Mental health: Men won't talk about it and it's literally killing them
Military heroes in fight of their lives

16th Jun 2019 2:00 PM
I woke up with a panic, almost a scream inside my head, or was it screaming, the terror was there.
I couldn't place myself, I knew I was in a dark room but unable to pinpoint how many people were there or why I was so terrified, I tried to remember, I saw a face, an unfamiliar
face full of panic but then it was gone,
the memories were fading. - RAN Petty Officer Dave Stafford Finney, June 2018.
Royal Australian Navy Petty Officer and marine technician Dave Finney, 38, wrote those words just seven months before he killed himself.
He had woken up in bed at home, "swimming in sweat", his jaw clenched so tightly it was cramping. He guessed the "dark room" was a ship. Then his wife looked at him and "seemed to just know, she didn't need to ask".
Dave Finney lost his battle with PTS in February 2019.
As Dave, a father, showered he tried to recall what exactly the nightmare was about. He stood in the shower, with an almost "vacant" mind, not washing but just standing - "knowing that the feeling, that I could now barely recognise, would be there for hours, maybe the day, maybe longer". In his mind's eye he thought of his decorated service for the country - places like Bougainville, East Timor, Darwin.
"I ran through moments on the boat and then I realised my mistake, I felt instantly like something terrible was about to happen or had happened, I couldn't tell. It was like a mixture of panic and anger, a boiling pot of emotions, the easiest thing to do at that point is vent, I want to scream and put my fist through the shower door, but it didn't fit."

He battled through the day, took medication and ended up going to hospital multiple times during 2018. Diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder, he needed help from the agency responsible for caring for ex-soldiers, sailors and air force personnel, the Department of Veterans' Affairs.
In October last year he asked for help in finding a psychiatrist. He received a blunt email from DVA's outsourced agency social worker saying he might have to wait until April 2019 because of lengthy waiting lists.
Fighting government agencies for help amid a mind-boggling level of red-tape has been an all-too-common complaint made by veterans across the country.
Dave Finney died on February 1 this year and his Adelaide-based mother Julie-Ann Finney has bravely spoken out publicly about his case in her effort to get a royal commission called. She wants to give a voice to the dead.
"We need to hear the voices of those who have passed," she says. "That can only happen through their families … We don't need academics, the Australian Defence Force, the Department of Veterans' Affairs and the government deciding what will work.
Dave Finney died on February 1 this year.
"They have been trying that for years and it is not working. They've had enough chances.
"If I wasn't making a noise, my son would be buried and they would have moved on."
Sydney marketing expert Michelle Zamora's brother, RAN Petty Officer Dan Herps, died in 2014 after losing a battle with PTSD.
He had served his country since the age of 17, when he joined the navy, going to the Middle East, as well as in defence intelligence and on border patrol near Christmas Island, where he saw children die. He, like Dave Finney, wrote about his mental health struggles in his own journal, saying he admitted himself to hospital after having panic attacks.
"I was having suicidal … ideations and felt like life was out of control," he wrote.
"All the traumas I had hidden away were rushing back at once and in full force and were overloading my senses. So I live in the real world but also have so much displacement of traumatic events that I feel I am in two places at once."
Ms Zamora backs calls for a royal commission and wants to meet PM Scott Morrison face-to-face so he can hear directly from the families.
RAN Petty Officer Dan Herps, died in 2014 after losing a battle with PTSD.
"I knew my brother was troubled," she says. "But it was only in the last year of his life, I knew the struggles to have a name - PTSD.
"When he stayed at my home he would wake in the middle of the night with terrors and then pace the house for hours until we all awoke."
The problem of military suicides - which in numbers of dead outstrips recent battlefield injuries - is not new.
Studies show relative risks for "suicidal ideation" among veterans are 7.9 per cent higher than the Australian population, and 9.7 per cent higher for planning one and 13.8 per cent for attempts.
Servicemen under 30 have a suicide rate 2.2 times that of their non-military peers. In 2017, an astonishing 86 died by their own hand, and 80 during 2016, more than one a week. It dropped to 48 last year and is believed to have reached 14 this year.
Grieving families have called for a royal commission for many years now, but so far this has fallen on deaf ears.
In 2009, a government-ordered review into the problem by public health specialist Professor David Dunt said that new recruits undertook forcible "psychic reorientation" when they began training.
And if they fail to succeed, and are discharged on medical or other grounds, that can set in train a sequence of negative reactions such as anger and resentment. He also highlighted the complexity for veterans of dealing with three different military compensation schemes.
Daniel Garforth took his life in 2014.
The Rudd government accepted his findings and gave $9.4 million over four years to implement the recommendations, which included plans to "enhance the mental health workforce" and improve training through stress management programs.
But veterans and families say the problem didn't go away and after sustained pressure, a federal senate inquiry, The Constant Battle: Suicide by Veterans, was called. It shone a spotlight into an appallingly cumbersome bureaucracy and the difficulty of navigating multiple pieces of legislation, where veterans must use "advocates" to deal with claims, tribunals and reviews.
This 2017 inquiry's findings in turn led the PM to order a Productivity Commission review, which is handing the final report to him within days.
But the original senate inquiry's findings appeared to have underestimated the suicide problem. Relying on figures from Defence, it stated that between 2000 and September 2016, 118 full-time serving ADF members were suspected or confirmed to have died by suicide and 83 ex-servicemen and women had died in the 10 years before 2015.
DVA conceded its figures were incomplete because it only finds out about the death if a dependent puts in a claim for compo or income support.
But late last year a new analysis of the figures by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), put the death toll between 2001 and 2016 at 373. That includes serving, ex-serving and reserve personnel.
Nikki Jamieson with her soldier son Daniel Garforth.
And it appears that is also an underestimate.
Veteran Scott Harris, from the support group The Warrior's Return Facebook page, says the figure is more likely to be 412 for that time period.
He's meticulously researching and recording current military, and veterans', suicides dating back to before the Boer War of the late 1880s. He says the AIHW figures do not include someone who served before 2001 but died at their own hand after that date, in 2005, for example. And he has made some startling discoveries during his four years of research of historical records at the Australian War Memorial, police and defence records, and notifications from the general public. Each case he crosschecks with families, death certificates and coronial inquests.
"The suicides go in waves after every conflict," he says. "You can see it on a graph after the Boer War, World War I, II and so on," he says. "I knew it would be bad when I started out but I didn't know it would be this bad."
His figures show that there were no deaths during the 1880s, until you reach the Boer War in 1889, and there are two deaths. During the years before WWI, the suicides were in single figures, and in the early 1910s, there were none.
Suddenly, in 1914 (when the war began), the figure rises to 13, then leapt up to 133 in 1915 and 125 in 1916.
During the 1920s, the numbers go down and the decade total is 90. Between 1931 and 1940 Mr Harris records 70.
Then, with WWII, the figure jumps again to 488 for the decade of the 1940s.
During the 1950s it drops to 42 for the decade. Then in the '60s, encompassing Vietnam, it rises to 226.
Daniel Garforth was a returned soldier who killed himself at just 21 years of age.
During the 1980s it drops to 135, then steadily climbs again as Australia undertook peacekeeping missions and conflicts in the Middle East. For the period from 2011 to 2018 the figure hit 385 based on Mr Harris' calculations.
Mr Harris, a former sergeant in the Australian Army, believes Defence - and society generally - needs to work to stop it being a "taboo subject".
"We need to talk about it, if someone needs assistance, stand up, don't turn your back on them. If you can't help them, find someone who can."
Nikki Jamieson, whose 21-year-old soldier son Daniel Garforth took his life in 2014, has gone on to become an expert in the subject. She did a Master's in Suicidology and is now doing a PhD in veteran suicide and has become an advocate. She's at the forefront of a new theory that has emerged during the mid-2000s, called "moral injury", to understand one of the dynamics behind military suicides.
It manifests when individuals' moral codes are violated and they become distressed at watching unjust or immoral behaviour or betrayals - to themselves and others.
"Moral injury can happen by witnessing an act, or perpetrating an act that violates your moral codes and values," she said. "Or it can happen when we are deeply betrayed (for example) by leadership decisions especially if they result in injury or death."
She says it's not PTSD, but veterans could be suffering from both. "Moral injury can manifest as shame, guilt, intense grief, self-condemning behaviours and ultimately leading to a loss of identity, friends … a loss of purpose than can lead to a loss of a reason to live."
She says the recruits are given 12 weeks of intense training when they sign up - yet only one day of optional "transition" leave when they wind up.
"Defence should spend 12 weeks building them up again, at the very minimum, how to adjust to civilian life and how to build their support networks, how to deal with having their moral codes broken."

