Shocking moment an off-duty police officer wrestles pensioner to the floor after catching him 'lunging' at another 'slow driver' on busy motorway (9 Pics)
Dramatic footage has captured the moment an off-duty police officer wrestled a motorist to the ground, after he lunged at another driver he apparently thought was driving too slowly.
Video of the extraordinary row shows an elderly man reaching in through the driver's window and tangling with him on the A27 Sompting bypass in Worthing, Sussex.
He appears to try and grab at the driver as he is sat behind the wheel in a heated row until the off duty police officer intervened.
Sussex Police Detective Constable Seb Day saw what was happening and tried to calm the situation.
But the man can be heard telling the officer 'who are ya?' as he repeatedly resisted arrest attempts while bystanders shouted at him to stop.
At one point the man is seen trying to climb back into his Land Rover before he is forcibly detained by the detective, who brings him to the ground and restrains him.
The man is heard saying he is struggling to breathe as he is held on the ground before another uniformed officer arrives at the scene.
The footage was filmed by a friend and colleague of the victim.
Witnesses claimed the man left his Land Rover to row with the driver because he was driving too slow in front of him.
According to a court report in the Worthing Herald , the details of which have been confirmed by Sussex Police, the offender was named as Martin Perryman, 62, and he admitted assault by beating on the A27 Sompting bypass on October 3.
He was given a 12-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, and fined.
He also admitted using threatening words or behaviour likely to cause distress and resisting a police constable, the report added.
One witness, who was in the car, said: ''We were driving along towards Worthing probably going a bit slow for the t*** in the Land Rover behind, and next thing this angry man is leaning through the window yelling "c***" because we were going a bit slow."
"Fists are flying, with my guy trying to defend himself from the driver's seat.
"Then the angry t***** drops his sunglasses into the car, so more scrapping 'til he gets them back.
"Suddenly there's a cop on the scene, who happened to see it all go down whilst driving home from doing whatever cops do, and got stuck in, bless him. (He) can't believe he's a cop and kicks off."

Isabella Freeman
Posted in Uncategorized on May 2, 2012|
I have had to take this post down for the moment because Isabella Freeman has sent me a letter threatening to sue me for libel. Any lawyers out there who might want to help me, please get in touch.
UPDATE – Aug 15, 4pm
The Evening Standard has today published the following apology to Isabella Freeman in relation to the article it published on May 2 and which I copy and pasted on here that day. I made further remarks based on the Standard's article which I removed following a threat of legal action from Ms Freeman. Given that the Standard has withdrawn its article, I am happy to repeat and agree its apology here and withdraw the comments I made which had been based on that article.
Here is the Standard's apology:
On 2 May we reported allegations that Isabella Freeman, the Assistant Chief Executive (Legal Services) and Monitoring Officer of Tower Hamlets, had shown a lack of care about alleged voter fraud in Tower Hamlets and, on the contrary, was involved in a deliberate cover-up.
We accept that those allegations were untrue and any suggestion that Isabella Freeman had not overseen the correct procedures was wrong. She has, in fact, taken steps so that the council has the most robust systems and processes permitted within electoral law to ensure the integrity of the electoral register and identify any malpractice. Tower Hamlets electronically scans 100 per cent of postal votes and rejects any that have non-matching signatures. The article also incorrectly stated that Ms Freeman had blamed Muslim voters for the claims by others of voter fraud in Tower Hamlets. We apologise to Ms Freeman.

Susan and Rich are the thirsty, GREAT-craft-beer-seeking couple who founded The Brewing Lair in 2011. Rich was a carpenter who needed a new hobby; Susan a brewer and former restaurateur who needed a new project. Susan taught Rich how to brew beer and Rich took it to a whole new, professional level. Now Rich brews (real tasty) beer and Susan sells it.
We will only brew beer that we like to drink, so please don't ask us to brew a light, fizzy, tasteless beer. We put in a disc golf course because we love walking in the woods drinking a beer, now we can take our beer, our discs and our dogs for a walk in the woods.
Our 15-barrel brewery is dedicated to the production of high profile ales. Construction on the The Brewing Lair brewery began in May of 2011. These photos captures the process.
The Brewing Lair is open year round. Take in the clean, mountain air while sipping on our craft ales. Our meadow is a perfect place for a picnic or a barbecue with friends and family.
Our 9-hole disc golf course is great way to check out the 15 acres of land the brewery sits on (while enjoying some tasty beer, of course).


All businesses will need accountants for varying reasons, whether for routine completion of accounts and self-assessment tax return or to advise of the latest regulations and tax rules in force. A business doesn't have to hire an accountant, although there are certain scenarios that require one, like having a limited company that requires an audit.
Compliance is crucial for a business, whatever its size. HMRC carries out business record checks and compliance checks which may incur heavy penalties if they aren't up to the required standard. To comply with all the various legislation and rules, it is much cheaper and easier in the long term to hire accountants. In Prenton, businesses will discover that accountants have a reputation for dealing with a company's tax affairs and managing a business at a reasonable cost.
How can accountants help Prenton businesses?
The perceived cost of outsourcing to accountants in Prenton may be off-putting for a business, but the benefits are huge. If a business owner does not have knowledge of all the regulations, legislation and tax rules that apply to their specific business, they require an accountant. Being unaware of some tax regulations can result in unexpected fines, maybe not paying enough tax or even too much and even being accused of incorrectly claiming allowances, expenses and tax reliefs. There are specific rules which apply to all types of allowance or tax relief with which a business must comply. An accountant will have this knowledge and can help a business to be tax efficient and compliant.
The type of business and its size may also affect a decision to outsource to accountants. Business records must be retained for a specific time, depending on the type of business. For some businesses, the accounting requirements may be relatively simple and the business owner may attempt to deal with this themselves. Time has to then be spent recording business transactions, filing and retaining of invoices and receipts, and calculating the costs of the business – such as stock and its website. Details and an audit trail must be kept of all transactions so that accurate accounts may be compiled.
Outsourcing to accountants in Prenton will save resources, while a business owner will be happy that all legitimate expenses are claimed and the accounts and tax return are submitted in a timely manner. No matter whether you are a sole trader, limited company or contractor, we can help you here at Wainwrights. Give us a call today.

Syrian army forces recapture villages on northern edge of Hama
Tue Jun 4, 2019 02:19PM [Updated: Tue Jun 4, 2019 02:25PM ]

