Massigny
Saulon
Digging Deeper into a Family Winery
One can't talk about Burgundy without talking wine. Beginning in an offshoot of Champagne, bisecting the Cote d'Or, and then onto the Bourgogne with a finish in Nuits-Saint-Georges, traveling along the wine route in this part of Frnace will make one's mouth water with excitement. Along the way in the off the beaten path village of Massigny is a unique way to learn more about wine, viticulture, and tasting. Here, the wine specialty is a Cremant de Bourgogne, a sparkling variety. Perhaps not as well-known as the Burgundian wines south of Dijon, this wine is a balance of the Champagne and Burgundy. The Oenocentre Ampelopsis itself is a tiny vineyard and museum established in 2003. The vineyard itself, however, began one hundred years earlier. The center offers rudimentary exhibits, videos, games, and sensory experiences focused on exposing kids and adults alike into the local nature of growing wine. It is the interactions with the winemakers, however, that truly make this a wonderful experience. Sure, conversing with the wine maker in France is not an altogether unusual experience. But in a context of education, this becomes an exceptional site. The Board of Governors of Wine Tourism in Paris presented the center with its inaugural prize for wine tourism in 2011. Now it's your turn to discover this oenophile experience in the Bourgogne.
Hotel Chateau de Saulon
France is famous for its unique lodging opportunities. The vineyards of the Cote d'Or offer an even more breathtaking experience that is characterized best by the Chateau de Saulon. Located just ten kilometers south of old Dijon and a mere five kilometers east of the nearest vineyard, the Chateau is situated in an idyllic and almost surreal setting. The manor house was constructed over the course of the 16th and 17th centuries and situated in a park-like setting of 27 hectares (66 acres). Immediately, an aura of restful relaxation strikes the lucky traveler as they turn off the Rue de Dijon and onto the long drive lined with wonderfully large trees that perfectly frame the 3½ story chateau nearly three hundred meters away. Crossing a small bridge, I am giddy with excitement at this historic chateau that comes complete with all the accoutrements that include two pigeonniers guarding the house. And yet among all this charm, the façade neatly incorporates modern glass additions that in compliment rather than detract from the integrity of the historical character. On the inside, the Chateau is just as charming. With a stylish mix of old time charm and new age modernism, the Chateau is unlike anything you could have pictured. Among the hotel's thirty-two guest rooms, I stay in a cozy space overlooking the unassuming but pristine rear terrace. On a sunny day, the windows open wide to let in the quiet air of Bourgogne. Grab a bite to eat in the elegant restaurant featuring the chef's favorite local seasonal products or sip on an aperitif on the terrace while watching the sun go down over the pool. In all, this 3-star Michelin hotel rating is not only magnificent, it is a downright bargain at only 129 euros for a standard room. At this rate, the Chateau de Saulon may be the best deal in France.
The Origins of the Seine
I am fascinated by the notion that major rivers originate as streams. With the Seine playing such a prominent place in French history and society, this fact is all the more impressive. As one creeps further upstream, the river's importance to these small town becomes more evident and we begin to see towns named Mussy-sur-Seine, Châtillon-sur-Seine, Nod-sur-Seine, Aisey-sur-Seine, Saint-Marc-sur-Seine, Quemigny-sur-Seine … the list goes on. The latter is only twenty kilometers from the source of the river and more than two hundred kilometers from Paris. In total, the Seine flows for 776 kilometers. Further downstream, the Seine is wide, measuring 118 meters at the Eiffel Tower and 200 meters just south of Rouen. At La Havre, the Seine empties into la Manche at 700 plus meters wide. For comparison, the Seine at Aisey-sure-Seine is a mere 7 meters wide, nothing really more than a stream or creek. Of course a river's width and depth have tremendous implications on transportation and therefore, development which is why such places downstream never grew more than smaller, more intimate, and rustic settlements. The Source-Seine itself is more like a religious grotto than a natural landmark, perhaps due to the importance placed on this site by ancient Romans and Gallic tribes. The site is so important today that the city of Paris purchased the property in 1864 which was quickly followed by the construction of the grotto and nymph statue protecting the source today.

Ballard, now a suburb of Seattle, was once very much the area "capital" of Swede and Norge immigrants. As I kid I was sitting on a bus bench with an old man who began telling jokes that went over my head.
So, .. ya know what a hair cut costs dare in a Ballard ?
