Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) and Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) are ready for war in third episode of the final season of "Game of Thrones" Courtesy of HBO
Game of Thrones cinematographer Fabian Wagner says there's a reason some fans found Sunday night's episode of the HBO drama too tinted for easy viewing — your TV.
"A lot of the problem is that a lot of people don't know how to tune their TVs properly," Wagner told Wired U.K. "A lot of people also unfortunately watch it on small iPads, which in no way can do justice to a show like that anyway."
Wagner added that showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss wanted Season 8's third episode titled "The Long Night" to be darkly hued, for a certain effect.
"The showrunners decided that this had to be a dark episode," he said. "We'd seen so many battle scenes over the years – to make it truly impactful and to care for the characters, you have to find a unique way of portraying the story."
In another interview, this time with TMZ, Wagner noted that the series "has always been very dark and a very cinematic show," adding that it should be watched in an environment with dim lighting.
As for fans who lit up social media with complaints about the episode being too difficult to figure out what was going on, Wagner disagreed.
"We tried to give the viewers and fans a cool episode to watch," he said. "I know it wasn't too dark because I shot it."

While many authors are trying their luck at e-publishing, either completely on their own or with the help of a Web-based publishing service, fewer of these intrepid souls may be skilled in what it means to market their work. Indeed, the same dilemma faces consultants and independent contractors, who must 1) do the work they are paid for and 2) market and promote their consulting business. What is more, successful marketing requires special knowledge of the target audience to gain traction and garner attention. My favorite example of this comes not from the trenches of capitalism but from Broadway. The celebrated musical The Music Man begins with a group of sales people on a train, chanting their market tips in time with the clicking rails. Keeping perfect time, one of the sales guys calls out, "But ya gotta know the territory!" more than once.
The territory of self-publishing authors is a tough one to learn. Even now, several years into the era of the e-book, it often seems like the best marketing coup an author can hope for is to be discovered by a mainline publisher and to pick up a contract. Several popular authors have made their fame and fortune from just this sort of process.
Authors, take note: entrepreneurs have you in their marketing gun-sights. On April 9, 2013 The San Francisco Chronicle profile a new Houston-based startup called Kbuuk (don't ask…OK. "K" is for cloud and "buuk" is for…well, Fritz Lanham at the Chronicle figured it out from there; see SFC, April 9, 2013, p. D1).
Kbuuk can convert a Word manuscript into a e-book, and host it on its own distinctive web site within the Amazon Cloud ecosystem, in Amazon itself, and on Kobo's and Barnes and Noble's platforms. This reduces costs (and gives Kbuuk a 20 percent margin). Kbuuk creates marketing "value" by crafting a Web presence that will grab the attention of readers.
Sounds great! But–in addition to "knowing the territory" you must have a quality product to bring in the sheaves of fame and fortune. No shortcuts there.
Anyway, it works like this. If you, the reader are being charged $1.99, your expectations are lower, and you might be more willing to buy something. Amazon's Kindle store (as well as The New York Times) give ample proof of this new e-sub-market. Famous authors are now publishing novellas, short stories and excerpts at very low prices. This low-cost come-on, in my opinion, may be deepening the e-book market by giving readers affordable options, using the hook-power of name recognition.
For those without name recognition in place, the marketing work must continue. Perhaps startups like Kbuuk will make that work a bit easier for aspiring authors.

Kwinkwerema lub pentera (łac. quinquerēmis [navis]; stgr. πεντήρης pentērēs) – rzymska galera o kilku rzędach wioseł, w okresie republiki najczęściej używany typ okrętu wojennego.

Była to rzymska wersja rozpowszechnionego w czasach hellenistycznych wojennego kilkurzędowca, którego pomysł konstrukcji przypisuje się syrakuzańskiemu tyranowi Dionizjuszowi Starszemu toczącemu wówczas walki z Kartaginą. Od sycylijskich Greków przejęty przez Kartagińczyków, został następnie podczas pierwszej wojny punickiej masowo skopiowany przez Rzymian na podstawie znalezionego wraku nieprzyjacielskiego okrętu.

Typowa ich kwinkwerema miała długość 37 m przy szerokości kadłuba 4 m i głębokości zanurzenia 1,2 m. Według Polibiusza (Dzieje I 26, 7) załogę kwinkweremy stanowiło 300 wioślarzy i 120 żołnierzy. W porównaniu z mniej doskonałą triremą o podobnych wymiarach (obsadzoną przez 200 ludzi załogi, w tym 170 wioślarzy), nieporozumienia i kontrowersje wzbudzało faktyczne rozmieszczenie wioślarzy w kilku (3-5) rzędach (poziomach) oraz liczba obsługujących jedno wiosło. Udowodniono, że przy pięciu rzędach wioseł na burcie, w praktyce znacznie zakłócona byłaby sterowność takiej jednostki ze względu na niemożność synchronizacji ruchów obsługi. Brak również świadectw ikonograficznych i archeologicznych dla istnienia takiego rzymskiego pięciorzędowca. Obecnie przyjmuje się, że faktycznie trójrzędowa kwinkwerema mogła mieć po 2 wioślarzy przy wiośle na dwóch wyższych poziomach i po jednym w najniższym rzędzie wioseł. Według odpowiednich wyliczeń załogę okrętu stanowiło zatem 112 wioślarzy w górnym rzędzie, 108 – w środkowym i 50 w dolnym oraz 30 marynarzy do obsługi takielunku, a ponadto 40 żołnierzy w czasie pokoju i 120 w stanie wojennym. Według innego schematu rozmieszczenia, na kwinkweremie liczącej 270 wioślarzy (na 300 członków załogi) i wyposażonej w 158 wioseł, poziom najwyższy miałby 58 wioseł z dwuosobową obsługą, średni – 54 dwuosobowe, a najniższy – 46 wioseł jednoosobowych.

