Back at work on the Monday I opened an email from a friend responding to a message I had sent before the weekend. I'd made some wisecrack about my cycle helmet constituting 'data protection' and as I read the email's enigmatic post-script panic mounted: 'It's a pity Balance didn't know about "data protection"…' I went straight over to the Threshold House site and read the devastating news. Still very affected by the death a few months earlier of another friend, Andrew Chumbley, I read the Coil webpage and my whole mentality reduced to a humming white dot – like the television screen used to do at midnight in the 1970s. 'Are you alright?' asked my colleague across the desk, acupuncturist James Thirlwall, to which I could only mumble, 'No…another friend of mine has just died – I think I need to go outside…' Over the preceding few years Balance had acquired a dangerous habit of getting literally falling-down drunk; now he had taken his last drunken dive – and the Black Sun had risen. That evening my partner Astrid Bauer and I sat and listened to the first Musick to Play in the Dark album from end to end, weeping throughout. For several years afterwards I was emotionally incapable of listening to any Coil tracks that had Balance singing on them.
I went up to Weston for the funeral on November 22nd with Astrid – it was her birthday, though that year it was no birthday for her – and my old friend David Mearns who, sadly, was to die in summer 2010, also from the effects of a long dependence on alcohol. Checking into the Beechfield Hotel, which Sleazy had suggested, we headed upstairs to dump our bags, negotiating the empty corridors and sudden, sharp turns and stairways. We seemed to be the only guests and the place had the classic desolate presence of an out-of-season hotel – it was like auditioning for The Shining. We regrouped in David's room for a couple of fortifying vodka and cokes served in b & b teacups before driving up to Coil's house.
The Coil family home was a massive Victorian mansion standing on the hill at Weston-super-Mare. It had twenty-nine rooms according to Balance, six more than Elvis Presley's 'Graceland', though in its labyrinthine architecture it's possible a few more might have evaded the count. The enormous living-room window had originally boasted a view over the Severn estuary, until the brother of the house's builder and first owner had erected his own mansion across the street out of spite. The fatal staircase stretched up in two elevations through the centre of the main house; the sides which formed the rails and overlooked the hallway were of broad, polished stone, but they seemed worryingly low, hardly more than waist-high; I wondered how the former occupants coped, when the place served for a time as a home for the elderly – but they probably used the lift that had been installed. If only Balance had done the same. The sense of vertigo induced by the low sides urged you to ascend or descend on the other side of the steps keeping close to the wall, but that meant passing an additional hazard – a distinct and palpable 'presence' that brooded in one corner of the landing. I felt this during a visit in 2002 and asked Balance, 'What's with the "Thing on the Stairs" then?' – 'Oh, that' he said, then related that on one occasion when he was tripping with some friends he had had to arm them with ritual daggers, urging 'Cut it away! Hack it away!' so they could get past. 'It was like – meshes' he said. Whether the 'thing' played any part in his final tragedy I would not venture to say – I simply record the fact. Balance also said that he'd come across an old man standing at the window of one of the upstairs rooms, a man who patently wasn't there – it was clearly a house with a history, a place where you would never feel, or be, quite alone.
It was late evening by the time we arrived; Sleazy welcomed us at the door and took us through to the living room, which was very dimly lit. I could see that there was a group of people dispersed around the various chairs and sofas, but it was difficult to make out who they were. There was a little quiet, sporadic talk between them but nothing much. We sat down next to a figure in the shadows who turned out to be Ossian Brown so we greeted each other and chatted awhile. As my eyes adjusted to the low light I could make out Pierce and Massimo (the Plastic Spider Things) and David Tibet and his wife; a woman in the corner I guessed must be Rose MacDowall because of her Glasgow accent. Tibet slumped in the sofa speaking hardly a word – I'd never seen him so utterly deflated. A little later we talked with Sleazy in the kitchen while he poured drinks – I made some comment about 'an accident that was waiting to happen' and he said that every time he'd returned from working abroad he would spend the flight in a state of anxiety about what he might find waiting for him at home. Sleazy ushered us through to the library where Geff's body was laid out for viewing. It was the first time I was face to face with the body of a friend, and I struggled to fully comprehend the reality of the scene, that Geff really wasn't going to suddenly sit up and shout, 'Fooled you!' Arranged and dressed with care and love by Ian Johnstone and Ossian Brown, the corpse of Jhonn Balance was an incredible work of art. We spent a long time beside the coffin, saying our goodbyes, as you do – Astrid said she felt that Geff was flitting around the edges of the room, laughing, perhaps as much at his own predicament as ours, and I'm certain he was – before joining the others in the courtyard at the back of the house. Part of the yard was cut directly out of the rock of the hill and a small gate led into the steeply-rising woodland where Balance had loved to roam, absorbed in the greenness and the secret languages of birdsong. Late in the evening the guests dispersed to their rooms; as we hugged Sleazy on our way to the door we heard Rose weeping in the library – her exquisite voice become a high, keening sob over the body of her friend.
The morning of November 23rd began with a gathering of a few of Jhonn's friends over drinks in a seafront bar. After about twenty minutes a hearse was seen speeding past along the front carrying the white coffin, so we leapt to the cars and shot after it. The venue for the service was the modern chapel of a large 'funeral resort' set in large grounds with facilities for services, wakes, and woodland burials. On the walls of the chapel were two large psychedelic photos of Balance, and the air was heavy with incense; Sleazy stood waiting as master of ceremonies at the head of the chapel, wearing his fluffy white polar bear suit – the open coffin was positioned in the middle of the aisle, surrounded by a huge display of vegetables including broccoli and gigantic cabbages. We realised we were about to witness Coil's final performance. Seated near the back I scanned the room and recognised a number of Jhonn's friends and fellow-artists and musicians; on the right of the aisle sat a group of middle-aged to elderly people wearing suits who were obviously relatives. Alison from World Serpent was seated in front of us – the only member of the company who had retained a friendship with Coil after the label's collapse. Her small son sat on the floor in the aisle playing with a toy car and narrating his game to himself; sometimes his little voice rose into a quiet moment in the service, the sort of behaviour that would normally earn a rebuke, but that day the sound of a child's innocent pleasure in the midst of death just seemed so right, no-one could begrudge it.
The service ended with a masterstroke of programming: the assembly stood and sang heartily along to the choruses of 'We'll Meet Again' as Johnny Cash's version from American IV played. Balance's artist friends and middle-aged relatives – the young and old, weirdos and straights – united in a song which, on that day, appeared a mystical truism concealed within a sentimental tearjerker, while Balance's coffin was carried out of the chapel. It was at this point that a sublime moment of Coilian surrealism was created, though it was only fully appreciated by those of us at the back of the chapel. A woven willow coffin is a very flexible thing and the coffin bearers lifting it up – Ian, Ossian, Pierce and Massimo – were of widely-differing heights, and probably had no opportunity to rehearse; blinded by tears, they also had to tread around, over and upon the enormous vegetables around the catafalque. All of which meant that the coffin twisted and bent in their hands, and continued to jerk about alarmingly once the party got it shouldered, causing them to lurch under its weight towards the door at a canter. It looked for a moment as if Balance was going to make his final exit skating down the aisle and we would be picking the five of them up; we listened for the crash but none came so I assumed they had reached the hearse without mishap. Everyone assembled outside to bid a last farewell to Balance as his body went off to the crematorium in a Victorian-style glass-sided black coach, drawn by ostrich-plumed black horses – a bit of a gothic monstrosity, I thought, just like Balance. Sleazy, in his fluffy white suit, watched until it was out of sight and then, finally, he began to sob. (Who would have imagined that a mere six years later Sleazy would die on almost the very same date?) Ian turned abruptly and stalked away across the lawn, puffing furiously on a roll-up while his dogs jumped around his feet.
The wake was held in a grand converted barn on the site. In the foyer a table of Balance memorabilia had been set out with photos from various times and places. Astrid and I contributed a framed print of photo-booth pictures of Balance looking 'dirty Irish' as he said, which he sent me when I wanted to paint his portrait ('Paint me as a dead soul!' he had decreed with faux dramatic flourish, and I did), and a small black meteorite, a present from one of their Thailand trips that Balance dubbed 'a turd from outer space', which of course it is. We talked with Balance's mother and offered our sympathy, then walked with her through to the reception room. Inside, the buffet table was crowned by an enormous pyramid of broccoli florets piled up in a bowl ('Remember to eat your greens…'); we went to fill our plates – the natural divertive activity when finding yourself in a room full of people that you mostly don't know – and I found myself entering a bit of a scrum. I turned to see whom I was shoulder to shoulder with and it was Cosey Fanni Tutti – 'This is intolerable,' I joked, 'being jostled for the cheese-sticks by one of the greatest guitarists of all time!' Cosey peered at me slightly non-plussed – perhaps no-one had accused her of being 'a guitarist' before, let alone one of the greatest, but given her influence (along with two or three others) on the more experimentally-minded guitarists of the Punk and post-Punk generations, it was a true word though spoken in jest. The party was convivial and noisy with plenty of drink flowing and punctuated by frequent laughter as people reminisced about Balance. It's always the best part of any funeral and suspends the grief for a little while – an all-too brief respite between the shock of the death and the ordeal of going through the effects of the deceased. So for the next few hours we circulated, catching up with old friends and meeting some of the main characters in Balance's latter life including Coil's housekeeper Marilyn, a lovely old girl to whom we expressed our condolences: 'He was my baby…' she sighed with a teary but effusively proud smile. Balance had previously told me 'Marilyn's our Mrs. E.' – referring to the dotty housekeeper of Rawlinson End – adding, 'She's great – she's cleaned up my vomit and poo loads of times…' Sleazy sat in a corner of the side-benches, as warm and affectionate as ever although he was obviously exhausted, and no doubt emotionally shattered.
The room began to empty as the event wound down and we decided to make a move for home. Walking towards the car park we saw Chris and Cosey ahead of us, hands stuffed in jacket pockets and heads down against the grey autumn skies; suddenly they straightened, put their arms round each others' shoulders, and began to skip off down the path like children. Remembering Balance's delight in the amount of mischief, laughter and creative folly that is there to be extracted from the tragic pantomimes of both life and death, it was the best possible finale to the day.
One morning a few weeks after the funeral, a package appeared on my doormat with the mail; I picked it up, read the address, and nearly dropped it again – it was in Balance's spidery-calligraphic felt-tip handwriting. He had often sent copies of Coil CDs and vinyls – what was he sending me now from beyond the grave? On closer inspection I realised that the writing wasn't Balance's at all but Ossian Brown's; the gruelling process of sorting out Jhonn's possessions was in progress up at the Threshold House, and Ossian had found a copy of the Coil compilation The Golden Hare that Balance had inscribed to Astrid and myself but not got around to posting. He had dated it 'The 23rd of Always', which I will forever think of as 'Balance's Day'. I don't know quite when it is, but when it comes around I expect, and hope, that we will indeed meet again.
Many, many thanks to Ossian Brown for additional details that escaped my memory!

