Q: Java Map with list value, filter on another list I have looked on other topics but I cant find the solutions for my problem. I have a map that contains a key = cartID for example C01 and a ArrayList of products. I want to filter this map on another ArrayList that contains productIDs so I can find all the carts that contain these products. I have following code
Map<String, List<OrderLineDTO>> allCarts //contains data these are fetched
List<String> cart; //also contains fetched data for example ["Product01", "Product02"]

allCarts.values().stream().filter(list -> list.stream().allMatch(value -> cart.contains(value.getProductId()))).collect(Collectors.toList()); //filter I'm using but not working

Any ideas?
Thanks!

A: If you want to find IDs of the carts containing products only in the list, this should work:
List<String> cartIds = allCarts
    .entrySet().stream()
    .filter(e ->
        e.getValue().stream().allMatch(p -> productIds.contains(p.getProductId())))
    .map(e -> e.getKey())
    .collect(Collectors.toList());

So the only difference is that I used entrySet() instead of values().
To find carts, containing at least one product in the list, .anyMatch predicate needs to be used.

A: The following returns a list of all carts int the list that contain the specified product ids. Included is an OrderLineDTO class to fulfill the demo.
        Map<String, List<OrderLineDTO>> allCarts = new HashMap<>();
        List<String> cart = new ArrayList<>(); // also contains fetched data for example ["Product01", "Product02"]
        cart.add("ID7");
        cart.add("ID1");
        allCarts.put("cart1", List.of(new OrderLineDTO("ID1"),
                new OrderLineDTO("ID2")));
        allCarts.put("cart2", List.of(new OrderLineDTO("ID3"),
                new OrderLineDTO("ID5")));
        allCarts.put("cart3", List.of(new OrderLineDTO("ID3"),
                new OrderLineDTO("ID4")));
        allCarts.put("cart4", List.of(new OrderLineDTO("ID6"),
                new OrderLineDTO("ID7")));

        List<String> carts = allCarts.entrySet().stream()
                .filter(e -> e.getValue().stream().anyMatch(
                        prod -> cart.contains(prod.getProductId())))
                .map(e -> e.getKey()).collect(Collectors.toList());

        System.out.println(carts);

Prints
[cart1, cart4]

class OrderLineDTO {
    String id;

    public OrderLineDTO(String id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getProductId() {
        return id;
    }

    public String toString() {
        return id;
    }
}

}

A: Try to use entrySet() and anyMatch:
        allCarts.entrySet().stream().filter(p -> cart.stream().anyMatch(prod -> p.getValue().contains(prod.get))).collect(Collectors.toList());

A: I had to use containsAll to find my answer. Thanks everyone for the help!
List<String> carts = allCarts.entrySet().stream()
                    .filter(e -> (e.getValue().stream().map(f -> f.getProductId()).collect(Collectors.toList()).containsAll(cart)))
                    .map(e -> e.getKey()).collect(Collectors.toList());

A: I think this one is more simple, filters if value equal x then returns a list of keys.
List<String> result = map.entrySet().stream()
.filter(e -> e.getValue().equals(x))
.map(e -> e.getKey()).collect(Collectors.toList());

DeVante Parker commented on belief Patriots lack an elite receiver
Jordy McElroy
January 17, 2023, 11:48 AM ·2 min read
It's the same topic every offseason for the New England Patriots: Will this be the year that they finally sign an elite receiver? If you ask DeVante Parker, he'd tell you that moment happened last offseason, when he was traded to New England by the Miami Dolphins.
An Instagram post ran down Parker's 2022 stats and pointed out the veteran receiver being a "top-tier" option for Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, when healthy.
Parker appeared in 13 games and finished the season with 31 catches for 539 yards and three touchdowns. However, the poster seems to believe a change with the offensive play-caller would make a huge difference, and by the looks of it, Parker would agree.
The Patriots receiver responded and agreed that he's the elite playmaker fans have been clamoring to see on the offensive side of the ball.
It would be better for the Patriots if Parker really was that guy. That would allow the team to save their resources to address other areas of need on the roster.
But health has been a lingering issue for Parker throughout his career. "If only DeVante Parker could stay healthy" was the oft-used phrase in Miami that could have made a fortune on t-shirts and bumper stickers. But eventually, the team got tired and traded the former first-round draft pick to the Patriots.
And now, Patriots fans are saying the exact same thing.
That isn't to insinuate that Parker can't be great in the offense with a competent play-caller. But can he be elite? That might be a stretch for a receiver with only one 1,000-yard season in over seven years.

