My Favorite Exploit

XSS (Cross Site Scripting) is my personal favorite security hole. It's everywhere, on almost every site, and it's fun to exploit! I used to spend my evenings scouring the top 500 sites on alexa for XSS vulnerabilities just for fun. In addition to that I did most of my testing manually. There are tools built to automate most XSS vulnerability tests, but that's no fun. This hacking spree taught me the foundations of JavaScript and web development in general. By developing intricate tunnel exploit schemes I learned so much about how the web operates at the user level and how bugs enable hackers to get in.

My endeavours got my name here: Google Security Hall Of Fame

Which led me to create this: https://gallery.zolmeister.com/ (click the page)

That page is my XSS gallery. The images are the websites favicons, with size relative to their ranking. I have saved nearly every one of the XSS vulnerabilities I have found by hand, which is now over 200. Most of the sites are ones that were unhelpful or just pissed me off in general and so I took a few minutes to find an XSS vulnerability in them (I almost never report these vulnerabilities). Some however (the big icons) are ones where I started at the top of a list of most popular sites and moved my way down, collecting vulnerabilities along the way. It's pretty scary actually, knowing that even the most high profile sites are vulnerable.

America's Economic Future – A Discussion By Ted Kavadas
A Special Note On Our Economic Situation
Money Supply Charts Through May 2014
November 27, 2014 June 17, 2014 by Ted Kavadas
For reference purposes, below are four charts depicting growth in the money supply.
The first shows the MZM (Money Zero Maturity), defined in FRED as the following:
M2 less small-denomination time deposits plus institutional money funds.
Money Zero Maturity is calculated by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
Here is the "MZM Money Stock" (seasonally adjusted) chart, last updated on 6-13-14, depicting data through May 2014, with value $12,508.1 Billion:
Here is the "MZM Money Stock" chart on a "Percent Change From Year Ago" basis:
Data Source: FRED, Federal Reserve Economic Data, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis; accessed June 17, 2014:
https://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/MZMSL
The two charts below show M2, defined in FRED as the following:
M2 includes a broader set of financial assets held principally by households. M2 consists of M1 plus: (1) savings deposits (which include money market deposit accounts, or MMDAs); (2) small-denomination time deposits (time deposits in amounts of less than $100,000); and (3) balances in retail money market mutual funds (MMMFs). Seasonally adjusted M2 is computed by summing savings deposits, small-denomination time deposits, and retail MMMFs, each seasonally adjusted separately, and adding this result to seasonally adjusted M1.
Here is the "M2 Money Stock" (seasonally adjusted) chart, last updated on 6-12-14, depicting data through May 2014, with value $11,287.3 Billion:

Janet Camp Troxell Collection of Rossetti Manuscripts, 1832-1965 (mostly 1860-1900)
Newbolt, Sir Henry John, 1862-1938
Troxell, Janet Camp
Newbolt, Sir Henry John; Janet Camp Troxell Collection of Rossetti Manuscripts, C0189, Manuscripts Division, Department of Special Collections, Princeton University Library
The Troxell Collection contains over 3000 manuscripts relating to the Rossettis and their friends. While Dante Gabriel is the central figure, his brother and sisters (William Michael, Christina Georgina, Maria Francesca) are also represented, as are several other members of the Polidori/Rossetti families. Other research interests amply supported by the collection include the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and Victorian art, poetry, and literature.
A general summary of the Rossetti material follows: I. Christina-many AMss of her poems, the AMs of Commonplace and Other Stories, over 60 letters, a lock of hair, and various photographs, portraits, and newspaper clippings. II. Dante-numerous AMss of poems, including "Eden Bower," The House of Life, other sonnets and lyrics; proofs to stages of Poems, before and after the exhumation of his manuscript from his wife's grave; over 250 letters; memorabilia, newspaper clippings, photographs, portraits, and supplementary material. III. Maria-11 letters and supplementary material. IV. William-AMss, including his introduction to the P.R.B. Journal; over 200 letters, 3 documents, and 1 photograph.
Papers of other persons in the Rossetti "circle," or family friends, include correspondence of manuscripts from Mackenzie Bell, including the AMs and printer's galleys for his biography of Christina; Ford Madox Brown; Robert Browning; Edward Burne-Jones, including drawings and sketches; Hall Caine, including the AMs of Recollections of Dante Gabriel Rossetti; William Holman Hunt; William Morris, William Bell Scott (sizable correspondence); Algernon Charles Swinburne; and Theodore Watts-Dunton. In addition, there are 5 boxes of Janet Troxell material, primarily notes, correspondence, and articles about the collection. Information about the book portion of the troxell Collection can be obtained from the Rare Books Department.

Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) is none too happy with the "new poster boy for greed and arrogance," a local school superintendent in New Jersey making $212,000 a year.
Whew. Good thing we don't have any overpaid superintendents like that in Oklahoma.

