Leave a Comment / Yukoners / By Tamara Neely / Champagne-Aishihik First Nations, Arts & Culture, Beading
As nine-year-old Alexis Crystal Jim focuses on picking up a brilliant blue bead with her sewing needle and fastening it to a piece of hide, the women several decades older than her chat and laugh and sew. And as the time flies by, the little girl soaks up traditional knowledge and the Southern Tutchone language spoken around her. There, among women supporting her – and supporting each other – she's also learning about the warm comfort of her kin.
Jim comes with her grandmother to the sewing group, which takes place every Monday and Wednesday at the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations (CAFN) administration building in downtown Whitehorse. The sewing and language class is free to all CAFN members and their families.
Val Fromme is not of First Nation heritage, but her husband is. And so are their children. She feels at home in the sewing circle and over the past few years she has been learning the First Nation style of beadwork.
On Feb. 13 she once again joined the six women at the table for the class she has become so fond of.
"I really like the end product and the process, but I particularly like hanging out with these women and listening to their stories and learning these new techniques of sewing," Fromme says.
Jim's grandmother, Bertha Moose, is an instructor of the sewing group, along with Lorraine Allen.
"They give us this space to revitalize the First Nation traditional artwork," Allen says. She points to Jim, pulling thread through the thick hide. "She's learning. And she does a good job."
Jim's first project was a beaded leather cardholder for bankcards and such. She gave that one to her Mom, now she's making one for her aunt and her plan is to make another for her grandmother.
"Then I'm going to sell them," she says. "I like making projects. It's fun."
"It's good to see younger kids sew," Moose says. "That's how young we started sewing. I've been sewing for a long time. I was taught by my grandmother and my mother."
Then the knowledge started missing generations.
Tina Grant is of Champagne heritage and her great grandmother used to make beadwork, but she just picked up beading four years ago.
And she's picked it up in a big way. She has exhausted the local supplies of bead colours and has been ordering them through the internet to get an inspiring new array.
"I've invested a lot of money in beads, but I've given a lot away as gifts," she says. "But when I see my work, it gives me more money to buy more beads."
For Grant beading is not about tapping into the culture of her family, rather, it's a hypnotic way to pass the time – and create something useful and beautiful.
"It's just a hobby," Grant says. "I enjoy it; it relaxes me. I really love sewing and beading and being productive."
Three years ago the class started with beginners and now the women are not only giving away their work as handsome gifts, but also selling it and taking custom orders.
The free sewing and language class meets every Monday and Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the CAFN administration building in downtown Whitehorse.

Q: why should the p-values be uniform when the null is true? I am reading about the False Discovery Rate and Bonferroni and I found in various places that under H0 (true null) the distribution of p-values (for the test that rejects H0) should be uniform.
Can someone tell me why it would be the case?
Thanks!

A: Consider a one-sided test that rejects if the statistic $X$ is too small.
If under the null hypothesis $X$ follows a distribution with CDF $F_X$, then the p-value is $F_X(X)$, the probability of obtaining an even smaller value. You can check that plugging in a random variable into its own CDF leads to a uniform random variable:
$$P(F_X(X) \le t) = P(X \le F_X^{-1}(t)) = F_X(F_X^{-1}(t)) = t, \qquad t \in [0,1].$$
This observation is used in inverse transform sampling.

A: Surprisingly, this isn't actually a duplicate on this site.  It is however well answered in more detail on CrossValidated:
https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/435833/the-distribution-of-the-p-values-under-the-null-hypothesis-is-uniform0-1 .
The p-value is defined to be the probability of obtaining test results at least as extreme as those actually observed (when H0 is true).  Thus, about 5% of the time, the calculated statistic should be < 5%.  And this is holds for all values:  about x fraction of the time, the p-value should be under x.  The CDF is linear between 0 and 1, which is just the uniform distribution on (0,1).

Two years ago, Camden Coalition teamed up with national software platform Aunt Bertha to launch My Camden Resources, a free search tool for social services available to Camden residents. Since its launch, the site has averaged 1,000 to 2,000 searches per month, providing Camden County providers and residents up-to-date information on how to access local resources — anything from housing to childcare to job placement services, and more. The Coalition has now worked with our local community partners and Aunt Bertha to make our biggest improvement to date: we've regionally expanded the online search tool beyond Camden County limits to include resources located in Burlington and Gloucester counties. Users now have easy access to an even greater number of resources that can help them meet their needs.
Since expanding geographically, we've changed its name from My Camden Resources to My Resource Pal. We wanted to make sure new users in Burlington and Gloucester county understood the tool was for more than just Camden county residents. To ensure the recently added resources have been accurately incorporated, we are reaching out to the new programs listed in My Resource Pal so they can manage their listings, ensure that their pages are up-to-date, and provide clear instructions to the public on how to access their services.
In addition to the expanded reach, My Resource Pal now features functionalities that will allow clinical providers participating in our Accountable Health Communities model to screen patients for health-related social needs and provide referrals to community service providers who can potentially address their needs. As part of a five-year initiative of the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation, the Camden Coalition is partnering with clinical and community service providers serving these three counties to screen Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries for a range of social needs: housing instability, food instability, utility needs, interpersonal violence, and transportation. Patients who screen positive for at least one health-related social need will receive a referral summary, printed out from my Resource Pal, of community service providers who can address their identified needs. To lead up to the official launch of our Accountable Health Communities model in August, the Coalition is currently piloting My Resource Pal with a small number of clinical providers and their patients.
To learn more about My Resource Pal or find out how your organization can get involved, visit our webpage or contact [email protected]. Visit https://myresourcepal.org to look for services near you. To claim your organization's listing, visit https://myresourcepal.org/find_a_program.


