A new approach: Less sanctions, less nukes
Harry Kazianis
While it might not get the attention it did back in 2017 when North Korea and the United States tr-aded nuclear war threats, the hermit kingdom is back in the news — and for a good reason. The Kim family is now testing new long-range missiles, or ICBMs, that can strike the U.S. homeland with a nuclear weapon.
None of this, of course, has to happen. The reality is that while Washington will never be able to eliminate North Korea's nuclear weapons program, it does have the ability to shape it in a way that could provide fundamental safety and security for the region. But unfortunately, politics is preventing reason from winning the day. And that means North Korea will keep building more nuclear weapons and missiles for years to come and as such, continue to generate fear across its borders and the debate over whether South Korea should build its own nuclear arms.
How North Korea Became a Defacto Nuclear Weapons State
For starters, let us consider what North Korea has achieved and why.
Pyongyang, despite having an economy smaller than the size of Ethiopia, has built a nuclear arsenal of at least several dozen warheads with missiles that can strike anywhere in the United States, even though its people barely have enough food to eat.
Indeed, the Kim family for decades has prioritized nukes over nutrition, as it knows Washington and its allies hold conventional m-ilitary superiority over the north and nuclear weapons guarantee survival.
As atomic arms technology is straight from the 1940s, we should not be shocked Pyongyang was able to build nuclear weapons and long-range missiles — 1950s technology — to try and deter any designs for regime change from the West.
A DPRK Playbook Th-at Needs to Be Lit on Fire
Sadly, the US and its a-llies have followed the sa-me failed playbook on No-rth Korea over and over for decades: an over-reliance on sanctions that has done nothing to halt Pyongya-ng's atomic ambitions.
By any appreciable mea-sure, sanctions have failed because any North Korean sanctions regimen requires China — North Korea's st-aunch ally — to reinforce it, a laughable proposition at best. Indeed, over 90 percent of Pyongyang's trade moves through China in o-ne way or another, meaning if Beijing does not enforce the embargoes, they are m-eaningless. And, as history has shown, the Chinese Co-mmunist Party, craving stability above all else, does not want to see North Ko-rea destabilized in any way.
This means sanctions are never enforced to the point where Pyongyang feels en-ough pain to consider chan-ging course. And with U.S.-China tensions near historic highs, Beijing senses it is in no position to help Wash-ington with anything unless it gets something in return.
While all of these moves politically show strength and a response that looks like Washington is doing "something" about the issue, nothing could be further from the truth. They only aggravate the situation and allow North Korea to keep building more nukes.
North Korea's nuclear program has reached a massive industrial scale, comprised of thousands of scientists, workers, and facilities with a knowledge base and know-how that would be impossible to erase. Meanwhile, various options for arms control and threat reduction have been floated for years, whereby North Korea would get sanctions relief for a level of caps, controls, or limits on its nuclear weapons and missile programs. While it would be politically impossible to admit that the quest for denuclearization is a false one, a long-term road map could be created for a scaled-back DPRK nuclear and missile program in exchange for sanctions relief that would be implemented over a decade.
A first step would be to trade some sort of sanctions rollback — the permitting of textile exports worth hundreds of millions of dollars — for a permanent ban on North Korean missile testing in the medium-to-ICBM range. That would limit Pyongyang's ability to develop weapons that can hit U.S. bases in Asia and the homeland. If North Korea honored that commitment for 90 days, another small agreement could be reached whereby if the Kim family scrapped its submarine-based nuclear deterrent program, another section of the sanctions regimen could be removed.
This pattern of action-for-action could be implemented over a consistent period time to build trust.
While an action-for-action nuclear threat reduction plan for North Korea will not rid the world of the Kim family's entire nuclear arsenal, such a concept could very well limit and cap its ability to threaten the world by growing forever in size and scope. While neoconservatives w-ill scream appeasement, we would finally see some pr-ogress on the North Korean nuclear issue and be able to test Pyongyang's stated goal of being a responsible nuclear weapons state. Wh-ile even uttering such a phr-ase might not appeal to an-yone, an unchecked expansion of the Kim family's n-uclear weapons program is even more terrifying.

I have had the pleasure of working with Tasnim Khalid at JMWs for my will arrangements. Tasnim knows her field of estate planning inside and out and I feel safe in the knowledge that these arrangements are now in order should anything happen to me. Thank you to Tasnim and JMW who I highly recommend.
I recently dealt with Tasnim Khalid on a complex probate matter. Tasnim quickly grasped the issues in hand and provided a clear explanation as to the work that was required and the course of action to be followed. I found her to be knowledgeable and efficient and she kept me fully updated at every stage of the matter. I also found her advice to be practical and easy to understand whilst also recognising the cost and commercial implications. Her expertise was evidenced in the successful outcome that we achieved and I could not fault the advice and service provided.
Thank you very much for meeting with us yesterday Tasnim. I enjoyed the meeting and felt confident in your offering.
I had put off writing a will for years and just didn't get round to it. Once Maggie's started the Will Writing service, I was really pleased to take part and I got just the encouragement I needed to make the appointment- as I knew my donation would go to help Maggie's Manchester! The solicitor, Tasnim Khalid was wonderful and made me feel very relaxed, she made the whole experience straightforward and just made sure I hadn't missed anything out. It took about 40 minutes and afterwards I immediately felt a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I could forget about it, knowing that everything was now arranged as I wanted. I also wanted to support Maggie's Manchester because they offer an amazing support service to everyone affected by cancer. It was a bonus being able to see the solicitor at Maggie's in the beautiful centre here.
A grateful client's testimonial regarding Paul Gotch's work setting up a Personal Injury Trust.
JMW has set up a Personal Injury Trust for me, to make sure the compensation award I've received is protected. Paul Gotch's work on this has been really helpful; the process has been straightforward, problem-free and I've been left without any complaints. The advice I've received has been top notch and it's meant that I can make the most of my compensation award. "