Q: SSH broken due to chmod -R /* I made a total mistake here. Anyway I ran chmod -R 777 /* and immediately regretted my decision.
I had to boot into single user mode to and ran chmod -R 755 /etc/* in order to login to the server.
The only problem is ssh now and obvious security issues.
How do I get SSH working again?

A: Couple of thoughts, assuming restore from backup is not an option:

*

*Check /home directory permissions.  Everything underneath that should be  700 to make ssh happy (technically only required underneath your specific directory, but safer to just make that done across the board).

*Also make sure /root is 700.

*/tmp is special, you might want to do this:  https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/71622/what-are-common-rights-for-tmp-i-unintentionnally-set-it-all-public-recursive (not related to ssh particularly but just something that is not like other things you'll encounter).

*Consider installing a clean CentOS image somewhere and do the venerable stare and compare to get things back to normal.  Or do it the easier way:  https://superuser.com/questions/200681/how-to-display-only-permissions-and-file-names-using-ls-command - run on each image (yours and the new/clean one) and diff the outputs for any major anomalies.
Good luck!

citizens of Boone County was accepted, and the farm and the site for the buildings were located. In 1860-61, the farm house and barn were erected. In 1862 Congress granted to the State 240,000 acres of land for the endowment of schools of agriculture and the mechanical arts, and 195,000 acres were located by Peter Melendy, Commissioner, in 1862-63. In 1864 the General Assembly appropriated $20,000 for the erection of the college building.
In June of that year the Building Committee proceeded to let the contract. The $20,000 appropriated by the General Assembly were expended in putting in the foundations and making the brick for the structure. An additional appropriation of $91,000 was made in 1866, and the building was completed in 1868.
Tuition in this college is made by law forever free to pupils from the State cver sixteen years of age, who have been resident of the State six months previuous to their admission. Each county in the State has a previous right of tuition for three scholars from each county; the remainder, equal to the capacity of the college, · are by the trustees distributed among the counties in proportion
to the population, and subject to the above rule. All sale of ardent spirits, wine or beer, is prohibited by law within a distance of three miles from the college, except for sacramental, mechanical or medical purposes.
The course of instruction in the Agricultural College embraces the following branches: Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, Botany, Horticulture, Fruit Growing, Forestry, Animal and Vegetable Anatomy, Geology,
Geology, Mineralogy, Meteorology, Entomology, Zoology, the Veterinary Art, Plain Mensuration, Leveling, Surveying, Bookkeeping, and such Mechanical Arts as are directly connected with agriculture; also such other studies as the Trustees may, from time to time, prescribe, not inconsistent with the purposes of the institution. The funds arising from the lease and sale of lands, and interest on investments, are sufficient for the support of the institution.
The Board of Trustees, in 1881, was composed of Charles W. Tenney, Plymouth; George H. Wright, Sivux City; Henry G. Little, Grinnell; William McClintock, West Union; John N. Dixon, Oskaloosa. A. S. Welch, President of the Faculty, W. D. Lucas, Treasurer; E. W. Stanton, Secretary.
The Trustees are elected by the General Assembly, in joint convention, for four years, three being elected at one session and two the next.
THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
Iowa City, Johnson County. In the famous Ordinance of 1787, enacted by Congress before the Territory of the United States extended beyond the Mississippi River, it was declared that in all the territory northwest of
the Ohio River, "Schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged." By act of Congress, approved July 20, 1840, the Secretary of the Treasury was authorized "to set apart and reserve from sale, out of any of the public lands within the Territory of Iowa, to which the Indian title has been or may be extinguished, and not otherwise appropriated, a quantity of land, not exceeding the entire townships, for the use and support of a university within said Territory when it becomes a State, and for no other use or purpose whateverr; to be located in tracts of not less than an entire section, corresponding with any of the large divisions into which the public lands are authorized to be surveyed."
William W. Dodge, of Scott County, was appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury to make the selections. He selected Section 5, in Township 78, north of Range 3, east of the Fifth Principal Meridian, and then removed from the Territory. No more land were selected until 1846, when, at the request of the Assembly, John M. Whitaker, of Van Buren County, was appointed, who selected the remainder of the grant except about 122 acres.
In the first Constitution, under which Iowa was admitted to the Union, the people directed the disposition of the proceeds of this munificent grant in accordance with its terms, and instructed the General Assembly to provide, as soon as may be, effectual means for the improvement and permanent security of the funds of the University derived from the lands.
The first General Assembly, by act approved February 25, 1847, established the "State University of Iowa" at Iowa City, then the Capital of the State, "with such other branches as public convenience may hereafter require." The "public buildings at Iowa City, together with the ten acres of land in which they are situated, were granted for the use of said University, provided, however, that the sessions of the Legislature and State offices should be held in the capitol until otherwise provided by law. The control and management of the University were committed to a Board of fifteen Trustees, to be appointed by the Legislature, five of whom were to be chosen biennially. The Superintendent of Public Instruction was made president of this Board. Provisions were made for the disposal of the two townships of land, and for the investment of the funds arising therefrom. The act further provides that the University shall never be under the exclusive control of any religious denomination whatever, and as soon as the revenue for the grant and donations amounts to $2,000 a year, the University should commence and continue the instruction, free of charge, of fifty students annually. The General Assembly retained full supervision over the Universi'y, it officers and the grants and donations made and to be made to it by the State.
The organization of the University at Iowa City was impracticable, however, so long as the seat of government was retained there.
In January, 1849, two branches of the University and three Normal Schools were established. The branches were locatedone at Fairfield, and the other at Dubuque, and were placed upon an equal footing, in respect to funds and all other matters, with the University established at Iowa City. "This act," says Col. Benton, "created three State Universities, with equal rights and powers, instead of a University with such branches as public convenience may hereafter demand,' as provided by the Constitution.
