AT&T — which owns DirecTV, DirecTV Now and U-verse — released a statement saying it "offered to pay CBS an unprecedented rate increase and the highest fee we currently pay to any major broadcast network group.

Reports: Nexstar says no to WPIX-NY, WSFL-Miami
If you want to do something well, watch someone else do it. That's the way to improve in most skills in life. That's one reason I read Scott Jones' blog, FTVLive.com. Say what you want about him or his spelling, but he's usually right on the money when it comes to facts, and won't make … Continue reading Reports: Nexstar says no to WPIX-NY, WSFL-Miami
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Sometimes I see or hear something so stupid, I lose control and have to call it out right away. That's especially true when it comes from somebody who makes herself seem like some sort of expert on a topic. Unfortunately, this is one of those times. I woke up to a lot of emails, as … Continue reading Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Sanctions against Sinclair? Sounds justified
It's either coincidence, karma or a higher power when things come together in ways previously thought impossible. This weekend, Jewish people around the world read the Torah portion Shofetim (שֹׁפְטִים, or "Judges," comprising Deuteronomy 16:18–21:9). The best-known line in it is the third, "Justice, justice shall you pursue" (צֶ֥דֶק צֶ֖דֶק תִּרְדֹּ֑ף, Deut. 16:20). Shofetim also … Continue reading Sanctions against Sinclair? Sounds justified
Sinclair sinks, Trump's temper, Cox's cash value
There's something to be said for waiting before starting to write. That's not my nature. I want to get things out first. I type very well but nobody can do it as quickly as my brain, so I often dictate into a phone and email myself. Then, I make any corrections and additions, and create … Continue reading Sinclair sinks, Trump's temper, Cox's cash value
Big merger, big problem, big surprise!
This was starting to get a little hard to keep track of, and I wrote most of this last night. Good thing I waited to publish, because I had to really rewrite today! It's looking like the big media merger I've been writing about so frequently may not happen! Even better, it looks like one … Continue reading Big merger, big problem, big surprise!
Where have you gone, Sasha Savitsky?
I don't know why TV stations (and networks) allow mistakes to remain without corrections but it's certainly a disservice to viewers and readers. One could also say Fake News and fraud. Perhaps the Federal Communications Commission needs to get involved to keep them in line. Local stations use the public airwaves, are licensed to serve … Continue reading Where have you gone, Sasha Savitsky?
The lousiness of laziness and liars
I hate lazy people (and stupid ones, but that's a blog for another time). I can understand being sick. Last year, I showed up to work sick for three weeks since I wasn't contagious and learned two lessons. First, I wasn't appreciated and second, going to the doctor instead of assuming the bug would go … Continue reading The lousiness of laziness and liars
Forget Laurel and Yanny. Did Cecily call Adam a moron?
I don't know about you but yesterday, I couldn't stop "hearing" about what the people who listened to a certain audio file heard. Most insisted it was one thing: just not the same thing. That became the Yanny-Laurel debate. What you think you heard became the side you were on. Sometimes listeners even switched teams. … Continue reading Forget Laurel and Yanny. Did Cecily call Adam a moron?
BREAKING NEWS: Fox buying Miami station
The negotiation spat between Fox and Sinclair is apparently over, and Sinclair's proposed $3.9 billion merger with Tribune will have one less hurdle. 21st Century Fox announced it's buying the seven TV stations Tribune owned that had to be spun off to not exceed ownership limits, but had not yet officially found buyers. Friday, from … Continue reading BREAKING NEWS: Fox buying Miami station
Media mega-merger may be moving closer, impacting Miami
I've avoided writing much about Sinclair Broadcast Group trying to buy Tribune Media because I've been busy and I don't want to jinx any possibility the merger will fall through. But there has been some news, and the biggest for a local TV market could be Miami/Fort Lauderdale (of course!). You'll remember, one of the … Continue reading Media mega-merger may be moving closer, impacting Miami
Syria, Gaza and the FCC chair babying broadcasters
