Richmond on the watch
David Rodríguez on November 16, 2019
Over 200 neighborhood watch groups across the city of Richmond are already working to keep their communities safe, and the most recent training drew more residents on Wednesday evening to learn how to start grassroots groups from Michelle Milam, crime prevention manager for the Richmond Police Department.
"Neighborhood watch is not [a] novel thing. It's nothing new, it is taking that old system … we did back in grandma's day, where we look out for each other and create a structure to it," said Milam.
The Richmond Police Department Crime Prevention program and the Crime Prevention executive board on November 13 offered residents tips on how to contact the police, and the importance of community involvement in what they said was really an old-fashioned form of neighborhood solidarity and concern.
"The first responder is not always going to be a police officer. It's not going to be a firefighter," she said. "A lot of the time, the first responder is going to be your neighbor."
Listening to Milam's tips were Central Richmond residents Edward Davis and Millie Mae Davis, who attended the training in the hope of learning how to start a neighborhood watch in their own community.
After attending the class, the Davises expressed their feeling that training provided useful information on crime prevention and reporting emergency and nonemergency incidents.
"Through education, and knowing which [service] numbers to call, people be less afraid [to report an incident]," said Millie Mae.
The couple said they feel prepared to start their neighborhood watch in their community.
"[The class] is more like a motivational thing… [it] motivated us to get our neighborhoods involved," said Edward. "[Neighborhood watch] makes the neighborhood safer and more knitted together as a community," Millie Mae added.

The "Whiz Kids"
A Look Back at the "Whiz Kids" – Fifty Years Later
A recollection by Jack Bissell, Exeter '58
The "Whiz Kids" of 1957 and 1958, Bill Wreden, Jack Bissell, Charley Swift and Barry Lydgate, with coxswains Steve Call in 1957 and John Wilcox in 1958, formed a unique four-oared crew that defied all the conventional wisdoms of the time. Assembled in the spring of 1957 to push an expected fourth boat of upperclassmen before we were disbursed to "the Clubs", we just kept winning our time trials. By the start of the season we had qualified to race as the third boat in the opening race, at three-quarters of a mile with a strong following current, on Groton's course. This crew: too short, too light, too inexperienced and with its largest oarsman rowing in the bow, began that season with a convincing victory that was truly the start of something special. While I am flooded with memories from the ensuing two seasons, including the disappointments that accompany any athletic undertaking, a few of those recollections stand out as worthy of particular mention.
The first is just the chance itself to row in the same boat with a boyhood friend, Little League teammate and fellow faculty brat, Charley Swift, Jr. Also, what were the odds that the sons of Exeter's latest successive crew coaches Hammy Bissell and Charles Swift would also be rowing one behind the other in the same four? A second reflection, also from that magical season of 1957, was our dogged advancement to second boat status, a position we never relinquished through any time trial. By the end of the season we were pushing a first crew (anointed since the start of the season) to better performances than they would have achieved without us. And by far the high point of that year was our victory as New England Second Boat Champions at Worcester. Until recently reading The PEAN Supplement's account of our '57 season, I had forgotten that we won the final by one and a half lengths. My most vivid recollection of that day was our completely controlled victory in our heat, knowing that we had followed "Swifty's" instructions to save some strength and energy for the finals. Our victory at Middlesex the following week was just frosting on the cake that gave us a great feeling of optimism for the 1958 season.
We did not achieve all our hopes and goals in 1958, but we quickly earned our position as first boat and had some great moments. With our classic sprint along the Swayze Parkway, we overtook Groton for a close victory to open the season. I even wound up with the shirt of John Lawrence, Groton '58, their number three man and later Captain of one of Harry Parker's first great Harvard crews. In our most gutsy race, we beat Belmont Hill on the Charles River in a driving rain that must have added thirty pounds of weight to our sodden sweatshirts in the bottom of the boat. In our third week, with a tailwind that probably would have let us use our oars as sails, we won over Brooks just three seconds short of their course record.
Moreover, who of us can forget the joy of leading all the way at Worcester, with Pomfret and Belmont Hill just where we wanted them, sprinting towards the finish line at nearly forty beats per minute, at our time in our race, only to be struck by the wake of a wandering outboard, causing crabs that brought the boat to a standstill. The transformation of elation and expectation into bewilderment and then tears in the space of seconds was, in retrospect, a microcosm of life's emotions usually caused by events over which we have so little control. I have always felt that we never rowed better against bigger, tougher competition than we did in that Worcester final in 1958, but fate intervened that day.
As for our final week, the close loss in Thursday's time trial, raced backward with the tide on the Squamscott course, to Larry Timpson's crew buoyed by its own victory at Lake Quinsigamond, exceeded even our disappointment at Worcester. But from that event emerged a moment of leadership from Bill Wreden that I will never forget. In our Friday paddle to get ready for Saturday's home race against a Middlesex second boat that was undefeated, Bill said we are not only going to win, we are going to bury them and when we finish it will be with "oars off", setting up the boat with our knees, as if it just a workout. This was the challenge we needed to get our edge back, and we went out and did it, posting the fastest time of the day, coasting for yards after the finish until we neared the wall.
So, if the "Whiz Kids" didn't finish what they started by winning the Columbia Cup against Middlesex, they at least finished as they started fourteen months before, with an open water victory over solid competition. With a stroke like Bill, never a slave to the stop watch but one who always found the pace he wanted to set; with a bow man like Barry who pulled us through the water with a high finish that kept our bow planing; with two fac-brats in the "engine room" who had spent so much time together since childhood that they were able to row almost as one; and with two successive coxswains who steered beautifully and knew how to get the best out of us; we can now appreciate, some fifty years later, that we were privileged to be part of an athletic and indeed a life experience that was truly remarkable.
Reflecting once again on the start and finish of our career as the "Whiz Kids" it might also be said that, as Exeter itself challenged us, we began as boys and finished as men.
Jack Bissell '58

