Damage Done By Worms – Psycurity Inc. 2015
Damage Done By Worms are back, but it's not like they really went away.Since forming way back in 1989 these Berlin kats have released 3 albums,an ep and appeared on many compilations. The last album released was the pretty stout "Tonight" released back in 1999.Over the years the band has continued to appear at many festivals as well as other smaller gigs,most of which have been in Europe.As a result the outfit usually gets overlooked and kinda has stayed under the wire here in North America.Make no mistake here ,this is a serious killer and unique band. If you don't believe me just check out any of their releases.That said the long awaited 4th album "Psycurity Inc." came out earlier this year and it's one damn impressive effort.This puppy kicks the door in with 15 original tracks of psychobilly that meld old school psychobilly,neo rockabilly, surf,and rock n roll with a bit of punk attitude into a refreshing stew. We even get some harp action tossed in for an add attraction,what's not to like.Highlights include: " Showgirls", "Bullshit", "Psycurity Inc.","Horror" and "Your Way".
They say good things come to those who wait ,well in the case of " Psycurity Inc." that's true.This is a smart ,diverse and killer album that is simply top shelf. Damage Done By Worms have made a big statement here and hopefully we don't have to wait a long time for their next album.Highly Recommended!!

Gutter Demons - Unfinished Business 2015
The Gutter Demons take a back seat to no one.After-all from 2001 to 2008 these kats were the Kings of Canadian Psychobilly as well as one of the better psychobilly bands on the planet. Hell you can hear their influence on dozens of young bands from around the planet.It was big news when they broke up and even bigger news when it was announced back in 2014 that they were returning.As with most comebacks ,people wanted to know about an album.Well the comeback album is now here and "Unfinished Business" is one killer effort.Crashing in hard with10 originals and 1 cover of psychobilly madness.This hard,mean,fast and dark but then again that's just what you would expect. It's like they never left.Highlights include: "Invaders", " Gutter Kings" "Blood Feast" and "Hellride"
If anything the Gutter Demons are on top of their game here with "Unfinished Business". They sound damn hungry and ready to fight.But be aware this is a knock out punch. Highly Recommended!!

Six Gun Romeo - The Filth 2015
With two stellar albums under their belt Six Gun Romeo are a band that always delivers the goods.This is one fun and damn good outfit that you can't help but like.Their brand of rockabilly/rock n roll is not only infectious but it's also instantly recognizable. The band's 3rd album " The Filth" has now dropped and it's another winner by these kats. Clocking in with 13 pretty kool original tracks that will light a fire under your ass.This time out we get the usual rockabilly/rock n roll and also a little more blues thrown into the mix.There is also more harp action to help round out the action Highlights include: "My Baby,Baby", "2 Shot's Whiskey","Who'dat Knockin' ", "Polka-Dot Dress" and "Quarter Mile".
Six Gun Romeo are a band that you should be aware of and "The Filth" is their best album to date.This is a blast of fresh air, that's a fun ride.Hell even your kids will think your kool when they hear you playing it.Highly Recommended ! https://www.facebook.com/sixgunromeo/timeline http://sixgunromeo.com/

The Surfaders - A Greater Silence 2015
Back in 2012 The Surfaders released the mighty fine " Dragstrip Murder Mystery"and it caught more than a few surf fans off guard.The band found itself firmly planted on the surf map and quickly became one of the surf bands to watch.Their blend of traditional ,spaghetti,surf noir with a smearing of punk was and is refreshing and kinda kool. Now in 2015 there back ,better and still have a few surprises too boot. The band's sophomore effort "A Greater Silence" ups the game and changes direction.This puppy washes ashore with 12 original tunes that cover the usual ground of surf but this time out the band heads more into spaghetti western territory.Not only that we get vocals and not just on a couple of tracks but 5.The Vocals will throw most but don't let that fool you this is still really good surf. Highlights include: " Sarpha", "Little Johnny from Hangman's Tree", "Dust from the Sun" and the killer " Sharkbait"
The Surfaders aren't a band that's afraid to change it up and push the boundaries .With "A Greater Silence" they prove that. This is a damn good album that manages to surprise, challenge you and leaves you wondering where The Surfaders go next. Recommended!!

King Moroi - Hardly Better Than Nothing 2015
Formed in 2012 German psychos King Moroi have managed to create some buzz.Their brand of rockin' and at times punkafied psychobilly has gained the band a solid following and strong word of mouth.Hell I was told over a year ago to watch out for these kats.That said the band's debut album "Hardly Better Than Nothing" is now out and it's one freakin' rockin' effort than aims to please.Clocking in with 11 originals and 2 covers of kool and at times hard hitting psychobilly. You could say this modern psychobilly that has the right amount of punk and rockabilly.These kats push the metal to the floor but they also know it doesn't hurt to slow it up a tad . As a result this puppy more than backs up it's bark.Highlights include: "Switchside",
" Crying Dying Man", "Spy Tank" and "Staying Bad".
King Moroi definitely live up to the buzz about them and "Hardly Better Than Nothing" is one of the better debuts this year.This is a really strong, well balanced and rockin' album you should check out.Recommended.

