(INTELLIHUB) — Former Deputy Director of Intelligence for the CIA, Carmen Medina, told CNBC Tuesday, that she thinks the U.S. is "less prepared" for cyber attacks then we should be.
Medina also pointed out that despite all the advanced capabilities of the CIA, the agency somehow has yet to figure out who carried out last week's cyber attacks that took down a score of major Internet sites.
"Disaffected gamers" could have carried out the attacks, Medina said, who also left the door open by saying, "Just about anybody with computer literacy could have pulled off the attacks. However, Medina assured viewers that "last weeks attack was not State sponsored.
We should also consider that attacks can also come from "groups associated with governments, if not governments themselves," Medina told CNBC.
Medina predicts that "you could, for example, have a series of cyber attacks […] on election night, denial of service attacks on State Election Boards and major regional news outlets that would make it impossible for people to access returns," which would of then result in distrust of the system throughout the populace.

Da Nang Waterfalls – Day Trip to Suoi Mo Hoa Bac
Running out of ideas for nature getaways from busy Da Nang? You've visited all touristy spots in the city and explored a stunning nature surrounding the city and now, you're asking yourself is there anything more? Well, we've asked ourselves this question countless times. What we did was very simple. Took a motorbike and ride around the city (including Quang Nam) to explore something new. Lately, we've been very interested in exploring Da Nang waterfalls and lakes.
So far, we've explored a few beautiful waterfalls and secluded lakes where you can easily spend a few days camping and relaxing. Believe us, you'll be surprised how many natural places you can find once you get out of the city and hit the countryside (we're going to write about these places soon).
For now, we'd like to talk about Soui Mo Hoa Bac waterfall that's a perfect spot for a day trip.
How to Get to Suoi Mo Hoa Bac Waterfall?
This one is by far one of the best waterfalls in Da Nang we've had a chance to explore. It's located just about an hour drive from the city. Getting there isn't so complicated, but as you get near the waterfall, be ready for some walking/driving through the jungle.
To get a better understanding of its location, here are directions:
No matter where are you starting from, to reach a waterfall you drive in the direction of Hai Van Pass. There are basically two main ways to reach Hai Van Pass – QL1A or Nguyen Tat Thanh Street. We recommend avoiding a busy QL1A as there are hundreds of traffic lights on the way and traffic can be very dangerous since that's the road massive containers and buses take.
Nguyen Tat Thanh, on the other hand, has only a few traffic lights and offers an iconic view on Hai Van, beautiful sandy beach and wide road. At the end of the street, you're going to connect to QL1A (you can't avoid it), but traffic isn't that crazy anymore like through the city.
Continue to follow QL1A until you pass Cau Nam O. After the bridge, you should take the first left turn (Ngo Xuan Thu). Just stay on the road and enjoy the view!
The road and its surrounding scenery are beautiful. You'll follow the river, paddy fields and stunning mountains in a distance.
Once you get to the marked location, there are two options:
- you leave the bike (there is a small abandoned house) and walk to the waterfall (around 20 minutes walk)
- or you drive the bike all the way to waterfall (there is a path full of rocks and it can be tough to drive)
We did both. The first time, we walked as it seemed there is no way we could drive our bikes up there. Once we reached the waterfall area, people told us to get the bike here as there were some bike stealing recently. We returned back for the bike and drove it all the way through a bumpy road full of stones. Not the most comfortable drive, but better be safe than sorry.
The whole way is paved as the waterfall is mainly visited by locals who have nhau there. We went during the weekend and the waterfall was packed with locals enjoying foods and drinks. It wasn't crowded and you can find the place to have a whole waterfall for yourself.
Handy Tips for Visiting Suoi Mo Hoa Bac Waterfall
We've randomly decided to visit one of the most beautiful Da Nang waterfalls, so the preparation was almost unexistent. However, after the trip to this stunning waterfall, here are some handy tips that will make your trip better:
- take enough water, snacks, drinks as this place is perfect for relaxing for a whole day
- not advisable to go after the rainy period since the paved road will be hard or impossible to pass
- drive your motorbike all the way to the waterfall (there is a security guy who'll watch over your bike for 10,000 VND)
- don't forget to apply a sunscreen
- don't hand over any trash to a security guy as he will just throw everything in the river
That would be it! The whole trip is around 30 km and it takes about one hour to reach the waterfall. There are plenty a few pools of crystal clear water and cliffs for jumping. Enjoy your day trip to one of the most beautiful Da Nang waterfalls.
Here are some photos from our day trip:

RELEASE: SurveyUSA Poll Shows Prop 10 Trailing by Double-Digits, October 16, 2018
New Survey Echoes Other Polls Showing Measure Failing by 11 Points
SACRAMENTO – A new poll by SurveyUSA released today for KABC-TV in Los Angeles, KPIX-TV in San Francisco, and KGTV-TV and the Union-Tribune in San Diego shows voters rejecting Proposition 10 by a 35-46 percent margin. Proposition 10 repeals the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, including protections for tenants and single-family homeowners.
The SurveyUSA poll is the fourth statewide poll showing Prop 10 losing by double-digits. A Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) poll released on September 26th showed the same result, as have several other private polls that have been released. In these polls, Democratic, Republican, and Independent voters all are rejecting Prop 10, as are nearly every geographic and demographic group
"This poll is consistent with all of the other surveys taken on Prop 10 showing that voters are rejecting an initiative that will worsen California's housing crisis," notes No on 10 spokesperson Steven Maviglio. "There is broad opposition to this measure that will cause a housing freeze, hurt renters, and diminish the value of single-family homes throughout the state."
A San Francisco Chronicle article that appears online today titled, "Is rent control the answer to sky-high prices? Bay Area voters skeptical" highlights voter opposition to Proposition 10.
SurveyUSA interviewed 1,200 state of CA adults 10/12/18 through 10/14/18. Of the adults, 964 are registered to vote. Of the registered voters, SurveyUSA determined that 762 had either already returned a ballot or were likely to do so before the 11/06/18 deadline. This research was conducted online.

