Since the past few days the SSHD Rootkit issue has caused havoc amongst server admins. It is still unknown how the attackers manage to get root access to the servers and modify the keyutils-libs package. This has been affecting mainly 64 bit Operating Systems with control panels like cPanel, Direct Admin, Plesk, Webuzo, etc.
1) Remove the wrong file which is there on your system, e.g.
2) Remove the symlink as well, e.g.
Then restart the system. Restarting the services will do no good. So please restart the system.
Though there is a possibility of the server being re-infected I have personally found from more than 20 servers I manage, that servers with NON-STANDARD SSH ports were not infected.
Hence please do change the SSH port for your servers safety.
Talk back: Have you noticed the SSHD rootkit on your servers? What have you done to clean up your infected servers? Please do share with everyone.

It is designed to provide you with all the features you need from a bulletin board while having an absolute minimal impact on the resources of the server. SMF is the next generation of forum software.
Once you have installed SMF one more task remains is to restrict bots from your forum. SMF can be installed with one click via Softaculous.
Turn on email activation for all new registered members.
Choose the method of registration for new members.
This will not allow new members to post unless they activate their account.
Change the value for "Post count under which users must pass verification to make a post" value to 10 (or more if you want).
This will ask the user to pass verification unless they reach the above amount of posts.
This will make all the new registrations to enter a verification code in order to register on your forum.
Choose among the various verification methods available.
We have made the registration process difficult for the bots.
And even if they manage to register they wont be able to mess up due to code verification added in step 2.
WordPress is one of the most popular blog today. As it is the most popular application there are numerous hackers who are honing their skills to make it to the big leagues.
WordPress provides security updates immediately if a loop hole is detected, so being updated with WordPress will help you to be more secure. It hardly takes a minute to update WordPress with Softaculous.
Most users make a mistake by continuing with the default username for the administrator account ie is admin. Its a common username and every hacker would know that. Choose a username other than admin you can use your name i.e. john as your username. You can choose the username on the install form.
Using a simple password is a bad idea. Use a password that is more secure to let the hackers stay away from you. Use a combination of alphabets, numbers and special characters.
The wp-config.php file contains all the configuration and settings of WordPress, exposing this file to hackers is a very big threat to your blog they could easily inject malware into your blog or delete the content on your blog. The solution for this is to revoke the permission to the config file. The WordPress config file is wp-config.php which located in the root directory of your installation. Change the permission to something safe like 0600 if suPHP is enabled on your server. You can ask your host to confirm which permission is suitable on your server.
Backing up your installation is very important because if your installation is hacked you can restore your installation from the backup. You should always take a back up of your database and files, it is recommended to take a weekly backup of your data there are several plugins that will do it for you or you can use Softaculous to backup and restore your installation.
Make a point to update the plugins when there is an update available. It is always a good idea to be updated. Also, if you are not using a specific plugin, delete it.

[New Publication] Children's Literature in Translation: Texts and Contexts (open access)
October 19, 2020 Publications
"For many of us, our earliest and most meaningful experiences with literature occur through the medium of a translated children's book. This volume focuses on the complex interplay that happens between text and context when works of children's literature are translated. What contexts of production and reception account for how translated children's books come to be made and read as they are? How are translated children's books adapted to suit the context of a new culture? Spanning the disciplines of Children's Literature Studies and Translation Studies, this book brings together established and emerging voices to provide an overview of the analytical, empirical and geographic richness of current research in this field and to identify and reflect on common insights, analytical perspectives and trajectories for future interdisciplinary research. This volume will appeal to an interdisciplinary audience of scholars and students in Translation Studies and Children's Literature Studies and related disciplines. It has a broad geographic and cultural scope, with contributions dealing with translated children's literature in the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, Spain, France, Brazil, Poland, Slovenia, Hungary, China, the former Yugoslavia, Sweden, Germany, and Belgium."

If your Windows 10 Updates are stuck on the – Working on updates, Don't turn off your computer – screen, during their installation, which seems to be taking forever to complete, this fix will help you resolve the issue. There are many other places where the Windows get stuck. Some scenarios are where Windows 10 is stuck while downloading updates or Ready to Install or stuck at login screen after upgrade on Windows 10. This post offers solutions to resolve Windows 10 stuck on Working on updates.
When you see the message 'Working on updates', it is best to keep it that way for a couple of hours. The whole progress seems to very slow and seems to be taking forever. Sometimes it is even more than 100%!
If you have already waited for a long time – say overnight – and still face this issue, then the only way out from here is to force shutdown your PC with a long press on your PC or Laptop. Then reboot, and see if your computer boots normally, and takes you to your login screen. If yes, then let's follow the methods below. But if it starts updating again, then we will have to use the Safe Mode to Restore Windows to a state where everything should be working fine. We will talk about it in the end. So assuming you are back to your account, follow these suggestions.
If you could boot to your desktop, then it's a good thing and the issue in all likelihood could have been resolved on its own. Nevertheless as a matter of abundant precaution, so that you do not face Windows update or upgrade problems in future, I suggest you do the following.
Windows manages a cache folder where it downloads all the updates. It is possible that after an update the files are still there, and Windows is not able to install them as they have already been installed. You will need to clear the cache files manually from there.
The default location of Windows Update is C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution. The SoftwareDistribution folder is where everything gets downloaded and later installed.
Go to the Software distribution folder, and delete all files from there, and empty the recycle bin.
Type the following command net start wuauserv and hit enter in the command prompt.
Related read: How to delete downloaded, failed, and pending Windows Updates.
Windows has an inbuilt Windows Update Troubleshooter as well. Go to Settings > Update and Security > Troubleshoot > Windows Update. Run this, and see if it can resolve your issue.
We have covered this in full details about how you can almost reset Windows Update. You will need to have admin privileges and use PowerScript to accomplish this.
Run Windows Update to see if any updates are available still.
If you had already enabled the F8 key earlier, things are easier as you press F8 while booting, to enter Safe Mode.
If you cannot enter Safe Mode, then you may then have to boot into Windows 10 with your Windows Installation Media or Recovery Drive and select Repair your computer to enter Troubleshoot > Advanced Startup Options > Command Prompt. You can now use CMD to run commands. You may use a Windows 10 DVD or a bootable USB drive, or you can burn Windows 10 ISO to a USB drive using another computer. You can also try Automatic Repair option to see if that works for you before restore.
Let us know if any of these helped to fix this problem on your PC.

