Just because you cannot see contaminants in your drinking water, doesn't mean they are not there. Your tap water contains more than what you could actually see. Your drinking water could contain:
Chlorine in water smells awful and can react with naturally occurring organic compounds in water to form THMs which is dangerous to health.
While fluoride is associated with improving oral health, it can cause health problems such as a weakened immune system and skeletal fluorosis.
Bad Taste
Bad tasting or smelling tap water impacts you daily, no matter if you are cooking or drinking that tap water.
Bacteria & Virus
Your tap water might contain E.Coli, cryptosporidium, cysts or any other pathogen that could pose health problems.
Presence of iron & manganese in water turns water to brownish color leaving stains on plumbing fixtures, toilets, and even your laundry.
Intake of arsenic could lead to severe stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, partial paralysis and increases the risk of cancer.
The corroded pipes in earlier homes could contaminate the water with lead which poses health threats to pregnant women, infants, and young children.
Total Dissolved Salts (TDS)
Your tap water could also contain minerals such as calcium and magnesium which cause damage to electric kettles, washing machines, and dishwashers.

An update on Mary Evelyn Sorenson, the daughter of Alfred and Mae Sorenson. Between Ancestry's Social Security Applications and Claims Index database and the death certificate of the person who had that Social Security Number, I had an idea that I'd found what had happened to my first cousin twice removed. However, her death certificate did not list parents, so I wasn't certain that I had records for the right person.
In July I requested the Social Security SS-5 for the person with Mary's Social Security Number. That's the original application for a social security number. It has date of birth and parents on it usually. Here's what I got:
Many of the items in this application match what I know about Mary Sorenson:
- Father's full name.
- Mother's first name.
- Approximate year of birth.
- Place of birth.
- Name matches the name of Mae Sorenson's daughter in the daughter's announced marriage to George Grantzow.
That's a lot of matching points. And unless someone took over her identity it's the same woman who died in 1990, the S.S.N. and date of birth match the death certicate. I'm considering it pretty safe to assert these are all the same person.
Armed with that information, I was able to find a marriage record for Mary Evelyn Sorenson and Herbert George Fredericks in Los Angeles from 1935.
For some reason, Mary Sorenson thought her mother's maiden name was Radtke. The other indication I have for Mae's maiden name comes from Mae's marriage record, which gave her name as Gibbons. She was raised in an orphanage, so I don't know how accurate either name is.
I can start to put together a timeline for Mary Sorenson now:

Self storage Article
They say a change is as good as a holiday – and a change of season is just the thing to get your blood buzzing and your mind ready to de-winter your home.
Spring is here, and it's out with the old, in with the new – but luckily, that doesn't mean that you have to get rid of your belongings for good. Simply pack away your winter gear in Self Storage, ready to haul out once the colder seasons come along again.
There are real benefits to doing this: you'll simplify your home environment, allowing yourself space to breathe. Less time spent cleaning clutter and looking for stuff means more time you can spend on yourself, reading or resting or having fun with friends and family. And you'll know exactly where all of your belongings are, making it easy to find what you need.
Here are a few tips to make the process easier.
Get serious
Nope, we don't mean that you should go crazy and throw out the baby with the bathwater – rather use these tips to get in the right headspace for the big clean.
- Make a list of rooms you'd like to clean, starting with the easiest first. In this way, you can tackle one room at a time, and the process won't seem so overwhelming. Don't try to do the entire house in one day!
- If you don't have much time, take five minutes a day to fill one cardboard box, and one trash bag. The cardboard box goes into Self Storage, while the trash bag goes – you guessed it – in the trash.
- You can also put four cardboard boxes in each room, marking them as "trash", "give away", "Self Storage", or "relocate". Fill them up!
- Only keep items that you consider to be beautiful, useful, or both. If you don't love something, let it go – there are people out there who need it more and will give it a home. If you do love that gorgeous – and useful – quilt, but don't see yourself using it in summer, put it in Self Storage. That counts for the skis and snowboards too!
- Pro tip: only buy your packing and storage materials AFTER you've sorted through your house – you'll know exactly what you need, and how strong and versatile your materials should be.
That's it for part 1 of our Spring Cleaning – series – look out for part 2, where we explain the best way to pack your belongings for Self Storage.
KeepSafe Storage in O'Connor and Balcatta can look after your property, we offer clean, safe and secure storage units, suiting almost every need, and you can purchase all your packing materials direct from our website.

