Judge Decides to Extradite Lauri Love to the US
September 16th, 2016 Agan Uzunovic Cyber Crime, Hacking News 0 comments
Lauri Love, known for hacking US government computers will be extradited.
The British hacker Lauri Love who was arrested for hacking a number of US government computers will be extradited from the United Kingdom to the United States to face charges.
A judge at Westminster Magistrates' Court made the extradition ruling however at the same time, the judge has advised Lauri that he can appeal the decision.
#FreeLauri – Judge has decided to extradite Lauri.
— Jake Davis (@DoubleJake) September 16, 2016
#FreeLauri – judge now advising Lauri that he can appeal the decision. Case is being sent to the Secretary of State. He will remain on bail.
#Breaking – Judge in Lauri Love case says he can appeal the decision. Case now sent to Home Secretary of U.K. #FreeLauri #Internet
— Benjamin Wareing (@BenjaminWareing) September 16, 2016
Once extradited, Mr. Love will be tried in different US states he, therefore, believes that if found guilty at each of the courts including in New Jersey, New York, and Virginia, then he is bound to get approx. 99 years.
Earlier, his lawyer said his alleged hacking had "embarrassed" US authorities. Tor Ekeland said the US government "had very, very bad security and these hacks utilized exploits that were publicly known for months".
Last week HackRead reported that if extradited, Mr. Lauri Love fears it is quite possible that he will spend the rest of his life behind bars and might even die sooner than expected as he is suffering from Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger's Syndrome is a mental health condition, which is categorized as a for of Autism.
Stay tuned, more to follow…

Crazy Rich Asians has become one of this year's biggest box office hits, and what started as a small film hoping to promote more diversity in Hollywood has become a certified worldwide smash. Less than two months after its release, the film has grossed almost $200 million in theaters, and holds an astounding 93% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Variety called it "the most blinged-out big-screen romance since Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby," and the film has spawned numerous think pieces, personal stories and enthusiastic Tweets from moviegoers who have praised the cast and storyline for showcasing Asian culture in a romantic yet progressive way.
Based on Kevin Kwan's novel of the same name, Crazy Rich Asians follows Asian-American professor Rachel Chu, who travels to Singapore to meet her boyfriend Nick Young's family, only to discover that they are one of the richest families in the country. She is soon thrust into the lives of Asia's rich and famous, including Nick's cadre of cousins and friends, who each seem content on one-upping each other at the fame game.
Actress and model Victoria Loke plays Fiona Tung-Cheng, a beautiful woman married to Nick's cousin – and by extension, married into his wealthy family. Born in Singapore and a graduate of NYU, Loke began her acting career while living in New York. She's since appeared in music videos, short films and theatrical productions, though Crazy Rich Asians is her first big-screen role.
We caught up with Loke to find out more about how she got cast in the film (it was her first audition!), the reaction she's received from fans, and why she's eager for people to support three other Asian-driven projects that are out now.
How were you cast in this film? What was the process like and how did you react when you found out you were cast?
After graduating I decided to move back to Asia to build a career as an actor, and Crazy Rich Asians was the first audition that my agency at the time sent me out for! I was asked to read for the role of Kitty Pong at first and I was really taken aback when I received the sides, but I decided to have fun with the role anyway and I had a great time at the audition. That was my first-time meeting Jon [Chu, the director] and our producers, and they were just so warm and lovely. Two weeks later I got a call at breakfast from my agent telling me I had been cast in the role of Fiona Cheng, and the rest is history!
Were you familiar with the book series beforehand?
I had first heard about the book from a lot of my friends in New York, so I knew that it was a popular book in the United States. It's taken off in Singapore too, and it's somehow extremely popular with my parents' generation! I've had so many of their friends come up to me to tell me how big a fan they were of the books even before watching the movie.
Why was it important for you to be a part of this project?
To be part of the first all-Asian cast in a modern Hollywood movie in 25 years is in itself such a blessing and a privilege, and to be a stakeholder in the conversations that the film has now catalyzed about diversity and representation in popular culture is something that I personally cherish deeply. Through this film, I have had the incredible opportunity of not only working with industry veterans whom I used to watch on screen growing up, but also being part of a younger generation of Asian actors making waves globally, and that is something I am truly grateful for.
Can you relate to your character, or any of the other characters or themes from the film?
One of the most interesting aspects of the film is the way it delves into the various articulations of and contradictions within Asian identity, and how its characters either break boundaries or navigate between them. I was born and raised in Singapore, but I moved to New York as a teenager, making me both native and stranger to the two worlds that collide in Crazy Rich Asians, and so I have a personal investment in hoping this film helps us move towards an embracing of these differences and a willingness to explore these nuances in a meaningful way.
What do you think about the reaction to the film? Was it surprising to you at all?
I was absolutely moved by the outpouring of fan support, and the personal impact the film has had on our Asian-American audience members. During filming we were all cautiously optimistic that audiences would like our film, and the amount of love we've received so far has completely blown our initial expectations out of the water. This was the little film that could!
Have you heard from friends or strangers? What have their reactions been?
The entire cast has received so many personal messages from strangers telling us how happy they were to see themselves represented on screen, and this hunger for representation is something that is so tangible and real that I do hope the success of the film helps galvanize a shift in the industry. We need more diverse stories that do not simply tokenize characters of color, and we need more actors of color on screen, period; everyone deserves to have their story told.
For people who are inspired to support more Asian-driven projects, what are some other films that our readers should check out?
Our own leading man Henry Golding is also fronting Paul Feig's A Simple Favor, with Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, and I think it is so important to see diversity not just in films that explicitly highlight ethnicity but in big studio films in general.
In these films, we see Asian actors in a leading role without any need for explaining their ethnicity. That should really be the ultimate goal, to normalize the casting of diverse actors, no matter the storyline or genre.

