The sea otter (Enhydra lutris) is a marine mammal native to the coasts of the northern and eastern North Pacific Ocean. Adult sea otters typically weigh between 14 and 45 kg (30 to 100 lb), making them the heaviest members of the weasel family, but among the smallest marine mammals. Unlike most marine mammals, the sea otter's primary form of insulation is an exceptionally thick coat of fur, the densest in the animal kingdom. Although it can walk on land, the sea otter lives mostly in the ocean. The sea otter is one of the smallest marine mammal species but is the heaviest mustelid. Male sea otters usually 22 to 45 kg (49 to 99 lb) and are 1.2 to 1.5 m (4 to 5 ft) in length, though specimens to 54 kg (119 lb) have been recorded. Females are smaller, weighing 14 to 33 kg (30 to 73 lb) and measuring 1.0 to 1.4 m (3 ft 3 in to 4 ft 7 in) in length. Its baculum is, for the male otter's size, very large, massive and bent upwards, measuring 150 mm (6 in) in length and 15 mm wide (0.6 in) at the base. Unlike most other marine mammals, the sea otter has no blubber and relies on its exceptionally thick fur to keep warm. Sea otters consume over 100 different prey species. In most of its range, the sea otter's diet consists almost exclusively of marine invertebrates, including sea urchins, a variety of bivalves such as clams and mussels, abalone, other mollusks, crustaceans, and snails. Its prey ranges in size from tiny limpets and crabs to giant octopuses.
Pakicetus is an extinct genus of amphibious cetacean of the family Pakicetidae, which was endemic to Pakistan during the Eocene. The vast majority of paleontologists regard it as the most basal whale. Based on the skull sizes of specimens, and to a lesser extent on composite skeletons, species of Pakicetus are thought to have been 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) in length. Pakicetus looked very different from modern cetaceans, and its body shape more resembled those of land dwelling, hoofed mammals. Unlike all later cetaceans, it had four fully functional, long legs. Pakicetus had a long snout; a typical complement of teeth that included incisors, canines, premolars, and molars; a distinct and flexible neck; and a very long and robust tail. As in most land mammals, the nose was situated at the tip of the snout. Reconstructions of pakicetids that followed the discovery of composite skeletons often depicted them with fur; however, given their close relationships with hippos, they more likely had sparse body hair. The first fossil found consisted of an incomplete skull with a skull cap and a broken mandible with some teeth. Based on the detail of the teeth, the molars suggest that the animal could rend and tear flesh. Wear, in the form of scrapes on the molars indicated that Pakicetus ground its teeth as it chewed its food. Because of the toothwear, Pakicetus is thought to have eaten fish and small animals. The teeth also suggest that Pakicetus had herbivorous and omnivorous ancestors.

close match between both but due to large jaw i would give edge to pakicetus.

Sea otters are tough critters plus they are no push over and there is one even killing an aligator snapping turtle. The pakicetus, however, has wider jaws and can give the otter a good bite.
Skull size is like mini-skirts, shows a lot of things but does not show what is essentially.
Even sir alex ferguson supports otter..

Otters are agile animals regardless. Wonder if they would see the pakicetus like they would view a wolf or coyote?

Escalator collision issues This isn't a big bug, but I'm letting you know anyway. Description of bug: you can slide and get stuck on the elevator rails on the warsaw map Game build ID: 3621295 Steps to reproduce: Jump on one rail, then either get stuck, or slide off the side. Additonal info: When zooming in with a special/IR scope, the screen is not displayed as IR, but behaves as in the sniper scope video. The direction you are looking does not appear to change the direction you are sliding; you can slide backwards. It is possible to do a sick slide where you slide halfway on the first one and then switch to the lower one, without falling down, as I do in the video. >Just see the videos The videos are unlisted and can be removed. Thank you for reading!
I understand that the developers have worked on PTE, and perhaps in the future (when the online will grow up) PTE will be needed. But in my opinion, it now divides our small community into two parts that hurts both the players and the developers themselves. So, I decided to do a poll to find out what the majority thinks about it. If you have an opinion different from the choices in this poll, write about it in the comments and I will add it. UPD. I forgot to say that PTE failed in her task at the update 0.3 there were many technical problems that we are still fighting. I don`t want to say that PTE is bad thing, conversely, but in current situation (many problems + low online) PTE is excess measure NOW. When the online will grow up, then PTE may be returned.
There are not enough people on PTE, we need more people on it because it is the most updated version of the game. Just install the PTE, it is a separate client now, so you can have the original game and the PTE, for when you want to test out new features. Also, the PTE is the devs playground, so all tests and changed will go live there first. But as of now there is like 5-8 players on it every day, that is very poor. We should triple that at least, so that we can get some decent matches going, I mean they even have a server browser now, go try it.


For the last 4 years we've been building an 1100 square foot recording studio. This is not my job; I'm the wife, but I was home, while my husband worked. Thus I had to learn and translate all that weird knowledge in his head to those I was working with. This is a record of that journey.
My husband is a sound engineer, musician, IT man, and generally a jack of all trades. I don't have these same qualities, but we do fight over who gets to be in charge of the power tools and I love projects, I love playing foreman. My husband apparently has been dreaming and designing this studio since high school. As a young professional fresh out of college he began to have the means to buy "toys" and convert bedrooms in his rented houses to control rooms for mixing and living rooms into tracking spaces. When we married he brought a significant amount of equipment into the marriage, and a passion that this was an occupation he wanted to continue. In the 1965 home we had just bought, we converted the dining room into a decent control room. Those simple bass traps were my first experience with mineral wool and the electric turkey carver knife that has lasted us for 12 years (slicing mineral wool, duct board, and of course 703 Owens Corning- it just died, I don't yet have the heart to trash it).
When we got to design our current home, we left unfinished space upstairs with future intentions to build the long awaited studio, in say 10 years. Yea- so that time table got changed. We were presented with the opportunity about 7 months after we moved into our new home to build out the bones of the studio. Wow! So yikes, let's get started.

La frontière entre la Guinée et la Sierra Leone est la frontière séparant la Guinée et la Sierra Leone.

