S. Korean chain reopens cinemas in China as coronavirus slows
BEIJING, July 20 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's leading cinema chain CGV reopened in parts of China Monday, as the country allowed movie theaters to resume operation after six months of closure amid the slowdown of the new coronavirus.
CGV resumed business at 21 branches in 12 Chinese cities, including Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Nanjing and Chengdu, according to its operator CJ China Ltd., a unit of CJ Group.
"The local governments are permitting branches to resume after conducting quarantine surveys. All of our theaters are expected to normally operate within this week," a CJ China official said.
The multiplex chain operates 140 theaters in 70 cities across China and is known to have lost some 70 billion won (US$58 million) due to the pandemic. The reopening schedules for CGV's theaters in Beijing and other cities have yet to be fixed.
The Chinese government ordered the shutdown of all theaters nationwide in late January to contain the spread of COVID-19, prior to the Lunar New Year holiday.
In March, the government was scheduled to approve reopening of cinemas in big cities, such as Shanghai, as part of efforts to revitalize its virus-hit economy but scrapped the plan as concerns over the resurgence of the virus grew.
According to Chinese media reports, 376 theaters reopened in 120 cities on Monday. China reported 22 new cases of the coronavirus on Sunday, raising its total caseload to 83,682.
Under the country's anti-COVID-19 measures, moviegoers have to wear face masks and are prohibited from eating or drinking in theaters. They also have to keep one meter of distance from other moviegoers who come as separate groups and reserve tickets under their real names online.
Tickets sales should not exceed 30 percent of the theater's capacity, while the running time of each movie cannot exceed two hours.
The Shanghai International Film Festival, one of Asia's largest, is scheduled to take place from Saturday to Aug. 2 in the Chinese city. The festival's organizing committee said the red carpet event will be canceled due to the coronavirus.

I've never really figured out what the songs of the New Pornographers are about. Bandleader Carl Newman writes idiosyncratic, impressionistic verses drawn from (one must assume) personal experiences and tumultuous emotions, but the results often are lyrically abstract. However, this hasn't hampered my enjoyment of this band's glorious, explosive and cathartic power-pop—charmingly obtuse songs carried on the wings of beautifully arranged melodies.
There are few songs more infectious than the lovely first single, "Crash Years," which comes complete with muscular strings and a whistled melody. "Your Hands (Together)" seems to be stuck on permanent repeat in my head and on my CD player, its monster riffs and raucous sing-along lyrics a celebration of big-band art pop.
Fans who may have lamented singer (and former Tucsonan) Neko Case's diminished role on the group's last album, Challengers, in 2007, will rejoice to hear her dominating once again, lending her powerful pipes to the full, open-throated melodies of "Sweet Talk, Sweet Talk" and "My Shepherd," and nailing her duet with Newman on "Valkyrie in the Roller Disco." Singer-songwriter Dan Bejar (the guiding force behind Destroyer) normally contributes a couple of eccentric numbers to each New Pornos album, but he bucks that trend with the surprisingly straightforward "Silver Jenny Dollar." Its concise hooks will smack listeners between the eyes; it has a good beat, and you can dance to it.
Purist fans may complain that nothing the band has done lately tops Twin Cinema or Electric Version, but this one proves they still have the skills to thrill.

Q: Eclipse RCP/JavaFX 2 - Generating product I'm trying to generate a RCP application embedding JavaFX 2.0 application using e(fx)clipse with eclipse sdk 4.2.2.  All is working good except the product generation, is there a way around ?
I tried using the nightly build with the 4.3 eclipse SDK but it says that the Bundle "org.eclipse.fx.ui.workbench3" is missing.  Also the default generated plug-in application with JavaFX is not as complete as with the eclipse 4.2.2 SDK. So I really would like to know if it is possible to generate a product using the 4.2.2 release of e(fx)clipse.

A: So why don't you file a bug if things are not working in the nightly builds?
Anyways I think the problem was that the wiki was not up-to-date. You need to create a custom target platform to get the fx.ui.workbench3-bundle. I've updated the wiki at https://wiki.eclipse.org/Efxclipse/Tutorials/Tutorial2.
Do yourself a favor and use the nightly builds. All namespaces have shifted and you won't get any support for the pre eclipse versions!

