Call Of Duty Unveils Completely Overhauled Anti-Cheat System
Featured Image Credit: Activision
There is it ladies and gentlemen, friends and enemies, early birds and night owls - Call of Duty's new anti-cheat system. The FPS franchise has been struggling with the number of cheaters that have been appearing in its game, especially in the case of Call of Duty: Warzone. It's gotten so bad that it's led fans to quit the game entirely, but hopefully, this new development will fix many of the complaints players have. Hopefully, new anti-cheat Ricochet is what we've been waiting for.
The Call of Duty team have now revealed Ricochet to try and combat the huge number of cheaters Warzone and mainline CoD games have experienced. The developers put out a dedicated blog post on the anti-cheat which gives us a lot of answers on the questions that players may have.
Here are some of our favourite Warzone wins and fails...
First of all, Ricochet is described as: "a multi-faceted approach to combat cheating, featuring new server-side tools which monitor analytics to identify cheating, enhanced investigation processes to stamp out cheaters, updates to strengthen account security, and more. Ricochet Anti-Cheat's backend anti-cheat security features will launch alongside Call of Duty: Vanguard, and later this year with the Pacific update coming to Call of Duty: Warzone."
This is RICOCHET Anti-Cheat - a new anti-cheat system arriving on Day 1 of #Warzone's Pacific Update later this year.
Stay tuned for more updates from #TeamRICOCHET in the following weeks. Learn more about our full anti-cheat plan: https://t.co/FvKpaS46DW pic.twitter.com/BHErfDSZ29
- Call of Duty (@CallofDuty) October 13, 2021
Anti-cheats are a little more complicated than, well let's just flick this switch and yay, no more cheaters. It'll take a lot of work to maintain the system so people aren't getting around it. Additionally, there may be complaints about how the anti-cheat affects your system - Valorant's brutal anti-cheat system was especially criticised upon release for how it affected PC performance outside of just the game.
If you want to know more about Ricochet and what you can expect from the system, you can read all about it on the Call of Duty blog.

Renault is only interested in supplying other Formula One teams with its power unit for 2021 and beyond if they will serve as a "partner" of the French manufacturer, not just a customer.
Team principal Cyril Abiteboul made the remarks just days after it was announced that Renault's F1 team will be rebranded Alpine next year.
READ: Will Sergio Perez Join Red Bull Or Haas In 2021?
"It has to be more of a partner team than a customer team. A customer brings you nothing.
"A partner maybe can bring you some value, the value being in particular that it can help you in reaching a sporting objective or business objective," he added.
Continuing, Abiteboul said, "We know that the [financial] transaction is regulated anyway, so it's mainly from a sporting and technical perspective that we would look at the opportunity."
Asked whether or not he could see them supplying power units to Red Bull Racing once again, Abiteboul expressed his doubts that there would be scope for such partnership with the team in the near future.
"We have a long-term commitment in the sport and now that we secured the future we can think what we want to do from a customer or partnership perspective.
"If there is a strong partnership opportunity we will do it. I have doubt that it could be with Red Bull," he concluded.

