but as far as I’m aware was not affiliated with a charity in the UK/ROW market) to Lauren Kate’s Fallen in Love, publishers of young adult fiction seem to be churning out these books whenever they have a profitable series. And is it a coincidence they coincide with present buying seasons like Christmas and Valentine’s Day?
What I want to know is, have or would any of you read such a book? And if you have, did it feel like money well spent or as if you’d been short-changed?

In addition to my obsession with Alice in Wonderland, I have an obsession with The Wizard of Oz. In fact, my love of the Merry Old Land of Oz came first. When I was a toddler I would force my parents to play the video two or three times a day, I had a black rabbit called Dorothy and a little white guinea pig called Scarecrow, there are videos of me singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow before I could properly walk in a voice which sounds strangely like Donald Duck. Imagine, a tiny little Donald Duck with blonde curls and a Welsh accent. Chilling, isn’t it?
Anyway, where I’m headed with this is, that when I heard about Gregory Maguire’s Wicked and the musical adaptation I was very excited. I hadn’t heard of either until the musical came to the West End, but my boyfriend bought me the novel in the summer of 2006 ahead of the musical arriving, and for my 21st birthday I was promised tickets to the show… which didn’t materialise until my 26th birthday, but wow, it was worth the five-year wait.
The plot of the musical differed from the plot of the book in many ways (as I explained to my poor boyfriend during the interval, he received something of an academic lecture on the differences) but ultimately to make the plot suitable for a musical and family audience. The book was quite political and adult in places, so it’s been simplified and sweetened, but ultimately the spirit of the piece remained intact so I was happy. The only thing I didn’t really see the need for was the shift in Fiyero’s character. He starts off in the musical with a lot more swagger than I remember and I just thought it was a bit unnecessary. Otherwise, I loved it. Loved the costumes, loved the songs, loved the set and loved the performances.
I’m definitely getting myself the soundtrack, and maybe even a beautifully tragic t-shirt. It seems appropriate.
en that I’m still on crutches, my boyfriend supplemented the 21st birthday present with a stay in a nice hotel opposite Fortnum and Mason, and even treated my macaroon addiction. Yum. I want this pouring tea-pot decoration. Anyone fancy stealing (or buying, I suppose that should’ve been the first option…) it for me?

Check out this portrait of Emily Bronte which is up for auction. She’s so beautiful, though I’m not sure how realistic it can be- I’ve never seen eyes like that outside a Disney film. If I were rich and had a suitable wall to hang it on, I’d definitely be tempted!

When it’s cold outside and I need to choose a book to read, it can go one of two ways. Either I want total distraction, in which case I go for something with descriptions of somewhere nice and warm, think Under the Tuscan Sun. Otherwise, I hop in a hot bath and read about poor souls suffering in a subzero climate. Schadenfreude. Blood and Ice was one of these.
As a vampire story it was satisfying enough, not a great work in the genre, but an entertaining read and no one sparkled which was good enough for me. What really struck me about it was how similar it was in many ways to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. There were countless references to the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which given the setting and scenes like a ship trapped in sea ice or dog chases across the poles can’t have been a coincidence. Maybe it was trying to say something about humans meddling with science, though if it was it didn’t work. Maybe the author just found himself inspired.
It’s not a bad book, but it’s nothing great either, especially if you’re looking for a horror book.

Ben Hayward wants to determine whether a tiny house can be beautiful. For the past year, the recent architecture grad has been building a prototype tiny house at Carleton University.
Hayward’s vision is coming to fruition via a 185-square-foot tiny house, a sleek, curvy structure with futuristic features. The main door is a gull-wing affair: press a button on a remote control, and the oval door pivots out on a piston. “It’s a bit of a gimmick showpiece feature, but it’s also one of those things that might be the tipping point [for a potential buyer],” he explains.
Inside, he has done away with the sleeping loft common to most tiny houses by hiding the bed in the ceiling. Flip a lever, and the bed descends into the living room and clicks into a latch. The back of the couch becomes the headboard.
Another common drawback to tiny houses is the need to locate the bathroom next to the kitchen to avoid taking up precious space with long stretches of plumbing. Few people want to look at a toilet while they’re cooking, Hayward notes. He has solved this problem with a door that closes off the toilet stall while still allowing the large bathroom window to light the house.
One of the signature features of this house is its double curvature, a common element in automotive design but a rare feature in residential housing. Hayward used a digital 3-D model to design the house and a computerized router to cut the pieces from plywood. He then assembled the pieces with a mallet. Eventually he hopes to be able to email the specs to people anywhere in the world, who could use digital fabrication tools to cut the pieces onsite, then assemble their house themselves.
While his prototype will be sent to his mother in Alberta, who plans to set it up in her backyard, Hayward hopes to make a career out of designing similar small dwellings.
In future projects, he would like to incorporate green technologies such as Tesla’s Powerwall (a rechargeable lithium-ion battery system used for home energy storage), which he predicts will soon become more affordable. He believes such user-friendly technologies will be key to making these houses appealing to a wide range of buyers.

This spring our family took a little vacation to beautiful Banff, Alberta. There we met up with Travis and Amanda for their engagement session. While working with fickle mountain spring weather from snow storms that left 2 feet of snow, to intense sun that ate up the snow to leave puddles and thick mud, we were able to enjoy some of the wonderful scenery.
Thanks Travis and Amanda. I had so much fun and learned lots along the way too… I cannot wait to come home for your wedding! See you in July!!!!

The controversy over fracking in the UK has deepened as Scotland imposed a ban on giving the green light to new schemes amid ongoing public opposition to the process.
The move came as Lancashire County Council was forced to delay a decision on two proposed new fracking sites for at least eight weeks to consider new information from a shale company facing the prospect of its applications being turned down.
In a week when the Government promised an outright ban on fracking in national parks and accepted Labour moves to set "necessary conditions" restricting the shale industry as it faced down calls for a UK moratorium, public opposition continues to outstrip support.
A new online survey of 1,000 people found that two fifths (40%) were against fracking, while a quarter (25%) were in favour of it going ahead in the UK.
Around one in 10 (11%) were happy for fracking to go ahead but "not in my backyard", while almost a quarter (24%) did not know whether it should happen in the UK, the poll by Usurv revealed.
Almost half of those questioned in the North West (45%), where much of the shale gas resources are thought to be, said they were against it going ahead, with just 22% in favour of it, and 13% saying it could happen but not in their backyard.
And in Scotland just 15% of people thought fracking should go ahead, while 54% were against it, and less than 8% were happy for it to happen elsewhere.
Environmental campaigners had called on the Scottish Government to rule out hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking", for shale gas after the move to introduce a UK-wide moratorium was heavily defeated at Westminster.
Holyrood currently has control over planning, with powers over onshore oil and gas licensing and mineral access rights due to be transferred as part of the Smith Commission agreement on further devolution.
Making a statement to MSPs at Holyrood, Mr Ewing said: "I want to ensure that the voices of the communities likely to be most affected are heard, and are heard in a more formal and structured way.
"I am therefore announcing today that in addition to the technical work I've referred to on planning, environmental regulation and upon assessing the impact on public health, Scottish ministers will also launch a full public consultation on unconventional oil and gas extraction."
He added: "Given the importance of this work, it would be inappropriate to allow any planning consents in the meantime.
"I'm therefore announcing today a moratorium on the granting of planning consents for all unconventional oil and gas developments. This moratorium will continue until such time as the work I've referred to today has been completed."
In Lancashire, the decision on two new fracking sites on the Fylde Coast between Preston and Blackpool has been delayed for at least eight weeks after county councillors were told it would be unlawful to consider the matter today.
Planning officers at Lancashire County Council recommended last week that energy firm Cuadrilla should not be granted permission to explore for shale gas at Preston New Road, Little Plumpton, and at Roseacre, over noise and traffic concerns.
Cuadrilla submitted additional information to mitigate those concerns, which it said would require proper consultation, forcing angry and "heavy-hearted" council members to defer the matter.
Councillor Stephen Holgate, who abstained in the 13-1 vote in favour of deferral, said he felt as if the planning committee was being undermined by "too many people dipping their fingers into responsibilities that are not theirs".
He said that this "goes right to the top, unfortunately" as he referred to a leaked letter from Chancellor George Osborne which showed his efforts to push the shale industry in the UK, urging Cabinet colleagues to make it a "personal priority".
Mr Osborne called for progress on developing three or four "exemplar drilling sites" to prove the concept of safe shale gas exploration, contingency plans if Lancashire County Council turned down planning applications and a strategy to push fracking to the public.
More than 100 anti-fracking protesters gathered outside County Hall to make their views known on Cuadrilla's plans.
Speaking at County Hall, Cuadrilla's chief executive Francis Egan said: "It is important that a decision of that import is taken with all the information on the table and we have put forward more information which we believe will address the very few outstanding issues that the planning officers have identified.
"We did not appreciate until very late in the process ... areas we had approved before would not get approved this time. As you saw today, it's frustrating for everybody both for and against, but we have to work through the process."
Lancashire's planning officers had recommended that both sites should be turned down because of concerns over noise impacts which would "unnecessarily and unacceptably" affect neighbouring properties.
The proposed developments, which would have 24-hour drilling operations running for months at a time, would lead to a "significant increase in night-time background noise levels", a report from the officials said.
At the Roseacre Wood site, the report said there would be an increase in traffic, particularly heavy goods vehicles, which would result in "an unacceptable impact" on rural roads and reduce road safety.

