Q: Injectind Implementation automatically on runtime over CDI I am trying to figure out CDI and the best method that suits my needs.
I have an service(TcpServiceImpl) that interacts with plain tcp communication. Now this service has some points where it needs to inform somebody that something happened. For this informations I have the Interface TcpConnection which needs to be CDI injected to the correct implementation. Another problem is that the service TcpServiceImpl itself is injected in a job (TcpConnectionJob) that executes periodically and calls the service to do things.
This means that the service TcpServiceImpl will exist multiple times. Each having another tcp connection it handles and having another device that needs another driver/protocol to be injected in the Interface TcpConnection.
Let me show the three Elements taking part in this scenario:
Here is the Interface that will get multiple implementations:
public interface TcpConnection
{

  /**
   * Connected.
   *
   * @throws NGException the NG exception
   */
  public void connected() throws NGException;

  /**
   * This method will send the received data from the InputStream of the connection.
   *
   * @param data the received data
   * @throws NGException the  NG exception
   */
  public void received( byte[] data ) throws NGException;

  /**
   * Usable for the protocol to send data to the device.
   *
   * @param data the data to send to the device ( Will be converted to byte[] with getBytes() )
   * @throws NGException the  NG exception
   */
  public void send( String data ) throws NGException;

  /**
   * Usable for the protocol to send data to the device.
   *
   * @param data the data to send to the device ( Will be send as is )
   * @throws NGException the NG exception
   */
  public void send( byte[] data ) throws NGException;

  /**
   * This method will inform the protocol that the connection got closed.
   *
   * @throws NGException the NG exception
   */
  public void closed() throws NGException;
}

Also here is a example snippet of when this will be called in my existing service:
public class TCPServiceImpl implements TCPService, Runnable
{
/** The callback. */
private TcpConnection callback;
private void disconnect()
{
  connection.disconnect();
  if ( !getStatus( jndiName ).equals( ConnectionStatus.FAILURE ) )
  {
     setStatus( ConnectionStatus.CLOSED );
  }
  /* TODO: Tell driver connection is closed! */
  callback.closed();
}
}

Below is the class that calls the service,which then needs to dynamically inject the correct implementation for the interface.
public class TcpConnectionJob implements JobRunnable
{
  /** The service. */
  private TCPService service;

  public void execute()
  {
    service.checkConnection( connection );
  }
}

The service injection callback has to be linked to the implementation of the correct "protocol" or "driver" that will translate the data or handle the logic for the device. There will be multiple driver implementations of the interface acting different and I need to inject the correct one. A qualifier for this decision could be the name of the device. Now I looked at the following links:
Understanding the necessity of type Safety in CDI
How to programmatically lookup and inject a CDI managed bean where the qualifier contains the name of a class
How to use CDI qualifiers with multiple class implementations?
Question:
But I am still unsure about which way/method to use and what is the correct way. Any help would be appreciated.
My first thought was about copying my interface to an Qualifier Interface and appending this one with the possibility to enter the qualifier. Is that a good idea?

A: Use CDI events and do not obther with callbacks. Some resources:
https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/tutorial/cdi-adv005.htm
http://www.adam-bien.com/roller/abien/entry/java_ee_6_observer_with
http://www.next-presso.com/2014/06/you-think-you-know-everything-about-cdi-events-think-again/

A: So this is my solution I came up with. The only problem now is to get a callback to work, but that's something different. Heres the solution that worked for me:
/**
 * The Qualifier interface TcpDriver. The value of this annotation is the name the implementation
 * is found under. Please only enter values that are configured in the wildfly config as the name of
 * the device.
 */
@Documented
@Qualifier
@Retention( RUNTIME )
@Target( { TYPE, FIELD, METHOD, PARAMETER } )
public @interface TcpDriver
{

  /**
   * Value.
   *
   * @return the string
   */
  String value();
}

The default Implementation just for the Qualifier interface:
/**
 * The Class TcpDriverImpl.
 */
public class TcpDriverImpl extends AnnotationLiteral<TcpDriver> implements TcpDriver
{

  /** The Constant serialVersionUID. */
  private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

  /** The name. */
  private final String name;

  /**
   * Instantiates a new tcp driver impl.
   *
   * @param name the name
   */
  public TcpDriverImpl( final String name )
  {
    this.name = name;
  }

  /** {@inheritDoc} */
  @Override
  public String value()
  {
    return name;
  }

}

Now a test implementation to test it:
@TcpDriver( "terminal1" )
@Dependent
public class TestDriverImpl implements TcpConnection
{

  /** The log. */
  private Log log;

  @Inject
  public void init( Log log )
  {
    this.log = log;
  }

  @Override
  public void connected() throws NGException
  {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    log.info( "IT WORKS!!" );
  }

  @Override
  public void received( byte[] data ) throws NGException
  {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

  }

  @Override
  public void send( String data ) throws NGException
  {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

  }

  @Override
  public void send( byte[] data ) throws NGException
  {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub

  }

  @Override
  public void closed() throws NGException
  {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    log.info( "BYE BYE" );
  }

}
Last but not least, the way I injected all this in my service:
  /** The callback Instance for the driver to find. */
  @Inject
  @Any
  private Instance<TcpConnection> callback;

  private TcpConnection driver;
  /**
  * Inject driver.
  */
  private void injectDriver()
  {
    final TcpDriver driver = new TcpDriverImpl( name );
    this.driver = callback.select( driver ).get();
  }

I hope this helps somebody having the same requirements I had.
PS: A little log to show it works if you check the log outputs in the test implementation and then look at the log :)

