The Peoples Choice Awards may have aired recently but the Globes mark the true beginning of award season.
By now we have reviewed all the important movies, and given our picks to who we think should win. We've posted those who actually took home awards, so now all thats left is to give you a rundown of the night! The review reads more as our rambling thoughts of a liveblog as we view. Warning: Spoilers! Second Warning: it was kinda a boring show all in all.
First up the returning host, after two amazing years of beloved comedy duo, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, the only person who could truly keep up retook the stage: Ricky Gervais! Known for his no-nonsense attitude, he roasted the celebs in good spirit and said all the things we were quietly saying ourselves. Such as The Martian is not a comedy!
Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill kicked off the proceedings with a painfully unfunny segment about Hill being the bear in The Revenant though as he bellowed out half-funny things about not doing press, Tatum filled every moment of silence asking inane questions. We usually love this duo, but this was the first cringe-fest of the night.
Rachel Bloom was a peasant surprise to win (and one of the only predictions we nailed!). After Jane The Virgin's win last year, it's starting to look like The CW could become a relatively respectable network! Who would've thought?
Andy Samberg came out and delivered one of the best moments of the show, detailing our dream Globes! We won't write such filth down, but if you see one clip, choose this one.
Gaga appeared dressed relatively normal as she does a lot lately, while she always appears head-to-toe glamour we do miss the days where she would show up to an award show in a latex bikini, or meat dress.
Jamie Foxx was handsome and charming as always, and absolutely killed us when he announced best score for a motion feature to Straight Outta Compton! Though the real winner was The Hateful Eight, that saw Tarantino spiel out another memorable, crazy award speech.
Foxx stayed on stage to announce his daughter as Ms. Golden Globe, and she is absolutely stunning! Following that Eva Longoria and America Ferrara took to the stage and gave a hilarious back-and-forth about people mistaking them for other latin actresses due to their ethnicity.
Jon Hamm finally won a globe, and it's good timing as it is the last season of Mad Men! Even though we're sure that show ended like three years ago.
Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer presented together and gave us an insight into their hilarious dynamic that has made us jealous ever since we found out we weren't invited to their human pyramid. Totally ready for their movie! Yas qweens.
Matt Damon won for best comedy in The Martian, and we're still turning our nose up that the movie was allowed in that category. But we like Damon so whatever.
Kate Winslet and Kurt Russel presented best animated movie and you can almost smell the pills. Inside Out won, obviously. Pixar won out over more complex, interesting films like Anomolisa.
YAAAAAAS! Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling presented together making the best looking team we've seen since Clooney's Batman and Robin. Their back and forth was humorous but we can't stop thinking, perhaps Brad's days are gone for good because we can't stop looking at Gosling.
Stallone won the award for best supporting actor in a spin-off of a movie that had ten instalments. Nevertheless, for an actor who can barely pronounce the simplest of words, the audience were on their feet in the longest standing ovation of the night. This feels like a total goodbye award.
Mark Wahlberg is attempting comedy yet again, and failing hard yet again while Will Ferrel is just effortlessly funny. While whatshisname is giving his speech for best screenplay, i'm starting to feel the pangs of "maybe I should just catch the rest of the winners on Twitter."
Jeffry Tambor was favourite to win best actor in a comedy, even Aziz thought so! But Gael García Bernal had a surprise win! Remind us to DVR Mozart in the Jungle, that thing is making the rounds tonight!
Helen Mirren is astoundingly beautiful and hilarious as always. Can she host next year please? Son of Saul won the category nobody cares about 'Best Foreign-Language' but as someone who didn't watch any of the selection I'm giving myself a pat on the back for getting this prediction right! I'm also thinking I should catch up on them in time for the Oscars.
Gervais is back saying the show is WAY too long, yet again reading our minds. We're now worried our review is way too long and boring, which it is because we can't be bothered to go back and edit it, sorry!
Kevin Hart and that guy from Community and The Hanover are both funny, though not as funny as Gervais' joke at their expense. (Side Note: Felicity looks killer with brunette hair and Latifah is looking GOOD).
GAGA WINS! She cries and we truly feel her emotion, knowing she had always dreamed of being an actress, even before singing. The gays start out screaming "Work Gaga!". She does the gay service doing service to Cher, and thanking Matt Bomer. She reels off the rest of the cast giving sincere gratitude to them. Her speech is the most beautiful of the night, so far. Giving this is her first real acting role we're excited for the future.
Apparent rival Katy Perry is up to present, we wonder if they bumped into one another in the corridor. Sam Smith won best original song, so we're totally excited for an openly gay artist to win! But is anyone else surprised See You Again didn't scoop the prize?
Gervais brings up the Mel Gibson fiasco, he had previously made a Charlie Sheen joke, and Brangelina adoption jibe. We're starting to think he needs fresher jokes. It still doesn't sit right with me Gibson's allowed back into Hollywood. Though it is fitting he introduced Mad Max.
Gervais asked Gibson a question that was bleeped, but judging by Alan Cummings hands over his mouth, it was a good one! EDIT: Apparently he said "What the fuck is sugar tits?" A comment Gibson allegedly told a female cop during his arrest.
Mr.Robot wins best drama series, and we're feeling so good that it was our pick and we recommended it to you weeks ago! It looks like we'll be seeing a lot more Rami Malek on our screens!
Denzel Washington garners the Cecil B Demille award, and we realise we have SO many of his best movies to binge watch. He's a deserving recipient, and his speech was lovely. He even brought up his family.
Alejandro González Iñárritu wins best director after losing out with Birdman last year, and his speech was a snooze.
Sophia Bush presents and we're so glad to have her back on television, Taraji P. Henson wins and adorably hands cookies out to the audience on her way to collect her award. As soon as she begins her speech they try to cut her off, which she calls them out for before giving a sweet speech.
Jennifer Lawrence deservingly wins, proving she is here to stay as a modern day icon. Obviously her speech is a flurry with awkward moments that she knowingly laughs off. We're still so in love with her.
Tobey Maguire shows up for no reason, and Jim Carey has an awful beard, but he's still the comedic genius we love. As he announces best motion picture comedy, it's even more clear how Spy is the only true comedy. It should win by default. The Martian inevitably wins, and now we're furious. His speech as read verbatim was well thought out and inspired, though the awkwardness of him continuing through minutes of the playoff music and panning out shots were palpably uncomfortable.
Eddie Redmayne has cheekbones for days after visibly slimming down his already tiny frame for his role in The Danish Girl. Brie Larson bags the Globe and we feel pangs of joy for the young girl, clearly thrilled and excited to be acknowledged. She thanks her young costar Jacob Tremblay which we love as he deserved some for of acknowledgment himself for his glorious performance.
Leonado DiCaprio wins! Hopefully his luck continues to his first Oscar. The room goes wild for him, and as he takes the stage tanned and sleek, he looks like a true movie legend as he beams down to his audience. His speech is great, though it's starting to bug us these people are cut off after 20 seconds.
Harrison motherfucking Ford takes the stage to announce best motion picture drama. The Revenant wins, which is no shocker after actor and director both scooped awards. This was clearly the movie of the year according to the Globes.
Ricky Gervais ends the proceedings with one last zinger "From myself and Mel Gibson, Shalom".
So that's that done with! We have a better view into what may snag Oscars this year which, let's be real, is what really counts. Television was once more overlooked for the glitzy movie stars, and nothing of note was particularly exciting or controversial of the night. Heck, the biggest story that has come of it so far is Gaga brushing past Leo!
What did you think of last nights proceedings?