COLLEGE STATION - Texas Task Force 1 (TX-TF1) swiftwater rescue teams have been demobilized by the Texas Division of Emergency Management after two days of heavy rains throughout Central and Northeast Texas. The task force was mobilized on Wednesday morning to assist local jurisdictions after severe weather dropped as much as 12 inches of rainfall on New Braunfels in several hours.
As the rains weaken and move out of Texas by Thursday evening, members of Texas Task Force 1 have been demobilized and are on their way back to their jurisdictions this evening. The deployment was a combined effort that included the Texas Task Force 1 and the Texas Military Forces. The response included four helicopter rescue technicians working aboard UH-60 helicopters from the Texas Military Forces and seven swiftwater rescue teams.
This deployment was part of the State's effort to preposition and assist jurisdictions during this severe weather event.
Texas Task Force 1 is sponsored by the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) and is comprised of more than 450 personnel representing more than 60 jurisdictions and agencies from across the state of Texas, and is one of 28 teams in the national urban search and rescue system under FEMA. Texas Task Force 1 and TEEX coordinate statewide requests for search and rescue.

Black Panther Party Series From Laurence Fishburne in the Works at Freeform
Earl Gibson III/FilmMagic
'Party Girls,' which has a script-to-series commitment, is inspired by Ericka Suzanne, the daughter of Elaine Brown, the first female leader of the 1960s political movement.
Freeform is looking to explore the life of Black Panther Party leader Elaine Brown and her daughter, Ericka Suzanne.
Disney's younger-skewing cable network is developing Party Girls, a single-camera dramedy inspired by the true story of Ericka Suzanne, the daughter of the first female leader of the Black Panther Party, Elaine Brown. The 1970s-set dramedy has received a sizable script-to-series commitment. That means that if network executives are happy with the script, the project would bypass the traditional pilot process and be ordered straight to series.
Dayna Lynne North (Insecure) will pen the script and serve as executive producer and showrunner, should Party Girls move forward. She will exec produce alongside Laurence Fishburne and his Cinema Gypsy banner.
The potential series is set in Oakland, California, in the 1970s and follows Suzanne's attempt to survive her adolescence as her mother rises in the Black Panther Party. The story will explore Brown and Suzanne's unconventional mother-daughter relationship while balancing the stakes of the movement with coming-of-age humor. It asks the question of how you rebel when your mother is leading a rebellion.
Party Girls hails from Katie O'Connell Marsh-led Platform One Media, the indie studio formed by TPG Growth's Evolution Media and Liberty Global. The company's Elisa Ellis (Narcos), Cinema Gypsy's Fishburne and Helen Sugland (ABC's Black-ish and its Freeform spinoff, Grown-ish), Picture It Productions' Lance Krall and Peter Siaggas also exec produce.
The news comes as Freeform is currently searching for a new head of originals after Karey Burke was promoted to ABC Entertainment president. Burke was tapped to replace Channing Dungey, who exited the Disney-owned broadcast network after Fox execs were brought over as part of the $72 billion asset sale to the Mouse House. Tom Ascheim currently serves as Freeform president.
Party Girls arrives as part of Freeform's push to focus on a demo it dubbed "becomers," those experiencing a series of firsts, like love and first jobs. Should Party Girls be picked up to series, it would join a scripted roster at the cable network that includes Cloak and Dagger, The Bold Type, Siren, Grown-ish, Good Trouble, Besties, Everything's Gonna Be Okay and the Pretty Little Liars spinoff, The Perfectionists. Freeform is also expected to hand out a series order for its new immigration-themed take on Party of Five.
Suzanne is repped by the law office of Adia Z. May. Fishburne and Sugland are with Paradigm and Del Shaw. Picture It is with Paradigm and Del Shaw. North is with CAA and Patti Felker and Dave Ryan.

# err-tree

`err-tree` is destined to help create complex error hierarchy & more readable errors.

It supports:

* Creating error hierarchy properly inheriting from the base Error object
* Easy internationalization of the error messages (i18next support embbed in)
* Error pretty printing
* Print a file exerpt of the file causing the error
    - With a customizable exerpt selection algorithm

Here is the rendering of an error message in the console:

![err-tree rendering](https://bytebucket.org/lsystems/err-tree/raw/tip/docs/images/err-tree-complex-beautifier.png)

err-tree is fully tested with mocha and code coverage is reported at 100% by istanbul. I will make my best to keep it that way.

