Life is on the wire. The rest is just waiting.
-- Papa Wallenda.
"Try getting a medical plan. Try finding life insurance. You can't in this line of work. You're a smart kid. Get a degree in finance and make some real money."
This is where I can stop listening,
I thought. He always started different and ended up the same, going on about my ear infections and dizzy spells: "No room for that on the wire."
I had the feelings, and I knew what I knew, but I didn't have the logic and the knowledge to win the argument. Not that he would have heard. His mind was made up. Kids have to listen. Adults only have to pretend. But I was through. Pop ignored me, so I'd ignore him. I waited -- he always ended with a question he expected me to answer.
I heard the inflection, and he stopped, and I said, "I don't care. I know I can do it."
He said, "I don't want you walking on fences on the way to school any more. I don't want you on the two-foot wire, either. Understand?"
I shrugged. I wasn't going to stop. He always said, "Dreams come true in your muscles, not your head. Every day you work, you get closer. Dreams don't happen, you build them, the way you build a house."
So that was what I did. I imagined blowing out the candles on a birthday cake, and the next day, I stopped walking on the two-foot wire and started on the wire that was ten feet up. Pop beat me, but I kept doing it, when I wasn't too sore from the big red belt he laid across my ass. Finally he said, "Suit yourself, but you're never going to be in the act." Then he ignored me, like nothing was going on, until the season started. I think he would have let me come, if my grades hadn't been so bad. Instead he made me stay home.
"I'll run away and join a different circus," I said.
At least he didn't laugh. "They'll send you back," he said. "Everybody knows who you are. Besides, you don't have to be in the act to be part of the family. We need riggers and gofers. Forget about the wire."
They didn't say goodbye. That's how circus people are: they just leave. See you later. No long farewells.
After they left I was all by myself. Sixteen years old and the only human being on the forty-acre compound. I was bored, especially after school let out. I spent my time practicing on the wire, and making up the Math and English classes I'd failed, and painting the houses. Mom got back for a week around the Fourth of July, and gave me a pair of elkskin slippers that fit perfectly. I wore them on the wire, and she watched while I walked.
"You are your father's son," she said. "You have his stubborn will. I'm afraid I'm encouraging something hopeless."
I didn't know how lonely I was until she showed up. Cooking for myself (or what passed for cooking), eating by myself, watching television by myself. Trying to find enough to keep busy. And all the time, the silence and the empty rooms and the bare walls. Wondering what everyone was doing. Going for days without anyone to talk to. Now Mom was there, and she told me about the couple from Russia and the argument they'd had with Pop, and that they'd gone home, furious and exclaiming about the "greatness of soul" in the Russian circus, about its "purity". She thought they were simply homesick and unable to adjust. She told me that my sister had decided to go back to college. That my brother had a serious girlfriend. That Uncle Tim was getting arthritis and thinking about quitting. We spent the evenings sitting on the porch, sitting close to the mosquito coils and listening to the sounds of the palmetto scrub waving in the wind, and the cries of the nighthawks, while we talked. Then she left.
I moved up to the thirty-foot wire. Pop had destroyed my small pole, and I had to use the thirty-five pounders. They were too heavy for me, so every day when I finished practicing I would hold one for longer periods of time, strengthening myself so the pole would feel lighter on the wire. When it did start feeling lighter, walking was less effort, almost too easy. I stopped using the pole for the first ten minutes when I practiced. I walked the five-eighths inch wire in my slippers, using only my hands for balance.
When they came home in winter, I hid the slippers at first. But everybody acted like Pop. They all ignored me. So I started wearing the slippers again, taunting them. They didn't rise to the bait.
I worked harder in school and my grades were better, and when the season got near he said I could come. I didn't even have to wait until the end of the school year. I was going to work as a rigger.
When you're a kid, no one asks what you do, or where you're from. They ask how old you are, and what you want to be when you grow up. The circus was different; kids were accepted as working members of the family and the circus. But I was second-class. I knew that Pop meant what he said. I was never going to be part of the act. Everyone else agreed with him. Mom had given up fighting for me. She was all alone, and she wasn't going to win.
My first memory was playing in the sand in the back yard, under the wire, my parents and my uncles and aunts and the other walkers practising. I listened to them talk. I watched the way they tied their slippers. I saw how they held their poles, and what the poles were made of. Later I watched my brother and sister, first on the two-foot wire with small poles, then on the ten-foot wire. Now they were in the act. If it hadn't been for my dizziness, I would have been in the act too. I was the only one who couldn't be part of the family business, the business we'd been in for three generations. I hadn't had a dizzy spell in six months, but Pop didn't care. His only response whenever I said this was to ask whether I'd finished some job, or to tell me to take care of some other job. He ignored everything I said.
Rigging took about half my time. Mom and Pop were busier than me, but Mom taught me lessons so I would finish the school year. We did two shows a day and drove from city to city at night. Mom repaired costumes and cooked and all the rest of the things she had to do; Pop had all the business and the books to take care of, and the publicity, and dealing with the circus management and all the people who worked for us. I didn't even have a chance to practice -- at home, the wires were in the back yard, but here they were in the tent. I started hanging with the animal guys, finding out how they handled the elephants and the bears. I liked the tigers best. Soon I was skimping on my real chores and Pop was mad at me again.
There are things kids absorb from the air around them, things implied in what their parents say. Certain bits of knowledge are there from the beginning. I'd always known that there was a hierarchy in our world, with the wire walkers and trapeze artists at the top. The animal people were way down the scale. I didn't care about that. I was already at the bottom. These people let me help. They accepted me. They taught me their craft.
Al, the tiger guy, made it clear that even if I liked the cats, they didn't like me.
"You know what you are to them? Dinner." He threw a chunk of meat in Natasha's cage. She was a big Siberian. "That's how she'll treat you, if you give her the chance. See how strong she is?"