Syrian government forces, backed by allied fighters from popular defense groups, have managed to establish control over several villages in the country's western-central province of Hama following intense clashes with members of the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham Takfiri terrorist group, formerly known as al-Nusra Front.
Lebanon-based Arabic-language al-Manar television network reported Syrian forces had secured the villages of al-Humayrat, al-Hardana, al-Qaroutiyah, Qirata, al-Hawash and Tal Hawash, which lie in the Suqaylabiyah and Salamiyah districts of the province, killing and injuring scores of the Takfiris.
Syrian soldiers and their allies are now clearing out the areas of hundreds of mines and explosive devices left behind by the terrorists.
Meanwhile, Syrian army troops have pounded and destroyed the rocket launch pads for Jabhat Fateh al-Sham terrorists on the outskirts of Sahab and Koura villages with a barrage of artillery rounds.
Separately, Syrian government forces have targeted terrorist gatherings and fortifications in the village of Safouhan and Khan Shaykhun town in the southern countryside of Idlib. A large number of foreign-backed extremists were killed and injured in the process.
Under a deal reached following a meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in the Black Sea resort city of Sochi on September 17, 2018, all militants in a demilitarized zone, which surrounds Idlib and also parts of the adjacent provinces of Aleppo and Hama, were supposed to pull out heavy arms by October 17, and Takfiri groups had to withdraw by October 15 last year.
PressTV-Syria urges UN to censure terror attacks in Hama, Idlib
Syria writes to the UN, urging the world body denounce the terrorist attacks against civilians in the provinces of Idlib and Hama.
The National Front for the Liberation of Syria is the main Turkish-backed militant alliance in the Idlib region, but the Takfiri Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) terrorist group, which is a coalition of different terror outfits, largely composed of the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, holds a large part of the province and the zone.
The HTS, which is said to be in control of some 60 percent of Idlib province, has yet to announce its stance on the buffer zone deal.
It is estimated that between 10,000 and 15,000 members of different factions of armed groups, which Syria, Russia and Turkey consider terrorists, are active in the volatile province, which is home to around three million inhabitants.
PressTV-Syria finds US-made TOW missiles in militant hideouts
Syrian government forces seize foreign-made weapons, including US-made TOW missiles, left behind by terror groups in Syria's south.
Syria has been gripped by foreign-backed militancy since March 2011. The Syrian government says the Israeli regime and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri terrorist groups that are wreaking havoc in the country.
Russia rebuffs Trump, says targeting terrorists in Syria
Moscow has rejected US President Donald Trump's criticism of Russian and Syrian military action in Syria's Idlib province.
Netanyahu admits to personally ordering Syria strikes
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he personally ordered the recent airstrikes against Syrian military positions.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Boxes of junk, tires and old furniture have turned a Berclair-area home into an eyesore.
But it's more than that. Neighbors say it's causing a rodent and pest problem.
"There just seems to be a lot of trash piled up every day, and the other day I noticed them taking a leaf blower and blowing the trash directly into the street," said Tim Hansgen, who noticed the problem a couple of months ago.
"The trash pile has gotten to the point where there`s rats scattering in the backyard, roaches coming in and out."
Outside the home are tires, a child's car seat, even a freezer and a dresser sitting outside.
Hansgen said he's contacted the property manager — Crestcore — at least six times, and the city's Code Enforcement department three times. But his emails have been ignored and nothing is being done.
The rest of the houses on Duke Road are well maintained. It's clear most of the people on this block care about how their homes look.
No one answered the door when we tried get the renters' side of the story Friday.
Hansgen said he doesn't want anyone to get kicked out of their home. He just wants the property cleaned up.
"I want my neighborhood to look good, I want it to be safe and if there`s anything going on, I want to try and get it taken care of," Hansgen said.

Lifted Mini Countryman By X-Raid Looks Great In Adventure Gear
2 years, 8 months ago - 20 May 2020, motor1
miniMini Countrymantuning
X-raid is using what it learned from the Dakar Rally.
Mini isn't the first automaker one would associate with off-road adventuring, but for X-raid, it was the perfect brand. Using its years of experience running the Dakar Rally, X-raid designed an off-road package for the Mini Countryman that increases its ground clearance, toughens the tires, and adds an assortment of other off-road goodies.
The Mini Countryman by X-raid comes with a two-centimeter (0.78-inch) suspension lift and larger tires, which equates to an overall increase in ground clearance of up to four centimeters (1.57 inches). It's a modest lift, but even the tiniest increase can help the car overcome rough terrain and obstacles. X-raid uses "more robust rims" that pair with tires that sport higher sidewalls. The company also adds a rim ring to protect the wheels and tires from additional damage.
The aluminum roof rack and additional LED headlights in the grille really complete the Countryman's off-road appearance. It's a subtle upgrade that stands out with the piano black accents from Mini combined with X-raid's orange touches.
X-raid, which has won the Dakar Rally five times, learned a lot while preparing the rally cars for the grueling race. The company also learned a lot from its service fleet that would transport team members during the event. X-raid first used the Mini Countryman a decade ago, and ever since, the team has continued to modify and improve its off-road capability.
X-raid offers its off-road Mini accessories as a whole package, though they are available as individual parts, too. The company doesn't offer any pricing information, though you can contact them for that. This isn't the most robust off-road package you can get for the Mini, but it's a few nice touches that go a long way in making the car's off-road driving experience much better. You won't climb mountains, but you'll go places.

The Traits of Success: Top 7 Business Leadership Qualities You Need to Make It as an Entrepreneur
Do you want a mug that says "Best Boss" or would you rather be invited to speak at a leadership conference? A cheesy gift or sector-wide respect isn't a hard choice when you look at it.
But a lot of people never upgrade themselves from boss to leader, because they don't know how or they don't know the difference.
You're not one of those people. Even just by looking into business leadership traits, you're showing the self-awareness and vision to improve.
Our guide below can help you on that journey.
Business Leadership vs. Business Bosses
Are you a leader or are you a boss? There's a difference! A boss is someone who thrives on title and power, while a leader is there to help.
Here are seven ways to tell (or work on) becoming a good leader:
1. Emotional Intelligence
If you want to be a great leader, that means you're going to have to be great to your followers. And you can't be great unless you're understanding and empathetic.
In previous years, people thought we had to keep empathy and emotions out of the workplace. But we're realizing that's impossible.
Your employees are people and they'll thrive when you treat them as such.
That means sitting down with employees when you see attention or work quality dipping, to find out what's really going on. Investing in your employees by giving them great benefits doesn't hurt either.
You also have the right to be vulnerable, as a boss. If you need help, ask for help. People respect when someone admits that they're human too - it's a two-way street.
2. Confidence
No one is going to follow someone that says, "I think I know the way!" It's just not how people work. Imagine if the world leaders who started revolutions only half believed in their message.
We wouldn't have half the political independence we have today.
Having confidence in yourself as a leader doesn't mean you have to think you're perfect. In fact, part of confidence is willing to be wrong.
And there's good news - you can fake it till you make it. The more you pretend you believe in yourself and your ideas, the more you actually will.
3. You Have Vision
We used to call this ambition, which is a little different than vision. Ambition is the drive to get things done and keep coming up with new ideas.
Vision, on the other hand, is less shortsighted. If someone has vision, they can take those ambitious ideas and see how they're going to play out down the road.
For example - business partnerships. Maybe a partnership sounds good in the moment, but what's their reputation? Are you going to be proud to have worked with them down the line?
A leader with vision will make the right choice.
4. Fairness
A good leader is fair, while a boss is harsh. We already talked about the difference between a boss and a leader.
While you do want to be emotionally available and have empathy, you also have to be fair. If an employee is having a hard time, they still have to get their work done.
If they don't, consequences should follow. But you can help them get it done in an empathetic way. Maybe you let them work from home for a few days, with the expectation that a product/report comes in on time.
That's something a lot of people don't realize about fairness - it's flexible. You can have expectations for your employees while treating them like humans.
Just be open and honest about your expectations and ask them to meet them.
5. Self-Awareness
As a leader, you have to admit you're a person. People have issues and that includes you.
If you fall short and it affects your team, take responsibility. Give a short explanation of why something happened and how you're going to address situations like that in the future.
If you dropped the ball, pick it back up as soon as you realize you did. Most of the time you'll still be able to stay "in play". Don't make excuses and do what you can to fix the situation.
If it comes up or someone asks you about it, be honest. Don't lie to an employee who's asking why something's taking so long. Tell them what happened.
Part of self-awareness is investing in finding out more about yourself. There are Success Performance Solutions and quizzes you can take to make this easier.
Your self-awareness and vulnerability will make them respect you more, we promise.
6. Endurance
Sometimes, in business, a lot of things go wrong before they go right. If you're smart, hopefully, you have some sort of savings or account you can dip into when this happens.
But you can't get down on yourself and stop working. There are people that depend on you to get the business back on track.
If you need help - ask for it. Brainstorming sessions have saved many a business. You can even admit that you're feeling frustrated - but you can never show defeat.
If you show defeat, your employees will lose hope. Being vulnerable about business struggles and not getting defeated is a delicate line to walk, but you can do it.
Tap into that fake it till you make it confidence we talked about before.
7. Accessibility
If you want to be a good leader in the workplace, that means you need to listen to people. But you won't have anyone to listen to if employees don't know they can come to you.
Make it obvious that your doors or at least your inbox are open. You can even set up office hours, where you promise to be in your office for a certain amount of time so that anyone who has issues can come to see you.
Forging relationships in the workplace is another thing leaders do. Bosses have employees, leaders have colleagues.
Working on Leadership
No one is ever the perfect leader. That's because no one ever is a perfect person and leaders allow themselves to be people too.
If you work on yourself and keep improving, you're on your way to business leadership success, if not fame. We can't promise you'll get it right the first time - but we can promise you will if you keep trying!

