Ultimate Guide to Cyber Security Bootcamps
Inside This Article
By Lauren Stewart
You're probably familiar with the term "hacking," but do you really understand the importance of cyber security? Did you know that by 2019, it's projected that globally we'll need 6 million security professionals, but we'll be short by 1.5 million? Cyber security is comprised of technologies and practices to protect networks, computers, software programs, and data from attack, damage, or unauthorized access. The need for technical security talent is increasing and Security Bootcamps are launching to fill this void. If you're deciding on which coding bootcamp route to take, and you're interested in learning cyber security, there are a few things to consider (and we've listed where you can learn these skills!) Check out our Ultimate Guide to Cyber Security Bootcamps.
The Current Cyber Security Landscape
Job opportunities are constantly growing for information security and cyber security professionals. In order to decrease barriers to this tech profession, we're starting to see more cybersecurity bootcamps help fill the tech talent skills gap.
Threats to our cyber networks are on the rise as cyber crime is predicted to cost the world $6 trillion annually by 2021. As a result of these threats, the cyber security market is expected to grow annually by 9.8%, up from $74.4 billion in spending in 2015 to an estimated $170 billion by 2020. Since 2013, the number of information security incidents and data breaches have increased by 70% and 242% respectively. Many of these attacks (62%) were targeted at small to medium-sized businesses which simply didn't understand the consequences of not taking cyber security seriously.
In addition to understanding the need for security tech talent based on the market, you should also be aware that this demand for skills is greater than supply. Job postings for cybersecurity roles increased by 91% from 2010-2014, compared to just 28% for all IT positions. Currently, 84% of cyber security job postings call for a bachelor's degree, 83% require at least 3 years of experience, and 35% of jobs call for industry certification such as the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) or CompTIA Security+ certifications. While this may be the case, employers are now turning to alternative tech education methods such as bootcamps and technology trade schools to meet their hiring needs. With projections of a shortfall of 1.5 million security talent, it's safe to say that learning security skills will ensure that you'll always be in-demand. If you're interested in learning more about the industry as a whole, check out this directory of Info Security Conferences to meet people in the field.
Job Roles: What does a career in security look like?
According to US News & World Report, Information Security Analyst was ranked as the #8 best job in technology in 2015, making an average wage of $90,120. It's important to keep in mind that when moving up the career ladder in security, salary ranges will rise. The average 2016 U.S. security professional salary ranges are as follows:
Data Security Analyst ($114k-$160k) Analysts need to know every aspect of computer and network security, especially firewall administration, encryption, and network protocols. CISSP certification is definitely an asset.
Systems Security Administrator ($106k-$150k) This role requires technical knowledge of data systems security protocol and hardware and software systems. You'll also want to keep abreast of security trends and government regulations.
Network Security Administrator ($103K-$147k) You will need a strong technical background with knowledge of network management protocols, networking architecture, authentication practices, and security administration.
Network Security Engineer ($110K-$153K) This role must translate security policies and procedures into technical architectures, while having insight on how to install, monitor, and maintain network security solutions.
Information Systems Security Manager ($130k-$182k) You'll need a technical background along with strong communication and leadership skills. It's expected to have five or more years of security experience with industry certifications CISSP or CompTIA Security+.
Chief Security Officer ($140k-$223k) Once you reach the top, you will have over 10 years of security experience and in-depth knowledge of ever changing business functions. This role requires excellent judgment and planning to maintain complex security systems.
Security Bootcamps: What are my options?
Most security bootcamps are not for complete tech newbies– so if you've never coded before, you should consider general full-stack coding bootcamps before setting your eyes on cyber security. We'd also recommend taking additional Information Security (InfoSec) classes as the security industry involves more than just coding. The majority of security bootcamps require one to two years of IT systems or development experience, with a general understanding of networking. Applicants must be proficient in a scripting language like Ruby, Javascript, Python, or Perl and should be familiar with common operating systems like Windows and Linux. Many in this field have a bachelor's degree in computer science, programming, or engineering and previous networking certification. After attending a security bootcamp, students can expect to land entry-level positions like Information (IT) Security Analyst, Cybersecurity Analyst, and Security Sales Engineer.
We're excited to see the growth in cyber security education via the bootcamp model. Here's a list of the best cyber security bootcamps ready to teach you top skills needed to ward off those hackers:

Western Kentucky 69, MTSU 53: Blue Raiders' shooting woes continue
Never posing a serious threat to Western Kentucky, the Blue Raiders dropped their eighth straight game.
Western Kentucky 69, MTSU 53: Blue Raiders' shooting woes continue Never posing a serious threat to Western Kentucky, the Blue Raiders dropped their eighth straight game. Check out this story on dnj.com: https://www.dnj.com/story/sports/college/mtsu/2020/01/11/mtsu-basketball-shooting-woes-continue-loss-hilltoppers/2816635001/
Joseph Spears, Murfreesboro Daily News Journal Published 8:40 p.m. CT Jan. 11, 2020 | Updated 8:50 p.m. CT Jan. 11, 2020
As the final seconds ticked off the clock, all Middle Tennessee State coach Nick McDevitt could do was stand and watch.
What McDevitt watched over the course of 40 minutes was a microcosm of what seems all too familiar to this season's group. Missed open shots, turnovers, poor defense, out-hustled on the glass. You name it, it happened against Western Kentucky.
When the final buzzer sounded on Western Kentucky's 69-53 win over MTSU on Saturday, McDevitt and his team were left with more questions than answers as they plummeted further toward the bottom of the conference.
"We just weren't good enough, especially in the first half, to win that game," McDevitt said. "I thought we were out of sorts on the offensive end and then had a few defensive breakdowns that led to easy baskets. When you give those up, good teams are going to score those and put a massive amount of pressure on your offense."
The loss to the Hilltoppers (10-6, 3-1 Conference USA) marked the eighth straight game that the Blue Raiders (4-13, 0-4) lost and dropped them to 1-13 against Division I opponents.
Here are some other takeaways from the game.
A first half to forget
At one point in the first half, MTSU trailed by only a point.
Down 13-7, the Blue Raiders rattled off five straight points to cut the Western Kentucky lead to one.
Western Kentucky countered MTSU's run with a 21-2 run of its own to take control of the game. During that stretch, MTSU was just 1-of-12 from the floor while Western Kentucky hit all eight shot attempts it put up.
MTSU ended the half shooting just 32.1% from the floor and turned the ball over nine times. On the other side, Western Kentucky connected on 64% of its shots.
Finding offensive presence
Prior to the Marshall game Thursday, McDevitt said that he liked the shots that the Blue Raiders were getting; it was just a matter of making them. MTSU entered the night ranked eighth in C-USA in scoring offense (71.9 ppg) and 11th in field-goal percentage (.427)
The issues that MTSU has faced all season were only magnified against the Hilltoppers as the Blue Raiders couldn't get anything to fall. They connected on only 35.8% of their shots, were 6-of-24 from the 3-point line and turned the ball over 18 times.
In four conference games, MTSU is averaging 62.5 points per game and hitting just 38% of its shots.
Women's basketball: Western Kentucky 71, MTSU 63
In a back-and-forth affair through all four quarters, Western Kentucky (10-5, 2-2 C-USA) jumped out to a nine-point lead early in the fourth quarter and held onto that lead for the 71-63 win over the Lady Raiders (10-6, 2-2).
Raneem Elgedawy was a matchup nightmare for MTSU as the 6-foot-4 forward recorded a double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Aislynn Hayes led MTSU with 18 points.