May 6, 2014 in Economics
By Mises Updates
John O'Donnell interviews Dr. Peter Klein of Mises.org on the critique of the popular new book "Capital in the 21stCentury" by Thomas Piketty. The topics include income inequality cause and effect, role of Fed intervention in capital markets, malinvestment in boom/bust cycles with anemic price discovery and the 99% vs the 1% myth. They also discuss why boomers are working longer and the impact of youth joining the workplace.

Does Economic Openness Lead to Better Food Access?
By Sterling T. Terrell
Maybe better access to quality food leads to obesity and related health problems for much of the developed world. That, however, is a non-issue for the bulk of nations and people that lack access to quality food.
My question is: On average, would a more open nation lead to better food access, quality, etc.?
To get at this, I looked at national data rankings published by The Economist, called the Global Food Security Index. The index considers: "the core issues of affordability, availability, and quality across a set of 107 countries. The index is a dynamic quantitative and qualitative scoring model, constructed from 27 unique indicators, that measures these drivers of food security across both developing and developed countries."
For example, countries with great access to food include: Switzerland, Singapore and the USA. At the bottom of the list are nations like: Congo, Chad, and Tongo.
To measure the other side of the coin, I used country by country ranking data from The Heritage Foundation found in their latest Index of Economic Freedom. Heritage says: "We measure economic freedom based on 10 quantitative and qualitative factors, grouped into four broad categories, or pillars, of economic freedom."
The freest nations are listed as: Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia. The most repressed nations are listed as: Zimbabwe, Cuba, and North Korea.
The methodology of the Global Food Security Index is here, the same for the Index of Economic Freedom is, here, under Q.3.
Nations that did not appear in both series were omitted.
So, is an open economy associated with better food access and quality? I would have guessed yes, but what does the data say?
It turns out that a 1% increase on the Index of Economic Freedom equates, on average, to about a .53% rank increase on the Global Food Security Index.
Rwanda, of all places, seems to be a bit off its culinary track, with a #65 freedom ranking and a #97 food security ranking.
Nations like Brazil though, (ranked 114th in the world in terms of economic freedom) do not seem to fair too badly in their access to quality food. Brazil comes in at 29th in the world on the Global Food Security Index.
France too is ranked 70th globally on the Heritage Foundation's Index of Economic Freedom while coming in at number 7 on The Economist's Global Food Security Index.

A Note on "Human Capital"
By Peter G. Klein
Like Peter Lewin, Walter Block, Mario Rizzo, and Peter Boettke, I greatly admire the late Gary Becker, a pioneer in many areas of economics and sociology, a strong proponent of economic and personal freedom, and by all accounts a terrific teacher, mentor, and colleague. But I confess that I have always had qualms about the concept of "human capital," along with the analogous constructs of social capital, knowledge capital, reputation capital, and so on. These are metaphors for capital in the narrow sense, and I worry that the widespread use of "capital" to denote anything valuable and long-lived obscures important issues about actual, physical capital that can be divided up, measured, priced, and exchanged. Witness the confusion over "capital" as Thomas Piketty uses the term. Here is something I wrote before:
[O]ne of my pet peeves [is] the expansive use of "capital" to describe any ill-defined substance that accumulates and has value. Hence knowledge, experience, and skills become "human capital" or "knowledge capital"; relationships become "social capital"; brand names become "reputation capital"; and so on. I fear this terminology obfuscates more than it clarifies.
I don't mind using these terms in a loose, colloquial sense: By going to school I'm investing in human capital or diversifying my stock of human capital; if this gets me a high-paying job I'm earning a good return on my human capital; as I get old I forget new things, so my human capital is depreciating rapidly; and so on.
But we shouldn't take these metaphors too literally. In economic theory capital refers either to financial capital or to a stock of heterogeneous alienable assets, goods that can be exchanged in markets and analyzed using price theory. Their rental prices are determined by marginal revenue products and their purchase prices are given by the present discounted value of these future rents. Knowledge is not, strictly speaking, capital, because it is not traded in markets does not have a rental or purchase price. What markets trade and price is labor services, and it is impossible to decompose the payments to labor (wages) into separate "effort" and "rental return on human capital" components. Some labor services command a higher market price than others because they have a higher marginal revenue product. Some of this wage premium may be due to intelligence or experience, some due to complementarities with other human or nonhuman assets, some due to hard work, and so on. But …read more
What the National Climate Assessment Doesn't Tell You
The Obama Administration on Tuesday released the latest version of the National Climate Assessment—a report which is supposed to detail the potential impacts that climate change will have on the United States. The report overly focuses on the supposed negative impacts from climate change while largely dismissing or ignoring the positives from climate change. This bias, say Cato scholars Chip Knappenberger and Patrick J. Michaels, has serious implications throughout the federal regulatory process.

