'CopyCat' malware infected 14 million Android devices and generated $1.5m for hackers
CopyCat malware was able to give hackers 'full control' over roughly 8 million devices.
July 6, 2017 17:24 BST
In a lucrative cybercrime scheme, hackers were able to use a strain of mobile malware to infect 14 million Android devices and generate roughly $1.5m (£1.2m) in illicit advertising revenue over a period of two months last year by "stealing credit" for app referrals, experts have revealed.
In a 13-page analysis this week (6 July), researchers from cybersecurity firm Check Point said the malware – dubbed CopyCat – was able to successfully give hackers "full control" over roughly 8 million devices in an "unprecedented" campaign between April and May last year.
Has 'Fireball' malware infected 250 million computers? Microsoft disputes shocking claim
The majority of infected users were in Southeast Asia, but the analysts found it also spread to more than 280,000 Android devices in the US. It had the ability to gain root permissions, maintain persistence and control "any activity" on compromised devices.
The hackers' campaign peaked last year, with the researchers revealing that it spread via popular apps that had been "repackaged" with malicious components and uploaded to third-party stores. There was no evidence it spread via the Google Play Store.
Ultimately, it used "state of the art" capabilities to conduct advertising fraud. Upon infection, it would attempt root the device before injecting malicious code into Zygote, a core Android function that controls the launching of all apps.
In short, the malware used two tactics to steal ad revenue: displaying fraudulent ads for clicks and stealing referrer IDs of apps installed from Google Play – the official Android marketplace.
Typically, legitimate advertisers are paid for displaying ads that lead to the installation of certain apps but in this case the malware was designed to let the hackers generate funds by allegedly scamming a leading analytics service called Tune, Check Point said.
The researchers were able to gain insights by retrieving data from the malware's command and control (C&C) servers. The firm claimed malicious ads were displayed on 3.8m infected devices while 4.4m infected devices were used to "steal credit" for Google Play referrals.
This is believed to be the first example of adware using this technique. "We called it [CopyCat] because it takes credit for installations it didn't initiate, which is the big technological innovation it presents," Daniel Padon, Check Point threat researcher, told eWEEK.
Old exploits, new tricks
"CopyCat successfully rooted over 54% of the devices it infected, which is very unusual even with sophisticated malware," the researchers wrote, adding that all exploits used were "both widely used and very old" – with some being issued patches way back in 2013.
How CopyCat malware works Check Point
The exploits remained effective because "users patch their devices infrequently, or not at all".
The cybersecurity firm, which recently exposed a massive malware campaign dubbed 'Fireball', informed Google of the campaign in March 2017. The tech giant was then able to reduce the spread of the malware, but has warned that some infections may still exist.
It remains unknown who was behind the CopyCat malware attacks, however Check Point found links to an advertising network located in China called MobiSummer.
Researchers found "some of the remote services used by the malware" were created by the firm.
Interestingly, the malware doesn't target Chinese devices, which indicates the hackers are attempting to evade local investigations from law enforcement. In its blog, Check Point admitted it's possible the hackers "used MobiSummer's infrastructure" without the firm's knowledge.
To stay protected from Android malware of this nature, experts advise users only download apps from official marketplaces and ensure all devices have the latest security updates installed.

Treated sewage effluent
Nowadays Treated sewage effluent is considered an alternative water source in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) after coming into existence in the early seventies of the last century. The attention with treating sewage water rose after holding Kuwait's policy for protecting marine gulf environment on April 24th 1978, which made Kuwait pioneer among GCC countries in the treatment of waste -sewage- water. The first water treatment plant in the GCC was established in 1971 which is the Ardiya plant located northwest of Kuwait city. By 2001 four water treatment plants exist in Kuwait treating water in the tertiary method, except Umm Al-Hayman plant which treats water in the quaternary method; the first of its kind in the GCC. The four plants have a production capacity of about 562.000 m2/day, while the treated sewage effluent is almost 354.000 m2/day (62.9% of the total production capacity of the treatment plants). In 2005 the giant Sulaibiya sewage effluent treatment plant was opened, joining in with the quaternary method for treating water. Below is a summary of the five plants:
1. Ardiya Plant
The Ardiya plant is the oldest of the stations, it was established in 1971 and remains the largest in terms of production capacity, with a 280,000 m2/day capacity (49.8% of the total energy of the four treatment plants). It treats the raw sewage of Kuwait city, and uses a portion of the treated water to supply the Sulaibiya agricultural irrigation project; a project specialized in the cultivation of fodder to serve dairy production livestock farms concentrated in Sulaibiya near Kuwait city where the majority of diary consumption exist. After the Sulaibiya station operates the Ardiya station will turn into wastewater collection center which will pump the waste water to Sulaibiya through 25km pipelines.
2. Rigga Station
Was established in 1982 and its production capacity is 185,000 m2/day (32.9% of the total production capacity of the four stations). It treats southern regions' raw sewage network (10th Area), which includes several areas such as Al-Ahmadi, Fahaheel, Mangaf, Fintas, Abu Halifa, Shuaiba and others. It is located in North Hadiya.
3. East Jahra Station
Was established in 1982 and its production capacity is 70.000 m2/day (12.45% of the total production capacity of the four stations). It treats northern regions' raw sewage network which include areas like Jahra, Doha and others.
4. Umm Al-Hayman Station
Was established in 2001 to serve recently developed residential areas of Umm Al-Hayman with an initial production capacity of about 27.000 m2/day. This plant is the first of its kind in the GCC due to its usage of Ultraviolet quaternary method for treating raw sewage water, which is considered the most advanced, healthy and environmentally suitable. The treated water from this plant can be safely used for crop irrigation including produce, which helps with the -near Umm Al-Hayman- Wafra Agricultural area Problem; The lack of potable ground water because of its high salinity. A small Sewage treatment unit was established in Wafra Residential area project in 2003 with a production capacity of 4.000 m2/day. Plans are made to establish a new water treatment plant in Sulaibiya with a production capacity of 200.000 m2/day.
5.The Giant Sulaibiya Station
It opened officially on March 8th 2005 and is the latest sewage treatment plant in Kuwait. The Sulaibiya station is the largest in the world with the design capacity of about 375.000 m2/day at startup. And it will increase capacity in the later stages to reach its production capacity limit of about 600.000 m2/day. This plant uses a very advanced sewage treatment technology represented in the quaternary and reverse osmosis methods which allows production of water that exceeds world-class standards and specifications set by the World Health Organization for suitable drinking water, encouraging the use of treated water in a safe way that is environmental and health-conscious in the field of agricultural development, particularly produce and some industrial, commercial and domestic –minus bathing and drinking- uses.

