The German Government has donated six trained sniffer dogs and a Mercedes bus to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to boost the country's capacity to detect concealed drugs.
German Deputy Consul General, Alexandra Herr made the presentation in Lagos to the Director of Operations and General Investigation of the Agency, Mr Olugbenga Mabo.
Herr noted that Germany committed to assisting NDLEA officials with the tools to work.
She said,
"It is important to have the right tools to work and I commend the cooperation between Germany and Nigeria in combating drug trafficking through the aid of sniffer dogs. I am eager to see positive results in the canine operations of the Agency".
Mabo disclosed that the agency made 20 major arrests and seizures of banned substances with a combined weight of 17,432kg with the assistance of sniffer dogs since 2009.
He commended the German Government for the support and assured that the investment would translate into the dismantling of more drug trafficking syndicates in the country.
He said,
"Twenty major arrests and seizures of narcotic drugs comprising cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, ephedrine, and cannabis with a combined weight of 17,432kg were made with the assistance of the sniffer dogs since 2009. The contribution of Germany government has made a tremendous impact on the operations of the Agency at the airport, seaport and land borders. This additional support will ensure that more drug trafficking syndicates are dislodged" Mabo stated.

"Pay attention! Your life is not an endless series of open doors!
Listen to your heart! Do not stay on the surface, but go to the heart of things!"
– St John Paul II
However, lately, I had been comfortable with my messy life. I would frantically run to work in the morning, scamper to do my errands and slept scantily at night. I was at a loss! This cycle was slowly eating away my happiness. I needed direction. Get my stuff together. One night, while scrolling thoughtlessly on Facebook, I saw a post on Grace & Silence Retreat and believed this is the challenge I desperately needed!
We had to be silent all the time. The silence forced us out of our comfort zones. Often, noise is a means for us to run from ourselves. Silence enabled us to go within ourselves and find a remedy for stress and anxiety. Silence helped us focus on what is significant. (Tidings Magazine June/July 2017)
Sr. M. Rebecca, a Schoenstatt Sister of Mary, led us to understand Mary's free Yes to God. Mary's vocation came to her as a surprise. However, she was listening. She was in prayer. She heard God call her by name. Mary pondered and reflected carefully when the angel Gabriel said she was to be the Mother of Christ and did not rely on her emotion but thought about it wisely. God waited for Mary to choose His plan for her freely. As women, we are encouraged to discern God's plan for our lives like Mary and to respond "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." (Luke 1: 38)
It went something like "God, here are all my plans. Everything seems to be working out and falling into place. I want to check if this is Your will for me." However, be prepared to hear God's answer. He is full of surprises. We may find ourselves at a crossroad! Sr. M. Rebecca shared that crossroads are God's way of letting us act on our free-will; God humbles himself and waits for us to choose His plan.
During the silent time, we asked God what He would have us do. We wrote all of our fears on a journal; such as troubles at work, difficulties in our family and our relationships. After pouring out all our miseries to God, we prayed to the Holy Spirit and Mother Mary to be with us so we can open our hearts and pray: "Speak, Lord, Your servant is listening" (1 Sam 3:9)
Quoting Fr Robert Pelton, I heard "Jesus asking me to let go of regret and desire so that I could follow Him to that deeper place." He urged me to choose love again and again in spite of how weak I am, stained with sins, weighed down by troubles and sighing with sorrow.
Unexpectedly, St Therese of Lisieux' words gave me comfort and hope. Like her, I wondered why God had preferences; why He blessed others abundantly while many poor die without hearing His name. I was keen to know how God enlightened St Therese on this mystery.
The splendour of the rose and the lily's whiteness do not deprive the violent of its scent nor make less ravishing the daisy's charm. So in this world of souls, God's living garden, it pleases Him to create great Saints, but He also created little ones. St Therese saw even further: that God's love shines out just as much through a little soul who yields entirely to His Grace as it does through the Greatest.
We ended the retreat with Mass celebrated by Fr Anthony from St Francis Xavier Parish, Armadale. We were free to talk amongst ourselves and got our mobile phones back – cries of joy!
His love demands a reply. My rating: 10/10. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone who is willing to test themselves; to face the dreaded silence that our noisy modern society so despises.

Your best bet is custom-made curtains.
If you work with an expert who has years of experience with window treatments, you're sure to work with someone who knows how to measure your windows exactly for the best fit. This person also knows which materials work best for home curtains in Winnipeg, MB, where the weather can take its toll. For example, you'll regret buying those light and airy drapes when the wind chill hits minus-40 degrees Celsius in the winter and your heating bill rises.
Custom-made draperies are also much higher quality. Those you purchase in the store are generally put together on an assembly line. Consider who made the curtains as well. Were they overseas laborers toiling in a sweatshop to manufacture your home curtains in Winnipeg, MB? You don't want to support that. Rather, purchase drapes handmade by someone who treats their employees well, as this shows in the final product.
Finally, purchasing your drapery this way allows you to go to the showroom and discuss your needs. You will be able to pick out exactly what you want after some guidance on what will work best in your home. Once you've paid a deposit, your draperies will be handmade, which may take a little time but will be well worth it. Once they're ready, your home curtains in Winnipeg, MB will be installed by trained workers and backed by insurance to protect you against any damages.

