An Information Security Community
It's quite amazing to watch people's reactions when things that you told them could or would happen actually do happen.
This throws up the question if we ever can proactively prevent bad things from happening as long as we are depending on a broader community to actually help and enable society to prevent them from happening.
Those are not only my own personal thoughts - this is an observation which is quite old and now being discussed again very widely.
It has also been discussed in EP #189 of the Risky Business Podcast by Patrick Gray and his co-host Adam Boileau and his guests.
Some examples:
1.) Firesheep. We all knew how theoretically and practically easy it is to snarf data from unencrypted networks. But people and society only began to realize and believe it when Firesheep came around and demonstrated that this is for real and can be and actually is being misused and very easily so. Now at last we see some change in society. People now demand that they can encrypt their communication. And vendors as well as providers react like Twitter now giving you the option to enforce SSL for your account.
2.) APT - which I will define here for what it really is: targeted attacks of every thinkable form, be it just exploiting negligence and stupidity or chaining multiple 0days together. Bottom line is - people targeting any organization will sooner or later pwn it. Now since it has happened multiple times in a row, people only begin to wake up. So if your organization hasn't been hacked until now you just have been lucky that you haven't been targeted, yet, or you just haven't detected that you've already been hacked.
3.) Tracking people via cell towers. When the Chaos Computer Club told the Bundesverfassungsgericht (the highest court in Germany) how mobile providers can track people and what the potential of misuse of data retention laws is to track people, the court was very interested in this. But the politicians who had a keen interest in pursuing that data retention policy said it's not that bad and that the implications are blown out of proportion. But when a member of the Green party fought through to get his data records from his mobile provider, all of the sudden it was there, nicely visualized and impossible to deny. And on a side-note: he really had to fight this through legally for months, despite the fact that every person has a constitutional right to get the personal or personal identifiable data that is being stored about him by third parties.
4.) Fukushima. Well don't get me started. I already tweeted and blogged about single loss expectancy (SLE) and residual risk for nuclear plants...
But why do we have to see in order to believe and then as a consequence adapt and change?
It is in our genes. We are here today and not extinct because evolution provided us with an important feature: the ability to concentrate on the problems that pose an immediate - like in the next few seconds or hours - threat to our lives. People don't sit down and muse about what they're going to do when the next ice age starts if they don't even know where to get food to survive the next week. They don't tell the grizzly bear to hold on for a sec because you have to figure out how to get your fire started. You kill the bear and care about the fire afterwards. So our ability to blank out remote problems and uncomfortable truths once was a key to our survival - and in may situations still is. But today there are also problems and facts - some of them man made - that we just cannot ignore even if our own personal daily problems - like how do I convince Irene to go out with me - affect us so much more directly and personally.
We have to realize and accept that we are what we are and why we are ticking that way. Only when we understand the reasons for our decisions and how and why we are making decisions can we understand where we are failing and where we have to change.
Like the oracle said to Neo in "The Matrix":
"Because you haven't come here to make a choice - you've already made it.
You are here to try to understand why you made it."
Well and maybe change that choice...
I've always been skeptical of full disclosure and still think that coordinated disclosure is a good thing because of ethical reasons like being fair and helping each other or just for not being an asshole even if multi national firms who sit on their hands while earning loads of money just don't deserve that some hacker does the QA for them and does it for free.
But if it is so, that people only begin to change when things kind of explode in their faces, then I am all in with full disclosure.
Well dude, wake up. We are not playing games anymore. We are not just tinkering with the tech and the internet for fun.
There are things that you just can't leave to market mechanisms and hope it will handle it in everybody's best interest.
The computer says you are bankrupt - you are bankrupt.
The computer says you haven't paid your taxes - you will be in trouble.
The computer says you have blood type A - you'll get that infused
You can go on and on with that. I guess you get the idea.
If it is so, that people only believe and act on what they are actually seeing, we have to show them as long as they can change their ways. And we have to do a better job at doing that. I kind of changed my opinion on FUD at least little bit.
I think sometimes a little FUD can help. Just eliminate the F and the U and the D in those three letters and replace them with a S like in "show", an E like in "educate" and an A like in "advice". If the initial motivation has to be a little shock in a controlled environment (which could at first result in some fear) than I guess this is okay.
But you have to show people how this is happening for real in their environment not only in a hacker demo on stage. On the other hand: who pays you for a pentest that allows you to prepare for months and then finally compromise the organisation like an APT would do it?
The question is: how do we solve that problem? Ideas?

text: Bartletts Distillery 3 Posted September 30, 2018 We're working on our spiced rum and it will contain less than 2.5% total flavorings and caramel coloring. Will this product need a formula to be approved by the TTB? Also what is required on the label? Is "Spiced Rum" sufficient, or does it need to contain a statement "Rum Flavored with vanilla, almond, and other spices"? I've read through a lot of the TTB documents but still haven't been able to pinpoint a conclusive answer. Another question, does the addition of flavorings change the class & type designation to a "Flavored Rum"? It seems like it should, but maybe not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scuba Diving is so great.
By: Drew Larsen
Although there is dangers that await you.
Getting all my gear prepared
Now it's time to dive real deep.
Falling backwards into the sea.
My oxygen tank supplies my air,
It also helps weigh me down.
My snorkel mask lets me see,
The beautiful reef that is beneath
Tropical fish I see below,
A giant eel that's in a hole.
All the fish scatter and what do I see,
A Great White Shark staring at me.
I froze, speechless, under the water,
My favorite place has become a disaster.
He checked me out for a long minute,
Decided I wasn't a fish, then he vanished.
I head the other direction and I find,
A shipwreck in some time.
Lurking inside the shipwreck I see,
A moray eel coming for me.
I hide but get cut by a piece of metal,
That was sticking out in a shadow.
I make a decision to go to the surface,
Where I see a boat that is certainly for me.

