During a speech in the Syrian parliament the president Bashar al-Assad has halted his speech after stating "I need to sit for a minute if you don't mind". While it is unclear for how long he took a break from his speech, al-Assad stated after returning that he had not "eaten since yesterday afternoon. I have no sugar or salt, and this happens". Adding that "doctors are the worst patients" referencing his training as an eye doctor.
Bashar al-Assad has no known underlying health conditions.

US pressures Assad with new round of sanctions
The US has introduced new sanctions on the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The sanctions fall under the Caesar Act, which went into effect in June, 2020 and targets industries and entities that deal with the Assad administration, including those in Iran and Russia. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the purpose of the sanctions is to pressure Assad into ending the war, which has entered its ninth year.
Syria is currently facing an economic crisis, with many struggling to find food and other basic goods. Syrian officials have blamed the worsening conditions on American and EU sanctions.
Kelly Craft, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, stated the sanctions are not meant to harm civilians, nor do they target humanitarian efforts.

The German Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee calls the new UN agreement for aid to Syria as a "failure of the West all along the line"

On Saturday the UN Security Council agreed to continue the humanitarian aid to Syria only in a limited way. Due to the new regulation, only one border crossing for aid deliveries from Turkey to Northern Syria is planned, before there were two. According to aid organizations, this new regulation could endanger the care of millions of people in need.
Norbert Röttgen, the german chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, calls this decision a "failure of the West all along the line".
He further said to the newspaper "Die Welt": "This failure is due to the withdrawal of the United States and the subsequent vacuum that Russia was happy to fill. And it is the utter reluctance of Europeans not to represent their own interests in the region. The consequences of the displacement and killing of civilians by Assad and Putin, now with China's support in the UN Security Council, affect Europe. The displaced persons will seek protection from us through Turkey."

German Red Cross: More violence against medical personnel
Since March 2020, more than 200 cases in the Middle East have been documented - e.g. Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, but also Venezuela. Basically, however, more cases have to be assumed, since the documentation in such crisis areas is difficult.
However, it can be said that the behavior of people in conflict areas does not change due to a pandemic.

Review of Andrew Strauss's autobiography
September 30, 2006 Will
I read and reviewed Andrew Strauss's Coming into Play…not much of a goer, to be honest. Promising but premature.
Andrew Strauss's autobiography: Coming into Play
September 27, 2006 September 30, 2006 Will
I've just finished reading Andrew Strauss's book (review is at Cricinfo on Saturday) and it highlighted a worrying trend: the premature autobiography. It's one which is seemingly unstoppable, too, and not just in sport – although sportsmen offer publishers a tantalising combination of fame and talent which the public will mop up all day long.
It's just not on, though. The book was fine – it passed a few hours, and I'd have enjoyed it at an airport or on the bus. But I was left with a feeling of "…and?" Of all the recently released autobiographies, at least Strauss's is nicely written. He received some help from Angus Fraser but, by and large, it is his own work – a tremendous achievement, then. The fact remains that he has only been in the game five minutes. His excitement in arriving in Test cricket is glib, and no different from any other cricketer. Descriptions of the Ashes are neatly written and fondly recalled…but again, it's nothing we haven't heard a dozen times before. Worse still, this lets the author down more than us.
I'm sure once he's finished his career and has progressed into a fulltime journalist, if he chooses, then his final book really will be worth reading. Right now though, it felt unfinished; much like his career, it is only the first chapter.
It's a shame though. I think I'm right in saying Charlotte Church, who my boss absolutely adores and respects with unrivalled passion, has already published two! She's about 23 for God's sake. Yet we can't blame her or other people for writing them. Books are big money these days. Monty Panesar has accepted a £250,000 deal to write his – he'd be very daft, or perhaps a shrewd businessman, if he turned that down. I guess it's just a shame for us who have to review them as, essentially, it's the same old thing over and over again.
Buy now from Amazon.
Stir your creative ingenuity and win a book
"You haven't let me down, Will. You've let yourself down," so said many a teacher to me as I ambled in, shirt untucked in a vain and failed attempt to appear nonchalant, cocky. But enough of my schooldays, the issue is you – for you have let both me and you down. An enticing opportunity to demonstrate your limerick skills, not to mention the chance to win a couple of books – apparently these are not enough to tempt the demanding Corridor reader. So come on – spend five minutes and produce your best. Your teacher would be disappointed in you.
After all, you wouldn't want to let yourself down, would you? (didn't you hate how teachers always ramped up the guilt factor?)
Competition: win signed copies of Arm-ball to Zooter
Got quite a few books piling up here so it's time for a competition. I have two copies of Arm-ball to Zooter – still warm from the oven – the new book from The Guardian's Lawrence Booth. A fine writer and allround good egg, Lawrence has even agreed to sign the books, thereby raising its antique value by several thousand percent.
Joking aside it's a terrific read, as you would expect, and well worth the mere £7.79 from Amazon. So treat yourself to a new book – one which, thankfully, isn't an autobiography from a veteran international batsman of 14 months…
We've run a few limerick competitions in the past which have gone down well. For those not sure of the style a limerick takes, it's really simple: using one of the two starting lines below, construct a five-line verse with the rhyme scheme of aabba. See here for ideas.
So, use either of the first lines below and get cracking. Competition will run until I get very bored; keep it cricket-based as much as you can, and the best two will win one of Lawrence's books.

