Entertaining retrospective on the libertarian-fantasy-clusterfuck that was SeaLand and HavenCo
Death of a data haven: cypherpunks, WikiLeaks, and the world's smallest nation
My findings have just been published in a new 80-page article in the University of Illinois Law Review, one called "Sealand, HavenCo, and the Rule of Law". It tells the full -- and very weird -- story of how this micronation happened to be in the right place (the North Sea) at the right time (the late 1990s) to provide some cypherpunk entrepreneurs with the most impractical data center ever built. Here, I'll give the condensed version of the tale, hitting the important points in HavenCo's history and explaining what went wrong.
I don't think I'd seen a photo of the Sealand Data Center before. You know, the one that was going to be behind an airlock, in a booby-trapped, nitrogen-filled vault that you could only enter with scuba gear.

Apropos is China Mieville's criticism of the whole "seasteading" movement:
CTD says:
Mieville's mocking of libertarianism reminds me of the character in Kavalier and Clay who recounts the horrible Zionist tendencies of the Escapist in loving detail.
Doctor Memory says:
Oh man, that was a nice bellyful of schadenfreude. You often wish that many unpleasant people would fuck off to an island in the middle of nowhere and quickly turn on each other, but it's rare that they actually are obliging enough to try it for you. Of course it didn't work out, but I give them points for effort.
The only thing that would have made that article better would have been a nice little list of all of the hacks who wrote puff pieces on this obvious disaster for Wired and the like.
DFB says:
I would settle if they just went sailing more often and complained that taxation is slavery (but no, they don't have any other ideas on how to fund defense against plagues and crime) a little less.
Tyler Wagner says:
I can assure you that Ryan Lackey is indeed unpleasant. He nearly came to a few bad ends in Iraq as well.
Lun Esex says:
The "readers of jwz.org" and "people who know Ryan Lackey" circles have a not insignificant amount of overlap.
Articles written about Ryan's adventures in Iraq are linked to from his Wikipedia page. They are equally entertaining, if not more so.
I know. That's how I ended up hiring him in Iraq.
LafinJack says:
I see the insurgents have failed.
Jon Evans says:
Re para 2: thanks, you're too kind. (I wrote 'em.)
I actually first got to them from something else you wrote/posted, maybe via your Twitter feed, but links on a Wikipedia page are more "stable" reference points.
You often wish that many unpleasant people would fuck off to an island in the middle of nowhere and ...
My greatest hope for the world?
The Rapture.
Please, just go, every believer of any fairy tale anywhere on the planet, and leave us behind. Just go. We'll manage.
I have plenty more hilarious photos of the place.
Also, the connectivity was a single long range wifi link to somewhere on the shore near Harwich. Every time a sufficiently big container ship went by, it would block the signal and the link would go down. Good times!
pavel_lishin says:
Can you share the photos?
DC Dan says:
So this is where MegaUpload's data center was housed?
jwz says:
There are many hilarious criticisms to lay on MegaUpload, but "failure to push bits over the network" isn't really one of them.
No, this is where some people supposedly associated with WikiLeaks are talking about moving their servers.
I put about as much stock in that as aerial Pirate Bay APs and quadrotor taco delivery, but people are "talking" about it. And it's not even April 1.
Elusis says:
Dude, you mock the taco-copters, but Abu Dhabi already has a pizza button.
Unlike HavenCo, Megaupload was highly profitable and used and enjoyed by probably tens of millions.
If only the media companies had gotten together and created Megaupload themselves, they'd have set themselves up for raking in money in the digital era and we'd be hearing a lot fewer complaints about "lost profits."
Their ladder is pretty awesome though.


I purchased a small bottle for 99 cents so I could try it out.
YEP! IT'S PURPLE! ha ha So it delivered on that front. It was very "wet". I noticed after the fact that it is "Washable". I'm almost never a fan of "Washable" products. This seems more watery than regular washable glue. I'm not sure if how they make it purple causes that or not. I also noticed that the "feel" of it is different as well. It isn't "tacky" feeling?!?!?! I got some on my figures when I connected the paper together...can't really describe it how it feels other than different.
It delivered on drying clear as well! I do feel it warps the paper a little more than regular ELMER'S GLUE ALL. I don't use Elmer's Washable on a regular basis(because of it warping paper & not being a strong as Glue All)...so I can't compare. I do think it might be a good investment for Kindergarten so they can learn better glue control....though I'll probably stick with good ol' regular Elmer's Glue All.

CHICK OF BLACK-BACKED GULL
by BESG | posted in: Feeding chicks | 0
"On the afternoon of 8th January 2013, a solitary adult Black-backed Gull (Larus dominicanus, Maori name: Karoro) was perched atop an isolated rocky outcrop along the coast of Kaikoura, South Island, New Zealand. It had adopted a resting posture – standing on one foot, with beak tucked under its wing. Upon closer inspection, I realised that there was also a grey, fluffy chick carefully exploring its surroundings (above).
"Moments later, its other parent glided back home and almost immediately regurgitated a gizzard-full of slimy food items, which were swiftly snapped up by the hungry chick (above). Soon after, one of the parents took flight in search of more food for their single offspring."

