Facebook's Internet.org Does Not Provide the Security Users Deserve
Facebook's Zuckerberg
In 2013, a Facebook-led initiative launched Internet.org, a free, barebones version of the internet for those in Africa, Asia, and Latin America who would otherwise go without. At the time, Facebook CEO and Founder Mark Zuckerberg explained the project as such: "There are huge barriers in developing countries to connecting and joining the knowledge economy. Internet.org brings together a global partnership that will work to overcome these challenges, including making internet access available to those who cannot currently afford it." Internet.org invites users in places such as Colombia, Ghana and Indonesia to check job postings, access health information, and connect via Facebook, but has offered little else. Conceptually, Internet.org makes a lot of sense; in practice, concerns have been raised about whether its limited content constitutes access to the "knowledge economy" or just the Facebook economy.
In response, users are about to see a more robust Internet.org. On Monday, Facebook announced the arrival of the Internet.org Platform, an open program for developers to integrate their services with Internet.org. The announcement included an impassioned, egalitarian plea from Zuckerberg himself: "Everyone is welcome to join. It's not exclusive to any mobile operator or company. Now, we had to start somewhere so we launched first with partners who wanted to work with us on this mission to connect the world, but we'll work with anyone who wants to join us. No company pays to be included in Internet.org. No operator is paid to offer these services."
Zuckerberg is working hard to rebrand Internet.org as a place for everyone because he knows it is anything but. Internet.org has a long list of requirements for compatibility: content, for example, cannot utilize JavaScript, video or large images (yes, this goes for Facebook too). Furthermore, the fine print on Internet.org's submission page clearly states, "Submission and/or approval by Facebook does not guarantee that your site(s) will be made available through Internet.org." Internet.org may be about to expand its offerings, but Facebook remains very much in control of what those offerings will be.
Of greater consequence, Internet.org is completely unencrypted, save for its Android App. Services submitted with SSL/TLS/HTTPS will be relegated to the aforementioned app; Internet.org as it exists via any other platform has no regard for user privacy.
Users should not underestimate the significance of this fact. Zuckerberg has positioned Internet.org as the only available web connection for two-thirds of the world's population and he takes no responsibility in providing a secure, private connection along with it. The developed world, on the verge of accepting encryption as the smart and safe approach to the internet, has given its neighbors a no win situation—either use Internet.org and let Facebook track your every move while you hand your financial information to hackers, or don't touch the internet at all. Even the service's technical guidelines admit that this is a problem deserving of a solution; if Zuckerberg were guided by the humanitarian aims he claims, he would not ask the majority of the world's population to forego their rights to privacy.

We Caught Up With Prancer, The Viral Nightmare Chihuahua. We Found A Story Of Redemption.
"There's some times where I look at him like, You're the most beautiful dog I've ever seen. And then there's some times I'm like, What hole did you crawl out of?"
by Amber Jamieson
Posted on July 11, 2021, 3:29 pm
Sara Naomi Lewkowicz for BuzzFeed News
NEW HAVEN, Connecticut — Fame has not changed Prancer the Chihuahua, a 13-pound furball of stress.
The 2½-year-old went viral in April after his foster mom wrote a Facebook post begging for someone to adopt him despite knowing there was not a market "for neurotic, man-hating, animal-hating, children-hating dogs that look like gremlins."
Months later, Prancer remains a neurotic, man-hating, animal-hating, children-hating dog that looks like a gremlin. The difference is that now he has found his forever person who loves him anyway.
"There's some times where I look at him like, You're the most beautiful dog I've ever seen," Prancer's new owner, Ariel Davis, told BuzzFeed News. "And then there's some times I'm like, What hole did you crawl out of? You are the biggest baloney."
BuzzFeed News went to visit Davis in New Haven, Connecticut, to meet the dog described as "a haunted Victorian child in the body of a small dog" and to see how the pair were settling into life together. After a huge increase in pandemic dog adoptions, some shelters are now seeing an increase in dogs being returned as people head back to offices or suffer financial difficulties. Additionally, many new pets are struggling to cope with being left alone for the first time after spending quarantine with their humans 24/7. So how is a dog that already had major behavioral issues handling his new home?
Prancer and Davis in New Haven
"Just ignore him," said Davis when BuzzFeed News first approached. With a rainbow bandana tied around his neck, Prancer was busy sniffing the street and peeing on trees. As we walked around the block together, a fluffy black dog filled the sidewalk and Prancer lost his cool, barking and freaking out. Distraction was key, and Davis gave him treats and squeezed a squeaky toy so Prancer would look at her, not the other dog. "You see a little bit of demon dog," said Davis.
Then two men started walking toward us, but Davis was ready. She pulled Prancer off the path, positioned herself in front of the dog, and squatted down next to him, patting him and giving him treats. Prancer never even noticed the men were there.
"Part of my job with him is teaching him to just exist around other people without having to freak out," said Davis.
As Davis points out, Prancer's behavior makes sense, really. His first owner — a single, older woman who'd spoiled him with bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches and cashmere sweaters — moved into an assisted living home and he was sent to a rescue.
A foster home took him in, where Prancer was put on a strict diet (to remove those quarantine pounds), had to live with a man (despite hating men), and was competing for affection with seven dogs and 12 cats (instead of living life as a beloved only child).
"He went from being an only child to being in a place where he was uncomfortable," said Davis.
And so Prancer acted out.
Davis compares Prancer to the pandemic babies and small children who became used to spending all their time cooped up at home with only their parents. "And now they have to go out into a world where they're not used to people, much like Prancer," she said. "It's really just about finding somebody that helps you be comfortable, and finding ways for you to be comfortable in that environment."
Enter Davis, a single lesbian in recovery from a marijuana addiction who was desperate for a companion. The 36-year-old takes her role as Prancer's owner as seriously as she does her job as a cook working in the kitchen at the rehabilitation center for women that she attended herself.
On the day of their first meeting, she brought Prancer a plate of the breakfast she'd cooked for the women in the facility: bacon, eggs, sausage, French toast. Prancer ate all of it.
While Prancer needed a second chance, he, too, is a second chance for Davis, an opportunity for redemption. When she filled out her adoption application, Davis spoke of a bond she sensed with another creature that had also gone through tough times. "I was brought to tears due to the intense connection I felt when reading about Prancer's story," she wrote.
Three years ago, she had to rehome her two dogs, Doodle and Blue, when she entered rehab (the dogs are now safe and happy, Davis said). Doodle was also poorly behaved, but that was Davis's fault. "Most of his problems were learned behavior from my life," she said. She didn't have the patience for them. Once, when Blue was barking and she couldn't figure out why, a friend suggested that maybe he just wanted a pat. It had never occurred to her.
But adopting a famous dog brought a huge level of attention she'd never expected, particularly because Davis usually has a quiet life: She works, she comes home to Prancer, she spends hours every day writing fantasy and playing World of Warcraft.
The original publicity around Prancer's adoption brought a huge amount of stress. Social media became impossible; she'd log in to Facebook and see hateful comments. "There was a point where I could not log in because there'd be a story about me and Prancer and there'd be 12,000 comments: Why have you given this dog to a drug addict? What happens if she relapses? What's going to happen to the dog? This girl has already given away two other dogs. What's gonna stop her from giving away this dog? Oh, a lesbian, she probably is three months late on rent and drives around in a pickup truck," said Davis. "And I'm like, actually, her rent is current and I have a new Honda Civic — it's great."
All the press forced Davis to focus more intently on her recovery. She got closer with her sponsor, attended more AA meetings, and connected more with the other women in rehab. Now she has a book agent for a possible children's book about Prancer, and film producers have talked to her about adapting his story, both ideas that she is hopeful will come to fruition. She also hopes to publish her own writing one day.
Prancer at home.
For all Prancer's complaining when someone makes a sudden movement near him, he is a natural performer for the camera. Pout, smirk, smile, side-eye, ears up, paws down — he moves through poses like a canine Kendall Jenner.
But managing a dogfluencer is Davis's personal idea of hell, even if she laughed when Petco sent a Nightmare Before Christmas collar, a stuffed monster toy, and bacon, egg, and cheese–flavored snacks. She did a recent Instagram advertisement for a vacuum cleaner, a product she truly liked, but the anxiety over getting the post right meant a "very dark" week of really difficult mental health. She swears she won't do advertising again, even though her inbox is full of requests.
"The fame had a darker end of it, but the light at the end of the tunnel? It was Prancer," said Davis. "What pulled me out was him."
Prancer adores Davis, regularly trotting over to her for kisses and pats. Anytime he's acting out, it's because he's trying to protect her. With her past dogs, Davis didn't know to stay calm. "I was barking at him and he was barking at me, and we were all just barking at each other," said Davis.
But with Prancer, "when he barks, I'm like" — at this point Davis started cooing in a baby voice — "'What's wrong, Prancer? What are you doing?' And then he's like, Why am I barking? and starts wagging his tail."
While Davis helps Prancer be braver with every treat, he forces her to take care of herself. After a difficult year — for a dog, for a woman in recovery, for an entire country — the pair found each other and discovered peace.
"I took care of myself. I took care of my situation," she said. "Now I'm able to take care of a dog, and good things are coming to me." ●