The Castles of Mad King Ludwig
In the tile-laying game Castles of Mad King Ludwig, players are tasked with building an amazing, extravagant castle for King Ludwig II of Bavaria...one room at a time. You see, the King loves castles, having built Neuschwanstein (the castle that inspired the Disney theme park castles) and others, but now he's commissioned you to build the biggest, best castle ever — subject, of course, to his ever-changing whims. Each player acts as a building contractor who is adding rooms to the castle he's building while also selling his services to other players.
In Bruges (a.k.a. Brugge or Brügge depending on the country in which you live), players assume the role of merchants who must maintain their relationships with those in power in the city while competing against one another for influence, power and status. Dramatic events cast their shadows over the city, with players needing to worry about threats to their prosperity from more than just their opponents.The game includes 165 character cards, with each card having one of five colors. On a turn, a player chooses one of his cards and performs an action, with six different actions being available: Take workers, take money, mitigate a threat, build a canal, build a house or hire the character depicted on the card. In principle, every card can be used for every action – but the color of the card determines in which areas the actions can be used or the strength of the chosen action, e.g., blue cards provide blue workers and red cards help mitigate red threats. All of the action is geared toward the gathering of prestige, with the most prestigious merchant winning in the end.

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly Has Issued a New Mask Mandate
Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly points to posters displaying the Kansas Unified Testing Strategy during a press conference, Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2020, at the Statehouse in Topeka, Kan. (Evert Nelson/The Topeka Capital-Joual via AP)
TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly has issued a new mask mandate in hopes of lessening the spread of the coronavirus after the state again reported another record seven-day increase in new cases.
State law allows Kansas' 105 counties to opt out of the order. Most did when Kelly issued a similar order in July. But the state's rolling seven-day average for new coronavirus cases was more than nine times higher Wednesday than it was than when her first order took effect.
Kelly's order takes effect Nov. 25, the day before Thanksgiving, and only in counties that don't yet have their own mask mandates. That is a majority of the state's counties.
The governor says she is giving counties a week to work out their own mask rules.

Perception on TNT
For three years I was the scientific advisor for the TNT television drama, Perception, starring Eric McCormack and Rachael Leigh Cook.
Eric McCormack played Dr. Daniel Pierce, an eccentric neuroscience professor with paranoid schizophrenia. He was recruited by the FBI to help solve complex cases. Pierce had an intimate knowledge of human behavior and a masterful understanding of the way the mind works.
My job was to suggest ideas and brainstorm scenarios with the talented stable of writers, and then to read the scripts in detail for accuracy and feedback. For each episode, I also spent a minute or two speaking to the underlying neuroscientific issues. See "Inside the Mind of Perception with David Eagleman".
By season 3, I wrote the story for one of the episodes, entitled Eternity.

John Lennon's killer Mark Chapman denied parole for the tenth time
By creammagazine, August 24, 2018
Mark Chapman, the sick dude who killed John Lennon, has been denied parole for the tenth.
Chapman shot and murdered Lennon outside the Dakota Building in Manhattan on December 8, 1980. Lennon had been living in the building with his wife Yoko Ono, and was returning home when the gunman approached him.
Now 63, Chapman has been serving 20 years to life at the Wende Correctional Facility in western New York and will continue to do so until a further parole hearing.
The last time Chapman applied and was denied parole was in 2016.
"I am sorry for causing pain," he has said. "I am sorry for being such an idiot and choosing the wrong way for glory."
Chapman had formerly said he chose to kill Lennon so that he could "be somebody". Antonino Tati

The prosecution has finished presenting its evidence in the corruption trial of former state Treasurer Timothy Cahill, opening the door for the Quincy-bred politician to take the witness stand.
Cahill, a former city councilor and restaurant owner in Quincy, is charged with launching a $1.5 million Lottery advertising campaign to boost his 2010 campaign for governor, which the state Attorney General's office contends was a violation of a state law that bars an official from using his or her office to gain an unwarranted privilege.
It was unclear precisely when Cahill will take the stand, though it's likely to be today or Friday. Also on trial with Cahill is his former top aide, Scott Campbell. The trial began Nov. 5.
Prosecutor James O'Brien on Wednesday called two digital evidence specialists from the state Attorney General's office as his final two witnesses, then cross-examined defense witness Karen Kaplan, president of the advertising firm Hill Holiday. In her testimony, Kaplan said she had no knowledge her company's CEO, Michael Sheehan, worked on campaign strategy with Cahill when he was running for governor, including writing scripts and organizing a fundraiser that raised $8,000.
The state Lottery, which Cahill oversaw as state treasurer, was a client of Hill Holiday's for about a decade, Kaplan testified, paying as much as $900,000 a year in fees for creative work on advertisements and placement of them.
Kaplan described the relationship between Sheehan and Cahill as "CEO to CEO." Sheehan is expected to be called to testify as a defense witness.
O'Brien sought to cast the relationship between Cahill and Sheehan as more chummy. He asked Kaplan if she knew Sheehan served on the boards of Thayer Academy in Braintree and St. Anselm College in New Hampshire at the same time Cahill's daughters attended the schools. Kaplan said she did not know that about Cahill's daughters at the time the Lottery ads were being developed, but does now.
Kaplan said she did know one of Cahill's daughters was hired by Hill Holiday for a job in New York City.
"It's not unheard of that a client's daughter would be given an entry-level job," Kaplan said.
Jeffrey Denner, one of Cahill's attorneys, asked Kaplan about the genesis of the Lottery ads in question.
Kaplan testified the Lottery ads were run in response to attacks from the Republican Governors Association, which backed GOP candidate Charlie Baker, questioning the management of the Lottery.
"I thought it was an appropriate ad," Kaplan said.
The jury was also played a clip of a television interview Cahill did in 2010, in which he said the ads were in keeping with what the Lottery always did in the run-up to the lucrative holiday season.

