This Custom Royal Enfield Himalayan Is A Tribute To Tenzing Norgay
Kshitij Rawat
Check out this custom-built Royal Enfield Himalayan 'Sherpa', by Bulleteer Customs, which pays tribute to mountaineering legend Tenzing Norgay
Royal Enfield motorcycles are extremely popular among auto enthusiasts in India. Many of these enthusiasts have a passion for customising motorcycles, and we've seen numerous custom-built RE bikes over the years. There are a few workshops across the country that specialise in modifying Royal Enfield bikes, including Bengaluru-based Bulleteer Customs.
We recently came across a customised Royal Enfield Himalayan online, built by Bulleteer Customs. The project has been christened 'Sherpa', and it has been designed as a tribute to Tenzing Norgay. He was the first person to scale the summit of the highest peak in the world – Mt. Everest – in 1953, alongside Sir Edmund Hillary.
It is quite fitting that RE Himalayan was chosen for this project, as the motorcycle is named after the Himalayan mountain range, of which Mt. Everest is a part. There are quite a few unique design details here, with the highlight being the new chrome paint on the fuel tank. The engine casing and wire-spoke wheels also feature a bright chrome finish, which looks very cool.
The headlamp now features a yellow-tinted glass, and we also see aftermarket taillight (with a grille cover) and turn indicators. Also, new upside-down forks have been installed here, which look extremely premium due to the shiny chrome finish. The motorcycle also gets a custom scrambler-style exhaust, with the pipe routed through the right side of the body, with an SC project end can.
The motorcycle also gets custom number panels on both sides. Also, a pair of vintage-style knee pads have been added to the bike, which goes well with the ribbed single-piece tan seat. The rear-view mirrors are now mounted near the engine on tall stalks, which is an interesting design detail. Also, the rear numberplate holder is mounted on the swingarm now, styled like a tyre hugger.
At the top of the headlamp, there's a tiny custom cowl with this custom bike's name branded in brass. A brass-bezzled timepiece has also been added here, along with custom handlebar grips and bar-end weights. The front subframe and fairing have been removed, and the instrument cluster is now placed on the handlebar. Personally speaking, the design of this custom Royal Enfield Himalayan is nothing short of impressive.


Pentaho, a Hitachi Data Systems company, and Melissa Data, a provider of global contact data quality solutions, have formed a partnership to create new data quality plug-ins for Pentaho's big data integration and analytics platform. Melissa Data's plug-ins for Pentaho will help users move beyond tactical data quality efforts to engage in a broader data governance strategy by combining data quality, data governance, and master data management.
According to the vendors, in order to keep a data lake from becoming a data swamp, it is important to create a data strategy that includes data validation and correction against reference datasets, and extracting entities or data points from the unstructured big data. Citing industry statistics that through 2016, less than 10% of self-service BI initiatives will be governed sufficiently to prevent inconsistencies that adversely affect the business, Pentaho and Melissa Data say they plan to enable organizations to integrate broad cleansing and data verification into the flow of their analytic data pipeline.
"Pentaho's focus on the importance of data governance mirrors our own, and together we make a powerful partnership," said Ray Melissa, founder and president, Melissa Data. "Our plug-ins for Pentaho provide an agile integration point for customers who need broader capabilities to govern and validate data to answer critical business questions."
The plugs-in are available through the Pentaho Marketplace. For more information visit www.pentaho.com and www.melissadata.com.


If you have pored over "places to visit" lists and wondered — like we have — how decisions get made, this podcast will provide a glimpse into the room where it happens.
Our guests today are Dan Saltzstein, a travel editor at The New York Times who organized the 52 Places to Go in 2017 project. And we also have Nikki Ekstein, travel editor at Bloomberg Pursuits, who oversaw Bloomberg's Where to Go in 2017 list. They joined Skift podcast host and editor Hannah Sampson and editor-in-chief Jason Clampet.

HI, do you have a 'standard' reply, if people ask why we are marching?
Do you have a list of reasons why we are marching that can be used, so everyone saying same thing?
1. Access to Work (AtW) provides the practical support that Deaf and disabled people need to work. It is being cut. This means that many Deaf and disabled people can't work.
2. AtW brings money into the economy. For every £1 spent, the scheme brings in £1.48. It makes us/the Treasury better off!
3. The government says it wants to "make work pay", yet without this support, Deaf and disabled people will be unable to do our jobs. Whether we are teachers, farmers, factory workers or architects, we all need access to our work.
4. The Government's "Disability Confidence" campaign is bringing back a glass ceiling and creating unskilled jobs for Deaf and disabled people who, with Access to Work at its previous levels, were progressing in careers that we were trained and skilled in.
5. Deaf and disabled people want to work – don't cut the support we need to do this!

