After all the controversy, it turns out that there really are critical vulnerabilities in Apple's Wi-Fi drivers that affect Intel and PowerPC based Macs described in three separate CVEs. After more than six weeks of Apple's spin that strongly implied there was no Wi-Fi vulnerability and six weeks of conspiracy theories that this whole thing was a fabricated stunt to garner attention for some fake security researchers, Apple released three critical patches before next week's Toorcon event where security researchers Brian Maynor and Jon Ellch are planning to release details on the Apple Wi-Fi exploit and more.
After all the controversy, it turns out that there really are critical vulnerabilities in Apple's Wi-Fi drivers that affect Intel and PowerPC based Macs described in three separate CVEs. After more than six weeks of Apple's spin that strongly implied there was no Wi-Fi vulnerability and six weeks of conspiracy theories that this whole thing was a fabricated stunt to garner attention for some fake security researchers, Apple released three critical patches before next week's Toorcon event where security researchers David Maynor and Jon Ellch are planning to release details on the Apple Wi-Fi exploit and more.
The controversy started around the original report from Brian Krebs "Hijacking a Macbook in 60 seconds" who reported from Black Hat 2006 on August 2nd about security researchers David Maynor and Jon Ellch. The Mac press balked at Krebs' claim that this was a Macbook being hacked because the official demo given at Black Hat 2006 only pertained to third party drivers and hardware. But Krebs stood his ground and clarified that he wasn't talking about the "official" on-the-record demo, but rather the private demo he got from David Maynor and even released a word-for-word audio transcript. Krebs insisted that he witnessed a hack on a stock Macbook with no third party devices plugged in.
The story had gone dormant for 2 weeks until August 17 when an orchestrated* assault launched against David Maynor and Jon Ellch that accused SecureWorks (company David Maynor works for) of changing their story. Jim Dalrymple of MacWorld called the research a misrepresentation and other IDG publications followed. Blogger David Chartier even declared that "SecureWorks admits to falsifying MacBook wireless hack" and Digg amplified the bogus stories on a grand scale. Frank Hayes of ComputerWorld even referred to Maynor and Ellch as "quack hackers" (Frank Hayes is an honorable man and apologized). The problem is that none of these publications did any basic research because SecureWorks NEVER changed their story, never misrepresented, and never admitted falsifying the MacBook wireless hack. The original video had clearly stated within the first 20 seconds that the demo pertained to third party drivers and hardware yet we have not seen a single correction from any of these publications.
As a result of the faulty reporting, tens of thousands of websites have declared Maynor and Ellch as frauds. Some conspiracy websites even popped up and claimed the original SecureWorks video demo was a "magic show". Anyone who defended Maynor and Ellch in the media was equally attacked by these fanatics. The list of defenders was thin and included myself, Brian Krebs, and Rich Mogull. I provided one of the most vigorous defenses of Maynor and Ellch and received a ton of heat over it. A blog site dedicated to attacking Brian Krebs was created and one of the more vulgar Mac blogs refers to me as the security b****. Even with the confirmation of the Apple Wi-Fi exploit, these sites continue their attack.
Apple was very careful to spin the news Thursday when they spoke to reporters about the patch. According to CNET reporter Joris Evers "Apple's security patches are not related to the Black Hat presentation, a company representative told CNET News.com on Thursday". Many of the critics have taken this to mean that these patches aren't the ones Maynor revealed to Brian Krebs at Black Hat and that it doesn't vindicate them. But if we examine the comments from Apple closely, it's technically a true statement because the official demo given at Black Hat pertained specifically to third party hardware and drivers but it has nothing do with whether SecureWorks and David Maynor informed Apple of a vulnerability or not.
When pushed to clarify the issue, Apple would only say to Joris Evers "In August, SecureWorks approached Apple with a potential flaw that they felt could affect wireless drivers on Macs ... They did not supply us with any information to allow us to identify a specific problem, so we initiated an internal audit". I approached Apple to clarify the issue and asked the following questions regardless of what Apple defined as "evidence".
Did SecureWorks ever disclose any Wi-Fi vulnerabilities to Apple?
Did SecureWorks ever disclose the packet captures of the malicious payload used to trigger said vulnerabilities?
Did SecureWorks ever provide driver disassemblies pertaining to said Wi-Fi vulnerabilities?
Did SecureWorks ever provide crash dumps pertaining to said Wi-Fi vulnerabilities?
Did SecureWorks ever point to the location of the vulnerable code of said Wi-Fi vulnerabilities?
Do any of the current patches released by Apple match any of the characteristics of the information provided by SecureWorks?
So far, I have yet to receive any reply from Apple. These questions are critical because any competent researcher or engineer would be able to replicate an attack if given all of the above information and even the packet captures alone should have been enough. When I had previously contacted Apple's Lynn Fox, she would only vaguely answer my questions but refused to say anything on the record. Furthermore, Apple is playing this off as a "preemptive" effort to strengthen Apple's wireless drivers "found internally" with no credit given to SecureWorks, Maynor, or Ellch. But the timing of this patch release is awfully coincidental with next week's Toorcon event.
Speaking of Apple driver vulnerabilities, I had accurately pin pointed the driver issue last month when I reported on Atheros' non-role in this whole affair. As I stated, Atheros was not responsible for this issue since the flaw exists above the I/O kit in the upper-layer driver code of Mac OS X which is identical to the code in FreeBSD. A critical remote exploit FreeBSD flaw was found back in November 2005 and an official CVE was issued in January. One critic (the one who called the SecureWorks video demo a "magic show") claimed this was preposterous because the MacBook Pro was shipped in February 2006 and surely Apple would have patched something that was known for three months. Apple spokesperson Lynn Fox went as far as denying any risk with the FreeBSD vulnerability to Brian Krebs.
"Fox also said Apple staff were already aware of the flaw when SecureWorks contacted them about it prior to their Black Hat presentation, and that Apple had already determined that the wireless flaw addressed in the FreeBSD patch was not exploitable on any of the Mac products"
Now this statement has come back to haunt Apple. Ironically, I had accidentally stumbled upon this when I asked Maynor and Ellch in my video interview if the Wi-Fi vulnerability was anything "like" the FreeBSD hack back in January. I could have sworn I got a funny reaction from Maynor and Ellch but I figured they only reacted that way because not many people knew about the FreeBSD flaw. Little did I know at the time that I had actually stumbled upon the truth and that the Apple Wi-Fi flaw was EXACTLY like the FreeBSD flaw because it's all the same code.
So where do we go from here? Next week at the Toorcon security conference, Maynor and Ellch will present their findings on Apple to settle this once and for all. I'll be there to cover the event and ask questions. If anyone in the audience wants to ask Maynor and Ellch any questions but can't attend Toorcon, please post them in the talkback below and I'll try to get them answered for you. I will be posting video of the interview.
* People are still demanding that I provide proof of an "orchestrated" assault. I had originally stated that I would release the details within days but I could not get authorization from the source. SecureWorks PR had promised to release an FAQ over a month ago but they haven't delivered anything and they seemed content to not rock the boat and allow the vicious attacks on Maynor and Ellch to go unanswered. This information will be released next week at Toorcon as well.