Industry leaders have been meeting in Las Vegas for the National Association of Broadcasters Show and Adam Symson, president-CEO of the E.W. Scripps Co., made an interesting comparison between broadcast and digital. "Broadcasting has been traditionally a very protected business — protected by regulation and economically protected because not everybody could have a television station in a … Continue reading Syria, Gaza and the FCC chair babying broadcasters
Tiffany Trump's trouble, what unions could do to Amazon and the media
It's nice when Americans exercise their First Amendment rights (freedom of religion, speech, the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances) with good intentions, and that should be encouraged. Last Saturday, many in the country were shocked after March for Our Lives rallies were … Continue reading Tiffany Trump's trouble, what unions could do to Amazon and the media
The Weather Channel's new owner, a real controversial person
There are two big changes in weather: The snow has stopped and The Weather Channel is being sold. Also, you can say the owner is a real person for two more reasons: The new owner is not a partnership between three corporations, like in the past – and he was one of the stars of the … Continue reading The Weather Channel's new owner, a real controversial person
Call to action: Help stop Sinclair from taking over Tribune
First, I want to go thank and apologize to everyone who read my last post. It was way too long. Yes, it contained what I think was good information on several subjects. It happened to be on a snow day and I had nothing better to do then let out some of what I was … Continue reading Call to action: Help stop Sinclair from taking over Tribune
WSVN without Fox? It's possible if….
Surprisingly, I haven't seen this reported at all by South Florida media. Yes, they're still consumed and reeling from the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine's Day, but this involves THEM, darnit, and they know it. There was nothing in the Miami-Herald, Sun-Sentinel, or New Times about it, nor TV stations WSVN … Continue reading WSVN without Fox? It's possible if….
Sinclair, Tribune TV stations combined: Why it's not a done deal yet
Let's start by updating my latest post on television. Last Thursday, in discussing Fox Sports paying a fortune for Thursday Night Football, I brought up Sinclair Broadcast Group – the largest TV owner in America – trying to buy Tribune Broadcasting, another biggie. Sinclair had given hints on what it would divest in order to get approval from … Continue reading Sinclair, Tribune TV stations combined: Why it's not a done deal yet
Got cable, satellite? You'll foot the bill for Fox's Thursday Night Football
How many of you watched the Super Bowl this year? Of course, in Philadelphia, that's a loaded question with the underdog Eagles in the game and beating the seemingly perennial winners, the New England Patriots. Same thing in New England. Their team was in the Super Bowl and they don't get sick of Tom Brady … Continue reading Got cable, satellite? You'll foot the bill for Fox's Thursday Night Football
Don't post your content on Facebook if you don't want readers getting it for free!
Time for the obvious, yet again. News organizations post their news on Facebook and other social media sites. Those articles, videos, slideshows, etc. also get picked up on search sites like Google, Yahoo and Bing (Microsoft). If they use the correct SEOs (Search Engine Optimization words) and have a little luck (or pay a … Continue reading Don't post your content on Facebook if you don't want readers getting it for free!
The rights of TV station owners vs. the public
By now, I'm sure you realize I'm a fan of the underdog. Fly, Philadelphia Eagles, fly! I also strongly believe in holding people in high positions accountable for their acts, even off the clock. Can't deny that after the recent string of sexual harassment allegations and confessions from some of the smartest and most talented people in … Continue reading The rights of TV station owners vs. the public
The news where I used to work: Unbelievable!
Most of you know I was a web producer for the Fox station in Philadelphia, but fewer of you know I haven't worked there since last August. The reasons are still to be discussed, and probably won't be public. However, I've come across some interesting and incorrect content from that station while working on my … Continue reading The news where I used to work: Unbelievable!
Rules? NFL throws out ratings book for holiday weekend finale
There's always a lot at stake at an NFL football game but this year, the league decided to break its own rules to avoid a ratings disaster for the last game of the season, on New Year's Eve. The National Football League is trying to save face after already having lower ratings than last year, … Continue reading Rules? NFL throws out ratings book for holiday weekend finale