Three Palestinians Killed, 242 Wounded' by Israeli Occoupations Forces in Border Protests Fraiday after noon according local sources.
Today Saturday local sources told PNN that Ahmed Jamal Suleiman Abu Luli (40 years) died after being shot by the Israeli occupation during his participation in the peaceful march of return near the border east of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip yesterday.
Gaza's Health Ministry reported that two Palestinians, one of whom was a medic, were killed and 242 Palestinians were wounded in clashes near the Gaza-Israel border .
The ministry said 106 of the casualties were taken to local hospitals and 70 were said to be wounded from live fire. Five are currently in serious condition.
The Palestinian medic was identified as Abdullah Al-Qatati, while the second victim was identified as saeed AL – Aloul a 55-year-old man from Rafah city south of Gaza.
Also the local sources added that another five paramedics, two reporters were injured during the clashes on the border of Gaza.
For his part D. Jawad Awad Palestinian Minister of Health condemned, today, the killing of the medic, Abdullah al-Qatti (20 years), east of Rafah by Israeli occoupations army.
The killing of medic Qataiti brings the number of medical martyrs since 30 of march to 3 martyrs, including a lady D.Jawad Awad added.
The killing of paramedics is a flagrant violation of all international treaties and conventions, which call for the protection of paramedics in their humanitarian duty to rescue and care for the wounded.
The minister called on all international human rights organizations to take immediate action to protect unarmed citizens in all Palestinian cities who are subjected to various forms of killing by the Israeli occoupation army.
Thousands of protesters reportedly gathered in five locations along the border, where demonstrators threw firebombs and stones at IOF forces and set fire to tires.
The protests are part of the "March of Return," weekly mass demonstrations for Palestinians' right of return and opposition to policies, such as the U.S. embassy relocation to Jerusalem.
The IOF claim that number of Palestinians also threw a grenade at forces in northern Gaza, the military said, though no casualties were reported.
An IOF tank attacked a Hamas position in northern Gaza on two separate occasions and no casualties were reported also.
The committee in charge of the procession began calling on Gazans to join in protests before a cease-fire had been declared on Thursday.
An Egyptian said that a cease-fire deal had been reached between Israel and Hamas.
Since the beginning of the return marches, more than 170 Palestinian have been killed, including more than 25 children and 3 women, and about 20,000 people have been injured.

Download Digital Fandom books, "This book re-evaluates the way we examine today's digital media environment By looking at how popular culture uses different digital technologies, Digital Fandom bolsters contemporary media theory by introducing new methods of analysis Using the exemplars of alternate reality gaming and fan studies, this book takes into account a particular "philosophy of playfulness" in today's media in order to establish a "new media studies."" "Digital Fandom augments traditional studies of popular media fandom with descriptions of the contemporary fan in a converged media environment. The book shows how changes in the study of fandom can be applied in a larger scale to the study of new media in general, and formulates new conceptions of traditional media theories." ""In this web 2.0 world, where community and not content is king, the fan marks a new form of interactive subjectivity that deconstructs the usual categories of consumer and producer. Paul Booth's Digital Fandom breaks new ground in the investigation of this subject, demonstrating how it reorganizes and reorients the field of new media studies" ---David J. Gunkel, Presidential Teaching Professor, Northern Illinois University, Author of Hacking Cyberspace and Thinking Otherwise" ""From blogs to ARGS, wikis to social networking sites, Paul Booth provides an in-depth tour of how fans straddle and traverse the boundary between television and digital media.