Give some more Information about SEO..
Over 80% of the Internet's users go to a search engine before reaching a web site.When someone types your product or service's key words into a search engine if the site lists in the first page then chances are there that the user might visit the website.In short SEO is the best way to promote site and gain your desired web presence.The factors that Google considers are keywords in URL, Title, Text, Domain age,Number of visitors etc.It keeps updating the factors for page ranking. The companies that provide SEO also should update accordingly.If we get services from such a concerned company then we can definitely make SEO to be effective.I have used the SEV(Search Engine Visibility) from http://www.tucktail.com/search-engine/seo-services2.aspx?prog_id=447401&pl_id=447401 as they provide keyword and suggested topics,submit the site to over 100 search engines and also provide reports which eventually improved my website traffic.
pls give some tips about playing games??

As a composer, I have always tried to combine the musical aspect with research aspects that I take into account in the framework of my research as a computer scientist. In this direction, I have developed some tools to be used when dealing with computer assisted music composition, that rely on algorithms I am using in such topics as Operation Research and Artificial Intelligence. Hence, when I have been asked to elaborate a sinthesis between Wagner and Mozart, I have promptly accepted, also in order to test the accuracy of such tools. The main idea is to look for some musical material by one of the two authors (i.e., a melody, a rythm, or even a simple chord) that minimises a given “distance” with respect to some material by the other author: when a coding has been defined for representing the material, the distance can be computed using well-known measures (Manhattan distance, euclidean distance etc.). Though this framework may seem rigorous, the composer action is of the utmost relevance: first, the coding has to be defined; then, the distance measure has to chosen and to be set; last, one have to decide what to do with the obtained results.
The three original compositions show us three different ways to handle the obtained results, keeping the other components fixed.
“San Marino” is based on looking a common feature between two pieces (melodies) having minimum distance, and using this common feature as input of a local search algorithm (Tabu Search) that explores a graph. The resulting music is short and neat, and the composer and pianist role is kept as low as possible.
Much different is “Sant’Agata”, in which the material previously found are used to define the harmonic base of the composition. Once this base is created, the same algorithm is used to select the musical material by browsing randomly generated graphs. This material is then freely used and transferred via “midi” to an automatic toy piano, belonging to the <M&M> Orchestra (Logos Foundation, Gent (B)).
“Tomé” instead, is an iprovisation based on clustering several melodic material by means of specific algorithms (K-Means). Each part of the composition corresponds to a given cluster. In order to decide the “mood” of each part I have considered some artworks of artists from the exibition (Bierbrauer, Enzweiler, Linschinger, Radoy, and Staudt). I wouldn’t say that there is a proper musical program behind the composition, but some choices have been “biased” after having seen the exibition itself.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! The weather here was glorious, so I decided to give social media a little break and just soak up all of the Fall-ish weather, snuggles with my boys (and Ruby!), and drink all pumpkin spice lattes.
I've had a lot of requests for this post so I'm just going to dive right in! As I was writing this post I just kept thinking, damn if only I ate as healthy as Rowan! Ha. And if you're not looking for baby stuff, don't worry I'm haven't gone 100% mommy blog on you.
We opted to feed Rowan purees over the Baby Led Weaning approach for a few reasons. Our Ped did not recommend finger foods at all (even if they are soft starter foods - you should have seen the face he made when I mentioned this) until 8-9 months because the risk of choking is too high. I'm a worrier to that was basically all I needed to hear. But the mess and time involved with BLW confirmed it for me. I'm sure it works well for other families, but it's just not for us. Always check with your Pediatrician first!
Rowan has been doing so well with purees, chewing and demanding more after eat bite, so I'm really glad we went this route!
It takes me about and hour on a Sunday afternoon to do a couple batches of homemade purees for Rowan. I stick to making about 2-3 purees at a time and I do it while I'm prepping our own dinner. Generally he has about 5-6 different purees in the freezer and I make them once a week, or every two weeks if I was ambitious with my last batch.
We do still buy a few all natural purees or pouches because they are easy to grab and go if we're planning to feed Rowan while we are out of the house or traveling.
Ninja Blender. Ice Cube Tray with lid. Steamer insert.
For basics and how to make each puree, I always consult Wholesome Baby Foods. Also I buy organic whenever I can.
At night I put cubes for the next day in small containers in the fridge. I serve the fruits cold, and warm the veggies in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds. Make sure you test it to make sure its not too hot!
Thinning: At first I thinned his food with breastmilk before serving, rather than prior to freezing. I still do thin some of the thicker purees with breastmilk but more often I just add water while blending the puree.
Easiest purees vs. hardest: Bananas and avocados don't need to be steamed, just mash them up with a fork! The hardest purees for me to make so far have been green beans and peas. They don't come out really smooth because of the skins, but Rowan doesn't seem to mind.
Now we feed him purees three times a day, about an hour after he nurses.
Favorites: Basically any fruit, especially pears, bananas and blueberries. Sweet potatoes. Green Beans. His new favorite combo is sweet potatoes, apples, pumpkin and some cinnamon.
Tolerates: Avocados and Carrots as long as they are mixed with his favorite fruits.
Hates: Butternut squash! The kid will gag and give me the most hilarious, angry face. I don't blame him though, that one isn't a hit with his parents either.
So I know this may seem like a lot of effort, but even as a working mama I still enjoy making his food and I think it's worth it! It saves so much money and I know exactly what is going into his food.
Feel free to ask if you have questions!
Saving this for later. I've been really interested in BLW and this route, so thanks for sharing!
This is what I've always done as well and plan to do with #3. I often add spices when serving to introduce flavors so maybe if you tried some cinnamon or Rosemary on the squash?
I've been making baby food as well and was surprised by how quickly you can actually make it! It takes no time, especially when you do it as you are preparing something else in the kitchen.
You're so good! I lasted about two months into this process (and actually enjoyed it!) but then David had his leg injury and this was the last thing on my list!
Great post! I like that you use a normal blender and not one of those baby ones. Is it weird I'm really looking forward to making my own baby food?! I'm sure I won't be saying that once the time really comes! And I still can't believe R doesn't like butternut squash! It's so sweet once it's roasted!
Those ice cube portions are such a good idea! One of my girlfriends does this and it's genius!

Are you in a mess? Is your life falling by the wayside? Do psychic phone readings seem like the only solution? Well, yes, psychic phone readings do ease the stress and yes, they can help you see into the future. But any bona fide empath into psychic phone readings will also tell you facts. Psychic phone readings can be an excellent tool when used with wisdom and know how, however be aware a good psychic is upfront and truthful about what she or he sees.
Psychic phone readings could open your mind to a new way of being in the world. Once the psychic tunes in she might ask you who inhabits that world with you. And as a result you might look around and realise you are in trouble, that the bills cannot be paid, that the boyfriends never show up. In fact, you are surrounded by hangers-on, blamers, fault finders and victims because somehow, somewhere in your consciousness stream you hold that same energy. Perhaps you have low self esteem, perhaps you believe you do not deserve love, or can never achieve your dreams. If you think in that way, do not be surprised if you are surrounded by folks who agree with you and do not be surprised if psychic phone readings point that out!
Psychic phone readings will not only divulge future trends, but current situations that cause future events. A psychic will try to be as diplomatic as possible to help you avoid the bad times, but if she sees a great big hole in your wallet, she might ask who in your family is the spend thrift. If she sees boyfriends coming and going, and nasty girlfriends dumping you, she might ask if you want to heal your heart and deal with unlovable feelings. Psychic phone readings tend to tell us who we are and as we hear the psychic’s warm voice over the phone we might sense a healing energy pervading us and suddenly realize we can take steps to heal what is not working in our lives.
Turning to psychic phone readings for solutions might be a part and parcel of your soul path. Your relationship with your psychic is important. How do you react to her advice? Does she make you angry when she chips in with a little soft criticism? Are you willing to change your perspective about an old emotional pattern that has been holding you back for years? From an empath’s perspective psychic phone readings can guide you out of a one way street, and should never flatter you with false perceptions. For example, Psychic phone readings will warn you if your best friend is not matching your energy vibe these days, if the latest beau is clashing with your heart chakra, even if you can match the high expectations of an optimistic boss and come up with the goods, and the promotion.
Psychic phone readings could be classified as a gateway to inner knowledge. As we come to the end of the call and a little voice tells us it might be time to hang up, if the psychic has connected we will feel aware, wiser, ready to take steps to “heal out of date” thoughts holding back our evolution. Yes psychic phone readings can be a challenge, but listening to that voice at the other end of the line might be a ticket to freedom!

