Media Musings Blog Archive Amanda Knox Amanda Knox is now home, in Seattle, after an Italian burberry factory outlet store jury decided she did not kill her roommate Meredith Kercher.
Only few days after being acquitted, there is already perspective of a movie, "Amanda Knox: The Movie", for the big screen and update for another movie Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy starring Hayden Panettiere. It is not a surprise the Amanda Knox case has captivated everyone internationally. A terrible murder in Italy, a young pretty girl away from her home country accused of the murder, another young attractive girl murdered. Well, you just got the best crime story for the media. In "Why There Will Always be Three Amanda Knoxes", Nina Burleigh explains why Knox was depicted in three different ways in three different countries. In the United States, her home country, she is the victim of a corrupted judicial system. In the UK, she is a psychopath the victim Meredith Kercher is British. And finally in Italy, she is a manipulative "witch". In Australia, although the case was covered regarding hard news, it is difficult to find opinion pieces about the subject. But in "Banged up abroad: lessons for the traveller" Martin Hodgson give an interesting opinion regarding young Australian people who want to travel overseas with an eye on the Knox case. The Australian Blog highlighted that The Daily Mail made a mistake by first announcing that Knox was guilty. Even though Amanda Knox has been acquitted, everyone has an opinion on the subject regarding her innocence. But this is not the main issue. The important issue is that media should never behave as judge and jury and in this case some limits were crossed. Are you aware of another case where someone has been treated unfairly by the media? Thus far the case is one of suspicion only. Waiting until the end of the trial before we decide on whom that suspicion ought to rest, chanel c earrings let us now hear the evidence by which the Duparcs and christian louboutin rolando pump their adherents proceeded to justify their conspiracy against the liberty and moncler coats online the life of a friendless girl. Having secured Marie in solitary confinement, discounted kate spade and having thus left the house and all that it contained kate spade white shoes for a whole night at the free disposal of the Duparcs, new balance 770 the Procurator Revel bethought himself, the morning after the arrest of christian louboutin at barneys his prisoner, of the necessity of proceeding with something like official murakami louis vuitton regularity. He accordingly issued his requisition to the Lieutenant Criminel to accompany christian louboutin spiked flats him to the house of Monsieur Duparc, attended by the medical buy chanel sunglasses officers and the clerk, to inquire into the circumstances under which women moncler the suspected death by poisoning of Monsieur De Beaulieu had taken louis vuitton outlets stores place. Marie had been imprisoned on the evening of the seventh moncler triomphe jacket of August, and this requisition is dated on the morning of gucci men belt the eighth. The document betrays one remarkable informality. It mentions the michael kors discount death of Monsieur De Beaulieu; but is absolutely silent on the michael kors shoes outlet sale subject of the alleged poisoning of seven persons at dinner the michael kors pink watch next day. And yet it was this latter circumstance only which kate spade dress shoes first directed suspicion against Marie, and which induced Friley to lodge gucci sale the information against her on which the Procurator was now acting. air max 90 premium Probably Monsieur Revel s legal acumen convinced him, at the outset, that kate spade necklaces the story of the poisoned dinner was too weak to be louis vuitton money clip relied on. The officers of the law, accompanied by the doctors, proceeded nike air jordan dub zero to the house of the Duparcs on the eighth of August. louis vuitton wallet sale After viewing the body of Monsieur De Beaulieu, the medical men is there an authentic louis vuitton outlet were directed to open and examine it. They reported the discovery gucci models in the stomach of a reddish, brick colored liquid, somewhat resembling the christian louboutin hidden platform pump lees of wine. The mucous membrane was detached in some places, moncler store locations and its internal surface was corroded. burberry factory store online Upon this, the doctors delivered it as michael michael kors carla sandal their opinion that Monsieur De Beaulieu had been poisoned, and that new balance men s shoes poison had been the cause of his death. The event having taken kate spake this serious turn, the first duty of the Lieutenant Criminel (according to gucci flats for women the French law) was to send for the servant on whom michael kors sign suspicion rested, to question her, and to confront her with the michael kors replicas Duparcs. He did burberry brit buy online nothing of the kind; he made no inquiry barbour ladies after the servant (being probably unwilling to expose his colleague, the gucci bags wholesale Procurator, who had illegally arrested and illegally imprisoned her); he never michael kors gold shoes examined the kitchen utensils which the Commissary had locked up; he nba jerseys from china never opened the servant s cupboard with the key that had been gucci watches men taken from her when she was searched in prison. All he louis vuitton cosmetic bag did was to reduce the report of the doctors to writing, baby new balance and to return to his office with his posse comitatus at kate spade charm heel his heels. It was necessary to summon the witnesses and examine them. louis vuitton handbags official site But the Procurator Revel now conveniently remembered the story of the michael kors catalog poisoned dinner, and he sent the Lieutenant Criminel to examine the Duparcs louis vuitton for sale cheap and their friends at the private residence of the family, in pre owned louis vuitton consideration of the sickly condition of the eaters of the adulterated c learance louis vuitton meal. It may be as well to observe, here as elsewhere, christian louboutin online shopping that these highly indulged personages had none of them been sufficiently prada outlet livermore inconvenienced even to go to bed, or in any way to moncler vest sale alter their ordinary habits. On the afternoon of the eighth, the Lieutenant Criminel betook himself to the house of Monsieur Duparc, to collect evidence touching the death by poison of Monsieur De Beaulieu. The first witness called was Monsieur Duparc. This gentleman, it will be remembered, was away from home on Monday, the sixth, when Monsieur De Beaulieu died, and only returned, at the summons of his eldest son, at half past eleven on the forenoon of the seventh. He had nothing to depose connected with the death of his father in law, or with the events which might have taken place in the house on the night of the sixth and the morning of the seventh. On the other hand, he had a great deal to say about the state of his own stomach after the dinner of the seventh a species of information not calculated to throw much light on the subject of inquiry, which was the poisoning of Monsieur De Beaulieu. The old lady, Madame De Beaulieu, was next examined, She could give no evidence find louis vuitton outlet of the slightest importance touching the matter in hand; but, like Monsieur Duparc, she had something to say on the topic of the poisoned dinner. Madame Duparc followed on kate spade ostrich bag the list of witnesses. The report of her examination so cheap chanel earrings thoroughly had she recovered from the effects of the dinner of prices on chanel bags the seventh ran to a prodigious length. Five sixths of it nba wholesale jerseys related entirely to her own sensations and suspicions, and the sensations gucci prescription glasses and suspicions of her relatives and friends, after they had risen where to buy prada bags from the table. As to the point at issue, the point shop louis vuitton bags which affected the liberty, and perhaps the life, of her unfortunate michael kors is cheap servant, she had so little to say that her testimony may nba stitched jerseys be repeated here in her own words: The witness (Madame Duparc) deposed, louis vuitton mens jeans that after Marie had helped Monsieur