History | Jail killing of infamous Jack Riley remains unsolved
Rhonda Whetstone
for USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin
Stevens Point residents were surprised the morning of Friday, Aug. 24, 1883, to find the infamous Jack Riley, 35, had been shot dead in his jail cell.
The coroner summoned a jury to view the body lying partially across the straw tick bed. Still wearing pants, vest and a torn shirt, his face was covered with blood and unrecognizable.
The body was taken to the front of the jail where a gold watch, $10 bill and bunch of keys were removed from his pockets, and a gold ring from his finger.

Riley's face was washed and Dr. Phillips examined the body.
Policemen on duty, Dunnigan and Zorn, were questioned, and they stated Riley was jailed between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. Thursday night due to warrants against him, including one for assault against a young local man named Clark.
Riley was given his supper at 7 p.m., and Zorn continued to check into the jail frequently as there was talk of citizens taking action against Riley.
Around midnight, Dunnigan stated he left, locking up the jail and leaving a lamp burning and the cell key on the desk. Having his meal at the Curran House, he returned about 1 a.m. to find two panes of glass broken out of the window, the lamp out and the front door and cell both unlocked.
He saw Riley in his cell, covered in blood and breathing, but by the time Dr. Rood was called, Riley was dead. He was shot at least three times — in the hand, the nose and the temple. There were also many abrasions on his hands, head and face. Powder burns indicated the shots were made at close range.
Testimony given by James Gardner stated when he walked by at midnight the light was on in the jail and 20 minutes later, it was off, pinpointing the probable time of the murder.
The police had been warned of a lynching, but proper precautions were not taken, probably because Riley was a career criminal who boasted of his crimes. He stated he had served six prison sentences, including three in Waupun, and police from several states were looking for him.
He arrived in Stevens Point in autumn 1880, followed by Minnesota detectives who arrested him for the attempted murder of Judge Page, who was shot and wounded at home. Riley was acquitted of that and the Stevens Point Daily Journal said he returned to Stevens Point.
When it came to robbery, his biggest take was $33,000 — over $2,000,000 today — from a treasurer's safe in Illinois.
In this city, though, he was accused of trying to kill Pat McHugh, firing at him through a window. He was released after providing an alibi, just as he did for another shooting on the south side of town.
Riley left only two brothers in Minnesota, and a wife and two children living in the town of Stockton to mourn him.
No one was ever arrested in his murder and, likely, no one cared. So ended the life of Riley.

Q: Is it possible to test whether a user's browser/OS supports a given type of link using javascript? Is it possible to test whether a user's OS/browser supports a given url scheme using javascript (or anything else)?
For example, mailto: isn't setup on most user's computer that only use webmail.  Would it be possible to somehow catch attempts to click a mailto link and pop up a more descriptive explanation than the browser error message?

A: In the general case — I don't think so.
In the specific case of mailto: — no.
To solve the problem you need to describe you need to know if the user has a configured email client, not if the browser supports mailto:. Most browsers support mailto:, and if the user doesn't have a configured client — it still 'works' (by starting the email client and prompting the user to configure it).

A:
Would it be possible to somehow catch attempts to click a mailto link and pop up a more descriptive explanation than the browser error message?

I don't know that you can determine whether a browser supports mailto: links. But as for attaching logic to mailto links, you could cycle through the links on the page, and test their href value. If it begins with "mailto:" you could attach a popup upon clicking it.
var maillinks = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
var (var i = 0; i < maillinks.length; i++) {
  var currentlink = maillinks[i];
  if (currentlink.href.substring(0,7) === "mailto:") {
    alert("Sorry. These aren't allowed.");
    return false;
  }
}

The only real solution I can think to this problem is to host your own contact page, providing a small form that the user can submit.

