Apple fixing iMessage flaw that lets hackers steal photos
Researchers discovered the hole, but today's release of iOS 9.3 will close it.

Apple has put a lot of work into making its phones hard to crack, much to the consternation of US law enforcement officials. It's still not perfect, however, as researchers from John Hopkins University have discovered a flaw that lets attackers intercept and decrypt video and images sent on iMessage. The exploit only works on versions prior to iOS 9, because Apple partially fixed the problem in that version. However, John Hopkins professor Matthew D. Green told the Washington Post that a modified exploit could possibly be developed for iOS 9 versions, provided hackers have skills of a "nation state."
The hack is pretty simple. The team first created software that emulates an Apple server in order to intercept files. iMessage photos and video only use 64-bit encryption and don't lock out invaders after multiple attempts to decrypt. That allowed the researchers to "brute force" video and image files and eventually decrypt them.
The iMessage flaw has nothing to do with the current dispute between the FBI and Apple, because the feds want to decrypt the San Bernardino shooter's entire phone, not just the messages.
The iMessage flaw has nothing to do with the current dispute between the FBI and Apple, because the feds want to decrypt the San Bernardino shooter's entire phone, not just the messages. However, last year Baltimore prosecutors asked Apple to decrypt iMessages from a suspect's phone. At the time, the company said that cracking them would be expensive and harmful to security, so prosecutors eventually dropped the request. However, Green told the Post that government experts could have easily found the flaw, too. "If you put resources into it, you will come across something like this."
Luckily, a fix is coming very soon. Apple has completely closed the hole in iOS 9.3, which is due to be released as part of Apple's big "loop you in" event later today. In a statement, Apple said "we appreciate the team of researchers that identified this bug and brought it to our attention ... security requires constant dedication and we're grateful to have a community of developers and researchers who help us stay ahead." Suffice to say, iOS users should update as soon as possible, especially if you use iMessage a lot.

ASeTTS Clients are people living in WA who were tortured or traumatised in their country of origin or whilst fleeing that country. It is estimated that state sanctioned violence occurs in over 100 countries. This experience is not confined to adults, with many child and adolescent refugees having witnessed horrific events and suffered the effects of dislocation and deprivation. Fear does not end with arrival in a safe country.
Trauma has far reaching effects – like an earthquake, it can shake the very foundations of our client's lives. The impact can disrupt or damage the relationships that individuals have established with partners, parents, children, family and friends. It can change the way clients feel about themselves and others. In many cases, traumatic events can be internalised as ongoing anxiety and accompanied by unresolved grief and depression. For some survivors, assumptions that are central to human existence, such as trust, have been challenged by their experiences.
In addition to the above, a new arrival under the humanitarian program is faced with the daunting task of settling in a new country and dealing with the challenges of learning a new language, adapting to a new culture, arranging housing, employment and children's schooling often without a support network of family and friends.

Q: Protect Magento Directories I am just about to put a Magento site live and wondered what the best method is to protecting Magento's directories.
At the moment I have simply stuck in the following into my htaccess
RewriteRule ^(var) - [F,L]

This only protects the /var folder should I protect any others and is this the best way?

A: By default magento protects the folders that need protecting.
For example in the var folder has its own .htaccess file with this content.
Order deny,allow
Deny from all

So does the media/customer folder.
and there may be others.
So unless you deleted something there is no need to take special precautions for protecting folders.