Post Fandom And The Millennial Blues
Author: Steve Redhead
by Steve Redhead, Post Fandom And The Millennial Blues Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Post Fandom And The Millennial Blues books, Soccer fandom has traditionally been seen as an important part of adolescent, generally male, identity making. In Post-Fandom and the Millennial Blues , Steve Redhead shows how this tradition of youth culture of fandom has been eroded in the last years of the twentieth century by the more fleeting, style conscious allegiances inspired by television, films and music. The clubs that young people follow are determined by advertising and popular music; the games that they watch are brought to them by the globalized culture of television, as in the world cup staged in America; even their fears of so-called soccer hooliganism are determined by media-engendered moral panics at a time when the phenomenon itself seems to be dying away.
Anti Fandom
Author: Melissa A. Click
by Melissa A. Click, Anti Fandom Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Anti Fandom books, A revealing look at the pleasure we get from hating figures like politicians, celebrities, and TV characters, showcased in approaches that explore snark, hate-watching, and trolling The work of a fan takes many forms: following a favorite celebrity on Instagram, writing steamy fan fiction fantasies, attending meet-and-greets, and creating fan art as homages to adored characters. While fandom that manifests as feelings of like and love are commonly understood, examined less frequently are the equally intense, but opposite feelings of dislike and hatred. Disinterest. Disgust. Hate. This is anti-fandom. It is visible in many of the same spaces where you see fandom: in the long lines at ComicCon, in our politics, and in numerous online forums like Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, and the ever dreaded comments section. This is where fans and fandoms debate and discipline. This is where we love to hate. Anti-Fandom,a collection of 15 original and innovative essays, provides a framework for future study through theoretical and methodological exemplars that examine anti-fandom in the contemporary digital environment through gender, generation, sexuality, race, taste, authenticity, nationality, celebrity, and more. From hatewatching Girls and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo to trolling celebrities and their characters on Twitter, these chapters ground the emerging area of anti-fan studies with a productive foundation. The book demonstrates the importance of constructing a complex knowledge of emotion and media in fan studies. Its focus on the pleasures, performances, and practices that constitute anti-fandom will generate new perspectives for understanding the impact of hate on our identities, relationships, and communities.
Understanding Fandom
Author: Mark Duffett
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
by Mark Duffett, Understanding Fandom Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Understanding Fandom books, Fans used to be seen as an overly obsessed fraction of the audience. In the last few decades, shifts in media technology and production have instead made fandom a central mode of consumption. A range of ideas has emerged to explore different facets of this growing phenomenon. With a foreword by Matt Hills, Understanding Fandom introduces the whole field of fan research by looking at the history of debate, key paradigms and methodological issues. The book discusses insights from scholars working with fans of different texts, genres and media forms, including television and popular music. Mark Duffett shows that fan research is an emergent interdisciplinary field with its own key thinkers: a tradition that is distinct from both textual analysis and reception studies. Drawing on a range of debates from media studies, cultural studies and psychology, Duffett argues that fandom is a particular kind of engagement with the power relations of media culture.

Post Object Fandom
Author: Rebecca Williams
by Rebecca Williams, Post Object Fandom Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Post Object Fandom books, Fandom is generally viewed as an integral part of everyday life which impacts upon how we form emotional bonds with ourselves and others in a modern, mediated world. Whilst it is inevitable for television series to draw to a close, the reactions of fans have rarely been considered. Williams explores this everyday occurence through close analysis of television fans to examine how they respond to, discuss, and work through their feelings when shows finish airing. Through a range of case studies, including The West Wing (NBC, 2000-2006), Lost (ABC 2004 -2010), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003), Doctor Who (BBC 1963-1989; 2005-), The X-Files (FOX, 1993-2002), Firefly (FOX, 2002) and Sex and the City (HBO, 1998-2004), Williams considers how fans prepare for the final episodes of shows, how they talk about this experience with fellow fans, and how, through re-viewing, discussion and other fan practices, they seek to maintain their fandom after the show's cessation.
Fandom Unbound
Author: Mizuko Ito
by Mizuko Ito, Fandom Unbound Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Fandom Unbound books, In recent years, otaku culture has emerged as one of Japan s major cultural exports and as a genuinely transnational phenomenon. This timely volume investigates how this once marginalized popular culture has come to play a major role in Japan s identity at home and abroad. In the American context, the word otaku is best translated as geek an ardent fan with highly specialized knowledge and interests. But it is associated especially with fans of specific Japan-based cultural genres, including anime, manga, and video games. Most important of all, as this collection shows, is the way otaku culture represents a newly participatory fan culture in which fans not only organize around niche interests but produce and distribute their own media content. In this collection of essays, Japanese and American scholars offer richly detailed descriptions of how this once stigmatized Japanese youth culture created its own alternative markets and cultural products such as fan fiction, comics, costumes, and remixes, becoming a major international force that can challenge the dominance of commercial media. By exploring the rich variety of otaku culture from multiple perspectives, this groundbreaking collection provides fascinating insights into the present and future of cultural production and distribution in the digital age."
Popular Music Fandom
Category : Music
by Mark Duffett, Popular Music Fandom Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Popular Music Fandom books, This book explores popular music fandom from a cultural studies perspective that incorporates popular music studies, audience research, and media fandom. The essays draw together recent work on fandom in popular music studies and begin a dialogue with the wider field of media fan research, raising questions about how popular music fandom can be understood as a cultural phenomenon and how much it has changed in light of recent developments. Exploring the topic in this way broaches questions on how to define, theorize, and empirically research popular music fan culture, and how music fandom relates to other roles, practices, and forms of social identity. Fandom itself has been brought center stage by the rise of the internet and an industrial structure aiming to incorporate, systematize, and legitimate dimensions of it as an emotionally-engaged form of consumerism. Once perceived as the pariah practice of an overly attached audience, media fandom has become a standardized industrial subject-position called upon to sell box sets, concert tickets, new television series, and special editions. Meanwhile, recent scholarship has escaped the legacy of interpretations that framed fans as passive, pathological, or defiantly empowered, taking its object seriously as a complex formation of identities, roles, and practices. While popular music studies has examined some forms of identity and audience practice, such as the way that people use music in daily life and listener participation in subcultures, scenes and, tribes, this volume is the first to examine music fans as a specific object of study.

