Nine Years After Arab Spring, Repression in Egypt Continues to Mount

Derek Ludovici Feb 7, 2020
As Egypt rounds out nine years since the revolution that forced out former President Hosni Mubarak it has moved even further from the hope of bread, freedom and social justice called for in 2011. In the past two years, Egypt's President, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, has increasingly centralized the power of the presidency and clamped down on the slightest dissent.
In April 2019, Egypt passed a referendum to extend presidential terms from four to six years, with a limit of two terms. This significantly expands the current president's reign, permitting him to remain in office until 2030.
The extension of el-Sisi's powers has come with increased scrutiny of his policies. In February 2019, there was a protest at the Ramses Train Station in Cairo, after a train ran into a barrier at high speeds, exploding its fuel tank and causing a fire that spread through parts of the station. The incident killed 22 and injured 45. Many blamed al-Sisi for not investing in national infrastructure, citing a previous speech in which the president claimed the $600 million-plus needed to improve the railways would be better spent collecting interest.
"The demographics of protesters were an indication of clear generational change in Egypt," says Mohammed Soliman, a non-resident scholar at the Middle East Institute. "These protesters were 16 to 23 [years old], meaning they were barely teenagers during the Egyptian Revolution."
Thirty-five protesters were detained, including a trans woman, Malak al-Kashif, who was held for 120 days in pretrial detention before being released.
There was a short glimmer of hope last year. In September, Egypt saw its biggest wave of national protests in years. Unlike the small protest at Ramses, these were not tied to a particular catastrophe, but rather popular dissatisfaction at poverty throughout the country, highlighted by a YouTube channel with a chain-smoking anti-hero, Mohamed Ali.
Not a seasoned activist, but rather an actor with a playboy persona and a construction business, contracted by the government, Ali began releasing videos exposing corruption, such as the building of a seven-star hotel that benefits a top-ranking general, as well as luxurious presidential palaces. Gaining millions of followers, these videos struck a chord in a country where a third of the population lives under the poverty line.

"The discontent is economical primarily," said Ahmed El Hady, co-organizer of protests held outside the U.N. General Assembly during the September protests. "This mobilized larger subsections of society because these allegations have been growing, but only a limited amount of people knew about it."
A week of small, spontaneous protests followed, leading to a crackdown in which over 3100 people were arrested, including 100 children. Arrests were not only of protesters. Human rights attorney Mahienour El-Massry was detained as she left the courthouse where she was representing the demonstrators. There were also reports of police arresting pedestrians at random who refused to grant them access to their cellphones.
These events underscore two larger norms of the regime: mass arrests and media suppression. Human Rights Watch estimates that there are over 60, 000 political detainees in Egyptian prisons. Globally, Egypt ranks amongst the highest in terms of incarceration rates. Since 2011, it has built 19 new prisons, where torture and overcrowding are commonplace. Inadequate access to medical care is also commonly reported — highlighted last year when ousted President Mohamed Morsi succumbed to a heart attack in the courtroom while facing charges related to his short rule.
According to the Cairo based al-Nadeem Center for the Rehabilitation of Victims of Violence and Torture, there were 28 detainee deaths, 90 cases of inadequate access to medical care and 213 individual cases of torture of persons held in custody in the first six months of 2019 alone.
Egyptian authorities have increasingly embraced the practice of re-ordering the detention of detainees on fabricated charges, as they are about to be released.
Just as disturbing is the example of Alaa Abdel El-Fattah, a prominent Egyptian activist who was given a five-year sentence in 2013 for violating a law criminalizing unauthorized demonstrations. Released in March of last year, El-Fattah was serving an additional five-year probationary period in which he was ordered to spend every night in a police station but was transferred to indefinite detention on Sept. 29.
As the independent Egyptian news outlet Mada Masr reports, El-Fattah is charged with "belonging to an illegal organization and spreading false information. His detention is renewed by the State Security Prosecution every 15 days"
Freedom of the press ballooned during the 2011 revolution, but the military was quick to clamp down during the thermidor.
Besides its people, information has become public enemy number one for the Egyptian security apparatus. Egypt has increased its capacity to clandestinely track its citizens locations and communications through their cell phones.
While freedom of the press ballooned during the revolution of 2011, the military was quick to clamp down during the thermidor. In 2017, Egypt began a campaign of internet censorship. Within a year, security agencies blocked over 500, mainly news, websites. This is an increase in the regime's digital sophistication compared to the uprising in 2011, when it shut down all internet and cellular communication in response to street protests. During the referendum on term limits this year, the suppression reached a crescendo with the blocking of 34,000 domains in an apparent attempt to hinder a campaign opposed to the constitutional amendment, the net transparency group NetBlocks reported.
The internet shutdown follows a 2018 media law, allowing the state to block websites and social media accounts with more than 5,000 followers if deemed a national security threat. Anyone who browses censored information faces at least a year in prison and a fine. Sharing content from censored websites could result in a minimum prison sentence of two years. The law also forces news agencies to register with the government. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, Egypt is tied with Saudi Arabia as the world's third worst jailer of reporters. Twenty six were arrested last year.
Mada Masr, a bilingual publication, is an example of the tenacity needed to remain independent in Egypt. On Nov. 24, 10 large, plain-clothed men forcefully entered its offices, detaining 16 staff and freelancers. The raid came after one of its editors, Shady Zalat, was arrested at his home the day before. Over several hours agents questioned editor-in-chief Lina Attalah and journalist Mohamed Hamama. All were released later that day, including Zalat.
In response to the attempts at intimidation, Mada Masr recently began using a TOR server, in attempt to evade a blocking campaign that has taken down its site 22 times since 2017. In other words, they're angering the right people.

A: Take a look for SUID und SGID on Unix Files
SUID stands for Set User ID. This means that if the SUID bit is set for any application then your user ID would be set as that of the owner of application/file rather than the current user, while running that application. That means in case I have an application whose owner is ' root ' and it has its SUID bit set, then when I run this application as a normal user, that application would still run as root. Since the SUID bit tells Linux that the the User ID root is set for this application and whenever this application executes it must execute as if root was executing it (since root owns this file).

Could you be a volunteer for Schools Admissions Appeals Panel?
Parents have the right to express a preference for the school they would like their child to attend. If a place at that school cannot be offered, parents then have the right to appeal to an Independent Appeal Panel. A School Admissions Appeals Panel hears such appeals.


In my last post I wrote about my sister Gail , who has been struggling for a long time with her difficulty in getting her children's book ideas edited and published. As mentioned in my last post, she was feeling frozen in fear that she would be perceived as a fool if she risked putting her ideas out there. As I had written, I offered to work with her to hopefully help move her along. In conversation with Deborah, she too felt interested in collaborating with me to help Gail in this process. In this way both Deborah's expertise and mine could enhance the chances of Gail being able to get started to take positive actions towards her goal. When I let Gail know that Deborah, too, was on board to help her she felt so touched and excited. Her first step was to email Deborah one of the children's book ideas which she has written .
Upon receiving the feedback from Deborah, Gail reported to me how she felt so supported and encouraged that it was helping her to quiet her fears and begin to think about the suggestions that Deborah had offered her. Deborah encouraged Gail to send out her one book idea that was ready to go to another publisher, but to also consider creating a book idea that was based on her own most passionate interest (as her current book idea was based on what she thought would be easy to market). This suggestion has enabled Gail to use her imagination and she already has several wonderful children's book ideas floating around in her head as yet not on paper. And in addition to that,her whole feeling about herself as a creative person has been greatly enhanced and is now moving in a more positive direction.
So I too feel energized and excited to begin this process to help her overcome her learned helplessness and begin to help her to quiet her fears and risk believing in her creative potential. I feel we are off to a strong beginning.

