Over the course of 130 days Hamas' terror kites have destroyed over 7,413 acres in southern Israel. 1,364 fires were caused by the terror groups' flaming kites/balloons causing 2-3 million dollars worth of damage by arson attacks and forcing over 1,832 people to be treated for trauma.
The March of Return protests in Gaza are inherently violent. In the 77 days of destruction thus far, protesters have launched between 70-80 exploding kites per week, ultimately creating 412 blazes in Israel. This has caused significant amounts of damage in Israel. This is not a peaceful protest.
Protesters at Hamas' Great March of Return have faked injuries that were then reported as legitimate in the press. Footage of one incident shows protesters carrying a man on a stretcher who appears to have sustained an injury. Once the group is out of sight of the media, the stretcher is placed on the ground. The man then stands up and walks away as if nothing ever happened.

Rotterdam to celebrate \"Summer of Architecture\"
With events ranging from exhibitions, field trips, special tours and overnight stays at an architect's home, the city of Rotterdam will be highlighting and celebrating its architectural heritage and future during the upcoming sixth International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam, to be held from 29 May to 24 August 2014. This year's Biennale theme will be URBAN BY NATURE.
Given that there are more trees to be found in parks and nurseries these days than in the world's rainforests and with more than half the global population living in urban areas, cities have effectively become our natural environment. This insight has led to a different take on the relationship between cities and nature, and to the conclusion that those looking to solve our environmental issues need to start in the city. The programme for IABR 2014 was conceived by landscape architect Dirk Sijmons.
The central hub of this year's event will be Kunsthal Rotterdam, where guests can visit the main IABR exhibition from 29 May to 24 August. The Pure Veerkracht ['Pure Resilience'] exhibition to be held at the adjacent Rotterdam Museum of Natural History [Natuurhistorisch Museum Rotterdam] sets out to demonstrate that cities are themselves also part of the natural world. The joint ticket allows entry to both museums. The price of a regular ticket is €11 – this is the regular Kunsthal admission price. Museumkaart [Annual Museum Pass] holders only pay a €5 surcharge for IABR admission.
Symposiums, debates, event and field trips
The IABR will be covering a full range of architectural theory and practice in its events, with a varied programme including lectures, debates and symposiums. Many of these events are publicly available and aimed at professionals in the field, while other events aim to attract a more general audience with a personal interest in the Biennale themes (including underground routes and field trips to the Maasvlakte industrial estate and the Port of Rotterdam). Full event listings will be available on the IABR website from
mid-April.
Staying overnight with an architect in 'Wake Up in Architecture'
For the first time this year, the successful 'Wake Up in It' initiative – which offers overnight stays at the homes of artists during festivals – will provide visitors with the opportunity to stay overnight at an architect's home over a weekend. What makes the event even more exciting is that the architect's name and address will only be revealed after the guest has registered. The cost of an overnight stay is €60 for one guest and €100 for two guests, including breakfast, Dutch VAT and tourist tax.
ZigZagCity
This is the second time the ZigZagCity architecture festival will be marking the start of the IABR. Held from 29 May to 9 June, ZigZagCity will take you on a fascinating journey right through Rotterdam, inviting you to look at the city through different eyes. Visitors get to embark on a tour of the historic Laurenskwartier district, taking them from Luchtsingel to the world-famous Cube Houses and the Blaakse Bos building complex.
1:1 Model of a house
This summer Bjarne Mastenbroek and his office SeARCH will design a temporary house on the site between Het Nieuwe Instituut and Sonneveld House. Mastenbroek describes his design as a 'Yourtopia' and a response to social themes such as globalisation, the invasion of privacy, and the unbalance in the division of wealth. Such developments force architecture to carry out a fundamental 'reset'.
The house, which can be visited from 29 May till 28 September therefore returns to the basis: what is the minimum we need to enjoy the maximum quality of life?
The project by Mastenbroek is the first in a series of follies that Het Nieuwe Instituut will commission in the coming years as part of its long-term programme entitled Landscape and Interior. Every two years during the IABR, a Dutch architect, designer or theorist will be invited to design a model house.
Other Rotterdam highlights:
Dakpark [Roof Park]:
The dakpark [roof park] is Europe's largest public park located on a shopping boulevard and the largest 'green' roof to be found in Rotterdam. Measuring 1,200 metres in length and 85 metres in width, the park consists of a Mediterranean garden, a playground and a communal garden maintained by residents.
The Bobbing Forest:
Artist Jorge Bakker has created the \'In Search Of Habitus\' installation. It comprises a water-filled aquarium with bobbers containing scale model trees. Art producer Mothership is realising the concept in a life-size installation at the former city port Rijnhaven.
Water Square Benthemplein:
The unique water retention square helps the Rotterdam Agniesebuurt to keep its feet dry during heavy rainfall. When necessary, the square can retain nearly two million litres of water. When the weather is dry, the square proves the local residents' and students' input: the square can host a number of activities in sports, theatre and relaxation.

Bhopal: A Bhopal court on Thursday sentenced 17 activists of outlawed Students Islamic Movement of India to three years in jail for hurting religious feelings and committing other penal offences.
Chief Judicial Magistrate Rakesh Sharma also imposed a fine of Rs 1,000 each on convicts Abu Faizal, Majid Nagauri, Sajid alias Guddu, Irfan Nagauri, Umair Sadique, Mohammad Adil, Khalid Ahmad, Abdul Wahid, Javed Nagauri, Abdul Aziz, Zubair Israr, Ahmad, Mohammad Habib, Mohammad Sajid, Aqueel, Rafique and Abdullah.
They were convicted of various penal offences including those for committing deliberate and malicious acts to outrage religious feelings and making imputations and assertions prejudicial to the national integration.
The sentence was pronounced via video-conferencing.
The accused had raised controversial slogans in the Bhopal district court's premises on 17 May, 2014.
According to the prosecution, they shouted slogans like "Taliban Zindabad, Islam Zindabad, Pakistan Zindabad, Allahu Akbar, from Palestine to Afghanistan and Pakistan, our rule will come, we have been sent by Allah for this purpose."
Besides, they shouted, "Ab Modi ki bari hai" (Now, it's Modi's turn) apparently referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said the prosecution.
The 17 SIMI activists are lodged in Bhopal Central Jail and are being tried in different cases for the last couple of years.


