Poll – Favorite Yandere Anime Character?
The first in our Halloween themed posts!
Somewhere along the line, this list went from yandere characters to just psychopathic killers. There's a lot of semantics that goes into these character archetypes, and I really can't be bothered to make sure they're all exactly accurate. For yandere, that title kind of implies that the character has a dere side, which makes the character twice as frightening. That trait may or may not be seen in all of the characters below. Also, not all yandere are killers. Some of them are just really obsessive.
I definitely tried to give more leeway to male "yandere," since they're pretty rare by comparison. I mean, the entire cast of Higurashi could have easily filled the list. Looking back, the guys all kind of do have their dere sides. Accelerator has Last Order, Ladd has Lua, and Rolo has Lelouch. Though, Ladd wants to kill Lua so that's kind of up in the air.

The author of the Sigrun Ransomware is providing the decryption key to Russian victims for free, others have to pay a ransom of $2,500 worth of Bitcoin or Dash for the victims.
We have reported several cases where Russian malware authors avoid infecting computers in their country, but the case we are going to discuss is interesting too.
The author of the Sigrun Ransomware is providing the decryption key to Russian victims for free, while the malware demands the payment of a ransom of $2,500 worth of Bitcoin or Dash for the victims.
The case was first spotted by the malware researcher Alex Svirid, and other experts confirmed his discovery.
The Sigrun ransomware also avoids infecting Russian victims by detecting the keyboard layout, this behavior allows Russian vxers to avoid the response of local authorities.
When Sigrun ransomware is executed, it will first check "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Preload" to determine if it is set to the Russian layout. If the machine is using a Russian layout, it will not encrypt its files and delete itself.
Experts pointed out that the ransomware also infects users in the former USSR Republics because many of them don't use the Russian keyboard layout for political reason. For this reason, the authors of the Sigrun ransomware decided to provide for free the decryption key to Russian victims.
"Ukranian users don't use russian layout because of political reasons. So we decided to help them if they was infected," the Sigrun author told BleepingComputer via email.
"We have already added avoiding Ukrainian layout like was in Sage ransomware before." They also told us that the email images above are not from Sigrun but another ransomware.
Lawrence Abrams from BleepingComputer has spoken with the author of the malware that told him that he isn't from former USSR republics.
"Finally, the Sigrun developer told us that they are "not from former USSR republics. I added it because of my Belarus partners." added Abrams.
When Sigrun ransomware is executed on a computer, it will scan a computer for files to encrypt, when it encrypts a file it will append the .sigrun extension to the encrypted file's name. The malware creates two ransom notes named RESTORE-SIGRUN.txt and RESTORE-SIGRUN.html in each folder containing encrypted files.
Experts noticed that it doesn't encrypt files that match certain extensions, filenames, or that are located in particular folders.
The ransom notes include information on the infection and payment instructions.
"At this time, the Sigrun Ransomware cannot be decrypted for free unless you are a Russian victim and the author helps you," concluded Lawrence.
Further technical details, including IoCs, are reported in the analysis shared by BleepingComputer.


Connecticut is deep in the embrace of a historic blizzard as this show (taped the night before!) airs. So it offers pumped-up Cajun/Zydeco music to get listeners dancing (and warm) in their living rooms, love songs to warm their hearts and an enchanting set of Celtic music from multi-instrumentalists Karen Ashbrook and Paul Oorts of Maryland.
Of course, the show was also a nod to the coming Fat Tuesday Mardi Gras and Valentine's Day and the fact that Ashbrook and Oorts' debut at the Branford Folk Music Society Saturday night fell victim to Storm Nemo. The society said they are trying to reschedule the concert.

Q: iOS16 SwiftUI app crashes when trying to create view using loop I've defined a view in SwiftUI which takes an Int array and is supposed to display the elements of the array in a VStack such that every "full row" contains three elements of the array and then the last "row" contains the remainder of elements. When running the app on iOS16 I get "Fatal error: Can't remove first element from an empty collection" for the call let die = dice.removeFirst() (also when passing in a non-empty array of course). I've tried following the debugger but I don't understand the way it jumps around through the loops.
On iOS15 this code worked fine. In the actual program I don't display the array content as Text but I have images associated with each Int between 1 and 6 which I display. I replaced this with Text for simplicity's sake.
Thanks for any help!
struct DiceOnTableView: View {
    let diceArray: [Int]

    var body: some View {
        let fullRows: Int = diceArray.count / 3
        let diceInLastRow: Int = diceArray.count % 3
        var dice: [Int] = diceArray