De Beaulieu to get up, new balance store locations she (Marie) hastened out for the milk, and, on her return kate spade sale jewelry with it, prepared the hasty pudding, took it herself off the fire, gucci shoes for men cheap and herself poured it out into the plate then left louis vuitton watches for women the kitchen to accompany Madame De Beaulieu to mass. Four or new balance 490 five minutes after Monsieur De Beaulieu had eaten the hasty pudding, he moncler sale online was seized with violent illness. Short as it is, this statement contains gucci sunglasses repair several distinct suppressions of the truth. First, Madame Duparc is wrong in christian louboutin mid heel stating that Marie fetched the milk, for it was the milk woman kate spade store new york who brought it to the house. Secondly, Madame Duparc conceals the new balance mr1012mc fact that she handed the flour to the servant to make air max 97 the hasty pudding. Thirdly, Madame Duparc does not mention that she held michael kors glasses the plate for the pudding to be poured into, and took chanel bags saks it to her father. Fourthly, and most important of all, Madame baby barbour jackets Duparc altogether omits to state that she sprinkled salt, with her louis vuitton sale bags own hands, over the hasty pudding although she had expressly informed prada discount outlet her servant, a day or two before, that salt was never the weather chanel to be mixed with it. At a subsequent stage of the louis vuitton handbags outlet store proceedings she was charged with having salted the hasty pudding herself, and ski wear moncler she could not, and did not, deny it. The examination of Madame new balance factory outlet lawrence Duparc ended the business of the day of the eighth. The first chanel quilted purse witness examined on the second day was Mademoiselle Duparc. She carefully prada price followed her mother s lead saying as little as possible about louis vuitton purses handbags the preparation of the hasty pudding on the morning of Monday, and chanel fine jewelry as much as possible about the pain suffered by everybody after pink and black nike shox the dinner of Tuesday. Madame Beauguillot, the next witness, added her chanel reading glasses testimony, as to the state of her own digestive organs, after chanel stud earrings partaking of the same meal speaking at such prodigious length louis vuitton online factory outlet that the poison would appear, in her case, to have produced nike shox tl3 its principal effect (and that of a stimulating kind) on her new balance moyen tongue. Her son, Monsieur De Beauguillot, was next examined, quite uselessly barbour coat sale in relation to the death by poison, which was the object where are michael kors outlets of inquiry. The last witness was Madame Duparc s younger son louis vuitton bathing suit the same who had complained of feeling a gritty substance between new balance 530 his teeth at dinner. In one important respect, his evidence flatly christian louboutin rollerboy spikes contradicted his mother s. Madame Duparc had adroitly connected Monsieur De Beaulieu s outlet michael kors online illness with the hasty pudding, by describing the old man as having chanel n 5 been taken ill four or five minutes after eating it. Young new balance seattle Duparc, on the contrary, declared that his grandfather first felt ill louis vuitton perfume at nine o clock exactly two hours after he had partaken of gucci outlet online store authentic his morning meal. With the evidence of this last witness, the examinations where to buy used louis vuitton at the private residence of Monsieur Duparc ended. Thus far, out michael kors logo of the seven persons, all related to each other, who had cheap louis vuitton outlet store online been called as witnesses, three (Monsieur Duparc himself, Madame Beauguillot, and chanel watches prices her son) had not been in the house on the day moncler black jacket when Monsieur De Beaulieu died. Of the other four, who had michael kors sale watches been present (Madame De Beaulieu, Madame Duparc, her son and her gucci jeans daughter), not one deposed to a single fact tending to fix prada online shopping on Marie any reasonable suspicion of having administered poison to Monsieur nike outlet store location De Beaulieu. The remaining witnesses, called before the Lieutenant Criminel, were twenty nine in christian louboutin bianca black patent number. Not one of them had been in the house on authentic louis vuitton online outlet the Monday which was the day of the old man s death. green moncler Twenty six of them had nothing to offer but hearsay evidence on nike free trainers 70 the subject of the events which had taken place at, and air max shoes after, the dinner of Tuesday. The testimony of the remaining three; nike shox namely, of Friley, who had lodged the information against Marie; of leopard print christian louboutin Surgeon H bert, who had searched her pockets in the house; and louis vuitton price of Commissary Bertot, who had searched her for the second time, barbour jacket online after taking her to prison was the testimony on which where can you buy new balance shoes the girl s enemies mainly relied for substantiating their charges by positively free nike stuff associating her with the possession of arsenic. Let us see what amount gucci tshirt of credit can be attached to the evidence of these three gucci slides witnesses. Friley was the first to be examined. After stating what personalized nba basketball jerseys share he had taken in bringing Marie to justice (it will gucci sunglasses outlet online be remembered that he lodged his information against her at the louis vuitton messenger bags instance of Madame Duparc, without allowing her to say a word christian louboutin wedding collection in her own defense), he proceeded to depose that he hunted new balance 400 about the bed on which the girl had lain down to christian louboutin australia recover herself, and that he discovered on the mattress seven or michael kors factory outlet online store eight scattered grains of some substance which resembled the powder reported new balance wl442 to have been found on the crumbs in her pockets. He barbour jacket beaufort added further, that on the next day, about two hours before moncler jackets mens the body of Monsieur De Beaulieu was examined, he returned to kate spade flats the house, searched under the bed, with Monsieur Duparc and a michael kors jet set large soldier named Cauvin, and found there four or five grains more louis vuitton consignment of the same substance which he had discovered on the mattress. Here buy chanel handbags online were two separate portions of poison found, then. On being asked what he did with the michael kors outlet on sale first portion, he replied that he gave it to young Monsieur chanel hangbags Beauguillot. Beauguillot s evidence was thereupon referred to, and it was found barbour jackets online that he had never mentioned receiving the packet of powder from michael kors handbags outlet cheap Friley. He had made himself extremely officious in examining the kitchen authentic louis vuitton handbags for less utensils; he had been as anxious as any one to promote cheap louis vuitton bags the discovery of arsenic; and when he had the opportunity of gucci reading glasses producing it, if Friley were to be believed, he held it louis vuitton sale outlet usa back, and said not one word about the matter.
So much men gucci sneakers for the first portion of the mysterious powder, and for the gucci shoes on sale online credibility of Friley s evidence thus far! On being questioned as to what gucci for men he had done with the second portion, alleged to have been louis vuitton discount handbags found under the bed, Friley replied that he had handed it gucci burberry outlet online sat?? cufflinks to the doctors who opened the body, and that they had karl lagerfeld chanel tried to discover what it was by burning it between two new balance cheap copper pieces. A witness who had been present at this proceeding kate spade lover declared, on being questioned, that the experiment had been made with michael kors women s watches some remains of hasty pudding scraped out of the saucepan. Here again authentic louis vuitton outlet reviews was a contradiction, and here, once more, Friley s evidence was, to christian louboutin mistica say the least of it, not to be depended on.

