Macs have never had the best reputation for gaming.
Whether because Apple preferred to market them as creative computing powerhouses or because their alumnium shells could cook eggs after a heavy graphics session, the lowly Mac spent much of its youth in the gaming outhouse, suffering with years-behind releases and sub-par ports.
Mercifully for Mac owners, things have changed.
Sure, the mega-releases still hit mainstream platforms some way before Apple's (if ever), but there is a growing and substantial crop of computing capers which you can beam to your Mac through the App Store and Steam - which can more than hold a candle to PC alternatives.
Few are unique to Mac, but a number are redesigned, remastered and retuned for the MacOS interface, with slicker moves and better integration - so there's absolutely no excuse not to spend your weekend putting all of our recommendations to the test.
Here are 25 of the best games you can grab right now for your Mac.
It might originally have hit consoles in 2004, but this second instalment in the Star Wars Knights series - or KOTOR as it's affectionately known - is a corker on any platform. As well as hitting you with a dose of early noughties nostalgia, the re-platformed role-player delivers all the LucasArts smarts you'd expect from the Star Wars series.
Playing as a lone Jedi struggling to manage the Force (who doesn't?) whilst fighting Sith Lords, KOTOR has an immersive story with depth, humour and endless backstories for heaps of characters. Where the original was buggy, the Mac version taps into everything great about Knights without any of the lag.
Homeworld Remastered (₹769)
Homeworld in many ways defined the real-time strategy genre when it was released in 1998.
Seeing players focus on space campaign missions through which all surviving ships and resources progress to future challenges, gameplay is both expansive and thoroughly engaging, with developing objectives, immersive cut-scenes and numerous unlockables.
What's so special about the Remastered Collection? Well, it gives you both the original Homeworld and Homeworld 2, as well as Homeworld Classic and its successor, alongside a Steam Multiplayer mode - that's a lot of Homeworlds.
What's more, all the titles have been fully remastered by members of the original development team to work fluidly on modern platforms. That means choosing fleets, deciding tactics and strategising situations, in real time, on your Mac. Glorious.
HEROES OF THE STORM (₹free)
League of Legends is the world's most popular MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) game, while Valve's Dota 2 is the most hardcore of the bunch – but Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm is the friendliest of that top trio, plus it stars loads of familiar characters from classic game.
Like those other MOBAs, Heroes of the Storm is a five-on-five battle for map domination, as you team up to bash down the enemy's turrets before taking down their base... unless they do it to you first. It's loaded with StarCraft, Diablo, Warcraft, and Overwatch characters and is a lot more streamlined than the others, making it the perfect first genre entry. And besides, all these MOBAs are free-to-play, so there's no harm in giving them all a shot.
You probably know the original Lara Croft from the earliest Tomb Raider games, which were strong and influential before becoming tired and stale. But do you know the new Tomb Raider, which cribs some fundamentals from Sony's Unchartedand reintroduces the iconic heroine?
It's pretty fantastic, as Tomb Raider delivers an epic, cinematic adventure through unforgiving wilds, pairing melee action with gunplay, stealth attacks, exploration, and a bit of puzzle-solving. It's one of the absolute best action experiences you'll find on Mac today, and now that it's been out for a couple of years, it's available pretty cheaply as well.
If you've never played Rocket League, it's basically futuristic, gravity-defying football - played in cars. Souped-up, shiny cars roaring around neon-lit arenas. It's bright, brash and thoroughly playable.
Expect multiplayer mayhem, richly rendered cartoon graphics and instantly addictive gameplay. There's a full single-player mode, but it's in the online 8-player games where Rocket League comes into its own.
With a host of items and vehicles to unlock, getting the giant, glowing ball into the giant, glowing goal is never as easy as it seems, with power-ups and physics both working against you and your team.
What's more, with near-infinite car customisations to try, Rocket League's unlikely to leave you bored.
dirt rally (₹1,179)
Your Mac might be a pristine, refined beauty of a computer, but it can be used to make a big ol' digital mess in the great Dirt Rally. Codemasters' series has typically delivered its rally racing with an arcade edge in recent years, but Dirt Rally skids back into serious simulation territory.
It's still a total gem though, as it delivers intense, authentic racing action across six huge rallies with 70+ stages, letting you command more than 40 realistic rally cars from across the years. Rally is a bit trickier than the other Dirt games and requires more attention to detail, but there's a lot more reward in pulling off an epic run here.
Grim Fandango Remastered (₹479)
Another masterful reworking of a 90s classic, Grim Fandango hits MacOS with new, hi-res textures, dynamic lighting and a live orchestral score, bringing Tim Schafer's sensational styling into the next-gen era.
Following the story of Manny Calavera, employee of the Department of Death and travel agent to the dead, Fandango's macabre, film noir-feel made it an instant classic, which translates magically to Mac.
Despite being a commercial failure, Grim Fandango's deep storylines, humour, character interactions and cultural references made it a hit with players and critics alike; now given a suitable remastering for the 21st Century, you'd be remiss to miss some afterlife action.
hitman (FIRST EPISODE FREE + IAP)
IO Interactive's stealth assassin series lost a bit of steam over time, but with a new episodic format, the revived Hitman feels totally fresh and is an essential play for action fans.
This is no run-and-gun game, however: Hitman is all about the slow, nuanced process of setting up for and then executing a perfect, calculated, unseen kill. Each episode of the now-complete first season offers up an entirely new sandbox environment full of missions, bonus objectives, and unique opportunities to plot your attack, and the entire package is a devious delight.