Corrupt ASes: Outages at Comcast, RCN, Verizon and More Caused by Misconfiguration at Level 3 Internet Backbone Company
Tue Nov 7, 2017 06:21 am Cardinal News Broadband News, Tech Alerts Comments Off on Corrupt ASes: Outages at Comcast, RCN, Verizon and More Caused by Misconfiguration at Level 3 Internet Backbone Company
An Internet outage Monday November 6, 2017 was caused, according to several media sources, by a misconfiguration of manually typed characters at Level 3, an internet backbone company headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado. The misconfiguration caused ASes (Autonomous Systems) to forward incorrect Internet Protocol (IP) Level 3 is an enterprise level ISP that serves other big networks. Internet network analysts reported Monday that the misconfiguration caused a routing issue known as a "route leak" that created a cascade of problems for companies such as Comcast, Spectrum, Verizon, Cox, and RCN nationwide.
Level 3 said in a statement that it resolved the issue in about 90 minutes.
"Our network experienced a service disruption affecting some customers with IP-based services. The disruption was caused by a configuration error."
Comcast users started reporting internet outages about the time as the Level 3 outages. Comcast said that it was monitoring "an external network issue" and not a problem with its own infrastructure. End user account status pages showed outages to Internet, TV, and Phone services.
RCN, which serves residents and businesses in the City of Chicago, confirmed that its network problems on Monday were caused by Level 3. RCN said it had restored RCN service by rerouting traffic to a different backbone.
Large outages caused by accidental route leaks have occurred before. Route leaks can be malicious or accidental. Malicious "route leaks" also known as "route hijacks" or "BGP hijacks" are caused by illegitimate takeover of groups of IP addresses by corrupting Internet routing tables maintained by the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
ISPs use "Autonomous Systems," also known as ASes, to keep track of IP addresses and route packets on interacting networks. ISPs use the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to establish and communicate routes. Packets can route between several networks so that the end user can reach all available IP addresses.
In a "route leak," an AS, or multiple ASes, end(s) up forwarding incorrect information about the IP addresses on their network, which causes delayed or blocked routing and failures for both the originating ISP and other ISPs trying to route traffic through various networks.
The Level 3 outage occurred just days after CenturyLink officially confirmed it had completed the acquisition of Level 3 on October 31, 2017 with a $34bn stock and cash merger deal. The misconfiguration problem could have occurred as CenturyLink was working to integrate the Level 3 network, or could have coincidentally occurred during routine traffic engineering and efficiency work.
CenturyLink, headquartered in Monroe, Louisiana, is the third largest telecommunications company in the United States, rated by lines served, after AT&T and Verizon. CenturyLink was originally Century Telephone (CenturyTel). Sprint purchased Centel in 1993, which was headquartered in Chicagoland until 1993, and Centel Cellular Company became Sprint Cellular Company. The cellular operations of Centel were spun off in 1996, and became 360 Communications Company. Alltel acquired 360 Communications Company in 1998 (Verizon Wireless acquired Alltel in 2008). Also in 1998, Centel acquired some Wisconsin Bell lines from Ameritech. In 2006, Sprint spun off Centel local telephone subsidiaries. Next Centel became CenturyLink in 2009 when it acquired Embarq, which was the name of the former local operations of Sprint Nextel (including the former Centel operations. Centel at one time served Las Vegas (NV), Des Plaines, Park Ridge (IL), Tallahassee (FL), and Charlottesville (VA).
CenturyLink purchased Qwest for US$10.6 billion in April 2011. In August 2011, the Qwest branding was retired and replaced as CenturyLink. Qwest was a Denver-based fiber optics long-distance company, that had taken over Regional Bell Operating Company (baby bell) US West in 2000.
CenturyLink maintains three large Chicagoland data center facilities (one at Busse Road and Devon Avenue in Elk Grove Village) that provide hosting and cloud assets. However, in May 2017, Medina Capital, a Miami-based private equity firm led by Manny Medina, and global private equity firm BC Partners formed a new venture in a $2.8 billion transaction combining a worldwide network of data centers (some sold by CenturyLink) with other cybersecurity and data analytics companies. The consortium of companies is known as Cyxtera Technologies, which runs over 60 data enters. CenturyLink also retains a minority stake in Cyxtera Technologies.
Monday's outages put a light on the fragmented companies and service involved in the reliability vs vulnerability of Internet connectivity and vital services available via the Internet.

Newsbreak: More insight into internal control lapses in BPMB's Borcos acquisition
The Edge Malaysia
August 19, 2019 16:00 pm +08
This article first appeared in The Edge Malaysia Weekly, on August 12, 2019 - August 18, 2019.
Report reveals internal control and corporate governance issues at BPMB and GMV. Photo by The Edge
ALTHOUGH much has been written about the corporate governance issues at Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Bhd (BPMB) by The Edge, it is not clear whether any action has been taken to address them.
One of the issues raised in the past is the investment of BPMB and its wholly-owned subsidiary Global Maritime Ventures Bhd (GMV) in Syarikat Borcos Shipping Sdn Bhd.
It is understood that in 2015, BPMB commissioned a review of the internal controls and corporate governance of the group and GMV as well as a forensic investigation into the latter's investment in Borcos.
BPMB engaged Deloitte Enterprise Risk Services Sdn Bhd to conduct the review.
A report based on the review, sighted by The Edge, revealed several serious internal control and corporate governance issues at both BPMB and GMV. The lax corporate governance processes allowed the acquisition of Borcos between 2011 and 2013, which later proved to be a financial liability for GMV.
In 2015, GMV had to recognise an impairment of RM195.86 million on the vessels of Borcos, which was liquidated at the end of 2016. This was on top of the more than RM380 million paid by GMV to acquire the whole of Borcos.
GMV's 2015 annual report was the last to be released on its website for public reference.
Questions sent to Bank Negara Malaysia as to whether any action had been taken on GMV's investment in Borcos went unanswered as at press time. A BPMB spokesman says, "Being a regulated entity BPMB is not in a position to provide responses as requested."
According to Deloitte's report, investment decisions at BPMB were made without prior knowledge of its board, and breached the company's group authority for credit approvals (GACA).
BPMB authorises its group of companies to make investment decisions involving amounts not exceeding 35% of their respective paid-up capital. In GMV's case, the amount should not be more than RM105 million.
GMV acquired a 35% stake in Borcos for RM146.55 million from AWH Equity Holdings Sdn Bhd on April 19, 2011. AWH is an investment holding company owned by Datuk Wan Ariff Wan Hamzah and his family members.
On Jan 15, 2013, GMV acquired the remaining 65% of Borcos for RM190.45 million from AWH. Then on Jan 29, 2013, it acquired a 15.77% stake for RM50 million from Restu Kuala Sdn Bhd via the redemption of preference shares held by Lembaga Tabung Haji.
Restu Kuala is owned by Wan Ariff's daughter Wan Hamimie and her husband Sidqi Ahmad Said Ahmad.
In other words, GMV spent a total of RM387 million on acquiring 100% of Borcos.
According to Deloitte, it was informed that all of the proposed investments were presented to GMV's board by Datuk Zafer Hashim, who was BPMB's managing director until he resigned on July 25, 2014. However, the truth of the information could not be ascertained by Deloitte as the relevant supporting documents to substantiate it were unobtainable.
The audit firm also noted that the acquisition of the 65% stake from AWH and 15.77% stake from Restu Kuala was not reviewed by BPMB's credit committee as required by its GACA. GMV's board also approved the investment before BPMB's risk management department could review the proposal.
The risk of the 65%-stake investment was, however, assessed by GMV's assistant manager and senior manager of corporate investment before the proposal was submitted to the board for approval. GMV's board approved the proposal on Nov 27, 2012.
"The investment proposal was subsequently submitted to the group's risk management department for assessment on Dec 5, 2012. The department provided an investment risk analysis report to the GMV board on Dec 27, 2012, highlighting the key risks of the investment.
"However, the risk analysis report was never brought up for discussion with the GMV board, which resulted in a decision made without considering the investment risk factors," the audit firm noted in its report.
The key risks highlighted by BPMB's risk management department included the potential of GMV being exposed to concentration risk as the total investment exposure was RM336.99 million while Borcos' negative debt service coverage ratio could potentially expose GMV to return-on-investment risk.
In FY2011, Borcos' debt service coverage ratio was -0.267 times, indicating that the company had enough net operating income to cover only 26.7% of annual debt payments.
The report also highlighted that the investments were made without adequate information.
Deloitte stated that BPMB's chief risk officer (CRO) had, on March 29, 2011, highlighted the difficult market situation for the shipping sector when considering GMV's acquisition of the 35% stake in Borcos.
In order to gauge the projected revenue and profitability of Borcos, the CRO suggested that a detailed cash flow projection of the shipping company needed to be prepared, backed by realistic projections. However, no such projections were prepared.
PwC was also appointed to conduct a financial and taxation due diligence as well as determine Borcos' fair market valuation. A draft due diligence report was provided to GMV on March 9, 2011, detailing Borcos' projected financial information and cash flow.
However, Deloitte stated in its report that different projected financial information was presented in the investment proposal without the relevant assumptions and projected cash flow justifying the figures presented.
"The total market valuation of Borcos decided by the former MD of BPMB (Zafer), which amounted to RM418.7 million based on price-to-earnings (PE) of 7.9 times, was higher than the valuation amount suggested by PwC, ranging between RM230.7 million and RM258.4 million.
"We further noted that PwC highlighted to the former CEO of GMV (Norulhadi Md Shariff) on March 16, 2011, that the possibility of Borcos achieving a profit after tax of RM53 million for FY2011 was challenging," Deloitte said in the report.
The matter was escalated by Norulhadi to Zafer on March 21, 2011. However, based on email correspondence between the two, Deloitte stated that Zafer reiterated that the total market valuation of Borcos should be RM418.7 million.
The reason for such valuation was based on a profit guarantee of RM53 million provided by AWH for FY2011.
"The report by Deloitte provides clear insights into the workings of BPMB and its group of companies. Have these revelations been investigated by the relevant authorities?" asks a market observer.
"The pre-acquisition process of Borcos is severely lacking in terms of internal control and corporate governance. Will any action be taken on this? I don't know," remarks a fund manager.

