Revelation 4
The Voice
4 After I wrote down these messages, I saw a door standing open in heaven and heard again the first voice that sounded like a trumpet.
A Voice: Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.
John's next vision begins when he sees an open door in heaven. What happens next would be impossible for John to imagine.
2 Immediately I was caught up in the Spirit, and I saw a throne that stood in heaven and One seated on the throne. 3 The One enthroned gleamed like jasper and carnelian, and a rainbow encircled the throne with an emerald glow. 4 Encircling that great throne were twenty-four smaller thrones with twenty-four elders clothed in white robes with wreaths fashioned of gold on their heads. 5 Out of the great throne came flashes of lightning, sounds of voices, and peals of thunder. In front of the great throne, seven torches were ablaze, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6 Also in front of the throne was a glassy sea of shimmering crystal.
In the midst of the throne and encircling the throne were four living creatures, covered all over with eyes, front to back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second creature was like an ox, the third creature had a face like the face of a human, and the fourth creature was like an eagle in full flight. 8 These four living creatures, each of which had six wings and was covered with eyes—eyes on the outside and on the inside—did not cease chanting. All day and night they were singing.
Four Living Creatures: Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God who is the All Powerful,
who was, and who is, and who is coming.
9 And when the living creatures declared glory and honor and thanksgiving to the One seated on the throne, the One who lives throughout all the ages, 10 the twenty-four elders fell prostrate before the One seated on the throne, worshiped the One who lives throughout all the ages, cast their golden wreaths before the throne, and chanted to Him.
11 24 Elders: Worthy are You, O Lord; worthy are You, O God,
to receive glory and honor and power.
You alone created all things,
and through Your will and by Your design, they exist and were created.

It won't, can't be the same, but will it be the same? It's hard to imagine Aldeburgh Poetry Festival without the sea. The year before last, I arrived late on the Friday afternoon. There was a thick sea-mist which blotted out any noise from the town and allowed only the waves' east-coast roar. A band of foam disappeared into the mist – a poet from another planet might have thought it was our source of light. Spaced along the shingle beach were fishermen in their fortune-teller tents, each looming up as the last one vanished. Their long high lines were a beheading hazard in the fog.
Aldeburgh has moved up the river to Snape. We won't be listening to poetry with the sea a few yards away, or moving from one event to the next via the sea-front, going for a long walk on the beach or wandering up the high street. Snape will be a very different environment, with everything happening on one compound; a shuttle bus will connect Snape and Aldeburgh. Snape does have the river, the Alde, much narrowed from its wide estuary just south of Aldeburgh. There are reeds and marshes, and waders (birds! must take binoculars). I'm looking forward to exploring the paths along the river – those that exist; at least one looks on the map to be high-tide-only, if not wholly fictional. Perhaps marooned poets, or worse, will become an Aldeburgh feature. It's 2 miles' walk to the magical church at Iken, on the edge of the mudflats past Troublesome Reach.
I expect the venues will be lovely, though rather more formal than Aldeburgh, and larger. They will be accessible, an excellent feature that's still a rarity for poetry events.

Might it all feel a bit corporate? We'll have to try to prevent that…
As for the programme – this year I'm looking forward most to what I know least about: Korean poetry and poet Ko Un, who is reading on the Sunday afternoon. At Aldeburgh/Snape he'll be interviewed, and his translator, Brother Anthony of Taizé, will give a talk on Korean poetry. Ko Un lived through the Korean War; he has been in prison a lot (in South Korea). A biography and some poems can be read at Korean Literature Today. This is the end of 'Sunlight', in which a ray of sun visits the prisoner's north-facing cell.
This military prison special cell
is a photographer's darkroom.
Without any sunlight I laughed like a fool.
One day it was a coffin holding a corpse.
One day it was altogether the sea.
A wonderful thing!
A few people survive here.
Being alive is a sea
without a single sail in sight.
Other interesting visitors from abroad include South African Ingrid de Kok, Palestinian Ghassan Zaqtan and Palestinian-American Fady Joudah.
The programme's structured much as ever, which is good. The short events – the craft talks, short takes and close readings – are as enjoyable as the set pieces, or more… though nothing can beat the atmosphere of a packed-out Aldeburgh main reading, on the Saturday night or Sunday afternoon. May it remain that way.

