LEGO The Joker Manor – yay or nay?
by Thita (admin) on December 3, 2017
in LEGO Super Heroes
One of the most interesting sets that were released for this holiday season is the #70922 LEGO Batman Movie The Joker Manor. It is big, colorful, and looks very fun. I don't know when any of our contributors will have a chance to get the set, so we can publish a hands-on review, but in the meantime, I wanted to share with you a couple of very interesting videos. They should help you make a decision if you have been considering purchasing the set. 🙂
First lets start off with the official description, so you have all the stats in front of you: Help Batman, Barbara Gordon, Alfred Pennyworth (in his classic Batsuit) and Nightwing regain control of the jokerized Wayne Manor with this massive The LEGO Batman Movie set. The Joker Manor is packed with iconic details from the movie and cool functions, including a rollercoaster encircling the whole building, a huge buildable The Joker head with trapdoor and slide, punching boxing gloves, a rocking 'The Joker' sign and rotating 'big eye' tower. The interior includes a cinema room with a romantic DVD element, kitchen with buildable microwave plus lobster and lemon-slice decorated tile elements, living room with a buildable grand piano, fireplace and bust, swimming pool room, and a music studio with guitar element and buildable mixing desk and loudspeakers. Build this magnificent manor and then recreate your favorite scenes from the movie. Includes 10 minifigures: The Joker, Batman, Barbara Gordon, Harley Quinn, Nightwing, Alfred Pennyworth Classic Batsuit, Disco Batman, Disco The Joker, Disco Batgir and Disco Robin. The Joker Manor measures over 21" (55cm) high, 25" (66cm) wide and 10" (27cm) deep. Rollercoaster train measures over 1" (3cm) high, 5" (15cm) long and 1" (3cm) wide. 3444 pieces. Price: $269.99 – BUY HERE
The first video I wanted to share with you is with LEGO Senior Designer Marcos Bessa, and LEGO Graphic Designer Paul Turcanu. It is not just the standard designer-video we are used to from previous set reveals, but a more indebt look at what goes into designing and building a large and complex set like this. I actually quite like this new video style, as it goes into more detail about the creative process. And I also like to hear personal stories from the designers, like what Marcos shares in the video. It makes purchasing a new LEGO set a more intimate experience than just buying a product, as we get to know a bit more about what the designer went through to create it.
While I haven't had a chance to build the set, I really like the overall look and color combinations. The whole set has a sort of jumped-out-of-the-pages-of-a-comic-book feel to it. The Joker sign above the entrance, the HA! HA! sign to the side, the rollercoaster, and the bright and beautiful color-combinations of The Joker over the more muted colors of Wayne Manor, all make this set a piece of art. And the backside of the Manor with more fun details and colors, and clever small builds make it look good from every angle. So, being happy with what I saw, I was very surprised that JANGBRiCKS's review on the set is quite negative (watch below).
I'm sort of torn after watching JANG's review. I still very much like the look of the set, and I think it makes a wonderful and very colorful display-piece, with some fun play-features. I do understand at least some of JANG's points though, especially that a set of this size and price could have been better balanced as far as what you can do with it. I think if LEGO designers would have made it possible to transfer The Joker Manor into the regular Wayne Manor with alternate instructions, that would have added the additional value LEGO fans like JANG are looking for.
I do feel like JANG's review on this set is kind of harsh though (which is surprising, as he is usually more positive and even forgiving in his reviews). Even with some faults, I wouldn't call this set "severely limited and dominated by compromises", or say that "it doesn't accomplish anything particularly well". I think it looks awesome, and represents well what LEGO is all about; colorful, fun, and beautifully detailed. But again, I haven't build it as of yet. And of course, I don't always have to agree with JANG (although I usually do, and I very much appreciate his reviews).
What do you think? Do you have The Joker Manor already? Have you built the set yet? Or are you planning to get it? How do you like it? Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback, so feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below! 😉

I bought the set as soon as it was released. So it was before Jang's and LEGO official videos. As soon as I found out that Marcos is the designer behind it, I already knew what to expect. And watching Jang's video just confirms it. He is by far my least favorite designer (of the big sets). I feel that he tends to use too many pieces to build the facade. For display purposes, that's great. But for functionality and playability, not so good.
But since I am using it in my amusement park, the facade and the roller coaster is the selling point for me. So in this case, it serves the purpose I want it for. But for others, it is not so good at that price point.