Medtech company finds support to enter and grow in the U.S.
RaySearch Laboratories AB of Stockholm saw a need to establish a company and initiate the sales of their software for cancer radiation therapy on the U.S. market. Business Sweden helped RaySearch achieve this goal by providing and maintaining administrative support for their newly formed U.S. subsidiary.
RaySearch Laboratories is a medical technology company that develops software for radiation therapy of cancer. The company's products are used to enhance the efficiency, quality, and safety of radiation therapy by optimizing the radiation dose for each individual cancer patient. Their products had historically been sold as part of different commercial clients' systems, but RaySearch recognized the need to go direct to the worldwide market in 2011. Because RaySearch's primary function was software development, the company knew that they needed a U.S.-based company to handle sales, support and training for North and South America.
Business Sweden offered RaySearch a Business Support Office service that included bookkeeping, virtual office, accounting, tax and annual reporting, payroll service, and other similar tasks. By tasking Business Sweden with the administrative dealings, RaySearch Americas Inc. now has more time to concentrate on establishing their presence and increasing sales in the U.S.
PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A CLASSIC GROWTH PATTERN
RaySearch approached Business Sweden when they were just starting out their U.S. operations in 2011.
"RaySearch has been an ideal example of how Swedish technology can really impact the U.S. market," says Cynthia Finstad, Senior Accountant at Business Sweden. "RaySearch's licenses have been implemented hospitals throughout the United States and Canada, and Business Sweden was there every step of the way."
Business Sweden also provides RaySearch with ad-hoc support in the Canadian market. Collaboration between Business Sweden's U.S. and Canadian offices clarified the intricacies of the American and Canadian tax systems. Business Sweden also supports with inquiries and information on a regular basis as needed by RaySearch.
A TEAM EFFORT LEADS TO CONTINUED SUCCESS
"As a growing company, Business Sweden assisted us with understanding and managing the business landscape requirements in the U.S. This helped us to focus on our business and concentrate on what it takes to grow," notes Marc Mlyn, President, RaySearch Americas, Inc.
RaySearch started the American operations with three people, and now with their sales and marketing efforts – combined with Business Sweden's back office support – RaySearch Americas has grown to be a 20-member team. This growth has also supported RaySearch Laboratories AB in Sweden and helped the mother organization grow to 200 employees.
As RaySearch began to expand, things grew increasingly complicated administratively. At this point, Business Sweden helped recruit a human resources firm based in Chicago. This partner organization handled many HR-related services while Business Sweden concentrated on the back-end administration and accounts receivable. With each individual party focusing on different aspects of the operation, business boomed for RaySearch, and they achieved significant success in a highly competitive space.
"There was an underlying trust between Business Sweden, the RaySearch mother company in Sweden, and the newly formed subsidiary with checks and balances that made everyone very comfortable. This worked out well between all three stakeholders. All in all, I would say that we are thankful and pleased with the services Business Sweden has provided to us, and everything has worked out really well. We believe that our growth will continue exponentially, and we feel it was critical to have the kind of support that we did when we first started the company" says Marc.

Nagarkot has a reputation as the top spot for enjoying Himalayan views from the comfort of your hotel balcony. Just 32km from Kathmandu, the village is packed with hotels lining a ridge, affording one of the broadest possible views of the Himalaya, with eight ranges visible (Annapurna, Manaslu, Ganesh Himal, Langtang, Jugal, Rolwaling, Everest and Numbur). However, timing is everything, as the mountains are notorious for disappearing behind cloudy skies. The best viewing seasons are October to December and March to April, when clear skies are likely.
This trek starts after one hour driving from Kathmandu to Sundarijal. It takes 4 hours walking to Chisapani. Your first destination is Chisapani where you will be enjoying the real boon of nature being away from the clamor of city and your interaction with the villagers will add another experience. Nagarkot is second destination at an altitude of 2175m. It is 7 hours walking from Chisapani to Nagarkot. The sunrise viewed from this hill present you the ever-refreshing memory of the majestic panoramic view of the Himalayan ranges from Dhaulagiri in the west and Mt. Everest in the east. Dhulikhel is your next destination. It takes 5 hours walking from Nagarkot to Dhulikhel. Treading along the unexplored trails of Dhulikhel can be very exhilarating and enriching experience.

19 attorneys general sue Education Secretary Betsy DeVos over gainful employment rule
Aarthi Swaminathan

This story has been updated to include comment from the Department of Education.
Nineteen U.S. attorneys general are suing Education Secretary Betsy DeVos for overturning an Obama-era rule designed to protect students from predatory higher education institutions.
The 2014 gainful employment rule was created by the Obama administration to ensure that schools — many of them for-profit colleges — were denied access to federal aid if their graduates had weak career prospects and heavy debt loads.
DeVos repealed the rule in July 2019, and her decision goes into effect on July 1.
On June 24, attorneys general of the states of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Colorado, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin, as well as the District of Columbia sued Betsy DeVos and her agency. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in D.C.
"Betsy DeVos's unjustified and illegal repeal of the Gainful Employment rule is yet another example of the Trump Administration's continued efforts to dismantle critical safeguards protecting students and taxpayers in order to further the interests of for-profit colleges," New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement.

James added: "We are standing up for students and calling out the Department of Education's improper repeal of a rule that plays a vital role in ensuring students can make informed decisions about their education. The Trump administration's actions here are just another example of putting special interests ahead of student interests."
In response to the lawsuit, press secretary Angela Morabito stated simply: "The Department will vigorously defend its final regulation rescinding this deeply flawed rule."
Advocates expect the latest lawsuit to generate momentum to reverse the rule, or create more accountability measures.
"Now more than ever, students need to know that their investment in higher education will lead to a brighter economic future," Student Defense President Aaron Ament said in a statement. "Secretary DeVos's illegal repeal of the Gainful Employment Rule is a betrayal of students and a handout to owners of predatory schools."
Randi Weingarten, president of the teachers' union American Federation of Teachers, added: "Betsy DeVos has already made history as one of the most unproductive, unpopular and frankly embarrassing cabinet appointments — and today, states across the country are holding her to account."
'Leaving the Department without any meaningful way to enforce'
The for-profit higher education sector saw tremendous growth after the 2008 Crisis. In 2016, the New York Fed noted that enrollment at these schools had "skyrocketed" as the country emerged out of the Great Recession.
Debt levels rose ballooned over the following decade, and students graduating from for-profit institutions generally hold far higher levels of debt than those attending other institutions.

