Reserve Bank of New Zealand Data Breach Caused by Antiquated Third Party Software
The data breach of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand has been attributed to the compromise of a third party file sharing service.
"A third party file sharing service provided by Accellion called FTA (File Transfer Application), used by the Bank to share and store some sensitive information, was illegally accessed," the bank announced in a January 11 press release. "We have been advised by the third party provider that this wasn't a specific attack on the Reserve Bank, and other users of the file sharing application were also compromised."
Accellion has since announced that it had released a patch for FTA in a separate press release, noting that its FTA product was twenty years old and was "legacy" software. The company has reportedly encouraged FTA users to update to a newer and more secure product since at least 2019.
"Accellion resolved the vulnerability and released a patch within 72 hours to the less than 50 customers affected," the press release stated.
Acellion maintains that The Reserve Bank of New Zealand had been notified of the vulnerability in the FTA software in mid-December prior to the breach, which runs counter to the bank's claims that the patch was not made available to them until December 24, less than a day before the data breach.

Stellar's Partner Thunes has partnered with Western Union for WU to utilize the Stellar Blockchain for cross-border transactions. This is a turn from them trialing Ripple technology and it looks like they are now looking at other possible solution. Stellar's Worldwire may be more attractive to them because it can use any crypto as well as fiat and stablecoins and they may eventually choose to go with this solution because of that.

April 16, 2019 Bill Bodell Leave a comment
The NFL Draft is just over a week away on April 25th and the Patriots have had a busy offseason that included the departures of key pieces of their Super Bowl winning team such as Rob Gronkowski, Trey Flowers, Trent Brown, and Chris Hogan. The Patriots currently have 12 selections and would expect them to make several trades during the draft.
This seven-round mock draft was conducted on FanSpeak.com using their mock draft simulator. I used the 'Big Board' rankings done by Matt Miller of Bleacher Report, with 'NFL Mock' for team needs, on the difficult draft setting. Some players may be ranked higher in other rankings and projections and post combine.
Round 1 pick 32: Dexter Lawrence, Defensive Lineman, Clemson
Defensive tackle was the Patriots most inconsistent position last season, with both Malcolm Brown and Danny Shelton having their share of struggles and healthy scratches from the 46-man game day roster.
Dexter Lawrence was a big contributor to the vaunted Clemson defensive line despite missing time at the end of the season due to a PED suspension. Lawrence has great size at 6'4 340lbs and could be the force in the middle of the line the Patriots defense was desperately needing at times during the 2018 season. Lawrence could step in and be a starter and key contributor right away.
Round 2 pick 56: Deebo Samuel, Wide Receiver, South Carolina
As I write this the Patriots just signed Demaryius Thomas, who I HATE as a player but like the move due to the Patriots current receiving core. Even with the signing of Thomas I would like to see the Pats add a WR early and Samuel has the ability to play both the slot and outside receiver positions and play special teams. It's still unsure the status of Josh Gordon and if he will be eligible to play next year, and after losing Chris Hogan to the Carolina Panthers depth and talent at the wide receiver position is a major area of need. New England held an official private workout with Samuel last week where Samuel later posted a video on Instagram outside Gillette Stadium saying "Hey Billy. I'll see you in a month, my man," which could mean there's interest on both sides and the private workout and meeting went well.
via gamecocksonline.com
Round 2 pick 64: Zach Allen, EDGE Rusher, Boston College
The Patriots added Michael Bennett in a trade with the Eagles, and also lost arguably their best defensive player in Trey Flowers to the Lions which makes defensive end still an area of need. Allen has good size that gives him versatility to play the interior and exterior of the defensive line and plays well as a pass rusher and run stopper. Allen had great production with 15 tackles for loss in 2018.
Round 3 pick 73: Jace Sternberger, Tight End, Texas A&M
The Patriots offense took a massive blow with the retirement of Rob Gronkowski. I liked the signing of Austin-Sefarian Jenkins but would still like to see the tight end position addressed during the draft. Jace Sternberger had a great 2018 season, his first at Texas A&M after transferring from JUCO, with 48 catches for 832 yards and 10 touchdowns. Sternberger only had one year of production which could be a red flag to teams, and is essentially just a receiving tight end and doesn't offer much as a blocker. Sternberger's size and skill set would help the Patriots offense stretch the field. Sternberger is also a player who had a private workout with the Patriots.
via kbtx.com
Round 3 Pick 97: Taylor Rapp, Safety, Washington
I would be surprised if Rapp was available at this point in the draft, but if he is would be a great pick for New England. Rapp is a similar type player to Patrick Chung, who just signed a contract extension with the Patriots, as someone who can cover backs and tight ends in the passing game, and can also play close to the line of scrimmage and is good in run support. Rapp is someone who could contribute now as well as sit and learn and be the safety of the future for the Patriots.
Round 3 pick 101: Jarrett Stidham, Auburn, Quarterback
Stidham is one of several quarterbacks the Patriots have had in for private workouts. I would love for the Patriots to be able to take West Virginia QB Will Grier, but he was already off the board in this simulation. Stidham had a good 2017 but struggled some in 2018, but has good different skill sets with his mobility, quick release, and being able to throw on the run with good accuracy. Skills that Josh McDaniels seems to value when drafting quarterbacks, and could be someone McDaniels likes as a potential QB of the future for the likely head coach of the future.
Round 4 pick 134: David Sills, West Virginia, Wide Receiver
Sills is a big body, outside receiver who was a great red zone threat during his time at West Virginia. Sills was a second team All-American in 2017 and led the country with 18 touchdown receptions, and was a third team All-American in 2018 finishing second in the country with 15 touchdown receptions. Sills is a true down field receiver who could help stretch the Patriots offense and be a valuable piece in the red zone.