The Board of Directors of the Fairfield Branch consisted of Barnet Ristine, Christian W. Slagle, Daniel Rider, Horace Gaylord, Bernhart Henn and Samuel S. Bayard. At the first meeting of the Board Mr. Henn was elected President, Mr. Slagle Secretary, and Mr. Gaylord Treasurer. Twenty acres of land were purchased, and a building erected thereon, costing $2,500. This building was nearly destroyed by a hurricane, in 1850, but was rebuilt more substantially, all by contributions of the citizens of Fairfield. This branch never received any aid from the State or from the University Fund, and by act approved January 24, 1853, at the request of the Board, the General Assembly terminated its relation to the State.
The branch at Dubuque was placed under the control of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The Trustees never organized, and its existence was only nominal.
The Normal Schools were located at Andrew, Oskaloosa and Mount Pleasant, respectively. Each was to be governed by a board of seven Trustees, to be appointed by the Trustees of the University. Each was to receive $500 annually from the income of the University fund, upon condition that they should educate eight common school teachers, free of charge for tuition, and that the citizens should contribute an equal sum for the erection of the requisite buildings. The several Boards of Trustees were appointed. At Andrew, the school was organized November 21, 1849. A building was commenced and over $1,000 expended on it, but it was never completed. At Oskaloosa, the Trustees organized in April, 1852. This school was opened in the Court House, September 13, 1852. A two-story brick building was completed in 1853, costing $2,473. The school at Mount Pleasant was never organized. Neither of these schools received any aid from the University fund, but in 1857 the Legislature appropriated $1,000 each for those at Oskaloosa and Andrew, and repealed the law authorizing the payment of money to them from the University fund. From that time they made no further effort to continue in operation.
At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees, held February 21, 1850, the "College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Upper Mississippi," established at Davenport, was recognized as the "College of Physicians and Surgeons of the State University of Iowa,"
expressly stipulating, however, that such recognition should not render the University liable for any pecuniary aid, nor was the Board to have any control over the property or management of the Medical Association. Soon after, this College was removed to Keokuk, its second session being opened there in November, 1850. In 1851, the General Assembly confirmed the action of the Board, and by act approved January 22, 1855, placed the Medical College under the supervision of the Board of Trustees of the University, and it continued in operation until this arrangement was terminated by the new Constitution, September 3, 1857.
From 1847 to 1855, the Board of Trustees was kept full by regular elections by the Legislature, and the Trustees held frequent meetings, but there was no effectual organization of the University. In March, 1855, it was partially opened for a term of sixteen weeks. July 16, 1855, Amos Dean, of Albany, N. Y., was elected President, but he never entered fully upon its duties. The University was again opened in September, 1055, and continued in operation until June, 1856, under Professors Johnson, Welton, Van Valkenburg and Guffin.
In the Spring of 1856 the capital of the State was located at Des Moines; but there were no buildings there, and the capitol at Iowa City was not vacated by the State until December, 1857.
In June, 1856, the faculty was re-organized, with some changes, and the University was again opened on the third Wednesday of September, 1856. There were one hundred and twenty-four students--eighty-three males and forty-one females in attendance during the year 1856-7, and the first regular catalogue was published.
Article IX, Section 11, of the new State Constitution, which went into force Sept. 3, 1857, provided as follows:
The State University shall be established at one place, without branches at any other place; and the University fund shall be applied to that institution, and no other.
Article XI, Section 8, provided that
The seat of government is hereby permanently established, as now_fixed by law, at the city of Des Moines, in the county of Polk; and the State University at Iowa City, in the county of Johnson.
The new Constitution created the Board of Education, consisting of the Lieutenant-Governor, who was ex-officio President, and one member to be elected from each judicial district in the State. This Board was endowed with "full power and authority to legislate and make all needful rules and regulations in relation to common schools and other educational institutions," subject to alteration, amendment or repeal by the General Assembly, which was vested with authority to abolish or re-organize the Board at any time after 1863.
In December, 1857, the old capitol building, now known as Central Hall of the University, except the rooms occupied by the United States District Court, and the property, with that excep
tion, passed under the control of the Trustees, and became the seat of the University. The old building had had hard usage, and its arrangement was illy adapted for University purposes. Extensive repairs and changes were necessary, but the Board was without funds for these purposes.
The last meeting of the Board, under the old law, was held in January, 1858. At this meeting a resolution was introduced, and seriously considered, to exclude females from the University; but it finally failed.
March 12, 1858, the first Legislature under the new Constitution enacted a new law in relation to the University, but it was not materially different from the former. March 11, 1858, the Legislature appropriated $3,000 for the repair and modification of the old capitol building, and $10,000 for the erection of a boarding house, now known as South Hall.
The Board of Trustees created by the new law met and duly organized April 27, 1858, and determined to close the University until the income from its funds should be adequate to meet the current expenses, and the buildings should be ready for occupation. Until this term, the building known as the "Mechanics' Academy" had been used for the school. The Faculty, except the Chancellor (Dean), was dismissed, and all further instruction suspended, from the close of the term then in progress until September, 1859. At this meeting, a resolution was adopted excluding females from the University after the close of the existing term; but this was afterward, in August, modified, so as to admit them to the Normal Department.
An "Act for the Government and Regulation of the State University of Iowa," approved December 25, 1858, was mainly a reenactment of the law of March 12, 1858, except that changes were made in the Board of Trustees, and manner of their appointment. This law provided that both sexes were to be admitted on equal terms to all departments of the institution, leaving the Board no discretion in the matter.
At the annual meeting June 28, 1860, a full Faculty was appointed, and the University re-opened, under this new organization, September 19, 1860 (third Wednesday); and at this date the actual existence of the University may be said to commence.
August 19, 1862, Dr. Totten having resigned, Prof. Oliver M. Spencer was elected President and the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon Judge Samuel F. Miller, of Keokuk.
At the commencement, in June, 1863, was the first class of graduates in the Collegiate Department.
The Board of Education was abolished March 19, 1864 and the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction was restored; the General Assembly resumed control of the subject of education, and on March 21 an act was approved for the government of the University. It was substantially the same as the former law, but