text: In speaking on the telephone with Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen and lashing out at China on Twitter over the weekend, President-elect Donald Trump did more than bewilder leaders in Beijing and the White House. He made clear that he's serious about his vows to wring a new deal from China on trade and appears to be ready to challenge at least the atmospherics of the US relationship with Taiwan – an issue of deep sensitivity in Beijing. His tactics also show that President Trump promises to be just as much of a disruptor in international relations as he has been in domestic politics, no matter what conventions get broken in the process. But so far, analysts say, it is not clear that Trump – for all his bombast – is preparing to tear up the strategic framework that has underpinned Sino-US relations since President Richard Nixon went to China to open relations between the two countries four decades ago. Trump's inexperience in foreign affairs and the fact that he is yet to name a secretary of state or senior Asia policy team means there is uncertainty in Washington and across the Pacific about his intentions. China watchers are trying to work out if the call with Tsai is a sign that Trump is ready to challenge the strategic ambiguity of the "One China" policy itself that has been the cornerstone of bilateral relations since the establishment of diplomatic relations. The formula, enshrined in the documents that eventually led to the establishment of US relations with China, permits Beijing to regard Taiwan as a part of China and the United States to sell the nationalist island arms to defend itself against the mainland, and has headed off a major US-China clash over the issue. Trump's call with Tsai was initially described by the presidential transition as a courtesy call. But now his supporters suggest that the first reported direct contact between a president or a president-elect with a Taiwanese leader in 40 years was more significant. "Taiwan is our ally," former Trump economic adviser Stephen Moore said in a radio interview Monday on the Big John and Ray Show on WLS AM890. "That is a country that we have backed because they believe in freedom. We ought to back our ally, and if China doesn't like it, screw 'em." Reince Priebus, Trump's pick to be his chief of staff, said Monday that Moore is not an adviser for Trump's transition. But the diplomatic balance over Taiwan is so delicate that some analysts fear Trump could be starting a confrontation that could easily spin out of control, endanger other crucial areas of the US-China relationship and even so hike tensions that a military clash is possible in the Pacific. "I think that until the inauguration, China is unlikely to let this escalate with the President-elect," said Jessica Chen Weiss, a China expert at Cornell University."After January 20, I think all bets are off." "China would be willing to sacrifice cooperation across the board to stand firm against any move to give Taiwan diplomatic recognition and undermine the "One China policy," according to Weiss. Trump takes fresh swipe at China What is Trump's strategy? When news broke of Trump's conversation Friday with Tsai, many foreign policy experts simply chalked it up to a rookie error. But after Trump hit back on Twitter by pointing out the seemingly illogical convention that will give him power as president to sell arms to Taiwan but not talk to its leader, the consensus began to shift. When Trump returned to Twitter over the weekend to accuse China of devaluing its currency and building a "massive military complex" in the South China Sea, it became clear that he was making a tough initial gambit in his unfolding relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping. "He wants to negotiate a new deal with China. Obviously this call does what he said he is going to do. He wants to shake up China," said Michael Pillsbury, an author and China expert who has advised Trump and called him a "strategic genius." "He is going to be firm and he is reminding them we need to have a talk now (between) Beijing and Washington," Pillsbury said on CNN Monday. Trump's attitude mirrors a recent Foreign Policy article written by two other advisers – Peter Navarro and Alexander Gray – that was seen widely as a blueprint for his upcoming China strategy. The authors warned that President Barack Obama's Asia pivot, partly conceived to cope with the rise of China, was a case of talking loudly but "carrying a small stick." Trump, they suggested, would adopt a policy of "peace through strength," vastly expanding the US Navy to respond more robustly to Chinese territorial claims in the East and South China Seas and make clear that American interests in the region would be paramount. Patrick Cronin, a senior director at the Center for A New American Security, said that Trump was intent on demonstrating to China that its rising power would not be met by an atrophying United States. "What Trump is doing is to try to create new leverage, new maneuvering room in what is going to be a protracted complex negotiating position with China," said Cronin, who backed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the presidential race. "This move signals early on that he is capable of coloring outside the lines on US-China relations, not just in domestic policy. " White House weighs in China's response Some commentators have argued that China sees Trump's presidency as an opportunity. His decision to cancel the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal is seen as playing into Beijing's hopes of establishing its own economic order in the region, since the massive US-led trade deal cut out the Asian superpower. Trump's campaign trail warnings that Japan and South Korea must do more to pay for their US defense umbrella were also interpreted as presaging a US retreat from the region. But China might be taking another look at Trump after this weekend. Beijing's initial response to Trump's call with Tsai was sophisticated – restating the importance of the "One China policy" but also giving Trump and his team the benefit of the doubt by blaming Taiwan for initiating the call. Such a strategy suggests that Beijing could expect that the new US president will initially have a contentious relationship with China – as has happened in the past – before the logic of the wider relationship eases tensions. Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, a longtime China-watcher, said Beijing had made a decision not to play into Trump's hands. "I think we are in for at least a couple of months of general uncertainty," Rudd told CNN's Richard Quest on Monday. "The Chinese response still is this is a shake-down period – perhaps President Trump is pushing us and probing us. Perhaps he is seeking to obtain some negotiating chips," he suggested they're saying, "but we are not going to rise to the bait." However, Beijing also sent clear signs – through a Global Times editorial, often a conduit for Communist Party thought – that if Trump was spoiling for a fight, he could be biting off more than he can chew. "No matter what the reasons are behind Trump's outrageous remarks, it appears inevitable that Sino-US ties will witness more troubles in his early time in the White House than any other predecessor," the Times said. "We must be fully prepared, both mentally and physically, for this scenario." Kerry says Trump did not consult State Dept. prior to calls If it comes to it, China could make life difficult for the Trump administration. It could refuse to help slow the nuclear program of close ally North Korea, impose tariffs on US goods or make it more difficult for American businesses to operate in China. Weiss said Beijing could also hold military maneuvers to show the US and Taipei "that China's resolve is unshaken." Trump's critics are puzzled why he would open his relationship with China by initiating a clash over Taiwan and then doubling down. "Some of the progress we have made in our relationship with China could be undermined by this issue flaring up," White House spokesman Josh Earnest warned. Christopher Hill, a former assistant secretary of state, said that the "One China" policy was successful and did not need fixing. "It's not an issue, it works, it is not among the list of the terrible problems in East Asia," Hill told CNN International's Hala Gorani. "If we start going after things that are not a problem, I think that some of these problems that we have for which we need US-China cooperation, if you will, we are going to find it tougher and tougher to work with the Chinese," he continued. Opinion: Trump's brilliant move No consensus in Washington Still, there is no consensus in Washington that Trump really wants to throw the foundations of US-China policy out the window. Walter Lohman, a former Republican Senate policy aide who is now director of Asian Studies at the Heritage Foundation, said that both sides remain committed to the basic post-Nixon era framework of US-China relations. "I could see tensions increasing, but all within the framework," he said. "They definitely want to preserve it, and I think right now, they are calculating that we want to do the same." Republican Rep. Matt Salmon, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific once lived in Taiwan and has been to China more than 50 times, and said he saw no risk to the "One China Policy." Asked on CNN whether Taiwan could cause a military clash between the US and China, he added: "Not at all." "I think that the Chinese understand how important we are to their economic success," Salmon said on CNN. Despite the uproar, it's too early to panic about the state of US-China relations under Trump, according to Rudd. "Let's not proclaim cataclysm on the basis of a tweet or two, or four or six," he said. UPDATE: This story has been updated to reflect that Moore is not an adviser on the transition.