Round 6 pick 205: Bryce Love, Stanford, Running Back
Running back is not an area of need for the Patriots after selecting Sony Michel in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft and having backs James White and Rex Burkhead on the roster, but being able to grab someone like Love at this point in the draft would be a steal. Love was a Heisman finalist several times during his years at Stanford and put up great numbers before tearing his ACL on the final play of his college career. The Patriots could select Love and place him on Injured Reserve to let him fully recover and team up with Michel to be be a part of the offense for the 2020 season and beyond.
via sports.yahoo.com
Round 7 pick 239: Mitch Hyatt, Clemson, Offensive Tackle
Hyatt was a four year starter at Clemson and was a part of two National Championship winning teams and was the anchor of Clemson's line during that time. The Patriots lost LaAdrian Waddle and Trent Brown in free agency and could use depth at tackle, especially with last years first round pick Isaiah Wynn set to be the starter after missing all of last season with a torn Achilles.
via greenvilleonline.com
Round 7 pick 243: Alex Bars, Guard, Notre Dame
Bars missed most of the 2018 season after suffering an ACL and MCL injury against Stanford. Bars has good size at 6'6 315lbs and could give flexibility at both guard and tackle.
Round 7 pick 246: Kingsley Keke, Defensive Line, Texas A&M
Keke has the ability and skill set to go with his size to play both defensive tackle and defensive end, after dropping 20 pounds to be more of an edge player. Keke had a breakout senior year with 51 tackles, 11 tackles for loss and 7 sacks. Keke is another player who had a private workout with the Patriots and provides the versatility that the Patriots value.
via 12thman.com
Round 7 pick 252: Justin Hollins, Edge Rusher, Oregon
I don't see the Patriots using all 12 draft picks that they currently have and could package some picks to move around the board, but projecting as they currently stand the Patriots add depth at pass rusher with their second of four seventh round picks. Hollins has good size at 6'4 240lbs with good speed for his size that would allow him to play special teams and potentially be a situational pass rusher.

February 23, 2019 Bill Bodell Leave a comment
With the NFL Combine set to start February 26th and compensatory picks being handed out it's time to look at what the Patriots can add in the draft to replace some pieces they will lose in free agency. The Patriots currently have 12 draft picks and would expect them to package picks to move around the draft board, but projected as if they would use all 12 picks.
Defensive tackle was the Patriots most inconsistent position last season, with both Malcolm Brown and Danny Shelton having their share of struggles and healthy scratches from the 46-man game day roster. Brown and Shelton are both set to be free agents and wouldn't expect New England to re-sign either leaving defensive tackle an even more important position to address in the draft.
Dexter Lawrence was a big contributor to the vaunted Clemson defensive line despite missing time at the end of the season due to a PED suspension. Lawrence has great size at 6'4 340lbs and could be the force in the middle of the line the Patriots defense was desperately needing at times during the 2018 season. If Lawrence is still on the board at pick 32 the Patriots should run to the stage to select him and not give any second thoughts
via lattimes.com
Round 2 pick 56: Riley Ridley, Wide Receiver, Georgia
The Patriots receiver depth chart for 2019 is currently Julian Edelman and Braxton Berrios. Wide Receiver is a major area of need for the Patriots as I expect Chris Hogan to depart in free agency and would expect the team to try to re-sign Phillip Dorsett or Cordarrelle Patterson to cheap deals if given the opportunity.
Adding Riley Ridley would give Tom Brady an elite young talent who can play both inside and outside and someone who has great route running ability. to go along with size at 6'2 200lbs. Ridley's brother Calvin, first round pick of the Atlanta Falcons in 2018, had a great rookie season and I could see Riley emulating that success in the Patriots offense. Even with free agency and the potential of a Josh Gordon return it would be smart for the Patriots to address the wide receiver position early in the draft, and selecting Ridley would give the a young receiver that the team could build around in the future and give the team another Georgia product after selecting both Isaiah Wynn and Sony Michel in the first round last year.
via hogshaven.com
Round 2 pick 64: Jaylon Ferguson, Edge Rusher, Louisiana Tech
The Patriots could face a huge blow to their defense if they lose Trey Flowers in free agency. Even if they get Flowers back the team should look to add a pass rusher with Adrian Clayborn and Derek Rivers not meeting expectations.
in 2018, Jaylon Ferguson racked up 17.5 sacks his senior season and had 45 total sacks over his four seasons at LA. Tech, setting an NCAA record. Drafting Ferguson will give the Patriots a true pass rushed opposite Flowers (assuming he's back) that they desperately need. It wouldn't be surprising to see Ferguson end up as a first round draft pick, especially with a strong showing at the combine.
via fanbuzz.com
It seems more and more likely that Rob Gronkowski will be returning which will be great for the Patriots offense. Even if Gronk does indeed come back and not retire addressing the tight end position is something the Patriots need to do this draft class, with Dwayne Allen and his $7.3 million cap hit likely to be gone and getting no production from both Allen and Jacob Hollister over the past two seasons adding a backup tight end is a must.
Jace Sternberger had a great 2018 season, his first at Texas A&M after transferring from JUCO, with 48 catches for 832 yards and 10 touchdowns. Sternberger only had one year of production which could be a red flag to teams, and is essentially just a receiving tight end and doesn't offer much as a blocker. Adding Sternberger would give the Patriots offense someone who could stretch the field and take away some double teams from Gronkowski when on the field at the same time and become a formidable passing option in the Patriots offense.
Round 3 pick 97: Dakota Allen, Linebacker, Texas Tech
Kyle Van Noy had a fantastic 2018 for the Patriots and the team will be getting Ja'Whaun Bentley back after missing the 2018 season after being placed on Injured Reserve, which will help the linebacking core in 2019, but you can never have enough young, versatile talent at the linebacker position.
Former "Last Chance U" star Dakota Allen made the most of the second chance he got at Texas Tech, picking up 162 tackles for loss with 11.5 tackles for loss over two seasons. Allen could fall in the draft due to some red flags that led to his dismissal at Texas Tech his first time around, but his play on the field and no off-field issues following his return to Tech should lead to Allen being taken in the mid-rounds of the draft.
Round 3 pick 101: Isaiah Buggs, Alabama, Defensive Lineman
With the Patriots having several different holes to fill adding a versatile defensive lineman like Buggs, who can play both at tackle and end with his size at 6'5 290lbs. During his senior season at Alabama Buggs had 9.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss. Adding Buggs would give the Patriots depth along the whole defensive line and someone who can contribute as a rookie.
via RollTide.com
Round 4 pick 134: Hunter Renfrow, Wide Receiver, Clemson
The Patriots take their second wide receiver of the draft taking one of Clemson's all-time leading receivers Hunter Renfrow. Renfrow worked out of the slot during his time at Clemson catching passes from DeShaun Watson, Kelly Bryant and Trevor Lawrence and constantly finding ways to get open and make big plays. Renfrow could be in line to be the next great Patriots slot receiver, as well as be a contributing piece to the Patriots offense right away.
via sportingnews.com
Round 6 pick 205: Amani Hooker, Safety, Iowa
With both Devin McCourty and Patrick Chung set to turn 32 before the start of the 2019 season the Patriots could look to add another safety to groom and even stash on practice squad if needed. The Patriots picked up former Raiders second round pick Obi Melifonwu during the season and played limited snaps on special teams and could have a larger role on defense in 2019 and going forward. Hooker has versatility being able to play both safety and cornerback who has great ball skills and was a second team All-American in 2018.
Round 7 pick 239: Bryce Love, Running Back, Stanford
I don't see the Patriots using all 12 draft picks that they currently have and could package some picks to move around the board, but projecting as they currently stand the Patriots add depth at pass rusher with their second of four seventh round picks. Hollins has good size at 6'4 240lbs with good speed for his size that would allow him to play special teams.
Round 7 pick 252: Clifton Duck, Cornerback, Appalachian State
Cornerback is probably the strongest position the Patriots have and one that they shouldn't need to address during the draft. Eric Rowe is set to become a free agent and likely won't be back, while both Jason McCourty and Jonathan Jones are all set to become free agents who I expect to be back with the team, especially with Jones being a restricted free-agent. The Patriots will also be getting second-round pick Duke Dawson back who missed all of last year due to injury. For some reason if the Patriots lose either McCourty or Jones, or both they could look to add a corner later in the draft. Duck doesn't have great size at only 5'10 175lbs, but has great ball skills having 12 interceptions over three years at Appalachian State and projects as a slot corner at the next level.

