Q: which is the safest way to include a pair of key (public/private) in a apk I'm developing an application for android and I have to maintain a secure communication with a server through a pair of private and public key. Which is the safest way to storage the private key in my apk? Obviously I'm going to obfuscate the code but I want more security. I have thought the following option:
If I create a native share library with the methods for sign the transaction information, The apk only have to contain the .so file and this file is in machine code, so the decompilation could be difficult, isn't it?
any ideas?
Thanks

A: Store the keypair in a keystore and include the keystore as a resource in your APK. Android tends to prefer the BouncyCastle Key Store (BKS) format. Keystores are specifically designed for this purpose.
Note that you should protect the keystore with a password and your application will need to know that password to access the keystore. So, you're left with needing to ask the user for a password to access the keystore or include the password in your code (obfuscate it to make it harder for an attacker to reverse engineer). If someone is going to the trouble of reverse engineering your application to recover your encrypted keystore and the password needed to access it, including that password in a compiled native library will not present much of an additional hurdle.
However, you may not need to do this anyway. If your goal is to protect/encrypt the data in transport to/from the server, use SSL/TLS. If you're not doing client-side authentication, your server needs an SSL certificate but your client does not; the protocol takes care of generating the encryption keys for you in a safe manner. If you do want the server to authenticate the client (make it so your server only talks to your clients), you'd need to install a client-side SSL certificate with your app ... this is the private key that you're probably thinking about.
I'll also point you to Application Security for the Android Platform. This book (disclaimer: I wrote the book) has an entire chapter talking about how to design secure Android app-to-server communications, with code examples to illustrate how to implement the appropriate protections. You may want to give it a read.

A: First of all, in order to implement secure communication between your client application and a server, conceptually speaking, you need only the public key of the server. That allows you to establish a one-way trust relation ship with the server and to establish a secure session, in which the identity of the server is guaranteed.
While certainly the above method does not provide two-way trust (the client cannot be identified to the server), when establishing the communication channel in most applications, this level of trust is not really required.
If your requirements are to provide client authentication to the server using public/private keys then things get more complicated because if you put the key in the apk, no matter how much you obfuscate it (including embedding it in a native library) it will only slow down a dedicated nefarious user.
The only way to store the private key with the client is to encrypt it. But then you have a similar issue of where to store the decrypt key. The easiest solution is to generate a public/private key pair for the user of the client application and ask the user to provide a symmetric encryption/decryption key (which the user will always have to type in) to decrypt the private key each time the user is using the application.
The alternative would be to use some kind of dedicated cryptographic hardware device similar to a smart card that would store the private key securely but you still have the problem of authorizing your application to read the key from the device (not to mention the complication of interfacing with said device).
Now, the question you have to ask yourself is this: "Who are you trying to prevent from reading the private key?" (of course after answering the other question: "Do you really need a public/private key pair for the client").

Als Archivolte (italienisch, von  = "gewölbter Bogen") wird in der Architektur die Stirnseite eines Rund- oder Spitzbogens bezeichnet. Diese kann sowohl glatt und undekoriert als auch in die Tiefe gestaffelt und profiliert und/oder figürlich bzw. vegetabilisch oder geometrisch gestaltet sein. Meist sind Archivolten Teil des Gewändes von Fenster- und Türöffnungen (vor allem bei Kirchenportalen).

Geschichte
In der karolingischen und ottonischen Architektur bleiben Bögen in der Regel ungegliedert. In der Frühromanik finden sich die ersten Tiefenstaffelungen des Gewändes, doch hier wie auch bei ländlichen Kirchen blieben die Stirnseiten der Archivolten meist unbearbeitet. In der Hoch- und Spätromanik wurden sie oft mit Wulst- und Stabformen profiliert. In seltenen Fällen erhielt auch die Unterseite eines oder mehrerer Bögen eine dekorative Bearbeitung.

Mit den Skulpturenportalen der Hoch- und Spätromanik kamen dann in einigen Kulturlandschaften figürliche Darstellungen auf. Die Gotik gestaltete die Archivolten in der Regel figürlich und häufig mit Bezug zum Thema des Tympanons. Von Frankreich ausgehend, wo die ersten figürlichen Archivolten im 2. Viertel des 12. Jahrhunderts auftreten, erscheinen sie in Deutschland erstmals um 1235 an der Goldenen Pforte in Freiberg/Sachsen.