Twin . Fin - Whiskey Wine & Venom Love 2015
These days it's gotta be a tough row for swingabilly bands.There aren't many doing it and the venues for them to play at are far and few.In the barren waste lands of South Western Ontario hail the outfit known as Twin . Fin. Over the past few years they have changed members,their name and have evolved from a straight up rockabilly band to a pretty kool swingabilly band. During that time they developed a following, gained some strong radio airplay and released a strong single "Rocco Perri". That song has gotten the band some major attention. The next step for these kats was to put out an album.Instead of rushing out something they would regret the band took the time and effort to do it right as they say.The result is "Whiskey Wine & Venom Love" a strong,smooth and damn good debut.We get 10 originals of swingabilly that have the right mix of blues ,jazz and rockabilly. The songs range from sultry slow burners to all out out boppers and as a result the album has a kool vibe and a good flow.Highlights include: "Devil Girl Stomp", "City Of City", "Whiskey Wine & Venom Love" and " Won't Let You Go"
This is a strong debut by a band that has good songs and can execute them very well.If your into swingabilly this puppy is for you and even if your not " Whiskey Wine & Venom Love" is worth checking out. Recommended. https://www.facebook.com/TwinFin-494503570709347/timeline check out a couple tunes here http://allstage.ca/project/twin-fin-whisky-wine-and-venom-love/

Washington Dead Cats - Under The Creole Moon 2015
After 31 years and 10 albums the Washington Dead Cats aren't content to sit on their laurels.Considered by many to be one of the "wild punkabilly bands" around and to others a unique psychobilly outfit.But make no mistake this is one killer rock n roll band that has consistently delivered the goods. That said the band's 11th album " Under The Creole Moon" is now out and this is one mighty fine outing.Smashing in with 14 tracks that throw out genre lines,mix it up and ends up just been fun and kool.There is something for everyone here,from punkabilly,country,blues to rockabiily and straight up rock.Hell the band's horn section has never sounded better .Highlights include: "Give Me Back My Broken Heart", " Look Into My Eyes", "Only Vinyl Is Cool" , and "Under The Creole Moon"
This is one on those albums that gets under your skin in a good way.If anything " Under The Creole Moon" is at times hard hitting ,always fun and very addictive.Let's just say it's a winner .Highly Recommended.

CRAZY CAVAN 'N' THE RHYTHM ROCKERS - THE REAL DEAL 2015
A lot of groups are called legendary but few really are and Crazy Cavan 'n' the Rhythm Rockers are one of the few truly legendary outfits out there.The undisputed kings of Teddy boy rock have been at it since 1970 and are still doing it .With a rap sheet longer than your arm these kats are essential listening if your a rock n roller.Hell it's impossible not to enjoy their blend of rock n roll/rockabilly.That said the boys are back with one hotly anticipated album, "THE REAL DEAL". Once again they don't disappoint and the title says it all,this is just damn good rock n roll. We get a mix of 13covers and 3 originals that bop, rock and stroll and that's just what you expect.Highlights include: "Little Misguided", "Drapes 'n' Drainpipes", "Rattlesnake Daddy", "Zing Zing" and "My Baby's Been Cheating Again".

The 427's - Mavericks 2015
Back in early 2014 Calgary's The 427's released "Surf Noir", a very strong ep and campus radio stations across Canada picked right up on it.Hell that 5 song ep has charted across the country and is still getting a ton of airplay a year later.Believe me that's no small feat especially for a surf band.The band also managed to gain some attention south of the border in America as well. Seizing on the so called moment the band has just released it's debut album "Mavericks" and this puppy nails it.We get 11 (1 hidden) original tracks of basically first wave inspired surf that are smooth ,slick and damn good.Throw in some spaghetti and spy and the result is one very impressive debut.Highlights include: "The Spy Invasion", "Yellowbelly", "Urchin Stomp" and "The Score"
The 427's are still a young outfit since they formed in 2013 and that makes " Mavericks" even more impressive.This is one mature, sexy and kool ride that leaves you feeling fresh.Recommended !!!

The Hell Bent Rockers - S/T 2015
Hailing from the big smoke known as Hamilton ,The Hell Bent Rockers have made a name for themselves with some smooth and kool rockabilly that gets you off your ass. With the release of a pretty strong demo a couple of years ago they became a band to watch out for. Hell that demo got some major attention.Now in 2015 the band's debut album shows that these kats are more than able to deliver the goods.This self-titled album marches in with 11 original tracks that don't stray off the rockabilly/ rock n roll axis. There is some damn good rockin' going on here and also a whack of some mean and kool sax playing throwin into the mix.If that wasn't enough, we get some harp action and as a result this puppy has a neat and pleasing vibe. Highlights include: "Hot Rod" , " What's Your Poison", " Mean Eileen" and "Let It Out"
The Hell Bent Rockers are making some noise here and it's all good. Overall this is one strong and fresh debut album that is well worth laying down a few bucks on.Recommended

The Saucer-men - Fangs 2015
Over the course of 15 years the Australian outfit, The Saucer-men have managed gain a strong following,some international attention and have put together a small but impressive discography of 1 single, 2 eps and 2 albums.These kats may be a neo-rockabilly band but they aren't afraid to mix it up and as a result the band's sound has a kool vibe. If you want proof of that you just have to check out the band's third and newest album " Fangs". This puppy rolls in with 11 tracks (10 originals) that range from straight up rockabilly to country to rock n roll, some spaghetti influenced billy and little splash of ska added on the side .Hell we even get some kool trumpet playing on one track.It really is a well balanced and diverse album.Highlights include: "Voodoo Stomp","Fangs","Ghost Train" and "Gangsters"
The Saucer-men are a band that always impress and "Fangs" is their best effort to date.This is a strong and pretty neat effort that is well worth checking out. Recommended! https://www.facebook.com/The-Saucermen-97748481013/timeline

The Intolerants - 100% of Nothin' 2015
Since forming in 2014 The Intolerants have quickly gotten down to business.Based in Sweden they started out as The Struts put out a catchy single, "Heart Shaped Lips" then changed their name and finally signing on with Western Star. You could best describe these kats as a billy based band that likes to mix it up.Hell they throw in everything from country to psychobilly in the mix and the results are pretty kool. The band's debut album "100% of Nothin' " is proof of that.This puppy comes in 13 originals and a nifty cover of " So Long Baby Goodbye". This is one solid and kool mix of styles/genres that has something for everyone.Ranging from slow burning country to psychobilly/rockabilly to straight up rocknroll. Highlights include: "Crawlin' Back" , " Can't Be Arsed", " Red Dress" and "Number One".
This is a strong debut that is diverse,fresh and satisfying. The Intolerants cover a lot of ground here and they do it well.It kinda leaves you wondering what next they have up their selves. Recommended !