Um, Scarcity?
Sandy Ikeda
The new mayor of New York wants to make city streets safer. According to The New York Times:
Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday unveiled a sweeping set of proposals aimed at improving street safety in New York City, pledging considerable police resources and even precious political capital in Albany to a most ambitious goal: eliminating traffic deaths.
Not just lowering traffic deaths, mind you. Eliminating them.
I posed the following question to my students: If His Honor did manage to eliminate all traffic deaths in the city, how might that policy actually raise the total number of deaths? The answer lies in understanding a very basic lesson in economics: Scarcity matters.
What Is Scarcity?
Scarcity is what gives something economic value. Scarcity results when our wants exceed available, want-satisfying resources. The air we breathe outside is ordinarily not scarce, while the air we need to breathe underwater usually is. Consequently, to those who want air to breathe, the value of outside air is low while the value of underwater air is high.
Although we are often tempted to ignore scarcity, it's impossible to escape its consequences. For example, there are not enough hours in a day to consume as much leisure as I want and also to earn as much income as I want. But the more I work the less time is left for leisure, and vice versa. Scarcity entails trading off some ends for other ends.
Now, if I'm spending my own private resources to pursue ends of my choosing—to buy a shirt for myself or a gift for someone else—scarcity is hard to ignore. But it's much easier to overlook if I'm spending someone else's valuable resources—when someone else is footing the bill. And because modern governments sustain themselves precisely by spending other people's resources (acquired through taxation or inflation), public officials are far more likely to ignore scarcity and its consequences than a private person is. They may not be aware of the costs of a choice, but those costs always fall on someone, somewhere.
I argued recently that you can almost define economics as "the science that explains why passing a law won't get it done" because the unintended consequences of a government intervention tend to frustrate what its advocates want to achieve. In that essay I emphasized how an intervention generates unintended consequences because society is so complex. But often the problem is simply that public officials ignore the existence of scarcity. If they spend more of the government budget on traffic control, that means spending less on preventing violent crime, and they may not like the results.
Political Rhetoric or Social Science Fiction?
So when I read about de Blasio's plan, it caught my eye. The article goes on to say:
The 42-page plan is rooted in a Swedish street safety approach known as Vision Zero, which treats all traffic deaths as inherently preventable. Perhaps the most significant changes involve the New York Police Department, whose officers will increase precinct-level enforcement of speeding.
I've developed a soft spot for Sweden lately because it has taken major steps at the macroeconomic level toward a freer economy.
We here in the United States should learn from these steps. So I visited the website of Vision Zero and found much to like in their approach, which tries to take into account the imperfection of human behavior. They claim that safety in Sweden has improved, presumably as a result of Vision Zero.
The trouble begins when you look closely at the underlying philosophy.
The first is the idea that "no loss of life is acceptable" if it's caused by traffic. But why stop there? Why should traffic deaths be less acceptable than deaths by poisoning or by drowning or from the flu or from a myriad of other causes? The same arguments they make for eliminating traffic deaths could be made for those. But Vision Zero doesn't make them, perhaps because if they did it might direct scarce resources away from their pet project, or because at some level they realize that it's too costly to eliminate all accidental deaths.
Second, Vision Zero places the bulk of the responsibility for safety not on the imperfect driver or pedestrian but on the less imperfect "professionals" in charge. Aside from the uncomfortable paternalistic overtones of that attitude, as I explained in the column I reference earlier, making driver "safer" can cause more accidents. In order to minimize accidents, the driver and pedestrian must bear the costs of their actions, otherwise they have an incentive to act recklessly.
At any rate, in each of these cases the VZ folks can't possibly mean what they are saying because it utterly ignores scarcity. The spokesperson says that people should be able to demand (and presumably get) freedom, mobility, and safety all at once. Since what Vision Zero is purportedly aiming for is perfect safety—which is what is supposed to make the approach novel—then he must also mean perfect freedom and perfect mobility as well. In world of scarcity, that's fantasy, or to be more precise, it's social science fiction.
Surely, it's only political rhetoric. At least I hope so. But there's another problem with Vision Zero.
Ought Implies Can
If drivers and pedestrians who put their lives at risk still make mistakes, why should we assume that traffic professionals who don't have as much to lose won't also make mistakes? They can't possibly anticipate every contingency, nor would we want them to if the cost is going to be sky high. Everyone makes choices that might contribute to an accident. But why can't an accident, even a terrible one, simply be an accident? Why does it have to be somebody's fault, every time? I think this is wrong-headed.
I'm not saying that lowering traffic deaths isn't a good thing. But making it a moral problem, by placing the main responsibility for saving lives on experts, is confused. Morality is related to economy, of course, but probably not in the way its proponents think.
As my colleague Steve Horwitz put it, "Ought implies can." Economic concepts such as scarcity help us get a handle on what's possible, the set of feasible choices, from among which we can choose. The "eliminate deaths" approach ignores the feasible and goes right to what we would like to see. Sure, bringing the number of traffic deaths to zero would be great, if it could be done at a reasonable cost. But I can say with assurance that the cost would not be reasonable.
That's because "pledging considerable police resources" to eliminate traffic deaths necessarily means drawing police and other resources (for narrowing streets or installing devices that will penalize taxis for speeding) away from other areas, such as monitoring thefts or preventing violent crime and so on. In that way, Vision Zero could wind up taking away more life than it saves. The total effect would be an empirical question.
The mayor points out that last year there were 176 pedestrian deaths in the city. That works out to about 2.2 deaths per 100,000 persons, which is significantly higher than the national average of 1.58 deaths. Now, New York City has an above-average number of pedestrians per 100,000 persons, which might explain much of the difference, but it might be a good thing anyway to try to lower that number to somewhere closer to the national average. And that's where people get uncomfortable with economists because we'll often talk about the "optimal" number of deaths in such a case.
But when we say something is optimal, we're not trying to morally justify those deaths. We're only trying to make it clearer what the realm of the possible is—what we can do. Can we do better with existing resources? Almost certainly; our knowledge is never perfect and there's always room for improvement. Can we increase government resources by increasing taxation and through inflation? Yes, we can!
That won't solve the fundamental problem though. Even with a bigger budget, scarcity and the hard choices it entails won't go away. The sooner real-world governments and their supporters realize it the better.