Spiced Fruit Compote is impressively healthy and deceptively sweet. Tasting luxurious, it makes a great healthier breakfast choice when paired with yoghurt or porridge. Stash some in the fridge and indulge, guilt free, all week long.
Hmm. I seem to have found myself a comfy fence on which to park my behind. You might recall that last week I ran through my top ten recipes from 2016, which revealed that my bakes and cocktails were way more popular than my healthy offerings last year. That discovery kind of blew my plans to share some more virtuous recipes in January right out of the water. But, since it's less than 2 weeks since I packed away the leftover Christmas chocolates it just seems plain wrong for me to wilfully lead you away from your best of intentions for January quite yet (I'll do that next week).
That left me with a dilemma. Should I be healthy or give in to popular demand. I couldn't decide and that's why I'm on the fence.
As a compromise, I'm handing you my Spiced Winter Fruit Compote. It is both a little bit virtuous and a teeny-tiny bit naughty.
This Spiced Fruit Compote just about classes as healthy fodder in my book due to the abundance of fresh and dried fruits involved. And I've kept the refined sugar to a minimum. Into the mix I've added a selection of lovely spices that marry well with the fruits. Oh, and I've steeped the whole lot in Earl Grey Tea – just for good measure.
What evolves is a sweet, yet tart blend that tastes far superior than the word compote could ever suggest. The subtle sweetness from the pears and prunes offsets the tart apples, apricots and cranberries wonderfully. The tea and spices impart a homely, comforting and seasonal boost to the fruity flavours.
I'll be honest; this Spiced Fruit Compote tends to appear on my breakfast table during the Christmas period. That's partly because it's exceptionally tasty, feels luxurious and is a real favourite with kids and adults alike. But it's also a sneaky way for me to get some wholesome goodness into my family in between the endless sausage roll and mince-pie munching.
On that train of thought it seems like the perfect solution to my recipe quandary. I give you something (almost) healthy, but you get something sweet and gloriously satisfying. We're all winners.
One of the things I like best about all fruit compotes is their versatility. You can chop and change the fruits and spices (within reason) to tailor the mix to your personal preferences. And you get to serve it how you like – there's no right or wrong. My personal preference is to serve this Spiced Fruit Compote with unsweetened Greek yoghurt at breakfast time with a spoonful or two of the gorgeous amber poaching liquid dribbled on top.
An you don't just have to save it for breakfast time. A bowl of Spiced Fruit Compote makes a great finale to supper any day of the week. But if you're feeling indulgent pair it with cream, custard, ice-cream or (gasp) meringue.
I love this! Not only is this healthy, but it sounds wonderful!
Thanks Miranda – not a bad way to start the year.

Who are you the most excited for?
By Ally Tucker | April 3, 2012 | 8:00pm | 47
When the final seconds ticked away last night in the Superdome, I had trouble choosing which player I wanted to watch. My eyes were drawn to a leaping Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. But then I wanted to find Darius Miller, our hometown Kentucky boy, our beloved senior. Then I had had to find Coach Cal. Where was he? What was his reaction? And how about Terrence Jones? A player who has had his ups and downs at Kentucky. A player who decided to return in part to chase a national championship that escaped him just twelve months earlier. And then another part of me just wanted to personally soak up the moment, trying to put it into perspective as a lifelong, die-hard Kentucky fan.
When the dust settled upon an evening for the ages, I started to debate who exactly I felt the most excited for following Kentucky's 8th national championship. In a season full of stories, on a team full of likable personalities, with a fan base oozing with passion and love for their program, who are you the most excited for?
John Calipari?
Talk about a coach who has, for lack of a better term, had a monkey on his back for years now. Calipari has continually pieced together teams with enough talent to find themselves squarely in the conversation for a national title. He has had one team a few made free throws away from a title in Memphis. He's had a team one off shooting night away from a Final Four and potential national championship. And he's had one team a Kemba Walker away from a national title birth. Add to all of those near misses a slew of national writers seemingly hung up on the fact that Calipari had yet to win a national title doing it "his way."
Even more so than proving any doubters wrong, Calipari has done so much for so many young men who have come through his program. The love, mixed with structure, stability and opportunity that he offers to his players often gets overlooked. He promises very little to them in the way of playing time guarantees before they arrive on campus, but he does promise them that he will always put them first. And he does. Time and time again. He has helped players reach their dreams of playing in the NBA. He has changed the lives of, and opened doors for players such as Josh Harrellson and DeAndre Liggins, that very few ever thought possible. He has been coaching for over 20 years now. For the coach who says he doesn't need these type of things, he got his championship. He will deflect all of it on his players, to his athletic department, to his coaching staff, to the fans. But if you saw his face when he walked into Rupp Arena and stood in front of that crowd, after driving through the city from the airport being greeted by thousands of fans, it meant something to him.
Or Darius Miller?
Darius Miller has been through as much as any Kentucky player I can remember. He came in during a time of great turmoil, experiencing some of the lowest lows since the program's probation. He adjusted to a new coach, a coach he did not get recruited by to come to Kentucky. He surpassed many people's expectations by carving out a role for himself on each and every loaded John Calipari team in his final 3 years at Kentucky. And in perhaps the greatest sacrifice of all, Darius Miller, essentially a 3-year starter, came off the bench for the majority of his senior year. Granted, he played starter minutes, but he sacrificed one of the things every player aims for: a spot in the starting line-up.
He could have found himself resenting some of the younger players who were starting over him, such as freshman phenom Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Instead, according to every player interview I've heard in the past month, Darius Miller took on the role of big brother to these young players. They all gush about him. They look up to him. They value him. They love him. For a guy who grew up in Kentucky, chose to stay home and wear a Kentucky jersey–during a time when it wasn't the most popular choice, the culmination of a career ending with a national title is about as picture perfect as it comes.
Or Michael Kidd-Gilchrist?
We're talking about a kid who lost his father at an extremely young age. We're talking about a kid whose uncle passed away on the day he signed his letter of intent for the University of Kentucky. That was supposed to be one of the happiest days of his life. Instead, it was marked by tragedy. We're talking about the kid who added his uncle's last name to the back of his jersey to honor him when he got to the University of Kentucky. We're talking about a kid who played harder every single minute of every single game and practice than any player to ever don the Kentucky uniform before him. We're talking about a player who wanted to do more for his team when he didn't have the ball in his hand than when he did. We're talking about a teammate who re-defined what being a good teammate meant, by starting a Breakfast Club to bond the team, who asked his coach to let his teammate start over him in the SEC Championship game. We're talking about a player who lit up an entire state with a simple smile. Who isn't happy for that kid, who played and acts like more of a man than many people years older than him?
Or Terrence Jones? A player who re-wrote his legacy as a Kentucky basketball player throughout this season, going from a player who often left fans frustrated to a player who sacrificed individual accolades and shot attempts to make his team better. Or Doron Lamb? He didn't have to come back. He didn't have to agree to be an option on the offensive end of the court rather than a priority. Or Marquis Teague? He was chastised as hard as any freshman in recent memory during the first month of the season. He was questioned, analyzed, scrutinized, doubted, etc. He dug down deep. He changed the way he went about his business. He became coachable. He became the catalyst for the offense rather than the key cog. He became a leader. He became the first in Calipari's long line of storied point guards to become a national champion. Re-read that. Derrick Rose. Tyreke Evans. John Wall. Brandon Knight. All great point guards, some even brilliant. But Marquis Teague is the only national champion. Or how about Anthony Davis? I'm almost done with this blog entry and I haven't even mentioned the National Player of the Year. Yeah, how about that guy?
Or the fans? How about the fans? What about the 90 year old fans who have lived through Adolp Rupp, Joe B. Hall, Rick Pitino, Tubby Smith, John Calipari and a few other coaches? What about the fans who spend their last dime, saving for an entire year, to follow Kentucky to the SEC tournament or the Sweet 16 or the Final Four. What about the college students who sit in lines for hours to obtain student tickets for the Erupption Zone? What about the young fans, who are just now falling in love with Kentucky basketball? The ones who have only been told of the rich history, but have just now for the first time experienced the pinnacle.
What if it doesn't really matter who you are most excited for? What if, just like with this team and who has the ball in their hands taking the last shot, it doesn't really matter? What if, just like with this team, it's about every single person? We've all made a sacrifice in our lives at some point for Kentucky basketball. Maybe we've called in sick for a Thursday afternoon NCAA first round tournament game. Maybe we've passed up a trip to Florida to go to Nashville for a SEC tournament instead. Maybe we've stood in lines for hours just to get a championship t-shirt, even if it's a triple X-Large. Calipari said it time and time again in the wake of this national championship: "They've all sacrificed for each other." We all have.
So really, we don't have to decide who we are the most excited for following this national championship. It's exciting for everyone involved. And that is exactly how it should be.