Taipei; 8 am yesterday morning, the 520 seats arranged for the occasions were full. The crowded hall of Tibetans entered, and sat on the floor to bear witness to His Holiness the Dalai Lama's return to Taiwan. His visit is in response to the Typhoon that caused widespread damage and loss of life in Taiwan last month. He also spoke about his absence of eight years from Taiwan, and expressed the sadness he feels from been away from Taiwanese people for so long. More than anything else though, the holy man came to offer prayers and initiate a healing process for those effected, and to address the younger generation and inquired about their education.
2001 was the last time His Holiness met with Taiwanese Buddhists, but because of the freezing of Titan-Sino relationships, His Holiness deemed that it was better not to visit the island. On a visit to Dharamshala, Taiwan's Buddhist followers asked him, "have you forgotten the Taiwan's Buddhist followers?" His Holiness replied, "I never forgot them, and I miss everyone so much."
His Holiness the Dalai Lama received an invitation to visit Taiwan after the typhoon. His sacred vow to the Nagajuna Bodhisattva's teaching binds him to sentient beings and also to land, wind, fire, and water. Tibetans, he advised, must have compassion for nature, and for natural disasters.
Facing the destruction that the typhoon caused, His Holiness the Dalai Lama focused on the future and asked the crowd, "how many of you are in college? He then responded to his own question by encouraging the young Tibetans to study hard since knowledge is human-power; "Tibetans should not live by just courage and strength, but this must be backed by education and preserving Tibetan culture and heritage."
October second is Taiwan's traditional festival - Hungry Ghost Festival. Each household makes an offering to the gods and prays to God's blessed peace for everyone. On this traditional day of praising the gods and working for peace, the Tibetan spiritual leader commended the freedoms that the Taiwanese people have secured for themselves; "Taiwan's people are enjoying democracy and freedom of speech, please also let China enjoy freedom of speech. They are eager to have freedom of speech so much. Chinese President Hu Jintao has the idea of social harmony, it is important, but the harmonious society must be based on democracy, equality and freedoms."


04/11/2018 03:02Posted by BatLBIt wasn't blizzard who deleted downvotes, it was youtube. its their algorithm to prevent bot network downvotes. if downvotes seem suspicious or automatically created, they remove them.if they would have removed downvotes, ALL of them would be gone. No reason to remove 100.00.We should reach out to Youtube, and ask them to look over this, if their algorithm made a mistake. Maybe it "flaged" downvotes because they happened so quickly, like it looked to be bots, but it wasnt.
Activision has deleted 100.000 Dislikes.
Please stop this fake news spread. Blizzard cant do that. It is 100% Youtube deleting "troll posts" or comments against TOS and filtering likes, which are send through bot nets to influence the like/dislike percentage curve.No channel has the ability to delete likes/dislikes. Only Youtube can do that.
Do followers hint towards loot?
My follower once said something like "Thats a powerful creature over there and it wears a Thunderfury.", had a hard time killing it but what can I say, it dropped my first TF.

A mozgószabály a magyar helyesírás egyik szabálycsoportja. Az  tárgyalja őket (pontosabban a lent említett három "fő" mozgószabályt). A név "mozgó" előtagja arra utal, hogy ha egy szókapcsolatba vagy összetételbe egy új tagot illesztünk, akkor az új jelentés pontos tükrözése érdekében a kötőjel, illetve a szóhatárok dinamikusan elmozdulnak.

A nehézkes alakulatok kerülése

A mozgószabály olykor hosszú, nehézkes alakulatokat állít elő, ezért az AkH. és az OH. egyaránt a körülírt szerkezetek használatát javasolja:
a kerekasztalkonferencia-rendezés szó helyett a kerekasztal-konferencia rendezése alakot (az első mozgószabály esetén),
a hőrelágyulóműanyag-feldolgozás helyett a hőre lágyuló műanyagok feldolgozása alakot (a második mozgószabály esetén),
a valuta vétel-eladás helyett pedig a valuta vétele és eladása alakot (a harmadik mozgószabály esetén).

A három fő mozgószabály

A) Eleve kötőjellel írt összetételek bővülésekor
Ha egy 6 szótagnál hosszabb és 2-nél több szóból álló – tehát eleve kötőjellel írt – szóösszetételhez újabb szó járul, akkor a meglévő kötőjel eltűnik az eredeti helyéről, és az új tag mellé kerül (ezáltal továbbra is a két fő összetételi tagot jelöli). Például:
békeszerződés-tervezet + kidolgozás → békeszerződéstervezet-kidolgozás

Képlettel:
A-B + C → AB-C vagy
A + B-C → A-BC

Megjegyzések:
Ez a szabály a képzőszerű utótagokra is érvényes:
anyagcsere-vizsgálat + -féleség → anyagcserevizsgálat-féleség.
A nagykötőjeles összetételekre szintén alkalmazható, pl.:
Újpest–Sopron + labdarúgó-mérkőzés → Újpest–Sopron-labdarúgómérkőzésKivételei
Ez a mozgószabály nem hajtható végre, ha az összetétel egyik tagja olyan kötőjeles szó, ahol a kötőjelet nem a szótagszámlálás szabálya vagy egyéb mozgószabály írja elő:A-vitamin + hiány → A-vitamin-hiány (továbbá A-vitamin-hiány-megelőzés)spicc-cipő + szaküzlet → spicc-cipő-szaküzletszén-monoxid + mérgezés → szén-monoxid-mérgezés (OH. 131.)
A további példákat l. az egynél több kötőjellel írt összetételtípusok listája szócikkben.