Now for the 'new' albums I've just picked up.
Major outage when they insisted that I had to be switched from Frame Relay to ATM, for "reliability"
Outage for several days to replace a DSL modem that I'd had for less than a year.
Guess Kevin J. Martin is doing his job guaranteeing that the free market gives us the best possible broadband choices.
The "Central Office" called yesterday to say that the problem was fixed. Of course it wasn't. Jean was home yesterday, and she called tech support again, did the hour-long diagnostic two-step, and finally got the answer, "your modem is failing." Again. After it was replaced seven months ago. Maybe if Verizon put a little more quality into their equipment, they wouldn't have to spend so much money on tech support.
And, we're back. Got the new DSL modem, hooked it up, configured it, and encountered the annoying redirect to Verizon portal page. This has happened each time I've had a major problem. Just when I think I'm done, I have to call Verizon tech support again to have them walk me through the secret backdoor to turn off the stupid redirect. I think I know how to do it myself now, but it's just damned annoying that they put hurdle after hurdle in your way for a product you've paid for.
I'm not even sure anyone will be able to read this for awhile, but I'll record it for my own amusement.
This morning I was awoken by cats, and the first thing I hear upon getting up is "my keyboard won't work." Jean has been trying to log into her computer in the dining room, but it doesn't seem to want to take input. So I wandered into the dining area, and began tapping on keys. It turns out that the 'escape' key and the caps lock key both work. So I rebooted in 'safe mode' (hold down the shift key while rebooting, to disable non-Apple extensions), and that worked, so I now knew that the shift key worked as well. But I was still unable to use the alphanumeric keys.
Now I decided to unplug every peripheral but the keyboard and the mouse (which coincidentally continued to work throughout the entire ordeal). One of the things I unplugged was Renee's graphics pad. Reboot, and magically, the keyboard began working! Jean guessed that the graphics pad was somehow interfering with the keyboard, and I'm happy to go with that for now.
Second experience, I went to my own computer and started up the web browser, which is set to go directly to www.terebi2.org. Instead it failed to find the page, and Verizon 'helpfully' stepped in with a search page saying terebi2 "does not exist or is not available!", instead of allowing the 404. I tried pinging the URL, and got "PING web2.fwd.easydns.com (66.150.2.134): 56 data bytes" with zero throughput. I did a whois, and yes, I still own the domain. I know I am paid up with the ISP who hosts the webpages, so I went to easydns to check. I can log in, and I'm paid up. But, they record that they've been under a Denial of Service (DOS) attack since yesterday.
They claim that they've mostly fixed the problem, but I know from experience that it takes awhile for the name forwarding to propagate again, hence Verizon's claim that this site doesn't exist. I only get to the article posting page because it links directly to the ISP. So I hope that this post will be visible before the weekend is out, otherwise I'll have to play hot potato with Easydns and Verizon as to who is responsible.
Hope you see me soon!
As noted in the first comment to this post, Mark Jeftovic, a techie for easyDNS, actually tracked down my post (I left no help message after figuring out what was happening). He actually left me an email explaining in greater detail what had happened. When I asked how he'd spotted my post, he told me he has a buncha search tools that look for mentions of easyDNS. Pretty neat.
Adam, thanks for confirming visibility. I'll have to log onto the IRC channel soon and catch up with you.
Lisa, you use Windows, right? Interesting to see that similar peripherals can give headaches on that platform and Mac OS X. Anyway, I am back online. Good to get feedback from all of you.
Renee and I completed Zombie Loan. About what you'd expect, Renee and I had fun with it, and are now feeding on the trickle of Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro.
For myself, I have finished Kaze no Stigma. I'm not really sure why I stuck with it, as it was pretty pedestrian, but I did. I continue to watch Akagi and Kaiji, dabble in Denno Coil, and truck on with Dragonaut, Ghost Hound and Moyashimon. New series include Shigofumi and Persona. Latest, still pending a decision on how long I'll watch, is Hatenkou Yugi.

Q: Static Public IP I am having a problem to get a static public IP. I am using a residential internet connection from a local provider and the provided IP may be a shared connection. When I change my router the provided public IP change automatically. I have configured three computers though my router, all of them have the same public IP. But I am getting failed to open my port 80 in the router when i am trying set my own hosting website. I am using d-link dir-615 firmwire 20.22 n300 router. It doesn't have port forwarding option but vertual server. I have opened port 80 in my router and in inbound rules but when i check the port open or not it says connection refused. I have configured the firewall as default for Domain, Private and Public and the IE enhanced security configuration in server manager is turned off. How can I solve this problem to open my port 80 in the router ? How can I get a Public IP only for me ?

A: Generally speaking, residential internet service providers (ISPs) do not give static IP addresses to home users.  They have a block of dynamically assigned IPs.  If you want a static IP, you will have to pay for a "business" class of service.  Similarly, port 80 is often blocked for residential customers, as running a web server is a business use in the ISPs eyes.  If you want to use port 80, more than likely you will have to pay for a "business" class service.  Obviously, contact your ISP and/or others servicing your area to see what is offered.


3 January 2017. Nontombi Gwam the mother of Letoya, the three year old child who died in an ambulance, becomes emotional during talks at a press conference on the incident In Daveyton, Ekurhuleni. The toddler was being transported from Incredible Happenings Ministry where Pastor Mboro was giving a service.
The family of a toddler who died while seeking medical help on Christmas Eve in Ekurhuleni has called on parliament to investigate the circumstances around her death.
"We are very hurt. This needs to go to parliament. Parliament needs to investigate why paramedics did not do their job'" said Ayanda Klaas' the uncle of three-year-old Latoya' at her memorial service at Incredible Happenings Ministry in Katlehong on Thursday.
"If it was not for their negligence' the child would still be alive. I'm bleeding' Latoya's parents are bleeding' because the health department failed to do its job. They failed us."
Latoya's mother' Nontombi Gwam' said previously that she first took her daughter' who was ill' to Daveyton Main Clinic but claimed that she was unable to find appropriate help. She then went to a private doctor and afterwards' when the child became restless' took her to Prophet Paseka Motsoeneng' known as Pastor Mboro.
Motsoeneng prayed for the child and called for an ambulance. When the ambulance finally arrived' there were arguments between Mboro and paramedics. The details of what happened at the church are under investigation.
Mavis Lungu' a teacher at the creche Latoya attended' described her as a quiet child.
Gwam held a media briefing at her home in Daveyton' Ekurhuleni' on Wednesday to speak about the loss of her child.
"Latoya was very quiet. She would only look at you and smile. She would remain in class when other children went outside to play."
There were conflicting accounts of whether the child died at Motsoeneng's church or in an ambulance that was taking her to hospital.
Motsoeneng on Thursday slammed media reports that he had assaulted paramedics and that the child had died inside his church.
"The child did not die at church. She died in an ambulance. The question journalists should be asking is when did paramedics arrive?"
He asked Gwam to tell the congregation where her daughter had died.
"She died in an ambulance'" she said.
"I understand why people beat paramedics. Do I condone it? No'" Motsoeneng said.