The Patriots will take on the Giants tonight in the teams preseason finale before starting up the regular season. Before the start of the regular season comes roster cut-downs, which takes place Saturday, where the Patriots have to cut down the 90-man roster down to 53. The team has already made some cuts releasing wide receiver Eric Decker and safety Eddie Pleasant earlier in the week. It is assumed that most, if not all starters will not play tonight leaving bottom of the roster and roster bubble guys to show what they can do, and make one final push to make the final 53-man roster.
Riley McCarron and Devin Lucien
The Patriots wide receiving corps has gotten a lot of attention this summer as it is one of the weakest the team has had in recent years. With Julian Edelman slated to miss the first four weeks of the season due to suspension, the Patriots seem to only have three wide receivers who are locks to make the roster and contribute early on in the season in Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsett, and Cordarrelle Patterson. Only having three wide receivers is weak enough as it is, but having Dorsett as your number two and Patterson at your three is a sign of concern for many different reasons. I find it hard to believe that the Patriots would only carry three receivers and would add a fourth if not strictly for depth purposes incase of injury and expect that battle to come down to Riley McCarron and Devin Lucien. Both guys had good training camps, but have gotten limited action in the preseason so far. Lucien had a good performance against the Redskins having four catches for 71 yards, and then had no catches in the following two games in very limited action. Meanwhile, McCarron had no receptions against Washington and only one catch against Philadelphia and then four catches for 49 yards against Carolina and had gotten some snaps on the field with Brady, as well as contributed as a returner on special teams. If it comes down to these two I would expect McCarron to make the roster due to his special teams contributions, as well as a better fit into the offense as a true slot receiver. I would also expect the Patriots to try moving rookie Braxton Berrios to the practice squad to develop more after not playing in the previous two preseason games.
Keionta Davis
The defensive line is one of the biggest strengths and area of depth that the Patriots have, which makes it even harder fight for Davis to earn a roster spot. Davis has seen a lot of reps with the first team defense during the preseason as a situational pass rusher. Davis shined against the Eagles picking up 1.5 sacks and applying constant pressure. Davis was then quiet the following week against the Panthers where the Patriots seemed to struggle in every area of the game. In a game where I would not expect to see Trey Flowers or Adrian Clayborn, Davis should get plenty of opportunity to show why he is deserving of a roster spot.
via bostonherald.com
Cyrus Jones and Jason McCourty
By now everyone knows the struggle Cyrus Jones had his rookie season and then tore his ACL prior to the start of his second season. Jones got his first action of the preseason last week where he contributed as on defense and as a returner. The talent is still there with Jones and has yet to be seen as both a corner and returner and could be too early to give up on the third year player. McCourty was one of the teams big offseason acquisitions, and has looked terrible up to this point in the preseason. After getting beat for a bad touchdown against the Eagles in week 2, McCourty played at both corner and safety last week against Carolina where he again struggled. As it looks McCourty might have a better shot at making the roster as a safety rather than a corner due to the depth the team has and how bad he has looked there. I want to see both of these guys get a lot of reps tonight as I believe they are potentially fighting against one another for a spot on the final roster. Something that wouldn't be surprising is if the Patriots did release McCourty prior to the final 53-man roster cutdown and then brought him back at a lower salary.
With the news of first round pick Isaiah Wynn tearing his Achilles and likely being out for the year the Patriots are going to have to look elsewhere to fill the fourth offensive tackle position. The team has a number of journeyman and castoff veterans who are now fighting for that spot including Ulrick John, Matt Tobin, Cole Croston and Luke Bowanko. I give the upper edge to John, who has been a veteran in the league and had flexibility to be able to play both inside and outside on the offensive line. Croston spent time with the Patriots last year and due to familiarity between him and the team could earn the spot.