Very interesting observation. I also pay attention to who is in charge of designing particular sets and themes, because designers definitely have their own styles, and some I like more than others. Just want to make sure you are aware of the list of sets worked on by particular designers at Brickset, and maintained by either the designers themselves or sometimes another member. It is a very useful feature (see: https://brickset.com/bricklists/featured). I could see this set working very well as a ride in an amusement park. Great idea! 🙂
brickmaster December 3, 2017, 11:10 AM
I wonder if it is a good business practice for Lego to give designers so much influence that their style can be clearly seen in the sets they work on. While in general it could be a good thing, it could also backfire if the designer leaves for some reason. For example, what would happen if Jamie Berard is no longer in charge of designing the modulars?
DavidH December 3, 2017, 11:55 AM
Aren't there a couple of Modulars already that were not designed by Jamie? I vaguely remember the Palace Cinema and Town Hall being designed by others.
jjava December 3, 2017, 1:52 PM
Yes, Jamie doesn't design all the modulars. Astrid designed both Palace Cinema and Town Hall. He is just the lead of the creator expert line. I am a huge fan of Jamie's work.
Håkan December 3, 2017, 4:51 PM
Well, there's only a fraction of the consumer base that knows and cares about designers, and there's an extreme competition for the designer jobs there are, so it's doubtful a designer leaving would have a lot of impact, when the jobs already are so attractive.

You are "thorn"? 😉
Thorn… torn… same difference. Forgive my auto-correct. 😀
Legostuff71 December 3, 2017, 12:33 PM
I watched Jangbricks video on this set and I agree that it's better for display than for play . The inside the manor is hard to get in for play ability. Now if was made that it can change from one to the other . That would be cool. However, so far I've been avoiding Batman movie sets because I have so many of the older Batman sets . But , I am start to fall under pressure because the sets are kinda fun looking . The dark night side is starting to win.
LegoMom December 3, 2017, 4:18 PM
So many great colors! I would really like to see an Elves set of this size with all those greens and pinks and purples!
Will December 3, 2017, 4:28 PM
In a lot of ways this set reminds me of the Classic TV Series Batcave. The price is just a bit higher than what is easy to afford and doesn't hit anything out of the park.
I'll probably end up getting it, but it will probably be farther down the weait list.
I wouldn't be surprised to see this go on sale later down the line.
With that said, it looks interesting to build even if it has play limitations in the end.
Julien December 4, 2017, 1:09 AM
I wasn't attract by this set the first time but after a few reviews it's now on top list. And i think too in a few months we'll find it on sale on Amazon by example… Or in January on the LEGO website 🙂
I'll make my definitive opinion after the construction. It was the same for the set Batcave series 66 ref 76052, i was 50/50 but after the construction i love it, to play and display…