May 10, 2018 · by The Delhi Walla · in Farewell Notice
The 195th death.
[Text and photos sent by Payu Tiwari]
Despite issuing several proclamations of apocalyptic warnings to the masses about the consequences of patriarchy, Payu Tiwari died ignoring what she'd been warned of her whole life–daydreaming, as she crossed the bustling roads of Bombay, blushing at her dreams.
Unfortunately, they were rudely interrupted by a Toyota land cruiser with an invisible driver behind the wheel.
She will be remembered as a textbook example of embarrassment pulled off with elan, being passionate about music and Sorkin dialogue, declaring herself "spiritually attached" to Hamilton's Angelica Schyler, along with her signature glare at anyone dispensing uninformed opinions about Indian cinema.
Also, for writing long sentences.
Her tombstone reads the words most frequently uttered by her in her larger than life existence–No one loves me back, really.

We're thrilled to announce the next great adventure coming to Poptropica.
It's the biggest and best (or maybe smallest and spiffiest?) Poptropica Island ever! To learn more, visit the Virus Hunter Island info page.
Awesome! I can't wait for this island. It's probably going to be one of my favorites because I want to be a doctor when I'm older, and my favorite subjects are Math and Science. Yes, you heard me correctly. Math. Don't judge! 😛 So, do you think it's going to be one of your least favorite islands, your favorite, or are you neutral?
Poptropicans are feeling fine, but man's best friend isn't so lucky. Now, a sick dog needs your help. Head back into the fray to take down a new threat: the vicious heartworm! Find out how to get Membership now!
Members get an additional Virus Hunter Island gear pack, which includes Virtual Virus costume, Inside-Out power, and Sneezing Powder item. The Virtual Virus costume is ONLY available during Early Access!
24 Hour Bug: Sometimes, all you can do is ride it out.
At Arm's Length: I've got you under my skin.
Dash Away: You can't live inside a bubble forever.
Enemy Within: Antibodies, or anti-your-body?

Insane in the Membrane: This island will get into the fiber of your being.
Outta Sight Erythrocyte: These RBCs have places to go.
Splintered: Watch out for jagged pieces.
Pearly Whites: The tooth, the whole tooth and nothing but the tooth.
Looks great! I'm pretty sure one of these captions is meant to be related to a song, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm mostly not 100% sure because most kids wouldn't know what the song it came from is. The one that says, "Insane in the Membrain" is directed to a popular song that is sang by a rock band. Based off these pics, the island looks pretty great (in my opinion).
The next one is different from most. Instead of wallpaper, it's postcards!
Awesome! Next up: Virus Hunter Island!!!
I like band, cuz my band teacher is so funny! Same goes for Social Studies!

Endowment & Scholarships
by Thomas Giffin
If you spend time with Lata Chinnan, you discover that she likes to lead from the front. Softly, quietly, and always with grace… but if the organization or civic group is moving forward in the Southern Crescent, you will usually find Lata deeply involved.
The old saying, "if you want to get someone's attention… whisper," applies to Lata. Whether it is being the number one math student back in her eighth grade, or winning this year's Clayton County Chamber of Commerce's highest honor for community service, Lata's whisper holds the force of a lion's roar.
"Lata Chinnan is a unique force," explains Clayton State University Foundation Chair Tim Crawford. "While serving as a member on the Foundation's Board, she has combined knowledge, wisdom, and strategic guidance with a confidence that has allowed for solutions to arrive through consensus. Paraphrasing and old advertisement, "When Lata talks – it will be softly – but everyone listens."
Fittingly enough, Clayton State University President Dr. Thomas Hynes, then chair of the Clayton County Chamber of Commerce, was the leader who recently presented Lata with the Chamber's Carl G. Rhodenizer Community Service Award at the organization's premier annual awards event. During her congratulatory remarks, Lata credited her numerous efforts to her deep-rooted belief that education is the path that can literally change people's lives.
"I was blessed with parents that believed in education," Lata told the overflowing crowd. "I have a brother and six sisters and each one of us were taught very early the importance of education. Math and reading were emphasized, but no matter what subject, my parents always supported us to keep our grades up."
Lata and her husband, Manjeet, a professor and graduate school advisor at the University of Georgia recently established the Chinnan Family Community Endowment at Clayton State. The scholarships provide for students interested in a global perspective through study abroad, and to support international scholars from India. The endowment also allows opportunities for CSU faculty and staff to benefit from Rotary membership and programs such as Leadership Clayton.
"Giving back to the community is just part of my life with Manjeet," Lata recently said. "I tell my friends, 'Do not wait to give back. Do it now. If we do not, who will?' I have never regretted assisting others."
Lata and Manjeet have also established two other endowments; one at their Alma Mater in India at the Punjab Agricultural University, and the second endowment at the University of Georgia.
Lata's drive has always been a part of her fabric. Lata started her athletic career in middle school competing in field hockey and track & field. She went on to play for the Indian National Field Hockey team and play in the first-ever Women's World Cup in France. After graduating with a Master's Degree in biochemistry from India's Punjab Agricultural University, Lata's love of travel abroad remained strong. She has been around the world; visiting some glamorous locations, and numerous underdeveloped countries whose residents have also benefitted from her philanthropic kindness and huge heart.
Lata's professional successes have come from being President of New South Package Store in Riverdale, Georgia, which will celebrate its 30th anniversary of business this year. Between her successful career, numerous civic duties, and her frequent international travels, Lata is also proud to say that she has completed over 30 courses in the Clayton State Continuing Education program.
"One should never stop learning new things," Lata explains. "I have taken continuing education classes in everything from management to floral arrangement and each class has added to my professional and personal life."
Successful businessperson, generous philanthropist, award-winning civic leader, and globetrotting humanitarian… if you are looking for Lata Chinnan, look straight ahead. One will never find this special, quiet leader by looking anywhere except towards the front.