PATRIOTS 7 ROUND MOCK DRAFT 2 .0
The 2018 NFL Draft is just over a week away and the Patriots still have some holes and needs on the roster that they will look to address in the draft. After a surprising trade that sent wide receiver Brandin Cooks to the Los Angeles Rams, the Patriots now own two picks in the first and second rounds and own five of the first 95 picks in the draft.
This seven-round mock draft was conducted on FanSpeak.com using their mock draft simulator. I used the 'Big Board' rankings done by Matt Miller of Bleacher Report, with 'NFL Mock' for team needs, on the difficult draft setting. Some players may be ranked higher in other rankings and projections then were taken in this mock draft.
Round 1 Pick 23: Rashaan Evans, Linebacker, Alabama
The Patriots linebacking core was terrible in 2017. The Patriots will benefit heavily from getting Dont'a Hightower back from injury in 2018, but is someone the Patriots can not rely on to stay healthy and even with Hightower returning and healthy the Pats could use an upgrade at the position. The Pats select another Alabama linebacker in Evans to pair with Hightower. Evans is extremely versatile and has the ability to play both inside and outside in the pros, as well as get after the quarterback and drop into coverage. Selecting Evans gives a great complimentary piece to Hightower, as well as gives the Patriots insurance if Hightower misses time again in the future. Evans had an official visit with the Patriots last week and is someone who is definitely on the Patriots radar.
via dailynews.com
Round 1 Pick 31: Kolton Miller, Offensive Tackle, UCLA
I had the Patriots selecting Miller here in the first version of my mock draft and stick with him again here. Following the departure of left tackle Nate Solder tackle immediately becomes one of the biggest needs for the Patriots, despite the team re-signing LaAdrian Waddle in free agency. Waddle filled in nicely last year at right tackle for Marcus Cannon, but is not a full-time starter. Miller can step in right away and protect the blindside of quarterback Tom Brady. Miller has good size and arm length similar to Solder which will help him defend speed rushers off the edge. 2017 third-round pick Tony Garcia is reported to be getting healthier after missing all of the 2017 season due to having blood clots in his lungs and the Patriots could defer to take a tackle later on in the draft if they believe in Garcia, but I have them taking Miller here who can step in and start right away. Miller visited with the Patriots last week and wouldn't be surprising to see his name called by the Patriots on Day One of the NFL Draft.

Round 2 Pick 43: Maurice Hurst, Defensive Line, Michigan
Let me start off by saying that I do not think Hurst will be available at this pick, hell I don't even think Hurst be around at 23 if were being honest but it's the way the simulator goes and if for some reason Hurst was available here the Patriots should run up the stage with the draft card with his name on it. As a Michigan fan I've watched a lot of Hurst over the past few years and he is an absolute monster on the defensive line. His speed and explosiveness allows him to go through an offensive line with ease and disrupt plays in the backfield. Hurst also has the ability to play inside or outside due to his combination of size and speed. Would be small for a true interior defensive lineman listed at 6'2 282 pounds, but has size flexibility to gain weight to his frame to become more of an interior player or stay where he's at or slim down and play primarily on the outside and move inside on third down and passing situations. Hurst did have a medical condition for an irregular heartbeat at the NFL Combine but was cleared medically prior to his pro day.
via fullpresscoverage.com
Round 2 Pick 63: Mike Gesicki, Tight End, Penn State
While I believe that Rob Gronkowski will return to the Patriots for 2018 his status is currently unknown. Even if Gronkowski returns, Gesicki is an improvement from Jacob Hollister and Dwayne Allen, the latter who still could be released from the Patriots and save the team $5 million in cap space, as well as be a nice compliment to Gronkowski in the passing game. Gesicki has good size listed at 6'5 247 pounds, and had a great combine running a 4.54 40-yard dash. While Gesicki isn't polished as a blocker he has great hands and route running ability, which could allow the Patriots to draft Gesicki and still keep Allen, who was used primarily as a blocker last season.
Round 3 Pick 95: Kyle Lauletta, Quarterback, Richmond
The big question of who is going to be Tom Brady's successor has finally been answered in Richmond quarterback Kyle Lauletta. Lauletta could end up going earlier than this due to the need of quarterbacks around the league, and the reported Patriots interest in Lauletta earlier in the draft process and offseason. Lauletta was the MVP of the Senior Bowl and has drawn comparisons to Jimmy Garoppolo, primarily due to the two both being quarterbacks from the FCS and some similarities in their play style. If Belichick sees Lauletta as a similar player to Garoppolo you could see the Patriots, and other teams attempt to move up earlier in the draft to select him. There were reports that the Patriots were the team most interested in Lamar Jackson, and while I think Jackson is a great player do not want the Patriots selecting a quarterback too early in the draft, especially with the team likely having to move up in the first round to select Jackson.

Round 6 Pick 198: Taron Johnson, Cornerback, Weber State
Cornerback looked to be a big need for the Patriots after Malcolm Butler signed with the Tennessee Titans and the Patriots missed out on top guys on the market such as Aqib Talib and Richard Sherman. The Patriots then made a call to their farm system the Cleveland Browns to acquire Jason McCourty, which doesn't make corner as big an area of need for the Patriots. Johnson player both outside and in the slot during his time at Weber State, but projects as more of an inside corner in the pros due to his size. Johnson has good ball skills having 42 passes broken up during his time at Weber State and could push Cyrus Jones for a roster spot if the former second-round pick doesn't show signs of improvement.

Round 6 Pick 210: Christian Sam, Linebacker, Arizona State
Patriots go linebacker again in the sixth round taking Christian Sam, who is a slightly undersized linebacker but has the ability to play inside and outside linebacker. Sam is a good coverage linebacker which is something the Patriots lacked last season and can help fill a role on defense and is someone who always seems to be around the ball. Sam is another player who has had an official visit with the Patriots prior to the draft.

Round 7 Pick 216: Chase Edmonds, Running Back, Fordham
The Patriots lost Dion Lewis in free agency but retained Rex Burkhead as well as signed Jeremy Hill in the offseason which doesn't make running back a huge need. Edmonds was an extremely productive four year starter at the FCS level but dealt with some injuries during his time in college. The Patriots could take a flyer on him late to see how he translates from the FCS.