Malware in a bottle
I came across this today whilst following up on a compromise; it seems to use a novel (for me) way of sneaking stuff past a network's border controls. If anyone with better malware analysis sKillZ than me can shed any light, I'm all ears!
The sample in question is a second-stage download called install.48534.exe. Virustotal has this to say about it:
More interesting is what Anubis has to say:
For better or worse, my focus is on the sample's network activity. Malware will almost always use the network to do things like receive commands or steal data, so it's a good source of evidence. There's a good bit of network activity here, and Anubis kindly lets us have it as a pcap. Let's take a look.
There are four HTTP POSTs, each with a preceding DNS query. POSTs can be bad, because not all border defences inspect them. The user-agent in each case indicates that wget may have used, and they all seem to send what appears to be BASE64 encoded parameters. Decoding them yields little fruit; the level of obfuscation goes beyond plain BASE64. The first request is fundamentally different to the last three – speculating further, perhaps we're looking at a hit on a C&C server followed by traces of the C&C server's orders being carried out?
In any case, only the second POST returns a decent amount of data, which is a GIF according to Wireshark. File->Export->Objects->HTTP shows us a list of exportable objects, and we can save it off to disk.
And here it is, sanitised and converted to PNG:
Here's where it gets interesting. The dimensions of the GIF are only 143×74, and yet it's 266KB in size. That seems a little on the large size for an image so small. What's bloating it out?
Wireshark is a cunning beast that can dissect not just network protocols, but certain filetypes too – GIF is one of them:
Now we can start to see where all the bulk is. Expanding the "Image" subtree shows 27 255-byte data blocks that comprise the image. After clicking around a bit more, we can see there's a subtree titled "Extension: Comment" with many data blocks under it – here's our anomaly.
So what is it? Well, we can start to extract it out by right-clicking on the "Extension: Comment" subtree and selecting "Export selected packet bytes". Save it off to disk and open it up in a hex editor, because we've got some trimming to do.
The first thing we have to do is get rid of the first two bytes (0x21 and 0xfe) which denotes the presence of an Extension Introducer of type Comment Label. The next thing we have to do is remove all of the length indicators for each of the data blocks. Just like the image portion of a GIF file, the comment is split into a variable number of up-to-256-byte data blocks with the first byte denoting the block's length. These length indicators are polluting our extract, and need to be removed by starting at byte zero and deleting that and every 256th byte plus the trailing 0x00. I wrote a quick C executable to do it, but I'm sure someone could knock up a little script to do the job.
Finally, we have our extracted file. I have no idea what it is or what it's for! It could exploit a bug in some GIF parsing routine somewhere, but it looks a little large for shellcode (and don't forget that this was downloaded by a second-stage download in the first place). It's binary in nature, and has no discernible strings or magic bytes. If I had to guess I'd say it was an obfuscated executable of some kind, perhaps even the Hbz.exe that Anubis said got created and executed by our original sample? It certainly smells like a covert channel.
So, any ideas, anyone? Let me know if you want the pcap or the extracted comment. I'd be most grateful if anyone has some answers!