Well, it's very difficult to come up with a review for this. I read a good chunk of Neal's copy of the similar Tori Amos collection Comic Book Tattoo and was equally stumped as to how to convey it. It's an anthology book inspired by various songs, in this case by the often wonderful Belle & Sebastian. It is nice to get a really broad sweep of material from all across the spectrum, ranging from impossibly cute little sunshiny strips with cartoony animals ("Legal Man" by Joey Weisner) to challenging, oblique pages of expression without narrative ("Fox in the Snow" by Jacob Magraw). On the other hand, I kind of want plot in my comics, and not expression either without narrative, or with it utterly obscured by the layout and presentation.
Most of the strips, mercifully, go for the obvious and feature definable characters in their early twenties, and most of them are pretty good, but some kind of editorial control still would have been nice - a couple of these stories don't actually end, they just seem to stop when they hit their page count. Overall it is a pretty good book and never less than interesting. It's always nice to see work by the very talented Laurenn McCubbin - who also has some pages in Comic Book Tattoo, I noticed - and I'm pleased to say I enjoyed Chris Butcher's script for "Expectations," which is turned into a story of backstabbing in the teen-publishing market, a whole lot. This one was illustrated by Kalman Andrasofsky & Ramon Perez and might be my favorite art in the book. I'd love to see more of Andrzsofsky's work, which is, I think, the most important thing about reading a book like this. It's one thing to go in saying, "oooh, Laurenn McCubbin, I loved her stuff in Rent Girl," but you should also leave finding another creator of whom you want to see more. Recommended for older readers, especially if you like Belle & Sebastian.
On the other hand...
What is this shit?
I considered continuing for many, many more paragraphs than that, but nobody ever read the rest of Greil Marcus's review of Self Portrait; the opening sentence said it all. But to explain briefly why I react in this way, let me continue.
Don't get me wrong; regular readers know that I'm a huge fan of Akira Toriyama's Dr. Slump, and think every home, especially the ones with elementary school-aged kids, should have the first 14 volumes on the shelf. But suddenly there's this cute baby called Turbo who can do anything in the cast. Every panel feels like the work of a creator who just does not care anymore - he was clearly burning out his contracted time getting ready for Dragon Ball at this stage. I did not laugh once.
And this baby? The producers of The Simpsons might have thought that, in "Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie," they were creating the ultimate parody of an obnoxious cute sidekick added to a show and ruining it instantly, but they had no idea that Toriyama had already done it, and a hundred times worse, and he wasn't parodying anything. Volumes 1-14 are recommended. Stop there. There's a sixteenth coming out in a couple of months. You probably won't want that, either.

Pay Isn't The Only Gap Between Male And Female Tech Pros4/30/2008
You'd think there'd be more female tech pros peeved about earning 10% less than their male counterparts. But interestingly, our new 2008 InformationWeek salary survey of 9,653 IT pros indicates that money matters more to men, while women are most concerned about the job's challenges and responsibilities.

