A frequent issue I identify during a security assessment or audit is the use of default or weak passwords. In SplashData's sixth annual "Worst Passwords" report, compiled from more than five million passwords leaked during the year, three variations of "password" appear, including "passw0rd" and "password1." … "Simple numerical passwords remain common, with five of the top 10 passwords on this year's list comprised of numbers only." … "Simple numerical passwords remain common, with five of the top 10 passwords on this year's list comprised of numbers only." "Just over 10% of people use at least one of the 25 worst passwords on this year's list, with nearly 4% of people using the worst password, 123456." (See https://www.teamsid.com/worst-passwords-2016/). Kali Linux is loaded with tools that can help audit default or weak passwords ("Kali Linux Tools," n.d.).
So when performing a security assessment or audit, I first check for the use of default accounts and passwords and the use of weak login credentials. Websites such as default password list the default credentials for a wide variety of devices. Below I will demonstrate three utilities you can use to audit for the use of default accounts and passwords and the use of weak login credential, using two virtual machines; one running Kali Linux and the other running Metasploitable 2.
In an earlier post I demonstrated how to do basic port scanning with Nmap to identify open ports and services running on host (e.g., Metasploitable 2). Here are the results (This scan took 18 hours):
I am going to use Hydra, Medusa, and NCrack to audit for the use of default accounts and passwords and the use of weak login credentials.
Hydra is a parallelized login audit utility which supports: Cisco AAA, Cisco auth, Cisco enable, CVS, FTP, HTTP(S)-FORM-GET, HTTP(S)-FORM-POST, HTTP(S)-GET, HTTP(S)-HEAD, HTTP-Proxy, ICQ, IMAP, IRC, LDAP, MS-SQL, MySQL, NNTP, Oracle Listener, Oracle SID, PC-Anywhere, PC-NFS, POP3, PostgreSQL, RDP, Rexec, Rlogin, Rsh, SIP, SMB(NT), SMTP, SMTP Enum, SNMP v1+v2+v3, SOCKS5, SSH (v1 and v2), SSHKEY, Subversion, Teamspeak (TS2), Telnet, VMware-Auth, VNC and XMPP (See https://tools.kali.org/password-attacks/hydra).
Hydra's basic usage:
|$ hydra -s <port> -l <username> -p <password> -t <number> <target> <protocol>
Note: the -t option defines the number of parallelized tasks to run.
Hydra also has a GUI interface that is access by typing "xhydra" at the command prompt:
I audit Secure Shell (SSH) for user "root" and password "root." SSH is a software package that enables secure system administration and file transfers over insecure networks. It is used in nearly every data center, in every larger enterprise ("SSH," n.d.). Hydra returns ") valid passwords found.
Hydra also allows you to specify a username list and password list. Kali Linux includes many. There are also many username and password lists on the Internet you can download and use (See my post Wordlists).
I select "unix_users.txt" and "unix_passwords" and launch hydra again against SSH. The lists contain 112 usernames and 1008 passwords. This audit will take some time:
If you know the password policy, Hydra has a utility "pw-inspector" that reads passwords in and prints those which meet the requirements:
For instance, in the above example where I used the unix_password list if I knew the policy was eight characters I could have used pw-inspector to trim the file. By using pw-inspector, I cut the list to 155 passwords:
Hydra will stop during the audit if it finds a username and password combination that works. BINGO. As shown below, Hydra found the log on "sys" with a weak password "batman":
I press start to continue with the audit. But Hydra "burps" and stops the audit short because it encountered an error:
But that is ok. Hydra automatically creates a file called "hydra.restore" in the directory where Hydra is executed. I go to the command line and use the -R option to resume the audit. Hydra completes its tasks:
I try to SSH with the username and password combination Hydra found and I am able to login to Metasploitable 2:
Ncrack is a high-speed network authentication cracking tool. It was built to help companies secure their networks by proactively testing all their hosts and networking devices for poor passwords. Security professionals also rely on Ncrack when auditing their clients. Ncrack was designed using a modular approach, a command-line syntax similar to Nmap and a dynamic engine that can adapt its behaviour based on network feedback. It allows for rapid, yet reliable large-scale auditing of multiple hosts. Ncrack is included inn Kali Linux ("Ncrack," n.d.).
Ncrack's features include a very flexible interface granting the user full control of network operations, allowing for very sophisticated bruteforcing attacks, timing templates for ease of use, runtime interaction similar to Nmap's and many more. Protocols supported include SSH, RDP, FTP, Telnet, HTTP(S), POP3(S), IMAP, SMB, VNC, SIP, Redis, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, WinRM and OWA ("Ncrack," n.d.).
I use Ncrack to audit telent (See below). Telnet is used to connect to remote computers and issue commands on those computers ("Telnet," n.d.). But first I try to login to Telnet using "root" and password "root. No luck:
Next, I use Ncrack. Ncrack's basic usage:
|$ ncrack -u <username> -P <password.txt> 10.0.2.6:23
As above, I select username "root" and "unix_passwords" and launch Ncrack again against Telnet.
Ncrack returns no valid passwords found.
Medusa is like THC Hydra and Ncrack but because of its stability and fast login ability is often prefer over THC Hydra and Ncrack (Medusa" n.d.). I will use medusa to audit the rlogin service open on Metasploitable 2 (See above).
TCP ports 512, 513, and 514 are known as "r" and can be misconfigured to allow remote access from any host (a standard ".rhosts + +" situation). rlogin is a software utility for Unix/Linux that allows users to log in on another host via a network, using TCP port 513. rlogin was first distributed as part of the 4.2BSD release in 1977 but now because of security issues has been replaced by the slogin and the ssh. However, you may still find it on a system, which is the case with Metasploitable 2 (See above). If you find it running, you should audit it.
The rsh package contains a set of programs which allow users to run commmands on remote machines, login to other machines and copy files between machines (rlogin, rsh, and rcp). All three of these commands use rhosts style authentication ("RPM," n.d.).
Remote login works like Telnet. You run the utility with the host name of the server and you can connect and run commands interactively. Unlike Telnet, rlogin can be configured to log on automatically without a user name and password.
rsh (Remote Shell) allows you to send single commands to the remote server. Whereas rlogin is designed to be used interactively, RSH can be easily integrated into a script. RSH runs over TCP port 514 by default.
rcp (Remote Copy) provides the ability to copy files to and from the remote server without the need to resort to FTP or NFS (Network File System, the UNIX form of folder sharing). RCP can also be used in scripts and shares TCP port 514 with RSH.
First check to see if the "rsh" package is installed:
Second, I check to see if the rsh client is installed:
If it is not you will get this error if you try to rlogin because rlogin defaults the SSH:
This error means that the rsh client is not installed and rlogin is defaulting to SSH. I install the rsh client:
I try again. ROOT. Game over.
I move on to another services. Medusa has many modules:
I try Samba. Samba is the standard Windows interoperability suite of programs for Linux and Unix. Samba is a critical component to seamlessly integrate Linux/Unix Servers and Desktops into Active Directory environments. It can function both as a domain controller or as a regular domain member ("About," n.d.).
Medusa's basic usages:
|$ medusa -h <target> -u <username> -P <wordlist> -M <module>
Note: The "-e ns" instructs Medusa to additionally check if the administrator account has either a blank password or has its password set to match its username (administrator).
Medusa is fast but has no luck. I could try more username and password combinations, but I move on to another service. I work the Postgres service. PostgreSQL is a robust, open source object-relational database system. It has more than 15 years of active development and a proven architecture that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, data integrity, and correctness. It runs on all major operating systems, including Linux, UNIX (AIX, BSD, HP-UX, SGI IRIX, macOS, Solaris, Tru64), and Windows ("About," n.d.).
I use Kali's supplied "postgre_default_user" for usernames, and I use the same list for passwords. As a first step, it is a best practice to check if users are using their usernames as passwords (or no password at all). And this time I include the -F option that instructs Medusa to stop the audit after the first valid username/password found. We get a hit on User postgres, Password: postgres:
I decide to circle back and unleash the full power of Medusa on the SMB again. This time I use a list of 44 usernames that I harvested through a variety of means from Metasploitable 2 (See https://pdrcybersecurity.com/tag/user-enumeration/) and the Top 500 Worst Passwords of All Time list ("Whats," n.d.).
This time I run Medusa and add the -t option, the -L option. The -t option instructs Medusa to check ten users concurrently. The -L option tells Medusa to parallelize by the user, meaning each of the ten threads targeting a host checks a unique user. I also include the -F option again that instructs Medusa to stop if it finds a valid username and password combination. Medusa finds no username or password combinations:
Next, I use the same username list of 44 usernames that I harvested through a variety of means from Metasploitable 2 but use Kali's "password.lst" that contains 88,396 passwords. Again Medusa finds no username or password combinations. But the point and process are clear.

