Dept. of Interior Networks Breached by Foreign Intelligence (November 24 and 25, 2015)
Networks at the US Department of the Interior (DOI) were breached nearly 20 times over the last several years. A report from the Office of Inspector General (OIG) says, "hackers and foreign intelligence services have compromised DOI's computer networks by exploiting vulnerabilities in publicly accessible systems, ... result
[ing ]
in the loss of sensitive data and disruption of bureau operations."

OIG Report:
-https://www.doioig.gov/sites/doioig.gov/files/2015ER068Public.pdf
(Discussion of breaches starts on page 23.)
[Editor's Note (Henry): The OIG report says "There was no evidence indicating any loss, theft or compromise of any other sensitive information." That shouldn't provide any comfort, as adversaries are very capable of hiding their efforts - demonstrated by the fact that there were 19 breaches, undetected at the time of breach. (Paller): Kudos to Interior's OIG for bringing the Department of Interior into the modern security era where incidents are not hidden but rather analyzed and their lessons used to help shape security investments. That's what nearly every major Silicon Valley technology company and many financial organizations are now doing, and it is what federal agencies have not been doing. Whenever we hear a federal CISO or CIO saying something like "We've been lucky and haven't had any substantial breaches, yet," let's all say, in unison, those immortal words from Lake Wobegon Days, "Liar, liar, pants on fire." ]
VTech Breach Affects Five Million People (November 27 and 30, 2015)
Electronic toy company VTech has "temporarily suspended" its Learning Lodge app store after discovering a database breach that compromised records of more than five million people, 200,000 of whom are children.

FBI Investigating Massive Account Credential Theft and Sale (November 27 and 30, 2015)
The FBI is investigating an individual who allegedly played a role in the theft of billions of login credentials for more than 400,000 websites. The information was offered for sale on several underground websites.

BlackBerry to Leave Pakistan Over Privacy Issues (November 30 and December 1, 2015)
BlackBerry says it will no longer operate in Pakistan after December 30, 2015 due to the Pakistani government's demands to intercept communications over the network. There are indications that the parties may reach a compromise.

FISC Names Friends of the Court (November 25 and 28, 2015)
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) has named five amici curae, or friends of the court, who will act as outside public advocates. The five were appointed as required by the USA Freedom Act, which passed earlier this year. In September, FISC appointed a public advocate for a particular case.

Amazon Password Reset (November 27, 2015)
Amazon has reset passwords for an unspecified number of customers. The company notified users with an email that says that it "recently discovered that your password may have been improperly stored on your device or transmitted to Amazon in a way that could potentially expose it to a third party."

[Editor Comment (Murray): Amazon is one of my payment proxies of choice, in part because of their incredible record, because they confirm all activity out of band, and because of this kind of proactive security. Perhaps in response to this problem, they have recently made strong authentication available as an option to their customers. I have opted in but would like to see them promote the option. In any case, Amazon's record is evidence that this job is only difficult, not impossible. (Northcutt): Both Kathy and my accounts still work. Perhaps they noticed this when testing their Two Factor Authentication because it is fairly comprehensive:

Microsoft Security Tools Remove Dell's Dodgy Certificate (November 26, 2015)
Microsoft has updated several security tools so they remove questionable certificates that were preloaded on some Dell computers. The most recent versions of Windows Defender for Windows 10 and Windows 8.1; Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows 7 and Windows Vista; and Microsoft Safety Scanner and Malicious Software Removal Tool will remove the certificates as well as the .dll plug-in that reinstalls them.

Cable Router Double Backdoor (November 26, 2015)
A double backdoor in certain Arris cable modems could be exploited to rewrite the device's firmware. The problem lies with an undocumented library discovered in three models of Arris modems.

-backdoor/article/456352/
[Editor's Note (Murray): Weaknesses in routers (and other "things") are too often related to reuse of existing code. Software developers cannot pretend to be "engineers" until they take responsibility for the choice of "materials" that they use in their products. "Researchers" need to apply the engineering principles of Strength of Materials to enable developers to understand the appropriate use of existing libraries. Until better standards and measurements are available, reuse of code must be extremely cautious. ]
Hilton Confirms Point-of-Sale System Breach (November 24 and 25, 2015)
Hilton has acknowledged that point-of-sale (PoS) systems at some of its properties were compromised, leading to theft of customer data. The stolen information includes names, payment card numbers, security codes, and expiration dates. News of the breach comes less than a week after Starwood properties disclosed a similar breach. Brian Krebs reported in September that several banks suspected there had been a breach of Hilton's systems.

[Editor's Note (Murray): The Hospitality industry continues to be a target. The Verizon Data Breach Incident report not only provides evidence of this but also of why. It would have been much cheaper for these chains to avoid the vulnerability than to find and eliminate them, cheaper to eliminate them than to tolerate them. ]
Sony Breach Settlement Gets Preliminary Approval (November 25 and 26, 2015)
A federal judge in California has given preliminary approval to a settlement in a case involving the Sony Pictures breach. The terms of the settlement call for Sony to pay up to US $8 million: US $4.5 million for employee reimbursements for losses incurred due to identity fraud, and US $3.5 million for legal fees.