I was impressed. Her canines must have been four inches long.
"See this?" He showed me a claw that he wore on a cord around his neck. "If she hooks your clothes with
one claw
," he said, "She's got you." He shook the claw, for emphasis. "You know why?"
"Because every claw works by itself. She can push them out and pull them in separately." He walked his fingers up my arm to my shoulder. "That's what she'll do, and she'll pull you in. She can get you with a paw through that slot and kill you. One mistake and you're dead." He went on like that for a while, saying that you could never turn your back on a tiger.
This was more interesting than wire walking. If you did everything right on the wire, and none of you made any mistakes, you got across to the other platform and took your bows. Show over. If your training was good, you survived. But you couldn't control the tigers that way. They had wills, too. You had to dominate them. You had to intimidate them, and fool them.
"Can I ride with you tonight?" I asked.
His eyebrows lifted. "Sure. Ask your parents first."
I knocked on the door of his trailer after the second show, my sleeping bag under my arm. There wasn't any answer, so I sat down and waited. I heard noises inside, so I knocked a second time, but there still wasn't any answer. I sat on the step and waited again.
Somebody bumped me with the door. I looked over my shoulder and saw a girl, about college age. I moved out of the way.
"Sorry," she said. She stepped down next to me. "I didn't hurt you, did I?"
She said, "See you," to Al and walked off across the grass. She was pretty, without being attractive. Her hair was spiky and many-colored. She had a confident walk.
Al was standing in the door, wearing nothing but boxer shorts. He was smoking a cigarette. "Come in," he said.
I stared at his legs. They were a mass of scar tissue, covered with punctures, and uneven lumpy places that had been sewn back together, and parallel slashes. The scars ran from the middle of his thighs to his ankles.
He glanced down at his legs. "Oh, yeah," he said. "Sometimes I forget about those."
I wanted to ask how they'd happened, but couldn't.
"I been hit a few times. Shows you what a tiger can do." He turned around and showed me a big gouge in his shoulder blade. Then he nodded in the direction of the girl, now almost out of sight. "
thought they were interesting. But they're all from mistakes. I'm not proud. I'd get rid of them if I could. The thing about scar tissue is, you can never touch your toes again. Your skin would rip." He stood and smoked his cigarette. He seemed to have forgotten me. I fidgeted.
"Come on in. What are you waiting for?" He held the door for me.
His trailer was built onto the front of the flatbed where he hauled the cages. The smell was rank. Big cats have a stink that gets into everything nearby, and the trailer was permeated with the stench. I sniffed.
"You get used to it," he said. "Are you hungry?"
We ate whitebread peanut butter sandwiches and potato chips and drank R.C. colas, sitting at the table. I wanted to ask him more about the tigers, but he didn't seem in a mood to talk. I was too intimated to speak. Al was the coolest guy I'd ever known.
"Did you tell your parents you're riding with me?" We'd finished our sandwiches. He was reaching for the bottom of the bag, to get the last broken chips.
"If you're lying, you'll never ride with me again. What did they say?"
" 'Okay. Have fun.' "
"Hunh," he snorted. He crumpled the bag and threw it onto an overflowing wastebasket. It fell off, onto the floor. He ignored it. "We better go. Iowa's a long way from here. Let me get my clothes on."
I woke up alone in the middle of the night, on the passenger side of the cab. The engine was idling. We were stopped by some diesel pumps, under the harsh light of those fluorescent lamps they mount under the metal roofs that keep you dry when you're pumping gas in the rain. Traffic buzzed by a hundred yards away. I rolled down the window and saw Al.
"Hey, you woke up," he said. "If you need to take a leak, now's the time. This is going to run for a while."
He bought snacks at the counter while I went to the bathroom, then we walked back to the truck, eating Slim Jims. The tigers were all asleep in their cages. I watched them while the pump ticked away. When it finally stopped I looked at the total. Four hundred twenty-five dollars.
Al paid and helped me up into the cab. "Sorry, I don't have a sleeper. You can go back in the trailer, but you'll have to stay there. You can't get out while the truck is moving."
"No thanks. I'm not sleepy now."
I was used to semi trucks, mostly Macks and Freightliners, but this was a Kenworth, so things looked a little different. I'd been too excited to notice earlier. We got started, slowly, the way you always do in the big rigs, shifting all those gears. When we were out on the highway and up to speed again, Al started talking about the cats.
"You have to know them by name. They know who they are, and you always always have to get the name right, so you call the one you want. You don't want to call the name of a tiger that's in back of you instead of in front. She might eat you. No mistakes. You gotta know them from the front and the back and both sides. Hey, did you study the Romans in school? Did your teacher tell you about what they called the Circus?"
"It was different."
"Right. Not like ours. You know how they let the lions eat the Christians?" I nodded. He said, "Sometimes they put a lion and a tiger together and let them fight it out. You know who usually won?"
"The tiger."
"You know why?"
"Because they're bigger."
"That's not all. Tigers live alone. They hunt alone. So they have to be smarter and tougher and faster. Lions hunt in groups. They don't know what to do by themselves. They're afraid. They're not as tough." He lit a cigarette. "I like tigers. They're strong and they're smart. But they scare the shit out of me. They don't love anybody or anything. All they want to do is eat and sleep and roam around." He jerked his thumb over his shoulder. "You put a cat in a cage, that's like putting a man in a straitjacket." He thought for a minute. "But other than that, they've got a good life. No one's going to kill them and grind up their bones to help some old Chinese guy get a hard on." He flicked the cigarette ash out the window. "Fucking Chinks. You can't bring tigers into the country because they're hunting them to extinction. It's a good thing we can breed them." He rolled up his window and turned the air conditioning on. "So tell me about the high wire."
"You have to practice a lot."
"Are you scared?"
"Yes, but Pop says if you're not scared, you shouldn't be up there."
"Yeah. It's the same with tigers. Do you dream about the wire?"
"I used to dream about the tigers all the time. For a long time. I used to almost shit my pants, when I'd go in the cage with them. I'd dream about them and wake up screaming. You ever do that?"
"Good. You should have stuck to the high wire. Sounds like you were already used to it."
"You can't stick to it if your Dad won't let you do it in the first place."