The salvia pronounced (sal'-vee-uh), is a large, diverse genus of the Lamiaceae (formerly Labiatae) family. The Salvia plant belongs to the mint family (of which it the largest genus) with representative species across the globe.
The common sage Salvia officinalis is extensively grown as a culinary herb for flavoring and seasoning meats.
In this article, we'll look at the perennial salvia plant, meadow sage care; it's growth, use in the garden, pests, pruning and more. Let's get started.
All hold some similarities in how they grow and bloom along with their plant architecture. That is the long version.
The short version – Salvia plants are perennials and biennials.
Shrubs from dainty to the tall, leggy types, vary wildly in type, form, and shape. Salvias are upstanding, very easy to grow plants making such a sight to see in landscapes.
The more popular Salvia plants, Salvia leucantha, and Salvia splendens are native to the Mediterranean, California, and Mexico.
They generally thrive in dry and humid climates. In the garden, they lend a touch of vibrant hue come autumn and summer.
How Do You Take Care Of Salvia Plants?
Sage or Salvia bring a vertical accent with eye-catching flowers, along with fragrant foliage to the outdoor garden landscape.
Let's look at what growing conditions the Salvia needs to "show-off" all their beauty.
Lighting: How Much Sun Does The Salvia Need?
Generally, Salvia plants love the full sun (8-10 hours of direct sun) and can also do well with partial shade.
The best growing location receives morning sun and afternoon shade. However, different Salvia species require slightly different care.
They may also resist cold weather and the occasional frost.
What Is The Best Soil And Fertilizer For Growing Salvia Plants?
Salvia plants do well in any good garden soil, and they are drought-resistant to an amazing degree.
Salvia will tolerate poor soil fertility and drought conditions, but consistent water will produce better results.
Plant Salvia in spring after preparing the garden bed.
Use a tiller or garden fork to loosen the soil (12" to 15" inches deep).
Gradually incorporate 2 to 4 inches of rich compost. Mix in a balanced slow-release fertilizer and fertilize weekly with a water-soluble 20-20-20 liquid fertilizer.
How Much Water Does Salvia Need?
In general, Salvia once established does not need a lot of water.
Although Salvia does handle drought conditions pretty well during periods of drought, provide supplemental watering.
Avoid overwatering as too much water can rot roots.
Applying water right at the soil level is easily accomplished using soaker hoses for deep watering.
Remember, Salvia plants growing in containers may dry out faster and require more frequent watering. Make sure any salvia does not sit in water.
If you find Salvias wilted in the evening after spending all day in the sun, they should recover.
However, if the plants are extremely wilted, you may want to give them some water at the base of the plants and not on the leaves. Water on the leaves may scorch them.
If you notice the potted plants wilted in the early morning, give the plants a supplemental watering.
When Does Salvia Bloom and Does It Flower All Summer?
Salvia blooms throughout the summer months allowing homeowners to add a wide range of color options from white, pale rose, vibrant red, purples and blue.
Flowering perennial salvia plants produce tall spikes of tiny, densely-clustered, rich in nectar flowers above deliciously-scented foliage. These plants grow anywhere from 18" inches to 5 feet tall beauties, depending on the sage variety.
Aside from the remarkable foliage scent and magnificent blooms, the Salvia attracts some of the best neighborhood fauna, while deterring some of the worst.
Animals such as deer, elk, and rabbits lergely ignore Salvia. However, butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds love the tall nectar-rich flowers!
The Salvia also called the "Meadow Sage" produces some of the richest royal blue flowers to elegant purple blooms, all excellent additions to mixed perennial borders, rock gardens and country-style gardens.
Other colors of the meadow sage flowers include orange, white, pink, cerise, and mauve all interesting garden additions.
In short, Salvia plants make the perfect plant for putting on display borders, beds and containers. Flowering profusely the plant can survive droughts and the occasional neglect.
Its flowers provide joy to gardens and owners alike, requiring little maintenance or persuasion to grow during the summer months.
Carefully space plants 1 to 3 feet apart, depending on the variety. As a general rule space plants twice the diameter of the pot, the Salvia came in.
Gently, remove the plant from the container and place it in the hole, with the root ball level with the ground.
Pack in the soil around the root ball and firm it in, and water thoroughly.
After watering, I like to include a little liquid starter plant food for an initial boost.
To keep Salvia compact and tidy, cut them back hard after flowering. Cutting plants down to 3"-4" inches to promote more growth and bloom.
Some varieties after shearing may potentially produce a second flowering.
During mid-summer, Salvia may begin to look overgrown and tired. Rejuvenate the plant by cutting back about ⅓ of the plant to encourage more growth.
To promote more flowers deadhead spent blooms.
Select a good pair of hand pruners like the Felco #2 for the job and remove the old bare bloom spikes.
The typical Salvia branching is opposite each other along with a central leader.
When blooms begin to wither remove the central leader and the opposite branches. This gives more room and promotes new growth and flowers.
Can Salvia Be Split or Divided?
Uproot and divide plants every few years. Early spring is the best time before new growth starts.
Salvia (sage) can grow quickly and re-establish themselves when planting them in new areas.
For replanting, take a sharp spade to dig carefully around the plant's edges.
Next dig right through the middle, dividing the plant up into two clumps. Shake off the excess soil, then quickly replant the Salvia and water thoroughly.
Prune salvia plants down to its roots after the flowering season passes.
Keep your Salvia sage happy. In springtime, put a thin layer of compost, and a two-inch layer of mulch to control the weeds and retain moisture.
What Pests And Diseases Attack Salvia Plants?
Salvia encounters the usual suspects in the garden. For continuous bloom, you need to protect them from these pests.
The deer resistant, hardy 1997 Perennial Plant of the Year is still a best seller.
Easy care, thrives in a hot sunny location, does well planted in groups. Beginning in May the beautiful violet flowers emerge and hold through the summer.
After the "first bloom" cut the plant back for a second bloom. Excellent companion plant to mix with other oranges and reds.
Also known as sage of the diviners, grows in shady and moist locations. Salvia divinorum plant originally came as a native from the cloud forest of Sierra Mazateca, Oaxaca, Mexico.
As a psychoactive plant, some claim it causes spiritual experiences and hallucinogenic encounters. Moreover, it produces mainly through vegetation and releases a few variable seeds.
Known as the blue salvia, grows up to 2 feet tall. This drought-tolerant plant makes an excellent choice for containers, garden beds, and borders.
This native plant from North America caught the hearts of many gardeners as it's easy to grow and blooms all summer.
Should not be confused with the Blue Sage (Salvia azurea), an end-of-season stunner with tall spikes of lovely blue flowers.
The Victoria blue salvia belongs to the same class, Salvia farinacea, also known as mealycup sage or mealy sage.
However, this particular breed amazes everyone because of its long-lasting flowers and tolerance against partial shade. Other breeds under this class include cirrus salvia and evolution salvia.
Red Salvia (Salvia splendens), also known as scarlet sage, grows more than a foot tall with hardiness zones of 10 to 11.
This easy to grow plant also emits a scent from its foliage which keeps deer and rabbits away.
Meanwhile, Lady in Red Salvia (Salvia coccinea) displays vibrant red spikes throughout the whole summer. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and gardeners love it because of its brilliant blooms.
On the other hand, the white sage (Salvia apiana) emerges in summer and grows up to three meters.
Its flowers possess the sexual characteristics of both male and female making it a hermaphrodite species.
Clary sage (Salvia horminum) produces salvia flowers with big pink, white, or purple colors. This type of sage requires a well-drained soil to live.
The blue cloud (Salvia transylvanica) or Transylvanian sage blooms handsome flowers of purple color alongside its lusterless-green foliage.
This salvia plant does well in sunny places and needs deadheading for repetitive flushes of blooms.
Woodland sage or woodland clary (Salvia nemerosa) originally comes from Europe and Western Asia.
Salvia nemerosa comes as an attractive plant anyone can easily grow and propagate.
Black and blue salvia (Salvia guaranitica) displays beautiful cobalt-blue flowers coming out of its dark stems and purple-black buds.
It grows up to three feet tall in cold areas while those in warm regions may reach 6 feet of height. Hummingbirds love this variety of salvia plant.
Desert blaze (Salvia greggii), also known as autumn sage, stuns guests in shops with its clusters of red flowers lying beautifully against its white-edged foliage.
Another interesting variety of the salvia plant is Salvia cardiophylla. It blooms pale blue flowers, produces heart-shaped leaf, and grows very fast. Just make sure you provide a well-drained soil so it can thrive in your garden.
As such, the flowers complement to spring and winter seasons.
For these plants, the best type of environment is a moist and cool one. Shelter them from frost and hot winds by positioning them beside tall shrubs and deciduous trees.
Encourage new growth by cutting old canes during late summer setting up new growth to time perfectly right from autumn to spring.