Every year, more than one million adults are hospitalized with pneumonia, which is second only to childbirth when it comes to hospital admissions. Unfortunately, approximately 50,000 people end up dying due to the illness. While we never like to start a conversation using scare tactics, we bring up these numbers to underscore the importance of protecting yourself against this very dangerous disease.
Here at Advanced Infectious Disease Medical, under the expert guidance of Dr. Avisheh Forouzesh, our goal is to educate our clients in Hoboken, New Jersey, about infectious diseases and find ways to prevent them in the first place.
In the following, we discuss the different types of pneumonia and how you can best protect your family and yourself from contracting this serious lung infection.
Pneumonia is a serious infection that lodges itself in the air sacs in your lungs, causing them to become inflamed. In an effort to fight off the infection, your body responds with mucus and fluids, which fill the air sacs in your lungs, making it hard for you to breathe. Pneumonia can also be extremely difficult to treat once the infection takes hold.
simply say pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. However, the most common type is caused by streptococcus and is referred to as "pneumococcal pneumonia." It tends to attack individuals with weakened immune systems, including older people and those with compromised immune systems. In fact, a third of all cases of pneumonia start with the flu or other respiratory viruses.
If you think you may be among this high-risk group, it's important to discuss that with your doctor and to get vaccinated against pneumonia.
Pneumonia is further categorized by where you were infected. The first type of pneumonia is called community-acquired pneumonia, which is an infection that develops outside a healthcare environment.
The second type of pneumonia is labeled hospital-acquired pneumonia, and as the name implies, it develops in hospitals, especially among those who are on ventilators.
Lastly, there's healthcare-acquired pneumonia, which describes any pneumonia that develops in the context of a healthcare environment, such as senior communities or outpatient centers.
When it comes to protecting yourself against pneumonia, there are several ways to go about it, starting with vaccinations. The CDC recommends pneumonia vaccinations for people over the age of 65 and for those with certain chronic conditions such as COPD, asthma, diabetes, or any condition that weakens your immune system. Some medications can also weaken your immune system. There are two types of pneumonia vaccinations that are recommended by the CDC. If you have any questions visit Dr.Forouzesh for more information.
Outside of vaccination, there are some things you can do on your own to ward off pneumonia, such as washing your hands frequently, quitting smoking, and making sure you're well-rested and healthy.
For more information on preventing and treating pneumonia, please don't hesitate to call us or use the online booking tool found on this website to set up an appointment.