The Brains - Out In The Dark 2015
Over the past few years Canuck psycho's The Brains have emerged as one of the top psychobilly bands out there.This is one serious contender that has managed to release a string of 6 impressive albums that is hard to match.Hell the big questions about every Brains release is just how good it really is and how do these kats keep getting better.Their 7th and latest album "Out In The Dark" is now out and this little monster is nothing short of a real barn burner.We get 11 tracks of kinetic psychobilly with a wack of punk infusion.Yeah it's more of the same but that's what they do and just like in the past they nail it.Highlights include: "Wolfman", "Lifetime", "The Witch" and "Killer".
So just how good is "Out In The Dark",well it may not be as intense as say "Zombie Nation" but it is arguably their best all round album yet and that's not an easy feat.This is a must have album by a band that not only delivers the goods but are still hungry and again seem to get better with every release.Highly recommended!!

Q: How to have external requests from a LAMP server bypass internet censorship? I had another question at the askUbuntu site, and migrated this version from a Server Fault question, as I think that Super User is the best location for asking it.
Background:
I have a local (Drupal) development environment consisting of a LAMP server running on a virtualized Xubuntu 12.04 OS with a host OS of Ubuntu 12.04.  Bridged networking is not enabled.
I would like to begin experimenting with the web 2.0 integration aspects of Drupal (ie. Youtube and Facebook integration) but these websites are all blocked by a massive filtering regime that includes at the very least IP blocking, DNS filtering, URL filtering, and packet filtering--and uses connection-reset packets to enforce these rules.  It appears that some ISPs also use deep packet filtering to discover ssh tunnels which are then bandwidth limited--luckily my ISP in my apartment does not appear to do this presently.  Foreigners are not prohibited from using proxies/vpns/etc. as long as they do not use these to break the law (ie. sharing restricted material with Chinese nationals).
For normal web browsing and other tasks that require accessing blocked content I use an ssh tunnel to a server (Ubuntu Server 10.04, with only ssh and openvpn enabled) in another country as a socks5 proxy.  Chromium and Firefox are both able to natively send DNS requests through the socks5 proxy (the former by default and the latter by changing a config setting).  This solution works perfectly for all browser-side connections to restricted sites.
However, many of the web 2.0 intregation Drupal modules also require that the server itself request the restricted external sites.
My question is:
What would be the best way to route through my ssh tunnel and past the filtering regime either:

*

*All external requests and DNS lookups from my Apache2 server,

or

*

*Only the requests (and DNS lookups) from my Apache2 server to specified hosts?

Considered/Attempted Solutions

*

*The simplest solution would be to use a LAMP server on the machine outside of the filtering regime (the one I ssh to).  I would prefer not to do this however for a number of reasons (no physical access to this machine in case something goes wrong, older hardware, if I losemy connection to this server I cannot continue development, etc.)

*Use global proxy settings - Xubuntu does not have the capability for global socks5 settings according to my research.  Also I don't know if this would catch my DNS lookups.

*use tsocks: this seems to be the best candidate but I have two problems/questions:

*

*Where is the script that starts/restarts Apache2 so I can preface these commands with tsocks?

*How do I catch and redirect the DNS lookups through the socks5 proxy?
Editing the /etc/hosts/ file provides a limited workaround but sites like youtube.com load media and other content from so many external sites (and thus URLs) that keeping track of all these (potentially connection resetting) third party URLs is nearly impossible. Using socat to capture, convert and send UDP traffic through the socks5 proxy (as described here) seems like a good solution but I have been unable to implement it as described in the linked tutorial. (If using socat is confirmed to be the proper way to solve my problem I can post the commands I am using for review)

A: Apache isn't really making the outbound connections; PHP is. So it's PHP that needs to talk to the SOCKS proxy.
Relevant: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10490962/establishing-socket-connection-in-php-using-socks-proxy
It would be easier if you had an HTTP proxy, and easiest with a VPN. Perhaps you should give setting up OpenVPN another go?
Alternately, you can set up Privoxy on your server to talk to your SOCKS proxy, and then configure PHP to use Privoxy as an HTTP proxy.

A visitors guide to the conservation village of Castle Acre in West Norfolk. The impressive ruins at Castle Acre can be clearly seen from the A1065. The village is set in a very rural landscape, a splendid and picturesque sight and reminiscent of a fortified French hill top town, that has emerged from the mists of time.
In 1971, Castle Acre was designated Norfolk's first Conservation Village. Despite its small size Castle Acre boasts a large Norman castle and earthworks, a fine bailey gate and extensive ruins of a Cluniac Priory.
The main entrance into this attractive little village is through a 13th century flint gateway, which would have also been the way the pilgrims used to enter hundreds of years ago. These pilgrims would have been on a pilgrimage to the shrine at Little Walsingham, which can be found in North East part of Norfolk.
The castle, now only ruins, are still impressive and have wide ranging views of the valley and the River Nar. In days past the River Nar was navigable all the way up to the Wash from Castle Acre.
The tree shaded village green planted with large lime trees is called Stocks Green and was probably used to house the 'towns stocks'. Running around its perimeter are small flint and cobble cottages as well as a handful of interesting shops. The village boast two inns The Ostrich and Albert Victor Inns and tearooms/restaurant as well as a local store.
As you walk around note some of the street names such as Chimney Street and Cuckstool Street. In the 1830s and 1840s the village became the home of many displaced persons and by 1843 Castle Acre was known as an unruly place and even Parliament expressed concerns about the people "squatting within its walls".
The Church of St.James is situated on the west side of the village in large spacious grounds. Further along are the extensive remains of the Cluniac Priory which was founded by the Earl of Surrey in about 1090, and are now in the care of English Heritage. Castle Acre is just five miles from the Market Town of Swaffham with its Saturday market and good range of shops.
Just down the lane close to West Acre is a specialist plant nursery with display gardens set in an unusual o-shaped walled garden. The gardens are full of interesting and unusual plants from around the world, many rarely seen, with colour all year round. As well as the usual herbaceous/shrubs beds, there are grasses, bamboos and shade area plants. Seats are situated around the gardens, so you can relax and enjoy your surroundings, whilst deciding what to buy.
The Peddars Way is an ancient 47 mile long distance path. Which starts near Thetford and continues to the coast at Holme, it passes through the very centre of this village. It is said that it used to be used by the Romans as a military road.
It is said that the Cluniacs used to charge pilgrims to view holy relics and that the arm of St. Philip brought in 10 shillings a year.