The gainful employment rule addressed this imbalance by requiring schools' graduates to have loan payments that were less than 8% of their total income or 20% of their discretionary income, as The New York Times explained in 2014.
The Obama-era ED estimated that as of 2014, 1,400 programs serving 840,000 students — 99% of whom were at for-profit institutions — would not pass the accountability standards under the gainful employment rule. By 2020, the Trump-era ED defended its repeal of the rule.
Attorneys general of several states and others pushed back on the repeal, stating that the move made it much easier for predatory for-profit institutions to exploit students.

Some attorneys general sued DeVos in 2017, alleging that she illegally delayed the implementation of the 2014 rule. In January 2020, the country's second-largest teachers' union sued DeVos for reversing the gainful employment rule. And California Attorney General Becerra, who is not part of the new lawsuit, also brought a lawsuit against DeVos for overturning the rule.
"The Repeal Rule eliminated the standard employed under the GE Rule to evaluate whether programs prepared students for gainful employment ... did away with the warnings that failing programs owed to current and prospective students ... [and] did not create any replacement mechanisms, leaving the Department without any meaningful way to enforce the gainful employment provision," the lawsuit stated.
Reversal allows 'for-profit schools to steer students into useless programs'
The attorneys general also expressed concerns over a possible resurgence in the for-profit education sector amid the coronavirus-induced recession.
"Before the GE Rule, scores of students took on loans to enroll in programs that offered a worthless education, a key contributor to a national student debt crisis. In egregious cases, students' harmful enrollment decisions were the consequence of unscrupulous recruiting practices by predatory for-profit institutions," they stated in the lawsuit.
"In the current economic downturn, there is a large pool of people eager to pursue educational opportunities that will help advance or restart their career," the lawsuit added. "But with the Repeal Rule, the Department has reverted to the conditions that allowed for-profit schools to steer students into useless programs."

And due to the fact that ED has not replaced the gainful employment rule with an alternative, they argued, the repeal is "arbitrary, capricious, and contrary to law."
"With the economic downturn causing many of our residents to reevaluate their careers and consider returning to school, it's hard to imagine a worse time to eliminate protections for students who are seeking to improve their job prospects," New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said in a statement. "Yet the U.S. Department of Education is doing just that, so that it can send more taxpayer money to for-profit schools that push high-cost, low-value educational programs and saddle students with unaffordable debt."

The containers are sometimes modified for certain specifications such as storing and turning them into refrigerators for heavy storage of items that need to be stored safely in refrigerators of high density.
Nelson shipping containers can be modified to suit the need of the consumer or meet the demand of the consumer. There are some that are modified into electric powered refrigerated containers that can store all the goods that are perishable and liquids that are dangerous. Goods that require constant monitoring of the temperature can be stored in such containers and closely monitored and the temperature controlled.
The containers can also be modified in different shapes and sizes especially for those that want to improvise a temporary house where they can stay.
These modifications can also be made for performing artists who are tired of performing at the theatres and can be used by the artists to perform especially around the area since a majority of the people visit the area.
Nelson shipping containers can also be modified to fit into a modern day and state of the art studio. With proper ventilations and proper wiring is done in the containers, the place can be designed into a state of the art studio where recording can be done or it can be turned into a photo studio.
These containers are the best for individual businesses and also best for large businesses that would want to operate in such circumstances and it is important to know that many businesses in the area have resorted to buying the containers and turning them into their offices.