On opening night, Mario Schröder's new production of Swan Lake got a well deserved standing ovation. He takes tradition and turns it on its head.
The tension between what is expected of us and what we can deliver whilst remaining true to ourselves is very much a reflection of our times.
It's every dancer's dream to dance the lead in Swan Lake. It's a physical challenge, especially the part where you have to do 32 fouettes (a fast whipping turn on one foot) in a row. The role goes at the top of every CV and is the climax of every reel. With a legacy like that, is it a sin to modernise it?
It's hard to believe that when Swan Lake premiered in Moscow 1877, it was not well received.
So, basically, a lot of noisy meh.
At the time, there was specialist music for ballet. It was light and decorative. At first Tchaikovsky thought it vapid and valueless. Then, in preparation for a new commission from Begichev, he began to study the works of the Italian Cesare Pugni and the Austrian Ludwig Minkus.
He was dazzled by the array of engagingly charming combinations. Inspired, he completed Swan Lake in a little over a year. This was possible through revising and incorporating some previously written pieces.
Of course Tchaikovsky put his own spin on the music.
He and Reisinger had sketched out the basic requirements in advance. However, when the score was delivered, Reisinger deemed several pieces undanceable. Tchaikovsky refused to remove them. This was definitely a diva moment. Prior to this, the dancers were the divas. Now, they were in danger of the music becoming all too noticeable.
The original staging of Swan Lake had 41 performances over six years, and then kind of petered out. Talks were in progress to revive the piece when Tchaikovsky died in 1893. This no doubt was a catalyst in realising the project in 1895. At this time, Italian composer Drigo updated the score. This is the version most use today.
After the premiere of Mario Schröder's Swan Lake, I talked to a Russian girl.
She didn't understand why Germans have to revise Russian classics. She thought Tchaikovsky would have been appalled, or at least she was appalled in his absence. She added that it was especially inappropriate because he was gay.
I found this interesting because, during the break, I had talked to Italian choreographer Alessio Trevisani, who was excited about the work, seeing it as a lesbian homage.
I asked myself what Tchaikovsky would think in 2018. Of course, there is no way to know for sure. In his time, he had to stay in the closet. To this day there are still more than 70 countries where it is illegal to be homosexual, several of which carry the penalty of death.
In 2013, the Russian Cultural Minister denied Tchaikovsky's homosexuality. There may no longer be a law prohibiting LBGTQ in Russia, but there are also no laws protecting them. Gay bashing is not uncommon, and homosexuality was classed as a mental illness until 1999.
Clearly, not everyone feels all things should be political.
Recently there was a comment on our Facebook wall when we shared a BBC video about the recent Eurovision Song Contest winner, "Toy" (written about the #MeToo movement).
Based on Tchaikovsky's update on the typical music composed for ballets of his time, I'd say he was in the "modernise it" camp. I would also like to think he'd have been much more likely to have escaped his depression were he able to live his life out in the open. I wonder if he'd be happy with the Eurovision winner. Perhaps he'd have even thrown a very festive Eurovision party… or not. Maybe that's taking his new found appreciation for dance music too far.
Now, let's take a look at what Schröder has so eloquently done with Swan Lake.
If you are gay, you can see it as a gay anthem. If you are a woman, you can see it as a snub to patriarchy. If you are an artist, you can see it as an artistic expression. If you are a POC ("person of color"), you can see it as challenging white privilege. If you are a teen, you can see it as fighting against the parental units. If you are oppressed by those in power, you can see it as a voice for the people.
It doesn't matter who you are and who they are. This is the beauty of Mario Schröder's Swan Lake. It does not judge or slap you in the face. It talks of the struggle to be who you are in the environment in which you find yourself. And it empowers by giving you the power of interpretation.
It does this without losing sight of the original Swan Lake. What you may see as a diversion to tradition is that the swans are expertly danced by the elegant Anna Jo and the explosive Laura Costa Chaud. Yes, two people rather than one, dancing two sides of one character.
It is thought that the original version had two dancers. I love that he did this. It speaks to the fact that we are not fighting some evil within ourselves. We are fighting the evil that is outside ourselves.
Regardless of how we are raised, we are who we are. We have the right to evolve, be it good or bad. We are multi-dimensional human beings with desires that can change depending on our circumstances. As long as it's safe, sane and consensual, there is nothing that needs to be conversion therapied out of us.
Another area that hearkens to the original can be found in the history of ballet. In this period, choreography was based on the abilities of the dancers. The original swan, Anna Sobeshchanskaya, really didn't like the choreography, and a new pas de deux was choreographed to another composer's music. Time for another Tchaikovsky diva moment, and rightly so! He said he, and he alone, was responsible for the music. Drama, drama, drama.
In today's ballet world, dancers are the medium through which choreographers express themselves. A good choreographer does pay attention to the properties of their medium. Mario Schröder is one such example.
In his Swan Lake, the prince is now a princess (and lead character), in a choreographic work that seems like it was custom made for Urania Lobo Garcia. From what I've seen since I've been covering the Leipzig Ballet, she is the best dancer to convey all the emotions and styles of dance needed to show the complicated nature of the princess in her gilded cage. Simply superb!
One part of the performance disturbed me.
And I hope it disturbed the entire audience. At one point, the princess's parents bring her suitors in an effort to marry her off into society. They are horrible stereotypical portrayals of Russians (gold dresses, vodka), Spaniards and Italians. At first, I couldn't see past my emotional response. I was huffing and puffing. But it made me think and I saw that it wasn't a statement in support of these stereotypes, but one exposing them.
In a city where the AFD got way too many votes, we need to be able to look at people as individuals. Again, en pointe for the overall message of the performance and our times.
An important character is that of gender bending Benno, perfectly danced by Lou Thabart.
This character sticks by the princess no matter what. He is her teacher, confidante and deliverer. Her parents despise him, and she is not quite sure what to do with her feelings for him. She loves and loathes him. He helps her find her inner being, even though that being goes against everything she has been brought up to believe in.
And then there's the set! OMG!
A word of caution: skip the cheap seats in the balcony and pay to be on the main floor. I saw it from both perspectives. It's pretty from above, but you miss the choreography. The principal dancers and the rest of Leipzig Ballet do this so well, that you need to see every minute of it! And the set is a totally different set from downstairs. It is incredibly well done.
They are swans on a lake. What could be more appropriate than sychronised swimming? Thank you for having the courage to do something so beautiful and quirky. I don't want to give too much away… but the swan tails. And and and.
Just go! You can see it over and over again and find new moments each time.
It's pretty and it's dark, and, most of all, it's real. And yes, there are moments where Tchaikovsky gets to diva (especially for the ending).
Thank you, Mario Schröder, for holding a mirror up to our times and allowing us to see ourselves with a touch of humour. And most of all, thank you for allowing us to come to our own conclusions.

OSHA to Arizona and other states: Protect workers from COVID or forfeit authority
More by Alex Brown
Posted Oct 22, 2021, 11:50 am
Alex Brown Stateline
In a rare move, federal labor officials have threatened to take over three states' workplace safety programs because they failed to adopt emergency COVID-19 rules to protect health care workers.
That admonition, labor advocates say, also serves as a thinly veiled warning that resisting the forthcoming federal vaccine mandate for most health care workers and employees at large companies likewise could cost states their regulatory power over workplace safety.
"This is definitely an effort to send a message that [the Occupational Safety and Health Administration] is going to take any defiance of the next standard very seriously," said Jordan Barab, who served as OSHA's deputy assistant secretary of labor during the Obama administration and now writes a blog about workplace safety issues.
Earlier this month, OSHA sent the White House a proposed rule that would require companies with 100 or more employees to mandate vaccination or regular testing. President Joe Biden has called for an expedited rulemaking process, and some labor experts think the agency could publish the new rule any day. The mandate would take effect immediately.
OSHA's crackdown on Arizona, South Carolina and Utah is based on the agency's June emergency standard for health care workers that included requirements for physical distancing, cleaning, physical barriers, personal protective equipment, ventilation and other protections. Most states fell under that emergency rule automatically, but 21 states maintain their own workplace safety agencies for private sector employers. Those states must meet or exceed OSHA standards.
The feds say Arizona, South Carolina and Utah have failed the "at least as effective" test by refusing to match their standards to the new federal rule.
"OSHA has worked in good faith to help these three state plans come into compliance," said Jim Frederick, the agency's acting director, on a conference call with reporters. "But their continued refusal is a failure to maintain their state plan commitment to thousands of workers in their state."
The agency had required states to comply with the June standard within 30 days. While some have taken longer, OSHA ultimately singled out the trio based on their active resistance rather than bureaucratic hang-ups.

