Q: Tomcat two way SSL with APR loses client certificate after a few requests I found that when accessing a web application that uses client certificate authentication run on Tomcat/APR (on Windows) with Firefox or Chrome, the client cert is "lost" after a short while. To the app it appears the client certificate was not sent.
Example code (JSP fragment):
User client cert data:
<%= ((java.security.cert.X509Certificate[])
request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate"))[0].
getSubjectX500Principal().toString()%>

After a few refreshes of the page (where it will show the client certificate DN) the page will fail with a NullPointerException as request.getAttribute will return null. It usually happens in less than a minute. To be more precise: when reloading about once per second, the problem occurs almost every time after 30 seconds. After that each request will fail the same way, until I restart tomcat (or restart Firefox, or just clear "Active Logins" in Firefox and re-select the certificate on a new connection). After the restart the problem always returns (and goes away for 30 seconds if I restart again).
This happens with Firefox (v39 and v40) and Chrome (v44), but not with IE v11.
It also occurs with different versions of tomcat and Java (and OS bitness).
A test case using latest versions is:

*

*download and extract apache-tomcat-8.0.24-windows-x64.zip

*in the webapps folder create a folder named cert, there create a file named ccertA.jsp that contains the above code snippet

*in server.xml add a line:
<Connector port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol"
secure="true" scheme="https" maxThreads="150" URIEncoding="UTF-8"
SSLVerifyClient="optional" SSLProtocol="TLSv1+TLSv1.1+TLSv1.2"
SSLPassword="testing" SSLEnabled="true"
SSLCertificateKeyFile="C:/your_server_key_private.pem"
SSLCertificateFile="C:/ your_server_key _public.pem"
SSLCACertificateFile="C:/supported_client_CAs.pem" />

*start tomcat by executing startup.bat

*open the page https://localhost:8443/cert/ccertA.jsp and keep refreshing it every few seconds

(see the bug linked below for a complete testcase with all the needed files, including certificate files)
If I don't use APR (by deleting the tcnative-1.dll file and adapting the connector syntax for JSSE) the problem does not happen.
Tried versions, all having the issue:

*

*apache-tomcat-8.0.24-windows-x64 (also 32 bit version)

*apache-tomcat-6.0.44-windows-x64

*Java 1.6.0 Updates 12 and 45

*Java 1.8 Update 51

*Windows 7 Pro SP1 64 bit

*Windows 7 Pro SP1 32 bit

*Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit

*Windows 10 Home 64 bit

*Firefox versions 39.0 39.0.3 and 44

*Chrome v44

*Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit / tomcat 7.0.52-1ubuntu0.3 / libapr1:amd64 1.5.0-1 / libtcnative-1:amd64 1.1.29-1

A similar issue was discussed on the tomcat-users mailing list in 2010: Client certificate gone after 1 minute timeout (SSL, APR) but with no solution. I posted there myself recently ( Firefox SSL with APR - losing client certificate has a bit more details), but it is basically just my monologue.
Edit: Certificate info
Originally I tested with a server certificate issued by my private testing CA. Now I also tried with a "real" certificate issued by trusted CA. (I used my personal certificate. The browser complained about the hostname mitmatch which I clicked away).
Edit: bug report
Reported as Bug 58244 - two way SSL loses client certificate after a few requests
Suggestions on how to debug the issue are welcome.

A: I had too many issues with using client certificates with java apps (on client side as well as on a server). APR helps but it has issues of its own. Eventually, I decided to stop trying and now I offload SSL processing to a proxy in front of the app. Both Apache and Nginx work well in this role.