Installing a screen protector on your phone is a cheap and simple way to keep the screen from being scratched to death or potentially shattering. But how hard are they to actually put on yourself?
TPU is an incredibly durable plastic film which can protect against scratches. It's usually advertised as "self healing" because of its ability to absorb minor abrasions. Just because you scratch the screen protector doesn't mean it will continually look scratched up.
Tempered glass is quickly becoming the most popular option for protecting screens because it not only keeps scratches away, but, in a lot of situations, it can absorb a small impact better than TPU and save you from a cracked screen.
Screen protectors are made for consumers to be able to install themselves, but, that doesn't mean everyone should. TPU protectors, ones that are a plastic, flexible film and involve a wet application are, for example, an exercise in frustration.
The trick with TPU and the wet application process isn't necessarily skill, it's regular practice. Someone at a store like Best Buy who does this regularly will be familiar with what causes application problems.
Frankly, a lot of people are nervous to take their new phone out of the box and spray it with liquid to get that screen protector on. The sales person doesn't have the same attachment and can leave emotion out of it.
As far as installing tempered glass protectors, they don't succumb to the same hardships of the sticker-like ones–with ugly air bubbles. In that case, they instantly become easier for more people to attempt the installation. I.e.: You can probably install a tempered glass protector yourself.
Lining up the top portion still requires a certain amount of skill and patience, but tempered glass protectors make this much simpler.
Can you approve the installation before you pay, OR, if you do pay prior, will they keep installing a new one until you're satisfied?
Making sure you get the final say essentially guarantees you get a perfect looking screen protector, which makes the small fee well worth it.

Laramie County Sees 'Decent' Voter Turnout for Primary Election
Joy Greenwald
Joy Greenwald, Townsquare Media
Tuesday's primary election drew about 52 percent of Laramie County's voters to the polls, a "decent showing" according to County Clerk Debra Lee.
Lee says unofficial results indicate that 19,365 ballots were cast.
"As an election administrator you always wish it was more," said Lee. "Sixty-three percent of registered voters turned out in 2014, which was the last election of this nature. In 2010, however, that turnout was only 45 percent."
Lee says some folks were a little confused by the nature of a partisan primary.
"The unaffiliated only had choices of City Council on their ballot and some folks didn't know that you could change parties to participate," said Lee. "Others just, when they found out they didn't have much on the ballot, they didn't participate."
While any number of factors, such as nasty weather, can affect voter turnout, Lee expects to see good numbers for the Nov. 6 general election.
"There are a lot of important races on the ballot," said Lee. "And some folks I talked to said, 'Oh, I never vote in the primary, I just vote in the general.'"
The county canvassing board will meet on Friday to certify the election results.

