eBay hacked, 145 million "encrypted" user account passwords stolen!
Confusion reigns over whether or not the 145 million "encrypted" user account passwords swiped from eBay can be practically cracked by crooks.
A day has passed since the online tat bazaar admitted its customer database was hacked back in February, and the method of encryption is still not known: http://www.ebayinc.com/in_the_news/story/ebay-inc-ask-ebay-users-change-passwords
We do what wasn't encrypted: millions of people's names, home addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers and email addresses, which were stored in the ransacked database alongside the passwords.
Spokeswoman Amanda Miller broke radio silence to say eBay.com ran passwords through some sort of mystery one-way encryption, aka hashing: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/05/21/us-ebay-password-idUKBREA4K0B420140521
She insisted the website used "sophisticated, proprietary hashing and salting technology to protect the passwords". Users have been told to change their login credentials as a precaution.
Computer security experts have criticised the web souk for its handling of the almighty blunder, and want more technical details from the website.
"The use of proprietary algorithms is not only extremely unlikely, but also ill advised: there's no wider scrutiny of effectiveness," Rik Ferguson, veep of security research at Trend Micro, told The Register: http://countermeasures.trendmicro.eu/oy-vey-ebay-five-questions-for-you
"eBay used proprietary implementations of an algorithm? Perhaps – but not proprietary algorithms. So take that [eBay] quote with a pinch of salt, no pun intended."
eBay admitted on Wednesday that miscreants broke into its confidential database about two months ago after somehow infiltrating its corporate network, possibly by obtaining access to staff-level accounts. While the passwords were "encrypted", the millions of personal records lifted were now – leading some to question why this information wasn't stored in an encrypted form: http://bhconsulting.ie/securitywatch/?p=2180
Financial details, such as credit card numbers, were not exposed – eBay claims – but the leaked data is a treasure trove for identity thieves.
The internet auction house has not responded to our request to identify the hashing function used. The official @AskeBay Twitter profile did tell one user that it stores "encrypted passwords that have been hashed and salted": https://twitter.com/AskeBay/status/469338371886546944
eBay customers should be wary of convincing phishing emails and other messages that include their leaked personal information to look legit – and be wary of emails posing as password-reset requests. These malicious missives redirect users to websites that masquerade as eBay.com and harvest victims' usernames and passwords.
El Reg has heard crims have already started phishing for marks' logins along these lines.

Bootnote
Passwords should be hashed, rather than encrypted in a reversible manner, as explained in the above video by infosec blogger Javvad Malik: http://youtu.be//FYfMZx2hy_8

Le Chateau Shutting Operations After CCAA Filing

Racism in Hiring: Why "No Canadian Experience" is Unacceptable [Opinion]
An industry expert discusses unintended racism in the hiring process and how to fix it.
The 60-year-old Canadian retailer will close 123 stores with 1,400 people to lose their jobs.
Another Canadian retailer will be shutting down this year following the COVID-19 pandemic store closures in the spring. Montreal-based Le Chateau will shut its operations which includes 123 storefronts in Canada as well as an e-commerce site.
The 60 year old retailer says that it spent much of the pandemic trying to refinance or sell the business which was ultimately unsuccessful. "Its already evident impact on consumer demand for Le Chateau's holiday party and occasion wear, which represents the core of our offering, has diminished Le Chateau's ability to pursue its activities," the company said.
"Regrettably, these circumstances leave the company with no option other than to commence the liquidation process."

Le Chateau's application for protection from its creditors under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) was being heard by a Quebec court on Friday.
The retailer said in a statement that the pandemic has had an "evident impact on consumer demand for Le Château's holiday party and occasion wear, which represents the core of our offering [and] has diminished Le Château's ability to pursue its activities."
While Le Chateau liquidates its 123 stores, the company will remain fully operational. The eventual closure will result in the loss of about 1400 jobs with 900 of those in the stores and an additional 500 positions at Le Chateau's head office.