Trevor Laky, legislative affairs chief with the Industrial Commission of Arizona, the state agency that oversees health and safety laws, said Arizona has made efforts to comply, but that officials are committed to putting the new standards through a full rulemaking process with public comment. That procedure takes much longer than the emergency rule action taken by OSHA.
"Our opinion that good public policy requires good public input is pretty steadfast," Laky said. He did not say whether the agency will change course in response to the threat from OSHA to revoke its power.
But labor advocates say the public input argument is simply a delay tactic.
"They're dragging it out to not comply," said Rebecca Reindel, director of occupational safety and health for the AFL-CIO, a national federation of unions. "Arizona is pretending to be clueless here, but they've known what their obligations are. The whole point is to get these protections in place for people immediately."
Worker advocates in Arizona say state officials have been unresponsive to safety concerns throughout the pandemic, simply ignoring some complaints. Workers would like to see the state agency take on a stronger role, said Shefali Milczarek-Desai, an assistant law professor at the University of Arizona who directs the school's Workers' Rights Clinic, which provides free legal aid to low-wage workers. Failing that, labor advocates say an OSHA takeover might be the best option for workers.
"Without seeing what the federal agency is capable of doing, it's hard to predict, but at this point anything would be better than what the Industrial Commission is doing, which is virtually nothing," said Milczarek-Desai.
Earlier this month, National Nurses United, a union and professional organization, filed a complaint with federal OSHA that accused Arizona of neglecting its responsibility to meet the national standard.
"There are really egregious health and safety issues in Arizona that wouldn't be happening if the [OSHA] standard was being enforced," said Jane Thomason, the group's lead industrial hygienist. "The Industrial Commission has made it very clear they don't think this is an emergency situation anymore, and they have very little interest in acting promptly."
OSHA has never taken away a state's power to regulate its workplaces, according to Barab, the former OSHA official.
"This is pretty rare," Barab said. "States really have to openly defy a clear mandate for OSHA to take action."

In 2014, OSHA threatened to take oversight of Arizona's construction industry after the state failed to comply with fall protection rules for workers on ladders, roofs and scaffolds. The state ultimately moved to match the federal standard.
"They resisted until the last moment and then conceded," Barab said.
In 2012, Hawaii voluntarily gave up its regulatory authority due to budget and staffing issues, but regained oversight in 2017 as part of a new agreement with OSHA.
Earlier this month, Utah Labor Commissioner Jaceson Maughan told state lawmakers that his agency was planning to stall on the coronavirus rules until the federal health care rule expired in December. He said the risk of OSHA reprisal was low, given the lengthy process preceding threats issued in the past.
"It's doubtful OSHA would start the process to invalidate a state plan," he said at a legislative committee meeting. "I think there would be multiple letters, multiple requests, a demand that it's adopted and then some more discussions."
The safety standard fight could preview a similar battle over a federal vaccine requirement.
Twenty-four state attorneys general, all Republicans, have pledged to wage a legal battle against the vaccine mandate that Biden has directed OSHA to draft. Eight of them hail from states that retain workplace safety authority—Alaska, Arizona, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming.
Barab said he would not be surprised to see half a dozen states openly resist the vaccine rule by delaying or refusing adoption of the federal standard.
Such pushback would set up a major clash between those states and federal regulators. OSHA offered Stateline background information about its announcement but did not respond to a question about the vaccine mandate.
In South Carolina, Republican Gov. Henry McMaster called OSHA's threat a "preemptive strike" to assert federal power ahead of the vaccine mandate. He vowed a legal battle to challenge the takeover.
But regulators in other Republican states are not as eager to pick a fight with the feds. In Tennessee, state lawmakers this week directed the Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration to defy OSHA's emergency mandate for health care workers. But state regulators rejected that demand, Nashville public radio station WPLN reported.
"It is increasingly important that TN-OSHA remain in full standing as a state plan without inviting additional federal oversight, federal interpretation and federal enforcement of safety and health standards in Tennessee," Labor Commissioner Jeff McCord said in a letter to state lawmakers.
Labor experts say they have little idea whether some states are willing to sacrifice their regulatory autonomy to take an ideological stand on vaccines. But it's likely the business community would have qualms about such a move.
In many states that hold workplace safety authority, business leaders prefer that status over federal enforcement.
"The business community thinks they have a much better opportunity to influence enforcement decisions by lobbying at the state level than they would if they were lobbying at the federal level," Barab said. "In the instances where we've threatened that status, the state was defiant until the business community swooped in and said, 'No way, we don't want the feds enforcing the law.'"
Garrick Taylor, executive vice president for the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said business leaders in the state do not want to see a federal takeover.
"It's been a long-standing principle that state primacy and oversight is preferable to federal management of these issues," he said. "The Industrial Commission of Arizona and its Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health have been receptive to the needs of job creators while effectively carrying out their mission."
While Taylor expressed concern about federal intervention, he did not call on state officials to comply with the new standard. Instead, he called the dispute a case of the feds trying to "exert muscle" over states, and pointed to Republican Gov. Doug Ducey's pledge that "we won't allow it without a fight."
Milczarek-Desai, the worker safety advocate, said the chamber's position is misguided.
"The reason they want the state in charge is because they want little to no enforcement, but that's bad for business," she said. "But when people come to work sick, it costs businesses, it creates more sick workers. Reasonable employers understand this."
Labor advocates applauded the agency for its crackdown on states that have resisted COVID-19 safety rules. But they warned that OSHA also needs to ensure states that have accepted those rules are enforcing them.
"If you have states adopting a paper tiger and not enforcing the standard, that's problematic too," said Reindel, the AFL-CIO advocate. "If they're not following through, why should workers in one state have fewer protections than workers in a neighboring state?"

Cambodia's Senior Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation H.E. Prak Sokhonn (L, pic. 1) shakes hands with visiting Chinese Foreign Minister H.E. Wang Yi, prior to their official talks at the ministry in Phnom Penh, this morning.


Vampyr was little more than a t-shirt with a printed title being given out last E3, or at least that was the most of what was shown then. So it was great to see how Remember Me and Life is Strange's DONTNOD's newest game is shaping up to, with actual gameplay.
It's a third person adventure game in the molds of Mass Effect, but with much faster combat, taking place in the dangerous streets of early 19th century London, a city riddled by the Spanish flu, poverty and of course, vampires.
The hands-off demo started out at a funeral of a girl, seemingly buried after dying under mysterious circumstances. Jonathan Reid, former surgeon turned vampire, watches from afar, hiding in the shadows, before approaching the casket and questioning his life choices and eventual fate.
Things aren't just hinged on drama, though, placing a heavy load on fighting against enemies such as vampire hunters, members of an ancient order hell bent on eliminating the fanged treat from the face of the earth. From watching the pre-alpha demo being shown, the combat seemed very fluid, making use of the fiction in order to infuse some vampiric excuses for some ridiculous moves, like turning into mist in between combos and such.
The demo went on to show many of the game's more distinctive features, sure as the moral implications of harvesting blood off of innocents, with the trade between being good or being powerful, with Reid's internal conflict with his dying humanity. Blood not only seems to boost Reid's powers, but is also used as currency for items and such. Then again, some people seem like more trouble than they're worth alive, so in one particular case, the dev handling the demo picked one civilian who just happens to be a racketeer with a secret which he happened to stumble across during exploration. So by using mesmerize, one of Jonathan's vampiric powers, he was able to lure his victim to a secluded place, where he fed upon, closing the demo off.
The presentation was short, but the little we were shown showed great promise. It makes the wait til next year even harder. With no precise date of release, DONTNOD was pretty adamant we should be seeing Vampyr hit stores sometime in 2017.