Are you concerned that your skin is making you look older than you actually are? Common signs of aging such as wrinkles, pigmentation, and scarring may become more and more evident in your skin over time. If you are seeking a rejuvenation from aging skin, Nuance Aesthetics offers COSMOPen Ⓡ micro-needling as a non-surgical approach to correct skin imperfections associated with aging.
Located in Salt Lake City, Utah, Nuance Aesthetics strives for natural-looking results so that you may feel your natural best. Contact us today to schedule your consultation appointment and find out if COSMOPen Ⓡ micro-needling may be right for you!
What is COSMOPen Ⓡ micro-needling?
The COSMOPen Ⓡ is a comfortable, cutting-edge medical grade mode of micro-needling that grants similar results as laser treatment without any downtime or pain. COSMOPen Ⓡ micro-needling is a non-surgical alternative to help revitalize younger-looking skin.
We also combine the COSMOPen Ⓡ micro-needling treatment with our PRF therapy for enhanced results of younger-looking skin. Contact us today to learn more!
How does COSMOPen Ⓡ micro-needling work?
As the COSMOPen Ⓡ handpiece makes gentle contact with the skin, tiny micro-channels are created across the surface. These micro-channels work to stimulate your skin's production of collagen, which is a natural protein that keeps our skin healthy. Once more collagen is generated, skin imperfections such as wrinkling and scarring are corrected, resulting in a youthful exterior.
What are some cosmetic concerns that COSMOPen Ⓡ micro-needling can treat?
- Acne scars
- Scars from surgery
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Stretch marks
- Pigmentation such as freckles, age spots, or sun damage
- Enlarged pores
What can I expect following my micro-needling treatment with COSMOPen Ⓡ?
Some patients may experience redness in their skin for around 12 to 48 hours after their treatment. There is virtually no risk of major side effects through the COSMOPenⓇ. You may resume your schedule as soon as you leave our office!
When can I expect to see results?
Following your initial micro-needling treatment with the COSMOPenⓇ, you may notice a difference in your skin. We recommend between 2 to 3 micro-needling sessions to get the most of your results. After 2 or 3 treatment sessions with 1 to 2 weeks in between each session, you can notice a significant difference in the correction of your aesthetic concerns. Since the production of collagen is a gradual process, your skin will progressively improve over the coming months after your treatments. Ultimately, results will vary from person to person.
If you are looking for a non-surgical means of revitalizing your skin, COSMOPenⓇ micro-needling is a revolutionary treatment you may consider. Contact us today to schedule your consultation and find out if micro-needling with COSMOPenⓇ may be your key to looking younger!

Synopsis: How to build a corporate culture of communication with data.
Difficulty: Beginner, at least from a technical point of view.
"Data Fluency" isn't about how to use Hadoop, or Spark, or any other tool. It isn't about how to code using R. It isn't even about being a Data Scientist per se. Rather, this is a book about building an organizational culture that understands how to communicate using data, which isn't as simple as it sounds.
You may have noticed the unusual way I phrased the "Difficulty" field above. Changing culture in an organization is never easy, and few managers are adept at it. Zach and Chris Gemignani give the reader a roadmap to navigate such a change, and to me their ideas seem solid.
The Gemignani's have built a frame work for data fluency that addresses both individual and coporate needs as consumers and producers. I won't steal their thunder by showing the picture here, but it makes all the sense in the world when you think about data production and consumption in an organization.
I'm glad someone finally wrote this book. The tendency thus far has been to address the skills of the data scientist, but when you think about it, having just one person (or even a small handful) with the skills to communicate with data will not do much to make that organization data-driven. For that to happen stakeholders at all levels must be fluent with data, and that's exactly the problem this book aims to solve.

Kylie Ann Minogue, AO, OBE (/mɪˈnoʊɡ/; born 28 May 1968) is an Australian singer, songwriter and actress, sometimes known simply as Kylie. She became popular in the late 1980s, because of her role in the Australian television soap opera Neighbours, before becoming a dance-pop singer.
Early life[change | change source]
Minogue was born in Melbourne to a Welsh immigrant mother and Irish-Australian father. Her sister Dannii Minogue is also a singer and actress, and her brother Brendan works as a cameraman.
Career[change | change source]
She was signed to a contract by British songwriters and producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman, she got hit records throughout the world. Her popularity began to decline by the early 1990s and she left Stock, Aitken & Waterman in 1992. For years she tried to become an independent performer and songwriter. Her projects were widely talked about, but her albums resulted in the lowest sales of her career.
In 2000, Minogue became popular again as a dance-pop singer and became well known for her sexual music videos and elaborate concerts. She has one of the longest and most successful careers in pop music, and she has become one of the most recognisable celebrities and sex symbols. In Australia, she holds the record for the highest concert ticket sales for a woman, and has had nine singles at number one on the ARIA Singles Chart.
Personal life[change | change source]

On 17 May 2005, Minogue was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was on tour at the time, and the rest of it had to be cancelled.[5] Minogue had surgery for it on 21 May 2005 at a hospital in Malvern, Victoria,[6] and started chemotherapy soon afterwards. She finished her chemotherapy treatment in January 2006 but still needed six more weeks of radiotherapy to stop any new cancerous tumours from growing.[7]
Relationships[change | change source]
Minogue was in a relationship with Andres Velencoso from 2008[8] until 2013.
Minogue began a relationship with Joshua Sasse in 2015. The couple became engaged in February 2016.[9] They said in February 2017 that they had split up.