Histoire
Le 28 juin 1882, la France et la Grande-Bretagne signèrent un traité délimitant une frontière entre la Sierra Leone et la Guinée, se terminant à l'intérieur des terres en un point indéterminé ; un autre traité du 10 août 1889 prolongea la frontière plus à l'est ; cette frontière fut ensuite à nouveau prolongée par un traité du 21 janvier 1895 jusqu'aux environs de Timbekundu, puis démarquée sur le terrain de décembre 1895 à mai 1896 ; cette démarcation fut finalement approuvée par un échange de notes diplomatiques en juin 1898. Entre-temps, la frontière entre la Guinée française et le Liberia avait été modifiée en septembre 1907-1901, de même que la frontière entre le Liberia et la Sierra Leone en janvier 1911, prolongeant ainsi la frontière entre la Guinée française et la Sierra Leone plus au sud. La Grande-Bretagne et la France confirmèrent la nouvelle ligne frontalière entre la Guinée française et la Sierra Leone en juin 1911 et signèrent un traité à cet effet le 4 septembre 1913.

La Guinée française a accédé à l'indépendance en 1958, suivie par la Sierra Leone en 1961, et la frontière est alors devenue celle de deux États souverains. Durant la Guerre civile sierraléonaise (1991-2001), des troubles sont survenus dans la ville frontalière de Yenga, incitant la Guinée à franchir la frontière et à occuper la ville. Le différend a été réglé en 2013 et la ville est depuis retournée sous le contrôle de la Sierra Leone.

Continuous Improvement in Monitoring with Prometheus 2.0
November 9, 2017 0 ♥53
Monitoring is the backbone of any good production environment. The Prometheus monitoring system, a project hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), has rapidly gained popularity for containerized infrastructure and application monitoring alike, and it's taking its next step forward.
It seems a short while ago that Prometheus achieved its first significant milestone with release 1.0 which embarked with a broad set of features that make up Prometheus' simple yet extremely powerful monitoring philosophy. Since then, each subsequent release added and improved on various service discovery integrations, extensions to PromQL, and experimented with a first iteration on remote APIs to enable pluggable long-term storage solutions.
Prometheus has a simple and robust operational model that their users have learned to love. Yet, the infrastructure space did not stand still and projects like Kubernetes and Mesos are rapidly changing how software is being deployed and managed. Monitored environments are increasingly becoming more dynamic. It took three alphas, six betas, and three release candidates for the official 2.0 release of Prometheus. Let's have a look at what has changed in this latest major release.
The Storage Challenge
Highly detailed metrics instrumentation across all layers of the stack, e.g. the status of containers, the requests flowing through them is the philosophy behind monitoring with Prometheus. Prometheus even captures the deep internals of the applications running inside of them which is explorable through the metrics powered by a powerful query language to help aggregate these metrics into actionable insights. Prometheus is fundamentally designed to collect and store data as time series and sequence of timestamped data points collected at regular intervals; this can easily result in thousands or more time series exposed for each running container and application in the monitored infrastructure. When you are running thousands of containers it may even result in millions of time series being tracked across a cluster.
Although there is roughly fixed amount of time series that are actively being tracked, the constant innovation in the continuous deployments, auto-scaling, and scheduling of batch jobs makes it really easy to continuously destroy containers and create new ones with orchestration tools like Kubernetes and Mesos leading to a continuously growing total history of time series data that is accessible to Prometheus with potentially billions of time-series records.
Over the course of the release, the independent time series database for Prometheus has been stabilized and re-integrated into Prometheus itself. The result is a significantly better performing Prometheus 2.0 with improvements along virtually all dimensions. With the inverted index, inspired by full text search, the storage engine is written to provide fast lookups across the arbitrary dimensions that time-series within Prometheus may have. With an all new disk format, Prometheus 2.0 is resilient to crashes featuring a good collocation of related time series data and write-ahead log. Query latency is more consistent and it especially scales better in the face of high series churn. Resource consumption has decreased significantly, as measured in different real-world production scenarios.
Improved Benchmarks
Prometheus 2.0 deployments have provided impressive results with the latest storage engine upgrade. The new indexing approach lowers the query latency and provides a more consistent approach which greatly reduces the resource consumption without compromising stability. It also significantly lowers the amount of data written to the disk increasing the lifetime of storage devices while lowering costs when there is high series churn. Even when using the same time series compression algorithm, Prometheus 2.0 provides significant disk space savings and maintains the stable performance and significantly more responsive queries.
Database Snapshot Backups
Prometheus 2.0 also comes with built-in support for more frequently requested feature of snapshot backups for the entire database through a simple native API call:
$ curl -XPOST http:///api/v2/admin/tsdb/snapshot
{"name":"2017-11-08T21:44:35Z-3f7a688bb002e56d"}
Upon request, the snapshot is located in a directory, there is also support for snapshots to be uploaded to an archive store. One can easily move the snapshot to the new server's data directory and start a new Prometheus server with the backed-up data.
Prometheus 2.0 is focused on improving performance and making it even simpler to operate. It makes the experience more consistent and intuitive with many small and big changes. One of the notable changes is the staleness handling, which was one of the oldest and most requested roadmap items. It helps explicitly to track the disappearing monitoring targets or series from those targets, which reduces querying artefacts and increases alerting responsiveness. The latest release also migrated the recording and alerting rules from a custom format to the ubiquitous YAML format. This makes it much easier to integrate with most configuration management tools and is invaluable for templating.
What's Next with Prometheus?
The new storage subsystem is designed to be accessible and extensible. This goes for new features directly integrated into Prometheus as well as custom tools that can be built on top of it. The simple and open storage format and the library allow users to easily build custom extensions like dynamic retention policies. This enables the storage layer to meet a wide array of requirements without drawing complexity into Prometheus itself; allowing it to focus on its core goals.
The remote APIs will continue to evolve to satisfy requirements for long-term storage without sacrificing Prometheus' model of reliability through simplicity.
The best part about the enhancements in Prometheus 2.0 is that it not only supports today's workloads better than ever, but it also has room to support tomorrow's workloads which enables increasing dynamism in infrastructure. Prometheus 2 is still the Prometheus you have learned to love, just a lot faster and even easier to operate and use. You can try out Prometheus 2.0 as usual by downloading official binaries and container images. Rock On!