Attorneys Tommy Guilbeau and Jim Lambert Discuss the Death Penalty in Louisiana
https://media.blubrry.com/discover_lafayette/content.blubrry.com/discover_lafayette/Death_Row_Facts-Discover_Lafayette_With_Attorneys_Tommy_Guilbeau_and_Jim_Lambert.mp3
Our guests today are local attorneys Tommy Guilbeau and Jim Lambert who both believe that Louisiana should outlaw the death penalty.
Along with fellow attorney, Paul Hebert, they will be speaking on behalf of the Friends of the Humanities at the Hilliard Art Museum's Lunch and Learn Series on April 5, 2019, at noon, in conjunction with the exhibition entitled: Slavery, The Prison Industrial Complex. Note: this event is not a debate or discussion of the morality or legality of the death penalty, but rather an opportunity to provide information and insight to those present. Attendance is free and you will need to bring your own brown bag lunch.
Both Jim and Tommy work directly with persons who have been accused or convicted of committing crimes. Tommy Guilbeau is a prominent criminal lawyer who has handled seven death penalty cases. He personally witnessed the execution of one of his clients, Dalton Prejean. Tommy is knowledgeable about death row, application of the death penalty and where Louisiana stands today on the death sentence.
Jim Lambert has been involved with Kairos Prison Ministry at Angola since 2001. Kairos Prison Ministry's mission is to "share the transforming love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ to impact the hearts and lives of incarcerated persons and their families, so as to assist them in becoming loving and productive citizens of their communities".
While Angola has welcomed Kairos for 25 years, it was only in February 2018 that the Louisiana Department of Corrections allowed inmates on Death Row at Angola to be exposed to the loving message of Kairos. Jim has been meeting with ten Death Row inmates on a spiritual basis at Angola on behalf of Kairos since last February. All Death Row inmates have been there for more than twenty years. Jim shared that the men are not what you'd think: they are intellectual, affable and sociable…his initial expectations were turned upside down as he's gotten to know the men.
In Louisiana there are 19 different ways you can be sentenced to death for the killing of another human being: in the great majority of the cases, the perpetrators act in the heat of passion or were under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Guilbeau stated that less than 1% of murderers recommit any crimes and as an example mentioned the number of "lifer" inmates that work at the Governors Mansion because they are the best and safest inmates to have around.
Who is on Death Row? Mostly people of color populate Death Row and statistics show that one in four cases are reversible, according to The Innocence Project. This group, founded in 1992 by Peter Neufeld and Barry Scheck at Cardozo School of Law, exonerates the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and reforms the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. Inadequate counsel and prosecutorial misconduct can result in erroneous convictions that disproportionately affect those who do not have adequate resources to pursue justice.
In Louisiana, 69 people are on Death Row, which is a smaller and separate facility contained within the larger complex of Angola. The building is modern and manned by elite security personnel. It has no air conditioning by design, which has generated great controversy. The inmates live in "tiers" in separate 6-by 8-foot cells, and the prisoners can now visit with each other for two hours. In the past, the inmates only had one hour outside of their cells, but a successful lawsuit on the issue of Death Row's cruel and unusual punishment opened up their opportunity to have interactions with others.
It has been years since anyone has been executed in Louisiana due to the inability to access the lethal injection drug. Only one person has been executed since 2000, and that person voluntarily abandoned all of his appeals and was administered the lethal injection in 2010.
Louisiana is among the 30 states in the U. S. that allow the death penalty. In Oregon, Pennsylvania, and California, it is still legal but the governors have placed moratoriums on its use.
The United States is the only Western country to apply the death penalty. Around the world, use of the death penalty is as controversial as it is in the U. S. The European Union bans the death penalty, and of their 47 member countries, only Armenia, Russia, and Azerbaijan refused to disallow it. The United Nations Assembly has adopted non-binding resolutions outlawing the death penalty, but 60% of the world's population is still subject to the death penalty.
The United States is joined in allowing the death penalty by China, India, Sudan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, most Islamic countries, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Sri Lanka. More people are executed in China than all other countries in the world combined.
Tommy Guilbeau shared facts about the Death Penalty: (1) Statistics show this it is not a deterrent to other crime, and in fact, in states where there is no death penalty, murder rates are lower. See more facts here. (2) The Bible does not condone it; while the Old Testament is full of stories of God's wrath it, the New Testament is about love and forgiveness. The Catholic, Episcopal, Baptist, Methodist and other churches are all against the death penalty. (3) The Death penalty doesn't save the government money but can cost hundreds of millions of dollars in holding the prisoners in separate holding facilities while paying for appeals that can continue for over 10 to 15 years for executions that never occur. In Louisiana, the cost of maintaining death row and associated attorneys fees and appeals costs since 2000 has totaled $215 million. (4) The Death Penalty disproportionately affects the uneducated and minority populations who do not have sufficient resources to have adequate legal counsel; (5) Use of the death penalty is political, but does not allow closure for the victims' families as they have to endure endless appearances in conjunction with the death row appeal process. Both Mr. Lambert and Mr. Guilbeau stated that one of the most severe penalties you can endure is a life sentence.
Abolitionists such as Mr. Lambert and Mr. Guilbeau agree and accept the fact that life in prison is the best outcome for heinous crimes such as first-degree murder. These perpetrators have made terrible mistakes and they must pay the price by spending their life behind bars.
The Friends of the Humanities, in partnership with the Hilliard Art Museum, hope to share the facts stated above and thus allow the public to understand more so that people may make up their own minds as to their position on this topic.
Attorney Tommy Guilbeau discusses the death penalty in Louisiana. Public opinion is now about 50% for and against its use. The 2019 Louisiana Legislative Session will once again take up bills on abolishing the death penalty in Louisiana.

Seattle, WA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/02/2015 -- Youth and families wrestling with transgender issues need specialized information. Board certified family physician Linda Gromko MD has written a ground-breaking work: Where's MY Book? A Guide for Transgender & Gender Non-Conforming Youth, Their Parents, & Everyone Else. Never before has a book provided such specific anatomical and psychological information for this population. Where's MY Book? will be available on Amazon.com as a paperback and e-book this November (ISBN-10 0982514379 and ISBN-13 978-0-09825143-7-5).
With 18 years of experience working with transgender clients of all ages, Gromko says, "Going through puberty is rugged, but it's especially difficult if you discover you're going through the wrong puberty. My book is built from hundreds of patients' experiences, with the intention of helping gender non-conforming kids grow up happy, productive, loving, and loved. I appreciate that parents, friends, teachers, and health care providers need resources as well. And for adults who've already completed a gender transition, I like to think of this as 'the puberty book you never had!'"
Dr. Gromko sites the disproportionately high rates of suicides and depression among trans youth. "Nearly half of all trans youth between ages 18 and 24 have attempted suicide. We can do better for our kids," she says.
Where's MY Book? is richly enhanced by the colorful and whimsical paintings of Seattle artist Jacqui Beck (www.JacquiBeck.com). Beck, who has a transgender son, presented her "Gender Personal" exhibit in 2014.
Interspersed with Beck's paintings, readers will find anatomical illustrations. Gromko says, "It's an honest work. I rated the book 'R' for "Realistic."
Dr. Gromko is a 1984 graduate of the University of Washington School of Medicine, and completed her Family Practice Residency there as well. She started her own practice, Queen Anne Medical Associates, PLLC, in 1989. Dr. Gromko is a frequent speaker in two areas: transgender medicine, and kidney disease and home dialysis. "After my husband's death of diabetic kidney failure, I found writing and speaking to be therapeutic – but also helpful to others."
After years of working with trans patients and their families, Gromko has produced a book packed with wisdom, practical information, and firsthand accounts of day-to-day survival. Gromko covers the basics of gender identity, sexual orientation, puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and gender affirming surgeries, and also explores the difficulties of coming out, going through school, coping with depression, and forming relationships.

