I saw this pop up on The Hacker News this morning, it looks like there was more to the CCleaner supply chain takeover. Some companies look to have been targeted with a backdoor. The Talos Group found that there is a second stage payload. At this point, I would suggest nuking any machines that had CCleaner to be on the safe side. I know earlier that Avast/Piriform said just unintalling or updating would take care of it, but with this new piece of news, it's better to be safe than sorry.
If I come across any more info or sources, I'll update this post with them.
Avast has published the companies directly effected by this, and is saying only 40 computers received the 2nd stage payload. Avast has also given a list of IOCs so we can start blocking those bad files.
Risky Business covers this on the first part of episode 471.
For cleaning the temp files, this seems to find a lot of stuff that CCleaner misses.
It doesn't install and doesn't have any batch options built into it that I know of, it's small and get's the job done.
Have to say CCleaner is the best i have come across and was suggest by another IT pro that i respect.
Cant get better than that? also all the priform software seems to be well built and very good at what they do.
If it make shim happier im sure he can buy a years support from priform for the software? only £40!
1. Excellent recommendation provided the infected version is installed.
2. There's always more to the story. Companys always try to save face even when it's a losing battle.
Agreed. There has been a lot of frustration on Avast since the news broke. A lot of it is because it took some time before the news was shared. My thought on that is if we, as a customer/consumer, find out about a breach from anyone besides the breached company, that hurts trust. At first, I was willing to give them a chance, but then it was suggested that updating or uninstalling the infected version would fix the issue. Even with them removing the C2C server, there is still a chance that there is more. Turns out, at least from this source, there is.
Nice reference. And fascinating to read. I wonder if they were targeting Cisco so they could intercept and alter binaries?
In the Cisco Talos blog they point out some code overlap and maybe implicating what the call "Group 72". Following the link detailing the group, they claim the group concentrates on companies in the US, Japan, Korean, and Taiwan. The other domains listed seem to mostly back that up (Sony,Intel,Microsoft,Samsung). Who knows if they had a specific plan or just looking for footholds in usual targets.
I'm pretty sure they knew there was a secondary payload and disabled the infected version's ability to deliver it. It also says they are down to around 730,000 infected users who they can't push updates to because they are using the free version of the product.
So after nuking the infected machines don't reinstall CCleaner, or any other automated registry cleaning utility.
I did see mention from Avast that they took over the C&C server(s), but there is the risk something could have been sent out before that happened. Especially with the news that this group was targeting specific companies, it's possibly they pushed hard to send malware before it was stopped.
Nice read. I stopped having CCleaner when they added their monitoring junk. With that aside, I just use SpaceSniffer and clean manually as needed.
One thing that stands out to me with this attack is the targeted nature. It reminds me of the attack just a few months ago of that payroll company that was breached (I can't remember the name), which effected many companies, but the attack was focused on companies in a specific country. This looks to be a trend now with larger criminal organizations (state sponsored or not) to make a breach at a large-scale country so they can attack specific targets. Like we saw with that one, and with CCleaner is that the initial focus is on the largeness of the breach when the news breaks. Everyone talks about how it affects X number of people or companies and how widespread or damaging it is, then after a few days or so, we then hear it was going after specific targets. It gives the hackers time to go after their targets while everyone focuses on the big picture.
Perhaps it's time to consider that some of these breaches we'll be seeing are a means to an end. It's not just to effect the company that was breached, but to go after some of the company's customers. It's a shift from Target, where they went after a small company to get to a big one. Now they are going for a big target to get at a more lucrative one. Some misdirection to buy time to get what they really want.
The more of this (and other hacks) I hear the more I want to sell all of my stuff and move to the middle of nowhere and live as a hermit.
I'm still puzzled by x86 only. Like, there's gotta be more to that.
Thanks Jimmy. Apologies for that, I will add the direct link to my comment also.
I have always used the portable version of CCleaner. This way i could start and stop it as needed and knew nothing was running in the background. Still, i'm probably going to nuke the machines that i ran this one because i have my trusty tinfoil hat whispering to me.
That's a good point. Perhaps it's so they can target older machines. Aren't most Windows 8 & 10 machines 64-bit now anyway? I don't remember which version, I think 8, Windows stopped supporting 32.
Even up to Windows 10 it seems you can do x86. However, yes, pretty much any system now is likely x64. (Strange how I remember this being the exact opposite in Windows XP days. x64 machines were a rarity to find in the wild.) Windows servers? Now those are x64 only, starting with 2012.
At this point to save a lot of face everyone should get the premium product for free for a year so that they can make sure its updated.
Actually so far I'm pretty impressed with the Avast response. Compared to, say, Equifax (Equihax?), they've been transparent, quick to respond, and quick to own the issue.
What is it with Avast lately? We were running AVG Cloudcare and then a few weeks back, with absolutely no notification or warning, it started uninstalling itself from 98% of the network. I nearly jumped out the window as we'd been breached and was already on virus watch.
Called AVG Support who was no help whatsoever and just said speak to our "partner"/useless IT company we'd gone through for it. As I'm frantically trying to get hold of them, AVAST AV started installing itself. They told me Avast obviously owned AVG and were replacing it with their own. Allegedly that was the first they'd heard of the software change.
To uninstall an AV product when I'm already in a crisis, leave me vulnerable for nigh n 20 minutes, and then reinstall their own software that was 100% different to AVG what I was used to and expected me to suddenly learn their new software, and trust them?!! No chance.
Seems this thing just gets stranger and stranger. Not sure what I think considering it seems that the story keeps changing. At this point, you just have to let these types of things roll off of you without touching you, because otherwise you'll just become paranoid, and that doesn't do anyone any good.

Ukraine Shopping Mall Decorates For Valentine's Day -- With SWASTIKA
Zodlikeproductions :: Main board / Hlavní panel :: Main discussion / Hlavní diskuze (English)

The "Town Gallery" Shopping Mall on Bandera Avenue in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, decorated the interior of the Mall for Valentine's Day . . . with a SWASTIKA.
During the Obama Presidency, the US backed the overthrow of then-Ukraine-President, Victor Yanukovich, who fled for his life to Moscow. It later came out from Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, that the US has spent about $5 Billion fomenting social changes in Ukraine. To the keen observer, it was immediately clear that the $5 Billion in "aid" was actually used to foment the forcible, violent, overthrow of the Ukraine Government; and it succeeded in overthrowing it.
Fast forward and we watched as Russia, seeing the changes taking place in Ukraine, moved troops to its base in Crimea to protect it;s only warm water Naval Base. Shortly afterward, the people of Crimea held a Referendum on LEAVING UKRAINE and re-joining Russia. The referendum passed by an overwhelming majority.
The Russian Duma (Their version of the US Congress) enacted legislation accepting Ukraine back into Russia.
The U.S. and Europe went nuts. They called the move an "annexation" of Crimea and claimed the Referendum Vote to move Crimea back to Russia was "rigged." The U.S. and Europe imposed Sanctions upon Russia ". . . until Crimea is "returned" to Ukraine."
In the meantime, Ukrainians in Luhansk and Donetsk, also voted to leave Ukraine and become independent entities. The government in Kiev would have none of it, and they sent troops to force Luhansk and Donetsk to remain under Kiev's power. Suddenly, scores of "Little Green Men" in unmarked military uniforms, began coming to the aid of Luhansk and Donetsk.
The US and Europe screeched those men were actually Russian Troops. (HT Remark: Of course they were!)
The "Little Green Men" and citizens of Luhansk and Donetsk, fought the Kiev government and its Army, to a standstill. Luhansk and Donetsk are still claiming to be free, but Kiev is still saying they're part of Ukraine. The fight continues.
So what CAUSED Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk to want to leave Ukraine? Locals in all three places claimed the US-Backed government in Kiev was full of "Nazis."
People in the west laughed-that-off.
Today, it appears the joke is on us because in fact, the shopping mall in Kiev decorating its interior with a Swastika, conclusively PROVES that being a Nazi in Kiev is the present "in" thing.

We were called Putin-bots and Kremiln trolls, Trolls from olgino when we informed about this fact since begining. Rogue regime change backers and paid shills went all out mad when eveidence about the nature of Obama's puppet regime in Kiev, and it's militant wings, oftenly financed and commanded by local oligarchs was shown. "No nazis in Ukraine" was their magic formula, usually accompanied with attacks ad hominem. Now the world sees what Washington created in Europe.
But it should not be forgotten that it is Trump's administration who CONTINUES support for the Obama appointed regime in Kiev. Both military and financial assistance continues unchanged, even stepped up regardless the fact that it was actually Poroshenko's regime, who meddled in the US presidential election and tried to sabotage Trump's campaign on behalf of Clinton:
Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire
https://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/ukraine-sabotage-trump-backfire-233446
Still US tax money being used to support this very same regime in Kiev, US weapons being shipped to its army and paramilitary groups and US service men being ordered to train nazi thugs in Kiev. But not only the support remained unchanged, openly neo-nazi Ukraine found new not-so-unlike ally - Israel. So regardless the fact even Simon Wiesenthal Institue recognizes Kiev's militant groups as neo-nazi:
http://www.wiesenthal.com/site/apps/nlnet/content2.aspx?c=glKWIaOWIjJ4H&b=9450107&ct=14911115
Israel, "the Jewish state", supplies the very same thugs with weapons...:
Rights Groups Demand Israel Stop Arming neo-Nazis in Ukraine
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/rights-groups-demand-israel-stop-arming-neo-nazis-in-the-ukraine-1.6248727
But, in fact, cooperation between nazis and zionists is not that rare and has its roots in history...
"This is not a new world, it is simply an extension of what began in the old one. It has patterned itself after every dictator who has ever planted the ripping imprint of a boot on the pages of history since the beginning of time. It has refinements, technological advances, and a more sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom. But like every one of the super-states that preceded it, it has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and truth is a menace." - "The Obsolete Man" - The Twilight Zone, 1961
"I assure you, ladies and gentlemen that, very soon history will show that we and our allies have fought a war on behalf of the whole world against terrorism supported by governments that will be held accountable by its own people..."
Quoting Dostoyevsky:
"Rest assured, hell is big enough for all. It doesn't deserve this fierce competition over who will be the worst." - Dr. Bashar Jaafari, UNSC session, 22nd of February, 2018

Effects of an applied voltage on direct interspecies electron transfer via conductive materials for methane production.

Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between exoelectrogenic bacteria and methanogenic archaea via conductive materials is reported as an efficient method to produce methane in anaerobic organic waste digestion. A voltage can be applied to the conductive materials to accelerate the DIET between two groups of microorganisms to produce methane. To evaluate this hypothesis, two sets of anaerobic serum bottles with and without applied voltage were used with a pair of graphite rods as conductive materials to facilitate DIET. Initially, the methane production rate was similar between the two sets of serum bottles, and later the serum bottles with an applied voltage of 0.39V showed a 168% higher methane production rate than serum bottles without an applied voltage. In cyclic voltammograms, the characteristic redox peaks for hydrogen and acetate oxidation were identified in the serum bottles with an applied voltage. In the microbial community analyses, hydrogenotrophic methanogens (e.g. Methanobacterium) were observed to be abundant in serum bottles with an applied voltage, while methanogens utilizing carbon dioxide (e.g., Methanosaeta and Methanosarcina) were dominant in serum bottles without an applied voltage. Taken together, the applied voltage on conductive materials might not be effective to promote DIET in methane production. Instead, it appeared to generate a condition for hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis.

About Models
Welcome to RiverMechanics.net
The River Mechanics models and tools were originally developed by Dr. Danny Fread and Janice Sylvestre at the National Weather Service (NWS) from 1974 through 2005. Although they are no longer supported by NWS, the RiverMechanics Group is committed to enhancing and maintaining the following: BREACH, SMPDBK, FLDWAV, FLDAT, and FLDVIEW.
Featured Application: SDB-J
SDB, an enhanced version of the NWS SMPDBK application, is a simplified procedure for predicting downstream flooding produced by a dam failure. It produces information needed for delineating areas endangered by dam-break floodwaters while substantially reducing the amount of time, data, and technical expertise required in employing more highly sophisticated unsteady flow routing models such as the FLDWAVE model. With a minimal amount of data, SDB can be used to predict the dam-break flood wave peak flows, peak flood elevations, and peak travel times at selected downstream points. This capacity for providing results quickly and efficiently makes the SDB a useful forecasting tool in a dam failure emergency when warning response time is short and data are sparse. SDB is also useful for pre-event dam failure analysis by emergency management personnel engaged in preparing disaster contingency plans when the use of other flood routing models is precluded by limited resources. Peak flows calculated with the more complete FLDWAVE model and those calculated with SDB are often within 10 percent of each other.
SDB does not account for backwater effects caused by natural or man-made channel constrictions, the presence of which can substantially reduce the model's accuracy.
The original FORTRAN code (NWS SMPDBK) was developed in 1983 and revised in 1991. The current Java GUI (SDB-J) replaces the awkward Fortran-based GUI while continuing to use the original FORTRAN calculations portion of NWS SMPDBK. SDB-J is used to create or read in an input data file, run it through the SDB application, and display the peak conditions graphically. Enhancements to SDB-J include error checking, a metric option, and the ability to export a FLDWAVE file. The current version (2019) is not affiliated with NWS.
An example of the SDB-J input and output is shown below.

The newest version of the SDB GUI (2-0-0) includes error checking, a Metric option, and the ability to export a FLDWAVE input file. There is also a Linux version of the application available.
BRCH-J News
The latest version of BRCH includes a Metric option and several bugs fixes. The animation feature in BRCH-J has been overhauled to better reflect BRCH's representation of a breach formation.
FLDWAVE News
The enhanced FLDWAV model now has ice effects and and 3 additional routing techniques added to its features. A differential head vs. discharge rating curve has also been added.

Children with special needs have the right to be cared for and educated with their peers. The key to successful inclusion is to create an atmosphere of acceptance in your child care program. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), all child care providers must accept applications from all families, regardless of a child's needs. Programs must attempt to include any child unless it would be a hardship financially or would require them to significantly change their program.
Public law guarantees services to children with special needs. Early Intervention Programs serve families of children with special needs from birth through three years. Suffolk County's school districts decide eligibility and services for children aged three to five years old. Early Intervention Programs employ a team of professionals who specialize in the identification and treatment of children with special needs.
You can visit the Suffolk County Department of Health website for more information about Early Intervention Programs; search the 2-1-1 LI Database and The Center for Children with Special Needs; or call the Child Care Council of Suffolk's Resource and Referral Department at 631-462-0303 for assistance.

Hanbury Chapel awarded with action for market town award
The Hanbury Chapel Renovation Project, which breathed new life into a dilapidated building in Bargoed, Caerphilly, South Wales, has been rewarded for its innovative and community focused refurbishment of a Grade II listed building.
A partnership was created with the congregation of Hanbury Chapel, United Welsh Housing Association, Caerphilly County Borough Council and the Welsh Government's Heads of the Valleys Programme, to design a modern education and community hub at the heart of the town centre in the rundown Grade II listed Chapel.
Action for Market Towns awarded the Bargoed Library project, which rejuvenated Hanbury Chapel into a state of the art library, customer service centre, café, with retained worshipping space, the Social and Community Award in the Welsh region of the UK's most prestigious town community projec t award scheme in recognition for its efforts to nurture a thriving community.
The transformation of Hanbury Chapel was part of the larger project, The Bargoed 'Big Idea'. An ambitious and dynamic scheme to revitalise Bargoed as a modern and sustainable 21st Century town centre, the 'Big Idea' included plans to demolish the town's library building to make way for a new retail development.
Chris Wade, Chief Executive of Action for Market Towns, said, "The Action for Market Towns Awards celebrate these innovative projects and share good ideas allowing other towns across the UK to learn from our winners' experiences.
"The quality and quantity of our entries shows that innovation and creativity is at the heart of many towns across Wales. This year's entries really raised the bar – giving judges a difficult task – and the regional winners should be congratulated for the positive effects their projects are having in their communities."
With over 17,000 visitors in its first month, Bargoed Library has also seen a massive 46 per cent increase in book borrowing between October 2011 and March 2012. The renovation of Hanbury Chapel has contributed significantly to improving the perception of the town centre and will continue to significantly improve access to education and cultural opportunities for the community.
Gareth Evans, Manager of Library Services for Caerphilly County Borough Council, said: "All those involved in the Hanbury Chapel project deserve huge recognition for the commendable job they have done, in turning a dilapidated and underused building into a modern and community centric centre for education and leisure. It is a privilege to be honoured by the Action for Market Towns Awards, and I hope that all visitors to the library, customer service centre, congregation space and café, enjoy the transformation that was made possible by the hard work of the entire partnership."
Ian Gilbert, Chair of United Welsh, added: "This building is the result of an extremely successful collaboration between many partners. It's safe to say that converting a chapel built in 1906 into a modern community facility whilst still maintaining the history and character of the building was a challenge. Hanbury Chapel is further evidence of real partnership working delivering tangible outcomes for the benefit of the whole community."

Suspected chemical attack in Syria An international team has begun an investigation into a suspected chemical-weapons attack on civilians in Douma (pictured), a besieged town in Syria. It is reported that the attack on 7 April killed dozens of people and affected hundreds more. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), which enforces the global treaty banning the use of such arms, said on 9 April that it would send inspectors to Syria on a fact-finding mission. Inspectors will try to identify any agents used, thereby confirming whether a chemical attack occurred. Physicians for Human Rights, a humanitarian organization in New York, called for immediate independent collection of environmental and biological samples from Douma. According to Human Rights Watch, there have been 85 chemical-weapons attacks in Syria since 2013, and the OPCW has confirmed the use of mustard gas and the nerve agent sarin in some instances. Since the civil war in Syria began in 2011, an estimated 400,000 people have been killed.
AI boycott ends A group of artificial intelligence (AI) researchers has ended a boycott of collaborations with the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in Daejeon, South Korea. In a petition letter announced on 4 April, more than 50 researchers stated their concerns over KAIST's Research Center for the Convergence of National Defense and Artificial Intelligence, which is operated with Hanwha Systems, a defence company in Seoul. The signatories said they would not work with KAIST until they had been assured that the centre "will not develop autonomous weapons lacking meaningful human control". On 9 April, the group rescinded the boycott after KAIST president Sung-Chul Shin said that the university would not engage in research that is counter to "human dignity including autonomous weapons lacking meaningful human control".
Scientist sentenced A Chinese scientist was given a ten-year prison sentence by a US court on 4 April for stealing genetically altered seeds. Zhang Weiqiang, a Chinese national who is a US resident, was found guilty in February 2017 of stealing hundreds of seeds from his previous employer, Ventria Bioscience in Junction City, Kansas, and storing them in his home. Zhang was suspected of passing the seeds on to a Chinese crop-research institute. Plants grown from the modified seeds produce therapeutically valuable proteins such as human serum albumin, which is found in blood and needed in large quantities to replenish blood lost in injury or during surgery. Court documents say that Ventria Bioscience spent millions of dollars developing the strains. Zhang was found guilty of conspiracy to steal trade secrets and conspiracy to transport stolen property across state borders, and sentenced to 121 months in prison.
Fellowship launch UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) — Britain's powerful new research-funding body — announced the creation of a fellowship scheme for early-career scientists on 3 April. The Future Leaders Fellowships, launched in the organization's first week of operation, will by 2021 support 550 early-career researchers in any discipline, each funded for up to 7 years. UKRI says the fellowships are in addition to existing schemes run by the individual research-funding councils, which have been subsumed under UKRI. The new scheme, which is open to researchers in academia and industry, and around the world, is designed to "develop, retain, attract and sustain research and innovation talent in the UK".
Opioid research On 4 April, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a US$1.1-billion research initiative aimed at curbing the opioid epidemic. The budget for the programme, called Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL), is nearly double what the NIH spent on such research in 2016. HEAL's goals include designing longitudinal studies to follow people with chronic pain, developing neuroimaging technologies to understand how pain manifests in the brain, testing new therapies for addiction and overdoses and partnering with the US military and the Department of Veterans Affairs to develop non-pharmaceutical approaches to pain management. The NIH is also partnering with private drug companies to develop non-addictive painkillers.
Supercomputer cash The US Department of Energy (DOE) announced up to US$1.8 billion in funding for at least two new supercomputers on 9 April. The project request follows an award last June for the Aurora supercomputing system, currently being developed at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. One of the systems resulting from the April announcement will be housed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, and the second will be at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California. The two supercomputers would come online between 2021 and 2023. The DOE says funds could also support a third system or an upgrade to Aurora, depending on need.
Whole genomes The UK Biobank, which holds health records and other biological data for some 500,000 people, announced on 5 April that it plans to sequence the complete genomes of 50,000 participants. In 2017, the powerhouse database released limited genetic data — on 800,000 DNA variants that tend to differ between individuals — for all participants. These data have already been mined in dozens of studies looking for DNA variants linked to diseases and biological traits. The whole-genome sequencing, which will be funded by a £30-million (US$42-million) grant from the UK Medical Research Council, will allow for more-sophisticated studies. In January, the UK Biobank (pictured, a blood sample from the biobank) announced plans to release data on the exomes — the small portion of genome that encodes proteins — of all participants by 2019.
Fusion-lab site A laboratory near Rome will host a €500-million (US$618-million) experiment on nuclear fusion called the Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) facility. Italy's energy-research agency, ENEA, said on 4 April that it had selected its Frascati laboratory over eight other candidate sites in the country. The DTT will test technologies for extracting heat from fusion plasma. This is a necessary step in the development of fusion-based commercial power stations that the experimental ITER reactor, currently under construction in France, is not designed to take. ENEA plans to begin construction before the end of the year, and to fund the project in part with a €250-million loan it has requested from the European Investment Bank. It also expects a €30-million contribution from China and €60 million from the European EUROfusion consortium.
Defence research The number of Japanese research institutions that have procedures to evaluate the ethics of military-related research has doubled in the past year, according to a survey released by the Science Council of Japan on 4 April. Of the 135 Japanese institutes and universities that responded to the survey, 26% said that they now screen research for possible military applications, up from 13% in 2017. The council, which advises the Japanese cabinet, called for a boycott of military-related research in March 2017 after the government boosted funding for 'dual use' scientific research with potential military applications. In response to the funding boost, the council asked institutions to introduce evaluation guidelines for such research.
Moon prize revived XPRIZE of Culver City, California, is continuing its private competition to spur lunar exploration, even though a US$30-million version of the programme sponsored by Google ended on 31 March with no winners. The group said on 5 April that it was looking for new sponsors but would continue the competition without cash for now. Five teams were in the running for the Google Lunar XPRIZE, which required entrants to develop a vehicle capable of landing on the Moon, travelling 500 metres across the surface and broadcasting images and video back to Earth.
Article-access tool Scholarly-services firm Clarivate Analytics has purchased artificial-intelligence company Kopernio, which has a tool that helps researchers to find and access journal articles with one click. Clarivate, which owns the scholarly search engine Web of Science, announced the deal on 10 April but did not disclose its value. Kopernio offers a browser plug-in that makes it easier for researchers to find and download literature that they already have legitimate access to. The feature will be integrated into Web of Science to help users get around the problem of having to sign in to multiple sites to access articles available as part of an institutional subscription. It also logs academics' access credentials so that they can access pay-walled papers off campus.
A survey of 1,839 current and former UK students has found that 41% experienced sexual misconduct — such as inappropriate comments, unwanted touching or assault — by staff at university. About 12% of current students said a staff member had touched them in a way that made them uncomfortable. Women were more likely than men, and postgraduates more likely than undergraduates, to report such harassment. The National Union of Students conducted the survey.

Василий Петрович Никитский (, Московская губерния — 14 марта 1937, Бутовский полигон) — иерей, святой Русской православной церкви, причислен к лику святых как священномученик в 2000 году для общецерковного почитания.

Биография
Родился в семье псаломщика Петра Никитского и его жены Екатерины. В семье было девять детей.

Окончил Волоколамское духовное училище. В 1913 году окончил Вифанскую духовную семинарию, после чего поступил работать учителем в школу при Павлово-Посадской фабрике в Богородском уезде. Вскоре женился на дочери священника Екатерине Михайловне Нечаевой, которая работала учительницей в той же школе.

 года был рукоположен во священника ко храму Рождества Богородицы в селе Поречье Можайского уезда.

Первый арест
Впервые арестован 4 сентября 1929 года по обвинению в антисоветской агитации и заключён в Бутырскую тюрьму в Москве. На допросе 7 сентября отвечал: «Своё положение священника в целях антисоветской агитации я не использовал. Среди крестьян или верующих прихода я никогда ничего антисоветского не говорил».

15 ноября следствие было закончено и 18 ноября отец Василий был приговорён Особым Совещанием при Коллегии ОГПУ по ст. 58-10 УК РСФСР к трем годам заключения. В заключении работал в леспромхозе.

После возвращения из заключения в 1932 году отец Василий вновь стал служить в селе Поречье, а затем был переведен в храм в село Ильинское Волоколамского района. В 1934 году был направлен на службу в храм в Талдомском районе.

Последний арест и мученическая кончина
Второй раз арестован 26 февраля 1938 года. Заключён в тюрьму в Волоколамске. Фрагмент допроса от 2 марта:

— Вы арестованы за контрреволюционную и антисоветскую деятельность, которую вы проводили среди населения и окружающих лиц в селе Теряево. Дайте показания по этому вопросу!

— Контрреволюционной и антисоветской деятельности я не вел.

— 3 февраля вы, Никитский, стоя в очереди за галошами в магазине Теряевского сельпо, высказывали недовольство советской властью и партией ВКП(б). Признаете ли себя в этом виновным?

— Да, действительно, за галошами я в очереди стоял, но контрреволюционных и антисоветских выступлений с моей стороны не было.

— Следствием установлено, что ваш дом посещали посторонние лица, среди коих вы проводили контрреволюционную деятельность. Дайте правдивые показания по этому вопросу, кто персонально вас посещал и какую работу вы с ними проводили?

— Мою квартиру посещали диакон Спировской церкви, фамилию которого я не знаю, один гражданин из деревни Валуйки Волоколамского района и бывшая церковная староста Мария Болдина, с которой я повстречался в Москве в Патриархии, она меня позвала служить в село Теряево. Контрреволюционной деятельности среди посетителей я не вел.

4 марта 1938 года приговорён «особой тройкой» НКВД к расстрелу за «активную контрреволюционную агитацию и резкую антисоветскую пропаганду».

Расстрелян 14 марта 1938 года и погребён в безвестной общей могиле на Бутовском полигоне.

Канонизация
Причислен к лику святых новомучеников и исповедников Российских для общецерковного почитания постановлением Священного Синода Русской Православной Церкви от 27 декабря 2000 года.

День памяти:  и в Соборе новомучеников и исповедников Российских.

Mike Rosati: Rosati Windows
Mike Rosati learned the value of service at a very young age. He started working for his grandfather in the family owned Grocery store business at the age of 7 where he stood on a box in the butcher shop so that he could see over the counter, and built relationships with the customers, who all knew his name. Mike would tell you that he learned so much by watching his grandfather and how he cared about people, always making sure the customer comes first.To this day he backs that up, but not only to his customers, but to his community as well.
Mike worked for Rosati grocery stores until he was 19 years old, moved on to real estate & construction projects, then joined a Central Ohio window dealer where he rose to the level of general manager. Mike spent 20 years working for someone else in the replacement window business and then founded Rosati Windows in July of 2000.It was important to Mike to carry on the values instilled in him by his grandfather. In the 56,000-square-foot showroom and factory located in Columbus, Rosati Windows manufactures replacement windows & sliding glass doors.
But that's not where the story ends. Mike Rosati gives back to the community that means so much to him. His foundation is a major supporter of Ohio Cancer Research, Recreation Unlimited, High School Athletic programs, The Ohio Crime Victim Justice Center, The Buckeye Ranch and Charitable Pharmacy Columbus, which helps Columbus area residents in need to obtain prescription medications.

Q: Postgres: How to log materialized view refresh I would like to keep a record of when various Postgres materialised views are refreshed.  As far as I can see there are no built in logs.  The next obvious choice is to create a trigger, however it seems that triggers cannot be set on postgres materialized views.  I'm running out of options.  Can you recommend a way to do this without reaching up into the application layer?
Many thanks in advance. Max.

A: Possible solution in 2021:
There is an extension mv_stats that captures MV (Materialized View) statistics.
It adds triggers for "CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW", "ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW", "REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW" and then records timestamps when they are called for a MV.

Jason's Doctor Who Reference Guide - First Doctor - BBC Early Doctor Books - Byzantium!
'Byzantium!', written by Keith Topping, features the First Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Vicki.
'Life is cheap in Byzantium.
Byzantium. The Imperial city - rising dramatically, as if by a trick of the light, from the peninsula of the Bosphorus and the Black Sea. Its domes and towers and minarets overlook a place of intrigue, lust, power, oppression, resistance and murder.
Romans, Greeks, Zealots, Pharisees … all meet in the market squares of the great city, but mutual loathing and suspicion are rife.
In this cauldron, the Doctor and his companions arrive, expecting to view the splendour and civilization of the Roman empire. But events cast them into a deadly maelstrom of social and political upheaval. In the eye of the hurricane they must each face the possibility of being stranded, alone and far from their own times, in an alien culture bunker.


Welcome to Super Hero Saturday. Each week I would like to take a few minutes to give a shout out to some of my fellow bloggers who are my super heros. Today I am featuring one primary and one intermediate blog.
Super Hero 1 is one of my favorite kindergarten blogs, the super talented Erin from Eberhart's Explorers. I cannot tell you how many fantastic ideas I have "borrowed" from her over the past few years. One of the things that I LOVE about Erin's blog is that she always takes TONS of pictures of her classroom to share so you can actually see her ideas in action. Any teacher who has a Grinch day during Christmas time is going to be ranking high on my list so be sure to check her out. I promise you that you will not be disappointed.
Super Hero 2 is one of my favorite tell it like it is bloggers, the one and only Farley from Oh' Boy Fourth Grade. Farley blogs about both her classroom and her personal life. Seriously she is hilarious. Because of her I have added phrases like "cray, cray" to my vocabulary. This year instead of coming up with a New Year's resolution Farley introduced me to the idea of OLW which I still keep in the back of my head when I'm setting goals each week (click here to read more). Farley also hosts one of my favorite linky parties ~ Currently. Each month I take a moment to write about what I am currently up to. It's like a monthly journal for me and I love it. Speaking of Currently, I know I'm a little tardy for the party but here is my Currently for June.


I love helping people. But what I love the most is helping people to live intentionally, achieve consistently, and influence deliberately. I enjoy helping people to live differently and to make a difference. So, that is what I have devoted my life to doing- coming alongside people and organizations with inspiration and empowerment through speaking, teaching, writing and coaching in ways that enable them live a more intentional path toward a purposeful, fulfilling, faith-filled, balanced, enjoyable, influential life.
Basically, I help people Own & Enjoy Life!


Immigration reform and border defense are every one arguable concerns in American political lifestyles of their personal correct. extra issues come up simply because activities taken in a single area have critical affects at the different. Any switch in immigration coverage will result in new place of birth defense matters, and new border safeguard regulations will create new problems if you desire to see development made on immigration. In Immigration, Assimilation, and Border Security, writer Yoku Shaw-Taylor offers a complete view of the connection among immigration and border safeguard, and the original demanding situations posed by way of this dating.
This e-book starts with a heritage of immigration and customs companies that is going again to 1789, and it exhibits how attitudes approximately immigration have shifted through the years. It then examines advancements in immigration coverage, in particular because Sep 11, and the problems they current for border safety and immigration reform. ultimately it deals a view to the way forward for immigration coverage and the way it will probably mesh with the calls for of securing the fatherland. The e-book contains real-life tales of inauspicious incidents that come up because of the advanced courting among immigration and border protection. It comprises important info for college kids and students alike, and is a must-read for somebody inquisitive about the way forward for immigration and nationwide defense policy.
From 1910 to 1940, the Angel Island immigration station in San Francisco served because the processing and penitentiary for over 1000000 humans from world wide. the vast majority of beginners got here from China and Japan, yet there have been additionally immigrants from India, the Philippines, Korea, Russia, Mexico, and over seventy different nations.
In Contours of White Ethnicity, Yiorgos Anagnostou explores the development of ethnic heritage and divulges how and why white ethnics selectively keep, remodel, or reject their pasts. difficult the tendency to painting americans of ecu history as a uniform cultural class, the writer demonstrates how a generalized view of yankee white ethnics misses the explicit identification problems with specific teams in addition to their inner variations.

Qu'arrive-t-il à des personnes concerns de l'immigration qui se trouvent soudain, ou demeurent depuis de longues années, entre ici et là-bas, entre sphère privé et sphère publique, entre deux langues et deux cultures ?
Over the past 4 a long time the sociological lifestyles path method with its concentrate on the interaction of constitution and service provider over the years existence direction standpoint has develop into a major examine standpoint within the social sciences. but, whereas it has effectively been utilized to just about all fields of social inquiry it's less utilized in study learning migrant populations and their integration styles.


Republican Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie [right] gave some lively opening remarks at the packed Renewable Energy Conference at the Sheraton-Burlington this morning. "Wind power " and photovoltaics were gospel and Doobie-Doo expressed an open-mindedness on the issue not shared with his running mate - Gov. Jim Douglas.
As morning keynote speaker Paul Gipe put it later, "Vermont is resting on its laurels" when it comes to its environmental reputation. Wind energy in the Green Mountain state is sorely lagging.
"These things we can do together and these things we should do together, and from the perspective where I sit, although there are differences between our governor and our legislature and individuals," said Dubie, "we're gonna work through those differences and we're gonna find solutions and we're gonna continue to move this state forward. Together.
"It is my belief that the work that you do is really carrying on the challenge that that general gave to me," Dubie told the green energy crowd.
"So I applaud you. We need you. We need you to inspire the next generation. We need you to help us train and retain the next workforce. We need you to enhance our moral authority around the world and we can do that by having a more energy-independent nation.
"I want to repeat that: Your work will enhance our moral authority around the world. Think about that for a while. I've heard people say that," said our GOP Lite-Gov, " and it makes sense to me."


Financial inclusion allows lower-income South Africans to participate in the economy, and big data is providing the foundations for innovation strategies to get them there.
Financial inclusion is crucial to the progress and upliftment of South African citizens.
According to the Banking Association of South Africa, financial inclusion means accessing and using a broad range of affordable, quality financial services and products in a manner that's convenient and gives sufficient protection to the client.
While a 2015 FinScope report stated that 77% of South African adults are currently banked, having a bank account is only the starting point for true inclusion. For South Africans to truly be able to benefit from participation in the financial systems of the country, they need to be able to participate in further services, such as insurance as well. Big data, the enormous volume of data generated by people moving through modern existence, has the potential to support them on this journey. This is because the picture that it paints of the underbanked market allows for products and services to be developed for this market.
Some of the benefits that could be delivered to consumers in this space include credit for consumers who had to rely on sometimes exploitative informal credit in the past, the issuance of identity or other government documents for those who lack them, the design of new products that fit the actual needs and realities of the customers, and the ability for financial services providers to enter new markets, increasing competition on price, quality and innovation.
But where can this big data be captured from a largely unbanked population as a starting point?
"Through loyalty and reward programmes from retailers, big data is being harvested from these traditionally unbanked consumer groups. Retailers have also made it possible for these customers to settle most of their major accounts in store, thus eliminating the further need for bank accounts. For these reasons, retailer groups hold a great source of data for just about any sort of consumer in South Africa, be it banked or unbanked," says Sonja Visser, CEO of African Unity Life.
– The increasing number of smart phone users in South Africa creates an opportunity for fintech companies and banks to reach and cater for the unbanked consumer.
From these insights, it is possible for financial services providers, including insurers to develop products that serve this traditionally financially excluded market.
"Traditionally we see premium customers being offered value added services to existing products in the shape of added benefits. There is also scope to offer similar services and benefits to customers in the lower- to middle-income market, to enable those who need it most to also reap the rewards for being financially active in the South African economy," says Visser.
She adds that through their participation in such programmes, insurers can learn more about their customers and their lifestyles and focus on further product development to support them as they become increasingly financially included.
One such example is the partnership between AUL and Spazapp, the developers of an app that enables spaza shop owners to order and track discounted brands and sell services like airtime, to provide mobile sales of funeral cover to customers. The funeral cover can be topped up monthly or bought in advance.
The pilot was launched in November 2017 in Umlazi KwaZulu-Natal to allow customers to purchase funeral cover on a month-to-month basis from a mobile vendor at selected local spaza shops. Area residents found that buying funeral cover was as easy as a trip to their local spaza, salon, car wash or kota store – just like they could buy electricity credits or lotto tickets from a mobile vendor. One hundred existing Spazapp vendors participated in the programme. Twenty supportive service agents, known as "Sparks" received in-app product and service training on how to sell funeral insurance and manage the sales process.
As more and more people are financially included, more and more tailor made services, products and innovations can be offered to this market – creating a snowball effect of inclusion that will ultimately transform these lower-income groups into active participants in the economy.

Biografia

Dopo la campagna di García Hurtado de Mendoza culminata nella battaglia di Quiapo, molti guerrieri Mapuche erano stati uccisi o feriti, e la popolazione era stata decimata a causa della guerra, della mancanza di cibo e di un'epidemia. Eletto poco dopo la battaglia dai capi rimasti, Illangulién decise di lasciare che il suo popolo operasse un'apparente sottomissione agli spagnoli, mentre in realtà lui ed i suoi guerrieri si riunivano segretamente nelle paludi di Lumaco. Qui costruirono una base in cui radunarono le forze addestrando una nuova generazione di guerrieri in vista di una futura rivolta.

Dopo la morte dell'odiato encomendero Pedro de Avendaño nel luglio del 1561, scoppiò una nuova rivolta Mapuche più grande delle precedenti. Illangulién, dopo molti anni di addestramento segreto, iniziò a guidare i propri uomini con razzie in territorio spagnolo per testare i suoi nuovi guerrieri e riconquistare la loro antica terra. Le sue forze si dimostrarono migliori di quelle del governatore spagnolo Francisco de Villagra, sconfiggendolo numerose volte negli anni che seguirono. Dopo la morte di Francisco de Villagra, dovettero confrontarsi con gli uomini di Pedro de Villagra attorno alla città di San Andrés de Los Infantes. Durante la battaglia di Angol, in una serie di mosse e contromosse tra Illangulién e Lorenzo Bernal del Mercado, il toqui riuscì ad assediare la città, avvicinandosi sempre più. Alla fine il comandante della guarnigione riuscì a catturare un distaccamento dei suoi nemici appostati in una scomoda posizione sulle rive del vicino fiume, e spingendoli nel fiume da una ripa scoscesa ne uccise migliaia tra cui lo stesso Illangulien. Era il 1564.

The Seahawk: Chapter One

The Seahawk:
Captain Marlowe sat at her desk and gazed listlessly at a map. The needle on her compass danced back and forth around "West," and she nodded approvingly. The new crew members seemed to be learning quickly.
She tensed at a knock on the cabin door, and her hand automatically went to the hilt of her sword.
"Deci?" a soft voice called from outside.
"Oh, it's just you. Come in, Hermia," she responded and let her hand drop from her cutlass.
The door swung open and briefly flooded the cabin with dazzling sunlight, illuminating Hermia's long, golden hair. Hermia closed the door quickly and walked the short distance to Captain December Marlowe's desk.
"We're almost to port. It should be no more than half an hour at this point," Hermia reported.
"Good. I'm glad to hear it. We could use some time on land, and actually, you and I have an appointment with an important someone once we dock."
"Sheesh! Dare I ask who this important someone is?"
"Because you'll probably just get mad at me and not want to come."
Hermia rolled her eyes and laughed at her longtime friend. "Ok. Forget I asked."
"Done and done!" Captain Marlowe smirked. "But down to business. The orders are the usual for the crew while we're on shore: no fights, no pregnancies, keep a low profile, and be back on board by noon tomorrow. Sound good?"
"Fantastic. I'll relate the instructions to them as soon as we land." Hermia turned to leave, but December put her hand up.
"One more thing, First Mate."
Hermia raised an eyebrow.
"You know the newest girl? What's her name? Lizzy? Bizzy? Something?"
"No, I guess I don't. We have a Bizzy?"
"Ok, the redheaded one."
"Oh, Bernadette. What about her?"
"I have reason to believe she's planning to murder me in my sleep, so let's make sure she doesn't get back on board tomorrow."
"Any particular reason why you think she's plotting your demise?"
"No. Not really. She just looks…shifty. So I hope she'll like Paradise Isle, because that's where she's staying."
"Deci, you've really got to work on being less paranoid. But, ok. If you don't want her on your ship anymore, we'll leave her behind. If that's all, I'll go see to the docking."
Captain Marlowe nodded with a sheepish smile, and Hermia slipped out the cabin door. She watched the crew work through the windows, lines being drawn taught and loosened, sails flapping in the wind.
At any given time, the Seahawk had roughly fifteen souls aboard, all women, save for the ship's cook, a eunuch named Jasper. She was a larger ship, equipped with just enough weaponry to allow for success in battle and the plundering that usually followed. As a ship full of seemingly-innocent women, they had escaped the authorities for years, but December knew they were still at risk every time they docked.
She rose from her desk and snuck to the doorway of her cabin to watch Hermia dispatch the crew. The small woman was usually soft-spoken, except when she found herself giving orders.
"Should you wish to make this island your new home, please, by all means, start a bar fight! Find yourself in the arms of a lover at an inopportune time of the month! Get arrested! Or just plain abandon ship! But should you wish to continue to serve aboard the Seahawk, keep a low profile, make merry quietly, and be back on this deck no later than noon tomorrow! Is that clear?" she bellowed.
"Aye!" the crew called back.
"Then please have yourselves a good time, and we'll see you tomorrow should you wish to return to your duties."
The women of the Seahawk filed down the gangplank to the dock and quickly disappeared among houses, inns and market stalls.
"Jasper, a word before you leave, please?"
"Aye, Ma'am?" He looked down at the First Mate apprehensively, twisting his long mustache between his fingers.
"I know you're on your way to the market and you have your own schedule, too, but when we board tomorrow, would you kindly see to it that Miss Bernadette does not board with us?"
He nodded knowingly and lowered his voice, "Blood or no blood?"
"None if you can help it, dear Jasper," Hermia smiled as she spoke.
"Alright, Jasper. You may go now."
He nodded again and quickly descended the gangplank to the dock.
"That went well, don't you think?" Hermia turned and faced her captain. "I knew you were standing there the whole time, by the way."
"I know. And I knew you knew."
"Are you going to tell me where we're going yet?"
"You're scary when you're angry, throwing those temple curses this way and that, calling on the war gods and the generally wrathful gods to smite people, places and things. It's unnerving."
"Ugh! Can we just go wherever it is we're headed now so I'll know why I'm going to be so angry?"
December grinned and laughed as she said, "Oh, thank goodness! I thought you would never ask!" She dashed past Hermia, down the plank and to the dock.
Hermia shook her head and followed her captain into town.
"I could just divine it, you know," Hermia said when she caught up.
"Yeah, but that would take too much time."
"It would not!"
"Patience, Hermia, patience. Besides, I don't even know if this is really going to pan out."
They walked along a well-worn dirt road away from the main drag of the little village. Hermia scowled at her friend, and December grinned back from time to time. At length, they arrived in front of a dilapidated, weather damaged inn. December began to make her way up the path to the door, but Hermia stayed glued at the vine-covered archway.
"You must be joking. You're joking, right?" Hermia's voice suddenly became shrill.
December walked the back down the path to face her friend. "Ok, I said you were going to be mad, and you clearly are, but just know that I have a plan this time."
"I'm going to kill her," Hermia whispered.
"No, that ruins the plan."
Hermia grabbed the dagger she'd stored between her breasts and shrieked, "I'm going to—uff!"
December tackled her into the bushes and wrestled the knife out of Hermia's hand.
"Deci, give me my knife! Give it back now," she growled.
"No! Not if you're just going to rush in there and kill the damned priestess!"
"She deserves to die! Give me back my weapon!"
"She's surrounded by dozens of guards! You're just going to get us killed! Just…. Ow! Stop biting me!"
"Naw! I ron't! I rill kill her!"
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Stop it!" December wrenched her arm from Hermia's mouth and delicately placed the dagger between the First Mate's teeth. "See? I gave it back! There's no need to bite me!"
"Shank oo, Deshi. Shorry."
"If I let you back up, do you promise not to go on a killing spree?"
"Yesh."
"Remember, the crew's supposed to keep a low profile, and that includes you and me, too."
Hermia glared and nodded.
"This really is for the best. I really do have a plan," December huffed as she released her seething companion.
Hermia spat the knife into her hand and begrudgingly slid it back into its sheath. "This is a really bad idea."
"Yeah, maybe."
"As your First Mate and your resident prophetess of the High Order, I'm telling you this is a bad idea."
"Duly noted," December brushed dirt from her clothes as she spoke. "However, as Captain December Marlowe of the Seahawk, I'm just going to tell you that I really, really do have a plan. A sneaky and underhanded plan, no less."
"Ok," Hermia sighed. "Shall we?"
"We shall! After you!" December grinned gleefully and followed Hermia into the old inn.

Need help to determine why I loose the white default background (drawing area) to Illustrator 9.0 upgrade. Pallets are present, just no drawing area. My 7.01 works fine, but in order to repair the problem, both 7.01 and 9.0 have to be totally uninstalled and then reinstalled. There must be an easier way around this problem that has been plaguing my Windows 98 pc.
Try tapping the [F] key a few times. Otherwise delete your AIPrefs file.
Deleting the AIPrefs files (found two) did the trick. I don't know what they contained, but I'm up and running again. Thanks a lot.
You'll notice all you personal settings are reset, but that's the worst side-effect.

Japanese mobile carrier Softbank Corp may buy a majority stake in Sprint Nextel Corp to establish a foothold in the U.S. wireless market, in what could be the largest Japanese acquisition ever in America.
In response to reports of a pending deal, Sprint said on Thursday that it was in talks with Softbank on a "potential substantial investment" that could involve a change in control of the company. It said there was no assurance of a sale.
Softbank is eyeing a controlling stake in Sprint worth more than 1 trillion yen ($12.8 billion), according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter, adding that the Japanese company is in talks with several banks to borrow money to finance a bid.
A second source familiar with the situation, who declined to speak publicly about the matter, said Softbank has been exploring ways to get into the U.S. market since this summer, as it sees opportunities for growth here that would help offset a stagnating market in Japan.
Sprint shares rose as much as 19 percent to levels not seen since the summer of 2011, on the heaviest volume in the stock's history. The shares of wireless carrier Clearwire Corp, which could play a key role in any deal, rose 38 percent.
"The addition of Softbank would provide a deep-pocketed partner - removing any financing risk and meaningfully reducing (Sprint's) ongoing cost of capital," Evercore analyst Jonathan Schildkraut said.
At $12.8 billion, the deal would be almost one-third larger than the previous top Japanese deal in the United States, NTT Docomo's 2000 investment in AT&T Wireless.
Sprint, whose market capitalization was $15.12 billion at Wednesday's market close, is the third-largest U.S. carrier, with more than 56 million users at the end of June. It is in the middle of a costly network upgrade that has led it to consider a range of partnerships.
One analyst said Sprint might be the Japanese company's only option if it is eyeing the American market.
The Softbank news comes just days after a source told Reuters that Sprint has been considering whether to make a bid for smaller rival MetroPCS Communications Inc, which agreed this month to merge with Deutsche Telekom AG's and NTT Docomo.
As it chases market share, Softbank said this month it would buy smaller mobile service operator eAccess Ltd in a $1.84 billion deal. It said the buy would give it a total of 39 million users, just ahead of KDDI's 36 million.
Wells Fargo's Fritzsche said regulators would likely look favorably upon a deal that would bring an outside international player to the United States.

TECNO renews partnership with UNHCR to support primary education in Africa for refugees
PUBLISHED: Tue, 01 Jun 2021 08:31:31 GMT

Premium smartphone brand TECNO (www.TECNO-Mobile.com) today announced the renewal of its partnership with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, to support UNHCR's global program in primary education, Educate A Child (EAC). The partnership aims to support the improvement of refugee children's education in Africa, ensuring refugee children's right to education and ultimately contribute to equal access to education for all.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the learning conditions of refugee children, causing school closures in Africa over the school year. By contributing financially to the EAC program, TECNO's support has benefited children in Kenya's Dadaab camp by providing them with textbooks and school kits. In addition, TECNO donated tablets to support continued learning of refugee children during school closure, as well as 50,000 medical face masks for UNHCR Kenya to support its COVID-19 response.
In 2021, TECNO and UNHCR will continue the partnership to benefit a total of 10,670 refugee children in Uganda and Kenya. TECNO's financial contribution to the EAC program will contribute to the holistic intervention in these locations including improvement of school infrastructure, material assistance to students, training for teachers, and support for refugee students with special needs.
Uganda and Kenya are amongst the world's top host countries for refugees. Uganda is the largest one in Africa. Over half of the refugees in the two countries are below 18 years old (58% in Uganda and 53% in Kenya). While some refugees may have the access to study in public educational institutions, the shortage of learning resources has put many refugee children at risk of dropping out of school. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa, continuous commitment from TECNO is important to support a safe school reopening and better access for refugee children to continue their primary education, laying the foundation for them to pursue higher education in the future.
Vivian Tan, UNHCR Representative ad interim in China, expressed appreciation for the continued support from TECNO. "UNHCR welcomes this renewed partnership," she said. "COVID-19 has interrupted learning in many countries, and refugee children are no exception. Support from our private sector partners like TECNO is critical for UNHCR to continue and strengthen our efforts to support refugee learners and students to continue their education in this difficult time, and in the post-COVID time. The Chinese private sector can play an important role in addressing the gaps in refugee education globally, including providing financial contribution, technology and innovative solutions. We hope more Chinese private sector actors will be inspired by the partnership between TECNO and UNHCR."
Stephen Ha, General Manager of TECNO said, "With the renewed partnership with UNHCR, we hope to continue our support in improving the learning conditions of refugee children. As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility, TECNO is committed to giving back to the community where we are present. In the post-COVID time, we will amplify our efforts, especially using digital solutions to increase educational opportunity and enhance education quality for children in Africa so that they could receive better education and be better connected with the world."
Inclusive and equitable quality education is Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and is also a long-term goal for UNHCR. Since 2020, UNHCR has been working with different partners to implement the EAC program that aims to provide 365,000 out-of-school children with primary education in 14 operations by 2022. Out of the 14 countries, Kenya and Uganda are two key operations. Despite the huge impact of COVID-19, UNHCR remains committed to advancing inclusive and equitable quality education for refugee children.
By the end of 2020, an estimated 4.2 million children and youth of concern to UNHCR have been affected by the pandemic globally. Once out of school, many refugee children will never return. UNHCR has been making efforts to create more equitable and inclusive educational access for displaced and refugee children so that they could all return to school. UNHCR and TECNO will deepen their partnership, through which they hope to engage more with corporate employees, partners and the wider public audience to strengthen understanding and support for education in Africa.

In what episode Blair said: "Whoever sagte that money doesn't buy hapiness didn't know where to shop"???
Du guys, I need your help about Blair's picture.
I was wondering myself why we didn't get to see our beloved Queen B wearing her famous headbands on the third season, then I remember the S*tupid Dan Humphrey dare to say to the UES princess "No Mehr headbands in college" and I think since that moment vorwärts-, nach vorn Queen B didn't wear a headband again. Like I sagte before I was missing and still I'm missing the headbands and gegeben that last season we only got a few headbands from our Queen B I decided to post my oben, nach oben ten Blair's headbands. So which one is your favorite?
Blair: I'm just as flummoxed as Du are. I got out at 53rd and made a run for it but he is faster than he looks.
Blair: Oh Nate, what are Du doing here? I thought there was a Mets game. I saw Dorota wearing her hat.
Blair: Penelope, take off that hideous scarf. Du can see it from space.
Blair: Serena's been in jail for four hours, she's already served Mehr time than Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie combined!
Chuck: What are Du doing with this insect?
Blair: Help me? Is that what Du were doing at your little gentleman's club while my life was going up in flames? I'd rather take Carter's help.
Blair: A hot lifeguard is like kleenex! Use once and throw away. Du could ask for a better rebound!
Blair: Saturday... and you're kinda not invited. Since, until 12 hours ago, we all thought Du were at boarding school. And Jenny used up all the invites.
Blair: We should get going, unless Du want us to wait for you. Looks like Du got a lot of yogurt left.
Serena: I Liebe you, B.
Blair Waldorf: [after waking up in bett together] Du were on the floor!
Blair Waldorf: How? It's not like Du ever do anything athletic.
There may only be room for one Queen bee to rule the school, but there are Mehr than enough harsh one-liners to go around.
a comment was made to the poll: What other tv Zeigen would Blair fit into?
Serena: B, what are Du doing? Blair: Giving Home schooling some serious consideration. From which episode?

The film is based on a novel about an Italian soldier's experiences during the Italian occupation of the Greek island of Cephalonia (Kefalonia), but Hollywood made it into a pure love story by removing much of the "unpleasant" stuff.

Canada Hosts the FIFA Women's World Cup This Summer
Canada is hosting the FIFA Women's World Cup 2015 this summer from June 6 until July 5, played in six venues spanning across the country. The world's finest female players will have the chance to showcase their ability this summer. As the host nation, the Canadian team has automatically qualified for the tournament. Last year's FIFA World Cup Final between Germany and Argentina was watched by an estimated 1 billion viewers across the globe.
The United States and Costa Rica qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015 after winning the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Women's Championship. Switzerland and England became the first two European nations to qualify for the FIFA Women's World Cup Canada 2015 after their successful campaigns during the UEFA European qualifiers. Norway, Germany, Spain, France and Sweden followed suit. It was left to Italy, The Netherlands, Scotland and Ukraine to battle it out in the play-offs for the final European ticket to Canada, from which The Netherlands emerged as the victors.
Vancouver, B.C. will be one of the Canadian cities in which the Women's World Cup games will be played, including the final match on July 5th. The Vancouver matches will be held at BC Place, Canada's premier soccer stadium. BC Place recently underwent a major revitalization costing some $563 millions dollars, and when it reopened in 2011, it boasted many impressive upgrades including the largest cable-supported retractable roof of its kind in the world.
This world-class stadium sits right in the heart of downtown Vancouver, an excellent and easily-accessible location from major hotels, restaurants, shopping and entertainment. This is a great opportunity to watch the games live and to explore the beauty of British Columbia! We will be happy to assist you with any arrangements for groups or incentives to come and enjoy this truly worldwide sport.