Cowanesque Lake Project Kicks Off
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Tioga-Hammond and Cowanesque Lakes and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission last week commenced work to complete Pennsylvania's largest fish habitat improvement project.
About 2,500 tons of rock rubble humps and reefs will be placed into Cowanesque Lake through a cooperative partnership between the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These structures will provide habitat and cover for a variety of macro invertebrates such as crayfish and may flies. These structures will benefit the entire ecosystem as well as anglers alike for generations to come.
A national survey conducted by Mississippi State University in 2010 found that the main factor in lake habitat impairment in the northeast United States is the lack of structural habitat. In order for fisheries to reach full fish production potential, the reservoir needs 30 to 50 percent coverage of natural, native, and artificial habitat.
This project will bring the lake into this optimal range, providing the best habitat for fish.
One thought on "Cowanesque Lake Project Kicks Off"
Is there a bathymetric map available of the sites where this rock structure was dumped?

Fire Weather Watch issued for Guam
View of the Naval Magazine fire from the Leon Guerrero compound in Santa Rita Pacific Daily News
National Weather Service in Guam issued a Fire Weather Watch, which means the weather conditions from now until late Sunday night are ripe for fires across the island.
The weather service fire weather watch forecasts very light rainfall for the upcoming weekend. This coupled with drying vegetation may lead to grass fires.
NWS advises residents against burning outdoors. Office of Guam Homeland Security and Civil Defense urged people to be cautious if discarding any smoking material.
There've already been some spot fires at different locations across Guam in the last few days.
Earlier this week local and federal firefighters battled fires in southern Guam, including one near LeoPalace Resort Guam and another fire originating on Naval Magazine that spread to parts of Schoeffel Heights Road in Santa Rita.
Guam is currently in the middle of dry season.

San Diego's Smart Streetlights Yield a Firehose of Data
by Tekla S. Perry, IEEE Spectrum
San Diego, CA, has set up about 2,000 sensor-laden smart streetlights that can gather pictures, sounds, and other data. So far, the city has focused on the image data, using it to count pedestrians and cars as they move around the city.
Officials are still considering other possibilities, such as using the streetlights to locate gunshots, track airport noise, or monitor air quality. In addition, the city has ordered 1,000 more smart streetlights to supplement its initial order of 3,200, the remainder of which will be installed in the next month or two.
Said the city's Eric Caldwell, "We want to see if we can build a tool, based on a more accurate model of how traffic and pedestrians behave, to optimize traffic for law enforcement."
Says Caldwell of a recent test examining whether the streetlights could identify open parking spaces, "We just completed a pilot demonstration project benchmarking the system against parking meters with built-in sensors, against parking transaction data, and against an intern with a clipboard. We found that the streetlights provide the best information."
With the accuracy of parking data verified, Caldwell says, the city is now preparing to take action on that information. "We thought we were using spaces 60 percent of the time," he said, "but data we from the streetlights says we are using them 90 percent, which is overutilized. So we are thinking about pricing, whether we should have more parking in certain areas, whether we should expand the metered network."
Seeing all this information, he says, city managers have been inspired to try to help police and fire vehicles get to emergencies faster:
We want to see if we can build a tool, based on a more accurate model of how traffic and pedestrians behave, to optimize traffic for law enforcement. Say, when a fire call comes into a fire station, right now, the doors of the fire station go up, and the location information goes into a GPS system. But today, when the firefighters pop onto the road, they are back in the '80s, strobing the light and hoping cars will get out of the way. It would be easier if we could use the traffic signals and street lights to clear the road from Point A to Point B, and then have the [streetlight] system detect how the fire truck is moving through the street, restoring traffic flow behind it. That would save us money on fire stations, because we build them based on response times. Improving response times means we might not need as many stations." Read the article.
DCL: These kinds of systems depend upon a lot of real-time event processing, and are essentially CEP applications.

