Death is their Destiny – Classic Punk Footage
Wandering around Oxford Street in London today, the amount of spiky black leather may surprise you. There's a lot knocking about. However, the traditional protective shell of crusty old punk guys has been hermitted away and is now inhabited by young pulchritudinous women working in Topshop and Mango. However, the girls in Oxford Street today don't seem to have the look quite right…maybe more people should check out Captain Zip's punk footage captured in Death is their Destiny below, shot on Kings Road in 1978.
The film is short, to the point and incredibly punk. The first of 8 films that he'd eventually produce, the original cut was completely silent, with Chelsea by Elvis Costello and Look, There Goes Concorde Again by …And the native hipsters (that one was new on me too) only added in 1991.

On incentives, songwriting and activism: Erin McKeown
A little while ago Erin McKeown, an American DIY musician, producer and activist, came to Brighton as part of her tour to promote her new album: Manifestra. Erin is a 2011 – 2012 Fellow of Harvard University's Berkman Centre for Internet and Society, which studies alternative independent methods of earning for musicians. Her own research contemplated how to make a creative life a viable profession, so I went down to have a chat about her work, PledgeMusic and making the world a less violent place.
What is the most important thing for you to communicate through your music?
For me, it is a sense of another world besides the one we live in. One that is more poetic, and saturated.
You experiment with a wide variety of musical styles. Are there any genres (besides folk) that you find particularly suited to your particular blend of musical activism?
I have always thought rock was excellent for activism. A great chorus can really change the world. Also, Afrobeat has a wonderful history of activism in its songs. you don't just need an acoustic guitar!
Do you see the current issues surrounding copyright and digital streaming services as a major barrier for a future harmonious relationship between tech and music companies?
As long as someone figures out how to make money again off of musicians, the music biz and tech world will get along fine in the future. It is the day-to-day lives of musicians that I worry more about… How will we continue to make music and be part of our communities if we cannot make a living from being artists?

Songs from a room: Sofar sounds Brighton
I want to make you aware of Sofar Sounds. The website gives a short, simple description:
"We have created a movement which brings music lovers together in secret living room locations to hear some of the world's most cutting edge artists. In order to create an intimate and spellbinding atmosphere, we ask that nobody talk during performances." www.sofarsounds.com
Here's what it looks like:
A simple concept, but started in the same spirit that made me want to write this blog. It's a platform for bringing people and music together in a memorable atmosphere, and by doing so, gives the art a way of recapturing its aura and authenticity. Bringing the quiet respect and reverie that accompanies a poetry reading and applying that to an art form that, at times, appears to be floundering in a miserable state, partly of its own creation.
In the good old days, it was easy to make people pay for music. They simply had to; there wasn't an option. At first, people were able to sell recorded music in the form of written notation, distributing instructions on how to recreate the sound of the piece in your own home, using nothing more than a simple piano and your own voice. If you wanted to hear music, you had to learn how to play it. Or, you could find a friend who knew how, but you'd have to find someone willing, then sit down together and experience it, most likely with even more people involved. It was a group experience, shared interpretations of a composer's vision. Otherwise, you'd have to go to a scheduled live performance. Music was impossible without investing either time or money, but most likely both.
Even with the arrival of mechanical reproduction, allowing for most of the 20th Century music industry to happen, the music industry held all the cards. Recording equipment was expensive. If a songwriter wanted to record, they had to find someone with enough money to buy and maintain this equipment, and they'd have to work out an arrangement with them to use their facilities in return for a fee, or a share in the profits of the music. The people who owned the equipment could make as many recordings as they liked, transforming various materials into objects that would recreate a musical performance in people's homes. Whatever the specifics of the artist/manager/record company relationship, the audiences couldn't get their mitts on the music of their favourite artist without going through the men who controlled the recording equipment.
Now though, we're here. Digital reproduction allows any of us to make endless free, perfect copies of any music we own. We can call thousands of songs within a few moments of deciding we'd like to hear something, and all this does something to the power music can have to affect us. With fewer people respecting music as art, and with so many subcultures through the last century co-opted by mainstream companies and used in advertising, songs which may have once poignantly expressed a social injustice or beautiful captured a moment in time are shackled to this week's special at Burger King or last month's car insurance deals.

Q: Ubuntu remote login - different shells Why does logging into one account yield a shell with the name of the user, as well as color coded files/folders and the other shell in just "$" and only white text? See attached. I would like both sign ins to look like the left.
Putty Screens

$ echo $PS1

*Left:
 \[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$

*Right:
 ${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$

A: I would guess you're using different shells.  What you see on the left is the default prompt for the Bash shell, and what is on the right might be the system shell: Dash.
To change your shell to Bash, try logging in as the given user and then:
chsh -s /bin/bash

Or as root (eg with sudo), try
chsh -s /bin/bash user

How you ended up with a shell other than Bash is another matter: perhaps that user was created as a system user or was created by some software directly modifying /etc/passwd instead of the usual adduser command (or even useradd).

I don't want to turn into one of those photographers. You know, the ones who have all these great photographs of everyone else's families and children, but not their own. BUT, I also don't want all my photos of my children to be those where I've dressed them perfectly and taken them to a favorite location. I want pictures of everyday life as it happens. Which is why I keep a camera on the shelf in my kitchen – in the middle of everything – ready at a moment's notice. So I can be ready when someone shows up naked on the kitchen table (not pictured) or someone finds it appropriate to dress in scuba gear for their bath (another post). Or when a rare moment of pillow-fort-reading & snuggling happens.
Because the best moments don't happen when you schedule them. They usually happen when you're pulling the sour cream out of the fridge.
Thanks for this am, a good friend is such a gift. I have one in you!
LOVE these photos!!! You are SOOO talented! I also keep a camera close, but my shots are not as good!
I LOVE the last shot! It totally captured me and I had to take a second and third look. So crisp and vivid with a beautifully shallow depth of field! That, along with the unique angle/orientation made it grab me and I just had to comment!