No waiting until Christmas on Monday. Comcast, you obviously consider yourself too powerful. Today, your hard-earned rate hikes take effect.

Hey, you accused! Would Mom say, wait until your father gets home?
Today, it was Matt Lauer. Some of you want the newest, shocking details. The Miami Herald called the accusations against him "crude misconduct." Less known, it was a two-fer. Well-known Minnesota Public Radio host Garrison Keillor won't be showing up for work anymore. Last week, Charlie Rose went down, fired for alleged sexual harassment over … Continue reading Hey, you accused! Would Mom say, wait until your father gets home?
No more newscasts, but what a farewell!
I've mentioned the sad state of the U.S. broadcasting industry these days, with big companies eating up smaller ones like never before. There are too few independently-owned stations left -- run by business people, some better meaning than others -- who actually live in the market they are supposed to serve on the public airwaves. Decisions … Continue reading No more newscasts, but what a farewell!
Dinner in my honor: A favorite memory
The spring of 1997. It was pretty much my first time away from home. Steve and Tom hired me to produce the 11pm news at WFSB-Channel 3 in Connecticut. I got there, but anchor Denise D'Ascenzo was on maternity leave for the first month or two. We'd only met during my interview. (Thanks to Dennis … Continue reading Dinner in my honor: A favorite memory
The media: Certainly imperfect, definitely necessary and trying
This is my first blog in several months, and only my second since arriving back in Philadelphia. The first was shortly after my return, so it has been way too long.

Hey fashs! (my new nick name for fashionistas [wp-svg-icons icon="happy" wrap="i"] [wp-svg-icons icon="cool-2″ wrap="i"].) I hope you like it. How you doing? TGIF!! I cant believe its 31st of JULY already. WOW! am in shock.. Literally. The year is on a very fast pace it scares me. When i was in uni i wished i could sleep and wake up to a new year but now am scared the days/months/year are running to fast to keep up with. A whole lot of things am yet to achieve before the year runs out but at this pace i really hope i do.
The weather in Dubai is not getting any better [wp-svg-icons icon="sun" wrap="i"] [wp-svg-icons icon="sun-3″ wrap="i"]. Just the other day i was thinking about how the world has different time zones because of the earth revolving around its axis. What if as it revolves, the climates changes as well. This year, the middle east experiences spring and autumn, America experiences this burning sun, Nigeria experiences snow, Europe experiences a lot of rain. How cool would that be? Am still praying to God for this miracle to happen. Please feel free to join me if you think it would be supper amazing to experience all the climates of the earth in just one location.

There are some days where we have little or no time to plan our out fit and we just have to go with what we think would look good. This was one of those days for me. I had to think of something at the spot, so i chose this lace skirt, an olive green top paired with my ex favorite leopard skin sandals. The weather is almost 50degrees hot so i had to wear something light. Usually, my "on the go" outfit is a pair of jeans and a small top. You almost never go wrong with that but because of this fire burning weather i prefer to wear skirt these days. Hence my choice for this outfit. In the end, i wasn't feeling the outfit and still not feeling the outfit. This why we should try all our outfits before hand just to have a backup/impromptu plan in your head in case you found in this situation. If at all you are in this situation what would you wear?
What do you think about the blue on this outfit?

In a feel-good romance that will steal your heart, a charming small town brings together two people who could each use a fresh start—and it's all thanks to a little pillowtalk.
Kennedy Walters used to be lucky in love—until tragedy struck. Now she's come to the lakeside town of Lyra Valley to finally put the past behind her. But while Kennedy's staying at a local B&B, she is shocked to find herself undeniably drawn to a sweet-talking hometown heartthrob. Kennedy isn't sure if she's ready to move on—and yet one look in Aaron Sheppard's eyes makes her wish he'd make his move.
Aaron returned to Lyra Valley because he was fed up with the big city and everything he was missing: beautiful, down-to-earth girls like Kennedy. Turns out Aaron has more in common with Kennedy than he realized, and suddenly he wonders if he should give her a little space. But after a power outage strands them together, their innocent flirtation turns to intimate conversation. And over the course of a night that neither will ever forget, Aaron and Kennedy learn just how compatible they could be—if only they'd let themselves fall into each other's arms.
PUBLICATION DATE 4th APRIL 2017
Look for Cassie Mae's charming All About Love novels:
It is so heart breaking when a young person dies. It makes you think of the years that they have been cheated out of but when they leave a loved one behind that person too sometimes forgets how to live and the thought of falling in love again is unthinkable. Kennedy and Jared thought they would be with each other forever but tragically Jared lost his life to cancer. A year after Jared's death Kennedy is fighting with her emotions to let him go. She knows that she must move on but she just feels guilty to live her life without him and the thought of another relationship is simply not on the cards. The first step that she takes is to return Jared's ashes to the town where he grew up but although she goes out each day she can't lay him to rest and returns with the urn in tact to her sister in laws day after day.
Fate has a way of playing with emotions and feelings because something has made Aaron come back to his home town too. He use to be Jared's best mate until 5 minutes of passion with one of Jared's previous girlfriends ended a life time of friendship. Now it is too late to seek his forgiveness. Once Kennedy and Aaron set eyes on each other there is an instant attraction but will Kennedy be able to move forward with her life and can Jared get his head around the fact that he isn't stealing his best friends girl again.
This is a book that plays with your emotions because you can see exactly where Kennedy and Aaron are coming from. I found that I could put myself in their shoes and understand the frustrations they were feeling. Cassie Mae has done a fine job in creating a story around such a taboo subject to a lot of people. The guilt of being alive while as humans we are social beings that need love and nurture. Yes this is quite a heavy topic but Cassie Mae's writing just makes you get at the back of this pair and push for them to learn to live again. To cherish what they had but be able to make new memories not waste the now moments and precious future.
Since publishing her bestselling debut, Reasons I Fell for the Funny Fat Friend, she's signed several Romance titles with Random House Loveswept, and founded CookieLynn Publishing Services. She is represented by Sharon Pelletier at Dystel & Goderich Literary Management.
Along with writing, Cassie likes to binge-watch Once Upon a Time and The Flash. She can quote Harry Potter lines quick as a whip. And she likes kissing her hubby, but only if his facial hair is trimmed. She also likes cheesecake to a very obsessive degree.
You can stalk, talk, or send pictures of Luke Bryan to her on her Facebook page.