Asian Voice > News > UK > London > 1984 Anti-Sikh Pogroms Remembered on 30th Anniversary
1984 Anti-Sikh Pogroms Remembered on 30th Anniversary
Tuesday 23rd September 2014 11:56 EDT
Lord Indarjit Singh CBE
The genocidal pogroms against the Sikh people in India in November 1984 left thousands dead. In many of the outer areas of the capital, New Delhi, whole neighbourhoods were wiped out. Women were raped in large numbers. Senior politicians of the Congress (I) party led mobs, assisted by the police and administration. Thirty years on no memorials exist to the dead and the perpetrators continue to enjoy complete impunity. But the silence is slowly breaking. Not just about the damage caused to the justice system, memory and language in India, but also about the individual and collective trauma that exists within Sikh communities across the world.
Marking the 30th anniversary of the November 1984 anti-Sikh pogroms, the Wiener Library in London (Russell Square) is proud to feature the work 1984: Jis tann lãgé soee jãné by photographer Gauri Gill. The images and texts from the artist's 1984 notebooks reflect upon the pogroms and their ongoing impact in India. The images are from the resettlement colonies of Trilokpuri, Tilak Vihar and Garhi - various sites across Delhi - as well as protest rallies in the city. The accompanying texts by leading artists, poets, filmmakers and writers from Delhi remark upon the event, via the images, in thoughtful ways.
The exhibition also contains photographs of the pogrom as it occurred in November 1984 itself, and are drawn from the work of Indian photographers, Ashok Vahie, Ram Rahman and Sondeep Shankar.
Contributors to this project include contemporary Indian artist Arpana Caur; Senior Advocate and Human Rights activist, Harvinder Singh Phoolka, academic Dr Navsharan Singh; eminent historian Dr Uma Chakravarti; prizewinning Canadian author Jaspreet Singh and Parvinder Singh of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ).
The event, held in partnership with the National Union of Journalists, will take the form of a panel discussion chaired by Wiener Library trustee Philip Spencer featuring Lord Indarjit Singh CBE, human rights barrister Schona Jolly and Parvinder Singh of the NUJ.
Professor Spencer is Director of the Helen Bamber Centre for the Study of Rights, Conflict and Mass Violence at Kingston University. His most recent book, Genocide since 1945 (Routledge, 2012) traces the history of genocide since the Holocaust looking at a number of cases across continents and decades.
Lord Indarjit Singh CBE is Director of the Network of Sikh Organisations UK, Vice Chair and Founder of the InterFaith Network UK. He is also Head and Co-Ordinator of the Sikh Chaplaincy Services. He is a member of the House of Lords, editor of the Sikh Messenger, presenter of 'Thought for the Day' on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 2's 'Pause for Thought'.
Schona Jolly is a writer, journalist and a barrister specialising in human rights and equality law. She is from London, but has lived and worked in a number of countries, including India. She is particularly interested in South Asian affairs and writes for a number of international publications on India. She is an executive committee member of the Bar Human Rights Committee.

Stoneywood Dyce Cricket Club
Grade XI
Div1 XI
Stoneywood Dyce Cricket Club History
Stoneywood Cricket Club and Dyce Cricket Club merged in 1991. When the two clubs came together, they fielded teams in Grades One and Four of the Grades but had let their respective junior sections drift into a state of disrepair. In 1994 the club entered the Strathmore and Perthshire Union and won it in both 1996 and 1997 with the latter triumph being followed by success in a play-off to enter the Scottish National Cricket Leagues. A successful 1998 saw the club reach the dizzy heights of the SNCL Premier League for 1999 but that proved a step too far. Following a reorganization of the SNCL in 2004 the club's 1st XI now plies its trade in the Eastern Premier League which is the highest tier in Scottish cricket. We also have a Grade XI in Grade One of the Aberdeenshire Cricket Association and a Div1 XI in the Strathmore and Perthshire Cricket Union Division 1.
Alongside the progress by the senior sides has been the creation of a vibrant junior section. Led by Jan Stander, an ECB Level 3 coach, this involves coaching in the local Primary Schools to generate the conveyor belt of players for the future, running age-group sides at U11, U13, U15 and U18s as well as actively contributing to the Aberdeen City/Shire Cricket Development Group through the provision of support from within the club's volunteer administrators and coaches. We also run a very successfully AllStars programme aimed at 5-8 year olds which has around 50 kids participating every week! This is ran alongside junior training on a Friday night at the club.
The club has had remarkable success at Junior Representative Levels since Stuart Coetzer was the first to make the breakthrough into the Scotland U13 side in 1995. Further evidence of the club's success and of the commitment of it's youngsters came when Kyle Coetzer joined the Academy at Durham County Cricket Club in 2003 and made his senior debut for Scotland, Kyle went on to make his First Class debut for Durham in 2004 and was followed into the Scotland side by Gordon Goudie then older brother Stuart Coetzer. Gordon joined the MCC Young Cricketers set up in 2005 and played for Middlesex CCC 2nd XI in 2006. Also add Scott Redhead joining the Durham Academy in 2007, the appointment in 2008 of Fiona Urquhart as captain of the Scotland Ladies side and Michael Leask making his debut for Scotland in 2014. All of these players benefited from the sound cricket structure at SDCC to take their first steps on their cricketing journey. To this day the club still produces players of an International standard. Ewan Davidson and Ross Kennard are both home grown talents and have represented Scotland at u19 and u17 level respectively. We also have a fantastic record for having players in the Caledonian Highlanders regional team at various different levels, ranging from Stuart Lister and Jack Lambley at u16s all the way to Jamie King and 1st XI skipper Jack Mitchell in the full team. The club is incredibly proud of the talent it has produced and continues to produce!
New members for all teams and age-groups are always welcome. To request more information please get in touch using the Contact Us page, or just come along to one of the training sessions.

Over a year ago, (I can't believe my niece is about to be a year old!!), my sister in law asked me to help her with my niece's nursery. Grace pretty much already knew what she wanted - neutral, nothing too girlie, yet very sweet - and I think we hit the nail on the head with this one. It's simple, clean, a little rustic & has the perfect feminine touch. I love her little room so much.
All the other items were found at local antique stores. And the crib was handed down from my other sister in law & it's from Pottery Barn.