Well, itsa FOUR dollars, don'cha know ? .. a dollar a side !
He laughed like hell as I sat there trying to figure out what he meant.
Apparently, locals were known as "square heads" in the old days.
Much funnier now than to a 12 year old kid.

Sun's conjecture on sums of primes and triangular numbers
Conjecture. (Zhi-Wei Sun) Any positive integer n≠216 is either a prime number pi, a triangular number Tj or the sum of a prime number and a triangular number pi+Tj.
For example, 47 = 37 + 10; 37 is a prime number and 10 is a triangular number. (There are other solutions).
Although there are infinitely many triangular numbers, they are spaced farther apart as their indexes get larger. But no matter how large Tj might be, the next higher triangular number is always j+1 away. To put it algebraically, Tj+1=Tj+(j+1), with T1=1 (or T0=0 if one likes). It is also true that there are infinitely many prime numbers, but the distance between one prime and the next is not as neatly predictable as it is for the triangular numbers; there is no known simple formula that takes n as its sole argument and gives the nth prime as its output. There could very well be a record-setting prime gap that is immediately followed by a prime quadruplet , but that's another conjecture altogether. The point is that the larger n is the less likely it is to be a prime or a triangular number. From this line of reasoning, it would be easy to jump to the conclusion that it is also less likely to be the sum of a prime and a triangular number.
That would be hasty. In contrast to the decreasing likelyhood of primality or triangularity, for larger n the value of π(n) (the prime counting function) increases, as does τ(n) (the triangular number counting function, here represented by that much overloaded Greek letter). Thus there is a greater likelihood that one of the values of n-pi (for 0<i<π(n)) will be a triangular number, or that one of the values of n-Tj (for 0<j<τ(n)) will be a prime number. For most numbers less than 512, there is more than one representation as the sum of a prime and a triangular number.
There are many theorems and conjectures in additive number theory in the mold of "Every sufficiently large number is the sum of two or three numbers of a specific kind," with the word "sufficiently large" indicating a greater than inequality. For example, every even n>46 is the sum of two abundant numbers. So, besides involving numbers of two different kinds rather than two or three of the same kind, this conjecture is also unusual in that it gives a negated equality rather than a greater than inequality.
Sun has checked it for n below 17000000. He admits 0 as a triangular number and almost tacitly 0 as a prime number. The conjecture has been stated the differently here so as to not identify 0 as a prime number. In the range 1 to 512, only in the cases of 2 and 61 is it necessary to accept 0 as a triangular number. The differences 216-Tj are: 6, 26, 45, 63, 80, 96, 111, 125, 138, 150, 161, 171, 180, 188, 195, 201, 206, 210, 213, 215; a list that includes some semiprimes.

Increasing Tetrahydrobiopterin in Cardiomyocytes Adversely Affects Cardiac Redox State and Mitochondrial Function Independently of Changes in NO Production

Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) represents a potential strategy for the treatment of cardiac remodeling, fibrosis and/or diastolic dysfunction. The effects of oral treatment with BH4 (Sapropterin™ or Kuvan™) are however dose-limiting with high dose negating functional improvements. Cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of GTP cyclohydrolase I (mGCH) increases BH4 several-fold in the heart. Using this model, we aimed to establish the cardiomyocyte-specific responses to high levels of BH4. Quantification of BH4 and BH2 in mGCH transgenic hearts showed age-based variations in BH4:BH2 ratios. Hearts of mice (<6 >months) have lower BH4:BH2 ratios than hearts of older mice while both GTPCH activity and tissue ascorbate levels were higher in hearts of young than older mice. No evident changes in nitric oxide (NO) production assessed by nitrite and endogenous iron–nitrosyl complexes were detected in any of the age groups. Increased BH4 production in cardiomyocytes resulted in a significant loss of mitochondrial function. Diminished oxygen consumption and reserve capacity was verified in mitochondria isolated from hearts of 12-month old compared to 3-month old mice, even though at 12 months an improved BH4:BH2 ratio is established. Accumulation of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and decreased glutathione levels were found in the mGCH hearts and isolated mitochondria. Taken together, our results indicate that the ratio of BH4:BH2 does not predict changes in neither NO levels nor cellular redox state in the heart. The BH4 oxidation essentially limits the capacity of cardiomyocytes to reduce oxidant stress. Cardiomyocyte with chronically high levels of BH4 show a significant decline in redox state and mitochondrial function.