Y-12 part of extending life of nation's oldest nuclear weapons
Posted at 11:54 pm June 4, 2018
Image from U.S. Government Accountability Office report in May 2018 on B61-12 Nuclear Bomb.
The Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge is part of a program to extend the life of B61 bombs, the oldest nuclear weapons in the nation's active stockpile, federal officials said.
The life extension program, or LEP, for the B61 bombs is the most complex and expensive since the U.S. Department of Energy began stockpile life extension activities in January 1996, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
Critical components of the bombs are reaching the end of their operational lives, and the life extension program will result in a bomb known as B61-12. It will consolidate four versions of the bomb into one. The bombs could be carried on B-2A bomber aircraft and F-15E, F-16, F-35, and PA-200 fighters.
A GAO report described the role of six National Nuclear Security Administration sites and laboratories in the LEP. Besides Y-12, the NNSA sites are Kansas City National Security Campus in Missouri; Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico; Pantex Plant in Amarillo, Texas; Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Savannah River Site in Aiken, South Carolina.
Y-12 is designated as the production site for the secondary. All weapons in the U.S. nuclear stockpile are two-stage nuclear weapons, or thermonuclear weapons. The first stage, known as the primary, is a fission device that is the initial source of nuclear energy, the GAO said. The secondary, which is the second stage, is a nuclear stage physically separate from the primary. Together, the primary and secondary are referred to as the weapon's nuclear explosive package, the GAO said. [Read more…]

User records of 3,226 people who used the Luas website may have been compromised in a "professional cyber-attack", the company has said.
However, in a statement this afternoon Transdev, the company that operates the Luas, said no financial information was compromised.
A message was posted on the website of Dublin's tram service saying it was hacked.
Users trying to access luas.ie this morning saw a message that threatened to "publish all data and send emails to your users" unless "1 bitcoin" is paid in five days.
One bitcoin is currently valued at €3,385.
This afternoon's statement said the affected user records are of people who signed up to a Luas Newsletter.
The company said these people will be contacted in the next 24 hours informing them of the potential breach.
The Data Protection Commission has also been contracted.
The site is being analysed to identify how the attack occurred and technicians are working to restore the service, the statement added.
The Luas website was compromised this morning , and a malicious message was put on the home page. The website has been taken down by the IT company who manage it, and their technicians are working on it. Luas are informed this may take the day to resolve.
The Luas service has not been affected.
An information security consultant has said it is his understanding that the Luas website does not store any personal data.
Speaking on RTÉ's News at One programme, Brian Honan described the threat as "hollow".
"My understanding is that this particular website belonging to the Luas just displays maps and information about timetables and it doesn't store any personal data, so the threat to publish personal data and contact people via their emails, with the information that we have, would seem to be a hollow threat," he said.


Residents of Nairobi South have raised concerns over toxic emissions being discharged by some factories operating in the area.
They say that since the emissions started two weeks ago, cases of respiratory ailments have increased.
Many children have been coughing, vomiting and nose bleeding.
The residents - living in estates along Mombasa Road - complain that some factories have been discharging the poisonous gases at night.
Ms Jane Ndambuki, a resident, said that the smell, which is similar to that of burning tyres or teargas, irritates the nose when inhaled.
"We just want to know what it (the gas) is, and which factory is emitting it. On Saturday, the emissions started from 4pm and intensified in the night, we woke up choking," the mother of two said on Monday. She said that the same was experienced a few years back.
Ms Njeri Wang'ombe said that her one-year-old baby coughed and vomited after inhaling the strange gas at 3am.
"At first I thought she had developed asthma, but when I later inhaled the gas and started coughing," she said.
Ms Elizabeth Yego recounted how she developed breathing difficulties after inhaling the poisonous gas at night.
"The pungent smell was too much to handle and it has been going on for a while now. We are worried about our children," Ms Yego told Nation.co.ke on Monday.
Nairobi County Assembly Majority Whip and South B Ward Representative Waithera Chege said that she experienced the pungent smell first on Saturday while driving along Mombasa Road. She now wants National Environment Management Authority (Nema) to investigate the source of the poisonous gas.
"We will not allow companies to make money at the expense of citizens' health. This is a public health issue that can lead to respiratory complications," said Ms Chege.
The MCA gave Nema 14 days to find a lasting solution to the problem by preparing a full report showing the location of the companies and a full disclosure of the owners, failure to which she will petition for the disbandment of the agency.
"It is within their (Nema's) mandate to deal with this issue but they have done nothing. I want them move with speed to save many lives that are now at stake. I will also bring the issue before the Assembly on Tuesday," she said.

Apple TV shifts 3m units as CEO teases Apple iTV release
Apple CEO Tim Cook teases 'special' product that could take Apple's TV offering mainstream
By Luke Johnson 2012-02-15T09:25:00.450Z
With just short of 3 million Apple TV units confirmed to have shifted in the past year, Apple CEO Tim Cook has teased a potential Apple iTV release
Revealing the 2011 sales figures for the company's existing TV content streamer, Apple TV, Apple CEO Tim Cook has offered a tantalising insight into the heavily rumoured Apple iTV television sets.
Speaking during his keynote speech at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference Cook has described the current Apple TV offering as a 'hobby', whilst revealing the Cupertino based company shifted just shy of 3 million Apple TV units during 2011, 1 million of which came in the year's final quarter.
Stating that Apple "doesn't do hobbies as a general rule," Cook revealed that the existing Apple TV unit was testing the waters of the television sector stating the company would need something "special" in order to make TV a "serious category" for Apple.
"The reason we call it a hobby is because we don't want to send a message to you or our shareholders that we think the market for it is the size of our other businesses," Cook said of Apple TV. He added that he believed Apple could "find something that was larger" so that its ventures into the television industry "could go more main-market."
Apple iTV Rumours
Far from confirmed, Apple iTV rumours have been circulating for a number of months kicking into overdrive following the publication of the official Steve Jobs biography in which the Apple co-founder and former CEO said he had "finally cracked" how to change the television market.
"I'd like to create an integrated television set that is completely easy to use," Jobs reportedly said. "It would be seamlessly synced with all of your devices and with iCloud. It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine. I finally cracked it."
Further Apple iTV rumours have suggested Apple will offer a variety of screen size options when it launches its first own branded television sets later this year. With 37 and 42-inch Apple iTV models reportedly in the works, some rumours have suggested Apple's Design Chief Jonathan Ive is currently putting the finishing touches to a 50-inch set.
Does all the talk of an Apple branded television set have you excited or are you happy with your current internet-connected TV? Let us know via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

