"We Christians have nothing to do with what is happening in the streets these days, ok? Don't tell me we're going to the streets and protesting. I urge every family to take its son and daughter and go directly home, make a nice breakfast and switch on the TV; at least, this is what I'm going to do."
The priest's comment was followed by soft laughter from the audience. I felt outraged.
While walking back from church, I kept thinking over and over about the subtle message underlying the priest's words to Christians, "Do nothing, be passive, and just watch!" In fact, I thought about this very same topic the other day when two of my fellow Egyptians and I reflected on our role in the revolution in Egypt during a panel here in Washington, DC. The group included one Christian (myself), and two Muslims. Yet, when we talk about the challenges we face, it is not as Christian or Muslim, but as Egyptians. Egypt has had a long and complex history when it comes to these two religions, but I believe and I hope that most young Egyptians are starting to realize that we must address these issues in a unified way if we are going to succeed.
Unfortunately, this has not been consistently the case. For years and years, many of the Christians in Egypt have been taking a passive stand on what is happening on the national level. Many, if not the majority, have been confining themselves to an isolated Christian community -- a ghetto. Part of this isolation can be attributed to the special nature of the Coptic Orthodox church institutions in Egypt, which act more like a comprehensive community centre than just a prayer house. Inside the Coptic Church institution, Coptic Christians are raised. In the process, they develop life-long family and friends, learn about God, others and themselves, and practice their social and spiritual life to the full. Even when most Christians choose to do community service, they do it through the church. Another reason for this isolation is the fact that many Coptic Christians in Egypt don't feel comfortable dealing with Muslims and going into deep relationships with them. They prefer to keep those relationships to a minimum, confining them to college or work settings.
It is ironic to think of the fact that even though many Christians had Muslim friends during college years, worked with Muslim colleagues, and exchanged felicitations with Muslims during big events and religious occasions; they usually had the underlying perception that they would never have a sincere and meaningful relationship with a Muslim. It was a relationship built on distrust, which made many Christians interpret any of the negative actions taken by Muslims as purely religious discrimination. I wouldn't argue that there isn't religious discrimination in Egypt against Christians by some Muslims. I would assertively claim that there is also a subtle discrimination in Egypt against Muslims by some Christians. How many Christian business owners prefer to hire Christian workers instead of Muslims claiming that Christians are more trustworthy or claiming that if they didn't hire Christians, who else would?
On January 28th, most of the Coptic Christians in Egypt preferred not to participate in what's happening in their country. They went to churches, prayed to God and then went home to watch their fellow citizens fighting and getting killed to liberate their country. However, gradually the scene started to change. As days passed and protests moved forward, many Christians realized how they have always been an inseparable part of this country, and that much of the oppression and persecution that fell on them was from the corrupt government and not from their fellow Muslim citizens. Specifically, many Christians believe that the ex-Minister of Interior was directly involved in the New Year's Eve church bombings in Alexandria.
Gradually, waves of Christians started flowing to El-Tahrir square and other parts across Egypt to take part in the glorious moments in Egyptian history, and to claim their rights as Egyptian citizens. Who can forget this grand moment when Muslim protesters were praying in El-Tahrir square amid the protests, while Christian protesters surrounded them to protect them from the brutal police attacks? It was a moment where the protesters transcended all the differences among them and remembered what unites them: a quest for freedom.
Now, during the most critical period in Egypt's life, when Egyptian citizens are working hard to ensure Egypt's safe transition to democracy, one asks the question: Where will Coptic Christians be during this period? Are they going back to their isolation? Or, will they realize that if they don't become active members in their country, they might lose their voice and their place in their country as a new day dawns. I continue to believe that it will be the latter, because months ago, many of us wondered if change was ever possible, and now, Egyptians of all walks of lives and religions are starting to believe that anything is possible.


Wild Rockets is a NetEnt-powered slot equipped with five reels that are arranged in a 3-4-5-4-3 configuration. Instead of using a standard payline-based model, the developer has put in place a unique 720 Ways To Win system whereby winning combos are formed by matching symbols landed anywhere on consecutive reels. Besides, in Wild Rockets winning combos are created from left to right AND right to left (Win Both Ways feature). A bet is adjusted from $0.5 to $100 per spin, so the slot will appeal to both low-limit players and high-rollers alike. The slot has a unique wild symbol. Whenever a wild appears on a reel, it fires rockets up or down that reel transforming all symbols the rockets are flying over into wilds. The slot features a scatter that triggers 10, 20 or 50 free spins if three, four or five of them appear in any position. Five scatters award the slot's grand prize worth x200 times a total bet (or $20,000 if betting max). In closing, Wild Rockets is a fast-action slot with massive payouts and highly rewarding special features.


