Discussion in 'malware problems & news' started by Technodrome, Apr 29, 2002.
Troj/Diablo is a backdoor Trojan horse. If the Trojan server is installed on a computer, it will monitor and log all keyboard keystrokes made by the user.
The keystrokes are logged into a file which can be send via email or FTP to the potential attacker. The attacker can be notified by ICQ, when log files are uploaded onto an FTP server.
EXE, SCR, PIF, COM, CMD and BAT.
When the Trojan server is run, it copies itself into the Windows Startup folder so that it automatically runs every time Windows is started.
if you have a moment please...would appreciate your opinion.
since I check my start-up several times each week...I would have noticed this strange exe prior to this............I can force my machine to ask permission before loading all exe's...if it comes to that.
P>S I honestly don't believe this is a trojan....however,, I have never seen an exe listing before that didn't show a "command"
There is a small utility that you should try it's called StartupMonitor which notifies you when any program registers itself to run at system startup etc.
if this doesn't help you, let me know!!!!
the exe in question is showing as not being associated with any running application....an yet its in start-up...and it was starting at start-up.......very unusual behavior.
my e mail program must ask permission.....an I don't use it period......haven't in over two years....so its doubtful that anything would be sent without my noticing the attempt.........anytime I need to send an e mail I use an online website that provides the service....has its own e mail server.
Thank you TECH.....your time was and is appreciated.
I just dl start-up control panal.....thank you for the url.......will install it.
The "exe" has no name.......thats whats so strange about this......the "command" which is the program that "it is" or "works with" does not exist!
all that shows in start-up is plain "exe"
fortunately whatever this thing is isn't doing anything......unless its in-active because I took it out of start-up an haven't opened the program that would set it off.............so far there has not been even the slightest strange or unusual behavior on my computer.
in alittle while I will install a couple of new programs an see what they reveal.
because I had windows scripting host un-installed perhaps this "thing" was able to get rooted....thats the only explanation I can think of at the moment.
It is probably safe to delete that unknown exe file!!!
This could be a "junk" from installed programs or uninstalled programs. In any case if there is no command to it, that file is rootless and useless.
I had one no long time ago which was marked as .~ or something like this. After research I deleted it with no problems.
I'll delete the silly thing...but it sure caused me alittle more worry than I prefer to endure.
I am sure glad you got it.

IT Basics 4: Using IT to build your brand
The internet can be used to develop your brand if used correctly, writes IT consultant Andrew Brenson
Andrew Brenson
In my career I've managed the IT functions of several third sector organisations, and my work has given me plenty of exposure to the ways in which the web can be used to market a charity. I've seen and heard enough to form a balanced view of the potential benefits and pitfalls it offers.
Without question the digital age has opened up numerous opportunities for NGOs to enhance their reach, develop their brand and further their missions.
But it's also true that a lot of charity money has been poured down a number of technology drains for little or no return.
Senior third sector management are naturally aware of the revolution that the wired society and social media have created, and it seems to me that many of those executives are terrified of missing the boat. As a result some have made poor decisions in haste.
There are certainly a very large number of "communications specialists" falling over themselves to pitch their ideas to NGOs for a juicy fee, offering to find a niche that they can use to make that charity stand out from the cyber crowd.
The old ways of reaching your target audience could be expensive and new media has offered a means of getting to those same supporters with little cost, so inevitably it's very attractive to organisations whose marketing budgets are slim.
Obviously the one thing that every organisation has to have now is a website. At their most basic, websites are cheap to set up and cost little to maintain if you're not looking to regularly update them.
But if you want your site to act as more than just a static repository containing key information about your organisation, you can end up spending potentially significant amounts of money on changing content and regular redesigns.
Pretty much every charity now has a Facebook page too. Again, setting it up takes little time, it's free and the page can act as a great tool to get your message out to people. Content again is the issue – is it just there as a shop window or do you want it to be dynamic? If you do, the creation and management of that content is going to cost and you need to think about whether that will pay you back.
A charity I worked for had more than 100,000 likes and used Faceook as a tool to regularly inform people about campaigns, posting two or three status updates a week. That easily justified the fact that one person maintained that channel pretty much full time. Another charity I know employed a person full time to maintain its Facebook page. It had just 700 likes, which didn't seem good value.
Remember that Facebook needs monitoring since not everyone will write nice things about you on your page, and some charities update their page so often that they can annoy those who have liked them.
Once you've invested in the content creation, particularly if it's time sensitive news information, then of course Twitter and RSS feeds can be harnessed to get it out as far and wide as possible too. YouTube channels are starting to be used by larger charities, but again the costs involved in producing the content itself can be substantial.
The two biggest wastes of money I've seen involved a charity creating an immersive 360 degree platform to enable the viewer to virtually visit one of its operations. It cost a six figure sum to create, was heavily advertised and after an initial flurry, sank without trace. The same charity also spent a fortune building a presence in Second Life, which you may remember was the next big thing in 2008 but is now very much out of fashion. Those niches turned out to be cul-de-sacs.
At best, the internet is a low cost way of developing brand at minimal direct and indirect cost. At worst it's a money pit with little tangible return.