Two teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of robbery following an incident on Tuesday (April 8) in Sunbury.
A woman reported to police that she was approached from behind and robbed as she walked along Fisk Close between 10pm and 11pm.
The 19-year-old was pushed up against a wall and then pushed to the ground after the attackers grabbed and stole £30 from her handbag.
Two teenage boys, aged 14 and 16, were subsequently arrested on suspicion of robbery and bailed until Tuesday May 13.
Detective Constable Claire Langdon of Staines CID said: "I am appealing for anyone who was in the area of Fisk Close last Tuesday night and saw any suspicious activity to come forward.
"We have made two arrests in connection with this case but I am keen to hear from anyone who has any information which could assist with our enquiries."

Order proceess was easy and on arrival tail tidy was well protected and wrapped. Fairly easy process to install with the pictorial instructions. Reccommend youtube SK Xiii RS 660 evo tech tail tidy install. Looks the part once fitted. Good job EP. 👍👍
Easy to install, well made and an excellent fit with cut-outs for the split pin on the nearside(LHS)
My previous phone holder was a Ram. To be fair it did the trick. However it was not a bespoke design. After looking at various designs I kept returning to the Quad. It looked part of the bike, not just an after thought. The quality and design is far better then the Ram, yes it cots a little more but in my opinion it's worth it. Highly Recommend
Various ways of fitting this with 2 sets of brackets, I mounted back towards the tank and "ears" pointing down so the phone does not interfere with the main display.

Today on Instagram's #MarchMeetTheMaker we're looking at raw materials. It's a running joke in our house that I've got far too much craft materials, but frankly you never know when inspiration might strike!
Below is a selection of raw materials. On the left is an old sleep suit of my daughters. Ironically it's probably where inspiration for @bluebeaglebaby came from as i loved the material so much I couldn't bear to get rid of it when she'd outgrown it so decided to upcycle it into a bib, teether and dummy clip. The response from friends was so positive that I decided to start making more things and it's definitely grown since then! The bucket on the right is a selection of the fabric stash I keep around
The middle picture is balls of beautiful alpaca wool. I treated myself to them with my royalties from 'Weird Wild' and 'Tales of the Nun and Dragon'. However, I can't decide what to knit with them! I've so far tried two patterns but I wasn't happy with how either turned out so have frogged them and will reknit. The wool feels so soft to knit with, I may just keep changing my mind as an excuse to keep knitting!
Don't forget to follow me on Instagram! @bluebeaglebaby I'd love to hear from you

Damp and black mould in the home is caused by excess moisture. Cold surfaces can create condensation in your home. Condensation collects on cold metal pipes as well as on cold concrete floors and on walls. Places where condensation occurs are prime spots for mould growth. If your home is also poorly ventilated, it can create a build-up of moist air which mould thrives in. Black mould can be found in any room, particularly bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens. Black mould problem is not only unsightly, and causes musty smells; it also is a serious health hazard. Black mould is a fungal growth that thrives in damp conditions and the spores it releases can lead to respiratory problems among many other health issues.
There can be differing causes for black mould growth. Quite often, attempts to save on heating bills by blocking up vents and installing loft insulations and UPVC windows leads to a change in the airflow in the property. With a reduction of fresh air, there is often a build-up of moisture which in turn can lead to black mould growth.
People try to remove black mould with varied success. If the issues with condensation and ventilation don't change, then the mould growth will return. We can help find a permanent solution because of our expertise in this field.

The National Enquirer reports an on-set source that said, "During a break in filming, Will had gone to his dressing trailer to rest, but when he got there, he heard an eerie rattling noise - then strange voices coming from the bathroom."
Ferrell reportedly thought there were intruders in his bathroom, and that it sounded like someone having sex in there.
After security was called to check it out, Ferrell returned to the trailer "but once again, he heard the weird noises coming from the bathroom ... This time, he threw open the door and was shocked when he saw...NOTHING!" The source says that Ferrell announced, "It's ghosts from that graveyard ... and I'm NOT going back in there." So the producers were forced to get the comedian a new trailer.
File this one under "as told by dubious source."