JCAS Presents: A Screening of "Waltz with Bashir"
Directed by Ari Folman, "Waltz with Bashir" (2008) is an award-winning animated documentary that depicts Folman's search for lost memories from the time he was a soldier in the 1982 Lebanon War. Predominately depicted in animation, the film is a fascinating amalgam of music from different genres, realistic graphics, and surrealistic imagery. This forum will focus on discussing why Folman decided to tell a tumultuous period in his life using animation over live action--and in turn how this may have helped him constructively regain a memory.

And here we'll paint a happy little tree…
6:11pm EST - Minh has passed the ball to Helk, who is now implementing the rocket launcher.
12:38pm EST - Day 2 of a new week in Rust development and we've got a big new addition: Hand drawn signs! After a quiet day of commits yesterday, the team has exploded out of the gate today. First and foremost, lets look at these signs...
Hand drawn signs
The days of simply typing a messages over; Newmans now have a blank canvas when it comes to signs. With different brush shapes, sizes, opacity and a 20 color palette, people will be able to paint the landscape or draw Dick Butt in an infinite number of ways.
In addition to added creativity possibilities, these new signs are aimed at being more stable; ideally not causing client crashes like their typography based older brothers. This is currently live on our dev server if you want to test it out.
Sign editor controls:
- Hold right mouse to spin the sign around
- Hold shift and right mouse to pan
- Mouse wheel zooms
Here's a short video and some screens:
New stair progress
Vincent continues the implementation process for the new stairs, finishing the models for all tiers. If you remember from last week, it looks like there will be two types, L shaped and U shaped. Given these aren't added to the building plan, they are not yet able to be tested on the dev branch. More info to come as they are added in fully, in the mean time, here's the one picture we do have:
Medical tool fixes
Helk has fixed some things with how the medical tools work on the wounded. Specifically, the medical syringe will revive the person now along with boosting their health (which wasn't working previously).
Cloud tweaks
Andre is in the clouds today, updating and tweaking lighting on our puffy new friends. Here's some shots:
Rocket launcher
We're seeing several commits from Minh dealing with animations for the newest explosion maker: The rocket launcher. It is not yet implemented in the game, however, given the progress over the past week, I'd be surprised if it didn't make it into this weeks update.
Invincibility in bushes fixed
One of the most game breaking bugs in the game at the moment is anything inside a bush is invincible. That means a properly placed twig hut can be completely unraidable and its occupants insusceptible to gunfire. Thankfully, this has been fixed, so enjoy this limited time offer before Thursday.
Alt-tab woes
Since the other week, alt-tabbing has been kicking clients from servers with an, "Unresponsive" error. This is caused by a fix Garry put in to get rid of people throttling their ping for advantage, however, it is causing more headaches than it solves. Less important, if you do manage to alt-tab back without being disconnected, brightness is turned way down (slowly rising again over a couple minutes). No sign of these issues being addressed yet but I really hope a fix gets slipped in there prior to Thursday's update. In the mean time, if you want to avoid being disconnected (along with ruin your immersion), run in windowed mode.
Rustaforum.com maintenance
We're upgrading our forum software to a new version. This will provide some cool new features and a better mobile design. Unfortunately, we hit a hiccup and the database migration which we're still working through. Therefore, rustaforum is currently down. No worries, we have multiple backups of the data and will just revert if not resolved by later today.

Giving the option to change your IP periodically on launch as well, there are even tabs that are connected to your account and support porting from the website directly.
Developed by Mudhook Marketing Inc, the parent company of IPVanish, the Android app provides you with a strong connection via OpenVPN and the iOS app allows to use PPTP/L2TP. They also allow for a manual configuration on other protocols if you feel you need to change things up. We did compare the app results to those of the computer software, only to be satisfied with the results found on all systems.
Labeled as 'basic,' the app was found to be quite adequate. The speeds that were achieved held nose and nose with those of the computer. Giving IPVanish the usual tests, there were no DNS leaks, and all security and IP tests came back clear across all platforms. As expected, IPVanish was satisfyingly excellent.

Mike Seidel may still be searching the skies in vain, but snow has come to Fayetteville ... FINALLY!
Reports of snow without the stinging, pinging sleet began filtering in from around the city from Pine Forest to Spring Lake to Hope Mills. It was disappointing to have such a delayed start, especially for folks hoping to see a half-foot or so of the white stuff.
So, what happened? Two words ... Warm Nose. A weather term meaning an intrusion of above-freezing temperatures in the snow column, the warm nose melted a good 4 hours of what would have been snow in Fayetteville. Even worse, that sleet and rain will freeze tonight into a slick surface that will make driving, walking ... heck you name it, it's going to be treacherous.
How long will the snow last? The NWS is indicating we should see snow past 1 a.m. If we can squeeze an inch an hour out of the remnant of the storm, that would be three inches of snow on top of a quarter inch of ice. That should be good for some trips down the hill at Rowan Park.
And after that? Well, temps in the Sandhills aren't likely to get above freezing on Wednesday, and barely into the low 40s on Thursday. Anything that melts will re-freeze overnight into dangerous stretches of black ice. Please be cautious if you're driving after dark.
If there's a bright spot, temps should climb into the 50s on Friday, then flirt with 60 on a sunny Saturday. It won't make up for snowmen that never got built, though.
Let's see what we wind up with in the region. It's not over yet!

As October winds down, let's take a serious look at why the month is devoted to Domestic Violence Awareness, and why the City of Myrtle Beach actively works to help victims and prosecute offenders.
Domestic violence is a state and national problem affecting more than 10 million Americans annually. The Myrtle Beach Police Department averages three to four domestic violence calls daily, and Officer Michele Paitsel is dedicated to handling these cases.
Every domestic violence call is different, but Officer Paitsel says one thing is constant: someone is always the victim. "Whether female or male, the victim has been abused by their partner, physically or mentally. Not only does violence hurt the victim, but it affects everyone in the household and anyone who witnesses the situation, especially children," Piatsel says.
Domestic violence includes behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, destroy property or wound someone. It also can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological actions or threats that influence another person.
"The victim is physically and emotionally upset and in a state of shock when we arrive," Paitsel explains from experience. "The victim sometimes refuses to talk with police or give any information because they are afraid of what might happen if they do talk or if the offender goes to jail. They're afraid of repercussions from the offender."
But Officer Paitsel says that's not the only reason victims may decline to cooperate with police. "The victim sometimes will not talk or come forward because they feel they are not victims. The victim believes it was his or her fault the abuse happened, or they don't want to leave because the offender is the main provider for the household."
The responding officer's goal is to get the victim out of harm's way. Each call is documented, whether it is a physical or verbal altercation. Paitsel says domestic violence can happen to anyone, regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, religion or gender. It affects people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and education levels.
"Children who grow up witnessing domestic violence are among those seriously affected by the crime," she adds. "Frequent exposure to violence in the home not only predisposes children to numerous social and physical problems, but also teaches them that violence is a normal way of life, consequently increasing their risk of becoming society's next generation of victims and abusers."
What should you do if you think someone is being abused? "If you see something, say something," advises Officer Paitsel. "Let someone know, whether it is the police, a teacher or a friend. Speak up! If we don't know about it, we cannot get the victim the help and resources he or she needs."
"Victims are often apprehensive to talk to anyone because they are afraid of what might happen next," Paitsel says, so you may need to be their voice. "Domestic violence victims often hide the truth to prevent the offender's arrest, but that usually results in more abuse and injury for the victim."
Signs of domestic violence can be physical or mental – or both. "Look for injuries to the victim, of course, but also threats to the victim or the family, property destruction and name-calling," Paitsel cautions. "The abuser may exert power over the victim, making decisions for the victim or even blaming the victim for the abuse by claiming it was 'their fault.'"
The message of Domestic Violence Awareness Month each October is: Don't wait until you and the ones you love get hurt, to get help. Resources are available if you or someone you know is experiencing a domestic violence situation.
For help locally, contact The Family Justice Center (843-445-2583), New Directions for Women and Families (843-232-7055) or Street Reach Ministries – Men Only (843-945-4902). You can also contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233) and South Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence (803-256-2900).
If you are a victim or you know someone who is, "Call the police. Do not be afraid to report domestic violence. We are here to help," Myrtle Beach Police Officer Michele Paitsel says.
With that in mind, Myrtle Beach recognized Domestic Violence Awareness Month city-wide during October. Even the Myrtle Beach City Council meetings were draped in purple in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Purple is meant to be a symbol of peace, courage, survival, honor and dedication to ending violence.

