Over the past few days, the Necurs spam botnet has increased its activity, sending large amounts of pump-and-dump spam, in which a cheap stock is pushed with the aim of making a profit for those behind the campaign. The Dynamoo blog lists examples of the various emails sent, while Cisco's Talos group provides some context to Necurs' recent activity.
Necurs isn't new: in 2014, Virus Bulletin published a series of articles on the malware by Microsoft researcher Peter Ferrie (1, 2, 3). In fact, Necurs, which used to spread through exploit kits, actually stopped spreading some time ago, meaning that the infections involved in the recent activity will have existed for a long time (thanks to MalwareTech for confirming this).
It therefore doesn't come as a surprise that most of the Necurs spam we see comes from countries like Vietnam, India and Indonesia, where for understandable economic reasons, computer hygiene isn't on par with that in more advanced economies.
The spam itself isn't particularly advanced either, and no effort has been made to bypass spam filters. The emails don't use DKIM, and the MAIL FROM addresses don't appear to have been chosen with the aim of avoiding SPF fails. We looked at one Necurs spam campaign that started this morning and found that most of the spam filters we are currently testing in our lab blocked all of the messages; in fact, all but a handful of IP addresses from which the spam was sent were listed on prominent IP blacklists. It is thus fair to say that very few of the emails in this campaign would have been seen by a human being.
But maybe that doesn't matter for those who hired Necurs to send out the spam: all they would have cared about is that some people would act on the spam and buy the stock, thus increasing its value. Or maybe that trading algorithms scouring the Internet would notice an increase in mentions of the stock and buy it, thus increasing its value. Whatever the reason, the value of the stock did indeed rise.
That doesn't mean that Necurs' clients don't have a reason to complain about the service provided: more than half of the Necurs spam we saw in this particular campaign was sent to email addresses with a made-up local-part, likely a method used by the botnet owners as an easy way to increase numbers. Things change quickly in the global threat landscape, but one thing remains the same: in 2017, you still can't trust spammers.
In the meantime, such campaigns provide interesting possibilities for malware researchers.
I'm wondering about legality of knowingly buying into someone else's pump & dump. I monitor Necurs, so i get the mails before anyone else.


Rationing or cutbacks directly involving patient care within the NHS may or may not be necessary. The Witch Doctor assumes at the present time neither is necessary.
Because no-one has accounted for the waste that is going on within the NHS.
Waste in not prioritising the important from the unimportant.
Waste in continually trying to manage the unmanageable.
Waste in making decisions that even a monkey could, in the blink of an eye, recognise as crazy.
Waste in projects that go well over budget or are abandoned.
Waste from staff faffing about doing things that are of no benefit to patients and of miniscule benefit to themselves.
Until that waste is fully accounted for and corrected, The Witch Doctor is of the opinion it is rather obscene to talk about rationing or cutbacks.
Who in government is measuring the cost of ALL of this waste resulting from inappropriate activity?
Well, a medical blogger is having a go at this.
He / she / they have worked out how to save the NHS over £ 886,626,000 a year.
And that is just for one scam.
The Witch Doctor is not clever enough to verify these figures. Neither is My Black Cat. Nevertheless, black cats have a wisdom all of their own. MBC maintains that if no-one from government challenges these figures either by commenting on this blog or on Nothern Doc's blog, then we should assume that the figures are correct and that the scanning scam wastes about £886,626,000 of taxpayers' money.
However, it seems to The Witch Doctor that this calculation does conceal another happening of a financial nature – one that probably siphons off a few million pounds of money directly from patients' bank accounts into the private sector.
The problem is, The Witch Doctor has to be careful how, or if, she tells you about this, because, as readers of this blog may be aware, she seldom discusses clinical situations concerning patients unless they happened a very long time ago or it involves a very close member of her family.
So, she may or may not tell you sometime about the other side of the scanning scam that she has observed in recent times.

Luca Guadagnino
Dakota Johnson's artsy 'Suspiria' remake falls short
By Colin CovertNovember 1, 2018 GMT
Some film disappointments send you out of the theater flustered, others indignant. "Suspiria" had me perplexed. This artsy reinterpretation of horror maestro Dario Argento's 1977 danse macabre is creepy, violent and, at points, outright appalling. But it isn't frightening. It is a case of wasted arterial spray.
Running 2 ½ hours — almost an hour longer than its hallucinatory predecessor — the new "Suspiria" aims for an aura of eerie anxiety, one slow, bloodstained footstep at a time. The source material, the experiences of a new American ballerina at a creepy German dance academy/witches' coven, remains the same. But it is expanded to cumbersome lengths by director Luca Guadagnino and his writing partner David Kajganich (collaborators on the rock 'n roll love tragedy "A Bigger Splash").
Opening in 1977 with the pedantic subtitle "Six Acts and an Epilogue Set in a Divided Berlin," Patricia (Chloë Grace Moretz) runs through an ominous rainstorm to the office of her psychotherapist, Dr. Klemperer (Tilda Swinton, although the role, one of three handled by Swinton, is credited to the fictitious Lutz Ebersdorf).
A former member of Berlin's renowned all-female Markos dance troupe, Patricia is all jittering nerves and obsessive babblings. The troupe, overseen by Helena Markos (Swinton again) has messed with her head, she insists. Then she's gone, leaving behind a diary full of scribbled rants and occult symbols, alchemical designs echoed by mosaics on the cavernous dance school's floors, just so you notice.
Arriving to fill the opening that Patricia's disappearance has caused is Susie (Dakota Johnson), who has run away from her Mennonite roots in Ohio to follow her instinctive calling to join the dance ensemble that has fascinated her for years. Her raw energy fascinates the school's choreographer, Madame Blanc (Swinton one more time). Susie is given a full scholarship and is moved into the school's on-site dormitory with a friendly roommate, Sara (Mia Goth).
Through half-overheard dialogue and hinting implications from the female faculty, we learn that someone is going to be inducted to the school's very exclusive inner circle. Others will be expelled in appallingly violent ways.
The troupe's lead dancer angrily announces that she will follow Patricia's departure from the academy. In a sequence shared in the film's trailers — no spoiler — the deserter is more or less possessed by Susie's dancing one floor above, being thrown around a deserted rehearsal room with her writhing body being contorted and snapped like Silly Putty. After much squabbling over the school's internal politics, the entire staff shares similar experiences.
What does it all add up to? A dreamy, unreal film engorged with cryptic complexities, red herrings, twisty turns and Easter eggs but few of the first edition's devilish, pulpy thrills. It's not that Gaudagnino is a careless filmmaker. I suspect that he genuinely wanted us to feel uncertain and unnerved but went too far down a zigzag narrative path.