"We regret the impact this will have on our people and can assure you that we explored all options available to us prior to taking this difficult decision," the company said.
Le Chateau was scheduled to have its annual general meeting on Thursday and it was cancelled two days prior without explanation beyond saying that the company "will provide further updates in due course". Industry insiders this week immediately speculated that a filing would follow.
Over the three-month period up until July 25, Le Château only sold $14.7 million in its stores and online — down almost $50 million from the same time last year. As of July 2020, Le Chateau says it had about $118 million in assets and $201 million worth of liabilities.
Gordon Brothers and Merchant Retail Solutions are to be appointed as consultants to implement the liquidation. PricewaterhouseCooper Inc. will become its monitor in the CCAA proceedings. If the application is granted, Le Chateau will obtain interim financing from Wells Fargo Canada to maintain operations for the short-term during liquidation.
Le Chateau's exit from malls will create further headaches for landlords who are already grappling with vacancies following other store closures. A research document provided to Retail Insider shows that Le Chateau had more than 700,000 square feet of retail space in Canada. The largest Le Chateau location is at the CrossIron Mills shopping centre near Calgary, spanning 8,842 square feet. The top selling unit was said to have been at West Edmonton Mall prior to the pandemic, with sales surpassing $1,000 per square foot for the 5,680 square foot space in the mall's 'Phase 3'.
This week we also reported that Calgary-based swimwear brand Swimco had shut its 25 Canadian stores after an attempted restructuring in the summer. About 30 other retail chains in Canada, as well as countless independent retailers have also filed for creditor protection and in some cases have shut down entirely. Experts expect more retailers to file for bankruptcy protection in the coming weeks and months as retail spending in some segments slow amid a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. In early 2021 it is expected that more stores and other businesses in Canada will close than at any time in history, including some household names looking to rightsize operations.
Le Chateau was founded in 1959 in Montreal by Herschel Segal as a menswear store. In 1962 womenswear was added including European fashions from places such as Carnaby Street in London. It was the first to introduce bell bottoms to Canada and in its early years was considered to be a trendsetter. The company's IPO on the Toronto Stock Exchange was in 1983. The company had closed about half of its stores since 2015. Last quarter saw the company turn its first profit in about 13 years. Last year we reported that Le Chateau had planned to expand into the United States through a new e-commerce site.
Herschel Segal's cousin David Segal founded David's Tea which this year filed for creditor protection and closed all but 18 stores. Herschel's daughter Sarah Segal is the founder of Squish Candy which has also restructured with only a handful of locations remaining.