Genetic Overlap Seen in Five Mental Disorders
Five major mental disorders share common inherited genetic variations, a new study finds. The overlap is highest between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (15 percent), moderate between bipolar disorder and depression and between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression (about 10 percent), and lowest between schizophrenia and autism (3 percent).
Overall, common genetic variations accounted for 17 percent to 28 percent of risk for the five mental disorders, according to the study published in the Aug. 11 issue of the journal Nature Genetics, which the researchers say is the largest genome-wide study of its kind.
The project involved more than 300 scientists at 80 research centers in 20 countries and was supported by the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
The investigators analyzed the genomes of several thousand people with the five mental disorders and people without the disorders.
"Since our study only looked at common gene variants, the total genetic overlap between the disorders is likely higher," study co-leader Naomi Wray, of the University of Queensland in Australia, said in an NIMH news release. "Shared variants with smaller effects, rare variants, mutations, duplications, deletions, and gene-environment interactions also contribute to these illnesses."
The genetic overlap between schizophrenia and depression could prove important in terms of research and diagnosing patients, according to the study authors. They expected to see more overlap between ADHD and autism, but said the moderate overlap between schizophrenia and autism is consistent with emerging evidence.
"Such evidence quantifying shared genetic risk factors among traditional psychiatric diagnoses will help us move toward classification that will be more faithful to nature," said Bruce Cuthbert, director of the NIMH's adult translational research and treatment development division. Cuthbert is also the coordinator of an NIMH project that is working to develop a mental disorders classification system for research based more on underlying causes.

High Demand for CMU Graduates
Graduates of the Caribbean Maritime University (CMU) are highly sought after by international shipping interests to man their vessels. In an interview with JIS News, Director General of the
Maritime Authority of Jamaica, Rear Admiral Peter Brady, said that approximately 95 per cent of the crews that are provided in Jamaica for international shipping lines are CMU graduates.
Admiral Brady made specific reference to Exmarr, a shipping line that specialises in the carriage of liquefied natural gas (LNG), indicating that they have made their preference for CMU-trained personnel clear through their recruitment drive.
"The company has looked at the quality of the seafarers that the CMU produces. They have found them to be very professional and they have, over the last three to five years, recruited up to about 120 male and female graduates," he noted.
"They are a very mature-minded company, and all of the reports that come from Exmar point to the excellent performance of the Jamaican cadets and the seafarers that they have employed, and they are beginning now to outfit their ships with a large number of Jamaicans, because of their reliability and their professionalism," he added.
According to the Director General, it has been a success story for Jamaica, and it also opens up the pathway for promotion to the highest levels (Captain and Chief Engineer) in that company, which is European.
"That bodes very well for Jamaica, because it shows that we are as good as any in this world of shipping," he said. Admiral Brady explained that Jamaica, through its geographical location, is a strategic place for ships that trade on the north south and east west shipping lanes.
He said crewing is just one of a number of auxiliary services that Jamaica provides for ships going to their various ports of call in the hemisphere. These include ship repair and bunkering.
The Director General pointed out that Jamaica's location has given rise to the provision of these services to facilitate ships that require a one-stop-shop facility at a port and that this in turn makes the port very attractive to vessels that are traversing the hemisphere.

Quo vadis je román polského spisovatele Henryka Sienkiewicze z roku 1895. Děj se odehrává v římském impériu za vlády císaře Nerona. Na pozadí milostného příběhu římského patricije Vinicia a křesťanky Lygie popisuje počátky křesťanství, krutosti ze strany Říma, Neronovu znuděnou zvrhlost, požár Říma atd. Významnou roli hraje také Petronius, Viniciův strýc a Neronův arbiter elegantiarum neboli soudce ve věcech vkusu.

Název románu
Název tohoto díla vychází ze staré křesťanské legendy, která je vylíčena v závěru románu. Svatý Petr je v době Neronova pronásledování křesťanů přesvědčen svými stoupenci, aby odešel z Říma do bezpečí. Cestou potkává Ježíše Krista, který kráčí do města, a Petr se ho překvapeně ptá: "Quo vadis, Domine?" (Kam kráčíš, Pane?), "Když ty opouštíš můj lid, jdu do Říma, aby mě ukřižovali podruhé.", odpovídá mu Ježíš. Poté se Petr obrací nazpět a později umírá na kříži stejně jako jeho Pán. Z pokory však, aby Ježíše nenapodoboval, si Sv. Petr vyprosí, aby jej ukřižovali jinak – hlavou dolů.

Obsah
Vinicius se zamiloval do Lygie, dcery krále Lygů, která je už od mala jako rukojmí v domě vznešené římské rodiny Aulů. Zvyklý, že vše, co chce, dostane, nese velmi těžko Lygiinu nedostupnost. Když o všem poví svému strýci Petroniovi, oblíbenci císaře, dostanou s jeho pomocí Lygii z domu tak, že Petronius přemluví císaře Nerona, aby nechal dívku převézt do svého paláce. Tam se jí má Vinicius dvořit. Na večeři v paláci však opilý Vinicius Lygii prozradí, že zítra si pro ni přijedou jeho otroci, aby Lygii odvezli k němu domů. Ona ale nechce dělat milenku Viniciovi, i když ho miluje. Když Viniciovi sloužící vedou Lygií do jeho domu, přepadnou je neznámí ozbrojenci a Lygii unesou. Jsou to křesťané, u nichž se pak dívka - rovněž křesťanka - skrývá. V té době ještě bylo křesťanství římskými úřady pronásledováno a jeho vyznavači se museli ukrývat v katakombách. Petronius chce Viniciovi pomoct a najme Chilóna, člověka z ulice, aby našel Lygii. Když Chilón Lygii najde, chce ji Vinicius s pomocí jednoho gladiátora unést, ale Lygii přijde na pomoc její osobní sluha, silný barbar Ursus, který gladiátora zabije a Vinicia zraní. Vinicius zjistí, že Lygie je křesťanka a když se mu znovu ztratí, chce se dozvědět o křesťanství. Zprvu si myslí, že ho Lygie nemiluje, protože je zaslíbená Ježíši Kristu, ale postupně se začne o křesťanské učení zajímat a dokáže Lygii chápat.