WORLD WAR II – ALLIED BOMBING OF GERMAN CITIES MAP ARCHIVE
Home / Maps and Prints / Europe / Germany / WORLD WAR II – ALLIED BOMBING OF GERMAN CITIES MAP ARCHIVE
A fascinating archive relating to the World War II Allied Bombing of Germany, featuring 7 maps of German cities especially designed to be read in the cockpit by Allied pilots during their final approach towards striking their targets, here featuring maps of Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Pölitz (now a part of Szczecin, Poland) and Hanau (Hessen), plus a blank 'Bomber Command Flight Engineer Log', intended for reporting upon completed sorties; all of the archive's contents are extremely rare survivors and authentic artefacts of one of the most spectacular and horrific events of greatest global conflict.
Archive of 7 off-set print maps (each 44.5 x 34.5 cm / 17.5 x 13.5 inches), published in England by the RAF, 1942 – 1944, plus a printed Bomber's 'Flight Engineer Log' (4 pp. printed on a single sheet, 27.5 x 22 cm).
ROYAL AIR FORCE (RAF).
[England: Royal Air Force, 1942 – 1944].
This is a fascinating archive concerning the Allied bombing of Germany during World War II. It consists of 7 maps of German cities made by the Royal Air Force (RAF) especially designed for the use of British-Commonwealth and American pilots on their final approach towards bombing their targets. Dating from 1942 to 1944, the archive features an important and diverse selection, including maps of Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt am Main, Nuremberg, Pölitz (now a part of Szczecin, Poland) and Hanau (Hessen).
Two types of maps are represented in the archive. The 'target maps' (exemplified by Maps #1, 4, 6 and 7 following) are printed in bold black and purple colours (with pink used to highlight the "bullseye") so as to be easily read by a flight navigator in the cockpit. The overall shapes of the urbanscapes and their major details are very clearly expressed. This was important as reading maps in mid-flight (often at an altitude of 9,000-11,000 feet) was always challenging, as the light was poor, the ride was turbulent (and frequently traumatic, if enemy defenses were deployed), and navigation was often severely impaired by inclement weather.
The maps highlight specific targets within the cities, such as railway stations or factories, which are cited in the upper margin of the map, often corresponding to keyed numbers on the map itself. Also, along the top margin are the city's geodetic coordinates and elevation, while some of the maps feature space for 'Notes'. On the map, the key targets are represented by pink-coloured sections (being the 'bullseye') with concentric circles at 1-mile intervals radiating outwards. The direction of true north is noted at the top of the map, while along the sides are degree vectors at regular intervals. Urbanized, built-up areas are coloured in purple, while forested tracts and infrastructure (road and rail lines, etc.) are coloured black, with fields left in grisaille. The contract employed on the maps simulates the appearance of the city at night, when most bombing sorites occurred.
Also featured are 'outline maps' (exemplified by Maps #2, 3 and 5 following), which show the overall shapes of the urban, built-up areas of cities, such that they could be easily identified at night, even under difficult conditions. The cities appear in bold white against a grisaille background. Details are intentionally sparing, as quickly representing the general character of the urbanscape was the priority.
Also included in the archive is an original 'Bomber Command Flight Engineer Log' (4 pp.), that was meant to be filled in by a bomber engineer upon a sortie's return home, reporting on the mission and the condition of the aircraft. The log if here left blank, but its presence provides an extra slice of life to the maps which all shows signs of military use.
The maps present in the archive are all extremely rare. They were issued in only very small print runs for the classified use of RAF-Commonwealth and USAAF (United States of America Air Force) pilots. Not many of the maps survive and examples only very rarely ever appear; it is indeed truly extraordinary to find such an archive of seven maps, not to mention their accompaniment by a bomber flight engineer's log.
The Archive's Maps in Focus:
ROYAL AIR FORCE.
Berlin (Germany) / Target No. 6(d)(vi)70 – Tempelhof Marshaling Yard and Anhalter and Potsdamer Stations.
[England: Royal Air Force]: 20 April 1943.
Off-set print in black, purple and pink, with one of the target sites circled in pencil (Good, wear along old folds, slight marginal tears), 44.5 x 34.5 cm (17.5 x 13.5 inches).
Berlin, being the capital of the Third Reich, was the ultimate Allied target. Yet, for the first half of the war, it proved difficult to attack, as it lay 1,000 km from London. However, improved Allied aircraft and the degraded state of Nazi air defenses saw the situation change in 1943. From that point, the RAF led by Air Marshal Arthur "Bomber" Harris, mounted the first direct large-scale air strikes upon Berlin. Known as the Air Battle of Berlin, this series of massive air raids commenced on the night of November 18/19, 1943 and lasted until March 1944, with the Allies launching almost a ceaseless series of raids upon Berlin, featuring around 800 bomber craft per night. The aim was to paralyze the nucleus of the Nazi regime and demoralize the citizens of ist capital.
While much carnage was unleashed, and certainly the Nazi war effort suffered, the Allies' Berlin Campaign is generally thought to have been a failure, as it did not significantly weaken the operations of the Nazi high command, nor did it immobilize the city. Moreover, the Allies' losses in both aircraft and manpower were astounding and it has been argued that such resources should have been better allocated elsewhere. That being said, Berlin was irrevocably altered, as many of its most famous monuments were severely damaged or destroyed.
The massive air raids, led by the U.S. Eighth Air Fleet, in early 1945 were more devastating and effective, as they managed to completely disrupt the normal operation of Berlin, while taking out many key targets.
The present 'target map' shows all of greater Berlin and had as its 'bullseye' the city's central rail termini and related infrastructure, coloured in pink. Within the target zone are three main sites identified by letter: X = Anhalter & Potsdamer Goods and Passenger Stations; the Y = Tempelhof Marshaling Yard; and Z = Tempelhof Goods Yard. Notably, the location of the Potsdamer Station is circled in manuscript, in pencil.
The present map may relate to the largest air raid ever conducted upon Berlin, being the attack of February 3, 1945, led by the USAAF. That night 1,500 bombers, escorted by 1,000 fighters, rained hell down upon the metropolis. The main objective was to take out the Tempelhof Rail Yards and the Potsdamer and Anhalter Stations, as the Allies believed that these facilities were currently being used to outfit the 6th Panzer Division, on its way to battle the Soviets along the Eastern Front. The attack was controversial amongst the Allied high command but was given the go-ahead upon the robust intervention of General Eisenhower.
The raid was a great success, as it completely destroyed the Anhalter Station and finished off the Potsdamer Station (which was already disabled by earlier bombing raids), while doing great damage to the Tempelhof Yards. Moreover, the surrounding city centre was largely destroyed, while Berlin's residents were psychologically terrorized in way that was never achieved before. By the morning, 2,900 Berliners were dead and 120,000 were left homeless.
Allied aerial assaults upon Berlin continued without mercy until the Soviets entered the city in April 1945. By the end of the war Berlin had been struck by 363 air raids, that dropped almost 70,000 tons of bombs, ruining much of the city and forcing 1.7 million (40%) of its residents to flee.
Berlin / Scale 1:250,000.
[England: Royal Air Force]: 1st February 1944.
Off-set print in grey (Good, wear and slight separations along old folds), 44.5 x 34.5 cm (17.5 x 13.5 inches).
This is an 'outline map' of Berlin, and while Map #1 shows many details of the city, this work is intentionally sparing so as to prioritize clarity to give a broad overview of the urbanscape that could be quickly glanced and comprehended by bomber pilots during their final approach to target.
Munich / Scale 1:250,000.
[England: Royal Air Force]: 18th January 1944.
Off-set print in grey, (Very Good, wear along old folds), 44.5 x 34.5 cm (17.5 x 13.5 inches).
The present 'outline map' of greater Munich would have been used by Allied pilots to recognize the Bavarian capital at night. Munich was the birthplace of Nazism and one of the greatest industrial centres of Germany (ex. home to BMW, etc.), and was naturally a prime target for the RAF and USAAF. However, its location deep in the south of the country protected it from serious attack, at least until the Autumn of 1943, when the Allies were able to mount massive, daring raids. The attacks intensified throughout 1944, with some involving over 1,000 Allied aircraft. The raid on the night of April 24-25, 1944 was especially devastating, as the Allies executed low level attacks (from an altitude of 700 feet), made possible by the severely reduced state of the German air defenses.
Due to the city's unique role in creating the Third Reich, the British specifically ordered civilian neighbourhoods to be targeted for psychological effect, such that 81,000 homes were completely destroyed, leaving 40% of the city's residents homeless. The air raids in and around Munich succeeded in severely degrading German industrial production during the war's home stretch.
By the end of the conflict, the city had been hit with 450 mega-bombs, 612,000 high explosive bombs and over 3 million incendiary devices. Over 50% of the entire urban area was levelled, with the historic centre being nearly annihilated, in part by 'carpet bombing'.
Frankfurt / Main (Germany) – Target No. 6(d)(vi)67 / Railway Marshaling Yard.
[England: Royal Air Force]: March 19, 1942.
Off-set print in black, purple and pink (Good, wear along old folds), 44.5 x 34.5 cm (17.5 x 13.5 inches).
This 'target map' depicts Frankfurt am Main, the banking hub of the Third Reich, as well as a major industrial centre. The focus of the map is the Hauptbahnhof (central railway station), represented by the large pink area located in the dead centre. Within that zone are three specific sites marked for destruction, identified by letters: A = the Railway Marshaling Yard; B = the Railway Workshops; and C = Goods Station.
The Allies mounting 70 air raids against Frankfurt over the course of the war, dropping almost 30,000 tons of high impact bombs, destroying Germany's largest medieval city centre. The bombing of Frankfurt was initiated by the RAF early in the conflict, but it was not until the Autumn of 1943 that the raids intensified and became truly impactful.
The January 29, 1944 raid by 863 bombers of the US 8th Air Fleet resulted in the first catastrophic damage to the city, taking out a large part of the Hauptbahnhof and wrecking much of the financial district. Awesome attacks continued to befall Frankfurt, with particularly massive strikes occurring on March 18 and 22, 1944. By the end of the war, 90,000 of the city's 177,600 apartments were destroyed and its population had shrunk from 553,000 (in 1939) to 230,000.
Nurnberg / Scale 1:250,000.
Off-set print in grey (Good, wear along old folds, slight marginal tears), 44.5 x 34.5 cm (17.5 x 13.5 inches).
The present 'outline map' of Nuremberg was meant to approximate the city's appearance form the air at nighttime. Nuremberg, famously the hometown of Albrecht Dürer and other great historical figures, was a city of immense cultural importance, with one of Germany's largest pre-war old towns. It was also part of a major industrial zone, as well as the heartland of Nazism (i.e. the 'Nuremberg Rallies'), so was a prime symbolic and military target of the RAF and USAAF. However, the city lay deep within Germany and was heavily defended, such that all missions to bomb Nuremberg were very risky for the Allied crews.
It was not until 1943 that the Allied air war caused significant damage to Nuremberg, with the raids intensifying through 1944. The present map, issued on January 18th of that year, would have been available for use during the great majority of these missions.
On February 2, 1945, a raid involving 521 British bombers, dropping 6,000 high impact bombs, hit Nuremberg, almost totally destroying its historic city centre and killing 1,800 people. The raids continued with intensity until April 11, 1945, when virtually the entire city was in ruins, with some areas described as 'steppes'. The city finally fell to the American on April 20, 1945, after the brutal Battle of Nuremberg.
Pölitz (Germany) – Target No. 1(a)(iii)40 / Hydrierwerke Pölitz.
[England: Royal Air Force]: 14 September 1943.
Off-set print in black, purple and pink, with the mission identification line "21/12/44 OP #30" written in manuscript blue pen in the 'Notes' section in the upper margin (Good, wear and slight separations along old folds), 44.5 x 34.5 cm (17.5 x 13.5 inches).
This 'target map' features Pölitz (today Police, Poland), an industrial town in Pomerania, just north of the major port of Stettin (Szczecin). Pölitz was home to one of the most important Allied bombing target in Germany, the Hydrierwerke Pölitz, a massive synthetic oil plant that converted coal from Silesia into kerosene and gasoline, and which is represented upon the map by a large pink zone in the dead centre. Founded in 1937 by the industrial behemoth IG Farben, and since greatly expanded, by early 1944 the plant supplied 15% of Germany's synthetic fuel (the Third Reich was heavily reliant upon this source, as their access to petroleum was very limited).
Pölitz was located very far to the east and was difficult for the RAF and USAAF to attack, while it was heavily defended by flack towers. The Allies mounted their first large raid upon Hydrierwerke Pölitz on May 29, 1944, during which the attacking planes were hit by much flack, preventing them from scoring decent hits. Numerous other raids followed, with the present map seemingly referring to a mission conducted on 'December 21, 1944', as noted in manuscript, in blue pen, in the 'Notes' section (top margin).
These raids, while damaging to the plant, failed to strike a knockout blow. Finally, a massive RAF raid on the night of February 8-9, 1945, involving 475 Lancaster bombers, scored direct hits and rendering the plant inoperable. This was consequential, as it severely depleted the Third Reich's fuel supply in Eastern Germany as the Soviets were moving towards Berlin. Pölitz fell to the Soviets in April 1945, and the salvageable technical equipment was stripped and taken to Russia as 'war reparations'. The plant was never rebuilt, but today the site is open to guided tours.
Hanau (Germany) – Target No. 2(f)8 / Deutsche Dunlop Gummi Co. A.G.
[England: Royal Air Force]: June 1944.
Off-set print in black, purple and pink (Very Good, wear along old folds), 44.5 x 34.5 cm (17.5 x 13.5 inches).
This 'target map' focuses upon Hanau, a small city in Hessen, about 25 km east of Frankfurt. Perhaps best known as the hometown of the Brothers Grimm, until the war it boasted a lovely medieval centre. However, Hanau was also an important industrial hub, home of the Deutsche Dunlop Gummi Co. A.G., one of Germany's largest tire manufactures (here represent by the pink rhombus-shaped 'bullseye' at the dead centre of the map), as well as other factories producing military supplies.
The RAF threatened the city early in the war, but it was not until September 25, 1944 that Allies sorties scored direct hits, resulting in significant damage. From that point onwards, RAF and USAAF raids become frequent and the present map, printed in June 1944, would have been available for use during these missions.
The Dunlop tire factory, along with a good part of the old town, was severely damaged during an USAAF raid on the night of December 12-13, 1944. On March 19, 1944, 85% of Hanau was levelled by a massive RAF attacked comprising 279 planes that dropped 1,200 tons of bombs. The attack was a devastating psychological and material blow that led to the city's surrender to the US Army only few days later.