Oceans of Wonder • 2018 • episode "8/8" • Blue Planet II
This extended special of the nature documentary series journeys from the equator to the unexplored depths, meeting the best-loved characters from the series.
Blue Planet II • 2017 - 2018 • 8 episodes •
One Ocean
In recent years, our knowledge of life beneath the waves has been transformed. Using cutting-edge technology, One Ocean takes us on a journey from the intense heat of the tropics to our planet's frozen poles to reveal new worlds and extraordinary never-before-seen animal behaviours.
2017 • Nature
The deep is perhaps the most hostile environment on earth, at least to us - a world of crushing pressure, brutal cold and utter darkness. We have barely begun to explore it, and yet it is the largest living space on the planet. Scientists already think that there is more life in the deep than anywhere else on earth. This episode takes us on an epic journey into the unknown, a realm that feels almost like science fiction. We discover alien worlds, bizarre creatures and extraordinary new behaviours never seen before. We encounter savage hordes of Humboldt squid hunting lanternfish in the depths and coral gardens flourishing in absolute darkness, with more species of coral to be found in the deep than on shallow tropical reefs.. Narrated by David Attenborough,
Coral reefs are home to a quarter of all marine species. Survival in these undersea mega-cities is a challenge with many different solutions. A turtle heads to the reef's equivalent of a health spa - but she must use trickery to avoid the queue. A remarkable Grouper uses the fish equivalent of sign language to collaborate with an octopus, flushing their prey out of hiding holes. A metre-long, ferocious-jawed Bobbit Worm hides in its tunnel. Monocle Bream retaliate by squirting water to expose its sandy lair.
The big blue is the world's greatest wilderness, far from shore and many kilometres deep. It's a vast marine desert where there is little to eat and nowhere to hide. Yet it's home to some of the biggest and most spectacular creatures on earth. This episode reveals what it takes to survive in this savage and forbidding world. We witness feats of incredible endurance, moments of high drama and extraordinary acts of heart-wrenching self-sacrifice. Every animal in the big blue must find their own unique way to survive.
Green Seas
Footage of wildlife inhabiting underwater kelp forests, including thousands of giant cuttlefish spawning along a restricted area of rocky reef off the south coast of Australia. Males outnumber females 11 to one, which leads to fierce competition. Larger males use brute force to drive off competition, while their smaller rivals use deception by mimicking the appearance of females. The programme also features tiger sharks hunting for green turtles in fields of seagrass and spider crabs trying to avoid predators while they shed their shells.
At the coast, two worlds collide. Coasts is the story of how our Blue Planet's wildlife survives in this ever changing world. It's a roller-coaster ride of heart stopping action and epic drama, with characters from beautiful to bizarre. This episode is a rollercoaster ride of heart-stopping action and epic drama, peopled with characters from the beautiful to the bizarre. We meet fish that live on dry land and puffins that must travel 60 miles or more for a single meal, and witness a life-and-death struggle in a technicolour rock pool.
Our Blue Planet
Blue Planet II explores parts of the ocean that nobody has ever visited, encountered extraordinary animals, and discovered new insights into life beneath the waves. In Our Blue Planet, Sir David Attenborough examines the impact of human life on life in the ocean. In this final episode, we uncover the impact that our modern lives are having on our best-loved characters from across the series, including devoted albatross parents unwittingly feeding their chicks discarded plastic and mother dolphins potentially exposing their newborn calves to pollutants through their contaminated milk. Scientists have even discovered that increasing noise levels may stop baby clownfish finding their way home.
Oceans of Wonder
Rise of Exlies
After the murder of one of its own, the Makulu Pack of wild dogs looks to a new leader for salvation; the Western Pride is exiled to the fringes of the kingdom as it fights to protect its cubs; the marauding hyena clan commits the cruelest of acts.
S3E3 • Savage Kingdom • 2019 • Nature
David Attenborough's Ant Mountain
David Attenborough travels to the Jura Mountains in the Swiss Alps, to find out about one of the largest animal societies in the world, where over a billion ants live in peace.
Putting Flesh on Bone
2nd prog in series about fossils. David Attenborough investigates some fossil mysteries - could pterodactyls fly? And why did trilobites have such good eyes?
S1E2 • Lost Worlds, Vanished Lives • 1989 • Nature
Pocket Time Machine
How does the cellphone in your pocket link to the Big Bang, the evolution of human memory, and even the Titanic disaster? Big History reveals how cosmic forces conspired to give us the tool that has revolutionized the planet.
10/17 • Big History • 2013 • Nature
For the animals in the polar regions, autumn means dramatic battles and epic journeys. Time is running out - the Arctic Ocean is freezing over and the sea ice is advancing at 2.5 miles per day around Antarctica. Polar bears gather in large numbers on the Arctic coast as they wait for the return of the ice. Soon, tempers fray and violent sparring contests break out. Meanwhile 2,000 beluga whales head for one special estuary, a gigantic 'whale spa' where they will thrash their snow-white bodies against the gravel and exfoliate. Inland, the tundra undergoes a dramatic transformation from green to fiery red. Here, musk ox males slam head-first into each other with the force of a 30mph car crash as they struggle to defend their harems. Frisky young caribou males play a game of 'grandma's footsteps' as they try to steal the boss's female. Down in Antarctica, Adelie penguin chicks huddle together in creches. When a parent returns from fishing, it leads its twins on a comical steeplechase - sadly there's only enough for one, so the winner gets the meal. Two months later and the chicks are fully feathered apart from downy Mohican hairdos - they're ready to take their first swim - reluctantly though, as it seems penguins are not born with a love of water! And with good reason - a leopard seal explodes from the sea and pulls one from an ice floe, a hunting manoeuvre that has never been filmed before. As winter approaches and everyone has left, the giant emperor penguin arrives and makes an epic trek inland to breed. The mothers soon return to the sea leaving the fathers to hold the eggs and endure the coldest winter on earth.
4/7 • Frozen Planet • 2011 • Nature
The Full Circle
In this highlights programme compiled from the recent Life Story series, David Attenborough brings us the universal story that unites each of us with every animal on the planet, the story of the greatest of all adventures - the journey through life. For each stage of life we see the most spectacular, beautiful or dramatic stories from the Life Story series.

World Headquarters for Wines of Substance is located in a former auto garage. Rocket88, My Wine Club, is inspired by our historical surroundings in addition to a couple of firsts. Rocket88 was the first American muscle car made by Oldsmobile in 1949, and it is considered to be the first true rock and roll song. With my passion for cars, rock and roll, and architecture, I was immediately drawn to Rocket88 as the name for our new wine club. Rocket88 embodies the old and the new, like a rocket in 1949 or the first notes of a song entering your ears, so I invite you to take a look, kick the tires and take it for a spin. Rocket88, My Wine Club is for you.

Mechanics is the technology of learning strength and forces, and their results on topic. It consists of mechanisms, kinematics, move sections, and delivery. Radiation mechanism describes how quite a few varieties of radiation have interaction with various goals (atoms and nuclei). The ebook addresses the above 4 facets of radiation mechanics integrating those facets of radiation habit in one treatise below the framework of "radiation mechanics".

