At least 25 National Health Service hospitals in England have been hit by ransomware, malware that locks down computers and networks until the victim pays up a ransom in bitcoin, according to the BBC.
When a hospital network is hit by ransomware, patient data becomes encrypted and inaccessible. If the ransom isn't paid in time, the virus automatically deletes the files, which can cripple hospitals and be devastating for patients.
Ransomware attacks on hospitals are nothing new. In fact, an NHS hospital system was hit by ransomware just six months ago. Ransomware attacks have proved repeatedly effective against hospitals, which has led to something of an epidemic of the practice. In February 2016, a hospital in LA paid $17,000 to unlock its files. In April 2016, the US and Canada governments issued a warning noting that ransomware attacks had hit hospitals in the US, Germany, and New Zealand, and advised on how to protect networks against them. Reports of similar attacks on hospitals and healthcare networks date back to at least 2014.
Ransomware is typically spread by sending a seemingly legitimate email to an employee of the organization being attacked. That employee clicks a malicious attachment inside that email, and boom, they've been hit by ransomware. From there, the ransomware will spread, infecting other computers connected to the same network. Hospitals can struggle to provide even basic care like prescription refills when they can't access patient data. When NHS Lincolnshire and Goole was attacked six months ago, it had to divert patients waiting for surgeries and organ transplants to other NHS hospitals.
Ransomware attacks have proved repeatedly effective against hospitals
Ransomware is a popular type of attack in general, but any ransomware target that puts people's health at risk, increasing the urgency of payment, seem to be attractive for hackers. Security experts have warned about ransomware attacks on medical devices and the FBI has cautioned about hackers targeting emergency services.
In other words, NHS absolutely should have seen this coming. At least a dozen hospitals in the NHS system have been targeted by ransomware attacks dating back to 2012, Motherboard reported. In those cases, the hospitals did not pay ransoms because they were able to recover their data from internal backups.
That wasn't the case this time. As of this writing, the ransomware that hit the NHS is "spreading like hell" across 11 countries, security researchers said. At least one NHS hospital is reportedly unable to accept new patients as result of the hack. As a result, hospitals are paying up. The blockchain, which records of all bitcoin transactions, shows that the hospital hackers received two payments of about $270 in bitcoins this morning.
Hospitals are prime targets for hackers spreading ransomware because in many cases, they have no choice but to pay up as fast as possible or risk the health or lives of patients. But paying ransom to hackers is not a sustainable strategy. If hospitals simply pay up, more hackers will be encouraged to hit them up for more money, more frequently.
Ransomware isn't some unheard of, deeply complex problem that the NHS isn't equipped to handle. So why hasn't the NHS secured its networks? The NHS didn't respond to our question about why its network was insecure, but said in a statement the the issue was ongoing and that "across the NHS we have tried and tested contingency plans to ensure we are able to keep the NHS open for business."
To secure against ransomware attacks, hospitals should follow the same basic guidelines that are used to secure against any type of cyberattack. To start: Back up critical data regularly and often. Isolate backups from the network so they cannot be affected by ransomware. Take steps to prevent malicious software and unapproved programs from running on machines on the network. Keep all systems up to date with new software releases and patches and use anti-virus software. Restrict permissions so users only have as much access to the system as they need to do their jobs. Train staff on how to avoid being hacked.
NHS put patients at risk by failing to mandate a stricter computer security policy for the hospitals it operates. Hospitals need to prepare for ransomware attacks, or sooner or later, someone will die.

"Robert Burns"Завантажити презентацію
Презентація по слайдам:
Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a light Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these his political or civil commentary is often at its bluntest. He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement, and after his death he became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism, and a cultural icon in Scotland and among the Scottish Diaspora around the world. As well as making original compositions, Burns also collected folk songs from across Scotland, often revising or adapting them. His poem (and song) "Auld Lang Syne" is often sung at Hogmanay (the last day of the year), and "Scots Wha Hae " served for a long time as an unofficial national anthem of the country.
Burns was born two miles south of Ayr, in Alloway, South Ayrshire, Scotland, the eldest of the seven children of William Burnes. He was born in a house built by his father (now the Burns Cottage Museum), where he lived until Easter 1766, when he was seven years old. William Burnes sold the house and took the tenancy of the 70-acre Mount Oliphant farm, southeast of Alloway. Here Burns grew up in poverty and hardship, and the severe manual labour of the farm left its traces in a premature stoop and a weakened constitution. He had little regular schooling and got much of his education from his father, who taught his children reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, and history and also wrote for them A Manual Of Christian Belief. After a few years of home education, Burns was sent to Dalrymple Parish School during the summer of 1772 . By the age of 15, Burns was the principal labourer at Mount Oliphant. During the harvest of 1774, he was assisted by Nelly Kilpatrick , who inspired his first attempt at poetry, "O, Once I Lov'd A Bonnie Lass". In the summer of 1775, he was sent to finish his education with a tutor at Kirkoswald, where he met Peggy Thompson ,to whom he wrote two songs, "Now Westlin' Winds" and "I Dream'd I Lay".
Despite his ability and character, William Burnes was consistently unfortunate, and migrated with his large family from farm to farm without ever being able to improve his circumstances. His earliest existing letters date from this time, when he began making romantic overtures to Alison Begbie . In spite of four songs written for her and a suggestion that he was willing to marry her, she rejected him. During this time he met and befriended Captain Richard Brown who encouraged him to become a poet. He continued to write poems and songs and began a commonplace book in 1783, while his father fought a legal dispute with his landlord. The case went to the Court of Session, and Burnes was upheld in January 1784, a fortnight before he died.
Literary style Burn's style is marked by spontaneity, directness and sincerity, and ranges from the tender intensity of some of his lyrics through the humour of "Tam o' Shanter " and the satire of "Holy Willie's Prayer" and "The Holy Fair". Burn's poetry drew upon a substantial familiarity with and knowledge of Classical, Biblical, and English literature, as well as the Scottish tradition .Burns was skilled in writing not only in the Scots language but also in the Scottish English dialect of the English language. Some of his works, such as "Love and Liberty" (also known as "The Jolly Beggars"), are written in both Scots and English for various effects. The strong emotional highs and lows associated with many of Burns' s poems ,to suggest that he suffered from manic depression—a hypothesis . Statue of Burns in Dumfries town centre , unveiled in 1882.
Failing health and death As his health began to give way, he began to age prematurely and fell into fits of despondency. The habits of intemperance are said to have aggravated his long-standing possible rheumatic heart condition. His death followed a dental extraction in winter 1795. On the morning of 21 July 1796 Burns died in Dumfries, at the age of 37. Through his twelve children, Burns has over 600 living descendents as of 2012.