B) Különírt szókapcsolatok bővülésekor
Ha egy különírt szókapcsolathoz olyan szó járul, ami a kettőhöz együtt tartozik, akkor a köztük lévő szóköz eltűnik, és az új tag (a szavak hosszától függetlenül) kötőjellel fog a kettőhöz járulni. Például:meleg víz + csap → melegvíz-csap ('olyan csap, amiből meleg víz folyik')számtan + házi feladat → számtan-házifeladatKéplete:
A B + C → AB-C vagy
A + B C → A-BC

Ez a szabály az értelemtükrözés elvének egyik példája, mivel ha a szókapcsolat különírását megőriznénk, és a második tagjához illesztenénk az új tagot, a szókapcsolat mást jelentene: a meleg vízcsap nem azt a csapot jelöli, amiből meleg víz folyik, hanem a felforrósodott vízcsapot. Még szemléletesebb lehet az ortopédcipő-készítő és a (kevésbé szokványos) ortopéd cipőkészítő alakok összevetése.

Egyes alakulatoknál nincs különbség vagy csak elenyésző különbség van a mozgószabály alkalmazása nélkül, illetve az ennek alkalmazásával alkotott kifejezések jelentése között: ilyenkor mindkét írásforma megfelelő lehet, például önkormányzatiképviselő-testület és önkormányzati képviselőtestület.A mozgószabályt olykor többször is alkalmazhatjuk egy kifejezésben, pl.verseny + vitorlás hajó → verseny-vitorláshajó,felnőtt + verseny-vitorláshajó → felnőtt-versenyvitorláshajó.

Ezt a mozgószabályt is érvényesítjük a képzőszerű utótagokra, pl.
kezelési útmutató + féle → kezelésiútmutató-féle.

Kivételei
Kivételes különírás

Ez a fajta mozgószabály nem alkalmazható egyes összetételeknél, ahol az egyik tag tulajdonneves alakulat, tulajdonnévi betűszó, különálló betű, ill. különírt vagy kötőjeles idegen szó, így esetükben megtartjuk mindegyik tag különírását:
maine coon + tenyésztő → maine coon tenyésztő, ugyanígy férfi eau de toilette, body building terem, rhodesian ridgeback tenyészet (OH. 133.)
T dugó + csere → T dugó csere, ugyanígy x tengely szerkesztés, S kanyar ív (OH. 133.)
A további példákat l. a Különírt összetételtípusok listája szócikkben.

Bizonyos szókapcsolatokat kivételesen a fenti eseteken túlmenően is különírunk, így például a férfi előtagú szerkezetek közül az alábbi ötöt:
 férfi egyes (mérkőzés), férfi nemi hormon, férfi nemi szerv, férfi páros, férfi mellúszás (OH. 133. és 115.)

Kivételes egybeírás

Némely más szavaknál hagyományosan az egybeírt forma honosodott meg, így ezeknél szintén nem alkalmazzuk a mozgószabályt: egyistenhit, egyistenhívő, egypárevezős, egypártrendszer, kétpárevezős, kétszínnyomás, sokistenhit, sokistenhívő, többistenhit, többistenhívő, többpártrendszer. (OH. 132.)

Kivételes kötőjeles írás

Egyes szavakban a mozgószabály alkalmazásával három azonos mássalhangzó kerülne egymás mellé, így esetükben a tagok teljes egybeírása helyett a kötőjeles íráshoz folyamodhatunk:
festett tapéta + bolt → festett-tapéta-bolt (OH. 133.)
(A körülírás ilyenkor is alkalmazható, például festett tapéták boltja.)

Bonyolultabb esetei
A második mozgószabály az elsővel együtt is megjelenhet, pl.
kettes fogat + fogathajtó verseny → kettes-fogathajtóverseny (OH. 133.)

Ha két jelző kapcsolódik együttesen egy közös utótaghoz, s az egyik jelző összetett szó, akkor ez az adott szókapcsolatban alkalmilag szintén összevonódhat:
szabad demokrata, de szocialista-szabaddemokrata egyezség (OH. 133.)

C) Közös taggal rendelkező összetételek összevonásakor
Két összetétel, amelynek valamelyik tagja azonos, mellérendelő kapcsolattá vonódhat össze, s ilyenkor a két azonos tag közé kötőjel kerül, a korábban egybeírt közös tag pedig különíródik tőlük:
ajakhang + foghang → ajak-fog hang
valutavétel + valutaeladás → valuta vétel-eladás

Képlete:
AB + CB → A-C B vagy
AB + AC → A B-C

Ez a mozgószabály az egyszerűsítő írásmód példájának tekinthető, mivel a fentiekben jelentéssűrítő összetételek jönnek létre, amelyekben azonban az egyszerűség és a jobb áttekinthetőség kedvéért nem tesszük ki a kötőjelet.

Kettőnél több tag esetén is előfordul: jég-víz-gőz rendszer (OH. 867.).

Kivételei
Ha a közös tag eleve kötőjeles, akkor az azonos szerepű tagok közé nagykötőjel kerül, a közös tag pedig kötőjeles marad:
Magay-szótár + Országh-szótár → Magay–Országh-szótár (OH. 134., vö. , ), vö. Nagykötőjel-kiskötőjel biszbaszok (Korrektorblog)

A szabályt azonos utótagú számnevek összevonásakor sem érvényesítjük:
egyszáz + kétszáz → egy-kétszáz (OH., szótár)

Ha az egyik (nem közös) tag eleve nagykötőjelet tartalmaz, akkor a mozgószabály alkalmazásakor ebből kiskötőjel lesz, és a nagykötőjel a másik (nem közös) taggal való kapcsolatot fogja jelölni. Például: angol–francia–USA jegyzék a Szovjetunióhoz, de mozgószabállyal: angol-francia-USA–szovjet jegyzékváltás (OH. 460.).

