Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep for PSP
Square Enix has confirmed that Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep is coming to North America and Europe this September exclusively on the PSP.
The following is an extract from the press release.
Long before Sora was chosen by his Keyblade, the worlds' safety lay in the hands of true Keyblade Masters.
Three youths — Terra, Ventus, and Aqua — have been training long and hard under Master Eraqus to prove that they, too, exhibit the Mark of Mastery.
But they will soon find themselves in the middle of a crisis affecting worlds far beyond their own — just as another Keyblade Master, Xehanort, goes mysteriously missing.
Three friends, three destinies. Everything will link back to the beginning.
An essential piece to the KINGDOM HEARTS series arrives on the PSP system: From world-renowned creator and character designer Tetsuya Nomura comes the latest installment in the beloved KINGDOM HEARTS series. The vibrant and colorful KINGDOM HEARTS world comes to life in 16:9 widescreen presentation, through stunning graphics made possible by the PSP system hardware
Disney worlds and characters new to the KINGDOM HEARTS series: Disney worlds and characters never before seen in KINGDOM HEARTS, such as Enchanted Dominion (Sleeping Beauty) and Castle of Dreams (Cinderella) will make their first appearances in KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep
Three distinct gaming experiences through the eyes of three protagonists: Unravel the mystery surrounding the origin of the KINGDOM HEARTS saga through the tales of three unique characters — Terra, Ventus and Aqua. The whole story is revealed only after playing through with all three characters
An action-packed combat system with intuitive controls: The familiar action-packed experience that KINGDOM HEARTS fans have come to embrace returns with an enhanced battle system and all-new features such as Command Styles, Command Decks, Shotlocks and Dimension Links. KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep is the most advanced KINGDOM HEARTS title to date
Four exciting multiplayer modes: Experience the excitement and fun with your friends with four brand-new multiplayer modes: Versus Mode, Arena Mode, Command Board and Rumble Racing
New game features: The North American release will include a number of new features including an extra boss, additional multiplayer options, and Crown Stickers: a reward system where players earn prizes by collecting and placing stickers into an album
An outstanding voice cast: KINGDOM HEARTS fans will surely be in for one unforgettable experience, thanks to an impressive voice cast featuring the talents of Mark Hamill, Willa Holland, Jesse McCartney, Leonard Nimoy and James Woods, among others

Phoenix Deer Valley and Goodyear airports soar under the radar
Generally flying under the media's radar yet soaring in terms of air traffic and flight programs, the Phoenix Deer Valley airport is the busiest general aviation airport in the nation and ranks among the busiest airports in the world.
Phoenix Deer Valley handled 415,166 aircraft operations last year, generating $380.5 million in economic impact ($196.2 million, directly) and creating over 900 jobs in aviation, technology, business services, and the public sector.
"It's the busiest general aviation airport in the country," Deer Valley airport manager Ed Faron said. "The airport offers a complete range of services, including fueling, avionics repair, maintenance, parts, flight training, new and used aircraft sales, aircraft rentals, and a restaurant. Cutter Aviation is its fixed-based operators, and the airport is home to nearly 1,100 aircraft. Phoenix Deer Valley Airport is uniquely poised for growth in that it features 200 acres of undeveloped airport property. This land is available for aeronautical uses such as storage hangars, aircraft maintenance facilities, or virtually any other aviation-related use."
Phoenix Deer Valley is also home to two of the busiest flight schools in the nation, Westwind School of Aeronautics and AeroGuard. Both schools have several hundred pilots enrolled at any given time, and AeroGuard, in particular, allows cadets to fly over eight times the number of other flight schools due to the size of Phoenix Deer Valley.
"There are two very busy flight schools at Deer Valley," Faron said. "Both cater to the global market and each has several hundred student pilots enrolled in their programs at any given time. Both schools have very structured flight training programs that are geared toward individuals intent on becoming professional pilots. "
Phoenix Goodyear (GYR) is another airport based in the Phoenix metropolitan area that services thousands of business travelers, which is largely attributed to the infrastructure expansion in the area.
"Our Fixed Base Operator (Lux Air Jet Centers) services business aircraft, as well as military jets and other aircraft needing fuels and services at GYR. Business demand continues to grow at GYR because of the location of GYR being on the west side of the Valley with increasing growth, as well as the infrastructure investment which has been significant the last five years," Phoenix-Goodyear airport manager Brad Hagen explains. "Goodyear has had tremendous business development the past several years, with major companies, such as Microsoft, that have chosen to invest here. In addition to the growth in the West Valley, there are major highway extensions of 202 and 303 that are being built near Phoenix Goodyear Airport improving access to the Phoenix area and major markets."
Hagen explains that there are many business fliers who will base their airplane at the Phoenix Goodyear airport and fly out to other markets as needed. Their clientele includes businesses of all sizes and industries, including manufacturing, distribution, agriculture, and sports events.
In addition to its extensive business aircraft operations, Phoenix Goodyear has its own flight training school. Lufthansa Airlines Training has more than 250 resident students on site and provides initial training for Lufthansa Airlines. Additionally, GYR is home to Fly Goodyear, a flight school that trains individuals from other countries such as Korea, Hagen says.
Unique to GYR is their repair and refurbishing arm AerSale, which maintains and overhauls large aircraft. AerSale is the biggest business partner at GYR, both in terms of lease size, number of jobs, and revenue.
"AerSale, a global leader in the supply of aftermarket aircraft, engines and asset management, provides aircraft maintenance and modifications for large aircraft as well as storage and disassembly," Hagen continues. "They are an incredible partner offering Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services to very large aircraft. They do heavy maintenance on aircraft as large as a B-767. AerSale leases two very large hangars at Phoenix Goodyear Airport. Those hangars provide infrastructure for maintaining, servicing, and painting of large aircraft."
Phoenix Goodyear has completed $30 million of investment projects in the last four years, including the pavement of multiple runways, a state-of-the-art Lux Air Jet Centers facility, and additional hangars.
Looking forward, the airport recently completed a master plan update that forecasts their projects for the next twenty years. The plan identifies approximately $35M in projects, which will largely be funded through FAA and ADOT grants. This ensures that Phoenix Goodyear Airport will continue to have the infrastructure to support the additional growth in traffic and development of new programs projected for the future.

Source: Huawei Mate 30 and Huawei Mate 30 Pro will appear in Europe in mid-November
Huawei has announced the flagship line of smartphones Mate 30 back in September, but there are still no news
sold in Europe. It looks like this will change soon.
According to a source from China familiar with the planscompanies, Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro will appear on the shelves of European stores on November 15. The following countries will enter the first wave: Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Great Britain and Switzerland.
Recall smartphones will ship out of the boxc latest version of the operating system Android 10, but unfortunately, without branded Google applications. All because of the trade war between the USA and China. For ordinary Huawei Mate 30 on 8/128 GB they will ask for 800 euros, and for the top Mate 30 Pro - from 1100 euros. For the 5G version, the Mate 30 Pro will have to pay 100 euros more.