Rarely as a vegetarian do you come across somewhere where your diet is not sidelined but celebrated. Even more rarely is this the case for vegans. Brighton is the place to be for us; it hosts a number of varied and high quality food-joints targeted at vegetarians and vegans. And Infinity Foods Kitchen is one of its long-established gems.
The Kitchen is part of the Infinity Foods cooperative, which is a Brighton-based distributor of ethically sourced food. The produce is as much as possible organic, Fairtrade, GM-free and locally sourced. Just a short walk from its sister retail shop on Gardner Street, the Kitchen is where you can enjoy Infinity Foods in a cafe.
The cafe has a crisp, light, simplistic feel to it which resonates with the message of the place. The food itself is served to you right there at the counter in a ready-made deli kind of style, so it's nice to be able to tuck right into it. I ummed and ahhed because everything on display looked and smelled so good, particularly the vegetable curries and impressively presented mezze platters (which I have vowed to return and try).
We arrived around midday, sadly too late for the full English breakfast, so I eventually went for the all day breakfast and my friend ordered the infinity salad. The all day breakfast comes with scrambled tofu, mushrooms, spinach, baked beans, polenta and a cup of tea of your choice. They had run out of polenta when I visited so I was substituted with a veggie sausage.
I may never know what the polenta adds to the mix but that was a good sausage. The scrambled tofu is served in a smoky paprika sauce, which really adds colour to the traditional English breakfast flavours. The spinach and mushrooms were cooked well but frankly it's hard to get them wrong.
The Infinity salad is a daily selection of seasonal salad. My friend's was a mix of cashews, quinoa, peppers, rice, cabbage, vegan coleslaw and a general amalgamation of colour and goodness. She found the rice a tad dry but the quinoa, which can sometimes be dull, was packed with moisture and flavour.
To drink I ventured a recommendation of lemon and ginger tea, which swept my food down with a refreshing vibrance, while she had a sadly not-so-chocolatey hot chocolate.
You have to leave some room for dessert at Infinity Kitchen, because it is just gorgeous, however unassuming. And everything we had was vegan. We went for the chocolate and vanilla cheesecake (because how could we not?) a vegan protein bar (intriguing) and a peanut butter cheesecake.
The chocolate cheesecake was a smooth balance of sweetness without being too rich. Peanut butter desserts are huge at the moment, and for good reason. This cheesecake was subtle and surprisingly creamy for its lack of dairy, with the peanut butter flavours hinted just the right amount.
The protein bar tasted as peculiar as it looked, but was sweeter than expected and honey-flavoured. A knife would not penetrate its nutty armour so we devolved into tearing it apart with our bare hands. If it was possible, you could certainly taste the nutrition. Gains were had.
The one thing I would add is that the presentation of desserts was lacking something, maybe a couple of berries on the side would have given them a bit of interest to they eye. I understand, though, that Infinity is more about substance than style.
Infinity Kitchen is humble, laid back and utterly home-made in its vibe. Vegan or omnivore, it's well worth swinging by for an affordable and tasty brunch.

Dual MAX14870 Motor Driver Shield for Arduino, top view with dimensions.
This motor driver shield and its corresponding Arduino library make it easy to control a pair of bidirectional, brushed DC motors with an Arduino or compatible board, such as the A-Star 32U4 Prime. The board features a pair of Maxim's MAX14870 H-bridge motor driver ICs, which allows it to operate from 4.5 V to 36 V and makes it well suited for driving higher-voltage motors like our 12V 20D gearmotors. The shield can deliver 1.7 A continuous per channel and tolerate peak currents up to 2.5 A per channel for a few seconds. The shield ships fully populated with its SMD components, including the MAX14870 drivers and a FET for reverse battery protection; header pins for interfacing with an Arduino and terminal blocks for connecting motors and power are included but are not soldered in (see the Assembly with included hardware section below).
This shield is intended to provide a low-cost, basic motor driver option for Arduinos, so it is much smaller than typical Arduino shields and does not include pass-through, stackable headers. For higher-power drivers with more configuration options, see our larger MC33926, VNH5019, and Dual G2 High-Power Motor Driver Shields.
For a lower-voltage alternative to this shield, please consider the DRV8835 Dual Motor Driver. We also have a similar MAX14870 motor driver kit for the Raspberry Pi, as well as a smaller and lower-cost single MAX14870 carrier for those with tighter space constraints or who only want to control one motor.
Dual MAX14870 Motor Driver Shield for Arduino, top and bottom sides.
Before the shield can be plugged into your Arduino, header pins must be mounted to the bottom of the board (the side without any components or text) by soldering them into the appropriate holes. The shield ships with a 0.1″ straight breakaway male header strip that can be broken into smaller pieces and used for this purpose. Ground is the only necessary connection on the left side of the board (though VIN must also be soldered if you intend to power the Arduino from the shield). Along the right side of the board, digital pins 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 are used by default. Male header pins should be soldered to at least these locations so that the shield will make the appropriate connections to the Arduino. Once the header pins are soldered in, one easy way to ensure that you are plugging the shield properly into the Arduino is to align the gap between pins 7 and 8 on the shield with the gap between pins 7 and 8 on the Arduino's female headers.
When the input voltage for the motors is appropriate for the Arduino or Arduino compatible board, reverse-protected power can be provided to the Arduino's VIN pin through the shield. For this configuration, solder two male header pins to the "VM = AVIN" jumper location and install the included blue shorting block across them (as shown in the above assembled picture). These pins should point up, away from the Arduino.
Warning: The MAX14870 shield works with voltages well above what typical Arduino boards can tolerate, so it is very important that you only use the "AVIN = VM" jumper in situations where the motor supply voltage is also within the operating limits of your Arduino. Otherwise, your Arduino could be permanently damaged.
If the motor supply voltage is higher than the Arduino or Arduino compatible board can handle, a voltage regulator, such as our D24V5F9 500mA Step-Down Voltage Regulator (not included), can optionally be used to provide a suitable voltage to VIN pin of the Arduino. For this configuration, solder the regulator into the VM, GND, and AVIN pins outlined in the shield's silkscreen. Be careful to orient the regulator so its input pin lines up with VM and its output pin lines up with AVIN. For a more modular setup, a three pin female header can be soldered to the shield and used as a socket for a regulator.
The Arduino's power jack must remain disconnected at all times if power is supplied to the AVIN pin through the shield.
Warning: When powering the Arduino from the motor shield, you must never connect a different power supply to the Arduino's VIN pin or plug a power supply into the Arduino's power jack, as doing so will create a short between the shield's power supply and the Arduino's power supply that could permanently damage both the Arduino and the motor shield.
Three 2-pin, 5 mm terminal blocks are included for making easy motor and power connections to the shield once they have been slid together and soldered to the six large through-holes. Alternatively, you can solder 0.1″ male header pins to the smaller through-holes above the terminal block holes, or you can just solder wires directly to the shield for more compact (and permanent) installations.
Additional header pins and shorting blocks beyond what is included can be used to make some of the more advanced optional modifications to the shield, such as remapping the control pins.
The shield plugs into Arduino digital pins 4 – 12 on one side and A1 through RST on the other. The upper-left corner of the shield partially blocks the Arduino's IOREF pin, but this region of the board (marked with a white silkscreen box) can be removed if necessary to allow access. The shield also blocks Arduino digital pins 5, 6, and 11, but these pins are not used by default and alternate access points to them are provided via the neighboring through-holes.
4 EN Inverted enable input: The shield pulls this pin low by default, enabling the drivers. Driving this pin high puts both motor driver ICs into a low-current sleep mode and disables the motor outputs (setting them to high impedance).
7 Motor 1 DIR Motor direction input: When DIR is low, motor current flows from output A to output B; when DIR is high, current flows from B to A.
9 Motor 1 PWM Motor speed input: A PWM (pulse-width modulation) signal on this pin corresponds to a PWM output on the corresponding driver's motor outputs. When this pin is low, the motor brakes low. When it is high, the motor is on. The maximum allowed PWM frequency is 50 kHz. A 100 kΩ pull-down resistor on the shield makes this pin default low.
12 FAULT Fault output: The internal pull-up on the Arduino pin connected to the FAULT input should be enabled so when the drivers are functioning normally it is pulled high. In the event of an over-current or over-temperature condition, the driver IC experiencing the fault drives FAULT low.
In the shield's default state, the motor driver shield and Arduino are powered separately, though they share a common ground. When used this way, the Arduino must be powered via USB, its power jack, or its VIN pin, and the shield must be supplied with 4.5 V to 36 V through its large VIN and GND pads. Attempting to power the shield from the Arduino is not recommended as this could result in large currents flowing through small traces. However, it is possible to power the Arduino from the shield either directly with the motor power supply or through an added regulator. See the Assembly with included hardware section above for more information on powering the Arduino from the shield, including some important warnings.
The MAX14870 offers a simple two-pin DIR/PWM control interface, where the DIR pin determines the motor direction and the PWM pin can be supplied with a PWM signal to control the motor speed. The PWM control input is pulled low on the shield through a 100 kΩ pull-down resistor. When the PWM pin is low, the motor outputs are both shorted to ground, which results in dynamic braking of a connected motor.
The shield's EN pin can be driven high to turn off motor outputs for both motor channels, which is useful if you want to let the motors coast. The EN pin is pulled low through a 100 kΩ pull-down resistor on the shield so that both motor channels are enabled by default. To get individual control of the enable lines for both drivers, the trace between the M1EN and M2EN through holes can be cut. This will leave M2EN connected to Arduino digital pin 4. A jumper can be used across the M1EN pin and the neighboring through hole to connect it to digital pin 5.
The MAX14780 shield has a fault pin that combines the fault outputs of the two on-board drivers, M1FAULT and M2FAULT. It is an open-drain, active-low fault output that goes low during an over-current or over-temperature condition on either motor channel. To get individual fault outputs, the trace between the M1FAULT and M2FAULT through holes can be cut. This will leave M2FAULT connected to Arduino digital pin 12. A jumper can be used across the M1FAULT pin and the neighboring through hole to connect it to digital pin 11.
The MAX14870 IC features a SNS input that can be used for optional automatic current limiting. By default, this input is connected to ground for both drivers on this board, which bypasses the current regulation feature. To enable current limiting, you must first cut the traces between each pair of unpopulated 1206 resistor pads near the driver chips.
The actual current you can deliver will depend on how well you can keep the motor driver cool. The shield's printed circuit board is designed to help with this by drawing heat out of the motor driver chip. PWMing the motor will introduce additional heating proportional to the frequency.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet on Tuesday Russia's special representative for Syria, Alexander Lavrentiev, and Moscow's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin, who arrived in Israel for a diplomatic visit.
The two Russian officials met Monday with senior officials at Israel's Foreign Ministry and are also slated to hold meetings with officials in the Prime Minister's Office and the Defense Ministry on Wednesday.
Their visit comes after weeks of tensions surrounding Syria, which Israel is afraid will pose a security threat now that U.S. troops are expected to leave the war-torn country.