LANDESK Breach May Have Serious Implications (November 25, 2015)
LANDESK recently notified its employees that their personal data may have been compromised in a breach. According to a LANDESK employee, the breach may be more serious. Although the breach was detected recently, intruders gained purchase in the company's network in June 2014, nearly a year and a half ago. The intrusion was found when employees noticed slowed Internet speeds. A software developer at the company noticed that someone from the IT department had been logging into the build server, but no one in that department was aware of the situation. Investigation found evidence that the intruders had been gathering data from build and source code servers.

Microsoft Releases Revised Update for Windows 10 (November 24, 2015)
Microsoft has released a fix for a problem caused by November's Windows 10 update. The initial update was released on November 12; Microsoft took it down on November 23 after learning that it was resetting some users' privacy settings. A fixed version of the update is now available online. Microsoft says that users whose settings were affected by the buggy version of the update will have their preferred settings restored.

Developing Technical Standards for Insulin Pumps (November 24, 2015)
Dr. David Klonoff is working with patients and technology companies to develop a technical standard for securing insulin pumps. Both the pumps currently in use and new ones still in development have wireless capability, but do not encrypt or authenticate data. The pumps can be accessed with a device's serial number, which is printed on the device itself and transmitted in cleartext with communications the device sends. Adding a layer of complexity to the development of the standard is the fact that some savvy patients tinker with their devices to better suit their needs; Dr. Klonoff said, "We have to keep in mind the trade-off between wanting security and maintaining usability." The standard is expected to be complete by July.

rom-hackers/
[Editor's Note (Ullrich): Great to see some progress on this front. But overall, there is an overdue discussion about security standards for the IoT to make it more manageable in enterprise environment. Currently, there are no standards for patching, logging or remote configuration and each vendor invents their own, often without much attention to security. (Murray): Given a limited application and a well understood environment, security should be tractable. The difficulty here is not the application; it is relatively simple. Rather it is in the environment. Securing the application against malice while reserving "usability" to the vendor, the physician, and the patient may be a over-constrained problem. Something has to give. Think, design, and build like Steve. ]

Athens residents express concerns for safety
By Ian McKenzie
Athens residents have expressed their concerns about safety after recent sexual assaults reported on and off-campus.
Although it was not discussed during the Athens City Council meeting Monday, city council members are aware of the issues and discussing ways to improve safety.
Mayor Steve Patterson said he is informed that the public is concerned about safety and believes discussions about rape culture are on the rise.
"People feel more empowered to report and it's a good thing," Patterson said.
Patterson believes that a positive from the situation is that more victims are reporting. He said the numbers of reports are similar to those of years past.
Patterson is a member of two organizations that discuss issues of sexual assault: International Town and Gown Association, or ITGA, and the National League of Cities, or NLC. He described how ITGA communicates issues and challenges in institutions of higher education and its communities. NLC is more focused on city administration issues to help city leaders build better communities.
Chris Knisely, city council president, said council members have taken initiative to discuss concerns about student safety with Athens city workers, including the idea of implementing foot patrols.
Kinsely spoke of an event called OpenOHIO, a open discussion hosted by the university on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons in Baker Center that gives students the ability to talk in small groups about issues on campus.
Kent Butler, D-1st Ward, said he had been confronted by residents about sexual assault and safety concerns in previous years. Notably, residents expressed concerns about the lighting in the city.
"(The discussion) is cyclical," Butler said. "The city had a bus ride around the city to look for places that could be improved for the safety of all citizens."
Judith Roman, an Athens resident, said she has been coming to city council meetings since May.
Roman said she would like to see changes in the parking garage, such as cameras, lighting and a police officer stationed at the entrance.
"I want to feel safe when I'm parking and not have to worry about my safety when I turn the corner," Roman said.

ANNADANAM is a sacred activity. In Hinduism, there is no better puja and ritual than feeding hungry living beings.
ANNADANAM is MAHADANAM i.e. the greatest donation in Hindu religion and is an essential part of Sanatana Dharma tradition. There are numerous stories in Hindu scriptures that extol the glory of Annadanam - prominent being Goddess Parvati appearing as Goddess Annapurnaeshwari and feeding Shiva.
ANNAM PARA BRAHMA SWARUPAM - Food supports the body to attain Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. Donors of Annadanam are considered as donors of Pranadanam.

Tiernan-Locke: British racing scene needs major overhaul
by George Scott
georgetscott
Team Sky's latest British recruit, Jonathan Tiernan-Locke, believes the domestic racing scene needs a major overhaul if it is to survive, thrive and produce more riders capable of stepping up to WorldTour level.
Tiernan-Locke attracted the attention of the world's number one ranked team after a superb season with UCI Continental outfit Endura Racing, racking up overall victories in the Tour Méditerranéen, Tour du Haut Var and Tour Alsace.
Tiernan-Locke then went on to win the Tour of Britain in September – but while the country's national tour has gone from strength to strength since its revival in 2004, the domestic calendar is barely keeping its head above water.
Jon Tiernan-Locke attracted the attention of Team Sky after a string of European victories with Endura Racing
Last month British Cycling cut the number of races in the Premier Calendar series to six, a 50 per cent reduction from 2007, and down from 27 when the series was born in 1993, and Tiernan-Locke insists British-based teams like Endura Racing are being forced abroad to find racing of a high enough quality.
"It's a shame, but the domestic scene in this country just isn't there," Tiernan-Locke told RoadCyclingUK. "You've got the [Tour Series and Elite Circuit Series] criteriums but I've only ever done a couple of those. It's good for television and good for the sport, I suppose, but I hate it [criterium racing] to be honest.
"The Premier Calendar races are dying off and on the local road racing scene there's not the quality because the culture's not there compared to in Europe.
"Luckily I've had the chance to race outside the UK which has enabled me to step up and get a better contract, and do better races, and that's not thanks to the UK, so I'll be glad not to be racing [another domestic season] to be honest."
The public's appetite for road racing has never been higher on the back of a year in which Bradley Wiggins became the first Briton to win the Tour de France before claiming time trial gold at a home Olympic Games, while more than 200,000 new cyclists haven taken to the roads in the past 12 months, according to British Cycling.

