The violin family of musical instruments was developed in Italy in the 16th century. At the time the name of this family of instruments was viole da braccio which was used to distinguish them from the viol family (viole da gamba). The standard modern violin family consists of the violin, viola, cello, and double bass.
The playing ranges of the instruments in the violin family overlap each other, but the tone quality and physical size of each distinguishes them from one another. The ranges are as follows: violin: G3 to E7; viola: C3 to A6 (conservative); violoncello: C2 to A5 (conservative); and double-bass: E1 to C5 (slightly expanded from conservative estimate).
Both the violin and viola are played under the jaw. The viola, being the larger of the two instruments, has a playing range that reaches a perfect fifth below the violin's. The cello is played sitting down with the instrument between the knees, and its playing range reaches an octave below the viola's. The double bass is played standing or sitting on a stool, with a range that typically reaches a minor sixth, an octave or a ninth below the cello's.
While the cello (which developed from the bass violin), the viola and the violin are indisputable members of the ancestral violin or viola da braccio family, the double bass's origins are sometimes called into question. The double bass is occasionally taken to be part of the viol family, due to its sloping shoulders, its tuning, the practice of some basses being made with more than four strings and its sometimes flat back. Others point out that correlation does not imply causation and say that these external similarities are either arbitrary or that they arose from causes other than a relationship to the viol family. They point to the internal construction of the double bass, which includes a sound post and bass bar like other violin family instruments as a more weighty piece of evidence than the external features. Its origins aside, it has historically been used as the lowest member of the violin family.
All string instruments share similar form, parts, construction and function, and the viols bear a particularly close resemblance to the violin family. However, instruments in the violin family are set apart from viols by similarities in shape, tuning practice and history. Violin family instruments have four strings each, are tuned in fifths (except the double bass, which is tuned in fourths), are not fretted and have four rounded bouts while always having a sound post and bass bar inside. In contrast, the viol family instruments usually have five to six strings with a fretted fingerboard, are tuned in fourths and thirds, often have sloping shoulders, and do not necessarily have a sound post or bass bar.
The instruments of the violin family may be descended in part from the lira da braccio and the medieval Byzantine lira.
One of the most popular and standardized groupings in classical chamber music, the string quartet, is composed entirely of instruments from the violin family: two violins, one viola and one cello. This similarity in the manner of sound production allows string quartets to blend their tone colour and timbre more easily than less homogeneous groups. This is particularly notable in comparison to the standard wind quintet, which, although composed entirely of wind instruments, includes four fundamentally different ways of producing musical pitch.
The octobass, a larger version of the double bass, is a rarely used member of this family constructed in the 19th century. It is extremely unwieldy to play and thus has not found much acceptance; nevertheless, it can be found in some Romantic-era scores and is called for occasionally in modern works. The octobass is played standing and its range typically reaches an octave below the double bass.
Violin octet, an experiment in part to create an even more homogeneous blend of instruments related to the violin.

Minnesota's 7-County Twin Cities Metro Area
December 7, 2016 /0 Comments/in Blog Post /by Erin Olson
The 7-County Twin Cities Metro Area is the most densely populated region of Minnesota. With 2,985,405 residents, it composes over half of the state's population (54.7%). Similarly, 54.6% of the state's currently advertised jobs are found in the Metro region. It contains five of Minnesota's most populated counties and two (Scott and Carver counties) of the fastest growing. The population is generally younger than the rest of the state, with only 11.8% of its population being over the age of 65, according to the U.S. Census Bureau (2014 estimates).
The Twin Cities has become a hub for Information Technology, accounting for 15% of all jobs advertised in the region to date in 2016 (90,888 jobs out of 601,920 total). Information technology positions span a number of industries and verticals, with healthcare IT rising as a clear need in the region.
The table below highlights the top hiring employer, most in-demand occupation, median advertised salary, and number of people per job in the Metro's ten largest communities.