Jednoho dne nechá znuděný císař Nero zapálit Řím, aby dostal inspiraci pro dokonalou báseň, v níž chce opěvovat hořící Tróju. Když se to dozví Vinicius, spěchá do Říma, kde hledá Lygii. Ta je v bezpečí a Vinicius se nechá pokřtít. Nero se zalekne nespokojenosti lidu a hledá, na koho by svedl vinu za požár. Petroniův úhlavní nepřítel Tigellinus vnukne císaři nápad, že to byli křesťané. Petronius se svou obratnou řečí pokusí císaře přesvědčit, aby to nedělal, ale prohraje a pochopí, že musí zemřít. Začíná zatýkání křesťanů, které prozrazuje udavač Chilón. Lygie je také zatčena, protože ji nesnáší Neronova žárlivá manželka Poppaea.

Křesťané včetně dětí jsou za žhářství odsouzeni k smrti upálením. Chilón se při pohledu na hořící oběti na kříži obrátí ke křesťanství, urazí císaře Nerona a prozradí, že město nechal zapálit sám Nero. Někteří křesťané včetně Ursa a Lygie mají být popraveni v aréně. Ursus přitom vysvobodí Lygii uvázanou na rohy pratura, když zvíře holýma rukama zabije. Stane se miláčkem davu a císař je donucen dát jim milost. Lygie a Vinicius odjíždějí do vyhnanství na venkov. Petronius je donucen k odchodu do svého venkovského sídla, kde má počkat na další rozkazy zatímco Nero se vrací do Říma. Petronius pochopí, že se jedná o rozsudek smrti, uspořádá hostinu, na které se nepokrytě všichni baví, přečte jim dopis, který poslal Neronovi, a ve kterém píše pravdu, a to, co si všichni o Neronovi myslí. Pak se svou milenkou Euniké spáchá sebevraždu. Nakonec v Římě proběhne povstání spojené se státním převratem, Nero je sesazen z trůnu, senátem prohlášen za nepřítele lidu a odsouzen k potupné smrti. Na útěku před povstalci raději sám spáchá sebevraždu.

The oldest project making up the campaign Domeyko & Wagner - Heritage. Its main goal is promoting the figure of Ignacy Domeyko and Polish-Chilean cultural-exchange, for example by jointly producing a full-length feature motion picture. In summer 2015 our team traveled through Poland, Lithuania and Chile to shoot the film. A year later the most popular spots of Paris, the picturesque village of Pasieki and Warsaw (the capital of Poland) also became our movie set.
A short summary of meetings with representatives of various authorities and institutions.
What does Domeyko's family think about the project?
In Chile there's a mine... under the name of Domeyko!
A place at the end of the world, steeped in Polishness.
Liceo Cordovez played an extraordinarly important role in Domeyko's life... but also in our project!
A full-length feature film, telling the story of Ignacy Domeyko from the perspective of two main characters seeking for the treasure. It's not a historical movie - we wanted to show him as a man, who can be everybody's authority.
It's almost impossible to tell by name everyone of the over-50-people-big film crew.
Throughout filming the "Treasure of Domeyko" we had the pleasure to work with an unusual actor!
There are unique historical flashbacks incorporated into the film, which show Domeyko's life through short retrospections.
Materials showing the process of creation of the whole project and film since coming up with the idea. 3 years of production abounded in many amazing events and moments of joy but also some dangers and difficulties.
A series of reports and photo arts related to life and and activity of Ignacy Domeyko and their juxtaposition to present day.
A series of educational materials which goal is to increase the awareness of Chilean geography, climate and culture.
A series of infographics presenting the whole life of Domeyko in an approachable and chronological way.

Living with Michael Jackson é um documentário produzido pela emissora britânica Granada Television, no qual o jornalista Martin Bashir entrevistou o músico americano Michael Jackson. O documentário causou repercussão na mídia, graças às declarações do cantor durante as entrevistas concedidas ao jornalista.

As entrevistas foram feitas no espaço de oito meses, de maio de 2002 a janeiro de 2003. O documentário foi exibido pela primeira vez na ITV, do Reino Unido, (como uma Tonight especial) em 3 de fevereiro de 2003, e nos Estados Unidos três dias mais tarde, na ABC, apresentado por Barbara Walters. No Brasil, foi transmitido em 2003 pela Rede Bandeirantes. No ano da morte do cantor, foi transmitido pela RecordTV, no programa Repórter Record.

Martin Bashir apresentou a proposta de Jackson como uma maneira de mostrar ao mundo a verdade sobre ele. A decisão de Jackson de fazer o documentário foi tomada por sugestão de seu amigo Uri Geller.

Esta entrevista foi muito controversa entre aqueles próximos a Jackson porque Martin Bashir a manipulou, cortou cenas importantes e editou os vídeos de uma forma que distorcia completamente a imagem do verdadeiro Michael Jackson.

O cantor, enquanto isso, expressou sua insatisfação ao ver que, mais uma vez, a mídia o usou para obter seu próprio benefício, rompendo novamente o suposto compromisso de Bashir de informar objetivamente a realidade do cantor.

O documentário teve pouco depois um documentário-resposta chamado "Take Two: The Footage You Were Never Meant to See", que mostra cenas completas com as próprias câmeras de Jackson gravadas ao mesmo tempo que as de Bashir. Além disso, este documentário inclui, entre outros, os depoimentos da ex-mulher de Jackson, Debbie Rowe, e de Karen Faye, sua maquiadora de longa data. Depois de terem rejeitado entrevistas milionárias, todos participaram deste documentário sem custo.