What about running a concept store? This wasn't exactly the idea sisters Romy (1986 – in the turquoise sweater) and Débra (1987 – in pink) had in mind for the future. Because of an exceptional chain of events, these siblings ended up owning an inspiring and successful concept store in Amsterdam.
Débra and Romy are the owners of Indianaweg10, a quirky mini-warehouse which is different from all the other concept stores in De Pijp area. They sell handpicked vintage and new clothing, plants, cosmetics, accessories and all sorts of interior bits and pieces. Débra: "Many concept stores in Amsterdam sell the same cactuses, the same 'unique' brands and design objects. We strive do be different by staying true to our own style and choices."
What were these circumstances, how did it al start?
Débra: "I got fired in 2014 and Romy just got back from traveling the world. We wanted to start something new. Something challenging. So we opened a bank account and put in 300 euro's each. You could say we started off with a rather modest start-up capital."
Romy: "We started visiting warehouses where second-hand clothing was sold in bulk. There's a lot of shit, but if you develop a sharp eye, you'll find real vintage gems. It took us hours to get through everything. I'm a lot quicker these days, ha!"
So you certainly never dreamt of becoming a shop owner.
D: "I went to art school."
R: "The only thing that stuck to me from studying Law are my student debts."
You started collecting vintage, what was the next step?
R: "We started selling our gems via a webshop and it worked out well. There's a big market for handpicked good quality vintage."
D: "In 2014, we opened a pop-up shop at Waterlooplein for a month and that really worked out well. That was the first time we realized we were doing something we both liked very much and could make a living off."
R: "This pop-up adventure made us want to open a permanent shop. So we did in 2015! We found a beautiful place at the Tichelstraat, in the Jordaan area."
D: "We thought, fuck it. Let's do this."
R: "We didn't have a plan or whatsoever and suddenly, we worked seven days a week. Both Débra and I had part time job too, we needed a steady income, to begin with. Those days were pretty hectic."
The shop moved recently to The Pijp area, how come?
D: "Let's say, our first location was pretty much too far off the beaten track."
You handpick all items sold at Indianaweg10. How often don't you just want to keep something for yourself?
R: "Haha! Quite often. But if my closet gets too full, I take some stuff back to the shop."
D: "I have to admit, everything I'm wearing right now, comes from Indianaweg10. But I think it's important too: it represents what we find beautiful and what we sell."
Tell me something more about the name Indianaweg 10.
D: "We wanted something personal, but didn't want to use our own names, as many shops in Amsterdam do so. Indianaweg 10 used to be our home address in Curacao, where we grew up. It felt so right. Commercially, it proved not such a convenient name."
R.: "People thought Indianaweg 10 was our address, and couldn't find it in Amsterdam. People thought we sold stuff that was made in India or by Indians. I can laugh about it now. And when people know the real story, they like it."
The pros and cons of working with your sibling?
R: "You don't have to do everything on your own."
D: "Things are far more efficient and get done a lot quicker as sisters – even arguments. That's how family works. We fight, we make up. We are very different people."
R: "Definitely a con: it's impossible to go on a family holiday together. That's something we used to do a lot."
Do you have a specific role?
R: "I'm very online minded: I like to keep our Instagram and Facebook pages up to date. It's an important aspect of our business: we sell quite a lot of clothing and plants via social media."
D: "We complement each other very well. I'm the do-it-yourself kind of person. I love to fix things and I'm absolutely not into online things or whatsoever. I barely use Whatsapp. But hey, you don't drive a car."
R: "Correct. I don't like driving."
D: "That being said, we do a lot of things together. Nearly everything. Apart from these things."
What was the biggest sacrifice you've made in starting or running your business?
D: "I have virtually no free time."
R: "I used to have more money during my college days."
Name the biggest overall lesson you've learned in running a business.
R: "Hire an accountant!"
D: "Dare to take risks. Does who dare, will win. Don't play safe, but distinguish and move above the commodity crowd. Trust your gut feeling and go for it. That's something we did with the Tichelstraat. We could've stayed there forever. But we made the risky decision to move. We always stayed true to ourselves and true to our taste and that's something people are coming back for. They tell us we're different. And that's our unique selling point."
R: "Many concept stores in Amsterdam sell the same stuff. We trust on our own taste and try and find unique second-hand and new items. We're always looking for gems that aren't sold anywhere else in Amsterdam. We sell some eco cosmetics too, they're hard to get in Amsterdam. You can only get them in one other tiny shop."
D: "In terms of brands, we really want to be distinctive."
R: "And if it doesn't sell, dare to change."
D: "It's trial and error. If the shop location doesn't work, move. If nobody buys a certain product, don't try and sell it."
Where do you see yourself in five years?
D: "I hope it will be more relaxed."
R: "Ik hope we can hire personnel."
D: "Good idea, it would be great to take a day off. And a bigger shop would be great too…"
R: "And our own brand!"
D: "Our own collection is something we've been dreaming of for years. But it's a difficult process. And I hope that in five years, people know that we're the place in Amsterdam for the best-handpicked vintage. There's so much junk around.
R: "And buying vintage is much sustainable than buying something cheap at Primark."

great post!
Really inspiring sisters. It's great they get along so well too. I wish I had a sibling!

A common cause of depression is a deficiency, or low levels, of certain vitamins or minerals. Even patients that suffer from depression that do not have low levels of certain vitamins may be able to improve, or treat, their condition by increasing their intake of certain vitamins and minerals.
Vitamin C and Magnesium for Depression
Vitamin C is often found in low levels in patients that suffer from clinical depression. Vitamin C plays an important role in the production of neurotransmitters, so low levels of this vitamin can actually lead to depression. Even those that do not have low levels of this vitamin can benefit from a higher dosage. Vitamin C also can help to increase the efficacy of many prescription drugs that are used for this condition.
The mineral known as magnesium has been used for many years to help patients that suffer from depression. It is often used to help more severe cases, such as those that have suicidal thoughts or suffer from mania or bipolar disorder. Many patients with less severe cases, can even treat their condition with magnesium supplements. Magnesium supplements work especially well when they are taken in addition to calcium supplements.
B Vitamins for Depression
B vitamins play an important role in energy metabolism, as well as healthy nerve functioning. Both of these factors play roles in mood, and a deficiency or low levels of these vitamins can often play a factor in depression. This is especially common for those that suffer from long term depression and have struggled to treat the condition with prescription and over the counter drugs. It's best to discuss with a doctor what dosages should be taken of the B vitamins, since dosages higher than the daily allowance are usually needed for depression.
Although these vitamins and minerals can be very effective in helping with some cases of depression, it is never a good idea to try to replace any prescription drugs that are considered necessary by a doctor. They also should not be used to replace any diet or lifestyle changes that have been suggested by a medical professional.