China's Financial Stability Oversight Committee Takes Shape
By Wu Hongyuran and Leng Cheng
The first task of Financial Stability and Development Committee, whose members include representatives from the People's Bank of China (pictured) and other financial regulators, will be to draft laws and regulations to clearly state the responsibilities of the central bank and the regulators in combating ballooning financial risks, a source told Caixin. Photo: Visual China
China's cabinet-level cross-agency committee for overseeing the sprawling financial sector is taking shape.
The committee, formally known as the Financial Stability and Development Committee, was created in July to lead and coordinate efforts among the central bank and other financial regulators. The aim, as central bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan put it, is to contain risks in four areas: shadow banking, the asset management industry, internet finance companies and private financial conglomerates.
Sources told Caixin that the committee will be chaired by the vice premier of the State Council, who is in charge of the financial sector. The People's Bank of China (PBOC), China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC), China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC) will each nominate one representative to the committee as vice chairperson, sources added.
The State Commission Office for Public Sector Reform and PBOC's Financial Stability Bureau are now finalizing a more detailed personnel framework, which will likely be announced after the 19th Party Congress concludes, Caixin has learned.
Once the committee begins meeting, its first task will be to draft laws and regulations to clearly state the responsibilities of the central bank and the regulators in combating ballooning financial risks, a source close to the regulator told Caixin. Such clarification is greatly needed, the source added, because it will help facilitate a quicker response during a crisis.
Another task for the committee will be to give itself a stronger mandate to oversee the financial sector, such as by creating an inspection mechanism for financial institutions, Caixin has learned.
These arrangements are in line with the spirit of the once-every-five-year National Financial Work Conference, from which the cross-agency committee was conceived to restart the nation's once-fragmented efforts to curb financial risks.
"Every failure to detect financial risks should be regarded as dereliction of duty, and every failure to alert and handle financial risks should be regarded as misconduct," President Xi Jinping said at the work conference, which was held in July.
For years, China has been allowing the banking, insurance and securities regulators to separately oversee their own industries, even though the law required a cabinet-level body to coordinate them. However, that cross-regulatory body wasn't as effective as it was designed to be, and innovative financial products often blur boundaries between industries, such as the online lending business, where growing risks were almost out of reach for any of the regulators.
Industry-spanning products, risks
Another reason to create the stability committee is that current regulations and the division of labor among the watchdogs have not kept up with product innovations and the evolution of the market.
In recent years, a new breed of internet finance and private financial conglomerates has emerged and taken over the market very quickly. Because of the "hybrid" nature of their businesses, they were able to stay out of the regulators' reach for years while they expanded exponentially.
There were episodes of fraud and corruption. For instance, online lender Ezubo ran a Ponzi scheme that caused investors to lose more than 50 billion yuan ($7.6 billion), and the Fanya Metal Exchange in the southern city if Kunming allegedly sold over 43 billion yuan worth of high-yield investments to some 220,000 investors who later couldn't cash in the products.
Also, many private players expanded into insurance, and used premium income to finance leveraged buyouts or aggressive acquisitions that were sometimes unrelated to their original business lines. For example, Anbang Insurance Group and Tomorrow Holdings Group built their own property-to-finance empires through unregulated mergers and acquisitions.
"Some large private companies obtained financial-service licenses through acquisitions," PBOC Governor Zhou said in a recent speech in Washington. "But that didn't necessarily make them financial service conglomerates in a real sense. There may be connected transactions and other illegal behavior during the process, and we still do not have rules to regulate those cross-industry transactions."
Former Finance Minister Lou Jiwei said recently that cross-industry operations in finance are too risky.
Lou's view is echoed by some senior regulators, who said industry watchdogs may not be able to fully understand the underlying businesses, which could morph into a hotbed of illegal and improper activity.
Zhou Xuedong, business management department director of the PBOC, has called for broader cooperation and greater responsibilities for the financial stability committee. Zhou said the committee should also include representatives from the Ministry of Finance, National Development and Reform Commission and even the Ministry of Public Security to cope with fraud or misdeeds that threaten financial stability.
Recently, local financial authorities in Jiangsu province, the city of Shenzhen and some other parts of the country have reportedly been upgrading their financial offices to financial regulatory bureaus.
Market watchers said the move will give more clout to the regulatory work now being handled by higher-level bureaus, such as local branches of the PBOC and other financial regulators.