We run workshops and facilitate meetings to support groups and organisations working for social and environmental justice to develop resilience and be more effective.
We customise each workshop to the needs and priorities of the group we're working with. If you don't see anything here that fits what you need, please get in touch with us and we'll see if we can tailor something for you. If we can't help then we'll be happy to signpost you to other trainers and facilitators.
Developing a strategy can help you get to grips with the issues you're facing, and get clear how you can win your campaign or run a great project. We aim to help you narrow down bigger picture problems into more manageable parts and use creative tools to help you learn skills for strategy and develop a birds-eye view on the future of your group.
To sustain your work for social change it's important to feel empowered, nourished and creative. This workshop is an opportunity to take stock, learn from your experiences, and build resilience. We will help you reflect on the viability and sustainability of the ways that you work personally and in your group. Our workshop will help you develop strategies and practices that will support your wellbeing and help your groups and communities thrive and become resilient for the long haul.
When a group of individuals takes the time to listen to each other's ideas and preferences, and work out a way forward that everyone can live with, the group grows stronger, makes high-quality decisions, and becomes more effective. Our workshops emphasise the values, attitudes and behaviours that are needed to support effective collaborative decision making. One decision making model that we know a lot about is consensus decision making. And if consensus isn't the best method for your group, we can help you learn about other collaborative decision-making tools.
When meetings are effective, people listen to each other, there's space for everyone to participate, and the group moves forward with decisions and plans. Facilitation is about making it easy for everyone to participate, and helping the group move forward with it's task. In this workshop you'll learn to facilitate effective and fun meetings, and you'll build your own tool-box of skills and tools. We can also help you feel better equipped to facilitate difficult meetings, or when tensions are running high. You'll leave the workshop feeling more confident to step into the role of facilitator.
The term 'power dynamics' refers to the ever-changing power relationship between people in a group. It explains how some people have a lot of influence over a group without realising it, and how some people feel they have to adapt their behaviour in order to be accepted by the group. Working on your power dynamics together can help more people feel empowered, it can help the group grow stronger and be more effective, and it can give you a shared language to talk about how power flows between you.
Conflict in a group can be intensely painful, but it can also offer an opportunity for growth and change. Opening up a space to explore conflict can help you learn about each other's perspectives and find a way through that works for everyone, so the group can get stronger, more resilient and in turn be more effective. We can support you to explore ways of engaging with conflict in honest and useful ways, and become more confident to support your own group through conflict. We can help you to learn ways of communicating in conflict situations; train you in mediation; and support your group to develop your own process for handling conflict.
If you or your group want to run your own workshop, we can help you develop the skills and confidence to design and facilitate engaging, experiential and fun workshops. We'll share ideas about how people learn, and some tips of the trade that we've picked up over the years. You'll apply all this to design your own workshop session, practice facilitating, and receive feedback from peers.

Slain Hassidic Millionaire to Be Buried in J'lem
Community mourns 'true person of kindness', as murder investigation focuses on his business associates: 'He had enemies'.
Arutz Sheva Staff
Murder Har HaMenuchot NYC Har Hamenuchot Cemetery
Murder victim Menachem Stark Courtesy of the family
Hundreds of people attended the funeral of Hassidic millionaire Menachem Stark, hy"d, in New York Saturday night, after his badly burned body was found in a dumpster on Friday.
Stark's body will now be buried in Jerusalem, in the cemetery on Har HaMenuchot. He leaves behind 8 orphans.
Friends revealed to Arutz Sheva by telephone that "immense mourning" has settled over Stark's Satmar Hassidic community.
"We are talking here about a great man, a great scholar, a true person of kindness," friends stated. "We will help his family cope with this great tragedy."
Family members also cited Stark's righteousness to the New York Daily News, explaining that he gave a lot of tzedakah (charity) and that "he never wronged anybody."
Police are now focusing on Stark's business associates as possible murder suspects.
"We knew from (Friday) it could end this way," a police source stated. "When you look at his business dealings, you see a lot of red flags. Obviously he had many enemies."
Investigators also stated that they believe that Stark may have been running a foreclosure scheme - buying foreclosed properties at low prices and then selling them to his own associates at highly reduced rates, according to the Daily News.
Stark was reportedly sued in 2011 over a $29 million loan that financed a 74-unit residential rental building at 100 South 4th Street in south Williamsburg, TheReal Deal reported. Family members acknowledged that Stark was involved in several large real estate deals, but said the family knows of no bad blood that could have sparked the kidnapping.
Earlier, Stark's relatives offered to pay a $100,000 reward for his safe return, no questions asked, after he was kidnapped outside his Brooklyn office Thursday night..A gas station employee in Great Neck discovered the body around 4 p.m., Friday, and alerted Nassau County Police.
DNAinfo New York reported that Stark left his office at 331 Rutledge Street at 11:20 p.m. Thursday and was walking to his home a few blocks away when two men grabbed him, and drove him away in a white or light-colored minivan, according to a flyer put out by Shomrim, a neighborhood watch group for the Orthodox community. Security video shows Stark being pulled into the van.
Stark's wife, Bashie, became worried when he did not come home before midnight and notified the neighborhood patrol, the NYPD said. Shomrim alerted police at 2:30 a.m. on Friday.
NYPD investigators canvassed Rutledge Street on Friday morning, pulling security footage from multiple security cameras and speaking to local business owners. The search continued into the Sabbath, and Jewish volunteers took part in it with rabbinical permission, reported the Jewish Daily Forward.
Police sources told the Daily News that Stark was carrying $4,000 in cash at the time of the alleged kidnapping.