Senate's Most Conservative Democrat Issues Lame Plea to Shield His Colleagues From Accountability
Katherine Krueger
Welcome to WHAT NOW, a morning round-up of the news/fresh horrors that await you today.
Senator Joe Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia who often votes with Republicans, will ask his colleagues to pledge not to campaign against each other, CNN reported.
"If you go to work and you know somebody's been in your state campaigning against you—it might be a person you've worked with and you considered a friend—I can tell you, that deteriorates that trust and that friendship level that you had before," Manchin said in an interview with the network on Monday night.
He went on to say the practice creates a "hostile environment" that senators won't forget, even if the perceived slight happened "five or 10 years ago."
The message isn't a new one from Manchin, who faces an uphill bid for re-election, but it's slated to come less than a week after Vice President Mike Pence criticized the senator for voting against the Republican tax bill. Manchin responded by saying Pence's remarks "are exactly why Washington Sucks [sic]."
Agreeing not to campaign against a sitting colleague is a decision perhaps even more mired in crony establishment politics than being dispatched to campaign for someone. The Senate is not a gentlemen's club, and senators should not be shielded from accountability by their peers just because they go to the same gym. You're going to hear a lot of talk from so-called "moderates" about this sort of bipartisan unity in the run-up to November, but there's a better idea: primary everyone who signs Manchin's pledge and, while we're at it, everyone who voted to sell out DACA recipients by ending the government shutdown.
Donald Trump is reviewing whether to allow the publication of the Democratic rebuttal to Devin Nunes' big-nothing memo after the House Intelligence Committee voted to release it on Monday evening.
The House is expected to vote today on yet another short-term spending bill to avert yet another government shutdown. The bill would fund the government until March 23. Meanwhile, the Senate is spending today taking up a defense spending bill. Priorities!
Before he joined the administration, Raj Shah, who's now the deputy White House press secretary, called Trump "a deplorable" and said the infamous Access Hollywood tape provided "some justice," New York magazine reported.
I'm sorry but please absolutely do less, Justin Trudeau.

An opposition commentator explores the stance taken by former President László Sólyom and claims that he defined Fidesz as one of the evils in the upcoming election. He takes it for granted that Sólyom considers the Socialist-led Left an evil, but believes that the former President now sees it as the lesser one.
László Sólyom, formerly a member of the centre-right MDF and founding president of the Constitutional Court, was originally nominated for the Presidency in 2005 by an environmental watchdog group, which later helped found the LMP. The Socialists nominated Katalin Szili (who currently leads a small splinter party) but the Free Democrats were not willing to support her, which made it possible for Fidesz to have him elected. The presidential office is mostly symbolic in Hungary but Sólyom tried to turn his presidency into an active force in politics through statements critical of both governments in office during his tenure. His relations with the Fidesz-led government became especially strained after Fidesz accepted a new constitution and barred the Constitutional Court from ruling over taxes. In a recent interview with Origo, he suggested that voters dissatisfied with the two big blocks should vote for smaller parties, and considered it morally wrong to choose the lesser evil. It is generally taken for granted that the former President primarily addressed his plea to those who want to vote for the Socialists and their allies despite their misgivings (See BudaPost, March 27).
In Népszabadság, Miklós Hargitai acknowledges that the former President took care not to side with any political party; nevertheless, he interprets Sólyom's remark as a clear indication that he now considers Fidesz, the party that elected him as President, one of the two evils. He does not explicitly contradict Sólyom's statement that voting for evil, even if it is the lesser one, is wrong. But he believes that the present government is leading Hungary back to a society where loyalty is the only key to success, and considers it therefore the greater evil. He admits that the former President is right in advocating a vote "for good rather than the lesser evil". However, without actually rejecting Sólyom's plea in favour of smaller parties, Hargitai declares that voting for the greater evil is unpardonable.

Yet another way to restore all the default file associations for a specific program is to reinstall it or to do a repair installation. While this may sound a bit drastic, it sometimes may be the more convenient route to go when an application or application suite supports lots of different file types and are not exposed in the �Set your default programs� section.
The better quality free images can also be over-used, and their effectiveness may be diluted the more times you see an image appearing in different places. Suppliers of free images are also unlikely to have inspection processes in place, which in turn can increase the likelihood of a dispute arising.