For some reason or another I had never gotten around to watching, in its entirety, the British World War Two drama The Cruel Sea until just recently. I read the novel by Nicholas Monsarrat on which the picture is based when I was a boy, but the movie itself seemed to somehow slip by me. It came as a pleasant surprise, therefore, to find that the film has not dated at all in 60 or so years since its creation. The only sign of age is the obvious use of model ships for the torpedoing scenes. Back in the fifties the age-old problem of making tank water look like the ocean had not yet been solved.
The British have always been masters at producing first class movies about naval issues during World War Two. Features such as In Which We Serve (1942), We Dive at Dawn (1943), The Sea Shall Not Have Them (1944), The Battle of the River Plate (1956) and the terrific The Man Who Never Was are just some of them. The Cruel Sea is up there with the best of them. Whereas American war films tended to stress patriotism, flag-waving and individual heroism, the Brits underplayed the role of the individual, focusing instead upon quiet national stoicism and steady resolve.
Donald Sinden and Jack Hawkins in The Cruel Sea (1953)
A lot of historians have suggested that, had British pictures been included in the Academy Awards at that time, Jack Hawkins and Donald Sinden might well have been Oscar-nominated for their performances. I concur, especially regarding Hawkins' superb portrayal of the commander of the Compass Rose and the Saltash Castle. Indeed, the entire cast were extremely good and the script, too, was of the highest quality, but Hawkins clearly stood out.
Hawkins as Commander Ericson as General Allenby in Lawrence of Arabia (1962)
Of the principal players only Virginia McKenna is still with us. Hawkins was 42 years old when this picture made him a star. By 1954 he was Britain's number one male box-office drawcard. Formerly married to future Oscar-winner Jessica Tandy (she won for Driving Miss Daisy in 1990), his habit of smoking 60 cigarettes a day contributed to him being diagnosed with throat cancer in late 1965. Within eight years he was gone at 63.
Sinden as Lieutenant Lockhart with Grace Kelly in Mogambo (1953)
Donald Sinden would also succumb to cancer, but not until his 90th year in 2014. His biggest profile film would have to be Mogambo in 1953, in which he portrayed Grace Kelly's husband. To be precise, he was Grace's husband wherever the picture was shown – except in Spain. Spanish authorities would not permit adultery to be depicted on-screen, so his character was changed and he became Grace's character's brother, thus enabling her to dally with Clark Gable's character without committing adultery in the process. Unfortunately, the Spanish decision overlooked a scene in the picture in which Donald and Grace are seen in bed together, so in effect they substituted incest for adultery!
Denholm Elliot as Lieutenant Morell as Marcus Brody in Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Denholm Elliot played Morell, one of the ships' officers in The Cruel Sea. Modern day fans will know him as Marcus Brody in the Indiana Jones pictures. He actually married Virginia McKenna a few months after they appeared together in this picture, although in the movie she plays Donald Sinden's character's girlfriend, not Elliot's. Diagnosed with AIDS in 1988, Elliot died from the disease in 1992 at the age of 70. Some sources tried to claim he had acquired the AIDS virus from a blood transfusion, but his second wife quickly scotched that rumour in her book Denholm Elliot: Quest for Love, published two years after his death. In it she revealed their open marriage and her husband's bisexuality. He had taken scores of male lovers over his lifetime and had contracted AIDS in the process.
Stanley Baker as Lieutenant Bennett as Lieutenant Chard in Zulu (1964)
Stanley Baker died young. He was just 48 when lung cancer and pneumonia combined to end his life in Andalusia, Spain in 1976. He was awarded a knighthood in PM Harold Wilson's resignation Honours List in June 1976. Baker thought he had beaten the cancer with surgery in February of that year, but it spread to his chest and attached to his heart and he was given just nine weeks to live. Consequently, he was unable to travel to Buckingham Palace for the knighthood ceremony and never actually became Sir Stanley Baker. His widow, however, is allowed to call herself Lady Baker. He will forever be remembered for his portrayal of Lt. Chard in the epic 1964 classic Zulu.
Virginia McKenna and Sinden Denholm & Virginia wedding day 1954 with husband Bill Travers in Born Free (1966)
The lovely Virginia McKenna is now 86 years old. Her highly impressive list of screen credits include A Town Like Alice (1956) opposite Peter Finch, Carve Her Name With Pride (1958) opposite Paul Scofield and Born Free (1966) opposite her then husband Bill Travers. Despite a string of great performances it was the lightweight Born Free that made her a household name. Her first marriage (to Denholm Elliot) ended after two years because of his affairs with men. They had first met on the set of The Cruel Sea. 'He was a fine actor and a delightful person', she said later, 'but I suppose I have to admit that, for both of us, our marriage was a mistake. I knew in my heart it wouldn't work. So I had to leave.'
Moira Lister in The Cruel Sea as a blonde serial killer Neville Heath
South African actress Moira Lister enjoyed a popular career in movies and on stage without ever hitting the heights of movie stardom. In The Cruel Sea she played Mrs. Morell, the cheating wife of Denholm Elliot's character. In the 1940s, when at the height of her beauty, she dated a man who walked her home at the end of their evening together and even kissed her goodnight. His name was Neville Heath and a week earlier he had murdered a woman after just such an outing. After dating Moira he brutally murdered another unfortunate woman who had condescended to go out with him. Heath was eventually caught and hanged in 1946. Moira always maintained that her blonde hair saved her life because his victims were brunettes. At 84 she passed away at home in Cape Town in 2007.
June Thorburn in The Cruel Sea and in Tom Thumb (1958)
June Thorburn was born in 1931, in Karachi, when it was still part of India. Her father was a colonel in the Indian Army. At seven years of age she entered a skiing competition for women in the Himalayas and won, only to be disqualified because she was a child. As a schoolgirl June was quite a handful, a tomboy who attended no fewer than thirteen different schools and was expelled from ten of them! She landed the female lead in the 1958 fantasy Tom Thumb opposite Alan Young with Russ Tamblyn in the title role. On November 4, 1967, five months pregnant with her third child and accompanied by her second, she was aboard Iberia Airlines Flight 062 when it crashed at Blackdown, Sussex, killing all 37 persons on board. She was just 36.