FB Long Term
Facebook has dominated, today is their 4 year anniversary of their IPO ...they have not added LIVE video this is the future. I am in on FB and think long term this is a big winner. You can look for buy opportunity around the up trend line . Use the weekly chart to find that area and look for corrections to ad to position or wait until it collapses. Remember this is a long bull and thus I don't trust is..I want to see a health correction and then AMZN , FB , are two of my expected long term winners although price is high now they are building world wide value and once you build the list then it is about monetizing it.

The Affordable Care Act is being criticized for mandating access to contraception. As a Catholic, I am aware, although I do not agree, with the Church's stand on birth control. Providing access to birth control is not the same as mandating its use. It simply gives women the choice of whether to conceive or not. It should be plain to all that if you don't believe in abortion, it makes sense to ensure as many women as possible have access to contraception. Failure to do so increases the number of abortions and children born to parents who cannot afford to care for them properly.
With so many Americans living below the poverty line, I struggle to understand the mentality of conservative politicians as they slash away at food stamps, housing assistance, Head Start programs and subsidized child care for the working poor. In spite of their opposition to abortion, it does not appear that they truly believe in the sanctity of life. If they did believe life is sacred, they would be fighting to ensure every citizen, at a minimum, has a roof over their head, enough to eat and access to healthcare. If all Americans are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, doesn't that mean they are entitled to at least those things that are necessary to sustain life?
As far as the healthcare debate is concerned, the question the American people should be asking themselves, isn't "how can we afford to pay for universal health care?" It is "how in the name of God and conscience can we continue to refuse to do so?" Something most other civilized nations understand. No wonder the rest of the world looks at this country and shakes their heads.
When conservatives finally succeed in repealing the Affordable Health Care Act, and I believe it will be eventually repealed, I doubt their priority will be replacing it with a better plan to provide quality healthcare to all Americans. Instead, they will turn their attention to dismantling Medicare, the most successful and least costly healthcare program in the nation. The voucher system they are proposing will undoubtedly be structured to channel billions of tax dollars to insurance companies. Once this is accomplished, they will move on to their stated goal of privatizing Social Security. An idea those on Wall Street have been salivating over for decades.
Greed reigns in America and the only thing that is cheap is human life.

Jonathan immediately bonded with him and trusted him to help him even on the monkey bars. I got some great pictures of Uncle Bill and the children.

According to a report in the Laconia Citizen, New Hampshire state reps Beth Arsenault and Gail Morrison, and County Attorney Jim Carroll have tossed their support to Barack Obama.
I don't think there was ever a possibility that these local politicians would support Hillary: they are friends with and surrounded by an ABC (Anybody But Clinton) contingent, starting with Beth Arsenault who came out against Hillary even before Hillary set foot in New Hampshire as a candidate, and Gail Morrison, close friend of anti-war activist and Belknap County Democratic Chair, Lynn Chong, who is supporting Edwards.
Most disappointing is Gail Morrison's decision. She is a friend of a friend and I am told she is very well respected, bright, humane, a very nice woman. I guess even good people make bad choices.
Could Hillary have used her help? Sure. Does it make any difference that she is not getting it. Nope.
If Hillary runs into problems over the next few months it won't be because Chong, Arsenault, and Morrison, are working for someone else.
The real sharks in the waters are people like Bob Novak and the Arkansas Loonie Tunes, who have the unrelenting passion and money needed to wound Hillary. Novak, as you know is spreading stories about Hillary's "Dirty Tricks," a la Richard Nixon.
They say an elephant never forgets. The elephant, of course, is the symbol for the Republicans. Hillary worked as an attorney on the Nixon impeachment, and many conservatives still do not know what all that fuss was about, and believe Nixon was treated unfairly. Even though it has been some 35 years, that angry white Republican elephant (aka Bob Novak) has neither forgotten nor forgiven. Novak must be enjoying the potential historical symmetry if he can catch Hillary at the same dirty tricks that destroyed Richard Nixon.
Sorry, Bob, you are going fishing and pulling up nothing but weeds. The Clintons are too smart for you. They have proved that over and over and over. To make any progress against them, you will have to lie, make something up. Is revenge worth a perjury conviction, Bob?