This article will be the companion of the last one, as people seem to want to know the good, as well as the bad( and they should!) A synastry can be a thing of beauty. Soul mate synastry is rare, but good synastry is not. I will talk about soulmate synastry first, as that is everyone's goal. If you do not have an exact soulmate synastry, you can still have good synastry.
1. North Node Aspects
I would look at the NN first. I am a NN nut, as I am a Moon nut. One cannot overcome these factors, in my opinion, so I go right to them! Just as we do not want a bad asteroid conjunct our NN, we DO want a "bells and whistles" stellar asteroid. We want the kind of relationship where we can walk on air, as if in a musical but are next to our beloved, decades later. I have seen it, so I know it exists. I would go out on a limb and say that they had soulmate charts( or close). So, when you go through the list of asteroids, you can see what would be bells and whistles. It is obvious that the love asteroids bring just that: love. There are many love asteroids. Each may have a slightly different tinge to love, as in the Greek language, which has four words to describe it. If you study the love asteroids, you will see variations in the kind of love. I will make a list for you and come back and put it here. It will not be exhaustive, as there are many thousands of asteroids, but it will be a good start.
A. Eros—erotic feelings. This would not be love, per se, just erotic feelings
B. Amor—-a true kind of love. Love combined with kindness, compassion and empathy
C. Adonis or Aphrodite—worship of the person. This would not be love, per se. It would be the kind of hero worship we have for celebrities.
D. Valentine–perhaps the truest form of love. This is sacrificial love where one would give his life for the beloved.
E. Cupido–this is fake love. This is the look of lover with the attention to deceive the other person
F. Sappho–Eros with a love of any of the arts such as literature, music or fine arts
G. Ceres–I love this one as this is a mother's love–the most pure and truest love of a mother for her baby. This is nurturing love.
H. Vesta—Sacrificial love where the person will sacrifice themselves for the person they love. A surrogate mother would embody Vesta's love as she sacrifices her womb and her body for a child for another mother. Think of this when you think of Vesta's love and you will understand it.
I. Pallas–this is a tribal elder's form of wisdom. It is a wise person imparting wisdom to another.
J. Psyche–This is a soul mate mental and emotional connection. This is not physical. When it is paired with Eros, it becomes one of the primary pairs of asteroids we look for to determine if it is a soulmate chart. Psyche would be similar to Moon trine Moon. Planets always have more power than asteroids because they are stronger, energetically. However, if you have read what I wrote about Moon trine Moon, you can apply that to Psyche and how it works in the synastry.
K. Child–I put this here because soul mate love is Moon to Moon or child to child. When we truly fall in love with someone, our child touches his child. Hence, the Child asteroid, which represents one's inner child, should have a place of prominence in the synastry. If not, I would be wary. For example, I would not like to see one person's Child asteroid conjunct the Nessus asteroid of the other. Nessus is the asteroid of abuse. I would not want to see the Child asteroid conjunct any of the dark or angst filled asteroids.
L. Bacchus—This asteroid likes over the top sexual things such as orgies. I would not want Bacchus in a very prominent place in the synastry. It could be in a lesser place and that would be fine. I would not want it conjunct the NN, which would be one's purpose in life. If a man had a very strong Bacchus, such as Bacchus conjunct the NN, I would not want this, as his life would be consumed with over the top sexual pursuits, which I would not want, myself.
K. Pan is the same as Bacchus
L Nymphe would be similar to Bacchus but Nymphe may want numbers of people, as notches in his belt rather than over the top activities such as orgies.
K. Joya—joy
L. Boda–the Spanish word for marriage
M. Breide and Groom– bride and groom, which would be a marriage aspect
N. Alma–the Spanish word for soul. I would classify this as Psyche or Moon trine Moon. This would be a deep heart aspect such as best friends.
The NN is so pivotal because it is the goal of each person's life. In synastry, we can see if the goals line up or are averse. We can see exactly what one person will bring to another. Do you want that? That is the crucial question for anyone contemplating marriage. We all want a marriage to last. You will live, eat and breathe what your partner brings to the NN.
2. Moon trine Moon, Moon sextile Moon, Moon conjunct Moon
I have many articles on this. A soulmate relationship could not be such, without this, in my humble opinion.
3. Pure Attraction Aspect( but no lasting quality)
Mars conjunct Venus. We can add to this by talking about the other possibilities with Mars and Venus. We have the conjunction( which is always the strongest), the trine or sextile( which can be looked at as the same thing for purposes of this discussion), the opposition and the square. Mars conjunct Venus is super attraction. It is like boy sees girl across the room and cupid's arrow hits boy and girl and cartoon hearts come forth. the trine would be the same easy attraction. The opposition and square would have the attraction but the element of fighting, but it would be fighting with that sexual edge. There has to be squares and oppositions in synastry or else it is like brother/sister. There has to be that passionate sexual tension. The opposition and squares between Mars and Venus would provide that. I hope I explained that well.
4. Electrical Attraction Aspects( but no lasting quality)
Uranus conjunct the ASC, Sun, Moon, Venus or Mars
5. Primal emotional and sexual attraction
Moon trine or sextile Pluto
Venus trine or sextile Pluto
I will be back to fill in and add more.

For Boys With Autism, Video Gaming Can Be Problematic
Boys with autism are spending significantly more time playing video games than their typically developing peers and are at higher risk for gaming to be problematic or addictive, researchers say.
On a daily basis, boys with autism are spending more than two hours playing video games. That's nearly twice the playing time clocked by their typically developing peers, according to a study published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
Researchers surveyed the parents of boys ages 8 to 18 — 56 with autism, 44 with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and 41 with no diagnosis — about their children's gaming habits.

Problematic or addictive video game use was much more prevalent among those with autism and ADHD, the study found. In boys with autism, this propensity toward problematic play was associated with a preference toward role-playing games.
"These results suggest that children with ASD and those with ADHD may be at particularly high risk for significant problems related to video game play, including excessive and problematic video game use," wrote study authors Micah Mazurek and Christopher Engelhardt, both of the University of Missouri, in their findings. "Attention problems, in particular, are associated with problematic video game play for children with ASD and ADHD, and role-playing games appear to be related to problematic game use particularly among children with ASD."
Further study is needed to assess the long-term impact of screen-based media like video games on those with autism, the researchers said. In the meantime, they indicated that clinicians need to be more aware of the potential for problematic game use among those with autism and ADHD.
Previous research — also conducted by Mazurek — found that boys with autism who played role-playing video games displayed more oppositional behaviors like arguing. But it was unclear whether the games were sparking the problems or if children with behavior troubles were drawn to the genre.

AGFC looking for deer stand research assistants
Sept. 23, 2020
Randy Zellers
Assistant Chief of Communications
LITTLE ROCK – Hunters can help the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's wildlife management efforts through the AGFC's free Deer Hunting Observation Survey available through the AGFC app. The app is available through both the iTunes app store and the Google Play store.
The mobile survey lets hunters record sightings of game species such as deer, bear, quail, turkey, and furbearers and also nongame species such as feral hogs while hunting.
Blake Sasse, Nongame Mammal Program Coordinator for the AGFC, says hunter observation survey has been used since 2004; however, the process went completely electronic in 2014. The app makes it even easier for the hunter to participate and gives them something else to pursue while in the stand. Even if you don't see any animals during your hunt, completing a survey each time you go out provides helpful information to the Commission about how often species are seen.
"We use the information to help track trends in populations of some species," Sasse said. "With deer we go into a little more depth, such as ratio of bucks to does, antlers of various sizes for bucks. … It's definitely part of the long-term monitoring program for all of these species," Sasse said.
In addition to hunter observation data, the AGFC deer program receives biological data collected from approximately 700 Deer Management Assistance Program clubs across the state; from statewide incidental deer observations collected by AGFC employees, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the USDA Forest Service within the months of August and September; and from hunter harvest data. All of this is analyzed in order to make decisions on deer management by deer zone.

text: With a firm belief in atoms, impressive physical insight and armed with a few simple rules, Dalton was able to construct a table of relative weights, which he first presented in 1803 at a talk to the Literary and Philosophical Society of Manchester. In 1805, this effort first appeared in print, with a systematic explanation of the method appearing in 1808 when Dalton published the first volume of his book A New System of Chemical Philosophy. Here, with hydrogen as his reference, he gave the following relative weights: hydrogen (H) 1; nitrogen (N) 5; carbon (C) 5.4; oxygen (O) 7; phosphorus (P) 9; sulfur (S) 13 and so on, including several elements and compounds.