Tips and Tricks
Tips and tricks for producing great flower gardens. After gardening for 30 years I have stumbled across some tips and tricks that may help in your gardening quest. I do not claim to know it all but I am passionate about gardening and I have produced some of the most beautiful gardens. I have had great success with plants known to be difficult. I have also had my fair share of failures but from each of those I have learned something.
Do not be afraid to move a plant if it appears to be struggling and has not been in the ground to long. If you suspect the location is at fault, just move it. I've been known to move even shrubs and trees after two seasons. If it appears I could lose it I just move it. I have a 99% success rate on the plants I have moved. There are so many factors to each location that changing the location can make all the difference. If you have to move something the spring is the best time to transplant. The temperatures are cooler and the moisture higher.
When possible always purchase plants in potted containers. Even trees are better potted, they may not be as big but they soon will be. Potted plants have not had their roots chopped, instead they have been grown that way. My potted trees easily caught up with and passed my balled and burlapped trees in just 2 seasons. Root bound potted plants are thankful to be put in the ground and they are ready to thrive.
Do not water late in the evening, this promotes fungus and mold. If you have to water late in the day, try to do it at least an hour before sundown so the leaves have time to dry before the cooler temperatures arrive. The best time to water is early am, this gives strength to the plants to fight the drying sun. The only time I prefer watering in the evening is during those days of excessive heat and sun. This is when I like to give a moderate sprinkle to help cool down the soil and roots. A lot of people think that heavy watering is required, not true with flowers, since they have a fairly shallow root system excessive watering does no good. The best thing to do is provide a drip system that distributes the water very slowly. Rain barrels are also great for reducing municipal water needs not to mention the benefits of minerals and nutrients the rain water contains.
Mulching is a must! There is no better way to protect your plants roots and retain moisture. Mulch also adds nutrients to the soil and improves the soil quality as it breaks down. I recommend nothing but a good hardwood mulch like cedar. Stay away from the dyes, pine and big chunk mulch which do nothing for the soil. Softer mulches can also create a bug problem and attract termites.
If you intend to decorate with stone, be sure the plant is well rooted and established. I do not recommend stone around any plant other than trees and some very hardy shrubs. Stone can generate an extreme amount of heat when baked in the sun, this puts stress on the roots and tender leaves of many plants. Since trees and vigorous bush roots grow deeper they are able to withstand the higher temperatures.
If you have absolutely horrid soil and don't have the patience to improve it, try adding a berm of healthy soil. I owned a property that was impossible. I created a huge berm by digging the grass, turning it upside down over the area and then adding good soil on top of it. The dying grass added nutrients below while the plants had time to grow in the good soil above.
In established gardens the soil should be turned every spring. Roots need to breath and the soil naturally compacts over time. Turning the soil the best you can will help your plants take off in the spring. Mix some compost or fertilizers in while doing this to add back some of the nutrients used the prior season.
You do not have to follow tags to the tee. I have often found that plants do very well outside there recommendations. Try something different and if it does not work you can always move it. The tags are just what it says, recommendations.
Install some benefits like water features. Water features bring beneficial insects that improve garden production. Insects need to drink just like all other creatures, providing them with a complete environment will keep them and your plants happy.
Keep your flowers pinched back if they are that variety. The only way to have abundant bloom all season is to keep up with pinching back flowers like Geraniums, Roses and Petunias. I check mine everyday while I water.
If you have a really trouble spot and just can't get anything to grow there, try an accessory or planter there. You can fill in trouble areas with almost anything and create interest at the same time. Statues, water features, gel burners and boulders are just a few options.
Try using your fallen leaves in your garden beds, just mulch the leaves and mix with the soil. They provide an abundance of nutrients and help separate the soil. There is nothing better than natural nutrients for garden beds.
I will continue to add tips and tricks to this page as I remember them and find new ones. Everyone deserves to have a garden paradise and if everyone did, the world would be a happier place.

