Most knowledgeable chiropractors need to have a thorough history of the affected person, and this normally includes filling out some varieties and after that heading about the patient's numerous wellness difficulties, since they could relate to your spine DOT physical. It helps to request with regard to the ergonomics in the patient's dwelling. For example they could use a practice of sleeping on a couch or maybe just sitting on the couch itself is contributing for their back difficulties. A very low again patient can have the behavior of propping their toes up when sitting down. This practice can undo the operate remaining done while in the chiropractor's business office, so it is good to find out these things.
In regards to work accidents, a chiropractor operates right into a large share of blue-collar task people that work hard and perform tough – and everything can incorporate approximately spinal grievances, notably if that affected person features a history of spinal issues. At the very least half of your people that come to chiropractors discover on x-ray that there are a vertebra or two that have come to be malformed because of some aged forgotten childhood injury. It truly is uncommon for these malformations acquire place just after the age of 11 due to a basic principle acknowledged as Wolf's Legislation.
Chiropractors consider the function ecosystem in the individual. Your chiropractor may recommend that you utilize a gel centered wrist rest, when you are suffering from wrist troubles connected to employing a mouse at work. In case the personal computer observe is too reduced, or as well significant – which can contribute to ongoing cervical troubles. Similar to something, if we won't take out many of the aggravating things then any development may possibly basically be short-term, and procedure will take much longer, or go into maintenance. The chiropractor can take care in the spinal aggravations to your terrific diploma, but exterior influences should be found and settled.
All chiropractors are carefully qualified in radiology. They aren't only qualified inside the taking of x-rays, but they receive comprehensive training into looking through and decoding them. When they look with the identical disorder processes as a radiologist may, chiropractors also have differing measurement systems, and also various assessment methods. These point out worry details during the backbone that a health-related radiologist would not imagine are crucial.
1 issue is very important, you should not be afraid to question any concerns of the chiropractor. Should you knowledge soreness from the common response to an adjustment – never be afraid to bring up. A chiropractor watches for this sort of issues, and tries extremely challenging to keep away from "flare-ups" from any therapy. In order to mechanically confront inflamed, swollen joints without the need of aggravating them is indeed an art.
A lot of chiropractors choose for the gentler ways of managing these kinds of spines, while there are actually spinal difficulties that simply just call for a complete adjustment, which is wherever a chiropractor who genuinely is aware how you can "move bones" is valued. Whilst a full adjustment may possibly consequence in momentary soreness, the standard result is that the individual feels much better in a very handful of times to a week. Some chiropractors handle with softer procedures right until the affected individual is previous the "acute phase", then they are going to try to generate deeper changes on the backbone. These changes will not be as sore later on, and so it might be a smoother approach that way. Today, additional and a lot more chiropractors are making use of very low level laser therapy. Low degree laser treatment is known as LLLT, and it might support along with the soft-tissue components of the patients' challenges.

He's really great :-) I can't imagine why I did not find this guy earlier. And I would not ever I guess, if it wasn't bf of sister of my ex bf ( ) who recommended me this thing.
Thanks, I haven't heard Whitewash so far. Reminds me a bit of Neil Young music.
I fell in love with song "Stretching Lighthouse"
the last living rose quiver.
All of "Theli". Such a great album.
And I can play pretty much every song except the "udiums" and "Siren of the Woods" of it on bass now.
How cool is that, Jorge! Is there so much bass in the *udiums at all?
Mostly synth bass in Preludium and Postludium, but there is some proper bass in Interludium.
I see, Jorge. But anyway - these are only the *ludiums, so you're capable of playing all the essential Theli!
My dad, who's very much into aviation as a hobby, wanted to show me a video simulation of a TU-144 "with a beautiful song from some Finnish female singer". Turned out to be this song. So my dad tried to introduce me to Nightwish? How cute!
BTW, on this occasion I understood what the "222 days of light" mentioned in the lyrics mean.
Why so frosty, Kris? Nifelheim, your new avatar... are you in a mood for ice & frost?

The Eclipse, the myth of Regulus, and modern politics is the topic of discussion at the June monthly meeting at the AOA. There is so much currently happening in the world that is reflected in celestial events and the myths that accompany them. It's uncanny. And it's fascinating.
The nodes just moved into position on the Leo Aquarius axis. the August 21 eclipse is is at 29 degrees Leo and coming very close to a conjunction to the fixed star Regulus.
The eclipse path is cutting a swath through the middle of the United States, And, oh by the way, it's occurring on the same degree as the ascendant in Donald Trump's natal chart. (It was so nice of him to provide his birth data to the public).
Regulus is bright, it's close to the ecliptic and it has a big story to tell.
We are going to talk about that story at the June AOA meeting.
It's one of those moments in history that will make even the most determined skeptic take note.
We have lots to talk about and it will be an interesting evening.
Monday, June 12, 7 p.m. at Community Christian Church.
There is never a charge for monthly AOA meetings.