The founding director of Stirling Prize-winning practice Allford Hall Monaghan Morris was named Liverpool City Region Design Champion by the city's mayor, Steve Rotheram.
Born in the Liverpool suburb of West Derby, Monaghan co-founded AHMM in 1989. The practice scooped the Stirling Prize in 2015 for its Burntwood School project in London.
Liverpool City Region is working on a spatial development strategy and recently secured £100,000 to deliver nearly 50 design review panels for major developments.
His new role will see Monaghan 'kickstart a conversation about the importance of design throughout the city region'.
Rotheram said: 'It is impossible to overstate the importance of the quality of the buildings we live, work in and see every day, for our wellbeing and quality of life.
Monaghan described the appopintment as 'an enormous honour'.
'Liverpool has some of the finest public buildings and spaces in Europe and I hope my role as design champion will help to ensure that new development supports and builds on that legacy across the city region.
RIBA president Ben Derbyshire said he was confident the appointment would be 'hugely positive'.
AHMM has itself worked on a number of schemes in the city, including the new bereavement counselling centre at Alder Hey Children's Hospital which the practice won in competition in 2017.
Monaghan was among a raft of big name architects to sign a letter last month warning prime minister Theresa May of the risks to the profession from Brexit.

Q: Windows Defender/Security deletes my "hello world" program I'm trying to start a new C project using BearLibTerminal, compiling with gcc.
I'm able to compile the hello world, but when I try to launch, Windows Security gives an error, which reads

"Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a
virus or potentially unwanted software."

Shortly after compilation, whether I attempt to run or not Windows deletes the executable.
I can of course disable Windows Security real-time protection, but this seems like a bad workaround. Does anyone know what could be changed so that Windows doesn't think my program is a virus?
Here is the code:
#include "BearLibTerminal.h"

int main()
{
    terminal_open();

    // Printing text
    terminal_print(1, 1, "Hello, world!");
    terminal_refresh();

    // Wait until user close the window
    while (terminal_read() != TK_CLOSE);

    terminal_close();
}

and this is the makefile:
gcc -IC:/foo/include -LC:/foo/bin main.c -lBearLibTerminal -o test.exe

Thanks kindly for the assistance.
EDIT: I seem to have fixed the problem. For some reason, the version of MinGW found here, which is where I was directed to from mingw.org, causes things I compile to be detected as a virus. I removed MinGW completely, and downloaded the version found on SourceForge, and I no longer have the issue. I have no idea if the compiler was somehow compromised, or if Windows Security was just looking out for things made by a specific version of MinGW, but I would note that the version of "Hello World" from the first compiler was 4kb larger than the version from the SourceForge compiler, and likewise the installer was around 6kb larger too.

A: As a temporary fix you can exclude your compilation folder from Windows Defender.

This photograph was produced for the fashion magazine Vogue. Man Ray's girlfriend, Kiki, a singer, actress and model, embodies the ideal of beauty at the time, a chalk white, symmetrical oval face and cherry mouth. Man Ray used the Ivorian Baule mask, probably a copy made for the tourism market, to lend this Western beauty ideal an exotic connotation. In addition, the upright mask seems to be more alive than the recumbent face. The photograph by Man Ray corresponds with the surrealist conception that collisions such as this disrupt everyday reality. The surrealists often used art from Africa and Oceania in undermining the European tradition. In doing so, they did not pay heed to the original context and function of these objects

Unknown protagonists silenced by official sources, the Berbers (or Imazighen, as they prefer to be known) are the group of peoples who since ancient times occupied almost all of North Africa, from the Siwa oasis (west of Egypt) to the Atlantic Ocean, including the Canary Islands, and from the Mediterranean to the south border of the Sahara.
Throughout history they have gone by many other names (Mauri, Libu, Numidians, Gaetuli, Garamantes…) reflecting their internal, geographical, and cultural plurality.
The Imazighen have witnessed numerous migrations, colonisations, and invasions. All have enriched their identity, while reducing their population through assimilationist policies.
However, the Berbers survive. It is calculated that there are currently over 35 million Berber, 20 million in Morocco, while the European and American diaspora account for several million
The Amazigh identity or identities are today reflected above all in their language, TAMAZIGHT, in its different variations (Tarifit. Tashelhit, Tamahaq…). It is also reflected in their awareness of sharing a common legacy of traditions, celebrations, and customs, and finally in their willingness to accept this legacy as their own.
From the late 11th century, major dynasties from North Africa such as the Almoravid (lamțūna) and then the Almohad (masmuda) tried to reunify the Islamic West, reinterpreting Is lam and homogenising and highlighting the Amazigh language ge and culture which became driving forces for Islamisation. However, the influence of the Imazighen did not end there.
At the height of the hegemony of the feudal kingdoms, from the 13th century, a new power came into play, the Marinids. The ties between this emirate with its seat in Fez and that of the Nasrid in Granada were solid, with mutual influences and extensive exchanges. This can be observed in the Alhambra and the major institutional constructions (madrasa, maristan, gates…) but also in everyday ceramic goods. It has even been argued that a Maghrebisation took place in Granada.