Collaborative Divorce and Divorce Mediation are alternatives to litigious divorce that provide divorcing couples the opportunity to resolve divorce issues outside of Court in a non-adversarial environment. Both alternatives are geared toward providing privacy, dignity, and control to divorcing couples. They should not be interpreted as ways to either “go easy on your spouse” or “get one over on your spouse,” but rather as ways to get through a difficult situation in a fair, equitable manner, while trying to maintain as healthy a family relationship as possible. Thinking “outside the box” is often used in order to find creative, acceptable solutions. Mutual respect and trust are needed. Common goals help to manage and resolve issues. Both alternatives require that the couple demonstrate good faith and provide full disclosure of finances. In addition, both alternatives require each spouse to be initially screened to assure the process chosen is appropriate, taking into account the couple’s relationship history and situation. Collaborative Divorce is a process that directs the divorcing couple’s attention to the best interests of the family. The couple resolves their divorce issues outside of court with collaboratively-trained attorneys. In addition to each spouse retaining a collaboratively-trained attorney, neutral, collaboratively-trained financial and mental health professionals may be brought in to focus on specific issues. The couple looks to settle their issues, handle the family transition, and move forward with their lives.
Although each attorney advocates for his or her client, everyone works together, and in doing so the couple retains control of the process. A series of meetings are held to discuss the divorce issues. No adversarial tactics or threats of litigation are allowed. An atmosphere of honesty, cooperation, and integrity geared toward the future well being of the family is relied upon. If negotiations break down and either spouse decides to stop the collaborative process and proceed with a litigious divorce, both of the collaborative attorneys must withdraw their representation. In this event each spouse must retain new attorneys to represent them in the litigious divorce.
Divorce Mediation provides an environment where divorcing couples can identify and resolve divorce issues with a Mediator; an impartial third party. The Mediator’s role includes acting as a facilitator and identifying divorce issues. During mediation sessions, the Mediator typically asks questions, offers suggestions, and encourages a healthy discussion. As the Mediator’s role is not an attorney role, the Mediator cannot provide legal advice to the couple. Therefore, each spouse may decide to retain an attorney to consult with in between mediation sessions. This allows each spouse to be knowledgeable of his or her legal rights and at the same time negotiate in a non-adversarial manner. The couple works together to resolve their divorce issues. Together, the spouses become the architects of their settlement. When the mediation process is completed, the Mediator typically prepares a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which is not binding on the couple but contains the mediated terms. Each spouse typically takes the MOU to his or her individual attorney to review the mediated terms and continue with the legal divorce process.

I recently have been obsessing over this scent from Bath & Body Works.
To be honest, I didn’t like it at first but while it was burning, you can really smell the scent and it just smelt so heavenly! It’s definitely on of those candles that you get your moneys worth! Your room or in my case, my whole house was smelling good while and after burning this for like 10 minutes! The smell is so good I can even smell it all the way upstairs lol. Yes, you can say I’m a bit obsessed.
Have you tried Bath & Body Works candles? If so, what’s your favorite?
Or which one(s) above do you think would be something you’d like?
I love Bath&Body Works candles esp. the Mint Chocolate <3 This is heaven!
This are nice candle and the scent is also good.

NEW YORK – The Securities and Exchange Commission has closed its investigation and has recommended no enforcement action be taken on safety claims stun gun maker Taser International Inc. (TASR)made about its weapons and on another accounting issue, company officials said Tuesday.
The SEC first launched an inquiry in January into claims Scottsdale-based Taser made about safety studies and into a $1.5 million, end-of-year sale of stun guns to a firearms distributor in Prescott. Some stock analysts questioned the deal because it appeared to inflate sales to meet annual projections.
In September, the SEC announced it was formally investigating the company on those issues and had expanded the scope of the investigation to examine whether outsiders had acquired internal company information to manipulate stock price.
Taser said the SEC is continuing to investigate the issues relating to trading in the company's stock.
"We have continuously stated that we stand behind our accounting and our statements on medical safety," said Taser President Tom Smith, adding that the company will "continue to fully cooperate with the remaining item" under investigation.
A Taser shoots two barbed darts attached to wires that deliver 50,000-volts for several seconds. The electrical current overwhelms the nervous system, temporarily immobilizing an individual.
Taser began marketing stun guns to police in 1998 as a way to subdue combative people in high-risk situations. Now, more than 8,000 law enforcement agencies and military installations use them worldwide.
But critics say the stun guns have been used too liberally by police and have contributed to scores of deaths. Amnesty International has compiled a list of more than 100 people the group says have died after being shocked in scuffles with lawmen.
The company has consistently denied its products are to blame for the deaths, contending that no deaths have been directly linked to its product. The company also contends Tasers have saved the lives of thousands of suspects who might otherwise have been fatally shot by police.

‘Family Guy’ creator Seth MacFarlane brings his boundary-pushing brand of humor to the big screen for the first time as writer, director and voice star of ’Ted.’ In the live action/CG-animated comedy, he tells the story of John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), a grown man who must deal with the cherished teddy bear who came to life as the result of a childhood wish…. and has refused to leave his side ever since. Starring Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Joel McHale, Patrick Warburton, Giovanni Ribisi and Seth MacFarlane playing Ted through motion-capture, the R-rated comedy arrives in cinemas June 29th in the US and August 1st in the UK.
Mark Wahlberg: Yeah. I still have some action with ‘Ted.’ I have a great fight sequence in the movie. A chase sequence, climbing over some stuff. But I do play a very different character, my character has never been in an altercation until he has to punch this twelve year old boy in the face (laughs). So it was very different. My character’s very child-like, I wouldn’t say naive, but he’s a sweet guy. He’s not the edgy sort of character that people have seen me play recently.
My character, John, he gets Ted as a Christmas gift. It’s one of those talking bears that when you squeeze its hand it says a couple different sentences. John doesn’t have many friends in the neighbourhood that he’s growing up in, so Ted becomes his best friend and he makes a wish that the bear will come to life and, you know, his Christmas wish is granted (laughs). It’s a very funny scene when the bear starts talking in the kitchen with his parents.
You did two things in ‘Ted’ that you don’t really care to do….
Mark Wahlberg: (Laughs) Singing and dancing. I hate it. I don’t mind it in the shower or singing in the car – I was belting out an Adele song this morning. But, I dunno, it just feels silly. With the film, people love it so what do I know? My judgement is shot (laughs). I think with ‘Ted,’ people will not be disappointed, it’s like Seth MacFarlane on steroids. It really is. I saw ‘Family Guy’ and I thought, “Wow, he’s getting away with some of that stuff in a cartoon.” But now a feature film, Rated R, he pushes the envelope – there’s nobody he doesn’t offend either, everyone is fair game. I was down with signing and dancing on something like that.
With the nature of working with someone like Seth MacFarlane and his brand humour, I can imagine there needs to be a lot of trust? Especially since you haven’t worked with him before.
Mark Wahlberg: Yeah. Well, I read the script first of all….actually, when I first heard the concept of the movie I said, “You know what? This is not for me.” But my agent convinced me to read the script and I loved it. Then I sat with Seth for an hour and we clicked right away. You can just tell when somebody gets it, they know what they want and they know how to execute. Because I’ve been in a room with a lot of people who are just kind of trying to convince themselves that they know what they’re going to do, how they’re going to execute it. You could tell pretty quickly with Seth that he knew what he was doing.
What was it like working against CGI and with Seth MacFarlane?
Mark Wahlberg: The CGI, it took a little while getting used to. But once I started getting into the swing of things, I started being very comfortable with the idea of acting opposite whatever they had. Whether it was the stuffed bear or the little stick with the eyes. And then of course having Seth somewhere in the room doing the voice was also very helpful. Working with Seth, you never know what to expect. But we hit it off really well when we first met and hung out. It was a very very pleasant experience working with Seth. He’s just such a nice, warm guy. He’s as funny as any human being I’ve met in my life, but he’s just really cool and easy to work with. There was never any stress or difficulty.