The upgraded bureaus will primarily tighten the oversight and licensing of internet finance companies at the local level, some say, although it remains to be seen whether local offices are strong enough to execute their new mandate.

Lazarus Group hackers also linked to Bangladesh Bank heist in 2016.
The 'WannaCry' strain of ransomware that has infected hundreds of thousands of victims across 150 countries may be linked to North Korea, researchers have found. One well-known hacking team, dubbed "Lazarus Group", was specifically name-checked.
The coding similarities were first uncovered by Neel Mehta, a security researcher at Google, who dug up links between WannaCry and strain of malware called "Contopee" - previously referenced during the probe into the massive Bangladesh Bank heist last year.
Cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab, which previously revealed Lazarus Group was involved with the 2015 Sony Pictures hack, said on 15 May that investigators must now "investigate these similarities and attempt to discover more facts about the origin of WannaCry."
"Looking back to the Bangladesh attack, in the early days, there were very few facts linking them to the Lazarus group," a blog post read.
The researchers continued:"In time, more evidence appeared and allowed us, and others, to links them together with high confidence. Further research can be crucial to connecting the dots.
"We believe this might hold the key to solve some of the mysteries around this attack.
"One thing is for sure — Neel Mehta's discovery is the most significant clue to date regarding the origins of Wannacry."
The shared code appears to be between an February 2017 version of the ransomware and Lazarus Group malware from two years ago, experts said.
"The [February] sample appears to be a very early variant of the WannaCry encryptor. We believe a theory a false flag although possible, is improbable," Kaspersky experts concluded. The ransomware in question was used to lock down computer systems until money is paid to the hackers.
Matthieu Suiche, a prominent researcher and founder of United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based cybersecurity firm Comae Technologies, also confirmed the find via Twitter. "There is no doubt functions are 100% the same," Suiche claimed after analysing the malware.
"Both share similar code, one function is 100% identical," he stated in another update, also linking to Lazarus Group research by Symantec, a US cybersecurity firm.
In May 2016, Symantec detailed how Contopee was one of three pieces of malware being used in targeted attacks against the financial sector in South-East Asia. The computer software was allegedly used by North Korean hackers to manipulate financial networks.
Rick Ledgett, the deputy director of the US National Security Agency (NSA) said in April that evidence linking North Korea to the Bangladesh banking operation was strong. "If that's true, then that says to me that the North Koreans are robbing banks," he said, as reported by Reuters.
The regime in North Korea has denied orchestrating the cyberattacks, which resulted in the successful theft of roughly $81m. In this most recent case, however, attribution remains far from certain. "Attribution can be faked," Suiche noted, adding: "But if true this is a major provocation."
While the shared code suggests an overlap with Lazarus Group malware, much more research will need to be conducted before a full picture of the situation emerges.
In a blog post on 16 May, Suiche, who was the first person to highlight the full theory on Twitter, elaborated: "The attribution to Lazarus Group would make sense regarding their narrative which in the past was dominated by infiltrating financial institutions in the goal of stealing money.
"If validated, this means the latest iteration of WannaCry would in fact be the first nation state powered ransomware. This would also mean that a foreign hostile nation would have leveraged lost offensive capabilities from Equation Group to create global chaos."
In a statement to IBTimes UK, Symantec said: "Over the weekend, we began investigating connections of WannaCry to known groups we are monitoring.
"We discovered that earlier versions of WannaCry in April and early May that weren't widely distributed unlike the recent outbreak were found on systems shortly after being compromised with known Lazarus tools.
"However, we have not yet been able to confirm the Lazarus tools deployed WannaCry on these systems. In addition, we found code in WannaCry used in SSL routines that historically was unique to Lazarus tools. While these connections exist, they so far only represent weak connections.
"We are continuing to investigate for stronger connections."
Responding to the news on Twitter, Claudio Guarnieri, a senior technologist at Amnesty International and researcher at Citizen Lab, said the discovery of linked malware was "huge if true."
He tweeted: "That could explain the general sloppiness and lack of a decryption process, if the intent is to quickly cause havoc and embarrassment. That said, we need to be cautious. We definitely need more data points before being confident about this connection."
WannaCry was responsible for a major incident on 12 May (Friday) after it quickly infected organisations across the world, including the UK health service. It was effective due to the fact it was based on an NSA exploit leaked earlier in the year by a group called 'Shadow Brokers'.