Darius Miller. It's not even @#%&ing close.
Skeps
I'm most excited for me.
#3 You said what I was thinking
steve erwin
darius, definitely
darius miller, duh. he's such a great guy, can't let him go that easily
JimR
Team. Team! Team! That's what this was.
Jones is my choice. He was a lock to go in the lottery but came back this year. He took a lot less shots this year and did not seem to mind that Davis was getting most of the spotlight all year. He always defended the other teams strongest interior player, allowing Davis to roam around and block shots.
NDCat
Did you seriously ask this question? It's gotta be Darius, after all he's been through. Plus, he's the hometown boy. He's the only one who grew up on the legends of the Comeback Cats, the Unbelievables, the Unforgettables, and the Untouchables. It's -all- for Darius Miller. As number 2 said, "It's not even @#%&ing close.
Vargas is my choice…..he got a great education…..watched some great BB….and didn't have to do much to indulge.Seriously, very happy for all of them but probably most for coach.
NKY_UK_fan
Darius Miller because he had to put up with Gillispie. It was funny watching the post game presser when Matt Jones asked him about his Freshman year to now and you could hear the guys chuckling. Most likely because Darius told them how much it sucked.
Second would be T. Jones. Not really sure why. It just seems like he's had a big weight on his shoulders. Maybe, it's because of all the stuff he's got from Coach Cal even though it was most likely deserved.
00BBN00
Personally, when I realized KU wasn't going to foul again I was jumping up and down and didn't even notice the kids celebrating on TV. That being said, I'm probably happiest for BBN as a whole.
Dent44
Happy for all the kids. They displayed great class and poise thoughout the season. Charles Barkley might not be a role model, but this group of young men ceratinly have been. Very proud to a member of the BBN today!
Hopefully I'm just reading too much into this, but…yesterday, the day the Cats played for (and won) a national championship, Nerlens Noel made no reference to the game on his Twitter account. However, He did ask if anyone has heard whether or not Fab Melo declared for the draft yet.
Miller. Clyde put him through hell
geteight
who effin cares?! Be happy for all of em. #gr8ness
Briar Gates
This was as fun a team to watch as I can remember. Miller is my favorite. The only Clyde survivor. He deserves a state wide holiday named after him.
TampaCat
Team, Cal, BBN, Lexington. In that order.
Question: Why does the championship tee with the 8 on it have an asterisk in the top right corner? Anyone?
BrowingDown All Over The Place
The fact these players will be making millions of dollars in their first two years (more money than their fans will make their lifetime) doesnt have me thinking they deserve the championship over anyone else. Its because of Calipari they are here and won. They are talented and could have went anywhere else, but Calipari is a good enough coach for one to think he would eventually get there and win one with any talented players. I feel for his legacy and for the state of KY its better for him to have won it than for Darius or any other player on this team. IF Calipari wasnt signed on as our coach 3 years ago, Darius may not have blossomed into the player he is now. He has played around future greats, like Wall, Cousins, Davis, MKG, etc. So for that I cant be happier for him than for anyone else.
IF we lost the game, we would hear negative talks more about Calipari than about the players (and how the one and done system is flawed). The players still would go to the NBA but Calipari would still be here making significantly less. He now has no pressure and can coach without that. Players are leaving regardless of winning so I am happier for Calipari.
for bobby knight- SUCK IT!!!
Retire Darius's jersey! He has been amazing to this program, he and his family are amazing people who deserve to go down in Big Blue history with his name in the rafters.
Here's to you Darius! Thanks for being absolutely amazing all these years!
Well, you don't have to be 90 to remember the Rupp era. I'm merely pushing 70, and I cherish the memory, when I was a UK student, of sitting alone in his office with Coach Rupp and eating a slice of his birthday cake. Rupp is a legend, but Coach Cal is the real deal, too. Never, though, though all the years of following the Cats, do I recall more of a true team concept than shown this year. Most coaches ask players to step up and become a team player; Coach Cal persuaded prep standouts to step back and become team players — a masterful job of coaching.
The beauty of this grand year is that we can feast on articles on TV, newspapers, magazines, but also stay up all night log visiting web sites like Kentucky Sport Radio. I can't get enough of it. KSR's immense bag of goodies for those of us who ravenously devour every scrap of information is a terrific team effort, too, and I am immensely grateful for the content and coverage. KSR is my first and last stop, before and after the games.
Like the TV commercial, we extended March: It's March 34th and we're Won and Done! Thanks, Cal! Thanks, Cats! Thanks, KSR! Thanks, team! It's been a wonderful ride.
the 8 with asterisk signifies the words on the back that also have an asterisk. if there was just an 8 on the front it would look like a number on a jersey rather than signifying 8 championships. Though you can interpret it as a mock for cheating but thats because we have heard that rumor before.
This same team would have won with any other coach probably so I am happier for Cal
All of them.This was a true TEAM effort.One no more important than the other.I hear people say this one or that one was the key.I think they all were the key.They all played their role which allowed their other teammates to play theirs.I believe if one hadn't have bought in last night wouldn't have happened.Enjoy people we will win more but I don't think we will ever see anther group like this one!
#25 I disagree I don't think many coaches could have handled all those egos.The reason we got 8 was effort and defense.The first player who focused on me instead of we could have blown the whole thing.We need look no farther then team turmoil.That team was very talented and let egos and selfishness destroy it.Cal did a wonderful job maybe his best.
Bham
Love that pic. As I was watching that moment last night it really showed me how close those 2 are. They embraced for a long time. I'm equally happy for everyone including the bench which I would die to be a part of. #BBN forever
GogoCats
The whole team. Maybe Twany can compare rings with stansberry.
Darius has always been my favorite. Really gonna miss him
Harlan, Ky
Im happiest for BBN. The fans sacrifice so much in their lives for the team. Cal is next.
Awesome post. For me it is Darius, but everyone else is tied for a very, very close second. Congrats to OUR beloved Cats.
Phs_Hound
Happiest for Darius Miller. He's the type of home-grown Kentucky kid that Pitino always said was so important to the UK program. Who will be our next Darius Miller?

Cal deserves the credit for selling these players on the concept of being a team. Also, he was either brilliant or lucky enough to get the right individuals to accomplish this. However, it's got to be our home state hero who stuck it out through the worst times in recent memory to lead us to #8— Darius Miller.

Cal because he made it about the kids and not him. Second is the team. Can't pick a player because they are a unit. They operated as one all season and I am happy for them as one.

ALLY TUCKER….. Very nice writing. I think you killed it. I am very impressed. You almost brought me to tears a couple of times. Just wanted you to know that this is one of the better pieces I have read on this site (which is a huge compliment).
Darius was the one I was looking for. He was already walking in high cotton before last night; now he is a legend.

