The history of Curaçao
You've probably heard of Curaçao because of the world-famous Blue Curaçao Liqueur, a proud icon of our island and the reason why The Blue Curaçao Experience exists. But what else do you know about Curaçao? If you're curious about our paradisiac island, then you've come to the right place. In this article, we'll take a ride through Curaçao's history, all the way from its first inhabitants and how they were described, to the first conquest by the Spaniards, and the island's evolution to one of the most desired places to visit on the Caribbean.
The first conquest of curaçao
Curaçao was conquered by the Spaniard Alonso de Ojeda in 1499 as he traveled from the island of Trinidad along the South American continental coast in search of a new passage towards India. After days of navigation along the coast, De Ojeda and his men sighted the island of Curaçao, which was initially named "Isla de Los Gigantes" (Giant's Island) as the indigenous people that were seen on the coast were thought to be giants. Later, however, the Spanish changed the name to "Corazón" (heart), which was then translated to "Curaçao" by the famous Portuguese mapmakers of the time. The reason why the Spanish decided to call it "Corazón" is still unknown.
The Dutch Conquest
Curaçao remained under Spanish rule until the Dutch conquest of 1634. It was in this period that one of Curaçao's most prominent figures emerged, Peter Stuyvesant. Regarded a pirate by the world, and a hero by the Dutch, Peter Stuyvesant became director of Curaçao and the driving the force behind Curaçao's role in the slave trade.
By the year 1662, the capital city of Willemstad had become the central point of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade under the direction of the mighty Dutch West India Company, who would bring thousands of slaves from Africa, to sell them to wealthy plantation owners all over the Americas.
Curaçao's popularity rises
Given Curaçao's popularity and strategic location, the island became a desired hotspot in the eyes of British and French colonizers, who battled with the Dutch from the end of the 17th century to the beginning of the 19th century to take possession of Curaçao.
In this bloody period, a local hero by the name Tula rose against foreign colonizers. Tula was an African slave who liberated himself from his master and became the leader of the Curaçao Slave Revolt of 1795, a movement that lasted over a month and ended with Tula's terrible execution by torture.
Dutch Establishments
By the year 1815, the Dutch had warded off all enemies and seized all slave revolt attempts, thereby regaining control of Curaçao and establishing themselves as the sole rulers. The Dutch saw Curaçao's perfect weather conditions as an opportunity to give the island a new source of income through agriculture.
In this period, around 100 small plantations were established and Curaçao's iconic plantation mansions, known as "Landhuizen" were built. In the present day, there are over 55 Landhuizen. One of the most well-preserved and beautiful landhuizen on the island is the home of our Curaçao Liqueur; Landhuis Chobolobo.
The Netherlands Antilles
The Dutch Kingdom maintained its rule until 1954 when the six Dutch Caribbean islands (Curaçao, Aruba, Bonaire St. Maarten, St. Eustatius, and Saba) became autonomous within the Kingdom and formed the Netherlands Antilles. The Netherlands Antilles was dissolved in 2010, and Curaçao – together with the Netherlands, Aruba and Sint Maarten - became an autonomous country within the Dutch Kingdom.
Modern Days
As from the beginning of its history, Curaçao's exceptional beauty and mystic continue to attract people from all over the world. Curaçao's main sources of income are now tourism, petroleum refining, and Financial Services. Everyone speaks at least 4 languages; Papiamento, Dutch, Spanish and English and even though the current population is only about 150,000, and the island is just 39 miles long (62 km), there's so much to do and see that you'll want to come back many times over. There are over 38 astonishing beaches, and beautiful landscapes filled with a colorful nature and an exceptional architecture.
The capital city Willemstad has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the most photographed capitals in the world. It is also where The Blue Curaçao Experience is located, one of the most exciting activities on the island and one of the best places to have cocktails and enjoy a bite while you contemplate on the island's rich history. The story goes on and we look forward to having you here and letting you see everything Curaçao has to offer by yourself. "Bon Bini" in advance and see you soon!

At Astor College we strive to ensure the transition from Primary to Secondary is a positive experience and that Year 7 fully embed themselves into the Astor Family from the very beginning. Our aim is for our students to be confident in their new surroundings, to feel valued, to make excellent progress and to make the most of the opportunities that Astor College has to offer.
Thursday 13th December Year 7 took to the ice!
We took a walk to Dover Cruise Terminal, where we were welcomed by the excellent team who manage the ice rink. Our boots were on, the festive music was playing and all 100 of our students were off. Who knew how many budding ice skaters we had! With the ice rink to ourselves there was plenty of room to show off some challenging moves.
Students spent the afternoon, skating, sipping on hot chocolate and eating festive food from the stalls. It was a fantastic afternoon that was enjoyed by all who attended.
We would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all the staff at Dover Cruse Terminal.
On the 6th February, members of 7DB held a cake sale to raise money for a charity of their choice. The weeks leading up to event saw the students working out how many cakes were required, the measurements, the costing, creating posters and most importantly taste testing!
On the day of the event we had over 100 cakes for sale. These included the famous Astor Brownies and coconut slices. The event was a huge success with many happy customers coming back for more throughout the day.
In total we raised £57, we are hoping to organise another event in the near future and donate this along with hopefully another large sum. A massive thank you to all the students and staff who helped organise the event.


Your commonsense, practical guide to getting your kids back on track and creating a happier home. Being a parent can be tough and there are times when you just don't have all the answers.
For parents finding themselves faced with a seemingly endless spiral of conflict, poor behaviour and ineffective discipline, this is the evidence-based, step-by-step parenting programme you need.
The first step is to develop a strong relationship between you and your child.
Once this has been established, further steps will help you to build a toolkit of effective parenting strategies.
The final step shows you how to introduce a clear, easy-to-implement discipline system that actually works.
The result is a programme that teaches children to take ownership of their behaviour, and that can be used in all of the child's environments — at home, at school, when they are with family and friends. In addition, it's proven to be effective on children who have been diagnosed with behavioural disorders such as ADHD, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, or explosive and non-compliant behaviour.