At a recent meeting of a volunteer non-profit association, one which requires dues of its members, one of the agenda items was announcing the launch of their new website.
We were told the priority was to have a simple, functional, basic online presence. A few years ago, the previous leadership had also wanted a website. They put out a Request for Proposal.
Read it this way: We cannot afford to do this, we will take the least expensive offer but we'd rather pay nothing.
The organization can obtain accurate and detailed information on the solution and its associated costs, compare and contrast the benefits of one proposed solution to another, and have some negotiating power.
Working for non-profits, I've had vendors try to hook me believing that all I cared about was cost. Every time, one vendor proposal would be to beat the lowest bid by 10% and provide the exact same service. When I heard that, they were crossed off my list. If their initial response doesn't include substantive inquires that required digging deeper into my business problem, then I know they don't care about what I am trying to do.
With that approach, I know the vendor is not committed to my mission.
I want vendors who are listening to me. I want them to ask questions. In their proposal, if they are able to take what I've given them and run with it, then I want to know.
And, that's the kind of company I want to work with.
That's the kind of company that is truly helping me.
The volatility of the economy is causing many people to take a "wait and see" attitude. Justifying every penny spent is going to become important even for larger non-profits. Calculating ROI will become more important than ever.
It will be a time to show creativity and leadership in demonstrating their marketing strategies are forward-thinking, innovative, and ROI-driven.
Non-profits will need to invest more in search engine optimization and marketing, social media, blog strategies, and making sure their website is built with the most current markup and content management strategies. Only in this way can a non-profit have the highest return possible on investment.
Now is the time for non-profits to educate themselves and adopt business process standards like Requests for Proposal. Yes, you can still "ask for help", but you need to know that you're receiving the right type of help.
I hear what your saying but when I first read the title I thought you were going to be saying something else, as in ask for help from your volunteer base and see what is available before jumping in on a commercial solution.
I've also seen a number of places, including the CRF recently (I'll spare the rant here but ask me about this if you want more info), go for commercial solutions and 'professionals' without ever consulting their volunteer base and even existing 'tech' committees for assistance. Also, the community radio station I volunteer at recently stalled it's web site revamp because the funds had dried up, without ever saying anything to the 'tech' committee that had volunteers willing to proceed with or without funds. It wasn't until I asked 'Um.. what's going on?' that things started moving again.
It seems like some places get in this mindset that if you want something done you HAVE to pay for it and that volunteer work isn't reliable or that volunteers 'aren't accountable'. I have a different take… spell out what you want, be it an RFP or the like, and find out what your volunteer base can provide towards that. If they can't meet some or all of your requirements, then work with those volunteers in finding the best commercial/professional solution to meet your needs. Involve the volunteers who are interested and have skills in the topic you're looking for a solution for at all steps, whether it's getting them to take on the RFP themselves as a volunteer project, or as assistants in managing/overseeing the project. When done right, and with reliable volunteers, many hands make light work.
Sorry.. guess I went off on a tangent there.. this may be my personal baggage speaking since I have felt rather slapped in the face on this very issue recently, but figured I'd share. Thanks for listening.
I firmly believe in leveraging the power of volunteers and inexpensive, highly qualified and competent labor. At the same time, I understand how things change in the lives of the volunteers and they aren't able to prioritize the lower ROI projects so the organizations are left high and dry.
1. The sense that because an organization is a non-profit, that gives them the excuse to not follow sound business evaluation skills and make an ongoing financial investment in technology strategy.
2. The attitude of exemption from prioritizing and investing in technological infrastructure because they are non-profit and investing in technology (even in a fundamental way) is not investing in the mission.
3. Making the largest factor in selecting a vendor being price. I believe there is a difference between cost-effective/efficient solutions and quick/cheap ones.
You bring up a good question to me: What is the appropriate way to leverage a volunteer base with a wealth of professional experience, credentials, and knowledge?
I think advisory councils and committees can be quite effective when they are used and a process has been established. After completely scoping out a project (before RFPing), some strategic decisions can be made to find out what portions of the project can completed through using the volunteer base. This can cut cost and make the funds for the project go farther.
I don't know if this is the way to go. I'm still thinking about it all. However, I do know that alienating a volunteer base and not activating them may have significantly negative repercussions when the organization needs them in a pinch later on. How can volunteers feel they are being effectively utilized and also included in the mission of the organization?
Thanks, again, for the comment, Matt. I appreciate it.

Cupie, I can't help it! Tarantino is like runny egg-yolk to me. I keep trying to turn it into sunny-side-up and all that happens is that it's scrambled...
For the same reason, I hated the film "Love Actually".
I love the bizarre, though, when it's a constructed story with an end towards which the story is driven. Have you seen "Pan's Labyrinth"? What a memorable and stunning film. I was unable to turn away; its grotesque and fairytale-like imagery remains with me, as does that powerful end scene...
Oh, but I agree....he was killed by a vampire in dusk to dawn....I told you..it's a classic...lmao.
I don't appreciate his humour but many regard him highly....I'm undecided.....as I said, he died in Dusk to Dawn and that was fine...George Clooney made it out alive...and that was the main thing...hehehe.
Oh and Cheech Marin also made an appearance.....I have to like that guy...I'm a sixties/seventies kid. Soft Spot for that humour...lol....
"hey will you look at the size of that thing? we'll never fit it on the album cover" clearly even back then...size mattered...anyway, I digress...
George Clooney made it out alive.
Yeah right. He volunteered as fish food in The Perfect Storm.
Re: The Tello Files. (All things strange, witnessed, verifyable and/or credible (?)
Hmmm..George Clooney....
Yup.....nice.....
Quote from: tellomon on June 27, 2009, 10:34:18 PM
Yep...when you're screwed...you're just screwed...lol
blame those murderous script writers...sheesh...killing George Clooney? somebody has to pay
No Depp fans here, eh?
Guys: move over.....I have Ali Larter in the Parlour. And she's ripe for the talk-about.
And Mary Elizabeth Winstead in my Gallery. Now THAT'S a looker!!!!
C):-{= <" aw bullcrap tello! everybody knows yer hot as hell for a.j. cook!!! "<<
somebody has to pay
I blame the lousy ice machine!!!
Johnny Depp is great....Pirates of the Caribbean was a favourite...so yes, there are Johnny Depp fans...but George is OK too.
Depp as Hunter S. Thompson in "Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas" or "Edward Scissorhands?
"Secret Window" sucks, but Turturro was OK.
Ahhh....Depp has had some interesting roles...and I do believe he is spunkier as a pirate rather than a freak with pointy, sharp fingers..lol
Anyways..George Clooney is a God...LOL
Any guy that would prefer to put the well being of a pot belly pig before his female equivalents..well...the guy has guts!
Secret Window was appalling. A film that relies on its ending being a surprise should not give away that ending half-way through the film - no, earlier than that.
Yeah huh.....!