But Plymouth-born Tiernan-Locke, who led Great Britain at September's World Road Race Championships in the Netherlands, believes domestic racing needs a shake-up from top to bottom if it is to take advantage of cycling's new-found popularity.
"It needs far more than a boost," added Tiernan-Locke. "I think a lot of people have got their head in the sand and, in my mind, it's totally disconnected to the success of Team Sky, the young riders who have found their way onto other WorldTour teams, and teams like NetApp-Endura [who have gained Pro Continental status for 2013].
"It's totally disconnected from the domestic scene. All those guys have got results in European races or have come up through the track."
Premier Calendar race organisers continue to face the logistical and financial barriers which have long suffocated the domestic racing scene and two races, the Tour Doon Hame and Dengie Marshes Tour, have paid the price having been removed from the series in 2013.
"The Premier Calendar [organisers] are almost apologising for holding a bike race," said Tiernan-Locke.
"It's not their fault because there's legislation about racing on the roads, and stupid rules like the fact you can't put up a gantry because you can't get a double decker bus through it, so you've got two men and a dog watching it at the end, and no-one wants to watch it on television.
"It's a bit of a mess really and it's not down to one thing. The whole thing needs looking at. So while we've got a good national tour and the [RideLondon] legacy event next year, the amateur racing like you've got in France is just not part of the culture and I can't see any way round it.
"I don't think British Cycling have the resources and it's not just up to them. It has to be a collaborative effort between the police, the local authority – I know the cost is ridiculous just to close the street for a crit – and then you've got to have the race where people are, and to have a finishing circuit in town centres so you can get some sponsorship money. It's all these things."

The shooting continues as paratroopers advance into Glenfada Park, a quiet cul-de-sac in the Bogside.
Jim Wray (22) was on the ground, wounded and paralysed by the first burst of fire, when a paratrooper shot him in the back from point blank range.
Gerald Donaghey (17) and Gerard McKinney (35) were shot dead in Abbey Park, both killed by the same high-calibre rifle bullet.
Patrick Doherty (31) was killed in Joseph Place as he crawled towards safety.
Bernard McGuigan (41), ignoring warnings for his own safety, waved a white handkerchief and tried to get to the dying Patrick Doherty. He was shot in the head and died instantly.
Father-of-six Bernard McGuigan was shot in the head as attempted to help a dying man. In the background lies the body of 17 year-old Hugh Gilmour.
During the twenty minutes of concentrated British fire, the OIRA fired three ineffectual shots in response.