Can A Landlord Prevent A Cafe From On Premise Consumption? [e247]
#commercial lease
Nasir explains his experience at a local sandwich shop, Relish Fine Foods, and the guys speculate as to how the cafe is restricted from allowing customers to eat on the premises.
Check out the Relish website here:www.relishhouston.com
NASIR: Welcome to our podcast where we coiver business in the news and add our legal twist. My name is Nasir Pasha.
NASIR: And, this episode – I feel like I was about to go in a more formal introduction like, "In this episode, we're going to talk about…" but when do we ever do that?
MATT: Not often.
NASIR: Not often.
MATT: Or maybe ever I guess. I don't know if we have.
NASIR: Yeah, just look at the title and people know what we're talking about, whatever the title may be.
MATT: This isn't a TV show where you do a preview.
NASIR: Yeah, an introduction or a preview and then they show clips of the podcast.
MATT: Yes, some podcasts do have… ours aren't long enough so it wouldn't really make sense but some of them will have a line or two from the episode at the beginning.
NASIR: Yeah, I remember Zero did that, I think, did they? I'm trying to remember. Or maybe they did it for the past episode. We should have an update from the last episode even though one episode has nothing to do with the other.
MATT: We recorded two back-to-back. I don't know how much of an update we could do from one to the other.
NASIR: Well, we can give an update of what's happened with that fundraiser on GoFundMe for the last story. They've raised $5.00 more.
NASIR: Anyway, I guess I should start out with this, right?
MATT: Yeah, this is all you. I can sit back on this one.
NASIR: Okay. Well, don't sit back too much because you're the one who usually does the intro.
Anyway, there's a restaurant – by the way, using the word "restaurant," I use it very loosely – there's a place where you buy food, okay? It's around the corner from the office and it's called Relish, I think. it's been there for as long as I've been living here – which hasn't been long – a few years, at least. It's this food establishment. It's kind of like a deli but not really. A lot of fresh ingredients and food and, also, it's a little pricey. It's in a nice neighborhood or whatever. I go there the other day and they have this flyer on one of the walls near the cash register and, of course, I don't read this until they ask me, you know, I order my sandwich and they me, "To go or for here?" and I say, "To go." I read this flyer and it says, "To our valued customers, we are sorry to inform you that food may not be consumed on these premises."
Of course, I'm thinking, "Okay, I guess I can't eat here, but then why did they ask me whether I should eat here or not?" And then, they say, "This is due to a provision in our lease that our landlord and other food tenants on the property have decided to strictly enforce. We will be open for takeaway until further notice," and then, in the next paragraph, it says, "We are actively seeking a different location close-by where this will not be the case. We look forward to continuing to serve you and hope to find a new location very soon. Thank you for understanding. – Relish Team."
Of course, then I look to my right and left and I see there were some tables there. There was never that much seating in the first place and there was a couple of tables there with chairs – like, high chairs, but those high chairs are gone – but then they have stools like at Starbucks or whatever, they have a bar on the window and they have a bunch of stools and I see a couple of people sitting there, eating, with their bags. So, of course, I'm confused. I overhear somebody, he's like, "Oh, can we eat here?" "Yeah, we just have to pack it to go." I was like, "Okay, that's weird." Then, I was like, "Oh, so you guys are moving?" They're like, "Yeah, we've moving," and they told me they were moving down… it's actually not that close-by but relatively close-by. And then, I overhear them, "Yeah, we're moving," but it's bad business on their part anyway. They're referring to their landlord, basically. They're basically moving out because of it.
So, what are we talking about here? Obviously, there's some kind of lease provision in this particular establishment. That's why I was like, "Should we call this a restaurant or not?" because, somehow, they defined it that, okay, you can sell food here but you can't have – I don't know how they defined it because how you define these kind of restrictions are actually pretty specific – but somehow people aren't supposed to go in there and eat at the premises.
MATT: Obviously, you're the one that's been there. I haven't but I think I found the right spot online. It looks like it's just a free… I imagine his as in a strip mall or a joint to other spots. It looks like just a free-standing building with a restaurant or café or whatever you want to call it is.
NASIR: It is a free-standing building. I'm just trying to think if there's anything else attached to the building. But, definitely, when you walk in, it's definitely whatever it is now doesn't seem like what it used to be. In other words, it wasn't designed to be a restaurant. it seems like there was something else there – some kind of store of some sort. It's a very strange plaza, actually – not even a plaza. There's some kind of wine bar restaurant next-door.
MATT: It doesn't even look like there's a lot of space to eat there.
NASIR: There's not, and it's always been like that. If you wanted to eat there, you can't go during lunch because it's going to be busy so you may have select room or whatever. But most people who seem to go there always it got it to go anyway so it was one of those kind of places anyway from the start.
MATT: I thought, at first, you were just confused and you went through like a drive-thru or something. "I don't see why I can't eat my food here on this drive-thru window."
NASIR: Ah, yeah.
MATT: But, yeah, you told me about this and this was before I realized it was just a building by itself. At least I assumed there was like a grocery store or a supermarket nearby or something. Now, I'm even thrown for it because they said there was a provision in their lease. So, the one thing I can think of, well, it wouldn't be an exclusivity provision because it wouldn't be able to go up in the first place. And so, maybe there was some sort of prohibited use that they can't eat there. They could sell food.
NASIR: It might be some sort of exclusivity because they do mention here – and I'll read it again – "This is due to a provision in our lease that our landlord and other food tenants on the property have decided to strictly enforce." And so, this is what I suspect just based upon very little information is that you may have some kind of lease provision which basically defines what use they may use. A lot of times, let's say you're a landlord or a tenant for that matter and you're trying to draft your lease and maybe you only want so-called "nice restaurants" in there, but how are you going to define a nice restaurant? Often, what you'll do is you'll be like, "Okay, you can have a restaurant so long as there's table cloths and there's seating with these kinds of chairs and you have this number of seating and you don't have a bar or you don't have this. You have waitresses or waiters." You put in those specific details and so there may have been something to that effect or it may have been just as simple as saying, you know, "No dine-in restaurants." That's a common term, too. Perhaps that's always been in the lease and then the neighbors were like, "Hey, wait a minute. You know, we were supposed to be the only dine-in restaurant in the lease and now these guys have been operating." That's what weird – these guys have been operating like this for at least two or three years.
MATT: Yeah, and I agree with you on that. There could be some exclusivity provision but it would have to be they can sell sandwiches or restaurant-type food but you just can't consume it there. Usually, it's the opposite of that – you can't have off-premise consumption. There's a restriction for that.
NASIR: You have to have dine-in for X number of seating, et cetera.
MATT: I mean, it's like, is it a restriction against on-premise consumption?
MATT: So, can I go sit in my car and eat it then at that point? The fact that it's isolated by itself, there's something that we don't know about. I don't know.
NASIR: Let me tell you. There is definitely some weirdness with this store. I mean, I think my wife's the one that introduced me to it and I remember going in it and going inside is just confusing because, yeah, you have a place where you order but then, to your left, there's these shelves and they have all these pantry items and then it's like the most random stuff. If you go there now, if you look at the pictures now, you know, there's plenty and maybe we'll post a picture and get permission or whatever to use it for our main image but, if you look inside, they sell Sriracha sauce and they sell…
MATT: Is that pasta they're selling?
NASIR: Yeah, they sell pasta and I think they may sell even – I may be wrong but maybe – wine. Probably not alcohol but they probably sell olive oil and things like that. You go in there today, there's like five or six pieces of inventory each and I think that might be because they're moving, possibly, and they're dumping in the inventory. But, even in the beginning, it was very weird. By the way, it's expensive and it's pretty good but I wouldn't be surprised if wherever they move to ends up being better for them anyway and it's for the best of everyone's efforts to get them out of there. But what I think is obvious is, for the landlord to put this restriction on and for their co-tenant to put this, they knew that either Relish would have to go carry-out only or move, and they probably knew that carry-out only was not going to be the solution and the reality of this whole thing was to get them out because they wanted to replace the tenant with somebody else.
MATT: Yeah. I mean, that's my best guess as well. Once you saw that, you asked them to see the lease when you saw that, right?
NASIR: The owner's actually usually there and, when I went that day, the other day, it ended up being just two other employees that I've never seen before. It's been months since I've been there so I have no idea how long this sign has been up, frankly. If the owner was there, I'd probably be more inclined to ask and maybe she'll reach out to me or reach out to us and provide any comment after she hears this story. I'll send it over or something but I did not reach out to her. I thought about it, though.
MATT: So, there's a couple of things in the note that they note and one was "we're actively seeking a different location." I guess that'll be interesting to see what happens. I mean, I guess they're going to have to break the lease and maybe that's something the landlord is fine with or even, like you said, maybe that was the whole plan all along so that's one aspect. Another thing that's interesting that someone might think of is, well, they were doing it for years – you know, letting people eat there – what's changed now? It's in the note saying "due to a provision in our lease that our landlord and other food tenants on the property have decided to strictly enforce," usually, there is some clause – it's got to be in these long leases that are way too long – about waiver that, you know, essentially, because a landlord allowed this to happen for however many years doesn't mean that they've waived their right to then enforce it.
NASIR: That's a great point, Matt. That's a standard clause in there that is in the protection of the landlord because, otherwise, you know, these leases are so long, if the landlord forgets to enforce a certain rule or regulation or clause within their lease, then they don't want to have the risk of waiving it so, yeah, that's a great point.
MATT: This should be interesting. I mean, I still want to know what this provision was. It has to be they're only allowed to sell. Like, you're not a grocery store. They're not selling products to then go cook. You're selling products that's ready to eat. There's probably some term for that.
NASIR: Yeah, and I don't know what happened. Like, what happened back in 2011 or 2012? Like, how did the landlord think that they were supposed to operate? Was this provision just stuck into the lease that no one even realized was there and then the landlord conveniently used later? Makes you wonder, right?
MATT: Like we said, there's not a lot of space in there to eat as is. You're right; those tables are extremely thin or narrow.
NASIR: Yeah, and I kind of understand, obviously, within the letter that they posted, there's obvious frustration from the owner, you know? It's apparent and it's probably understandable. Here, they're running a business after many years and, all of a sudden, the rules are changing, you know? That's not cool.
MATT: I'll tell you what, though. I mean, I've never been here – probably will never go – but it looks pretty good.
NASIR: I think it's the concept of they try to serve slow food, whatever that may mean.
MATT: Slow food? As opposed to fast food?
NASIR: No, it's the concept of like, what do they call it? Slow carbs or low carbs or something to that effect but a lot of fresh vegetables and fresh ingredients. They didn't have it when I was there; they had all these salads.
MATT: I don't know if it's low-carb if they have all these… I mean, bread is carbs.
NASIR: Sandwich, yeah, they have sandwiches.
MATT: I'm looking at a photo that is just loaves of bread on top and a ton of cookies underneath.
NASIR: Well, let's see. I don't know. Let's see, they're a member of Slow Food USA. "Relish supports the slow food movement, obtains the freshest ingredients through local producers." Oh, okay, maybe how they get their… how they source their ingredients and stuff like that.
MATT: Farm to table or whatever that is?
NASIR: Yeah, maybe.
MATT: When you said "slow food," I thought you meant like, you know, handcrafted artisan sandwiches, things like that.
NASIR: Yeah, and then they ended up taking a long time to make it which is frustrating.
MATT: Well, I mean, this isn't McDonald's, you know. It's not fast food. Maybe that's what it is. The sandwiches aren't sitting there beforehand so everything is made to order. That's my guess.
NASIR: Yeah, okay.
MATT: So, when you move to another location, you're going to lose some business just in the move right now.
NASIR: Oh, yeah, especially restaurants, absolutely. But, like I said, if you guys know Houston, it's like Westheimer and east of where they're at now and they're on San Felipe now. And so, I still think wherever they go, they'll probably end up being in a better place, but we'll see.
MATT: I'll tell you what, though. These photos look pretty good. How far is it from your office?
NASIR: It's like a couple of minutes.
MATT: Oh, okay. Well, if I ever come out that way – well, we'll have to go to the new location. Hopefully, it's still around.
NASIR: It's going to be a little further.
MATT: Eh.
NASIR: For a take-home, I mean, this is pretty basic. That's what's a little sad about this and I don't want to over-criticize because, obviously, they're a local restaurant and I'm sure they had a lawyer review the lease – maybe, maybe not, I don't know.
MATT: You might want to be sure.
NASIR: Yeah, I know, I should be sure. But this is a pretty basic provision to look at as far as the use and that's the first question you ask. I'm reviewing a lease right now and one of the first things I saw on the first page it said, like, "Permitted to use financial institution," and that was a typo. It's going to be used for a completely different purpose but what they put in there is so important because, if they don't comply with that permitted use, then it could be a breach of the lease and, if there's other regulations – and usually it's in exhibits and towards the back of the lease where it says, you know, "There's a Subway next-door so therefore you can't do deli sandwiches," you know and there'll be a restriction for that – and that's something a lawyer and a real estate and a lease broker, if you have one which most people don't, at the least, they'll be able to point that out, but definitely an attorney would be able to spot that out right away.
MATT: Well, I mean, it's possible that they just overlooked it or they missed it all together. Even if that's the case, it's possible that the landlord didn't know really either and they said , "We have this huge tenant that's coming and we just need to find a way to get them out of there," But it could have been the case where the tenant did notice that in there and did see it and said, "Well, this is just a good opportunity for us," and maybe it was kind of a handshake agreement that it won't be enforced and now it's coming back to get them.
NASIR: Exactly, and that'll happen, too. You know, everyone's rushing to get the lease done or whatever and they're like, "Oh, don't worry about that, that's never going to come up," right? And just to make it applicable today. I was dealing with a land closing today of a provision in a deed that everyone knew didn't matter but it's that one out of a hundred times just in case and imagine Relish Fine Foods now is I would imagine, in the short-term at least, this is costing tens of thousands of dollars – you know, whether you have to close and move and all these ancillary costs to it. Hopefully, they'll make it up and I'm sure they'll do well in their new location. But imagine if this could have been prevented? And, assuming it could have been prevented, it was something not malicious or something like that that a lawyer could have discovered this and, you know, prevented that, how much would that have cost, you know?
MATT: Yeah, it reminded me, you've seen Super Troopers, right?
NASIR: Yeah. In fact, they raised enough money to do a next one, right?
MATT: They're shooting it.
NASIR: They're shooting it? Okay.
MATT: Yeah, they've already shot part of it and, when you said that, it reminded me of the scene where they're at the gun range and he takes down the thing and all the bullets are in the chest or whatever or where the chest protector would be and there's one bullet right in the neck. He's like, "What about that one?" He's like, "That one? I wouldn't worry about that one," because he's going to shoot the real-life target of one of them.
NASIR: Just one straight bullet, don't worry about it.
Okay. Well, I was thinking about reaching out to these guys but, you know, I didn't think they would feel comfortable talking about that stuff which is understandable.
MATT: Yeah, they probably wouldn't – I mean, they probably shouldn't.
NASIR: Yeah. But, when they do move in their new location, we'll look out for it and we'll try to do a quick plug for them as well.
MATT: Yeah, I'm interested to find out more about this. I'll really relish that opportunity.
NASIR: Oh, well, you know, they're going to appreciate that – a lot. They're probably going to be the only ones though because I think everyone else is gagging from the pun.
MATT: Starting off 2016 – one pun per week. We'll see if we can keep it up.
NASIR: Can you just get 52 out of the way and just get the average down?
MATT: We record a whole episode where I don't provide any substance, just 52 puns.
NASIR: Ah, all right, well, thanks for joining us.