Law enforcements around the globe are now scrambling to investigate the computer meltdowns. Organisations, meanwhile, are rushing to patch systems before a new variant of the notorious ransomware is able to infect machines running outdated software.
This article was updated to add additional context from Matthieu Suiche.
Is the 'WannaCry' ransomware attack the wake-up call the world needed?

I was watching the first of the Mummy films on television recently (Brenadan Fraser, John Hannah and Rachel Weisz) which reminded me of a piece I had written last April after visiting the Tutankhamun exhibition in Dublin. Unfortunately it also reminded me of one of my worst nightmares: being trapped in a tomb as the entrances gradually close…..
Tutankhamun: An appointment with the Boy King at the Royal Dublin Showground
I finally got around to visiting the Tutankhamun exhibition at the RDS (Industries Hall) last weekend (using the money off voucher that I have mentioned previously!) and somehow managed to avoid long queues. Obviously Sunday morning was a good time to pick. The leaflet recommends booking in advance to avoid queues, but you'd be as well not to waste your money on the booking fee (why line Ticketmaster's pockets unnecessarily) and just go along.
An Iconic Image…
For anyone who's not heard of this exhibition: it features accurate reproductions of over 1000 objects that were found in the pharaoh's tomb in the Valley of the Kings by Howard Carter's 1922 expedition (financed by Lord Carnarvon). Apparently it took him a further ten years to carefully catalogue all of the contents of the tomb. Most of the original artefacts no longer leave Egypt on tour due to their fragile state so this display was conceived as a way of allowing people to 'see' the pharaoh's treasures. The reproductions were created using appropriate materials and techniques to be as similar in appearance to the original pieces as possible.
The exhibition begins (after you've been issued with headsets for the audio parts) with a series of text boards giving visitors a crash course on Ancient Egyptian history and locating Tutankhamun (18th dynasty, about 1333-1323 BC) within the chronology. There is a map showing the location of the Valley of the Kings and a brief illustrated account of Carter's expedition. A Perspex model shows the layout of the tomb chambers and the entrance location. After this introductory section visitors are shepherded into the next room to watch two films, one on Tutankhamun's family (opinion is still divided about his parentage) and the other one about Howard Carter and the discovery of the tomb. And then it's on to the main part of the exhibition…
Here you see the burial chamber, treasury and ante-chamber accurately reconstructed from Howard Carter's detailed notes and drawings, just as they would have been found when the expedition first laid eyes on them. Undoubtedly it was a huge undertaking to create and put together these pieces. We would have liked to linger awhile at this point, but the audio tour prompts you on from one case to another without much time to dawdle. There was such an amazing array of articles placed in the antechamber alone that it takes time to absorb all the detail.
I have since found this video on You Tube, uploaded in 2009 by Art Museum Jourmal, which gives a fascinating glimpse into the tomb's discovery.
The next part of the exhibition is a display of the items found in the tomb and here visitors are free to wander around, using if you wish the audio guide that's included in the cost of entry. The highlight of the exhibition is the young king's gold death mask which has become such a world famous image since the original artefacts were first lent to tour museums in 1972 -79. The four coffins are truly spectacular, as is the sarcophagus and the jewellery found with the mummified king. The workmanship of all of these reproductions is impressive to say the least.
Since visiting the exhibition I have been mulling over my impressions of what we saw and I still haven not come to a firm conclusion. Does it matter that what you are seeing isn't 'real' when the items have clearly been made with such attention to detail? Does authenticity matter? After all, most of us may probably never manage to visit Cairo to see the originals. It is a weird sensation hearing Howard Carter's diary account, where he wonders in awe whether Tutankhamun really sat on the chair in front of him, while knowing that you are just looking at a reproduction and not the genuine article. How Postmodern is that?
Having said all of that, the pieces in the Tutankhamun exhibition are visually stunning and I now know more than I did about the Boy King because recent research is presented here as well. On balance, I would say that exhibition is certainly worth a visit. And for a fascinating footnote, I came across a BBC News Middle East report about Tutankhamun's stolen bronze trumpet and how its recovery was attributed to the famous curse…..
This piece on the Tutankhamun exhibition was previously published on 23/4/2011 on http://www.campusdig.com

Lebanon Links
Lebanon * Beirut
The Country & its Charm...
The Lebanese Republic stretches along 250 km of the picturesque Eastern Mediterranean coast. It is only 50 km wide, a lilliput of a country which, on its total of 10452 sq. km (4035.54 sq. mi.), is nevertheless endowed with all but the desert of nature's features.