While some San Jose firefighters continued to battle the blazes burning in the North Bay, crews back home were kept busy Sunday fighting multiple fires.
Firefighters in the South Bay city responded to a brush fire in the foothills that quickly spread to two homes. Crews were later dispatched to another brush fire and possible rescue in the hills above Alum Rock Park. Just as the calendar turned to Monday, firefighters battled flames that shot out of a home on Sonata Way.
Firefighters in San Jose are working longer shifts to cover for the three engine crews that are offering assistance across North Bay counties.
"We've been on since about 8 o'clock this morning," San Jose Fire Department Capt. Brad Cloutier said as crews worked at the scene of the house fire. "We'll be on for about another 36 hours. Yeah it's been a long day so far already."
When crews arrived at the house fire just after midnight, they thought the family might have been trapped inside, but they later determined that the house was empty.
The garage was overwhelmed by the towering flames, which also spread to other parts of the house. The house has since been boarded up, and the family is staying with relatives in the area.

Professional Carpet Cleaning Services Enid Oklahoma. Royal Restoration is Enid Oklahoma's trusted provider for carpet and upholstery cleaning. Powerful, truck-mounted equipment ensures your carpets are "Midwest Fresh and Clean" everytime.
Your carpet says a lot about your home. It plays an essential role in your home's interior design, but more importantly, it feels comfy on your feet, smells fresh, and is free of micro-bacterial growth that can contribute to respiratory problems.
Our professional carpet cleaning team uses state-of-the-art equipment to restore your carpet to perfect condition. Our hot water extraction – steam cleaning – methods offer the best results and cleanest carpets for any home or business. No stain or mess is too difficult for our carpet cleaning specialists to clean!
What's the difference between our wall to wall carpet cleaning services and rentable cleaning machines? The difference is night and day. Rentable carpet cleaning machines leave mess behind. They lack the suction needed to draw dirt and other pollutants out from deep within the fabric. Your carpet may look clean on the surface, but its base layers remain dirty. That reduces your carpet's lifespan and makes some smells and stains impossible to remove.
When you work with Royal, our start-of-the-art carpet cleaning equipment easily cleans any type of carpet. We adjust our methods and equipment for different types of carpets and stains to ensure the best possible results.
Carpet experts recommend cleaning a carpet approximately once every 6-12 months. Your carpet is an important part of your home. If you want to restore your carpet to its clean and original condition, then you need Royal's expert wall to wall carpet cleaning services. Contact us today to discover the Royal difference!
Most common concerns our clients have when choosing a carpet cleaning service:
Concern #1: It doesn't matter which method of cleaning is used.
Answer: We use hot water extraction (steam cleaning) method. This method has the best cleaning results for most cleaning situations. The advances made in the cleaning industry greatly improved the cleaning & shortened the drying times.
Concern #2: All carpet cleaning companies are basically the same, so I'll go with the whole house special
The truth of the matter is this: despite what you may have seen in advertisements, no one can do a good job, much less make a living, cleaning your carpets for a low price. Low pricing strategies are often a sign of under-trained technicians and/or a company using outdated methods and/or equipment.
Answer: Low priced companies usually skip some important steps during the cleaning process. I take the time to follow proper cleaning methods recommended carpet cleaning.
Concern #3: I can do it myself with a do-it yourself rental machine
Answer: Rental machines lack vacuum which leaves too much cleaning solution behind. The carpet takes longer to dry. Carpet that dries quickly reduces the chances of moisture reaching the carpet backing & pad. There is potential for odors to emerge & spots reappearing, due to an affect called 'wick back'. Truck mounted cleaning systems have more vacuuming ability, which means the carpet should not be left as wet(if the technician has properly done his cleaning).
Concern #4 Do they have references or endorsements from their past clients?
Answer: Carpet mills recommend having the carpet professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months. This is a guide. Cleaning intervals will need to be adjusted according to how the carpet is maintained between cleaning intervals.
Concern #5: I have pets, will having my carpets cleaned actually make the smells worse?
Answer: It is important to try clean or treat pet accidents as they occur before there are too many spots or the areas become very large. Proper cleaning procedures done by a professional cleaner can reduce or eliminate pet urine odors. Professional cleaning techs should be able to adjust cleaning procedures accordingly to obtain the best final cleaning/deodorizing results.
5 Things You Should Know About A Carpet Cleaning Company:
1. Which Method of Cleaning do they use?
We use hot water extraction (steam cleaning) method. This method has the best cleaning results for most cleaning situations. The advances made in the cleaning industry greatly improved the cleaning & shortened the drying times.
2. Are the technicians certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC)?
I am IICRC certified in carpet cleaning. Certified technicians have been trained in proper cleaning procedures.
3. Does the company stand behind its work with a guarantee?
We focus on customer service – we guarantee your satisfaction with our services. We promise to be respectful of your home and personal belongings.
4. Do they have references or endorsements from their past clients?
References will be given to anybody who wants to check on our cleaning services.
5. Can they provide a free in-home inspection and estimate?
No company should quote over the phone without first reviewing your cleaning needs.
we do have free carpet, upholstery, tile, cleaning estimates.
How should pricing for cleaning be estimated?
The fairest pricing quotes are by the square of carpet cleaned. Some carpet may require more steps for proper cleaning. Per room or per area pricing are usually done by companies that wont properly clean the carpet because the price is typically low.