How: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything...in Business (and in Life)
by Dov Seidman
The flood of information and unprecedented transparency reshaping today's business world has dramatically changed the rules of the game. It's no longer what you do that sets you apart from others, but how you do what you do. Whats are commodities, easily duplicated or reverse-engineered. Sustainable advantage and enduring success-for both companies and the people who work for them-now lie in the realm of how, the new frontier of conduct. For more than a decade, Dov Seidman's pioneering organization, LRN, has helped some of the world's most respected companies build "do it right," winning cultures. Seidman's distinct vision of the world, business, and human endeavor has enabled more than ten million people doing business in over 100 countries to outbehave the competition. In HOW: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything ...in Business (and in Life), Dov Seidman shares his unique approach with you. Through entertaining anecdotes, surprising case studies, cutting-edge research in a wide range of fields, and revealing interviews with a diverse group of business leaders, experts, and everyday people on the front lines, this book explores how we think, how we behave, and how we govern ourselves to uncover the values-driven "hows" of 21st-century success. Divided into four comprehensive parts, this insightful guide: * Exposes the forces and factors that have fundamentally changed the world in which business operates, placing a new focus on the hows with which we conduct ourselves * Provides frameworks to help you understand these hows and implement them in powerful and productive ways * Helps you channel your actions and decisions to thrive uniquely within today's new business realities * Sheds light on the systems of how-the dynamics between people that shape organizational culture-and introduces a bold new vision for winning through self-governance The qualities that many once thought of as "soft"-trust, integrity, values, and reputation-are now the hard currency of business success and the ultimate drivers of efficiency, productivity, and profitability. With in-depth insights and practical advice, HOW will help you bring excellence and significance to your business endeavors-and your life-and refocus your efforts in powerful new ways. If you want to stand out, to thrive in our fast changing, hyperconnected, and hypertransparent world, open this book and discover HOW. Dov Seidman's professional career has focused on how companies and their people can operate in both a principled and profitable way. He is the Founder, Chairman, and CEO of LRN. Leading companies such as Disney, Dow Chemical, eBay, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, Raytheon, and 3M turn to LRN to help management govern more effectively and workers do the right things the right way, even in the most challenging of situations. Dov is a Harvard Law School graduate who also earned a bachelor's and master's degree in philosophy from UCLA, and a BA with honors in philosophy, politics, and economics from Oxford University.

VI Lubelski batalion etapowy – oddział wojsk wartowniczych i etapowych w okresie II Rzeczypospolitej pełniący między innymi służbę ochronną na granicy polsko-sowieckiej.

Formowanie i zmiany organizacyjne
Formowanie batalionu rozpoczęto na przełomie 1918-1919 roku. Otrzymał on nazwę okręgu generalnego, w którym powstał i kolejny numer porządkowy oznaczany cyfrą rzymską. Do batalionu wcielono żołnierzy starszych wiekiem i o słabszej kondycji fizycznej. Oficerowie i podoficerowie nie mieli większego doświadczenia bojowego. Batalion nie posiadał broni ciężkiej, a broń indywidualną żołnierzy stanowiły stare karabiny różnych wzorów z niewielką ilością amunicji. W lutym 1921 bataliony etapowe przejęły ochronę granicy polsko-rosyjskiej. Początkowo pełniły ją na linii kordonowej, a w maju zostały przesunięte bezpośrednio na linię graniczną z zadaniem zamknięcia wszystkich dróg, przejść i mostów.
We wrześniu 1920 batalion znajdował się w strukturze 3 Armii, stacjonował w Dorohusku i Rudce, liczył 7 oficerów oraz 346 podoficerów i szeregowców.

W 1921 bataliony etapowe ochraniające granicę przekształcono w bataliony celne.

Służba etapowa
Celem zwolnienia wojsk liniowych ze służby kordonowej i szczelniejszego zamknięcia granicy państwa, w marcu 1921 Ministerstwo Spraw Wojskowych zarządziło obsadzenie Kordonu Naczelnego Dowództwa WP przez Bataliony Etapowe. II Lbe przejął stanowiska od II/43 pp i stanowił obsadę miejscowości Korzec.

Obsada personalna
 Dowódcy batalionu
 kpt. Stanisław Kobyliński (był IX 1920)

8 lipca 1920 roku zostali przeniesieni do baonu niżej wymienieni oficerowie:
 por. piech. Stanisław Kobyliński – dowódca baonu
 por. piech. Bazyli Celiński
 ppor. piech. Michał Glass
 ppor. piech. Stanisław Ogórek
 ppor. piech. Józef Królik
 ppor. piech. Zygmunt Łabacz
 ppor. piech. Wacław Niedźwiedzki
 ppor. lek. Zygmunt Kornelstein – lekarz

AB  - The crystal and molecular structure of [Cu(ampf)(ClO4)(MeOH)(2)]ClO4, (1), ampf = N, N-bis(4-acetyl-5-methylpyrazol-3-yl)formamidine, determined by X-ray crystallography is described and compared with the structurally related copper(II) complexes, formed under similar experimental conditions, using Cu-II salts with different anions. The complex formation is discussed in view of the structures of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes with the same organic ligand and different anions, also formed under similar reaction conditions. Solvent molecules coordinated to the central atom play an important role in biologic systems. To get a better insight into the desolvation mechanism, in this study the desolvation pattern of 1 is presented. As in literature little attention is paid to the desolvation mechanism of solvate complexes, the desolvation mechanism of three, potentially biologically active isostructural pairs of octahedral Ni-II and Co-II compounds with ampf and dmpc (3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine) ligands are evaluated and compared with the desolvation of 1. The results of the thermal data are discussed on the basis of structural features of the compounds. The minor differences in structures of the related compounds cannot be straightforwardly connected with the different solvent evaporation mechanism. To explain the differences found in desolvation pattern in isostructural Co-II and Ni-II complexes the Jahn-Teller effect is proposed.