A small update about the boards, as you can see on the photo below, the boards are connected together and the power is well-distributed in each of them.
As I'm still waiting for my 3D printer, So I concentrate of the software and I will continue the mechanic later.
I finally received my samples from Texas Instrument for the voltage regulation. I chose to use several switching regulators in order to clearly separate each feature.
The little one on the top left is a PTN04050C, it will be used as 5v power supply of the RasPi, the STM32 and the class D ampli of the speaker.
The two on the left are PTN78060WAH, I will used only one for the light LED for night vision.
The tree on the right are PTN78020WAH , they will be used the the legs: One for 2 legs (front, middle, rear).
Each battery will have its own charger integrated in the robot, with one input connector for both.
The two batteries will be monitored by a specific component : LTC2945 (one one each). Animabot will be able to check the voltage and current on each battery and when the batteries will be low, Animabot will put itself on power saving mode, or sleep mode.
For the moment I am using another DC-DC boost converter from dfrobot for testing purpose, but in the future I will replace it by the PTN04050C on the motherboard.

College soccer: FGCU women battle Gators, lose 3-0 in NCAA tournament
Graham Hall
Special to the Daily News
GAINESVILLE -- For 65 minutes, the FGCU women's soccer team's defense had the No. 1 seed Florida Gators on the ropes.
The Eagles had applied enough pressure to force Florida to settle for off-balance shots that goalkeeper Melissa Weck had no trouble corralling. The defense wasn't allowing UF any easy scoring opportunities.
But the Eagles defense could only stand staunch for so long.
FGCU's season came to a close Friday night in Gainesville as the Eagles suffered a late 3-0 defeat to the Gators in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
"I'm proud of our team. It's not the result we were hoping for, but you know we knew we'd be up against it," Eagles coach Jim Blankenship said. "Florida is, as you saw, obviously very, very good. But it doesn't take away from our season and what we've been through this year."
Coming into the contest, FGCU (14-5-1), which only started the soccer program in 2006, was no stranger to facing the deeper and more experienced Gators.
But through the first two-thirds of the matchup, the Eagles appeared be Florida's equal.
Despite allowing 22 shots to the Gators, 12 of those on target, the Eagles defense kept Florida forwards Savannah Jordan and Melanie Monteagudo bottled up almost all night.
And when the Gators did manage to slip past FGCU's back line, Weck was her typical stellar self.
The freshman from Yorba Linda, California, had nine saves for the Eagles before Gators senior midfielder Meggie Dougherty-Howard slipped one past her from eight yards out. Any hope the Eagles had at staying in the game was effectively erased by an unassisted goal in the 78th minute from Florida defender Julia Lester. Jordan capped the scoring with her 81st career goal with just seven minutes until the final whistle.
"I think we stayed patient with that, but I do think they did a really good job of holding us defensively," Jordan said. "But once we got the first goal, Meggie did a good job of opening that up for us, it was a little better to relax after that."
For the Eagles, who have managed to make it out of the first round of the NCAA tournament just once – a 2-1 win over the University of South Florida in 2015 – in school history, the loss was a disappointing finish for a program on the rise. Especially for FGCU standout forward Tabby Tindell. In her final collegiate appearance, the star senior was held scoreless against the Gators, but still finishes her FGCU career holding school records for total points, goals scored and game-winning goals.
"I just feel super blessed to go through all four years with an amazing coaching staff, amazing teammates," said Tindell, who was battling a knee injury. "Just nothing but blessed and proud of what we've accomplished, and I'm looking forward to see what they do next year and the years after that."
Considering the glutton of injuries that have limited the Eagles from reaching their full potential, Blankenship said he was ecstatic with the effort and fight from his team throughout the season.
"It was literally two weeks ago we probably had nine guys that would not have been able to play," Blankenship said. "So we put on the braces and the tape and we did as well as we could.
"It wasn't the result we were looking for, but really proud of our kids and how they battled through to get to this point."

Her Dark Inheritance is an intriguing read from the start. The impenetrable tangle of mystery surrounding the infamous murder of the Bergmans and even the strange people of Willoughby kept me on edge. The reference to the notorious Lizzie Borden murders of 1892 is deftly done. The characterization is solid; each of the characters has her or his own intriguing aspects, and they really come to life when we are getting closer to the truth of the murders. I rooted for Daphne instantly, although it took some time for me to relate to Edwin, despite him being an 'anomaly' in Willoughby like Daphne. Flashbacks to 1982 also do the heavy lifting for the plot, bringing us closer to the truth and surprising us with good twists. The town might be small in scale, but the scope of its creepy enigma is wide. This engaging supernatural thriller is a solid start for the series from Meg Hafdahl, and is a treat for the fans of the genre.