This week I took a chance and bought a '14 JKU rollover from an insurance auction. I'm starting this thread to track my progress and honestly, help me keep track of the build many months to come (my memory isn't as good as it used to be). Tentative plan is to build an affordable trail toy that I can still take out on the road around town.
Anyway, my first step - get a key. I need to make sure it runs before I start spending $ on other repairs. I'm heading over to the local Jeep dealer on Saturday morning with Jeep on my trailer to get a key. It's around $200 for the key & programming.

That looks like it has potential to be a fun project. Do you mind me asking generally what something like that costs to buy?
Oh that will buff out, duct tape, band-aids and super glue. besides hit the trails someone would think you've got miles of off road experience under your belt.
3 out of 4 rims is not bad at all... lol. I would just hold of on the 200 dollar key... Pull the plugs then go ahead and hot wire it. Its not like your gonna mess it up.
Took the Jeep over to the dealer on Saturday am as planned. When the tech finally came out to program a key, he noticed the original key was broken off in the column. The key is set in the on position. Hmm, that explains why the battery was dead. Not sure how I missed that; probably because it's been raining here for a week and Sat was the first time I'd really seen the Jeep in the daylight. Regardless, I felt like an idiot. It happens. But, I'll know to look next time I buy a vehicle w/o a key (and you will too).
In better news, the service rep gave me the key which works the doors and I scheduled an appt to go back next Saturday to replace the ignition cylinder. While I was there they ran the vin # and we learned the Jeep is still under warranty until Nov. WHAT??? Score. If I have any mechanical issues, I'll just need to clean up the body work before bringing it back in (they photograph/scan all vehicles in service shop but not mine as it was on the trailer in the parking lot). Bonus, they printed out all of the maintenance and service records for me too. So, I left the dealer with my paperwork, warranty, key and no bill. They cut me a deal on programming the key and replacing the ignition cylinder - $175 all-in. I'm good with this as I'll retain factory setup. Last service mileage was 44k. Should know more next Saturday.
Hey any updates? I just got one from a rollover too.

NSE Colo Scam: Statement of Sucheta Dalal on Colocation Scam Investigation by CBI
Moneylife Digital Team 22 July 2022
Statement of Sucheta Dalal, Managing Editor of Moneylife Magazine On the Colocation Scam Investigation by the CBI
I was called to New Delhi to record my statement on the colocation scam on 16th July 2022 because I was the person who had broken the story in June 2015. The colocation scam is being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
For the record, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) had filed a Rs100 crore defamation case against me and Moneylife, which they withdrew after paying Rs50 lakh as ordered by the high court. Subsequently, SEBI's long-drawn investigation has repeatedly proven wrongdoing at the NSE after multiple investigations.
Even earlier, Abhinav Khare, SP, CBI, who is investigating the scam and Pushpal Paul, DSP, CBI, had contacted me to seek information.
Just before the New Delhi meeting, I was told that they wanted to record my statement before Mr Paul. On asking Mr Khare, he had told me that it was about 'Ken Fong'. This is the name used by the whistle-blower, whose email to SEBI, copied to me, was first reported by Moneylife in 2015 and led to the investigation by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and now by CBI.
Indeed, most of the questions asked by the CBI were about Ken Fong's four letters. I had carried all the four letters posted by Ken Fong to me from two different countries and showed CBI copies of my emails to SEBI before publishing the first article. These are all part of official legal records in the Rs100 crore defamation suit filed against me and Moneylife by the NSE, which was subsequently withdrawn.
I was asked if I knew who Ken Fong was. I do not know who he is and I said so emphatically. I was also asked about the process which we followed before writing the article and the decision to publish it. And whether I had asked to visit the NSE before writing the article.
I pointed out that colocation trading happens in highly sophisticated computers and there would be nothing for me to see from the outside. The decision to publish it was entirely mine after following the usual journalistic process of trying to verify the truth.
Apart from this, I was asked if I knew Sanjay Pandey, former Commissioner of Police, whose firm, iSec Services Pvt Ltd, is under the scanner. I answered that I did indeed know Sanjay Pandey since about 1994-95, when my junior at the Times of India, Somasekhar Sundaresan, used to report extensively on the cobbler scam for the Business Times section when I was the Financial Editor. I have indeed known Mr Pandey since then, as have most journalists in Mumbai.
I categorically stated that I have nothing to do with Mr Pandey and his business deals, specifically his dealings with NSE under the management of Ravi Narain and Chitra Ramkrishna, under whom the colocation scam happened.
I was also asked if I knew Ravi Narain, former Managing Director of the NSE. I responded that I had known him from the time NSE was started (which was around 1992) since I have been reporting extensively on the capital market for 35 years.
As a financial journalist covering the capital market, it is basic to my job to know the heads of all stock exchanges.
I was asked if I had introduced Mr Pandey to Mr Narain. I told them I have no such recollection. I believe that Mr Narain has made this allegation.
I said that I did not see why NSE or Ravi Narain would need a recommendation from me when SEBI had asked Mr Pandey to investigate the National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) in 2005. NSDL is a subsidiary of NSE. Later NSE itself had asked him to be part of an investigation committee with regard to a trading glitch.
I am issuing this statement since one media house has written to ask me questions about the meeting with CBI. I am intrigued that questions are being raised by the media about the journalist, who actually broke multiple scams over the years, including the colocation scam.
I am always happy to cooperate with any investigation, as I have done for all my decades as a journalist.
angelo.extross
Congratulations, Sucheta. You have come out of the meeting smelling of roses. Truth shall prevail, though we may have to have immense patience.
harshadshah1953
I believe in your statement. However, it is time to reveal larger scam, big people involved, their roles and their motives. This should also include actual beneficiaries like Brokers (with names, indication if you lack proofs), NSE Officers, Officers from Regulator SEBI, Government officers, Politicians etc. Instead of writing to write book, please release articles in PDF and put in public domain. Let larger truth come open. Don't be afraid. We are with you. All your life, you have lived with in your means and not in luxuries enjoyed by many media celebrities.
vasudha.joshi23
Thanks for your report following the best norms of transparency. Was CBI seeking information, confirmation or was it intimidatory?
VN KULKARNI
BRAVO MADAME. WE NEED SUCH STAUNCH REPORTERS TO UNDO THE MISDEEDS DONE BY SO CALLED INFLUENTIAL EXECUTIVES.LET THE COMMON MAN COME TO KNOW THESE BLACK DEEDS SO THAT THEIR HARD EARNED SAVINGS WILL REMAIN INTACT.
yerramr
Responsible journalistic practices adopted by institutions like the Money Life are the preserves of a healthy democracy. When disclosures of the companies come under the scanner resulting later in scams, it is only a third eye knowledgeable in such disclorures can alone comment with necessary insights and evidences. They should not be a gossip on social media with their own interpretations.