What Does the Skyline Mean for New York City?
Instantly iconic isn't really a thing, but Greg Young argues for a subtle sort of success.
Americans have an obsession with building stuff and this obsession has a tendency to congeal into monstrous edifices. The Twin Towers were the ultimate example of this phenomenon and, when they fell, they left a deep gash in the national psyche as well as Lower Manhattan. In a sense, One World Trade Center, which opened a year ago, was more of a hypertrophic scar, built from blood cells and collagen fibers, than a building, built from a blueprint. It became the tallest building in the U.S., attempted to distance itself from the name “Freedom Tower,” was accepted as monument to loss, and triumphed as tribute to the indomitable spirit of both a city and corporate optimism.
OWTC, like hordes of skyscrapers before it, is an enormous hunk of steel and glass, shooting upwards into the sky: Its metal spire ends at 1,792 feet. It’s a beautiful building that reflects whatever hue prevails in the atmosphere around it.
While One World Trade Center and the adjacent 9/11 Memorial have become tourist destinations in lower Manhattan, Greg Young, host of the popular NYC history podcast the Bowery Boys, isn’t a fan. He thinks the most thronging skyline in the U.S. is totally bereft of the artistry that made it so interesting back in the day.
The notion of community is no longer as closely associated with the city skyline as it once was. Huge buildings cast dark, disassociative shadows. Young argues that the silhouette of Manhattan has become less of a feature and more of a byproduct of the city people that live in it, an object of admiration that exists apart from shared experience.
“The skyline has always been a place where people celebrate industry,” he says.
It’s hard to dispute Young’s sentiment. As New York’s buildings climb higher, homogeny becomes inevitable for zoning, if not aesthetic, reasons. Architectural firms look to out-innovate one another by building higher, sleeker, shinier, and flashier buildings, but, when space is at a premium, math leads to rectangles. Developers end up charged with turning “the skyline into a multi-colored light show” rather than a reflection of a lifestyle.
The Bowery Boys will often hearken back to New York’s progenitor skyscrapers — like the Chrysler Building and the Woolworth — which were born from architectural schools of thought that gave the city a native visual sheen.
One year after the Freedom Tower, however, Young isn’t too optimistic. Maybe it’s because of the ever-present scourge of negativity that envelopes New York as wintertime nears. Or maybe it’s because the future of his city’s skyline is fast nearing a giant light show.

Despite a brilliant offensive performance from Carmelo Anthony, the New York Knicks lost yet another heartbreaker at the TD Garden as the Boston Celtics took win 2 of their first round matchup.
The Knicks were beat up from the very beginning. Heading into the game the Knicks were already without Chauncey Billups and shortly into the first half, the injury bug struck again. When Amare Stoudamire was forced to leave the game with back spasms, it looked like the Knicks were on the verge of being blown out, but Carmelo Anthony refused to go quietly.
Anthony scored from everywhere and displayed his full repertoire en route to a 42 point outburst, but it still wasn’t enough. Rajon Rondo went for a playoff career high, scoring 30 points on layups while Kevin Garnett saved his heroics for the dying seconds of the game. Doc Rivers once again pushed the right button with his play call and KG delivered.
The Celtics may have held home court, but it looked shaky, very shaky. The Celtics struggled to defeat the Knicks 96-93 even though the Knicks were without their key players and half of their starting lineup. It won’t be surprising if the Knicks hold home court if they are healthy.
That said, Carmelo Anthony showed the world why he was worth the Knicks giving up their entire team to get him. Anthony showed that despite all the negative hype, he can actually play defence, and he’s capable of beating teams by himself; which is a good thing for the Knicks in light of their current situation.
Considering Doc Rivers has out-coached D’Antoni and the Knicks are playing with a skeleton crew, Carmelo might have to average in the mid 30’s for the Knicks to avoid getting swept.

If sales a market make then Kitsilano detached homes appear to have taken a nose dive in this neighbourhood snapshot.
Total Listings decreased from June/July’s 59 to July/August’s 47 in this, the traditional slow summer season, of Vancouver’s real estate market.
It was a shallow pool for sales. During this period sales dropped from 15 to 3.
Both the June/July and July/August periods had 2 listing mandates expire.
Although sales appear to have scraped their nose on the pool’s bottom, the number of days it took to sell a Kitsilano home speeded up as it only took 8 days to sell a home in July/August compared to 13 in June/July.
June/July’s Average Ask price was $1,802,200. The average increased to $1,827,000 in July/August.
The Median Ask price in June/July was $1,588,000. The median increased to $2,158,000 in July/August. This extreme aberration from the month prior resides in the recording of 2 out of the 3 sales exceeded 2 million dollars.
The Average Sold price in the June/July $1,801,500. July/August saw a small increase to $1,808,666.
The Median Sold price in June/July registered $1,625,000. As noted above, July/August’s Kitsilano detached home Median Sold price increased to $2,038,000.
Diving into shallow pools can be dangerous and possibly lead to life-altering changes. With certainty, this Kitsilano snapshot provides a secular view of the general Vancouver real estate market and is admittedly, a shallow perspective.
Yet, what remains unknown, is whether those who took the plunge into Kitsilano real estate were aware of the golden rule? The rule being that when one is in doubt of what lies beneath the surface one should jump feet first especially, in the murky real estate pond that is the Vancouver real estate market?
One also wonders if upon surfacing from their dive into the Kits real estate pool – their first opportunity to see the July/August sales numbers, whether they retrospectively would have chosen to follow the golden rule instead of seeking help for shock trauma.
Having recently sold my house on the Westside, I am waiting to buy in Kits. But I’m not going to do that until prices start becoming more realistic. These kinds of low sales will surely put downward pressure on prices?
The 15 to 3 number tells me the buyers are not as commonly found-what I do not see are the price reductions to attract buyers from the smaller pool of buyers. These stats are interesting but I will wait to see what Sept brings as things could be clouded by late summer finally arriving and financial market gyrations.
Too early to call a market turn but definitely an eye catcher.
The fewer the sales, the less meaningful the price stats become.
and are you prepared to offer an arbitrary number of sales that will establish price validity? Can one sale determine a market?
I agree that for this small slice of the mkt the sales are too low to make the price stats all that meaningful, so I agree, but I think the story Larry is highlighting is HOW SLOW the sales are now….could just be August, we’ll know over the coming months….
Larry, hope you nailed the sale, sounds like buyers can now afford to be increasingly choosy….
thanks, really appreciate the market updates.
Sales going form 15 to just 3 is a crash in sales, no doubt. Resulting in MOI sky-rocketing to approx 16 (=47/3) from approx 4 (=59/15). Significant price declines will surely follow as they have always done when MOI increases like this.
With just 3 sales, Larry, would you be kind enough to determine what the asking and sell price of each of them are?
I’m curious if sellers are getting numbers close to their ask price. Thanks!
Thanks Larry-I agree, quality of the house being sold seems to be a factor in any market but the inventory sure seems to be growing….at least out here in the burbs.
Very much appreciated Larry. Thanks!
I feel that the numbers (avg/medians) are not quite right. how you got averages of 1.8M with these solds?
That was quite funny actually – I was not reffering if I liked or disliked the prices these days… I was trying to say that is pretty hard to get 1.8M average from numbers you have posted: 2.7M, 2.2M and 2M.
There is a math/calculation problem. Are you saying that these numbers are calculated by the board computers? Really ? So how much I should trust monthly stats ?
re board’s computer – answer is yes all by that machine. There isn’t a single number that I post that is not generated by that machine.
Imagine a bucket with water, a spout emptying it while it is concurrently being filled. The numbers you see in that bucket are dependant on the changes in volume of the listings flowing in and sales flowing out. Add to this the volume of listings that expire then are re-listed, terminations, hold actions which will leave you with a whirlpool of numbers that sometimes don’t make mathematical sense (at least from my perspective) but indicate a “feeling” of market dynamic. By the way I realise this may sound like a pretty lame justification but it is what it is. It’s also why I think a lot of people think Realtors® are full of BS. We work with what is and most of the time when combined with experience and that “feeling” some of us are pretty spot on in determining market values.
Can you rely on the figures? Sure, if you accept that they are indicators and not gospel. In other words grey! In terms of ‘fixed’ numbers (please don’t read into that) they only occur once. The cut off point is made is at 00:01 am at the end of each month. Bottom line – it’s as good as it gets. Real estate is not science unless you consider mass psychology a science.