Every year, there is, between christmas and new-year, a hacker conference called the Chaos Communication Congress. I went twice, when it was still in Berlin (now it is in Hamburg) and it was always interesting. One important topic of the conference is computer security, with various teams showing weaknesses in the systems around us. The general situation has always been bleak: as computer security is generally not a priority, softwares and devices are full of bugs that can be exploited.
The highlight of the 2013 edition of the conference was certainly the presentation by Jacob Applebaum giving an overview on the various tools and technique deployed by the NSA to monitor, basically everybody. The same information was published in the newspaper spiegel. The underlying theme is that hacking, that was in the mythological days the realm of the lone hackers, was taken over first by the criminal and now by the military, be it the NSA, or the equivalent in various other countries: China, Malaysia or Ethiopia. All these organisations use complete hacking suites, that not only attack the victim, but the network infrastructure, and any people around them, the computer equivalent of carpet bombing. The situation is not bleak anymore, it is bad.
The NSA infrastructure is also meant to monitor the communication of every person, regardless of their citizenship or legal status, everybody is suspect and computer algorithm are the judges. Of course, the system is not only used for thwarting terrorists, but also spying on US allies (Angela Merkel's phone was hacked and used to spy on her), and those who remember Echelon will agree that the new NSA system is probably also used for industrial espionage, like the old one was.
People tend to react with news of surveillance programs by claiming that they are not interesting enough to monitor, they fail to see that with the economies of scales that can be achieved, they can be hacked and monitored for a few cents. At that price, everybody is interesting. Remember that most web services are so cheap they can be paid for using ads. Also computer systems are based on the guilt by association paradigm, so if you ever where somehow in contact with somebody interesting (muslim, activist, IT-student, etc.), you are interesting. If you read this blog, you were in contact with data from a high profile target, so you probably became interesting. Sorry about that.
Traditionally, the CCC has little direct impact outside of the computer security world, this year was a bit different. The leaked NSA slides show that they have access to manufacturer specific weaknesses, either because those manufacturers did a sloppy job, or because they cooperated and added them. This forced those companies to respond to those claims, generally to say that they did not cooperate with the NSA (except by their own incompetence), and stating that these methods are akin to criminal hacking.
Coming from US companies, those denials do not mean that much, as they could well be under some legal order to lie. Still it is interesting to see an organisation that is supposed to protected US interest forcing top US companies to basically fall on their swords, damaging their reputations.
What will happen this year? The problem seems to have gotten to big to ignore, the NSA found all these juicy weaknesses and did not have them fixed, so there will be a rush to find them, in the good case by security researchers, in the bad by criminal organisations or corporations that sell espionages kits. Depending on who finds the first, this means either a PR nightmare, or a massive hacking, not a good prospect either case.
So I suspect two things will happen, first the PR offensive of various IT corporations will increase, second they will quietly beef up security, this will probably be very discreet, maybe increased bug reward programs. This would also probably mean that new releases will slow down – designing secure systems is hard – but I can live with that.

Huawei has launched another new handset dubbed as the Huawei Honor 3C Play. The device is a budget-friendly version of the Huawei Honor 3C, and comes with a little downgraded specifications compared to its bigger sibling.
The budget-friendly Huawei Honor 3C Play rocks a 5-inch display sporting a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, and is powered by a quad-core MediaTek MT6582 chipset with a quad-core 1.3GHz Cortex processor with a Mali400-MP2 GPU and 1GB of RAM.
Most of the specifications of the Huawei Honor 3C Play is similar to its big brother with the major difference being the RAM — it features 1GB of RAM compared to 2GB in the Huawei Honor 3C.
On the storage side, there's a 16GB storage on board with microSD card slot. Other features include 8MP camera for photos and videos, a 2MP front-facing camera, 2,000 mAh battery, 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, GPS, AGPS, Bluetooth 4.0, dual-SIM support and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with Emotions UI as its operating system.
The handset will hit retail in China soon with a 599 yuan. An international retailer listed the device for €130, but it's currently listed as out of stock. There's no word if the device will hit retail internationally. We'll update you as soon as it hits retail.

text: Dual Microsoft Azure deployment: Project synchronization Monday, 23 July 2012 15:41:17 CDT David-Braverman Work (0) Last week I offered developers a simple way to simultaneously deploy a web application to a Microsoft Azure web site and an Azure Cloud Services web role. Today I'm going to point out a particular pain with this approach that may make you reconsider trying to deploy to both environments. Just to recap: since Azure web sites are free, or nearly so, you can save at least $15 a month by putting a demo instance of your app there rather than having a second web role for it. You'll still use a web role for your staging and production environments, of course. While reading my last post, though, sharp-eyed developers might have noticed that the dual approach creates some additional maintenance overhead. Specifically, you'll need to keep both solution (.sln) files and both web project (.csproj) files in sync. This becomes part of your staging deployment task list, which means you probably only have to synchronize the files once every few weeks, not such a big deal. Still, if you've never hand-edited a solution or project file before, it can be a little daunting. The solution file probably won't require much synchronization, unless you've added new projects—or new files outside of projects—to the solution. For example, at 10th Magnitude we like to keep all of our database scripts in the solution tree, for easy access. (We also use the open-source RoundhousE tool for database deployment, which I'll talk about in a subsequent post.) If we add new database files to the web site solution, they won't automatically show up in the web role solution. Same with the web project file: adding new controllers, views, or web forms to a project is very common. So you'll have to make sure all the changes in the web site project get migrated over to the web role project. Keep in mind, though, that some things will remain different between the two pairs of files. The web role solution will have a Cloud Services project, mapping the web and worker role entry points, which the web site won't have. And the web site project file will have references to Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime.dll and msshrtmi.dll that the web role project won't have. Here's a synchronized pair of solution files, using Beyond Compare to show the deltas: And here are the two project files, also synchronized, showing the differences you need to wind up with: One final thing to consider: if you have a paying client, they might not want to pay for development time to synchronize the two deployment environments. If you're charging $125 an hour, and you spend 30 minutes every four weeks—$62.50—to save the client $15 for an additional cloud services instance, that isn't good value. But for an internal application (like the 10th Magnitude brochure site), or for a personal project, the savings might be worth the hassle.