Három további mozgószabály

Földrajzi nevek összevonása
Kutas-ér-parti + Alsó-csatorna → Kutasérparti-Alsó-csatorna, Délkeleti-Indiaióceáni-hátság (OH. 206.)

Ez a szabály csak a háromnál több tagú földrajzi nevekre vonatkozik, és azokra is csak akkor, ha nem egyetlen tag többszöri bővítéséből jöttek létre: a Decsi-Nagy-Holt-Duna (OH. 201., 206.) esetében például nincs összevonás.

Kémiai nevek összevonása
vas-szulfát-oldat + réz-szulfát-oldat → vas-szulfát–réz-szulfát oldat

Anyagnevek összevonása
zúzott kő + burkolat → zúzottkő burkolat ()

An Inspiring Email Newsletter For Every Writer
NOTE: This originally ran as my Literary Life column for the Dayton Daily News on August, 20, 2017.)
Here in the Greater Miami Valley, there's a not-well-kept secret among writers (as well as those who love to read and are fascinated by the writing life).
And here it is: you want to subscribe to Fred Marion's email newsletter.
Now, that may seem a little odd. Who in the world wants *more* email, and why, of all things, a newsletter?
Because Fred's weekly email newsletter is part poetic homage to the writing life, part insight into the creative process, part inspiration, and part events calendar. And it adds up to a whole that is a love letter to writing and the creative process. Not in a goopy, drippy way. Remember, being in love can include some angst.
His email newsletter—the one bit of email I eagerly and actively look for each week—covers everything from an ode to libraries, the "paradox in art" of needing to look both inward and outward, family life and art, the danger of fear leading us to live lives we never wanted, and oh so much more.
Fred grew up in the Dayton area, attended Wright State University, graduating with a degree in English with a focus in creative writing in 2002, spent seven years as a journalist, and now works as a freelance marketing writer and web designer.
He always loved creative writing, but says he became serious about it when his wife became pregnant
with their first child.
"Knowing we were going to have a kid was a huge wakeup call for me. I always wanted to write a book," Fred says. "I thought, how can I say 'follow your dreams!' to our child, if I wasn't doing it myself? Somehow, I managed to crank out a draft before our daughter was born. I shopped my book around, but didn't get great results. I decided I needed a community."
Fred, who lives in Bellbrook with his wife and children, says he started going to literary events in the area. At an Antioch Writers' Workshop event, he met author Kristina McBride (www.kristinamcbride.com) and hired her to review his book through The Write Sisters (www.writesistersconsulting.com). (Disclosure: I am a member of The Write Sisters.)
"Her feedback helped me know how to revise my novel, a middle grade story about orphans with super powers," Fred says. "That revision was good enough for me to land a good literary agent. I'm working on another round of revision with my agent."
But based on Fred's sentiments in his email newsletter, the journey is as important—if not more so—than the results.
"When I started going to literary events in the Dayton area, I found myself almost overwhelmed by the opportunities to meet other writers, whether as a writer or reader," Fred says. "I started a website, DaytonLit.com, almost as a calendar for myself to keep track. Then, a few people wanted the information in an email newsletter. And I thought I'd add some of my experiences and thoughts about my writing journey."
Fred's email newsletter started with three subscribers two years ago. Through word of mouth, it now has 235 subscribers.
"My style as a writer is confessional and vulnerable," Fred says. "I remember going to a talk by Richard Paul Evans and his book The Christmas Box at Books & Co. and someone commented his writing was too confessional, putting too much out there. But he said that's what a writer does, and if a writer isn't willing to do that, they should get a different job. I hear that in back of my mind a lot. I want my writing to be true and honest. I apply that to my life and turn that into a brief essay in my newsletter."
"My dream," Fred adds, "is that a someday, someone will say, 'Fred, I've been a subscriber and your newsletter inspired me to take art class or write first book.'"

Allergic reactions aren't just in your head.
Allergies are very real - in some cases, potentially life-threatening - rooted in heredity and the environment, yet the mind plays a significant role in their behavior and emotions can trigger allergic reactions.
"Allergy straddles the mind-body border," explains Dr. Andrew Weil, a Harvard-trained physician who is a leading authority on alternative medicine.
"Emotional stress can precipitate allergic reactions, and relaxation techniques can moderate them. A person who is strongly allergic to roses, for example, may react to the sight of a plastic rose, demonstrating the involvement of the mind and the brain." Dr. Weil advocates hypnotherapy to lessen or even prevent allergic reactions.