This book was sooooooo good. I am both haunted and satisfied with how Hopkins gave closure to Pattyn's story. Lots of tears in the last twenty pages.
Like Lemony Snicket? Try Alexander Baddenfield.
Rare is the adult book I actually pick up to read and even rarer is the adult book I actually finish. This is one that I will see through to the very end. Use this book as a reading ladder for students who enjoyed Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys.
The Nine Lives of Alexander Baddenfield seemed fascinating but after reading some reviews online, I was kind of put off by it. And, I'm usually fine with dark and morbid humor. I'll be sure to check out your review of it.
Burial Rites looks intriguing. Another book to add to the TBR list. Thanks for sharing. Have a great reading week!
I absolutely need to get to The Real Boy, and have also read such great things about Nine Lives - another must read, I'm guessing.
AH! SO MANY GOOD LOOKING BOOKS! I am dying to read Burial Rites. A coworker has it checked out right now and I keep pestering her for it. It looks amazing. Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking gets my vote for most intriguing title I've seen today. I'm off to read your review of it! I have only read one Ellen Hopkins book but I was amazed by how good it was! She's quite a talented poet, in my opinion.
Loved hearing your thoughts on The Real Boy, as I'm not that drawn to fantasy books either. Looking forward to when it gets into the library. Burial Rites sounds interesting! I too am picking up an adult book this read, Khaled Hosseini's And the Mountains Echoed.
I read The Real Boy this week, too. So many twists and turns to that book! I stayed up way too late several nights this week. Nine Lives looks interesting, and I'm drawn by the Sophie Blackall cover. Adding to my list!
I love Ellen Hopkins, and my students love her even more than I do! I haven't tried her new series yet, but I have some voracious readers who really enjoy it and can't wait to get their hands on SMOKE.
I think I want to read The Nine Lives of . . . simply because of that stunning cover. Who says don't judge a book . . . ? Can't wait to read The Real Boy!

'Sit Less, Move More' May Be Key to Keeping Weight Off
Marlene Busko
Although the advice to "sit less, move more" to lose excess weight and keep it off has been criticized as being too simplistic, a new study suggests it may be important to keep lost weight from creeping back.
Individuals with former obesity who lost at least 20 pounds (9.1 kg) and kept it off for at least 3 years sat for 3 hours less each day and were more physically active than individuals with obesity.
Weight-loss maintainers were members of WW (formerly Weight Watchers) who initially weighed 224 pounds (101.6 kg), and those with obesity (controls) were recruited from the community and weighed a mean of 243 pounds (110.2 kg).
On average, the successful weight-loss maintainers sat for 9.7 hours/day, whereas the individuals with obesity sat for 12.6 hours/day.
The weight-loss maintainers spent 1 hour/day less playing video games or using a computer for nonwork-related activities, but the two groups spent a similar amount of time doing other sedentary activities.
This study "is the first to describe different types of sitting behaviors among weight-loss maintainers," lead author James Roake, a student at California Polytechnic State University, in San Luis Obispo, and colleagues write in the article published May 25 in Obesity.
Future interventions should consider targeting nonwork-related computer and video game usage, they suggest.
Need for More Activity as Well as Less Sitting
Individuals in the long-term weight-loss maintenance group expended more energy climbing stairs, walking, and doing light physical activity than those in the control group (1835 vs 785 calories/week).
The study "also showed that physical activity was associated with improved weight-loss maintenance," John M. Jakicic, PhD, who was not involved in this research, observed in a statement from the Obesity Society.
Importantly, it "does not imply that simply standing more rather than sitting will contribute to weight-loss maintenance, but [it] may suggest that less sitting that results in more movement is what is key to weight loss maintenance.
"Hence, sit less and move more," said Jakicic, director of the Physical Activity and Weight Management Research Center, at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.
Corresponding author Suzanne Phelan, PhD, professor of kinesiology and director of the STRIDE Center for Obesity Research, California Polytechnic State University, calls for more research.
"The findings hopefully will prompt future weight maintenance intervention research" she said in the statement.
"Future research should include objective measures of sedentary behavior and activity."
Sitting Time Linked to Obesity, Diabetes, CVD
Time spent sitting has "increased dramatically" in the United States in the past decade and is associated with increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality, Roake and colleagues write.
Data from the National Weight Control Registry showed that individuals who had maintained long-term weight loss spent fewer than 10 hours a week watching television, and they also owned fewer television sets than individuals with obesity.
To investigate types, context, and amount of sedentary behavior in individuals who maintained weight loss, researchers identified 4953 people who were part of the WW Success Registry and had lost at least 20 pounds — which is a clinically significant 10% weight loss for someone with an initial weight of 200 pounds — and kept the weight off for at least a year.
They also recruited 650 control individuals with obesity.
Those in the weight loss-maintainer group, compared with controls, were older (54 vs 47 years), more were female (92% vs 79%), and they had a lower current mean body mass index (27.7 vs 39.2 kg/m2).
Participants completed the Multicontext Sitting Time Questionnaire, the Paffenbarger Physical Activity Questionnaire, and a questionnaire about home sitting environment.
Compared to individuals with obesity, the weight-loss maintainers sat for 3 hours/day less during the week (10.9 vs 13.9 hours/day) and weekends (9.7 vs 12.6 hours/day), and spent 1 hour/day less playing video games or using a computer for nonwork-related activity during the week (1.4 vs 2.3 hours/day) or weekend (1.5 vs 2.5 hours/day).
Both groups had a similar number of electronic devices/television sets at home (15.8 versus 14.8).
The study was supported by a grant from WW International. Phelan has reported receiving a grant from WW International, and another author has reported being an employee and shareholder of the company.