Patriots look to move past early season struggles
October 3, 2017 Bill Bodell Leave a comment
We are now through the first month of the NFL season, and so far it's fair to say that the reigning Super Bowl champion New England Patriots have disappointed so far. The Patriots stand at 2-2 and second in the AFC East behind the Buffalo Bills.
The biggest disappointment so far for the Patriots has been the play of the secondary, most noticeably big offseason addition Stephon Gilmore. Gilmore has struggled in coverage and with penalties early this season, including a hands to the face penalty late in the 4th quarter against the Carolina Panthers which helped play a role in the Patriots loss.
The Patriots other big offseason acquisition in wide receiver Brandin Cooks hasn't played as big of a role as most expected, but has shown signs of promise. Cooks played a huge role in the Patriots win over the Houston Texans where he had five catches and racked up 131 yards with two touchdowns, including the game winner with twenty-three seconds left in regulation.
While the Patriots offense hasn't looked as smooth as it has in years past, they are still performing at a high level with Tom Brady maybe playing his best football yet at age 40. The Patriots struggles so far is solely on the defense and coaching. Through four games the Patriots are allowing 32.8 points per game, which is last in the NFL, a big difference from the 15 points per game the defense let up last year, which led the entire league.
The Patriots defense will be tested yet again this week when they face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night. If the Patriots don't want to move to 2-3 on the season the biggest change they need to make is their defensive scheme and play a tight man defense, rather than the zone they have been playing. Malcolm Butler is one of the most physical and scrappy cornerbacks in the entire league and Stephon Gilmore is one of the bigger corners in the league standing at 6'3. The Patriots need to play to their strengths; which is being physical off the line of scrimmage. Playing a tight man coverage won't allow quarterbacks to throw underneath and in the middle of the field, and will also allow the Patriots to send extra pressure after the quarterback. The scheme and game plan that defensive coordinator Matt Patricia has been running so far this year hasn't been working and it's time to make a change to best fit the strengths of your players, if not Buccaneers' Jameis Winston and Mike Evans will light up the Patriots secondary this week and opposing offenses will continue to do so throughout the season.

Civil War Daybook
WW1 Daybook
By: Lori Williamson | WW1 Daybook | February 15, 2018
Flags like this one were hung in the window of a house to indicate that a person from that home was in the service. Flags could have multiple blue stars to indicate that multiple members of the household were serving in the war. When someone died while serving, a gold star would be placed over the blue one, to indicate their passing. This is how the Gold Star Rolls got their name. This flag was used by the family of Harvey Mears, who served in World War I and World War II.

Michael Boggs and Red State Blue Slips
As you may have heard, Senate Democrats–now including Majority Leader Harry Reid–are bailing on the president's nominee for a district court position in Georgia, Michael Boggs, a state judge who was once a Blue Doggy Democratic state legislator representing a district in southeast Georgia. Mostly at issue are Boggs' votes in the Georgia legislature for maintaining Confederate symbols on the state flag, placing restrictions on abortion providers, and enacting a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage (this last position came with some inflammatory conservative rhetoric about "judicial activism" as well. At his confirmation hearings yesterday, Boggs took the standard approach of not talking about his specific positions on specific issues, though he did indicate his support of the abortion restriction bill was the product of ignorance, and admitted his Flagger vote was a nod to his constituents' convictions.
What I hope angry progressives do understand is that Boggs' appointment was the product not of the Obama administration's wishes, but of the system–imposed against significant precedents by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Pat Leahy (D-VT)–of requiring positive "blue slips" (basically statements of approval) from both senators in the state where any judicial nominee would serve. Jamelle Bouie has a good backgrounder on the "blue-slip" tradition and its uneven application during recent years:
[I]n its original use, the blue-slip was a simple note on the acceptability of the nominee. But, as traditions are wont to do, its role changed with the circumstances. Under Mississippi Sen. James Eastland, for example, it became a tool for Southern Democrats desperate to keep pro-Brown judges from the courts. Indeed, during Eastland's tenure as committee chairman any blue-slip in opposition to a nominee was an automatic veto.
After Eastland's retirement in 1978, subsequent chairs abandoned the practice of an automatic veto, giving weight to the blue-slip "one negative blue-slip would be 'a significant factor to be weighed,'" said then-Sen. Joe Biden when he led the committee but treating it as a recommendation, not a final judgment. Still, the general practice was that one positive blue-slip was needed for a nominee to move forward.
That changed in 1995 when Republicans took the Senate. Eager to stymie the Clinton administration, Republicans required two blue-slips for a nominee to go forward, which made it easier to kill Clinton's nominees. With the election of George W. Bush, however, Republicans reverted to the one-slip rule, in order to expedite the process. It flipped again in 2001 after Sen. Jim Jeffords defected from the GOP caucus, giving Democrats control of the Senate, and then again in 2003, when Republicans won the chamber and announced a zero blue-slip rule, allowing hearings on nominees even if there wasn't a note in favor of the candidate.
It's in response to this that Leahy restored the two blue-slip rule when Democrats took the Senate in 2006 and he became chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Yes, the single-senator veto slows the pace of nominations, but, he argues, it's more consistent than the haphazard approach of the past.
Well, Leahy's approach doesn't just "slow the pace of nominations;" it gives senators from the party opposing the president extraordinary leverage over judicial nominations. Particularly in a state like Georgia with two Republican senators, package deals are usually necessary that in effect give the opposing party judicial nomination powers. That's what's happened here, as Bouie explains:
In return for nominating Judge Julie Carnes to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and giving Boggs (and two other Republican-picked attorneys) a place on the Northern District Court of Georgia, Sens. Chambliss and Isakson [agreed to] end a more than two-year hold on Jill Pryor's nomination to the 11th Circuit.
Now Bouie thinks this is a terrible deal, and perhaps the strategy of Democratic senators is to force the Justice Department and the two Republican senators from Georgia back into negotiations. But it's a hell of a process, which wouldn't be necessary without the "blue-slip" system. As regular readers know, I'm not a big fan of Sacred Senate Traditions, and this one definitely needs to go.
If we're going to have a full-on Democratic Civil War over Boggs, I do hope Leahy gets as much heat over it as Obama.