Facebook Eliminates 5,000 Ad Targeting Options To Pull The Plug On Prejudice
by Allison Schiff // Tuesday, August 21st, 2018 – 5:11 pm
Advertisers that want to exclude people interested in "Passover," "Native American culture" or "evangelism" from seeing a campaign on Facebook will soon be out of luck.
On Tuesday, Facebook said it's planning to remove more than 5,000 ad targeting parameters that could be used to discriminate against minority groups.
The targeting options will be unavailable for new campaigns starting Sept. 4. For campaigns already in flight, access will end Oct. 1.
In the coming weeks, if advertisers want to keep advertising on Facebook, they'll also be required to certify within Ads Manager that they comply with Facebook's anti-discrimination policy. The certification tool will roll out to US users first with other countries to follow.
The cynical (or perhaps realist) point of view is that getting rid of these targeting options serves a double purpose for Facebook by keeping its detractors at bay while nudging advertisers toward Custom Audiences.
Facebook has a habit of using the news cycle as air cover to kill multiple birds with one stone.
When Facebook said in March that it would stop allowing third-party data providers from offering their data for targeting directly on its platform, for example, it was ostensibly in direct reaction to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, which had broken a week before. But removing that functionality could be seen as another way to encourage use of Custom Audiences.
But, some clients just don't have the customer data they'd need to feed into Custom Audiences or don't feel comfortable using that data on social platforms, said Jeanne Bright, VP of social activation for North America at Essence. In that case, they either have to rely on Facebook targeting or find other places to advertise.
"In general, Facebook targeting is degraded from where it was six months ago, and that's causing some clients to think a little harder about their data strategy, the sources of their data, how to use it on social and whether to potentially shift to other channels," she said.
Facebook doesn't disclose how many targeting options it offers, but a spokesperson told AdExchanger that removing 5,000 won't meaningfully affect the overall number. Facebook won't share a complete list of all the parameters so as not to tip off bad actors on what to avoid.
But if it's possible to remove more than 5,000 targeting options without causing a dent, maybe these parameters weren't even that useful to start.
"There's a ton of targeting available on the platform that just makes no sense," said Bright, who had a healthcare client once that was looking to target against an interest in diabetes. "Of the four targeting options that came up, one was 'diabetes in cats,' but no regular diabetes in humans. We're continually surfacing questionable targeting options using Facebook data."
Most of the parameters on the cutting block fall into the exclusion targeting bucket, which allow advertisers to quarantine audiences of people they want to keep from seeing their ads.
A benign use case for this type of targeting could be a sports team looking to expand its base by excluding existing fans.
But the Fair Housing Act, for example, makes it illegal to discriminate on the sale, rental or financing of housing based on religion, race, national origin or gender – which exclusion targeting makes it quite easy to do.
Facebook isn't removing the ability to do multicultural targeting, which is an important part of the data strategy for many clients, Bright said. Although advertisers won't be able to exclude racial groups from a campaign, for example, they will be able to target groups based on parameters such as affinity or spoken language.
But Facebook has been under a lot fire for enabling unfortunate targeting capabilities. The Department of Housing and Urban Development filed a complaint against Facebook on Friday for engaging in housing discrimination by allowing landlords or mortgage companies to limit who can see their ads based on factors such as religion, age or sex.
Although Facebook's targeting purge comes on the heels of the HUD complaint, Facebook first started limiting exclusion targeting in April. At that point, Facebook had already removed thousands of ad-targeting categories mostly focused on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and religion.
Facebook has tried to shore up its systems since a 2016 ProPublica report exposed how Facebook's targeting tools could be used to exclude black, Hispanic and Asian Americans from seeing housing ads.
The following year, ProPublica also called out Facebook for its racist and anti-Semitic targeting categories and for enabling ageist recruitment ads.

Car insurance companies would like it if car accident plaintiffs never hear about lawsuit funding. Why? Because this unique type of plaintiff funding helps keep the little consumer in court, and avoids temptation to take a low, early settlement offer. Simply put, lawsuit funding can keep a case strong enough to wait for a final, fair case settlement.
Fight For the Settlement You Deserve!
Don't kid yourself, even if you're well insured, getting the money you deserve is tough. Especially if you are forced into court. Insurance carriers hire fancy, high priced attorneys who know how to delay and put pressure on plaintiffs hoping they'll either walk away, or take a measly low settlement. The lawyers' job is to save money for the insurance company.
Plaintiffs in Pittsburg and all cities in Pennsylvania need an attorney who is able to defend them in court. A good personal injury attorney is skilled at representing you, and dealing with all the typical legal tricks and tactics. They also make sure your claim is for the highest and fairest dollar amount.
Once a case is filed in court, and legal counsel is in place, it's time to consider how you'll survive with little money until the case settles. Lawsuit loans are a unique type of cash advance meant for plaintiffs who need the money to pay bills, and keep their case strong as they wait for the best and final settlement.
Many plaintiffs lose time from work, some even lose their jobs altogether due to their injuries. Medical bills are piling up and can be many thousands of dollars, sometimes more. This combination of pressures creates a pressure cooker for plaintiffs. Obtaining lawsuit funding provides the necessary cash to bridge the funding gap between filing a case and a final settlement.
Lawsuit funding can help car accident victims become winners in court. It's a fabulous resource offering benefits to consumers who deserve fair compensation for the devastating injuries they sustained.
What Is A Lawsuit Funding?
Once your case is filed its time to consider your finances and how a lawsuit funding can help you pay bills and stay financially healthy during the time you're waiting for a case settlement.