Deadline Day Extended; Red Bulls Notes
As clubs continue to work without a collective bargaining agreement, a number of unanswered questions hang over the upcoming MLS season, including the final 2010 salary cap number. Accordingly, late this afternoon the league postponed today's roster compliance deadline to a date to be determined. Let's hope there is some substance to the "discussions continue" part of the press release.
Back in New York after their Disney tournament victory, Red Bulls players were given three days off to recuperate. The team will reconvene at Montclair State later in the week. One more warm weather preseason trip may also be in the works before the visit of Santos on March 20.
RBNY fans were understandably worried when they witnessed Juan Pablo Angel limp off the pitch in Orlando, but according to the club Angel's injury - a lower leg strain - was less severe than was feared.
Ex-Red Bull watch (a wee bit dated, but since it's a slow news day)...
A couple of players from last year's squad continue to seek their next opportunity. Penn grad Danny Cepero speaks with the University of Pennsylvania Gazette about being cut by the Red Bulls and what's next for him.
Meanwhile fan favorite and "least hard working man in soccer" Khano Smith is back from a short stint in England's lower divisions and training with the New England Revolution.
Finally, on a happier note, Grant Wahl of Sports Illustrated has some very nice things to say about Red Bull Arena, and who are we to disagree?

Michigan grad transfer DE Michael Danna impresses early
Mike Danna
By Aaron McMann | amcmann@mlive.com
It's only been about two weeks, and these are just summer workouts, but Michael Danna is already making an early impression at Michigan.
The graduate transfer defensive end from Central Michigan arrived on campus in late June and was immediately enrolled in summer workouts under Ben Herbert and the Michigan strength staff.
And so far, Danna has passed with flying colors.
"His work ethic has been outstanding," Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh said this week on his "Attack Each Day" podcast. "He carries himself like he's on a mission — to make Michigan great and to make himself great.
"That has been noticed by everyone on the team, and everybody on the coaching staff."
Phil Steele: Michigan will beat Ohio State, win Big Ten in 2019
Steele's annual college football preview magazine is on newsstands now.
Harbaugh has already affixed the Don Brown-led "dude" status on Danna, who signed a National Letter of Intent to play at Michigan in February. He played in 38 games over three seasons at CMU, starting 16 of them, and earned first-team all-Mid-American Conference honors in 2018 thanks to a career-best 66 tackles (15 for a loss) and 9 1/2 sacks.
That leaves him one more season of eligibility, which is expected to come this fall when Michigan looks to try and put together another top-five defense nationally.
"Moving exceptionally well, which we thought," Harbaugh said. "But then there's some of the sled work and some of the things where you come up and physically punch and hit. He's got a lot of power. More than we thought. He's underpromising and overdelivering right now."
Where Danna fits in along the defensive line remains to be seen. Junior end Kwity Paye (29 tackles, two sacks) is a shoe-in to start, while Aidan Hutchinson played in all 13 games as a true freshman.
Brown, Michigan's defensive coordinator, did not have an answer yet during spring practice in April — signaling a potential competition for playing time during preseason camp, which is set to start on Aug. 2.

— PFF College (@PFF_College) April 29, 2019
"I pride myself on being a hard worker, and that's been since Day 1," Danna, a Detroit native who played at Warren's De La Salle Collegiate High School. "I pride myself on being a hard worker and separating myself from the pack, whether it's in the classroom, in the weight room, off the field, on the field."
Harbaugh credited tight-ends coach Sherrone Moore -- a former assistant coach at CMU -- for landing Danna, who was last listed at 6-foot-2 and 257 pounds. He cited Danna's "outstanding" numbers on Pro Football Focus, which gave the edge rusher a 91.3 grade in pass-rushing situations and an 87.4 on run defense.
He led MAC edge rushers in most defensive stops, too, with 42. Overall, PFF graded Danna a 91.6. The NFL was an option. Instead, he opted to give it one more go-around.
"I just thought that one more year of college football would have put icing on the cake," Danna said. "I knew I had a really good season last year and I was capable of leaving, but I just knew in the back of my head that one more season at a very good program, at a very prestigious program, would put the icing on the cake and blow the roof off."
SIX SCHOLARS: Michigan football had six players from its 2018 team recognized Tuesday for receiving the Big Ten's Distinguished Scholar Award: Joseph Files, Noah Furbush, Jordan Glasgow, Grant Newsome, Jameson Offerdahl and Stephen Spanellis.
The award was doled out to 1,098 Big Ten student-athletes for achieving a 3.7 GPA or higher during the 2018-19 academic year.