Lorain County JVS requesting permanent levy
By Bruce Walton | The Chronicle-Telegram
Published on Aug. 9, 2018 | Updated 8:49 a. m.
ELYRIA — Lorain County Joint Vocational School Board member Ayers Ratliff stands alone as the single member opposing the district's proposed 0.75-mill permanent improvement levy to be on the November ballot.
The levy would help improve the school's infrastructure.
Superintendent Glenn Faircloth said the improvements are needed. The levy would generate about $4.5 million annually, which would cost a homeowner of a $100,000 house about $26 per year.
The money would be used to upgrade the fire alarm system and curriculum labs, repair the bus garages, add nine zones for the sprinkler system, improve the parking lots and driveways and upgrade the electrical system.
Ratliff said the district is seeking too much money. After the vote, he compiled numbers from the Lorain County Auditor and school districts in the county in regards to permanent improvement levies on the books. All total, he found the districts collect about $8 million — for all of the districts, he said.
Permanent improvement levies cannot be spent on operations or salaries. The money must be used for repairs and purchases of items that will last longer than five years, such as buses and building upgrades.
Ratliff said initially the board was considering a levy with millage of about 0.15, an amount he would have put to the voters for them to consider. But when it came time for a vote, the millage had jumped, he said.
"It's not needs, it's wants and greed, that's what it is, that's how I describe it," Ratliff said.
Faircloth said comparing the JVS levy to other districts' is "not comparing apples to apples," as those rates vary in communities based on property values and the size of the community.
The school hasn't approved any additional revenue from residents through a levy like this since 1985. The board approved seeking the 0.75-mill levy May 17.
Faircloth said he hoped voters seriously consider the levy, but he cannot say with certainty it will pass.
"We don't know, we hope that they support us, they have supported us in the past, we have given them great results, we're their LCJV district and we belong to the citizens of this county," he said.
Ratliff and the board and Ratliff and Faircloth have a history of not seeing eye-to-eye.
Ratliff was the only dissenting vote July 20 when the board approved a new contract for Faircloth that included an annual salary raise to $130,000 per year and eligibility for pay raises every year. The five-year contract also gives Faircloth an additional $3,000 per year to cover the cost of educational courses plus $500 for textbooks, supplies and fees. The contract stipulates that if Faircloth doesn't spend the money on educational coursework, it goes into an annuity.
Ratliff took issue with the contract at a Wellington school board meeting, during which he released contractual details before the JVS board had voted on it. Faircloth then told The Chronicle-Telegram the contract shouldn't have been released because it had only been seen in executive session and it was not a public document until it is voted on.

L'epilessia fotosensibile (PSE) è una forma di epilessia in cui le convulsioni sono provocate da stimoli visivi o di movimento particolarmente ripetitivi e regolari.

Segni e sintomi
Le persone con epilessia fotosensibile sperimentano crisi epilettiformi dopo l'esposizione a determinati stimoli visivi. L'esatta natura dello stimolo o degli stimoli che scatena le convulsioni varia da un paziente all'altro, così come la natura e la gravità delle crisi che ne derivano (che vanno da brevi crisi di assenza a crisi tonico-cloniche). Molti pazienti di epilessia fotosensibile provano "un'aura" o sentono strane sensazioni prima che si verifichi la crisi, sintomi che possono servire come avvertimento, portandolo a distogliere lo sguardo e/o allontanarsi dalla fonte epilettogena.

L'elemento scatenante visivo per un attacco ha generalmente natura ciclica, formando uno schema regolare nel tempo o nello spazio. Luci lampeggianti o immagini che cambiano rapidamente o alternate (come nelle discoteche, nei pressi dei veicoli di emergenza, nei film d'azione o nei programmi televisivi, ecc.) sono gli esempi più comuni di stimoli visivi che possono scatenare convulsioni. Elementi spaziali statici come strisce e quadrati possono innescare attacchi epilettici, anche se non si muovono. In alcuni casi l'elemento visivo deve essere ciclico sia nello spazio che nel tempo, ad esempio un determinato movimento di barre.

Diverse caratteristiche sono comuni negli elementi scatenanti di molti pazienti che soffrono di epilessia fotosensibile. Gli elementi scatenanti sono generalmente caratterizzati da forte contrasto di luminosità (lampi luminosi di luce che si alternano con l'oscurità o elementi con colori chiari su sfondi scuri). Sequenze con contrasti di singoli colori cromatici (senza cambiamenti di luminosità) provocano raramente, in maniera singola, episodi di epilessia fotosensibile. Alcuni pazienti sono più influenzati da lampeggi di determinati colori che da altri colori. L'esatta caratterizzazione di un pattern nel tempo o nello spazio è importante e produce risposta variabile da un individuo all'altro: un paziente può facilmente manifestare crisi quando esposto a luci che lampeggiano sette volte al secondo, ma potrebbe non essere influenzato da luci che lampeggiano due volte al secondo o venti volte al secondo. Gli stimoli che riempiono l'intero campo visivo hanno maggiori probabilità di causare crisi epilettiche rispetto a quelli che appaiono solo in una porzione del campo visivo. Gli stimoli percepiti con entrambi gli occhi sono in genere molto più propensi a causare convulsioni rispetto agli stimoli osservati con un solo occhio (motivo per cui la copertura di un occhio può consentire di ridurre o prevenire la crisi causata da uno stilmolo epilettogeno). Alcuni pazienti sono più sensibili con gli occhi chiusi, altri con gli occhi aperti.