As in literature little attention is paid to the desolvation mechanism of solvate complexes, the desolvation mechanism of three, potentially biologically active isostructural pairs of octahedral Ni-II and Co-II compounds with ampf and dmpc (3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine) ligands are evaluated and compared with the desolvation of 1. The results of the thermal data are discussed on the basis of structural features of the compounds. The minor differences in structures of the related compounds cannot be straightforwardly connected with the different solvent evaporation mechanism. To explain the differences found in desolvation pattern in isostructural Co-II and Ni-II complexes the Jahn-Teller effect is proposed.",

AB  - The complex formation of 3,5-dimethylpyrazole-1-carboxamidinium nitrate, HL center dot HNO(3) with ammine complexes of cadmium(II) halides (Cl, Br, I) and zinc(II) chloride has been investigated under self-controlled reaction conditions. The complexes have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and quantum chemical calculations. In the case of cadmium bromide and iodide salts, isostructural complexes with composition of [CdX(2)(HL)(2)] were formed. With CdCl(2) a binuclear octahedral [Cd(2)(HL)(4)(mu-Cl)(2)](NO(3))(2) complex is obtained. Zinc(II) chloride with HL center dot HNO(3) gives [Zn(HL)(2)Cl]NO(3), the zinc center exhibiting severely distorted five-coordinate stereochemistry, intermediate between an ideal trigonal bipyramid and a square pyramid. The course of complex formation as well as the thermal properties of the compounds has been explained using the HSAB principle. The assignment of the FT-IR spectra was supported by DFT computations.

AB  - The work is concerned with the crystal and molecular structures of zinc(II) and mercury(II) complexes with 4-acetyl-3-amino-5-methylpyrazole (aamp) of the coordination formulae [Zn(NCS)(2)(aaMP)(2)] and (HaaMP)(2)[Hg(SCN)(4)]. The zinc(II) complex was obtained by the reaction of a warm methanolic solution of aamp with a mixture of zinc(II) nitrate and ammonium thiocyanate, whereas the mercury(II) complex was prepared by the reaction of a warm methanolic solution of aamp and a warm, slightly acidified aqueous solution of [Hg(SCN)(4)](2-). Both complexes have a tetrahedral geometry, which in the case of zinc complex is formed by monodentate coordination of two aamp molecules and two isothiocyanate groups. The Zn(II) and Hg(II) atoms have significantly deformed coordination geometry. In both crystal structures the pyrazole derivative has a planar form, probably stabilized by an intramolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bond. Apart from the X-ray structural analysis, the isolated complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, conductometric measurements and thermal analysis.

The presence of water in the reaction system leads to incorporation of water molecules into the crystal lattice and I was formed. In all anhydrous environment, due to addition of CH(OEt)3, the fusion of two aamp) was induced through their NH2-groups, incorporating the methine group of CH(OEt)(3). As a result, complex 2, containing an adenino-mimetic NNO pharmacophore ligand, was obtained. The crystal and molecular structure of both compounds was determined. The coordination of aamp in I was achieved through N2 of the pyrazole ring. On the contrary, in 2, an unusual coordination mode of pyrazole is found: one of the pyrazole moieties, due to steric hindrance, coordinates through the oxygen atom of the acetyl group instead of N2. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and electronic spectra. For 2 a comprehensive IR spectral analysis is given. The metalligand interactions in 2 are analyzed by quantum chemical computations. The desolvation mechanism of both compounds is discussed in detail. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The ammonia evolving gradually from [Zn(NH3)(4)]Cl-2 ensured a mild gradually increasing basic pH during the synthesis which caused a cleavage of the 1-N-substituent. Moreover, the changing pH controlled the pyrazolate anion-neutral ligand equilibrium, and in this way the formation of the precipitate complex. The structure of the complex was investigated by X-ray diffraction and quantum chemical computations. The complex was characterized in detail by FT-IR-spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The bonding interactions between Zn2+ and the ligands were analysed on the basis of the computed data. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB  - Synthesis of a new nickel(II) complex, [Ni(Ph(2)PzTSC-H)(2)] with 1,3-diphenylpyrazole-4-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (Ph(2)PzTSC), is described. The compounds have been characterized by elemental and thermal analysis, molar conductivity and spectral (UV-Vis, IR, H-1 NMR, and C-13 NMR) measurements. In the case of complex the magnetic measurement has been also performed. Crystal and molecular structures of both the free ligand and the complex have been determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. It was found that the ligand coordinates in a bidentate NS fashion, in its deprotonated thioenolato form. The cis-square-planar geometry of the complex is significantly distorted tetrahedrally. The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) study has been performed to obtain geometrical and structural informations on similar nickel(II) complexes in order to compare structural data.