At The Daily Beast, Doig named five of his favorite books on the American West, including:
The American West as Living SpaceRead about the other books on Doig's list.
by Wallace Stegner
Once when I asked a prominent historian what he thought of the many writings by Stegner, novelist and English department star at Harvard and Stanford, about the background and the West, he didn't hesitate: "He hits the nail on the head every time, damn him." This trio of essays, a mere 86 pages of text delivered as a set of university lectures, is a marvel—composed nearly 30 years before fracking, pine beetle kill of forests from Colorado to British Columbia, unprecedented fire seasons with suburbs on the front line—of exploring his great theme of the country west of the rain-halting 98th Meridian, the clash of its ecologies and its cultures.

The deer who gained widespread attention earlier this week has been freed from the flotation gear it somehow managed to get caught in.
A member of the BC Conservation Officer Service was able to get close enough to the deer Friday, capturing it and removing the debris from its antlers.
"The buck quickly recovered and moved on," the conservation service tweeted.
The deer was initially noticed by a woman Sept.15, after it was spotted by her husband in their backyard.
Campbell River CO's captured this deer today and removed some unnecessary floatation gear from its antlers. The buck quickly recovered and moved on. Keep your yard free of entanglements #campbellriver pic.twitter.com/6hD3PUJsdZ— BC CO Service (@_BCCOS) September 22, 2018
Heather Brooks tracked it for about 45 minutes in hopes that help would come. When the animal disappeared, she went door-to-door to inform people about the situation.
By Wednesday, the BC Conservation Office had received five or six reports about a deer entangled in rope, mesh and pieces of foam floats, said conservation officer Steve Petrovcic.
The conservation service is reminding residents to keep their yards free of garbage and debris that can lead to an animal getting entangled or stuck.

Working on your personal brand should be fun. This should be an ongoing activity, and not a chore to accomplish.
So, as you work each day on making the best impression, networking and building relationships with others, there may be a few things that slip into your conversation that you should really try to avoid.
Three major items to avoid:
1. Don't name drop – Have you ever spoken with someone who just tosses out names of important figures during the course of a conversation? How does that make you feel when you walk away? You just might walk away thinking about how those names were just thrown out there with no real impact on the conversation. Either you feel inferior, or you lose respect for whomever you were speaking with. You may even experience a "really, they really just dropped 5 names in 3 minutes" sensation. Really? Who does this person think they are?
● Instead – Leaving names out of a conversation isn't a bad thing if they aren't necessary or relevant. If someone wants to know they will ask.
2. Don't be shy – If you have ever gone to a gathering, party or networking event, you will most likely have seen (or not noticed) that person standing off to the side, maybe by themselves, observing all of the other conversations taking place. Don't be that guy!
● Instead – While people-watching can be entertaining, it does nothing for your network. Take a few deep breaths and find one person you would like to introduce yourself to. The next event you attend, meet two new people and keep growing from there. Public speaking, even one on one with a stranger, is uncomfortable for some, but people who make a first approach are memorable.
3 Don't Brag – Good things tend to happen to those who do not brag. If you want to share good news with your close friends and family, this is one thing. To share this same news with those you network with has the potential to be misinterpreted to have a negative impression. You may have the most sincere of meanings behind the discussion but the recipient may not share your sentiment.
● Instead – Put the focus on the person you are speaking with at that time. Ask questions about what they do and be absolutely interested during the conversation. Get to know them better. If you in turn are asked questions that lead you to sharing some information, great. Just don't provide it without prompting if it isn't relevant or interesting to your conversation partner.

These are really zingy, citrussy cakes. The sharpness of lemon combines so well with the white chocolate. It's important to buy good white chocolate, as it makes a better icing; I prefer Swiss brands.
Cook Time15 - 17 minutes
ServesMakes 12
- 175g self-raising flour, sifted
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Finely grated zest of 2 large unwaxed lemons
- 175g golden caster sugar
- 175g unsalted butter, really soft, in small pieces
- 3 (150g) eggs beaten
- 12 tsp lemon curd
- 200g good-quality white chocolate, finely chopped
- 200g unsalted butter, very soft
- 12 fresh or crystallised violets
- Apple corer (optional)
- Large piping bag, fitted with a star nozzle
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/350°F/gas mark 4 and line a cupcake cake tray with 12 paper cases. I use a food mixer for this cake, but you could use a large bowl and a hand-held electric whisk, or a food processor.
2. Sift the flour and baking powder into the bowl. Split the vanilla pod length ways, if using, and scrape the seeds into the bowl with the tip of a knife, or simply add the vanilla extract.
3. Add the sugar, butter and eggs. Beat until well mixed, then divide between the cases. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and spring back to the touch. Leave in the tin for a few minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Once the cakes are cool, remove the centre of each using an apple corer or a teaspoon and place 1 tsp of lemon curd into the centre. Replace the cake 'plug'.
5. To make the buttercream, put the white chocolate into a heatproof bowl and stand it over barely simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Once melted, remove from the heat and allow to cool.
6. In a food mixer, or in a bowl using a hand-held electric whisk, cream the butter until light, then slowly add the cooled, melted chocolate. Chill slightly, then whisk to thicken. Fill the piping bag and pipe the buttercream on to the cupcakes. Decorate each with a dry, freshly picked violet, or a crystallised violet.