Security tech firms hit jackpot in Asia casino boom
By Stephen Coates, Farah Master
SYDNEY/HONG KONG (Reuters) - Asia's new mega-casinos are driving sales and innovation in advanced surveillance technology, from chips with built-in radio transmitters to high-definition, multi-lens, digital cameras that can scan huge gaming floors and catch the deftest sleight of hand.

Security solution providers such as German-Australian joint venture Dallmeier International, California-based Pelco, a unit of Schneider Electric PA, and Samsung Techwin Co Ltd, about 25 percent-owned by Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, are among those reaping the benefits of Asia's casino building boom.
Tens of thousands of security cameras, including some of the most advanced commercially available, have been installed in the southern Chinese territory of Macau alone in the past five years, and many thousands more are on order for the multi-billion-dollar hotel-casino resorts still in the pipeline.
"It's big business. The camera market here has started to get very big ... It's probably the most demanding environment for a video surveillance system anywhere in the world," said Craig Graham, Dallmeier International general manager for Asia.
"Some of these guys (casino operators) have 700 tables and up to 1,000 slot machines, all of which have to be monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
Graham said Dallmeier had about 20 percent of the video surveillance market in Macau's gaming industry, where its clients include Sands China Ltd, a subsidiary of Las Vegas Sands Corp and one of six casino firms licensed to operate in the only place in China where casinos are legal.
There are around 100,000 cameras installed in Macau's casinos, according to industry estimates, with room potentially for another 50,000 over the next five years. Companies declined to say how much the industry was worth.
"It's allowed firms such as ours who deal with cutting-edge surveillance technology and video analytics to gain a good loyal customer base in Macau," Graham said.
Bob Ruggles, Pelco's Asia-Pacific business development manager based in Macau, said Asian demand had "allowed us to push our products to the limit" of innovation.
In contrast, he said casinos in Las Vegas had been slow to adapt to advances in digital technology, and some were still using VCR tape, in part because of the costs associated with replacing old analogue systems. "No one (in Macau) uses analogue anymore. Those days are gone," he said.
SOMETHING UP THEIR SLEEVES
Over the past decade, Macau's casino boom has transformed the former Portuguese colony - once known for its triad-riddled gambling dens - into a global gaming centre boasting annual revenues of about $40 billion, six times those of Las Vegas.
China's economic liberalisation and the growth in private wealth have spawned casino mini-hubs in the Philippines and Singapore, all supported by high-rolling Chinese players who think nothing of betting hundreds of thousands of dollars on a single hand of baccarat.
The more money that flows through Asia's casinos, the more determined the cheats become - probing for signs of weakness and vulnerability, and sometimes all it takes for them is some off-the-shelf gadgetry or inside help.
Police arrested a casino pit manager and junket employee in Macau in May after surveillance video allegedly caught them rigging a card shoe at a baccarat table in a VIP room. In August, police arrested a croupier and five suspected conmen from Taiwan after watching the dealer pay out more chips than gamblers were entitled to during his shift. And this month, police arrested two local female dealers after staff monitoring CCTV caught them pocketing two gaming chips worth HK$100,000 ($12,900) from a casino on Macau's Peninsula.
Two years ago, in the Philippines, a gang was caught using micro-cameras hidden up their sleeves to film the shuffle and relay the footage to accomplices who in turn informed them how to play.
"Thieves have become more sophisticated," said Joe Pisano, chief executive of Jade Entertainment and Gaming Technologies, a Manila-based provider of gaming technologies. Even so, he said new security measures were making life tougher for the cheats.
"Now, with everything being electronic, there is probably a lot less (fraud) than 20 years ago, when you could have used a metal bar and a light to get coins to drop out of the slot machine," Pisano said.
MACAU BENCHMARK
Facial recognition technology is at the vanguard of the newest surveillance systems, allowing casinos to spot known troublemakers whose names they share with each other and the authorities. But the software needed to reliably identify people is in its infancy and some companies are unwilling to take the risk of mistaking law-abiding customers for cheats.
"It's just not worth it," said one Macau casino executive, adding that visitor traffic at some of the bigger casinos could overwhelm the software.
Casino operators are reluctant to risk new surveillance technology until its reliability is proven, due to the costs involved in shutting down VIP tables or alienating wealthy players. This can make it difficult for new entrants to the industry, or those without a strong track record.
That said, none of the casino operators want to fall behind either, even though the latest security technology is very expensive, the executive said. "Everybody keeps up to date with all the improvements so we're not lagging behind in any way. Obviously, with new properties you go with the better product, the upgraded version," he said, asking not to be named so as not to reveal his establishment's security capabilities.
Another evolving trend is the matching of video with object tracking and other data about players and staff to highlight situations that may not be obvious on raw footage. Within a year or two, people in the industry believe data analysis tools will be able to track the behaviour and motions of dealers to spot any deviations from normal procedure, and alert managers accordingly.
"Before, you used to have people walking around in the ceiling looking through one-way glass. With the new mega-casinos here (in Macau) the technology needs to be more intuitive," said Dallmeier's Graham.
Casino operators elsewhere in Asia look to Macau as the benchmark in security technology.
"Ours is really built around an international or Macau standard, at the very least," a casino executive in the Philippines told Reuters. "We know there is a group of players that like to victimise newly opened casinos."