Boxing: George Groves determined to prove he is best super middleweight in world with win over Chris Eubank Jr.
PUBLISHED: 12:00 29 November 2017
PA Wire/PA Images
British rivals to meet at Manchester Arena on February 17
Former Dale Youth boxer George Groves says victory over Chris Eubank Jr. in February will confirm him as the best super middleweight in the world.
The British rivals meet at the Manchester Arena on February 17 in the semi-finals of the World Boxing Super Series, with the bout to be shown on ITV Box Office.
Groves will defend his WBA world title in the unification fight, while Eubank will put his IBO world belt on the line.
And Groves feels that if he can edge out the 28-year-old, he will earn a few more plaudits for his achievements.
"I believe that once I beat Junior, I'll be regarded as the best in the division," the 29-year-old told BBC Sport.
"People are saying this is a 50/50 fight now. They said the same when I fought Martin Murray and I came through that comfortably; this one will be even more comfortable.
"I think I will get rid of him early and I believe that will be a huge statement in the division.
"I'm a world champion, so I'm not bothered if people don't believe I'm the best in the division, but if I keep beating everyone, at least I can say that if they don't believe, that I have already proved it."
February's bout will see Groves defend his WBA belt for a second time after winning it last May and will be the former Dale Youth man's sixth world title fight in total.
By contrast, Eubank is facing just his fourth world title fight at super middleweight, and Groves feels that could be the difference in Manchester.
"I am a much better calibre of opposition than what he has previously faced," he added.
• Harrow Weald welterweight Jez Smith maintained his unbeaten record with a second-round knockout of Nathan Hardy at York Hall on Saturday.
Taking part in the Goodwin promotion, Smith was looking to add to his record of eight wins from nine fights, with the other contest ending in a draw, but had not fought since March.
Defying any signs of ring rust, it did not take Smith long to blast away Yorkshire rival Hardy, with the Harrow Weald fighter's hard punching troubling his opponent from the start.
After taking plenty of blows, Hardy's corner threw the towel in during round two handing Smith the win.

What a year!! Not only have we received an unprecedented number of Gold and Gold Outstanding medals for our Hermitage Cognacs but our latest presentation, the Marie Louise Decanter, has just been declared 'Best Cognac in Show 2018' at The Spirits Business Cognac Masters 2018 out of over 130 entrants. This amazing news follows hot on the heels of the IWSC 2018 Awards where we were also short listed for 'Brandy Producer of the Year'.
This astonishing Marie Louise creation has been described as "lining one's mouth with velvet" and is a precious and rare investment. At 43% abv it has all the complex aromas and flavours one would expect from such a well-aged cognac. It is offered in one litre decanters produced by Cumbria Crystal. They are the last producer of completely hand-blown and hand-cut, full-lead luxury English crystal in the UK. The intensity and depth of flavours created by its careful distillation and ageing have created a masterpiece of smoothness and an intensely rich rancio found only in the rarest of cognacs. This truly great cognac is named after Marie Louise, the second wife of Napoleon Bonaparte. She bore his son who was given the title 'Roi de Rome' and who later became Napoleon II.

Another recipe for reducing waistline
You can prepare another drink with ginger, lime, citrus, pear, melon and cucumber. You will need:

NY – Albany: New York State Department of Education Buildingwallyg
The New York State Department of Education Building, at 89 Washington Avenue, was designed in neoclassical by Henry Hornbostel and opened in 1912. It currently houses offices of the New York State Education Department and was formerly home to the New York State Museum and New York State Library. It was the first major in the United States building constructed solely as a headquarters for the administration of education.
The building was the brainchild of Dr. Andrew Sloan Draper, the first Commissioner of Education who wanted more space for the growing agency. The site was secured in 1906 and construction began in 1908. The building was finished, at a cost of approximately million, on January 1, 1911 but was not dedicated until November of 1912 with the state museum and library moving into fireproof wings in the building. In 1959, the nine story New York State Department of Education Building Annex, was added to the northeastern side of the building along Hawk and Elk streets.
The thirty-six hollow marble Corinthian columns facing Washington Avenue form the longest colonnade in the United States. The colonnade forms the top bar of the building's T-shaped layout. Flanking the entrance are two sculpted lampposts depicting seated children. Notable interior features include the 94-foot-high rotunda, with its glass-and steel-dome, and the 50-foot-high reading room, with its large arched windows. The rotunda also contains barrel-vaulted glass skylights and a mural depicting "man's quest for education."

Start-ups are where tomorrow's leaders emerge. But with fast-expansion comes faster challenges. So just how do new leaders keep pace with ever-changing expectations, and can effective leadership be taught?
I spoke to MILK Beauty's founder, Lucy Patterson, owner of the UK's fastest-growing mobile beauty service, and Barney Whiter, investor, to explore the future of leadership.
In the wake of the digital tide, business must keep moving. Big brands and established corporations have proved they know how to lead and manage sizeable numbers of people. But what about a start-up blazing a trail in a new sector?
According to Lucy Patterson, "There's no blueprint for how to run your business. You can't look to the established giant and refine from there, instead you need to build from the bottom up.
"It's a learning curve that will inevitably have to be ridden, and challenges are part and parcel of the journey," she continues.
"Along the way you make mistakes and you have to be quite open about the mistakes with the team. The key is to build a team who thrive on this uncertainty and challenge."
Moving mindsets
Entrepreneurs are most likely to start off small – it's the most defining part of the journey when it comes to learning and growing as an individual and as a business. However, thinking of new ways to grow and lead in an ever-evolving digital and economic backdrop takes a fresh perspective.
Coming from a corporate finance background, Lucy's mindset shift was realising that not everyone thinks like her or sees the world in the same way, "People have different ways of seeing situations and solving problems. I've had to reset my view to see this diversity as a huge strength of our business."
With old leadership models being deconstructed, Barney Whiter, a start-up investor, believes it's not hard coming up with ideas and beginning to put them in motion; it's the execution that counts.
"It's easier than ever to start a business, but to survive and grow requires founders to have a mix of old-fashioned virtues like resilience, optimism and adaptability as well as the flexibility to use modern tools provided by technology."
The ability to not be affected by setbacks is cited as a premium quality for MILK Beauty's leader, "Resilience definitely comes at the top of the list. All start-ups face huge hurdles, and you need to not be disheartened by the setbacks, but you have to take the learnings and refine how you do things."
The future of leadership
Leadership has evolved, no question about it. Lucy believes that large organisations with fixed hierarchies and ridged long-term planning are being replaced by nimble, decentralised structures. "Future leadership will place much more emphasis on creating fluid frameworks to create success and growth."
It seems investors who are or were leaders can sometimes morph into the position of mentor. The investor/start-up dynamic has always been a source of invention, possibly where world's and agendas collide. But investment, especially at venture capitalist stage, means that those backing the enterprise can add their experience to the pot. Couple this with a fresh mentality and it can make for a very potent leadership combination.
Lucy supports this theory, "I am very lucky that I have met some great mentors during my career. I turn to each of them for different reasons and different questions." Her advice to potential leaders would be to have a great support network who start-up leaders can take counsel from.
Anyone running a start-up will learn a huge amount including leadership skills.
Honing the possibilities
The ability to think and lead differently is within everyone. Traditional models of leadership are evolving into something more collaborative and kinetic. Finally, I asked Lucy if effective leadership can be taught.
"Absolutely," she said. "Anyone running a start-up will learn a huge amount including leadership skills. I believe just about everything can be taught — it's just whether we are willing to learn and master what's needed."