One thing I really like about the internet is the ability to stumble upon years-old gems. Angelica Ström is a Sweden-based photographer, or at least she was in 2011 when these images were originally posted. Captured anonymously from behind there's a strong sense of angst youth and experimentation with light, setting and posture.
"To accurately portray the reality of living with mental illness for prisoners in an effort to call attention to the increased imprisonment of the mentally ill in the US" is the stated goal of Jenn Ackerman's series Trapped.
César Biojo defines his work as the controlled result of multiple accidents; the coexistence of two opposites: creation and destruction. Biojo starts with the figurative— constructing a character—and when he feels it is perfect he destroys it with the abstraction of extra paint and spatula rips and drags. The result is a perfect imperfection: a focus on the fragility and ephemerality of the human existence that asks if we were perfect for a moment? And then reassures you yes… but that moment has passed.
A self-taught painter, Fatima Ronquillo layers her portraits with the traditional symbols and charms of classic-style portraiture — objects that meant different things in different times and have to be studied to be completely understood. Ronquillo's subjects similarly face the viewer decorated with blindfolds, eye patches, fauns, flowers — and by pulling them into the contemporary, we are reminded us of the aesthetic value of these objects that we are free to attach our own significance to.
New York-based travel photographer Sivan Askayo explores intimacy through a universal behavior: hanging clothes out to dry. Askayo's series Intimacy Under the Wires depicts clotheslines from around the world—snapshots likely more personal than intended. According to Askayo, the project began in Tel Aviv, and continued through Madrid, Barcelona, London, Florence, Venice and Buenos Aires, and we have to take her word for it: aside from small hints in t-shirt logos, random signage and perhaps an architectural clue, locations are largely a mystery.