From Red Dragon
Red Dragon Tells Harris with Little Flavour
Red Dragon. 2002. Directed by Brett Ratner. Screenplay by Ted Tally; based on the novel Red Dragon by Thomas Harris.
Starring Anthony Hopkins, Edward Norton, Ralph Fiennes, Harvey Keitel, Emily Watson, Mary-Louise Parker, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Anthony Heald, Ken Leung, Frankie Faison, and Tyler Patrick Jones.
Universal Pictures.
Rated R. 124 minutes.
★★★1/2
I'm a big fan of Thomas Harris and his Hannibal Lecter-centric novels. Everything about them appeals to me, though, I'm not particularly fond of Hannibal Rising. My favourite, an unpopular view, is actually Hannibal – I think it's an intensely savage, relentless piece of work with a wild twist at the end. But close by equally are Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs. The Jonathan Demme version of the former is one of the best movies ever made.
In opposition, I've got to say that I prefer Michael Mann's Manhunter over this version. Regardless of how well this sticks to the story in comparison, I still love the way Mann treated that adaptation; incredibly different and cool.
Part of why I'm not huge on Red Dragon, even though it's a good movie, is because I don't really find Brett Ratner all that interesting as a director. I can honestly say this is the only movie he's directed I genuinely enjoy. Everything else he's done is so ridiculously generic. There's nothing I find appealing about his work. I think the only reason he succeeded in making me enjoy his work here is because Thomas Harris provided the backdrop. Plus, Edward Norton, Ralph Fiennes, Harvey Kietel, Emily Watson, Anthony Hopkins, Philip Seymour Hoffman, a returning Anthony Heald and Frankie Faison – could it really have gone terribly wrong?
While I do like this movie, I don't think there's anything overtly incredible other than the performances. Ratner is a mediocre director at best, in my mind; plenty of people love him, I have no doubt. He is a successful man. Just not my cup of tea. Overall, the lack of a really palpable style is the only thing I find truly lacking about Red Dragon. The reason I loved Manhunter so much was because, aside from the excellent William Petersen and Tom Noonan performances, Mann injected the story with so much of his style that it came off so interesting and beautiful to watch. With this version, Ratner merely shows it to us. It looks good enough, but I don't feel as much of the story as I do while reading Harris, or when I watch other incarnations of Hannibal Lecter on television and film.
I've always thought the opening scene to Red Dragon showing Hannibal Lecter (Sir Anthony Hopkins) watching the orchestra was an impressive way to show why he kills. Part of him hates rudeness, another part of him also love the finer things of life – anyone who gets in the way of that is subject to being on his plate, as well as the plates of his dinner guests. With this sequence, we're introduced to a piece of Lecter then also Will Graham (Edward Norton) shows up.
So it works in two ways, by both introducing Hannibal – though we've already seen him plenty on film – and simultaneously introducing his relationship with Graham. It's an effective opener which draws us in immediately. Even more than that, the script starting from the beginning sets itself apart from Michael Mann's Manhunter; I don't know if you'd call this a remake, or more so simply another adaptation of Thomas Harris' Red Dragon. It's an exciting, intense, and very wide opening in scope.
Being a fan of Edward Norton, he's honestly one of the weakest links in this film. I think he has the potential to be a great actor, but some times he just looks to be phoning things in. There are moments in Red Dragon when he does excellent stuff. Other times he might as well be toeing a hole in the sand with his shoe. The character of Will Graham is complex. I think William Petersen brought something to the role in his own way, certainly Hugh Dancy has done a fantastic job with the 39 episodes of the NBC series, but Norton sort of feels generic here in the role. He's not bad, I don't mean to say that. There's definitely a likability about Norton's Graham, what I feel like I'm missing is the tortured side, the apprehensive man who doesn't want to have to go back into what Jack Crawford (here played by Harvey Keitel) is asking him to do; something which nearly killed him before with Lecter. In Norton's performance there doesn't seem to be as much of that wary Graham, the one whose mental capacities allow him to feel and understand things no one ought to ever feel or comprehend.
I do always enjoy Sir Anthony Hopkins, particularly as Hannibal the Cannibal. He has a highly quirky charm and chill at once. Some say it's overacting, I say it's an excellent fictional serial killer who has an odd affectation. It's silly to me people will accept Hannibal and all his cannibalism, all the wild stuff he's gotten up to over the course of his character-lifetime, yet then they've got a problem with how Hopkins is a bit hammy at times. Really? You're going for that?
The only thing bad about Hopkins here is the fact I don't really think he and Norton have much chemistry together onscreen. Their scenes are decent enough because Lecter is always creepy, but the back and forth between Hannibal and Will here is nowhere near as good as it was between Hannibal and Clarice in The Silence of the Lambs, and certainly doesn't come close to touching the Hugh Dancy-Mads Mikkelsen energy in Bryan Fuller's Hannibal series. It just doesn't work as well as any of that, so it comes nowhere near some of what Harris did either. I think, again, this mostly has to do with Norton. He's a fine actor, just not in this movie. There's nothing impressive to me about his performance here, as say opposed to American History X or his debut performance opposite Richard Gere in Primal Fear.
Ralph Fiennes is the actor who shines most of all in this good yet slightly dull version of Red Dragon. Francis Dolarhyde has always been a morbidly fascinating character, to me and to many out there. Even if Red Dragon is not my top favourite of Harris' novels – though still amazing – there's something about Dolarhyde in particular, even above Buffalo Bill, which terrifies me. Fiennes is one talented man beyond a shadow of a doubt. Here he brings a ferocious intensity to the role.
While it's easy nowadays to forget this great performance due to Richard Armitage's fabulously involving turn as Francis Dolarhyde on NBC's Hannibal, Fiennes still knocks this role out of the park and into the lot. There's a difference between Fiennes and the other incarnations, just as they're unique in their own ways. What I like about Fiennes is that I find him highly unpredictable. He's the type of actor who doesn't telegraph his emotionality, he sort of springs into action so suddenly, which really comes through here. Truly, every single frame of the film in which you find Ralph Fiennes he is incredible. There's a physical aspect to the character on several levels – he's physically fit and actually a handsome guy, but inside he feels hideous, deformed, and like a monster. So what I enjoy is the fact that Fiennes is an attractive man, however, the makeup work for Dolarhyde's hairlip gives him an unsettling feeling – not because of the scar, merely because of how Fiennes portrays Dolarhyde and the way he feels about his outer appearance. He's at times equally sad and sympathetic, and also frighteningly savage.
Still, my favourite moment with Dolarhyde has to be his official introduction, a little over 40 minutes into the film. It's such an unsettling view into his world, where we see him lifting weights and yelling at his dead grandmother whose voice scolds him – as a child and still as a grown man. Even creepier is the way he opens his big scrapbook, full of articles about Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham – it's when he sort of strokes Lecter's picture, specifically his smiling mouth, that you get this awful feeling in your gut. What an effective first look at Francis Dolarhyde here. Impressive sequence from Ratner, I must say.
While I don't find the movie to be poorly written, by any standards, for some reason I do not get the same feeling about Ted Tally's script here as I did with his work on The Silence of the Lambs. Not sure exactly what it is about this screenplay, there's not the same impact as his previous adaptation of Harris' work. I do like plenty of scenes, but there's less tension and suspense than in the Jonathan Demme directed film. Now, I've never actually read the script itself, so maybe there's bits and pieces of Tally and his writing which didn't make it through to what Ratner did onscreen. I'll not know until I read the screenplay someday. But still, there's an overall lack of the tensely cultivated atmosphere from Demme's 1991 Harris adaptation, and I think there must be part of the problem there lying in the screenwriting. Then again, I'm not particularly big on Tally overall, as nothing else he's done particularly impresses me other than The Silence of the Lambs.
In the end, I can only give Brett Ratner's Red Dragon 3.5 out of 5 stars. I know some will surely call me crazy. It's not as simple for me to say this is an amazing movie. It's just… not. Better than average? Sure. There are great performances, from Anthony Hopkins, Ralph Fiennes, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Emily Watson both of whom I forgot to mention – she does a fantastic job playing the role of Reba McClane, the blind woman who falls in love with Dolarhyde. Even further, the story itself is good enough to carry this even if the actors weren't so great.
But the lack of style, a few little mistakes here and there, as well as a bit of a yawning performance from Edward Norton, all makes it hard for me to even feign agreement when people say this is SO AMAZING. I remember seeing this in theatre – I was so pumped, beyond excitement. It didn't live up to the hype then, it still doesn't now. I do own this on DVD, because I'm a completist; even own Hannibal Rising which isn't the greatest either. I just really can't get onboard with people saying this is incredible or that it's better than Manhunter. Nah, not for me.
Still a decent adaptation of the Thomas Harris novel, Red Dragon is a good movie. Don't think it's better than it is, there are plenty of flaws and not enough style to Ratner's direction to forgive them. See it and be your own judge, but do not get sucked into the hype. There are better visions of Will Graham, Hannibal Lecter, Jack Crawford, and Francis Dolarhyde elsewhere.