AB  - In the present paper we report the synthesis as well as the structural and vibrational characterisation of the HgL2Cl2 complex ( L = 3,5-dimethyl-1-thiocarboxamide). The crystal and molecular structures of both L and the HgL2Cl2 complex were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The coordination propensity of L to HgCl2 was explored by quantum chemical calculations. We found the preference of the monodentate coordination of L to HgCl2 through the sulfur atom ( instead of the pyridine nitrogen) to be in agreement with Pearsons acid - base character of the atoms involved and the steric effects. The vibrational properties of HgL2Cl2 were evaluated by a joint FT-IR and quantum chemical analysis. In addition, the thermal decomposition of the complex and ligand is reported.

44 year-old man presented with fulminant epigastralgia and dypnea postprandially and was diagnosed as giant esophageal hiatal hernia by CT scan in a clinic. He was referred to our hospital for further examination and treatment. CT scan showed whole stomach, almost whole small intestine, right and transverse colon and pancreas prolapsed above diaphragm, and type IV esophageal hiatal hernia was diagnosed.We performed elective open hiatal hernia repair. Operative findings were a giant hiatal hernia, defined as a hiatal defect 10 cm, massive gastrointestinal prolapse and winding esophagus. We were able to pull the stomach, small intestine, colon fully back to abdominal cavity relatively easily, but pancreas together with the duodenum stuck on left thoracic cavity was hard to deliver. The pancreas was carefully detached and finally deliverd out of the thoracic cavity. We narrowed the hiatal arch, performed Nissen's fundoplication and additional reinforcement of the crura with mesh. A giant hiatal hernia is a hernia that includes at least 30% of the stomach in the chest, although a uniform definition does not exist. Most commonly, a giant hiatal hernia is a type III hernia with a sliding and paraesophageal component. A giant hiatal hernia has a risk of volvulus and strangulation of the stomach though often undetected for years before this life-threatening event.
Many reports for a giant hiatal hernia have been seen, but a giant hiatal hernia with pancreatic prolapse is extremely rare and delivering pancreas was thought to be most difficult point during the operative procedure.


As most of you know, my mom, Misty, has stage four breast cancer. After going through 7 rounds of chemo and radiation, she's still managing to keep the cancer at bay. However, recently she was infected by Cellulitis which is an infection that invades the skin. Due to her extremely weak immune system, she needs to get rid of this infection as soon as possible. Her breast has turned black and blue and they did emergency surgery to remove the implant and cut away some of the infection. There's not enough skin to sew her back up so she is left with a huge open wound that she must dress and clean daily and the infection is still present in her body.
The doctors are unsure of when she will be released from the hospital and so I am flying out to see her and be with her until she is out of the hospital and then stay with her at home until she is 100% again. Thankfully, Misty has AMAZING friends and an entire support group who have been there for her. One of her friends paid for my $580 one-way ticket to go see my mom but I want to make sure I pay her back with donations from my friends and my mom's friends so that the entire burden of the plane ticket does not lie on one person. Also, flying into Savannah is a bit pricey since it's a small airport. The total amount I am asking for is the flight there and the flight back (both around $580).
ddd is working on selecting a charity so you can support As most of you know, my mom.


The Mueller report has been released, with 400 pages of slightly redacted material detailing special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. While attorney general William Barr has said that the report found no evidence of collusion between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia in that effort, plenty of questions remain. Beyond collusion, the investigation looked into whether the president sought to obstruct justice by firing former FBI James Comey over his investigation into Russian meddling — a firing that spurred the creation of the Mueller investigation itself.
Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., is tired of waiting. The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said Thursday that he would issue a subpoena to obtain the full version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference into the 2016 presidential election and whether Donald Trump cooperated with those efforts. "Because Congress requires this material in order perform our constitutionally-mandated responsibilities, I will issue a subpoena for the full report and the underlying materials," Nadler said in a statement posted to Medium that followed a press conference by Attorney General William Barr and the public release of a redacted version of Mueller's report.