## Creating new error types using the `errTree` function

`err-tree` is a function allowing you to create errors easily. Its prototype looks like:

```js
errTree(NewError[, BaseError = errTree.BasicError][, options = {}]);
```

### `NewError`

*String* or *Function*

`NewError` can be either a `String` or a constructor `Function`. If it is a `String` it will create a constructor `Function` with its value as a name. `errTree('myError')` will create a valid `myError` constructor.

```js
// Using a String
var MyError = errTree('MyError');

// Using a Function
var MyError2 = errTree(function MyError2() /* name is mandatory here */ {
  // do not forget to call the parent's constructor
  errTree.BasicError.apply(this, arguments);
});
```

### `BaseError`

*Optional* / *Function*

`BaseError` should contain a valid error created using `errTree()` or properly inheriting from `errTree.BasicError`. It defaults to `errTree.BasicError` itself if not provided.

```js
// Inherits fron errTree.BasicError
var MyError = errTree('MyError');
// Inherits from MyError
var MyError2 = errTree(function MyError2() /* name is mandatory here */ {
  // do not forget to call the parent's constructor
  MyError.apply(this, arguments);
}, MyError);
```

### `options`

*Optional* / *Object*

`options` are additional options you can provide for creating you error. Each option, if not set, will inherit the value of its first error parent that sets it (ultimately using the `errTree.BasicError` value if it was not set anywhere in the tree).

```js
// Inherits fron errTree.BasicError
var MyError = errTree('MyError', {
  // hide from the subtree the 500 value from BasicError
  // use 404 instead
  defaultCode: 404
});
// Inherits from MyError
var MyError2 = errTree(function MyError2() /* name is mandatory here */ {
  // do not forget to call the parent's constructor
  MyError.apply(this, arguments);
}, MyError, {
  // hide from the subtree the null value from BasicError
  // use 'my:error2' instead
  defaultNs: 'my:error2'
  // here defaultsCode is 404 because it inherits from MyError
});
```

Each option will be described below:

#### `options.defaultCode`

*Integer*

This options should be an `Integer`. `errTree.BasicError` has a `defaultCode` set at `500`.

You can use a `code` to better classify your errors. When creating an error, a `code` can always optionnaly be specified. If it is not provided, then `options.defaultCode` will be used.

We recommend if you do not have a scheme for classifying errors to try to stick with the `HTTP` error code nomenclature which is why `errTree.BasicError` defaults to `500`.

#### `options.defaultNs`

*String*

This option should be a `String`. To specify sub namespaces, use `:` like in `my:sub:namespace`. `errTree.BasicError` defaults to `''` (no namespace).

Each error can be created with a namespace (by default it does not have one) which can be used to contextualize where the error is thrown (by which piece of code). The namespace can be pretty printed with the error.

#### `options.beautifier`

*Function*

This option should define a valid beautifier. You can use one of the provided beautifiers (`default` and `complex`). To create one of those, you can use `errTree.beautifiers.get(name, options)`.

Beautifiers are responsible to make the error look good at printing time. More information on them and their configuration below.

Defaults to the internal `default` beautifier.

#### `options.messageHandler`

*Function*

This option should define a valid message handler. You can use one of the provided message handlers (`default` and `i18next`). To create one of those, you can use `errTree.messageHandlers.get(name, options)`.

Message handlers are responsible to finalize the error message in any way deemed useful (for example, the `i18next` message handler uses `i18next` to translate the message and embed in it any useful data).

Defaults to the internal `default` message handler.

#### `options.selectExerpt`

*Integer* or *String* or *Array of String* or *Function*

Some beautifiers may want to print a file exerpt of where the error happened. The problem is that the error is often created in a piece of code by a safeguard but the real error is caused by an invalid code in a previous call in the stack.

This option allows you to configure how the proper stack line is chosen to create the file exerpt.

It can be one of the following:
- an `Integer` (starts from `0`) that is the index of the line of the stack to use
- a `String` or an `Array of String`, that will be used to find a line of the stack containing a file matching (using `minimatch`) the provided pattern (or patterns).
- a `Function` taking as a parameter a context line object (see `errTree.parseStack` documentation below) returning a `Boolean`. The first line for which the function returns `true` will be used

In all cases, if no line is found using the provided value, it will select the first line.

This option defaults to `!node_modules/` in `errTree.BasicError`.

## Creating new error types manually

You can always define your errors completely manually (though this is not the recommended way) by doing so:

```js
var _ = require('lodash');
var util = require('util');
var errTree = require('err-tree');

function MyError() {
  errTree.BasicError.apply(this, arguments);
}
util.inherits(MyError, errTree.BasicError);
_.extend(MyError.prototype, {
  // options (defaultCode, defaultNs, …)
  // selectExerpt can only be a function, other formats are not handled
});
MyError.assert = errTree.createAssert(MyError);
```

## Instantiating errors

If you do not customize the error arguments by providing a specific constructor to `errTree()` or by creating your error manually, all errors inheriting from `errTree.BasicError` have a constructor matching the one in `errTree.BasicError`. It looks like `Error([namespace,] message[, code, [data, [devData]]])`.

```js
var errTree = require('err-tree');

var CustomNotFoundError = errTree('CustomNotFoundError', {defaultCode: 404});

// This error will use code = 404 (default value used before)
throw new CustomNotFoundError('my:lib', 'Data not found', {
  // some request data
}, {
  userPassword: 'password'
});

// This error will use code = 501
throw new CustomNotFoundError('my:lib2', 'Data not found', 501);
```

### `namespace`

*Optional* / *String*

The actual namespace the error is associated with. Defaults to `defaultNs`.

### `message`

*String*

The message associated to the error before it is handled by the error's message handler.

### `code`

*Optional* / *Integer*

The numeric code associated with the error. It defaults to `defaultCode`.

### `data`

*Optional* / *Object*

Data that should be associated with the error. It will be accessible in `err.data` and can be used by the error's message handler to create the final error message.

#### `data.origilalError`

*Optional* / *Error*

If provided, the renderer will use the stack of the provided error instead of its own stack. This can be pretty useful to use the stack of the original call after an async callback.

```js
function myAsyncFunction(cb) {
  var orig = new Error(); // If you build an errTree error here it will
                          // be more performant

  process.nextTick(function() {
    // something bad happen, so we decide to throw, the stack printed will
    // be the one containing the myAsyncFunction call
    throw new MyCustomError('message', {originalError: orig});
  });
}
```

### `devData`

*Optional* / *Object*

Likely sensitive data that should be associated to the error only when not in production. This is achieved by merging `data` and `devData` together when `process.env.NODE_ENV` is not equal to `production`.

## Beautifiers

### `default`

The `default` beautifier renders nearly exactly the stack as v8 does. The only major difference is that the namespace is inserted before the error message if one is specified. If anything else looks different it is likely a bug.

![err-tree default beautifier](https://bytebucket.org/lsystems/err-tree/raw/tip/docs/images/err-tree-default-beautifier.png)

It takes no option an an instance can be retrieved as easily as :

```js
errTree.beautifiers.get('default');
```

### `complex`

The `complex` beautifier is allowing for a much more complex usage. Colors, file exerpt, …. It is configurable using the `options` parameter:

```js
errTree.beautifiers.get('complex', {
  // do we use colors?
  colors: true,
  // do we add a file exerpt to the rendering?
  exerpt: true,
  // how many lines of code before the line of the stack in the exerpt
  exerptBefore: 3,
  // how many lines of code after the line of the stack in the exerpt
  exerptAfter: 3
})
```

![err-tree complex beautifier](https://bytebucket.org/lsystems/err-tree/raw/tip/docs/images/err-tree-complex-beautifier.png)

## Message handlers

### `default`

The `default` message handlers is an identity function (for now). It takes no options.

```js
errTree.messageHandlers.get('default');
```

### `i18next`

The `i18next` message handler is there to allow easy internationalization of error message.