Tenet Movie Review (2020)
https://www.galatta.com/assets/review/1607079055mug (10).jpg
Release Date : 04-12-2020
Movie Run Time : 2:30 Hrs
Censor certificate : U/A
Tenet Movie Cast & Crew
Cast :John David Washington,Robert Pattinson,Dimple Kapadia,Elizabeth Debicki
Production : Syncopy,Warner Bros. Pictures
Director : Christopher Nolan
Music Director : Ludwig Goransson
Any film that considers the fate of the world at stake as its core plot might not seem original in this day and age, but to present it in as unique a manner as can be will always be a daunting task. And likewise, few films will have faced higher stakes than Christopher Nolan's latest offing, Tenet, which is both daring and ambitious on all counts. One who's viewed as a visionary filmmaker in recent times, to consider making a film that is out-and-out original amidst the superhero blockbusters, with a budget that equates on the lines of a superhero film in itself will be the first intimidating challenge and Nolan rises to the occasion once again. If there's one thing that has come to be known about Nolan and his films throughout his career, is his fascination for the concepts of time, time travel, reality and point of view as evidenced in his works such as Memento, Inception, Interstellar and now, Tenet. A gargantuan big-screen spectacle, Tenet reminds us what makes the cinematic experience - special.
Christopher Nolan's Tenet, which was stated to be in ideation for more than a decade, is a thrilling adventure through earth-shattering action, mind-bending physics and exemplary conceptualization. Nolan wastes no time in kicking off the proceedings in Tenet as it starts off on a bang - literally! The first scene sets the wheels in motion for the narrative and it is non-stop action right from the get-go, with the filmmaker reminding us at the turnout of the end of the first big action set piece how all things and events are connected to one another and the attention of the viewer is of prime importance at all junctures.
The story starts off with a CIA operative called Protagonist (note: A Protagonist and not THE Protagonist) played by John David Washington, who faces a near-death experience at bullets that are "unfired" at him, eventually taking him to an organization below the depths of the underground figuring out the person/people behind the tech "fired" at him, that is ages away. He comes in contact with Neil portrayed by Robert Pattinson, who has a tongue-in-cheek reply to a majority of the questions thrown at him and a calculating mind for the challenges that come his way.
Together, dressed in fine suits, the duo become globetrotters and set off to face a threat unlike any ever before - inversion - that meddles with time and reality. The Protagonist and Neil then meet Priya Singh, an arms trafficker, played by Dimple Kapadia and Elizabeth Debicki as Katherine Barton aka. Kat, the estranged wife of a Russian oligarch, Andrei Sator, played by Kenneth Branagh, who is the antagonist capable of communicating with the future.
Without completely going down the spoiler territory, if one has to explain in short how inversion works, it is the reality as we experience where we see objects and their entropy (a lack of predictability) as they progress forward in time. That said, objects found in their material are inverted, which leads to them moving through time in a backwards state. As complex as the theory may seem to be, it is compensated in the visuals, which one must pay attention to at all times to get the gist of every minute detail. John David Washington's Protagonist and Robert Pattinson as Neil along with Elizabeth Debicki as Kat form an alliance to take down Sator before he takes down the entire world along with him in lighting the match that will engulf the globe in a raging fire for World War 3.
The action, which takes place and at various places and times, forwards, backwards and sideways, is mind-boggling and spectacular. It's the kind of action that will make you want for more, but also leave you exasperated towards the end, and Nolan has without a doubt left a massive mark on the front.
Of the cast, John David Washington as the Protagonist shows us the real world stakes in his actions and emotions at every possible moment. Robert Pattinson as Neil exudes a certain kind of aura of calm yet wonderment, while Dimple Kapadia as Priya keeps us hooked till the end and springs in a surprise as a key player in the overall plot of the film. Elizabeth Debicki is all class from the start to the finish - be it in personification or performance, while Nolan regular, Michael Caine, makes only one short appearance that pushes the pedal of the story in full-throttle.
Kenneth Branagh as Sator shows us the rage he tries to suppress, but also comes off as a fallen human, who is consumed with the age-old vengeance and wanting to take down everyone along with him.
The widely-publicised Oslo airport sequence, which includes a real 747 being crashed into an airport hanger, is also something that requires a special mention. Although the entire sequence might come off as an eye-candy spectacle, it is significant in the latter part of the film, when it is a matter of life and death and not just an action set piece. The execution of inversion at this sequence shows us why every minute of the film is connected to the entire narrative and is something Nolan has invested a lot of time in devising. Adding to the making, the filmmaker needs to be praised for not making it a VFX sequence and instead opting to do it with practical effects.
Tenet is a perfect return to cinema for film lovers who want everything in a single package - action, real world-stakes drama and a plot that makes you question the entire narrative over and over again to leave you bewildered with more wonder. However, it comes at a cost of the audience not compromising their attention as it is the single-most crucial step to following the story and not being left confused, which is easily possible for a plot that is capable of being as such.
Verdict :A highly-recommended film for audiences if they want to be left thinking for more and a visual extravaganza at its finest!