We got to the little town in the middle of the night. It was somewhere in Iowa -- Cedar Rapids, maybe. We found the fairgrounds and he pulled the truck in and parked it. He slept in the trailer, but I unrolled my sleeping bag on the ground in front of the truck. The smell in the trailer was too strong. At least outside there was some breeze, and the cab blocked some of the smell.
I kept helping the family with chores, especially the rigging. And I had school lessons whenever Mom could spare the time. But I spent my free time with Al, learning everything I could about the cats. I learned that tigers like water; that the Siberians could eat partly frozen meat, but the Bengals would usually throw it up; I learned that all the cats were females, and they came into heat every 28 days, most of them about the same time -- "Like girls in a college dorm," Al said, "Except a lot crankier, and when they bite your head off, they do it for real"; and I learned that tigers would rather not be near each other, which makes it hard to work them together.
Al made a tiger whisker into a ring for my finger, and used glue to keep the weave from unravelling. I wore it on a leather thong around my neck, so my parents wouldn't see. But my mother did, one day when I was changing my shirt and she happened to walk by.
"What's this?" she asked. "I haven't seen it."
"A whisker."
She stared at it for a long time, holding it in her palm. "Maybe that's what you should do."
"It's my good luck charm. I always wear -- I'm going to wear it -- it's for luck." I couldn't say "on the wire".
The season ended not long after that. Al spent his winters in Texas and we lived in Florida. So I didn't see any tigers until the season started up again. The next circus we were in, the lion tamer was a completely different kind of guy. First off, he had lions. Also, he was an alcoholic, with a bad temper, and he didn't like "kids" hanging around, although I'd been shaving for several years by this time. I called Al on his cell phone and asked if I could travel with him. He said "Fine by me". My uncle Tim drove me over a couple of weeks later, when the two circuses were within a few hundred miles of each other.
I kept a notebook where I wrote down the things Al told me, and the things I discovered for myself about the cats. I watched them, especially during the act, and I talked to Al and asked him questions afterward. I started practicing with the whip, until I could knock the caps off beer bottles without knocking the bottles over. The trick is, you take the cap off first, then put it back on loosely. You're practicing for accuracy, not for power. You don't want to hit a tiger, you just want to pop the whip close enough to get their attention.
Al didn't have any backup, so we bought a couple of fire extinguishers and kept them next to the door of the cage during the act. Tigers can't stand the freezing CO2 in their eyes and on their muzzles. I would stand out of the way, but close enough to intervene if Al needed help.
I thought it would be Natasha who'd jump him, because she was the most aggressive, but it was Kali. You have to keep your eye on every tiger, switching from one to the next to let them know you're paying attention. But one night we were playing a little arena in Minnesota and there was a power failure. Al backed up against the bars of the cage and waited. That was a mistake -- he shouldn't have backed up. It showed fear.
The only light was from the exit signs, and a little bit of evening through the roof vents. Everything was vague in the gloom. I could see just enough to stumble my way to the cage and find one of the extinguishers.
Kali jumped. Al used the whip, but his aim was off because of the darkness. We saw later, looking at her ear, that he must have hit her there. It would have made her mad. She had his knee in her mouth and he was down and she was shaking him before I could spray her. God she was quick. Al dropped the whip and punched her in the face, and that slowed her down. Otherwise, she would have opened his chest -- she'd raised her paw. The punch surprised her and stopped her for a second, and I caught her smack in the face with the cold foam. She screamed and turned around.
I opened the cage and a couple of the clowns pulled him out. I stood there, ready to pull the trigger again, until he was safe. It seemed like it was all taking forever, but the ringmaster told me later that from the time Kali grabbed Al's knee to the time I closed the cage was less than two minutes. The thing that worried me most was the time the cage door was open. I was afraid they would all charge and get out. All the others had risen to their feet and were watching Kali and me. They knew what was up, and they were like, "Deal me in", but they don't hunt the way lions do, they're solitary, and they're afraid of each other, and I think that's what saved us from a melee. But you can never tell when they're going to jump. They don't warn you; they just launch themselves, and the next thing you know, you're lucky if you're not lying there shredded, with an artery or two pumping your life up into the air. As soon as the clowns had Al out, I stepped back and slammed the door and dogged it. I told the paramedics I was his son, and they let me ride to the hospital with him, but I had to wait outside while they did the surgery.
He can't walk yet. He'll need some reconstructive surgery, and a lot of therapy, and he'll probably limp till the day he dies. He'll never run again. The kneecap is completely gone. They'll have to put an artificial one in, and something to tie it in place; the ligaments are gone, too. For the time being, he gets around with a crutch.
Of course he was out for the rest of the season. He hired a trucker before he flew back to Texas. When the guy showed up and got a look at the cats, he quit on the spot. Didn't have the nerve for it. "I'm not feeding those things," he said. "I'm not getting anywhere near them." I threatened to have his license yanked for breach of contract -- probably an empty threat, but it was all I could think of. He said "Fuck you," and left.
One of the clowns offered to drive. I rode along, and started living with Al.
He's quitting. The plan is for me and him to swap jobs. He's going to train me, and then he'll be the handler and do all the chores. I'm working on my long-haul license so I can drive the truck if his knee isn't up to it.
I went in the cage for the first time yesterday. It was just like he said, much scarier than the wire. Those are big animals, and built to kill. He didn't tell me until after I finished putting them through their routine that the first time is alway safe; tigers will let anyone put them through their act once. It's the second time when it starts getting dangerous. Now I'm more afraid than before. But Al will be right there watching, and backing me up.
I still haven't hit my full height, so I'm lifting weights to make myself wider and thicker. I have to be in control of the cats, and being small doesn't help.
I'm looking forward to this, as soon as I get the dreams under control. I mean the night dreams, not the dreams of desire. I'm making a career, but the closer I get, the worse my nightmares become.

