The Volkswagen factory team is competing with three driver pairings at a WRC round for the first time at ADAC Rallye Deutschland (24–26 August). In addition to Sébastien Ogier/Julien Ingrassia (F/F) and Andreas Mikkelsen/Ola Fløene (N/N), the German junior driver Sepp Wiegand and his co-driver Timo Gottschalk (D), the winner of the 2011 Dakar Rally, will be running at the ninth event of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC).
The German duo will be competing in an additional Fabia S2000 of the Group's Škoda brand under a Volkswagen Motorsport nomination at the home around in Trier. Both are contesting the Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) in a Fabia of the Škoda Auto Deutschland team this season. There, at Rally Romania on the weekend, they were forced to retire due to a defect shortly before the end while running in second place. In the overall classification, they are ranking in a good fourth place after nine rounds.
"Sepp Wiegand and Timo Gottschalk are showing a superb performance in their first IRC season," says Volkswagen Motorsport Director Jost Capito. "That's why they deserve the chance to compete for the Volkswagen team at the German WRC round. Sepp and Timo were running for us at Rally Great Britain in 2011 but unfortunately were forced to retire at that time. Now they're getting the opportunity to prove their skills at ADAC Rallye Deutschland."
The trained automotive mechatronics specialist from Zwönitz can hardly wait for the rally to start. "It's a great honor to compete in the Volkswagen team at Rallye Deutschland," says the 21-year-old."My team colleagues Sébastien Ogier and Andreas Mikkelsen rank among the world's best rally drivers. Being in the same team with them is a great feeling. I'll probably be able to get a few pointers from them. On the other hand, it raises the benchmark for me to a pretty high level." Wiegand, who only switched from Enduro to car racing in 2010 and won the ADAC Rallye Junior Cup in 2011, is aware of the challenge. "Rallye Deutschland with its narrow passages in the vineyards is very special. There's no room for mistakes there. In addition, the tarmac is often dirty, which makes it very slippery. Particularly the special stages in Baumholder on the Panzerplatte are a challenge. The tires immediately heat up and are subjected to extreme strains due to the rough concrete. You've got to find a happy medium to keep from overtaxing the material right at the beginning. But in Timo Gottschalk I've got a very experienced co-driver at my side."
Gottschalk, who in 2011 as Nasser Al-Attiyah's co-driver in the Volkswagen Race Touareg won the Dakar Rally, is confident. "We harmonize very well and have consistently been improving in the IRC," says the 37-year-old. A WRC round is more demanding than an IRC rally and thus gives Sepp a good opportunity for further learning. In any event, we're well prepared and look forward to putting the pedal to the metal in front of our home audience."


Most hospitals are nonprofit and justify their exemption from taxation with community service and charity care. But the Trump administration could require some of them to do more to help the poor, and the hospitals that are in the crosshairs are those benefiting from an obscure drug discount program known as 340B.
But there is concern that 340B has come to include hospitals that do not need the extra help and are not using its windfall as originally intended.
The program has grown considerably, most recently as a result of an expansion included in the health care law. As of 2004, about 200 hospitals benefited from the 340B program; by 2015, over 1,000 were participating. The program now encompasses 40 percent of all hospitals and an even larger number of hospital-affiliated clinics and pharmacies.
It might seem odd to give discounts on drugs to help hospitals offer care to low-income patients. How can we be sure they will use the money for that?
Other research corroborates that hospitals are not using the 340B program as intended. A study in The New England Journal of Medicine was unable to find any evidence that profits from 340B have led to more access to care for low-income patients, or reductions in mortality rates among them. Another study in Health Affairs found that 340B hospitals have increasingly expanded into more affluent communities with higher rates of insurance.


A $5.5 million addition and renovation of the Douglas and Henrietta (Miedema) Ribbens Academic Complex was completed in 2009.
It is home to many of the academic program facilities, including a 220-seat lecture hall, classrooms equipped with interactive technology, the New World Theatre and theatre arts shop, and computer labs.
Teacher education classrooms have been equipped with a state-of-the-art (and newly emerging) educational technology in a smart technology classroom, a science methods classroom, and three other model classrooms. A faculty suite provides space for offices as well as informal learning areas for professors and students to discuss teaching strategies.
Digital media and graphic design computer labs provide workstations equipped with the latest Avid movie production software and network servers for growing graphic design, web design, animation, and digital media classes. A soft-seating area provides space for round-table team project discussion, and a project critique area provides display space.
Art facilities include areas for sculpting, painting, and print-making, as well as a newly remodeled art gallery and a kiln room. The art department has 13,000 square feet of centralized studio, photography, digital media, gallery, and office space, and features large studio areas with skylights, extensive built in cabinetry, vented hood areas, and dust removal systems to improve the efficiency, safety, and comfort of students learning the latest artistic concepts.
The academic complex also accommodates the office of graduate education and the copy center.


Born and raised in Oshawa, 30 mins outside of Toronto, Michael "Mic Boogie" Lamourie grew up in a blue collar world defined by hockey, classic rock, and General Motors.
From an early age, it was clear that his love for Hip Hop music and culture, bolstered by musical groundbreakers like Grand Master Flash & the Furious Five, the Boogie Boys, and Run DMC, Mike's interest spread from what the music meant, to how the music was made.In the time he didn't spend playing basketball and football in high school, Mike surrounded himself with local MC's and producers, building his talent and skills as a lyricist, producer, and entertainer.
Mentored in production by local DJ Rodney "Rod C" Woodman, Mike soon moved on to writing his own rhymes, and developing his style.Mike hooked up with Pocket Dweller front man Nigel "N.I.Gel" Williams after performing at local parties and freestyle sessions, and formed SRL (Suburban Rap Lords).
Together they rocked local talent shows and contests, but wanting to define himself as a solo artist, Mike parted ways to find his own musical path.
Mic Boogie is the product of the curiosity, passion, and dedication that Mike Lamourie brings to his music, mixing the sounds of 60s and 70s classic rock with the style and flair of 80s Hip Hop. Production that can shake the room mixed with a laid back delivery that's equally at home attacking current events and hyping the crowd. A harsh dose of reality, a comic twist, and a guarantee that you'll want more are the calling cards of Toronto MC Mic Boogie.
Mic Boogie shared the stage with K-OS in his early years, and has since performed with artists such as G Knight, Pocket Dweller front man NIGel, Renny Holladae, Kinsmuv of S.L.U.G., Keelo Gramz and Lindo P.
He's also been asked to perform at several large scale parties and events, including two Chris Bosh (Toronto Raptors) Charity Christmas Shows, and the Billboard Hip Hop and R&B Conference in Atlanta. Most recently the new co-host of Roc Da Mic Toronto.