What Is an Adjustable-Rate Mortgage (ARM)?
Learn about adjustable-rate mortgages, also known as ARMs, in this Howcast finance video with expert Gregory McGraime.
An adjustable rate mortgage is a mortgage where your interest rate and your payment can change at some point in the future. And you may start out with one type of payment, and as interest rates fluctuate, at some point in the future, that interest rate and your payment may reset. And they can reset higher if interest rates went up, or lower if interest rates go down.
So let me use a specific example to put some context around this. There are tons of different types of adjustable rate mortgages, but let's look at a five year adjustable rate mortgage. And let's say my interest rate is five percent, and my payment is $2,000 a month. What happens at the end of five years? At the end of five years, my interest rate could go up, it could go down, depending on where rates are then.
And so I could see my payment potentially go up. Instead of being $2,000 maybe it jumps up to $2,500 a month, as an example. And so I run the risk of being in a situation where I was at a payment that was affordable, and through no control of my own, I've now moved to an interest rate and a payment that are much higher. And the $2,500 a month may not be affordable. So that's really how an adjustable rate mortgage works.
And if you get an adjustable rate mortgage, we want to be very clear you understand the terms. How high could that interest rate and payment go? When do they reset?
Now, it's not all bad. I mean an adjustable rate mortgage is appropriate for some people. If I was buying a home, for example, and I was only going to live there for three to five years, and then I was moving on, an adjustable rate mortgage might be the way to go. Because adjustable rate mortgages for that risk in the future, usually are giving you a lower interest rate and a lower payment now.
So for example, in that example, I buy a home. I'm staying in there three to five years. And I have a five year adjustable mortgage. At five years, that rate of payment can go up, but I don't care. I'm not going to be in the home anymore, so I'm not subjected to that risk.
Now, you may see an adjustable rate mortgage abbreviated as A, R, M. Or ARM. That's another term that the mortgage industry uses to describe an adjustable rate mortgage.
So the take home message here? If you're going to go with an adjustable rate mortgage, really be very careful you know all the terms, and make sure it's appropriate for your situation.

Growing old is inevitable, our faces change due to loss of volume in the bone structure of our skull. Unfortunately, this effect reflects directly in our smile. When someone goes to a Plastic Surgeon for a facelift, they can do a beautiful work on the face but they don't know how to make your smile look younger.
Take a look at your at your smile when you were 15 years old and look at it now that you are 40 or 50 and you will see your teeth more yellow and your lips covering more of your teeth; in other words, when you are in a normal conversation you are not showing as much your upper incisors edges. We also see what we call black triangles, which are dark spaces between the cheeks and your molars. Now imagine once you reach your 60's or 70's, you will be only showing your lower teeth when you talk or smile. Fortunately, all these conditions can be prevented and delayed as much as possible doing Anti-aging Dentistry.
At Gables Perfect Smile, we offer a wide variety of treatments that help you reverse, prevent and delay the "falling" of your smile. We can do treatment options like Invisalign to expand the maxillary arches and increase the volume of your face and smile; We can also do a smile makeover where we work with different volumes in the restorations, always adapted to your facial needs. Botox and Dermal fillers are also treatments that can help you correct and prevent the signs of aging, and finally, teeth whitening to make your smile look brighter.