By Ben Swann
As the U.S. moves closer toward all out war in Syria, a lot of what our government seems to base its intelligence on, especially claims of chemical weapon use by they Syrian government, is an impartial humanitarian group called the White Helmets.
You've no doubt, heard of the White Helmets. They have been praised in the media as heroes and have reportedly saved more than 100,000 lives as of April 2018.
But who are the White Helmets really? Are they a legitimate organization or pawns, funded for the purpose of regime change?
Despite a recent U.S. funding freeze for humanitarian aid for Syria, the U.S. continues to fund the controversial group, known as White Helmets.
US State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert yesterday: we "are very grateful for all the work the White Helmets continue to do.. on behalf of the US government and coalition forces.. I just exchanged emails with them the other day… peoples bills are still being paid..' pic.twitter.com/zOoFH9vVYw
— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) April 20, 2018
The White Helmets claim to be a neutral entity in Syria. They say they are just helping people caught in the middle of a civil war. But are they?
Follow the money and you will find numerous ties to government funding from not only the U.S., but the U.K., the Netherlands, Denmark, and Germany.
Untangling these ties to the White Helmets is complicated, so stay with me.
According to their website, the Syria Civil Defense, nicknamed the White Helmets, formed in "late 2012- early 2013" as self-organized groups.
Realizing they needed training, 20 Syrians went to Turkey back in March 2013 to learn from a former British army officer named James Le Mesurier.
Le Mesurier has ties to the failed NATO intervention in Kosovo. He developed a training program for Syrians that included trauma care, command and control and crisis management courses.
He is credited for helping form the White Helmets' structure and operations.
Le Mesurier was able to fund this training program through Mayday Rescue, his Netherlands-based non-profit funded by grants from the Dutch, British, Danish and German governments.
Having served the governments of the UK, US, UN and Gulf States, James Le Mesurier was able to very quickly garner financial support from fervent supporters of Syrian regime change. (Sofie Gran/Aspunvik)
Now, this brings us to December 2013, when the U.K.-based PR machine backing the White Helmets was established.
It's called the Voices Project, set up as a private limited company for public relations and communications activities.
Part of the Voices Project's articles of incorporation state that the organization seeks to "influence public opinion" and "influence governmental and other bodies and institutions regarding reform … legislation and regulation."
Who set up the Voices Project? The first listed director on the articles of incorporation is Jeremy Heimans, the co-founder and CEO of the global PR platform "Purpose" and a co-founder of controversial online activist network "Avaaz".
Though Heimans stepped down from his position with the Voices Project in 2015, his connection to the project is worth noting. Here's why.
In February 2014, New York-based "Purpose" listed a job posting for interns to "help launch a new movement for Syria."
By March 2014, the Voices Project set up The Syria Campaign NGO, which they describe as "a human rights organisation that supports Syria's heroes in their struggle for freedom and democracy."
This, coinciding with the graduates of the Mayday Rescue training establishing new teams in Syria.
Six months later, in October 2014, a conference of these teams came together to establish the Syrian Civil Defense as an official, national organization. They then became known as the White Helmets, thanks to The Syria Campaign.
According to their website, the White Helmets have been directly funded by Mayday Rescue, and a company called Chemonics, since 2014.
Yet there's evidence that both of those organizations started supporting the White Helmets back in early 2013, right around the time the White Helmets claim to have formed as self-organized groups.
Mayday Rescue, as we said, is funded by the Dutch, British, Danish and German governments. And Chemonics?
They are a Washington, D.C. based contractor that was awarded $128.5 million in January 2013 to support "a peaceful transition to a democratic and stable Syria" as part of USAID's Syria regional program. At least $32 million has been given directly to the White Helmets as of February 2018.
The firm has been funded by USAID for years, and carries a record of failures in supporting so-called humanitarian interventions, including in Libya.
What you need to know is that first, this was only part one of our look at the White Helmets.
There are even more dots to connect here, including the relationship between USAID, Chemonics, Jeremy Heimans and Azaaz. We will make those connections in another episode of Reality Check.
But for today, let's make this clear: there are very real questions about the authenticity of the voice of the White Helmets as representative of the Syrian people.
It is also clear that the White Helmets have ties to organizations that are being funded by governments that have been seeking, and right now continue to, seek to overthrow the Assad government and to establish a new regime in Syria.
And yet our media and government act as if the information coming from the White Helmets is coming from an impartial observer. When in fact, it appears to actually be coming from an organization that is being funded with an agenda to see the Syrian government overthrown.

An EPIC Golf Outing raises $85,000
It was an epic day at the 7th Annual Northwest Center Golf Classic as more than 120 players competed in rounds of championship golf at The Golf Club at Newcastle. Golfers got out their putters on the greens and also their wallets to give green: they raised $85,000 to launch EPIC (Expanding Play, Interaction and Communication), a new Northwest Center Kids initiative that will provide early and ongoing support to families of children with autism.
Event host Bill Krueger, former Seattle Mariners ace and Northwest Center's strategic relationship officer, competed with some of his professional athletic pals including former Seahawks defensive end Alonzo Mitz, former Mariners pitcher Erik Hanson, Charlie Furbush, former Mariner and current MLB player, and former Mariners centerfielder Brian Hunter.
Northwest Center Kids to launch EPIC, Critical Therapy for Children with Autism
Kam grabs a slice of "watermelon" from the play food on his family's coffee table. He pretends to eat it, then offers some to Ricky, his dad.
It's more than a happy family moment, says Susannah Major, a Speech Language Pathologist with Northwest Center Kids. "This is huge," she enthuses. "Pretend play is such a prerequisite for language."
My Experiences Growing Up with Autism
Northwest Center welcomes Trevor Pacelli as a contributing writer and photographer. Trevor has drawn on his experiences as a person with autism and his creative talents since he was a child. At 15, he illustrated a children's book about autism awareness written by his sister Briana, "The Kindergarten Adventures of Amazing Grace." At 19, he wrote a book in the "Six-Word Lessons" series to help families understand how a person with autism thinks and feels. He has also written for news outlets such as CNN and, drwing on his degree in film and media studies from Arizona State University, regularly writes about the cinema.

You hear about players chasing championship rings all the time.
You won't have to toil for months or years to get this one. You will need $80,000, however.
Gold & Silver Pawn Shop is advertising an offer for a Super Bowl XLI ring issued to defensive lineman Montae Reagor, who played for the Indianapolis Colts from 2003-06.
The Colts beat the Chicago Bears 29-17 for the championship after the 2006 season, but he missed the second half of the season after suffering a broken orbital bone in a car accident.
The ring features, according to the post, 57 diamonds totaling 2.595 carats.
Now start looking under the couch cushions.

Q: setState updates asynchronously I am refering to the comment below from: https://reactjs.org/docs/state-and-lifecycle.html

State Updates May Be Asynchronous
React may batch multiple setState() calls into a single update for performance.
Because this.props and this.state may be updated asynchronously, you should not rely on their values for calculating the next state.
For example, this code may fail to update the counter:
// Wrong
this.setState({
  counter: this.state.counter + this.props.increment,
});

To fix it, use a second form of setState() that accepts a function rather than an object. That function will receive the previous state as the first argument, and the props at the time the update is applied as the second argument:
// Correct
this.setState((state, props) => ({
  counter: state.counter + props.increment
}));

I am not quite sure what it means. And I found the examples confusing.
So I came up with an example of my own.
If I understand the comments above correctly, then the following not correct?
const [var, set_var] = useState(false);

...

set_var(!var)

I am attempting to set the new state using the value of the current state.
According to the tutorial, this is not correct?

