Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, the new 'John Fisher'

Archbishop Burke is disappointed that Cardinal McCarrick and Bishop Gregory withheld Cardinal Ratzinger's Memo at the Denver meeting
August 5, 2004
Recently, Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, Bishop, D. D., J.C.L., of the Archdiocese of St. Louis, 'the new John Fisher for our times,'[i] granted this writer and Catholic Online an exclusive interview.
You may remember that on January 8, 2004, Burke, then Bishop of the La Crosse diocese, promulgated a 'canonical notification' based on Canon Law 915. [ii]
In other words, Bishop Burke, a doctor of canon law, [iii]imposed sacramental disciplines or regulations concerning the unworthy reception of the Holy Eucharist.
He did not need a filibustering 'Bishops' Task Force on the doctrinal Note on the Participation of Catholics in Political Life' to decide for him how to admonish the manifest, obstinate, persistent sinners. Archbishop Burke knew he must stop the sacrilegious reception of the Eucharist and the scandal to his faithful flock.
When the diocesan bishops ignore enforcing Canon Law, they are giving license to all manifest sinners to commit Eucharistic sacrilege and cause grave scandal to the faithful. [iv]
Granting this interview while away on 'vacation,' Archbishop Burke very kindly answered six questions.
These questions addressed the confusion and misinformation caused by Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, Archbishop of Washington, D.C., and USCCB President Bishop Gregory during the June 2004 USCCB meeting in Denver.
In particular, these six questions were asked Archbishop Burke regarding a memorandum addressed to Cardinal McCarrick, chair of the USCCB's 'Task Force' committee by Cardinal Ratzinger and to Bishop Gregory.
It is well for us to remember that in his memorandum entitled 'Worthiness to Receive Holy Communion - General Principles,' Cardinal Ratzinger said without ambiguity:
"The minister of Holy Communion must refuse to distribute it"[v] when warning and counsel given to the manifest sinner "have not had their effect."
Question: Dear Archbishop Burke, regarding Cardinal Ratzinger's June 2004 memorandum, were the contents of the memo made known to you and the other bishops at the Denver meeting?
Archbishop Burke: "It certainly was not made known to me and I do not believe it was given to the other bishops. Cardinal McCarrick referred to the memorandum. We were told that, according to Cardinal Ratzinger, the application of the Canon 915 was up to the prudent judgment of each bishop. The text of the memorandum would have been very helpful at the meeting in Denver. Knowing now about the memo, I am disappointed it was not given to us at the meeting of the Bishops' Conference," said Archbishop Burke.
Question: The Bishops' Denver Statement reads:
"Bishops can legitimately make different judgments on the most prudent course of pastoral action."
Does this mean that one Bishop can deny Senator John Kerry Holy Communion and another Bishop can give Kerry Communion and both Bishops are correct?
Archbishop Burke: "No, in fact, Canon 915 must be applied. It does not give an option. Canon 915 says that those persons who obstinately persist in grave manifest sin must be denied the Eucharist. I strongly believe that if a bishop has spoken to someone who obstinately persists in grave manifest sin and he still presents himself for Holy Communion, he should be refused."
Question: Cardinal McCarrick received a letter dated July 9, 2004, from Cardinal Ratzinger saying:
"The 'Statement' is very much in harmony with the memorandum's general principles, 'Worthiness to receive Holy Communion,' sent as a fraternal service - to clarify the doctrine of the Church on this specific issue - in order to assist the American Bishops in their related discussion and determinations."
Is it your understanding that Cardinal Ratzinger agreed that some 'ministers of Holy Communion' should admit John Kerry and that some should not admit him?
Archbishop Burke: "That is not my understanding." [vi]
Question: In the Denver Statement, the fifth paragraph reads:
"Our obligation as bishops at this time is to teach clearly."
Can one bishop admit and another bishop not admit? Is this teaching clearly? Is it not a contradiction of Canon 915, for one bishop to refuse John Kerry the Eucharist in one diocese and for another bishop to give John Kerry the Eucharist in another diocese?
Archbishop Burke: "Yes, it would be a source of confusion. I have refused to talk about individual candidates, but when a 'Catholic' pro-abortion politician knows the actions he has taken are gravely sinful in a public matter like supporting abortion, the only way to uphold church teaching is to withhold Holy Communion. It is not right for one 'minister of Holy Communion' to give the Eucharist and another not to."
Question: Is it your understanding that the 'Task Force's' work is completed. Cardinal Ratzinger's July 9 letter assumed that the 'Task Force' has not decided yet.[vii]
Archbishop Burke: "I understood from the meeting that the work of the 'Task Force' was not completed and we would be given another report at our November 2004 meeting. I do not know if there will be another vote. Normally there is a vote to accept and not to accept."
Question: What can you tell us now about the 'Note Bene' statement of Cardinal Ratzinger's at the end of his June memorandum? In it, he states that 'proportionalism' or voting for 'the lesser of two evils' is acceptable. Do you think it is possible to end abortion by always voting for the lesser evil candidate? How would this apply to Pope Paul VI who stated?
"Though it is true that sometimes it is lawful to tolerate a lesser moral evil in order to avoid a greater evil or in order to promote a greater good," it is never lawful, even for the gravest reasons, to do evil that good may come of it [viii]--in other words, to intend directly something which of its very nature contradicts the moral order, and which must therefore be judged unworthy of man, even though the intention is to protect or promote the welfare of an individual, of a family or of society in general." [ix]
Archbishop Burke: "It is clear that the Catholic voter has to be opposed to procured abortion. Anybody who votes for a candidate who supports or favors procured abortion because the candidate favors procured abortion cooperates in evil.[x]
"A host of considerations enter in the decision to vote for a particular candidate. The voter must be opposed to procured abortion and do everything as a voter to decrease the evil of abortion and eliminate it.
"If the Catholic voter votes for a candidate who is in favor of procured abortion, while the voter is clearly opposed to it, there must be some serious reason to justify such a vote.
"As Cardinal Ratzinger said, in his June memorandum, such a vote is 'remote material cooperation,' which can be permitted in the presence of proportionate reasons.
His position is not proportionalism, for the voter remains steadfastly opposed to procured abortion and works to eliminate abortion in society and its protection by the law."
Question: Thank you very much for granting this interview.
Archbishop Burke: You are welcome, and please pray for me.
It is important to note that not only does the canonical discipline Canon .915 include the estimated 500 so-called 'Catholic' pro-abortion politicians (Democrat as well as Republican) in the U.S., but it also includes other manifest, obstinate, persistent sinners.
A short list of such sinners would include homosexual couples approaching the Eucharist arm-in-arm or with sodomite, rainbow banners over their shoulders, as well as those divorced and 'remarried' without benefit of annulment. [xi]
Also, included would be employees of abortion mills and Planned Parenthood, Mafia figures, drug lords, notorious criminals, couples living openly in fornication or adultery (this is certainly not an exhaustive list of manifest sinners).
Earlier, Archbishop Burke said, "So serious is the moral obligation to avoid scandal that we are admonished not only not to do wrong but also not to appear to do wrong. When a person acts, he or she must always consider the appearance of the act to be done." [xii]
"For a bishop or any pastor to exclude someone from Communion is always a source of great sorrow. The sorrow is caused by the care that a pastor naturally has for a soul who rejects the teaching of Christ and his church.
"What would be profoundly more sorrowful would be the failure of a bishop to call a soul to conversion, the failure to protect the flock from scandal and the failure to safeguard the worthy reception of Communion." [xiii]
In late 2002, a Vatican office issued a paper on "The Participation of Catholics in Political Life," which quoted Pope John Paul II as saying lawmakers have a "grave and clear obligation to oppose" any law that "attacks human life."
Bishop Bruskewitz's Vicar General, Monsignor Timothy J. Thorburn, J.C.L., said it is best to err on the side of reverence of the Eucharist:
"If I had denied Holy Communion to someone who is known to be manifest, persistent, and obstinate in his sin and he later demonstrates that he had, in fact, publicly denied his promotion of, say, abortion, I then would publicly apologize to him."
If anyone is keeping score, and I am, the tally goes as thus for denying manifest, obstinate, persistent persons in grave sin: Six diocesan heads for denying the Eucharist, 189 diocesan heads against denying.
The six good men are: Burke (St. Louis), Bruskewitz (Lincoln), Vasa (Baker), Donohue (Atlanta), Baker (Charleston), and Jugis (Charlotte).
Other bishops have strongly warned manifest sinners, but have refused to declare they would deny nor have they issued diocesan wide discipline. New Jersey bishops Galante and Smith have said they would deny their Governor, James E. McGreevey, but have not promulgated diocesan disciplines against other manifest persons.
The Holy Recourse is for each bishop to warn and then counsel the manifest sinners to the healing love of God. Without delay, the bishop should promulgate the diocesan discipline until such time the manifest sinner 'publicly' repents of his evil actions, receives the Sacrament of Penance, makes a firm purpose of amendment to his life, and makes reparation for the harm he has done. God is waiting for their return with a loving heart.

