Google Bypassing User Privacy Settings
When the IE team heard that Google had bypassed user privacy settings on Safari, we asked ourselves a simple question: is Google circumventing the privacy preferences of Internet Explorer users too? We've discovered the answer is yes: Google is employing similar methods to get around the default privacy protections in IE and track IE users with cookies. Below we spell out in more detail what we've discovered, as well as recommendations to IE users on how to protect their privacy from Google with the use of IE9's Tracking Protection feature. We've also contacted Google and asked them to commit to honoring P3P privacy settings for users of all browsers.
We've found that Google bypasses the P3P Privacy Protection feature in IE. The result is similar to the recent reports of Google's circumvention of privacy protections in Apple's Safari Web browser, even though the actual bypass mechanism Google uses is different.
Internet Explorer 9 has an additional privacy feature called Tracking Protection which is not susceptible to this type of bypass. Microsoft recommends that customers who want to protect themselves from Google's bypass of P3P Privacy Protection use Internet Explorer 9 and click here to add a Tracking Protection List. Customers can find additional lists and information on this page.
Background: Google Bypassing Apple's Privacy Settings
A recent front page Wall Street Journal article described how Google "bypassed Apple browser settings for guarding privacy." The editor and CEO of Business Insider, a business news and analysis site, summarized the situation:
Google secretly developed a way to circumvent default privacy settings established by a… competitor, Apple… [and] Google then used the workaround to drop ad-tracking cookies on the Safari users, which is exactly the sort of practice that Apple was trying to prevent.
Third-party cookies are a common mechanism used to track what people do online. Safari protects its users from being tracked this way by a default user setting that blocks third-party cookies. Here's Business Insider's summary:
What Safari does NOT allow, by default, is for third-party … cookies on users' computers without their permission. It is these ad-tracking cookies that cause lots of Internet users to freak out that their privacy is being violated, so it's understandable that Apple decided to block them by default.
But these default settings have created a problem for Google, at least with respect to its goals for its advertising business.
Google's approach to third-party cookies seems to have the side effect of Safari believing they are first-party cookies.
What Happens in IE
By default, IE blocks third-party cookies unless the site presents a P3P Compact Policy Statement indicating how the site will use the cookie and that the site's use does not include tracking the user. Google's P3P policy causes Internet Explorer to accept Google's cookies even though the policy does not state Google's intent.
P3P, an official recommendation of the W3C Web standards body, is a Web technology that all browsers and sites can support. Sites use P3P to describe how they intend to use cookies and user information. By supporting P3P, browsers can block or allow cookies to honor user privacy preferences with respect to the site's stated intentions.
It's worth noting that users cannot easily access P3P policies. Web sites send these policies directly to Web browsers using HTTP headers. The only people who see P3P descriptions are technically skilled and use special tools, like the Cookie inspector in the Fiddler tool. For example, here is the P3P Compact Policy (CP) statement from Microsoft.com:
P3P: CP="ALL IND DSP COR ADM CONo CUR CUSo IVAo IVDo PSA PSD TAI TELo OUR SAMo CNT COM INT NAV ONL PHY PRE PUR UNI"
Each token (e.g. ALL, IND) has a specific meaning for a P3P-compliant Web browser. For example, 'SAMo' indicates that 'We [the site] share information with Legal entities following our practices,' and 'TAI' indicates 'Information may be used to tailor or modify content or design of the site where the information is used only for a single visit to the site and not used for any kind of future customization.' The details of privacy are complex, and the P3P standard is complex as well. You can read more about P3P here.
Technically, Google utilizes a nuance in the P3P specification that has the effect of bypassing user preferences about cookies. The P3P specification (in an attempt to leave room for future advances in privacy policies) states that browsers should ignore any undefined policies they encounter. Google sends a P3P policy that fails to inform the browser about Google's use of cookies and user information. Google's P3P policy is actually a statement that it is not a P3P policy. It's intended for humans to read even though P3P policies are designed for browsers to "read":
P3P: CP="This is not a P3P policy! See http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en\&answer=151657 for more info."
P3P-compliant browsers interpret Google's policy as indicating that the cookie will not be used for any tracking purpose or any purpose at all. By sending this text, Google bypasses the cookie protection and enables its third-party cookies to be allowed rather than blocked. The P3P specification ("4.2 Compact Policy Vocabulary") calls for IE's implemented behavior when handling unknown tokens: "If an unrecognized token appears in a compact policy, the compact policy has the same semantics as if that token was not present."
Similarly, it's worth noting section "3.2 Policies" from the P3P specification:
3.2 Policies
In cases where the P3P vocabulary is not precise enough to describe a Web site's practices, sites should use the vocabulary terms that most closely match their practices and provide further explanation in the
CONSEQUENCEfield and/or their human-readable policy. However, policies MUST NOT make false or misleading statements.
P3P is designed to support sites that convey their privacy intentions. Google's use of P3P does not convey those intentions in a manner consistent with the technology.
Because of the issues noted above, and the ongoing development of new mechanisms to track users that do not involve cookies, our focus is on the new Tracking Protection technology.
Next Steps
After investigating what Google sends to IE, we confirmed what we describe above. We have made a Tracking Protection List available that IE9 users can add by clicking here as a protection in the event that Google continues this practice. Customers can find additional lists and information on this page.
The premise of Tracking Protection in IE9 is that tracking servers never have the opportunity to use cookies or any other mechanism to track the user if the user never sends anything to a tracking server. This logic underlies why Tracking Protection blocks network requests entirely. This new technology approach is currently undergoing the standardization process at the W3C.
This blog post has additional information about IE's cookie controls, and shows how you can block all cookies from a given site (e.g. *.google.com) regardless of whether they are first- or third-party. This method of blocking cookies would not be subject to the methods Google used. We recommend that users not yet running IE9 take steps described in this post.
Given this real-world behavior, we are investigating what additional changes to make to our products. The P3P specification says that browsers should ignore unknown tokens. Privacy advocates involved in the original specification have recently suggested that IE ignore the specification and block cookies with unrecognized tokens. We are actively investigating that course of action.