Prosecutor's office interns get intense workout
Phil Dunn
Courier-Post
WOODBURY – The group of teenagers jogging in place on a hot afternoon in the middle of Woodbury High School's football field waited quietly for their next command.
"Keep those legs chopping," yelled Eric Shaw, a detective with the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office. "Keep 'em chopping."
The 25 students were selected for the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office summer intern program, a three-week exposure to how police are trained and how a prosecutor's office operates.
The "recruits" participated in marching drills and physical training in their first week, and then will circulate through the prosecutor's offices in Woodbury to learn from detectives and assistant prosecutors about the justice system.
Students end the program by conducting a mock trial.
"This particular group of kids is fantastic," Shaw said. "You usually don't get this type of camaraderie with adult recruits, but on the fourth day they are so locked in."
Shaw said the intern program gives teens a leg up in their law enforcement career aspirations.
"A lot of these things I didn't learn until I was a patrolman for a few years," Shaw said.
While most in the program are interested in law enforcement, those who are not leave with leadership skills.
Angelina Hodson of Glassboro joined the program because her sights are set on the military. She plans to join the Marine Corps after she graduates high school.
The 16-year-old also used the training to overcome shyness.
"I came here shy and not talking to anyone, but now I've lost my voice," Hodson said in a confident tone. "I've really taken to being a leader and helping out the team."
Hodson wants to be a role model for women.
"My advice: If you push yourself, you can accomplish anything," she said. "Woman are just as good as males; we can do just as much."
Stephanie Fitzgerald, who works in the victim witness unit, said the transformation students go through in the program after just a few days is amazing to watch.
"Some of the kids start off kind of scared, but they all came together after the first couple days and they are pulling the potential out of one another," she said.
Manuel Echevarria of Woodbury is using the program as a tuneup for the Marine Corps as well. The 18-year-old ships out in January.
"I want to get the proper experience before leaving," Echevarria said as he caught his breath from wind sprints. "There is a long history of military service in my family, and I want to keep that tradition."
After his service is done, Echevarria wants to apply to the Camden County Police Department.
He said that so far the internship has taught him to better manage his time and to be disciplined.
"It's about doing things when you are first told," he said. "It's really impacted me a lot."
The free, three-week program is sponsored by the Prosecutor's Office and is open to any high school student in Gloucester County. Students also receive a monetary award upon completing the program.

Q: WebService parameter object being renamed This is the first time I've used a webservice for anything so the question may be a little  basic. Anyhow, I have a webservice that acts as a proxy to our vendors site. It simplifies the "screen scrape" that we would usually have to do. The webservice function looks like this:

namespace foo
{
  public class MyService : WebService
  {
     [WebMethod]
     public string UploadFile(System.IO.FileStream fileToUpload)
     {
        return _obj.Upload(fileToUpload);
     }
  }
}

The client throws an error when you try to give it the FileStream that the method asks for. In compilation somewhere, the webservice changed the type of the parameter from System.IO.FileStream to foo.FileStream. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I did this to myself?
Thanks in advance!

A: In .NET when you are making calls across application domains (as you are here), you can't pass data that is specific to that application domain.
The general version of this is that when you are making calls between two separate processes, you can't send information that is specific (i.e. only has significance in that context) to that process and expect it to have significance in the other process.
This is what you are doing with the filestream.  The filestream is a handle to the file on the OS that is specific to a process.  There is no guarantee that a process on the same computer, let alone a process on another machine will be able to understand this.
This being a web service, that's exactly the situation you have, as you have two processes on different machines.
To address the issue, the data you send has to be self-contained.  In this specific case, that means sending the contents of the entire file.
You should change the parameter to a byte array, and then process the bytes appropriately in your method.

A: ASMX web services do not support the use of System.IO.Stream or any derived type of Stream. You would need WCF for this.

Toyota Sienna XLE: an overall assessment of the vehicle
The Toyota sienna XLE is a minivan that has been manufactured by the Japanese automobile brand- Toyota. The Princeton region of the United States became its very first market.The first generation vans were replaced by the particular vehicle. It shares a front wheel drive layout design with its competitor Camry. The redesigning dimensions of the Sienna were even smaller than the typical minivan types. At present it is the one and only model to be equipped with the all-wheel drive technique. The modifications to the model were made in the year 2011. The later generation of the same series of vehicle was put out for sale. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the car with the 'Top Safety Pick' award. The car has a striking resemblance to Toyota Camry. The Toyota Previa is the predecessor model and it belongs to the minivan class.
Evolution of the model and its specifications
The headlamps of the car were restyled, side moulding of the frontal part of the car were also a part of the modification. The electroluminescent blue coloured backlights were added along with the optitron gauges. The limited version of the car was denoted by 'XLE Limited'. It was equipped exclusively with the trims. The optional side view mirrors and the power driver seats were served the purpose of the memory functioning device. The exterior power folding was integrated with LED signal repeaters that were made out of glass. The Bluetooth services were an added feature that was attached to the third row of the seating arrangement. The horsepower and the torque ratings were developed suitably in order to meet the standardised horsepower ratings.The rating of the engines is based on 87 octanes. The fuel economy was rated on the front wheel drive model. It is characterised by a 24 valve dual 3.5L engine. The initial 3.3 litre V6 models were replaced by the advanced forms of the engine. It is provided with five speed automatic transmission technique that was controlled electronically with the help of intelligent grade logic. With the turning diameter being 36.8ft, the front wheel drive is available on the limited editions only.
The latest generation
The 2011 model of Toyota sienna XLE featured in an auto show at Los Angeles. It was engineered from the technical centre of Toyota that was located in Michigan. It had clear tail lamps and detailed body works. The suspension technique was revised and was specially made for a sporty ride.It is equipped with electrical power steering that gets rid of the orthodox hydraulic power steering technique. The second row of the sliding arrangement can be adjusted to 'Lounge Seating' and reclined as chairs.
The safety of the vehicle is assured by the anti-lock braking technique that provides assistance in the braking mechanism. The distribution of the brake force electronically and the traction control are some of the extra safety measures that are taken. Monitoring the tyre pressure is also important. The stability control procedure reduces the trims of the model.
About Toyota Sienna XLE


As the opioid epidemic continues to grow, local EMTs and athletic trainers learn the skills they need to save lives.
As the opioid epidemic continues to grow, local EMTs and athletic trainers learn the skills they need to save lives. The folks at Bridgewater State University realized how massive this epidemic has become and it prompted them to team up with local police officers to get this done.
Bridgewater police and fire officials say they're using Narcan frequently to stop a drug overdose while its happening. They put on Thursday's training in hopes of getting as many people in the community trained on what to do in an emergency so that more lives can be saved.
First responders just did everything they can to save a man's life, giving him Narcan in the midst of an overdose. Except this situation on the BSU campus isn't real, it's just something first responders are becoming all too familiar with.
"There's been an increase in Massachusetts and the region in general and the students are from all over Massachusetts and Southeastern Massachusetts which is being hit pretty hard by the opioid epidemic," says Detective Sergeant Robert McEvoy with the Bridgewater State University Police.
The mock overdose put on by the university and local police and fire officials is to train the community on what to do during a crisis.
"You want as many people as possible to be trained for the awareness and to be trained with Narcan to be able to save lives," says McEvoy.
Right now, Bridgewater and campus police carry Narcan and say they're having to use it more and more. Not necessarily on campus, but the concern is in the surrounding areas.
On Thursday, dozens of people attended the exercise mainly directed at athletic trainers. Many who deal with injured athletes that get hooked on pain pills.
"You never know when there might be that one time where they combine things before practice or even during practice where they need something to get through and you need to be prepared for the best way to treat them," says Alan Segee, an athletic trainer in Providence.
Law enforcement also says that recently it's been taking more than just 1 dose of Narcan to stop an overdose because of everything that's being cut in with heroin.