Home Perspectives Jewish Weekly slaps ban on Kasrils
Jewish Weekly slaps ban on Kasrils
Iqbal Jassat
South African Minister of Intelligence, Ronnie Kasrils has been refused a right of reply to criticism of his anti-Israel stance by a local Jewish paper.
In defence of its decision to slap a ban on Kasrils' response to an attack on his well known position of solidarity with Palestinian victims of Israeli policies, the Jewish Report editorial claims that "some of his statements were so offensive to the sensibilities of the majority of our readers that they would not contribute to constructive debate, but would simply give deep offence".
The so-called "offensive" statements refer to "comparing Israel with the Nazis" and "other comments in that vein", according to the editor.
Censorship of this type –" reminiscent of apartheid era bannings –" is in direct violation of South Africa's constitutional protection of free speech and the hard-fought for media liberties, central to freedom of expression.
Paradoxically, the right to criticize and abuse a senior Cabinet Minister such as Kasrils in the columns of the Jewish Report seems perfectly acceptable, while his legitimate right of reply is denied.
Indeed, in an earlier column, [Jewish Report, October 20] Judge Dennis Davis questioned such inconsistencies when he lambasted those who prevented one of the most distinguished Jewish intellectuals in this country, Steven Friedman "from publishing a column in this newspaper…."
"Freedom of speech and adherence to listening to the other side are principles that cut both ways" is the view of Davis who went on to ask whether those who protested against the SABC decision not to use Paula Slier, would also defend Robert Fisk's right to broadcast if he was similarly excluded?
Well, thus far indications are that Fisk has not been barred by the public broadcaster. But Kasrils' opinions have been banned in the Jewish Report whose Board of directors includes Issie Kirsh, Stan Kaplan, Bertie Lubner and Marlene Bethlehem.
One wonders how this illustrious group, whose editorial committee is chaired by Judge Meyer Joffe, would respond to the earlier remarks by Davis regarding the SABC: "….to silence a voice is a disgraceful breach of standards of speech….."
This latest controversy follows an op-ed by Anthony Posner titled "Some pertinent questions to Kasrils", in which he challenged the Minister of Intelligence to respond to a number of questions.
However, despite an assurance by the editor of Jewish Report that Kasrils will be accorded an opportunity to have his response published in the form of an op-ed, he obviously got cold feet and refused to honour his undertaking.
Instead of allowing Kasrils to explain himself, the paper's editorial sought to justify its decision to ban the Minister's response by unfairly distorting it. It appears that silencing Kasrils was not enough. It was necessary to malign him as well. Implying that Kasrils is a "Holocaust denier" and therefore incapable of "rational debate", is insulting and way off the mark.
The most outrageous charge leveled against Kasrils is that his response to Posner may constitute "hate speech"!
By withholding his text from the pages of the Jewish Report, the editor has unfairly abused his own column to smear Kasrils, thus lending undue credence to the vitriol associated with a flurry of angry anti-Kasrils letter writers.
This strange media practice not only belongs to the era of apartheid censorship; it also entrenches a perception that the Jewish Report's espousal of press freedom is hollow and inconsistent.
The victimization of Kasrils, first by the Goethe Institute at the behest of the Jewish Board of Deputies and now by the Jewish Report, is a glaring reminder of the urgent need by journalists and media practitioners to assess their commitment to press freedom especially if the subject is Israel.

Many investors view the mobile gaming sector as being overly hit-driven, unsustainable and niche. We would hate to burst their bubble but they couldn't be further from the truth. In terms of revenue generated on an annual basis, the mobile gaming industry has surpassed both the PC and Console gaming industry. And, we believe that the gap will only increase in the future. After all, almost everyone owns a smartphone/tablet these days and it is highly likely that they have games installed on their devices.
Although mobile games currently don't enjoy the same enthusiasm or the same fandom as other popular console games such as Call of Duty or the FIFA series, we are certain that the developers will be able to create mobile games that will give the aforementioned popular games a run for their money in the future.
So, why are we highly optimistic about the progress and development of mobile gaming? Well, let us tell you why! Here are the top 3 up and coming trends in mobile gaming! Visit the site, touchtapplay.com, for more information on mobile apps and games.
The massive success and popularity of games such as Clash Royale, Hearthstone, and Vainglory have made it possible for mobile games to strike it big in the world of e-sports. There is no doubt that the creators of mobile games have taken cues from the scope of the aforementioned games and have started developing games for mobile from the ground up. There are mobile games centered around multiplayer in the market already and we believe that the market will only keep increasing.
The concept of virtual reality is not new at all. But, the concept hasn´t been properly incorporated into mobile games yet. However, with the invention of numerous VR technologies such as Oculus Rift, Google Cardboard, Gear VR, and HTC Vive, it is now possible for you to transform your smartphone into a VR-empowered device. In the near future, the inclusion of VR experience in mobile games will no longer be uncommon. In fact, there is already a VR mobile game named, Hidden Temple VR Adventure, in the market. The game offers an interesting full 360-degree view! The humongous success of Pokémon Go has also helped pave the way for the incorporation of augmented reality in games.
We can't deny the deep social engagement within apps and mobile games these days. However, we wouldn't be surprised to witness the engagement in a more extreme incarnation in the near future. Game developers are already working round the clock to create real-time, immersive player-v-player gaming experience. In fact, games like Clash Royale and Clash of Clans are already following the trend to a certain extent.