Main article in below spoiler
Brain imaging experiments have revealed for the first time how ecstasy produces feelings of euphoria in users.
Results of the study at Imperial College London, parts of which were televised in Drugs Live on Channel 4 in 2012, have now been published in the journal Biological Psychiatry.
The findings hint at ways that ecstasy, or MDMA, might be useful in the treatment of anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
MDMA has been a popular recreational drug since the 1980s, but there has been little research on which areas of the brain it affects. The new study is the first to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) on resting subjects under its influence.
Twenty-five volunteers underwent brain scans on two occasions, one after taking the drug and one after taking a placebo, without knowing which they had been given.
The results show that MDMA decreases activity in the limbic system - a set of structures involved in emotional responses. These effects were stronger in subjects who reported stronger subjective experiences, suggesting that they are relatedCommunication between the medial temporal lobe and medial prefrontal cortex, which is involved in emotional control, was reduced. This effect, and the drop in activity in the limbic system, are opposite to patterns seen in patients who suffer from anxiety.
MDMA also increased communication between the amygdala and the hippocampus. Studies on patients with PTSD have found a reduction in communication between these areas.
The project was led by David Nutt, the Edmond J. Safra Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London, and Professor Val Curran at UCL.
Dr Robin Carhart-Harris from the Department of Medicine at Imperial, who performed the research, said: "We found that MDMA caused reduced blood flow in regions of the brain linked to emotion and memory. These effects may be related to the feelings of euphoria that people experience on the drug."
Professor Nutt added: "The findings suggest possible clinical uses of MDMA in treating anxiety and PTSD, but we need to be careful about drawing too many conclusions from a study in healthy volunteers. We would have to do studies in patients to see if we find the same effects."
MDMA has been investigated as an adjunct to psychotherapy in the treatment of PTSD, with a recent pilot study in the US reporting positive preliminary results.
As part of the Imperial study, the volunteers were asked to recall their favourite and worst memories while inside the scanner. They rated their favourite memories as more vivid, emotionally intense and positive after MDMA than placebo, and they rated their worst memories less negatively. This was reflected in the way that parts of the brain were activated more or less strongly under MDMA. These results were published in the International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology.
Dr Carhart-Harris said: "In healthy volunteers, MDMA seems to lessen the impact of painful memories. This fits with the idea that it could help patients with PTSD revisit their traumatic experiences in psychotherapy without being overwhelmed by negative emotions, but we need to do studies in PTSD patients to see if the drug affects them in the same way."
A research project led by Professor David Nutt has investigated the use of MDMA (the chemical 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine) for therapeutic purposes including for the treatment of anxiety disorders and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
There has been previous evidence (see spoiler at the end of paragraph) for the successful therapeutic use of MDMA, however a study of this size and in such depth has never been conducted before. As can be seen from the linked article, the results are very promising.
In the year 2000, Doctor Jose Carlos Bouso preformed the first clinical trial of MDMA for use in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Since 2009, two randomized, controlled trials of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder were published. Although small, these trials are consistent with earlier results. The patients treated with two or three sessions of MDMA-psychotherapy showed greater improvement than the ones treated by placebo-psychotherapy or placebo-inactive dose of MDMA.This improvement was generally maintained on a follow-up several years later.
Given the authorisation of the study of the Class A drug for research purposes, one can only hope this reflects a change in attitudes towards alternative treatment for mental health issues. For those who find no improvements (or, simply, 'feeling zombified', as if one is no longer the same person) through current available options such as counselling or drugs like SSRI's with many negative side effects (even including suicide ideation), the potential future option of MDMA as an alternative is surely only a good thing. The potential success of the drug is seen in the 2009 study to have effective and long lasting results instead of proviing a mere quick fix - surely this can only be more of an incentive for further research into the therapeutic properties of MDMA.
As someone who has suffered with mental health issues in the past and known many, many, many people who have also suffered with mental health issues who have not responded to counselling/CBT/antidepressants, the thought of an alternative to these options is surely something to be very hopeful about. Whilst my mental health is currently well, I still know of those who aren't in the same boat and as such, if MDMA can be used for therapeutic reasons to help them, then I passionately see this as something that undoubtedly needs to be investigated further.
Recently we have seen a change in Government attitudes towards marijuana in some states in America, with the legalisation of marijuana for medicinal purposes. It certainly feels that, within the last few years at least, marijuana is being viewed in a more liberal and accepting way by a vaster majority, not least due to its potential for therapeutic or medicinal use. One can only hope that MDMA, in many years time, can be viewed in the same way, if further trials come to the same conclusion as Professor Nutt's study..
However, it is also clear to see that approval of the drug for prescription purposes only would prove problematic. Abuse of prescription drugs in the UK is a severe problem, with Diazepam (Valium) being a key example. It is easy to see why many could worry about the possibility of illegal distributions of prescription MDMA to the wider public for recreational use, and as such is likely to be the key deterrent in the Government approving this, regardless of the success of MDMA trials in treating PTSD and anxiety disorders. Conversely, prescription MDMA would also guarantee a 99%+ pure drug, whilst if someone in the UK currently wanted to self-medicate with MDMA, they run the risk of ingesting a highly impure chemical, one that might not even contain any MDMA at all.
Personally, I find the findings of the research very interesting. In a way, it is a shame that MDMA is so closely associated with the rave and party culture because this will prove harder to convince people that "prescription MDMA" has a purpose not just for recreational purposes, but for therapeutic purposes too.

Good man Prof. Nutt, been to a few of his lectures. I'm surprised he got the go ahead for this study as i remember him saying how difficult it is to research illegal drugs due to our laws.
It's been well known for a while that MDMA can have great medical uses but of course it's been very hard for scientists to get permission to study. From what i know about MDMA and PTSD, i don't think it would ever be prescribed as such - I think it is only beneficial when taken in a controlled setting with a psychotherapist.
imtelling
i agree that MDMA can be used as therapy but only if the taker is extremely strict with their intake.
these euphoric effect these drugs create is extremely unnatural and taxing on the system and if these kind of drugs are misused it will be thousand times worse for the patient in the long run.
anyone who has ever taken MDMA will know first hand of the extreme comedown which can last for days -- this comedown effect isa clue as to how these drugs 'deplete' the brain of its natural chemical balance. i would say this type of therapy must be higher controlled.
(Original post by imtelling)
I think that whilst you're correct about the initial effects with regards to MDMA - euphoria followed by a comedown - the study researched the potential use of the drug in terms of after effects. For example, if used during therapy, the subject may be able to talk freely and with ease about issues they may have been bottling up their whole lives, or to see difficult problems in a positive light. These positive aspects can stick with the patient and help alter their life for the better even after the initial effects (euphoria to comedown) have subsided. With supplements such as 5-HTP, if used for at least 7 days before ingesting MDMA, the comedown is significantly less severe to manage, and as such if it was used in therapy then one would hope a therapist would advise of this.