There is no better feeling
Hearing your email beep then you look down at your phone and it starts with;
"Your photos are absolutely stunning"
"Your work is amazing" & "I love your style."
I mean, come on!!! Who doesn't want a job with recognition like this!
I would love to start my story with things like I've been photographing since before I could walk, I was born with a camera, but I'd be lying. The truth is I didn't pick up my first DSLR till 2011, which is even scarier again as I was booked for my first wedding shoot in 2012! I knew instantly this was what I wanted to do! The chance to use my imagination to create stunning images then using different technology and programs in post production to create one-off pieces of artwork! Not to mention the lure of the emotions and the joy every wedding day brings.
If you're curious about my job before this, you will get a big shock when I tell you I was a welder!! Yes, worlds apart! I always knew I wanted to be my own boss, but I wouldn't change my past. My apprenticeship helped shape me, especially since before it I couldn't even ring for a taxi or take away because I was so nervous and shy! There were lots of very late nights and very early starts to get to where I am now!!! (A few hours kip is not recommended!)
I believe the beauty and documentation I can create with my camera and post processing is an extension of my personality. This is a great channel for me to express, capture and share special moments normally missed , and for my inner child's creativity to come to life.
Speaking of children, let's move on to family life! If you follow me on any social media, you will have already seen a picture of Nancy! If not, as soon as you finish reading this, head straight to her blog by following the link HERE!
I'm sure, as all parents are, she is definitely one of a kind and brings so much joy and happiness into our lives! She is the perfect subject to document and without doubt, she will be following in my footsteps and come along to a wedding with me in no time at all. Now let's not forget… My better half, my childhood sweetheart 😉 I've been with Katie since the age of 15!! Yep and I'm now almost 30 at the time of writing. My best friend became my wife in 2012 and, like most of you looking on my website thinking about your won wedding day, it really was one of the best days of my life! She is an absolute gem!
That's some major brownie points in the bag if she ever reads this page!
I'll stop there as I'm sure you didn't come here to read about my sappy feelings for my wife!
I have failed to mention one more love in my life….
Cycling, yes I'm a Lycra-wearing, cake eating, coffee drinking, road hogger!!
I have also had the privilege to ride with past grooms I worked with, so if any future grooms, or brides, would ever like to join me, the more the merrier 🙂
Anyway, that's enough about me! Let's grab that coffee and let me hear about you and your day! I've also got some sample awesome albums I'd love to show you

Low turnout at lavish Venezuela summit
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro touted the latest meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), a large Cold War-era bloc, as one that would be remembered for centuries to come.
The cash-strapped state reportedly spent more than $120 million (107 million euros) in preparation for the summit, despite much of the country suffering from major food shortages and inflation soaring into the triple digits.
However, the meetings have been marred by demonstrations and a very low turnout of foreign dignitaries.
The previous summit held in Iran in 2012 was attended by 35 heads of state from the 120-nation bloc. However, only eight heads of state confirmed their attendance for this year's summit on the island of Margarita.
Among the leaders that did attend were Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe, Iran's Hassan Rouhani and Palestine's Mahmoud Abbas. Heads of state from Venezuela's regional allies Cuba, Ecuador and Bolivia also attended the summit.
One notable absentee was Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This is only the second time in 55 years that the country's head of state has missed the summit.
Ahead of the event, work crews repainted roads and stocked shelves on the island, while 14,000 security personnel were hired to beef up security. Yet despite the efforts, delegates complained about a lack of organization, delays and shabby hotels, according to Reuters.
Opposition leader Henrique Capriles jumped on the low attendance figures, pointing out that it signaled Maduro's increasing isolation. "Millions of dollars of Venezuelans' money spent for the government's ego," he said. "Many of the countries didn't come to the show!"
Maduro's opponents are pushing for a recall referendum to oust Maduro from office before his term ends in 2019.
Popularity hanging by a thread
Two weeks ago, Maduro experienced one of the most humiliating episodes of his three-year presidency on Margarita Island.
Planning to walk through crowds of supporters, Maduro was instead chased by scores of protesters banging pots and pans. A video of the protest went viral, but the journalist who filmed and posted it has since been arrested.
Speaking anonymously, residents said anger directed at Maduro is running increasingly deep. The government spent lavishly ahead of the summit despite a hard-hitting economic crisis. Rationing means most of the population is forced to skip meals.
Margarita serves as a parable for Venezuela's economic and social problems. The island was once a popular luxury tourist destination for visitors from around world. Today it suffers from many of the same problems affecting the rest of Venezuela: basic food shortages, long lines outside of shops and violent crime.