Just for Tello's benefit..... went to a Beatles..... Beatnix concert last night! Talk about a great night!
John Lennon Lives!!
Hi r3830...years ago, I went to a stage play called 'Looking through a Glass Onion'......It was John Waters doing John Lennon's biography on stage - just him, no other actors....a fantastic production and the guy can sing....Not sure if it went to Melbourne, but it was a hit in Sydney.
Good morning Cupie!
I do remember that production.... didn't see it, but at that time didn't have a thirteen year-old girl who thinks that the Beatles - and in particular, John Lennon, are gods!
Well I can tell you it was a fantastic production, and John Waters sounded just like Lennon...he even took on the accent....I was really impressed by this bloke.
I also Saw Julian Clary .....just after the Rex Mossop thumping issue...lol...now that was a very very funny show....he had a huge picture of Rex Mossop on stage with pink lipstick and throughout the show he paid out on poor old Rexy as only Julian Clary could...lol...very funny...had the audience cracking up.....Sticky Moments, I've had quite a few.....lol.
The Beatles were Paul McCartney's Backup Band.
I'm sure that's the story he tells.......But my favourite Beatle has to be George Harrison - All Things Must Pass, was a classic.
Cupie, the fellow who played George in the band last night was absolutely brilliant.... even sang some of George's songs.
Tello.... Have you seen McCartney's US tour? Was great.... found the DV a week ago. The only thing that may have improved the show last night would have been if Ringo pinched your drum kit for the gig.
Look out r3830 I hear tell that Ringo's drum style wasn't exactly stunning but then, I wouldn't know as much as a drummer about these things. He's definitely no John Bonham or Keith Moon but then they're dead, so I guess they're out of the running...lol
I heard that Bonhams son is now playing drums with Led Zeppelin or soon will be...that would be good to see.
Ringo pinched your drum kit for the gig.
Nothing doin'!
Just cuz he's still alive doesn't give him carte blanche to flog with my gear....
Tello, Mate.... Crikey are your drums 24 channel.... or what????
Or what.

We investigate the ways in which humans interface with plants, technology, and environment. Our work responds to current environmental, economic, and cultural shifts in relation to land access, population growth within cities, and landscapes. Rather than simply questioning the infrastructure in place, our curiosity is motivated by an optimistic desire to re-think future relationships between plants and people.
Laura Bigger received her MFA with an emphasis in printmaking from the University of Minnesota in 2013. Her work investigates humanity's relationship to food, animals, and ecosystems. Prior to graduate school, Bigger spent several months in New Zealand where she lived and worked on a family farm that operated under a permaculture model -- sustainable agriculture based on natural eco-systems. This experience led her to further investigate the intersection of biology and art, especially sustainable systems. Bigger's MFA thesis addressed self sustaining food practices in the upper Midwest. She is now Assistant Professor of Art at Truman State University.
Artemis Ettsen is a practicing artist and architect. With expertise in 3D modeling, 3D printing, and working with a range of sites and clientele, Ettsen holds a strong skill set combing art, design, and architecture. Ettsen's work investigates how cities can further integrate produce and greenery within their vertical environment. With the Cedar Riverside Towers as her thesis project site, Ettsen designed different types of vertical gardening systems that could be implemented on the property. The project aims to reconnect the building complex to the surrounding neighborhood as well as provide alternative modes of sustainable food production.
Before relocating to Minneapolis to pursue her MFA, Teréz Iacovino worked at the Women's Studio Workshop, an internationally renowned art studio in Rosendale, New York. As their Art Farm Coordinator, in partnership with the Student Conservation Association, she grew, researched and documented sustainable plant fibers for handmade paper. Her simultaneous experiences as a gardener, educator, researcher, and artist led to an interest in using art as a pedagogical tool and aggregate for social change. Her work focuses on imperfections of technological advancements, mass production, and ownership in relation to science, agriculture, and site.