Herbal congee is rice porridge cooked with Chinese herbs for the purpose of building immunity and regulating bodily functions.
The Chinese like to use rice porridge as a base and add different ingredients to create a comforting dish. These herbal congee recipes uses a few common Chinese herbs such as goji berries, ginkgo nuts and hawthorn. Pleasant to the palate yet therapeutic.
All in the name of good health.
Do not peel the apple. The skin helps it keep its shape during the cooking process.
Hawthorn is well-known as a weight loss ingredient. It aids digestion by increasing digestive enzymes. The idea is that if you are well-nourished, you will be less inclined to over-eat. Do you agree?
The glutinous rice can be replaced with plain rice white rice although it is better at countering the acidity of the hawthorn.
This is a sweet herbal congee recipe, so can be served as a light refreshing dessert or snack.
The beancurd sheets used here are the thin fragile type, not the type used for wraps. The pith of the ginkgo nuts must be removed. They are bitter and slightly poisonous. Halve the nuts and remove the green centres. If you don't have rock sugar, use plain sugar although rock sugar is nicer (^_^).
Beancurd sheet and ginkgo nuts is a classic pair in chinese sweet desserts.
This herbal congee can be made using a slow cooker or over the stove. Ginseng is hailed as the King of herbs and is a very well-known Chinese herb. There are 3 basic types: white ginseng, American ginseng and the Korean ginseng. It can be frightfully expensive so we shall use the cheaper ginseng roots. Alternatively, use a ginseng tea bag.
Lamb, rice, water and ginseng are all ingredients for a warming and comforting ginseng lamb porridge for a new mother.
This can be a good leftover lamb recipe too. Substitute the lamb fillet with the leftover lamb. Dice or shred the cooked lamb before adding to the rice porridge.
This lotus seed porridge is made up of rice congee, lotus seeds and black fungus.
Lotus seed 莲子 (lian zi) is the seed of the lotus plant. You know, the plant growing in ponds with the big white flowers and round leaves. Almost every part of this plant can be eaten. It is commonly cooked and ground into a smooth paste and used as a filling for a number of Chinese pastries and desserts. A famous example is the mooncake 月饼 (yue bing).
This sweet congee is easier to cook in a slow cooker. Both black glutinous rice and dried longans are good for people suffering from anaemia.


BanglaCricket Forum > Cricket > Cricket > FIRE PAPON THE PUPPY!
View Full Version : FIRE PAPON THE PUPPY!
No head coach. 8 months plus.
No U-19 tours over 2 years.
Lack of A team tours.
Talks too much in the media like his aunt Hasina!
For how long will he keep his position by force?
I thought that Papon was more of a koala bear than a puppy.
Chinese looking puppy needs to gl and take alomg his big dady Walj with him.
Please go? Lol, no one goes like that in BD. You have to make them go. But everyone knows Papon can't be removed so no one talks about it.
Papon ain't going anywhere. He has very strong political clout and all the directors he put in his place are now his chamchas. So don't expect any change in BCB anytime soon.
Saber Hossain - Former BCB President pointed out many times how Papon was appointed as president of BCB based on a illegal constitution. This guy is holding on to power! That to illegally.
I don't expect anything else from someone who has bloodline of Sheikh Hasina.
They lock up opposition to hold on to power!
This Papon needs to be sacked! At least the fans need to Unite and see his fraudulent behaviour!
This Papon guy must go! An absolute total garbage - leading (read collapsing) a cricket board (read team) to the dust! He has NO-ZERO-NADA capability to lead the BCB org and has NO ability to contribute anything POSITIVE in the development of Bangladesh Cricket!
What a shame, Papon dude, you are!
Heheheh...Masu bhai, now you found it...Papon may be Philippino! Ay Papi Ay!
To be honest he has been better than most of the previous BCB presidents. His stocks went low in the last year or so for meddling with the team selection too much and now the head coach hunting saga. But we don't know what we will get after him.
Careful what you say, Papon might "take you out"
on a nice dinner date.
Just like the cricket team, the country has been $hit too. There has been a few tall buildings and a 7% G.D.P but aside from that, everything is bad. Just like BCB who is having record profits but poor performances on the field.
Papon aka Pappu is the REAL Papi! Paap baba-keo chhairbe naa!
- Saber H Choudhury tweeted the above now.
Did you not say we will have regional associations within a month up and running? Like 5 months ago???
I was reading recent twitter blast by ex-BCB head Saber Chowdhury, he is totally unimpressed by recent board. SOme posters in BDNews24 questioned the validity of positions held by Shujon paying him a whooping 2.5 lac per month.
Yes. This is what Saber said in response to my tweet.
Yes, he along with his cronies @BCBtigers Board must accept responsibility and resign. More than an individual, BCB needs to be rebuilt as an institution that is transparent with hi standards of governance and not be the biz syndicate it has become.
I am his highness's dog at Kew; / Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?
Engraved on the collar of a dog belonging to the Prince of Wales a couple centuries ago.
This Papon Loser got to go!
Sporty, thank you for sharing the Saber Hossain twit about Shujan and whole inept board (BCB)!
Current BCB admins, starting from Papon - Pathetic, shameless and most unprofessional to say the least!

Stadt Gernrode är en tidigare stad och kurort i förbundslandet Sachsen-Anhalt i Tyskland, på den norra sluttningen av Harz. Staden uppgick i kommunen Quedlinburg den 1 januari 2014 och hade  invånare 2013.

I Gernrode finns en station på det smalspåriga järnvägsnätet Harzer Schmalspurbahnen.