United Friends Receives $100,000 Grant from the S. Mark Taper Foundation
Wednesday, February 21st, 2018
United Friends of the Children has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the S. Mark Taper Foundation. The grant will provide education and housing support for hundreds of Los Angeles County foster youth. United Friends is a leader on the frontlines of improving the lives of over 1,400 foster youth every year in Los Angeles County.
"We are proud of our long-standing commitment to empower more Los Angeles County foster youth to become self-sufficient through service-enriched education and housing programs, advocacy and stable relationships," said Dr. Kara Allen Soldati, president and chief executive officer of United Friends of the Children. "And with generous partners like the S. Mark Taper Foundation, we can continue to produce positive outcomes for one of the most vulnerable populations in our community, foster youth."
"We are proud to support United Friends of the Children and its efforts to improve the lives of Los Angeles County foster youth," said Adrienne Wittenberg, Executive Director of the S. Mark Taper Foundation.
In Los Angeles County, there are more than 30,000 youth in foster care. The odds are stacked against them. Less than 50 percent graduate from high school, and only 3 percent earn a college degree. Enter United Friends, whose education program participants graduate high school at the rate of 93 percent and graduate college at a rate of 73 percent. These outcomes are a foundation that empowers thousands of foster youth to live better lives.
Robert A. Daly Jr., Linda Daly, and ...
United Friends of the Children is proud ...

Master's Thesis Format - Professional Thesis Writers At Your Side!
As with any Master's level academic work, a student, who's got a Master's thesis to complete, needs to understand that not only is the information contained within the thesis vital, but the ensuing format holds perhaps slightly higher of regards as the presentation of the thesis can immediately drop the score before the professor even reads it. There are vital steps to be included in the thesis writing process, and should one not have a firm grasp of basic Master's thesis format and structure, the assignment is for naught unless you have a professional writing agency to help you out. With years of experience to fall back on, BestEssayHelp employs a team of professional academic writers, who are able to assist you in coming up with an excellent Master's thesis format regardless of the academic level and the deadline.
There are five basic parts of a proper Master's thesis format you should understand. The introduction comes at the beginning of the piece and signifies what is to come in the paper, providing the professor with a brief overview of the purpose behind the thesis, what is included, and all relevant goals that one wishes to amass by writing the thesis in the first place. Secondly, the literary review is a necessary milestone as it contains key background information related to the research and data that was included when writing the thesis. Next, there is the methodology, explaining what materials and methods were used to script the paper, and this step provides an outline should anyone else have an interest in furthering the study. Fourth on the list is the results and/or findings section, explaining the direction of the research and what it produced. Finally, the conclusion will contain an overview of what was stated, and have direct reference to all sources used to collaborate the report.
The above described thesis writing process is fundamental for a basic Master's thesis format; although certain colleges may have variations of such papers, this is the basic outline to expect. Should one find this type of writing to be beyond their scope of work, our writing experts can assist by all means possible simply by having a title and general class notes. Our professional writing staff has been a factor in many Master's level students' success, and wishes to see all academically inclined people succeed in their fields of study. Our writers are standing by right now, willing to take your materials and return both a perfect Master's thesis format as well as the entire completed paper to you today.

