Current Law Students / Re: INSTITUTIONAL DENIAL ABOUT THE DARK SIDE OF LAW SCHOOL« on: February 14, 2012, 03:01:28 PM »
QuoteThere is this inherent insecurity about the consequences of your actions (related to the absurdity of the world), and to the fact that, in experiencing your freedom, you also realize that you will be fully responsible for these consequences; there is no thing in you (your genes, for instance) that acts and that you can "blame" if something goes wrong. Of course, most of us only have short and shallow encounters with this kind of dread, as not every choice is perceived as having dreadful possible consequences (and, it can be claimed, our lives would be unbearable if every choice facilitated dread), but that doesn't change the fact that freedom remains a condition of every action.
Sartre calls it "bad faith" when you deny the concept of free will by lying to yourself about your self and freedom. This can take many forms, from convincing yourself that some form of determinism is true, to a sort of "mimicry" where you act as "you should." How "one" should act is often determined by an image one has of how one such as oneself (say, a bank manager) acts. This image usually corresponds to some sort of social norm. This does not mean that all acting in accordance with social norms is bad faith: The main point is the attitude you takes to your own freedom, and the extent to which you act in accordance with this freedom. A sign of bad faith can be something like the denial of responsibility for something you have done on the grounds that you just did "as one does" or that your genes determined you to do as you did. Lying to yourself might appear impossible or contradictory. Sartre denies the subconscious the power to do this, and he claims that the person who is lying to himself has to be aware that he is lying - that he isn't determined, or this "thing" he makes himself out to be.
[...] Sartre indeed derides those who act out roles: bourgeoisie with their comfortable sense of 'duty', homosexuals who pretend to be heterosexuals, peeping Toms who get caught in the act of spying and, most famously of all, waiters who rush about. All of these, he says, are slaves to other people's perceptions - 'the Other'. They are exhibiting mauvaise foi -- 'bad faith'. He emphasizes what is not over what is, the latter being a rather humdrum sort of affair consisting of the kind of things that scientists examine, while the 'what is not' is really much more interesting. [...] And hence, we come back to our own natures, our own 'essences'. We exist, yes, but how do we 'define ourselves'? It is here that the waiter comes in:QuoteHis movement is quick and forward, a little too precise, a little too rapid. He comes toward the patrons with a step a little too quick. He bends forward a little too eagerly; his voice, his eyes express an interest a little too solicitous for the order of the customer. Finally there he returns, trying to imitate in his walk the inflexible stiffness of some kind of automaton while carrying his tray with the recklessness of a tight-rope walker by putting it in a perpetually unstable, perpetually broken equilibrium which he perpetually re-establishes by a light movement of the hand and arm
This spotlight on 'consciousness' is what made Sartre's name. But, curiously enough [...] his lifelong intellectual confidante and companion Simone de Beauvoir, also describes various kinds of consciousness, in passages ranging from wandering through an empty theater (the stage, the walls, the chairs, unable to come alive until there is an audience) [...] As well as this one:QuoteIt's impossible to believe that other people are conscious beings, aware of their own inward feelings, as we ourselves are aware of our own," said Françoise. "To me, it's terrifying when we grasp that. We get the impression of no longer being anything but a fragment of someone else's mind."
[...] Now who's showing bad faith? Sartre or the waiter?
[...] Truly it is itself a philosophical tale. On the one hand there is the well-known plot of Sartre the womanizer who denies the dutiful Beauvoir the marriage in order to preserve his 'existential freedom'. On the other, and much less known, is the factual history recorded in their letters to one another. This records that, in 1930, Sartre proposed marriage to Beauvoir. She was aghast at this, both for the conventionality of the proposal, and for the conventionality of Sartre's assumptions, and it was she who insisted instead that if they were to spend their years together she wanted to be able to continue to have other relationships (with both male and female lovers).
[...] back to the waiter. Now I've observed waiters too. They often need to perform tasks quickly, for a practical reason, not an optional one related to their 'false consciousness'. The job is skilled -- demanding more than demeaning [...]
That's what happens when people sit all day long in a coffee shop - they would, of course, have nothing else to do but watch waiters come and go!

TextNevertheless, its location - shooting off from the sun's left side - allowed Nasa to capture this remarkable footage of the flare from the SDO spacecraft. 'Great eruption happening on the sun now,' Nasa scientists wrote in a Twitter post. The spectacular flare erupted from an active region of the sun which may also be responsible for solar storm activity seen on Sunday, officials from the agency told Space.com.

TextSolar flares are measured on a letter scale, with the strongest classified as C, M and X. X class storms are the most powerful events and when blowing in the direction of Earth they can pose a danger to orbiting astronauts and spacecraft, as well as power grids, communications and navigation systems on the ground. MailOnline science last month reported how the magnetic field around the sun is set to change in the next decades, cutting down the number of sunspots and explosive solar events. However, those events that do occur will be more damaging, with experts warning that our spacecraft and aircraft may be unable to cope. Changes in the Sun's magnetic field could also leave our planet more exposed to galactic cosmic rays - and people in planes and spacecraft would bear the brunt of this alien radiation.

The flare was captured by NASA specialists and categorized as a class M flare, which is right in the middle on the scale of sun storms. Although the eruption looked tremendous it was not the strongest solar activity of the year. Earlier this year the Earth was battered by two massive solar storms that sent streams of charged particles towards the planet. Scientists say the sun is currently in an active phase of its 11-year solar cycle and is expected to reach peak activity in 2013. +4 (6 votes)

The Ghosts of Heaven, by Sedgwick, Marcus
- Cover: Paperback
- Copyright: 10/25/2016
Timeless, beautiful, and haunting, spirals connect four episodes, from prehistory through the far future, in this Michael L. Printz Honor Book.
In prehistory, a girl picks up a charred stick and makes the first written signs.
Tens of centuries later, the treacherous waters of Golden Beck take Anna, who people call a witch.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, in the halls of a Long Island hospital at the beginning of the twentieth century, a mad poet watches the ocean and knows the horrors it hides
And there in the far future, as an astronaut faces his destiny on the first spaceship sent from earth to colonize another world.
Each of the characters in these mysterious linked stories embarks on a journey of discovery and survival; carried forward through the spiral of time, none will return to the same place.
The Ghosts of Heaven is a mesmerizing novel from Printz Award winner Marcus Sedgwick, author of Midwinterblood, Revolver, and She Is Not Invisible.