Before the Second World War, black intellectuals who studied in Paris saw how European colonial powers suppressed African culture. Central to their thinking was a feasible, collective African identity, Négritude. In using this name, they changed a term with negative connotations, nègre, into a word that can express the value of black culture and history. The Négritude movement formed the basis of the magazine Présence Africaine and the "First Congress of Black Writers and Artists", held in 1956 in Paris. Leading roles were played by the intellectuals Aimé Césaire, Alioune Diop, and Léopold Senghor. They placed great value on precolonial African traditions and art, while also applying modernist strategies in their work, such as alienation, fragmentation, and experimentation.
For black artists in Paris, it was shocking to see important African objects in museums which could scarcely still be found in African countries, a cynical consequence of colonial history. Présence Africaine, which is active to this day, offered a platform to intellectuals who wanted to give shape to a black self-awareness in the modern world, Or as its founder Diop put it, "Présence Africaine is open to the good will of all men (white, yellow, or black) who can help to define African originality and hasten its insertion into the modern world".

Perhaps the administration had this one in the can already. On Tuesday, less than three weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court decided Lucia, President Trump signed an executive order essentially applying the Supreme Court's rationale in Lucia to the hiring of all administrative law judges (ALJs) in the federal government. Entitled, "Executive Order Excepting Administrative Law Judges from the Competitive Service," the order creates a new exception from the federal government's typical civil service hiring process for seemingly all ALJs, or at least those that perform adjudicative functions in regulatory enforcement proceedings. And, perhaps most importantly, tucked into the very end of the order, the order seemingly applies the same exception to removal of ALJs, thus apparently eliminating the requirement that ALJs only be removed for "good cause." Just like the Solicitor General argued should happen, but which the Supreme Court in Lucia expressly refused to address multiple times. Relying exclusively on Lucia, the order states that "ALJs are often called upon to discharge significant duties and exercise significant discretion in conducting proceedings under the laws of the United States." In doing so, it cited the adjudicative functions played by the Security and Exchange Commission's ALJs. The order asserted that, because ALJs perform such important functions, they "must display appropriate temperament, legal acumen, impartiality, and sound judgment." They must also "clearly communicate their decisions to the parties who appear before them, the agencies that oversee them, and the public that entrusts them with authority." The order does not say that the current system does not produce ALJs with these qualities and abilities, but that seems to be implied. The order acknowledged that ALJs historically were appointed through the civil service's examination and competitive service procedures. But Lucia has called the constitutionality of that hiring process into doubt. The order then says, however, that "regardless of whether those procedures would violate the Appointments Clause as applied to certain ALJs, there are sound policy reasons to take steps to eliminate doubt" about the way that ALJs are appointed. As a result, the order creates an exception to the competitive hiring rules and examinations for ALJs. Doing so, according to the order, will alleviate future Appointment Clause challenges across administrative agencies. This exception provides agency heads "with additional flexibility to assess prospective appointees without limitations imposed by competitive examination and competitive service selection procedures." Avoiding these "complicated and elaborate examination processes" also gives agencies "greater ability and discretion to assess critical qualities in ALJ candidates, such as work ethic, judgment, and ability to meet the particular needs of the agency." The order asserts that this change will "promote confidence in, and the durability of, agency adjudications." Most importantly, though, the order applies the same exception to removal of ALJs and also amends 5 CFR 6.4 to read: "Except as required by statute, the Civil Service Rules and Regulations shall not apply to removals from positions" now including ALJs. Without acknowledging what this means in the order's explanation, it appears that removing ALJs will no longer be subject to the typical civil service process which requires, among other things, good cause removal. This is what the Solicitor General argued for repeatedly in Lucia, claiming that the two-levels of protection afforded ALJs also violated the Appointments Clause according to Free Enterprise. This was the result feared by Justice Breyer in his partial dissent in Lucia. Apparently, it did not take long for Justice Breyer's apprehensions to come to pass. This order may conceivably be subject to challenge in the courts. It would seem that these proposed regulatory changes, seemingly implemented without any notice and comment, and apparently contrary to the requirements of the Administrative Procedures Act may face some obstacles before implementation. However, one thing is certain -- the Lucia majority concluded that ALJs had to be more accountable to the executive branch. This order now makes them like any other political appointee – entirely beholden to the head of the agency or the president for his or her job. For good or ill, ALJ adjudicative independence may quickly be a thing of the past.

Front Range Airport Vies For "Final Roundup"
By Jeff Mattoon
If staffers at Front Range Airport (FTG) in Watkins, Colo., have their way, the 2007 Gathering of Mustangs and Legends will occur on its territory. Stallion 51 Corp., a P-51 Mustang flight operation based in Kissimmee, Fla., is planning the four-day event.
Dennis Heap, director of aviation at Front Range Airport, offered many reasons why FTG is the perfect location for the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends.
This first event was last held in Kissimmee in 1999, displaying some 65 P-51 Mustangs and hosting a dozen World War II flying aces. The goal for next year's historic event, the "Final Roundup," is 100 Mustangs and 50 aces—the largest gathering since WWII.
"The 2007 Gathering, besides being a wonderful and exciting event, will prove to be a huge economic tool for the region," says Dennis Heap, Front Range director of aviation. "We could possibly accelerate our approved infrastructure improvements by five years."
Heap, along with a squadron of support from Adams County Economic Development, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Adams County Sheriff's Department, area banks, hotels, CDOT and a small gaggle of war heroes, just to name a few, pitched the idea of using Front Range to the event's site selection team at a luncheon on March 8.
"Every turn with the selection committee seemed to bring an overwhelming positive response. They were clearly not used to having such a large community group represent an airport vying for one of these events," beams Heap.
In his presentation, Heap pointed out significant reasons why FTG is the perfect location for the event. Those reasons included large, unobstructed land mass and full cooperation of the FAA, whose representatives at the luncheon said there would be absolutely no problem with this event being staged under the umbrella of DIA's Class B airspace and that they would take care of everything. Heap also mentioned ample parking and shuttle service, as well as easy and abundant highway access.
The business community lends its enthusiastic support for FTG hosting "The Final Roundup."
Heap said that the spectacular Front Range view of the Rockies is certainly better than any of the views one might get in Columbus, Ohio, another location wrestling for the event. Besides Rickenbacker International Airport in Ohio, Jefferson County Airport is also being considered.
This is a wonderful possibility for the growing airport, but it almost got away.
"We had apparently received a letter from the event organizers, but it was misplaced. We then received a call from them asking if we wanted inclusion, and saying that we might have an ideal location for the event," recalled Heap. "We're very happy they called."
The event is being called the "The Final Roundup" because of the aging group of pilots and crew who flew and maintained these historic aircraft, but it will likely not be the final Gathering of Mustangs. Front Range is eager to offer its facilities for an annual gathering. And why not? Organizers hope to draw some 50,000 people per day for the four-day event.
Bobbi Thompson (left), executive VP of Airport Business Solutions, and Angela West of Stallion 51 Corporation, present the Gathering's site selection criteria.
If Front Range is awarded the 2007 Gathering, they have experience under their belt. For the past two years, FTG hosted the Rocky Mountain EAA Regional Fly-In. Last year, the event drew some 450 aircraft and 13,000 attendees.
The site selection committee will announce their decision sometime this month.