When fragile items are shipped, special precautions must be taken to protect them. (Read Part I in our series on container mounts to understand what kinds of items need these precautions and what forces may be at work to damage the items). Container mounts can offer the required protection, but they must be carefully sized and selected—or even specially designed—to meet stringent engineering criteria.
Mounts must exhibit the proper stiffness, or flexibility, to absorb energy created by the shock and vibration being transmitted to a container's payload. They act by storing or dissipating the forces imposed on the payload and releasing this stored energy in a controlled manner, so that the peak forces transmitted are below the critical level (or fragility) for the product being shipped. Key design considerations are the specific formulation of the elastomer used and the geometry of the mount.
The standard line of LORD Corporation's shipping container mounts uses a specially compounded synthetic elastomer called SPE® I. This silicone-based material has high strength, medium damping and low temperature flexibility. For the geometry of the mount, energy dissipation is best achieved when mounts are positioned to resist shear forces; however, it is sometimes necessary to angle the mounts in a "focalized" formation to prevent rotation of a specific object. This angled formation aligns the elastic center of a mounting system more closely with the center-of-gravity of the mounted equipment. In some instances, optimal shock and vibration protection will require mounts to be placed on pivoting supports (gimballed) or may even require a special mount design conceived to provide low spring rates and high deflections in all directions. LORD can assist customers with mount selection as well as custom-engineer a mount system.
A thorough dynamic analysis is recommended any time that a mounted object is very fragile, predictable results are essential to protect your investment, or if the container system must pass rigid shock and/or vibration tests. LORD's proprietary software will assess vibratory inputs, fragility and stability. The analysis will also consider a wide range of temperatures (-65 to +165F) under which the system must perform.
LORD offers a Shipping Container Suspension System Questionnaire that outlines the minimum data required for mount selection (payload weight, container size, input for shock, etc.). Customers can use this form to perform a self-analysis or transmit it to LORD for a detailed, formal system analysis. Our engineering assistance is available from initial design stages through post-transit customer service.
The rugged assembly of LORD's container mounts offers controlled protection in all directions and a long service life, even under severe conditions. Furthermore, our bonded elastomeric mounts are simple, versatile, economical and easy to install.

Construction begins on new University of Florida Public Safety Building
By Robert S. White on	 July 19, 2021 Business Unit
By Eric Althoff
ORLANDO — Architect SchenkelShultz has completed design work for the University of Florida Public Safety Building, which is currently under construction. The Public Safety Building is supposed to be a centralized location for the University of Florida Police Department (UFPD), so it can respond more quickly to a wider variety of public safety concerns on campus. The facility will also allow the university police force to be more visible and accessible to the surrounding campus community.
The new building brings together five separate business units under one single room. Administrative offices and community meeting rooms will be complemented by meeting rooms, public archives, interview spaces, locker rooms, vehicle shelter and various other offices.
In a recent statement, Ekta Desai, a partner at SchenkelShultz, said her company is proud of the project and that the building will provide a 'gateway' to the campus.
"By working with UF and testing options within our studio, we were able to create a practical, welcoming and efficient space that will accommodate multiple public safety services," Desai said.
"With the company's growing talent in public safety design and community orientation, we have been able to leverage our expertise to create a space that will increase efficiency and impact," added Johnnie Lohrum Jr. , who is both director and head of the public security market. chef at SchenkelShultz. "It is important for our firm to focus on projects that will have a positive impact on our community. "
SchenkelShultz has several dozen public safety projects in its portfolio, including renovations and expansions of facilities for first responders and public safety officials at airports, fire stations, medical campuses and other facilities. . Ajax Building is the project contractor.

Armstrong Wells Sperry (November 7, 1897 – April 26, 1976) was an American writer and illustrator of children's literature. His books include historical fiction and biography, often set on sailing ships, and stories of boys from Polynesia, Asia and indigenous American cultures. He is best known for his 1941 Newbery Medal-winning book Call It Courage.

Early training as an artist
Born the third and youngest son of a businessman in New Haven, Sperry attended Stamford Preparatory School from 1908 to 1915. His older brother Paul A. Sperry invented what became the first boat shoe, the Sperry Top-Sider. He attended the Art Students League of New York from 1915 to 1918, where he studied with F. Luis Mora and George Bellows. He then studied at the Yale School of Art in the fall of 1918 until drafted into the United States Navy at the very end of World War I.

Inspired by reading the work of Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Jack London as a boy, and then Frederick O'Brien's White Shadows in the South Seas in 1919, he traveled around the South Pacific from October 1920 to May 1921, spending time on Tahiti, Raiatea, Bora Bora, New Zealand, Australia, the Fiji Islands, and Hawaii.  In December 1921, one of his paintings of the South Seas was exhibited at the Art Centre, NYC.

In the summer of 1922, Sperry was introduced to Kenneth Emory, an ethnologist at the Bishop Museum, Honolulu, by his foster sister, Anne Kinnear.  He spent the spring of 1923 studying at the Académie Colarossi in Paris, and continued to enroll at the Art Students League during the 1920s and early 1930s.

From September 1924 to May 1925, he was employed as an assistant to Kenneth Emory on board the Kaimiloa, a yacht owned by Medford Kellum, sailing from Hawaii to Fanning Island, Christmas Island, Malden Island, Penrhyn Island, Tahiti, Bora Bora,  Raiatea on scientific research, although continuing to paint, exhibiting his work in Honolulu. before sailing to San Francisco in June 1925

Returning to New York in 1925, he worked in an advertising agency, "drawing vacuum cleaners, milk bottles, Campbell's Soup, etc.,", then he had steady work as an illustrator of pulp romances, primarily for All-Story Love Stories for the Frank A. Munsey Company, and adventure and romance newspaper serials for Metropolitan Newspaper Service/United Feature Syndicate, including many 72-part stories by Mildred Barbour. He started writing his own adventure stories with tales of the South Seas that were syndicated by Metropolitan. He illustrated books and dust jackets for other writers, including the first edition of Tarzan and the Lost Empire by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1929 and the first of several books he would illustrate for Helen Follet, Magic Portholes in 1932. He married Margaret Robertson, a medical doctor and daughter of San Francisco bookseller and publisher A. M. Robertson, in 1930, whom he had met on his trip to Hawaii in 1925.

From illustrator to award-winning writer

Sperry's first book, One Day with Manu, a colorfully illustrated tale of everyday life in Bora Bora, appeared in 1933. Critic Joan McGrath, cautions modern readers to take his depictions of other cultures in context, stating, "His early work, such as the tales of Manu, Jambi, and Tuktu, are unlikely to be found in library collections of today, in an era rendered more sensitive to the feelings of minority cultures and racial pride than in the 1930s. Coloured as they were by the prevailing attitudes of his day, Sperry's ethnological works for young readers would by critics of today be stigmatized as condescending in their approach: it is all too easy to lose the historical perspective that would credit him with enlightenment and objectivity, given their date of publication."