A $44 million investment in Victoria is now returning great benefits for the environment and local home builders.
Thanks to smart technology and thoughtful planning, the new Austral Bricks plant at Wollert promises to be one of the most resource efficient of its kind in the world. "We are investing in the Company's future prosperity and the future of the environment for all Australians," Brickworks MD Lindsay Partridge said when the project began in 2006.
The plant now produces enough low cost, premium quality bricks for more than 12,000 typical Melbourne homes. It's been built close to current and future clay and shale reserves in nearby open quarries, and almost all minerals extracted are useable in construction. It's also situated within coo'ee of Melbourne's new developments, reducing the haulage footprint of the brick products.
A careful combination of scale, automation, efficient design, 24/7 operation and using variable-speed electric drives (in place of hydraulic or pneumatic drives) means that electricity consumed is one third less than that of a comparable conventional plant. The kilns also use less gas, and their heat is the only energy needed to dry the new bricks.
Working in tandem with less energy consumption, a state-of-the-art granulated limestone scrubber on the kiln stack reduces greenhouse gas emissions to well below legal limits. And the limestone waste is then recycled as an additive in concrete masonry units. Water used in the brick making process is all harvested on site and stored in deep reservoirs.
Production waste is returned to the mix, while post-production waste is collected and crushed for return. Even worn machine parts are sent for recycling. Once finished and checked for quality, brick packs are simply polyester strapped for transport to building sites, eliminating the need for full plastic shrink-wrapping and timber pallets.
Like the best stories, this one has a very happy ending. After the quarries around the Wollert plant have been mined, they will be filled with organic waste and clean filled, before being replanted with an 'eco-system' of native grasses and trees.


New Zealand might be the next country to completely block pirated content websites like The Pirate Bay. Sky TV is a Hollywood's Motion Picture Distributors' Association based in New Zealand. Well, Sky TV is taking the problem of pirated content seriously and has decided to take the matter to court this year.
Sky TV plans to completely eradicate The Pirate Bay and an unnamed sports streaming site. According to an extensive piracy survey, 29% of all internet users in New Zealand have downloaded or streamed pirated sports and entertainment content. Furthermore, users prefer pirated content due to lack of legal viewing options.
Sky spokesperson Sophie Moloney says, "We've known that piracy is a problem for a while, but the scale is even bigger than we thought,".
"If piracy remains unchecked, it risks really hurting the sports and entertainment industry in New Zealand, and our ability to create great content," she adds.
"Other countries are taking steps to stop piracy and encourage people not to steal content, and we want to do the same here in New Zealand, including by way of blocking pirate websites," Sky TV's Moloney says.
"Site-blocking is used in 42 countries around the world, including Australia and the UK. It's good to see that many New Zealanders would prefer that these dodgy sites are blocked from view using this approach," Moloney notes.
Pirate Bay is being blocked in a majority of countries. In a decade or so, we may even witness the complete abolition of this popular pirated content platform. That said, if you still prefer pirated content then these Pirate Bay alternatives might help you.

Nickelodeon to launch stand-alone streaming service
Philippe Dauman
American businessman and Former CEO of Viacom
Nickelodeon, the children's cable channel known for "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Dora the Explorer," will launch an online streaming video channel this year, parent company Viacom said Thursday.
The announcement is the latest by a media group to connect directly with consumers without a cable or satellite subscription, and follows announcements by CBS, Time Warner's HBO and others.
Viacom chief executive Philippe Dauman told an earnings conference call the new "direct-to-consumer subscription service" would be launched in March.
"We believe this innovative service, which will have a distinct brand and will target the fast-growing mobile market, will be very attractive for parents and children," Dauman said, noting that details will be announced next month.
The Nickelodeon channel is aimed at children, with offerings such as "SpongeBob" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
The move comes amid growing interest in Web-based services to deliver television such as Netflix, allowing viewers to bypass traditional cable or satellite services.
"New digital entrants are providing expansion opportunities as well as sparking industry-wide innovation," Dauman said, noting the Viacom expanded an agreement with Hulu and renewed a deal with Amazon.
Two Viacom channels, MTV and Comedy Central, are working with the online service Snapchat for its service offering short videos.
In the past quarter, Viacom reported a profit of $500 million on revenues of $3.3 billion.
The company also operates the Paramount studios, Britain's Channel 5 and a number of other cable television channels.