I was surprised you didn't have that one long ago. I ended up making my own; still working on the display model, but the keyboard unit I did looks pretty good. I connected an Arduino "Nano" to one of those little .9" diagonal OLED displays, and wrote some code that simulates someone typing in a "hello world" program in typical jerks and starts, and then runs it. I'm hoping to be able to shoehorn it into a 3d printed model eventually.
Awesome! Love Tandy. You should do the CoCo 3 if you haven't already.

Course Website: Official Website - Visit The Course at Wente Vineyards's official website by clicking on the link provided.
Accolades: Ranked 22nd in California on Golf Course Gurus' Best in State list.
What to Expect: The Course at Wente Vineyards is an excellent golf facility that features some of Greg Norman's best work to date and pays tribute to Dr. Alister MacKenzie by emulating his unique jagged style bunkers. The course features loads of elevation changes throughout the track which leads to some towering drives and some difficult approaches. The course is cut through the California vineyards which offers a unique and beautiful setting that few public courses enjoy. An excellent mix of holes exists with several long difficult par fours as well as a pair of driveable par fours and a variety of approach angles. Expect to have a wonderful day at a challenging top notch facility.
Signature Hole: 2nd Hole – 307 Yard Par 4 – The signature hole at Wente Vineyards is a driveable par four that gives players their first glance at Norman's MacKenzie style bunkers. The attractive MacKenzie bunkering theme is carried throughout the course and gives a real "throwback" feeling to years long since passed. The biggest obstactle on this hole though is the numerous trees that squeeze the fairway down and punish shots that are slightly off course. Precision shot making is required on this short signature hole.
Best Par 3: 7th Hole – 228 Yards – Expansive views are featured from the tee box of this dramatic hole. Playing severely downhill downhill, this par three offers views of the vineyards to the left, hills on the right, and the intimidation of four MacKenzie style bunkers surrounding the green. The hole plays at least a club shorter than the yardage and the green is angled away from the golfer by moving front right to back left. It is a beautiful hole that embodies much of what Wente Vineyards is all about.
Best Par 4: 18th Hole – 472 Yards – This difficult 472 yard par four finishing hole features a creek that runs through the hole and creates two fairways. The angles the split fairway offer aren't as severe as most others that try this concept, however playing to the right will shorten the hole a bit and requires a forced carry over a pond to reach the green. Playing your tee shot to the slightly safer left side brings the a collection of bunkers into play and lenghtens the hole. If you are like me, just aim right down the middle where the creek is and see what happens; chances are it will go right or left but rarely right where you are aiming.
Best Par 5: 12th Hole – 564 Yards – For many golfers, having a blind shot is a death sentence. However, blind shots increase the interest level and are only a mystery the find time around a course. Such shots are found at the 564 yard 12th hole which features a blind uphill tee shot followed by another blind shot where the golfer uses the large oak tree as an aiming point. The fairway is wide and offers golfers plenty of buffer to players unfamiliar with the situation. After climbing the hill, the hole finishes at a green that is surrounded by five bunkers where havoc is often placed on approach shots due to the wind that is generally present at this portion of the course.
Birdie Time: 10th Hole – 304 Yard Par – After climbing 250 feet from the 9th green to the 10th tee, the golfer is greeted by stunning views and a driveable par four with a canyon drop off to the right. It is a classic risk/reward situation and you should have had plenty of time at this point in your round to know whether your driver is "feeling it" today or not. When course designer Greg Norman and owner Phil Wente broke in the course with its official opening round, Norman displayed the reward side of this risky hole by scoring an eagle here on his way to a 69. It is a fun hole that all levels of golfers enjoy having in the mix.
Bogey Beware: 9th Hole – 496 Yard Par – Long and straight. You hear it all the time in golf. Hitting the ball longer and straighter and the two unicorns of golf. Well the 9th hole is just that. Very long and rather straight. Ranked in the top 10 most difficult holes while on the Nationwide Tour, tour players stumbled to a scoring average of 4.412 in 2007 at this 496 yard brute that plays into the prevailing wind. Just a green in regulation here is a mighty feat so the best way you'll likely avoid bogey is with a nifty up and down.