text: Money / Boeing 777 Fuel Costs Ground Extended Flights Too pricey to keep 'flying tankers' in the air By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted Jul 8, 2008 4:52 AM CDT Copied A Cathay Pacific Airbus A340 taxis back to a gate at Vancouver International Airport , Friday, Dec. 14, 2007. (AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Richard Lam) Super-long flights were hailed as the future of aviation only a few years ago, but the soaring price of fuel has grounded those plans, reports the Wall Street Journal. Airlines are delaying or canceling intercontinental routes as the cost of keeping "flying tankers" in the air for over 12 hours stops making economic sense. Orders have dropped for planes like the Boeing 777 and Airbus 340, capable of making globe-spanning flights. Airline chiefs say super-long flights still have a future, but they are finding fewer passengers willing to pay big premiums for the ease of flying non-stop. Singapore Airlines is keeping the world's longest flight—18 hours from Singapore to New York—going for now, but without an economy class. (Read more Boeing 777 stories.) Report an error

Hated India, Indians since 1971: David Headleytext_fields
Mumbai: Pakistani-American LeT terrorist-turned-approver David Coleman Headley said here on Friday that he nursed a hatred towards India and Indians since December 1971 when his school was bombed by Indian fighter planes during India-Pakistan war which saw the creation of Bangladesh.
"I have this hatred... towards Indian since December 7, 1971... When Indian planes had bombed my school... The school was destroyed and many people who worked there had died," Headley claimed on the third day of his ongoing cross-examination before Special Judge G. A. Sanap on Friday.
He was replying to the questions posed by lawyer Abdul Wahab Khan, the defence cousel for Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal, one of the key plotters of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
Headley was referring to the bombing of his school during the India-Pakistan war which saw the dismemberment of East Pakistan that became Bangladesh.
The childhood incident when he was barely 10 years old left such an imprint on his tender mind that Headley decided to join the Lashkar-e-Taiba later to avenge the bombing of his school.
He admitted that it was one of the reasons why he joined the LeT years later.
In another disclosure, Headley, 56, said he made attempt to organise a fund-raising programme for the Shiv Sena party and even invite the party's founder-patriarch, the late Bal Thackery to the US, but he had no plans to attack him there.
Incidentally, on February 12 he had revealed a plot to kill the late Bal Thackeray and on March 24 (Thursday) he spoke of an attack made on him (Thackeray) with the attacker caught but managed to escape from police custody.
Headley said that he was in touch with the then Shiv Sena Public Relations Officer Rajaram Rege whom he had earlier befriended in connection with the planned trip for the late Thackeray.
Though Headley never met the late Thackeray, he was open to inviting some other Sena leader after Rege informed that the senior Thackeray was old and unwell, he said.
Headley is being cross-examined by Khan via video-conferencing from an unknown location in the US where he is currently undergoing a 35-year jail sentence for the 26/11 and Denmark terror strikes.

TBLFAS #56: Leif Hinkle, Aaron Semer & Reilly Whiting
TBASA's Lo-Fi All Stars (#TBLFAS) is an intimate weekly concert series hosted by long time NadaMucho.com Contributor Tim Basaraba. The shows are free and take place at the Benbow Room in West Seattle beginning at 8 p.m. each Wednesday night.
Here's Tim with his thoughts on the musicians performing on January 14.
Leif Hinkle
Each word seems to be a labor of love for this talented young fellow. And each strum of his guitar is interesting and not the status quo.
Aaron Semer
Last time Aaron played #TBLFAS it felt like I was hearing ancient stories through song. I hope he does that again.
Reilly Whiting
When I started #TBLFAS, part of the mission was to see stripped down performances from people who normally just play out with their band. Reilly falls into this category. His band, Good Men and Thorough, is great and I cant wait to see some of their songs stripped down.
Each week we'll post photos from #TBLFAS on our Facebook and Flickr pages, and you can watch videos on Tim's YouTube channel. Performers interested in participating should email Tim at tbasamusic (at) gmail (dot) com or Tweet @timbasaraba with the hash tag #TBLFAS.