Chemical Resistant Rubber Lining for Power Station Corrosion Protection
Rubber Lining is used to protect cooling water system equipment from corrosion.
Cooling water systems are an integral part of any power station including coal and gas fuelled plants. It is critical to the operation of power stations that these systems run continuously and efficiently. Cooling water systems are subjected to corrosion and need to be protected from chemical attacks by both acids and alkalis and also the effects of salt water cooling systems.
Chemical resistant rubber lining is used throughout power stations as a protective coating of steel surfaces from corrosion and wear. Rubber lining is used for equipment such as pumps, agitators and pipework throughout the cooling water systems. It can also be used to line pipes and storage tanks, for acids and alkalis used in cooling water demineralization systems.
Reglin supply a range of premium corrosion resistant natural and synthetic rubber linings for chemical protection. The type of rubber lining required is based on the design life required and is determined by the operating temperature, type and concentration of chemicals present. It is also critical in chemical lining applications, that the integrity of the rubber lining ensures that products have low permeability.
Reglin Lining rubber products are a high quality, long lasting solution for chemical resistant lining applications, reducing downtime and increasing the productivity of your equipment. Reglin's diverse range of rubber lining products, knowledge and experience, means we can always offer the best solution for your chemical resistant rubber lining application.

Take No Days Off, Persistence Pays Off (Bodybuilding)
May 30, 2011 by Shaun
Filed under The Fitness Bug
Ok, ok, ooook….
I've been building muscle again, for the past 8 months. From September till January I focused only on bodyweight exercises. And from January till present, it has been all gym work. Following routines such as those covered in this post
Bang for your buck weight training
Now, before I go on, I'd just like to remind you that Stay-Fit Bug is all about what can be done for YOU to improve your fitness goals. Not what I am able to do for myself. However, I am of course the lead motivator on this site along with the occasional guest poster. And of course, I have to be able to show you that the information on this site, when applied, WORKS!!!
Moving on
So, from September until January, I was able to increase my strength gains and muscle mass.
Strength = Exercise example: Dips – 3 x 10 reps >>> 3 x 10 reps +20kg weight plate
Muscle mass = 11.5 stone (Yes, I was underweight at this point) >>> 12.5 stone
With almost no noticeable fat gain.
The best part about this, is that I was able to do this with no gym membership. Just the man and a pull up bar + dip bar. Of course, the first month or so was tough. Now, the nutrition side of things was pretty simple. Just 'take no days off' and eat! But as we know, increasing the number of pull ups/chin ups that you can perform takes time. But once you break through a certain strength barrier, it's all fun and games from there on out.
Moving on in 2011
Now at this point, I decided that it was time to take my yearly break, as I didn't get to do that at Christmas time. Meeting back up with a few friends, and their response to my physical appearance was pure validation that what I was doing works. I mean, it always has done in the past, but it's good to know that the basics, when followed and applied just works.
And now you're wondering how I looked by January 2011 right?
Well, let's just play a little game of before and after
As you can see. Shaun Sinclair got, what everyone in this bodybuilding game likes to say… JACKED!!!!
Now, since taking this picture, everyone who follows me on and off of this site has put out the question.
"Shaun, are you really a hardgainer"?
My answer to that is no. I'm not a hardgainer. But, I am, like most people, a hard struggler.
You see, hardgainers, are for the most part, just under eaters. The only reason skinny folks are skinny is because they don't eat! Therefore, I like to re-label guys like myself 'hardstrugglers'. Because we can put on muscle mass, when following the basic bodybuilding rules. We just sometimes struggle to put muscle on in places where it really could make a difference. Such as calves or arms.
Any how, I'll let you judge the before and after pictures in the comments section below. (June pics coming soon :))
My stats since gyming it since January
Strength = It's waaay up. I'll cover this in detail in another post. But a simple pull up strength test I recently done = 25 pull ups straight! (I'll be doing a super video on this in due course)
Muscle mass = Again, very little body fat increase. Now weighing in at 13.5 stone (14lbs increase since January)
How have I been able to do this?
+ following a strict program, sleeping and going at max intensity in the gym.
I won't talk much more on this at present, but I will answer one simple question you may have.
Do I even need to go to the gym?
My answer to that is yes. The simple reason being that you have the right tools for the job at your disposal. Something I covered in detail in this post. Now, I will update you on my progress soon. But the point is that in order to get results, you just need to stick to it over time. And never fall victim to these bodybuilding errors that are keeping you skinny.
Building a body that is noticeably different in appearence isn't always easy, yes. And attending the gym is the clear solution. But for many of you it goes a little deep than that. And the video I'm about to leave you with explains things a little further to why you may be struggling to build muscle.
Watch it here >>> Kill the muscle building struggle