Lord, Save Us From Your Followers: 'The Keepers' and the Dark side of Christianity
June 4, 2017 by Chris Williams
Lord, Save Us From Your Followers: 'The Keepers' and the Dark side of Christianity June 4, 2017 Chris Williams
Few shows have provoked as much rage in me as Netflix's "The Keepers."
I started watching Netflix's seven-part docuseries on Labor Day and finished it this past weekend. As a fan of true-crime podcasts and television shows, I found myself riveted by each part of this murder mystery, but also chilled and enraged at its depiction of Christianity perverted by lust and power. It's essential viewing, but it's not for the weak at heart.
Righting the wrongs of "Making a Murderer"
"The Keepers" is an attempt to solve the 1969 murder of a Baltimore nun. Sister Cathy Cesnik was a 26-year-old teacher who disappeared one night while out getting an engagement gift for her sister. Her body was found in the woods two months later. More than 40 years on, no one has been arrested or charged, and Sister Cathy's story is one of the city's most notorious cold cases.
In the 1990s, the case was reopened when a woman came forward with allegations of horrendous sexual abuse at the hands of the priest who oversaw the school. Even more shocking, the woman — who had repressed the memories for much of her life — claimed that the priest had taken her to the woods to view the nun's body as a warning. Baltimore police re-opened the case and the woman sued the Baltimore archdiocese, but still, no arrests were made. "The Keepers" follows two women who have organized their own amateur investigation, aided by freelance journalists and a Facebook crowd that's eager to provide whatever assistance they can. Over the course of seven episodes, "The Keepers" takes us through every nook and cranny of this case. And if it doesn't give us enough information to have closure or certainty, it unfolds with enough theories and evidence to help us formulate our own idea of what might have happened that night.
This isn't Netflix's first foray into true-crime documentaries. Nearly two years ago, the outlet released "Making a Murderer," a docuseries that looked into the story of a man who went to jail for a crime he may not have committed. Like many others, I was addicted to "Making a Murderer" and the plight of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, whom the series argued were railroaded by corrupt cops. I devoured the show in just three days, enraged by what I saw as a travesty of justice. Unfortunately, the more I let it sit, the more I was troubled by "Making a Murderer's" one-sided approach to the story and the way that the show glossed over or even refused to acknowledge evidence that would cast Avery's tale in a completely different light.
"The Keepers" is just as riveting as "Making a Murderer," with each episode delivering shocking revelations and ending on notes that make it impossible not to start the next episode immediately. The first episode details Sister Cathy's disappearance and the discovery of her body, and the next few episodes jump back and forth between the grassroots investigation and the stories of nightmarish abuse alleged to have taken place at Bishop Keough High School. Quickly, a story of abuse and possible cover-up by the Catholic Church appears, mixed in with asides about repressed memories, post-traumatic stress disorder, and the legal complexity of going up against the Church. Witnesses are doubted, new suspects are revealed, documents go missing and we begin to piece together what might have happened even as we get the sinking feeling that there will not be a resolution. It has the drama of television's best crime shows, underscored with the soberness and horror of nonfiction.
Where "Making a Murderer" was often lurid, tawdry and trashy, "The Keepers" is respectful and humane. Where the former show often became more obsessed with proving the innocence of Avery and Dassey, "The Keepers" never loses sight of the warm, charismatic woman whose death set this whole story into motion. Many of the subjects interviewed were students of Sister Cathy's, and they speak of her with fondness; when we meet her sister late in the series, she's as lively and warm as we'd expect. Meanwhile, because the series' villain, Father Joseph Maskell, is not only a suspect in Cathy's disappearance but also the subject of abuse in dozens of cases, the series never bothers about tip-toeing around allegations about him (it also helps that Maskell died years ago). And when the story is getting unbearably sad, it pauses to take in the two cheerful amateur sleuths trying to solve the case or revel in the heroism of a woman who had the strength to come forward and confront her abusers. It's compelling TV, but it's also incredibly human, never letting us forget that this story had victims who are still alive and healing from their ordeals.
It's also a more comprehensive program than "Making a Murderer," following up on suspects and admitting when its investigators hit a dead end. The series doesn't shy away from confrontations; there's an interview with a potential subject late in the film that had me holding my breath. But even these scenes are tinged less with suspense than sadness; by now the suspect is an old, tired and confused man. What makes "The Keepers" so compelling comes not from the lurid nature of its crime but from the constant reminders that the window to solve it is quickly closing. Sister Cathy disappeared in 1969; nearly 50 years later, those involved have either died or are reaching the ends of their lives. The victims have had to live with their nightmares for decades. The film constantly ping-pongs back and forth between pictures of the abused teens in their youth to them as middle-aged adults, reflecting on the scars they've had to carry for years. "The Keepers" is powerful because it's a reminder of the lingering pain of abuse and aching, mournful voids that don't close with time.
But beyond that, there's a spiritual element to "The Keepers" that kept me riveted to the screen, mulling over questions that I wish I never had to ask.
Lord, Save Us From Your Followers
Much of the series is centered on Jean Wehner, the Jane Doe in the court suits against Father Maskell and the archdiocese. In 1992, memories of abuse that Jean had repressed for nearly thirty years came to flooding back to her, prompting the lawsuit and the reopening of the Sister Cathy's murder. Jean wasn't the only person to suffer abuse by Maskell and several others, but she was the first to come forward. The allegations are sickening. The way the priests at Bishop Keough abused their positions, their parishoners' trust, and sacred elements like Confession is horrendous. Jean goes into graphic detail about the abuse, something that is never lurid but rightfully nightmarish. I found myself balling my hands into fists and I had to watch an episode of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" just to calm myself down.
"The Keepers" is far from the first movie, television series or documentary to detail sexual abuse at the hands of Catholic priests. We're exhausted by these stories now; they sadly carry the note of cliche. Almost as infuriating as the abuse is the cover up by the church itself, using lawyers to harass and badger victims, exchanging money to keep things quiet, and rotating accused priests to health clinics and other parishes in lieu of legal punishment. It's sickening and evil, antithetical toward the love, compassion, kindness and commitment to truth that should be indicative of Christians. It's behavior for which the phrase "Lord, save us from your followers" was invented.
And let's be frank: It's not limited to the Catholic church. Yes, that's where it gets the most press, and I'd argue that a theological system that requires a life of celibacy, coupled by a hierarchy that easily breeds power and corruption, make it a susceptible breeding ground for crimes like these. But abuse like this, along with other sins that are covered up, occur in nearly every church.
I know this because I've seen this. I've attended churches where sexual sin is kept quiet and dealt with in the shadows, too often with a slap on the wrist. I've had a man I attended Sunday School with revealed to have possessed child pornography; he left shortly after, but no warnings were sent out to the congregations, no heads-up that this man who was a friend to many young people in the church was in possession of such vile materials. I once learned that a good friend of mine, a youth pastor at the church I attended, was romantically involved with a student in his charge. I brought my concerns to the pastor. I was informed to trust him; that the church would handle it. It went on for years and that youth pastor was at the church longer than I was.
Why do these cover-ups happen? Why do churches keep things quiet instead of being transparent? Why do they hide sin and shut up victims instead of punishing sin and showing compassion?
A telling answer comes late in "The Keepers." A friend of Father Maskell's recalls visiting him late in his life and confronting him with these allegations, asking him why he never came forward or said anything. His answer? It would be harmful to the church if he did.
Too often, we Christians are quick to protect the institution of the Church instead of caring for the members of it. We worry that if the sin of our leaders is revealed, the Church will collapse. If we're transparent with sin, it will harm our witness. If our hypocrisy is seen, the church will have no power in the culture. Those are understandable fears, but they're ones that reveal the way we can so easily turn institutions into idols. If we're concerned with maintaining power in the church or making the church an institutional force instead of a body of members who need each other, we're already losing our witness. It's been said before that the church is not a museum for saints but a hospital for sinners. I think it also needs to be said that the church is not a business whose infrastructure needs protected at all costs; it's a village where we need to be loving, protecting and caring for one another. And that sometimes means protecting each other against others in the village.
"The Keepers" is one of the best television programs I've watched in a year of great TV. For true-crime fans, it offers a mystery that is by turns infuriating and confounding. For lovers of drama, there's a human element that is heartbreaking, coupled with heroism that inspires. But for the soul, it confronts us with tough questions and asks us to consider our roles in protecting and caring for each other.