Bringing agriculture and health back together
By: Jeff Waage
By Jeff Waage
Agriculture and health experts must work together to tackle disease, poverty and malnutrition, says development expert Jeff Waage.
The relationship between agriculture and health may seem intuitive and simple — grow more crops and people will have more food and live healthier lives. But because agriculture and health policies are rarely coordinated, the reality is far more complex.
The truth is that despite a huge increase in agricultural productivity and food availability over the past 50 years, and falling food prices, about a billion people remain chronically undernourished.
At the same time, production of cheap refined cereals, sugars and fats is contributing to urban diets that are energy dense and nutrient poor, leading to rapidly growing rates of obesity and diabetes, and associated chronic diseases. This dietary transition is now being seen in countries like China, India and Mexico.
A burden on the poor
Health problems related to agriculture are particularly acute in low and middle income countries. Governments there may face both chronic rural undernutrition and worsening urban diets — a 'double burden' of diet-related disease.
Developing nations also have the greatest food safety threats from chemical and biological contamination in the food chain, such as pesticides, mycotoxins and zoonotic disease, as well as threats from wildlife and livestock, such as the Ebola virus and avian flu.
Most of the poor in these countries are farmers and farm workers, who depend on agriculture for their livelihoods, including the income needed to buy health services. Threats to agriculture become threats to health.
The reverse is also true. Diseases such as HIV/AIDS not only exacerbate malnutrition but can devastate labour, farm productivity and livelihoods. A study in Kenya has shown that the death of male household heads can slash per capita household food production by two thirds. These health and agriculture interactions create a downward spiral of declining health and resources.
Health and agriculture together
The key to tackling these problems lies in better integration of health and agricultural interventions and policy. To start, this means identifying negative interactions and working together to address them.
For example, irrigation projects that increase yields may unintentionally encourage diseases such as malaria or schistosomiasis. In Sri Lanka, intensification projects that have introduced both irrigation and pig production have created ideal conditions for Japanese encephalitis, whose mosquito vectors breed in ditches and use pigs as alternative hosts.
Involving health experts in agricultural development projects can help to foresee such threats and improve project design.
More generally, the focus of agricultural development on increasing the supply and reducing the cost of food energy — that is, carbohydrates and fats — has helped to imbalance human diets. Agriculture and health experts must work together to re-establish the balance by making foods with essential micronutrients cheaper and easier to access.
Barriers to integration
What stands in the way of integrating agriculture and health research for development?
In part, it is a language barrier: agriculturalists, for example, may talk of improving health in terms of food energy, while health specialists deal in disability adjusted life years (DALYs).
And most of our estimates of food consumption and dietary health — from which we estimate undernutrition — come from extrapolating agricultural production statistics, not from real measures of what people eat and how this affects their health.
Common metrics and methods would underpin an integrated approach. For instance, a recent study on 'golden rice' — rice engineered for high vitamin A content — in the Philippines, expresses the benefits of agricultural innovation in terms of DALYs, while a study in Mongolia on the zoonotic disease, brucellosis, integrates animal production and human health metrics in predicting the cost effectiveness of control.
But the most important barrier to integration is the longstanding isolation of agriculture and health, and their research and policy processes. We see these 'silos' in the UN's intergovernmental bodies, in national ministries and in universities.
A fragmented development landscape can reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of policy interventions.
Take strategies for improving basic nutrition. There are four proven ways of doing this: supplementing diets of the poor, fortifying processed foods, breeding more nutritious crops (biofortification) and encouraging greater agricultural and dietary diversity.
In principle, these methods comprise an excellent and flexible toolbox that, in the right combination, offers one of the best ways of halting malnutrition. But each method is 'owned' and promoted by different communities of health or agricultural specialists, making a joined-up approach difficult.
Joined-up action
The solution is for researchers from both backgrounds to work better together towards common goals. The new Leverhulme Centre for Integrative Research on Agricultural and Health (LCIRAH) is a step in this direction.
It brings together academics from health, agriculture and other disciplines across the social and natural sciences to define and build agri-health research for international development. The agency is an initiative of the London International Development Centre, a University of London consortium that applies interdisciplinary approaches to complex development problems.
Besides LCIRAH, there are other hopeful signs that silos are crumbling. For example, the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) is preparing a programme for agriculture and health research.
And concepts of 'one health' and 'eco-health' — which link animal systems, human health and environment — are being incorporated into practical programmes in the UN and elsewhere.
Two development sectors that should never have been separated are slowly coming together again.

Well hello Spring! I know the title is a bit of a cliché, but I do love a change in season, and I think Spring is one of my favourites!
Waking up and coming home in daylight! No more short days, but glorious light filled hours! Of course, this means I'll probably have to cope with the kids waking up earlier and wanting to play later, but it's worth it.
Spring means it's my birthday month. Not that I get a whole month of celebrations, but I do like birthdays. And cake. I love cake.
Fruit varieties! I know it's not really such a big thing anymore with the imported varieties available, but by now I'm over the local winter fruits and really hanging out for some spring and summer varieties which are now THAT much closer!
Plans! All the fabulous plans that are coming up. My family is entering birthday season, and as the kids get older they get more involved in it all, so we have all the fun of planning celebrations and of course, there will be cake (did I mention I love cake?!).
Gardening. Í can't wait to change up what I have growing and start to plant out some new seeds and seedlings. I have big plans for the garden over the coming months.
Spring in Australia always made me slightly apprehensive, because it signalled the approach of summer, and you may remember how much I disliked that :P But now we are in the UK I get excitement over spring (albeit it's not that time of year for us now) so am glad you're enjoying the milder, longer days!


RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabia's Interior Ministry says a group of 11 al-Qaida fighters has killed two border guards while trying to cross into Yemen before they themselves were captured.
The statement listed the names of 10 Saudis among the militants, saying they had been imprisoned for crimes connected to al-Qaida activities but were released after going through the kingdom's rehabilitation program for militants. It says the other militant was Yemeni.

How this Rocky woman became a stylist for the stars
Gabriel's business has exploded on an international level, working with people like Hailey Beiber and Kourtney Kardashian. Gabriel Waller
by MaddelinMcCosker
Maddelin McCosker
23rd Mar 2019 6:00 AM
THREE months into 2019 and Gabriel Waller is already having the best year of her life, and certainly the best year of her career.
Taking the leap and starting her own personal shopping business in June last year, the former Rockhampton woman's personal brand and business was catapulted into the worldwide fashion industry.
In the world of personal shopping, Ms Waller has found her niche in tracking down those high-fashion, designer items that would otherwise be 'impossible' to find.
"I think people may look at my lifestyle and say 'wow, she literally shops for a living'," Ms Waller said.
Gabriel's business success has come about purely through word of mouth. Gabriel Waller
"Yes, that is what I do but behind closed doors there is a lot of hard work and very long hours.
"I am working on three different time zones on a daily basis."
Before Ms Waller took the leap into the fashion world she worked with the Queensland Government, and she decided to start a personal blog which led into the world of styling.
After taking on the blog as a full-time job, Ms Waller decided to move to Los Angeles in 2016 to get more exposure to the world of styling.
It was through that career she was introduced to the world of personal shopping.

"I discovered the world of personal shopping just through clients who began requesting pieces that weren't available within the US market," she said.
Upon her return to Australia she began researching the career path and she realised there wasn't a huge market for it in Australia.
She dove in head first, starting her business half way through 2018, and has been on the rise ever since.
Having done no marketing, advertising or public relations in the six months before the start of this year, the level of international recognition she gained in January was a total surprise.
Towards the end of 2018, MsWaller was approached by a friend with a request to find a Celine coat designed by former creative director Phoebe Philo before she left the design house.
British supermodel and actress Rosie Huntington-Whitely was searching for the sold-out coat in mid-December and when she posted about her quest (which went viral), a friend put her in touch with MsWaller.