Sperry's great-grandfather was a sea captain, inspiring his love of the ocean and his book All Sail Set about the clipper ship Flying Cloud, which won him a Newbery Honor Book award in 1936. Although settled in New Canaan, Connecticut, in 1934, Sperry and his family lived Santa Fe, New Mexico, for a year, inspiring several books, including Wagons Westward: The Story of the Old Trail to Santa Fe in 1936 and Little Eagle, a Navaho Boy in 1938.

 On February 13, 1940 Call It Courage was published by The MacMillan Company, the story about a young boy on the island of Hikueru in Polynesia written and illustrated by Sperry.  He was awarded the Newbery Medal for 1940 on June 20, 1941, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, by the Children's Library Section of the American Library Association. At his acceptance of the Medal, he said, "I had been afraid that perhaps in Call It Courage, the concept of spiritual courage might be too adult for children, but the reception of this book has reaffirmed a belief I have long held: that children have imagination enough to grasp any idea, and respond to it, if it is put to them honestly and without a patronizing pat on the head."

Sperry purchased a farm in Thetford Center, Vermont, in the late 1930s, and then moved to Hanover, New Hampshire, at the beginning of World War II.  In 1944, he won the New York Herald Tribune Children's Spring Book Festival Award for Storm Canvas, a story of a boy on the U.S. frigate Thunderbolt in 1814, and in 1949, he won the Boys' Clubs of America Junior Book Award for the 1947 publication of The Rain Forest.

Although established as a writer, Sperry continued to illustrate dustjackets for other well-known authors of young adult fiction of his era, including Howard Pease, Agnes D. Hewes, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Florence C. Means, and Hildegarde Hawthorne, as well as illustrating various basal readers for the Ginn Co. In 1951, he illustrated an adaptation by Allen Chaffee of Longfellow's Story of Hiawatha.

In 1942, he published his only novel for adult readers, No Brighter Glory, about the Astor family.

Titles in print
In addition to Call It Courage, which has been in print continuously since first published in 1940 and translated into dozens of languages, All Sail Set and Wagons Westward were reissued in 1986 and 2001 respectively by David R. Godine, and John Paul Jones, Fighting Sailor was reissued in 2006 as John Paul Jones, The Pirate Patriot by Sterling Point Books.

COMPOSER, GUITARIST AND PRODUCER TAKES THE STAGE AT ROCKWOOD MUSIC HALL
By Nick Christophers July 2016 Features
The summer couldn't have opened up any better at the Rockwood Music Hall than with having prolific artist Gideon King give a sold out show with one of his musical partners, Saul Rivers. Gideon has been rocking his way around the world for years. He has recently created a critically acclaimed and unique studio band called Gideon King & City Blog. Gideon has managed to meld rock, funk, jazz and pop to create an attractive new sound. He has collaborated with many key players in the industry. The studio band he has assembled combines artists like James Genus ( bass player for Daft Punk / Herbie Hancock), Kevin Hays (recorded with Brad Mehldau and toured with John Scofield), Marc Broussard(well-known singer-songwriter), and Donny Mccaslin(sax player for late David Bowie).
Gideon's goal was to weave these amazing artists together seamlessly. Their recent CD "City Blog" is a testament to their artistry. His influences (Steely Dan, Neil Young, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Wayne Shorter, amongst others) are interwoven into his music. King plays electric, acoustic, and synth guitars throughout his CD and live performances. Singers like Grace Weber, who has recently co-written music with Kanye West and Chance The Rapper, add vocal texture to Gideon's Music. One of Gideon's favorite vocalists Elliot Skinner (Thirdstory) offers his voice on "Dirty Bastard" and "City Blog". Marc Broussard, famous for his soulful voice, is also featured in the effort. The band title Gideon King & City Blog is meant to both signify the ever-changing nature of musical dialogue and remind us of the unstable energy of New York City.
"Bringing these artists together to support and augment the chord changes and lyrics I write is the fun part of this whole thing. It allows me to lay pop sensibilities over harmonically rich music. The Secret Sauce is finding musicians that are far better than I am(which is not hard to do) and letting them create."
The CD "City Blog" reminds of Steely Dan, Bob Dylan and Ray Charles. From the title track "City Blog" to "Glide" the album takes us on a journey from the gritty streets of NYC to the inside-out behavioral contradictions of New Yorkers. Gideon holds nothing back and immerses his listener into the back alleys and psychological drama that are his hometown, Manhattan.
At the Rockwood Music Hall Rivers & King belted out one terrific song after another. They played to a packed house and the reception and applause was vigorous. The live show smacked of real people playing real music. King noted he is proud to be supporting talented singer-songwriter Saul Rivers. King often talks of how music has become buried under compression and fake instruments. There has been none of that with Rivers & King. It is like a breath of fresh air. He believes in the true core of creating music not someone with a computer pushing buttons. Old fashion as he may sound the author of this piece feels the same way.
King enjoys branching out from his core Gideon King & City Blog concept. So far Rivers & King has taken the stage at Arlene's Grocery and Rockwood Music Hall with fantastic sets. Next they will be playing The Cutting Room on August 11th, and there is rumor of shows at huge venues.
Meanwhile, King is working on his second Gideon King & City Blog album, entitled Broken & Beautiful. This album features new additions to the team and invites back most of the members of the first album.
You want pure vocals and real instruments with memorable solos tucked in to the compositions, then Gideon King & City Blog are the way to go.

Have you ever heard the term, "trolley park," in reference to an amusement park and wondered what it meant? It refers to a specific type of park that was once quite popular, but has nearly disappeared. The handful that remain are classic examples of a bygone era.
Trolley parks are so named because U.S. railway companies constructed them in the late 1800s and early 1900s as a way to drum up weekend business. During the week, passengers kept the trolleys full as they commuted to and from work, but on the weekends, ridership, and revenue from collected fares, were low. The companies typically placed the parks at the ends of their lines to maximize use of the streetcars (and to maximize their profits). In addition to building the parks, the rail companies typically owned and operated the parks.
Often, the railway companies also owned the electric utility in a community and would use the parks to showcase electricity (which many homeowners did not have in the parks' early years) by decorating them with many lights. Typically built by lakes, rivers, or beaches, the parks offered swimming along with bandstands, picnic groves, and ball fields. A carousel was often the first amusement ride to open at a park. Roller coasters and spinning rides came later.
One trolley park that survived both the advent of the automobile and the rise of the theme park was Geauga Lake in Ohio. It closed in 2007 after a few years of turmoil.
Today, 13 trolley parks remain. They typically include some of the classic rides that have graced their grounds for decades, are often independently owned and operated, and have a decidedly un-corporate look and feel to them. Trolley parks may also be known as amusement parks, picnic groves, picnic parks, or pleasure parks.
A close relative of the trolley park is the seaside park. They came on the scene about the same time. Instead of being connected to a mode of transportation, the seaside parks were all about their locations along popular beaches. One of the most famous examples of a seaside park is Coney Island. The legendary Brooklyn, New York amusement area is still plugging away. But as with trolley parks, most seaside parks have closed.
Bushkill Pak in Easton, PA. Opened in 1902.
Lakemont Park in Altoona, PA. Opened 1894. Note that Lakemont closed for the 2017 season, but may reopen in 2018.