2) At Brisbane one day by the sea…

Peter the Lord's cat
August 23, 2006 August 23, 2006 Will
Saw this reviewed in a newspaper today, and it looks well worth buying. I might even get it myself unless I can borrow one from work.
In 2005, Aurum republished with success, J.L. Carr's miniature and classic "Dictionary of Extra-Ordinary Cricketers" – the book reprinted within a few months. Now, in its first collaboration with John Wisden & Co., publishers of the celebrated annual "Wisden Cricketers' Almanack", it publishes a similarly eccentric gallery of quixotic and eccentric cricketers, edited by acclaimed cricket writer Gideon Haigh. But where readers of J.L. Carr were never quite sure whether the author had somehow embellished – or even completely invented – the facts about the cricketers he anthologised, the esoteric details and mad whimsies recorded in these obituaries are exactly as they appeared in the august pages of the Almanack itself. Thus, we read of Anthony Ainley, who besides a claim to fame of playing the Master in "Dr. Who", opened the batting clad in "sunblock, helmet and swimming goggles" and always took his teas alone in his car, "possibly because he despised cheeses of all kinds"." There is the Rev. Reginald Heber Ross, whose two first-class cricket appearances were separated by a record 32 years. And there is the much-lamented loss of Peter the Cat, who frequented the pavilion at Lord's for many years. He gets his own obituary.
Peter the Lord's Cat: And Other Unexpected Obituaries from Wisden – £7.18. Check out the "cricket_books" tag or this post for some book recommendations.

I should probably also mention that Andrew Strauss's autobiography, Coming into Play, is released on the same day as Kevin Pietersen's. Strauss writes an excellent column for the Daily Telegraph and, while he'll have used a ghost for much of this book, he is an intelligent, hard-working cricketer and it too should make for interesting reading. Like Pietersen's, it can be pre-ordered from Amazon.
Kevin Pietersen's autobiography: Crossing the Boundary
Ying from Random House emailed to remind me of Kevin Pietersen's biography, which is due to be published on September 9, 2006. It should be an interesting read – and I'll have two copies to give away on the blog shortly after publication. In the meantime, pre-order your copy from Amazon.

This isn't your grandmother's Smart car. The Kia Electric POP concept vehicle, set to be unveiled at the Paris auto show in October, brings the traditional compact commuter car into the future–a gaudy, shiny future, but the future nonetheless.
Kia won't say much about the three-seater yet, but we do know that it measures approximately 118 inches long. That's 12 inches longer than the Smart Fortwo coupe, but still tiny enough to fit into the diciest of parking spaces. The vehicle also features bench seats in the front along and a single seat in the back.
The POP may not be appropriate for SUV-loving drivers, but it would fit quite nicely into the "eye-catching electric vehicle for short trips around the city" category. And the more electric options we have, the more likely that EVs will become mainstream.