4.5: Statements of the Second Law of Thermodynamics
- Page ID
- 4368
Earlier in this chapter, we introduced the Clausius statement of the second law of thermodynamics, which is based on the irreversibility of spontaneous heat flow. As we remarked then, the second law of thermodynamics can be stated in several different ways, and all of them can be shown to imply the others. In terms of heat engines, the second law of thermodynamics may be stated as follows:
Second Law of Thermodynamics (Kelvin statement)
It is impossible to convert the heat from a single source into work without any other effect.
This is known as the Kelvin statement of the second law of thermodynamics. This statement describes an unattainable "perfect engine," as represented schematically in Figure \(\PageIndex{1a}\). Note that "without any other effect" is a very strong restriction. For example, an engine can absorb heat and turn it all into work, but not if it completes a cycle. Without completing a cycle, the substance in the engine is not in its original state and therefore an "other effect" has occurred. Another example is a chamber of gas that can absorb heat from a heat reservoir and do work isothermally against a piston as it expands. However, if the gas were returned to its initial state (that is, made to complete a cycle), it would have to be compressed and heat would have to be extracted from it.
The Kelvin statement is a manifestation of a well-known engineering problem. Despite advancing technology, we are not able to build a heat engine that is \(100\%\) efficient. The first law does not exclude the possibility of constructing a perfect engine, but the second law forbids it.
Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\): (a) A "perfect heat engine" converts all input heat into work. (b) A "perfect refrigerator" transports heat from a cold reservoir to a hot reservoir without work input. Neither of these devices is achievable in reality.
We can show that the Kelvin statement is equivalent to the Clausius statement if we view the two objects in the Clausius statement as a cold reservoir and a hot reservoir. Thus, the Clausius statement becomes: It is impossible to construct a refrigerator that transfers heat from a cold reservoir to a hot reservoir without aid from an external source. The Clausius statement is related to the everyday observation that heat never flows spontaneously from a cold object to a hot object. Heat transfer in the direction of increasing temperature always requires some energy input. A "perfect refrigerator," shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{1b}\), which works without such external aid, is impossible to construct.
To prove the equivalence of the Kelvin and Clausius statements, we show that if one statement is false, it necessarily follows that the other statement is also false. Let us first assume that the Clausius statement is false, so that the perfect refrigerator of Figure \(\PageIndex{1b}\) does exist. The refrigerator removes heat Q from a cold reservoir at a temperature \(T_c\) and transfers all of it to a hot reservoir at a temperature \(T_h\). Now consider a real heat engine working in the same temperature range. It extracts heat \(Q + \Delta Q\) from the hot reservoir, does work W, and discards heat Q to the cold reservoir. From the first law, these quantities are related by
\[W = (Q + \Delta Q) - Q = \Delta Q.\]
Suppose these two devices are combined as shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\). The net heat removed from the hot reservoir is \(\Delta Q\), no net heat transfer occurs to or from the cold reservoir, and work W is done on some external body. Since \(W = \Delta Q\), the combination of a perfect refrigerator and a real heat engine is itself a perfect heat engine, thereby contradicting the Kelvin statement. Thus, if the Clausius statement is false, the Kelvin statement must also be false.
Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\): Combining a perfect refrigerator and a real heat engine yields a perfect heat engine because \(W = \Delta Q\).
Using the second law of thermodynamics, we now prove two important properties of heat engines operating between two heat reservoirs. The first property is that any reversible engine operating between two reservoirs has a greater efficiency than any irreversible engine operating between the same two reservoirs.
The second property to be demonstrated is that all reversible engines operating between the same two reservoirs have the same efficiency. To show this, we start with the two engines D and E of Figure \(\PageIndex{3a}\), which are operating between two common heat reservoirs at temperatures \(T_h\) and \(T_c\). First, we assume that D is a reversible engine and that E is a hypothetical irreversible engine that has a higher efficiency than D. If both engines perform the same amount of work \(W\) per cycle, it follows from [link] that \(Q_h > Q'_h\). It then follows from the first law that \(Q_c > Q'_c\).
Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\): (a) Two uncoupled engines D and E working between the same reservoirs. (b) The coupled engines, with D working in reverse.
Suppose the cycle of D is reversed so that it operates as a refrigerator, and the two engines are coupled such that the work output of E is used to drive D, as shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{3b}\). Since \(Q_h > Q'_h\) and \(Q_c > Q'_c\), the net result of each cycle is equivalent to a spontaneous transfer of heat from the cold reservoir to the hot reservoir, a process the second law does not allow. The original assumption must therefore be wrong, and it is impossible to construct an irreversible engine such that E is more efficient than the reversible engine D.
Now it is quite easy to demonstrate that the efficiencies of all reversible engines operating between the same reservoirs are equal. Suppose that D and E are both reversible engines. If they are coupled as shown in Figure \(\PageIndex{3b}\), the efficiency of E cannot be greater than the efficiency of D, or the second law would be violated. If both engines are then reversed, the same reasoning implies that the efficiency of D cannot be greater than the efficiency of E. Combining these results leads to the conclusion that all reversible engines working between the same two reservoirs have the same efficiency.
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
What is the efficiency of a perfect heat engine? What is the coefficient of performance of a perfect refrigerator?
A perfect heat engine would have \(Q_c = 0\), which would lead to \(e = 1 - Q_c/Q_h = 1\). A perfect refrigerator would need zero work, that is, \(W = 0\), which leads to \(K_R = Q_c/W \rightarrow \infty\).
Exercise \(\PageIndex{2}\)
Show that \(Q_h - Q'_h = Q_c - Q'_c\) for the hypothetical engine of Figure \(\PageIndex{1b}\).
From the engine on the right, we have \(W = Q'_h - Q'_c\). From the refrigerator on the right, we have \(Q_h = Q_c + W\). Thus \(W = Q'_h - Q'_c = Q_h - Q_c\).