The SynchronizationContext (SC) is a vital component for the ASP.NET request lifecycle and it is strictly coupled to the HttpContext. In the previous posts we saw how running asynchronous operations by using specific TPL patterns might lead to losing the SynchronizationContext and, thus, reference to the HttpContext.
Such a behavior can impact applications in several ways, both directly (e.g. tasks failing due to null references when accessing the HttpContext or one of its fields) and indirectly (e.g. faults in external libraries).
Before jumping to the summary and conclusions, I owe you an answer to the challenge from the previous post.
configureAwait set to false causes the SC to stop flowing starting from the very first await operation. This yields into a definitive loss of the SC, which is then unavailable both in the awaited task and in the awaiter context once it resumes the execution.
tsFromSyncContext set to true, instead, proved to be useful to persist the SC on the awaited task.
This is the output we get when running the application with both flags enabled.
Notice the second await operation (the one calling Task.Factory.StartNew) fails. The error message is somewhat cryptic. However if we speculate on what the consequences of calling ConfigureAwait(false) on the awaiter context are, we should understand the SC is lost once the execution is returned to the controller context. Therefore, when the second await operation is invoked and tries to post the newly created task against the current SC, the operation simply can't happen as there is no SC available any more.
If you followed me thus far, this example should point out how delicate this whole system could be and how the TPL primitives could be challenging to handle and lead to unexpected behaviors.
Why awaiting on Task.Run (or other primitives like Task.Factory.StartNew) does not persist the SC while awaiting on a custom async method does?
Why if we force the awaiter to use the SynchronizationContextTakScheduler we don't face this problem?
Avoiding primitive TPL APIs might just not be a feasible option. How can we deal with this situation and instrument a workaround?
Let's try to address them one by one.
Why awaiting on Task.Run does not persist the SC while awaiting a custom async method does?
// available, so we call the parameterless overload.
The Capture method, invoked with the IgnoreSyncCtx flag, does exactly what we would expect. It skips capturing the SC, suppressing its flow.
Guess what? The framework doesn't let user-defined async methods to follow this very same path and simply lets the SC flow.
What this actually means is if in our code we simply run await on DoStuff, the SC never gets lost.
Why if we force the awaiter to use the SynchronizationContextTakScheduler we don't lose the SC?
This question also needs some internals lookup.
The SyncrhonizationContextTaskScheduler exposes a queueing mechanism that posts the work items against the currently captured SC. In this way, the SC keeps flowing and it is persisted.
// Run LongRunning tasks on their own dedicated thread.
// Normal handling for non-LongRunning tasks.
Eventually if we just cannot get rid of calling Task.Run, what can we do?
The best option is to plan for stateless asynchronous operations. If you think about it, the great advantage of async/await is to offload background operations and allow the request to keep on executing in the meantime. Making those tasks stateless not only solves the potential problem of losing the HttpContext, but it also makes the web application more robust in case a background operation fails.
Odds of a ASP.NET request really needing to await on a purely stateless operation are not many and should let you think twice whether background operations are worth to be made asynchronous at all, given they would still have to be awaited for the request to complete.
Last but not least if you are thinking of porting your web app on microservices for great scaling and orchestration (e.g. deploying it on a Azure Service Fabric cluster), stateless agents performing specific, request-agnostic tasks can be much easier to implement.
That said, there might be situations where going stateless is not possible or easily achievable. Similarly there certainly are scenarios where an ASP.NET request should await on an async operation.
Unfortunately, this approach might not fit all the situations too. For instance what if Task.Run is used in an external library?
In such a scenario, there is actually one an additional "trick" we can use. The caveat is to await on a wrapper task, that manually posts the actual awaitable operation against the SC.
To grasp how this works a little better, let's see it applied to our very first example using the Context action of the Home controller.
If we were to use this approach with the Index action instead and get the full verbose output, we would see the SC being of type AspNetSynchronizationContext and the task scheduler of type ThreadPoolTaskScheduler.
Why is that? Simply because the "posting" against the SC is not piloted by the task scheduler in this case, but it is manually requested. In other words, we are explicitly taking care of what the AspNetSynchronizationContextTaskScheduler would do for us!
I know, this whole story is kind of endless and can get seriously confusing at times. However, I hope this posts contains enough insight to let you understand the basic inner workings between the TPL and the ASP.NET HttpContext.
As already stressed out, I believe a code sample is worth more than a thousand words. Although the demo web app I used is not at all complicated and it is fairly easy to setup, I will soon update this post to include the link to my GitHub repo project, so you can just clone it and mess around with it!
One final word to thank all the people who actively contirbute to this blog. I am humbled and impressed by receiving your feedback and I appreciate your efforts in highlighting possible mistakes or confused explanations! Also, thanks in advance to the ones who I am sure will be helping in the future too!
Catch you on the flipside!
It was very helpful in order to understand this. In fact i was frustrated to figure out why HttpContext.Current was resulting in null in async await approach when we use Task.Run().


A Victorian-era embossed wall covering that has been around since 1887, Anaglypta offers textured and raised wallpaper designs. Because of Anaglypta's durability, it makes a practical choice for active families and stain-making kids. Originally made from wood pulp and cotton, today Anaglypta wallpaper comes in vinyl and paper-textured paintable versions. As with any major home decor project, hanging Anaglypta requires your full attention. Get the kids out the house and decorate in peace and quiet so you can focus all your concentration on the task.
Sand the walls with 100-grit sandpaper to remove any excess flaking paint or plaster to ensure the surface is even. Wipe the walls with a dry cloth to get rid of the dust.
Mix together 1 part flake adhesive and 1 part cold water in a bucket. Apply a thin layer of this mixture to the walls using a wide natural-bristled paintbrush. This step seals the wall. Leave it to dry for at least 24 hours.
Calculate the width of the wallpaper using the tape measure. With the tape measure and pencil, start from the left corner of the wall working right to mark a point the width of the wallpaper. Hold the level vertical on the wall at the pencil mark to make a line down its edge once the bubble in the vial at the top of the level stays between the two lines. Continue the line down the wall using the pencil and level. This line is your guide to ensure the first length of wallpaper hangs straight.
Measure the height of the wall with a tape measure. Place the Anaglypta on a table face down. Cut a length of wallpaper that exceeds the height of the wall by at least 4 inches. This offers room for trimming at the top or bottom when lining up the wallpaper straight on the wall.
Cover the length of wallpaper on its backside with wallpaper adhesive using the brush. Ensure that you distribute the adhesive evenly across the entire backside of the wallpaper all the way to the edges.
Apply the wallpaper to the wall, lining up its top edge against or just above the ceiling joint and right edge with the guideline on the wall. Use a wallpaper brush to apply light pressure to ensure it is firmly in place. Squeeze air bubbles to the wallpaper's edge. Remove wrinkles while the adhesive is still wet. Remove excess wallpaper adhesive from the front of the paper using a sponge dampened in clean water.
Apply subsequent lengths of wallpaper, ensuring they do not overlap. Cut pieces to match up the patterns in the wallpaper.
Cut off the excess wallpaper from the ceiling, floors and corners using a utility knife.
Allow the wallpaper to dry for at least 24 hours.
Buy about 10 percent more wallpaper than you need to account for pattern matching and errors.
To achieve a straight edge on your first piece of wallpaper, you may have to extend a bit of wallpaper past the ceiling or baseboard.
Measure and cut additional wallpaper sections by matching the pattern on the wall first.
Anaglypta can be painted over if you want to change the color of your walls.
Allow the wallpaper to dry naturally. Turn off the furnace to ensure it cures properly if you work in the winter.