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED! I shouldn't have to put this here, but people whine and complain. Why are you looking if you haven't seen yet? This is a review, it's bound to contain spoilers. GET OFF THE INTERNET!
Will: "He ate a painting"
Jack: "He ate it!?"
Will: "He ate it up"
Now the hunt is on. With only two episodes left after this one, "…And the Beast from the Sea" has started off directly after Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Francis Dolarhyde (Richard Armitage) had their brief meeting at the end of last episode.
Will: "Jack Crawford, fisher of men. Watching my cork move against the current. You got me, again."
Francis: "The Dragon has never spoken to me before. It was frightening."
Hannibal: "What did it say?"
Francis: "It called my name. It wants her."
Hannibal: "If it weren't for the power of your becoming, if it weren't for the Dragon you could never have had her."
We're seeing the vengeance in Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) come out of him. He has found a new friend, one who embraces him without the need for law, justice, or order. Someone else amongst the chaos of life and abroad the ocean of murder upon which they've both set sail. Lecter and Dolarhyde are kindred spirits. Will has scorned Hannibal; two heterosexual lovers, one turned away ultimately by his empathetic need to help, the other stuck in a muddy world of intellectualism and cannibalism.
The naughty doctor does one of his naughtiest deeds yet. Over the phone with Dolaryhde, he says the unthinkable.
Lecter: "Save yourself. Kill them all."
Armitage continually proves he has the chops. Incredible actor. Not only is the physicality he's bringing to the role of Francis Dolarhyde marvellous, the gentle and quiet way in which he portrays the madness of Dolarhyde is a revelation. Again, as I've said before, I love both Tom Noonan and Ralph Fiennes in their respective performances – Manhunter and Red Dragon – however, it's Armitage who is able to bring the full scope of emotions, the density of the torment and suffering inside the character into our eyes right before us.
Scenes with Francis and Reba (Rutina Wesley) are very tense in this episode. Dolarhyde, in a scene familiar to many, watches some 'homework', as Reba lays in his lap drinking with him. All the while, Francis is watching footage of his possible next victims: through the frame walks Molly Graham (Nina Arianda). DAMN! Not that I wasn't expecting it, but still – chilling, to say the least.
Slowly, it looks as if we're seeing the Great Red Dragon head towards Graham and his family. Ominous and very terrifying. First, the dogs are sick. Though the doc tells Molly and her son it's possibly due to the Chinese dog food she's feeding them while Will is away, I know it's Dolarhyde. He's watching them, he takes care of the pets before moving in, and that's just a part of the system.
As Molly leaves the vet, there's a warning sign from the FBI on a bulletin board. Unfortunately, Mrs. Graham is not thinking about any of this. We watch on helplessly.
Will: "He's contacted you"
Hannibal: "How do you imagine he's contacted me? Personal ads? Writing notes of admiration on toilet paper?"
Constantly there are wonderful nods from Bryan Fuller & Co. to the source material. Those familiar with Red Dragon will remember these bits as they pour in. Excellent little bites of Thomas Harris coming out the woodwork.
In the scene where Will heads back to visit Lecter, there's so much animosity between the two which works up more and more every episode. They have an even better repartee now that Hannibal is the rejected lover type. Such a saucy and angrily ignorant Hannibal! Mads is also a revelation. I love that Armitage fans have come to the series, but don't forget: both Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy have been putting in consistently nuanced performances since the start of Season 1.
Hannibal: "They're not my family, Will. And I'm not letting them die – you are."
Another familiar image crops up in maybe one of the most intense scenes ever on Hannibal. Tom Noonan had the whole creepy pantyhose thing going on over the top half of his face in Michael Mann's Manhunter, and as Francis Dolarhyde makes his way into the home of Will and Molly Graham, where she and her son are sleeping alone, he has a similar style thing happening – teeth grimly apparent, stocking-like hat drawn down to his nose.
Such a creepy look for Dolarhyde. He looks just downright horrifying here, stalking around quietly over the property looking for the Grahams. It is incredibly tense, I can't get over how much I was biting my lip during this scene!
Afterwards, as Molly escapes, Dolarhyde lets rip a gruesome scream "NO" into the air, his haggard teeth in full view. As if the Great Red Dragon were bellowing up and out of his guts.
What I find most interesting about this whole angle is that now it's not only the FBI work affecting Will himself, the madness is spreading out from him and touching his new family. Molly takes a bullet, in what looks like her shoulder. Poor Will shows up at the hospital where Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) is waiting with Molly's son.
Amazing scene between Will and his adopted son. Incredibly moving to see Graham and the boy together; he asks about Will and his time in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Tough, rough stuff, and it's a well-written, well-adapted scene from the work of Harris. More of the ongoing adaptation I love so much.
Wally: "You shouldn't put this guy in a mental hospital. You should kill him."
Smarty pants, one of my favourites, Dr. Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) has figured out that Hannibal hasn't been on the phone talking with his lawyer as of late. She's a sly one. Not only that, Jack Crawford shows up much to the chagrin and simultaneous pleasure of Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Though, the naughty doc is peacocking like a real saucy serial killer. He has this strut when Jack walks in, as if he's holding every last card in his palm. Love the way Mads pulls off the classic character with his own way of doing things. Helps to separate himself from Anthony Hopkins, whom I also love. It's just that Mads is another beast entirely; incredible performer.
Alana: "Would you have told me the truth?"
Hannibal: "In my own way, I always have."
In this amazing episode, we actually see a physical fight between Francis and the Dragon. We get little bits of him fighting the fictional image of the Dragon, juxtaposed with the reality: he is beating the life out of himself. Dolarhyde beats himself bloody onto the floor. One of my favourites thus far including Armitage.
There's a bunch of excellent imagery in this episode concerning the Dragon. Over and over, we see it. More and more, the Dragon wants Reba. Though, dear ole D is trying his hardest to suppress the desire to let the Great Red Dragon emerge. This is perfectly shown in their fight together, cutting back and forth between his vision of the Dragon and what's truly happening – the battle within himself.
Another scene with Dolarhyde and Reba is impeccably done: she touches him over the lip, running her finger over his most maligned physical feature in his own mind. There's an acceptance, but Francis tells her he's afraid he will hurt her, that they cannot continue on. This hurts Reba, naturally, but something dark all of a sudden appears across his face. He's basically watching the only good thing in his life be left behind, walking away from their relationship. Dolarhyde will now, no doubt, spiral downward further into the clutches of the beast within.
Francis: "How do you know it's dark?"
Reba: "The lights aren't on"
Francis: "Do you remember – the light? Is it worse to have seen it and lost it?"
Reba: "I know I can never have the light. But there are things I can have."
More Hannibal and Francis bonding time now, except Dr. Bloom and Jack Crawford are listening in. While the two eavesdropping hope to hear something, Hannibal abruptly tells him they're listening. I actually dropped my jaw! It was an awesomely devilish moment that I'd not seen coming. What I imagined happening was that Hannibal would stay silent and soon Francis would soon come to understand something was not right. However, Lecter shuts it all down in an instant. He loves it, too. He loves to see Jack get frustrated.
Francis: "Do you know how easily she will tear?"
Finally – FINALLY! We get to see Dr. Lecter in a version of the iconic mask put on Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs. He's being held in stasis, as Alana has everything stripped bare. It looks as if those privileges Lecter had are quickly going out the window. More and more, the sweet adaptation continues with recognizable scenes twisted into something slightly new. Dig it.
Will: "I'm just about worn out with you crazy sons a' bitches"
Hannibal: "The essence of the worst in the human spirit is not found in the crazy sons a' bitches. Ugliness is found in the faces of the crowd."
Will: "What did you say to him?"
Hannibal: "Save yourself, kill them all. Then I gave him your home address. How's the wife?"
The wear and tear of dealing with Hannibal is breaking the seams at the edges of Graham's existence. When he goes to see Hannibal, the bad doctor helps him realize that Dolarhyde did not murder the families, "he changed them". This is an excellent closing scene to another fantastic episode. Will is really starting to get angry and we're seeing a different side of him now: a clear, angry Graham. So many times before, he has either been too forgiving with Hannibal, or too damaged by encephalitis and people not believing him to effectively do anything. Now, I'm wondering where Will is headed after this intense episode.
Hannibal: "When you look at her now, what do you see?"
Will: "You know what I see"
Tune in next week with me, as the penultimate episode of Hannibal's swan song airs – "The Number of the Beast is 666". We're about to see an amazing send off to this series, one of the greatest television has ever seen I predict. Because these two final episodes are going to get serious – Will Graham is not happy, Hannibal Lecter is in a corner, and the Great Red Dragon keeps on becoming.
Stay strong, my fellow Fannibals! Keep trying to #SaveHannibal

