Cybercriminals opting for real-time malware campaigns and phishing
The third quarter of 2013 saw further use of real-time malware campaigns and a dramatic increase in phishing sites, according to Commtouch.
The ever-growing exploitation of current news events continued in Q3. The time between the news event and the related malware attack has steadily decreased throughout the year and now averages only 22 hours. Real-time malware campaigns in Q3 used news of royal baby Prince George, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, and the Syria crisis.
The number of phishing sites increased dramatically during Q3 by almost 35%. PayPal phishing sites alone accounted for approximately 750 new phishing sites each day.
A small decrease of 5% could be seen in the number of malicious websites listed in Commtouch's GlobalView URL database. Travel websites were the most popular website category for malware distributors, followed by transportation and business websites. Education, which was number one in Q2, fell to number six.
"The Q3 Trend Report highlights that the complexity of cybercriminal attacks is increasing," said Lior Kohavi, CTO at Commtouch. "Their campaigns are usually targeting end users — to protect the users, Internet service providers, email hosters, and content providers must be aware of these trends and continually improve their tools to fight these cybercriminals."
In the third quarter of 2013, spam levels continued to drop. The average daily amount of spam for the quarter was 69 billion messages compared to the second quarter's 83 billion — a drop of approximately 17%. Although the quarterly level is the lowest in more than four years, the average per month had been increasing since June's historic low of 63 billion messages per day until the drop in September. During Q3, spam represented 70% of all emails sent globally, dropping as low as 62% at the start of August.
The most popular spam topic was dieting with a share of 40.2% (in Q2 it took position three, with 10.8%). Stock spam moved from 7th position (4.7%) in Q2 to 2nd position (20%) — so called penny stock spam could be seen on a regular basis in the last quarter.
The average daily amount of malware found in emails remained almost unchanged compared to last quarter at nearly 2 billion emails per day. This average hides the steady increase from July to September which included outbreaks of double the daily average.
India remains the world's top zombie hoster: During the third quarter of 2013, India stayed in first place with the most spam-sending bots — although their share dropped by 6% to 13.2%. Russia appeared to absorb most of this percentage and moved from 8th place into 2nd. New entries include Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, and Spain, while the United States, Serbia, and Mexico dropped out of the top 15.

Planned topics for today's "Don't Let It Go…Unheard": Does looking at the "context" of Obama's "you didn't build that" remark help or hurt him? We'll look at the arguments which make up that context and let you decide. Also, is Romney effectively answering Obama on this issue? Then, we'll take a detailed look at "The Dark Knight Rises" (spoiler alert will be provided for those who haven't seen it yet, so you can tune out and listen to the recorded podcast if necessary — but go see it ASAP).
Today's live show, and then later the archive recording, can be accessed here.

I would like to see the Colorado shooter be given brain scans/examinations as part of the pre-trial proceedings (Is he fit to stand trial ? Does he understand the charges etc.). We might learn something which could be a basis for further research. Is this legal and proper ? Is it ever done ?
I don't know much criminal law, but I think he'd have to plead insanity, which would make such evidence relevant, before that would be done. We'll have to watch to see what happens in the coming weeks/months. I read that he took Vicodin in advance of the massacre, but then what about the rigging of his apartment with all those explosives, and all the planning he did beforehand?
Politically, the movie seemed politically incoherent, as well as having some apparent plot inconsistencies.
Conservatives rave about how conservative the movie was, but that is grading on a curve. Throwing in a few bits to appeal to conservatives, does not make a conservative movie, and definitely not a Randian libertarian one.
Just one point for now. Consider the divide between nobless oblige capitalism vs. Randian/libertarian capitalism. The movie fariy clearly came down on the side of the former.On the one hand, the only capitalism is good period statement was made by the villain Daggett when criticizing Wayne's clean energy investments. On the other, the concept that capitalism is good when the profits are given to charity was hammered home.
The movie did not glorify the world of entrepreneurial capitalism. We did not see many shopkeepers, small-to-mid-size businessmen, etc. Imagine John F. Kerry watching this movie. He'd love it. He'd see himself as a Bruce Wayne type (absent the charitable giving) in his proper social place permanently atop the masses (who would have anarchy without him) and without any threat to his social status from the absent pesky entrepreneurs.
Can you give other examples? The political examples that I focused on had to do with the movie's depiction of the danger of nihilism piggy-backing on socialism/egalitarianism, which, in the context of the movie, would imply a preference for either capitalism or the mixed economy, I assume. But other ideas we discussed were the importance of honesty, the ability of human beings to overcome great obstacles, primarily through thought and will, and the importance of the fundamental alternative of life and death — i.e., non-political ideas.
Isn't the objectivist view of charitable giving more one of admitted self-gratification than either noblesse oblige or a socially-imposed duty? The movie seemed to reflect the latter two. As for the profits aspect, it also reflected a leftist view of how corporations operate in that they have the ability to simply decide to increase profits.
The movie did not glorify the world of entrepreneurial capitalism. We did not see many shopkeepers, small-to-mid-size businessmen, etc. (we also did not see too many gang members, etc. – the mob was more generic). Imagine John F. Kerry watching this movie. He'd love it. He'd see himself as a Bruce Wayne type (absent the charitable giving) in his proper social place permanently atop the masses (who would have anarchy without him) and without any threat to his social status from the absent pesky entrepreneurial classes.
Rather than being a consistent conservative/libertarian the filmmakers probably intended to keep things ambiguous to appeal to the entire political spectrum, with a moderate leftist bent.
Take the subject of "clean energy". To appeal to leftists: 1) there was no government crony-capitalist Solyndra aspect (if they wanted to appeal to conservatives, Wayne industries would have been bankrupted by being forced to adopt a failed technology advocated by a friend of the President); 2) the technology worked; 3) the technology was mocked by one of the only two pure evil guys (the stereotypical Hollywood capitalist Daggett, the other being Stryver played by a guy who looks like Willem DaFoe after a bad face lift; Bane being revealed as a fallen good guy); 4) nuclear reactors become nuclear bombs really easily. To appeal to conservatives: 1) nuclear power is clean energy; 2) it was privately funded.
As for the nihilism piggy backing on egalitarianism,even if correct, I think you are reading too much into it at an intellectual level well beyond the visceral responses that the 99% experience. They respond to the most unsubtle stimuli.
How was Bane a fallen good guy? Why because he helped Ra Al Ghul's daughter escape? He's always been a part of the league of shadows. He was her body guard. Hardly, a fallen good guy. Even hitler liked german children. Nolan's point about the nuclear reactor was that in the hands of a nihilists who despises profit such as bane/talia it can be used for evil in the hands of a wealthy guy like Bruce Wyane it can be used to do good. Amy is 100% right about Wyane's voluntary charity to Orphanes. It is Something he values very much because he use to be one. Amy also never made the claim that this was a conservative movie nor that it was explicitly pro-capitalist. Though, that scene where the cop won't protect the people inside the stock exchange and then that other cop explains to him how it actually works and effects him was a capitalist freindly scene. You seem to be thinking about this movie on a strictly policial level. Nolan doesn't really go there in his movies he's more concerned with plot, characters, emotions, and ethics. He also totally believes in the three v's values, virtues and volition. For example, look at cat woman she starts out as a robinhood/oliver twist type of character then discovers in the scene where she said "this house use to be so beautiful" which was followed up with her friend saying "now it's everybodies home" that her ideology was wrong. Which is why she helped Batman defeat Bane.
"You seem to be thinking about this movie on a strictly policial level." Yes, that was what I tried to say to ctlaw in my initial response, pointing out the non-political ideas in the film that are consistent with Objectivism. Thanks!
You're welcome, Amy. I knew you were analyzing it on a fundamental level. By the way this is your little buddy, Zack. Incase, you didn't know.
I liked how The Dark Knight Rises had an anti-libertarian/anarchist line, too. If I remember correctly, "There's only one police in this town–and it isn't you." A more profound point than the Judeo-Christian quip in The Avengers ("There's only one God–and he doesn't look like you").