Iowa Cat Got Pandemic Flu Bug From Owners
Written by Daniel J. DeNoon
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD on November 05, 2009
Nov. 5, 2009 - A sick Iowa pet is the latest evidence that cats can carry the H1N1 swine flu virus.
The pandemic flu bug was detected in a sick, 13-year-old Iowa cat after two members of the family that owns the cat fell ill, the Iowa Department of Health reported yesterday.
The cat -- and both humans -- recovered from their illnesses.
"It's not unexpected news ... we know that influenza viruses can be transmitted between humans and animals," CDC spokesman Tom Skinner tells WebMD.
The Iowa cat was taken to the veterinary college at Iowa State University, where tests of a nasal swab confirmed the cat was infected with the H1N1 swine flu virus.
"Just because the virus was found in a sick cat doesn't mean the virus was the cause of the cat's illness," Atlanta veterinarian Megan Hilf, VMD, tells WebMD.
Even so, the CDC warns people with flu-like symptoms to avoid giving the virus to their best friends.
"If people are sick and have pets and they are concerned, then we suggest they follow the same steps we tell them to follow when it comes to preventing spread to other humans: Cover coughs and sneezes, frequently wash your hands, and try to distance yourself from your pet until you have been without fever for 24 hours without use of fever-reducing medicine," Skinner says.
Can cats carry H1N1 swine flu and transmit it to people or to other pets? Maybe, says Drew Weigner, DVM, a feline specialist in Atlanta.
"There is currently no evidence that cats can transmit H1N1 to people," Weigner tells WebMD. "While there is currently no evidence that cats can transmit H1N1 to cats or other pets, it would not be surprising to find transmission from one cat to another -- but this is not yet known to have occurred."
Cats do readily become infected with another worrisome flu bug -- the deadly H5N1 bird flu. Fortunately, that killer virus has not become widespread in either cats or humans. And the H5N1 virus is very different from the H1N1 swine flu virus.
In fact, Weigner says, cats rarely get infected with any kind of flu virus.
"What is often referred to as 'cat flu' is actually a syndrome describing an upper respiratory infection with several different viruses such as herpesvirus and calicivirus," he says.
A 2007 study of blood samples collected from 1999 to 2005 from 60 domestic and 51 free-roaming cats in and around Milan, Italy, showed no indication that any of the animals had ever been infected with any flu virus.
But if a cat does get a human flu bug, what symptoms would it have?
"Since only one cat has been confirmed to be infected with H1N1, it remains to be seen how this virus affects cats," Weigner says. "One would expect infected cats to have a fever and upper respiratory symptoms including sneezing and eye or nasal discharge. The most important point is that any cat exhibiting signs of illness should be examined by your veterinarian as soon as possible."
Weigner and Skinner note that other animals have picked up H1N1 swine flu from humans, including pigs, birds, and ferrets. H1N1 swine flu is a human virus not known to be circulating in pigs.
The diagnosis of swine flu infection in the Iowa cat was a collaboration between the Iowa Department of Public Health; Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine; the Center for Advanced Host Defenses, Immunobiotics, and Translational Comparative Medicine, the U.S. Department of Agriculture; and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Lands Stewardship Animal Industry Bureau.

The Titanic Twins, an interpretation of the most prominent painting on board Titanic when she sank, by the famous artist Norman Wilkinson are progressing well, still a long way to go.
The plan is to make them as close as possible to the original.
"To the last wave top and sea gull" my client has requested.
One for my client, one for a lucky collector.
No fair copy exists to it's on with the Sherlock Holmes hat.
Fortunately I sailed from and lived around Plymouth for 25 years. I am very familiar with the work of Norman Wilkinson, he entered my life as far back as my Art history 'A' level and even further back because my Father took me to The Imperial War Museum and National Maritime museum, London.
"Plymouth Harbour" more correctly called Plymouth Sound, is progressing I hope you agree, well.
This despite my having numerous painting time wasting set backs in the past few weeks, including an unreliable car forcing me to postpone a sortie to England, now re booked in a shortened version, ill health and a heap of problems caused by Brexit.
Overall I feel I've aged 10 years in the past 5 months!
Never mind, I'm on course and setting more sails.

I had no Idea it would be so... PASSIONATE! He came in, opened her blouse and lifted her skirt He then laid her down as he opened his shirt and unzipped. I caught a brief glimpse of just how... BIG he is before he lay down onto of my wife!
Her body shuddered as he entered her.... and he moved so gracefully as she responded... He kept whispering to her as she wrapped him up in his tie, not wanting to let him go! Their breath was heavy as their bodies moved with each other!