". . . At the end of the two-year [MFA in creative writing] program, I read aloud from my thesis novel. People complimented me afterward, but no one laughed, not even a titter. It was an odd feeling. I tried to reassure myself; who needs laughs when you might one day be the author of "an unflinching and elegiac novel that echoes the work of (insert name of very important writer)"?
I was stymied for a long time, trying to figure out who I was as a writer. Eventually I did a rewrite, employing my breezy pre-M.F.A. style. I queried again, expecting rejection letters echoing my classmates and professors, saying, "Too precious" or "Seems glib." Instead I got five offers of representation.

Chapter 17 – Part 1
Posted on July 18, 2017 by Nick Millini
[2722 AD; Admorse, Ameci – Wilk Household]
(Rysol's Remorse)
Father had gone out to work that day. I will never forget the smile on his face when he told mother that he was looking forward to that night. As he left, mother turned to me and looked me in the eyes.
"He'll be back soon, Ry."
He would be back. She had assured me of that. I went to Sorin's room and looked in his crib and found that he was sound asleep. It was just like any other day since he had been born. Mother had told me that compared to Sorin, I was quite loud when I was his age. I wondered what kind of kid he would turn out to be, but that day was not meant to be a peaceful one.
"Rysol, can you go out back?" Mother asked me. "I need some water to wash these clothes."
I nodded and left out the back door. Our backyard was vast, with an endless amount of land that ended up by a small river. It was the first thing that father showed me that I could clearly remember. A river that went from one place to another.
"All of this water, it goes on and on, my son," father said to me. "It starts out small, but it ends up into a much larger body of water."
He laughed when he said that, and looked at me.
"Sort of like you," he said, "You'll just a small stream right now, but in the future you'll be a big lake or maybe even an ocean!"
The stream he had talked about was right before my feet. With a bucket in my hand, I scooped up some water when I heard a scream from far away. There was no mistaking that scream. Mother. No time to react, I ran into the house and saw them surrounding her. These two men were armed and looked threatening.
"Where is he!?"
Mother, however, lacked the fear I had. She had stood there with her arms out, not moving a single inch as the men stepped forward.
"Who sent you?"
"We're not afraid to cut you down where you stand."
"No! I will not move," mother said. "No matter what you will do, I will not let you into my house!"
"Tell us where Kirk is, or else we will kill you!"
"He's not here. Now go away!"
"Lies! Maybe we will start with these kids first!"
They looked at me. My heart was pounding and my eyes… I felt ready to burst into tears. Father. Where was father? He had to come back, soon, he had to. Please, do not leave us alone here was these men!
"Yeah, looks scared, alright. Don't you worry, kid, it'll all be over soon…"
"Don't you dare!"
She was fearless. If only I were as fearless, then, I would have saved her. The men did not care, though, and ran their swords through her stomach. It was like a nightmare. The tears could not stop running down my face as mother fell to the floor.
"Now that she's out of the way, all that's left is you and that other kid…"
They were getting closer. I did not know what to do. With their bloodied swords, they raised them up… And then, she happened. Mother had taken a last stand.
"I won't let you… lay a hand on him!"
She dashed at them, doing her best to distract them as I got out of the way. I do not even know how I got out of there; my feet had reacted on their own, I suppose. It proved not to matter much, though, as mother was quickly thrown into the wall. I was out of their way, but not for long. I had embraced the worst when he showed up again.
"I'm home," father said. "April? Where are you?"
He looked and saw her. She looked at me. The men turned and saw him standing there in the doorway. Whatever got into them, it led them to charge at father in hopes that they would kill him, but he was much faster. Stronger. Strong… Something that I was not.
That word echoed in my head. Was it mother? Father? I did not know. What I did know was that I listened. Out of fear, I listened. Not even a second thought went through my mind when I had shot out of the back and into the backyard. Run… Run… Run… That word continued to repeat over and over as my legs carried me through the field and into a nearby forest.
"Run," I said. "I need to run!"
I was not sure how much time had passed, but I could hear the voice of my father ringing in my ears as he called my name. How could I have gone back? After what had happened… After what I saw… I was not brave enough. I was not strong enough. I lacked both things which mother and father possessed.
After a while, I collapsed to the ground. My face had hit the dirt as my legs could not carry me anymore. It did not matter. All I wanted to do was cry. So I did. Who knows how long it was for, because I soon fell asleep thereafter. The next morning, I awoke to a pair of feet before me. I looked up and saw him. At the time, I was not aware of the man he really was, but he had saved me. A man of wealth, he took me in for the next eight years.
[2740 AD; Bel Forest – interior of the woods]
"That's… what you wanted to know, right?" Rysol asked.
Rysol stood up and turned away from Sorin. Sorin had looked at his feet the entire time that Rysol spoke and did not say a single word. There was nothing he could say, after all, he was only an infant when his mother was killed.
"If you will… I'm going to go," Rysol said. "They're almost here. Please, go with them and forget about me."
He started to walk away, but Sorin placed a hand on his arm.
"No!" Sorin said. "You don't have to run away again!"
"What are you doing!?" Rysol asked. "Are you… are you insane!? You know full well what will happen when they catch up and see me!"
"I will tell them," Sorin said. "You're not our enemy. Father and I only wanted to find you after all these years."
"But why?" Sorin asked. "Whatever it is, I want to know. The True Thekohnians have been defeated, so we don't have to worry about them anymore, right?"
"You don't… understand," Rysol replied. "There's so much you… so much you will… You just don't know!"
He swung his arm at Sorin, hitting him in the face and knocking him to the ground. Sorin held a hand to his face as Rysol drew his blade. Rysol's strained breathing was all Sorin could hear right now. Within less than a second, Sorin drew his blade just in time to defend himself from Rysol's attack.
"No, stop this!" Sorin said. "What has gotten into you?"
He looked up into Rysol's eyes. They were empty and dull as Rysol pulled back his sword. Sorin stood up and once again defended himself, his sword upright as Rysol tried a direct strike. The two stared at each other once more.
"Are you listening, Rysol?" Sorin asked. "Listen to me!"
Rysol's hands twitched. His sword fell to the ground as he appeared to realize what he was doing. Sorin stepped forward and withdrew his sword. As he got closer, Rysol grabbed his head and began to scream.
"I thought that I was done," Rysol said, "Done with that side! Why… Even my own brother I couldn't… I couldn't stop myself!"
"It's okay!" Sorin said. "I can help you."
"No, you can't!" Rysol exclaimed. "No one can save me!"
He ran off, forgetting his sword as he approached a nearby cliff. A long drop awaited him below, with a large river flowing through the ravine.
"Rysol, no, don't jump!" Sorin said.
"It's so big," Rysol said, "The river… it looks welcoming."
"Please," Sorin said, "Don't jump… Not now, not at all."
The footsteps were at their loudest as Henry and Mina arrived. They witnessed as Sorin tried to talk Rysol down from jumping. Sorin pleaded as Rysol turned to see the two come in.
"Not another step!" Rysol said. "I… I… I can't do this."
"Then step down," Sorin said.
Rysol tried to move, but the ground below him broke apart. He started to fall down into the ravine, but Sorin dashed forward and grabbed Rysol's left arm. Sorin felt lucky enough to be able to save his brother, but he still had to pull him back up.
"You saved me?" Rysol asked.
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Even after I tried to attack you, you still saved me," Rysol said. "I've killed so many, yet you find me worthy of saving."
Sorin tried to pull Rysol up, but lacked the strength to do so. He tried to place a hand in the ground, but found it too loose to establish a good hold.
"Don't worry, Rysol," Sorin said. "I know you two are back there! Could you help me out?"
"Okay!" Mina said. "Let's go, Henry!"
"We're coming, Sorin!" Henry said.
Rysol began to laugh. Even as he was grabbing onto life by way of Sorin, he laughed. Then, he lifted up his free arm and placed it on his other one.
"You're not strong enough… Sorin," he said. "I appreciate what you've done… but it's time for me to go."
"What are you saying?" Sorin asked.
Rysol reached to his metallic arm and pressed a small button. A single press was all that Sorin needed to see as Rysol became detached from his arm. The long, echoing scream filled the entire ravine as Rysol fell down into the water below.
"Rysol!" Sorin said. "No! No!"
His scream matched with Rysol's. A loud splash could be heard throughout the entire forest as Sorin could only watch Rysol disappear into the water. He continued to hold onto Rysol's arm while Henry and Mina pulled him back up. Sorin had only his arm to remember him by as he started to cry.
"Why would you do this," Sorin said. "To throw your life away? I can't believe it…"
"I'm sorry," Henry said. "I can't imagine what you're feeling right now, but I am sorry for your loss."
"After what has happened, I don't know," Sorin said. "What can I even say?"
Mina embraced him. "It's okay to cry," she said. "No hero can go without crying at least a few times. Just let it all out."