Five new Steam games you probably missed (September 24, 2018)
By Shaun Prescott 2018-09-24T00:30:13Z
Sorting through every new game on Steam so you don't have to.
On an average day, about a dozen new games are released on Steam. And while we think that's a good thing, it can be understandably hard to keep up with. Potentially exciting gems are sure to be lost in the deluge of new things to play unless you sort through every single game that is released on Steam. So that's exactly what we've done.
Release: September 21
Developer: Radical Fish Games
CrossCode is a gorgeous action RPG styled after 16-bit era classics, boasting "around 30-80 hours" of gameplay, according to studio Radical Fish Games. The variety here is reportedly enormous: there are 120 enemy types, 30 boss fights, 100 "combat arts" and just as many quests. You'll encounter all this across a world with seven areas and seven "expansive" dungeons. The game has spent a while in Early Access but as of last week is officially feature complete, and it's currently receiving "overwhelmingly positive" reviews on Steam from a pool of nearly 3,000. It's rare for a retro-styled action RPG to not be a rogue-lite, and this is one of them. The studio believes it has struck a perfect balance between a classic action RPG and Zelda-inspired dungeon exploration. But there's a demo if you want to test this for yourself.
Developer: The Voxel Agents
The Gardens Between follows Arina and Frendt as they adventure through "vibrant, dreamlike island gardens" solving puzzles. These puzzlescapes are rich and colourful, and decorated with all manner of nostalgic iconography: 8-bit games played on CRT screens; bike helmets plastered with stickers, typewriters, dot matrix printers. In keeping with this theme, time manipulation is at the heart of The Gardens Between's puzzle solving. You'll need to direct Arina and Frendt to the pinnacle of 20 islands, a journey which will "examine the significance of their friendship." Aw.
Hyperspace Delivery Service
Developer: Zotnip
Hyperspace Delivery Service is a fascinating hybrid of space trading, pre-Doom first-person shooter, and ye olde space combat. Hired by the nominal delivery service, you're tasked with travelling all the way across space to make a delivery to Miridian V. You'll need to ensure your crew survive this trip, and along the way you'll be gunning down robot space pirates both on foot (hence the Wolfenstein 3D-esque FPS component) and in space. While studio Zotnip promises the game offers "pick up and play style gaming", it appears to be more engrossing than any of the separate components would suggest alone. A really curious game, probably worth taking a punt on.
Underhero
Developer: Paper Castle Games
Here's the week's obligatory 2D side-scroller, in the form of an RPG inspired by the Paper Mario series. According to studio Paper Castle Games, the combat is turn based… except it's not. Instead, rather than turns you'll use reflexes and timing. "We call it timing-based combat," write the devs, and having not played the thing I'll just have to take them at their word that it's a bit different from real-time combat. The art style is all chipper pixels and Saturday morning cartoon gaiety, and there's tonnes of secrets and mini-games and stuff like that. Looks pretty fun, but I'm a sucker for this stuff.
Developer: Laina Interactive
The Slater kinda looks like what Max Payne or Hitman would look like, if either of those were first-person and developed by a single person (in this case, Alessandro Laina). A "story-driven first-person stealth-action-puzzle game", The Slater follows grizzled former cop Mark Slater as he exacts revenge on the bastards who killed his father. There's plenty of shooting, of course, though Laina encourages players to think of enemies "as puzzle pieces" - so expect a fair bit of stealthy movement and tactical planning. It's tough to develop shooters, tougher still to do it yourself, but this is interesting enough to warrant a closer look.
These games were released between September 11 and September 24 2018. Some online stores give us a small cut if you buy something through one of our links. Read our affiliate policy for more info.

Q: Redirecting image requests via .htaccess depending on file existence I implemented an image generator which saves the final file in .jpg format inside /images. Once the file is saved, there is no need to generate it ever again.
This is the route for the image generator:
/gen.php?id=495abc

This is the directory where all the .jpg images are saved:
/images/495abc.jpg

So, the objective is: If a user tries to request http://website.com/images/495abc.jpg, the .htaccess rules have to verify if the file exists and then execute one of two actions depending on the case:

*

*if the .jpg exists, serve the file directly.

*if the .jpg does not exist, redirect the request to the generator at /gen.php?id=495abc (the new image will be displayed at the end of this process with Header("Content-Type: image/jpeg"))
Is that feasible via .htaccess? If not, there is another alternative: Redirect all /images/*.jpg requests to /gen.php?id=* and let gen.php do all the dirty work. Of course, the first alternative is better.
Any ideas? Thanks!

A: Yes. It is possible with htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^images/(\d+)\.(jpe?g|png|gif|ico|bmp)$ /gen.php?id=$1 [L,NC]

Life in Essaouira, much like the rest of Morocco, depends on the many tourists who visit. Along the coast though, especially in this town, it revolves around the abundance of fish in the Atlantic Ocean. Having spent a whole week here, as opposed to the usual day trip from bigger cities nearby, I really got a sense of just how important fishing is to the habitants of Essaouira. It is a major financial source as well as the heart and soul of the town. The fish port is open to anyone brave enough to handle the sights and smells and it is a thrill to watch the negotiations happen between the fishermen and local men.
Needless to say, I enjoyed my fair share of langoustines, calamari, and fish, from home cooked tagines made by Amina, the fabulous housekeeper at our apartment, to upscale dishes in the town's nicest restaurants and grilled sardines on the street, all spectacular. To me, it is always a treat to be able to observe how ingredients get turned into a meal. In North America, there is such a huge disconnect between the food we purchase and the environment it was produced in. For the most part, we have to seek out opportunities to see how our food is grown, fished or raised, it doesn't come from the next block over. In Essaouira, your dinner just a stone's throw away and was fished that morning by the men you see at the port. It is that easy and, might I add, refreshing.
Next up on the itinerary is Marrakech, where the claustrophobia may kick in as the city is unanimously described as an overwhelming assault on all the senses. We are getting mentally prepared for craziness and are looking forward to the excitement.
In the medina, that densely populated walled section of a Moroccan city comprised of narrow streets and thousands of shops, you can find everything you need. Approach the small, low doors or the even tinier windows and the shopkeeper, plumber, electrician or pharmacist will find it, buried within the one square meter where he holds all of his goods and spends most of his time. Essentially, everything is kept in a space half the size of your average North American closet and it is very efficient.
I have never been a fan of giving my money to large chains, always preferring to encourage small, local shops. For me, it's a choice though. It is always an eye-opening experience to visit countries where big box stores and the idea of overindulgence in general is so foreign. As expected, there are no supermarkets or there is no such thing as "one-stop shopping" in Morocco. Instead, you get to know the individual who sells you what you need and inevitably, you form relationships with these people. It is an incredibly social experience to "run errands" in Morocco and you can see the effect it has on the people in the medina; no one is ever too rushed not to stop and say hello to their neighbour on the street. Though I imagine I would miss not having a variety of flavours, sizes and options available at all times, there is something to be said about the kind of lifestyle that revolves around the medina. Where I come from, we could learn a thing or two from this.
Sunset is the loveliest time of day if you ask me. Having worked evenings for most of my life, I have not had many opportunities to enjoy the beauty of it (the lack of sun in general in Vancouver doesn't allow for much of that golden hour either.) I guess my brain must associate sunsets with days off and vacations. Regardless of where I am in the world, I find it to be the most relaxing and mellow time and absolutely love strolling around town while the sun is setting, especially with my camera. Bliss.
Essaouira is a small, somewhat windy beach town on the Atlantic coast of Morocco famous for its whitewashed houses. The Moroccan culture and daily life can be a touch overwhelming on the first day but I was told that Essaouira has amongst the most relaxed vibe in the country and I thought that it would be the perfect first stop for our trip across the country. I quickly found that it was this was true and, as things are getting more familiar here, I have definitely fallen under its spell.