Crude oil has taken off from the key weekly moving averages. It has formed an inside bar on the weekly chart at that level and broken out on the upside. It has crossed the key hurdle of $103, which is now acting as a key support. Since the last couple of weeks crude has been trading with a sideways to bearish bias. It has formed a running triangle and is ready to break out on the upside. The oil is now set to test the high of $114.83 and the equality target beyond that is $127.

Seminarians for the priesthood from across the diocese gathered in Belfield June 12-14 for fun and fellowship. The gathering, informally titled "Seminarian Getaway: Unload and Unwind," was sponsored by the Belfield Knights of Columbus Council 6310.
Knights of Columbus Council 6310 members Steven Vetter, newly elected grand knight, and Roger Decker spearheaded the three-day event that included active participation from over 30 member knights. The Catholic Daughters also assisted.
Nearly all of the 29 men who are studying for the Catholic priesthood for the diocese participated in the event. Two men going through the discernment process also participated, along with a number of priests from across the diocese.
The Belfield Knights of Columbus council has been active in encouraging women and men to answer the call to a religious vocation. For nearly 30 years, the council has sponsored a Lenten fish fry and other fundraising events, with much of the money raised going to fund vocation education.
Decker and Vetter hatched the idea to "do something special for the seminarians" after Vetter's brother, Nick, who is a seminarian, paid a visit to the community.
"This was done for the seminarians," Decker said to the seminarians at the parish and community supper. "It is you who are the future of the church and we need you."
The event included prayer, visiting and interaction with local farmers and ranchers, who are experiencing problems on their land from prairie dogs. One of the activities included a day of thinning the prairie dog population while getting to know the laity, who are members of the St. Bernard Parish.
Father Josh Waltz, diocese director of vocations, spoke to the importance of the seminarians seeing the laity as members of the church to be served, especially in a small community like Belfield, noting the diocese is made up of a lot of small towns.
"It was great to be out in a small town because lot of times small towns don't get to see all the seminarians," Waltz said. He noted a majority of the seminarians attended the event where they received "a lot of amazing generosity" from the laity and lot of good benefactors.
Waltz said the attraction of small towns, which is "something very unique to North Dakota," is also an attraction for seminarians. "We have a lot of young men that are signing up because of the fraternity and the love the parishes, the support of the laity."
He said the support of pastors for events like this is great. Including Fr. Josh, other priests participating were Fathers Justin Waltz, Chris Kadrmas, Adam Maus, Shannon Lucht and Bill Ruelle.
The interaction with local agricultural producers was also an important part of the activities. Waltz was especially impressed with the emotion displayed by the landowners who needed help with the prairie dog harvest.
He told those assembled at the supper, "Last night (Sunday night) from what I could tell, as much as a farmer can get choked up, the guys (council members) got choked up . . ."
Decker said the commitment of the Knights of Columbus Council 6310 to vocation development is very strong. "A religious vocation is such a special calling and our council felt a need to go beyond the fundraising of the Lenten fish fry. These young men are studying to be priests, the future shepherds of our Church. The 'Seminarian Getaway: Unload and Unwind' event was one we as knights could show our support for our seminarians."
He reiterated Waltz's theme of parishioners getting to know the seminarians. "This also gives us a chance to interact with each other, learn about the needs of the seminarians and lend support. We wanted to show the seminarians there is much support for their commitment and there are many women and men in the diocese who support them," Decker said.
Grand Knight Vetter added, "The main purpose was to bring all of the seminarians together as a group where they could mingle with no outside pressure or demands. It was also important to make this be an enjoyable and relaxing venue where fellowship amongst each other can be achieved."
Over two-dozen people and/or businesses joined in supporting the event financially. "Our sponsors generously donated because they realize the important role that priests play in keeping our church strong and able to serve the members of our parish and community," Decker said. "The relationship of the future priests is so important in the formation process, because they will be the shepherds of our Church."
Waltz said the experience was very good and thanked the Belfield Knights of Columbus Council 6310 for their efforts. "We have seminarians who are going to be amazing priests but none of that is possible without the support of the laity," he said, mentioning the welcome by the St. Bernard's Parish community was great. "I didn't know what to expect (when asked to participate). I did not expect the food, the generosity . . . If you guys are up to it, I would like to make this an annual thing."
Decker said the getaway would not have to be a prairie dog hunt but, could be something "unique to the Belfield community that very few other places in the state can offer."