The "Sandworm" malware – what you need to know
15 Oct 2014 8 Malware, Microsoft, Vulnerability
Previous: Attacker takes over Facebook page set up for 'Bucket List Baby' Shane, posts porn
Next: South Korean ID system faces overhauls following 10 years of data thefts
by Paul Ducklin
Thanks to Gabor Szappanos of SophosLabs for his work on this article.
You may have heard or seen mention of the latest catchily-named malware attack: "Sandworm."
The name is rather dramatically borrowed from the famous 1960s science fiction epic Dune, where it refers to a sort of worm-like creature, hundreds or even thousands of metres long and as good as indestructible except with nuclear weapons.
In the current context, the name applies to a strain of malware, announced with fanfare by a security company that claims to have seen it used recently in the wild in targeted attacks.
These attacks are said to have been "used in [a] Russian cyber-espionage campaign targeting NATO, European Union, Telecommunications and Energy sectors."
The attack relies on a vulnerability in Windows known as CVE-2014-4114, patched in Bulletin MS14-060 of Microsoft's October 2014 Patch Tuesday.
That makes the attack used by Sandworm a so-called zero-day exploit, because the vulnerability was first exploited before a patch was available.
→ The terminology "zero day" refers to the fact that there were zero days that you could have been patched in advance.
Combine a zero-day exploit and claims of Russian espionage with a catchy name and an all-devouring logo and you have a magnetic-sounding story.
Fortunately, the Sandworm malware is a lot easier to deal with than its interplanetary annelid namesake.
In fact, in malware terms, it's not a worm at all.
Here's what you need to know.
How Sandworm arrives
The malware travels in a Powerpoint file that refers to an .INF file, where INF is the Windows extension given to a special sort of information file used during software setup.
INF files were once a fruitful vehicle for malware authors, thanks to a special file named AUTORUN.INF that could be used on removable drives such as USB memory sticks to specify a program that would run automatically when the drive was plugged in.
AUTORUN.INF files are no longer allowed to run programs automatically, however, so that risk has as good as vanished.
But INF files can still be used for installation-oriented tasks such as putting files into place (and optionally renaming them), and setting entries in the registry.
That's enough to install malware that will run later on, even if it's not sufficient to infect your computer right away.
How Sandworm works
In the Sandworm attack, the malicious Powerpoint file that kicks things off actually refers to an INF file with a remote filename, using a UNC path.
→ UNC paths are those special Windows filenames that include a server name, not just a drive letter and a directory name, such as \\SERVER\SHARE\FILE.TXT for servers on your own network, or \\198.51.100.5\REMOTE.DAT for a file located by IP number.
Windows is supposed to block applications like Powerpoint from sucking in and launching external files in this way, for obvious security reasons, but the Sandworm attackers found, or at least acquired, a vulnerability that made it possible anyway.
In the attack, the malicious Powerpoint file pulls in two files from a remote server that combine to deliver the malware payload.
The files have the innocent-looking names slides.inf and slide1.gif, as though they were part of the presentation itself.
But slide1.gif is actually an executable (program) file, and slides.inf is an installer file that renames slide1.gif to slide1.gif.exe before adding a registry entry that will run the offending program when you next logon.
In other words, even without the ability to run a program directly, the Powerpoint-INF-and-GIF cocktail is enough to install a program that will run later on.
Even though the malware itself is not embedded inside the malicious Powerpoint file, it is fetched in what is often called a drive-by install – one that happens without any pop-up dialog or warning that would let you stop it by choice.
Unlike the sandworms of the desert planet Arrakis in the Dune saga, you don't need high explosives, or disk-wiping tools, to counteract this threat.
Applying Microsoft's MS14-060 patch will close the hole on which this vulnerability relies.
Additionally, security products can:
Identify booby trapped files that exploit the vulnerability, thus preventing them from opening in the first place.
Block the "call home" traffic used in known attacks in order to prevent payload code or data from being retrieved, even on unpatched computers.
Sophos products detect and block "Sandwormed" Powerpoint files as Troj/20144114-A. The slide1.gif malware file referred to above is blocked as Mal/Generic-S. The servers used in the "call home" of the attack are also blocked to prevent the download of any other malware that might be published there.
8 comments on "The "Sandworm" malware – what you need to know"
Mike Smith says:
If executable files were blocked at the edge, by say a Sophos UTM, would they be blocked based on content of the file rather than the file extension? And then this would have been mitigated before it has the opportunity to install.
Paul Ducklin says:
We recognise EXE files by their internal structure (believe it or not, they still start with the bytes "MZ", for Mark Zbikowski, the Microsoft coder who invented the original EXE file format for DOS back in the 1980s :-). Same thing for PPT, PPTX, PDF, PNG…the list goes on.
We can't rely on the name – it might be deliberately tweaked by a crook, like here, or it might be a machine-generated temporary name, e.g. for an encoded attachment, that gets replaced after the file is downloaded.
Jonathan Miller says:
"Magic bytes" can also be obfuscated by the malware; having Z9 rewritten to MZ on the way down to disk. This would be evident in the RE on the malware itself at some point. Could be a sneaky way to obfuscate file-level monitoring content decisions on proxies or DLP/IDP at edges that observe file contents.
True. But then you need fairly general purpose malware or shellcode already running to do the deobfuscation at the end. (If you can do that, you can scramble the thing unrecognisably. Or, as some malware does, encrypt it with a private key. That way, no-one else can feed malware to the downloader…Hybris from about AD2000 was the first malware I remember doing that.)
Always enjoy these articles by you Paul. You make it insanely easy to understand what's going on. Essentially… Who, What, When and Where.
Ken Haynes says:
Very informative.
Thanks Paul.
May I know which IDE file contains this detection? I should ensure of it… Thanks a lot!
I don't know off the top of my head…I can probably find out, but I am always reluctant to say "make sure you have this one IDE more than any of the others" because if *any* are missing, it means that your updating is broken, and that's much worse than not being able to detect this one piece of not-very-often-seen malware.
Have you successfully updated since the article was published? If so, you will have the relevant IDE because (rather obviously 🙂 it predates the article.

Sometimes you have to invest some money to have the car in perfect condition. If you want your body to offer a beautiful colour, this wax will give you very good results. This is the the best wax for black cars! We assure you that the car is much brighter since I use it. What's more, I had a small scrape of a key and it has been removed with this wax. Of course, I used a sponge that has helped me get a good result. It has traces of wax based on nanotechnology, which allows the colour to have a nice colour and look newer than it is. With this product that is the the best wax for black cars, I not only get to clean, but I also get the shine I want for my car in a simple and effortless way. If we add that the manufacturer announces that thanks to its composition, prevents corrosion quickly reaches the paint of the vehicle, I can say that it is a great option. What's more, with little product I can get very good results. In my case, the car is black and for the moment I have washed several times with this wax and I'm really enjoying the results.
Another wax that I have tried in my vehicle before and has given me very good results is the wax. I know it is a little-known brand, but after trying it, I could see that the results after a good cleaning were very good. One of the things that I like most about this wax, besides that it leaves a very nice shine to the car, is that it has the technology of hydrophobic polymers. This means that after using the product, it will repel the water, causing that when it rains little, the car does not remain with the typical water spots that give an ugly appearance to the vehicle. In this way, it is achieved that the period of time between washes may be longer. This is because the water slides quickly, causing the water drop does not dry on the paint. It is a very interesting technology that I recommend you try and buy the best wax for black cars.
Of course, the maximum level of protection is not achieved instantly, but the product has to dry. For this reason, you can get the best results passed at least 12 hours after use.
This brand was recommended to me by a friend, because I really did not know it, and as in the previous options, the results were very positive. With this wax I noticed that the finish was also very good, so the body of my car shone much more after doing a good wash. What's more, the gloss it offers is quite durable; hence it is a wax that I have included in this listing. This producer would be perfect if he had the option of other products to repel water, as it would be perfect. But of course, for the price it has, we cannot ask for much more.
The application of the product is very simple, and its price is not at all high. For this reason, if you want a high-quality product, without having to spend a lot of money, this pot of half a litre will be very well priced. In addition, your car will thank you, because you will be giving them adequate protection. Of course, remember that with half a litre you will have many washes, which means that the final price for each wash will be very low.
If you have trouble washing the car and do not want to use several products to get a good result, in this case, I recommend a perfect combination of shampoo and wax, so you can get good results with just one wash. The shampoo of this product is of good quality, so with a proper sponge and a little patience, you will get your car to shine easily. Also, since this product already includes the wax, then you will get the shine you are looking for without having to apply it later. Yes, it is not as resistant as other options that I have included in this option, but it can be a good option if you are looking to have everything in one product. The washing is really very simple. For this reason, many people are betting on this shampoo since quality is a great option.
I say that the price is very cheap, because the product includes 5 litres of the concentrated mixture, so you will have to make a lot of washes. In addition, as it has a stopper, you can store it with total security, since the liquid will not fall.
Previously I've talked about this brand and again I'll talk about it, but this time to refer to the Ultimate car wax. This wax offers the best of the Gold Class and NXT wax range, which means that we are talking about a wax of very good quality. I like it because it allows you to apply the wax even if the sun is giving directions. With other waxes, if I give the wax in full sun, what I get is to leave a stain and therefore cannot enjoy a good result. This does not happen with this.
It also has the technology that helps repel water. Thus the drop of water leaves no trace on the body and also provides a shine that very few waxes offer. In addition, the application of the wax is very simple, thanks to its spray mode. In addition, it has properties that allow seeing how the wax increasingly protects the paint, while reinforcing the brightness of the paint after each wash. If you have still tried this option, I recommend it, because it will give you very good results. Have a look at this the best wax for black cars!
To finish I want to tell you about a variety of wax that gives very good results, despite having a very economical price. With this wax, you can not only remove dirt easily, but you can also enjoy a great shine and especially with a high degree of protection. This will ensure that the wax has a long life after each wash and use. In addition to offering a great shine and eliminate the feeling of dirt, it also increases the colour of the vehicle, which makes it more beautiful and above all, it seems that it is newer.
On the other hand, not only can be used in wet, but dry can be used without problems. Moreover, some people use it in crystals and also enjoy very good results. Finally, I want to emphasize that the packaging has a little less than 500 ml, but thanks to its cheap price, this means that the price of each wash is really very cheap. Really if you are looking for an economical alternative, this option will surely interest you; hence I recommend it to you and buy this the best wax for black cars.