Ngā Uri Ō – Descendants of
The Journey of Ngā Uri Ō
(photos of Ngā Uri Ō at the Sovereign and Youthline workshop March 2016)
Earlier in the year Lifehack gathered in Manukau along with Sovereign and Youthline where we facilitated 1.5 days of looking at how the group could create a buzz around Youthline Manukau, how we could encourage volunteers and how we could help retain them. More on this collaboration here and here.
As part of the collaboration between the three organisations, we invited Christina Leef (Lifehack Flourishing Fellow and Māori Entrepreneur) to explore ways through which we could honour participants' different cultural tikanga and acknowledge the place we were based in: Manukau. Through exploring the local South Auckland community landscape, we came to acknowledge the diversity and richness of what was present locally. We wanted to find a way that paid tribute to people's personal background whilst creating a shared understanding of the importance of co-creating a space together. A space for creation, experimentation and idea generation that was safe, built on trust and thrived on diversity.
Ngā Uri Ō is the prototype of that work. Co-created between Christina, members of the Manukau community and the Youthline Manukau crew, it presents a guiding theme to allow participants to explore their own whakapapa, that of others, and that of the group. In this instance it is based on the individual waterways flowing together into the Manukau Harbour.
Representation of wai/water
In all the three steps below, you will see the word 'wai' used in all three questions. Wai in Māori means water. In our current prototype below, you will see we have captured Ngā uri ō using wai / water. Ko wai au and ko wai koe is represented by the different waterways / paths we have come from acknowledging our background, experiences and knowledge. When we all unite together it forms an awa / river which is the common purpose that has brought the group together.
Once we have navigated the river through whanaungatanga / connecting we can then look at who are we together and what do we need to work on and agree too to step into the waka to begin paddling together in unison to begin the work.
There are 3 components to Ngā Uri Ō, the role of the self, the role of the other, and the role of the collective. Have a look below to explore the questions asked at every point.
Ko wai au? / Who am I?
This dives into understanding yourself on a deeper level. Questions you could ask yourself could be:
What is my whakapapa? Where do I come from and what has gone before me?
What experiences and knowledge do I bring to the group?
What do I need in this group to feel safe and nourished?
What challenges do I want to give myself in this mahi/work together?
What am I passionate about and why?
How am I?
By asking yourself these questions, you can prepare yourself for your time together with a group and how you want to arrive.
We used this component in our work through inviting participants to reflect on similar questions in a survey leading up to a workshop. This way it allows time for people to really explore these questions and help ground them in what they are about to step into.
We also use this in the first day of any of our programmes and workshops, where we allow ample time for whanaungatanga and giving people space to introduce themselves and arrive. We call this process 'checking in', where people get to explore the above questions and share what they feel comfortable to share, eg whether they feel nervous, exciting, side-tracked by something else that's going on in their life etc.
Ko wai koe? / Who are you?
This is an opportunity for others to be heard and for the group to understand what everyone is bringing to the mahi (work). From the Māori dictionary, whanaungatanga can mean a relationship through shared experiences and working together which provides people with a sense of belonging. Through listening to others you will start to find connections which will draw you to follow up with them and talk more, through this you might see common themes or differences in the group.
There are many ways we have used this component in workshops and programmes from more intimate work of pair walks, to being playful with drawing each other as superheros after listening to each other.
Ko wai tātau? / Who are we?
At this stage we are moving from looking at who you are, who your pairs are in the group, to how we are all together to move forward and be united in the work. Here is a Māori whakatauki / proverb capturing this well:
Once we have worked through 'who am I?' and 'who are you?', 'who are we?' will naturally be starting to come together. build a shared agreement of how we want to work together, allowing space to speak about how to create a safe and nurturing environment, to tie a nice bow on this last step. Some questions to prompt this thinking to the group can be:
What do I need to flourish in this space?
How can we create space for each other to flourish?
From previous group work, what has worked well and could be applied to this space?
Am I usually first to speak in a group or last? How do we nurture our differences with group contributions?
Lifehack generates this shared agreement in collaboration with the group. We allow space for people to either write their suggestions on a Post it or share openly with the group to begin the conversation. Once everything has been voiced, negotiated and agreed upon, we then write it on a large piece of paper that gets hung on the wall in the working space for everyone to refer too. It's the group's shared agreement, it's the group all hopping into the waka so we can paddle forward in unison.
Where Ngā Uri Ō is now
We are using the concept below through programme design, team culture and with co-designing projects with others. We are now reaching out and sharing it with others by speaking about Ngā Uri Ō at the Design for Social Innovation Symposium on the 13th of July to show how we use it, open source it, but also to put it front of others to see what lands well and what doesn't so we can continue to iterate and build to this prototype.