Q: django concurrency request two url, each request header is wrong to each url concurrency to request django app with two url, each url request header I give one id, like urla id=1, urlb id=2, but when i get from django view from request header, I get urla's id from request header is 2 ...so confused...post body is ok
client code
#coding=utf-8
import threadpool

import requests

HOST = 'http://127.0.0.1:8000'
urls = ['/health', '/x2']
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'HOST': 'xx.com'}

pool = threadpool.ThreadPool(5)

def request_api(n):
    url = urls[n%2]
    print('---------------------start request url {}'.format(url))
    headers.update(url=url)
    body = dict(
        url=url
    )
    r = requests.post(url=HOST + url, headers=headers, json=body)
    print(r.status_code)

reqs = threadpool.makeRequests(request_api, range(5))
[pool.putRequest(req) for req in reqs]
pool.wait()
print('over')

server code
# coding=utf-8
from rest_framework.views import APIView

    def post(self, request, request_id='', **kwargs):
        print('api_health_check: {},{},{}'.format(request.path, request.META.get('HTTP_URL'), request.data))
        return HttpResponse("ok")

api_health_check2: /x2,/x2,{u'url': u'/x2'}
api_health_check: /health,/health,{u'url': u'/health'}

attention one of them have wrong,path not match META's content,body is ok

A: I am sorry, I found the problem, not django problem, it is my fault.
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'HOST': 'xx.com'}

headers is a global variable, concurrent request can concurrent modify this header, so request django, django get wrong header

Q: ComboBox not going into proper cell I have the following function:
Sub AddComboBox(ByVal strName As String, ByVal strTableName As String, ByVal iColumn As Integer, ByVal rIndex As Integer, ByVal cIndex As Integer, Optional ByVal strSetTo As String)
Dim vArr As Variant
vArr = GetTableKeys(strTableName, iColumn)
pos = Application.Match(strSetTo, vArr, False)
Worksheets("C&E Editor").DropDowns.Add(xlDropDown, Left:=Cells(rIndex, cIndex).Left, Top:=Cells(rIndex, cIndex).Top, Width:=Cells(rIndex, cIndex).Width, Height:=Cells(rIndex, cIndex).Height).Select
With Selection
    For i = LBound(vArr) To UBound(vArr)
       .AddItem vArr(i)
    Next i
    .Name = "cmb" + strName
    On Error GoTo setPos
    .ListIndex = pos
End With
Exit Sub
setPos:
    pos = 1
End Sub

being called by:
AddComboBox "Controller", "controllers", 1, CurrentRowIndex, 3

But every time the function is called the ComboBox is added to the correct row, but is always in column 1.
I have a function to add check boxes and is very similar, it uses the same variables rIndex and cIndex but it puts the checkboxes in the proper columns.
Everything works except the positioning.
The checkbox code is...
 Sub AddCheckBox(ByVal rIndex As Integer, ByVal cIndex As Integer, ByVal OnOff As Integer, Optional ByVal caption As String = "")
    Worksheets("C&E Editor").CheckBoxes.Add(Cells(rIndex, cIndex).Left, Cells(rIndex, cIndex).Top, Cells(rIndex, cIndex).Width, Cells(rIndex, cIndex).Height).Select
    With Selection
        .caption = caption
        .Value = OnOff
        .LinkedCell = Cells(rIndex, 14)
        .Display3DShading = True
    End With
 End Sub

A: You need to remove the xlDropDown part:
Worksheets("C&E Editor").DropDowns.Add(Left:=Cells(rIndex, cIndex).Left, Top:=Cells(rIndex, cIndex).Top, Width:=Cells(rIndex, cIndex).Width, Height:=Cells(rIndex, cIndex).Height).Select