Petition against racist land distribution
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel 9 September 2003
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel submitted a petition yesterday to the Supreme Court against the Israel Lands Authority (ILA), The Jewish Agency, and the community of Katzir as a result of those agencies' persistent refusal to implement the original ruling of the Supreme Court prohibiting discrimination between Arabs and Jews in the distribution of land. The petition was submitted on the 8th of March 2000 in the name of Iman and Adal Ka'adan, whose request to purchase a plot of land in Katzir was refused by the afore-mentioned bodies. The Supreme Court ruled that the State contravened the law in its allocation of state land to the Jewish Agency to establish the residential community of Katzir, which was based on a discriminatory policy of differentiating between Jews and non-Jews. Despite the fact that three and a half years have passed since the Court's ruling, the couple is still waiting for a plot of land. In fact the ILA, the Jewish Agency, and Katzir are doing everything they can to prevent the implementation of the court ruling. The petition was submitted by ACRI's Chief Legal Counsel Attorney Dan Yakir.
The petition asks the Supreme Court to force the ILA to fulfill its legal obligation and allow the couple to purchase a plot of land in the Katzir residential community for the market rate that existed in April 1995, the date the Ka'adan family first requested to purchase the land. Likewise the petition asks the court to order an interim injunction to prohibit the allocation of any rights to the specific plots situated on the community's western hill where the Ka'adan family initially wanted to build their house. This prohibition should remain in force until the hearing on the petition is completed and thus prevent a situation in which facts are created on the ground to block the family's legal rights. It should be noted that the Supreme Court issued an identical interim injunction when the first petition was submitted. The petition also asks the court to schedule the earliest possible date for the hearing so that the matter can be resolved quickly as the family has already suffered unreasonable delays.
The attempts by official agencies to block the family's land purchase is exemplified by an internal Jewish Agency document that states categorically that the agency carefully formulated a policy with the aim of rendering the court ruling meaningless. After the agency investigated different modes of action, it stated that "the most effective policy would be: not to make any ripples in the system but to carry on with what we have been doing thus far". In other words, to undertake the deliberate policy of unnecessary delays whose aim is to wear down the petitioners to the point that they will eventually just give up. By so doing, the agency replaced the more obvious discriminatory agenda with a more insidious one that is harder to detect.
This policy of deliberate delays and excuses continued until the court asked for an explanation, and suggested that the couple apply to the residential community's Admissions Committee. This was after representatives of the community agreed to review the Ka'adan's candidacy without prejudice, without taking into account the couple's religion or national origin. Despite their reservations, the couple agreed to appear before the committee who, it seemed, had the sole purpose of rejecting the couple's application and circumventing the court's decision. This fact was reiterated by the local council head and a number of residents who are quoted in the body of the petition exposing their clearly negative attitudes toward the Arab population. An example of this is a statement made in numerous radio interviews by Dubi Standrov, the current head of the Katzir-Harish local council, and the previous chairman of Katzir's local council, that Adal Ka'adan is politically motivated. He went on to say that he wouldn't be surprised if it became clear that the couple's court case was financed by Saudi and Iranian sources, and even added that he was actively engaged in an attempt to "block Arab settlement in the council's settlements".
Despite this, the couple still applied to the Admissions Committee. It is important to note that the Supreme Court emphasized for the community's representatives that this was a non-problematic family whose rejection demanded a much clearer justification. After further delays, the couple was formally rejected with the vague statement that it would be difficult for them to integrate socially. The Court is still waiting for both the full explanation of the decision and the protocols of the meeting. Even the scheduled meeting of an ILA Valuation Committee, that was due to convene in March 2002, has still not taken place.
Attorney Yakir states in the petition, that the Ka'adan family must be allowed to build their home in the Katzir residential community as they wish and in accordance with the Supreme Court ruling. He further states that the ILA should ignore the decision of the Admissions Committee due to the faulty decision making process. The decision was made in an atmosphere that was clearly hostile to the concept of opening up the community to the Arab population, and in the shadow of frantic activities on the part of the Katzir leadership to block the family's attempt to purchase land, and the scathing attacks by this same leadership against the family in the media. In addition, since the appearance of the Ka'adan family before the Admissions Committee, the ILA has done away with admissions committees for communities numbering over 300 families, of which Katzir is one. This new policy renders Katzir's Admission Committee's decision irrelevant.

North America is responsible for over 46% of the market when it comes to casino revenue. As the clear leader, it is important for U.S. casinos to look to international trends when developing progressive strategies to build on existing success and continue to attract international customers. While many of the trends that are affecting the international market are also occurring in the U.S., there are a few worth noting and taking into account in 2018 and beyond.
You may be surprised to learn that casinos around the world still rely heavily on direct mail marketing. It is still by far the most popular marketing tool despite a whole host of digital options. Moving forward, casinos are looking to adopt more technology-based techniques and optimize social media and mobile advertising.
The real challenge here is to serve ads in a way that feels personal without being intrusive. Younger demographics are used to constantly being barraged with online ads, which means that they have become desensitized and don't have a problem simply skimming over ads. Casinos are going to have to develop high quality content that is both informative and entertaining in order to grab the attention of their target audience.
Not only are casinos looking to win over Millennials with new marketing strategies, they are also changing the landscape of their casino floors to attract more customers from this age group. This goes beyond incorporating new types of games and includes re-purposing underutilized space with more intimate lounges and speakeasy type bars that reflect the tastes of younger gamblers.
While brick and mortar casino locations are still by far the largest source of revenue, there is an increasing demand for online gambling. Countries who do allow online gambling are raking in all the money from this profitable form of betting. The U.S., in particular, has been especially strict about regulating online gambling. As it stands now, only a few states permit this form of gambling and only residents of that state are allowed to participate. However, as the international online gambling market continues to grow, the federal government may feel more pressure from casinos to loosen restrictions. It will be interesting to see how the U.S. continues to handle this trend.
In the United States, we are used to large gambling meccas like Las Vegas and Atlantic City. A visit to one of these cities is meant to provide an immersive experience that includes fine dining, entertainment and superior accommodations. Hotels are built to serve the casinos and act as an additional, luxurious draw to consumers. All the glitz and glamour is part of the bigger experience.
This same approach to attracting customers has been used around the world, but there is now a noticeable shift towards smaller scale gambling operations. Instead of making the casino the destination, companies are bringing gambling to existing destinations. For example, there are more slot machines and games showing up in hotel lobbies, bars and restaurants. Casinos aren't as concerned about bringing customers to them as they are about meeting customers where they already are.
Continuing this trend in the U.S. is problematic because of gambling regulations, but again, it is a trend worth watching. U.S. companies may want to start exploring new ways to partner up with the hospitality industry.
It should come as no surprise that more interactive games that allow you to play with and against your friends are also gaining popularity across the globe. Technology has the power to make us feel more isolated, but it can also help us connect and turn gambling into a more social activity. Apparently, a trend towards more social experiences is one that crosses all borders and will continue to be important on an international level.
There are also some big things happening in the U.S. that may be of interest to foreign casino companies also looking to stay competitive. While the presence of technology is becoming more visible on the gaming floor, it is also being used to address management challenges and streamline many of the complicated processes that keep casinos running.
For instance, Casino Schedule Ease (CSE) is a software program that helps managers to easily schedule employees and maximize performance. Just imagine the balancing act required to make sure that all the tables are covered over a 24-hour period by an employee who has the skills and experience to expertly run each game. Not to mention all the unexpected variables that can pop-up during the day, including unscheduled absences.
Casino Schedule Ease allows employees to log into a centralized dashboard and put in requests for vacation time and let managers know what days and times they prefer to work. Mangers can use the software to create an ideal schedule that takes into account the needs of the casino and preferences of individual workers. CSE even provides a visual representation of the casino floor to help managers create a clear picture of who will be placed where.
This type of management and scheduling software is allowing casinos to run more efficiently and provide both employees and guests with a better experience. As a result, casinos enjoy more repeat business and are able to reduce operational costs. Moving forward CSE and other software will increasingly become invaluable tools that allow large scale casinos to better manage daily challenges. International casinos may want to take note of this growing trend as they continue to look for ways to increase revenue and stay competitive.
It would be a mistake for casinos to ignore what is happening across the globe in the gambling industry. Even though the U.S. owns the largest share of the market, being the leader can often result in complacency. Taking a larger view of the market can help identify emerging trends and help casinos position themselves for ongoing success. On that same note, international casinos may want to take a look at how major U.S. companies are using technology and software, like Casino Schedule Ease, to improve performance and increase revenue.