Hope for Nigerian patients as 69 scientists invent AI-powered spinal cord implant
AI induced walkin. Image Source: Dailymail/EPL
Janet Ogundepo
Globally, technological innovations have eased communication, movement and impacted the work-life environment so much so that things hitherto perceived as impossible are now easy-to-do.
Amazingly, technology brought diverse discoveries in terms of cures or replacements for human defections or deficiencies. It also aids medical professionals in treatments, diagnoses and research among others. Also, it brought medical help and diagnosis closer to people such that devices such as smart wristwatches and other medical applications can monitor, collect patients' data and alert individuals to necessary events.
Recently, after three decades of preclinical and clinical trials, a team of medical researchers has invented a revolutionary spinal cord implant that would allow paraplegics to walk, swim and cycle again.
The implant, as described by DailyMail, referred to as Epidural Electrical Stimulation, targeted the dorsal roots (the sensory root of a spinal nerve responsible for carrying information to the spinal cord) of lumbosacral segments and restored walking in people with spinal cord injury.
Paraplegics are persons suffering from paraplegia also called leg paralysis, who are unable to voluntarily move the lower parts of the body.
Spinal cord experts at Spinalcord.com, defined paraplegia, sometimes called partial paralysis, as a form of paralysis that impedes functioning from below the level of the injury. They added that the main cause of the problem resided in the brain or spinal cord inhibiting the ability to send or receive signals to the lower body due to the injury or disease.
The implant, according to a journal by Nature Medicine, was worked on by a team of 69 medical experts. The journal noted, "Epidural Electrical Stimulation is delivered with multielectrode paddle leads that were originally designed to target the dorsal column of the spinal cord. Here, we hypothesised that an arrangement of electrodes targeting the ensemble of dorsal roots involved in leg and trunk movements would result in superior efficacy, restoring more diverse motor activities after the most severe SCI. To test this hypothesis, we established a computational framework that informed the optimal arrangement of electrodes on a new paddle lead and guided its neurosurgical positioning. We also developed software supporting the rapid configuration of activity-specific stimulation programs that reproduced the natural activation of motor neurons underlying each activity."
The researchers, however, stated that the device, while providing SCI patients with the opportunity to, over time, walk, swim and cycle was not a cure for SCI, emphasising the need for extensive training for patients to "get comfortable with the specific stimulation programmes for each type of movement."
One of the three patients that tested the implant, a 29-year-old Italian, Michel Roccati, had lost the use of his legs four years ago, after a motorbike crash and had been confined to a wheelchair.
He was quoted as saying, "The first few steps were incredible, a dream come true. I've been through some pretty intense training in the past few months and I've set myself a series of goals. For instance, I can now go up and down stairs and I hope to be able to walk one kilometre (0.62 miles) by this spring."
DailyMail reported that aside from EES, some scientists from Tel Aviv University invented a 3D spinal cord implant through the engineering of stem cells that would make paraplegics walk again. The research, which was carried out in paralysed mice, reprogrammed fat cells from humans and recorded an "80 per cent success rate in restoring the rodents' ability to walk." However, the researchers are hopeful for a successful clinical trial of the implant in humans.
Data from America's National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Centre revealed that about 294,000 people live with spinal cord injury and about 17,810 people have new spinal injuries every year.
Vehicle accidents, 39 per cent, was pegged as the highest cause of the injury while falls, 32 per cent, violence, 14 per cent, sports, 7.8 per cent, medical/surgical, four per cent and others 3 per cent were common causes of the injury.
Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, about 50,000 people live with SCI and about 500,000 people globally are affected.
Research conducted by a team of health professionals on the prevalence and outcome of care among patients with spinal cord injury at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State, revealed that of the 850 patients admitted into the ward for neurosurgery, cardiothoracic, haematology and oncology patients from 2015 – 2018, 132 cases were of SCI with a prevalence rate of 15.5 per cent.
It further noted that motor vehicle road accidents accounted for 43.9 per cent of the cases while 8.3 per cent were passenger road traffic accidents and 18.9 per cent were caused by degenerative spine disease.
Furthermore, a comparison of various studies from the southern and western parts of Nigeria revealed a yearly increase in SCI cases with physical trauma as the major cause of the injury.
Commenting on the innovation, a Professor of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Faculty of Clinical Sciences, College of Medicine, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, John Onuminya, said that the invention and awareness of the medical technology was a ray of hope to paraplegics.
He added that though Nigeria might be late to be at par with the developed nations in taking advantage of the AI-powered invention, the awareness of such medical intervention would give those with the wherewithal access to such care.
Onuminya said, "As for the application of artificial intelligence in medicine and spinal injured patients, one of the hopes for Nigeria is the awareness that there is an intervention in the making. It is just like discussing the use of stem cells in the regeneration of the spinal cord, though the wherewithal is not with us and the actual practice is far from us but that we hear of it is a ray of hope for all of us.
"Though the government is not positioned to provide such aggregate readymade in Nigeria, this awareness provides a ray of hope for paraplegics in the country that something can be done to change their state. If it (the implant) is actualised and it is practical, proven and reliable, I would like to insinuate that there would be some Nigerians that would afford it and begin to access the facility."
The expert added, "However, it is too early to be jubilant; we hear of short-term results, we also want to wait to see the long-term result. Is it sustainable or is it just a short-term thing? I think, whichever way it goes, that people are thinking and working in that area gives us a lot of hope in the management of paraplegics. We will join the rest of the world to pray that the breakthrough would be sustained and real for the world. We will key to it, we may not be there immediately but we will have a government that wants to invest in this technology. I am also waiting for a time when the initiative would start from Nigeria."
He noted that the best intervention for paraplegics was prevention, stating that the commonest cause of SCI was road traffic accidents and falls from palm trees.
He advised that early presentation of spinal cord injury patients to hospitals would aid recovery of the spine and prevent further complications.
He decried the lack of funding for the care of those suffering spinal cord injuries and the limited number of skilled hands and facilities, noting that the development caused a delay in remedying those whose spinal cord could still be treated.
On his part, a Professor of Physiotherapy at the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, Bayero University, Kano, Oluwaleke Sokunbi, said that the feasibility of the implant depended on the functioning of other parts of the body, adding that a good amount of strength in the trunk and upper extremities of paraplegics was important.
Sokunbi said, "The feasibility of this working would depend on three major factors, which are one; the level at which the spinal cord is affected, the lower the level of spinal cord affectation, the higher the likelihood that the implant might work. Second, it would depend on the strength of other parts of the body needed for mobility and unaffected by paraplegia. And that would include limb muscle strength and coordination and trunk muscle strength and coordination. The third major factor is the integrity of the central nervous system. If the central nervous system is intact and functioning well, especially the brain, the more the likelihood that the implant would work. Mobility also depends on the functioning of other sense organs. You can't rule out the contribution of the eyes, ear; that is for balance when walking, and other sense organs."
The spinal rehabilitation specialist added that there was a need for a conducive environment that would aid the appropriate movement and activities of paraplegics with the implant.
He added, "It is worth trying and I look forward to reading the result of such trials. Anything that would make the further integration of these people into normal society is worth trying. It is not just a ray of hope but a bright light of hope.''
Also, a professor of neurology in one of the nation's federal universities who spoke on condition of anonymity said that the implant was to help the nerves function better, stating that it was not only for paraplegics but also useful for quadriplegics; individuals with paralysed arms and legs.
The don said, "It is an invention that is useful anywhere in the world if one has the facility.'' He added that several tests such as CT scan and Magnetic Resonance Imaging were needed to be carried out to reveal where the problem on the spine was.