Mayor Emanuel Announces New Investments In Mental Health
2019 budget investments will help better connect residents to existing mental services across the city, bridge gaps in emergency mental health care
Mayor's Press Office
press@cityofchicago.org
Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) Commissioner Dr. Julie Morita today announced a $1.4 million investment in the 2019 budget to strengthen bridges between residents and critical mental health services within their communities. The investments will better connect residents to mental health service providers, expand the city's capacity for emergency psychiatric care and support coordinated mental health community responses following traumatic events. This budget proposal builds on mental health improvements and is aimed at filling remaining gaps in Chicago's larger mental health infrastructure.
Today, more than 6,000 residents receive mental health services from CDPH and the department's four health center partners – roughly 1,000 more residents served than in 2011. These investments build on the gains made over the past six years and expand the capacity of community-based services throughout the city.
"Over the past several years we have strengthened Chicago's mental health system, and today there are more than 250 facilities across our city ready to serve," said Mayor Emanuel. "Through these investments we will provide better access to the quality mental health services available in every community"
Connecting Residents to Community Mental Health Services: The Mayor's 2019 budget proposal makes an investment in the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) Chicago Helpline to expand services to include nights and weekends, provide additional language options and connect the Helpline directly to the City's 311 system. The free Helpline connects callers to trained operators who can provide immediate mental health triage over the phone, answer questions regarding mental health concerns and connect residents to a qualified, affordable service provider that best fits their individual needs. The investment and direct-link to 311 will allow the NAMI Helpline to expand its capacity and is expected to connect more than 15,000 residents/year to neighborhood mental health supports.
"Access to treatment for mental health and substance use disorders is more important than ever, as our country continues to face skyrocketing rates of suicides and overdoses," said Patrick J. Kennedy, former U.S. Representative, mental health advocate and founder of the Kennedy Forum By taking meaningful steps to connect residents with much-needed care, Chicago is setting an example of how cities can and should respond. Boosting mental health services will empower individuals, support families, and strengthen communities."
Expanding Capacity for Emergency Psychiatric Care: As part of the Mayor's 2019 budget, for the first time, CDPH will offer walk-in psychiatric services. The investment will expand the capacity of existing mental health service sites to provide additional walk-in crisis therapy and psychiatry care for residents, including those who may be uninsured. This sites will support high-need communities and provide same-date psychiatric care and therapy for residents in immediate need of mental health services. Partner sites will be determined through a competitive bid process, focused on those high-need communities. The new partnerships are expected to serve 2,100 individuals/year, increasing citywide capacity by 16 percent.
"By helping residents get the care they need from providers working in the community, we will not only improve individual mental health but we will build a healthier Chicago for generations to come," said Dr. Morita.
"By connecting the reach of Chicago's 311 system and the expansion of our helpline at NAMI Chicago, we have a meaningful path to get the help and support that everyone deserves. The dedicated people staffing the helpline provide support and information to help connect people to mental health resources so they and their loved ones can get tools to live in recovery. The City of Chicago and the Chicago Department of Public Health show great leadership in supporting this expansion," said Alexa James, Executive Director of NAMI Chicago.
Coordinating Post-Trauma Mental Health Community Response: The Mayor's budget also invests in mental health triage and rapid response services following traumatic events or violent events. CDPH will work with established community-based providers to manage a coordinated and timely response when tragedy strikes, ensuring residents in need are connected to quality care. This program is expected to serve 1,000 residents per year.
"As a former social worker who specialized in mental health, I recognize whether facing a crisis or dealing with everyday challenges, every Chicagoan should have the opportunity to get mental health care," said James Cappleman, 46th Ward Alderman. "I am proud to support Mayor Emanuel's 2019 plan to connect residents to existing services and ensure residents facing crises have more options for care."
Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act, more than 90 percent of Chicago residents are insured, providing more opportunities for more residents to access quality mental health services. The Mayor's most recent proposals build on other investments CDPH makes in community partners, expanding outreach and access to Chicagoans who continue to face challenges accessing mental health services.
CDPH works with local agencies to engage both residents who are undocumented and residents facing homelessness in care. In the first half of this year, 453 residents received mental health services through these partnerships.
Residents returning home from Cook County Jail and facing mental health challenges are linked directly to a mental health provider. In the first six months of this year, 90 individuals received discharge planning services and completed at least one mental health appointment. The program has seen an 8percent reduction in recidivism among participants.
CDPH invests in five community-based mental health providers on the city's South and West Sides to provide psychiatry services to adults facing severe mental illness who have limited options for care. More than 800 adults received services during the first half of this year.
Through a partnership with the Kennedy Forum, the city has supported free mental health awareness training to reduce stigma and better access critical mental health emergency response resources. Since the program launched last year, more than 800 community members in Austin, Garfield Park, North Lawndale and Roseland have received training, with more than 400 additional Roseland residents scheduled for trainings in the coming weeks.
City Council is expected to vote on the new proposals as part of the Mayor's 2019 budget package in November.
Mental health advocates praised the investments as an important step to build bridges to care and serve more residents.
"I applaud Mayor Emanuel and the Chicago Department of Public Health for increasing the city's investment in connecting people to care. There are services available, from national academic hospitals like Rush which recently has made a substantial investment in building a community behavioral health infrastructure to community-based federally qualified health centers that have been at the front lines of behavioral health delivery. But unless people know about those services and are connected to them, there is no way we can improve community mental health," said David Ansell, Sr. Vice President for Community Health and Rush University Medical Center.
"As a community-based provider, we know one of the greatest challenges is reaching residents in need. We appreciate that CDPH and the City of Chicago recognize this same challenge and are building new bridges between service providers and communities," said Verneda Bachus, CEO of Friend Family Health Center.
"As a city, we have made tremendous progress in making more mental health services available. But we know gaps remain. By investing in new ways to connect residents to care, expanding psychiatric services in communities facing the greatest need and by coordinating community responses to traumatic events, we will be able to build even greater progress helping those most in need," said Ric Estrada, CEO of Metropolitan Family Services.
"Esperanza offers mental health services in Little Village thanks to a partnership with CDPH. We will open a new health center in Brighton Park soon, further expanding options for West Side residents. Even still, we all need to do more to connect residents in need to care culturally competent in their community. Thanks to this new investment, I believe we will do our work even better," said Dan Fulwiler, CEO of Esperanza Health Centers.
"Thresholds applauds Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Chicago Department of Public Health for making this investment to help connect residents to the mental health services they need. This is an important step towards strengthening the city's mental health infrastructure, and we look forward to working together as we continue to build bridges between providers and clients," said Mark Ishaug, CEO of Thresholds.
"Though we still have gaps to fill, Chicago has made real progress these past several years, helping ensure more service options are available for more people. These new investments will help connect even more people, especially African American and Latino residents who face especially high burdens to accessing care," said Joel Johnson, President, HRDI, A Subsidiary of Friend Family Health Center and Chairman of the Behavioral Health Consortium of Illinois, LLC.
"Chicago's 311 System is designed to connect residents to the various services and resources they need. By partnering with NAMI's trained operators, we are taking our service delivery one step further by being able to connect residents around the clock to mental health and support services across Chicago," said General Alicia Tate-Nadeau, Director of City of Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications.
"Health disparities exist for an assortment of reasons – including a lack of information and accessibility in African American and Latino communities. By closing this gap, Chicago is not just connecting people to services, but investing in communities for their long-term health and growth," said Dr. Robert A. Winn, Associate Vice Chancellor for Community Based Practice University of Illinois, Chicago.