Rating: 4/5
Dear Reader,
Walt is one of the few authors I'll buy as soon as a new book comes out. I love Sunaya Baine, the shifter-mage who's been through a lot and now is rewarded for eating all that shit and still being who she is to this day. I've actually got a lot of good things to say about this series, but while my rating is a solid four stars, I'm more wary than excited.
There's about two books (not including this) in the series that felt more like fillers than actual plot lines that fed the overall picture. Think of subplots, and how it does relate to the big thing but not directly towards it. Some may be okay with that, but I'm not. I got like maybe three books that really blew my mind with where they took the story and how invested they made me want to be in the characters. The other books…
And that's disappointing for me as a fangirl to this world and the author's writing because I have such high expectations for the stories to match up with Sunaya. She's a tough woman who's fought to be a good enforcer, to live despite her illegal-born magic, and she kept her fucking back straight when most would've collapsed under the gaze of Iannis. She's done a lot, so seeing as it's the sixth book, I'd like to at least see some of that hard work get put to good use. Like taking down the assholes who are trying to kill her for once, or tackle the rebels or that idiot pastor spewing all kinds of shit.
I get it. She and Iannis totally deserve their 'honeymoon' now that they're finally out in the open and together, but there's only so much HEA with the small missions that I can take because eventually, I'll start to actually ask myself if buying the next installment is really something I want to do.
'Do I really want to buy it now, or is it another filler?'
So with that aside, I've got to say that while this book was pretty exciting what with them entering Garai and going ninja, a few things fell flat for me. Like: her father, whose identity was a huge mystery that really hooked me in. For him to just get thrown in here and added in some chapters was just weird. Then there was the assassination on her life: a bit obvious on who it was, especially once certain characters were introduced to the readers. You'd have to be dense or purposefully ignorant to not know who sent them. So that killed the suspense. The journey through Garai was pretty sick and I liked what they did, but at the same time, it just didn't feel as deep as some of the other things. It was a fast-paced breeze through some seriously interesting shit that could've blown my mind if we had more time together.
Like the last time, I'm hoping that this is all just build up to a very mind-blowing installment of the Baine Chronicles. I love the author's imagination, her writing is just great and clicks with me, and her characters are legit! Just, you know… a badass heroine deserves nothing less than a badass series. So, you know…
Get to cracking, Sunaya. Baine. Your HEA isn't here, yet.

Arena Stage presents this world-premiere drama that turns the spotlight on U.S. — Russia relations...
This show closed on February 24, 2019
About Kleptocracy
It is one of the most pivotal moments in history — the Soviet Union has collapsed. In the ensuing rampage of hyper-capitalism, the Oligarchs, a new class of robber barons, plunge Russia into a terrifying dark age of chaos and corruption. When the richest and most ruthless Oligarch attempts to reform and open Russian markets to the world, he's confronted by a young Vladimir Putin who is charting his own path to power. This world-premiere drama by Kenneth Lin (House of Cards) turns the spotlight on U.S. — Russia relations when crude oil is the language of diplomacy and events that dominate today's headlines are first set in motion.

HelloFresh Credits Meal Kit Success to Social Media Strategy
NEW YORK CITY, NY - In the relatively new circuit of our industry that is meal kits, the battle rages on. As one of the top contenders, HelloFresh credits its success to, among other factors, a savvy social media strategy. With that, it enlisted a partner to monitor its brand's reputation, measure the performance of its marketing initiatives, and analyze customer feedback to improve products and packaging.
"At HelloFresh, data is at the center of everything we do. It was only natural for us to turn to social listening to improve the performance and efficiency of our marketing and communications teams. Talkwalker has allowed us to unlock access to a much larger conversation around our brand than ever before," Jordan Schultz, Social Media Manager for the rising meal kit giant, said in a press release.
HelloFresh said it wanted to improve its responsiveness and understanding of social media, improving product and, in turn, customer experience.
According to the release, Talkwalker's social listening tool enabled HelloFresh to:
- Track 400% more brand mentions
- Improve recipes, packaging, and delivery routes
- Implement smart real-time alerts
Before enlisting Talkwalker's tools, HelloFresh had invested countless hours into conducting a manual analysis of its social media activity. The company reported that it could better understand matters like if a customer complaint was localized and explainable by factors like inclement weather on an ingredient.
In the battle for meal kit supremacy, there is still no single winner, but will HelloFresh's social media strategy make it top dog? AndNowUKnow will keep reporting on this and other strategies.