We have been talking about being appointment only since the beginning, but how do you keep clients from leaving you?
You bless them, and do a few key detailed things so you create abundance and overflow in your barber business.
First, build your customers confidence; often your customers tell you what they need, pay attention to how they say their day was going or remember that the last time you saw them they were looking for a new job.
Ask them questions, get to know what is going on in their life and be genuinely interested in what's going on. & If you get the chance to help or encourage them take that opportunity.
The whole service you're treating them like royalty so after you bar the cut (line ups crispy, blend is perfect) make sure you magnify it with Nhance so you give them that irreplaceable feeling.
Third, everyone of your clients should leave you feeling like they can take on the world.
So don't be afraid to compliment your customers!
For Example: Say your client is trying a new hairstyle and without them saying it you can sense that they're nervous about their new look.
Give them your honest opinion and if you like it tell them: "This style looks good on you"
Your compliment will give them that extra pep in their step so they can shine, and trust me when they ready to glow again - they will make an appointment to sit in your chair.
The words of encouragement go a long way!
Any chance you have to let your customer know you care - TAKE IT!
When my clients come to see Chuka The Barber they know they're coming to up their frequency because its nothing but high vibrations in The Rich Barber Hair Studio.
When you're able to put those things in your service you will have a crazy demand in your barber business that will ensure that you have no time for walk-ins.

Getting your car into and out of tight parking spots is a problem that drivers have been dealing with since the very first generation of cars hit the road. Almost immediately after that, some wise soul had the idea to add a fifth wheel that lowers down to the street to swing a car's back end out of parking spots. Although it was a brilliant concept, it never quite caught on in the mass market.
This newsreel from the 1950s shows the original device patented by one Irvin Carpenter. The video shows in detail just how useful a fifth wheel could be for people looking to drive into and out of otherwise-inaccessible spaces.
This video from Egypt shows that the concept is still alive and well today. The modern car was modified by its owner with a fifth wheel that works in almost exactly the same way as Carpenter's original. Short of hovering cars, this seems like one of the best ideas for making urban driving just a little less stressful.

Is it smart to take the tax hit now from a rental property acquired through a 1031 exchange and pay off all my debt?
I have a rental property worth $350,000 that I could sell and pay off the mortgage on my personal residence, car loan, and about $30,000 in credit card debt. The rental property was acquired through a 1031 exchange so I would owe about $42,000 in taxes (according to my accountant). Is it smart to take the tax hit now and pay off all my debt?
Is the property cash flowing? How much?
Is the rental property paid off?
How long until your primary residence is paid off?

Church Hill Theatre | Reviews
★★★☆☆ Fun and Eclectic
Church Hill Theatre: Tue 25 – Sat 29 Sept 2018
Review by Sarah Moyes
The biggest songs in rock, pop and musical theatre are celebrated in Showcase 2018 on at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday.
Since it started over 25 years ago, Showcase has set the bar high when it comes to putting on entertaining productions and this year's show doesn't disappoint. It's also raised over £270,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support so far, an impressive total that everyone who works on Showcase should be proud of.