Stift Gernrode
Gernrode var ursprungligen ett riksfurstligt nunnekloster som grundades 960. Abbedissorna av Gernrode var regerande furstar som var riksomedelbara, enbart underställda kejsaren, och hade som sådana säte i Tysk-romerska rikets riksdag.

Huset Anhalt infogade 1610–1614 stiftet i sitt eget territorium; den sista abbedissan lämnade sin post 1614.

Stiftskyrkan St. Cyriakus, som fortfarande finns kvar, är ett betydelsefullt minnesmärke från medeltidens byggnadskonst.

Alex Pryce, "Ambiguous Silences? Women in Anthologies of Contemporary Northern Irish Poetry", Peer English 9 (2014).
This article considers how anthologies of poetry published in the contemporary era in Northern Ireland can be seen as agents of exclusion for women writers at the same time as these anthologies were effectively instating a post– 1960s canon and restating a generational dimension for which poetry from the North of Ireland would become known. In drawing on the broad context of anthology publication, this article examines how female poets are absent from an otherwise thriving literary culture.

Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump's former lawyer, recently testified before the House Oversight and Reform Committee, on Capitol Hill in Washington. via social media, he tweeted , "there should be no Mueller report". The decision is left to Trump's hand-picked attorney general, unless Congress acts.
A courtroom sketch from November 2018 shows Cesar Sayoc , who pleaded guilty in NY on Thursday to sending bombs to media figures and to critics of President Trump. The first of the bombs was discovered October 22 in a mailbox at an estate in New York City's northern suburbs owned by the billionaire George Soros , a liberal political activist and frequent subject of conspiracy theories.
And as President Trump said on Tuesday, the United States can be "a lot tougher if we need to". Mr Guaido said that Mr Marrero had been taken by Sebin, the Venezuelan intelligence agency, and was being detained at an unknown location. aid. Guaido contends that he is the rightful leader of Venezuela and that Maduro's re-election past year was illegitimate because major opposition figures were not allowed to run.
To underscore his concern about whether unsecured White House communications have included classified information, Cummings said in the letter that Kushner's lawyer, Abbe Lowell , acknowledged during a meeting with committee leaders in December that Kushner had used the messaging application WhatsApp to communicate with foreign leaders.

Transport Minister Dagmawit Moges told journalists that a preliminary report would be released within 30 days. There are " clear similarities " between the Ethiopian Airlines crash that killed 157 people last week and the Lion Air crash in October, which involved the same aircraft.
Tarrant, described by Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison as an "extremist, right-wing, violent terrorist", will re-appear in court on April 5. A government-funded gun buyback and a virtual ban on owning semi-automatic rifles cut private gun ownership by nearly a third. Tarrant has been charged with murder over the worst modern-day massacre in New Zealand in which 50 people were killed at two mosques in Christchurch on Friday.
Tarrant has been described as a suspected white supremacist, based on his social media activity. Witness Len Peneha said he saw a man dressed in black enter the mosque and then heard dozens of shots, followed by people running from the mosque in terror.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the shooter, an Australian native, had chosen to strike in New Zealand "because we represent diversity, kindness, compassion". In 2014, police estimated there were up to 1.2 million legal firearms in civilian ownership, or around one for every four members of the public - twice the per capita number of guns in Australia.
Seven cabinet ministers - Ms Truss, Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay, International Trade Secretary Liam Fox, International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt, Commons leader Andrea Leadsom, Transport Secretary Chris Grayling and Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson - voted against the government motion.
The reputed boss of the US Gambino crime family was shot to death in front of his NY home by a gunman who may have staged a vehicle accident to lure him outside, dying a virtual unknown compared with his swaggering 1980s-era predecessor, John Gotti .
According to the time frame outlined, a national conference supposed to "represent all the currents of the society" must fix a date for the next presidential election and to present, at the end of 2019, a new constitution which will be put to a popular referendum.
The pilots said they were able to recover quickly following the aggressive dive - descending as fast as 1,500 feet per minute - by disconnecting the autopilot. The National Transportation Safety Board and the FAA are both at the crash site in Ethiopia, Chao said. Boeing sank 5.3% to US$400.01 at the close in NY, the biggest decline since 29 October, the day of the Lion Air crash.
According to the state's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation death row list (pdf), 737 inmates were slated to be executed prior to the executive order. In fact, the murder rate in states with the death penalty is consistently higher than in states without it. The last time an inmate was executed in California was in 2006 under Gov.
After the case against Ms Aisyah thrown out, she was quickly ushered out of the courtroom and into a waiting vehicle.

While the president's budget is unlikely to be implemented, the document does carry some weight as a signal of Trump's desires, including money to expand barriers along the USA border with Mexico . Trump signed that budget deal, but the White House is signaling that it will not look favorably on a similar dollar-for-dollar increase this year.

T-Mobile got the ball rolling with an initial donation of $250,000 to Pay Away the Layaway to support families in need by paying off their layaway balances at military exchanges and retail locations. Then, starting on Giving Tuesday November 30 and through December 14, T-Mobile is inviting everyone to join us in our Season of Giving to help us give even more – here's how:
On Giving Tuesday (11/30), customers can contribute through the T-Mobile Tuesdays app with a simple click! We will donate $1 per click to Pay Away the Layaway (up to $300,000).
Throughout the entire Season of Giving (11/30-12/14),anyonecan join in by retweeting @TMobile's #TMobileGivesBack post. We will donate $5 per retweet to Pay Away the Layaway (up to $200,000).
In addition to receiving 1:1 donation matching and $10 per hour in donation funds for volunteering available to them year-round, each T-Mobile employee will receive an additional $20 from the T-Mobile Foundation to donate to the charity of their choice. PLUS, as employees give back to their communities, they will be unlocking additional T-Mobile donations to Pay Away the Layaway (up to $250,000).
When You Give, We Give
"Our Season of Giving is all about coming together during a time of year that should be joyous, but is often challenging for far too many families….and we want to make a difference for those who may need a little help," said Janice V. Kapner, T-Mobile Chief Communications and Brand Officer. "We want it to be easy for everyone to help give back, so just one click or tweet can really make a difference. It's community supporting community – and we hope everyone will join us!"