Announcer, Railway Controller
Voice Actress
Maria Darling (UK), Melanie Henríquez (Latin America), Barbara Villa (Italy), Johnnie Fiori (U.S., 2010-2016) Julie Wions (U.S., 2019-)
Vee is the main announcer at Chuggington who informs the engines on what to do. Vee has a warm voice and has the important role of keeping Chuggington running on time and on schedule. She has loudspeaker poles placed almost everywhere, and in the depot can be intechanged or moved around on various blue pedestals.
Vee is a motherly, caring figure with a soft spot for the trainees; always ensuring they understand her instructions and always on hand to help. This requires a great deal of patience sometimes; answering Brewster's endless questions and double-checking that Wilson is paying attention. Vee is usually the first to pick up on anything going wrong - or right, for that matter, and always congratulates the trainees on a job well done.
Vee is a self-aware AI, and can be stern at chuggers who misbehave, but always gives them advice and teaching.
- Vee has been seen in almost every episode, up until seasons 4-5 where many of her poles have been decommissioned, where her appearances is much rarer.
- She has countless models of herself around Chuggington, so she can talk to any Chugger at all times.
- When talking, she moves her speakers like they're hands, and also the main body.
- She runs on electricity. When the power is out, her model can't move freely and stands upright.
- A Chugger can talk to Vee at anytime by saying 'Chugger to Vee' near one of her models.
- The model's head resembles a traffic light and her arms resemble megaphones, she has a monitor to locate to the tunnel or seeing a badge.
- It is not known if Vee is actually a human, because she is only shown as countless models but her voice resembles that of a woman in her 30s.
- Vee shares a mother-like bond with the Trainees, particularly Wilson.
- Vee might be a reference to anonymous character V in graphic novel V for Vendetta.
- In Polish, she is called "Wiola". In German, she is called "Fee", which is not only a given name, but also the German word for "fairy".