Ten Reasons
Hire An Artist
Peter Funt, 7/22/2013 [
Monitoring Media
Monitoring Media
This is shaping up as a great season for media-watchers.Viewers still go on vacation, but news and entertainment media are busier this summer than ever before, giving us plenty to slice and dice.
>>Zimmerman.Since the trial, cable-TV channels, most notably CNN, have done a remarkably effective job of covering and analyzing the controversial verdict and its broader social implications.Anderson Cooper's interviews with jurors, witnesses and family members have produced some of television's finest journalism.CNN's challenge as it struggles to recover from a prolonged ratings slump is how to convert its masterful job of covering big stories to a compelling presentation that will attract viewers during slower news periods.
>>Sharpton.Increased public activism and fund-raising by Rev. Al Sharpton have prompted many to question MSNBC's decision to retain him in his daily hosting role.I think Sharpton's program is weak because he lacks skills as a telecaster, but I see nothing wrong with MSNBC giving him the forum.That's because MSNBC, like Fox News Channel, has long given up the pretence of being an objective news outlet.That's unfortunate.But if these channels want to have overt political identities, then they might as well hire people like Sharpton and, a click away, Karl Rove on Fox.
>>Rolling Stone.Many things in media change, but Rolling Stone magazine remains remarkably consistent, and its cover photo of accused Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is business as usual for the publication that blends rock culture with significant in-depth reporting.The choice of a cover image, which had already appeared months earlier on page one of The New York Times, was appropriate — something that becomes clear to those who actually take time to read the 11,000-word article.
>>Emmys.After the nominations were announced, headlines focused on the fact that none of the six shows in the drama category was from a commercial broadcast network.This underscores what should be a media axiom: the public will pay for quality content.Newspaper and magazine publishers, still struggling with the issue of "free" versus "paid" formats, should take note by investing more in quality reporting in print and online, and then charging a fair price for it.
>>Nate Silver.The nation's foremost political prognosticator will leave The New York Times for a post at ESPN and its parent, Disney.Silver shouldn't be faulted for taking the biggest possible paycheck, but his work at The Times was both sophisticated and insightful.Using his "models" to predict sports events and contests like the Oscars seems to be a squandering of his talents and a sad reflection of the nation's fascination with mundane polls and surveys.
>>Helen Thomas.The passing of the veteran White House reporter who covered ten presidents during her remarkable career is an occasion to reflect on how a true pioneer paved the way for a generation of female journalists.Along with Barbara Walters, who has announced her retirement from daily television, Thomas was successful because she played against men using men's rules, and often scooped them at their own game.
>>Sports.Generally excellent coverage of the British Open by ESPN was marred by the ill-advised decision to cut away from actual play for dry interviews with players who had just finished their rounds.While nail-biting play continued, viewers were forced to endure Ian Poulter saying, "I hit some really good shots.It was fun."Meanwhile, on the baseball diamond, those of us who don't live in New York and don't worship the Yankees, are miffed by national coverage as occurred Saturday, when the Fox national game featured the Yankees, followed by ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball with the Yankees, and then Monday's national ESPN game showcasing the Yankees.Give us a break.
Now, back to you.

Key Points:
- Insurance adjusters usually determine reimbursement for a totaled car by assessing the sales price of comparable cars in your area, often established through Kelly Blue Book or another reputable source.
- If the Actual Cash Value (ACV) of your vehicle is more than the Blue Book value due to aftermarket upgrades or other factors, then you must prove to the insurance company that your car is worth more than comparables.
- To prove your ACV, you will likely need to provide the vehicle's maintenance history; receipts for upgrades, accessories and custom additions; or anything else that may denote your vehicle's worth, such as a car show award.
There are a number of things that you have to take care of after an Atlanta car accident. From reporting the accident to law enforcement to filing a car accident claim with the insurance company, you want to do everything "right" to try to recover the maximum amount of compensation.
One type of compensation that you will surely be interested in receiving is a check for the value of your totaled vehicle. So it is important to know how insurance companies determine the value of your car, including Blue Book value.
How Insurance Companies Determine the Value of Your Car After A Wreck
When you are in a car crash and your car is simply damaged, the insurance company typically handles costs of repairs. If you are in a crash and your car is totaled ─ meaning that repairing it is less cost-effective than replacing it ─ then the insurance company is responsible for compensating you for the value of your car.
However, you may not agree with how the value of your car is determined.
Usually, the way that insurance adjusters determine how much your check should be is by assessing the sales price of comparable cars in your area. For example, if your car was a 2006 Toyota Corolla, then the insurance adjuster would look up the current value of 2006 Toyota Corollas on the market today. This is often done using a reputable source such as Kelly Blue Book, hence the term finding the car's "Blue Book value."
Unfortunately, the Blue Book value of your vehicle may not be the actual value of your vehicle. For example, if you put in hundreds ─ or even of thousands ─ of dollars' worth of upgrades to the engine, tires, speakers, entertainment system, etc., can you recover more money?
Recovering the Actual Cash Value Following a GA Car Accident
It is important that you understand the difference between the Actual Cash Value (ACV) of your vehicle and its Blue Book value. In order to show the ACV, you will need to prove that your vehicle was worth more than a comparable model on the market today. To do so, you may need to provide:
- Vehicle's maintenance history
- Receipts of any vehicle-related purchases, upgrades, maintenance, servicing, etc.
- Vehicle's upgrade history, including accessories and custom additions
- Anything else that may denote the vehicle's worth, such as an award from a car show
How an Atlanta Car Accident Attorney Can Help
Even if you show proof of the items above, a car insurance adjuster may not be so eager to pay you what your vehicle was really worth. When this is the case, turn to an experienced Atlanta car accident attorney for help negotiating a full and fair settlement.
At The Millar Law Firm our personal injury attorneys know how to aggressively negotiate on your behalf and improve your chances of recovering a maximum settlement amount. To learn more about our services, contact us today online or by phone to schedule a free case consultation.

