Singapore's air force conducts alternate runway exercise
SINGAPORE, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) — The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) Sunday conducted "Exercise Torrent," in which public road was converted into a runway for aircraft take-off and landing.
The alternate exercise, which was last conducted in 2008 and now is in its seventh edition, aims to increase RSAF's aircraft take-off and landing capability.
This year's exercise saw Lim Chu Kang Road in Singapore's northwest part being converted into a temporary aircraft runway where planes took off and landed in quick succession, and new F-15SG planes participated in the exercise for the first time.
Singapore's Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen said this exercise aims to enhance the operational readiness of RSAF, and shows RSAF's confidence.

I understand that it's not your thing, but it is mine. When you say it's disgusting, you're calling me disgusting. Which, fine, but would you say to my face "Wow, you're disgusting!"? No? Well, then don't say it about my piercings. It's the same thing.
And I'm insecure enough as it is. When you say things like that, it hurts. Really.
But I'm not going to change my mind just because you think I'm stupid. If it bothers you that much, just stay away from me. I'm not forcing you to spend time with me.

Review: Little Girl Lost by Brian McGilloway
I think I picked up this book because I picked it from Amazon Kindle first months ago and finally had a chance to read it. A multi layered tale, the clues are subtly included in the At the start of "Little Girl Lost" a young child is found, wandering the snowy woods in her nightclothes, with no identification and an unwillingness to talk.
Alexa Actionable Analytics for the Web. Hurt DS Lucy Black. This standalone thriller is cleverly constructed, packed with vibrant and believable characters and admirably free of the cliches of the genre.
Review: Little Girl Lost by Brian McGilloway –
There is also a tense atmosphere of sexism, office politics, social unrest and the pressures caused by the Irish financial crisis, an atmosphere which this author conveys very well. McGilloway's treatment of fragile family bonds is outstanding – there are so many emotions running throughout the novel, and they are masterfully woven together to create a powerful and poignant novel about how our past defines are future, and the lengths some people will go to to ensure the past stays buried.
It was difficult reading and picturing Lucy in my mind. I particularly like Stand alone police procedural by the much respected author of the Devlin books. May 05, Jenny rated it really liked it Shelves: However, I have had to mark it down because of the author's liberal use of acronyms. I thought is was odd that every male she encountered had to look at her with interest more than casually. I didn't understand the significance of this because it literally happened with every male in the book and she would just look past it.
I really hope Detective Sergeant Lucy Black is given more personality as the series progresses. Please try again later.
Music Love Drugs War She doesn't find Kate but she does find Alice – half frozen and unable, or unwilling, to speak. The most emotion she showed was when a brina was murdered. I love the twist and turns Brian McGilloway put into his plot. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good mystery thriller.
See 1 question llttle Little Girl Lost…. Pregnant Dublin woman receives perfect proposal as gender reveal Fairly flat and shallow, for a detective and CID wannabe she and likely the author had only the most rudimentary knowledge of police procedure and zero questio As it was set in Ireland, I was unfamiliar with a lot of the names, places, and terms used like wains, bap, slapper, Provosbut that really didn't bother me as I know how to use google. A milk truck gets stuck in the snow and as the driver is looking over the situation, he sees a little girl in pajamas at the edge of the nearby woods.
Honestly, there were times at night when I did not losst to read this book because there were parts that were not easy to read and a little frightening. But somehow it all seems so plausible. As a writer trying to assert his presence on the international scene, McGilloway is keenly conscious of the peripherality of Ireland — and the Northwest — within the broader European context.

Tiger Woods to take 'indefinite leave' from golf
The man who gave us a new meaning for The Nineteenth Hole is to pack up for a bit, to repair his marriage.
I watch a bit of golf, so this is good news. We'll see a bit more of the other players now, and less of "Tiger watching his opponent prepare for a shot", "Tiger walking down the fairway", "Tiger walking between holes", "Tiger looks at the clouds" and "Tiger eating a banana" which all seems to take up 50% of broadcast time.

If the presidential election goes Stevie Nicks' way, she might be singing "Landslide" at Hillary Clinton's inauguration.
It wouldn't be the first time she celebrated a Clinton victory. During the 1992 U.S. presidential campaign, Bill Clinton used "Don't Stop" as his official theme song, which parlayed into a Fleetwood Mac reunion at his inaugural ball. Oh, the '90s.
Before Nicks embarks on a cross-country solo tour to promote her two most recent releases, 2011's "In Your Dreams" and and the 2014 album "24 Karat Gold: Songs From the Vault," she sat down with The New York Times to go on the record as a Hillary supporter and suggest a new theme song.
We're all kind of over "Fight Song," right?
"Of course I'm for Hillary Clinton," she said. "It's hard to think of anything as amazing as that song was for Bill. He picked it out when he was driving around in a cab somewhere years before. When she wins by a landslide, I could gather together the Dixie Chicks, Billy Corgan and everybody who's ever sung a version of 'Landslide.' It's not up-tempo, but it certainly would get the message across."
Watch Fleetwood Mac and (Twist!) Michael Jackson perform "Don't Stop" at Bill Clinton's 1993 inaugural gala below:

Hemp Bombs is based in Tampa, Florida, and in addition to focusing on the purity and therapeutic effectiveness of their products, are dedicated to establishing themselves as a top brand in the industry with a specific target audience. One of our personal favorite products of theirs is the flavored CBD vape liquids, which are some of the best-tasting CBD vape juices we've ever had.
Hello- I've been taking a very excellent quality of CBD for several months. My specific pain issues are cleared up a 100%. But I do have a lingering headache all the time. I can barely take 9-10 mg of this CBD or I will end up with a throbbing head. It is hit or miss sometimes. I think I'm noticing if I take it with coffee the headache is worse. This particular CBD oil has clary sage, lavender and Passion flower in it for menopause. It has really helped my cycle as I am perimenopausal. But, why or why do I have a headaches? It's not crappy CBD, I can promise you that. But, should I try another one? I love the ESO for my cycle. I'm so distraught. I have coccydynia and CBD has changed my life. NO MORE pain with sitting and working out. At the same time I don't want to live a life of headaches either. Any suggestions?
Since it started becoming popular roughly two years or so ago, the general consensus has always been that since CBD oil from top brands does not contain the psychoactive properties of THC, it is therefore legal. Unfortunately, its legality is much more nuanced because of conflicting federal laws and new court cases. What is clear is that in one of the most recent court decisions on the topic, Hemp Industries Assoc. v. DEA, which came out on April 30, 2018, the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit found that Section 7606 of the 2014 US Farm Bill (the "Farm Bill") preempts the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), the federal law which designates marijuana as a Schedule I substance (along with heroin and cocaine) making it illegal to possess or use. This means that when there is conflict between the CSA and the Farm Bill, the Farm Bill wins out.
As mentioned above, CBDPure is a natural oil extracted through cold pressing and CO2 procedures from Cannabis sativa. Specialists have identified over 80 compounds known as cannabinoids. Their research so far showed that CBD is the predominant cannabinoid, accounting for over 40% of the cannabinoids concentration. It is also the most beneficial for human health, at least from the cannabinoids studied so far.
After consulting with Amanda Chantal Bacon of Moon Juice, I decided to invest in a bottle of Gone Green Hemp CBD Oil in the 500mg tincture. Gone Green is a really incredible company that only sources the best herbs, adaptogens, and superfoods, so I knew I would be getting a very high-quality product when I grabbed their bottle off of Moon Juice's shelf. You can buy Gone Green's Hemp CBD Oil online—it's 100% legal in all 50 states. They have the best customer service ever, and they carry tons of other fantastic products that any health-conscious person would love!
While the other CBD oil stores have high-quality products, our choice simply came down to variety, potency and price. Whichever you choose to go for, though, know that all of the companies above have an outstanding store and offer a wide range of effective products, from CBD oils to Terps and even CBD creams. Plus, most have a 100% money back guarantee policy, which is quite nice!
During period, women usually experience alot of pain due to menstrual cramps. The cramps begin up to a week before the period starts, and can continue during and even after the period is over. This is a terrible situation and can affect some women so severely such that it can make it difficult for them to go about with their daily activities. Fortunately, cannabidiol oil can help alleviate the feeling of the menstrual cramps and can allow them to get back to their day to day life.
CBD Vape Oil is very popular and can be used with a suitable vaporizer. Since this oil is generally viscous, it needs a device that can work with it. Therefore, it cannot be used with all vaporizers. Make sure you have a suitable vaporizer before using a CBD vape oil. CBD Vape oils have different concentrations and flavors. Adding terpenes also contributes to the effect.
I know this is gonna sound hilarious, but I am actually researching for a friend. Seriously, I'm a nurse in New York. My friend, age 73 and suffering from end stage copd. He's on oxygen and tells me his O2 level has dropped in the 60's — very dangerous levels. He has passed out before. Anyway, he has been taking CBD about a month and has little effects (positive or negative). He is slowly increasing the amount but is now experiencing "bad taste" for the past three days. As one who has never smoked or ingested CBD's, I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?
However, like we just mentioned CBD oil for pain management that has been sourced from industrial hemp grown under the farm bill is in fact legal to buy and sell. The best CBD oil brands that we cover here on this site, claim to extract their concentrates from U.S.-based industrial hemp supplies, which if true, are 100% legal since they contain negligible amounts of THC.
When it comes to using CBD, questions keep coming up, especially from people who try CBD for the first time. Since there are different CBD products and because CBD can be used in different ways, the question of how to use CBD oil is quite legitimate. What CBD products are available, how they can be used, and the bioavailability of each product is covered in this article.
Featuring the same benefits as our pure RSHO™ hemp oil in a reduced potency, another of our midrange products, RSHO™ liquid, contains 31 mg of CBD per serving. Available in Green, Blue, and Gold Label oils, RSHO™ liquid combines our flagship RSHO™ with medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil derived from wholesome coconut oil and sustainably sourced palm oil. Unlike RSHO™ pure hemp oils, RSHO™ liquid doesn't need to be refrigerated, making it convenient to store wherever you need it most.

The color scheme that is chosen for the home creates the initial impression that an individual has of the premises as a whole. Whether complimentary or unflattering colors are selected, the house will gain an identity of its own when the paint is applied. There are many times that a homeowner misses opportunities to accentuate positive attributes that the home has to offer by failing to choose the best exterior paint colors.
Distinct Painting has painted the exterior of my home as well as stained and finished the interior of my wood trimmed windows. I am very pleased with the results. Kane and his employees were a pleasure to work with. The quality of their work exceeds the quality that I've experienced in many other jobs done on my home through the years. They worked around some very difficult challenges in staining my new wood windows, that were due to prior work done in the home. I felt they went above and beyond to ensure my complete satisfaction. A job well done. I highly recommend Distinct Painting to anyone for painting, staining, and finishing work.
Buying a can of premium paint, then bait and switch over to low-line products? Again, complete nonsense. Think about it for a moment; the Painter needs 5 gallons of wall finish. So, he buys one can of premium and the rest 'cheap'? How is he going to hide the 4 other gallons? What's he going to hide it in??? He only has ONE gallon of premium. It's not as though he's going to keep older can labels, they would be covered in paint of a different colour.