In February 2020, the Indonesian ruangrupa art curators responsible for the 15th edition of the renowned art exhibition documenta, visit the CAV through the Etxepare Institute and as part of the ZABAL program in collaboration with the Arteingenium office. They visited 15 artist and collective studios. Subsequently, consonni is chosen to participate in documenta fifteen that opens in June 2022 in Kassel (Germany). documenta fifteen focuses on the idea of collective work, and they do so on the concept of lumbung. lumbung is the name of a system of collective collection and storage of rice, frequently used in Indonesian communities, to dispose of rice as a shared resource in the future. In this way, the edition addresses the current wounds that have their roots especially in colonialism, capitalism or patriarchal structures, and confronts them with models of collaboration that allow people to have a different vision of the world. consonni participates with his habitual form and way of working, bringing an intersection between art and literature to documenta. consonni's participation is diverse and multiple.
CATALOGS / GUIDES documenta
As artistic editor of the international exhibition guides. consonni works with the documenta curatorial team to formulate the concept that structures the two documenta fifteen catalogues. On the one hand, a general guide Handbook to understand the concept of the exhibition, illuminating central aspects and presenting the artists and groups participating in the exhibition. On the other hand, Walking, Finding, Sharing an illustrated book aimed at families and groups to dream collectively. We have the complicity of illustration, writing and imagination professionals: the Rotopol publishing house in Kassel (Julia Kluge, Nadine Redlich, Malwine Stauss, Carmen José and Rita Fürstenau); from Portugal, Isabel Minhós Martins and Bernardo P. Carvalho; from Argentina, Jules Inés Mamone (Femimutancia); from Mexico, Verónica Gerber Bicceci, and Innosanto Nagara from Indonesia. Learn more about documenta fifteen publications on their website.
LUMBUNG STORIES / RELATOS LUMBUNG
We also participate with an ambitious project that we have presented in the form of a literary book.
This project reconsiders the ways of publishing books in the world of art and not only affects the content, but also intervenes in the forms of editorial production and distribution.
Lumbung Stories is a book of fictional stories and essays about collective work, about the ways and possibilities of collaborating. There are various ancestral terms to describe this community practice: tequio in Mexico, auzolan in the Basque Country, lumbung in Indonesia, ubuntu in different African countries, minga in South American countries, mutirão in Brazil, allmande in Germany... We have located these terms and implicated publishers and writers from those places so that they reflect on the collective and how it is understood in each culture. The same book with multiple authorships and multiple editions according to each country.
Writers like harriet c. brown who prefaces the book, Yásnaya Elena Aguilar from Mexico, Azhari Aiyub from Indonesia, Nesrine Khoury from Syria, Uxue Alberdi from Euskal Herria, Panashe Chigumadzi from South Africa, Cristina Judar from Brazil, Mithu Sanyal from Germany... imagine about the possibilities of collaborative practice. It is published simultaneously by 8 independent publishers from different territories who share their resources and experiences. Dublinense from Brazil in Portuguese, Marjin Kiri from Indonesia in Indonesian, Txalaparta in Basque in Euskal Herria, consonni and Almadia in Spanish, the first in Spain and the second in Mexico, Hatje Cantz from Germany in German, Al Mutawassit in Arab countries in Arabic, Cassava Republic Press in Nigeria in English… combining hegemonic and minority languages.
LUMBUNG OF PUBLISHERS
We are also part of the lumbung of publishers meeting. Within the cultural sphere, independent publishers and editorial collectives depend on solidarity and the collaboration of resources to survive. During documenta fifteen, lumbung of publishers offers independent publishers the chance to meet each other and share knowledge. The goal is to create a network that exists beyond the 100 days of documenta. Two representatives from each publisher will travel to Kassel to participate in a two-day workshop. During the first Meydan* (from July 8 to 10) the participating publishers will develop a public program with presentations, workshops and readings. lumbung of publishers offers visitors to documenta fifteen the opportunity to learn about publishers, their programs and their ways of working. The participating editors will show their publications and productions. From consonni we will make a public presentation on the editorial and our work processes during that weekend; and we have coordinated a performative reading of the book Relatos lumbung / Lumbung Stories by the choreographer and dancer Idoia Zabaleta.
The publishers and collective lumbung publishers are the following: Abdul Halik Azeez, Alice Yard, Bananafish Books, BOLOHO, consonni, Cooperativa Cráter Invertido, David Kaiza, Erick Beltrán, HAMBRE, Jalada, Kayfa-ta, kuš!, Kutikuti, La Impresora, Marjin Kiri, microutopias press, N'fana Diakite, Nieves, Relámpago, Rotopol Press, Strapazin and Stripburger. Lumbung of publishers is supported by The Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
For further information about the program of lumbung of publishers, visit the documenta fifteen website.
*Meydan means "market" or "public space" in Turkish and Arabic and refers to the public program that accompanies documenta fifteen, which seeks to engage in exchanges with the public.
LUMBUNG RADIO
lumbung radio is a community online radio project at documenta fifteen. It started in April 2022, before the opening of documenta, and will be broadcasting 24/7 during the 100 days of documenta fifteen. From consonni we propose for lumbung radio a series of podcasts to learn more about the authors who participate in the publication Relatos lumbung / Lumbung Stories. The writer María Bastarós together with harriet c. brown, who prefaces and edits the book, introduces us to lumbung cosmologies through interviews and readings from the book Relatos lumbung / Lumbung Stories. In each episode we will learn more about each of the authors that are part of the book and we will be able to listen to the first 300 words of each of the stories, read by each author* in their original language. The podcast was coordinated by consonni and produced as part of documenta fifteen for lumbung radio. It is conducted by María Bastarós, edited by Alberto de la Hoz and music from Enternet: Untilted, Aloes: Water intro, Cois agver: LR-RL, Enternet: Geo and Enternet: Beyond. This podcast has the support of Etxepare Euskal Institutua and Acción Cultural Española.

Q: OpenIdButton fails to obtain email address after upgrading DotNetOpenAuth I have been working on the DotNetOpenAuth to use Google application for authentication and asking to return Email Address.
I have a working program when I used the previous version of DotNetOpenAuth.dll. But when I update the Dll with the current version, then my code is broken. The application is able to authenticate but does not respond back with an email address.
My code is :
<rp:OpenIdButton runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/google.jpg" Text="Login with Google" ID="OpenIdButton1"
            Identifier="https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id" LogOnMode="None" OnLoggingIn="test" OnLoggedIn="OpenIdLogin1_LoggedIn">
            <Extensions>
                <sreg:ClaimsRequest Email="Require" />
            </Extensions>

protected void OpenIdLogin1_LoggedIn(object sender, OpenIdEventArgs e)
    {
        // Hide login button.
        OpenIdButton1.Visible = false;

        // Get email.
        //ClaimsResponse profile = e.Response.GetExtension<ClaimsResponse>();
        ClaimsResponse profile = e.Response.GetUntrustedExtension<ClaimsResponse>();
        string email = profile.Email;

And the code breaks at the above line.

Did something change with the new Dll?

A: Your code relies on the use of the AXFetchAsSregTransform behavior.  Please review the link and ensure that your web.config file is updated in the <configSections> area to fit the new xml required by the latest DotNetOpenAuth.  Your web.config likely already has the AXFetchAsSregTransform declared, but it is ignored till you update your configSections.
BTW, you should not generally use GetUntrustedExtension.

It's Time to Use It or Lose It!
The New Year fast approaching and most private health insurance dental benefits expire on the 31st December.
Unfortunately, most health funds do not allow rollover of benefits – they take a USE IT OR LOSE IT APPROACH.
It is essential that if you have any required treatment that they are booked in and completed before the end of the calendar year so you can maximise the use of your private health insurance benefits.
If you haven't had a check-up in the last 6 months or you just want a quick polish, it may be an idea to book an appointment now so we can schedule any required treatment before your benefits expire. As this is a heavily booked time of the year we recommend that you schedule an appointment for as soon as possible as many of our patients take the opportunity to get their dental treatment completed just before their limits for the year run out.

FCS 2019 PREVIEW: Dayton Football's Passing Attack Should Lead To More Wins
by HERO Sports
HERO Sports welcomes you to "Three-a-Days", where we will preview every single one of the 126 FCS programs, with three teams being released each day from June 17 to July 28. Then, we'll preview all 13 conferences from August 1-4. Today, we present … Dayton.
We'll leave no stone left unturned when it comes to giving the FCS diehards all they could ask for this offseason. Learn about every program in the country, with HERO Sports.