Trade shows are very important events for a company but too often companies do not put enough emphasis in their booths to get people interested in them. If attendees are not interested in the Trade show booth, they will walk by. If the booth intrigues them, they may stop to check it out. However, if they are truly interested, they will stop and learn more about the company.
Getting people to Trade show booths and attractions to get them interested in the booth is not easy. Booth attractions can be a variety of things, but you have to make sure you do not go overboard with it. You want to attract potential customers to your booth, not scare them away by too much 'flair'.
By deploying strategies to maximize booth traffic, you'll have greater opportunity to increase sales and achieve your show objectives. A theme should be assigned to the Trade show booth and carried throughout every facet. Booth decorations, sales rep clothing and giveaways should all be consistent and incorporate the theme.
One great idea is to select a bright color for your color theme. For example, put orange balloons in your booth, have your sales reps wear an orange logo-ed shirt and purchase orange logo-ed water bottles. The water bottle will be carried throughout the convention and do your advertising. People will stop someone to find out where they received the bottle. All they need to do is point out your orange balloons. But don't just hand out the empty bottles. Have a water cooler in the back of your booth for attendees to fill their bottle with. Only offer the bottle and water if they stop and spend time with you. Remember you are there for your customers and to build a large customer base.
Being an exhibitor at a trade show can be one of the most important moves your business makes. However, it's also possible to spend a lot of money and walk away without getting the results you anticipated. To get the most from the dollars you spend on exhibiting and promotional items, choose items that people will love to use once they return home. Useful promotional items strengthen your brand in the mind of the trade show attendee and introduce or strengthen your brand to new potential customers.
Remember - start with a solid promotional plan for attracting visitors to your trade show booth.
Incorporate a theme and carry it throughout your plan. Also, since every booth and competitor will be giving away promotional items, it is essential that your giveaway stands out from the crowd and is something everyone wants.


The large volcano of Emi Koussi at the SE end of the Tibesti Range forms the highest summit of the Sahara. The 60 x 80 km massif was constructed over a basement of Cretaceous and Paleozoic sandstones. Two nested calderas, 12 x 15 km in size, truncate the dominantly trachytic volcano, whose 3415 m high point lies on the southern caldera rim of the low-angle pyroclastic shield volcano. The calderas contain several explosion craters, lava domes, and young scoria cones, along with lava flows of recent and pre-modern age (Geze et al., 1959). The spectacular Era Kohor (Trou au Natron du Koussi) caldera on the SE floor of the 2nd caldera is 2-3 km wide and 350 m deep. The latest activity in the calderas produced three maars, and numerous basaltic cinder cones and associated lava flows have been constructed both within the calderas and on their outer flanks. The Yi-Yerra thermal area is located on the southern flank.

"The 1920s were a great time for reading" (Bill Bryson)
August 30, 2016 June 9, 2018 / madamebibilophile	/ 28 Comments
A little while ago I wrote about Sarah Water's The Paying Guests, her novel set in the 1920s, which I took refuge in as I was trying to grow my hair into a bob (well, it made sense at the time). Rest easy reader, I know you must have been worrying about it, but a friend proclaimed this weekend that my hair looks most definitely bob-like so I'm walking around like a fabulous flapper:
Maybe not. But regardless, to celebrate I'm looking at two novels from the 1920s, as recommended by Sarah Waters at the end of The Paying Guests. Choosing from the list of ten was a serious business, involving shortlists, consulting with various bookish types, taking votes…. OK, I just picked the two I had on my TBR mountain 🙂
Firstly, The Judge by Rebecca West (1922) which Sarah Waters describes thusly: "Suffragism, illegitimacy, motherhood, melodrama: like lots of West's fiction, this is sprawling, brilliant, funny – and a little bit crazy." The story begins in Edinburgh, where Ellen, nineteen years old, beautiful and a suffragette, meets Richard Yaverland:
"For sufficient reasons he was very sensitive to the tragedies of women, and he knew it was a tragedy that such a face should surmount such a body. For her body would imprison her in soft places: she would be allowed no adventures other than love, no achievements other than births."
Later in the story it will emerge what those sufficient reasons are, but against her better judgement Ellen falls in love with worldly, handsome Richard.
"She was not sure that she approved of love. The position of women being what it was. Men were tyrants, and they seemed to be able to make their wives ignoble. Married women were often anti-Suffragists; they were often fat; they never seemed to go out on long walks in the hills or write poetry."
Alongside this humour and Ellen's naivety "I will have nothing to do with any man until I am great. Then I suppose I will have to use them as pawns in my political and financial intrigues" West does have something serious to say about relationships between the sexes at that moment in time. The Judge presents detailed character studies of Ellen, Richard and his mother Marion, and how society has influenced the nature and capacity of their love. This is not a rose-tinted view of young marriage by any means.
"Perhaps something like fear would have come upon her if she had known how immense he felt with victory; how he contemplated her willingness to love him in a passion of timeless wonder, watching her journey from heaven, stepping from star to star, all the way down the dark whirling earth of his heart; and how even while he felt a solemn agony at his unworthiness he was busily contriving their immediate marriage. For there was a steely quality about his love that would have been more appropriate to some vindictive purpose."
The second half of the novel sees Ellen leave Edinburgh to live with Richard and his mother in the Home Counties. More emerges about the circumstances of Richard's illegitimacy and subsequently complex family dynamics. It is at this point that the melodrama mentioned by Sarah Waters really starts to ramp up. I think it's here that the novel may start to lose readers, but although it begins to spiral somewhat, I still thought the novel had a lot to say about women's position and the ramifications of moral absolutes. Marion and Richard have a relationship Freud would have found great mileage in, teetering on the edge of impropriety. Ellen is understandably somewhat befuddled by this brittle woman and her weird family, but she decides they suit her:
"The rapidity with which she had changed from the brooding thing she generally was, with her heavy eyes and her twitching hands perpetually testifying that the chords of her life had not been resolved and she was on edge to hear their final music, and the perfection with which she had assumed this bland and glossy personality at a moment's notice, struck Ellen with wonder and admiration. She liked the way this family turned and doubled under the attack of fate. She felt glad that she was going to become one of them, just as a boy might feel proud on joining a pirate crew."
The Judge is somewhat overblown, but I enjoyed it for that reason – sometimes it's nice to indulge in a bit of mad melodramatics alongside the serious issues.
Secondly, Vera by Elizabeth von Arnim (1921) which Sarah Waters describes as "a brilliant depiction of a sinister, suffocating marriage, this novel also features one of the most likeable spinster aunts in British fiction." Sinister is right: this is a very different tale to the delightful The Enchanted April. Definitely not escapist, Vera is rather one of those novels where you want to reach into the book, yank out one of the characters and shake them until they listen to you, the older, wiser reader. Maybe I get over-involved in my reading…
Lucy Entwhistle, young and naïve, finds herself almost alone in the world after her beloved father dies. Blundering into her grief moments after the death is the older, good-looking Wemyss, also grieving a loss, as his wife has recently died in possibly murky circumstances:
"'How good you are!' she said to Wemyss, her red eyes filling. 'What would I have done without you?'
'But what would I have done without you?' he answered; and they stared at each other, astonished at the nature of the bond between them, at its closeness, at the way it seemed almost miraculously to have been arranged that they should meet on the crest of despair and save each other."
Vera is extremely clever, as at first we don't like Wemyss, but like Lucy's beloved spinster Aunt Dorothy, it's not totally clear why: "whatever she felt about his legs she welcomed him with the utmost cordiality". The more time he spends with Lucy, the more unpleasant he reveals himself to be – a wholly self-centred, arrogant, ignorant bully. Aunt Dorothy is wise enough to realise that if she registers her objections, it will only push Wemyss and Lucy closer together, and so she keeps quiet, though distressed, as she watches the tragedy unfold.
"His way of courting wouldn't be – she searched about in her uneasy mind for a word, and found vegetarian. Yes; that word sufficiently indicated what she meant: it wouldn't be vegetarian."
Von Arnim's lovely humour stops the tale being bleak, but it is a tense tale, increasingly so after Wemyss and Lucy marry less than a year from the death of the titular wife. The scales begin to fall from Lucy's eyes:
"One learns a lot on a honeymoon, Lucy reflected, and one of the things she had learned was that Wemyss's mind was always made up."
But Lucy doesn't realise the extent of what is going on in her marriage. We are living at a time of fourth-wave feminism, and in a post-Freudian world, so I would say Lucy is in a psychologically abusive marriage with a narcissistic, megalomaniac sadist who seeks to destroy her. But she cannot see it.
"the mood of tender, half-asleep acquiescence in which, as she lay in his arms, he most loved her; then indeed she was his baby…You couldn't passionately protect Vera. She was always in another room."
Wise Vera. There is a glimmer of hope, and that hope is the wonderful Aunt Dorothy. Never underestimate the clear-sighted spinster Wemyss, you have no idea who you're dealing with.