CAPE TOWN – Wales legend Sam Warburton basically disregarding South Africa as World Cup contenders can be seen as another indication of the Springboks having lost their aura. But is it really a bad thing?
Wales capped a stunning Six Nations campaign with grand slam success when they beat defending champions Ireland 25-7 in Cardiff at the weekend.
The victory extended the men in red's hot winning streak to 14 consecutive wins. And it's exactly that form under the guidance of three-time grand slam-winning Kiwi Warren Gatland, combined with the a dip in form of some of the traditional southern hemisphere heavyweights, that has the former Wales skipper so confidently optimistic… optimistic enough to believe that the All Blacks will present the only real threat to Wales on rugby's biggest stage in Japan.
"If somebody else beat New Zealand and knocked them out of the tournament, as a Welsh fan you would be thinking, 'Oh my God, this is on,' Warburton wrote in a column in the Sunday Times.
"Basically New Zealand are the only team I would really worry about Wales playing. If it was anyone else at the moment I would back Wales.
Aside from the All Blacks being, well, the All Blacks, the fact that Wales haven't beaten them since 1953 will have Warburton hoping even harder that the highly unlikely happens – the All Blacks get knocked out before Wales get tested against them.
The fact that Wales won the grand slam in a World Cup year will undoubtedly also have done something for Warburton – and the team's – confidence, especially seeing as the last team to achieve that feat was England in 2003 – their World Cup-winning year.
So, what do Warburton's thoughts mean for South African rugby?
In fact, if it's at all indicative of how the rest of the rugby world feels about the Boks' chances, it's a good thing.
The Bok class of 2019 won't go into the World Cup as favourites, thanks to a couple of struggling seasons during which the South Africans hit very low lows. And for a team still trying to get back to 100%, the added pressure that would come with sky-high World Cup expectations wouldn't do them any good.
Ideally, the Boks would go into the World Cup looking to build on and continue good form. And that comes with pressure.
Don't get me wrong, in a country like SA, there will always be expectation to perform.
But this Bok group, one that has shown some promising signs along their road to recovery, will look to continue improving in their two games ahead of the World Cup. They'll hunt improvement and results, but given the recent past, nothing will be seen as a given. And that's the key – they'll look to improve. Unlike a team like Wales, who have achieved great success in the build-up to the event, and because of that, the pressure will be on.
So, while Warburton has some reason to be confident, he should remember what happened after Wales last won the grand slam in 2012 (they went to Australia and lost all three of their Tests before going on an eight-game losing streak).
And just like their last major success didn't necessarily lead to major positives, the Boks' struggles won't necessarily lead to Japan disappointment.
If it does go the other way, with the Boks lifting the Webb Ellis Cup later this year, that success will be even sweeter seeing as they "aren't the side they once were".

Q: How to use salsa20 (or ChaCha)? Assume that we have a large file which can be read in chunks of 1024 bytes or so, how can I encrypt and decrypt each chunk using Salsa or Chacha 20?
Also, where would I specify the number of rounds (i.e. 8, 12, or 20)?
So far, I haven't been able to figure it out by looking at the eSTREAM test package :(
I've downloaded the following files via eSTREAM and the Salsa20 homepage:

*

*chacha.c

*ecrypt-config.h

*ecrypt-machine.h

*ecrypt-portable.h

*ecrypt-sync.h

And I see the comments in encrypt-sync.h talk about calling functions in this order:

*

*ECRYPT_keysetup();

*ECRYPT_ivsetup();

*ECRYPT_encrypt_bytes();

But I have absolutely no idea exactly what I'm supposed to be supplying as parameters to make this work...
Here's my best attempt so far, starting with one small string of plaintext (my C is rusty... it's possible I've made some basic mistake, though I can't see it):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include "ecrypt-sync.h"

#define CHUNKSIZE 1024

void getRandomBytes(u8 **str, u32 len);
void showData(u8 *data, u8 *header);

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    char plaintext[CHUNKSIZE] = "THIS IS A TEST";
    ECRYPT_ctx ctx;
    u8 *key, *IV, *ciphertext, *result;

    /*
    Don't use random values till we get it working with zeroes at least
    getRandomBytes(&key, ECRYPT_MAXKEYSIZE/8);
    getRandomBytes(&IV, ECRYPT_MAXIVSIZE/8);
    */

    key = (u8 *)calloc((size_t)ECRYPT_MAXKEYSIZE/8, sizeof(u8));
    IV = (u8 *)calloc((size_t)ECRYPT_MAXIVSIZE/8, sizeof(u8));

    printf("Encrypting [%s] using random %d bit key and %d bit IV:\n", plaintext, ECRYPT_MAXKEYSIZE, ECRYPT_MAXIVSIZE);

    ECRYPT_init();
    ECRYPT_keysetup(&ctx, key, ECRYPT_MAXKEYSIZE, ECRYPT_MAXIVSIZE);
    ECRYPT_ivsetup(&ctx, IV);

    ciphertext = (u8 *)calloc((size_t)CHUNKSIZE, sizeof(u8));

    ECRYPT_encrypt_bytes(&ctx, plaintext, ciphertext, CHUNKSIZE);

    //showData(ciphertext, "CIPHERTEXT");

    result = (u8 *)calloc((size_t)CHUNKSIZE, sizeof(u8));

    ECRYPT_decrypt_bytes(&ctx, ciphertext, result, CHUNKSIZE);
    printf("And now decrypting back: [%s]\n", result);

    return 0;
}

void showData(u8 *data, u8 *header) {
    printf("\n-----BEGIN %s-----\n%s\n-----END %s-----\n", header, data, header);

}

void getRandomBytes(u8 **str, u32 len) {
    int fd = open("/dev/random", O_RDONLY);
    char *ptr = malloc((size_t) + 1);

    read(fd, ptr, len);
    close(fd);

    ptr[len] = '\0';
    *str = ptr;
}

Results are like:

Encrypting [THIS IS A TEST] using random 256 bit key and 64 bit IV:
  And now decrypting back: [(bunch of random characters)]

Where it should be:

And now decrypting back: [THIS IS A TEST]

Feel free to provide your solution in either C or C++
Thank you!

A: If you are going to use Salsa20 in real code and you are asking questions like this, you probably want to use the NaCl library with nice friendly C++ wrappers.
See The NaCl website.
To answer your actual question: you need to set the IV up again for the decryption operation. The IV consists of your nonce and a block offset. The encrypt/decrypt functions increment the offset, giving your code a different IV for the encryption and decryption functions.