The following lists differences between MainBoss 2.9 Update 3 and the original MainBoss 2.9.
If a user does not have permission to browse work orders, the user will not be given permission to close a work order from the work order record (i.e. the Close & Save button will be disabled).
The Receiving Report (Inventory —> Reports —> Receiving) now includes the Unit Cost beside the quantity received. This is where the Waybill used to be. The Waybill number is now on a new detail line after the first line.
The Overdue Work Order report listed work orders whose "Work End" date has already passed (i.e. due yesterday or before). In earlier releases of MainBoss 2.9, the report include work orders that were due on the current date (i.e. jobs that were scheduled to end "today").
MainBoss places restrictions on the ability to delete records shown in browsers—you can only delete such items if you are logged in to ADMINISTRATOR or to a user who has permission to Reindex the database. However, Update 3 allows all users to delete records which have been created as part of creating other records. For example, if someone creates a Shipment Receipt record from the Receiving section of a Purchase Order window, the same person can delete that Shipment Receipt record using the same purchase order. However, the same person will not be able to delete Shipment Receipt using the Receipt browser unless the person has Reindex permission on the database.
This should make it easier for people to correct mistakes, while still maintaining the security of preventing unauthorized users from deleting information created by someone else.
The Purchase History report now makes note of Items received but not ordered. For example, if you are recording the contents of a shipment and the shipment contains items that weren't included in any purchase order, the Purchase History report contains a bold-faced warning before any line-item that reports excess items received.

What colour is the "green" movement?
Thu, 21 Jul 2016 - 11:45
What we need now is more opportunities for black people to rise up to leadership positions as role models, fighting against climate change issues but with the interest of black communities at heart.
What Africa's drought responses teach us about climate change hotspots
The world may still argue about whether or not climate change is for real. But in vast expanses of arid southern Africa, the daily struggle to cope with a changed climate is well under way. The lessons being learnt here on a small scale could prove vital in the fight for human survival.
How can we rise to the adaptation challenge? Learning from global best practice
Wed, 06 Jul 2016 - 13:45
At the beginning of the 2016 Adaptation Futures conference, Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC, stated that it is our moral responsibility to align with the 1.5°C goal that was aspired to in Paris. This effectively means that the peaking of global greenhouse gas emissions should occur within the next five years, and from then onwards emissions should decrease.
Climate Finance and Civil Society: What is the link?
Wed, 15 Jun 2016 - 12:57
In this blog post, Joan Momanyi, one of the ACDI master's students from the class of 2016, discusses and reflects on the links between climate finance and civil society.
Divestment from fossil fuels should be linked with active engagement
The global divestment movement is gaining steam. This involves investors like city councils,pension funds and universities publicly withdrawing their assets from coal, oil and gas companies – those which produce fossil fuels.
Changing the World One Step at a Time
Mon, 06 Jun 2016 - 18:15
Have you noticed how changing a habit takes such huge effort? It is often very difficult to break away from our preconditioned patterns. I notice how I always sit at the same seat in classroom, go to the same spot in the library or follow the same eating patterns. It is amazing how humans establish comfort zones which become hard to wean from in the long run. At Project 90 by 2030 everyone is a change agent.
Planning for climate responses' unintended fallout
Mon, 30 May 2016 - 14:39
Planning for the unintended fallout of efforts to offset the impact of climate change - so-called 'maladaptation' to climate change - is a relatively new concept in the field of climate change adaptation, according to researchers. They argue that a better conceptual outline is needed of what precisely maladaptation is, and that decision makers and stakeholders need a strong set of guidelines to help avoid these unintended consequences.
The complexity of global knowledge networks
Thu, 26 May 2016 - 12:55
At the core of knowledge networks are people working together to create and generate knowledge, share and spark new ideas. Knowledge networks entail a commitment to collaborative effort; bringing different groups of people together to achieve cross-sectoral knowledge exchange and learning for the betterment of research, practice and policy.
Understanding the micropolitics of mobility to mitigate climate change
Wed, 25 May 2016 - 16:45
In a world threatened by the increase of greenhouse gases (especially CO2), that have aggravated climate change, public transportation is seen as a solution to reduce these emissions and therefore to mitigate climate change. In the Global North, taking a bus or a tram is the cheapest and most convenient way to move around as it is very user friendly (the timetables are accessible online, give live updates, and the routes match residential areas, main hubs and work places).

Patanjali's Swadeshi Jeans Are Coming Soon! Can Baba Ramdev Beat The Foreign Brands?
Patanjali is really taking the market by storm with its super-reasonable and nice products and people are also buying them. To be precise, reviews about the products are good too. Starting from food and beverages to daily essentials and cosmetics, Baba Ramdev has brought a wide range of products that he claims to be completely natural.

But what he is yet to bring in the market is Patanjali clothing line. However, Baba Ramdev has finally declared that he is going to bring Patanjali garments and also a "swadeshi" version of jeans. Surprised? By the end of this year or in the beginning of the next, we are going to get a new and a desi brand of jeans.
Baba Ramdev, as we know, is trying to establish our faith on the merchandises produced in our nation. So, he is focusing on "desi" materials to create products just to fight against the foreign companies.
"My fight is against foreign companies trying to take over our economy. There's a great demand from the country's youths for jeans, the reason why Patanjali has decided to launch 'Indianised' jeans to compete with foreign brands",
– said Baba Ramdev.
He has already founded his factories outside of the country, mainly in Nepal and Bangladesh. Ramdev has also announced that, if Afghanistan and Pakistan permit him, then he also set up his units in these countries. Ramdev also said that he is going to set up his Patanjali unit in Nagpur on 40 Lakh Square Feet area which will be even bigger than the one they have in Haridwar.
"We've set up factories in Nepal and Bangladesh and are now approaching African nations. Profits earned would be used in those countries for development, and won't be ploughed back to India,"
– said Ramdev.

The investment will amount to Rs. 1000 crore and it has the potential to create job opportunities for 10,000 – 15,000 people in Maharashtra. Patanjali is also gearing up for their units in Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Jammu & Kashmir. Ramdev said that they will continue to produce quality products and also have R & D units where almost 200 scientists are associated.
Well, sounds like a huge plan. But are we really going to embrace jeans with a Patanjali tag? Let's see!