Q: Emacs: current buffer's coding system I have used to pc for developing erlang program, one is mac os x 10.6, the other is mac os x 10.7.
In ".emacs" file of both pc, it contain the following script
;;handle emacs utf-8 input
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)

But when I input remark including Chinese characters in one pc and saved, and download to the other pc. The chinese characters can't be shown correctly. The same story for reverse operation.
I want to know how to check the current file's encoding type? Is there any command can do that?

A: I believe you're looking for buffer-file-coding-system. M-x describe-variable will tell you more about it, and you can set it by M-x eval-expression and use (setq buffer-file-coding-system 'coding-system-i-want). That will set it for a single buffer; once you've got it working, you can add entries to file-coding-system-alist to permanently set the option as you'd like.

A: you may also set
coding-system-for-write
coding-system-for-read

A: To modify the coding system in order to to read and write all '.txt' files using the coding system chinese-iso-8bit, you can execute this Lisp expression:
(modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.txt\\'" 'chinese-iso-8bit)

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the Security and Reliability Standards proposed by North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) back in 2006, making the Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) Cyber Security Standards mandatory and enforceable across all users, owners and operators of the bulk-power system. The NERC CIP standards were designed to ensure the protection of the Critical Cyber Assets (CCAs) that control or directly affect the reliability of North America's bulk electric systems.
"There is nearly universal agreement that information security controls must be integrated into daily IT operations, and be 'baked in' from conception, not addressed later as an afterthought," according to Gene Kim (@RealGeneKim), founder and former CTO of Tripwire. But controls evolve and change over time, and must be implemented over time. That's where the real challenge lays.
"If new security controls must be implemented, where do we start, and in what order? And how do we do this in a way that creates value rather than the perception of information security creating bureaucratic barriers to getting real work done?" Gene wondered.
These are the types of questions that Gene has been trying to answer since 1999 when he began studying how high-performing IT operations and information security organizations run. In his research, he found generally that the high performing organizations he studied consistently had the best security, the best compliance posture, the greatest ability to make changes quickly and successfully, and for the most part all demonstrated an optimal level of efficiency.
In this complimentary white paper, Gene describes seven practical steps owners and operators of the bulk power system can take to meet the mandatory NERC-CIP standards, and how they can avoid incurring huge fines for non-compliance and better protect North America's bulk power system.
"This paper describes typical information security risks that practitioners will face with NERC compliance, presents seven practical steps to secure the production environment, and the business value of implementing them," Gene said.


Ken Unsworth in collaboration with Australian Dance Artists presents, DEPARTURES, with the original music of Jonathan Cooper, at 137 Belmont St. Alexandria. October 1-4, October 14-17.
DEPARTURES, at the workshop of the Australian sculptor, Ken Unsworth, is the fourth association/collaboration by that artist, and the Australian Dance Artists: Susan Barling, Anca Frankenhaeuser, Patrick Harding-Irmer and Ross Philip.
Conceived by Mr Unsworth, some large sculptural pieces, conceived for the dancers to utilise and invent about and upon, plus other exquisite hand properties have been 'manufactured', for choreographic impact, all supported by an original score by Jonathan Cooper played by Members of the Australian Piano Quartet: Rebecca Chan (violin), Glenn Christensen (Violin Oct 15, 16, 17), James Wannan (viola), Thomas Rann (cello) with Benjamin Kopp (piano), Genevieve Lang (harp) and Katherine Lukey (violin), with two singers: Clive Birch and Rioghnach Wegrecka.
Presented in gently compacted interludes, with scene changes/spaces between, the dance duet of Mr Harding-Irmer and, especially, Ms Frankenhaeuser, is one of the many highlights of the program. Too, the song duet between Ms Wegrecka and Mr Birch, which includes a surprising physical-balance feat by Mr Birch, is memorable.
Sitting in this magically made performance space, one, once again is transported to a place of wonder. Knowing that this rare and unique collaboration is happening today, in front of one, gives the impression of receiving a rare, opportunity, gift from these artists and strikes with a sense of the private salon one has read of in 'period' novels or from memories of some of the films of Luchino Visconti: THE LEOPARD (1963), L'INNOCENTE (1976). A privilege.
You know it is worth catching, if you have been before and, it is definitely not to miss, if you have never had the privilege. Rare and beautiful.