LOVE, LOVE ME DO reviews
By Mark Haysom on February 26, 2015 in Love, Love Me Do, Reviews
What the critics say about Mark Haysom's debut novel, 'Love, Love Me Do' +++ Laura Lockington, B&H Independent, October 30 2014 'You'll be cheering the wonderful characters along as hope and optimism win the day' This book transports you immediately straight back to the 1960s, with this touching and heart-warming tale. It's a book about love, in all its complicated and messy forms. It's set in 1963, the year that The Beatles first top the charts, the year that Martin Luther King had a dream, and the year that Truman Bird unceremoniously drags his family from their Brighton home and abandons them in a leaky caravan in the middle of the Ashdown Forest. And then disappears. Christie Bird married Truman too young. She'd had a great job in Hanningtons (and the description of that creaking, charmingly old-fashioned department store is wonderful) and didn't want to leave work. But, back then, that's […]

Saturday, 3 August 1963 1 Saturday afternoon: Crawley New Town One behind the other, the two men lead the way from the bus station with the battered leather suitcase hoisted high above their heads. They are identically dressed in long drape jackets with velvet-trimmed collars, suede shoes with thick crepe soles, drainpipe trousers and bootlace ties. One has a cigarette that bobs dangerously from the corner of his mouth; he squints as the smoke snakes into his eyes. In sashaying polka-dot circle skirts and sling-back heels, their bottle-blonde girlfriends follow on in single file. Behind them are the children, Megan and then Baxter. Christie brings up the rear, carrying the baby. And they are doing the conga. A minute ago, everything seemed […]

Friday, 2 August 1963 The Ashdown Forest, Sussex 1. Baxter: 5.24 a.m. Baxter had stood there, angrily swishing a favourite stick It was like a clock going slowly tick . . . tick . . . tick . . . tick … tick . . . Baxter could hear it now and he could feel it ticking not just in his head but somehow too inside his stomach as he lay in the grey light of dawn, hot and sleepless in the narrow tousled bench bed at the back of the cramped caravan. No, that wasn't it. It was more like when you turned a key slowly in a clockwork toy and you could feel it getting tighter and tighter and you […]
Five Characters in Search of a Theme Song
By Mark Haysom on October 15, 2014 in Love, Love Me Do, Reviews
Annabel's House of Books, October 14 2014 'An intriguing novel … I really enjoyed it' By ANNABEL GASKELL Looking at the title and cover of this book, I was expecting something light-hearted, a little bit sixties rock'n'roll, a bit Nick Hornby-ish if you will – and involving a caravan. Well the last bit was right, less so the others. The title, that of the Beatles' first hit single, is an anchor in time, and the book opens in 1963, Friday August the 2nd at 5.24am to be precise. Young Baxter is dreading that later today he might have to go on a day-trip home to Brighton with his father. His mum, Christie, had said it'd be a good thing to have some time with his father, but Baxter doesn't want to go – he wants to stay in the caravan, play in the grass and go and see Soldier in the woods.

Mark Haysom's heartbreaking debut novel
By Mark Haysom on October 7, 2014 in Love, Love Me Do, Reviews
By TASHNY SUKUMARAN, The Star of Malaysia An ordinary tale of a family struggling to make ends meet is delivered with telling effect. THE Beatles' first single, 1962's Love Me Do, is a strikingly teenage effort – a promise to stay true, a vow of everlasting love and sweetness. But the same cannot be said of British author Mark Haysom's debut novel, Love, Love Me Do – named for the song and also set in the 1960s – a powerful, exhausting story of both the frailness and strength of human hearts. Truman Bird, a lying layabout of a man, forces his wife Christie and their children from their Brighton home into a crummy caravan parked in the Ashdown forest under the guise of a summer holiday. But six weeks on he's nowhere to be seen; he's seeking out borrowed money and solace in unfamiliar arms on the road, while his […]

Q: In C++, is it possible to use CRTP with a private base? In C++ I have many classes, unrelated by inheritance, that define a method std::string get_name() const.
There are several utility functions that many classes need that are implemented in terms of get_name().  I would like classes that implement get_name() to also get these utility functions.  To use a silly example let's say that for every class that has get_name, I want to have void print_name() const { std::cout << get_name() << std::endl; }.  There are a few such functions, though, and I don't want to repeat them in each class that needs them.
Sounds like a job for CRTP:
template <class T>
class NameMethods {
public:

  void print_name() const {
     std::cout << static_cast<const T&>(*this).get_name() << std::endl;
  }

};

Works great.
Here's the wrinkle - what if I want print_name() to be private in the subclass?  If the subclass inherits privately from NameMethods, then the downcast won't compile (inaccessible base).  I could replace it with a reinterpret_cast, a trivial example would work, but a reinterpret_cast won't do the right thing if there's any multiple inheritance, which there might be in the general case.
Is there an easy way to do this sort of thing?
Thanks!
Edit: I should add a little background.  I'm trying to write in a style that uses protocols where possible, rather than abstract superclasses.  If I make an abstract superclass with a public get_name() and a protected print_name(), I could easily get everything to work.  The problem is that I don't want an abstract superclass.  It would have several subclasses that I would like to be unrelated (because I eventually want to compose them using mixins or MI).
My idea is that I will compose a concrete class, and somewhere in that class or in a superclass, something will implement get_name().  That concrete class will want a set of utility functions, but those utility functions shouldn't be part of the interface.

A: Yes, you can.
Just make your CRTP base class friend of your class, and the downcast will work again:
template <class T>
class NameMethods {
public:

  void print_name() const {
     std::cout << static_cast<const T&>(*this).get_name() << std::endl;
  }

};

class MyClass: private NameMethods<MyClass>
{
public:
    std::string get_name() const { return "MyClass";}
    void get_info() const
    {
        print_name();
    }
private:
    friend class NameMethods<MyClass>;
};

int main()
{
    MyClass c;
    c.get_info();