Recently, I smiled at a story my daughter told me about a little four-year-old friend. The little fellow was telling her about his older sister who was hit in the face with a softball. "Oh, no!" my daughter had exclaimed. "Is she alright? "Well," he answered matter-of-factly, "she wasn't then, but she is now!"
Later as I thought about the little guy's comment, I realized there was actually a good deal of wisdom in his innocent reply. Sometimes, we're not okay. We may have physical hurts and pains. Comments may scar and wound us. We may be scared, worried, lonely, or just downright angry or mad. We're in a place that we don't want to be and we're not okay. While most of us find ourselves in that "not okay" place from time to time, the real question is what we do next. What do we do to get to a better place?
I've learned that it's easy to get stuck in my "not okay" place. A couple of weeks ago, my back put me out of commission for about a week. I had to practically roll out of bed, stand up by sheer grit and determination as I would hoist myself up by clinging to a walking stick, and then I would clutch that stick for dear life until the back spasms would stop. It was not a pretty sight. I hurt and I didn't like where I was. In the middle of my pain, however, there was little I could do but pray for relief and accept the help of others for the simplest of tasks. Needless to say, I was not okay.
I learned, or should I say, I re-learned, a lot about myself that short week. In addition to the pain, I began to feel sorry for myself. This was not the way I expected to begin the summer. I hurt. I was getting further and further behind with things I needed or wanted to do. I felt that no one could understand the depths of my hurt and despair. Poor me!
In addition, the more I bemoaned my condition, the more prideful I became. I hated for others to have to do things for me, or to do the things that I normally did. While I hated to burden others, however, I realized deep down that I really questioned if they would do things like I did. I mean I still remember the time my husband cleaned everything in the bathroom with a bottle of Windex!
When I wasn't worrying about how well things were getting done, I was questioning if anyone really needed me. They seemed to be doing pretty well in spite of all the extra demands that I added. Poor me, again!
Do you see the cycle of depression I so easily drifted into? Soon I was becoming more crippled by my irrational thoughts than by my stressed-out back. But once again, as He has so many times before, God came to me right where I was. He didn't wait until I started acting better or got myself straightened out. He met me where I was and helped bring me out of the depths where I had allowed myself to fall. What did He say?
- 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)
This has always been one of my most favorite verses of Scripture. I remember its truth coming to me at one of the darkest times of my life when I lost our first baby. God ever so gently, then, and countless times since reminded me that nothing – absolutely nothing – could ever separate me from His love. I'll be honest I cannot understand a love like that. Too often, human love demands we measure up and do what is expected. It doesn't want to love us when we're unlovely, when we're bitter, when we're not easy to love. But God loves us in spite of who, what, or where we are…..and that leads to the next thing I was reminded of.
- And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (2 Corinthians 12:8-10).
God's love leads to grace. We are saved by grace and we live by grace. This verse reminds me that when I am at my lowest and weakest, Christ's grace will still be sufficient. And even more His strength is perfect in my weakness. When I give up and let God, His power can be manifest in my life.
God reminded me that no matter what I'm going through I'm covered with His love and grace. It is in Him, in His Presence, that I can discover the way out of my "not okay" place. Psalm 91:1-2 states: "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."
In God's Presence, we find whatever we need for the situation we're in. Just consider a few of the things that the Book of Psalms remind us about what God's Presence can mean in our lives. He is my shield (3:3); He lifts up my head (3:3); He is my refuge (9:9) and my strength (18:1); He is my support (18:18) and my shepherd (23:1); He is my helper (30:10); He is my hiding place (32:7); He is my joy (43:4); He is my defense (59:9); He is my God of mercy (59:10); He is my shelter and a strong tower from the enemy (61:3). It is God's Presence that makes my "not okay" place alright. As I bring everything to Him and surrender it to Him, even when I hurt, even when I don't like where I am, and even when I don't understand, there in that sweet place I'll find whatever I need to get me through whatever I'm facing.
I wasn't okay in the midst of my pain, but God got my attention and reminded me of His Presence. I wasn't alright then, but I am now!

Resume-writing is a multi-million-dollar industry these days — not only due to the rise in unemployment rates, I believe, but also due to the fact that many resume-writing services intentionally try to make resume development seem like more of an "arcane science" than it really is. You'll see some companies suggesting they've invented some sort of secret resume formula, guaranteed to produce results, as well as other firms (see article here) that lure you in with the offer of a free resume evaluation, then ruin your day with a blistering "critique" informing you you'll likely never work again unless you pay them big bucks to overhaul your materials.
These fear-based marketing attempts are usually designed to justify fees that range from $300-500, on the low end, to over $5,000 (I'm not kidding!) for certain companies that brand themselves as executive resume specialists.
At the end of the day, however, I don't believe that writing an effective resume is all that complicated of a process. Sure, it might be worth outsourcing to a professional if you're not particularly skilled in writing or word processing, or if you're struggling to overcome the objectivity barrier, but I have found no evidence (after 18 years in the field) that there is any one killer formula that will instantly double or triple your success rate — unless you're starting with a "train wreck" to begin with and somehow can't manage to scrape something halfway-decent together through your own efforts.
Common sense supports this contention, as well, when you stop and consider that the vast majority of hiring today (70-80% by most estimates) is relationship-based, not resume-based. When a friend of yours puts in a good word for you with an employer, in other words, you might still need to pass your resume along as a formality — but it's going to be the personal endorsement that lands you the position, not the "brochure" you submitted. This statistic alone suggests that those people who exalt the resume as the single most critical make-or-break issue of a modern job search are a bit out of step with how things really work out there. Sure, resumes are important and you need to have one, but let's not get carried away. Remember, too, that the rise of social media technology (e.g. LinkedIn) is rapidly eroding the role of traditional resumes in the process, as well.
So again, there are definitely times when hiring somebody to write or edit your resume is a smart idea, just like you might hire somebody to fix your plumbing, detail your car, or do your taxes. But be wary of firms that make the process sound more mystical or complicated than it really is. Ultimately, I maintain that there are only five key guidelines that a resume needs to pass in order to be highly effective. You'll find these five guidelines outlined here, in a recent article I contributed to Puget Sound Business Journal. In summary, they are:
1) Your resume needs to look good
2) Your resume needs to be error-free
3) Your resume needs to have a clear focus
4) Your resume needs to include the right buzzwords
5) Your resume needs to showcase your top accomplishments
Beyond these five guidelines, which I'm confident 95% or more of all recruiters and hiring managers would agree with me on, everything else pretty much becomes a judgment call — and you'll find that even the experts start dividing up into a bunch of splintered factions, arguing over things like which fonts on resumes work best, whether to include outside interests, whether to trim early-career jobs off the work history, and the like. There's just no real consensus on these issues, despite what some people may try to tell you. For every hiring manager that thinks including hobbies on a resume is tacky and unprofessional, you'll find another one who loves to see what a person does "in their downtime" and who finds it valuable to get a better overall sense of the candidate, as a person.
Ultimately, most resume decisions come down to judgment calls and your own personal preference in terms of what you choose to share about yourself. But if you at least make sure you don't violate any of the "five commandments" above, your resume is going to be in pretty decent shape. Is it going to be exceptional? Are people going to open your file and say "Wow, now THERE'S a great resume?" Not likely. But fear not, because as I pointed out in my earlier article (the one linked in the first paragraph) I don't think such thing as a "great resume" really even exists anymore. There are great candidates, with great credentials, but my sense is that we've now moved past the days when cosmetic resume factors count for all that much. There are just too many millions of these documents floating around now, following roughly the same approach, for readers to get all that terribly excited about the format alone. In general, they're going to be looking for substance (e.g. relevant credentials, stable work history, compatible industry experience) more than sizzle. So unless you really think you're a candidate to try something really unconventional and wacky (see examples here via Google Images) sticking to the safe, boring, proven guidelines makes the most sense.
Personally, I'd say that I come across a truly show-stopping "great" resume about as often as I come across a "great" website that stands out from the crowd and takes my breath away. Not very often. So if I were you, I'd settle for putting together a "very good" piece, with or without outside help, then concentrate your efforts on running a "great" marketing and networking campaign for yourself — something that IS possible and that will tend to have a much better impact on your overall success rate, in the long run!