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 12 — The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) want discussions with the Youth and Sports Ministry (KBS) on the direction to be taken by the Academy Badminton Malaysia (ABM) to be held as soon as possible.
"In talks held in 2017 and 2018, it was decided that students aged between 13 and 18 from the Bukit Jalil Sports School (BJSS) be transferred to the ABM to stay with the elite and back-up shuttlers. They were also supposed to continue their studies at ABM with the cooperation of the Education Ministry and the budget set aside was RM16 million," said BAM president Datuk Seri Norza Zakaria.
"So, we wish to ask the KBS, under the new minister (Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman) to help us get the allocation so that we can run the academy as planned," he told a press conference after chairing the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) executive board meeting today.
The local media reported today that the RM31 million-academy's operations could not be fully carried out as the RM16 million allocation approved by the previous government for the period from 2019 to 2020 had not been disbursed.
Meanwhile, Norza, who is also the OCM president, said athletes from sports with no national associations or the associations were not members of OCM could still compete ini the SEA Games in the Philippines this November.
He told the affected athletes and associations to state their preferences to the OCM, apart from fulfilling the criteria set by the selection committee, which is led by him and also among others comprise representatives from the National Sports Council (NSC) and National Sports Institute (NSI).

Nursery and primary school children at risk, warns parent
Nursery and primary school children in West Molesey at risk, warns parent
By Ellie Cambridge
Concerns: Surrey County Council said pedestrian islands would suffice
Parents fear for children's safety after a new school was denied a crossing, while another less than two miles away has been granted one.
Matt Ralph, whose two daughters attend Hurst Park Primary School, West Molesey, was unhappy the transport plan drawn up by Surrey County Council did not include an extra crossing point for the nursery and primary age children.
He said: "It is plain in neglecting a quarter (or more) of the children from safely crossing the busy Hurst Road (10 accidents in 10 years on this stretch) as it does not include a safe pedestrian crossing.
"Therefore the transport plan fails, and is ineffective. Less than two miles away on the same road, Grovelands Primary, has been given its own zebra crossing."
Kim Divey, headteacher, said: "The children's safety is of paramount importance and the school strongly supports any proposal which effectively promotes their safety."
But Mr Ralph believes the Highway Department needs to allocate funds from its budget to rectify the safety issue.
A county council spokesman said: "The safety of our children is our top priority and after close inspection of the area we believe the several pedestrian islands that are currently used by pupils and parents on a daily basis ensure the safety of pedestrians crossing the road."
The school serves 210 pupils, with a nursery on site catering for 30 children, but is expanding and moving to a new site 0.5km away.
Mr Ralph said: "It is a matter of time before a child is injured on the road and at present those in authority are turning a blind eye to the problems."
The school was not available for comment.

Regulatory pathways inside living cells employ feed-forward architectures to fulfill essential signal processing functions that aide in the interpretation of various types of inputs through noise-filtering, fold-change detection and adaptation. Although it has been demonstrated computationally that a coherent feed-forward loop (CFFL) can function as noise filter, a property essential to decoding complex temporal signals, this motif has not been extensively characterized experimentally or integrated into larger networks. Here we use post-transcriptional regulation to implement and characterize a synthetic CFFL in an Escherichia coli cell-free transcription-translation system and build larger composite feed-forward architectures. We employ microfluidic flow reactors to probe the response of the CFFL circuit using both persistent and short, noise-like inputs and analyze the influence of different circuit components on the steady-state and dynamics of the output. We demonstrate that our synthetic CFFL implementation can reliably repress background activity compared to a reference circuit, but displays low potential as a temporal filter, and validate these findings using a computational model. Our results offer practical insight into the putative noise-filtering behavior of CFFLs and show that this motif can be used to mitigate leakage and increase the fold-change of the output of synthetic genetic circuits.

Collaborative Filtering, Inverse User Frequency, Prediction, Recommender System, Similarity Measure.
Recommender Systems are tools to understand the huge amount of data available in the internet world. Collaborative filtering (CF) is one of the most knowledge discovery methods used positively in recommendation system. Memory collaborative filtering emphasizes on using facts about present users to predict new things for the target user. Similarity measures are the core operations in collaborative filtering and the prediction accuracy is mostly dependent on similarity calculations. In this study, a combination of weighted parameters and traditional similarity measures are conducted to calculate relationship among users over Movie Lens data set rating matrix. The advantages and disadvantages of each measure are spotted. From the study, a new measure is proposed from the combination of measures to cope with the global meaning of data set ratings. After conducting the experimental results, it is shown that the proposed measure achieves major objectives that maximize the accuracy Predictions.