[i] In 1504, Fisher became Bishop of Rochester, England and Chancellor of Cambridge. From 1527, this humble servant of God actively opposed King Henry VIII's divorce proceedings against Catherine, his wife in the sight of God, and steadfastly resisted the encroachment of the King on the Catholic Church. Unlike all the other bishops of England, St. John refused to take the evil 'oath of succession' which acknowledged the heresy of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn as the legitimate heir to the throne. John Fisher was imprisoned in the Tower of London in April 1534. The next year, while imprisoned, Pope Paul III made him a Cardinal. Henry retaliated against the Pope's action and against Fisher's faithfulness by having Fisher beheaded within a month.
[ii] Code of Canon Law, c. 915 exhorts: "Those upon whom the penalty of excommunication or interdict has been imposed or declared, and others who obstinately persist in manifest grave sin, are not to be admitted to Holy Communion."
[iii] Every bishop must be a doctor of theology or canon law, or at least a licentiate. A doctor is one who has attained the highest academic degree in a given field. The term 'doctor' is derived from the Latin 'docere,' meaning to teach.

Disney has rolled out their latest batch of "Dream Portraits" shot by Annie Leibovitz and they pretty much broke the Photoshop machine several times on these. They all look like oil paintings a community college art student might sell in the last booth at the swap meet. But on a positive note, the casting isn't totally making my head slump down like the time a boyfriend and me got stuck on the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland.
Yes, I'd rather see Wynonna Judd or Sonia from Operacion Repo as Divine (aka Ursula), but Queen Latifah is a good third choice. Alec Baldwin as the magic mirror works and Olivia Wilde throws an adequate stone cold Megan Fox face, but Sharon Stone or any one of the queens on Drag Race would've really scared the core out of an apple with their cunt glares.
But the only one I don't understand at all is Jeff Bridges as The Beast and Penelope Cruz as Belle. I mean, HUH? Were Khloe Kardashian and the most beautiful Disney princess ever, Zac Efron, not available?!

One of the primary roles of Sandia's Scaled Wind Farm Technology (SWiFT) facility will be to conduct detailed experiments on turbine wakes and investigate how those wakes interact with nearby turbines. Although the SWiFT turbines are somewhat smaller than MW-scale turbines being deployed today, Sandia would like the SWiFT turbines, and their wakes, to behave in a similar manner to those of larger machines. To that end, research rotors are being designed to mimic the blade loading of larger turbines, and Sandia is partnering with researchers at U. of Minnesota a St. Anthony Falls Lab to use high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to aid in that effort.
An open question is how the details of the blade loading affect the development and breakdown of the wake behind the rotor. To answer this question, Univ. of Minnesota, under the direction of Professor Fotis Sotiropoulos, ran simulations of SWiFT turbine wakes using their large-eddy simulation code, Virtual Wind Simulator (VWiS), on Sandia's Red Sky and Red Mesa supercomputers, two institutional computing clusters available for energy-related research.
An example of a VWiS simulation of the SWiFT rotor wake is shown in the figure. The results of the simulations will be used to understand the physical mechanisms of near-wake development, and to identify how changes in rotor design impact behavior of the wake. Additional simulations of the entire 3-turbine SWiFT site are also underway; the results of these simulations will be used to help establish the expected power performance and loads profile of the SWiFT site under various atmospheric conditions.