        VStack {
            ForEach(0..<fullRows, id: \.self) { row in
                HStack {
                    ForEach(0..<3) { column in
                        let die = dice.removeFirst()
                        Text("\(die)")
                    }
                }
            }

            HStack {
                ForEach(0..<diceInLastRow, id: \.self) { column in
                    let die = dice.removeFirst()
                    Text("\(die)")
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

A: This does kind of work on iOS 15 (but strangely - the order of the dice is unexpected), and crashes on iOS 16.  In general, you should not be using vars in SwiftUI view building code.
Your code can be modified to compute the index into the original diceArray from the row, fullRows, and column values:
struct DiceOnTableView: View {
    let diceArray: [Int]

    var body: some View {
        let fullRows: Int = diceArray.count / 3
        let diceInLastRow: Int = diceArray.count % 3

        VStack {
            ForEach(0..<fullRows, id: \.self) { row in
                HStack {
                    ForEach(0..<3) { column in
                        Text("\(diceArray[row * 3 + column])")
                    }
                }
            }

            HStack {
                ForEach(0..<diceInLastRow, id: \.self) { column in
                    Text("\(diceArray[fullRows * 3 + column])")
                }
            }
        }

    }
}

A: The ForEach View will crash if you use it like a for loop with dynamic number of items. You need to supply it an array of item structs with ids, e.g. one that is Identifiable, e.g.
struct DiceItem: Identifable {
    let id = UUID()
    var number: Int
}

@State var diceItems: [DiceItem] = []

ForEach(diceItems) { diceItem in

And perhaps use a Grid instead of stacks.

Norway House Cree Nation Mission to Israel
by Rhonda Spivak, May 18, 2012,
After visiting Israel 2 years ago, Chief Ron Evans of Norway House "was inspired like never before. I saw the similarity between our two peoples, the struggles and the successes. I saw that with a dream – all things are possible, no matter the obstacle. I deeply want to share this experience with the young people of my home community." With that in mind, the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg's Shelley Faintuch began developing, in conjunction with the Jerusalem office of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, what would be the trip of a lifetime for 30 members of the Norway House Cree Nation. Among the participants were: Chief Evans and his wife Betsy, Youth Chief Tyler Duncan, Counselor Florence Duncan and Youth Counselors Spencer Chartrand and Alfred Laugher.
Norway House is a First Nations Cree Indian Reserve (Kinosao Sipi) and a community in Northern Manitoba of approximately 5,000-6,000 people. The community is located 456 km by air north of Winnipeg. It takes 8-9 hours to drive the 800 km from Winnipeg. And yet the mission participants had no qualms about travelling to Winnipeg to then travelling for over 20 hours, for some the first time ever outside of their community, to a land so far away from home. The purpose of the trip was to learn from others the lessons of self-determination, strength of pride in heritage and desire to make a better future happen. In other words, the chief wanted to help foster leadership ethics among the youth of this First Nations Community. Fundraising for the trip was conducted by participants and their community.
The mission combined opportunities for learning with fun, including social and teamwork activities – making for an exciting blend of the modern and ancient. Israel's 64-year history as a state, and a range of resulting social and political issues, were a part of the agenda. Through visits to Independence Hall in Tel Aviv, the Ethiopian absorption Centre in Mevasseret Tzion (with speaker Micha Feldmann) , and talks by Palestinian Human Rights director Bassem Eid, the Centre's Jerusalem Director David Weinberg, and Israel's Tourism Ministry's Uri Steinberg, participants got a glimpse of life in Israel and were able to explore various issues. Chief Evans took the opportunity to visit an Israeli greenhouse, for potential importing of Israeli technology and methods to his community.
An evening with Kav Hazinuk (The Starting Line) leadership development program in Israel's Galil region provided the Israeli perspective on managing social issues and leadership development. Visiting holy sites in the Galilee and in the Old City of Jerusalem were highlights for many, and "brought the Bible to life". Learning about the history of the Jews, the history of anti-Semitism, and the Holocaust through visits to Yad Vashem and the Atlit Detention Center taught participants how, despite diversity, Israel and the Jewish people have thrived. The pride in Jewish national heritage led one participant to comment: "We need to encourage our people to speak their language and learn their culture and history."
The group explored Israel's historical, religious, and national connection to the Land of Israel (the Western Wall, the wall tunnels, and archeological dig at Beit Guvrin), discussing similarities and differences between our peoples' aspirations and futures. One of the young leaders remarked in the post-mission evaluation: "I was so inspired by the hard-working nature of society" that she wanted to teach others how to "strive to work as hard as the Jews and encourage our youth to volunteer where needed."
"Seeing how much pride Israeli people have in their country makes me want to feel the same way about our community," said one young participant from Norway House. For mission leader Shelley Faintuch, "seeing Israel through the eyes of the participants not only filled me with pride but with wonder at how we have managed to come so far in such a short time."
As for the Chief, whose inspiration led to the launch of the mission, the trip was a huge success. "This was the trip of a lifetime, the learning experience that dreams are made of," he remarked. "We will enjoy observing the impact that this mission has had on the young leaders over the years to come."