19 – The asterisk represents a change that has taken place. (for example it would have been a 7 the other night but since that has been changed, the asterisk represents the update)
happy for the whole team, but especially happy for darius because he has been a true Kentucky boy the entire way
I hate knight
Good call #22, Darius is a Kentucky kid, Mr. Basketball, he stuck with the Big Blue thru good and bad, he is a true leader, and he always represented the University in the best way, retire his number and put his jersey up with there with the best !!

Clutcharius. he went from john g and the nit to playing with one and done freshman over shadowing his role on the team. He scored over 1000 points and he finally figured out what his role could be for the team

Darius Miller. Glad that Cal pointed out yesterday that Darius was the first KY boy to win Mr. Basketball, State, and National Championships. Plus having to endure BCG! Darius has become one of my all-time faves.
John Calipari gets my vote above all, but when it comes to the players, how can you pick one above the other. Those preseason comments by Davis, Gilly, Teague and Wiltjer saying they are coming here to win a championship. How can that be topped? It can be equally stated by Miller, Lamb and Jones that they are staying at Kentucky to win it all.
It's a collective effort by all on this yeam to create the perfect recipe invented by John Calipari.
CatBlue in LR
Kid grew up right before our eyes, and we wouldn't have gotten there if he hadn't come back. I'm so proud of him.
I'm most excited for Miller. He was the leading senior. He grew up an hour from Lexington and it's always been his dream to play for Kentucky. His freshman year, he had to deal with Gilespie and he still stuck with us for 4 years through thick and thin. This one was for him, he deserved it!!!!


What is the secret to corn's incredible versatility? It starts when the kernel is separated into its component parts – starch, protein, oil and fiber – which are then turned into corn products including cornstarch, corn oil, sweeteners, advanced bioproducts, protein and animal feed.
CRA's new logo captures the kernel's amazing journey. The logo starts with two different shades of green, designed to evoke the leaves of the corn plant and also to reinforce the sustainability of corn products, and thus the benefit to the environment.
Together, the two shades of green form a square box that surrounds a single, yellow kernel – symbolic for the idea that corn products are often the product within the product – rarely seen, but essential.
Finally, at the center of the logo is a single kernel, colored in different shades of yellow and white, emphasizing that dent corn is different than the sweet corn that we eat, and also representing the different component parts of the kernel.
CRA also redesigned its website, www.corn.org, to put the spotlight on issue advocacy and the industry's economic impact. Among the new features is a section called the Kernel of Innovation, a page focused on education. The new, cleaner, responsive design also allows the website to function across devices.

Bill Tracking, Additional Documents Chamber Status
An Act To Exempt from Taxation Certain Out-of-state Pensions
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 36 MRSA §5122, sub-§2, ¶PP is enacted to read:
PP. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, to the extent included in federal adjusted gross income, an amount equal to the amount of the taxpayer's contribution to a pension plan. This paragraph does not apply to amounts deducted under paragraph M-1 or to a taxpayer who does not meet the requirements of subparagraph (1).
(1) The subtraction allowed pursuant to this paragraph is permitted only for a taxpayer who:
(a) Made all of the contributions to the pension plan while residing in another jurisdiction that allows a similar modification by a former resident of this State for contributions made to a pension plan while a resident of this State; and
(b) Paid income taxes on the amount contributed to the pension plan.
(2) As used in this paragraph, unless the context otherwise indicates, the following terms have the following meanings.
(a) "Another jurisdiction" means another state or territory of the United States, a political subdivision of such a state or territory and the District of Columbia.
(b) "Contribution" means the total amount paid by a taxpayer to a pension plan divided by the life expectancy of that member, as determined by the United States Social Security Administration.
(c) "Employee retirement plan" has the same meaning as in paragraph M-1.
(d) "Individual retirement account" has the same meaning as in paragraph M-1.
(e) "Pension plan" means an employee retirement plan or an individual retirement account.
This bill exempts from Maine income tax certain income from out-of-state pensions in order to avoid double taxation of that income. The exemption is only for the amount of the contribution made by the taxpayer divided by the life expectancy of the taxpayer and applies only if the income is included in federal adjusted gross income and not deducted under the general pension deduction.
In order to qualify for the exemption, the contribution must have been made using income on which income tax was paid and is available only if the state in which the taxpayer resided at the time of the contribution provides a similar exemption to a former resident of Maine.

Today Laura and I parted ways. She had to go back to work in Seattle, and I continued on the Camino. We headed back over the bridge in Najera, past the park where the festivities took place the night before.
The route continued on through the town of Najera, alongside a paved hiway, through vinyards, and up a hill to a group of soviet style government built apartments, apparently empty. There are parks, a pool, and tennis court, and I heard it was now a summer resort town for city people. It was totally not endearing, totally hot and shadeless. I stayed in a B and B, and found food at a local bar. I could not wait to get out of that dead town. It has nothing to offer visually or culturally, as far as I could tell.


Honest, objective, and informed political debates are all too rare in today's polarized and partisan climate. Public policy is increasingly driven by ideology while political spin, distortions, and even demonizing opponents by disseminating outright lies are routine practice from Washington to the local city council. Super-heated and hyper-partisan rhetoric, increasingly homogeneous political and ideological communities, and the public's spotty knowledge about our political system all undermine informed and considered responses to policy debates.
This book identifies common areas of confusion or misunderstanding about our political system—clarifying many distortions of accepted history, constitutional law, economics, and science—to help readers distinguish documented facts from the different conclusions and interpretations that may be drawn from those facts. Sheila Suess Kennedy aims to create a more informed electorate and to better ground debates in fact, from Capitol Hill to the family dinner table. Talking Politics? What You Need to Know before Opening Your Mouth provides a solid starting point from which Americans can build more persuasive arguments for their preferred policies, whatever they may be, and will interest students of political science, civics, and history, from high school to undergraduates, and the general public interested in politics and informed discussion.
Sheila Suess Kennedy is a professor of law and public policy at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and director of the Center for Civic Literacy at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). She is the author of several books, including American Public Services: Constitutional and Ethical Foundations and Distrust American Style.