This Woman Is Bringing Yoga To Those Who Need It Most — But She Needs Your Help
To LaRayia Gaston, "charity" is a dirty word.
Gaston has dedicated her life to serving those on Skid Row, a stretch of Los Angeles less than a mile long but packed with thousands of homeless men and women. To her, the traditional notion of charity—a person who has more tangible resources giving to those who have less—is a tangled web of power and privilege. It leads to dependency, and it only serves to further divide us.
"If you think you're greater than the person you serve, you're not in the position to be of service," Gaston tells mbg. True service isn't about handouts—it's sharing what you have with love and gratitude and being open to receiving too.
People can save themselves, but you have to give them the room to do it.
Gaston and her team of five run a Lunch on Me program that delivers nutritious, plant-based, and organic meals to Skid Row six days a week. They always eat with those they serve and hold space for them in the process.
They nourish with more than just food, also holding regular healing ceremonies that incorporate yoga, breathwork, crystals, and essential oils to give people tools to work through blocks and past traumas. "People can save themselves, but you have to give them the room to do it. There is no us saving anyone—we're just empowering them and giving them spaces to work out their stuff."
She's seen how valuable spiritual practices like these can be to the homeless, especially those who suffer from PTSD: "Yoga is healing for them, just like it's healing everybody in the billion-dollar wellness industry. The difference is that people who don't have access usually need it the most."
A new home base for Lunch on Me.
Right now, Gaston creates these classes piecemeal, renting out rooms throughout the city as they become available. But looking forward to 2019, she's hoping to build a healing space of her own. Her cafe and yoga studio will employ 20 to 30 homeless people and offer them the opportunity to get certified in Reiki, breathwork, and yoga teaching if they're interested.
"People aren't hired because they don't have an address. It's that simple. The system was created to suppress people, and they can't get out of their situation without people giving them a chance."
Beyond employing those who wouldn't have otherwise been able to secure a job, Gaston will make all classes donation-based so that anyone who wants to participate is able to. She'll open the floor to yogis who want to teach a class and share their energy with people who could really use it. She'll reserve areas for donated yoga pants and spiritual books to break down any barriers keeping people out. She'll invite people from all walks of life to practice together—in the process showing that we can all learn something from each other; we just need to be sure there are enough mats.
"It's a space that benefits everyone because you're bringing two different worlds together," she says. "There are enough divides in this world. It's such a beautiful thing to create that kind of togetherness."
To help bring Gaston's vision to life, you can donate from now until January 2 through the mindbodygreen Crowdrise link here.
And are you ready to learn more about how to unlock the power of food to heal your body, prevent disease & achieve optimal health? Register now for our FREE web class with nutrition expert Kelly LeVeque.

MOCA@Loewen is proud to present iconic avant garde Chinese artist, Xue Song in a solo exhibition showcasing his most recent series Dialogue with Mondrian. Born in 1965, Xue Song began creating collages from ashes and half-burnt objects in a cathartic fashion after a fire in his studio burnt down all of his works and belongings in the early nineties. The Dialogue with Mondrian series pays homage to the De Stijl movement, in which Mondrian was a main contributor. The exhibition will be on view from April 6 through April 25, 2013.
The graphic approach, the outline of his portrait and the collage composition all remove the feeling of an individual and emphasize the icon, while the elements of the collages recall his personality, his preferences and his deeds.
White Hot Magazine, New York, 24 May 2008
Calligraphic works and figurative paintings by the Shanghai artist Xue Song are characterized by a bold and energetic style. Both his figures and Chinese characters have clearly defined outlines and are superimposed on an intricate collage of hundreds of fragments of printed paper. Xue Song's trademark collages represent the many different aspects of Chinese culture; for example, he incorporates traditional Chinese paintings, ancient calligraphy, folk art, religious icons, legendary figures and historical photographs. Through these classic images, Xue Song makes deliberate and specific references to Chinese history, society, politics and art.
Many of the fragments of paper in Xue Song's collages have burnt edges, a feature of his work that originates in the tragic destruction of his studio by fire several years ago. All that remained from the blaze were charred fragments of paintings and piles of ash. To cope with the pain of his loss, Xue Song retrieved these remains and pasted them onto canvas. For him, ash is both a reminder of fate and a symbol of rebirth. Ever since, he has painstakingly burned the edges of the paper fragments in his collages. The main figures or characters in his painting are executed in a mixture of burnt wood ash and glue, resulting in a rough texture that contrasts with the smooth glazed collage background.
In the past, Xue Song has taken inspiration from a number of master painters, both Western and Chinese. His "Talk with Masters" series consisted of pastiches of artists including Picasso, Mondrian, Yves Klein, Franz Kline, Jasper Johns, Zhang Daqian, Liu Haisu, Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong. Other paintings have featured large silhouettes making iconic references to famous Western and Chinese political figures.
Recently he has been inspired by the "New Interpretation of Classic Poems" series of paintings by the artist Feng Zikai (1898-1975), considered the founder of modern cartoons in China. Feng was a close observer of nature and children, and was sympathetic to ordinary people. Xue Song imitates Feng's style and themes perfectly, the cartoon-like black outlines providing an intriguing contrast with his collages. His message seems to be that the morals of the ancient verses, reinterpreted first by Feng Zikai and now by himself, have persisted through the centuries.
Currently, Xue Song's chief interest is calligraphy, which of all the genres of Chinese art he believes has achieved the highest level. He admires calligraphy for its pictorial and rhythmic qualities, and also for its centuries-old history. Some of Xue Song's calligraphic paintings consist of well-known verses, or individual legible characters. In others, the characters are either incomplete or impressionistic: here he is simply exploring the possibilities of the form, structure and energy of Chinese calligraphy, in other words, using calligraphy as a form of abstract painting. A thoughtful and intellectual artist, Xue Song shows respect for Chinese tradition, while thinking about which direction Chinese calligraphy should take nowadays.