Tip Top Tips on How To Avoid Electrical AccidentsBobby Martin | April 22, 2018 | 0 | Computers & Electronics
According to the ERAC (Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council), 15 people die every year due to home related electrical accidents. In addition to that, around 300 people are hospitalized each year due to the same reason stated above. As these are accidents, these things mean that they can happen to any household including your own house. So, before calling the electrical service Perth has, read on to this article.
Electrical Wirings
On a report made by the DFES (Department of Fire and Emergency Services), around fifteen thousand residential fires are caused by faulty electrical wirings. Although this number is very alarming, most households take electrical wirings for granted. This is why these mishaps are so prevalent; basically because people fix it when it is too late. It is important to make sure that damaged and cut wires are replaced immediately. All octopus connections should be properly arranged to avoid short circuits. Additionally, every household should avoid overcrowding of wires to avoid accidents.
Electrical Outlets and Plugs
These two things might be minute in stature; however, they are common culprits when it comes to starting a fire. An electrical service Perth has as your choice should be able to ensure that water will not be able to penetrate them. Plugs should be tight as well to avoid fire and other accidents.
Extension Chords
In an ideal world, extension cords are not made to be a solution to your house's lack of electrical outlets. They should only serve as a temporary solution when you are not able to have them at the moment. If you don't know how to install electrical outlets, have the electrical service Perth has to install them for you. Make sure that the installed electrical outlets have safety covers and are water impenetrable especially during floods and plumbing mishaps.
Electrical Panel Boards
Electrical panel boards serve one purpose: to protect you and your family members from electrical accidents. However, if they fail, that means that your house is more vulnerable to electrical accidents. The panel board is usually composed of fuses and circuit breakers. Ensuring that they are functioning well will benefit you a lot because not only does it protect you from physical harm, it protects your appliances as well making you save money on buying new appliances due to accidents.
GFCI's or ground fault circuit interrupters shut off a whole electrical power circuit when it comes to contact with water or when it detects a current in an unintended path. Since water is a good conductor of electricity because it is a polar covalent compound, GFCI's (ground fault circuit interrupter) should be installed in wet areas. This is to make sure that it doesn't short circuit the whole house which can lead to fire.
Electrical accidents can be avoided if you know what to do in order to avoid them. Making sure that your house abides the standards that are mandated by the government might save you from accidents or even losing a loved one. Be vigilant and act right away if you see an irregularity in your house's electrical circuits because it is its way of telling you that there is something wrong.

California's Department of Fish and Game (DFG) lost three biologists on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, when the helicopter they were traveling in crashed in the Sierra National Forest. The men were conducting an aerial survey, studying deer behavior in Madera County, when their Bell 206 helicopter operated by Landells Aviation of Desert Hot Springs, crashed in the forest near Redinger Lake. Fire, started by the helicopter crash, delayed rescuers from getting to the crash site.
Killed in the crash were biologists Clu Cotter, DFG Associate Biologist, 48 years old, Kevin O'Connor, DFG Senior Biologist Supervisor, 40 years old, and Tom Stolberg, DFG Scientific Aid, 31 years old, all of Fresno. Helicopter pilot Dennis (Mike) Donovan was also killed in the crash.
The FAA has confirmed that the helicopter hit an unmarked power line. Power lines above 200 feet are required to be visibly marked. The FAA and NTSB are investigating.

Study: Depictions of Nature in Children's Books Down By Half Since 1960
When you settled into bed at night as a child, can you remember what your parents read to you? What were your favorite children's books and did you pass those vintage classics onto your kids? Where the Wild Things Are By Maurice Sendak and Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milne were certainly among my favorites. Creatures, animals, and humans seemed to live in a world where any separation could be lifted through a child's imagination.
But a new study published in the journal Sociological Inquiry is showing that children are becoming increasingly isolated from nature, which is evident from its depiction in children's books. An analysis of the 296 Caldecott Medal Award Winners from 1938-2008, found that overtime depictions of nature show up half as much as depictions of manmade environments. This listing of esteemed children's classics show that before 1960 depictions of the natural world and depictions of the manmade world were about equal.
An Up Close Look at the Caldecott Winners
Here's a listing of some of the esteemed children's books from 1938-1960:
1938: Animals of the Bible, A Picture Book , illustrated by Dorothy P. Lathrop; text: selected by Helen Dean Fish
1942: Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey
1944: Many Moons , illustrated by Louis Slobodkin; text: James Thurber
1946: The Rooster Crows by Maud & Miska Petersham
1947: The Little Island , illustrated by Leonard Weisgard; text: Golden MacDonald, pseud. [Margaret Wise Brown]
1948: White Snow, Bright Snow , illustrated by Roger Duvoisin; text: Alvin Tresselt
1949: The Big Snow by Berta & Elmer Hader
1950: Song of the Swallows by Leo Politi
1951: The Egg Tree by Katherine Milhous
Caldecott Winners After 1960
After 1960 the number of books about animals, playing outside, and nature seems to diminish as seen below:
1960: Nine Days to Christmas , illustrated by Marie Hall Ets; text: Marie Hall Ets and Aurora Labastida
1969: The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship , illustrated by Uri Shulevitz; text: retold by Arthur Ransome
1986: The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg
1993: Mirette on the High Wire by Emily Arnold McCully
1996: Officer Buckle and Gloria by Peggy Rathmann
2000: Joseph Had a Little Overcoat by Simms Taback
2001: So You Want to Be President? Illustrated by David Small; text by Judith St. George
2004: The Man Who Walked Between the Towers by Mordicai Gerstein
Children Increasingly Isolated From Nature
After 1960, the emphasis seems to move from the natural world surrounding us, to it being a much smaller part of a child's perspective. While a newer genre, environmentalism in children's books, has sprung up, mainstream illustrations of the natural world are less and less available to our kids. It shows a separation and a lack of understanding of the planet.
"These findings suggest that today's generation of children are not being socialized, at least through this source, toward an understanding and appreciation of the natural world and the place of humans within it," the authors wrote, reported on Yake Environment 360.