Newcomer cybergang Orangeworm targeting healthcare sector
Doug Olenick April 24, 2018
The healthcare industry is under attack by a new cybergang named Orangeworm, which is striking with the Kwampirs backdoor.
The previously unknown group was identified by Symantec as it has systematically attacked healthcare sector and affiliated groups, primarily large organizations, in the United States, Europe and Asia. The related victims include equipment vendors, pharmaceuticals and IT solution providers for healthcare, Symantec reported.
Orangeworm does not exclusively target healthcare, but that sector receives the majority of the group's attention with Symantec finding that 40 percent of its attacks hitting that industry, 15 percent going after IT, manufacturing 15 percent, logistics 8 percent and the remainder against unknown targets.
"The Kwampirs malware was found on machines which had software installed for the use and control of high-tech imaging devices such as X-Ray and MRI machines. Additionally, Orangeworm was observed to have an interest in machines used to assist patients in completing consent forms for required procedures," the report stated.
The general consensus is the malicious actors are attempting corporate espionage. Attribution, as always, is difficult, but Symantec believes Orangeworm is likely operated either by an individual or a small group and not a nation-state actor.
Jon DiMaggio, senior threat intelligence analyst for Symantec Security Response, told SC Media that not only is attribution difficult, but little is known regarding how the initial infection is accomplished.
"We are still trying to validate this information. We do have a theory, however, which is based on evidence collected in our investigation. We theorize that the victims were initially infected by phishing emails, as well as compromising medical devices that had open connections to the public facing internet. Since some medical devices run legacy technologies to run medical software, it would leave the systems vulnerable to older, easily exploitable vulnerabilities," he said.
Once inside the malware deploys the backdoor Trojan.Kwampirs to provide the attacker with remote access to the computer. A copy of the malware's primary DLL payload is then extracted and obfuscated with some extra code before it is dropped. The software then creates persistence by loading the main payload into memory so it will be accessed upon reboot.
The attacker, through the backdoor, also collects the system's basic network adapter information, system version information, and language settings. Symantec researchers believe this data is used to determine whether the target is of high value or possibly a honeypot.
Once the target computer is judged to be a worthwhile victim, the backdoor is spread laterally to other devices on the network. It does this by copying itself over network shares, a method Symantec recognizes as old-fashioned, but one that will work well on systems running older operating systems like XP. An activity of which many healthcare facilities are guilty.
When this is accomplished Kwampirs extracts information about the networks, connected servers, the operating systems in use, hostname, routing table for network interfaces, configured MAC addresses, IP addresses and list of local accounts with administrative access.
Kwampirs also uses what Symantec described as a particularly "noisy" method of searching for a command and control server, essentially pinging a large number of C2 servers in its list until it finds one that is functioning. This makes Symantec's researchers believe the malware's owners are not concerned about being spotted, which most likely means the current attack methodology is successful and does not have to be altered.
Even though Symantec is just releasing its knowledge of the Orangeworm group to the public it has been tracking the malware and helping its victims for several years. Symantec first spotted the group in 2016, but a further examination of Symantec's telemetry allowed researchers to identify historical attacks dating back to 2015, DiMaggio said.
"While we are just now going public with the information, we have been working with victims and the healthcare community for some time now in relation to these attacks. We felt it was important from a security perspective to make the attacks public so other organizations are aware and can better protect themselves moving forward," DiMaggio said.

Tokyo Drifter. (15.)
Directed by Seijan Suzuki. 1966.
Starring Tetsuya Watari, Chieko Matsubara, Hideaki Nitani, Tamio Kawachi, Ryûji Kita, Eiji Gô. 82 mins. Out of Blu-ray from the Criterion Collection.
The gangster thriller Tokyo Drifter, the film of a popular song from the time, is about a Yakuza family that is trying to go legit and the noble foot soldier Tetsuo (Watari) who is fanatically loyal to his boss. But this is not a film where you need worry too much about the plot; the filmmakers surely didn't. It's all about the look, and the look is incredible. It's a Bobby Dazzler, no doubt about it. That said, while watching it I did a bit of Tokyo drifting myself: wowed by the visual but alienated by the narrative incoherence my mind did occasionally wander. It's a perverse achievement. While you are watching it you will probably become increasingly distant from it. Then, when it is finished, you want to go right back and it again to be overwhelmed by that colour scheme.
Now I'm not one of those who demand a Good Story above all else and doesn't like that story to be fannied about with. I'm all about the fannying, but suspect Suzuki is taking the piss just a bit here. The film was shot in 25 days which is staggering given the intricacies of the set design, and the number of scenes and locations involved. Our hero is a drifter after all, so there's a trip to the snowbound north and to the warmer south, which in this film has a wild west theme. The plan seemed to be make sure they shot all the good bits, and never mind if they didn't get round to do all those pesky bits that give the good bits context. When Michael Bay does that he's a vulgarian, when a foreigner does it he's a visionary surrealist.
Maybe, but the film's style is so abrupt, so streamlined that it feels like a series of postcards from a narrative. During Tetsuo's trip north, out of nowhere he is in the middle of a shoot out on a train track, with a train steaming up behind him. The whole who/what/where/why of the event is never made clear. Stylized action sequences are all very well but surely some vague rules of engagement need to be established.
Still, those good bits are damn fine. We open with a black and white sequence in a dockyard. It was shot on some spoiled monochrome film that needed using up and the result is an extremely stylized contrast. To misquote Spinal Tap, "How much more black and white can you get? None more black and white." The rest of the film is in colours of varying degree of garishness. The finale takes place on a chandeliered nightclub set, with the kind of staircase Matt Monroe might have descended mid-croon. The action is played out against the backdrop of a dangling polystyrene doughnut that changes colour to match the mood.
Frustrating definitely, but undeniably remarkable, albeit in a way I personally couldn't find much use for. Others could though and one of the reasons I found it so hard to commit to the narrative was all the times I was reminded of a film that was influenced by it. Obviously, there is all the French cinema du look mob, Beineix, Carax, who applied the form to equalled inexplicable but much more long-winded narratives. But also the colour coding of interiors is reminiscent of The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.