The show opens with Make Your Own Kind of Music. It's an enjoyable enough, but the show well and truly begins with a collection of songs dedicated to the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber from well-known classics including Jesus Christ Superstar and Cats.
His most recent musical venture is marked with two songs from School of Rock which opened on Broadway in 2015. The ensemble put on their school uniforms for the rock anthem Stick It To The Man with its loud and rebellious chorus led by Jimmy Redmond, before Clare Henderson sings a beautiful version of Where Did The Rock Go?. Unfortunately, despite an impressive vocal performance, there are moments where Clare's voice becomes lost behind the dominant live band.
It wouldn't be a celebration of Andrew Lloyd Webber's music without a nod to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Andrew Edmonstone gives a very powerful performance of Close Every Door in front of a stage lit up with technicolour spotlights.
As we enter the glitz and glamour of the 1970s in the Gods of Glam section of the show, there's a variety of costumes on stage which sadly look more like a dodgy fancy dress party than a convincing snapshot of the decade. That aside, it's a very entertaining and lively section with full chorus performances of Spirit in the Sky and Tiger Feet, a welcome contrast to the ballads which have come before.
refreshing and current
It's back to the world of theatre next with songs from Time and West Side Story, but it's the Hamilton medley that really stands out, a refreshing and current variation to the more traditional theatre songs. Harry Dozier shines as he raps his way through The Room Where It Happens, a fantastic way to open the medley which works perfectly alongside Claire Smith's hip hop choreography.
Showcase 2018 company. Pic: Ryan Buchanan
The highlight of the medley and the whole first act is without a doubt Found/Tonight, a collaboration between The Story of Tonight from Hamilton and You Will Be Found from Dear Evan Hansen. Both Harry Dozier and Keith Kilgore give strong, confident and emotional performances that really set them apart from the other songs in the set.
This first act comes to a close with a trio of songs from Les Misérables, with the ever popular One Day More closing the act to a rapturous applause.
It's time to enter the circus as the second act opens with a tribute to The Greatest Showman – it's loud, bright and upbeat as the film's opening number The Greatest Show echoes around the theatre accompanied by an array of colourful costumes and entertaining dance.
Elsewhere, Jacqui Mills gives a really moving performance of Tightrope, and while Emma Clarkson and David Bartholomew both give a solid performance of Rewrite The Stars, the softer parts of the song are again difficult to hear over the band.
Scottish Songwriters
Scotland has some incredible songwriters and it's great to see Musical Director David McFarlane include them in this year's show under the Scottish Songwriters section. David Bartholomew kicks things off with an excellent performance of Midge Ure's If I Was before he's joined by a tartan clad chorus for Mary's Prayer, and Kym Robertson gives Annie Lennox a run for her money with a beautiful version of Why.
Gaynor Boe and company. Pic Ryan Buchanan
The finale section is a mixed bag full of music from current songs, new musicals and famous weddings. Jennifer McIntosh shows off her stunning vocals on duet You Are The Reason with the equally excellent Andy McGarry, before the full chorus launches into Waving Through A Window from one of Broadway's newest musicals, Dear Evan Hansen. There's a spirited rendition of one of Bay City Rollers' most famous songs Shang-A-Lang, and Harry Dozier blows the audience away with an utterly flawless performance of Stand By Me.
It's back to The Greatest Showman for tonight's closing number, This Is Me. It's big, bold and hugely entertaining and a great way to end this year's performance.
Once again, Director Andy Johnston has put on a hugely enjoyable show filled with an eclectic mix of songs that everyone will enjoy. Sure, there are a few moments where the vocals are lost behind the band, but overall it's a very entertaining show.
Running time: Two hours and 35 minutes (including one interval)

Culinary Artistry
by Andrew Dornenburg
1 Cedar Hills
"In Culinary Artistry...Dornenburg and Page provide food and flavor pairings as a kind of steppingstone for the recipe-dependent cook...Their hope is that once you know the scales, you will be able to compose a symphony."a Molly O'Neil in The New York Times Magazine.
For anyone who believes in the potential for artistry in the realm of food, Culinary Artistry is a must-read. This is the first book to examine the creative process of culinary composition as it explores the intersection of food, imagination, and taste. Through interviews with more than 30 of America's leading chefsa including Rick Bayless, Daniel Boulud, Gray Kunz, Jean-Louis Palladin, Jeremiah Tower, and Alice Watersa the authors reveal what defines "culinary artists," how and where they find their inspiration, and how they translate that vision to the plate. Through recipes and reminiscences, chefs discuss how they select and pair ingredients, and how flavors are combined into dishes, dishes into menus, and menus into bodies of work that eventually comprise their cuisines.
"The husband-and-wife writing team of Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page--he is a chef, she a journalist--has produced four books in the past six years, and these are the best place to experience the cult of the New American chef." (The New Yorker, September 2001)

"CULINARY ARTISTRY seemed to pull together everything that was missing in my ideology of food....It is a myriad of endless flavour combinations....One particular chapter fascinates me: 'Meet Your Medium.' This chapter encapsulates all that is important to cooking....What I love about this book is the fact that it can give you a framework on which to build your own food style." —John Campbell, executive chef, the Michelin two-star restaurant The Vineyard at Stockcross, Berkshire, England
"CULINARY ARTISTRY is absolutely brilliant. I now recommend it to aspiring mixologists as a key resource for understanding the ideas and theories behind creating unique flavor combinations and generally how to approach the craft as an artisan."—Ryan Magarian, mixologist

"When you're in a kitchen where you have lots of cooks coming and going, someone's always dragging their favorite book in and it's dog-eared from use.