Day Five: Best Director, 1961
We wrap the first week of 1961 with Best Director. If you missed out on the rest of the week, just click on these words. If you haven't missed out, welcome back.
The nominees after the jump....
Federico Fellini for La Dolce Vita
first of four nominations
There's a palpable anger and sadness in every scene. The people are bored and cruel, the streets are almost empty; miracles are a show business, show business is grotesque. The nights offer fleeting, dreamlike experiences, but dreams aren't real - and can often be nightmares. Haunting.
Stanley Kramer for Judgment at Nuremberg
second of three nominations; Golden Globe Winner, DGA Award Nominee
In a dialogue-heavy film, he keeps things moving, interesting - yes, cinematic! Gets great performances from his cast. The conceit of having the film begin in multiple languages before going through the translators into an all-English production works beautifully.
Jerome Robbins & Robert Wise for West Side Story
Robbins' first and only nomination, Wise's second of three nominations and first of two wins; DGA Award Winners, Golden Globe Nominees, NYFCC Award Runners-Up
Whether it's the dialogue-less opening sequence, passionate "America", the co-ed rumble that is the dance at the gym, explosive "Cool", every shot and cut prioritizes narrative and spectacle - simultaneously. The transition to book scenes is seamless. The performances are perfect. It is flawless!
Robert Rossen for The Hustler
second and final nomination; NYFCC Award Winner, DGA Award Nominee
Those performances didn't come from nowhere; Rossen brings out the humanity in these desperate people, patiently watching them destroy themselves. Covers pool and billiards clearly, excitingly - not knowing how it all works, I can follow with the proper excitement. Knows when to hold back.
J. Lee Thompson for The Guns of Navarone
first and only nomination; DGA Award Nominee, Golden Globe Nominee
While some sequences do seem to go on longer than necessary, on the whole, it's constantly moving and always exciting - even long dialogue scenes can be as exciting as a night-time mountain climb, a credit to Thompson's staging and work with actors.
Also in the conversation:
Marlon Brando for One-Eyed Jacks (DGA Award Nominee) - Believes way too much in pauses, but he's almost got a perfect movie. ****
Frank Capra for Pocketful of Miracles (DGA Award Nominee) - Good fun! ***
Jack Clayton for The Innocents (NBR Award Winner, DGA Award Nominee) - Little room left for ambiguity and yet...those performances! The atmosphere! ****
Blake Edwards for Breakfast at Tiffany's (DGA Award Nominee) - We all know the issue, and it looms large. An otherwise winning film. ****
Peter Glenville for Summer and Smoke (DGA Award Nominee) - Poorly judged on almost every level. **
John Huston for The Misfits (DGA Award Nominee) - Probably the best possible version that could be done! ***
Elia Kazan for Splendor in the Grass (DGA Award Nominee) - 😬 **
Henry Koster for Flower Drum Song (DGA Award Nominee) - Transitions aren't always perfect, but boy, do I love what he did overall. ****
Mervyn LeRoy for A Majority of One (DGA Award Nominee) - Carefully-calibrated throughout to make the greatest impact by the end, and that ain't hay. ****
Philip Leacock for Hand in Hand (DGA Award Nominee) - didn't see it!
Joshua Logan for Fanny (DGA Award Nominee) - It looks beautiful and it's well-acted. What's to dislike? ***
Anthony Mann for El Cid (DGA Award Nominee, Golden Globe Nominee) - The scale looks astounding, but he does surprisingly little with it - and yet...I was entertained. ***
Robert Mulligan for The Great Impostor (DGA Award Nominee) - Funny! ***
Daniel Petrie for A Raisin in the Sun (DGA Award Nominee) - Despite rarely leaving that single set, Petrie overcomes any feeling of "theatre" by trusting his performers, the material, his camera. *****
Robert Stevenson for The Absent-Minded Professor (DGA Award Nominee) - Good! ***
Peter Ustinov for Romanoff and Juliet (DGA Award Nominee) - didn't see it!
William Wyler for The Children's Hour (DGA Award Nominee, Golden Globe Nominee) - Oh my gosh, what a mood he creates: horrifying, stifling, empathetic, tragic. *****
For the first of only two times in Oscar history, the Academy handed the award to a team:
And so do Iiiiiiiiiii!:
JEROME ROBBINS & ROBERT WISE
Next week! We start with Best Supporting Actress - Fay Bainter (The Children's Hour), Judy Garland (Judgment at Nuremberg), Lotte Lenya (The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone), Una Merkel (Summer and Smoke) and Rita Moreno (West Side Story).

The report also covers the market and brand shares in terms of volume and value sales of major aesthetic lasers and energy devices global manufacturers along with perception and willingness level of dermatologist, aestheticians and med-spas for single technology and multi-platform based devices. The report provides an entailing view on the import and domestic market of laser and energy based devices with each technology and non – invasive or minimally invasive procedures. The publication also discusses the future outlook and prospects for the sector along with the investment set-up of a skin clinics, trends and development and macro-economic factors affecting the industry performance.
The aesthetic equipments market in India is constituted by laser or energy based devices, dermal fillers and neurotoxins. The laser and energy-based devices have accounted for the largest share of aesthetic devices market in India. The major applications of laser and energy-based devices include hair removal, scar removal/skin resurfacing, skin rejuvenation and skin tightening.
A majority of the energy-based aesthetic equipments are used for body shaping and skin tightening purposes. The body contouring and skin tightening segment has also showcased an increasing over the span of last five years (2010-2014). The growing obese population, especially in the urban areas, has resulted to an increase in the number of bariatric surgeries and which subsequently has increased the demand for body contouring devices. The Indian market for aesthetic lasers and energy devices including body and skin tightening devices has been majorly driven by the many underlying factors responsible for augmenting the demand for the aesthetic surgeries.
India is still in its nascent stage in the aesthetic products and equipments market with a share contribution of around ~% of the total revenue of the aesthetic device market in Asia in 2013. Therefore, with the rise in the number of cosmetic procedures year on year, India as a market presents favorable business opportunities for the aesthetic device marketers and manufacturers. The market for aesthetic lasers and energy devices in the country is entirely import-driven, with nearly ~% of the total market being constituted by imported devices in 2014. The revenue generated by aesthetic laser and energy-based devices in India has increased by ~% to INR ~ million in 2014 as compared to INR ~ million in 2013.
The laser and energy device market in India is majorly dominated by the foreign manufacturers such as Lumenis, Alma Lasers, Celeste (Laseroptek), Cynosure and several others from the US and Europe, who either market their products directly in India through their Indian based subsidiaries or they have an arrangement with domestic distributors who market the products in India made by these foreign manufacturers on lucrative commissions. Rapid entry of foreign manufacturers into the market especially low cost device manufacturers from China and South Korea has increased the competition in the market.
The future prospects of the aesthetic lasers and energy devices market in India is expected to be driven by huge demand for aesthetic/cosmetic procedures in India during the review period 2015-2019. The increasing arrival of medical tourists in India for treatments, with the rise in India's position as a preferred destination for cosmetic surgery is expected to provide a major impetus to the demand of aesthetic devices by the skin clinics and hospitals across the country. The aesthetic devices market in India is expected to grow with a CAGR of around ~% during the period of 2014-2019.