Free Friday: Red Evolution, The Title Tilt and an Overworked Soapbox!
January 31, 2019 Daniel Rhodes
By Daniel Rhodes
January 31, 2019 In Free, Free Friday
Posts selected by Chris Rowland and Daniel Rhodes.
The idea of this weekly round-up is to give you all some idea of the range of debate on the site and the articles we publish. If you'd like to be part of our troll-free community, there's a 'Subscribe' tab at the very bottom of the page.
1 – Ding pondering the media love-in with Spurs:
Justin, I agree with you that Spurs are right about where they should be, and perhaps they're overperforming a bit when you consider their financial resources (they should probably be 6th and shouldn't really be having a whiff of the knockout stages of the UCL).
But, for me, the hilarious part is the absolutely schizophrenic coverage by pundits and the press of Spurs' season. Every time they have a good result, it's like: "SPURS THUMP SIX GOALS PAST EVERTON!!! BONA FIDE TITLE CONTENDERS!!!!!! LFC AND CITY ARE WETTING THEIR BEDS NOW!!!!!" (I'm not even exaggerating the all-caps and exclamation points.) There is little objective examination of their performances, like xG and the luck over finishing.
When they are brought down to earth, it's like: "Spurs lose to oil money Chelsea in the midst of an injury crisis without Saint Harry, Sir Dele, and oh did you see how bad the weather was in London that night?" That's when the media bend over backwards to make excuses for them and their darling Poch.
Even when the latter more or less said last season that diving was acceptable and that he tacitly encouraged it, media folks were on hand to laud his honesty and excuse diving away as just a facet of the modern game. Where is that attitude now in the midst of the furore over Salah? If Klopp had said something similar the press would be calling on MPs to pass legislation exiling him to St Helena.
I'm exaggerating but that's my sense of the media love-in with Spurs and Poch. 🙂
2 – Seamus getting annoyed by this comment from a Leicester fan ahead of Wednesday's game:
"Salah has got outrageously divey this season. Not that the pundits will notice/care.
Do they not see the hours of "debate" about Salah's diving in the media? It's all they can talk about. Not the fact that Chelsea are under investigation for improper approach to over 100 minor, internationals. Not the fact that City were mentioned heavily in the most recent leaks and could potentially be involved in one of the most corrupt operations that Fifa has ever seen (which is hard to do given their history). Not VAR and the FA's ability to use it effectively. They debate on whether Salah is a cheater or not because he goes down 'softly' when there's contact. Soft as some of them may have been, and frankly as questionable as the Newcastle one was, there was significant contact in each instance. We have been on the other end so many times and told by everyone else to just suck it up because we gave the referee a decision to make, but when it's finally our turn we get labeled as cheaters? Bring it on!
I know that I'm preaching to the choir here, but Salah was one of the more upright (pun fully intended) players in the league last season. He would get mauled match after match and earned 1 pen (away from home) all season. The guy who broke a scoring record in the PL, and you're telling me he won 1 pen all season? He had close to, if not the record, for most touches inside the opposition 18 and he didn't win multiple pens? Outrageous. To make matters even worse, the entire squad hadn't won a league pen at Anfield in 18 months (?!). The squad that scored 80+ goals last season in the league, broke a CL scoring record, and doesn't just throw big, microphone look-a-like brutes up front and hope they can connect on crosses. We have pacy, tricky forward players and we didn't win a single pen at home? Even more outrageous!
And this season, it gets even worse from a man handling perspective on Salah. I can't even count the number of times he has a CB with BOTH hands all over his shoulders. This problem has been further exacerbated by the fact that he's playing more frequently in the #9 position and gets the likes of Maguire, Evans, Kompany, Tarkowski, Ben Mee, Cook, Francis, etc actively trying to 'leave a mark.' And if the FA won't protect our players by awarding red cards and penos to deter that kind of treatment for our (and the league's other) best players, I have no problem with Salah and the rest of our team putting a punctuation mark on some of these fouls they're receiving. I am by no means advocating diving, but I am advocating Mo's behaviour until it is commonplace for him to get what he deserves, as with the rest of the squad.
And if someone, ANYONE, on TTT with video editing skills took the time to gather a video highlighting all of Alan Shearer's dives and sent it to him, you'd be my new favourite person. He's probably the worst possible pundit on the planet on issues like this, particularly as they pertain to us. Him calling Salah "disgraceful" is so fucking laughable. Where was Shearer to praise Salah when he stayed up for the second against Bournemouth? Where was he, and all the others, when Salah scored the Puskas winning goal where he could have gone down thrice? Where were all the pundits when he scored that sensational goal against Watford, hacked in the box and all.
Anyways, soapbox is officially overworked…sorry!
3 – Tattva wipes away a tear, and left us doing the same:
I've been crying. Nothing out of the ordinary for me, it's been a tough 12 months. Not huge tears as if mourning a loved one. A little weep, a small release of emotion.
I've been in hospital for three weeks, isolation for a nasty infection which transplant patients are susceptible to.
I haven't seen my kids in a week. My youngest, 5, wore her Liverpool top she got for Christmas when we FaceTimed last night. She knows the celebrations, Mo Salah, Firmino, the Cube and a Jurgen fist pump. She does them in the yard in her flamingo coloured boots.
Yesterday was very tough, but my wonderful sister (a big Liverpool fan too) was sending messages to cheer me up, along with pictures of Jurgen, and Vic and Bob!
I was up for dialysis this morning, coinciding with matches in progress. Seeing City one up didn't register as I wasn't expecting much resistance from Toon. Afterwards, I went back to sleep.
The breakfast lady woke me up. So I thought I'd check my phone. "The Man City result will cheer you up" message from my sister leapt from the screen. I sat upright in an instant and checked the scores.
I read the reports BBC Salford journos wrote through tears of dropped points throughout Mancunia, as TTT posters had tears of joy when declaring the love we still have for Rafa.
My sister and I continued to exchange messages as I read, and she informed me Jurgen would be on the news. No doubt filmed before tonight's games, but he would be calm and measured. Unlike at home, where I expected him to be fist pumping down his hallway at Newcastle's winner. This is when I cried. This is when I thought, "We can do this."
He won't let us down. The players won't let us down. They all want it. Would you want to be in the end of a prolific swearing Jordan Henderson bollocking due to your costly error? He might look like a soft touch, but I think he's a fuckin' lunatic.
Would you want to see Roberto Firmino's megawatt smile go out as your cross balloons out for a throw in as he waits to back heel another no look goal? Didn't think so.
I'm not booking an open top bus yet, there's too long to go. But with each passing round of games we are one game closer.
If Liverpool are 7 points clear with six to play, let's not invite the bottlers tag. There's less room to put things right.
As my health compromises my life, this Liverpool side brings light. It's an outlet for emotion, from this morning's tears to howls in celebration as Arsenal were told to behave.
Come May it'll be eleven months since my heart transplant. This Liverpool side's progress is so intertwined with my own. We've all been waiting for the moment to be crowned champions of England, and for me it'll something extra special.
In 44 years with the same bird (wink to Brian Reade) I've never believed in a side so wholly, an organisational ethic which chimes with mine, an exceptional managerial totem and a squad I trust in so deeply each match day. Many of us will feel the same, and this groundswell is vital to the team.
If this day, when this day comes, I'll have no words. But I will have tears.
4 – Peter Neall on how proud he is of this current side:
What a wonderful writer you are Paul, thank you. You hit the nail firmly on the head and have captured the current zeitgeist here. As we have had no match for a while I have been cogitating on 'where we are', are we yet Champions Elect, wishful thinkers, honest triers or what.
However I frame it I am immensely proud of the club we are and the team we have become. Liverpool FC has always had special qualities. The stories of the personal connection of all our great managers with the people of the town as well as the club. The connection of the players to their people, each serving the other, the one by playing their heart out, the other by singing and believing, just believing. We are special, our history great and painful is a part of who we are, not to look back on but to draw on and remind us we are something very special.