From, USA:
My friend's daughter is 14 years old and has had diabetes since age seven. For the past year, she has been in DKA and in the hospital almost every two weeks to monthly. Her sugars are running 400-500's mg/dl (22.2-27.8 mmol/L) and ketones are moderate to large. Her insulin dose keeps going up. When her sugars are up, she gets regular insulin hourly. Her sugars will not come down, until the evening and then they are 200's mg/dl (11.1 mmol/L). Ketones are never negative, worse in the morning. We are hoping that you could help us with some ideas. She has been under the care of a University Hospital and is now under the care of a diabetes specialist without any progress. She complains of tiredness and weakness.
It sounds like she needs a lot of support from her diabetes team members. The teenage years are a difficult period and a time when your friend will probably need a lot of support from you as well as the team.
Remember, it is very hard to come to terms with diabetes when a kid hits the teenage years, and this can make control very difficult. Often only by supporting your friend through this difficult time can she be able to pull through.
d I am sure the diabetes team are considering how they might help, but it may be worth talking things over with them.

Japanese police have attracted attention for their flashy samurai-style takedown of a knife-wielding maniac who had already stabbed one officer, being photographed in a "swordfight" as they subdued him.
The incident began one morning with police in the historic city of Nara receiving a report of a "quarrel" in which one man had been stabbed.
Police arrived in the area in force, dispatching some 40 officers to the area, and began searching for the suspect.
Soon a sergeant found the suspect, a 31-year-old unemployed man later found to have 3 kitchen and fruit knives in his possession (he can be seen dual-wielding in the photographs), 400m away from his home, and approached him for questioning.
He did not however come willingly, stabbing at one officer's head and injuring him lightly. Reinforcements arrived rapidly and began to subdue him in uniquely Japanese style, using their batons as bokken:
The man was arrested and charged with interfering with police duties and assaulting a police officer, charges he denies saying "I have absolutely no recollection of the event."
Whatever else can be said of Japanese police (who carry pistols as standard), they do deserve credit for not lazily gunning the suspect down or tasering him into cardiac arrest as police elsewhere do frequently.

I have been focusing on many different parts of my project this week, such as experimenting, brainstorming, and the scientist's notebook.
One thing that I have learned about the scientific process, is that whatever you are doing, something will almost always go wrong. Part of the scientific process is working around these obstacles, understanding them, and learning from them. For example, when I am trying to do tests with my "Lab" assistant, Jessie, (pun intended) some of the time, she does not cooperate. That is one of the many obstacles that I must overcome to succeed in my experiments, and the overall process of my invention.
Although sometimes I run into challenges, I still am having lots of fun and I am learning a lot from this whole experience.

I am Proud to be gay. Although I can say this confidently today, the feeling did not come easily. There was a time in my young life when I would cry myself to sleep begging God to hit the delete button on my attraction to men. When I woke in the morning I would feel the heaviness in my chest and know the curse had not been lifted. Instead, it remained the shameful secret I could not confess to my friends and family.
Over time, I realized that being gay is not something that happened to me but is a part of who I am. I also realized that I cannot be defined simply by my sexuality and that being gay would not limit the person I wanted to become. Being gay has not kept me from living my life or realizing my dreams. I have found respect as a health care professional, student, small business owner, church member, community leader, family member, and friend. One day I hope to have a husband to travel the world and create a family with. Following my heart has led me to great success in life. Following my heart has also led to loving myself and honoring the love I feel for others.
What's more, I am proud of who I am become because I am gay. In fact, I would say that living as an openly gay man has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. While it has been difficult at times, especially when coming out, being gay has taught me to explore and question who I am, find my inner strength, use my voice, embrace diversity, never take love for granted, demand my rights, and fight for the dignity of all people. Living as an openly gay man has made me a better person, a better friend, and a better citizen. It is for all these reasons that I can say I am Proud to be gay.
Coming out is not something that happens once, but is an ongoing process of discovering your true self and finding the strength to share who you are with the world. I wish I could say there was a magical time when being gay was no longer an issue to be faced. The truth is, there will always be people who are afraid of things that challenge their beliefs and fears that bring out the worst in us all. Despite this, my life has taught me to look for the best in myself and in others and celebrate those things that make us unique.

"Superior Spider-Man" Returns in August with "Spider-Verse" Prelude
Just weeks after the often controversial — and undeniably popular — "Superior Spider-Man" wrapped with issue #31, Marvel has revealed that the series will return in August for a two-issue stint, picking up where the numbering left off and leading directly into the "Spider-Verse" event.
"Superior Spider-Man" #32 and #33 are scheduled for August and September, respectively, from the writing team of Spidey mastermind Dan Slott and his frequent collaborator Christos Gage, along with art from Giuseppe Camuncoli (illustrating issue #32) and Adam Kubert (#33).
These "Superior Spider-Man" issues will once again star Doctor Octopus' consciousness controlling Peter Parker's body, telling the story of the nine hours the title character was displaced from the timeline in "Superior" #19. "Is this an untold chapter of the past, a tale of the future, or both?" Gage asked Marvel.com.
The story serves as prelude to "Spider-Verse," the October-debuting event featuring "every Spider-Man ever," at least among the ones legally within bounds to use.
"'Superior Spider-Man' #32 kicks off the edge of Spider-Verse," said Marvel's Spider-Man line editor Nick Lowe. "Superior Spider-Man finds himself in 2099, finally a time where science and intellectual advancement is at least closer to his genius. He needs to find his way home, but things get a little more complicated than that."

A daisy wheel is a wheel used in a daisy wheel printer.
The daisy wheel itself consisted of a wheel of spokes, each spoke containing a printable character. When a letter was being printed, the wheel would rotate to the proper character and "bang" it out onto the paper (via the standard ribbon printing process), giving it an imprinted look and feel.
The daisy wheel printing method was first patented in 1942 by General Electric. It was first commercialized by Diablo (later bought out by Xerox) and reached its zenith in the late 1960s. It could print up to 80 characters per second, making it ideal for early 110 and 240 baud modems. Of course, the daisy wheel was soon circumvented by dot matrix printers, and are seeing as an archaic relic today.
The big advantage to the daisy wheel over other printing methods available at the time was that you could change the font simply by changing out the daisy wheel. However, they are extremely loud (louder than a dot matrix!) due to the "bang" nature of the printed character, and of course, compared to even the cheapest of modern-day inkjet and laser printers, they are too slow to even merit consideration.