American Roulette
The online version of American Roulette is just as fun and easy to play as it would be in any brick-and-mortar casino. Players will feel like they are in a real casino when they access the online version of the game, as the roulette wheel, game table and chips are all easy to see and access. The animation used makes the experience so realistic players will forget they are sitting in their own home or office.
With a click of the mouse the roulette wheel is spun and players can watch the ball travel around the wheel. Placing a chip in the desired spot on the game table is as easy as clicking on it with the mouse and dragging it to the right position. The hot and cold numbers for that particular game are listed in the top right hand corner of the screen, helping players make their decision about which numbers to bet on. To find out what the minimum and maximum bet is for a particular number all a player has to do is glide their mouse over the game table. Voice announcements made throughout the course of a game helps players stay on track.
European Roulette
European Roulette is a staple at both offline and online casinos. This classic table game can now be enjoyed in virtually any online casino that exists today. The betting types that players can choose for this game are standard bets and outside bets. Placing a bet in this game is very easy to do and players always have access to the game's hot and cold numbers so they know which ones to choose and which ones to avoid.
The simple layout of this game allows players to see the roulette wheel, game table and their chips right in front of their face. The game is very user friendly and easy to learn, even for someone who has never played roulette before. Players can even save their favorite bets for future games and can access those favorite bets anytime by clicking the appropriate button on the game screen. The racetrack and game statistics can also be accessed the same way, arming players with everything they need to know in order to be successful at the game. There is no difference between playing the online version of this game and playing it at any offline casino anywhere throughout the world.
French Roulette
While both American and European Roulette have their fans, just as many people enjoying playing French Roulette. Playing this game online is much more convenient than having to travel to an offline casino to do it, according to many who enjoy French Roulette from the comfort and privacy of their own home.
The realistic graphics and sound effects make it easy for players to forget they are accessing the game online. Nothing about the game playing experience is compromised by playing the online version and for many players it can be even more fun because they can take the time to learn the game and practice it without the distractions a brick-and-mortar casino brings.
The layout of the game screen makes it easy for players to keep track of the action. They can always get assistance in placing their bets, and a voice announcement service allows them to easily move through the game, regardless of their level of experience playing French Roulette. This impressive online version of a staple in casino games allows anyone to play the game whether they are able to bet real money on it or not. French Roulette has become a popular game online.

Inside Egypt26 Jul 2014 21:22 GMT Politics, US & Canada, Egypt, Israel, United States Rejected by Hamas and other armed Palestinian groups, Egypt this week said that the ceasefire initiative provides a chance to end fighting and remove the blockade on Gaza. It also works on achieving the demands made by Palestinians in Gaza. The US threw its support behind the Egyptian move. On Tuesday, Secretary of State John kerry said the initiative is the framework to end fighting between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Cairo has been at the centre of most of the diplomatic efforts to end the war in Gaza. the UN Secretary General and a number of foreign ministers held talks with the Egyptian leadership on how to end what is happening in Gaza. For years, Cairo has been crucial in all truces and agreements between the Palestinians and Israel. But can it play the same role this time around? And is a deal possible without Egypt?

Serving Alongside Friends
Blog post written by Jenni Ramsey
Our team this week is very dear to my heart for many reasons. Not only do we have many returning team members and leaders from The Village Church of Irvine. We also have two incredible families from our neighborhood in Irvine whose kids are close friends with our boys. It's been a dream come true for Jordan and Aidan to serve alongside their buddies in El Salvador this week.
In addition, our lifelong friends, Guido and Julien Hajenius, are serving with our team. Guido's wife, Katie, is one of my best friends from college and we've supported each other through our weddings, the birth of our children and years of life and ministry. Katie and Guido's son, Julien, is one of Aidan's best friends as well. Guido serves with iEmpathize, an organization that seeks to eradicate child exploitation, engage the culture and empower kids. To learn more about iEmpathize, click here.
This week Guido has been given four opportunities to present his materials on sexual exploitation, empathy and empowerment. His presentation connects the hope of the Gospel with practical tools that empower young people to make the right choices. Sadly, the majority of the children that we serve in El Salvador have experienced extreme trauma and abuse. They are desperate for healing and Guido's presentation has given them incredible tools for their futures. Mike and I have loved partnering with the Hajenius family and iEmpathize for many years and it's truly a gift to serve together in Central America. My heart has been overflowing as I've watched the Lord use both Guido and Julien over and over again this week.

Pearl Jam Donates to Songbird Sings/
Robin Lane's Songbird Sings organization is honored to be one of four non-profit organizations awarded funding through Pearl Jam's Vitalogy Foundation.
"As rock bands will do, Eddie Vedder and the boys in Pearl Jam made a whole lot of noise at their two sold-out shows at Fenway Park earlier this month. But the band was silent about its sizable donation to Songbird Sings, a group founded by Bay State songwriter Robin Lane that helps people heal from trauma through songwriting." Click to read full story.
Military.com's Entertainment blog Under the Radar featured an article on Pearl Jam's aims to help veterans through their donation as did Mass Live. We are so grateful for the support and coverage for our cause.