Coventry City Football Club are delighted to announce nine first-year scholars have put pen to paper on deals for the 2013/14 Premier Academy League campaign.
They will link up with the Coventry City Under-18s as the Academy continues to produce talent which can progress into professional football.
The scholars include twins Dion and Devon Kelly-Evans (pictured) as well as Cian Harries and George Thomas who have already been capped by the Wales Under-17s national side.
Luke Bromley, Kyle Barnett, Jake Richards, James Maddison and Ben Stevenson make up the nine who will continue their development with the Sky Blues.
Development Director Steve Waggott said: "It is a huge moment for these young footballers who are continuing their journey towards professional football.
"We are delighted they are going to do that with the Sky Blues and our fantastic Academy. The club have produced many players over the years and I am sure the players who have signed today will be hoping to join that list.
"There is still a lot of hard work for them to do so I am sure they can't wait to get started."

Astragalus lentiginosus est une espèce végétale de la famille des Fabaceae que l'on rencontre dans les régions désertiques du sud-ouest des États-Unis. Elle est butinée par une espèce d'abeille solitaire (Habropoda pallida).

Description morphologique
Très polymorphe, elle présente de grandes variations morphologiques entre populations, notamment au niveau de la taille de la plante, de la couleur des fleurs ou de l'aspect des gousses.

Appareil végétatif
Cette plante présente des tiges atteignant de 10 à 40 cm de longueur, en position dressée ou rampantes. Les feuilles sont imparipennées et découpées en 11 à 19 folioles de forme ovale ou arrondie et de 9 à 15 mm de longueur chacune.

Appareil reproducteur
La floraison a lieu entre mai et juillet.

L'inflorescence est une grappe de fleurs, blanches, mauves ou roses. Chaque fleur mesure de 9 à 20 mm de long. La corolle est composé de 5 pétales, disposés selon le schéma classique des fleurs de Fabaceae : un grand pétale supérieur (étendard) et deux pétales latéraux (ailes) enclosent partiellement deux pétales situés en bas, unis en forme de coque de navire (carène).

Le fruit est une gousse enflée, de 1,3 à 3,8 cm de long, à deux loges. L'extrémité de la gousse, amincie en une sorte de bec, est aplatie latéralement. Les parois de la gousse, souvent de couleur rose tachetée de rouge, peuvent avoir un aspect du cuir ou, translucides, donner à l'ensemble l'aspect d'une vessie.

Répartition et habitat
Cette plante vit dans les zones dégagées de l'ouest de l'Amérique du Nord. Son aire de répartition va de l'ouest du Canada au nord-ouest du Mexique, en passant par l'ouest des États-Unis.

Elle pousse aussi bien dans les déserts que sur des sols salés ou sur les pentes dégagées des montagnes.