A: It is correct, but there are some cases where it might not work as you expect.
For example, if you use it twice
const [var, set_var] = useState(false);

set_var(!var);
set_var(!var);

would you expect it to go false->true->false ? Because it will not. It will go false->true->true because in the second call the var will not have been updated, and so it will again use !false.
Using the callback form, that will work with the current value of the variable at the moment of the callback execution it will work as expected.
set_var( prevVar => !prevVar )
set_var( prevVar => !prevVar )

this will indeed change it twice and end to false again

2021: Year End Reflections
Looking back at 2021, the Rhode Island Department of Human Services (DHS) demonstrated the power of working together to create meaningful change. Despite an ongoing pandemic, DHS staff worked around the clock to achieve some of the Department's greatest accomplishments to date.
From a legislative perspective, 2021 was one of the most successful years for the Department. For the first time in more than 30 years, families receiving Rhode Island Works (RIW) benefits received a 30 percent benefits increase. The updated rate was issued to Rhode Island households by September 2021 – only a short time after it was signed into law by Governor McKee. Other RIW updates included extending a yearly clothing allowance to all children in RIW households and introducing earned income disregard.
In addition to this needed relief for many families in our State, the Department was also working to distribute stabilization grants to Child Care providers amidst a worker shortage that is being exacerbated by the pandemic.
Aid to Child Care providers came in the form of direct grants totaling $18.6 million during the first phase of the CRRSA stabilization grants (supporting 94% of total providers statewide) and another $5 million administered with LISC from the Child Care Provider Relief Fund. As of the close of 2021, the Office of Child Care also awarded $20.8 million in ARPA ReInvigorate Child Care Stabilization Grants to 559 providers.
Together, with the Governor and the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), DHS is optimistic about what the future holds for our customers and community partners. There is always more we can do to ensure individuals and families have the supports they need to thrive. As we welcome this New Year, it's important to remember in 2021 that DHS:
Developed and launched a streamlined DHS website with the customer in mind. New features included an all-inclusive Apply Now page; an Overview page of all major DHS programs and services; a revamped Child Care page reflecting the growing significance of Child Care to Rhode Island families; and so much more.
Continued to issue Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits timely to over 80,000 households each month throughout 2021. Families also reliably and consistently received extra emergency SNAP -- which brought families to the maximum allotment for their household size -- totaling more than $100 million in benefits issued from April 2021 to December 2021. Recognizing we have more work to do with respect to timeliness, to date, we identified and implemented operational strategies to improve.
Worked with federal partners to offer P-EBT and Summer P-EBT benefits to children from SNAP households and in Child Care settings who may have missed meals due to COVID-19.
Benefits were issued, in some cases retroactively, from October 2020 through August 2021.
Implemented a SNAP text message service called "HealthyRhode | DHS Alerts" so families could receive timely notifications about their case. The service is another tool for customers to help ensure continuity of benefits when forms or other materials are due.
Launched workgroups, trainings and initiatives centered on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) with a focus on race equity to further build a compassionate, caring, and knowledgeable workforce that will also benefit the diverse populations we serve. In 2021, 601 DHS staff members participated in our Multicultural Competency Training Series. In addition, we launched Courageous Conversation Circles (CCC) creating a safe space for employees to have courageous conversations about race and other challenging topics, over 50 staff members participated in these conversations.
The Office of Child Support Services collected a total of $93,355,201.60. Of this total amount of child support collected in Rhode Island during 2021, $75,113,444.96 (more than 80%) was distributed directly to families for a child's benefit.
In 2021, the Office of Child Support Services implemented the many changes brought about by the enactment of the Rhode Island Uniform Parentage Act. This law allows for equal treatment in the establishment of parentage for same-sex couples; recognizes De Facto parentage; and for the first time in the State's history, provides for parentage that arises from children born as the result of surrogacy agreements and assisted reproduction.
Disability Determination Services (DDS) received funding for several 100% federally funded positions by the Social Security Administration (SSA). DDS renewed their focus on accuracy in claims processing and is now ranked #1 in the Boston/New England Region, and nationally RI is now ranked #3 with a 98.1% accuracy rate.
The Office of Rehabilitation Services (ORS) /Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) - Pre-Employment Transition Services (Pre-ETS) provided a total of 987 Pre-ETS services this past school year and 235 Pre-ETS virtual services. Through collaborations with Community Rehabilitation Providers, ORS has introduced Pre-ETS services to well over 5,000 students through Virtual Career Chats and Middle School programming which is available to students as young as 14 years old, services that continue to take place in the community.
Identified several legislative opportunities and garnered the support of the Governor, Executive Office of Health and Human Services, legislative leaders and community partners that will build on the Department's momentum for the 2022 legislative season.
Amid the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan in 2021, DHS collaborated with Dorcas International of Rhode Island, the Catholic Diocese of Providence and the Rhode Island Foundation to provide support for Afghan evacuees who arrived in Rhode Island. The collaboration between the Governor's Office, State agencies, community partners, and others aided resettlement efforts, and helped facilitate the coordination of needed support and services.
These accomplishments would not be possible without our dedicated staff, community partners, and legislators; local and congressional and State leaders who have continued to support Rhode Island families. Recognizing the ongoing impact of COVID-19, our hearts go out to all those who lost loved ones and faced financial hurdles in 2021, and we want our customers to know that DHS won't rest until every Rhode Islander has the same opportunities to succeed now and in the future.
That's the one word that immediately comes to mind when we think of the work DHS has accomplished in 2020 during a devastating, life-altering pandemic.
It wasn't perfect and there's much more to do, but #teamDHS stepped up!