FCS Preview Schedule – Team Links
The HERO Sports Preseason Top 25 Poll
Preseason All-American Teams
Dayton (6-5 IN 2018)
Pioneer Football League (Dayton finished 4th in 2018)
COACH: Rick Chamberlin – At School: 12th year (85-38) Overall: Same
LAST FCS POSTSEASON: 2015 (First Round)
2018 OFFENSE: 35.8 ppg. (13th in FCS)
2018 DEFENSE: 26.1 ppg. (T45th in FCS)
KEY GAME: Oct. 26 vs. San Diego: Every team eyes this game on their conference schedule. The Toreros have been at the top of the PFL the last few years without any losses. Dayton can make a statement with this one.
SUM IT UP: The Flyers were a better team than their 6-5 record may indicate. Three of those five losses came against playoff teams (SEMO, Duquesne and San Diego). Conference foe USD hasn't lost a PFL game since 2015, which came against Dayton. The Flyers pushed the Toreros in last year's matchup before falling 36-34. And the loss to Duquesne, who made the second round of the playoffs, was by only five points.
So expectations are high for Dayton this year to turn those close losses to wins, especially when you consider seven starters return on an explosive offense and six starters are back on defense.
This is an offense, well for one thing, has one of the best streaks in college football. Dayton has not been shutout in 476 games, the longest active streak in college football. It dates back to the 1976 season and current head coach Rick Chamberlin actually played in that game as a linebacker for the Flyers. The offense was especially impressive last year.
Jack Cook stepped into the starting role after fifth-year senior Alex Jeske suffered a season-ending knee injury in the first quarter of the season opener. He threw for 2,421 yards, 20 touchdowns and just two interceptions. Cook was named the PFL Offensive Freshman of the Year and a HERO Sports Freshman All-American. His top two pass catchers return — tight end Adam Trautman and wide receiver Ryan Skibinski. Both are within striking distance of breaking the school's record for career receptions, which is 133. Trautman has 108 and Skibinski has 102. The Flyers do have questions in the running game, though, replacing some holes on the offensive line along with 1,340-yard running back Tucker Yinger. Cook was the second-leading rusher with 423 yards and eight touchdowns.
Linebacker Andrew Lutgens is the physical and emotional leader of the defense. Safety Tim Simon is the top returning tackler after finishing second on the team last year with 75. And big things are expected from defensive tackle Mike Stodola this year. He broke out last season as a freshman with 22 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in a role that didn't see him start, but earn a lot of reps.
OUR TAKE: Dayton challenges itself once again in the nonconference. It has a rematch versus Duquesne and travels to Indiana State, a playoff bubble team expected to be in postseason contention this year. While San Diego won the PFL last year, it was challenged by a number of teams more than past years. The Flyers were one of those teams and ultimately went 5-3 in the conference. Expectations should be for that win total to increase. By how much? It's tough to say with a few key starting roles needing to be filled. But there's no doubt Dayton is going to play a part in the title race.

THE QUOTE: "Our 2019 schedule will again be a challenging one, especially having more road games than home. Our non-conference schedule puts us on the road two of the three by going to Indiana State and Robert Morris. Duquesne and San Diego were both in the FCS playoffs last year. As always, the PFL schedule will be tough. The league just keeps getting better, and going on the road to play at Valparaiso, Stetson, Morehead State and Drake makes it that much tougher." — Head Coach Rick Chamberlin said

Exhall Grange is one of the few specialist schools within the country to provide this invaluable service. Within our school the mobility and independence department provide assessment and training for many of our students with a wide range of disabilities, starting in the Early Years Foundation Unit right through to Post 16. Training includes a progression of skills ranging from; early movement, body awareness and concept development, onto independent travel, money management, shopping and use of public transport.
Mobility instructors from Guide Dogs for the Blind provide specific training to our visually impaired students and our own Mobility Officer provides generic training with particular expertise in physical disability including wheelchair instruction.
Over the years the mobility department has forged close links with charities such as Wizz Kids and local organisations such as Warwickshire road safety. These many links continue to enrich and compliment the work of the mobility and independence department.
Within the school we have a fully equipped studio flat. There students are able to develop their life skills in this fully equipped area. Activities include; bed making, washing and ironing, cleaning and preparing drinks and snacks.
The Mobility Department seeks to underpin the aims and mission statement of the school "To develop independent and resourceful young people".
In January 2011 Exhall Grange were vey pleased to welcome a new staff member onto their team. His name is Troy and he is a Labrador x Retriever. Troy has been given to the school by Guide Dogs and his official title is 'Buddy Dog'.
Troy has already proved himself as a useful member of the school team. He goes into classes where children are able to use him as a focus for topic work, PHSE, English etc. It has been reported that having Troy in class has a calming effect on students and they work better when his is in the room. Each week students take a turn being Troy's carer. Feeding, spending, grooming and exercise, teach students what is involved in caring for an animal as well as the responsibility of looking after someone.
For the visually impaired students at our school, Troy is proving very useful in preparing and assessing them for future guide dog ownership. He also gives them an opportunity to develop the skills necessary to have a guide dog.
All in all Troy is a very popular addition to the school. Many pupils who were nervous of dogs now consider him as their friend.
All pupils with a severe visual impairment are taught to read and write through the medium of Braille. A severe visual impairment ranges from having little or no sight to the ability to read print only in a large print size ie. arial point 36 minimum.
Pupils are introduced to Braille from about the age of four years (depending on their readiness to begin); however, formal teaching of Braille begins in the child's Reception year using the traditional Perkins brailler. The lessons are delivered by a fully qualified teacher of the visually impaired and are then reinforced by the class teacher. This pattern continues throughout the primary department.
In the secondary department pupils are taught specialist codes, for example those required in the study of Maths, and greater emphasis is placed on both fluency and comprehension when reading texts. They read novels in Braille and complete all class work using their knowledge of the code.
All pupils receive one fifty-minute lesson of Braille per week. In addition to this, pupils are taught to use modern technology such as refreshable Braille displays and BrailleNotes which can be linked to laptop computers. They are also taught to acquire good key-boarding skills.

We'll look into the different functions of many of their various functions. We'll explore strengths and weaknesses. I think some of them clearly outshine others but also how each one leads to the ideas we see today in film and comics.
I'll go over how the designs went through phases before settling in on the Bleeding Edge design that became the most infamous and the awesomely oversized Hulkbuster suits you know and love.
Many of these armors are upgrades of previous ones and will be listed together.
Tony Stark is the only version of Iron Man I'll use for reference in this article.
The Cinematic Iron Man suits will be noted beside their comic book counterparts, but focus will be on the originals.
One-shot suits may not make this list unless I find them to be specifically iconic or important to the character growth.
There are over 61 different suits that have been used.
The Iron Patriot Armor isn't included as it was technically Norman Osborn's (later Jim Rhodes) suit, not a real Iron Man Armor.
The First Armor

The Mark 1: This armor was, in fact, made to save his life. Shrapnel from one of his own warheads got lodged into his heart and slowly began poising him as it moved closer and closer inward. Nearly ending Tony Stark forever.
He built the reactor core to keep himself alive and realized he had created something of substantial power.
Something that could do more than keep shrapnel from killing him, something that could power a potential suit and help him escape his dire predicament. The Mark 1 may be the weakest of the armors, but there is no Iron Man without it. If I had to be honest, it's one of my favorites for how raw and still vulnerable it is, but more so, it makes Tony Stark special. He built this from scratch while dying; that's amazing.
Versions of this suit appear both in the film Iron Man with Robert Downey Jr. And in the origin of Iron Man in the comics.
The Upgrades
After returning home and putting more work into it, Tony Stark began pushing out his Iron Man suits' more traditional red and gold color styles. Each subsequently named Mark 2, 3, etc.
Often using Roman Numerals to dictate their numbers. Going as high as L(50) and even one suit labeled Mark LXXXV (85).
These upgrades to the original design first added flight, better blasts from the hands, and even the devastating blast that could be released from the chest. While sometimes cheesy, plenty of writers bring up the physical toll wearing the suits has on Tony. I have to say, knowing he is getting damaged behind his armor makes him a more relatable character.
Eventually, he was able to increase the durability of the armor and mitigate the damage he took from inside the suit and the amount of weight he could lift while using the armor. If he hadn't, we'd have lost Tony Stark long ago.
The best computer upgrades made the biggest difference, if I'm being honest. Teaching the A.I. in his suit, commonly referred to as Jarvis or Friday, to analyze opponents during combat made him almost over-powered and hard to counter because he was steps ahead of everyone.
Here's a quick photo bomb of many of the most famous Mark suits that weren't specialized for specific enemies.