Five Libertarian Ideas #16 – YAL Cal Con 2014, Liberty movement activism, war in Ukraine
May 6, 2014 in Blogs
By Political Zach Foster
Ukrainian counter-terrorism operations
In my opinion the Ukrainian army is fully justified in waging counter-terror operations. Had the pro-Russian Ukrainians assembled peacefully and called for plebiscites in their various cities, then I would welcome their secession and voluntary association with Russia. Instead, Russian Special Forces infiltrated the Ukraine and have assembled militias and mobs to use violent measures to conquer eastern Ukraine for Russia. A national army's chief objective is NATIONAL DEFENSE, and the Ukrainian army is doing what it can to defend Ukraine from an invasion. -4/19
Liberty movement activism
Fighting for liberty is a difficult road; assume it's a lonely one. Assume the people you love will stop loving you. Assume your friends will turn their backs on you. Assume that you'll be walking this road ALONE for 20 years. THEN you're ready for anything that may come. Now keep walking, brothers and sisters. -4/22
YAL California State Convention 2014
YAL Cal Con was freaking awesome! It's great to know that libertarians may argue online over stupid differences to the point where they resort to pistols at dawn, but put them in a room together and they party like combat veterans at war's end. -4/27
Russian hypocrisy in Ukraine
So, after admitting that the "Crimean Self-Defense Forces" (a.k.a. the Little Green Men) REALLY WERE Russian Special Forces troops, KGB Colonel Vladimir Putin insists that Russia has NOTHING to do with the self-proclaimed "People's Republic of Donetsk" in eastern Ukraine. Better yet, despite claims that Ukrainian-Russians are liberating themselves from "fascists", the so-called People's Governor of Donetsk is an actual Russian neo-Nazi. -4/27
Possible U.S./UN intervention in Ukraine
I don't support sending my brothers and sisters in arms to eastern Europe to intervene in an ethnic civil war. Ukraine is GOING to lose more chunks in the east to Russia. If Kiev wants to avoid losing ALL of the east to the neo-Soviet Empire, they NEED to hold plebiscites in every eastern county, which must be administered and votes counted by neutral Switzerland. -4/27

"A preventive war, to my mind, is an impossibility today. How could you have one if one of its features would be several cities lying in ruins, several cities where many, many thousands of people would be dead and injured and mangled, the transportation systems destroyed, sanitation implements and systems all gone? That isn't preventive war; that is war. I don't believe there is such a thing; and, frankly, I wouldn't even listen to anyone seriously that came in and talked about such a thing. ... It seems to me that when, by definition, a term is just ridiculous in itself, there is no use in going any further. There are all sorts of reasons, moral and political and everything else, against this theory, but it is so completely unthinkable in today's conditions that I thought it is no use to go any further." - Dwight D. Eisenhower News Conference of (11 August 1954)

South Aurora is conveniently located with quick access to Denver International Airport (DIA). Continuing growth along Aurora's relatively new E-470 corridor, is projected to double the size of the city.
South Aurora is home to three of the largest reservoirs in the Denver Metro area, Cherry Creek, Quincy, and the Aurora Reservoir recreation area. South Aurora's location is prime real estate for thousands of new residences from modest to pricey neighborhoods and communities.
South Aurora also boasts the largest outdoor air mall in the United States, Southlands Mall. Main Street Southlands has a central plaza which showcases a jumping fountain, an outdoor ice skating rink (winter), and a theater complex. Shops, eateries, and hanging plants line the main street, with professional office spaces located on the upper level. Southlands Mall is surrounded by many larger stores surrounding it's perimeter.
South Aurora is thriving due to it's future development potential and ability to accommodate the rapid expansion of the southeast Denver Metro Area. If you're interested in living in South Aurora, take a look at the many excellent homes in South Aurora, below.

An implementation of Object.Finalize for a particular class in .NET should always call the Finalize method of its base class. In the case of C#, you can't explicitly override Finalize, but you provide a finalizer using the destructor (~) syntax. When you do this, the compiler will automatically add code to ensure that your destructor calls Finalize in the base class.
In the example below, I write a simple destructor for the Dog class. We can see in the IL that the Finalize method has been overridden and that it calls System.Object.Finalize in the finally clause.

Based on the new footage from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, how do you think the new city of Gridania looks compare to the old one? Or, if you haven't played FFXIV, how do you think it looks regardless?
From watching the video it seems like the team has been able to recreate the zones with a lot of variety and flavor. No copy/pasted terrain persists, and the variety of assets (models for stuff) looks pretty good. The new maps seem to handle the new jumping mechanic really well too.
There's also some new music composed by Masayoshi Soken that sounds a bit more ambient than Gridania's previous BGM. I think it fits pretty well and as really relaxing?
the jumping mechanic's look really good and useful and works how it should be, in ff13-2 it had jumping but it also had invsible barriers that blocked you from jumping over small objects that looked like it can be jumped over. i havent played nor seen the old grindania but the new one looks great in deatil and as you said the jumping works well with it.
To be honest, the new look with Gridania makes me wanna play it badly. The main thing that got me wanting to play is the male miqo'te.

Q: Hard drive corrupted. I have an old clone, how do I restore the partition tables? I cloned this drive about 6 months ago using dd. Today the partition tables got corrupted. What can I do to restore them using the old drive? I'm currently scanning for lost partitions using testdisk to see if it can fix it without bringing out the other one. It's just one partition, but it currently thinks it's EFI GPT or something. I don't know how to mark that it's ext4.

A: PLEASE BACK UP BEFORE YOU TRY THIS - I have not tried it, and it could make things worse.
To backup the MBR which contains the partition table (and is easy to do)

dd if=/dev/sourcedisk of=target.file bs=512 count=1

Similarly to restore

dd if=target file of=/dev/targetdisk bs=512 count=1

This will copy the first 512 bytes onto the new disk - which provides includes inter-alia the partition table.
bs=block size, so take the first 512 bytes.
count=1 take 1 block only, ie the first one.
There is an interesting post here with more in depth and alternatives to be more selective of what you back up and restore.

Q: Building a data dictionary in web Not a dictionary for language, but data.  I.e Car1[Make="Honda",Model="Accord",Colour="Red"]
That's how I'd do it in Python, but by the look of things, it's harder to do on the web.  I'm using PHP (not ASP).
Has anyone had any experience with writing this kind of thing on web?  I'm open to JS etc if needs be.  I've seen a couple of hacks for PHP, but would like to know anything more suited.