Luigi Maria Fierro (Global Head of HR Strategy & Transformation of ING) joined us in Venturi's Voice Slack on February 1st to host an 'Ask Me Anything'.
Luigi was on hand to answer questions on the theme: 'Which HR technologies are worth investing in 2019?'. He tackled a broad range of topics including semantic language analysis, microchipping employees, & people analytics.
Below are some of the highlights from the event.
To access the full transcript and take park in upcoming AMAs, join Venturi's Voice Slack.
Question from @Chrisg
Do you think AI will eventually replace humans when making hiring decisions?
Difficult question.
Honestly, I can actually see AI replacing the human when a company is hiring for lower-skilled jobs. If a role has a high turnover of employees and there's a clear set of skills that can be assessed in a binary manner to determine whether a person is capable of filling the position then the risk of an AI placing someone into an unsuitable role is low.
Follow up question from @Liam Donoghue
Looking at AI in a wider context, is the removal of jobs by automation something you're personally worried about/ making plans for? Do you see it affecting 'white collar' workers as much as manual labour?
The increasing role automation is playing in our lives is nothing new, it has been part of human evolution for the last 100 year and quite often has created new jobs. This challenge isn't something completely new. I am quite positive that AI will not remove jobs but will instead shift/create new jobs in new area of expertise we are not even aware of right now. As a HR professional, I have to be aware of this and help my company and my colleagues develop new skills and new mindsets that can be applied to future jobs.
Question from @Simon Darling
How do you deal with the fact that there are many great HR Tech solutions that can do one thing very well (eg performance review, engagement surveys, ATS). But an integrated solution is hard to deliver with a great customer experience across touchpoints (eg common sign on, data analytics across platforms)?
This is a clear dilemma. we decided to focus on integration and standardization, with a single point of contact for the employees. This is also helping the employee experience since you can have the same HR experience in any country.
Question from @Andy Davis
Do you see any practical application for VR in the HR process? And if so where is the most potential?
We are exploring VR and I believe it could have a great when onboarding candidates, you can give potential employees virtual tours of your office. It's also useful in training situations such as how to have a difficult performance conversation.
Follow up question from @Andy Davis
That's an interesting point you made about training for difficult performance conversations. I would have thought that training like that would need to be human to human to really get across the emotional implications of a discussion like that. Have you found that isn't the case? Do people prefer training using VR?
Face to face training is always the most effective way to skill up staff but it has its limitation. In short, that style of training is not scalable and replicable. For a companies with thousands employees is not economically viable to have massive face to face training. VR can help on achieving scalable and cost-effective training solutions.
Question from @Daniella
What are your thoughts on 'people analytics'. How can companies use people analytics to get the best advantage in HR and how can they use data analytics to measure a HR departments output?
I see People Analytics actually serving both a business's needs and the needs of its HR department. From a business perspective PA can help in:
I) Reforming an a company's structure after a period or re-organisation.
ii) Analysing a company's internal email patterns to determine which departments should be positioned closer together to support idea sharing
From an HR perspective, PA can help to measure employee engagement and gender pay gap distribution. For us, we use PA to aid in the professional development of every single employee and we use it to understand how an individual's skills and capabilities are evolving.
Question from @Kirsty
I've got a bit of a broader question….how do you see HR developing over the next decade?
Wow, super broad question.
I see HR becoming, an even more, strategic function playing a critical role in developing every single colleague. HR has to further step up in terms of professionalism also attracting professionals with different backgrounds. I definitely see a tech career path in HR appearing in the near future. Data science students are already working in People Analytic departments and I can see the trend toward a data-driven HR department increasing.

Banned anabolic steroid stanozolol is widely used in Italy, with jumping riders simply relying on their vets to prevent any anti-doping violations, it has been alleged.
These assertions were made to the FEI Tribunal by Italian rider Valentina Isoardi in defence of her boyfriend, 26-year-old Giacomo Bassi. Bassi was suspended the minimum two years for a banned substance violation, after stanozolol and ketoprofen positives were returned by Cenerado at the CSI3* Gorla Minore on March 12th last year.
The use of stanozolol is also a criminal offence in Italy, though it is a component of Stargate, which Bassi said was administered to Cenerado with his consent four times between November 30 and December 21, 2016.
Bassi was also fined CHF 4,000 (Swiss francs) and ordered to pay CHF2,500 costs. However, Tribunal also heard that Stargate and its sister product Sungate were actively promoted in Italy by pharmaceutical company ACME through sponsorship, among others, of Bassi and the Italian equestrian federation itself. While "astonished" at Bassi's lack of knowledge, when deciding the term of his suspension Tribunal took into account ACME's history of recommending their stanozolol products to him. It also accepted Bassi's pledge to help "sensitise" fellow riders about anti-doping rules.
Bassi said his was "a fault of excessive trust" in his former sponsor and his vet. "Doping does not represent me, I am truly sorry for what happened and I can guarantee that it won't happen again."
ACME has since made a legal challenge about the status of stanozolol on the Equine Anti-Doping prohibited list.
Cenerado, now aged 11, joined Bassi's stables in 2013 and was treated for "slight lameness" initially but thereafter "was always sound." But in November 2016 "he got lame." Vet Dr Tampieri had previously treated Cenerado with Sungate in Bassi's presence and decided to administer the "stronger version" Stargate since the horse was in a "worse situation."
Dr Tampieri administered the first injection and showed Bassi's groom how to perform the subsequent injections, because Bassi would be away.
Neither Bassi nor Isoardi knew about stanozolol, or much about FEI anti-doping rules until notified of this offence, they testified. Isoardi, who also described herself as the stable's administrator, added that most fellow riders "were just relying on what their veterinarians told them, and had not much knowledge about the anti-doping rules, or detection times. "
Bassi said the ketoprofen (a controlled anti-inflammatory) was injected intravenously by vet Dr Gaia Mosconi on the evening March 5th. She confirmed her diagnosis of "fever due to fatigue."
ACME submitted an argument about the clinical merits of stanozolol for horses "affected by bilateral chronic desmitis of the fetlock suspensory ligament." But the FEI responded that stanozolol is also "one of the anabolic steroids commonly used to increase performance" going back to the Ben Johnson incident at the 1988 Olympic Games, which is why it is banned by so many sporting agencies.
Tribunal added that this "does not concern a case of not allowing sufficient detection or withdrawal times.
"Banned Substances, such as stanozolol, shall never be found in any competition horse. It is, therefore, irrelevant whether or not the suggested detection/withdrawal times have been followed by the person responsible (PR).
"The Tribunal is astonished that the PR, who has been riding in FEI competitions since 2006, was not aware of the EADCMRs [anti-doping rules] until the case at hand arose. The PR's claim that he is more responsible than other riders in Italy, and that other riders in Italy seem to have no knowledge regarding the EADCMRs either, cannot be accepted as a valid excuse."