The Armor
First Red and Gold Armor. Capable of flights and arc blasts. Though technically the Mark III in comics, this version was revealed as the Mark II and completely silver in the cinematic release. Becoming the eventual prototype for War Machine. Eventually, getting outfitted with guns, missiles, and an armor upgrade. I feel this is the prototype for every artist who has taken on the suit since.
The upgraded suit (the official Mark 3) had a more rigid shell but otherwise not much new. This is the prototype for the MARK III in films regarding how they came about, so I had to include it, but I found nothing special about it.
This was the Mark IX but is shown as the Mark IV in the cinematic release. It has the best CPU upgrade and was one of the longer-running suits. This is the start of Iron Man becoming one of the strongest superheroes in the Marvel Universe.
Here is the official War Machine Armor(Mark XI) that Tony Stark made in the comics. Not the one the "U.S." upgraded or whichever storyline has been passed around cinematically. This excellent design made War Machine more popular than originally expected.
In the comics, much like in the show, War Machine and Iron Man have a close relationship. Still, Stark was in this armor after having his previous armor destroyed in combat. He passed it onto Rhodes, going back to his original style. The missile-heavy, high-powered bullet spreading, tank-shell-taking armor would be permanently passed to his friend Rhodes.
These were the follow-ups to the War Machine armor; they reverted back to the arc powers. Most essential to point out that there is no Tony inside these suits. They were run remotely. However, the Mark XIII has accessories that can be called to upgrade it, including the first Hulkbuster Armor ever introduced. I would say these suits most inspired the animated versions of Tony Stark.
The Mark XV suit introduced a lot of new skills. The ability to heat up and even melt the weapon it grabs! No idea why that was a thing, kind of stupid. However, it also came with some mounted flying pieces that could be remote-controlled, fire pulsars, and even the ability to shoot acid! Which would come back to bite Tony in the tail. Remember the word acid.

The Mark XVI was short-lived but powerful. The short shelf-life was because its extra power came from a power source that also contaminated the user, causing illness that could prove fatal. I liked the "you can be a hero, but it will kill you" approach to storytelling myself.
These suits, from top to bottom, are Mark XIX, XX. Mark 19 had excellent blades and shields and is also known as the S.K.I.N. Armor. The unique S.K.I.N. is a metal that became the gold parts upon command(later, this effect is mimicked by nanobots in the films). Because Ultron had some control over S.K.I.N., this armor was soon abandoned for Mark 20. Mark 20 was the most energy-efficient design, and most after would be similar to it. It was destroyed by acid in battle.