STOCKTON - As we wind down 2013, it's time to reflect on the stories that made headlines and touched the lives of readers of The Record.
STOCKTON - As we wind down 2013, it's time to reflect on the stories that made headlines and touched the lives of readers of The Record.
Editors selected 27 stories as the biggest of the year, and readers ranked them to come up with their top 10.
Starting today, The Record will examine those top selections of the readers, reminding people of what our readers say are the top stories of the year. We'll also show how the staff voted.
Readers were asked to rank all 27 stories, and their rankings were averaged to come up with their top 10.
Today: Nos. 6-10.
A hunter's illegal campfire goes out of control on Aug. 17, igniting an inferno that eventually becomes the largest fire recorded in the Sierra Nevada and the third-largest in California. Although it burns a wide swath of land - more than 402 square miles - in Tuolumne and Mariposa counties, the number of buildings burned is small (11 homes, three commercial buildings, and 98 outbuildings are destroyed). The economic impact on gateways to Yosemite is huge. After an appeal by Gov. Jerry Brown, the federal government declares it a disaster. The fire burned for more than two months, spewing thick, acrid smoke across vast areas of the Mother Lode and mountains, and into Reno. It is finally contained Oct. 24.
Kevin Tonn, 35, was responding to a reported burglary in Galt on Jan. 15, when he was shot by the suspect, who then turned the gun on himself. A popular K-9 officer, Tonn was remembered and honored by thousands who turned out to his memorial. His partner, K-9 officer Yaro, reportedly whimpered throughout the funeral. Tonn was the second peace officer to die in the line of duty in Galt in less than three months. Unarmed animal control officer Roy Curtis Marcum, 45, had been fatally shot by a man being evicted from his home in November 2012.
The crowds have been faithful to the Stockton Thunder for years. And in 2013, the fans' loyalty was rewarded big time as the Thunder advanced to the Kelly Cup finals. The Kelly Cup is the ECHL's equivalent of the Stanley Cup. Although the Thunder didn't win the championship, the team brought excitement by winning the Western Conference.
That Stockton needed a plan to fight violence wasn't in question. What that plan should be was. Former Mayor Ann Johnston had proposed a Marshall Plan, and city staffers had worked on it for more than a year. In comes new Mayor Anthony Silva, and he has another proposal, Stockton Safe Streets, endorsed by national crime-fighting figure William Bratton. Voters would be asked to go to the polls in June to vote to tax themselves for one plan or the other, and for a while it appeared the dueling plans might turn off the voters. Reluctantly, Silva withdrew his proposal and even more reluctantly endorsed the Marshall Plan. Voters pass Measures A and B in June, which will help bring up to 120 more police officers to Stockton's streets.
Stockton, which was the largest city at the time to file for bankruptcy in 2012 (Detroit filed for bankruptcy in 2013), continued its efforts to emerge from bankruptcy. City leaders negotiated with creditors, coming to agreements with many of them, on Stockton's debts. And the city took other plans to court for a judge's oversight. City leaders have filed a plan of adjustment, which the court is now considering.

The other day, I was in the cafeteria at my job. I have been on a big salad and fruit kick, and I noticed they had some apples that I did not typically see in the cafeteria or the grocery store. So I bought one, anticipating I may want an afternoon snack.
Through the remainder of the day I was in several teleconferences and by the time the third one rolled around, I was falling asleep from the monotony. So I put my phone on mute and took a bite of the apple. Instantly I had an incredible memory rush. It felt like I was in a scene from the show Heroes when Hiro Nacamura switched time or Sylar moved in fast motion. There was this flash of movement, leaving an ethereal light stream behind them. I can't say it was a visual thing, but I could see the rush.
The first picture I saw in my mind was one of the apple trees that was on the firm where I grew up. I could taste the apple. It was the same taste as the applies from that tree. But it wasn't only the taste I felt. I actually felt like I was on the farm eating an apple from that tree. Yes I could taste the apple, but even the scene was different from my actual location. The lighting in my mind was bright sunshine, and I could feel the heat of it on my skin. I could also feel a light breeze, which made the leaves on the tree rustle. I could smell fresh-cut hay. It was the smell of green and sunshine together. The sky was bright robin egg blue with huge pillowy clouds. I could feel that it was early fall or late summer. Harvesting time. I could hear the harvesting machinery. I also could feel that I was barefoot, and the rough black top was hot under my feet, along with the feeling of sand crystals that were on the surface of the black top road. The apple tree was beside the lane that went to the house. I had ridden my bike many times on that road. There was so many things my sister and I did on that road. We played hopscotch, two square and jumped rope. I also saw our white house with the flag pole. It reminded me of my bedroom which was decorated with bright orange. I saw the garage which was a place that we liked to adventure. We really didn't put cars in it. Instead we built things with wood, or worked on the machinery. I could also see the barn. The barn doors were open. It must be feeding time because I can hear the cows. It wouldn't be long and it would be milking time.
The whole scene made me feel very happy and warm inside. It was a good memory, from a time when I was pleasantly happy with life. A time for blissful happiness and no drenching sorrow. A time for family. A time of peace. What a wonderful apple. Sometimes when your life is encased in stress and anxiety, it is good to remember that life can be good.

My name is Tiffany and I'm a DC Wedding + Event Planner. I LOVE THIS BUSINESS and I'm sure my posts will show you why. Hope you enjoy!
Jamilyah + Bradley were married on May 10, 2015 at Smokey Glen Farm in Gaithersburg, MD
Jamilyah + Bradley were one of the most down to earth couples I'd ever had the pleasure of working with. From their quaint home in Mt. Rainier, to their bright yellow jeep, working with these two was a complete breeze. It was no surprise to me that they'd be getting married in a barn in the suburbs of Maryland to match their personalities, which Jamilyah frequently called "her barn".

Clear waters of the purest turquoise splash playfully along the beaches shaded by the majestic fronds of tall palms trees making Honduras the ideal paradise. Aside from the mountains, jungles and Mayan ruins, the easy-going way of life and small tourist market entice travellers seeking a path of their own.
Despite the multiple attractions, from inviting beaches to elegant hotels and rich history, Honduras has long been one of tourisms best kept secrets. Though greatly talked about in 1998 when the area was struck by Hurricane Mitch, it has only recently gained popularity as a destination little touched by man. Favoured by ecotourists for its abundance of affordable outdoor activities, including river rafting and scuba diving, Honduras is also a prime destination for celebrities seeking a moment away from the glare of photographers..
Dubbed the Banana Republic due to the many banana plantations, it is also known for its banana chips, banana pancakes and fried plantain. You may get an opportunity to pose with a toucan or perhaps a delicate orchid if you dare climb to one of Honduras' many cloud forests. Hidden in the tangles of a jungle you may come upon Mayan or Lenca ruins and be amazed as the past greets you. Amidst the green valley of the western region The World Heritage Site of Copan Ruins is by far the most impressive Mayan archaeological site in the country.
So what are you waiting for? find your cheap flights to Honduras now!
Happy Searching!