Where we are: geographical, ethnical and socioeconomic context
The Jane Goodall Institute program for the research and conservation of chimpanzees and the sustainable management of natural resources is carried out in in the Kédougou region, in southeastern Senegal, and across the border in the north of Guinea. The majority of the JGI activities in Senegal are carried out within the Dindéfélo Community Nature Reserve (RNCD in French), although the program also includes other villages and adjacent areas.
Kédougou is the one of the only regions with chimpanzees in its territory. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the chimpanzees that live in Senegal, the Pan troglodytes verus subspecies, are in critically endangered. In fact, the presence of these primates was the main reason for the creation of the RNCD as a protected area.
The Reserve is located at the edge of the Fouta Jallon mountain range, at the source of the Gambia, Senegal and Niger rivers. Its mountains, rare to see in a country that is practically flat, its topography and its climate (intense drought period from October to May and a rainy season from May to September) favor the existence of different types of forests and savannas, creating a spectacular landscape and an impressive diversity of fauna.
The Kédougou region borders the Tambacounda region to the west and the Bakel region to the north, as well as the Republic of Guinea to the south and Mali to the east. With 16,890 km², which represent 8,6% of the national territory, Kédougou is one of the most extensive regions of the country. However, in 2010, only 1% of the population of Senegal lived here, 129,908 habitants (8 habitants per km²). While 83% of the population lives in rural areas, the remaining 17% is distributed among the three urban centers: Kédougou, Saraya and Salemata.
Senegal is characterized by its great ethnic diversity and the Kédougou region is a clear example of this. In the Bassari Country, declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 2012, members of the Peul, Bedik and Bassari ethnic groups live together. The RNCD, and consequently the JGI headquarters in Senegal, are located within this area, and more specifically in the territory where part of the Peul ethnic group lives.
Other main ethnic groups that can be found in the Kédougou region are the Diakhanké, the Nandingue, the Diallounkézs and the Wolof. In regard to the religions practiced, Muslims are a majority (96,6%), followed by Catholics (2,6%) and Animists (0,8%).
Kédougou is one of the most disadvantaged regions of Senegal despite the abundant resources of its natural environment. Poverty affects all social strata, especially in rural areas, and is revealed by the difficult access to primary health care and to basic hydraulic and electric infrastructures. Furthermore, the educational system is unable to eliminate high illiteracy rates in the region, emphasized by the elevated school dropout rate, especially in the case of women, and the lack of employment opportunities for young people.
In the RNCD the local economy is based on agriculture, forest harvesting and livestock, and it rarely exceeds the limits of subsistence. Despite this, the service sector has begun to take off with the creation of small local businesses in the town of Dindéfélo, the administrative center of the Dindéfélo Commune. Tourism is key for the growth of this sector and has gradually been introduced thanks to the region´s cultural value, impressive landscapes and biodiversity. One of the most attractive sights is the highest waterfall in the country, the Dindéfélo Waterfall, as well as the wild fauna, in particular the chimpanzees.
With the creation of the Dindéfélo Community Nature Reserve and the activities of the JGI in Senegal, an ecotourism model has been created to contribute to the sustainable development of the community as well as to the conservation of the chimpanzee and their environment. The RNCD offers guided tours to observe wild chimpanzees. These tours have become a source of income for projects that benefit the community.

thanx

A: Read up on the component lifecycle in Flex (There are multiple questions on SO with the links).
You aren't following the correct practices when making a display component.

A: Check your canvas size. Also, attributes like "red" and "solid" are usually written in lowercase (not sure if it is required).