The B.A. degree in art provides a comprehensive liberal education coupled with professional resident instruction in art. Depending on each student's objectives and course choices, this degree provides preparation for a professional career, a foundation for graduate studies, or a liberal arts education in art. Each student must elect an area of concentration from one of the following: ceramics, drawing and painting, new media, photography, printmaking, or sculpture.
Art is an individual and social practice that makes an impact. When people create or respond to art, they make connections between themselves and the experiences of others. In some cases, art provides a private encounter whereby individual thoughts and feelings are expressed through art, or recognized in the art of someone else. In other cases, art gives form to ideas and issues that concern entire communities. It is because art extends personal and public awareness that it is highly valued as a cultural activity. Those who make art and write about art offer imaginative insights that challenge us to see things differently. By creating artworks yourself, and enhancing your capacity to interpret artworks made by other individuals, communities, and cultures, you contribute to one of the most important purposes of art, which is to celebrate this unique human form of social communication that shapes the way we see ourselves.
You are excited and challenged by the diverse and profound impact art and culture can have in the everyday life of individuals and communities. Art and culture 'workers' take on many creative roles in everyday life and respond imaginatively to the continuous rush of social and cultural change around them by exploring issues, and expressing and communicating ideas using all forms of image, text, and social media.
6 of the 45 credits for General Education are included in the Requirements for the Major. This includes 6 credits of General Education GA courses.
These credits may also be counted toward the General Education Arts requirement.
Include at least 15 credits at the 300 or 400 level.
By recalling, understanding and applying basic visual elements and principals of visual design across two-, three- and four-dimensional media expressions.
By using a variety of media to develop an articulate, unique visual expression of the world as it is actually seen, abandoning iconic visual classifications and symbolic stereotypes.
By mastering tools used in traditional and contemporary art and design making contexts, with particular emphasis on a chosen media concentration: Drawing and Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, Ceramics or New Media.
By making intelligent media application decisions to achieve appropriate form in support of intended content.
By recalling, understanding, applying and analyzing art history, aesthetic theory, contemporary topics and a liberal arts framework as components of the creative process, all used as foundation for deep, methodical study of the subject of creative investigation.
By employing a vocabulary of spoken and written word to clearly express the relevance, motivation and discoveries of the research.
By synthesizing and evaluating creative output, contributing to critical discourse, responding positively to feedback and understanding how to use critique as part of the creative process.
By experimenting with and expanding the use of media with an eye toward future possibilities not prescribed by current standards.
By creating original, conceptually compelling works of art or design relevant to individual experience and using a personal visual vocabulary.
By creating work that evokes a personally meaningful intellectual and emotional response to a zone of personal concern.
By creating work which evokes a spectator's response that resonates with, without necessarily duplicating, the artist's personal response, understanding through discussion and critique how a spectator arrives at a particular inspiration interacting with one's work.
By planning and implementing exhibitions of work, understanding the process from curatorial conceptualization through promotion, preparation and physical installation.
By creating and maintaining ongoing documentation of work through portfolio, resume, website and other visual and verbal means of communicating professional development.
By understanding how art making relates to aspirations for career, further study at the graduate level, or personal growth.
By understanding the ethical and professional responsibilities of an artist or designer.
Change of major requirements: A minimum grade point average of 2.0 and a successful portfolio review are required.
Note: Many ART Studio courses are repeatable.
As a B.A. graduate with a broad interest in the individual and collective power of the arts to enrich human understanding, you have artistic skills and critical sensibilities that can become life-long assets. Just as art can awaken us to new experience, exploring new ways to integrate knowledge from diverse sources helps make these experiences concrete and alerts us to noticing things not otherwise obvious. Broadening learning to embrace studio-based practices of making and critical reflection opens up options for linking personal and professional career interests, and these can have an enduring impact on what and how one learns.
The B.A. experience collects and collates many different modalities of thinking and knowing, re-positions them around what we know, and helps us see gaps and what we don't know. The B.A. art experience takes these familiar and new understandings and provides an environment for helping you to discover your personal voice in the work you create. Contemporary studio art practice embraces any conceptually appropriate material and method that best articulates your artistic intention. In addition, professional practice opportunities are embedded into the program that can lead to future accomplishments after school.
Due to the emphasis put on developing your personal vision and distinctive artistic voice, a B.A. art graduate will have a heightened sense of individual perspective and an understanding of multiple ways of engaging with ideas, and these dispositions become foundational skills in assessing future educational and professional directions.