The Purdue Boilermakers have added the Missouri Tigers and the Virginia Tech Hokies to their future football schedules, plus they have altered their series with Notre Dame, the school announced in a release today.
In the first game of a home-and-home series, Purdue will travel to face Missouri at Faurot Field in Columbia on Sept. 16, 2017. The Boilermakers will then host the Tigers at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette on Sept. 15, 2018.
Purdue and Missouri have met eight times overall and the Boilermakers lead the series 6-2. In their last meeting in 1980, Purdue came out on top 28-25 in the Liberty Bowl.
Purdue has also scheduled a home-and-home series with the Virginia Tech Hokies. The Boilermakers will host the Hokies in their first ever meeting on Sept. 19, 2015. Purdue will then travel to face Tech at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg on Sept. 9, 2023.
Due to the Big Ten moving to a nine-game conference schedule in 2016 and Notre Dame signing an agreement with the ACC, the Purdue-Notre Dame series has been altered significantly.
The first change involves the 2014 game which is slated for Sept. 13. Previously a Notre Dame home game, the contest will move to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and will be the "Shamrock Series" game for the Irish. It will kickoff at 7:30pm ET on NBC.
The second and biggest change is that Purdue and Notre Dame will no longer meet annually. The two schools were slated to meet at Purdue in 2015, 2017, and 2019 and at Notre Dame in 2016 and 2018. However, those five contests have been canceled.
After the 2014 meeting, Purdue and Notre Dame will not play again until Sept. 19, 2020 when the Irish visit West Lafayette. Purdue will later host Notre Dame on Sept. 14, 2024.
The Boilermakers will travel to Notre Dame on Sept. 18, 2021 and Sept. 13, 2025. Then in 2026, Notre Dame and Purdue will meet at a neutral site to be determined.
Purdue also announced two other schedules changes — a home game vs. Eastern Kentucky that was scheduled for Sept. 9, 2017 will be moved to Sept. 3, 2016. A home game with Cincinnati was previously slated for Sept. 3, 2016 and will move to Sept. 10, 2016.
I agree with you Josh. What makes things worse is they could have played the game. We had a week scheduled in October of 2016. They are apparently playing in Provo during that time.
That is too long of a break. Tonight WGN blamed it on the ACC agreement in 2015 and on an "overly aggressive" road schedule in 2016 (road games in September at Texas, October at BYU and November at USC). USC was expected, but hearing tonight that ND is going to UT and BYU? That was news to me. So what is the story why we can't play 2017-2019?
Here is to hoping we can get ND and Purdue back on the field without a half a decade break.
The Big Ten should dump Notre Dame altogether. They don't want to be part of the BIG, so drop their traditional; games vs. Purdue and MSU, since their annual game with Michigan is already done. Let them develop new "rivalries" with the likes of Ga Tech, Virginia, Duke, NC State and Clemson.
Well, Notre Dame actually had a long running rivalry with Georgia Tech before GT went to the ACC…. And with Pittsburgh… and Miami…. and Florida State…. and Boston College….. so…..
So, they've played Purdue more times and longer than ANY of those other schools David listed below. Sad to see this series being shuffled to the background, but this is all from the results of the conference realignment wave that blew across the nation a few years ago.
I do like that Purdue has replaced them with an up and coming Missouri team though.
That's not the kind of decision the Big Ten makes at the conference level. They leave that to individual teams.
With ND adding five ACC games to their locked in Navy and USC/Stanford home/away pair, and a desire to regularly play in the Southeast & Texas, it leaves room for about one BigTen game per season, which will normally be either Purdue or MSU (not even one in 2015, since they had to give the ACC an extra game in 2015 to make up for being one game short in 2014).
For both Purdue and MSU, the extra national exposure you get from playing against even a mediocre Notre Dame team is worth scheduling that game when ND has space on its schedule, even if it isn't an annual OOC rivalry game.
I am not surprised ND is going to BYU in 2016, it is the return game of trips to South Bend in 2012 and 2013.
It's clearly the result of Conference realignment because all the moving and shaking the past few years forced Notre Dame to link itself to a conference and give five games a year to the ACC so, it is like they are sort of in the ACC now. Which has taken an effect of the Irish schedule that we are all seeing now and the big loser is the Big Ten opponents that used to face the Irish annually. Nothing any of us can do about it though.
ND should DUMP the big preTENd! They have the softest non-conference games of any conference. They are currently 0-2 in Bowl Games (SHOCKER!!!) and 0-4 if you count Maryland and Rutgers (2014 Big preTend teams).
Maybe the Big PreTENd would earn more respect by scheduling tougher teams and ACTUALLY beating one or two!
Ohio State had a two season winning streak in which they did not play ONE team that was ranked in the BCS Top 25===>WEAK!!!!
Notre Dame have traditionally scheduled weak opponents. They then ensure themselves a good record, a bowl at the end of year, and boast (In their own mind) what a powerhouse they feel they are. Lining up with the ACC ensures they only have to play a couple of tough games each year.
DON'T DRINK THE GREEN KOOL AID!!!!


In China you have to scan your face first in order to use the public toilets. Sounds crazy, but is true and it actually helps the environment! How? Galileo Reporter Olcay and his team travel to Beijing, China in order to find out why this machine is so essential for the country.