Bedfordshire FA open new 3G pitch in Cranfield
Bedfordshire FA and Cranfield Parish Council are delighted to announce that Cranfield Pavilion will be open for local grassroots football teams.
Thanks to an creative approach, the new Cranfield Pavilion will provide facilities for local grassroots football teams to use from the 2021-2022 season.
The £2.2 million project was made possible as a result of the excellent relationship between Central Bedfordshire Council, local Ward Members and the Bedfordshire Football Association (FA), that led to discussions with Bloor Homes and Cranfield Parish Council to explore the potential enhancements of the site. The aim was to provide a full-size 3G pitch with facilities to enable vital winter training provision and match play options to serve teams in Cranfield and the surrounding area.
Bloor Homes was required to provide a new sports ground with a grass football pitch and a pavilion as part of the adjacent new housing development (Cranfield Park); but the partners identified the opportunity to enhance this provision by bidding for a Football Foundation grant. Negotiations led to Bloor providing £1.1m in lieu of building the required basic grass pitch, enabling partners to put forward a bid to the Football Foundation for further funds to deliver an amazing floodlit 3G pitch instead.
The funds from Bloor Homes were bolstered by a successful funding award from the Premier League, The FA and Government's Football Foundation who provided a grant of £780,956, which enabled the delivery of the 3G pitch and pavilion.
As the new owners of the site, Cranfield Parish Council were confident that the Bedfordshire FA, as a not-for-profit organisation, would be best placed to run the scheme and operate the finished facility for the benefit of football and the community. The Parish Council have worked extremely hard with the Bedfordshire FA to successfully complete this project.
Cohesive foresight and planning by the partners and stakeholders contributed to the creation of an impressive state of the art facility that boasts a fully Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliant pavilion with two team changing rooms, male and female official changing rooms, education classroom, small office space, spectator toilets, kitchen servery and 67 car parking spaces.
Cranfield Colts and Cranfield United are the main partner clubs in Cranfield but the facility will enable the growth and development of affiliated male, female and disability football catering for a wide range of users. The site will also be the base for the Advanced Coaching Centre for Girls which is part of the England Talent Pathway, providing recreational opportunities to increase participation through initiatives like Walking Football, Just Play sessions and Veterans Football.
PCH Associates designed the site and SDC Builders Ltd were appointed as main contractors for the build of the pavilion and car park that started on the 13th July 2020. Charles Lawrence were appointed by Robinson Low Francis to oversee the delivery of the 3G pitch, fencing and floodlighting as part of the Football Foundation 3G pitch framework procurement process which is required to ensure the pitch meets the quality standard required for inclusion on the 3G Pitch Register.
Alan Young, CEO of Bedfordshire FA said: "Bedfordshire FA are delighted to be able to open this incredible new site for the local community, however it would not have been made possible without the support of Central Bedfordshire Council, Bloor Homes and Cranfield Parish Council in turning this vision into a reality. I would also like to place on record our thanks to the Football Foundation, Castele Ltd, PCH Associates and SDC Builders Ltd for their collective involvement and role they each played in ensuring that our local community now have a much needed facility to be proud of. This will not only help our existing clubs but will also support the growth of football locally by providing a top-class facility for every user that experiences it. We can't wait to officially open the new facility in conjunction with the support of colleagues at the Football Foundation when government guidelines allow."
CBC Ward Councillor Sue Clark said: "We are delighted it has been possible to bring forward this wonderful facility for the community to enjoy. Cranfield Parish Council have worked incredibly hard with Bedfordshire FA to deliver this project and should be warmly congratulated."
Councillor Delise Ball, Chair of Cranfield Parish Council said "I am delighted this wonderful facility is now ready and will fufil a much needed football requirement within Cranfield and Central Bedfordshire. This was only achieved by much hard work and finance by all partners including Cranfield Parish Council, Central Bedfordshire Council, the Football Foundation, Bedfordshire FA and Local Clubs".


As baseball and softball season are underway it is always important to review information that can help keep your student-athletes healthy all season. The rotator cuff is a very important part of the shoulder and is critical to performance when repetitively throwing overhead, such as in baseball or with the windmill pitch used in softball. In order to allow the rotator cuff to continue to function in its appropriate manner, proper care and maintenance is needed.
To begin, there should be some type of return-to-throwing progression implemented. Coming out of the winter break with some degree of time off and rest (two to four months is recommended), it is important to build the arm back up for the season. There is usually cold weather early in the season in the Midwest, so proper buildup of throwing volume should be completed.
Re-focus attention to strength and posture, especially in the mid-back and scapular (shoulder blade) region. Adolescents sit for prolonged periods of time in the classroom, in front of their video games and have a tendency to be less active in the winter, so their posture tends to decline. The muscles in the middle and upper back are critical to support the rotator cuff. Exercises such as lying on your stomach with I, Y and T movements, as well as stretching/mobilizing the thoracic spine can assist in performance, as well as injury prevention.
Finally, there needs to be continued compliance with pitch count recommendations with coaches, families and players assisting in accountability of the limits. The season continues to expand for our student-athletes with spring, summer and fall leagues in recreational, as well as travel-type programs. It is common to see our throwers hurt in April and May, with the inability to participate for the remainder of the season.
Our goal is for the players to enjoy the wonderful games of baseball and softball without missing time due to rotator cuff or other injuries.

Since data warehouse databases are constructed by combining selected data from several operational databases, data warehouse databases are inherently large. They are often the largest databases within an organization. The very size of these databases can make them very difficult and expensive to query.
Because data warehouse databases are constructed by combining data from several operational databases, data warehouse databases are structurally complex. They have many tables with a variety of relationships existing between the tables. This complexity makes them particularly difficult to query, because a typical question will involve a number of tables and each table must be properly joined into the logic of the query. Most business users have difficulty even knowing which tables must be included, much less how they must be joined into a question.