Blueliv, a leading European enterprise-class cyberthreat intelligence company, today announced its new report on The Credential Theft Ecosystem.
According to Blueliv's credential detection data, since the start of 2018 there has been a 39% increase in the number of compromised credentials detected from Europe and Russia, compared to the same period in 2017 (January-May). In fact, Blueliv observations conclude that Europe and Russia are now home to half of the world's credential theft victims (49%).
When Russian credential victims are removed from the dataset, this year-over-year comparison jumps to 62%. The Eurasian growth figures tracked by Blueliv are surprisingly higher than North America's, which actually recorded a decline by almost half (48%) year over year. These startling increases in cybercriminal success rates suggest that the credential theft industry is growing in the European region both in innovation and scope.
The report also observes some interesting trends in malware families being used to harvest these credentials. Pony, KeyBase and LokiPWS (also known as Loki Bot) have consistently been the most active stealers since the start of 2017, but Pony has always been several lengths ahead of its malware counterparts in terms of popularity. However, since the start of 2018, Blueliv has observed that LokiPWS has been narrowing the gap: the highest number of stealer samples detected by Blueliv's infrastructure each month has now become a two-horse race between LokiPWS and Pony.
In fact, LokiPWS malware distribution has increased by more than 300% in the past year. More recently, since January to May 2018, there has been a 167% increase in samples classified by Blueliv. Currently, it is possible to purchase LokiPWS from a variety of underground markets as a modular product (stealer, wallet stealer and loader) with prices ranging between $200-400, depending on the desired functionality.

CRESCENT CITY, Calif. – An attempted burglary at a California supply store was thwarted when the manager threw hot coffee in the face of a masked intruder.
Chris Hegnes, manager of the Englund Marine and Industrial Supply, was going into work early Monday morning when he encountered a man in a mask charging at him with a hammer.
Hegnes says he hurled his hot mocha at the man's face and ran for it.
The man came after him for a few steps, then ran to a vehicle parked behind the store.
Hegnes says the man apparently had been trying to break into a safe using the store's hardware tools. The man didn't get away with much, but damaged some tools.
The sheriff's office is investigating.

I've been quite clear that not all Muslims should be attacked/tarnished for attacks like those in Paris, but you can almost forgive those that do when you see the majority of Turkish fans loudly booing & chanting Alluhu Akbar the minutes silence during their match against Greece.
Truly vile.

I've been in Bangladesh since 2011. It has always felt like an incredibly safe country and the warmth of the people is a huge factor in why I've remained for so long.
However, in the past 2 months an Italian man and a Japanese man were shot and killed in separate incidents. A bomb explosion in Dhaka targeting Shia muslims killed one and injured 80 and two attacks on police at a road checkpoint left two policemen dead. In past year several atheist bloggers have been hacked to death and there is a list with specific targets. All of the murdered bloggers were on this list and one was killed in a packed street in one of Dhaka's busiest areas.
All of the attacks were claimed by IS. The concerning thing is I don't believe the attacks were directly carried out by IS, but by affiliates here, or by have-a-go heroes who have been brainwashed by their previous actions and propaganda.
These are worrying times and Bangladesh is a country that really doesn't need such negative publicity. The economy is growing fast, but you can be sure that these types of stories will begin to hit businesses and investment hard as companies look elsewhere for safer, more secure business environments.

Religion and Islam in particular is inherently intolerant and violent. You have Islamic countries in which apostasy is punishable by death. The Quran has passages which directly incite violence against non-Muslims so I'm not surprised that a largely Muslim Turkish crowd would appear to show support for the terrorist attacks. I agree when you say you shouldn't tar all Muslims with the same brush but criticism of Islam is justified and until the Religion goes under a reformation, as his happened with Christianity for example, I think we will continue to see Islamic extremism like we have since the turn of the Millenium. This isn't going to happen anytime soon though in the Middle East as there is no right to not be Religious. In an ideal world Religion wouldn't exist but that's never going to happen.

Probably the most tolerant of all is Israel. I use to regularly visit a factory in Tiberius where Muslims, Jews, Christians and Druse all worked happily alongside each other. Across the road from the hotel I used to stay at, in Tel Aviv (King David Intercontinental), there is a large Mosque.
Throughout the Middle East there are big populations of Christian Arabs.

The place for justice and punishment is in the courts (and it wasn't as is Jihadi John was a clear and present danger to anyone that moment he was killed).
Quinny are you actually saying that Jihadi John shouldn't have been killed but arrested and taken through the courts?
An opportunity could well have come about in the coming months where it would have been possible to capture him: if the West are insistent on taking out ISIS, they won't do it from the air alone, so the scenario in Syria/Libya will change over the coming months. But there was absolutely no legal case for him being taken out when he was - Cameron couldn't even use the "clear evidence of an immediate threat to the UK" argument like he did with the previous drone strike which in itself was stretching to the absolute limit the legal interpretation of article 51 of the UN Charter which cited self-defence as justification (and I apologise fat_green_belly: I forgot all about that strike). It was a targetted assassination without any immediate threat, and no legal justification.
BTW - many of the families of his victims (American and British) have said they'd rather he stood trial - didn't take much comfort about justice being done for their sons just because he was blown to pieces in an instant.
"Clear evidence of an immediate threat to the uk".
Isnt the clear evidence of the threat to the uk that he butchered 2 uk aid workers and
the immediacy is in that if he gets another he will do the same. Plenty of uk citizens
to be abducted in the region. Anyway i doubt the UN charter was written with modern
terrorism in mind. What is the point of the UN anyway if one country can veto the whole
principle of a UNITED nations . Putin controlling the UN.
A facist controlling world affairs. Great institution.