Currently the there's no set minimum capital demand for many businesses getting into the market. This alone creates wide selection of prospects for brand spanking new entrepreneurs in Vietnam. supported the Enterprise Law, charter capital should be paid fully quantity ninety days once receiving the business registration certificate.
The capital quantity differs counting on the business. In Vietnam, there area unit conditional business lines that set a minimum quantity for the capital.
For example, a totally foreign-owned land business has to have a minimum of a VND twenty billion (approx. US$ 878,499) capital. Legal capital for mutual insurance organizations can not be but VND ten billion (approx. US$ 439,000).
Department of coming up with and Investment decides on the minimum capital demand counting on however capital-intensive is that the field of business. For factories and industries, that operate at a bigger scale, the capital quantity additionally has to be higher.
However once beginning a business in Vietnam that doesn't need a lot of investment the capital are often quite tiny, particularly compared to countries like state.
How much is that the paid up capital in Vietnam?
While operating with the Vietnamese market, the paid up capital for foreign company as a customary is US$ ten,000. but it may also be less or a lot of. wherever will the distinction return from? the most issue is your line of business.
Some business lines have conditional capital demand, however the typical minimum capital accepted by the licensing authority is US$ ten,000.
Our current follow has shown that this quantity is usually well accepted, but once it involves confirming businesses with lower capitals throughout the incorporation method it chiefly depends on the Department of coming up with and Investment. it's wise commit to pay a minimum of US$10,000.
In Vietnam it's attainable to urge an approval for an investment not up to US$ ten,000. Main criteria is that your business field can not be capital-intensive.
We hope that we have a tendency to managed to demonstrate that beginning an organization in Vietnam isn't difficult and might be done even with comparatively upper-case letter contributions.

The `add` command is used to add locations to the load cache. For example,
given a set of Ruby projects under a `projects` directory, we could add all
those project with the following command.

    `realm add projects/*`

If a load cache does not exist when `add` is invoked, then a cache will be
created containing only the specified paths.

The cache is stored in the users home directory at `~/.cache/ruby/` (where `~/.cache`
is the default value for XDG_CACHE_HOME environment variable.) For the purposes
of this demonstration we have adjusted this location behind the scenes to
`cache/ruby/` (in the project's `tmp/qed/` directory). If we take a look we
will see there is a `.ledger` file there.

    ledger = Dir['cache/ruby/*.ledger'].first

To confirm that the cache has indeed been setup as expected we can read
in this file and ensure it contains the projects, which are TryMe v1.0

Media release: Virtual TMSA Keith Festival to 'take the floor' this weekend
LIKE most events around the world this summer, the Keith Traditional Music & Song Association (TMSA) Festival had been cancelled – due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, keen to ensure that Scottish traditional music and song enthusiasts don't miss out on their 'Keith fix', the committee then organised for the festival to become a virtual one instead.
Over the course of what would have been the Keith Festival weekend – Friday 12 to Sunday 14 June 2020 – many of the events that would've been held are moving online and on to radio.
The Keith TMSA Virtual Festival was announced on the festival's social media accounts by BBC Radio Scotland's 'Take the Floor' presenter and Manran band member, Gary Innes, who was supposed to be performing on Saturday night.
Work is underway to prepare a number of special events on Facebook as well as shows to be broadcast on Keith Community Radio (KCR) so that people can still hear from the guest artists that would have been appearing at the festival.
Commenting on the upcoming virtual event Keith TMSA Festival chair, Kathleen Anderson, said: "We are so disappointed that we are unable to hold the festival as normal. It's such a great showcase of traditional music and song and a fantastic way to catch up with friends old and new.
"However, we're delighted that our fantastic guest artists and friends of the festival have been willing to help us in producing a virtual festival online. We were keen to ensure that folk still got their Keith Festival fix and that we were able to give folk a wee bit of entertainment – especially in these difficult times.
"We're also very grateful to KCR for agreeing to broadcast so much traditional music and song over the weekend meaning there's a variety of ways people can enjoy the virtual festival.
"Hopefully it will show the wide array of talent that we have at Keith Festival and may even encourage some new folk, or those that haven't been for some time, to come back, in person, in 2021."
On Friday, the festival's Facebook page will be host to a virtual dance, using footage from the last five years of old time dances and there will be a live sing-a-round where people can join in at home with some of their favourite songs. Meanwhile, on KCR an archive show from the 25th festival will be broadcast.
The show, which was aired just weeks after the festival's silver jubilee, was presented by the late Charlie Johnston and consists recordings of sessions and special performances from singers and musicians who were at the festival that year.
Saturday will see a series of virtual concerts broadcast on Facebook over the course of the evening, consisting of special performances by many of those who were due to perform at the festival. Radio listeners will be able to hear a mixed concert of music and song just like being at one of the festival's concerts.
Finally, on Sunday, KCR will host a two-hour selection of Scottish dance music whilst over on Facebook there will be some archive footage from previous festivals including some previous Chorus Cup winners. The virtual festival will conclude with a very special performance of The Festival O Keith – widely seen as the festival's 'anthem' which is always sung at the end of the festival weekend.
The Keith TMSA Virtual Festival runs from Friday 12 June to Sunday 14 June in on Facebook and KCR – 107.7fm.