@indie_blog_hop #partner 🐻Time for another book tour with @indiebloghop. I really enjoy being part of this team. It's so much fun finding new books to read!
Ever wondered what your stuffed animals do while you are away? Psst…..they see and hear even your deepest secrets. Grab your copy today and find out! This book was a page turner from the moment I picked it up! And don't forget to go over to @mchrobakauthor and check out the author interview.
In this first volume of the suspense series, a young educated Chicago woman, Kelly Donavan, must escape from her luxurious home to get away from her sociopathic boyfriend, Mark Flannery, before he takes her to a woodsy cabin for a "little anniversary getaway." She myyst plot, lie, and pretend to be happy before she can flee her relationship and her own home, alive!
This story is uniquely narrated by teddy bears, which, notwithstanding their immobility, have interesting thoughts and perspectives on the shocking events and intriguing relationships which form before their plastic eyes. These quirky bears also get a healthy dose of an entertaining blooming romance when Kelly's plight takes everyone overseas to Paris. Once the plot's feverish pace decelerates, the group starts to feel some hope, but is the race really over?
My review: 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨spoilers past here🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Read with caution.
I purchased this book from Amazon to read. All opinions are my own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟The Teddy Bear Chronicles Vol. 1 Saved In Paris by Donnalyn Vojta. Kelly is in an obsessive relationship with Mark who turns out to be a murdering college boyfriend with links to an entire network of criminals. While Kelly plans her escape from Mark she finds her sister in Paris and her new almost boyfriend, Richard, turns out, Richard and Geoff used to be friends and now all of them have to fight for their lives. Nursing School, Pharmaceutical Engineering, Teaching and Theatre Degrees couldn't help prepare these adults for what they are about to experience and to top it all off their story is told by three teddy bears sitting in three different places. Life shouldn't be so hard for stuffed animals! This mystery, thriller, suspense story will keep you turning the pages while laughing at the teddy's perspective on things. 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻 Review also posted on Instagram @jasonnstacie, Library Thing, Goodreads/StacieBoren, Go Read, Amazon, and my blog at readsbystacie.com.

Sky Meadow is a selection of beautiful blue-flowering native wildflowers which are also hugely beneficial to bees and butterflies.
The wildflower seeds are rolled into little balls with clay, compost and chilli powder (to deter predators). The seed balls can then be scattered on soil or compost to grow beautiful wildflowers.
Seedball tins make perfect gifts for lovers of nature and wildlife.
Sky Meadow includes forget-me-not, meadow cranesbill, cornflower, selfheal and wild clary; a combination of early and late flowering plants.
No need to plant, just scatter seed balls on a bare patch of soil and the ball will provide all the care and attention a seed needs.
Sky Meadow blue wildflower mix: forget-me-not, meadow cranesbill, cornflower, selfheal and wild clary.
Easy to use - no need to 'plant', just scatter on top of soil or compost. Ideal for garden beds and planting pots.
Each tin contains 20 seed balls. Each seed ball contains approximately 100 blue-flowering wildflower seeds.
For further information, read the Gardening with seedballs FAQ.
Seedball tin packaging is manufactured by the last tin maker in London.


First Baptist is one of the oldest continually worshiping congregations in Dallas County. When individuals and families first began to respond to the appeals of the Peters Colony Land Company to come to North Texas, among those first settlers were the founders of this church. In the early days, the church met as often as a circuit riding preacher was available, often combining services with local Methodists. As the area became more densely populated, the church grew and regular services were established. With roots of faith reaching back to 1846, First Baptist has been worshiping and serving in this community continuously since 1870. Each decade of ministry has brought its own challenges and opportunities.
First Baptist is now poised to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century and a rapidly changing community with the eternal and ever-new gospel of Jesus Christ. Grateful for the past, building on the foundation of the faithful who have gone before, we seek to speak good news in ways that are both encouraging and life-changing. We invite you to join us on this journey of faith.
Bible Study begins at 9:30 a.m.

Q: Insert JTable into JXTreeTable I have a JXTreeTable where each row should be a name, a JTable with some saved data and a Save JButton. I am having problem displaying properly the tables and buttons.
I have overridden the getColumnClass:
        model = new DefaultTreeTableModel(root, Arrays.asList(headings)) {

        @Override
        public Class getColumnClass(int column) {
            if (column == 1) {
                return JTable.class;
            } else if (column == 3) {
                return JButton.class;
            } else {
                return String.class;
            }
        }
    };

but the tables appear as a description of their characteristics:
userTable$2[,0,0,0x0,invalid,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.0,border=,flags=251658568,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,autoCreateColumnsFromModel=true,autoResizeMode=AUTO_RESIZE_SUBSEQUENT_COLUMNS,cellSelectionEnabled=false,editingColumn=-1,editingRow=-1,gridColor=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource[r=128,g=128,b=128],preferredViewportSize=java.awt.Dimension[width=450,height=400],rowHeight=16,rowMargin=1,rowSelectionAllowed=true,selectionBackground=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource[r=51,g=153,b=255],selectionForeground=javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource[r=255,g=255,b=255],showHorizontalLines=true,showVerticalLines=true]

Is there a specific way I should insert the JTable as cell data?
Thank you for your help!