The Van Berg name is, perhaps, the most famous surname from Nebraska.
For some Columbus residents who can remember back to the days of Aksarben race track in Omaha, the name is alive and kicking. But Nebraska's premier home of thoroughbred racing has been closed for 24 years. For many, Van Berg is a name most likely associated with the golf course out at Pawnee Park. The horse icon on the course sign may only be slightly meaningful.
Those who can rattle off the Van Berg accomplishments, those who believe it only has to do with a nine-hole patch of land in the park and everyone in between has the opportunity to learn or get reacquainted with the Van Bergs, and fellow hall of fame owner and trainer John Nerud, on Saturday morning at Center 7 Theatre, 3100 23rd St #21 in Columbus.
Producers Jody Lamp and Melody Dobson will be screening a documentary on Nebraska's role in national horse racing, specifically focusing on three individuals and the first Triple Crown champion, Sir Barton, who spent some of his last year's serving the U.S. Army at Fort Robinson.
Showtime is at 10 a.m. and entry is free thanks to the generous support of the Van Berg family.
"We wanted to contribute to the narrative of helping communities identify their agricultural history and using that history as a means to promote agri-tourism," Lamp said. "We were just finding a lot of these untold and forgotten stories, and the basis of our existence is agriculture."
Lamp is a native Nebraskan and UNL graduate who left Lincoln as an ag reporter/photographer in college and soon began working in the agri-business sector. She set up a public relations and marketing business in Billings when she and her husband moved out to Montana.
There, she began a professional relationship with Dobson when the latter was involved in the 2014 documentary "The Great American Wheat Harvest."
They began working together in 2012 and launched The American Doorstep Project (ADP) in 2015 to, as the website says, "preserve and promote historical places, spaces and events that have shaped our country over the past hundreds of years."
ADP signed a multi-book deal with The History Press in 2016 to produce a series of works on agricultural history. The first, "A History of Nebraska Agriculture: A Life Worth Living," hit shelves two years ago.
"Born to Rein," the documentary showing Saturday morning, is the first film the two have produced on their own as part of ADP.
Lamp said she and Dobson were at a point in their lives, when ADP launched in 2015, to begin preparing for 2026, the Semiquincentennial (250 years) of the United States.
"Born to Rein" is a spin-off, of sorts, on the Nebraska book produced two years ago. Readers were introduced to several historic figures and events including the Grand Island Horse and Mule Market and Marion Van Berg.
Marion, born in Aurora, was the preeminent horse trainer in America in the middle of the 20th century, leading the country in victories 14 times, including 11 years in a row from 1960-1970. His son, Jack, born in Columbus, found horse racing fame in the 1980s with wins in the Kentucky Derby (1987), Preakness Stakes (1984, 1987) and Breeder's Cup (1988). He's still the fourth-winningest trainer of all time with 6,523 victories.
Marion was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1970 and passed away in 1971. Jack earned his place in the hall in 1985 and passed away in 2017.
Sir Barton, the first winner of what is now known as The Triple Crown, was discovered by Lamp to have had a colt of his lineage purchased at a livestock sale in Billings in 1946. Lamp was researching Barton on her "own time and dime" and learned of his story that included racing championships, more than a decade as a stud in Virginia, a stint in a program designed to provide horses to the U.S. Cavalry then eventual retirement to Montana.
Nerud, a native of Minatare, is a fellow hall of fame trainer and owner who became a founding member of The Breeder's Cup, considered by many the most prestigious horse racing weekend in the world.
"We had to put some characters in place, and the characters we put a spotlight on are Marion and Jack Van Berg and John Nerud. It's just coincidence that they're all from Nebraska but a very nice coincidence to tell the story," Lamp said. "When you look at the national hall of fame trainers, you'd find it hard to argue that these guys were not the most revered in the sport within the last 50, 60 years.
"Even though they're all from Nebraska, which makes it nice for a documentary film, they all stand on their own."
Dobson believes that stories such as the ones presented in "Born to Rein" are important to preserve in order for people to understand who and what they are.
She said the subject matter is perfect for audiences and will hold people's attention because it's a story that hasn't been told thoroughly.
When local narratives and storytelling provide only a partial picture on the national impact of persons or events, she said it falls under the "mantra" of ADP to preserve that piece of American history.
"I think people are going to walk away with a new understanding of the national impact. I knew of their accomplishments, but what I didn't realize was the national impact they had on the thoroughbred industry overall. It wasn't just their winning and their training, but bringing their true horsemanship to the industry," she said.
"They were strong voices on what it meant to be a trainer and a horseman."
The film took Lamp and Dobson all over the country to such places as Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, and Saratoga Springs and Long Island, New York.
No matter where they went, or who they talked to, they were welcomed with open arms.
"The topic that we chose was so respected. We created great relationships," Dobson said. "I'm just so honored to bring back to Nebraska a little bit of history that maybe their citizens don't know and provide this for the national narrative."
Nerud is perhaps the figure Lamp is most excited to introduce to Nebraskans. The bloodline Nerud established on his farm in Florida can be traced all the way to the last two Triple Crown winners.
He provided legitimacy to the founding of the Breeder's Cup when creator John R. Gaines was trying to get the event established in the '80s.
And yet, Lamp says, the only place Nebraskans can find any mention of Nerud celebrated publicly is "a little tiny plaque at Fonner Park that has his name on it and it only tells that he's a member of the Nebraska Racing Hall of Fame."
"But when we got to Churchill Downs and New York, all we had to say was that we were doing a documentary about John Nerud, Marion and Jack Van Berg and people like Bob Baffert, D. Wayne Lukas and Bill Mott stopped and visited with us," she said. "We didn't have any appointments with any of them. But (the men in the film) were icons and are revered by the industry."
Those interested in attending should look up "Born to Rein" on Facebook, click on the events tab and indicate at the scheduled screening for Saturday that they will be attending. Though the film is free of charge, Lamp and Dobson are attempting to get a headcount and determine if they need to bring the film back to Columbus should there be more interest than available seating.
"What everybody said was their work ethic, their honesty, it was Nebraska work ethic and Nebraska values," Lamp said. "They were true horsemen. They were true advocates for the animal. Those horses had to be taken care of or they weren't going to be in business. That was the one thing that everybody said. They were true horsemen."

Hello and welcome to my second empties post for the month!
I wanted to sneak another one in now because we're heading away for ten days next week and we're not back until the 28th, so I mightn't manage to get another empties post in between now and then - unless I do a holiday empties post, which I might. We'll see.
Let's not waste time and just get started.
Full review here. This came as a GWP and I quite liked it. It's the only thing I've tried from Thalgo so it was a good introduction to the brand, and while I wouldn't necessarily rush out and buy a bunch of stuff from the range, I'll certainly be looking out for more GWPs in future.
It's a rich, white cream with a soft fragrance that reminds me of the ocean. It's thick and nicely hydrating, plus it leaves a coating on the skin so it has a protective element and it was a good one to use overnight. I think it's a good pick for dry skin as we head into cooler weather, although it's not the most amazing thing I've ever put on my face so I wouldn't necessarily buy it. Purchase? Maybe.
This was on my Project Pan list for months so I won't go on about it too much here but I will say that, so far, it's the best pore-plugging primer I've tried and I'm looking forward to comparing it to some of the other 'big hitters' on the market. I've reviewed it here.
I like that it smooths out the surface of the skin and that it isn't too drying or slippery, which is a problem I've often found with primers like these. I also like that it doesn't clog pores and it's one I recommend testing if you have dry skin and often struggle to find silicone-based primers that don't dry you out. Repurchase? Maybe.
Full review here. I've used this product before and didn't like it, and years later I tried it again and disliked it just as much. That's why it was on my Project Pan list.
It weighs my hair down, doesn't do anything for me (like manage frizz or add shine) and in the end the best use I found for it was as an air freshener. Why? It had a strong smell that I didn't mind and it also lasted well so it was a great one to spray in the loo, the nappy bin, the kitchen bin etc. Purchase? No.
I've been through at least three of these by now and I've finally accepted that this will be my last bottle. I love the scent, always have, but it just doesn't last - which means I need to spray it every hour or two and I don't have time for that.
Still, it smells beautifully fresh and it's reasonably priced, so if you don't mind frequent applications, it's one to test next time you're in the chemist. Repurchase? No.
Full review here. This is one of those products that's great for very dry skin but I wouldn't recommend it if you have oily or even normal skin: it'll be too heavy for you.
Indeed, it's too heavy for my dry skin most of the time, but there are periods each year when I need something super rich and nourishing, and this is it. If you tend to get sensitive, flaky or red skin during the colder months, then I recommend grabbing a sample of this when you can. Nothing targets dry patches quite like this does, and I love that it has a 24-month shelf-life because a tub of this will see me through two years of occasional use. Repurchase? Yes.
This was kindly given to me by one of Mum's friends after I had my second child, and I did plan to review it but ended up not doing so because I never used it as a massage balm: with two toddlers, my whole body is wrecked by the end of the day so I don't have the energy to massage anyone, and I've always hated massages so I don't want anyone to massage me.
I used it as a foot balm. It was fine for that although by the end it had dried my skin out so I wouldn't recommend it long-term. I'm sure it's great as a massage balm, though, so it's one to keep in mind if you like homegrown Australian products and the smell of lavender. Purchase? No.
Full review here. This is an HG product of mine and it has been for years. This particular sample arrived in a Mecca Beauty Loop Box, which saved me a purchase so that's always a plus. I will have to buy another one, but I'll wait until I've finished more products first.
It's a fantastic mask. It does everything it says it will do - brightens, smooths and plumps up the skin - and I always look my best after I've used it. Otherwise there's not much to say. It's a cult-favourite for a reason. Repurchase? Yes.
This was sent to me for review, which was very exciting because Zelens is a good (and expensive) brand - but unfortunately I didn't like it at all and can't recommend it. I've reviewed it here.
My issue with this is that it's so heavy on the silicone so on me it operates more as a pore/line-filling primer, and I suppose there's a place for that but not at $200 AUD for 15ml. Especially because the damn thing doesn't do the one thing it's meant to do: hydrate my eye area. Indeed, it dries it out. I got through this by using it as a face primer. What a waste. Purchase? No.
This is one of those products that I wasn't expecting to love because it doesn't look like much, but my dry body skin has absolutely loved it and I've been through two tubes now. Full review here.
It smells nice in a gentle way and it lathers beautifully - much better than other shower oils I've tried - plus a little goes a long way so my tube lasted for ages. It leaves my skin feeling soft, clean and hydrated, and it's been a great product to keep my body happy throughout winter. Recommended. Repurchase? Yes.
I really enjoyed this and I may well buy it: it's perfect for those who need good moisture but don't want anything with bells and whistles. Full review here.
I love that it feels beautifully soothing, refreshing and cooling when applied, and although it hasn't done anything specific for me (eg, reduced the look of wrinkles), it has kept my dry skin feeling moisturised and comfortable - which is all I really need it to do. Purchase? Yes.
Well, this wasn't an easy post for me because I had three hours' sleep last night and even less the night before (damn chronic insomnia, will I ever escape it?), but we got there in the end so that's something.
My favourite items in this lot are those from Ren, Alpha-H, Darphin and La Roche-Posay - all of which I plan to buy again at some point.
Do let me know in the comments if you've finished anything amazing this month: I'd love to hear.