Exclusive:EX- Oyo NURTW boss,Tokyo sets stage for comeback attempt.
YEARS after losing his seat in a stunning crisis, the former deposed Chairman of National Union of Road Transport Workers, (NURTW), Oyo State Council, Alhaji Lateef Akinsola popularly called Tokyo is making atypical surreptitious moves to regain power, Mega Icon Magazine exclusively gathered.
Our further checks revealed that the embattled ex-NURTW boss, Akinsola, who visited the state governor, Abiola Ajimobi at the Government House, Agodi, Ibadan on the eve of Sunday May 28th, 2017 to break fast, also desperately seeking for the governor's assistance to reinstate him.
Tokyo, who claimed he had court judgement in his favour pleaded with the governor for several hours, which was turned down.
It would be recalled that the Oyo state government in 2011 inaugurated a five-man judicial commission of enquiry to investigate the protracted crisis in the state chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers which claimed several lives, including Anwal Bala Shannon, a 500 level medical student of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, at Iwo road area of Ibadan, the state capital.
The panel which had a retired high court judge, Justice Olagoke Ige, as the chairman, was told that the government resolved to investigate the NURTW crisis because it could no longer fold its hands while some people continued to portray the state as a state of touts and hooligans.
Also, the probe panel with eight weeks to conclude its assignment was given the mandate to investigate the immediate and remote causes of the violent clash, to identify those individuals and or groups that precipitated and or participated in the crisis either directly or indirectly, and recommend appropriate sanctions to be imposed on the identified culprits and to make appropriate recommendations on how to prevent recurrence among others.
However, the state governor, Abiola Ajimobi proscribed the then NURTW which was under the firm control of rivalry leaders – Alhaji Lateef Akinsola (Tokyo) and Alhaji Mukaila Lamidi (Auxiliary) respectively.
This development led to the emergence of Alhaji Taofeek Oyerinde (Fele), who is currently occupying the seat for a second term.
Mega Icon Magazine also gathered that the ex-NURTW captain, Alhaji Akinsola nominated the present occupant, Alhaji Oyerinde, one of his loyal aides, who has been able to control the affairs of the union without rancor.
COVID-19: SON moves to harmonise locally produced ventilators to meet global standards
The Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) on Wednessday disclosed that it has begun harmonising the production of ventilators developed across the country to conform with the international standards toward containing COVID-19 pandemic.
SON's Director-General, Osita Aboloma, made this disclosure in a statement in Lagos, following the unveiling of locally manufactured ventilators produced by Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro in Ogun.
SON's DG, who was represented by its Ogun Office 1 Coordinator, Mr Jerome Umoru, was at the unveiling.
SON urged various inventors to ensure compliance with ISO 5080601/2/12/3020 and Medical Electrical Equipment part 11 for clinical care.
He noted that adherence to the standard will ensure ease during the process of conformity assessment and product certification.
He stressed that the certification of locally produced ventilators, air purifiers and hand sanitiser machines would put the nation in its pride of place globally.
"We are partnering with the institute in ensuring that various machines produced in the country meet the required standards so as not to end up in the shelves," Aboloma said.
He also added that the standards body of the unification was also aimed at saving the nation's foreign exchange spent on importation of ventilators to fights against COVID-19.
Aboloma advised private sector investment in such innovations to enable inventors to go through the next stages of clinical trials and obtain the Nigerian Industrial Standard (NIS) mark.
He reiterated SON's support toward sustaining local production of essential materials to fight the COVID-19 pandemic through quality assurance.
"In our efforts to address the ongoing pandemic, we have diligently assigned officers to inspect the ventilators and alcohol-based hand sanitisers under production.
"We have one common standard for each product. We want to ensure that what we are producing meets the standard and once it does, we will certify it.
"We will also continue to monitor activities so that they do not rest on their oars in producing quality goods.
"I have presented a copy of the Standard to the Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, and it is the 'golden rule," he said.
SON promised that the moment the institute was able to meet the basic parameter on requirements, certification of the innovations would be fast tracked.
"SON is ready to partner with all technical institutions, especially those involved in the production of life saving equipment and materials at this time.
"This is so that their products will meet minimum requirements of the relevant Nigerian Industrial Standards (NIS), and undergo certification under the Mandatory Conformity Assessment Programme (MANCAP) scheme," he said.
The SON director-general revealed that in no distant time, consumers would be empowered through product authentication scheme to determine the quality and conformance of products at the point of purchase.