As I walked this weekend by the sea I watched the waves driven by the wind and watched the power of them and realised that like us as a team, the power is never not there! Sometimes it is more visible, sometimes less so, but it is always there and it is this that will carry us to the prize or close to it.
Your mention of the runner in spiked shoes reminded me of Zatopek, a consummate runner, always polite, always encouraging and only ever wanting to beat an opponent at the top of his game. Not for him the easy pace-maker wins set up as a showcase of his talent, he wanted the race to the line with the best man winning and he did all he could for it to be him, if it wasn't then so be it but he knew he had done what he could.
We have a team and a manager in the same mould, they will do what they can and in that I am already so, so proud of them. I want them to have the prize THEY deserve for them and of course also for me and all of us as well because it will bring smiles to our faces that will last a season or more. For me but it will restore my faith in the game as a game, more important than life or death but not important enough to cheat over or for us to sell the soul that is who we are.
We are in a race, we are worthy of that race and we will play to the best of our ability. That I hope is enough, but I won't think less of them if it is not. The Olympic ideal of it being the taking part that is important has largely been superceded but to be really in a contest such as this is very, very special, think Kuts and Zatopek, Borg and Gerulaitis, Ali and Frazier, this is where we are.
We are special.
5 – Javelin on the progress being made:
There are a few assertions that are made on TTT and elsewhere (smart) that have been backed up by research/study. In a nutshell they state that deep runs in cup competitions result in points dropped in concurrent league campaigns.
So it follows that a club should prioritise which competition(s) it puts emphasis on. With a chance of winning the title, other competitions should have reduced priority. Whereas when we *should* be on track for top 4 but have no chance of winning the title (like last season), then prioritise a cup competition instead.
So far, so good. Usually the debate is in the details. Should we ditch domestic cups altogether? Should we de-prioritise the CL this year to give us the best chance of winning the title? Many arguments can be made along these lines, often with no clear victors.
But what's important to me now is that these debates and this overall assumption always seem to have a caveat. That a club can't seriously challenge on multiple fronts unless it has a mega-squad like that of Man City. The implication being that they have such a depth of quality in their squad that fielding a "B" team almost becomes a challenge itself.
Which brings me to the point of this post. Klopp/Edwards/FSG aren't going the Man City route of spending limitless cash to buy up all the best talent to build that mega-squad. But I would argue that they are trying to get to a similar position that Man City enjoy. That of quality in depth in all positions across the squad. They're just doing it by different means.
We have seen this evolution of LFC over the past few years. Initially half a season to take stock. Then every season since then has seen the sale/release of players who aren't cutting it and the bringing in of fresh talent. But not too much churn as that would have negative consequences. Sometimes bringing in/on youth players. Sometimes under rated players who are swiftly deemed to be bargains at the price. And more recently spending significant chunks of change for fully developed world class players.
The point is that every season under Klopp we have gotten stronger. Initially this was more apparent in the first team. A good example is the end of last season when we were experiencing a familiar sensation. That of being able to field a team good enough to beat anybody on their day. But once a couple of injuries inevitably strike the drop off in quality of squad players was simply too great.
But this season I think we've finally turned a corner in that we no longer just have a quality team, but finally have enough depth of quality players in our squad to mount a title tilt. True, current injuries in defence are asking serious questions of this assumption, and we may still fall short. We'll have to see.
But we can also assume that this process of strengthening will only continue in the summer and beyond. And in fact, this summer window might be a very significant one. It seems like all of our core players are young enough and now on long contracts. While some of the older players who have been deemed "good enough" by Klopp to last this long and contribute as squad members will be out of contract. Correct me where I'm wrong, but I think that Sturridge, Lallana, Moreno, Origi and Milner are all out of contract in the summer, so we can expect replacements to be incoming. Though if Milner were given a year's extension I don't think anyone would mind!
My point is that every year the depth of quality players in our squad has increased. And we can expect that to continue.
So here's my question: at what point will LFC be strong enough to make deep cup runs without losing points in the league?
Next season? Or is it even this season, given that we only have the CL to consider?
I don't know, but it's something to think about. Clearly the aim of those running LFC is to develop the club to a point where we can sustainably challenge for every trophy every year.
So I guess my point is that even if we fail to win the league this season, we will be challenging for it (and the CL) again next year. And the year after that. And the year after that…
Articles published on the site this week, with samples:
Sunday January 27th:
Build a Rocket Boys – Taking Liverpool FC to the Stars, by Mark Cohen.
It is here where my mind has been occupied since the City defeat. The focus and resolve City showed and the cup final atmosphere at the Etihad was instructive to me, as it showed how desperate Pep was to successfully pit his rocket, procured with a simply massive and unmatched total impulse, but poor specific impulse, against our red Saturn procured with less than half the money but for all intents and purposes, the same demonstrable quality ie a much higher specific impulse than his team.
His elation in beating us, extraordinarily narrow though it was, a telling sign.
Pep is attempting to show that total impulse i.e. final achievement, winning things is what matters. It doesn't matter a jot to Pep that he had to spend triple everybody else, for him, that is not relevant. The only thing that counts is titles. If Pep produces a team which pips Liverpool to the title, in his mind, this will be vindication that he is the best around.
Of course it isn't.
Monday January 28th:
18/19 Premier League Preview | Matchweek 24 | Leicester City (H), by Gary Fulcher.
Leicester finished 9th last season with 47 points so they are on course to better their points tally if not final league position and have recorded recent wins over Man City at home (2-1) and Chelsea away (1-0). The Foxes are also ranked 6th in the away league table winning five and drawing two of their 12 away games prior to their visit to Anfield.
The last three league meetings between Liverpool and Leicester have been settled by a single goal (all in Liverpool's favour) including a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture back in September, which is a game Allison Becker learned a lot from following his over confidence on ball that directly led to Leicester pulling a goal back in the 63rd minute.
Can LFC Win the League? Yes. But Either Way I'm Proud of My Team; Screw the Haters , by Paul Tomkins.
It struck me recently – amidst the bizarre growing antipathy towards Liverpool FC that has swollen way beyond the expected rivalries – that little would make a ton of neutrals and nemeses happier than Liverpool "doing a Napoli": finishing 2nd with 91 points.
It would make them happier, I'd argue, than if Liverpool were to finish a distant 3rd or 4th without ever being in a title race, when clocking up, say, a merely respectable 75 points. Liverpool being absolutelyoutstanding – but not quite as outstanding as Manchester City – would be hilarious, I'm sure. Imagine the bants.
This is the same logic that sees Liverpool mocked for losing a Champions League final when City, Everton and Spurs have never even reached one in their history, Arsenal have done so only once (and for which I respect that achievement and remember the final), and the last appearances for Chelsea and Man United were now more than a handful of years ago. It's the same logic where Chelsea fans can sing of Steven Gerrard falling over and conveniently forget John Terry slipping on the turf to miss his penalty to lose their Champions League final shootout.
This is schadenfreude at its most absurd; weirder, almost, than fans from places of severe poverty telling Liverpudlians to "sign on".