How can humans walk on water?
Technically speaking, walking over pure water isn't possible. The only way it can be done is by converting it to a high density fluid or one with high viscosity. Also, if you think you can run at 108 km/hr (30 m/s), then you'll have the ability to run across water.
How can small insects walk on the surface of water?
Due to the weight of the insect the membrane is depressed. Now the surface tension acts in an inclined manner. the vertical component of the surface tension balances the weight of the insect. Hence insect is able to walk on the surface of water.
How can you increase the surface tension of water?
To increase the surface tension of water, you'd have to add something to water, in which case, it would no longer be pure water. By adding something more polar than water to water, the surface tension would increase (just as doing the opposite decreases surface tension).
How can you prevent hydrophobic interactions?
Organic solvents commonly used to weaken, or disrupt hydrophobic interactions include glycols, acetonitrile and alcohols. The organic solvents alter the polarity of the mobile phase, thereby weakening potential interactions that may occur.
How can you reduce the surface tension of water?
Some liquids such as oil and kerosene can destroy surface tension in water. Adding soap or detergent reduces surface tension in water. Increasing the temperature of the liquid reduces surface tension.
How did jesus walk on water science?
Combining evidence of a cold snap 2,000 years ago with sophisticated mapping of the Sea of Galilee, Israeli and U.S. scientists have come up with a scientific explanation of how Jesus could have walked on water. Their answer: It was actually floating ice.
How do bugs walk on water?
Answer 1: The weight of the insect and structure of their feet in combination with the surface tension of water allow some insects to walk on water. Water molecules are more attracted to each other than they are to other materials, so they generate a force to stay together called surface tension.
How do diving beetles get in my pool?
As a general rule, beetles are attracted to swimming pools in search of food and warm pool water. To prevent beetles from getting into your pool, you should keep your pool clean of debris, use a pool cover when it's not in use, maintain proper chlorine levels and keep plants away from your swimming pool.
How do hydrophobic interactions work?
The hydrophobic effect describes the energetic preference of nonpolar molecular surfaces to interact with other nonpolar molecular surfaces and thereby to displace water molecules from the interacting surfaces. The hydrophobic effect is due to both enthalpic and entropic effects.
How do insects such as pond skaters stay afloat?
They stay afloat thanks to their small weight and the surface tension of water acting like a skin; however, according to Newton's third law of motion, the pond skater must push against something to move forward, which is fairly tricky when the only thing available is water.
How do insects such as pond skaters stay or float on water?
Water striders are small insects that are adapted for life on top of still water, using surface tension to their advantage so they can "walk on water." … By repelling water, the tiny water striders stand on the water's surface and the captured airs allows them to float and move easily.
How do insects walk on water quizlet?
why are some insects able to walk on water ? surface tension due to hydrogen bond creates a thin film on the surface of water that gives enough resistance for insects to walk on. … because hydrogen bonds are not strong enough to hold us up.
How do insects walk?
Through the contraction and relaxation of thoracic muscles attached to the base of the leg and the cuticle, insects may walk. First of all, these muscles act on the base of the leg, and the contraction is then transmitted through the leg through the internal leg muscles, causing the leg to stretch or flex.
How do other insects keep from sinking in the water?
They take advantage of a property called surface tension to stay above the water and not sink. The force they exert downward is less than the forces exerted among the water molecules on the surface of the pond, so the insect does not penetrate beneath the surface of the water.
How do some insects walk on water?
The weight of the insect and structure of their feet in combination with the surface tension of water allow some insects to walk on water. Water molecules are more attracted to each other than they are to other materials, so they generate a force to stay together called surface tension.
How do water skaters walk on water?
How do you avoid air bubbles in column chromatography?
Prevent large air bubbles from being drawn down into a column resin bed by always removing the column's top cap before the bottom cap and replacing the bottom cap before the top cap.
How do you break the surface tension of water?
However, the surface tension of water can be broken by adding certain substances such as detergents. Soaps and detergents are useful for cleaning because when they break water's surface tension, they are able to spread out onto dirty surfaces and soak into laundry, breaking up dirt and oil.
How do you change surface tension?
Chemical Additions The effect of adding an unrelated chemical to a substance, and thereby changing its surface tension, is demonstrated by the example of putting soap (a surfactant) in water to reduce the surface tension, which allows the dirt on your hands to more easily mix with the water.
How do you demonstrate surface tension of water?
Fill a bowl with water. Shake the black pepper onto the surface of the water (Notice how it stays afloat on the water? That is the surface tension holding the layer up) Take a toothpick and put the end into soap so that it coats the end.
How do you stop water striders?
Water striders and other bugs are drawn to bright lights, so by using low-wattage light bulbs, you will help keep water striders away. Spray existing water striders with soapy water. Mix ½ tbsp. liquid soap with 1 cup water in a spray bottle and spray the bugs.