La sensibilità è aumentata da elementi come consumo di alcol, privazione del sonno, malattie e altre forme di stress.

Televisione
La televisione è tradizionalmente la fonte più comune di crisi convulsive per gli affetti da epilessia fotosensibile, in particolare in passato, quando i televisori utilizzavano unicamente la tecnologia a tubo catodico, in cui il continuo ridisegno dell'immagine da parte dei fasci elettronici causa un inevitabile sfarfallio, tanto più rilevante quanto peggiore è la qualità del segnale televisivo. Per le persone con PSE è particolarmente pericoloso vedere la televisione in stanze buie, a distanza ravvicinata o quando il televisore, per qualsiasi motivo, mostra un'immagine che contiene elementi lampeggianti e/o sfarfalla rapidamente. I moderni televisori sono causa di molti meno rischi per chi soffre di PSE in quanto sono realizzati con tecnologie a cristalli liquidi o al plasma, che non presentano il problema dell'aggiornamento dell'immagine e quando il segnale è di cattiva qualità non continuano a mostrare immagini scadenti come gli apparecchi più vecchi ma interrompono totalmente la visione.

Alcune persone con epilessia fotosensibile, in particolare i bambini e coloro che soffrono anche di disabilità cognitiva, possono mostrare un fascino incontrollabile per le immagini televisive che scatenano convulsioni, al punto che potrebbe essere necessario tenerli fisicamente lontani dai televisori.

Numerose emittenti televisive e studi televisivi britannici, al giorno d'oggi, controllano il contenuto dei programmi prima della trasmissione attraverso il test di Harding, uno standard oggettivo di valutazione del potenziale di rischio di scatenare le convulsioni nella popolazione affetta da epilessia fotosensibile.

Illuminazione
Tutte le sorgenti luminose alimentate in corrente alternata, in particolare le lampade a fluorescenza, sono caratterizzate da uno sfarfallio della luce dovuto alla variazione continua della corrente elettrica che le attraversa, che tuttavia ha, in genere, frequenza sufficientemente elevata per non essere percepito dall'occhio umano, evitando il verificarsi di problemi. Una lampada difettosa o non alimentata correttamente, tuttavia, può sfarfallare a velocità molto più basse, costituendo uno stimolo epilettogeno.

Diagnosi
La diagnosi può essere fatta osservando la correlazione tra l'esposizione a specifici stimoli visivi e l'attività convulsiva. Un'indagine più precisa può essere effettuata combinando un EEG con una stimolazione luminosa intermittente (IPS). L'IPS produce tipi specifici di stimoli che possono essere controllati e regolati con precisione. Il medico sperimentatore regola il dispositivo che produce l'IPS e cerca anomalie caratteristiche nell'EEG, come la risposta fotoparossistica (PPR), che sono coerenti con l'epilessia fotosensibile e/o possono preannunciare l'inizio dell'attività convulsiva. Il test viene ovviamente fermato prima che si verifichi effettivamente un attacco.

A volte gli indicatori diagnostici coerenti con l'epilessia fotosensibile possono essere trovati attraverso test con IPS, eppure possono non verificarsi crisi epilettiche in situazioni reali (falsi positivi). Molte persone mostrano anomalie di tipo apparentemente correlato all'epilessia fotosensibile nell'attività cerebrale con una stimolazione sufficientemente aggressiva anche se non hanno mai avuto convulsioni e non sono considerate affette da epilessia fotosensibile.

Trattamento e prognosi
Per l'epilessia fotosensibile non è disponibile nessuna cura, sebbene la sensibilità di alcuni pazienti possa diminuire spontaneamente nel tempo. È disponibile invece un trattamento medico per ridurre la sensibilità, che fa uso del valproato di sodio. È lasciato in larga parte ai pazienti imparare a conoscere il proprio disturbo, cercare di evitare situazioni in cui potrebbero essere esposti a stimoli che scatenano in loro le convulsioni e prendere provvedimenti per diminuire la loro sensibilità (ad esempio chiudere gli occhi o coprirne uno) se l'esposizione è inevitabile. Queste azioni insieme possono ridurre o annullare il rischio di convulsioni per molti pazienti con epilessia fotosensibile. In uno studio del 2006 si dimostra l'efficacia di alcune lenti Zeiss per ridurre l'insorgere di questi problemi.

Epidemiologia
L'epilessia fotosensibile colpisce circa una su 3.000 persone, o il 5% delle persone con epilessia. È più comune nelle donne e nelle persone più giovani.

Società e cultura

Leggi sulla tematica
Una legge che richiede che avvisi sull'epilessia fotosensibile vengano visualizzati su prodotti e/o attività commerciali interessate è stata approvata dallo Stato di New York.

Videogiochi e flipper
Il primo caso di attacchi epilettiformi causati da un videogioco è stato segnalato nel 1981. Da allora, "sono stati segnalati molti casi di convulsioni innescate da videogiochi, non solo in fotosensibili, ma anche in bambini non adolescenti e adolescenti con epilessia... Misure preventive specifiche riguardanti le caratteristiche tecniche delle immagini incluse nei videogiochi disponibili in commercio (velocità del flash, scelta dei colori, motivi e contrasto) può portare in futuro ad una netta diminuzione di questo problema." I rischi possono essere ridotti attraverso misure di sicurezza come mantenere una buona distanza dallo schermo (almeno 2 metri).

Mentre i computer in generale presentano un rischio molto basso di produrre crisi epilettiche nei pazienti con epilessia fotosensibile (molto meno rischi rispetto a quelli presentati dai televisori), i videogiochi con immagini in rapida evoluzione o schemi molto regolari possono produrre attacchi epilettici; i videogiochi hanno avuto maggior risalto come causa scatenante man mano che sono diventati più comuni. Alcune persone senza una precedente storia di epilessia fotosensibile possono soffrire una prima crisi durante l'uso di un videogioco. Spesso la sensibilità è molto specifica, ad esempio le convulsioni potrebbero essere causate solo e soltanto da una scena specifica in un gioco specifico. Nonostante questo, la questione è controversa e ci sono richieste di testare tutti i videogiochi per verificare che non possano causare epilessia fotosensibile.