After a few weeks of searching, Ms Waller was able to track down the coat in question.
Fast forward to January 18 when Rosie posted to her Instagram page - which is followed by 9.2million people - that she was now in possession of the "coat of her dreams" and it was all thanks to Ms Waller.
"It was a huge moment," she said.
"There are a lot of personal shoppers out there so for me, one woman here in Australia, to receive the exposure I received has been huge, and it is definitely all thanks to Rosie, that's for sure."
Describing how that moment changed her business and her life, Ms Waller said being able to work with clients on such an international level has taken her business to the next level.
"I woke up one morning and my Instagram had just exploded, it was absolutely bonkers," she said.
"The whole thing has really helped my brand grow and put it out there on a global scale.
"I think it is all thanks to Rosie for that. She kind of put me on a platform for international clients, which is insane."
Until recently, Ms Waller was running a one-woman business, but another exciting moment came when she was able to hire her first assistant.
After finding the coat for Rosie, Ms Waller was put in contact with Hailey Bieber, who was also tracking down the same coat.
"You can't get in touch with someone like that normally, but through Rosie I was recommended to other people. It is so crazy how it all works."
Drawing on her time growing up in Rockhampton and her schooling through The Cathedral College, Ms Waller said the things she learnt had served her well since she transitioned into the fashion world.
The former Cathedral College student had a government job before she decided to start a fashion blog, which is where her successful career in the fashion industry began. Gabriel Waller
"I think growing up in a small town, I feel like it made me really ambitious to really explore the world and see what is out there," she said.
"Everything I have I've built myself, nothing has been handed to me on a silver platter.
"I think growing up in a small town, those kinds of values are built into you from a young age and you know that whatever you want in life, you need to work hard for it - it's not going to be given to you.
"I think my schooling taught me a lot of that and it really helped me with my ambitious personality. I am very determined and hardworking.
"I don't think that is something that you just wake up with one day, I think that is something that is built into you."

With her business still in its infancy, Ms Waller has found the kind of success she hadn't thought possible so early on.
To top off an already hugely successful nine or so months, Ms Waller recently returned from Paris after attending her first ever Fashion Week in the fashion capital of the world.
Yet another 'pinch me' moment for Ms Waller.
"My most recent trip to Paris for Fashion Week was so unexpected," she said.
"If what happened in January hadn't have happened, I can 100per cent say I wouldn't have been able to do that.
"Eight months ago, doing something like this was something I had only dreamt of.
"It was really a moment for me to say 'wow, this is everything I have dreamt of and it is here'. It happened so fast and it was definitely a bit surreal."
In Paris, Ms Waller was able to attend fashion shows, meet designers and visit showrooms to source not only specific items for customers, but to create contacts and get an idea of what pieces were going to be on the market.
Gabriel just recently came back from her first international Fashion Week at the mecca of all fashion weeks - Paris. Gabriel Waller
"A big part of what I do is focussing on pre-orders," she said.
"It gives my clients the opportunity to basically buy anything straight off the runway."
Looking forward, Ms Waller said she is excited to continue growing her brand internationally, while also sustaining and creating more positive client relationships in Australia.
"Definitely I would love to do more travelling and work trips to connect with different people internationally," she said.
"I would also really love to grow my team a bit more. I would love to get a bit more help to assist with the business growth.
"I would also love to take a holiday, to be 100per cent honest with you.
"But number one would be to travel more for work."
And after working almost every day for the past nine months, on three different time zones, Ms Waller definitely deserves some time off to reflect on the stratospheric rise of her business.

Apart from the lessons, playtime in la cancha is very important for the niños and niñas of the Escuela Flora Tristán. Perhaps even more important. Through some strange anomaly of playground physics, there are always more children on the basketball court after lessons than take part in the classes themselves.
It's always a chaotic scene. Goals at either end are used for fútbol of course, although there may be two ongoing games at the same time. On one side of the court children queue up for skipping, while on the other side volleyball takes place, although this sometimes becomes basketball, depending on the whim of the players at the time. Little children throw ropes over the bars above the goals, unwittingly becoming goalkeepers as they swing nonchalantly between the posts.
All the while the fútbol games rage on, with children, teachers and the local dogs - who all seem to know exactly when to turn up for playtime - all taking part, running into each other, the skippers, volleyballers, goal-swingers, and anyone else who happens to be in the way. Who plays which way is not important, with all chasing, kicking, barking and yelling at will.
At the sides of the playground can be found other children. These industrious little workers dig and burrow at the dust and rocks, as if mining for precious schoolyard metals just waiting to be found. Some kids can't go to school at all because they've to work in the mines. It's perhaps ironic then that the ones in school feel they're missing out.


MACCABEE ISRAEL: THE PALESTINIAN "OCCUPATION"
While out riding my bike on the beautiful ISRAELI Golan Heights, I had a realization. I guess pushing one's body has a tendency to make us see things more clearly.
I realized the Palestinians really are an occupied people, just as they and their misguided supporters claim.
In fact the Palestinian occupation has existed long before the Six Day War.
In the early 20th Century -- about twenty to thirty years after the modern birth of Zionism, the group that today is called "Palestinian" found its occupation.
Yes, the "Palestinian Nation" has been occupied; occupied with condemning and denying Jewish emancipation and self-determination.
This, in a land that belonged to "Israelites" long before there was an illiterate upstart Arab warrior named Mohammed.
The "Palestinian Nation" has made it their job, their "OCCUPATION", to hate Jews and Israel.
Their failure to recognize Israel's right to exist as the Jewish nation/state is a declaration of that hatred and racism.
This "occupation" that consumes the Palestinians so completely has caused them to turn their backs on statehood, normalization with the world and peace with Israel.
What consumes these allegedly "occupied" Palestinians is a political policy so ripe with HATRED AND RACISM TOWARDS JEWS that it could be picked straight from a tree!
This "OCCUPATION" does not just cover the Palestinians; it has moved like a virus to the fanatics of the world.
Fanatics have always had it out for the Jews and their aspirations of freedom and self-determination.
It makes no difference what fanatics you're talking about: the extreme left and even the not so fanatical left; right wing fascists; Neo-Nazis; Islamists; Insane Third World dictators -- they have all jumped on the made-up nation of Palestine's band wagon of anti-Semitism. They have made it their policy to hate Israel and blame the Jews for everything.
As many of us raise our children in America and Israel to be the best they can in the work area and society, Palestinians and their brethren teach their offspring from the most tender age to hate, distort and delegitimize the Jewish Nation's historical rights to self-determination.
Remind you of another group? They were called Nazi Germans.
A known fact overlooked by most in today's political and diplomatic world is that the Palestinian Arabs made an alliance with Adolf Hitler and his Nazis. Led by Grand Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini, Palestinian leadership of the time formulated its own final solution for Israel's Jewish population.
Israel's largest compromise since the destruction of the Peace Process by Yasser Arafat in 2000 – the settlement freeze -- was met with complete Palestinian distain.
Palestinian political and diplomatic disrespect was also slapped across the foreign policy "face" of the Obama administration. Obama leaned hard on Israel to get the freeze in the first place, and at great political risk.
Undaunted, and using their best Palestinian "OCCUPATION" tactics the PA/PLO leadership promptly spit that gift back in Obama's face, by refusing to enter into ANY sort of negotiations until a mere one month before the freeze was due to expire.
The fanatics and the Occupied (with destroying Israel) Palestinians have bamboozled the world with the insane notion that Israel, the only existing liberal democracy in the entire Middle East, is oppressing the Palestinians of Gaza.
These are the same oppressed Palestinians who have rejected peace and compromise since the UN legally decided to partition the British-ruled Palestine Mandate into two nations – one to become Israel; the other, Palestine.
These are the same Palestinians who rejected peace in 1967 at the Khartoum summit, after all the Palestinian nation was occupied; occupied, that is, with destroying Israel.
These are the same Palestinians who perpetuated their own occupation by rejecting statehood and peace in 2000; opting yet again for another skirmish with Israel.
These are the same Palestinians who continued their occupation even after Israel UNILATERALLY uprooted her towns in the Gaza strip.
These are the same "helpless," occupied Palestinians who value rockets and hopefully killing Jews above peace, stability, food and other goods.
YES, THE PALESTINIANS ARE OCCUPIED: THEY ARE AS OCCUPIED AS THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.
AFTER ALL, THEY HAVE A NATION/STATE TO DENIGRATE, DELEGITIMIZE, DENY AND DESTROY.
HOW MANY CASUALTIES MAKE A "GOOD" WAR?
PEACE NOW, ARE YOU KIDDING?