Michigan State Will Pay $500 Million to Settle With Nassar's Victims
Demonstrators gather at Michigan State University's East Lansing, Mich., campus to support victims of disgraced former sports doctor Larry Nassar and call for more changes in leadership at the school. Photo: Dale G. Young / Associated Press
Submitted |
Attorneys representing 332 survivors of former Michigan State University doctor Larry Nassar in lawsuits against Michigan State University and attorneys for the university announced a global settlement in principle totaling $500 million dollars.
The terms of the settlement are as follows:
$425 million dollars will be paid to current claimants
$75 million dollars will be set aside in a trust fund to protect any future claimants alleging sexual abuse by Larry Nassar
There will be no confidentiality agreements or non-disclosure agreements attached to the settlement. Additionally, the parties must act to address items necessary to finalize the agreement.
The settlement in principle was agreed to by the MSU Board of Trustees during a conference call held Tuesday night, May 15.
The settlement applies to only Michigan State University and MSU individuals sued in the litigation. It does not address claims against USA gymnastics, the United States Olympic Committee, Bela and Martha Karolyi, Twistars, John Geddert or any other parties.
Survivors' attorney John Manly said, "This historic settlement came about through the bravery of more than 300 women and girls who had the courage to stand up and refuse to be silenced. We appreciate the diligent efforts of Mick Grewal and the survivors' attorneys throughout the nation who worked to obtain this measure of justice and healing. We also thank the mediator and all who participated in crafting this settlement. It is the sincere hope of all of the survivors that the legacy of this settlement will be far reaching institutional reform that will end the threat of sexual assault in sports, schools and throughout our society."
"Michigan State is pleased that we have been able to agree in principle on a settlement that is fair to the survivors of Nassar's crimes," said Robert Young, special counsel to MSU. "We appreciate the hard work both sides put into the mediation, and the efforts of the mediator, which achieved a result that is responsible and equitable."