Zanzibars Red Daredevil
Twenty-five miles off the coast of Tanzania lives an endangered red monkey
Rene Ebersole
THIS IS EVEL KNIEVEL'S kind of monkey. Decked out in a crimson cape, contrasted by a crown of white, wispy fur and an ebony face mask, the Zanzibar red colobus monkey leaps, arms and legs extended, nearly 25 feet through the air and lands feet first on a branch. Among local people, the primate's Kiswahili nickname is kima punju—poison monkey. According to superstitions, trees where the monkey eats die after a visit, dogs that tangle with the primate lose their fur. Local residents, deterred by such beliefs and the animal's trademark scent of sulfur, won't eat it.
Not only is Zanzibar's red colobus feared, acrobatic and handsome, it is also resourceful. Researchers from the United States reported in the International Journal of Primatology in 1997 that the primate had curiously developed a habit of collecting scraps of charcoal to gnaw on from burned tree stumps, kilns and hearths. The scientists surmised that the odd behavior was apparently helping the monkeys digest toxic substances in their diets. In fact, the charcoal allowed the monkeys to expand their menus to include things they hadn't eaten before, such as Indian almond and mango, which contains compounds that, in large quantities, interfere with digestion. As a result, Zanzibar's dwindling red colobus population mushroomed.
Despite promising population gains, however, conservationists fear this acrobat will have a tenuous future if agriculture, timber and other development interests continue to chip away at its remote, island habitat. The entire population of 2,000 red colobus monkeys is packed into Zanzibar's Jozani Forest Reserve, the last intact indigenous woodland on the 640-square-mile archipelago. And the monkeys may well be crowded out if the island's human numbers double in the next 20 years, as predicted.
FAMOUS FOR KAMIKAZE-STYLE LEAPS covering as far as 25 feet from tree to tree, the Zanzibar red colobus is well adapted for life in the canopy. The name colobus—derived from the Greek word meaning "mutilated"—gives away the secret to this animal's agility. Unlike most other primates, colobus monkeys have no thumbs, allowing them to form hooks with their four-fingered hands and swing from limb to limb like trapeze artists.
LEAN AND LEGGY, the primate is equipped with its own balancing pole, a tail that is a third of the length of its body, and strong, grasping feet that encompass half of the length of its legs. American primatologist Tom Struhsaker, who has studied Zanzibar's red colobus monkey extensively, has written that a female leaping with a baby in tow is equivalent to a human achieving a 50-foot standing broad jump with a 25-pound load strapped to her chest.
A SOCIAL CREATURE, the Zanzibar red colobus lives in troops that range from 20 to 70 animals (top, left). The monkey survives on a vegetarian diet that includes leaves from Indian almond and mango trees (bottom, left), which are high in protein but also in phenols—toxic substances that interfere with digestion. The clever monkeys have learned to tolerate the toxins by chasing them with a bit of absorbent charcoal (right), a technique also used in some human cultures.


According to Michael Ashkenaz's "Handbook Of Japanese Mythology", Chikap Kamui is an owl kamuy or deity of the Ainu people. He is believed to oversee the behavior of humans … since the Ainu believed that the owl watched over the local kotan (domain), Chikap Kamuy came to be represented as the master of the domain. He is worshipped as a deity of material success. In some areas, his tears were said to be gold and silver.
In our travels around Hokkaido, we had encountered lots of owl carvings and amulets especially at the Ainu Kotan Village at Lake Akan in Hokkaido. We'd also seen lots of owl amulets on the Izu Peninsula, and some homes around my neighborhood have owl pottery figurines on their gate, so my curiosity has been piqued as to what they might symbolize.
When we were visiting the Maruyama Zoo in Hokkaido, at the aviary section I saw a plaque that said Japan was the "owl capital of the world" (I haven't been able to confirm this by a google search but…) and it noted that there were around twelve species of owls indigenous to or that breed mainly in Japan.
Japan seems to shares a Central Asian veneration of owls, as in Japan owl pictures and figurines have been placed in homes to ward off famine or epidemics. In Central Asia feathers of the Northern Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo), particularly from its breast and belly, were valued as precious amulets protecting children and livestock from evil spirits. Talons of the Northern Eagle Owl were said to ward off diseases and cure infertility in women.
Also hinting of the antiquity of these beliefs – are the Ainu's owl beliefs: the Blakiston's Fish Owl (Ketupa blakistoni) was called "Kotan Kor Kamuy" (God of the Village) by the Ainu, the native peoples of Hokkaido, Japan. The traditional Ainu people were hunter-gatherers and believed that all animals were divine; most admired were bear and the fish owl. The owls were held in particular esteem and, like the people, were associated with fish (salmonids) and lived in many of the same riverside locations. The Fish Owl Ceremony, which returned the spirit of fish owls to the god's world, was conducted until the 1930's.
Bird symbolism in Japan mirrors that of Central Asia and Siberia, since the tumulus age, there has been a persistent image of the bird as a bird of death. There are images of a bird on a prow in ancient etchings, tomb murals and funerary statuary. Although the chicken and flying waterfowl are more common imagery as the bird of death, the owl shares the same symbolic meaning. As in many cultures, owls signal an underworld or serve to represent human spirits after death; in ancient times along with other Siberian cultures, owls represented supportive spirit helpers and allow humans (often shamans) to connect with or utilize their supernatural powers.
It is not surprising that with owls having been very common in the olden days and they are associated with shinto shrine groves, that there are several legends and folktales to do with owls: – see the Little Horned Owl (an Ainu tale) and "Colored" ; a really famous folktale about how the crow, originally a white bird, became black and "The Owl of the Three Jewels (from the nine gothic "Tales of Moonlight and Rain" by Ueda Akinari). According to some lore, some owls are seen as divine messengers while others, particularly Barn or Horned owls, are viewed as demons.
On a more modern note, a Japanese Lucky Owl is one of the most popular lucky charms in Japan because 'owl' in Japanese is 'fukurou' which means 'no hardship' or 'no trouble'.
* フクロウ fukurō is applied to owls without 'ears', in particular the Ural Owl.