Beijing slams US for hailing Taiwan authority China firmly opposes that the United States sent congratulations to the Taiwan authority after the announcement of the election results by Taiwan electoral institution, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan Saturday. Kong made the remarks in response to a question that the US White House spokesman expressed congratulations to the Taiwan authority after the electoral institution of Taiwan announced the election results Friday. Kong said China firmly opposes the wrong deeds by the US, which has violated the three China-US joint communiques and interfered in China's internal affairs. He said there is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is part of China. The US government had time and again committed itself to adhering to the "one-China" policy, abiding by the threeChina-US joint communiques and opposing any words or activities ofthe Taiwan authority to change the status quo of Taiwan or to movetoward "Taiwan independence", Kong said. The US government should honor its words, he said. "We congratulate Mr. Chen on his victory," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Friday in a statement after Taiwan's Central Election Commission certified the results of the disputed vote. Lien Chan, Chen's challenger, demanded a recount after Chen won by a margin of less than 0.2 percent, alleging the vote was marred by irregularities. Chen supporters had suggested that Washington's failure thus far to congratulate him had boosted the opposition's claims that the vote was questionable. Beijing voices concern over unrest in Taiwan The mainland side will not look on indifferently if the current situation in Taiwan worsens and spirals out of control, a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said Friday. The strong-worded statement came as thousands of angry Taiwanese protesters besieged the headquarters of the election commission of Taiwan and scuffled with police repeatedly on Friday afternoon. Some protesters stormed into the headquarters to prevent the election commission from posting a notice on a bulletin board at the headquarters declaring the winner of the disputed March 20 election in the Taiwan region. Chen Shui-bian reportedly won only 29,000 more votes than the opposition coalition, while rejected votes reached 330,000 in total. Opposition leaders have said the election is unfair due to voting irregularities and the circumstances surrounding a shooting incident on March 19, in which Chen and his running mate were wounded. They also demanded a recount of the vote and that election results be nullified. The commission managed to post the notice at 7:40 pm on Friday with the help of police. "Taiwan compatriots are as close to us as flesh and blood," said the unnamed spokesman. "We will not sit back and look on unconcerned should the post-election situation in Taiwan get out of control, leading to social turmoil, endangering the lives and property of Taiwan compatriots and affecting stability across the Taiwan Straits." "We have noticed that the electoral institution of the Taiwan region has announced the (March 20) election results in disregard of strong opposition from one competing side," the spokesman said. He went on to add that the Office has taken note that the coalition opponents do not recognize the legitimacy of the current results, and that Beijing would be closely following developments in the matter.. The Kuomintang (KMT) Party, the main opposition side in the election, is reportedly scheduled to hold a large rally in protest in Taipei on Saturday. Taiwan media reports said that KMT Party Leader Lien Chan can still challenge the election although the results have become official. Under the law, Lien must file his petition to render the polling invalid within 30 days of the certification of the election results. Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV said that lawmakers from the ruling and opposition parties Friday failed to reach an agreement on legislation to revise the election law to allow for a recount that could end the election controversy. Chen had proposed breaking the stalemate by amending the election law retroactively to make a recount automatic whenever a candidate wins by less than 1 per cent of the votes, as Chen did last Saturday. In a related development, Taiwan police have for the first time released a picture of a possible shooting suspect Friday, according to media sources in Taiwan. The agency said the grainy security camera image showed a balding man in a yellow jacket hurrying away from the shooting in the southern city of Tainan. |

Despite the fact that May 5 is not actually Mexican Independence Day, the holiday is a hallowed tradition in Texas. Generally celebrated with plenty of tequila and tacos, Cinco de Mayo blessedly falls on a Friday this year, which means that drunken revelers will have the full weekend to recover.
Plenty of Houstonians have their favorite spots for Cinco de Mayo. But for those who are still searching for a patio to drink margaritas on, these five last-minute options could be the beginning of a beautiful new tradition.
Take in a tequila tasting at Armando Richards' Picos
Instead of paying too much for watered-down margaritas this weekend, head to Picos for a straight-up infusion of agave. Starting at 12 p.m. on Friday, the restaurant will host a parking lot party with tasting stations for 13 different tequilas (including the good stuff) and grub from an on-site taco truck. Chill on the patio, and stop at one of the frozen margarita machines if you need a break from all that straight liquor.
Check out Fusion Taco in the Heights
If you haven't yet made it to the newest outpost of this Houston favorite, grab your pooch and head to the Heights for all day happy hour on the restaurant's dog-friendly patio. Tacos and pints of Corona or Modelo are just $3, and the $5 Dulce Vida margaritas will be flowing all night long.
Park on the patio at Eight Row Flint
This Heights favorite is already a solid bet for Friday night, but the addition of cheap tacos and cocktails makes it an even better choice. Margaritas and palomas are $5 all day, as are $3 Modelo Especial and Tecate. If you make it before 6 p.m., switch to whiskey for a bit while the Old Fashioneds are $5. Of course, you'll need a taco or ten to soak up all that booze.
Gorge yourself on free queso at Molina's
Houston's oldest Tex-Mex establishment, Molina's is celebrating Cinco de Mayo all day long. Its frozen margaritas are just $5, and if you sit at the bar, an endless supply of chips & queso awaits.
Drink "the coldest margarita on the planet" at El Big Bad
The margarita is already a beautiful thing, but the Cinco de Mayo party at this Downtown watering hole claims to offer the "coldest margarita on the planet," thanks to an infusion of liquid nitrogen. Spirit tastings, food specials, and (of course) El Big Bad's killer selection of infused tequila will be on offer. Admission to the festivities is $10.