Target Readers: Beginner – Intermediate Property Investors; Middle Income Group.
2015 has been a really tough year for property market in Malaysia after the introduction of GST in April, to make the matter worse, our economy was also haunted by 1MDB scandal, falling of oil price and weak Ringgit value! By asking around property agents, developers and well-known property gurus, nobody has any positive prediction on the property market in 2016.
The consensus reached within the property industry is the prices of properties will fall and discounts will be given by developers to lure home buyers. It's also common expectation that more property investors and speculators will be dormant or at least less active in the coming quarters in 2016. The heat wave of BBB mode (buy x3) has been dimmed by cold water and many people start to realize it's time to get back to work.
In 2015, there were many 'expert' predictions that after the implementation of GST, the property prices will shoot up. But in reality, this has not happened and we don't see it's happening soon.
Before I share my Tips of Property Investment in 2016, I have to bring to your attention (especially for new investor) that investing in property is Risky if you are not doing your homework and buy property based on emotion and guess work. Buying a property is the biggest spending of people in a lifetime. It's one of the biggest decisions in our lifetime besides choosing our husband or wife, don't you think?
So here's my No-nonsense Property Investment Tips for 2016:
Beware of flipping
Flipping is not a good property investment strategy for 2016 simply because you might be competing with unsold units by the developers. This is applicable especially for the high density condominium development. If even the developers are struggling to sell all their units, just imagine what kind of obstacles you are running into to successfully find a buyer. Developers can offer the original price with lots of goodies and perhaps even with negotiable discounts.
Flipping could be working for some good landed property project with very limited units or even better that there is no more available unit from the developer. So you have to do your homework properly and if you find that not many buyers are queuing up at the launching, then the project may not be suitable for flipping.
Other factors including the quality of the property and whether it can arouse the desire from the buyers to willingly buy from you. If you are hoping to flip landed houses which cost over 1 million, most probably you will expect to wait for months if not years to make the deal.
Buy a quality property
There is no good tenants in this world. Period. Tenants come and go, even the best tenant you are having now could be leaving your house after the contract ends and you will need to pay agent to find new one. My advice to you is don't buy properties by hoping that you will get positive passive income from it by relying fully on tenants only. Buying a quality property is more important to cut down the property investment risks because you know that the property is still marketable even during the bad times.
Always buy a property which you can afford the repayment even there is no tenant in it for at least 6 months. There are few tips and indicators I can give you to judge whether the property is a reasonably good buy or you have bought the right property:
1) The units are almost sold out by the developers.
2) The track record of the developer is very good.
3) Your property agent or developer tell you that your unit can be easily rented out in 1 to 2 months. (Don't trust fully, but at least they are telling you that)
4) Your property occupancy rate is high with 85-95% or to some extent you are confident that it will be within 1 year after handover by developer.
5) Your property agents tell you that they can find potential buyers for your property within reasonable time frame (i.e. 3,6 or 12 months) and there are at least 1 quality viewing by potential buyer per month.
6) The location of your property is good with amenities, highways, public transport system, mature business activities, banks, schools, shop lots, restaurants, famous shopping malls and hypermarkets are within short driving distance from your property.
If you can get all positive answers from the above indicators, then congratulation! Your risks in property investment is lower, but not zero. Investing in property is still risky especially if the location is far away from town and with not enough amenities. For example, many investors were caught up by buying houses in Nilai, Rawang and Port Dickson many years ago and ended up in failure because the houses are not marketable due to bad locations. Occupancy rate is also the most important factor to determine whether you can easily rent out or sell the unit. Well, sometime you will need some luck too, but that's not the topic here.
Sustainable income source
Yes, many property investors have successfully earned their big fortunes if they purchased their properties (i.e. landed house) in year 2007 – 2012. The success stories of the property investors are overwhelming during that great times for property market, but moving into 2016, even the property gurus have woken up and advised to the public that 2016 will be the 'worst year for property'.
I am not saying that property investment is no longer viable from now onward. I am just suggesting to my readers that to go back to the basics of life and find other sustainable income source which is valuable for your personal career growth or even for the good development of our country. There is no free lunch in this world, so for working class, continue to upgrade yourself with knowledge and skill is important for you to secure a good income source. For business owner or entrepreneurs, focus on innovations and quality products and services are your only path to pursue.
By focusing on earning good and righteous money from other productive sources, you will gain the true financial freedom to buy whatever dream houses you want and set yourself free from any economy crisis or property bubble. So my advice is, don't dream anymore that you don't have to work to make good money with just property investment only! Starting in 2016.
Buying a good property for long term investment plan is still a satisfying and correct thing to do. To do that, you need to know your own risk tolerance level (or most of you don't know yet but will get the lesson learned soon). So my advice is really you need to be careful making any decision on property purchase, especially for new investors. To cut down the risk, you may consider share the risk with a partner whom you can really trust. Sharing the risk will mean less commitment but also less reward.
In 2016, should all of us stop exploring good property investment chance? Probably no, because when the market is down, we will be entering the 'buyer market' and you will get the bargaining power back to get the best price from seller or developer. Equip yourself with right attitude, think long term, shop carefully for a quality property and most importantly assess your risk tolerance level and financial capability, buying a property for investment in 2016 is still a possible thing to do.

Divco – Lisa's Dolcella Gelato
The Divco has been one of the more unique restoration jobs that we have done here at Radical Rods Rides & Restoration. The Divco was brought to us by a lady named Lisa who had been searching for a vintage truck for a full year before she found her 1965 Divco at an auction in Florida. Lisa's goal was to turn her Divco into a great promotional truck that would turn heads so she could sell her tasty gelato ice cream. Once the Divco reached our shop, it underwent several modifications, including the removal of several tonnes of steel from the walls, ceiling and back door. We rebuilt the frame rails, lowered the floors (custom fabrication), cut the service window out, added lighting, overhauled the wiring and completed a full restoration both inside and out.
The mechanical was a story for another day. Although the power train (motor-small block chevy) and steering had all been updated, it wasn't exactly put together properly – a huge understatement! All in all, we had a great time taking everything apart and putting it back together again. You can check out some of the photos in our gallery of the work that was done on this vintage truck:
A little history about the Divco. Divco is an acronym for for Detroit Industrial Vehicles Company and they were used as delivery trucks throughout North America beginning in 1926. The Divco was the first "walk in" delivery truck and they maintained a similar look from their inception in 1926 all the way until 1986 when production ceased. While primarily used as milk delivery trucks in their early days, nothing beats the fresh Gelato that Lisa delivers with her Divco. Look for Lisa's truck at the Pan Am games this summer, at the local Farmers Market here in Barrie and at our corporate events at the Radical Automotive Group. If you are looking to book Lisa's Divco for an event, you an contact Lisa at the email address or phone number below:

I thought about it randomly one day while rewatching that scene in BN when ron starts to scream and panic about "the end".
I´m talking about those times where Ron panics about things that got nothing to do with the missions.
Let´s review: (note: if you notice that I miss some major event please correct me)
The firs't time (that I remember) when Ron panics for a "serious reason", that doesn´t involve the ovbious dangers of the missions they go to on the regular basis, to me it´s when Kim meets Monique: Ron its jealous about this, he thinks that Kim will finally choose monique and stop being in touch with him.
I´ve got to say he had his reasons to do that and to be like that, he said he experienced the lost of a friend before, and, apart from Kim and Wade, he only has rufus left.
ASIT: well, here the reason justifies itself, who wouldn´t panic if that happened to you?
Emotion sickness: that situation whould made anyone I know, a nutter for the rest of his life, that strange mood changes, no wonder he freaks out there.
STD: similar to the episode of "pain king and cleopatra" but with a boyfriend, a serious boyfiend.
Car alarm: a pretty good jelling part, but at least he doesn´t make a scene.
I think ron never saw Joss Mankey as a big problem for their relationship, he never complained too much about that.
As far as I can remember the rest of Ron freak out times where not important or they where justificated by the danger of the missions.
Now, the big issue, Graduation, he makes one of the biggest scenes ever, just because they are going to college??
Yeah sure, they had the distance and all that, but hey, he has the cutest girfliend he could ever dream about, and she will never leave him, he has badical cooking issues, he is a born seller in smarty mart, so even if he doesn´t go to college he is still golden, what I saw in that scene is the biggest overreacting episode Ron has ever gone through.
what do you think?

How do I connect to the Pleiades IRC channel?
If you already have an IRC client installed and configured on your machine, you may be able to "join" the Pleiades channel (a public, group chat room) by clicking on this link: irc://irc.freenode.net:6667/pleiades. If not, read on:
What is Internet Relay Chat?
To quote the Wikipedia article:
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a protocol for real-time Internet text messaging (chat) or synchronous conferencing. It is mainly designed for group communication in discussion forums, called channels, but also allows one-to-one communication via private message as well as chat and data transfer, including file sharing.
What software do I need?
IRC depends on a network of servers (the freenode organization runs the IRC network we use), but it also requires a piece of software on your computer (a "client" program) in order to connect you to the network.
The easiest way for an occasional user of IRC to connect to a channel on the freenode network is to use any modern web browser to connect to freenode's free webchat site: http://webchat.freenode.net/. This eliminates the need to install and configure client software on your computer, and also gets you around security restrictions at some institutions that block IRC traffic.
If you would rather install client software on your computer, you might try one of the following programs. We make no representation regarding their fitness for your purposes, but all of them have been used by other members of the Pleiades community:
- Chatzilla: "a clean, easy to use and highly extensible IRC client;" an add-on to the Firefox web browser
- HexChat: "based on XChat, but ... completely free for both Windows and Unix-like systems"
- Irssi: "a terminal-based IRC client for UNIX systems"
- mIRC: "a full featured Internet Relay Chat client for Windows"
- Nettalk: "a powerful but easy to use free (open source) IRC-client for Windows"
- Textual: "IRC client for Mac OSX"
- Yaaic: "Yet Another Android IRC Client" (for use on Android smart phones)
What's the necessary configuration information for my software client?
- network: freenode
- server: irc.freenode.net
- port: 6667
- channel: #pleiades (you may need to leave off the hash/pound-sign in some clients)
- You'll also have to pick a "nickname" for yourself. If you want to make sure no-one else used the same nickname to impersonate you (either accidentally or on purpose), you can register your nickname with freenode, but this is not a prerequisite to connecting to the network and joining a channel.