With our lobbies closed and staff working from home or safely distanced at our offices, we:
Advocated for the families and individuals we serve by submitting more than 20 waivers and asks to the federal government and State leadership. It has led to increased resources such as maximum Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for the last 10 months and two emergency RI Works payments to some of the State's most vulnerable families. It has also allowed us to push out recertifications, be more flexible with interviews, secure telephonic signature functionality and get online purchasing privileges for SNAP recipients.
Became the first in the nation this past spring to distribute new Pandemic-EBT (P-EBT) benefits to children who receive free or reduced-price meals in school when school is in session, but the kiddos were then learning at home due to COVID-19. The federal government changed eligibility for P-EBT the 2020-2021 school year, but we were able to get these benefits out again for August and September 2020 – one of only 20 States to do so. Retroactive benefits for October, November and December 2020 will be issued by the end of 2021.
Regulated summer camps, a new responsibility DHS volunteered to do to ensure safe environments for the more than 100 summer camp programs that were approved to serve 19,000 youth.
Safely reopened child care in Rhode Island to pre-COVID-19 provider numbers with new regulations. We continue to support these mostly small businesses, including paying providers using CCAP Temporary Enhanced COVID-19 rates.
Continued to improve operations and customer experience with staff suggestions and feedback as well as increase employee trainings and resources. The Department also moved forward with its strategic plan (called DHS Blueprint) and program model innovations. This work has included revamping SNAP outreach, new how-to guides for using the online Customer Portal and two new, needed guiding principles that you can read more about below.
Eliminated the Category 1 waitlist at the Office of Rehabilitation Services (ORS) and implemented a plan for the Category 2 and 3 waitlists.
We could list more from all of our teams, including the Office of Child Support Services who led the way to get the necessary Parentage Act approved this year. It went into effect on Jan. 1, 2021.
Again, we accomplished all of this during a global health crisis while simultaneously supporting our amazing leader Governor Raimondo and sister agencies, including RI Department of Education (RIDE), RI Department of Health (RIDOH), and the Department of Children, Youth and Familes (DCYF), with critical equity and COVID-19 measures that are positioning Rhode Island to be better than it was before the pandemic.
Proud may be word that immediately comes to mind, but thankful is right on its heels. We couldn't think of a better Governor, cabinet colleagues, community partners and staff to have done this work with.
We look forward to accomplishing even more with everyone in 2021!
As 2019 came to a close, it was important to reflect on the agency's progress as we begin another year. Over the last year, the agency continued its priority work aligned with its seven Guiding Principles. DHS started off the year by opening a new regional office in Middletown, improving its delivery of services to Aquidneck Island customers and strengthening the agency's partnership with Child & Family. DHS ended the year by successfully transferring the Child Care Licensing Unit from DCYF to the DHS Child Care Assistance Program to strengthen and deliver high-quality child care services and better support the early childhood education workforce
Considerable progress was made with RI Bridges system improvements and lobby operations to support our customers. The agency now has 38% shorter wait times for the DHS Call Center, 92% shorter wait times for recertification interviews via phone, 15% of applications and 32% of all documents are now submitted online. DHS continues to inspire confidence among its customers, represented by a 98% satisfaction rate for the DHS call-in line, and an average score of 4.8 out of 5 (very satisfied).
Additional agency accomplishments over the past year include:
DHS' proposed RI Works (RIW) legislation passed to remove the 24-month time clock for RIW families. Starting January 1, 2020, families now have the opportunity to receive 48 months of continuous benefits.
DHS has maintained progress related to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) timeliness since December 2018, which led to the dismissal of the Gemmell lawsuit.
The Office of Rehabilitation Services reduced the waitlist for its most significantly disabled (Category 1) customers by 50 percent.
The Office of Child Support Services continued to assist its walk-in customers from start to finish in 20 minutes. The Office also celebrated 5 years of its Cozy Closet donations for customers.
The Center for Staff Development and Learning team conducted 2,449 hours of training this year.
DHS celebrated its inaugural class of adult Project SEARCH interns, who graduated after receiving hands-on lessons from Lifespan's Rhode Island Hospital employees and Goodwill Industries of RI instructors.
The Preschool Development grant has the State poised for expanding pre-K, and a new parent-focused early education website was launched.
DHS worked in partnership with DCYF to tailor communication pathways and application procedures for key populations.
DHS seeded principles of continuous quality improvement throughout its operations, specifically empowering the supervisory team to lead on developing quality eligibility workers through ongoing observation and coaching.
DHS initiated the Quality Assurance Oversight Committee.
DHS will build on the progress of the past year to continue to provide high-quality customer service to our customers and improve our systems. In looking ahead, DHS will focus its efforts to:
Continue to reduce wait times for our customers.
Debut a shorter, easier to understand DHS application that has 23% fewer pages and 54% less text.
Pilot family-centered programs to assist RI Works young parents in achieving their employment goals while building confidence to be successful for years to come.
Work with the Department of Health (DOH) to have cross enrollment strategies for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) services.
Support strategies by our Community Action Agency partners, such as a mobile LIHEAP intake worker, to increase benefits access.
Work with our community partners and legislators to increase tiered child care reimbursement rates, an investment that has proven results and contributes to the high-quality education and care of our children.
Build on the expansion of SNAP E&T to ensure all DHS customers have access to high-quality employment and training opportunities if they need them.
Continue with the cross agency work to streamline the delivery of LTSS services, including system upgrades for staff and improved communications.
We can only do this critical work because of our dedicated and hard-working staff, along with our community partners, legislators, fellow cabinet leaders, and the Governor. While we should celebrate our progress, we know more work is needed. We share Governor Gina Raimondo's commitment to help all, reduce poverty and achieve equity.
That is the goal, and like in 2019, we will do it together.