Several spiritual wildernesses ago, I found myself a new scripture hero. Caleb, from the Old Testament, was one amazing, tough dude: faithful, honest, courageous and determined. In the second year after escaping Egypt, Caleb and Joshua – at the direction of Moses – go exploring into the Promised Land¹. Ten others went with them, all twelve being a representative of each of the tribes of Israel. When they all returned and told of what they'd seen, only Caleb and Joshua reported positively on the land they had explored.
Joshua and Caleb said "The land is flowing with milk and honey! Huge grapes! Pomegranates! Figs! It's amazing, let's go right now" but the remaining ten started freaking out, saying "Nope, no way, the dudes who live there are HUGE and they'll squash us like bugs!"

§ 46. Mr. S. O. Daviesasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will take steps to increase the pay and allowances of serving ranks of all His Majesty's Forces in order to obviate any of their dependants being compelled to have recourse to public assistance?
§ The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir John Simon)The conditions of service of men in His Majesty's Forces have been considerably improved in recent times, and I cannot accept the implication in the question that they are inadequate. If the hon. Member is referring to the men who marry before they are entitled under the regulations to marriage or family allowance, I am not in a position to add to the replies to previous questions on this subject.
§ Mr. DaviesWill the right hon. Gentleman cause an inquiry to be made so that he can be satisfied that this inflicts very considerable expense upon the local authorities of the country, and an exceptionally heavy burden on the depressed areas?
§ Sir J. SimonThat question, I think, is always under consideration.
§ Mr. G. GriffithsShall we have a statement from the Secretary of State for War to-morrow that the age will be lowered?

Evolution Schmevolution
Matt Yglesias should stick to politics and philosophy and avoid issues of biology. In a blog post over at Tapped Yglesias writes (in part):
Last but not least, nothing whatsoever of practical importance hinges on whether or not life on earth originated as a result of intelligent design. The theory is exceedingly silly pseudo-science, but it doesn't actually threaten anything. There is, moreoever, no reason to think it's especially crucial for the average citizen to have an accurate grasp of state-of-the-art biological theory. Most people don't understand quantum mechanics, general relativity, or any number of other scientific and technical topics and life goes on just fine.
I find it astounding, but not all that troubling, that Yglesias would advocate for scientific ignorance. But far more disconcerting is the claim that ID does not pose some concerns when it comes to biological research. Case in point, this post by Tara Smith. Since people don't always click the link, let me summarize Tara's post (with the caveat that I am not a epidemiologist who studies infectious disease–or more simply click the damn link).
- In 1945 scientists suggested that bacteria might develop resistance to anti-microbials due to evolutionary processes.
- Currently we know that the concern expressed in 1945 is now a reality.
- But, science doesn't sit still so researchers looked for alternatives to the now less efficacious anti-microbials.
- Scientists looked at our own innate immune system and this sparked interest in peptides that could kill the bacteria (phage therapy).
- It was thought at the time that evolutionary processes would be unlikely to come up with resistance to this kind of treatment.
- However, scientists being curious people decided to do what Intelligent Design theorists don't, they tested the idea.
- Low and behold, the strains of strains of E. coli and Pseudomonas fluorescens that the scientist used in their experiments developed resistance to this type of treatment.
So what does all that mean? Well, if scientists didn't think to actually test the possibility of bacteria evolving defenses against this type of phage therapy, research might have plunged on ahead and such a therapy might have been deployed on a wide spread scale. The bacteria would evolve, and thus our own innate immune system would be compromised. In short, by basing an experiment based on evolutionary theory, a suprising and highly useful result was found. So, is ID harmless? Well ID suggests that some changes are simply not possible via evolutionary processes. Scientists thought that the evolution of resistance to phage therapy wasn't likely, turns out they were wrong. Could ID have lead researchers to a different and potentially very dangerous result? I hope that question gives some people (like Matt Yglesias) reason to re-think their position.