For interior paint I prefer the semi-gloss, provides a very subtle sheen and is super easy to clean -no flaking, chipping, etc. I've painted a lot, and found that Sherwin Williams Ovation paint has been the easiest to use, and provides the best coverage. I even painted my ceilings with it and WOW! I was done it no time at all, with perfect coverage.
Wow, James Lee's painters are amazing- David and his team were professional, worked incredibly fast, did not make mistakes, and even did some extra work for us free of charge. This is one of the best businesses I have ever found through yelp over the last 10+ years. We got three different bids to paint our home and James Lee's was significantly lower than our highest but also quite a bit more than our lowest (although I do believe the lowest bid painters were planning on painting much less & cutting some corners). James gave us the most professional & comprehensive bid we received, just as others have mentioned. He had a wonderful portfolio of work and I am so glad we chose his painters for our home. Apparently James Lee gets a price cut from Dunn Edwards Paint because they purchase A LOT of paint and it 100% felt like this discount was passed on to my family. David and his painting team were able to start working even sooner than they had told us originally and they finished much faster than we expected. This was so helpful to us since we were able to start moving things into our new home once they completed their work. We are so happy with the paint colors we chose; David made it easy for us by painting 3 different samples on the outside of the house to help us look at them as the light changed on the house for different times of day. We loved that he offered this to us since we were having trouble picking between 3 different shades of green. David took so much pride in his work and was really wonderful about communicating with us each step of the way. His crew painted the interior AND exterior of our home in maybe a week or less. I love how they painted our pipes outside of the house to match the colors- I'll attach a picture to show what I mean. Their attention to detail was fantastic! They seriously did not miss a spot and there was zero paint in any place that it wasn't supposed to be! Not only did they paint our home- they also helped reattach a drain pipe that had partially come off the home, removed a small bee or wasps nest hanging off a side of the roof (this was SO nice of them and totally unexpected), and painted over some railings that were in serious need of TLC but were not included in our quote (we didn't ask for them to be painted when James came to meet with us). David asked my husband first about the railings and only painted them when he gave them the okay- it looks so much better and we appreciated this so much! While the painters were working we also had a termite inspection and contractor come over to look at something in the kitchen- David's team had no problem with this and were very accommodating. The only room we didn't paint was the kitchen.. when we decide what color we want we will definitely be giving James Lee another call. If you want a no hassle experience & beautiful professional paint job for a very fair price these are the painters you should hire.
"I chose Orlando Painting Company based off a friends recommendation. They helped me pick colors, but also gave me the freedom to use whatever I wanted. They used high quality paint and were easy to communicate with. When the painting day came, they had a good sized crew and were able to apply two coats within 8 hours. Patrick, the owner came by to check on the work done by his team and was always available to answer any questions I had. They did a fantastic job at a good price and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone."
Next, undercut the trim to create a gap (Photo 3). When you're done, scrape any dirt or gunk out of the gap with a putty knife and blow out the dust using a vacuum or air compressor. To avoid staining the concrete, run at least three layers of masking tape under the wood. Apply repellent to all bare wood (Photo 4) including the underside (Photo 5). Bend a putty knife in a vise to make a handy tool for reaching into tight areas. Remove the tape right after application.
Repaint — exteriors especially — before visible signs of wear appear, Bancroft says. Don't wait until you see peeling or flaking paint. "If I have to spend 40 hours preparing the surface before we can paint, that time is going to result in a lot of extra costs. But if I can spend 10 hours preparing the surfaces to be painted, you're going to save money," Freeman says.
Spills and spatters happen, regardless of how careful you are. It's a lot easier to pre- pare for them than to wipe them out of your carpeting or off your wood floor later. All it takes is canvas drop cloths in your work area (a 4-ft. x 15-ft. cloth costs $15). The thick canvas stays in place, so you don't need to tape it, and you can use it to cover any surface. Plastic drop cloths are slippery to walk on or set a ladder on and don't stay in place. Even worse, paint spills on plastic stay wet, and they can end up on your shoes and get tracked through the house. Canvas is slippery on hard floors, so rosin paper ($10 for 400 sq. ft. at home centers) is better over vinyl, tile and hard- wood. Tape the sheets together and to the floor to provide a nonslip surface.
I used to work at Sherwin Williams. The best thing to do is specify that you will purchase your own paint. If the painter objects strenuously, he was plaanning on making money in the ways this article outlines. You might pay a few dollars more for paint, but you will have control of the quality of what goes on your walls. Never skimp on paint quality.

Ideally, you want as much paint on the brush as you can control without making drips or blobs. To do this, Doherty dips his brush about 1 1/2 inches into the paint, then taps (not wipes) each side of the brush against the side of the can. Tapping knocks off the drips and forces the paint into the bristles. "The brush releases the paint just like a fountain pen," he says. Weeks agrees, saying, "Just be sure to keep your brush moving, or it'll start to drip." For more delicate work, such as when you're painting trim or window sash, you'll want less paint on the brush. Doherty again dips and taps his brush, but this time he also scrapes the sides against his can. "The outside bristles are drier and easier to manage," he says, "but there's still plenty of paint on the brush."
For interior jobs, make sure you've cleaned all of the awkward spots, including behind the toilet, and picked up any knickknacks that might get in the way (e.g., soap containers, loofahs, and kitchen organizers). Removing the switch plates and outlet covers from the walls also goes a long way toward speeding up painting time—and painters' time is (your) money.