This can look like:

```js
var MyError = errTree('MyError');

throw new MyError('some:ns', 'error_msg_key', {some: data}, {someDev: data});
```

It uses a single `i18next` option (for now) (to pass to it the `i18next` instance to use):

```js
errTree.messageHandlers.get('i18next', {i18next: myInitializedI18next})
```

For now, error messages are looked up in the `errors` locale namespace in this manner (lets take the previous example to illustrate the process):

- look for `errors:some.ns.MyError.error_msg_key`
- if it is not found, remove one namespace to look for `errors:some.MyError.error_msg_key`
- continuing on the same scheme with `errors:MyError.error_msg_key`
- then look for the message the same way without the error name: `errors:some.ns.error_msg_key`
- start poping out namespaces again: `errors:some.error_msg_key`
- and so on: `errors:error_msg_key`
- if it is not found at all: resolves `errors:key_not_found`

Translations are always passed the `data` (+`devData`) extended with:

- `ns`: `'errors'` (to force `i18next` to look into the `errors` namespace)
- `err.ns`: the namespace associated with the error
- `err.code`: the code associated with the error
- `err.strCode`: the key provided as a message to create the error
- `data`: `data` (+`devData`) in case the extension might have hidden something in the original data object
- `defaultValue`: `''` (to get an empty string if translation fails)
- `context`: `'dev'` (only set if `process.env.NODE_ENV` is not equal to `production`)

Here is a valid locale json file for the previous example:

```json
{
  "some": {
    "MyError": {
      "error_msg_key": "an error occured during __some__",
      "error_msg_key_dev": "an error occured during __some__ (with __someDev__)"
    }
  }
}
```

## Assertions

To help you write some safeguards in your file, an assert method is added on each error method created using `errTree()`. You can write the following:

```js
MyError.assert(myVarible === true, 'my:ns', 'message', 404, {}, {});
```

This will throw a MyError created with the arguments following the condition if it is `false`.

## Default beautifier & message handler

You can set a default beautifier & message handler by calling the following methods:

```js
// named form
errTree.setDefaultBeautifier('complex', options);
errTree.setDefaultMessageHandler('i18next', options);

// function form
errTree.setDefaultBeautifier(myBeautifier, options); // only onError in options
errTree.setDefaultMessageHandler(myMessageHandler);
```

**Be careful**: setting a default message handler can have unexpected effects on other libraries using `errTree` that you might be using and is **not recommended**. We advise you to use a base error for all your errors (like `MyAppError`). It would set a default message handler for all your errors without any risk of breaking anything else.

`setDefaultBeautifier` also accepts a specific option `onError` that sets the beautifier on all errors, even those not inheriting `errTree.BasicError`. This option modifies the node `Error` type and thus must be used with extreme caution.

```js
errTree.setDefaultBeautifier('complex', {onError: true});
console.log(new Error('message')); // pretty printed with complex
```

## Unhandled exception

`errTree` comes with a bundled exception handler that will print better uncatched exceptions:

![err-tree exception handler](https://bytebucket.org/lsystems/err-tree/raw/tip/docs/images/err-tree-exception-handler.png)

To activate it (it is not by default) use:

```js
errTree.useUncaughtExceptionHandler();
```

**Important**: this exception handler calls `process.exit(8)` like node would do for an uncatched exception and there is no way (for now) to disable this so if you want an exception handlers that keeps your software alive, you will have to write your own.

## Exposed internal APIs

`errTree` exposes most of its internal logic just in case it might be useful to write plugins or an other error handling library.

### `parseStack`

Using `errTree.parseStack` you can parse any v8 stack and get an array of objects instead.

Lines not relative to the stack itself (error message and such) are ignored.

Each object in the array may contain the following:

- `fn`: the function name in which the line is
- `as`: an alias for the function (its real name?)
- `path`: the path of the file containing the line
- `dirname`: the dirname of the file stated above
- `rootpath`: the dirname part from the cwd
- `basepath`: the cwd if file is in a subdirectory of cwd
- `basename`: the filename without the path to it
- `line`: the line number
- `column`: the column number

```js
var parsedStack = errTree.parseStack(err.stack);
```

### `fileExerpt`

This renders a file exerpt given a line of a stack (as an object like the one retuned by `errTree.parseStack`). It can also take the following options:

- `colors`: (defaults to `true`) wether or not to put colors in the exerpt
- `exerptBefore`: (defaults to `3`) the number of lines before the referenced one in the exerpt
- `exerptAfter`: (defaults to `3`) the number of lines after the referenced one in the exerpt

```js
var exerpt = errTree.fileExerpt(errTree.parseStack(err.stack)[0], {colors: false});
```

### `createAssert`

It creates an assert function throwing a new instance of a given object when its first argument is false.

```js
var assert = errTree.createAssert(Error);

assert(false, 'my message', …); // throws a new Error('my message', …
```

## Creating your own beautifiers & message handlers

In this section we will discuss how to personalize your errors even more by writing your own beautifiers & message handlers.

### Beautifiers

A beautifier is simply a function taking an error as argument and returning a string that should contain exactly (stack comprised) how the error should look like.

Here is a simple example:

```js
function myBeautifier(err) {
  return err.name + ': ' + err.message;
}

var MyError = errTree('MyError', {beautifier: myBeautifier});
```

This will produce errors with no stack looking like:

```
MyError: <error message>
```

**Note:** message handlers are executed before beautifiers so you can be confident that `err.message` contains the final message. Also you can always access the parsed stack in `err.parsedStack`.

### Message handlers

A message handler is a simple function taking an error as an argument and returning a new message to use.

Here is a simple example:

```js
function myMessageHandler(err) {
  return 'super simple handler − ' + err.message;
}

var MyError = errTree('MyError', {messageHandler: myMessageHandler});
```

This will add `super simple handler − ` as a prefix to all messages.

Recap: "The Future of Audio" Congressional Subcommittee Hearing
[This post was authored by FMC Policy Intern Joseph Silver & Policy Fellow Daniel Lieberman]
Yesterday on Capitol Hill, the House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology rounded up some music industry bigwigs including Cary Sherman (CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America); Jeff Smulyan (CEO of Ennis Communications); Steven Newberry (CEO of Commonwealth Broadcasting Corp.); Tim Westergren (Pandora founder); Christopher Gutttman-McCabe (Vice President of CTIA Wireless); Gary Shapiro (President and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association); and a single artist: Ben Allison, a New York-based jazz bassist. The panel, the title of which the recently deceased Ray Bradbury might even admire — "The Future of Audio" — featured a broad discussion that touched upon music, mobile technology, radio signals, and last, but hopefully not least, artist compensation.