New findings question past studies of brain differences between people with ASD and general population
Christine Siepe Energy Medicine, Uncategorized	0
To better understand the underlying causes of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), psychologists have been using brain scanning to compare brain structures in people with ASD and the general population. Keen to understand how differences in brain structure may be related to differences in cognition and perception in those with ASD, one line of research is looking at the connectivity between different regions of the brain. One way to measure the connectivity between brain areas at a distance from each other is to look at the structure of connective tissues in the brain: the "white-matter" fibre tracts, using diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI).
Previous work has suggested that white-matter connections are affected in people with ASD. Long-distance connections in particular, have been thought to be less robust. But a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science casts doubt on existing DWI-MRI results in those with ASD and suggests the need to review the current research conclusions drawn from diffusion-weighted imaging.
The historical findings, which showed differences in the long range white-matter fibre tracts had been taken as evidence that autism is fundamentally a 'disconnection' syndrome, in which the core deficits result from reduced 'integration' of information at the neural and cognitive level.
The latest research, led by Dr Kami Koldewyn, has now revealed how head movement during the scanning process can affect the results.
Dr Kami Koldewyn of Bangor University's School of Psychology explains:
"Movement during scanning causes a drop in contrast in the area being imaged – in a way similar to how movement or camera shake while taking a photo will cause the image to blur. Because the signal we use in DW-MRI is related to image intensity, movement causes a direct change in what we are trying to measure. Even relatively small differences between groups in how much they move during a scan can make big differences in DW-MRI measures. Differences in these measures between groups may have been incorrectly interpreted as less robust connections in white-matter tracts when they may have simply been differences in head movement during scanning."
For the latest research, a large cohort of children was included in the study and all scans with any visual evidence of movement in the images were removed from the data set. When no allowance was made for head movement, there were clear group differences in several white-matter tracts. Indeed, analyses showed what might have been interpreted as differences in the long-distance white matter between two scan sets of the same group of children – caused by movement. When groups were carefully matched not only on IQ, age and gender but also on how much they moved during the scan, however, no discernible difference was found between groups – other than in one discrete area of the brain: the right inferior longitudinal fasciculus. This white matter tract connects early visual areas with higher-level visual areas of the brain important for face and object recognition. This result had been hypothesized – this white-matter tract is affected in people with congenital face recognition deficits and people with ASD often have difficulties with face recognition.
Dr Koldewyn says: "As a community of academics researching ASD, we need to acknowledge and address data qualities issues that we all struggle with. To achieve the high quality results needed to understand a complex disorder like ASD, we need to think carefully about how to improve scanning techniques and agree on what analysis methods are sufficiently robust."
"I am certainly interested in continuing this line of research here at Bangor University," she added.

Montclair filmmaker who tackled human rights abuses in China named 2020 MacArthur fellow
Julia Martin
Nanfu Wang, a Montclair-based documentary filmmaker whose work tells the story of human rights abuses in China from a personal perspective, has been named a 2020 MacArthur fellow.
MacArthur fellowships, awarded annually by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation for "extraordinary originality and dedication," come with a grant of $625,000, distributed over five years.
"Nanfu Wang creates intimate character studies that show the impact of authoritarian governance, corruption and lack of accountability on the lives of individuals," the announcement read. "[Her] provocative films are deepening our understanding of the impact of state policies on citizens while elevating the experiences of those with the least power over their circumstances."
The story continues below the video.
Wang's most recent film, "One Child Nation," which was screened at the 2019 Montclair Film Festival, won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival that year. Wang, 34, who was born under the policy, returned to China to examine the effects of its one-child policy, which included forced sterilizations and terminations, kidnappings sanctioned by officials, untold numbers of newborns left to die, and contributed to the growth of the international adoption and human trafficking industries. Her interviews, sometimes conducted while holding her newborn son, Jaimie, in her arms, are with subjects who include people from her rural village and family members.

Experts:Proud Boys group part of a growing far-right movement in NJ
Her first film, the 2016 "Hooligan Sparrow," won a George Polk Award and a Peabody. It follows Chinese women's rights activist Ye Haiyan as she protests the sexual abuse of six elementary schoolgirls by their school principal. Wang uses first-person narration as she documents the increasing government surveillance and intimidation of Ye, as well as the personal danger to herself as authorities try to shut down filming and confiscate her film.
Wang, who has master's degrees from Shanghai University, Ohio University and New York University, moved to Montclair with her husband and son last year from Crown Heights in Brooklyn.
In a TED talk about growing up under China's one-child policy, Wang explains that, in Chinese, her first name translates to "man-pillar."
"My family had hoped for a boy who'd grow up to be the pillar of the family. When I turned out to be a girl, they named me Nanfu anyway."
Wang was not the Garden State's only MacArthur fellow. Mohammad R. Seyedsayamdost, 41, a Princeton University biological chemist, was honored for his work to expand access to previously unknown and potentially therapeutic biochemical compounds to treat infectious diseases.

Country: Malawi
Solutions: Environment Governance
The Malawi Land Governance programme, funded by the European Union, enhanced people's livelihoods and food security through sustainable agricultural development, with an emphasis on remote rural areas. To better align the country's land governance framework, DAI worked with government counterparts to develop and implement land policy reforms. Our team served in both advisory and capacity-building roles, providing government officials with skills to create and review effective land policy, as well as helping design procedures to carry out reforms at the national level. The overall objective of the project was to improve the livelihoods of the population, particularly in rural areas of the country through sustainable agricultural development in Malawi. By the end of the programme, the institutional framework and capacity were strengthened at all levels for an efficient and effective land reform programme. Smallholder farmers' land rights were improved, in particular women's, due to responsible land governance at the local level guided by principles enshrined in the Voluntary Guidelines on the Governance of Tenure (VGGT).
Review existing and proposed land laws to identify inconsistencies.
Develop strategies to address key land governance constraints facing women and vulnerable groups and mainstream these issues into trainings and policy documents.
Revise Malawi's land governance framework using the Voluntary Guidelines for Responsible Governance of Land, Fisheries, and Forests, with a focus on women's land rights.
Supported the Ministry of Lands, Housing, and Urban Development (MoLHUD) to develop a Land Reform Implementation Plan, focusing on the pilot phase of land reforms.
Advised the MoLHUD in developing its gender strategy, monitoring and information strategy, institutional strengthening plan, devolution plan, and district land registry plan.
Assisted in drafting regulations for the proposed Customary Land Act.
Provided formal and on-the-job training for nine contract staff and seven customary land committee members in each of the three pilots. Trained field teams and consortium partners in systematic land registration using satellite images.

Wonder Woman 3 Could Be Gal Gadot's Last
Gal Gadot could hang up her magic lasso after the third Wonder Woman film.
Despite Wonder Woman 1984's lackluster reception with fans and critics, Warner Bros. is still moving forward with Wonder Woman 3.
Director Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot will reunite to end the trilogy.
There are no plans for Jenkins to continue; in fact, with her Star Wars gig on 2023's Rogue Squadron, insiders reveal she isn't done with Lucasfilm.
This is likely Jenkins' last time directing a Wonder Woman film.
Furthermore, sources add that it's equally likely that this will also be Gal Gadot's final Wonder Woman.
However, this won't be because of Wonder Woman 1984 being considered a letdown.
After all, Jenkins always intended to stop at a trilogy similar to what Christopher Nolan did with Batman.
Moreover, Gal Gadot said before she would only return for a third solo film as long as Jenkins was directing.