No. 14 Penn State Women's Volleyball Sweeps No. 12 Minnesota
Annie Kubiak | Onward State
By Mackenzie Cullen
No 14 Penn State women's volleyball (14-5, 7-2 in the Big Ten) swept No. 12 Minnesota in three sets (25-18, 27-25, 25-22) Friday night. It was the Nittany Lions' second sweep over a ranked Big Ten opponent this season.
Senior middle hitter Kaitlyn Hord led the Nittany Lions to an impressive victory with 15 kills and a .444 hitting percentage on the night. Fellow teammates Jonni Parker, Allie Holland, and Adanna Rollins also had huge nights and combined for 39 kills.
Penn State started off the first set hot with a 5-2 lead on back-to-back kills from senior opposite hitter Jonni Parker. The Nittany Lions' strong hitting game continued with kills from senior middle hitter Kaitlyn Hord and senior outside hitter Adanna Rollins to bring their lead to 13-6.
The Nittany Lions went on a 3-0 scoring run on kills from sophomore middle hitter Allie Holland and freshman outside hitter Anjelina Starck, quickly giving them a 19-10 lead towards the end of the first set. Senior setter Gabby Blossom and Parker bumped up Penn State's lead to 22-15. Ultimately, the Golden Gophers couldn't catch Penn State. The Nittany Lions won the first set 25-18 on a kill from Hord.
Despite slumping through the first set, Minnesota took a 3-0 lead early in the second set. Soon after, the Golden Gophers earned an 8-2 lead thanks to strong hitting from Stephanie Samedy and Jenna Wenaas.
An ace from Starck brought the score to 17-14, putting Penn State within three points of the Golden Gophers. After tying the set at 24-24, Penn State battled back to take the second set win at 27-25 on a 3-0 scoring run from Rollins, who transferred from Minnesota over the offseason.

The beginning of the third set was a back-and-forth battle between Penn State and Minnesota. After tying the set eight times, the Nittany Lions finally took the lead at 10-8 on back-to-back kills from Parker.
A kill from Starck took the Nittany Lions on a 4-0 scoring run, bringing their lead to 11-8 halfway through the third set. An ace from Quinn Menger brought Penn State's lead to 15-10.
The Golden Gophers took the lead at 18-16 before Penn State regained the lead at 22-20 on a kill from Holland. The Nittany Lions closed out the match with a 25-22 win on a sneaky kill from Blossom.
Parker finished with 16 kills on the night, while Holland finished with 12 a .550 hitting average. Blossom posted a double-double with 44 assists and 14 digs.

Ukraine announced that they would pull their military forces out of Crimea while demanding the release of a naval commander after he was captured by armed men who seized a base in Sevastopol, Crimea, without resistance.
Ukrainian President Oleksandr Turchynov warned that his country would take "appropriate measures" if Rear Admiral Sergei Haiduk and others are not released.
"If by 21:00 (local time) all provocations against Ukrainian troops are not ceased, and Admiral Haiduk and all other hostages, civilian and military, are not freed, the authorities will take appropriate measures," Turchynov said in a statement, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Q: Sprite disappearing when I am trying to move it Im trying to get my sprite to move on touch but seems to disappear on touch then reappear on second touch . I do not know how to fix this to get my sprite to move at the direction I tap.  I have been trying to figure this out for a while but seems I am out of luck. I am hoping someone can point me at the right direction.
      CGSize winSize = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize];
     player = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"Player.png"
                                       rect:CGRectMake(0, 0, 27, 40)];
     player.position = ccp(player.contentSize.width/2, winSize.height/2);
    [self addChild:player z:1];

          (void) registerWithTouchDispatcher
        {
          [[CCTouchDispatcher sharedDispatcher] addTargetedDelegate:self
                                             priority:0 swallowsTouches:YES];
    }

        -(BOOL) ccTouchBegan:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event

    touchLocation = [self convertToNodeSpace:touchLocation];

    CGPoint playerPos = player.position;
     CGPoint diff = ccpSub(touchLocation, playerPos);
     if (abs(diff.x) > abs(diff.y)) {
         if (diff.x > 0) {
    playerPos.x += contentSize_.width;
} else {
    playerPos.x -= contentSize_.width;
}
   } else {
if (diff.y > 0) {
      playerPos.y += contentSize_.height;
} else {
    playerPos.y -= contentSize_.height;
}
    }

A: The syntax of your touch function seems to be different.
try this code instead
- (void) ccTouchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
    CGPoint touchLocation = [touch locationInView: [touch view]];
    touchLocation = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] convertToGL: touchLocation];

    CGPoint playerPos = player.position;

What are the most popular cars – used and new – across U.S.?
By Mark Macesich on January 22, 2020
You might not think that Philadelphia, PA, and Greenville-Spartanburg, SC, have much in common. Or, for that matter, Houston, TX, and Portland, OR.
In fact, all four cities share something with 19 others among the top 50 U.S. metropolitan areas.
What they apparently share is a love of the Ford F-150 pickup truck, the best-selling light vehicle among used cars, trucks and SUVs, helping to make trucks the most popular segment in half the 50 markets. The F-150 also led new-vehicle sales in 20 of 50 metro areas with trucks top sellers in 29 markets overall.
Photo credit: Ford via Newspress USA
The Ford F-150 was the runaway winner among used and new vehicles.
The F-150 was even more dominant among used and new cars state by state, according to iSeeCars, selling most in 32 used-car markets and 22 in new-car markets.
"While pickup trucks are commonly known as being work vehicles, they have evolved to be popular family haulers, as well, thanks to their abundant cargo room and safety features," explained Phong Ly of iSeeCars.com, an automotive research website, which conducted the study.
"The Ford F-150 has been America's undisputed best-selling new vehicle for over 40 years, and it maintains its popularity in the used-vehicle marketplace, as well," Ly said in announcing results of the iSeeCars study. The research looked at almost 20 million vehicle sales for 2019 to determine the most popular used and new cars across the United States by metro area and state.
Other category winners among used vehicles were the Nissan Altima (sedan) and Chevrolet Equinox (SUV) and among new vehicles, Honda CR-V (SUV) and Honda Civic (sedan).
Following are category winners and number of metro areas and states where they captured top billing:
(25 metro areas, 38 states)
Ford F-150, 23 cities, 32 states
Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2 cities, 5 states
Toyota Tacoma, 1 state
(17 metro areas, 3 states)
Nissan Altima, 7 cities, 1 state
Honda Civic, 6 cities, 1 state
Honda Accord, 2 cities, 1 state
Toyota Camry and Toyota Corolla, 1 city each

Chevrolet Equinox, 4 cities, 4 states

For lifting gear, specifically for buckets of lifting platforms, cherry pickers and turntable ladders, maintaining the horizontal orientation of working surfaces on which people move about is essential. The special challenge lies in quickly adjusting the platform to the proper working position and safely maintaining this position.
HOERBIGER has developed a hydraulic solution for these requirements. The working platform is moved into the target position using the force of a standardized hydraulic power unit and the position is maintained reliably with the support of a poppet valve.