The roadside stand is as popular a sight in rural America as the lemonade stand is in the city. Whenever someones garden produces a surplus of produce the farmers drag out an old card table, load it down with baskets of fruit and vegetables and slap a for sale sign in front of it. The very same roadside stand which you use to sell your additional fruit and vegetables can also be used to sell your excess honey that you have collected from your bee hive.
When you are getting ready to set up your roadside stand you must make certain that you have a sign indicating that you are selling honey. The sign needs to be simple. The letters need to be clearly printed with ink or paint the contrasts with the background of the sign making it easy to read at a distance. The sign really should be large enough that people driving past your stand can effortlessly read the sign as they drive by. Keep the writing basic, the sign you might be using to advertise your roadside stand is not the location to practice your writing abilities. People who trash their cars trying to read a long winded spiel on a piece of cardboard typically are not great buyers. Don't get cute and draw a picture of a bee on your sign, individuals could possibly misunderstand and think that you are warning them of a potential attack.
Before you set out your honey take a minute and examine it. Ensure that that the honey has been strained. There shouldn't be any dirt, clumps of wax or other foreign objects in your honey. Wipe the outside of the container with a clean damp washcloth and get rid of any indication of spills. Be sure that the container is dry before you expose it to dust.
If possible offer your buyers different forms of honey. Give them the chance to buy jars of honey that you extracted from the honeycombs and also invite them to buy a honey comb that still has the honey stored behind the wax plugs.
Display a variety of sizes of containers of honey. Some persons will be reluctant to buy big containers of honey since they're afraid that the honey will crystallize before they've an chance to use it.
Do not be afraid to market other products alongside your honey. Really feel free to sell cut flowers, sweet corn, or banana peppers. Unique foods, in a many different colors will give your roadside stand an artistic flavor and encourage shoppers.
If feasible attempt to set up your roadside stand in a shaded section of your front yard. The shade will make your produce appear fresher and will also encourage buyers to linger over the merchandise. In the event you notice that your merchandise is starting to look tired, replace it.
Should you be selling vegetables don't be afraid to spritz the vegetables with a mist of water. The vegetables and flowers will look fresher if they are occasionally watered.
Really feel absolutely free to mingle with your consumers. Clients are far more likely to make return trips to a roadside stand if the owner is cheerful and friendly.

A Bearsden teenager is hoping to raise £1,500 to participate in a project that tackles poverty in the Philippines.
Calum Johnston, a Bearsden Ski Club instructor, hit on the idea of baking and decorating Easter fruit cakes to help him reach his target.
So far the 19-year-old has raised £900 and is confident he can meet his target before he sets off to Cebu on April 24. Calum will be working on a 10 week development programme.
He will team up with fellow Filipino volunteers to tackle some of the problems facing the local community, after getting a place on the government funded International Citizen Service scheme (ICS).
Calum said: "It's vital I reach my target. I've put a lot of work into raising money while learning as much about the Philippines as I can. I'm hoping that everyone will give generously as a result of my effort.
"The project I'm working on is run by the development charity VSO and aims to promote the rights of deaf youth in the Philippines.
"This is a unique opportunity to work alongside people from a different culture who have requested help from young volunteers to fight poverty and make a difference where it's needed most. I'm really excited to get out there."
If you want to buy one of Calum's cakes for £10 send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
To sponsor Calum visit www.justgiving.com/Calum-Johnston1.
The ICS scheme allows young people aged 18-25 to contribute to long-term development projects in countries around the world, including Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone and Nepal.

Comp Time with Marissa Jones
Posted on November 11, 2016
Philadelphia, PA––The blockbuster success of the true-crime podcast Serial has spurred the glut of new crimecasts flooding into the stream over the last 18 months. Most have died a quick, unnoticed death. Others have hanged on until succumbing to their creators' lack of vision. It's easy to be a talking head. It's even easier to regurgitate what Nancy Grace squawked about the night before. Easier still is endless conjecture in the absence of an independently obtained fact. Audiences don't want to hear you read a newspaper. And Google News is not a teleprompter any more than you're a legal analyst… Continue Reading
Comp Time with Marcus the Karcus
Posted on July 7, 2011
One day in the mid-1990s, Marcus the Karcus, then 16, was flipping through a magazine in an underground bookstore when he came across some pictures of people hanging from hooks. Having always been drawn to the macabre, young Marcus was instantly mesmerized by the photos. "This is the world I wanted to be in," he recalls thinking. "It seemed like one of those things that only went on in big cities, not something that was accessible to me." Nine years later, Karcus, as he's generally known, began exploring body modification. One day while getting pierced, he noticed a picture on… Continue Reading
Comp Time with Federal Inmate Brent Delzer

Submitted Photo Tomorrow, Brent Delzer, 36, will begin what he hopes is only a four-and-a-half year odyssey at the very bottom. At 2:00 p.m., he's scheduled to turn himself in to federal marshals in Madison, WI, to begin serving a federal prison sentence. Last month, he pleaded guilty to an indictment alleging he was part of a marijuana trafficking conspiracy that lasted from 2000 to Nov. 8, 2004, the day his best friend and supplier, Amos Mortier, went missing. Mortier's disappearance sparked a massive federal drug investigation reaching across five states and into Canada. According to federal court documents –… Continue Reading
Comp Time with Ahmed Etemish
Posted on August 24, 2010
Ahmed Etemish, 27, has witnessed and endured horrors few can fathom, even as the soft-spoken Iraqi describes them in candid, unequivocal detail. For him, the bloodletting – first under dictator Saddam Hussein and then the insurgency that took root after the fall of Baghdad in 2003 – was merely a thread in the fabric of Baghdad's civic life. As he puts it, "[Iraqis] are used to blood and war." In 1971, Saddam, who then headed Iraq's network of secret police, imprisoned Ahmed's mother and grandfather in Abu Ghraib prison on suspicion they were working with the Iranian and Israeli governments,… Continue Reading
Comp Time with Repo Man Ray Crocker
Posted on May 18, 2010
Nashville, TN – Ray Crocker is a voice of reason in the otherwise chaotic and largely unregulated repossession industry. The mafia failed in the 1950s to bring repos into their rackets, but Crocker has watched over the last 25 years as tow-truck companies and auto auctions have not only low-balled professional companies like Crocker's, but have also caricaturized repo men as lawless renegades at the ready to strong-arm consumers. On the television show Operation Repo, situations based "on real life events" are re-enacted, depicting repo agents muscle-men wrestling property from owners using headlocks and mace. Nonsense, says Crocker, 62,… Continue Reading
Comp Time with Ret. Bank Robber Gerald Heckathorn
Posted on April 29, 2010
Arguably there are no greater heart-pounding conditions under which to travel than those that come with being a fugitive from justice. Just ask Gerald Heckathorn, who, in the early-1980s, went on an 18-month cross-country bank-robbing spree in his prized white Cadillac El Dorado. "I went everywhere, man" he recalls. "I was living large." That is, until the FBI zeroed in on him. Gerald was an unlikely criminal. Born to bohemian parents in the San Francisco Bay area, he rebelled as a teenager by going to war in Vietnam. Less than three weeks after arriving in Saigon, a Viet Cong kid… Continue Reading