Secrets can mean several things:
- Areas of a level that are hidden (to some extent). Usually, there is some clue about a secret area, such as an off-color wall that is actually a door. By convention, most levels are designed so that it is not necessary to find any of the secret areas to complete the level. After exiting a level, the percentage of the secret areas found is displayed.
- A special sector type (9), used to calculate the secrets-found percentage displayed at the end of each level. The number of type 9 sectors in the level is the total number of secrets. When a player first enters a type 9 sector, the number of secrets found is incremented by one. A secret (or "hidden") area may be any number of sectors, but for proper operation of the stats will normally contain only one sector with type 9. Some source ports use the type 9 sector to trigger an announcement such as "A SECRET HAS BEEN REVEALED" and to play a sound.
- A linedef flag bit (5). This makes a two-sided linedef appear on the automap in red instead of yellow, that is, just like a single-sided linedef. This is used to hide entrances to secret areas on the automap, but has nothing to do with the calculation of the secrets percentage displayed at the end of each level.

SR20DE to DET Swap Questions and T3 Turbo on SR20?!
Neptune Harrod posted a topic in Nissan Silvia (nissansilvia.com)Doing a Sr20de to sr20det swap soon. Need a few pointers on some things i will need to buy and if there will be any problems that might occur? First of all, would it be easier to when i pull my NA engine out should i take the gearbox with it, or should i just leave it on the chassis and just drop the sr in and bolt it up? Second, am i going to need coils packs to be able to run this car or can i use the spark leads from the distributer? Can i use a T3 turbo from a r33 skyline stock nissan turbo to run this her? (as a low mount) Due to that i don't have enough money for a sr turbo. And my brothers old stocky turbo is gathering dust in a box. Will i need to get her tuned after doing this swap? Due to this will be my daily. Last but not least, can i just run this setup without a bov to make extra zuututuuu? However i will be buying a hks bov when i get some more doe. Atm i have on my shopping list. DET loom, DET Ecu, intercooler (side mount) and piping. Exhaust manifold, dump pipe (welding a r33 dump to fit), turbo oil lines, obviously the SR20DET blacktop out of a 180sx non vct, and possibly the coil packs. Have i got everything? Thanks for reading really need some advice on this, since im doing this swap by myself and a mate.