Mark XXIII mainly was designed for space and thus handled atmospheric problems better than previous models. It was made for dealing with an alien invasion. It even had diamond tip tools and containment capabilities for collecting alien samples. This design idea is used with other suits in science-fiction lore for harvesting, so the creator of this was quite the innovator.
This Mark XXIV Tony wore when he was the Secretary of Defense. It has some fantastic new upgrades, such as being able to piece itself back together on command and return to the where if magnetically removed. (I'm pretty sure Magneto had busted Tony up a few times at this point). It also can launch protective energy fields to keep bystanders safe from attacks. The Mark XXV shown below is just the upgraded 24 after; wait for it, it was destroyed by acid.
This fantastic suit(Mark 26) was designed by Bruce Banner(The Hulk) and Tony Stark together. It was meant to help decontaminate Gamma radiation and radiation in general, even detect it. It is an extremely strong suit. It sucks in radiation, gaining energy from it. That caused it to become dangerous upon use and forced The Hulk to help save Iron Man from his own suit, leaving this powerhouse of an Armor to go back into the garage. I love the design on this one!
Though only briefly used, it's interesting to note this Mark XXVII armor was explicitly made for hyperspace travel. Keeping the blood from being gathered in the torso at insane speeds. The science-fiction nerd in me hates how reasonable this is and how hyperspace is just "okay" to travel nowadays when clever writers have things like this up their sleeve.
Mark XXVIII is one of the most unique armors and the beginning of the upgraded computer interface that learns from and integrates some of the user's desires into its code. In case its user dies, the armor would literally complete its goal. After being injured, this armor became Iron Man 2.0 and even sacrificed itself to stop a nuclear explosion. Effectively, this armor is its own superhero.
Mark XXIX, The Extremis Armor. This is the craziest of stories. So, as usual, becoming injured during a whole comic arc, the Extremis Armor was created by being integrated with Tony's freaking biology! With this new armor, he could use it by thought and even integrate with other technology while being inside it. Literally connected to his bones, it would lead to an infection that caused him to go into a coma. I will go on record saying without this armor; there is no modern Iron Man. Some of these ideas are linked to the latest Iron Man Armor design in the last Avengers: End Game, coming to his aid at an immediate threat to his body.
These five Mark Suits were never used by Tony Stark but built by him for different occasions. They were remotely activated when the son of Ho Yinsen was shot and killed, and Iron Man and other heroes had to work together to defeat them. I add them to remind you, Tony is often his own worst enemy.
Mark XXXVII, the Bleeding Edge Armor. This is the premier upgrade to The Extremis Armor, briefly integrated with Asgardian-type tech during a battle, becoming the darker, more powerful suit known as the Iron Destroyer Armor. It was downgraded after leaving Asgard. This armor was rebuilt with carbon parts instead of metals during Avengers VS X-Men, so Tony wouldn't get easily handled by Magento as he'd done in the past. This suit is entirely kept inside Tony's body. It can be called to his need at the site of immediate danger, such as the Extremis Armor before it. I think this was the best Iron Man, in my opinion.
Mark XXXVIII had one purpose, to deal with The Phoenix. It didn't do the best job and split the Phoenix's power into the five X-Men on the moon. If you haven't read the fantastic compendium of the 2012's X-Men VS Avengers, I highly suggest it.
The Mark XL(40) was built in secret while he was imprisoned by the Mandarin. Though built much like his original armor, it was far more powerful and helped Tony escape and lead him to victory. This armor could connect to something called The Swarm. It united a bunch of these tiny machines to emit a massive Pulse beam, much like his big attack in the popular Marvel VS Capcom video game series.
The Mark 42 armor was used mainly to test new technology. But its black and gold design is cool, so I threw it in for your viewing pleasure. I love when artists and writers try new things, even if they don't always work out. Be bold, people, be bold.
This is the Mark 44, the Heavy Duty Armor. It was used to deal with a free-for-all battle against 13 super-powered villains at once. It had the highest array of armor and arsenal to date. It was brought back more than once until it faced the ultimate super-powered threat. An angry, vengeful Hulk wrecked this suit during the Original Sin comic book arc. I can't recommend that arc enough.
So this Mark 48 model is meant to be worn over any other Iron Man suit and is probably the ONLY SUIT MADE OF ACTUAL IRON! I needed to put that in caps because come on! It was intended to fight Dark Elves. As iron is toxic to them, it was highly effective. Also, looked remarkable for being so short-lived.
This was actually a Hulkbuster Armor. However, this Mark 49 did not live up to its potential and was replaced by the Heavy Duty Armor upon being significantly damaged in battle with the Hulk. As we know from earlier, the Heavy Duty Armor also failed. As much as I enjoyed the Black and Gold Armor, it died with the end of the Original Sin Arc.
This is the Mark L. The Endo-Sym Armor. The third evolution of the Extremis, if you will. This is the insanely O.P. suit Tony made as a bad guy. It is a biological suit engineered with Symbiote-like building blocks. Psionicaly linked to Tony, it reacts faster and without the need for mechanics, even hardening in accordance with Starks own instincts. Arguably the fastest reacting suit he'd ever made. It's pretty badass, but as it was bonded with a symbiote, eventually it had to get destroyed…probably by acid.
Mark 51, the Model-Prime Armor, was meant to be able to transform and take on the properties of all suits before it. This armor has been in over 200 comics since its creation. It is one of the most powerful ever made despite looking a bit cartoonish in design(I'm not a fan of this armor, I admit it).
It can convert into a Hulkbuster form, a stealth form, and a space form. Victor Von Doom once got a hold of it and used Dark Magic to enhance its tech even further and make it actually cool for a time. It also uses Friday as the onboard computer. You'll know Friday from the movies onboard computer in the later Avenger films.
Mark 54 was made specifically to deal with Carol Danvers during the second Superhuman Civil War, but it failed. In an epic battle, the electronics in the suit buckled to Captain Marvel's power, and she wrecked the suit sending Tony into another Coma.
Mark 55 had a limited life in comics but is most notable for having a freaking motorbike form! He rode it as a motorbike which then transformed into his suit of armor. This is the most anime thing ever, I wish they kept it around longer.
Mark 56 is actually a backup. It's a relatively standard Iron Man suit used after fighting in the Fing Fang Foombuster armor mentioned later. I put it on this list because Tony would have died without it. Or at least gone into a coma again.
This is the Mark 59. Another standard Iron Man suit, only connected to the Motherboard A.I. being its sole difference from the previous Mark 56. This color scheme is the same in the Iron Man films as Mark XLVII(47), so I felt I had to add it. Also, remember the Motherboard A.I. part for later.
The Vespa Armor. Mark LX is the usual Iron Man armor but with a few perks. Instead of the abandoned motorbike model, this one transforms from a Vespa, a scooter, if you will. Which I guess is more Tony Stark-like in some ways.
Otherwise, it possesses all the standard Iron Man features. Except for one of the Vespa's handlebars turns into an Energy Sword!
Mark 62 is actually an underwater armor. I left it here because it is generally a normal Iron Man Armor in every other way except he is underwater when using it. He can clearly still use it above water, and no noticeable fundamental differences are added or taken away. I call this the laziest designed armor. Shh! Let's just dip it in some acid and move on, maybe?
Though a short-lived suit, Mark 69 is the armor Tony first wore in 2020 after reclaiming his life. The pose, the fact it represented him getting his life back, and the number means I couldn't let myself leave this one off the list.
Mark 70 is the penultimate Iron Man Armor. It is so durable it can be pit against Vibranium and Adamantium on occasion and even has a freaking defibrillator in it if Tony needs to revive himself during heavy combat. However, this suit must be manually suited up and uses an A.I. named B.O.S.S. instead of the usual friendly Friday. Eventually, it got fused with a symbiote making it far more accessible and dangerous. It can switch colors to all white or black and enter stealth because of this. It also can launch tendrils like the Venom and Carnage symbiotes now. I could not imagine a need to ever upgrade, but I'm sure Tony will.
The Specialized Suits
Space Armor
The Original Iron Man "Space Armor" was the Mark V(left) model. Built to make sure he didn't suffocate or freeze at the cost of some mobility and power. The more prominent "Space Armor" is the Mark XLV(right) model, which Tony wore as his primary suit during his time with The Guardians of the Galaxy.
Hydro Armor
The first "Hydro Armor," the Mark VI(above), was used whenever Iron Man originally went underwater, such as dealing with Namor or for similar threats or exploration. What's unique about Hydro Armor is that it can withstand severe pressure from deep-sea levels. That means it has more safety features than even the space armor and is essentially a hefty armor piece. The second Iron Man underwater armor, the Mark 35(below), was actually stolen by Wolverine and used so he could take care of some business. That's its main claim to fame, stolen by Logan. I love that.
Stealth Armor
From top to bottom, the first Stealth Armor was the Mark VII. While it was effective at stealth, it lacked much of the usual Iron Man Armor's defensive and offensive capabilities. I love the design, but I think it is stepping on Black Panther's toes a bit.
The next version(Mark XXI) was a short-lived, excellent design modeled specifically for battling T'Challa, the Black Panther. It's unique because it's not made of metal but a ceramic-type alloy. It's also one of the earliest examples of the computer analyzing an opponent's combat habits and predicting movement for counter-combat. It's the only reason Tony could fight T'Challa.
The Mark XLIII is probably the best of the Stealth Suits. It can handle more damage, has (weaker versions) of the repulsor blasts, and can make Illusions of itself when cornered. It can even conceal itself to make it appear as if the wearer is in regular clothes and not wearing protective armor. I don't know about you, but I want this armor for myself.
So, I know these are some of our favorite Iron Man Armor variations. Some are add-ons to suits, and others are suits in themselves. Mark 13, 36, 52, and 71 are all Hulkbuster suits from top to bottom. What they have in common is that they all lost. These are some of the most physically dominant suits Iron Man has ever put out, going toe to toe with "The strongest there is."