Top 10 Roman Goddesses
August 5, 2021 June 15, 2021 by Sandhya Ghimire
The Romans, like the Greeks, attributed gods and myths to explain any incomprehensible phenomena.
Their culture, society, philosophy, and way of living are deeply interwoven with their mythology. Studying their gods and goddesses provides a sneak peek into the everyday lives of the ancient Romans.
It may sound like a thousand years old, but Roman goddesses are as relevant today as ever. Great artists, architects, writers still draw inspiration from the Roman pantheon and draw their imaginations.
Similarly, spacecraft such as Juno and the Artemis lunar project are other examples with attractive connotations. Moreover, plants, animals, constellations, and planets have a common denominator: they are mostly named after Roman goddesses.
This article succinctly elucidates the magnificent and powerful pantheon of ancient Roman goddesses.
Who is the most powerful Roman goddess?
How many Roman goddesses are there?
Who did Cupid fall in love with?
Do Pagans still exist?
Who did Pagans worship?
9. Flora
8. Victoria
7. Ceres
6. Luna
5. Venus
4. Vesta
3. Diana
2. Minerva
1. Juno
Juno, the Queen of goddesses, is the most powerful Roman goddess.
The central forum of Di Consentes consisted of 12 gods and goddesses. They were Jupiter, Juno, Mars, Mercury, Diana, Minerva, Venus, Neptune, Apollo, Ceres, Vulcan, and Vesta
Cupid had gone to shoot an arrow on Psyche so that she may fall in love with a monster. Instead, he scratched himself with his dart and fell in love with her.
Yes, Modern Paganism or Neopaganism is a new religious movement that incorporates pre-modern beliefs of historic pagan people. They believe in pantheism, panentheism, animalism.
Pagans worshipped the Pre-Christian and goddesses through festivals and ceremonies.
Goddess of Dawn
Source: Wikimedia Commons
Equivalent to Eos in Greek mythology, Aurora is the Roman goddess of dawn. She is presumed to preside over the sky and await the arrival of the sun. The daughter of Hyperion and Theia, Helios and Selene's siblings, the sun god and moon goddess, respectively.
According to the myth, she hailed in a horse chariot from the sea and sprinkled dewdrops upon the earth. She traveled ahead of the sun while she carried a pitcher full of dew. For the Romans, she heralded the morning red across the sky and was the quintessential symbol of dawn.
Together with her husband, Titan Astraeus, they birthed many children who preside over several allocations such as the winds and the sky. Boreas, Eurus, Zephyrus, and Notus were the winds, whereas Eosphorus and Hesperus were morning stars and evening stars, respectively.
The god of war, Mars, was enamored by her beauty. His keen interest in Aurora irked Venus, who had her fall in love with several mortals. She married Tithonus, a mortal, and begged Zeus to endow him eternal age. Since she forgot to ask for eternal youth, Tithonus became an aging immortal until the gods finally turned into a cicada.
Goddess of Flowers, Spring
Goddess Flora
Flora is attributed to flowering plants of the spring season, often with those that bear seeds. She is seen as a symbol of fecundity, fertility, and blossoming. She is also known as the Love goddess for having those elements.
Mythology has it that she was invoked to avert rust on plants for a good harvest in Autumn. Rust was a fungal disease contracted by plants of orange color like rust. Flora usually comes as a twin of Pomona or the goddess of Harvest and Fruit. They complement each other and complete each other.
Flora and Pomona both had their flamen or specific priests to worship them. Numa, the ancient ruler of Rome, had a few priests in service for these deities. Two temples of Flora were built in Rome: one near the grand stadium of Circus Maximus and the other on the slopes of the Quirinal Hill.
Moreover, there was an annual celebration of prosperity and abundance called the Floralia festival in May. Large crowds gathered, donning vibrant colored clothes and adorning their heads with flower wreaths. She, too, was seen by Romans as clad in soft spring tones with blossoms on her hair and carrying a bouquet.
Goddess of Victory
Goddess Victoria
Victoria is the Roman equivalent of Nike or the goddess of triumph and victory. Her name is derived from the Latin 'Vincere,' meaning 'to conquer. She is widely depicted as honoring or crowning the victors, and as her picture suggests, her primary function was to reward the victors in battles.
She was closely associated with victors on a battlefield and determined the fate of each soldier. In other words, she could predict the conqueror in any war and reward him. She was most loved and revered by the Roman generals, who returned from war. She symbolized the win or victory over death.
Victoria was the defender of the Roman military as well as success. Many festivities and celebrations were held in her name in the city of Rome. Festival of Honos (honor) is one such festival dedicated to Victoria.
Almost all the gladiatorial games were dedicated and fought in the name of Victoria. She also had her temple on Palatine Hill and was worshipped by all. She is portrayed as a female goddess with enormous wings, trophies, a laurel wreath on her hair, and a shield inscribed with victors' names.
Goddess of Agriculture, Grains, Harvest
Goddess Ceres
Ceres, daughter of Saturn and Ops, is the Roman equivalent of Demeter, the goddess of Harvest. She was important and was responsible for seasons, Harvest, fertility, and famine.
Various mythologies surrounding her life portray her as the mother of multiple deities, associating her with motherhood and fertility. Some even explain the cause of change of seasons and famine; the mythology revolving around Ceres and her daughter, Proserpina, is one of them.
Proserpina was playing in a lake when Pluto saw her and immediately fell for her. He abducted her to the underworld, which angered Ceres. Distraught by the absence of her daughter, she spread famine all over the citizens. That is the story behind famine assumed by the Romans.
Roman god Jupiter intervened and had his brother Mercury talk to Pluto. Pluto agreed to send her back but gave her six seeds of grapes to eat, which would transport her to the underworld for about four to six months. When Proserpina is with Ceres, they are happy and come the spring season, whereas Ceres is unhappy when Proserpina leaves, thereby welcoming the cold winter.
Goddess of Moon
Goddess Luna
Luna is the Roman goddess personifying the moon. She is the Roman counterpart of Selene and symbolizes the different phases of life, like the waxing and waning of the moon. Luna is often associated with white items and the number 13. Instinct, luck, creativity are some of her themes.
During ancient times, the moon was considered impregnated to give birth to a new moon. She inspired love and eased childbirth. She assumed the power to hide reality and, on the other hand, to unveil illusions.
Diana, Hekate, and Luna form a triad and rule the heavens, the earth, and the underworld. Each of the phases of the moon represents the goddesses of the trio and their glory. The new moon is Diana, where she is fresh and ready for the hunt. Similarly, during waxing phases, Luna is in great glory and fulness. As the moon wanes, Hekate takes the lead to heal and transform.
One of her key powers is to invoke psychic abilities and instinct, stemming from the moon's association with night. Since she thrives in the night, she is known as the patroness of solution. The active subconscious mind and its projection in dreams corroborate this attribute.
Romans worshipped Luna and offered wine among other sacrifices at her altar. She has many temples built on her name, but the primary was at Aventine Hill, close to Diana's temple. She had another temple at Palatine Hill.
Goddess of Love
Goddess Venus
Venus was a Roman deity, very much inspired by the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Charming and loving, she was the epitome of beauty, similar to that of Aphrodite. However, in Rome, she was attributed to fertility, victory, and even the garden, unlike her Greek counterpart.
She was a popular deity who is featured in several mythologies of Rome. According to the legend, she was birthed from the sea. When Saturn castrated Uranus, his blood dropped on the sea, mixed with foam, and thus, came out Venus.
The name Venus came from Latin' venus', which means love. It is no wonder why Venus is associated with love, sexual reproduction, and erotic desire. She could make anybody-both gods and mortals, fall in love with her. Her sexuality was fluid as she was attracted to both males and females.
Incorporated in the Roman pantheon in the third century BCE, she was the catalyst behind the Roman victory over Carthaginians. Hence, she was revered as the symbol of success until the Christian takeover in the fourth century CE.
Being the mother of Aeneas, she was related to Romulus, and Julius Caesar claimed a link to her maternal side, heralding her as the first imperial dynasty.
Goddess of Hearth, Home
Goddess Vesta
In the Roman religion, Vesta is the goddess of hearth and domesticity, Hestia's Greek counterpart. Home, fertility, love, and peace are some of the themes that best attribute to her. Similarly, she is identified with veils, donkeys, and fire.
Vesta was the daughter of Saturn and Ops and one of the original gods of Roman mythology. A prophecy warned Saturn that his children would become his undoing. Thus, he swallowed his children one by one. As the firstborn child, she was eaten first. Instead of their last child, Saturn gulped a stone and vomited all his children out of his body.
She is presented as innocent and virgin, often fully clothed and veiled. Similarly, she is associated with a donkey. Since the hearth sustained the family's bread baking and the donkey churned the mill for flour, they were an essential part of Roman culture and house. The kettle and flames were an inseparable symbol of Vesta.
During the third century BC, her temple was built in Palatine Hill, and six priestesses were called Vestal Virgins. They kept a fire going and prepared ritual sacrifices for about 30 days there. Each year on March the first, the fire was burnt out and re-kindled. If the fire went out on any other day, it was considered a bad omen for the people of Rome.
Goddess of Hunt
Goddess Diana
Diana is derived from 'diviana,' 'dium,' and 'dius,' which means sky or daylight. Diana was associated with fertility, the moon, and childbirth. She is said to help women conceive and ease delivery. She was the daughter of Jupiter and Latona and the twin sister of goddess Apollo.
Artemis is her Greek counterpart goddess as they both are goddesses of hunting. Emerging as an indigenous goddess of woodland, she was worshipped as Diana Nemorensis or Diana of the woods for a long time. Her cult carried torches to a river in Rome and believed her to be a triad of goddesses.
Diana is easily recognized in artworks like slinging an arrow and bows, accompanied by a hounding dog or a deer. She is lightly clothed or barely covered and sometimes wearing nothing at all. She functioned as the goddess of wild animals and domestic animals and peasants, and other lower-class people.
Rome's Aventine Hill bears the oldest temple of Diana, dating to the sixth century BC. Since she was also the goddess of slaves, plebians and other lower-class people sought asylum in her temple. Every August, the thirteenth observed a festival exclusively dedicated to Diana.
Goddess of Wisdom and War
Goddess Minerva
Amongst the Roman pantheon, the wisest and most crafty, artsy, intelligent, and philosophical is Minerva, the Roman equivalent of Athena. She presided in heaven and looked down over everything and everyone. It gave her an upper hand of foresightedness and careful calculation.
While other Roman goddesses were heavily borrowed from the Greek religion, Minerva was an original Roman goddess. She was the descent of an Etruscan deity, Menrva, and assumed a similar name as well. Only later was she attributed with Athena after being Hellenized in the third or fourth century BCE. While Minerva and Athena are both known for their tactics during warfare, only the former is said to blow thunderbolts.
Minerva, along with Juno and Jupiter, formed a formidable triumvirate called the Capitoline Triad. She started the Capitoline Triad by replacing Mars from the Archaic Triad, Jupiter, Quirinus, and Mars. It was a significant shift from the Italian provincial power to the Mediterranean.
All craftsmen, artists, military leaders, politicians, and philosophers looked up to the venerated Minerva. Moreover, she was at the helm of all Roman mythology. There were many temples built in her dedication, and people observed various festivals in her name. It declined in the fourth century CE when the rise of Christianity eclipsed all her power and glory.
Goddess of Marriage, Home, Family
Goddess Juno
The defender of the Roman state and the champion of women, goddess Juno, was the chief of the Roman goddesses. Her Greek counterpart is goddess Hera, who is attributed the same. Another member of the Capitoline Triad was Jupiter, the leader of gods in the Roman mythos.
Juno was one of Rome's first gods and goddesses, who look after the personal lives of her worshipper and the Roman state. Depending on the time and place, she was a Midwife, a Mother, a Queen, and so on. Also associated with the moon, she symbolized the cycles of waxing and waning of all living beings.
People widely worshipped her in Rome due to this fluidity in her avatar. There were many festivals held in her honor and plenty of scattered temples all over the country. Unfortunately, her glory began fading after the advent of the Roman Empire in the first century BCE.
The name Juno invariably means youth or youthfulness in many words. She was the counterpart of the Etruscan deity, Uni, in ancient mythology. The sophisticated kingdom of Etruscan inspired Roman people heavily. Hence, suggesting Juno's origins. Since Uni and Juno are similar names, it eggs on the presumed suggestion.
Being the matron goddess, she supervised all the internal affairs of Rome and the people who inhabited it. She blessed marriages, sexual reproduction, and even cyclical menstruation in women.
Much of Roman myth was borrowed from the Greeks. However, they do have their tales, completely separate from those of the Greeks and some goddesses. Their significance lies in their power and influencing many contemporary phenomena, such as building temples and ceremonies. They have established faith and the fact that women ought to be worshipped and respected.