Fleeting Expletives & Charlotte Ross's Ass Go Before High Court

It's been two and a half years since the U.S. Supreme Court issued its opinion, authored by conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, in the case ofFederal Communications Commission (FCC) v.
Broadcast Indecency
Fox v. FCC
indecency policy
FMC at FCC v. Fox
Yesterday's Supreme Court arguments on indecency and free speech in FCC v. Fox certainly were a doozy! Get caught up on the backstory here. Don't worry, we'll wait for ya. OK, ready?
Amidst the occasional hilarity — since, hey, they were still talking about swearing, Paris Hilton and bare asses — the Court considered two major questions:
1. Are broadcasters' free speech rights affected by the way the FCC applies its rules of indecency, and,
2. What, if anything, should be done to change how the FCC regulates broadcast television and radio in the future; or is regulation not necessary now. read more

OVERNIGHT TECH: Group asks Supreme Court to strike down FCC's indecency policy
By Brendan Sasso
THE LEDE: Media Access Project, a public-interest law firm, filed a brief on Thursday asking the Supreme Court to strike down the Federal Communications Commission's indecency policy as unconstitutionally vague.
The Supreme Court already ruled in the case, upholding the FCC's fine on Fox for airing expletives during the Billboard Music Awards in 2002 and 2003. But the court only addressed whether the FCC's fine was arbitrary, and sent the case back to a lower court to determine the policy's constitutionality. That lower court struck down the FCC's policy as violating the First Amendment, and the Supreme Court has agreed to re-hear the case. read more
FMC and Center for Creative Voices in Media (CCV) File Joint Amicus Brief in Fox v. FCC
This case is based on televised expletives aired on the 2002 and 2003 Billboard Music Awards broadcasts. Originally, the FCC determined that the utterances, whether intentional or not, were indecent after a slew of complaints were sent to the commission. During such an evaluation, the FCC queries whether the utterances "depict[ed] sexual or excretory organs or activities." Fox appealed the ruling, and the Supreme Court held that the FCC's ruling should stand because it was not "arbitrary and capricious" (in non-legalese that just means the FCC didn't act crazy). When the Supreme Court sent the ruling back down to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, those New York-based justices declared the indecency policy so vague that it unconstitutionally restrained speech. On its second trip up to the highest of high courts, we should get a final answer as to whether the FCC's indecency policy will stand.
Like FMC's previous amicus briefs from July 2008 and September 2009, this filing demonstrates the "vague and arbitrary" nature of the FCC's current indecency policy. The result of this policy has been a chilling effect on creativity on the public airwaves, due to broadcasters' fears of getting fined for airing "offensive" content. For example, Ken Burns' WWII documentary "The War" was aired in two different versions to satisfy PBS affiliates worried about possible FCC sanctions. Creators are left guessing what constitutes indecent material, which leads to self-censoring and ultimately deprives the public (and artists) of access to a variety of worthwhile content.
The FCC Won't Let Me Be: Indecency Policy Up for Review
This post was authored by FMC Policy Consultant Adam Holofcener.
As the infamous Eminem once rapped, "The FCC won't let me be." Don't worry, Em — the Federal Communications Commission isn't singling you out. In fact, the FCC's indecency policy applies to everyone who would be seen or heard on broadcast media.
The FCC's policy is intended to keep content relatively "clean" between the hours of 6 am and 10 pm. A worthy goal, but how does it work in practice? Turns out not very well. As several courts have found, the FCC's current indecency policy is unreasonably vague and can lead to a chilling of creative expression. Now, it's once again the Supreme Court's turn to weigh in. read more

Some in the IT world worry that Red Hat poses a threat to the future of Linux. One Red Hat leader takes on the critics and shares his vision for this popular operating system.
The future of Linux: Finding friends and foes
by Guest Contributor in Open source
on February 14, 2000, 12:00 AM PST
With so much compatibility among distributions, the LSB (Linux Standard Base) might not seem that necessary. Linux already apparently enjoys a level of cross-vendor compatibility the UNIX community never achieved. But, going forward, the Linux community might not be so lucky. If successful, the LSB will ensure that the various distributions retain their current high degree of compatibility and prevent any one vendor from hijacking the Linux standard.
The red threat?
Even though large companies such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Compaq, and Dell have become Linux enthusiasts, they aren't seen as posing a significant threat to retaining a single Linux kernel.
"I'm more worried about some small company that gets off to a quick start, then puts a lot of resources into development, and absconds with the direction of the OS to its advantage," says TurboLinux's Lonn Johnston, vice president of North American operations.
In the Linux community, that "small company" everyone is concerned about is Red Hat, which is generally acknowledged to have the largest market share of commercial Linux shipments in North America.
Bob Young, CEO and chairman of Red Hat, however, says his company is as committed to the LSB as any other Linux distribution company, if not more so. He says Red Hat has committed more resources, including staff members, to the LSB effort than just about any other commercial Linux distributor, a claim backed up by LSB chair Dan Quinlan.
This is the second article in a series. In the first report, the history of the LSB was outlined. This content originally appeared in the September issue of Wiesner Publishing's Software Magazine and appears on TechRepublic under a special arrangement with the publisher.
Red Hat, says Young, hasn't been as vocal in its support of the LSB because "it doesn't exist yet." When it does, Young says, Red Hat will be one of the first to submit its operating system for testing and verification, and to loudly endorse it.
Young says Red Hat is working quietly behind the scenes on the LSB, and doesn't want to give the impression that the success or failure of Linux depends on the success or failure of the LSB. "Linux will succeed without the LSB," says Young. "Will the LSB accelerate the growth of the open source software movement? Yes, but it doesn't depend on the LSB."
On that point, Caldera's Tamang disagrees. He says it's vital for the LSB to be a success, apparently if for no other reason than to convince Linux's many potential users and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) that the operating system will retain what he calls its "port-once" philosophy, a reference to the popular "write once, run anywhere" theme of Sun Microsystems' Java programming language.
"Efforts to standardize, to make sure Linux is Linux is Linux, is a very good move," says Dan Kuznetsky, director of operating systems research at IDC.
The problem for the Linux community, he adds, is that the standardization wasn't built into Linux at the beginning. "The problem is that it has to be applied retroactively," he says.
Current Linux distributions will have to be reworked to comply with the new standard, and that means work, "and people often don't want to do that," says Kuznetsky. "They'd rather concentrate their resources on something that might advance their distribution ahead of others."
Still, he says, the lessons learned from the fragmentation of UNIX have not been lost on the Linux community. "Everybody's life will be much better," says Kuznetsky. "They know that if there's a standard, and they all adhere to that standard, the overall market does much better."
If they all keep to the same road, says Kuznetsky, "they know that they can all have a slice of a bigger pie."

Trip to Hamburg
Posted on July 2, 2006 by Karl Bunyan
We went to Germany for the first week of the World Cup. There wasn't an England game on in Hamburg (it was all booked long before the draw came out) but it was a great laugh anyway.
Strange street art that was everywhere. Each statue was painted differently:
Hamburg town hall (I think):
We visited the remains of a church where only the tower had been left standing. (I presume because, ahem, we bombed the rest at some point):
The spire was still complete and you could take a lift to the top of the stone structure:
The view from the top was quite impressive:
The other tall building that was open to visitors, St Michel. The outside was more impressive than the inside, but the surrounding area was a great place for rubbish souvenirs:
Inside the lower levels of the tower of St Michel:
The view from the top of St Michel:
Another view from the top of St Michel:
Some nearby modern architecture:
Darren, in front of St Michel:
More whacky sculptures, this time some giant chairs that we couldn't resist trying out (this is Darren):
My go in a chair:
A huge statue in one of the parks around Hamburg, apparently of Bismarck:
Me standing in front of Bismarck, which gives an idea of just how big it is.
This was about as close as I dared get to the edge:
Darren, in front of Bismarck:
At the big screen on the edge of the town centre there were stalls for every country in the World Cup, plus a few others:
There were plenty of places to sit before the match started:
A few hours before Germany were set to play Costa Rica in the opening game, and the 'entertainers' on the stage were making a valiant effort at keeping the half a dozen people who were wandering around 'entertained':
By kick-off, the place was pretty full:
Germany beat Costa Rica by four goals to two, and the crowd goes wild:
A sea of Germans on their way home:
Someone so excited by the victory they crashed their car (or it could have been a coincidence):
Balloons that were generally floating above Hamburg:
A view across the lake back to the centre of town:
Another odd piece of street art, distinctly remiscent of The Muppets in my eyes:
Darren got into the spirit of things:
I hadn't realised what a big sea port Hamburg was (not surprising since before I went I didn't particularly know where in Germany it was):
This is the entrance to the Elbtunnel which runs under the main river through Hamburg. Cars used to drive up to these entrances and go one at a time into a lift:
From their they're taken down and then drive out at the bottom:
Then through the tunnel and into another lift to get out the other side. It's only open to cyclists and pedestrians now, and is nice and cool on a hot day:
There isn't much at the other end of the Elbtunnel, unfortunately, except the view back:
We went canoeing, and this is the 'up all night' crowd briefly before capsizing:
And this is them after capsizing, looking none the worse for it it has to be said:
Capsizing didn't put them off. Note the wake that the boat is leaving indicating a distinctly backwards direction of travel:
Our canoe was more civilised as we had Ray fending off crocodiles and the like:
One of those 'try and take a photo of yourself' shots. Could be worse:
Another church I came across:
One of the canalside warehouse type buildings:
This hook was hanging down about six stories, which seems very uncharacteristically careless for the Germans:
What happens when connected buildings are half-demolished:
My last beer in Hamburg (with Joe in the background):
At Hamburg airport, on the way back home:

Уильям Легг, 10-й граф Дартмут, также известный как Уильям Дартмут (; родился 23 сентября 1949 года) — британский политик и наследственный пэр, носивший титул учтивости — виконт Луишем с 1962 по 1997 год.

С 2009 по 2019 год Дартмут заседал в Европейском парламенте в качестве члена Европейского парламента от Юго-Западной Англии. Он был избран от Партии независимости Великобритании (UKIP) и служил национальным представителем по торговле с 2010 по 2018 год. Он ушел из UKIP в 2018 году из-за недовольства тем, как меняется партия.

Ранняя жизнь и образование
Родился 23 сентября 1949 года в Лондоне. Старший сын Джеральда Легга, 9-го графа Дартмута (1924—1997) и Рейн Маккоркодейл (1929—2016), дочери писательницы Барбары Картленд. Он стал сводным братом леди Дианы Спенсер, когда в 1976 году его мать вышла замуж за 8-го графа Спенсера.

Уильям Дартмут получил образование в Итоне и Крайст-Черче в Оксфорде, где был избран членом Консервативной ассоциации Оксфордского университета и Общества Оксфордского союза. Он получил степень бакалавра, затем получил степень магистра и поступил в Гарвардскую школу бизнеса, где получил степень MBA.

Карьера
Уильям Дартмут получил диплом дипломированного бухгалтера, что также было занятием его отца Джеральда Легга, 9-го графа Дартмута.

На парламентских выборах в феврале 1974 года в качестве виконта Луишема Уильям Дартмут безуспешно боролся за Ли, Ланкашир, за консерваторов, а на выборах в октябре 1974 года боролся за Стокпорт-Саут.

В 1975 году он стал членом Института дипломированных бухгалтеров. В 1997 году он унаследовал титулы пэров своего отца и как граф Дартмут сидел в качестве консервативного пэра в Палате лордов до 1999 года, когда Закон о Палате лордов первого министерства Блэра 1999 года удалил из парламента всех, кроме 92 наследственных пэров. В январе 2007 года Дартмут объявил, что покидает консерваторов в пользу Партии независимости Великобритании (UKIP), ссылаясь на опасения по поводу политики Дэвида Кэмерона, тогдашнего лидера оппозиции.

На выборах в Европейский парламент 2009 года Уильям Дартмут был избран вторым депутатом Европарламента от UKIP в регионе Юго-Западной Англии и переизбран в 2014 году, когда он был первым депутатом Европарламента от UKIP в региональном списке. В Европейском парламенте он входил в группу «Европа свободы и демократии» (позже «Европа свободы и прямой демократии») и входил в Комитет по международной торговле. В 2010 году он стал национальным представителем UKIP по торговле и промышленности, а в феврале 2016 года был назначен одним из двух национальных заместителей председателя партии. Он был автором многих публикаций UKIP, EFD и EFDD. 22 января 2018 года, после вотума недоверия Национального исполнительного комитета UKIP лидеру Генри Болтону в предыдущий день, Уильям Дартмут ушел с поста представителя торговли и промышленности, оказывая дальнейшее давление на Болтона, чтобы уйти в отставку.

В сентябре 2018 года Уильям Дартмут подал в отставку из Партии независимости Великобритании, сославшись на озабоченность по поводу поведения нового лидера Джерарда Баттена и жалуясь, что партия «широко воспринимается как гомофобная и антиисламская». Дартмут осудил Баттена за то, что он вел партию к крайне правым и осудил его одобрение и поддержку крайне правых групп и «диковинных личностей». Дартмут заявил, что не присоединится к другой политической партии и будет служить до конца своего срока в Европейском парламенте в качестве независимого, продолжая представлять Юго-запад Англии и Гибралтар.

Семья и личная жизнь
В июне 2009 года Уильям Дартмут женился на уроженке Мельбурна, бывшей модели Фионе Кэмпбелл, ныне именуемой леди Дартмут, чей первый муж, Мэтт Хэнбери, является племянником Руперта Мердока. Впоследствии они развелись.

У Дартмута есть сын Джеральд Глен Кавана-Легг (род. 19 марта 2005) от его предыдущих отношений с телевизионным продюсером Клэр Кавана .

Нынешний предполагаемый наследник графства Дартмут и других пэрских титулов — младший брат нынешнего графа, Достопочтенный Руперт Легг (род. 1951), женатый на Виктории Оттли и имеющий двух детей.

We value equality, affordability and choice in education and we believe that by aligning our values with that of the SDGs, we are making the world a better place.


"Good night!" "Sleep well!" "I'll see you in the morning!" All of these nightly simple and common wishes for our friends and loved ones can become mundane and void of any meaning if we are not careful. Why not shake things up a bit? Step out of your comfort zone and expose your heart, tell a joke, or wish them well to make things new. Once in a while a special good night wish is just what is needed.
Below we have a list of entirely unique and useful good night greetings for you to use. There are sweet ones, funny ones, rhyming ones, and even romantic ones. Peruse the list and find the one (or ones) that fit you and your recipient best. Think just one by itself is too simple? Then combine two or three! This is your chance to make a positive impact in someone's evening. Imagine them having a better night's sleep simply because they received a note from you. What a blessing!
So, whether you write this in a note, send an email, type out a text, or say it in person, your selection is sure to be a hit. Just take the time to pick the greeting you know is best. And, don't worry about saying too much or too little. Whatever you pick will be the perfect choice. Enjoy!
One more night together would be the best gift I could dream of. Nights with you are more than sweet, they are magical.
Hugs and kisses, dreams and wishes. Good night to my one true love!
I may not say it often, but there is never a night I do not dream of you and your beauty. Thoughts like these sustain me until the next time we see each other.
Good night, sleep tight, in my dreams you never leave my sight.
After a long day's work and a day full of driving, it's my only desire to come home and find you jiving. Let's fall asleep in each other's arms with the best music on the radio. Sweet dreams!
How do I say good night to you? With a good night hug or a rose? Or how about a simple kiss on the nose?
Distance can't separate our love. Tonight, when you are in bed, look at the stars and think of me. I will be looking at the same stars, sharing your love.
All night, I lay awake dreaming of you. My soul loves you so much that I cannot sleep.
By the time the last star of the night shows itself, I am fast asleep dreaming of you.
By the time the last star of the night shows itself, I am fast asleep dreaming of you. The worst part of my night is waking up.
Cease your crying. My love for you is carried over time and space, so you are never truly alone. Sleep well, my sweetheart!
God loves you. You can fall asleep knowing that peace and truth is in your heart.
Dearest one, may the calm of night sweep over you like a soft breeze and keep you warm and peaceful all the night through. Good night to you!
Did you ever notice that the morning after a night apart holds so much more energy and excitement than any other? Hoping that your sleep will be the place where our souls will soon meet, a big kiss good night.
As the night calls, my soul yearns for you. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, they say. I know that is true with you. Good night, my love. Looking forward to tomorrow.
Beneath the tears at night lies a desire to be with you and know you more. You are my blessing, my muse, and my best friend. Good night, dear one!
Cuddle up with me, sweetheart. It's time for us to have a good night!
Daylight has ended, the moon is awake. God's blessings to you, for goodness sake! Good night!
Each day, I daydream of you. Each night I dream, too. No matter the time, you are in my thoughts. Good night to the best person I know!
From the nearest blade of grass to the farthest star, here's wishing you the best night's sleep possible by far. Good night!
Good night to the one who warms my heart and brings me cheer each and every day!
Heaven smiles down as we sleep, warming our hearts and ticking our feet! Good night, sweet one!
Inner thoughts come true in our sweetest dreams. Think hard, dream deep, and be blessed! Good night!
Good night. Sleep tight. I'll see you in the morning when the sky is bright.
Good night to my dear family and friends. May the Lord bless you each day and hold you each night.
Every night is a chance to recharge and a time to relax. Take a moment before you fall asleep to be thankful for this blessing and a god who interacts.
Always here, always hopeful. Wishing you the best "good night" I possibly can!
As the night draws near, my heart grows sad. I wish you were here with me, my lad. I love you and wish you a good night!
After so many years together, how can I wish you good night in a way you haven't heard before? I can't find any more. So, listen to my heart beat and feel my love. Know you are blessed here on earth and from above.
Since you aren't here with me, here is a long distance hug, charge free. Good night and sleep well, my sweet husband.
Roses are red. Violets are blue. Here's a good night greeting from me to you!