The U.S. Maritime Administration issued an expanded advisory for GPS disruptions in the Middle East. The new advisory renews and repeats warnings for the eastern Mediterranean and adds the Port of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
Reports have also been filed with the U..S Coast Guard Navigation Center about disruptions in Israel’s Port of Haifa and the Straits of Hormuz.
Analysis by the Resilient Navigation and Timing Foundation and the non-profit firm C4ADS has also shown on-going disruptions in Russian waters of the Black Sea. Also, GPS jamming by Russia is suspected during a recent NATO exercise.
The armed conflict in Syria has been blamed for much of the disruptions off of its shores.
GPS jamming in support of illegal fishing is suspected by some as the cause of problems off of Port Said, and disputes over mineral rights has been suggested for the disruptions seen near Cyprus.
Disruptions in the Black Sea are suspected to be security measures associated with the travel of Russian government officials.
This revised advisory cancels U.S. Maritime Advisory 2018-007.
Reference: U.S. Maritime Alerts 2018-004A, 2018-004B, 2018-008A.
Issue: Multiple instances of significant GPS interference continue to be reported by vessels and aircraft operating in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. These reports have been concentrated near Port Said, Egypt, the Suez Canal, and in the vicinity of the Republic of Cyprus. Additional instances of similar interference were reported in October 2018 near Jeddah Port, Saudi Arabia. This interference is resulting in lost or otherwise altered GPS signals affecting bridge navigation, GPS-based timing and communications equipment.
Guidance: Exercise caution when transiting these areas. The U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center (NAVCEN) and NATO Shipping Center websites contain information regarding effective navigation practices for vessels experiencing GPS interference. The information reaffirms safe navigation practices when experiencing possible GPS disruption, provides useful details on reporting possible GPS disruption, and is intended to generate further discussions within the maritime community about other disruption mitigation practices and procedures. This guidance also recommends taking note of critical information such as the location (latitude/longitude), date/time, and duration of the outage/disruption, and providing photographs or screen shots of equipment failures during a disruption to facilitate analysis. The NAVCEN information is available at https://go.usa.gov/xQBaU.
Contact Information: GPS disruptions or anomalies should be immediately reported to the NAVCEN at https://go.usa.gov/xQBaw or via phone at 703-313-5900, 24 hours a day. The NATO Shipping Center has requested that instances of GPS interference also be reported to them using the format on their Cyber Interference link.
Cancellation: This message will automatically expire on May 2, 2019.
Dana Goward is president of the nonprofit Resilient Navigation and Timing Foundation.

Today is the 22nd annual International Noise Awareness Day. The Center for Hearing and Communication founded this event in 1996 to “encourage people to do something about bothersome noise where they work, live, and play.” Safe listening and hearing practices are extremely important to us as Audiologists. We encourage people to participate in healthy hearing practices including: annual hearing evaluations, healthy lifestyle choices, hearing protection use when needed, and hearing aid use when recommended. For International Noise Awareness Day we want to highlight how loud noise can damage the hearing system, when to wear hearing protection, and hearing protection options.
When noise is too loud, it begins to damage and kill the sensory cells and nerve connections in the inner ear (hearing organ and hearing nerve). The more our ears are exposed to loud sounds, the more the nerve connections are permanently destroyed, decreasing hearing and speech clarity.
What can I do about noise exposure?
The key to preventing hearing damage from noise exposure is to avoid loud noise and use appropriate hearing protection devices. People often do not know or forget to protect their hearing until it is too late. The damage from noise exposure is permanent.
Noise may be damaging if you have to shout over it to be heard, the noise hurts your ears, your ears ring during or after exposure to the noise, or you have reduced hearing abilities for several hours or longer after the noise exposure.
Prolonged exposure to noise over 85 dB is dangerous. For every 3 dB over 85 dB, safe exposure time is reduced by half. Example: 85 dB 8 hours, 88 dB 4 hours, 91dB 2 hours.
Wear hearing protection when around sounds louder than 85 dB.
Turn down the volume when listening to music or anything through ear buds and headphones.
What type of hearing protection is best for me?
There are many custom and non-custom hearing protection options depending upon your needs. The Audiologists at Mile High Hearing can recommend the best option for you and can teach you how to properly use your hearing protection so that you receive the most benefit.

Time for payment in charterparties not a condition. The Astra overruled.
Charterers of three vessels – the Spar Capella, Spar Vega and Spar Draco – were late in payments of instalments under the charterparties for over five months, with the arrears fluctuating between about US$1.5 to US$2.5 million. They repeatedly told the owners they were having cash flow problems but expected a cash injection from their parent which never materialised. The parent company had guaranteed the charterers’ performance of the charterparties.
The owner called on the guarantee and then terminated the charterparties when the call was not met. They commenced arbitration in Hong Kong against the charterers for the balance of hire due under the charterparties and damages for loss of bargain for the unexpired term of the charterparties. The charterers went into liquidation shortly before the hearing and the owners then commenced proceedings in the High Court against the parent guarantor for the same claims together with the costs of the arbitration.
Popplewell J gave judgment for the owners for the full amount claimed of US$25,308,320.35 plus interest, holding that payment of instalments under charterparties was not a condition giving rise to a right of termination on breach, but that the charterers were in renunciatory breach entitling termination because of the repeated late payments, unsatisfactorily explained.
The guarantor appealed, arguing that it had not renounced the charterparties, and the owners filed a Respondent’s Notice arguing that payment of instalments under charterparties is a condition justifying termination on breach.
Each charterparty contained a withdrawal clause and anti-technicality clause.
Tomlinson LJ giving the judgment of the court said that the question was determined by whether time for payment was a condition (entitling termination), an innominate term or merely a warranty (not entitling termination). This in turn depends on the the intentions of the parties and thus of the true construction of the contract.
If a term is a condition, it is unnecessary and inappropriate to explore the gravity of the breach; it is open to the parties to agree that any breach of a particular obligation (regardless of its gravity) will entitle the innocent party to treat the contract as at an end.
Time for payment under these charterparties was an innominate term as time was not made of the essence, payment was not directly or immediately required to enable the owners to perform, the consequences of breach were not spelled out and could vary dramatically from the trivial to the grave.