Isiolo has been selected to host a meat processing and export centre in a joint inter-county initiative to modernise pastoralism. Governors Mohammed Kuti (Isiolo) and Ndiritu Muriithi (Laikipia) agreed that Isiolo is ideal for the centre because it is home to the biggest slaughterhouse in the region and an international airport. The slaughterhouse has a capacity of processing 150,000 animals per year. Four counties – Baringo, Laikipia, Samburu and Isiolo – are working together to tap on the vast potential of livestock business in the region under the Amaya Triangle Initiative. "We want to turn livestock keeping in these counties into commercial ventures," said Mr Kuti after a breakfast meeting with Muriithi in Nanyuki. According to the leaders, the inter-county initiative will introduce modern technology in livestock keeping. "We think as a region that we can use the slaughterhouse as the key to modernising pastoralism under the Amaya Triangle Initiative," said Kuti.

Guy Who Tried to Frame Me In Heroin Plot Pleads Guilty to Cybercrime Charges
A Ukrainian man who tried to frame me for heroin possession has pleaded guilty to multiple cybercrime charges in U.S. federal court, including credit card theft and hacking into more than 13,000 computers.
Sergei "Fly" Vovnenko, in an undated photo. In a letter to this author following his arrest, Vovnenko said he forgave me for "doxing" him — printing his real name and image — on my site.
Sergey Vovnenko, 29, entered a guilty plea in Newark, New Jersey to charges of aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Prosecutors said Vovnenko operated a network of more than 13,000 hacked computers, using them to harvest credit card numbers and other sensitive information.
When I first became acquainted with Vovnenko in 2013, I knew him only by his many hacker names, including "Fly" and "Flycracker," among others. At the time, Fly was the administrator of the fraud forum "thecc[dot]bz," an exclusive and closely guarded Russian language board dedicated to financial fraud and identity theft.
After I secretly gained access to his forum, I learned he'd hatched a plot to have heroin sent to my home and to have one of his forum lackeys call the police when the drugs arrived.
I explained this whole ordeal in great detail last fall, when Vovnenko initially was extradited from Italy to face charges here in the United States. In short, the antics didn't end when I foiled his plot to get me arrested for drug possession, and those antics likely contributed to his arrest and to this guilty plea.
The aggravated ID theft charge to which Vovnenko pleaded guilty carries a mandatory two-year sentence. The other charges he copped to will lengthen his sentence and include fines. His sentencing is currently slated for May 2, 2016. The indictment against Vovnenko is here (PDF). A copy of his plea agreement is at this link (PDF).

Hacker Who Sent Me Heroin Faces Charges in U.S.
A Ukrainian hacker who once hatched a plot to have heroin sent to my Virginia home and then alert police when the drugs arrived had his first appearance in a U.S. court today, after being extradited to the United States to face multiple cybercrime charges.
Sergey Vovnenko, a.k.a. "Fly," "Flycracker" and "MUXACC1" (muxa is transliterated Russian for "муха" which means "fly"), was set to appear in a Newark courtroom today on charges of stealing and selling credit card and banking data, emptying bank accounts, and running a botnet of more than 12,000 hacked computers and servers, among other alleged crimes.
Fly replies to my direct messages telling him I know his real name and where he lives.
I first became acquainted with Fly in 2013, when his Twitter persona (warning: images here may not be safe for work) began sending me taunting tweets laced with epithets and occasional attempts to get me to click dodgy-looking Web links. Fly also took to his Livejournal blog to post copies of my credit report, directions to my home and pictures of my front door.
After consulting with cybercrime researchers at Russian security firm Group-IB, I learned that Fly was the administrator of a closely-guarded but now-defunct cybercrime forum dedicated to financial fraud called thecc[dot]bz ("cc" is a reference to credit cards).
Not long after that, I secretly gained access to his forum. And none too soon: In one lengthy discussion thread on the forum, I found that Fly had solicited donations from fellow fraudsters on the forum to donate Bitcoin currency for a slush fund Fly created for the express purpose of purchasing heroin off of the Silk Road — which was at the time the leading source of illicit drugs on the Dark Web.
Flycracker discussing the purchase of a gram of heroin from Silk Road seller "10toes."
Fly's plan was simple: Have the drugs delivered to my home in my name, and then spoof a call from one of my neighbors to the local police informing them that I was a druggie, that I had druggie friends coming in and out of my house all day long, and that I was even having drugs delivered to my home.
The forum members took care to find the most reputable sellers of heroin on the Silk Road. After purchasing a gram of the stuff from the Silk Road's top smack seller — a drug dealer who used the nickname "Maestro" — Fly posted the USPS tracking link for the package into the discussion thread on his forum.
An ad for heroin on the Silk Road.
At that point, I called the local police and had a cop come out to take an official police report. The officer asked me to contact him again if the drugs actually arrived. Three days later, our local Postal Service carrier hand delivered a thin USPS Express Mail envelope that was postmarked from Chicago. Inside was another blank envelope containing a May 2013 copy of Chicago Confidential, a weekly glossy magazine from the Chicago Tribune.
On the back of the magazine, taped to a full-page ad for jewelry from LesterLampert, were a baker's dozen individually wrapped packets emblazoned with the same black and gold skull motif that was on Maestro's Silk Road ad. I immediately contacted the police, who came and dutifully retrieved the drugs, which turned out to be almost pure heroin.
12 packets of what appears to be heroin arrived at my home via the Silk Road on July 29, 2013.
I wrote about the experience of foiling Fly's plan in a story titled Mail From the (Velvet) Cybercrime Underground. This did not sit well with Fly, who was made to look bad in front of his forum members who'd contributed roughly two Bitcoins to the scheme.
Angry that I'd foiled his plan to have me arrested for drug possession, Fly had a local florist send a gaudy floral arrangement in the shape of a giant cross to my home, complete with a menacing message that addressed my wife and was signed, "Velvet Crabs."
The floral arrangement that Fly had delivered to my home in Virginia.
After this incident, I became intensely curious about the identity of this Fly individual, so I began looking through databases of hacked carding and cybercrime forums. My first real break came when Group-IB provided a key piece of the puzzle: Group-IB researchers found that on the now-defunct vulnes[dot]com, Fly maintained an account under the nickname Flycracker, and signed up with the email address mazafaka@libero.it(.it is the country code for Italy).
According to a trusted source in the security community, that email account was somehow compromised in 2013. The source said the account was full of emailed reports from a keylogging device that was tied to another email address — 777flyck777@gmail.com (according to Google, mazafaka@libero.it is the recovery email address for 777flyck777@gmail.com).
Those keylog reports contained some valuable information, and indicated that Fly had planted a keylogger on his then-fiancee Irina's computer. On several occasions, those emails show Fly's wife typed in her Gmail address, which included her real first and last name — Irina Gumenyuk. Continue reading →