The flagship boutique presents an intimate setting where Chang is able to "interact directly with [his] clients and provide a greater opportunity to meet them personally." This is Chang's second store in Miami, a move motivated by an increase in demand that required a more expansive space in order to accommodate new clients and ample supply. The Peruvian designer's US made globally inspired collections result in bold prints, bright colors,with striking silhouettes, and have been worn by several celebrities such as Gloria Estefan, Britney Spears, and the Kardashians.
When looking for a new location, Chang scouted spaces in Wynwood, the Design District, and Miami Beach, but circled back to MiMo: familiar with the growing and bustling area, Chang said "it just felt right to stay here."

The Parklane Group has unveiled a new addition to its suite of brands, which will set out to transform a historical building in Manchester's NOMA district as its first development. The Homezzz brand is focussed towards investors, who are looking to realise potential in the UK rental market at gateway city locations in the UK. The first scheme to be revealed will see the former Co-operative print works in Manchester transformed into more than sixty luxurious rental units, helping to reveal the former grandeur of this historic location.
The multi-million pound project, named The Press, which is located on New Mount Street in the NOMA district, will deliver 66 residential units of between one and three beds. It draws heavily on 'New York Apartment' stylings, and many of the building's original features such as exposed brick and ironwork, high ceilings and large windows, will be brought to the fore as part of the redevelopment. The c50,000sq ft site will be delivered as part of a new Joint Venture between Homezzz and Salboy Ltd, with work due to commence on site early in the New Year.
The grade two listed building traces its history back to the 1870's, when it was used as a print works for the Co-operative. During the 1990's the building saw an incarnation as a crucial part of Manchester's music scene, whereby both Oasis and James recorded early material at the site. Latterly, the space has been used as serviced offices.
Homezzz has been developed to address emerging trends in the property sector for private rental accommodation. Research suggests that, by 2035, more people are set to rent their properties, than own outright, and building like The Press will help address this demand.