DSSI > Sophos > Casi la mitad de los programas maliciosos utilizan ahora TLS para ocultar las comunicaciones
Casi la mitad de los programas maliciosos utilizan ahora TLS para ocultar las comunicaciones
As more of the Internet uses Transport Layer Security, analysis of detection telemetry shows the volume of TLS encrypted communications by malware has doubled in a year.
By Sean Gallagher
Transport Layer Security has been one of the greatest contributors to the privacy and security of Internet communications over the past decade. The TLS cryptographic protocol is used to secure an ever-increasing portion of the Internet's web, messaging and application data traffic. The secure HTTP (HTTPS) web protocol, StartTLS email protocol, Tor anonymizing network, and virtual private networks such as those based on the OpenVPN protocol all leverage TLS to encrypt and encapsulate their contents—protecting them from being observed or modified in transit.
Over the past decade, and particularly in the wake of revelations about mass Internet surveillance, the use of TLS has grown to cover a majority of Internet communications. According to browser data from Google, the use of HTTPS has grown from just over 40 percent of all web page visits in 2014 to 98 percent in March of 2021.
It should come as no surprise, then, that malware operators have also been adopting TLS for essentially the same reasons: to prevent defenders from detecting and stopping deployment of malware and theft of data. We've seen dramatic growth over the past year in malware using TLS to conceal its communications. In 2020, 23 percent of malware we detected communicating with a remote system over the Internet were using TLS; today, it is nearly 46 percent.
A breakdown of malware outbound communications for the first 3 months of 2021.
There's also a significant fraction of TLS communications that use an Internet Protocol port other than 443—such as malware using a Tor or SOCKS proxy over a non-standard port number. We queried against certificate transparency logs with the host names associated with malware Internet communications on ports other than 443, 80, and 8080, and found that 49 percent of the hosts had TLS certificates associated with them that were issued by a Certificate Authority (CA). A small fraction of the others manually checked used self-signed certificates.
But a large portion of the growth in overall TLS use by malware can be linked in part to the increased use of legitimate web and cloud services protected by TLS—such as Discord, Pastebin, Github and Google's cloud services—as repositories for malware components, as destinations for stolen data, and even to send commands to botnets and other malware. It is also linked to the increased use of Tor and other TLS-based network proxies to encapsulate malicious communications between malware and the actors deploying them.
A breakdown of the destinations of TLS malware "callhome" traffic by ISP for the first three months of 2021.
Google's cloud services were the destination for nine percent of malware TLS requests, with India's BSNL close behind. During the month of March 2021, we saw a rise in the use of Cloudflare-hosted malware—largely because of a spike in the use of Discord's content delivery network, which is based on Cloudflare, which by itself accounted for 4 percent of the detected TLS malware that month. We reported over 9,700 malware related links to Discord; many were Discord-specific, targeting the theft of user credentials, while others were delivery packages for other information stealers and trojans.
In aggregate, nearly half of all malware TLS communications went to servers in the United States and India.
We've seen an increase in the use of TLS use in ransomware attacks over the past year, especially in manually-deployed ransomware—in part because of attackers' use of modular offensive tools that leverage HTTPS. But the vast majority of what we detect day-to-day in malicious TLS traffic is from initial-compromise malware: loaders, droppers and document-based installers reaching back to secured web pages to retrieve their installation packages.
To gain insight into how usage of TLS in malware has changed, we took a deep dive into our detection telemetry to both measure how much TLS is used by malware, identify the most common malware that leverage TLS, and how those malware make use of TLS-encrypted communications. Based on our detection telemetry, we found that while TLS still makes up an average of just over two percent of the overall traffic Sophos classifies as "malware callhome" over a three-month period, 56 percent of the unique C2 servers (identified by DNS host names) that communicated with malware used HTTPS and TLS. And of that, nearly a quarter is with infrastructure residing in Google's cloud environment.
Malware communications typically fall into three categories: downloading additional malware, exfiltration of stolen data, and retrieval or sending of instructions to trigger specific functions (command and control). All these types of communications can take advantage of TLS encryption to evade detection by defenders. But the majority of TLS traffic we found tied to malware was of the first kind: droppers, loaders and other malware downloading additional malware to the system they infected, using TLS to evade basic payload inspection.
It doesn't take much sophistication to leverage TLS in a malware dropper, because TLS-enabled infrastructure to deliver malware or code snippets is freely available. Frequently, droppers and loaders use legitimate websites and cloud services with built-in TLS support to further disguise the traffic. For example, this traffic from a Bladabindi RAT dropper shows it attempting to retrieve its payload from a Pastebin page. (The page no longer exists.)
TLS traffic from a Bladabini RAT dropper attempting to retrieve second-stage code from Pastebin over TLS.
We've seen numerous cases of malware behaving this way in our research. The PowerShell-based dropper for LockBit ransomware was observed retrieving additional script from a Google Docs spreadsheet via TLS, as well as from another website. And a dropper for AgentTesla (discussed later in this report) also has been observed accessing Pastebin over TLS to retrieve chunks of code. While Google and Pastebin often quickly shut down malware-hosting documents and sites on its platform, many of these C2 sources are abandoned after a single spam campaign, and the attackers simply create new ones for their next attack.
Sometimes malware uses multiple services this way in a single attack. For example, one of the numerous malware droppers we found in Discord's content delivery network dropped another stage also hosted on Discord, which in turn attempted to load an executable directly from GitHub. (The GitHub code had already been removed as malicious; we disclosed the initial stages of the malware attack to Discord, along with numerous other malware, who removed them.)