DDoS attacks in Q4 2019
In the past quarter, DDoS organizers continued to harness non-standard protocols for amplification attacks. In the wake of WS-Discovery, which we covered in the previous report, cybercriminals turned to Apple Remote Management Service (ARMS), part of the Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) application for remote administration. The first attacks using ARMS were registered back in June 2019, and by early October the protocol was being used by DDoS-as-a-service providers; such attacks have since become widespread. According to the BinaryEdge portal, at the beginning of the quarter, nearly 40,000 systems running macOS with ARMS were available online.
Q4 was also marked by the growing number of peer-to-peer (P2P) botnets. Unlike the classic sort, these are independent of C&C servers, and thus more difficult to neutralize. In Q4 2019, researchers at 360 Netlab told about two new such botnets. The first, nicknamed Roboto, attacks Linux servers through a known vulnerability in the Webmin remote administration application. Experts note that the botnet has yet to carry out a DDoS attack, although it does have the functionality. The second P2P network, Mozi, is aimed at IoT devices and distributed using the DHT protocol, which is applied in distributed networks, such as BitTorrent, to quickly set up a P2P network. Mozi's authors seemingly borrowed part of the code from the Gafgyt malware, which was designed to create a "classic" botnet.
Gafgyt's developers also updated their creation. Researchers from Palo Alto Networks detected a new version of the malware that attacks Huawei HG532, Realtek RTL81XX, and Zyxel P660HN-T1A routers. The new version of the bot has even learned to wipe competitors from infected devices.
While some cybercriminals are updating their arsenal, others are using already proven tools and methods. For instance, in October and November 2019, researchers observed a wave of TCP reflection attacks. This method involves sending requests to legitimate services under the guise of the victim, who is then flooded with responses, so the IP addresses of the attackers do not light up. Over the past two years, such attacks have been on the rise. In October, the betting website Eurobet fell victim to cybercriminals, followed by several other sports betting organizations. Later that same month, a flurry of TCP reflection attacks hit financial and telecommunications companies in Turkey. Also named among the targets were Amazon and SoftLayer (a subsidiary of IBM).
Q4 saw attacks on Internet service providers in South Africa continue. In late October, cybercriminals overwhelmed Echo Service Provider — which serves the local providers Afrihost, Axxess, and Webafrica — with junk traffic. Clients of these organizations experienced downtime when connecting to foreign segments of the Internet. The attack reoccurred approximately one month later, and this time the list of victims included the providers RSAWEB and Cool Ideas.
Among the DDoS attacks launched against commercial organizations, worth highlighting is the campaign in October against financial institutions in South Africa, Singapore, and Scandinavia. The attackers sent emails to the victims, threatening to disable their systems and demanding a ransom; and to prove their intent, they carried out a short demonstration DDoS attack. For added effect, they posed as the infamous APT group Fancy Bear, inviting victims to look online for information about their past exploits. When the media reported the attacks, the ransomers renamed themselves Cozy Bear.
Curiously, the media failed to mention a single large-scale DDoS attack timed to coincide with the runup to the festive period. But political incidents did get coverage. For instance, on November 11 and 12, a month before the UK general election, attackers tried to disable the campaign site of the Labour Party.
In December, media outlets in Kyrgyzstan that had reported an investigation into the expenses of the wife of a former official suffered from DDoS attacks. A total of seven organizations were temporarily taken down by the hired hands of the disgruntled party. Another news portal later joined the list of victims, but perhaps for a different reason.
The Minecraft server of the Vatican (that's right) was bombarded with junk traffic immediately after launch, in what could be described as an ideological attack. The purpose of the server was to create a "less toxic environment" for players, but the project attracted not only peace-loving players. The Vatican is now beefing up its protection. Ubisoft too was engaged in DDoS fire-fighting. The developer adopted a complex of measures to protect the servers of its video game Rainbow Six Siege, which had been on the receiving end of regular attacks. As a result, according to the company, the number of incidents decreased by 93%.
Law enforcement agencies were conspicuous in the struggle against DDoSers. For instance, in early November, Chinese authorities announced the arrest of a group which controlled a botnet of more than 200,000 infected sites. The operation took place in 20 cities; 41 people were detained. In the second half of the same month, the US sentenced Sergey Usatyuk to 13 months' imprisonment for running DDoS-for-hire services together with an unknown accomplice in Canada. The cybercriminals had been active from 2015 to 2017. In the first 13 months of the operation, the service was used by 386,000 clients and 3.8 million DDoS attacks were carried out.
Quarter and year trends
As we predicted, Q4 saw an increase in the number of attacks relative to the previous reporting period. Although the rise in the total number of incidents was modest, smart attacks grew by a quarter, which is a fair amount. What's more, not only the number of attacks increased, but their average duration. This was expected, since Q4 is a period of retail warfare, and we observe an increase in attacks from October to December every year.
If we compare the Q4 indicators with those for the same period last year, we see a near doubling in 2019. The end of 2018 was really very calm; we only noticed renewed growth in the attack market after a significant drop, which we wrote about in last year's report. Back then, we correctly predicted a further rise in the number of attacks. This is clearly seen when comparing full data for 2018 and 2019.
Comparison of the number and duration of DDoS attacks in Q3 and Q4 2019, as well as Q4 2018; the Q4 figures were taken as the 100% reference value (download)
Overall, in 2019 we observed clear growth in all indicators compared to 2018. The total number of smart attacks saw particularly significant growth, as did their average duration. Last year, we forecast a rise in DDoS attacks, but did not expect such a leap.
The maximum duration of attacks also climbed, but not as significantly. In calculating the indicators, we excluded from the statistics an abnormally long attack carried out in Q3 2019, because it was an outlier case that would have unfairly distorted the annual figures.
Comparison of the number and duration of DDoS attacks in 2018 and 2019; the 2019 figures are taken as the 100% reference value (download)
Although Q4 saw an increase in the number and duration of DDoS attacks relative to the previous reporting period, we link this to the specifics of the quarter, not to a market trend. Seems like the DDoS market have re-stabilized — we see no prerequisites for either a fall or further growth. There have been no high-profile arrests or closures of specialized websites for quite some time, and the cryptocurrency market is not showing explosive growth. Nor have any serious vulnerabilities that would facilitate attacks been found recently. Looking at the trends of past years, we expect a slight decline in Q1 2020, yet will hazard a prediction that in absolute terms it will still be higher than the same period for 2019. Last year was an interesting one in the world of DDoS attacks. Let's hope that 2020 decides to be boring.
Kaspersky Lab has a long history of combating cyber threats, including DDoS attacks of all types and complexity. Company experts monitor botnets using the Kaspersky DDoS Intelligence system.
A part of Kaspersky DDoS Protection, the DDoS Intelligence system intercepts and analyzes commands received by bots from C&C servers. The system is proactive, not reactive, meaning that it does not wait for a user device to get infected or a command to be executed.
This report contains DDoS Intelligence statistics for Q4 2019.
In the context of this report, the incident is counted as a single DDoS-attack only if the interval between botnet activity periods does not exceed 24 hours. For example, if the same web resource was attacked by the same botnet with an interval of 24 hours or more, then this is considered as two attacks. Bot requests originating from different botnets but directed at one resource also count as separate attacks.
The geographical locations of DDoS-attack victims and C&C servers used to send commands are determined by their respective IP addresses. The number of unique targets of DDoS attacks in this report is counted by the number of unique IP addresses in the quarterly statistics.
DDoS Intelligence statistics are limited to botnets detected and analyzed by Kaspersky Lab. Note that botnets are just one of the tools used for DDoS attacks, and that this section does not cover every single DDoS attack that occurred during the review period.
Quarter summary
China again took first place in terms of number of attacks, although its share slightly decreased (58.46% against 62.97% in Q3).
Two newcomers entered the Top 10: Japan (straight in at number three with 4.86%) and Vietnam (0.68%), while South Africa and the Netherlands dropped out.
The Top 3 countries by number of targets traditionally coincides with leaders by number of attacks: China (53.07%), the US (22.01%), and Japan (6.14%).
The past quarter was characterized by a low number of attacks: the most active days saw just over 250 attacks, and the quietest only eight.
DDoS botnet activity was distributed fairly evenly throughout the quarter itself and on individual days of the week, with the safest and most dangerous days differing by just 2.5 p.p.
The three longest attacks lasted more than 20 days (494, 492, and 486 hours), which is almost twice as long as last quarter's leader.
Among the attack types, SYN flooding (6%) still leads. The share of TCP-based attacks continued to grow and overtook UDP flooding, while ICMP flooding showed a significant increase.
The ratio of Windows and Linux botnets remained virtually unchanged, with the latter still responsible for the overwhelming majority (97.4%) of attacks.
The number of C&C servers in absolute terms more than halved. In the US, the absolute number changed slightly less, leading to a sharp increase in the country's share in the overall picture (58.33% up from 47.55%), while the Netherlands this quarter fell from second position to the foot of the table.
Attack geography
In the past quarter, China held on to the lead in terms of number of attacks, although its share continued to decline (this time by 4.5 p.p. down to 58.46%). The US position did not change either, remaining in second place, with 17.49% of all attacks (almost the same as last quarter's 17.37%). Third position enjoyed no such stability: Hong Kong, the previous occupier, fell two places to fifth (3.73% against 5.44%), making way for Romania (fourth place with 4.56%, up almost 3.5 p.p.) and Japan, which not only entered the Top 10 for the first time in a year, but shot straight into third place (4.86% against last quarter's 0.2% and 18th place).
Another newcomer to the ranking is Vietnam. Having narrowly failed to reach the Top 10 in Q3 (11th place), at the end of the year the country experienced a rise of 0.13 p.p. in its share of attacks, enough to cross the threshold. South Africa flew out of the Top 10 almost as swiftly as it had flown in, swapping fourth place for 15th. Slightly less sharp, but also significant, was the drop in the share of attacks on targets in the Netherlands, relegating the country to 14th position.
There were no major changes in the rest of the Top 10, only some shuffling of places. Romania rose from sixth place to fourth with 4.56%; South Korea from eighth to seventh (0.94%), and Canada tenth to eighth (0.83%). The UK (1.01%) and Singapore (0.72%), meanwhile, fell slightly — from fifth to sixth and seventh to ninth, respectively.