February's Snow Moon Is a Time to Recharge and Reevaluate Your Life
Snow Moon February 2022 Spiritual Meaning
21 December 2021 by Hedy Phillips
February may bring short, dark days and a lot of cold weather (for some parts of the world), but this February can also bring a renewed energy into your life. If you follow the moon cycles and live by the stars, you already know that each month's full moon has a different meaning and a different purpose for your life. The snow moon for 2022 — which you can see halfway through February — signals something for each zodiac sign. We spoke to an astrologer to learn more about what this moon means for you.
Why Is It Called the Snow Moon?
Like many of the full moons throughout the year, the snow moon is named for what's currently happening — February is snowy! According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, "in the 1760s, Captain Jonathan Carver, who had visited with the Naudowessie (Dakota), wrote that the name used for this period was the Snow Moon, 'because more snow commonly falls during this month than any other in the winter.'"
When Is the Full Snow Moon in 2022?
The snow moon will be at its peak on 16 Feb., 2022, at 4:57 p.m. GMT.
What Sign Is the Snow Moon in February?
February's snow moon for 2022 will be in Leo.
What Is the Spiritual Meaning of the Snow Moon?
"The snow moon is full of staggering spiritual revelation and purpose," said astrologer Rebecca Moore of We Love Horoscope. "It signifies renewal in the spirit. The snow moon gives people a chance to reset and reevaluate. It's about new dreams and overcoming past hurts, forging forward with greater sense of purpose." Moore also noted that while February is a notoriously chilly month, this particular February is one for building cosy relationships and having a brighter outlook.
What Does the Snow Mean For Zodiac Signs?
Aquarius: If you've just been phoning it in lately — which is understandable in a damp, chilly month — it's time to wake up. "The snow moon requires investment in what this star loves doing best rather than going through motions," Moore said.
Pisces: Though Pisces loves to be generous and put others first, February is a time to step back from that and instead look at what you need. Moore said, "It will be time for introspection, time to recharge so that you can load up for yourself."
Aries: "The snow moon brings renewed focus, and it is vital you tap into this energy," Moore said. Keep trudging forward, even on the days when it's hard.
Taurus: It's time to stop being a people-pleaser, because you'll never please everyone, Moore said. Instead, focus on your own self, and start leaving behind anyone who doesn't bring value to your life.
Gemini: Healing is a process that you'll continually go through, including during this snow moon. Pain and hurting "will no longer cripple you," Moore said.
Cancer: "It is fine to keep seeking the right answers, because you are good at it," Moore said, adding that it's important to let the stars guide you.
Leo: You may want to control everything in your life, but you really don't have to. Moore said, "Everything does not have to work exactly the way you picture it. Trust that the right energy will come your way. It is fine to relax."
Virgo: You know all that stuff you've been putting off for later? Now's the time to do it. You'll be so glad you did.
Libra: The festive season may have stressed you out a bit because you're such a planner, and if you didn't start to relax in January, take February to do just that. Moore said, "It is never that serious, and taking time out will do you so much good."
Scorpio: It's time to let go of what doesn't serve you or bring you joy, Moore said. Remove any and all excess from your life this month, and focus on your own happiness.
Sagittarius: Routines can be great for productivity, but after too long, you start to lose momentum and can even forget what you're working toward. This February, it's time to figure it out. Moore said, "Finding the spark to overcome routine is what this star needs to think about more."
Capricorn: It's easy to lose track of goals during the festive season and instead focus on just enjoying yourself. That's totally fine and good for your soul, but now that it's the new year, Moore said, it's time to recentre. "It is about focusing on priorities and getting back on course," she said.
When Is the Next Snow Moon?
The full moon following February's snow moon is March's worm moon on 18 March, 2022. The snow moon in 2023 will be on 5 Feb.

Have you ever gone for a downhill ride and kept your arms straight? Neither has ION. That is why ION designed the E-Pact with a pre-shaped, almost 90° angle to reduce fatigue and provide a wrinkle-free fit. ION knows about the pros and cons of visco elastic foams. But freedom of movement is the most important function an elbow guard needs to offer. So ION went back and integrated the simple but unmatched hard cap in combination with high quality memory foam padding for optimal protection and comfort. Updated sleeve construction using very breathable Super_Perforator_Neoprene.
3D-shaped Ionic_Fit: The human body is neither cylindrical nor symmetrical. Thus, you have to forget about flat 2D patterns. ION uses their expertise in tailoring body-fitting wetsuits to shape anatomic fitting pads for a natural riding position.
Power_Aramid: Power_Aramid is a synthetic fiber originally developed by DuPont. Today it's used for a range of applications from bulletproof helmets via tires to bow strings. It offers outstanding tear resistance and tensile strength.
Super_Perforator_Neoprene: Very flexible and robust neoprene with superior breathability. Of course not if compared with a mesh fabric. But for neoprene it is the most breathable one ION used to date.

Anna Bahr-von Mildenburg (1872-1947)
Anna Bahr-von Mildenburg (1872-1947).
Profession: Soprano. Residences: Hamburg, Vienna, London.
Relation to Mahler: Love relationship, Pernerstorfer Circle (member), worked with Gustav Mahler.
Correspondence with Mahler: Yes.
00-00-0000, Year
Born: 29-11-1872, Vienna, Austria.
Died: 27-01-1947 Waidhofen an der Ybbs, Austria.
Buried: 00-00-0000 Community Cemetery, Salzburg, Austria.
1896 Concert Hamburg 02-04-1896.
1897 Concert Hamburg 30-01-1897 (piano).
1901 Concert Vienna 17-02-1901 - Das Klagende Lied (Premiere).
1902 Concert Vienna 20-01-1902 - Symphony No. 4, Das Klagende Lied.
Anna von Mildenburg was an eminent Wagnerian soprano of Austrian nationality. Known as Anna Bahr-Mildenburg after her 1909 marriage, she had been a protégé of the composer/conductor Gustav Mahler during his musical directorship at the Hamburg State Opera. In 1898, Mahler took her to the Vienna Opera, where she established herself as one of the great stars during his celebrated tenure there as music director.
Anna Bellschan von Mildenburg, to give her full maiden name, was born in Vienna, the Austrian capital. She studied voice with Rosa Papier and Johannes Ress at the Conservatory of Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, and then privately with Cosima Wagner and Mahler. She had an affair with the latter which lasted until 1897.
Von Mildenburg made her operatic debut in 1895 at Hamburg, singing the role of Brünnhilde in The Ring Cycle under Mahler's baton. Then, in 1897, she performed the role of Kundry in Parsifal at the Bayreuth Festival, and also took on the mezzo-soprano part of Ortrud in Tannhäuser. Cosima Wagner, the composer's widow, became her mentor at Bayreuth, and she proceeded to perform all the main Wagnerian soprano parts at the festival prior to the outbreak of World War I in 1914.
Married to: Hermann Bahr (1863-1934).
Gustav Mahler first brought her to the Vienna State Opera in 1898, where she was put on a contract and soon experienced enormous success. In her first season alone she earned 14,000 gulden (about €112,000 in 2008). Her stature at the opera house equaled that of Mahler, who was then the establishment's director of music. She would perform at the Vienna State Opera until 1917, and then again in 1919-1920. Among her most celebrated performances during this period was an assumption of Isolde's role in a famous production of Tristan und Isolde mounted under Mahler's leadership.
She knew Gustav Mahler before he went to Vienna. Her debut in Hamburg 1895 was conducted by Gustav Mahler. They had a relation in Hamburg from the beginning of 1895 until 1897. According to Natalie Bauer the relationship was strictly platonic. 80 pieces of correspondence betwee the two have survived. She worked from 1898 until 1917 at The Hofoper in Vienna and married writer Hermann Bahr in 1909. A lof of information about Gustav Mahler is in her memoirs "Erinnerungen" (1921). Anna von Mildenburg is the only woman in Mahlers life who cannot be said to have been conventionally beautiful: in her case the critical factor was, rather, the power of a woman who can only be described as demonic.
Away from Vienna, von Mildenburg sang to acclaim in London at The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, performing Isolde and Elizabeth in Tannhäuser there in 1906, as well as Klytemnestra in the first London production of Richard Strauss' Elektra. Her repertoire was not confined, however, to works by Strauss and Wagner. She also appeared in Beethoven's Fidelio, Bellini's Norma, Mozart's Don Giovanni and Weber's Oberon during the course of her career.
From 1922 to 1927, von Mildenburg was a guest artist at the Salzburg Festival, appearing in Hugo von Hofmannsthal's stage work Das Salzburger grosse Welttheater, among other productions. After retiring from opera, she gave singing lessons in Munich, Germany. Among those she instructed in Munich were Lilian Benningsen, Fritz Schaetzler, and the renowned Wagnerian tenor, Lauritz Melchior, who consulted her in 1922. After 1929, she taught voice at the International Mozarteum Summer Academy in Salzburg, Austria, but she returned briefly to the stage in 1930 to sing one last Klytemnestra at Augsburg.
She eventually retired from teaching because of the exigencies of the Second World War and died in 1947. Together with her husband, the Austrian author, playwright and critic Hermann Bahr, she is buried in a place of honor in the Salzburg Community Cemetery.
Only one rare recording by von Mildenburg is known to have survived. It consists of part of the aria "Ocean! thou mighty monster", sung in German, from Oberon by Carl Maria von Weber. Made in 1904, the recording has been re-issued on CD on the Marston and Symposium labels. It substantiates her reputation as a first-class singer of impressive power and authority, possessing strong high notes and producing a steady emission of rounded tone during the years of her prime.
Apparently, she was also a memorable if stylised actress with a strong stage presence. She even published a singers' guide in 1936 on how to act and gesture in Wagner in accordance with what she called the "authentic" Bayreuth method.