[HanCinema's Box Office Review] 2017.03.31 ~ 2017.04.02
Foreign fairytale narrowly outplays "The Prison" for the top spot...
"Beauty and the Beast", Bill Condon's re-imagining of Disney's classic fairytale, fended off a flood of new entries last weekend to secure a second week at the top. Now in its third weekend, the film once again narrowly retained pole position by capturing 32.51% of the sales (650,185 admissions). That sum moves its bottom line in Korea now to over 4 million admissions ($30.1 million) and is currently the third highest-grossing film of the year behind "The King" (5.3 million) and "Confidential Assignment" (7.8 million). Worldwide, "Beauty and the Beast" is closing in on a billion dollars in sales: $876.3 million.
Less than 100,000 admissions separated Nah Hyeon's debut film "The Prison" and Condon's remake last weekend, and the margin between them remained close here. "The Prison" (starring Han Suk-kyu, Kim Rae-won, Kang Shin-il, Lee Kyung-young, and Kim Sung-kyun) earned 26.33% of the sales (510,105 admissions) from 906 screens, pushing its total admission count to 2.2 million ($16 million).
While the top two films remained unmoved, a new entry from America arrived to take "Ordinary Person"'s place on the podium. Based on the Japanese manga of the same name by Masamune Shirow, "Ghost in the Shell" is a live-action science fiction film starring Scarlett Johansson. Rupert Sanders's retelling was allocated 806 screens around the Korea and captured just over 20% of the sales (390,376 admissions) during its first weekend out. In America and elsewhere, however, the film has received heavy criticism; from the $110 million it took to produce, the film has only banked around $7.7 million.
The highest new local entry came in the form of Yang Kyeong-mo-I's debut feature, the crime drama "One Line" starring Im Si-wan, Jin Goo, Park Byung-eun, Lee Dong-hwi and Kim Sun-young. 588 screens were allocated to Yang's opening effort and 195,586 admissions resulted ($1.97 million). Far behind Yang's first film, with 78,412 admissions (3.94%), fell Theodore Melfi's "Hidden Figures", moving its bottom line now to just over $1 million. This award-winning film (it did, however, miss out on an Oscar) has grossed more than ten times its production budget: currently $221.1 million.
Kim Bong-han's second film after "The Hero" (2013), "Ordinary Person", arrived in third last week with 8.15% of the sales (213,232), but week two for Kim's drama saw it slip three places to sixth. From 389 screens (down from 619), "Ordinary Person" managed just 36,336 admissions (1.73%) from its second weekend out, bringing its bottom line now to $2.5 million, or 365,774 admissions. Shinsuke Sato's "Death Note: Light Up the New World", a sequel to the 2006 film "Death Note 2: The Last Name" (based on the manga series by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata), arrived last Wednesday and opened its Korean account with 13,607 admissions in seventh from 290 screens.
The only other new arrival was the foreign political thriller "Miss Sloane" by director John Madden. It captured 12,452 admissions (0.63%) from 104 screens and was followed by the Chinese animation "Three Little Pigs and the Magic Lamp" with 8,070 (0.38%) from 90. The first weekend of April was rounded out by Hong Sang-soo's latest: "On the Beach at Night Alone" (Kim Min-hee). Hong's 101-minute drama, his twentieth film since "The Day a Pig Fell Into the Well" (1996), added 7,915 admissions to move its total tally now to 40,438 ($279,594).

Thousands Gathered To Protest George Floyd's Death, Tear Gas Used

Nicholas Elias Contributor
Thousands of protestors gathered Tuesday night in Minneapolis to protest the death of George Floyd.

The protests began Tuesday evening at the site of the death of George Floyd. According to WCCO, protest organizers were determined to keep the protests peaceful. People in the crowd chanted "I can't breath" and "It could've been me." The protest did, however, turn violent as anger and frustration overcame hundreds of protesters. (RELATED: Police Officers Involved With Death Of George Floyd Fired)
Protesters moved to the 3rd Minneapolis Precinct, where the officers involved in the death of Floyd supposedly came from. WCCO footage shows protesters becoming violent and smashing police vehicles in the parking lot. Police responded by throwing flash grenades at protesters.

Other video shows protesters attacking police vehicles in the streets as the crowd enveloped them. "We're here to let them know this can't be tolerated, there will be severe consequences if they continue to kill us this will not go on another day," a protester said to WCCO. Another protester said "It's real ugly. The police have to understand that this is the climate they have created, this is the climate they created."
George Floyd was arrested by police officers for alleged forgery. A bystander's video shows a police officer pinning Floyd to the ground and putting his knee on Floyd's neck after he supposedly became violent during the arrest. Floyd begs for help but can be seen going completely still. Floyd died after being transported to a hospital. Many consider his death an example of police brutality.

Each March, the Young Bankers Division organizes this unique outing in conjunction with TBA's government relations team. "Day on the Hill" encourages engagement in the political and regulatory process by providing an opportunity for bankers under the age of 40 to observe the General Assembly in session and meet with key legislators and staffers. Participants learn about the procedures of the state's governing body, tour the Capitol and also attend committee sessions.
The Young Bankers Division was established in 1960 to nurture the professional development of the state's bank officers, and prepare them to become the industry's next generation of leaders through professional development, advocacy and community involvement opportunities.
Trace Blankenship's practice is concentrated on mergers and acquisitions, venture capital/capital-raising transactions, securities regulation, and corporate governance/board strategy. He has been named to Best Lawyers in America every year since 2014 and was selected in 2017 and again in 2018 for the Nashville Business Journal's "Best of the Bar." He's a longtime member of the Tennessee Bankers Association's Bank Lawyers Committee and was a contributing author of Director's Handbook: A Field Guide to 101 Situations Commonly Encountered in the Boardroom, published by the American Bar Association in 2017. Trace serves as general counsel and as a board member of the law firm.