Q&A 421: Microdosing With LSD, Fish Oil & Omega-6 Fatty Acid Confusion Cleared, The Latest Coffee Research, Staying Fit In Your Car & Much More!
Ben Greenfield Fitnessview podcast
Ben Greenfield, Dr. Jay T. Wiles
The consumption of coffee, particularly one cup a day, is associated with a 12% lower mortality risk, and then two or more cups of coffee a day—a 41% reduced risk of mortality.
Consuming Coffee & Green Tea Reduces Mortality Risk
If you look, historically, at hunter-gatherer diets, they tend to be, when it comes to omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratios, typically somewhere around 2-1 to 4-1. Our modern Western diet tends to be 20-1 up to 50-1 in favor of omega-6 fatty acids.
Most People Consume Excess Omega-6 Fatty Acids
There's another omega-3 fatty acid called alpha linoleic acid (ALA)—that's a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid, and even though people will turn to things like chia seeds or flax seeds to try and get that ALA, the conversion is remarkably poor. You could make an argument that you can get a decent amount from algae sources, like spirulina and chlorella, but they still don't touch the small cold water fish with a 10-foot pole when it comes to the actual availability of the omega-3 fatty acids.
The Three Types of Omega-3 Fatty Acids: EPA, DHA, & ALA
It's kind of been well-known in health circles for a while that even though brown rice might be a little bit more nutrient-dense than white rice, it can be problematic because of the arsenic content. There's a pretty decent amount of naturally occurring arsenic in brown rice that can do some damage as it accumulates in your body.
Parboiling Brown Rices Reduces Its Arsenic Content
There are two different forms of vitamin D. One is D3 (cholecalciferol)—that's what we get from primarily animal sources, especially oily fish, like mackerel, or sardines, anchovies are really high in vitamin D, herring, trout, salmon. Mushrooms, actually, are rich in vitamin D2. So, D2 (ergosterol), that's a little bit different ... Vitamin D3 is superior—that's undeniable.
Mushrooms Exposed to Sunlight Are High in Vitamin D2
Vitamin D intake is going to vary heavily in terms of supplementation and food sources from person to person as far as what's appropriate for you. And the gold standard is to simply test because it's a cheap ass test. Just test your blood vitamin D levels about every quarter or so, and shoot for a sweet spot of 40-80 [ng/mL].
They found, in patients with a history of heart attack, increasing fatty fish consumption reduced all-cause mortality by almost 30%, and then giving an omega-3 fatty acid supplement, like a fish oil with EPA and DHA, reduced all-cause mortality by more than 50%.
Fish Oil Supplementation Reduces All-Cause Mortality in Heart Attack Patients

We know it's associated with neurological issues, increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, disruption in melatonin production, and then that whole pineal gland thing—it's an actual calcification of the pineal gland, which is also kind of concerning because the pineal gland is very important when it comes to endocrine function.

Q&A 421: Microdosing With LSD, Fish Oil & Omega-6 Fatty Acid Confusion Cleared, The Latest Coffee Research, Staying Fit In Your Car & Much More! - Ben Greenfield


I have a friend who has a father and son cavalier. She had the son first for 6months then got the father. They have only recently started fighting over what seems to be anything and everything. She has tried medication to calm them down, a collar and jacket but nothing seems to be helping. They are both very loving boys but are both very protective and connected to her. She has separated them but when she does they howl for her.

Visitation Academy
Visitation Academy, commonly referred to as Viz, is a community of three schools committed to the education and enrichment of children and young women.
Viewbook Design
We moved to package three individual viewbooks inside one package, illustrating their shared connection to Viz. Featured in every book is a unique visual treatment we developed for the academy's core message: Celebrate the Strength Within. The words themselves represent the academy's values, while the fun, celebratory script encircles the students and seems to emanate from within them. With this overall visual complete, we added flairs of personality to the academy's three schools.
Viz's lower school nurtures young children through the joy of exploration. This imaginative spirit is reflected through the viewbook's bright, colorful palette accented by patterns and minimalist illustrations.
As it was still in the planning process, we made special considerations for Viz's middle school. Our photoshoot featured children in specially made uniforms and relied on the academy's vision for the school in developing its viewbook. Viz envisioned the middle school as a place for vibrant self-discovery and identification, guiding our use of bold typefaces and more abstract imagery.
Viz's upper school builds on the foundation of its sister schools to prepare young adults for college life and beyond. This refinement is expressed in the viewbook's more cultured, realistic style.
The strength of the "Celebrate" messaging established in the Viewbook led to a smooth transition into Visitation Academy's print advertising and email marketing.
With a fresh creative direction supported by custom viewbooks, Viz schools are set to continue their growth and success in developing some of the brightest young minds in St. Louis.