The Giant Pandas
Vienna has plenty of rare sights, but perhaps none rarer than the Giant Pandas found in Schönbrunn Zoo.
At the last formal count, less than 2000 wild bears still survived in the bamboo forests of China. A very few live outside China in zoos, with Vienna one of these exceptions.
A female panda, Yang Yang, and a male panda, Yuan Yuan
A lovely bear-friendly enclosure
What can you say? Pandas come top of the cute scale
Zoo opens daily. Adults pay €22* at the time of writing, though a Vienna Pass gets you in once for free.
See also: Schönbrunn Zoo | How to get to Schönbrunn
Where are the pandas?
The panda enclosure is very close to the zoo's main west entrance. After the ticket barrier, go straight ahead down the tree-lined avenue in front of you,
To your left is a kind of visitor centre, then a long building with koala bears and, after that, the panda enclosure: a building with a large outdoor area beyond it.
The Panda backstory
In 2003, the Chinese government gave "Yang Yang" and "Long Hui" to the Republic of Austria. Actually, "loaned" is a better word, with the zoo participating in the international panda breeding and research project.
Yang Yang has had several cubs, most recently twins in 2016. Like all her offspring, Fu Feng and Fu Ban now reside in China. Astonishingly, she's the first panda ever to successfully raise twins without outside help. The video above shows various clips from the cubs' youth, from little balls of skin to just before they left for China in early December 2018.
Unfortunately, the father of all these cubs, Long Hui, died in December 2016. His replacement, male panda Yuan Yuan, emerged for public viewing at the end of May 2019.
The arrival of the original bears was a major event for the country and saw the outbreak of a veritable pandamania. When the panda enclosure opened to visitors for the first time, half of Vienna descended on the poor creatures.
The post office brought out special panda stamps, the Chancellor welcomed them in person, and they featured on TV and radio stations throughout the land.
On the initiative of one national radio station, the two bears were rechristened Sissi and Franzl. The names refered to Emperor Franz Joseph and his famous wife, Elisabeth.
Not that the pandas themselves seemed too bothered by the fuss. They were invariably found either sleeping or eating and viewed human proceedings with a gentle disdain.
If you do want to see the pandas, you don't need to worry about long queues now. Unless you visit the zoo on a hot weekend or public holiday, you should have little trouble getting a good view of them (assuming they are active and the house is open). The exception is, of course, if Yang Yang has another cub. Because, let's be honest, there is no magnet for zoo visitors quite like a baby panda.

Cyber Security As A 'Value Driver': Q&A With Threat Stack's CEO, EVP
Solution Providers Discuss Threats, Credentials
Tags: cyber security IT enterprise Q&A interview Threat Landscape access controls credentials solutions
The threat landscape is changing on a daily basis. Menacing insiders are wreaking havoc on enterprises around the globe. How is our credentialing changing as a result?
We were able to catch up with Threat Stack Chairman and CEO, Brian Ahern, and the company's EVP of Products and Technology, Aditya Joshi, about these pressing cyber topics. Ahern and Joshi tackled everything from their own security backgrounds to expiring credentials.
What follows is our in-depth Q&A with the Threat Stack duo.