UN rights chief denounces Christian-Muslim violence in Ethiopia
Michelle Bachelet calls on authorities to conduct independent investigations into the deadly religious violence.
The UN rights chief also called for broader action to reconcile communities in Ethiopia, where Muslims make up about a third of the population [File: AFP]
Published On 7 May 20227 May 2022
The UN human rights chief has voiced alarm at recent deadly clashes between Muslims and Orthodox Christians in Ethiopia and called on authorities to investigate and bring perpetrators to justice.
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet said on Saturday that she was "deeply distressed" by the violence that erupted late last month in northern Ethiopia, reportedly killing at least 30 people and injuring more than 100 others.
The clashes began in Gondar city in the Amhara region on April 26, reportedly in connection with a land dispute, before quickly spreading to other regions and the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, she said.
The Islamic Affairs Council of Amhara said the funeral of a Muslim elder had been attacked, describing the scene as a "massacre" by heavily armed "extremist Christians".
The cemetery where the attack occurred neighbours a mosque and church and has been the subject of an ongoing dispute between Muslims and Orthodox Christians, who are the dominant group in Ethiopia.
"I understand two mosques were burnt and another two partially destroyed in Gondar," Bachelet said in her statement.
"In the apparent retaliatory attacks that followed, two Orthodox Christian men were reportedly burnt to death, another man hacked to death, and five churches burnt down" in the southwest of the country, she said, adding that other regions had since seen clashes.
In all, police had reportedly arrested and imprisoned at least 578 people in at least four cities in connection with the clashes, she said.
"I call on the Ethiopian authorities to promptly initiate and conduct thorough, independent and transparent investigations into each of these deadly incidents," Bachelet said.
Prevent further inter-religious violence
Authorities should strive to "ensure that those found to be responsible are held to account", she said, stressing that "individual accountability of perpetrators is essential to prevent further violence."
At the same time, "those arrested must be fully accorded their due process and fair trial rights in accordance with international human rights law, without discrimination."
The UN rights chief also called for broader action to reconcile communities in Ethiopia, where Muslims make up about a third of the population.
"To prevent further inter-religious violence, it is crucial that the underlying causes of this shocking violence are promptly addressed," she said, urging "meaningful participation of survivors, families and affected communities".
Such violence in Ethiopia is not a new development. In 2019, authorities arrested five people suspected of burning down four mosques in the town of Motta in the same region.
Fighting in Ethiopia's wider conflict has eased since the federal government declared a unilateral ceasefire last month, saying it would allow humanitarian aid to enter Tigray.
When Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed took power in 2018, he introduced sweeping political and economic reforms that won him international praise, culminating in the award of the Nobel Peace Prize for peacemaking efforts with longtime enemy Eritrea.