Sheneen McClain 'overwhelmed' at indictment in son's death, calls for those charged to be fired
Denver7
Sheneen McClain says she was overwhelmed and cried when she learned a Colorado grand jury had indicted the two paramedics and three police officers involved in the death of her son, Elijah McClain.
By: Jennifer Kovaleski , Blair Miller
DENVER – Sheneen McClain says she was overwhelmed and cried when she learned a Colorado grand jury had indicted the two paramedics and three police officers involved in the death of her son, Elijah McClain.
"The Attorney General [Phil] Weiser, I'm grateful to his team. I'm grateful to the grand jury. They sat through all that evidence when it was hard for me just to get through the videos," she said. "I'm grateful to everything that they've done to prove that my son was innocent. But I'm overwhelmed. I'm shocked and still processing it."
Weiser on Wednesday morning announced a 32-count indictment against the five first responders involved in the incident that led to Elijah McClain's death in August 2019. All five face manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide charges, and four of them face assault charges.
"I have been saying for the longest time that the paramedics were actually accomplices to my son's murder," Sheneen McClain said. "They were the allies to the police officers, which basically were there to ensure that my son didn't come home that night."
Weiser said he had spoken with Sheneen McClain in the days before Wednesday's announcement to inform her of the indictment handed down last Thursday by the state grand jury.
McClain said that justice for her son would be him still being alive today and that she's still heartbroken two years later.
"There was no reason for him to be stopped. There was no reason for him to be brutalized, let alone injected with ketamine. Everything that happened from the time that they stopped him – the handcuffs should have been enough," she said in an interview. "If the police felt that he really did something wrong, the handcuffs should have been enough. But they went further. They brutalized him. They terrorized him. And then they posted a picture about it."
Sheneen says she still talks to Elijah – he visits her at her home. But she knows nothing will bring the physical Elijah back.
"Elijah is basically telling me this is my job. You know, he did his job," she said. "…He just wants me to know that he's as proud of me as I am of him. … I know he feels comfortable with the fact that his life and his death is changing how we move as people today."
As for what she wants officers and others to learn from her son's death and the indictment, Sheneen McClain said she wants people to learn that not everyone is a threat.
"There are a lot of people that are out here just trying to live like everyone else, and we deserve that," she said. "everybody deserves the right to live their life how they want to live it."
She also wants the four officers and paramedics who are still employed fired quickly. Their indictments on felony charges kicks in a provision of the city charter that mandates they be put on mandatory unpaid leave.
"I want to see it fast because they've been harboring fugitives. Like, they're literally murderers, serial killers that have been paid and employed by the state," Sheneen said. "And that shows that there's a lot more people in the system that are not doing their job the right way, because there's no way they should have been able to keep a job after that."
Iris Halpern, one of McClain's attorneys, said she believes the indictments show that the era of no accountability is over "and police officers are just not going to be able to get away with it anymore."
"I think what it says about what happened to Elijah McClain is that ordinary people can recognize how wrong it was that he was murdered, that he was completely innocent, and that justice has to be done in this case," Halpern said. "And that is what the grand jury said today with their indictment."

The Government's policy is to encourage the export of defence and dual-use goods where it is consistent with Australia's broad national interests. Our export control system is the means by which this consistency is ensured. Australia's export control policies and procedures are reviewed regularly to take account of changes in strategic circumstances and priorities.
Exports that are considered to be sensitive may be referred to other areas of Defence or other Australian Government Agencies for consideration.
Policy Criteria
Applications to export defence and dual-use goods are considered on a case-by-case basis. Applications are assessed to determine whether the controlled activity would be prejudicial to the security, defence or international relations of Australia. Assessment criteria broadly cover the areas of Australia's international obligations, regional security, national security and foreign policy, and human rights.
1. The risk that the DSGL technology or the goods may go to or become available to a country upon which the Security Council of the United Nations or Australia has imposed a sanction
2.	The risk that the DSGL technology or the goods may go to or become available to a country where it may be used in a way contrary to Australia's international obligations or commitments
3. The risk that the DSGL technology or the goods may be used to commit or facilitate serious abuses of human rights
4.	Whether the supply of the DSGL technology or the goods, or the publication of the DSGL technology:
(a) may aggravate:
(i) an existing threat to international peace and security or to the peace and security of a region; or
(ii) a particular event or conflict of concern to Australia; or
(b) may otherwise contribute to political instability internationally or in a particular region
5. Whether the DSGL technology or the goods may:
(a) be used for conflict within a country or for international conflict by a country; or
(b) further militarise conflict within a country
6. Whether the supply of the DSGL technology or the goods, or the publication of the DSGL technology, may compromise or adversely affect Australia's defence or security interests, its obligations to its allies or its international obligations and responsibilities
7.	Whether the DSGL technology or the goods may go to or become available to a country that has policies or strategic interests that are inconsistent with the policies and strategic interests of Australia or its allies
8.	The risk that the supply of the DSGL technology or the goods, or the publication of the DSGL technology, may:
(a) adversely affect Australia's military capability; or
(b) substantially compromise an Australian defence operation; or
(c) increase the military capability of a country that is a potential adversary of Australia
9.	The risk that the DSGL technology or the goods may go to or become available to a country:
(a) that is developing, or is reasonably suspected of developing:
(i) weapons that may be capable of causing mass destruction; or
(ii) the means of delivering such weapons; or
(b) that supports, or is reasonably suspected of supporting, terrorism; or
(c) whose actions or foreign policies pose a risk of major disruption in global stability or the stability of a particular region