- Freight Terms and Conditions
Freight Terms and Conditions
We take all precautions to ensure our boards are packaged adequately. The first step we take is to thoroughly examine the Board and/or accessories to confirm they are defect free before packaging. We then make sure the fins and/or accessories are in the box and then conduct a signed off. We will then take drastic packaging measures to protect the board. This includes ensuring that the boards are all heavily bubble wrapped, hard cardboard is applied to the rails, tail and nose and additional cardboard pieces applied to the nose and tail for further protection. The boards are then placed into a solid cardboard box. We then fill the empty spaces in the box with bubble wrap and cardboard to reinforce the board. Once ready for shipping, the board is collected at the warehouse.
Freight – Warning: Risk Passes with property
Selecting the right courier agent is paramount to the protection of your Good(s) while in transit. It is understandable that this choice may not be so easy when each freight company offers different services, some with strengths and some weaknesses. However, to try to assist each customer in this important decision, TSBW Pty Ltd (The Surfboard Warehouse) has sourced two of the most reliable, efficient and secure freight companies for you to consider. Alternatively, you can organise collection by a freight company of your choice and provide us with their details.
Whatever your decision, TSBW Pty Ltd highly recommends that all customers consider taking the time to compare your agents. This may include, but is not limited to:
- Checking and comparing the courier's lead times;
- Checking and comparing the company's capabilities such as GPS tracking and inventory management;
- Investigating all insurance details of each company;
- Confirming the communication processes; and
- Identifying the depot locations.
In doing so, you will be able to determine the right courier company that accommodates your needs. It would be time well spent to ensure that your agent delivers your Good(s) to the front door safe & sound.
Please be mindful that by selecting your choice of courier, it indicates that you agree delivery to you will occur when TSBW Pty Ltd place the Good(s) in the possession of your carrier. Title and risk of loss or damage with respect to your Good(s) will transfer to you upon delivery. For this reason we strongly recommend that you either independently arrange for the insurance of your Good(s) for their full value or purchase TSBW Pty Ltd's Transit Insurance before you checkout.

Accepting delivery
The Surfboard Warehouse ensures all boards shipped are inspected prior to delivery and are packaged with clear handling guidelines.

By attesting your signature you are confirming possession and accept your Good(s) as received. If you are unable to thoroughly inspect your Good(s) upon delivery, it is recommended that you clearly write "S.T.I" (Subject to Inspection) under your signature.

Christmas Delivery
The Surfboard Warehouse ensures a timely turn around on the packing and distribution of all orders during the busy Christmas season. However due to the use of third party freight companies we cannot (solely) guarantee Christmas delivery for any orders that are placed in late December.

As previously stated, we will endeavour to process all orders in a timely fashion and as productively as humanly possible. We appreciate your patience during the festive season and wish you a very Merry Christmas.

Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, president of the NC NAACP, will join speakers from the Forward Together coalition partners at a rally and press conference today outside the Governor's Mansion in Raleigh to call for Gov. McCrory and his administration to meaningfully demonstrate their commitment to our environment, to our health and to transparent government.
WHO: Sponsored by the NC NAACP, NC WARN, Greenpeace, ProgressNC Action, Action NC, Clean Water NC, North Carolina Students for Climate Action, the Roger-Eubanks Neighborhood Assocation and a coalition of concerned environmental, social justice and good government activists
WHAT: Rally and press conference
WHERE: Across the street from the Governor's Mansion
200 N. Blount St.
Raleigh, NC 27601
WHEN: Wed., March 5
Rally at 4:45 pm
Press conference at 5pm
Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. Its members throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities. The NC Conference of NAACP Branches is 70 years old this year and is made up of over 100 Adult, Youth and College NAACP units across the state, convenes more than 160 members of the Historic Thousands on Jones Street (HKonJ) People's Assembly Coalition, and is the architect of the Moral Monday & Forward Together Movement.

Fianna Fáil accuses Hayes of 'borrowing Phil Hogan's clothes'
Fianna Fáil has accused Brian Hayes of "borrowing the clothes of Phil Hogan" after Fine Gael's director of elections described the party as "still the enemy".
Mr Hayes told yesterday's Irish Independent that Fianna Fáil was "clueless" on the economy and "flirting" with Sinn Féin about the prospect of a coalition government.
He also said Micheál Martin's party was "incompetent" and Fianna Fáil supporters who 'lent' their vote to Enda Kenny in 2011 should stick with him for another five years.
In response, Fianna Fáil's Justice spokesman Niall Collins said the Dublin MEP was displaying a sense of arrogance.
"We all know Brian Hayes is over in Brussels. He's probably spending too much time with Phil Hogan because he is taking to adopting some of the quotes of Phil Hogan at the previous election," Mr Collins said.
"I think he is really out of touch in terms of the mood of this country and in terms of what he is saying in the article...first of all is hugely arrogant, the way he is addressing the public.
"The public and Fianna Fáil voters who switched the last time, it is a case of 'fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me'.
"Genuine Fianna Fáil supporters and people who are switching back to us aren't going to be fooled by Brian Hayes on this occasion borrowing the clothes of Phil Hogan."
Mr Collins said that while Fine Gael might take "comfort" from a weekend poll that put them on 31pc, "from far leafy suburbs of Brussels, he should look at the other data, because there are about 66pc, two-thirds of the public, dissatisfied with the Government".
Fianna Fáil Senator Darragh O'Brien added: "He believes a lot of what he says himself. The problem that Brian has is very few people believe what he says."
Mr Hayes said he believed Fine Gael was on course to reach about 35pc on polling day and be returned to government with the Labour Party.

Thread: Apple LCD backlight
07-01-2005, 09:36 AM #1jlbullockGuestApple LCD backlight
I have an Apple 23" HD Cinema display. The upper half of the screen is dim and flickers. I have tested the backlight inverter and it is ok. It appears to be the upper backlight tube. Has anyone replaced the backlight tubes successfully? It seems that moniserv.com sells the tubes and claims it is an easy replace. Any ideas? Thanks.
UPDATE: The ccfl tubes arrived from lcdpart.com. Taking apart the monitor I found a cold solder joint had broken on one of the upper tubes. This monitor has six (6) tubes not four. Replaced the three upper tubes. They are very small in diamter and the wiring is tiny. With care it was possible. The tubes, as advertised were an exact fit. Puting everthing back together I was rewarded with a working montor. It is fiddly, but, with care, it can be done at home.