Most pros don't bother cleaning brushes and rollers if they are going to use them the next day on the same job. "Latex paint dries slowly in cold temperatures," says Maceyunas. For two-day jobs, he wraps the rollers and brushes in plastic grocery bags and sticks them in the refrigerator. "Just allow the roller to return to room temperature before reusing it," he says. Roller covers are almost impossible to clean thoroughly. Most pros buy new covers for each job.

BOB: A Blockchain Phone
November 29, 2019
Remember the comment by some FBI officials about going dark. The darkness is now spreading. "Meet BOB, World's First Modular Blockchain-Powered Smartphone" reports that a crypto currency centric phone may become more widely available.
The write up states:
BOB runs on Function X OS, which is an open-source operating system. As it uses the blockchain ecosystem, every task on the phone, be it sending texts, making calls, browsing the web, and file sharing, all happen on a decentralized network, making it highly encrypted and thus secure. Each unit of the BOB is a node that supports the entire Function X blockchain system.
DarkCyber thinks that Mr. Comey was anticipating these types of devices as well as thinking about Facebook's encrypted message systems.
For more details, consult the TechRadar article.
One important point: The BOB has a headphone jack. Even those concerned about privacy and secrecy like their tunes.

Secure Data? Maybe after a Data Loss?
November 27, 2019
Amid discussions of data breaches, one huge source of risk is often overlooked. Information Management warns us about "Unstructured Data: The Hidden Threat in Digital Business." Writer Bernadette Nixon believes too many companies look at only their structured data when they plan security—sources like databases, spreadsheets, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. However, the prevalence of unstructured data in business is growing, and procedures for securing it are not keeping up. Nixon writes:
"Unstructured data has become an integral part of how organizations conduct digital business. It's often what enables an easier, faster customer experience. For example, would you rather fill out generic forms detailing your car's damage or instantly share an image with an insurance agent? For convenience, we are all likely to opt to share unstructured data with an organization and businesses will continue to incorporate it into processes for exactly that reason. To that end, it's no surprise that Gartner predicts that, by 2022, 80 percent of all global data will be unstructured. With the growth of unstructured data comes the unfortunate truth that it is much more difficult to control and secure than structured data. If an employee is taking information in the form of unstructured data and inputting it elsewhere, they might store the original document or picture on a local file share or leave it in an email as an attachment. Within one organization, the process for handling documents could vary across employees and teams and it's entirely likely that management has no idea this is taking place."
In order for organizations to plug this security gap, Nixon has some suggestions. Make it a priority for the IT department to secure unstructured data right away, before an issue comes up. Determine just what unstructured data is on hand and where it is stored, keeping in mind this might differ from one department to another. Finally, delineate clear, standardized procedures for handling and storing this data from the time it enters the system to the time it is destroyed. Ideally, as much of this workflow would be automated, saving time, removing responsibility from individual workers, and ensuring the process is followed correctly.

The Cost of Indifference and the Value of Data Governance
November 23, 2019
The DarkCyber team suggests a peek at "Unsecured Server Exposes 4 Billion Records, 1.2 Billion People." The write up states:
The data itself comes from the data aggregator and enrichment companies People Data Labs (PDL) and OxyData.Io and contains basic personal information, such as names, home and mobile phone numbers and email addresses and what may be information scraped from LinkedIn, Facebook and other social media sources.
The write up points out that the data losses included:
- Over 1.5 billion unique people, including close to 260 million in the U.S.
- Over 1 billion personal email addresses. Work email for 70%+ decision makers in the US, UK, and Canada.
- Over 420 million LinkedIn URLs.
- Over 1 billion Facebook URLs and IDs.
- 400 million plus phone numbers with more than 200 million U.S.-based valid cell phone numbers.
The hosting provider may have been Amazon AWS. The software system was Elasticsearch. The individuals were those who set up the system.
Without reploughing a somewhat rocky field, one might suggest that default settings for cloud services, software, and passwords need a rethink. One might want to think about the staff assigned to the job of setting up the system. One might want to think about the sources of the information the company named in the article tapped. In short, one could think about quite a few points of failure.
Another approach might be to raise the question of responsibility. I suppose this is a type of governance, a term which refers to figuring out what's to be done and how to complete tasks without creating this all-too-common situation of whizzy systems' functioning as convenience stores for those who want data.
A few observations:
First, the individuals involved in setting up this system were not, it seems, managed particularly well. That's a problem when managers don't know what to stipulate their contractors and employees must do to secure online services. These "individuals" work at different organizations. Thus, coordination and checks are difficult. But the alternative? Loss of data.
Second, the developers of the software understand the security implications of certain user actions. The fix is to purchase additional security. Security is not baked in. Security is an option. That approach may generate revenue, but the quest for revenue seems to have a downside. Loss of data.
Third, the operators of the cloud system continue to follow the "just a platform" approach to business. The idea is that the functionality of a cloud system makes it easy to deploy an application. In a hurry? No problem. Use the basics. Want something special? That takes time, and when done in a careless or partial way, loss of data.
It seems that "loss of data" may be preventable but loss of data is part of the standard operating procedure in the present managerial environment.
How does the problem become lessened? Governance. Will companies and individuals step up and go through the difficult task of figuring out what and how before losing data?
Unlikely. Painful lessons like the one revealed in the source article slip like rain water off the windshield of a car speeding down the information superhighway.
Dangerous? Sure. Will drivers slow down? Nope. The explanation after an accident was, "I don't know. Car just skidded." There's insurance for automobile accidents. For cloud data wrecks, no consequences of a meaningful nature. Just blog posts. These are effective?
I will be talking about how the tendrils of the Dark Web and security lapses may create a greater interest in data governance. Exciting? Only if you were one of the billion or so whose personally identifiable information was put online in a less than secure way. I will be at the DG Vision Conference in Washington, DC, early in December 2019.