As the strike makes national news I am finding along with many teachers that many people are weighing in on the strike who really have no idea what is going on and are basing their opinions off a 2 minute news clip. Here are the talking points and explanation I will share with my family.
B) Every Teacher in Chicago wants nothing more to be teaching our students. This is the career we chose so it is offensive to suggest that we do not care about or walked out on our students.
C) The media does a poor job of portraying the real issues that teachers in Chicago are upset about so I will try my best to explain and help you to understand the many misrepresentations being portrayed in the media.
We did not turn down a 16% raise. This comment is out of context. A teacher makes 16% more their 20th year teaching than they did their 1st year teaching. We did not turn this down (it actually hasn't been offered). What we did turn down was 2% raise for this year. We are being asked to work a 4.5% longer school year. It doesn't matter what profession you are in, working 4.5% longer for 2% is a bad deal.
Chicago has a tendency to close schools for invalid reasons. We believe that if a school is struggling it should receive help, not closure. When a crime goes up in an area, more police are brought in, the station located there is not closed. In Chicago, they close schools instead of providing help. When a school is closed the entire school staff is fired no matter what (teachers, custodians, secretaries etc). We want a recall policy that gives priority to teachers who were let go due to these unjust closures and who had received good evaluations, to have first chance at getting new jobs.
As teachers we always want to get better at our profession. Yet we do not want an evaluation policy that is based on student standardized test scores. Standardized tests do not prove learning (research proves this). We want to be evaluated and given feedback through observations from our administrators and we want them to have proper training on how to do this.
We believe that teachers should be rewarded for the more years they teach. We understand this is not how it works in all professions, ours may be unique. We believe this because, research shows that teacher experience is one of the two most important factors in students' educational growth.
We also believe that teachers should be rewarded for continuing their education through master's and PhD programs in order to be better teachers.
It is a lie that Chicago has the shortest school day in the country. This lie has been repeated over and over again and suddenly it is now believed to be true by many. This is not true and there is proof of this. The union proposed a way to make for a longer school day last fall, yet CPS rejected this offer. Simply by giving the teachers in elementary schools lunch and recess Chicago would lengthen the school day.
We want PE, Art, World Languages for every student in the city and we want these things every day.
There are only 370 psychologists, social workers, and nurses for the 400,000 students in CPS. In my school for example we only have a nurse on Friday and only have a social worker on Monday and Wednesday. This is common across all schools. We find this unacceptable and offensive. Our mayor would not tolerate this for his children and we do not tolerate it for ours.
My school has 1 counselor for all 400 students and a library with no librarian. Again this in unfair and unjust.
One thing to remember is that a budget is a political document not a financial one. It is about priorities and CPS chooses to not place its priorities into public education. CPS is giving $100 million to charter schools even though research shows charter schools do no better than public schools.
10) We also are offended by having a school board with zero educators on it.
How do you explain the intricacies of education and make sure all the necessary things get put into a contract with someone who has never taught. There has been 50 contract negotiations since Nov. 2011 and CPS has not wanted to talk about anything important until now. Eventually we couldn't wait any longer to do the right thing for our students, our schools, and ourselves.
So I please ask you to be respectful and know that a 1 minute news clip does not explain all that is going on in Chicago. I would ask you to watch a video clip that helps explain the issues.
The clip is Pauline Lipman a education professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago explaining the situation in Chicago.
Once you have watched the clip and read my points I would be happy to talk in more detail about whether you agree or disagree with what we are doing. I am working to get a fair contract for my students, myself and my school. Teachers want to be teaching, so please take the time to educate yourself, before you attack me, my profession or my colleagues.
Is there any proof of this? If so, I'd love to stick it to a few friends of mine who have been running off in the mouth about teachers.