A: Dictionary from Python can be compared to associative arrays in (or, less probable, objects) PHP and simple objects (with similar notation as in Python, called JSON) in JavaScript, if you asked for that.

A: Data structures could be saved as an array;
$car1 = array( 'make' => 'Honda', 'model' => 'Accord', 'colour' => 'Red' );

Or you could make an object;
class cars{
    private $make;
    private $model;
    private $colour;

    public function __construct($make, $model, $colour)
    {
        $this->make = $make
        $this->model = $model;
        $this->colour = $colour;
    }
}

$car1 = new cars('Honda', 'Accord', 'Red');

Or you save it an a database.
Or as an YAML and/or JSON document.
Or as an XML document.
All depending on what and how much data you have.

A: You could store it as a PHP array:
$car = array(
    'make' => 'Honda',
    'model' => 'Accord',
    'colour' => 'Red'
);

A: That looks like a regular associative array to me

Foxconn's Double Dose of Bad News
Posted on November 14, 2018 by TedNovember 14, 2018
A Negative Financial Report & a New Wisconsin Governor Add to Headaches
No doubt about it, Apple Inc. supplier Foxconn has had a really bad week. First, last Tuesday Wisconsin voters kicked Republican Governor Scott Walker out of office, replacing him with Democrat Tony Evers. Then early this week, the company released financial results with disappointing earnings that missed analysts estimates. Both of these unrelated events have combined to cause market analysts to question the company's strategy going forward.
See more on what these events mean bad news for Foxconn…
Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., is a major Apple Inc. supplier mostly known as the main manufacturer of iPhones. Shortly after Donald Trump won the 2016 U.S. election to become President, Foxconn announced ambitious plans to expand production by building a large factory in Wisconsin, its first in the United States. Now, concerns are growing over Foxconn's plan to build in Wisconsin in the wake of last week's midterm elections which resulted in a regime change in the Wisconsin governor's office.
Foxconn CEO Terry Gou has always credited former governor Scott Walker's support as a key factor in the company deciding to locate a factory in Wisconsin, according to a report in the Nikkei. Walker ultimately offered Foxconn an financial package worth nearly $4 billion in state and local tax incentives – an amount that represents the largest subsidized tax package ever offered to a foreign company in American history. Both Governor Scott Walker and President Donald Trump celebrated the deal by attending the groundbreaking ceremonies for the new factory.
A Vocal Critic of the Foxconn Deal Replaces the Governor That Offered It
But that generous incentive plan has drawn significant criticism of Walker from many corners, leading some political analysts to suggest it may have been a factor that eroded his support from voters. And one of his most vocal critics was from the man who would go on to win last week's election and replace him – Democrat Tony Evers.
Foxconn's Terry Gou with former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker
The new Governor-elect has already said that this deal with Foxconn will need to be redrawn. "What we can do is renegotiate some of the side deals that Walker made with [Foxconn] that frankly don't make any sense," Governor-elect Evers said in an interview with Wisconsin's News 3 in August.
Foxconn May Be Delayed, Welcomes Governor-Elect
While some have suggested that Evers may be risking losing the factory, said to be a $10 billion project bringing 13,000 jobs to Wisconsin, the Governor-elect is not swayed. Industry analysts suggest Evers may be correct. One analyst with WitsView, Eric Chiou, told the Nikkei that at this stage of the project, Foxconn will likely be forced to renegotiate terms with Wisconsin, "and such talks could likely lead to some delay of the project."
Responding to queries about the situation from the Nikkei, Foxconn said, "We look forward to working with Governor-elect Evers and hit team. We have already made significant progress and continue to actively move forward on our commitment to create high-value jobs in Wisconsin as part of our major investment in the state."
Poor Financial Results Make Foxconn's Future Fuzzier
Before analysts could fully digest the impact of the change in the Governor's office, news came of Foxconn's disappointing financial quarterly results – causing the view of their future to get even fuzzier. Foxconn (or more precisely Hon Hai Precision Industry Co) reported net income of NT$24.9 billion ($806 million) for the fiscal quarter ending in September. This was fully 12% lower than industry analysts' estimates.
With this news, Hon Hai/Foxconn played right into a rapidly emerging narrative of Apple suppliers reporting financial woes due to declining unit sales of iPhones. Multiple Apple suppliers – such as Japan Display Inc. and Lumentum Holdings – have cut their future guidance as the situation with Apple looks as though it will continue in the forseeable future.
iPhone Unit Sales Decline, Stressing Suppliers Everywhere
Apple itself has reported disappointing iPhone results and has even shocked the market by announcing it will stop breaking out iPhone unit sale in its future reports on financial results. Poker players call a move like that a major "tell."
JP Morgan analyst Gokul Hariharan, in a note to investors, said JP Morgan is now "negative" on all iPhone assemblers – including Hon Hai/Foxconn – because of fears that Apple is continuing to reduce orders, margin headwinds, and the potential for supply chain disruption due to China-U.S. trade friction.
Shares in Hon Hai/Foxconn have dropped 36% so far this year.