SHAKUNTALA DEVI : The Human Calculator
Popularly known as 'Human Computer', Shakuntala Devi was an Indian writer and a mental calculator. She was an epitome of child prodigy. Her unique talent helped her win a place in 1982 edition of The Guinness Book of World Record. Born in Bengaluru, she wrote a number of books which include novels as well as texts about mathematics, astrology and puzzles.
(Image source : http://guruprasad.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/shakuntala_devi2.jpg )
As Shakuntala Devi had arithmetic talent, she travelled the world demonstrating her talent. She toured Europe in 1950 and New York in 1976. She even travelled to the US where Arthur Jensen, a professor of psychology at University of California, studied her abilities. He tested her performance particularly on large numbers. These included calculating the cube root of 61,629,875 and the seventh root of 170,859,375. He reported that Devi provided solution of these problems even before Jensen could copy them.
(Image source : http://guruprasad.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/human_computer.jpg )
Devi gave the 23rd square root of a 201-digit number in 50 seconds at Southern Methodist University in 1977. On 18 June, 1980, she showed the multiplication of two 13-digit numbers - 7,686,369,774,870 × 2,465,099,745,779- which were picked at random by the Computer Department of Imperial College, London. She correctly answered this multiplication in 28 seconds. This event was recorded in The Guinness Book of World Record in 1982. Devi expounded many of the methods she used to do mental calculations in her book 'Figuring: The Joy of Numbers'.

Some of her notable books are Astrology For You, Book of Numbers, In the Wonderland of Numbers, Mathability : Awaken the Math Genius in Your Child, Puzzles to Puzzle You and so on. She passed away on 21st April 2013, at the age of 83 years.

Hospital certification for optimizing cardiovascular disease and stroke quality of care and outcomes.
Cardiovascular disease and stroke remain leading causes of mortality, disability, and rising healthcare expenditures in the United States. Although a number of organizations provide hospital accreditation, recognition, and certification programs, existing programs do not address cardiovascular disease and stroke care in a comprehensive way. Current evidence suggests mixed findings for correlation between accreditation, recognition, and certification programs and hospitals' actual quality of care and outcomes. This advisory discusses potential opportunities to develop and enhance hospital certification programs for cardiovascular disease and stroke. The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association is uniquely positioned as a patient-centered, respected, transparent healthcare organization to help drive improvements in care and outcomes for patients hospitalized with cardiovascular disease and stroke. As a part of its commitment to promoting high-quality, evidence-based care for cardiovascular and stroke patients, it is recommended that the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association explore hospital certification programs to develop truly meaningful programs to facilitate improvements in and recognition for cardiovascular disease and stroke quality of care and outcomes. Future strategies should standardize objective, unbiased assessments of hospital structural, process, and outcome performance while allowing flexibility as technology and methodology advances occur.

Community, Discover Clarence, Redevelopment
Available buildings on Main Street Clarence. What would you do?
By many standards, Main Street in Clarence is a vibrant place. The four-mile stretch from Transit Road through the Hollow has a nice mix of office, retail and living options. Additionally, there are several prime buildings and parcels of land on Main Street available for the Clarence of the future.
Sometimes as I drive up Main Street, I find myself daydreaming about a few of the current structures available for sale or lease. Who would be the ideal purchaser? What kind of company or business could thrive in these buildings? Here are a few buildings that peak my interest and spark a few different thoughts. However, this article is not about MY thoughts, as it's more about your thoughts and ideas? Please share your views and what you would do.
This building at 8166 Main Street has long been a concert hall/night club. It had a successful run as the country-themed bar Howdy's, before becoming a concert hall named Club Infinity that attracted big name performers. The recent incarnations of this club haven't had much success. Most of the concert happenings occur in the City of Buffalo, so having an active concert hall in the community has value to the suburbs. With Uber and car-riding services coming to New York State this summer, maybe it could be the missing piece in having a long-running club back on the property.
The former Transitowne location at 10855 Main Street is 6,000 square feet with ample parking space around the building. Residing on Route 5/Main Street, thousands of people drive past this place daily. These facts alone give the locale many options. It's no secret that the people of Clarence love their cars. Maybe this building could keep its automotive roots and transform into a boutique dealership, offering unique, high-end vehicles or services. Another automotive service facility would always be welcomed on Main Street.
The former Dunkin Donuts location at 9430 Main Street is kinda intriguing. While donuts shops are not known to push the boundaries of architecture, this building (and its large windows) has decent curb appeal. The building's parking and drive-thru capabilities could interest a new owner. However, with Goodrich Coffee & Tea two doors away, and Tim Horton's just a quarter mile down the road, it's hard to picture another drive-thru food business finding huge success at this location. Credit union? Bank? Cool bike shop, jeweler or retail location?
The beloved Old Red Mill Inn at 8326 Main Street closed in 2015. Built in 1856, the former restaurant and 100 space parking lot offers unique challenges, which can also be used as major opportunities. Playing off the historical theme might be appealing to a banquet/catering business, antique store, or retail store. Many old buildings in Buffalo's Delaware District have been transformed into professional service offices – lawyers, accountant, construction management and more. Going this route would be super cool.
Location, location, location! The former Bozanna's Pizza location at 8885 Main Street has been closed for four years. What makes this parcel exciting is that its located between and across from some of Main Street's popular locations (Dash's Market, Passport Liquor, Hayes Seafood, Key Bank/Chamber of Commerce building and NOCO). It wouldn't be hard to get noticed here. I tend to think that there's no historical value to the building (could be totally wrong), therefore the location is probably a blank slate.
A victim of the merger in 2016 between First Niagara Bank and Key Bank, this former financial institution sits at 8503 Main Street. The building, parking lot and drive-thru are in great shape. It's certainly "move-in ready" for a financial business, but its locale could be a deal-breaker due to the proximity to banking facilities on Transit Road. Situated at Main Street and Harris Hill, the building is definitely in a high visibility location. Might be suitable spot for a bistro, wine bar, real estate or small professional office.
3 thoughts on "Available buildings on Main Street Clarence. What would you do?"
I would love to see a juice-ry come in (like Ashker's downtown) and a handful more boutique (not consignment) and specialty shops. And please lets keep it 'chain free' and grow our small businesses up and down Main Street! Great read, thanks for sharing.
Nelson Metke says:
Having grown up in the red brick house at 8680 Main St (now an office bldg), it was interesting to see these now available. Seventy-five years ago and some changes have occurred but many of the buildings remain the same.
I'm sure this is too déclassé for many Clarence folks but a McDonalds would would probably do very well at the old Dunkin' Donut site. But a Chick-fil-a; now that would be a real draw.