The Capitol View Corridors are a series of legal restrictions on construction in Austin, Texas, aimed at preserving protected views of the Texas State Capitol from various points around the city. First established by the Texas Legislature in 1983 and recodified in 2001, the corridors are meant to protect the capitol dome from obstruction by high-rise buildings. While supported by cultural and historical preservation organizations, the corridors have also been criticized for limiting the potential for the development of new tall structures in downtown Austin.

History
In 1931, the City of Austin, aiming to preserve the visual preeminence of the  Texas State Capitol, enacted a local ordinance limiting the height of new buildings to a maximum of . From that time until the early 1960s, only the University of Texas Main Building Tower was built higher than the limit, using an exception allowing for additional height with a greater setback. On November 10, 1962, the Austin Statesman announced that real-estate developers were planning a new high-rise residential building adjacent to the Capitol called the Westgate Tower. The proposed design for the tower was  tall, significantly exceeding the city's height limit, although it compensated with a setback for the upper portion.

The prospect of so tall a structure so close to the Capitol met with significant hostility as plans proceeded. In January 1963, Texas Governor Price Daniel voiced his opposition to the proposed tower in his final address to the Texas Legislature. Resistance continued as construction progressed, with State Representative Henry Grover of Houston introducing a bill to condemn the property in February 1965, which was defeated in March in the Texas House of Representatives by only two votes. The Westgate was completed in 1966, but the controversy over the preservation of the Capitol's visual presence that dogged its construction continued to grow.

The Westgate was followed by even taller structures: first the  Dobie Center (designed in 1968), and then a series of ever larger downtown bank towers, culminating in the  One American Center (designed in 1982). In January 1983, inspired by the Westgate and these other structures, State Senator Lloyd Doggett and State Representative Gerald Hill introduced Senate Bill 176, "Relating to preservation of the view of the State Capitol from certain points and prohibition of certain construction." This bill proposed a list of protected "Capitol View Corridors" along which construction would not be permitted, so as to create protected views from a series of points around Austin.

The bill passed through the Texas Senate and House of Representatives in early 1983, ultimately being signed into law on May 3, 1983, and coming into effect immediately. It was later recodified in 2001 by House Bill 2812, which established the current version of the statute in the Texas Government Code Chapter 3151, entitled "Preservation of View of State Capitol". This code defines the thirty state-protected viewing corridors and prohibits any construction that would intersect one of them. In 1985 the City of Austin adopted a corresponding Capitol View Protection Ordinance, so that the majority of the corridors are protected under the Austin Code of Ordinances Chapter 25-2 Appendix A, entitled "Boundaries of the Capitol View Corridors", as well as under state law.

Amendments and additions

The state legislation defining the corridors was amended in 2001 and 2003 to accommodate a series of public development projects, including the redevelopment of the defunct Mueller Airport and an expansion of Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, and again in 2013 to clarify the relationship between the state and city codes.

In 2007, the Austin City Council asked the Downtown Commission to review the existing corridors and propose updates or modifications. The commission's final report, delivered on June 27, 2007, recommended that eleven of the thirty corridors be reconsidered or modified. Six of the recommended changes were to correct technical errors in the statute or to bring the city and state laws into agreement, and two were to update the laws to reflect portions of the corridors that were already obstructed. The other four recommendations were more controversial, attracting opposition from the city's Parks and Recreation Board, the Heritage Society of Austin, and others; no changes were ultimately made.

In February 2017, the Austin City Council considered a proposal from Council Member Ora Houston to designate additional protected viewing corridors in east Austin. The proposal was provisionally approved by council on February 16, after an amendment removed one of the five proposed new corridors; that corridor was later restored to the proposal on March 2. , city staff are reviewing the proposed additional corridors for feasibility.

Impact on development

Since their creation, the Capital View Corridors have been a frequent focus of conflict among various groups in Austin and in the Texas government. On one hand, cultural conservation and historical preservation organizations have generally supported the restrictions, arguing that the capitol views form an important part of Austin's cultural heritage and are threatened by the city's growth and land development. On the other hand, both private and public entities looking to build in Austin (especially downtown) have expressed concern about the corridors' impact on investment, on property tax receipts, and on the supply of jobs and housing.

A number of high-rise buildings in central Austin have been designed with diagonal floor plans to avoid obstructing a viewing corridor, such as the Fifth & West Residences Tower; other towers suddenly become narrower when they reach the height of a viewing plane, like the 360 Condominiums Tower. Some major civic development projects have received exemptions from the corridor protections, including the redevelopment of the former Mueller Airport and the expansion of the University of Texas football stadium; in other cases, structures already completed have been condemned and rebuilt because of the corridors, including a newly built water intake facility for the Waller Creek Tunnel. Low-lying corridors prevent essentially all construction on certain blocks downtown.

Corridors

A Capitol View Corridor is a quadrilateral that links a line segment somewhere in Greater Austin to the base of the capitol dome. No structure is permitted to be built in a manner that would intersect the viewing corridor and thus obstruct the protected view of the Capitol. , state law defines thirty Capitol View Corridors in Austin, while municipal code defines twenty-six protected corridors, twenty-one of which are identical to state-defined corridors and five of which differ slightly from five of the state corridors. Many of the corridors protect stationary or pedestrian views, and others protect vehicular views from roadways (some corridors protect both). The corridors have an average length of around ; the shortest runs for  to Waterloo Park, and the longest runs  to a scenic overlook in West Lake Hills.

Die evangelisch-lutherische, denkmalgeschützte Dorfkirche Rosendorf steht in Rosendorf, einer Gemeinde im Saale-Orla-Kreis von Thüringen.
Die Kirchengemeinde Rosendorf gehört zum Pfarrbereich Pillingsdorf im Kirchenkreis Schleiz der Evangelischen Kirche in Mitteldeutschland.