The Traditional Music & Song Association of Scotland (TMSA), set up in 1966, is a membership organisation whose core aim is to foster and promote Scotland's unique musical traditions.
TMSA branches provide opportunities for universal participation by running festivals, ceilidhs, concerts, workshops and competitions. The branches sustain the specific cultural traditions of their area, as well as those of Scotland generally. TMSA Keith branch organises one of the longest-running annual folk festivals in Scotland and helped greatly in Keith being the first town recognised as a 'Scots Toun' in the country.
The TMSA believes grassroots participation in traditional music and song involving all parts of the traditional community is fundamental to the continued authentic voice of professional performers, to the very cultural identity of Scotland and its relationships with other countries.

Yesterday was clearly one of those monumental days in all of sport.
Two years ago, Tiger Woods was not able to bend over to tie his shoelaces, let alone swing a club. He could barely walk. He couldn't sit. He couldn't lie down. He really couldn't do much of anything.
However, his body which had undergone numerous surgical procedures, among them spinal fusion, and a mind that once spiralled out of control soon rediscovered the art of winning golf's biggest prize.
It was Woods' fifth Masters. The first since 2005. His win also ended an 11-year drought since his last major win, the 2008 US Open.
We had all wondered if he would ever play golf again but one slow step after slow step, Woods found a way to again compete and now to win.
Woods had lost his impeccable image to a scandal, one of the swiftest and most shocking downfalls in sports. He lost his health to back problems. He went two years without even playing a major now the comeback is truly complete.
Many wrote off Woods' career. 22 years later, he wins again for the 5th time.
There are so many lessons to learn from Wood's comeback. One of which is to never give up. You can always become better.
"Well, you never give up. That's a given. You always fight. Just giving up's never in the equation. Granted, pushing and being competitive has got me into this position, but it's also what got me out of it."
Tiger woods' victory is a reminder that it does not matter what people say, what matters is your focus and your uncompromising resolve for success.
If you fall, will you rise again? Think about it.
Nice one! Tiger Woods'story is really inspiring!

Years ago, I was standing on the top of a mountain in the middle of the night, far away from civilisation, looking at the sky. I felt overwhelmed by the thousands and thousands of stars staring down on me.
Now I have not only learned that the vast majority of these stars are located in the Milky Way but also that more than half of these are not single stars but binary stars, two stars so close together that the gravity pull makes them orbit each other.
During my PhD in the Astronomy and Astrophysics group, I'll study a subset of these binary stars, in pursuit of their system parameters. As they are old and evolved systems they help us to better understand binary evolution and test the theory of whether they can be the origin of a Super Nova explosion.

"Would you like to save 10 percent on your purchase today?" Surely you've been asked this question more than once before and you know exactly what the cashier means. She wants you to open up a credit card with her store in exchange for an immediate discount.
But what is a store-branded card? It must be a credit card, because you get an access to a credit line, but it feels different, because you can only use it at the stores of the particular retailer whose logo it displays. And above all, is opening up such an account worth the discount? Well, in order to answer this question, we should first learn exactly what this type of card is.
Store card (also known as a "private-label" card) is a type of credit card that is issued by or on behalf of a particular retailer or group of retail stores and can be used for purchases only at that retailer or group of stores. In all other respects, private-label functions like a credit card, although there can be other differences as well.
Credit check Credit check to approve the account, determine the credit limit and set interest rate. Credit check to approve the account, determine the credit limit and set interest rate. No credit check.
Line of credit Line of credit that can be changed over time. Line of credit that can be changed over time. No line of credit; you spend what you load on the card.
Interest fees Interest fees are charged if there is an outstanding balance after the interest-free period. Interest fees are charged if there is an outstanding balance after the interest-free period. No interest fees.
Activation Required. Required. Required only on orders of 25 cards or more, or $250 and higher.
Acceptance Everywhere Discover cards are accepted. Accepted only at Wal-Mart stores. Accepted only at Wal-Mart stores.
Rewards Up to one percent cash back on all purchases.* No rewards. No rewards.
Cash advance Available. Available. Not available.
Checkout verification method Signature. Signature. PIN.
Effect on credit history Does affect credit history. Does affect credit history. Does not affect credit history.
As you see, these three products are very different from one another.
The CARD Act of 2009 changed the rules on store card promotional pricing and APR (annual percentage rate) increases. However, although it was initially proposed, the final version of the act released issuers from the obligation to collect financial documentation to verify each store card applicant's income and ability to pay back the loan. Instead, issuers can now use statistical income estimation models.
The new regulations set limits on the types of promotions merchants can offer, including putting an end to one of their favorites: marketing cards with no monthly payments required for up to a year, but charging interest throughout the promotional period. Under the CARD Act either consumers must make at least a minimum payment each month or issuers must offer such an arrangement that no interest accrues over the promotional term.
Whether a store card is a good payment option or not very much depends on the circumstances. If, for example, you are offered a 15 percent discount on a $2,000 TV set, applying for the card probably makes sense, as you would immediately save $300. However, if the rebate is $10, it's probably not worth it, considering that the benefit would be offset by the slightly negative effect the application would have on your credit history.
On the other hand, for your day-to-day needs, regular credit cards are typically the better choice, as they are usually issued on better terms and their rewards programs, if available, cover a much wider array of merchants and purchases. So, if you did open a private-label account and unless you were offered discounts or promotions on an ongoing basis, I don't see a reason to keep it open after the initial rebate is applied.