Financial Forecasts of the firm
As depicted in Figure 8.2, the analysis of a firm's historical financial statement is followed by the preparation of forecasts. Forecasts are predictions of a firm's future sales, expenses, income, and capital expenditures. A firm's forecasts pro- vide the basis for its pro forma financial statements. A well-developed set of pro forma financial statements helps a firm create accurate budgets, build financial plans, and manage its finances in a proactive rather than a reactive manner.
As mentioned earlier, completely new firms typically base their forecasts on a good-faith estimate of sales and on industry averages (based on a percent- age of sales) or the experiences of similar start-ups for cost of goods sold and other expenses. As a result, a completely new firm's forecast should be pre- ceded in its business plan by an explanation of the sources of the numbers for the forecast and the assumptions used to generate them. This explanation is called an assumptions sheet, as mentioned in Chapter 6. Investors typically study assumptions sheets like hawks to make sure the numbers contained in the forecasts and the resulting financial projections are realistic. For example, the assumptions sheet for a new venture may say that its forecasts are based on selling 500 units of its new product the first year, 1,000 units the second year, and 1,500 units the third year, and that its cost of goods sold will remain stable (meaning that it will stay fixed at a certain percentage of net sales) over the three-year period. It's up to the reader of the plan to determine if these numbers are realistic.16 If the reader feels they are not, then the credibility of the entire plan is called into question.
1. Sales Forecast
A sales forecast is a projection of a firm's sales for a specified period (such as a year), though most firms forecast their sales for two to five years into the future.17 It is the first forecast developed and is the basis for most of the other forecasts.18 A sales forecast for an existing firm is based on (1) its record of past sales, (2) its current production capacity and product demand, and (3) any factor or factors that will affect its future production capacity and product de- mand. To demonstrate how a sales forecast works, Figure 8.3 is a graph of the past sales and the forecasted future sales for New Venture Fitness Drinks. The company's sales increased at a rate of about 26 percent per year from 2012 to 2014 as the company became established and more people became aware of its brand. In forecasting its sales for 2015 and 2016, the company took into con- sideration the following factors:
■ The fitness craze in America continues to gain momentum and should con- tinue to attract new people to try its fitness drinks.
■ The interest in intramural sports, especially soccer, baseball, and softball, should continue to provide a high level of traffic for its restaurants, which are located near large intramural sports complexes.
■ The company expanded from a single location in 2011 to two locations in 2014 (the second restaurant was added in November 2014), and this should increase its capacity to serve fitness drinks by approximately 50 percent. The second restaurant is smaller than the first and is located in an area where the company is not as well known. The company will be actively promoting the new restaurant but knows it will take time to win market share.
■ The general economy in the city where the company is located is flat—it is neither growing nor shrinking. However, layoffs are rumored for a larger employer near the location of the new restaurant.
The combination of these factors results in a forecast of a 40 percent in- crease in sales from 2014 to 2015 and a 25 percent increase in sales from 2015 to 2016. It is extremely important for a company such as New Venture Drinks to forecast future sales as accurately as possible. If it overestimates the demand for its products, it might get stuck with excess inventory and spend too much on overhead. If it underestimates the demand for its product, it might have to turn away business, and some of its potential customers might get into the habit of buying other firms' fitness drinks.
Note that sophisticated tools are available to help firms project their fu- ture sales. One approach is to use regression analysis, which is a statistical technique used to find relationships between variables for the purpose of pre- dicting future values.19 For example, if New Venture Fitness Drinks felt that its future sales were a function of its advertising expenditures, the number of people who participate in intramural sports at the sports complexes near its restaurants, and the price of its drinks, it could predict future sales using re- gression analysis as long as it had historical data for each of these variables. If the company used simpler logic and felt that its future sales would increase a certain percentage over its current sales, regression analysis could be used to generate a more precise estimate of future sales than was predicted from the information contained in Figure 8.3. For a new firm that has limited years of "annual data," monthly data could be used to project sales.
2. Forecast of costs of sales and other items
After completing its sales forecast, a firm must forecast its cost of sales (or cost of goods sold) and the other items on its income statement. The most common way to do this is to use the percent-of-sales method, which is a method for ex- pressing each expense item as a percentage of sales.20 For example, in the case of New Venture Fitness Drinks, its cost of sales has averaged 47.5 percent over the past two years. In 2014, its sales were $586,600 and its cost of sales was $268,900. The company's sales are forecast to be $821,200 in 2015. Therefore, based on the percent-of-sales method, its cost of sales in 2015 will be $390,000, or 47.5 percent of projected sales. The same procedure could be used to fore- cast the cost of each expense item on the company's income statement.
Once a firm completes its forecast using the percent-of-sales method, it usually goes through its income statement on an item-by-item basis to see if there are opportunities to make more precise forecasts. For example, a firm can closely estimate its depreciation expenses, so it wouldn't be appropriate to use the percent-of-sales method to make a forecast for this item. In addition, some expense items are not tied to sales. For those items, the firm makes rea- sonable estimates.
Obviously, a firm must apply common sense in using the percent-of-sales method. If a company is implementing cost-cutting measures, for example, it might be able to justify projecting a smaller percentage increase in expenses as opposed to sales. Similarly, if a firm hires an upper-level manager, such as a chief financial officer, toward the end of the year and plans to pay the person $100,000 the next year, that $100,000 may not have an immediate impact on sales. In this case, the firm's forecast for administrative expenses may have to be adjusted upward beyond what the percent-of-sales method would suggest.
If a firm determines that it can use the percent-of-sales method and it fol- lows the procedure described previously, then the net result is that each ex- pense item on its income statement (with the exception of those items that may be individually forecast, such as depreciation) will grow at the same rate as sales. This approach is called the constant ratio method of forecasting. This approach will be used in preparing the pro forma financial statements for New Venture Fitness Drinks in the next section.
A summary of the forecasts used to prepare the pro forma financial state- ments for New Venture Fitness Drinks is provided in Table 8.5.
In addition to computing sales forecasts, when a company like New Venture Fitness Drinks considers opening a new restaurant or producing a new prod- uct, it often calculates a break-even analysis to determine if the proposed initiative is feasible. The break-even point for a new restaurant or product is the point where total revenue received equals total costs associated with the output of the restaurant or the sale of the product.21 In the case of opening a new restaurant, New Venture Fitness Drinks could use break-even analysis as one way of determining whether the proposed initiative is feasible. The formula for break-even analysis is as follows: Total fixed costs/(price – average variable costs). In most instances, average variable cost is the same number as average cost of goods sold. As a result, if the total fixed cost associated with opening a new restaurant is $101,000 per year, the average price for a fitness drink is $2.75, and the variable cost (or cost of goods sold) for each drink is $1.10, then the break-even point for the new restaurant is as follows:
This number means that the new restaurant will have to sell 61,212 "units," or fitness drinks, per year to "break even" at the current price of the drinks. That number breaks down to the sale of 170 fitness drinks per day, on average, based on a 360-day year. To determine whether opening the new restaurant is feasible, the managers of New Venture Fitness Drinks would compare this number against the historic sales figures for their other restau- rants, making adjustments as appropriate (e.g., the new restaurant may have a better or worse location than the existing restaurants). If selling 170 fitness drinks per day seems unrealistic, then the managers of New Fitness Drinks might opt to not open the new restaurant, or find ways to lower fixed or vari- able costs or increase revenues. An obvious way to increase revenues is to raise the price of the fitness drinks, if that option is realistic given the competi- tive nature of the marketplace.