How do you get your kids to eat "gourmet" meatballs smothered with prosciutto rich tomato sauce? By recreating an old-time favorite, Chef Boyardee SpaghettiOs.
I had originally made this dish a couple years ago, but never wrote down the recipe. I have received a few emails asking for it so I decided it was time to make it for the MEM Big Special Weekend. I use the meatball recipe also for hamburgers and Max tells me it is the best hamburger he has ever eaten, and he is a super picky kid. Your kids will love the circle pasta and the tiny meatballs. Sure to be a hit with even your pickiest eater!
For dessert we made Pizookie. I had never heard of a Pizookie until I read a post over at Diane & Todd's site, White on Rice Couple. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make it for the kids. All day I told them about the surprise dessert the Pizookie, we liked saying it, we would be having, never letting on what it was. They were so happy when I handed each of them a big deep dish, warm, gooey, chocolate chip cookie with vanilla bean ice cream. The only complaint was, that they wanted it served with chocolate next time and maybe a little chocolate sauce, too!
Heat olive oil in a deep saucepan.
Process prosciutto, garlic and onion in a food processor until finely minced.
Slowly cook in olive oil until caramelized, about 15 minutes.
Add the tomato sauce and water.
Stir in red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper. Lower heat and simmer for about an hour. The longer you cook the more intense the flavor.
Before serving stir in basil and the meatballs.
Form into tiny meatballs. If you have kids, they will love doing this.
bake at 425 for about 15 – 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked to your liking.
Before serving gently toss with the sauce.
While meatballs are cooking, cook pasta according to directions.
To serve: Drain pasta well. Toss with sauce and meatballs. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
18 Responses to "SpaghettiOs and Pizookies"
I love the SpaghettiOs and Pizookies! I am going to send this post to my niece for her 3 girls. I'm pretty sure they will love it.
I love this one--the spaghettios look fantastic! And the pizookies? What a great idea! My kids would love all of it.
My brother gave my mom cast-iron pazookie pans for Christmas (they make them locally in my home area); I'll have to dig one up for you next time I'm home!
There are special pans - will have to check that out!
Ok, I want a pizookie!!! This is so brilliant :-) Thnx for sharing!
Just the name alone, Pizookie, will get a child to try it. Kick up to gourmet level with sugar cookie dough and red bean ice cream...YUMMY. I'll have to make it both ways for the grown up kids in our house. ME and Lou. Thanks for sharing.
What a cute idea! Those are some lucky kids.
Do you use tomato sauce or tomato puree? Your photo has pieces of tomato showing.
oh I remember the pizookie from White on Rice! I he snickerdoodles with caramel apples are still etched in my head. I like the combination of choc chip cookie and vanilla ice cream. It'd be great to add some choc sauce on the top!


This is a terrible bug I purchased a room expansion from the design tab and I didn't do it before I got the goal because I figured it wasn't retroactive I've tried rebooting the name of the goal is Expanding Your Circle. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
To pass this goal, you need to purchase the expansion after you get the goal. Expansions prior to getting the goal will not count.
I purchased it when I got the goal and it didn't work. There is no way I'm going to buy another room expansion. Do you have any more suggestion on how to fix this?


What do you think will be on the 2012 Math SL exam?
Hello people, math exams are comming up soon so I came up with an idea for us to share what WE think will come up this year on the paper, as You know the IB examiners do not spend much time creating questions and mainly end on previous ones. Haha.
Please do not use internet slang.
Huh, how could we know. I presume it won't be exactly the same as last year's, but who knows. Better prepare for everything.
Expect the unexpected, but within reason. Do as many practice exams as possible and you should be prepared for anything. Granted, there will be a question in a format they have never asked before, but as long as you have the background information, you should be fine.
why do you think that? why do you think it is going to be in format that has never been before?
They always manage to surprise me somehow in the paper 2's!
Revise cyclical trigonometry! (i.e a wheel).
BTW what is Cyclical Trigonometry??..... is that the the function that involves Sin and Cos??


The Euro fell rather hard during the day on Tuesday as European traders came back to work. In fact, the Euro only budged slightly higher to kick off the day and then fell straight down towards which should be a relatively supportive area.
The fact that we were having Easter holidays did not mean that the market was poised to be boring and of low volatility.
Dollar Index is close to the upper limit of its 6-months trading range. GBPUSD remains trapped between MA200 and 1.30. Oil has jumped at the start of the week by 3%: WTI – $66, Brent – $73.70.
The pair is currently under pain of the earlier week released sparse economic indexes. In the last few sessions, the EUR/USD hardly moved amid Easter holidays. Tomorrow chances remain intact of action following specific German reports.
The Euro initially tried to fall at the very open on Monday but then turned around to show signs of strength again. We are at the bottom of a major consolidation area so it's not a huge surprise to see that the Euro got a bit of life down here.
The Euro pair may find some upward space on the back of downbeat expected US data and crude upsurge. Investors look forward to April 23 as the UK parliament will reopen after the Easter Recess.

What will be the single biggest security threat of 2018?
3 top cyber experts speaking out
6 reasons you're failing to focus on your biggest IT security threats
How AI can help you stay ahead of cybersecurity threats
Data and Information Security
By Michael Tanji, Contributor, CSO |
Listening to the echoes of cybersecurity history
Advancing the cause of security means letting the lessons of the past inform our actions today.
Pete Linforth (CC0)
The start of every new year brings with it a promise to ourselves to follow a new path. This is an effort to avoid mistakes we know will lead to unsatisfactory outcomes. Sadly, cybersecurity suffers from the same problems we face in other aspects of our lives: the ease with which we adhere to poor decision-making or lapse into behaviors that we know are not good for us.
While it is true that the market for cybersecurity products and services has been growing, the problems are the same, the impacts are worse, and while we make progress in discrete areas, at a meta level we've effectively been standing still.
Michael Tanji
Internet technology marches on; Internet security, not so much.
SANS publishes Top 25 Software Errors and the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) publishes its Top 10 vulnerabilities list; the nature of the problems noted in both lists has remained disturbingly consistent over time. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) list cannot keep up with the demand for its alphanumeric designators. In other words: there are so many problems we cannot keep track of them.
Allow me to dissuade you of the notion that any problem we are dealing with in cyber security today is new:
In 1976 a book called Computer Capers documented this then-new and scary problem of computer crime. It addressed system vulnerabilities, theft of intellectual property and money, and insider threats.
In the mid-1980s The Cuckoo's Egg was a detailed account of how a telephone billing discrepancy led to the discovery of Soviet intelligence using German hackers to exploit U.S. government and affiliated computer systems.
In 1998 series of attacks on DOD computers were detected. The prevailing theory at the time was a preemptive move on the part of the Iraqi government. Ultimately three teenagers with no political-military motivations were identified as the perpetrators.
In 2007 over 45 million credit and debit card details were lost in a data breach at TJX companies. At the time it was the largest loss of such data. The biggest breach before that? 40 million records in 2005 at CardSystems Solutions.
Documenting the total number of computer security incidents that have occurred in just the U.S. would fill several volumes. I have given you some prominent examples to show that the same problems go back decades. Yet in 2011 the then-Deputy Commander of U.S. Cyber Command complained about the "…real dearth of doctrine and policy in the world of cyberspace." This came as a surprise to those of us who contributed to policy-making because it seemed to ignore things like:
1998: Joint Doctrine for Information Operations
2003: National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace
2006: National Infrastructure Protection Plan
This is a very modest sample of just the unclassified governmental documents that address these issues. It does not include classified documents, dozens of other reports and studies from other governmental organizations as well as non-governmental ones. That is not a dearth but a deluge.
From the first PCCIP report to the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace to the CNCI and everything in between, everyone who has studied these issues has come to the same conclusions about what is required to address them. Because security activities are not coordinated or mandatory, to paraphrase science fiction author William Gibson: the knowledge required to improve cyber security is known, it is just not evenly distributed.
Not a day goes by without yet-another story in the media of how vulnerabilities in computer systems are exploited for at the expense of the legitimate system owner; stories that are indistinguishable from those captured in Computer Capers, a book that is forty years old.
30 years ago, Dr. Stoll related in The Cuckoo's Egg of how he tried to get both domestic and international law enforcement agencies, intelligence agencies, and private industry to work together to catch the Hanover Hackers. Anyone who works a computer crime case today finds themselves fighting those same battles.
Exploiting vulnerabilities in widely-used code was a new thing when the Morris Worm ran roughshod over the Internet in the 80s, yet things like Heartbleed and Shellshock are treated like something novel.
Pundits talk about the hack-of-the-month as a "wake up call" when in fact after every incident we push the snooze button and pull the covers over our heads. Any lessons we might have learned are quickly forgotten or ignored, and the process of wheel-reinvention begins anew.
Forward progress requires action. Action that will have an impact at scale. What actions to take should be informed by the hard fought lessons learned, and recognition that how we've been doing things hasn't been sufficient.
Study and appreciate our history. Security was being done before the Internet was a thing. If names like Parker and Neumann are unknown to you, you've not gone nearly far back enough.
Focus on gaining ground, not scoring points. Like football, this is a business of inches. Make enough small gains and you'll be surprised where you end up; try to be Doug Flutie every day and you're going to be sorely disappointed.
Aim for the center mass. Your solution for some edge-case may earn you nerd street cred, but it is not going to improve the situation for the 99%. The things that make a real difference are usually the most unglamorous and mundane.
Give some thought to design and usability. The people who need the most help when it comes to security will not use the command line. Elegant code that doesn't get used is not a solution, it's a hobby.
We can listen to and learn from the echoes of history, or we can keep doing what we've been doing and wonder why nothing changes. I don't know that I'll ever retire a security problem, but I'd like to retire knowing I contributed to forward progress.