Wine and food as far as the eye can see. Not exactly a Paleo-friendly place, but we'll make the most of it.
Let me just clarify at the outset — I love these kinds of events. Being Paleo-minded doesn't mean that you've got to be an anti-social curmudgeon; far from it. Being Paleo just means that you've got to be smart and pick and choose (your poisons) wisely.
Ok, so where exactly does wine and beer — and alcohol in general, for that matter — fit in to the whole Paleo lifestyle? Well, my thumbrule for wine is this: the drier the better. A drier wine means a greater alcohol content and, therefore, a corresponding lower carbohydrate content. Simple as that. And I like keeping things simple, as it keeps my tiny mind from becoming overly cluttered. Here's a little more information on the subject, if you're curious. But really, if you enjoy wine, just do what I do — go dry, go moderate and go mingle (you'll drink less if your yap is otherwise engaged). And by all means, if you're going to imbibe from time to time, you might as well enjoy it!
Apparently these good folks rushed to the aid of the many over-burdened pancreases, the wailings of which could be heard emanating from deep within the halls of the convention center. Don't worry folks, they're from the (Republican!) government, and they're here to help.
Seriously though, we walked out of the convention center at the conclusion of the tasting, and right smack-dab into a mini political rally being held in the parking lot. Sadly, though, there were no Libertarians anywhere in sight. I guess I'm the only Libertarian left who hasn't already slit his wrists this election cycle.
Young Fascists…er, Republicans. Hey, I'm all for 'em — at least they're engaged and speaking up for what they believe. And with a little time and effort, who knows? Maybe we can eventually bring them into the Libertarian fold.
By the way, I believe that's a mock Russian AK-47 that our young Sarah-cuda wannabe is holding? I'll just leave it be at that. this is a philosophical quagmire that could have me babbling on all night.
Thanks to Chris (condtioning research) I was made aware of your site.
Ha ha, this was helpful!
Love your site. You and Dr.Devanny have gotten me started living like a cave man, and I love it!!
Glad you've found the caveman life — and that it's agreeable to you.

Led by Senator Joan Huffman, the conferees considering SB 219, the Ethics Commission Sunset legislation, cut out major provisions of the reform bill that had been added in the House earlier in the week by huge margins.
"Behind closed doors the conferees mounted a strategic assault on transparency," said Craig McDonald, director of Texans for Public Justice. "The stage was set to make significant progress on ethics and open-government reform. The true nature of the politicians reared its head at the last minute. Politicians can't be trusted to clean-up politics."

4500 Miles From Home
Nine teenagers embark on a three-week service trip in the Alaskan backcountry.
by Mikal E. Belicove , in collaboration with the crimson brand studio
A change in circumstance, environment or routine can create apprehension in the most fearless of individuals. And that's especially true for the nine North Carolina teenagers raised in low-income families who recently participated in an intense, three-week wilderness-based, service-learning program, 4,500 miles from home.
Before heading off for the Alaskan backcountry this past summer, the teenagers—several chronically homeless and impoverished according to Federal guidelines—were asked to describe fears they had regarding the upcoming outdoor adventure.
Before heading off for the Alaskan backcountry this past summer, the teenagers were asked to describe fears they had regarding the upcoming outdoor adventure.
Each of these youngsters has been enrolled in a years-long North Carolina-based experiential education program called Education Without Walls. Which means they all have some experience in pitching a tent, building a campfire and keeping food out of the reach of bears.
Embracing Dark Thoughts
But the thought of trekking hundreds of miles deep in the wilds of Alaska did present some concerns. In an on-camera interview before the trip, one participant said he was afraid he might wake up some morning and find himself sharing his sleeping bag with a snake. Another mentally explored the specter of darkness on the trail. Pitch-black, wilderness darkness. An "I've a feeling we're not in North Carolina anymore" kind of darkness.
Quenton Bowman, a 16-year-old student at New Hanover High School in Wilmington, N.C., faced the camera lens wearing shorts, a hoodie and a brave smile. "What I fear is not coming back a changed man," Quenton said.

The smile faded just a bit and the teen dropped his eyes to the ground. "Because I don't like who I am today." The grin returned, and the boy looked back at the camera. "That's just not the person I want to be."
Finding Light in the Backcountry
Quenton and his teenage traveling companions are among a nationwide population of "disenfranchised youth" who find themselves homeless or living at or below the Federal Poverty Level. Joining Quenton on the 21-day excursion was Jack Conseco, another 16-year-old who attends New Hanover High School in Wilmington. Jack worried that he wouldn't be able to keep up with the other nine students.
"I'm afraid I might not be able to pull my weight. I'm afraid the terrain may be too rough." Then with a shrug he said, "I just want to put forth the best of my efforts."

The Alaskan trip upon which these young people were about to embark was coordinated by The National Center for Outdoor & Adventure Education (NCOAE), a not-for-profit Wilmington, N.C.-based outdoor experiential education organization that, among other projects, mentors teens through its Education Without Walls program.
Education Without Walls is NCOAE's flagship program for disadvantaged youth, offering those who qualify the chance to make new friends, acquire new skills, and learn about themselves.
Education Without Walls is NCOAE's flagship program for disadvantaged youth, offering those who qualify the chance to make new friends, acquire new skills, and learn about themselves—all while experiencing a series of outdoor adventures that are skillfully facilitated by NCOAE's instructors and field staff.
Training Required
Such trips are planned and guided by NCOAE-trained outdoor educators—often college students the organization prepares through semester and Gap year outdoor educator programs; extensive training that prepares these men and women to assume a variety of backcountry guide, instructor and administrator positions in outdoor and experiential education programs across the nation.
These instructors then accompany groups to dozens of outdoor "classrooms," which are found in exotic locales, including wilderness areas in Patagonia, the Pacific Northwest, East Africa, the Himalayas, North Carolina and Alaska.
One of the organization's objectives is to train educators who can then instill critical thinking, and facilitate the improvement of interpersonal relationships and civic and environmental responsibility, in their students through an impressive assortment of outdoor and wilderness adventures, all of which are influenced by NCOAE's curriculum and practices, which have been accredited by the Association for Experiential Education.
Welcome to Alaska
In the case of the recent Alaska trip, NCOAE received a $25,000 challenge grant from the National Park Service to take nine local youngsters—all between the ages of 16 and 18—to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve in south central Alaska over the summer break from school.
At 13.2 million acres, this national park is the largest in the United States, as well as the largest wilderness area in the National Wilderness Preservation System. In addition, Wrangell-St. Elias contains nine of the 16 highest peaks in the country. That's a large classroom.
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, South Central Alaska
In this formidable, yet pristine, setting, NCOAE field instructors and their young charges worked side-by-side with National Park Service archeologists to repair trails and remove brush and woody debris from within the abandoned Chititu mining village. During their 21-day expedition, the North Carolina teens pitched in as a team to improve the historic mining site, a place where harsh weather and an ever-encroaching forest have eroded crumbling wood structures and features.
Instructing to the Benefits of 'Wild Places'
Among the NCOAE instructors leading the Alaskan adventure was Wes Hawkins, an Alabama native with a love of the wilderness and a deep desire to pass that passion along to youth, "so they can reap the benefits of wild places."
Wes received a degree in outdoor education from Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville, Georgia, and he said that, in many ways, this educational focus prepared him to become a proficient outdoor guide and teacher. "But it wasn't until I started working with NCOAE that I became more confident and skilled as an instructor."
NCOAE field instructor Wesley Hawkins.
He said the center has provided him with some amazing experiences, adding he has also benefitted from several professional instructor development courses that enhanced his skill sets. "My skills in risk assessment, effective communication, lesson planning, and interpersonal development through NCOAE training have served me well, and are just a few areas where my learning can eventually transfer over to another career."
What Wes enjoyed most about the Alaska trip was working alongside the students and the National Park Service in opening up the trail to the Chititu Camp. "Our group cleared three miles of rugged trail using only hand tools, such as hand saws and loppers," Wes said. "I am very grateful to have been privileged to go on such an amazing trip. It was worth it just to witness the growth and teamwork those 10 students exhibited."
The sense of adventure and solitude that the Alaskan backcountry provided was a highlight for all.
The NCOAE field instructor said the sense of adventure and solitude that the Alaskan backcountry provided was a highlight for all. "Being able to see grizzly and black bears in the wild, crossing vast glaciers with views of the second-largest ice fall in the world, and being surrounded by breathtaking views of the Alaskan landscape is something I will always remember and share with others."
Coming Back a Changed Person
His young students echoed Wes' enthusiasm for the outdoor adventure. Remember Quenton Bowman, who feared the trip would provide few rewards? In a video recorded after the teens returned home, Quenton said, "I came back a changed man."
Before the adventure, he said, "I didn't listen to what my parents said, I didn't follow the rules at school, and I was slacking behind at school. This trip gave me time to find myself. I learned critical thinking and leadership."
And Jack Canseco—who was afraid he might not be a solid contributor to the success of the trip—had this to say about the adventure: "At one point, I had to step up and be a leader because at 21 days, you're obviously going to be at somebody's throat." Jack said he took the initiative, "and because of all the skills I learned, it came with ease."
Kristen Winner, another 16-year-old from New Hanover High School, also terms the Alaska adventure a life-changing experience.
"It's made me want to do more with my life, and it made me think anything is possible as long as I put my mind to it. I will never forget the memories we all made and shared as a group, as a team, as a family."
"It's made me want to do more with my life, and it made me think anything is possible as long as I put my mind to it. I will never forget the memories we all made and shared as a group, as a team, as a family."
Kristen said she'd love to return to Alaska, "and share my experience with my family and friends. Alaska was the most beautiful place that I've ever been, and I want others to know about it."