Many analytics solutions capture and analyze network traffic in order to detect performance problems or security threats on the network. Usually these are hardware-based appliances that tap into the network in order to access the traffic they analyze.
The process of deploying these analytics appliances in a large, global enterprise network is complex, expensive and lengthy. As a result, changing analytics capability or deploying new analytics can take months or even years.
Because analytics appliances are expensive, a CAPEX budget must be raised. This can take six to twelve months, depending where the enterprise is in its budgeting cycle.
Once budget is approved, the next step is usually an RFP process. This can take three months.
A shortlist of possible solutions are typically evaluated in a "bake-off" process. This bake-off generally takes another three months.
Once a solution has been chosen, the purchasing and deployment process starts. In large, geographically distributed networks this can take six to nine months.
With the appliances purchased and deployed, the process of doing northbound integration, and integration with other tools, starts. This can take another three to four months.
The functionality of these analytics solutions is inextricably bound into the hardware. That means deploying new functionality requires a truck-roll to deploy new appliances.
These analytics appliances are expensive. So that automatically means a large capital investment and the associated lengthy CAPEX and procurement processes that entails.
Deploying hardware into a complex enterprise network is not a trivial exercise. The process must be carefully project-managed, installation and northbound integration has to be scheduled, and rack space must be made available.
Each of these things take time. Combined, they take forever.
Packet capture functionality is an essential requirement for many analytics solutions. Currently each appliance has its own packet capture functionality built-in. Which means you pay for packet capture many times over – part of the reason why deploying multiple analytics appliances is so expensive.
Our analytics platform provides two core functions. It captures and records Network History down to the packet level. And it provides hosting for analytics applications. Hosted applications can access this captured packet data in real-time or replay recorded Network History to do back-in-time analysis (read The Anatomy of an Analytics Platform for further detail).
This means that you only have to do packet capture once. Once the packets have been captured and recorded, they can be made available to all the analytics tools that need access to them – either by hosting them on the platform, or using the API to search for, and retrieve, recorded Network History. As someone once said "Endace takes the hard out of hardware".
Deploying an analytics platform means just one hardware deployment. Once the platform has been deployed and the northbound integration is done, future deployments of analytics functions can be done in software, without hardware truck-rolls. Upgrades or swap-outs are just as easy.
Deploying analytics functions in software offers the flexibility, speed, agility and cost savings that virtualization has delivered in the datacenter. Evaluating and deploying analytics functions can be done in days, not months. You can change solutions as your needs change without ripping-and-replacing existing hardware.
Don't you think it's about time the rules of analytics deployment were redefined?
The Fusion Partner Program allows you to choose your preferred best-of-breed security and analytics tools from our world-leading Fusion Partners.
No longer, do you need to rip-and-replace analytics appliances as your needs change. Book a demo to see how a single platform solution will give you more for your money and your network.


Lawyer Matthew Campbell of North Little Rock first started thinking something was wrong when the attorney for the Fort Smith Police Department responded to his request for evidence by sending him a hard drive. Typically, Campbell had received evidence via email, the US Postal Service or a cloud-based storage system.
"Something didn't add up in the way they approached it, so I sent it to my software guy first," Campbell said to the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette. "I thought 'I'm not plugging that into my computer,' so I sent it to [a software expert] to inspect."
As a result, Campbell has asked the court to hold the defendants in the case in contempt. He is also prepared to file a lawsuit regarding the malware incident.
The case involves three police officers – Don Paul Bales, Rick Entmeier and Wendall Sampson Jr. – who tried to blow the whistle on officials for wrongful behavior. Bales was ultimately fired.
Campbell claims the plaintiffs were subject to several investigations for trying to report unlawful practices – such as when one officer's wife, a civilian employee at the department, illegally obtained overtime pay, the Gazette reported. In another case, Fort Smith Police Chief Kevin Lindsey was allegedly "misled" into firing a probationary officer.
On Monday, Lindsey told the Gazette there was no comment on the pending litigation.
"We're going to let the courts speak on that when the time comes," Lindsey said. "We'll let the courts get this worked out and let the disposition speak for itself."

This unit is the final stage of instruction in the rudiments of the language's morphology and (especially) syntax. It is also the introduction to reading short unadapted passages of original Latin prose and verse, and to the literary and historical study of Latin writers. Students meet with all the usual constructions of classical Latin and a reasonable percentage of the most common vocabulary. They are well placed to begin the in-depth study of individual texts in CLAN3104 Latin 4.
Students are able to (1) translate prepared selected passages of largely and completely unadapted classical Latin; (2) demonstrate understanding of the morphology and syntax of all common classical Latin inflections and constructions; (3) demonstrate a broad knowledge of Latin vocabulary; (4) translate unseen passages of simple or simplified classical Latin without reference books; and (5) write a short study on the literary or historical significance of one or more Latin texts.
Indicative assessments in this unit are as follows: (1) class tests; (2) a commentary; and (3) an end-of-semester examination. Further information is available in the unit outline.


Since Joycelyn is finally back from California, we had to hang out and enjoy what's left of summer together!! We spent our afternoon catching up over brunch at Golden Turtle and having blueberry/waffle ice cream at Sweet Olenka's!
We somehow ended up in Yorkville after and wandered in and out of retail stores, before walking by the Andy Warhol exhibit! I was so surprised that we came across it because I remember how I wanted to check out this place after seeing it on my Instagram newsfeed!
Art history was actually one of my favourite courses in University and pop art was the decade I enjoyed learning about the most! With that said, I was really excited to finally check out this exhibition!!
I don't think my day ever go as planned when I'm hanging with Joycelyn but it's always a good time regardless! I can't wait to go to CNE with her and the girls this week!!!