Philanthropist questioned by Israeli security after visiting Palestinian areas
Determining a 'threat'Israeli security probe Jewish donor after Palestinian trip
Meyer Koplow, a longtime donor to pro-Israel causes, believes he was called for questioning after airport security found a brochure in his luggage titled "This Week in Palestine."
By Ben Sales	July 27, 2018, 9:43 am 0 Edit

NEW YORK — A prominent Jewish philanthropist says he was aggressively questioned by Israeli airport security after going on a Jewish tour of Palestinian areas of the West Bank.
Meyer Koplow, chair of Brandeis University's board of trustees and a longtime donor to pro-Israel causes, was delayed for 30 minutes by a security agent at Ben Gurion International Airport July 15 before being allowed to board his flight. Koplow's visit to Israel included a trip to the West Bank with Encounter Programs, a nonpartisan organization that brings Jews to Palestinian areas to meet Palestinians and see their society firsthand.
He believes he was called for questioning after security personnel found a brochure in his luggage titled "This Week in Palestine," which he had picked up in a Bethlehem hotel lobby. Agents had placed a note in the same pocket of his luggage informing him that the bag "was opened for the purpose of carrying out a security check."
Koplow was questioned by a security agent for 10 minutes in the departure hall, after which he was told to wait and eventually allowed to board his flight.
"The best way I can describe it is a badgering form of questioning where before you finish giving one answer, you're being asked the same question again as if what you said is not credible," Koplow said. "She asked what purpose could possibly be served by people visiting the territories. She asked that several times."
(Full disclosure: This reporter was a participant on the same Encounter tour that Koplow attended last week. Participants left Israel separately, and this reporter was not at the airport while Koplow was questioned.)
Koplow said he appreciates Israeli personnel checking luggage for the purposes of security, but he feels that the questioning he experienced "goes a level beyond that."
"I applaud the careful security, including examining people's luggage," he said. "But not for materials that they're taking with them out of the country that aren't in the nature of what you would call classified materials. Why would you do that, other than to send a message that the government doesn't welcome your engaging in any kind of inquiry?"
Koplow was disturbed as well by "the manner of the continued implication that I wasn't telling the truth or all of the truth," he said. He added that describing his past involvement with Jewish and Israeli causes did not change the tenor of the interrogation, which was conducted in public view.
In addition to his position at Brandeis, Koplow is a board member of the UJA-Federation in New York and has served as the president of his synagogue, Young Israel of New Rochelle. He said that he has given millions of dollars to Israeli causes.
"The most disturbing question she asked me, and she asked me more than once, was what was I going to do with the information I learned in the territories?" Koplow said. "What business is it of security at departure as to what I'm thinking or what I might say?"
Koplow subsequently spoke with Dani Dayan, Israel's consul general in New York, who apologized for the incident while justifying the questioning on security grounds.
"We intend to continue with a clean sheet even if it means paying a price on other fronts," Dayan wrote in an email to Koplow on Tuesday. "That price includes sometimes our image being damaged. The total and complete security of our aviation and its passengers is and will continue to be our first priority. All other considerations are subordinated to that."
But Dayan wrote he regretted how Koplow was treated.
"I wish to express once more my sorrow for the inconvenience and embarrassment caused to you," he wrote. "I hope your next departure from Ben Gurion Airport will be more pleasant."
Koplow said that the incident will not deter him from visiting or engaging with Israel in the future.
His story first appeared in a Twitter thread about the incident written by his son, Michael Koplow, policy director at the Israel Policy Forum, a group that advocates for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The younger Koplow wrote that his father's story "is a perfectly sad microcosm of everything wrong with the way Israel treats information as a threat and American Jews as objects of suspicion."
"We have moved from Israel being worried about tangible security threats, to treating BDS advocates and protestors as if they are security threats, to treating any evidence of basic engagement with Palestinians as security threats," Michael Koplow wrote, using an acronym denoting the movement to boycott, divest from and sanction Israel. "Simple information is treated as dangerous." PJC

Ed Sheeran says he 'almost killed' Elton John while filming their Christmas music video
Pop sensation Ed Sheeran has confessed that while filming his new Christmas song's video with Elton John he kicked a present which narrowly missed the veteran singer's head

Pop sensation Ed Sheeran has revealed he "almost killed" Sir Elton John as the pair recorded the video for their new Christmas jingle.
The pair have come together to release the hit which is tipped to reach the number one spot this festive period, but Ed, 30, admits he nearly caused chaos on set.
The Castle on the Hill singer described how he mistakenly booted a gift with a bell towards the music icon and only just missed hitting him on the head with it.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Ed said: "I almost killed him with a bell on the video.
"I'm dressed up as a sort of sexy Santa Claus and I kick a present, but the present had a big metal bell on top of it.

"I showed him the footage of it today because we slowed it down, and the bell flew past his head and would have cracked him in the head.
"Oh my gosh the horror that went through my body when it was flying through the air."
Despite the incident, the flame haired star said he had a brilliant time filming the video, calling it "wild".
He described how the pair created a parody video of past Christmas songs, recreating footage from The Snowman, East 17 and Wham's Last Christmas.
Ed admitted that prior to the tune - which he was actually inspired for last year - he had never fancied created a festive number at this stage of his career.
"It is always the type of thing that I thought I would do when I was 60," he claimed. "My manager said he would retire if I made a Christmas album."
And he confessed that if it wasn't for working with the Step into Christmas star he wouldn't have created it at all.
He continued: "I've always wanted to work with him and this made most sense."
Ed confessed he wrote the chorus for the song as soon as Elton asked him to perform with him (Image: Ed Sheeran/Youtube)
Ed had previously opened up about the tune on The Jonathan Ross Show last month.
While he said he initially said no to a song being recorded and released this year, Elton worked his magic and persuaded him that the time was right for it to happen now.
Ed revealed to Jonathan that he wrote the chorus straight away but hadn't planned on recording it just yet. He said: "I had a really, really close friend of mine pass away in March and Elton started ringing me everyday.
"And part of me thought why am I pushing this off? Tomorrow is not promised."
Profits from the single are being donated to Elton's AIDS Foundation and arts funding.