    return 0;
}

New DTC toolkit // October 30, 2019 ■ 4 min read
Why West Elm is partnering with a weighted blanket brand
By Cale Guthrie Weissman
West Elm's latest collaboration with weighted blanket company Bearaby is another example of the company seeking out strategic partnerships to grow its business.
The furniture retailer has forged a partnership with Bearaby, which makes knitted, weighted blankets. The two have made a joint weighted blanket line that will be available for purchase online — as well as featured in five West Elm locations. It shows the Williams-Sonoma-owned brand looking more toward partnerships in its attempt to stay relevant and grow.
For West Elm, this collaboration is an extension of how it approaches complementary products. The company has worked with local makers on Etsy since 2011, featuring certain sellers on its site. "We've been in this business for some time," said Dru Ortega, West Elm's director of PR and influencer marketing.
For years, West Elm has sought out smaller businesses to feature in its stores and website; "This has long been a part of our strategy when it comes to supporting brands and like-minded customers," said Ortega. While it's true that West Elm has a bigger reach than Bearaby, it is also seeking out these partnerships strategically. Williams Sonoma, at its most recent earnings report, described West Elm as its "biggest growth opportunity." While the brand's revenue has seen steady growth — it's looked toward smaller partnerships in areas slightly outside of its domain to keep business apace. A partnership with a small but trendy direct-to-consumer brand is as much West Elm helping another business to grow as it is West Elm looking to diversify customer acquisition by entering adjacent markets while not building the product itself.
West Elm's criteria for collaborating with a smaller — generally DTC — company is based primarily on whether the product would be complementary to the overall retail experience. "It also comes down to making sure our values are aligned," he added.
Bearaby, which is less than a year old, has remained bootstrapped. It's grown with the trend of weighted blankets — thanks to players like Gravity and Helix. It didn't invest in digital marketing, and instead rode the PR wave. Bearaby's founder Kathrin Hamm sent out the product to editors and outlets and it ended up getting featured in a bunch of news articles. "Weighted blankets became such a hype," Hamm said. "That got us a lot of traction."
Up until now, the company has remained staunchly DTC, mostly because it didn't have the bandwidth for rapid expansion. But West Elm contacted Hamm — she said thought the initial outreach was from a scammer posing at West Elm — when it began doing research into the weighted blanket space. Once Hamm deemed the inquiry real, the two began talking last year, which resulted in this current collaboration. The company has built its own line with West Elm, using feedback from the company's design team about colors that would go with the store's overall aesthetic. Over the last month, Hamm and her team have been getting ready for the expanded stock and being nationally available. "It's a lot for a small company," she said.
Sofas, Ortega said, are a product that requires people to touch and understand it; for a product like Bearaby — which is made with heavy knitted fabric to make it more breathable — a similar tactile experience is part of the overall education. "People want to sit on a sofa and feel what it's made of — understand the fabrication of it," he said. Bearaby often requires that kind of interaction too, making it "a nice symbiotic relationship."
While this is a smaller collaboration, it fits into the overall program West Elm has been building for years. Last March it announced a partnership with Rent The Runway to offer its products on the rental platform. In 2017, West Elm forged another partnership with the mattress company Leesa to sell its products in its stores.
"For us, this is an extension of what we've already been doing," Ortega said. He added that West Elm "has another partnership in the works that's very similar."
For Hamm, this puts her small business into overdrive. "This changes our trajectory," she said. She hasn't raised venture capital, but to keep with demand things may change. "It's a lot of work to go into retail so small," she said. "We had to have a lot of things in place."

Bruce Power statement on demolition of Nanticoke Generating Station
Yesterday, the two tall stacks at the Nanticoke coal-fired generating station came tumbling down.
OPG's Nanticoke Generating Station was once the largest coal-fired power plant in the world, with a total capacity of 4,000 megawatts at its peak operation. Throughout the late 1990s, Nanticoke provided a significant amount of Ontario's baseload power, while much of the former Ontario Hydro's nuclear assets were laid up.
It was also one of the largest air polluters in North America and a source of greenhouse gas emissions, smog pollutants, and toxic heavy metals. The station burned its last piece of coal on Dec. 31, 2013.
Bruce Power is proud of its role in phasing out coal in Ontario. Over the past decade, with the innovative return to service of all four units at Bruce A, Bruce Power has provided 70 per cent of the carbon-free energy Ontario required to achieve this goal.
Replacing coal-fired electricity generation remains the single largest climate change initiative undertaken in North America, and was the equivalent of taking up to 7 million cars off the road and has helped reduce the number of smog days in Ontario from 53 in 2005 to 0 in 2015.
By returning 3,000 megawatts of safe, reliable electricity to Ontario's grid, Bruce Power has played a major role in this important environmental and health initiative. With such a reliable supply of clean energy being provided by the Bruce site, the future is bright for the health of Ontario residents. Cleaner air in the province has meant improved health outcomes for our most vulnerable citizens, including those who live with asthma and other breathing issues.
In 2016, Bruce Power and the Asthma Society of Canada released a joint report titled 'Clean Air Ontario 2016' to mark the one-year anniversary of the Province of Ontario passing legislation to permanently ban coal-fired electricity. The report identifies both the clean air and economic benefits of this landmark achievement.

11/27-12/1 – Highlights of the Week!
Here are some highlights of the week! 6th grade had a great Town Hall on Friday - positive, fun, and informative, led by Josh and Glen's crews! 7th grade Social Studies PBAT roundtables were a success! The students were nervous and excited to talk to school staff, parents, and high schoolers about their learning and the PBAT writing process. Alex and Glen were so proud to see the students passionately explaining their positions, and especially enjoyed hearing students continue to discuss the topic of La Malinche and the conquest, explaining the sources and images on the table, even after the formal roundtable had ended. Our 7th grade band continues to practice with persistence every other day with teacher/band leader Christine P! Our BCS Library staff (Library Media Specialists Amanda C and Susan) continue to match awesome books to our students. Here is the first book review in our Library Podcast Club - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bcs-reads/id1299115881?mt=2. Our LG Book Club meets 12/8, focusing on The Wild Robot this month. On Fri 12/1, we held our monthly Family Breakfast around the theme of mindfulness and helping students to manage stress. Counselor Deb set up a calming centerpiece (similar to what is used in student crews) for parents. On Tues 11/28, we hosted four other schools (ALC- Park Place, Opportunity Charter School, South Bronx Community Charter School, and EPIC High School) all day in an intervisitation focused on sharing best practices around restorative practices. Guests did walkthroughs in academic classes and crews, participated in a student and staff panel, and learned about our staff crew and crewlympics structures to build community.

Q: Alaskan Bears Probability One of the popular tourist attractions in Alaska
is watching black bears catch salmon swimming upstream
to spawn. Not all "black" bears are black, though—
some are tan-colored. Suppose that six black bears and
three tan-colored bears are working the rapids of a
salmon stream. Over the course of an hour, six different
bears are sighted. What is the probability that those six
include at least twice as many black bears as tan-colored
bears?
I don't understand how to do this problem, i know i have to use hypo geometric distribution but i don't know how. There was another post like this question but the answer given unfortunately didn't help

A: So a very partial solution and hint due to lack of time, not in unbearable danger though. Will expand later ( wished there was a way to save partial answers )
First part of the problem is to decide how much is required for "at least twice as many". We can write this as equation system
$$\begin{align}x+y =& 6\\y - 2x \geq& 0\end{align}$$
If we solve the system with equality, we get $x = 2, y = 4$.
So $y\geq4$ which means $y\in\{4,5,6\}$
Then we check how the hypergeometric distribution works.