Edwin learns of his ancestor Stone, a young Plains Cree man, who came of age in the early 19th century. Following a vision quest, Stone aspires to be like his older brother, Bear, a member of the Warrior Society. But when Bear is tragically killed during a Blackfoot raid, Stone, the best shot and rider in his encampment, must overcome his grief and avenge his brother's death. Only then can he begin a new life with his bride, Nahoway. It is Stone's story that drives Edwin to embark on his own quest.

In 1964, two brothers are taken from the warm and loving care of their grandparents, and spirited away to a residential school, miles from home. James, assigned to manual work on the grounds, sees less and less of his younger brother, Thomas. James soon discovers the anguish that Thomas is living under, which leads to unspeakable tragedy. The pain and guilt that dogs James continues to affect his troubled son, Edwin (introduced in book 1). But a new understanding is dawning between them... Ends/Begins is book 3 in the graphic novel series 7 Generations.

As the pain and loss of James's residential school experiences follow him into adulthood, his life spirals out of control. Haunted by guilt, he is unable to maintain a relationship with Lauren and their son Edwin. Edwin, mired in his own pain, tries to navigate past the desolation of his fatherless childhood. As James tries to heal himself he begins to realize that, somehow, he may save his son's life – as well as his own. When father and son finally meet, can they heal their shattered relationship, and themselves, or will it be too late?
The Pact is the final book in the 7 Generations series. Other books in the series include:
Book 1: Stone introduces Edwin, who learns of his ancestor Stone, a young Plains Cree man.
Book 2: Scars, the story of the orphan White Cloud, set against the smallpox epidemic of 1870-1871.
Book 3: Ends/Begins, the story of Edwin's father, and the residential school saga.
The 7 Generations series is available in one book, and the illustrations are in vivid colour. 7 Generations: A Plains Cree Saga includes the four graphic novels: Stone, Scars, Ends/Begins, and The Pact.
Edwin is facing an uncertain future. Only by learning about his family's past—as warriors, survivors of a smallpox epidemic, casualties of a residential school—will he be able to face the present and embrace the future.

The brilliant follow-up to War of Blink and RED: A Haida Manga — another stunningly inventive retelling of an ancient Haida tale.
Notes on a Tale of Two Shamans - ga Sraagaa sdang from the author:
"The work that you are about to read is old, much older than any of us still living. It is probably older than anything one could even call Canadian. It precedes us all. Obviously I am not the primary creator of such a narrative, but as a Haida citizen, it is an ancestral experience. The strength of owning a thing is often expressed as a right to share it. In this retelling we the illustrators, editors, linguists, curators and indeed the community of living Haidas and friend invite you to join with us. Come as a respected guest. Sit at the table and be nourished by our living culture. This story is a blend of accounts recorded at the turn of the nineteenth century in three of the once numerous dialects of the Haida language. I have combined elements from these accounts into a newly constructed whole. Be cautioned that these images are interpretations informed by my own cultural composition and life experiences. This is a contemporary rendering of a worldview first expressed in different times and probably for different reasons. I am not stepping forward to join that dais filled with authorities claiming to represent those distant times. I am a Haida whose life experiences are probably very similar to [that of] your own. In many respects that greater distance between the first tellers of ga Sraagaa sdang and ourselves, makes us both readers. The first part of my telling of ga Sraagaa sdang comes from Sk'a.aaws. This is an ancient town site located along the eastern border of a forested region called Duu Guusd. Duu Guusd is part of Haida Gwaii, an archipelago still held until recently in its colonial embrace as the Queen Charlotte Islands. The other old source of telling is Skedans. This old town is located in the Gwaii Haanas Haida Heritage Site, an area also currently reserved as a Canadian National Park. I have restrained from writing an extensive opinion, instead limiting my retelling to a brief text and illustrations. This should suffice to give the engaged reader a hint of the amazing concepts which ripple through this shamanic tale and remain a substantial element of that dynamic living society of indigenous peoples called Haida." - Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas
"This Haida manga intriguingly blends graphic storytelling with a fine art sensibility… Yahgulanaas communicates via an arresting series of images evoking the traditional visual arts of the Haida people." —Publisher's Weekly

Helen Betty Osborne, known as Betty to her closest friends and family, dreamed of becoming a teacher. She left her home to attend residential school and high school in a small town in Manitoba. On November 13, 1971, Betty was abducted and brutally murdered by four young men. Initially met with silence and indifference, her tragic murder resonates loudly today. Betty represents one of almost 1,200 Indigenous women in Canada who have been murdered or gone missing.
This book is a true account. Content may be disturbing to some readers.
"The ragged edges of the temperate rainforest reach far out onto an island in the western seas. It is a place where one chooses to go ahead or turn back…"
In a prequel to the award-winning Red: A Haida Manga, acclaimed artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas blends Asian manhwa/manga with the Haida artistic and oral tradition in another stunning hand-painted volume.
In a small near-future community perched between the ocean and the northern temperate rainforest, a series of disasters is taking a heavy toll. It is early fall and a fuel spill has contaminated the marine foods the village was preparing to harvest. As food supplies dwindle, a small group decides to make a late-season expedition to search for sea lions. Surprised by a ferocious storm, they abandon one man, Carpe, on an isolated rock at sea. After ten days they are finally able to return, but he has vanished. The story follows Carpe's encounters with the Lord of the Rock, who demands retribution for Carpe's role in the hunt, and Carpe's fate in the half-life between human and animal, life and death.