Design web
Come con i videogiochi, le immagini che cambiano rapidamente o i pattern molto regolari, come banner pubblicitari lampeggianti o caratteri irregolari, possono scatenare crisi epilettiche in persone con epilessia fotosensibile. Esistono due tipi di linee guida per aiutare i web designer a produrre contenuti sicuri per le persone con epilessia fotosensibile:

 Il World Wide Web Consortium - WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) versione 2.0, prodotto nel 2008, specifica che il contenuto non deve lampeggiare più di 3 volte al secondo, frequenza che può essere superata se il lampeggio è al di sotto delle "soglie di lampeggio generali e soglie di lampeggio del colore rosso". Nella pratica, è consentito lampeggiare più di 3 volte in un periodo di 1 secondo se il lampeggio non è particolarmente evidente o se vi è un contrasto abbastanza basso.
 Negli Stati Uniti, i siti Web di competenza delle agenzie federali sono disciplinati dalla sezione 508 del Rehabilitation Act. Secondo la legge, le pagine devono essere progettate in modo da evitare lo sfarfallio dello schermo con una frequenza superiore a 2 Hz e inferiore a 55 Hz.

Casi noti al grande pubblico
L'evento che portò l'epilessia fotosensibile all'attenzione del grande pubblico venne denominato dai media Pokémon shock ed ebbe luogo il 16 dicembre 1997, quando in Giappone venne trasmesso in televisione l'episodio della serie animata Pokémon intitolato "Dennō senshi Porygon" ("Soldato elettrico Porygon"). Esso conteneva una sequenza di immagini di colore rosso e blu che lampeggiavano per circa 6 secondi ad una frequenza di 12 Hz, che provocò crisi epilettiche e disturbi delle percezioni sensoriali in circa 12.000 spettatori, tra i quali vi erano 685 bambini (molti dei quali non affetti, in realtà, da PSE) che dovettero essere trasportati in ospedale. Per evitare che un incidente del genere potesse ripetersi, venne imposta la cancellazione dalla serie dell'episodio incriminato e vennero stabilite nuove linee guida relative agli effetti visivi delle serie animate.

A seguito di tale incidente, si scoprì che ne era già avvenuto un altro simile nel marzo 1997, quando quattro bambini vennero portati in ospedale dopo aver visto una scena con colori lampeggianti rossi e bianchi nel 25 °episodio di una serie di anime intitolata YAT Anshin! Uchū Ryokō.

Nel marzo 2008, il gruppo di hacker di Anonymous è stato accusato di essere coinvolto in un attacco a un forum per i malati di epilessia. Gli hacker di Anonymous a loro volta incolparono la Chiesa di Scientology per l'accaduto, dicendo che era stato pianificato per danneggiare l'immagine di Anonymous. Gli attacchi inizialmente consistevano in immagini GIF lampeggianti ad alta velocità che erano nascoste nei thread di discussione con titoli dal suono innocuo. Gli attacchi successivi hanno reindirizzato i browser Web a una pagina con "un'immagine più complessa progettata per innescare attacchi epilettici sia nei soggetti sensibili alla fotosensibilità che in quelli sensibili al pattern". Il sito web sulla tecnologia Wired lo considera "probabilmente il primo attacco informatico volto a infliggere danni fisici alle vittime".

Un segmento animato di un film che promuoveva le Olimpiadi di Londra 2012 è stato accusato di aver innescato convulsioni in persone con epilessia fotosensibile. L'associazione di supporto Epilepsy Action ha ricevuto telefonate da persone che hanno avuto attacchi dopo aver visto il film in televisione e online. In risposta, il Comitato Olimpico di Londra 2012 ha rimosso il segmento offendente dal suo sito web.

Nel dicembre 2016, il giornalista di Newsweek Kurt Eichenwald, che soffre di epilessia, ha avuto un attacco dopo che un uomo che non condivideva le sue idee politiche gli ha inviato intenzionalmente tramite Twitter una GIF stroboscopica. Tre mesi più tardi, il responsabile venne arrestato con l'accusa di cyberstalking.

Il film Gli Incredibili 2, uscito nel giugno 2018, contiene alcune scene caratterizzate da luci lampeggianti ed effetti stroboscopici (una schermata bianca che lampeggia ad alta frequenza per alcuni secondi) che si trovano a circa un'ora dall'inizio del film, quando l'antagonista di nome Ipnotizzaschermi ipnotizza gli altri personaggi. Il film è stato inizialmente pubblicato senza avvertimenti e diverse persone hanno avuto attacchi nei cinema; in seguito la casa produttrice Disney ha fatto inserire nella pellicola un avviso al riguardo e nel Regno Unito la sequenza incriminata è stata modificata in modo tale da superare il test di Harding.

Game of Thrones' Grey Worm star says backlash to final season was "a shame"
Maybe people will look back on it fondly... one day...
By Joe Anderton
Although it feels like a while ago, it was just last month that all everyone was talking about was the final season of Game of Thrones – and those conversations weren't entirely positive.
By that we mean people got quite angry and upset, to the point that over a million people signed a petition to get HBO to remake the season, which is more than a little ridiculous.
GoT's Lena Headey wanted a better death for Cersei
Grey Worm actor Jacob Anderson (also known as rapper Raleigh Ritchie) has responded to the backlash, and unsurprisingly, he thinks it was a bit much.
"I feel like not everybody is going to love everything," he told PA. "There's no way to make everybody happy.
Sophie Turner auditioned for Thrones as a joke
"It's a shame when people say something is good or bad with complete resolve anyway – it's subjective. Storytelling is subjective. It's fine if people don't like it, some other people did."
He also said that he was happy with the way David Benioff and DB Weiss wrapped up the story, and that he didn't mind that Grey Worm turned into a bit of an arse at the end, because he enjoyed playing somewhat of a villain.
Game of Thrones aired on HBO in the US, and you can also catch up on the show via Hulu. Viewers in the UK can catch up via Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.