Description: Maymand is a self-contained, semi-arid area at the end of a valley at the southern extremity of Iran's central mountains. The villagers are semi-nomadic agro-pastoralists. They raise their animals on mountain pastures, living in temporary settlements in spring and autumn. During the winter months they live lower down the valley in cave dwellings carved out of the soft rock (kamar), an unusual form of housing in a dry, desert environment. This cultural landscape is an example of a system that appears to have been more widespread in the past and involves the movement of people rather than animals. --WHMNet's description is from WHC Site, where additional information is available.
Meymand (Persian: ميمند, also Romanized as Maimand; also known as Meymand-e Olya) is a city in and the capital of Meymand District, in Firuzabad County, Fars Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 8,615, in 2,138 families. Meymand is located a few miles east of Firuzabad and about 70 miles (110 km) from Shiraz. Its population is almost wholly occupied with the manufacture and sale of rose water, which is largely exported to many parts of Iran as well as to Arabia, India and Java. Shafaq cave is located nearby. The district also produces great quantities of almonds. --Wikipedia. Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.

HISTORY: For thousands of years humans have recognized the passage of time, whether through the cycle of night and day or by the passing of the seasons. Our current method of timekeeping, which uses a 60-second minute, a 60-minute hour and a day divided into two 12 hour periods, originated over 4,000 years ago in Mesopotamia and Egypt (Barnett 1998: 102).
The Ancient Egyptians built great obelisks to track the sun, creating the first sundials. In 600 BC, philosopher and astronomer Anaximander is said to have introduced the sundial to Greece and from there it grew in popularity and was the most trusted timekeeping device for centuries (Ostler 2003). Sundials still remained in use even with the invention of mechanical clocks, as early clocks were notoriously inaccurate and had to be regularly calibrated using a sundial. Around 1600, English mathematician William Oughtred invented the ring dial, a small portable sundial that quickly came into common use throughout Europe (Chandler and Vincent 1967: 156).
It consists of a brass ring which, when suspended vertically and oriented towards the sun, can be used to determine the time of day (Eden and Lloyd 1900: 188) (Figure 2). The interior surface of the ring has numbers corresponding to the hours of the day and the exterior has letters corresponding to the months of the year. A narrow band of brass slides along a groove set in the exterior surface of the ring. The movable band has a hole in it, which can be aligned with the letters, or months, on the exterior of the ring. The hole in the band allows sunlight to pass through and strike the numbers on the interior surface indicating the time of day (Stephens 1851: 52).

Panama Ponders Cryptocurrency Legislation
The Central American country's banking system could benefit from the use of crypto, analysts say, while urging caution
Panamanians could soon have a U.S. dollar savings account, and another in cryptocurrencies, as is possible in Europe.(

Panama City — Panama's National Assembly is currently studying a proposed law that would regulate the use of cryptocurrencies in the Central American country.
The bill, presented by legislator Gabriel Silva, seeks to create a regulatory framework that promotes "banking interoperability", to make traditional systems compatible with new technologies and thus ensure greater inclusion.
The bill, called "Crypto Law: Making Panama compatible with the digital economy, blockchain, crypto assets and the Internet", is seen as a step in the right direction as Panama lags behind other countries in terms of the implementation of cryptocurrencies, in both their use and as part of currency circulation, according to José Abbo, director of savings fund Fondo Ahorro de Panamá and an independent financial advisor.
Although he acknowledged that the project was inspired by the experience of El Salvador, which in 2021 made Bitcoin legal tender, Silva said that the Panamanian proposal is different, as it does not intend to establish Bitcoin as legal tender, but rather to promote the use of several crypto currencies.

"In El Salvador, a digital wallet was created, but that is not the plan here," Abbo said, pointing out that Panama can no longer continue to depend on the usual sectors for its development, and that the introduction of cryptocurrencies would bring a lot of investment in technology.
Cryptocurrencies have a dual use, as they can be used as a speculative asset and as an asset that would facilitate the movement of digital money in Panama's banking environment, "and that is where the contribution of banks to adapt to this new reality comes in", Abbo said.
For his part, Otto O. Wolfschoon, president of the board of directors of the Panama Banking Association, believes that it is important that the country remains attentive to the development of new technologies and new financial products, including the issue of digital assets.
He points out that any innovative action in that direction must be analyzed in terms of cost/benefit and risk/return, so it is extremely important, because of the sensitivity of the issue, to analyze, weigh up and evaluate any change to the structure of the country's monetary system, which is fully dollarized and connected to the rest of the world.

"This dollarization and financial integration is one of the pillars, not of our economy, but of our country", Wolfschoon said.
"While we make this analysis we have to be very careful not to accelerate an issue that precisely at this moment that the U.S. dollar as legal tender in the country is being analyzed," he said.
Abbo said that the Panamanian banking system's advantage is that it has kept up to date with current technology, and which would help to propel the system by offering new products that will allow, for example, having a savings account in U.S. dollars and another in cryptocurrencies, as occurs in Europe.
He also added that it is an opportunity to create joint ventures to offer this type of services, with an exchange rate functioning not just in U.S. dollars but in digital assets.

The bill states in the explanatory memorandum, once approved, all persons would be able to freely trade in crypto assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, as a means of payment for any civil or commercial operation not prohibited by the country's legal system.
Likewise, entities may receive payments, directly or through payment processors or agents contracted for such purpose, for taxes, fees and other tax obligations in crypto assets.
The above would be possible thanks to a regulation on the use of crypto assets for the payment of taxes issued by the General Directorate of Taxes of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, in coordination with the Government Innovation Authority, based on the principles of protection, order and transparency of public finances; and cybersecurity best practices to avoid financial losses.