Saving the earth from evil pioneers and cyborg sasquatches.
Ts'ür'i and Aghay are the Dakwäkãda Warriors protecting Nän from their nemesis Cyber Nà'ÄŻ and Space Kwäday Dän. Flying in their spaceship, can they prevent the Sha being stolen from Cyber Nà'ÄŻ and Space Kwäday Dän?!
As a young person growing up in Haines Junction YT, artist Cole Pauls performed in a traditional song and dance group called the Dakwäkãda Dancers. During that time, Pauls encountered the ancestral language of Southern Tutchone. Driven by a desire to help revitalize the language, he created Dakwäkãda Warriors, a bilingual comic about two earth protectors saving the world from evil pioneers and cyborg sasquatches.
Pauls' Elders supported him throughout the creation process by offering consultation and translation. The resulting work is a whimsical young adult graphic novel that offers an accessible allegory of colonialism. Dakwäkãda Warriors also includes a behind-the-scenes view into the making of the comic and a full-colour insert featuring character illustrations by guest Indigenous Canadian artists.
From the publisher, an interview with Cole Pauls:
1. Why did you decide to create this comic?
I wanted to create a sense of identity and strength for the youth from my hometown and the Yukon. To be portrayed in a heroic but also realistic way, where culture is power and the community is stronger because of that. I made Dakwäkãda Warriors to keep Southern Tutchone language and culture alive.
2. What do you hope your work will bring to the Canadian comics canon?
A proper portrayal of Yukon Indigenous culture, we don't live in igloos, ya know!! I want to show the world what Southern Tutchone culture really is and how strong Indigenous culture can be when properly portrayed by someone who lives and practices it.

Language revitalization in an allegory of colonialization.
Artist Cole Pauls wanted to reclaim the Southern Tutchone language he had learned as a youth while performing in a traditional song and dance group. So, he created a comic about two Earth Protectors saving the Earth from evil pioneers and cyborg sasquatches. But he also went to his elders and asked them to translate his comic into the two dialects of Southern Tutchone. The resulting work is an allegory of colonialization done in an accessible format, a whimsical young adult graphic novel which helps to revitalize language. Pauls includes a "making of" postscript to give context to the project, and invites guest Indigenous Canadian artists to provide "pin-ups" of his characters.

Art has always played a significant role in the history of the labour movement. Songs, stories, poems, pamphlets, and comics, have inspired workers to take action against greedy bosses and helped shape ideas of a more equal world. They also help fan the flames of discontent. Radical social change doesn't come without radical art. It would be impossible to think about labour unrest without its iconic songs like "Solidarity Forever" or its cartoons like Ernest Riebe's creation, Mr. Block.
In this vein, The Graphic History Collective has created an illustrated chronicle of the strike—the organized withdrawal of labour power—in Canada. For centuries, workers in Canada—Indigenous and non-Indigenous, union and non-union, men and women—have used the strike as a powerful tool, not just for better wages, but also for growing working-class power. This lively comic book will inspire new generations to learn more about labour and working-class history and the power of solidarity.
"There are so many exciting and vitally important stories from the history of social movements, and the most engaging way to tell those stories is through art, in its various forms. The Graphic History Collective is brilliantly doing just that." - David Rovics, singer, songwriter, activists
"The Graphic History Collective shows us that art can inspire hope for radical social change" - Noam Chomsky
"Brilliant in narrative power and artistic expression, Direct Action Gets the Goods offers more proof of the Graphic History Collective's prowess with the graphic form. Magnificent!" - Paul Buhle
"Direct Action Gets the Goods is a brilliant and essential resource. Through well-researched history and powerful graphic art, it shows how the strike is key to revolutionary unionism and social movement solidarity. This book will inspire future generations to fight and win against bosses and capitalism." – Harsha Walia, community organizer and author of Undoing Border Imperialism
Educator Information
The Graphic History Collective is made up of activists, artists, writers, and researchers passionate about comics, history, and social change. They produce alternative histories - people's histories - in an accessible format to help people understand the historical roots of contemporary social issues.

Authenticity and Content Note: This work contains contributions from Gord Hill, a member of the Kwakwaka'wakw Nation. Indigenous content and perspectives, therefore, may be included but are not the sole focus of the work.
Looking for a little mischief after finding an old flare gun, Ron and Ben suddenly find themselves in trouble when the local gas bar on Agamiing Reserve goes up in flames, and they are wrongly accused of arson by the sheriff's son. As the investigation goes forward, community attitudes are revealed, and the truth slowly comes to light.
"Storm's story is a very thoughtful look at the two systems of justice. The Native boys in the White system, being interrogated is a stark contrast to what the White boy experiences in the Native system of justice. It points to the path Storm is looking for: how a community can heal, rather than how it could punish and inflict more harm on people... I recommend Jen Storm's Fire Starters. There's a lot to study, think about, and of course, talk about." -- Debbie Reese, American Indians in Children's Literature
"Fire Starters reminds readers of the many perspectives involved in reconciliation. The story moves beyond Ron and Ben's experiences as aboriginal teens poorly treated by a white community to include the experiences of law enforcement officers, family members, and even the arsonists themselves. Complementing the fast-paced plot, Henderson's artwork is drawn from a wide variety of perspectives, and Yaciuk's moody colours suit the rising tension experienced by all characters. A cautionary tale about the consequences of prejudice and racism, Fire Starters is a valuable addition to conversations about the importance of reconciliation and the power of the truth." -- Roseanne Gauthier, National Reading Campaign
Educator & Series Information
Recommended Grades: 6-9
Fire Starters is one book in The Debwe Series. This series features exceptional Indigenous writing from across Canada.
Combining graphic fiction and non-fiction, this young adult graphic novel serves as a window into one of the unique dangers of being an Indigenous teen in Canada today. The text of the book is derived from excerpts of a letter written to the Winnipeg Chief of Police by fourteen-year-old Brianna Jonnie — a letter that went viral and was also the basis of a documentary film. In her letter, Jonnie calls out the authorities for neglecting to immediately investigate missing Indigenous people and urges them to "not treat me as the Indigenous person I am proud to be," if she were to be reported missing.
Indigenous artist Neal Shannacappo provides the artwork for the book. Through his illustrations he imagines a situation in which a young Indigenous woman does disappear, portraying the reaction of her community, her friends, the police and media.
An author's note at the end of the book provides context for young readers about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada.