Myths and Folklore
Incubus, Succubus & Hypnagogia
Nick Redfern January 31, 2019
In a 1900 book, History of the Devil and the Idea of Evil, written by Dr. Paul Carus, we get to see what some of our ancient ancestors had to say about the unholy offspring that a coupling between an Incubus and a man, or a Succubus and a woman could create. And if you're not aware of the incubus-succubus issue, read on. Carus recorded: "The theory of incubi and succubi is presented in all its indecency on the authority of St. Thomas Aquinas, who in his commentary on Job (Chap. 40) interprets Behemoth (a large animal, probably the elephant) as the Devil, and derives from the mention of the animal''s sexual strength (verse 16) the theory that evil demons can have intercourse with human beings. Satan is supposed to serve first as a succubus (or female devil) to men, and then as an incubus (or male devil) to women; and St. Thomas declares that children begotten in this way ought to be regarded as the children of the men whom Satan served as succubus. They would, however, the more cunning than normal children on account of the demoniacal influence to which they were exposed in their pre-natal condition. Matthæus Paris mentions that within six months one such incubus-baby developed all its teeth and attained the size of a boy of seven years, while his mother became consumptive and died."
There was a strong belief that something decidedly non-human was behind the offspring of these terrifying, late night couplings. As for St. Thomas Aquinas, to whom Carus referred, he was highly knowledgeable on this matter. He said of assaults on the sleeping and the unwary, and of the nature of the children that resulted: "Still, if some are occasionally begotten from demons, it is not from the seed of such demons, nor from their assumed bodies, but from the seed of men, taken for the purpose; as when the demon assumes first the form of a woman, and afterwards of a man; just so they take the seed of other things for other generating purposes."
One of the biggest problems when it comes to the incubus and the succubus is the matter of their physical appearance. Or, more correctly, their multiple appearances. People who have experienced such things have described encounters with the so-called "Gray" extraterrestrials of UFO/"alien abduction" lore. Others have claimed rape by demons. More than a few have found themselves under the sway of the closest thing one could imagine to a real-life, shape-shifting, werewolf. Many have experienced horrifying visitations from a phenomenon called the "Old Hag." It's a creature that surfaces all around the world, but which is most curiously prevalent, for reasons that remain unknown, among the people of Newfoundland, Canada. As its name suggests, this breed of creature manifests as a white-or-black-haired, withered and wailing, ancient crone. A welcome visitor, she is not.
The prevailing, skeptical view on encounters with an incubus or a succubus is that they are provoked by something called Hypnagogia, better known as "Sleep Paralysis." It is an age-old phenomenon that was finally given a name in the 19th century, by a French physician, Louis Ferdinand Alfred Maury. Essentially, sleep paralysis is a physical state that is somewhere between being awake and being asleep. At that hazy moment, when transition from one distinct state to another is occurring – and, more importantly, if and when that transition is violently interrupted – both body and mind act in decidedly strange fashion.
Sleep Paralysis plunges a person into a dream-like condition in which they, literally, cannot move. For all intents and purposes they are physically paralyzed, and that includes their vocal chords, too: the person is unable to shout, or scream, for help. They also, typically, detect a deeply malevolent presence in the room in which they are sleeping – or, on other occasions, experiencers will describe predatory forms slowly, and in creeping fashion, approaching the room. It's an experience that can be accompanied by strange and menacing voices, incomprehensible words screamed or whispered at the terrified soul in rapid-fire time, and the sense of something dangerous looming over the affected person, as they struggle to both wake up and move. When they finally manage to do so, the dark atmosphere and attendant malevolent entity are gone, as in practically immediately.
Those skeptical of the idea that Sleep Paralysis has external origins would likely say that the large number of Old Hag encounters that originate in Newfoundland are caused by cultural conditioning, and subconscious knowledge of how the experience should play out. Of only one thing can we be certain: when Hypnagogia occurs, an absolute multitude of supernatural forms appear out of the ether and subject us to violent, sexual encounters.
It's easy to understand why Hypnagogia is perceived as being the cause of attacks of the incubus and succubus variety. But, there are important questions that needs answering. Sleep Paralysis is an undeniable, real phenomenon; there is no doubt about that. But, is it a product of the internal intricacies of the mind, the dream state, and the subconscious? Maybe not. It might actually be provoked by an external, supernatural source; one that can invade our dream states and manipulate them accordingly.