Sports analytics—tracking how fast the ball is moving or how players move across the field—is becoming a key component of how coaches make decisions and fans view games. Data for these analytics is currently sourced through cameras in stadiums and courts and is incredibly expensive to acquire.
In an effort to make big data analytics more accessible for the sports industry, ECE researchers working at the Coordinated Science Lab have utilized IoT devices—low-cost sensors and radio—that can be embedded into sports equipment (e.g., balls, rackets, and shoes), as well as in wearable devices.
Romit Roy Choudhury
The team, led by ECE ILLINOIS Associate Professor Romit Roy Choudhury, jointly with Sharon Yang from Intel, have developed advanced motion tracking algorithms from the various incomplete and noisy measurements of inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors and wireless radios, fitted inside a ball and players' shoes. If the technology gains traction, real-time analytics should be possible at anytime, anywhere.
"There's a lot of interest in analyzing sports data though high-speed cameras, but a system can cost up to $1 million to implement and maintain. It's only accessible to big clubs," said Mahanth Gowda, a PhD candidate in computer science and lead author. "We want to cut down the expense significantly by replacing cameras with inexpensive internet-of-things devices (costing less than $100 in total) to make it possible for many other organizations to use the technology."
The tiny sensors, which are wrapped in a protective case and distributed evenly in equipment, employ inferencing algorithms that can track movement to within a few centimeters. They can accurately characterize 3D ball motion, such as trajectory, orientation, and revolutions per second.
"This level of accuracy and accessibility could help players in local clubs read their own performance from their smartphones via Bluetooth, or school coaches could offer quantifiable feedback to their students," said Roy Choudhury, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and computer science at Illinois.
The sensors are wrapped in a protective case and embedded in a cricket ball. They employ inferencing algorithms that can track movement to within a few centimeters, and accurately characterize 3D ball motion, such as trajectory, orientation, and revolutions per second.
The feedback could also help with detecting and analyzing player injuries, such as concussions. The sensor inside a soccer ball, for example, can measure how hard it hits a player's head, giving coaches an indication about whether to treat the player for head injury.
"We've truly scratched the surface for applications with these sensors. The algorithms provide extremely fine-grained detail and accuracy in measurements, but use common measuring tools that can be found in any smartphone," said Gowda.
The paper, to be published in USENIX NSDI 2017, explores tracking the 3D trajectory and spin parameters of a cricket ball; however, the core motion tracking techniques can be generalized to many different sports analytics.
The team, composed of students Ashutosh Dhekne, Sheng Shen, and other Intel collaborators, have also been developing methods to charge the sensors, including harvesting energy from the spin of the ball.
"We're motivated to develop this technology to help coaches make better decisions on and off the field and provide enhanced entertainment to viewers," said Roy Choudhury. "We want to bring advanced but affordable sports analytics to everyone, anywhere, anytime."

The Opelika Police Department and the Lee County District's Office held a joint press conference Thursday to give an update on the baby Jane Doe case.
Skeletal remains were found near a trailer park in Opelika on January 28, 2012.
Opelika Police determined that the little girl, between 4 and 7-years-old, was murdered between 2010-2012.
"We need to find out her name. We need to give her a proper burial and we need to settle this case for her," said Detective Sgt. Alfred White with the Opelika Police Department.
Police believe a photo taken at Greater Peace Baptist Church is their baby Jane Doe.
From the church picture, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency drew up two new sketches to help determine who she is.
"I find it hard to believe that no one in Opelika knows who this child is. She was seen at church and with this small community of 25,000 people, how can no one identify a a one-eyed black female. I find that very hard to believe that no one knows who she is," said Det. Sgt. White.
DNA testing has determined that she is from the Southeast. Police said where she was found, only someone who lived in the area would know.
"Whoever did this to the child, lived in the trailer park and is from the area. This is not an area where an outsider would stumble upon, find, and dump a body at," said Det. Sgt. White.
The problem they are having with this case is they can't find anything on her. No birth certificate, school records, or fingerprints.
They do know, though, she was severely malnourished and abused before her death.
"It's going to take the public to solve this case," said Det. Sgt. White.
The governor's office now offering a $5,000 reward for anyone with information.
"Somebody knows something. Just come forward. It's the right thing to do, it's the descent thing to do," said Lee County District Attorney, Brandon Hughes.