With quarterback Will Grier out with a finger injury, West Virginia offensive coordinator Jake Spavital has been forced to innovate.
When Grier went down against Texas two weeks ago, the whole offense lagged. West Virginia managed just 56 rushing yards against the Longhorns. Backup quarterback Chris Chugonov struggled mightily. Clearly, something had to change.
So Spavital installed an option scheme from the wildcat formation against Oklahoma, and it worked very well. The Mountaineers racked up 250 yards on 51 carries against the Sooners. That's the second-highest total all year on the ground for West Virginia, behind a 288-yard performance against lowly Kansas.
As Keenan Cummings of WVSports.com detailed, the package worked because it was simple. Sophomore running back Kennedy McKoy was the featured back in the formation. He had "four to five plays…that the coaches repped with him throughout the course of the week" that he could run. McKoy played quarterback his freshman year of high school, so that experience, as lean as it was, helped him taking snaps.
Justin Crawford had been the workhorse for West Virginia this season at running back. But McKoy flourished in the wildcat, putting up 110 yards and two touchdowns. Crawford had a strong game as well, gaining 97 yards on 17 carries.
Spavital said the wildcat might make another appearance in the Mountaineers' bowl game. With Grier out, innovation is driving the West Virginia offense.

IFS Green Budget 2018

The findings from a selection of chapters were presented at a launch event on 16 October 2018.
The areas covered by IFS researchers included a discussion of the outlook and risks facing the UK public finances and of options for the upcoming Spending Review. IFS researchers also provided specific analysis of options for raising taxes, the impact of Brexit on the labour market, how the government spends its overseas aid budget, and home ownership among young people. Additional analysis was provided by ICAEW on public sector assets and defence spending and by Citi on the outlook for the UK and global economies.

As the mother of slain firefighter Michael E. Brennan, I feel this reservation fee is wrong and should be discontinued as soon as possible ("9/11 Death 'Toll'" April 14).
All visitors to the 9/11 Memorial should be afforded the courtesy to plan their day in NYC without having to pay a reservation fee to honor our loved ones tragically killed that 9/11. More.

KPK Government Chases Terrorist Families
Peshawar: The KPK government has urged its people to report to the police or political agents about any missing persons. People have been urged to inform the authorities if any of their family members are missing or haven't been in touch with them as reported from local agencies.
The government has warned that if anyone is found involved in terrorist activities and their families did not report about their disappearance, the head of that family would be brought to justice.
In a very clear warning published in National newspapers, the government has stated that families of anyone suspected of being involved in terrorist activities are required to provide the authorities with pictures of the suspect.
The punishments for not reporting the disappearance of a family member include capital punishment, life sentence or confiscation of property.

Break: DUST: Babylon Kickstarter am Ende
Der Konflikt zwischen Dust Studio und Battlefront ist endgültig eskaliert und das übrige Geld der Backer ist wohl verloren.
Dust Studio haben die folgende Mail an die Backer verschickt:
Dear Babylon Kickstarter Backer,
We are heartbroken to send you this message: Battlefront refuses to pay the amount due for the so called "Wave 2" of the Babylon Kickstarter campaign and therefore Dust Studio cannot deliver the items to Battlefront for distribution.
After four weeks of negotiations we still have not received a purchase order or a payment, regardless of our final and generous discount offer on the debated freebies.
During these four weeks Dust Studio has been bullied and blackmailed instead, with
Battlefront demanding the impossible from us in order for them to fulfill their obligations! They have asked us to pay them for editing and graphic design work their staff did on our rulebook, demanding a fee of over US $100,000.00.
They have requested we buy back their Dust stock — the stock that was eventually paid for to the factoring bank precisely with the revenue from the Babylon Campaign KS!
Battlefront is holding your money hostage, attempting to force us into an unbearable position and capitulate.
Please accept our apologies but we cannot accept any further humiliation. Our brand has been dragged through the mud and our reputation seriously damaged. Enough is enough!
Dust Studio has manufactured all the units listed as "Wave 2" in good faith but cannot afford nor are we willing to pay for jobs that Battlefront was never hired for in the first place, or for stock of products that have been discounted on the market for the past six months. These issues have nothing to do with the Kickstarter!
Being in breach of both our distribution and the Kickstarter agreements, Battlefront has been notified that our business relationship is officially ended.
What happens next? Why are you receiving this letter? A follow-on offer of how to receive the products you ordered will be published Sunday, May 17. In the meantime we strongly suggest that you contact your credit card company and ask for a full refund.
Please accept our most sincere apologies. And thank you for your continued patience and support.
Dust Studio Team
Eine Stellungnahme von Battlefront liegt derzeit noch nicht vor. Die Aufforderung das Geld zurückzuholen ist für die Backer vermutlich wenig hilfreich, da nach Aussage einiger Backer bereits kritische Fristen seit der Transaktion verstrichen sind.
Ein Teil der Waren wurde bereits ausgeliefert, was mit dem Rest passieren wird, ist spätestens seit heute komplett offen.