So it's been a week since the event, and I'm as thrilled as I thought I would be! It's nice being able to get everyone's shipments out same day for the most part, taking a full day off of the delivery time for over half our customers. Orders for Mylar Bags and Oxygen absorbers have been steady, including some bulk shipments, and I've started receiving more comments from those finding their way to the blog, which is very exciting. I hope to post a couple of guest articles here in the near future as more folks share their experiences in preparedness and food storage.
One of the things I'm committed to as a part of working from home is to not turn into the slug I was as a teenager! It's tempting to sleep in and work at a slower pace, or sit and watch TV or surf the 'net, and not really take the opportunity to improve all aspects of my life. I have slept a little bit late some of the days since I left my previous job. However, I believe that I've been offered a wonderful opportunity, and I won't squander it. I started this morning with some Wii DDR (Don't laugh; for those who don't know that stands for Dance Dance Revolution). I have put it on the calendar that every day from 8-9am I will do something physical…some days that will mean DDR, or the Wii Fit, while others I plan on walking with the dogs. I also plan on getting some hikes in as well, though usually those will happen on Sundays due to the schedule of getting all the orders out. Part of it is to improve my physical condition, part to prepare for my Appalacian hike later in the year, and part to spend at least an hour a day NOT thinking about everything that needs to be done. Sometimes a job, career, preparedness, video games, or anything can absorb us so completely we forget that we all need to breathe. So that first hour of the day will be my chance to do just that.
I'm also using Microsoft Outlook to schedule tasks I might forget about, such as paying the bills, ordering more product, or doing a particular piece of research. I'm pretty unorganized by nature, and I need to use all the tools at my disposal to overcome that handicap!
Other updates: In the near future, I will be commissioning some improvements for the website, to include a clean version of the LDS Food Storage Calculator…this is a project that I've been meaning to get to for ages and mentioned last year. I actually have a backlog of ideas that I mentioned ages ago that need to be implemented. Every day is going to include a couple of hours for exactly this type of project. With hope I'll have something concrete to deliver to folks in the next 45 days.
We also have one huge long-term project on the table that I hope to unveil officially later in the year. Advice and Beans will be spinning off a software development LLC in the next month (also basically run by me, with a small mostly-volunteer development team); with a small bit of venture capital we have a commitment for, as well as a signficant investment by my wife and I, I hope to offer the preparedness/survival community something very special in the next couple of years. More details forthcoming soon!
As always, anyone with stories, questions, comments, suggestions, please feel free to contact me; I'll always give credit for anything I might post on the site, and I love to learn what others are doing or thinking about!
1) Have a plan – While I hoped that Mylar Bags and Oxygen Absorbers could be a full-time job, I also know the risks of putting all of my eggs in one basket. I actively searched out new product lines (Such as the Gamma Seal Lids, buckets, desiccant, Rothco and some others I haven't even gotten around to selling yet), started some basic advertising, and worked pretty much all the time. While working 16 hours a day is not the way I want to live my life forever, I knew in this case that for every day when I had two incomes coming in, it would better prepare us for when one of those went away. Even if starting a business is not your thing, a part-time job never hurt anyone! The steps below were additional parts of the plan.
2) Save, save, save – Even prior to starting Advice and Beans, my wife and I always saved a good portion of our pay, upwards of 30% or more when we could manage. When I knew I might have to leave my job, that number became more like 50%. Living on less than you make is the best, and some say only, way to build financial security. While it has been easier in recent years due to rising income, dual income, and becoming debt free, I made saving a habit even when I was making $8 an hour as a temporary 12 years ago. Every paycheck, I put money in an envelope, whether it was $5 or some weeks $20. Having even that little savings available to handle some basic emergencies is a lifesaver and can save you from having to put it on a credit card. Some folks say there is never enough money for them to save, and that can be true if you pay yourself last all the time. Pay the savings envelope first when you get paid, and anyone can do it.
3) Give Things Up – My wife and I, while we have some nice things, are also willing to sacrifice when we need to. We cancelled our cable TV over 2 years ago and have saved over $2000 by not having it. I gave up Dunkin Donuts coffee every morning at work, saving $500 a year. Additionally we sold and continue to sell a huge variety of stuff in our household. Books, movies, games, collectibles, we sell all of it. And not only did that make us some extra money to save, it also cleared much of the clutter from our lives. Giving up any one thing might not make one financially secure, but making some regular cuts or selling things you might not use often can help your budget a great deal.
4) Do Something, Anything, to Make Some Extra Money- My original goal with Advice and Beans was to make an extra $20 a day. I figured an extra $7000 a year would make a great difference in my families financial condition. Starting small also meant not writing huge checks and taking unnecessary chances. So in the beginning, I would buy a case or two of supplies and try to sell them on eBay and Amazon. Once I sold out of those, I rolled that money over until I could buy 5 cases at a time and get a better price. Eventually it got the point where the business, while not generating any 'income', was able to buy larger and larger increments of inventory, up to and including multiple pallets nowadays, drastically improving our buying power. I say this to make the point that while sometimes risk is good, it doesn't have to be a part of starting a business as I've heard some say. Sure, I could have started out writing $10,000 checks to suppliers (well, not too many of those)…but only at an unacceptable risk to my family. So for those who are thinking about starting a business…start small and cash-flow your way to big. That's infinitely better than writing some huge checks only to find out you have no market for whatever it is you want to sell.
This whole adventure demostrates exactly why we (or at least I) prepare. Having a couple of years of food on hand certainly provides some comfort in knowing that if the business goes sour, at least I can feed my family. I've learned some new skills, such as researching suppliers, doing complicated taxes, and dealing with beauracracies (oooh, my favorite part!). I've also learned a bit of patience and adaptability…especially these last few months when my best suppliers all flaked and went out-of-stock. When I didn't have big oxygen absorbers, I substituted mediums; now that I am out of mediums, I am substituting smalls for some SKU's. The point is to keep moving forward and building momentum, even when it seems things aren't going great.

Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke Season 2 Will Premiere Soon?
Soon after the fans witnessed the abrupt ending of 'Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke' last year, they've been protesting to get a second season of the show. 'Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke' starring Shaheer Sheikh and Rhea Sharma went off the air in October 2020. The show was doing quite well before the lockdown came into existence. The show was loved by the audiences of all age groups and received positive critical responses throughout its run time. But a sudden announcement that the show will go off air left the loyal fans of the show in deep angst and misery.
The show's TRP went down after the global pandemic hit the nation. Instead of being loved content-wise, the show was unable to gather a lot of audience. With the beginning of shows like KBC and Bigg Boss, hopes for its TRP charts being raising seemed too low. So the makers decided to end the show on a graceful note. The show premiered on 18 March 2019 and aired its last episode on 17 October 2020.
Abir and Mishti as seen in 'Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke.'
The fans and the team of 'Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke' feel that the show ended too soon. But is there a wave of good news for the fans? Is the show returning for a second season? Well, the news and rumors doing the rounds are that the team is preparing to bring back the show with a second season this year. On being asked about the news, the show's cast has also revealed that they've heard the news being true to some extent, but no confirmations regarding the same have been made yet.
Read: Bigg Boss 14: Aly and Jasmine's Relationship, A Topic of Interest for Rakhi?
The show 'Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke' is a spin-off of one of the longest-running shows 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' and was telecasted on Star Plus. It focuses on the protagonists Mishti and Abir, portrayed by Rhea Sharma and Shaheer Sheikh, respectively. Mishti is Naman's daughter who is paternally related to Naitik, Naira's father, as seen in YRKKH. So the show gets into the details by picking up its main plot from the previous show but portraying a completely different story.
The show held an appeal to the youth, and the characters were loved as they had a sense of freshness beholding them. Rhea Sharma portrayed the role of a young girl who is emotional and sensible when it comes to her response. On the other hand, Shaheer Sheikh portrayed a young man who is a poet and a photographer and cherishes freedom. The main leads are referred to as 'Ajib Rajvansh' and 'Angry Chorni' by each other in the show.
They're complete opposites but have one thing in common-their relationship differences with their parents. The show beautifully depicts a modern coming of age love story by weaving different emotions and relationships together. It also portrays the generation gaps and different thought processes of a parent and their child, both being correct and appropriate in their own ways.
Apart from the lead roles, the show also stars Kaveri Priyam as Kuhu Rajvansh, Rupal Patel as Meenakshi Rajvansh, and Ritvik Arora as Kunal Rajvansh, who was later replaced by Avinash Mishra in pivotal roles. The show also has the appearances of many characters from YRKKH who play important roles in the spinoff.
The cast of the show
Shaheer Sheikh is known for his appealing roles in shows like Navya, Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Hi, Mahabharat that have fetched him popularity across the nation. On the other hand, Rhea Sharma is known for her charming acting and has been seen in shows like Tu Suraj Mai Saanjh Piyaji, Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyaar, Laal Ishq. The chemistry between the two leads was one of the most important aspects of its popularity. Rhea's character of an innocent yet loving girl suddenly made her trend on Twitter.
Since it went off the air, the viewers have protested to boycott the channel if they don't bring back the show. Seeing a beautiful and appealing story like this, we, too, hope to get some news about the show being renewed for a second season. If this happens in the near future, it would be no less than a treat to the fans of the show. The show, however, can be viewed on Disney+ Hotstar.