Wagner starts to rebuild a long-lost marching band program
Expert law advice and job-hunting tips
Top scholarship takes student to a 'newborn country'
For the first time in almost four decades, the Seahawks are on the march again — on the marching band field, that is.
Inspired by the 2012 football team's success, Vice President Angelo Araimo led the charge to revive a marching band at Wagner. Jose Diaz, who previously served as the orchestra conductor and instrumental music teacher at Saddle River Day School, was hired as the band's director last summer. During the band's first season, 22 students have participated, and Diaz plans to expand that number in the coming years.
Wagner previously had a marching band, which started in the 1940s and existed (with some interruptions) until the mid-1970s. (See "Flashback" for more on this history.)
Groundbreakers of the revitalized Wagner marching band include flutist Kendra Best '16, who is also serving as the band's president. The psychology major from Metuchen, New Jersey, leaped at the chance to join the band because, she says, "it has been a huge part of my life since I first joined in fourth grade." She fondly remembers playing with her high school band in the Orange Bowl halftime show and at Disney World's Magic Music Days.
Now with Wagner's fledgling ensemble, she is eager to play at Seahawk basketball games this spring, appear in local parades, and perform a field show for football games next fall. "I enjoy being a leader, and I look forward to the growing of the organization," she says.
"It's so incredibly fun," adds Madeline McKnight '16, a psychology major who plays bass drum and serves as the band's equipment manager. "I look forward to every rehearsal, every game, basically any time we get together."

When Grantham University officially launched its Nursing degree programs in February of 2010, faculty member, JoAnn Workman, was there from the very beginning. With a strong work ethic and positive attitude that was instilled during her childhood, JoAnn has been a great asset to the department.
Not only does she teach various classes at Grantham, which include Health Assessment, Theories in Nursing and Nursing Leadership and Management, but she has also written multiple courses for the RN-BSN degree program.
"No matter what I ask her to do, even if it's the last minute, she's there to help out," says Dr. Fairchild, Dean of the School of Nursing.
JoAnn holds a four track Master's degree in Nursing, specializing in the Adult Psychiatric Mental Health, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Case Management and Educator Track from Saint Louis University.
"Education is very important to me; my personal attributes include, being diligent in all endeavors, honesty, hardworking, and perseverance," JoAnn commented.
Her career goals in nursing include the pursuit of obtaining additional certifications in forensics, addictions, and child psychiatric mental health. Furthermore, she would like to provide consulting to agencies or communities and offer holistic counseling in private practice for individuals and families.

James Ernest Perring (1 March 1822 in London, England – 12 January 1889 in New York City, United States) was a British opera singer, voice trainer, and composer.

Life
As a boy, Perring led the soprano chorus at Her Majesty's Theatre before entering the Royal Academy of Music, studying under Sir Julius Benedict. He later studied in Italy and became a good friend of singer Sims Reeves. On his return to England, Perring commenced a successful career as a leading tenor, singing with Jenny Lind and Maria Piccolomini, among others. He was noted for singing oratorio. He toured both Europe and the United States to great acclaim, with the great performers of the day.

He later became a vocal teacher, assisting singers such as Emma Abbott and Max Alvary. In 1850 he suffered financial hardship and spent time in a debtors' prison; he was described then as a "Professor of Music and Singing, composer and organist, occasionally dealing in musical instruments".

By 1859, he had moved to the United States, where he continued to perform until at least 1865, and teach and publish music until his death in 1889. From 1874 to 1876, he was the choirmaster and organist at Calvary Episcopal Church in Memphis, Tennessee. In 1878 he was hired by the new Cincinnati Musical College (a predecessor to the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music) to teach singing. He composed many ballads, parlor songs, and nocturnes, although few if any modern recordings of his work exist.

Chintan to Direct Darshan
chintan, darshan
If everything had gone right, then it would have been a couple of years since writer Chintan had made his debut as a director. But luck did not support Chintan and the writer could not become a director till now.
Now Chintan is all set to turn director with a new untitled film. Chintan's mentor Darshan will be acting in the film to be produced by Sathyaprakash of 'Sarathi' fame. Chintan had earlier written dialogues to 'Sarathi' and after that had worked for a few films including 'Ambarisha'. Now Chintan is all set to turn independent director with a new film. The film is likely to be launched later this year.
Before that there was news that Chintan would direct Ganesh apart from 'Chakravarthy' starring Vijay. But the films did not take off.