The third one, Mark XLII, is the design chosen for the Hulkbuster suit in Avengers: Age of Ultron film. That Hulkbuster Armor gives Tony Stark his first Hulkbuster suit win. It is also the most successful of the Hulkbuster Armors in the comics. Even being able to transform into a car, which Tony can drive before converting into a suit around him. He ends ups using it to fight all the biggest of the bads for a while, including trying to go one-on-one with The Sentry.
Colossal Armors
The first massive armor, the Mark 57, is known as The Fing Fang Foombuster Armor. It was made to battle the Godzilla-like monster Fing Fang Foom when it went mad. The armor eventually fell. I like the Gundam-esque design of it.
The second is the Godkiller Armor Mark II (Mark 61 of the original Armor). It was crafted with blueprints of some ancient, original God Killer Armor. Tony clearly added some Iron Man flare to it. He used it to battle literal Celestials, almost killing one after losing an arm but was overrun by something known as the Horde, and the suit was destroyed.
The Ultron Buster
Mark LXV, made to defeat that long thorn in the side of Tony Stark, Ultron. It had been in development by him for some time, and when it was ultimately used, it ended up getting fused to Tony's body! He had to constantly adjust it and fight through the pain and fusion, eventually using the Nano Armor to get free of the pain. I feel this really solidified him again as a hero even without the suit, overcoming the pain of fusion to stop his foe through sheer willpower.
The Nano Armor
Mark 58, the Nano Armor, saved Tony's life multiple times. It isn't actually worn by him but controlled, being small enough to get into the bloodstream, as it were. This shrinking-size armor comes in multiples and can act in unison on Tony's behalf to help purge bodies of foreign control. This is the armor that cured Fing Fang Foom after the anima-like suit got trashed.
Godbuster Armor
The Mark LXIII was actually made right from Stark's imagination. Upon escaping The Motherboard(remember from earlier?) Tony, still connected to Motherboard, was able to manifest this armor into reality. It's all the things he wanted and felt he needed to kill the essential God of the A.I. world. Though it had a short-lived life because Tony actually decided this suit was TOO POWERFUL to exist and sentenced it to self-destruct. It is one hell of a look and technically counts as. Yes, this can be considered the most powerful of the armors.
Thorbuster Armor
Mark XXII was a sad armor. Made when Tony was manipulated into going against Thor in fear of an Asgardian invasion. It was also made using an Asgardian crystal, originally a gift from Thor to Stark to help his studies. Upset that his friend used a gift as a weapon, Thor wrecked the armor and destroyed its reactor.
Silver Centurion Armor
This armor is special. While it was initially designed for Tony's friend Rhodes, Stark used it himself due to circumstances becoming dire. While not terribly different than his other armors, what makes it unique is what happens when it is destroyed. He uses the destruction to make others believe it to be the death of Iron Man.
The Ice Age Man Armor
This Mark LXVI armor was made in 10,000,000 B.C. when Tony Stark was sent back in time using parts remaining from the Extremis Armor and some Vibranium Batteries. It was eventually destroyed in a battle with Mephisto but managed to blast the Time Stone, getting Tony back to his time. I love this design. Very raw, very metal. Almost a Wolverine meets Iron Man.
The Virtual Armor
Mark LXVIII is not actually for the virtual world but comprised of solid holograms. Tony once praised it as his greatest armor ever(I disagree). He ended up having to use this as a prison for Arno Stark. It allowed Tony to stop Arno without killing a member of his family.
There are other armors in different timelines, but they are not very different in their combat capabilities.
Tony Stark has been a villain without being manipulated. Usually, it is due to his pride or miscommunication.
Iron Man's first appearance was: Tales of Suspense#39, 1962
Iron Man is one of the few heroes to defeat Thanos, albeit he did so in the cinematic film Avengers: End Game and using the Infinity Stones.
In Iron Man 3, you can see a live-action army of over 20 different Iron Man suits, all inspired by the Iron Man Armor listed above.
We learn Iron Man's weaknesses from reviewing the history in this list seem to be Acid, a Coma, and The Hulk.

Question: Is Iron Man's armor made of Adamantium?
Answer: No, it is not. Though the Godbuster armor may have been capable of handling Adamantium since it was designed from his imagination.
Question: Which Iron Man suit is the strongest?
Answer: The Godbuster, though the Endo-Sym Armor is pretty powerful. The Mark 70 is the best of the primary armor and arguably the most well-rounded of all the Iron Man Suits. If I had to pick, I think I would say the Mark 70.
Question: Does Tony's Armor keep him alive?
Answer: It did originally. I believe Tony's heart issues have been fixed since. (These events are also done in the cinematic version).
That concludes our Iron Man Armor guide. I'm sure more versions will be made, and there were a few left off this list for redundancy even with how extensive this list is. I love when new writers and artists take a stab at creating these suits and hope we see more unique variables emerge for specific occasions.
Tony Stark is one of the greatest minds in comicdom. His ability to invent on the fly and respond/adapt/learn to and from new technology makes him a threat in any timeline. Luckily, the armor is almost always used for good. Almost always.

Welcome to My Essens Review!
Chances are someone approached you about the business opportunity and now you landed on this blog post for more research right?
First of all, congrats on actually taking this step because so many people just jump into things not knowing a clue.
Essens was founded back in 2011 by three people, Viliam Lalinsky, Libor Prus and Michal Kovar (CEO).
In the past, Michal Kovar and Viliam Lalinsky were involved with a company called FM group.
FM became FM World and are polished based network marketing company that promoted personal care, household goods and nutritional products.
To be honest there are just so many Essens products to list that it would be thousands of words and you probably don't have time for that.
You can get the full retail pricing and product list on their website.
Inside of the Essens Compensation plan, you can get paid to purchase and sell Essens products to retail customers.
All Retail commissions are paid out through a unilevel compensation plan that has extra bonuses as well.
Essens pays out retail commissions when you sell products to retail customers.
According to Essens compensation plan, retail commissions can be up to 40% of price paid for a product.
Essens pay out their residual commissions through a unilevel compensation plan structure.
All residual commissions are paid a percentage of the sales volume across the entire unilevel team.
To actually qualify for residual commissions, you must generate at least €20 EUR in sales volume each month.
This can be either by selling to retail customers or you can just purchase something for that amount.
To qualify for either Double Silver Manager or Gold Manager+, you must have two unilevels generating at least €15,000 EUR a month.
There are 4 Bonus Pools that consists of 5% of Essens company wide sales volume.
Just like the Depth Bonus, you must maintain €100 EUR in sales volume a month to qualify for the Bonus Pool.
The Loyalty Bonus is made up of 3 annual bonus pools, each with 1% of Essens company-wide sales volume.
On top of what you see above, Essens affiliates must also maintain at least €100 EUR in sales volume each month for the year the Loyalty Bonus is being qualified for.
It looks like the affiliate membership is free inside of Essens, but to qualify for commissions you must either sell €20 EUR to €100 EUR products every month or you can just make the purchases yourself.
Any Essens reviews you see bashing this company have their own personal agenda.
All of these are VERY strong points on a successful network marketing company.
My advice to you would be to buy some of the products and see how they work for you and compare them to the general marketplace.
if you see they are overpriced, just take that into consideration before joining.

Ohio reports fewer than 2,000 COVID cases for second day in a row
By Kristen Spicker
Ohio reported fewer than 2,000 new daily cases of coronavirus Monday, with 1,814 cases recorded in the last day, according to the Ohio Department of Health.
Monday also marked the fifth day in a row the state has seen a decrease in daily cases. Since July, Ohio's cases and hospitalizations had climbed, with the state hitting 3,393 daily cases and 159 hospitalizations in one day last week.

ODH Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff said last week he isn't sure how high cases would reach in this wave.
"I don't believe that we are at our peak," he said. "I believe that we are going to see those numbers continue to increase for some time."
In the last 21 days, Ohio is averaging 1,854 cases a day. In the last week, its average is about 2,567 cases a day.