Not unhappy, but restless, Davin left home at 18, bouncing from town to town across America. She landed eventually in sunny California, until Mother Nature sent her packing. She's been on the move ever since. "I like everything to be temporary and fluid," explains Davin, now 27. "That feeling like I wake up on a moving island rather than being stationary, I can't see myself ever getting tired of it." Now, as… Continue Reading

In Her Words
Persona Non Grata
Rubbing elbows with children
By: Janya Veranth
Before I had my son, I was pretty anti-kid. I liked children; I just didn't want to be anywhere near them. My husband and I always chose bar seating over restaurant seating to avoid hearing any squealing, crying, yelling or other kid-related sounds. We'd ask for another table if the one we were offered was within earshot of any children.
I had no patience for noisy kids where there should otherwise be silence, like movie theaters, libraries and especially airplanes. I'll admit I was one of the people whose heart sank and eyes narrowed whenever a kid got on my flight. And God forbid that kid should be sitting anywhere near my seat. I even went so far as to say that kids should not travel by air or eat out in public for the first several years of life, if at all. Those were just a few of my hard and fast rules about kids until, of course, I had one of my own.
Now I'm forced to reevaluate my stance on the subject–otherwise, I would be housebound for the next several years. I realize that parents want to resume some normalcy in their lives after having a baby and want to do the things they used to do before they were parents: go to parties, eat out and socialize with their friends. For some, a babysitter is just too expensive, and for others a babysitter just isn't an option. I want my son to be with my husband and me doing the things we like to do. Plus, he's still a mostly breastfed baby, and I am not willing or ready to leave him with someone else, no matter how much his grandma begs me to go out for just a few hours without him.
I'll admit I've learned the hard way that some outings must be put on hold. While I refuse to eat at any kid-friendly establishment that has human-sized mice singing and serving cheap pizza, I know that places with dim lighting and a wine menu aren't a place to bring a baby. Movies are off the docket for several more years until I am ready for a babysitter to come over and raid my fridge, ignore my kid and make-out with her boyfriend.
So to all the people who were on the receiving end of my cross looks and awkward stares while their kid was shouting, crying or piping-up in public, I do formally and sincerely apologize. I commend those of you who tried to shush your kid to no avail and then took him outside for the rest of his fit. For those of you who flew on the same airplane as me, I know you were just trying to get on with your lives, just trying to get from A to B in one piece. Next time I will smile at you sweetly when you're doing everything you can to keep your kid quiet. And to those of you who still allow me to be a part of your lives, who hang out with me and my baby and don't expect me to leave him with someone else, I am forever grateful. He's a part of me, a part of my life, and I'm not quite ready to cut the cord.

text: Our lives seem to be filled with challenges which seem to drive us back into a hole. These challenges can take the form of a fight with our spouses, problems at work, car problems, failed tests, sometimes these challenges come in much greater forms and sometimes they are many little ones. What ever form they take they seem to be designed by the enemy, the world to push us back and push us down. Our church has begun a saying "push back against the push back". Live life with a perspective of driving back the challenges with a fresh out look of being able to figure out a way to push forwards in Christ. When we stop looking for things and realize God already gave us everything, we will see life differently. Just a though tell me what you think.

The color families, developed by a committee of color trend specialists, are forecasted to be popular in the coming years based on global influences, pop culture, musical and design trends, technology, and fashion-forward color predictions. In conjunction with a well-known fashion design house in Milan, Italy, the groups of colors, in addition to textures, finishes and effects, are translated into seasonal design concepts, moods and lifestyles, each with a unique story to convey the emotions and context of the colors.
This year's color families reveal the trending colors of tomorrow based on the sounds of the past and present:
• Motown — deep tones of blue, with a green that is almost brown, are brightened with orange and rusty tones to provide a palette that is both edgy and mysterious.
• Techno — bold shades of hi-tech blues and futuristic greens are highlighted by neon yellow and brought back to earth by a subtle, golden beige. Funky and daring, this palette speaks to our inner geek.
• Festival — an airy taupe is contrasted by blazing shades of orange and red, and brightened by shadowy purples and violets in the vibrant palette, inspired by summer music festivals.
• Bossa Nova — harmonies of calm, refined greens and fluid, soft beiges reflect on the beauty of nature and lend to a calm, tranquil mood. Like an enchanting bossa nova melody played on a nylon-string classical guitar, this collection of gorgeous hues reminds us to appreciate the magnificent world around us.
• Lullaby — Reach-out-and-touch-me pastels are paired with cozy grays in this understated and comforting palette. Like a mother singing a lullaby to her precious child, this color assemblage wraps us in peacefulness and content.
• Concerto — A sophisticated palette comprised of soft, pale pinks, romantic peach tones, subdued blues and extravagant greens.
"These color palettes offer a world of inspiration and harmony," expressed Sydney Gardner, lead color trends specialist for Americhem. "By keeping up with the trends through Americhem's forecast, designers and product development personnel alike can benefit from learning the colors and the palettes that are sure to drive consumer preference in the years to come."