Malware download traffic actually makes up the majority of the TLS-based C2 traffic we observed. In February 2021, for instance, droppers made up over 90 percent of the TLS C2 traffic—a figure that closely matches the static C2 detection telemetry data associated with similar malware month-to-month from January through March of 2021.
Covert channels
Malware operators can use TLS to obfuscate command and control traffic. By sending HTTPS requests or connecting over a TLS-based proxy service, the malware can create a reverse shell, allowing commands to be passed to the malware, or for the malware to retrieve blocks of script or required keys needed for specific functions. Command and control servers can be a remote dedicated web server, or they can be based on one or more documents in legitimate cloud services. For example, the Lampion Portuguese banking trojan used a Google Docs text document as the source for a key required to unlock some of its code—and deleting the document acted as a kill-switch. By leveraging Google Docs, the actors behind Lampion were able to conceal controlling communications to the malware and evade reputation-based detection by using a trusted host.
The (now trashed) Google document used to pass a key to the Lampion banking trojan.
The same sort of connection can be used by malware to exfiltrate sensitive information—transmitting user credentials, passwords, cookies, and other collected data back to the malware's operator. To conceal data theft , malware can encapsulate it in a TLS-based HTTPS POST, or export it via a TLS connection to a cloud service API, such as Telegram or Discord "bot" APIs.
SystemBC
One example of how attackers use TLS maliciously is SystemBC, a multifaceted malicious communications tool used in a number of recent ransomware attacks. The first samples of SystemBC, spotted over a year ago, acted primarily as a network proxy, creating what amounted to a virtual private network connection for attackers based on SOCKS5 remote proxy connection encrypted with TLS—providing concealed communications for other malware. But the malware has continued to evolve, and more recent samples of SystemBC are more full-featured remote access trojans (RATs) that provide a persistent backdoor for attackers once deployed. The most recent version of SystemBC can issue Windows commands, as well as deliver and run scripts, malicious executables, and dynamic link libraries (DLLs)—in addition to its role as a network proxy.
SystemBC is not entirely stealthy, however. There's a lot of non-TLS, non-Tor traffic generated by SystemBC—symptomatic of the incremental addition of features seen in many long-lived malware. The sample we recently analyzed has a TCP "heartbeat" that connects over port 49630 to a host hard-coded into the SystemBC RAT itself.
The first TLS connection is an HTTPS request to a proxy for IPify, an API that can be used to obtain the public IP address of the infected system. But this request is sent not on port 443, the standard HTTPS port—instead, it's sent on port 49271. This non-standard port usage is the beginning of a pattern.
SystemBC using TLS and HTTPS to connect to IPify to obtain the system's public Internet address.
SystemBC then attempts to obtain data about the current Tor network consensus, connecting to hard-coded IP addresses with an HTTP GET request, but via ports 49272 and 49273. SystemBC uses the connections to download information about the current Tor network configuration.
SystemBC collects Tor network data.
Next, SystemBC establishes a TLS connection to a Tor gateway picked from the Tor network data. Again, it uses another non-standard port: 49274. And it builds the Tor circuit to the destination of its Tor tunnel using directory data collected via port 49275 via another HTTP request. There, the progression of sequential ports ends, and in the sample we analyzed it tries to fetch another malware executable via an open HTTP request over the standard port.
The file retrieved by this sample, henos.exe, is another backdoor that connects over TLS on the standard port (443) to a website that returns links to Telegram channels—a sign that the actor behind this SystemBC instance is evolving tactics. SystemBC is likely to continue to evolve as well, as its developers address the mixed use of HTTP and TLS and the somewhat predictable non-standard ports that allow SystemBC to be easily fingerprinted.
AgentTesla
Like SystemBC, AgentTesla—an information stealer that can also function in some cases as a RAT—has evolved over its long history. Active for more than seven years, AgentTesla has recently been updated with an option to use the Tor anonymizing network to conceal traffic with TLS.
We've also seen TLS used in one of AgentTesla's most recent downloaders, as the developers have used legitimate web services to store chunks of malware encoded in base64 format on Pastebin and a lookalike service called Hastebin. The first stage downloader further tries to evade detection by patching Windows' Anti-Malware Software Interface (AMSI) to prevent in-memory scanning of the downloaded code chunks as they're joined and decoded.
A packet capture of traffic from AgentTesla's installer attempting to connect to Pastebin over TLS.
The Tor addition to AgentTesla itself can be used to conceal communications over HTTP. There is also another optional C2 protocols in AgentTesla that that could be TLS protected—the Telegram Bot API, which uses an HTTPS server for receiving messages. However, the AgentTesla developer didn't implement HTTPS communications in the malware (at least for now)—it fails to execute a TLS handshake. Telegram accepts unencrypted HTTP messages sent to its bot API.
Dridex
Dridex is yet another long-lived malware family that has seen substantial recent evolution. Primarily a banking Trojan, Dridex was first spotted in 2011, but it has evolved substantially. It can load new functionality through downloaded modules, in a fashion similar to the Trickbot Trojan. Dridex modules may be downloaded together in an initial compromise of the affected system, or retrieved later by the main loader module. Each module is responsible for performing specific functions: stealing credentials, exfiltrating browser cookie data or security certificates, logging keystrokes, or taking screenshots.
Dridex's loader has been updated to conceal communications, encapsulating them with TLS. It uses HTTPS on port 443 both to download additional modules from and exfiltrate collected data to the C2 server. Exfiltrated data can additionally be encrypted with RC4 to further conceal and secure it. Dridex also has a resilient infrastructure of command and control (C2) servers, allowing installed malware to fail over to a backup if its original C2 server goes down.
These updates have made Dridex a continuing threat, and Dridex loaders are among the most common families of malware detected using TLS—overshadowed only by the next group of threats in our TLS rogues' gallery: off-the-shelf "offensive security" tools repurposed by cybercriminals.
Metasploit and Cobalt Strike
Offensive security tools have long been used by malicious actors as well as security professionals. These commercial and open-source tools, including the modular Cobalt Strike and Metasploit toolkits, were built for penetration testing and "red team" security evaluations—but they've been embraced by ransomware groups for their flexibility.
Over the last year, we've seen a surge in the use of tools derived from offensive security platforms in manually-deployed ransomware attacks, used by attackers to execute scripts, gather information about other systems on the network, extract additional credentials, and spread ransomware and other malware.
A Cobalt Strike configuration file from a recent Conti ransomware attack. The Cobalt Strike beacon used HTTPS and TLS to communicate with the C2 server in the attack.
Taken together, Cobalt Strike beacons and Metasploit "Meterpreter" derivatives made up over 1 percent of all detected malware using TLS—a significant number in comparison to other major malware families.
And all the rest
Potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), particularly on the macOS platform, also leverage TLS, often through browser extensions that connect surreptitiously to C2 servers to exfiltrate information and inject content into other web pages. We've seen the Bundlore use TLS to conceal malicious scripts and inject advertisements and other content into web pages, undetected. Overall, we found over 89 percent of macOS threats with C2 communications used TLS to call home or retrieve additional harmful code.
There are many other privacy and security threats lurking in TLS traffic beyond malware and PUAs. Phishing campaigns increasingly rely on websites with TLS certificates—either registered to a deceptive domain name or provided by a cloud service provider. Google Forms phishing attacks may seem easy to spot, but users trained to "look for the lock" alongside web addresses in their browser may casually type in their personally identifying data and credentials.
Even with the Comic Sans font and the Google Forms URL, some may still fall for this phish.
All of this adds up to a more than 100 percent increase in TLS-based malware communications since 2020. And that's a conservative estimate, as it's based solely on what we could identify through telemetry analysis and host data.
As we've noted, some use TLS over non-standard IP ports, making a completely accurate assessment of TLS usage impossible without deeper packet analysis of their communications. So the statistics sited in this report do not reflect the full range of TLS-based malicious communications—and organizations should not rely on the port numbers related to communications alone to identify potential malicious traffic. TLS can be implemented over any assignable IP port, and after the initial handshake it looks like any other TCP application traffic.
Even so, the most concerning trend we've noted is the use of commercial cloud and web services as part of malware deployment, command and control. Malware authors' abuse of legitimate communication platforms gives them the benefit of encrypted communications provided by Google Docs, Discord, Telegram, Pastebin and others—and, in some cases, they also benefit from the "safe" reputation of those platforms.
We also see the use of off-the-shelf offensive security tools and other ready-made tools and application programming interfaces that make using TLS-based communications more accessible continuing to grow. The same services and technologies that have made obtaining TLS certificates and configuring HTTPS websites vastly simpler for small organizations and individuals have also made it easier for malicious actors to blend in with legitimate Internet traffic, and have dramatically reduced the work needed to frequently shift or replicate C2 infrastructure.
All of these factors make defending against malware attacks that much more difficult. Without a defense in depth, organizations may be increasingly less likely to detect threats on the wire before they have been deployed by attackers.

Premier League Soccer
Liverpool Captain Steven Gerrard May Return From Groin Injury to Face West Brom
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard is hoping to return to the lineup on Saturday, after a long absence to due to a groin injury, according to ESPNsoccernet.
Gerrard is speculated to have suffered the injury on Feb. 6. He tried to return at the end of the month but was forced to have surgery mid-March.
The 30-year-old wasn't expected to return until a month later, in mid-April. Coach Steve Clarke stated that the midfielder may be ready for the Reds' match against the Baggies.
"It's good, I'm probably three or four days away from full training, so hopefully I'll be involved against West Brom," he told Sky Sports. "It depends on how the next three or four days go.
"Being injured is the worst part of being a footballer. It's frustrating missing games being on the treatment table, so you do everything you can in your rehab and away from football to get back as quickly as possible."