August 2006, Auto Dealer Today - WebXclusive
by Ellen McKoy
- Also by this author
By adding restyling sizzle to in-stock units — be they new or used, import or domestic, passenger cars or light - duty trucks — you will pique customer interest, build a strong dealership identity and boost floor traffic. The more traffic you bring in, the more vehicles your customers drive out — and the more your dealership's profits add up.
In fact, consumers typically spend an average of $1,000 — and often as much as $3,500 — per vehicle annually on accessories, but dealers only capture a mere 16 percent of all accessory sales. That leaves a lot of money on the table. Money your customers should be spending at your dealership.
From a consumer's point of view, accessorizing makes a vehicle more personal and unique, more lifestyle compatible, more comfortable and certainly more fun to drive. And there's a vast array of accessories that can do the trick. From specialty wheels and tires, to sunroofs, graphics, ground effects and truck gear, to interior upgrades, such as dash kits, leather seating or mobile entertainment systems, there are easy styling solutions to significantly boost inventory turns and increase bottom-line profit on nearly every in-stock unit.
Accessorizing is the cornerstone to building high-margin profit centers throughout a dealership, from F&I and fixed operations to new and used car departments. But it takes more than selling a few colorful accessories to maximize your restyling dollars. It also involves fashion and science. So, it stands to reason that dealers need to team up with a restyling expert, and throughout the country, there are qualified professionals who have the skills, know-how and expertise to create appealing, high-profit accessory packages.

text: It seems there are some people making a consistent amount of money with sports trading in places such as betfair and betdaq. Although everyone keeps on saying that to achieve a constant profit margin on trading a great deal of knowledge is required. I once before thought on trading as a part time business but at the time the only trading I knew was Forex trading and a great investement was needed to start making some profit. With bet trading the market is somewhat different, it's a more accessible market with much more liquidity. I know nothing about trading though, not in forex or bet trading, can anyone recommend me some good book or forum to read to learn everything I need to learn about bet trading? Thanks in advance