The author, Roberta Lacefield, and her husband downsized their possessions in order to live comfortably in their small space.
The Lacefields also added a porch to the front of the house and a mudroom to the back.
We started with an older-model manufactured home. It gave us a place to live as we decided what else we needed. We liked the idea that we were "recycling."
We purchased this used manufactured home and then remodeled and added on as we had time. Though it has worked well for us, it has been a hard home to live in because the perception in this country is that anyone who lives in a manufactured home is actually "trailer trash." We prefer to think that we live in a recycled home that allows us to keep a very small footprint on the Earth. However, sometimes I do wish we had a fancy home with many rooms (that we would have to use energy to heat/cool and only use occasionally) because our homes are so much a part of the way we judge each other in our country. It truly is tough to rise above all that.
Our one-bed, one-bath manufactured home cost $7,500, including delivery and the heat/AC pump. Setup cost us about $500. We changed out the windows (to double-hung, double-pane), added a porch on the front made of wood that we milled on our Wood-Mizer sawmill, and put a mudroom on the back made primarily from salvaged materials. Our total cost was under $10,000.
Our home is 750 square feet. It is a single-wide that is only 52 feet long. It is small but my husband reminds me to envision living on a boat. If you make every space count and get rid of your "junk," 750 square feet is actually a lot of room for two people — especially in a warm climate where so much of our time is spent outside.
We had a professional team level the home on the site and skirt it. A professional connected the heat/AC. We did all the other work. Today, I added an electrical outlet to the peninsula countertop. It is amazing how a little thing like that can make a small space so much more convenient.
We actually had no obstacles with the mobile home, especially compared with a site-built cabin we have on the river in the same county, which was a huge pain with many obstacles. This surprised me because the mobile home was used. I expected to have to bring some things up to code (especially because of our experience with the other property), but the inspector really didn't seem to care. Just plug it in and go!
I'm not sure we would do it again. Even though we live in a community that values conservation, there is such a strong stigma against "trailers" that I feel I have to justify and apologize for our choice. Also, there is something that simply does not feel quite "grounded" about a manufactured home — I miss that solid foundation that comes with site-built. Finally, because of our space limitations, I had to make some tough decisions on some furniture to which I had an emotional attachment. On the other hand, our land taxes this year are $30. That is mighty hard to beat! We do get to celebrate all the way to the bank.
Decide how important other people's opinions are to you. If you can handle the stigma, there are some strong upsides to a manufactured home.
I think it's a great way to live especially since you seem to be happy and well rounded so what if someone Else doesn't like it do they have to live in it No they Don't!! So whatever you want to live in and however you want to live is your business & No one else's You Know !! Really If You Want To Live In a Straw Hut It Would Be Your Decision You Know.Now If You Were Hurting Someone I Could Understand The Concern But Your Not So Live and Laugh All The Way To The Bank!! Enjoy Life Live Love and Laugh as Much As Possible Okay !!! Sincerely Yours F.J.B.
Don't know where this home is situated, which state/county, but there are untold number of mobile homes propped up on conventional house foundations, which then get stucco-ed outside and/or otherwise made completely house-like. Exterior trims around windows and doors, concrete steps and landings with railing, etc. can very well erase the"trailer" impression. I know this because I'm a manufactured home (a.k.a. mobile home) community manager for longer than 20+ years. It is still not too late for a great makeover for Roberta and family.
Ron and David, Both of you have excellent visions. I wish I had your circumstances. I just wonder... have you condidered gray water to irrigate, clivus multrums for the shitter, water source is what?
I have opted to sell my house in the city of Edmonton to develop two acres in rural Alberta to become mortgage free as well. I found a 1984 1180 sq ft 16x74 mobile with three bedrooms and two bathrooms for $17,000. I plan to put in a full basement and upgrade with new siding, windows, french doors a deck and put an overhang across the south facing side for summer shade with an array of solar panels as the roof. This will look like a nice ranch home when it is all done. And I will be mortgage free with free water and power on this little hobby farm for my family.
There is a stigma that comes with living in a mobile/manufactured home, but it all comes down to "who decides your worth?". We moved from a two story home with a full basement to a 14'X70" home with an in-law suite built on the back which my son and his wife live in. With banks not wanting to finance single-wide, it makes it easy to find a used one at a great price. We have a beautiful screened in front porch, a productive garden, apple and pear trees, blueberries galore and chickens. Life has become so much more simple and satisfying. Before I worked and was gone all the time and still couldn't afford the organic fruits and vegetables we desired on our dinner plate. Now, we enjoy those fresh from the garden. Blueberry pancakes anyone? I just picked a mess of 'em!