FBI warns Ag Sector of Cyber-Criminal Attacks
Ransomware may impact businesses across the sector, from small farms to large producers, processors and manufacturers, and markets and restaurants.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations warned the food and agricultural sector in a September 1 notice to be on alert and prepared for potential cyber attacks.
In doing so, the FBI outlined some precautions that companies can take.
Ransomware attacks targeting the food and agriculture sector disrupt operations, cause financial loss, and negatively impact the food supply chain.
Cyber criminal threat actors exploit network vulnerabilities to exfiltrate data and encrypt systems in a sector that is increasingly reliant on smart technologies, industrial control systems, and internet-based automation systems. Food and agriculture businesses victimized by ransomware suffer significant financial loss resulting from ransom payments, loss of productivity, and remediation costs. Companies may also experience the loss of proprietary information and personally identifiable information (PII) and may suffer reputational damage resulting from a ransomware attack.
Threat overview
According to the FBI, the food and agriculture sector is among the critical infrastructure sectors increasingly targeted by cyber attacks. As the sector moves to adopt more smart technologies and internet of things (IoT) processes the attack surface increases. Larger businesses are targeted based on their perceived ability to pay higher ransom demands, while smaller entities may be seen as soft targets, particularly those in the earlier stages of digitizing their processes, according to a private industry report. In a ransomware attack, victims' files are encrypted and made unavailable, and the attacker demands a payment for the decryption tool and key.
As of 2019, sensitive data files are commonly exfiltrated prior to encryption, and the attacker demands a payment not to publish the sensitive data on a "name-and-shame" website. This double extortion potentially gives the attacker more leverage to ensure payment, based on the potential damage caused by a significant data breach of sensitive information, said the FBI.
Threat actors may apply additional coercive tactics, such as convincing media organizations to write stories on victim security incidents, harassing employees by phone, notifying business partners of data theft, and conducting distributed denial of service attacks to further disrupt operations. According to a private industry report, cyber actors may gradually broaden their attack from just information technology (IT) and business processes to also include the operational technology (OT) assets, which monitor and control physical processes, impacting industrial production regardless of whether the malware was deployed in IT or OT systems.
The impact of ransomware attacks continues to grow. From 2019 to 2020, the average ransom demand doubled and the average cyber insurance payout increased by 65% from 2019 to 2020. The highest observed ransom demand in 2020 was $23 million, according to a private industry report. According to the 2020 IC3 Report, IC3 received 2,474 complaints identified as ransomware with adjusted losses of over $29.1 million across all sectors. Separate studies have shown 50-80% of victims that paid the ransom experienced a repeat ransomware attack by either the same or different actors. Although cyber criminals use a variety of techniques to infect victims with ransomware, the most common means of infection are email phishing campaigns, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) vulnerabilities, and software vulnerabilities.
Examples of ransomware attacks impacting food and agriculture sector businesses include the following:
- In July 2021, a U.S. bakery company lost access to their server, files, and applications, halting its production, shipping, and receiving as a result of Sodinokibi/REvil ransomware, which was deployed through software used by an IT support managed service provider (MSP). The bakery company was shut down for approximately one week, delaying customer orders and damaging the company's reputation.
- In May 2021, cyber actors using a variant of the Sodinokibi/REvil ransomware compromised computer networks in the U.S. and overseas locations of a global meat processing company, which resulted in the possible exfiltration of company data and the shutdown of some U.S.-based plants for several days. The temporary shutdown reduced the number of cattle and hogs slaughtered, causing a shortage in the U.S. meat supply and driving wholesale meat prices up as much as 25%, according to open source reports.
- In March 2021, a U.S. beverage company suffered a ransomware attack that caused significant disruption to its business operations, including its operations, production, and shipping. The company took its systems offline to prevent the further spread of malware, directly impacting employees who were unable to access specific systems, according to open source reports.
-In January 2021, a ransomware attack against an identified U.S. farm resulted in losses of approximately $9 million due to the temporary shutdown of their farming operations. The unidentified threat actor was able to target their internal servers by gaining administrator level access through compromised credentials. In November 2020, a U.S.-based international food and agriculture business reported it was unable to access multiple computer systems tied to its network due to a ransomware attack conducted by OnePercent Group threat actors using a phishing email with a malicious zip file attachment. The cybercriminals downloaded several terabytes of data through their identified cloud service provider prior to the encryption of hundreds of folders. The company's administrative systems were impacted. The company did not pay the $40 million ransom and was able to successfully restore their systems from backups.
Recommended mitigations
Cyber criminal threat actors will continue to exploit network system vulnerabilities within the food and agriculture sector, said the FBI.
The following steps can be implemented to mitigate the threat and protect against ransomware attacks:
- Regularly back up data, air gap, and password protect backup copies offline.
- Ensure copies of critical data are not accessible for modification or deletion from the system where the data resides.
- Implement network segmentation. Implement a recovery plan to maintain and retain multiple copies of sensitive or proprietary data and servers in a physically separate, segmented, secure location (i.e., hard drive, storage device, the cloud). Install updates/patch operating systems, software, and firmware as soon as they are released.
- Use multifactor authentication with strong pass phrases where possible.
- Use strong passwords and regularly change passwords to network systems and accounts, implementing the shortest acceptable timeframe for password changes.
- Avoid reusing passwords for multiple accounts.
- Disable unused remote access/RDP ports and monitor remote access/RDP logs.
- Require administrator credentials to install software.
- Audit user accounts with administrative privileges and configure access controls with least privilege in mind. Install and regularly update anti-virus and anti-malware software on all hosts.
- Only use secure networks and avoid using public Wi-Fi networks.
- Consider installing and using a VPN.
- Consider adding an email banner to messages coming from outside your organizations.
- Disable hyperlinks in received emails. Focus on cyber security awareness and training.
- Regularly provide users with training on information security principles and techniques as well as overall emerging cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities (i.e. ransomware and phishing scams).
The FBI is seeking any information that can be shared, to include boundary logs showing communication to and from foreign IP addresses, Bitcoin wallet information, the decryptor file, and/or a benign sample of an encrypted file.
The FBI does not encourage paying ransoms. Payment does not guarantee files will be recovered. It may also embolden adversaries to target additional organizations, encourage other criminal actors to engage in the distribution of ransomware, and/or fund illicit activities. However, the FBI said it understands that when victims are faced with an inability to function, all options are evaluated to protect shareholders, employees and customers.
Regardless of whether it has been decided to pay the ransom, the FBI urges the prompt reporting of ransomware incidents to its local field office or the FBI's 24/7 Cyber Watch (CyWatch). Doing so provides the FBI with critical information needed to prevent future attacks by identifying and tracking ransomware attackers and holding them accountable under U.S. law.


Reports of environmental incidents in Otago have jumped to record levels as more residents complain to the Otago Regional Council.
Yesterday a council committee discussed a report showing there had been 1913 environmental complaints in the last financial year.
That was an increase of 600 on the average for the 10 previous years.
Of those, 44% of complaints related to fresh water pollution and 31.5% to air issues.
There were 841 fresh water issue complaints, up from last year's 487 and 388 the year before.
Cr Michael Deaker said at a recent hui for the Kaikorai Stream he was told by people including council staff of incidences of paint and cement being deposited in the stream.
Cr Gretchen Robertson said the council needed an update on the stream's health.
Cr Doug Brown said the stream was in a bad state, but he imagined it was ''tracking in the right way''.
The committee asked for a water health case study on the stream.
Environmental Monitoring and Operations director Scott MacLean said he did not know the exact reason behind the increase in reported incidents. It could be that people becoming more aware of or less tolerant of environmental issues.
It was important to note multiple complaints could be made about the same issue, he told the council.
The report also showed 48% of water meters audited were found to be grade 4 or 5, which were the worst two of five grades.
It was of ''some concern'' to staff some meters were not installed correctly, or were in the wrong location, so they could monitor water takes incorrectly, the report said.
The consent holders were advised to rectify the problems with their installers.
Of all audits, which includes dairy, water meters, structures and discharge and water take, 22% of the equipment was either grade four or five.
Cr Michael Laws said this seemed ''very high''.