Drew: Why the Delta Variant is a Game Changer for Many
By Samuetta Hill Drew
As we continue to hear and read about the newest COVID-19 coronavirus mutation – the Delta variant, it is good to know what it is and why we all need to pay attention, especially those individuals who are not fully vaccinated.
VOX journalist, Umair Irfan, writes on June 30 that "The Delta variant of COVID-19 has become the dominant source of new infections in the UK (United Kingdom) and is rapidly gaining ground in the U.S."
He adds that "the fast-spreading Delta variant of the coronavirus is eroding some of the world's precious progress against the COVID-19 pandemic. It is likely the most transmissible variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus identified to date, appears to cause more severe illness than others, and has already landed in at least 85 countries . . . The Delta variant has made COVID-19 more dangerous than ever for unvaccinated people."
The scientific and medical research communities have found the Delta variant contains at least 23 mutations compared to the original strain of SARS-CoV-2. Several of these mutations have particularly alarming traits.
"Based on current knowledge most mutations found in the Delta variant can be linked to an increase in cell entry efficiency or immune system," states Markus Hoffman, a virologist at the German Primate Center, Leibniz Institute of Primate Research, in an email. "Whether they act synergistically or enhance each other is not clear yet."
So a mutated version of the original virus that is more transmissible, leads to more severe outcomes, and is harder to protect against stands to be devastating for people who have no protection. Making the Delta variant the most occurring infection largely in unvaccinated people which is accounting for a growing share of hospitalizations and deaths around the world.
It is reported that younger people are making up a large portion of new Delta COVID-19 cases. This is believed true based upon the timing of their availability to the vaccine which was later than older adults, along with their refusal to get the vaccine for an array of reasons. Most of their reasons are not based upon scientific or medical research.
Health officials continue to worry and monitor this new Delta variant. They continue to encourage citizens to wear a mask, practice social distancing, wash hands frequently and get vaccinated, if unvaccinated. Following these safety recommendations were the most contributing factors for our country's decrease in COVID-19 cases.
To help Keep an Eye on Safety for all us it is important to remember the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lifted some of its earlier safety recommendations about wearing masks, social distancing, events and gatherings for those who were fully vaccinated, not for the unvaccinated.
Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated people should continue to follow the original CDC COVID-19 guidelines to stop the contraction and spreading of COVID-19, especially the new Delta variant.

Building the 2012 Volkswagen Passat: A Tour of the New Chattanooga Factory
By Ben Rossi on 3 August 2011
It's been almost a quarter century since Volkswagen stopped making cars in the U.S. The carmaker has never claimed more than 3% of the U.S. market, despite the iconic stature of its Beetle and Minibus models. But VW has big plans – and lots of capital – dedicated to capturing a bigger piece of the U.S.auto market. And the lynchpin of this strategy is its brand-new manufacturing plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
"Das Auto is finally back in the States," said VW Chief Executive Martin Winterkorn at the plant's opening ceremony in late May, which was attended by members of local, state, and federal governments as well as top VW officials. "VW has everything it takes to win the hearts and minds of Americans. Let's go for it."
Joining the plant in Puebla, Mexico as the only other North American VW production facility, the $1 billion Chattanooga plant, housed in a 2 million-square-foot former munitions factory, has the capacity to produce 150,000 vehicles per year.
Currently, the factory is geared to exclusively produce the 2012 Passat sedan in diesel- and gasoline-powered versions. The Passat has been completely redesigned for the American market and base-priced approximately $7,000 less than the model it's replacing. VW officials have said that a decision about other models to be produced there will come within the next year.
According to Volkswagen, the manufacturing depth for the Chattanooga-produced Passat is 85%, meaning that 85% of Passat's parts come from local suppliers. At a briefing at the plant attended by TDD editor Jonathan Spira, Frank Fischer, the plant's CEO, said that VW is looking to expand its adjacent supplier park, which now has eight companies. High manufacturing depth means VW can avoid the increasingly onerous currency-exchange penalties the company has incurred by importing its cars from Europe.
It also means that in addition to the 2,000 workers at the plant – including 400 white collar workers, the consequence of VW moving its manufacturing headquarters to Chattanooga– an estimated 9,500 suppliers will indirectly benefit from the factory. After losing a new Toyota plant to Tupelo, Mississippi, in 2007, the city of Chattanooga, government of Tennessee, and federal agencies put up an estimated $577 million in incentives, the largest offer in history for a car company project, to land the German automaker. The jobs created by the factory will result in an estimated $12 billion growth to the local economy.
VW'S GREEN PLANT
VW aims to reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing in numerous ways. The new plant meets the highest requirements of the U.S. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standard. One of the key measures is the use of a painting process without filler, which should cut CO2 emissions by 20 percent. Overall, by ensuring an efficient production process, VW estimates an annual savings of three million kilowatt hours, the equivalent of powering forty-seven 70,000-seat stadiums for an entire football game.
Water efficiency at the plant also meets the most stringent requirements. The factory's automobile shop is the first in the world to use a waterless separation process for topcoat application. Using a system of drainage channels, the plant recycles water from its cooling system and restrooms, and all of their groundwater, waste management and sewage system comply with LEED standards. Thanks to the use of collected rainwater, the water use at the VW plant will be considerably lower than at plants of comparable size.
The VW plant is the first in the U.S. to use all energy-saving LED outdoor lighting, and production buildings and offices are also equipped with energy-saving bulbs on motion sensors. The entire lighting system uses some 20 percent less energy than a comparable facility.
Most car plants distribute their vehicles on trucks, but Chattanoogaplant uses rail to cut down on environmental costs, loading 550-600 cars out of the facility a day. The Chattanooga train drops off at 16 points across the USA, three in Canada, and one in Mexico. 85% of the vehicles leave Chattanooga by rail.
At the opening ceremony, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood touted the TDI (Turbocharged Direct Injection) model of the new Passat, noting that the clean diesel engine can achieve between 40 and 50 miles a gallon on the highway and go from 700 to 800 miles on full tank. He pointed out that the U.S. could conserve 1.4 million barrels of oil a day if one-third of all vehicles used the clean-diesel technology, and emphasized that clean diesel engines will play an important role in the transition to a new transportation system in the United States.
"That is not only because it is the right engine for environmental and climate protection in the USA," LaHood said. "Clean diesel engines also make sense economically, for both individuals and American companies. The Clean Diesel technology that is found in the new US Passat, for example, makes a genuine difference."