Searching for Sylvester Baxter
In early January, I boarded the Orange Line at Downtown Crossing and headed north, bound for the newest stop in the Boston subway system: Assembly Square. I wasn't going to Assembly for the novelty of a new train station—though I do love new train stations (and they are hard to come by in this nation of neglected public infrastructure). Instead, I was making a kind of pilgrimage, to find the new state park named after a man whose life I have been tracing out through hunted citations and the garbled results of endless searches in electronic newspaper databases. I wanted to find out who else had remembered this forgotten Boston reformer whose ideas and longings I have been trying to reconstruct across the clouded gulf of time, and to stand for a moment in the peripheral glow of a halo of a minor reputation.
I first learned that Sylvester Baxter had a park named after him while absorbed in one my favorite procrastination activities: panning over Google Maps and randomly flying down on places I'd like to know more about (it is possible to spend hours entranced in this way). I'd read about Somerville's new Assembly Square project, and was curious to see what sort of development had been tucked in between I-93 and the Mystic River, where the Ford company once put together finned cars to sell to the proud heads-of-households of the postwar boom. As I zoomed in, I was shocked at the label hovering over the green strip just north of the development: Sylvester Baxter Riverfront Park.
That shock was on account of the fact that, if I may brag for a moment (that is, if what I am about to do counts as bragging at all), I probably know more about Sylvester Baxter than all but a handful of people living today. (The reader may gasp at this stunning bit of arrogance, but I feel confident saying I am a "1 percenter" in the domain of Sylvester Baxter knowledge. Imagine the triumphant, cocky swelling in my chest as I type these words!) That's because Baxter is one the main character of the third chapter of my dissertation. For nearly thirty years across the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Baxter was the foremost agitator for the consolidation of Boston into a regional metropolis. In pursuit of this dream, he editorialized endlessly, joined reform campaigns, and became secretary of the Metropolitan Parks Commission, the first regional park planning agency in the country. For this latter activity, Baxter occasionally makes an appearance as a minor character in books about the history of landscape architecture or the environmental history of Boston.1 But, as I've come to learn, Baxter's role in shaping Boston went far beyond his work as a park administrator. He was an amateur geographer and nature writer, a prominent mouthpiece for the socialism of Edward Bellamy, an interpreter of British and German municipal reform policies, a bicycling enthusiast, and even a popularizer of modernist poetry. He was a living collection of the hodgepodge of liberal reforms circulating amongst New England's Yankee middle class in the late nineteenth. And one of the themes that knitted together all of his various enthusiasms was the dream of a unified metropolitan entity, a Greater Boston, sanctioned not only by jurisdictional power but geographic reality.
So I walked out of Assembly Station, feet sliding wildly on the too-polished floor of the new platform, and headed out towards the Mystic River, over the crackless sidewalks of a just-laid parking lot, dusted that afternoon with the powder of a recent flurry. My laptop was nestled in my backpack, and on that laptop there is a crowded folder filled with every citation about Baxter that I've been able to scour out of the internet and libraries. Perhaps, I thought, there is no other hard drive in the world that has so many mentions of Sylvester Baxter recorded on it, this hard drive which was now about to be carried around on my back through Sylvester Baxter Riverfront Park. Was there any difference between this half-serious bit of scholarly pilgrimage and a fan who dresses up as Han Solo to eagerly meet Harrison Ford at a Star Wars convention? I was beginning to worry that there wasn't.
The park, it turned out, was a pleasant-enough bit of contemporary riverfront reclamation, hardly twenty meters across and still looking a bit like a real estate marketer's rendering in its barely-used newness. I hadn't been able to find any clues as to why the DCR had chosen Baxter as the namesake of the new park, and I didn't know if I'd find any trace of a memorial there. Walking up and down along the banks of the sluggish, cold Mystic, I found plenty of eerily clean trash cans, but no mention of Baxter, no statue of him triumphantly riding a parks commission horse to victory in the chambers of the state legislature's minor conference rooms. Eventually I decided that the park bore the name but few other traces of the Baxter who I'd come to know, in a very strange and distanced way, almost personally.
It is an odd business, immersing yourself in the vanished worlds of people veiled behind the curtains of the past, reading their words and rebuilding their lives, following them throughout from youth to death and trying to reanimate the forces that made them go. As a geographer who is professionally supposed to care about places rather than people, I get even more anxious about the evanescent emotional bond that reaches out like trails of smoke from subject to author, and fear that the deceit of sentimentality fools me into mistaking a long-dead reformer for an intellectual companion-in-arms.
But I reminded myself, walking in this park that bears Sylvester Baxter's name, just downriver from his hometown of Malden, that people and places are bound together—that, after all, is why I came here in the first place. Stephen Daniels and Catherine Nash used the term "lifepaths" in 2004 to describe the structural similarity between a biography and a map, emphasizing the ways in which the two can be overlaid on each other, such that biography and geography together form "a field traversed by the various ways lives are inscribed in time and space, plotted as both story-lines and routeways."2
What better place to remind myself of this than on the shores of Baxter's own Mystic River, its waters sewing together Boston's northern suburbs, and in a park whose very existence was set in motion, at great remove, by the metropolitan system which Baxter so diligently built?
Along the Fellsway, a low cement wall inscribed "Sylvester Baxter Riverfront Park" in simple Helvetica seemed to be the only trace of Baxter I'd find here. Then I noticed, tucked on its back side, an inscription. Here it was: the unassuming memorial to Baxter that I'd been searching for. Next to a bas-relief by Bela Pratt, the DCR glossed Baxter in four terse sentences, emphasizing his role in obtaining the "critical open spaces of the metropolitan region."
Well, what was I to do—lay down flowers? I snapped a picture on my low-quality phone, smiled to myself, and headed back to the Orange Line. It had been a funny sort of pilgrimage, and I felt a bit foolish now that it had been consummated. I would have to go back to the cold pen of the historian, and take up once again the businesslike work of transforming the raw material of Baxter's words into the consumable product of chapters and journal articles, appropriately preserved in the lifeless Perspex embalming made from references and cool analysis. But for just a moment, I allowed myself to feel the crack which had opened in the centuries, large enough only to let pass the faintest recognition of another human whose thoughts have now shaded into my own, and to indulge in a kind of remembering flavored by the salt of imagination.