Well, it's rather unpleasant outside - grey skies, rain and stormy-looking seas. The waves aren't too big yet, but I doubt very much the crew will get up to their usual sunbathing on the front of the ship today! The weather station on the ship says the wind is going between Gale and Strong Gale on the Beaufort scale - gusts of wind over 45 knots at times! It's getting pretty wild out there.
This is rather stronger than when everyone got seasick on the way towards Madagascar. Hopefully, I have my "sea legs" by now (I think "Sea Legs" are all the bruises you get from being thrown off-course by unexpected shifts in the ship's movement and consequent banging into things).
A few moments ago, we were here.

Classification of severe asthma exacerbations: a proposal
C Picado
European Respiratory Journal 1996 9: 1775-1778; DOI:
The intensity of asthma exacerbations may vary from mild to severe. Many studies have demonstrated that the speed at which severe asthma exacerbation (SAE) develops varies among patients. In some asthmatics, the exacerbation comes on very quickly, whereas in others there is a progressive deterioration of clinical, functional and blood gas parameters. Sudden SAE are characterised by their explosive presentation and quick recovery. This evolution contrasts with that of patients with a slow onset SAE, who often need prolonged hospitalization. Absence of secretions suctioned from the airways during mechanical ventilation has been reported in sudden SAE, whereas large amounts of viscid mucus are found in patients with the slow onset SAE. The lungs of patients who died during a sudden onset SAE often show empty airways and a predominant neutrophilic infiltration in the bronchial epithelium, in contrast to the presence of abundant eosinophils in patients who died during a slow onset SAE. Sudden onset SAE may occur as sporadic cases or in outbreaks. Sporadic cases may result from the ingestion of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) in patients with intolerance to these products, massive exposure to common allergens and ingestion of foods containing sulphites. Asthma outbreaks have been described in many cities. In contrast to sudden onset SAE, slow onset SAE is characterized by a progressive deterioration, accompanied by an increase in the use of bronchodilators. Lack of appropriate monitoring of function by peak expiratory flow (PEF) recording, failure of patients to recognize worsening symptoms and underusage of inhaled and oral steroid treatment have been repeatedly identified as factors which are likely to be associated with slow onset SAE. The contribution of psychosocial problems, depression, denial of asthma severity and nonadherence with the treatment should not be overlooked in patients with slow onset SAE. Classification of severe asthma exacerbations into two types (sudden onset and slow onset) could help to reveal the aetiology of the attack and may also be relevant to the management of the patient.

You'll probably not agree with all of the statements here, dear nutshellcrackers, but I think that these statements are worth thinking about.
Thanks for checking this out and reblogging! It's definitely a piece meant to provoke thought, not necessarily asking for agreement on everything. Some of it I myself don't believe firmly, some of it is meant to converse with other lines in the piece and so on, so you're absolutely right, feel free to read and think for yourself!

The size of the Earth is still the same in the 21st century and will be thereafter. With the rapid increase in the population of the world, there is a greater need to use resources efficiently. Ironically, the 21st century is marked for new fashions and objects with changing times, despite the urgency to manage resources well. It is in this context, 'Buy Me Once' is gaining attention and support from various eco- friendly groups and also from everyone, who loves to save nature and money.
All these factored into the creation of 'Buy Me Once.' The products at Buy Me Once are the right choice for two reasons. The products at Buy Me Once comes with a tag of either lifetime guarantee or a recyclable option. Such products thereby help in reducing land fillings. They are therefore eco- friendly. The other one is that they are economically efficient in the long run. There is no need to spend money again and again on the same product.
A nationally representative survey conducted by Wrap, who campaign for a sustainable resource-efficient economy, showed that half of all consumers would be willing to pay extra for products that are advertised to last longer. This survey reveals that there are several customers who feel like Tara as far as resources are concerned.
Tara is currently in quest of manufacturers who share the similar ideas. She added that 'one of my hopes is for 'Buy Me Once' to become a 'kite mark' of longevity. So manufacturers would be able to say 'This is a Buy Me Once kettle' or 'This is our Buy Me Once furniture range', That would be amazing.
Buy Me Once has started off at the right time and is a great step towards making the Earth safe from both environment and economic point of view.