Road safety education without stringent enforcement is entertainment – Supt. Obeng
The Ghana Police Service has reiterated its commitment to ensuring road safety during the festive season.
Speaking on Saturday, December 11, 2021, during Newsfile, the Director of Public Affairs for the Service, Superintendent Alexander Kweku Obeng stated that Police officers have been adequately trained to enforce road safety regulations as well as deal with road traffic offenders according to law.
"Road safety education without stringent enforcement to a very large extent is entertainment," he said.
He indicated that over 6,440 road traffic offenders have been arrested from January to November. Out of this number, 5,289 have been put before motor courts across the country and 4,443 have been convicted.
He added that the Service will continue to collaborate with the National Road Safety Commission and commercial drivers to ensure that road carnages are reduced, especially during this festive season.
Road safety has become of great concern, especially as the festive season approaches. Latest statistics from the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), suggest that the number of deaths recorded through road accidents this year is more than last year's, although the year has not ended yet.
According to data from the MTTD, a total of 25,666 vehicles were involved in road accidents with 2,608 deaths recorded as against 2,589 deaths in 2020. Regardless, the Service has pledged to strictly enforce the road traffic regulations as part of efforts to bring the situation under control.
The Service has also introduced a new special operation to clamp down on recalcitrant V8 drivers. According to the Police, this operation will be pursued without any consideration for the status of offenders.
They have directed all officers to arrest drivers who abuse road traffic regulations, especially drivers of V8 vehicles.
On Tuesday, the Police arrested the Nhyiaeso Member of Parliament, Dr Stephen Amoah, over a road traffic offence, and he is being put through the court process.
He was arrested with six other drivers charged with offences such as careless driving, dangerous driving and causing road obstruction, among others around the Airport by-pass.

The Best Cities For Raising A Family
Tom Van Riper
I write about the New York Mets
This article is more than 7 years old.
Gallery: America's Best Cities for Raising a Family
Raleigh, N.C., has built a solid economy around financial services, software and energy, a major retail shipping operation and its renowned Research Triangle.
The metro area is also blessed with quality schools, low crime, lots of oak trees and a low cost of living relative to its residents' rising level of income. About two-thirds of locals own their own homes. Among America's major population centers, is there a better place to raise a family? We don't think so. Raleigh gets the nod in 2014, edging out Grand Rapids, Mich., Ogden, Utah, and Omaha, Neb.
Grand Rapids, our winner in 2012, boasts the highest percentage of homeowners in the country (77%), with minimal commute times and low crime. Both Ogden and Omaha, much like Raleigh, offer relatively low costs of living even with household incomes that beat the average of large U.S. metro areas.
Taste in cities is always subjective, of course. There's nothing wrong with raising children in New York or Chicago, and if the bright lights and energy of those towns are what suits you then you probably wouldn't be very happy in Raleigh, Grand Rapids or Omaha.
But individual tastes aside, we believe there's a logical, objective set of criteria with which to measure family friendliness. We ranked America's 100 largest metro areas on median household income (data from Census Bureau), Cost of Living Index (Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness), housing affordability (the percentage of homes in the area affordable to those making the local median income – NAHB/ Wells Fargo ), the percentage of residents who own their homes (Census Bureau) average commuting delays (Texas Transportation Institute), crime rate rankings (FBI via CQ Press) and local school quality (greatschools.org).
You've probably noticed that Raleigh has appeared on a few of these "Best" lists in recent years, in Forbes and other publications. And for good reason: it's managed to grow into a major metro area (its population has expanded about 50% since 2000) with a minimum of the hassles that invariably come along with it, like rising prices and congestion. A beltway loop built around the city has helped ease local traffic. Median household income ($58,000) ranks in the top 30 among the nation's 100 largest metros, while the local cost of living still ranks in the bottom 30. Commuting delays, always a factor in missing quality family time, are eighth-lowest in the country, according to the Texas Transportation Institute.
The one area where costs are creeping higher: housing. Just under 72% of Raleigh-area homes are deemed affordable at the median income level, according to the latest joint study from from the National Association of Home Builders and Wells Fargo. That's not bad, but it's the one category where Raleigh falls a bit below the national major metro average. It could be a sign that growth beyond the family comfort zone is slowly creeping in. But for now, Raleigh sits in the sweet spot of big city and small town life rolled together.

Goldilocks and The Water Bears, The Search for Life in the Universe; Louisa Preston
Today we know of only a single planet that hosts life: the Earth. But across a Universe of at least 100 billion possibly habitable worlds, surely our planet isn't the only one that, like the porridge Goldilocks sought, is just right for life?
Astrobiologists search the galaxy for conditions that are suitable for life to exist, focusing on similar worlds located at the perfect distance from their Sun, within the aptly named 'Goldilocks Zone'. Such a place might have liquid water on its surface, and may therefore support a thriving biosphere. What might life look like on other worlds? It is possible to make best-guesses using facts rooted in science, and by studying 'extremophiles' - organisms such as the near-indestructible water bears, which can survive in the harshest conditions that Earth, and even space, can offer.
Goldilocks and the Water Bears is a tale of the origins and evolution of life, and the quest to find it on other planets, on moons, in other galaxies, and throughout the Universe.

Fitz and the Fool
Fool's Assassin Inhaltsangabe
Nearly 20 years ago, Robin Hobb burst upon the fantasy scene with the first of her acclaimed Farseer novels, Assassin's Apprentice, which introduced the characters of FitzChivalry Farseer and his uncanny friend the Fool. A watershed moment in modern fantasy, this novel - and those that followed - broke exciting new ground in a beloved genre. Together with George R. R. Martin, Robin Hobb helped pave the way for such talented new voices as Scott Lynch, Brandon Sanderson, and Naomi Novik.
Over the years, Hobb's imagination has soared throughout the mythic lands of the Six Duchies in such best-selling series as the Liveship Traders Trilogy and the Rain Wilds Chronicles. But no matter how far she roamed, her heart always remained with Fitz. And now, at last, she has come home, with an astonishing new novel that opens a dark and gripping chapter in the Farseer saga.
FitzChivalry - royal bastard and former king's assassin - has left his life of intrigue behind. As far as the rest of the world knows, FitzChivalry Farseer is dead and buried. Masquerading as Tom Badgerlock, Fitz is now married to his childhood sweetheart, Molly, and leading the quiet life of a country squire.
Though Fitz is haunted by the disappearance of the Fool, who did so much to shape Fitz into the man he has become, such private hurts are put aside in the business of daily life, at least until the appearance of menacing, pale-skinned strangers casts a sinister shadow over Fitz's past...and his future.
Now, to protect his new life, the former assassin must once again take up his old one....