Q: Windows Server 2003: How to save everything in drive D? I have a client who has 5 computers and 1 Windows Server 2003. The client saves all the files from the program to drive D (285GB) in the server which is a network/shared folder. In drive C: which is 12GB always seems to be out of space/full even though other computers are saving everything through D:.
I looked into the server's PC and saw that in drive C saves all the Windows log, temp, and administrator documents (confirming by looking at the date/time). Nobody uses the administrator documents in any of the 5 computers.
When drive C gets full, the users in other 5 computers are unable to save anything (even though directly through drive D).
I would like to know how to keep the drive C from getting low in available space and save everything in D including temp/windows log/document and few other things thats related to the system.

A: If you can't get a bigger hard drive, partition D: and make one of its partitions the new C:, copying the existing C: onto it and recycling that sad 12gb drive. Make sure you create a backup of D: before you re-partition it though!
Barring this, I doubt there's any way to move everything to the other drive, although you might think about moving the swap file to another drive as per these instructions, which should also work on Server 2003 (which is basically XP AFAIK).

A: I'm guessing this is a Dell server? I inherited a crap ton of older Dell servers with a 12 G C: partition. Here is what i did:

*

*Start by making sure you have a good backup.

*Defrag each drive using a quality defrag utility (such as Diskkeepper)

*Download gparted, and repartition the drives as follows. I, for my own sanity, would perform and apply each action one at a time, rebooting between each action.