Vera is a brilliantly written psychological study of the dangers for women in a society that seeks to position them as economically and socially dependent on men, particularly when this dependency is wrapped up in romantic notions. It made me furious and it made me sad. It also made me glad that although we have some way to go, I live where my rights as a woman are enshrined in law.
To end, what Lucy needs is a Lesley Gore classic cranked up to 11, sung by the perennially awesome feminist icon Joan Jett:

The 2016 Olympics have come to an end (boo!) but we still have the Paralympics to come (hooray!) There have been astonishing achievements by those who seem to have been made from very different stuff to us mere mortals. When they seem doused in more than their fair share of charisma as well, you can't even make yourself feel better by thinking that they're probably horrible people, because they're just so funny and charming about it all. Who could I be thinking of….?
Human being 2.0
To celebrate the Olympics, I thought I'd take up triathlon sit on my backside reading, of course. It's Women In Translation Month (head over to Meytal's blog to read all about WITmonth) so I'm looking at two novellas by Brazilian women writers. This will also be one more stop on my Around the World in 80 Books Reading Challenge, hosted by Hard Book Habit.
Firstly, Agua Viva by Clarice Lispector (1973, tr. Stefan Tobler 2012). Although I've called this a novella, I'm not sure that's really what it is. It's a series of impressions and observations, plotless but definitely not artless.
"This is life seen by life. I may not have meaning but it is the same lack of meaning that the pulsing vein has."
I say it's not artless, because although Agua Viva can give the impression of randomness, it's carefully constructed to carry you through, the different passages building on and echoing one another.
"So writing is the method of using the word as bait: the word fishing for whatever is not word. When this non-word – between the lines – takes the bait, something has been written…so what saves you is writing absentmindedly.
I don't want to have the terrible limitation of those who live merely from what can make sense. Not I: I want an invented truth."
"I notice that I'm writing as if I were between sleep and wakefulness."
Agua Viva quite a difficult work to talk about, because it resists being pinned down. I could attach various labels to it: impressionistic, modernist, stream-of-consciousness, but none of these are quite right. On this reading – for I suspect it changes every time you read it – I felt it was about trying to capture the immediate present, to pin down moments knowing that they are gone forever just as you recognise them. The style lends itself to this theme, as it jumps and disorientates, on occasions tipping over into surrealism:
"I am feeling the martyrdom of an untimely sensuality. In the early hours I awake full of fruit. Who will come to gather the fruit of my life? If not you and I myself? Why is it that things an instant before they happen already seem to have happened? It's because of the simultaneity of time. And so I ask you questions and these will be many. Because I am a question."
I read Agua Viva cover to cover, and I do wonder if this was the wrong approach. While the kaleidoscopic style and images build towards an overall impression, Agua Viva would equally lend itself to being dipped into, reading a single passage and ruminating on it. Apparently the Brazilian singer Cazuza read Agua Viva 111 times. I suspect it's that sort of book: either you hurl it against the wall within minutes of opening it, or it becomes a mercurial companion for life.
I can't sum myself up because you can't add a chair and two apples. I am a chair and two apples. And I cannot be added up."
Secondly, With My Dog-Eyes by Hilda Hilst (1986 tr. Adam Morris 2014). This is also a disorienting , unsettling work, non-linear and impressionistic. Hilst uses this style to create a highly effective portrait of Professor Amos Keres, who is having some sort of breakdown or psychotic episode. The fractured story-telling serves to take the reader inside the mind of someone who is extremely unwell.
"Poetry and mathematics. The black stone structure breaks and you see yourself in a saturation of lights, a clear-cut unhoped-for. A clear-cut unhoped-for was what he felt and understood at the top of that small hill. But he didn't see shapes or lines, didn't see contours or lights, he was invaded by colours, life, flashless, dazzling, dense, comely, a sunburst that was not fire. He was invaded by incommensurable meaning. He could only say that. Invaded by incommensurable meaning."
The narrative shifts from third to first person as Keres copes with his boss suggesting he take a break, and then spends the day thinking over his life since boyhood, his career and his marriage. This makes it sound more linear and contained than it is, and does With My Dog-Eyes a great disservice. Its power comes from its layering of ideas and images with such rapidity as to almost assault the reader – never incoherent but an effective immersion in an unravelling mind.
"And everything begins anew, the patience of these animals infinitely digging a hole, until one day (I hoped, why not?) transparence inundates body and heart, body and heart of mine, Amos, animal infinitely digging a hole. In mathematics, the old world of catastrophes and syllables, of imprecision and pain was cracking up. I no longer saw hard faces twisting into questions, in tears so many times, I didn't see the gaze of the other on mine, what a thing it can be to have eyes on your eyes, eyes on your mouth. Waiting for what kind of word? Such formidable cruelties occurring every day, humans meeting and in the good-mornings and good-afternoons such secrets, such crimes, such chalice of lies…"
It's a good job this was a novella (59 pages in my edition) as I don't think I could have taken much more of it (that's a recommendation, not a criticism). With My Dog-Eyes is a short, sharp, shock: a plunge into madness.
To end, I was very excited that Caetano Veloso was performing at the Olympic opening ceremony, but I don't think the acoustics did him any favours in capturing his wonderfully sensitive voice. Here he is as part of the Pedro Almodovar film Hable Con Ella (Talk to Her):
"One benefit of summer was that each day we had more light to read by." (Jeanette Walls)