"Core Technologies at Nippon Steel Corporation" by Kevin Goodrich, Carrie Martin et al.
Nippon Steel is a multifaceted international corporation. Although they are traditionally one of the world's largest manufacturers of steel, they have had to diversify their core technologies in order to survive, since demand for steel has dropped sharply in recent years. This drop in demand is due to the fact that many traditional customers, such as the automotive and construction industries, are switching to cheaper and lighter alternative materials for economic and environmental reasons. In addition, there are currently many ongoing economic and political crises around the world which are causing the steel industry to stagnate. According to Kimura and Tezuka, "Nippon Steel's plans are to achieve diversification so that in the near future steel will account for less than 50 per cent of the company's total sales."  In addition to its traditional role as a steelmaker, some of the areas that Nippon Steel has ventured into include engineering and construction, urban development, chemical research, and commercial power generation. This article will look at some of the newer core technologies of Nippon Steel, and assess their implications for the company.

Q: How to stop build - but not build chain - if artifacts are identical I have a problem with a build plan in a build chain that really bothers me.
I have a simple build chain A -> B where

*

*A is very fast (less than a minute) - it basically does a database retrieval from a production system. There are no way to tell if the resulting artifact will be identical to the previous result before the processing has finished. Currently the build the time scheduled.

*B is very slow (5-6 hours) - it combines the output from A plus a number of other sources into a large number of artifacts. Currently it has a snapshot dependency on A as well as a dependency on the other sources.

I would like to avoid running B unless needed - i.e. if any of the inputs to B has changed - but how do I do that?
I can fail/cancel A if it detects that the results are unchanged, but that will result in a "Snapshot dependency failure" for B, so if any other the other input sources to B does change it will not rebuild the results...
Are there any way to stop or abort the build of A so the build of B will not be triggered?
EDIT: I (might) have an idea: I could let A check in the resulting artifact in SCM - if it is different from the previous version - and let this drive the trigger of B - which already have a number of other sources in the SCM. It will not be part of the same build chain - as far as I can see - but it is the next best thing...

A: I don't think so. Build chains in TeamCity are static.
There are two possible workarounds

*

*Write a plug-in to handle this case. It would be a server-side plugin that kicks in on the buildTypeAddedToQueue(SQueuedBuild queuedBuild) event, when B is queued. It would do some looking around (comparing artifacts) and remove B from the queue immediately.

*

*I believe this will behave as if B were queued and then de-queued by a user. I.e. it's not as hacky as it seems - removing builds from queue is a supported TC operation.

*It may be more laborious than you'd wish...

*Handle this in B.

*This is probably much simpler but I'm assuming you want to avoid this.

I think you'd ideally want to handle this within A so #2 is not an option. #1 comes close though of course it's a bit more involved.

A: I guess it should skip the A rebuild and use the recent one if the new potential build of A is going to be identical to some of the recent ones. For example, requesting dependent build A with the same VCS revision and with the same settings shouldn't trigger the build again.

Austrian counter-hegemony: Critiquing ethnic exclusion and globalization
Karner, Christian (2007) Austrian counter-hegemony: Critiquing ethnic exclusion and globalization. Ethnicities, 7 (1). pp. 82-115. ISSN 1468-7968
Full content URL: http://doi.org/10.1177/1468796806073920
This article examines select discursive contributions to Austrian civil society as counter-hegemonic forms of engagement with (trans)national structures of power and exclusion. Their ideological opposition is shown to unfold around three thematic areas: (1) conceptualizations of (ethnic) identities that subvert discourses of ethnonationalism; (2) initiatives that challenge everyday racism and asylum seekers' structural marginalization; (3) a recurring critique of neo-liberalism and economic globalization. The article also demonstrates that the political agency in question is informed by a narrative of interpretation, which partly converges with seminal contributions to the sociology of globalization and which differs radically from neo-nationalist responses to the dislocations and uncertainties of contemporary capitalism.