Polsky Launches New Program to Support University Alumni and Entrepreneurs Around the World
Published on Friday, September 27, 2019
First Polsky Global Forum Sessions Held in Hong Kong and London
In an effort to expand support for University of Chicago alumni around the world, the Polsky Center launched a program called the Polsky Global Forum. These day-long events are designed to bring the Polsky Center's entrepreneurship education abroad and provide alumni with the opportunity to learn from Chicago Booth faculty in a 'back to the classroom' setting.
The inaugural Polsky Global Forum, focused on Launching a Venture, was held on July 27 at The Hong Kong Jockey Club University of Chicago Academic Complex | The University of Chicago Francis and Rose Yuen Campus in Hong Kong. The session featured two educational sessions on the topics of customer discovery and entrepreneurial selling, taught by Polsky's executive director Starr Marcello, AM '04, MBA '17; a fireside chat between Jay Schrankler, the new head of the Polsky Center, and serial alumni entrepreneur, Franck Benhamou, MBA '90; and a session on the startup landscape in Hong Kong presented by Pritish Sanyal of AngelHub.
40 participants gathered at The Hong Kong Jockey Club University of Chicago Academic Complex | The University of Chicago Francis and Rose Yuen Campus in Hong Kong for the Polsky Global Forum on July 27, 2019.
The second Polsky Global Forum was held on September 13 at the Chicago Booth campus in London. The event focused on Angel Investing,and participants had the opportunity to test their knowledge through an interactive investment simulation. The Forum in London included an 'Angel Investment 101' presentation facilitated by Cornel Chiriac, MBA '12 of the Chicago Booth Angels Network (CBAN) and a special session on impact investing led by Gordon Eichhorst, MBA '97 of Resurgo Ventures. Attendees heard from industry and investment professionals during the afternoon panels to learn about investment opportunities in energy transition and fintech.
The day-long program concluded with the inaugural University of Chicago Alumni Entrepreneur Demo Day, featuring six alumni-founded startups that are currently in the process of fundraising in the region. These include Cyberfishing, Jobhawk, MobieTrain, Spatium, VTX Partners, and WhiteLab Genomics. This marks the first time the Polsky Center has run a demo day for alumni-founded companies outside the U.S.

Digital microfluidic meter-on-chip†

The accurate monitoring and control of liquid flow at low flow rates have become increasingly important in contemporary biomedical research and industrial monitoring. Inspired by the drop-counting principle implemented in a clinical gravity drip, we propose a novel microfluidic flowmetry technology for polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based conventional microfluidic devices, known as a microfluidic digital meter-on-chip (DMC), to achieve on-chip and localized microflow measurements with ultrahigh precision and a wide tunable range. The DMC technology primarily relies on capillarity, unlike a gravity drip, to induce a characteristic interfacial droplet pinch-off process, from which digital microflowmetry devices can discretize continuous flow into countable transferred liquid units with consistent quantifiable volumes. Enabled by the passive discretization principle and optical transparency, the DMC device requires no external energy input or bulky control equipment, and a non-contact wireless optical detection scheme using a smartphone can be conveniently used as a readout module. Moreover, the DMC technology achieves an ultrahigh flow-to-frequency sensitivity (6.59 Hz (μL min−1)−1) and resolution (droplet transfer volume down to 2.5 nL, nearly two orders of magnitude smaller than in previously reported work, resulting in ultralow flow rates of 1 μL min−1). In addition, the flow rate measurement range covers up to 80 μL min−1 and down to at least 150 nL min−1 (over 100 times lower than reported similar digital flowmetry on the same time scale) using the current device configuration. Benefiting from its simple device architecture and adaptability, the versatile DMC technology can be seamlessly integrated with various microfluidic and nanofluidic devices for drug delivery and biochemical analysis, serving as a promising technology platform for next-generation highly demanding microflow measurements.

Ruebs was een notabele familie in Brugge, die heel wat leden aan het stadsbestuur leverde, onder wie er drie burgemeester van de schepenen werden.

Geschiedenis
De familie Ruebs was hoofdzakelijk een groep van handelaars en makelaars, met onder meer als activiteit de invoer en handel in wijnen. Men vond onder hen:
 Ambrosius Ruebs in 1465.
 Antonius Ruebs in 1433.
 Jacob Ruebs in 1422.
 Jan Ruebs in 1410.
 Joris Ruebs in 1416.
 Joris II Ruebs in 1442.
 Lieven Ruebs in 1442.

Gerard Ruebs
Gerard Ruebs, vijfmaal burgemeester van de schepenen, was ongetwijfeld de belangrijkste politicus in de familie. Zijn ambten binnen het stadsbestuur verliepen als volgt:
 1412-1413: raadslid
 1414-1415: schepen
 1416-1417: thesaurier
 1419-1420: burgemeester van de schepenen
 1423-1424: burgemeester van de raadsleden
 1426-1427: schepen
 1429-1430: burgemeester van de schepenen
 1434-1435: burgemeester van de schepenen
 1446-1447: burgemeester van de schepenen
 1449-1450: burgemeester van de schepenen
 1456-1457: eerste raadslid.