An Algerian Christian places truth-preservation over self-preservation, and is consequently attacked by Muslims bound to lie-preservation.
At what point do you keep the truth to yourself? At what point do you stop openly talking about Jesus, or clearly addressing the dark spiritual nature of Islam? Slimane Bouhafs, a Christian from Algeria's Kabyle region (which is largely non-Arab) was arrested after stating, on Facebook, that the light of Jesus was overcoming the 'lie' of Islam and its prophet in the Kabyle region.
He also published photos showing the execution of a civilian by an Islamic jihadist. The authorities pounced. They dragged him to court in early August, prevented his lawyer from attending the trial, and sentenced the 49-year-old to a heavy fine and five years in prison for blasphemy against Islam.
Court demands prison even when fine is dropped
In early September, Slimane appealed the sentence, and the fine was dropped, yet the court still demands that he spend the next three years in prison. As of October 19th, Slimane's family is seeking a presidential pardon for him, instead of waiting for the Supreme Court to overturn his sentencing.
Bouhafs' daughter, Thilleli, said: "We have decided to seek a presidential pardon, instead of appealing to the Supreme Court. This is our last resort and the only possible solution to set my father free." Slimane's family now urgently seeks his release knowing that his medical condition is worsening in prison.
Slimane began to follow Jesus in 1997; he was baptized in 2006.
Pray that his faith, more precious than gold, is refined and purified even more during this dreadful ordeal.
" You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden." — Matthew 5:14
Pray —
10/25—Pray for Slimane's family to find their hope each day in the promise of Christ's presence with their father always.
10/26—Slimane's family describes him as a man dedicated to his country, democracy, and human rights. Pray for truth to prevail in Slimane's case and pray his sentencing is dropped.
10/27 — Pray that Slimane will entrust his case to the Lord, let God deal with his enemies, and rest in His father's love.
10/28— Pray for Slimane to remember that one day God will judge all sin and reward those who faithfully trust Him.
10/29 — Ask God to give courage and endurance to Slimane while he waits.
10/30 — Pray that Slimane looks to the example of Christ as the author and finisher of his faith who, though He was rejected, did not open his mouth to defend Himself. (Is. 53:7)
10/31 — Pray for Slimane to dwell in the secure shelter of the Most High and recall His new mercies every day. Pray for many opportunities for him to share the Gospel in prison.

Minimal Risk Stocks
Recipes and creative direction by Karin Botta and Lee-Ann Orton
Photography by Neil Kirby
*The budget version
**The baller version
The definition of a stock is basically a broth without the meat. Traditionally, a stock is made from bones, while broth is made from the meat. As you try your hand at making more of your own stocks, you'll realise that the meat is redundant if you give your basic stock ingredients the TLC they deserve. If you're aiming to pack as much flavour into your stock in a limited amount of time, then ramp it up with some real pieces of meat.
Above anything else, you want to:
- Keep it simple
- Brown before you boil
- Remember the hero (What kind of stock are you making? That's what it should taste like.)
- Season
- Taste
- Be patient
- Clean it up (skim and strain, some bits don't taste as good as others)
Chicken (Lee-Ann)
For about 2 litres
1. The Bear Market* (for Risotto, Leek Gratin, Wonton Soup)
1kg of chicken necks
6 Litres of water
Some sunflower oil, or anything with a high smoke point
2. The Bull Market** (for the luxe versions of the above)
2 T of butter
2 Celery stalks
3 White onions, or 3 Shallots, quartered, skin on
Replace half the chicken necks with 1 whole chicken
300ml of white wine, reduced to 30ml
1 Bunch of thyme
White pepper corns
Brown meat as the skin and bones carry the most flavour. If any of these go into the pot with a bit of extra caramelisation – bonus!
Heat oven to 180 degrees.
Roast the necks for about 20mins until golden brown.
Transfer to pot.
Deglaze roasting tray with butter first and 1 cup of just-boiled water second.
Add to pot.
Fill with the rest of the water and bring to the boil.
Reduce heat to a light, rolling boil.
Aim to reduce the entire stock by at least half.
Taste it, season it, if it lacks depth, continue reducing to a third of the original quantity.
Allow the stock to reduce for at least 4 hours, 6 hours is ideal at the correct heat.
Let cool slightly, just as the fat starts solidifying.
Let cool completely before serving.
Remove excess cooled fat.
Heat and use, or freeze.
For Bull version
Follow the above steps by adding the vegetables to the roasting process, and the pepper corns and herbs to the boiling process.
All the while reducing the white wine in a separate pot. You're looking to reduce just over 1 cup to roughly 2 T. It will take some time, but the syrupy flavour-bomb result is so worth it.
Add this to your re-heated, or just-strained stock before using.
Beef (Lee-Ann)
For about 2 litres
1. The Bear Market* (for Beef Noodle, French Onion Soup, Tortellini in Brodo)
2 Bags of bones (a mix of off cuts that you'll find in the meat section of most supermarkets, or ask your butcher)
5/6 Litres water
Some sunflower oil, or anything with a high smoke point
2. The Bull Market** (for the luxe versions of the above)
1 Bag of bones
2 Pieces of beef shin
3 Pieces of oxtail
3 White onions, or 6 shallots roughly halved or quartered, skin on
2 Bulbs of garlic, halved through the width, skin on
5/6 Litres water
Some sunflower oil, or anything with high smoke point
Whole black pepper corns
For Beef Noodle
1 Giant piece of ginger
2 t Chinese 5 Spice
6 Star Anise
For Tortellini in Brodo
2 Leeks
3 Carrots
- – Don't let any of the meat or bones (or other ingredients) burn during the browning process, your stock will go black and bitter and nothing truly reverses that taste!
- – Skim your stock throughout the reduction process
- – Watch the heat of your stove: too high and your stock will reduce too quickly without picking up flavour; too low and you'll have loads of stock with little flavour.
Heat the oven to 200 degrees C. Scatter bones in a large roasting tray, season well and drizzle with oil.
Roast for 30-40 mins, keeping a close eye on the tray as the bones brown.
You're looking for quite a lot of golden caramelisation, minimal scorching around the edges is fine, but remove from the oven before any parts really blacken. During this step you also want to render out most of the fat around the bones.
Transfer browned bones to a large pot.
Deglaze roasting tray with a cup of just-boiled water and scrape any and all bits of meat and residue from the pan.
Add this to the pot.
Fill with the rest of the water and bring to the boil.
Reduce heat to a light, rolling boil.
Aim to reduce the entire stock by at least half.
Taste it, season it, if it lacks depth, continue reducing to a third of the original quantity.
Allow the stock to reduce for at least 4 hours, 6 hours is ideal at the correct heat.
Let cool slightly, just as the fat starts solidifying.
Let cool completely before using.
Remove excess cooled fat.
Heat and use, or freeze.
For the Bull version of the stock, add the additional ingredients during the roasting process and follow the rest as above.
Cheese (Karin)
For a bout 1.5 litres
1. The Bear Market* (for mac and cheese, cacio e pepe, stracciatella soup)
3 Parmesan rinds (minimum) ideally 4/5
2 Litres water
2. The Bull Market** (for the luxe versions of the above)
1 T Olive Oil
1 Onion, quartered
5 Whole cloves of garlic
1 Bay leaf
1 Bunch of flat leaf parsley
200ml White wine
5 Parmesan rinds (minimum)
2 Litres water
- – Don't use moldy rinds – you can freeze them!
- – The simmer should be low, but don't let the simmer cheese get stuck to the bottom of the pot because the boil is too gentle, it's a nightmare to clean.
For the basic version, simmer your rinds slowly
Keep going for about four hours, or until the broth is salty and cloudy
For the luxe version, cook your onions and garlic on a low heat in the oil for 5-10 minutes until golden brown and the garlic is fragrant.
Deglaze with the wine and cook off the alcohol
Add the herbs and water
Simmer for 3-4 hours
Strain well
Fish (Karin)
For about 2 litres
1. Cheap and Versatile Bear* (chowder, wonton soup, risotto)
1kg fish heads, bones, spines tails, and offcuts – ditch the skins unless salmon in which case, fry and eat for a snack.
2 Medium carrots, chopped
1 Stick of celery, chopped
1 White onion, chopped
1 T Butter (unless it's for an Asian soup then use a bit of water for the sweating)
2. French and Bisquey Bull** (for quennelles, bisque, bouillabaisse)
Another T of butter
1 Fennel bulb might be nice, chopped
2 Medium tomatoes, chopped
Replace half the fish heads with crayfish and prawn shells and heads, pre-roast them on an oven tray: 180 degrees for 10-15 mins.
5ml Sherry/Brandy/Wine
1 Bay leaf
White pepper
- – Like with all fish, it will taste better when the fish are fresh and their eyes are glassy
- – Wash out all the blood from the heads before you start (but it wont make you sick)
- – Remove the gills of the fish heads (bitter)
- – Don't get freaked out by the amount of scumming involved
Open the windows
Sweat the vegetables in butter for five minutes
Add the fish and shells and continue to sweat for five more minutes
If using, add the alcohol and burn off on a high heat. If it's brandy you can also light it ☺
Add the herbs and tomatoes and stir
Add 2.5 litres of water
Simmer on a low heat with the lid on for an hour
Strain a few times. Throw out the vegetables.
If you really want it clear, crack an egg white in after you've strained the hot soup and slowly whisk to pick up all the last dirt specks. Strain one last time, and through cheese cloth if you really need to impress people.
Season with white pepper and salt if it needs it
Use or freeze