I used to "race" HR31 and R30's in Okutama and Kaze on my off time. Now I am in Alice SPrings and I happened upon a 68K km 1997 V-spec. I am looking for some parts to get it back to streetable though. I need some S-tune springs or S-tune similarly rated shocks and springs, a stock airbox and snorkel and the specs for 18x10 wheels all around )non-staggered) so I can get rid of these "tuner" 18x10.5 with stretched 265-35r18's on them. I love the look of the Advan T5 wheels but not the stretched tire and rim extending 1com beyond the rubber. David email@example.com

18" Rims with R-Comps for sale
Smitty14 posted a topic in Parts for SaleI have 2 x 18 x 8.5 & 2 x 18 x 9.5" Rims with 265/35 Yokohama Advan A048 R-comp tyres for sale. I had these for my S14 and stuck out slightly on the fronts, but filled the guards nicely on the rear. Would fit R32, R33, R34 Skyline very nicely. Rims are in average condition with small amounts of curb rash. Tyres are just on the indicators, so they plenty of life left in them. I can take photos of all the rims if required so that you can see the condition of them all. $500 ono. Can post interstate if required, but you'll need to pay for postage
Since I upgraded my rotors/pads recently at great expense, but the old parts were working and still had life in them, I figured someone might want to take them off my hands for cheap to install and test their R33 calipers and BMC. I'll take some photos when I remember, however these are the pieces I'm selling: 2x Used OEM R33 GTS-T front rotors 2x Used OEM R33 GTS-T rear rotors 2x Used R33 GTS-T A1RM front pad pair 2x Used R33 GTS-T A1RM rear pad pair Price: $60 pickup the lot Not looking to split it up, since the goal is to clear space. Location: Sydney area Contact: PM me on NS for a phone number/location/time. Reason for sale: For those who are curious about the reason for sale, the front pads would squeal a little on light braking, I never really rated the A1RM's performance, and although I was able to temporarily fix the squealing with a light sand and filing a leading champher, it reached a point at which I said "f**k it" and just replaced everything. Cost me a shitload too, but at least I can lock my wheels with moderate pedal pressure now Please be aware that I had the rotors machined before I fitted the A1RMs and I think they're pretty much at their limit, so don't assume that you'll be able to machine them again. The rear you might get lucky, but no guarantees. Either way, you can't even buy a single set of front brake pads for the price I'm selling it all for, so I think it's a decent deal for anyone looking to get their R33 calipers in and tested on a budget, then upgrade to better parts later on.

Contestants must be 18 years of age or older at the time of registration in order to participate and may not be a resident of any U.S. embargoed or sanctioned country or otherwise be listed on any U.S. denied or barred persons list.
Sponsor shall have the right at any time to require proof of identity and/or eligibility to participate in the Contest. Failure to provide such proof may result in disqualification. All personal and other information requested by and supplied to the Sponsor for the purpose of the Contest must be truthful, complete, accurate, and in no way misleading. The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any contestant should such contestant at any stage supply untruthful, incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading personal details and/or information.
The Contest will be held March 6th - 8th 2013, during the CanSecWest 2013 conference in Vancouver, British Columbia.
This Contest is open to all participants in the CanSecWest 2013 conference, subject to the eligibility requirements above. Contestants may also assign a proxy to participate in the contest on their behalf if they are unable to attend the conference; however, the proxy must be in attendance at the conference and also meet all of the requirements and comply with these Contest Rules. No purchase is required to participate in the Contest.
All contestants must sign up for a Zero Day Initiative ("ZDI") Researcher account in order to participate. Sign up is free and can be completed at https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/portal/register/. Once a contestant is signed up as a ZDI Researcher, the contestant can register for the contest by contacting Sponsor via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com and indicating in which category(ies) the contestant wishes to participate. Contest registration closes at 5:00 p.m. Central Time on March 5, 2013.
HP is offering more than half a million dollars (USD) in cash and prizes during the competition for vulnerabilities and exploitation techniques in the below categories. The first contestant to successfully compromise a selected target will win the prizes for the category. All prizes are in US currency.

It is possible that a category may have no winner. If a category has no winner, Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, choose to use the prize money from that category to offer additional prize(s) in another category that may be equal to or less than the initial prize offering for such category; so, that category may have additional winners.
Winners are not entitled to the monetary difference between the actual prize value and the stated estimated prize value, if any. The estimated prize value is as of the date of printing of these Contest Rules.
Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible participants in a category and ability to meet the requirements of this skills-based contest. Prizes will be distributed within eight (8) weeks after each winner has fulfilled the requirements set out herein.
Prizes must be accepted as awarded and cannot be transferred, assigned, or substituted, or redeemed for cash except at the sole discretion of Sponsor. Any unused portion of a prize will be forfeited and have no cash value. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if a prize (or any portion thereof) cannot be awarded for any reason. Taxes on prizes, if any, are the sole responsibility of the winner.
The Sponsor shall not assume any liability for any lost or misdirected prizes.
If more than one contestant registers for a given category, the order of the contestants will be drawn at random. Based on the contestant order, the first contestant will be given an opportunity to attempt to compromise the selected target. If unsuccessful, the next randomly drawn contestant will be given an opportunity. This will continue until a contestant successfully compromises the target. After a target has been compromised, the contest for that category is over and no other contestants will participate in the contest for that category (unless Sponsor has offered an additional winner option, which would be announced at the conference if applicable). The first contestant to successfully compromise a selected target will win the prize money for that category.
During the contest, a contestant will have a 30-minute time slot in which to complete their attempt (not including time to set up possible network or device prerequisites). A successful attack against these targets must require little or no user interaction and must demonstrate code execution.
The targets will be running on the latest, fully patched version of the Windows 7, 8, and OS X Mountain Lion. All targets will be installed in their default configurations. The vulnerabilities utilized in the attack must be unknown and not previously reported to the vendor. If a sandbox is present, a full sandbox escape is required to win. A given vulnerability may only be used once across all categories.
Upon successful demonstration of the exploit, the contestant will provide Sponsor a fully functioning exploit and all the details of the vulnerability used in the attack. In the case that multiple vulnerabilities were exploited to gain code execution, details about all of the vulnerabilities (memory corruption, infoleaks, escalations, etc.) leveraged and the sequence in which they are used must be provided to receive the prizes. The initial vulnerability utilized in the attack must be in the registered category. Sponsor reserves the right to solely determine what constitutes a successful attack. Vulnerabilities and exploit techniques revealed by contest winners will be disclosed to the affected vendors and the proof of concept will become the property of HP in accordance with the HP ZDI program.
By entering the Contest, contestant releases and holds Sponsor harmless from any and all liability for any injuries, loss, or damage of any kind to the contestant or any other person, including personal injury, death, or property damage, resulting in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, from acceptance, possession, use, or misuse of any prize, participation in the Contest, any breach of the Contest Rules, or in any prize-related activity.