This trojan was found on a compromised web server that was used to send mass emails with a malicious attachment. Upon execution, the malware searches all logical drives for common media and document files, appends .CRYPTOLOCKER to each file’s name and allegedly encrypts each file with 2048-bit RSA key. It places a text file in every subdirectory with ransom instructions. It persists on the system by copying itself to a TEMP folder, and adding that copy to the system autoruns. It also gives this copy a file-association to the “.CRYPTOLOCKER” file extension. When it finishes this dirty work, it displays a warning (seen above) with instructions for downloading the Tor Browser to (presumably) cough up some money for the private RSA key required to decrypt the files. This is a similar pattern that we have seen in recent ransomware variants.
I initially executed this sample in a sandbox that had no network connectivity. Though, the malicious process never attempts to make any network connections at any point. Regardless, it still modifies files and displays the CryptoLocker alert. I immediately found this to be unusual. My understanding is that CryptoLocker initially connects to a C&C server which in turn generates a unique RSA key pair of which one is sent to a client for file encryption. This clearly isn’t the case here. I supposed that it’s possible that a public key was hard-coded into this sample, but that seems unnecessarily complicated and fragile, since we know that this was intended to be sent to many inboxes. It’s time to take a closer look at this executable.
The malicious process was identified as a Win32 PE in Process Explorer. However, the original file would not open in IDA (free) or a debugger, indicating in an error message that the program is a .NET executable. Specifically, the program requires .NET 2.0 for execution. This is unusual since .NET executables are more easily reversed, and malware generally leans more towards complication, than ease. After de-obfuscating the file with de4dot, and investigating the decompiled output in JetBrains dotPeek, it is mostly clear what is happening on execution. The malicious executable is encrypted within this .NET program.
The .NET executable reads itself into memory as as a string, and then splits these strings into arrays based on pretty specific delimiters like [$FILEBASE$] and [$SETTINGS$]. The method Class5.smethod() is a Rijndael decryption method with a hard-coded key and Initialization Vector. After the program decodes and decrypts this string, the bytes are written to disk (this is the real Win32 PE) and a new process is started from this data. But where in the executable are these strings located?
Loading the file into a text editor shows that a lot of data has been appended to the end it, including some encoded strings and the delimiters that we were looking for. Clever? Note that this data was stripped from the de-obfuscated copy.
After cutting and pasting selections from the dotPeek output and encoded strings from the original executable into a new Visual Studio project, it was easy to extract the final Win32 executable. However, this PE was packed. Luckily, PEFrame identified the packer as UPX. The file was easily unpacked with UPX and was then clearly readable in IDA and in the debugger.
So with that out of the way, we can take a closer look at the de-obfuscated piece of malware.
A thorough once-over offers some clues about the capability of this malware. Notably, the .rsrc section of the PE file contains, some interesting data, including the text from the final pop-up alert. The ID# shown to the victim in the alert pop-up is not dynamically generated, which demonstrates that in the least, no unique RSA keys have been generated for purposes of file encryption, and this ID# is just used to make the program appear as if a unique key has been generated.
There is also some indication that this malware is capable of decrypting the files on the filesystem. There are strings that appear to be prompts and responses for decryption password input. Though I suppose that this could be sloppy cruft from co-development of separate but similar encryption and decryption programs.
As you can see, the program is only modifying parts of the file, and the parts that it does modify shows a clear pattern. Furthermore, after the first quarter of any given file, the data is unchanged. This doesn’t look complex, and it certainly doesn’t look like RSA.
Recreating this input file and stepping through execution helped to identify where files are copied into memory and how they are modified. The function that handles the encryption can be seen in the following image, on the left. There are a few clues in this function that may help to reveal the nature of the encryption it is using. The constant 0x9e3779b9 seems to be important, appearing at several points of the encryption function. An internet search for this constant shows that it is a magic number commonly used in the Tiny Encryption Algorithm (TEA). I am admittedly, currently unskilled and impatient at deciphering encryption algorithms in assembly. But after reviewing the TEA algorithm, and the resulting assembly in some implementations, I think it is likely that this variant of CryptoLocker is using TEA in order to encrypt targeted documents. This is significant because TEA is a symmetric cipher, and therefore it will be possible to decrypt the data using the same encryption key, without paying a ransom. As I viewed this disassembled function, I noticed a very similar, but currently unused function, which is shown on the right. Again, after reviewing the TEA algorithm, noting the similarity, and given that the binary has offered clues that it is capable of decryption, I thought it was possible that this was a TEA decryption function.
Encryption function on the left, unknown function on the right.
Of course, it is possible (and important) to understand the structure of the program to determine if and under what conditions this second function is used. It is also important to determine what key or keys are being used, and exactly how each file is affected. But at this time, I am interested in determining if I can quickly easily decrypt files with this second function.
To attempt decryption, I patched the binary so that the second (decrypt?) function is executed, instead of the usual encryption function. After tracing the flow of the program, just overwriting some instructions with NOPs would force flow into the second function, rather than the first function. I then took some previously encrypted files, and removed the .CRYPTOLOCKER extension so the patched executable would attempt to encrypt them, but with the alternative function.
This worked. Previously encrypted files were intact after being processed by the patched binary. This variant is not using an asymmetric cipher at all.
This is an opportunistic piece of malware that preys on the limited knowledge that many users and system administrators have about CryptoLocker. It preys on the assumption that encrypted files are irretrievable without paying a ransom for a private key. It benefits from the idea of CryptoLocker as a “brand” of malware that is criminal and dangerous, but paradoxically honest and straightforward. I think it is likely that uninformed users or system administrators would pay the ransom if they had no clear alternatives. The authors of this attack would just need to collect their money, since they do not need to generate, distribute nor keep track of the public and private key pairs of their victims.
My goal was to understand how this variant encrypted files, and to determine if the affected files could be decrypted without an external key. I was able to accomplish this. However, the static analysis of this file is not complete. Certain sections of code, as well as some string data, indicate that decryption may be more straightforward than manual binary patching. This is something that I would like to revisit when I have more time (and skill). Note that I am clearly a novice, pursuing this as a hobby. Any feedback is welcome.
A great writeup. However, recent variants CryptoWall and CryptoDefense don’t appear to be quite the same malware as CryptoLocker. Would this potentially still be relevant on these latest strains?
Thanks for the feedback. I think it’s important to consider that no one owns a trademark on the names “CryptoLocker,” “CryptoWall,” and “CryptoDefense.” Any new independent variant can call themselves these names, and benefit from the fear and assumptions that come along with the name. So, to answer your question, I think that yes, the findings here could be relevant in any new strain. But, each strain would need to be understood as a discrete piece of malware, regardless of what it calls itself. I think that any serious, widely distributed version of CryptoLocker would need to rely on asymmetric ciphers. There are too many prying eyes that will find the ruse.
I believe CryptoWall is “legit”, unfortunately. It appears to really use RSA encryption.
Unfortunately my hard-disk was re-imaged to remove this virus and from my understanding there is usually a decryption key planted in the registry which I have lost now because of the re-imaging. I do have a copy of the data but appears to be all encrypted.
I have to be honest I don’t think I have completely understood exactly what you have done here but do you think there is a way to decrypt the data without the key?
It sounds like you have been infected with a “real” version of CryptoLocker, in which case it will not be possible to decrypt the files without the private key.
They pop up every now and then, hit a very limited amount of targets, and just completely disappear. The malware itself looks to be the product of some kind of construction kit or is based on some leaked or sold source code. A lot of the texts and dialogs that are never used point towards it. There are actually dialogs included that allow you to type in the password to unlock the files. The password is stored as a hash but is completely unrelated to the encryption key so you could technically just patch the password hash for the check to pass. Reversing the hash to the unlock code isn’t as easy though. If I remember correctly the unlock code is hashed multiple times to make rainbow tables useless. So if the unlock code is of reasonable size and complexity it will likely take an unreasonable amount of time to brute force it.
One interesting aspect of the password dialog is that is does have some tamper protection. If you type in the wrong password too many times, it will actually try to destroy your data by encrypting your files using a “random” key (it’s not actually random, it just calls RDTSC). Fortunately the normal unlock dialog can’t be reached using conventional means in the variants I looked at, otherwise I am sure some victims would have messed up their data that way.
By the way: Instead of renaming the files and patching the encryption routine it is a lot easier to just jump straight to the decryption logic contained in the malware that is usually called when you type in the correct unlock code. That way it will rename those files back for you and it is even nice enough to remove the infection ;).
Fabian, thanks for the feedback. I know that some security sites picked up this post and used some, ahem, creative hyperbole. I didn’t want to give the impression that I am authoritatively declaring this as a brand new discovery. I just had not come across it before and felt it was noteworthy from both technological and sociological perspectives.
My sample sounds similar if not identical to the one that you describe. I did see the strings related to decryption and tamper-proofing as well as some other “vestigial” functions within the binary. Though, after my cursory look through it, I couldn’t quickly see how to initiate the password/decrypt dialogues. I see that it calls some native hashing functions, which are probably used to verify the password, as you described.
I was drawn into taking a closer look at this malware because of its primitive encryption capabilities, and the fact that it clearly is not capable of pulling down an externally generated key. I wonder how successful these fakes are.
Don’t worry about the press. You mentioned that you intended to look into the malware further as you are still a novice. So I thought I point a few things out that are unusual in the sample that would make excellent research projects for your ongoing learning process :).
Would it be possible to provide the file which was locked using cryptolocker?
Sure thing. I’ve reached out to you by email.

Dog Flats (FEB 5-6 2018, Roulette Intermedium) sees three women using objects, materials, and movement patterns to create a live multi-layered sound score amidst personal investigation to architecture, color, transformation, and memory. Performers Katie Dean, Ayano Elson, and Jessica Cook obscure and expand audience sight line to alter the perceiving of sound and its relationship to movement. Rhythmic patterns are systematically built and deconstructed to amplify and ornament gesture and shape. The performers traverse through rigid dance constructs cut with improvisational scores centered around memory, desire, and hyper-emotion. Sculptural landscaping and transformation produce sonic textures that are threaded and perpetuated alongside Lillie De‘s light design.