Good location and friendly and cooperative staff.
Flush in one of the toilet stopped working after one night.
Great Employees, But I usually get more from a two star hotel.
They were very helpful when I told them that I left my wallet in that shuttle. And the shuttle driver was also very, very nice.
If you're going to serve breakfast whether it is free or not you shouldn't just serve a bunch of unhealthy sugary food in the morning with 0 protein.
Great location, attractive clean room, but the air conditioner was very noisy. I told the staff about the ac when we checked out and they said that they would do something about it.
Good location, attractive clean room.

It is the location – on the International Drive tourist strip – and the friendly staff that attracts visitors back to this Las Quinta.

Those here just wanting the Disney theme parks will do better closer to Walt Disney World. But if you want to see more of what Orlando has to offer this maybe the ideal base.

What is the Parish Giving Scheme?
The Parish Giving Scheme (or PGS for short) is an established planned giving scheme for churches that was launched across the Diocese of Leeds in January 2020.
Developed eleven years ago, by the Diocese of Gloucester, the PGS is a proven way to boost levels of parish income but also offers a myriad of other benefits for parishes and givers alike. Currently, 30 dioceses across the UK already trust and use the scheme.
The PGS helps regular givers donate safely to their church by direct debit either monthly, quarterly or annually. Once a parish has registered with the PGS, members of its congregation can normally make regular donations by completing a PGS Gift Form ( available from their Parish) and posting it directly to the PGS team in Gloucester. From April 2020 the PGS launched a new dedicated telephone service which allows donors to set up their direct debits quickly and easily by telephone instead of completing the Gift Form. A new service allowing donors to sign up to the PGS online is being piloted with the help of parishes in the Diocese of Leeds between December 2020 and March 2021 after which the new online service is expected to be rolled out nationally. Click here to find out more about the PGS online giving pilot .
The PGS team set up direct debits to come out of donor accounts on the 1st day of the month and also automatically claim eligible Gift Aid before transferring donations to the church's bank account on the 10th of every month. The Gift Aid amount is then transferred later the same month once released by HMRC. This not only reduces the administration burden on church volunteers but also helps parishes resolve their cash flow problems.
The diagram below shows you how the PGS works on a monthly basis. See our helpful Frequently Asked Questions document for more help.
You can find out about the PGS pilot parishes in the Diocese and read feedback on their PGS experience so far.

Mad Max fans, riders and motoring enthusiasts are invited to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the cult Australian dystopian film with a big party in February 2019.
Over the past couple of years, there have been several successful Mad Max motorcycle festivals including the March 2017 Wanted Dead or Alive Tour organised by the South Of Heaven Social Motorcycle Club.
Now the club is planning a huge 40th anniversary event, "The Search For Max", at Clunes, Victoria, on February 2, 2019.
Club spokesman Mark Burke says they are working a a number of the film's actors and stunt riders to "build an unforgettable moment that will leave Mad Max fans with many stories and hopefully many signatures".
"We aim to seek out the original cast of Mad Max plus seek others from the trilogy," he says.
They are in the early stages of planning, but Mark says there will be movie-themed vehicles, costumed participants, plenty of entertainment, food and drinks, and "most importantly we'll bring about the feeling of Mad Max mania".
Admission prices and ticket sales have not yet been decided, but will be limited and include camping.
Thousands of dollars has been raised at previous events for charities and charities will once again benefit from the 40th anniversary celebrations, Mark says.
Mark says they recently created a union with the Silverton Collective who are a group of enthusiasts of the film series.
Watch this video on the collective and this year's Wanted Dead or Alive Tour.
More details on the 2019 event will be published on this special Facebook page and here on MotorbikeWriter as they come to hand, so stay tuned and start getting your costume and motorcycle sorted for the event.

'Mimiko Put In Place An Outstanding Public Healthcare System In Ondo' – Governor Akeredolu
Joy Oyediran, July 30, 2018 July 30, 2018 , 0
Rotimi Akeredolu, the governor of Ondo State, has reaffirmed the outstanding achievements of his predecessor, Olusegun Mimiko. Specifically, the current Ondo governor said that Dr. Mimiko did exceptionally well in the area of healthcare.
The ondo governor said that the quality, accessible and affordable health care put in place by Mimiko, who was governor from 2019 to 2017 was exceptional, while also adding that his administration would try to surpass the achievements of his predecessor.
Mr. Akeredolu said in a phone interview with the correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Atlanta, U.S. over the weekend that his administration was doing a lot, continuing from where Dr. Mimiko left.
The governor commended his predecessor for his feat in the provision of health care for the people, a feat that won the state international recognition.
"We are doing a lot; we have five cardinal points," Akeredolu said.
"We had like a contract with the people of Ondo State.
"One of them is for us to make health affordable and accessible and this is what we are trying to do.
"I never run away from the fact that I met on the ground, a commendable health facility; but a few of them have run down, even before we got there.
"So, we needed to up it a bit and make sure that they meet with modern trends or make sure that there are enough equipment and other facilities for use.
"We are trying to improve on this.
"It's so low in Ondo State because the 'Mother and Child' took care of a number of issues there when my predecessor was in office.
"So, we want to get even higher than what he did; we have facilities, but what we're trying to do is to get it better''.
Mr Akeredolu disclosed that the state's health insurance scheme was ready for take-off in August, adding that, the enabling law had been passed by the House of Assembly after a long period.
He also said that he has given approval for the facilities to be used by the Health Insurance Scheme, explaining that the UN Children's Fund would participate in the scheme.
"UNICEF took some of our legislators and a few others, sponsored them to Delta to study how it (health insurance scheme) is being run.
"So the law has just been passed; one cannot say its effect now until we start by next month.
"I'm sure everything would be ready for us to commence the insurance scheme in the state,'' the governor told NAN.
He said while in the U.S., he also visited the Sickle Cell Foundation and had fruitful discussions with them on how they could assist Ondo state.
"They have a big foundation, with which they can assist and they had given promises and we are going to sign a Memorandum of Understanding to get them to Ondo state to do a lot of things,'' he said.
Mr Akeredolu said he contacted some Ondo State indigenes and they had shown interest in coming back home to support the administration.
"A few of them I spoke with also believed that they could raise funds to sponsor one or two containers of new medical equipment for the state.''

Google Calendar makes rescheduling meetings easierBREAKING: Imo Deputy Governor, Eze Madumere, Impeached