Boys' tennis defeated by number one seed Blake in Sections
Team reflects on Sections, shortened season
Junior Isaac Swartz hits a forehand shot in preparation for sections. The team won against Apple Valley 4-3, then lost to Blake 0-7.

After clinching a 4-3 home win against Apple Valley May 16, the boys' tennis team was swept 0-7 against number one seed in the conference, Blake, according to head coach David Britenbucher. Britenbucher said while the season went well, the most important issue is recruiting players for the future.
"It's hard to be disappointed about how things went. The biggest thing is numbers, we need numbers," Britenbucher said. "We had nine guys on JV this year when they were full. Ideally I'd like to get twelve on JV, 12-13 on Varsity and get the numbers back up to the mid-20s."
Senior captain Adam Johnson said the team enjoyed turning the tables on Apple Valley after losing to them in Sections the previous year.
"Last year we played Apple Valley away and lost by a close score, so it was great this year to reverse that and take the win in a dramatic fashion this year," Johnson said.
Senior varsity player Collin Perkins said the close match made for an exhilarating victory.
"(The Apple Valley match) went great honestly. It was really tight, but Sam Birnberg and I won the winning game to get to move on, so that was really exciting," Perkins said.
Reflecting on the Apple Valley match, senior captain Sam Birnberg said it was one of his favorite memories of the season. According to Birnberg, the team was up 3-1, and after witnessing some questionable calls and some close games, the score was tied 3-3.
"We felt Apple Valley was not playing as clean. In my match my doubles partner, Collin Perkins and I ended up splitting sets, and so it came down to the last set for us," Birnberg said. "Everyone was watching, the pressure was high, the season was on the line, and we ended up winning. To have that moment was awesome, definitely a memorable part of the season."
According to Perkins, the team anticipated the loss against Blake, the number one team in the state. Perkins said for him all his preparation and practice culminated in these final matches.
"Apple Valley was a highlight — it was a really big moment for the team. It was so close. Our season was about to be over but then we got to move on, we really got through the struggle and bonded as a team over that match," Perkins said. "Probably one of the best tennis moments I've had over my high school career. We were totally expecting (the later loss against Blake), we tried our best and had a little fun with it too since it's many senior players' last match."
Johnson said overall the condensed season caused multiple problems for the team throughout the early season, but players are still looking for more opportunities to compete.
"The season was much shorter and condensed then I had expected, the snow and everything made it a lot more difficult," Johnson said. "We had a lot more matches canceled this year, which was unfortunate, but a lot of guys are still looking forward to the individual's tournament."
According to Britenbucher, two singles players and two doubles teams will play in the upcoming individual tournament May 24, also run by the State High School League.
"Now you get the individual stuff. Adam Johnson and Haim Lyubeznik will play singles at one and two, Rafe Coven and Sam Wolden will play one doubles, and Joseph Tirado and Gerald Perelman will play the other doubles," Britenbucher said. "It's single elimination, they crown a singles champion for the state."
Johnson said he urges any new players with an interest in joining the team next year to give it a shot.
"I would really encourage anyone to come out for the team, this year we're losing nine seniors, so come see what the team is about and give it a chance," Johnson said.