The restoration will come, but this says nothing of the fate of present-day conformists, those middle-of-the-roaders, who refuse to see that they are exactly where their seducers have planned for them to be. The abandonment of the True Mass is an act of highest infidelity; participation in the "New Mass" (in any form, in any language) is complicity in the Great Sacrilege. Those who either "say" it or attend it are helping to prolong its life, are effectively denying their Faith, and are exposing themselves and those in their charge to its satanic influence.
All must admit that insofar as they have accepted the "New Mass," they have allowed themselves to be "processed" into identifying the True Faith with the humanistic pantheism of the Revolution. While granting almost divine honors to Pope Paul VI, we came to regard the Holy Mass as nothing more than a human fabrication, a mere Masonic exercise. Thinking our superiors would never dream of doing in its regard anything but what was good, necessary, and permissible, we stood by and watched them make a Joke of it, to the delight of those who hate it more than we love it. Thus, we ourselves have now grown used to their impious familiarity, their priggish presumptuousness, and their rough-shod iconoclasm. This could only mean that we must have lost something of our former reverence and devotion for the True Mass. We accepted as true what they taught us, that the Mass is no more than, and whatever, and only, what they made it, and no more than the enemies of Christ and of His ineffable Sacrifice always said it was. Before anything else, therefore, we must recall ourselves to our former awareness, meditate on its infinite grandeur and utter irreplaceability, and pray for the grace to esteem and honor it worthily. Only if we do this shall we be able to rise to the occasion of our present crisis and assume that burden which our noble Faith imposes upon us.
We can and we must pray that Pope Paul will himself retract his "wishes" and himself put an end to the present malaise. However, it would be unrealistic to expect him to, and we certainly may not wait for such a conversion. It would be utter folly to expect our bishops will begin to act like successors of the Apostles. This is no place to speak of them at length. As a group, they obviously do not know their theology. If they do, they give no promise of letting anyone else find out about it. Since at least the Second Vatican Council, they have, with only a few exceptions, shown themselves shallow, craven, irrelevant, and totally incapable of reading their times. For years now, we have waited for them to stand up to the Pope as St. Paul would, (Gal. 2:11), and as we have a right to expect them to. Amid the confusion and deterioration of the Faith and the runaway liberalization of all discipline which has emanated from the Vatican, their dominant concern seems to have been survival - and let the devil take the hindmost!
Moreover, I maintain and profess, without doubting, all the other teachings handed down, defined, and declared in the Sacred Canons by the Ecumenical Councils, especially by the Most Holy Council of Trent and by the (First) Ecumenical Vatican Council, particularly that of the Primacy and the Infallible Magisterium of the Roman Pontiff; and at the same time I condemn, reject, and abominate all opinions to the contrary and all heresies whatever which the Church condemns rejects, and anathematizes.
I, N…, promise, vow, and swear that, with God's help, I shall most constantly hold and profess this true Catholic faith, outside which no one can be saved and which I now freely profess and truly hold. With the help of God, I shall profess it whole and unblemished to my dying breath; and, to the best of my ability, I shall see to it that my subjects and those entrusted to me by virtue of my office hold it, teach it, and preach it. So help me God and His holy Gospels. (Appendix III).
The foregoing comes from the Oath known as "The Profession of Faith," which all priests are required by the Code of Canon Law to take both before and after their Ordination. Who would not say that it is highly providential that this Oath makes specific mention of the decrees of the Council of Trent (which defined the doctrines of the Mass) and the First Vatican Council (which defined the doctrine of Papal Infallibility)?
The "Profession" concerns Catholic doctrinal belief. It is made regardless of all earthly authority. It is made directly to God, before the Tabernacle of the King of kings. Nothing could possibly happen to make its tenets untrue, hence, to dispense any priest who pronounces it, be he Pope or simple curate. It seems that most priests have been so affected by the "spirit of renewal" (read: "Revolution"), that they feel no obligation at all to this commitment. In a way, therefore, they are no different from some of their confreres who have abandoned their priestly ministry altogether; that is, they do what they are allowed to do instead of what they promised.
The Oath is unconditional. The Church is "in command." No one has to take it; but one must take it if he is going to enter the priesthood or, having entered, ascend to a higher office and dignity. The Code of Canon Law requires that it be taken before the reception of the subdiaconate. After ordination it must be reiterated before faculties are granted for preaching, teaching, or hearing confessions. It is required again when one receives a pastorate or professorship in a Catholic college or seminary where one intends to teach philosophy or theology. It must be renewed by a bishop-elect and a cardinal-elect and by him who accedes to the papal throne.
Since those who have a higher rank in the Church must have taken this Oath more frequently, it must be a graver thing for prelates to violate it than for those "down in the ranks." One feels inclined to say that the former are more strongly bound by it for that reason, if such were possible.
One thing is certain, the Oath is absolute; it is strictly worded-clearly, and uncompromisingly. There can be no excuse for a cleric not knowing what it says or what it means. There is nothing in it which suggests its terms are alterable or dispensable. No reason-even a direct command from the Supreme Pontiff-is conceived for its future retraction.
No great imagination is required to appreciate how much strength the Church has derived from such a commitment on the part of each of its priests, when each of them adhered to this Oath literally and fearlessly. No wonder the Revolutionists who now infest the Church had to begin the process of emasculating and eventually discarding the Oath. You may remember a few years ago they began by abbreviating its companion, The Oath Against Modernism. You can be sure it was only the first shot! And no wonder that, while the cry of obedience to the Pope is being dinned into our ears, mention of this Oath is regarded as a most impolite digression.
Every priest takes the Oath individually. What a grand and bold affirmation it is, and how gladly and proudly we uttered it! In that day, we were ready for the sword or the lions! (Bring them on!) The faithful are bound to wonder whether their priests would (or should I say, could) bring themselves to repeat the ceremony now, in view of recent events, using the very same words they used in the adventurous days of their subdiaconate. Would they, or do they now, have some reservations? Would they now, at least internally, attach certain conditions?
Most priests, if they were honest (in a simple, child-like way-not in an "adult" way), would admit they have excused themselves from the literal terms of their priestly Oath. This is a nice way of saying they have perjured themselves through their acceptance of the "New Mass," whose very existence is a clear and inarguable violation of the Canons of the Council of Trent. To have accepted the "faith" represented by the "Novus Ordo" is to have abandoned that of Trent and to have apostatized from it. And every time they follow the "New Order," they are renewing that original forswearal (a less abrasive word than "lie").
Such priests exist, therefore, in a condition very similar to those who live in adulterous marriages, only worse. Adulterers live in sin and compound their guilt with every act of intercourse. Those priests, however, add the dimension of sacrilege to their perjury when they parody the Mass.
Well did the prophet Ezechiel say of them:
"Her priests have despised my law, and have defiled my sanctuaries, they have put no difference between holy and profane; nor have distinguished between the polluted and the clean; and they have turned away their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I was profound in the midst of them."
Therefore, the dilemma for priests nowadays is more compelling than they wish to admit: Either they must acknowledge they do not believe any longer the tenets of the Council of Trent and do subscribe to the "New Religion" with its worship of man, or they are falsely performing the rites of the "New Religion," while secretly holding to the "Old Faith." In their present predicament, they will have to decide which is the greater sin, as well as which sin they choose to be damned for, I really should say "sins," because, as you can see, their acts have many dimensions.
For the present, it looks as it most of them will continue to convince themselves that the "New Mass" is the "Old Mass," that the "New Religion" is the True Religion, that there is no essential difference between what was and what is. All the while they will keep their eyes peeled for a "break" in the situation, keep a careful count of the months before their retirement, when they will say the "Tridentine Mass" privately, just to be on the safe side! They will also keep up a lively interest in the question of whether Pope Paul VI will retire: there is some hope in that quarter!
During the interim, they will keep telling themselves they are doing the prudent thing, rendering the greatest service to the people, maintaining the peace, keeping things going, saying their prayers, trying to make the "New Liturgy" as respectable looking as possible! They will scrupulously avoid consulting their theology texts and the "pre-Conciliar" papal writings. The Council made all those obsolete, you understand. They will find themselves treating as some kind of malevolent strangers those few daring, single-minded people (for it takes daring), who accost them with bland and blunt questions, which need highly-technical theological training to understand the answers to. You know: "But, Father, how can you justify…?"; "But it says right here in this book…!" etc. Having become accessory to the negation of all traditional belief and authority, they will perforce run to hide behind the skirts of their "Revolutionary 'mother church,'" which can dispense them from anything and everything.
They do not want to see it or to be reminded of it, but the fact remains: these "middle-of-the-road" padres, these many-hued ministers of the "New Establishment," have become a new-born generation of T. S. Eliot's "hollow men," "men of straw." They are the compliant "yes men" which the Revolution produces and finds so useful. And they work so hard, preoccupying their minds, drowning out their consciences. Watching them, one cannot help recalling Orwell's work-horses in Animal Farm. As Father Fahey wrote: "Profanation of the Blessed Eucharist has, on many occasions at least, been part of the preparation of apostate Catholics to be fitting instruments of revolution…"65 65. The Kingship of Christ and Organized Naturalism. Rev. Denis Fahey, C.S.Sp. Regina Publications. Dublin. p. unknown.
They pretend such great independence and voluntariness and such strong belief, all as if nothing untoward were happening in the whole wide world. On "safe" subjects, they are veritable titans of Orthodoxy and principle. (Grrrr!).
They are such dutiful and honorable and obedient men, not because they are servants of Christ, but because they are insecure, nervous, and unhappy. They used to be leaders, men of discipline, a force to be reckoned with. (The atheist Nietsche warned his followers to keep a safe distance from them.) Now they are has-beens, relics, cast-offs. They are without purpose, without dedication; there is a thorn in their side, a pebble in their shoe, and a scar across their eyes. All their answers are circuitous; they wish to change the subject. "But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing anymore but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men." (Mt. 5:13).
If they were honest, they would at least consider seriously the contentions made in these pages; they should have made them long before now. There is no excuse for this. Either such men should never have been ordained, or they are using their priesthood as a benefice. However, the reason these priests have not given the matter any thought is that those of their confreres who are customarily more alert to matters theological, and their bishops, have played the coward and not dared to raise the question for them to consider. A perusal of periodicals written for priests during the past few years is a perfect example. The "New Mass" is usually treated in the "question-and-answer" columns. I need not describe the pettifoggery one encounters there.
The conclusions I have come to here do, of course, seem extreme. The reason, however, is not that my conclusions are inaccurate, but because most priests have ceased to mean what they say. Is it too much to expect that they give sound reasons why they consider themselves no longer bound by their priestly oaths. Do not the people have a right to some sort of explanation? Since when is any Catholic-priest or layman-not supposed to have a good reason for everything he does? Indeed, here is the momentous glaring discrepancy in the whole "renewal" argument and effort: there are no adequate reasons for any of it! None of all its adherents seem to be able to deal with these questions according to the rules of honest argumentation. Their pusillanimous invocation of the Pope is well calculated to make our Religion what our worst enemies have always said it was, even though our enemies knew better. Their efforts to justify the insufferable "new Mass" amount to one argument: "The Pope said to!" And this is the Faith without which there can be no salvation. Imagine!
All priests cardinals not excluded must return to the True Mass immediately. This obviously involves two steps - if they do not do the second, they still must do the first: (1) They must stop "saying" the "New Mass." They must completely separate themselves from it and the churches where it is "said"-or separate the "New Mass" from the churches in their care. They must desist doing anything to compromise themselves in this regard. To "say" the "New Mass" is an act of sacrilege and desecration. (2) They must begin to say the True Mass with total disregard for any earthly consequences, whenever and wherever this can be done, but only in accord with the Code of Canon Law. How they manage it is their affair; they are of age, strong, brave, and consecrated men. They will be surprised at how God will provide for them. Even should they have to suffer great hardships, these will serve as partial reparation for their previous disloyalty and infidelity, as well as the first installments on that great expiation which the whole Church must in time surely make for the Great Sacrilege. Let them be reminded that Pope St. Pius V, in Quo Primum, envisioned that penalties might someday be threatened those who adhered to his command. No matter what sufferings their act costs them, none are so cruel as those the Revolution has in store for them once it is through with them! They must proceed to offer the True Mass for as many of the faithful as they can get to attend it, as often as is possible and canonically permissible. They will find in this apostolate enough.
I need to add that a priest does not have to agree with all my contentions concerning the "New Mass" to be bound to the "Traditional Mass;" he is so bound by his Oath, independently of all other considerations.
Let priests take their example from those six thousand priests of Spain who, in a body, swore they would never accept the "New Mass." 66 66. Itineraires, March, 1970. Many questions suggest themselves by this heroic act, none of which, by the way, clerical periodicals have dared to raise. The only question I have is, "Where are the Americans?"