Rabbi Says Jews Should Renounce Their "Whiteness" and Double Down on Anti-Racism
Web Team | September 29, 2015 | 13643no commentshttp%3A%2F%2Ftheamericanfreedomparty.us%2Frabbi-says-jews-should-renounce-their-whiteness-and-double-down-on-anti-racism%2FRabbi+Says+Jews+Should+Renounce+Their+%E2%80%9CWhiteness%E2%80%9D+and+Double+Down+on+Anti-Racism2015-09-29+09%3A07%3A08Web+Teamhttp%3A%2F%2Ftheamericanfreedomparty.us%2F%3Fp%3D13643
Though most on the alt-right have long considered jews to be non-white — if not by blood then by culture, and if not by either, by the history of elite jews using their influence to undermine goy society — one rabbi has come out in support of American jews renouncing their status as 'White Americans.'
Unlikely to agree on much else, both the alt-right and ((((Gil Steinlauf)))) are at odds with the mainstream perception of American jews, who are mostly ashkenazim, as White. Steinlauf notes this was a status they did not always have, but his reasoning behind why he rejects it and is encouraging other jews to do the same is remarkably useful. The article is titled (and subtitled):
Jews in America struggled for decades to become white. Now we must give up whiteness to fight racism. Let's teach our children that we are, in fact, not white, but simply Jewish.
Right off the bat we have two important affirmations:
Whiteness is a status to jews and rather than an identity.
Fighting racism requires giving up "whiteness."
You can still keep your jewish identity; it's the White one that has to be attacked.
(Tell that to the Palestinians.)
And in Shlomo's own words:
The brilliance of being Jewish, though, is that we stubbornly refuse to fit into any social construct of power or oppression. We are simply Ivri'im, people from "somewhere else," people who struggle with God and justice, who demand that the rest of the world does, too, and see every human life as sacred because we are all in the image of God. And the truth is, we have never belonged to one race alone. The Torah tells us that we left Egypt with the "erev rav," with a mixed multitude of peoples. Around the world there are Jews of color, Asian Jews, Jews of all kinds. The idea that Jews are white is not only ridiculous, it's offensive to who we really are! Yes, societies like America come along sometimes and give us privileges and powerful labels like "white." In America's racist social construct, Jews are very much white people, but we must never again think of ourselves that way — it's time for us to opt out of that racist paradigm, because we are Jews.
Did "Black Lives Matter" when Jewish slave merchants transported Africans across the Atlantic Ocean?
Being jewish is clearly something important and an identity worthy of celebration and praise. Being White is racism, so that's bad. You need to stop supporting "whiteness" to fight racism. In fact, it's offensive to be labelled as White. Oy vey! Of course, jews will still be jews even if they stop identifying as White. Their identity and people will survive. This is such a clear cut case of the my-tribal-identity-is-good-and-yours-is-bad trope employed by jewish authors against goyim—the dual morality of in-group versus out-group—that it speaks for itself without further comment.
Imagine what we and our children could be like if we associate our Jewishness with an essential statement against racism and discrimination. Even though we and our children have benefited from the best schools and jobs and housing that whiteness affords, we can be the ones to challenge the system from within. We can be the ones who change business practices, housing codes, policing, correctional facilities, social policies, unequal schools — motivated by our values and our Jewish historical experience. Indeed, so many progressive leaders in this country have been Jews (including some Jewish founders of the NAACP), motivated exactly by this vision. But so many more of us need to own our real power, which is not our whiteness, but our Jewishness, our Torah and our tradition that motivates us to remember the stranger, for we were strangers in Egypt; that calls on us to lift up the cause of all those who are oppressed.