Military Academy on 11 day endurance race for charity
Author: Corporate Communications Division
To pay homage to former president Nelson Mandela and "Ma" Albertina Sisulu, who were both born a 100 years ago, the Military Academy at Saldanha, will this year kick off their annual endurance race from Qunu in the Eastern Cape – the village Nelson Mandela grew up in.
The Military Academy houses the Faculty of Military Science of Stellenbosch University (SU).
Students of the Military Academy has been planning, funding and taking part in Trans Enduro for more than 30 years. The race is held to raise funds for the Military Academy's MASIZA community outreach programme, while the students are also involved in social impact projects along way such as cleaning streets and neighbourhoods, painting school buildings, and visiting retirement homes.
The MASIZA programme this year focuses on the Girl Child and early childhood development. Students collected sanitary products and will hand these out at certain schools along the way.
Thuma Mina
The theme of TRANS ENDURO 2018 is "Thuma mina" (Send me) – in response to President Cyril Ramaphosa's call during his inaugural State of the Nation address in parliament on 16 February 2018 for South Africans to "accept the call to selflessly serve the embattled nation".
"The entire exercise is planned and executed by the Academy students. This develops their leadership skills and enhances their understanding of the practical issues related to community service. In return, communities get exposed to the high calibre of the young men and women serving in defence of the country," says Lieutenant Colonel Morné Booÿjens, Chief Military Instructor at the Military Academy and serving as mentor to participants.
Nine teams, including land, running, log, signal, media, cycling and sea teams – travel from the Eastern Cape to Saldanha over a period of 11 days, staying over in towns along the way.
While the cycling team covers a certain distance on bicycles, the sea team travels along the coast with two rubber dinghies, and the land team drives with vehicles from town to town collecting money, while the log team prepares for the other teams' arrival. There is also a running team that covers a distance of 10 km each day. At certain points the teams change.
Also, it is tradition that the mayor of each town writes a short letter of goodwill to the mayor of the next town. The letter is handed to the exercise commander who delivers it to the mayor of the next town.
Each morning will see a short opening ceremony as organised in conjunction with the various mayoral committees of municipalities along the way.
Opening ceremonies take place daily at the following venues:

MORE ABOUT EXERCISE TRANS ENDURO
Exercise Trans Enduro's existence can be traced back to approximately 33 years ago, when a group of Military Academy students organised an adventure race from Port Elizabeth to Saldanha.
The Race was conducted through the use of 2 inflatable rubber ducks, and it roughly followed the route of the Trans Agulhas adventure race.
Through the years it changed and students used this opportunity to collect money along the route as part of the competition for the "Smoeg" trophy at Stellenbosch and all the money went to Maties Community Service.
A cycling component was introduced in 1998 that cycles the route along the N2.
The community services team was introduced in 2002 and the focus shifted from collecting money to doing community service along the road. The running team was introduced in 2014.
In 2018, as part of the centenary celebrations of the late President Nelson Mandela and Albertina Sisulu the starting point will be in Qunu, the birth place of Nelson Mandela.

As a firefighter/paramedic with nearly 35 years experience, Louis C. Farah tells the story of his career from a perspective that has rarely been revealed before.
Sound of Mercy: A Paramedic's Story shows what it's really like to be in the trenches of emergency medical services. More than just an expose of what happens during medical emergencies, Farah calls upon his personal experiences to accurately describe the gut-wrenching emotions, internal fears, and heart-stopping moments that paramedics, who are called upon to risk their lives so others may live, face on a daily basis.
This story is not for the faint-of-heart, nor is it sugarcoated in any way. It is real life presented without holding back any punches.
Farah's experience involves working three completely different paramedic careers at the same time. He works in a variety of rescue ambulances in a busy, mostly suburban county; he works in a dual-function capacity as a firefighter / paramedic assigned to either a rescue squad or a fire engine; and perhaps most courageous of all, he dangles hundreds of feet out of a helicopter performing daring rescues as a search-and-rescue flight paramedic.
Unlike what is portrayed on television and in the movies, the life of a paramedic is not all glamour and heroism. The reality is not everyone lives, and this is a reality paramedics face every day as they are constantly taken to their limits trying to save lives.

Will more teen drivers mean more accidents?
On behalf of Culpepper Kurland posted in Car Accidents on Thursday, January 17, 2019.
After years of decline, it seems that, of late, there have been more teen drivers getting their licenses, and, presumably, taking to the roadways of Florida and the rest of the country. In the mid-1980s, the number of teenage drivers in this country peaked out, with about 40 percent of 16-year-olds holding a license to drive. Around the same time, the number of 17-year-olds holding a license was close to 70 percent, or over 2 out of 3 drivers this age.
By about 2010, the number of 16-year-olds who could drive legally was closer to 30 percent, while just under half of all 17-year-olds held a valid license. While most people still have a license by the time they are 18, even this number has steadily gone down over the years.
Of late, though, there seems to be a slight uptick in the number of drivers under 20 who are seeking a license. For some people, this may be a cause of concern, as some research suggests that teenagers just have some inherent characteristics that make them riskier drivers and more apt to be involved in a car accident. On the other hand, some have suggested that the real issue with teen drivers is not age but relative inexperience behind the wheel.
There is at least one statistic that may support the latter position. As time has gone on, there have been fewer and fewer teens involved in fatal accidents. Moreover, since about 2010, the age group most commonly involved in fatal accidents has been 20 to 34 years, and not teens.