Remounting the Pegasus Named NSO
November 15, 2019
Those who care about security will want to check out the article, "Pegasus Spyware: All You Need to Know" from the Deccan Herald. Approximately 1,400 smartphones belonging to activists, lawyers, and journalists across four continents suffered cyber attacks that exploited a WhatsApp vulnerability, according to a statement from that company. They say the attacks used the Pegasus software made by (in)famous spyware maker NSO Group. Though the Israeli spyware firm insists only licensed government intelligence and law enforcement agencies use their products, WhatsApp remains unconvinced; the messaging platform is now suing NSO over this.
The article gives a little history on Pegasus and the investigation Citizen Lab and Lookout Security undertook in 2016. We learn the spyware takes two approaches to hacking into a device. The first relies on a familiar technique: phishing. The second, and much scarier, was not a practical threat until now. Writer David Binod Shrestha reports:
"The zero-click vector is far more insidious as it does not require the target user to click or open a link. Until the WhatsApp case, no example of this was seen in real-world usage. Zero-click vectors generally function via push messages that automatically load links within the SMS. Since a lot of recent phones can disable or block push messages, a workaround has evidently been developed. WhatsApp, in its official statement, revealed that a vulnerability in their voice call function was exploited, which allowed for 'remote code execution via specially crafted series of packets sent to a target phone number.' Basically, the phones were infected via an incoming call, which even when ignored, would install Pegasus on the device. The data packets containing the spyware code were carried via the internet connection and a small backdoor for its installation was immediately opened when the phone rang. The call would then be deleted from the log, removing any visible trace of infection. The only way you will know if your phone has been infected in the recent attacks is once WhatsApp notifies you via a message on the platform."
Pegasus itself targets iPhones, but Android users are not immune; a version Google has called Chrysaor focuses on Android. Both versions immediately compromise nearly all the phone's data (like personal data and passwords) and give hackers access to the mike and camera, live GPS location, keystroke logging, and phone calls. According to the Financial Times, the latest version of Pegasus can also access cloud-based accounts and bypass two-factor authentication. Perhaps most unnerving is the fact that all this activity is undetectable by the user. See the article for details on the spyware's self-destruct mechanism.
Shrestha shares a list of suggestions for avoiding a Pegasus attack. They are oft-prescribed precautions, but they bear repeating:
"*Never open links or download or open files sent from an unknown source
*Switch off push SMS messages in your device settings
*If you own an iPhone, do not jailbreak it yourself to get around restrictions
*Always install software updates and patches on time
*Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and locations services when not in use
*Encrypt any sensitive data located on your phone
*Periodically back up your files to a physical storage
*Do not blindly approve app permission requests"
For those who do fall victim to Pegasus, Citizen Lab suggests these remedies—they should delink their cloud accounts, replace their device altogether, change all their passwords, and take security more seriously on the new device. Ouch! Best avoid the attacks altogether.

Quantum Cryptography: Rain on the Parade
November 11, 2019
I know (not too well, which may be a good thing) who is trying to cash in the quantum gold rush. The angle for this entrepreneur is that quantum computing will allow government entities to break encryption.
The hitch in the git along is that there are bad actors who are involved in quantum computing. There are good actors who are creating quantum-safe cryptography with quantum computers.
Confused? Don't be. People who need to encrypt gravitate to the high horsepower computers. The people who want to break encryption do what's necessary to get access to quantum computers. The method used by Saudi Arabia to obtain specific social media data worked like a champ.
That brings me to "Komodo to Lead Blockchain Revolution with Quantum-Safe Cryptography." The write up says:
As a blockchain platform, Stadelmann said that Komodo is trying to solve the problem and has implemented quantum-safe cryptographic solutions for the past couple of years which will not be able to crack cryptographic signatures. Using an IBM-built technology, known as Dilithium, into its blockchain platform, he said the new digital signature algorithm will create a key which cannot be cracked by a quantum computer.
Sounds good. Just another cat and mouse game. The people working to cash in on this scare tactic may find that organizations face the status quo, not doomsday. Confused? Just the status quo perhaps?

The Golden Age of Surveillance
November 1, 2019
Back in 2016, then-FBI general counsel Jim Baker famously fought tooth and nail to force Apple to grant the Bureau access to an encrypted phone following a terrorist attack in San Bernardino. (The FBI eventually found another way to access the data, so the legal issue was sidestepped.) Now we learn Baker has evolved on the issue in the write-up, "Former FBI General Counsel who Fought Apple Has Now 'Rethought' Encryption" at 9To5Mac. Writer Ben Lovejoy pulls highlights from a lengthy piece Baker wrote for the Lawfare blog describing his current position on encryption. While he stands by his actions in the San Bernardino case, he now sees the need to balance law enforcement's need for information and the rest of society's need to protect valuable data from bad actors. Lovejoy writes:
"Baker says that strong encryption still poses a substantial problem for law enforcement, but he now recognizes that there is no way to square the circle of protecting both personal and government data on the one hand, and allowing law enforcement to access data on the other.
'A solution that focuses solely on law enforcement's concerns will have profound negative implications for the nation across many dimensions. I am unaware of a technical solution that will effectively and simultaneously reconcile all of the societal interests at stake in the encryption debate, such as public safety, cybersecurity and privacy as well as simultaneously fostering innovation and the economic competitiveness of American companies in a global marketplace.'
"He says that forcing US companies to create compromised systems would simply shift demand to foreign-made products that remain secure. Additionally, a lot can be done with metadata- that is, records of who contacted who, rather than what was said.
'Further, the situation for law enforcement may not actually be as bad as some claim. In fact, some argue that society is in a "golden age of surveillance" as substantially more data- especially metadata- than ever before is available for collection and analysis by law enforcement.'"
"Golden age of surveillance" indeed—the man has a point. He stresses, in particular, the importance of avoiding potential spyware in Chinese-made equipment. He urges government officials to embrace encryption as necessary or, if they refuse to do that, find another way to guard against existential cyber threats. He observes they have yet to do so effectively.