What trucking companies pay while you train?
Paid CDL training is always an option if the high cost of tuition for a private CDL school is too expensive. Most large trucking carriers offer CDL training jobs that teach new employees how to drive a truck, receive their CDL and then a job within the company. The training period for a CDL training job is typically shorter than private training schools and meant to get the employee out and driving as soon as possible. These CDL training jobs can be a great option for someone looking to get into trucking with a guaranteed job.

Also serving the communities of De Luz, Rainbow, Camp Pendleton, Pala and Pauma
If there aren't enough resale homes on the market then the next logical discussion is, what about buying raw land and building a new custom home which meets all your wants and needs?
I represented a great local builder for over 12 years who taught me so much about the concerns of new construction, and I'll pass along some of the bullet points associated with building new construction in this article.
I will identify wavetop issues and if it whets an appetite within you to consider building new construction then my strongest recommendation is to contact our local trusted general contractors and engage in detailed discussions about building your dream home.
Financing for new construction is different from residential resale purchases and few lenders have those kinds of programs. Different lenders have different down payment requirements, different draw schedules and different lengths of time to refinance out of the construction loan into the take-out loan (permanent financing). The best advice is to deep dive into the internet because loan programs are different between lenders so research the best program that meets your building needs.
Electrical power is always a prime concern when building. If the project will be within 300' of a transformer then it is mostly just a connection fee, but if there is a requirement to install additional power poles or there's a requirement that the utilities must be underground, then standby for some eye-watering expenses. And no, generators cannot be the primary source of power. Power must be provided by SDG&E or solar. Generators can only be back-up power sources.
Water: It costs approximately $16,000-26,000 to install a water meter with the proviso that there is a water main nearby. If not, then digging a well may be the solution. A new well will cost about $40,000 to drill, case, install the pump and storage tank plus there will need to be electrical power to the pump.
Sewer/septic: If the property is in a sewer district, does the parcel have a sewer reservation to join the district? If not, there must be approval to join. Hooking up to sewer isn't cheap as the road must be closed for up to two days with accompanying traffic control and subsequent road repair. A sewer lateral from the parcel is required to join the sewer line.
If a septic system is going to handle the sewage requirements, the land must first pass a percolation test (separate expense of approximately $3,200), then the cost to install a traditional septic system is approximately $16,000-18,000. A septic system needs to have enough land for 100% of the leach lines plus there needs to be room for a 100% reserve leach field. There are required setbacks for leach fields from property lines and riparian waterways.
Legal access: Just because the parcel abuts a road doesn't mean it has legal access from the road to the parcel; check with a title officer. California law allows for the sale of landlocked parcels which means the owner might have to buy easements over adjacent parcels to get to their own property.
Permits and fees, which can be a crazy amount of money, include traffic impact fees, schools impact fees, environmental impact studies plus other fees. My builder once told me they pay up to $80,000 before a shovel of dirt is turned. Design review is part of permits and fees. If using a previously approved structure design that will fit the lot, some fees are mitigated, if not then factor in architect fees.
Grading and watershed, not all lots can be graded to conform with environmental and fire department requirements (20% gradient is the maximum driveway slope due to county rugged terrain fire engine limitations).
Expense to build new construction is approximately 15-25% more than residential resale because the project is starting from unimproved raw dirt.
All dirt is not of equal value. If the parcel price is inexpensive there is a reason. Always consult with a local general contractor before finalizing a land lot purchase to ensure the intended utilizations can be accomplished.