Lifting Weights Will Never Be The Same
Feeling a little antisocial. Well now, you no longer need a spotter while working out.
Imagine you're bench pressing by yourself without the help of a spotter. The weight becomes heavier and your arms are turning to jell-o. You push as hard as you can, but the weight simply won't budge. So you just let go of the bar, inches from your face. And it stays in place.
Well, I didn't write that first paragraph as some sort of cruel, misguided joke. Thanks to Prospot Fitness and its remarkable Grip & Go technology, the aforementioned situation is not only possible, but also safe.
A few years ago, a start-up fitness company, Prospot, came out with a revolutionary technology for both household and commercial weight systems. Advanced technology is usually reserved for cardiovascular machines, but Prospot decided to reinvent the wheel.
In 2000, Prospot first introduced its patented Grip & Go technology. The P-100 system consisted of enough barbells and cables for the weekend warrior to the savviest of lifters. A system of cables ands pulleys meant that any desired range of motion could be met. From a clean and jerk to a basic press, the cables were flexible enough to handle any exercise. But the key to the P-100's success was the barbell. A tiny cable embedded in the bar could be gripped by the fingertips. If the bar was let go, the sensor would trip and the fiber optic cables connected to the bar would stiffen and stop the plummeting weight within 1/100 of a millisecond. In other words, once the bar is let go, the weight stops instantly.
Compared to, say, a smith machine, the P-100 introduced new technology to a market that has been pretty much the same for the last 25 years. A smith machine uses the same basic premise, with a barbell and other weight training devices all in one frame. The bar was held inside the frame, but a spotter was still needed in case the lifter could not hoist the weight. The bar only moved vertically. The P-100 was the ultimate choice to use at home because it eliminated the spotter. Now all you had to do to get in a workout was walk to the machine, instead of scheduling a time with a partner to hit the gym. The bar could move in any direction and provide a greater variety of exercises.
But we live in a society of instant oatmeal and photographs. What has Prospot done for us lately? The P-100 has since involved into the P-600, with more features, but little change to the technology.
In early 2007, Prospot will unveil a project that has been in the making for three years, the P-400 dumbbell system. The P-400 dumbbell system takes the Grab & Go technology one step further. The P-400 dumbbells work just like the barbell, with sensors in each dumbbell that is attached to the cable and pulley system. Unlike most machines where the cable is attached to the weight stack, the cables attached to the P-400 are used solely for support. The cables don't interfere with the range of motion being used. They simply stop the weight when necessary. For example, if you were lying on your back to perform a basic press, the weights would be attached to the cables that hover overhead. Because the cables are on top of the weight, they don't interfere at all with the workout. When you finish the set, simply let go of the weight.
A typical scene at the gym usually contains some obnoxious meathead grunting through a set and then spiking their weights to the floor like they just scored the game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl. The P-400 dumbbell system would eliminate this and many other problems associated with free weights. With unrestricted movement, the user can execute any exercise associated with regular dumbbells. The key to building or maintaining muscles is through slow, controlled movements that target specific areas. Throwing the weight around with the full force of the body is bad for the muscles and usually results in tears or sprains.
There are those who prefer free weights and those who prefer machines. Critics of free weights complained that lifting without support was a dangerous way to work out, and that is true. Free weights offered a less restrictive workout, but the risk was much higher. In March 2005, former Pittsburgh Steeler Dave Little suffered a heart arrhythmia while bench pressing at his Miami home, which caused him to drop a 250-pound barbell onto his chest that rolled onto his neck and suffocated him. Unfortunately, there are many other tales like this one. Situations that could have easily been avoided that result in tragedy. The truth is, most people don't know their limitations and that is why these things occur. There is always the chance that a freak accident could take a life.
For roughly the same price as any other home gym, the P-400 is a smart investment. Plus their products come with a lifetime guarantee. The gap between free weights and machines is now significantly closer. The P-400 offers the quality of a free weight workout with the safety and comfort of a machine. With its line of ground breaking products, Prospot has found itself the perfect niche in the weight lifting community.

I hate to have to rely on other people when i work out, this is perfect for people like me who like to zone out and listen to their ipods. Great invention and great article. I like Eds approach to writing.

Kim and Kanye want their own thrones
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have almost everything, and now they can apparently add four gold-plated toilets to that growing list.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have reportedly spent more than $750,000 on gold-plated toilets for their Bel Air mansion. The couple may not be fortunate enough to have a royal throne, but at least they will have their own version every time they enter their bathrooms!
The Hollywood couple are awaiting the completion of renovations on their $11 million-dollar home, which they purchased in February. It appears that money is not a problem for Kardashian and West, who have been splurging on their interior.
A source revealed to The Sun U.K., "They expect the interior to cost twice as much as the property. They're spending more than a million on a security system alone."
It is not just the golden toilet seats that have cost hundreds of thousands. Kimye are reported to have also splurged on luxury bedding, which has cost more than $1 million.
It has been reported that regular beds are not good enough for West and that he has ordered six special edition beds to ensure they meet hotel standards — the standard of London's Savoy Hotel, to be exact.
According to TMZ, the couple's luxury home is also said to include a hair and makeup salon, bowling alley, indoor and outdoor pool, basketball court, movie theater, custom gym, and if that is not enough, a Swarovski-encrusted fridge freezer.
"It's so exciting for them," a source told People magazine. "The house is gorgeous. And they really wanted and needed the privacy."
Sounds like this house is going to be more than just private, but also extravagant! The couple have just recently welcomed their first child, baby North, however, there's still no public announcement about a future wedding.
Kardashian's divorce from NBA star Kris Humphries was finalized in May and now there is speculation as to when she could be walking down the aisle again, this time to marry West.
One person who is waiting with bated breath for the news of marriage is the reality TV star's mother, Kris Jenner. Jenner has previously admitted during an appearance on The Talk that the fact that the couple are still not married is, "so annoying."
A source close to the Kardashian family revealed to Radar Online that, "Kris Jenner is ecstatic that Kim is dating Kanye; she can see their celebrity stock and wealth rising by the day! She has already told Kim that if they make it down the aisle they are going to do it on camera again."
"You would think most moms would be keen for their daughter to take it slow, especially seeing as Kim's divorce still isn't finalized from the last fiasco," the source added.
What do you think of the Hollywood couple's spending spree? Did they earn it, or could their money have been better spent?