I hope to meet you in my dreams and kiss you until my lips get sour. Have a blissful night, my love.

As you nestle your head on your pillow to get a good night's rest, may the Lord instruct His angels to play sweet songs that bring you every pleasant dream in the universe. Good night.
Babe, if I had God's powers, I would prepare clouds for your bed tonight so that your sleep may be accompanied by only the most beautiful dreams in paradise. Good night.
Every moment I spend with you is nothing short of a dream come true. Have a sweet night.
Tonight, may angels surround your bed and bright crystals illuminate your path to beautiful dreams. Good night.
There's nothing more precious to me in this world than the fact that I am spending my life with a wonderful girl/woman like you. Good night, my angel.
Good night. Sweet dreams, babe. You're my forever love.
I have something that all the money in the world can't buy because I have your love. Babe, I wish you a night that is as wonderful as you are.
You are my everything, and I will love you until the last star in space dies.
I hope that someday I can make your soul feel as good as you make mine feel. Good night, my sunshine.
You make all my dreams come true, and that is why for your happiness, I will walk to the end of the world and climb to the peak of the highest mountain on earth.
Sweetheart, I believe in you like I believe in no one else. So embrace your dreams and never let anyone discourage you from chasing after them.
Having you in my life is the greatest honor of my life. May we never drift apart. Good night.

World Cup scams: How to avoid an own goal
By ESET June 15, 2018
In Singapore, scammers have presented very believable phishing emails for banking fraud
Fraudsters impersonate FIFA, its sponsors, or event sponsors and partners to send missives
WITH 2018 Fifa World Cup in Russia underway, fraudsters are increasingly using all things soccer as bait to reel in unsuspecting fans so that they get more than they bargained for.
Have you been looking forward to the 2018 FIFA World Cup? So have scammers, kicking it up a notch and looking to cash in on the hype surrounding the quadrennial soccer extravaganza. Fraudsters will attempt to gain access to your personal data, typically credit card details or login credentials, using various methods. What are some of the scams that you may encounter?
Sting in the tail
One common method is to tout a variety of "wares" in large-scale campaigns: cheap match tickets, ticket-inclusive hospitality packages, accommodation-booking services, flights to match-hosting cities, to name just a few. These "bargains" are typically hawked via fraudulent emails or social media posts and messages that, as is their wont, play on people's emotions. Who doesn't like a good deal, after all?
Naturally, there's a kicker. Once the targets are bamboozled into believing that the spam offers something they want or need and click on the provided link, they end up on a phishing website that can convincingly imitate World Cup branding or might even be an outright duplicate of the genuine site.
In Singapore, we have already seen scammers present very believable phishing emails for banking fraud, complete with a legitimate looking email address, professionally typed email, and even official looking websites.
It's not hard to imagine the same tactics being replicated against a possibly less suspicious audience of World Cup fans. Once a recipient has dutifully input their personal information so they can pay for and receive their "tickets". Armed with credit card details thus provided, the attackers will raid the victims' bank accounts.
Fraudsters also impersonate Fifa, its sponsors, or event sponsors and partners such as Visa, Adidas or Coca-Cola, to send missives to congratulate you on your "win" in a lottery. In order for your "prize" to be released, they will ask for your personal details and/or request a payment upfront in a kind of "advance-fee scam".
Other scams may focus on travel visas or the Fan ID, the latter being an identification document required by Russian authorities to gain admittance to a match along with a valid ticket. Furthermore, using bogus offers or counterfeit websites, fraudsters may attempt to sell you bogus World Cup merchandise.
Even if you have no intention of visiting a World Cup venue, you may receive an email or social media message that contains a malicious attachment or link, supposedly to games, apps, footage of highlights, videos with hot news about players, or other tempting content. With the "help" of malware such as a banking Trojan implanted on your machine after you open the attachment or click the link, the attackers may extract your financial information.
Bogus broadcasts
In another common scenario, you may be offered to watch games for free on a malicious – or legitimate, but compromised – live-streaming website. All that you're then asked to do is download additional software or update an existing program (such as Flash Player), but you inadvertently end up compromising your computer with malware or unwanted software such as adware or a browser hijacker.
Attackers may also gain access to your personal data when you connect to a public Wi-Fi hotspot. They can set up a rogue hotspot that can sport a generic name like "Free Wi-Fi" and act like a decoy. Even the use of a legitimate public Wi-Fi network isn't safe unless the connection is secured. Attacks at insecure hotspots are typically "man-in-the-middle" attacks, where an attacker is able to intercept your data on its travels.
Showing the red card to scammers
Fifa has warned that match tickets are only available on its site, while official ticket-inclusive hospitality packages are only available through an appointed company and its sales agents. A number of ticket listings and sites claiming to sell tickets have been removed, but we're unlikely to have seen the last of them. The same goes for fake offers on legitimate (e.g. auction or social media) sites. By purchasing tickets from anywhere other than the official source, you're very unlikely to gain admission to the stadium.
Basic online defenses apply here, too. This includes being astute in recognising phishing messages, which rely on techniques that have been around for several decades and yet remain some of the most effective methods for fraud used by cybercriminals.
Be wary of too-good-to-be-true and out-of-the-blue offerings and communications that ask for your sensitive information – a request at the heart of any phishing attempt. Legitimate organizations such as banks should never ask for your details by email. Similarly straightforward guidance extends to lottery scams: lottery companies do not ask for payments upfront in order for you to collect a prize.
Don't assume that a website is legit, just because it has that comforting green padlock (i.e. HTTP Secure/HTTPS sign) to the left of the URL. A secure connection and a secure site are two different things. Scammers, too, are increasingly embracing HTTPS.
Similarly, the mere fact that a site appears in a Google search doesn't mean that the site is genuine. Malefactors can boost their sites' search rankings via search engine optimization (SEO) strategies or paid ads. Use only tried-and-true channels to receive the latest updates on your favourite teams and players.
Likewise, don't assume that a public Wi-Fi network is legit. Even if they're not set up by cybercriminals, many public wireless access points (WAPs) can leave you vulnerable to dangers simply because they're unsecured.
Attackers can easily use an unencrypted Wi-Fi connection to eavesdrop on the traffic and pick up sensitive information that you type, as well as inject malware into the traffic. Avoid using online banking or personal shopping on insecure connections and/or use a reputable virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt traffic between your device and the internet.
The importance of staying on top of social engineering tactics used by scammers cannot be overstated, says head of ESET Awareness & Research for Latin America Camilo Gutiérrez. "The more educated we are as users, the harder it will be for the attackers to spread their deceptions and make them effective," he said.
To be sure, the above is just a sample of the ways in which fraudsters are trying to get soccer fans to part with their personal information, money, or both. The high season for World Cup-themed fraud is just getting going as we get closer to the actual event. You need to stay on top of your game, so that you can enjoy the coming soccer spectacle without getting caught in an "offside-trap".