"How did they do THAT??"
Amazingly, there are still artisans in Russia who know how to make these shoes, and I was able to learn from a book published by master craftsman Vladimir Yaresh: Plaited Basketry with Birch Bark.
Last spring I spiral-stripped the bark off of an ornamental cherry tree that had been felled in a park near my home. The bark was incredibly tough and supple -- more like leather than tree bark -- and I knew exactly what I would use it for.
Thanks to the LFAS alumni exhibition -- a full-blown art show at the Roundhouse with over 90 artists -- the bark I had stripped a year ago finally got off my shelf and made into shoes. Though they're going to be displayed on a wall or a plinth at the art show, I'll be wearing them around after that.
Thanks to my friend Sharon Kallis for the photos of me and my shoes in-progress.

So yep, I found out about writing stuff on Twitter, and now I have several Twitter accounts, so this might get confusing…
@TessTheWriter is the main one, like for blog updates or whatever.
@AChickLitNovel is a twitternovel that'll probably take forever to finish, but will eventually. Jen takes her new girlfriend Mik to meet her daugher and stuff happens. An archive of this is here.
@TessThePoet is for an ongoing twitter poem thingy, so like an epic poem from days of old, except in very short verses. And about falling in love. And possibly dirty, depending how twitter feel about that which I don't know. So maybe not really like an epic poem from days of old. An archive of this is here.
@TessMackenize is for 140-character flash fiction stories as I happen to think of them. These probably don't need an archive, since there's nothing else on that account they're self-contained.
Also, there's weirdo poems I've been putting up on the main @TessTheWriter account, but those also go on Wattpad inside Sappho Made Me Do It, but there's an archive page for these here too.
So there you go!

You may have seen a recent announcement in the New York Times or The Villager regarding New York City's Community Parks Initiative (CPI). Friends of the High Line is excited to be one of the handful of the city's park conservancies to help support community parks in target CPI neighborhoods.
This partnership gives us the opportunity to extend the work we're already doing for the community close to the High Line through our programming, to neighborhoods in the South Bronx.
Our staff is looking forward to teaming up with local partners to help realize their plans for revitalizing their public spaces, and sharing our expertise in design, construction management, community engagement, education programming, horticulture, public art and job training for teens.
As details are still being finalized, follow our blog for more information in the coming months!

The real power of an Excel worksheet lies in the many things you can add to it. The most powerful functionality that can be added to a worksheet is a formula. If you didn't use formulas in your worksheet all you'd have is just a big sheet of numbers. Formulas use a combination of the various functions available in Excel, including cell references, numeric and text values, and operators (such as +, -, etc). Although this chapter discusses the dialog that displays when you select Insert Function, there is extensive information about functions covered in Part 3 of this book.
In addition to manipulating values, Excel provides the ability to create a graphical representation of data using charts. Not only can you select from one of the built-in chart types, you even create custom charts. Remember that after the chart is created, it needs to be modified using the options on the Chart menu covered in Chapter 10.

It looks as though Britain's first new grammar school in 50 years will get the go-ahead. Education secretary Nicky Morgan has said that she is "open to being convinced" ahead of her decision on the foundation of a satellite school in Kent next month. Her support would be welcomed by a number of Conservative backbenchers, who have been campaigning to bring back grammar schools, arguing that they aid social mobility.
The Weald of Kent grammar school, based in Tonbridge, Kent, had plans for a satellite school in Sevenoaks turned down by Morgan's predecessor Michael Gove last year because it failed to meet red tape requirements. Nearly half of its 1,200 pupils travel in from Sevenoaks, seven miles away. The school has already secured planning permission for the site and has raised funds of £16 million for the project.
The law currently prohibits new schools being opened, but changes introduced by the Coalition government allow schools to expand. Chairman of governors David Bower said "We believe Weald of Kent is ideally placed to establish an annexe. We are confident we can embrace students and staff across a split site operation to feel part of a single community." He indicated that the annexe would offer 90 new places per year group.
The Conservative grassroots group Conservative Voice has launched a campaign calling for a change in the law to allow new grammar schools to be created. Archie Macleod, communications director for Conservative Voice said: "For many people grammar schools are a beacon of social mobility, giving bright children the opportunity to get more out of their time in education.
"It is no secret that your socioeconomic background can affect the quality of education you receive as a child. Grammar schools are seen by many as a way of levelling the playing field, giving children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds the opportunity to receive the otherwise unobtainable standard of public school education."
A recent poll by YouGov for the Times found that 38 percent of people wanted to see new grammar schools established, against 26 percent who wanted the government to stop schools selecting by ability and opening up grammar schools to all pupils. 17 percent were undecided.
The poll also found that 54 percent of people would support the opening of a new grammar school in an area where there was public demand for such a school, and that 66 percent of parents would get their children to sit the entrance exam for grammar schools. 65 percent of parents would take up a place offered on the basis of a successful exam result.
Meanwhile, Nicky Morgan has indicated that she believes immigration is a good thing, because having children from a variety of ethnicities in a classroom drives up standards. Speaking to the Observer, Morgan said: "I'm not one of those people who thinks that immigration is always a bad thing. The evidence from London suggests that a rich ethnic mix can help to drive up standards. It's clear that many migrant families really support their children and appreciate the transforming power of education."
She also disagreed with Michael Gove's use of the term "the blob" to describe the obstructive education establishment, saying that it "didn't help".