The Cedars...
About 120 km from Beirut. Known to the Lebanese as the Cedars of the Lord. Some of the remaining 400 trees are over 1500 years old. The Cedar tree, majestic and indestructible, is the emblem of Lebanon and adorns its flag. The Phoenicians, Greeks and Egyptians used its wood through the centuries in their homes, temples, sarcophagus and galleys. The village of the Cedars, over 2000 m in altitude, is a very picturesque ski resort with hotets, chalets, and ski lifts. Nearby is Qadisha grotto, a natural cavern with stalactitic and stalagmitic formations.
Lebanon, from North to South...
The narrow strip of coastal plain, rich with golden beaches, natural inlets and rocky promontories, accommodates the capital Beirut and the cities of Tripoli, Byblos, Sidon and Tyre. Other large and small towns and villages dot the rest of the coast from North to South in the shadow of Mount Lebanon, which seems to rise from the Mediterranean in a sharp sweep. The main peaks of this mountain mass are al-Qorna as-Sawdaa (3088 m) and al-Mounaitra (2911 m) in the north; Sannin (2628 m) and al-Knaissa (2032 m) above Beirut, which is situated almost halfway between the northern and southern borders.

FOXTROT/ALFA: Threema Goes Open Source, WMG Data Breach, The Moon is Rusting
As you might have noticed, there wasn't a newsletter in the last two days. It seems all the stuff I have to organise before we move house from Hamburg to Düsseldorf in the middle of the month has caught up with me. And then there's the other stuff I keep busy with, like extra podcast episode releases. FOXTROT/ALFA issue 144 is therefore coming to you on a Saturday. In this special edition, for Saturday, 5 September 2020, I will recap all of the news I didn't get to write to you about on Thursday and Friday.
This will be the last newsletter for a while. I have many things to organise for this move and as of now, I'm not even quite sure when I will have internet access in the new flat. I'm aiming to start up the newsletter again at the beginning of October. Please bear with me. I promise I'll get it up and running as soon as I can.
For now, here's what has happened in tech over the last few days:
Critical GnuPG Vulnerability
Heads up! There's a critical vulnerability in GnuPG:
We are pleased to announce the availability of a new GnuPG release: version 2.2.23. This version fixes a critical security bug in versions 2.2.21 and 2.2.22.
Importing an OpenPGP key having a preference list for AEAD algorithms will lead to an array overflow and thus often to a crash or other undefined behaviour. Importing an arbitrary key can often easily be triggered by an attacker and thus triggering this bug. Exploiting the bug aside from crashes is not trivial but likely possible for a dedicated attacker. The major hurdle for an attacker is that only every second byte is under their control with every first byte having a fixed value of 0x04.
Code Execution Worm in Cisco's Jabber Client
Cisco's Jabber implementation seems to be a bit shit.
Until Wednesday, a single text message sent through Cisco's Jabber collaboration application was all it took to touch off a self-replicating attack that would spread malware from one Windows user to another, researchers who developed the exploit said.
The wormable attack was the result of several flaws, which Cisco patched on Wednesday, in the Chromium Embedded Framework that forms the foundation of the Jabber client. A filter that's designed to block potentially malicious content in incoming messages failed to scrutinize code.
WMG Data Breach
Warner Music has been hacked.
Warner Music Group (WMG) has disclosed a breach by an undisclosed party that could have taken payment information, including name, email address, telephone number, billing address, shipping address, and payment card details (card number, CVC/CVV, and expiration date) from customers making a purchase between April 25 and August 5. In its disclosure statement, WMG says that it is working with law enforcement agencies and have notified the financial institutions and credit card issuers involved.
Threema Goes Open Source
After years of security enthusiasts constantly asking for it, Threema seems to be going open source.
Within the next months, the Threema apps will become fully open source, supporting reproducible builds. This is to say that anyone will be able to independently review Threema's security and verify that the published source code corresponds to the downloaded app. In the future, it will be possible to use multiple devices in parallel thanks to an innovative multi-device solution. In contrast to other approaches, no trace of personal data will be left behind on a server. Thanks to this technology, Threema can be used on a PC without a smartphone.
They also got a new investor.