Fulfilling the Dream
Dorothy Tillman came to Chicago to participate in the Chicago Freedom Movement in 1965 and is now one of the political leaders in the city of Chicago.
Born in Montgomery, Alabama, Dorothy Wright joined the civil rights movement as a teenager. Impressed by her passion for racial justice and commitment to action, the Reverend James Bevel recruited her to become an organizer for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). In March 1965 she marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, during the SCLC's voting-rights campaign. By the fall of that year, she was on Chicago's West Side as part of a vanguard SCLC team that was organizing West Side residents and laying the groundwork for a broader mobilization to end slums and housing discrimination during the following year.
While in Chicago, she met the musician Jimmy Lee Tillman, whom she married. They then moved to San Francisco, and she drew on her organizing experience to mobilize public housing residents to battle for equal access to public transportation.
In the 1970s, she returned to Chicago and threw herself into the fight for quality education in Chicago public schools. She brought national attention to the failings of inner-city schools, and she founded the Parent Equalizers of Chicago, a group that helped lead to broader school reform in Chicago.
In 1985, Tillman became the first woman to serve as the alderman of Chicago's Third Ward. Her electoral success highlights her distinction as the only female elected official who was a member of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s staff in the 1950s and 1960s. She represented the Third War until 2007. In recent years, she has been one of the leading voices calling for reparations for the suffering African Americans endured under slavery.


Grimsby Town v STFC Pic Dave Evans 15/12/18.Luke Woolfenden leads the applause for Town's travelling supporters..
ON-LOAN defender Luke Woolfenden will remain sidelined for Swindon Town's League Two fixture at home to Forest Green Rovers tonight with a calf knock, while Matt Taylor's chances of playing remain hanging in the balance.
Woolfenden missed his first Town game since early November on Saturday as Richie Wellens' side defeated Milton Keynes Dons 3-2 away from home.
Taylor, meanwhile, returned to the starting XI at Stadium MK after being restricted to the bench since Lincoln City's visit to the Energy Check County Ground in mid-January.
Both doubts have left Wellens unsure if sacrificing 'accomplished' areas of the pitch in return for a fresh formation would be a wise move.
Wellens said: "Forest Green changed their shape on Saturday, but then went behind so reverted back to their old system.
"I would imagine that they will start with three men at the back. They're a very open and good football team.
Town boss Wellens is not short of attacking options, having drafted strikers Theo Robinson and Ben House into his squad over the January transfer window – adding to his previous available choices up top that included Marc Richards, Keshi Anderson, Kaiyne Woolery and Scott Twine.
While Robinson made his starting debut against Milton Keynes, House has found minutes harder to come by since his switch to SN1.
He has so far appeared from the bench twice – against Macclesfield Town and Crawley Town – and registered one assist from those two games.
Wellens revealed that the Reading loanee was due to start in the initial staging of tonight's fixture on February 2, before it was postponed due to the inclement weather.
"Ben has done well," said Wellens.
"It's unfortunate that the game against Forest Green was called off – he was starting in that game.
"He worked on the Wednesday and Thursday (before the initial date) but couldn't make it in on the Friday because of the snow.
"That put a doubt in my mind whether to start him or not. Then the game got called off, and he couldn't make training on Saturday.
"By then, Theo Robinson had joined and I decided to go with him.
"Ben has trained great. He has trained really well and he has a lot of potential.
"We'll try and get him some more minutes. The nature of the last couple of games has made it difficult to get him on the pitch.