Published by Lily Canter on 04 September 2018.
The flagship initiative which promised to give working parents 30 funded hours of childcare a week to all three- and-four-year-olds has led to nurseries hiking fees and charging for extras in a bid to plug a funding gap.
A survey by the Pre-School Learning Alliance reveals that half of childcare providers have increased fees as a result of offering the 30 hours and 42% have introduced or increased charges for additional services such as meals, nappies and trips.
A separate poll conducted by Mumsnet found that 45% of parents accessing the 30 funded hours scheme had been asked to pay additional fees for non-funded hours and 41% had been asked to start paying more for goods and services.
Childcare providers say they have been forced to put up rates on non-funded hours and to start charging for extras in order to compensate for an estimated £616.5 million funding shortfall from the government.
He also warns that the situation will get worse with early years funding levels frozen until 2020, despite business costs and wages increasing.
Responding to the reports, children and families minister Nadhim Zahawi MP says: "More than 340,000 children have benefited from a 30 hours place in its first year, as childcare providers have risen to the challenge of delivering the offer – meaning that thousands of hardworking parents are saving up to £5,000 a year on their childcare bills.
"We are spending more than any other government on childcare support with £1 billion extra funding a year to deliver all of this government's free childcare offers. We continue to monitor delivery costs and we have commissioned new research to provide further information on the costs around childcare.
A Pre-School Learning Alliance Freedom of Information (FOI) request to all local councils in England in 2017 found the average funding rate to childcare providers was £4.27 per child per hour with some providers receiving less than £3.60.
The Alliance's latest report reveals that the funding rate is lower than the actual cost of childcare delivery for 63% of providers. And as business costs increase, a third of providers say they plan to increase fees for non-funded hours in the next year, meaning parents not eligible for the free hours will be subsidising those who are.
Mumsnet founder and chief executive Justine Roberts says: "The idea behind giving working parents 30 free hours of childcare is, in theory, a good one. But any scheme needs to be backed up by sufficient planning and funding, and our users are telling us this simply isn't happening.
Aimi Turnbull (pictured below) was delighted when her daughter turned three and became eligible for the 30 free hours at preschool. She initially received a reduced invoice but after just one month the pre-school introduced a food supplement fee of £8.30 a day.
Ms Turnbull explains: "The pre-school said the scheme was causing their business 'financial hardship', as the amount they claimed back from the government didn't make up the difference, and left them with a shortfall each month.
Meanwhile, mother-of-three Emma Wilkinson was forced to change nurseries after she discovered her provider wanted to charge her almost £4,000 a year for supposedly 'free' childcare for her eligible three-year-old and increase fees for her one-year-old.
"We received a letter saying what the break down was and how the free hours were going to work. When I looked at it closely I realised we were being charged extra for meals and activities which never appeared on the bill before and there was no opt-out.


Do we pay proper attention to triglyceride levels in coronary artery disease?
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that elevated triglyceride levels increase the risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). This study sought to evaluate the approach to triglyceride levels in patients with CAD in the cardiology department of a tertiary medical center.
The study consisted of 100 consecutive patients (79 males, 21 females; mean age 58±10 years) who were admitted to the cardiology department of a university hospital with angina pectoris and were found to have CAD by elective coronary angiography. Data were obtained from hospital records. Lipid profiles of the patients and management strategies were assessed.
Hyperlipidemia was detected in 66%. The mean total cholesterol, triglyceride, high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were 203±44 mg/dl, 195±106 mg/dl, 43±11 mg/dl, and 124±38 mg/dl, respectively. On admission, none of the patients were receiving fibrates, and 31% were on statin treatment, which increased to 65% on discharge. In 10 patients, triglyceride levels were not determined at all. According to the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III), triglyceride levels were normal (<150 mg/dl) in 29 patients (32.2%). Twenty-five patients (27.8%) had a high-normal triglyceride level (150 to 199 mg/dl), of which statin treatment was instituted in 14 patients on discharge. Thirty-five patients (38.9%) with a high triglyceride level (200 to 499 mg/dl) had hypertriglyceridemia as the most prominent lipid profile; of these, statin treatment was instituted in 27 patients and fibrates were prescribed to three patients.
Our data show that triglyceride levels do not receive proper attention and that fibrates are underused in the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia in CAD. Considering high triglyceride levels, awareness of physicians for hypertriglyceridemia and its treatment should be enhanced.

A Dental Veneer is a thin laminate of material placed over a tooth for multiple reasons. It could be done either to enhance the aesthtics (Discolored Tooth) or to restore broken/chipped teeth. It can be done by using either composite or porcelain invloving direct (built-up in the mouth) or indirect (buit-up in the lab by Technician) placement.
Porcelain Veneers involve two visits as the tooth has to prepared and then the impression has to be sent to the dental laboratory for its fabrication. Once it is received then it is later bonded to the tooth.
Well! This dental powerhouse works wonders: closing gaps, lightening colour and properly aligning a smile.

Q: Optimize code for efficiency I have created the code to perform a mapping of points from one vector to another based on Euclidean distance and have checked that it works correct.
However it is taking too much time. Essentially I have created a matrix for euclidean distance of A and B vectors and found the minimum of it. After I denote the mapping of these points I delete the row and column from the euclidean matrix by marking them as NaN for the next mapping to occur.
Can this code be more efficient because it is awfully slow right now...
Euclid = distance(A,B); % calculates euclid distance column v/s column wise.
for var = 1 : value
    %# finds the min of Euclid and its position, when Euclid is viewed as a 1D array
    [~, position] = min(Euclid(:));

    %#transform the index in the 1D view to 2 indices
    [i,j] = ind2sub(size(Euclid),position);

    %display(strcat(num2str(i),32, num2str(j)));

    mapping = [A(1,i) A(2,i) B(1,j) B(2,j)];
    fprintf(FID,'%d %d %d %d\n', mapping );

    Euclid( i , : ) = NaN;
    Euclid( : , j ) = NaN;
    %counter = counter + 1;
end

The problem is that for a 5000 X 5000 matrix the code just hangs for a long time...
Can somebody help me out...