Seeing through fake news
The term 'yellow journalism' started in the late 1800's when two of the largest New York City newspaper publishers, Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, respectively began sensationalizing and creating fake news leading up to the Spanish-American war. Both publishers were infamous in their ability to twist the facts, leave out details and regularly make up news – all to sell more newspapers.
Today, fed by social media, search engine optimization, bots, ego or one-sided agendas, we as a global society are faced with overwhelming and increasing numbers of so-called fake news – real looking false stories or blog posts written solely for sensationalistic impact and deception. Driven by technology that can spread fake news around the globe at unparalleled speed, hundreds of thousands and even multi-millions of people are consuming fake news either intentionally or unintentionally.
No topic is immune from fake news, but in the final months of the last U.S. presidential election, fake news reached staggering new heights. According to a news analysis from BuzzFeedNEWS, "In the final three months of the US presidential campaign, the top-performing fake election news stories on Facebook generated more engagement than the top stories from major news outlets such as the New York Times, Washington Post, Huffington Post, NBC News, and others …."
The BuzzFeedNEWS analysis went on to say that the "20 top-performing false election stories … generated 8,711,000 shares, reactions, and comments on Facebook." Compared to 7,367,000 of "the 20 best-performing election stories from 19 major news websites."
One of the most important aspects of news consumption is to think and act like a fact checker. Sourcing Mike Caulfield, director of blended and networked learning at Washington State University in Vancouver, NPR says, "…Fact-checkers read laterally – moving quickly away from the original text, opening up a series of tabs in a browser to judge the credibility of its author and the sources it cites."
With so much fake news available, the begging question is how to see through it all? Here are five ways to get to the truth compiled by several sources:
Be aware of politically framed content. Psychology Today says (emphasis added), "Check your biases. Does it take you less than 2 seconds to vehemently agree or disagree with an article or headline? Then it's probably framed to increase polarization. Psychological framing sets the stage for how we process information, a particular political frame can bias us from the outset! ("Crime rate highest among immigrants"). Much research shows that we selectively attend to and process information that we agree with more fluently than information we disagree with, this is also known as "confirmation or myside bias". If you find yourself strongly agreeing or disagreeing with an article within seconds, its purpose is probably to get under your skin and fuel conflict between different groups in society!"
Look at the quotes in a story. According to NPR, "Most publications have multiple sources in each story who are professionals and have expertise in the fields they talk about. If it's a serious or controversial issue, there are more likely to be quotes — and lots of them. Look for professors or other academics who can speak to the research they've done. And if they are talking about research, look up those studies."
Find the original reports. Geek.com says, "Fake news doesn't always mean false news. The bold fake news sites simply make things up out of whole cloth or take uncorroborated social media posts as truth, but more often you'll see a story that happened but is being told to you in a very specific, misguided way. That's why you need to drill down to the original source of the story."
Follow your gut. NPR, who has written much on the topic of fake news, said, "Which of these statements seems more trustworthy to you? 1) Americans are drowning in a tsunami of ignorance! There is a conspiracy at the highest levels to replace all knowledge with propaganda and disinformation. 2) A recent Stanford University report found that more than 80 percent of middle schoolers didn't understand that the phrase "sponsored content" meant "advertising." For most of the NPR audience, this shouldn't be a tough question. The first sentence is a florid, mislabeled statement of opinion with an unverifiable, overgeneralized, ideological claim ("conspiracy at the highest levels"). The second is more measured in tone and limited in scope. And, it has a link that goes straight to the original source: a press release from a reputable university."
Search to see if other news outlets are reporting it. Huffington Post says, "If a story looks suspicious or claims to reveal major news, search to see if other news outlets are also reporting the story. A single article from a suspicious source making a grand claim should be viewed with heavy skepticism. If no reliable news outlets are also reporting the story, then it's very likely fake."
It is clear media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter understand the power they wield in the distribution of fake news. Facebook indicated they plan to thin out fake news or provide ways for their community to tell the difference between fake and real news.
In a Facebook statement on fake news, Mark Zuckerberg, said, "We don't want any hoaxes on Facebook. Our goal is to show people the content they will find most meaningful, and people want accurate news. We have already launched work enabling our community to flag hoaxes and fake news, and there is more we can do here. We have made progress, and we will continue to work on this to improve further."
Though fake news has always been a part of society, it today seems to be used at an ever-increasing pace. Following these five steps along with others that are available, people can see through fake news. Additionally, you can use these sources to find out if stories or topics are fake or fact: Politifact, Snopes, Media Bias/Fact Check, and Fact Check.
Of course, writers, bloggers, and journalists could all decide to write only accurate stories based on fact and using accurate sources and analysis making it easier for us all to consume 'real news.'

Irate Israeli Airline Passenger Creates Bomb Scare
An irate Israeli passenger dealing with an oversold flight and lost luggage created a massive bomb scare in Newark Int'l Airport on Sunday.