NIGLOK, Aug 27: The first raising day of the sainik school here in East Siang district was celebrated in a befitting manner by the student cadets, faculty members and staffers of the school on Tuesday.
Congratulating the cadets and members of the school community on the milestone reached by the lone sainik school of the state, Lok Sabha MP Tapir Gao expressed happiness that "the cadets are being nurtured to develop all-round personality along with academic activities."
Gao lauded the dedication of the teachers, and urged them to "guide the young cadets to prepare them as disciplined and successful citizens who would contribute to nation-building."
The MP said the state government has sanctioned Rs 20 crore for developing the school's infrastructure at its permanent site. He also assured to provide fund for construction of the school's auditorium in its current temporary location.
Earlier, Gao and Brigadier Saumya Banerjee of the 103 Infantry Brigade felicitated cadets during the investiture ceremony for their outstanding performances and for bagging awards in various categories during the recent east zone sainik schools sports and cultural championship held in Imphal, Manipur.
Local MLA Ninong Ering in a message to the school authority extended good wishes, and assured it of all possible help for the development of the school.
A 'heritage walk', along with cultural and skit presentations and mime performances were the highlights of the programme.
Cadet Tanyang Taku (Class 6) made a PowerPoint presentation on the journey of the school, which was raised as the 28th sainik school on 27 August, 2018, and was inaugurated by Chief Minister Pema Khandu on 11 September, 2018, at its temporary location here.
Besides the parents of the cadets, former MLA Tatung Jamoh, East Siang DC Kinny Singh, SP Rajiv Ranjan Singh, DDSE J Yirang, Sainik School Principal Lt Cdr Amit Kumar Dutt, and other Army officers were among those who witnessed the celebration. (DIPRO)

Title loans in Knoxville provide a way that is convenient clients to obtain a fast infusion of money to cover unforeseen activities or month-to-month costs. You may want to consider applying for a short-term title loan if you are experiencing a shortfall with your cash.
May very well not be aware of the real method by which name loans work. Listed here is some given information that may help you comprehend name loans.
Every automobile features a name. Vehicles which are not utilized as security for a financial loan have actually free and clear games. Which means that you have the motor vehicle, and there are not any lien holders noted on the name.
Once you make an application for a title loan, a loan provider estimates the worth of one's automobile. Making use of your vehicle as protection for the loan, it is possible to borrow as much as the quantity of the worthiness of the car with respect to the statutory laws and regulations in a state of residence.

WASHINGTON – Four Montgomery County 13-year-olds have been charged with juvenile offenses for making threats of mass violence against students at several county middle schools – the latest in a series of threats against area schools this week.
The boys' arrests come just days after two Prince George's County students were arrested on similar charges for making threats against schools in the neighboring county. A D.C. girl was also arrested this week for calling in a bomb threat against a charter school in Northeast D.C.
Montgomery County police said that the boys made the threats to multiple students who attend Rosa Parks Middle School in a series of posts on social media. The account name included the word "clown" and the posts included photos of clowns, similar to clown-themed threats made in Prince George's County. The posts also included pictures of axes and shovels.
A post on Instagram warned the school to "be ready" and said the attacker would come to the school on Wednesday. The posts also mentioned Argyle and Farquhar middle schools, however no specific students were named from those schools.
One of the Rosa Parks students who received a threat asked what the poster planned for the school. The response: "Kill them," police said.
The threatened students, their parents, plus school administrators helped police investigate the threats, which led to the four boys.
The boys were arrested on Wednesday and returned to their parents' custody. Their cases will be handled by the Department of Juvenile Services.
Police learned of the posts on Monday, the same day the first Prince George's County student was arrested. Police in that county sent extra officers to several schools on Monday because of the threats that cropped up last weekend.
The post 4 boys charged with making online threats against Montgomery Co. schools appeared first on WTOP.

Why Would a General Defend the Study of Critical Race Theory in the Military?
From Draft NOtices, July-September 2021
Why Would a General Defend the Study of Critical Race Theory in the Military?
— Isidro Ortiz, PhD
"America's Top General Defends Study of Critical Race Theory."
This was the title of one in a series of articles on the congressional testimony of U.S. Chief of Staff General Mark Milley that appeared in media venues during the week of June 21. The testimony took many by surprise for it had been expected that the General would offer testimony congruent with the ongoing conservative denunciation of critical race theory (CRT), which has been discussed by journalists such as Marisa Lati and others. But the general, to the chagrin of Republican Congressmen, defended the study of the theory in the military.
The general's testimony did not clarify what critical race theory is. Indeed, it may have added to the confusion for the general claimed that he wanted to understand "white rage," suggesting that the theory was developed for such a purpose. White rage has existed, as Carol Anderson has documented in White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide. But CRT was not developed for understanding a white backlash to social, economic and political advances by Blacks and other historically oppressed communities. A brief review of its origins and tenets may serve to bring much needed insight to this debate and enable understanding of the general's stance. It is possible to construct more than one history of the CRT and to identify various definitions of the concept. Nevertheless, there is common agreement that it emerged in the 1970s as a theoretical approach within the field of critical legal studies. Originated by mostly African American scholars, CRT practitioners sought to develop a jurisprudence that accounts for the persistence of racism in American law. By focusing on racism, the scholars challenged the "end of racism thesis," the notion that racism had ended and that race no longer mattered in American society. This thesis had gained traction in legal and educational circles in the 1970s and '80s.