LUKE CAGE – THE FORGE
Netflix Original Series 'Marvel's Luke Cage' Adds to the Cast
Simone Missick, Theo Rossi, Frank Whaley and Rosario Dawson join the series!
"Marvel's Luke Cage" has added four important characters with Misty Knight, Shades, Rafael Scarfe and Claire Temple. The series will be streaming everywhere Netflix is available in 2016.
Simone Missick to star as Misty Knight
MoreI
Simone Missick ("Ray Donovan") has joined the cast to play popular character Misty Knight, a Harlem police detective who is determined to learn the truth about Luke Cage.
"We know fans have waited years to see Misty Knight brought to life, so we had to find the right actress," said Executive Producer/Marvel's Head of TV Jeph Loeb. "Simone blew us away with her performance as the strong-willed cop on a mission."
Theo Rossi to star as Shades
Theo Rossi ("Sons of Anarchy," "Bad Hurt") has joined the cast as Shades, a ruthless criminal with ties to Cage's mysterious past.
"Theo Rossi is a swiss army knife–no matter what you bring to him, he has a tool for it–and he's playfully unpredictable," said series Executive Producer and Showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker. "His Shades will be someone you hate to love."
Frank Whaley to star as Rafael Scarfe
Frank Whaley ("Ray Donovan," "Pulp Fiction") has been cast as Rafael Scarfe, a hard-nosed NYPD detective who partners with Misty Knight in their Luke Cage investigation.
"Frank Whaley has a wiry intensity that he's imbued in Det. Rafael Scarfe," said Coker. "He's a great counterpart to Misty, and a wonderful actor."
Rosario Dawson reprises her role as Claire Temple
Actress Rosario Dawson, celebrated for her work in "Top Five," "Sin City," and "Kids," will reprise her role from "Marvel's Daredevil" as nurse Claire Temple. Her blossoming friendship with Luke Cage will have a major impact on both characters' lives.
"We are thrilled to have Rosario in another one of our television series," said Loeb. "Her performance as Claire Temple in Marvel's Daredevil was astonishing and we can't wait to see her shine in Marvel's Luke Cage."
It was previously announced that Mike Colter ("Marvel's Jessica Jones," "The Good Wife") will play the charismatic lead character, Luke Cage, in the series. Mahershala Ali will play his archrival Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes. Cheo Hodari Coker ("SouthLAnd," "Ray Donovan") will write the series' first two episodes in addition to serving as showrunner and Executive Producer along with Loeb.
After a sabotaged experiment leaves him with super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage (Mike Colter) becomes a fugitive trying to rebuild his life in modern day Harlem, New York City. But he is soon pulled out of the shadows and must fight a battle for the heart of his city – forcing him to confront a past he had tried to bury.
"Marvel's Luke Cage" is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix.

A deep chemical peel is a treatment for moderate to severe sun damage, scars or coarse wrinkles. Dr. Rosen chooses a special chemical solution that gets applied to the face, removing the outermost layers of damaged skin. The strongest of these chemical peels are made with phenol, a powerful but well tolerated substance. For a peel with moderate depth, TCA (trichloarecetic acid) may be recommended.
You will need to meet with Dr. Rosen to determine if a chemical peel is the right treatment. Because of the risk of pigment changes, a deep peel may not be recommended for you if you have darker skin.
A deep chemical peel can take 20 minutes to an hour. It is usually applied only on the face, whereas a light peel may treat the chest and neck. First the skin is cleansed thoroughly. Then your surgeon or aesthetician applies the solution evenly. You may feel a slight stinging sensation as the solution is applied but you will adjust to it quickly.
After a deep Chemical peel Philadelphia, you will probably need to arrange for assistance during the initial recovery period. Your activities will be limited. It's best to relax for a few days as the skin heals. There will be some swelling and a crust will form over the treated area. New skin will emerge in about 1 week and your face will fade from a red to pinkish color. Sun protection is very important during this time. When healing is complete, expect a noticeable improvement in the surface of your skin – you'll have fewer wrinkles, blemishes and a more even skin tone.
With a deep peel like phenol, your skin may lose its ability to make pigment. There may be uneven pigment changes and freckles may be permanently removed.
To treat acne scars and uneven skin texture, dermabrasion may be recommended as an alternative to the deep chemical peel.
Contact our cosmetic surgery Philadelphia practice to learn more about deep chemical peels and the other alternative treatments we offer.

Creepy crawlies decline as human population soars
The number of slugs, spiders, butterflies, worms and other invertabrates has fallen by 45 per cent in 35 years in a decline whcih could have huge implications for humans
As the human population has doubled over the last 35 year, invertebrate numbers have fallen by nearly half over the same period Photo: Alamy
By Sarah Knapton, Science Correspondent
The world's soaring human population has slashed the numbers of creepy crawlies by nearly a study has found.
However, researchers say the demise of slugs, spiders and worms is not good news for us humans and could spark an explosion in pests.
The study, published in the journal Science, revealed that as the human population has doubled over the last 35 years to now stand at more than seven billion, invertebrate numbers have fallen by nearly half over the same period.
Experts fear this could have an effect on ecosystems as insects, spiders, crustaceans slug and worms play an important role in pollinating crops, pest control, decomposition and ensuring soil remains packed with nutrients, as well as water filtration.
The fall in invertebrate numbers is thought to be linked to the loss of their natural habitats and disruption of the climate.
Warm summer means an early abundance of blackberries
Bats get 'the bends' from wind turbines
The 66 gestures of chimpanzees
Swarm of 'killer bees' sting man 1,000 times
Cannibal harlequin ladybirds 'eating native British cousins'
Ancient woods under threat
In the UK these two factors caused a massive reduction in the number of beetles, butterflies, bees and wasps, a 30-60 percent fall over 40 years, according to the study.
Experts warned that fewer insects would have a huge effect on crop production as up to 75 per are pollinated by insects, amounting to around 10 per cent of the world's food supply.
And the cost of pest control without natural predators could be more than £2.6 billion pounds in the United States alone.
Scientists also fear the consequences of a world with fewer birds and insects to recycle and move nutrients, and say it would result in a less reliable food supply.
With fewer amphibians it is also feared that we could end up with more algae clogging up our water supply.
Decreasing invertebrate numbers are also known to compromise food production due to reduced pollination, seed dispersal and insect predation but the impact the continuing loss of animals, including invertebrates, has on the spread of human disease needs to be better understood as a priority.
Dr Ben Collen, from University College London's Biosciences Department, said: "We were shocked to find similar losses in invertebrates as with larger animals, as we previously thought invertebrates to be more resilient.
"While we don't fully understand what the long-term impact of these declining numbers will be, currently we are in the potentially dangerous position of losing integral parts of ecosystems without knowing what roles they play within it.
"Prevention of further declines will require us to better understand what species are winning and losing in the fight for survival and from studying the winners, apply what we learn to improve conservation projects.
"We also need to develop predictive tools for modelling the impact of changes to the ecosystem so we can prioritise conservation efforts, working with governments globally to create supportive policy to reverse the worrying trends we are seeing."
Lead author Prof Rodolfo Dirzo, of Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment in the US, added: "Where human density is high, you get high rates of defaunation, high incidence of rodents, and thus high levels of pathogens, which increases the risks of disease transmission.
"Who would have thought that just defaunation would have all these dramatic consequences, but it can be a vicious circle.
"We tend to think about extinction as loss of a species from the face of Earth, and that's very important, but there's a loss of critical ecosystem functioning in which animals play a central role that we need to pay attention to as well.
"Ironically, we have long considered that defaunation is a cryptic phenomenon, but I think we will end up with a situation that is non-cryptic because of the increasingly obvious consequences to the planet and to human well-being."