*

*Shrink D: to free up space for C:

*move D: all the way to the right.

*if D: is in an extended partition, then move the beginning of that to the beginning of D:

*extend C: into the free space.

There will be some chkdsk activity, which is normal.

The Port Stories Public Art Project Mosaic Mural leverages the Community Art Center's innovative approach to collaborative art making to beautify the Windsor Street Community and Health Center, a centralized multi-use building located in the Port/Area IV neighborhood of Cambridge. This mural will be presented as a part of the Port Stories Public Art Project, a multi-year initiative that uses public art and arts events to connect the past and present stories of the Port/Area Four neighborhood of Cambridge.
Matching funds will be provided through the Mayor's Summer Youth Employment Program, Cambridge Housing Authority, Department of Early Education and Care, TMP Foundation Support, National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Challenge America Grant.
The Margaret Fuller House is requesting funding to address critical structural and repair needs of their 200 year old National Historic Landmark Facility and surrounding land. The foundation mortar has seriously deteriorated over the harsh winter and with the extensive snow. Critters have eaten through cracks and burrowed into the basement of the Margaret Fuller House and into the yard and under the porches. The foundation stone and brick is in need of extensive repair and re-pointing.
Matching funds will be provided through grants and independently donated cash, supplies, and labor.
This proposal is to site and construct 6 "little free libraries" in specifically chosen locations in neighborhood in streets with regular foot traffic or near a passive park. The proposal will use little free library kits which can be purchased online from an organization in Wisconsin. These libraries may be sited in community gardens because of the constant activity and the possibility of combining a book and seed exchanges. Attaching a smaller waterproof box alongside the little free libraries could serve as a place for community announcements and information exchanges.
The EMW storefront is the physical home for all a variety of community programs. With full windows that face Mass Ave, the storefront serves as a transition from the exterior public space to an interior one. As the building is over 150 years old, the exterior is in significant need of beautification and activation. Additionally, the interior storefront is poorly insulated and does not contain an efficient heating or cooling system, providing little relief from extreme temperatures during the winter and summer. This project will: 1) Beautify the storefront exterior. 2) Build infrastructure for public art installations. 3) Renovate the storefront interior. 4) Establish a community library.
Matching funds will be provided by the Kong Family, LLC.
Social Umbrella concept is a circular public bench shaded by an umbrella. The more people that sit on it, the more the umbrella opens. It is powered by thin-film solar panels that form the shading element of the umbrella connected to a battery and winch in the base. Social Umbrella will be designed to create spontaneous engagement between users because it requires several people to come together to fully open the umbrella.
Green Cambridge will use the Forward Fund to create a detailed design including: materials, construction and deconstruction documentation (possibly including mobility), maintenance plan, detailed bill-of-quantity, and interactive hardware and software design. Furthermore, funds will be used to search for technology and materials partners, such as a solar panel provider. It is anticipated that Green Cambridge will submit the completed planning and design project for capital implementation funding during the next Forward Fund application round.
The design team consists of a talented experienced group including a designer from Stantec with experience in Boston and the Netherlands, a steel fabricator who is co-director of HarborArts, an engineer who designed the North Bank Bridge, and a programmer/hacker with experience in both interactive systems and as a manager of Boston Tech Poetics, a group focused on the intersection of art, code, and public involvement.
This planning and design project involves the use of consultant Toole Design Group in the creation of conceptual designs and feasibility analyses for 3 physical improvement projects along the Grand Junction Path to fill gaps in the path's current conceptual design. (1) An access path between Waverly Street and Fort Washington, including activation of open space at 171 Waverly Street. (2) An access path across the railroad tracks at Thorndike Street. (3) A connection between the Grand Junction Path and the Somerville Community Path at the Green Line Extension area.
Just-A-Start will use their planning and design grant to facilitate a community planning process to inform how the small vestibule space will be repurposed to meet a public need or amenity. Funding will support staffing, outreach, and facilitation of two community meetings to be held for residents of Churchill Court and the immediate neighborhood. This process would result in a plan to redevelop this space to offer a desirable service to those most likely to utilize it. Some possible uses of the space include a micro‑community library, indoor garden, fresh produce market, or art gallery.