Predicting the future has proven to be a futile endeavor time and again. However, sometimes there are larger, connected developments that allow us to anticipate events. For example, take the end of the internet bubble or that of the recent housing excesses. Most of us just knew that it wouldn't last forever. Smart grid cyber-security may well fall into the same bucket. Signs of challenges and issues are mounting at the moment. The recent and highly public discussion of Stuxnet is simply the most visible indicator of this development.
In this light, we have certainly seen some commotion within the industry. If you allow the density and popularity of conferences as a lead indicator for smart grid cyber-security concerns, then there truly is a sustained interest in the topic. Recently, there have been two notable events: the popular Smart Grid Cyber Security conference in San Jose and the very interesting Applied Control Solutions Control System Cyber Security conference in Washington, D.C. Both offered a surprisingly nuanced take on the issue with their quality of speakers, breadth of topics, depth of knowledge and the ease with which insights were shared. Our impression was that participants and speakers agreed on the mounting evidence for smart grid cyber-security challenges. What became clear at both events is that securing backend systems and their communication capabilities does not suffice.
Take the intrusion of smart meters, for example. Scott Borg, head of the U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit, stated that it is feasible to attack large numbers of smart meters, which implies that any false sense of security derived from the fact that the large systems seem safe is very dangerous. Most surprising, Borg mentioned the possibility that hackers could commit arson after breaking into smart meters, e.g., by cycling relays until they burn. Although fires would start in only a tiny percentage of cases, he said, the scale possible with cyber-attacks makes such scenarios a real worry. He also discussed the economic consequences of a cyber-attack by explaining that supply chain resilience breaks down after about three and a half days, which means that power outages beyond that point can potentially turn into a threat to national security.
A similar message came from Matt Carpenter at InGuardians, who stated that organized crime and nation-states take monetary and incendiary interest in power grid control systems. Prompted for what he sees as the biggest challenge today, he pointed to possible difficulties in communication between utilities and technology vendors, which can lead to security vulnerabilities. Carpenter made it clear that AES-128 implementations alone will not secure the overall system. He also stressed that smart grid security and IT security are not one and the same because of very different tolerance levels: rebooting a PC is easy compared to rebooting a network of devices in the transmission or distribution grid. Most important, IT and smart grid security will have to work hand-in-hand to achieve acceptable levels of security.
This point was further supported by Joe Weiss, a well-known author and leading industry expert, who stated that many of the existing devices in ICS (SCADA/control system) networks are unsecured today and thus subject to vulnerabilities. Weiss emphasized that 70% of ICS network devices still use serial ports, which are highly susceptible to cyber-attacks. In his view, one of the key requirements for any security solution is that it cannot interfere with system performance. In our opinion, this point, which many participants reiterated, necessitates the development of small, highly efficient security solutions in terms of the cipher, authentication protocol and key management solution.
A related issue came up during a panel discussion with several smart meter vendors at the San Jose event. All agreed that smart grid security features will need to consider power as a key requirement. The power efficiency of a security solution matters greatly to consumers and utility clients, and thus to meter manufacturers. This could well become a competitive advantage for those vendors that move into energy-efficient security solutions quickly. It was very reassuring to hear that most vendors quietly collaborate with one another to seek and deploy tighter security features. This is certainly the wrong field to compete against one another, for obvious reasons.
Some additional, highly interesting findings included the fact that there have been roughly 2,600 cases where SCADA manuals and tutorials have been found in the hacker community in the last year alone. That is an alarming figure, as threats to industrial control systems might well rise once Stuxnet has been analyzed and fully understood. According to unconfirmed sources, one of the highest priorities within cyber-security at the Department of Homeland Security is the current and imminent threat to U.S. infrastructure. Somewhat surprisingly, we have also heard about vulnerabilities in vehicles, which seems reasonable from the perspective that automobiles are becoming increasingly connected and are not sufficiently secured against cyber-attackers.
Within these recent conferences there has been a predominant focus on the problem rather than the solution. This is understandable since solutions are a lot harder to come by today than problems. In our assessment, cyber-security solutions for the smart grid and ICS will follow once the discussion of threats and vulnerabilities is led in an open and collaborative way. Hopefully, it won't be long before we see more solutions than issues at highly relevant events such as these.

Hyper-V + Opteron 6100 + RHEL5 = Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
Submitted by John on Tue, 2010-08-31 11:17
I'm trying out Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2. My first attempt is to create a VM running Red Hat 5.5. This is what I get after the initial screen:
The VM has 2GB of memory which should be plenty (I upped it to 4GB and got the same result). I get a slightly different message when using 32-bit instead of 64-bit:
I'm using a legacy virtual network adapter as the documentation suggests. Hints are welcome. This is on a Dell PowerEdge R815 with two AMD Opteron 6100's and 40GB of RAM.

The Faber story – and with it the story of the kitchen hood – began a long time ago in a small workshop.
Quite a few years have passed since then. Decades in fact, during which we have concentrated on improving the design, functionality and quality of our hoods. And it looks as if we have done a good job, because today we are one of the world's top hood manufacturers. Faber was the first company ever to make kitchen hoods, and we still are the number one today, in quality and quantity.
In Italy one out of every two hoods is a Faber hood.

Formula R1 disc brake (basic) review
Top power-to-weight ratioGBP £219.00 RRP | USD $326.95 Skip to view deals
Latest deals
Formula already had the title of 'lightest production disc brake' in the bag, and the same model happened to be one of the most powerful, too – plenty of downhillers used the XC-weight system to stop their 40lb-plus sleds from huge speeds. Pretty impressive.
But if there was a complaint it was the adjustability of the R1, which was a delicate fiddle with tiny Allen keys. Formula listened to rider feedback and this year brought out a range of upgrades – they can be retrofitted to existing R1 brakes or specified on new models with an upcharge.
The first upgrades is FCS – the Feeling Control System, a pad contact-point tweaker. This anodised barrel adjuster fits inline between the hose and the lever body, allowing you to tune the lever's dead sweep (£37 per brake).
Next up is TFRA – Tool Free Reach Adjust. As you'd imagine, it removes the need for the 2mm Allen key when adjusting the levers' distance from the bars. With the old Allen head being tucked away where few multitool bits could reach, this is a feature we like a lot (£27 a pair).
The Mixmaster SRAM upgrade integrates R1 with SRAM trigger shifters on a neat single clamp (£27 a pair). Also well worth remembering if you're looking to spec a dream set of R1s is the new Speedlock feature, a dry-break, drip-free coupling that allows the hose of a bled R1 brake to be undone without causing any issues.
Thread the hose through a new, internally routed frame, clip the junction back together and you're good to go with perfect brakes and no need for a re-bleed – fantastic (price to be confirmed).
True, each extra function adds a few grams, but when you've weight to spare we think these added details are worth it.

Final exams for this semester are well on their way, and for many students, their biggest study aid is music. Music seems to help boost productivity and help you learn new topics, both of which can be helpful for students when trying to prepare for their exams.
One of the newest competitors in the music streaming scene, YouTube Music, aims to take down Spotify with its sleek interface and partnership with Eventbrite to bring new life to live music events.
YouTube Music is making the next big move in the world of streaming services: offering a discounted student plan, right on schedule for finals.
For eligible students, YouTube Music is now $4.99 per month instead of $9.99 per month, and YouTube Premium, which includes YouTube's premium video streaming service, is now $6.99 per month instead of $11.99 per month.
YouTube Music allows for listening without advertisements as well as offline downloads and background listening, being able to navigate away from the YouTube app and site while continuing to play music.
The new student plan is a direct competitor to both Spotify and Apple Music, who have offered half price plans targeting students since 2016.
For any student on a budget (basically all students), there are also plenty of cost-saving essentials you have to have, including the Jukely student plan available on the app (iOS / Android).