JD celebrates E18HTEEN
Jermain Defoe appeared at Northumberland Park Community School in Tottenham on Thursday to mark a successful first six months of his E18HTEEN project.
Through the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, E18HTEEN has given the striker the opportunity to act as a positive role model for a group of young people aged 16 – 19, who are in care or care leavers and identified as NEET(Not in Education, Employment or Training).
In partnership with the GLA and the London Boroughs of Barnet, Haringey, Enfield and Waltham Forest, the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation offers each participant a dedicated mentor and individually tailored learning and development programme with access to 18 separate training and life skill workshops and 18 different sports.
Jermain, meanwhile, is playing an active role in offering advice and inspiration to the young people involved as they hope to gain the qualifications and experience needed to prepare them for independence and adulthood.
Thursday saw Jermain take four E18HTEEN participants – Ashley, Charlotte, Finnean and Pierre – to Northumberland Park School to deliver a football coaching session to Year 7 children as part of their coaching experience and volunteering commitment.
He said: "E18HTEEN is all about giving young people the opportunity to take courses and gain qualifications that can open doors for them to do something positive with their lives, focusing on 16-19 year olds who are or have been in care.
"There are many challenges facing this group of young people and some have had hard upbringings, but E18HTEEN can help change their lives.
"The guys on the project are brilliant. They're so honest. I have particularly been impressed with Charlotte, who really speaks from the heart – they all do – and as a result of what they have been through in their lives they are such genuine people who tell it how it is.
"I can tell they appreciate the help that E18HTEEN is giving them as perhaps they haven't had this sort of help in the past.
"For me personally, it's important for young people to see what I have achieved in my life and the hard work it has taken to get me to where I am today having come from the streets of East London.
"E18HTEEN has given me the chance to do just that, and it is a great feeling."

Walker, Texas Ranger (1993)
Online sa prevodom Walker, Texas Ranger is an American television action crime drama series created by Leslie Greif and Paul Haggis, both starring Chuck Norris as a member of the Texas Ranger Division. The show aired on CBS in the spring of 1993, with the first season consisting of three pilot episodes. Eight full seasons followed with new episodes airing from September 25, 1993 to May 19, 2001 and reruns continuing on CBS until July 28, 2001. It was broadcast in over 100 countries, and has since spawned a made-for-television movie, entitled Trial By Fire. The movie ended on a cliffhanger, which, as of 2013, has not yet been resolved. DVD sets of all seasons have been released. At various times since 1997, reruns of the show have aired, in syndication, on the USA Network and Action in Canada. As of September 13, 2010, the series is shown on WGN America. The show was known for its moral values. For example, the characters refrained from the use of drugs, and they participated in community service. Martial arts were displayed prominently as the primary tool of law enforcement and occasionally as a tool for Walker and company to reach out to the community. The show has since become one of the most popular action shows in television history and has gained a cult following for its camp appeal.

Time really flies so fast! In my head, I am still a 23 years old and then all of a sudden I wake up and i am 27!
23 was a tough year for me! I still remember the first day I landed in United States, I was like a little girl with big dreams! Though i was 23 and had been staying away from my family since my under-graduation, but travelling to a whole new country, leaving behind all the beautiful memories of childhood, the time spent with my family & friends and the very essence of the Land of Dreams and diversity (India), was definitely not just a cake walk! Looking back to all those years of struggle (still struggling in many ways) and my journey, a journey which only a few people in my life are aware of, makes me feel a lot more confident & inspired by my own self.
I was never a party person, and I haven't really changed at all in that sense. Although a lot of things have changed in life, such as me first of all 🙂 my aspirations, I have started to enjoy my own company, believing in my dreams, creating a better life for me and the people around me, and admiring each & every little thing life has given to me.
If you can read my face, you can tell that I am not at all a loud person. Its easy to say by most people that their life is a open book, but literally my life's not! You can't really tell from my face each & every struggle I have gone through and the things (that i loved) i have compromised to reach where i am today (Definitely in a positive way).
This year has been different for me. My blog is and will eventually become my inner voice someday (when i am ready for it) but for now lets talk about this post i have been waiting to share on how i celebrated my birthday alone 🙂 😛 🙁 (mixed feelings lol) First of all by "Alone" I don't really mean that i was sitting at my place doing nothing, what i mean is how i celebrated every bit of my big day with the tini-tiny things I absolutely love & consider as a gift of God.
(And yes as you read further, you will know what to get for me on my next bday :P)
There's something taboo about being alone your birthday, much like New Year's Eve. A day that's meant to celebrate new beginnings, it seems must be spent in the company of other's doing the same. But think about spending your birthday with people/ acquaintances you barely see everyday or not even like them lol! I don't think that's something i would want to do! I like to spend intimate time with my loved ones on my birthday & if they are not with me at the moment then being "alone" is definitely another journey of my exploration.
»You're literally free to do whatever you want to follow whatever strange impulse comes over you!
»No one will be there to judge you for doing the things that are important you.
»You are free to stop & appreciate all the little things you come across on your solo adventure.
I wanted to make this special for me & i couldn't think about any other color than "RED" for the day. A dress that makes you feel beautiful and comfortable in your own skin, more like a doll 🙂 is all you can ask for. I found this perfect dress from Shein with pretty amazing bow details on the sleeves. Shein is an online clothing website where you can find the prettiest & super fun dresses of all times, something perfect for every occasion. Trust me!
Balloons & flowers are 2 of my life-long friends since i was a little kid! I still remember my mommy used to fill up the room with dozens of them on my birthday back in India, no matter what was my age or how old i am today, she definitely knows i still love them! (well….I miss her already! )
Since i was alone, i decided to buy myself a bunch of red balloons (matching with my dress :P) and some lovely fresh peach roses (red roses are not my thing i guess) and i enjoyed my day "my way". It has never been same away from my family but on a serious note, more & more, especially today, I have come to appreciate alone-ness for the thousands of lessons it teaches us making us more self-reliable, independent and audacious each & every minute. Alone-ness doesn't really mean lack of love, it means searching or exploring your happiness in things you love to do or the people you want yourself to be surrounded with. Its a path to inner happiness! The kind of happiness i found in wearing my cute little dress, holding a bouquet of roses & balloons and walking around the neighborhood & reminiscing each and every happy moment or decision of my life!
It's OK to surrender to what is, to let go of what was, to have faith in what will be.
You can find a perfect dress for your special day here: Shein
Hope you enjoyed my post and it inspired you in some or the other way!
Until next,
The Urbanista ♥