Contestant further agrees to be bound by the decisions of the Sponsor, which shall be final and binding in all respects. The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any contestant found to be: (a) violating the Contest Rules; (b) tampering or attempting to tamper with the Contest; (c) acting in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner, or with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any other person.

Russian curling medallist banned for four years
Russian curling medallist Alexander Krushelnitsky has been banned for four years in a doping case which cost Russia the right to fly its flag at the Winter Olympics closing ceremony this year.
Mr Krushelnitsky won the bronze medal in mixed doubles with his wife Anastasia Bryzgalova — the first medal for Russian athletes at the Pyeongchang Games — but they were stripped of the result after he tested positive for the banned substance meldonium.
Mr Krushelnitsky argued that he was spiked with meldonium by an unnamed third party but the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled the "arguments were not supported by reliable or credible evidence".
CAS didn't give Mr Krushelnitsky any reduction on the standard four-year ban because he "could not establish that his use of meldonium was non-intentional".
Russian athletes were not allowed to compete under their own flag in Pyeongchang as punishment for past doping offenses.
They had to pass extra vetting before the games and competed in neutral uniforms as "Olympic Athletes from Russia".
Mr Krushelnitsky's doping case and another involving a bobsledder helped delay the lifting of the sanction until after the closing ceremony.
Russian Curling Federation president Dmitry Svishchev said Mr Krushelnitsky planned to appeal.
"We disagree utterly with the ruling issued against our athlete and will wholeheartedly continue to support and defend his rights and to demand new investigations in this case both in Russia and abroad," he said in a statement.
Mr Krushelnitsky has 21 days to appeal the ruling.
The other Russian who tested positive in Pyeongchang, bobsled pilot Nadezhda Sergeeva, accepted an eight-month ban in October.
In that case, the International Bobsled and Skeleton Federation accepted her positive test for the heart medication was because she consumed a contaminated product.

Hello Readers!! I hope you had a great weekend! Today, we are going to start with week 3 of the encouragement challenge. This week, we are going to focus on forgiveness. Forgiveness can be defined as, "to stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake."
When you forgive, you are setting yourself free from something that has been holding you back. You can become the person God wants you to be if you hold onto grudges. His Word reminds us of that.
Matthew 6:14-15 "For if you forgive people their wrongdoing, your Heavenly Father will forgive you as well. But if you don't forgive people, your Father will not forgive your wrongdoing."
Proverbs 11:12 "Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks sense, but a man with understanding keeps silent."
Mark 11:25 "And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
Forgiveness is your choice. Will you choose to forgive or will you continue to hold that grudge?
Be a blessing to others,

Many Insiders have lamented that welcome amenities have basically disappeared at Marriott. While not as common as in the past, they aren't completely gone.
On my recent stay at the W in Seattle, I found this lovely assortment of local Seattle goodies in my room. The handwritten note is a bit hard to read in the picture. It says "Welcome back to Seattle! We hope you enjoy your stay here with us at W Seattle."