Now that Jeremy and Justin have turned animal spawning back on will slimes spawn underground?
I don't think so, I believe the slime is not a friendly animal.


Check out this awesome new collaboration between Ebbets Field and Super7, a classic "authentic vintage" Baseball Boy baseball jersey inspired by the San Francisco Giants! Each jersey was individually handmade with authentic 1950s era baseball wool flannel by Ebbets Field in Seattle. The Super7 jersey, available in cream or grey, features an embroidered Baseball Boy mascot patch on the front left chest, a custom number "7" felt appliqué on the back, felt "SF" letters on the right sleeve (for San Francisco naturally), the "Super7" script logo embroidered on the left sleeve, and orange with black trim.
Ebbets Field has been handcrafting beautiful mid-century inspired athletic garments since 1988, and this is their second killer collab with the fine folks at Super7. The Baseball Boy Ebbets Field Vintage Jersey is available now at the S7 online store and both of the Super7 San Francisco stores for $250.

006-0033 Appomattox Court House
Photo credit: Cameron Davidson/CameronDavidson.com, 2010
See link(s) below to view additional documentation.
At this remote settlement, after four years of fighting, Gen. Robert E. Lee, his retreat blocked, surrendered his army to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865. Lee's capitulation in effect ended the Civil War. The two commanders met in the home of Wilmer McLean where Lee accepted Grant's surrender terms. After the surrender and the removal of the county seat, the village almost vanished. The courthouse was destroyed, and the McLean house was taken down for exhibition at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. The village was restored as a historic shrine by the National Park Service and important lost buildings were reconstructed. The Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, including some 900 acres of battlefield, has since been maintained as a memorial to the moment that reunited the nation.
As of 2015, the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park encompasses 1,775-acres and includes a re-created 19th-century town. The district includes resources associated with the April 9, 1865, Battle of Appomattox Court House and the subsequent surrender of Confederate Army General Robert E. Lee to Union Army General Ulysses S. Grant and a series of late 19th- to early 20th-century monuments commemorating the site. Since the 1989 nomination, the boundaries of the historic district have increased, warranting the 2015 updated nomination form. This registration form also updates the areas of significance and extends the period of significance to incorporate the restorations and reconstructions that were undertaken by the National Park Service between 1940 and 1968 to recreate the historic landscape of the rural courthouse village as it appeared in April 1865.