My first fan!
I must have made a squeak, because she immediately looked up. Then, a huge smile spread across her face. She ran towards me and said, "Oh Digby! I am such a big fan! I saw your competition last week and I thought it was so good!"
Well, that was unexpected! I suddenly felt shy, because I never had a fan before.
"What is your name?" I asked, pink in the face.
"My name is Rosemary!" She said brightly. "Do you want to practise tricks together?"
For the rest of the afternoon, we did different tricks together. Rosemary was actually very good as well. I thought she was copying me, but I am learning a lot from her! I quite like her. I'm so glad I made a new friend!

MS Ball Valves - Overview
Wellbeing fixture will be given in all toilets. In sweltering mid-year, it isn't exceptional to find the channels perspiring in the storm cellar and crawlspace areas. A ball valve shouldn't be mistaken for a ball-check valve", a type of check valve which utilizes a decent ball to stop undesired reverse. This sort of ball valve is called Cavity Filler Ball Valve. Where the liquid is expected for human utilization, deposits may likewise be wellbeing danger, and when where the liquid changes occasionally sullying of a solitary liquid with another might happen. On the off chance that fortunes are with you, they'll be set apart on the closer body concerning what they are or there'll be an outline inside the cover.
When playing on a customary screen setup the level of satisfactory inactivity remains at around 50ms. In addition, on the occasion space is done, there is adequate dampness to publicize form development and that may incredibly impact the air nature of the building. The channel region of a sand channel is comparable to the locale of the channel itself. One of the best things identifying with this valve, you can take out the split piece of the pipe and still make the fix. End tops of channels in different sizes are based inside this thing gathering (establishment embellishments), too. It's open once the ball's gap is as per the stream and shut when it's rotated 90-degrees by the valve handle. The precarious part is that, notwithstanding when grasp is by all accounts worn, there isn't any ensure that it is a simple matter of wear and tear the grip may have been too much worn by different shortcomings.
Sand rises aren't just produced using sand yet in addition to water. Go out to the sand and have the understudies delve in the sand and portray the things that they find. Also, inside and about our property we are encompassed by our our product page trees of different types. You require another entryway closer. There are a couple of fundamental fixes to stop additional dampness, yet regardless, it likewise is subject to the inception of the dampness.

Additionally, despite the fact that the FMS professes to supply an approach to decide prevalent development, the scoring framework is emotional.
Inside my sentiment, there's no right answer. Ask 100 diverse exercise experts what the perfect preparing framework is and you'll find 100 exceptional solutions! Simply push on and you're finished. Doubtlessly, you haven't gone crazy. Take a gander at how fortunate you're as of now! Go accomplish something and you'll feel obviously better. I should have the capacity to envision these necessities.
Lifespan and usefulness are the best objectives. The adaptability of this thing is magnificent. Moreover, there are different styles connected to the drag of the ball component itself. A little fun at work is what keeps fix life fascinating. It's actual, you can go at the present time and play with your mates. This should be practiced physically every couple of weeks.

*I have been getting in tons of painting time in my studio lately. I am inspired and slightly obsessed with painting/creating/experimenting. Picked up a whole bunch of paints lately...colors I normally don't use and also picked up some color samples from Home Depot (!!) to try out. Anything goes!
* I was supposed to try my hand at clay doll making this summer but it just never happened! I had every intention but...summer just slipped away.
* I am also obsessed with making cushions (after all, it's pretty much the only thing I can sew!!). Tim's going to wonder why we have a gazillion of them (tee hee hee). I also have been having fun at turning some of Tara's old dresses into skirts. Just cut the top part off, hem, add a bow or something and..there you go:)
* I had every intention of reopening my Etsy store months and months ago but it just never happened. Is it the last week of August already?? Anyways...I am hoping to have it up and running soon. Uh...no definitive date yet:)
* I start P.T. on my knee tomorrow. It has really slowed me down these past weeks so I am hoping to get it stronger these next many weeks. Fingers crossed.
* I have been so sleep deprived lately but in a good kinda' way. Inspired and creating in my studio till all hours of the night. Need that morning coffee to get me going!