What Does Dyslexia Look Like in Adults?
Dyslexia isn't just for kids. Learn the signs of this common reading learning disability in adults, and what you can do to pursue a diagnosis later in life.
Dyslexia is the most common learning disability — affecting up to 20 percent of the population — but that doesn't mean it's always properly diagnosed. Many children who struggle through school without a diagnosis grow up to become adults who don't know they have dyslexia — even though the challenges it brings still affect their lives everyday.
Dyslexia can impact your career, your relationships, and your self-esteem, so if you're struggling, it's important that you pursue a diagnosis — and much-needed peace of mind. Check out these common symptoms of dyslexia — broken down between home and the workplace — to determine if your life-long challenges may be the result of a distinct learning disability.
Symptoms at Home
Dyslexia mostly affects reading, spelling, and how we process information — but those difficulties can pop up in unexpected ways. Some possible symptoms of dyslexia in your day-to-day life may include:
- Difficulty recalling past conversations; often accused of "not listening"
- Trouble remembering names
- Mispronouncing words when speaking, or misspelling words when writing, without realizing
- Confusing visually similar words like "can" and "cab"
- Avoiding reading whenever possible, or preferring short articles or essays over long novels
- Struggling to pronounce unknown words when reading out loud
- Reliant on spouse, children, or family members to help with written correspondence
- Getting lost easily, particularly with written directions
- Becoming self-conscious when speaking to a group; using filler words or starting and stopping sentences repeatedly
Symptoms at Work
Often, adults with undiagnosed dyslexia may find that they gravitate toward jobs that require as little reading as possible. Other possible indicators of dyslexia in the workplace can include:
- Resisting reading out loud during meetings
- Avoiding public speaking whenever possible
- Often has to read emails or memos several times before comprehending
- Disliking unfamiliar fonts or handwritten materials
- Randomly placing capital letters in words when writing by hand
- Relying too much on spell-check and other computer-based writing tools
- Becoming bored or distracted easily when reading long documents
- Shying away from planning meetings, events, or other projects that rely on time management
- Disliking administrative work like repetitive forms
- Creating complex coping mechanisms to hide difficulties from coworkers
If you think you have symptoms that align with dyslexia, it's not too late to seek help. Adult assessments are available, and simple accommodations can be put in place to make your challenges at work or at home easier to handle. And remember, dyslexia isn't a moral failing — it's simply a difference in the way your brain works.
"It's important to view a disability as a difference," says Dan Perdue, an adult with dyslexia. "I can write, I can read, [but] I do it differently than most people. My ideas come to me differently, so even if it's a challenge, we can still achieve things in our own way."

Okay…so its day care, but my 2-year-old Max calls it school and he loves it. Today was the first day of the fall semester and in classic Max fashion he walked into the room, looked at all the new kids, said hi to the teachers, and went straight to an activity table where he picked up a car and started telling the kid next to him all about his summer. "Hi, I'm Max. This is a white car, its not a red jeep, I ride in the red jeep, but this is not the red jeep this is a white car…" Any separation anxiety? Nope. I asked for a hug and I got one with a kiss that could easily be read as "Go away Dada…I'm playing with stuff." It is crazy how fast he is growing up, I'll be sure to snuggle my baby Dodge (5-months-old) extra long tonight because tomorrow he might be getting a haircut and have a job.
Slow down boys!

Location: Bayan-Ulgii province.
Adventurous travelers will revel in the magnificent sceneries of this isolated and ethnically diverse part of the country. The stunning landscapes include glacier-wrapped rugged mountains, formidable snow-peaks reflected in crystal lakes and deep lush valleys with pristine rivers.

The Mars Curiosity Rover landing is kind of a big deal. There are going to be seven terrifying minutes as the $2.6 billion vehicle executes its wildly complicated descent to the surface. Can you think of a better reason for a party?
If you're lucky enough to live in New York City, the Mars Rover's landing will be broadcast in Times Square starting at 11:30 PM on Sunday. But if that's a bit far for you, the are plenty of parties to be had, and NASA has been kind enough to plot them all on a map for you.
At a glance, there seems to be something going on in just about every U.S. state, more in Europe, and even something in Iran. You owe it to yourself to at least take a look and see what the nearest one is. You can find a handy alphabetized list of landing parties at Google Maps, or take a look at NASA's list of general Mars-related events plotted out on a map. Let's just hope the landing goes off without a hitch, then we'll really have a reason to party. [NASA via Reddit]

A pot trial was conducted in 2010 and 2011 cropping seasons at the screen house of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike to determine the potency of some plant extracts and pesticides for the control of bacterial leaf blight of cocoyam (Colocasia esculenta L.) Scholt. The materials employed include: lemon grass (Cymbopogon citrates). Black pepper seed (Piper guineense), orange peel (Citrus sinesis), streptomycin sulphate (antibiotic), copper oxychloride (fungicide) and sterile water (control). The experiment was laid in complete randomized design (CRD) and replicated six times. The plant materials used were first made into aqueous extracts using cold water extraction and diluted to 10% concentration. Application on leaves was by use of a hand sprayer for two weekly intervals. Data were collected on disease severity and incidence including growth parameters and on yield of corms. The results obtained showed that all the plant extracts were able to reduce disease and increase yield better than the untreated control.
Keywords: Colocasia esculenta, bacterial leaf blight, plant extracts, Xanthomonas campestris pv. Campestris.