The Fund for the Arts of Southwest Florida was established in 2012 to promote the arts in our region. It all started with a generous donation of two paintings from Cello Bennett by her late husband Gale Bennett, a renown artist and beloved teacher in the region. The generosity didn't stop there, Cello coordinated a summer exhibition of Gale's work and sales proceeds benefited the Fund. This act of kindness started an ongoing series of art exhibits at the Foundation's Community Hub where dozens of artists have exhibited and donated a portion of the proceeds to the Fund by the artists.

Reverse engineering reveals inner workings of Comfoo Trojan
By William Jackson
Researchers at Dell SecureWorks have been able to monitor the command and control system of an advanced Remote Access Trojan being used by Chinese hackers to penetrate government, high-tech companies and educational systems in the United States, Asia and Europe.
The Comfoo Trojan has been in development since at least 2006 and was used in the 2010 breach of RSA, which later was leveraged to compromise the VPNs of Defense Department contractors, including Lockheed Martin. Although it was analyzed in the wake of the RSA incident, Comfoo has had a low profile and has remained in wide use since then.
But the researchers have been able to identify the Comfoo server software used to communicate with compromised systems and have passively monitored command and control activity for the past 18 months.
"You rarely get a chance to reverse engineer the server side of something like this," said Joe Stewart, director of malware research for Dell SecureWork's Counter Threat Unit (CTU). "While it's still live we are able to see the victims, identify them and pass this information back to the victims."
Dell SecureWork's research was released in a paper at last week's Black Hat Briefings. The paper includes threat indicators that can help agencies determine if they have been compromised.
Detecting and cleaning up the malware can be complicated, but determining whether you are a potential target is not. "If one player in an industry is targeted, it is likely all major players (or newcomers with interesting technology) in that industry will be targets at some point," authors Stewart and CTU researcher Don Jackson wrote.
Stewart said the Comfoo attacks seem to be coming from a group in Beijing. "I think it's a pretty good assumption that the actors are Chinese," he said. But that does not necessarily point to the Chinese government. "The question is, who do they work for? That's something we can't say with this kind of analysis."
The largest numbers of victims identified were in Japan, India and South Korea, but there also were victims in the United States, Taiwan and Europe. Targets included government offices as well as educational institutions, news media, mineral exploration and manufacturing companies and trade organizations. The object of the attacks appeared to be gathering intellectual property, but one of the target industries was audio- and videoconferencing vendors. Steward and Jackson said this indicates they might have been looking for a way to listen in on government and corporate users.
"It looks like they wanted to find a way to tap the conferences of some of the vendors' customers," Stewart said. The researchers did not determine if eavesdropping actually took place.
Once the Comfoo server software had been identified in a malware library, the researchers were able to access the command and control network because of a lack of authentication required on the servers and poor cryptography. Using a 10-byte static encryption key hardcoded into the malware, they were able to monitor traffic as compromised computers linked back to the command and control servers and identify the victims.
Passive monitoring began in January 2012 and identified victims in 64 separate attack campaigns. Victims were notified either directly or through local incident response teams. Because not all victim log-ins were observed, there could be many more unidentified Comfoo victims.
Researchers did not access data being passed from the victims.
Once on a target computer, Comfoo hides itself by modifying and using a path in the dynamic link library to an existing unused service rather than installing a new service, which would be more likely to be noticed. A rootkit is also sometimes used to hide files. It also can protect itself by blocking remote inbound connections to prevent maintenance to the server.
Comfoo command and control traffic is passed through a third rendezvous server. The victim connects to the rendezvous server, which acts as a middleman and waits to be contacted by command and control servers. It then passes along information from the victim to the command server and sends commands back to the victim.
Despite the exposure of the system, Comfoo probably will not be abandoned soon.
"It takes a lot of management infrastructure to maintain this," Jackson said. "They seem to be reluctant to shut it down." He said it is more likely that changes will be made on the client side software rather than changing the basics on the backend. Domain names and IP addresses could be altered, but "we still understand enough about it to identify further activities."
Indicators in network traffic, on hard drives, in memory or in the Windows registry can be used to detect the presence of Comfoo on a system. There is a typical phone-home and request exchange that can be identified as well as tell-tale strings of code in memory and on disk, although offline forensic analysis might be needed to find them if a rootkit is being used.
As with many advanced persistent threats, finding and cleaning up after Comfoo could take a major effort, the researchers said.

Best Educational Kids TV Shows on Netflix for Pre-schoolers, Little Kids
With billions of people forced to stay at home during this COVID-19 pandemic, adults and kids alike are now getting used to a new normal. On one hand, adults are busy juggling their professional and household commitments, while on the other hand, children have to make do with the indoors, finding ways to spend time creatively.
They can no longer go out to play or pursue hobbies that involve attending physical classes such as music, dance or sports. In such a situation, it is only natural that they end up spending longer hours in front of television screens to kill their boredom and pass time.