Our recent focus on mental health has raised some concern.
I am trying to understand if it is possible to flag certain words such as 'suicide' to nominated members of our community.
This is not possible with the current functionality and I was wondering if anyone had set something similar up or found a work around.
You could have a space or group that was private to those select members, and then have a couple of super list tiles that are filtered from the main Browse page for specific text.
We use the interceptor, primarily for a specific set of words that will cause the post to not be posted, and alert our admins on who and what. We also use the moderation function to identify certain words that could be ok to post, but we want a moderator to review first. We are on version 2018.2.8 of the cloud version.
The interceptor can be found by going to the advanced admin console, then Spaces>Setting>Interceptors. You will need to install the Keyword interceptor on the page, and then edit. Note you can set these up differently by space.
Yes, this functionality is in the Cloud, but the email part that Helen shows below is not in either 2016.3 or 2018.2/3. I am almost positive that I've seen it in the Cloud version but since it is rarely used I might be misremembering.
So Sandra Marini: You could flag these words and have them go into moderation before publishing - but that might freak out someone who was posting one of your keywords in the case of wanting to identify users who may have some mental health issues.
You could do a periodic search of these words either using the spotlight search or by filtering on the /content page. That would be the least instrusive way I can think of monitoring.
Jeremy Ries - thank you. I was told by support that interceptors could not be flagged to certain people but that only the poster would receive a notification that their word was blocked.
I wouldn't want the word blocked or a message to go to the poster if they were talking about suicide but rather that it was flagged to a group of people.
That's been a change then, because we set ours up to specifically email certain individuals. Looks like the functionality on the page has changed, as I no longer see that option available.
We have always been on cloud. We set it up in June of 2016, but don't remember if that was 2016.3 yet or not.
Michelle Gantt - thank you. I looked into this but with an interceptor, it blocks the word and sends a message to the poster that the content has been denied.
I completely agree that this is not what you want to happen.
However, looking at the most recent versions of the Cloud platform, there is only the option to block content, with no mention of emails.
We're trying to establish what has changed and why. One of us will report back when we have an update.
In the meantime, I'd definitely recommend that you raise a case to get this into the system.
Stuart McIntyre - thank you that would be great. I thought I remembered such functionality. It would be great to have this option.
I did originally raise this with Aurea support who pointed me to the interceptors and said there was no way to do what I wanted. Or should I raise a different case asking for the return of this functionality?
That is still available in the Cloud/AWS version.
When we setup this functionality it was described as a "Global" interceptor and needed a special "trick" to access it.
The "trick" is that you need a specific URL, one that is not available via the normal Admin UI.
Gregor Scott for the win! You're right - you can find it in the global interceptors (I swear I checked that, but I think I had the URL wrong).
Sandra Marini: what you do is put the words you want to flag in the 4th box down and then the email addresses you want the emails sent to in the 5th. This will flag anything that is in personal content and groups, as well as spaces.
Unfortunately our instance does not have the additional boxes any longer. Looks like I may need to open a ticket with support. Could it have to do with the version difference? Michelle Gantt - looks like yours is on 2016.3.9. We just updated to 2018.3.0.
I did use the special URL and it is not working like yours.
I will follow up with Support.
(800) 976-1303 to manage email preferences.
Michelle Gantt - how do you get to that page?
What you have to do is go to admin console > spaces > settings > interceptors. Then once you get to the page, manually change the URL so that the "communityID=1" is "communityID=-1"
Also, for future reference, please see the link to the document about making your interceptors global in one of my comments above.
Thank you Gregor Scott and Michelle Gantt but I can't access the link - I get an error message.
The link to the global page?
Check the URL again and see what happens if you manually change the "1" to "-1"
I'm wondering if it's a permission issue - I'm logged in as the Support Full Access and can see it. Sandra you have customer Full Access and can't. Gregor Scott can you still see it now that you've migrated to AWS? And Jeremy Ries: what level of access do you have?
If I'm correct, you could still have the global interceptors applied, but you would need to open a support case and give support the list of words you want flagged and the email addresses you want the notices to go to.
Although I just logged into someone else's community as a regular full access admin and could get to the correct page. So it may not be as simple as a permission issue.
Everyone, make sure that you are changing the CommunityID to "-1" not the Community=1.
I have full admin access.
After our discussions where I was getting the same as Sandra, I logged out and closed my browser. When I went back in, and did the copy/paste of the URL, for some odd reason it worked.
It didn't have my original word list or settings (those were set at the root space level, not global), so I just had to set it up again.
I didn't change anything between the two attempts, so not sure why I was able to get to the global settings page the 2nd time.
OK so yes, you're experiencing the issue that others have found. At this point, I'm sorry to say that it will need to be a support case if you want to use this feature. I think you said that you've already got one open - so if you could add those two screenshots into it, that will help them figure out what you're trying to do.
If they say that this is working as expected, you can give them the list of words and the list of email addresses and ask them to install it themselves.
Michelle Gantt - I still haven't received an email notifying me of the word 'suicide' being used in a post. Any thoughts?
Possibly check your spam? Can you post a screenshot of how it was set up?
It was such an obscure requirement at the time I was setting it up that even created a shortcut with the specific URL so I would not forget it.

Q: Extract only sun tar.gz/zip I have a zip/tar.gz that contain zip files that contains another zip file.
For example:
1.zip contains 2.tar.gz and 3.zip.
3.zip contains 4.zip.

I want to extract only 4.zip from 1.zip, I don't want to extract all of files.
How can I do that?

A: This is harder than it might seem because unzip can't extract from its standard input, so you can't chain it with pipes. However, jar can extract ZIP archives from its standard input, as can funzip (with some limitations).
If 3.zip only contains 4.zip, or contains 4.zip as its first member, then funzip can be used:
unzip -p 1.zip 3.zip | funzip > 4.zip

This uses unzip to extract 3.zip's contents from 1.zip, piping them to standard output, into funzip which extracts 4.zip's contents, and writing them to 4.zip.
jar works regardless of the other contents of 3.zip:
unzip -p 1.zip 3.zip | jar x 4.zip

This feeds 3.zip's contents into jar, extracting 4.zip.
funzip is shipped alongside unzip; jar is part of the Java Development Kit, e.g. openjdk-11-jdk-headless on Debian 10.