Mayor David Briley, Ernest "Rip" Patton (one of the original Freedom Riders), Stacey Garrett Koju and Charles W. Bone, the firm's co-founders, were among the featured speakers. Aside from the speakers, this year's event also served as the premiere screening of a new short film, titled Perspectives. The film was commissioned by Bone McAllester Norton in collaboration with Centric Screenworks, a Centric Entertainment Group company, and featured Nashville youth and their perspectives on privilege, prejudice and human dignity in today's society.
The law firm also celebrated its recent success in helping Cyntoia Brown win her bid for clemency by sharing some of her thoughts about the present-day importance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the importance of really listening to young people. The full text of her message shared this morning can be seen locally in The Tennessean and nationally in USA Today.

Researchers Use Return-Oriented Programming to Manipulate eVoting Machine (August 12, 2009)
Researchers from the University of Michigan, the University of California, San Diego, and Princeton University have discovered that the Sequoia AVC Advantage electronic voting machine is vulnerable to an attack that can alter voting tallies. The attack circumvents established security measures aimed at preventing unauthorized code execution. The technique is known as return-oriented programming. The machines were designed to run code only if it is stored on read-only memory chips. The researchers figured out how to get around that problem by "reassembl(ing) programming expressions already found in the targeted software in a way that gives (them) the ability to take complete control over the machine." The machines are widely used in New Jersey, and are also used in parts of Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Virginia; the voting machine that the researchers used were acquired legally over the Internet.

[Editor's Note (Schultz): Voting machine technology has justly been demeaned. Voters should thus be extremely concerned. At the same time, however, it is important to realize that many of these vulnerabilities are exploitable only if a perpetrator has physical access to a voting machine. ]
Quantcast Casts Out Flash Cookies in Wake of Report (August 12, 2009)
In the wake of research published about Flash cookies, online tracking company Quantcast has stopped its practice of recreating customers' cookies with Flash after users deleted the regular cookies. The researchers showed that some websites were circumventing customers' wishes not to be tracked by creating the flash cookies, which are not affected by browser privacy settings. Quantcast made the change to its practices on Tuesday afternoon after the research was published. According to the report, more than half of 100 sites scrutinized for the research used Flash cookies. Adobe has provided instructions for managing Flash cookies on its website.

[Editor's Note (Ranum): The active content ("run whatever some guy over there tells you!") model has always been a threat; there is simply no way around it. I'm only surprised that it has taken so long for Flash to have a spotlight shined on it. If you want to see something really scary, read about the Flash "fscommand" operator - basically it's the equivalent of system(3) in UNIX circa 1985. Running Flash in your browser is the equivalent of giving a command prompt to everyone who owns every website you visit.

Prison Sentence for Personal Data Theft Through LimeWire (August 12 & 13, 2009)
A Seattle man has been sentenced to 39 months in prison for using the LimeWire filesharing network to steal personal information, including tax returns and bank statements. Frederick Eugene Wood searched LimeWire users' hard drives for specific terms, like "statement" and "account," then downloaded the documents and used the information to commit identity fraud. Investigators found personal data belonging to 120 people on Wood's computer. His wallet contained eight driver's licenses, each bearing a different identity.

UK Convicts Two for Refusing to Surrender Encryption Keys (August 11, 2009)
In the UK, two people have been convicted for refusing to surrender encryption keys. The details of the crimes have not been released. In October 2007, Part Three of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act of 2000 took effect; section 49 gives law enforcement authorities in the UK the power to demand decryption keys. According to information from the Annual Report of the Chief Surveillance Commissioner to the Prime Minister and Scottish Ministers, between April 1, 2008 and March 31, 2009 there were 26 applications for service under a notice under section 49. Of those, 17 were granted, 15 were served and two people were convicted.

Judge Grants Preliminary Injunction Barring Sale of RealDVD (August 12, 2009)
A US District Court judge has granted a preliminary injunction that prohibits RealNetworks from selling its RealDVD software. The program allows people to copy movies to their computer hard drives. The ruling extends a temporary injunction that was granted when a group of Hollywood movie studios filed a lawsuit against RealNetworks last fall. Judge Marilyn Patel wrote that while RealDVD offers consumers a way to back up their DVDs, it still violates federal law. The program does not allow consumers to burn new DVDs of the copies they make.

Apple Issues OS X Updates to Fix BIND Vulnerability (August 13, 2009)
Apple has released a security update for Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard and 10.4.11 Tiger to address a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability in BIND. The flaw could be exploited to crash a vulnerable BIND DNS server with a maliciously crafted dynamic update message. Apple became aware of the vulnerability just two weeks ago. Exploits for the vulnerability have already been found in the wild.