Q: How to modify program to run until a certain key is entered What is the best way to terminate this by entering a specific keyword or letter? Ideally want the program to terminate by entering a key followed by enter
class NestedLoopTable {
    private int start;
    private int end;

    public NestedLoopTable() {
    }

    public NestedLoopTable(int aStart, int aEnd) {
        super();
        start = aStart;
        end = aEnd;
    }

    public void printTable() {
        // looping through the number of rows to print the table
        for (int i = start; i <= end - start + 1; i++) {
            for (int j = start; j <= i; j++)
                System.out.print(j + " ");
            System.out.println();
        }
    }
}

import java.util.Scanner;

public class NestedLoopTableApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Enter start and end");
        int start = sc.nextInt();
        int end = sc.nextInt();

        NestedLoopTable np = new NestedLoopTable(start, end);
        np.printTable();
        sc.close();
    }
}

A: The best way to terminate the program when a specific key was entered would be to check for the key entered, and if it matches the key that will be entered when the program terminates, then run System.exit(0)

A: You need a simple loop in for your program:
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
    while (scanner.hasNext()) {
        int start = 0;
        while (true) {
            System.out.printf("Enter start or %s:\n", EXIT_KEYWORD);

            if(scanner.hasNextInt())
                start = scanner.nextInt();
            else if(scanner.next().equalsIgnoreCase(EXIT_KEYWORD))
                return;
        }

        int end = 0;
        while (true) {
            System.out.printf("Enter end or %s:\n", EXIT_KEYWORD);

            if(scanner.hasNextInt())
                end = scanner.nextInt();
            else if(scanner.next().equalsIgnoreCase(EXIT_KEYWORD))
                return;
        }

        NestedLoopTable np = new NestedLoopTable(start, end);
        np.printTable();
        scanner.close();
    }
}

(Actually this is just a sample code and you can employ other approaches with much cleaner interface and code!)

Here at Team Arrow, sustainability is very important to us.
For Christmas this year, we've decided to send e-cards instead of traditional paper cards, and have donated £1,000 to 'The TOY Project instead'.
'The Toy Project' is a charitable organisation which helps children deal with their grief through play – providing toys for use by organisations involved with child bereavement. They provide toys for children in hospitals and hospices, children in refuge centers, provide toys for schools and nurseries and to vulnerable families.
Every year in the UK over 20,000 children under the age of 18 experience the death of a parent – that is around 60 children and young people bereaved of a mother or father every day. We know that 'The Toy Project' will put our donation to good use over the festive period.

Sun Prairie, WI Gas Leak Explosion Kills One, Injures 12
On July 10, 2018, a gas leak explosion in downtown Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, killed a firefighter and injured twelve others. Of the twelve injured people, 5 were firefighters, one was a police officer, and 7 were civilians. One of the injured firefighters was critically injured.
We Energies, a natural gas provider, said workers for a construction company punctured a 4-inch (10-centimeter) gas main, causing a leak that resulted in the explosion. The blast created four-story flames.
Fire fighters and police officers were at the scene prior to the explosion after the gas main leak was reported. They were in the process of evacuating the area when the leaked gas ignited. These men and women heroically put themselves in harms way to protect the public, and, tragically, one of them died and others were injured.
"Injured people and their families need answers. What precautions could have been taken by the construction company to prevent this tragedy?" said Fred Pritzker, a gas explosion lawyer who recently won a $45 million settlement for a client who suffered burns on over 60% of his body.
Attorney Fred Pritzker can be contacted at 1-888-377-8900 (toll free) or by using the form below.

This is the scene an explosion that our lawyers investigated. Our client was severely burned, and we were hired to determine who was at fault. Attorneys Fred Pritzker and Eric Hageman obtained a multimillion-dollar settlement for the injured man and his wife from a gas company, not We Energies.
In many gas explosion lawsuits, more than one company is at fault. For example, in one of our cases, both a gas company and a business hired by the gas company to do work on a gas line were liable, meaning they were legally responsible for paying for the harm caused by the blast. In that case, which did not involve We Energies, two people died and several others were injured.

Shelly Covert, the spokeswoman for the local Nisenan, sings a song of welcome to kick off the California Arts Council meeting Thursday at the Miners Foundry.
For more information on the Nevada County Arts Council, go to www.nevadacountyarts.org.
Nevada County's art community got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have its collective voice heard Thursday, when the California Arts Council held one of its five annual public meetings at the Miners Foundry.
Close to 140 stakeholders packed the room in a graphic demonstration of just how rich and diverse the arts scene is in Nevada County. Speakers during public comment included Jesse Locks of the Nevada City Film Festival, Amber Jo Manuel from The Center for the Arts, Yuba Lit founder Rachel Howard, Julie Hardin from InConcert Sierra and Amee Medeiros of Neighborhood Center for the Arts.
Many referenced the hard work of Nevada County Arts Council Executive Director Eliza Tudor, who helped spearhead the push to have Truckee, Grass Valley and Nevada City designated as California Cultural Districts and who hosted the meeting in conjunction with the Miners Foundry.
And speak out they did, stretching public comment well into the lunch hour.
Artist Ruth Chase told the council that Tudor was a big help in becoming a working artist in her own community.
In a small town, many artists often feel very removed from the larger art world, she said, adding that for many years she had to seek projects and funding in Los Angeles.
"Conceptual art is not something that usually goes with rural counties — or so I thought," Chase said, referencing a "discouraging" 16-year span of living in Nevada County and not being able to make a living here.
Locks and Michelle Amador, who works for Brooklyn-based Mark Morris Dance Group, highlighted the cultural district as a way to leverage better representation on the statewide and national arts stage.
California Arts Council Vice Chair Larry Baza called the public comment a highlight of the meeting, citing the robust turnout.
After the meeting, Tudor called the council meeting a coup for Nevada County.