text: Nebraska Corn Board Urges Drivers to Take Extra Caution During Harvest Tweet Farmers and drivers need to take extra care on roads during harvest. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Associated Press Email Nebraska drivers and farmers are being reminded to be careful during harvest because large equipment and trucks will be entering and leaving fields. Tim Scheer is chairman of the Nebraska Corn Board. He says farmers will be working long hours to harvest their crops, and that can contribute to errors. But other drivers also need to be careful, especially in rural areas where traffic will be heavier than usual. And drivers should watch out for slow-moving agricultural equipment. Tall crops in the fields may also make it hard to see traffic at some intersections. Back to news

If I post any more Hungary pics on my blog, I will vomit. (if you want more, there are pics in my facebook album)
Our last day in Hungary, we walked to the railway station and took the train to budapest. GB loves this choc bar called Turo Rudi, which is chocolate coated cottage cheese. ewwwww. I don't like cottage cheese. I opted for a snickers bar instead.
I was warned that the train wasn't pleasant and only the poor took these trains. But I found it exciting, especially since I've never been on a proper rail train before. Took 1 hour to reach Budapest. Which is great, considering it takes us an hour plus to drive there anyway.
Yeah, the seats looked grotty, and halfway through, I even thought to myself, "Do I feel itchy because there are mites? Or is it just my imagination? Never mind, I'll just burn my clothes later if I have to." Anyway, having taken the train there and back, I can say that the trains are fab... and not that disgusting lah (no mites either). All Aboard!!!!
Hungarian meat platter... I didn't eat everything... yet I still smelled of garlic till the next day man, it was oozing out of my pores. Phwoah!
At Costa coffee place... (even though I ate bread in Hungary) I still didn't drink any coffee or hot drinks there... I don't think this will ever change...
The most colourful thing on the streets of Budapest that day. Oh well.
Climbed a shit load of wonky stairs to get to the top of a church which overlooked the city.
The view was well worth the climb. The church was named after the first King of Hungary, St István. He brought Catholicism to Hungary. And his severed right hand is kept it this church as some sort of relic (major EWWWWW moment for me).
I like the name István by the way. Pronounced EESHT-vahn. Maybe if I have a son one day, I might name him that ( I know.. I know... tacky! Maybe I'll just use it as a middle name). But it sounds like my father's name (Ivan), even though István actually translates to Stephan.
Then we stopped for Goulash and wine... (our 2nd month anniversay!!)
Then as the sun started setting, we continued our walk through Budapest...
Over the chain bridge...
Everything is so rich.. so opulent... not something you expect from a once communist country.
It was such a romantic night (if you overlook the fact that we rushed through some of it because we had to catch our train back!)
Autumn is a beautiful season...
The holiday is over.... :(
Flew back via KLM, with a short transit at Amsterdam. I love how GB puts his warm hand on me even though we're sat there reading our own stuff. Makes me feel so close to him.
Flew back via KLM, with a short transit at Amsterdam. I love how GB puts his warm hand on me even though we're sat there reading our own stuff. Makes me feel so close to him.
(Tip for men- try that move on your girl too, like a loving comforting touch that says I'm right here babe.. not a possessive grip of course)
Well, anyway.... I am back in Singapore today...
(p/s- thank you for sharing Hungary with me GB, bestest birthday present ever! ... so far... hur hur hur! Kidding! Really bestest!)
(p/s again- I know there's no such thing as bestest)
Ok thank you, bye bye.

Why don't health workers prescribe ACT? A qualitative study of factors affecting the prescription of artemether-lumefantrine
Abstract: Background: Kenya recently changed its antimalarial drug policy to a specific artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), artemether-lumefantrine (AL). New national guidelines on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention were developed and disseminated to health workers together with in-service training.Methods: Between January and March 2007, 36 in-depth interviews were conducted in five rural districts with health workers who attended in-service training and were non-adherent to the new guidelines. A further 20 interviews were undertaken with training facilitators and members of District Health Management Teams (DHMTs) to explore reasons underlying health workers' non-adherence.Results: Health workers generally perceived AL as being tolerable and efficacious as compared to amodiaquine and sulphadoxine-pyremethamine. However, a number of key reasons for non-adherence were identified. Insufficient supply of AL was a major issue and hence fears of stock outs and concern about AL costs was an impediment to AL prescription. Training messages that contradicted the recommended guidelines also led to health worker non-adherence, compounded by a lack of follow-up supervision. In addition, the availability of non-recommended antimalarials such as amodiaquine caused prescription confusion. Some health workers and DHMT members maintained that shortage of staff had resulted in increased patient caseload affecting the delivery of the desirable quality of care and adherence to guidelines.Conclusions: The introduction of free eficacious ACTs in the public health sector in Kenya and other countries has major potential public health benefits for Africa. These may not be realized if provider prescription practices do not conform to the recommended treatment guidelines. It is essential that high quality training, drug supply and supervision work synergistically to ensure approapriate case management.