Q: When was the shellshock (CVE-2014-6271/7169) bug introduced, and what is the patch that fully fixes it? Some context about the bug: CVE-2014-6271

Bash supports exporting not just shell variables, but also shell
  functions to other bash instances, via the process environment to
  (indirect) child processes.  Current bash versions use an environment
  variable named by the function name, and a function definition
  starting with "() {" in the variable value to propagate function
  definitions through the environment.  The vulnerability occurs because
  bash does not stop after processing the function definition; it
  continues to parse and execute shell commands following the function
  definition.  For example, an environment variable setting of
  VAR=() { ignored; }; /bin/id

will execute /bin/id when the environment is imported into the bash
  process.

Source: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q3/650
When was the bug introduced, and what is the patch that fully fixes it? (See CVE-2014-7169)
What are the vulnerable versions beyond noted in the CVE (initially) (3.{0..2} and 4.{0..3})?
Has the buggy source code been reused in other projects?
Additional information is desirable.

Related: What does env x='() { :;}; command' bash do and why is it insecure?

A: TL;DR
The shellshock vulnerability is fully fixed in

*

*On the bash-2.05b branch: 2.05b.10 and above (patch 10 included)

*On the bash-3.0 branch: 3.0.19 and above (patch 19 included)

*On the bash-3.1 branch: 3.1.20 and above (patch 20 included)

*On the bash-3.2 branch: 3.2.54 and above (patch 54 included)

*On the bash-4.0 branch: 4.0.41 and above (patch 41 included)

*On the bash-4.1 branch: 4.1.14 and above (patch 14 included)

*On the bash-4.2 branch: 4.2.50 and above (patch 50 included)

*On the bash-4.3 branch: 4.3.27 and above (patch 27 included)

If your bash shows an older version, your OS vendor may still have patched it by themselves, so best is to check.
If:
env xx='() { echo vulnerable; }' bash -c xx

shows "vulnerable", you're still vulnerable. That is the only test that is relevant (whether the bash parser is still exposed to code in any environment variable).
Details.
The bug was in the initial implementation of the function exporting/importing introduced on the 5th of August 1989 by Brian Fox, and first released in bash-1.03 about a month later at a time where bash was not in such widespread use, before security was that much of a concern and HTTP and the web or Linux even existed.
From the ChangeLog in 1.05:

Fri Sep  1 18:52:08 1989  Brian Fox  (bfox at aurel)

       * readline.c: rl_insert ().  Optimized for large amounts
         of typeahead.  Insert all insertable characters at once.

       * I update this too irregularly.
         Released 1.03.
[...]
Sat Aug  5 08:32:05 1989  Brian Fox  (bfox at aurel)

       * variables.c: make_var_array (), initialize_shell_variables ()
         Added exporting of functions.

Some discussions in gnu.bash.bug and comp.unix.questions around that time also mention the feature.
It's easy to understand how it got there.
bash exports the functions in env vars like
foo=() {
  code
}

And on import, all it has to do is interpret that with the = replaced with a space... except that it should not blindly interpret it.
It's also broken in that in bash (contrary to the Bourne shell), scalar variables and functions have a different name space. Actually if you have
foo() { echo bar; }; export -f foo
export foo=bar

bash will happily put both in the environment (yes entries with same variable name) but many tools (including many shells) won't propagate them.
One would also argue that bash should use a BASH_ namespace prefix for that as that's env vars only relevant from bash to bash. rc uses a fn_ prefix for a similar feature.
A better way to implement it would have been to put the definition of all exported variables in a variable like:
BASH_FUNCDEFS='f1() { echo foo;}
  f2() { echo bar;}...'

That would still need to be sanitized but at least that could not be more exploitable than $BASH_ENV or $SHELLOPTS...
There is a patch that prevents bash from interpreting anything else than the function definition in there (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2014-09/msg00081.html), and that's the one that has been applied in all the security updates from the various Linux distributions.
However, bash still interprets the code in there and any bug in the interpreter could be exploited. One such bug has already been found (CVE-2014-7169) though its impact is a lot smaller. So there will be another patch coming soon.
Until a hardening fix that prevents bash to interpret code in any variable (like using the BASH_FUNCDEFS approach above), we won't know for sure if we're not vulnerable from a bug in the bash parser. And I believe there will be such a hardening fix released sooner or later.
Edit 2014-09-28
Two additional bugs in the parser have been found (CVE-2014-718{6,7}) (note that most shells are bound to have bugs in their parser for corner cases, that wouldn't have been a concern if that parser hadn't been exposed to untrusted data).
While all 3 bugs 7169, 7186 and 7187 have been fixed in following patches, Red Hat pushed for the hardening fix. In their patch, they changed the behaviour so that functions were exported in variables called BASH_FUNC_myfunc() more or less preempting Chet's design decision.
Chet later published that fix as an official upstreams bash patch.
That hardening patch, or variants of it are now available for most major Linux distribution and eventually made it to Apple OS/X.
That now plugs the concern for any arbitrary env var exploiting the parser via that vector including two other vulnerabilities in the parser (CVE-2014-627{7,8}) that were disclosed later by Michał Zalewski (CVE-2014-6278 being almost as bad as CVE-2014-6271) thankfully after most people had had time to install the hardening patch
Bugs in the parser will be fixed as well, but they are no longer that much of an issue now that the parser is no longer so easily exposed to untrusted input.
Note that while the security vulnerability has been fixed, it's likely that we'll see some changes in that area. The initial fix for CVE-2014-6271 has broken backward compatibility in that it stops importing functions with . or : or / in their name. Those can still be declared by bash though which makes for an inconsistent behaviour. Because functions with . and : in their name are commonly used, it's likely a patch will restore accepting at least those from the environment.
Why wasn't it found earlier?
That's also something I wondered about. I can offer a few explanations.
First, I think that if a security researcher (and I'm not a professional security researcher) had specifically been looking for vulnerabilities in bash, they would have likely found it.
For instance, if I were a security researcher, my approaches could be:

*

*Look at where bash gets input from and what it does with it. And the environment is an obvious one.

*Look in what places the bash interpreter is invoked and on what data. Again, it would stand out.

*The importing of exported functions is one of the features that is disabled when bash is setuid/setgid, which makes it an even more obvious place to look.