Targeted Attacks: The Game Has Changed
Targeted attackers are getting craftier than ever, figuring out new ways to evade detection. But all is not lost
As targeted attacks increase in numbers and sophistication, defenders find themselves overmatched and underequipped.
Next-gen products that promised to help defenders specifically with such attacks have simply failed to deliver and added to the chaos. That's because these security products remain stuck in a point product world where everything that defenders see is a point-in-time at a single control point event. Next-gen detection products only see one tiny window into an attack– they see files, traffic, logins, etc. in isolation and only promise detection -- potentially alerting you only after the horse has left the barn.
These next-gen point products send alerts to a SOC team generating a whole new responsibility of threat hunting. The SOC needs to figure out how to prioritize all those alerts, coalesce them into a broader attack view, and ultimately find the needle in the haystack. It isn't long before the system gets swamped with an insanely high number of alerts - most of which turn out to be false alarms. Because each next-gen product has a myopic view, they alert on anything that could possibly be suspicious to avoid missing anything, and they assume a SOC team is there to make sense of it all.
Bottom line – organizations we have spoken to repeatedly tell us that next-gen detection technologies have failed to deliver.
Targeted Threats
The targeted attack problem has been years in the making. Targeted attacks primarily go after intelligence or PII – anything valuable -- but increasingly we are seeing attackers manipulate, destroy, and disrupt their targets. These attacks often involve state-supported actors working at the behest of foreign governments. More recently, we've also seen increased organized crime gang activity.
These are sophisticated attackers equipped with the tools and know-how to get what they want. Symantec, which tracks over 140 targeted attack groups, found that last year each group was responsible for hitting an average of 42 companies.
What's more, targeted attackers are getting craftier than ever. Targeted attackers have figured out ways around nearly everything the security industry has thrown at it including scanners, sandboxes, network anomaly detection, user login anomaly detection, machine learning, and EDR capabilities. They rely almost entirely on dual use tools that are already found on user machines to evade detection. In every case, they look like an administrator, not like an attacker.
Organizations have struggled to keep up. They're not only hampered by solutions with limited, point-in-time views but they also wind up wasting time chasing false alarms. All the while, targeted attackers are covertly exfiltrating data.
The upshot: post-breach forensics discovers the real attack – only after the damage gets done.
Changing the Rules of the Game
So far, the game has been all about detection. Next-gen vendors tout how they can spot anomalies and detect suspicious behaviors. But these technologies don't prevent attacks – they create false alarms and they miss attacks that rely on dual use tools (no malware). At best, a SOC might find an attack if they correlate alerts from several products together (involving yet another product purchase – a SIM or threat platform). "Might detect" is not a solution to the targeted attack problem.
Last month, Symantec introduced a new capability called Targeted Attack Analytics. TAA is designed to give defenders an edge by sniffing out targeted attacks before they can inflict damage. We took a fundamentally new approach, one that doesn't require lots of point-in-time anomaly detection scanners. We apply advanced machine learning across all local and global data, across all control points, all at once, utilizing our Integrated Cyber Defense Platform. The high precision analytics we have developed, not a SOC team you must staff, look at both suspicious and mundane data – especially anything dual-use – to find new attack activity before attackers can get a chance to exfiltrate data. No other product does this today.
Symantec began this effort about four years ago. It was a moonshot – we didn't know if it would be possible to safely collect data and process it at such volumes – and we didn't know if we could marry our threat detection expertise with the latest artificial intelligence capabilities. We hit many roadblocks along the way – but we persisted – and the results have been as incredible as we hoped. Since rolling out TAA as part of our Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) product, we've uncovered over 1,600 targeted attacks that were previously unknown to the security community. Many were related to the groups we were already tracking, though some were new, such as Treehopper, Dragonfly, Shamoon activity, Thrip, Seedworm, and Elfin.
Our biggest discovery came last fall when we first started using TAA. Our new analytics revealed that Dragonfly was back and inside over 100 power companies in the US. The group uses several infiltration techniques — watering holes, hijacking updates, and e-mails. Symantec's TAA system successfully located covert communications channels, spotted the enumeration of assets on local systems, and identified the use of several dual use tools.
TAA is a disruptive leap in capability for targeted attack detection. Finally we can sniff out attacks before they do their damage.
But there are also important implications here for resource-constrained companies and their SOCs. Think of the efficiency gains. Defenders won't any longer need to spend precious time wading through seas of alerts. TAA's ability to spot attacks will help companies save time and energy. They can now shift resources to higher priorities, whether that be improving overall cyber hygiene or hardening their organizations' security environment.
TAA is built into our Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) product. Our cloud-based high precision artificial intelligence analytics run constantly across our enormous data lake to identify attacks in their early stages. They then generate a full report that gets pushed to our ATP product, where a high priority alert gets generated. Full details about what TAA saw are provided so that the SOC analyst can understand not only the impacted infrastructure, but also what kinds of activity took place. Often the attack activity is automatically linked to known attack groups so the SOC can learn more about the motivation of the attacker.
The tech industry is prone to hyperbole and we often hear people talk about paradigm shifts. But suffice to say that in this case, we've been able to change the rules of the game and made it impossible for targeted attackers to hide any longer. By any measure, that's a very big deal.

Winter Storm Izzy: States Declare Emergencies; Travel Advisories Issued for Major Airports
By Jan Wesner Childs
A portion of I-35 in Des Moines was closed.
Several airlines issued travel advisories for dozens of airports.
Schools closed Friday in Des Moines and some other districts in Iowa.
Residents in affected areas are asked to stay home.
Residents in some areas are being asked to stay home, travel advisories have been issued for dozens of major airports and crews are working to clear and prep roads from Iowa to Georgia to New York as a winter storm is set to bring snow, ice, wind and frigid temperatures across a wide swath of the U.S. over the upcoming holiday weekend.
The storm, named Izzy by The Weather Channel, left roads covered with snow and ice in parts of Iowa and Minnesota Friday as officials in points south and east declared emergencies ahead of the storm.
(FORECAST: Winter Storm Izzy to Spread Mess of Snow, Ice from Midwest into South and East into MLK Weekend)
Here's a look at the effects of - and planning for - Izzy so far:
Iowa State Patrol Responds to Multiple Crashes
State troopers covered 32 crashes with 14 injuries on Friday, including a trooper who was hit. No fatalities were reported.
Emergency Declarations Issued in Southern States
The governors of Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina all issued emergency declarations on Friday. All advised residents to prepare before the storm moves in.
"This storm will bring significant impacts from snow, sleet and freezing rain in different parts of the state, with likely power outages and travel disruptions," North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said in a news release. "North Carolinians should pay close attention to their local weather forecast over the next few days, and make sure they are personally prepared before Saturday afternoon."
Several Airlines Waive Change Fees for Holiday Weekend
American, Delta, Southwest, JetBlue and Spirit airlines issued travel advisories and waived change fees at dozens of airports in the path of the storm.
Major citites affected include Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Nashville, New York, Philadelphia and Washington D.C.
West Virginia in 'State of Preparedness'
Gov. Jim Justice placed the state on alert to prepare for winter weather. The move signals the state Emergency Operations Center and related agencies to be ready to posture personnel and resources should an emergency develop.
Iowa Interstate Closed
A portion of Interstate 35 was closed at around 12:30 p.m. CST due to a sideways truck blocking both lanes. The road reopened about an hour later. Travelers should check 511 for current road conditions.
Schools Closed in Some Areas Friday
Des Moines Public Schools canceled classes Friday. Several other school districts in Central Iowa also called off school or announced early dismissals.
Drivers Faced Slick Commutes
More than 200 plows were on the roads in Iowa Friday morning and operations continued throughout the day and evening, according to the Iowa Department of Transportation's road conditions map.
Roads were already slick in the early morning and the Iowa State Patrol asked motorists in affected areas to stay home if possible.
Kansas City's Snowplow Map Was Busy, Too
Kansas City's snowplow map showed crews active on streets across the city Friday evening. Some schools in the region closed Thursday and Friday, but that was due to issues related to COVID-19.
Next Up for Izzy: The Southeast
The storm is moving to the East and into the South.
"This will lead to snow for some and ice for others, and for parts of Georgia and the Carolinas, it means rapidly changing conditions from snow to ice and possibly back again," weather.com meteorologist Jonathan Belles said. "Saturday and Sunday will be nasty for driving in some of these spots, but the last part of the holiday weekend on Monday will give some drier and warmer weather. Be prepared for bad road conditions and the possibility of losing power from north Georgia to the inland Carolinas."
You can track Izzy with our maps, radar, forecasts, timing and other information here.
Georgia One of Many States Prepping Roads
The Georgia Department of Transportation has more than 50,000 tons of salt and about 46,000 tons of gravel on hand, as well as 407 snow removal dump trucks.
"Winter weather is predicted in North Georgia and metro Atlanta this weekend. GDOT is preparing brine operations, equipment, materials, and staff to respond to the threat," the agency said in a tweet. "We will continue to monitor conditions as the storm evolves."
A GDOT official told The Weather Channel Thursday that people in affected areas should stay home and avoid travel.'
Here are five things to know about snow and ice in the South.
Shoppers Face Shortages that Could Get Worse