In a bipartisan effort, all too rare these days, the US Senate passed sweeping legislation last month to address the opioid crisis, one of the most serious public health epidemics facing our country today.
The focus on an issue that is very real to all Americans, regardless of political party, is a bright spot following the draining supreme court battle that further tainted a bitterly divided Congress and the Court in the eyes of many voters.
The legislation also provided positive news for members of Congress anxious to share their part in its passage with constituents at home -- who will be voting to reelect or replace them in the midterm elections - now just 26 days away.
From 1999-2016, more than 350,000 people died from an overdose involving an opioid, including prescription and illicit opioids, accounting for more than half of the total deaths from drug overdoses.
An estimated 2.1 million people have an opioid use disorder.
The epidemic can be traced to the late 1990s when, amid assurances by pharmaceutical companies that opioid pain relievers were not addictive, healthcare providers began to prescribe them at greater rates. The prescription increase led to widespread misuse of both prescription (natural and semi-synthetic opioids and methadone) and non-prescription opioids.
Over the next decade the rapid increase in overdose deaths proved the true, highly addictive, nature of the medications, compounded in recent years by the widespread growth of illegal opioids (heroin) and illicitly-manufactured synthetic opioids (fentanyl).
This was further heightened by the rising incidence of newborns experiencing withdrawal syndrome due to opioid use and misuse during pregnancy.
By 2016, Opioid overdoses accounted for more than 42,000 deaths, a 21.5% increase over 2015. An estimated 40% of those deaths involved a prescription opioid.
The Opioid Crisis Response Act of 2018, tackles prevention, treatment, and recovery as well as enforcement.
The bill authorizes an additional $8 billion to the Center for Disease Control, the Department of Health and Human Services, and other agencies for enhanced treatment programs and comprehensive recovery centers that will provide housing, job training, and medically supervised withdrawal management.
It also focus on making it harder for opioids to enter the US through Mexico and Canada, and through the US Postal Service, and requires the Food and Drug Administration to create new packaging for opioids in limited amounts.
This is good news for lawmakers in the Northeast, Midwest, and Southern US, where the crisis is most prevalent. In 2016, the highest rates of opioid deaths occured inWest Virginia (52.0 per 100,000), Ohio (39.1 per 100,000), New Hampshire (39.0 per 100,000), the District of Columbia (38.8 per 100,000), and Pennsylvania (37.9 per 100,000).
Elected officials also understand the importance of this issue to the voters. An April Associated Press-NORC poll showed 43% of Americans say the use of prescription pain medication is an extremely or very serious problem in their communities.
A Wall Street Journal analysis of congressional and gubernatorial races showed opioids had been mentioned more than 50,000 times in political ads over 25 states as of September, 2018. The ads came from candidates in both parties.
Regardless of the motivating force, the bipartisan effort is a reminder of what can be accomplished when the parties work together.

Lloyd, Soddies shut down Springfield, 3-1
By Lee Passmore Amarillo Globe-News
For the second straight night to open their road trip, the Amarillo Sod Poodles didn't get a great deal of offense.
But Kyle Lloyd more than made up for that.
The veteran right-hander was his usual steady self for the Soddies, giving up only four hits over seven shutout innings as the Sod Poodles evened their series with Springfield with a 3-1 win Thursday night. It was the polar opposite of Wednesday's series opener, when the Cardinals hammered the Sod Poodles (52-49) from the start and cruised to a 12-1 win.
Lloyd gave the type of performance the Poodles needed. He wasn't overpowering as he had only four strikeouts, but was in command, dousing every Springfield threat during his outing.
The Sod Poodles got all the offense they needed in the top of the third, when Buddy Reed hit a two-run home run off Springfield starter Evan Kruczynski for a 2-0 lead. They added another run in the top of the sixth when Peter Van Gansen drove home a run on an infield single to make it 3-0.
Lloyd departed at the end of the next inning. Dauris Valdez relieved and made the only major mistake of the night by Amarillo pitching, as he gave up a solo homer to Dylan Carlson to cut the lead to 3-1.
But that was it as far as offense. Evan Miller came in for the Sod Poodles and pitched a perfect ninth to earn the save.
The two teams meet again Friday at 7:10 p.m. in the rubber game of the series. Left-hander MacKenzie Gore, the top rated prospect of Amarillo's parent club San Diego Padres, will get the start on the mound.
Sod Poodles 3, Cardinals 1
Amarillo 002 001 000 — 3 6 0
Springfield 000 000 010 — 1 5 0
Kyle Lloyd, Dauris Valdez (8), Evan Miller (9) and Luis Torrens. Evan Kruczynski, Roel Ramirez (6), Mitchell Osnowitz (8), Jacob Patterson (9) and Chris Chinea. W—Lloyd 5-5. L—Kruczynski 2-6. S—Miller 4. 2B—Amarillo: Kyle Overstreet. Springfield: Chinea 2. HR—Amarillo: Buddy Reed (12). Springfield: Dylan Carlson (17). Records: Amarillo 52-49, Springfield 48-55.