Leonora Carrington's Surrealist Revolution
Author: Janey Tracey |
Posted in Critical Essays No comments
The Hearing Trumpet, by painter and author Leonora Carrington, is frequently described as a "surrealist" novel, and it's not difficult to see why. The novel, which tells the tale of a 92-year-old named Marian who is banished to a sinister institution for elderly women, reads like an updated Alice in Wonderland, involving houses shaped like birthday cakes, poisoned brownies, a pseudo-apocalypse, and the Holy Grail. Carrington's novel also seeks, however, to upend retrograde Surrealist tropes about women, such as the quite literally infantilizing "femme enfant." Rather than portraying a more typical feminist utopia in which women reign supreme, the novel aims to create a gender-neutral world that embodies a very different Surrealist ideal: pneuma.
Pneuma, the neuter Greek word for "spirit," is an concept used in alchemical imagery to represent the transformation of metal into gold, as well as the ideal totality of a God that is both masculine and feminine. In Surrealist painting, as Helen Byatt puts it in her introduction to The Hearing Trumpet, it represents "the sweet means of reconciliation of opposites and the unveiling of the marvelous."
In Surrealist paintings by the male "greats," female muses often serve as wild and magical, yet beautiful and subservient child-women that unveil the mystical with their pure, animalistic spirits. This trope is often referred to as the "femme enfant," which, incidentally, Leonora Carrington herself embodied in several paintings by her former partner, Max Ernst. Carrington's choice of protagonist, however, immediately subverts this trope. Marian is an elderly woman who is described as physically repulsive. She is toothless and decrepit, and describes her own body as a "terrible old carcass." Right before relegating Marian to an old folks' home, her grandson calls her the "monster of Glamis" and says, "Grandmother can hardly be classified as a human being. She's a drooling sack of decomposing flesh."
At first blush, all of the women at the Santa Brigida institute share qualities with the now-archetypal "dangerous woman" of feminist literature. They are often compared to animals—especially slinky cats and Biblical snakes. They are all rebellious and taunted as monsters at some point or another—particularly standout character Georgina, who is called a "vipress" and a "sex maniac" when she reports potential sexual misconduct at the home.
But Carrington is not simply portraying the uprising of typical unruly, animalistic women of modern feminist literature. While Marian and her friends possess all of these qualities, they are also curiously androgynous. Marian has a "short grey beard" that she sees as "rather gallant," her best friend Carmella is bald, fellow resident Anna Wertz wears a "gentleman's dinner jacket," Claude la Checherelle has her hair "cropped like a man." As a result of their androgyny, the antagonist of the story is not only maleness, but the gender binary.
This feminist framework is demonstrated in the portrayal of the two villains: Dr. and Mrs. Gambit. Dr. Gambit is a relatively standard oppressive man: a psychiatrist who runs the Santa Brigida institute like a New Age cult, he is determined to control the women's thought processes and even eradicate their personalities in a quest for "Inner Christianity." (As he tells Marian, "Personality is Vampire and True Self can never emerge as long as Personality is dominant.") But Mrs. Gambit, who embodies the prototypical "feminine" woman under the patriarchy, emerges as the real villain of the piece. She is constantly smiling, she is usually "lying down with a sick headache," and she has a "despotic rule of the kitchen," which foreshadows her eventual murder of a resident with a poisoned brownie. At one point, Georgina even refers to her as "the beastly Gambit Female." Together, the Gambits represent the violence that hegemonic roles seem to foster.
Marian at one point imagines herself as a conventionally beautiful, feminine woman in an extended fantasy sequence. But even in her fantasy she would rather shed her beauty in favor of reading Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen. She recalls the fairy tale, in which the Snow Queen kidnaps a small boy named Kai and forces him to complete a complex, virtually unsolvable puzzle.
"Now I can see that I also was given a mathematical problem which I cannot solve although I seem to have been trying for many many years… something horrible is about to happen and I must find the solution quickly. All the things I love are going to disintegrate and there is nothing I can do about it unless I solve the Snow Queen's problem."
This passage demonstrates how Marian's androgyny renders her uniquely qualified to lead a feminist revolution. Marian's premonition that "something horrible is about to happen" and that only she can stop it reflects her dawning realization that she will serve as some sort of savior figure, that she will solve an unsolvable problem. Marian is also expressing her identification with the Snow Queen, who serves as a stand-in for the Goddess of pagan religions. Direct and indirect references to the Goddess are peppered throughout the novel, directly rebutting the Gambit's patriarchal vision of spirituality. Finally, as the fantasy continues, she imagines a misogynistic man contrasting the beautiful version of her with hermaphroditic "witches":
Darling stop being philosophical it doesn't suit you, it makes your nose red.
Since I discovered that I am really beautiful I don't care about having a red nose it is such a beautiful shape…
You are a depressive maniac and I would be bored stiff if you were not so pretty… They say witches make magic with ferm seeds, they are hermaphrodites.
The witches?
No, the ferns.
The conventionally feminine version of Marian is accepted by others, but is also confused, vain, and unfulfilled. The real, androgynous version of Marian, however, may be able to start a revolution by embodying another surrealist ideal: pneuma.
Throughout the novel, Marian identifies with two other androgynous female figures: the Winking Abbess and the Queen Bee. The Winking Abbess is a figure in a painting in the Santa Brigida institute (a further reference to Surrealist art) who is first described as a "bawdy old bag," and who Marian later discovers was a witch who disguised herself as a "bearded nobleman" and had an encounter with a homosexual prince. The Queen Bee is an all-powerful female figure, closely resembling the Winking Abbess, whom the women see in a shared hallucination during their uprising. Like real-life queen bees, she represents the possibility of a matriarchy that is both productive and cooperative.
Together, these three women come to represent the alchemy process. When the apocalypse begins, Marian has a vision of a "three-faced woman." "One of the faces was black, one red, one white, and they belonged to the Abbess, the Queen Bee, and myself." In alchemical imagery, black represents the original metal, white represents the intermediate silver, and red represents gold. So according to Carrington, the historical Abbess represents the beginning of the alchemy process, Marian is the modernized update, and the Queen Bee is a visionary figure that may or may not be able to exist.
The climax of the novel, in which Marian and the other women are tasked with delivering the Holy Grail to the Goddess, makes explicit the connection between religion, androgyny, and utopian revolution. If they are successful, they will thwart the efforts of the worshipers of the "Revengeful Father God," and instead institute a regime that will allow "goodwill and love to prevail in the world." When they accept the mission, one of the Goddess's acolytes says, "May the Queen Bee fill the Cup with Pneuma."
The women's quest, and the novel itself, ends on an abstract and ambiguous note, but the overall meaning is clear. The Hearing Trumpet claims that, whether this is actually possible or not, the ideal world will be ushered in when we explode the gender binary.