"Education is an important element in the struggle for human rights. It is the means to help our children and our people rediscover their identity and thereby increase their self-respect. Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs only to the people who prepare for it today."
Malcolm X
By Bankole Thompson
My late godfather and mentor George Haley, the brother of Roots author Alex Haley, repeatedly shared with me the significance of the Brown v. Board of Education landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed segregated schools. Haley, who saw education as a liberating tool for black children like him who grew up under Jim Crow and were the victims of racist laws at the time, graduated from the University of Arkansas Law School in Fayetteville in 1952, two years before the Brown decision was handed down. He was one of six black students who desegregated the law school and were known as the Six Pioneers.
He was the second African American to graduate, and because of the stench of Jim Crow during that period, he was forced to take some of his law classes in the basement of the building for his own safety. His brother Alex would document the racial humiliation and taunts that George, who took some classes earlier with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., at Morehouse College, for his undergraduate studies, suffered in a Reader's Digest article titled, "The Man Who Wouldn't Quit." George graduated from Morehouse in 1949. King graduated in 1948.
After law school George Haley, who earlier joined the military, headed to Kansas City, Kansas to work for the law firm of Stevens Jackson, which provided assistance in the Brown V. Board of Education case that was playing out in Topeka, the state capitol. As a young black lawyer then, Haley viewed the 1954 Brown decision as a giant step to affirm the dignity of black children in America. It was on the mind of many young black lawyers who were growing up during the throes of the Civil Rights Movement. He saw the national battle against school segregation that took place in Topeka, and successfully argued before the U.S. Supreme Court by former NAACP lawyer and civil rights giant Thurgood Marshall (who himself later became the first black Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court), as an important chapter in the struggle to guarantee black children a right to education in this nation.
Before he died in 2015 at 89, Haley, who served under seven American presidents since 1969, and I had many conversations in the basement of his Silver Spring home in Maryland. I would normally ask him to reflect on his life and the lessons learned regarding issues that are important to the black experience. I once even asked him to respond to what Malcolm X said about him in "The Autobiography of Malcolm X: As Told to Alex Haley," that it was because of street fighters like Malcolm that enabled Haley to become one of the first black state senators in Kansas. Haley would always bring up two things: the role his mentor Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays, the former president of Morehouse College played in his life, and the impact the Brown decision will have on blacks for generations to come.
To Haley and many who belonged to his generation, that monumental desegregation fight championed by Thurgood Marshall in defense of the humanity and education of black children, served as an impetus to the Civil Rights Movement. Today, it underscores the need to continue to push for serious reforms in educational systems that represent deep structural inequities. Since the historic Supreme Court ruling, the spirit of the Brown decision has guided every educational battle for racial justice to ensure that black children are not the recipients of inferior and under-resourced education.
Nowhere in the country right now exemplifies the spirit of the Brown decision, and the need to continue to demand quality education in predominantly poor black districts in the nation than Detroit, where the recent U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling, affirmed that Detroit kids have a right to literacy. That it is a fundamental right protected by the Constitution. The ruling in favor of poor black kids, is in response to a lawsuit that was filed in 2016 against the state under former Republican Gov. Rick Snyder by some Detroit students claiming that their district has been the product of years of disinvestment by the state. The verdict by the second highest court in the land is a moral indictment of Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who continued to fight the lawsuit after she became governor, which sharply contradicted her "education governor," mantra.
That Gretchen Whitmer, a white liberal governor of the modern era, will stand in direct contravention to the educational aspirations of black children in Detroit, which the right to literacy lawsuit represented, is not only disgraceful but abhorrent. If she understands the weight of history bearing on her action, Gov. Whitmer, will settle the case right away, and not head to the U.S. Supreme Court to appeal the decision. She should do so immediately and with "all deliberate speed," harkening the watershed decision in Brown v. Board of Education. The more she refuses to speak publicly about the issue to say what her next move will be regarding the ruling, the more children in Detroit, the largest black city in the nation, continue to wait in vain for something that they should be deserving of like all other children.
Whitmer's stance against the right to literacy case is a complete betrayal of the spirit of the historic Brown decision. To move her toward a settlement, it will also require a conscientious apparatus of the black community to make it clear to Gov. Whitmer that her position is unacceptable, and that the future of black kids cannot be held hostage by her current indecision on the ruling. Blacks in Detroit, Benton Harbor, Flint and across the state, must see the appeal court ruling as a significant gateway to rightfully demand that the state takes responsibility for its failures in Detroit, and make the needed investments to help unleash the potentials of black children and prepare them for a better and productive future.
The governor should be reminded whenever she comes to Detroit, that she does not only need to settle the lawsuit, but that she also must publicly apologize to the underserved Detroit children for continuing to fight against their case. This is going to require political will to speak truth to power to the governor, in a way that leaves her no choice, but to meet the demands of children whose education have long been mortgaged on the altar of political expediency.
Even Thurgood Marshall after winning the Brown case, and later became an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, noted that the fight for equality was not over. That blacks must continue to pressure their elected officials to deliver on the promise of equality and justice, just as the pressure is on Whitmer now to right the wrongs of history in Detroit, which she vowed to do during her 2018 gubernatorial campaign.
Marshall echoed that message on accountability in 1978, when he went to his alma mater, Howard University Law School, to speak at the installation of Wiley Branton as the new dean of the law school. Branton, was among the students who helped integrate the University of Arkansas Law School alongside George Haley.
"Be aware of that myth, that everything is going to be all right. Don't give in. I add that, because it seems to me, that what we need to do today is to refocus. Back in the 30's and 40's, we could go no place but to court. We knew then, the court was not the final solution. Many of us knew the final solution would have to be politics, if for no other reason, politics is cheaper than lawsuits," Marshall said. "So now we have both. We have our legal arm, and we have our political arm. Let's use them both. And don't listen to this myth that it can be solved by either or that it has already been solved. Take it from me, it has not been solved."
The salient advice Marshall gave at Howard University Law School, is relevant today in light of the fact that Gov. Whitmer has yet to fully address the ruling publicly. Still, the question about the education of black students in Detroit remain one of the most important features in the struggle for racial equality in Michigan. The fact that the governor so far has chosen to only make reference to the ruling in the media through her African American spokeswoman Tiffany Brown, instead of herself speaking directly to the consequences of the historic verdict about educational inequality, shows the lack of deference on an issue significant to black life, which continues to haunt our nation's quest for equality.
It could be argued that the entire black experience rest on the ruling from the appeal court. Because how can blacks be expected to participate fully in this democratic experience, if black children, who are the future of black communities continue to receive sub-standard education? Why should we allow white liberal powerbrokers like Gov. Whitmer to continue to ignore solutions to that challenge of inequality, and at the same time pretend as if they are empathetic to our concerns?
Gov. Whitmer's unconscionable opposition to the right to literacy case must be seen through the lens of the epic battles waged for blacks to have access to education by the late Damon J. Keith, former senior judge of the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, former Howard University Law Dean Charles Hamilton Houston, who was one of the key architects in dismantling Jim Crow era laws and others. They played a crucial role in forcing America to be fair to a race of people who were brought here against their will as slaves since 1619.
George Haley reminded me long ago that we must continue to narrate that painful experience and tear down the walls of racial injustice. Derrick Bell, the first black tenured professor at Harvard University Law School, warned us in his eloquent and didactic writings that white liberals could be guilty of paying lip service to the genuine push for equality for black people.
As Gov. Gretchen Whitmer becomes the latest example of a lip service white liberal politician, we must not rest in demanding that she settles the case as soon as possible. The legacies of Keith, Marshall, Houston and the rest of the gallant soldiers of history who fought racism in our educational system demand that we refuse the governor's silence. She must act now.