It was announced on Sunday evening (to quite a bit of dismay) that the Nationals had signed free agent outfielder Jayson Werth to a free agent contract. The dismay came with the terms of said contract: 7 years, $126 million. I will be attempting to discuss the impacts of this without knowing that Carl Crawford has already signed (and for how much he received).
From the Nationals Perspective
They came out and said that they needed to overpay to get a top flight free agent like Werth to consider a team with so little of a chance of making the playoffs anytime soon. But they felt that they needed to start bringing in marquee players to go with the young core that they are developing. Werth will slot into right field for the Nationals for at least the next couple of seasons, and could possibly move to left field when top prospect Bryce Harper is ready for the show.
I do find the argument that they had to overpay a bit unusual, as the part that seems to have been an overpayment is not the dollars per year, as much as the years themselves. But I also think that it definitely sends a signal to the rest of the league that the Nationals are not happy with being the laughingstock of the National League.
From the Phillies Perspective
There was simply no way that the Phillies were ever going to match an offer as ridiculously large as that for Werth. They have Domonic Brown in AAA, who will most likely be the everyday right fielder for the team before the end of 2011, and at practically no cost in comparison. The Phillies will receive draft picks as compensation, but the Nationals' first rounder is protected, so they will receive a sandwich pick and the Nationals' second rounder.
My Thoughts
I didn't really go into the impact that the signing has on the market, as I think that his signing has a similar effect to the Carl Crawford signing. That said, I am unbelievably amazed that the Nationals gave out such a long and lucrative contract. Werth is 31 years old, and has only had 500+ at bats in 2 seasons. I think that this is the type of contract that could really cause the Nationals some problems if he does not play well throughout the length of it. That said, I never fault the player for taking the money. $126 million is a lot of money. A LOT OF MONEY.
The funny thing that seemed to be noted pretty early on was that the last two contracts of that length and dollar amount exactly have not exactly gone the way their teams had hoped. Those contracts? Barry Zito from the Giants, and Vernon Wells from the Blue Jays.

As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit." (John 20:21b-22a NIV)
Elon Musk, the South African CEO of Tesla and multi-billionaire businessman, investor and inventor, was recently quoted in a headline: "Musk warns we only have a 5-10% chance of preventing killer robots from destroying humanity." "Without regulations," he stated, A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) presents a "fundamental risk to the future existence of civilization." We have been hearing robots were a good thing. What's changed?
Stuart Russell, professor at the University of California, and leading expert in A.I., sounded the same alarm. A November 21, 2017 news story quoted Russell as saying: "Killer robots which use facial recognition before slaughtering people, 'will be devastating to humankind.'"
Days before Professor Russell's statement, a warning appeared in the online magazine, Zero Hedge: "Killer robots easier to achieve than self-driving cars." Killer robots! Easier than cars without drivers? Better buckle up!
Armies of Cyborgs are not relegated to fictional novels, DC Comics or sci-fi films, they are in the testing stage, and soon in the implementation stage. The U.S. military has successfully tested a robot that carries 180 pounds up nine flights of stairs, considerably outperforming the most fit soldiers. That's only one example.
Killer robots programmed to destroy without requiring specific commands: Think about it. What if a robot stood nine feet tall (2.9 meters), could outrun a deer, do somersaults and jump high hurdles, plus turn a person to powder in a flash? What would we have? We have the new face of warfare.
The scenario described in Revelation 13 provides a picture of the future, not unlike what we cited above: "He [the False Prophet] was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed." (Revelation 13:15 NIV)
Regarding the above Revelation 13 passage, "Could the first beast's image potentially be a cyborg?" Yes! Giving breath to the image so that it could speak and cause all who refused to worship the beast's image to be killed is not a crazy, weird or remote idea—not any more. Minds bent on power have already conceived it. Technicians tirelessly work to achieve it. When it happens…buckle up!
Missing in the killer robots, until near the very end, is what the NIV renders "breath." In Revelation 13:15, the Greek word is pneuma, which is usually translated "spirit." If we substitute the more common "spirit" for "breath," as in "the spirit of the beast," we may have solved a mystery. Paraphrased, Revelation 13:15 could read this way: The false prophet will breathe the "'I am a god' spirit of the beast into the image(s)." Of course, we could be describing cyborgs that look like the beast's twin. They could talk like him, have an IQ in the 2000 range, and possess the beast's deceitful, diabolical personality. Along with other superior abilities, we have the beast's image—spirit and all—proliferating the earth. As a finishing touch, the image has authority to command worship, or die.
In Part 6, we will expose more of Satan's end-time plan to overthrow God's rule, creating counterfeit beings with the ability to destroy, a plan that dates back to the time of Noah.

The Social Work at Mayanei Hayeshua Mental Health Wing was developed specifically for the wing's unique needs.
For example, there are much more psychologists than social workers in the Social Array in relation to any other place.
• Therapeutic treatment – A social worker or psychologist treats the patient's whole complex of problems. The treatment will include medication if necessity.
• Rehabilitation treatment – In the more severe cases, the social worker builds an individual rehab program for each patient separately, taking all his data into account. The treatment covers all areas of: living, housing, employment, society, etc.
Mayanei Hayeshua's Social Array is working in collaboration with the Welfare Department. When there is a suspicion of neglect or abuse, the hospital involves the Welfare department, and therefore both bodies will handle the case together. In other cases, the Welfare Department is the one who refers patients to Mayanei Hayeshua.
The social worker handles with the patient's family and community. Sometimes the problem is in fact due to lack of communication, hypertension or accusation from family members. In all cases, notifying the family about the problem and directing them how to cooperate along with the hospital's work, increases the chances of full and quicker recovery.
In generally, it could be said that the social working's goal is to empower the patient while increasing his self- confidence, healing or easing his mentally problem and rehabilitating his functioning.
Head of Social Working Array: SW Frumi Gotlib

This is not good, especially on the heels of the IRS investigation. But then, this DOJ has always had a dim view of people learning the truth from anyone but the government's own press flacks:
From the Washington Post's Erik Wemple:
A word of caution to key government sources and whistleblowers: The most transparent administration ever "secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press," according to a story in the Associated Press.
The Justice Department executed the nitty-gritty here:
The records obtained by the Justice Department listed incoming and outgoing calls, and the duration of each call, for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and the main number for AP reporters in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP.
A release from the Associated Press notes that President and CEO Gary Pruitt has denounced the action in a May 13 letter [to Attorney General Eric Holder].