If you've joined in with me for my #LoveYourBrand Challenge then you know that this month I'm focusing on the power of loving who God has made you to be. When you love yourself, your ministry and/or your business will greatly improve. This month I talked to the owner and creator of Vision Words, a small business that creates affirmation based sticky notes you can put anywhere in your environment. Martha Banks-Hall created this amazing business and I wanted her to share with you all her answers to my questions that I had for her.
Genesis: What does the word "Affirmation" mean to you?
Martha: To me the word affirmation means a statement that declares truth into my life. Stating a fact or belief; asserting it strongly. Affirmations are tools that we can use to significantly change every area of our life. If you stated a positive affirmation such as "I can Achieve Greatness" outloud every day for 30 days imagine how your mindset would change!
Genesis: During one of our conversations, you spoke on being "intentional" and "intentional living". Can you go deeper into what that means and how people can apply this mindset to their lives?
Martha: Intentional living is something that many of us need to focus on in order to overcome obstacles that we find ourselves complaining about. For example if you wake up with the intention that it is going to be great day and hold on to that intention; then no matter what happens during that day, you are able to look at it with the eyes of positivity. This changes how you react and in turn can change the outcome of the situations you encounter.
What is your intention for your life? Are you just living day by day, letting life happen to you or are you being intentional in your thoughts and plans and actions? Do you set goals and plans, do you intend to be in 'different place' next year than you're in today? Not because you need something better but because you want to grow as an individual.
The intention with which you live determines the outcome of your life. Thinking about things before you do them what is the real reason why you do things; your thoughts and actions.
It's just like the famous saying goes: If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail. Set plans, set goals and even if you don't reach them right away they steer you into the direction of the result you are seeking. This is much better than just waking around aimlessly in life. You'll be surprised of the outcomes in your life when you live intentionally, on purpose, with a desired goal and target.
Genesis: Why do you think people don't go after their dreams? How do affirmations and speaking life change that?
Martha: There are a few reasons why people don't go after their dreams: fear, doubt, pre-conceived mindset (such as what your parents taught you "that will never work", "that doesn't happen to people like us") as well as procrastination, laziness, complacency.
Using affirmations help to change your mindset and whatever negative beliefs you've had. Using affirmations empowers you with the words that will sink into your spirit and grow and bear fruit. Words have a way of sticking with you! Those words as you believe them and speak them to yourself will give you the power to change your mindset to positive thoughts and beliefs.
Martha: In Ephesians when Paul tells us to put on the full armour of God… The only Offensive piece of Armour is the Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. THE WORD!! Words are what we are to use to attack the enemy, the doubt, the fear, the laziness. Your words are soo important and powerful!
Genesis: What advice would you give those trying to start a business or go after their dreams?
If you have a dream and an idea for a business that is great! What is even better is actually executing on the idea and dream to bring it to fruition. GO FOR IT! In this day and age we have all the resources and information we could possibly need. With just Google and YouTube alone you are equipped to build an Empire! Work at it, make it a reality and don't let anything discourage you! So many times we think we need to have things perfect before we put our product / business out into the public. One of my favorite sayings has been Progress Over Perfection! Having something done that you can make better later is better than having nothing at all! (Obviously always strive for Excellence but you understand my meaning). Move confidently towards your dream and work at it each and every day consistently and you are sure to see results and success!
Vision Words creates products that inspire, empower and motivate people to achieve thier goals and dreams in life. Our first line of products are Sticky Notes with Visual Affirmations on them in 8 categories; Be Happy, Believe in Yourself, Fitness, Gratitude, Love, Scriptures of Faith,Scriptures of Encouragement and Success. We believe in the Power of Words and the Power of Positivity. Our hope is that if you are surrounded by Visual Affirmations throughout your day; that can have a positive impact on your day, your week, your month, your year and your life.

Recall Of Easter Toys
(New York, NY) -- More than 500-thousand Easter toys have been recalled from Target stores because of a choking and swallowing hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the recall on about 560-thousand "Hatch and Grow Easter Eggs" that are water absorbent and were being sold at Target stores across the country. The recall says that if the toy were to be eaten by a child, it could expand inside their stomach and lead to internal obstructions, ultimately leading to surgery.
Consumers can bring the package to a Target store for a full refund.

How does the census work? FAQs
The census takes place starting April 1, 2020 and is based on the address where someone is living/staying on that specific day.
Student highlight: It is NOT based on your "permanent address" or who might claim you as a dependent on their taxes.
Students who live on campus in residence halls will have their census information completed for them by their college or university. Everyone else must complete one census form on their own for all the people living at their address.
First people will be asked to complete an online Census form. Those who don't respond will receive a paper form in the mail. Census enumerators, people from your area who are being employed by the Census, will come to the doors of those who don't complete the paper form.
The United State Census Bureau can be a useful resource for general questions about the census and how it's going to to work.
What are the challenges to getting a complete count?
Does the risk of not participating outweigh the risk of participating?
There are many factors that may lead to an undercount in the Census:
Citizenship status question – The Supreme Court will decide on this question in late spring 2019.
Many people face barriers to participation, such as people experiencing homelessness, and those speaking languages that the Census will not be translated into, such as Hmong, Oromo, and Somali.
Many communities have uncertainty about whether participating in the Census is worth the potential risks, such as immigrant communities concerned about how the citizenship status question might be used and Native nations with questions of sovereignty and history of forced removal.
Off-campus, adult, renter and highly mobile students are at risk of going uncounted for a range of reasons.
Lots of temporary staff from the most impacted communities are needed!

Are you a trusted messenger? Think about communities you're connected to: geographic, cultural, religious, campus student groups, or other communities. Are you a trusted messenger in those spaces? If the census matters to you, you may be able to help others in those communities get information about and participate in the upcoming census. On the other hand, there is so much distrust about the census that it can actually be harmful for "outsiders" to enter communities where they do not have pre-existing trusting relationship to try to help people participate in the census. Self-awareness and reflection are important first steps prior to deciding how to be helpful.
Work for the Census. These are part-time jobs that can be done in the evening or weekend and pay well. The Census Bureau particularly needs people with language skills and relationships in their own communities who can help achieve a complete count. Due to the low unemployment rate, the Census is working hard to fill these positions. If part-time work in your own community could be a fit for you, consider applying. (More information here.)
Talk to friends, family, and neighbors about the 2020 Census. A lot of people just don't know the census is coming, and once they understand how important it is to their communities and that others they trust think it matters, they do, too.
Commit to Count Table. Set up a table on campus before the census to provide information, have people commit to participate in the Census, and write reminder postcards to have sent to themselves.
Help people complete the Census form. If you're a trusted member of a community, you could be an important helper. Libraries, schools, and other familiar and trusted community centers can be places where neighbors access computers and get help completing the Census form for their household.
Join a Complete Count Committee. Across the state, people are coming together to form Complete Count Committees (CCC). You can form a CCC around a physical or interest community, or connect to one that already exists. Learn about CCCs here.
Contact a Local Library or League of Women Voters. Organizations such as libraries and local LWV chapters are organizing to support complete census counts. Find one near you and reach out to see if you can support their efforts.
Contact Illinois Complete Count Commission to learn about how the census will effect Illinois and how you can helps get an accurate count.

Discussion in 'Wii - Console and Game Discussions' started by wiidsguy, Jun 16, 2008.
I think it looks cool, new stuff like the play calling is way cool.
But what do you think. i may buy this one.
I bought the 07 Version and rented the 08 version.
It's really sad, I never took the time to play it more often.
Have been playing 08 for the past few days.
Am English, so have only a passing familiarity with the game in real life. I know the basic rules etc but wouldn't be completely aufait.
First played Madden on the Xbox 360 and loved it. There's something that gives you a pleasure tingle when you complete a decent pass.
It was a bit too simplified on the DS, but I passed some time on it.
I've only had my Wii for a fortnight, so it could still be just the novelty, but the extra hand motions etc involved I find captivate me greatly.
I couldn't sit down and play a season - it would bore the shite out of me. It's a great game for killing 20 mins before going out or whatever, though.
Would I buy it ? I might, but I'd wait for 09 to come out then get 08 cheap 2nd hand.
I still hope it comes together.
e) Don't buy or rent.
'08 wasn't nearly as good as I'd hoped. In many ways inferior to '07.
I think 09 will be one of tehr better ones, but where do they go after this one, how many more maddens do we need, do we really need one every year.
Madden 09 looks really good, with it's "arcade 5v5" and the "call your shots" modes specific to wii look really good. I'm really looking forward to this. I did get to play Madden 07, but skipped Madden 08 (didn't have a wii durring it's release, long story).
Is there a good reason for Madden and other sports titles to have a brand new game every year?