Cyber Security Hub: Can you briefly tell us about your cyber security experience?
Brian Ahern: I'm Chairman and CEO of Threat Stack, joining the company in 2015 after my previous company – Industrial Defender – was acquired by Lockheed Martin. Industrial Defender was founded in 2002 and prior to its acquisition was a leader in the industrial control security market. Since joining Threat Stack, I've used my experience in industrial infrastructure security and applied it to the cloud infrastructure of growth companies like SMBs and highly scalable SaaS companies. This is traditionally a difficult marketplace for security vendors because it means dealing with organizations that are in a constant state of infrastructure transition and organizational change; however we've been fortunate enough to help grow the company to over 150 employees and more than 450 customers in three short years.
Aditya Joshi: I joined Threat Stack as EVP of Products and Technology in January of 2018, subsequent to the sale of my previous company, Intralinks, in 2017. My journey into cyber security started early as a systems integration consultant working on some of Accenture's largest customers globally and being exposed to multiple generations of deployment architectures – mainframe, monolithic, client/server, distributed and cloud. Later at Novell, I was presented with the unique opportunity to delve much deeper into the infrastructure layer, working on identity and access management, linux (OS), networking and systems management. Finally at Intralinks, I was able to bring these experiences of application and infrastructure security to bear on emerging issues surrounding data privacy and compliance to deliver a highly secure, GDPR-compliant platform for enterprise collaboration. Today at Threat Stack we are committed to building the leading Cloud Security Platform that delivers security at speed and scale for our customers.
Cyber Security Hub: What is your assessment of the current threat landscape?
Ahern: There are a lot of market forces combining to make the current threat landscape daunting for businesses. Organizations are rushing to adopt cloud infrastructure without a proper understanding of the security risks and they're doing this while the industry is in the midst of an enormous cyber security skills shortage. On top of public and hybrid cloud deployments, many businesses are migrating to container-based environments, which adds another layer of complexity and (creates an) increased attack surface to over-stretched security teams.
This is a challenge that can be met if the industry responds appropriately. Too many organizations are reacting to the skills shortage by throwing money at the few qualified candidates rather than building talent from within. Most businesses are buying tech or point solutions to cover this gap rather than building security into their organizational culture by mapping solutions back to people and processes.
In order to combat this, vendors need to be consultative and think about more than just their products. Every organization needs to prioritize security as a value driver so it can serve as a competitive differentiator rather than a roadblock to innovation.
Cyber Security Hub: How 'real' is the fear of insider attacks and what can organizations do to protect against them?
Joshi: You just need to look at the recent Apple or Timehop incidents to know it's real. Businesses issue thousands of credentials to employees and contractors and it's pretty easy to abuse those credentials. Employees today have an unparalleled level of access and that drastically increases the opportunity for abuse. As we saw in the Timehop incident, it's important to remember that if an employee's credentials are compromised, they now pose the same risk as a malicious insider.
With this in mind, organizations need to think about how they approach user access management. The IT or security team often doesn't know what level of access a third-party contractor or specific team members need so they end up giving them way more access than necessary. To avoid this, IT and security teams need to draw clear lines around privileged access. They must segment their network into role-based groups that define cloud infrastructure access levels and periodically evaluate these groups to ensure they're still accurate.
Looking beyond access management, it's important to remember many organizations don't even know the location of all their data. Organizations should invest in solutions that continuously monitor their entire infrastructure including the container and host environment. This level of visibility will provide a complete understanding of where the data is, who should have access to it, and if the system it's stored on is risk appropriate. Furthermore, any large data download, even if it's by an insider, should trigger an alert. For example, in an ideal world the Timehop situation would have prompted a "why is this happening?" moment to the security team. Solutions that continuously monitor infrastructure can identify risk hot spots and reduce the organization's attack surface significantly.
Cyber Security Hub: Are the employees truly the "weakest link"? If so, can you describe?
Ahern: Whether they're actually acting maliciously or simply being negligent, employees represent a significant risk. There's a reason most cyber-criminals still rely on phishing techniques – because it works. An attacker isn't going to bother busting through a firewall when they can just trick an employee into handing over their credentials.
Having said that, it's also important to ask if businesses are doing enough to support their employees. Every business is made up of people, and security is done by human beings. Yet very few security solutions actually map back to people and processes. It's not enough to just throw tech at a problem. We hear from organizations all the time that think they do security because they monitor logs, but if no one is actually reading the log files, you might as well not do it.
Security solutions need to help people actually do their jobs and vendors need to be consultative. Map your solutions back to workflow and identify opportunities for improvement. Establish shared goals and highlight opportunities for Dev, Sec and Ops to all work closer together. And also be sure to identify the things that the organization is doing well from a security standpoint to encourage them to do more. Employees can be the weakest link, but they won't improve if all we do is tell them to be better. We need to be prescriptive.
Cyber Security Hub: How can expiring credentials help the enterprise? And the third parties they work with?
Joshi: Public cloud credentials are useful to attackers, as many of them create bots with the sole purpose of crawling public repositories like GitHub looking for credentials and API keys. Once they find these unsecured keys, it's very easy to exploit a system and exfiltrate data, take over the infrastructure for malicious purposes like crypto-mining, or move laterally to escalate privileges and access more sensitive parts of the cloud infrastructure.
Unfortunately, it's very easy to accidentally commit credentials to code, especially when developers are using their credentials to make command line changes in AWS or other cloud service providers. That's why we are huge fans of eliminating the use of permanent credentials altogether.
Try implementing a secrets management system and generating temporary keys so that the development team can make the changes they need to make, but the security team can protect the business by revoking the credentials once the work is done. Relatively simple strategies like this can go a long way to avoiding the dangers of identity creep.
Cyber Security Hub: What are some other best practices CISOs should keep in mind when thinking about cyber-threats?
Ahern: There is a need for infrastructure visibility and continuous monitoring in order to quickly detect intrusions. If companies don't know where their data is, how are you going to know when it's being inappropriately accessed or exfiltrated? Infrastructure visibility makes it possible to understand where your data is stored, whether the service using sensitive data is risk-appropriate, where the risk hot spots are and how risk is changing over time.
Keep in mind just how many organizations are sacrificing security for speed. The C-Level is gaining a greater appreciation for security, but if security is misaligned with the business objective, security will lose that battle nine times out of ten. In order to not be seen a cost center running counter to business success, security needs to be able to move and scale at the pace of the business. An approach that unites sec, dev and ops can turn security from an interruption into a critical part of the business.
If you treat security as nothing more than insurance, there will never be justifiable ROI unless there has been a breach. But if you focus on integrating security into the operational efficiency of your organization, it not only provides ROI, it becomes a value driver for your business.

BIELEFELD, Germany – Within one year after Hebie's announcement to discontinue its luggage carriers for the after-market, the company returns to this market with the acquisition of the well-known brand Tubus. "Tubus will continue as an independent company within the Hebie Group," said Hebie general manager Dirk Niermann.
For Hebie "the AM business for luggage carriers is no longer profitable as we are no longer in the position to provide all the services that go with AM sales from one location," the company stated in a strategic orientation late 2016.
This strategy changed again now Hebie acquired Tubus which focusses on both the OEM and after-market.
In recent years the Münster, Germany based company Tubus has grown into a global specialist of bicycle carriers with its brands Tubus and Racktime.
However, the take-over of Tubus presents Hebie access to the OEM market of extruded fenders, next to Hebie's existing clip-on fender and mudguard product range. In 2015 Tubus acquired Bernd Herkelmann's Wingee fender production followed by the take-over of the Italian extruded fender producer Orion in 2016.
Ronge's management tasks are handed over to Anthonie de Jong. "Thanks to his knowledge and experience de Jong is the right man for this position," assures Niermann. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