Under fire Merseyrail has made more concessions following a back-lash over its decision to provide a limited service when The Giants (October 4-7) come to Liverpool next month.
The company says missing out stations means trains can run more frequently making the most of the 59-strong fleet in carrying the huge numbers expected.
But this means many passengers won't be able to access a station as close to where they live or work as normal.
Anger from passengers and MPs has already led Merseyrail to revise its plans.
And now Merseyrail has announced two more changes to the original rail service including a decision to keep Bache railway station open over the whole weekend. The station is used by staff, patients and visitors of the Countess of Chester Hospital .
Merseyrail MD Andy Heath said: "The Giants is one of our busiest events and in terms of visitors travelling by Merseyrail it far surpasses most other events within the City of Liverpool. Normally 110,000 passenger journeys are made on Merseyrail per day.
"With the Giants event we have to plan for more than double those numbers of visitors. With a finite number of trains and carriages available it is a major challenge for us and I am pleased that with these two alterations to what was originally proposed I am confident we will do our best to ensure that as many people as possible get to the city to have a great day at the Giants.
"We will have large numbers of staff deployed at key stations to assist with travel to the event. It's never ideal to announce the temporary closure of any station but by doing this on the days of the event we are able to increase the number of carriages on lines of routes throughout the day and therefore carrying larger numbers of passengers."
Passengers remain incensed that Ellesmere Port , a town of 55,715 people, will be effectively cut-off from the rail network on Friday, October 5 and Saturday, 6.
However, Merseyrail has now agreed to lay on a bus service between Ellesmere Port and Hooton, from where train services can be caught to Liverpool.
Furious Ellesmere Port and Neston MP Justin Madders says the town is being treated as 'an afterthought'.
On Sunday October 7, trains will operate on the Ellesmere Port line and services will run to Hunts Cross.
Passengers commuting between Chester and Liverpool on the Friday and Saturday will have to change trains at Hooton. A 20-minute train shuttle service will operate between Chester and Hooton.
But there will be a direct service between Chester and Liverpool on the Sunday.

People can find out more information by visiting Merseyrail.org/giants or picking up a leaflet from staffed stations.

Annual Reports
Glyndŵr University
is the newest university in Wales. They wanted their first annual report to be fresh and dynamic to reflect their approach.I was commissioned to write four articles for the report that had to be engaging and readable for a potential busy audience.I worked through Oakleaf Communications – a PR consultancy specialising in the not-for-profit sector, but liaised directly with the client. The project involved interviewing several heads of faculty, as well as collating relevant background material.Please take a look at the testimonials in Proof of the Pudding.
The Commonwealth Foundation
wanted to break with the traditional annual report format. They wanted something more modern and eye-catching.They were aware that the audience for the report comprises high-level politicians, diplomats, heads of civil society organisations, as well as supporters and members of the public.
The copy needed to be concise and punchy enough to be read in a hurry, but it also had to keep in mind its highly intelligent readers.

It was all exciting at the Kumasi city mall on Sunday as Akesse Brempong and the tribe of Judah hosted over a thousand people, both young and old at the Agape Carnival (Kumasi Edition)
The program commenced at 7:30pm with fans enjoying every bit of it, despite a two-hour delay of the program.
The program started with Qwame Gyedu coming on stage with a powerful praise, then the stage was graced by other powerful artists including Kobby Mantey, Simiane Brahy from France,Teddy and Annister who came in with a power packed ministrations.
Akesse Brempong came on stage to climax the program. His stage craft got the crowd fired up as they sang along his hit reggae songs
Later with an alter call, Akesse lead people to Christ and after took it another step higher with the song "I need no smoke "
It was wonderful experience and will certainly go into the books of music lovers in Kumasi as one of the most successful events.