Recently, the Appium project, a large open-source application, decided to rewrite its codebase using ES2015, the newest version of JS. Not only that, we wanted to do a complete architectural overhaul, and in the process avail ourselves of all of the amazing new practices we'd heard lauded during conferences over the previous years. We went for it whole hog, and six months later we had our new application—all 45 modules' worth. It was beautiful! And it solved many of our problems. But alas, it came with new ones we had not anticipated in our headlong rush towards the hottest new ideas.
In this talk, I'll tell the story of what worked and what didn't. What were the goals of our rewrite and how did our choices deliver on those goals? Specifically, how did ES2015 and the "many modules" approach work for us? What could have worked better and where are we going from here? What tools did we use or invent to cover over any drawbacks of our approach?
A degree of caution is important for any rewrite, especially when you are tempted to choose new languages or patterns because of their tantalizing buzzwordiness. On the other hand, there are many things you cannot know before you jump in, complete a project, look back, and ask how it went. What we learned is that the accepted Node wisdom, at least as we internalized it, doesn't apply to every kind of application. We needed to try things out and allow reality to humble us in order to eventually find the right patterns for our specific use case. Please, allow the false starts and dead ends we encountered to help you when you come to a rearchitecture of your own!

Early connection to the "Wild West"?
A young warrior by the name of Cisqua, now changed to Kisco, roamed the land of the Algonken tribe and one day he happened upon a beautiful maiden and her sister. As Kisco watched the maiden and the girl, a giant black bear came upon them, snatched the baby girl, and ran up a mountain. Kisco immediately chased the bear and finally caught up with them on top of what is now called Kisco Mountain. There was a horrible fight, but in the end, Kisco killed the bear and saved the baby girl from certain death.
When the Indian maiden saw that her little sister was saved, she wept with joy and instantly fell in love with Kisco, who had risked his life. The young warrior Kisco was named Chief and lived many happy years in the forest, which is now part of the Hudson Valley. He wore the black bear's claws around his neck for the rest of his days.


Britt Gillette's Conquest of Paradise is a complex, engaging thriller. Completely ignorant of nano-technology, this reviewer found himself searching the net to learn more. The things learned at sites where research is well underway confirmed the frightening reality I learned in the book.
The tragic events of September 11 terrorist attacks are unleashed in the novel, focusing on the plane that crashes into the Pentagon. A plan is presented to the president known as The White Horse Plan. It sets forth the policy to and outline to begin the newest arms race. It involves a revolutionary technology known as nanotechnology. The first nation to possess what is known as an assembler, will essentially be protected from any type of terrorist attack.
"The maturation of assembler-based nanotechnology will shower tremendous benefits on Americas humanity, but those benefits come with a price. Serious dangers lurk around the corner…Whoever breaks out with the assembler lead, whether it's a several hour lead or several year lead--that state will have the rest of world at it's mercy."
In a contest to be the first with an assembler, it is important to construct a way to defend against an attack should America not win the race.
At the same time Raphael Vicente is on a quest of his own, as the new president Europe he has the power to follow through on a life-long mission. He is working to eliminate disease, poverty and oppressive power.
With relevant passages from the Bible quoted at the beginning of each chapter, it is clear that things cannot work as smoothly as planned. With power come all things associated with it. Raphael, as well as other leaders, learn that they must act and react to events that take place.
With explosive narrative, fast-paced scenes, and an intense plot, Conquest of Paradise is as troubling a thriller as you can expect to read. The plot is very comparable to a Tom Clancy novel; the writing, parallel. The characters are deep, rich and well defined. The likelihood of the fiction of nanotechnology becoming true, all too likely.
September 11, 2001 marks the beginning of a world-wide war on terror. Unbeknownst to the citizens of the Western Powers, their governments are working on a modern-day Manhattan Project to create a weapon so potent, it will defeat the terrorists of the world once and for all. In an era when the very survival of liberty and the global economic system are daily threatened by weapons of mass destruction, the Western democracies ardently push the limits of the known universe to unleash a weapon of unrivaled omnipotence--a self-replicating assembler.
Amidst these troubled times, a god-like figure rises to power. As leader of the newly integrated European Union, Raphael Vicente sets out on a bold quest to exterminate disease, eliminate poverty, and destroy the world's oppressors. The ascendance of this new breakthrough technology sets the stage for realizing his dream--a world entrenched in democratic social justice for all peoples of the world.
But in Raphael's world of black and white, the dream of eradicating injustice proves to be a formidable task, and in the end, man's elusive pursuit of perfection drives him to the edge of never-before imagined consequences. In a struggle to provide adequate security, while preserving liberty, quick decisions must be made, and they leave the world teetering on the brink of annihilation.

The first two months of 2015 are already the warmest on record
Entering the dog days early.

We may only be two months into 2015, but already the year is burning up the charts, setting up the possibility that it could topple 2014's newly minted record for hottest year.
Together, January and February were the warmest such period on record, according to global data released March 18 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. With an El Niño (albeit a weak one) in place, there's potential for that warmth to stick around and elevate temperatures for more of the year.
How much temperatures around the globe differed from average during the first two months of 2015.

Of course, two months is only a small portion of the year, and it's impossible to say for sure how the remainder will turn out. But regardless of its final ranking, 2015 will almost certainly be much warmer than most years in the records (which stretch back to 1880), thanks to the steady rise in global temperatures fueled by the unabated release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
While January 2015 was the second warmest in the NOAA records, February was the warmest, coming in at about 1.5°F warmer than the 20th century average for the month. Combined, the first two months of the year were 1.42°F above average and nearly half a degree above the same point last year. February 2014 ranked only as the 44th warmest for the month.
"So we are much warmer for the year to date this year compared with last," Jessica Blunden, a climate scientist with ERT, Inc., at NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, said in an email.
(NASA's temperature rankings put February in the No. 2 spot and January tied for fourth. The rankings differ because each agency uses slightly different methods to process data.)
As was the case for much of last year, the eastern US was the only very cold spot on the planet this winter, with many more areas of abnormal warmth. In particular, the western half of the US was a hot spot, as was a large swath of Russia and parts of Scandinavia.
This pattern was a shift from much of last year, when the most sweltering spots were over parts of the oceans, particularly in the Pacific and Indian basins.
"The ocean heat does appear to be tapering off a bit overall compared with summer/fall last year, but we're still seeing record-warm temperatures in many regions, including, of course, the eastern North Pacific, which appears to have had a big influence over our weather in the US," Blunden said.
Ocean water has a long "memory" for heat, as more energy must be absorbed or released to change its temperature than is the case for air. That ocean heat helped propel 2014 to the top of the standings and will continue to play a role in 2015. Of the past 12 months, nine of them have been the warmest or second warmest for that particular month, NOAA said in its latest data release.
The El Niño that NOAA has declared to have started in February could also keep temperatures elevated, as historically the climate state is associated with higher global temperatures.
"So if El Niño holds, and especially if it strengthens, we could very well be looking at another record warm year," Blunden said.
Regardless of whether 2015 bests 2014 or comes up short, it is part of the larger, decades-long warming trend fueled by growth of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases released by human activity. Nine of the 10 warmest years in the books have occurred in the 21st century, and no record cold year has been set since 1911.
Watch out 2014, as 2015 may be coming for your crown.