A third bridge spanning Istanbul's Bosphorus waterway opened Friday with a ceremony attended by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Binali Yildirim.
"We are connecting continents," Erdogan said. "We are celebrating together and we are very proud of it. The nation deserves this. With God's permission, this nation will get what it deserves.This is great day and joyful day."
The Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge was described as a new necklace for the city by Yildirim.
"It will not only serve to Istanbul but also serve to every journey in the historic Silk Road, starting from the Far East, ending in Europe and bringing civilizations together by connecting people," he told a crowd of dignitaries.
The bridge, which cost nearly $3 billion to construct, is the latest in a raft of infrastructure "mega-projects" unveiled by the government.
The 1.4 kilometer (0.9 mile) bridge will carry eight lanes of traffic and two rail lines between Europe and Asia at the entrance of the Bosphorus to the Black Sea.
Named after Selim I, the 16th-century sultan known for his expansion of the Ottoman empire, the bridge accompanies the July 15 Matryrs' Bridge -- previously the Bosphorus Bridge -- and the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge in crossing the Bosphorus.
It is the world's longest suspension rail bridge and will lead to $1.75 billion-a-year in savings through reduced travel times and energy costs.
All trucks and heavy-duty vehicles will be directed to the bridge to ease traffic on the other bridges, as well as cut congestion and pollution in Istanbul.
It forms part of the Northern Marmara Motorway Project, the next two phases of which will see 257 km (160 miles) of roads completed by the end of 2018.
Transport Minister Ahmet Arslan said the government would continue to strengthen Turkey's infrastructure. "Without using any public sources, we will maintain such mega-projects through the build-operate-transfer finance model," he said.
An estimated 135,000 vehicles are expected to use the bridge daily, with those traveling from Europe to Asia paying a toll, set at 9.90 Turkish liras (around $3) for cars, from Sept. 1.
Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa, Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov, Mustafa Akinci, the president of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, Bosnian Joint President Bakir Izetbegovic and Bulgaria's Prime Minister Boyko Borisov were among the guests attending the opening ceremony.
Erdogan, who along with Yildirim was among the first to cross the bridge, said it would "pioneer" further projects, such as a canal linking the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara and another Europe-Asia bridge at the Canakkale Strait.
The president used the occasion to attack Daesh, which killed 54 people in a suicide bombing at a wedding in the southern city of Gaziantep on Aug. 20.
"Do not regard what is written on their so-called flag," he said, referring to the terror group's white-on-black standard that carries the names of Allah and the Prophet Muhammed.
"Those terrorists cannot be Muslim. They are manipulating children by using them as suicide bombers. When asked, they claim that they are acting in the name of Islam. However, they have nothing to do with Islam. There is absolutely no room for such cruelty in our religion, because our religion is a religion of peace." The president said he would visit Gaziantep on Sunday.
Referring to the Battle of Malazgirt on Aug. 26, 1071, which saw the Seljuk Turks defeat a Byzantine army and open the way for Turkish domination in Anatolia, Erdogan added: "We have been here for a thousand years. The most significant qualification of our ancient history is that we would overcome every challenge by acting in unity as a nation."Anadolu Agency website contains only a portion of the news stories offered to subscribers in the AA News Broadcasting System (HAS), and in summarized form.

Hashtag blessed. Heidi Montag is "hopeful" that she'll be pregnant and starting a family with husband Spencer Pratt next year, she told a Christian website in a new interview.
"I am writing a coffee table wife type of book. It's more like a fun project, something I enjoy doing, and then I'm getting ready to be a mom hopefully next year," the former reality star, 30, told Faithwire. "So that is going to be my main priority and full-time job."
Montag added that Pratt, 33, hasn't always been so hot on the idea of being a father, but she has faith that he will come around to see her side of things. "You know, I had to pray to get my husband to even … agree to have a kid, and so this whole journey over the last few years … I have had to do."
The pair, who tied the knot in April 2009, have publicly discussed the issue of kids, most recently during their stint on We TV's Marriage Boot Camp. (During one January 2015 episode, Montag told the marriage counselors that she's "ready to have children and Spencer's acting like a child." In response, Pratt gleefully told the counselors that he's aware that he's "baby blocking.")
"You know, it's not so easy, not everyone can just have kids whenever they want," Montag told Faithwire. "There is a lot of hardship and prayers and certain things you have to put into that."
The Hills alum added that her loss of faith was what led to her rather tumultuous past few years after the series' end.
"I grew up in a small town in Colorado, and I always dreamt that I would be buying Louboutins and I had a love for Vogue magazine," she said. "[So] when I actually had an opportunity to buy those things, it was almost like … it was fun and then of course, I just got a little carried away with it."
Montag famously got 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day, including breast augmentation, a nose job and pinned-back ears. She later had her implants removed and has since come to recognize that "life is really short and really temporary and when everything goes, all your money, everything you've built your security on, it really makes you face the reality of this life."
"So I'm really thankful I had such a public fall and I spent all my money and everything because it made me remember what I care about and what is important to me and to rebuild," she concluded. "Because of God, I was able to rebuild and refocus."