#ThreatThursday | 21st May 2020 | Cyber Security Updates
What's happened in the last seven days of cyber security slip-ups, viral vindictiveness and data disasters? Threat Thursday has the answers
This week; a data breach brings EasyJet down to Earth, while a malware campaign brings two threat groups together in harmony.
QueasyJet: Colossal Data Breach is No Plane Sailing for Discount Airline
Everyone's favourite tangerine provider of discount holiday packages has suffered a bumpy landing. EasyJet confirmed earlier that this week that 9million – yes, that many – customers were affected by a companywide data breach, with 2,208 of those victims also having their personal payment details .
EasyJet became aware of the attack in January, but is only now coming forward with the details after confirming the scale of the breach. In a statement to the BBC, Easyjet said: "It took time to understand the scope of the attack and to identify who had been impacted… We could only inform people once the investigation had progressed enough that we were able to identify whether any individuals have been affected, then who had been impacted and what information had been accessed."
According to an EasyJet spokesperson, the attacks were carried out by a "highly sophisticated attacker", warning that anybody who has ever purchased an EasyJet flight will now need to be extra vigilant against the threat of phishing attempts. That's…. not exactly a narrow demographic.
While it has been suggested that the attack was likely targeting EasyJet's internal systems and not necessarily its customers, they've now nonetheless became a high-profile casualty of this attack. A spokesperson for the Information Commissioner's Office concurs, advising "… to be cautious of any communications purporting to come from EasyJet or EasyJet Holidays".
This is no small breach, not least now, with any previous EasyJet customer now a potential victim. There's also the worrying precedent set by the last airline to suffer a colossal data breach, British Airways. An ICO investigation in 2019 found their cyber security provisions lacking, and a historic £183.39 million GDPR fine was among one of the UK's first and largest. If EasyJet's attacker was as sophisticated as they claim, the company may not be at fault; but historically, it seems not even billion-pound airlines have their cyber security perfected.
If it Locks like a Bot, and Qaks like a Bot….
The Qakbot banking trojan, infamous for its sophistication and advanced detection-avoiding abilities, has teamed up with the burgeoning new ransomware ProLock to become a force of misery.
ProLock rose to prominence in the cyber crime world in April, following its successful breach of retail tech company Diebold Nixdorf. While ProLock targets poorly protected Remote Desktop Protocols to initiate the deployment of its ransomware, the Qakbot trojan leverages Emotet and phishing campaigns (like every other malware in existence, apparently) as part of its credential stealing M.O.
Combined, of course, the two have some pretty nasty capabilities. Sneaking onto unsecure networks, pilfering data unnoticed, and extorting the victim for a cash settlement long after making off with the goods is just one likely tactic.
A security alert by the FBI and an analysis by Group IB first reported this troubling development earlier in the week, detailing further attacks on healthcare facilities, government departments, the retail sector and further fintech industries. Furthermore, they report that it's highly unlikely that any ransom payments will ensure the safety of their data; ProLock's decryptor routinely fails to decrypt their compromised data.
Those in the affected industries are advised to familiarise themselves with the signs of phishing emails – and dump said emails straight into the virtual trash. As always, treat any unexpected emails with suspicion, and take an extra-cautious look at the sender's details; is that domain address really as legit as it seems?
Of course, this isn't the first time two successful malware strains have leapt into bed with one another. Maze and Ryuk were getting all chummy-chummy earlier this year, and these coordinated, tag-team attacks are likely to become more common in the world of cyber crime going forward. The real question, however, is which duo will be the first to have a falling-out, and initiate brutal viral warfare against one another? I'll grab the popcorn.
Netwalker now Fileless as Well as Paperless
The Netwalker ransomware is adopting a growing and frustrating approach to digital infiltration by utilising 'fileless threats'.
Unlike typical infections, fileless threats avoid the hard drive altogether, going straight for the memory and relying on no existing files to distribute – all of which make the attempts much harder to trace. Typically, they'll run code within trusted applications such as Powershell, WMI or Flash, utilising flaws in their coding to allow malicious code to creep in. Thankfully, they do still rely on the typical social conditioning tactics in order to infiltrate systems; so while these infections are harder to trace, they're no more difficult to avoid than the usual phishing attempts.
In a blog post this Monday, Trend Micro warned that the aforementioned ColdLock and now, Netwalker are leveraging these techniques. As Trend Micro explains, Netwalker is less than a year old and had begun recruiting cyber criminals as recently as March this year to help develop its as a Service model. It's likely that Netwalker strain will kick off a series of threat campaigns in the near future – and a number of repeat headlines in upcoming Threat Thursdays.
Now's a good time to remind you all that it isn't just suspicious files that can help the spread of malware; sometimes, all it takes is clicking on the wrong link. With Netwalker seemingly upping its game, now's the time to up our own if we're to keep ourselves protected.
…And Out Come the Wolves
A new malware, named WolfRAT by the cyber security boffins at Talos, is currently in development. Targeting Android versions of popular messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, the malware currently appears to be targeting Thai victims. The likely developer is thought to be threat actors from Germany-based Wolf Research, who had previously sold surveillance technologies to European governments in 2018.
While Wolf Research has been disbanded for quite some some time, the cyber security boffins at Talos note some striking similarities between the way WolfRAT is compiled compared to the now-defunct developer's previous works. They surmise that while Wolf Research is no more, then, its legacy lives on with some of its previous members. Within their research, Talos also notes some convincing links to Cyprus-based interception technology specialists Coralco Tech.
The malware, which is thought to be a remote credential-gathering tool for hackers, is believed to spread via phishing campaigns and disguise itself as legitimate-looking apps such as Google Play. Once installed, it can begin snaffling up the details of any and all messaging apps. Line, a popular messaging app in Thailand, is the most commonly-targeted, but there's potential for WhatsApp, Facebook and SMS hijacking too. While this one's currently targeting overseas entities, it's still worth keeping an eye on this capable consortium lest they take their efforts worldwide.
Man the Lifeboats! Not even 2FA can Prevent this Latest Office 365 Phishing Campaign
Cofense's Phishing Defence Sector has uncovered a new phishing campaign which not only accesses user data, but does so without needing to bypass Two Factor Authentication.
The phishing email, which lures in its victims with the ever-tantalising promise of a bonus package for Q1. As with last week's Microsoft Teams phishing email, it accurately mimics the look of a SharePoint-hosted file – in this case a pdf. Clicking this takes the user to the Microsoft Online login page.
Here's where it all gets a little technical. While the Microsoft login page is entirely legitimate, but there's a certain instance of what we in the business call "jiggery-pokery" which allows the threat actors to bypass certain procedures using a Bulgarian url. As is usually the case, the researchers describe it far better than I can in their technical write-up, here.
From here, the hapless victim receives no Q1 bonus, but does potentially have all their login credentials stolen and potentially held to ransom if the criminals are feeling especially cheeky. As such, if you receive an email to the above effect it's safe to suspect you're not getting the bonus you've been promised. Well, okay - you might be, but check with your manager first rather than trusting an anonymous email. Who knows? Your workplace vigilance might even land you that raise you've always wanted. It's win-win.
Thus concludes another Threat Thursday – but dry those eyes, for we'll return next week with more of the latest rumbles and grumbles from the world of cyber security.