I don't know about you, but my sides have left the planet. Rabbi, are you implying that jews don't already use their power and influence to combat "racism" in the United States, with racism of course meaning the existence of a White majority and White group interests? What was that about ((((business codes)))) and ((((housing practices))))… And to define jewish identity as an "essential statement against racism and discrimination," aka anti-racism, is simply to be anti-white, because prosecuting racism is never about promoting racial harmony but simply hunting down ethnocentric White people and practices. Meanwhile, as is obvious from this article, tribal behavior among jews is not only totally fine but also good for social justice. It is only pathological for White people to display tribal loyalties.
In other words, he's saying that to be jewish is to be consciously against the White majority, which has almost always been the case throughout our unfortunate histories and is why jews remain unassimilated. It is why they reject Christianity; it is why they consume kosher food; it is why they commemorate the jewish Maccabean Revolt against the (Hellenic) Seleucid empire almost two thousand years ago every year during Hanukkah; it is why Israel exists as a country; it is why they promote cultural marxism—it is why jews are jews.
He's literally saying "jewishness" is about siding with the "oppressed." Under the jewish framework of cultural marxism, this means deconstructing White people, because all the building blocks of Western civilization are inherently bad and we need to make sure ethno-nationalism for Whites/Europeans never happens again, since that would be bad for jews, who as rabbi tells us, are not White. True progress is a world without any White-majority countries, where jews are conveniently no longer identified as White by the societies they're living in. You'd like that, Shlomo, wouldn't you? You'd love for the schvartzers to think that you think that #BlackLivesMatter. You'd love for the Latinos coming in to replace Whites to think you're a fellow minority rather than another ethnic variety of gringo. You'd love for Asians to sort you apart from Anglos.
I don't think it's going to work. I think the people being brought in thanks to your immigration lobbying are going to see you as oppressors. They vote left and you're the richest group per capita in this country. 'Jewish privilege' is already a thing being floated in academic circles. The only other option is to be completely submissive to their demands, like Bernie Sanders is. So strategically, ditching the ability to pass as White among the White majority makes sense, given that the United States is projected to lose its White majority and the zeitgeist is increasingly anti-White. Why join the losing team?
This article is spectacular from a metapolitical standpoint, as an American jewish leader is on record being as anti-white and unintentionally tribal as possible. He is a rabbi and therefore a leader of the American jewish community, so his opinion is important. I think it's a great article and I hope a lot of cuckservatives read it and feel something. To boil it down, the main takeaways are essentially:
Jews don't see themselves as White.
Jews believe in fighting racism, which is a proxy for fighting against White people.
The proxy is actually really shitty and transparent since they're calling it "whiteness."
Jewish culture is inherently leftist on issues pertaining to its hosts and conservative pertaining to itself.
Wake the fuck up, goyim.
Go read TOO and the Daily Stormer.
And of course, TheRightStuff.biz.