Now, I suspect nobody thought to consider bash (the interpreter) as a threat, or that the threat could have come that way.
The bash interpreter is not meant to process untrusted input.
Shell scripts (not the interpreter) are often looked at closely from a security point of view. The shell syntax is so awkward and there are so many caveats with writing reliable scripts (ever seen me or others mentioning the split+glob operator or why you should quote variables for instance?) that it's quite common to find security vulnerabilities in scripts that process untrusted data.
That's why you often hear that you shouldn't write CGI shell scripts, or setuid scripts are disabled on most Unices. Or that you should be extra careful when processing files in world-writeable directories (see CVE-2011-0441 for instance).
The focus is on that, the shell scripts, not the interpreter.
You can expose a shell interpreter to untrusted data (feeding foreign data as shell code to interpret) via eval or . or calling it on user provided files, but then you don't need a vulnerability in bash to exploit it. It's quite obvious that if you're passing unsanitized data for a shell to interpret, it will interpret it.
So the shell is called in trusted contexts. It's given fixed scripts to interpret and more often than not (because it's so difficult to write reliable scripts) fixed data to process.
For instance, in a web context, a shell might be invoked in something like:
popen("sendmail -oi -t", "w");

What can possibly go wrong with that? If something wrong is envisaged, that's about the data fed to that sendmail, not how that shell command line itself is parsed or what extra data is fed to that shell. There's no reason you'd want to consider the environment variables that are passed to that shell. And if you do, you realise it's all env vars whose name start with "HTTP_" or are well known CGI env vars like SERVER_PROTOCOL or QUERYSTRING none of which the shell or sendmail have any business to do with.
In privilege elevation contexts like when running setuid/setgid or via sudo, the environment is generally considered and there have been plenty of vulnerabilities in the past, again not against the shell itself but against the things that elevate the privileges like sudo (see for instance CVE-2011-3628).
For instance, bash doesn't trust the environment when setuid or called by a setuid command (think mount for instance that invokes helpers). In particular, it ignores exported functions.
sudo does clean the environment: all by default except for a white list, and if configured not to, at least black lists a few that are known to affect a shell or another (like PS4, BASH_ENV, SHELLOPTS...). It does also blacklist the environment variables whose content starts with () (which is why CVE-2014-6271 doesn't allow privilege escalation via sudo).
But again, that's for contexts where the environment cannot be trusted: any variable with any name and value can be set by a malicious user in that context. That doesn't apply to web servers/ssh or all the vectors that exploit CVE-2014-6271 where the environment is controlled (at least the name of the environment variables is controlled...)
It's important to block a variable like echo="() { evil; }", but not HTTP_FOO="() { evil; }", because HTTP_FOO is not going to be called as a command by any shell script or command line. And apache2 is never going to set an echo or BASH_ENV variable.
It's quite obvious some environment variables should be black-listed in some contexts based on their name, but nobody thought that they should be black-listed based on their content (except for sudo). Or in other words, nobody thought that arbitrary env vars could be a vector for code injection.
As to whether extensive testing when the feature was added could have caught it, I'd say it's unlikely.
When you test for the feature, you test for functionality. The functionality works fine. If you export the function in one bash invocation, it's imported alright in another. A very thorough testing could have spotted issues when both a variable and function with the same name are exported or when the function is imported in a locale different from the one it was exported in.
But to be able to spot the vulnerability, it's not a functionality test you would have had to do. The security aspect would have had to be the main focus, and you wouldn't be testing the functionality, but the mechanism and how it could be abused.
It's not something that developers (especially in 1989) often have at the back of their mind, and a shell developer could be excused to think his software is unlikely to be network exploitable.

A: According to the NVD database at NIST (http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-6271), ALL VERSIONS of bash from 1.14.0 onwards are vulnerable.
RedHat got wind of the bug on September 14.

In 1994 Chet Ramey described it as predating the old POSIX 2 spec that specified exported functions, anyway. Or, at least, he described the bash mechanism as doing so - whether or not it was as flawed then as now I don't know. He also discusses rc's function exports in that thread as well.

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?
She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now. The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again. In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.
She requested that every day for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request. I told Jane about my wife's divorce conditions. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully. My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office. On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her. On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

The Texas Department of Transportation could open the new Grand Street bridge in northeast Amarillo to traffic as early as Friday.
TxDOT and the city of Amarillo took advantage of $7.3 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to build the bridge, a long-sought project to reduce Grand Street congestion in the area. The city of Amarillo contributed about $1.8 million to the project, according to TxDOT.
The bridge carries vehicle traffic over the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway tracks across Grand and run parallel to Southeast Third Avenue.
Drivers who travel the area regularly complained about traffic being blocked by stopped trains at the intersection of Grand and Southeast Third. City and Potter County officials also expressed concerns for safety reasons because the trains blocked passage of emergency personnel.
Drivers accessing Grand from Southeast Third will use an access road just east of the new overpass, a TxDOT news release said.
Traffic coming to Southeast Third from Grand will use the intersection located south of the overpass.