The Labour Party: UEFA Champions League Winners 1999
11th March 2017 ~ rogercee
At 90:35 in, people like Owen Jones are telling Labour that they have no choice but to accept that they must be Bayern Munich. They've been telling Labour that in increasing numbers and greater ferocity since 6 minutes in.
People like Jones are concerned that there is a genuine chance that Britain will have an early general election and that Labour will not be able to resurrect its public perception in time to win it. Jones believes that the Tories could win another majority and the fallout in Labour will land on Labour's Left, resulting in Labour re-lurching towards the right under the influence of its current 'wreckers' who have done the damage to Labour's public perception, returning Britain to a choice of parasites on the Right and parasites on the Left. Even if we accept the entirety of Jones' scenario it doesn't guarantee the result; it would be a battle lost but not the war. Even if the Tories did manage to win an early election that does not mean Labour will be condemned to leadership under its 'wreckers'. As long as the Labour membership stand with the leadership then the leadership can continue to fight the battles within Labour and have the time to win the war. All would not be lost.
Jones' scenario is the absolute worst case. It is far more likely that Labour will retain most of its current seats and the Tories will lose seats to the LibDems or potentially to independent local candidates. The most likely scenario in the event of an early general election is a repeat of 2010, where no single party could form a majority government.
People like Jones fear that Labour cannot overcome the damage done to it by it's 'wreckers', that it cannot stop them from wrecking the party, and that the only route is one of appeasement, where Labour give the 'wreckers' what they want now, in the hope that the ideological damage the 'wreckers' do to the party further down the road can be negated somehow by isolating them. The Conservative Party have proven that that 'strategy' simply does not work and Britain is currently paying the price. What people like Jones are suggesting would give away Labour's best chance to stand up to the parasites in British politics and excise those within and influencing its ranks.
We keep hearing that Labour must be in power to make a difference and I never really considered the full implications of why that call has been going on since before Corbyn took over the leadership of the party because it is not something that anyone, including Jeremy Corbyn, has ever disputed. The war is to be in government, focus on winning the war, they say, ignore the battles is the implication. But the war in British politics is the one against the parasites acting in the interests of a minority of wealthy individuals, against the best interests of the rest of us. Getting into government is just one of the battles and you won't have won the war if the people you put into government are the same parasites who you are waging war on in the first place. The current Labour leadership understand this.
Labour can choose to be Bayern Munich at 90:35 or Manchester United at 92.18