After an intense startup phase, Threema lays the foundation for continuity, further growth, and an acceleration of the product development thanks to the entry of the German-Swiss investment company Afinum Management AG. That said, Threema's founders – Manuel Kasper, Silvan Engeler, and Martin Blatter, all software developers – will continue to lead the company and still retain a significant ownership interest.
The Moon is Rusting
Believe it or not, the moon is rusting.
The Moon's surface is peppered with flecks of rust, according to research published on Wednesday. It's a surprising discovery considering the natural satellite contains no free oxygen, which is needed to oxidize iron to make rust. Yet data from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3), a NASA-designed instrument onboard the Chandrayaan-1, the first lunar spacecraft from the Indian Space Research Organisation, has pointed out deposits of hematite, a type of iron oxide, dotted around the Moon.
"When I examined the M3 data at the polar regions, I found some spectral features and patterns are different from those we see at the lower latitudes or the Apollo samples," said Shuai Li, lead author of the study published in Science Advances and a researcher at the University of Hawaii's Institute of Geophysics and Planetology. "I was curious whether it is possible that there are water-rock reactions on the Moon. After months of investigation, I figured out I was seeing the signature of hematite." This common form of iron oxide is found on both Earth and Mars.
Although lunar regolith does contain oxygen, all of it is locked up within minerals and it's not available to readily react with iron. Instead, the Moon is apparently getting its fresh oxygen supplies from its nearest neighbor: Earth. Li and his colleagues reckon that the gas from our planet's upper atmosphere may be carried by the solar wind and blown onto the satellite's surface.
"It turns out that the total oxygen delivered to the Moon from Earth in 100 million years is sufficient to generate the hematite we see," Li told The Register on Wednesday. "The total oxygen is estimated from the observation by Japan's Kaguya mission. They observed that 1.5x1027 oxygen particles can be delivered to the lunar surface annually."
Digital Pregnancy Tests are a Scam
Like The Register, I saw this on Twitter. Absolutely hilarious!
A hacker has uncovered a fancy digital pregnancy stick that is just a glorified analogue paper test strip with a screen added, a novel form of activation, and a big price tag.
Hardware hacker (and floppy disc enthusiast) foone bought a pack of two digital pregnancy sticks for $7, whereas a pack of 25 paper-based ones costs about $9. Foone decided to pry into one of the sticks and revealed it had a Holtek HT48C06 processor with 64 bytes of RAM, an 8-bit microcontroller, a series of LED lights, photosensors, a cell battery, and a small rectangular screen.
The computer onboard makes it seem quite advanced and high-tech, but at the core of is, well, one of those cheap paper tests. None of the hardware or software is used to detect if someone is pregnant or not. That job is for the paper, which looks for human chorionic gonadotropin, a type of hormone secreted during the early stages of pregnancy, in urine.
The whole device is activated when the strip is moistened. The damp paper connects a switch that fires up the stick's battery and, if the characteristic two lines show up, the LED lights and photosensors spot this and the screen displays the results – "Pregnant" or "Not pregnant".
Because someone apprently thought that counting strips on paper, which generations of women have done successfully, was too complicated for millenials? Or something? Jeez.

Jan Reeves (right) is set to retire from the Idaho Office for Refugees at the end of December.
Jan Reeves has been the director of the Idaho Office for Refugees since 1998, but he got his start in the field in the '80s – when resettlement was under the state Department of Health and Welfare.
Reeves says when the state first began accepting refugees, the reception among Idahoans was positive. He's seen that welcoming spirit ebb and flow over the years. Reeves says some international events – including 9/11 and the 2008 Great Recession – altered how people view the program.
Worldwide, the UN estimates there are 65.5 million refugees. At the same time, the Trump Administration has set a limit of 45,000 refugees for 2018 – less than half of the number admitted during Obama's last year in office. Reeves recognizes that for some, this reduction seems like a good thing.
Reeves says it's hard to leave the field when the future of refugee resettlement programs are unclear, but he's confident in the ability of the folks who will lead the Idaho efforts after he steps away.
An initiative that would halt the refugee resettlement program in Twin Falls did not receive enough signatures to get on the ballot in November.
Supporters of the measure needed nearly 4,000 signatures to put it on the ballot in Twin Falls County. According to the recorder's office, fewer than one thousand signatures were turned in by Monday's 5:00 p.m. deadline.
Evidence has come to light indicating Russia was behind an anti-immigrant protest set to take place last summer in Twin Falls. The revelation comes as more proof the hostile foreign power tried to shape events in the run-up to last year's election.