Ángelo Rodriguez, left, playing with Colombia's Tolima in June of 2017.
Not even a full day into the secondary transfer window and Minnesota United already has signed its second player.
And this one is a designated player (DP), which means the team can pay him more than the salary cap limitations.
The club announced Tuesday it had signed Angelo Rodriguez as its second DP. The Colombian forward could join the squad as soon as next week and will be available to play once his visa and international transfer certificate clear.
The Loons' first DP, playmaker Darwin Quintero, has made a significant impact on the team's attack after joining the team in late March. Quintero earned the MLS player of the week honor Tuesday after his hat trick July 4 against Toronto. Rodriguez will look to have a similar effect.
The 29-year-old just won the 2018 Torneo Apertura league title with top-flight Colombian team Deportes Tolima, where he scored six goals in 1,259 minutes. Before his stint at Tolima starting in 2016, he played for seven other Colombian teams in either the first or second division since 2010.
At 5-11 and 176 pounds, Rodriguez is a "throwback center forward," as coach Adrian Heath called him. Rodriguez excels at the dying art of using power and strength to maintain his position, Heath said, especially when his back is to the goal.
United Sporting Director Manny Lagos said because Rodriguez has worked his way up the ranks of Colombian soccer, he will bring a lot of grit, toughness and leadership to the Loons, who struggle in those areas, especially on the road.
Rodriguez is Colombian like Quintero, and the Loons have added several players from the Central and South American region. That region, because it's more of a selling market than Europe, which mainly does business with fellow European teams, will continue to be a focus for the Loons, Lagos said.
"You kind of go where markets and resources you can afford a little bit," said Lagos, adding the club is still interested in other areas such as Europe, Africa and Asia. "If we continue to have more resources, more than likely, [Central and South America] become probably more of an ideal transfer market at times."
Lagos said United came across Rodriguez when scouting another player, presumably Nicolas Benedetti, whom the Loons failed to sign ahead of this season.
Rodriguez, Lagos said, had his pick of Colombian teams. Heath said about four or five MLS teams were interested in both Rodriguez and Romario Ibarra, United's other signing in this window.
Ibarra, who could join the Loons as soon as this week, is someone Heath has tabbed for 10 goals and 10 to 12 assists a year. Compared to Rodriguez, the 23-year-old brings a lot of promise for the future.
As far as this transfer window, which closes Aug. 8, Lagos said the next priority is a No. 6 defensive midfielder, a hole United has had to fill all season with Sam Cronin out for the "foreseeable future" because of concussion issues. Despite the position's importance, an addition might not come in the next month, Lagos said.
He also wants to give Maximiano a few more months to regain his form after rehabbing an ACL injury.
United might still have some domestic moves within MLS to make this window, though.
"Unless something really significantly shifted, which could happen, I don't think we'll be as active externally," Lagos said of adding a third and final designated player. "But I can't say that things won't come up internally."
And that is good news for Heath, whose priorities for adding depth were a little broader than Lagos'.
"All over," Heath said. "I can be as greedy as anybody."
Notes: Outside back Jerome Thiesson earned his green card, which freed up an international roster slot. Both Ibarra and Rodriguez require one.
Their addition could open up loan opportunities for players such as rookie Mason Toye. With several injuries to forward Abu Danladi this season, Toye has had to serve as the backup forward to Christian Ramirez, which has limited his potential development time.
Danladi returned to training Tuesday after a hamstring injury but is probably another week out from being full strength.
Center back Michael Boxall sat out of practice because of a slight groin injury in hopes he recovers in time for the Loons' match on Saturday against Real Salt Lake.

Agilent Technologies and Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology Collaborate on Neurometabolomics Research
Source: Agilent Technologies, Inc.
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) and the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology today announced a strategic collaboration with the opening of the DGIST's new Neurometabolomics Excellence Research Center. The center will use Agilent's bio-analytical instruments in its neurometabolomics research of biomarkers for early detection and diagnosis of brain diseases.
DGIST is one of Korea's foremost universities and research institutions.
Neurometabolomics is the set of biochemical reactions that rely on oxygen and glucose in order for the brain to perform its tasks. At the new center, scientists and researchers will analyze changes in the metabolic materials of brain cells and examine their impact on the body's physiological functions and behaviors.
The center, which opens today, will serve as a hub of shared expertise, including the research capabilities of the Johns Hopkins University Center for Metabolism and Obesity Research in the United States and major medical institutions and hospitals in Daegu.
'The Neurometabolomics Excellence Research Center will help sharpen South Korea's edge in brain science and allow DGIST to contribute significantly to world-leading research,' said the DGIST Research Center Director, professor Eun-Kyoung Kim. 'By working with Agilent, we can continue to spearhead developments and research in brain science.'
'The brain is arguably the most important organ in the human body, and Agilent supports the quest to help scientific and medical communities further neuroscience discovery for the good of mankind,' said Rod Minett, general manager of Agilent's life sciences business in South Korea and the South Asia Pacific region.
The center, located in Daegu, plans to conduct neurometabolomics research projects involving other fields of studies such as medicine, neurobiology, statistics, computer science and systems biology. There will be potential joint research with major educational and medical institutions elsewhere in South Korea, Singapore and Australia. The center will also train and develop scientists, researchers and chemists to fill the need for skilled talent in neuroscience research.
Agilent and DGIST have worked together since late 2012, with Agilent providing DGIST with early access to novel technology and software development for its research needs.

Tripadvisor's 10 best fine dining restaurants in the UK
Review site Tripadvisor has announced the winners of its Travellers' Choice Best of the Best Awards.
The order was based on a full year of Tripadvisor reviews, prior to the lockdowns imposed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
In its analysis, Tripadvisor found that North Yorkshire and Berkshire were the best-performing counties in this year's competition, with each boasting two winners in the UK fine dining list. However, no restaurants in London made the final list.
The review site has also compiled a list of the best restaurants in the world, based on its reviews, while top restaurants by country can also be viewed. There is also an 'everyday dining' category, celebrating the eateries that offer good quality food that doesn't break the bank.
Scroll down to the view the 10 winners in the UK fine dining category.
10. The Wildebeest, Norfolk
Fine dining restaurant The Wildebeest, located just outside Norwich, scored highly in this year's awards.

The West Hoathly eatery won back its Michelin star in 2015, after losing it in 2008.
7. The Three Chimneys, Isle of Skye
Set on the shores of Loch Dunvegan on the Isle of Skye, The Three Chimneys is a well-known destination restaurant and hotel.