text: CarZin 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2003 I have the same board a user in a blow thread has. The Gigabyte 8KNXP-Ultra Rev 2. It has an onboard u320 controller. This controller operates on a seperate PCI bus which is rated over 500 megabytes/sec (so, I am not limited by the standard PCI 33 Mhz bus). I have 3 Maxtor Atlas IV 36gig drives. They are 80 pin hard drives, and are being converted to 68 pin by EXPENSIVE adapters rated for u320 (like $35 a piece). So, I am not using cheap ebay junk. I am using an LVD/SE cable, and the cable is properly terminated. I Think I am affected by the XP bug, so tell me what you think 1) When I had a 2 drive RAID 0 stripe with the 3 drive set as a spare, I was getting the following numbers: on the RAID 0 array I was averaging about 90 megabytes/sec read, bursting to 110. on the SINGLE SPARE, I was averaging about 60 megabytes/sec read. 2) When I created a 3 drive stripe set, my numbers did not change for the stripe. Still averaging about 90 megabytes/sec. 3) I have used a lot of different tools. One of the tools I saw very weird results in was DiskSpeed32. On some boots (when I had a 2 drive stripe), the thing was showing 3.5 ms access time, and average transfers of 180 megabytes/sec. That just seemed bogus to me. Yet on other boots, I was seeing the 90 megabytes/sec (which seemed to be confirmed from other programs. I thought this was crap, until I had PCMark HD benchmarks vary from 2000 to 3500. Maybe this is nothing, maybe it is something. So, does it look like the XP problem, and that I need to use 2000, or is something else going on? Thanks!

A book and TV series and several movies were based on the law enforcement efforts of The Untouchables.

I have just come back from Sheldon, the retreat house near Exeter run by the society of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. I was part of a small group of clergy invited to take part in the first session of a year long leadership training course, run by CPAS on behalf of the Diocese of Exeter.
This first session was a 24 hour residential and there will be another one in September. In between there will be monthly day meetings in Exeter and I will also be assigned a mentor who will meet with me on a regular basis. I already know from this first session that the course will be immensely beneficial for me, and hopefully for both churches. In a world where organisations of all kinds invest in leadership, it is good to know the church is also devoting resources to this critically important area.
So as I start on this course, can I ask you to pray for lasting fruit in my life and the life of St Barnacles?
And here's a picture of the sunrise that greeted me as I woke up this morning:

Fewer Apply to Teach for America for Second Year in a Row
Applications for Teach for America have dropped for the second year in a row after 15 years of increases.
Applications are down "by about 10 percent from a year earlier on college campuses around the country as of the end of last month," reported an article in The New York Times. Kassondra Granata of Education World writes that the organization's mission is to transform education in much the same way as the charter school movement has, and yet, the group has announced that its teacher corps for the coming school year could be down as much as a quarter. Two of its eight national summer training sites, in New York City and Los Angeles, will be closed.
"I want the numbers to be higher, because the demand from districts is extremely high and we're not going to meet it this year," said Matt Kramer, a co-chief executive of Teach for America. But, he added, "it is not existentially concerning."
The program is known for its selectivity, accepting just 15% of its candidates last year. Kramer says standards will remain exactly the same in spite of the dip in applications. But some say the program seems a bit faded since it was in the spotlight in 1990 for beginning a crusade to teach needy children with a group much like the Peace Corps. Teach for America is a movement that has called attention to testing and standards, teacher evaluations tied to student test scores, and a more serious look at teacher tenure. But now, leaders of the program say the fewer applicants are because of the improving economy which has given excellent graduates more job opportunities.
Kramer disagrees that the organization's philosophy is the reason for fewer applicants. Motoko Rich, reporting for The New York Times, writes that the teaching profession in general has been losing favor among college graduates. The number of those who enrolled in teacher training programs fell 12.5%, according to government data, between the years of 2010 and 2013.
As Teach for America grew, criticism came from teachers unions, schools of education, and some policymakers about the two-year commitment of time, which they say causes instability, and the requirement of just five weeks of teacher training. Teach for America has made changes in preparing their teachers and the group's methods have given way to the creation of a number of alternate paths to becoming a teacher. Still, some college students are campaigning against the program.
"Teacher turnover really destabilizes a learning environment," said Hannah Nguyen, a University of Southern California junior who aspires to be a teacher but has helped organize protests against Teach for America. "So having a model that perpetuates that inequity in and of itself was also very confusing for me."
Enrique Calvo of Reuters writes that Teach for America is "the controversial education program known for supplying inexperienced college graduates to teach at often low-performing schools."
"Having experienced the national recession through much of their adolescence, college graduates today are placing a greater premium on what they see as financially sustainable professions," Kramer and co-CEO Elisa Villanueva Beard stated in the letter, according to the Washington Post. "Teaching and public service have receded as primary options."
Beard and Kramer added that the decrease will hurt their school partners and students who are planning for 6,000 teachers, but the overall health of the program is good.