These could be handled better by security professionals especially focused on threats — an advantage that managed detection and response (MDR) can bring to organizations. MDR provides advanced threat hunting services, faster alert prioritization, root cause analysis, detailed research, and a remediation plan that empowers organizations with better ability to respond to sophisticated attacks, examples of which were found in North America in the second quarter of 2018.
Compared to the first quarter, where the prevalence of threats was the most pronounced trend, the second quarter in North America's security landscape this year showed notable techniques that we foresee will be further honed. These include: combining the capabilities of cryptocurrency-mining or information theft malware and ransomware; hiding in the system until the payload is triggered; and embedding more functionalities in malware tools to steal more data.
Indeed, the persistent as well as prevalent threats in North America — information stealers, cryptocurrency-mining malware, and ransomware — highlight the need for equipping organizations with actionable insights and contexts needed to prepare and defend themselves against tenacious and evolving threats.
Of note was the prevalence of the Powload downloader trojan, which abuses PowerShell to deliver various payloads. When used by threat actors, system administration tools like PowerShell can let attacks, for instance, hide behind normal network traffic. Applying the principle of least privilege and proactively monitoring systems and networks for anomalous activities can help mitigate threats that abuse these tools.
We also detected AMCleaner and Genieo, malicious tools that affect the Mac platform. This underscores the significance of applying the same high level of security to systems running on other platforms.
While the increase of information stealers during the first quarter was uneven, a steady monthly increase of the same was observed in the second quarter. These threats can pose broad-based risks, as they can indiscriminately target systems in enterprises and industries across North America — from regular PCs used to pay bills online and update social media accounts to devices managed in the workplace.
Emotet, which made up the bulk of our detections, is notable in its propagation in that it can zombify systems to become part of a botnet to launch more attacks and further spread itself (via spam email). Fareit evades detection by abusing PowerShell.
Loki and Ursnif evolved. Loki can now use the contact list of compromised email accounts to spread itself. Additional functionalities can be also added, such as stealing cryptocurrency wallets or altering the system's IP and domain configurations. Ursnif now evades detection by using the original names of normal system files and processes for the files it drops in the system.
ZBOT, Dridex, Banker, and Ramnit, which focus on stealing online banking-related information, are still prevalent despite being old. Trickbot was almost inactive during the first quarter but gained traction during the second quarter.
These threats highlight the significance of actively keeping an eye on activities in an organization's online premises — from systems and networks to servers — even if they seem innocuous. Correlating these activities, along with having context on the threats involved, equips organizations with foresight on how to thwart them.
For instance, we saw a variant of Trickbot that attempts to hide in the system for a long period. Upon successfully infecting the system, it checks the network it is connected to if it is unpatched, and sends that information to the command-and-control (C&C) server. Its second phase of attack entails locking computer screens and infecting numerous devices on the network. It's indeed unusual for an information stealer to also take the infected system hostage, but this could also be a novelty for cybercriminals as they try to further monetize their malware.
Our detections for malicious cryptocurrency miners outstripped ransomware in the second quarter (as can be seen in Figure 1). Compared to the loss of availability and confidentiality that ransomware or banking trojans can cause, unauthorized cryptocurrency mining on a host is often more bothersome. The impact to an enterprise setting can be significant as it consumes computational resources and slows down business-critical assets, or worse, stops affected systems from functioning effectively. Cryptocurrency-mining malware can also result in financial losses, from electricity costs to downtime in operations, if these malicious miners are left unnoticed, let alone unimpeded.
A tactic we've observed recently points to the careful management by threat actors of the impact of cryptocurrency-mining malware on an infected host to evade detection and remediation. Organizations may not actively detect and respond to cryptocurrency-mining malware as it can be underestimated as a less harmful and disruptive threat than ransomware. As such, it's likely to extend its unwelcome stay, thereby providing the malware operators more time to generate revenue.
Among malicious cryptocurrency miners in the second quarter, malicious versions of Coinhive were the most pervasive despite emerging less than a year ago.
Another notable trend we're seeing is how ransomware and cryptocurrency-mining malware are intersecting. This highlights defense in depth: arraying multilayered security mechanisms that can proactively detect and thwart threats that combine multifaceted routines. For example, we saw how a malicious cryptocurrency miner would lie dormant in an affected computer for months until the ransomware it was bundled with went into action. We also found indicators of attack showing that the victim's servers were used for cryptocurrency mining prior to manual infection and ransom demand, and vice versa.
The most common malicious miners we saw that used this mining-ransomware combo were COINMINER_MALXMR and COINMINER_COINHIVE.SM1-JS. While Crysis (RANSOM_CRYSIS) was the ransomware family most commonly paired with malicious cryptocurrency miners in the beginning of the year, it was WCry aka WannaCry during the second quarter.
Our detections for ransomware in the second quarter paled in comparison to those for information theft and cryptocurrency-mining malware. However, our data showed that it was still a relevant threat, and in certain cases, was reworked to serve its operator's purpose.
Our detections for Gandcrab, which is distributed mostly via Rig and GrandSoft exploit kits, increased in the second quarter on the back of several large-scale spam campaigns. Other notable ransomware families in the second quarter were Nemucod (which can also serve as a backdoor), Locky, and WCry aka WannaCry (which was the top ransomware detection).
Their prevalence reflects the perennial challenge of patching, as fixes for the vulnerabilities they exploit had already been released. And given the disruptive and destructive impact of ransomware, especially to enterprises, defensive measures should be complemented with a strategy that proactively hunts for these threats or similar indicators of attacks to better thwart them and, in the event of compromise or infection, remediate them.
While many organizations have the technologies that can provide threat research and analysis, such as endpoint detection response (EDR) tools, it takes significant time and specialized skills to effectively use them. MDR enables organizations to draw on the exhaustive knowledge of professionals with years of experience as well as on powerful technologies that can help further secure both endpoints and the network. This is especially useful for organizations without their own security operations centers (SOCs).
Trend Micro endpoint solutions such as the Smart Protection Suites and Worry-Free Business Security solutions can protect users and businesses from threats by detecting malicious files and messages as well as blocking all related malicious URLs. The Trend Micro™ Deep Discovery™ solution has an email inspection layer that can protect enterprises by detecting malicious attachments and URLs.