Two Michelin-starred Restaurant Sat Bains has received numerous accolades over the years. Presided over by husband and wife Sat and Amanda Bains, the restaurant with rooms opened in 2002.

The restaurant will reopen again on 26 August.
4. Waterside Inn, Berkshire
The Waterside Inn in Bray, situated on the banks of the River Thames, is known for being the first restaurant outside France to obtain three Michelin stars. It remains the longest standing starred restaurant in the UK. Opened in 1972 by brothers Albert and the late Michel Roux, it is now in the hands of Michel's son Alain. Serving up classical French fare including a Challandais duck dish for two, it also boasts a highly-lauded cheese trolley.
3. L'Enclume, Cumbria
L'Enclume is Simon Rogan's flagship restaurant in the picture postcard Lake District village of Cartmel. The holder of two Michelin stars, the restaurant serves up an ever-changing seasonal menu with a large percentage of the ingredients sourced from Rogan's farm. Opened in 2002 in a former blacksmiths, the building's history gave the restaurant its name – enclume means anvil in French. The acclaimed dining destination serves its tasting menu at lunch and for dinner, and its fame even earned it a feature on BBC comedy The Trip, starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon.

Also based in the foodie hub of Bray in Berkshire, Heston Blumenthal's The Fat Duck remains a firm favourite. Opened in 1995, it soon acquired a reputation for molecular gastronomy and multi-sensory dining. The restaurant gained its first Michelin star in 1999, its second in 2002 and its third in 2004. Its playful dishes including its bacon and egg ice cream, snail porridge and mock turtle soup have gained worldwide fame.
1. The Black Swan at Oldstead, North Yorkshire
Tommy Banks' The Blank Swan was crowned the most popular fine dining destination in the UK this year by Tripadvisor. With over 1,300 'excellent' reviews, the Michelin-starred restaurant with rooms is a worthy winner. Due to reopen on 12 August, Banks has been offering food and cocktail boxes for nationwide delivery during lockdown. Known for its farm to fork philosophy and quirky cocktail and wine list, it offers just one tasting menu, which changes according to the seasons and ingredient availability.

Demonstrations against the war in Vietnam began even before the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964. By 1966, students were burning draft cards, and organized protests drew tens of thousands of people. A majority of Americans still supported the war, but as American casualties mounted, news of atrocities like the My Lai massacre became known, and victory seemed no nearer, protests grew larger. In 1970, when President Nixon announced that the U.S. would begin targeting supply lines and bases in Cambodia, college campuses exploded in protest.
Although the anti-war protests of the 1960s and 1970s are remembered today mainly as something young people participated in, people aged 18 to 29 actually were more likely to support the war than their elders, and college campuses were deeply divided on the issue. Protests in cities drew people of all ages and backgrounds. In 1966, a group of 100 veterans of previous wars tried to return their medals to the White House in protest of the war in Vietnam. Some protesters were pacifists who opposed all wars. Many believed that the United States had no business interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. Others were pushed to the anti-war movement by the failures of American policies.
This 1967 newsreel shows footage from a march on the Pentagon by protesters demonstrating against the Vietnam War. According to the film, about 50,000 people participated.
A demonstrator offers a flower to a military policeman, October 1967.
In October 1967, some 100,000 people attended a demonstration at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. At least 30,000, and perhaps 50,000, then marched to the Pentagon, where they remained all night and into the next day. Some demonstrators clashed with military police, and more than 600 were arrested. The newsreel above shows footage of the October 1967 protest. As you watch, consider the narrator's words, the images shown, and the music that accompanies the film.
Based on the narrator's words, was the crowd mostly peaceful or mostly violent?
According to the film, what percentage of demonstrators were arrested?
Based on the images in the film, does the crowd appear to have been mostly peaceful or mostly violent? If you watched the film with the sound off, or were deaf, what impression would you have of the demonstration?
How do the impressions made by the images, narration, music differ from one another? Which is most powerful? How accurately do they seem to portray the event?
How did the newsreels' creators intend viewers to think about the protesters?


Ghana Government Denies Victimizing Nigerians In Her Country.
The government of Ghana has ordered the reopening of all retail outlets and shops belonging to foreigners in the country, including Nigerians.
Nigerians in Ghana had protested the closure of their shops by government authorities and alleged victimization by the country's government, Naija News reports.
The minister of trade and industry, Alan Kyeremateng, who directed re-opening of the shops however, denied the reports that the government was victimising Nigerians.
He said, "There is no orchestrated action by government or any other state institutions targeted at Nigerian nationals or any particular foreign nationals," Kyeremateng said.
Although the minister did not give reasons for the initial closures but he explained that the decision to reopen the shops was influenced by extensive consultations with the national executive of the Ghana Union of Traders (GUTA).
The consultations were said to been held between the Ministry of National Security, Nigerian High Commission and other relevant agencies.
Kyeremateng maintained that foreign businesses were not at risk in the country, even as he affirmed that Ghana was globally acknowledged as a friendly nation.
"Ghanaians are internationally acknowledged as very hospitable and friendly, particularly to foreign nationals," he declared.
He assured foreign traders of government's willingness to assist them in regularising their businesses in the country.
Kyeremateng urged the trading community in Ghana, including foreign nationals, to avoid incidents that would mar the long-standing friendship between Ghana and other countries both on the continent of Africa and across the world.