2015 Boundary Increase and Update Nomination


Constantly refreshing and improving itself, Darüşşafaka continues to play an important role in the development of social and cultural life in Turkey. One of these areas of development is sports.
Incorporating Darüşşafaka Ayhan Şahenk Arena which hosts international-standard sports activities as well as universal arts & cultural events, Darüşşafaka Schools saw in its early years various games and sports activities such as the capturing game, pull-up, parallel bar, handball -a game that resembles volleyball but covers a larger pitch, and running with fire-extinguisher pumps etc.
Darüşşafaka's first acquaintance with soccer dates back to the years when soccer was first played in Turkey. After one of the first representatives of soccer in Turkey, the Galatasaray High School partially burnt down, part of the boarding students of the school were hosted at Darüşşafaka. The guest Galatasaray students' game of soccer at Darüşşafaka's schoolyard was also adopted by Darüşşafaka students.
The imminent figure of the Turkish history of education, Satı Bey (Syria Counselor of Education) was appointed to Darüşşafaka as principal in 1913. With the assistance of instructors who just came back from Europe, Satı Bey implemented considerable innovations in sports, as in all other areas. He had an indoor sports venue constructed and gave way to sports events. Therefore, a brand new period has started at the school where it had been forbidden even to run. With the pioneering efforts of the physical education instructor Kalkay Sami Bey, individual sports such as track, athletic sports, wrestling and boxing were supported while soccer teams named "Saadet" (Prosperity), "Gayret" (Effort), "Harika" (Wonder), and "Küçük Darüşşafakalılar" (Little Darüşşafaker) were established. Subsequently, the Darüşşafaka Club that is comprised of the best players of classes and groups started playing games with Süleymaniye, Vefa, Şehremini, and İmalâtı Harbiye (now Ankaragücü) clubs at Yeni Bahçe Çayırı (now Vatan Street). As these clubs competed each week, the matches were considered more official in time.
On the letterheads, subscription receipts and the seal of Darüşşafaka Physical Education Club, the year 1330 (Julian Calendar; corresponds to 1914) accompanies the club's name. Therefore, the year 1914 was registered as the year of foundation for Darüşşafaka Sports Club through the Turkish Alliance of Training Associations. Yet it is a known fact that the club was active inside the school in 1908 under the name "Sebat" (Tenacity).
Playing soccer and volleyball in its early years, Darüşşafaka Sports Club obtained considerable achievement among sports clubs such as Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray and Beşiktaş. The club announced its basketball branch on 4 June 1951 and made substantial moves in basketball. The championship acquired among Istanbul's high schools in 1950-1951 and the success in following years, along with the U16 championship in basketball caused the Club to attach more focus to the branch of basketball. Darüşşafaka came in the 4th place in Istanbul in 1957-58, 1958-59 and 1960-61 seasons; the 3rd in Istanbul in 1961-62, and became the "Champion of Istanbul" in 1959-60 and the "Turkish Champion of Basketball" in 1960-61 and 1961-62, two years in a row. The team also won the "Özdemir Tuncer Cup" three times in a row in 1958, 1959 and 1960. In the European Tour in 1959, the team acquired the second place in Belgium. In 1962, Darüşşafaka Basketball Team became the first Turkish team to rise to quarter finals in a European Cup and had its name inscribed in the Turkish sports history. Darüşşafaka raised countless players and coaches for the Turkish basketball and the Turkish national team.
Obtaining substantial success in its first years of foundation, Darüşşafaka Volleyball Team became the "champion of second division" and advanced to Istanbul League 1. Darüşşafaka Volleyball Team became the "Champion of Istanbul" for the first time in 1959, then the "Champion of Turkey" in 1960. The team was the first Turkish team to join European Cups.
Founded in 1914, Darüşşafaka Sports Club raised many players for Turkish national soccer, basketball and volleyball teams.
The Club also established in 2001-2002 season the Junior Basketball Team squad for students born not before 1991 to consolidate the future of basketball even further. By picking Darüşşafaka students in particular, the Club reinforces the Club-School collaboration. A role-model and a school in basketball, Darüşşafaka Sports Club carries the all-time mission to sports and represents a symbol of the equal opportunity principle in sports.
Darüşşafaka Sports Club, constantly keeping its ties strong and vivid with the school, encourages Darüşşafaka students to play sports in various branches with the Club's license.
Darüşşafaka Sports Club is in cooperation with Doğuş Group since 2013. In 2013, Darüşşafaka Society and Darüşşafaka Sports Club allied with Doğuş Inc. in an attempt to drive Darüşşafaka Male Basketball Teams to success under the name "Darüşşafaka-Doğuş" while preserving the traditional green-black colors of Darüşşafaka Sports Club, form promising teams with a sports understanding based on "fair play", ensure participation of Darüşşafaka students in infrastructure activities carried out as part of this new structure, invite Doğuş fans -within the context of social responsibility project- to make donations for covering the academic expenses of Darüşşafaka students, and ensure modernization of Darüşşafaka Ayhan Şahenk Sports Arena upon renovations. To this end, cooperation protocols with a term of 15+10 (optional) years have been signed.
As a strong team, Darüşşafaka Doğuş became Champions in 2014 and moved up to the Turkish first division. The year later, Darüşşafaka Doğuş began competing in the Turkish Airlines Euroleague and in 2017 reached the Euroleague Playoffs. These developments provided new inspiring horizons to children playing sports in Darüşşafaka.
In 2013, Darüşşafaka Chess Team was established by the Club with the aim of achieving inspiring success in this branch which has a strong tradition in the school. The team, in which Darüşşafaka students and graduates also take part, became Champions and moved up to the Turkish first division in its first year, and to the Super League in the fourth season.
Darüşşafaka Basketball Team has its home court since 1995 at Darüşşafaka Ayhan Şahenk Arena located in Darüşşafaka Schools Campus in Maslak, Istanbul. With a spectator capacity of 3500, the sports venue can be utilized by all Darüşşafaka students limitlessly and for free.

Q: Setting my Display Resolution I'm a C# developer and I have to change my display resolution regularly.
There are plenty of examples on how to read the current display resolutions:
SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize
I found the ChangeDisplaySettingsEx Function
Is the only way to do this in C# is with PInvoke???
It seems odd to me that it is very easy to get this information out, but difficult to set it...

A: You'll have to make a PInvoke call to ChangedisplaySetting.
Here's a link that has some sample code, http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/printthread.php?t=73184.

A: I also recommend that you check out Jared Parsons PInvoke Toolkit. You can download it here:
http://www.codeplex.com/clrinterop/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=14120
It makes adding pinvoke signatures to your code a breeze. It doesn't always pick the right interop types, but it's usually pretty close, and even if you have to make some changes its still usually quicker than translating everything by hand.

A: Simple answer: Yes.
You should use PInvoke.

Chain link fence installation is quite simple, and is among the most pursued fence suggestions for big grounds and gardens. Wood is among the absolute most favorite materials used to produce fences. Paint the entire fence in one definite color, according to what your yard and the exterior of your house appears like.
Maybe things will acquire weird. You may even let your husband help if you'd like. A good way to decorate your house without feeling like you've got to spend an excessive amount of money is giving the things you already have a makeover since you bought them in the very first place as you liked them.
Second, it is helpful to keep the region around your house cool. Now the outside is not the same story. A house free of look or character is only a house, not a home.

HomeNEWSCan human influencers be replaced by virtual ones?
Can human influencers be replaced by virtual ones?
by: Hemma Vara
A new shift in digital capabilities has created a new phenomena: virtual avatars. These digital personas are being used by big brands wanting to give customers a personalised customer services experience, so they can chat and identify with an individual. These personas are increasingly lifelike, to the extent that customers are slowly becoming more at ease with them – and perhaps even forgetting that they're not real. Now that they're starting to be used for more than just customer services, these avatars' artificiality can offer real benefits for brands that might be finding the human frailty of real-life social media influencers challenging.
Influencer marketing is a form of digital advertising which relies on high profile individuals or influencers to convey particular messages through the influencer's social media channels. The influencer is deemed high-profile purely because of their following or popularity via their social media channels. The underlying goal behind influencer marketing is to create brand awareness and impact the purchasing decisions of a brand's target market, who are potential customers.

On this basis, brands may be concerned that their target market won't be able to have a real connection with these virtual beings, like they do with humans. People look up to influencers because they're aspirational. On the other hand, social media users are probably savvy enough to appreciate that influencer marketing isn't entirely genuine, as behind the scenes a commercial transaction has taken place. So if a virtual influencer has a strong following made up of that brand's target market, then why not?

From reviewing the captions on Miquela's Instagram posts, her "voice" is witty, educated and offers opinions. Whoever is behind the posts is carefully curating content designed to capture the attention of her 1.5 million strong audience, and they're certainly doing well. Brands that deal with Miquela have the added bonus that she has been created for the purpose of attracting sponsorship. With careful management, Miquela is unlikely to say anything that will attract controversy and tarnish the brand's name – there would be no reason to do so. The same cannot be said for a number of real-life humans who have lost brand endorsements based on things they have said or done, including Kate Moss and Michael Phelps for use of drugs.

While the Miquela character is 19 years old, behind her is a team of business savvy minds who will ensure the AI sticks to the terms and conditions of any influencer agreement the business wielding it enters into. Brands often have trouble monitoring and controlling the actions of influencers, particularly in New Zealand where the influencer scene is largely immature. It is evident from business groups on Facebook that a number of local brand owners have trouble dealing with influencers who are sent product in exchange for endorsements but fail to deliver, as well as influencers who misrepresent their engagement stats and/or buy fake followers.