Ben Gurion International AirportIsrael news photo: Flash 90
Have you ever lost your temper because you've missed a connection or lost your luggage on what should have been a nice holiday, after sitting on an intercontinental flight for 10 hours or more?
An irate Israeli passenger whose luggage made the plane to Florida, but whose family did not because the flight was oversold, created a massive bomb scare in Newark Int'l Airport on Sunday.
The passenger, 44-year-old Eran Hess, was outraged to discover that although his bags had made the connecting flight upon arrival from Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, he and his family had not.
"I am going to tell the TSA (Transportation Security Authority) I put a bomb in my bag and get my bag back," sources quoted him as saying to a United Airlines worker.
Then he and his family disappeared into the crowd.
Airline employees became concerned, and then worried.
Airport security immediately went on alert, with a dozen officers searching for the irate passenger, his wife and two children. Travelers were delayed as officials contacted the United Airlines flight to Miami, stopping it just before takeoff.
Security personnel returned the aircraft to the gate for inspection, with 167 passengers and six crew members held up for nearly three hours as each checked bag was removed and sniffed by dogs. Passengers were taken to a remote area of the tarmac in special buses while the aircraft was swept.
An airline official informed the displaced passengers that a man who had been bumped from the flight was angry about his bags being on the plane without him, and had claimed one contained a bomb.
Hess, meanwhile, was caught two terminals away, trying to board an American Airlines flight to Florida, according to a spokesperson for the Port Authority who spoke with the NY Post daily newspaper.
He was charged with "creating a false public alarm."

Ethel Louise Atwell, 47: Kidnapped From A Parking Lot in 1978
Home » Ethel Louise Atwell, 47: Kidnapped From A Parking Lot in 1978
Skull of Child Jane Doe Recovered In Louisiana In 2007
The last time anyone saw 47-year-old (some reports state she was 42) Ethel Louise Atwell was seven days before Halloween in 1978. She made it to work at the Staten Island Development Center (formerly known as the infamous Willowbrook State School). The center was an institution for mentally disabled children and Ethel worked there as an aide to a physical therapist. At six o'clock in the morning, she arrived and parked her vehicle behind Building 47. Mysteriously, however, Ethel never made it inside the facility.
A little after Ethel got out of her car, two female employees inside of the center heard a commotion outside in the parking lot. A male voice said, "Come on, come on," and Ethel could be heard replying, "No, you'll beat me." Ethel's scream immediately followed.
Working quickly to help a co-worker they thought was in need, the two employees called the police. When authorities arrived Ethel was gone, but they did find her purse, an earring, one of her shoes, three black buttons torn from her coat, and half of her set of dentures. All of her items were strewn on the ground beside her car. Her keys were eventually recovered after they were found approximately 75 feet away in nearby woods. Although they combed the area thoroughly hoping to find any sign of Ethel, she has never been located.
During the investigation, detectives did have a suspect by the name of Andre Rand. The drifter lived in a campsite in the woods near the Staten Island Development Center and was convicted in the case of Jennifer Schweiger. She was a 12-year-old girl with Down Syndrome who was kidnapped and found murdered in the area of Rand's campsite. While he was found guilty of her kidnapping, the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict in her murder so Rand ultimately escaped that charge. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Andre Rand
That wasn't the extent of Rand's criminal behaviors. In 1981, seven-year-old Holly Hughes went missing and was never seen again. In 2004, Rand was convicted of her kidnapping. Investigators believe he's also responsible for other missing persons including Alice Pereia (disappeared in 1972); Tiahease Jackson (disappeared in 1983); and Henry Gafforio (disappeared in 1984); as well as a handful of others. All of the missing persons potentially linked to Rand were from the Staten Island area except for one, Audrey Nerenberg (disappeared in 1977). Reports state that while in prison, Rand bragged about his murders to fellow inmates, comparing himself to notorious serial killer Ted Bundy.
The only connection that police had between Ethel and Rand was the close proximity from where she was last seen and heard to where he was stationed. There is no evidence that he is directly linked to Ethel's disappearance, but he is still a person of interest.
At the time of her disappearance, Ethel Louise Atwell stood 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighed approximately 156 to 165 pounds. She's described as having black/dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a long blue coat with black shoes, one of which was recovered at the scene. She wore dentures. There isn't any information regarding whether or not she had any unique or distinguishing marks on her body.
The two female employees who partially witnessed the attack on Ethel provided information to the police for a sketch of the perpetrator. However, they did say that it was dark and the street lights weren't on, so it was difficult for them to get a good look at the man responsible for their friend's disappearance.

Ethel's disappearance still remains a mystery.

Here's Why an Alaskan Loves the Tiny Arctic Town of Wiseman
By Carl Johnson
Photographer/Owner, Alaska Photo Treks
Of the 29 wooden structures built between 1905 and 1950, only about a quarter of them remain.
It takes 13 hours to drive the 630 miles north from Anchorage to the small Arctic community of Wiseman. Flying would be much faster, but it's a stunning drive—so I've always driven.
In fact, as an outdoor and wildlife photographer based in Anchorage, I've been driving up to this part of the state since 2007, when I did an artist residency in the Gates of the Arctic National Park. One autumn I happened upon Wiseman. I was hooked on its charm and beauty. And in the years since, it's become my base of operations for photography trips.
I certainly wasn't the first person to be seduced by the area's rugged wilds. One of the founders of The Wilderness Society, Robert Marshall, first came to Wiseman in the early 1930s. Unlike most people visiting the area at the time, he wasn't seeking a fortune in gold, but sought to use the community as a launching point for expeditions into the Central Brooks Range.
Here's why I love it.
The Heart of Arctic Adventure
Wiseman sits on the shores of the Middle Fork of the Koyukuk River, just inside the southern edge of the Brooks Range. It's surrounded by jagged peaks of granite—massive testaments to the power of tectonics. These towering peaks will surround you as you drive up the Dalton Highway from Wiseman, past tributary rivers that have carved stunning valleys. And the nearby Gates of the Arctic National Park provides tons of routes for backpacking or packrafting. People will also sometimes raft from Wiseman to the community of Bettles, located downstream at the confluence of the Koyukuk and John Rivers.
The diversity of the landscape is impressive and inspiring. Highlights include the Dietrich River (which is surrounded by the massive peaks of Mt. Dillon and Mt. Sukakpak), the Chandalar Shelf, and Atigun Pass.
When I'm in the area for landscape and aurora borealis photography, I explore the stretch of the Dalton Highway between Wiseman and Galbraith Lake, 87 miles to the north. The diversity of the landscape is impressive and inspiring. Highlights include the Dietrich River (which is surrounded by the massive peaks of Mt. Dillon and Mt. Sukakpak), the Chandalar Shelf, and Atigun Pass.
A Piece of History
Today, Wiseman is no longer the bustling trading station it was when Robert Marshall arrived, some 90 years ago—there are now just 13 year-round residents. But you can still learn a lot about that time, and about the people who live there now.
The historic Wiseman Trading Company.
When driving to Wiseman, you turn off the Dalton Highway at mile post 189, following a gravel road that parallels the Middle Fork of the Koyukuk River, occasionally passing through groves of trees. You know you're in Wiseman when you reach a clearing with scattered log cabins. While 29 wooden structures were built between 1905 and 1950, only about a quarter of them remain. There's also an "outdoor museum," consisting of rusting pieces of railroad and mining equipment. It's here that longtime resident Jack Reakoff greets visitors on northbound tours to gather them at the historic log cabin post office (his home serves as the modern-day mail pickup location) and tells them about the history and life today.
As you walk around Wiseman, you'll notice other pieces of history as well. The cabin that serves as the church was constructed in 1915 and featured in Robert Marshall's book about the community, Arctic Village: A 1930s Portrait of Wiseman Alaska. It's also hard to miss the historic log trading post erected by the Wiseman Trading Company: It's open to the public and filled with materials and supplies from Wiseman's past.
You'll even find history at a local inn, the cozy Arctic Getaway Bed and Breakfast; stay here and you'll have breakfast in the 1910-era gold rush dance hall. That alone is a pretty great reason to drive 13 hours to get here.