Islington's Resident Support Scheme
The IRSS has been a godsend, and I cannot thank the team enough for the efficient and timely response that it provides.
Danny Hardie | Peabody | Financial Inclusion Team Leader | (Peabody is a partner organisation of the RSS)
Islington Resident Support Scheme (IRSS) is a local welfare scheme that replaces the old Social Fund and Cripplegate Foundation's Individual Grants Programme. It is managed by Islington Council. Cripplegate Foundation is a founding partner of the Islington Resident Support Scheme. We contribute to the fund and help in its development.
Vulnerable Islington residents who are in receipt of a means-tested benefit, including in-work benefits can apply for:
- household items
- help in a crisis
- help with housing costs
- council tax support
Applicants will normally be at risk of poor health, homelessness or family breakdown.
Cripplegate Foundation does not accept applications. If you want to apply for support, you need to contact your support worker, or speak to the large network of partner organisations and statutory services involved in the scheme, some of which are funded by Cripplegate Foundation. For a list of these see Islington Council's RSS page.
To a great many residents the IRSS has eased pressure in ways that are unexpected, and difficult to measure solely financially.
Danny Hardie | Peabody | Financial Inclusion Team Leader | (Peabody is a partner organisation of the IRSS)
Mary is elderly and has lived in the borough all her life. After a few years of poor health, she was struggling to get up and down the stairs. She was feeling increasingly isolated. Mary was allocated a ground-floor flat but most of her furniture was old and worn.
Mary's housing provider applied to the RSS for furniture for her new home. She also received a Discretionary Housing Payment to cover the rent deposit. Through the scheme, Mary was referred to Help on Your Doorstep for ongoing support and Islington Council's SHINE (Seasonal Health Interventions Network) for help to reduce her utility bills.
Thanks to the many organisations involved in the Scheme, residents are helped to find additional services and support that can all contribute towards making life easier.
Islington Council's Commitment
Although central government funding for local welfare schemes was reduced in 2014, Islington Council has remained committed to running a scheme that meets the needs of the most disadvantaged residents particularly those affected by welfare reform. It is now one of only two councils in England to increase its local welfare budget since 2013, adding 12% to support local people. The Council has used savings from other areas to support the Islington Residents Support Scheme. By consolidating waste management practices, it was able to make savings to complement the funding available for local people.

Announcement from
Dr. Ingrid Draper, Board Chair
Project Compassion Ministries
Dear Friends of Project Compassion,
Recently, the Board of Directors of Project Compassion Ministries took action designed to reposition and strengthen our ministry for the future. While change can be difficult, the Board is excited to lead the organization boldly forward so that our good work will continue to have impact for many years to come.
Specifically, Project Compassion Ministries has entered into a strategic alliance with Wellspring Lutheran Services. This alliance provides for Wellspring to provide strategic guidance and support, as well providing a part time Executive Director – Ms. Bridgette Boyd. Bridgette began this new role on July 24th. David Gehm, President and CEO of Wellspring, will work closely with Bridgette and the Board of Directors to assure strong support is provided.
Regrettably, this decision caused the Board to end its relationship with Eric Stenson, who will finish his official duties as Executive Director on August 7. No other staff changes are being contemplated at this time.
This strategic alliance with Wellspring will allow us to pursue important new initiatives, which include:
– Exploration of opportunities to reposition and ultimately expand our transportation services to the seniors of Detroit.
– Renewed and refocused relationships with congregations and other stakeholder groups with a focus on engagement and expanding volunteer opportunities.
– Important new collaborations and relationships within the City, enabling us to identify new partners and new opportunities for service.
Please pray for Project Compassion Ministries and all people affected by this important decision. The Board will provide updates as needed in the weeks and months ahead. If you have specific questions or comments, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or Bridgette Boyd at firstname.lastname@example.com.
God Bless.
Dr. Ingrid Draper

Do You Even Lift Bro?
The struggles of a college student who just wants to get swole
The following is dedicated to all the student lifters out there, especially those that commute. Keep on truckin.
- Waking up an hour before you have to leave to make sure you have time for the next two struggles
- Eating lots and lots of food. Although the last thing you would ever want to eat at 6 in the morning is steak and eggs, but that's what's on the menu. Gotta replenish those starving muscles after 6 hours of sleep somehow!
- 5 plastic containers full of meat and veggies later, you're ready for the day!
- Forever getting weird looks when you pull out your salmon and rice container in class.
- Never having enough free time to eat
- Backpack always smells like chicken
- Car always smells like chicken
- You question if you might actually be turning into a chicken
- Tuna breath
- Constantly drinking water
- Constantly going to the bathroom as a result of #10
- Your car is full of clothes, shoes, and supplements all the time
- Going to a class on the third floor of AB after leg day… 'nuff said.
- You drink coffee at 9pm to get you hype for your hour long workout that you so desperately need after being at school for 10 hours.
- Adding the stress of not seeing results to that of class and work.
- Stressing out about stressing out because stressing out adds body fat.
- Picking up every penny or nickel you see to add to the protein powder fund.
- Knowing that you have to give 110% at the gym when you only have 5% to give
But overcoming all of these challenges is worth it if it means staying healthy and staying fit!!

Broadway, Bexleyheath, 1912
Looking east from the western end of the Broadway, with Christ Church visible on the left-hand side.
The tram service began in Bexleyheath in 1903 and ran from the 'Plume of Feathers', Plumstead, through Welling and Bexleyheath to the Erith boundary at Northumberland Heath, with a short branch to the west side of the junction of Gravel Hill and Erith Road.
This branch was mostly only used for runs to the depot in the Council yard about 400 yards east of the Market Place.
The photograph was taken on 24th September 1912 by W. Strudwick.

"Neuroendocrine cancer is exceedingly difficult to manage and unlikely to be cured, but researchers intend to slow progression of these tumors and aid survival by personalizing patient dose of peptide-receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), according to research presented at the 2017 Annual Meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI).
"PRRT has become a treatment of choice for relatively rare and easy-to-overlook neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). The targeted treatment is designed to home in on and attach to peptide-receptor positive tumors, while sparing tissues that might otherwise be damaged by systemic treatments. However, researchers are still perfecting the practice."