I was in the National Archives at Kew today researching some history of microbiological research and I came across an oddity. It was a paper written by a Martin Blank, issued by the Office of Naval Research's London branch office in July 1975. It's title is 'Interdisciplinary approaches to science – bioelectrochemistry and biorheology as new developments in physiology'. There are several things that odd about it – at least surprising to me.
The paper is ONR-funded science studies – sociology and philosophy of science. The author is a physiologist who wants to know why biology is becoming more 'interdisciplinary' and what are the causes of the rise of 'hybrid disciplines'. He discusses briefly the well known examples of molecular biology and the application of x-ray crystallography to questions of biological structure, but moves on to consider his two more obscure case studies – bioelectrochemistry and biorheology (the science of flow in biological systems).
It starts with an outline of Popper and Kuhn – the usual suspects. But it moves on to cite some authors who have rather dropped out of STS view. For example, there's a discussion of the geographer RJ Horvath's notion of the expansion of "machine space" as a master narrative of human history. As machines have exapanded they have encroached on "space that is normally occupied or utilised by people". Horvath had a paper in Geographical Review in 1974 that I'm tempted to chase up.
There are other odd things, not least the fact that the ONR had a London branch office. Who knew? I hadn't heard of it before, and I wonder what else it did. I'm guessing that its brief was simply to channel ONR funded research findings to a UK audience. perhaps it funded more sociology and philosophy of science?
My father, Dr. Edward I. Salkovitz, was a division chief at the ONR London Branch Office (its name at the time) from 1970-72. Among other duties, he was a liaison to the scientific community.

Филип фон Даун-Оберщайн (; * 1463; † 12 февруари 1515, Бон-Попелсдорф) е като Филип II фон Даун архиепископ и курфюрст на Кьолн (1508 – 1515).

Живот
Той е четвъртият син на Вирих IV фон Даун-Оберщайн († 1 май 1501) и съпругата му Маргарета фон Лайнинген-Дагсбург-Хартенбург († 1516/1525), дъщеря на граф Емих VII фон Лайнинген-Харденбург, фогт в Елзас († 1452) и маркграфиня Беатрикс фон Баден (1400 – 1452).
От малък Филип е определен за духовна кариера. Той става през 1463 г. домхер в Кьолнската катедрала, 1488 г. схолатик и 1489 г. катедрален декан в Кьолн (1489 – 1508), домхер в Трир, катедрален приор в Страсбург 1499 г., каноник в Св. Ламберт в Лиеж (1506 – 1511).

Кьолнският катедрален капител го избира на 13 ноември 1508 г. за архиепископ на Кьолн. Печели срещу херцог Ерих фон Саксония-Лауенбург, който изтегля кандидатурата си и става епископ на Мюнстер. Помазан е на 14 ноември 1509 г. от епископа на Лиеж, Ерхард фон Марк.

Както предшественика му той има конфликти с град Кьолн. Той свиква провинциални събори.

Филип фон Даун-Оберщайн умира в Бон-Попелсдорф и е погребан до предшественика му Херман фон Хесен в Кьолнската катедрала.

There are transwomen and transmen. May I now suggest the "transfamily."
If being trans is a natural occurrence rather than a nurtured development, doesn't it make sense that it might be genetic, too?
And I am sure you have heard about crossdressing siblings, crossdressing fathers and sons and crossdressing mothers and daughters.
Now with more and more people coming out as trans, more families are discovering that crossdressing within a family is not a solo occurrence ― it can be a family affair.

Femulating at Downey, California, High School in 1995.
I knew someone when I was still living in Florida who transitioned MtF. The first time she went home to visit her mom (father was deceased) after she went full time, after about three days it occurred to her mom was having to easy a time accepting her. So she asked. She found out her father was a crossdresser. A few months later, she got a call from her daughter who lived several states away with the ex-wife. My friend said her daughter kind of just rambled about stuff for a while before she came out as FtM. My friend told her daughter she needed to come down for a visit as everything wasn't always what it seemed. So three generations in her family. I also knew a parent/child who were both post-op MtF. There has to be genetics in there...no other explanation.
I know of one trans woman from the Naugatuck CT area, when she informed her family that she was transitioning her cousin said she was also transiting. And it turned out that another cousin told her that she crossdressed.
I just saw an article about a brother and sister (teens) who are transitioning to sister and brother. And, closer to home, I would not be surprised if my brother played dress-up on occasion.
I know it's anecdotal, I know a transitioned transgender woman who's father was transgender.
I had a friend on flickr who's Dad was a crossdresser.
This has gone unnoticed for long now.

Wiregrass Canyon (Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, UT)
Posted on July 1, 2021 by Andrew Wojtanik
Wiregrass Canyon, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, May 2021
Highly weathered and rimmed with chalky hoodoos, natural arches, and tafoni, Wiregrass Canyon is an intriguing side drainage in southern Utah's Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The relatively-accessible canyon eventually empties into Glen Canyon and (what's left of) the reservoir at Lake Powell. Those wishing to shorten the lengthier three miles each way to the waterline, however, can instead opt for a shorter alternative: a 1.6-mile out-and-back to the first of two natural bridges in the canyon, a terrific sight where floods have gradually whittled a hole between two sandy washes in close proximity. This report describes a moderately-difficult round-trip to and from the natural bridge, which should take between 1-2 hours.
Map of Wiregrass Canyon, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area; created using alltrails.com (Check out the PDF version and interactive map)
Like many attractions in the area, reaching Wiregrass Canyon requires traversing a gravel road for several miles, although the Smoky Mountain Road leading east from Big Water, Utah is usually well-graded and accessible to two-wheel drive vehicles. (Note: There is one ford required to clear Wahweap Creek, but it should be shallow most of the year. Check at the Big Water Visitor Center for latest conditions.) Once across Wahweap Creek, the road rises to a level plateau below the Mancos shale cliffs of Nipple Bench, itself a branch of broader Smoky Mountain, for which the road is named. After entering Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, the road passes several minor drainages and bends northeast. About 4.5 miles from Big Water, the drive dips to a small parking area on the right, where a sign indicating "Wiregrass Trail" marks the start of the hike.
Park here, and be sure to apply sunscreen/sun protection, as this area is highly exposed with little shade. When ready, follow a narrow but well-trodden path that leads down into a minor drainage on the right, dropping to the wash before continuing partway up the other (south) side. This dry arroyo quickly meets a larger drainage coming in from the left, and the trail eventually drops to wash level. Follow the dry and dusty wash downstream until reaching a short pouroff, relatively easily bypassed via a use trail on the left.
Now heading south, a tributary drainage comes in from the right at around 3/10 mile. Stay left, following the main wash down-canyon, finally reaching some more interesting terrain at about ½ mile. A bathtub-shaped hoodoo on the right is followed by a thin, duck-head turret, which signals the start of a more rugged wash.
Approaching the interesting section of Wiregrass Canyon at around 1/2 mile
The drainage quickly drops down a series of smooth pouroffs, many of which will be impassable to hikers (but possible for decent down-climbers). Down-canyon travel therefore requires climbing an unmarked but well-trodden bypass route leading up the left bank, climbing steeply to a four-way junction atop a gooseneck ridge. From here, one can head right to reach the duck-shaped spire and peer down into the slot canyon below. But eventually one will head straight, descending sharply back toward the canyon floor. The path leads into a sheltered side drainage, where hikers can relatively easily skirt the walls and drop down a series of minor dryfalls to return to the main wash.
View down to the narrows section from the bypass
Final descent from the bypass route
Before continuing down-canyon, first head right for a brief moment to explore the narrows/slot section. This is the finest scenery of the hike, featuring tall hoodoos, narrow and shady passages, and honeycombed walls. Follow the wash until reaching a high pouroff that is at least ten feet tall and difficult to ascend. Turn around here and continue down-canyon.