In this article, you are read about which Roku media streamer is best for you. There are a lot of media streamers available in the market. But there are some proposals in the form of a wide range of apps. And channels in the form of a Roku. The company is building online streaming boxes for many years which includes a couple of TV boxes because Sky holds a firm stake in the firm. In the USA you have five players available to choose from.
Points To Remember When Buying Roku Media Streamer
Roku OS
All Roku media streamer or players run Roku OS, a user interface designed to make the content as easy as possible. Roku calls this app "Channel" and probably offers the most comprehensive selection including Amazon Video, Netflix, TV player, US boxes are served as well. The features of Roku OS include Roku Search, which lets you search by movie titles, actors or directors.
It will give results based on your terms. The results will show you what you can see for free, what you need, and what you can rent or buy. The Roku feed shows you what movies are there in the cinema, then you can set a reminder so that the player will tell you that when those films are available to watch on Roku channels.
Roku In The US
There are five different Roku media streamer or player options in the US, with 4K support on high-end devices. There is a better processor in the current version of the Roku media streaming stick, which Roku says that pre-fire TVs provide more power than the stick. It was also given dual-band MIMO wireless connectivity.
It gives a clever private hearing mode through a companion smartphone app. The US version of the streaming stick is similar to its UK counterpart. It is more powerful of two streaming stick options and plugs directly into an HDMI port on your TV, but make sure you have a nearby socket for electricity.
Roku HD & 4K Quality Streaming
This is much smaller than the full HD streaming stick which has a power cable. It also doubles as a cable signal booster due to a small module made in the cable. It helps to provide up to four times the wireless range to reduce buffering. Although the main feature of streaming stick+ is its 4K HDR capabilities.
You can get 4K content only from supported apps like Netflix and Amazon, and you will need relevant membership options for each. The streaming stick+ adds a 4-channel spotlight on the home screen, which in one place aggregates an entire load of 4K content through Roku app channels.
Roku Mobile App
With the streaming device you have, Roku also has a mobile app for iOS and Android devices. With it, you can access pre-installed channels. Search for new stories to add channel storage as a remote control and use them. At the bottom of the screen, there is a navigation bar.
Which provides quick access to some of the most popular tasks, including channels, what is going on. Where you get other recommended content, quick launch for remote control and access to photos you can use. On TV, you can send it to your streaming device.
The remote app can also be used to enable the private listening facility. So that you can connect your headphones to your phone and listen to the audio from whatever you are seeing in private, instead of the sound coming from your TV.
I hope this article helps you find the best Roku media streamer for you. If you face any problem or need any support for your Roku device then call us our Toll-free number or visit our Roku customer service.

Privacy is a human right, and businesses need to remember that. So do governments.
It should come as no surprise that when key industry bodies write submissions to government consultations they're self-serving. That's what such lobby groups are for, right?
But in its submission to the current consultation on developing a national Digital Economy Strategy, the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) has gone beyond the usual bleatings about tax breaks, more "flexible" employment conditions, and a call for the the government to pay for the vocational training that businesses have long since stopped doing for themselves.
The ACCI wants more access to government data.
"Other governments, such as the United Kingdom and Canada, are ahead of the Australian government in terms of open data," the ACCI writes in its submission [PDF].
"It is vital for businesses to have access to cohesive and complete public datasets. Datasets provided by the government that are more complete can, in turn, produce more accurate analytics, drive efficiencies and productivity in both the public and private sectors. If the range and breadth of raw government data increased, it would encourage digital integration between the public and private sector in Australia."
Leaving aside the question of whether such access really is "vital" rather than merely "useful", we should remember that it has been collected at taxpayers' expense. Nowhere does the ACCI suggest that businesses might pay for it, however. Nor do they suggest a modest increase in the corporate tax rate. Of course.
The ACCI also calls for more system integration and interoperability between government agencies, so that "data would be requested from businesses only once … This could also be expanded to include data exchange capabilities between different international jurisdictions".
There are barriers to overcome, of course. The ACCI identifies, for example, "legislative restrictions; a culture of risk aversion; lack of national leadership for data sharing and release; and, [that] the extent of productive linking and integration of datasets varies substantially across jurisdictions."
Yet nowhere in the ACCI's submission is the word "privacy".
Nowhere is the phrase "data breach".
That's a worry, especially given the rapidly increasing ease but little-understood risks of the re-identification of supposedly de-identified data. Look no further than the recent re-identification of Australian health data that the government had published.
Privacy has taken a back seat to a lust for big data, according to Steve Wilson, vice-president and principal analyst with Constellation Research.
"Data scientists seem to think they can tick a privacy box and just get on with their analyses, perhaps because some consultant has said 'privacy is a positive sum game'," Wilson told ZDNet.
"Well no, privacy is about restraint. Privacy is mostly not about what we do with data, but what we don't do with data. Privacy considerations mean that the risk of some of big data's grand missions might just not be worth it."
Wilson believes that some people have a "fetish for data and open data", a largely unproven faith that all this data will lead to better evidence-based policy.
I agree.
"Big data is a dangerous, faith-based ideology. It's fuelled by hubris, it's ignorant of history, and it's trashing decades of progress in social justice," I wrote in 2014.
Since then little has changed, although it's possible that the increasing public awareness of the scale and scope of data collection, and the expanding news coverage given to data breaches, may change that. Australia's mandatory data breach notification laws come into force in just a few weeks. Wait and see.
"I don't believe we have properly accounted for the privacy risks," Wilson said.
"People have a human right to privacy, but I am not aware of any basic business right to obtain and process data."