Husky Ladies Tennis
By: Peyton Lawson
It's a new school year and a new sports season. The Husky Women's Tennis team began their season with optimism and momentum. With the guidance of Coach Winstead, the girls are improving their skills on the court and learning leadership that will last a lifetime.
Coach Winstead proudly explains the differences in this years team, "We have had a drastic change in our lineup, that's the biggest thing. We had several girls graduate last year, so the leadership has changed. This has been a good change; some new girls stepping up and becoming leaders." As in most sports, these leaders are essential to the function of the team. Though girls play individually on the court, tennis is a team sport. Coach Winstead describes the thrill of playing for a team as "intimate and exciting" and loves the sport for this reason. She describes her excitement knowing that "tennis can change at any second; the momentum can change based on a certain point or game. It is really exciting."
The team leaders help unite the individuals on the team, which is a key part of the game's success. Coach Winstead elaborates on the timeline of things, "We start out with singles. There are six singles matches happening at one time. The scoring goes best two out of three sets. The girls who win six games first will win a set and then two sets out of three wins the match. Once those matches are over, there are three doubles matches. With those, the first to win eight games wins the match." This format requires teamwork, leadership, and balance. Every game win is required to win a match, and every match win is essential. For a successful game, all team members must carry their weight.
The Lady Huskies are optimistic about the coming season. One of their biggest games is tomorrow against our cross-town rivals, Wake Forest High School. The Hooligans are known for their support in a variety of sports and tennis should be no exception. All Hooligans should come to the match tomorrow at 3:30, right here on the Husky courts. If you can't make it tomorrow, don't worry, the season is far from over! With a current in-conference record of 1-1, the Lady Huskies are looking forward to the rest of the season. The game schedule is as follows:
9/14 3:30 vs Wake Forest
9/19 3:30 @ Corinth Holders
9/20 3:30 vs Wakefield
9/26 3:30 @ Knightdale
9/28 3:30 vs Rolesville
10/2 3:30 @ Wake Forest
10/4 3:30 vs Corinth Holders
Best of luck to our women's team as they continue their season! See you all at 3:30 tomorrow where a #NewEra of Husky sports will continue.

Q: Multiple instances of rule with FTP.remote as input I'm working on snakemake workflow that uses files located on an FTP server as input for the first rule via an FTP.remote() call.  The workflow executes just fine, but the FTP downloads always execute serially - even when the DAG and the command line options would allow multipe instances of the rule to run in parallel. I presume this is because I've only opened one FTP connection outside the rule, so that connection is shared by all calls to FTP.remote.  Is it possible to get snakemake to open an FTP connection for each instance of the rule so that I can be downloading multiple files from the FTP server in parallel?  A snippet from the rule is below:
from snakemake.remote.FTP import RemoteProvider as FTPRemoteProvider
FTP = FTPRemoteProvider()

rule cram2bam:
    input:
        cram = lambda wildcards: FTP.remote(expand("ftp://ftp.sra.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/{cram}", cram = config['Samples'][wildcards.sample]['WES'])),

Outdoors and Sports Anne Spencer House & Garden Museum
Anne Spencer was a poet, a civil rights activist, a teacher, librarian, wife and mother, and a gardener. More than thirty of her poems were published in her lifetime, making her an important figure of the Harlem Renaissance and only the second African American poet to be included in the 'Norton Anthology of Modern Poetry' (1973). Spencer shared intellectual respect and repartee with such notables as James Weldon Johnson, who first discovered her poetic talents in 1919, Langston Hughes, W.E.B. DuBois, Countee Cullen, Zora Neal Hurston,George Washington Carver, Amaza Lee Meredith, Gwendolyn Brooks, and the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The home's current furnishings are almost identical to Anne Spencer's time there, and include her favorite magazines, bed linens, and toiletries. Reflected throughout the decor is Anne Spencer's love of color, which she used without hesitation and in unlikely combinations. The garden, which served as inspiration for much of Spencer's poetry, was restored in the 1980's and is open without charge from dawn until dusk everyday. The Garden Conservancy continues to provides preservation assistance to maintain garden. Also in the garden, is Spencer's writing cottage "Edankraal," a combination of the words "Edward," "Anne," and "kraal," the Afrikaans word for enclosure or corral.