Video discusses how and why people often continue to smoke even though smoking is causing them crippling or life threatening consequences.
Quitting Smoking: A Fate Worse than Death?
People sitting in at smoking clinics are amazed at how resistant smokers are to giving up cigarettes. Even smokers will sit and listen to horror stories of other participants in sheer disbelief. Some smokers have had multiple heart attacks, circulatory conditions resulting in amputations, cancers, emphysema and a host of other disabling and deadly diseases.
How in the world could these people have continued smoking after all that? Some of these smokers are fully aware that smoking is crippling and killing them, but continue to smoke anyway. A legitimate question asked by any sane smoker or nonsmoker is, "why?"
The answer to such a complex issue is really quite simple. The smoker often has cigarettes so tied into his lifestyle that he feels when he gives up smoking he will give up all activities associated with cigarettes. Considering these activities include almost everything he does from the time he awakes to the time he goes to sleep, life seems like it will not be worth living as an ex-smoker.
The smoker is also afraid he will experience the painful withdrawal symptoms from not smoking as long as he deprives himself of cigarettes. Considering all this, quitting smoking creates a greater fear than dying from smoking.
If the smoker were correct in all his assumptions of what life as an ex-smoker were like, then maybe it would not be worth it to quit. But all these assumptions are wrong.
There is life after smoking, and withdrawal does not last forever. Trying to convince the smoker of this, though, is quite an uphill battle. These beliefs are deeply ingrained and are conditioned from the false positive effects experienced from cigarettes.
The smoker often feels that he needs a cigarette in order to get out of bed in the morning. Typically, when he awakes he feels a slight headache, tired, irritable, depressed and disoriented. He is under the belief that all people awake feeling this way.
He is fortunate though, because he has a way to stop these horrible feelings. He smokes a cigarette or two. Then he begins waking up and feels human again. Once he is awake, he feels he needs cigarettes to give him energy to make it through the day. When he is under stress and nervous, the cigarettes calm him down. Giving up this wonder drug seems ludicrous to him.
But if he quits smoking he will be pleasantly surprised to find out that he will feel better and be able to cope with life more efficiently than when he was a smoker. When he wakes up in the morning, he will feel tremendously better than when he awoke as a smoker. No longer will he drag out of bed feeling horrible. Now he will wake up feeling well rested and refreshed.
In general, he will be calmer than when he smoked. Even when under stress, he normally will not experience the panic reactions he used to feel whenever his nicotine level fell below acceptable levels.
The belief that cigarettes were needed for energy is one of the most deceptive of all. Almost any ex-smoker will attest that he has more strength, endurance, and energy than he ever did as a smoker. And the fear of prolonged withdrawal also had no merit, for withdrawal symptoms would peak within three days, and totally subside within two weeks.
If any smoker just gives himself the chance to really feel how nice not smoking is, he will no longer have the irrational fears which keeps him maintaining his deadly addiction. He will find life will become simpler, happier, cleaner, and most importantly healthier, than when he was a smoker. His only fear will now be in relapsing to smoking and all he has to do to prevent this is - NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!


Since the 2008 financial crisis, US car sales have been making a comeback, topping 17 million light vehicles since 2015, for the first time since 2001. Car sales started dipping toward 17 million in 2017, though, and forecasts predict further slowing of the automotive market, perhaps 16.8 million for 2018. September 2018 marks the end of 3rd quarter sales, and the results were encouraging, topping 1.4 million units. It even helped bump the seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) back up over 17.3 million vehicles, but not everyone is celebrating.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) posted the biggest gains in September, driven by higher Dodge, RAM, and Jeep sales. Dodge led the way with 40.6-percent increased sales, Alfa Romeo 29.3 percent higher, Jeep 14.1 percent higher, and RAM 9.2 percent higher.
In fact, FCA posted its highest sales in nearly two decades, a full 25 percent of those sales increases going to fleet expansions and replacements. Much of FCA's success can be attributed to its new focus on SUVs and CUVs, which is proving to be more popular than sedans and hatchbacks. Not all FCA sales were golden, though, such as Chrysler, down 6.8 percent, Jeep Renegade, down 9.9 percent, and Fiat, down a staggering 46.3 percent.
On the other hand, where there are winners, there are losers. Ford and Japan's big-three all posted declining US car sales in September 2018. Though the Ford F-150 series is still the Nation's best-selling vehicle, and Ford accounted for 13.1 percent of overall sales, the rest of the lineup didn't do so well, a 17 percent drop overall. Lexus was down 6.1 percent, Toyota down 10.9 percent, Nissan down 13.3 percent, and Mazda down 17.4 percent.
Analysts suggests the drop is a result of consumer's preferences tending towards SUVs and CUVs, which favors automakers specializing in these. Sedan and hatchback sales are dropping, while truck sales remain steady. Overall car sales in September 2018, though, are dropping most likely do to higher interest rates and higher vehicle pricing.
Compared to last year, average new car financing interest rates have jumped a whole point, from 4.8 percent last year to 5.8 percent this year. In September 2018, just 5.6 percent of buyers can take advantage of 0-percent loans, down from 10.1 percent last year. Finally, the average new car is getting more expensive. Average new car prices in September 2018 were $35,742, two percent higher than last year.
Forecasters suggest the US car sales slump is only temporary, though. If the economy stays strong and the Federal Reserve Bank isn't too aggressive setting interest rates, we could see annual car sales topping 17 million in 2019 and 2020. Only time will tell if current trends will continue, and whether Ford and Japan can crawl their way back to the top.