30 Little Chores You'll Be Glad You Did a Year from Now
Spend five minutes now and save hours of hassle and frustration later. Hint: One of these "chores" could get you to a beach.
Make a dentist appointment
"When you avoid seeing the dentist on a regular basis, minor conditions grow into major issues. For example, a small cavity develops and grows until you end up with an abscess. The abscess will take considerably more time and money to fix than the cavity, not to mention the pain. I always emphasize to my clients that it's just as important to do 'health chores' as it is house chores." —Alice Price, certified professional organizer and coach. Check out 50 other healthy habits that will help you live longer.
Book a vacation
"We tend to put off big projects, like planning a vacation, because they take more than one step to complete and need to be managed over a long period of time. But procrastinating may mean you do a sub-par job or, worse, it doesn't happen at all. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, do some planning and scheduling. Break down a project into small tasks that can be done fairly quickly. Research locations online one day; then gather supplies another day. Mapping out a plan and scheduling time to do each step will help you save time and money and get the vacation you really want." —Janet Schiesl, certified professional organizer and owner of Basic Organization
Deep-clean your fridge
Andrey Popov/Shutterstock
"A lot of my clients struggle with productivity and procrastination, especially in the home. One household chore I've found that helps clear some mental and physical space is to clean out the fridge. Clean up little spills as you go but once a year make time to clean it out top to bottom. If that sounds too overwhelming, think about the very first thing you need to do to get started rather than the entire chore. One of my favorite mantras is 'If it's difficult to get started, the first step is too big.'" —Joel Minden, PhD, Clinical Psychologist at the Chico Center for Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Just avoid these cleaning mistakes that leave your house germy.
File important papers right away
"People defer decisions on paperwork because they don't know where to put a bill, an office memo, or a recipe, so it ends up in a pile and you can never find anything when you need it. Creating a system that's easy to maintain means that it will be, well, easy! You're much more likely to put something away if you know where it goes than if you feel like you have to figure out where it goes each time, so develop a fool-proof filing system—and use it." —Erin Strasen, professional organizer and owner of Placed by Erin. Check out these other 26 secrets professional organizers won't tell you for free.
Install a financial app on your phone—and use it
"It's easy to procrastinate dealing with finances but this is how people get in thousands of dollars of debt and lose control of their financial health. Balance your checkbook, keep an app on your phone such as Mint or LearnVest, know your net worth and stay on top of your daily spending habits and budgeting plans. It only takes a few minutes a day but letting this get out of control can cost thousands in interest payments, late charges, unused and unnecessarily purchased items as well as a lowered credit score which in worst cases, can prevent you from getting jobs, homes and transportation." —Beth Derrick, life coach at Live Good, Live Well. Your bank account will thank you for these 10 easy ways to save $20,000 in a year.
Back up your digital photos
Kiattisak Lamchan/Shutterstock
"Upload your pictures to your computer or a cloud service at least once a month. Even better, take a minute to change the names of the photos to something more meaningful. Or organize them into folders labeled with the date and event (like Sep 2017 Kim birthday). You can go a step further by right-clicking the photo and selecting properties. This menu option will allow you to add keywords or names to an image making it easier to search for specific images later. Making backups will save time and money later on and also give you peace of mind." —Cheri Warnock, Photo Organizer and owner of Cherish Your Photos
Squeegee your shower
"If you have a walk-in shower, get a squeegee and use it to remove excess moisture from any windows and walls. It only takes 30 seconds and will do wonders to prevent mildew and soap buildup. If you have a shower/tub, wipe down the walls and tub (along with the shower curtain) after each use. These little preventative measures will save you from having to do a massive shower scrub later on." —Marty Basher, home organization expert at Modular Closets. Learn about the things smart homeowners do every week.
Set up auto-pay for bills
Africa Studio/Shutterstock
"Take the time to set up auto-pay for all the bills you can; then you don't have to worry about being late and paying fees and it will improve your credit score. If you can't do auto-pay, schedule a time one night a week to pay bills. Have a 'bill paying' drawer or basket that has envelopes, stamps, a pen, checkbook, everything you need to pay bills." —Felice Cohen, professional organizer, author, motivational speaker. Here are 35 more things every homeowner needs to know.
Sort your mail at the recycling bin
"Before you even put the mail down on the counter, take a quick look at each piece quickly. If you know you don't want the catalog, flyer, advertisement, or credit card offer, drop it in the recycle bin or trash straight away. Do not put them down and then let these junk items join the rest of the pile of mail. Recycling as the mail comes in saves you time because you won't be looking at things twice. Even better, sort it over the outside garbage can so you won't have to take it out again." —Diane N. Quintana, certified professional organizer at DNQ Solutions. Memorize these 13 secrets of people who always have a clean house.
Clean out your accessories and makeup
"You should clean out your closets and drawers every season. But don't just focus on clothing. Make sure you also sort through your makeup, travel items, small electronics, accessories, jewelry, and home goods. You may find some 'hidden treasures' that you'd forgotten you had and it will save you the expense of re-buying them." —Rebecca Gitana Torres, interior designer, Healer through the Home Space. Find out how often you should clean everything in your house.

Len runs a small coffee house and offers a range of eclectic collectables in a historic building in a small Central Victorian town. When I called in for coffee we talked about the writing courses that I offer and he invited me to bring my coffee to the kitchen and observe some 'performance art'. As he prepared a batch of his very popular scones we chatted and he told me that if I hadn't seen the work of Agnes Varda then I really needed to check out her award-winning documentaries that focus on the lives of ordinary people.
Personally, I am not particularly interested in the lives of celebrities. Rather I am interested in building a small library that documents the lives of more humble folk, like Len, who lead lives away from the bright lights of flashing cameras.
Sarah Krasnostein is a writer and a legal researcher with a doctorate in criminal law. She clearly thinks similarly. Her book, The Trauma Cleaner documents one woman's extraordinary life in death, decay and disaster. Husband, father, drag queen, sex worker, wife. This book is a love letter to an extraordinary ordinary life. In Sandra Pankhurst, Krasnostein discovered, purely by chance, a woman capable of taking a lifetime of hostility and transphobic abuse and using it to care for some of society's most in-need people.