BBC Documentary Shows Why Food Standards Must Be Upheld in Future Trade Deals, Says NFUS
SCOTLAND, UK - The four UK farming union Presidents have responded to the BBC's documentary "Meat: a threat to our planet?"
They said: "At no point did the documentary explain the vast differences between American meat production and UK production. This was a massive oversight considering the BBC's audience and would have left people with the impression that all meat is produced in the same way.
"We know the public want to eat sustainably and they can do this by investing in the UK livestock sector, which is already producing some of the most climate-friendly beef and lamb in the world and has an ambition to do even more. Beef production in the UK is already 2.5 times more efficient than the global average and 4 times more efficient than places which are deforesting land.
"Simply showing the environmental impact of beef production in North and South America does nothing to help people make informed choices about food which can be grown and reared in ways that offer benefits for the environment.
"For example, with the UK's climate, landscape and grass-based systems we have the means, and the ambition, to provide quality, nutritious meat in ways that not only protect the environment but help mitigate the world's impact on the climate.
"The documentary did, however, demonstrate the concerns UK farming has about future trade, and what we could expect to see on our supermarket shelves if the government were to allow food into the country which has been produced in ways that would be illegal here.
"If we are to maintain our values of environmental protection and animal welfare which are at the core of UK farming, and we know the public want to uphold, future trade deals must ensure all imports meet the standard required of UK farmers."

Mildred Blount (born 1907) was an American milliner noted for her creations for celebrities and people in high society.

Career
Blount's interest in millinery grew out of her time working at Madame Clair's Dress and Hat Shop in New York City. She and her sister, who was a dressmaker, opened their own dress and hat shop aimed at serving wealthy New Yorkers.

After Blount's designs were shown at the 1939 New York World's Fair,  her career took off. She was asked to design hats for the films Gone with the Wind and Easter Parade as well as for the cover of the August 1942 Ladies' Home Journal. Later in the 1940s, she ran a hat shop in Beverly Hills, California.
Her clients included Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Gloria Vanderbilt, Marian Anderson, and others.

She was the first African American member of the Motion Pictures Costumers Union, which allowed her to work in film studios.

Blount reportedly died in 1974 in Los Angeles, California.

Their hostility to religious liberty in general, and Catholic rights in particular, are well known. What is not widely known is that AARP is a member of this organization. Catholics take note.
We mustn't (and needn't!) lose hope for the Papacy, nor for the embattled individual who now holds it: →
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host, by the Power of God cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