Handling of fetal tissue to be reviewed by HHS at Republican request
December 24, 2015 By Jerry Newberry
Review requested by GOP senators, seeking answers about federal oversight of fetal tissue research.
The inspector general's office of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has agreed to comply with a request by a number of Republican senators to review the process in which the federal government oversees fetal tissue research, according to a story on businessinsider.com.
The request was made after some Republican senators were not satisfied with the answers they received from HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell in July of this year, when she was questioned by Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and 49 of his Senate colleges asking for an investigation after a video of officials from Planned Parenthood planning to sell aborted baby parts.
Paul was joined by 35 other GOP senators in making the request to the agency back in October.
Paul said in a statement the audit of the procedures would cover all fetal tissue research supported by HHS, and added the way the agency enforced compliance with relevant federal laws would be examined as well.
Paul's statement continues by saying he was encouraged by the action of the Inspector General, and that Planned Parenthood's actions demonstrated the organization did not deserve taxpayer dollars, adding he was confident the investigation would bear that out.
Planned Parenthood has denied wrongdoing in the matter, and said that only a few clinics had accepted funds to cover the cost of providing tissue for research. The organization announced in October they would no longer accept reimbursement and they would cover the costs of providing the tissue themselves.
Dawn Laguens, Planned Parenthood's executive vice president said the organization would welcome the HHS review of practices involving fetal tissue donation, adding the work is critical to lifesaving medical research, and has led to a number of breakthroughs.
Laugens also said Planned Parenthood had been involved in eight state investigations and no wrongdoing had been uncovered.
Daniel Levinson, Inspector general of the HHS, told Paul in a letter he would provide periodic updates on the progress of the review, but did not give a deadline for its completion.
Since the release of the Planned Parenthood videos, several investigations have been launched by congressional Republicans, including a House select committee probe that is not expected to be completed until the end of next year.

The Sending (Obernewtyn Chronicles #6)
Author(s): Isobelle Carmody
THE OBERNEWTYN CHRONICLES - BOOK SIX
It came to me then, like a chilly draught from an unseen gap, that I had always known in my deepest heart that it would be like this, a slipping away from a life full of people I had come to love, in a place I had helped to shape, in a land I had helped to free.
The time has come at last for Elspeth Gordie to leave the Land on her quest to find and stop the computermachine Sentinel from unleashing the deadly Balance of Terror arsenal. But before she can embark on her journey, she must find a lost key. And although she has long prepared for this day, nothing is as she anticipated.
Elspeth's search will take her where she never thought to go, and bestow upon her stranger companions than any she ever imagined. It will lead her far from her destination to those she believed lost forever.
And it will test her, as she has never been tested before . . .

Your starter for ten: can you run a college start-up?
Emil Hewage had no idea when he started building an environmentally friendly racer with his varsity eco-racing society that it was the start of his journey as an entrepreneur. "I train our team to develop a project just as you would in a company, which is great but stressful," said Hewage, 25, studying at Cambridge… Continue reading Your starter for ten: can you run a college start-up?


With school heading back very soon, our children may have some anxiety starting to creep back in.
I know this is the case judgingg by a few phone calls I have had from concerned parents recently. However, what are our children anxious about really?
Maybe it is the unknown. They are leaving the safe surrounds of home, about to the put in a classroom with at least 25 other children with a teacher that they probably don't really know! Why wouldn't they be anxious?!
Our kids thrive on routine and this can be the complete opposite.
However, is this really what they are anxious about?
Maybe there is more to it then just returning to school. Maybe there may be anxiety about other children at the school, maybe they are just starting a new school or it is their first year of school, maybe they know something that happens in their year level (like Naplan, assembly, sports etc) and they are worried about that?
They are telling themselves a story and whether it is real or not they believe it to be true!
Ask your child what they are worried about. This might sound obvious but quite often we assume we know what they are worried about. There is nothing wrong with this at all as we know our children quite well but often, they are thinking about something that is completely different to what we thought. Once we are clear on what they are anxious about then we can help them accordingly.
When you find out what they are worried about, ask them to explain what they think may happen. Don't disregard their feelings by saying things like "oh, you will be fine it will be alright" Let them know that you understand how they are feeling, and you are there to help them work through it.
Remind them about things they like about school or if there are any other children, they like who they haven't seen over the school holidays. This gives them something to look forward to. There will be something, just keep digging, even if it is just the tiniest bit of enjoyment you can find, run with it. They will need something to look forward to.
Avoid staying focused on the negative. Many kids have a negative view about school and that's because a lot of their time there can be negative. Even as adults we don't like being in a negative environment, so it is no different for our kids. Focusing on the things that work rather than what don't work will help move forward.
Talk to the school. If you can do this before school starts it is even better. Advise them that your child is anxious, and you are concerned about the first few days at school. Ask if the new teacher is open to speak with you before school starts or you are able to come early to allow your child to meet them quietly and see the classroom. If you can, assure your child that you will support them as much as you can.
Going back to school brings with it a certain amount of anxiety to everyone. Even us as parents we can be a little concerned about what the year will bring with school. School can be quite a challenge for our children, and we need to support them as much as we can.

Q: Is there a way to update multiples documents in MongoDB without providing the whole Object? I'm trying to save a bunch of documents at once using MongoTemplate, I've tried updateMulti but doesn't seem that it will work for me.
Here's an example:
[
  {
    "personId": "A",
    "ranking": 1
  },
  {
    "personId": "B",
    "ranking": 2
  },
  {
    "personId": "C",
    "ranking": 3
  }
]

So then the client will reach the API and send me a list with the new Ranking positions:
[
  {
    "personId": "Z",
    "ranking": 1
  },
  {
    "personId": "A",
    "ranking": 2
  },
  {
    "personId": "B",
    "ranking": 3
  }
]

The ways I've achieved the desired result was iterating trough the list and saving each entity at time, but since the list goes far beyond 3 entities, I think that is possible to save all at once, but couldn't find a suitable way.
The whole object is something like:
Person
 {
    "personId": "A",
    "ranking": 1,
    "firstName": "foo",
    "lastName": "bar",
    "birth": "01/01/2010",
    "registered": "01/01/2020"
  }

Last month in March, the average sales price for all property types combined across the 416 was $830,043, representing an 11.6% year-over-year decline.