The bestselling graphic novel on Canada's infamous folk hero is back in a paperback edition with a new cover by Chester Brown. Louis Riel: A Comic-Strip Biography is the book that launched the graphic novel medium in Canada. Brown received the Harvey Award for best writing and best graphic novel, and made several Best of the Year lists. Publishers Weekly hailed the book as a "contender for best graphic novel ever."
Chester Brown reinvents the comic book medium to create a historical biography on Louis Riel. He crafts a compelling and meticulous retelling of the charismatic 19th-century MĂ©tis leader, regarded by some as a martyr and by others as a treacherous murderer. Canadian history at its best, Louis Riel: A Comic-Strip Biography is entertaining and accessible for all ages.
"If you love to read a gripping story, if you are awed by the talent of an artist, then look no further: Chester Brown's Louis Riel is comix history in the making, and with it, history never looked so good." -Globe and Mail

Missing the Forest for the Threes
You've heard the saying that bad news comes in threes. The bad news could take the form of rejection, failure, even death as in "three on a match." Some people look for it. For instance, few want to hear of … Continue reading Missing the Forest for the Threes

The actress and author of a thriller, "Bonfire," can't read on the set of "Jessica Jones": "It is crazy exciting! But it's not a reading environment."
What books are on your nightstand?
I have a huge pile next to my bed and dream of days when I just pick up each one and devour them! I have a signed copy of "The Lying Game," by Ruth Ware, which is next on deck. Underneath are copies of "The Sirens of Titan," by Kurt Vonnegut, and "In Cold Blood," by Truman Capote, both of which have long been on my list. I am also currently leafing through a stack of meditation books that I bought at a meditation studio I like. "Wherever You Go, There You Are," "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones."
What's the last great book you read?
I have read a few great novels recently, but the one that stuck with me the most over the last few months is "Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine," by Gail Honeyman. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and the entire time I beamed with joy at the beauty of this story. I fell in love with Eleanor and never wanted the book to end. I wanted so badly to keep following her journey.
I also loved "Unshakeable," by Tony Robbins. Understanding the economy, the stock market and the world of investing is foreign to me, but Tony makes it so digestible and empowering. I really appreciate his focus on finding confidence in your own ideas and the importance of building forward momentum. I have such a crush on Tony Robbins and his passion, empathy and sheer talent.
What do you read for solace? For escape? For sheer pleasure?
For solace, I love a book that opens up my perspective. The other day I realized I buy a new copy of "The Untethered Soul," by Michael A. Singer, in every city I visit. I don't know if it's because I forget that I own it already or I just need it again when I'm on the road and missing home. I own at least four copies. I also love Singer's audio lectures, even just to put on in the background. For escape, I love popcorn thrillers that you can read in a weekend, like "Sharp Objects" and "The Woman in Cabin 10." For pure pleasure, I love a good rock 'n' roll/rock bio or oral history. I recently read "Meet Me in the Bathroom," by Lizzy Goodman, which follows the Strokes, Interpol and the whole early 2000s NYC rock scene. It is so much fun to relive that incredible time in music, particularly because I was there for more than I should admit.
What are your favorite books about acting or about Hollywood?
My favorite acting books are Stella Adler's "The Art of Acting" and "Sanford Meisner on Acting."
Which writers – novelists, playwrights, critics, journalists, poets – working today do you admire most?
Right now, I admire the writers on "Jessica Jones." Melissa Rosenberg and her team, the level of material they write for me, and their imaginations so consistently blow me away. They have my full attention and admiration right now.
How do you like to read? Paper or electronic? One book at a time or simultaneously? Morning or night? Do you like reading on set?
I can't read on set because I have too much to stay focused on. Often you hear about people on set living this "hurry up and wait" kind of work life. But for me, specifically on "Jessica Jones," it's more like "hurry up and hurry up." I get to be fully immersed all day every day and it is crazy exciting! But it's not a reading environment. On set, if anything, I'll knit because it's mechanical, a meditation and doesn't pull focus from the work. In terms of how I read, I am hard copy all the way. I love having a book in my hand. There are already so many digital distractions in our lives and for me, reading on a screen and getting alerts and text messages totally ruins it. I like to read in the park, or I like to get in bed early, get cozy and get lost in a good book.
What book might people be surprised to find on your shelves?
Stacks of knitting and crochet books.
What's the best book you've ever received as a gift?
"Don't Forget to Sing in the Lifeboats," by Kathryn and Ross Petras. A friend gave it to me and it has been kind of life-changing. It is this little book of inspirational quotes and wisdom, and it's such a pick-me-up to read a few pages a day. I've since given it as a gift a few times and I often post pages from it on my Instagram stories. People seem to love it!
What kind of reader were you as a child? Which childhood books and authors stick with you most?
I wasn't a big reader as a kid and I often think about that. I was told that I had poor reading comprehension, but now I recognize that is not true at all. I just wasn't interested in what I was given and I had too wild an imagination to sit still long enough unless it was something I really loved. I didn't fit in the box. So, I think it's important to encourage kids to read whatever interests them, outside of what's on a curriculum.
You're organizing a literary dinner party. Which three writers, dead or alive, do you invite?
Gillian Flynn, Hemingway, Stephen King. I feel like no one would know what to say to each other, but how fun?
Who would you want to write your life story?
I think I would feel more comfortable writing my own.

Editor–It seems ironic that the issue of 14 December contained both an editorial on the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural treatment1 and a study of rehabilitation after myocardial infarction with negative results.2 Although two possible explanations are dealt with in Richard Mayou's editorial (that many of the control group had good outcomes anyway and that the treatment arm offered a uniform treatment for a heterogeneous range of complaints),3 there are other important issues that merit discussion.
DA Jones and RR West set out a number of goals (provide information, increase awareness of stress, teach relaxation, improve stress management, promote positive adjustment to illness, and increase confidence) with the presumed hypothesis that attainment of these aims would reduce morbidity and mortality. Was the lack of effect due to failure to teach a programme that could be utilised by the treated patients, or are psychological techniques ineffective in reducing mortality? The lack of any change in anxiety (albeit measured by an odd choice of instrument) would suggest the former.
Psychological therapies are very different from, say, giving a drug because the exact components and quality are not specified by the …