The 22-year-old American made his debut for the MLS club as a second-half substitute in last Sunday's 4-0 defeat at Orlando City SC.
The LA Galaxy will be bidding to snap their five-game winless streak when they host Owen Coyle's Houston Dynamo on Friday night, in a match which newboy Sebastian Lletget is hoping to earn his first start for the MLS Cup holders.
Lletget, 22, completed his move from West Ham United earlier this month, before making his Galaxy debut as a 69th-minute substitute in last Sunday's shock 4-0 defeat at Orlando City SC.
The midfielder was unable to make much of an impact during his cameo, as Kaka-led Orlando dominated an LA side missing regular starters Robbie Keane, Omar Gonzalez and Robbie Rogers, but he is hoping to get the chance to show his worth for the visit of Houston.
Speaking to lagalaxy.com, Lletget said: "I believe I am [ready to start]. I always believe that I'm practicing really hard. Obviously, coming in the middle of the season, I do need to do a little bit of catch-up in terms of philosophy and our style of play, but I think that I'm ready."
The Galaxy could certainly do with a spark in the attack for Friday, especially if star man Robbie Keane fails to return from the groin strain which has forced him to miss the past seven games.
However, having seen little competitive action before arriving in LA, head coach Bruce Arena believes Lletget might need to wait a bit longer for his full MLS debut.
"He needs more time," said the former US national team boss. "But it was good to get him out on the field for the first time."
After winning three of the past four MLS Cup titles, LA have gotten off to slow start to the 2015 campaign without the now-retired Landon Donovan, taking just 14 points from their first 12 games.
Most expect the impending arrival of Steven Gerrard from Liverpool to solve their problems but, until then, it will be up to the likes of Lletget to attempt to fill the void left in the midfield.
The former US Under-23 international managed just one first-team appearance during his five seasons at West Ham, having suffered with various injuries, but he has been a well-regarded prospect for some time and one who could prove a big hit in MLS if he can remain fit.

Why So Many People Are Afraid to Quit Jobs They Absolutely Hate?
Making the decision to walk away from a secure job in tough economic times can be daunting even when you are not too crazy about your job. Quitting a job inevitably leads to change, and to many people change can be paralysing.
But we must know that success is mainly limited by our own beliefs.
Your desire to create a lifestyle of freedom MUST be bigger than the reason why you are still stuck in your current situation today.
Your willingness to free yourself has to be larger than your limiting beliefs and excuses.
So why would people get up every morning for 20,30 40 years and put up with the torture and torment of doing a job they absolutely dislike
- Fear: Fear of letting go of a steady pay check, fear of failure, fear of being judged by family and friends, what if new venture doesn't work out? fear of doing something outside the society's expectations.
- Excuses: Not enough time, not enough money, no skills or experience to start something new.
- Comfort Zone: Too many people are too comfortable in their comfort zones, not wanting to take risks, are full of self-doubt, filled with I am not good enough thoughts and are driven by guilt. We all know that there's no magic in comfort zone but we allow to be held back by our comfort zones.
The truth is there will never be perfect conditions, the perfect day, the ideal time when the universe will align all the stars for you to take the leap.
The key is to start when you are not ready, the secret is to feel the fear and do it anyway.
We are conditioned to spend too much time analyzing the pro and cons, the whys and the how's instead of learning to fail fast, trusting our intuition and take the leap.
You could continue in your current corporate grind, working the long hours, moving role to role for the next 20,30,40 years, earning a modest pay rise from one performance review to the next.Living for the weekends, playing the office politics day in day out and living pay check after pay check.
OR you could explore a world of FREEDOM and live life in your own terms where you are in total control of your time, income and lifestyle.
The good news is you can take advantage of today's digital economy. There are more than 2.5 billion people online daily, which means you could have an unlimited customer base and build a location-independent, lifestyle based online business.
With little or no prior business experience you can use today's advancement in technology to acquire new skills and learn how to generate multiple income streams, become profitable in months instead of years.
And the great news is you can start a new business venture part time and create a lifestyle of absolute freedom.
Are you ready to take the leap?

Sarah | More Than AdoredReplies
That's so kind, thank you! I really love The Falsies, I haven't used anything else for years now! xDelete
I've seen lots of posts on the Bourois Velvets recently. The general consensus seems to be that they last forever but you need to have really moisturised lips.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to try them! Re-applying lipstick every hour at work is a pain and I'd love to find something that just STAYS! This is a great shade on you as well :) x
Katy | Little Miss KatyReplies
Yes, definitely! My lips are normally quite dry, so I don't think me & matte products are ever meant to be *sob* but the colour really does last very well, it's just a shame that the smooth/moisture 'velvet' feeling doesn't! xxDelete
I reckon the matte lip really suits you! That colour also really goes with your eye colour - such a beautiful shade of blue, you lucky girl!ReplyDelete
Tamsin xx | A Certain AdventureReplies
You're so, so sweet :) thank you! XxDelete

Leicester City's Argentine striker Leonardo Ulloa is aiming to follow in the footsteps of fellow countrymen Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez in becoming a certified Premier League star.
Leicester City striker Leonardo Ulloa has expressed his desire to emulate the Premier League success of fellow Argentinian exports Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez.
The 28-year-old has got off to a hot start to life in the top-flight since arriving from Brighton & Hove Albion this summer for a club-record £8 million fee, scoring three goals over the club's opening four matches to earn widespread plaudits.
One of 22 Argentines in the division, the former Almeria front man also saw compatriot Esteban Cambiasso join him at the King Power Stadium last month and, though he admits he has a long way to go to match the achievements of such international stars, strides are being made towards improving his game.
'There is a good tradition of Argentinian players in England but, for me, I am not at that level yet of Aguero, Tevez and now Cambiasso,' he told the Leicester Mercury.
'When I watch games, I try to copy their moves and their style.
'When Tevez stops the ball and shields it from the defenders, I try to learn that, how to lean into the defenders. I am a different player, I am bigger, but I try to learn different things to be a better player and help the team.'
Sunday's home match against Manchester United is set to see Ulloa face off against Angel Di Maria and Marcos Rojo, who were both crucial to La Albiceleste's run to the World Cup final this summer, and the Foxes' main man is looking forward to the matchup.
'I have never played with them before, but I know they are good guys,' he said.
Despite netting 23 goals in 50 Championship appearances during his 18-month spell on the south coast, some questioned the fee Leicester shelled out for Ulloa at the time, considering his lack of big league experience, but he insists that the transition hasn't been as tough as some make out.
'It is different because in the Premier League there is more quality and intensity,' he added. 'But it is not a massive difference. I am enjoying the experience.'