A "JAR" Full of Problems for Financial Services Companies
Menlo Labs has been tracking a malicious email campaign targeting employees of banks and financial services companies. The campaign, which appears to have been active in the U.S. and the UK since August, compromises PCs and other endpoints by tricking victims into clicking on malicious links to archive files. In all of the instances we've identified so far in this particular campaign, the archive files were either .zip or .gz files.
In all of these cases, the malicious payload was hosted on storage.googleapis.com, the domain of the Google Cloud Storage service that is used by countless companies. Bad actors may host their payloads using this widely trusted domain as a way to bypass security controls put in place by organizations or built into commercially security products. It's an example of the increased use of "reputation-jacking"—hiding behind well-known, popular hosting services to help avoid detection. In our most recent Annual State of the Web Report, which analyzed the top 100,000 domains as ranked by Alexa, we found 4,600 phishing sites that used legit hosting services.
These attackers may have chosen to use malicious links rather than malicious attachments because of the combined use of email and the web to infect victims with this threat. Many email security products can detect malicious attachments, but identify malicious URLs only if they are already in their threat repositories. To prevent these kinds of blended threats, visibility and correlation across both email and web traffic is essential.
The following list of malicious files were used by the attacker as the first-stage dropper.
Technical and Campaign Analysis
The following figure depicts the different email addresses that the bad actors used to send malicious emails. Some were created to conduct nefarious activities, while others are likely compromised accounts that have been hijacked.
Emails used once:
Email used more than once:
One of the email addresses was used multiple times. All of the others were used only once.
The following are URL's and payloads from the campaign where we could not ascertain the original email address:
The attackers used two types of payloads to compromise the endpoints: VBS scripts and JAR files. The malicious VBS scripts that we analyzed were highly obfuscated and were most likely created by one of the kits that are widely available to bad actors, which automate the creation of malicious documents.
Consider these three examples:
Transfer invoice.vbs
Transfer.vbs
Bank slip.vbs
We believe these VBS scripts were created with the same kit because all three seem to belong to the Houdini malware family, which we have previously researched and have the following commonalities:
The scripts are highly obfuscated with three nested levels of obfuscated VBScript.
All the scripts are encoded using Base64 encoding.
All three scripts talk to the same CnC domain, pm2bitcoin.com.
The string "<[ recoder : houdini (c) skype : houdini-fx ]>" appears in the last level of obfuscated VBScript.
fud.fudcrypt.com is used as a secondary CnC address in all the scripts.
In addition to executing the embedded VBScript, the script downloads a JAR file from http:/rccgovercomersabuja.org/jre.zip.
Of the JAR files we identified, we believe one file (Swift invoice.jar) belongs to the Houdini/jRAT malware family. We reached this conclusion because it communicated with pm2bitcoin.com. The other JAR files are still being investigated, and we believe they belong to the Qrat malware family. A detailed analysis of these other JAR files will be provided in part two of this blog post.
The Financial Services vertical continues to be a very attractive target for attackers, and Remote Access Trojans (RATs) play an important role in gaining control over a compromised machine within an enterprise. RATs, unlike botnets, are modular in nature and give attackers the ability to access compromised machines and then remotely run commands. This enables the attackers to conduct reconnaissance of a network and change their tools, techniques, and procedures to accomplish their goals, so they don't need to rely on a fully automated botnet built with a defined set of features. Novel ways of gaining endpoint access are always being developed, and will continue to evolve. Financial Services companies can expect to be the target of even more sophisticated malware and credential phishing attacks.

Your credit score, or FICO score, is a number that reflects your financial responsibility and helps lenders decide if you're a credit risk or not. Your score is based on - but not part of - your credit report. It's generated at the time of request, then included with the report.
Payment History - (approximately 35% of your score) The factor that has the biggest impact on your score is whether you've paid past credit accounts on time."
Amounts Owed - (approximately 30%) Having credit accounts and owing money doesn't mean you're a high-risk borrower. But owing a lot of money on numerous accounts can suggest that you are financially overextended and more likely to make some payments late or not at all. Part of the science of scoring is determining how much debt is too much for a given credit profile.
Length of Credit History - (approximately 15%) In general, a longer credit history will increase your FICO score. It shows that you can responsibly manage your available credit over time.
New Credit - (approximately 10%) Opening several credit accounts in a short period of time can represent greater risk; especially for people with short credit histories. Requests for new credit can also represent greater risk.
Types of Credit in Use - (approximately 10%) Your FICO score will reflect a combination of credit cards, retail accounts, installment loans, finance company accounts and mortgage loans. While a healthy mix will improve your score, it is not necessary to have one of each, and it is not a good idea to open credit accounts you don't intend to use.
Your credit score lists up to four reasons why your score is not currently higher. These reasons can be very useful in helping you determine how you might improve your score over time, and whether your credit report might contain errors.
If you already have a high score (for example, 740 or higher), some of the stated reasons for credit concerns may not be very helpful. They may reference the factors that have the least impact on your score, such as: length of credit history, new credit and types of credit in use.