December 5, 2018 School News.
A Tale of Two Jacks, ten other Heroes, great heart, determination and will to win see St. Joes make it to the Final over a Gallant Belmullet side.
This game was not for the faint -hearted, it was a full blooded, pulsating affair from start to finish. Credit must go to both sets of players for playing such an incredible match that seemed to last forever and yet all the scoring was done in the first half!
There have been many great battles over the years between the two schools and this one lived up to any of the past fixtures. It was great to be greeted by Mr. Reilly and Mr Turner on arrival, two gentlemen who have given so much to soccer in the Erris school for what seems like an eternity. Their current crop is not bad either!
Belmullet started the livelier and had two early corners that came to nothing. Ruairi Cullen and Jack Mahon combined to force a corner for the East Mayo school which was also neatly dealt with. Our Lady's took the lead after 9 minutes with a bizarre effort, a corner swung right across the face of the goal and nestled high in the top corner much to the astonishment of all players, and indeed all present, and this happened on a day that did not have a puff of wind. Credit to the corner taker for executing such a bit of magic!
The lead did not last for long, however, as an incredible move from back to front saw St. Joes level. Central defender Jack Brennan started it and within seconds, like a hot knife through butter a combination of Cullen, Mahon and Ben Conway had ripped the seasiders wide open for Brennan to place the ball in the net. This equaliser gave Joes great belief and rattled Belmullet. Mahon then forced a great save from the 'keeper but the corner was missed by the referee. A few minutes later Mahon was at it again, this time latching onto a Tomás Goldrick pass and putting it beyond the goalkeeper, but he was adjudged to have forced the ball from the goalie's clutches and the "goal" was subtracted. Luke O' Donohue set Mahon up for another, but the Captain blazed over. With 30 minutes on the clock Mahon was just a total nuisance to the opposition and they could not deal with him.O'Donohue did a nice move out at the corner flag and fed Mahon who was taken down mercilessly and the referee gave a free which caused panic in the home defence and the calmest man on the field, Jack Brennan got a little flick to the ball and it ended up in the net. The quiet assassin had struck again! Charlestown were good value for their 2-1 lead and the Belmullet boys wanted half time to arrive quickly They did have a half chance before the break which Eoin Goldrick cleared well. Another good move involving Mahon and O'Donohue saw Cullen fire over on the whistle.
For a true reflection of the second half get out the DVDs or look up YouTube of Ireland V Holland in a World Cup Play Off in Dublin many years ago, yes, you know the one! Do you remember when Holland camped in the Irish half and tried their best to score and Ireland fought a great rear-guard action to keep them out. This is what happened in Belmullet on Wednesday afternoon! Belmullet were Holland and Charlestown were Ireland.
Sean Dunleavy made a nice save after a few minutes and Ciarán Honeyman had a sortie forward, calm enough for now like the weather on this particular day but the hurricane was brewing. Belmullet shown what fine footballers they were with their second half onslaught but no matter what they tried they just could not breach fortress Charlestown. Their every move perished on one rock or other, David Doherty had his finest hour in a school shirt, Honeyman was just a tank, Eoin Goldrick terrific. Brennan was calm and so very effective. Cullen had another fine game, he now believes that he can do what other know he can do for ages and Mahon had now receded a fair bit to assist in keeping out this tsunami. Dillon Curry put his shoulder to the wheel and dug deep, he had to and did very well, keeping calm in the process. O'Donohue provided the outlet up front and Ben Conway's' energy carried some of the pressure forward away from his defence. Young Tomás Goldrick proved that if you are good enough you are old enough with his reading of play. Strange as it was Dunleavy had only one save of note to make in this time, showing how strong the defensive wall in front of him was. Martin McCormack was unleashed for the final quarter and his pace asked a few questions of the opposition. One beautiful cross for Conway should have been converted and Mahon brought a world class save from the Belmullet 'keeper in the dying minutes. One last throw of the dice saw a 30-yard pile-driver go the wrong side of the St. Joes post much to the relief of the the East Mayo lads. They had proved that they are a team with this performance. The final whistle, when it came, brought relief for St. Joes but they shown today what they are capable of. Belmullet, fair play to them, never gave up the fight and I would expect to do battle with them again soon. Thanks to the Referee Mr. Doherty for keeping the game flowing.


I think there is no work which Ukrainian woman would not be able to handle but among all domestic responsibilities I enjoy cooking the most.
We like having a nice dinner with my mom and talking about everything that was going on during the day.
In the evening I like to devote some time to my family or friends.
As most of the time I live with my mom only, we have got used to share our domestic abilities. We like cleaning, cooking, keeping the house in order - everything together. It's funny that there is enough space for the both housewives :) I have designed my room myself. I like keeping it clean and tidy. I think, it's very important for any lady to take care of her home and it doesn't matter where she works and how busy she is. I believe the house must be a place where you have a relax after the hard working day and always want to come back.

As most of the time I live with my mom only, we have got used to share our domestic abilities.
In spite of my age I have already decided what I want from the life. First of all I'd like to be as good wife and parent as my mom is. I want a simple human happiness - taking care of the husband and kids, spending calm family evenings, travelling together... Since childhood I can't stand seeing how the other people suffer! So my main purpose is to save their lives! I am going to become a good doctor and help people to reduce their pain and recover! Besides, I'd like to try myself as a model, to take part in different fashion shows or to become a face of the fashion magazine.

The lady is very pleasant in her conversation, it's so easy to establish the contact with her. She studies medicine but also tries herself in different kinds of activities. She is active, smart and good-looking.
I want to play an important role in the life of my future husband. I would like to feel weak and tender with my beloved man, to share all my feelings and dreams with him! I have got used to get a lot of attention, but in my turn, I'm will give all my care and love to a person I trust! Appearance is an important thing but to my mind, it's nothing if the person is unreliable and selfish. I sincerely believe that true love overcomes everything, so I I don't really care about the work, income or a housing of my beloved person! If we are together, we will get everything together!
I adore participating in different photo sessions, fashion shows and try myself as an actress.
Every new day is a chance to get something interesting or to change something. So I try to never waste my time! Attending my classes and preparing my homework takes the most part of my day. So sometimes, it's difficult to find some time for meeting with friends and for the favorite hobby. I do sports every day, sometimes in the morning and sometimes after the classes. In the evening I like to devote some time to my family or friends. We like having a nice dinner with my mom and talking about everything that was going on during the day.
I would like to feel weak and tender with my beloved man, to share all my feelings and dreams with him!
I want to play an important role in the life of my future husband.
In order to be a good doctor, I study very hard. I like reading a lot of medical literature, watching documentary movies and youtube videos about medical treatment, the unique diseases, and even the surgery process. I belong to the kind of people who prefer a healthy life style. Working out is an important part of my life, as that helps me to feel strong, active and beautiful :) When I have some free time, I like meeting with my friends, walking through the calm night town, visiting different cafés and enjoying a nice conversation.