Bill Barilko scored a Stanley Cup winning goal - and disappeared shortly after
It was perhaps the greatest goal in the history of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Less than three minutes into overtime in the fifth game of the Stanley Cup final in 1951, Bill Barilko skated in from the blue line and fired a shot past Montreal goalie Gerry McNeil.
With that goal, the Leafs captured their fourth Cup in five years. They had faced down the Habs powerhouse, including Maurice "Rocket" Richard, Doug Harvey and Butch Bouchard.
The goal, on April 21, would be the last one the Timmins native would ever score. In fact, it would be his last time on skates. In August he vanished while flying home from a fishing trip in James Bay, causing a sensation across the country.
By 1991, the Barilko story had pretty much disappeared from the public eye. Then the NHL issued a set of playing cards that included Barilko's famous goal. Kingston singer Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip happened to buy a pack and became entranced by the story on the back of the card – about the goal and Barilko's tragic death.
"The Tragically Hip brought the story to light and introduced it to a whole new generation who would never have known about Bill Barilko otherwise," recalls Kevin Shea of the Hockey Hall of Fame and author of the book Barilko: Without A Trace.
On August 26, 1951, a Timmins dentist, Henry Hudson was flying the plane, with Barilko as passenger, returning from a weekend fishing outing. The plane never made it back to Timmins. A massive search involving 38 RCAF planes failed to find the wreckage.
It was only in June 1962 – just weeks after the Toronto Maple Leafs next Stanley Cup win – that a forestry helicopter pilot happened upon the downed craft and the bodies of Hudson and Barilko were recovered.
Downie's song about Barilko, entitled Fifty-Mission Cap, became a huge hit for the Kingston band. In the lyrics, Downie admits he got the story from the hockey card. "I stole this from a card I keep tucked up under my 50-mission cap."
The title of the song refers to the hats that Second World War bomber pilots were given when they completed 50 missions – a rare feat given the rate at which planes were being shot down. While some have taken it as a reference to Dr. Hudson's relative inexperience in flying, Shea says Downie was just being creative. "He was taking two disparate stories – Barilko and a 50-mission cap he saw at the Smithsonian in Washington. He kind of smashed them together into one song."
During the Second World War, many NHL players enlisted although they were usually kept well away from the front lines. After they started returning following the war, Conn Smythe built a powerhouse in Toronto in the six-team NHL. The Leafs captured the Cup in 1947, 1948, 1949 and 1951, led by goal-scoring wizards like Syl Apps.
Barilko was too young to have served in the war, joining the Leafs in the middle of the 1946-47 season at the age of 20. He was known for his strong defensive skills and punishing bodychecks – which earned him the nickname Bashin' Bill. "It was just like running into an anvil," recalls teammate Howie Meeker, who would go on to work as an analyst with Hockey Night in Canada.
Barilko was a key player – but not a star – in the first three Cup wins. The 1951 finals would launch him to nationwide fame. During the regular season, his lacklustre play had almost seen him demoted to the American Hockey League. However, he made it up in the series against Montreal.
It was the only final series in NHL history to see every game decided in overtime. In overtime in the first game, Barilko dove across the goalmouth to block a shot by Richard, preventing a certain goal. Toronto went on to win and then to build a 3-1 series lead.
In the fifth game, down 2-1 in the final minutes, the Leafs pulled the goalie and managed to earn a tie to send the match into yet another overtime.
Coach Joe Primeau gave clear instructions to Barilko. "He told him 'don't you dare take any chances.' He didn't want Richard or any of the other Montreal stars getting the puck and scoring on a breakaway," Shea says.
Less than three minutes into overtime, Barilko saw an opportunity - and ignored his orders. A pass from behind the net by Howie Meeker deflected off a skate and came out to the faceoff circle. Barilko rushed in from the blue line, firing a shot past a slumping goaltender McNeil.
Photographer Nat Turofsky captured the moment, with Barilko flying through the air and McNeil falling as the puck goes in behind him. It would be the most famous Stanley Cup-winning goal photo in the history of the league, only later eclipsed by Bobby Orr's flight in 1970.
Barilko had risked being the goat by leaving the blueline. Instead, he was the hero. "Bashin' Bill Barilko's Blow Kills Canadiens," bragged the Toronto Star headline.
That summer, Hudson invited Barilko to fly north from Timmins to James Bay for a fishing trip. Barilko didn't even like eating fish – but he loved fishing. The two set off on Friday, August 24, 1951, an end-of-summer outing for Barilko before training camp started.
Initially, the trip went well. The pair had caught an estimated 150 pounds of fish – a giant haul that would unfortunately dangerously weigh down the aircraft on the return flight on Sunday. Dr. Hudson was warned that a storm was coming but chose to press on.
"Hudson was an experienced pilot but took chances just like Barilko did on the ice that night," Shea says. "He rolled the dice more often than he probably should have."
When the plane failed to arrive on time, a huge rescue operation was launched. Several Leafs players took part, although they soon had to return for training camp. Shea says the disappearance took a big psychological toll on the team. Barilko was a major contributor both on and off the ice, often organizing informal social outings.
"All of a sudden, they've lost their heart," Shea says.
The Leafs went into a slump that would last a decade. Finally, a new crop of stars, including Frank Mahovlich and Dave Keon, would capture the cup in 1962. Just weeks later, a sharp-eyed helicopter pilot discovered the wreckage of the Hudson plane in Northern Ontario.
Would Bill Barilko have been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame had he lived and completed his career? Teammate Teeder Kennedy, himself an inductee, was certain that Barilko merited the honour. Shea is unsure. Nevertheless, Shea is confident that Barilko's legacy will live on for decades to come, thanks to an incredible Stanley Cup-winning goal and a rock band from Kingston.

Texas, Alabama, South Dakota, Virginia and Michigan already have such laws in place.
TOPEKA, Kan. — State lawmakers in Oklahoma and Kansas have approved legislation to grant legal protections to faith-based adoption agencies that cite their religious beliefs for not placing children in LGBTQ homes.
Supporters of such measures argued that the core issue is protecting a group's right to live out its religious faith, while critics saw them as attacks on LGBTQ rights. Both Oklahoma and Kansas have GOP-controlled legislatures and governors, but in Kansas, the proposal split Republicans.
LGBTQ-rights advocates argue that enacting such a law would sanction discrimination and support it with taxpayer dollars.
Ross said for LGBTQ families looking to adopt, it isn't always obvious which agencies will work with them and which won't, she said. If they make that first phone call and get denied, they may never try and adopt again.