Rebuilt, faster Opera browser debuts
Opera Software releases a stripped-down, rebuilt beta version of its browser software, in its latest bid to chip away at Microsoft's dominance.
January 27, 2003 12:30 PM PST
Web browser dark horse Opera Software has released a stripped-down, rebuilt beta version of its browser software, in its latest bid to chip away at Microsoft's dominance.
The company's browser, which it has long-claimed that it loads pages substantially faster than Internet Explorer, has been almost completely rewritten to speed page loads even more and to support a wider variety of Web standards.
The beta release has been eagerly awaited by the company's small user base but is unlikely to make much of a ripple in the wider Web market, analysts said.
"No one told these folks that the desktop browser war has been over for a few years," said Michael Gartenberg, research director at Jupiter Research. "But it's nice that they don't seem to care."
While Opera has picked away only a tiny share of consumers from Microsoft, its programming experience has let it write what analysts view as a very promising browser for small-screen devices such as mobile phones.
Open-source browser Mozilla has also continued to pursue development efforts. Each browser had about 0.8 percent market share in September, according to Web research firm OneStat.
Opera's new browser is focused on the company's strengths: speed and conforming with evolving Web standards that allow more user interaction with Web pages.
The company's programmers rewrote the browser technology that renders code into its visual Web representations and helped add speed, executives said.
"These guys have done this a number of times before, looking at how to make it faster," Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner said. "They've been working on ways to make it more effective. It is increasing the speed of pages quite a lot."
The software has a new, more customizable look, although most of the basic interface has been kept in only slightly modified form. It includes new e-mail- and newsgroup-reading technology, as well a feature that allows browsers to see how a site would look on a mobile device using the Opera browser.
As before, a free version of the software that displays banner ads will be available, or an ad-free version can be purchased for $39.
One of the complaints from users of the software has typically been that it can't read all pages well. Many software developers write their code to conform to Internet Explorer, rather than broader Web standards.
Tetzchner said his team of programmers addressed some of these problems, but that there probably will be a few pages that could continue to have difficulties. Opera isn't tailoring the software to function with pages that work solely with Windows or Microsoft's ActiveX technology, for example. The company doesn't want to support exclusionary coding, the CEO said.
"We do our best to make sure that (these sites) work as well as they can, but there are situations we don't want to go into," Tetzchner said. "Sometimes people take (Web development) shortcuts, and we don't want to encourage that."