Q: Need help on bytes via Socket I'm trying to send a couple of data via Sockets, so it's converted to bytes and then back to String on the Server. But I can only do one apparently.
Server code:
static void Read(IAsyncResult ar)
{
    int fileNameLen = 1;
    //int userNameLen = 9;

    State newState = (State)ar.AsyncState; //gets state of Socket
    Socket handler = newState.Socket_w; //passes Socket to handler

    int bytesRead = handler.EndReceive(ar); //terminates Data Receive from Socket.

    if (bytesRead > 0)
    {
        if (flag == 0)
        {
            fileNameLen = BitConverter.ToInt32(newState.buffer, 0); //gets filename length
            fileName = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(newState.buffer, 4, fileNameLen); //gets filename
            //userNameLen = BitConverter.ToInt32(newState.buffer, 8);
            //getUsername = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(newState.buffer, 8, fileNameLen);

            flag++;
        }
    }
}

Client code:
internal static void uploadFile(string host, string username, string getGame, string filename, string filepath)
{
    byte[] m_clientData;
    Socket clientSock = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
    byte[] fileName = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(username + "_" + filename);
    byte[] fileData = File.ReadAllBytes(filepath);
    byte[] fileNameLen = BitConverter.GetBytes(fileName.Length);
    //byte[] sendUsername = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(username);
    //byte[] sendUsernameLen = BitConverter.GetBytes(sendUsername.Length);
    //byte[] sendGame = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(getGame);
    //byte[] sendGameLen = BitConverter.GetBytes(sendGame.Length);

    m_clientData = new byte[4 + fileName.Length + fileData.Length];

    fileNameLen.CopyTo(m_clientData, 0);
    fileName.CopyTo(m_clientData, 4);
    fileData.CopyTo(m_clientData, 4 + fileName.Length);

    //sendUsernameLen.CopyTo(m_clientData, 0);
    //sendUsername.CopyTo(m_clientData, 4);

    //sendGameLen.CopyTo(m_clientData, 0);
    //sendGame.CopyTo(m_clientData, 4);

    clientSock.Connect(host, 8889);
    clientSock.Send(m_clientData); //tofix exception
    clientSock.Close();
}

I can't seem to decrypt it properly over on Server. Can anyone help me with the buffersizes and whatnot?

A: Read does not know anything about what was sent; TCP is basically just a stream - so there is absolutely nothing to say that you have all the data in one call to Read; you could have:

*

*exactly the amount of data you sent

*part of one message

*17 messages

*the end of one message and the start of the next

*1 solitary byte from a message

You need to devise some kind of framing protocol that lets the receiver know when they have an entire message. That could be as simple as a length prefix, or can be more complex. You should then buffer the data in memory (or process it gradually) until you have the entire message. One call to Read is very unlikely to represent a single and complete message. Indeed, this is guaranteed not to be the case if a message is larger than your newstate.buffer, but you can get the same result even for small messages and a large buffer.

Press Release nr98-130
Press Release · Friday, August 7, 1998
Under Court Order National Archives Prepares to Return Private Portions of Nixon Tapes
Washington, D.C....On Monday, August 10, at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the original White House tape recordings made by former President Richard Nixon will start being cut apart so that portions that courts have ruled are the private property of the Nixon estate can be returned to it.
The National Archives, which has custody of the tapes, is in the process of opening those to which the government is entitled. In the continuing process of reviewing the tapes, NARA officials so far have identified approximately 820 hours of recorded conversations that must be returned, which is approximately 22 percent of the 3,700-hour total.
As ordered by the courts, the National Archives will have to destroy or return copies it has made as well as return the portions of the original tapes containing private or personal information. But Archives officials are hopeful that the Nixon estate itself might preserve and someday make public at least some of the private conversations. Archivist of the United States John Carlin has formally asked the Nixon estate
to accept the return of the entire master preservation copy so that the Estate can preserve one intact copy of the private or personal information. This would allow the "political" conversations, which are included in those private or personal materials, to be preserved in context with other conversations and possibly to be made available to the public in the future.
President Nixon secretly recorded many conversations during his administration on tapes that came to light during the "Watergate" investigation. The Presidential Recordings and Material Preservation Act of 1974, which the Supreme Court upheld as constitutional in 1977, requires that the National Archives review these tapes, identify and return "private or personal" conversations, and retain the rest, opening to the public material such as conversations related to "abuse of governmental power."
Regulations promulgated under the Act describe "private or personal materials" as materials that relate "solely to a person's family or other non-governmental activities, including private political associations, and having no connection with his constitutional or statutory powers or duties as President or as a member of the President's staff." The regulations further specify that "political materials" can be kept by the government "only when those activities directly relate to or have a direct effect upon the carrying out of constitutional or statutory powers or duties."
In 1997, a federal district court directed NARA to provide the estate of the late President "forthwith with all personal or private conversations identified to date" on the tapes and tape logs and to destroy or return all additional private or personal material identified in the continuing review of the tapes. A U.S. court of appeals subsequently affirmed the order, with which the National Archives is complying.
Accordingly, archivists at NARA in College Park, Maryland, will physically cut out of the original tapes all segments identified as private or personal in a painstaking process that could take from three to six years. Despite the delicacy of the process, taped conversations that the law allows to be made public will not be lost or harmed because the Archives can and is retaining them on preservation copies usable with today's technology. Under a court-mediated agreement with the Nixon estate, the National Archives will continue to release in stages recorded material that the law allows to be made public.