text: Alex Maskey has been involved in dialogue with the Presbyterian Church since the late eighties. However on Hearts and Minds last week, he got something of a slap in the face from the current moderator, when the religious liberal, Ken Newell, told him that "the IRA had stolen the wheels of the [peace] process [through the Northern Bank robbery] and that process is now locked in the sand". He suggests he's 95% sure that the IRA conducted the robbery. In reply to Maskey's complete belief in the IRA's denial, "if you have no doubt Alex, then you are an extreme fundamentalist!"

Crooked Kingdom is here! Crooked Kingdom is here! Crooked Kingdom is here!
If you couldn't tell, I'm a massive fan of anything Leigh Bardugo writes, and the wait is finally over for Crooked Kingdom! Now we can discover the fate of all of our favorite Dregs and even the Grisha world! I'm so freaking excited to have the completion of this duology in my hands but also ridiculously terrified for all the death and destruction that Bardugo has in store for the reader.
If you haven't picked up Six of Crows yet, please do so immediately and then grab Crooked Kingdom too. At least you won't have a year of waiting in between.
Crooked Kingdom
By Leigh Bardugo
Published by Henry Holt and Co. on September 27, 2016
Genres: Young Adult, Fiction, Fantasy, Magic
Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn't think they'd survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they're right back to fighting for their lives. Double-crossed and left crippled by the kidnapping of a valuable team member, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz's cunning and test the team's fragile loyalties. A war will be waged on the city's dark and twisting streets―a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of magic in the Grisha world.
So who else is dying to delve into these pages? Terrified to get started? Let me know in the comments below!

I finally answered to see who they are; I too have been called many times and ignored them. So today I answered to see who they are.
They are a telephone service to inform you about stockholders meetings; they called my son to let him know about a stockholders' meeting for ING funds, which he owns. If the stock owner doesn't want to attend, they solicit stockholder proxies to vote for the proposed slate of new corporate board members, budgets, and other routine business - a perfectly legitimate business function. I know that if a company cannot get a quorum, the meeting has to be re-scheduled and additional expenses are incurred.
This tracks with the other complaints I have read about them.
If you have any doubt, just look it up yourself: www.dfking.com.
Researching sure beats complaints and unwarranted suspicions.

Earlier today we informed you on how Kid Cudi went on a major twitter rant about Kanye West, Drake and others…. Well Kanye has fired back at Kid Cudi during his St. Pablo Tour stop in Tampa….
As he was performing 'Don't Like', Kanye cut the music to address Cudi and he told him in front of the crowd to "NEVER MENTION YE's NAME AGAIN, I BIRTHED YOU. WHAT YOU MAD BECAUSE I'M doing songs with Drake?"
I guess things just got real between the two… Check out the flick below:

I purchased this Imperia pasta maker earlier this summer and have used it quite a bit. I had no trouble assembling it. I usually roll it to a #5 thickness and then cut the noodles. Mine did not come with a brush.
I can recommend this machine to anyone wanting to make pasta. Oh, and if you are thinking about getting a motor for it, don't - it cranks so easily that it would be a waste of money.

Government policies in agriculture sector6
suggestions–new policy measure to help agriculture sector7 Conclusion8
Agriculture is a critical sector of the Indian economy. Though manufacturing and service sector industries gained attention during the last couple of decades, agriculture remains to be the most important contributor of growth in India. Nearly two-thirds of India's population depends directly on agriculture for its livelihood. It meets the food requirements of the people and produces several raw materials for industries.
From agricultural point of view, India has vast expanse of level land, wild climatic variations suited for various types of crops, rich soils, abundant sunshine and a long harvesting season (rabi and kharif). Approximately, 140-145 million hectares of land is under agriculture. Post Independence, large areas in India have been brought under irrigation but only one-third of the cropped area is actually irrigated. There are many reasons responsible for the low productivity of agriculture. Farming depends mainly upon monsoon rain and farmers own small pieces of land and grow crops primarily for consumption. Another reason for low productivity of agriculture is insufficient storage facilities for crop yield. About one-third of land holdings are very small and less than one hectare in size. Due to small size of land holdings, modern way of cultivation cannot be used. Even today the farmers are using very old methods, tools and implements for farming. Artificial ways of cultivation are not implemented in India. Because of various reasons like lack of awareness, most farmers do not use better quality of seeds, fertilizers and pesticides. There is lot of exploitation of marginal farmers. There is also low productivity because of increasing pressure on land and absence of bank credit.
Agriculture contributes in foreign exchange of our country. India exports agricultural products and earns foreign currency. Agricultural exports have helped India in earning valuable foreign exchange and thereby improving economic development.
India is an emerging market and the objective of this project is to study the important role that the agricultural sector will play in the economic growth in India. Though more than 70% of the population depends on the Indian agriculture, the productivity has decreased post independence area. Lot of emphasis is given on the service sector which has shown tremendous growth in the last few years. It's time now that policies are introduced to take care of the different issues and challenges in the Agricultural sector.
Performance of agriculture sector in india
The agriculture sector in India has undergone significant changes in the form of decrease in share of GDP from 30 percent in 1990-91 to 14.5 percent in 2010-11 indicating a shift from the traditional agrarian economy towards a service dominated one. The same is reflected from the below Figure 1. This decrease in agriculture's contribution to GDP has not been accompanied by a matching reduction in the share of agriculture in employment. About 52% of the total workforce is still employed by the farm sector which makes more than half of the Indian population dependant on agriculture for sustenance. However, non-farm activities also contributed to the growth from rural economy.