M got 22 years with 15 years non-parole. Doesn't seem quite enough for the taking of another life, though what is adequate punishment - I have no idea. God knows how J will handle the sentencing. I'm bracing for the storm.
**HUGS**, honey. Huge, big **HUGS**!
Also sorry for lack of feedback and responses to new chapters/e-mails - sort of in a non-feedback funk at the moment. I promise I will do better in the future :-).
Don't be worrying about replies and stuff. I just wanted to make sure that you had realised that you were the pile of goo in question, and I'm not sure I'd have bothered if I'd seen the later post first. You and J are what's important now. Take care of each other and just be aware that when an electronic hug or a listening ear might help, I'll be around.
On the other hand, M's already misspent his youth, and 15 years behind bars will mean his young adulthood is gone too. Not his whole life, but a whole lot of it.
Hugs to you and of course to J.
I think the worst part is that he has shown no remorse whatsoever - even the judge commented on it. Guess he's got time to reconsider that point of view.
I feel I'm in a bit of a funky fog at the moment - even went to class this morning even though it's reading week - d'oh!!
That is awful that he has expressed no remorse. I think it must be much harder for the victim's family to have any sense of closure. It all sounds so hard to experience.
Sorry to hear you are in a funky fog at the moment. I feel like the wind here is blowing my brains out of my ears. That's my excuse for showing up late/not at all.
Huh? I missed something here, didn't I? And in other news...Brogden? Gahhhhh, we shame ourselves and commit suicide? I thought politicians were meant to be strong. They're just weak little twerps.
Huh? I missed something here, didn't I?
Long convoluted story for recent flisters. Shortish version - a friend of my son's disappeared in 2000. During Missing Person's Week in 2003 a 15 yr old boy came forward and admitted to participating in his murder with another boy - this boy was 17 and the main protagonist. The body was recovered, and J and his friends have been dealing with it ever since. The two boys involved were also friends of my son and his group of friends - it's been very hard on everyone involved.
Brogden - I have no words.
Did the judge saying anything of interest? I hope J handles it OK and I'm thinking of you all. Hope it starts to put some closure on things for people affected.
Did the judge saying anything of interest?
Only that since M showed no sign of remorse, he would serve a 15 yr non-parole period.
Hope it starts to put some closure on things for people affected.
That's what I'm hoping for, too.

Last week pundits put a spotlight on children. They talked about everything from hungry kids in America to child brides and female genital mutilation around the globe. These are tough issues, but they can be quantified, and where there's hard data, PunditFact can separate the wheat from the chaff.
Child hunger in the United States
On child hunger, the New York Post ran an op-ed that accused the group Feeding America of lying in its public service announcements. Feeding America is a large nonprofit that raises money and secures food donations for about 200 food banks nationwide. According to the op-ed writer, William Benson Huber, Feeding America was telling the public that "one in five kids is fighting starvation daily." The ads, writes Huber, "inform us of a horror we'd otherwise think impossible: America has so failed its children that 17 million - one in five - don't have enough to eat. Except that, enjoyable as all this self-loathing might seem, it's simply a fairy tale."
But Huber's accusation rested on a false premise. We could find no evidence that Feeding America ever said children are starving, and Huber acknowledged that he was using his own words. Huber said he did that based on a line he heard in a Feeding America PSA, "People say I'm a pretty good kid. Why, in a country as rich as America, should I have to go to bed hungry?"
"The words they use about going to bed hungry seems to me to be starving," Huber said.
But Feeding America denied it ever said that kids go to bed hungry, and Huber was unable to provide evidence of that either.
That said, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, only 1 percent of children went hungry last year because their families didn't have the money to buy more food. For about 12 percent of children, there wasn't enough money to buy a balanced meal.
The experts we talked to said hunger in America is complicated because most often, the biggest problem isn't a lack of calories, but a lack of food with the nutrition kids need.
Huber's claim rates Pants on Fire.
Emma Watson, star of the Harry Potter films, gave a speech at the United Nations that called out to men to join the struggle for equal treatment of women. Watson spoke of many disadvantages women face, from less education to less pay. Then, at the very end of her speech, Watson said that if nothing is done, "15.5 million girls will be married in the next 16 years as children."
Anyone who marries under the age of 18 is considered to have married young. We found that Watson used a garbled statistic, and the practice of child marriage is actually far more common than her words would suggest.
According to an analysis from the United Nations Population Fund, current trends would lead to 140 million underage marriages of women by 2020.
The figure Watson used came closest to the number of girls and young women who would marry each year by 2030. However, the Population Fund had an estimate of 15.1 million per year, a bit less than Watson's 15.5 million. Buried in the data is one other important trend: The rate of child marriage is declining. Two World Bank economists showed that it has fallen by about 20 percent in the past 30 years. However, the total number of young women getting married is expected to rise due to a demographic bulge moving through the populations of the countries with the tradition of arranged marriages.
We rated Watson's claim Half True.
'A central African problem'
Comedian Bill Maher ignited a debate when he highlighted two Muslim countries, Egypt and Somalia, where female genital mutilation takes place at very high rates. The next day, religion professor Reza Aslan shot back on CNN that the practice has little to do with Islam and more to do with traditions rooted primarily in a band of nations that stretches across the center of Africa.
"It's a central African problem," Aslan said. "Eritrea has almost 90 percent female genital mutilation. It's a Christian country. Ethiopia has 75 percent female genital mutilation. It's a Christian country."
We wanted to see which factor, religion or location, played a larger role.
Female genital mutilation refers to procedures that remove, in part or in whole, external genitalia for a non-medical reason. International groups such as the World Health Organization, UNICEF and Human Rights Watch condemn the practice. The procedure is usually done on young girls.
We found that seven of the top eight countries with very high rates of female circumcision are majority Muslim, including the "almost universal" levels in Somalia, Egypt, Guinea and Djibouti. But Eritrea is No. 5 among countries with high prevalence at 89 percent, and it is home to more Christians than Muslims. Ethiopia, which is 63 percent Christian and 34 percent Muslim, has a moderately high rate of 74 percent, making it No. 11 on the list. So the countries in which female genital cutting is a practice are mostly Muslim, but they are not exclusively Muslim. Of the 29 countries tracked by UNICEF, 14 are home to more Christians than Muslims.
Experts say the practice stems from social pressure to conform to traditions passed down for centuries - one that predates not just Islam but also Judaism and Christianity. UNICEF considers female genital mutilation a global problem not limited to central Africa as the practice also exists in Asia, Europe and North America.
Aslan's claim rates Mostly True.