#TechTuesday | What on Google Earth are Digital Humanities? (Part 1)
Aleen is the Digital Heritage Specialist for Language in Lyrics.
By Aleen Leigh Stanton
Welcome back to #TechTuesday. In this second post in the Kitchen Table series, we are going to explore something we only mentioned in passing last time: digital humanities. Let's gather round the (digital) kitchen table for another discussion and see if we can figure this out together.
First, why are we even talking about digital humanities? You might be wondering, what does that have to do with Gaelic songs? Well, Language in Lyrics is one example of a digital humanities project. I mentioned this last time, but now I have more time to explain.
Part of my job over the last few months has been big-picture thinking and researching the world of digital humanities, and our little corner of that world with Language in Lyrics.
In order to do that, I had to figure out exactly how to define digital humanities, and decide our place, as Language in Lyrics, within it.
You're going to see pretty soon that much ink has been spilled over how to define digital humanities, and this blogpost is not ground-breaking in its exploration of it. I'm not saying anything new here, but instead trying to organize all the information I've found through my research all in one place so you can get a sense of the lay of the land. It was a lot of reading, a lot of Googling, and a lot of note-taking – I've done it so you don't have to!
In order to understand the Language in Lyrics project, along with its goals, aims, and challenges, we have to understand digital humanities. But, what are we talking about when we talk about "digital humanities"? What does that term actually mean?
Defining digital humanities
The simple answer: it can mean a lot of different things. Sorry, was that a cop-out? It's true! Digital humanities projects can take almost any form – indexes, digitization projects, online databases, literary or textual analysis, online maps/GIS, oral history, among many others. Digital humanities projects often "crunch the numbers" for analysis using datasets or digitization, and then share the results online in some kind of user-friendly and accessible content. Big data in little bytes. (Couldn't resist).
Crowd-sourcing a definition
The question I asked in the title of this blogpost is not a new one. Many have tried to define the nebulous field of digital humanities, and even tried to figure out whether it should be grammatically singular or plural (I know). And because it's digital humanities, of course some clever person has created a website called whatisdigitalhumanities.com, which loads a new crowd-sourced definition of digital humanities every time you refresh the page. If you'd like to see what all those responses look like blended together, it would be something like this (after all, word clouds seem to be the gateway drug of digital humanities):
A "tourist map" take on digital humanities
But crowd-sourcing isn't the only way to define the field, of course. Another way would be looking to The Digital Humanities Literacy Guidebook. It's a brand-new online resource from Carnegie Mellon University that you can explore to learn more about the field. The website is a self-described "slim guidebook" and "tourist map" to the digital humanities.
They take the position that digital humanities . . .
". . . simultaneously describes a community of practice, a research program, a set of methods, a constellation of publication venues, and a collective ethos that have all stubbornly defied definition since the term first came into use."
(From What are the Digital Humanities?)
A bit of a dodge, but that's ok. I know how they feel.
Overall, the Handbook is a very pretty website, and it's quite fun to click around it. Go check out their Topics page, Project Videos page, and information they've collated about grants, job boards, online courses and textbooks, degree programs, and DH community organizations. It's a great starting point.
Some actual textbook definitions
Because, you know, sometimes the old-fashioned route can be good too! But there's a twist. Again, since it's digital humanities, scholars have made the entire Blackwell's Companion to Digital Humanities free to read online. Also available to read online is Debates in the Digital Humanities, an edited series published biannually which explores current issues in the field. If you want a traditional library deep-dive, this route is for you.
The academics weigh in
In case you're still curious and want a more academic take on the definition, Matthew Kirschenbaum's article in the ADE Bulletin (associated with the Modern Language Association) provides an in-depth dive into all the various iterations of the field.
You may notice, interestingly, that Kirschenbaum never actually defines digital humanities on his own terms. Instead, he simply points out that "what is digital humanities" is already its own genre. Digital humanities is nothing if not open for interpretation.
William Pannapacker takes a similarly open approach. His series of blogposts/articles between 2008-2013 for the Chronicle of Higher Education provide a good introduction to the lay of the land in layperson language: Summer Camp for Digital Humanities, Digital Humanities Triumphant?, Big Tent Digital Humanities: A View From the Edge Part 1, Big Tent Digital Humanities: A View From the Edge Part 2, and Cultivating Partnerships in the Digital Humanities. Pannapacker populates his blogposts with colourful characters (academics in cargo pants) and wry, outsider observations (comparing DH conferences to the glittering awe of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition). But only once does he try to define digital humanities:
"Some uncertainty persists about what characterizes the field besides a spirit of cooperation and an eclectic group of people who identify themselves with it . . . Essentially, the digital humanities seem to be a collective effort to use information technology to improve our understanding of the human experience."
William Pannapacker, The Chronicle of Higher Education
I like this definition – it's clear and straight to the point. Just what we need.
And, come to think of it, that could describe exactly what we're doing with Language in Lyrics. We're trying to construct a Gaelic song database in order to better understand our experience as Gaels, through language and music.
Continuing Debate
Ok, so I think we have a definition of digital humanities now – or at least a few to choose from! But another question remains: has the digital humanities entered the mainstream yet?
The field of digital humanities has been growing over the last two decades, but mainstream acceptance is elusive. In his article in the 2019 edition of Debates in the Digital Humanities, Ted Underwood called it a "semi-normal" thing, but that hanging qualifier – "semi" – persisted. Digital humanities continues to be considered somewhat of an up-and-coming or outsider discipline. For example, the Chronicle of High Education is still publishing polarized articles about it, including a series in Spring 2019 called the "Digital Humanities Wars" about the merits of the discipline. Why this debate?
But let's hit the pause button for now. I don't know about you guys, but my head is just exploding right now. We're going to need fresh eyes to tackle the tangled threads of the digital humanities debate.
We'll explore this debate, as well as some concrete examples of digital humanities projects, in the next #TechTuesday post. We'll also bring all these threads together and explain the ultimate significance of all of this background digital humanities context for Language in Lyrics. See you next time around the kitchen table.

Sophie Nicoline van Waldeck-Pyrmont (Arolsen, 27 juli 1854 – Torquay (Engeland), 5 augustus 1869) was de oudste van de zeven kinderen van George Victor van Waldeck-Pyrmont, vorst van Waldeck en Pyrmont, en Helena, prinses van Nassau. Hiermee is ze een zus van de Nederlandse koningin Emma.

Sophie is op 15-jarige leeftijd te Torquay (Engeland) aan tuberculose gestorven. Haar dood inspireerde koningin Emma tot een levenslange inzet voor de tuberculosebestrijding.

De elfjarige Emma deelde aan haar Engelse gouvernante het overlijden van haar oudste zusje mede. Hiervan is een brief bewaard gebleven. De familie logeerde toen in Torquay in Engeland. Emma schreef in het Engels op 9 augustus 1869:

Josiah Gray (born December 21, 1997) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has played in MLB for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the second round of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft.

Amateur career
After not being heavily recruited out of New Rochelle High School, Gray accepted his only scholarship offer to play college baseball at Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York. He spent his first two seasons at Le Moyne splitting time as a shortstop and a pitcher before transitioning to the mound full-time. As a freshman he had a batting average of just .265 and an earned run average (ERA) of 8.31. After becoming the full-time closer as a sophomore, he posted an ERA of 0.63. In 2017, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Chatham Anglers of the Cape Cod Baseball League. As a junior in 2018, he went 11–0 with a 1.25 ERA in 13 starts.

Professional career

Cincinnati Reds
Gray was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the second round, 72nd overall, of the 2018 MLB draft. He signed and made his professional debut with the Greeneville Reds, going 2–2 with a 2.58 ERA in 12 starts.

Los Angeles Dodgers
On December 21, 2018, the Reds traded Gray, along with Jeter Downs and Homer Bailey, to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Matt Kemp, Yasiel Puig, Alex Wood, Kyle Farmer and cash considerations. He began 2019 with the Single-A Great Lakes Loons, and was promoted to the High-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in May. In July, he was promoted to the Double-A Tulsa Drillers. Between the three levels in 2019, he made 25 starts (and one relief appearance) with an 11–2 record and 2.70 ERA with 147 strikeouts in 130 innings. He was named as the Dodgers Minor League pitcher of the year.