Beyond the end of the bypass route, the canyon deepens, with high, ghostly walls towering above. Amid the deep incisions and spooky landforms, Wiregrass Canyon gradually widens. Finally, all of a sudden, as the wash takes a hard right, the Wiregrass Natural Bridge appears on the left. This small archway was formed when the adjacent drainage (visible through the bridge) whittled away at the canyon wall, producing a shortcut to the wash in which one stands.
Wiregrass Natural Bridge
From here, hikers can continue for another two miles downstream to reach the shores of Lake Powell, encountering deep alcoves, ever-taller walls, and another natural bridge along the way. But for many, the first bridge is the natural turnaround point. Retrace your steps, up and over the bypass route and through the initial wash, back to the trailhead. All told, this hike takes about 1.5-2 hours depending on pace and comfort with minor scrambling.

'The Masked Singer' Renewed For Season 5
Jan 02, 2019 - Present
Host - Nick Cannon
*Commissions are earned for purchases made through Cast links.
The hit celebrity singing competition will continue in 2021.
Fox announced today that The Masked Singer has been picked up for a fifth season. Coming two weeks ahead of the show's current season finale, the renewal is no surprise considering the singing competition's continued strong performance.
Based on a format that originated out of South Korea, the series premiered in 2019 to an unsuspecting US audience with the potential to end up as another mid-season flop. But its strange, silly, and unique take on the reality singing genre piqued viewers' curiosity, and word-of-mouth took over from there. The show has already released four seasons since its debut early last year.
The Masked Singer features celebrities going head-to-head in a singing competition that has an intriguing twist: each singer is wearing an elaborate costume that completely conceals their identity. Competitors include singers, actors, and athletes - all trying to keep the audience and panelists in the dark about who they really are. As singers are eliminated each week, their true identities are revealed.
Look for Season 5 of The Masked Singer in 2021.

Huge fan of the show but this season didn't have a lot of dancing and good music. Really hope season 5 is better and don't let the celebrities control too much of the show, if their not very good they shouldn't be in the competition until the end, I don't care who they are and the lower ratings this season proves that I'm right. And I think Frog proved you can dance and rap and be talented enough to make it to the final 3, Frog was awesome! I guess I expected better with the covid shutdown, but celebs are really letting us down.

@tim
of all the absurd things to say "folks can dish it but can't take it"?? really? if I said anything even remotely close to what he said publicly or at work I'd be fired instantly... I'm not exaggerating even at little bit.
Nick Cannon should STAY!! He is no more racist than the folks making absurd comments! Folks can dish it out but can't take it.
tv guy
The show averages 10 Million People. So The fact you don't like the show doesn't mean it should be Cancelled. So if you don't like Country Music does that mean They should stop making Country Music because it doesn't appeal to you.
Listen the people complaining about this show. Don't watch it's fun to watch and guess whose in the mask.
Is there a place to report comments? If there is a moderator, please look at this thread.
I just think its wild how its only been on for 2 years and its already on season 5

It's unmitigated garbage.

EXPLORING THE TEACHING AND LEARNING BELIEF OF AN INDONESIAN ENGLISH TEACHER
The present study investigated an English teacher's belief regarding the best strategies to learn and teach English. A case study was employed as it explored a case (an English teacher) in depth. In-depth interviews were carried to gain deep understanding about the participant's belief. This study reveals that he has been learning English for roughly ten years and his motivation changed from being forced to learn English (external) to having internal motivation. He believed that quality teacher affects his motivation to learn English. Concerning his personal theory about best way to learn English, he argues that there is no any best way to learn English. Instead, he believes that there are other effective approaches fitting different learning purposes. For him, the key feature to learn and teach English in his context is exposure to the language. He also believes that doing some changes like how he evaluates the learner's skill can reduce the students' negative feeling. He admits that these preferences as the reflection of this previous learning experiences form all his experiences in learning.

Q: Symmetrix matrix multiplication and its output I have a symmetric matrix M, and I would like to multiplicate this matrix by H in the following way:
R = $HM$$H^-$
In the following case H is also a transpose matrix so:
R = $HM$$H^T$
I wonder if in any of the cases R would be also symmetric. If the answer is no for both cases, is there any exception where R would be symmetric?
Thank you for your help

A: I don't know what you mean by $H^-$. But the answer for the second case is yes:
Being symmetric means $M^T=M$. So we can simply check $R$:
$$R^T = (H^T)^TM^TH^T=HMH^T=R$$
So yes, that is symmetric. The general rule for transposition of products of matrices is $$ (ABC)^T=C^TB^TA^T$$