In the previous post about snort, we were talking about what can this NIDS do for us as network administrators / security researchers in matters such as threat detection and blocking acting as a firewall or in other topics such as a subsystem in bigger threat detection systems, we were also talking about using snort as a tool for helping in the threat research process by parsing pcap files searching for malicious activities.
Also as you may have noticed, we were only talking about using snort for detecting traffic coming from outside our network to our machines, which makes a lot of sense if we are thinking about defending systems against remote exploits or protecting web applications. Today we're going to see how to use this program to peek inside traffic coming from our machines to outside. This case is particular useful when we are talking about malware analysis as the malware may use the network to connect to a command and control server outside, usually crafting its requests to look like legit http requests.
So we are going to start this series by analyzing the traffic obtained from the "Trojan-Spy.Win32.Noon" malware. I have to personally thank my collage Tatyana Shishkova from kaspersky lab for providing me with some really cool traffic samples to play with and some other rule examples to analyze 🙂
A first look into the pcap file
Right after getting our traffic sample we need to figure out what's going on there. You may take different approaches once analyzing the traffic and I don't consider my self a top expert on the field. One of these approaches if the pcap size ain't too big is to make a quick view over the packet to figure out which protocols are taking part in the session and then start scrolling and stop whenever interesting happens. For example if we look at the following pcap file we can easy see that we are about to work with a malware that uses http for CnC communications. So for example, we can start looking at the DNS queries that the malware does.
Here we see a couple of DNS queries, let's see where it goes:
Detecting malicious DNS queries
That malware is looking for brijvikastrust.com, after doing some RE and doing further analysis on the traffic and consulting different IoC sources we can be able to confirm that brijv… is an evil domain used as a CC server. So if we have that domain identified as evil, every software trying to communicate with it may be identified as a malware or an infected software. This will be our first approach on identifying and blocking the malware. Let's extract our domain signature for snort.
By simply clicking on the domain query on wireshark we can get a pretty simple example of what to tell snort to look for in a packet. So a quick filter may be something like:
alert udp any $home -> any 53 (msg:"Evil domain req."; content:"| 01 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 |"; depth:10; offset:2; content:"|03|www|08|brijvikastrust|03|com|"; nocase; distance:0; fast_pattern;
With that we tell snort to search inside UDP packets FROM our network to remote servers at port 53 then to look for a sequence of bytes such as "01 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00" which was extracted from our packet capture and can be found at the begining of a DNS query, then we specify that we have to look for that in the first 10 bytes at the second offset. Then we follow looking for the evil domain name, making no distinction between upper and lowercase, we search for that just right after the first match and with fast_pattern we'll search for that only if we have our first match. Fast_pattern is really useful for making things work faster and non-overloading our nids.
Examining the http traffic
But what if the attackers just move their CnC panel to other domain and re launch the campaign? We may think about doing a more in depth analysis to look for something more relevant and unique inside the traffic. As we saw before, this is an http connection so let's go and see what's happening there:
So we see that noon is trying to perform a GET request to some control panel hosted at that domain filling a parameter called id with some letters, numbers and symbols there. We can also see that right after seeing that GET req, we immediately see a close to the connection.
If you were playing with the previous post about snort, you may think that regex may be really good for this. Let's try to figure out a regex for matching this url:
Something like that may be helpful in a PCRE for triggering an alarm when that url is called. Let's figure out a snort rule now:
alert tcp home any -> outside 80 (msg:"looks like win32.noon"; flow:to_server, established; content:"GET"; http_method; content:"/?id="; http_uri; fast_pattern; pcre:"/GET \/[a-zA-Z0-9\/]+\/\?id\=/"; content:"Host:"; http_header;…
Here we can see that we look for tcp traffic going outside at port 80, going to the server and also looking for an established tcp connection (you may have any doubts, see this), then we start looking at a GET request, we do that by specifying GET in a content tag and right after specifying http_method, so snort will only search by GET requests now. Then we look for something that contains /?id= as a URI which looks pretty genuine and then if we find that match, we use a PCRE regex to match that URL. Finally we look for an http_header containing "Host:". Note that using fast_pattern here is pretty useful as we launch a regex right after.
With that rule we can easily detect that evil url.
False alarms
But, what if our client is trying to use a web application like this one:
We definitely get a false positive here. So we can try to solve that out adding more filters for preventing a false alarm match. By looking more on that http connection we can see that we see no Accept and User-Agent fields in the header and we see these it other legit applications so we may add something like:
content: !"Accept"; http_header
content: !"User-Agent:"; http_header;
We also may want to add something like:
content:"Host: www."; http_header;
To add mor precision. We dont add the full domain name as it may change from time to time.
Generating custom network signatures
So, another thing we may want to do and I recommend as a general strategy for research threats is to look at more pcap files and analyze them, searching for patterns.
If we look a little bit more we see:
So we see a file hosted at a folder from 2 chars to 5 and then our alphanumeric+simbols url calling at an id param.
content: "GET"; http;method content:"/?id="; http_uri; fast_pattern; pcre:"/GET (\/[a-zA-Z0-9]{2,5}){1,}\/\?id\=[a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.\+=\/]+ HTTP\/1\./"; content:"Host: www" and everything we saw before
We look for the folder where the panel is hosted and then we look for the malicious url making sure it doesn't target legit services.
And here we go with that! I'll be doing more related stuff.

ZHENGZHOU — The Belt and Road tourist city mayors summit opened on May 28 in Zhengzhou, capital of Central China's Henan province, highlighting quality urban tourism in the sharing economy era.
The summit, part of the international mayor's forum on tourism, focused on international tourism cooperation, tourism safety, sharing tourism as well as international tourism governance.
Li Jinzao, vice-minister of culture and tourism, called for strengthening international tourism cooperation and improving tourism governance, amid threats of ethnic conflict, terrorism and epidemic disease worldwide.
As the world's largest source of outbound tourists, China saw 130.5 million overseas trips made in 2017, up by 7 percent year-on-year, official data showed.
"Tourism can be a strong support for the economy, especially for cities along the Belt and Road, as the initiative has connected China and Europe in not only infrastructure, but also resources," said Zhu Shanzhong, executive director of the UN World Tourism Organization.
Jointly hosted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the UNWTO and Henan province, the event has attracted 95 mayors and representatives from 28 countries, as well as 39 Chinese mayors or deputy mayors.

connectivityA computer buzzword that refers to a program or device's ability to link with other programs and devices. For example, a program that can import data from a wide variety of other programs and can export data in many different formats is said to have good connectivity. On the other hand, computers that have difficulty linking into a network (many laptop computers, for example) have poor connectivity.