Here's where top 2016 presidential hopefuls stand on net neutrality
Follow Silicon Valley's money.
The next battle in the intensifying 2016 presidential campaign will take place this week in the most important net neutrality vote Washington, D.C., has seen in over a decade.
Quickly becoming a highly partisan Democrats vs. Republicans issue, several major 2016 contenders have forcefully carved out positions on one of the most divisive (if least understood) technology issues of the era while others have stayed noticeably silent.
On Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will vote on whether to reclassify broadband Internet connections as a public utility (like water or electricity), giving the agency the authority to regulate the speed and equity of Internet connections in order to allow equal and unfettered Net access, advocates say. Critics warn of government overreach, new taxes, and a slew of unintended consequences.
Hillary Clinton, the leading Democratic candidate according to virtually all polls, has spoken out in favor of net neutrality for nearly a decade.
"It is the embodiment of the fundamental democratic principles upon which our nation has thrived for hundreds of years."
"I support net neutrality," she said in 2006. "[The Internet] does not decide who can enter its marketplace, and it does not pick which views can be heard and which ones silenced. It is the embodiment of the fundamental democratic principles upon which our nation has thrived for hundreds of years."
President Obama has pushed for net neutrality so forcefully that Republicans are investigating whether or not he wielded undue influence over the FCC, an independent government agency, in order to gain the result he seeks from Thursday's vote. The White House has roundly denied these charges.
Silicon Valley widely backs the net neutrality reform that is expected to pass this week. Telecommunications giants, such as Verizon and AT&T, have fiercely opposed the new rules both in the public and legal spheres.
On the other side of the aisle, one Republican presidential contender has fiercely opposed the new regulations.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) famously called net neutrality "Obamacare for the Internet," adding that not only is the plan "beyond the scope of the FCC's authority," but that it "would threaten the jobs and investments made possible by the broadband industry."
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), another big-time GOP hopeful, has come out against net neutrality as well.
"Yeah, I don't want to see regulation of the Internet. I think it's the wrong way to go about it," Paul said late last year to the Huffington Post.
Paul's opposition has deep roots, as far as the young senator is concerned. Right after taking office in 2011, Paul co-sponsored a bill to repeal net neutrality regulations and has repeatedly taken the same position ever since.
Both Cruz and Paul are currently trailing in most recent polls to Scott Walker and Jeb Bush, widely considered the two GOP front runners at this point in the race. However, both Walker and Bush have been conspicuously silent on the issue of net neutrality.
While he's said next to nothing on this issue, Bush and Walker have aggressively courting Silicon Valley executives in hopes of earning major donations toward their already formidable campaign machines; Bush boasts the richest war chest in the GOP's race by a significant margin so far.
The FCC's Feb. 26 vote could have a clear and major impact on the future of the Internet, but the consequences for the 2016 race are harder to gauge.
A recent poll found that 74 percent of the public doesn't know what net neutrality is, and only 33 percent favor it. By that measure, Republicans may be carving out a marginally winning position.
But the matter resonates deeply with big bank accounts of Silicon Valley and the politically active tech world in its orbit.
In that light, the Democrats' forceful support and Republicans' middling can be explained by the small but vastly influential group that care an enormous amount about this issue.
Big pieces of the 2016 puzzle are sitting squarely in California's tech capital and the contenders seem poised to do whatever it takes to get it.

Silicone Breast Implants Are Safe, FDA Says
Heidi Anne Duerr, MPH
Following two days of hearings, the US Food and Drug Administration has declared that silicone breast implants are safe for use and will remain available. However, the FDA will encourage manufacturers to conduct post-approval studies.
A top official at FDA told the New York Times that nothing in the testimony during the hearings made him believe the devices were anything but safe. "Women should feel assured that the FDA continues to believe that currently marketed silicone breast implants are safe," Dr William Maisel, chief scientist for the FDA's Center for Devices, told the Times. "We felt that way before the meeting, and we continue to feel that way after the presentations and discussions over the past two days."
Despite recognizing its relative safety, Maisel acknowledged that there are risks associated with the implants, including ruptures, a hardening of the area around the implants, the need to remove the implants, scarring, pain, infection and asymmetry.
These side effects and a lack of proper follow-up among women who receive silicone implants leave some concerned about the devices' true safety. Consumer and women advocacy groups and patients testified during the hearings. For instance, Diana Zuckerman, president of the National Research Center for Women and Families, testified at the hearing and voiced her concern about the lack of data to make informed decisions regarding silicone implants' safety. According to the Times, she said, "Without proper data, we still don't know how safe or effective they [implants] are and whether there are certain patients at risk for extremely negative outcomes."
When the FDA lifted its ban on silicone implants in 2006, the agency noted a dearth of data on adverse effects including "rare events" and "long-term performance. As a result, manufacturers were required by the FDA to complete studies on the implants' safety and performance. Earlier this year, results from six ongoing post-approval studies conducted by Allergan and Mentor, a unit of Johnson & Johnson, did not show an increased risk of breast cancer or connective tissue disease as a result of the silicone implants. However, FDA officials believe longer studies are needed. In addition, although FDA officials believe the chances are slim, they have acknowledged that breast implants might be linked to a higher risk of a rare form of lymphoma called anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
An FDA report further shows that the complications increase with the length of time that the devices are implanted. In a report in June, Dr Jeffrey Shuren, director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said: "The longer a woman has the implants, the more likely she is to experience complications." Indeed, the report notes that one in five women who receives silicone implants to increase the size of their breasts and half of the women who receive implants for reconstruction after breast surgery will need to have these devices removed within 10 years due to complications.
Meanwhile, the expert panel at the hearing agreed that the MRI guidance currently given to patients should be stopped. Patients have been told to have an MRI three years after getting their implants and then every two years thereafter to help detect ruptures. Many women ignore the recommendation due to the expense associated with MRIs. Plus, there is no clear consensus as to what to do when a ruptured is discovered, and the risks of removing the ruptured implant may be greater than the risks associated with a ruptured implant.
"[The] FDA continues to believe, as does the panel, that MRI is the gold standard for evaluating breast implants for silent rupture," Maisel told the Times. "But there was consensus among the panel that the requirements for ongoing MRI's should be removed." Maisel added that the FDA would further study the merits of this advice.