Academic Experiences
Deciding to study abroad for a semester at the University of Sussex was hands down one of the best decisions I've made. It took me a while to decide which university I wanted to go to, and I ended up deciding on Sussex because of the university's proximity to Brighton, a fantastically interesting seaside town, and London. The second I arrived on campus, I knew I'd made the right decision.
At Sussex I studied art history courses equivalent to second year courses at UQ. I had a few issues with changing around some of the courses I was originally enrolled in, and both the academic and international staff were incredibly helpful during this process. I found the workload and assessment to be almost identical to UQ, except that essays at Sussex tend to be a little longer.
My lecturers were friendly and knew their stuff. The university only has one library, which can get a bit hectic during exams, so I often made the trek into Brighton to spend a day studying in a coffee shop.
Personal Experiences
The university is located in a national park, which means that the whole campus is basically something out of a Disney movie. On my walks to class I would usually have to stop three or four times to chase squirrels and bunny rabbits, or pick daffodils in the spring for my kitchen. There are walking trails surrounding the campus, and it's always possible to find a field with some friendly cows hanging out.
The campus is about twenty minutes by bus from the centre of Brighton, which meant heading into town was easy but still a novelty. Brighton has a fantastic bus service, with a 24 hour bus that runs to and from campus every day of the week. This made going out incredibly easy and a lot of fun, as the ride into town usually evolved into a full-bus singalong. Brighton is a pretty safe town to go out in, and there are about as many clubs and bars and pubs as you can imagine so everyone can find something to suit their tastes.
There are two pubs on campus which are always full and pretty cheap, so the trek into town isn't always necessary.
I stayed on-campus in East Slope, an area of about 100 flats that are, as the name suggests, built on a hill looking over campus. This accommodation was the cheapest, and while it probably showed in some ways, I loved it there. I lived in a flat with five other people, and we shared two toilets, a shower and a kitchen. East Slope isn't for everyone, but if you are pretty flexible and easy-going then I guarantee you'll have a good time. It's the liveliest accommodation on campus, and there was always something happening, whether it be an inter-flat water fight, or a couple of impromptu afternoon beers on the slope with flatmates.
One last advantage of studying at Sussex is its proximity to Gatwick Airport. This made travelling during the semester really easy and pretty cheap. Easyjet (your new best friend) flies out of Gatwick to nearly anywhere you could imagine, and if you book far enough in advance, tickets can be stupidly cheap. I visited Iceland, Scotland, France and Spain throughout the semester all thanks to cheap Gatwick flights.
Academic Development and Employability
I cannot recommend studying abroad highly enough. It was, without a doubt, the most nerve-racking, exhilarating and beneficial thing I've done.
It was also pretty surreal to spend a lot of time studying artworks that I could go and physically see in the galleries in London.
The University of Sussex definitely has my heart, and if you're interested in studying in England I'd definitely study there. However, I think that no matter what university I went to, I would have still enjoyed it more than I can say, so channel Shia LaBeouf and JUST DO IT!!!!
Top Tips
This may seem obvious and boring, but I managed to blow through a lot of money in my first few weeks because I wasn't keeping track of it. Try to jot down what you spend and then you can spend your money on fun stuff, like travelling and fancy cocktails.
The university holds a few welcoming events, and it's a really great way to meet other international students and also eat free food. I met a lot of my now incredibly close friends at these first events, and it's a good way to suss out the competition for Queen Bee (kidding).
It's a discount card that costs 20 pounds, and you can use it at the on-campus co-op (your other best friend). It pays itself off within a week or so, and you feel like a king when you get 30p off a 3 pound bottle of wine.
Follow your dreams; all that stuff! But really, everyone is in the same slightly terrifying boat that you are, and everyone wants to make friends. Find the people you like and they will like you, and then you will all like each other for ever.

Five things that aggravate me. In no particular order.
- Blankets, etc. left on the floor.
Every goddamn morning, The Who leaves the down throw in a heap on the floor between the couch and the ottoman. Sometimes, there are also pillows that he has carelessly let roll off and then doesn't pick up. Tonight, after I allowed him to watch a movie with his dinner, he left a blanket, two pillows, and a cloth napkin. It makes me want to kill him.
- Crappy weather on my birthday.
I know that with an early April birthday, it's a crap shoot. My mother reports that it snowed on the day I was born and so I'm never quite surprised when it turns out cold and wet. But it has been gorgeous and sunny on April 8th enough times to tease me and make me a believer. Tomorrow the forecast is 47°, windy, and rainy. F that.
- "It's not fair!"
You know what, kid? Life's not fair. Suck it the hell up. You're 6. Turn off the TV. Put your dishes in the sink. Pick up your socks. No, we're not walking to school today because we're not going directly to school. No, you can't have Tootsie Rolls for dinner. No, you don't get any presents for Easter; you're a Jew. Shit's not fair, dude. Move on and quit whining.
- All. The. Things.
I happen to be married to someone who gets stressed out by clutter. And our house is small. And we have many things. I have neither the time nor the energy to tidy up every day and yet, there are always things to put away. Frankly, it all makes me feel crazy, too. I can't stand the piles of things that accumulate over the course of the week on the edge of the dining room table and the collection of worn clothes (and who knows what else) on my bedroom floor gets on my own nerves, too. I want it all put away neatly, but I don't want to be the one to do it.
- Email.
There's too damn much of it. There's enough coming from people I know and organizations I want to hear from that I don't need to also sift through the enormous amount of crap that comes down the pike every day. Hundreds of emails a week are filtered out through my junk mail setting and still there are hundreds more sitting in my inbox. I need, perhaps, a better filing system — a place to put emails I don't want to delete, but don't need to be looking at. And then shit mysteriously disappears, too. Emails I know I wouldn't move or delete suddenly no longer exist. There's no good alternative; it's a necessary evil. But still.