Growing mobility and logistics in the course of urbanisation are understood as the cause of the problem and are made part of the solution. The aim is to simplify the everyday lives of city dwellers by intelligent and environmentally friendly services. The portfolio containing all of the services and offerings that are necessary to create a single, intelligent network between transport infrastructures, mobility and logistics. The synergies connecting these products ensure they can become practical additions to existing infrastructures, and they have a particularly important role to play in the first and last miles of a journey.
Giving everyone flexible access to mobility – the ioki mission.
Building on mobility analytics, ioki knows the right way to deliver successful on-demand mobility, integrated into existing public transport services and always with an eye to the future of autonomous driving. End customers can use an app to order this dynamic shuttle service when they need it, and it operates without a predefined timetable or routes. As an addition to public transport, ioki represents an intelligent solution for providing transport on the first and last miles of a journey.
ioki is a white label solution that provides a total package, consisting of mobility analysis, an operating system for on-demand mobility, and consulting for planning and launching operations. Vehicle concepts are all designed to complement one another and be combined in a flexible manner.
Electric scooters expand the Smart City | DB mobility offering. eScooter sharing creates a multi-modal link with the on-demand service from ioki. Together, they complement local public transport services for first- and last-mile travel. For example, users can book a shuttle to the station, then board a train to their destinations, and then take an eScooter to ride home at the end of their journey.
Everything is managed via an app, and the e-scooter offering matches the individual user's mobility needs by combining the speed of a car with a vehicle that has more reach than a bicycle. And there's more: users will never need to hunt for a parking space.
To create appealing locations in the heart of our towns and cities, Smart City | DB aims to enhance the attractiveness of stations further. Safety and cleanliness are essential if a space is to guarantee quality of experience. Smart City | DB's goal is to generate a positive atmosphere. This entails the use of appropriate colour schemes, lighting and furnishings, and it also includes plans for greenery at stations.
Alongside the enhanced appeal of these sites, the project also focuses on developing and implementing new usage concepts such as coworking, smart lockers and multi-use pop-up spaces. Together, these can turn stations into places that are at the heart of our urban lives.
Responding to the revolution in the world of employment, Smart City | DB's coworking spaces offer a network of attractive, station-based facilities that include everything from full-scale offices to single desks. The comfortable, flexible and inspiring working spaces provide a welcome addition to conventional working environments (be they at the office or at home), and they establish coworking as another important element in our third place product.
Smart City | DB opens up a convenient, time-saving way for people to pick up goods and orders as they go about their normal day-to-day activities. If a delivery company uses smart lockers, users can collect their items from the centrally located, customer-specified station whenever it suits them. Smart lockers are ideal for commuters, local residents and people visiting stations. They do away with the need to locate the collection point, and waiting times and restrictive opening hours are also a thing of the past.
Joining forces with weColli, Smart Cities | DB offers an ecologically sound solution that uses electric-powered cargo bikes to cover the last mile of the distribution process to shops. The digital platform provides customers with a bespoke option for managing deliveries and at the same time eliminate emissions. Capable of transporting as much as 400 kg, the electric vehicles can easily handle large items.
weColli uses the space that already exists at railway stations. Deliveries for locations in the heart of a town or city are channelled to station-based "city hubs" or other city-centre sites, and the cargo bikes then distribute them to the final destinations from there. This makes it possible to design short delivery runs and options for new, customised deliveries.
Urban analytics put the finishing touch to the Smart City | DB portfolio. Using a host of datasets (public, mobility, logistics and site-related), it is possible to search for and analyse a range of different locations and service areas to identify optimum features. Their results can be used to generate visuals showing the range of data points. The findings can be used to identify improvements and untapped potential that would have remained completely hidden without a visual depiction of the various correlations. On the basis of the analyses and their specific evaluations, cities get intensively counseled. At the same time, a demand-oriented establishment of the products in existing structures is ensured.


n this article, we are going to show you our journey of exploiting the Insecure Deserialization vulnerability and we will take WebGoat 8 deserialization challenge (deployed on Docker) as an example. The challenge can be solved by just executing sleepfor 5 seconds. However, we are going to move further for fun and try to get a reverse shell.
The Java deserialization issue has been known in the security community for a few years. In 2015, two security researchers Chris Frohoff and Gabriel Lawrence gave a talk Marshalling Pickles in AppSecCali. Additionally, they released their payload generator tool called ysoserial.
Object serialization mainly allows developers to convert in-memory objects to binary and textual data formats for storage or transfer. However, deserializing objects from untrusted data can cause an attacker to achieve remote code execution.
As mentioned in the challenge, the vulnerable page takes a serialized Java object in Base64 format from the user input and it blindly deserializes it. We will exploit this vulnerability by providing a serialized object that triggers a Property Oriented Programming Chain (POP Chain) to achieve Remote Command Execution during the deserialization.
By firing up Burp and installing a plugin called Java-Deserialization-Scanner. The plugin is consisting of 2 features: one of them is for scanning and the other one is for generating the exploit based on the ysoserial tool.
Hibernate 5 (Sleep): Potentially VULNERABLE!!!
Let's move to the next step and go to the exploitation tab to achieve arbitrary command execution.
Huh?! It seems an issue with ysoserial. Let's dig deeper into the issue and move to the console to see what is the issue exactly.
By looking at ysoserial, we see that two different POP chains are available for Hibernate. By using those payloads we figure out that none of them is being executed on the target system.
How the plugin generated this payload to trigger the sleep command then?
We noticed that the payload is hard-coded in the plugin's source code, so we need to find a way to generate the same payload in order to get it working.
Based on some research and help, we figured out that we need to modify the current version of ysoserial in order to get our payloads working.
We downloaded the source code of ysoserial and decided to recompile it using Hibernate 5. In order to successfully build ysoserial with Hibernate 5 we need to add the javax.el package to the pom.xml file.
We also have sent out a Pull Request to the original project in order to fix the build when the hibernate5 profile is selected.
As we can see our payload was successfully executed on the machine!
We proceed to enumerate the binaries on the target machine.
Only Perl and Bash are available. Let's try to craft a payload to send us a reverse shell.
However, as you might know, that java.lang.Runtime.exec()has some limitations. The shell operators such as redirection or piping are not supported.
We decided to move forward with another option, which is a reverse shell written in Java. We are going to modify the source code on the Gadgets.java to generate a reverse shell payload.
/root/ysoserial/src/main/java/ysoserial/payloads/util/Gadgets.java from line 116 to 118.
Let's rebuild ysoserial again and test the generated payload.
And.. we got a reverse shell back!
Special thanks to Federico Dotta and Mahmoud ElMorabea!