Each of its lofts is truly unique, with their own layout, floor plan and finishes, but they all have some incredible features in common.
Toronto home sales were down last month in February, while selling prices continued to rise, as a result of very low inventory available on the market. Now, with the weather finally becoming more mild and spring-like, it's about that time of year when we begin we see more properties listed for sale - great news for inventory, and for buyers who have been waiting for the opportunity to find their perfect home.

A vibrant, boutique mixed-use development is coming soon to the Junction neighbourhood!

$1.2 Million Federal Grant Supports FRCC in Assisting Westminster High School Students
A $1.2 million federal grant to Front Range Community College will assist Westminster High School students in their college-entrance preparation.
FRCC staff will serve 60 WHS students annually under the five-year TRIO Upward Bound (UB) grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Upward Bound serves high school students who have a desire to pursue postsecondary education and are from low-income families or are a potential first-generation student.
The goal of Upward Bound is to increase the rate at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and graduate from institutions of postsecondary education. FRCC's program will address low academic achievement and high socioeconomic barriers that UB-eligible students face as they prepare to enter postsecondary education.
FRCC UB will provide services including academic instruction, tutoring, mentoring, cultural enrichment, and education on financial literacy. Participants also will receive individual guidance for personal, career, and academic matters as well as participate in a six-week summer program at FRCC's Westminster Campus where participants receive classroom instruction, participate in social and cultural events, learn leadership skills, and connect with peer participants.
FRCC will work with WHS staff to identify students eligible for the program, which starts Sept. 1.
Aaron Prestwich, dean of student affairs at the Westminster Campus, will oversee the operations involved with the grant, which will provide funding for a TRIO UB director, academic coordinator, and an administrative assistant. Prestwich brought TRIO experience with him when he joined FRCC in 2013 and helped jump-start another TRIO program, Student Support Services, in 2015. The program supports services for current FRCC students.
"We are thrilled to continue building our strong TRIO culture by adding another TRIO program at FRCC," Prestwich said. "We look forward to partnering with Westminster High School in our joint effort of helping WHS students successfully pursue and prepare for their postsecondary pursuits. TRIO Upward Bound has a rich history and has proven to make a difference for thousands of high schools students across the country."

Q: Random in .lua programming I have to make a random numer (1 and 2) in .lua, and change this value every 3 seconds.
I have a variable = randomMode, this randomMode have to change every 3 seconds (1 or 2)

A: You could try making a kind of timer that changes the value. For example the main program loop could to change the variable every 3 seconds by using time stamps.
If you cant use a good way to implement a timer, maybe just checking time stamps since last call is good enough. For example this function randomizes the number on each call to GetRandomMode if more than 3 seconds has passed:
local lastChange = os.time()
local mode = math.random(1, 2)
function GetRandomMode()
    local now = os.time()
    if os.difftime(now, lastChange) > 3 then
        lastChange = now
        mode = math.random(1, 2)
    end
    return mode

Stock Futures Fall as Sandy Forces Market Closures
Andrea Tse
Oct 29, 2012 at 12:01 AM Oct 29, 2012 at 7:49 AM
Stock futures slump Monday as U.S. futures markets close early without notice of when they'll reopen again because of Hurricane Sandy.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Stock futures slumped Monday as U.S. futures markets closed early without notice of when they'll reopen again as the enormous Hurricane Sandy gained strength on its path towards New York City.
The New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq and the CME Group in Chicago said they will close their physical trading floors and electronic trading Monday in accordance with emergency actions by government officials as Hurricane Sandy looms.
This will be the first time in 27 years that the NYSE, a unit of NYSE Euronext (:NYX) will close the trading floor because of weather.
CME Group (:CME) said stock-index futures and options would be halted at 9:15 a.m. EDT.
A number of companies have decided to postpone their earnings reports amid the stock market closures.
Acorda Therapeutics (:ACOR) rescheduled its third-quarter earnings release for Wednesday; Pfizer (:PFE) and Radian Group(:RDN) pushed back their earnings announcements to Thursday; Thomson Reuters (:TRI) and NRG Energy (:NRG) have delayed their releases to Friday.
Entergy (: ETR ) has rescheduled its third-quarter call to Nov. 5.
Burger King (:BKW) released its quarterly results as scheduled, announcing third-quarter profit and revenue that beat estimates, as the fast-food hamburger chain offered new menu items and advertising campaigns that lifted comparable restaurants sales in North America.
Burger King also initiated a quarterly cash dividend of 4 cents a share.
In deal news, Clean Harbors(:CLH), the provider of environmental, energy and industrial services throughout North America, announced that it will buy Safety-Kleen, the largest re-refiner and recycler of used oil in North America, in an all-cash transaction valued at $1.25 billion.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 60 points, or 47.21 points below fair value, at 12,994. Futures for the S&P 500 were lower by 4.89 points, or 3.83 points below fair value, at 1402. Futures for the Nasdaq were down 14.75 points, or 14.28 points below fair value, at 2644.
"Individually, the market's performance following major hurricanes has been uneven, as equities are more likely driven by wider-reaching global events than localized natural disasters," Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ said in a morning note. "On average, however, the S&P 500 rose between 3% and 6% in the subsequent one through six months. Of course there is no guarantee that history will repeat itself."
The Bureau of Economic Analysis reported Monday that personal income increased 0.4% in September against a gain of 0.1% in Augusts, while spending rose 0.8% last month after increasing 0.5% the previous month.
Economists, on average, were expecting that personal income would rise 0.4% and that spending would gain 0.6%.
The international markets were down. The FTSE in London was falling 0.51% and the DAX in Germany was down 0.61%. The Nikkei Average in Tokyo settled down 0.04% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index closed off 0.16%.
December crude oil futures were off 10 cents at $86.18 a barrel. December gold futures were up 50 cents at $1,712.40 an ounce.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury was up 10/32, lowering the yield to 1.71%. The dollar was up 0.19%, according to the dollar index.
The major U.S. stock averages closed near the flat line Friday as disappointing results from companies such as Apple(:AAPL) and elevated concerns on earnings forecasts overshadowed a better-than-expected read on domestic economic growth.