From Mecca With Love

The Mecca Tales
Written by Rohina Malik
Directed by Kareem Famhy
Presented by Voyage Theater Company and Crossroads Theatre Company at The Sheen Center, NYC
The Hajj, the pilgrimage of Muslims to Mecca, is the largest yearly gathering of people in the world, attracting two to three million pilgrims. A pillar of Islam, the Hajj provides the setting and structure for Rohina Malik's The Mecca Tales, which premiered in Chicago in 2015 and is now making its debut in New York. Its tales are those of five women whose progress along the road to Mecca also marks their difficult progress towards self-determination.
The women whose physical, emotional, and spiritual journeys we follow compose a travel group led by Grace (Kimberly S. Fairbanks), the group's New York-based organizer and guide. She mentions that the government of Saudi Arabia requires pilgrims to be part of a travel group, and she has dedicated the last decade of her life to this work. (The 2017 pilgrimage tote bags that the women sport early on are both a nice touch and an eloquent comment on the political and commercial encroachment on a religious tradition.) The group, composed otherwise of first-timers, is made up of women from diverse backgrounds. Grace is an African-American woman whose conversion to Islam prior to 9/11 was met with familial disapproval. Maya (Mariam Habib) is a war refugee from an unspecified Middle-Eastern country (it is tempting to assume Syria); Malika (Jade Radford) is an African-American med student from a single-parent household; Alma (Cynthia Bastidas) hails originally from Argentina and is married to a British husband; and Bina (Gulshan Mia) is a well-off housewife and mother of Pakistani ethnicity, married to a successful Pakistani neurosurgeon. Each of these travelers has her own reason for joining the pilgrimage, and each, including Grace, also has attendant impediments that she must overcomes and leave behind. That, due to overcrowding, their bus is prevented by police from proceeding to the tents that they paid to stay in symbolizes the challenges that will face them in breaking free of what hinders them, but it also leads to a question that is central to the play as a whole: why did you come here?
As we get to know these women, part of the answer for each to that question comes in often tragic flashbacks, which include some doubling by the cast, as well as multiple appearances by a mysterious woman (and perhaps a conceptual nod to Chaucerian forebearers). Maya, as a refugee and single parent, fights to make ends meet, while Alma's attachment to her own child (and, thus, her husband) is troubled. Malika studies medicine because it is her father's dream that she become a doctor, not her own, and Grace has suffered the consequences of her son's battle with drug abuse. Bina's problem, daughters who are artists and not lawyers or doctors and who wish to marry for love rather than status, seems more humorous than the others, and her melodramatic flashback lives up to that expectation, but she also reveals real, humanizing damage at the heart of her domestic life. It is significant, in fact, that these women's misfortunes all stem from specific males, representing patriarchal structures more broadly, that they share and work through them while any male relatives who made the trip are segregated on their own bus, and that their surviving children are all themselves female.
This multivalent narrative unspools on a terrific set designed by David Esler, featuring an intricately decorated circular stage augmented by images projected on a curved area at the rear. Fairbanks graces that stage (pun sheepishly intended) with a performance that exudes a strength and resolve that must paradoxically be set aside to render it more than defensive. Mia imbues Bina's comic elitism with compelling complexity, embodying her with lots of great, small, unspoken character moments. Bastidas and Habib bring effective pathos to Alma and Maya's experiences, and Radford adds a winning enthusiasm to Malika's. Finally, it would be an easy mistake to overlook the skill necessary for Louis Sallan, who plays every male in the play in their brief appearances, to successfully delineate each as a clear, distinct character.
The Mecca Tales is an earnest drama that rests its overarching optimism on an individual humanism (facilitated, in the climax of play, by a community of women). With its heterogenous characters, it also works against any monolithic notion of Muslim womanhood. Malik's foregrounding of underrepresented voices enriches the tapestry of contemporary American theater. - Leah Richards and John Ziegler

A military ruling in 1858 introduced the striped tee to the official wardrobe of quartermasters and sailors in the French Navy with its very specific characteristics: 21 white stripes measuring 20mm and 20 or 21 blue stripes measuring 10mm. The 20th century brought this nautical motif into the mainstream. Sailors in the Merchant Navy as well as fishermen and the boating community brought it onboard and it wasn't long before it became a fashion must-have picked up by creatives and intellectuals (think Coco Chanel, Pablo Picasso). Ever since then, celebrities and fashion designers have turned it into a symbol of vintage French fashion – universal and timeless.
Its straight and lightly fitted shape make it suitable for men and women alike. Please refer to the sizing guide above to identify your best fit.

Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner says just having an American in F1 is not enough to keep US interested in the sport

Logan Sargeant will race in F1 next season for Williams, the first US driver since 2015.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner was asked about the impact of a US driver on the grid.
He said the impact won't be enough if he is not challenging for wins.
Next year, Formula One will have its first American driver in years, but according to one of the sport's biggest names, the cultural impact in the United States might be less than many have predicted.
Williams Racing recently announced that 21-year-old American Logan Sargeant would replace Nicholas Latifi in their lineup for the 2023 season. Sargeant will be the first American driver in F1 since current IndyCar driver Alexander Rossi started five races in 2015 and the first full-time US driver since Scott Speed, who raced for Toro Rosso in 2006 and 2007.
Before the Williams announcement, Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing's team principal, was asked about the growth of the sport in the US while a guest on Bloomberg's "Power Players." He spoke about the potential impact of an American driver with a set of criteria Sargeant will struggle to achieve.
"I think it is a matter of keeping them engaged," Horner said, referring to how to keep Americans interested beyond the popular Netflix series, "Drive to Survive." "I think we ultimately also need a home hero. We need an American driver that's not just there for the sake of it, but that is there competing at the front for world championships and race victories."
Before Sargeant was promoted from F2, there was considerable debate over the importance of having an American driver for the US fans and whether a team might hire one just for the sake of having one.

Sargeant is a talented driver — he finished 4th in F2 this season and won two races — so he is not just in F1 for the sake of being an American in F1. However, he is not expected to be competing for championships and race wins anytime soon. Instead, he will likely spend a lot of time at or near the back of the field for a Williams team that finished last in 2022.
According to Horner, one significant impact on the American sports fan is already happening: growing interest from US companies.
"It's incredible," Horner said. "We've got several US-based partners now. We've got a title partner in Oracle joining us this year. We have companies like AT&T. We announced American entities, Exxon Mobil, for example. It's great to see so many American companies coming and getting involved in the sport.

And it is not just Red Bull. There has been an influx of companies based in the US or with strong American ties working with other teams and F1 as a whole.
One such example is F1's new deal with Lenovo, the China-based technology company with a strong presence in the US. In its first year as an F1 partner, Lenovo is already a title sponsor for two races, in addition to providing technology to F1.
A large part of that newfound attraction is a growing perception, especially in the US, that F1 is the pinnacle of innovation.
"What could be the more premium sport than Formula One to really align around the brand?" Gerald Youngblood, the chief marketing officer for Lenovo North America, recently told Insider. "There are also very practical benefits in terms of aligning and visibility of our brand with other brands that share that drive for innovation and have an audience that can appreciate the story that Lenovo is telling."
That perception of F1 is not new to their hardcore fan but is in the corporate world. Five years ago, F1 had a single technology partner. In addition to Lenovo, F1 now has partnered with several tech companies, including American-based businesses such as AWS and Zoom.

Ignorance is not knowing, not knowing the facts, and not understanding the consequences of not knowing the facts. Arrogance, on the other hand, is the belief that one is infallible, infallible in wisdom, infallible in decision, infallible in action. Combine the two within one individual and you've got a very dangerous person standing next to you, dangerous to both themselves and those standing around them, including you.
During the Viet Nam War, conscripted men unlucky enough to find themselves under the command of an arrogantly ignorant superior officer soon found themselves thinking, "Why don't I just put a bullet in this guy?" Some of those same men didn't just think, moan and groan, and eventually acquiesce, as did most. Instead, they acted. And more than one arrogant ignorant superior officer finished with an unexpectedly short career.
For those few radically independent thinking soldiers, an already dangerous reality came down to obediently following orders that threatened the mission and needlessly placed lives in danger, or indisputably sacrificing their own good name, honor, and career for the welfare of fellow soldiers and the mission. Not a trivial choice. Not an inconsequential choice. Not a comfortable choice for anyone. But, it's an old story contemplated many times before. Mutiny on the Bounty is one version. There are countless others. But, who is to say such a decision to act isn't also born of one's own arrogant ignorance? Several of the Bounty's mutineers were brought to trial over that same conjecture. Three were hung.
There is a classic social psychology experiment done long ago wherein subjects were placed within a kind of jury tasked with deciding if one of three lines drawn upon a piece of paper was shorter or longer or the same length as the other two. Unbeknownst to the real subject, other jury members were not subjects like themselves, but confederates. Their covert task was to secretly agree amongst themselves as to what the "correct answer" should be, then voice that answer before the lone subject voiced his or her choice. Not surprisingly, a significant number of experimental subjects agreed with the confederates' choice, even though that answer was objectively false. The lesson from that experiment is that peer pressure appealing to an innate human desire to belong, to not appear different or uncomfortably contradictory, often wins out over any desire to be correct or even honest.
Our collective understanding of reality is undeniably a work in progress, like the story of the five blind men comparing their individual experiences of an elephant. None of us has within our heads the entire complete picture of what we all, or even most of us, are dealing with. But to imagine we ourselves totally understand reality independent of and in spite of facts, with insight no one else possesses, is surely folly of the highest order, something way beyond confidence, or faith, or even admirable independent scholarship. To those of us tasked with suffering the consequences of such a person, may we all at some point consider the soldier's/sailor's dilemma, reconsider the actual facts, and somehow find courage enough to act constructively, but in decisive defiance, for the widest greatest truest good.
Muscle, bull headedness, cruelty, selfishness, and bombast are not, never have been, and never will be sustainable substitutes for wise and socially responsible good judgement based upon well reasoned and well researched facts, facts taken in context with long considered perspective.
Let us all hope the road ahead tends toward enlightened sustainability instead of darkening chaos born of fear and the recklessness of arrogant ignorance.