It's a strangely quiet Friday. There's no CMLL show, with the Anniversario taking place tomorrow. The bigger shows are outside of Mexico: the Rockstar Pro/Chilanga Mask show in Dayton, Ohio and a Rey Mysterio led show at a casino in San Diego.
Again, that iPPV is tomorrow in Mexico at 5pm CT. You can see the start time where you live here. There's still plenty of floor seats available over on Ticketmaster.
MedioTiempo talks about the history of what day the Anniversary show has been held on. I write a little about this in a preview going up on Voices of Wrestling, but I wonder if CMLL might permanently attach this show to Independence Day. It would seem like a good idea if they can draw with this card, and most of their biggest shows are now held on or about holidays. The Dia de Muertos shows are coming up (and would be a logical place for an Adonis/Casas match if that's the direction), and CMLL will also hold big shows on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. 09/16 falls on Sunday next year, a more traditional CMLL day where they could pull this off again.
La Informa has an interview with Gran Guerrero, who sees Saturday's match as a way to make his own name. The article claims Gran Guerrero wrestled as Ultimo Guerrero Junior briefly between being Taurus & Gran Guerrero, which did not actually happen. Princesa Sugehit sees her mask match as a way to cap an excellent year. Zeuxis says she doesn't know how she'd go on without her mask.
In probably misleading statistics, CMLL's Twitter post for Princesa Sugehit & Zeuxis got a lot more favorites & RTs than the one for Niebla Roja & Gran Guerrero. The women's match and men's match are much closer on Facebook (and much more responded to in general.)
AAA posted photos and video of their work with the Red Cross yesterday. 3 tons of products were donated.
One more team was announced for the Lucha World Cup
1: Mexico (AAA): TBA
2: Mexico (LU): TBA
3: USA (NOAH): Cody Hall & Quiet Storm
5: Japan (NOAH): Taiji Ishimori & HI69
6: International (IGF): NOSAWA & Kendo Kashin – new and not really international
7: International (LU): TBA
8: UK/New Zealand (FREE?): TBA
Sexy Star is also no longer appearing on these shows. That seemed certain once AAA took the Reina de Reinas titles back. AAA still hasn't acknowledged this show.
Kaho Kobayashi won the REINA International Junior Championship (Keyra's old title) on the REINA show today.
Impact/GFW teased holding their Bound for Glory PPV in England, which would explain why Super Fly mentioned AAA wrestlers would soon be going there – but PWInsider says it's a weird fakeout and they won't actually be in the UK.
An English language El Desperado interview on NJPW's site brings up Coliseo Coacalco in passing. Desperado calls the ring and the locker room terrible as part of a larger point that it doesn't matter how bad the situation is (with Coacalco being put up there as pretty bad), it's still wrestling and he's still giving it his all.
I happened to be getting thru some podcast backlog today and heard Drew Galloway/McInteyre on Chris Jericho's show. Drew talks about all the difference places he wrestled during his hiatus and AAA immediately springs to mind when he's talking about the worst rings. He worked a Lucha World Cup and those Viva el Rey tour shows in 2015. I think Mexican wrestlers are used to these situations because they haven't experienced anything also, but they should know that everyone outside of Mexico has a poor impression of Mexican wrestling because of the conditions they're asked to work in.
Voices of Wrestling has JR Goldberg writing about Negro Casas and El Hijo del Santo.
Aerostar faces Steve Pain in LA on 10/22. The two had what's said to be a great dark in Lucah Underground and matched up well in AAA when Pain was still there.
Mecha Wolf/Mr. 450 was cleared in of domestic violence, stemming from an incident that happened back in March.
CultIcon continues his history of CMLL.
Sensacional de Luchadors continues interview Aeroboy with talk about ChilangaMask & CZW.

On March 11th, 2017, in Turner Valley, Alberta, a fundraiser crop will be held for a cause that is very important to the Foothills of Alberta. Years ago there was a larger scale crop held in Okotoks in support of this cause, this current crop is not connected with that group, it was started completely separate and by some great ladies in the Turner Valley area. It was brought to my attention a few years ago, and I was all over supporting this great cause, once again, as a crop participant.
Rowan House mission:
Our Mission at the Rowan House Emergency Shelter is to provide crisis intervention, long-term support and education for those affected by family violence in rural communities.
Rowan House is an emergency shelter for women and children serving the Foothills and area. It is an important resource to the community, not only as a shelter, but also for their prevention education programs. As a past teacher in High River, the ladies from Rowan House had come to my high school classes to educate our students on the different types of abuse and what a healthy relationship should entail. They have education programs for all ages and are a valued part of our community. As a woman, a mom, an educator, I, like many others in our communities, whole-heartedly support this organization and the amazing work they do.
How can you help?
- Attend the crop! Contact me to register, click here for the Facebook event with all the details of the day! Fee $65 for a full day crop, including two meals, make n'takes and prizes. Registration closes on February 5th, or when you max to capacity, whichever comes first.
- Make a donation! We would greatly appreciate donations for the silent auction and/or door prizes to be awarded throughout the day. If you or your business would like to make a donation, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Every little bit helps, thank you so much for helping make this event a success!
- Spread the word! Please share this post, share the Facebook event, and promote the event to your family and friends! There may be a scrapbooker or crafter you know that would enjoy the day and supporting the cause or a business you know that would like to give back to the community through donation to the event. Thanks so much!

Woodford County
Man dies in crash on U.S. 60 in Woodford County
A car crash Thursday killed a man in Woodford County.
Versailles police said two vehicles collided about 12:30 p.m. at the intersection of U.S. 60 (Lexington Road) and Paddock Drive. An SUV headed east on U.S. 60 collided with a midsize passenger car that was turning left onto U.S. 60 from Paddock Drive.
The driver of the SUV and the front-seat passenger of the car were taken by ambulance to University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital. The driver of the car was airlifted to the UK hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Versailles police, who are investigating the crash, did not immediately release the victim's name.

WEST POINT – West Point Fire & Rescue is closing in on the purchase of a new fire truck to replace a couple older units, but Fire Chief Chris Fullenkamp is looking for help in getting past the $300,000 purchase price of the new unit.
The department started fundraising for the truck in 2017 as regular revenues won't sufficient to cover the cost of the new unit.
We get a millage on the property taxes that is specified toward fire protection. Right now we get .48 per $1,000 assessed valuation. The last three years our budgets averaged just over 60K and expenses have come in at about $51,500 so you're looking at about $9,000 a year you can put away and that would take a long time to save for a $300,000 truck," Fullenkamp said.
He said the older trucks, one of which is more than 40 years old, just aren't capable of servicing the area. Two of the pumps on the trucks wouldn't pass a recent ISO test and one has a blown engine.
Fullenkamp said he has put in FEMA grants almost every year and the last time he was approved for the federal funds was 2006. He said the department began to replace all the bunker gear in 2013 after going 10 years without replacing any of it.
"We're pretty much done with that, but that's something that's ongoing so we don't have 30 sets of gear that need replaced."
He said the department started talking and put out a fundraising letter to start a conversation and that went out in September. Donations were good for the first three weeks, and then another letter went out in December and got another little boost from that.
He said no bids have been taken on the truck but they did put together some estimates around the $300,000.
With the donations, we have about $170,000 and with what the board has we have about $260,000 so we're close we just need that one final push," he said.
He said they are looking at new because rural departments don't look to get rid of trucks after five years.
"New truck, you figure it lasts 25-30 years or you buy a 10-year-old truck and you have it for 10 or 15 years and you're already putting maintenance in it right away," Fullenkamp said.
Fullenkamp said the fire department was recently given an improved ISO rating of a 5 from a six due to some improvements to the water lines in West Point and more modern supplies, but he said without replacing the truck there's a good chance that rating would slip back to a 6. When ISO ratings come down, so do residents' homeowners insurance rates. The inspection was done in the summer for the first time since 2010.
"In 2010 we called them because they hadn't been here since 1990. So they came out in 2010 and we had a new truck, the new dispatch was in place, and they dropped us from a 7 to a 6. They are trying to get everyone on a 5 to 7 year rotation so they came back this summer and dropped us to 5, which will go into effect in February.
The improved rating should bring homeowners rates down 7 to 8 percent.
Anyone wishing to help contribute funds can send donations to PO Box 239, West Point, Iowa 52656.