The 'Fly' Has Been Swatted
A Ukrainian man who claimed responsibility for organizing a campaign to send heroin to my home last summer has been arrested in Italy on suspicion of trafficking in stolen credit card accounts, among other things, KrebsOnSecurity.com has learned.
Passport photo for Sergei "Fly" Vovnenko. He was arrested in Naples, Italy earlier this month.
Last summer, appropos of nothing, an infamous cybercrook known as "Fly," "Flycracker" and "Muxacc" began sending me profane and taunting tweets. On top of this, he posted my credit report on his blog and changed his Twitter profile picture to an image of an action figure holding up my severed head.
The only thing I knew about Fly then was that he was the founder and administrator of a closely-guarded Russian-language crime forum called thecc.bz (the "cc" part referring to credit cards). Fly also was a trusted moderator on Mazafaka, one of the most exclusive and venerable Russian carding forums online today.
Shortly after Fly began sending those nasty tweets, I secretly gained access to his forum, where I learned that he had hatched a plot to buy heroin on the Silk Road, have it shipped to my home, and then spoof a call from one of my neighbors to the local police when the drugs arrived (see Mail from the Velvet Cybercrime Underground).
Thankfully, I was able to warn the cops in advance, even track the package along with the rest of the forum members thanks to a USPS tracking link that Fly had posted into a discussion thread on his forum.
Irina Gumenyuk-Vovnenko's lists her hometown as Naples in her Odnoklassniki.ru profile.
After this incident, I became intensely curious about the identity of this Fly individual, so I began looking through databases of hacked carding and cybercrime forums. My first real break came when Russian computer forensics firm Group-IB provided a key piece of the puzzle (they also were quite helpful on the heroin sleuthing as well). Group-IB found that on the now-defunct vulnes[dot]com, Fly maintained an account under the nickname Flycracker, and signed up with the email address mazafaka@libero.it (.it is the country code for Italy).
According to a trusted source in the security community, that email account was somehow compromised last year. The source said the account was full of emailed reports from a keylogging device that was tied to another email address — 777flyck777@gmail.com (according to Google, mazafaka@libero.it is the recovery email address for 777flyck777@gmail.com).
Those keylog reports contained some valuable information, and indicated that Fly had planted a keylogger on his wife Irina's computer. On several occasions, those emails show Fly's wife typed in her Gmail address, which included her real first and last name — Irina Gumenyuk.
Later, Gumenyuk would change the surname on her various social networking profiles online to Vovnenko. She even mentioned her husband by name several times in emails to friends, identifying him as 28-year-old "Sergei Vovnenko". Payment information contained in those emails — including shipping and other account information — put the happy couple and their young son in Naples, Italy. Continue reading →
A Little Sunshine / The Coming Storm / Web Fraud 2.0 — 137 Comments
Mail from the (Velvet) Cybercrime Underground
Over the past six months, "fans" of this Web site and its author have shown their affection in some curious ways. One called in a phony hostage situation that resulted in a dozen heavily armed police surrounding my home. Another opened a $20,000 new line of credit in my name. Others sent more than $1,000 in bogus PayPal donations from hacked accounts. Still more admirers paid my cable bill for the next three years using stolen credit cards. Malware authors have even used my name and likeness to peddle their wares.
"Flycracker," the administrator of thecc.bz crime forum, hatches plan to send drugs to my home.
But the most recent attempt to embarrass and fluster this author easily takes the cake as the most elaborate: Earlier this month, the administrator of an exclusive cybercrime forum hatched and executed a plan to purchase heroin, have it mailed to my home, and then spoof a phone call from one of my neighbors alerting the local police. Thankfully, I had already established a presence on his forum and was able to monitor the scam in real time and alert my local police well in advance of the delivery.
This would-be smear campaign was the brainchild of a fraudster known variously online as "Fly," "Flycracker," and MUXACC1 (muxa is transliterated Russian for "муха" which means "fly"). Fly is the administrator of the fraud forum "thecc[dot]bz," an exclusive and closely guarded Russian language board dedicated to financial fraud and identity theft.
On July 14, Flycracker posted a new forum discussion thread titled, "Krebs Fund," in which he laid out his plan: He'd created a bitcoin wallet for the exclusive purpose of accepting donations from other members. The goal: purchase heroin in my name and address from a seller on the Silk Road, an online black market that is only reachable via the Tor network. In the screenshot pictured above, Flycracker says to fellow members:
"Guys, it became known recently that Brian Krebs is a heroin addict and he desperately needs the smack, so we have started the "Helping Brian Fund", and shortly we will create a bitcoin wallet called "Drugs for Krebs" which we will use to buy him the purest heroin on the Silk Road. My friends, his withdrawal is very bad, let's join forces to help the guy! We will save Brian from the acute heroin withdrawal and the world will get slightly better!"
Together, forum members raised more than 2 bitcoins – currently equivalent to about USD $200. At first, Fly tried to purchase a gram of heroin from a Silk Road vendor named 10toes, an anonymous seller who had excellent and plentiful feedback from previous buyers as a purveyor of reliably good heroin appropriate for snorting or burning and inhaling (see screnshot below).
For some reason, that transaction with 10toes fell through, and Flycracker turned to another Silk Road vendor — Maestro — from whom he purchased a dozen baggies of heroin of "HIGH and consistent quality," to be delivered to my home in Northern Virginia earlier today. The purchase was made using a new Silk Road account named "briankrebs7," and cost 1.6532 bitcoins (~USD $165).
Flycracker ultimately bought 10 small bags of smack from Silk Road seller "Maestro." The seller threw in two extra bags for free (turns out he actually threw in three extra bags).
In the screen shot below, Fly details the rest of his plan:
"12 sacks of heroin [the seller gives 2 free sacks for a 10-sacks order] are on the road, can anyone make a call [to the police] from neighbors, with a record? Seller said the package will be delivered after 3 days, on Tuesday. If anyone calls then please say that drugs are hidden well."
Last week, I alerted the FBI about this scheme, and contacted a Fairfax County Police officer who came out and took an official report about it. The cop who took the report just shook his head incredulously, and kept saying he was trying to unplug himself from various accounts online with the ultimate goal of being "off the Internet and Google" by the time he retired. Before he left, the officer said he would make a notation on my report so that any officer dispatched to respond to complaints about drugs being delivered via mail to my home would prompted to review my report.
FOLLOWING THE MONEY
I never doubted Flycracker"s resolve for a minute, but I still wanted to verify his claims about having made the purchase. On that front I received assistance from Sara Meiklejohn, a graduate student at the University of California, San Diego who's been analyzing the role of bitcoin and anonymity on the Silk Road. Meiklejohn confirmed that the bitcoin wallet linked to in Fly's forum thread was indeed used to deposit two bitcoins into a purse controlled by anonymous individuals who help manage commerce on the Silk Road.
Meiklejohn and fellow researcher Damon McCoy, an assistant professor of computer science at George Mason University, have been mapping out a network of bitcoin wallets that are used exclusively by the curators of the Silk Road. If you wish to transact with merchants on the Silk Road, you need to fund your account with bitcoins. The act of adding credits appears to be handled by a small number of bitcoin purses.
"All Silk Road purchases are handled internally by Silk Road, which means money trades hands from the Silk Road account of the buyer to the Silk Road account of the seller," explained Meiklejohn, author of the paper, A Fistful of Bitcoins: Characterizing Payments Among Men with No Names, to be released in October 2013 at the ACM Internet Measurement Conference in Barcelona, Spain.