Beautiful, and as they say on your side of the pond? "Good Show Old Man!"! at least that's what our old movies would have us believe??Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond once more:
R08 sailed into USN Base Norfolk on 14 Nov to off load the F35B test equipment and spares after a successful 6?week OT-1 F35B operational test phase.
HMS QE entered port with 3 Lightnings and 5 Merlin ranged on deck. The first time a QE carrier has entered a port with F35s onboard.
The 3 F35s are believed to be those of 17 Sqn (normally based in the US) and that 617 Sqn's 3 aircraft have disembarked and are heading back to Marham imminently.
Here's a selection of pics of R08 at Norfolk.

Much as we appreciate the sentiment, Hollywood has a lot to answer for! I've lived here nearly fifty years, and haven't seen anyone wear a Bowler Hat, talk like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins, and to be honest nobody actually talks about the weather! Unless it's about the effects of extreme weather, like the flooding this week or Tornado damage to houses (yes we get about 100 Tornadoes a year, mostly F2s though). Our food is excellent, rumours to the contrary were and still are circulated by the French mainly, a race who eat frogs, snails and horses...Beautiful, and as they say on your side of the pond? "Good Show Old Man!"! at least that's what our old movies would have us believe??

All formats include instant MP3 and WAV download.
While a reunion record titled Memory may conjure images of a band waxing nostalgic about the halcyon days of yore, Vivian Girls' newest record is anything but a pleasant reminiscence. The latent darkness that always haunted their records is on full display upon their return. Vivian Girls are back and they haven't forgotten what they went through.
During their initial run as a band, Vivian Girls were a band of outsiders for outsiders. They existed in warehouses and house parties. The DIY spots, the small clubs. They were a band for the freaks, the malcontents. The ones who loved The Wipers as much as Burt Bacharach as much as The Shangri-Las. The ones who talked about astrology and politics and romance with equal passion. They were the band that made the punks feel like they could sing harmonies and pop fans could get in touch with their anger. Cassie Ramone's lyrics alternated between love, loss and rage. They were heart-on-their-sleeves romantics in one breath and a spiraling explosion of feedback in the next. They were a band that we needed. No one wrote about all the bands that started in their wake in 2009. But let us remember: Vivian Girls not only gave us their songs; they gave us a chance to believe in ourselves.
And they were a band that made the indie gatekeepers uncomfortable. And so they were ones that paid for what made them special. Since their time as a band, the comment threads that demeaned and threatened them with violence have since been deemed irresponsible and removed. Websites dedicated to their bodies under the cheap veil of irony have been shuttered. One would hope that today, major music publications would no doubt reconsider having a male reviewer question their "place in indie rock."
After their third album -- 2011's Share the Joy -- the members of Vivian Girls parted ways and the band who had known each other since they were teenagers, went about the business of living. Katy Goodman and Ali Koehler both moved to Los Angeles, continued making music (La Sera for Goodman, Best Coast and Upset for Koehler) and started families. Ramone continued to make art in Brooklyn, released two solo records and two full-lengths with Kevin Morby as The Babies, and moved to Los Angeles in 2018 after a phone call with Goodman spurred the idea of playing music together again.
With Ramone and Goodman on board, Koehler (the drummer for Vivian Girls' second full-length Everything Goes Wrong) re-joined the band and the trio began playing together again during the spring of 2018, keeping the practices a secret and enjoying the simple communion of playing together. By fall, the members of Vivian Girls were ready to enter the studio and over the course of two sessions in mid-September and Halloween week, Memory was recorded with producer Rob Barbato (Kevin Morby, The Fall). (Please note that during the September session, there was a waxing moon in Scorpio/Sagittarius, sun in Virgo, while during the October session, there was a full moon in Taurus, sun in Scorpio.)
Memory is an album filled with personal reflections on toxic relationships, the false promise of new love, mental health struggles, and finding ways to accept oneself amidst it all. And of course, there is the trademark mystery that set the band apart during its first incarnation. Even when we don't know what exactly a Vivian Girls song is about, we know it is true.
Fittingly, the sonic textures of the album match this sense of desperation and longing. It's a loud, snarling journey and there's a sense of streamlined direction and intensity to the performances: it sounds like a band returning to a core idea of itself.
In the end, Vivian Girls have returned to making music together, looking to the future while bringing their past along with them, boldly and without apologies. And so let us listen and remember: we can still believe in ourselves.
The New York Times
"Memory has about a decade's worth of anxiety and ire simmering underneath its reverb-drenched harmonies and distorted guitars. Across 12 tight songs, the reunited band sticks to the formula - girl-group DNA with a feminist-punk edge - that made it stand out in the post-riot grrrl, male-dominated, late-aughts indie era, and helped clear the path for the current bounty of female-driven DIY rock."
"One of the silver linings of 2019 has been witnessing Vivian Girls prove they were, quite clearly, ahead of their time... A wonderfully bittersweet return to the group's signature lovesickness."
"Thank god. Vivian Girls are back, and not a moment too soon."
"All hail the return of Vivian Girls... impossible to listen to only once."
"A worthy addition to the legacy that Vivian Girls have already established... The band is as good as they ever were, and maybe even a little better."
"Vivian Girls' sound is still a hodgepodge of all their musical touchstones, indecipherable beneath the haze, continuously confronting and morphing into something much, much grander."
"Memory captures a sense of desperation and longing... a frenzied, strong return to the band's familiar jangle-pop instrumentation, fleeting, twisting harmonies and dark lyricism."
FLOOD Magazine
"Ramone's lyrics often end up inside a noisy cocoon, yet they've always been one of Vivian Girls' strongest assets. On Memory, they're a reminder of why we fell in love with the band in the first place."
Rolling Stone
"A slice of jangle-pop reverie, "Sick" sees the band of outsiders at their best. But beneath the punky bass thump and their signature girl group harmonies, Ramone's heavenly verses have fangs"
The AV Club
"Ecstatic, lovely, and timeless... 'Something To Do' might be one of the best songs they've ever released."