Beschreibung
Die rechteckige Saalkirche hat einen Dachturm im Osten. Sie wurde 1787 anstelle einer älteren Vorgängerkirche gebaut. Das Kirchenschiff ist mit einem schiefergedeckten, abgewalmten Satteldach bedeckt. Der Dachturm wächst zunächst quadratisch aus dem Satteldach heraus. Darauf sitzt ein achtseitiger Aufsatz, der den Glockenstuhl beherbergt, in dem eine Kirchenglocke aus Bronze von 1932 und eine Gussstahlglocke von 1962 hängen. Darauf sitzt eine bauchige Haube, die in einem spitzen Helm ausläuft.

Die Kirche wurde 1887 und 1999 restauriert. So steht es an der Wand hinter dem im Zopfstil verzierten und mit zwei Gebotstafeln bekrönten Kanzelaltar. Zwei Bilder aus dem 19. Jahrhundert hängen rechts und links vom Kanzelaltar, sie zeigen Luther und Melanchthon. Der Innenraum des Kirchenschiffs hat eingeschossige Emporen und ist mit einer einfach bemalten Flachdecke überspannt. Unter der Kanzel wurde nachträglich ein Bild des zwölfjährigen Jesusknaben im Tempel angebracht. Die Kirche besaß einst viel Schmuck. Heute sind von der Kirchenausstattung aus alter Zeit nur noch eine spätgotische Madonna mit Kind sowie gegenüber ein Kruzifix auf einem neueren Holzkreuz erhalten. Auf der hufeisenförmig umlaufenden Empore steht die Orgel mit 6 Registern, verteilt auf 2 Manuale und Pedal. Sie wurde 1884 von Hermann Kopp gebaut.

" No matter which side of the war you find yourself on, you'll be playing as good people "
I've played a lot of Front Mission. Over 5 years ago I played through both campaigns. I loved it, and always wanted to play through again on hard mode, but I needed to take a break from the lengthy game. Just recently I booted it up again and began playing again on hard mode. I ended up playing through both campaigns (my original plan was to just try one and see how I liked it) in 10-40 minute chunks during lunch breaks at work over the course of 6+ months. Like many portable games that I play at work, this game became an institution after playing it so long. It took me around 40 hours to beat both campaigns this time around, and it was worth the wait. My main complaint about the game's normal mode was that I thought it was too easy. Hard mode delivers on the challenge in spades. It also helped me to appreciate a few things about normal mode... more on that later.
Once into a campaign you'll be taking part in the Second Huffman Island conflict on a disputed territory when a tense situation finally boils over into open warfare between two world super powers, the OCU and the UCS, who both hold territory there. Warfare has changed in the medium distant future (somewhere around 2085, I think). Mecha called Wanzers are the main weapon utilized in military operations of all kinds, and you'll be commanding a squad of them along with support vehicles. The missions you are sent on are fought on a turn-based grid. First, your team gets a go. You can move each unit on the grid and then perform an action, be that an attack, using an item, reloading, or repairing other units. After you've activated all of your units, all of the enemy units move and attack or use items. Most missions require you to kill all enemies, although there are some with secondary objectives, such as rescuing a unit in peril.
Wanzer combat involves several weapon types. There are hand weapons, such as machine guns, shotguns, and rifles, which typically need to be fired at adjacent units (with some exceptions). If you played Front Mission 3 before this game (as many people probably have since it came out in America before this game), it's important to note that the differences between these weapon types are not as pronounced as in 3. It's a bit jarring at first, as the more distinct attributes of the different weapons in FM3 are a step up from this game, but you quickly get used to it. Then there are melee attacks, which can be bare-fisted punches or hits from equipped melee weapons. These also are done from squares adjacent to enemies. And finally there are missiles, which can be launched from a distance depending on the weapon's stats. Enemies may counter-attack when you attack them from adjacent squares (and vice-versa when it is the enemy's turn), but missile fire does not allow for counter-attacks.
Battles boil down to making more efficient use of the weapons and equipment you have to dish out more damage than you receive, and exploiting the advantages you have over the enemy, such as repairing and reloading. I've seen enemies occasionally repair themselves, but not nearly as much as you need to if you are going to survive. You can use repair items to repair yourself, or have support vehicles or Wanzers repair you. Interestingly, the two sides of the war repair differently. The OCU have a support truck that passively repairs anyone standing by it, and the UCS have repair equipment you can equip to Wanzers that gives them a repair action they can use to repair others. Both sides can reload while adjacent to their respective repair units. All weapons have unlimited ammo except for missiles, which need to be reloaded after a few shots.
You level up by... doing stuff. Attacking, destroying enemies, destroying enemy limbs, and dodging all earn you experience, and when you level up you get points added to your stats in the use of different types of weapons and in your dodging ability. If you get a lot of points in your skill with a certain weapon type, you can earn skills associated with those weapons. Skills are extremely, extremely powerful. They are so stinking powerful, getting just one skill on one of your pilots radically increases your combat effectiveness. The main skills you can get allow you to target specific parts of enemy Wanzers. Typically your attacks target random parts of the enemy, spreading your damage around. Once you have an aiming skill, you can do all your damage to an enemy's main body, killing them in just a few shots. Other skills are also very powerful, including a stun that can last for several turns, and a skill that gives you a random chance for firing your other weapon that can proc multiple times in a turn.
The mecha in Front Mission are fully customizable. You may have thought that Armored Core was revolutionary, but Front Mission was doing almost the exact same thing years before. You can buy and equip a staggering number of main bodies, arms, legs of many different types, and multiple weapon systems, as well as backpack accessories and CPU's. You will be spending hours in the garage over the course of a campaign upgrading your Wanzers to get the exact performance you want. Sometimes the choice is obvious to upgrade to the new strictly-better weapons that become available... but then other more exotic equipment might tempt you, such as arms with integrated weapons, weapons with less accuracy but further range, missile launchers that only fire one big missile instead of a salvo of smaller ones, or leg types that can't climb well but offer greater mobility overall. Specing out each of the many Wanzers you will recruit is a blast, and if you're a giant robot gear head who loves Armored Core or Carnage Heart, you'll be in heaven here.
Another element I thought of as a flaw when I played the game years ago was some elements of the story. In particular, there is a certain spoiler-ific conceit that I thought really jumped the shark and was typical anime nonsense. This time around, however, I saw it in a different light. It involves a technological breakthrough I thought too far-fetched. But in just the few short years since last I played this game, technology in the real world has come a long way. This game takes place something like 50+ years in the future, and I realized that something like what is described in the game is within the realm of possibility. It could actually happen.
Speaking of the story, it's pretty great. The main characters on each side of the conflict are really strong leads. Both are struggling to find their lost loves as war separates them, and both bond with a unlikely crew of allies along the way as they struggle to do the right thing in the midst of the chaos of war. Despite their similarities, these two characters are quite different in attitude, and their supporting casts are all great. After many battles together, you start to feel a bond with these soldiers, and through the short conversations you have here and there, you start to learn what makes each one tick. Both campaigns have great standout moments, such as fighting an elite unit in one campaign and then getting a chance to control them for a few battles in the other, and seeing two sides of the unraveling of the mystery at the heart of the conflict going on around you. The personal stories of the two main characters also build to amazing conclusions and smart epilogues. It's great stuff, and several notches above what you might be expecting from the story telling in an older Japanese RPG like this one.
The graphics in Front Mission are agelessly beautiful sprites, and each one is customized with all of the hundreds of parts and weapons having a unique look. It's just amazing looking. The occasional sleek looking Wanzers are far outnumbered by the tons of more bulky, lumbering, heavily armored giants. Think Battletech more than Robotech. There is also a little bit of Mode 7 in there, and an FMV from the PS1 re-release of this game (which I think is also the origin of the game's 2nd campaign). The character portraits are wonderful too. The beautiful concept art for the game was done by the incredible Yoshitaka Amano, who is famous for his Final Fantasy concept art, and the in-game portraits feel like a cross between a classic anime look and his art. If you can pick up this game with the manual, you'll also get a look at his jaw-dropping concept art, which is truly stunning. The SNES era midi tunes in the game are also something else. Almost all of them are good, a few are great, and some, like the final few pieces in the OCU campaign, are haunting, midi masterpieces.
Front Mission is a really great S-RPG experience. It's different; the sci-fi and military setting place it far apart from the typical fantasy genre experiences, and the intricate Wanzer building handily replaces more basic equipment shopping. It also conveys such an immersive feel. You feel like you are living through a war, taking part in the campaign, and seeing how the whole concept of war affects peoples' lives on several different scales. The DS is also the perfect hardware to play a game like this, as the bottom screen shows the action while the top screen gives you tons of detailed information about each unit you select. It's hard to imagine having to switch to another screen to view data in other versions of the game when it is available at a glance to you in this version. It's a shame that the Front Mission series seems to be dead. After a misguided (or so I hear) attempt at an action game during the past console generation, there hasn't been any news of new entries to the series. Here's hoping that one day it gets picked up again and takes us on another personal battlefield tour of war in progress and giant robot construction and combat. It's a 5 out of 5.