by Rabbi Michael Z. Cahana
"You shall not avenge" (Lev. 19:18)
The three Israeli teens, kidnapped and murdered by Hamas operatives, had barely been buried when we learned of yet another child abducted from in front of his home and brutally murdered, his body dumped in a forest outside Jerusalem and burned beyond recognition. It is horrible and I join with Israeli and Jewish leaders who condemn it in the strongest possible manner.
It is not yet clear who is responsible for the murder of the Palestinian teen Muhammad Abu Khdeir age 16. As of this time, the Israeli police are seeing revenge as the most likely motive. Even as the funeral for Gilad Shaar (16), Naftali Fraenkel (16) and Eyal Yifrah (19) was concluding, an extreme-right wing rally was going on in downtown Jerusalem with demonstrators shouting "Death to Arabs." There have been Facebook campaigns promoting this kind of vengeful rhetoric. The word "revenge" has become a rallying cry.
This has no place in Jewish discourse.
Israel is a nation of laws. Judaism is a people of law. Those who are responsible for this terrible murder must be brought to justice. And if it should be found that the murder of this young teen, Muhammad Abu Khdeir, was perpetrated as an act of revenge - then we all bear the shame.
Yishai Fraenkel, uncle of one the three murdered Israeli teens, after hearing of Muhammad Abu Khdeir's killing, has been quoted as saying: "Murder is murder. Whatever the nationality or age are, there is no justification, no forgiveness or penance for any murder."
We mourn the terrible loss of life. We condemn any who use terror and murder as a political tool and who operate outside the law. We join with those who call for calm. And we join with those who rally against hate crimes, as some 3,000 did in Jerusalem, under the banner: "We Mourn, We Don't Take Revenge."

Its a beautiful morning sunny and bright, a perfect kind a day going to beach . Having a lovely morning, dreaming of lounging on beautiful seashore, rolling golden sand under my feet, sipping a chilled pineapple juice loving this feeling 😉 Sometimes day dreaming can be so lovely in this hectic stressed everyday life…..right?
Now you must have guessed the reason behind my day dreaming, yes PURE PARADISE BEACH WAVES HAIR MIST from Bath & Body Works…I just love beautiful smells specially which last whole day, who can resist this. As I was waiting for Pure Paradise collection since it was launched to come to Kuwait so finally yesterday I got my hands on this beauty, its just really pure paradise feeling as its name.
This the first thing I tried as I love smelling my hair , I have an obsession of smelling my hair( kind a weird ) 🙂 It makes me feel so good high all the time 😉 takes me to my Lala land ( my perfect land of dreams) heheheh…..:)
The hair mist adds an incredible volume and tousled texture to hair like a windblown without being sticky, beach bombshell effect Love it ❤ The smell is beyond defining its like dreaming of really sitting on the seashore of blue turquoise waves gushing towards you and kind a cool feeling in the summer afternoon…..a girls dreams. It's a mix of ocean-kissed frangipani blossoms, guava, cassis, and fresh star fruit notes. A summer chic blend… it's pure paradise in a bottle! Purely tropical cant say. Now I got why am I having feelings like this!
You must be knowing this till now that I have huge crush on Bath & Body Works mist and lotion from here and here…..I keep on stocking the new collections and this was the most awaited one. Their body mists and lotions are must for summer. But this is a different thing I have ever tried from Bath & Body Works and a must now. I have tried to spritz some perfume on my hair but due to alcohol they become shineless and dry. As I love good smelling shampoos but as you are out of shower they also just fly away and the fresh feeling is all gone but now on the freshness will stay till my next shower, as it is long lasting besides not overpowering .Cant rave more about it, a must thing for summer
How to use it :Use on dry or damp hair. Work through hair and use fingers to scrunch and twirl
for sexy, beach blown waves. It works also for curls…..they look so natural with this.For Straight Hair
Spritz PURE PARADISE BEACH WAVES HAIR MIST spray all over damp hair, then make several braids; once dry, let loose. Accessorize with some turban headband, rock this supercute look!
Its available at Avenues Kuwait Bath & Body works for 5 KD 4.9 fl oz spray bottle for more information check here or check there Facebook Fanpage for recent releases in MiddleEast
Enjoying the song from The Little Mermaid"Under the Sea" without going under the sea 😉 My feeling now you can imagine from my editing this hair mist bottle , enjoy.

Yesterday, I went to the Miami rescue mission to volunteer. I was helping sorting out countless toys for the kids. Thinking about the impact a toy will make on a child's life made me relived my childhood where my brother and I would try to stay awake to catch Santa Claus. My parents always succeeded in waiting for us to fall asleep to put the gifts under the Christmas tree. It was indeed the best of times. If my help brought that special spark in a child's life than my duty was all worth it. Actually they were helping me more than I was helping them. The gift of giving unconditionally puts us in a special embrace with the universe. You should try it sometimes.

Tonight, I looked at the moon and only half of it is lit up. I get goose bumps every time I gaze at its beauty. It is indeed majestic and surreal. Jupiter and Venus are also bright in the Southwestern sky. I feel like a fish inside an aquarium looking to the outside, I sense that there is something beyond that glass, but I just cannot comprehend it. I just cannot put my finger on it.