Sounds like fundamentalism is reaching new areas.
My first memory of the words "islamic fundamentalism" was around mid 80s and the overthrow
in iran of the shah with the ayotollah. Then around early 90s i remember watching a tv chat
show and a muslim lady said then that the biggest threat to world peace in the future was
going to come from the rise of islamic fundamentalism. At the time i thought no way but
over time it now looks like her prediction is coming true.

Then the Egyptians took up the pursuit, and all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea. At the morning watch, the LORD looked down on the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud and brought the army of the Egyptians into confusion. He caused their chariot wheels to swerve, and He made them drive with difficulty; so the Egyptians said, "Let us flee from Israel, for the LORD is fighting for them against the Egyptians." read more.
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen." So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak, while the Egyptians were fleeing right into it; then the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even Pharaoh's entire army that had gone into the sea after them; not even one of them remained.
The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he chased after the sons of Israel as the sons of Israel were going out boldly. Then the Egyptians chased after them with all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and they overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon. As Pharaoh drew near, the sons of Israel looked, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they became very frightened; so the sons of Israel cried out to the LORD. Then they said to Moses, "Is it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you dealt with us in this way, bringing us out of Egypt? "Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians'? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness." But Moses said to the people, "Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever. "The LORD will fight for you while you keep silent." Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward. "As for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land. "As for Me, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them; and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. "Then the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I am honored through Pharaoh, through his chariots and his horsemen." The angel of God, who had been going before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them. So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud along with the darkness, yet it gave light at night. Thus the one did not come near the other all night. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night and turned the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided. The sons of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

Google researchers reveal exploit that let hackers 'own' iPhones REMOTELY – but waited 6 months to tell the world
Ian Beer, a member of Google's Project Zero hacking team, revealed on Monday that iPhones and other Apple devices could be remotely hijacked and turned into surveillance tools until May, when he said Apple patched the vulnerability. The hacker not only didn't have to touch the device, but need not ever even see it.
Using the iPhone's Apple Wireless Direct Link, an Apple-exclusive protocol that enables iOS devices to talk to each other in features like AirDrop and Sidecar, Beer was able to remotely hijack the iPhone.
From a distance, he was able to read messages, page through photos, download data, and even watch and listen to the user by activating the phone's microphone and camera. Even if the user turned AWDL off, he was able to turn it back on.
While Beer's hack took six months and he claims to have "no evidence that these issues were exploited in the wild," he urged caution regarding the exploit, suggesting it was the wrong response to assume "no one will spend six months of their life just to hack my phone, I'm fine."
Instead, [the response] should be: one person, working alone in their bedroom, was able to build a capability which would allow them to seriously compromise iPhone users they'd come into close contact with.
In a Project Zero blog post detailing the hack, Beer suggests that the use of directional antennas and other transmission-boosting technology could significantly expand the range of such an attack, and pointed out that while it had taken him six months to work through the vulnerability, he was just a single person, while there are entire companies and military divisions with teams of specialists who'd make short work of such a hack.
Given the seriousness of the vulnerability, it's not clear why Apple never bothered to tell its customers, even after supposedly patching the exploit with a series of security updates back in May. The tech giant has not denied the exploits existed – Beer was even credited in the update documentation.
Thanks to the delay, however, users who halted automatic updates out of concern for the Covid-19 contact-tracing platform Apple integrated into recent versions of their operating system have missed their chance to download the patch for the exploit. While Beer stated that the vulnerability was fixed shortly before the contact tracing platform went live, it's no longer possible to download the pre-contact-tracing update – meaning privacy-conscious iPhone users are now forced to choose between leaving this backdoor wide open or throwing open the front door.
Apple's sketchy record on privacy has put the company in the hot seat again over the last few weeks. A group of European privacy activists filed a complaint against the tech giant last month over its "Identifier for Advertisers" tracking code, which allows not just Apple but third parties to track users' behavior. The group, called NOYB (None of Your Business) has accused Apple of violating European privacy laws, since the consumer is not asked for consent before the tracking begins.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found that the Guantánamo war court can't use those charges for events that took place before Congress created them as crimes in the Military Commissions Act of 2006.
Hicks was accused of war crimes related to conduct before his capture in late 2001.
Hicks' lawyers had earlier appealed the conviction as the "unknowing, unintelligent, and involuntary" act of a tortured, suicidal captive at the U.S. military prison camps in Cuba. The military appeals court has yet to hear that appeal.