We met up on day 2 of the windiest weekend ever (see Kathleen and Aaron's post for day 1 haha), but these guys braved the chilly weather and it totally paid off! This park is one of my favorites, both for picture-taking and for hiking with my dog. There are so many great trails and Germantown Lake is just gorgeous. I love that we were able to get so much variety in the photos all from one location!
While Kiki looks so sweet and innocent staring off into the distance, don't let this little pup fool ya - she's feisty. Before we even took a single picture, she got loose and made a break for the water that nearly gave Jenn a heart attack! But the whole rest of the afternoon she was super calm and cooperative haha.
Hahaha Dante's face in this one is killing me! I just love it when big dogs are cool with being picked up. My dog is the same way!
Alex is definitely pulling off "Blue Steel" in this one!
Hahaha my favorite one. This definitely needs to hang up in your house somewhere guys.
I just love Jenn's ring, and Alex got an engagement watch! This is definitely something more couples should do - it should not be just one person that gets something sparkly to celebrate with haha.
I'm so excited for their wedding next year! Jenn and Alex specifically chose a dog-friendly venue (Hotel Monaco in Alexandria) because they want their dogs to be a part of their big day :) I can't wait!

Title: Further evidence for links between facial width-to-height ratio and fighting success: Commentary on Zilioli et al. (2014)

Abstract: Recent research has reported an association between facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) and both fighting performance and judgments of formidability in a sample of mixed martial arts (MMA) combatants. The results provide evidence of fWHR being associated with sporting performance and aggression in men. However, it has been argued that the effect of fWHR might be a by-product of associations between body size and behavioral measures. Here we tested whether fWHR is associated with perceived aggressiveness, fighting ability and success in physical confrontation, while controlling for body size, also in a sample of MMA fighters. We found that perceived fighting ability was predicted by weight but not by fWHR. In contrast, both fWHR and body weight independently predicted perceived aggressiveness. Furthermore, we found positive associations between fWHR and fighting performance which appear to be independent of body size. Our findings provide further support for the proposal that fWHR is associated with fighting ability and perceived aggression, and that these effects are independent of body size. Therefore, fWHR might be considered as a viable and reliable marker for inference of success in male intra-sexual competition.

Luke Launches All Party Groups in historic Mayflower year
Luke Launches 3 All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGS) on the Mayflower 400, Dance and Hockey
Luke is keen to see the historic journey from the UK to the US in 1620 commemorated on the 400th Anniversary
Luke is excited to be elected Chair of all 3 APPGs, pressing for greater uptake of Hockey and Dance
Last Wednesday, Luke launched 3 APPGs in the new Parliament, the APPGs for Hockey, Dance and the Mayflower 400.
First up was the Mayflower 400, renamed from the previous 'APPG for the Mayflower Pilgrims' to commemorate this historic year. With increased membership amongst MPs and Peers and an increase in the number of Officers from 4 to 10, Luke was proud to be elected Chair and had this to say:
"I want to thank the group for electing me Chair on this historic year as we look to commemorate the journey taken by the Mayflower Pilgrims in 1620. Although the Pilgrims came from across the UK, the history of this event is important to Plymouth and it is important that we remember the impact that our ancestors had on history. Plymouth is a city of pioneers"
Luke with some of his fellow Officers of the APPG for the Mayflower 400
Luke also re-launched the APPG for Dance, where he received a promotion from Vice-Chair to Chair. As Luke's partner is a contemporary dancer, he loves to push all forms of dance and is keen to improve uptake in the artistic sport. Luke is excited to work with a team of cross-party MPs and Peers, as well as group Secretariat One Dance UK, to push the APPG to new heights. Luke was happy to welcome Abena Oppong-Asare, new Member of Parliament for Erith and Thamesmead, as Secretary for the Group.
Luke also re-registered the APPG for Hockey, where he welcomed new colleagues with a look to holding a friendly game between MPs/Peers and England representatives to showcase the sport and improve participation.
Luke is looking forward to working with all colleagues to make the All-Party groups successful.
Luke with Baroness Hooper (Co-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Dance Group) and Andrew Hurst (One Dance UK's Chief Executive)