did anyone show you how to have the best One-on-one meetings with your boss?
When I had my first OOO with my boss I was nervous because I really didn't know what to expect, I didn't know if I was in trouble and I didn't know what I had to prepare. In fact as a bit of a perfectionist without the best confidence I was quite anxious about my performance being reviewed and criticized. Being honest, as someone who doesn't like confrontation I was always tempted to avoid One-on-ones. But at the same time I wanted the recognition and bonuses for the hard work I had put in and I wanted to progress in my career
Now I realize that having a One-on-one with your boss is the best thing possible because even if I've done something wrong, it's better to catch it early before it became an issue that meant I was going to miss out on my bonus or worse.

Club play worldwide is predominantly doubles. That fact immediately begs the question: Why do so very, very few televised tour matches feature doubles?
Curious since the overwhelming TV audience is made up of clubbers. But let's be thankful that the Bryan brothers - the most successful doubles team of all-time - are Americans, or we could very well be seeing zero doubles.
Nonetheless, another axiom is that approximately half the time that's spent playing doubles is at the net - one player aggressively occupying a threatening position and wanting the ball. In an ideal doubles world, the ball is played in the air whenever possible to try and get on top of the point, and even end it outright.

Jak Beardsworth demonstrates how to keep the racket head elevated above the wrist at the net.
When already positioned at the net, as seen in the accompanying image, and also even when in transition and approaching the net from the back court, it's important to keep the racket head elevated above the wrist.
Too many players unknowingly allow their racket ready position to consistently be mostly parallel to the court surface - a placement more suitable for preparing to hit groundies - which typically leads to unwieldy, ill-timed swinging volleys that often end up being mishit or in the windscreen on the fly.
Racket-up triggers a smaller more compact prep - a take back path that saves time, enables a more easily maintained and better leveraged arm-racket shot making configuration, and allows for a better opportunity to keep the racket-on-ball impact well in front of one's body.
Simple. Better volleying 101.
Do your best. Always aspire higher. Love the game.

Wow. Okay. Hi. Long time no see, my dear followers. I haven't been blogging for about a month or so and I don't have an excuse.
So. Last week I went to Paris with some of my schoolmates. It was so fun and we've visited a lot of stuff all around the city. I've visited Paris about 4 times already but I still can't get enough of it. Due to the fact I'm a city girl my plans for now are to study in Amsterdam and live there as long as possible. Excited already!
Yes, I like feet.

DOOM:ONE is a new look on the classic first game DooM. Imagine, a game full of surprises, new secrets, and one continuous, fluid DooM. No loading screens, No waiting betweens levels... No breaks in the action. That is the aim of DOOM:ONE. I am working on a beta release version of the complete game. The 2nd version is available, which explains what I am trying to achieve here better than I ever could!!! I have found its best to play this with the Brutal Doom mod installed, however it is not required. This will be released as a PWAD that will work with GZDooM and Zandronum, due to the scripting involved in tying everything together. Please feel free to leave any comments or suggestions below!

I went with Sr. Catharine to the Sabatia Eye Clinic with seven of our children this morning. Those in need of any sort of eye help attend the clinic. Angela and David will make the referral and Catherine will drive a group over whenever there is a need. Sue has gone to the past few, but being that she is in Nairobi, I went along.
We left by eight and were there by nine. After a check-in the group was split in two. I went with the young kids to the low vision area and Catherine with the older ones to the doctors. I knew I was meant to accompany them into their consultations with the nurse, but I hesitated. I felt as if I was invading. My role was to hear about what was taking place so that the information can then be relayed to the therapists and Catherine for the sake of finance and care. However, I did not like sitting and eavesdropping, let alone asking questions about what was going on. It seems wrong that I should be there during an examination. Nothing personal was revealed, but I do not think that I should have been there.
Often, I feel as if I have inserted myself into the lives of the people living here. I choose to come here and have placed myself amongst the community. I was never invited. An out-of-place feeling is pervasive for this reason. Race and culture matter little. It is the fact that I am here because I can. I am here because of my relative wealth (more like thanks to my generous supporters). I have lamented my feeling of being an outsider, but today highlighted this feeling more than ever. I continue to be a guest who is allowed unfettered access to Malava. Being in the minority means that I get preferential treatment. I am now troubled by the guilt that I can always leave. I can decide today to go home and will be home by the end of the week. I have choice and am starting to resent the fact that I do.
I was told that I would return home with a great appreciation for all that I have. I have found that I appreciate many things but am repulsed by an equal amount. When limited in terms of availability of goods and finance, consumption becomes sickening. All the things that I cannot have are unnecessary. I fear the return to an existence as such.
Reconciling my anxieties with duty, we pressed on until about noon. We should have been done an hour earlier, but an inept nurse caused two of our kids to go back to the doctor due to her inability to perform a correct eye test with glasses. On the bright side, I did get to photograph some new flowers. The lighting was terrible and I apologize for sub-standard camera work, but it will have to do.
In the afternoon, I was semi-stranded at the compound when I had to print pictures for Joy and rain came. Thankfully, Sister Jane was kind enough to bring me some tea and groundnuts while I waited. When Joy arrived, she generously offered me a ride home.

At the GE2015 I stood in Brunswick Hall and debated the future of the NHS. I had read the book "The NHS for Sale". At the time it seemed a little unbelievable but now everyone sees the problem.
Recently I was in the audience at a BBC election event. Questions were asked and individuals replied. It is all so exciting but serious, it is the future for all generations that is being discussed. The real question is what kind of society we have and what do we want in the future. Empathy and understanding-its not difficult- and its not being selfish-health, education, transport and the environment -balance and equality.
I entered a competition set up by a parliamentary committee about a preamble to a written constitution and anyone who entered went to London to meet the Chair of the committee. See the photograph of the others who attended.

This is a lovely, mild chutney that goes well with cheese and as an accompaniment to pierogi.
You only need 5 or 6 beetroot to make a supply for the year (around 6 jars).
6 medium to large fresh beetroot
2 – 3 large cooking apples
3 red onions
1 garlic clove
1/2 pt vinegar (white or red wine vinegar, or mix)
1/2 lb demerera sugar
juice 1 lemon
1/2 tsp dried ginger
1 tsp salt
Step 1
Scrub your beetroot and cook whole in a pan of boiling water or a pressure cooker until soft when pierced with a knife.
Leave to cool until you can handle them and then peel off the skin and chop into 1cm size chunks (or smaller or larger if you have a preference for fine or chunky chutney!)
Peel and chop your apple and onion into small pieces. Place in a large pan with the cooked beetroot and the other ingredients, and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the liquid has reduced and the onion is soft.
Place in clean jars while hot, and screw on the lids. If you are going to eat up in a month or two it will keep fine like this, or to seal so that it lasts for longer place the jars lid-down in boiling water for 10 mins.