What products or services are disposable or will expire if they are not sold? Examples of disposable products and services include tickets for whale watch cruises that become useless the moment the ship leaves the dock and winter jackets that become increasingly difficult to sell as summer approaches. Disposable products make ideal premium content coupon incentives.
A Blog: If you are using blog and you are relying on Adsense, then you can buy traffic. I suggest it only if you are in a very bad state/ initialization phase of blog. Do not go for a huge number of traffic for the first time, increase the number of visitors in time (to avoid suspicion from search engines). You must also consider re-targeting these readers. But remember you can't afford to buy traffic all the time, one of these days Google is going to find you, so alongside adopt SEO, content marketing practices also. In order o buy traffic, I would suggest fiverr. look for reputed seller/ reviews. Adopt practices suggested here.


AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)– HotSchedules today announced its participation in two of the restaurant industry's most prominent technology events, FS/TEC and MURTEC. HotSchedules will exhibit at FS/TEC (booth #225), February 21-24 in Long Beach, California in addition to MURTEC, March 10-12 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Ray Gallagher, Sr. Director of Operations Services with Carino's Italian (a HotSchedules customer), will be part of an educational panel session at FS/TEC on February 22 moderated by _Nation's Restaurant News_technology editor, Alan Liddle. The session, which will be held in room 202 at the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center, will focus on Technology for Workforce Management. The panel, which also includes one of the nation's top quick-service chains, will focus on Carino's experience using HotSchedules for both sales forecasting and labor scheduling.
At both FS/TEC and MURTEC, HotSchedules will showcase its labor management and online employee scheduling solutions created for restaurateurs, by restaurateurs. Now in its 10th year in business, HotSchedules was the pioneer in online staff scheduling, and has since grown to serve over 4,000 chain and independent restaurants throughout the nation with both online employee scheduling and comprehensive labor management solutions. HotSchedules is delivered in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, offering the highest level of convenience, flexibility and accessibility for restaurant employees and managers – and a fast, easy roll-out without disrupting the business.
HotSchedules allows operators to build labor plans through a template generator or with more advanced activity-based forecasting, significantly reducing the time it takes managers to develop staff schedules and manage the constant influx of shift changes and requests. For employees that are accustomed to calling in or driving to the restaurant to view their schedule or make a request, it's now as easy as logging in to HotSchedules from any web-enabled computer or mobile device, or dialing a 24-hour bilingual toll-free support line. Employees can also opt in to have alerts sent to them via email or text message when a manager approves or denies a shift change or other request.
With advanced sales forecasting, HotSchedules removes the guess work from workforce management by helping restaurants easily and more accurately project their targeted labor budget to align with projected sales. With more appropriate staffing levels for each shift, restaurants improve their bottom line while better serving their guests. At FS/TEC and MURTEC, HotSchedules will feature its new Sales Trending feature, which allows restaurants to forecast labor based on actual recent sales in addition to projections based on last year's sales. Without the details of hourly sales trending, restaurant managers cannot schedule accurately to the continually changing business flow.

Q: EOFError whilst pickling in Python Here's the problem - I'm trying to pickle, and then unpickle hiscores. When I use pickle.load, Python seems to think that I'm trying to load a file called 'Pickle' that I have. Here's the code:
def recieve_hiscores():
    hiscores_file = open("hiscores_file.dat", "rb")
    for i in hiscores_file:
        hiscores = pickle.load(hiscores_file)
        hiscores = str(hiscores)
        print(hiscores)

Here's the pickling code:
def send_hiscores(score):
    hiscores_file = open("hiscores_file.dat", "ab")
    pickle.dump(score, hiscores_file)
    hiscores_file.close()

And here's the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python31\My Updated Trivia Challenge.py", line 106, in <module>
main()
File "C:\Python31\My Updated Trivia Challenge.py", line 104, in main
recieve_hiscores()
File "C:\Python31\My Updated Trivia Challenge.py", line 56, in recieve_hiscores
hiscores = pickle.load(hiscores_file)
File "C:\Python31\lib\pickle.py", line 1365, in load
encoding=encoding, errors=errors).load()
EOFError

Don't worry if there's any other mistakes, I'm still learning, but I can't work this out.

A: When you iterate over the file, you get newline separated lines. This is NOT how you get a series of pickles. The end of file error is raised because the first line has a partial pickle.
Try this:
def recieve_hiscores():
    highscores = []
    with open("hiscores_file.dat", "rb") as hiscores_file:
        try:
            while True:
                hiscore = pickle.load(hiscores_file)
                hiscore = str(hiscore)
                print(hiscore)
                highscores.append(hiscore)
        except EOFError:
            pass
    return highscores