The Santa Clara Public Health Department confirmed Friday the nation's second coronavirus patient with no relevant travel history or clear link to another infected person or at-risk group, indicating that the virus may be spreading undetected in local communities.
"This new case indicates that there is evidence of community transmission but the extent is still not clear," Dr. Sara Cody, director of the County of Santa Clara Public Health Department, said in a statement Friday. "I understand this may be concerning to hear, but this is what we have been preparing for. Now we need to start taking additional actions to slow down the spread of the disease."
The new case brings the total number of coronavirus cases in California to 10 and the total number of cases in the U.S. to at least 63.
"We also don't have any evidence to suggest this case is linked to any other case in California," Cody told reporters at a press conference. There are two other cases in the county, the health department said. But this one is different because the patient, an elderly woman, doesn't have a travel history or any known contact with a traveler or infected person.
Cody said local schools should plan for students calling out sick and "explore options for tele-learning and enhance surface cleaning." She added that the department of public health started conducting a contact investigation after receiving the test results from the woman last night and has been working closely with the state and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"We're conducting a traditional contact investigation as we do for an infectious disease, which means tracing all the places that the person may have been while infectious," Cody said. "We are especially concerned about people who might be a high risk contact, like if they were a household member for example," Cody said.
U.S. health officials confirmed Wednesday the first suspected community transmission case in the U.S. — a resident of Solano County who's receiving medical care in Sacramento County. A day prior, the city of San Francisco declared a local emergency to prepare for the spread of infections, although there had no recorded cases at the time.
U.S. California Governor Gavin Newsom said Thursday that the state is currently monitoring more than 8,400 people for the coronavirus. He added that California health officials have 200 testing kits on hand and will be receiving more over the next few days.
A bulk of the 63 confirmed cases in the U.S. are people who were evacuated from Wuhan, China or the Diamond Princess cruise ship that was quarantined off the coast of Japan.
As of Friday, there have been 4,351 cases and 67 deaths across at least 48 countries outside China, where the outbreak began, WHO Director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters during a press conference.