A Taste of the World to Come
The soul of every Jew has access to the Hereafter.
From Shenei Luchot HaBrit by Rabbi Isaiah Horowitz
[The Shelah comments on a central Jewish prayer, the Shema, found in this week's Torah portion. Ed.]
I have found amongst the various writings of the Arizal that he describes the differences in the levels of the Hereafter as follows: "Know that the righteous enters into a marriage (union) both in this world and after his death. Every tzadik does so in accordance with his individual spiritual powers. There are also tzadikim, such as Benyahu ben Yehoyada (King David's chief body-guard, as mentioned in Samuel II, chapter 23), who enter into a union (embracing the Hereafter) in this world.
Some enter into a union with the Celestial partner, i.e. Abba and Imma, already while in this world, since in those regions unions can be consecrated only through what we know as martyrdom by glorifying the name of G‑d. An example of this kind of union (zivug) with ones partner in the Hereafter, were the Ten Martyrs tortured to death by the Romans including Rabbi Akiva. The same rule applies during any period Jews suffer religious persecution and defiantly go to their death as Jews. When the Holy Temple was standing, G‑d's majesty consisted of twenty-four letters…
When we recite the Shema prayer we experience a faint echo of such an affinity to the Hereafter. The name of Benyahu ben Yehoyada also alludes to the emanation of bina [and the divine names] yud-hei-vav and yud-hei above. This is the deeper meaning of Benyahu being described in Samuel II (23:20) as "ben ish chai", literally "son of the [aspect of] the living man", i.e. someone who had established his claim to life in the Hereafter. Benyahu is reported as having killed the lion (in Hebrew "ha'ari"), the numerical value of which is 216, equal to three times the fully spelled Ineffable Name (72 or Ab). The prophet describes this encounter with the lion as having occurred on "Day of the Snow", which has its own mystical dimension.
When our Sages say in Talmud, "Each Jew has a part in the World to Come", (Sanhedrin 90) they mean that the soul of every Jew has access to the Hereafter. When the sages use the expression that someone is "invited", they refer to the future when the light of the moon will become as brilliant as the light of the sun. This is the future we have in mind when we add to the words of the Shema Yisrael the twenty-four letters (in Hebrew) of the formula, "May the Majesty of His glorious kingdom be blessed forever".
[The number twenty-four is written in Hebrew as the letters kaf (= 20) dalet (= 4).]
Nowadays, when we are in exile, the twenty-four in that formula are reversed i.e. have become "dach" [spelled "dalet-kaf", as opposed to the normal way of describing the number twenty-four, "kaf-dalet"]. This is the mystical dimension of the verse "Let not the downtrodden (in Hebrew, "dach") turn away disappointed." (Psalms 74:21)
When the Holy Temple was standing, G‑d's majesty consisted of 24 letters; when it will be rebuilt it will again consist of 24 letters. This is what is meant in the verse "I shall make your battlements of rubies [in Hebrew, "kadkod ", which can be understood as meaning 'twice 24']." (Isaiah 54:12) ...the Jewish people, whose fate is compared to the fate of the moon
During King Solomon's reign the moon was considered as having reached its zenith, i.e. in the history of the Jewish people, whose fate is compared to the fate of the moon. This is what is alluded to by the twenty-four letters in the formula we recite in the Shema, when we express our absolute faith in this future display of G‑d's majesty. This number twenty-four equals one third of the possible amount of light. In the messianic future the full extent of the light, i.e. the other two thirds, alluded to in Isaiah (54:12) as "kadkod" (= 48) will be revealed. When combining the three times 24 we have the number 72, i.e. the Ineffable Name spelled fully as words. In other words, G‑d's name will be whole when this light will be displayed in all its power.
[Translated and adapted by Eliyahu Munk.]
Rabbi Isaiah HaLevi Horowitz [5320/1560 - 11 Nissan 5390/1630] served many years as chief rabbi in Frankfurt and then Prague, his birthplace. In 1621 he moved to Israel and became the chief rabbi of Jerusalem. He is best known as the author of Shenei Luchot HaBrit, a work of Scripture commentary and Jewish Law, and is usually referred to as "the SHeLaH", the acronym of its title.
He lived the last years of his life in Tzefat although his burial place is in Tiberias, only a few meters from the tomb of the Rambam. It is a popular pilgrimage site, especially on Erev Rosh Chodesh Sivan, which he himself recommended as a propitious time for saying the special prayer for success in educating one's children that he composed.Eliyahu Munk, the translator, was born in Frankfurt, and emigrated to England as a young man, later moving to Toronto. After retiring from education and moving to Israel in 1978, he began an extraordinary second career as a translator, publishing English versions of the Torah commentaries of Rabbeinu Bechayei, Akeidat Yitzchak, Shelah, Alshich and Ohr Hachaim.