New Case: Deus Ex Preview Leaked
Square Enix Limited v. Does 1-15
U.S. District Court, Western District of Washington
Case No. 11-cv-01045, Filed June 22, 2011
Square Enix has filed a new lawsuit against unknown Italian individuals who infiltrated its preview of the new "Deus Ex: Human Revolution" game, downloaded the game, and distributed the preview to third parties.
According to the complaint, and as is common in the video game industry, Square Enix arranged a limited preview of an unpublished version of the game for select members of the video game press. These selected entities could access the game distribution platform through a secret, protected Internet portal. The reviewers were required to sign non-disclosure agreements, prohibiting any distribution of the game preview, and limiting the information they were allowed to disclose about the game.
One of the video game reviewers authorized to view the game preview was an Italian video game review magazine, GMC. Unknown individuals logged into the restricted internet portal to view the game preview using GMC's access information. According to the complaint this was done without the permission or knowledge of the GMC reviewer, and came from an IP address not associated with GMC. The unknown defendants then proceeded to copy the game preview, and distribute it to other unknown third-party defendants using peer to peer file sharing.
Square Enix is claiming direct, contributory, and vicarious copyright infringement. It has also brought claims under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, citing a provision that allows for claims against unlawful access to information on a "protected computer" used in interstate or foreign commerce. Square Enix contends that its protected internet portal satisfies the description of "protected computer" found in the act. They cite damages in excess of $5000, and are seeking a permanent injunction of copying and republishing against defendants, as well as actual and statutory damages, and attorney's fees and costs. We'll update you on future developments in this case.

With the exception of "play ball," there is perhaps no more exciting phrase in sports than "game seven." And that's what we have tonight: a game seven between two teams sharing a combined 176-year title drought. One way or another tonight, one of the two longest championship slumps in Major League Baseball will end. Which one will it be?
By the narrowest of margins, my simulator has the Chicago Cubs as the favorites in tonight's deciding game of the 2016 World Series. But fear not, fans of the Cleveland Indians: the game is essentially a coin flip. Between the Cubs' superior RPScore and the Indians' home field advantage, the two squads are almost as evenly matched as possible.
In theory, this should make for a classic that will echo through the ages. In practice, nothing is assured. What is assured: RP will be back soon after the conclusion of the 2016 World Series with a recap of the playoffs and the model and simulator's performance this past month. For those of you who have been following my coverage this far, thanks as always for your readership.

Baton Rouge, LA (LifeNews.com) — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal signed a bill Tuesday that gives pro-life doctors and other medical professionals more conscience protections on abortion under state law. The covers both public and private health care workers and allows them to opt out of involvement in abortions.
The measure also allows withdrawal from participating in anti-life bioethics practices such as human cloning, euthanasia or embryonic stem cell research.
The bill allows the medical workers to receive job protection and legal immunity from employer discrimination if they refused to participate in the practices.
Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union opposed the conscience protection for doctors and health care workers claiming that it would somehow reduce access the medical services, even though that has not been the case in other states.
Rep. Bernard LeBas, a Democrat from Ville Platte, sponsored the bill, HB 517, that allows "any person . . . not to" participate in the objectionable practices or dispense "abortifacient drugs," that would include the mifepristone abortion pill and the morning after pill, which can cause an abortion in limited circumstances.
The bill almost didn't make it to Jindal in its correct form as members of the state House, led by pro-abortion Rep. John Bel Edwards, amended it to make it so only healthcare providers in the public sector are entitled to conscience protection for a limited amount of procedures.
However, thanks to the calls, emails and public lobbying from pro-life advocates, the state Senate approved HB 517 and added an amendment making sure all health care professionals receive the benefit of the legislation.
Benjamin Clapper, the head of the Louisiana Right to Life Federation, said the Senate passed the amended bill on a bipartisan 31-2 vote.
"While Louisiana Right to Life was relentlessly working over the past week to earn our Senators' support of HB 517, it was not till around 40 pro-lifers descended on the Senate yesterday morning that the victory was in hand," Clapper told LifeNews.com at the time.
"Also, many thanks to Senator Amedee who amended the bill to protect both the consciences of public and private health care professionals," he added.
ACTION: Contact Gov. Bobby Jindal at https://www.gov.louisiana.gov and thank him for signing the conscience clause bill into law.