"Always the innocent are the first victims, so it has been for ages past, so it is now."
~ J.K. Rowling
Nothing is more innocent than a new-born baby, and there is no greater happiness than holding a baby in your arms. However, in the Ghouta region of Syria, a green agricultural belt surrounding the city of Damascus in the south and east, separating the city from the dry grasslands bordering the Syrian Desert, and providing its inhabitants with a variety of cereals, vegetables, and fruits for thousands of years, there was no joy and happiness when severely deformed babies were born after the chemical attack in Ghouta on August 21, 2013.
Although there can be many reasons for birth defects and there is no proof that the deformations were caused by the chemical attack in Ghouta, if there is the slightest possibility that these defects were indeed caused by chemical weapons, it should be investigated.
The pictures of the deformations are too awful, the pain and emotions impossible to contemplate. It is heart-breaking to look at innocent babies barely recognizable as human, and the thought that this may have been caused by chemical weapons also provokes feelings of outrage, of anger.
For the sake of humanity and justice, if there is any left in this world, for the poor parents of these babies, no matter how difficult this is to watch, the truth must be told, and the world must know who was responsible for the chemical attack in Ghouta, which may have caused the birth defects of these innocent babies.
In the final report of the United Nations Mission to investigate allegations of the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian Arab Republic, signed by Professor Ake Sellstrom, Head of Mission, and Dr. Maurizio Barbeschi, signing for the WHO component, and conveyed on December 13, 2013 by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to the UN General Assembly and Security Council, it is stated that the attacks of March 19, August 24 and August 25, 2013 upon Syrian government soldiers indicate that the rebels were in possession of sarin both before and immediately after the chemical weapon attack at Ghouta of August 21, 2013. It would have been virtually impossible for the rebels to acquire chemical weapons so quickly in late August had they not already previously been in possession of chemical weapons.
Furthermore, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) report challenged the US claim that Assad forces used chemical weapons in an attack last August, highlighting that the range of the improvised rocket was way too short to have been launched from government controlled areas.
In the report titled "Possible Implications of Faulty US Technical Intelligence," Richard Lloyd, a former UN weapons inspector, and Theodore Postol, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), examined the delivery rocket's design and calculated possible trajectories based on the payload of the cargo.
The authors concluded that sarin gas "could not possibly have been fired at East Ghouta from the 'heart', or from the Eastern edge, of the Syrian government controlled area shown in the intelligence map published by the White House on August 30, 2013."
Based on mathematical calculations, Lloyd and Postol estimate the rocket with such aerodynamics could not travel more than 2 kilometers. To illustrate their conclusion, the authors included the original White House map that depicted areas under Assad control and those held by the opposition. Based on the firing range and troop locations on August 21, the authors conclude that all possible launching points within the 2 km radius were in rebel-held areas.
In war, truth is the first casualty
~ Aeschylus, Greek tragic dramatist (525 BC – 456 BC)
We know that truth is the first casualty of war. We have seen it time and time again. Lies have accompanied every war. Our leaders lied to us in the run-up to the war against Yugoslavia, the US-led invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, the NATO war against Libya, the Western-backed terrorist war against Syria, the economic warfare against Iran, the destabilization of Venezuela, and the recent coup in Ukraine.
Although all the evidence point in the direction that it were the rebels who used chemical weapons, the news of babies in Syria born with birth defects coincides with a statement of the US Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Rose Gottemoeller, that Syria will have to take additional steps before achieving full compliance with commitments it made to eliminate its chemical weapons, thus creating the atmosphere that the government of President Bashar al-Assad is to blame for the birth of the deformed babies.
This distortion of the truth and the attempts to spoil the reputation of Syrian President Al-Assad come only weeks before the presidential elections in Syria, set for June 3. Regardless of the unwavering support of the Syrian people for their President, the Western elites and their allies will always refer to President Al-Assad as a dictator, and will spare no efforts to discredit him.
Any election which doesn't go the way the Western elites want, or is unlikely to go the way they want is automatically labeled a "sham" or a "parody of democracy," even before it is held. This is in order to delegitimize the victor, in this case President Bashar al-Assad, who can count on the support of the large majority of the people of Syria, who have suffered from the most heinous war crimes in the ongoing Western-backed terrorist war against them.

Beginning in July 2018, Google Chrome will label all websites without HTTPS encryption as "not secure" according to Google security article. Google has encouraged website owners to secure their websites using HTTPS encryption for quite some time but is now becoming more forceful in their security practices. Any site that has not taken the steps to ensure security will be considered "not secure" and face negative ranking effects as well as warning messages to users.
Search for your website on Google Chrome and check to see if HTTPS displays in the results. If your website is secure, HTTPS will show before your URL.
Google is planning to roll out the Chrome updates in separate phases, starting July 2018.
To provide users with safer website experiences, Google will begin flagging not secure sites beginning July 2018. This change will be implemented with the upcoming release of Chrome 68.
Google now considers secure HTTPS sites to be the standard. Beginning in September 2018, Google will stop displaying the green "secure" icon for safe websites in an effort to further show that HTTPS is the new norm.
(Image by Search Engine Journal)
In October 2018, Google will make its warnings for unsecure sites more prominent. Instead of simply reading "not secure" in the browser, Google will display a red warning icon alerting all users that the site they are visiting is unsafe.
(Image by Search Engine Journal)
Google has made it necessary to secure your website by converting to HTTPS. Choosing to not comply could lead to an increase in your website's bounce rate, a drop in organic ranking and potentially lower your sales and conversions.