The madness within !!!
You see when my father passed away on Dec. 19, 2006 ; that's the day i stopped believing in GOD. I set out to prove that he did not exist and after a long two year battle with my inner demons, i finally succumbed . I knelt down and became aware of his presence and begged him for his forgiveness for doubting his existence.In the long run after being exhausted with banging all of your wits around, you have come to realize it is very much futile to be mad at GOD. I know I have gone mad over it. If you think you want to take on GOD, make sure you are ready because in the end GOD will demand an answer from you. Trust me, I know...

summer to winter
so yesterday was almost 29C. it stayed warm thru the evening and didn't even get too cold overnite (its actually colder outside now than it was at any point during the nite). today we have a maximum of 18C i don't know if we're even going to get to that with these COLD strong winds (apparently 18C is supposed to happen before lunch time and then its all downhill from there). i woke up to winds banging and rattling everything this morning and then rain. not good rain but rain that would just wet the top layer of soil in the garden (it just kinda sounded like someone was spraying our house with a hose). i'm going from singlet to fuzzy hoodie (as well as socks and shoes instead of flip flops) in less than 24 hrs 8(. at least the rest of the week isn't as bad as today.

Choosing the right school for your child is such an important decision and I hope you find the pages included here helpful. I would, however, urge you to visit the school and talk to me, the staff and pupils as there is no better way to gauge the atmosphere of a school. I am confident that you will be impressed by what you see and hear.
Visitors to the Junior School invariably comment on the positive learning environment, the manners and confidence of the pupils and the first class facilities; in short, it is a very happy place where children develop as learners and well-balanced individuals.
The curriculum is designed to provide a thorough grounding in the basic skills which are required throughout education, along with a broad range of subjects which interest and challenge the children for academic success in future years.
The Junior School currently has 208 pupils in Year 4 to Year 6, comprising three classes in each year group. Most children join at the start of Year 4, although we also have an entry point at Year 5. If sound progress has been made in the Junior School, it is expected that pupils will proceed into the Senior School, for which an entrance examination is taken in the February of Year 6. The transition is very smooth and as pupils move up the school to the Sixth Form, many still cherish the friendships made at the age of eight in the Junior School.
If you would like to arrange to visit the Junior School, please call Mrs Dyson in the School Office on (01482) 441211 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Peter Doyle
Head of the Junior School

Georgia (4-4, 3-3 SEC) VS. FLORIDA (4-3, 2-3), 3:30 p.m. (CBS-3)
Line: Georgia by 2 1/2.
Series Record: Georgia leads 47-39-2, including 40-37-1 in Jacksonville.
Last Meeting: 2009, Florida 41-17, in Jacksonville.
The winner remains alive for the SEC East Division crown. If the Bulldogs win, they still would need South Carolina to lose two of its remaining league games. Florida controls its path because it has yet to play South Carolina.
Georgia's running game vs. Florida's defense. Georgia should be able to run the ball against Florida's struggling line, but it remains a mystery who will do that running. Washaun Ealey's knee limited him in practice all week. Caleb King is back, but has a two-game suspension left him rusty? Safety Ahmad Black is Florida's leading tackler, which tells you what you need to know about the Gators' run defense. Last year, the Gators held 10 of their 14 opponents under 100 yards rushing; this year, they have held only three of seven.
Georgia: WR A.J. Green has 22 catches for 365 yards and four touchdowns in the four games since he returned from suspension.
Florida: WR Chris Rainey. Rainey returns from a suspension that followed an arrest for stalking. He sent a text to a women that read "Time to die." He had six catches and a touchdown in two games before the suspension. In the past two seasons, he had rushed for 1,227 yards and nine touchdowns. He caught 13 passes for 198 yards and a score.
This is the first time since 1979 that neither team is ranked heading into this matchup. Georgia won that 1979 game 33-10. … The game will be replayed on CSS at 11 a.m. Sunday. … Jacksonville's stadium has been renamed EverBank Field.
— Kevin Price, Seth Emerson

On one of the rear bulkheads, pulleys are used to lead cables to the rudder. These are detailed in the control assebly part of the plans. They note that access to the pulleys is easier while the fuselage is being assembled, so I looked it up. Although only two pulleys are required on this bulkhead, the plans called for four pulleys all day. Each pulley is built with two brackets. So that's eight brackets that I needed to build from angle extrusion.
This was laborious…. and repetitive. I tried to streamline to process but I rushed and had to throw away three brackets. Frustreated, I took a nice lunch break which calmed me down and I returned to calmly finish the pulleys. After riveting some bulkheads, this part of the the fuselage is mostly done. I've left some holes unriveted so I can disassemble if needed.

Estate Lawyers
Our estate lawyers will gently guide you through the estate administration process. Experiencing the loss of a loved one is never easy, and negotiating the legal issues can make bereavement even harder. Our experienced estate lawyers and administrators can explain your responsibilities and liabilities, obtain formal administration (Probate or Letters of Administration) from the High Court where required, bringing in the assets, pay any estate debts, file tax returns and distribute the estate assets to the beneficiaries.
You need someone to negotiate on your behalf and guide you through the process with compassion. Our estates team has a wealth of experience, and approaches each case with the attention and sensitivity you deserve.Our years of experience means that we can deal with complicated estates (and simple ones!) with ease, including assistance with defending or making an estate claim.
Estate Administration
If you are an executor our estates team can help you understand your responsibilities and legal liabilities. We can advise you on tax obligations and estate claim liability and assist you to bring in the assets of the estate, pay the debts of estate, advise on estate tax obligations and when and how to distribute the estate. We can assist with the formal legal processes required, the day to days tasks and then distribute the estate in accordance with the Will or according to the Administration Act.

Executor's Duties
If you are an executor our estates team can help you understand your responsibilities and legal liabilities. We can advise you on tax obligations and estate claim liability and assist you to bring in the assets of the estate, pay the debts of estate, advise on estate tax obligations and when and how to distribute the estate. We can assist with the formal legal processes required, the day to days tasks and then distribute the estate in accordance with the Will or according to the Administration Act.