A&E Jobs with MSI GroupAbout
Accident and Emergency is one of the most high pressure environments in the entire health profession. The department is usually very busy and there will be a wide range of illnesses and injuries that will need to be dealt with effectively.
To work as part of an A&E team you need to be able to cope with working under a lot of pressure and execute tasks quickly and to a good standard - after all you might be responsible for saving someone's life if it's a serious accident.
Although extremely hard work this department can also be very rewarding - making A&E jobs some of the most saught after roles in the industry.
Often associated with doctors and nurses, A&E jobs also include various other medical professionals that need to be on hand to allow emergency care to be administered quickly. Paramedics are usually based in an A&E unit and will often provide medical assistance until a full A&E team is present. Radiographers also work in A&E as they need to be on hand to perform various scans to provide an overview of the condition before the doctors decide what needs to be done.
Trauma surgeons are on hand in A&E to perform emergency surgical procedures which are almost always life saving operations. These various A&E jobs require extraordinary versatility and an overall extensive knowledge of medicine.
The varied nature of injuries that can be seen in A&E can often mean specialists will need to be consulted to provide long term care, but as a department the responsibility of A&E is to ensure that each patient is stabilised and patched up enough for them to be admitted and sent to the specilialist, straight to theatre or sent to intensive care.
At MSI Group we have various A&E jobs available throughout the country, browse our jobs section for more information about them.

Automatic Mapping will choose the maxiumum values for the clipping automatically or the values can be entered manually.
Fast: Takes advantage of all your processors!
This example was rendered in the Cinema Editor with only the Curvature Shader in the Luminance Channel with an object containing 10 mio (!!) polygons. Two blur passes are done too. The time needed on a twelve-core machine is 6 seconds (5 are needed for Cinema to prepare). If that speed is not yet enough, you can always just bake your map!
Wind and Blur: For smooth and windy results!
Fill 'Hole' Feature: Apply fixes for small problems or use it as another tweak in the mix with the other parameters!
Universal: Works on anything that finally creates polygons, including Hypernurbs!

Face-lift for Facebook answers user complaints
Social media giant says site will be easier to use
MENLO PARK, Calif. — Facebook has redesigned the main attraction of its social network to address complaints that its website has turned into a jumble of monotonous musings and random photos.
In an attempt to breathe new life into Facebook's News Feed, the company will introduce new controls that allow people to sort streams of photos and other material into organized sections.
With the makeover unveiled Thursday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg hopes to turn the News Feed into something more like a newspaper tailored to the particular interests of each of the social network's more than 1 billion worldwide users.
Although Zuckerberg didn't say it, the overhaul also appears to be aimed at carving out more space to show larger and more dynamic ads within the News Feed as Facebook seeks to boost its revenue and stock price.
Previous tweaks to the News Feed have triggered howls of protest among Facebook's users. Hoping to minimize the grousing this time around, Facebook intends to roll out the changes in phases. It will probably be six months to a year before everyone who accesses Facebook on a personal computer sees the revamped News Feed, the company said.
The face-lift is likely to be more jarring for those who only visit Facebook on a PC because it incorporates some features already deployed in the social network's mobile applications for smartphones and tablet computers.
"They needed to freshen things up," said Brian Blau, research director of consumer technologies for Gartner Inc. "This should bring a lot of cooler things" into the News Feed.
The new features will enable users to choose to see streams of content that may feature nothing but photos or posts from their closest friends, family members or favorite businesses. Or they can just peruse content about music, or sports, as if they were grabbing a section of a newspaper. Other newspaper-like changes will include lists of events that users' social circles have flagged for the upcoming weekend and other summaries meant to resemble a table of contents.
By adding more personal touches, Facebook is acknowledging that the computer-generated formulas that it has been using to determine the content shown to each user have become less effective as the social circles within its network have widened to include a more diverse array of information.
"This gives people more power to dig deeper into the topics they care about," Zuckerberg said while discussing the makeover at Facebook's Menlo Park, Calif. headquarters.
Facebook still intends to rely on algorithms to select some material to feature on the main part of the News Feed, much like newspaper editors determine what goes on the front page.
More space on the News Feed's front page and other sections space will be devoted to pictures and video in recognition of how dominant those visual elements have become on Facebook as smartphones and tablet computers equipped with high-quality cameras have made it easier to share snapshots and clips.
About 50 percent of the posts on News Feed include a photo.