Helping the Hungry of Eastern Europe: Mission Without Borders
Ruth Leigh 06 Dec 2021
Recent headlines in UK newspapers warned of the risk of a 'cancelled Christmas' with issues getting turkeys, Christmas jumpers and pigs in blankets to eager consumers in time for 25th December. Frozen poultry, micro-scooters and Barbie Dreamhouses have been flying off the shelves thanks to panicked shoppers stocking up.
The contrast couldn't be more stark with families living on the poverty line in Eastern Europe. Widower Grigore and his four children, live in a half-finished house on a muddy road in Moldova. His wife died giving birth to their fifth child, leaving him the sole breadwinner and parent in the second-poorest country in Europe.
In 2021, the stark truth is that there are many countries in Eastern Europe where children suffer from malnutrition, mothers routinely die in childbirth and families struggle to put food on the table. Which is where Christian charity Mission Without Borders (MWB) comes in.
"We work in six of the poorest countries in Europe," says MWB UK Country Director John Chamberlain. "We evolved from Underground Evangelism, who smuggled Bibles across the Iron Curtain during Communism. By the time the Soviet Union began to fall in 1991, we'd made excellent relationships with churches and communities in the former Soviet Bloc. It was a natural evolution to build on supporting children and families in the terrible and isolating poverty which many suffered then and still do. Sadly, we believe people in this region have been forgotten and their stories are often untold."
MWB work in Albania, Moldova, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria and Bosnia, all with huge issues around poverty and deprivation. They partner with 266 churches in what they call a relationship ministry. "We're not a sending Mission. We employ local mission co-ordinators and volunteers who live in the communities they're supporting. In some cases, they've been working there for over forty years – they're trusted and have a high level of credibility."
Winter in these countries heralds a time of fear, deprivation and crushing poverty. The Malkova children in Eastern Ukraine live in terror of their violent, alcoholic father and try to care for their dying, paralysed mother. A ray of hope in their lives is Pastor Oleg, one of MWB's local co-ordinators, who trudges through the snow with warm clothes and food for them. The Russo-Ukrainian War has been raging since 2014, adding to the struggles of this already deprived country. MWB's annual Action Winter Rescue campaign helps to get essential food, basic supplies including firewood for heating and clothing to communities hard-hit by poverty, conflict and joblessness.
As Christmas approaches, the Malkovas and thousands like them face great hardship. The breadwinners in many poor, marginalised families have seasonal work, with no contracts or safety net. Many are laid off in winter, just as they desperately need money to pay for heating and fuel. With sub-zero temperatures, impassable roads and worrying spikes in Covid infection rates, this Christmas will be far from merry for many Eastern Europeans.
MWB's Christmas campaign, Operation Christmas Love, sends boxes of food staples and Christmas treats to those who desperately need them. This year, they hope to send out around 42,000. Each box, including contents, filling and distribution, costs just £25. Essentials such as pasta, oil, salt and flour are augmented by chocolate Christmas treats and sweets for the children and a booklet telling the Christmas story. The average UK adult spends £476 on Christmas presents1, while 30% of the population spends between £20-£60 per head2 on Christmas dinner. Thousands of our European neighbours are struggling just to survive.
MWB's goal is to reach people for Christ by showing God's love to those in need. Whether that's through running soup kitchens, supporting the elderly, setting up homework clubs to help young people meet their full potential or packing and distributing Operation Christmas Love boxes, they demonstrate the practical love of Jesus through humanitarian aid while spreading the good news of his love to those who most need to hear it.
You can donate here, giving £25 for an Operation Christmas Love box, sponsoring a child or a family or a one-off gift. If you have new clothes, including knitted items, they can be sent to us at 175 Tower Bridge Road, London SE1 2AG."