CTV is covering a new poll that looks very bad for the Liberals.
A new poll paints a devastating picture of a Liberal party completely reduced to a rump in Quebec if an election were held today.
"For the Liberals, they are in a worse position than they were in the middle of the sponsorship scandal," political commentator Jean Lapierre told CTV's Question Period on Sunday.
I certainly hope that nobody within the party is surprised. Although having heard the commentary of such punditorial wizards as Monsieur Cherniak, one can't help but imagine that they will be wide eyed with shock. As a party they have abandoned their role as opposition to the government. They have rolled over and exposed their bellies so often that their dismal performance has driven away any support they might have had. Stephane Dion has failed to provide leadership, he has failed to stem the tide of the weak minority re-shaping the nation to suit it's own agenda.
On a personal note, over the last year or two I have written a number of letters to Members of Parliament, Ministers and Senators. I have received detailed responses from Mr. Layton and the NDP, I have received the brush off and lies from Mr. Prentice and the PMO, I have received no responses whatsoever from my MP (to whom I have written more often than anyone). In fact, the only Liberal Party response to come in so far, is from a Senator. Senator Hervieux-Payette took the time to respond in detail to issues I raised concerning Bill C-10, no such response was forthcoming from the appropriate critics taking up space in the Opposition benches in the House of Commoms. This is not an issue of preception, it is an issue of performance. The Liberal Party has not shown an interest in doing the job of Opoposition, why on Earth would we entrust the greater responsibility of governing to them?
We've all seen the dismal display of the voting records and attendance of the Liberals in their supposed role as Her Majesty's Official Opposition.
Many of us are unlikely to forget Monsieur Dion and the Liberal's response (or lack thereof) to Bill C-484.
At this juncture, the country is best left as it is. The Conservative Party of Canada is in a de facto majority position, as they are operating unopposed. The Liberals are adrift, utterly ineffectual and there are no viable alternatives. Yet whilst the Liberals snipe at one another and there is a sense that the party ranks are jockeying for position, Dion continues to threaten that he might bring down Harper's government. Much as I would love to see the Conservatives faulter, fail and fall out of office, that will not happen. Any election in the near future will return a Conservative majority. If Dion and the Liberals think otherwise, they are simpletons and fools.
The Harper forces would love nothing more than an election. They are doing everything in their power to prompt a return to the polls. They would make the choice of potatoes on the Parliamentary cafeteria menu a confidence issue of they could.
Leadership is not the sole issue facing the Grits. There is a systemic reek of arrogance within the party that is made all the worse by their failure to do their jobs. Among the leaders in waiting, there is no-one that Canadians will rally behind. Ignatieff is neither liked nor trusted, Bob Rae will forever be tainted as the NDP premier who floundered and sank out of sight in Ontario, the man who generated the backlash that brought the much reviled Mike Harris to power. Failing the emergence of Justin Trudeau or a similar new face with sufficient charisma and strength to wash out the old, dirty players, there appears to be little more to hope for than a continued minority.
At this point the Liberals need to purge their ranks. The Conservatives were very, very successful in hanging the stink of Adscam and the sponsorship scandal around the neck of the Liberals. To date, that stink of corruption and entitlement has not been washed away. An imminent return to the polls would perform that purge in a most unpleasant manner. Stephane Dion, should he decide to bring down the Harper government, will go down in history as the man who presided over the decimation of the Liberal Party of Canada.
My solution to the Liberal malaise... have Dion step aside and draft Joe Clark as leader. Failing that or something equally audacious, we're doomed to their fumble fingered parody of the night of long knives. All of their protestations aside, the Liberals are in disarray. They need to clean out their ranks, pull up their socks and provide at least a semblance of vision and leadership.

ain't cussed a bit!
It's easy to point at the voting records and screech that Liberal party isn't providing opposition, but you're ignoring the fact that they're trying to find the key to turn things around before that next election.
If they'd have brought down this government and caused an election that heralded a CPC majority, then you'd be screeching it's their fault.
The bloc and the NDP are in the sweet spot, where they can vote however they like, and not be blamed for the disaster that follows.
It looks like the progressive portion of the Canadian political spectrum is going to be on the outside looking in for quite a while.
You'll be doing a lot more snarking for the next decade or so; go ahead, you might as well blame the Liberals for that too.
thwap said...
Why is there this perception that an election will bring a Harper majority?
It only exists because the Liberals don't have many substantive differences with the CONS.
They're two peas in a pod on Afghanistan. They're united on the SPP. They're united on missile defence. Dion dithered on Kyoto, while Harper is bought, paid-for, and deluded on it. The end results for the eco-system are the same.
The Liberal Party, of all parties, ought not to be terrified of the electorate. The Canadian people don't like the Harper agenda and it would be easy to demolish them but for the sad fact that the Liberals HAVE THE SAME AGENDA.
robert, i have the sad feeling that the only thing that will unseat the conservatives at this point will be their own actions. it will take a policy disaster or a scandal of sufficient scale to truly bring them down. the liberals as currently configured will not do it. they cannot win an election now and they won't be finding any magical keys any time soon. the failure to oppose the government on numerous issues has served to anger and alienate their traditional base. that includes voting on a great many issues that are not confidence motions.
their voting and attendance has been dismal. period. there is no key to the voter's confidence in a lackadaisical performance. there is no perceivable sense of leadership from the liberals or from monsieur dion.
Well said. The LPC is in a truly sad state of affairs these days and no amount of pretense or hopeful apologetics can disguise their incompetence and lack of vision.
Rev.Paperboy said...
I want to believe that the Dion Liberals are doing what CC did with Patsy Ross - giving them enough rope. A campaign now is going to involve questions about not only Afghanistan and Kyoto, but also Atomic Energy Canada, the Wheat Board, Cadmanscam, etc etc etc.
Please Mr. Dion, get your ducks in a row and pull the gosh diddly-danged trigger already
PSA, I don't entirely disagree; but I don't think anyone appreciates the difficult position they're in.
Lack of vision? Ok RT, maybe we should try drafting you for our leader.
I'm with the Rev on this one.
...at least the first part.
Robert — I understand the position the Libs are in and sympathize with it, but even though I don't expect an election until next autumn, my patience wears thin…
As for the lack of "vision" that wasn't just blowing smoke. The LPC refuses to release its policy platform until such time as an election is called, so in fact, there is, as I asserted, a notable lack of vision at the moment.
Ti-Guy said...
as I asserted, a notable lack of vision at the moment.
Yay! I don't like "vision" anymore. "Economic prosperity, social justice and environmental sustainability" is good enough for now.
I can just imagine what the Conservatives would do if the Liberals released a platform now. God, the press conference alone would yield images, the subsequent photo-shopping of which would border on the pornographic.
Xanthippa said...
All right...if one were to grant that you are correct in ALL your descriptions of the Liberal party...all the woes, past and present...all the misdeeds, from adscam to the stuff we still have not found out about (but that is there to be found)....all the arrogance you ascribe to the party itself...
WHY SHOULD THE LIBERALS NOT COMMAND A MOJORITY???
After all, these are just trifling little matters that could not ever (or, at least, for long) slow down the righteous (and public-cash-spending) LIBERALS!!!
They control the civil service! (actually, this is uncomfortably true...) They still have the CHRC's working to hunt down anyone not 'liberal' enough! And, to an unfortunate degree, they control much of the MSM (without the reporters or editors themselves catching on)!
Not even a pipsqueak like Dion could possibly slow down 'the machine'!
(The site did say 'sarcasm' is understood, right????)
liberal supporter said...
On any other day than today, you would receive numerous comments on your question about a "mojority".
i was going to comment on the 'mojority' but unfortunately i neglected to get a screen shot.