The geography of unique targets is traditionally similar to the distribution of the attacks themselves. The Top 3 in both cases is identical. The share of targets in China also fell against Q3, down to 53.07%; the US still accounts for around a fifth of targets (22.01%), while Japan's share increased 20-fold to 6.14%.
The Top 5 was again rounded out by Romania and Hong Kong, but in reverse order: this time fourth place went to the latter (4.14%), and fifth to the former (1.95%). The UK (1.53%) retains sixth place in both categories. It is followed by Canada (0.93%) and Vietnam (0.84%). Propping up the Top 10 are Australia (0.82%), up from 14th place over the quarter, and Singapore (0.78%). As such, this quarter's newcomers — Japan, Australia, and Vietnam — squeezed out the leaders by number of unique targets — South Africa, the Netherlands, and France, which occupied 14th, 12th, and 11th places this quarter, respectively.

Dynamics of the number of DDoS attacks
Q4 was even calmer than the preceding quarter. Even on the stormiest days (November 24 and December 11), the number of attacks barely exceeded 250 (recall that last year's likewise relatively calm Q4 experienced a maximum of 457 attacks per day — almost twice as many). The total number of days that saw more than 200 attacks was also small — besides those already mentioned, October 6 and 7 and November 25 were also quite turbulent. Meanwhile, the quietest day, October 13, set a new record with only eight attacks recorded (the previous record-holder being May 25, 2018, with 13 attacks).
Curiously, this year there were no typical Q4 peaks on Black Friday and over Christmas: both periods were reasonably calm, and the attacks throughout the quarter were distributed fairly evenly.

The attack distribution by day of the week also flattened out considerably: the difference between the calmest and most dangerous day was only about 2.5 p.p. (having approached 7.7 p.p. in the previous reporting period). Attack organizers this quarter were particularly busy on Tuesdays (15.46%), and preferred to put their feet up on Thursdays (12.98%). The former first- and second-placed Monday (down 3.5 p.p.) and Sunday (up nearly 2.5 p.p.) showed the biggest change against the preceding quarter.

Duration and types of DDoS attacks
While the number of attacks fell, their duration rose significantly compared to the previous quarter. As such, the three longest attacks in the three-month period were ongoing for more than 20 days (494, 492, and 486 hours), while in the quarter before not a single one lasted 12 days. Nevertheless, the record for duration remains an attack carried out in Q2 2019 (506 hours, more than 21 days).
The average attack duration stayed approximately unchanged, while the share of the longest attacks (more than 140 hours) fell by a third to just 0.08%. Meanwhile, the share of the shortest attacks (up to 4 hours) also dropped in relative terms, decreasing by 2.5 p.p. to 81.86%.
But the proportion of attacks lasting 100–139 hours grew slightly (0.14%), as did attacks lasting 10–19 and 5–9 hours (5.33% and 10.19%, respectively). The two middle groups — attacks lasting 20–49 and 50–99 hours — fell insignificantly to 2.05% and 0.36%, respectively.
Distribution of DDoS attacks by duration (hours), Q3 and Q4 2019 (download)
The share of SYN flooding this quarter amounted to 84.6%, while UDP attacks surrendered second place to TCP, but only by a whisker (5.8% of all attacks against the latter's 5.9%). The popularity of TCP attacks thus continues to grow (recall that last quarter they moved past HTTP flooding). The bottom two places did not change, although the shares of both types in the total number of attacks increased slightly: HTTP gained 0.5 p.p. (2.2%), while ICMP added 1.1 p.p. (1.6%).