A: I suppose something to try is reshaping the array of distances into a 1-D array, where you keep careful record of how that new 1-D index will map back into the 2-D index. Then just call a sorting function on the 1-D array, to sort it into ascending order. Make sure to save the permutation of the indices that causes the sort, and then read-off the 2-D array coordinates that correspond to the 1-D coordinates in the sort permutation. In this method, you'll be at the mercy of Matlab's sort algorithms, and you'll need to keep careful track of the index changes from reshaping.
This also poses a problem for removing points from consideration. You would have to keep a running list of indices for points that have already been selected, and if (as you traverse the 1-D permutation) you encounter something that corresponds to an index already selected, then you just skip it (e.g. you don't set it to NaN, you just skip it from consideration).
This saves you from needing to compute a minimum every time. The only real checking at each iteration of a for-loop that traverses the 1-D sort permutation is the logical check whether  the current location has been selected before (due to one of its points being involved in a smaller distance location). On iteration i, this check takes at most i-1 comparisons, so this will be slightly less than O(n^2).
This will be faster than your current method, which calculates the min of the whole array every time, but still not as fast as the O(n log n) method mentioned in the link below.
More generally, you want to read the papers linked in the answers to this question. This is not a trivial problem, not well suited for the RAM intensive Matlab sessions, and probably will require you to rewrite your whole approach to this.
Another idea is that if you broadcast all of the array A to a bunch of processors, then this is embarrassingly parallel on the points in array B. You can ship out pieces of B to different processors, and get back a list of all the distances. You'll have to do some processing back on the head node to select out the index for the min-distance and remove those points, but not too much. Probably you can re-write that part anyway so that you don't need to compute the distances multiple times.
So if you write this in, say, Python or C++, you could quickly use the MPI library and then either run it on a cloud cluster at Amazon Web Services, or on a local cluster if you have access.

Recently, I've been thinking about dissertation topics in a more concrete way. Right now I'm thinking about examining the effect of drama-based instruction techniques in undergraduate foreign language courses on students' transcultural competence, that is, their abilities to function across cultures. Specifically, I'd like to focus on students' abilities to recognize their perspective from within their own cultural membership and to open themselves to the perspectives of people from cultures different than their own. While this may never result in complete understanding, empathy is an important trait of social interaction.
But I've also been thinking of another trans lately: transgender.
Ferran Esteve/ Flickr Creative Commons
First, let's talk terminology. To be transgender means that a person's gender identity is different than the identity assigned at birth. Sexuality and anatomy are different issues. Gender/transgender refers to culture: social behaviors, identity and perceptions.
There was a Time Magazine cover recently titled "The Transgender Tipping Point: America's next civil rights frontier". While the story by Katy Steinmetz was a balanced mix of background information, statistics, and stories about the experiences of a few diverse individuals, I found the most interesting quote to be a detail in parentheses: "(This article will use the names, nouns and pronouns preferred by individuals, in accordance with TIME's style)". That's an important linguistic decision that shows respect and normalcy.
I too want to tell stories of three transgender women from my perspective as an outsider, a cis female. I offered to change their names to protect their privacy, but all three of these women gave me their explicit permission to use their real names. I like this, as I can write in greater detail without having to change their stories to protect their identities. Also, their willingness and relative nonchalance about being open indicates something good about the current state of US society.
In college, 1998-2002, I played bass drum in the Boston University Marching Band. Bass 2 out of 5. We were five people who played the split parts of one instrument. We also worked as part of a larger team, the drumline. Dale played tenors and was section head my sophomore year. While Dale was a good leader and musician, I remember occasionally being annoyed at what I perceived to be macho behavior. "Dale broke another mallet?" Overcompensation…
I learned a few years later that Dale identified as female. I don't remember exactly, but I think she told me in an email. A long email. I didn't know this was a thing. She invited me to ask questions and offered to explain anything I wanted. I don't think I was ready to ask, much less formulate questions. It wasn't that I was judging her, I just couldn't quite wrap my head around the concept.
In 2008, I threw an "it's too late" bachelorette party for myself and a friend during a brief trip back to Boston. We had both married internationally and hadn't had a chance to celebrate with friends from undergrad. I invited Dale, who had transitioned but kept her name. She had the idea to play drums for the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch to raise money for her hormone therapy. She was living and working as a female. Face to face, I didn't really know what to talk about beyond reminiscing about our antics on the drumline. But I was glad she was there. I hope she was glad to be there.
By 2013, I was living in Austin and playing roller derby. The derby community is open to a wide range of gender and sexuality alignments. The reasons for this development are probably documented elsewhere on the interwebs. If you're interested, the Vagine Regime is a good place to start. (Editor's note: look at who comes up at 2:16!)
So when I heard that Fifi Nomenon is trans female, it wasn't a big thing to wrap my head around anymore. While I wouldn't have necessarily guessed it, I wasn't particularly shocked either. It was as if someone had told me she likes cheese pancakes: unusual, but not a huge revelation that negatively or positively impacted my overall opinion of her as a skater and person. Way more relevant to my opinion: She's an all-star Texecutioner and she's on Team fucking USA. We share a derby number, 108. I respond well to her training style and she's supported my team at some of our scrimmages, most notably, an ass-whooping at Rollercon 2013 (Team Free Radicals vs. the Anti-oxidents, which turned out to consist largely of Windy City skaters). She and her girlfriend publicly display their affections through intelligent puns on facebook. And I met her as a she, so nothing about that changed.
Fifi's real name is Penelope. I assume she chose that name, possibly in the same way she chose her derby name. I don't know what her name was before. That's something I wouldn't ask unless we were having a more personal conversation about the past. The closest I ever was to having a conversation about her transition was in her kitchen while she was preparing BBQ. I had a derby-related research project idea and was explaining to her the difference between quantitative and qualitative research. "Quantitative research: on a scale from 1 to 7, how satisfied are you with your experience chopping sausage? Qualitative research: tell me about your experience chopping sausage." I don't remember whether we shared a look, a brief laugh, a meaningful "Hmm", or a comment, but I remember we had a moment. That moment was to the effect of "isn't this funny and ironic. Let's talk about something else. Okay, cool."
This is something with which I feel I can empathize. During the 8 or so years that I lived in Germany, others made me into the token US American. Especially during the 2003 Iraq war, I sometimes just wanted to go to a party without discussing George W. Bush for the umpteenth time. But this comparison can only go so far. While I worked to become linguistically and culturally German-like, in the end, I identified as bi-cultural. To this day, I identify with traits, values, and behaviors from both cultures. And, while I disagree with some aspects of American culture and society, I've never felt like I was born in the wrong country.
With this in mind, I've tried not to make Fifi into the token trans woman. Well, until this essay. Hmph, how do I dig myself out of this contradiction?
The day after writing a first draft of this post, I had brunch with my derby wives, Hatch and Mo, and our mistress, Cue (the practice of having derby wives is another fun topic documented elsewhere). I asked them how they thought Fifi would react to my post and told them about the sausage story. After some brief discussion, Cue said, "Wait, Fifi is a trans woman? I never would have guessed that." My immediate thought was, "Oh no, I outed her!" But then Cue continued nonchalantly, "Hmm, interesting." I then told them about my cheese pancakes analogy, and Mo responded, "Is that a European thing? Dutch like cheese pancakes too!" Hatch added, "All I can think about now is cheese pancakes and how I have to try that!" We then moved on to talk about Fifi and a few other skaters and why we liked them so much. We later danced with a parrot named Rowdy to Copacabana.
So that's why I'm including Fifi's story from my perspective: to illustrate normalcy. And derby love: it's a real thing.
And as to my "token trans woman" conundrum, Fifi's response to an early draft put my fears to rest and sums up exactly what I am trying to convey: "I can only imagine it forwards the cause to have trans people out there living their lives, being happy, making friends, and not making a big thing out of it."
Also in 2013, my old friend from high school, [pre-Allie], posted on facebook that she was transitioning. I never saw this coming, but I was happy for her. She was taking hormone therapy, her wife was extremely supportive, and she was living in a progressive city on the West Coast. She. Her. Her name is Allison. Allie.
I found it so hard to switch names and pronouns for a person I hadn't seen in years. [Pre-Allie] is who I know from high school. I haven't met Allie in person yet. So when she posted something about the anniversary of making her true gender alignment public, I commented that I only know [pre-Allie] and would like to meet Allie.
I thought I was being oh so supportive and tolerant. A few days later, she wrote me a personal message politely requesting that I remove her pre-transition name. She knew I was not trying to cause harm, but she didn't want to be referred to as [pre-Allie] in any way, especially on her anniversary post. I had no idea. I had never considered that she may want to distance herself from who she was the first 30ish years of her life. While I have had many identities and subculture memberships, I had always melded these many facets into one whole identity. I couldn't fathom trying to remove any piece. My empathy had reached its limits. I still have a lot to learn about her perspective.
But I think I get it a little more now. In a prior draft of this piece, the first paragraph of Allie's section intentionally mixed pronouns as a rhetorical device to convey my own linguistic and conceptual difficulties. While she recognized my narrative choice, Allie gently reminded me that it's best practice to use one set of pronouns, and that she still preferred for me not to use her pre-transition name. I still had a hard time grasping this. It felt like she was denying her past. She explained to me that her new name is actually just a different label for the fundamentally same person. That's when it hit me: maybe Allie was always there. She's just more visible now. And happier. Woah.
Here are some helpful links Allie shared:

And here's a link to a photography project that features a former student of mine: http://www.transcendinggender.org/
In the end, transgender issues are also transcultural issues. Cultures aren't limited to national cultures. To be transgender means to be a part of a minority subculture that has its own practices, products, and perspectives (to frame it in terms of foreign language education, from ACTFL's "3 Ps" of culture). Transgender culture can be misunderstood, leading to its members having to fight for civil rights. As in all cultures, membership is fluid, and any individual may identify more or less with this community. Others outside of the transgender subculture may support or reject the norms, practices, and realities of transgender people. They may also be well-meaning and misunderstand or mess up.
I may never completely understand what a trans woman experiences. And I may make mistakes. Even in writing this piece, I've hit boundaries. But, as I am recognizing my own perspective and subsequently opening my worldview, I hope and believe that others are as well.
Thanks to Dale, Fifi and Allie for letting me share your stories.

Mahama apologises to Joy FM reporter after assault by security detail
The office of former President John Mahama, has said investigations are ongoing into the assault of a Joy FM reporter by a member of John Mahama's security detail.
The reporter, Kwesi Parker Wilson, was said to have been slapped by the security personnel on Monday whiles covering Mr. Mahama's campaign to be National Democratic Congress flagbearer (NDC) at the Pentecost University as part of his five-day tour of the Greater Accra Region.
The incident left Mr. Wislon with bruises and swelling on the right side of his face, according to Joy FM.
Mr. Mahama's office in a short statement said the former president had reached out to the reporter to offer his apologies.
In the meantime, the statement assured that the matter was being investigated.
"Our attention has been drawn to an unfortunate incident involving a security personnel and a reporter from Joy FM, Mr. Kwesi Parker Wilson, during our meeting with delegates today at the Pentecost University College in the Anya Sowutuom constituency."
"The in-charge of security has been informed and the matter us duly being investigated. In the meantime, former President John Dramani Mahama, has offered his personal apologies to Mr. Parker Wilson for the unfortunate incident."
Recalling the incident, Mr. Parker said he had wanted to follow the President to meet the authorities of the Pentecost University College after some time with the students.
But Mr. Parker said one of the security detail did not allow him and his cameraman access claiming journalists were not invited.
The security personnel did not take kindly to Mr. Parker's attempts to explain himself.