A Tribute To Papa
Sammy James 29th November 2020
It was announced today that former Fulham midfielder and Senegal international Papa Bouba Diop passed away today at the age of 42, Sammy James looks back at his time in SW6.
To most of the world, Papa Bouba Diop is remembered for one goal, the opening strike of the 2002 World Cup as underdogs Senegal beat world champions France by a single goal in South Korea.
Papa Bouba Diop scores the first goal of the 2002 World Cup
Many of that Senegal squad went on to become household names, but Papa Bouba Diop always stuck in your mind given the significance of that goal. Personally speaking, that 2002 World Cup was my halcyon tournament, the one that I remembered fully, and the first one that I completely immersed myself into. Therefore, when Fulham signed him two years later from RC Lens, it was an extremely exciting coup.
A towering presence in midfield, Diop slotted straight into Chris Coleman's side, but during Fulham's sixth game of the season, he received a red card during the infamous "battle of the Hawthorns" for shoving over Neil Clement. It was not long after though that Papa produced two more thumps that were far more memorable.
Bouba Diop's opening goal was probably his best. 57 minutes into the first SW6 derby back at Craven Cottage, the ball fell from the sky. Underneath its flight was Diop, who arrowed a ferocious volley straight past Petr Cech. Even though Fulham went on to lose the game 4-1, it was one of those goals that was so special, it made the result far less painful.
However, the goal that really placed "The Wardrobe" into Fulham folklore came exactly one month later. Fulham were trailing Manchester United by a single goal for the majority of a Monday night match under the lights by the river. Chris Coleman's side had worked their way back into the game, but without any real conviction. Just as the game looked to be slipping away, Mark Pembridge tee'd up Papa Bouba, who leathered the ball (whilst slipping) in off the post past Roy Carroll and into the net at the Hammersmith End.
Diop's thunderbolt against Manchester United
Utter pandemonium ensued, the Chelsea goal may have been the more technically pleasing, but this goal was everything football is about. The epitome of why you can never relax on a one goal lead, and how the result of a game can change in an instant. Once he'd scored, Diop was in a glorious blur and looked like he didn't really know what to do, so he ran, and ran, and ran before ending up in front of the Cottage where he performed a slightly underwhelming dance. None of us minded though, the quality of the goal more than made up for it.
Diop's first season was probably his best for Fulham, he went on to score four more goals, and played the vast majority of games. The final match of the season even saw him score a wonderful free-kick against Norwich. He was also chosen by Opta as Fulham's player of the season.
He was a fans favourite, but also was a star with his fellow staff and players. Chris Coleman has said about how he was one of his favourite ever players to work with. Whilst Mark Maunders, player liaison officer at FFC, said he was "a beautiful person, Bouba had a smile that would energise you for the day".
He was clearly a character off the pitch too, with his former teammates Gabriel Zakuani and Elliot Omosuzi recalling these particular amusing stories..
I remember him turning up at a golf club wearing bootcut jeans and timberland boots and they sent us all home 😂😂😂
— Elliot omozusi (@EOmozusi) November 29, 2020
I believe it was that smile and that energy that really endeared him to Fulham fans. Yes, the goals and the performances were memorable, but when watching Papa, you could just see how much he enjoyed playing football.
Injuries meant that he was never able to quite re-live the highs of his opening season for Fulham, and even though he signed a long-term contract until 2009, in the summer of 2007 he was permitted to move to Portsmouth, becoming a key cog in their FA Cup triumph of 2008.
For me, Papa Bouba Diop was one of my first ever Fulham heroes, somebody who for me is up there with the likes of Hangeland and Boa Morte in embodying everything that it means to be a FFC player. 42 is no age, and thoughts are with everyone who knew him and loved him.
Papa, rest in peace.

Dowse: transparent and responsible local networks
Networks in the age of the Internet of Things will be full of people's devices with access to their private, common and public information. Dowse makes people conscious about what happens in the network space around them.
Networked devices with access to all kinds of private informations can talk to each other without humans even asking and without making such interactions manifest. Such a situation raises issues that are not just technical, but socio-political, about the responsibility for connections that happen without human consent, within local networks and towards the outside, to and from the Internet. The risks of unconscious abuse or exploitation of information asymmetry is growing tremendously. As things initiate the networked context of users, we are making a major leap towards a world that provides us with contexts that we may not want at all. Getting some insights on such situations is crucial for societies at large.
Dowse is a free and open source transparent proxy facilitating the awareness of in-going and out-going connections from and to a local area network. By replacing the outdated proprietary ISP 'gateway' with an open and user-visible device, Dowse introduces a malleable communications hub to the language of the small network. The entrance or departure of a device from the local Internet of Things ecosystem is accompanied by audiovisual interactive aspects and such interactions extend to the new presence or absence of a communications channel, for example between an electrical meter, a corporate cloud, a kids tablet or a journalist mobile phone.
First deliverables:
– Usable prototype base for LEAN UX development
– Partner network consolidation (both public and private)
Anyone running a local area network (LAN) at home or at an office can benefit from Dowse. In a highly connected home environment, Dowse will provide an easy to use interface for the inhabitants will be conscious about the data flows going in and out of their private LAN, being prompted to deal with new devices when they appear: from a new electricity meter to a mobile phone or computer. Dowse also enhances the privacy of people surfing the Internet in cases where confidentiality and integrity of research conducted from an office premise or at home is important. At last, Dowse can enable responsible parents to deal with the freedom of their kids to browse the Internet still avoiding aggressions by malware, phishing and and other kind of intrusions into their experience.
Waag Society (NL) is an interdisciplinary non-profit media lab researching and developing new technology. Dyne.org is a non-profit committed to research and development of free and open source software: since its birth in 2000 several radio makers, humanitarian organisations, artists, medics, activists and educators employed and redistributed its software worldwide and free of charge.