Linux botnets did not partake in the growth trend: this quarter their share marginally decreased to 97.4% (against 97.75% in the previous quarter). Accordingly, the share of Windows botnets grew by the same amount (0.35 p.p.) to 2.6%.

Botnet distribution geography
In Q4 last year, the vast majority of botnets (58.33%) were registered in the US (up from 47.55% in the previous quarter). At the same time, the absolute number of C&C servers in the country almost halved.
The UK (14.29%) moved to runner-up spot, and China retained third (9.52%, roughly 3 p.p. higher than the quarter before). Fourth and fifth places this quarter went to Russia (3.57%) and Iran (2.38%), which climbed from 11th place. The combined share of other countries in the distribution of botnets is below 2%.
The most significant drop in the number of C&C servers was observed in the Netherlands, down from 45 to just one. In Germany and Vietnam, both in last quarter's Top 10, no active botnets were registered this quarter.

Q4 2019 saw stability in some areas and sharp changes in others. For instance, in the geographical distribution, Japan broke straight into the Top 3, while two of the previous quarter's newcomers, contrary to the norm, secured a footing in the Top 10. At the same time, the geographical distribution of unique targets traditionally mirrors the distribution of the total number of attacks.
Another notable difference between Q3 and Q4 last year was the number and chronology of attacks. Thus, at the end of the year, the distribution by month, as well as by day of the week, was far more uniform. To the surprise of experts, the traditional peaks on Black Friday and over the Christmas and New Year season did not materialize. The duration of the longest attack almost doubled, coming dangerously close to the record set in Q2 2019.
Tellingly, in the last quarter of the year, the number of both attacks and C&C servers fell sharply, while the number of extra-long attacks (over 400 hours) was the highest ever recorded in the history of our observations. This is perhaps evidence of an upward trend in the number of complex and meticulously planned attacks, albeit at the expense of the total number of attacks.

CEO/Founder of Be Inspired PR, the first full-service public relations agency dedicated to the wedding and special event industry.
Honoring your grandmother or other relative in a company name is sweet and meaningful to you, but it could potentially be confusing for your clients. If your company includes a name that is not your own, clients will always think you are someone else, no matter how much time and money you spend on PR or advertising. I have had many clients that have company names that don't match their own, and I often find myself starting to type an email to them using the wrong name, and I know them personally! If name confusion happens to someone with whom they work closely, imagine how many times they'll be called the wrong name by new and potential clients.
Make it easy for potential clients to recognize the service that you offer or products you sell. While there may be a personal story or an inside joke that led to the creation of your company name, clients do not know that!
You want the name to stick out in your clients' minds to ensure that they will remember you in the future. Be different, but not too different. A distinct company name will help you and your business, but a name that is different to the point of strangeness will turn clients off. Don't get too creative with spelling, either. People will spell your company name the way that makes sense to them when researching online. Keep in mind that your company name is your domain, which is also typically your email address. Choose an easily spelled name and save your colleagues and clients the frustration of bounce backs and lost emails.
My company began when I saw the need for wedding PR in my industry. I was so inspired to come up with the concept of launching the first wedding PR firm to represent wedding businesses. Literally being "inspired" helped me come up with my name and I wanted it to be something that people could feel after they read the name, visited my website and followed my social media accounts, so it was fitting to name my company Be Inspired PR.
Intention is important when choosing your company name. It will dictate how you are searched, referenced and remembered. If you think your company name isn't working for you, don't be afraid to make a change. A bad name will hurt your business more than rebranding with a new name, so make the switch now to maximize sales and grow your brand as quickly as possible.

Those planning a group tour to the United Kingdom will need to utilize both logistics and preplanning to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible Whether you're planning a holiday, wedding, family reunion or similar event, following the tips below and using cheap coach hire will ensure that the occasion is memorable.
The first step in planning a group trip is to figure out who will be going. Everyone has different schedules and responsibilities, and what works for one may not work for another. The best solution is to settle on a date where the largest number of people will be available.
Regardless of the number of people who will be traveling together, it is absolutely essential to designate a group or team leader. This is the person who will be responsible for the planning and coordination, and while other members can be incorporated into the decision making process, only one person should lead and make the final decisions regarding the group. The leader must develop an itinerary, list of activities, where the group will lodge, mode of transportation and what to do in the event of an emergency. The group leader should be mature, wise, and fair and preferably have a greater knowledge of the UK than everyone else.
Embarking on a group tour in the UK can become pricey if a budget isn't established beforehand. Furthermore, each member of your group will differ when it comes to the total amount they can spend. Generally speaking, when establishing a budget you will want to remain at the lower end as much as you can unless you are a group of millionaires whose combined resources are vast. One possible option is for everyone in the group to pool together their money only for costs which are fixed. This means gathering a specific amount which is equally divided, which will be used to cover things such as transportation and lodging. Other expenses like food, activities or shopping can be left to each individual to pay for as they like.
If neither the group leader nor members have travelled to the UK previously, then it will be necessary to conduct research. You will need to look at the lodging options, where the group will stay, what activities you'll engage in, and how much all of will cost. The London metropolitan area will typically be most costly than areas outside, but will also offer the greatest convenience.
Once you've decided on the dates, budget, the accommodations, who will be traveling and who will lead the group, you will now want to book the trip. At this point it is absolutely essential that the booking is made well in advance, so that you can account for schedule changes while giving members enough time to get their passports and affairs in order.
Each group has its own activity level, and generally speaking, the younger the members are, the higher their activity level will be, while a group consisting of older members will usually have a lower activity level. Some members will want to engage in activities that give them an adrenaline rush, such as rollercoaster rides, while other members will want to engage in activities far more relaxing such as an art gallery exhibit. If your group is mixed, ranging from children to seniors, it is best to mix things up, planning some activities which are suitable for children while reserving others for the older members. Child based activities can be held in the mornings and afternoons, while evening entertainment can be reserved for the adults once the kids have become tired and been put to bed.
Your itinerary will be one of the most valuable items in your possession during the trip. Ensure that it is organized by adding the names and phone numbers of every member of the group, along with number for local services, and dates and times for arrivals, daily activities, and any dining reservations you've made.