Jordan. In the town of Petra is a huge and interesting archeological sight. It is a sprawling mass of rock cliffs in which you can see carved tombs (and some are elaborately carved tombs) from the very early times of the Nabataeans.
These Nabataeans were first noted in history when an Assyrian king listed Nabataea as an enemy. And I'm not sure when that was but I think that was sometime between 350 and 450 BC. The town was quite prosperous back in the day; it grew rich from taxing caravans using its trail through this stretch of obstructing rock behemoths. The Romans held it at one point and added some of their own tomb flourishes.
I took a donkey trek to the Shrine of the Snake because I was intrigued with the name, more than anything else. The other visitor taking this trek with me was intrigued because of the talk that this was either at or proximate to the burial site of Aaron, the brother of Moses (Moses of the Old Testament). So it was a trek with much positive vibrations as we were both enthused and our guide, who walked the trek, was pleased to have customers.
It was a slow half day's journey on a black donkey named Zebra. The scenery was amazing with rock cliffs of various hues contrasting with the blue sky. Once there, I scrambled up to the top but it was the view from a distance that gave the impression of a cobra sprouting a human head from its upper back. Along our return, we stopped to have coffee with the guide's friends, a family group of Bedouins. It was all very pleasant, but I was thankful I was just visiting.
If you are traveling in Jordan, it is well worth a visit to Petra's Archeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Boise State University Passport to Education staff instruct students through two online degree paths to receive their bachelor's degree in several areas of emphasis.
An innovative credit union partnership is providing students with a new way to pay for higher education at a lower cost.
CapEd Credit Union is working with Boise State University to offer Passport to Education, a monthly subscription-based tuition program that reduces the overall cost of a college degree and student debt, while providing access to a high-quality education. CapEd members can use the program to obtain a bachelor's degree in Multidisciplinary Studies or Applied Science.
CapEd's agreement provides Boise State with annual funding to help reduce the cost for employees and members. Additionally, the credit union works closely with Boise State's outreach programs to promote the program to members and the community. They work together to help reconnect those who have earned college credits and work experience but have not yet finished their degree.
The monthly subscription model modernizes the approach to paying for higher education, transforming it into a month-by-month expense that students appreciate.
The program offers two online degree paths toward a bachelor's in several areas of emphasis. Passport 6 is six credit hours per term, and Passport 9 is nine credit hours per term. Each requires a specific monthly subscription rate and offers a tuition savings of 18 to 30 percent, depending on the selected path. Online courses offer flexibility to easily accommodate students so they can complete their degree at their own pace and receive support from a dedicated advising team, whether they live near campus, in rural Idaho, or beyond.
Since its inception in the current academic year, the program is on track to meet its initial goal of serving 100 students sourced from referrals, advertising, and members of the CapEd family. The innovative program won "Best in Show" at a University of Professional and Continuing Education Association competition in October. Program administrators presented the program at the UPCEA National Conference in March and were still awaiting results at press time.
CapEd was started in 1936 and has a long tradition of supporting education and the community. For more information about Passport to Education, visit CapEd's program page.

Investigating the effects of C9orf72 haploinsufficiency on TDP-43 pathology in ALS
Lilian Lin, University of Toronto
ALS Society of Canada
Area of Research:
ALS Canada – Brain Canada Trainee Program 2018
Total grant amount:
Normal cells have a "self-cleaning" process called autophagy that breaks down and clears out cellular waste, so the cell can function properly. In the majority of ALS cases, a protein known as TDP-43 becomes misfolded and accumulates in motor neurons, causing toxicity. The accumulation of misfolded TDP-43 also occurs in people living with ALS who have a mutation in the C9orf72 gene, the most common genetic cause of ALS. The C9orf72 protein is known to play a role in autophagy and that role is diminished when the gene is mutated.
Recent animal experiments suggest that boosting autophagy with an experimental drug treatment can clear excess TDP-43 accumulation. Using human cells grown in culture and genetically-modified mice with depleted C9orf72, Lilian Lin will investigate whether the C9orf72 gene mutation and the associated loss of normal autophagy function increase TDP-43 protein misfolding and accumulation. If her hypothesis is correct, it will show an important connection between the two most prominently studied proteins in ALS and suggest that targeting this loss of autophagy might be a key avenue for the development of new ALS therapies.

Local entrepreneur praises business hub
JT sets sights on faster broadband
Audit Director appointed to expanding team
Project management committee established
Direct Input expands team
A local entrepreneur, who launched and grew his recruitment firm from a hub in Jersey's library, is encouraging other budding businesses to do the same, after a successful first year.
Lee Madden, founder and Managing Director of GR8 Recruitment, started his company in January 2018 and has since grown from a one-man organisation to a team of six, which is now working in the company's own premises.
But he said none of that would have been possible without Jersey Library-based, Barclays Eagle Lab, where it all began. The area provides desk and meeting space - ideal for the local entrepreneur as he took his first steps.
Mr Madden said he initially worked from his home office in St. Mary, but soon realised he needed to be closer to town. However, with commercial premises being expensive, he chose to start his business at Eagle Lab so that he "could save on overheads and focus on growing my business."
"The Eagle Lab has been instrumental in my business' success. We used everything there – even the laser cutter to make signage for our new premises. The staff there are really friendly, and it was great to be able to interact with like-minded people," Mr Madden explained.
Having now left the Lab to move into GR8's own premises, Mr Madden is encouraging fellow entrepreneurs looking for a place to start to use the Eagle Lab and its facilities, which he says are "second to none". They even offer free tea and coffee," he added.
Ed Jewell, Chief Librarian at Jersey Library, commented: "We're really proud of the Eagle Lab that we have here at the library. The lab builds on our library resources to help small businesses and individuals to learn, create, innovate and grow... We're delighted that the lab has helped Lee to grow his business, and we wish him and his team all the best in their new premises."
Neil McCluskey, Head of Corporates at Barclays Jersey, welcomed Mr Madden's success. "We are delighted that by taking advantage of the Barclays Eagle Lab, Lee has helped to secure his future prosperity, and created five new jobs. Hopefully his example will be an inspiration to others, and we would welcome visits to the lab from all budding entrepreneurs and existing business owners."