text: I recently had an accident that fractured several bones. After many months of limited activity, I was prescribed physical therapy treatment. I went for an evaluation at a clinic near my home. The evaluation was in private and the physical therapist (PT) indicated that he was knowledgeable on how to help my recovery. The privacy and individual care ended there. My sessions took place in a large gym with 8-12 people including the receptionist. My PT scheduled 3-5 patients for his "supervision" at one time. Several times I told him what I was able to do at home, hoping to customize my exercise to my goals. He nodded and smiled, but not one change was made. After I asked several times, his response was "do you have a co-pay?" Apparently, if there was no cost to me, I was going to get minimum care. At each session I was told 2-3 exercises at a time to complete independently. Many times I could not recall what they were. The PT or the assistant would roll their eyes and reluctantly review the motions with me. After 10 sessions his company required I fill out a questionnaire containing approximately 50 questions. The questions included very personal information regarding my physical abilities, pain and emotional state. The PT never made mention of this survey again. I wish I hadn't given my personal information. My assigned exercises, repetition, weight/resistance, and exercise times were exactly the same as patients with arm, back, hip and knee injuries. The age of the patient did not matter either. Ages 35-90 years old did the same routine. Each session ended with an assistant attaching adhesive patches to my injury for electronic stimulation. Each time the assistant did not ask to move my clothing to place the electrodes. I was out in the open laying on a table among all the other patients. When I asked to be placed in a private location, the assistant looked confused and stated, "This IS your assigned table." I did not know what to do. I felt like I was doing something wrong to get this treatment. I skipped many sessions because of this. I ended my treatment early because they made me feel like I was invisible and was too ignorant to understand how therapy works.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD'S "BLOWN AWAY TOUR": Carrie Underwood will continue her critically acclaimed "Blown Away Tour" in 2013 with an additional 40 North American dates beginning February 13 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Following an international run in June, this will bring the tour's combined total to over 100 shows. Hunter Hayes will continue as special guest.
The former American Idol winner is taking her show on the road, and people lucky enough to nab Carrie Underwood tickets are getting more than their money's worth. This country diva may come from modest beginnings in Checotah, Oklahoma, where she was the youngest of three girls in a farm family, but Underwood's current concert is all about glitz, glam and a few breathtaking special effects.
About Carrie Underwood
Underwood was born in the heart of Oklahoma in 1983, and while she decided at a fairly young age she wanted to be a famous singer, the country bug didn't bite until she was well into college. She was still taking classes when she drove all night to St. Louis to audition for American Idol. After wowing the show's producers, Underwood went on to impress the judges, as well as the audience, and the rest is history. Today, Carrie Underwood tickets sell like hot cakes across the country, with this popular country singer occupying many venues to croon her favorites.
What to Expect with Carrie Underwood Tickets
Underwood has come a long way since her American Idol days, and folks with Carrie Underwood tickets will be delighted to see this young woman boasting more stage presence and charisma than ever before. She interacts with the audience more than her early years, and she appears more comfortable doing so. Her current tour has her entering the stage from below, but she also spends time in a large swing swaying across the stage and riding the clouds in a floating blue pickup truck.
The elaborate sets, lighting and costumes provide plenty of eye candy for Carrie Underwood ticket holders, and the music ranges from Underwood's hits like "Just a Dream" and "Before He Cheats" to country classics like John Denver's "Country Roads." The orchestration of the show pales in comparison to Underwood's beautifully strong voice that carries every song in the concert with flair. Underwood also picks up a few instruments throughout the night, including her electric and acoustic guitars and the piano.
Who Should Attend?
Underwood's high energy stage show is sure to delight audiences of all ages, from the young country singers with stars in their eyes to the older country diehards who love a good show. Carrie Underwood tickets appeal to demographics across the map, with American Idol fans mixing it up with country classics. The special effects and the music are equally appropriate for the younger audience, as well as the more discerning and mature crowd.

Anya and the Get Down's first EP got the local scene buzzing, its Amy Winehouse-type confessional rock blendly effortlessly with dubstep, reggae and hip-hop—not to mention the revelation that was Anya's vocals. Their new, still nameless second EP, which will be released in conjunction with a headlining show at the Pagoda Saturday, should be no less impactful.
"I think there's a little bit more soul on this one," says Anya. "It's coming from a deeper place."
The new EP features three new songs—"Maybe," "L.A. Woman" (not the Doors song), and "Gotta Be Got." It also includes her first single, "Gone Baby Gone," and a remix of "C'est La Vie" from the first EP, done by the Bangerz's Cutso.
"He's a good friend of mine, and I just told him, 'I think this track could use your touch,'" she says. "He kind of electrified it up. It worked out—obviously, because it's Cutso."
The band's been taking a break from playing live to work on the EP, and their first album, which is due sometime this summer. This will be Anya's first show ever playing the piano with her band, even though she is classically trained and it is her primary instrument. There are plans to move the Fairmont's grand piano in for the show.
It'll also be Anya and the Get Down's first time headlining the Pagoda, though Anya considers the spot a good luck charm after her first show there, opening for Talib Kweli's Idle Warship.
"I actually had lost my voice that night," she says, "but I magically got it back. It turned out to be one of the best shows we've ever done."
Anya and the Get Down perform at Pagoda Lounge in San Jose on Saturday, June 30, at Pagoda Lounge in San Jose, 9pm; $10-$20.

NEO launched in 2014 under the name AntShares. This project was created by Da Hongfei and Erik Zhang, and ever since its creation the public recognize NEO as the first Chinese platform built on blockchain technology.
More news came in 2016 especially because of the growing interest in AntShares. That was the reason for creating a new company OnChain that was supposed to address financial services and legal advice.
The year 2017 brought the most important news. AntShares was renamed to NEO and since then the cryptocurrency has experienced significant growth.

Euglandina rosea
Études de cas sur la gestion
Bonin Islands (Ogasawara-gunto)
A conservation program is needed to avoid the extinction of
Bora Bora (Pora-Pora) Is.
(Society Islands)
The only native snail on Bora Bora of the
genus probably became extinct soon after 1986, the year that
Euglandina rosea
was introduced. The most recent survey was in 1991.
Huahine Is.
(Society Islands)
All three native snail species of the
genus on Huahine were extinct in the wild by 1997, but 2 species survive in captivity. The most recent survey was in 2000.
Moorea Is.
(Society Islands)
It was believed that all seven native snail species of the
genus on Moorea were extinct by 1987. However, a small population of one species was located in 2001 by Jean-Yves Meyer of the French Polynesian Research Department. Five species survive in captivity. Attempts are being made through the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) for the captive breeding of those stocks that remain in the laboratory (Murray
et al
Raiatea Is.
(Society Islands)
The unexpected discovery of these two surviving montane populations raises the possibility of preserving some fraction of Raiatea's endemic tree snail diversity in the wild (Lee
et al
. 2008).
Society Islands
Partulidae are clearly a highly threatened family of invertebrates and in need of the most intense conservation focus.