Levan attends national championship game
Joseph Olvey, News Writer
Custodian Tim Levan attended this year's 2012 BCS National Championship football game, Monday, Jan. 9 at the SuperDome in New Orleans, LA.
The game was a match-up between the undefeated LSU Tigers and the 11-1 Alabama Crimson Tide. The Tide's only loss this year was to the LSU Tigers on their home turf in Tuscaloosa, Saturday, Nov. 5, 2011.
Levan flew into New Orleans on a roughly one-hour flight. The SuperDome's outdoor lighting set the stage for the indoor celebratory atmosphere.
"I enjoyed the party atmosphere," Levan said. "Everything was set up to make sure that you had a good time."
Levan felt that most of the spectators were friendly, and excited to be there. Many fans dressed up with costume accessories to evoke the Mardi Gras atmosphere that New Orleans is famous for.
"Although the majority of fans just wanted to have a good time, there were those few arrogant LSU fans who were oddly dressed and disgruntled over their loss," Levan said.
Levan, enjoyed the game with his father, brother, and sister-in-law.
"My favorite part of the game was the way that Alabama came out and dominated the field, without letting LSU put any points on the board," Levan said. "It truly showed who the best team in the nation was."
He was so impressed with the game, that he even watched it again.
"After the game we flew home," Levan said. "When we got home, we where too excited to sleep, so we watched the tape of the game and celebrated until 5 o'clock in the morning."
Levan has had Alabama football season tickets since the early 1990s, when Gene Stallings was coaching. In addition to supporting the football program, Levan also attends many Crimson Tide baseball and basketball games.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that typically presents as episodes of intense facial pain, usually affecting one side of the face. In particular, the pain is noted to affect the parts of the face innervated by the trigeminal nerve. Trigeminal neuralgia is also known as prosopalgia or Fothergill's disease. When trigeminal neuralgia is accompanied by hemifacial spasm, it is known as tic douloureux.
The trigeminal nerve is a paired cranial nerve (cranial nerve V) that branches into three nerves: 1) the ophthalmic nerve; 2) the maxillary nerve; and 3) the mandibular nerve. Trigeminal neuralgia can affect a one, two, or all three branches. It occurs bilaterally in up to 12% of cases. Typically, the maxillary and mandibular branches are involved, leading to pain in the ear, eye, lips, nose, scalp, forehead, cheeks, teeth, jaw, or any part of the face.
The pain from this condition is episodic, and can last anywhere from a few seconds to minutes, or even hours. Patients typically describe an area of the face that triggers the pain, although spontaneous episodes of pain are not uncommon.
Pain can be triggered by even the most innocuous activities, such as eating, shaving, talking, or brushing teeth. In more severe cases, even a light breeze can trigger pain. The attacks of pain have been described as electric shocks, burning, shooting or exploding pain. Pain attacks have been noted to be more frequent and more easily triggered over time, and can interfere with the activities of daily living.
It is theorized that trigeminal neuralgia results from dysfunction of the trigeminal nerve. This can be from irritation caused by contact between the nerve and a blood vessel, the loss of myelin sheath protection, or even tumors. Idiopathic cases of trigeminal neuralgia have also been documented.
Oral medications are usually the first line therapy for trigeminal neuralgia. Carbamazepine, which is an anticonvulsant, is a recommended first line treatment. In cases where this fails, drugs that can be used include baclofen, lamotrigine, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, gabapentin, pregabalin, and sodium valproate. Some trials suggest clonazepam and lidocaine can be effective, although further evaluation is needed.
Pain medications such as oxycodone and morphine have been shown to be effective, particularly when combined with gabapentin. Other treatment regimens that have been shown to be effective include antidepressants such as amitriptyline and duloxetine, although these are reserved for cases where the chronic pain is accompanied by depressive symptoms.
Surgical intervention for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia is not typically recommended and is only considered after the failure of nonsurgical options. The evidence for surgical therapy is currently poor and numerous postoperative complications have been documented. The surgical techniques vary, although microvascular decompression has been shown to provide the longest pain relief.
Percutaneous radiofrequency thermorhizotomy has also been shown to be effective, although the relief of symptoms wanes over time. Injections of glycerol to interrupt the transmission of pain signals has also provided benefit to some patients. These procedures are also associated with postoperative numbness.

The envelope was placed in a paper shredder before it was decided to direct it to the interests of the Ministry of the Interior.