To whom it may regard,
I am writing to make an open government request for all the information to which I am entitled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 - related to council houses that are in breach of statutory overcrowding rules.
This request refers to statutory overcrowding by both the 'space standard' (determining how many people may occupy a dwelling with regard to the number of sleeping accommodation rooms in the dwelling and floor area of the rooms) and the 'room standard' (determining how many non-cohabiting people aged 10 and over of the opposite sex may share sleeping accommodation) as defined by the Housing Act 1985.
For the calendar years 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 (separately), please tell me:
1) How many statutory overcrowding breaches did the council record for households housed by the council in each year? Please provide a breakdown of breaches by a) space standard and b) room standard, and specify whether households may be captured as both a room and a space standard breach.
2) The number of breaches of the space standard where more than two people have lived in a home with one room
3) The number of breaches of the space standard where more than three people have lived in a home with two rooms
4) The number of breaches of the space standard where more than five people have lived in a home with three rooms
5) The number of breaches of the space standard where more than 7.5 people have lived in a home with four rooms
6) The number of breaches of the space standard where more than 10 people have lived in a home with five rooms
7) For breaches of the room standard, the maximum number of people sleeping in one room as recorded by the council
8) How many households who have applied for council housing are living in temporary accommodation
9) Please list all the types of temporary accommodation the council has placed households in (including but not limited to: shipping containers, caravans, B&Bs, converted office buildings, and any other kind of accomodation).
Please provide the requested data in a spreadsheet format.
If this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the Act, you are required to advise and assist requesters.
I understand that you are required to respond to my request within the 20 working days after you receive this letter. I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request.
For clarity - I am using a Whatdotheyknow account created by my colleagues Claire Wilde and Harriet Clugston - but my name is Carly Roberts.

AUSTIN, TX, June 24, 2015 – Trilogy Automotive announced today that it has entered into an agreement with BMW of North America to support the Company's CRM efforts. The next generation CRM partnership will utilize Trilogy's proven enterprise software capability to create a cohesive CRM solution that tightly integrates consumer data between BMW NA and its dealers. This project will significantly expand the types of data collected and exchanged between BMW NA and its dealer network. Trilogy will also deploy SmartAnalytics, a real-time cutting-edge reporting and business intelligence tool, to enable customers to further evolve the sales process with actionable metric reporting and analysis.
SmartAnalytics offers easy to use dashboards, drillable graphical reports and map views that combine all marketing data together to form an end-to-end solution that intuitively displays a comprehensive view of all marketing activities. This facilitates better customer interactions and increased brand satisfaction.
"We are privileged to be their partner in this terrific effort and look forward to the positive returns it will generate for customers, dealers and of course for our partner itself," said Mike Richards, President, Trilogy Automotive.


No Labels is working on an action plan, and hopes to have it in place in 2012 along with a million members to implement it.
It is not looking to nominate a presidential candidate, although it is watching another centrist group called Americans Elect that has qualified as a political party in California and elsewhere and could field a candidate this year. Backers of Americans Elect have floated such names as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer.
No Labels is more interested in working within Congress to nudge both Republicans and Democrats back to the center.
Main would like to see the day when No Labels can counterbalance someone like the unelected Norquist, who has such clout that he can threaten to defeat a sitting congressman in his next election if the representative does not follow orders. Norquist is known for signing up conservatives to his no-new-tax pledge and then making sure they live by it.
Main would like to see the day when No Labels can respond to that sort of arm-twisting by saying, hey, we're here too, we're centrists, there are a lot of us and you need to listen to us as well.
Although the example she cites is from the Republican Party — most notably its Tea Party wing — that's only because it is where the most strident partisanship happens to be coming from at the moment.
Main, whose voter registration is "decline to state," makes it very clear that she and others in the No Labels movement oppose control of government by any extreme, left or right.