does one work quicker than the other?
any particular products you would recommend?
Heat gun and scraping will take time,gel will no doubt be quicker and easier but I've never used it,last time I did banister I used heat gun and drimmel to get into tight corners.
As for doors we removed them and got them dipped and striped by guy I used to work with depends what you plan to do after she wanted bare wood so took longer than if we were just gonna paint them again.
I don't envy you - I've done this a few years ago in my last house.
I used a combination of Nitromors, heat gun and very scraping hooks - and wire brush/course sandpaper.
Dip the stuff you can unscrew, such as doors, heat & scrape all the flat surfaces and chemically remove from all the nooks and crannies you can't get to easily.
I had my doors stripped and they look really good, I could not believe how good they looked.
The Earlex heat gun you are looking at is very good for the banister, I done ours with it but mainly used my own wallpaper stripper tool and the little triangle one in the box is good for getting into small spaces, I also used a flat head screwdriver very carefully on awkward bits so as not too damage the wood. The nozzles that come with the gun are quite good because the 3rd one down on the left spreads heat evenly and it has two temperature settings. Depends on the type of paint as well because some of mine was really hardened and just softened and was like glue and had to be sanded off, other places it came off like chocolate curls. You could be lucky and have it done really quickly or else it will take ages.
The active ingredient in paint stripper was removed several years back due to people making claims for inhalation or burns or something so if you want one that works you have to go to a proper hardware store that supplies for trade. I bought nitromors and took it back because it was about as effective as nail polish remover, it done nothing but smelt terrible. For little jobs I found that the B&Q own make Diall have a paint stripper and it removed little blotches of paint and excess wood stain for me but I don't think it would be good for big jobs.
Black and Decker sanding mouse is a good tool to have for finishing up and remember that you can glue your own sandpaper onto the pads because it is expensive to buy them separately, I got some of the heavy duty glass papers from Wilkinson, the green one and it works really well but you have to be careful as it is really aggressive on soft woods.
Almost forgot if you find a paint stripper that works then a small paint brush (one used for art stuff) is good for awkward spots.
Peelaway paint stripper is good. No mess and non caustic.
Do you know how old the paint you're stripping is? If it's likely to contain lead, you need to carefully consider the best way to strip it.
For the amount of time , effort and money involved ..................it may be cheaper to just replace the woodwork . Yes ,doors are easy as they can be dipped but burning or using something like Nitromors is a timing consuming process . Banisters and spindles can be removed to be dipped , but burning off the paint with a heat gun is a nightmare , smoke filling the rooms setting off your smoke alarms .
I'm a decorator and seldom get asked to burn off paint except exterior window sills . It's time consuming and costly.
Work out how much wood you need and compare prices for new wood before you do anything.
I agree with ricko on this as my apprenticeship when I was a kid was painter and decorator. Just try to get new skirting and door frames as a good joiner won't charge that much if you get new doors fitted too.
I'd get new if you can or get someone else to do it,or just paint over it.
There were years of paint on the architraving etc but personally I wouldn't use a heat gun again,I couldn't get to grips with it.
Do not use paint stripper!!!!
It is really really messy - use a heat gun - it's faster and easier and also easier to clean up the stripped paint, as there is no gooey mess afterwards.
You could also post a couple of images of what it looks like now so they can get a better idea on the best advice to give you?
Are you going to remove the paint for staining and varnishing or repainting? Is it fairly new or years old paint? Remember old paint may contain lead.
What they said about the heat gun setting off the smoke alarm is what happened to me all the time, only my paint was just under 20 years old and was really difficult to remove it took me months of hard work and I had to use gun,stripper and sander. I originally wanted to do the same with the spindles but didn't have years to spare on the project so ended up sanding them down and painting them over. The heat gun I had to learn how to use it properly because like I said some paint came off easy other bits turned glue-like or just burned. If you have loads of time and want to do it as an ongoing project I would say go ahead and you will be proud of your work especially if you want to live there for a long time and are looking to save money, although it also might be cheaper to replace some bits.
We need to see some pictures really that would help you a lot.

So much beauty to look at this a.m. in your blog. I love the little wren.... We have been so warm & so much is up early. Just hope nothing gets frosted on the way to Summer!!
What a wonderful post! Thanks so much for sharing at the Etsy Garden Party!
So pretty, your lucky to have such pretty flowers to look at each day.
Things haven't even begun to bloom here in Idaho...another month or so, I guess. I can hardly wait for the explosion of green and color.
Hey pretty girl, what a beautiful spring post! Your photos are gorgeous, such lovely spring flowers, just perfect to wake up every morning and see natures beauty.
ECS Cottage Garden Party. Hope the storm wasn't too bad. By the time they get from you to us they fritter away..thank goodness.
Love your sweet bird and nest...just wonderful. You've got so much blooming in the garden already, lucky you. I do have some daffodils here, our weather has been great as well so, all is good, we are having an early spring.
Glad you liked the canvas cards. I did them for my licensing agency actually and just figured since I was doing that, I could make them on gallery canvas as keepsakes for people. I wish you great luck with yours and think it will be wonderful with your ETSY shop.
I'm putting most if not all of my energies into licensing these days as I feel that is the way for me to go but I'm painting as much of it as I can on canvas so hopefully, can sell the art as well.
Happy spring to you my friend...keep up the great work.
Oh wow what a lot of flowers are already blooming in your garden! It's obvious that it's much warmer over there than that it's here in the Netherlands. I only have pansies blooming LOL! We even still have frost during the nights! I love your new paintwork. That wren is so so sweet! What a master painter you are! Everything you share is beautiful!
Blessings, Milady! And happy Spring to you! Such amazing blooms already out where you are! We have buds here in Jersey, but no blooms other than daffodils and hyacinths. But, the buds promise greater things - don't you know! Love your painted roses - such sweet strokes and soft petals. Great idea with the bucket. Some of those finishing products look like something I might give a try using later this summer when I've promised myself to get back to crafting. School will be out and I'll hopefully have more art time! See you round the blog!

My advice is to read the book rather than listen to this. Whether it was stapling his nutsack to his leg, or routinely risking death invading the private lives o.

Easy Rider, Raging Bulls follows the wild ride that was Hollywood in the 70s - an unabashed celebration of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll both on screen and off and a climate where innovation and experimentation reigned supreme. In , a routine network television investigation led Ronan Farrow to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood's most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family. 🧕