On September 9, 2021, Geekosity Editor-in-Chief Mikey Sutton scooped on his Rogues Gallery YouTube program with Syl Abdul that Wonder Woman 3 is Gal Gadot's final bow.
You can watch it here at 43:18.
Prior to this, in January 2021 Sutton revealed that Wonder Woman 3 would see her finally return back home to Themyscira.
It'd bring the character's story arc full circle. In addition, Wonder Woman 3 will also be more closer in tone to the first movie.
That film was much darker compared to the sequel's more retro and campy vibe.
The plot for the movie will apparently be influenced by the Wonder Woman 50th anniversary storyline, "War of the Gods."
That saw Roman gods wage war with Olympian gods, Egyptian gods, African gods, Norse gods, Babylonian gods, and Thanagarian gods who all want to recreate the world in their own images.
It turns out the evil goddess Circe is revealed to have orchestrated this war between the all the pantheons of gods. She wants to kill the Earth goddess Gaea.
Circe is goddess-level sorceress and also a longtime enemy of Wonder Woman in the comics. She will serve as Wonder Woman's main villain.
Image: DC Comics
If Wonder Woman 3 ends up being Gal Gadot's last solo movie, the role of Diana Prince won't be recast. The actress has now become synonymous with the role like many other actors with roles as comic-book characters.
The Wonder Woman mantle will be passed down to a new hero, specifically the most recent incarnation of the hero: Yara Flor.
Yara Flor made her comics debut back in March earlier this year in Dark Nights: Death Metal No. 7.
Flor is a demigod who, unlike Prince, does not come from the tribe of Amazons of Themyscira.
Instead, Flor is from a different tribe of the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil, South America.
As we all know, DC Films has been trying to be more diverse with their cast and characters going forward such as casting Leslie Grace as Batgirl, Sasha Calle as Supergirl, Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, and so on.
The CW was developing a Flor TV show last year before it was oddly cancelled. Perhaps this is why.
It makes sense that after Gal Gadot's tenure as Wonder Woman has concluded, the studio would want to adapt Yara Flor for the franchise.

Kyle Larson's Wife Katelyn Is a Babe Who Loves Beer
By Richard Thompson | September 10, 2021
It's hard to see the name Kyle Larson and not think about everything that happened to him over the past year or so. Back in April 2020, Larson, who is also an accomplished sprint car and midget car driver, was suspended from the NASCAR Cup Series and fired from Chip Ganassi Racing after saying a racial slur during an iRacing event. The NASCAR driver is now signed to Hendrick Motorsports, where he drives the No. 5 Chevrolet Camaro.
Alongside the northern California native for his entire controversial journey has been his wife, Katelyn Larson. Hailing from Grass Valley, California, Katelyn Sweet officially became Katelyn Larson on September 26, 2018. Together, Katelyn and Kyle have two children, Owen Miyata Larson and Audrey Layne Larson, and live in Mooresville, North Carolina.
Katelyn, an avid runner and former horseback rider, may be a mom of two, but that doesn't mean she still doesn't like to party from time to time. Who can forget the time she was the star of the NASCAR Awards back in 2019?
Katelyn Larson Shotguns Beer at NASCAR Awards
There goes our hero, @mrs_klarson!
After shotgunning a beer at the @MonsterMile, @KyleLarsonRacin's wife did it again at the @NASCAR Awards! pic.twitter.com/rgQAGwdf1d
— NASCAR on NBC (@NASCARonNBC) December 6, 2019
NASCAR likes to do award shows a little bit differently than the average organization, and nothing showed that more than when Katelyn Larson shotgunned a beer at the NASCAR Awards show in Nashville, Tennessee on December 4, 2019.
Katelyn proved how sweet she really is (get it? because her maiden name is Sweet?) when she threw back a Busch tallboy like she was at a Talladega tailgate. ended up going viral on social media.
A post shared by Katelyn Larson (@mrs_katelynlarson)
Now, before you go getting your undies in a bunch: Yes, we realize that Katelyn didn't actually shotgun a full Busch tallboy, as the 16-ounce can appears to be either empty or mostly empty. So, yeah, maybe the stunt wasn't entirely legit, but shotgunning a pre-opened beer still beats most of the hokey gimmicks you see at award shows these days.
As you may know, Larson's Busch moment was a homage to her celebratory shotgun at victory lane at Dover International Speedway back in October 2019, after Kyle won the playoff race at the Monster Mile. As you can see from the below footage, Katelyn's excitement over her husband's big win led to a, lets just say, not-so-successful shotgun.
A post shared by NASCAR on NBC (@nascaronnbc)
Katelyn (you can check her out on Instagram at mrs_katelynlarson) has been around professional race car drivers for most of her life. Not only is she Kyle Larson's wife, but Katelyn's brother is Brad Sweet, who is a World of Outlaws racer for Kasey Kahne Racing.
In any case, that probably means she's shotgunned a fair share of beers in her day. But, hey, even the pros can get rusty.

Exploring the Peak District: LadyBower & Back Tor - Beth Trueman.
Fancying a moderate intensity walk, with amazing, no, in-fact incredible views?
Then this is the route for you. This route is around 14km long, and depending on the weather could take between 3 and 4.5 hours.
This weekend we headed out into the Peaks to a popular spot at LadyBower Reservoir. I've been around the reservoir before, and don't get me wrong it's a lovely leisurely walk but it's very flat and gets a bit repetitive after a while. Personally when I'm hiking I like lots of different inclines, terrains and challenges so we wanted to try something new. I've recently subscribed to the OS Survey Maps app which is a great way to find and discover new routes around areas you will be going to or wanting to walk in. I've been using this app as a planning point, and then building my route from there. This time we used an existing planned in route, which you can find and try out yourself here.
However, instead of starting at their recommended start point, we decided to start in the LadyBower car park, which is located just off the A57. It's a large car park (so generally okay to get a space even on a busy day) and has toilets on site too which is really handy. It's pay and display so remember some change – it's around £4.70 for a day or £2.50 for 2 hours. From here, we joined the route by walking up to the dam. This is incredible to see when it's a windy day and a real photo opportunity. Get close if you dare, but you will get wet! Then we climbed the steps to the right of the dam, and followed the path up the side of the reservoir. We reached another public footpath to our right a short way up, and began our climb.
The views from this point are absolutely breathtaking and totally worth the dizzy legs you may get after the stomp to the top. Remember to look around and take in the views when you're hiking, honestly it's the BEST BIT.
At this point we started to see snow on the ground, and before we knew it we were deep in snow and surrounded by white skies. It was actually crazy how quickly we ascended into higher ground and different weather. I love snow though, so this was a nice addition. Luckily, when we headed out for our walk it was chucking it down so Sam and I were both wearing our Berghaus Jackets which are Gore-Tex and perfect for Rain, Snow and Wind. Safe to say I soon looked like a little thumb, wrapped up in layers, hats and hoods – but I was warm, and that was the most important thing!
From here, we started another accent even higher up into the clouds. Honestly, it felt like we were climbing 500 stairs that were just never ending. Honestly, yes I'm being dramatic here, but in the snow it was quite tough! When we reached the top, the wind was intense – so be prepared with hoods and snoods if you're going to take this one on anytime soon. Then we continued along the path (that may I point out was covered in snow) and puddles of deep water. This made it difficult to pick out where to safely stand, which definitely slowed down our KM pace. I'm the kind of person that just wades through these situations, and as a result I very nearly ended up face first in a knee deep pool of water. Thankfully Sam was there to save me, but my boots let in water so I was one soggy footed gal by the time we got close to the base of Back Tor. I went in knee deep, so I can't really complain about my waterproofing but I was definitely more careful underfoot after this.
After this we began our slow decent, we still had around 6km to go from this point at Back Torr. However, Sam and I decided to off-road, change the route and as usual GOT LOST. We ended up scrambling down a river. Story of our lives. If you haven't seen the 'instagram stories' highlights from this trip, i really encourage you to go and check it out here because it's hillarious.
I really hope you give this route a go if you're in the peaks, and remember that exploring is really about finding the beauty that surrounds us. Look up from your phones, take in the views and be at one with nature!