[Editor's Note (Ullrich): This is a new and good pattern for Apple. Typically, Apple publishes large patch sets at irregular times. As a result, open source software, like Bind which is included with OS X, falls behind and is not patched as fast as it should. In this particular case, Apple issues a patch just for this vulnerability within a few days of its usual large patch set instead of keeping OS X users waiting and vulnerable. ]
Microsoft Fixes 19 Vulnerabilities in Nine Security Bulletins (August 11 & 12, 2009)
On Tuesday August 11, Microsoft issued nine security bulletins to address a total of 19 vulnerabilities in Windows, the .Net Framework, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft ISA Server, Microsoft BizTalk Server, and Remote Desktop Client for Mac. Five of the bulletins were rated critical. One of the bulletins addresses a vulnerability in Web Office Components that has been used in attacks since June. Another bulletin addresses five security flaws in Windows components that use a vulnerable version of the ATL library template.

WordPress blogging software has been updated to address a flaw that allowed attackers to reset administrator passwords. Prior to the fix, maliciously crafted URLs could be used to circumvent password reset security verification checks; a new password would be sent to the account owner. The situation could prove serious only if the attackers were to have access to the administrators' email accounts to retrieve the new passwords.

China Will Not Enforce Green Dam Mandate (August 13 & 14, 2009)
China has backed off from a mandate issued in May requiring that Internet filtering software known as Green Dam-Youth Escort be installed on or accompany all PCs sold in or shipped to that country. Green Dam was designed to prevent children from accessing inappropriate content on the Internet, but the software was also found to block sites the Chinese government might view as politically inflammatory, such as Falun Gong. In addition, California software company Solid Oak plans to take legal action over the filtering software because it maintains Green Dam contains stolen code.

Yuan Ju pays tribute to the NHS and all those who have contributed to it.
We are celebrating the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the NHS. In my opinion, this system is the only remaining guardian angel of the ultimate human civilisation: It is probably the only large-scale social system that is equal to all, whether he or she is a billionaire or a nameless person. Everything else in the world seems to have given way to money.
be based on clinical need, not ability to pay.
The main funding sources of the NHS are general taxation and National Insurance contributions, rather than commercial insurance or service charges. The total annual expenditure is about £140 billion, serving 65 million people (so on average, the cost per person is about £2,000). It is the world's largest public health system with 1.6 million employees, placing it in the world's top five employers, along with the US Department of Defense, McDonald's, Wal-Mart and the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The NHS covers the entire UK, with NHS England being the largest component, employing 1.2 million employees, including 150,000 hospital doctors, 40,000 family doctors, 300,000 nurses and 20,000 first-aid personnel, across 1,600 hospitals and special care centers.
The fair and efficient high-quality service provided by such a large system definitely justifies its current investment and expenses. Compared with 7% of GDP in the UK, this figure in the US is 16%. In terms of per capita health expenditure, PPP adjusted, the United States, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Austria top the list, while the UK is almost the lowest in developed countries, lower than France and Japan. An important reason behind this is that it is not eroded by private corporate profits.
Despite all the difficulties that this system faces, I have received the most sincere and genuine smiles from NHS medical staff. There has never been any financial concern there, which has always made me feel a sort of unreality in a world dominated by commercial interests. It is almost the best system on this planet for equity and efficiency, and it is one key reason why I think Britain is perhaps the most civilised country. My personal stand, shared by many friends and colleagues, is to support its development without any reservation and I am willing to accept further increases to the income tax rate if this is specifically for the NHS.
There are two sectors in which I am firmly opposed to privatisation: education and health care. The former safeguards the initial justice of a society, while the latter protects its procedural justice. As for other experiences during one's progress through life, it seems reasonable to leave these to endowment, talent and effort.
All the doctrines and theories that advocate a commercial insurance system and believe the market will promote competition, lower prices, and improve quality in these areas of public life are either naive mistakes or insidious deception. On the contrary, in my view markets for non-essential commodities and services can be completely privatised, and competition will have a significant positive effect towards efficiency and welfare.
Many people who have a reasonable amount of understanding of microeconomics might think that market structure can affect price and lead to improvements in quality. That is superficial. A competitive market does not solve all problems, but its performance is highly correlated with the attributes of the goods. If a certain commodity has a very low price elasticity of demand, even with more competitors and fierce competition, it will not place significant influence on its price.
The reforms and practices in the energy sector (e.g., gas and electricity), as well as in the commercial health insurance market, have eloquently proved this. Health care reforms in the Netherlands, Germany, and the Nordic countries offer further examples. Despite the large number of insurance institutions and strict governmental regulations, insurance premiums have soared year after year, while medical care and medication are interfered with by insurance institutions. This is not even to mention the situation in the US.

Die Oxford Canadians waren ein 1905 gegründetes englisches Eishockeyteam, das hauptsächlich aus kanadischen Studenten der University of Oxford bestand. Das Team galt bis 1914 als eines der stärksten in Europa und nahm an diversen internationalen Turnieren teil, unter anderem an der Meisterschaft des internationalen Verbandes LIHG, wo man als Vertretung Kanadas verstanden wurde. Die Spielweise des Teams machte zudem das kanadische Eishockey-Regelwerk populär, welches 1911 von der LIHG übernommen wurde.