anyone have either of these or experience with them? I own 2 salinitys, was wondering if the extra cost for the 2 mentioned above would be any beneficial to what I already have.
I have a phantom, salinity, bait runner, and a slag mag. I don't find a huge deference between them, beside my baitrunner is of course longer. Between the salinity and my slam mag, the eyes and the quickness is the the only huge difference I can find. I know you were asking about the ultramag, not the slam mag ,But the slam mag is only one down to the ultramag. Just figure I would give my 2 cents.
I appreciate the response. Thanks. This is what I'm looking for.
No problem, like I said, the salinity is a moderate action I believe and the higher priced Waterloo's are faster actions.
The Ultra Mag has a stronger backbone than the HP Lite but with a faster tip. The Hp Lite still has plenty of backbone but will but a little faster when it comes to action. The Ultra mag is great for Tops and Corkies, I love an HP Lite for tails. My favorite is the HP Slam Mag, very strong backbone but not too much. with all that being said the rods are all great, you just have to throw one of each at least once to see what action you like best. You can't ever have enough rods IMO!!!
Love my HP Lites! My favorite rod now.
Love my Salinity. I've used an HP Lite and can't justify the extra cost over salinity. Maybe except the recoil guides.
Also have 2 Phantoms. Have yet to find a rod that good for the price.
My fav rod to date though is my Sarge Priest. 2.6oz, and you can feel anything and everything on the end of your line.
I am one of the few not a fan of the Ultra Mag. Too heavy for my liking.
I have an Ultra Mag, HP Lite, and 2 Salinity. Cost is always relative to how deep your pockets are, but, I'd wager all else being equal I'd catch 95-99.9% as many fish on the Salinity as the Customs. What's that (and recoil guides) worth to you?

How does it feel when it moves through you?
How do you know when you are in it, and how do you know when you have stepped out of it?
What are the sensations in your body, and how do you learn to embody this state on a daily basis?
In our final embodied awareness 5-day seminar, we discussed how intuition is integrated through action. Acting on our guidance is also empowering. It helps us discover the truth of inner awareness in those concrete real terms as it shows up in our daily lives.
Empowerment is the movement of your truest Self emerging into the present moment as a state of Presence. Empowerment allows us to connect into inner awareness while interacting with others.
It is staying in this flow that continues to feed empowerment. Knowing deeply, embodying fully, allowing a greater awareness to flow through you, to fill you, nourish you.
Presence grows when there is room for all us to be our full empowered selves. Being able to hear 'yes' and 'no' with equally enables you to stay present with yourself and others. It helps you to actually stay in your power, while someone is asserting his or her own power.
When you feel empowered, you feel grounded, open, and relaxed. You are comfortable with yourself and comfortable with others–just, as they are.
Presence is true power. Presence is the state that you go into when you are embodied. Empowerment hinges on the interplay of all these things.

Normal blood sugar level range between 80 and 120. A dangerous blood sugar level can mean it is too high or to low. Creative Health Institute does not treat or diagnosis diabetes. After you have been diagnosed diabetes type 2, we can teach you how to work on reversing it and bringing your blood sugar levels into the normal range, usually within 21 days. Whether you have diabetes or not you should consult your doctor if you are experiencing symptoms of abnormal blood sugar, or feel that its not within the normal range. So consult with your doctor, then you can make an informed decision as to where to go from there.
Tiredness and fatigue (possibly severe enough to make you fall asleep unexpectedly after meals), one of the most common symptoms of diabetes.
While many of the signs and symptoms of diabetes can also be related to other causes, testing for diabetes is very easy, and the constant/regular presence of one or more of these symptoms over an extended period of time should be checked by a physician.
If diabetes is suspected, tested for, and diagnosed when those symptoms first start appearing, other more serious symptoms of advanced diabetes can often be prevented or have their onset significantly delayed through diet, exercise and proper blood sugar management.
If you or someone you know are experiencing these symptoms an appointment with a physician should be made as soon as possible.

Academy Award winner Bette Davis stars in a dual role as twin sisters--one sweet and demure, the other scheming and philandering. But when one twin dies, can the other step into her place and lead A Stolen Life. When kindly Kate Bosworth (Davis--All About Eve; Now, Voyager) meets Bill Emerson (Glenn Ford--Gilda, Blackboard Jungle) on Martha's Vineyard, she falls instantly in love. But when Bill meets Kate's sister, the conniving Pat (also Davis), he falls for the evil twin. Now, some years later when Pat dies in a boating accident, Kate gets a chance to live with the man she still loves--but can the demure Kate convince Bill that she is his lying, cheating wife?