Symantec's Woes Expose the Antivirus Industry's Security Gaps
Kim Zetter
Vulnerabilities revealed this week show how security software can not only fail to protect us, but also create new attack holes in systems.
This week, Google security researcher Tavis Ormandy announced that he'd found numerous critical vulnerabilities in Symantec's entire suite of anti-virus products. That's 17 Symantec enterprise products in all, and eight Norton consumer and small-business products. The worst thing about Symantec's woes? They're just the latest in a long string of serious vulnerabilities uncovered in security software.
Some of Symantec's flaws are basic, and should have been caught by the company during code development and review. But others are far more serious, and would allow an attacker to gain remote-code execution on a machine, a hacker's dream. One particularly devastating flaw could be exploited with a worm. Just by "emailing a file to a victim or sending them a link to an exploit ... the victim does not need to open the file or interact with it in anyway," Ormandy wrote in a blog post Tuesday, further noting that such an attack could "easily compromise an entire enterprise fleet."
It gets worse. The flaw exists in an unpacker Symantec uses to examine compressed executable files it thinks might be malicious. So the vulnerability would let attackers subvert the unpacker to take control of a victim's machine. Essentially, a core component Symantec uses to detect malware could be used by intruders to aid their assault.
"These vulnerabilities are as bad as it gets," Ormandy wrote. He would know. Ormandy has previously discovered serious flaws in products belonging to a string of high-profile security shops like FireEye, Kaspersky Lab, McAfee, Sophos, and Trend Micro. In some cases, the flaws only allowed an attacker to bypass antivirus scanners or undermine the integrity of detection systems. But in others, like this Symantec scenario, they turned the security software into an attack vector for intruders to seize control of a victim's system.
This isn't the way it's supposed to be. Security software tasked with protecting our critical systems and data shouldn't also be the biggest vulnerability and liability present in those systems. Ormandy has criticized the antivirus industry for years for failing to secure its own software, and for failing to open their code to security professionals to audit for vulnerabilities.
It's a serious problem, though it's unclear how actively hackers exploit these vulnerabilities. "[W]e don't have perfect visibility into what attackers are doing," Ormandy wrote in an email to WIRED. "We do have good evidence that antivirus exploits are bought and sold on the black and grey markets, but we rarely find out what the buyers use them for."
Computing's Soft Underbelly
Security software is an ideal target for attackers because it's trusted code that operates with high levels of privilege on machines, giving attackers a great advantage if they can subvert it. In many cases, the same software can be running on every desktop or laptop machine on an organization's network, exposing a large attack surface to compromise if the software contains vulnerabilities. And that's just antivirus code. Other security software, such as intrusion detection systems and firewalls, are even juicier targets, says Chris Wysopal, CTO of Veracode. They're in a prime spot on an organization's network, connecting to a lot of important machines, and accessing most of the data traffic that crosses it.
Because of this, Wysopal says that security vendors should be held to a higher standard than the makers of other software. Yet aside from Ormandy, few security researchers have examined these systems for vulnerabilities. They've focused instead on finding vulnerabilities in operating system software and applications, while ignoring the software that purports to keep us secure.
Wysopal suggests security researchers may overlook security software because they're too close to the problem. Many in this line of work are employed by other security firms, he says, "and they're not going to attack their own. Maybe it doesn't look good for a Symantec researcher to be publishing a flaw in McAfee."
Ormandy says it's more likely a matter of skill sets. Most security professionals employed by companies reverse-engineer malware, not dig through code for vulnerabilities.
"I think the set of skills needed to understand vulnerabilities is entirely different than the skills and training necessary to analyze malware---even though they're both considered security disciplines," he told WIRED. "So, it's entirely possible to be a competent malware analyst without understanding secure development."
That still doesn't explain why the security firms who put out the flawed products Ormandy exposed haven't given their products more scrutiny themselves.
Wysopal, whose company performs static analysis of software code to uncover vulnerabilities, attributes the lapses to security firms hiring developers that have no special training in writing secure code.
"There's this assumption that if you work at a security software company, you must know a lot about security, and it's just not true," he says. "Security software companies aren't getting specially trained developers that know about good coding [or are] better at preventing buffer overflows than your average engineer."
Another issue is the language in which security software is written. Much of it, Wysopal notes, is written in C and C++---programming languages that are more prone to common vulnerabilities like buffer overflows and integer overflows. Companies use them because the security software has to interact with operating systems that are written in the same languages. Security software also performs complex parsing of files and other operations, which can make writing it more difficult and more prone to error.
Those restrictions and complications shouldn't let security firms off the hook, Wysopal says.
"If you have to use a riskier language, that would mean you're going to have to spend more time on testing and code review to get it right," he says. Fuzzing, for example, is an automated technique used by both security researchers and attackers to find vulnerabilities in software. But the security firms Ormandy has exposed don't appear to have fuzzed their code to uncover flaws.
"Sometimes you look at a bug and there's no way an automated tool could have found this; someone would have to really pore over code intensely [to find it]," says Wysopal. "But a lot of these issues could have been found with automated fuzzing, and it's not clear why those weren't found [by the companies on their own]."
In some cases the security software in question may be legacy code written years ago when fuzzing and other modern techniques for uncovering vulnerabilities weren't used. But Wysopal says now that such techniques are available, companies should use them to review old code. "Once new testing tools come out that security researchers use and attackers use, you have to start using those tools too," he says. "It doesn't matter if it's just an old code base that you wrote or you acquired, you can't let your security process remain stagnant."
But Ormandy says the problems with security software go beyond merely lapses in coding and code review. He says many of these programs are insecure by design.
"I think the problem is that antivirus vendors have rarely adopted the principle of least privilege, [which] refers to limiting privilege to the highest-risk portions of software functionality so that if something goes wrong the whole system isn't necessarily compromised," Ormandy says.
Unfortunately, antivirus scanners need to have high privileges in order to insert themselves into every part of the system and see what documents you're opening, what's in the emails you receive, and what web pages you're visiting, he says. "[F]etching that information is a small and tractable problem, but they don't just fetch it and pass it to an unprivileged process to analyze---they do everything at the same privilege level."
To its credit, Symantec promptly fixed the vulnerabilities Ormandy uncovered, and produced automated patches for customers to apply in cases where that was feasible. But this doesn't mean its software is now error-free.
Wysopal says for security companies like Symantec to regain the trust of customers, they have to do more than just release patches. They have to commit to changing the way they operate.
When Target suffered a massive breach in 2013, Wysopal says "we saw other big retailers say we're going to be next, so let's understand what Target could have done to prevent this and let's do that too. I don't really see that so far with security vendors, and I'm not quite sure why."
Ormandy says he has spoken with some of these vendors who have committed to hiring external consultants to help them improve the security of their code going forward. "[T]hey simply didn't understand they had a problem until it was pointed out to them." Which may be the biggest problem of all.