Spiegelau, Dogfish Head and Sierra Nevada joined forces to develop the inaugural glass tailored for American-style IPA beer. Through multiple design and sensory workshops evaluating hundreds of iterations, the brewers elected, anonymously, one glass-- number 6-- from the ultimate 8 prototypes. These glasses maximize the aroma of hop-forward IPAs, while preserving a head and optimizing flavor and mouthfeel. A broad opening allows for savoring each sip, while the glass is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. Beer often performs best in dedicated glassware, just like wine.

If you use opioids, coke, meth, or other illegal drugs, you might want to be extra-cautious that you're taking what you think you are right now. Luckily, there's a common, easy, and cheap way to do that—we'll get into drug testing strips in a second, but in terms of why you'd bother with them to begin with, let's talk about fentanyl. Though the synthetic opioid fentanyl is far and away most commonly found as an adulterant in heroin, growing evidence suggests that other drugs—including counterfeit pharmaceutical pills, cocaine, benzodiazepine, and methamphetamine—are increasingly contaminated with it. (It's not always clear at which stage in the drug supply chain that fentanyl comes in contact with a given substance.) In April 2021, eight percent of cocaine tested by the police in New York City was adulterated with fentanyl—up from two percent in 2017—which is the equivalent of nearly one in every 10 bags of coke.Even if a drug doesn't contain a lot of fentanyl, it's still dangerous. Fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, and two milligrams is considered a lethal dose (and even more so if a person isn't accustomed to using opioids). Provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control reflect over 81,000 overdose deaths between June 2019 and May 2020, the highest number ever recorded in a single year. According to the CDC, "Synthetic opioids (primarily illicitly manufactured fentanyl) appear to be the primary driver of the increases in overdose deaths, increasing 38.4 percent." The agency also noted that cocaine-related overdoses have increased, which is likely related to coingestion with opioids, either through contamination or co-use.Even if you know your dealer or otherwise feel confident about what you're buying, you can't eyeball or taste your drugs to tell whether they're solely what they're supposed to be: Fentanyl can take many forms, including a white powder, so it's not always detectable by sight or taste. Instead, people are testing their drugs at home with fentanyl test strips to see if they've come in contact with or are cut with synthetic opioids."Given the current state of the drug market, we recommend that folks test all drugs with fentanyl test strips," said Kristin Karas, chief operating officer at the harm-reduction organization DanceSafe. To keep yourself a little safer as you use, here's how to add a small step into your drug use that might make an enormous difference for your well-being.A fentanyl test strip is a little strip of paper that changes color based on whether it's placed in liquid containing fentanyl. Fentanyl test strips can be bought individually or in testing kits containing test tubes for mixing, a buffer solution to dissolve the drugs, and some Q-tips for stirring. (If you don't have a kit, you can use water instead of a buffer solution and a small glass.)There are multiple kinds of fentanyl analogs, the most common being carfentanil, along with 25 or so less common kinds, including methylfentanyl, furanylfentanyl, and acrylfentanyl, according to James Giordano, professor of neurology and biochemistry at Georgetown University Medical Center. Fentanyl test strips pick up on the most common kinds of fentanyl about 97 percent of the time, so the user can avoid taking the substance, or, if they're still intent on taking it, reduce the amount they take."When people know there's fentanyl in the substance they plan on using, they can adjust the way they use in a way that makes them less likely to overdose," said Ricky Bluthenthal, professor of preventive medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. "They can use slower, they can start with a smaller dose than they might ordinarily use, or they can decide not to use it." (Although it's best not to use drugs that test positive for fentanyl at all, if you choose to go ahead with it, make sure you've got overdose-reversing naloxone nasal spray on hand, as well as someone capable of administering it.)A test strip shouldn't be considered a potential "all clear" that drugs don't have fentanyl in them, but an extra precaution. It's entirely possible for a test to come back negative when a drug has a less apparent kind of fentanyl in it: Depending on the quality of the test strips you're using, they might only test for the most common variations, said Jonathan Caulkins, professor of operations research and public policy