A couple of weeks ago the news reported it was the busiest day for holiday getaways. And just in case there was any doubt that this was a British news story, it was delivered by a reporter standing next to a motorway, framed within a narrative context of extreme traffic jams, while the traffic behind her was disappointingly free-flowing. Brilliant. It's the first bit of news that raised a smile from me after Brexit.
Sadly, my finances are as dire as ever so I will have to leave the joys of non-existent traffic jams to more solvent souls. Instead I looked to my TBR for some suitably summery titles and came up with two that by coincidence are both short story collections. So not quite the traditional holiday doorstop reading matter, but highly recommended nonetheless.
Firstly, Sunstroke by Tessa Hadley (2007), whose stories explore desire in various guises, showing how it is both extraordinary and everyday. The titular story looks at old friends Rachel and Janie, married with kids, committed to their lives yet willing to risk it all for a moment's sexual excitement:
"Neither is exactly unhappy, but what has built up in them instead is a sense of surplus, of life unlived. Somewhere else, while they are absorbed in pushchairs and fish fingers and wiping bottoms, there must be another world of intense experiences for grown-ups."
Hadley is very good at placing dramatic tension within these ordinary domestic details. Her settings and characters are wholly recogniseable, and it is this that makes her writing challenging: you can't step away from it as something outside your experience. So even if you've never had an affair with your lecturer, tracked down the older woman who got away, or recreated the sexual betrayals of your parents within your own love life, as the protagonists of Hadley's short stories have, it is difficult to claim that these experiences are entirely alien. Is it out of character behaviour, or is it that someone's character is sublimated beneath the ordinary? Hadley questions how secure anything is, how sure we can be of the foundations of our lives, when in a moment, something can happen to change the narrative we've constructed:
"Even if we were good, if we were perfectly and completely chaste, we can't control what happen in our imagination. So being good might only be another kind of lie."
Hadley is a highly skilled writer. Often I found myself on finishing the stories thinking "Oh, that's clever." The collection works as a whole and the individual stories are exactly what the genre should be: powerful, contained, strengthened rather than weakened by their limited words. She's also great at effective turns of phrase:
"For a moment he was sure she could smell something on him, see something of the dazzle that was clinging to him, dripping off him, flashing round in his veins. But he saw her deliberately tidy that intimation away, out of consciousness. This was her husband, the man she knew. He was a physics teacher and competition-standard chess player, wasn't he?"
Duran Duran taking a formal approach to their barging holiday along Birmingham's canal system
Secondly, The Shell Collector by Anthony Doerr (2002), written 12 years before the Pulitzer prize-winning All the Light We Cannot See. Having read this collection, I don't think it's too much to say the Pulitzer potential was already evident – this is a brilliantly written collection of stories, spanning several countries: Kenya, Liberia, the US, Finland, Tanzania. In the titular story, a young boy loses his sight and discovers the love of his life:
"'That's a mouse cowry,' the doctor said. 'A lovely find. It has brown spots, and darker stripes at its base, like tiger stripes. You can't see it, can you?'
But he could. He'd never seen anything so clearly in his life. His fingers caressed the shell, flipped and rotated it. He had never felt anything so smooth – had never imagined something could possess such deep polish. He asked, nearly whispering: 'Who made this?' The shell was still in his hand, a week later, when his father pried it out, complaining of the stink."
As an adult, his quiet life collecting on the coast is disturbed by people wanting him to sting them with cone shells, convinced it will cure their various ills. It is a melancholy tale, about a search for meaning in the world, about loneliness and grief. Ultimately though, it is about resilience and love.
"He took the cone shell and flung it, as far as he could, back into he lagoon. He would not poison them. It felt wonderful to make a decision like this. He wished he had more shells to hurl back into the sea, more poisons to rid himself of."
All eight stories in this collection are beautifully written; wise and moving. Even in such company, one of the stories which stood out for me was The Caretaker, about a Liberian refugee. Joseph Saleeby is not a particularly likable man when we first meet him: selfish, spoilt and making a living illegally. Then war breaks out, and he suffers horribly. He arrives in the US to claim refuge, deeply traumatised. When the bodies of six whales are washed ashore, he takes their hearts and buries them on the estate where he is caretaker:
"He fills the hole, and as he leaves it, a mound of earth and muscle, stark amid a thicket of salmonberry with the trunks of spruce falling back all around it… he feels removed from himself, as though his body were a clumsy tool needed only a little longer. He parks in the yard and falls into bed, gore-soaked and unwashed, the door to the apartment open, the hearts of all six whales wrapped in the earth, slowly cooling. He thinks: I have never been so tired. He thinks: at least I have buried something."
He starts growing fruit and vegetables on the plot of land and befriends the unhappy daughter of the owners. Things do not go well for Joseph as people don't realise how mentally fragile he is, but his friendship with Belle endures:
"The girl saws a wedge from one of the halves. The flesh is wet and shining and Joseph cannot believe the colour – it is as if the melon carried light within it. They each lift a chunk of it to their lips and eat. It seems to him that he can taste the forest, the trees, the storms of the winter and the size of the whales, the stars and the wind. A tiny gob of melon slides down Belle's chin."
Doerr writes with delicacy but without sentimentality. His view is penetrating and unblinking, but compassionate. Just devastating.
To end, summer = Pimms, and this advert = another chance to acknowledge the enduring genius of Adam Ant:

Last week I looked at a Nordic mystery as part of Women in Translation month, and this week I thought I'd make it the central theme – head over to Meytal's blog to read all about WITmonth. The need for Women in Translation month was brought home to me when I went to my TBR shelves thinking "No problem! I have loads of translated literature waiting to be read." Well, yes, I do, but looking at the titles I suddenly realised it was very much dominated by male writers.
I'm glad you asked, Mads. Firstly, The Vegetarian by Korean writer Han Kang (2007, tr. Deborah Smith 2015) and one more stop on my Around the World in 80 Books Reading Challenge, hosted by Hard Book Habit. You probably don't need me to tell you how good The Vegetarian is; it was the glowing reviews and enthusiasm from bloggers that led me to pick up this novel in the first place. The hype was well deserved – The Vegetarian is an unsettling, brutal and beautifully written tale which has stayed with me long after I finished it.
It is the story of Yeong-hye, the titular herbivore, told from three points of view: her husband, her brother-in-law and her sister, over the course of a few years, from the point she starts refusing to eat meat. Her husband can't believe that his wife – whose main appeal was that she impinges on his life in no way whatsoever – would do something so antisocial.
"As far as I was concerned, the only reasonable grounds for altering one's eating habits were the desire to lose weight, an attempt to alleviate certain physical ailments, being possessed by an evil spirit or having your sleep disturbed by indigestion. In any other case, it was nothing but sheer obstinacy for a wife to go against her husband's wishes as mine had done."
Yeong-hye's behaviour is not rooted in any of these 'reasonable grounds' but in a deep disturbance at thought of eating meat, something which is not easy to cope with or explain:
"Something is lodged in my solar plexus. I don't know what it might be. It's lodged there permanently these days. Even though I stopped wearing a bra, I can feel this lump all the time. No matter how deeply I inhale, it doesn't go away. Yells and howls, threaded together layer upon layer, are enmeshed to form that lump. Because of meat. I ate too much meat. The lives of all the animals I ate are lodged there. Blood and flesh, all those butchered bodies are scattered in every nook and cranny, and though the physical remnants were excreted, their lives stick stubbornly to my insides."
Yeong-hye's behaviour exposes the fractures in her family: the tensions, hidden desires, and loyalties which on one occasion spills over into physical violence. She can't be what her husband wants her to be. Subject to her brother-in-law's sexual fetishes, she cannot answer all of his needs either. Nor can she start eating to please her sister who sees her wasting away. Her deterioration – mental and physical – is painful but her determination is relentless.
"Her voice had no weight to it, like feathers. It was neither gloomy nor absent minded, as might be expected of someone who was ill. But it wasn't bright or light-hearted either. It was the quiet tone of a person who didn't belong anywhere, someone who had passed into a border area between states of being."
The Vegetarian is a short novel, 183 pages in my edition, but it punches far above its weight. Kang's voice is strong and unique, her writing all the more dramatic for its concise understatement, and she refuses to offer any easy answers. Disturbing and brilliant.

Secondly, a classic of Spanish literature, Nada by Carmen Laforet (1945 tr. Edith Grossman 2007). Andrea, a young student, leaves her rural home to attend university and moves in her with grandmother, aunt, two uncles, her uncle's wife, a green-toothed maid and a dog. Although filled with youthful hope for opportunities and change, the atmosphere is unsettling from the start:
"We rode down Calle Aribau, where my relatives lived, its plane trees full of dense green that October, and its silence vivid with the respiration of a thousand souls behind darkened balconies."
Once inside the house, things worsen. The house is cluttered, dirty, filled with layers of past glories.
"That bathroom seemed like a witches house, the stained walls had traces of hook-shaped hands, of screams of despair. Everywhere the scaling walls opened their toothless mouths oozing dampness. Over the mirror, because it didn't fit anywhere else, they'd hung a macabre still-life of pale bream and onions against a black background. Madness smiled from the bent taps."
The Spanish Civil War – over six years previously – is mentioned in passing but never dwelt upon, though there is the sense that this is a family and a city, possibly a nation, dealing with the aftershocks of trauma. The family are entirely dysfunctional, locked in abusive, sado-masochistic, manipulative relationships to a greater or lesser extent. Andrea's uncle Juan savagely beats his wife Gloria; her aunt Angustias tries to control Andrea through a mix of overbearing affection and oppressive boundary-setting; her uncle Roman plays cat-and-mouse with just about everyone he encounters. Andrea's friend Ena offers a possibility of escape:
"Ena never resembled on weekdays the rash girl, almost childish in her high spirits, that she turned into on Sundays. As for me – and I came from the countryside – she made me see a new meaning in nature that I'd never thought of before. She made me understand the pulsing of damp mud heavy with vital juices, the mysterious emotion of buds that were still closed, the melancholy charm of algae listless on the sand, the potency, the ardour, the splendid appeal of the sea."
Nada is a gothic tale without a doubt, but never quite spills over into the camp that gothic often skirts along. The novel had to pass through Franco's censors, and while its not overtly a political tale, I think the Gothicism helps disguise the fact that it is a tale of a society in shock; of resistance to oppression; of survival and escape.
"The memory of nights on Calle de Aribau comes to me now. Those nights that ran like a black river beneath the bridges of the days, nights when stagnant odours gave off the breath of ghosts."
To end, an example of gothic that doesn't skirt around camp but rather dives straight in – quite the maddest film I've ever seen:
"I don't like to be out of my comfort zone, which is about a half an inch wide." (Larry David)
Last week I wrote about dystopian novels, and Kaggsy commented that when things are bad, comfort reading is the thing, particularly golden age crime. A sage suggestion – it offers the escape of another time, and the reassurance of puzzles being solved, things being put right. So this week's post is all about comfort. The comfort of people being stabbed in the back with knives, and left to freeze to death in the snow.
Firstly, the golden age classic A Man Lay Dead by Ngaio Marsh (1934), the first of her novels featuring Chief Inspector Alleyn. I did enjoy this: a country house murder, a closed circle of suspects, class snobbery, unfounded paranoia about Bolsheviks; it was a perfect example of the genre 😀
Sir Hubert Handesley throws a party at his country house, to include a game of 'Murder' – you can probably guess what happens. During the time allotted to the game, a man who disappointingly, is never referred to as a cad or bounder though he is clearly both those things, is found stabbed in back, bleeding out next to the cocktail tray and the dinner gong (love the incidental details of golden age mysteries!) What's more, the knife is Russian:
"'Rum coincidence that the knife, your butler, and your guest should all be of the same nationality.'"
Enter Inspector Alleyn – dry of wit, Oxford of education, mysterious of background but suspiciously posh, not a man to be carried away by xenophobic paranoia, who sets about investigating the murder through an appealing mix of dogged attention to detail and flashes of flamboyance fuelled by his prodigious intelligence:
"'As a rule,' he observed, 'there is much less to be gleaned from the clothes of a man with a valet than from those of the poorer classes. "Highly recommended by successful homicide" would be a telling reference for any man-servant.'"
Ngaio Marsh's authorial voice is similarly witty, making this novel a funny, entertaining puzzle.
"Mr Benningden was one of those small, desiccated gentleman so like the accepted traditional figure of a lawyer that they lose their individuality in their perfect conformation to type."
A Man Lay Dead is perfectly paced (only 176 pages in my edition) and of course Alleyn gets his murderer, with a few red herrings along the way. I bought this as part of the perennially tempting collected sets from Book People, and I'm looking forward to working my way through the rest…