On Sunday, we begin the season of Advent. We prepare our hearts and minds for Jesus' first coming among us at Bethlehem. This week's Gospel talks about Jesus' second coming at the end of the world. Jesus tells us not to fear but to wait in joy and hope for Jesus' return. The kindergartners and I visited the manger scene located on the side of the church in front of the statue of Mary. The kindergartners received an Advent calendar to help them wait and get ready for Jesus' birthday.
In math, we talked about using tally marks to count. I taught them a poem to help them. 1,2,3,4 Number 5 shuts the door. 6,7,8,9 Number 10 draws the line.
This week we talked about what a question is and words that asks a question. The kindergartners wrote a letter to Santa's elves because Santa is soooo busy. The kindergartners did not ask for presents but asked what happens at the North Pole with the reindeer, Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus. The kindergartners drew what they wanted to ask and your child and I helped them write their question. Their 8th grade partner helped them write the letter on a piece of paper and write and decorate an envelope.
On Thursday, Mrs Bray taught the kindergartners about Renoir and impressionism. The kindergartners painted trees and its reflection on the water.
On Friday, we visited famous people. The 8th grade researched a famous person, dressed up as that person and shared their contribution to the world. Pele, Mia Hamm (soccer), Bruce Lee, Mother Theresa, Michael Jackson and Michelle Obama were among the people we saw.
Next Week's Target Goals: I can follow PRISM.
Literacy: I can produce the initial (beginning) sound of a word. I can write the letters C and c. I can identify characters, setting and major events in a story.
Religion: I can show ways to care for others.
Math: I can use tally marks to count. I can add to 5.


Discussion in 'General Affiliate Marketing Forum' started by Linda Buquet, Oct 2, 2006.
Cookie Stuffing is one of my pet peaves. Can't believe I've not talked about it much here in the forum. Here's todays 5 Star blog to get some discussion rolling!
Cookie stuffing is NOT an acceptable practice and is prohibited by most affiliate programs. The affiliate that generates the END USER ACTION of a REAL CLICK is the affiliate that should get the commission. Rob Wood over at the Jamdo Blog confronts Brandon Hopkins of PayperClickIQ about the not-so-fine art of cookie stuffing. Brandon blogged about the benefits of cookie stuffing saying "many of the worlds best affiliate marketers know this dirty little secret." Rob does a great job of explaining why it's wrong.
Irresponsible Blogging from PayPerClickIQ: Cookie Stuffing "One big problem I had with Brandon?s blog was that he implies that cookie stuffing is some big ?super affiliate secret? and that all the big affiliates do it. Rubbish!
As somebody who has done fraud work for an affiliate network, I can tell you that the big affiliates HATE cookie stuffers and the biggest affiliates were usually the ones who would alert the network to cookie stuffers so that the network would terminate their membership."
I've encourage and initiated anti-cookie stuffing TOS for many of the programs I represent and as always believe the rightful affiliate is the only one that should get paid for sales.
What do you think about cookie stuffing?
Have you ever caught other affiliates stuffing cookies and stealing your commission?