An attempt by Parker to explain to the security officer that he was with the ex-president and had been covering all his activities did not go down well with him.
"He started pushing me" Mr. Parker said, adding that he was then slapped.
"I went blank and fell… as I speak to you my right eye is teary," he said to Joy News.
Attacks on journalists during political party events have been recorded a few times, and the two main parties are often guilty.
In the early part of 2018, a known member of the NPP, Hajia Fati, also attacked a journalist of the Multimedia group.

RVA #31: Anatomy of a Shooting

Wonderland, Shockoe Bottom
Ryan hadn't planned on going out that night. Hanging out at home seemed just as viable of an option, but after being visited by a friend, he was convinced. His friend's band, Torino Death Ride, was playing at the classic Richmond haunt for metal and hardcore rock: Wonderland.
Originally printed in RVA #31 WINTER 2017, you can check out the issue HERE or pick it up around Richmond now.
Now, as mannequin heads hang from the ceiling and purple lights illuminate the walls, decorated with spiders, deer heads, clowns and skulls, post-hardcore rock floods the room.
He hadn't planned on going out that night. Yet here he is, standing at the bar, drinking a beer, talking to friends he's known for years and listening to the band close their set in the charmingly creepy and irresistibly weird Shockoe Bottom bar.
The streets are quiet right now, as most of Shockoe Bottom patrons have made their way inside the bars and clubs. Between 30 and 40 people occupy Wonderland tonight, all enjoying a space that many have come to call a second home.
It's another Saturday night in the Bottom.
The band is just finishing up and are beginning to load their things into their car–drums, amps, instruments–before the late-night crowds flood the streets and police close in to ensure another night of safe fun on Main Street.
The air conditioning unit in Wonderland hasn't been working correctly, and this early in October the last dredges of a Virginia summer feel oppressively humid. The front windows of Wonderland are wide open to allow air flow.
The person manning the front door is Clint, who's just helped the band load their equipment into the car. Crowds from neighboring bars and clubs are filtering into the streets–some headed for a late-night snack like wings or pizza, others finding their way to cars or waiting for Ubers. The sidewalks buzz with life.
Chad Painter, the owner of Wonderland, had told all his door guys that if there was ever any trouble in the street, they should take pictures in case it would help police. Clint had seen a fight break out down the street, but also saw a Deputy arrive and break it up. The situation seemed to have de-escalated, but within a few moments, they would find it hadn't.
It's not just another Saturday night in the Bottom.
18th and Main Street
Lt. Erlan Marshall was making his usual rounds in Shockoe Bottom. He has worked with the Richmond Police Department (RPD) for over 20 years, and assumed his current role as head of operations in Shockoe Bottom about four years ago. Working overnight shifts in the Bottom is overtime for most officers, but for Lt. Marshall–this was his usual Friday and Saturday night. He manages the 10th to 19th street blocks of Shockoe Bottom and likes to keep around 11 officers on patrol in the area.
"We basically are all assigned to zones," Marshall said. "Officers try to stay close to areas that could have a potential for violence, merely because of the fact that there are clubs, there's alcohol, and there are lots of young people. We show a strong presence in order to try and deter crime."
While walking up 18th Street, Lt. Marshall hears gunfire. An officer sends a message over the radio, "Shots fired." Two officers in reflective vests were just a half block away from the sound of the shooting, but their presence was not enough to deter this gunfire.
"Our challenge was try to figure out who was shooting because by the time I rounded the corner and came into the zone, there were no shots being fired," Marshall explained. "But what was happening, it was like a wild stampede because people are running in all directions. From the officer's point of view, we don't know what's going on, we don't know who's shooting, who has the gun, whatever. All we see is people who are running towards officers in all directions."
Within seconds, an ambulance was called and responding officers began putting crime scene tape around the entire 1700 block of Main Street.
"It sounded just like popping. You know those snappy things you throw as a kid on the ground that pop? It sounded like that, but a hundred times louder. The window was open as well, so the sound came right in."
Julia Veres was standing at the end of the bar, side furthest from the window when she heard that popping sound. After hearing it five or six more times, she realized it wasn't an amp or a firecracker, but actual gunshots.
"I dropped like gravity didn't fucking exist," Veres said. "I was right at the end of the bar and I was like boom. We were all on the ground in at least a minute, maybe two minutes."
The bartender, Brian, had yelled at everyone to get on the ground. Clint was still outside and pushed anyone lingering on the sidewalk back into the bar, including the band members who were still loading their equipment.
"I thought it was the speakers, like the snare drum, or some percussion instrument going off on the speakers," Ryan said. "Then I just saw some motion out of the corner of my eye. I was talking to somebody, and I just glanced and they were all piling towards the door. I heard, 'Get down! Get the fuck down!' And I heard more gunshots. Then I knew. Then I dropped and everybody in here dropped."
Painter, the bar owner, was walking into the bar from the back office when the shots were fired. When he realized what was happening, he quickly made his way to the front to make sure the doors were secure and everyone was on the ground.
"[Clint] was crouched down in the doorway looking towards the stuff, and there is a bullet hole in the wall, not even a foot above where his head would have been if he were standing up," said Painter.
Brian threw the keys to the front door to Clint, who locked the door. Chad shut the front windows, killed the music and worked with Brian and Clint to push everyone towards the back of the bar, into the kitchen, staying low.
"We had a couple people who were outside and a friend of mine, Ace, who was coming back from getting pizza. The bullets went right by his head," Chad said. "He took off running, he ran out back and got underneath the air conditioning unit in the back because he didn't know what was going on. We let him in the back, and he was completely shaken up the rest of the night."
Seconds pass as everyone crowds together on the floor. Then minutes.
1700 block of Main Street
The first people police allow into a crime scene are medical emergency responders. By 1:30, the ambulance had arrived, and EMTs had examined the two victims.
Deonte M. Bullock, 19, and Oscar W. Lewis II, 25, were found fatally wounded in the 1700 block of East Main Street, just outside Wonderland. The boys were known to be best friends since childhood. While Bullock was transported by ambulance to the hospital, Lewis was pronounced dead at the scene. His friend would be pronounced dead that afternoon.
"After we have that part covered, detectives then come in and start working the case," Lt. Marshall explained. "They collect the evidence, interviewing any witnesses that we might have, and they don't normally do the interview on scene. Usually, they ask the witness to go to police headquarters where they can be interviewed and recorded, and then they go from there. That same night, they had warrants on the shooter."
Detectives were able to find a reliable witness. A young woman who said she was the girlfriend of one of the victims was taken to police headquarters and interviewed. Her descriptions, along with eyewitnesses at the scene, were able to identify the offender as Dominique D. Brockenbrough, 40.
Brockenbrough
"[Detectives] believe it was a retaliation," Marshall said, referring to an earlier shooting dispute that summer he believed involved the two victims.
According to the police record, Brockenbrough is wanted on charges of "aggravated malicious wounding, possessing and transporting a firearm by a convicted felon, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony."
"I think I was there until 3:30, but if I remember correctly someone told me that they cleared the scene around 6 o'clock in the morning," Lt. Marshall said. "People might not understand why they're out there that long, but they have to remember that it's preserving evidence and pictures, measurements, things like that become very important when you go into court for a murder trial. You can't just come, scoop up the person and leave. You have to show consistent evidence."