Secondly, a novel I'm including as part of Women in Translation month – head over to Meytal's blog to read all about WITmonth. Under the Snow by Kerstin Ekman (1961, trans. Joan Tate 1996) is not a golden age novel, but it offers much of the same appeal, being a straightforward, non-gory whodunit. Reading in the midst of a UK summer (such as it is) it also offered me an escape into a wintry Lapland landscape, far away from real life and the daily news which currently evokes this reaction in me:
One winter's night in a remote northern village in Lapland, a mah jong party gets out of hand (as they so frequently do, those crazy mah jong players) and the art teacher of the local school, Matti, is found frozen to death in the snow. Police officer Torsson is called into this small community:
"just like Torsson, the chief of police of this mining town had originally come from the south. Having carried out his duties for thirty-five years among a taciturn breed in a country where the winter is five thousand and sixty-four hours long, he had lost some of the animation in his speech and the cheerfulness he associated with brightly lit shopping streets and apple blossom. He did not like to be disturbed."
Torsson feels something is not right with Matti's death, but can't prove it. The story then jumps forward to the summer, when Matti's friend David arrives in the area:
"Occasionally the road seemed to be leading up to heaven, the car climbing in growling second-gear up kilometre-long hills towards the empty sky…this July day was clear, the sky blue. The mountains seemed to him to be the most immobile and largest objects he had ever seen. Top marks to you, old chap, he thought, for David Malm travels round the world, painting, and he's seen a thing or two"
David and Torsson form an unlikely partnership as they start exploring the events of the winter night in the midst of the relentless daylight of summer within the Arctic Circle. The overweight, steady, unemotional Torsson has been underestimated by the villagers but alongside the more flamboyant David progress is made. The mystery itself is straightforward (the novel is only just over 200 pages) but the atmosphere evoked by the extremes of light in the different seasons is fully utilised by Ekman to create an eerie, unsettling atmosphere.
"there is infinite patience up here. This is due to time, which thanks to the sun's strange behaviour exists here in different proportions. A year is one long cycle of cold night and blistering light day. The celestial clock turns rather majestically when you live right underneath the pendulum."
To end, a cornucopia of comfort 🙂

After only a few days, the Internet is still buzzing with news surrounding CVE-2014-0160, better known as the Heartbleed vulnerability. CSO has compiled the following information in order to help administrators and security teams understand the issue, determine their risks, and if needed, fix the problem.
The Heartbleed bug was fully disclosed to the Internet on April 7, 2014, but the root cause of the problem was introduced to the OpenSSL platform two years-ago.
The name for this bug is a play on words. The media and some vendors have inaccurately reported the issue as Malware, which is a description far removed from the truth. Likewise, other inaccurate reports have said that the issue is a problem within the SSL / TLS protocols. Both explanations are false.
The Heartbleed bug exists because of a flaw in the OpenSSL implementation of the TLS/DTLS heartbeat functionality. So this is a problem with server software, not a problem with certificates. The vulnerability itself can be classified as a critical information disclosure issue.
In their advisory, the US-CERT outlines the issue perfectly.
OpenSSL versions 1.0.1 through 1.0.1f contain a flaw in its implementation of the TLS/DTLS heartbeat functionality (RFC6520). This flaw allows an attacker to retrieve private memory of an application that uses the vulnerable OpenSSL libssl library in chunks of up to 64k at a time. Note that an attacker can repeatedly leverage the vulnerability to increase the chances that a leaked chunk contains the intended secrets.
SSL private keys, enabling the decryption of traffic if it's intercepted; however experts have said that an attacker successfully compromising private keys is unlikely.
Usernames and passwords that are submitted to applications and services running on the server. This is the most likely attack vector, but there have been no security incidents linked to it, at least not yet.
Session tokens are also exposed by this flaw, as are cookie values.
Once the vulnerability became public knowledge, many researchers and vendors have worked to examine the total attack surface.
As such, there have been reports that this vulnerability can be used to amplify traffic and trigger a DDoS, and expose application configuration files, including the connection strings were database usernames and passwords are clearly visible.
Most notable software using OpenSSL are the open source web servers like Apache and nginx. The combined market share of just those two out of the active sites on the Internet was over 66% according to Netcraft's April 2014 Web Server Survey.
Furthermore OpenSSL is used to protect for example email servers (SMTP, POP and IMAP protocols), chat servers (XMPP protocol), virtual private networks (SSL VPNs), network appliances and wide variety of client side software. Fortunately many large consumer sites are saved by their conservative choice of SSL/TLS termination equipment and software.
Ironically smaller and more progressive services or those who have upgraded to latest and best encryption will be affected most. Furthermore OpenSSL is very popular in client software and somewhat popular in networked appliances which have most inertia in getting updates.
The version of OpenSSL can be obtained by using the openssl version -a command. Versions of OpenSSL 1.0.1x that were built before April 7, 2014 are vulnerable.
The vulnerable versions have been out there for over two years now and they have been rapidly adopted by modern operating systems. A major contributing factor has been that TLS versions 1.1 and 1.2 came available with the first vulnerable OpenSSL version (1.0.1) and security community has been pushing the TLS 1.2 due to earlier attacks against TLS (such as the BEAST).
In order to determine vulnerability, several services have been deployed that enable organizations to check the status of their servers. The following two services are the most recommended.
Fixing the problem created by Heartbleed is a multi-step process.
For Ubuntu and Debian systems, OpenSSL should be updated by issuing the apt-get update and apt-get install -y libssl1.0.0 openssl commands.
After that, issue lsof -n | grep ssl | grep DEL and restart all listed services.
Debian installs can use apt-get update followed by apt-get upgrade.
For CentOS use yum clean all && yum update "openssl*".
Issue lsof -n | grep ssl | grep DEL and restart all listed services.
Fedora 18 is no longer supported. The following applies to Fedora 19 and 20.
Substitute i686 for 32-bit systems, or armv7hl for ARM systems (Fedora 20 only).
If updating OpenSSL isn't an option for some reason, it's possible to work around the vulnerability by reverting to a non-vulnerable version of OpenSSL, or recompile OpenSSL with the -DOPENSSL_NO_HEARTBEATS flag.
Once the server has been patched, all of the private keys used by it need to be regenerated. After this is done, SSL certificates need to be revoked and new ones issued using the newly regenerated keys. Be sure to restart the server in order to assure that any live sessions are terminated.
A set of SNORT rules have been released related to this vulnerability. Rapid7 has released guidance on detecting vulnerability via Nexpose, and Metasploit has released a module for Heartbleed.

Chicago is rich in history, gastronomy, culture and sports, as well as a lively nightlife. A visit to this city must start with a Chicago Cocktail (1), which has been the envy of New Yorkers since the Prohibition. In the middle of famous Wicker Park (3), a secret entrance hides behind a mural on Damen Avenue that leads to Violet Hour (2), where they serve the best in town. The perfect introduction to the wild Windy City.
40 museums, impressive architecture and over seven thousand prized restaurants makes Chicago a must.
However, Chicago is as fascinating in broad daylight as it is at night. Enjoy and feed off of its history and energy. Visit The Loop (4), the city's busiest and best located neighborhood and stop by the Superdawg drive-in (5) and try the best Chicago style hot-dogs.
In the evening, the best place to mingle with locals and tourists is the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, where Chicagoans gather to talk , drink and enjoy the music at the Millenium Park Summer Music Series. Lastly, end your day with a tour along the river (6) and appreciate the city's vibrant architecture and lifestyle while it prepares for another night of jazz, cocktails and fun.