Famous Friday – Lana Condor
"To me, a modern American girl doesn't look like any one thing," the author of the book-turned-movie explained. "And when I look at the people I know, so rarely is anyone just one thing and I wanted to acknowledge that and honor it in this story."
To All the Boys I've Loved Before is a popular new teen romance film that debuted on Netflix this month. It is based on the novel by Jenny Han. The film stars 21-year-old actress and dancer Lana Condor as Lara Jean Song Covey. Lara Jean is the middle of three sisters. The story is about Lara Jean writing love letters to her secret crushes. She does not send these letters, but somehow, they find their way to the boys' mailboxes.
I chose to feature Lana Condor for this week's Famous Friday both because of who she is in real life and the character she plays in this film. Lana is biologically Vietnamese but transracially adopted by American parents. The character she plays, Lara Jean, is multiracial, specifically hapa, with a white father and a Korean mother who has previously passed away. While the characters' ethnicity is a part of who they are it is not a crucial part of the plot. Condor's costar, Janel Parrish is quoted as saying, "Our lead just happens to be Asian American." While I agree that our race doesn't define us, a point of note to the Project RACE community, however, is that the three sisters in this story refer to themselves as the "Song Sisters," even though their actual last names are Covey. They do so because they say the world sees them as Asian. We know that, despite what some may believe, it is not the world who gets to decide how we identify.
Lana Condor grew up in Chicago but her family moved to Los Angeles when she was 15. She has a brother who is also adopted. She made her big screen debut as Jubilee in the 2016 superhero film X-Men: Apocalypse, but this is her first lead role. Condor must be an amazing dancer because she studied ballet with some of the best, the Joffrey Ballet and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. She took acting classes at the New York Film Academy and Yale Summer. As a high school freshman, Condor attended the Professional Performing Arts School in New York. She has been accepted to Loyola Marymount University but has several film projects lined up, including the coming-of-age romantic comedy Summer Nights so we will have to see if she ends up going.

Als Schlachtgewicht bezeichnet man das Warmgewicht von geschlachteten Tieren ohne die Innereien und außer bei Schweinen und Geflügel ohne die Haut. In der Verordnung über die Preismeldung bei Schlachtkörpern und deren Kennzeichnung ist festgelegt, dass damit das Warmgewicht vor der Kühlung des Schlachttieres gemeint ist und welche Teile vor der Ermittlung entfernt werden müssen.

Feststellung
Das Schlachtgewicht muss bei den genannten Tierarten immer festgestellt werden, wenn die Bezahlung nach Gewicht erfolgt. Bei Schweinen muss dies innerhalb von 45 Minuten und bei anderen Tierarten innerhalb von einer Stunde nach der Tötung erfolgen.

Vor der Feststellung sind zu entfernen:
Bei Rindern
die Haut, der zwischen Hinterhauptbein und dem ersten Halswirbel abgetrennte  Kopf, die Gliedmaßen unterhalb des Vorderfußwurzelgelenks und des Tarsalgelenks (Fußwurzelgelenk), Die Organe in der Brust- und Bauchhöhle einschließlich der Nieren, das Nieren- und Beckenfettgewebe, das Saumfleisch (Zwerchfell) der Nierenzapfen, der zwischen dem letzten Kreuzbein und erstem Schwanzwirbel rechtwinklig zum Wirbel abgetrennten Schwanz, das Rückenmark, das Sackfett bzw. bei weiblichen Tieren das Euter und Euterfett (ein genau festgelegter Teil des Fettgewebes), das Oberschalenkranzfett, die Halsvene und das anhaftende Fettgewebe
Bei Kälbern verbleibt der Schwanz am Schlachtkörper
Bei Schweinen
die Zunge, die Geschlechtsorgane, das Rückenmark, die Organe der Brust- und Bauchhöhle einschließlich der Nieren, die Flomen, das Zwerchfell und das Gehirn. Bei Sauen, die mindestens einmal geferkelt haben, Zuchtebern und Altschneidern sind die Spitzbeine in den Fußwurzeln- und Handwurzelgelenken abzutrennen.
Bei Schafen
die Haut, der Kopf, die zwischen Vorderfußwurzelgelenk und Tarsalgelenk abgetrennten Gliedmaßen, der Schwanz sowie die Organe der Brust- und Bauchhöhle einschließlich der Nieren.
bei Hühnern
die Innereien, der Kopf und die Füße.

Bedeutung
Außer zur Feststellung des auszuzahlenden Erlöses an die Tierhalter dient das Schlachtgewicht auch als betriebswirtschaftliche Vergleichszahl in der landwirtschaftlichen Betriebsführung. Eine möglichst hohe Ausschlachtung, das heißt, dass der prozentuale Anteil der entfernten Teile möglichst gering bleiben soll, wird dabei angestrebt. Eine schlechte Ausschlachtung deutet auf Managementfehler im Bereich Rassenwahl, Fütterung etc., welche zu einer schlechten Futterverwertung mit einer verlängerten Mastdauer und der damit verbundenen schlechten Ausnutzung der vorhandenen Stallplätze führt.

Ausschlachtung
Das Verhältnis von Schlachtgewicht zu Lebendgewicht des Tieres vor der Schlachtung heißt Ausschlachtung oder Ausschlachtungsgrad. Die Ausschlachtung beträgt beim Rind 50 bis 65 Prozent (mit einer weiten Streuung insbesondere nach unten), beim Schwein 75 bis 83,5 Prozent, beim Hähnchen 70 bis 72 Prozent, beim Schaf 48 bis 54 Prozent, bei Puten rund 75 Prozent und beim Pferd ungefähr 60 Prozent.

Our children create fantastic artwork, which is often related to our topic work. Art skills are built gradually from Reception to Year Six, and the children's sketchbooks show the progress which they make.
Their artwork is displayed around the school, and can also be seen in their art books, and within all their work, where they often accompany written work with careful illustrations.
Art includes work with a wide variety of media, including pencils, charcoal, graphite, oil and chalk pastels and paint. Children are also given opportunities to work with collage, textiles, clay and 3D sculpture work.