Justine Stafford
Justine has always been passionate about staying in shape and has enjoyed swimming, running and biking. In 2015 she started competing in standard distance triathlons, after having tried a Try a Tri in Edmonton and enjoying it. This year with the new changes to the qualifying process, Justine was unaware of the new procedure this year where you had to submit an EOI (expression of interest) and was so was very disappointed when her 1st place finish in Calgary did not earn a slot.
Not to be discouraged, Justine then tried again at Great White North but came up short in 2nd place. She kept on, and later placed in Stettler but her heart was in securing a spot in the standard distance event. For one more try she came ITU Edmonton in 2019 and was fortunate to place 2nd, and doing so secured a spot in World's 2020! Justine is very proud and very much looking forward to the experience.
Kate Armstrong
Kate is a Canadian from Okotoks, Alberta. She qualified for her first World Championships in 2018, and was diagnosed with Breast Cancer around the same time. Kate had a bilateral mastectomy and continued training through recovery to go to Lausanne for World Championships 9 months after her surgery.
Two days before she was leaving for Lausanne Kate had a bike crash - a possible hit and run - which left her unconscious on the side of the road. She was found with a concussion and decided to push through and compete. After the World Championships in Lausanne it was discovered that Kate had three fractures of her pelvis and numerous soft tissue injuries. Quite a warrior!
Kate has once again qualified for AG 40-44 in the standard distance race this summer at the 2020 Grand Final. This is her second attempt at Worlds and she says she can't wait to represent Canada and show her family and friends what she can do!
The Skaug family: Nikki, Emma, Whit
Triathlon came into the Skaug family in the fall of 2014 when Emma hung up her soccer cleats and entered the sport as a junior. She quickly rose through the junior ranks and had many provincial and national level podiums.
Today Emma trains at the National Performance Centre in Victoria with Triathlon Canada. Her passion and love of the sport brought her dad Whit into the sport in the same year where he earned two national titles in sprint.
Not to be left out, Nikki followed Whit into the sport the following year, signing up for six races that season having never raced before. It's been a family affair ever since!
Between Whit and Nikki they have completed over 40 triathlons in the Sprint and Standard distance. Both Whit and Nikki qualified for Worlds in Edmonton, with Whit racing both Sprint and Standard and Nikki racing in Sprint. In their own words: "we love to toe the line with people our age and go for a rip, Eh! We are excited to be representing Canada in 2020, Go Canada!"
Matthew Callum
In 2007 Matthew lost his sister to Chronic Kidney Disease, and this prompted him to make some significant changes to his lifestyle. Matthew quit smoking, lost 75 pounds and started running: which lead to road races of 5K, 10K and 21.1K in length. In 2014 he and his office mates watched a co-worker compete at the ITU Grand Final in Edmonton, and it was his introduction to Triathlon.
Inspired, the following year he did his first Sprint triathlon, and his first Olympic distance race. He even qualified for the 2016 ITU Grand Final in Cozumel!
Since then, Matthew has competed in over 25 triathlons of varying distances from sprint to Half Ironman, and has been to every ITU Grand Final since Cozumel. He will be racing with the maple leaf on his chest in 2020 at ITU Grand Final. Matthew has expressed a great love for the sport and is grateful for the friends he's made because of it. He hopes to transition to long distance triathlon in the coming years.

Beauty gets the house music treatment
By Ariana LaBarrie
All products featured on Glossy Pop are independently selected by our editorial team. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.
House music is having a resurgence, and it's in sync with current beauty trends.
The genre of upbeat, feel-good music has made its way back on the Billboard charts, with Drake releasing his house music album "Honestly, Nevermind" on June 17, and Beyoncé's anticipated "Renaissance" album debuting on Friday.
As the music genre evolves, beauty is following suit and matching the new soundtrack of the summer. Replacing soft no-makeup makeup looks are dramatic eyes, bold brows and highly pigmented colors. Beauty brands that have launched in the past year, including Ariana Grande's R.E.M Beauty and Lady Gaga's relaunched Haus Labs, have fueled this trend by focusing on opaque, saturated colors — the former with products like metallic gel eyeshadows and the latter with its Hy-Power Pigment Paint. Naturally, their social accounts and marketing campaigns are heavy on bold, highly pigmented makeup.

"Any high-energy music that inspires a crowd to dance and, sort of, become one with the beat and the energy of the room goes hand-in-hand with fun makeup," said Donni Davy, co-founder of beauty brand Half Magic and makeup artist for HBO teen drama "Euphoria." "Eye-catching makeup becomes yet another sensory experience for people to appreciate."
For its part, since launching in May, Half Magic has been built on eclectic, fun makeup, with no traditional neutral shades in sight. Its version of eyeshadow, called "Chromaddiction," is described by the brand as "intensely saturated eye paint and liner for all-over color or graphic designs." Likewise, when Haus Labs revamped its assortment and joined Sephora in June, it debuted products including a highlighter called "Bio-Radiant" and a lip product called "Hy-Power," stressing that the products are meant to add a statement to a beauty look.
Davy said the switch to more house-music-aligned makeup is a reaction to the times. "We're angry at this country yet inspired by the innate power we have," she said. "We're feeling especially bold these days and it's cathartic to express that on our faces and with our clothing as we step back into the world [post-Covid-19 lockdowns]."
Fittingly, on Beyoncé's July 2021 British Vogue cover promoting her "Renaissance" album, her chrome makeup stands out. Sir John, global makeup artist and creative director for L'Oréal Paris USA, did the makeup, telling Glossy he was going for "serious architectural structure" by focusing on the temples, eyelids, cheekbones and jawline. The featured opaque lip color was meant to be "extremely dimensional" and to mimic "plastic vinyl."
The cover had a big impact, with mentions across media channels generating a total media impact value of $8.43 million in the week it was released, according to Alison Bringé, CMO of Launchmetrics. That's more than most fashion shows generate, she said.
John called the approach of wearing makeup looks that brighten your mood "dopamine glam." He said it involves "haphazard" liners and washes of color that add a "feel-good" element. This goes hand-in-hand with "dopamine dressing," a trend Pinterest predicted for 2022 based on users' searches. Now, with a music track to pair with the resurging desire for feel-good moments, a societal rebirth — or renaissance — seems in reach.