He said that those without necessary certifications would be rejected.
Just In: Makinde distributes palliatives to persons living with disabilities
The governor, who stated this at the Governor's Office, Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan during the distribution of palliatives to PWDs, maintained that pretenders and impersonators will never again be allowed to take what rightly belongs to PWDs in the state.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Makinde, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, indicated that the distribution of palliatives to PWDs is the third phase of the palliatives distribution in the state, with the state having distributed palliatives to 90,000 poorest of the poor households as well as the distribution of seedlings, herbicides, pesticides and other farm inputs to 10,000 farmers in the first and second phases.
In his speech, the governor reiterated his promise to set up an agency for persons with disabilities, noting that his administration has not forgotten its commitment in that regard.
He added that the agency will be in place before the administration's second anniversary in office.
He said: "When I walked in here this morning, I thought of the pictures in my archive. We have all met. We have all taken pictures together. So, you are not new to me and I am not new to you. It is just the continuation of the relationship that we started, even before I became the governor of this state.
"The bottom line is that, before now, we went into the records and we saw that every time you say you are putting up a programme for the people living with disabilities, you only have 20 per cent of the data being correctly presented. About 80 per cent will just be able-bodied people taking benefits that belong to the people living with disabilities. But we have been able to crack that and solve it. So, never again will pretenders or impersonators in Oyo State take what rightly belongs to people with disabilities.
"When we said they should bring names of persons living with disabilities for them to be included in the administration at the local level, some people thought we would not check. So, they brought the names of able-bodied people. We called and asked around and discovered that it was the names of able-bodied people that were submitted. So, we removed their names.
"I want to use this opportunity to thank you for your support during the election and the present administration. We made promises during the electioneering and promised to involve you in every facet of this administration and we are on that path.
"This is the third phase of palliatives distribution. The first stage is for the poorest of the poor amongst us. We distributed palliatives just like this to 90,000 households. Some who are farmers called me and said we should give them seedlings to increase their productivity when they get to their various farms. We listened to them and, in the second phase, we distributed seedlings to the farmers.
"Now, this is the third phase, which is for the vulnerable within us and it will be for 30,000 households. So, we are flagging it off with yourselves because you are among the vulnerable in our society."
Governor Makinde, who stated that he was aware that his promise to set up an agency for PWDs has not been fulfilled, said the promise will come to fruition, as he has kept a record of all the promises he made during the electioneering.
He implored the PWDs to continue to adhere to the directives of the Oyo State Task Force on COVID-19.
Speaking in the same vein, the Executive Adviser to the governor on Agribusiness, Dr. Debo Akande, said the event was a reflection of Governor Makinde's commitment to ensuring equity and equality in the running of the state, adding that with the governor, all citizens and residents of the state are equal.
He maintained that the food security and emergency committee, which is in charge of palliatives distribution, did due diligence to ensure that all persons present at the event had their data checked and clarified.
Nigerian army kills boko haram top commanders
Nigerian army troops of the Operation Lafiya Dole have killed top Boko Haram terrorists in an operation in the northeast according to the Defence Headquarters.
Major General John Enenche, the Coordinator of Defence Media Operations, confirmed this in a statement on Wednesday.
He revealed that the death of the insurgents followed a failed "attack on troops' location at Banki Junction and Response Area Firgi within the 7 Division Strike Group."
He also added that the terrorists who met their waterloo were some high ranking Commanders of the Abubakar Shekau's faction of the Boko Haram terrorist's group.
The statement read, "Consequently, troops of Operation LAFYA DOLE carried out a counter-attack against the terrorists on the 26th of May 2020. After the attack, human intelligence confirmed the death of some high ranking Commanders of the Abubakar Shekau's faction of the Boko Haram terrorist' group.
"The BHT/ISWAP Commanders that were killed include Manzar Halid, Amir Abu Fatima and Nicap among others.
"Additionally, Seventy-two (72) members of the sect were also neutralised. Others wounded with narrow chances of survival include some high profile Commanders and fighters namely: Abu Jamratu AL-Naweer, Kaka Bana and Tareta Babakari,".
Also, Enenche said a large number of their equipment which included gun trucks, motorcycles and bicycles were destroyed by troops in collaboration with the Air Task Force.