Children are one of the most special and rewarding parts of life. Their laughter, their inquisitive nature, and their energy make each day a unique and rewarding gift.
However, when they are babies, if you don't have a clean place to put their diapers, you will have to enjoy their best qualities through a cloud of stinkiness. That is why you need to make sure to find the best diaper pail on the market!
The Best Diaper Pails (Updated)
Diaper Pail
Munchkin Arm and Hammer Diaper Pail *Best Choice*
(*) Below, you'll find my detailed reviews, but you can also click the links above to see prices and read customer's reviews on Amazon.
Buyer's Guide
What Features To Look For in The Best Diaper Pail
1. Child Safety Feature
When you begin your search for a diaper pail, take into account that you will not be the only one that is accessing the diaper pail. Once your child gets a bit older, they will be able to get to it as well.
Since you may be using plastic bags in your pail, be sure that it comes with a childproof lock, as they can present a choking hazard for your child.
2. Pail Material
While it might not seem like that big of a deal, the material that you choose for your diaper pail will have its advantages and disadvantages.
Plastic pails are cheaper than metal, have more features, and are more widely available. However, they are more likely to absorb odors, even if you clean them. They will also be less durable than metal pails.
Metal pails will not absorb odors, saving you lots of cleaning time. They are also durable in comparison to plastic containers. However, metal pails are more expensive than plastic containers. They will also have to use plastic liners since liquids could cause them to rust.
3. Pail Size
Babies, especially newborns, go through a lot of diapers. If you select a container that has a small diaper capacity, you will be changing it a lot!
4. Bag Type
Specialized - Depending upon which pail you pick, you may have to use specialized bags that are designed for that particular pail. They will usually have some great features, which, while expensive, are worth looking into. Features like:
- Closure Systems - This feature allows you to quickly and easily close up the bag without having to tie it shut.
- Odor Eliminators - Some of the specialized bags may have an odor eliminator capsule that you fill with a fragrance or baking soda to better eliminate bad smells.
- Perforated Bag - This component allows you to remove part of the bag whenever you would like simply. It would be ideal for especially messy diapers that you don't want sitting in the pail for an extended period.
Cloth - A fabric liner is the most economic liner choice, and will usually come with great designs. It is also better for the environment since you will be reusing it rather than throwing it in the trash every time you fill it up. However, you will need to be sure that give it a good washing from time to time since it will soak up odors and liquids.
Trash Bag - Another more economical option than the specialized bags, a pail that accepts regular garbage bags will cost you less over the years that your child is in diapers. However, if you use a size that is incorrect for your pail, you will end up wasting some of the bags, since it will not be full. Regular garbage bags will also not help in eliminating odors.
5. Odor Control System
While a good diaper pail will seal up tightly when it is shut to keep odors in; you still may need some extra odor control. There are several ways that this can be achieved.
Scented Pail Liners - Certain pail liners, or even particular trash bags for that matter, will have a pleasant scent by design. While this will help, it will not cover up a stinky diaper, and should not be relied upon as the only means of odor control.
Air Filters - These small carbon filters are attached to the underside of the diaper pail lid. They do an excellent job of cleaning out the air and keeping your rooms smelling clean and fresh. However, this will be another added cost, since you need to purchase the specific filters that go along with your pail.
Deodorizing Powder - This odor control system works very much the same as the air filters, with one significant difference. While you will need to find a diaper pail that has a capsule for it, you can usually just inexpensive baking soda.
This will do just as good of a job as the carbon filters but will save you a ton of money over the years you will be using the diaper pail.
6. Ease of Use
Most of the time that you are using the diaper pail, you will be doing so one-handed, since you will probably be carrying your baby. Therefore, you should look for a receptacle that is easy to use and has features that take into account your one-handedness. Features like
Foot Pedal - A foot pedal will allow you to open and shut the pail without using your hands at all, which will make it that much easier for you.
Easy Use Child Lock - As mentioned earlier, you should look for a pail that has a child-safety lock. Since you want to make sure you use it at all times, the lock should be easy for you to engage and disengage, preferably with one push or a simple twist.
Easy Open Lid - If your desired pail does not have a foot pedal, this is the next best feature. It allows you to quickly open the pail with one hand, without having to lift up the lid.
7. Cost
While the initial cost of the diaper pail needs to be taken into account, you also need to think of the number of liners and air filters you will need to purchase as well. This information can help you decide which pail will work best for your family.
Top Five Diaper Pails
1. Munchkin Arm and Hammer Diaper Pail
An easy to use diaper pail, this Munchkin brand pail comes equipped with a pod on the lid to hold baking soda. This was an effect and cheap way to control odors. Its bagging system is also really unique since the bags seal up with a plastic snap instead of with a tie.
Child Safety Feature - Both the front and the top of the pail open. They both have a child safety lock that can be engaged or disengaged by the twisting of a handle.
Pail Size - The pail will be full after
Bag Type - This pail requires specialized bags, which you can view by clicking here.
Odor Control System - There is a small container on the underside of the lid which you put baking soda into to remove odors.
Ease of Use - The pail has an easy to open clasp for its top, which can easily be operated by hand. The bags are convenient and easy to install and remove, and the child safety features can be quickly engaged and disengaged.
Cost - Of all the diaper pails that were reviewed, this is the most expensive, both up front and, because of its bagging system, over the long haul as well.
Drawbacks - This pail's design is well thought out and efficient at controlling odors. It is also easy to use. It's only real drawback is its high upfront cost and its operational costs as well.
2. Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail
The only metal diaper pail that was reviewed, it can come in a wide variety of colors. It has lots of great features that make it easy to use, and while it has a higher upfront cost, it will be cheaper to operate than some other pails on this list.
Child Safety Feature - There is a twistable lock on the top of the pail which will keep it secured and shut. Since you don't have to operate this latch until you wish to empty the unit, it is incredibly safe and efficient.
Pail Material - The pail is made out of strong and durable steel. This will keep it from absorbing odors from its contents.
Pail Size - The Ubbi pail can hold the largest amount of diapers out of those reviewed, a whopping 50 diapers!
Bag Type - No special bags are required. You can simply use a tall kitchen bag or a cloth liner.
Odor Control System - The pail does not come with any filters or capsules to put odor reducers in. However, it seals up tight thanks to rubber rims around the top.
Ease of Use - Thanks to the sliding top, you can quickly open and shut the Ubbi with one hand. Emptying the diaper pail is simple too. All you need to do is unlock the top, and pull out the bag.
Cost - The Ubbi was a bit more on the expensive side, but since you will not need to purchase any special filters or bags, it will probably save you money in the long run.
Drawbacks - The lack of an odor control system outside of a sealed top is the Ubbi's main weakness. Otherwise, it is a solid choice overall.
3. Baby Trend Diaper Champ Deluxe
One of the cheapest diaper pails that were reviewed, the Baby Trend has lots of useful features. It is relatively easy to use and would be a great option for someone on a tight budget.
Child Safety Feature - To access the original bag, you need to push a button and pull up on a lever.
Pail Material - The pail is made of plastic. It should be regularly cleaned to keep it from getting too smelly.
Pail Size - The Baby Trend pail will hold up to 30 dirty diapers.
Bag Type - You have the option to use specialized odor blocking bags or regular trash bags. Either one will work just as well at keeping the pail clean and dry.
Odor Control System - The only system utilized by this pail is the specialized bags that you can purchase. Otherwise, it relies on keeping itself closed to keep away the smells.
Ease of Use - Even though there is a foot pedal on the pail, you do not use it to open the lid. You must step on the pedal and then flip the top open. This was somewhat inconvenient to accomplish. If you are in a hurry and want to put the diaper in you may have difficulty since you need to hold it in place with your foot to open it. Once you have put the diaper in, you simply flip the lid back down.
Cost - An incredibly cheap diaper pail, both in upfront costs and in its use, this would be a great diaper pail for someone on a tight budget.
Drawbacks - The closure system is a bit of a pain. It may also become somewhat smelly, especially if you just use regular trash bags since it has no odor elimination system.
4. Dekor Classic Hand-Free Diaper Pail
The Dekor diaper pail is a great value, with a low upfront cost, easy open latch, great safety features, and a unique bagging system.
Child Safety Feature - There are two different safety locks, one on the front access door and one on the lid. Both of them will only need to be utilized when either adding bags or removing bags. This will make it less likely that your little ones will be able to open it up.
Pail Material - This pail is made with something called closed cell plastics, which is supposed to prevent it from absorbing odors, much like metal.
Pail Size - The second largest pail that was reviewed, it can hold up to 45 diapers.
Bag Type - The Dekor uses a specialized bagging system. Once the bag is full, you can remove just a portion of it, and then retie the bag at the bottom, making it, so you don't need to put a new bag in place. This unique system is illustrated here.
Odor Control System - The bags come with a coverage scent, and the diaper pail itself has rubber stoppers around the lid that seal it tightly.
Ease of Use - Changing the bags is simple and opening the pail is also easy. You simply need to press down on the pedal, and the lid opens up.
Cost - This is the cheapest pail upfront. However, you will need to pay out a bit more on bags than some other models.
Drawbacks - While the unique bagging system is pretty easy to use, it will end up costing you in the long run in comparison to other pails that can use everyday trash bags.
5. Munchkin Step Diaper Pail
The Munchkin diaper pail is easy to use and has the most odor preventing features out of all the pails that were reviewed.
Child Safety Feature - There is an out of reach, at least for very young children, button on the top of the lid. To enable or disable this feature, you simply push it down.
Pail Material - This pail is made out of metal, which will keep it from collection odors.
Pail Size - The pail can hold up to 30 diapers.
Bag Type - The Munchkin pail can utilize two different types of specialized bags, allowing you to select the one that best works for you. It can use either ring or snap, seal and toss bagging systems.
Odor Control System - There are a lot of different odor controlling features. The pail seals the bag each time you close the lid, there is a spot for a baking soda ring, the pail is made of metal, and the bags have an odor blocking scent.
Ease of Use - The bags are easy to remove and replace, and you can easily open the lid by pressing down on the pedal at the bottom.
Cost - The upfront cost of the pail is relatively small, but the running costs will be higher with this model since it uses specialized bags and odor blockers.
Drawbacks - While it worked well at blocking out odors, it's long term costs hold this diaper pail from being the best diaper pail available.
So Which Pail is the Best?
Overall, the best diaper pail that was reviewed was the Munchkin Arm and Hammer Diaper Pail. Though its upfront costs were the highest, the running costs more than makeup for it. The pail, which was easy to use, also had a cheap and effect way to absorb smells, since it utilized regular baking soda.