Take an early morning walk in the Botanical Gardens at Asheville, right next to the campus of UNC Asheville. A short and easy half-mile trail takes you over bridges and through the woods to a wildflower meadow. The garden is filled with numerous species, specially focused on those native to the Southern Appalachian Mountains, with small black labels telling you what each is - there are over 600 species of plants, shrubs, trees, flowers, ferns, lichens and mosses, including 50 that are considered rare, in the 10-acre preserve. There are also many benches and places to reflect, and an early morning meditation next to the bubbling creek is a great way to start your day.
Follow yoru walk in the Botanical gardens with breakfast at Homegrown, located at 371 Merrimon Avenue (they also have a location in West Asheville). They serve good, clean, local food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Try the 'Open Face Fried Chicken Biscuit w/ Sausage Gravy, Huevos Rancheros w/ Cheesy Grits, or the Sunshine Bowl. Homegrown is a 'certified green restaurant' - they use solar panels, compostable takeout containers and also compost almost everything from the kitchen. Plus, their food is amazing. They do get busy, and if you go at peak breakfast or lunch time you may find a line, but the food comes out quick once you order, the herbal iced tea is really good (they serve beer and wine as well).
On the edge of the parking lot of Stephens Lee Recreation Center and you'll find the Dr. George Washington Carver Edible Park, a secret garden for even most Asheville locals. This city park was the first Edible park on the east coast, and has over 40 fruit and nut trees that are open to the public for picking and eating. Handmade signs denote the edible plants that are strewn along the walk ways, with City Hall and the Asheville skyline visible just over their leafy tops.
Open 11:30-9 Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, later on Weekends (closed Tuesday).
Laughing Seed has been serving organic, local, and farm-to-table vegetarian cuisine with an international flair downtown Asheville for over 20 years. Even carnivores can find something delicious here from sandwiches to salads to entrees. They also have live juices, smoothies, specialty cocktails, mocktails, and kombucha, along with wine, sake, and local beers.
Tucked into the historic Burton Street neighborhood in West Asheville, the Burton Street Community Peace Garden has been growing produce and uniting the neighbors for over 15 years. But this isn't just a garden - it is also a sculpture park of found and reused items, along with an art museum, hung with key figures in black history. Walking through the park is a thoughtful meditation on where we've been and a hopeful look into the beauty of the future we can create.
Select evening, now through October 7th, 2018, the Biltmore Estate opens the house and gardens Thursday through Sunday nights for special reservations-only viewing of Chihuly's stunning large-scale glass sculptures. Dramatic nighttime lighting has been installed to illuminate the luminous colors and graceful forms of Chihuly's sculptures. Live music, beautiful sunsets and a wine bar make this extra magical. With admission you can also tour the first floor of the Biltmore House, and you get daytime admission to the entire estate as well (including Antler Village and winery which offers complimentary tastings), good for the same day or the following day. Tickets are $70-$85, with discounts available.

Q: AngularJS Form Validation ($invalid, $error, etc.) For the following code:
userType: <input name="input" ng-model="userType" required>
...
myForm.input.$valid = {{myForm.input.$valid}}
myForm.input.$error = {{myForm.input.$error}}

Both $valid and $error will be false if the user touched the input and left it empty.
My question is:

*

*How does angularjs define $valid and $error? For example, $touched has two states (touched or untouched). but what does it mean by "valid" or "invalid"?

*Can I customize or redefine them?

A: $valid simply return a boolean value depending on input is valid or not. But $error provide detail information about the errors. For eg, if you couple of validations setup for a form and all of them are invalid, then the error will show the details description of all the errors.

Kent: The Latest Architecture and News
Artist Alex Chinneck Unzips Derelict 1960s Office Building to Create Mind-Bending Illusion
A post shared by HYPEBEAST Art (@hypebeastart) on Aug 1, 2018 at 9:03am PDT
UK-based artist Alex Chinneck has unveiled his latest architectural installation, transforming the walls of a soon-to-be-demolished 1960s office building on the former Kent Wool Growers site in Ashford, England. "Open to the Public" features an eight-meter-high double zip running down the side of the building, revealing the forlorn interior.
The double zip descending the short elevation is joined by a long single zip running the full length of the building, peeling back the walls and windows in a move inspired by the area's history of textiles and fabric.

James Macdonald Wright and Niall Maxwell's Caring Wood Wins 2017 RIBA House of the Year
Winner: Caring Wood / James Macdonald Wright and Niall Maxwell. Image © James Morris
James Macdonald Wright and Niall Maxwell's reimagining of the English country house, "Caring Wood," has been selected as the 2017 RIBA House of the Year, bestowed annually by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) to the "best new house or house extension designed by an architect in the UK."
Inspired by the traditional 'oast houses' – agricultural buildings used for kilning hops – found in the county of Kent, the house was lauded by the jury for its celebrating of local building crafts and traditions, including the use of handmade peg clay tiles, locally quarried ragstone and coppiced chestnut shingles.

Proposals Unveiled for Kent State's new Architecture College
Richard L. Bowen + Associates Inc. proposal; Courtesy Kent State University
Yesterday, the shortlisted teams for Kent State's new, $40 million College of Architecture and Environmental Design pitched their designs to the Kent community. From "simple and functional to splendidly provocative", these proposals offer a range of innovative solutions that will satisfy Kent's mission to create a modern campus that offers an outstanding academic experience and enriches the greater community of Kent, Ohio.
The four finalists, which were selected from 37 international teams, were challenged to design a 122,000 square foot, sustainable exemplar, possibly capable of achieving net-zero energy, that unites Kent State's architecture program under one roof, while inspiring interdisciplinary collaboration within flexible learning spaces.

2011 matR Project: "The Passage"
© Victoria Capranica
A team of graduate students recently created a temporary installation on the Kent State University, Kent campus in Ohio. The project grew out of an internal challenge in the matR design competition. Designed by graduate students Brian Thoma, Carl, Veith, Victoria, Capranica, Matt Veith, and Griffin Morris, the tunnel-like structure called "The Passage" was a study to support the conceptualization and actualization of innovative and experimental material research. The students created the initial form in Rhinoceros with a couple Grasshopper definitions as a waffle structure of 26 vertical ribs and 24 horizontal struts. More images and information after the break.

Dormant Is Not Dead – Devotions for young women and teen girls.
The seeds you plant grow into trees. You'll be excited when they inch higher and higher and blossoms that appear morph into fruit. But a time will always come when the fruit has all seen harvest, the leaves will fall and the cold tree feels like it won't outlast the frost.
Don't forget in winter seasons the hope of spring green leaves, the joy of summer shade and the taste of fall harvest. Dormant is not dead. Don't abandon what you've planted.