The latest figures from China showed that its economy slowed to an annual growth rate of 6.4% in the fourth quarter, the worst since the financial crisis, but full-year growth exceeded expectations at 6.6%.
The news follows the announcement of a large-scale stimulus programme in China to help avert a slowdown, although a breakthrough in trade talks with the US is still much-needed and apparently some way off.
Also on Monday the International Monetary Fund (IMF) cut its forecast for the global growth for the second time in three months on Monday, predicting it will grow at the weakest pace in three years this year and warning that trade tensions present further downside risks. It blamed weaker demand across Europe and volatility in financial markets. It now predicts global growth of 3.5% this year, down from the 3.7% forecast in October. It then cited risks such as a renewed tightening of financial conditions, a "no deal" Brexit and a deeper-than-anticipated slowdown in China.
Positive news from the UK this week as data showed employment hitting its highest level on record at the end of 2018, with pay also growing at the fastest pace for a decade. Regular pay excluding bonuses rose by an annualised 3.3% in the three months to November, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). When including bonuses, pay grew by 3.4 per cent, the most rapid growth since 2008. Thanks to lower inflation regular pay is now up 1.1 per cent in real terms i.e. once inflation is taken into account.
The unemployment rate over the period matched its previous low of 4% and the employment rate rose to 75.8%, the highest since records began in 1971. Encouragingly, full-time work accounted for most of the rise in employment.
The data jars with reports of a slowdown in the economy and businesses being reluctant to invest because of Brexit uncertainty. In addition, an increase in the number of unfilled vacancies suggests that wage inflation could continue to rise.
Clashing with the good news on wages, sentiment in the UK manufacturing sector fell sharply in January because of uncertainty over Brexit, according to the latest industrial trends survey from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).
The CBI's monthly gauge of industrial orders fell to -1 this month from +8 in December, below expectations of +5.
The gauge of manufacturing expectations declined to -23 in the three months to January from -16 in the three months to October, marking its lowest level since July 2016. Meanwhile, optimism about exports for the year ahead fell at the fastest pace since 2009. Manufacturing output grew at an above-average rate in the three months to January. Total orders were flat, however, with domestic orders steady and export orders up only slightly from a drop in October.

807/235 CIPC Application and Processing Potatoes
Contractor :
Aim: To provide data indicating the means by which CIPC can be applied with minimal effect on processing quality.
Previous AHDB Potatoes funded research showed that all common UK fogging equipment generates ethylene. It is a combustion by-product (rather than any component of the CIPC formulation) and levels are sufficient to have a deleterious effect on processing quality. This information lead to the development of an altered store management regime to reduce the time of exposure of crops to ethylene after CIPC application.
Further work has now been carried out to investigate additional options for reducing the impact of fogging on processing quality. This has included the use of alternative fuel sources, such as methanol and LPG, and the modification of existing fogging equipment to include a catalytic conversion system. In experimental scale treatments, a fogger fitted with a CAT system resulted in lower ethylene levels and improved processing quality compared to a standard fogger.
The potential for using an ethylene blocker, which limits plant responses to ethylene, to reduce the deleterious effects on fry colour was also tested. The results suggested that regular re-treatment may be required, making the approach unlikely to be cost effective.
Options for CIPC application using controlled release technology were also evaluated. This involves the use of CIPC vapour as a sprout suppressant. Work carried out during the first two years of the project indicated that CIPC vapour can inhibit sprout growth under the right conditions. Subsequent work investigated different materials, to identify those that had good CIPC loading and release properties and might be used to provide a source of CIPC vapour in stores. The results from the work have been developed further in project R288.
The final report on work carried out during the project is provided below. There is also a report on two trials using a thermal fogger fitted with a CAT-kit modification.

Months ago I started to trade bitcoin with Bitcoin Evolution because I wanted to get into the cryptocurrency craze that my friends were doing. They traded all over the place in different currencies, from bitcoin to litecoin and even dogecoin. I don't know who would want to name a currency after a dog meme, but I guess if people are willing to buy it, then it doesn't matter. While it sounds nice to trade in all of those different currencies, I decided to stick bitcoin. I wanted my trading experience to be simple and effective, rather than cluttered and full of mistakes.
My friends often have trouble keeping track of all of the currencies that they're trading in and they sometimes miss out on some good trades that they could have made. It's kind of like trying to spin a lot of plates at once. Continue Reading "Sometimes It's Best to Focus on One"

Are You Growing Your Channel Partners through Symbiotic Relationships?
By: Chris Gosline
As a sales leader, you are always looking for the most optimal route to your customers. When designed & executed correctly, channel partners provide your business an incredible amount of leverage. Correctly managed channel partners can help you expand into new geographies, break into new industries or customer segments, and cover fragmented marketplaces. Conversely, an ill-managed program will result in decreased margins, channel conflict, confuse your customers, and put your business in jeopardy.
Download the Partner Prioritization Tool. This tool helps evaluate channel partners based on objective metrics, sets the foundation for continued measurement, and can be used to hold joint-strategy sessions with partners.
In order to understand the available options, we're going to start with a brief overview of the more popular types of channel partners. It is important to understand the different business models of each partner type to understand how much influence you will have in the relationship.
Partners that make more margin on services sold on top of your product care less about the actual product. Resellers that don't provide services will be more reliant on your product to differentiate in the market. Each type serves a slightly different market and provides you with coverage to more end customers (click here for additional information/other types of channel partners):
Managing the many routes to the customer is a complicated endeavor, for the remainder of this article we are going to focus on the most common types; Value-Added Resellers & Resellers / Distributors.
A couple key points to consider while creating your channel partner program:
Develop Your Channel Program from the Viewpoint of Your Channel Partners
In other words, think of your channel partners similar to how you think of your own sales reps. What will they need to know about your product, what behaviors do you want to drive, and how will you hold them accountable to agreed upon objectives?
Not All Your Partners Are Created Equal
In order to properly motivate your channel partners and make the most use of your limited time, it is important to prioritize your channel partners (and example prioritization tool can be found here).
Common partner segmentation programs are labeled in a similar manner as hotel & airline affinity programs; Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Member. Creating tiers not only provides incentives to sell more, it serves to protect your top partners.
Programs vary across companies and industries, but the most common benefits include:
Illustration of Potential Benefits by Tier:
Prioritizing your partners and providing the requisite benefits not only helps you manage your time effectively, but the tiered benefits structure motivates partner to grow with you!
Why Can't You Afford to Neglect Your Channel Partners?
In today's environment your competitors will always be trying to reach your customers. Very few (if any) companies have the scale to reach all customers & prospects with their direct sales teams (nor should they). Many end customers even prefer to buy through a trusted channel partner vs purchasing directly. Indirect channel partners fill this gap, enabling you to effectively & efficiently reach previously inaccessible segments of your market.