In 1436, tijdens de opstand tegen Filips de Goede werd het gevaarlijk voor stadsbestuurders van wie werd verondersteld dat ze de kant van de hertog kozen. Verschillende onder hen verloren het leven op gewelddadige wijze. Gerard Ruebs en waarschijnlijk ook Joris, kozen zekerheid en ontvluchtten Brugge om zich onder de bescherming van de hertog te stellen. Dat werd door de tegenstanders zeer slecht opgepakt en als vergelding werd de woning van Ruebs met de hele inhoud (waaronder zijn hele voorraad van wel 300 stukken wijn, want hij was wijnhandelaar) grondig vernield. Pas tien jaar later zou Gerard opnieuw tot de top van de Brugse stadsbestuurders gaan behoren, dankzij de niet-aflatende steun van het Bourgondische hof.

Joris Ruebs
Joris Ruebs volgde een loopbaan in het stadsbestuur, zowel in het kielzog als in parallel met Jan en met Gerard Ruebs, als volgt:
 1415-1416: schepen
 1417-1418: schepen
 1419-1420: thesaurier
 1422-1423: thesaurier
 1425-1426: thesaurier
 1428-1429: raadslid
 1430-1431: burgemeester van de schepenen
 1433-1434: eerste raadslid
 1435-1436: burgemeester van de raadsleden
 1439-1440: raadslid en in de loop van het mandaat burgemeester van de raadsleden
 1445-1446: eerste schepen
 1447-1448: eerste raadslid
 1451-1452: burgemeester van de schepenen en overleden in de loop van dit mandaat.

Ook Joris Ruebs had te lijden onder de opstand tegen al wie de zijde van Filips de Goede had gekozen. Hij kon echter al in 1439 weer op bescheiden wijze raadslid van de stad worden. Na enkele maanden werd hij onverwacht burgemeester van de raadsleden, omdat de titularis plots overleden was. In 1451 volgde hij Joost Honin en Gerard Ruebs op als burgemeester van de schepenen, maar na enkele maanden overleed hij eveneens.

Jan Ruebs
 Jan Ruebs, was burgemeester van de schepenen in 1418-1419.

Andere leden  van de familie Ruebs
 Jacob Ruebs, zoon van Joris
 1419-1420: hoofdman van het Sint-Donaassestendeel
 1422-1423: raadslid
 1424-1425: raadslid
 1425-1426: raadslid
 Victor Ruebs
 1434: hoofdman van het Sint-Niklaassestendeel
 1442: raadslid
 1458: raadslid
 1459: hoofdman van het Carmerssestendeel
 Lieven Ruebs
 1434: raadslid.
 1453: schepen
 1455: schepen
 1459: schepen.
Tijdens de opstand van 1436 werd Lieven Ruebs gevangen genomen en ontsnapte hij ternauwernood aan executie. Pas heel wat jaren later stapte hij opnieuw in het stadsbestuur.
 Antonius Ruebs zoon van Joris
 1462: raadslid
 Ambrosius Ruebs, forestier van het gezelschap van de Witte Beer
 1466: schepen
 1468: schepen
 1470: schepen
 1473: schepen.

A top investigator at Judicial Watch is warning…
All, Bill of Rights, Constitution, Current Events, Globalism, Oath Keepers
failed state, Judicial Watch, warning
By Dan Lyman 10-19-2017
A top investigator at Judicial Watch is warning that the United States is teetering on the verge of becoming a failed state, due to a virtually unaccountable federal government and profoundly corrupt deep state entity at its heart.
Chris Farrell, Director of Investigations and Research at the watchdog group, addressed the explosive developments and revelations pouring forth regarding the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton's State Department and Eric Holder's Department of Justice and their deep collaboration with the Russian government and business entities.
"We've gone so far beyond the pale – as a country, we have slid off the edge," Farrell said. "It's [the deep state] really a giant socialist organ operating, that protects itself – you see offense after offense, and you find out that laws are for the little people, the Clinton gang walks away."
"People said, 'Hey, where's the Department of Justice investigation? Where's the FBI?' Half of the time, they're complicit."
Farrell addressed the dangerous nature of the on-going 'Russian collusion' witch hunt targeting the Trump administration, as it is essentially an inversion of justice that should have been exacted upon Obama administration officials, who have been embroiled in a scandal of epic proportions via the sale of 20% of US uranium to Russia in a deal involving mass-scale bribery and money laundering – and likely more serious crimes such as espionage and treason, which the Sessions DOJ is now reportedly investigating.
"This is evidence that we are becoming a failed state, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that," Farrell said. "We have a paralyzed Justice Department and FBI, we have key leaders either unwilling to do anything or they themselves are personally compromised – these are all symptoms or evidence of a failed state. That's where we're going, and we're doing it fast."
"This level of corruption… this is not an exaggeration – we are at the edge of becoming a failed state because there is no real accountability, there are no consequences, and the general public sees this. They know what's going on."
Sources are predicting a possible upcoming Wikileaks document dump that could put more nails in the Clinton coffin, revealing further evidence of Hillary's deep ties to Russia and her involvement in election rigging – not President Trump.