Red Bull Wake of Steel - The sunken ship is ready!
Sixteen international wakeboarders will pull their best tricks over a half-sunk cargo ship, at the Red Bull Wake of Steel 2013, in Linz, Austria, on the 15th June.
A 65-metre long, water-laden and thereby half-sunk cargo ship has been prepared to offer wakeboarders the ultimate playground.
A 150 cubic square metre tank has been put together inside the ship, with a 28-metre long A-frame, a pair of kickers, a 20-metre pipe, a downrail and a 12-metre iron girder for the craziest rail tricks. The highest jump is 4.5 metres above water level.
A system 2.0 will be running to offer riders countless chances to show off their full range of tricks. Some of the very best riders in the world have been selected for invites to the exclusive contest with wakeboard legend Park Bonifay, from America, will rate the tricks of the world's best riders! The starting list includes international obstacle specialists like 15-year-old Thai wonderkid Daniel Grant, who will be looking to defend his title after becoming the inaugural winner last year. That will be no easy task as rider of the year, Raph Derome from Canada, will be taking part in Linz too. Having been finalists last year, the world title-winning pair of Dominik Gührs and Frederick von Osten are invited as is German obstacle specialist Nico von Lerchenfeld.
Local fans are also looking forward to an appearance from Austria's Dominik Hernler. The youngster from Carinthia, who last year came close to sealing a home success and instead landed a superb second place finish, has made a name for himself as a rail master with his boat European championship medals on board.
In Linz for the first time are newly crowned WWA World Champion James Windsor from Australia who recently became the RedBull Harbour Reach Champion along with Adam Errington from the USA.

Join Lizzi Kew Ross in London's Winter Walking Weekend
London academics share unearthed mysteries from the capital through specially curated art and history walks
Fri 28 Feb – Sun 2 Mar 2014 | Across London | tickets £8.00 | http://bit.ly/1bk5yZH
Ever wondered where London's first theatre was built? What it was like to live in the Jewish Ghetto of Victorian East London? What links a samosa to The Odeon in Whitechapel, and where King's Cross really is? The Cultural Capital Exchange (TCCE), a membership network for London's academics are putting on a weekend of walks, where expert London academics will share their painstakingly researched secrets from London's history with members of the public.
The range of highly eclectic and unusual walks will take place over the weekend in King's Cross, Whitechapel, Shoreditch, Mile End, Farringdon and the City, spanning many topics and disciplines to include: The Lost Theatres of Shakespeare, Cinema and Migration, Public Lettering and Typography, Jewish Immigrant Life in London's East End, Developing a Phenological Clock, Locating King's Cross, and Walking and Reading in the City. Each walk lasts between one and two hours and costs £8, with bookings available online at: http://bit.ly/1bk5yZH
Phil Baines, Professor of Typography at Central Saint Martins will lead the walk Exploring London's Rich Tradition of Letter Writing. He says, "This is walking with a purpose, looking up and down more than ahead. Seeking out the traces of who went before, and what they did, as well as admiring the skill and artistry of the letters they carved, painted, gilded or glazed."
Tamara Atkin, Medieval and Renaissance English Lecture at Queen Mary University will lead the walk on The Lots Of Theatres of Shakespeare's London. She says, "When you jump on a tube at Moorgate and emerge two stops later at Farringdon you imagine that you have travelled some considerable distance. But walking the same route, it's immediately apparent just how small the city of London really is. One of the things I love about walks is the way they encourage us to reassess distance, to reimagine the ways that spaces are connected, both geographically, and also by and through the people and places that once populated familiar landscapes. Bringing together research into late medieval and early modern theatrical practice, this walk aims to animate the Elizabethan and Jacobean past, both through invoking the words spoken in theatres, taverns and on the streets of Shakespeare's London, but also through the traces of his London that live on in the names of modern streets and buildings."
Evelyn Wilson, Director, The Culture Capital Exchange, adds, "Walking is an activity that so many of us enjoy and there is always so much to discover about our city, its history and how we inhabit it today. Our research communities are continually at the forefront of revealing new and compelling stories about so many facets of our city, past and present, so curating the Winter Walking Weekend feels like a timely opportunity to bring to wider public attention some of the outstanding work taking place in our universities."
Walking and Talking Books
Walk Guide: Lizzi Kew Ross & Co, Trinity Laban
Meet at 4pm, Paternoster Square
In Walking and Talking Books walk participants will discuss one of series of books while walking through a number of interconnected routes in the City of London. The idea is based on an upcoming dance performance piece, Reading with Bach, which is inspired by observing people reading as they walk and read through the city. The books and their subjects that will form the starting points for these conversations include: Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel on Thomas Cromwell; Hare with the Amber Eyes by Edmund de Waal on the collection of objects and Edgelands: Journeys into England's True Wildness by Paul Farley and Michael Symmons Roberts on the contrasts of urban space and our ideas of wilderness.
All the walks can be seen here.