Another Cyber Firm Reports about Impending Doom
October 29, 2019
Identity intelligence firm 4iQ summarizes the results of recent research in the write-up, "Identity Protection & Data Breach Survey." They polled 2,300 participants regarding data breaches and identity protection issues. You can see a slide show of the results here that presents the results in graph-form.
Researchers found that fewer than half the respondents had been notified they were victims of a breach. Most of them were offered identity protections services as a result, but about half of those felt that fell short of adequately addressing the problem. We also learn:
"*Nearly 40% of respondents believe they have already suffered identity theft and more than half of respondents, 55%, believe that it's likely their personally identifiable information (PII) is already in the hands of criminals. As a result, 62% of respondents are concerned that their PII could be used by someone to commit fraud.
*More than half, 52%, of respondents said they would expect their own online security error to negatively or very negatively affect their standing with their employer—an additional stress for working Americans—so it's not surprising then, that 60% of respondents believe there's a 'blame-the-victim' problem with cybercrime.
*A strong majority, 63%, are concerned that prior breaches could lead to future identity fraud, and 37% believe they have already been a victim of fraud as a result of a cybercrime incident."
As for protecting personal identifiable information, 75% feel their employers are doing a fair to excellent job, but only 42% feel the government is do so effectively. They feel even less confident about their personal efforts, however, with only 15% calling themselves "very effective" (23% rated their employers as "very effective").
On that last point, 4iQ states it demonstrates that "everyday consumers may feel unprepared to contend with the threats presented by cybercrime," which is not surprising from a company that sells solutions to that problem. We know there are free and low-cost measures individuals can take to boost their own security, but some will be willing to pay for extra reassurance on top of those precautions. Based in Los Altos, California, 4iQ was founded in 2016.

Security Industry Blind Spot: Homogeneity
October 24, 2019
Push aside the mewlings about Facebook. Ignore Google's efforts to quash employee meetings about unionization. Sidestep the phrase "intelligent cloud revenue."
An possibly more significant item appeared in "Information Security Industry at Risk from Lack of Diversity." The write up states:
The Chartered Institute of Information Security (CIISec) finds that 89 percent of respondents to its survey are male, and 89 percent over 35, suggesting the profession is still very much in the hands of older men.
Furthermore, the security industry is wallowing in venture funding. That easy money has translated into a welter of security solutions. At cyber security conferences, one can license smart monitoring, intelligent and proactive systems, and automated responses.
The problem is that this security country club may be fooling itself and its customers.
The write up quotes from the CIISec report, presenting this segment:
"If the industry starts to attract a more diverse range of people whilst spreading awareness of the opportunity available, we could be well on the way to truly modernizing the industry," adds Finch. "Key to all this will be both organizations and individuals having a framework that can show exactly what skills are necessary to fulfill what roles. This will not only help hire the right people. It will also mean that it the routes to progress through an individual's career are clearly marked, ensuring that individuals who enthusiastically join the industry don't over time become jaded or burn out due to a lack of opportunity."
Partially correct opines DarkCyber. The security offered is a me-too approach. Companies find themselves struggling to implement and make use of today's solutions. The result? Less security and vendors who talk security but deliver confusion.
Meanwhile those bad actors continue to diversify, gain state support, and exploit what are at the end of a long day, vulnerable organizational systems.

NordVPN: An Insecure Security Service?
October 22, 2019
In 2016, one of the DarkCyber research team signed up for NordVPN. We wanted to test several of the companies offering enhanced security products. After filling out the form in April 2016, the service did not activate. We heard from a person calling herself "Christina." She was a floundering professional. We explained the misfire. The we heard from Zack in 2017 who wanted us to renew the service which was not available to the DarkCyber professionals. We concluded that NordVPN was more trouble than it was worth, and the company could take money via a credit card, fail to deliver the service, yet spam DarkCyber for a renewal. Now that's more than foundering. That's either clumsy, misguided, or what the Wall Street crowd calls Black Edge behavior.
We thought about Christine and Zack when we read "NordVPN Confirms It Was Hacked." If the write up is accurate, the security company NordVPN is not completely secure. The write up reports:
NordVPN, a virtual private network provider that promises to "protect your privacy online," has confirmed it was hacked. The admission comes following rumors that the company had been breached. It first emerged that NordVPN had an expired internal private key exposed, potentially allowing anyone to spin out their own servers imitating NordVPN.
We are fascinated with VPN services. Some are free and some like NordVPN seem to collect money and leave their systems vulnerable.
What's our recommendation? DarkCyber thinks ignoring NordVPN might be a pre-installation step to consider.
Oh, Christine, when you take money, you should deliver the product. And, Zack, no, DarkCyber will not renew.
Read the articles about NordVPN finding itself which may be the digital equivalent of a security soup from a questionable cafeteria.