Okay, so what do you think? The Equus Bass 770 was unveiled at this year's Detroit auto show.
The Equus Bass 770 resembles real American Muscle, the company's fastback muscle car evoking memories of the 1960s and '70s and they claim it has 640 hp!
The Bass 770's engine is a 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 featuring 640 hp and 605 lb.-ft. of torque, (it's the LS9 from a Corvette ZR1), capable of doing 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and reaching a top speed of 200 mph… Not too shabby!!!
Okay, here is the catch… The fully equipped 2015 EQUUS BASS770 will cost you $250,000, ouch!!!
Let us know your thoughts… Is this a winner or a looser? Would you buy one if you had the cash?

I'm not that impressed, don't get me wrong, it's a nice car but I think with this, it's all about the collector.
Too many old Mustang features! For starters the door handles, and when they closed the door in the video, it sounded just like my old 1968 Mustang, doesn't sound solid enough. And the rear-view side mirrors. You'd think with a price tag $ like this $250,000 they could have come up with a much better retro design for this modern age! Sh_t; you could build a much nicer Muscle Car for a lot less money!

I knew it had been awhile since I had been on my blog. I didn't realize that it had been since January 23rd. Wow ~ you all probably thought that I forgot about it. Well, to be honest, I have not forgot about all of you, but I have been busy. It has been a rough winter for us. I have been busy and since this is the first time Cameron has ever been in pre-school/daycare he has been sick non-stop all winter long. He starts getting better and then for some reason or another he gets sick again. It has definitely been a challenge to say the least.
Some good news to share with all of you is that my follow-up ultrasound that was done on my right ovary turned up nothing. I was so relieved and gave all the glory to God for those results. I also had a follow-up appt. on the spot that they found on my lung and my pulmonary doctor said that she is 99.9% sure that it is a benign nodule that the majority of Ohioans have on their lungs. She said that there is something in our dirt here in Ohio that creates these nodules on our lungs. Since I don't smoke, never have smoked and don't ever plan on smoking with no history of lung cancer…..she said that they will just continue to monitor it and watch it for awhile. So, I was relieved over those results as well. God is good!!
So, do you remember my previous post? My sister gave me this cupboard and she wanted me to re-finish it. I was happy to re-finish it for her and these are the results.
Big improvement ~ don't ya think? I thought it looked so much better.
I also wanted to take a moment to share a few other things with you. I just recently purchased an old scale from my Mom's friend Sara. If you haven't checked out Sara's Herbs & Everlasting then be sure to do so. She has changed her shop up a little bit and is now selling lots of antiques. She has plenty of great goodies. Here is my scale that I purchased from her.
Here is a close-up…..
Gotta love the rust!! I know that when she posted the scale on her site….. I quickly sent her an e-mail and told her that I wanted it. Now I just need to find a stud to put it in. I will be sure to post pics of it after I have found the perfect spot. Stay Tuned!!
My last item that I wanted to share with you was this beautiful chair. It came from my Dad's side of the family. It was found in an old barn many many years back. It was in awful shape, but my Dad kept it and stripped the varnish off of it. I plan on re-finishing it by staining it with Dark Walnut stain and then displaying it in my bedroom. Don't you love it? I just think it is so pretty and the detail on the chair is just prim perfect. Let's take a look ~ shall we?
It was in pretty bad shape and you can see where there was some water damage, but I think once I stain it then it will be as good as new. Wow ~ just look at that detail.
Well, stay tuned for the make-over on that beauty. I am sure it will be amazing!! Hope you all have a blessed week. Until Next Time….. Lisa

Chaos Knights and Beast Shaman
Vorghan the Slayer and will be taking part in a mini campaign, some time soon (I hope). The rest of Vorghan's retinue were already snow based, at some point I will get the whole lot photographed and explain a little more.
It's interesting to see these old figures. At times it feels like nothing has changed down the years, but looking at older work does show that my painting has altered. I would certainly paint these figures differently today - a different palette and using different techniques. They are nice enough, but do not have quite the impact or finesse I would aim for nowadays. I guess that is no bad thing.

In order to make living at Deerfield as comfortable as possible, students have virtually all their needs covered on campus, including several campus stores and cafes and laundry services. The surrounding area offers a diverse range of places of worship, restaurants, movie theaters, and other services and attractions.
To help students feel at home, peer counselors, proctors, and other student leaders are available to ease the transition to boarding school life. And of course the Deerfield faculty–who serve not only as teachers, but also as dorm parents, coaches, and advisors–are always happy to help.

The executions of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg in 1953 have gotten a fresh look in the past two years. An association of historians and journalists have unearthed the long-secret grand jury transcripts from the Rosenberg case after years of litigation. Their findings have been released by trickles on a website and in a few short news articles in America's daily papers.
Most living Americans probably don't know much about the Rosenberg case. Perhaps all they know is that it was a case of a man and wife accused of spying or leaking some of America's atomic secrets to the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Most who know that much are probably aware that there has been controversy surrounding the case for decades. Since the 1950s, opinions about the Rosenberg executions have tracked closely with peoples' political views. Those on the Left have long thought the Rosenberg prosecution represented bare-knuckled McCarthyesque hysteria, while those on the right have generally viewed the Rosenberg case to have been a soundly proven case of espionage.
The recent grand jury revelations provide fodder for both positions. On the one hand, they shatter all doubts about whether Julius Rosenberg was a Communist spy. He was. His own sons, Michael and Robert Meeropol, who have long been champions of their parents' exonerations, have partially recanted and resigned themselves to the reality that at least their father really was a committed Communist spy in common cause with the Soviet Union. It is now undeniable that Julius Rosenberg and Martin Sobell forwarded certain military information to the Soviets (although not the atomic secrets that allowed Russia to produce atomic bombs — those secrets were transmitted by high-ranking U.S. government officials, including the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury). On the other hand, the transcripts reveal that Ethel Rosenberg was almost certainly innocent of the crimes she was executed for committing. It appears that Ethel's conviction was the result of perjured testimony by two government witnesses — her brother- and sister-in-law, David and Ruth Greenglass — who both testified at trial that Ethel Rosenberg had typed up notes regarding U.S. military systems provided by David Greenglass from the U.S. National Laboratory at Las Alamos. In her recently unearthed 1950 grand jury testimony, Ruth Greenglass admitted it was she (Greenglass) — and not Ethel Rosenberg — who transcribed the notes, and in handwritten form.