Frontline began its journey in 1999, at a time when call centres were just beginning their rise. The original Frontline Telephone Answering Service opened in a tiny office in Warsash, later moving to Whiteley and then becoming Frontline Communications Group, settling in a prime location in Cosham.
Starting with just two clients, Frontline now proudly partners with over 150 companies from multiple sectors including funeral support, reactive maintenance and emergency response. We have grown with the industry and maintained it's reputation as a trustworthy business partner and investor in our employees.
Our ability to adopt new technology and software- including the use of our clients' external systems- has ensured that we can provide the highest levels of customer service. At the beginning, we wrote down all messages manually but have swiftly evolved to use multichannel communications. Clients rely on us to help enhance the relationship between our clients and their customers. They know that we are part of their team and that our outstanding customer service skills will represent them as well as their own staff.
Over the years Frontline has been recognised for it's excellent customer service, including being recognised by the National Call Centre Awards for it's outstanding staff.
Frontline prides itself on the care we take to ensure that each client is treated individually and its specific needs catered for. When a new company joins us, we create a unique script that ensures we take the necessary information to fully assist their customers. Call control- completing calls in good time but taking all pertinent details- and customer communication is skills that we have honed over our twenty years of service.
Co-operation, Excellence, Trust and Loyalty are the 'Frontline Values' that define how we work with our clients to achieve the best results and enhance their customer satisfaction. We co-operate with clients and become part of their team, rather than labelling ourselves a 'sub-contractor'. We are part of them and work towards the same goals. We maintain excellence in the quality of our call handling and customer communication to enhance our clients' reputations as well as our own. We respect the clients' wishes, following instructions and dealing with customers in a way that satisfies their own ethics and values, and we remain loyal to them in following these guidelines.
Frontline has always maintained that it's most important asset is its operators- they are our 'product' and maintain good relations with our clients by handling each call appropriately. They are what attracts new companies to our service and we appreciate the hard work they do every day.
Frontline maintains an atmosphere of friendly professionalism, maintaining excellent relations between management, team leaders and operators. Although this hierarchy exists, our operators know they can approach all levels of staff in order to resolve issues or to make any suggestions. Encouraged by this close-knit family atmosphere, staff take care of each other and have formed long-lasting friendships that shaped our ability to work as a team, reinforcing the work ethic and the Frontline Values.
Q1 Why did you want to start Frontline, specifically this type of business?
Q2 What would you say is the greatest change from it's start in 1999?
Q3 What have been the highlights of your time in Frontline and your favourite period in it's history?
Q4 What would say are the greatest strengths that Frontline has?
Q5 How has Frontline's relationship with its clients developed over time?
Q6 What puts Frontline above its competitors?
Q7 What is your hope for the future of Frontline?
As Frontline reaches it's 20th anniversary, it also says farewell to one of its founders, Tricia Jones.
Tricia has been Frontline's personal pep rally & head cheerleader, boosting morale and always taking time to take care of her staff. A woman with an irrepressible bounce and joyful outlook, it's hard to imagine this company without her.
A talent that Tricia has shown time and time again is encouraging Frontline's growth by maintaining great relations with existing clients and showing off our skills to sign on new companies to our service. Amazing what a sunny smile and buckets of charm can do!
From its early days, Tricia has helped nurture this company into what it is today. Now we hope she can enjoy her retirement and know that we'll miss her greatly, but wish her every happiness.


The password is the single most common security measure for digital systems, both online and off-line. The problem is that it is becoming increasingly less secure as hackers gain more and more powerful tools to simply crack them. A great deal of attention has gone towards the creation of secure passwords, what constitutes them, and whether or not it is feasible to retain a bunch of random alphanumerical strings inside your head all the time.
Brute Force Attack: The attacker runs a script that tries again and again to randomly crack your password by sheer brute force. A long password with multiple character sets is the best protection. The higher your password entropy the less likely your password will be compromised by a brute force attack.
Dictionary Attack: The attacker utilizes dictionaries of known words or passwords and a script to try them in thousands of combinations until one matches up with the correct password. Don't use common words, or keystrokes such as anyone's name or phone number. Use a combination of multiple character sets to reduce the likelyhood of multiple entries pulled for a dictionary matching up successfully.
In recent time, We have been working on having more security on our cPanel servers and have applied few new security policies.
Password Strength – An password of any kind must set to 80% strong at least. System will not accept your password until it matches the security policy. To setup an strong password, you can use Lowercase/Uppercase letter, signs/symbols and number.
Password Age – Passwords must be changed every 90 days. Our system will automatically ask user to change their password every 90 days.
These two measures should allow you to secure your cPanel and related services. In the meantime, if you have any questions about account security, please contact us at APT COM Support.


The relentless market has surprised a lot of people on the upside. The December selloff was painful, the rise out of the low has been equally painful. It has caught a lot of professional speculators such as the hedge funds unprepared. Normally the market bases for a period of time around the low, seldom it pivots so quickly that produces a V-shaped bottom.
Indeed we have a V-shaped low and it is racing to take out the October 2018 high. The October 2018 high is a 4-year cycle high, once this high is taken out, the previous 4-year cycle low is confirmed and the new 4-year cycle low to high rising phase will last at least until November 2020. As we blogged before, we are currently in the middle of a 17-year cycle that is similar to the period of 1982-2000. This December 2018 low is a 4-year cycle (February 2016-December 2018) low and a half cycle low of the 17-year cycle (2009-2026). We have steadfastly maintained a long term bullish outlook. We have been looking very hard for entry points to deploy fresh capital for investment opportunities. The indices continue to blow out resistance levels and now are marching for the old high.
It is 14 weeks into the current weekly cycle and it is very close to the old October 2018 high. We still maintain the stance that the market is not going to breakout from here and enter a point of no return zone. It will encounter resistance at the old high and enter a correction to reach below for the 200-day moving average. Back in October 1998, it made a 22.45% correction in 11 weeks to produce a 4-year cycle low, then it only took 7 weeks to take out the old July 1998 high, which was a 4-year cycle high then. The October 1998 4-year cycle low was confirmed in 7 weeks. It then entered a point of no return zone to create the dotcom bubble. This time it has spent 14 weeks already and it still hasn't taken out the October 2018 high yet, and we are not foreseeing a dotcom bubble in the next two years, therefore this December 2018 low is very similar to the March 2009 and February 2016 lows. It will experience a correction to provide entry points.
We have identified a few growth oriented investing ideas that are still in the early investing cycle. We have conviction in these three companies that will be disruptive forces in the coming 4-year cycle.