Sheffield Wednesday have been asked by the Football League for their "observations" on initially selecting a match-day 18 containing six loan players, one over the maximum allowance, against Bristol City.
The Owls originally included Michael Turner (Norwich), Daniel Pudil (Watford), Alex Lopez (Celta Vigo), Aiden McGeady (Everton), Vincent Sasso (Braga) and Joe Bennett (Aston Villa) in their squad to face the Robins last week.
Turner, Pudil, Lopez and McGeady started, with defenders Sasso and Bennett named on the substitutes bench.
However, Football League rules state that a team may only include five loan players in a match-day squad.
After discovering their teamsheet error around an hour and a quarter before kick-off, Wednesday, occupying the final Championship play-off position with five matches remaining, left out Bennett and drafted in Jack Hunt.
League One outfit Coventry City also made the identical mistake in their loss at table-topping Wigan Athletic on Saturday.
As far as the conduct of matches go, the captain and manager of each team must hand copies of a list of names of players taking part in a match, including substitutes, to the referee and a reprensentative of the opponents in the presence of the referee in his dressing room at least an hour before kick-off.
"The person who did the teamsheet made a mistake and we corrected it," Carvalhal told The Star following their 4-1 thrashing at Ashton Gate.
Should Wednesday be found to have breached the rules on loan players, they could be hit with a fine.
Eight years ago, the Owls forked out £2,000 after failing to comply with the regulations on loan players.
Wednesday named six loanees in their squad in a 1-1 draw against Stoke City at Hillsborough. Of the loan contingent in their squad, two were unused substitutes and only three were on the pitch at any one time.
The Potters felt particularly aggrieved as Portsmouth loanee Franck Song'o scored the Owls' equaliser. Despite that mistake, Brian Laws' side escaped a points deduction.
In 2006, Leeds United avoided a points penalty for a similar offence.