Back to the 1950s with Fairy liquid's sexist advert
I know I shouldn't give Proctor and Gamble the publicity, but I do feel that it's also important to dissect adverts which display blatant sexism or other outdated social mores. This is their latest effort, for the Olympics.
"It takes a lot of dishes and a lot of washing up, for Mum to build an athlete" reinforces the idea that women do the domestic chores in service to the males of the house. It's just wrong on so many levels. Maybe Proctor and Gamble aren't aware, but women are actually taking part in the Olympics now, you know.
I have to give a big hat tip to former LYS President Sophie Bridger who originally spotted this. She actually wrote to Proctor and Gamble to protest about it, telling them:
The implication being that washing up is purely women's work is incredibly sexist. The unequal distribution of domestic responsibilities has held women back for generations, and continues to hinder women's progression in the workplace. And yet you appear to think that this is perfectly acceptable – mum will cook and wash up the dishes, and her little boy will grow up to a big strong athlete. Not her daughter of course, who is now far too busy washing up her own children's dishes.
The company sent back to her a generic response which showcased the writer's ability to copy and paste rather than reply to specific points:
We live in a multi-cultural society and, as such, we know that consumers from all ethnic backgrounds use our products, both for themselves and for their families. Indeed, as a Global company, practicing equal opportunities, our own employees reflect the diversity within the local populations. Obviously, it is not our intention to exclude any individual from our advertising, whether this be on the basis of ethnic background, disability, sex, height, hair colour, regional accent, etc. I am truly sorry that you feel we have in any way been deliberately exclusionary.
On the other hand, it would be unrealistic to expect that all sections of our community can be represented at all times. When people are chosen to appear in our advertising campaigns (TV, posters, direct mailing materials etc) we choose those who we think represent the majority of our target market for that particular campaign. Many factors have to be considered in the selection process. Ethnic background is something we are aware of, but it is not the main reason for choosing (or not choosing) a particular person to represent us.
Sophie wrote to them again asking for an analysis on the proportion of men and women shown washing up in their ads. I vaguely remember a bloke doing some washing up once - but that was with a Power Spray for proper dirt that, presumably, weak women couldn't possibly get off themselves. I had a look around on the internet for it, but could only find one video that must have been a spoof because it's so terrible.
I know what brand of washing up liquid I'll be avoiding from now on. If you agree, why not write to Proctor and Gamble to register your displeasure with this advert? You can contact them at pg_weconsumerrelations@mailnj.custhelp.com.

I've written to them - will update when/if I receive a reply.
getho said...
the advertisers are missing a trick here. research has shown that men who do more domestic chores have a more sexually active partnership. Its an obvious tack to take, it would please their partners more than this misogynistic broken record, and it would at least show men in a domestic role. (Which I would say is more important in the long run than the flipside of producing the expectation of sex just for doing the dishes). So heres another tack: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/lifestyle/2012/06/doing-chores-makes-many-men-happiest/

Stephen Kerr Conservative, Stirling 3:15 pm, 23rd May 2019
I welcome that intervention. In fact, that is exactly what I am saying. Speaking as a Conservative and a Unionist, I wish that we could get past all the unending and, frankly, fruitless discussions about constitutional arrangements, and talk about policies that improve the life opportunities of people in Scotland. I completely agree with the hon. Gentleman, but we need to address the issue of the governance of Scotland to be able to bridge the gap, in constitutional machinery terms, that allows the SNP the breathing space to fester the grievances that it is busy manufacturing while he and I are sitting here.
Our article goes on to say that the Department for the Union
"could be part of the constitutional jigsaw that would solve some of the problems the country will face in the future if they are not addressed. This department would be of such importance that we suggest the leader of it should be one of the five great offices of state: joining Prime Minister, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary. They would be supported by a group of senior ministers representing Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland.
A Department for the Union at Whitehall would be responsible for maintaining and enhancing the regulatory and governmental framework of our United Kingdom. Hearing the voices of English, Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish ministers, businesses in each sector, and civic bodies would allow for a regulatory framework which works for our whole United Kingdom. Within this framework, devolved governments would be able to adjust policies to suit the individual needs of each country of the United Kingdom whilst protecting the cohesion of the single market of one of the largest economies in the world. This department could work closely on future constitutional change and make informal arrangements such as joint ministerial committees more formal and effective. One of the SNP's arguments for independence is that the Scottish Government is not treated with respect by the UK government. We reject that claim, but a Department for the Union would put it to bed, and would encourage a better working relationship between the two governments in the interests of all the people of Scotland."
I am very grateful for the indulgence of the House in being able to share these ideas today.
I worry not just about our democracy, in the way that was referenced earlier, but about the fragility of the Union. I sometimes think that what Mr Sweeney said about Punch and Judy constitutional politics is replicated in this House, because some people think that the Union is something that the Scots debate, or is about the issue of a border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. The fact is that we all have a vested interest in the health, wellbeing and future security of the Union. This is a time to end the division and rancour that the Scottish Government have consistently created, and to end the building of walls between people in Scotland and people in the rest of the UK. It is a time for the UK Government and this Parliament to put their shoulder to the wheel in Scotland and help to bring people together.

Yes, the end of 2015 is truly upon us, and so as promised, I must offer the second part of my rundown of my 10 maddest moments in Southend politics.
Honestly, distilling it down to 10 was hard work. Deciding what got the top spot was harder still. It's been a fun year, but looking back over it is more a cavalcade of the weird and wonderful. For those of you who haven't read it yet, here is the first part, running through numbers 10 to 6.
Here is my top five, of the maddest moments in Southend local politics in 2015.

My docker image run perfectly under ec2 public ip address:

What I want now is to create a subdomain: portainer.mydomain.com and pointed it to my EC2 portainer instance.
When I try to create a new record set portainer.mydomaon.com and point it to my docker image instance I can't specify the port value.
I know I miss something, I'm on my beginning on DNS domains.