It's important that children receive vaccinations to protect them against many diseases that are especially dangerous to young people. Just before school starts is the busiest time for shot clinics, but there is a need all year long—when parents are preparing to enter their children into daycare, or preparing to have their children start school after moving to the area—to find clinics where children can receive their vaccinations even if the cost of seeing a private physician is prohibitive.
The Phoenix Fire Department sponsors such clinics through a program called "Baby Shots." All immunizations through Baby Shots are free, and all immunizations required for daycare, HeadStart, preschool, elementary, and high school are offered to people from 6 weeks of age through 18 years of age. The 2019 schedule includes dates of clinics and addresses.
Vaccination and immunization clinics are located throughout the Phoenix area. The Mesa Fire Department also regularly sponsors immunization clinics for people whose children are not covered by private health care policies for the shots. They also provide seasonal flu shots.
The clinics are free, but there are eligibility requirements and the process goes smoothly if you know what to expect.
People are served in the order in which they arrive. Because the immunizations at the clinics are free, there can be a fairly long wait time, especially in the month before school starts. Try to arrive early. It might take half an hour, an hour, or longer to get to see a nurse.
From the time you are seen, it will take approximately 20 minutes to complete the process and get the shots.
Bring water and reading material for yourself and the kids to help pass the time.
Make sure you bring up to date immunization records for your child. The better your documentation, the less time it will take to get your child the shots that are needed. Parents are strongly encouraged to contact previous vaccinators (county health departments, physicians, schools, daycare, etc.) to obtain duplicate copies of prior records.
You can find the dates and locations of immunization clinics near you at The Arizona Partnership for Immunization website for more information. You can also contact Community Information & Referral for assistance with finding health care for both children and adults in Arizona.
The serious diseases of yesteryear have been all but wiped out due to vaccines so we don't see these illnesses and may become complacent about immunizations for our children. We are protected from diseases like measles and polio now because of vaccines, but these diseases do still exist and can spread among the unvaccinated.
Recently in Washington State, there was a measles outbreak with over 65 cases reported as of March 2019. The Department of Health opened free shot clinics and launched an information campaign to curtail the spread of the illness. This would not have happened if everyone had received their recommended vaccination. The best protection against measles is the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella viruses.
The Arizona Partnership for Immunization provides a video that explains how important immunization is.

Security guard Mike Dargy has been placed on leave after allegedly making a racist comment to a bartender in Westport.
Note: This post contains racist content.
A Westport security guard has been let go after a Facebook post detailing a racist incident in Westport gained traction Monday.
According to the post, the bartender, who goes by Alobar Bandaloop on Facebook, says the alleged incident occurred over the weekend, when Mike Dargy went to Buzzard Beach and ordered a "Trayvon Martini" from him. Trayvon Martin was the unarmed black teenager shot and killed by George Zimmerman in Florida in 2012.
Since the post began to circulate, Dargy has been placed on leave by his employer, Chesley Brown International, a private security company that supplies guards for the popular entertainment district.
In an email, Dargy told KCUR the Facebook post was "extremely embellished." He declined to provide further details.
In a statement, executive director of the Westport Regional Business League Kim Kimbrough said the allegation is under investigation by the security company.
"If true, it is reprehensible; and we will have zero tolerance for that type of behavior in this welcoming district," Kimbrough said.
Chesley Brown International, an Atlanta-based security services firm, said in a statement it launched an internal investigation after finding out about the alleged incident. The company has since fired Dargy and plans to re-evaluate its cultural sensitivity training.
"We want to make it clear that these types of actions in no way represent the principles of Chesley Brown International," said Candice Cade, Associate Vice President of Human Resources, in the statement.
According to Olathe Police spokesperson Logan Bonney, Dargy was a recruit officer for the department for less than a year, leaving the department in 2016. Bonney could not provide the reason Dargy left the department.
The alleged incident calls to mind concerns voiced last fall about racism in the entertainment district, and the potential for racial profiling if City Council approved the Westport privatization ordinance, allowing gun screening sites at the edges of Westport.
Councilwoman Alissia Canady, who voted in favor of privatization, added "safeguards" to the ordinance, including calling for racial bias training for officers and guards, and for "civil observers" to work busy weekend nights at the screening sites to monitor for racial profiling.
"When people are observed they usually do what's right. When they're not observed, their unconscious biases come out. That was why I required the civil observers to make sure there was accountability," Canady told KCUR.
As for the racial bias training for guards and officers, Damon Daniel of the Ad Hoc Group Against Crime confirmed with KCUR that a class was hosted by the Anti-Defamation League back in April, which would have been during the time Dargy was employed as a Westport security guard, according to an email he sent to KCUR stating he had been working in Westport for two years.
Daniel was at the training in April because he was tasked with hiring a staff of 11 civil observers. The observers participated in one day of racial bias training alongside Westport security guards and Kansas City police officers.
Daniel told KCUR it was a "good start."
"But, one day is never enough," he said. "It takes practice. It's not something unlearned overnight."

Smiles, I am thinking I am a NUT. I just went to cut and paste a passage from your book before I realized it was an image. 😀 It is so TRUE tho. I know first hand that ‘money’ doesn’t buy happiness. BUT it sure makes life easier. And it is so STRANGE, how the MORE you have, the MORE you get. I mean generally, people TREAT you so differently if you are a have, as opposed to being a have not. Even family. It’s crazy! BUT, you see, you are right, you drew me in, and some day, hopefully soon I will buy your book. Smiles I look forward to reading it.
Oh, thank you so much! Your words are so kind and inspiring, it is a blessing to read them today.
Yes, I agree that it is strange as well as sad how much having money affects the way one is treated. If you have more, you’re treated better and “respected” more. If you don’t have much, things are harder and you’re not treated as well.

Summer weddings are gorgeous, can last long into the glowy sunset evening, and can make for stunning memories. Yet, there are a few things that you must be cautious about when planning an outdoor summer wedding! Today, Michelle and I are going to share some of our top tips on how to create a perfect outdoor Summertime wedding!
Shade is required at summer weddings. Even if most of your wedding takes place indoors, your guests will be drawn to the outdoors. Set up some seating under large trees where people can hang with cocktails firmly in hand. Set up an additional tented “lounge” with couches and cocktail table and chairs. Add a minibar and some music (bluegrass band, pianist) so guests can comfortably take a reprieve from the heat without having to escape all the fun. PS—If it’s gonna be a scorcher, place small bottled waters and handheld fans on every seat at the ceremony so guests have a way to keep themselves cool. (No one likes an irritable crowd.
The party doesn’t have to start after you’re pronounced husband and wife. Set the time on your invitations for an hour before the ceremony really starts and have a pre-ceremony cocktail hour. Let guests mingle to filtered sounds of reggae through your own iPod or hire violinists to stroll through the gardens. Anything that sets the right mood. Have waiters pass around signature NON-ALCOHOLIC drinks such as lemonade and iced tea in fun tumblers with straws. Or have a selection of vintage-style sodas (Izze, Gus, etc.) on hand for guests to help themselves. Let us just repeat these words: non-alcoholic drinks. There’s time to get to the good stuff later and you don’t need a pair of loose lips on hand for the ceremony you’ve been waiting all your life for.
Whenever possible, take your portraits in indirect light or in the shade, but make sure your outdoor venue has plenty. And if you’re cool with bucking tradition, schedule your coupledom portraits for before the start to the ceremony when your time frame may be a bit more flexible.
Don’t put all your eggs in your weatherman’s basket. The last thing you want to be unprepared for is rain. Better safe than sorry. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. However you want to think about it, just do it. Spend a little extra to rent tents—just in case. Have a fully scouted, equipped, and planned-to-perfection indoor option—just in case. If everything is well thought-out, you can make a decision an hour ahead of time-based on the hour-by-hour forecast and your guests will never know the difference. Love both your outdoor and indoor plan so you won’t be disappointed either way.
I think by now we all have “been there” and know that the hot summer sun and alcohol don’t always mix. A little goes a long way so instead of going all out with a top-shelf liquor-stocked bar immediately following the ceremony, consider offering a lighter selection of cocktails—at least for the cocktail hour. White wine spritzers, sangria, a selection of local beer, mango martini. There are a lot of ways to be smart with your selection without sucking the life out of the party. Once the party moves indoors for dinner (or even if you’re outside for the duration of the night), you can progress to stiffer drinks as dinner winds down.
Are guests feeling sweaty? Hot? Flushed? Make sure everyone has a way to freshen up. Find containers that match your wedding-day decor—galvanized tin buckets, vintage wooden crates, ornate ceramic boxes—and use them to house freshen-up essentials: mini-deodorants, sunscreen, blotters, bug spray, mints, mini water bottles, and so on. A little refreshment will go a long way in the hot summer sun!
If you are getting married in an open space that has zero shade, build your own shade by renting a tent. You won’t regret it! Another way to bless your guests is to create for them a comfy area where they can take a rest. Whether they are tired from dancing or from being in the sun, this will be a great place for them to relax and enjoy your wedding from a different angle. We love mixing antique chairs with benches and even providing cool clothes for people to pat themselves with!