Ultrasound-guided para-umbilical block: a pediatric case
Masayuki Akatsuka1,
Takeshi Murouchi1,
Johji Arakawa1 &
Michiaki Yamakage2
Rectus sheath block is a common peripheral nerve block for patients undergoing umbilical hernia repair surgery. However, rectus sheath block alone can affect only anterior branches of intercostal nerves and, therefore, is incomplete for postoperative analgesia for the anterior abdomen, which is innervated by both anterior and lateral branches. We describe a successful perioperative analgesia with ultrasound-guided para-umbilical block after pediatric umbilical hernia surgery.
A 4-year-old child underwent hernia repair surgery. Following induction of general anesthesia, the anatomy of the umbilical region was observed under ultrasound with a 5–10-MHz linear probe. An ultrasound-guided injection between the rectus abdominis muscle and the posterior lobe of the rectus sheath and an injection into the subcutaneous space around the umbilicus were performed. The peripheral nerve block was effective during surgery, and the patient required no additional rescue analgesia during the perioperative period. There were no complications.
We performed ultrasound-guided para-umbilical block with four injections. This peripheral nerve block could be an efficient technique for complete perioperative analgesia.
Umbilical hernia repair is a common surgical procedure in pediatric surgery. It is usually carried out in children over 2 years old under general anesthesia, sometimes combined with regional blocks. Rectus sheath block has been long used for this purpose [1]. However, rectus sheath block can affect only anterior branches of intercostal nerves, and the effect could be incomplete; anterior abdominal regions are innervated by both anterior and lateral branches. Although several anatomical studies have shown many variations in the innervation of the umbilical region [2,3,4], there have been few studies on postoperative pain control in children after umbilical surgery with umbilical nerve block. Here, we describe a successful perioperative pain management of a pediatric umbilical hernia surgery with ultrasound-guided para-umbilical nerve block.
This case report was approved by our institutional research ethics committee, and the permission of publication from the parents of the patient was waived.
An otherwise healthy 4-year-old child (104 cm/15 kg) with umbilical hernia was planned to undergo hernia repair surgery. General anesthesia combined with regional anesthesia was planned.
Premedication was not given in the case. Standard monitors were attached to the patient. Anesthesia was induced with 5% sevoflurane via facemask, and the venous access was established after general anesthesia. The patient was intubated after muscle relaxation had been acquired with 1.0 mg/kg of rocuronium. Anesthesia was maintained with 2–2.5% sevoflurane, and mechanical ventilation by pressure control was maintained throughout the surgery. The ultrasonographic anatomy of the umbilical region was observed using a 5–10-MHz linear probe. The ultrasound probe was placed on the anterior abdomen in the transverse plane beside the umbilicus. The lateral edge of rectus abdominis muscle (RAM) was localized, and internal oblique muscle (IOM) was identified. A 22G short-beveled needle was introduced in-plane, with the probe on the lateral edge of the RAM. The needle tip was advanced until it was placed between the RAM and the posterior lobe of the rectus sheath. The needle position was confirmed with a small amount of saline; then, 4 mL of 0.25% ropivacaine was administered under real-time ultrasound guidance (Fig. 1). Then, the needle tip was pulled back to the subcutaneous area and advanced in-plane with the probe to the subcutaneous space around the umbilicus. A subcutaneous fan-shaped injection of 4 mL of 0.25% ropivacaine was performed (Fig. 2). Then, the same maneuvers were performed on the contralateral side.
The injection between the rectus muscle and the posterior sheath. The tip of the needle (yellow arrow) is on the posterior lobe of the rectus sheath. The deposition of injected local anesthetic (blue semicircle) is observed behind the rectus abdominis muscle. RAM rectus abdominis muscle, IOM internal oblique muscle, TAM transversus abdominis muscle
The injection in the subcutaneous tissue. The tip of the needle (yellow arrow) is in the subcutaneous space around the umbilicus. The depositions of injected local anesthetic (blue) are also observed inside the rectus sheath. RAM rectus abdominis muscle
Surgery was performed without any changes in heart rate and blood pressure. No additional rescue analgesia was therefore given in the operating room. The acute pain control was complete after emergence.
The postoperative course was uneventful, and there was no episode of nausea or vomiting. There was no additional rescue analgesia during the entire postoperative period, and the case scored 4 in the Children's Hospital Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS) [5] after surgery and had not scored ≥5 until hospital discharge.
In this case report, para-umbilical block [6] was performed for complete analgesia in umbilical hernia repair surgery under real-time ultrasound guidance. The result of this case suggests that ultrasound-guided para-umbilical block is effective as both anesthesia and postoperative analgesia, theoretically affecting both the anterior and lateral branches of intercostal nerves innervating the umbilical region.
A previous study showed that a landmark-based para-umbilical block provided both intraoperative analgesia and postoperative analgesia in children undergoing umbilical hernia repair [6]. The authors suggested that the injections over the rectus sheath and inside the rectus sheath can improve capture of aberrant anterior cutaneous branches. Another study showed that an ultrasound-guided peripheral block of the bilateral 10th intercostal nerves in the lateral edge of RAM was effective [7]. Both the approach [7] and rectus sheath block cannot affect aberrant anterior branches nor lateral cutaneous branches. Therefore, we performed ultrasound-guided para-umbilical block to administer the local anesthetic on the posterior lobe of the rectus sheath and in subcutaneous tissue around the umbilicus in a fan-shaped fashion. The spread of the local anesthetic on the sheath and subcutaneous tissue was clearly observed.
The main advantage of this block is completeness. This case needed no rescue during the perioperative period. The patient had no postoperative pain so that she was able to jump for fun and run 3 h after returning to the ward without pain. She had no complications such as hematoma and peritoneal puncture after the regional technique.
It is only one case we suggested the efficient nerve block for analgesia during the perioperative period. Prospective trials of the ultrasound-guided para-umbilical block are warranted to elucidate characteristics of patients that may affect the success of the para-umbilical block.
We performed para-umbilical block with four injections under ultrasound guidance. This approach might provide complete perioperative analgesia after umbilical hernia repair.

Roughcast in Cumbernauld
If you own a home or commercial property in Cumbernauld you may be thinking about applying roughcast. It is undoubtedly the most popular external render used in Scotland and is both affordable and cost-effective.
Velux Windows For Sale in Cumbernauld
What is Roughcast?
As the name suggests it is a rough aggregate mixture which can include cement, lime, gravel, sand, and shells. There are different mixtures with a variety of materials being used and different tints can be applied. The mixture is 'thrown' against the surface before being worked into place and is extremely durable.
Is Roughcast The Same as Pebbledash?
No, it isn't quite the same as pebbledash. Both techniques are external renders and use more or less the same materials but they differ because roughcast includes stones in its mix. With pebbledash however, the aggregate is added after the render has been applied to the wall. Roughcast is also slightly softer than pebbledash.
The Premier Velux Window Company in Cumbernauld
What Are The Benefits of Applying Roughcast To Your Property in Cumbernauld
Although an external render can be used as a decorative feature the application of roughcast, though it looks attractive, has a much more practical purpose.
It provides a tough weather resistant covering which provides great protection against the worst of the Scottish weather. It is waterproof, very resilient and hardwearing. It will last for over 20 years, doesn't require any maintenance and won't fade over time.
Roughcast also adds a layer of insulation to a building making it much more energy efficient by preventing the escape of heat saving the householder or business owner money on energy bills.
Whether you are building an extension and need to match the existing roughcast on the house, have purchased a building which doesn't have roughcast or need an existing surface repaired, we have a team of expert craftsmen who can help.

AF Roofing Cumbernauld, Roughcast Experts
Applying roughcast is a fairly fast process but it isn't easy. Which is why you need the expert team at AF Roofing.
The material needs to be applied evenly and smoothly. The finish needs to be consistent or it won't provide an effective barrier against the weather. This is where the skill of the craftsmen comes in.
With many years of experience applying roughcast to private and commercial properties in Cumbernauld and central Scotland the AF Roofing team will not only ensure the material is applied correctly but that it looks great as well.