I Have All Object Authority And I'm Not Afraid To Use It!
Lord Acton, a British historian, introduced us to the expression "Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely!" While the true source of these words of wisdom is sometimes disputed, the gist is simple enough: Being in a position of supreme power or authority often leads to a person abusing that power. That's certainly how most dictators got started!
When it comes to security on IBM Power Servers running IBM i, a common challenge for many organizations is the number of users with too much power. These users can potentially circumvent application controls, override security restrictions for themselves and others, change critical server configuration settings, and even cover their tracks while they do it.
As you'll learn in this first part of a two-part article, "All Object" (*ALLOBJ) authority is probably the best known and most feared authority within the IBM i security and auditing community. However, there are many other way that users can exceed their appropriate level of access.
If consolidated authority gives a user access beyond their business requirement, there's an increased risk that they will view, change, or delete data.
In a recent Powertech State of IBM i Security Study, the servers audited averaged 58 users with *ALLOBJ special authority. This is "root" access with unrestricted authority to every object on the system. Almost as concerning, 119 users had "Job Control" (*JOBCTL) authority, which provides the ability to start and stop jobs and subsystems. On average, a total of 992 users on the servers were audited.
Typically, command line privileges are required to invoke commands that allow data or server access. It's often argued that there's only a minimal risk if a user has authority to an object or function, but lacks the access to the commands to access the object or run the function.
One mistake many organizations make is thinking that the only way to enter commands is through the command line on a "green screen." This is just one of several ways that users can enter commands. Some methods do not even require command line permissions—yes, you read that correctly!
Many people are surprised to learn that much of a user's "hidden" power is not in the form of administrative privileges, but a result of permissive public authority. Unlike other platforms, where no authority granted means no access, IBM i provides users a default authority called *PUBLIC. Problems develop when public authority remains at its shipped default value of *CHANGE, which gives any user the ability to view, change, and delete data.
In every edition of the State of IBM i Security Study since 2004, permissible public access forces us to include average users in the definition of "powerful" users.
Only 21% of libraries on the sampled systems restricted *PUBLIC access. This means that any user can access 79% of libraries and attempt to access the objects inside. If best-practices dictate that the public be given the least amount of access, we are falling far short of this goal.
Only 4% of newly created objects are restricted from *PUBLIC access. Combine this with the open library authority and it's obvious that data access is not being controlled.
Many components have to be configured correctly to control powerful users. Next, we'll explore ways to identify, contain, and audit the activities of these users.

Our warranty included with total bat-proofing would apply in the event that bats locate another entry hole and return into the attic or roost area. Trapping and removal of a bat in Texas can be tricky and should never be attempted if the bat was found in a room where people were sleeping. On many structures it is possible to locate the access point(s) by performing a detailed inspection of the outer structure. While at your property, Northcliffe Manor bat control will identify the entry points bats are using to access your home and make recommendations to exclude them permanently. This could even be areas such as between seat cushions, underneath entertainment centers, behind cabinets, or other areas that allow the bat to be virtually invisible. Nuisance bats suspected of having rabies should always be left for professionals to remove.
HOW DO I GET RID OF BATS FROM AN ATTIC? Bat removal is not a simple task. It is absolutely critical this isn't done during between May and the end of August. There is no effective bat repellent for example that can do the job easily. The proper way to get rid of them is to exclude the colony – seal off 100% of possible secondary entry points on the home and remove all of the bats from the building safely. It is most common for us to perform observations in the summer months during the time period when exclusions should not be performed. It is often very challenging, and it must be done just the right way. An amateur attempt, by someone with no experience, or worse, a pest control company that uses bat poison, could result in disaster – dead, rotting bats, and bats swarming throughout the walls and the home. Taller structures are more likely to receive less maintenance due to a lack of access for repairs.
Simple in concept, but very hard to get right! And it is crucial that it is done perfectly, or you'll have a big problem on your hands. We also have a driveable scissors lift with a 24-foot deck height. If the bat has been captured make sure to take it with you so the health department can discover if it is carrying rabies or not. It is great for installing chimney caps on 2 or 3 story homes. Bat removal is not easy, especially if you want to get rid of bats in the attic. First off, I have to say that if you know what you are doing, you can solve your bat problem permanently. They are neither strong enough nor are they long-lasting enough to keep bats at bay. Simple in concept, but very hard to get right! And it is crucial that it is done perfectly, or you'll have a big problem on your hands. In these cases you should treat the removal in much the same way as if they were in your attic. Sealing the building properly is critical to the process. Read more about bats in a barrel tile roof here.
What does bat guano do?
Seal-Up: After you are 100% certain that all the bats are out, remove the exclusion devices and seal the entry holes shut. What Is Rabies? Rabies is a disease that is caused by the virus Lyssavirus Rabies. Many homeowners are installing bat houses on their property to provide a natural method of insect control and reduce the need for pesticides. Prior to this, the adults return each morning and feed the young. It might be several different areas of the home. Bat Facts And Removal. How to Get Rid of Bats in the Attic: The process is definitely not simple. It allows access to tall inside peaks (such as churches) as it will fit through standard doorways. We recently (Aug/05) added a HEPA-vac to our equipment, and are now able to offer attic or other clean-outs. Restricting access of the females to the young will prevent feeding of the young and they will die. It is a time when young bats are leaving the nursery colony for the first time, and sometimes "get lost" while trying to find their way outside.
Not all at once, and they make several trips in and out per night. Performing an inspection can be time consuming, as we closely inspect the entire outer structure. Wear a pair of thick, leather gloves. We spend an evening watching all sides of the structure to locate the primary exit points. With a large colony of bats, this really adds up. Histoplasmosis is a disease that is caused by breathing in a fungus (Histoplasma Capsulatum). But most of all, the traps that do exist are cumbersome and the bats don't enter them very well, so they result in failed jobs. It's good to keep the guano damp so less of the spores drift into the air. I have more in-depth info below, but you may just want to click any of the above links to answer your specific questions. A bat that is out in the daylight, not active or easy to catch can be sick and quite easily with rabies. Here are tips about bats in the attic.

doctrines of Zoroaster. The Epistle gives us ample ground for concluding that there was danger of these mongrel philosophies corrupting the simplicity of the gospel of Christ, and that Paul's object was to fortify the church against doctrine which would result in evil. In the notes of the passages which refer to these doctrines, this will be discussed more at length.