Shout out to Kanye West and Rob Bell, who inspired the following content with their individual creative genius. This is for all the people out there who currently find themselves in a season of life where they just can't catch a break and have no f-ing clue what's happening. Come. Join me in my little wave mantra.
I am getting pounded by waves. Waves never come alone. They come in sets. They pummel you, sending your whole body into a vicious spin cycle. Your muscles get tired. You can't see what is happening. You can't fill your lungs with precious gulps of air. You don't know which way is up or down, left or right.
This moment is not all moments. The wave will come. It will pound me. It will pass over me. Then I will come up for air.
When you're tossing and turning in every direction, you will want to thrash your body against the water. Your heart and mind will want to frantically conjure up all the worst case scenarios: What if I don't make it? What if this doesn't work out? What if I don't have the money? What if I get rejected? What if this person doesn't come through?


When Dara Sarsour's teacher reached the weight of 176 kilos, he realised that it was time for a severe change.
The 35-year-old is grown up surrounded by food. In his family, the food gathered the family and was at the centre of each gathering. His mother's speciality was fried food, and growing up, he always listened not to be allowed to leave the table until he had eaten anything.
As a boy, he was engaged in sports, so he was not a problem, but with less and more years he became more busy with other commitments.
He started working at school, he did not have much time for exercise, and the kilo had begun to accumulate.
"When I was older, I was less active. My choices were getting worse, and I was getting thicker, "he told Dana.
For years he was scared of scales, and then in February, he stopped at her. He had 176 pounds. He felt frustrated, disappointed, and realised that he lost control of life.
"I was angry at myself. I realized I had to do something, "she says.
He decided to undergo a stomach operation, but before that he had to lose weight a few pounds. He began to follow a strict diet regime and feed on protein, fruit and vegetables. He was not comfortable entering the gym so he started to walk. After several months he was able to walk a few kilometers.
At the end of the surgery he never left. He managed to lose weight alone, thanks to the power of his own mind and determination. It was 80 kilograms.
"I'm stronger than I ever could think. I'm more confident. I can run. I can do burpees and planks. These are the small victories I enjoy, "concludes Sarshuri, who is today the second man.

The Higher Education Opportunity Act Of 2008 (HEOA) requires institutions of higher education to establish and follow a Code of Conduct with respect to student loans that prohibits conflicts of interest for any financial aid professional participating in the administration of educational loan programs. Young Harris College (the "College") is an eligible institution under the Federal Insured Student Loan Program.
In accordance with this requirement, the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid at Young Harris College has issued the following conflict of interest policy and code of conduct.
The purpose of this policy is to prohibit conflicts of interests in situations involving student financial aid and to establish standards of conduct for employees with responsibility for student financial aid.
This Policy applies to all employees who work in the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid and all other College employees who have responsibilities related to education loans or other forms of student financial aid. Agents of the College with responsibility for education loans or other student financial aid are also expected to abide by the terms of this policy.

3. Favorable terms, conditions and borrower benefits on an education loan provided to a student employed by the College or an employee who is the parent of a student if such terms, conditions or benefits are comparable to those provided to all students of the College and are not provided because of the student's or parent's employment with the College.
4. Exit counseling services provided to borrowers to meet the College's responsibilities for entrance and exit counseling under federal law, so long as the College's employees are in control of the counseling, and such counseling does not promote the products or services of any specific lender.
5. Philanthropic contributions to an institution from a lender, servicer or guarantor of education loans that are unrelated to education loans or any contribution from any lender, guarantor or servicer that is not made in exchange for any advantage related to education loans.
6. State education grants, scholarships or financial aid funds administered by or on behalf of a State.
C. Opportunity pool loan: A private education loan made by a lender to a student attending the College or the family member of such a student that involves a payment, directly or indirectly, by the College of points, premiums, additional interest or financial support to such lender for the purpose of such lender extending credit to the student or the family.
D. Revenue-sharing arrangement: An arrangement between the College and a lender under which (a) a lender provides or issues a loan to students attending the College or to their families; and (b) the College recommends the lender or the loan products of the lender, and in exchange, the lender pays a fee or provides other material benefits, including revenue or profit sharing, to the College or its employees.
A. Revenue-Sharing Arrangements. The College or any agent of the College will not enter into any revenue-sharing arrangement with any lender.

E. Meals. Employees may occasionally need to share meals with employees of lenders, guaranty agencies, the State of Georgia or other colleges or universities in the course of business.