I am very pleased with the Security Guard, I am surprised with the very good internet connection. I am happy with the food we had for breakfast. I am amazed with the very accommodating staff they have, It is indeed a very very good stay, highly recommended.
staffs are accommodating but hotel policy s****, like they charge a half day price for an extension of 4 hours which is not practical nor helpful at all for backpackers who have a late night flight. Not so relaxing too as you can hear movements of furnitures from upstairs and rooms from the other side and water pressure is too weak, it will help to have a pail and dipper inside the shower room rather than stay longer in front of the shower head to cleanse.
They have no extra beds. They have no high chairs for babies. In short, the hotel is not family-friendly.
Place, food, service, staff, room are terrific! I am more than satisfied with my stay at The Loft Hotel!
Nice and clean room. Close location to the airport. Staff were courteous.
relaxing and comfortable. staff are courteous and accommodating.
The place is just a walking distance to Robinson. Wifi is really fast and reliable.

Q: Compress in Python Decompress in C# Problem

*

*Compressing long string 4k+ in python

*Decompress it in C#

What did I try to do:
1. Python
def deflate_and_base64_encode( string_val ):
    zlibbed_str = zlib.compress( string_val )
    compressed_string = zlibbed_str[2:-1]
    return base64.b64encode(compressed_string )

2. C#
public static string Inflate(string pythonZipped)
{
    byte[] gzBuffer = Convert.FromBase64String(pythonZipped);
    using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
    {
        ms.Write(gzBuffer, 0, gzBuffer.Length);
        var buffer = new byte[ms.Length];
        ms.Position = 0;
        using (var infS = new DeflateStream(ms,Ionic.Zlib.CompressionMode.Decompress, true))
        {
            infS.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
        }
        return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffer);
    }
}

But get some weird results for example:
Python.deflate_and_base64_encode('1'*1000)
Results in MzQcBaNgFAx3AABQpr8=
C#.Inflate("MzQcBaNgFAx3AABQpr8")
Results in 11111111111111 instead of 1000 ones
Can you explain what I am doing wrong or give me other way to acheive what I am tring to do?

A: The problem begins when 2 characters from the beginning and one from the end are chopped off. compressed_string = zlibbed_str[2:-1]
That line of code destroys header information in the first 2 characters, and even an immediate zlib.decompress can't make sense of what's left. (My guess: C#'s zlib implementation does its best to reconstruct what's left of the stream without a valid header. Python's, as you'll see below, is more strict.)
>>> import zlib
>>> z = zlib.compress('1'*1000)
>>> c = z[2:-1]
>>> zlib.decompress(z)
'1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111'
>>> zlib.decompress(c)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
zlib.error: Error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check

A: I had the same problem.
I solved it.
"var buffer = new byte[ms.Length];" causes that problem.
The buffer size is too small.
Increase buffer size like this "var buffer = new byte[4096];"
or "var buffer = new byte[ms.Length*1024];".

VBScript (short for Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an Active Scripting language, developed by Microsoft, which uses the Component Object Model to access elements of the environment within which
it's running (e.g. FileSystemObject or FSO used to create, read, update and delete files).
The language's syntax reflects its origins as a limited variation of Microsoft's Visual Basic programming language.
VBScript has been installed by default in every desktop release of Microsoft Windows since Windows 98; as part of Windows Server since Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack;
and optionally with Windows CE (depending on the device it is installed on).
A VBScript script must be executed within a host environment, of which there are several provided with Microsoft Windows, including: Windows Script Host (WSH), Internet Explorer (IE),
Internet Information Services (IIS). Additionally, The VBScript hosting environment is embeddable in other programs, through technologies such as the Microsoft Script control (msscript.ocx).
VBScript began as part of the Microsoft Windows Script Technologies, which were launched in 1996, initially targeted at web developers. During a period of just over two years,
the VBScript and JScript languages advanced from version 1.0 to 2.0, and over that time it gained support from Windows system administrators seeking an automation tool more powerful
than the batch language first developed in the late 1970s.
In version 5.0, the functionality of VBScript was increased with new features such as: regular expressions; classes; the With statement; the Eval, Execute, and ExecuteGlobal functions
to evaluate and execute script commands built during the execution of another script; a function-pointer system via GetRef, and Distributed COM (DCOM) support.
In version 5.5, SubMatches were added to the regular expression class in VBScript, to finally allow VBScript script authors to capture the text within the expression's groups.
That capability before was only possible through JScript.
With the advent of the .NET framework, the scripting team took the decision to implement future support for VBScript within ASP.NET for web development, and therefore no new versions of the
VBScript engine would be developed and it moved over to being supported by Microsoft's Sustaining Engineering Team, who are responsible for bug fixes and security enhancements.
For Windows system administrators, the suggestion is that they migrate to using Windows PowerShell.
However version 5.6 of the scripting engine will continue to be shipped with future releases of Microsoft Windows and IIS.