Psychology Today blogger Gretchen Rubin has some interesting tips for you. Especially if you, yourself, are not that interesting. Based on some elementary psychological principles, speech patters, and body language, you can tell if you're the life of the party like you ought to be, or a dead, dead, dead fish. Here's her list with a little of an explanation from us as to what that exactly means for you.
1. Repeated, perfunctory responses
These are the types of responses cartoon characters give as they offer a comically big yawn. Any kind of "go on," type of response such as: oh, oh really, interesting, etc. means that your audience isn't really listening. Maybe they're hearing you, but they're just being polite. Mentally, they've checked out or are waiting for you to say something they actually care about. Gretchen also writes that simple questions such as "when did you move here," indicate disinterest, but that's sort of the same thing.
2. Interruption
Interruption can boarder on the impolite, but it always indicates a need to get a word in, and more often than not, this is because something you've said is decidedly unboring. It's king of like Crossfire without all the angry bowties. She expounds that a request for clarification is the more polite flavor of this. What did you mean by ___? When exactly did that happen? These are the types of questions that show people are genuinely interested. Less so, "then what?"
3. Imbalance of Talking Time
This one is a bit tricky because it can go either way, and can be interpreted in several fashions. However, for the most part, an imbalance of talking time means that the conversation is not interesting to at least one member. Either 1) you're not allowing your audience to participate in the conversation, so even if you're talking about interesting things, they're not as engaged as they may otherwise be, or 2) you're simply not talking about interesting things. Either way, a lopsided conversation rolls along like a bicycle tire of the same shape.
4. Abrupt Subject Change
This is another sign that things are going exactly swimmingly. If you're expounding on the lackadaisical but ultimately heroic travails of one Col. Geoffrey Spicer-Simson, and you're heretofore entranced lady-friend asks out of the blue if you've heard Lady Gaga's new single, it might be time to rethink your obscure, British maritime references (or your lady-friend). If this happens, though, fight the urge to continue to tell your tale of the sea. Allow them to take the helm of the conversation for a bit, and it maybe be salvageable.
5. Body Posture
It's intuitive that an attentive listener will be facing you, but the more intresting thing to look for that Rubin brings up is a phenomenon called "The Measurement of Fidget." Besides being a good album title, this refers to a paper written in 1885 by Sir Francis Galton. Anedotally, he observed that disinterested people slouch and fidget more. We probably can't put it any better than Rubin put it herself: "An audience that's sitting still and upright is interested, while an audience that's horizontal and squirmy is bored."

The Canela Band Reunites for One-Time Performance at Agriculture Museum
The Canela Band
By Gazette Staff Writer — Wednesday, May 28th, 2014
June 6, 2014
Established in the 1970s by Santa Paula High School friends, The Canela Band is reuniting for one performance at the Museum of Ventura County's Agriculture Museum on Friday, June 6, 2014. The band will play from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. The public is encouraged to come to the concert after Santa Paula's Main Street Cruise Night for this very special "Music at the Ag" event.
Influenced by popular soul, funk, latin and rock music they heard on the radio, and by Mexican music their parents loved, The Canela Band members composed soulful ballads and up-tempo dance tunes, in both English and Spanish. They played at many local parties and events in the 1970s and 1980s before going their separate ways to start careers and families. On June 6, George Castaneda, Jr., on keyboards and vocals, Billy Ramirez, on guitar and lead vocals, Danny Hernandez, on bass and vocals, Robert Torres, on percussion, Raul Rico, Jr., on congas, Peter Ramirez, on guitar, and Noah Castaneda, on keyboards, will come back to Santa Paula to play their most popular hits, including "El Amor" and "Cha Cha Linda." A special performance by Xavier Montes' guitar students will take place during intermission.
"Music at the Ag" concerts take place monthly at the Agriculture Museum, usually on the first Friday of the month. Admission to the concert is $10 for adults, $2 for kids with an adult, and $5 for Museum members. Seating is first come, first seated. Food Truck service will be provided by Chef Alberto Vazquez of "Rock Chef Rolls," beginning at 7 p.m., and made-to-order dinner items may be brought into the air conditioned concert area in Limoneira Hall. Chef Vazquez learned to cook from his father at Harry's Plaza Café in Santa Barbara, started cooking professionally at age 17, honed his craft at 5 star restaurants across the country, and recently was head chef at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks and at Westlake Village Inn.
The Museum of Ventura County's Agriculture Museum is located in historic downtown Santa Paula at 926 Railroad Avenue. Hours are 10 a.m.– 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.

Cowbridge Amateur Dramatic Society (CADS) was formed in 1947 to relieve the tedium in those pre-television days of austerity and anti-climax of the wait for the fifties and the arrival of the 'modern' world. It has been going ever since.
We aim to put on three main productions each year; one in March, one in June/July and one around November. The plays we have staged over the years vary from comedy and farce to dramas and classic plays. Unlike a number of groups, we don't just stick to well known 'safe' plays, but also try new pieces or try to present plays in a new way. This is largely to challenge ourselves artistically, but also to provide something fresh for our audience.
Rehearsals are usually on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and all are welcome to join. Membership is set at £15 per annum. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact the membership secretary, Caron Reidy - email@example.com
You can also find information about us and what productions we are putting on in www.dramagroups.com

The last thing the American public needs is more demagoguery about the financially strapped social security system. Just prior to last week's election key Democrats argued that once the election was over the Reagan administration was going to gut the social security system. ''The President,'' said House Speaker Tip O'Neill, ''plans a sneak attack on social security.'' Late in the week Senator Robert Dole got in the act by arguing that the bipartisan Presidential Commission on Social Security reform not issue its report until Speaker O'Neill first muster up his own solutions. Meanwhile, reports persist that the commission may take the easy way out by producing both majority and minority reports - and leave it up to the White House and Congress to battle out the issue.
Surely Americans deserve better than this. The undisputed fact is that the social security system does need reform - more than underscored by the need for
billion in interfund borrowing to meet November benefit payments. An article published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York concludes that the system as now structured is ''fundamentally flawed,'' because lawmakers have promised more in benefits than can be financed through the payroll tax.
The fundamental issue is not one of scrapping social security but of wisely reforming it. To that end, lawmakers will have to consider difficult alternatives. But, instead of engaging in bickering and scaremongering, they should be encouraging the bipartisan commission to produce a consensus report that will serve as a starting point for an intelligent and constructive solution to the problem.