Top 25 Baseball Stories of 2017 — No. 7: Carlos Beltran Retires
By Craig CalcaterraDec 29, 2017, 12:09 PM EST
We're a few short days away from 2018 so it's a good time to look back at the top 25 baseball stories of 2017. Some of them took place on the field, some of them off the field and some of them were more akin to tabloid drama. No matter where the story broke, however, these were the stories baseball fans were talking about most this past year.
On November 1, Carlos Beltran did the one thing he had never done in his 20-year big league career: he won a World Series. On November 13 he announced his retirement.
Beltran, the 1999 Rookie of the Year and a nine-time All-Star, played for the Royals, Mets, Yankees, Cardinals, Giants, Rangers and did two separate tours with the Houston Astros. Over the course of his career he put up a line of .279/.350/.486 with 435 homers and 312 stolen bases. An elite defensive center fielder for much of his career, Beltran took home three Gold Glove awards and could've won more if Gold Glove voting was approached a bit more objectively than it is. He was a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner as well.
In later years, Beltran became a corner outfielder and a veteran team leader, mentoring younger players while with the Yankees, Rangers and Astros. He was the winner of the 2013 Roberto Clemente Award, which honored both his leadership and his charitable and community contributions.
Beltran will probably make the Hall of Fame and he probably should. While he never won an MVP Award, his candidacy is a strong one when you think of him as an all-around great player as opposed to an all-time great in any one capacity. Fortunately for Beltran's candidacy, he finishes his career at a time when, more than ever, the media and fans have come to appreciate the value of the all-around player more than they ever had in the past. When you listen to baseball writers talk now, they usually say, "yeah, Carlos Beltran is a Hall of Famer." And I think that will carry the day for him, maybe not in his first year on the ballot, but at some point not long after.
Beltran was not the only one to call it quits in 2017. Among baseball's other departures:
Brennan Boesch: Folks in Detroit have a few fond memories;
Cory Luebke: You can come back from one Tommy John surgery. Two is a bit tougher;
Jeff Francoeur: Never as good as his press, never as bad as the shade thrown at him and a really nice guy;
Nolan Reimold: He has seven children. He's probably more tired in retirement than after a game;
Joe Beimel: Played a bit part in my greatest in-person baseball memory;
Jeremy Guthrie: Led the league in losses twice. It takes a pretty good pitcher to do that, actually. I mean that sincerely;
Jered Weaver: Led the league in wins twice and, for a short time, was one of baseball's best pitchers;
Paul Janish: A Houston native and Rice University alum will join the Rice coaching staff in 2018;
Joe Nathan: Number eight all-time in career saves;
Will Venable: Stole a lot of bases and didn't get caught much. Hit a lot of triples too. A nice player to have on your roster.
Ryan Vogelsong: Missed four full seasons before coming back with the Giants in 2011. Got himself a World Series ring to boot;
Bronson Arroyo: A reliable and durable workhorse for most of his career. A key part of Boston's historic 2004 team. A surefire first ballot inductee to the Lovable Flakey Dude Hall of Fame; and
Matt Cain: Three World Series rings, an excellent postseason track record and, for a time, one of baseball's best. Consistent as all get-out but often plagued with poor run support. Went out with a wonderful final career start.
Happy trails, gentlemen. Here's wishing you the best in your post-playing endeavors.

Ariana Grande took to the BBC on Thursday (Nov. 1) for an intimate, hour-long particular, titled Ariana Grande on the BBC, filmed in early September on the identical day ex-boyfriend Mac Miller handed away. The present featured Grande performing a 13-song set of Sweetener tracks together with hits "No Tears Left to Cry," "Breathin'," "God is a Woman" and "R.E.M." in addition to her largest hits backed by an all-female orchestra.

This is a video from my week lengthy course, traveling a BMW 320 with street wheels. Snow Rally Teaching Video. I believe it could be quickly customized to anyone who wish to improve their traveling abilities. This will teach snow rally traveling and control at low acceleration in comparison to four wheel travel cars which need higher speed to start out loosing grip on ice protected surface area.For serious rally motorists, Juha Kankkenen Traveling Academy offers higher level classes aimed for active rally motorists who to boost their skills. The guts is exclusive for using back wheel drive vehicles with regular street wheels. As you have observed in the video, the automobile was always heading sideways actually at slow acceleration. The school can be also a certified middle for Ford Race rally experience as well as the Fiesta rally college. The usage of back steering wheel drive at snow rally phases requires a lot of skill and car control.

It's the reason why race drivers who was raised in large snow areas became effective drivers in lots of areas of motorsport. Fahad.Group O'Neil school work their schooling on various kinds of roads. Many thanks. They also perform schooling on specially constructed courses such as for example Skid Pad, Slalom Training course and Obstacle Avoidance. Motorists such as for example Kimi Raikkonen, Mika Hakkinen, Heikki Kovalainen and Tommi Makinen. Generally very small and bumpy streets in the center of New Hampshire forests. A lot of their schooling are performed on classes that act like actual rally levels. Professional racing motorists who succeed on snow can perform better still on dry areas. Snow rally classes are fun actions, but they may also be important.

Scooby-Doo! Legend of the Phantosaur
The Fiery Phantosaur was a 3-D projected monster created by Winsor, and operated by himself and Professor Svankmajer, to drive people away so they could take away a crystallized Allosaurus they found without anyone knowing.
The Fiery Phantosaur resembled a Tyrannosaurus Rex with a red semi-transparent body that gave it a more ghostly appearance. It had horns, spines growing from its back, and a tail that resembled a cross between the tail club of a Ankylosaur and the tail spikes of a Stegosaurus.
Pyrokinesis: It was able to breathe fire, which was done by super-heating the air with paint strippers.
Intangibility: Being a mere projection, it could phase through solid objects.
Smokescreen projection: It could disappear in a flash of bright light and create a red smokscreen.
How the Fiery Phantosaur was created.
Winsor used his computer animation skills to create the Fiery Phantosaur. He then, with the help of Professor Svankmajer, set up several paint strippers throughout the town to make the Fiery Phantosaur breathe fire.
The Fiery Phantosaur then attacked La Serena's town area, terrorizing the locals before disappearing. Later, it attacked Mystery Inc. inside a cave where it was revealed to be a hologram after getting hit by the gang's fire extinguishers.

The Osceola Fall Color Train Ride
If you're looking for a more unique way to see the fall colors this year, consider climbing aboard The Osceola & St. Croix Valley Railway. Every year starting in September, the vintage trains chug slowly along the St. Croix River Valley, offering the opportunity to see the changing autumnal landscape.
Last year during the Lands' End Heritage Tour, my mom and I got the pleasure to experience this fall color train ride for ourselves! We arrived at the train station which is located just outside the quaint town of Osceola, Wisconsin. During the 90-minute ride, we explored the train, took in the fall colors, and even got to hang out on the very back of the caboose! We both really enjoyed it!
The Osceola & St. Croix Valley Railway offers three different fall color train rides. The first is the Marine on St. Croix which is the 90-minute ride that we went on. The second is the Pumpkin Express to Dresser where festivities await at the Dresser Depot. And the third is the Dinner Train where you're served a three-course meal with a complimentary glass of wine. (Psst! The last dinner train of 2019 is this Saturday, September 28th!)
All trains depart from the historic station right outside of Osceola, WI. Once the train ride starts, you're free to roam throughout the various railcars. Keep in mind, all train reservations must be made in advance!