Council Considers Details of "Inclusionary Zoning" Affordable Housing Mandate
Inclusionary zoning is a done deal in Minneapolis. It's happening. All that remains are the details.
City Council President Lisa Bender's mantra during most of 2018: the Minneapolis 2040 plan was a "nonstarter" without an inclusionary zoning policy. Bender made it clear that she and her Council colleagues wouldn't do one policy without the other: as the city makes it easier to build more housing in more places, some portion of that housing would need to be affordable. So last December, when the City Council passed what has now become the nationally heralded 2040 plan, they also passed an interim inclusionary zoning ordinance.

Expanding Infocyte's Threat Intelligence and Response Function
This post was last updated on December 5th, 2021 at 08:16 pm
At its core, Infocyte's mission has always been to help our customers and partners to find, investigate and purge cyber threats from their networks. We do this through our automated SaaS platform and the expertise of our team. The challenge is security teams find themselves battling increasingly advanced threats. Infocyte fields more and more inquiries on how to best identify, scope and resolve the latest security incidents and vulnerabilities. Following the massive Sunburst, Microsoft 365 and Hafnium Exchange hacks, Infocyte has heard these calls and is creating a dedicated team to help our users fight these types of attacks.
Today, we are excited to announce that Infocyte has formed a new dedicated threat intelligence and response team whose goal is to work directly with our customers and partners to hunt and respond to the latest threats. As co-founder and our most experienced threat hunter, Chris Gerritz will be leading this function as our Vice President of Threat Intelligence and Response.
We sat down with Chris to get his take on the importance of this new function and how this is a critical step for Infocyte to continue evolving to meet the changing needs of its customers and partners.
Q: Why did you originally start Infocyte with Russ?
Before Russ Morris and I founded Infocyte, we were building and leading a new threat hunting and nation-state focused Defensive Counter-Cyber capability within the US Air Force CERT. In that role, we performed thousands of enterprise-wide proactive threat hunts and handled responses to major nation state attacks. When we founded Infocyte, we wanted to solve challenges that we knew the market didn't have solutions for. We wanted to make threat hunting and response easier for small or mid-sized organizations that didn't have the security budget of the US Military.
Q: How has the company progressed since then?
Over the last six years, Infocyte has helped thousands of customers, expanded our SOC to offer international 24/7 support operations, and worked with some of the top names in the industry. Most importantly, I am proud that Infocyte has played a part in discovering and investigating some truly large hacks. Our team has prevented incalculable losses from ransomware attempts in sensitive places like hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We have built a name for strong, hands-on support for our users as well as enabling our partner network to compete and deliver high quality security services like threat assessments, incident response, and Managed Detection and Response (MDR).
Q: How is the threat intel side a missing piece and why is it important now?
Infocyte has never really had a dedicated threat intelligence function that faced our customers or the public. We've always focused our research time into internal R&D and baking new developments into our solutions. When our users ran into sticky, complex situations, we often just pulled our engineers and leaders into the trench temporarily. For instance, I've personally worked side-by-side with our partners on several high profile, complex cases while also managing our product organization. These were always fruitful as it helped a given partner through a time of need. These situations also were big opportunities for product feedback and served to keep my DFIR skill set relevant and up-to-date.
Second, cybersecurity is never static–it's always evolving. There are companies and products that were once on top of detection charts that are now irrelevant because they stopped investing in staying ahead of threats. The threats we face today can't be countered with the techniques and approaches we used even as few as five years ago.
Q: Why did you want to take on this new role?
Put simply: there is a gap in the market that we can help close. Infocyte gets hands-on exposure to so many incident response cases, so we are able to see the problem early. When a zero day or new threat gets publicized, often there is a flurry of dispersed publications that leave security managers without a clear understanding or response options they can use in their particular environments. With this new team, we have the advantage of being able to work directly with our customers and partners to respond to these high-profile and sophisticated threats.
Personally, the times I've jumped into the fray to help a partner or customer solve a big challenge have been the most rewarding things I do. With the increasing rate of vulnerabilities and attacks being released, I feel like it's the right time to focus on what I believe will have the most impact for our community.
Q: What are you most excited about for the future of Infocyte?
The endpoint detection and response market, which we've been on the periphery of, has gone through a lot of changes and consolidation over the last few years. There are tons of tools out there, but only a handful like Infocyte have the technology, expertise, and speed to detect and respond immediately to these new threats. Deep forensics at scale, combined with our patented memory inspection technology gives us a unique advantage against sophisticated attacks that other tools miss.
While we found our niche with incident responders and security services partners, the big opportunity is just beginning. For one, the change to network topologies to support COVID-19 lockdowns and work-from-home has made cloud-based endpoint monitors like ours mandatory. Second, the reliance on SaaS services like Microsoft 365 has presented a new security challenge for us to help solve. The reaction to the recent release of our MS365 security module has shown just how critical it is to help secure and monitor these services in the post-COVID world.

Q: How do I make a connection for x1 and y1? This is the question I was given:

Create class (or classes) contain method to calculate the distance between two points (x1, y1) and
  (x2, y2) which are the data fields of the class. All numbers and return values should be of type
  double. Incorporate in class the methods that enable the user to enter the coordinates of the points.
  Test this class with client program DistanceTest.

But I am testing with using the formula of x1 + y1 instead of using the formula of finding (distance).
I want to use get and set method to do addition maths.
This is my code for distance1 :
import java.util.Scanner;
public class distance1 {

    private double result;

    public void credit(double x1,double y1)
    {
        result = x1 + y1;
    }
    public double getResult(){
        return result;
    }
}

And this is the code for distance1Test
import java.util.Scanner;
public class distancetest1 {

    public static void main(String[]args){

        distance1 x1 = new distance1();
        distance1 y1 = new distance1();
        distance1 r  = new distance1();

        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        double number;

        System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
        number = input.nextDouble();

        System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
        number = input.nextInt();

        System.out.printf("Result is: ", r.getResult());
    }
}

A: Firstly you forgot to call the credit function to do the addition, and secondly you need to change the System.out.printf("Result is: ", r.getResult()); to
System.out.println("Result is: "+ r.getResult());

see how to use printf in java: How to use System.out.printf
public static void main(String[] args){

    double x1,y1;
    distance1 r  = new distance1();
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
    x1 = input.nextDouble();

    System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
    y1 = input.nextInt();

    r.credit(x1, y1);
    System.out.println("Result is: "+ r.getResult());
}

A: Jaca classes must have an uppercase first letter
public class Dimension{
  private int x1;
  ...
  // Use a constructor no initialize
  Dimension(int x1, int x2, int y1, int y2){
     this.x1 = x1;
     ...
  }

  public double getDistance(){
     return Math.sqrt((x1-x2)*(x1-x2) + (y1-y2)*(y1-y2));
  }
}

Test using:
public static void main(String args[]){
    Dimension d = new Dimension(1,10,40,30);
    System.out.print(d.getDistance());
}

A: The problem is in the method main of your class distancetest1, you should :

*

*retrieve the two number inputs in two different variables "x" and "y" of type Double

*instantiate only one distance1 object "r" (x1 and y1 are useless in your try)

*call the method r.credit(...) by passing it your two variables as arguments

*display the result with the method r.getResult()