I THANK THEE for giving me the WISDOM to sit STILL when satan is at WORK bcuz I know as soon as he's FINISHED, when satan THINKS he has me outta the game, I know that YOU'RE COMING to clean up the mess. And ONCE that mess is CLEANED UP & the DUST settles, it will REVEAL YOUR blessing that YOU have WAITING for me. I THANK YOU for REVEALING that blessing in the MOST UNEXPECTED way. In the MIGHTY name of JESUS CHRIST, Amen……..
This is the TRUE GODLY LOVE and it can ONLY come from GOD and NOWHERE ELSE. It's NOT LUST. It DON'T make u CHASE OTHERS who are NOT ur OWN. It DON'T make u desire to have CONVERSATIONS with & try to HOOK UP wit' OTHERS. It DON'T make u SNEAK AROUND or FLIRT wit OTHER PPL. GOD put that LOVE in u and it is THE TRUE LOVE which will ALLOW u to FORGIVE OTHERS for their TRANSGRESSIONS & SINS, no matter what they may be. Whether they commit ADULTERY, LIE, INFIDELITY, or commit some OTHER SIN u will find it in ur HEART to FORGIVE THEM. If NONE of what I said ABOVE applies to u and ur CHARACTER, then u really have some work to do in ur LIFE bcuz all u is is a LUSTER. NO MATTER the EXCUSE u give for ur ACTIONS, U are STILL just a LUSTER and U have ALWAYS BEEN a LUSTER!!!
What can I give HIM, POOR as I am
If I were a SHEPHERD, I would bring a LAMB
If I were a WISE MAN, I would do my PART
But what can I give HIM? I can give HIM my HEART…………………
GOOD morning FATHER GOD, GOOD morning JESUS CHRIST, GOOD morning HOLY SPIRIT. FATHER we THANK YOU for YOUR guidance and DIRECTING our steps. We know that when OUR steps are DIRECTED by YOU, WE are NEVER in the WRONG place at the WRONG time. When WE WORSHIP YOU and PRAISE YOUR KINGDOM, WE know that WE are lining OURSELVES up for a very SUCCESSFUL LIFE bcuz YOUR WORD says,"that with YOU WE have HOPE & a FUTURE " and WE have enough WISDOM to know that without YOU, NONE of this is POSSIBLE, NO HOPE or a BRIGHT FUTURE. WE THANK YOU for FORGIVING us of our SINS & TRANSGRESSIONS, as we FORGIVE those who TRESPASS against US. WE ask for WISDOM rather than RICHES bcuz WE know that YOU supply SUFFICIENCY in all things that WE do. WE patiently WAIT for YOU bcuz we know that YOU are lining up things up in OUR FAVOR. In the MIGHTY name of JESUS CHRIST, Amen.
This is a TRULY HEARTFELT PRAYER this morning FATHER bcuz I LOST someone who was close to me. I come before YOU with a HEAVY HEART but SOUND MIND. I wanna PRAY for my "LIL BRUTHA" who's no longer with us. And although we weren't BORN of the same MOTHER, YOU are still BOTH of our FATHER. I pray that YOU give his fiance the STRENGTH to carry on his LEGACY, which was GREAT FATHER, GREAT MAN, and I pray that she CONTINUES raising their kids as he was doing. FATHER I pray that YOU take the guns outta the hand of the ENEMY, but I also THANK THEE for JUSTICE in bringing his KILLERS to the judicial system. FATHER I know that JUSTICE will be SERVED bcuz YOU are a GOD of JUSTICE. FATHER I know that THESE are the LAST DAYS and we NEED YOU more than ever. Continue to FILL our homes with YOUR UNDYING LOVE and continue to COVER us in YOUR BLOOD. In the MIGHTY name of JESUS CHRIST, Amen……….