The thinnest photodetector in the world
by Institute for Basic Science
(top) Devices with one-layer and seven-layer MoS2 were built on top of a silicon base and compared. Dielectric constants responsible for the difference in electrostatic potentials are shown in parenthesis. (bottom) The device with one-layer MoS2 (inside the violet box) showed better performance in converting light to electric current than the seven-layer device (inside the pink box). Credit: Institute for Basic Science
The Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics, within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has developed the world's thinnest photodetector, that is a device that converts light into an electric current. With a thickness of just 1.3 nanometers - 10 times smaller than the current standard silicon diodes - this device could be used in the Internet of Things, smart devices, wearable electronics and photoelectronics. This 2D technology, published on Nature Communications, uses molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) sandwiched in graphene.
Graphene is a fantastic material: It's conductive, thin (just one-atom thick), transparent and flexible. However, since it does not behave as a semiconductor, its application in the electronics industry is limited. Therefore, in order to increase graphene's usability, IBS scientists sandwiched a layer of the 2D semiconductor MoS2 between two graphene sheets and put it over a silicon base. They initially thought the resulting device was too thin to generate an electric current but, unexpectedly, it did. "A device with one-layer of MoS2 is too thin to generate a conventional p-n junction, where positive (p) charges and negative (n) charges are separated and can create an internal electric field. However, when we shine light on it, we observed high photocurrent. It was surprising! Since it cannot be a classical p-n junction, we thought to investigate it further," explains YU Woo Jong, first author of this study.
To understand what they found, the researchers compared devices with one and seven layers of MoS2 and tested how well they behave as a photodetector, that is, how they are able to convert light into an electric current. They found that the device with one-layer MoS2 absorbs less light than the device with seven layers, but it has higher photoresponsitivity. "Usually the photocurrent is proportional to the photoabsorbance, that is, if the device absorbs more light, it should generate more electricity, but in this case, even if the one-layer MoS2 device has smaller absorbance than the seven-layer MoS2, it produces seven times more photocurrent," describes Yu.
Mechanism to explain why the device with one-layer MoS2 generates more photocurrent than the seven-layer MoS2 one. (top) In the one-layer device MoS2 (right), the electron (red circle) has a higher probability to tunnel from the MoS2 layer to the GrT because the energy barrier (white arch) is smaller in that junction. In the seven-layers MoS2 device (left) instead, the energy barrier between MoS2/GrT and MoS2/GrB is the same so electrons do not have a preferred direction flow. More energy is generated in the one-layer MoS2 device because more electrons flow in the same direction. (bottom) Imagine that people want to cross a mountain without too much effort. If the mountains have different height (right), more people choose to climb (or better, to tunnel) the small mountain, while if the mountains have the same height (left), they do not have a preferred route. Credit: Freepiks
The monolayer is thinner and therefore more sensitive to the surrounding environment: The bottom SiO2 layer increases the energy barrier, while the air on top reduces it, thus electrons in the monolayer device have a higher probability to tunnel from the MoS2 layer to the top graphene (GrT). The energy barrier at the GrT/MoS2 junction is lower than the one at the GrB/MoS2, so the excited electrons transfer preferentially to the GrT layer and create an electric current. Conversely, in the multi-layer MoS2 device, the energy barriers between GrT/MoS2 and GrB/MoS2 are symmetric, therefore the electrons have the same probability to go either side and thus reduce the generated current.
Imagine a group of people in a valley surrounded by two mountains. The group wants to get to the other side of the mountains, but without making too much effort. In one case ( the seven-layers MoS2 device), both mountains have the same height so whichever mountain is crossed, the effort will be the same. Therefore half the group crosses one mountain and the other half the second mountain.
In the second case (analogue to the one-layer MoS2 device), one mountain is taller than the other, so the majority of the group decide to cross the smaller mountain. However, because we are considering quantum physics instead of classical electromagnetism, they do not need to climb the mountain until they reach the top (as they would need to do with classical physics), but they can pass through a tunnel. Although electron tunneling and walking a tunnel in a mountain are very different of course, the idea is that electric current is generated by the flow of electrons, and the thinner device can generate more current because more electrons flow towards the same direction.
(a) Illustration of the device with the molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) semiconductor layer sandwiched between top (GrT) and bottom (GrB) graphene layers. Light (green ray) is absorbed and converted into an electric current. When light is absorbed by the device, electrons (blue) jump into a higher energy state and holes (red) are generated in the MoS2 layer. The movement of holes and electrons created by the difference in electronic potential between the GrT-MoS2 and the GrB-MoS2 junctions generates the electric current. Credit: Institute for Basic Science
Actually, when light is absorbed by the device and MoS2 electrons jump into an excited state, they leave the so-called holes behind. Holes behave like positive mobile charges and are essentially positions left empty by electrons that absorbed enough energy to jump to a higher energy status. Another problem of the thicker device is that electrons and holes move too slowly through the junctions between graphene and MoS2, leading to their undesired recombination within the MoS2 layer.
For these reasons, up to 65% of photons absorbed by the thinner device are used to generate a current. Instead, the same measurement (quantum efficiency) is only 7% for the seven-layer MoS2 apparatus.
"This device is transparent, flexible and requires less power than the current 3D silicon semiconductors. If future research is successful, it will accelerate the development of 2D photoelectric devices," explains the professor.
Study could lead to a new class of materials for making LEDs