While shoppers stocked up on the usual bread, milk and other goods, one expert warned that the storm could impact the already stressed U.S. supply chain.
"From an impact perspective, with this kind of weather scenario, all it would take is an accident or two for major Interstate closures to occur," Francisco Alvarez, lead meteorologist for trucking network Convoy, told weather.com in an email Thursday.
Alvarez cited Midwest highways as a major concern, for example.
"Basically if you could make a box between Omaha, Sioux Falls, Minneapolis/St. Paul, and Des Moines, that will be the most dangerous travel area for truckers," as Izzy moves through the region, he said.
All drivers need to be aware in areas that the storm will pass through.
Click here for our list of "9 Things to Keep In Your Car If You Must Travel in a Winter Storm."
And here are some driving safety tips and other winter storm advice issued ahead by the South Carolina Department of Emergency Management ahead of the storm:
-Avoid unnecessary travel in affected areas. If you must travel, make sure your vehicle is in good working condition, your cell phone is charged and extra blankets and snacks are packed in case of delays.
-If you lose power, know how to report the outage to your utility company and have alternate, safe means of staying warm.
-Wrap exposed pipes or take other measures to insulate them from the cold and prevent freezing, which causes pipes to burst.
-If you have a fireplace, have plenty of dry seasoned wood.
-Winter is the most active season for house fires. Keep fire extinguishers on hand, and make sure your family knows how to use them.
-Practice proper carbon monoxide safety: Vent kerosene heaters, do not burn charcoal indoors and keep portable generators outdoors away from windows and doors.
-Have a stock of batteries.
-Keep pets and domestic animals in a warm place with access to food and water.
-Check on anyone who may need extra help during winter weather.

Muslim couple approach Supreme Court for women's offering prayer into mosques
NEW DELHI: A Pune-based Muslim couple has approached the Supreme Court seeking its direction to allow entry of women in all mosques to offer prayers saying that are no records the holy Quran and Prophet Muhammad had opposed women entering mosques and offering prayers.
The petitioners pleaded the court to declare the present practice of prohibiting women's entry in mosques as illegal, unconstitutional for being violative of their fundamental rights. The couple said they filed a petition in the apex court after various religious heads of mosques refused their plea to permit women to offer their prayers.
"Like men, women also have the constitutional rights to offer worship according to their belief. At present, women are allowed to offer prayers at mosques under Jamaat-e-Islami and Mujahid denominations, while they are barred from mosques under the predominant Sunni faction. It is submitted that even in the mosques where women are allowed to worship, there are separate entrances and enclosures for men and women. There should not be any gender discrimination and Muslim women should also be allowed to pray in all mosques, cutting across denominations. It is submitted that there is no such gender discrimination in Mecca, the holy city," the petition said.
"The Quran does not differentiate between man and woman. It speaks only about the faithfulness. Today, Islam has become a religion in which women are being oppressed. It is submitted that women are never allowed to pray inside Sunni mosques. Women were allowed to enter mosques even during the time of the Prophet. It is submitted that Muslim women are being discriminated as they are not allowed to enter and pray in the main prayer hall of mosques," the petition said.
Referring to SC verdict on Sabrimala temple by which entry of women of all age group was allowed, the petition said the religion cannot be used as cover to deny rights of worship to women and it is also against human dignity. Pleading the court to adjudicate the issue, the petition said, "The legislature has failed to ensure the basic dignity and equality of women in general and Muslim women in particular when it concerns matters related to entry in the mosque, wearing the burqa, etc."