Rent An Outstanding Luxury Home With Pool
Definately the most expensive gaff I've seen in town, anyone know exactly where this house is?
Hmm, not bad, looks like my type of place. One day.
Nice house, but chang klan is the night bazaar and lots of seedy karaokes. From the description it's actualy on the canal road.
it is probably smeg's , given to him in appreciating of his service to the advancement of the english language in thailand
It doesn't look like it's worth that kind of money, for that money I'd want my own desert island stocked with beers and women's
Yeah it said Chan Klang at the top but I notice it says bottom of Doi Suthep which sounds right.Originally Posted by Begbie
i now that TV is probably big by normal standards, but in such a tremendous room that TV needs to be flat out completely fucking massive.
The ad doesn't say Chang Klan, it says Chang Kian which is along the Canal Road.
The sale price is 68mil- it's a beautiful home, but I think they're dreaming at that price.
Outstanding Luxury Home With Pool
Jaysus, 285k rent or 68m sale for what is essentially a 3brm home!?
I know a comparable (sale price-wise) place that can be rented for about 30k, has two houses on it, its own lake and tennis court and sits on about 10 rai. Granted it's out of town but still.
I wonder what planet the owners are from.
Bangkok.Originally Posted by AntRobertson
Hi, it says Chang Kien which is in Suthep. Which fits with the map. I just notice to save money on rent you can always buy it for a snip at 68,000,000 Baht.
It's not quite in Nimman, so only really worth 250k a month.
This house just came up in my FB feed- the rent has been lowered to 225K, and the selling price has been dropped from 68m to 55m- I guess they were indeed dreaming at the original numbers...
I guess being on the market for over a year with no bites is kind of telling as to whether your price is in the ballpark.
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
And the rental is now at 225,000 baht bargain.
Looks like an accident waiting to happen. Also no privacy, the neighbors next door are looking right in.

Getting Close
Now I had a set of these years ago for my old SLR and used them to do figure close ups, but they were always a bit expensive. However at £7.99 + p&p I thought they were worth a look.
Now you have to be careful attaching them, and it's a matter of judgement how many bits you use for each picture plus it disables your autofocus (not a problem for those of us who used SLRs in the 1980s) but I reckon the next photo shows they're worth it:
This is an Irregular Miniatures 6mm scale elephant, standing on an upturned Humbrol enamel tin. I took it with an 18-55mm standard Canon lens on an EOS 350D, using a 14mm extension ring.
You should be impressed. I am.

Wow, that is impressive. I'll have to look into that.ReplyDelete
Didn't understand a word of the camera techie stuff but the photo is damn impressive!ReplyDelete
What Tim said ...ReplyDelete
I realise both Phil & Tim are fooling about but just to make the camera stuff clear.ReplyDelete
I use a Canon Digital SLR, - you know the type with a removable lens. The photo was shot with the standard all purpose lens that comes when you buy the camera.
The extension rings are a set of rings that screw together of varying depths, - you get a 7mm, 14mm, and 28mm and you can screw them together in any combination. The longer the extension tube the closer in you can get, so this was shot with a middling size ring.
The downside of the rings is that you do lose depth of field, - the background to the elephant is very out of focus but that in some ways makes it easier as you don't have to worry about the background!
In order to focus you have to manually focus the camera and also move backwards and forwards yourself until the shot becomes clear.
As with all digital photography you can experiment a lot easier than with the old 35mm film SLRs as you can see the results immediately. This photo was the last of four I took quickly on the dining room table. First was too dark, second had camera shake, third out of focus the bingo for the last shot.

Master Naturalist Training
Every Monday
Monday, March 18, 2019 - Monday, May 20, 2019
University of Illinois Extension invites adults of all ages to join them for the 2019 Illinois Master Naturalist program. The classes will be held at the Russell Woods Forest Preserve, 11750 IL-72, Genoa, IL 60135 on Monday evenings from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m., starting March 18 and ending May 20, 2018. The training will feature instructors from local natural resource agencies and organizations as well as state Extension experts and will highlight and provide instruction about our area's rich natural heritage by hosting classes in different locations.
As a Master Naturalist, you will learn about ecosystems and interrelationships of plants and animals that make up our natural world. You will also learn how to assist with land management and to share your knowledge with others in your community. The goal is to encourage participants to seek out lifelong learning opportunities to further their development as a naturalist.
Master Naturalist participants agree to serve 60 hours of volunteer service within the first two years of their initial classroom experience. Volunteers can then continue their certification with 30 volunteer hours and 10 continuing education hours annually. Volunteer opportunities in your county are extremely flexible and tailored to fit your personal interests, abilities, and time restraints.
For more information and to apply to become a certified Illinois Master Naturalist, please visit http://web.extension.illinois.edu/bdo or call the DeKalb County Extension Program Coordinator at 815-758-8194.

My Mother, My hero | Wall of Inspiration
My Mother, My hero.
Where do you even begin to write about a person that words can't fully describe. I will admit it, I was a mama's boy through and through. I talked to my mom multiple times a day. When I was happy, Sad, upset or overjoyed. I could tell my mother just about anything. She always knew what to say to help me get through. I truly miss her everyday. We always say when someone passes that "it will get easier" but I don't believe that. Even though the shock of her loss is less, the hole in my heart is still there just as the day she passed. My mother fought hard with Breast cancer for 12 years. It was a long hard fight. My mother did not give up even in her final breath. A true warrior in her own rite.
She was the funniest and goofiest person I knew. Whether it was how she sang Shania Twain when it came on the radio (I'm sure people who knew her will chuckle at this one) or the way she would talk to my kids. She loved life and loved every person she met. She was great Mother and an even better grandmother. I know in time we will meet again. Breast cancer awareness month has a special meaning for me and I'm sure 1,000's of others. Someday I hope we find a cure but until then, Lets fight the good fight, Hug the people in life that mean the most to us and enjoy our short time we have here on earth. Mom, I Love you, Miss you and can't wait to see you!!!