Vorgeschichte
An der Oxford University gab es nach eigenen Angaben bereits 1885, gesichert aber ab 1900, eine Eishockeymannschaft namens Oxford University Blues und die ersten Varsity-Matches gegen die University of Cambridge. Allerdings ähnelte das Spiel teilweise eher dem heutigen Bandy. Mit dem seit 1902 vergebenen Rhodes-Stipendium kamen kanadische Studierende nach Oxford, von denen viele bereits zu Hause Eishockey spielen gelernt hatten. Über die Zulassung dieser Spieler zu den Varsity-Matches gab es Streit zwischen Oxford und Cambridge, schließlich wurden die kanadischen Studenten aus den Oxford Blues ausgeschlossen.

Gründung und nationale Erfolge
1905 bildeten die Kanadier daher eine eigene Mannschaft, die Oxford Canadians. Bereits im März 1906 traten sie gegen den amtierenden Meister Princes Ice Hockey Club um die English Club Championship an und unterlagen mit 4:8 und 4:3. Ein Jahr später, am 16. März 1907, gewannen sie mit 3:2 den Titel gegen den Princes Ice Hockey Club. Weitere Meisterschaften gelangen 1910, 1911 und 1913, während 1908, 1909, 1912 und 1914 jeweils Princes siegreich war. Der Spielstil der Kanadier kam aber nicht bei allen Beobachtern gut an:

Für die Kanadier hingegen war das europäische Eishockey ein "Sport der Adligen". Canadians-Spieler Gustave Lanctot schrieb 1913:

Internationale Turniere und LIHG
In der Saison 1909/10 begannen die Oxford Canadians damit, zu Turnieren und Freundschaftsspielen auf den europäischen Kontinent zu reisen. Das erste Turnier war die Europameisterschaft im Januar 1910 in Les Avants, an der die Canadians außer Konkurrenz teilnahmen. Gegen Deutschland, vertreten durch den Berliner Schlittschuhclub, Belgien und die Schweiz gab es klare Siege, dagegen gab es kein Spiel gegen England, das durch den Princes Ice Hockey Club vertreten wurde.

Während der Tour wurde der Name "Oxford Canadians" angenommen. Zudem begann die Mannschaft, ein rotes Ahornblatt auf ihrem Dress zu tragen. Die Oxford Canadians waren damit die erste Eishockeymannschaft, die das kanadische Nationalsymbol auf der Brust trug. 1965 wurde die kanadische Nationalflagge mit einem Ahornblatt darauf eingeführt.

Im Winter 1910/11 gewannen die Canadians das Eishockeyturnier in Brüssel (im Dezember 1910) und den Coupe de Chamonix im Januar 1911 sowie Spiele gegen den Berliner Schlittschuhclub, den Akademischen Sportclub Dresden und den SK Slavia Prag.

1911 wurden die Mannschaft in den Internationalen Verband LIHG aufgenommen, dem heutigen Weltverband IIHF. Er galt dort als Vertretung Kanadas – offizieller Name war Canada (Oxford) – und sorgte mit für die Annahme der kanadischen Eishockey-Regeln durch die LIHG am 14. März 1911.

Ende 1911 gewannen die Canadians das Eishockeyturnier in Brüssel. Bei der anschließenden Deutschlandtour besiegte das Team den DHC Hannover und den MTV München, gegen den Berliner Schlittschuhclub gab es zwei Remis. Das Turnier in München am 10. Januar 1912 schlossen die Canadians als Sieger ab, während sie beim Coupe de Chamonix 1912 nur Zweite hinter dem Club des Patineurs de Paris wurde. Schließlich nahmen sie an der ersten LIHG-Meisterschaft teil, die vom 20. bis 24. März 1912 in Brüssel, Belgien stattfand. Das Turnier wurde zeitgenössisch in Europa als Weltmeisterschaft bezeichnet. Die Canadians unterlagen dabei dem Berliner Schlittschuhclub, der Deutschland vertrat; spielten gegen den Brussels IHSC (Belgien) unentschieden und beendeten das Turnier auf dem zweiten Platz.

Weltkrieg und Auflösung
Nach dem Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs 1914 kam der Eishockey-Spielbetrieb zu erliegen. Einige der Canadians-Spieler kämpften auch im Krieg. Ab 1920 wurde wieder Eishockey gespielt, 1921 der Oxford University Ice Hockey Club gegründet. Die Kanadier konnten nun in der regulären Mannschaft der Oxford University spielen, die Oxford Canadians waren Geschichte.

Ebenso 1920 wurde der "richtige" kanadische Verband in die LIHG aufgenommen und nahm, vertreten durch Winnipeg Falcons, am Eishockeyturnier der Olympischen Sommerspiele 1920 teil – Kanada gewann das Turnier, welches später zu ersten Weltmeisterschaft erklärt wurde.