In February 2013, director Stephen Vittoria premiered his film Long Distance Revolutionary: A Journey with Mumia Abu-Jamal in New York City. The documentary is the latest in a series of films about famed activist, scholar and political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal. Unlike other films about Abu-Jamal, like 1998's Mumia Abu-Jamal: A Case for Reasonable Doubt and 2008's In Prison My Whole Life, which spend ample time recounting the facts of his controversial murder case, Vittoria's film centers around Abu-Jamal's life in prison and the community organizations working to secure his release. Vittoria's is unabashedly a film by an activist for activists. As he boastfully declared at the premier, he didn't make the film to win friends. Instead, the documentary aims to contribute to a grassroots movement for change.
In this way, the tenor of Vittoria's film offers an expanded understanding of the role of progressive filmmaking in the 21st century. Not satisfied with simple narration or explanation, Long Distance Revolutionary seeks to incite, to compel the audience to action using the stories of those who have spent their lives fighting on behalf of Mumia Abu-Jamal and other political prisoners. Notable guest appearances in the film include: professor and activist Cornel West, journalist Amy Goodman, The New Jim Crow author Michelle Alexander and prison abolitionist Angela Davis. Davis's appearance in the film is striking, not only because of the cogent analysis she offers regarding the prison system, but also because of the similarities her case shares with Abu-Jamal's.
In 1970, Angela Davis was accused of kidnapping and first-degree murder in connection to a shooting that took place at a California courthouse. From the outset, it was clear the prosecution of Davis was politically motivated and her allegiances with radical organizations were taken as proof of her guilt. Similarly, in 1981, Mumia Abu-Jamal was arrested on first-degree murder charges in connection with the death of police officer Daniel Faulkner in Philadelphia. Like Davis, Abu-Jamal had been active with radical organizations like the Black Panther Party and had voiced sympathies for Black separatist group MOVE. Abu-Jamal was convicted and sentenced to death following a highly contested trial. Though Abu-Jamal's sentence has recently been reduced to life in prison without parole, unlike Davis, his case has not yet succeeded in producing a movement forceful enough to overturn the conviction.
That's what Vittoria's film hopes to change. After more than 30 years of tireless work by community activists like Pam Africa and organizations like the Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Coalition NYC and International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal, Long Distance Revolutionary wants to make those contributions known and breathe new life into the movement. In an age where "likes," tweets and signal boosts can reach thousands in a matter a seconds, Vittoria's film campaign for Mumia aims to go viral. Harnessing the power of new media platforms and innovative distribution venues, the film is blazing a new way forward in the fight to free 'em all.

ipod touch
Originally uploaded by robinhamman
I popped into the Apple Store on Regent Street this morning to see the newly arrived iPod touch. I wasn't the only one – every iPod touch in the store was in use, with numerous people circling the table hoping to get their hands on one next. Having played with an iPhone when in Chicago last month, I knew what to expect from the interface and still found myself wowed by the intuitive navigation but what I didn't realise until I got my hands on the new touch was exactly how slim it is – probably about the same thickness as the stack of business cards you'd get at a one day conference.
I don't normally post about how fantastic a gadget is, but the iPod touch really is one of the most beautifully designed, even elegant, pieces of technology I've seen yet.
I very much want one of these (and my birthday is tomorrow if anyone with deep pockets is listening)…

Gurgaon-based Sky Gate Hospitality Pvt. Ltd, which runs food startup Biryani By Kilo, is planning to raise $6-8 million in Series A round of funding to expand its operations
Bengaluru, 03 Dec, 2018. RedNewswire/-
Biryani by Kilo was founded in 2015 by two veterans of industry Kaushik Roy and Vishal Jindal is now gearing up to raise around $6-8 Mn to expand its operations.
The food chain plans to establish a strong pan-India footprint and expand into select international markets like UAE and the UK in the next three-five years. The company aims to build a network of over 120 outlets, and is eyeing revenue of Rs 100 crore by 2020.
Biryani by Kilo(BBK) is a premium delivery brand with 100% focus on delivering every order on time and offers rich customer experience which the patron would have received at a fine dining restaurant by paying an exorbitant price. BBK also plans to open select Dine in outlets in Tier I & II cities for customers to experience the brand even better.
BBK was launched with an intent to preserve the Khansama style of cooking, wherein each meal/biryani is freshly cooked with rich ingredients, unlike other brands where the food is cooked in bulk and repackaged & sold.
Earlier in June this year, BBK raised a pre-Series A investment led by Ajay Relan, founder & chairman CX Partners, and Vinay Mittal, who has held strategy and finance roles at HT Media, EXL & Max India.