Drop the term poltergeist, and also every other term that gives an emotional slant to ghosts. If you just refer to them all as ghosts, then we can concentrate on the matter and not the term.
There are ghosts all around us, all the time. It is just that they exist on a parallel plane to us. So, to see a ghost, you need to cross that line and enter the plane where ghosts reside.
Pick a day when you have lots of time. Turn off all electronic devices. Make a cup of tea or coffee. Relax. Close you eyes and think of a recently departed person you know. Let your mind just float around and do not try to find anything. What ever comes to you is relevant, but you might not connect it right away. After some time, go about your normal business, but keep a little space inside you to receive messages or just to think.
Repeat this process many times. The key is not to rush and not to expect anything to happen. you will realise that your own perception starts to change.
This is all i can tell you without meeting you.

The Joy Of Sax....
Abel Raise The Cain + The Mexanines + Serinette, KU, 12.12.14
I feel like I should be submitting a 'sorry this is so late' note here, since this has taken almost two bleedin' weeks to write. Due to the pesky lurgy and all its associated yuckiness, this review is to be my last live review of 2014. Luckily the year has ended on a real high. The date is December 12th, the venue is KU, the place is packed and there's a stellar lineup with their names in lights over the bar that are just itching to hit the stage.
Serinette started the show with a bang. Lauded by many as a band that are at their best live, tonight was the first time I'd got to see them in action - and they really deserve that reputation. From funk-tinged opener Roadshow And The Hitchhiker all the way through to final song Pushing Me Slowly everything was punchy, tight and energetic. Singer Lou has a voice that manages to be soft and powerful at the same time, stage prescence by the bucketload and a surprising amount of energy considering she is absolutely tiny. During Turquoise World (up there with Russia as my favourites of the night) there's an appearance of an instrument not seen since my childhood - the melodica. Awesome (and so flipping catchy that I'm humming it now as I write). New single Bigger Better is due for release in the new year and went down well with the crowd. The whole set's been upbeat, musically spot-on and so damn fun. Can't believe I've not seen them sooner!
Next up were The Mexanines - another first for me and a band I'd wanted to tick off my list for a long time (not just because they're from my hometown of Bradford....that's just a bonus). Opening with Fires set a moody, atmospheric tone and showcased the bloody impressive falsetto of frontman James. There's so much talent in these lads, which has resulted in high-profile support slots for the likes of Embrace and The Pigeon Detectives, along with wide critical acclaim. Plus, they have a sax. Who doesn't love a sax solo? Venturing out from behind the keys, Richie played the hell out of it and left everyone slackjawed. Shimmer remains my favourite song with its big riffs and sheer volume, but that sax....
All too soon it's midnight. It's Abel Raise time.
Having loved their music for a while, I first saw Abel Raise The Cain this summer at the sadly-no-longer-in-existence Stockton Weekender festival (sob). Their style of sweeping, melodic, anthemic tunes was perfect for the big stage and sounded amazing. Watching them at Doc Browns in Middlesbrough not long after, though, something was missing. Maybe it was the sun. Maybe it was an off night. Whetever it was, the shine had gone a little. Thankfully - really thankfully - the sparkle was back with a vengeance tonight and the band were on top form.
Abel Raise do epic really bloody well, building up from breathy beginnings to a crescendo of noise, melodies soaring as the choruses ring out and the fans holler along. There's a guy at the front in his element, dancing like nobody's watching and loving every second (I reckon they owe him a pint). Songs like Black Swans and Too Late have been played to death in the office over the course of this year and I still love them, but it's The Promise that now stands out as my favourite. Closing the show with a powerful, lingering finish, it has the perfect mix of crashing chords and quieter lulls, beautiful lyrics and the gentle lilt of a violin to enrich the sound further. I was left with my ears ringing and a smile on my face as the last notes faded out.
So, it's Christmas and a time for reflection. Thanks are needed, firstly to tonight's bands - and KU - for being ace, but also to everyone who's been around this past year to write about, chat to or interact with, plus a massive thank you to anyone who's read my stuff - and a medal to anyone that made it to the end of them.
Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year. Be good.