10th St. Apartments
CSO / Detention System
Riverside Development
MAP Engineers
Brown Bros., Inc.
DuroMaxx® SRPE Detention System,60-in. diameter, 15 PSI, 7075 CF
Vortechs® 5000 HDS System
DuroMaxx® SRPE CSO System, 84-in. diameter, 30 PSI, 12,971 CF
At the intersection of 10th Street and Douglas Street, development plans were underway to expand the available student housing by private developer, Riverside Development. This was a welcome change and would go a long way in helping to alleviate the campus housing shortage at nearby University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC). In response to this shortage, Riverside Development would build a seven story student apartment building just off M.L. King Boulevard that would help to accommodate the student population housing issues. This would bring students into a neighborhood predominantly full of vacant storefronts – welcome refreshment that would set the tone for all future development in an area where mostly unoccupied, industrial or office space could be seen.
As a part of this new residential development, a detention system combined with a hydrodynamic separator (HDS) system was needed for the future urban residential development. Given the relatively tight site constraints of the site, it was also crucial that whatever solution could be installed with a relatively small footprint.
MAP Engineers determined that the answer to this complex project was to utilize a solution manufactured by Contech Engineered Solutions. After a review of a few other alternatives, this proposal proved to be the most cost effective and space efficient option. MAP selected an underground DuroMaxx® steel reinforce polyethylene (SRPE) detention and a high-performance hydrodynamic separator that would effectively remove finer sediment – the Vortechs® 5000 system – for the initial stormwater treatment.
As part of the secondary portion of the project which would also be handling sanitary sewer storage, a DuroMaxx® SRPE combined sewer overflow (CSO) system was selected. The steel ribbing of the unique DuroMaxx profile would provide the necessary structural integrity of the system; while the lightweight material made installation with smaller equipment an unexpected possibility by the contractor, Brown Bros. Inc. Sub-contractor, Chase Plumbing and Mechanical of Chattanooga, performed an extrusion welding on the joints for a watertight, 30 PSI welded, leak-free system. As part of the project requirements inherent given the close surrounding quarters, the system would need to be structurally capable under a parking garage/building directly aboveground with only two feet of cover. The strength, durability and joint tightness of Contech's DuroMaxx steel reinforced polyethylene made this a better material choice for the tanks than other similar solutions.
After a review of the geotechnical analysis of the local area and the estimated storage capacity needed, MAP Engineers looked to an 84-in diameter system capable of 12,971 CF of storage. Contech assisted MAP with the design and then quickly manufactured a complete system which arrived to the site within the specified deadline. Owner of MAP Engineers, Mike Price, P.E. stated, "I was extremely pleased with not only the product, but with Contech's hands-on method to help ensure an easy installation and commissioning of all three systems."

The problem using this is always that many computers store a lot of temporary files instantly which regularly creates a cluttered hard disk drive as time passes. The easy treatment for solve this problem is always to adjust the amount of space your pc enables to be used of those files. I'll list the steps for Ie and FireFox below.
If you work with Ie, open a completely new browser window. Once that window is open, go to the menu known as "Tools" which exist top right hands Corner from the screen and select "Internet Options". Whenever your within Internet options, pick the tab known as "General" and select the "settings" button for temporary Internet Files.

4. Check to make certain that other wireless goods are not disturbing your router. Wireless devices that operate in the same GHz (Gigahertz) ofter cause each other problems. You can examine the GHz (Gigahertz) from the devises by simple viewing the label on the device.

7 Points Away From Able Seaman!
Any one interested or would like to make an offer please let me know.
I remember going to a model boat club meet in Crosby Liverpool back in the early 60's ( cannot remember the name of the lake though) There were plenty of IC models plus one guy who had a steam powered trawler and he was busy stoking the thing with pine chips to get steam up. As I remember a beautiful boat. Maybe the way forward is steam????
Couldn't agree more. My first boat build by my dad and I in the late 50' also had an I.C engine. I think it was a Frog 3.5??
sounds like a very spurious e mail. Definitely to be avoided and deleted!!!!
That is a beautiful model. Wish I could be as good!!! Mine are a little less professional!

It's back to the day job for many players across Europe, returning from international fixtures. Carlos Tevez is expected back in Manchester - in different circumstances - as his two-week suspension is up.
As the story goes, Tevez refused his manager Roberto Mancini's command to come off the bench, two weeks ago against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. His side slipped to a defeat which now makes progression from a very real 'Group of Death' an even harder proposition, Tevez has been scorned from all directions, and punished by the club.
Of course, the truth may be different, with the Argentine striker claiming he did not refuse to play, and a misunderstanding was to blame. Of course, he may not have changed the course of the game one jot. But - just about unique among City's attacking talents - Tevez could so brilliantly have done something, reminded us that he is worth the effort. The most disappointing thing - for the admirer of all that the Argentine can do - was that he failed to make the most of an opportunity given.
The Allianz Arena was ready and primed to be his stage. The stage to confound those who chose not to pursue his signature in the summer, to confound his manager and to confound the watching millions who have increasingly written him off as not worth the bother; a doer of more harm than good. Manchester City were 2-0 down at the splendid home of one of European soccer's genuine all-time heavyweights, being taught a lesson. On city's big night in Europe, Tevez had been left out. But, even in the second half, the game wasn't up - not with the attacking vibrancy of this new City, and the in-built fragility of Bayern Munich's defence - and he was now being called upon to rescue the team that was once - and could again be - his.
If only Mancini could have got him on the pitch. And, indeed, that's always been the crux of the Tevez problem. Between those white lines, he's always been a model professional - fantastic ability allied to a willingness to chase every ball. Everything that's gone on around them, though, has been a nightmare. There was an awful lot of fuss when he arrived, with compatriot Javier Mascherano, on British shores - as a player we knew very little about - back in 2006. It didn't go well at first at West Ham United, but when he was given his chance, he took it, scoring against Manchester United to keep the Hammers up on the last day of the season.
The controversy around whether it was right that he and Mascherano played in the Premier League that year, given that they breached the league's third-party ownership rules, rumbles on - especially if you put a microphone near former Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock.
Tevez himself was allowed to go onwards and upwards, to Manchester United, where he won Champions League and Premier League titles - before leaving for their rivals two years later with some serious parting shots. On the pitch at City, he's scored plenty of goals, and led the side to the first trophy of their new era in May. Off it, he's expressed his distaste for the city of Manchester, the club, and its staff, and been stripped of the captaincy. That was before the recent shenanigans.
For Tevez, the very worrying thing right now is that he needs Manchester City more than they need him. Edin Dzeko's showed at the start of this season how well he can lead the line. Sergio Aguero's arrival must have been an even more chastening experience for Tevez, because in not just style and shape but nationality, he appears a direct replacement.
Then there's the unmistakeable ability of Mario Balotelli - who now, in comparison, looks like the happy camper. Add in Samir Nasri and the genius of David Silva and this team's going somewhere - with or without Tevez. He's now 27 - and while he's enjoyed success and acclaim with both Manchester clubs, he's not played in Italy or Spain, nor have Argentina impressed on the world stage since he's been in their ranks. Who would take him now?
If you believe what you read in the papers, West Ham would. That would be a sublime twist in, even the Tevez, tale. Offers from soccer's new richlands could also be forthcoming.
Intriguingly, there's the derby, City's first encounter of the season with Manchester United, on October 23. Tevez has enjoyed considerable success against his former side in the past - but surely not again. Roberto Mancini's words were decisive after the Bayern Munich farce, Tevez "finished" at City now. He could even be sacked by the club, who look set to make their decisive call on the player tomorrow.
The one thing we do know is that the Carlos Tevez story isn't over yet. He'll continue to entertain and to bewilder us.