This time I'd like to talk about the other rod. This two piece rod came to me as a blank with an extra tip section, with a reel seat, guides, and silk thread for wrapping. The ferrules and tops were already put and fixed, so all I had to do was to finish the rod. But it had been more than 20 years since I built my old graphite rod by myself. I started to study how to finish a bamboo rod. After looking at several web pages on the internet, I came to the conclusion that I needed a rod wrapper/dryer. Since the commercial tools were too expensive, I decided to make one by myself. Fortunately, I have a friend who is also a fly fisher and a son of a carpenter, and has some woodworking tools. With his help, I made my rod wrapper.
The right side photo shows the opposite view of the motor.
I bought the slow, synchronous motor in Tokyo when I went there for a business trip. First, I sanded and re-polished the outside of the male ferrule just very very slightly, because it seemed a little too tight. Then, I varnished the blank with a urethane varnish and a brush. It was unexpectedly difficult to varnish the blank with a brush evenly. I didn't understand the tips of varnishing until I finished the second coating, and the varnish appeared very patchy. Besides, my calligraphy on the rod was also terrible. I scraped them all with sandpaper, and did it from the very first. I coated more than 6 times until finally finish the varnish.
Next, I fit the reel seat, which went without a problem. But before that, I sanded the wood to remove the original varnish, and coated it with urethane 3 times. Then, I polished it with sandpaper and a fine car polish to put a luster on the surface.
Subsequently, I wrapped the guides, which was the final step. For the guide spacing, I followed the suggestion of the friend who sent the rod to me. Again, I didn't grasp the keys for how to wrap guides neatly until I finish the last one, so I untied them and did it all over again. Epoxy coat of the guide wrapping was the most difficult part in the whole process. I bought FLEX COAT. Though they say it's thin, it was already thick from the moment of mixing. If I waited for bubbles to disappear, it became too thick. Besides, I was too slow at first, and couldn't finish even one blank piece with a mixture of Flex Coat. I used a thinner which was actually prohibited in the instruction. Though it seemed OK when I just finished all the guides, the epoxy never hardened fully. So, I had to scrape all the guides and their wrapping with razor blade, and did it all over. With all these failures, my skill had improved a lot, and somehow I finally finished the rod, just before the start of the last season. This was a short rod: 6 ft 3 in. There was no specification for the line weight with this rod. I tested it with #3-5 lines and decided to use it with a #4 line.
With this new weapon in hand, there were two places I wanted to try. One of them is actually the nearest amago stream. It's just 40 minute drive from my house, but I hadn't fished it for several years, since it hadn't been fishing well for years. I thought I gave it a try anyway, because the size of the stream is just for this rod and the other stream around my area were in terrible conditions thanks to the two very strong typhoons that had directly hit this area the year before.
I wanted to take photos of the rod in a stream. If you don't look too close, it looks nice, doesn't it? As you see, I didn't darken the ferrules.
To my surprise, the stream fished well, meaning that I caught several amago with the largest fish being just less than 8 inches.
The rod was rather easy to cast for me. Since it's very short, its action is fast like a graphite rod. A perfect rod for a small stream.
This stream is truly a gem, if only it fishes fair.
The other place is a short stretch of a small river located near ReRise, which is my regular inn in the central mountain area. The stream is mostly open, but in that particular area, it's covered by thick trees and difficult to cast with a regular fly rod. In early June last year, I fished the stretch with the new rod with very good results.
I could cast easily through the tunnel of branches, which was almost impossible with my 8ft graphite rod.
I went to the first stream already in this season and it fished even better. This was partly because the timing was perfect: A warm rain in the previous day after a long winter drought, and numerous mayfly hatches throughout the stream in addition to the exceptionally warm and overcast day in the middle of March.
So, this is the story of my new rod.
Now, I'm making a new landing net. Actually, the son-of-a-carpenter friend made the frame for me, and I'm finishing it. I hope I can show you the net with a nice trout in it, in the next occasion.


9:1 ¶ And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth.
9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this [man] or his parents, that he should be born blind?
9:3 Jesus answered, Neither has this [man] sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him.
9:4 I must work the works of him that has sent me while it is day. [The] night is coming, when no one can work.
9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am [the] light of the world.
9:6 Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes.
9:7 And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.
9:8 ¶ The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?
9:9 Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: *he* said, It is I.
9:10 They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?
9:11 He answered [and said], A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw.
9:12 They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.
9:13 ¶ They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.
9:14 Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
9:15 The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.
9:16 Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them.
9:17 They say therefore again to the blind [man], What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
9:18 The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.
9:19 And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind: how then does he now see?
9:21 but how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. *He* is of age: ask *him*; *he* will speak concerning himself.
9:22 His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him [to be the] Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.
9:23 On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask *him*.
9:24 They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.
9:25 He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see.
9:26 And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
9:27 He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?
9:28 They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
9:29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but [as to] this [man], we know not whence he is.
9:30 The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that *ye* do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.
9:31 [But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.
9:32 Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind.
9:33 If this [man] were not of God he would be able to do nothing.
9:34 They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.
9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?
9:36 He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
9:37 And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.
9:38 And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.
9:39 ¶ And Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they which see not may see, and they which see may become blind.
9:40 And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we blind also?
9:41 Jesus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.

S.A. gains another sports radio station — and Jim Rome
By Jeanne Jakle on January 31, 2014 at 11:01 AM
Just in time for Super Bowl weekend. . .
San Antonio just gained a fourth all-sports radio station.
Early Friday, KONO-AM (860) — which, for 20 years previously, was a simulcast of greatest hits music station KONO-FM — was re-launched as CBS Sports Radio 860.
S.A. listeners now will hear up-to-the-minute sports news and popular CBS talk shows on the Cox Media Group-owned station.
However, the station's most treasured acquisition is "The Jim Rome Show," starring one of the country's hottest and edgiest sports personalities, Jim Rome (see photo).
"It's a great move for us. . .to bring this level of quality sports programming to San Antonio," Cox's San Antonio vice president/market manager Dan Lawrie said Friday.
"Additionally," Lawrie added, "South Texas sports fans should be glad to welcome the return of Jim Rome after a two-year absence in the market." Rome's show now airs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on KONO 860.
Lawrie said the new sports outlet also intends to carry the San Antonio Missions, University of the Incarnate Word football and local high school games.
KONO-AM joins three other local sports stations: the veteran of this market, KTKR-AM, known as "Ticket 760"; ESPN affiliate KZDC-AM (1250); and in the Spanish-language arena, KSAH-AM (720), "ESPN Deportes."
Lawrie said that KONO 860 has no plans to launch a local sports talk show.
As for KONO-FM (101.1), it remains a music outlet. The high-rated station will continue its long tradition of carrying greatest hits from the past several decades.

How human heads were concealed in Onitsha hotel room
Last week's demolition of a three –storey building housing Upper Class Hotel, located at No. 8 Old Market Road, Onitsha, was the third to be supervised by Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State in the last one year. The governor, on two previous occasions, led security operatives to demolish the houses of two suspected notorious kidnappers at Oraifite in Ekwusigo local government area and Uli in Ihiala local government area.
During the previous occasions, Obi made it clear that any property belonging to confirmed criminals in the state would be demolished to serve as deterrent to others who engage in criminal activities. After the two demolitions last year, there was a noticeable drop in crime rate in the state, especially kidnapping and armed robbery. That is why the alleged discovery of fresh human heads in the Onitsha hotel last week jolted many people, including security operatives.

Popular actress, Moji Olaiya, tells 'Nonye Ben-Nwankwoabout her career and why she walked out of her marriage
You are in a soon to be released soap, Glass House. How did it come about?
A producer we call Jerry (Isichei) produced it. I am a major cast in the series.
Most people know you as a Yoruba actress, but you are now featuring in an English series…
But this is not my first job in English. Don't forget that I came to the limelight through Super Story and which of course, was in English. I am also in Nowhere to be Found, which is another popular soap.
We learnt that you played the role of an illiterate woman in Glass House
Yes, and it was very challenging. I got married to a bank chairman in the series and I am also a publisher. I played 'Moji' even in the series. The character is just a very funny person. I must tell you the soap is very interesting. I am very happy I played that part.