Do you have fond memories of Bugs Bunny chasing Elmer Fudd around an opera house, or anywhere else? If so, you'll probably enjoy Boston Lyric Opera's "Barber of Seville." The story is simple, at its heart a commedia dell'arte stock plot in which young lovers and a tricksy servant outwit a rich old jerk, and the new production, directed by Rosetta Cucchi, presents Rossini's beloved opera in what looks like the collision of an M.C. Escher drawing and Disney's "Alice in Wonderland." It skimps on neither singing nor slapstick nor staircase chases, all supported by a sprightly orchestra led by music director David Angus. Come prepared to laugh.
Cucchi has previously directed a 1960s Parisian "La Bohème" and a metatheatrical "The Marriage of Figaro" for the BLO, and with this "Barber" she has found directorial equilibrium. Julia Noulin-Mérat's revolving tower sets pleased the eye and ear as well, providing acoustically advantageous perches for singers. D.M. Wood's outré lighting and Gianluca Falaschi's ornate, cartoonish costumes never distracted from the action, instead amplifying it. The heavily stylized production and clever staging (as well as the cast's dedicated clowning) contributed amusement and momentum to sequences that can sometimes be repetitive.
This production doesn't just tinker with design, but also focuses on giving the women additional self-determination. When the domineering Don Bartolo locks up his ward Rosina (here, forcing her into a literal cage too small for her cumbersome balloon skirt) and gloats in song, she stages her own jailbreak as soon as the old fool's back is turned with a defiant recitative that is often cut. Instead of the harried housekeeper Berta visibly lamenting her old-maid status and wishing for death, the end of her aria is here surtitled as "No one seems to want me! I feel like I could explode," while she feather-dusts the pantalooned rear ends of a quartet of footmen. In that last case, the action may have been enough to convince the audience that she didn't really mean what she was singing.
Mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack is making her company debut as a kicky Rosina, treating the audience to a dusky, round low range and fiery vocal runs on Sunday. As Count Almaviva, Jesus Garcia was on fire from the beginning, unleashing beautifully ardent paeans to Rosina in his elegant voice and throwing himself wholly into his various disguises as drunken soldier and obsequious music teacher. The two made adorable onstage lovers, and the addition of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" as vocal exercise during their singing-lesson scene was a funny update. Garcia sounded distinctly winded by the finale, and this production omits the notoriously difficult tenor showpiece "Cessa di più resistere," probably a wise choice given all those stairs he has to climb.
Starting at the end of the overture, when he appeared grinning in his barber's chair upstage center, Matthew Worth's Figaro was presented as a bravado-filled mastermind, but he didn't immediately sing like one. His "Largo al factotum" sounded thin, and he separated from the orchestra's tempo a few times. His voice warmed up more after intermission, matching his consistently on-point comic timing, and he and Garcia were easy compatriots.
An opera buffa's nothing without buffoons. Steven Condy has proven his puffed-up prowess many times as Bartolo (he sang the role in BLO's last "Barber," in 2012) and it was such fun to watch him zip through tongue-twisting patter and fall victim to all manner of pranks. Michelle Trainor's Berta was a comedic and vocal treat, as was David Crawford's deliciously shifty Don Basilio, who was dressed like Marilyn Manson at a Renaissance Faire and lit with haunted-house green whenever he appeared. These three added distinct droll touches to their deliveries, but they never veered into true grotesquerie; Rossini's melodies always carried the day.

Below is the video review of the Chuwi HiPad, sadly this MediaTek Helio X27 tablet turned out worse than expected with poor performance, touch input lag. Yet another case of the Helio X20 series performing poorly. The cause is either poor software optimization, not enough or not fast enough RAM. Or it has thermal throttling on the 10 core chip causing this slow choppy performance. (Which may or may not be fixable with a copper heatsink mod)
Or as many like to claim when I review a lemon, I got a faulty unit. Maybe I did? The rating with pros and cons can be found below.

For Intel, More Than Marketing in Art Alliance
Intel's collaboration with Vice Media might seem like just an attempt to be publicly associated with something cooler than computer chips. But there's more going on, the two companies insist, as typified by an event over the weekend in San Francisco.
The effort called the Creators Project, announced in June 2010, has funneled tens of millions of dollars from Intel to support artists who are using technology in innovative ways. The company also supplies technology and expertise to help artists come up with new creations.
Vice, which is involved in everything from magazines to TV and Web programming, contributes content-creation skills and connections to youth culture in 34 countries.