Interestingly, social media platform Instagram has indicated its support for virtual influencers by verifying some accounts with the coveted blue tick. Surely then, Instagram sees virtual influencers as part of the future framework of social media influencing, rather than a threat to the influencer industry.
All in all, if businesses are already going to lengths to stage scenes and scripts for influencers to use, why use a real person? And if their consumers don't care, then it doesn't matter. It seems that virtual influencers are as real as they can be, and they're not going anywhere.

Q11 Chapter 16
Chapter 16 On the First Fullmoon Snowy Night
The horses were galloping at full speed. The cold wind was whistling in the ears as the noise steadily faded away. Gradually you were only able to hear the sound of the horseshoes landing on the terrain. The tiny red horse was small, but it was a fine breed , Its running potential was like a lightning,so it couldn't be stopped . Chu Qiao's pair of small hands tightly clutched the horse's mane, lying low on the horse back, calmly viewing the surrounding terrain, her small head was figuring out a way to solve this situation.
Jing Yue'er's petite body was not strong enough to withstand such rapid running or the pain of falling off therefore,she had to find another way to escape.
At that time, suddenly a sound of rapid hoofs came from behind her, quickly catching up with Chu Qiao ,the two were riding in parallel while running.
"You beg me, I will save you!"
A youth's voice was blown by the cold wind and broken, but still it intermittently spread into the ears of Chu Qiao. She turned to see a white-like face, fiercely staring at her with a sense of schadenfreude. She gave him a very tenacious look and wasn't the least bit startled in this situation.
"Then you tell me what you mean by that gesture, I'll save you!"
The night wind was dreary and cold as a knife. The pony dashed inside a snowy area, making its legs sink into it up to its knee while running. Bit by bit its speed slowed down, but it still didn't have any attentions of stopping. Seeing an opportunity, Chu Qiao swiftly loosened her hands, then palmed the horses in the back and with her whole body she quickly jumped toward the side of the boy.
Puff, her body fluttered into the youth's body and he cried out in shock, hurriedly moving his horse, but it was too late. The impact had made them fall from the dark horse, rolling on the soft snow , several times at the same time that the dark horse without consciousness, continued to desperately chase the little red horse from behind until they both disappeared through the darkness.
"Jifeng!" cried Yan Xun anxiously,eyebrows erected .He had no time to slap the snow, but he staggering pursued them for two steps, but only in vain.
"You, these pair of horses will probably come back to the city once they are done. Returning to the household but now since even the owner is ignorant enough to fall of the horse, what is your use?" Chu Qiao got up from the ground, dusted the snow off her gown, looked herself up and down to see no injuries, very good.
Yan Xun turned back fiercely staring at Chu Qiao. He spoke angrily, "Jifeng was a gift my father recently offered me, it only followed me less than half a month. It is not familiar with this area, so how will it know its way back? Boldly making me let go of my horse, do you know your sin?
Chu Qiao gave him a look of disdain and said, "I did not call you to follow me, your horse can not see his owner is gone, what can I do?
"How dare you talk to me like that?"
Chu Qiao frowned, contemptuously glancing at this young crown prince. Coldly grunted, before turning ,walking towards the direction of Zhen Huang City.
Yan Xun did not think she would just leave. Surprised, he quickly caught up with her in the first few steps,: "Where are you going?"
"Of course, I'm going back. It is still the night, right?"
The snowy area was very thick, even the shallow places were over the knee of Chu Qiao and the deep place were almost over the child's thigh. Yan Xun walked at the side of Chu Qiao, seeing her struggling,his heart that was heavy over his horse was suddenly serene. He was now smiling on the side,. surprisingly, just a few steps away, a tragedy happened. Under the pine tree he did not have a chance to call out, his whole body sunk abruptly.
She heard the noise, and realized that the matter was not good. Almost at the same time, the child instinctively reached out and grabbed the arm of Yan Xun, but unfortunately the weight of Yan Xun with Jing'er small body could not bear the weight.With a bang, the two fell together in a big snow hole.
"Ug…. hey are you okay?" Yan Xun said emerging from the snow. Looking around himself lightly, and saw a small white hand ,he immediately pulled her out like a carrot. She shook her head then he said, "You didn't die, right?"
"Let go." Chu Qiao was depressed frowning. She slightly moved her foot but it hurt. She suddenly wrinkled her brow increasingly tightening.
Yan Xun was somewhat worried "You are hurt?"
"I won't die."Chu Qiao looked up to see the height who was not very important, turned to Yan Xun and let out, "Can you climb it? "
Yan Xun measured the distance with his eye, then shook his head and said, "The snow here is soft. If the ground was flat I could jump up, but not here,it would solely make this hole deeper and deeper.
"We will be froze to death at the day" ,murmured Chu Qiao , she got up et spoke: "You will step on my shoulder first to climb, and then find someone to save me."
Yan Xun shook his head: "I'll send you first, you find someone to save me."
Chu Qiao was surprised for a moment, looking Yan Xun up and down then nodded and said, "Good. "
Using a lot of strength, when Chu Qiao finally saw the full moon in the sky, she thought about the frailty of life and death. Taking a breath on the snow, she sat up and looked back and down at Yan Xun, "You wait, I'll go to call people."
Yan Xun smiling waved: "Go, quickly!"
Her ankle was in pain. It seemed to have twist when they fell. Chu Qiao reluctantly walked a few steps, and suddenly an idea popped up. She unconsciously stopped, her eyes slightly narrowed, while the cold was at her back.
If she turned away, in this remote wilderness, Yan Xun tonight, would die, then, she would have her revenge, right? Thinking of the first day here, the hunting field of those cross-rows of blood, sharp arrows, young bodies, Chu Qiao's heart started to beat fast. Although the murders of that day were mostly thanks to those two Zhao brothers, although Yan Shi Zi's arrows were mostly inserted in the wolf's body, although he and the Zhuge's brothers laughed at the woman's benevolence, though, he is so….
She stood there in the wilderness, pale with her dark as ink eyes sparkling.
Bang bang, a dead tree was thrown into the snow cave at once, almost hitting the head of Yan Xun. Chu Qiao yet did not appear. Yan Xun yelled out with an angry voice, "You want to kill people ah!"
Chu Qiao eyed him superciliously, "If I wanted to kill you, I would not use so much effort, quickly come up."
Yan Xun movements were agile. He quickly climbed up. Observed Chu Qiao up and down then with his eyes and mouth pulled out a smile, "I thought you would put down this evil person, turn around and speed away."
Chu Qiao looked at him coldly: "I only blame myself for not being cruel hearted."
Yan Xun truly laughed at that. He took a few steps and went in front of her. Bending his waist slightly he declared, "Come, since you are not cruel hearted, as a reward I will carry you back."
Chu Qiao puzzled looked at him up and down (TN: they love looking at each other up and down) and said, "So you are willing to do something shameful?"
"This prince is in a good mood."
Chu Qiao no longer spoke so Yan Xun thought she was reluctant to do it when he suddenly felt a soft small body on his back.
White frost and snow reflected of them. Yan Xun, for the first time in his life, felt somewhat awkward. He restlessly twisted at two points, Chu Qiao tightened her white and tender little hand, against his neck and snapped a bit: "Honestly, I will fall. "
Yan Xun was surprised for a moment. Well, he was surprised a lot to be honest as he carried Chu Qiao slowly walking through the wilderness.
"Hey, do you know how much longer we have to go?"
Yue'er calmly replied, "Less than a stick of incense. We should be back within an hour."
Yan Xun nodded: "You are called Xing?"
"Last time on the cliff, it was said by the maidservant you framed."
Yan Shizi tonight's mood seemed very good. Seeing Chu Qiao not talking he continued to ask, "What's your given name? What's your surname?"
Chu Qiao gently hummed "Why should I tell you?"
"Do not say that," Yan Xun humming said: "I do not want to listen to it, sooner or later one day, you will cry for me."
"Then you will have to wait patiently for that day."
Yan Xun frown, "You are a child, how can you speak in such a self-important tone?
She curled her lips on his back with disdain, " You are not big, why do you use methods that are so ruthless and cruel?"
Yan Xun stunned, then smiled and said: "My God, you really bear a grudge."
Yue'er 's voice was a little bit bleak,cold, and indifferent, "You do not hold a grudge, because it was not you that those arrows were pointing at.
Wind blowing whistling, Yan Xun suddenly felt a little cold, opening his mouth wanting to refute, but finally he did not say anything.Those who he believed for many years had a level of distinction, but now in front of this child, those games seemed inappropriate. Some matters, when everybody say it's right, you naturally think it is right, even if sometimes your heart, in fact, does not think so. The cold moon shone on the snow, the two children 's figure were a bit frail.
At this time, the distance suddenly came a burst of rapid hoof, Yan Xun spirit suddenly lifted, stating, "My people came."
The child on his back gently frowned, listening attentively.Hoof clutter, like if a large army came. There were many people approaching by the sound. The snow fog they made was thick, as a Silver Dragon White Snake, In a line they drew near with a powerful gallop.
Yue'er eyes gently narrowed,then she opened her red lips and slowly answered, "It seems, they are not your people".