Fourteen-year-old Ona Dubula' who was shot in the face at close range by police while he hid behind a table during a protest in Hout Bay on Tuesday' had surgery on Wednesday afternoon to remove a second rubber bullet that had been lodged under his tongue for more than 24 hours. This is the latest in a series of incidents in recent years of police heavy-handedness in Hout Bay.
It is unclear whether the South African Police Service (SAPS) is investigating the shooting of Ona Dubula. A SAPS statement issued on Wednesday said only that "it is alleged" that a 14-year-old boy was injured during the protest and taken to the Hout Bay fire station for treatment.
SAPS spokesperson Captain FC Van Wyk said: "We urge the guardian and/or parents of this boy to come forward to open a criminal case to be investigated."
SAPS didn't respond to multiple questions from GroundUp asking whether police were investigating the incident and what action was being taken' following the release of graphic footage documenting the shooting. Ona was hit with at least four rubber bullets – two hitting his ribs and cracking them' and another two hitting his mouth. He had ventured to witness the protest from about 3km away in Imizamo Yethu where he lives.
GroundUp visited Ona and his mother Pinkie in Groote Schuur today.
In a video taken by Hangberg resident Peter Parker Michaels' Ona can be seen removing something from his mouth and dropping it on the sand shortly after being shot. GroundUp understands that this was one of the rubber bullets. Another is lodged beneath his tongue. While GroundUp was at the hospital' Ona was wheeled into surgery to have the bullet removed under general anaesthetic. At the time of writing it is not yet clear if his tongue will fully heal.
Pinkie' his mother' said she wanted to open a case against the police. She wanted to keep the bullet as evidence for reporting the case but was told by hospital staff that this was not permitted. Instead the bullet would be kept for the investigation.
She said she also received a call from someone claiming to be from the police who said they would be sending a detective to take a statement from her because a case had already been opened "on her behalf".
Ona has been able to speak' albeit with a slurred voice. He managed to speak to his grandmother on the telephone last night' Pinkie said.
During Tuesday's protest in Hout Bay over fishing quotas' Hangberg resident Clint October was arrested and allegedly beaten by the police' allegedly for holding a petrol bomb. GroundUp witnessed several petrol bombs being hurled at police vehicles after the protest turned violent.
WATCH | [WARNING: Graphic content] The moment police shot a 14-year-old boy at close range
October's mother' Tessa' said three police officers had bashed down her front door in pursuit of her son' before beating him repeatedly with rifle butts. She said that the police also pointed a gun at her two children.
She said that October remained at the police station. When GroundUp went to Hout Bay police station today' the lieutenant on duty said that October had been taken to Victoria hospital.
It is understood that October will appear in the Wynberg Magistrates' Court on Thursday on a charge of public violence.
Over the last few years there have been a number of cases of police allegedly using excessive force on protesters in the Hout Bay area. GroundUp has sent a number of questions to the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) about these incidents' but was told that they would not be answered immediately as the IPID spokesperson was currently appearing in Parliament.
– Earlier this year' Songezo Ndude' a resident from Imizamo Yethu' was shot in the head and died during a protest over concerns with the reblocking process that was being undertaken following a massive fire in the area. At the time IPID said that it was investigating the case.
– In 2014' Santonio Jonkers was dragged by his dreadlocks and beaten by the police. Jonkers had been living in Die Sloot' an area in Hangberg that he was allegedly illegally occupying. His case was forwarded to IPID but in 2016' Jonkers told GroundUp that the case was still continuing.
– In 2012' four Hout Bay residents lost eyes during protests. One' Delon Egypt' still has the rubber bullet in his head. Late last year' IPID told GroundUp that a total of 17 cases were being investigated as a result of injuries sustained during the protests in Hout Bay and that the investigation was complete and was about to be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
– In a meeting in Parliament in June' IPID reported that in the first half of 2016/17' there were 3'313 cases reported to it and that 1'857 of these were assault cases. There were 207 deaths as a result of police action and another 154 deaths in police custody. The Western Cape had the highest number of assault cases at 425. IPID also said that there were "86 disciplinary convictions; 87 acquittals; 27 criminal convictions; 64 members were arrested for different crimes and 805 matters were on the court roll".

I handed a beacon to one of the guys from 6W location last August and there will now be a QRSS beacon (c100mW) up and running on 30m between 21:00 and 06:00 most days from 6W if anyone interested. Should be 3sec dot but has options for other modes too. Call is 6W7RV, locator IK14LL and it will be on about 10.140. I expect if it gets very hot during the day the frequency MAY shift.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone can pick it up.
...two hours later I realised..
OK it should be QRSS 3 sec sending DCFW with a small offset on the
signal (see ethernet open beacon for details).
But it is setup to send CW at 12wpm so you might be lucky and hear it
I need to talk them through changing it.
will be running today evening 21st November at 20:00 GMT if it stops raining there.

(Alexandria, MN) Tuesday, Harley Davidson presented Alexandria Technical and Community College's Powersports program with a new motorcycle. It is a reward to the program for having a student who finished second in the national motorcycle SKILLS USA competition. The student is recent Alex Tech graduate William (Billy) Peters. Billy won the local and state SKILLS competitions and was able to compete in the National competition this past June. As part of their promise to help programs doing well, Apol's Harley Davidson of Alexandria was able to present the new Harley Davidson to the program, Tuesday. Apol's general manager Tom Brenden says this isn't the first time for Harley Davidson, or the school.
Billy now works for Polaris Industries, but was glad he could compete in the SKILLS USA competition, and what it does for the program he graduated from.
Duke Clemen is an instructor at Alexandria Technical and Community College. He says the Powersports program is growing thanks to student interest and donations like this.
Congratulations once again to Billy…and the Powersports program at Alex Tech.