(Adds details on meeting, company background, details on dispute within Petrobras)
By Guillermo Parra-Bernal
SAO PAULO, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Sete Brasil Participações SA plans to file for bankruptcy protection if state-controlled oil producer Petróleo Brasileiro SA, the rig builder's sole client, fails to present a final lease contract proposal in a week's time, three sources with direct knowledge of the matter said on Friday.
Both Sete Brasil and Petrobras declined to comment.
Petrobras, as the oil company is known, asked for seven days to deliver the proposal, shareholders of Rio de Janeiro-based Sete Brasil were told at a meeting earlier on Friday, said the sources, who requested anonymity to speak freely about the matter.
Luiz Carneiro, Sete Brasil's chief executive officer, delivered the message on behalf of Petrobras, the sources said. The fate of Sete Brasil, which was created in 2008 by Petrobras, pension funds, banks and other partners to build the world's biggest deep-water drilling fleet order, hinges on Petrobras' willingness to sign a long-term rent contract for the rigs.
Shareholders, who have their combined 95 percent stake in an investment vehicle known as FIP Sondas, will request a judge to accept their bankruptcy protection request should Petrobras fail to deliver the proposal, as promised, one of the sources said. The shareholders include pension funds Previ, Funcef and Petros, banks Grupo BTG Pactual SA and Banco Bradesco SA , and investment firms.
"If no proposal is extended within the agreed deadline, Sete Brasil will ask for creditor protection," the same source said.
A bankruptcy filing by Sete Brasil would be devastating not only for the banks, funds and investors that backed the project, but also for dozens of shipbuilders and manufacturers supplying the company. More than 800,000 local shipbuilding jobs could be lost, sparking about 40 billion reais ($10 billion) in losses for the economy, the same source added.
Sete Brasil owes about 18 billion reais to banks, a national workers' severance fund and suppliers, according to company data.
Other Sete Brasil shareholders include Caixa's workers pension fund Funcef, EIG Global Energy Partners and Fundação Valia, the workers' pension fund of mining company Vale SA . None of them had an immediate comment.
The $80 billion, government-backed project began to sour in 2014 when Petrobras and Sete Brasil became engulfed in a massive corruption scandal in Brazil. Fallout from the so-called Operation Car Wash scandal deprived Sete Brasil from obtaining long-term financing, forcing Brazil's top lenders to roll over about 14 billion reais ($3.48 billion) in loans for the past 1-1/2 years.
Petrobras Chief Executive Officer Aldemir Bendine and officials at the company's exploration and production division are at loggerheads over the Sete Brasil contract, Reuters has reported, citing sources. The tussle has forced BTG Pactual and creditors, which include Itaú Unibanco Holding SA and Bradesco, to write off part of the value of their investments and loans to Sete Brasil.
This month, Itaú, Bradesco, Banco Santander Brasil SA and state lenders Caixa Econômica Federal and Banco do Brasil SA agreed to renew almost 15 billion reais' worth of standstill loans until May in exchange for access to 4.3 billion reais in collateral at government-backed naval fund CDFMM, two of the sources said.
According to the sources, about 2.8 billion reais were already withdrawn from the fund, with the remaining likely to be available within days.
Petrobras, which owns 5 percent of Sete Brasil, also requested Sete Brasil to replace restructuring adviser Alvarez & Marsal Holdings LLC with Rothschild & Co, two of the sources said. ($1 = 4.0199 Brazilian reais) (Reporting by Guillermo Parra-Bernal; Editing by Andrew Hay and Matthew Lewis)

How Rising Interest Rates Affect Purchasing Power
Thursday, January 17th, 2019
Anthony Gray Properties
You probably instinctively realize that rising interest rates will affect home buyers. The interest rate you pay can make a big difference in the size of the home loan you will qualify for as well as the price of the home you'll be able to buy. Mortgage brokers use the monthly mortgage payment to determine how much you can afford to pay. Of course the larger the payment, the harder it is to qualify.

The U.S. dollar rose Tuesday, hitting a three-week high as investor tension eased after the U.S. removed some restrictions on Chinese tech giant Huawei.
The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback's strength against a basket of six major currencies, was up 0.2% to 97.922 as of 10:32 AM ET (14:32 GMT) after hitting an earlier high of 97.965.
The U.S. Commerce Department lifted some sanctions that will allow Huawei to purchase American goods after investors voiced worry that the ban could have a strong global impact on technology companies.
The dollar was down against the safe-haven yen, with USD/JPY falling 0.1% to 109.93.