Ten All-Star nominations for us
October 3, 2012 Willie Joe
The nominations list for this year's All-Star awards was published last night and, as expected, we're well represented on it. Newly-crowned All-Ireland champions Donegal lead the list with twelve nominations and we're next on a generous enough ten. Cork have seven, Dublin six, Meath and Longford have two each while Armagn, Down, Kildare, Kerry, Laois and Wexford have one each. The full list is here.
Our ten nominees are David Clarke, Ger Cafferkey, Keith Higgins, Lee Keegan, Colm Boyle, Barry Moran, Aidan O'Shea, Kevin McLoughlin, Alan Dillon and Andy Moran, which is pretty much everyone we were talking about last week, with the welcome addition of the battling Davitts man at half-back. Congrats to all of them on making it onto the list.
The Footballer of the Year shortlist is comprised solely of Donegal lads – Frank McGlynn, Karl Lacey and Colm McFadden – which I guess is understandable enough. It would, however, have been good to see someone like Kevin McLoughlin included in this select group even if the winner was always going to come from the Donegal camp.
We've better luck in the Young Footballer of the Year category where Cillian O'Connor – last year's winner of this award – is included along with Meath starlet Donal Keogan and Donegal's Paddy McBrearty. This is another gong headed for the North-West, I reckon.
In separate news, the Indo is reporting this morning that the Connacht Council are considering turfing us out of next year's FBD League due to our failure to send a team to New York for this year's final final. It's an understandable reaction, I suppose, but it's a bit of a pity if it comes to this. Once we'd qualified for the All-Ireland final at the start of last month, it was pretty bloody obvious that our appetite for an early October trip across the Atlantic wouldn't be all that strong, regardless of the result, and so steps should really have been taken at that stage to formulate alternative arrangements. Instead, we've got recriminations and sanctions over a meaningless junket, which is all a bit pointless.
If the Connacht Council does go ahead and throw us out of the FBD then we should, I reckon, use this as a building block in creating a siege mentality around the team for 2013. If they don't want us, we should then retaliate by withdrawing all of our players from the various Third Level teams playing in the FBD and use the month instead for internal training purposes ahead of the league's resumption in early February. Let's face it – the FBD is a bit of a waste of time as things stand so if a slap on the wrist is coming our way due to the New York thing we should turn this to our advantage and use the month of January for our own purposes to prepare for the far bigger challenges that await us in 2013.