Subject: Fish 2001 - Episode 1 Total Eclipse of the Moon!
Dear Freaks, Fishheads, Fans and the Company,
First of all a Happy New Year! It's late I know but life has been hecticated! Recording on Fellini Days proper starts tonight. A change in personnel you may have heard whispered is the case and Dave Stewart is back on the drum stool! Alan Brown retired after the Ireland trip. I felt that he wasn't experienced enough for the position and my hope that he would have learned quickly was misplaced. It was going to take a lot longer than I could afford for him to settle in and begin to contribute to the extent I needed. He admitted himself that he was stretched and struggling with the material and the depth of the styles required for the writing was lacking. He is a talented musician and I am sure our paths will cross again. Like Squeeky himself who was passed over on his first audition for the same reasons I am sure Alan will make a name for himself in the future. For now though I'm delighted to have Dave back with Steve and it should be pointed out that his decision to take part again was solely judged on his belief in the material. He is very excited at the new album and is even looking at the European tour in April as a strong possibility.
Wes arrived 2 days ago to find Elliot in bed with a kidney infection (he hadn't had a drink since New Year - we reckon that was the problem. He needs a pint of 80 to sort him out), Steve Vantsis in bed with severe flu and Tammi down with a bug! Ironically I was fine! :-)
Everyone apart from Bubs is better and drum sounds are being set up as I write this.
I'll fill in for the Tecky's on the Fellini Days site.
I'd arrived back from Ireland after an 18 shows in 20 days burn on the 22nd and as expected I was exhausted. I didn't get some semblance of togetherness and energy back until the end of the year and then it was onto the rollercoaster for New Year and Tara's birthday.
With the recording starting and a new i-Book to play with the fanzine write ups and the tales of Balkan and Irish exploits can hit the page and the Fellini site. There is a lot of footage to edit for the site as well as backing tracks and other stuff.
On the news front I am on "Never Mind The Buzzcocks" as a panel guest filming on the 26th February for a programme scheduled for transmission on March 16th. I am also acting in a short movie by Stephen McCole (drummer in YPGtBaRS, other roles in"Orphans",and with Bill Murray in "Rushmore") filming in Glasgow in March. The next major part is in "Seagulls on Speed" shooting immediately after the European tour winds up in late May. These dates are being put together now.
I decided to pull the idea of touring South America in March as I have not heard any concrete proposals from promoters since October and I had expected to have at least a contract by now. With a number of other European bands touring at the same time in the areas and venues I thought it better to once again postpone till the end of the year and allow us some extra time to concentrate on the album recording.
The "Sashimi" album is going into production next week. We were all delayed and caught up in different time shapes that meant the people concerned with setting it up have all been missing each other. The gig will be the full show from Posnan in Poland.
The Balkan CD is having to be edited in the next 2 weeks as I have to remove some language that tbh shocked even me! :-)
The Masque T Shirts have been delayed as I sent the batch we received back to the printers as I was unhappy with the quality. A new run is being set up. The Fellini T shirts are going out as they are ok apart from the site moniker being "Fellini Days.com! DOH!! TB Changed on the next run!
We now have stocks of "Toiling In The Reeperbahn" one of the previously deleted double CD official bootleg titles from 93 as a repressing. It contains early live versions of the Suits material and is priced at 10 pounds sterling including postage and packaging worldwide.
There are still copies of "Candlelight in the Fog" available.
The last piece of news is that Karen Cowen has resigned from the office and leaves in 4 weeks to set up an internet site for local East Lothian artists.
I have decided to make the available position a full time post and am looking for a person with good computer skills, office management experience and organisational skills, the ability to deal with the mail order service and general fan club duties as well as act as my personal assistant in the office. Own transport is essential. Anyone seriously interested please e me.
Well last night was a perfect eclipse of the moon and over Scotland the skies were icy clear.
A good omen for the beginning of the Fellini sessions.
"I hear the sound of distant drums........"
more later
lots of love

SEATTLE – The trial of an oil truck operator charged with orchestrating the killings of two business rivals competing for work in North Dakota's giant Bakken oil patch was slated to begin in January after the man withdrew his guilty plea, his lawyer said on Thursday.
In a September plea agreement, James Henrikson admitted to an interstate murder-for-hire plot to kill Kristopher "KC" Clarke in February 2012 in North Dakota and Douglas Carlile in December 2013 in Spokane, Washington.
Henrikson withdrew the plea last month after a judge ruled he was not made aware of the mandatory minimum penalty of life imprisonment his crimes carried prior to entering the plea, court documents showed.
Henrikson has now pleaded not guilty, his attorney, Todd Maybrown, said. The trial was slated for Jan. 25 in Richland, Washington.
Henrikson faced murder-for-hire and conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, among other charges, in alleged plots against several people he viewed as an impediment to his enterprises, as well as conspiracy to distribute heroin, court documents said.
Three men accused of carrying out the contract killings pleaded guilty to a host of federal charges in September. They could face between 12 and 30 years in prison when they are sentenced.
Maybrown, Henrikson's attorney, said the men have filed a motion to continue their sentencing hearings, which were previously scheduled for Friday, though he did not know when the court would set new sentencing dates for each.
In related news, Henrikson withdraws guilty plea in murder-for-hire case.

Back in the day, there was a pretty clear boundary between kids and the rest of the world. Parents or teachers acted as the gatekeepers of what a child was or wasn't exposed to and was able to introduce various topics when everyone was ready to handle them. Today, though, everyone has access to everything at all hours of the day, whether we like it or not. Even the most strict parents who restrict time on the internet and subscribe to extremely stringent content filters on their TVs and computers are rendered powerless against the influence of the child's peers, whose parents may not be quite so vigilant.
Because children have assumed the agency of experiencing all the craziness that is our modern political arena, society, etc., kids may come to parents or teachers with some really difficult questions that take adults off guard. Naturally, some adults may dodge the question and tell the child not to worry about it or to mind their own business. What a squandered opportunity! Whereas a child came to you as a trusted source, you've turned them loose on their peers and the internet to figure out an answer.
Rather than shoo them away, read some ways you and the child can navigate some of those tough questions together on Noble Newman.com