The Order of Death's Vigil represents the last connection to the nearly lost art of necromancy, precious knowledge passed down to its members from their grandmaster, Uroboruuk.
Members of the Order do not fear death. Instead they embrace all of its harsh lessons, believing that through mastery of death they can become more in tune with the world itself.
Having faced persecution at the hands of the empire for centuries, the Order is no stranger to prejudice and controversy, but they had never met a foe as relentless as the Kymon's Chosen. The Chosen, concerned only with cleansing Cairn of corruption, view the Order as a travesty that must be purged.
The Order of Death's Vigil are one of the Factions present in the world of Grim Dawn.
The player has the opportunity to side with them during the Allies Among the Ashes quest. Doing so enables access to Death's Vigil quests and bounties as well as the ability to purchase faction equipment.
For the Order of Death's Vigil deals in that ultimate fate which binds all men. They are necromancers, reapers, the embodiment of mortal desire to understand the inevitable. Though the art itself is as ancient as man's control over magic, the Order owes its origins to just one man: Uroboruuk.
Uroboruuk is perhaps more legend than man and no one knows in what distant time and place he was born but his name has reappeared throughout the ages and is central to tales of the downfall of Arkovia centuries ago. Under decree of the Arkovian Oligarchs, all suspected practitioners of the necromantic art were to be taken to the Steps of Torment, a vile prison where doomed men were left to rot in the darkness of the depths of the earth. Uroboruuk, who then had a powerful following in Arkovia, was betrayed and handed over to the Arkovian torturers. However, he was not like any man they had ever met. It seemed Uroboruuk could not die. His skin would not burn and his wounds would not bleed.
Unsurprisingly, this drew the attention of the oligarchs, who craved such power for themselves. Under their command, Uroboruuk was subjected to the most brutal and imaginative forms of torture ever conceived. His immortality had worked against him.
Ultimately, the necromancer agreed to their demands and offered to perform the ritual which would make the oligarchs immortal. The oligarchs had assumed his will broken and greedily accepted. Indeed, Uroboruuk granted the people of Arkovia the immortality they so craved, but it came in the form of a devious curse. They still suffered from the ravages of time, but the merciful release of death would not come. They became trapped within their physical forms, even as their bodies disintegrated and turned to dust. The remnants of the once great Arkovian Empire still roam the world as mindless ghouls and tortured spirits. But that is another tale, one which you may learn yourself as you journey through Cairn.
Shortly after the ritual was complete, Uroboruuk vanished from the clutches of the Arkovians. It was centuries before he resurfaced again. With the systematic extermination of his necromancer brothers and sisters, Uroboruuk represented one of the last threads by which the art of necromancy still existed within the world of Cairn. He swore to restore necromancy to its former glory, to engrain the pursuit of knowledge and life's mysteries into a new generation. That was the day the Order of Death's Vigil first came into being.
Uroboruuk recruited eager students wherever he travelled, taking in young arcanists and occultists to join his secretive society. Onto them he passed on most of his knowledge. I say "most" as not once did he reveal the true nature of his immortality, not even to his most prized students. Whenever he was asked, he would merely point to the history of the Arkovians and exclaim that this was the fate of those that craved eternal life. Uroboruuk would use the Arkovians as an example of injustice and imbalance in society and that the Order should strive to prevent such a thing from ever happening again. Over time, maintaining the balance of the world became one of their central tenets.
Uroboruuk remained as the Order's leader up until several years before the Grim Dawn, when he mysteriously abandoned his students in the night, never to return. None know for sure as to the whereabouts of the immortal necromancer. Some believe he had ascended, his time on Cairn concluded. Others still believe he is out there somewhere, traveling the world on a journey of enlightenment. Many acolytes of the Order consider it a rite of passage to travel the world and seek out their lost master. After a year of fruitless wandering, they would return, wizened by their travels and no closer to uncovering the truth behind Uroboruuk's disappearance.
When the Aetherials and the Chthonians made their mark upon Cairn, the Order of Death's Vigil rose to oppose them. Now they are one of the last groups of humans still standing against the seemingly unstoppable might of the invaders. It would seem foolish to turn down the power of death in the battles ahead, but as you may soon discover, there are some still left alive in Cairn who would see the world brought to the brink of annihilation before they would even consider an alliance with the Order of Death's Vigil.

Greeting one another can be a special moment that all too many couples let slide through their fingers. A hug and a peck with the brief hello is the usual fare. Busy couples will often forgo even that little routine as they put their stuff down and go about their personal coming home rituals.
A greeting "ritual" that falls far short of the mark is greeting each other with a flood of information or complaints. Sometimes the information is important, but it can almost always wait a minute. Complaints are an appeal for support and understanding that may require some problem solving later. Take one small minute to greet each other first, and both the information and the complaints will go down easier.
Creating a meaningful greeting ritual can be a very centering, nurturing way to get back in tune with one another. As soon as you see each other after a period away, let the first thing you do be to give each other a one-minute hug.
Greet your partner with a big ear-to-ear smile and give me a big hug.
If there is a height difference, create/buy a "hug box" by the door that makes up the difference. This is lovely if one partner wishes to give a hug on the same level for a different kind of connection. One couple created this by the taller partner giving the "hug box" at Valentines day (a romantic gesture that fed the couple ritual).
Like sappy movies or book scenes (picture a large flowered or grass field in the media), you start fairly far apart and start slowing moving toward one another, then moving faster, then fast walk, and then full run, and then a wild, full embrace! Ritual would often start when saw one another from afar instead of being a planned thing, although that could work, too.
If a minute is too long, try it for 30 seconds, but no less than that.
Combine this with the whispering-to-the-heart ritual.