I Fear the Worst about Pope Francis
J.B. TonerNovember 18, 20210
My darling wife Ellen is an editor for the Association of the United States Army, working closely with numerous senior officers, both active and retired, to help prepare their articles for publication. In the wake of President Biden's recent choice regarding our position in Afghanistan, Ellie has remarked more than once on the tact and solidarity of her contributing authors (men of unassailed integrity and moral courage, not disposed to sycophancy) in discussing what a more neutral observer might call a misstep on the part of our Commander in Chief; and I, who have struggled to be a worthy soldier of Christ, feel impelled to follow their example in speaking of our Supreme Pontiff. By that very token, however, I note striking parallels between Joseph and Francis—the latter's Chinese policy of radical appeasement, at the cost of torture and murder for the faithful there, springs to mind—and I'm haunted by the image of a Heaven-bound chariot ascending ever more swiftly as the clinging bodies of loyal supporters fall screaming from the wings.
I've just now read Fr. Wojciech Gołaski's open letter to His Holiness, proclaiming that in the wake of Traditionis Custodes, his recourse must be the Society of St. Pius X, which exists in what he describes (rather mildly) as "a state of controversy." I have the utmost sympathy and respect for the SSPX; I was brought to the Traditional Latin Mass by my wife, whose parents were married in the Society, and it was a sort of triumphal homecoming for both our families when my dad, the damp flotsam of preconciliar times (known here as Deacon Jim), and Ellie's brother, Canon Turner ICKSP, blessed us with an unabashedly orthodox TLM wedding. But it terrifies me to hear in Fr. Gołaski's words the initial rumble of what could all too easily become a geometrically accelerating tectonic fragmentation, shattering Simon Bar-Jonah's Pangaea into one-man islands and gulag archipelagos.Advertisement – Continue Reading Below
The saint whose name our Pontiff bears would have been aghast if his most rabid followers, the Fraticelli, had successfully formed a splinter-church, and I think we have to believe Pope St. Pius X would feel the same. In any case, it's all been done before: Martin Luther splintered away, and the splintering has never stopped. A mind-blasting 45,000 Protestant denominations now exist. God shield us from another such Deluge of endlessly ramifying diaspora! But what am I saying? God has shielded us, providing a supreme authority whose function is precisely to mediate the internal disputes that engender sectarian division and multiplication. The bitter irony, of course, is that Roman power was one of the very things that led to the break in the first place; and indeed, Fr. Golanski cites Francis' tacit assumption of Papal omnipotence as one of his insuperable objections to the Motu Proprio of 16 July.
Unlike the current Vicar of Christ, however, the Popes of Luther's time—Leo X, Adrian VI, Clement VII—were obliged to wield their powers in a largely military capacity, helping to defend Europe against the onslaught of Islamic hordes from the Ottoman Empire. If their influence stretched its rightful limits, it was in hopes of preserving the tradition of which they had been entrusted with custody. Pope Francis, on the other hand, has shown by perfectly clear signs—the honoring of heathen idols in the citadel of St. Peter, the Munich Pact-like "fraternity" document co-signed with the Muslim Grand Imam, the aforementioned Sino-Vatican collusion—that he prizes the camaraderie of openly anti-Catholic forces above the welfare of his own flock of souls, and his recent Apostolic Letter only serves to underscore the fact. From this, the difficult question arises: what, then, is his goal? To what end does he deploy the Petrine authority?
Dr. Kwasniewski, in his recent article "Clandestine Ordinations Against Church Law," briefly mentions the novel A Windswept House. This tale of Church intrigue, geopolitics, and spiritual warfare was described by its author, Jesuit priest Malachi Martin, as 95% nonfiction, only nominally veiled. The book's doggedly unidentified "Slavic Pope," obviously St. John Paul II, is depicted as hideously enmeshed in the razor wire of plots by bishops and Cardinals consciously toiling to place the Church at the service of materialistic pundits and world leaders for whom Christ's Mystical Body would be merely another useful tool. But, to a chosen few among the ecclesial hierarchy, the true objective (guided by the tenets and practices of Freemasonry) is to bring about the Reign of Antichrist on Earth. The late Fr. Martin, a highly experienced exorcist, did not speak lightly of these matters, and if the general public had comprehended his allegations, Windswept House would have been immeasurably more controversial than the tepid page-turners exuded by Dan Brown.
Back in March, I wrote an article ("Innominate Abomination") in which I mentioned how discouraging it was to hear that Pope Francis was working to suppress the TLM. At the time, 1P5edited my remark to the less accusatory phrase, "to hear rumors" that he was so employed. This was, of course, prior to his hand-tipping Motu Proprio, and it was the right decision to withhold judgment on a matter not yet settled. In the same spirit of doubt's benefit, and in view of my already tenuous resolution to speak respectfully of the Fisherman's office, I wish to make it clear that the following hypothesis is strictly conjectural, predicated on circumstantial evidence and extrapolations therefrom. That said—Advertisement – Continue Reading Below
In studying the Enemy's rhetoric, the most consistent feature I've observed has been that of flat-out, barely concealed self-contradiction. Thus, for instance, the pro-choice rationale argues from the premise that the female body is sacrosanct and concludes that, for that exact reason, it should receive bloody surgery to mutilate one of the very foundations of its sanctity. Thus, on college campuses, Christians must be silenced and vilified for their intolerance toward viewpoints which differ from their own. Thus the bygone figure of the American slave-owner typifies the hatefulness of that same European religion that so brutally oppressed the indigenous Aztec culture and its religious practice of cutting out the hearts of slaves. Now observe the words of Pope Francis. As Fr. Gołaski points out, he claims to "withdraw the faculty granted by his predecessors" in the name of unity, while self-evidently annihilating that unity by his own decree. He claims to find ratification in the decisions of St. Pius V, whose criteria were precisely the opposite of his own. He claims in Laudato Si that the disappearance of a culture is graver than the extinction of a species, yet bends his will to eradicating the selfsame culture that forms the beating heart of his own Church.
St. Paul states explicitly that "when the pagans offer sacrifice, it is received by demons" (1 Cor. 10:20). In 2019, Pope Francis quite publicly and undisguisedly offered prayers to the pagan entity Pachamama, reverently processing through the Basilica to enthrone it on the altar of God. That he has been in communion with demonic beings is therefore simply a fact, a matter of public record, undisputed. And every back-bent word of his "A is not A" elocution declares that he speaks not with the Mind of Christ but with the forked, self-masticating tongue of the Father of Lies. I'll say it more plainly yet: I believe Pope Francis to be in the possession of Satan. He has followed the road of the worst of popes before him—John XII, Julius II or Urban VIII.
Again, this view is my own. I offer it as the only solution to our generation's darkest mystery—"Why is he doing this to us?!"—that seems to fit all the known data. On this hypothesis, the schismatic breakup of the One True Faith is exactly what he seeks, and he is going about it in exactly the right way.
What to do with this conviction, I do not know. I hope to look back someday on my silly, disproven paranoia and revel in the gentle mockery of my brethren in Christ. Or I hope that, if Providence substantiates my belief, wiser persons than myself will have been forewarned before the crisis reaches a boil. We can trust that God is in control, because just as John XII toasted Satan and trafficked in devils, yet God preserved His Church at that time, so too He will deliver us again in our own day.Advertisement – Continue Reading Below
It's crucial to remember that Despair is the Enemy's greatest weapon, closing us off from the aid of the Holy Ghost. We mustn't (and needn't!) lose hope for the Papacy, nor for the embattled individual who now holds it: our turning our backs on Francis and the Church is precisely what the Devil wants, but Christ has harrowed out those legions before and will again. This isn't a theological clash but a family crisis; that misled shepherd on the Throne is our papa, and he needs us. I wish I had some powerful new deliverance prayer to offer, but I haven't been given such a weapon. If you, friend, care to join me in my own frail personal devotion, it's merely this: throughout the day, whenever I touch my keys, I'm reminded to offer up a prayer to St. Michael for the man who carries the Keys of the Most Precious Blood:
