Sunday's Labor Day Bojangles' Southern 500 from Darlington Raceway is a beloved event among Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series fans. As one of NASCAR's most historic events, it has an allure unlike any other race on the schedule.
By the checkered flag, Brad Keselowski and Team Penske were in Victory Lane at the Track Too Tough to Tame. It is Keselowski's twenty-fifth career Cup win and first of 2018.
With the Southern 500's historic reputation, many teams unveiled special throwback schemes for the race. Keselowski drove a Miller Genuine Draft design inspired by former #2 driver Rusty Wallace, while others like William Byron raced with the iconic rainbow scheme of Jeff Gordon.
Roush Fenway Racing owner Jack Roush assisted Bojangles' Vice President of Marketing Randy Poindexter Sr. in giving the command. In tribute to NASCAR entering its seventh decade of competition, seven figures piloted the pace cars: Richard Childress Racing and Hendrick Motorsports bosses Richard Childress and Rick Hendrick, four-time Camping World Truck Series champion Ron Hornaday Jr., Cup veterans Ricky Craven, Jeff and Ward Burton, and champion crew chief Ray Evernham.
Denny Hamlin, driving a throwback to his first mini stock car in the late 1990s, won the pole at Darlington for the first time. Kyle Larson, driving a Davey Allison tribute car, started second. Jimmie Johnson, in a car mirroring his 2012 Darlington win (the 200th victory for Hendrick), and Jamie McMurray, in a Bill Elliott-style McDonald's throwback, were sent to the rear for unapproved adjustments and an engine change, respectively.
After a brief delay for lightning, the race was underway. Hamlin led the first 12 laps before Larson passed him. As Larson built his lead, Martin Truex Jr. battled with Hamlin for second. On lap 29, Alex Bowman suffered a flat right rear tire and pitted.
Truex cleared Hamlin for second on lap 36 before losing it to Erik Jones. Hamlin eventually fell to fifth when Joey Logano passed him, followed by pitting on lap 46 to begin green flag pit stops. Larson pitted on lap 49 and resumed leading four laps later.
By lap 60, McMurray entered the top twenty after his last-place start. Meanwhile, fellow rear starter Johnson had to pit for a vibration, but eventually suffered a commitment line violation and had to serve a pass-through penalty.
As Larson led, he approached Austin Dillon, who was running in thirteenth and determined to not be lapped by the #42. With one lap remaining in the stage, Dillon slid up and collided with Larson, who brushed the wall. Despite the contact, Larson scored the stage win. Jones finished second, followed by Truex, Logano, Keselowski, Kevin Harvick, Hamlin, Kurt and Kyle Busch, and Chase Elliott.
Between stages, Larson won the race off pit road as Jones was penalized for an uncontrolled tire.

Stage #2 began on lap 107 with Larson leading Logano. Larson once again built a strong lead; after fifteen laps, it ballooned to over two seconds. On lap 127, Joey Gase was clipped by Kyle Busch, spinning him. As the leaders pitted, Truex was the first to exit the pits and became the leader for the lap 133 restart.
On lap 159, Larson reclaimed the lead, while Harvick took second from Truex shortly after. The next cycle of green flag stops began on lap 163; during his stop, Truex suffered an uncontrolled tire penalty. Larson continued to stay out for the remainder of the stage, including lapping Dillon to prevent Truex from receiving the free pass. Behind Larson were Keselowski, Logano, Elliott, Jones, Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman, Kyle Busch, McMurray, and Harvick.
The final stage began on lap 207 with Larson at the helm. On lap 223, Daniel Suárez had a flat right front tire, but there was no caution as he pitted. Johnson eventually also pitted and retired from the race with an engine failure.
Harvick pitted on lap 244 to begin a new run of stops under green. During their stops, Dillon and McMurray were slapped with uncontrolled tire and commitment line violations, respectively Larson pitted on lap 259 to relinquish the lead to Keselowski, though he retook the spot (then held by Logano after Keselowski pitted on lap 261) on lap 278.
As the race entered the 300-lap mark, only eight cars ran on the lead lap as teams attempted various strategies (Larson, Jones, Elliott, Kyle Busch, Keselowski, Hamlin, Newman, Byron).
On lap 311, Newman was slowing down to pit when Bowyer, unaware of Newman's intention, drove into the #31, destroying their cars as they spun up into the wall. Jeffrey Earnhardt slid and brushed the wall.
The restart took place on lap 322 with Larson leading Keselowski. Six laps later, the caution came out for debris. Another brief moment of green flag racing lasted from lap 337 to 343 before Earnhardt spun.
On the ensuing race off pit road, Keselowski edged out Larson to become the new leader. The green flag waved on lap 348 as Keselowski pulled ahead. Larson lost second to Logano, who could not catch up to his Penske team-mate as Keselowski scored his first Cup win at Darlington and completed the weekend sweep (he also won Saturday's Xfinity Series race). For Team Penske, it was the organization's first at Darlington since Bobby Allison won both races in 1975.
"This has got to be the biggest [win], it's a major," Keselowski stated in a Victory Lane interview with NBCSN. "It's Darlington. I didn't know coming into today if we were going to be fast enough to win, and in the race, as soon as they dropped the green, I knew this thing was fly. It was a Rusty Wallace hot rod today."
"The 42 was really strong. Probably whoever came off pit road first at the end was going to win the race, but my team nailed the last pit stop."
Logano finished second, while Larson, who led 284 of 367 laps, had to settle for third. Harvick took fourth, followed by Elliott, Kurt and Kyle Busch, Jones, McMurray, and Hamlin.
Next week, the final race before the playoffs will take place at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Kasey Kahne is the defending winner.

For the same weekend as North Fife Open Studios, I am also part of 'The Artline' Open Doors Weekend 7th & 8th May 2016, 10am – 6pm. The Artline lies on the Edinburgh to Dundee main railway line in Fife, from North Queensferry to Cupar.
During the Artline Open Doors weekend the focus will be on the station buildings and adjacent venues which people can easily access travelling by train. The visitor will discover an interesting selection of paintings, poetry, jewellery and artefacts of bygone days.


My classmates reflect the great diversity of Chicago.
I would tell myself to do things that make me happy. For a while I only did things to appease others, but I've finally realized that I am the one who has to live with my decisions and I only get one life to live. I would also tell myself not to stress out over the little things because eventually those all fall into place.
People with open minds should aattend Roosevelt. It is an extremely diverse school that offers many things to thos who are willing to open themselves up to it.
Roosevelt University has a campus located on 430 S. Michigan with a cluster of stores and restaurants surrounding it. Four blocks away is the other building at 18 S. Michigan with the exact same sentiments. .
Roosevelt's importance on social justice is an important part of why Roosevelt has a diverse population. We have an array of students from those partaking in the music program CCPA to students who are involved in everything from Biology, Psychology, History, and Creative Writing. The students at Roosevelt are nice and welcoming, and are willing to help other students if needed. Roaming through the halls you are likely to find a music major conversing with a Biology or Psychology major, and I think that has a lot to do with the fact that students don't look at lables and feel the need to associate with those who are only Biology majors or History majors. We don't partake in cliques. Every student there, is focused on obtaining their specific degree with the intent to find a place of employment. We are not focused on how each student is finanicially able to attend Roosevelt. We focus more on raising awareness about issues that are important to us and that we feel should be changed.
The academics at Roosevelt are very good. Professors in the specific departments such as journalism for example, know the students by name. The professors at Roosevelt also have actual experience within their field which is helpful for the students because we can learn about what it takes to pursue a career in that field as well as learning about what is currently taking place in that field. For example, I am a journalism major. The professors in my field are able to tell me what editors are looking for in the newsroom when it comes to the style or tone of the articles that we write. Professors also invite other journalists that are working in the field to our classroom to give the students relevant information about what's taking place in the journalism field.
Roosevelt just started having sports on campus. Last year was the first year for the boys and girls basketball teams, the track team, the tennis team and the baseball team. We now have those sports. School spirit has increased so much since the sports have come on campus.
The most popular group is SPEED the student activity board. I myself am a member of Alpha Gamma Delta women's fraternity. There are student groups such as, student government, students for a responsible drug policy, the women's movement group, there is a multi cultural sorority and many other groups. There is something for everyone to join if they want to.
There is every type of person represented on Roosevelt's campus. Student's tend to dress nicer for class than at a traditional campus. No pajamas and often not sweatpants either. Most students do come from Chicago suburbs, I myself did not and had no problem fitting in. A lot of students here get a big scholarship so while it is a private university the majority of students are from the middle class. Students here are extremely liberal as are the professors.
All my classes are extremely small. The biggest class I have ever been in is 40 people. The teachers all have known my name. My major specific classes have been between 8-15 people per class. I have been lucky enough to have plenty of one on one time with pure genius in the profession I intend to have a career in. Everyone participates and the students are all so willing to help each other out. My classes have been interesting and thought provoking. The education at the school is geared toward getting a job and getting it because you are better educated than any other college student from another school. We don't learn from textbooks as much as from hands on experiences and learning by doing.
We are all commuters and older non traditional students but that is absolutely not the case.
If i Could go Back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior,knowing what i know now about college life and making the transtions I would have put more effort in to school did more activites,attened college fairs and vounlenteer! When i was a senior in high school i really didn't have college on my mind i just wanted to finish school,i didn't take high school serious in till i got a taste of the real world and i knew i had to go to college in order to have a better life and provide for my eight month old son! going to college now i love it my grades are better than they were in highschool im more confident and i put effort into my work because i want a better future! being a single mother is hard, but i just want to make my son proud of me in too know that everyone deserves a second chance and that you can do anything if you just put your mind and time to it!
Had I been allowed to I would have remained in high school, and went on to persue my education in the medical field as as I did later in life things would have gone much smoother. The only regret I have was that I couldn't get my education earlier. I would tell anyone to persue your education early, make it a top priority. Life will go much better with a good foundation. Then you can build your dreams upon your skills. Your education is something you have earned that no one can take away.
The most important thing I would tell myself is to plan for the future. I would tell myself to take the time to actually investigate what options I have, pick one, and go to school NOW. I would say you can either decide to work using your brain or your back. Whichever one you decide you will be using for the majority of your working career. I would advise myself to wait to get married and to have a real means of supporting a household. I would enlighten my young self to the struggles of the real world and how much harder things can be if you're unprepared. I would convince myself that there really isnt a better option than pursuing more education and a better carreer as a result. Overall I would try to remove any doubts and fears about attending college. The final point I would drive home is the unlimited potential for sucess that is available if I'm willing to put in the effort and the joy that accompanies reaching my goals.
When I was A high school senior, I wasn't really to sure exactly what I wanted to go to college for. I knew that I wanted to attend a college close to home, and knew that I wanted to go into the medical field. I then attended a college where I was goin for A BSN as an RN, I then became pregnant and stayed in school until I had my daughter. I took off a semester where I then went back to school at a different college. I graduated from there with an Associates degree in science. I took the entry test for nursing and didn't do as well as I wanted. It was about two years later that I decided to go back to school, but this time I changed my major to a Surgical Technologist, and I love it. If I knew then, what i know now, I would have made sure that I knew exactly what I wanted to major in before I started school, and I would have not took off a semester after having my daughter, I would have puhed myself t the end.
If I could go back in time during my high school years as a senior, and knowing what Iam knowing now, I would have to say that I would have to choose college right after. During those times,I really didn't think about how long that it was going to take me to start and pay for school. Back then I did not understand how the payment process of tring to go to school will affect me. I had heard of the financial aid and scholarship s that were out there for me, but I did not have anyone to actually help understand on how the process goes. By then I already enrolled my self into the Army in 1997, having my life planned ahead ofr already. I enjoyed every minute of protecting my country. But something was just missing for me. During mt time in the service I never really had the opprutunity to enroll because I was so busy all the time from work. It's never too late to go to school. I had always admire to to become a nurse or a medical assistant. And now that I am in school, I'm Happy.
My name is Caroyn Hassell I am a high school graduate.
Roosevelt might actually be one of the best schools that the midwest has to offer if you're looking for diversity, an amazing education, and making lifelong friends and networking possibilities.
Roosevelt University is an urban campus with probably the most ethnic/racial, financially, and religiously diverse school I have considered. I feel like I'm exposed to so many different people and backgrounds and ideas that I would have never experienced otherwise. I have the opportunity to learn in an environment most people only dream about. The classrooms are intimate, so everyone gets a fairly great chance to talk to everyone. Roosevelt students and faculty are EXTREMELY personable and the atmosphere alone inspires greatness knowing that your education is not only focused on, but cared about.
Though being a high school senior was not such a long time ago for me, since my start at university life, I feel like I view the world through different eyes, and would have so much to share with my past self. As far as what I know, I would let myself be surprised, but hint that so much would be learned about myself and the career that I want, and Roosevelt is the right place to help get the most out of my education. As far as making the transition, I would suggest saving while I can. When I was warned that college was expensive, I didn't take those words as seriously as I should have. I would tell myself that I would be alone as far as money goes and would not have the emotional and financial support of those around me, and I have to be strong and persistent enough on my own to make it through the years to come, but that the reward of a great education is incomparable to any dollar amount and heartache associated with family betrayal. Be strong, and have faith in yourself would be the greatest words spoken to myself.

Watch: A fight broke out at a 'Star Wars' film show because a viewer was checking his phone
In Vancouver, Canada, a fan was enraged by his neighbour texting during the much-awaited 'The Rise of Skywalker.'
This dude lost it when someone checked their phone screen during the opening of @starwars The theatre was forced to restart the movie from the beginning. The irony was beautiful. @globalnews @globalbc @ctv @cbcvancouver @bt_vancouver @cbc #vancouver #canada #starwarsfan @dailyhivevancouver

A brawl erupted at a Vancouver screening of the latest instalment of the "Star Wars" movies, The Rise of Skywalker, when a fan became upset at another viewer using their phone during the film.
According to EW.com, a man was allegedly punched during the fight. In the aftermath of the fight, filmed by another moviegoer, the fan is seen screaming at the cellphone user while being escorted out from the theatre.
"I am a real Star Wars fan," he said. "I waited a goddamned year for this and some a-hole turned his phone on next to me! Use your f***ing heads."
Joe Bond, who was allegedly punched, explained why he felt compelled to check his cellphone, in an interview with CTV News, "It was our [his and his wife's] first night with a babysitter looking after both kids."
"He lost it at me," Bond said. "I told him to calm down and if he doesn't calm down then I was going to get somebody – and then he hit me in the face." He also commented, "Star Wars fans are very serious but I think this guy was on the next level."

Day 19 was Election Day in Canada! In the middle of our busy Monday, between my trip to the office and Chloe's piano lesson, we took time to walk down the street to our polling station to vote. Leading up to this election and throughout the day we have had a chance to discuss political parties, their platforms and why we vote for who we do. We also had a provincial election earlier this year, so it has been a great time to teach about Canadian politics.
Some polling stations had lineups as record numbers of people came out to vote for change. As I watch the results tonight, I am happy to say a new government has formed and we have a new Prime Minister!

Disrupting Regulation? State Capacities in the Digital Platform Economy
The rise of digital platforms for sharing, swapping, or renting goods and services has fundamentally transformed the ways in which people, capital, and labor circulate. In the growing literature on this phenomenon of the platform economy, many authors have taken the stance that this ongoing process of 'platformization' not only leads to a complete restructuring of various markets, but also to a 'disruption' of governmental state capacities. According to these scholars, the fact that platforms such as Airbnb or Uber operate globally and transcend national jurisdictions creates far-reaching legal uncertainty that would ultimately render traditional regulatory approaches toothless. The state and its regulatory instruments are therefore considered unable to solve the challenges of today's globalized economy.
Empirical studies supporting this claim, however, are scant. By analyzing and comparing the intended and unintended consequences of so-called "Anti-Airbnb Laws" in New York City, Berlin and Barcelona, the chapter provides evidence to the contrary. Far from being "disrupted," it shows that the difficulties of implementing and enforcing regulations in the platform economy do not derive so much from the techno-legal structure of digital platforms, but from a struggle between interest groups within state apparatuses on how to adequately govern the flows enabled by the emergence of digital platforms.
While on the surface it might therefore seem as if digital platforms are indeed fundamentally challenging state capacities, the chapter demonstrates that the regulatory problems associated with the rise of the platform economy are primarily of a political nature. As such, it argues that it is not the techno-legal structure of platforms that disrupts the regulatory capacity of the state, but the particular social relations in which these technologies are embedded.

The full theatrical trailer for Mad Max: Fury Road has dropped - and it's all kinds of awesome.
Tom Hardy stars alongside a barely recognisable Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult in the long-awaited reboot of the movie franchise that shot Mel Gibson to fame in 1979.
Shunning the usual movie trailer conventions of a portentous voiceover and a careful summary of the plot, the promo combines increasingly chaotic action sequences with classical music and just the odd snippet of dialogue.
Shot predominantly in a burnt-orange colour palette, the movie is helmed by original Mad Max director George Miller.
It's set to open in cinemas next May - and we'll be first in the queue at the box office!

Days before the Texas school shooting, Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke campaigned to remove AR-15s and other 'weapons of war' from civilian life

Days before the shooting in Texas, Beto O'Rourke campaigned hard against the use of AR-15 rifles.
O'Rourke said AR-15s and AK-47s are "weapons of war" that are "designed to kill humans."
He also said that those who currently own such firearms shouldn't be allowed to keep them.
Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke campaigned against firearms like AR-15 rifles in the days before the mass school shooting in Uvalde, arguing that such "weapons of war" have no place in society.
O'Rourke spoke at two separate campaign events on May 21, just days before the shooting on May 24.
At the events, he reiterated his stance on weapons like the AR-15, which was used by the Uvalde gunman to fatally shoot 21 people, including 19 children, at the Robb Elementary School.
"I think we are fools to believe anything other than that these weapons of war will continue to be used with greater frequency against our fellow Americans," O'Rourke said while speaking to veterans at a town hall meeting in Abilene, Texas.
"It's why I've taken the position that I don't think we should have AR-15s and AK-47s in civilian life," he said. "They belong on a battlefield."
O'Rourke said as much while speaking to a separate group of veterans in San Angelo that same day.
At this event, O'Rourke said he knew he had taken a politically unpopular stance against such guns but was forging ahead with it anyway.
"My kids are my conscience," he said. "And I may win or lose this race, but I'm always going to have to face them and answer for what I've done or failed to do when I had the chance to do something."
"And I just took the position that may not be politically popular, or maybe too honest, that only should no one be able to purchase an AR-15 or an AK-47," he said. "Because they're designed to kill humans."
O'Rourke then added that he did not think that current owners of AR-15s should be allowed to keep them. He added that he was hoping to find a "consensus" about whether AR-15s should be legal or not.
O'Rourke has long held the stance that people should not be able to possess AR-15s. He is known for famously declaring that he would confiscate AR-15s during a debate in 2019 when he was running for president.
He also made headlines when he confronted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott during a press conference after the Uvalde shooting, accusing Abbott of "doing nothing" to stop gun violence.

Purdue's Emily Bretscher claims bronze medal at Big Ten Diving Championships
Mike Carmin
Lafayette Journal & Courier
WEST LAFAYETTE - Emily Bretscher's career-best list score in the 3-meter diving competition earned the senior the bronze medal at the Big Ten Divining Championships at Purdue's Morgan J. Burke Aquatic Center.
She held off 2019 Big Ten 3-meter champion Sarah Bacon from Minnesota by 0.9 tenths of a point for the final place on the podium. Bretscher won the conference championship in the event last year.
All six Boilermakers that competed Thursday scored.
Brandon Loschiavo, Greg Duncan and Ben Bramley finished first, fourth and sixth in the 1-meter consolation final. Maggie Merriman and Maycey Vieta also scored on 3-meter, with Merriman placing 12th in the consolation final and Vieta 17th in the prelim.
Indiana's Anne Fowler won the women's 3-meter championship with a score of 373.9, followed by Nebraska's Abigail Knapton (373.2) and Bretcher (369.9).
Indiana's Andrew Capobianco claimed the gold medal in the 1-meter championship with a score of 437.35. Teammate Mory Gould (409.05) was second and Ohio State's Lyle Yost (388.35) was third.
The Boilermakers' best finish on the opening day of the Big Ten Championships in Geneva, Ohio came from senior Curt Eckstein, who placed sixth in the 3,000. His time was 8:06.24.
Through four events, junior Isaiah Martin leads the heptathlon with 3,163 points. He placed first in the long jump (7.25 meters), second in the shot put (13.71 meters) and third in the high jump (1.97 meters).
Sophomore Johnny Vanos was seventh in the weight throw (20.06 meters).
Sophomore Simi Akinrinsola was eighth in the women's weight throw (18.92 meters).
Freshman LJ Hill placed eighth in the long jump (7.20 meters).
The women's distance medley relay was seventh (11:39.49). The team consisted of sophomores Emma Tate and Saran Kouyeth, freshman Payne Turney and senior Megan Slamkowski.
Senior Brian Faust (200), sophomore Marcellus Moore (21.09), freshman K'Ja Talley (60-hurdle) and freshman Nikia Smith (60-hurdles) advanced to the finals in their events

Now, the question is, what do we need to do to get them to recover ? said Dr. Frank Ridgleyhead of conservation and research at Zoo Miami. Biologists believe they have the answer. Executives of the Patch of Heaven Sanctuary, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating habitats for wildlife, in February finished building what they claim is the largest bat house in the world in an effort to save Floridas high flyers. Nobody else is doing this kind of work. Not on this scale, said Frederick Hubbard, the sanctuarys executive director. The two-tier structure can house up to 250,000 bats. The University of Florida boasts large bat houses of The University of Florida own.According to the [ UF ] web site, theyre the biggest occupied bat houses in the world, Frederick Hubbard told the Miami Herald. Our bat house is technically bigger. Were trying to get the wording right on that. Frederick Hubbard says the batstend to form colonies, living together and procreating. The new two-tier bat house can hold up to 250,000 total bats. ( Elina Shirazi/Fox News) Theres usually a dominant male, a large male who establishes and claims these coveted kinds of spaces and then he tries to attract females and the females tend to then be attracted to a male who is going to defend the territory and keep a safe space for them, Ridgley said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Ridgley says the bats are vital to biodiversity and in fact helpful to humans. Theyre cleaning up our skies. Theyre providing all these services and in some parts of the country, you know, bats literally provide billions of dollars of services to the residents, Ridgley said. Ridgley said its hard to know the history of the bats since they were only discovered as a unique species in 2004. There was very little known about this bat just about a decade ago. I mean they only knew of one place where they were roosting and it was a mystery across their whole range here in South Florida. Anything about them, you know, what kind of groups they had, what they need to survive. So there was a lot of intensive study going into answering some of these questions, said Ridgley. Ridgley estimates their population is now only in the hundreds, and technology is helping them to keep track. One device they use, an echo meter, plugs into a cell phone and identifies the type of bat and itslocation based off of sound. They do a type of echolocation and supposedly they have some recorded sounds that theyre going to be able to put up into the bat-house that will attract them, said Frederick Hubbard. Creators claim this bat house at the Patch of Heaven Sanctuary is the largest in the world. Frederick Hubbard said that if their project accomplishes its aim, it may help rewrite the fate of these bats who have lost almost all of their habitat. For now, Frederick Hubbard said they are patiently waiting for the bats to rent out their space. Come home.

5G: Bigger, better, faster, more – and secure!
Lower latency, greater reliability, greater throughput, higher connectivity density, better coverage and higher mobility range: This is the technical promise of 5G, the next generation of wireless networks.
To translate: bigger, better, faster, more! 5G will open up new usage of mobile services and massively broaden the scope of connected objects in the Internet of Things (IoT). At the same time, the need for security and privacy not only remains, but will grow significantly along with the explosion of opportunities. Requirements will also change as new use cases are enabled. To make sure security is integrated at an early stage as a core part of the 5G architecture and developments, the SIMalliance - the global, non-profit industry association which simplifies aspects of hardware-based device security to drive the creation, deployment and management of secure mobile services - has published a whitepaper taking a closer look at the security needs of the 5G market.
Massive IoT: Sensors and equipment connected to networks, data being exchanged with the cloud. In these segments the SIM is increasingly a piece of embedded hardware.
Critical communications: Industrial solutions and solutions such as traffic control systems, where we need close links between equipment and networks and continuity of service.
Enhanced broadband: smartphones, tablets, etc. We already have mobile broadband. 5G will enable new solutions to enhance bandwidth and to access more and more live services and paths to the internet and between different kinds of equipment.
Network operations: These need to be secured, as they have to coordinate all the links to vertical applications and segments.
For each of these segments we need to understand the requirements of the different use cases and then provide different solutions in terms of security, size and protection. We have to consider what exactly is needed in terms of service security and how we can protect network access. We have to be able to protect the authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of data. Security is not something added on top – it needs to be embedded in products and services to build user trust and widespread deployment in the market."
The SIMalliance whitepaper aims to create awareness of the need to integrate security in 5G developments and provides initial examples of different security solutions. Next the SIMalliance security experts will analyze the technical details and maintain a global and interoperable approach by cooperating closely with standardization bodies such as 3GPP and ETSI.
Within Morpho, our teams are actively contributing to standardization activities, and ensuring that our solutions are ready for 5G commercial deployment. Embedded Secure Elements come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and Morpho's SIM, eSIM and eSE technologies as well as MorphoFlex™, our remote SIM provisioning solution, are all designed to meet the security integrity which 5G demands.

Part One, Mailbag: About Nuclear War In 1985 And Fatima
July 18, 2017 by sd
[Whether the Consecration of Russia as requested at Fatima was properly and finally done is a controversy, often quite vitriolic, that won't go away. We respect and will be presenting both sides of the debate, which has been rekindled due to the release of certain YouTube videos of Sister Lucia dos Santos with an interpreter/cottage historian named Carlos Evaristo of Fatima (himself a bit controversial), and visiting prelates. In this installment, we hear from those who accept that the Consecration was indeed done — according to what appears to be the testimony of the seer herself. You discern. It remains an interesting matter. This is the first part, saying the matter is finished. The second part, tomorrow will claim that it was not.]
From Wanda Skowronska [a psychologist/writer/ pro-lifer living in Sydney, Australia]:
"Dear friends, here [below] is a longer version of the film I sent you previously — this one much longer and very interesting.
"It has much more detail and accounts of the meetings with Sister Lucia and the attempt to discredit Carlos Evaristo by Father Nicholas Gruner [a now deceased Canadian priest who argued the Consecration had not been conducted, nor the entire Third Secret released].
"The words of Sister Lucia give an outline of the events of Fatima
The consecration of Russia was meant to have been done in 1929. That's when mentioning it would have been relevant.
"After 1929 Russia became the Soviet Union.
Just as the King of France did not consecrate France to the Sacred Heart as requested by Jesus through St Margaret Mary, so this consecration was not done by Pope Pius XI and so a new terrible war broke out. The attempted consecration by Pope Pius XII was too late to prevent war and the spread of errors.
"It did not have the union of bishops hence was incomplete.
As Russia spread her errors around the world, the world [now] needed consecrating.
Lucia says Our Lady did say that the March 25, 1984, consecration WAS the consecration requested by Our Lady though it came late.
"Though all bishops did not participate, [this] did not take away from its validity. (Most did participate). There is NO need for any further consecration.
"It was of such importance, that it prevented an atomic war in 1985. This was about 100 years since the vision of Pope Leo XIII in 1883 [that a century had been given to Satan].
Lucia says that the conversion of Russia did not mean the conversion to Catholicism — but the change from a godless regime. [Just last week, Orthodox priests publicly blessed a Soviet space vehicle.]
Lucia did not insist on the secret being revealed by 1960, but thought this might be a far away date herself for it to be revealed.
Lucia says the triumph of the Immaculate Heart started on the day Pope JPII was shot — because he survived an attack he was supposed to be killed in.
"There is much more. Carlos says the conspiracy theories which circulate saying the secret was not revealed and the Consecration was not done only confuse the faithful. Lucia was the one to tell us of the messages. It is surely of importance to heed her words of how the promises and events have unfurled."
From viewer Ted Quigley:
Some points to consider regarding the consecration preventing nuclear war.
Huge explosion in Severomorsk in Northern Soviet Union on May 17th, 1984 [after Consecration by Saint John Pail II] took out part of their nuclear triad, setting them back for at least months. Pictures of the explosion are on the internet and the explosion was also reported in the NY Times. A fire started on May 13th that got out of control which led to the explosion.
http://www.nytimes.com/1984/07/11/world/soviet-naval-blast-called-crippling.html
http://redbannernorthernfleet.blogspot.com/2008/05/soviet-naval-disaster-of-day.html
According to interviews of former Soviet officials in Newsweek and on PBS after the fall of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union was going to hit us with a nuclear strike because they thought Reagan was planning a nuclear strike on them.
Sr. Lucia, the sole surviving visionary from Fatima, in an interview with a bishop present in 1993, said that a nuclear war was scheduled between the Soviet Union and the U.S. for 1985 which is why the Pope was shot on May 13, 1981, to get his attention. The 1984 consecration averted this war.
In early 1985, Soviet leader Chernenko dies. Gorbachev comes to power and the whole Soviet Union starts to unravel…
We report. You decide.

Q: ASP.NET MVC 5 + Owin + Facebook + Amazon ELB + Amazon CloudFront I am trying to use Owin to authenticate user with Facebook. Eveything is fine, but when I deploy the application on the Amazon EC2 with ELB, behind a CloudFront, the redirect url on Facebook callback is the ELB url, not the CloudFront url.
For Example:
1) I access the site by the CloudFront url and click in Logon: htp://MyCloudFrontDomain/Logon
2) I click on the Facebook logon button and I am redirect to https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?response_type=code&client_id=123&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2FapplicationLoadBalancer...
I am using the folowing code: https://github.com/Code-Inside/Samples/blob/master/2013/OwinKatanaAndOneAspNet/Auth/Controllers/AccountController.cs (see ChallengeResult class)
Anyone have an idea that why the Owin generate the ELB url and not the one that I first access the site (CloudFront url)?

This Gluten-Free Simnel Cake is a traditional Easter fruit cake decorated with marzipan balls to represent the apostles. This deliciously modern version has been lightened up and baked in a beautiful bundt tin.
This Gluten-Free Simnel Cake is a classic recipe from the blog. The recipe has been updated with gluten-free ingredients. There are new photos and the method and post content have been updated for clarity.
Simnel Cake is a light fruit cake, synonymous with Easter. Crammed with marzipan, dried fruit and spices. Simnel Cakes have been baked since medieval times to celebrate the end of Lent fasting. Although Wikipedia says that they were originally baked during Lent to break up the fasting.
It's also interesting that they were adopted for a time by Mothering Sunday as they were a constant presence in our house during Easter due to my Mum's love of them. My Auntie Lil would dutifully make her one every year. It would reside comfortably in our larder, pecked at over a couple of weeks. Traditional Simnel Cakes can keep for a while but this lighter version has a shorter shelf life.
What does a Simnel Cake represent?
Simnel Cakes are instantly recognisable due to the eleven balls of marzipan perched symbolically around the edge of the cake like a confectionary crown. These marzipan balls represent the eleven aspostles, Judas is NFI for obvious reasons.
Growing up I was not a fan of Mum's Simnel Cake. Auntie Lil would innocently decorate and colour the marzipan balls to bear a striking resemblance to Cadbury Mini Eggs. It left me terribly scarred which led me to eschew all Simnel Cakes until adulthood. When you are expecting chocolate and are met with marzipan the experience can leave a child feeling more than a little cheated.
Why is Simnel Cake called Simnel?
Well, now this is ironic. The Simnel Cake is called as such because the latin name for white flour is 'simila' and that is what was traditionally used to bake the cake. Not this cake my friend. We have used alternative gluten-free flours, only a couple of which are white.
It must be said that my version of a Simnel Cake has been modernised a little. The intention, taste and celebratory feel is still present but this version is lighter. It also feels more celebratory baked in the beautiful bundt tin.
You often find Simnel Cakes to have a thick layer of marzipan in the centre of the cake as well as draped over the top. Instead we are following Delia's example and dicing up our marzipan to be dispersed throughout the cake which isn't so heavy hitting.
Baker's Tip: Try using Homemade Marzipan. The switch from ready-made will transform your Simnel Cake immeasurably. The Homemade Marzipan almost melts into the centre of the cake which is utterly delicious. Plus I guarantee those marzipan balls will be fought over instead of instantly discarded.
Instead of the blanket of marzipan on the surface of the cake we are using a simple lemon icing, spiked with a little almond extract as a nod to the original.
We are adding buttermilk to our cake batter here which makes for an amazingly moist, light and tangy fruitcake. A lovely contrast with the jewelled fruits.
Baker's Tip: If you don't have buttermilk then you can use 350ml whole milk + 1½ tbsp. lemon juice. Whisk together then let sit for five minutes before adding to your cake batter.
Sweet Rice Flour for its light neutral taste, we don't want it to interfere with everything that's going on. Plus it gives the cake bounce and binding power.
Gluten-Free Oat Flour for its tender crumb and lightness. Swap with sorghum flour if you can't digest oats.
Potato Flour for its hydroscopic tendencies. It helps absorb excess moisture and gives lightness.
Bundt Tin. This Simnel Cake is baked in a bundt tin for a further celebratory feel. The marzipan balls then sit happily atop like an Easter garland.
I urge you wherever possible to try making homemade versions of these add-ins. There are recipes for the Homemade Marzipan, Homemade Glacé Cherries and Homemade Mixed Peel on this site. I guarantee you will notice the difference.
Ideally the add-ins should be evenly dispersed throughout the cake. Stir them in a little oat flour to coat before adding them into the batter and it should stop them from sinking.
How do you make Gluten-Free Simnel Cake?
Cream the butter with the sugars and citrus zest until light and fluffy.
Eggs. Add them in one at a time.
Flours. Whisk the dry ingredients with the flour.
Buttermilk. Add the flour alternately with the buttermilk.
Add-ins. Finally stir in all the add-ins.
Bake for 75 minutes in a moderate oven.
Ice with a simple icing sugar + lemon icing.
Decorate with the marzipan balls.
How long does Gluten-Free Simnel Cake last for?
This Gluten-Free Simnel Cake won't be as long lasting as a traditional Simnel Cake but it can certainly be kept for up to a week. Store in an airtight tin in a cool dark place. However, if you are using Homemade Marzipan balls then they should be eaten within three days due to the raw egg in the dough.
If you make this Gluten-Free Simnel Cake then please leave a comment below and/or give the recipe a rating. If you then go on to use this recipe as a launch pad for your own baking creation then I'd also love it if you'd share it and tag me on Instagram. It is so lovely for me to see your versions and variations of my recipes.
Gluten-Free Simnel Cake is a traditional Easter fruit cake. This deliciously modern version has been lightened up and baked in a beautiful bundt tin.
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/160°C /gas 4 and grease your bundt tin with spray oil.
Beat the sugars together with the orange and lemon zest until fragrant.
Add the butter, a cube at a time so it creams with the sugar. Continue to beat until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides every so often.
Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Sift the flours in a separate mixing bowl with the almonds, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, mixed spice, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
Add the flour mixture into the rest of the batter, alternately with the buttermilk, one third at a time until just combined.
Mix the marzipan, glace cherries, sultanas, currants and mixed peel together in a separate bowl then mix in the extra oat flour to coat. Stir the add-ins into the cake batter until evenly dispersed.
Pour the cake batter into the bundt tin and bake for about 75 minutes or until an inserted cocktail stick is removed clean. Check the cake at 30 minutes and cover loosely with foil if the cake is browning too much.
Remove from the oven, and leave for 5-10 minutes to rest in the tin before carefully turning out to finish cooling on a wire rack.
Mix the icing sugar with the lemon juice a little at a time until smooth and thick but just pourable.
Spoon the icing over the top of the cake.
Weigh out eleven 25g pieces of marzipan.
Roll each marzipan piece between the palms of your hands into the shape of small eggs.
Place the eleven marzipan eggs around the top of the cake.
Oat Flour. If you can't digest oats then use sorghum flour in its place.
Buttermilk. If you don't have any buttermilk then use 350ml whole milk + 1½ tbsp. lemon juice. Whisk together then let sit for five minutes before adding to your cake batter.
Marzipan. Homemade Marzipan is so quick and easy to make. It will take your cake from delicious to stunning.
Add-ins. Stir 2 tablespoons of oat flour into the add-ins to coat them and help them evenly disperse throughout the cake.
Storage. This Simnel Cake will keep for up to a week in an airtight tin in a cool dark place. However if you are using Homemade Marzipan balls then they should be eaten within three days due to the raw egg in the dough.

Q: BSC or Ethereum transaction history I am thinking of one thing for the transaction history data. Whether there is an API call, maybe RPC call or REST call, that we can query target wallet address transaction history? I am trying for making a wallet, I think if we can show users their transaction history, it is a good feature for the user experience.
For this question, there are maybe some ways:

*

*Call Bcsscan or Ethereumscan API, directly.

*Start your own server, subscribe to all events, and store them to DB and query events in DB.
Any other good ideas for this feature.

A: For method 2) Currently to extract the full address interaction history you need to walk through all blockchain blocks and then all transactions in those using EVM tracing.
For method 1) You can also get some details over Etherscan API, but please note that this is not an open-source product and you need to contact their paid product support to understand what data is available over their API and what are the API limitations.

Suriel's hunger for success shines through on the "Quarantine Tape"
By Jack Bardsley 8 months ago
It's hard to believe when you listen to his polished sound, but Lynn emcee Suriel didn't start putting out music until 2017.
He began his career by turning heads with the release of his debut project "Rise" under the name Wilson. He then changed his name to Suriel and gave us his breakout project "Blank Slate", which earned recognition as one of the seven best Boston hip-hop albums of 2018 by WBUR's Candace McDuffie.
After using 2019 to promote "Blank Slate" while continuing to hone his craft in the studio, Suriel has dropped off the appropriately titled "Quarantine Tape" to hold us over while we continue to social distance. It's a collection of four songs that were released periodically on SoundCloud, and each record has tremendous replay value. As impressive as "Blank Slate" was, the growth over the past two years is apparent on this project.
Much like his past music, hustle and motivation are the driving forces behind the lyrics. Suriel's hunger is felt from the first track, "Want It Bad", where he touches on the sacrifices he's made, the loss of his grandmother, and his endless desire to turn negatives into positives through hard work.
"Chase It" features my favorite beat on the tape. Credit to Katapult on the production. The listener is immediately drawn in with an Andre 3000 sample from OutKast's classic "Da Art Of Storytellin'", and Suriel keeps our attention by flowing perfectly over the captivating instrumental with some honest and self-reflective lyrics:
"When I look into the mirror that's my real opponent"
"Motivation got me missing time with family/ Hundred tracks got me questioning my sanity"
"Do it for myself or should I try and push humanity?"
"Double Back (Freestyle)" presents some more powerfully confident yet humble lyrics lyrics combined with top-notch wordplay. "Fall" contains a bar that perfectly summarizes the EP. "I just made a classic, made the shit look like a layup". Suriel has mastered his art and become comfortable enough with his sound that it's begun to appear effortless.
Be sure to follow Suriel's Soundcloud as well as his Instagram @suriel781 to keep up with new releases. In the meantime enjoy these four new tracks!

101st Airborne, 3rd Infantry Join For Baghdad Attack


There are more jails in the United States than colleges and universities.
That staggering, unsettling fact is why Zachary Norris wants to ensure that young people have better prospects.
As part of Levi Strauss & Co.'s new class of Pioneers in Justice – Pioneers 2020 – Zachary represents the next-generation of Bay Area social justice leaders at the forefront of policy and systems change in the areas of gender, climate change, criminal justice, LGBT rights, racial equity, immigrant rights and gun violence.
Serving as the Executive Director at Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, an organization that advocates for criminal justice reform, Zachary lives up to the legacy of the organization's namesake — Ella Baker was a hero of the civil rights freedom movement. In his role, the Harvard University alum follows in the late pioneer's footsteps by building a movement to end mass incarceration and criminalization by moving funding away from prisons and punishment and toward family-driven solutions that improve public health, safety and prosperity for all communities.
And he's been on a mission ever since.
Now as the Executive Director of Ella Baker, he remains passionate about the well-being of youth in the criminal justice system, but his belief that most people would respond to economic opportunity employment and restorative justice extends to adulthood too.
For me it's incredibly important to reform the prison system, period, not just the youth prison system," he said. At Ella Baker, they believe that all people impacted by the criminal justice system, not just youth would respond positively to alternative methods toward making amends for their wrongs instead of the current system. "We have a lock 'em up policy that has devastated individuals and communities and made us actually less safe," he explained.
That's why he and his team are steadfast in creating reform programs that will uplift low-income families and those who have been previously incarcerated. In Alameda County, they were able to redirect $10-17 million away from failed incarceration policies to employment and other opportunities for those coming out of jail. They're also working on the implementation of Proposition 47, which is an initiative passed by California voters to change felony sentencing and ultimately move resources away from prisons to education.
Now with more resources, one of the organization's biggest undertakings is working with Restaurants Opportunities Centers United (ROC) to launch Restore Oakland, a center that will house a restaurant run by low-income families and formerly incarcerated people and their families. In addition, it would house restorative justice programming run by community partners, including Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth, Community Works West, and Urban Peace Movement.
With hopes of opening its doors in 2018, Zachary is excited to see their plans come to fruition. "It would be a tangible demonstration of our vision for community safety and forefront restorative justice," he said.
Despite the challenges before him, he's optimistic – not only for his upcoming projects, but for reforming the criminal justice system as a whole.
And he's determined to help make that happen.

Ted Cruz and guns
Ted Cruz is in the unique position of being a Senator who'll most likely never run for POTUS since he was born in Canada. His professional background is second to no one's (particularly the current POTUS's),
Before being elected, Ted received national acclaim as the Solicitor General of Texas, the State's chief lawyer before the U.S. Supreme Court. Serving under Attorney General Greg Abbott, Ted was the nation's youngest Solicitor General, the longest serving Solicitor General in Texas, and the first Hispanic Solicitor General of Texas.
In private practice in Houston, Ted spent five years as a partner at one of the nation's largest law firms, where he led the firm's U.S. Supreme Court and national Appellate Litigation practice.
Ted has authored more than 80 U.S. Supreme Court briefs and argued 43 oral arguments, including nine before the U.S. Supreme Court. During Ted's service as Solicitor General, Texas achieved an unprecedented series of landmark national victories, including successfully defending:
U.S. sovereignty against the UN and the World Court in Medellin v. Texas;
The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms;
The constitutionality of the Texas Ten Commandments monument;
The constitutionality of the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance;
The constitutionality of the Texas Sexually Violent Predator Civil Commitment law; and
The Texas congressional redistricting plan.
The National Law Journal has called Ted "a key voice" to whom "the [U.S. Supreme Court] Justices listen." Ted has been named by American Lawyer magazine as one of the 50 Best Litigators under 45 in America, by the National Law Journal as one of the 50 Most Influential Minority Lawyers in America, and by Texas Lawyer as one of the 25 Greatest Texas Lawyers of the Past Quarter Century.
From 2004-09, he taught U.S. Supreme Court Litigation as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Texas School of Law.
Prior to becoming Solicitor General, he served as the Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission, as Associate Deputy Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice, and as Domestic Policy Advisor on the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign.
Ted graduated with honors from Princeton University and with high honors from Harvard Law School. He served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist on the U.S. Supreme Court. He was the first Hispanic ever to clerk for the Chief Justice of the United States.
Cruz has jumped into the fray:
So far he is the only senator who has dared challenge the many blatant falsehoods President Obama and many congressional Democrats have been pushing regarding guns, in particular the bogus claim that 40 percent of gun sales are done without background checks.
To add to the Dems' outrage, Cruz is demanding that Chuck Hagel disclose the source of funds Hagel receive for speeches (particularly $200,000),
Lanny Davis is among the few democrats who agree that Hagel should make full disclosure.
Behold, the birth of Ted Cruz Derangement syndrome: IS SENATOR TED CRUZ OUR NEW MCCARTHY?
A guy who was at Harvard Law at the same time as TC had this to say,
@ryanlizza I was there then. Cruz is basically correct: there were more Marxists than Republicans. Mayer should have talked to more people.

This is only the beginning, folks.
Give 'em hell, Ted!

Hagel on Cuba: Feel the love
Jennifer Rubin posts on Hagel's Cuba problem
Much of the focus on Chuck Hagel's record has been on his views on Israel, Iran and sequestration. Equally troubling to those who have taken a forceful stand against Castro's dictatorship in Cuba, however, has been his dismissive attitude toward the Castros and his enthusiasm to end the U.S. embargo with no quid pro quo.
The Castro regime, of course, has grown increasingly close to the Iranian regime and has allied itself with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez. In seizing and imprisoning an American, Alan Gross, it has advocated a swap with the so-called Cuban five spies (a position strenuously opposed by the U.S. Senate).
Val Prieto posits his low hanging fruit theory,
The Obama presidency will need a legacy and given their leadership ineptitude, they'll most likely go for the low hanging fruit: Barrack [sic] Obama, the President who single-handedly lifted the archaic, inhumane, and ridiculous US embargo on Cuba.
Regardless of whether the Cuban regime shows any human rights and political and economic openings as well as cooperation on anti-terrorism and drug interdiction
Cuba in 2012 and now? Zero reforms and growing religious repression

When I truly love a book, I always own a double copy. That's the case of Edges by Harry Gruyaert.
Great photos are often photos of movement. Think about the great Alex Webb. His photos are tales of movement. But Gruyaert is different. His photos are motionless. Nothing happens. But this stillness is breathtaking. Here is a selection of the some photos of the book.

Current liabilities generally consist of amounts due the bank and the wholesale trade for goods purchased. If due to any other creditors the circumstances should be explained. As already stated, amounts due to the bank should be cleaned up at least once each year either by cash or trade paper discounted.
The observance of a borrower's daily transactions and a critical scrutiny of his liability account from time to time, and one year with another, should reveal whether he is progressing or otherwise.
A comparison of the indirect and other liability of the customer on the books of the bank with the amounts shown in his statement will sometimes disclose an omission in the latter. In one instance, a branch held for collection from other banks more than double the amount of the bills given in a statement. Needless to say the account was not entertained.
Where amounts are due to other than trade creditors, such as members of the firm, relatives and employes, it is a disturbing feature, as such loans are liable to be given first consideration in case of trouble.
Should the account be at all weak in other respects, postponements of claim to the bank should be obtained from such creditors.


Sol Bamba said the Cardiff City squad are struggling following the disappearance of club-record signing Emiliano Sala.
Cardiff City defender Sol Bamba revealed some of his team-mates became fearful of flying after new signing Emiliano Sala went missing while on board a plane.
The whereabouts of club-record recruit Sala remains unknown following the disappearance of a Piper Malibu aircraft en route to Cardiff from Nantes on January 21.
Sala was travelling to the Welsh capital having farewelled his Nantes team-mates before the plane vanished without a trace, with Guernsey Police ending the search on Thursday.
The Argentine striker was honoured before Arsenal's 2-1 Premier League win over Cardiff on Tuesday following the distribution of daffodils with the match programme at the Emirates Stadium.
Reflecting on the heartbreaking situation, Bamba told BBC Sport Wales: "It is very difficult to even describe how the players are feeling.
"It is a very unusual situation, a big tragedy. We have all been affected by it, the lads, the city, the whole club.
"It was that deep, the gaffer has been good and the club have been good in terms of bringing someone in to talk to if we need to.