Source: Deloitte Breach Affected All Company Email, Admin Accounts
September 25, 2017 BrianKrebs Leave a comment
Deloitte, one of the world's "big four" accounting firms, has acknowledged a breach of its internal email systems, British news outlet The Guardian revealed today. Deloitte has sought to downplay the incident, saying it impacted "very few" clients. But according to a source close to the investigation, the breach dates back to at least the fall of 2016, and involves the compromise of all administrator accounts at the company as well as Deloitte's entire internal email system.
In a story published Monday morning, The Guardian said a breach at Deloitte involved usernames, passwords and personal data on the accountancy's top blue-chip clients.
"The Guardian understands Deloitte clients across all of these sectors had material in the company email system that was breached," The Guardian's Nick Hopkins wrote. "The companies include household names as well as US government departments. So far, six of Deloitte's clients have been told their information was 'impacted' by the hack."
In a statement sent to KrebsOnSecurity, Deloitte acknowledged a "cyber incident" involving unauthorized access to its email platform.
"The review of that platform is complete," the statement reads. "Importantly, the review enabled us to understand precisely what information was at risk and what the hacker actually did and to determine that only very few clients were impacted [and] no disruption has occurred to client businesses, to Deloitte's ability to continue to serve clients, or to consumers."
However, information shared by a person with direct knowledge of the incident said the company in fact does not yet know precisely when the intrusion occurred, or for how long the hackers were inside of its systems.
This source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the team investigating the breach focused their attention on a company office in Nashville known as the "Hermitage," where the breach is thought to have begun.
The source confirmed The Guardian reporting that current estimates put the intrusion sometime in the fall of 2016, and added that investigators still are not certain that they have completely evicted the intruders from the network.
Indeed, it appears that Deloitte has known something was not right for some time. According to this source, the company sent out a "mandatory password reset" email on Oct. 13, 2016 to all Deloitte employees in the United States. The notice stated that employee passwords and personal identification numbers (PINs) needed to be changed by Oct. 17, 2016, and that employees who failed to do so would be unable to access email or other Deloitte applications. The message also included advice on how to pick complex passwords:
A screen shot of the mandatory password reset message Deloitte sent to all U.S. employees in Oct. 2016, around the time sources say the breach was first discovered.
The source told KrebsOnSecurity they were coming forward with information about the breach because, "I think it's unfortunate how we have handled this and swept it under the rug. It wasn't a small amount of emails like reported. They accessed the entire email database and all admin accounts. But we never notified our advisory clients or our cyber intel clients."
"Cyber intel" refers to Deloitte's Cyber Intelligence Centre, which provides 24/7 "business-focused operational security" to a number of big companies, including CSAA Insurance, FedEx, Invesco, and St. Joseph's Healthcare System, among others.
This same source said forensic investigators identified several gigabytes of data being exfiltrated to a server in the United Kingdom. The source further said the hackers had free reign in the network for "a long time" and that the company still does not know exactly how much total data was taken.
In its statement about the incident, Deloitte said it responded by "implementing its comprehensive security protocol and initiating an intensive and thorough review which included mobilizing a team of cyber-security and confidentiality experts inside and outside of Deloitte." Additionally, the company said it contacted governmental authorities immediately after it became aware of the incident, and that it contacted each of the "very few clients impacted."
"Deloitte remains deeply committed to ensuring that its cyber-security defenses are best in class, to investing heavily in protecting confidential information and to continually reviewing and enhancing cyber security," the statement concludes.
Deloitte has not yet responded to follow-up requests for comment. The Guardian reported that Deloitte notified six affected clients, but Deloitte has not said publicly yet when it notified those customers.
Deloitte has a significant cybersecurity consulting practice globally, wherein it advises many of its clients on how best to secure their systems and sensitive data from hackers. In 2012, Deloitte was ranked #1 globally in security consulting based on revenue.
Deloitte refers to one or more of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, a private company based in the United Kingdom. According to the company's Web site, Deloitte has more than 263,000 employees at member firms delivering services in audit and insurance, tax, consulting, financial advisory, risk advisory, and related services in more than 150 countries and territories. Revenues for the fiscal year 2017 were $38.8 billion.
The breach at the big-four accountancy comes on the heels of a massive breach at big-three consumer credit bureau Equifax. That incident involved several months of unauthorized access in which intruders stole Social Security numbers, birth dates, and addresses on 143 million Americans.
This is a developing story. Any updates will be posted as available, and noted with update timestamps.

You Can Raise AIDS Funds by Eating and Drinking (RED) in June
Throughout June, thousands of eateries, food trucks and bars are participating in a (RED) campaign by donating proceeds to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, according to a (RED) press release.
By dining out or drinking at participating businesses—including more than 13,000 locations worldwide—foodies will raise funds and awareness for the epidemic. Specifically, the goal for the culinary campaign is to prevent mother-to-child transmission of the virus.
This is the second annual EAT (RED) DRINK (RED) SAVE LIVES campaign. Chef Mario Batali leads the event, which is part of the (RED) fundraising efforts co-founded by U2 singer Bono.
This year's foodie campaign includes a number of related fundraising efforts. For example, Chipotle is offering a (RED) gift card in which 5 percent of every $25 or more purchase goes to the Global Fund, and Starbucks is donating 10 cents for very Raspberry Swirl Pound Cake or Red Berry Cheese Danish.
For more details about participating businesses, see the press release.

Even though I graduted college over a month ago, I decided to share some major things that I have learned along the way. Some of these I have experienced myself, while others I have seen my friends battle with. All in all, my experiences are what shaped me into the person I am today. Now it's time to share my wisdom with all of you.
One. Don't change your major 100 times // I have seen a ton of my friends who have changed their major around so many times and it has put them back so much. It's because when you change your major that means you're starting all over. Some of the classes that you take won't count towards your new major. It's okay to not know what you want to do with your life, but try to narrow it down before jumping ship.
Two. Save your money // I can't believe how much money I wasted at Chipotle and Starbucks instead of using my meal swipes. I wonder how much of my money Taco Bell has because I was too lazy to cook. Save your money because you will need it for more important things down the road.
Three. Build up your resume // It's great if you're in college and working at some retail job to get by. However, internships and volunteer opportunities is what's really going to make your resume stand out. Take advantage of your summers and apply to as many internships as possible!
Four. Get involved // This sort of goes hand in hand with number three, but get involved with college activities. Greek life, clubs, organizations, all of those are great things to be apart of during your four years of college. If I'm being honest with myself, this is the one thing I wish I had done. Get involved, make new friends, and beef up that resume.
Five. Talk to your advisor // I never cared to get help from my advisor until I transferred to ODU. I wish I had done it a lot sooner, because I would have been a lot more proactive when it came to registering for classes and preparing to graduate. Your advisor is there to guide you through all of the confusing college questions you may have. Take the time to meet with them.
Six. Ratemyprofessors.com // This website has saved me more than once. Whenever you are planning out your new semester, take the time to research what other students are saying about the professors around campus. If math is your hardest subject you probably don't want an intense professor. This website has helped me to ensure that I get a teacher that I can handle and who can handle me.
Seven. Time organizatoin and procrastination // It's important to give yourself time to study and do your homework. I defintely am a procrastinator but as time went on I learned that if I have an essay due on Sunday that I should start it as soon as possible. That way, I'm not waiting until the last minute to do all of my assignments. Time organization is key to getting by in college.
Eight. Slugbooks.com // DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON TEXTBOOKS (*insert clapping hands emoji*)! There are so many websites like Slugbooks or Booktornado that compare prices on multiple websites for the textbook you need. Seriously guys, I don't understand how people spent close to a thousand dollars on textbooks. It just blew my mind. Also, see if your professor is even going to use the textbooks. Obviously for math and science you'll need it, but if you wait a couple classes and your professor hasn't mentioned the textbook once, you probably don't need it. Just use your best judegement.
Nine. Just do your damn homework // I will never know why I didn't do that one homework assignment that one time. It's crazy how homework assignments can bring you down a whole letter grade. I don't care if you have to stay up until two am (that's where time organization comes to play), but just do your damn homework.
Ten. It's okay to not know what you want from your degree // I might be super negative here, but a degree is just a piece of paper. Unless you're going to be a doctor or IT person, very rarely do people get a job in their field. It's okay to not know what you want from life, college, or even your degree. It's impossible to know where you want to be four years from now. Just focus on getting good grades, enjoy your time at college, and try out new experiences. Take your time in defining who you are and what you want in life.
I hope this helped all of you new or current college students. I didn't have the best college experience, but that doesn't mean that you won't have a better experience than me. College can be a really great place to learn who you are as a person and what you want to be in the future. Take pride in knowing that you're accomplishing something that will make you stand out from the rest. Good luck to everyone still in school and let me know what you've learned during your time at school!