» High-tech waste can leave a negative impact on the environment
By NASH NUNNERY
It's not always about owning the latest or greatest gadget – the economics of high-tech gadgetry encourages disposal.
Discarding a still-useful electronic device for little or no reason has become status quo in recent years for many companies. Purchasing a new printer is ultimately cheaper than buying a set of new ink cartridges.
But with all the "speed of light" advances in computer and mobile device technology there comes a growing problem – what to do with the old devices that suddenly become electronic waste?
E-waste continues to be one of the fastest growing environmental issues, according to the Environmental Protective Agency. Even though junked technology represents only 2 percent of the nation's trash, it accounts for around 70 percent of the overall toxic waste in landfills. With the desire for new devices intensifying every year, the problem of improperly disposing of old technology is growing exponentially.
Currently, EPA figures show only 15 to 25 percent of e-waste is being recycled. Do discarded electronics really make that much of an impact on the environment?
Most definitely, says Christopher Lumaghini, who founded Magnolia Data Solutions in Jackson.
"There are many reasons to properly dispose of old electronics but the most basic is they're toxic to the environment," he said. "Most contain items such as mercury and lead that when improperly disposed, can impact the environment in a negative way."
Lumaghini launched Magnolia Data Solutions in 2006 and was one of the first 50 companies in the nation to earn the R2 global certification, the electronics recycling industry's leading certification. Other MDS certifications include ISO 1401 and Ohsas 18001.
Regarding recycling versus the repurposing of discarded electronics, Lumaghini leaves the choice to his clients.
"We actually do both, as we have some clients that desire the old equipment be destroyed and then others that want it repurposed," he said.
"Regardless of the choice, all data is destroyed. Per our certifications, we can only repurpose fully working equipment and avoid pushing damaged equipment into the marketplace.
"Additionally, we must maintain testing records on all equipment."
Handling a client request to dispose of outdated electronics such as tablets, computers, mobile devices and printers varies in each case, said Lumaghini. Once general information is gathered from the client, Magnolia determines if they need a higher level of security.
"If so, we send our mobile shred truck to destroy all data on the devices that are to be discarded on the client's premises," he said.
"Once shredding is completed, our guys begin removing and packing the old equipment on the truck for the trip to our facility."
Upon arrival at Magnolia, all the discarded electronics are weighed and placed in one of two locations – a sorting area where items are recorded by type, brand, model number, serial number and asset tag. Afterwards, the equipment will travel to the disassembly area for final processing.
"At the completion of any project, we will send a series of forms (certificate of recycling, data destruction sheets,etc.) and finalize anything else the client needs.
"We're very flexible and have an amazing team of men and women who make everything possible."
However, government regulation regarding e-waste is almost non-existent, he said.
"Since we are an R2-certified facility, we have regulations that hold us to even high standards and we are audited bi-annually – but there still exists a lack of e-waste regulation generally." Lumaghini said.
In 2016, Magnolia Data Solutions processed nearly three million pounds of e-waste. The company employs a team of seven technicians at its Fairbanks Street location.

The future: time's excuse
to frighten us; too vast
a project, too large a morsel
for the heart's mouth.
Future, who won't wait for you?
Everyone is going there.
It suffices you to deepen
the absence that we are.
Translated by A. Poulin
"Time's excuse to frighten us " – an image reminiscent of John Donne or Andrew Marvell. But the next image
"Too vast a project" sounds more 'modern' ,conveying a conscious plan to mould future activities to the achievement of a pre-decided objective.
The next image draws from the sensory experience of taste-"too large a morsel for the heart's mouth"-a very graphic image.
But the most fascinating image is "it suffices you to deepen the absence that we are" .Just think about it : as future grows ,the past deepens and with it our absence.

Protect yourself with this fraud and data breach information.
Equifax Data Breach
143 million Americans may have been affected by the latest data breach as reported by Equifax. Data breaches have become our new norm, it seems. According to the ID Theft Center, there have been 7,873 breaches since 2005, exposing 907,293,703 records.
At this time, it appears there were just over 200,000 credit cards among the 143 million records potentially compromised. Equifax has indicated that debit cards were not exposed — therefore criminals are unlikely to have the capability to withdraw funds from a checking account.
Member Impact
The most pressing and immediate threat with this breach is identity theft, and the best thing you can do right now is follow these identity protection tips:
- Use CardNav by CO-OP on your First Community debit card to receive real-time, in-app alerts any time your card is used, letting you know immediately if there are unauthorized purchases on your card.
- Review your credit report. Consumers are allowed one free copy every 12 months. Stagger your requests between the three credit bureaus requesting one every three months instead of all at the same time
- Don't respond to email, text or telephone calls asking for personal or financial information
- Be vigilant with your bank and credit card accounts by frequently reviewing account activity and immediately reporting unauthorized transactions
- If fraud has occurred on your account, place fraud alert with credit bureaus
- Be prepared to file your taxes early

Recent Updates
Incidents of skimming devices being installed on ATM machines are on the rise in our area. The FBI, U.S. Secret Service and/or local law enforcement are always involved in ATM skimming investigations. Law enforcement agencies are looking into ways to combat skimming, including altering the design of ATMs and modifying the magnetic stripe technology. Your best protection however is your own vigilance.
Following are some tips to help you avoid becoming a skimming victim:
- Call the credit union (800-767-8880) immediately if you believe there is an actual or a potential problem with your card.
- Keep your PIN safe. Don't give it to anyone. Cover the pin pad while entering your PIN with your other hand if possible.
- Watch out for people who try to "help" you at an ATM.
- Look at the ATM before using it. If it doesn't look right, don't use it. Examples include loose card reader, card doesn't insert smoothly, or you see scratches, sticky tape residue or any type of liquid or gel. Newer ATMs have a flashing or steady light at the card slot. If it's obscured, suspect tampering.
- If an ATM has any unusual signage, don't use it.
- If your card is not returned after the transaction has been completed--or after you press Cancel--immediately contact the credit union.
Always check your statements to be sure there are no unusual withdrawals. Better yet, download our CardNav app and get messages every time a transaction posts to your account.
Be advised of a new scam. No secret bank accounts to pay your bills. See additional information.