Each Rolex collection has its own distinctive features and particular functions. Lots of loyal fans are fond of these iconic and delicate designs. I believe that modern people regardless of men or women would find their favorite one. Rolex Sky-Dweller collection is famous for its unique designs and practical GMT functions. Depending on its impressive performances, this collection has become one of the most popular products on the watch market.
The elegant Rolex Sky-Dweller replica watches have 42mm Oyster cases and bracelets which are all made from 18ct white gold and Oystersteel. Both materials have solid features and can keep the gloss even in harsh situations. There are white luminescent indexes as hour markers on the white dials. A date aperture is set at 3 o'clock. The neat and unique dials can display many useful functions. Wearers can see the time, date and month. Besides, there is an off-center circle with a black 24-hour scale.
This design is used to show the second time zone with the help of a red triangle. Rolex copy watches with white dials are driven by Cal. 9001, self-winding mechanical movements with perpetual rotors. The accurate Swiss movements are certified by COSC. So the timepieces have reliable and stable performances in most cases. Male and female customers are all willing to wear one piece as a daily companion.

Since its discovery in 2007, the Ursnif banking trojan has made a name for itself as one of the most widely used banking malware variants (second only to Zeus). It is known for stealing bank account details, credit card data, and, in recent years, various other login credentials. Ursnif, which is also known as 'Gozi', can spread via infected USB flash drives, though its most recent campaigns have relied on more traditional malspam techniques.
In one such campaign, our researchers discovered Ursnif hidden in a malicious .zip file attachment. The phishing email's subject line was "AA Insurance Invoice" and the attachment was embedded with a .LNK file which acted as a downloader for actual malware. All these details are available in the IOC section further below.
Additionally, recent threat intelligence evidence suggests some Ursnif campaigns are employing FastFlux techniques in order to evade detection. This technique involves using an ever-changing network of compromised machines to act as proxy servers. By rapidly swapping the CnC IP address, rules-based detection technologies may struggle to keep up with the update cycle. The below screenshot shows the multiple IP addresses believed to be associated with the Fast Flux technique:
Figure 1
Ursnif is a global malware in the truest sense of the word. Recent campaigns have targeted Japanese and Australian users, though it has been used extensively in the past to target European and US victims. Its C&C servers are similarly widespread. Below, we see the location of its servers in the US, South America, Northern Africa, the Middle East and throughout Europe. It is also known to have servers in South East Asia.

Figure 3 Latest detection for this sample
We first tested to see how successful AV vendors were in detecting this sample. While it was picked up by most vendors, it was not identified as Ursnif which would suggest the detections are based on heuristic signatures.
File Properties and DLL dependencies:
The sample our researchers discovered is a 32 bit PE .exe file called "vertex cleaning agency". After reviewing the import DLLs, we spotted features including anti-debug and blacklist APIs. The below snapshot gives more information on PE file type and import DLL details:
Figure 4 File properties and dll dependencies
The above snapshot shows that only two DLLs are found in the import table – Version.dll and Kernel32.dll. We've extrapolated further functionality below:
Figure 5 Blacklisted and Anti-debug API
IsDebuggerPresent, and GetTickCount are obviously anti-debug APIs which are widely used to evade detection.
Behavioural and code analysis:
Our researchers analysed this malware in a controlled environment to observe its behaviour. After execution, it contacts the following Italian URL:

After executing the original file, it creates a duplicate file in a folder inside %appdata% as follows:

By using the above IOCs, in particularl blacklisting the malicious URL and IP addresses, organisations can limit their exposure to the latest Ursnif campaign. While we've seen no evidence in this campaign of the use of infected USB devices, its authors have been known to use this tactic in the past. As such administrators need to a keep strict policy on the usage of unauthorised USB and storage devices inside the network (this should be a no-brainer, but it never hurts to double check).

A gripping noir mystery set against a background of meat processing, incorporating corporate crime, animal rights terrorism and murder.
It should have been a dream come true. Nick fancied her at school but nothing came of it. Six years later they meet up. This time she wants him. Nick plays sax in a band, Babette went on to university and became embroiled in animal rights issues. The nightmare begins when Nick agrees to drive her to a meat processing plant where she intends to get photographic evidence of what goes on inside. Only she doesn't come out again…
Nick's quest to find out what happened to Babette leads him into a dark and complex labyrinth in which heroes become villains and villains are still villains. As Nick probes ever deeper, the story of what really happened to Babette – and why – becomes horrifyingly clear.