The UN Partition Vote in November 1947 Was Important, but Not Crucial
A Jewish state would have arisen even if the vote had never happened, or had gone the other way, because the yishuv had in effect created the state already.
A man carrying bricks in 1920s Tel Aviv. Library of Congress.
Benny Morris is a visiting professor in Israel studies at Georgetown University and the author of, among other books, 1948: A History of the First Arab–Israeli War (Yale, 2008).
In "Who Saved Israel in 1947?" Martin Kramer has usefully complicated the Truman-to-the rescue narrative that is favored in many circles by reintroducing both the key role played by the Soviet Union in supporting the yishuv's aspirations for statehood and, not least, the behind-the-scenes lobbying of the great powers that was conducted by resourceful Zionist diplomats. But has he complicated it enough?
United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 of November 29, 1947, recommending the partition of Palestine into two states, one Jewish, the other Arab, won the support of more than half of the UN's then-56 member states (33 for, 13 against, 10 abstaining), thus expressing the will of the bulk of the international community. All of the world's democracies voted "aye," save for India and Greece, which voted "nay," and Britain, which abstained.
Were the same vote held today, the 193 General Assembly members would likely vote, perhaps overwhelmingly, against Jewish statehood. The Arab and Muslim states would vote "nay"—as they did uniformly in 1947—for reasons of ideology. But many others would follow suit out of self-interest and a desire not to annoy the world's Arabs and Muslims—because the Arab and Muslim worlds offer giant actual and potential markets for goods and services, because much of the world's oil is in their grip, because they sit astride international air, land, and sea routes, because of Arab-Muslim clout in international forums, and because of the presence of Arab and/or Muslim minorities in the midst of majority non-Arab and non-Muslim countries.
But the truth is that back in 1947, too, most of the world's states had good, concrete reasons to vote with the Arabs. Then, too, there were potential markets, communications routes, oil wells, Muslim minorities—and there were big powers like France, Britain, and the U.S. that had or hoped to establish military bases in Muslim lands. Given the cold-war background, the powers, including the U.S. and the USSR, had good reason to rally or keep the Arabs and Muslims onside. As the Indian prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, wrote to Albert Einstein on July 11, 1947, explaining by implication why India with its large Muslim minority was going to vote "nay": "national policies are unfortunately essentially selfish policies. Each country thinks of its own interest first."
Nonetheless, in the United States, President Truman overcame the protracted resistance of the State and Defense departments, both of which had similarly argued that American national interests required siding with the Arabs. In following America's lead, most of the other Western democracies were in part currying favor with Washington, on which they depended for vital financial support of economies ravaged by the world war.
Take the French. Weighty national interests, enunciated by the Quai d'Orsay for months, had underpinned an intended abstention. Those interests included French rule over the Maghreb, with its potentially turbulent Muslim populations, and worries about France's position in the Middle East, where Frenchmen had staked claims since the Crusades and where missionaries and schools continued to export French civilization. Moreover, France's largely Catholic population, educated on the Gospels, had a deep-rooted suspicion if not abhorrence of Jews, and its bishops were under instruction from the Vatican to oppose Jewish statehood. Zionist officials feared that the Benelux countries, traditionally under French diplomatic influence if not sway, would also follow Paris's lead.
Why, then, France's switch at the eleventh hour from abstention to "aye"? Here is how the British ambassador in Paris explained it:
[There was a threat that] if France . . . did not vote with the United States in favor of partition, [American] Jewish circles would prepare a campaign to influence senators and congressmen to vote against American aid to France.
There were also Western leaders who believed (rightly) that the partition proposal was unrealistic and unworkable, that it could not be realized peaceably, and that war would follow its passage as night follows day. As Paul-Henri Spaak, the Belgian prime minister, put it three days before the vote, partition would "lead to much bloodshed and probably war in the Middle East and offer no permanent solution."
After all, Arab spokesmen had for months been threatening war. Moreover, many Western officials feared that Arab-Jewish hostilities would open the door to Soviet penetration of the region (as would indeed occur in the 1950s). And, clearly, given Arab rejectionism, the great powers lacked the stomach or will to impose partition; in Spaak's words, "The United States and [the] Soviet[s support] partition without being ready to enforce it." New Zealand's prime minister, Peter Fraser, concurred:
The mere recommendation of the [General] Assembly in . . . favor [of partition] unaccompanied by any effective plan for implementation . . . can only render [the] scheme futile and feels calculated to lead to bloodshed and chaos . . . and [will] solve nothing.
To be sure, many small states, like Poland and some Latin American republics, were swayed in November 1947 by great-power diktat, often at the last minute. A few small states (Liberia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic), or at least their UN ambassadors, may also have been motivated by the threats of American Jewish tycoons (like Sam Zemurray and Harvey Firestone) heavily invested in their exports, or by Zionist bribes.
Ever since the vote, Arab spokesmen and historians have argued that the key country, the U.S., was moved not by national interests but by the president's internal political calculus in the runup to the 1948 elections. (Kramer alludes to this in passing.) In their view, Jewish votes, concentrated in critical electoral-college states, and Jewish campaign contributions were at the forefront of Truman's decision to vote for partition—and, in May 1948, to recognize the newborn state of Israel immediately.
Possibly these spokesmen were influenced by British thinking. As the British Foreign Secretary told U.S. Secretary of State George Marshall on November 24 1947, "It [has] seemed to me that this great issue has been handled [by the U.S.] more with the electoral situation in New York City in mind than having regard to the large issues of foreign policy involved."
Without doubt, such considerations did play a part in Truman's decision-making; important decisions are frequently undertaken for multiple reasons, which is something historians of the black and white, either-or variety often elide. But this line of thinking does not explain, for example, why Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, with virtually no Jewish communities or Jewish clout, also voted for partition. Or why the doubters like Belgium and New Zealand in the end also voted "aye."
The answer, I think, lies in one word: the Holocaust. The reality of the Holocaust was conveyed to Western audiences and leaders in the newsreels, universally screened in movie theaters before feature presentations, which depicted the liberation of the extermination and concentration camps by Allied troops. It was the piles of bodies, unincinerated and unburied, and the masses of emaciated survivors at Bergen-Belsen and Buchenwald that brought home, on both sides of the Atlantic, what had happened, and this translated into empathy and support for Jewish statehood.
Moreover, incidents like the saga of the SS Exodus in July 1947, when British sailors and marines violently boarded and took control of a Haganah ship crammed with Holocaust survivors on their way to Palestine, and then re-deported these "illegals" back to Europe, could not have failed to move hearts and minds. Indeed, as the British took the Jewish dead and wounded off the boat in Haifa harbor, representatives of UNSCOP, the UN's Special Committee on Palestine, looked on—and then recommended partition. A few weeks later, the committee's recommendation was translated into UN General Assembly Resolution 181.
In addition, many non-Jewish Europeans had at least partly endured the horrors meted out by the Nazis to conquered and partly-conquered peoples during the war years, and shared a sense of suffering with the Jews. Such was the case in the French cabinet that, in late November 1947, eventually resolved to vote "aye": the key figures (Prime Minister Robert Schuman, René Mayer, Daniel Mayer, Jules Moch, and Maurice Couve de Murville) had all been in the Resistance or the Free French hierarchy in London and the African colonies.
Such was the case, too, in Gromyko's May 1947 UN speech, quoted by Kramer. Stalin may have been—was—an anti-Semite. But others, who advised him, may have had some influence, too—though Stalin's decision likely was driven primarily by his anti-British calculations.
But in the end and above all else, as one historian, Michael Cohen, has put it, the UNGA vote was "Western civilization's gesture of repentance for the Holocaust . . . the repayment of a debt owed by those nations that realized that they might have done more to prevent or at least limit the scale of Jewish tragedy during World War II." Perhaps the almost 2,000 years of Christian persecution of the Jews that preceded the Holocaust also played a part here.
One final question is raised by Kramer's piece. He seems to imply that the partition vote was crucial to Israel's emergence. I'm not so sure. It was certainly important to Israel's swift acceptance among the comity of nations during the ensuing decade, and to its future diplomatic well-being and foreign relations. But its birth and existence? The simple answer is probably "no."
In all likelihood, the state would have arisen, in 1948 or a year or two later, whatever the UN had decided or failed to decide in November 1947. It arose because the yishuv had, for decades, prepared itself, psychologically and institutionally, for that day, because it had achieved a critical developmental and demographic mass that was—and proved to be—sufficient to establish a Jewish state, and because its armed forces (yes, with the important help of the Moscow-approved Czech arms shipments in the crucial months of April through June 1948) were able to beat the disorganized Palestinian Arab militias and then the Arab armies that invaded Palestine.
To all of this, the Holocaust had provided the immediate and necessary impetus and energy.

A multidisciplinary team working at Pennsylvania State University claim to have used human stem cells to regenerate the cells that cover the external surface of a human heart. The new research may one day help replace damaged tissues caused by a heart attack or genetic defects.
Building upon previous research into what is known as Wnt signaling pathways (a group of protein conduits that allow signals to enter a cell via cell-surface receptors), the researchers found that the action of certain chemicals on these pathways effectively turned the cardiac stem cells into myocardium cells (which make up the middle of the heart's three layers of muscle), which they can then transform into epicardium (outer layer) cells.