Physical Therapy for Broken Hip
A broken or fractured hip resulting from a serious fall or accident would require hospitalization. It may not be common among youngsters as they tend to have strong bones which can tolerate the impact better. While surgery may be required for some, physical therapy for broken hip would be necessary for all especially as one would eventually have to overcome pain and restore the body's range of motion.
Rehabilitation and Therapeutic Sessions
Rehabilitation and therapeutic sessions would commence as soon as possible. Physiotherapists start by helping patients walk. This prevents complications such as blood clots, joint stiffness and worsening of pain. A cane or walker would help patients in moving about gradually. Certain therapeutic exercises would help to improve the body's strength and mobility. The physiotherapists would assist patients in gait training for balance and coordination. Read more…

The conference hall was built by Vo Trong Nghia Co. Ltd headed by Viet Nam's renowned architect Vo Trong Nghia. Dai Lai Conference Hall, which is built mainly with stone and bamboo, was designed with a very unique architecture style in the image of a Vietnamese cottage. The International Architecture Awards are considered prestigious awards in the world for new architecture works around the globe. The awards were initiated in 2005 by Chicago Museum of Architecture and Design, to honour the most outstanding architecture which has been designed and built worldwide. This is the sixth time Vo Trong Nghia Company won this prestigious award. Also this year, the company has won four international awards, including the prestigious World Architecture Festival (WAF), and FuturArc Prize and FuturArc Green Leadership. — Photo courtesy of Vo Trong Nghia Co.

As defenders, we need to learn about attackers and the techniques they use to compromise endpoints. We are put into a position of constantly learning and adapting to attackers. The good news is applying our knowledge is getting easier.
In this blog, I will demonstrate how to apply knowledge gained by reverse engineering and put it to use with Carbon Black. Specifically, I'll detect an advanced technique used by attackers to elevate privileges on an endpoint.
The typical lifecycle of an attacker on an endpoint can be broken down into the following stages:
- Remote execution on an endpoint
- Survey the endpoint
- Privilege escalate to "SYSTEM" or "Administrator"
- Persist through reboot with new privileges
- Exfil targeted data
- Uninstall
Today, we will be focusing on the detection of privilege escalation to "SYSTEM" or "Administrator."
Generally, an attacker will try to elevate privileges to write to system files in order to survive reboots or load kernel drivers. There is a common technique used by most – a module load of ntoskrnl.exe or ntkrnlpa.exe.
Attackers use this technique because of the helpful nature of the LoadLibrary Windows Native API function. This function maps a DLL inside of your process but, more importantly, handles relocations. This gives the attacker a view of the kernel inside of their process space to calculate offsets and find where exported functions are located.
Given the attacker knows the base address of the real ntoskrnl.exe, they can use their copy of the kernel to find everything they need to successfully exploit the running kernel.
Carbon Black monitors all modules loads, thus we can detect attempts of mapping the kernel using LoadLibrary.
The above picture shows this piece of malware using kernel exploitation for privilege escalation. Note the usage of LoadLibrary to load ntoskrnl.exe or ntkrnlpa.exe. The exploit uses this technique to find the address of the HalDispatchTable. It then overwrites the HalDispatchTable with user controlled data to gain execution. The type of the exploit doesn't matter, what we care about is the technique. This technique is still being used.
Now, let's create a watchlist to find this behavior.
First, enter "modload:ntoskrnl.exe or modload:ntkrnlpa.exe" into the search box and click "Add Watchlist."
Now that the watchlist is in place, I'll run the malicious exploit to show what it would look like to Carbon Black.
We have successfully detected the binary!
From here, we can download the binary and perform binary detonation to verify there was malicious intent. I looked for this behavior on our test server and found very few instances of this prior to creating this watchlist. This is an indication of a good watchlist for us since false positives take up valuable time.
There are very few legitimate cases where a process would need to load ntoskrnl.exe or ntkrnlpa.exe into its process.
Let's review what we have accomplished:
- Analyzed a binary for detectable techniques
- Created a watchlist to alert us on this technique
- Verified the watchlist works
I hope many people use the ideas in this blog to advance their threat hunting and create new detection techniques. This is only a single example where knowing techniques used by attackers can help with threat hunting. I hope we can start a discussion for more.