Emoticons For Twitter/ Smileys For Twitter / emoji For Twitter : Somebody once said that if you don't have anything to say we use emojis and smileys to express what I'm feeling inside. In a social networking platform Twitter it is mandatory to use Twitter smileys while writing something. While Facebook has its own set of emoticons, twitter does not have any particular smileys to add while tweeting. Lot of people on Twitter love to add things like ♥✩♬♡►♪☺♫ in the tweets and make them look more exotic. Adding symbols will represent the exact emotion and therefore can help in reducing the number of characters.
Do you know that there are around 109,000 smileys that are available in the market and that can be added to the tweets? So how do we do it exactly.
Where to find emoji For Twitter to add them in your tweets?
What if a particular emoji doesn't work?
Where to find is emoticons For Twitter to add them in your tweets?
If you are using a computer other laptop you can type a particular symbol using the keypad on the number pad somewhere else saying a document. Once you are done with the typing you can simply copy paste the symbol into your tweet. In case you are using a phone, you have your own set of symbols in your keypad and you can use them without any stress.
The second way to get the symbols he is by using the onscreen typewriters. Using the click and tweet apps, you can compose your own tweet by inserting the symbols and then click on it to tweet. Actually, in this interface you will have different symbols and all you have to do is hover your mouse over the symbol and it will be highlighted and inserted. The most advanced app to insert Twitter symbols is TwingDINGS. If you are using an iPhone, you can go with the Feathers app with which allows you to do the same.
The third way of adding symbol or emojis into your tweets is by getting them from external sources and inserting them into the tweet using copy paste tools. One best among such external sources is Get emoji.
When you are using the Twitter app from a mobile phone, you will only have access to particular symbols refraining you from overdoing. However if you are following the third step, you will have plenty of symbols that you can use. But you have to realize that the symbols and copy pasted to Twitter, often appears as a rectangular box irrespective of the original image. For that reason, you have to restrict yourself to use specific set of emojis to the tweets.
Therefore, insert the emotions that depict your mood and have fun!

Chapel Performance Space
Earshot's annual juried series, Jazz: The Second Century, returns this July at the Chapel Performance Space with three evenings of innovative music.
33 years ago, the newly founded Earshot Jazz organization presented its first programming initiative, a concert series called New Jazz/New City, hosted in the New City Theater on Capitol Hill. While its name has evolved over the years—from New Jazz/New City, to the Earshot Spring Series, to Voice and Vision, and now Jazz: The Second Century—it has always remained true to our core values of cultivating community and supporting the progression of the genre.
For the Second Century Series, Seattle artists are selected by a peer panel through a blind jury process to perform original work in a concert setting that is questioning and expanding the conventions of the jazz form.
This year's panel of four gathered in early June to review the entries. After careful consideration and deliberation, the jury selected six ensembles. Their choices reflect our city's current dialogue surrounding the art form, in all its nuances and subtleties.
Thank you to all of the enterprising musicians who submitted work, to our panel for their thoughtful curation, and to the audience members who support the series.

Haley Freedlund is a musician rooted in improvisation and a composer rooted in songwriting. In a musical landscape that she describes as "often dominated by a mix of athleticism, machismo, and perfectionism," her take on jazz offers something more tender. Her narrative output takes the shape of longer melodic ideas, repetition, and thematic composing. Her Friends & Heroes is comprised of mainstays of Seattle's creative improvised music scene. Freedlund's music is like the first stretch of morning, limbs reaching, eyes open to the light of a new day.

Recent Cornish College of the Arts graduate Dylan Hayes has been gaining momentum as a sought-after pianist, composer, and bandleader. Notably, Hayes recently took the reins of the Jim Knapp Orchestra. "My compositions are brought to life through my arrangements and I enjoy arranging for all of the various instruments, which is why I am drawn to writing for larger ensemble's such as big band or octet," says Hayes. His octet, DXtet, is co-led by Xavier Lecouturier. Both originally from the Bay-area, the two are long-time friends and collaborators. Their music draws from a wide range of genres including hip-hop, pop, funk, and jazz.

Pianist Francesco Crosara's eclectic brand of jazz was born from early classical studies in harmony and composition at the Conservatory of Rome, steeped in the tradition of Italian and European romantic musical heritage, and honed by exposure to mainstream jazz and world music. His style is heavily influenced by improvisation and bouncy lyrical expressions drawn from jazz and Latin vocabularies. Crosara's compositions are considerate of their audience, providing a source of joy, comfort, escape, and healing. Crosara believes jazz is a collective experience and a "living language" that distills a multitude of identities, backgrounds, and personalities.

Multi-instrumentalist and composer Kevin Nortness has been contributing to the Seattle performance arts community since 1993. He is most well-known for his ten-year stint as a resident composer and performer with the Degenerate Art Ensemble. He has also contributed to Teatro Zinzanni, Moisture Festival, 14/48 Festival, and was the musical director for the Vashon Youth Theater. Nortness' Kissyface trio draws on the talents of young improvisers Troy Schiefelbein and Mike Gebhart (The Sky is a Suitcase). Kissyface has been featured on Sonarchy Radio, which is recorded at Jack Straw Cultural Center and airs on KEXP.

Saxophonist and composer Jeremy Shaskus agrees with Wynton Marsalis' claim that jazz is a "melting pot." Returning for the second year in a row, Jeremy's Pyramid Scheme has recruited three more members to grow its enterprise to a septet. Shaskus' expanded vision is "inspired by old Yiddish melodies, contemporary styles, and a great desire to compose for larger ensembles." This is a group of well-established musicians who can seriously play and take play seriously. Come see what the Pyramid Scheme cooks up. Our guess? High-energy, improvised cuts, a little sweet, mostly salty.

Ben Feldman–Bass
Lucas Winter–Guitar
Gus Carns–Piano
21-year old drummer and composer Xavier Lecouturier has quickly been making a name for himself on the scene since graduating from Cornish College of the Arts. Jazz, to Lecouturier, is a "beautiful and continuing story of freedom, diversity, and expression." His music draws from his experience as a Mexican-French-American and is a manifestation of a myriad of influences from his mother's love of the Mexican rock band MANA, to his father's love of Sting, the Foo Fighters, and Donny Hathaway, to his brother's playing of Chopin, to his friend's love of rap and hip-hop.
Tickets are available on a sliding scale for $5–15 at earshot.org and at the door.