at the Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. "There are different kinds of fentanyl, and there are even other novel synthetic opioids that are not. strictly speaking, a fentanyl at all, but they are sort of similar chemically, and very similar practically," he said. Even though many tests are sensitive, if you test just a portion of the drugs, the fentanyl may be hiding elsewhere. "The fentanyl may not be evenly distributed in the sample, so you could test it and it could be negative, but there could be fentanyl in other parts of the substance," said Bluthenthal.More advanced fentanyl detection may be available via drug-checking services such as Energy Control and Drugs Data, each of which send your substance off to a lab to be tested for contaminants if you mail them in. "Some of these types of organizations use more in-depth, scientific tests like mass spectrometry, and these types of tests can be more valid and reliable than quick-screening tests like fentanyl test strips," said Brian Wind, clinical psychologist and chief clinical officer for the addiction center JourneyPure, though these tests are still not guaranteed to detect every kind of fentanyl analog. Some community programs also offer drug-checking services, which you can find by Googling "community drug evaluation services and resources" and the name of your city, said Giordano. You can get fentanyl test strips through syringe service programs and other community harm reduction programs listed on local health department websites, according to Wind. It's also possible to order fentanyl test strips online through DanceSafe. These tests, made by the brand BTNX, have been verified to test 13 kinds of fentanyl (which is still by no means all kinds, but is better than nothing). Buying testing strips from unverified sources online, like Amazon, may result in lower-quality or unreliable tests.Once you have a kit, or strips and your own supplies, you mix either all or a portion of the drug you're using (more on that below) with water or buffer solution and dip in the strip for 15 seconds, then check if there are two red lines (indicating the drugs have tested negative for the kinds of fentanyl it can detect) or one red line (meaning there is fentanyl in the drug). "If no red lines appear, it means the test is invalid and you should redo it," said Jaydeep Tripathy, a primary care doctor at Doctor Spring.DanceSafe recommends that, if possible, you test the entire sample. This involves dissolving all of your drugs in water—if you do that, you'll need to drink your dose, so you'll want to get the ratio of drugs to liquid right. With MDMA or methamphetamine, for instance, you'd use about a teaspoon of water for every 10mg you test. With cocaine or other powder drugs, you'd use two teaspoons of water for every 100mg of powder. To test a pressed pill, you'd add just enough water to dissolve a crushed tablet. (Many kits include instructions, by the way, so don't feel like you need to memorize this info now.)To some people, the idea of taking all their drugs in liquid form might sound unrealistic or inconvenient. If you don't want to test the entirety of your drugs, you could try a compromise: Because reliable test strips, like the BTNX ones, are sensitive enough to pick up nanograms of fentanyl, dumping out powder drugs from their baggies and using the traces left inside to make a solution is another (although less effective) method for testing the drugs. Leland Radovanovic, a 30-year-old communications professional living in Massachusetts, got fentanyl test strips from a harm reduction organization called the Washington Heights CORNER Project while living in New York and used them to test MDMA and cocaine; his results were negative. "What I normally do is empty the bag, then put a little water in the bag to make a solution and then test the solution," he said. "That way, I don't have to waste a bunch." This approach, though less surefire, still makes sense, said Giordano, because "you break the volume down into solution and aerate it in the baggie, which makes it viable for detection." Even though Radovanovic's tests were negative, he's still happy he made the choice to test. "This seemed like a smart thing to do, and I'm super glad I did," he added. "Unfortunately, unregulated drugs are a mystery, even when you get [them] from a reputable dealer." Indeed, even if a dealer is someone you know, they themselves can't be sure if they're getting a contaminated batch. As one 43-year-old business owner in Los Angeles who tests his drugs and asked VICE not to disclose his name for legal reasons said, "It was pretty easy… the whole process took maybe five minutes." There's truly no downside to testing—and you're always better off safe than sorry. Whichever method you use, you're still more likely to find out whether synthetic opioids are in your drugs than if you hadn't tested—just before you use your drugs, instead of after.Follow Suzannah Weiss on Twitter.