Encoring compositions is not the usual order of things at MusicNOW. But with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s new-music series opening its 20th anniversary season Monday night at the Harris Theater, it made eminent sense to revisit some highlights of the past two decades.
Current CSO composers in residence Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek were the gracious hosts, ceding the evening’s selections to their seven predecessors, most of whom played a part in launching and guiding the series.
The program offering a well-judged cross-section of music, making one marvel at the quality and stylistic variety of those who have held the CSO composers in residence post. To their credit, four of the composers were in the house for the event (John Corigliano, Shulamit Ran, Augusta Read Thomas, and Mason Bates).
Anna Clyne’s Fits + Starts for amplified cello and tape led off the evening. Clyne’s work is surely crafted, packing a lot into just six minutes. Presented without the distracting dancers of the work’s 2014 MusicNOW debut, one could concentrate more on the music, where Brant Taylor’s performance proved even more compelling than three years ago. The CSO cellist was clearly in synch with Clyne’s mix of edgy drive and high lyric flights against backing prerecorded tape (viola, cello and harpsichord).
Taylor was also heard in Osvaldo Golijov’s Mariel, partnered with colleague Cynthia Yeh, the CSO’s principal percussionist. Written by Golijov following the death of a friend in a car accident, Mariel is one of the composer’s most intimate and touching works. Taylor and Yeh were in symbiotic accord, bringing an affecting delicacy to their playing, with Yeh coaxing an uncommon degree of dynamic nuance from her marimba.
As in many of her works, Shulamit Ran draws on her Israeli heritage in Birkat Haderekh for mixed quartet. A concise “song without words” with a more urgent middle section, Ran’s work doesn’t offer a whole lot beyond its surface color and ethnic flavoring, but violinist Yuan-Qing Yu, cellist Kenneth Olsen, clarinetist J. Lawrie Bloom and pianist Winston Choi (aka the Civitas Ensemble) delivered an atmospheric, boldly projected performance with Bloom making the most of his klezmer-flavored solos.
John Corigliano turns 80 next year and it was fitting to give the CSO’s first composer in residence two works on the roster. In his video interview, Corigliano stated that his CSO composer residency was “a life-changing experience,” largely because of the orchestra’s commissioning and premiere of his Symphony No. 1. Championed by incoming music director Daniel Barenboim, Corigliano’s deeply felt symphony–inspired by the deaths of several friends from AIDS–remains one of his finest achievements. and is long overdue for revival by the CSO.
Corigliano was represented by two works. A Black November Turkey, heard in the composer’s string quartet arrangement, is a comical “barnyard allegory,” with the “inane patter of clucking chickens” hard to miss as a missile aimed at clueless music critics. Violinists Yu and Hermigne Gagne, violist Danny Lai and cellist Olsen put across a witty, rambunctious performance.
Stephanie Jeong was the violin soloist in Corigliano’s Red Violin Caprices, one of the many concert works the composer has mined from his score for the popular 1997 film. Jeong delivered a powerful tour de force performance, sensitively serving the pages of introspective melancholy and throwing off Corigliano’s artful retake on 19th-century Paganini-esque fiddle fireworks with blazing virtuosity and panache. It was wonderful to see the veteran composer join the CSO’s young associate concertmaster for a double curtain call.
Mason Bates was represented with The Life of Birds for mixed quartet (flute, clarinet, violin and cello). This is one of Bates’ most charming and successful creations, cleverly blending birdsong elements for the wind players with lively sections and a dark-hued Bernsteinian lyricism in five varied movements. Flutist Jennifer Gunn and clarinetist John Bruce Yeh made the most of the evocative avian writing with equally dedicated support by violinist Baird Dodge and cellist Olsen.
Augusta Read Thomas held the CSO’s composer in residence post for nine years, a record unlikely to be broken anytime soon. Violinist Dodge reprised his 2006 world premiere of Thomas’s Carillon Sky, a compact chamber concerto. Dodge gave fine advocacy to Thomas’s restless solo lines conveying her intention of creating a “captured improvisation.” Less successful is the busy, overscored stridency of the backing chamber orchestra, although conductor Cliff Colnot balanced the forces as well as possible.
Music of Mark-Anthony Turnage closed the evening. Via video, the British composer amusingly introduced his No Let Up by calling it “quite minimalist and quite nasty.” Scored for 11 players including pairs of soprano saxophones and bass clarinets, No Let Up displays Turnage’s brand of rock-inspired concert music at its most joyously driving and aggressive.
If Monday’s performance wasn’t the last word in raw intensity, Colnot kept the chugging rhythms and dark wind textures clear, and the performance provided an aptly rousing close to a fitting musical celebration.

The iconic Ossipoff-designed Liljestrand home on Tantalus has lost none of its former glory.
Ossipoff’s trademark combination of copper, wood, glass, steel and stone created an understated elegance evident in the home’s dramatic deck and living room beam structure.
Dubbed the frank lloYd wright of warm-weather shelter, Vladimir Ossipoff changed the waY many residents aspired to live in Hawai‘i. His 60-year career in Hawai‘i included the design of major public spaces and more than a thousand homes. but no where else is his atmospheric use of dark woods, deep overhangs, oversized windows and huge sliding doors on more magnificent display than at the Liljestrand home on tantalus.
Located a thousand feet above honolulu on a magical acre of eucalyptus trees in 1952, the Liljestrand house still captures the vivid imagination of design enthusiasts more than six decades later. The house is recognized as an outstanding example of mid-20th century modern architecture and has both national and Hawai‘i landmark status.
Yet its creation began only after its architect and future owners made separate and unlikely journeys toward Hawai‘i.
Ossipoffwas born in Russia, raised in Japan, then educated at the University of California, Berkeley. afterwards, he arrived in Honolulu in the 1930s ripe to combine California’s modernist movement with Japanese craftsmanship and materials.
During the same period, Howard and Betty Liljestrand were en route to china when political turmoil forced them to relocate to Hawai‘i. Dr. Liljestrand became an o‘ahu plantation physician, housing his family in a then-remote aiea spot surrounded by miles of sugar cane, now the location of Alvah Scott school, before finding the tantalus site that became their home.
In stark contrast to the city below it, much of tantalus remains set aside as forest reserve, making the Liljestrand’s setting all the more dramatic today. The structure is rooted in the hillside but opens to views of the rainforest, city and ocean panorama around it.
Those perfectly framed views grew out of Ossipoff’s yearlong study of the location. his weekly site visits allowed the house to become organically grounded among the trees. every tree possible was left standing by curving in the lines of the master wing.
Ossipoff’s perfectionism was shared by Betty Liljestrand, who served as the home’s general contractor during its two years of construction. working with the two Japanese master craftsmen Ossipoff choose for the job, betty learned to say “wait” in Japanese whenever she saw work not to her liking. her son, Bob Liljestrand, recounts that she would then call Ossipoff, who was fluent in Japanese, and explain the problem.
In her personal notes. Betty described the sensation of being at home in a more modest voice.
Though the house is virtually untouched since its creation, Howard and Betty’s children now work to create a future life for the house “beyond architecture frozen in time,” says bob.

Last Action Hero (1993) is a self-aware, meta-action, comedy film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger that challenges the action movie tropes of the late 80's and early 90's. It has so many cameos and easter eggs that only Ready Player One can beat the sheer volume of them. This week IOTR updates Last Action Hero to modern action movie standards adding new tropes that proliferate the modern action film. Join us as we remake Last Action Hero!

I’ve had my TSX for 5 months (although I barely drove it the entire month of June due to very VERY bad tires and various trips). So far I’ve put over 4000 miles on it and have loved all of them (just rolled over 192k). 4k miles may not sound like much, but I only drove my Lexus 3500 miles in the full year I owned that, so I’ve driven over twice as much in less than half the time. It’s just a fun car to drive and the only repairs I’ve done have been new tires (and a patch for one after I got a little too zealous on a gravel road), fixing a cruise control button (for free) and cosmetics which all total up to $425. That’s a huge difference from my Lexus, which cost me $1600 in repairs alone. My Acura has been problem free and simply a joy to own. So far I’m $4425 into it, or around about what the car is worth according to KBB.
Here’s to many more miles and many more smiles!

Additional Resources › Ask A Vet › My Hamster Has a Bump on His Stomach That Itches - How Can I Help Him?
I have a one-year-old male dwarf hamster that has a bump on his tummy. It looks like a scab where his belly button would be, and the area around it is bald because he scratches it so much. What I can do for him?
I recommend that you have your hamster seen by a veterinarian. Itching in hamsters can be caused by a few different things. With the baldness and the scab present, it concerns me that it will only get worse if not treated.
Your veterinarian can examine your hamster and let you know what may be causing the itching. The treatment that he needs will depend on the cause of the itching.