The SOCKS firewall is a program that is capable of secured proxying, being compatible with various authentcation levels. However, as described in RFC 1928, there is currently only basic authentication. In this conspect, we will try to compose the SOCKS model for proper implementation of firewall architecture design for both current standard and further developing.
Figure 1 shows the hierarchy of SOCKS implementation. As can be seen, 'CSocks4' and 'CSocks5' inherit common connection-accept routines. The difference is how each type of firewall is proxying the incoming client request by virtual method 'CSocks::ForceConnection(u_int sock)'. To create multi-threaded applications using this class and maybe trace connections, the 'pNotifyProc' is defined; it is a pointer to the procedure of type u_int PSOCKSNOTIFYPROC(u_int sock). After the connection has come, the call traps to this procedure.
After client request has succeeded, the SOCKS firewall changes its state to the negotiation level using 'CSocks::SocksTCPTunneling' for TCP mode or 'CSocks::SocksUDPTunneling' for UDP-bound mode.
For this time, SOCKS firewall can be compatible only with the basic authentication level. However, it's possible to introduce additional SASL layer(s) (for instance, OpenSSL).
In demo below, we will create a multi-threaded SOCKS server using a trace map by programming a notification procedure map. This demo works on Linux/SCO/NetBSD and, of course, Win32.
Please tell me how run and what are the parameters i have to give to run this code. When I try to run this code it gives "TC: _ " in a doc prompt I don't know what to do.
http/https works fine, but ftp doesnt.
what is needed to make it wotk?
It's also relief to see that I'm not the only one who has to develop for other operating systems than Win32. Although this web site primarily targets Windows development, one should always have an open mind for other environments, too.
The first thing I was actually confused about is your usage of the term "Firewall". Yes, I know that the SOCKS protocol refers to that same term. A TCP- or UDP-Listener, that runs on one specific port and either transparently tunnels connections or implements a protocol (like SOCKS) for handshake, and then tunnels traffic, is a Proxy server. Ok, a Proxy server with authentication capabilities.
A firewall operates on lower OSI levels to intercept ANY package that comes to the server. With a firewall, I can deny any traffic on certain ports, while allowing other ports like 80, 22 and the like. But surely this is not possible to implement in a user mode application, and that's were all portability ends. On Windows, one would have to work on the NDIS layer, on Unix, maybe libpcap could help. I know that this wouldn't be a topic for CodeGuru; I just want to say that the term "Firewall" for a Proxy application is confusing. Nothing more.

Young Men Don't Waste Your Life
Far too many of our young men are wasting their lives away. They will get a girl pregnant and take no responsibility (of course the girl shares the blame as well). There are young men who have no interest in getting a job because they find it too convenient to stay home and live off the parents. And here is where parents share the blame. Some young men have no regard for the value of human life. They will grab a gun and battle over a few dollars or their so called interpretation of "respect." All day long they hang with their buddies in the streets, adding no value to the community; but certainly doing a great job making it look bad with their use of profanity, drinking, and loud music.
Such conduct is a total waste of a human life and an embarrassment for the parents that raised them (Proverbs 10:1). Young man, you don't have to waste your life away! You also don't need low-life people as friends. What you need is God. With Him you can learn the correct way to live and avoid the pit falls of life that have trapped so many (Ecclessiastes 12:1; Prov. 3:1-26, 4:20-27, 6:20-35, 7:1-27, 10:1). Young man, with the help of God, you can turn your back on wrong doing (Prov. 4:10-19; Titus 2:6-8; 2 Timothy 2:22; Prov. 1:10-19; Joshua 24:15; Prov. 13:1; Psalm 34:12-17; Phillipians 4:13). Feel free to make copies of this to pass on to some young man walking in darkness.
Hope to hear from you or see you at the services.

No, the ACC did not investigate 701 cases in 2018/19
The statements, information and/or data referenced in this article have been assessed and found to be false.
Martha Nangolo
Martha Nangolo is a researcher for Namibia Fact Check and a research associate of the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR)
Anti-Corruption Commission, Corruption, Prosecutor-General, SONA 2019
During his State of the Nation (SONA) speech in the National Assembly chamber on 17 April 2019, President Hage Geingob made the following statements:
"Furthermore, the Anti-Corruption Commission investigated 701 cases in 2018, of which 156 have been referred to the Prosecutor-General, with recommendation to prosecute. 49 of these have been finalized."
It is unclear where the President got these figures, but the important figures in this section of the SONA are the following:
701 cases investigated in 2018;
156 referred to the Prosecutor-General for a decision to prosecute;
49 prosecutions have been finalised.
What we found, courtesy of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), is:
59 cases were investigated in 2018/19;
45 cases had been referred to the Prosecutor-General for a decision to prosecute;