Asbestosis Deaths
Asbestos Exposure in Montana
While Montana does not have a large industrial background, there has been a long history of vermiculite mining near Libby, Montana that has proven to be extremely hazardous for workers, residents and individuals all over the country.
The Zonolite Company and later the W.R. Grace Company extracted vermiculite contaminated with toxic asbestos from the ground. People in the city of Libby have suffered from illnesses and even died from asbestos pollution that resulted from the mining.
The contaminated vermiculite was then sent to processing plants all over the nation exposing workers to the hazardous asbestos fibers. Lastly, products containing the asbestos tainted vermiculite were shipped to stores and used in homes across the nation.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) added the city of Libby to its Superfund National Priorities List in 2002 as a result of the asbestos contamination caused by the W.R. Grace vermiculite processing facility. The city has undergone extensive cleanup efforts and in 2014 the EPA declared the city safe.
Industrial Sites with Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos is known for its heat resistant properties and affordability. It was often used in all types of insulation. Oil refineries, chemical plants, and power plants used asbestos insulation on pipes and equipment. Asbestos-based fireproofing products were used in lumber and paper mills increasing the chance of exposure for workers in these facilities. Exposure to asbestos can lead to the development of deadly asbestos-related diseases, such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer.
Partial list of work sites in Montana with known asbestos exposure
Anaconda Aluminum Plant
Anaconda Copper Smelter
ASARCO Lead Smelter
Western Sugar Cooperative Sugar Refinery in Billings
Boise Cascade Plywood Mill
Conoco Oil Refinery in Billings
General Mills Plant in Great Falls

Statute of Limitations to File Mesothelioma Claim in Montana
There is a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit for mesothelioma that varies for each state called the statute of limitations. This means if you do not file within the time limit, you will never be able to pursue legal action or obtain compensation. It's important that you take legal action within this time frame so you do not miss out on receiving the compensation you may deserve. Contact us here to learn more about how we can help.

Mesothelioma is a deadly and rare form of malignant cancer that is caused by asbestos exposure. The most common forms of mesothelioma are: pleural and peritoneal. Pleural mesothelioma is a cancer that affects the lining of the lungs and peritoneal mesothelioma is a cancer that affects the lining of the abdominal cavity.
Victims with pleural mesothelioma may have respiratory symptoms, such as coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue. Victims with peritoneal mesothelioma may have abdominal swelling, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss.
The latency period for mesothelioma is very long. The average latency period is about 30 years, but can be shorter than 15 years or longer than 40 years. This means individuals with mesothelioma may take decades to present symptoms from the time they were exposed to asbestos.
What is asbestosis?
Asbestosis is a chronic lung disease caused by asbestos exposure. When asbestos is inhaled the fibers irritate and scar the lining of the lungs, making it difficult to breathe. The lungs become stiff and cannot expand and contract normally. Symptoms of asbestosis are shortness of breath, chest pain, and a dry, persistent cough. Like mesothelioma, the latency period for asbestosis is very long. Symptoms may not present for 10 to 40 years after asbestos exposure.
Military Asbestos Exposure
It is extremely important to know that our attorneys do not sue the military. We seek accountability from the asbestos companies that sold dangerous asbestos products to the military.
Members of all branches of the military may have been exposed to asbestos before it became more restricted in the 1970s. The U.S. military used asbestos products in many areas because of its low cost, durability, and heat resistant properties. The common use of these asbestos products put many U.S. veterans at risk of developing asbestos related diseases, such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. Below is a list of the military branches and common asbestos exposure sites:
Navy – shipyards, boiler rooms, submarines
Army – barracks, shipyards, construction
Marine Corps – armored vehicles, barracks, ships, aircraft
Coast Guard – inside ships, ships, boiler rooms
Air Force- bases, airplanes, jets, aircraft maintenance