Welcome to Codebook, the cybersecurity newsletter that doesn't understand all the settings on its iron. Tips? Comments? Please reply to this email.
1 big thing: What 3519 Russian Facebook ads tell us
Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee Thursday released a redacted set of all the Facebook ads placed by Russia's Internet Research Agency before and after the 2016 election.
What the ads show: The ads — all 3519 of them — appear to be aimed at polarizing the American public. Often, that means taking both sides of the same issue.
- The ads aimed to split the Black Lives Matter crowd further from the All Lives Matter crowd, Muslims from bigots, Bernie Sanders supporters from Hillary Clinton supporters, Trump supporters from Hillary Clinton supporters, and so on.
- Most of the ads were designed to look like grassroots attempts to make viral memes, not slick marketing, and they often aim to inflame both sides of an issue. For instance, the ad urging you to taunt "homophobic bastard[s]" is illustrated with a picture of two men kissing — so it would enrage those who share its perspective and those who don't.
Be smart: We still don't know whether the Facebook campaign actually succeeded in achieving any of Russia's goals.
- The intelligence community, lawmakers and other experts generally agree that Russia's election antics intended to accomplish some mix of electing Donald Trump, undermining the U.S. system of democracy, and sharpening the discord between red and blue Americans. All of that happened.
- Most people with intelligence or psychological warfare experience who've spoken to Codebook don't think the social media campaign substantially moved the needle in a significant way toward any of those goals. They do believe leaks of hacked Democratic emails had more of an effect on the election.
Whether or not it was successful, the social media campaign probably represented an adversarial government spending a fortune to break federal laws in order to try to toy with the American public. And that alone is more than a little alarming.
2. Report: White House mulls nixing top cyber post
Politico's Eric Geller reports new national security advisor John Bolton wants to eliminate the White House's top cybersecurity post, currently held by Rob Joyce (who resigned just after Bolton took office).
Why it matters: For a White House facing unprecedented cybersecurity threats, The Trump administration sure seems eager to cut back on cybersecurity personnel and devalue expertise on the issue.
- When former secretary of state Rex Tillerson was restructuring the State Department, he eliminated a cybersecurity post that reported directly to him. The country's top cyber diplomat resigned.
- CIO.gov lists about a third of agencies as lacking a permanent chief information officer.
- Tom Bossert, the White House homeland security advisor with a penchant for cybersecurity, also bolted after Bolton.
Morale in natsec low: Geller describes morale at the National Security Council as low as Bolton shifts priorities on cyber and other issues.
What are we even doing here? It's probably no surprise that a cybersecurity newsletter is in the "Hey, maybe this is a thing" camp on this story. Still: This White House took office during a hacking scandal and has been on duty while a single act of cyberwarfare cost global companies more than $1 billion. That makes demoting cybersecurity a move that's hard to fathom.
3. Signal's self-destructing messages linger on Macs
Signal Messenger's self-destructing messages are saved by the Mac operating system's notification feature.
Why it matters: The end-to-end encrypted Signal is as close to a gold standard in secure chat as you will find among privacy-conscious users. But that was in part because the messages weren't stored beyond pre-designated time limits. Now, every old message is fair game for hackers again, provided it was sent to someone using a Mac version of Signal.
The details: The Mac notification system doesn't automatically delete old messages. Signal isn't coded to delete its own notifications, either. So even after it has deleted messages in its application, the system keeps a record of the notification of the message — even for users who have notifications turned off.
- The bug was initially noted by Alec Muffett, with Digita's Patrick Wardle drilling down to the reasons the messages didn't delete.
4. Court curtails border agents' cellphone searches
A federal appeals court ruled that border agents cannot do automated forensic search of cellphones without reason to assume their owners committed a crime — and possibly, not without a warrant.
Why it matters: Border agents have extremely broad authority to detain and search people coming into the country — so much so that agents have more or less taken free rein to search devices of anybody they choose.
- In U.S. v. Kolsuz, the Fourth Circuit became one of the first courts to take on the issue of border searches of electronic devices since a landmark 2014 case limited the police's right to search devices without a warrant. A Fifth Circuit case also supported a standard of at least reasonable suspicion.
- Special counsel Robert Mueller has used this tactic when he wants to search a Russian oligarch's phone at an airport.
The details: Though the court's ruling limits government authority, the government won the case at hand.
- Hamza Kolsuz, who was arrested trying to traffic a weapon out of the country through Dulles Airport, is a Turkish national who had been caught trying to transport weapons out of the country twice before.
- The court ruled that the border agents had enough reason for suspicion to meet the standards of the prior cases, which was enough to rule against Kolsuz.
5. Iran may launch cyber response to Trump's deal exit
If you've missed our coverage so far:
- President Trump's withdrawal from his predecessor's Iran nuclear deal has led several cybersecurity experts to fear retaliation from the Middle Eastern nation that's recently established itself as a sophisticated cyber threat.
- Iran's cyberwarfare strategy uses hastily recruited combatants for quick strikes, which may not bode well for the country's ability to control operations in progress.
But, but, but: Though Iran has responded to U.S. actions with cyber attacks in the past, it may have some strategic reasons not to do that this time.
6. Odds and ends
- ZTE shuts down production after U.S. blocks sale of tech. (Ars Technica)
- Middle Eastern nations are using hacked data and Western media to fight a proxy war. (Buzzfeed)
- A bill to add a bug bounty program to the State Department cleared committee. (The Hill)
- European copyright notices allege T-Mobile owns the color magenta. (The Register)
- Tidal, the music service owned by Jay Z, might have faked listener numbers for Kanye West and Beyonce. Beyonce is married to Jay Z. (Rolling Stone)
Codebook will return Tuesday. And why wouldn't it?

A Bethlehem Christmas
2014 was designated by the United Nations as the International Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Human rights violations continue unabated. Freedom of movement and freedom to worship for example, remain but a dream to most Palestinians.
The Apartheid Wall seems especially grotesque at Christmastime.
My New Year's wish? That 2015 becomes the real year for Palestine. A free and peaceful Palestine. Without that stinking, racist wall of oppression.