1 metre long waney edge board with a width range of 16-21cm by 25 / 30mm thick. Width will vary slightly over the length of the board. May contain some slight splits due to kiln drying process.
If you leave a note when ordering on what you intend to use the board for, I will try to select one that meets the requirement. For example, some boards are more highly figured, but have the odd knot in them. If you're cutting the board into smaller sections, this would not be a problem, but if you were using the board whole it may be. Also, some highly figured boards have defects on one side only - not a problem if the item being made is only visible from one side.

Kaczka – północna część miasta Tomaszowa Mazowieckiego w województwie łódzkim, w powiecie tomaszowskim, położona na lewym brzegu Pilicy. Rozpościera się w rejonie ulicy Spalskiej.

Historia
Podoba to dawna wieś włościańska i rządowa. W latach 1867–1954 należała do gminy Lubochnia w powiecie rawskim, początkowo w guberni piotrkowskiej, a od 1919 w woj. warszawskim. Tam 20 październia 1933 weszła w skład gromady o nazwie Kaczka w gminie Lubochnia, składającej się ze wsi Kaczki, osady-gajówki Cygan, osady-gajówki Chrzemce, osady Łąki Bryńskie i osady Łąki Henrykowskie. 1 kwietnia 1939 wraz z resztą powiatu rawskiego została włączona do woj. łódzkiego.

Podczas II wojny światowej Kaczkę włączono do Generalnego Gubernatorstwa (dystrykt radomski, powiat tomaszowski), nadal w gminie Lubochnia. W 1943 roku liczyła 2842 mieszkańców, będąc największą wsią gminy i piątą największą miejscowością powiatu tomaszowskiego.

Po wojnie ponownie w województwie łódzkim i powiecie rawskim. 3 grudnia 1947 z gromady Kaczka wyłączono osady-gajówki Cygan i Chrzemce – włączając je do Luboszew, osadę Łąki Bryńskie – włączając ją do Brenicy i osadę Łąki Henrykowskie – włączając ją do Henrykowa. Rok później, 1 stycznia 1949, samą Kaczkę włączono do Tomaszowa Mazowieckiego.

Husband killed wife before taking his own life, coroner concludes
Updated: 3:26 PM December 14, 2021

A National Trust volunteer was strangled by her husband at their Woodbridge home before he took his own life, a coroner's court heard.
Sally Metcalf, 68, worked at Sutton Hoo as a volunteer alongside husband Jonathan Metcalf, 72, and the couple were described as "popular members of the team" who would "rarely do anything apart", Suffolk Coroner's Court heard in two separate inquests on Tuesday.
On April 10, 2021, police were called to the couple's address in Cumberland Street, Woodbridge, by Mrs Metcalf's brother, Richard Card, who had obtained keys from a neighbour following a lack of contact over several days.
The body of Mrs Metcalf was found lying on the bed upstairs in the property while Mr Metcalf was discovered dead downstairs, the court heard.
Jonathan Metcalf pictured in 2009 - Credit: Archant
A post-mortem examination revealed Mrs Metcalf died from compression of the neck caused by strangulation or the use of a neck or choke hold.
In Mr Metcalf's case, the cause of death was recorded as hanging.
The couple's much-loved elderly cat was also discovered dead at the scene but was found to have died from natural causes, Nigel Parsley, senior coroner for Suffolk, said.
Mr Parsley said there was no evidence to suggest the death of the cat was a trigger for Mr Metcalf, or any evidence regarding the time of death of the cat.
The inquests heard that Mr Metcalf suffered from depression and was a recovering alcoholic.
He received treatment at The Priory clinic around eight years ago and spent six weeks there.
Mr Metcalf had recently become "severely depressed" and had been prescribed medication, Joanna Cunningham, Mrs Metcalf's sister, said in a statement.
Ms Cunningham said she spoke regularly with Mrs Metcalf on the telephone from her home in Gloucestershire but was sometimes unable to talk in-depth about Mr Metcalf's condition as her sister did not want to upset him.
Mrs Metcalf also confided that she was worried about leaving her husband alone due to his "deteriorating" mental state.
In a statement, Allison Girling, property operations manager at Sutton Hoo, described Mrs Metcalf as a "reliable, friendly person" and said the historic Anglo-Saxon burial site was "a large part of her life".
Ms Girling added that the couple, who moved to Suffolk for retirement, were popular members of the team and would do everything together.
Mr Metcalf's sister, Patricia Lewis, said in a statement she last spoke to her brother a few days before the incident and he seemed fine.
She said he was "devoted to his wife" and it was an "unimaginable turn of events".
Detective Sergeant Simon Fitch, from Suffolk Constabulary, gave evidence at both inquests regarding the police investigation.
He told the court there was no forensic evidence of any third party involvement.
The final hypothesis of the police investigation was that Mr Metcalf killed Mrs Metcalf before taking his own life, DS Fitch said.
Mr Parsley concluded that Mrs Metcalf died as a result of an unlawful killing while Mr Metcalf died as a result of suicide.

Sandy, UT – A new free mobile application from OSHA is intended to help workers and supervisors monitor the heat index at their worksites.
The app, released Aug. 11 and available in English and Spanish, uses heat index data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the worker's location to determine protective measures. Based on the level of risk, the app recommends precautions, such as drinking fluids and adjusting work operations.
Workers can use the app to review the symptoms of heat-related illnesses and steps for first aid, and the app gives supervisors access to information on training workers on heat-related problems.
The app also can be used to contact OSHA directly.
It is available for Android devices, and OSHA plans to release versions for Blackberrys and iPhones.


Go Hydrology!: Official fall arrives!
Actually, we're earlier than normal.
Peninsular fall has finally (and officially) arrived!
Unlike the reliable onset of fall around Labor Day up on the Continent, Peninsular fall doesn't commence until the thermometer records nightime lows in the 50s on two consecutive nights.
At least that's how Morton D. Winsberg defines "Floridian fall" in his excellent book Florida Weather.