Would you live your life differently if you believed that no matter what choice you made it would not be considered a mistake? For individuals living at higher levels of energy and consciousness in their life, that is exactly how they go through their day to day existence. In the mindset of the highly conscious individual, there are not mistakes, just a variety of ways to experience life. Such individuals are less focused on outcomes and more in tune with just enjoying every step they take along the journey of completing their tasks. They refuse to beat themselves up over the things that don't happen as planned, but instead ask themselves, "What is the lesson? What can be learned from this experience?"
When planning to make a change in one's life, often it's not the change itself which is the most difficult thing with which to deal. Instead it is the concern over the outcome of the change. What if it does not turn out the way I planned? What will others say about the course of action I've taken? Will I look foolish having done what I have done? Questions such as these come from a place of negative energy, and only serve to derail the steps we're looking to take even before we have started or completed them.
So, how does one move to a place where they don't look at things not occurring as they had hoped as a "mistake"? It first starts with Unconditional Love of oneself. The first experience of unconditional love occurs for most people when they are babies in their mother's arms. As we move forward with our life we are taught many "truths" about ourselves. All of these "truths" are the opinions of others or the opinions we have of ourselves in terms of how we live our life. When we take the time to remember the experience of being loved unconditionally, those "truths" which hold us back start disappearing in being an impact on our life. We move toward remembering that we ALWAYS do the best we can based on the conditions under which we are operating. As our movement forward continues one moves toward self-acceptance and self-worth and ultimately to love of oneself.
An additional step that moves one away from a "mistake" driven mentality is to honor their intentions. Only you are in a position to know what your true intentions are toward what you are looking to achieve. The choices you make in pursuit of those intentions are made based on the knowledge which is available to you. If all you needed to know was not available to you at the time you made a choice that produced an outcome you were not seeking, you have at least learned one way not to do something in the future. The great inventor, Thomas Edison, has many quotes attributed to him. One that perfectly sums up the mindset of there not being mistakes, only items from which to learn is, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work".
Therefore, go ahead and enjoy the experience of the change you are about to undertake. Remember that even if the results of the change don't turn out completely as you plan you are almost assured to learn something along the way. Honor yourself and your intentions behind what you are setting out to do. Look to eliminate the word "mistake" from your life and from the lives of those around you. Accept what has and is happening to you for what it is. Above all, always remember you have the power to move forward from whatever situation life has put in front of you and change it to whatever reality you want to for yourself.

GW Pharmaceuticals is hoping to develop a treatment for cancer after announcing promising results from an early stage study looking at how its cannabis-based molecules can help patients with the disease.
The trial tested how safe and effective two of GW's cannabis-derived molecules were in 21 patients suffering from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an aggressive type of brain tumour.
The results showed that patients treated with GW's drug, in combination with temozolomide, which is the current medication used to treat GBM, had an 83pc one-year survival rate, compared with 53pc for patients in the placebo cohort.
The combination therapy increased median survival to more than 550 days, compared with 369 days for those on the placebo.
Justin Gover, GW's chief executive, said the data from the trial would speed up GW's oncology research in the coming months and lead to further clinical development programmes in other forms of cancer.
"The signals of efficacy demonstrated in this study further reinforce the potential role of cannabinoids in the field of oncology and provide GW with the prospect of a new and distinct cannabinoid product candidate in the treatment of glioma," he said.

Advantages of Heathrow Meet and Greet Parking
When you are travelling with your family or friends, it is always better to go to the airport in your car. Also, travelling in local transport with a lot of luggage isn't easy at all. But when you travel to the airport in your car, there is always a fear of parking hassles. For example, you are not sure that the parking compound is equipped with security measurements or not. You have to go from the parking compound all the way to the airport lounge with your heavy luggage. Therefore, you must find alternate solution to this problem.
Many private companies offer off-site parking facilities. Meet and greet Heathrow is a secure and cheap amenity that is offered for the convenience of the passengers. There are various advantages of this service.
Just visit the company's website or call them to pre-book the amenity. A chauffeur will be appointed to your service. When you are twenty minutes away from the airport, call on the given number and the chauffeur will be waiting for you at the meeting point. Isn't it luxurious?
Time Saving:
The most important benefit of this amenity is that you don't have to search for the parking compound. In this way, your time will be saved and there will be no problems like flight delays.
The on-site parking services are more expensive than off-site ones. When you book meet and greet parking Heathrow, you will see that it is cheaper and affordable than on-site amenities.
Secure Amenity:
Another benefit of this service is that the car will be parked at a safe compound. So, when you arrive back, the car will be un-damaged.
Meet and greet parking has many benefits that one can get by booking it. Avail this service and make your tour memorable and enjoyable.

Adrian Belew: The Ideal Woman
To some extent, this is a tricky theme for a blog that currently appears to have only male writers. In light of years of feminists correctly clamoring to end objectification of women, and in the immediate post #MeToo era, stuff that we used to take for granted is, properly, subject to stricter scrutiny. These days, what one says, or does, to or with or about a woman could be damaging, and for the most part, I have to say, the additional care and thought is a good thing. Of course, if you can pay for a nondisclosure agreement, you can get away with misbehavior.
So, after nearly two weeks of scanning my library for a theme-appropriate song, why did I finally land on Adrian Belew's "The Ideal Woman," a song that is clearly an objectification of women? Part of it, of course, is that the song is from 1983, which doesn't sound like it was so long ago, but both of my kids are now older than I was in that year, so maybe it was a long time ago. And because times have changed significantly since then, although there's still all sorts of misogyny and objectification in the music world. Part of it, too, is that I really like Adrian Belew, having written about his solo work, his time with King Crimson and his work with Talking Heads. (Although I've sort of lost track of his career in recent years.) In addition to his music, I think he also has a sense of humor, and it seems like this song is more than a little tongue in cheek.
I have to believe that all of us have some idea of what an ideal partner would be. It was not too long ago that I would have written that sentence using the phrase "opposite sex," but you can't have Smithies in your family, or spend as much time at the Athena Film Festival as I have, without learning that the phrase is really useless. Maybe you're not as specific in your specifications as Belew is in the song, and even he gives himself some leeway, at least with height—he waffles between 5'6," 5'8" and 5'9"—and there are some contradictions—he wants a woman both independent and controllable, whatever that means. But definitely blonde. As someone whose ideal woman is many of these things (including beautiful, independent and blonde, but not all of them--she's 5'10"), maybe that's what drew me to the song.