Alf Stewart says:
I think Donal Keogan will take the YPOTY. Brilliant versus Kildare. Nominated for an All Star which would increase his chances over the Cillian and McBrearty, don't know what the fuss is about the former to be honest, big lad but hasn't overly impressed me anytime I've seen him.
Micky Conroy can feel a bit hard done by, deserved a nomination. If Clarkey had kept a clean sheet in the final, he would have got it.
I think it'll go something like this…
Paul Durcan
Neil McGee (Donegal); Ger Cafferkey Keith Higgins
Lee Keegan Karl Lacey (Donegal); Frank McGlynn (Donegal)
Neil Gallagher (Donegal); Aidan Walsh (Cork)
Mark McHugh (Donegal); Michael Darragh Macauley (Dublin); Kevin McLoughlin
Colm McFadden (Donegal); Michael Murphy (Donegal); Colm O'Neill (Cork)
edit: I don't agree with that selection by the way, it's just what I think will be dished out. Aidan Walsh wasn't in within an ass's roar of an all star in my opinion but I can see that run and point versus Kildare getting him it sadly.
thebigcheese says:
i agree with a lot of what alfie says though i think they might not pick caff and pick dillon instead of mccauley. think barry moran and david clarke are deserving however and wouldnt be surprised to see either of them get it.
Can't understand the reactions to the fixture in new York. Is it a case of us not having the dough to send a team. Surely there must be 20 lads close enough to the county panel who would be willing to travel?
Also disagree with not taking part in FBD league. Could easily leave out 12 of our starting 15 or so from the Ai final and give fringe players an opportunity.
Tonyk says:
I agree with JPM. It would be nice to see the young O'shea and young O'connor, plus others, cut their teeth.
Willie Joe says:
The County Board are on record as saying that cash isn't the issue, JPM. They're citing (rightly or wrongly) a combination of fixture congestion (with senior and intermediate semi-finals on this weekend when the trip was supposed to be happening) and player unavailability as the reason for cancelling. Re not taking part in the FBD, it could be that we have no choice if the Connacht Council throws us out of it. My point is that if they do then we should use the month for our own purposes. If they leave us in, I suppose we'll have to take part in it only this time we should avoid winning it, just in case we end up in the same bother in 12 months time!
Why didn't someone on the Board pick up a phone after the Dublin game and make contingency plans? They could have postponed the trip or offered it to another county, who would certainly have taken it. Why didn't someone see this coming before now?
Being banned from the FBD League next year would be bad. It means you're starting the League cold and then fighting relegation by Easter, rather than looking at as many players as you can over the course of the League and then getting in Championship form by Easter. Bad job by the Board here.
Certainly some plans should have been made after we won the Dublin game, as it would have been obvious then that there was no way a trip to New York was going to happen this weekend. Offering it to the runners-up (NUIG) might have been an option, it certainly could have been tried. I'm not sure I'd agree that we'd lose anything by not being allowed to take part in next year's FBD, though. We never go with a full deck in January anyway, as a number of the panel end up playing for Third Level teams and not taking part in a tournament where we mainly play fringe players would, I think, have little or no impact on how we fare in the league. My point is that if they do turf us out of the FBD next year we should use the time for our own pre-season prep and as part of this it would make sense to withdraw our players from the Third Level teams, which would then mean that the full panel would have more pre-season time together compared to what would happen if we are in the FBD.
mayo.mick says:
Yet another f**k up by Mayo county board. I agree with you WJ, if they throw us out of the FBD league next year, we should withdraw all our county players from other teams in the league, and use the time for training/team bonding weekends etc.
Was Galway thrown out some years ago? I have it in the back of my mind that they were for some reason.
Stone Cold Steve Austin says:
Yup mayo.mick the County Board are shown up again. Maybe they could withdraw themselves from their positions? Added to the debt they have built up, the Strategic Review, this and the ticket fiasco that we see in the locals this week. And we'll stay in the FBD. These are games we need to try out players and see if they are up to league action and we cannot withdraw players from college panels. Remember many are on scholarships and are preparing for the Sigerson and will not be able to step out.
That's fair enough WJ but the best pre-season prep of the lot is playing matches. I don't think there's anything to beat that.
This is the team from our first FBD match of this year, from this great site's genuinely spectacular archives: David Clarke; Shane McHale, Eoghan Reilly, Lee Keegan; Peadar Gardiner, Donal Vaughan, Colm Boyle; Barry Moran, Seamus O'Shea; Kevin McLoughlin, Pat Harte, Danny Kirby; Enda Varley, Darren Coen, Michael Conroy.
That's not that weak a team, and it was an excellent chance for an under-the-radar look at players like Reilly, Kirby, Coen and Conroy. The absence from the FBD League denies Mayo that level of experimentation. They can't play challenges, because everyone else is playing their own competitions. There are so few inter-county matches Mayo need them all to look at players before the Championship begins.
I'm sorry fellas. Any way you slice this it's looking worse and worse.
James Joyce says:
@Mayo Mick, Galway opted out of the FBD, a bit like Man U opted out of the FA Cup some years back. I wish we would too, its a pointless competition without playing the men who need game time the most ie the college players.
Mayo Mad says:
Stone Cold Steve Austin & Mayo.Mick
Totally agree with your previous posts.
The Mayo county Board don't think logically, simple as. I also believe that the annual give away draw is way behind and hasn't taken place yet, it was due to start last APRIL.
Some very interesting reading this week in the local papers, It seems the well known local journalists are turning against them to.
30,000 the "free" New York trip was going to cost the CO board claim money wasn't issue even though the huge debts we have! FBD were giving 18,000 for playing the final and now a big fine is likely.
It would have made more sense to send over any patched up Mayo team.
Cynical Cynthia says:
Maybe the Board in their wisdom might learn a bit of courtesy now to supporters and to the Connacht Council. A phone call weeks ago could have sorted everything. There are all types of solutions. If there was an All Ireland replay this week would thry have allowed the lads to play?
This was brewing a few weeks ago when I spoke to an official – and when I asked him about the FBD final I got no answer. They knew they werent going a good bit before the AI final. Poor New York only get two games in the year and this one was pulled from under them. Mayo shouldve sent over the Junior or U21 team to this and fulfilled the fixture. Colleges have the first call on the 3 players in each Connacht county for the FBD. It will mean that between the three Connacht Colleges aswel as Dublin and Limerick, our lads will be well scattered throughout January and wont get it together right until the opening round of the league.
ceideboy says:
First of all I don't believe for one second that the connacht Council didn't know about the FBD withdrawal weeks ago. Anyone who is in are around Mc Hale park will see Connacht officials in and out of the place all the time. Especially in the lead up to the AI final. This is a face saving exercise by the Connacht Council, and fair enough in my view.
Afterall it would be the Connacht Club finals which would loose out as no way would Mayo clubs play their semi's and finals without their County Men, resulting in a delay in Mayo Championship and expulsion from the Connacht competitions.
Mayo will probably be allowed play in FBD next year if they wish, as the competition is stronger with them in it.

CSRF (also pronounced sea-surf) vulnerabilities can be used to trick a user's browser into performing an unwanted action on your site.

CSRF attacks can spread themselves as a worm.

Example scenario:

Posting on Twitter uses GET requests with the content of the message in the URL to post it on your timeline.
An attacker realises that and creates a link with a malicious message in the url. They send you an email with something you click on without realising they embedded the URL in the email.
Clicking on the content of the email actually posted a new post on your Twitter timeline without you realising and now everybody clicking on the link inside your tweet, ends up posting the same tweet, creating a worm.

A CSRF attack occurs when a malicious actor tricks a user into clicking on a link, or running some code that triggers a **forged HTTP request**. **The malicious code is typically hosted on a website owned by the attacker on another domain, hence "cross-site".**

## Usage:

CSRF attacks can:

* Steal confidential data.
* Spread worms on social media.
* Install malware on mobile phones.

CSRF attacks are hard to spot as they are disguised as normal user actions.

## Protection

Protecting against CSRF attacks involves **making sure GET requests are side-effects free** and ensuring that non-GET requests can only be originated from your client-side code.

### REST

REST (Representation State Transfer) is a series of design principles that assign certain types of action (view, create, delete, update) to different HTTP verbs.
REST insists that GET request are used only to view resources, keeping them side-effect free.

### Anti-forgery tokens

POST requests can still be sent to your site from scripts and pages hosted on other domains. To ensure you're handling valid HTTP requests, you need to include a **secret** and **unique** token with each HTTP response and have the server verify the token when passed back in next requests that use the POST method.

**Anti-forgery tokens are typically random numbers stored in a cookie or on the server as they are written ou to a hidden HTML field. If the values attached to the inbound request and the one stored in the cookie are identical, the server will accept the HTTP request.**

### Ensure Cookies are sent with the SameSite attribute

```
Set-Cookie: CookieName=CookieValue; SameSite = Lax;
Set-Cookie: CookieName=CookieValue; SameSite = Strict;
```

`Strict` is the most secure. It means any request initiated by 3rd party domains to your domain will have cookies stripped by the browser.

`Lax` allows requests from third-party domains to your domain to have cookies attached, but ONLY for GET requests.