The Unstoppable Force of Huxley, Darwin, and Frances Power Cobbe
February 13, 2015 Dana Hunter
Reading this book on Victorian England's marriage laws is slow going, because I keep running into fascinating women. Mary Lyndon Shanley quotes a snippet of their work, and then I end up haring off after the source and promptly getting immersed in that instead. I made it to Chapter Two, and I did intend to get all the way to Three, but then I ran into Frances Power Cobbe. And I had to read her article "Criminals, idiots, women and minors" in its entirety. It is so full of good things that I will probably quote from it even more. The woman was a caution. She may have been an anti-vivisectionist, but she completely eviscerates the laws against married women owning their own property. She impales her opponents' arguments on their own logic before she finishes them off with several master strokes. It's just amazeballs.
Since we're just past Darwin Day, I figured I'd share this bit with you. It seems appropriate.
Frances Power Cobbe, people. Oh, yeah!
"Woman is physically, mentally, and morally inferior to man." Therefore it follows—what?—that the law should give to her bodily weakness, her intellectual dulness, her tottering morality, all the support and protection which it is possible to interpose between so poor a creature and the strong being always standing over her? By no means. Quite the contrary, of course. The husband being already physically, mentally, and morally his wife's superior must in justice receive from the law additional strength by being constituted absolute master of her property. Do we not seem to hear one of the intelligent keepers in the Zoological Gardens explaining to a party of visitors: —"This, ladies and gentlemen, is an inoffensive bird, the Mulier Anglicana. The beak is feeble, and the claws unsuited for grubbing. It seems to be only intelligent in building its nest, and taking care of its young, to whom it is peculiarly devoted, as well as to its mate. Otherwise it is a very simple sort of bird, picking up any crumbs which are thrown to it, and never touching carrion like the vulture, or intoxicating fluids like the maccaw. Therefore, you see, ladies and gentlemen, as it is so helpless, we put that strong chain round its leg, and fasten it to its nest, and make the bars of its cage exceptionally strong. As to its rudimentary wings we always break them early, for greater security; though I have heard Professor Huxley say that he is convinced it could never fly far with them, under any circumstances."
And later:
Husband and wife, in the eye of the poet, the divine, and—shall we say, the Judge of the Divorce Court? are "not twain, but one flesh." I know not whether Mr. Darwin will sanction that theory concerning the Origin of Species, which tells us that
Man came from nothing, and by the same plan
Woman was made from the rib of a man;
or whether Dr. Carpenter and Professor Huxley have verified the anatomical doctrine held by our nurses, that in consequence of Adam's sacrifice of his rib, men have ever since had one rib fewer than women. Still, however learned physiologists may decide this obscure problem we shall all agree that it is a noble oriental metaphor, to describe a wife's relation to her husband as "bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh." But the union of two human beings may, as preachers say, be considered three ways. Firstly, there is the sort of union between any friends who are greatly attached to one another; a union oftenest seen, perhaps, between two sisters, who each have full liberty to come and go, and dispose of their separate resources, but who yet manage commonly to live in harmony and affection, and not unfrequently to bring up a whole batch of little nephews and nieces in their common abode. Two such we know, who for many years have kept the same account at their banker's, and say that they find only one serious objection to the plan—they can never make each other a present!
Secondly, there is the union of the celebrated Siamese twins, who are tied together—not by Mother Church but by Mother Nature—so effectually that Sir William Fergusson and Sir William Wilde are equally powerless to release them. Each of them has, however, the satisfaction of dragging about his brother as much as he is dragged himself; and if either have a pocket, the other must needs have every facility of access thereto.
Lastly, for the most absolute type of union of all, we must seek an example in the Tarantula spider. As most persons are aware, when one of these delightful creatures is placed under a glass with a companion of his own species, a little smaller than himself, he forthwith gobbles him up; making him thus, in a very literal manner, "bone of his bone" (supposing tarantulas to have any bones) "and flesh of his flesh." The operation being completed, the victorious spider visibly acquires double bulk, and thenceforth may be understood to "represent the family" in the most perfect manner conceivable.
Now, of these three types of union, it is singular that the only one which seems to have approved itself, in a pecuniary point of view, to the legislative wisdom of England should be that of the Tarantula.
"Ya burnt!"
These women, people. They make me want to jump in the TARDIS and have afternoon tea with them. It's so much sweeter and richer when Victorian English man-tears are used instead of regular water.

I love the tarantula comparison.
Do quote more from this woman, she is amazing. I'm rather glad that here, beyond the reach of time, I will never be able to piss her off, because she cuts very sharp with those words of hers!
And she looks like such a granny in her photo. A steel-toed granny.
Marcus Ranum
Pro-tip when making tea with man-tears: make sure they're piping hot and use honey and lemon to cut the salt a bit. Don't boil in a copper kettle unless you don't mind the kettle getting corroded!
Pianoman, Church of the Golden Retriever
Never heard of her until today. The article is great, I love the wit she had. Especially this line after the Shelley love poem:
"Is it possible that one of them, whose eye kindles over such words, seriously believes that his own mother, sister, daughter, is made of such different clay from himself, as that for her, abject dependence is calculated to create and foster love, while for him it would be gall and wormwood, turning his affection into bitterness and revolt?"


On Monday, college football season came to a close with yet another National Championship for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Lewis Hamilton scored the trifecta with another World Championship this past Formula One season (and I was lucky enough to watch him clinch it in Austin in October). Will we see another repeat winner on the red carpet this awards season?
Sunday's nights Golden Globes put us on the right foot for the fashion season. It was refreshing to see some newcomers on the carpet, but I missed some of our usual favorites – Charlize Theron, Zoe Saldana, Emma Stone. Regardless, there were some shining stars.
Whereas last year was all about the sheer dress, the naked dress, the "put some damn clothes on" dress, our ladies were pretty covered up at the Globes. (Well, except for their sternums and midriffs.) When it came to accessories, celebrities followed Coco Chanel's philosophy of taking off one piece of jewelry before leaving the house. Overall, the looks were elegant and understated, hair and makeup included.

Dermot O'Leary runs off This Morning set with overheating iPads amid scorching heatwave
This Morning presenter Dermot O'Leary was forced to race off set during Friday's episode of the popular daytime show, as climbing temperatures scorching the UK, began to damage the iPads he uses with fellow presenter Alison Hammond.
The pair had been filming outdoors during the summer heat as chef Phil Vickery showed them how to make their very own ice cream to help cool down in the midst of the heatwave.
Yet partway through the segment, Alison noticed that a warning had appeared on the screen of the iPad, stating that the temperature was too high, meaning it needed to be removed or risk suffering permanent damage.
"So I'm just taking the iPads out of the sun, because it says the temperature is too high," said Alison.
After Alison Initially tucked them under the table, Phil warned that she could stand on them, leading the star to hand them to Dermot, who promptly raced off screen.
As he made his departure, the presenter could be heard exclaiming just how hot the tech devices had become during their short time outdoors as he said "Ow!" before racing off screen to cool down the expensive devices.
The on air gaffe did serve as an important reminder to viewers at home of some of the often overlooked issues caused by the current hot weather.
While sun cream, hats and sunglasses might immediately spring to mind, or even pet safety such as not knowing when it's too hot to walk your dog – not everyone remembers that climbing temperatures can damagw electronics such as mobile phones, tablets and laptops.
According to tech experts at Lifewire, one top tip to help prevent your electronics from getting fried, is to turn them onto aeroplane mode, to limit battery consumption and help to reduce the core temperature.
They also advise keeping your devices out of direct sunlight.
Apple also advises against using your device in excessive heat, with iPhones in particular having an optimum ambient working temperature of between 16° to 22°C.
Anything higher than 35°C risks permanently ruining the battery capacity – which is bad news for some parts of the UK, as temperatures have already been predicted to climb to as high as 34°C.
The news comes as the UK experienced its hottest day of the year on Friday, with thousands of people from all across the country racing to the Island's beaches in the hopes of enjoying the hot weather.