Draining The Swamp – Part 2If you watch one thing today, let it be this.
Charlie BROWN says:
I guess this is what I mean Shorty, will they wake up soon enough and then have the guts to do anything?
Exactly. This is the reason why the US Constitution REQUIRED a Militia of the several states to be the ones to
— Enforce the US Constitution (supreme Law of this nation that all other legislation is required to be in Pursuance thereof in order to be Lawful) and each state's Constitution (hihgest Law of the state except in the rare instances of conflict),
— Enforce and keep the "Laws of the Union" (which are constitutional laws ONLY),
— Protect the country against all enemies both domestic and foreign, and
— "to suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions".
By that requirement all other agencies, people, groups, contractors, etc are FORBIDDEN to do those things. Accountability in government is supposed to reside with the people, and enforced by the Militia. All governmental enforcement listed in the above list is required to done ONLY by the people themselves as the Militia – trained as the Congress requires the military to be trained, and educated in the US Constitution and their own state's Constitution because those are the ONLY things that is a supreme and high commander for the Militia. That does not mean that the Militia is to take DIRECT orders from the US President or state Governor, they are. But ALL orders and actions MUST be weighed against the US Constitution and state Constitutions (when applicable) before any implementation or action is taken. If the required implementation or action is not in Pursuance thereof the US Constitution it is REQUIRED to be refused. (Read the US Constitution and the debates, etc)
Richard Henry Lee: "Whereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them; nor does it follow from this, that all promiscuously must go into actual service on every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true republicans are for carefully guarding against it." (1788, Initiator of the Declaration of Independence, and member of the first Senate, which passed the Bill of Rights)
George Washington: "It may be laid down, as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every citizen who enjoys the protection of a free government…, but even of his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." ("Sentiments on a Peace Establishment", letter to Alexander Hamilton; "The Writings of George Washington")
This refusal requirement is to be taken by all who serve within our government – LE, military, civil employees, etc – when an action is not in Pursuance thereof the US Constitution. It matters not what branch, what office, what agency, what contractor, etc that you work for, if it is a government job or duty, then all involved are required to take the Oath and to KEEP IT.
Then regarding the stifling of speech of the whistle blowers, etc; that too is NOT a power that was delegated to those who SERVE WITHIN our government.
John Adams: "Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have a right… and a desire to know; but besides this, they have a right, and indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the characters and conduct of their rulers." (A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law (1765))
Patrick Henry, American colonial revolutionary: "The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them."
Mark Twain: "For in a Republic, who is "the country?" Is it the Government which is for the moment in the saddle? Why, the Government is merely a servant – merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them."
Archibald Maclaine said during North Carolina's ratifying convention: "If Congress should make a law beyond the powers and the spirit of the Constitution, should we not say to Congress, 'You have no authority to make this law. There are limits beyond which you cannot go. You cannot exceed the power prescribed by the Constitution. You are amenable to us for your conduct. This act is unconstitutional. We will disregard it, and punish you for the attempt.'"
Alexander Hamilton, Federalist 33: "…If the federal government should overpass the just bounds of its authority and make a tyrannical use of its powers, the people, whose creature it is, must appeal to the standard [The Constitution] they have formed, and take such measures to redress the injury done to the Constitution as the exigency may suggest and prudence justify…."
Patrick Henry, Virginia Convention, 1788: "You are not to inquire how your trade may be increased, nor how you are to become a great and powerful people, but how your liberties can be secured; for liberty ought to be the direct end of your government." (as quoted by Thomas M. Moneure, Jr., in "Virginia's Great Dissenters", printed in the March, 1999, issue of American Guardian, pp 38-40)
Justice William O. Douglas, dissenting, Colten v. Kentucky, 407 U.S. 104 (1972): "Since when have we Americans been expected to bow submissively to authority and speak with awe and reverence to those who represent us? The constitutional theory is that we the people are the sovereigns, the state and federal officials only our agents. We who have the final word can speak softly or angrily. We can seek to challenge and annoy, as we need not stay docile and quiet."
This is exactly WHY the framers required the people themselves torain as the Militia, educate themselves in the US Constitution and their own state's Constitution, so that accountability of those that serve is NOT held in the same hands as those that need to be held accountable for their actions.
anti-tyrant says:
Oh dang… if the Feds collapse, who's going to arrest me for all my victimless crimes?
ElevatedAmoeba says:
Well, half the country is fine with the left getting away with everything. They have no moral code, so the ends justifies the means. Our government, schools, cities, states…authority positions have been filled with communists and islamists, and those who have come here from other countries are more comfortable with that type of government than our own. Nothing will come of any investigation toward the left. Witnesses die, evidence is lost, "intentions" are called good, timelines are coincidence, on and on. Then the public gets blamed for this all happening for how they voted. Well, wolf one or two. That's the choice we keep having. Trump was our last hope to keep the Republic, and the swamp has swallowed him.
When your government and judges are infiltrated while you work and tend to your life, don't blame us for having no control over our government. Even the good guys up there in government can't change it.
So in the end, the clintons and all the rest will be exonerated so they have a clean bill of health for 2018. The whole "investigation" is a sham designed just for this.

Q: Change window title for ActivePivot Live I want to change the window title for ActivePivot Live, so that users having multiple Live instances open, can better find the right one.
I've tried calling Window.setTitle from my GinBootstrappers.afterApplicationLoaded method, but that seems to only show for a second or less, before being changed back to "ActivePivot Live"

A: Found my own answer.
GinBootstrapper.APPLICATION_NAME is public and not final,
so in my Bootstrapper, I can simply add this line to the constructor:
APPLICATION_NAME = "My Application Name";

A: The window title is set by the application and it is not possible to change it.