Because of this process, the body of 25-year-old Oscar Lewis remained on the sidewalk for nearly five hours.
"I saw the hand," Veres said. "I just wanted to know in my own head just how close this was to our front door. I just went to the window, I just leaned forward just a little bit, and I just saw the hand and I thought, 'That's really, really fucking close.' But I didn't want to see him."
Painter and the other employees work to keep everyone secure inside. A group of about 15 college-aged kids can't wait and leave out the back shortly after police block off the sidewalk out front. Although the heavy police presence suggests no imminent danger, Painter tries to keep everyone else inside until police gave an all-clear.
"There was one girl, actually," Veres said. "She was just inconsolable, crying. I was shaking, but I was okay. She was in this booth toward the back, she wasn't near the window. I would say she had to be under 25. Right after everyone got down and he closed the front window and everyone got in the back, she walked past me, just crying. It's just sad. Two people are dead. That's the saddest part. It's sad we had to experience something like that, but at the end of the day, there are two human lives that were taken."
Most patrons stay in the bar for the next hour after the incident, consoling one another, talking to each other, waiting for news. "To be completely honest with you, I had a beer after that," Ryan said. "I had to sit down."
There are two bullet holes in Wonderland's building. One is just to the left of the front door.
"Clint said he went home and had to wash his hair three or four times because when the bullet hit, there was still the dust from the plaster," Painter said. "He had to wash his hair three or four times just to get it out, to not feel like that was there. He was back the next night."
There is another bullet hole that goes through the window in Sumo San, the restaurant just next door. Sumo San had been long closed before the shooting, but the bullet went straight through to the wall.
"I had to look," Ryan said. "I stood out there and I looked at the kid. Then a couple times after that, I went and looked through the window and he was in the same spot. You keep hoping, or wanting, or expecting that next time you go and look, that they've rolled or that they're talking to somebody. I didn't know who this guy was, but I think inherently in every human being you don't want to see anyone else suffer or be in pain. I feel bad about the fact that I needed to go look. What did I need to go see a dead man for?"
The only officers needed now are patrol officers to secure the crime scene while forensics and detectives finish their work. They're stationed at different points to ensure no one accidentally wanders into the crime scene or disturbs the evidence. Lt. Marshall can go home.
"Seeing as how I've been working the overtime down there for four years, this is the first shooting that's happened while I was working," Marshall said. "Historically, over the past years when there was violence there, it happened in that general area. Not to say that can't happen on Cary Street, because there are clubs over there, too. They have had incidents over there, but not to the extreme as those that happen on Main Street."
Marshall ticked off proactive steps the police took for Main Street. "We decided to actually shut the streets down a little bit earlier, enforce a little bit harder parking regulation, basically keep cars away from a club where they might have easy access to a gun. Basically, do little things to deter crime from happening."
Other than one incident near the Farmer's Market this past July, there hasn't been a shooting like this in Shockoe Bottom since 2011. Things are much quieter in the Bottom under Lt. Marshall's watch, and crime has been steadily decreasing in the area. But according to Marshall, crime, on the whole, isn't down, it's simply moved elsewhere.
There were 61 homicides in the city of Richmond in 2016. In the first 36 days of 2017, violent crime had increased by 25 percent. Unfortunately, the areas where crime is occurring is often in government housing areas, according to Marshall. It's why the public sees such high spikes in Richmond crimes rates. More than 130 people have been shot in Richmond this year, and as of Nov. 17, there have been 62 deaths by gunshot in 2017, according to the database.
"When I first moved here and I lived in the Richmond area apartments, I worked at Alley Katz," Ryan said. "I loved coming to Shockoe Bottom. There was a group of us and we called ourselves 'Bottom Rats.' We loved it. And now, I don't like coming down here. It's a fucking shame because this bar is the shit. McCormack's is awesome. It's just like on certain nights of the week, it's like a war zone. You don't know what's going to go down."
Marshall said that there are plans in motion to set up video cameras in the street that would connect to a police officer in Main Street Station, offering officers live feed of this area of the Bottom. In addition to this project, the reconstruction of the Shockoe Bottom Farmer's Market promises to install its own set of video cameras, further providing tools to gather evidence if another instance like this should ever occur.
"I don't know that there's any answer for how you stop people from committing crimes, because as I said before, there were two officers maybe half a block away, and this person still decided to pull out a gun knowing very well there was a potential for him to be confronted by the police," Marshall said. "I don't know that there's an answer for how you stop crime because some people are just bent on doing crime, and they're going to do it, and not really consider the consequences."
Morning of October 8
"It's difficult not to break down," Painter said. "Fuck the business. I almost lost several very close friends. People who are like my brothers. Again, money is money, it's whatever it is. Further on the back end, obviously, this is going to affect business for everybody down here. But the number one thing was I almost lost a lot of really good friends, and I broke down a little bit once I got home. But when you're the leader, so to speak, you have to be strong for everyone. It's very difficult. Thank God everybody is safe."
Painter was still in his bar with Julia Veres, Ace, and a few others come morning. Several people couldn't leave because their cars were part of the crime scene, which wasn't cleared until 6 a.m. They stayed, talked, and processed what they had just witnessed. It was a long night.
Painter believes one of the reasons crime is more likely to happen in the Bottom is due to the presence of large-capacity clubs, like Plush and Image. Having such large groups of people together in one place, then mixing in alcohol, can create conflict between patrons and situations that are hard to control for bouncers and business owners. Although there are frequent meetings between other business owners in Shockoe Bottom, as well as the Shockoe Bottom Neighborhood Association, Painter finds that these discussions often fail to produce results or bolster neighborhood cooperation.
"You can't control 500 people," Painter said. "Period. It's like one bad apple screws it up for everyone. We've been to the meetings, we've sat there, we've talked."
Although there is a strong police presence in this section of Shockoe Bottom, Painter believes business owners should take on their own sense of responsibility when policing their own business and portion of the neighborhood, since opening a new business in Shockoe Bottom may mean bringing a new or varied demographic of people to that business.
"[Being a responsible business owner] just means you don't let people get away with shit, inside or outside," Painter said. "You walk in that door, whatever problem you have with whoever it is, that shit's out the fucking door. You're on my time. I've worked too hard at this for too long, and I've sacrificed too many aspects of my own life, be it relationships or friendships."
Because of that sacrifice, Painter's business continues to attract customers in spite of whatever may happen in the Bottom, whether they wander down the rabbit hole into Wonderland for the first time or they've been coming back every weekend for years.
"It's the sense of camaraderie," Painter said. "The pyramid effect of everybody who's worked for me or been with me through the years; they still come back, regardless of what happens. They keep coming back. I'm still here because this is like an oasis or an escape for people. People come here for years. They go away, they come back, they've got stories. Once you get in, you never leave. It's a sense of community, our own little family. I guess they feel like they belong to something."