Today's post is something new. I'm talking all about my favorite boutique! If you are familiar with any of my social media, then I am sure you've heard of Dress Up. However, you do not know my story with Dress Up and why I support their mission.
I started shopping at Dress Up all the way back in 2011 when they opened their Woodstock store. Woodstock is my hometown and home to one of Dress Up's first locations. I just realized how old I was went I sat down to do the math. I started shopping at Dress Up when I was in seventh grade, and I've shopped here for 8 years. I am now a junior in college. Given that I'm only 20, that's almost a third of my lifetime.
Why have I stayed so loyal to Dress Up and what's brought me back?
Well first off, the clothes are adorable. They're adorable and affordable, adding new styles every week. On top of the reasonable prices, Dress Up runs sales all the time. They text me whenever there's deals! If you're interested, you can sign up for text alerts whenever you're in store. After Christmas, there was a promotion running for 40% off everything in-store and online, which is probably the most damage I've ever done at Dress Up.
The mission of Dress Up is to show the love of Christ and help women realize their worth, "Love People, Love Clothes." Danielle Case founded Dress Up with her husband and launched her first brick and mortar store five weeks after she had the innovation to start a boutique. I don't simply go to Dress Up to shop, but also for the experience. The website, store, employees, and every social media platform have an aesthetic that is prevalent throughout the brand.
Dress Up gets personal and interacts with their followers on Instagram, demonstrating their gratitude through thanking customers for their support. The shopdressup Instagram is chalk full of outfit inspiration, new arrivals, and photos sent in by customers, sporting their favorite brand. Dress Up builds authentic relationships with their customers, and that's where my loyalty was sparked.
I am honored to be able to say that I've watched Dress Up flourish over the years. I was introduced to a start-up with 4 locations, but that has now expanded into 20 locations across the Southeast in 4 different states. Since moving to Statesboro, the closest store is in Savannah. I either shop there Woodstock, Athens, or Charleston depending where my travels lead me. Even if there isn't a Dress Up near you, you can easily shop online! Y'all they make it so easy, the options are endless.
What are you waiting for?? Go treat yourself at Dress Up.

Lady o War is one of the many Quests found in Divinity: Original Sin 2.
This quest begins while still on the boat, right at the beginning of Chapter 3. While exploring the deck, you'll find a body containing a Sodden Diary. Read it to get the journal entry. It will say that the password for entering the master cabin is Fortitude.
Speak with Malady on the boat to get several updates. One will be concerning Alexander and that he is alive. The other will be that the boat won't move because it's made of livewood. If you're character is an Elf, you'll have unique options to try and move the boat yourself.
If you go below deck, you'll find a locked, ornate door. If you try to open it with the Fortitude password, it won't open and you'll get a journal update.
In the back of the boat is a jailed Magister. Speak to her and try to pass her persuasion check. Intelligence gives you the best chance, but even then you must have a high rating to succeed. If you do, you'll learn about a book that can help get the boat moving.
In order to get into Dallis' secret room, you need to visit Alexander in his jail cell. Have the guard open the door, then inspect his body. One option will reveal a necklace, take it to acquire a strange gem. With the gem in hand, head to the door and speak with it. Use the gem, then tell it the password to finally open it.
On the table inside the master cabin is a letter. Read it to get a journal update about "The Mistake".
Inside this room you can also meet Tarquin. He's a merchant, and through his various dialogue you can learn more about him.
On the main desk is a book of songs. Grab it then go to the main deck and speak to the dragon head at the front of the boat. You'll now be able to move it.
After setting sail on the Lady Vengeance, you'll be attacked by Dallis and gain a journal entry.

The Gates: Petition to Save the ABC TV Show from Being Cancelled
There's a lot of incredible things going on in the Gates community. As unbelievable as it might seem, the show's ratings haven't been very good. As a result, there's a very real possibility that The Gates TV show will be cancelled and won't be back for season two.
What can you do? Remember, the ideal scenario for ABC is for many millions of people to watch the show on their television sets, while it's being broadcast. Unfortunately, ratings are put together based on a sampling of viewers. If you're a "Nielsen household," your viewing is being counted. If not, it's not.
However, if you like The Gates and want to see it continue, there are a few things you can do to help.
If you're a Nielsen family, watch the show whenever it's on. If not, watch it on ABC.com or purchase episodes online so your viewing will be directly counted. Encourage others to watch the show. You might know a Nielsen family and not be aware of it.
Talk about the show with others; at school, at work, online, or wherever. Creating a buzz about a show that you're invested in gets other people interested and might help bring former viewers back.
Sign the petition below and encourage others to do the same.
Write to the network. Be respectful. Everyone responds better to courtesy. Tell them how much you enjoy the show, that you've signed the petition, and that you want to see it continue. You can use this form or, even better, write via "snail-mail" to: Mr. Paul Lee, President, ABC, 500 S. Buena Vista Street, Burbank, CA 91521, RE: The Gates
Take note of the products that are advertised during the show. Write the advertisers and tell them that you appreciate their sponsoring the show and that you buy their products (if you do).
To ABC, Fox Television Studios, and Little Engine Entertainment:
We, the undersigned, enjoy watching The Gates on the ABC network. The series has just the right mixture of drama and supernatural suspense.
Please find a way to keep The Gates on the air. We are devoted viewers who will continue to watch the program, encourage others to do the same, and will support the series' advertisers as well. Please keep it going, either on ABC or, if necessary, on another Disney-owned channel.