Thanks for sharing. The story in the novel has a different start which is not shown in Princess Agents. The original character of Yuwen Yue in the novel is so different and unkind. I wont be surprised if Chu Qiao kills him in the novel.

2022 In Review: Nykaa Bonus Issue, Paytm Buyback To RTwitter Delisting; Events That Impacted Shareholders
Anushka Trivedi
Updated: 27 Dec 2022, 11:23 AM IST
Startups and unicorns have given their shareholders various financial shocks. Let's discuss a few significant ones in this article.
On 9th December, 2022, Paytm announced a buyback of the shares, which means the company is ready to buy its own shares from the shareholders.
Paytm falls nearly 2% as buyback price fails to enthuse investors
Paytm must explain how it has determined post-buyback liquidity will be sufficient: IiAS

The year 2022 was undoubtedly a financially stressful year and a few startups and unicorns contributed a lot to the stress. Here are three significant events that have sent shockwaves through markets:
Nykaa bonus issue
Bonus shares refer to the free shares given to the existing shareholders in a particular ratio approved by the Board of Directors of the company. It is issued primarily to increase retail participation when the share price is very high, making it difficult to buy shares.
The Nykaa bonus issue became a controversy because of the date of the announcement. The lock-in period ended on 10th November and the bonus issue was announced on 11th November. Lock-in period is the period during which investors cannot sell the shares.
Nykaa's bonus share announcement was considered a ploy of management to restrain the investors from selling their shares as lock-in ended. Investors who entered the market at the high price of IPO now see it as the management trying to reduce the prices of shares by issuing bonus issues to increase retail participation, which is considered unfair to the IPO investors.
Paytm buyback
The share price of the company has wiped out more than 70 percent of the wealth of investors since listing.
Buyback of the shares generally shows that the company has a good financial position which motivates investors to hype the prices.
However, Paytm's buyback announcement surprised investors and analysts because it was unclear as to how the loss-making company would actually buy back its shares.
"In Paytm's case, the company continues to report cash losses annually. Therefore, the buyback is essentially a return of equity capital to its shareholders," Proxy advisory firm IiAS said.
Buyback drives Paytm into a more controversial scenario rather than improving its share price.
It was also alleged that Paytm was sharing information about the account holders with entities based out of China.
Twitter delisting
You must have been aware of listing of shares but delisting of shares is not very common in the stock markets. Elon Musk acquired the microblogging platform Twitter and got the company delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
The shareholders of Twitter were offered $54.20 per share to buy back shares to own the shares of the company privately and end the public ownership.

Stock split vs bonus issue


Thank you. Domain/ Range I try to do the same operations in Sage.
Be careful that your question is not well defined. In the definition of a function there is already a domain and a codomain (and the range is a subset of the codomain). In particular it makes no sense to compute the domain.
is not well defined at x=1 since 0 / 0 is not defined.
The question is still not well defined since you might want to consider this expression over the real numbers, the complex numbers, the Riemann sphere or something even more complicated. Depending on the question, you have first to see where the expression makes sense and then to compute the range. For this last computation Sage can currently not help.
Am I not inside the domain ?

Q: boofuzz - Target connection reset, skip error I am using boofuzz to try to fuzz a specific application. While creating the blocks etc and some testing i noticed that the target sometimes closes the connection. This causes procmon to terminate the target process and restarts it. However this is totally unnecessary for this target.
Can i somehow tell boofuzz to not handle this as an Error (so target is not restarted)
[2017-11-04 17:09:07,012]     Info: Receiving...

[2017-11-04 17:09:07,196]       Check OK: No crash detected.

A: Excellent question! There isn't (wasn't) any way to do this, but there really should be. A reset connection does not always mean a failure.
I just added ignore_connection_reset and ignore_connection_aborted options to the Session class to ignore ECONNRESET and ECONNABORTED errors respectively. Available in version 0.0.10.
Description of arguments available in the docs: http://boofuzz.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/Session.html
You may find the commit that added these arguments informative for how some of the boofuzz internals work (relevant lines 182-183, 213-214, 741-756): https://github.com/jtpereyda/boofuzz/commit/a1f08837c755578e80f36fd1d78401f21ccbf852
Thank you for the solid question.

A Note on the Number of the Refugees
Ramleh, one of 13 depopulated towns. Together with its twin, Lydda, their inhabitants, numbering 60,000, have been expelled by the direct orders of Rabin. They were forced to march in July heat, children and old men falling by the wayside. Under heavy Jewish mortar bombardment, Haifa and Jaffa inhabitants left in overloaded small boats, amid screams and searches for lost family members. Many of the boats sunk.
Al Ma'in, one of 99 tribal lands. Although in the Negev, it was fully cultivated, as can be seen. Total cultivated land in Beer Sheba was greater than it is today. Negev is underpopulated today.
Dayr Yassin, one of 419 fully depopulated villages, in addition to 662 secondary localities. Dayr Yassin was the site of the infamous massacre on 9 April 1948. Thirty-four major massacres were committed during the expulsion of the Palestinians in 1948.
This diagram shows the rise of the exodus with the incidence of Israeli military operations. Note the complete correlation between the depopulation date of the villages and the Israeli assault operations. With the cessation of the military attacks, even for a brief period, the exodus ceased almost at once.