Retractable studs – new from Nokian
Nokian has introduced "the world's first non-studded winter tyre where the driver can deploy tyre studs with the press of a button. Studs usually help tyre bite into snow, providing better grip. But on a bare surface they damage it and the sound is also a nuisance.
The Nokian concept makes it possible to retract the stud when not needed. The Finnish tyre maker has presented this concept as part of the celebrations to mark 80 years of winter tyres, which the company had introduced for the first time.
With the push of a button the little ice studs pop out and the tyre is as good as the Mach 5 on ice. Of course the button will eventually go away and the little studs will be tied to a real-time sensor mounted at the front of the vehicle that measures ice thickness and deploys these automatically.

Google launches game-streaming platform
Google unveiled a video-game streaming platform called Stadia, last week, positioning itself to take on the traditional video-game business.
The platform will store a game-playing session in the cloud and lets players jump across devices operating on Google's Chrome browser and Chrome OS, such as Pixel phones and Chromebooks.
Google did not say how much its new service will cost, whether it will offer subscriptions or other options, or what games will be available at launch —all key elements to the success of a new video-game platform. It said only that Stadia will be available in late 2019.
Google made the announcement at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Some industry watchers were expecting a streaming console, but Google's platform centres squarely on the company's cloud infrastructure.
"The new generation of gaming is not a box," said Google Vice President Phil Harrison, "The data centre is your platform."
Google said it is leveraging its data centres to power the system, and that playing video games will be as simple as pressing a 'Play Now' button, with nothing to download or install. An optional dedicated Stadia controller will be available. The WiFi-enabled controller has a button that lets players launch a microphone and use Google Assistant to ask questions about the games being played. Another button lets users share gameplay directly to Google's video streaming service, YouTube.
Harrison said he expects all gaming will eventually take place outside consoles, in cloud-powered streaming platforms similar to what Google announced. But not right away.
"It won't replace traditional games devices overnight," he said in an interview after the announcement, "And we wouldn't be here if not for the existing traditional platforms."
CFRA research analyst Scott Kessler said Google's approach that ties YouTube sharing and video-game playing is unique.
"It is not necessarily at this point the easiest thing for people to livestream their games and now you can do it with the push of a button," he said, "What they've done with Stadia is to connect and unify both the gaming platform and the streaming platform which obviously is new."
The company said Stadia will be available late this year in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and parts of Europe. More information about games and pricing is due this summer.
The US video game industry raked in revenue of US$43.4 billion in 2018, up 18 per cent from 2017, according to research firm NPD Group.

From the second half of the 1970s, SCEC commenced research and development in the area of automated chemical supply equipment, a time when semiconductor manufacturing began to go into full swing. In 1981, it delivered its first such equipment units. Since then, SCEC has supplied numerous safe and stable systems, mainly centering on this system, and in this way it is contributing to stable operation and labor saving at its client's plants.
Currently, SCEC supplies these systems to clients in Japan and seven other countries, and SCEC has earned an excellent reputation, both in Japan and worldwide.
Chemical supply systems must be safe and be able to ensure a constantly stable supply of chemicals to plants which now mostly operate on a continuous 24 hours a day 365 days a year basis. Chemical supply systems are a major area of strength for SCEC, and it has extensive experience with over 1,500 such units delivered. SCEC has also provided after-sales services for many years, and this has given it a wealth of diverse experience. SCEC has stored this accumulated experience in the form of know- how and constantly feeds this back to its system development and after-sales services. In this way, SCEC supplies extremely reliable systems matched to the properties of the chemicals involved. SCEC is ready to respond to even greater diversification in client needs, and by creating even better systems, SCEC seeks to ensure total client satisfaction.

Alcohol lowers inhibitions and loosens tongues, making it all too easy to open old wounds and excavate long-festering resentments. It's bad enough when your sister or brother lashes out at you, but what's worse is when your kids are included in the harangue. Setting and enforcing strict boundaries puts your sibling on notice that you will no longer tolerate their behavior.
State Your Position
A talk when she is sober, not hung over, and when both of you are feeling reasonably calm and relaxed may be helpful. Direct and specific statements are most forceful, such as: "When you drink too much, you become belligerent and insult me in front of my children. I refuse to be around you when you act like that." The more you can keep your tone friendly or at least neutral, hard as that might be, the more likely it is that your sibling may be willing to hear what you have to say. However, don't be surprised if she argues or becomes defensive; just continue to make it clear that her abuse cannot continue.
Enforce Boundaries
Verbal abuse is largely about the need to control and belittle other people. Enforcing the boundaries you've set through assertive actions such as hanging up the phone, stopping a text, leaving the room or asking your sibling to leave, shows that you're the one in control of your own and your children's lives. It may be tempting to argue back, but this usually just recreates old, dysfunctional family patterns. Besides, they probably won't listen to what you have to say, especially if they've been drinking.
Remain Firm
Changes don't happen overnight and chances are this scenario will be played out several times before your sibling gets the message that her abuse and her problem drinking are not acceptable to you. It may be even harder if other family members try to defend her though comments such as, "It isn't that bad" or "You're being too hard on her." Should you find your resolve wavering, ask yourself if you want your children to witness this behavior. It may also help to remember the simple truth that everyone is entitled to live free of abuse.
Recognizing Alcoholism
If your brother or sister's drinking and verbal abuse persist, you may want to consider suspending contact until the behavior changes. Someone who keeps drinking despite signs of harm to their own health or relationships may be an alcoholic. They may try to blame others, perhaps even you, for their drinking, saying things like "I drink because you're always on my case!" Don't buy into it. He is the only one responsible for his behavior. Your responsibility lies in how you respond to that behavior.