African Diaspora's Descendants Returned to Evangelize
by Neville Callam | May 5, 2015 | Opinion
On July 22, thousands of Baptists will assemble in Durban, South Africa, for the 21st Baptist World Congress.
When they stand on African soil – some for the first time – they will joyfully recall the efforts made by certain Baptist Christians in the African diaspora who were convinced that part of their Christian obligation was to fulfill, in their ancestral homeland, the mission mandate the Lord has given to the church.
In 1883, English Baptist historian, Ernest Payne, said, "The real evangelization of Africa will be done by men and women of the African race (sic)."
Forty-six years before Payne made that claim, John Clark, a Scot, who was an eminent Baptist missionary serving in Jamaica, said, "Jamaica will be honored in sending forth a band of holy and devoted men to penetrate into the interior of the 'fatherland' and diffuse the blessings of the gospel among their kindred."
Decades before Clark said this, William Knibb, that outstanding English Baptist missionary to Jamaica, claimed that the formerly enslaved Africans in Jamaica were the most qualified people to take the gospel to Africa.
Knibb made this declaration in 1842, when Baptists in Jamaica formed an African Missionary Society, one of whose "objects" was "to send the Gospel to Africa."
It is noteworthy that during the 18th and 19th centuries, Baptists of Jamaica were among the Africans in the diaspora who desired to evangelize people in their motherland and to contribute to the development of the continent.
Other Africans in the diaspora were convinced that they also had a similar responsibility.
David George, who arrived in Sierra Leone in 1792, and Lott Carey, who went to Liberia in 1821, are among the best-known African American Baptist missioners who contributed to early Baptist witness on the continent.
George, like his mentor, George Liele, from whom he adopted his "last" name, had been an enslaved person in the United States.
After coming to faith in a congregation in Georgia, he fulfilled a preaching ministry, sometimes alongside Liele, before he sailed with other formerly enslaved persons to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
After spending 10 eventful years in the Canadian Maritimes where the African United Baptist Association of Nova Scotia is part of his legacy, George and some of his church members sailed to Sierra Leone, where they planted the first Baptist church in that country.
Lott Carey was born to enslaved parents and purchased his freedom while living in Richmond, Virginia. Carey was a pioneer in the establishment of the African Baptist Missionary Society of Richmond in 1815.
In 1821, together with a group of fellow Christians, Carey journeyed to Sierra Leone saying, "I am an African and, in this country – USA – however meritorious my conduct and respectable my character, I cannot receive the credit due to either. I wish to go to a country where I shall be estimated by my merits, not by my complexion, and I feel bound to labor for my suffering race (sic)."
In 1822, Carey moved with some of his fellow African Americans to the colony of Cape Montserado, which was renamed Liberia in 1825.
Thanks to groundbreaking research undertaken by Beryl Russell, Horace Russell, Las Newman and Lloyd Cooke, much is known of the service of missioners from Jamaica who went to Africa to fulfill their ministry.
Bioko (now an island in equatorial Guinea), Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana and the Democratic Republic of the Congo – to use their current names – are among the places in Africa where Africans in the diaspora planted Baptist churches.
The Jamaican Baptists were not alone in their Africa mission commitment. Other Jamaican denominations also sent pastors, educators and medical/nursing personnel to serve on the continent.
The long list of churches and places of service includes Presbyterians in Nigeria; Moravians in Ghana; Anglicans in Nigeria, Zambia and the Gambia; and Congregationalists in Zambia.
The remains of many missioners from these Jamaican churches, whose lives were spent in service to African Christian mission, lie in marked or unmarked graves in Africa.
In more recent times, missioners from organizations formed by evangelical churches have been serving in Ivory Coast, Liberia, Zambia, Nigeria and Ethiopia.
The Jamaica Baptist Missionary Society, Baptist Missionary Union, the American Livingstone Island Mission, the Swiss Basel Mission and the Baptist Missionary Society of London (BMS) are among the bodies that sponsored the missioners from Jamaica to Africa.
How wonderful it is to see many African Christians today planting and serving church congregations in several European countries, including the United Kingdom, Portugal, the Netherlands and Ukraine. And their mission work extends beyond the shores of Europe.
Jacob K. Olupona of Harvard University has claimed that the estimated 1 million Africans who have migrated to the United States over the last 40 years are serving as "reverse missionaries" in their adopted homeland.
Neville George Callam, a Jamaican, has been serving as general secretary and chief executive officer of the Baptist World Alliance since his election in Accra, Ghana, in 2007.

How to disclose cryptocurrency gains while filing income tax return
Photo: Mint
3 min read . Updated: 04 Jan 2021, 05:40 PM IST Abhinav Kaul
First, it's important to know that the gains derived from the sale of cryptocurrencies can be classified as either capital gains or business income. This classification will decide which tax return form one needs to file and how much tax will be levied on the gains.
The extended deadline for filing income tax returns without inviting late penalty is fast approaching on 10 January 2021. As per the provisions of the Income-Tax Act, individuals having income of more than ₹2.5 lakh have to file income tax returns (ITR).
Driven by the bitcoin rally last year and the Supreme Court of India lifting the Reserve Bank of India's ban on cryptocurrencies, many investors in India took to investing in virtual currencies with hopes of making windfall gains. We tell you how earnings from cryptocurrencies should be disclosed in an ITR form.

In view of Section 2(14) of the Income-tax Act 1961, a capital asset means a property of any kind held by a person, whether or not connected with his business or profession. The term 'property', though has no statutory meaning, yet it signifies every possible interest which a person can acquire, hold or enjoy.
"Therefore, bitcoin could be deemed as capital assets if they are purchased for the purpose of investments by taxpayers. Any gain arising on transfer of a cryptocurrencies shall be taxable as capital gains. However, if the transactions are substantial and frequent, it could be held that the taxpayer is trading in cryptocurrencies. In this case, the income from sale of cryptocurrencies would be taxable as business income," said Naveen Wadhwa, deputy general manager, Taxmann, a research and advisory firm.
However, as far as India is concerned, you would not find any business dealing in cryptocurrencies. "You will find brokers and investors, who deal regularly in stocks and commodities, but when it comes to cryptocurrencies, you would never find any broker who is holding a virtual currency as a stock in trade," Wadhwa added.
Therefore, the gains made from investing in bitcoins or virtual currencies are taxable as capital gains, and to calculate capital gains, one needs to first calculate the period of holding. If investors hold cryptocurrencies for 36 months or more, the gains would be taxable as long-term capital gains (LTCG), and less than 36 months, it would be short-term capital gains (STCG).
"Short-term capital gains are taxable as per the slab rates applicable to a taxpayer. And long-term capital gains are taxed at the flat rate of 20% with the benefit of indexation," Wadhwa added.
When it comes to filing ITR, individuals having taxable income more than ₹50 lakh have to mandatorily fill in Schedule AL in ITR forms, which contains information related to investments in mutual funds and securities, including cryptocurrencies.
Moreover, if a company or a partnership firm has made an investment out of their business funds into a cryptocurrency, then it is mandatory for them to show it in their balance sheet as they have to follow the accounting standards.
On taxability of bitcoins earned during the 'mining' process, Wadhwa said, "Bitcoins generated during the 'mining' process are classifiable as self-generated capital assets. Since, the cost of acquisition of such Bitcoins is not available, the taxpayer can take the benefit of judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of B.C. Srinivasa Setty [1981] 5 Taxman 1 (SC). In this case it was held that if cost of acquisition of an asset cannot be ascertained, the machinery provision for computation of capital gains will fail, therefore, no capital gains can be levied on transfer of such assets. Therefore, Bitcoins generated in the 'mining' process may be exempt from tax."
However, such a stand may invite litigations as the revenue department may not accept it as a capital receipt, he added
Keep in mind that for individuals who have capital gains or business income arising out of cryptocurrencies, ITR-2 and ITR-3 are the relevant forms for tax returns.