The differing versions of events described in the 1950 grand jury hearings (which were secret) and the 1951 trial proceedings cannot be reconciled. Ruth Greenglass changed her story between the grand jury hearings and the trial so as to falsely implicate Ethel Rosenberg. We know from several accounts that lawyers for the Justice Department coerced, threatened and coached the witnesses for days before the Rosenberg trial. The government's star witness, Harry Gold, had been prepped by four hundred hours of coaching by prosecutors and FBI agents. The Feds apparently charged Ethel solely to coerce Julius into confessing — which he refused to do. Prosecutors then fabricated the story that Ethel had typed up some atomic secrets from notes provided by David Greenglass in order to bolster their otherwise shoddy case against her. The prosecutor said in closing arguments that Ethel "sat at that typewriter and struck the keys, blow by blow, against her country" — the words that are most remembered from the trial.
Lost in the discussion of the transcripts has been their astounding revelations regarding the grand jury process itself. How could it take 50 years to reveal these government lies? How could the government conceal for half a century evidence that material testimony in one of the most closely watched trials of the twentieth century was perjured? The grand jury revelations highlight the fact that the grand jury process in the United States — especially at the federal level — has been hijacked by the government.
Ironically, the recent release of the Rosenberg grand jury transcripts is a major break from contemporary practice. It is highly unusual for federal courts to order federal grand jury transcripts to be made public — especially after cases are closed. Federal courts have even punished a reporter for airing the names of witnesses who testified three decades earlier in Jim Garrison's grand jury investigation of President Kennedy's assassination.
The grand jury is an ancient common law institution whose original purpose was to protect people from the prosecutorial power of the government. Under the Fifth Amendment, the Constitution's Framers intended that no criminal charges could ever be initiated by the government alone. A citizen panel of 23 people (more or less) was supposed to act as an obstacle to prosecutors and ensure that any prosecution be preapproved by common people. Yet today most commentators agree that the government can get any grand jury to "indict a ham sandwich." Federal "indictment rates" greater than 99 percent have been reported in some years. In 2001, federal grand juries declined to indict in only 21 cases nationwide. "These numbers suggest that, whatever the reason, the federal grand jury now exercises very little power as a shield between the government and its citizens."

The story of how this once-proud institution fell under the control of the very prosecutors it was supposed to control is a long and tragic one. During the nineteenth century, all three branches of government joined together to silence and deaden the institution. Over time, it became common for government prosecutors to be present in grand jury hearings (a practice strictly forbidden at the time of the Founding), and eventually prosecutors became managers of the proceedings. In 1946, all three branches approved the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, which purported to codify for the first time the common law rules that govern criminal procedure at the federal level. The rules pertaining to grand jury practice, however, were deliberately altered to evade the plain language of the Fifth Amendment ("No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury").
A presentment is an independent statement of a grand jury not necessarily approved by a prosecutor. For centuries before the enactment of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, grand juries would issue presentments exposing government misconduct or accusing people of crimes known to the grand jurors themselves. Occasionally, grand juries issued presentments that openly proclaimed a person's innocence in defiance of the government's allegations. The government rule-makers in 1946 deliberately and calculatingly eliminated the possibility of a federal grand juries issuing non-government-approved statements or conclusions of any kind. Since 1946, any publicized presentments by federal grand jurors have been prohibited as violations of grand jury "secrecy" rules. Indeed, grand jurors that release statements of any kind are now subject to possible five-year prison sentences.
By the time of the Rosenberg case, the grand jury process had been transformed into a rubber stamp for the government. Federal prosecutors now dispense all evidence, witnesses and testimony to grand jurors, who then retire to a deliberation room to vote on whether to issue indictments. Because the grand jurors are only given the government's version of events and are generally unable to investigate matters on their own (like grand juries did from the Founding period through the end of the nineteenth century), they almost always vote according to the Justice Department's wishes. In rare instances when grand juries refuse to indict, federal prosecutors simply present their same claims to a second (or third, fourth or fifth) grand jury until an indictment is issued. In such cases, prosecutors have been known to lie to the later grand juries by falsely telling them that the first grand jury wanted to indict but ran out of time, etc. There is never any punishment meted out for such lies.