April 24, 2009 - Opti Inc., a technology company based in Palo Alto, filed a lawsuit against Apple in January 2007, alleging that Apple infringed Opti's patent for "Predictive snooping" – a method to more efficiently transfer data among the CPU, memory, and "other devices." Apple admitted using similar technology, but claimed that the patent was invalid due to prior art and obviousness.
The case was tried in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Marshall, where a jury found that Apple was guilty of willful infringement. Apple has now been ordered to pay $19 million in damages to Opti.

Product Description
The fifth major expansion to Carcassonne, Abbey & Mayor adds 3 new wooden piece types, 6 abbey tiles, and 12 landscape tiles. The Abbey tiles act as Cloisters but do not have to match adjacent tiles and they complete adjacent features when placed. Mayors can be placed only in cities, with their strength determined by the number of pennants in the city. Barns allow players to score fields during the game rather than just at the end. Wagons are placed on roads, cities, or cloisters, and can move to an adjacent open feature when their current feature is completed.

This is latest in a line of many expansions for this wonderful game of civil engineering and castle building. In this major expansion set we get new mechanics, new meeples!, and new strategies!!!!
This expansion really gives you your money's worth. First of all I have to give the casual player one caveat for this series. It's up to like 7 official expansions both minor and major, it has 6 or maybe it's 7 spin-offs, and the parent game that started it all has the most of everything, therefore I suggest you start small, buy the basic version, then after a while start on the expansions. There are so many new rules, meeples, expansions, and what not that if you played all of the rules and used all of the meeples from all expansions you're looking at a game that could potentially last 3 hours!!!! That's ok if you like that long of a game, but you really should slowly build up to that level. You don't want to overwhelm yourself at the beginning, with that said you'll also need this caveat as well. Don't get this expansion until you've had a chance to get ALL the others first, even though this is by far the best of the bunch (of the expansions that is).
This expansion gives us 3 new meeples, the Mayor (we call him the Pantalones guy because he's got on "big pants"), the Cart and the Barn. We played with all of the rules at first, but now we ignore the barn and use him for our scoring marker, actually each player has to cough up one meeple for the scoring track anyway, so I let each player decide for themselves, but usually we all dump the barn as it's a "single use" kind of thing anyway. Well, eventually you ARE GOING TO HAVE to get this, the orange "Super Unfudgie" tile (as we call it) can unlock your blocked meeple(s), and score you an extra 9 points. The Unfudgie has a Cloister within it, and if/when you deploy it AND if you have a meeple out you can score 9 extra points. This expansion is awesome, I give it 4 stars because it works great, brings in some newer tiles, some great new meeples, the cart is awesome too, and in general is an excellent addition to an otherwise excellent game. I don't recommend more that one of these, but if you're going to expand your Carcassonne, you can't go wrong with this one. The orange tile might cause you some trepidation at first but once you realize that it separates the 4 features it touches on all four sides your confusion will end.
Remember you can't UNFUDGIE yourself if you're not in the game!!!!
My girlfriend and i bought this expansion today and immediately started playing it. There are a few new additions, the abbey, the mayor, the wagon and the barns. We found the barns to be quite confusing and just add to the farming system and how confusing that can get.
One surprise however, was the Abbey. I found this to be quite an interesting little piece that adds a new element to the game. The Abby can be placed anywhere on the map as long as it is surrounded on the four corners, (not diagonals). This allows you to finish those pesky cities that just wont get finished.
They mayor and the wagon are both useful however they do not change the game too much. All in all i found this expansion worth the money as it does add some new exciting elements to the game, but definitely not necessary.

Joe Gilmartin, who was the Professional Basketball Writers Association's first president (1972) and wrote for the Phoenix Gazette, enters the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame today in Springfield, Mass., as the winner of the Curt Gowdy Media Award.
A former Suns beat writer, Suns broadcast analyst, columnist and sports editor, Gilmartin, 84, will receive the same honor Suns play-by-play announcer Al McCoy received on the broadcast side in 2007.
"Number 1, I'm astonished," Gilmartin told azcentral sports when he was told he'd won the honor in February. "Number 2, I'm pleased. Maybe they want to put me in for all the geezers from my generation."
Gilmartin's career began in Wichita and included more than 30 years as a columnist and sports editor for the Gazette. Along the way, he covered 15 NCAA Final Fours, including the classic 1957 semifinal when Wilt Chamberlain and the Kansas Jayhawks lost in triple overtime to North Carolina.
"I've run into a lot of newspaper men over the years, and to me, of all the people I've worked with, he always stood out," said Al Bianchi, who played in the NBA, coached in the ABA and NBA and occasionally occupied one of the hot seats behind a front-office desk.
"I've always marveled at Joe because he understood the game so well and could write about it with his subtle touch of humor.
"So even when he's killing you, he still makes you laugh."
Hall of Famer Connie Hawkins can attest to that. Gilmartin captured the flair and the frustration that was "The Hawk" during his playing days when he called him "a work of art — on some nights poetry in motion, on some nights, still life."
Hawkins once told Tom Ambrose, a former Suns marketing and media man, that it was one of the best lines ever written about him.
"He was hard on me sometimes like that, but he was trying to bring out the best in me," Hawkins told Ambrose for his book "Notes from the Wacko File!"
Gilmartin joined the Gazette in 1962 as assistant sports editor before becoming sports editor in 1963 and continuing to write a column until 1996. He was named Arizona Sportswriter of the Year a record 16 times
Also among those entering the Hall today are Alonzo Mourning, Nolan Richardson, Mitch Richmond, Gary Williams, Bob "Slick" Leonard, David Stern, Nathaniel "Sweetwater" Clifton, Sarunas Marciulionis and Guy Rodgers.