GREEN BAY – Crystal Siemers-Peterman of Cleveland, Wis. has been chosen as Wisconsin's 70th Alice in Dairyland. As Alice, Siemers- Peterman will work as a communications professional for the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP).
Her job will be to educate the public about the importance of agriculture in Wisconsin.
Siemers-Peterman found her passion for Wisconsin's diverse agricultural industry on her family's registered Holstein dairy farm. She was actively involved in the Manitowoc County Junior Holstein Association, Wisconsin Junior Holstein Association, and Manitowoc County 4-H. Through these organizations, she represented Wisconsin at national competitions in both dairy quiz bowl and dairy judging. She will graduate in May from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities with a major in agricultural and food business management and a minor in marketing. Previously, she interned at Sassy Cow Creamery, FLM+ Advertising Agency, and Land O'Lakes Inc. On campus she was involved in the National Agri-marketing Association, National Grocers Association, and Gopher Dairy Club.
Siemers-Peterman was selected at the culmination of three days of final interview events in Brown County. The events included agribusiness tours, speeches, a public question-and-answer session, and media interviews. The other candidates were: Abrielle Backhaus, Kewaskum; Jenna Crayton, Oak Creek; Alexis Dunnum, Westby; Kaitlyn Riley, Gays Mills; and Kelly Wilfert, Two Rivers.
Siemers-Peterman will start working as Alice on June 5. She succeeds 69th Alice in Dairyland Ann O'Leary of Evansville. As Alice, Siemers-Peterman will travel about 40,000 miles speaking at events and giving media interviews. She will present lessons in more than 100 Wisconsin classrooms in partnership with the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board.

Navy SEAL pleads guilty in Norfolk in hazing death of Green Beret

NORFOLK — A Navy SEAL has pleaded guilty to hazing and assault charges for his role in the 2017 strangulation death of a U.S. Army Green Beret in Africa.
Adam Matthews entered the plea at a court-martial hearing Thursday at Naval Station Norfolk.
Matthews is one of four U.S. service members who were charged with murder and other crimes in the hazing-related death of Army Staff Sgt. Logan Melgar, a Texas native.
"I can't describe how sorry I am for the death of Staff Sergeant Melgar," Matthews told the court. "I am truly sorry."
Military prosecutors agreed to drop the murder charge against Matthews, who agreed to testify against a fellow Navy SEAL and two Marines who were also charged in the incident.
In the first detailed public account of Melgar's death in Mali, Matthews said he had agreed to help the other three defendants haze Melgar over perceived slights against his fellow troops.
Among those slights, Matthews said, was an incident in which Melgar, while riding a motorcycle to a party at a diplomatic embassy in the capital city of Bamako, drove off from the two Marines following in another vehicle. Matthews suggested that the Marines felt Melgar had abandoned them in an urban setting that has been the target of terrorist activity.
Matthews described the incident as "just one of a number of performance and behavioral issues" with Melgar, who was perceived by fellow troops as not being a team player.
Matthews said the plans became "more juvenile" as he and the other three service members hung out at a restaurant discussing how to handle Melgar.
Matthews said that while Melgar was in his bedroom, he and the others broke down the door with a sledgehammer for "dramatic effect," then bound his wrists and ankles with duct tape. They planned to record the incident on video to embarrass Melgar in what Matthews described as a "known remediation," or hazing ritual within the special forces community.
At some point, Matthews said, the other Navy SEAL applied a chokehold to Melgar, who became unresponsive and was unable to be resuscitated.
Prior to the hearing, Matthews' attorney, Grover Baxley, said Melgar's death "was an unforeseen accident that has dramatically impacted the lives of everyone involved."

The work of human rights defenders in Rwanda is undermined by the authorities' claim that human rights defenders encourage 'genocidal ideology' and 'ethnic divisionism', playing on fears which are still prevalent following the 1994 genocide.
With elections due in 2017, the ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front appears to be entrenching its political dominance, and human rights defenders face the brunt of that effort. In July 2013, the leadership of LIPRODHOR, Rwanda's last remaining independent human rights organisation was effectively forced out and replaced by an executive committee favoured by the government and supported by the Rwanda Governance Board (RGB) –the state body with oversight on NGOs despite the fact that the ousted leadership protested against this move.
Human rights defenders face harassment, intimidation, arbitrary arrest and unfair trials, while laws for the prevention of ethnic division and hatred are abused to restrict freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. Especially vulnerable are corporate accountability and environmental rights defenders, who are frequently accused of being anti-development and risk threats of violence, intimidation and the closure of their organisations.