Supremely Secure?
October 19, 2019
Suprema is a South Korean security company that specializes in cyber security. One of Suprema's products are a line of fingerprint readers. The BBC reports that the company was hacked, "Biostar 2: Suprema Plays Down Fingerprint Leak Report." A cyber security research group hacked Suprema's Biostar 2, accessed customer information, then alerted Suprema to the leak.
The cyber security research group's action was benign, but it did point to a flaw in the system and Suprema was not happy. Suprema assured their clients that none of the information was breached and that the amount of customers affected was very small. A South Korean police force was worried they were among the potential victims, but apparently no biometrics systems were exposed.
"The dispute over how big the leak was can be explained by the fact the researchers say they did not, for ethical reasons, attempt to download all the fingerprint files.Rather, they had taken "hundreds" of samples of data, said Mr Rotem. And these appeared to encode fingerprint patterns from a random selection of accounts in the Biostar 2 dataset. They then used Suprema's software to convert about half a dozen examples into visible fingerprint patterns. From this, they estimated the dataset contained "at least over a million" fingerprint patterns in total. "We have evidence that biometric data was leaked," Mr Rotem told BBC News."
The actual data sets were not downloaded due to ethnical reasons. The research team actually did Suprema a favor by pointing out the crack before bad actors access the system, but Suprema would have preferred that one of their system regulators had discovered the issue. It should not matter who found the leak, because customers were at stake. Suprema sells security, but does not practice it.

From Nature magazine The carbon clock is getting reset. One of the most striking examples of different dating methods confirming each other is Stonehenge. For example, from the s questions about the evolution of human behaviour were much more frequently seen in archaeology. Calibrated dates should also identify any programs, such as OxCal, used to perform the calibration. Clearly, there are factors other than age responsible for the straight lines obtained from graphing isotope ratios.
- He converted the carbon in his sample to lamp black soot and coated the inner surface of a cylinder with it.
- An international team of creationist scientists is actively pursuing a creationist understanding of radioisotope dating.
- So data are again selected according to what the researcher already believes about the age of the rock.
- Another currently popular dating method is the uranium-lead concordia technique.
- Gentry, Creation's Tiny Mystery.
Orphan radiohalos Decaying radioactive particles in solid rock cause spherical zones of damage to the surrounding crystal structure. Since the universe is estimated to be millions of years old, johnson city tn dating it was assumed that this equilibrium had already been reached. In all but two cases the scrolls were determined to be within years of the palaeographically determined age. These measurements are used in the subsequent calculation of the age of the sample.
The first such published sequence, based on bristlecone pine tree rings, was created by Wesley Ferguson. Are Eye Transplants Possible? It is not always possible to recognize re-use.

She says this is ok so long as you take into account the correction factors from dendrochronology. Glaciology Hydrogeology Marine geology. The sea is not nearly salty enough for this to have been happening for billions of years. This cylinder was inserted into the counter in such a way that the counting wire was inside the sample cylinder, in order that there should be no material between the sample and the wire.
The flood buried a huge amount of carbon, which became coal, oil, etc. The counters are surrounded by lead or steel shielding, to eliminate background radiation and to reduce the incidence of cosmic rays. Most of the tree-ring sequence is based on the bristlecone pine. The amount of cosmic rays reaching the Earth varies with the sun's activity, and with the Earth's passage through magnetic clouds as the solar system travels around the Milky Way galaxy. National Center for Science Education, 60 and over dating site Inc.
The isochron dating technique was thought to be infallible because it supposedly covered the assumptions about starting conditions and closed systems. At this point, the carbon dating data is simply disregarded. At its most basic level, carbon dating is the method of determining the age of organic material by measuring the levels of carbon found in it. Climate records from a Japanese lake are set to improve the accuracy of the dating technique, which could help to shed light on archaeological mysteries such as why Neanderthals became extinct.
- So, creationists who complain about double rings in their attempts to disprove C dating are actually grasping at straws.
- Sometimes carbon dating will agree with other evolutionary methods of age estimation, which is great.
- What the do the radiometric dates of millions of years mean, if they are not true ages?
This can be done with a thermal diffusion column. The starting conditions are known for example, that there was no daughter isotope present at the start, or that we know how much was there. Carbon is made when cosmic rays knock neutrons out of atomic nuclei in the upper atmosphere. What Are the Uses of X-Rays?
This half-life is very constant and will continue at the same rate forever. It does not give dates of millions of years and when corrected properly fits well with the biblical flood. Equilibrium is the name given to the point when the rate of carbon production and carbon decay are equal. Do you like or dislike what you have read? Additional complications come from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil, online dating stories and from the above-ground nuclear tests done in the s and s.
This only makes sense with a time-line beginning with the creation week thousands of years ago. Before the advent of radiocarbon dating, the fossilized trees had been dated by correlating sequences of annually deposited layers of sediment at Two Creeks with sequences in Scandinavia. Similarly, groundwater can contain carbon derived from the rocks through which it has passed. These techniques, unlike carbon dating, mostly use the relative concentrations of parent and daughter products in radioactive decay chains.
Their responses are numbered below. Bayesian statistical techniques can be applied when there are several radiocarbon dates to be calibrated. You have no free articles left. For example, researchers applied posterior reasoning to the dating of Australopithecus ramidus fossils.
Answers to Creationist Attacks on Carbon Dating
Other factors affecting carbon dating
The concentration of a parent radioactive isotope, such as rubidium, is graphed against the concentration of a daughter isotope, such as strontium, for all the samples. Organisms capture a certain amount of carbon from the atmosphere when they are alive. If it does not entirely contradict them, we put it in a footnote.
If the techniques were absolutely objective and reliable, such information would not be necessary. Radioactive decay releases helium into the atmosphere, but not much is escaping. The reliability of the results can be improved by lengthening the testing time.
How Accurate is Carbon Dating Labmate Online
When lava at the ridges hardens, it keeps a trace of the magnetism of the earth's magnetic field. So a bone, or a leaf or a tree, or even a piece of wooden furniture, highschool hook up contains carbon. Dormant volcanoes can also emit aged carbon. It is simply that all observations must fit the prevailing paradigm.
The resulting data, in the form of a calibration curve, is now used to convert a given measurement of radiocarbon in a sample into an estimate of the sample's calendar age. Numerous models, or stories, have been developed to explain such data. Specifically, each nucleus will lose an electron, a process which is referred to as decay. Testing radiometric dating methods If the long-age dating techniques were really objective means of finding the ages of rocks, they should work in situations where we know the age.
Carbon Dating Gets a Reset
Even before the tree-ring calibration data were available to them, he and the archeologist, Evzen Neustupny, were able to suggest how much this would affect the radiocarbon dates. In Australia, some wood found the Tertiary basalt was clearly buried in the lava flow that formed the basalt, as can be seen from the charring. Older dates have been obtained by using special sample preparation techniques, large samples, and very long measurement times.
By contrast, methane created from petroleum showed no radiocarbon activity because of its age. Two distinct sediment layers have formed in the lake every summer and winter over tens of thousands of years. Journal of the Franklin Institute. This effect is known as isotopic fractionation.