A: Route 53 is a DNS resolver. Its job is to resolve domain to ip address. It has nothing to do with port.
But there are some alternatives:

*

*Add a secondary ip to the instance to host multiple websites and bind them to port 80. You add an additional ip by attaching elastic network interface (ENI).

*Add Application Load Balancer with host based routing (you will get much more control, you can even do path based routing as well). See: Listeners for Your Application Load Balancers - Elastic Load Balancing

*S3 redirection (Route 53 Record Set on Different Port)

Our national public affairs service leader Elizabeth Roscoe recently spoke at the Government Relations and Effective Lobbying conference in Toronto, presented by the Canadian Institute.
The topic of Elizabeth's presentation was "Analyzing the Effects of Public Affairs and Government Relations in M&A and Big Transactions".
Those who are involved in the M&A field having been looking carefully at the federal government Budget Implementation Bill C-60, tabled on Monday, April 29th. The bill sets out the government's approach to changing the Investment Canada Act as it pertains to state-owned enterprises acquiring Canadian companies operating in the oil sands. The legislation follows the governments review of the CNOOC/Nexen transaction as well as the Petronas/Progress acquisition.
Here is an article that ran recently in the LobbyMonitor.ca that outlined the presentation and some key trends and issues to look at in this field going forward.
Hunter and Elizabeth Roscoe, a Hill+Knowlton Strategies consultant, spoke on a panel at the Canadian Institute's "Government Relations and Effective Lobbying" conference Tuesday in Toronto. The two consultants, both of whom lobbied for Chinese state-owned oil company CNOOC in its acquisition of Calgary-based Nexen last year, agreed the government has left the act's "net benefit" test largely undefined in order to take the political circumstances of the day into account when deciding on each proposed deal.
Companies trying to prove their deal passes the net benefit test never directly meet with the industry minister who is ultimately responsible for approving the deal, said Hunter. Instead, company officials and their lobbyists pitch strategic offers to bureaucrats and wait for political approval. Communication reports show Roscoe and Hill+Knowlton chairman and CEO Michael Coates met with senior bureaucrats in March 2012 and again in July, shortly before the deal was announced. Consultants met with a senior PMO official and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty the day before making the announcement.
Consultant lobbyists should advise clients they will face more than one set of negotiations, and political decision makers may send proposed deals back to bureaucrats, asking for more from bidding companies, said Hunter.
CNOOC told the federal government and opposition it would maintain jobs, boost investment and establish headquarters for North and Central America in Canada as part of its bid.
Consultants should help companies plan communications and analyze political risk before they announce a bid for a Canadian company, said Roscoe. Activist investors, Canadian protectionism, and media coverage need to be accounted for in these plans.
The federal government takes the broad economic impact of proposed acquisitions into account, as well as how they will resonate with voters, particularly at the party base, she said.
The federal government is driven by pragmatism, not ideology, and a government relations strategy should take government's "risk mitigation" into account.
Provincial governments can play a key role in whether deals are approved or not, the consultants agreed. Provinces are interested in how transactions affect their employees, economic growth and industry "value" chains, Roscoe said.
Lobbying provincial governments means making the most of relationships with bureaucrats and politicians, and doing so early, said Hunter, adding BHP Billiton's 2010 attempt to acquire Potash Corp. failed in part because of Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall's opposition to the deal.
Timing is another important factor, said Hunter. U.S. retailer Lowe's' attempt to acquire Boucherville, Que.-based Rona last year was likely abandoned in part because it was proposed during the run-up to a Quebec election, during which the province's major parties opposed the deal, he said.
Getting the public onside requires a "transaction narrative," a rehearsed storyline of who will benefit from the acquisition and why it is important. Communications should be tailored for each group affected by the deal without appearing to say "different things to different audiences," Roscoe said.
Companies trying to complete a low-profile acquisition in politically sensitive industries risk being undercut by opposing voices on social and mainstream media. Instead, they should be "very proactive" getting out their message on the acquisition and countering opposing voices, she said.
Hunter also discussed the government's Dec. 7 promise to scrutinize acquisitions by state owned enterprises (SOEs) more carefully and its updated standards for doing so in the budget implementation bill tabled Monday. The federal government said it would only approve bids for oilsands companies by state-owned enterprises in an "exceptional circumstance" going forward in a December announcement approving the CNOOC and Petronas deals.
Consultant lobbyists told The Lobby Monitor that the new guidelines on foreign acquisitions included in the announcement leave plenty of opportunity for them to work on future deals, which will continue to be negotiations between the government and bidder. The Institute for Research on Public Policy released a study earlier this month arguing the rules around foreign acquisitions remain unclear and could constrain future foreign investment into Canada.
The new standards take into account the degree to which a foreign company is "influenced, directly or indirectly" by its government, and "the implication of that is unknown," said Hunter.
The federal government considers the degree of influence the foreign state could have on the Canadian business being acquired, its influence on the industry as a whole, and the likelihood it will exercise influence over the company, he said.
Hill+Knowlton's Michael Coates, who lobbied on the CNOOC deal, wrote in a March posting on the firm's website that companies looking to acquire Canadian counterparts must describe how the deal will enhance Canada's wealth and power while also trying to bring provincial governments onside.
Bidders also need to carefully plan communications and government relations strategies before announcing their intention to make an acquisition in Canada, and make public commitments to government or regulators with that announcement "in order to mitigate potential political fallout," he said.