Q: withTimeout function gives IllegalStateException: There is no event loop. Use runBlocking { ... } to start one. in Kotlin Multiplatform iOS client Update:
It works if I first execute a coroutine without timeout and then withTimeout. But If I execute a coroutine withTimeout first then it gives me an error. same goes for Async as well.
I am creating a demo kotlin multiplatform application where I am executing an API call with ktor.
I want to have a configurable timeout function on ktor request so I am using withTimeout at coroutine level.
Here is my function call with network API.
suspend fun <T> onNetworkWithTimeOut(
    url: String,
    timeoutInMillis: Long,
    block: suspend CoroutineScope.() -> Any): T {
    return withTimeout(timeoutInMillis) {
        withContext(dispatchers.io, block)
    } as T
}

suspend fun <T> onNetworkWithoutTimeOut(url: String, block: suspend CoroutineScope.() -> Any): T {
    return withContext(dispatchers.io, block) as T
}

Here is my AppDispatcher class for the iOSMain module.
@InternalCoroutinesApi
actual class AppDispatchersImpl : AppDispatchers {
@SharedImmutable
override val main: CoroutineDispatcher =
    NsQueueDispatcher(dispatch_get_main_queue())

@SharedImmutable
override val io: CoroutineDispatcher =
    NsQueueDispatcher(dispatch_get_main_queue())

internal class NsQueueDispatcher(
    @SharedImmutable private val dispatchQueue: dispatch_queue_t
) : CoroutineDispatcher() {
    override fun dispatch(context: CoroutineContext, block: Runnable) {
        NSRunLoop.mainRunLoop().performBlock {
            block.run()
        }
    }
}

}
so the function with the timeout gives me the following error in iOS client.
kotlin.IllegalStateException: There is no event loop. Use runBlocking { ... } to start one.

I am using 1.3.2-native-mt-1 version of the kotlin-coroutine-native.
I have created a sample demo application at the following URL.
https://github.com/dudhatparesh/kotlin-multiplat-platform-example

A: So, as mentioned in comment above I had similar issue but turned out that it wasn't picking up the native-mt version due to transitive dependencies in other libraries.  Added following and it's resolving now.
        implementation('org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core-native')
        {
            version {
                strictly '1.3.3-native-mt'
            }
        }

Also note guidance in https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/blob/native-mt/kotlin-native-sharing.md
Starting to make use of this in https://github.com/joreilly/PeopleInSpace

A: If you want to use [withTimeout] functions in coroutines you have to modify your Dispatcher to implement Delay interface. Here is an example of how this can be achieved:
@UseExperimental(InternalCoroutinesApi::class)
class UI : CoroutineDispatcher(), Delay {

    override fun dispatch(context: CoroutineContext, block: Runnable) {
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
            try {
                block.run()
            } catch (err: Throwable) {
                throw err
            }
        }
    }

    @InternalCoroutinesApi
    override fun scheduleResumeAfterDelay(timeMillis: Long, continuation: CancellableContinuation<Unit>) {
        dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, timeMillis * 1_000_000), dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
            try {
                with(continuation) {
                    resumeUndispatched(Unit)
                }
            } catch (err: Throwable) {
                throw err
            }
        }
    }

    @InternalCoroutinesApi
    override fun invokeOnTimeout(timeMillis: Long, block: Runnable): DisposableHandle {
        val handle = object : DisposableHandle {
             var disposed = false
                private set

            override fun dispose() {
                disposed = true
            }
        }
        dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, timeMillis * 1_000_000), dispatch_get_main_queue()) {
            try {
                if (!handle.disposed) {
                    block.run()
                }
            } catch (err: Throwable) {
                throw err
            }
        }

        return handle
    }

}

This solution can be easily modified for your needs.
More information can be found in this thread.
UPDATE
At the moment there is a version 1.3.9-native-mt of kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core artifact which gives the ability to use Dispatchers.Main on ios platform (it supports delay out of the box). It even supports Dispatchers.Default which is used for background work. You can read docs in native-mt branch. Worth noting that the version for ios should be set strictly:
implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.3.9-native-mt") {
            version {
                strictly('1.3.9-native-mt')
            }
        }

A: Sometimes ios app has a different async requirement with an android app.
Use this code for temporary dispatch problem
object MainLoopDispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher() {
    override fun dispatch(context: CoroutineContext, block: Runnable) {
        NSRunLoop.mainRunLoop().performBlock {
            block.run()
        }
    }
}

Hellevaart (Amerikaanse titel: Damnation Alley) is een sciencefiction-roman uit 1969 van de Amerikaanse schrijver Roger Zelazny. Het origineel werd uitgebracht door uitgeverij Berkley Publishing Corporation in New York. De Nederlandstalige versie werd uitgegeven door Uitgeverij Het Spectrum in de Prisma Pocketsreeks onder catalogusnummer 1616 (kostprijs 3,50 gulden). Voor zover bekend bleef het in Nederland en België maar bij één druk.

Het Vrije Volk recenseerde het in 1974 als geschikte introductie tot het "echte sciencefictionwerk". De Waarheid ging in 1975 een stap verder met "miskleun van een anders uitstekende schrijver".

Synopsis

De mensheid heeft zich weten te verspreiden in het zonnestelsel, maar de Aarde heeft alle contact verloren en is zelf ten onder gegaan. De Verenigde Staten is door een atoomoorlog één grote woestenij geworden die beheerst wordt door bendes. In deze wereld vertrekt Hell Tanner op een speciaal geconstrueerd voertuig vanuit Californië voor een reis die hem uiteindelijk in Boston moet brengen. Daar heerst de pest en Tanner heeft nog een aantal dozen vaccins, die hij ernaartoe wil brengen. Tanner zat vast vanwege een moord en kon zich door middel van deze reis vrijkopen.

Achtergrond
Naar eigen zeggen had Zelazny een korter verhaal geschreven; echter zijn uitgeverij wilde een versie die geschikt zou zijn voor verfilming. Collega Barry Matzberg vond het een goed uitgangspunt, maar te lang uitgesponnen, waardoor het verhaal meer een actieverhaal werd met toekomstvariaties.

Die film kwam er dan ook. In 1977 kwam Damnation Alley van Jack Smight in de Amerikaanse bioscopen met hoofdrollen voor Jan-Michael Vincent en George Peppard. Het eerste script ging juist terug naar het korte verhaal, maar gedurende de opnamen werd het script aangepast, waarbij alleen de verhaallijn overbleef. Zelazny was teleurgesteld en vond die film niets.

Hawkwind schreef voor hun album Quark, strangeness and charm een lied geïnspireerd op het boek.