You should eye contact is key and laugh, and you should know where to meet up with a woman. Once you have established relationship with a female, you can start to build a positive romance with her. Here are some tips pertaining to meeting women. Follow these tips to attract a woman to you.
o Seek out common hobbies between girls. If you know a woman who also likes a specific activity, you will find other sole women who show that curiosity. You can also sign up for events arranged by the one women and find out if they'd choose to meet the one who shares the same interests. If you want to make a successful connection with a woman, look closely at her appearance and her hobbies and interests. Once you know her interests and if she's attractive, you can strategy her.
um Take a category with her. The female citizenry is a varied one, and taking a class with her will let you connect with them. If you like moving, take a flow or art class with each other, or enhanc.

XSS Through File Upload
Hi Folks!
This is my 33rd blog on web application security penetration testing. In this blog I will explain about XSS Through File Upload.
In my last blog, I have explained about XXE Attack. Hope everyone liked it. If you haven't read it yet please follow along.
In my previous blogs I have already explained all the types of XSS and the ways to exploit it. This time we will see new technique to exploit XSS Vulnerability Via File Upload Functionality using Name of the file as a Injection Vector.
As we know many web application allows end users or their application users to upload files for many different purposes and this is only the opportunity to find loopholes on them. so let's see how to attack these entry points which allows files to upload there, for the purpose of finding XSS.
XSS Through Filename:
Many web applications allows application user to Upload files on the server and displayed the name of the uploaded file back to the webpage which allows an attacker to upload malicious files with XSS payloads to be uploaded if proper input validation for file name is not in the place.
Below is the step-by-step POC which shows how XSS through File Upload works:
- I have below File Upload functionality in the web page which allows users to upload photos.
2. I have tested that application can accept different different malicious characters into file name upon uploading it.
3. In next step, I have created filename as a malicious XSS payload using kali linux because windows system doesn't allow us to save malicious characters in the file name.
Payload Used: "><img src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)>.jpg (as a Filename).
4. In my kali linux, I have ran the web application and upload the malicious file as a photo. Once click on Upload button, Below prompt getting displayed which proves application is vulnerable to XSS through File Upload.
Cross Site Scripting Impact:
Cookie Theft
URL Redirection
Phishing Attack
Downloading Malwares on victim's computer, etc.
Cross Site Scripting Prevention:
Preventing cross-site scripting is trivial in some cases but can be much harder depending on the complexity of the application and the ways it handles user-controllable data.
In general, effectively preventing XSS vulnerabilities is likely to involve a combination of the following measures:
Filter input on arrival. At the point where user input is received, filter as strictly as possible based on what is expected or valid input.
Content Security Policy. As a last line of defense, you can use Content Security Policy (CSP) to reduce the severity of any XSS vulnerabilities that still occur.
Labs to Practice XSS:
I hope everyone will like the constant reading from my blogs. Please do comment and follow for more reads!

From floaty floral skirts to sheer revealing dresses, maxi-length has been making a return for the past few seasons and again showed up on the Spring/Summer 2011 catwalks reassuring us that it's a trend we can continue to wear long in to summer. As per usual each designer had their own take on the trend, from Givenchy's gothic inspired sheer dresses that conjured up a ghoulish idea of glamour, to Alexander Wang's all-white minimal approach which kept things remarkably simple.
Erdem used lace to construct his revealing floor-sweeping gown, while D&G showed off a wholly feminine dress covered in a subtle floral print. Marc Jacobs gave the trend his usual retro spin by pairing a pale pink skirt with a bellowing 70's style shirt in a light tangerine shade. Raf Simons, head designer at Jil Sander, managed to create some of the most unique silhouettes of the season with his floaty over-sized dresses, and he also included several acid-bright maxi-skirts in the statement collection, many paired with a simple white t-shirt. The maxi-length is continuing to be one of the main trends this season - check out how the designers presented it below.