Considered the original form of dance as an art form, ballet stems from 15th century Europe. Ballet is the base for all other forms of dance, and pieces of ballet are used throughout all other styles, making it a staple class for all aspiring dancers.
The three main styles of ballet are Classical, Neoclassial, and Contemporary. Here at SLAY we focus on Classical and Contemporary. Classical ballet is frequently story-based and orchestrated (think Nutcracker or Swan Lake). Classical ballet focuses on more sophisticated, dignified, and controlled movements, along with pointe work, gracefulness, and symmetry. Contemporary, on the other hand, is more grounded and physical, focusing on more abstract movements, as well as less linear storylines.
Both of these styles are featured here at SLAY! Be sure to check them out in the Class Schedule!
Jazz is a more fast-paced style, including bolder, more dramatic and less strict movements than ballet. Jazz originates from early 1920s-1930s street traditions that evolved into jazz clubs. Many jazz movements stem from a ballet basis, which is why taking both styles is important. Luckily, we specialize in both here at SLAY!
Hip-hop first originated in the streets of New York City during the 1970s, in the African-American and Puerto Rican communities. Hip-hop is one of the most diverse dance styles, lacking the stern rules of ballet or jazz. Hip-hop is fast paced, with various different sub-styles that make every class a new adventure!
Modern dance is an extremely unique style given that it outright rejects many of the rules (pointed toes, posture, graceful movements) that ballet establishes. Modern emphasizes creativity and originality, as well as complex and often abstract stories, more metaphystical than the rigid storylines that ballet tells. Modern is one of SLAY owner Rodney Stanton's signature styles, and is a large focus of the contemporary clases here at SLAY!
Fusion, like its name suggests, is a mixture between multiple styles, blending not only dance types but also cultural elements to form a new unique style signature to SLAY. Unlike other studios, whose closest relative to fusion is a simple "street jazz," SLAY's fusion combines dance and culture from all over the world to form the exciting and fresh style.
Acrobatics, or acro, originates from the combination of gymnastics and dance. Many acro moves are applied in routines (and these moves have become especially popular in competitive dance). Things like aerials, walkovers, handsprings, and other exciting moves await in this class! Or, for more beginner dancers, SLAY offers lower-level tumbling courses where younger dancers can learn moves like cartwheels, bridges, and basic rolls. Acro also focuses on balance, stability, and flexibility. SLAY has an extensive acro/tumbling course with passionate and knowledgeable teachers directing courses for all levels!
An important part in any dancer is the strength and flexibility that allows them to accurately and gracefully execute all types of movement. In this class we focus on in-depth stretches and exercises in order to condition dancers' bodies to be both strong and pliant through hard work.
At SLAY we not only teach our students to be great and passionate dancers, but also technical dancers. Turns and Leaps is an excellent class for the aspiring technical dancer, focusing on grinding out various turns, such as pirouettes and fouettés, and leaps, like firebirds and switch leaps. SLAY offers multiple levels of this class, allowing beginning and advanced dancers alike to benefit from these technique based classes. Turns and Leaps is a great class to take along with other dance courses, such as Jazz and Ballet, as the elements applied in all three classes work together to create the perfect blend of technique and performance skill.
Missing those explosive moves in your solo? Flips and Tricks is the place to be. In Flips and Tricks, SLAY teaches its students all of the power moves than any competitive dancer needs. We are equipped with skilled and knowledgeable instructors who prioritize safety and proper technique when educating our students on the hottest and most exciting new tricks. Come learn these moves and add a pop to your dance range, or add a new skill to help you win that solo in your routine.
If other classes are too fast paced, or you need some downtime after all your hard work, yoga is a great option for you! Yoga classes focus on improving health, performance, and mental energy of athletes and participants, as well as promoting balance and general fitness. Yoga is a great course both as a support to other dance classes, or as a standalone. Come find your balance, with class dates and times available in the Class Schedule!