Dying Fetus, Incantation, Gatecreeper
Dying Fetus is an American death metal band that originated in Upper Marlboro, Maryland in 1991. Dying Fetus's debut album Purification through Violence, was released in 1996. Since then, their grindcore metal has been blasting fast beats and slow breakdowns of the buildups. The band is very politically tainted, which sets it apart most death metal groups. Its songs cynically touch on religion, war, and big corporations.Psycroptic emerged out of Tasmania, Australia in 1999 with a technical death metal style. Powered by the brutal drums of Dave Haley, and the guitar-wizardry of his brother Joe Haley, the band stood out among the national heavy metal scene with a steady stream of releases, starting with 2001's The Isle of Disenchantment. Three records deep, Psycroptic signed with Nuclear Blast Records in 2008 and dropped Ob (Servant), which opened the flood gates for both headlining and international tours throughout Europe. The band continues to release new records, such as 2015's self-titled effort.

As reported by the BBC, Manhunt 2 will finally be released in the UK, albeit in an edited form, with an 18 certificate and a caution that it contains "very strong sadistic bloody violence".
The game had been rejected by the BBFC twice, but the Video Appeals Committee has overruled them this time around.
I'm just glad this whole fuss is over – it's been raging since June last year – although I have no intention of buying the game, since I am not a fan of gory movies, and the Manhunt games are essentially gory movies in playable form.

A California judge ruled today that the largest possible number of insurance companies should be responsible for paying the claims of victims of asbestos-related diseases.
The ruling, a key decision in a two-year-long trial that has been too big to be held in a normal courtroom, is expected to increase the amount of money available for asbestos victims, although the extent of the increase is unclear. The case has involved about 35 insurance companies and four manufacturers fighting over who should bear most of the cost of compensating the asbestos victims.
Because of the sheer size of the California Superior Court's case, today's ruling might set a precedent, both for future asbestos cases and for other cases involving radiation, pollutants or other harmful substances that do not produce illnesses until years or even decades after exposure.
The issue before the trial-level court was which insurance policies covered asbesto-related illnesses. Judge Ira A. Brown Jr. ruled that all insurance policies would be liable: those in effect at the time of exposure, at the time of diagnosis or death, and at any time in between.
The judge, who spent three hours reading his 107-page ruling to a multitude of lawyers, also ruled that any of the insurance policies could be responsible for the entire payment, not just a portion based on the number of years' coverage.Continue reading the main story
The issue of when liability begins has been decided in many other courts, with varying results, and even Judge Brown said his ruling would not settle the matter once and for all. The ruling was immediately criticized by representatives of the insurance industry, who said an appeal was probable.
Around the nation, an estimated 30,000 to 60,000 people have filed claims, seeking a total of several billion dollars in compensation for injuries or deaths they say were caused by asbestos inhalation.
The California case, which initially involved five manufacturers and more than 70 insurers, represented the consolidation of a number of suits and countersuits between the manfacturers and their insurers. The manufacturers themselves face suits from the numerous claimants.
Both of today's decisions were victories for the four asbestos manufacturers - the GAF Corporation, Nicolet Inc., Armstrong World Industries and the Louisiana Pacific Corporation's Fibreboard unit - and setbacks for the insurers.
While the case did not directly involve those claiming injury from asbestos, attorneys said the ultimate effect would be to benefit the victims as well.
''What it does mean is that there will be more coverage available,'' said David Steuber, an attorney representing GAF and Nicolet. ''All of the available policy dollars will be there for asbestos victims and claimants.''
Asbestos, a fibrous material widely used as an insulator and fire retardant until a few years ago, can cause a scarring of the lungs known as asbestosis, as well as lung cancer and mesothelioma, another type of cancer. After exposure ceases, the injury worsens until the scarring becomes great enough to be diagnosed.
Judge Brown ruled that the ''bodily injury'' covered by the general liability policies held by the manufacturers began when the asbestos fibers were inhaled into the lungs. Since the bodily injury occurs continuously, Judge Brown said, all insurance policies from exposure through the time a claim is filed or death are liable. Insurers Were Divided
Insurers had been divided among themselves as to which policies should be responsible to pay these claims, but virtually all of them were opposed to the all-encompassing theory adopted by Judge Brown.
Seth Hufstedler, an attorney representing the Travelers Corporation, a major insurer, said the decision would be appealed. ''You can count on it 100 percent,'' he added.
However, attorneys for manufacturers said they thought the decision would be difficult to overturn because of the huge amount of work that went into Judge Brown's decision.
The trial, which began in March 1985, has produced 300,000 pages of transcripts. Today's ruling closes just one phase of the case. There are still two or three less important phases, with rulings to come on such issues as requests for damages for breach of contract and bad faith.
The next step would be the California Court of Appeal, and then the California Supreme Court. But court experts said that an appeal was not likely until the remaining issues in the case were decided, meaning that years of litigation remain.
Attorneys and analysts said that some small insurance companies might suffer but that the major ones had already established reserves to cover their liability.
''This is the worst possible'' decision for the insurance companies, said Ira Malis, insurance analyst at the Alex. Brown & Sons brokerage. However, he added: ''I can't see how it can have that much effect on the companies. The major players have already reserved for the worst-case scenario.''
Asbestos Victims of America, a group that says it has 9,000 members, said that ''we're extremely pleased by the decision today.'' Heather Bechtel, the group's executive director, added that ''if more insurance companies are responsible, there will be more money available.''
Since the trial began, about half the insurance companies settled and dropped out and one manufacturer, the Manville Corporation, dropped out because it reached a settlement with insurers as part of its bankruptcy reorganization plan.
Because no courtroom could hold so many litigants, a former San Francisco high school auditorium was remodeled into a courtroom, with an intercom system to let the judge know which lawyer wanted to speak, and a computerized system to file all the documents in the case.Continue reading the main story