Sasseville, A., Benhaberou-Brun, D., Fontaine, C., Charon, M. - C., & Hebert, M. (2009). Wearing blue-blockers in the morning could improve sleep of workers on a permanent night schedule: a pilot study. Chronobiol Int, 26(5), 913–925.
Abstract: Night shiftworkers often complain of disturbed sleep during the day. This could be partly caused by morning sunlight exposure during the commute home, which tends to maintain the circadian clock on a daytime rhythm. The circadian clock is most sensitive to the blue portion of the visible spectrum, so our aim was to determine if blocking short wavelengths of light below 540 nm could improve daytime sleep quality and nighttime vigilance of night shiftworkers. Eight permanent night shiftworkers (32-56 yrs of age) of Quebec City's Canada Post distribution center were evaluated during summertime, and twenty others (24-55 yrs of age) during fall and winter. Timing, efficacy, and fragmentation of daytime sleep were analyzed over four weeks by a wrist activity monitor, and subjective vigilance was additionally assessed at the end of the night shift in the fall-winter group. The first two weeks served as baseline and the remaining two as experimental weeks when workers had to wear blue-blockers glasses, either just before leaving the workplace at the end of their shift (summer group) or 2 h before the end of the night shift (fall-winter group). They all had to wear the glasses when outside during the day until 16:00 h. When wearing the glasses, workers slept, on average +/-SD, 32+/-29 and 34+/-60 more min/day, increased their sleep efficacy by 1.95+/-2.17% and 4.56+/-6.1%, and lowered their sleep fragmentation by 1.74+/-1.36% and 4.22+/-9.16% in the summer and fall-winter group, respectively. Subjective vigilance also generally improved on Fridays in the fall-winter group. Blue-blockers seem to improve daytime sleep of permanent night-shift workers.

Sigurdardottir, L. G., Valdimarsdottir, U. A., Fall, K., Rider, J. R., Lockley, S. W., Schernhammer, E., et al. (2012). Circadian disruption, sleep loss, and prostate cancer risk: a systematic review of epidemiologic studies. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev, 21(7), 1002–1011.
Abstract: Disruption of the circadian system has been hypothesized to increase cancer risk, either because of direct disruption of the molecular machinery generating circadian rhythms or because of disruption of parameters controlled by the clock such as melatonin levels or sleep duration. This hypothesis has been studied in hormone-dependent cancers among women, but data are sparse about potential effects of circadian disruption on the risk of prostate cancer. This review systematically examines available data evaluating the effects of light at night, sleep patterns, and night shift work on prostate cancer risk.

Stevens, R. G. (2009). Light-at-night, circadian disruption and breast cancer: assessment of existing evidence. Int J Epidemiol, 38(4), 963–970.
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Breast cancer incidence is increasing globally for largely unknown reasons. The possibility that a portion of the breast cancer burden might be explained by the introduction and increasing use of electricity to light the night was suggested >20 years ago. METHODS: The theory is based on nocturnal light-induced disruption of circadian rhythms, notably reduction of melatonin synthesis. It has formed the basis for a series of predictions including that non-day shift work would increase risk, blind women would be at lower risk, long sleep duration would lower risk and community nighttime light level would co-distribute with breast cancer incidence on the population level. RESULTS: Accumulation of epidemiological evidence has accelerated in recent years, reflected in an International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classification of shift work as a probable human carcinogen (2A). There is also a strong rodent model in support of the light-at-night (LAN) idea. CONCLUSION: If a consensus eventually emerges that LAN does increase risk, then the mechanisms for the effect are important to elucidate for intervention and mitigation. The basic understanding of phototransduction for the circadian system, and of the molecular genetics of circadian rhythm generation are both advancing rapidly, and will provide for the development of lighting technologies at home and at work that minimize circadian disruption, while maintaining visual efficiency and aesthetics. In the interim, there are strategies now available to reduce the potential for circadian disruption, which include extending the daily dark period, appreciate nocturnal awakening in the dark, using dim red light for nighttime necessities, and unless recommended by a physician, not taking melatonin tablets.