Outings polarizing can control was passing Womens Forrest Lamp Jersey

If there's anything you ever want to see in this column, please feel free to email me or send me a tweet. The better perspective to have is to Basketball Jerseys For Sale focus on stocks of companies with the best business Nike http://www.buccaneersofficialauthenticshop.com/Authentic-Jamel-Dean-Jersey NFL Jerseys Wholesale prospects and then hold onto them for the long run. I'm very happy, and so proud that I can stay with this organization. This is still inarguably the most talented team in the conference, but it's sort of UNC-lite in how it seems to give away a game here or there that it shouldn't. It has been a disappointing season overall for the 26-year-old, who owns a Womens Jamel Dean Jersey 4 ERA, 1 WHIP and 7 K 9, which are some of the worst marks of his career. This won't be a big loss for New York, as Hicks hasn't played Baseball Jerseys For Sale much of a role within the rotation all season even when healthy. To have it happen in hallowed Montreal was even a tougher pill to swallow. Also, the number of tickets available may vary per game depending on the number of donations we receive. The lack of consistency was the knock on Peters' time with the Hurricanes. I would be working hard on my three-point shot if I signed a bonus with incentives worth $250 a piece to take 185 three-pointers and shoot 37 percent, too. Games are a whole different story and that showed on Thursday night. The Rockies said X-rays on his right ankle were negative, and the club had yet to determine the severity of the injury. He joined Dan Bylsma, who hoisted the Stanley Cup as coach of Pittsburgh in 2009, and Ted Nolan as coaches dismissed by the Pegulas after only two seasons. A few Womens Forrest Lamp Jersey weeks later, Porter had a game with 29 points on 12-of-15 shots.
On the season, he is Nike NFL Jerseys Wholesale slashing .284 .533 with 21 home runs and 64 runs batted in. Other teams paid close attention as Daniels' Baseball Jerseys For Sale three-point totals flourished in the D-League, but no one made the signing. , 'Oh, they should have did this. Broke his own franchise record for the most receiving yards through the first nine games of Jerseys China a season Wholesale Jerseys Paypal in franchise history Caught a single-game career-high 12 passes for 147 receiving yards vs. I heard that stat, too. I don't know if it will be speaking. Dejan Vasiljevic and Anthony Lawrence had double-doubles and Miami used MLB Baseball Jerseys stout defense to break a five-game losing streak by beating the Fighting Irish 62 Wednesday. You just don't ever want to see something like that happen but thankful I got to go see him and Liz and their family. Of course, there's always the chance the Patriots trade out of the No. The announcement was made in simultaneous news conferences in Washington, Brussels, Santiago, Shanghai, Taipei and Tokyo.
He added four assists in 12 postseason games with the Leafs, but eventually returned http://www.proshopsofficialwhitesox.com/James_Mccann_Jersey to the Hurricanes as their general manager Wholesale Jerseys Paypal – a post he holds today.
For 2018 and for those married people filing jointly, the tax rates are as follows: Those making less than $77 will pay a long-term capital gains rate of 0%; those with ordinary income of $77 to $479 will pay 15%; and those earning $479 and higher will pay 20%:

Despite the success of the Datsun name, management made the decision in 1981 to phase it out and focus on developing Jerseys China the Nissan brand instead;
When MLB Baseball Jerseys Drury was on the ice, you Womens James McCann Jersey were watching a guy who was giving every fiber of his being on every single shift. Ekblad continues to produce around the same level that he's been at during four of his five seasons, with 34 points through 72 games so far.

After launching the three door and five door variants of the 4th generation, 2015 Mini Cooper hatchback in India, the BMW group owned, British sporty hatchback brand is all set to bring the high performance Cooper S variant to the country. The new Mini Cooper S hatchback is said to be lined up for a March 2015 launch here. To be sold as a three door variant to emphasize on its sporty intent, the car will be imported as a completely built unit (CBU). While Mini also sells the 5 door variant of the Cooper S internationally, the larger version of the car is intended for buyers who seek practicality mixed with sporty.
For the Indian car market, the diesel powered 5 door Mini fulfils practicaly considerations, leaving the Cooper S free to pursue the "Joy of Driving" so to speak. A price tag of about 36 lakh rupees, ex-showroom Delhi, is said to be on the cards, making it the most expensive Mini variant. Under the hood will be the most powerful engine ever to grace a Mini hatchback sold in India, in the form of the 2 liter-4 cylinder turbocharged petrol motor outputting 189 Bhp-300 Nm.This engine will be paired to a six speed automatic gearbox that drives the front wheels of the car. The 2015 Cooper S will also be the fastest Mini in India, with a 6.7 second timing for the 0-100 Kph sprint, and a 233 Kph top speed.
Aimed squarely at driving enthusiasts, the Cooper S' latest iteration will be positioned above the upcoming Fiat Abarth 500 Competizione. The 2015 Mini range of hatchbacks are now underpinned by the BMW UKL platform, which will eventually be used by a bunch of entry-level cars bearing the German marque propeller badge. Lightness, parts sharing and downsized turbo petrol and diesel engines are the UKL platform's many new strengths. In due course of time, the Convertible and Countryman body styles will join the 2015 Mini line up globally, and these cars will be sold in India as well.

Edit: I have noticed my rails-3.2.12 gems directory is empty. There is not files inside. Is there any thing to worry about for this ?

A: Its being long time, I am able to resolve my problem. It was due incompatibility of rails, jruby versioning problem. I was migrated my application from very older version of rails ie 2.2.3 version of rails.
Finally i did the hack created new application using new rails 3.2.12 and deployed it successfully on tomcat with the help of Warbler. There is another ariticle to help for deployment on tomcat is here.
Another important point is in you tomcat directory don't give any white space in the path. for eg. C:\apache\apache tomcat-7.0.57\ this will make your application fail, instead you can give C:\apache\apache-tomcat-7.0.57. Make sure there is no spaces between the names.