By Vasily Kharitonov
Diplomats from Ukraine, Finland, Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Switzerland, Egypt, the Republic of Korea, Nepal, Thailand and New Zealand have presented their credentials to the Head of the Belarusian state. "It's very symbolical that your responsible mission starts on the eve of our major state holiday — the Day of Independence. July 3rd is a sacred date for Belarusians marking the liberation of Minsk from Hitler occupation which has become a symbol of independence of the Belarusian state. Historical memory about firmness and heroism of our nation in the struggle against fascism and about countless victims brought to the altar of the Great Victory has united people while determining world outlook principles and moral values of the nation," noted Mr. Lukashenko while addressing the diplomats.
"Respect for the right of each nation to choose its own way of development, peacefulness and solidarity, alongside mutual understanding and collaboration, non-admission of dictation and unfairness are fundamental principles which are the basis of our life. These form Belarus' approaches in international relations while determining the foreign policy course of our young and sovereign state. Therefore, it's not accidentally that Belarus enjoys deserved reputation of a donor of regional and global security," added the President.
Mr. Lukashenko also mentioned activation of business life and the appearance of new spheres of mutual interests. "We're keen to expand contacts in various corners of the planet and to acquire new friends and partners. However, we especially value those whom we trust and co-operate while boasting good traditions of friendly relationships," underlined the President.
Mr. Lukashenko found words for each of new ambassadors. The tonality of communication towards the Ukrainian diplomat Mikhail Ezhel could be easily guessed taking into account the results of the recent official visit of the Belarusian President to this state.
"First of all, I'd like to emphasise our strong determination to foster ties with Ukraine — our closest neighbour and a very reliable partner. My recent official visit to Ukraine again confirmed our mutual engagement and commitment of our governments to constructively solve burning issues," Mr. Lukashenko stated.
"We agree with each other that we need to promote the political dialogue, boost economic ties and intensify the entire spectrum of the interstate co-operation. We should take into consideration new large-scale integration processes going on in the former Soviet Union republics," the Head of State believes.
Mr. Lukashenko noted that Belarus maintains an unwavering focus on collaboration with European countries. In particular, Belarus counts on deeper investment co-operation with Finland and Switzerland.
Finland is a key trade-economic partner for Belarus in North Europe. "We have many common points of coincidence, as well as an objective mutual interest in expanding co-operation across a number of areas. We'd like to raise Finnish investments and technologies in such promising areas as power engineering, woodworking, machine building, construction and the banking sector," the President said. He also noted that the existing contacts fall short of the real needs of the two countries.
Mr. Lukashenko confirmed that Belarus is interested in a full-fledged co-operation with Switzerland. "In recent years, business collaboration between our countries received a new impetus. A number of Swiss investment projects are being implemented in Belarus. Let the success of these projects contribute to the intensification of our contacts. We need to move forward. Promising co-operation areas include industry, science and innovations, financial ties, culture and tourism," the Belarusian Head of State added.
Belarus views Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro as promising partners in the Balkan region. "Your countries' commitment to close integration with the European Union should never be an obstacle for the development of mutually beneficial co-operation with our state. We are ready for expansion of relations in the areas of mutual interest and for enhancement of the level of contacts," asserted Mr. Lukashenko.
The Head of State stressed that Belarus and the Republic of Korea have always sought to engage in a constructive dialogue. Information technology has become this year's new theme of the bilateral dialogue. Belarusian government bodies have started a large-scale work together with South Korean partners on the implementation of the e-government project in Belarus. "I hope that our co-operation in the field of information technology will be long-term. Indeed, e-government is just one of many innovative areas that are of great interest to us. Being guided by this example of collaboration, we need to look for new projects. There are a lot of them, especially in the context of the modernisation programme that is underway in our country," Mr. Lukashenko said.
According to the President, Belarus is closely watching the events in Egypt and views the country as one of the key partners in North Africa, as well as an active and influential participant in the process of resolving the thorny regional problems. "I hope that by joint efforts we will be able not only to restore the previous level of bilateral ties, but also to go further, extending the scope of our trade and economic interaction," the Head of State stressed.
Mr. Lukashenko said that Belarus has been steadily increasing its presence in South East Asia, Australia and Oceania. "Staying committed to the selected course, we have been consistent in building up a constructive dialogue with every state of the region, among which is New Zealand. We have no disagreements that can hinder the development of trade-economic co-operation. We have issues of shared interest, particularly agriculture.
Mr. Lukashenko also stressed that an important vector of the Belarusian foreign policy in the region is the development of relations with Thailand.
Addressing the diplomats, the President said that at the beginning of their work in Belarus they will be convinced that Belarus is sincerely committed to respectful and constructive dialogue. "On behalf of Belarusian partners you will see commitment to constructive and productive joint work and readiness to resolve any urgent issues. Let relations with the countries that you represent become a good example of friendship and genuine business partnership," Mr. Lukashenko wished.

Proofpoint researchers recently uncovered a phishing campaign being launched from the popular job site CareerBuilder.com.
By submitting fake resumes (actually malicious files) in response to CareerBuilder job postings, the attackers leveraged the employment site's own features to deliver malware to victims.
"When a resume has been submitted to a listed job opening, the CareerBuilder service automatically generates a notification email to the job poster and attaches the document, which in this case is designed to deliver malware," the researchers explained.
"Rather than attempt to create a realistic lure, the attackers here have instead capitalized on the brand and service of a real site: the recipients are likely to read them and open the attachments because not only are they legitimate emails from a reputable service, but these emails are expected and even desired by the recipient," the researchers added.https://o1.qnsr.com/log/p.gif?;n=203;c=204660766;s=9477;x=7936;f=201812281312070;u=j;z=TIMESTAMP;a=20392931;e=i
What's more, the researchers noted, once a resume is received by a job poster, it's often forwarded to several others within the organization. "Taking advantage of this dynamic enables the attackers to move laterally through their target organization," they wrote.
The malware used in the attack, which exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in Microsoft Word, was built using the Microsoft Word Intruder Service (MWI), a crime service that builds malware for a fee ranging from approximately $2,000 to $3,000.
CareerBuilder addressed the issue promptly after being notified by Proofpoint -- but as the researchers noted, "All job search websites may certainly be susceptible ... to the same issue of being used as a proxy for delivering malicious attachments."
"Owners of career websites that accept resumes in any format, whether PDF or Microsoft Word, should always assume the content may be malicious and perform scanning prior to forwarding them to any customer," they added.
Tripwire senior security analyst Ken Westin told eSecurity Planet by email that phishing remains a top attack vector, primarily because it's still so effective.
"Attackers find creative ways to exploit our trust in brands we are familiar with either through making emails or websites appear to be associated with the brand, or finding ways to leverage the brand's own systems to deliver malware," Westin said. "This approach is tried and true as it provides attackers with a way into networks, even those that have strong perimeter defenses."
A recent eSecurity Planet article offered tips on how to avoid phishing scams.

The enthusiasm and participation are tremendous in Cedar Rapids. We've once again filled the workshop to the brim with diverse interests, backgrounds and the types of animals everyone is going to evaluate. St. Luke's Hospital has fully embraced the Delta Society program and their facility fosters the use of animals at every avenue.
St. Luke's rehab unit is something that a lot of hospitals would dream to have, you'd have to see it to understand. Today's class took a field trip up to the rehab unit and experienced animal assisted therapy first hand. Diane, and her Pet Partner Wrigley, are integrated into different tasks which we take for granted. When I spoke with a client, he commented on how much he enjoyed his time with the dog. A true motivational tool.
Not to over achieve but I also broke loose from the workshop and hammered out six Pet Partner evaluations with a majority of success. Thanks to everyone who put in that extra effort and passed.
We've got another day of the workshop to go on what happens to be "Super Bowl Sunday". Now that's truly a sacrifice. We've promised to wrapp up in enough time for most to be able to get in on the pre-game show.