THE ENDING WAS CRAZY were the writers ready for a hiatus. there were a couple of areas that need closure of some sort. This show is incomplete. Please finish it. Season 2 re: Devon, Leigh. Will Nick & family leave? What will happen to Nick & Claire?
Arreba StaffordCountry: USA 2017-06-22 16:41:29
I finished season one and there is a major cliff hanger that needs to be addressed. While I am not sure if ABC will pick this terrific show up, it would be great if another network (preferably Netflix, since they have season one on their site) to pick this show up. The cast was phenomenal, and the plot was intriguing...plus the show has received positive revues from other fans, and we are all willing to support its return. Please do that for all of us.
Trenton McKellarCountry: USA2017-06-17 21:12:53

This was an amazing tv show. I actually do love this series over Bitten,GOT and so much more. Please bring back the series or have a spin off that continues with the same energy that was given. The actors all were perfect for the roles they had. I'm telling you that shows nowadays do not have the hold that you guys had. We all want this show back.
Alohilani ZapataCountry: United States2017-04-24 05:40:33
I really really want there to be a season 2!! I want to know what happens, it ended so weirdly with after Devin brought Charlie back to life. And, I've already seen the entire Season 1 twice already. Hope number 2 comes on netflix SOON!! THANKS!
Michael HarrisCountry: US2017-04-10 03:32:36
Unfortunately not everyone can watch live episodes with a busy schedule. nowadays everything is either DVR watch it later or streaming when all the episodes are released. Really should based the ratings off that because you would be surprised how many viewers watch shows that way compared to the days of old. I really enjoyed this serious and was left anticipating what would happen in season 2 to find out it was cancelled due to not enough viewers. Before cancelling something please at least run a few seasons 2-3 before nixing a show. Especially a good series as this one. It honestly could of been a long running series like Vampire Diaries or Supernatural set in the suburbs of modern day living. I give this series 2 thumbs up and please figure out a way to do season 2 while encouraging new fan based viewers to watch.

Caleb Shea
Form, line and phenomenology occupy central positions in Caleb Shea's work, where transcendental geometric abstraction and blunt simplicity meet in a newly charged revision of the late-modernist sculptural tradition. His neo-formalist sculptural investigations combine with modes of experiential spatial configurations to celebrate a return to sincerity and romance of the shape.
Shea studied toward a Bachelor of Visual Arts, University of Newcastle, 1995-7 and graduated from a Bachelor of Fine Art (Sculpture), RMIT, 2006, a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours), RMIT, 2009 and a Master of Visual Arts, Victorian College of the Arts, 2011.

The Battle of Piraeus was fought in 403 BC between Athenian exiles who had defeated the government of the Thirty Tyrants and occupied Piraeus and a Spartan force sent to combat them. In the battle, the Spartans narrowly defeated the exiles, with both sides suffering appreciable casualties. After the battle, Pausanias arranged a settlement between the two parties which allowed the reestablishment of democratic government in Athens.

Prelude
In late 404 BC, a small force of Athenian exiles under the command of Thrasybulus entered Attica and seized the border strong point of Phyle. These exiles were seeking to dislodge the repressive oligarchic government of the Thirty Tyrants. In two battles, they defeated the forces of that government; after the second battle, the Thirty were deposed and replaced by a more moderate government, the Ten. These new rulers, although they ended the brutality that had marked the reign of the Thirty, were not ready to compromise with the exiles, who now held Piraeus, the port of Athens. Desultory skirmishing between the two sides continued during this stalemate, with the Athenian cavalry attacking foragers from Piraeus; meanwhile, the men in Piraeus began to make attacks on the walls of Athens.

Accordingly, both the Thirty at Eleusis and the Ten at Athens sent emissaries to Sparta, requesting assistance against the men in Piraeus. At this point, Spartan internal politics took a vital role in determining the future of Athens. Upon the arrival of the envoys, Lysander, who supported an aggressive foreign policy, and who had installed the Thirty in power in the first place, set out to Eleusis, where he began raising an army. After he left, however, the king Pausanias, who wished to pursue a more defensive foreign policy, succeeded in winning the support of three of the five ephors. He was dispatched at the head of an army to resolve the situation.

The battle
Upon Pausanias's arrival in Attica, he ordered the men in Piraeus to disperse; when they refused to do so, he drew his men up to attack them, but did not actually engage them. The next day, however, a party of Athenian light troops attacked the Spartans while they were reconnoitering near Piraeus. Pausanias dispatched his cavalry and his youngest infantrymen to attack them, while he with the rest of the infantry followed in support. In pursuit, the Spartan cavalry and advance infantry entered Piraeus, where they encountered a large body of light troops, and were driven back with losses. Thrasybulus then came out with his hoplite force to press the issue; the Spartan hoplites engaged them, and, after a time, defeated them, inflicting 150 casualties. The men from Piraeus returned to the city, while Pausanias and his men returned to their camp. The war was over.

Aftermath
After winning this victory, Pausanias, instead of pressing his advantage, sought to effect a reconciliation between the two Athenian parties. Accordingly, he persuaded both the men from Piraeus and the government in Athens to send emissaries to Sparta. These returned along with 15 officials empowered to work with Pausanias to negotiate a settlement to the issue. Pausanias then persuaded the Athenians to settle their disagreement on the terms of all being permitted to return to their homes except for the Thirty and their most prominent collaborators, while all who feared for their safety were free to remove to Eleusis. Democracy was reestablished, and all but the most egregious offenders were pardoned. Eleusis remained independent for a time, but, when it was revealed that the Thirty were gathering a mercenary army there, a preventive strike was launched and the town was reabsorbed into the Athenian state.