Pipeline Vandalism As A Metaphor - Pini Jason
By - Pini Jason
APART from the menace of terrorism in certain parts of Northern Nigeria, another seemingly intractable menace in the country is pipeline vandalism.
Some criminals, well-armed and ready to kill, and sometimes well connected, hack into the nation's oil pipelines and siphon petroleum products.
Often, in the process of stealing the nation's ill-fated wealth, there is a fire outbreak, the criminals and some innocent bystanders are roasted, property worth millions are incinerated, the environment further despoiled by fire and oil leakage, national assets are damaged and billions of Naira are wasted in replacements.
This criminal indulgence, we have been told, cost the nation over five hundred billions of Naira in the last few years.
This activity has also tasked the capacity of maritime and security agencies.
But pipeline vandals in our national life are not just those who operate in the swamps of Arepo and other places.

French farmers smash 100,000 eggs a day in protest at EU directive to protect hens
Furious French farmers are smashing hundreds of thousands of fresh eggs in a protest at cripplingly low prices they blame on the European Union.
In bizarre scenes in the northwest region of Brittany, piles of mangled shell, yolk and albumen are being dumped on main roads next door to supermarkets.
'The mess is terrible and soon it will start to smell very badly indeed,' said one shopworker. 'It's a strange protest, but one which will create a huge amount of publicity.'
'Any woman who says she's happy to be childless is a liar or a fool': Take it from a woman who's given up her dreams of motherhood at 44,
Not so long ago women without children, like me, were pitied. But now the world has caught on to the fact that, on the surface at least, we don't have such a hard life.
Take this week: I spent a few days on a friend's sailing boat in Italy, sun-bathing, drinking rose, talking, laughing and dancing until dawn.
Back at home after my break, I slept for hours, ate breakfast in bed, and stayed there reading until well after lunchtime. I couldn't be bothered to cook, so I went out for a Thai meal, bumped into a friend, went to the cinema and then out for drinks.
At the weekend, I stayed with friends with children in the countryside where I found money worries, toddler tantrums, conflicted step-parental relationships, and an all-consuming fractious energy caused by Mum and Dad having not slept more than five hours a night for months.
Unlike the child-free trip to Italy, where we drank for pleasure, this time wine was part of the coping process.
The children were lovely and polite - to me. But anyone could see that underneath the outward manners and helpfulness, Tolstoy's maxim applied: 'Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way'.
Earlier this week, a broadsheet newspaper ran a triumphalist piece by a 42-year-old who claimed she was wilfully and joyfully childfree. The writer was one of a growing number of women, she claimed, who believe having it all means not having a baby. I call them the Motherhood Deniers.
To an extent, that writer is right. Unburdened by motherhood and the personal sacrifice it requires, a woman can dedicate herself to her career and create a home with all the delicate ornaments, sumptuous fabrics and hard edges that have no place in a family environment.
Where a decade ago, just one in nine women remained childless at 45 and were considered rather peculiar at that, now that figure is closer to one in four. For women with a university education, like me, that figure rises to 43 per cent - an extraordinary figure which signifies a seismic social change.

Husband crashes speeding car and rolls it FOUR TIMES after seeing wife give birth in passenger seat... and they all survived
There are plenty of hazards you are taught to avoid to stay safe while driving a car... but a woman giving birth in the passenger seat next to you is not one of them.
This is the exact quandary Mokhles Raheema faced as he drove his pregnant wife and two young children to hospital along a motorway in Sweden.
As Samaher Mezban suddenly began to give birth, Mokhles took his eyes off the road to check she and the baby were OK - only to veer into a ditch and roll the vehicle four times.
Miraculously, not only did he, his wife and their two children survive, so too did their newborn daughter who they found lodged under the front passenger seat, her umbilical cord still attached.

"Many have asked that I post the video to different sites which allow them to share it with more people. With that being said, here is the video…enjoy! "Here is my comment that accompanied the video on 7/5/13" 'Well here it is in all its beauty or what's left of it! When we first rented out this house it was in MINT condition….now look at it.

If you want to see what this house use to look like, then wait till the end of the video as there will be pictures posted. There u will see what the house use to look like before we rented it out via Section 8. Take a quick look…it will blow your mind!'

Doris Simeon In Sizzling Romance With Married Lover
In the words of American female singer, Keri Hilson, 'sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down, just get back up when it knocks you down.' This little piece of advice might have been pondered about and made used of by classy actress, Doris Simeon.
Since her estranged movie producer-cum director husband, Daniel Ademinokan allegedly absconded with fellow sexy actress, Stella Damasus to Abuja and now to the United States of America (USA), she has been forced to romance her pillow when her body called for a partner.
In order not to die thinking and get smitten by the harsh and unfriendly cold weather, the Okpella, Edo State-born role interpreter has got herself back up after love knocked her down and has finally moved on.
Now, as it stands, Doris no longer has to find solace in her pillow, as she now gets incubated by a lover, who is a respected pen-pusher (names withheld). The lovebirds, going by information scooped by Nigeriafilms.com, have been spotted at different joints.

Why you should NEVER forgive a cheating husband: Helen did. Here she explains why it was the biggest mistake of her life
The realisation almost took my breath away. Turning to kiss my husband Brian goodbye, I was floored by the sudden dawning that, after 28 years of electric emotional highs and soul-destroying lows, I felt nothing for him.
As I pulled the door closed behind me and got into my car to spend a weekend visiting my aunt, I had no idea that I was leaving my marriage, or that I would never again return to our family home in Alton, Hampshire.
But I did know that something had changed irrevocably — that things would never be the same again.
Three years have passed and I haven't so much as spoken to Brian. All my belongings — my clothes, my jewellery, family photos and treasured mementos — are still with him.
Yet I have no desire to collect them. I've shed that life like a snake sheds its skin.
If you think me unbearably heartless, you wouldn't be alone. Some people have judged me for giving up on my marriage, for walking out on my husband that summer day in 2010.
All I know is that it's the best thing I have ever done, and that my life has been transformed as a result.