- Distribution of an estate
Dealing with jointly held assets
Any assets that are owned jointly with another person or persons becomes the property of the survivor or survivors upon death and do not form part of the estate.
Our team can organise for the property to be officially transmitted to the survivor or survivors. If this is done at the time that the person dies then only the Death Certificate is required, a relatively simple procedure. However, if the property is not transmitted to the survivor at that time, then when the survivor dies it will be necessary to obtain Probate or Letters of Administration for both of the estates. This is a more expensive process and, particularly after a number of years, can be quite complicated.
- Transferring jointly held bank accounts to the survivor(s)
- Transferring jointly held property to the surivor(s)
In New Zealand, probate will be required if the deceased had a valid will and held significant assets in his or her own name worth more than $15,000, such as land bank accounts investments, shares or life insurance. Obtaining Probate is the process of proving the will to the High Court and having the Will formally accepted as the last Will. Our skilled estate law team can ensure that this process goes as smoothly as possible, allowing the executors to get on with administering the estate.
- Preparing for Probate
- Filing for Probate with the High Court
Intestate Estates
When there is no Will, the estate is administered according to the Administration Act (1969) and it will be necessary to apply for Letters of Administration . Our skilled estates team can help you understand who has the right to apply to be appointed the administrator and can prepare all the necessary documentation required for the application for a grant of Letters of Administration.
Once Letters of Administration have been granted, we will then advise the administrator as to how the estate must be distributed to the beneficiaries which is specified in the Administration Act.
Administering the Estate – Bringing in the assets, paying debts and filing tax returns
Our estates team can work with the executors or administrators to ascertain the assets and liabilities of the estate. We can bring in the assets of the estate; liaise with banks and investment companies to close bank accounts, and with insurance companies to claim on any life insurance. We can organise for any shares or property to be put into the name of the estate, after which they can be transferred to the beneficiaries of the estate or sold. We can hold any funds received on investment, and can advertise for creditors and pay any bills on behalf of the estate. We will then prepare statements showing all transactions that have come in and gone out of the estate and prepare distribution statements in preparation for interim and/or final distribution of the estate. Our skilled team can also advise you on the tax obligations of the estate and assist with the filing of final tax returns.
Distribution of the estate assets to beneficiaries
We recommend that executors and administrators do not distribute the estate until six months after the grant of Probate or Letters of Administration. This is because the executors can be held personally liable to settle any estate claims that are made within six months if the estate has been distributed prior to that date. Estate claims can still be made after six months, and up to one year after the grant of Probate or Letters of Administration. However executors are not liable if they have had no notice of any claim and the assets distributed can be traced to the beneficiaries of the estate.
When an estate is ready to be distributed we recommend holding aside a small amount of funds for finalising tax matters. We would then send out an interim distribution statement to all of the beneficiaries of the estate showing how much is available for each of them, and ask each person to agree to the distribution of the estate in accordance with the statement. Once we have agreement from all of the beneficiaries, and final approval from the executors/administrators we will attend to the interim distribution.
Once tax and all other matters have been finalised we will attend to the final distribution of the estate.
Estate Litigation
If you want to challenge or contest a Will, or you need to defend a claim against an estate, you need experienced estate litgation lawyers who understand not only the law as it is written, but how case law affects how a judge would interpret the law. Our skilled and highly experienced estate litigation lawyers can guide you through the process, explain the merits of your case, likely outcomes, the risks involved and what your options are. Whether you choose to settle through mediation or battle it out in court, our skilled legal team will ensure that you achieve the best possible outcome.

Y'know, little things like that.
I'll try again next month.
I really wonder about computer programmers sometimes. I see these stories about programmers trying to teach computers regret and hindsight. And then there's the stuff going down with genetic programming. I have to wonder at what point is this all going to go horribly wrong.
Seriously, sometimes I think these guys sit around sometimes over coffee and discuss how cool the TERMINATOR movies are, but that'll never happen with the stuff they're doing. Oh no, they're so much smarter than those fools in the movie that created an AI. Their AI will be so much better and never ever turn against them.
Obviously, computer systems will continue to advance and computers are everywhere now. My crappy little cell phone probably has more processing power than my old Commodore 128. And there's problems and extrapolations that are so insanely difficult that we need more advanced tools to figure them out. But there seems to be that imp or the perverse in some programmers that just has to fuck with things just to see what happens.
Let's take those guys in Tel Aviv trying to teach a computer regret. They say that'll help the computer's performance, because it'll feel bad about not performing well previously. That's dumb. Its a tool. I don't want my tools to feel bad. I don't want my tools to feel anything. Can you imagine what my hammer (Gussie Manlove) could possibly be feeling? I can't imagine she enjoys the stuff I make her do. Or worse... what if she does enjoy it? Gussie Manlove is one kinky hammer.
I cuss at my computer a lot. Its not because the computer is some horrible piece of crap. Sure its older, but it'll still do stuff. Its because I don't know how to fully operate the machine. Its me, not it, and if I go cussing the computer and the computer starts feeling bad, what kind of monster does that make me? I don't even like keeping virtual pets because I'd feel bad about forgetting to feed them. Forget it. I cuss out my comp because it doesn't feel anything. I don't want to go emotionally abusing an AI.
Sure there's a part of my nerdom which would love to live out a sci-fi story, but I don't really want it to be a robot uprising one. It seems like whenever I find a different story about crazy advancements or stunts like the programmed regret there'll always be a comment from some reader about this is how "Skynet" got started.
I'll stick to my cold emotionless, non-poltting-against-me technology, thankyewverymuch.
For some reason I couldn't find the official video to this on YouTube, with stinks because the cat on the hamster wheel was pretty cool.
End program for today. I'll see y'all Sunday.