Rectify: Manmarziyan (Part 7) Suraj's diary
Hi friends I'm back again with a twist enjoy…
I had it all plan out, Niki would tell Maira that she was carrying Angad's child and then Maira would force him to marry Niki. And then I would be there for her only to get her addicted to pills.
She would be begging for those pills and I would be enjoying her condition. But she got pregnant and there my plan backfire.
Niki could still confess, but she backed out saying that Angad made it clear that he loves his wife and will never leave her. She also told me if I did anything to them then she would call the police.
When I told badi maa she got angry with me, she told me why did you promise me you would take revenge on Maira when you can't fulfil it.
I still want to take revenge on Maira. She was the reason my brother is dead. I was in London when this court case was happening. I didn't know my best friend Angad was marrying my enemy. And Maira doesn't know that I am the brother of one of the rapist.
We had plan B, our plan was to switch the baby we were going to take our revenge on Maira's child. And to do that we need to find Niki. Thank goodness, one of the men found her at Pune. So now I had to convince Angad to let Maira travel with him. I told him I would provide the nurse to travel with Maira, he agreed.
I made sure Maira and Niki deliver the baby at the same hospital. Both delivered baby girls. When it was night I did the switch. It was done I was satisfied and left the hospital.
I always kept on track on Maira daughter Nandini. When she came to Mumbai for her studies, she made friend with Niki daughter Piyali. I had a big plans for these two, let Nandini get close to her sister, then when the time is right I will execute my plan.
It was time to execute my plan, I hire three men to take Nandini and to rape her. I told the men to make sure to name Piyali so that Nandini think it was all Piyalis plan.
When she was lying uncontious, I picked her up and took her home. When she woke up I ask her how she was, she said she was raped by three men. I told her to take these pills it will num her pain. She took the pill, now I had her where I wanted. I was going to make Maira daughter drug addict.
But one day Nandini told me that her grandma switched her and Piyali when they were babys, I was shocked I ask her if she was with her biological mother, she said yes because she did the DNA test. I was very angry with myself my plan was spoiled again.
Then I thought of plan C, why don't I get my dirty job done by Nandini she already thinks Piyali send those men to rape her.
Yes, I could already see this plan working. I will brainwash her against Piyali and these pills will not make her think straight.
It took 6 years to brainwash her. I gave her the list of what to do for revenge.
First we needed to find a child who will grow up and marry Samaira for our revenge. That child we found his name is Arjun Mehra
Then Nandini will apply for a job at bird song where Piyali and Samrat are owners, she would easily get the job.
When Nandini and Samrat went for a business trip, I follow them, I put something in Samrat's drink so that Nandini could seduce him easily.
Later Nandini thought that Samrat was going to leave Piyali for her but she didn't know that Samrat was saying that because of the drug affect that I put in his drink.
Then in two month Nandini told me she was carrying Samrat child…..
To be continue
Suraj Oberi role will be played by Vishwajeet Praden (I could see him in this role).
I was thinking why don't you tell me, who you want Piyali and Maanya's savior to be, with the most vote he or she will be in my next chapter so silent reader you can vote to, all you have to do is write the name down in the comment.
I hope you enjoy reading it for now bye bye ….

What is WannaCry Ransomware? – Easy Steps To Keep Your System Protected
What is Ransomware?
Ransomware is a malicious software that encrypts files and locks devices, such as a computer, tablet or smartphone and then demands a ransom to unlock it. Recently, a dangerous ransomware named 'Wannacry' has been affecting devices worldwide creating the biggest ransomware attack the world has ever seen.
What is WannaCry Ransomware?
WannaCry ransomware attacks windows based machines. It also goes by the name WannaCrypt, WannaCry, WanaCrypt0r, WCrypt, WCRY. It leverages SMB exploit in Windows machines called EternalBlue to attack and inject the malware. All versions of windows before Windows 10 are vulnerable to this attack if not patched for MS-17-010. After a system is affected, it encrypts files and shows a pop up with a countdown and instructions on how to pay the 300$ in bitcoins to decrypt and get back the original files. If the ransom is not paid in 3 days, the ransom amount increases to 600$ and threatens the user to wipe off all the data. It also installs DOUBLEPULSAR backdoor in the machine.
How it spreads?
It uses EternalBlue MS17-010 to propagate. The ransomware spreads by clicking on links and downloading malicious files over internet and email. It is also capable of automatically spreading itself in a network by means of a vulnerability in Windows SMB. It scans the network for specific ports, searches for the vulnerability and then exploits it to inject the malware in the new machine and thus it spreads widely across the network.
What can you do to prevent infection?
– Microsoft has released a Windows security patch MS17-010 for Windows machines. This needs to be applied immediately and urgently.
– Remove Windows NT4, Windows 2000 and Windows XP-2003 from production environments.
– Block ports 139, 445 and 3389 in firewall.
– Avoid clicking on links or opening attachments or emails from people you don't know or companies you don't do business with.
– SMB is enabled by default on Windows. Disable smb service on the machine by going to Settings > uncheck the settings > OK
– Make sure your software is up-to-date.
– Have a pop-up blocker running on your web browser.
– Regularly backup your files.
– Install a good antivirus and a good anti-ransomware product for better security.
What are we doing on our Windows shared servers?
We are already in the phase of applying Windows updates on all our shared hosting Windows servers. However we need to reboot servers in-order to apply those security patches. We shall announce the schedule for server reboot in this thread shortly.
What you need to do in case of our Windows dedicated servers?
You need to patch the Windows dedicated server immediately using the steps mentioned in the link : https://goo.gl/PYIEis
You can also refer to the following links to apply the necessary fix:
For dedicated servers, once you have applied necessary changes, you need to reboot the server.

It's been quite a journey for SZA and her fans. The TDE singer has patiently waited for the label to release her debut album, and has openly vented her frustration with the pushback, claiming that she was quitting the music industry in 2017. Despite the claim, she has stated that she's committed to finishing and releasing the project, titled A, this year.
While her fans continue to hold out, those at her live shows have gotten a taste of what to expect. Thanks to one of those in attendance, we have a clip of a collaboration between Travis Scott and SZA, which they performed this week at NeueHouse in New York City.
SOUNDS LIKE SOME HEEEEEAAAAATTTT pic.twitter.com/jfik7q5Q3o
— TRAVIS SCOTT (@TRVIS__XX) January 12, 2017
In addition to this unknown track, she also performed a new cut titled "Drew Barrymore", inspired by the actress it's named for.
With so much anticipation surrounding her album and controversy surrounding her talk of quitting, it's little tidbits like this that add fuel to the fire and give hope to those who have been on this journey with her. Being that it's been nearly three years since her last release, people are hungry for her beautiful voice. Hopefully we'll be able to get our hands on something more concrete very soon!