Tarrytown's Tom Butler Is Leaving Office With A Hall of Fame Induction
Published 1 month ago 1m ago
Retired Colonel--and now retired Mayor Thomas D. Butler receives award from State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins
By Barrett Seaman–
As his successor, Karen Brown, took up the mayor's gavel Monday night, outgoing Tarrytown Mayor Tom Butler was waiting in the lobby, wearing the formal dress uniform of a United States Army Colonel. Waiting for him at the podium was State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, poised to present him with a plaque signifying his induction into the New York State Senate's Veterans' Hall of Fame.
Butler's induction was originally announced at a virtual ceremony in Albany on Veterans Day, November 11. Each State Senator nominates a veteran from his or her district. Colonel Butler, who served in the Army and Army Reserve for a total of 35 years, won his nomination from the state's top Senator.
Colonel Butler, Stewart-Cousins said at the original ceremony, "incorporated the values he learned in that time into his role on the Tarrytown Board of Trustees — where he served for 15 years — and now as the Mayor of Tarrytown. Like many veterans, Tom continues to give back to his community and is certainly deserving of this esteemed honor."
Tom Butler joined the Army in 1969, served five years of active duty and another 30 as an officer in the Corps of Engineers Reserves, retiring with the rank of Colonel. Born in Brooklyn but moved with his wife Cheryl to Tarrytown, where he has lived for 34 years.
"The meritorious service of these veterans to our nation and to their communities deserves the special recognition that only a Hall of Fame can provide as a fitting expression of our gratitude and admiration," said Stewart-Cousins. "It mirrors the Senate's commitment to fund veterans' organizations, to support veterans as they transition back to civilian life and to secure additional funding for veterans' mental health initiatives."
To watch the December 6 meeting (which also includes the swearing in ceremony for incoming Mayor Karen Brown and Trustees Becky McGovern, David Kim, and Effie Phillips-Staley, along with Brown's appointment of Thomas Mitchell to complete her unexpired Trustee term), visit: https://www.tarrytownny.gov/village-trustees/pages/current-board-of-trustees-meeting-video?fbclid=IwAR0Bnvuq7aclp9TKJHKnqTv11CQBSyJLYAH1wcigOP4iqINFFWzqc4wxIdY — or on YouTube directly at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6t58aEGWE3g&t=5s
A (slightly) younger Col. Butler
In his response, (Ret.) Colonel Butler quoted General Douglas MacArthur's quote about "Duty, honor, country" and left final words for the village he served for 15 years: Tarrytown is the largest village in Greenburgh. Let Tarrytown lead the way, and let others follow. God bless America; God bless Tarrytown."

From poor electrical connections and air leaks to an increase or decreases in temperature, an infrared camera can find these problems before they create expensive increases in your energy bill. To schedule this preventative test, reach out to our team of experts at Swan Freedom today.
Give us a call at (614) 308-9900 or contact us online to schedule your infrared scan in Columbus or the surrounding area.
Cornerstone's certified thermographers use portable infrared imaging cameras to scan residential and commercial properties, capturing temperature difference in colorful images. If a potential problem exists, the infrared image pinpoints the exact areas of temperature difference.
Infrared can spot loose or corroded connections, overloaded circuits and transformers, current imbalances between phases, defective fuses, mismatched overloads and faulty contacts inside a circuit breaker. Infrared scans are an important tool to measure energy loss from buildings due to insulation problems.
Scans are usually completed within a day and are performed while equipment is running—requiring no downtime. You'll receive a thorough report with infrared photos showing any problems, their severity and recommended actions.
As part of a comprehensive predictive maintenance plan, an annual infrared scan can allow you to schedule maintenance, preventing unplanned downtime. Scans also help you maintain a safe working environment, reducing the risk of catastrophic failure and fire and possibly reducing insurance costs.

Iron Man 2 Review
Iron Man 2 is the perfect way to kick off the summer movie season which, surprisingly, is something I didn't anticipate. Why? I was worried they would ruin the sequel by adding too many extra characters - ahem, Spider Man 3, X-Men 3. However, director Jon Favreau takes the reins yet again to prove you can add more heroes and villains without losing sight of what made its predecessor a such a mega hit. I feel Iron Man 2 is just as good at the first.
The original Iron Man introduced us to the playboy billionaire Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and how through a cruel twist of fate, became the heroic Iron Man. This second film (like most sequels) didn't need to deliver a back story, thus can leap right into the story.
There's great humor without copy-catting the jokes in the the first movie. Downey is of course his charming best, surrounded by a great cast. Pepper Potts, (Gwyneth Paltrow) is given a much more meaty role this time around and it's fun to watch as she goes from quite and meek to boss lady, taking the corporate world - and Tony - by the balls as a powerful woman in control. Scarlett Johansson is sassy and beautiful and is a real hellcat in fight scenes. It's a different side of Johansson and one t hat fits her well. Mickey Rourke is tremendous as Whiplash. They say he doesn't know what Iron Man 2 is about, but he did read his part and totally got into playing his role flawlessly. I don't think anyone could have played that role any better. Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) is a slimy businessman and in a way you kind of feel sorry for the guy who always places second to Tony Stark. And then there's the new James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, Don Cheadle. He had the unenviable task of taking over for another actor (Terrence Howard) and handles the pressure with real grace.
What really sets Iron Man 2 apart from its predecessor is Favreau's handling of action scenes this time around. The CGI is in a whole other league, and overall the action sequences are less stagey-looking and more fitting of a huge-budgeted superhero film.
Iron Man 2 is an incredibly fun joy-ride. From Whiplash's fabulous electrical whips to Johansson kicking multiple butts, it's no wonder the movie made an estimated $133,600,000 opening weekend. It's a perfect balance of great action, a little drama and humor. I feel it more than lived up to my expectations. Don't forget to stick around through the credits for a special bonus scene.

This was an all-out awesome movie, and the bouns scene was much, much better than the first.

Movie Quote:
"I don't know what space exploration will uncover, but I don't think it'll be exploration just for the sake of exploration. I think it'll be more the fact that it allows us to see things. That maybe we should have seen a long time ago. But just haven't been able to until now."
Some of the scenes were filmed at the Coachella Festival in 2017, where Lady Gaga was the first female headliner in ten years. Festival-goers paid ten dollars to see the scenes being filmed, although recording devices were locked away to prevent any footage being leaked.

A Nightmare on Elm Street Review
I feel film matters because we use it to tell stories about who we are as a society. They are a record of what makes us human and what concerns us in our everyday lives. Film has the power to transform emotions and it gives us opportunities to expand our horizons. It has the power to connect us to a whole new world outside our own. It's magical. Moreover, film is the most prevalent form of communication and entertainment in the postmodern world. Even while we are mindlessly absorbed in a favorite entertaining past time, we are subtly and unconsciously washed with layers of cultural values. Some films are fleeting entertainment while others are truly magnificent, dazzling, thought-provoking works of art. Long Live Film!