Gray did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.  In 2021, Gray was assigned to the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers, where he was the opening day starter. However, he was shut down after the start and missed the next two months due to a shoulder strain. He rejoined Oklahoma City and pitched in three more games. He had 22 strikeouts against only two walks in 15⅔ innings. On July 20, 2021, Gray was added to the 40-man roster promoted to the major leagues for the first time. He made his MLB debut the same day, pitching four innings and allowing four earned runs (on three home runs) with seven strikeouts versus the San Francisco Giants. His first MLB strikeout was against Wilmer Flores. He appeared in one other game for the Dodgers, making his first MLB start on July 25 against the Colorado Rockies, striking out six in four innings while allowing two runs on three hits and four walks.

Washington Nationals
On July 30, 2021, Gray was traded to the Washington Nationals along with Keibert Ruiz, Donovan Casey, and Gerardo Carrillo in exchange for Max Scherzer and Trea Turner. Gray debuted for Washington on August 2, 2021 vs the Philadelphia Phillies. He allowed four hits and one run over five innings for no decision. On September 22, 2021 Gray recorded his first Major League win in a 6 inning outing against the Miami Marlins, in which he allowed 6 hits and 2 earned runs while recording 8 strikeouts.

In 2022 he was 7-10 with a 5.02 ERA in 148.2 innings, and led the majors in home runs allowed, with 38, and the highest rate of home runs per 9 innings, at 2.3.

Personal life
Gray's father died of cancer a month after he was a second-round draft pick of the Cincinnati Reds. His father suffered a long illness and wasn't able to see Gray pitch often during his last season at Le Moyne. Gray has a girlfriend, Riley Wilde, whom he has been in a relationship with since 2016.

There is a little bit of a love/hate relationship going on with the card I have to show today. It took a few long evenings of work/play to complete, there were lots of mishaps that needed fixing, absolutely nothing on it turned out the way I had envisioned and, I won't lie, it was the source of some Guinness worthy strings of not very nice short words. However, now that it is complete, I am pleased with how it pulled together. I asked my husband if he would buy it for me for my birthday - I just don't want to part with it.
Ok, so I have no idea why the blogger rotated my picture and I am way too tired to spend the time to figure it out... The ribbon is from my stash and the pretty sparkly brad on the bow is from Magnolia. The edge punch is from Martha Stewart and the papers are from the Winter Time line by Echo Park. All the edges were distressed and the papers were matted with card stock from my stash. The sentiment was computer printed and the tag around it is a stamp from Close to my Heart.
Hope you like my card! Thanks for stopping by! And a huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave a comment! I really enjoy reading them!
All of your hard work on this card really paid off! This is beautiful!
I'm a new follower, nice card!
Stunning card Dawn! Thanks for playing along with us for our distressing challenge this week!
Beautifully done...fabulous details! Thanks for Playing in Paradise!
This is just adorable! Love the flowers, they are stunning! Thanks for playing in paradise with us!
I really like your card...great color choices! Thanks for playing along with us at Scrapbooker's Paradise!
WOW! I love your card, Dawn. So pretty! I don't blame you for not wanting to part with it! I love the red and navy and all the gorgeous details. Tilda is so sweet and coloured beautifully! Thanks so much for joining us at MDUC!
Terrific coloring and it must've been so difficult to get that ribbon so perfectly placed!
Oh those flowers are AMAZING! No wonder your poor fingers hurt so bad! This card is adorable, love the image and the border punch, thanks for joining us at Sweet Stampin this week.
Beautiful roses Dawn and totally charming Tilda! Thanks for linking up to the All That Scraps Magnolia "Let's Celebrate Birthdays" Challenge! So glad you did!

The Feminists: Reversal Of Fortune
This was a strange, action-packed day. Before it was time to play I taught some piano lessons, just like I normally do on Friday afternoons. Then after dinner it was off to load in at The Lamplighter. And then, I could return to the comfort of my own home for a couple of hours before it was time to rock. If only I could do that for all the other shows too. I suspect it would vastly improve my outlook.
We have played very few local shows this summer…the last one was a dead Wednesday night in July at The Cobalt, where all the other bands played loud heavy thick hardcore speed metal (and sounded great, I might add), and then we played our happy-sounding power pop which kinda sounded to me like The Muppets had crashed a Black Sabbath house party. During the third song of the set Ferdy accidentally yanked out the cable of my Korg with a particularly energetic Viking stomp and I was rendered mute until I finally managed to find the cable in question, crawling onstage picking through a massive nest of tangled patch cords, while the band played gaily on. That was a fun night. Then there was the Syd Barrett Tribute night also at The Lamplighter in August, but we only played three songs (three fucking fantastic Pink Floyd songs) so it didn't really feel like a show. That was the night I got an emergency phone call at home breathlessly advising us that the order of performers had changed and we would be on within 30 minutes instead of two and a half hours. I dutifully rounded up Grief and Mike and we sped down to the club to meet Ferdy. Whereupon we found him playing solo bass and singing Sid Barrett songs. And then the order changed again, and we sat around for the next three and a half hours waiting to play. That was a fun night too.
Where was I? Oh yes, tour show at The Lamplighter. Morale was quite low after the Victoria debacle. We were expecting nothing except maybe a kick in the teeth. At least we were playing with some of my favorite Vancouver bands, Parlour Steps and Cinderpop.
I arrived just as the first opening band was starting, and there were people in the bar already, a hopeful sign. I thought that perhaps everyone would leave before we went on, but there were even more people when we went on around 11:30. We played a lot of the new songs that will be on the next album. We played a lot of old songs too. They all went well, and our drummer had a shiny new bass drum head. Thus the full glory of the Double Kick was restored and Zobac overwhelmed our senses with his Feet Of Thunder. It was so gratifying to look out over a sea of faces that were turned our way. People clapped and yelled and whooped and soon there was a little pool of dancers that had gathered in front of the stage. The crowd was just so energetic and appreciative – it makes such a difference to play for people who are actually listening. We got paid (!) more than enough to get to the next show in Golden. Lots of people came up to us and said nice things. It was a complete reversal of fortune compared to the night before.
And I got to sleep in my own bed.

Dave Bautista, one of the stars of 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,' opens up about stealing cars, building self-confidence in the gym, chasing wrestling dreams, and gunning for actor street cred.
He was gangly. No, really, the guy you see on these pages—the man who now plays the hulking, lovable character Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, hitting theaters May 5—was a gangly teen. Tall and skinny. Lanky. Shy. Supershy. Awkward. Painfully awkward. Didn't feel like he fit in. Almost ever.
But the one place he wasn't awkward, the one place where he always fit in, was the gym. It was his safe haven, his sanctuary, his nest. Growing up in the D.C. area in the '80s, Dave Bautista always felt at home in the weight room. Like he belonged.
"I was a gym rat," says Bautista.