Amma Hotel is a small eatery at Puthiyara famous for its spicy fish fry served with the afternoon meals. Located on a narrow byline just after the first bridge at S.K.Pottakkad road this restaurant serves customers from 12pm to 3 pm everyday except Sunday.
Amma Hotel has set a benchmark for all other restaurants in Calicut by serving awsome Fish Fries along with simple yet tasty meals for the past 40 years. This hotel has proved that it's not necessary to add more number of dishes to make a meal feel complete. The rush at this place during afternoon hours bears witness to this fact.
The hotel is located near Puthiyara Junction and is 200 meters down the by lane on the left after the first bridge at S.K. Pottakkad Road. There is a good parking area just before the hotel from where you can walk up to this small restaurant.
'Meals and Fish Fry' are the only items available here. Though you can choose from three varieties of fish on any day, Ayakoora or Seer fish fry is their regular and most demanded dish. Meals are served here in banana leaves with two side dishes, pickle and different ozhichu curries. But what makes these meals special is the fish fry served along with it.
They bring the fish fries in a huge container to the customers for them to select the one they prefer to eat. Here they preserve the juiciness of the fish by shallow frying it with spicy masala that enhances the taste of the dish. The thick gravy served with the fish makes a perfect combination with the delicious meals.
Even though this hotel is small in size and has a very ordinary ambience, people visiting with their family would love this place for its homely outlook. They serve rice water instead of normal water to their customers. Amma Hotel is run by a single family and the owners themselves are the main cooks here. Their direct involvement in all the activities of the hotel helps them to ensure customer value and satisfaction.