And there is more. The Federal Rules strip grand jurors of their rightful control over the recordings of grand jury testimony, notes, and "any transcript prepared from those notes." Rule 6(e) places all grand jury transcripts in the hands of the U.S. Attorneys Office, giving an awesome power to the government never known under the common law. Even federal judges don't have easy access to the transcripts. In recent decades, prosecutors have perfected the practices of granting immunity to selected witnesses, denying it to others, concealing inconvenient testimony or evidence from the public and generally leveraging facts and accusations into an overwhelming advantage over targeted defendants. Defense attorneys, not even aware of what is said in the transcripts, are usually unable to challenge them.
What's more, the U.S. Supreme Court has assured that this machine of tyranny can virtually never be challenged. In two cases since the 1970s, the Court has held that grand jury improprieties are never appealable after conviction and can only be challenged in the most unusual circumstances via interlocutory appeal (an extremely rare and disfavored pretrial device). Of course, defense lawyers are systematically deprived of the means to make such challenges because the prosecutors keep all evidence of the improprieties in their own hands, and courts of appeals almost never grant hearings for interlocutory appeals in criminal cases even if by miracle some evidence of grand jury misconduct surfaces.
You & the Police! Best Price: $2.00 Buy New $61.09 (as of 06:20 EST - Details)
It is noteworthy that the very grand jury secrecy that now prevents grand jurors from revealing prosecutorial misconduct — the same secrecy that kept the Ruth Greenglass perjury in the Rosenberg case concealed from the public for 50 years — now operates as a mockery of the original intent behind grand jury privacy. Under the common law, grand jury secrecy was a protection for grand jurors from intimidation by the government. It is said to have first arisen in England in 1681 when the King demanded that a grand jury indict his rivals — the Earl of Shaftesbury and Steven Colledge — for treason. The grand jury won the right to hold its proceedings in secret — away from the watchful eyes of the Crown prosecutor. For two and a half centuries afterward, grand juries had the right to operate in secret — but to waive secrecy and issue public presentments when they concluded their investigations. Today, however, the Federal Rules place the prosecutor directly within the grand jury room and expose any grand jurors who expose governmental improprieties to possible five-year prison sentences.
If the Justice Department's libraries of grand jury transcripts were ever thrown open to public scrutiny, they would speak of prosecutorial misconduct on a massive scale. We know this because those few cases such as the Rosenberg case in which grand jury proceedings have been unsealed have revealed a level of misconduct and abuse by prosecutors that can only be described as systematic and pervasive. One federal judge recently wrote that in twenty-three years of occasionally examining grand jury transcripts to resolve pretrial motions, he had never once seen a case where prosecutors gave grand juries accurate legal instructions.
For all its infamy and notoriety, the Rosenberg case is fairly typical of the systematic injustice that federal criminal law has degenerated into. As with so many other federal cases, the most guilty and loathsome characters (e.g., Ruth and David Greenglass) went unpunished or were given light sentences, while minor players — Julius and Ethel Rosenberg — were prosecuted to the max. The government's most fearsome prosecutions were and are reserved for those who refused to ally themselves with the state. David Greenglass, who was caught red-handed and quickly became a government witness to save his own skin, watched as his own lies sent his innocent sister to the electric chair. And, of course, the federal prosecutors who suborned perjury in the same case were lauded as great heroes. One of them became a justice on the New York Supreme Court.

text: For many years, archaeologists questioned the existence of a real city named Nineveh. Later, scholars found it and confirmed that there really was a place called Nineveh. Of course, if someone [like me] makes a presuppositional decision to believe what is in the Scriptures, it all puts us ahead of the game, because God is smarter than the archaeologists. There are some smart archaeologists out there, some of them are my friends, but God is smarter still.

|Driving through the lot: the 2-story section to the right
was recently added-on since the last time I've been here.
|Driving up. Tip: come early because it's REALLY quiet when they open at 9 a.m.
|Waking inside and coming face-to-face with lots of soda! Everything is (mostly) organized by flavor.
The boxes to the left are for customers to load up. (Sorry for the blurry photos - I was holding my 1.5-yr-old.)
|More sodas.
|This is pretty much ALL ROOT BEER!
|A lot of Cola and Grape sodas.
|"Novelty" sodas - I didn't get anything too strange this trip.
Beyond the sodas is all the candy. And meat. And apples. And baked goods. They have everything.
|Apparently, you make "apple smoked pork" by putting an apple in
a pig's mouth and letting it smoke a cigar. Who knew?
|Lots of treats, and lots of puzzles on high shelves along the ceiling.
|This is inside the addition. It's not 2 stories, it just has a high ceiling.
|Treats below and TONS of puzzles above. They had a 32,000 piece puzzle
that was something like 6' x 17' when finished.
|Licorice and puzzles.
|From the back corner of the new addition.
|My 2 cases of sodas loaded into my car: 1 assorted case (a lot of grape, cherry, and black cherry),
and 1 case that's mostly root beer with a few sarsaparillas thrown in as well.
|Hoping back on Hwy 169 to leave. Until next time. Love you. Miss you. XOXO
Oh, and notice how many cars are now in the lot an hour after they opened. There were a lot more cars off the frame to the right too. It definitely got busier as we were there. Stop by early around 9 (when they open). And FYI: they say they close at 8 pm, but they'll stay open as late as 10 pm if there are people still around.