Vulnerable Democrats urge Congress to act before 2022 Medicare cuts kick in

46th and current president of the United States
Vulnerable Democrats are urging President Biden and congressional leaders to act quickly to prevent the Medicare cuts that will take effect on the first day of the new year.
Why it matters: Congress has little time to act before the Medicare reimbursement cuts kick in on Jan. 1, 2022, and there's currently no vehicle on the table to push the legislation through.

In a new letter addressed to the president and leadership of both parties in the House and the Senate, the front-line members are hoping to add urgency to the issue, as it comes up amid an already-packed congressional calendar.
The big picture: The moderate Democrats who face tough re-election battles in 2022 are working overtime to send a message to their constituents that they are trying to influence legislative decisions that are popular in their swing districts.
A group of Democrats including Rep. Cindy Axne (D-Iowa), who is leading the Medicare letter with Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.), recently took action to persuade House leadership to make the economy a legislative priority.
What they're saying: "I think it would really be unfair to the health care profession, after two years of a pandemic, to deliver that kind of dead end," Wild told Axios in a phone interview. "I can only speak for my district, but it would be devastating in my district to have [these cuts] happen."
"Cutting Medicare reimbursement to our health care heroes during a pandemic is simply unacceptable," the members wrote in the letter.
What's next: One possible option that was floated over the weekend is to attach Medicare sequestration as an add-on to the National Defense Authorization Act.
Wild told Axios that she would support that "if it's the only way to make this happen." But, she added, "I'm not a big fan of adding a bunch of unrelated stuff to the NDAA."

As a keen fitness enthusiast and member of different gyms for several years, just as I thought that there was nothing new under the sun and resigned myself to the universal dominance of Les Mills classes everywhere (Body Pump, Body Combat, Body Attack, RPM etc.), I completely fell for a refreshingly new group exercise class called Kettlercise. In my previous article I talked about why I really like using kettlebells and I did not expect to discover that there IS actually a fitness programme built on using kettlebells! It was "love at first sight". The guy who is behind this new exercise programme is called Guy Noble – he is a reputable fitness expert and owner of Kettlebell Seminars Ltd., official suppliers and trainers to the Registrar of Kettlebell Professionals, offering a range of seminars and instructors' courses.
In a nutshell, the class is designed to provide an overall total body workout using only one piece of equipment (the name says it all!). The basic kettlebell exercises work the whole body as one unit including arms, torso, legs, hips and bottom whilst also working the cardiovascular system. This is a truly challenging class – as opposed to Body Pump, there are virtually no breaks between the exercises. There is also a greater variety of moves – I counted about 40 different exercises during the class, which are introduced by the instructor just before the start of a new move to ensure continuity. But the real beauty in all of this is that because you are only using one kettlebell, there is no need to fiddle with changing weights as you inevitably end up doing during Body Pump. (However, having said that, I sometimes use more than one weight – a heavier for the legs and bigger moves and a lighter one for the arms – to challenge myself more).
Given that the exercises involve high reps (you get approx. one minute for each move) and most of them involve some swinging motion, they bring up the heart rate quite quickly and keep you working at a high cardiovascular intensity for 50 minutes. Therefore it is recommended that slightly lower weights are used in this class than what you would normally use in the weight room for a quick conditioning workout. I usually work with 8 – 12 kg kettlebells when I do my own high intensity interval workouts, but I find that a 6 – 8kg kettlebell is more ideal for me in this class, due to its length. By the end of the workout, you will not find a single spot on your body that is not aching… But I can wholeheartedly say that it's totally worth it as you will see the difference in the mirror after a few weeks if you regularly stick to this workout!
What I liked the best about this class is that it provides a great cardiovascular workout combined with strengthening and sculpting moves, making it a very efficient fat burner.
Given the variety of the moves, it is really hard to get bored with this routine. Time passes so quickly as you move on from one exercise to another, being completely absorbed in getting the transition and the new move right. You will quickly learn the new lingo: swings, snatches, lunges, pulls, presses, you name it!
As opposed to classes like Body Pump, there are lots of moves that involve side bends and torso twists, moves that are great to improve the mobility of the spine and torso but are often neglected.
In comparison to barbells and weight plates used in Body Pump, kettlebells allow you to carry out explosive movements as well that use momentum to multiply force, whilst dumbbells/barbells are best for slower movements that require control. Kettlebell movements cause your body to work more as one unit because you utitilize stabilizer muscles on a lot of the moves. Also, the movements can be quite fast and after several reps and sets, you will have done an incredible cardio workout!
The only caution I would take if I was a complete beginner is getting the technique right first. That said, this is paramount when trying out any new class that involves the use of some kind of equipment. When it comes to using kettlebells, some of the moves require so much precision that getting it wrong may lead to decreased efficiency, not to mention exposing yourself or others to injury. I have seen kettlebells flying loose because the person's fingers slipped off the handle!