05/13/2022 / By Ethan Huff
Terra creator Do Kwon is apparently a longtime scam artist who also put together the failed algorithmic stablecoin "Basis Cash" (BAC), which was launched through Ethereum in 2020.
Just like the now-failed Terra coin, BAC "sought to maintain a $1 peg through code, not collateral," according to CoinDesk. BAC ultimately failed, never reaching dollar parity and eventually crashing to "well below 1 cent" where it now trades.
CoinDesk, which is normally pro-crypto, reported in a new piece that the Terra fiasco is just "history repeating" itself.
Former Terraform Labs engineer Hyungsuk Kang confirmed that Basis Cash was a side project put together by some of Terra's creators, including Kwon. A second anonymous employee confirmed that Kwon is the true identity behind "Rick Sanchez," one of the anonymous co-founders of Basis Cash.
"Basis Cash wasn't tested at the moment, and we weren't even sure" it would work, Kang told CoinDesk. Kwon just "wanted to test it out," saying it "was a pilot project for doing that."
A review of Basis Cash Korea chat logs confirms that Kwon did, in fact, refer to himself as "Risk."
Before shutting down in 2018 due to regulatory concerns, Basis Cash successfully raised $133 million for the scam. It was described at the time as a "Decentralized Stablecoin with an Algorithmic Central Bank."
Two years later, "Rick" discussed on Telegram attempting to resurrect the failed stablecoin, writing:
"Yo degens, anyone remember what Basis was? It was one of the early 'DeFi' algorithmic stablecoins with high ambitions, but it was shut down due to SEC-related risks. Today we're bringing Basis back from the grave."
"In the long term, we look forward to seeing Basis Cash be used widely as a base layer primitive such that there is organic demand for the asset in many DeFi and commercial settings," he added.
The apparent purpose of this resurrection was to once again fleece the sheep, so to speak. And with what has happened once again with Terra, those who knew of Kwon's secret identity made the tough decision to come forward about it.
Another "stablecoin" with questionable stability is Tether, which late last year we reported is facing a lawsuit over "unlawful and deceptive" practices.
The suit, which was filed in the District Court of Southern New York, accuses Tether of "immoral, unethical, oppressive, and unscrupulous" business practices, one of them is that the company is lying about the crypto being backed 1:1 by the U.S. dollar.
The Tether scam has yet to fully unravel, but if the Terra situation is any indicator of what is about to happen then the entire crypto world is about to take another huge hit.
As for Kwon, another op-ed published by CoinDesk is rightfully calling him the "Elizabeth Holmes of crypto," which could not be a more accurate descriptor.
"Stable at zero," joked someone at Zero Hedge about the future of these stablecoins.
"This is just getting started," wrote another. "Tether unpegged from $1 this morning, too. Down to .94. If Tether goes, the entire crypto market will race to near zero. This is going to get fun!"
Others referred to crypto scams as legal Ponzi schemes. All a person has to do to start his own crypto scam is come up with a marketing plan that pushes it as the new gold rush. Then just shout down anyone who is skeptical of it until the money starts flowing, cash out, rinse, and repeat.

Senate passes controversial financial manager overhaul
Legislation that would allow emergency financial managers to throw out union contracts and overrule elected officials in financially distressed municipalities and school districts was approved in the Senate today. The measure passed 26-12 along party lines in the Republican-controlled chamber. Similar bills passed in the House in late February. The chambers must now agree on a final version to send to Gov. Rick Snyder for his signature. More than 1,000 union members demonstrated opposition to the bills Tuesday, chanting loudly outside the chamber doors as senators worked through details of the legislation. Before casting her no vote, Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer, D-East Lansing, called the legislation an "unfair and unjustified power grab." "This bill represents bigger government, more bureaucrats (and) less accountability and less transparency," Whitmer said, sending up a cheer from the hallway that could be heard inside the chamber. "Where the heck is the Tea Party now? We were sent to Lansing to create jobs, not dismantle them."

One binge drinking session could cause permanent harm
According to a new study, even a single episode of binge drinking can have serious negative health consequences. Researchers found that one binge drinking session results in bacteria leaking from the gut, which leads to higher levels of toxins within the blood. These bacterial toxins—endotoxins—force the body to produce immune cells that are involved in fever, tissue destruction and inflammation.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has defined binge drinking as a pattern of drinking that "brings a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 grams percent or above. This typically happens when men consume 5 or more drinks, and when women consume 4 or more drinks, in about 2 hours."
Further, estimates show that more than 38 million U.S. adults binge drink, about 4 times a month, and the largest number of drinks per binge is on average 8. This behavior greatly increases the chances of getting hurt or hurting others due to car crashes, violence, and suicide. Drinking too much, including binge drinking, causes 80,000 deaths in the U.S. each year.
"Binge drinking takes a tremendous toll on your body," says Dr. Adam Rubinstein, an internal medicine physician with Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, Illinois. "Over time, binge drinking raises blood pressure and can significantly damage your liver. I typically tell patients that if they are going to drink at all, I'd rather they have one glass of wine with dinner each night rather than four or five glasses of wine in one sitting one time a week because of the negative impact of that kind of binge drinking."
The CDC defines a single alcoholic drink as any drink that contains 0.6 ounces (14.0 grams or 1.2 tablespoons) of pure alcohol. Generally, this amount of pure alcohol is found in:
- 12-ounces of beer (5 percent alcohol content)
- 5-ounces of wine (12 percent alcohol content)
- 1.5-ounces of 80-proof (40 percent alcohol content) distilled spirits or liquor (e.g., gin, rum, vodka, whiskey)
Dr. Rubinstein adds, "You should always disclose to your physician how much alcohol you consume. If you have any underlying conditions or are taking certain medications, alcohol consumption may have a negative impact them."