How to Build a Botnet
Sound the alarms – bots are taking over.
A report in December of 2013 reported that 61.5% of website traffic was performed by bots [1]. Social media in particular has emerged as a unique hot bed of automation, where a stunning number of accounts are automated. A recent report issued by Twitter stated that nearly 8% of their users interact with the network in an automated, bot-like fashion [2]. In Twitter's SEC filing, they updated the number to about 11% [3]. However, it is a common misconception that automation on social networks is harmful to end-users . Many bots are programmed for legitimate uses, like weather updates, sports scores, retweet bots and chatroom policing [4]. Due to the utility of automation and the social network's open APIs, bots thrive on social networks. There is, of course, a dark side to automation.
Anatomy of a Social Botnet
Social networks were some of the first organizations to incorporate open APIs into their business model. Public access to social network APIs is important for the best and most personalized user experience, however cyber criminals with malicious intentions exploit this programmatic access to hundreds of millions of users [5]. These malicious actors build legions of interconnected bots, known as botnets, that can spread malware [7], collect intelligence on high profile accounts for counterintelligence or spread influence for terrorist organizations [8].
Not only do these cyber criminals leverage the social networks for their own malicious ends, but they can do so from a single computer. Traditionally, cyber criminals had to infect each computer independently in order to build out a botnet [9]. A social media bot doesn't equal one infected computer, but a social media account, which is much simpler to create and control. The herders also do not have to rely on maintaining a foothold on the target account considering they "own" the social account, whereas traditional bot infections involve an infection vector. Given that social networks acquire thousands of new users daily it can be very difficult for both social networks and the end user to differentiate the benign bots from the malicious — it's tough to tell the grass from the weeds.
For the hacker managing the botnet, or "herder", obtaining accounts to build an army can be tricky. Social networks do a great job of limiting mass registrations of accounts by IP address, frequency and authentication. Additionally, creating fake accounts violates terms of service [10][11], so some effort must go into evading these policies. One work-around is to buy large numbers of packaged accounts from a variety of websites. Hackers can also automate the creation of these bots through web scraping software [13] combined with an IP masking program like Tor [14]. Herders can subsequently set up an infrastructure to control these bots.
Users buy and sell accounts online.
Social botnets are split into two categories. The first is an ad hoc, web scraping-type approach. Herders register massive numbers of accounts with just username and passwords to a "warez" application that can parse HTML content from the social networks to submit requests as if they were logged onto the websites with real browsers. Benefits to this approach include non-attribution, because all posts are made from the default browser client. The downfall to this approach is that social networks change their CSS layouts and source code frequently. If the source changes a core part of the warez scraper, then users of the software are out of luck and need to wait for a new release.
Bot herder interphase.
The second approach is a social network application based infrastructure. Well known social networks only allow programmatic access to social accounts via registered applications–similar to how an app requires authorization to be installed on a smart phone. Basic application creation and access only requires an app name, e-mail and a domain name for most of the large social networks. A herder registers their app with a phoney purpose and begins their recruitment process. Each bot authorizes the app to perform actions on its behalf, and these credentials are stored. When a herder wants to initiate a request, it uses these credentials to essentially say "I am authorized to post for this user with this content," and the network subsequently processes the request. The benefit of this approach is that APIs rarely change. When they do change, there is a long adoption process and the old versions depreciate very slowly. The downfall to the app approach is that the networks have more control on how these herders are using their API, and have strong mechanisms in place to measure abuse in order to ban these accounts and applications.
Each application can be thought of as a bot "head", which can control hundreds to thousands of bots underneath it. Herders issue a command to the bot head, and the bot head can choose a targeted or random profile to perform that action. Herders scale these by creating many applications and many bot heads to build their empire to hundreds of thousands of automated profiles. These can be controlled via traditional command and control infrastructures, which range from chatrooms to websites to the social networks themselves. Commands include using hashtags, following users, shortening attack URLs and spamming a hashtag.
Bot herders automate commands for their botnets.
Botnet Attacks
ZeroFOX has observed and reported a myriad of attacks related to social botnets. One common tactic we monitor, hashtag hijacking, abuses trending hashtags by posting malicious, phishing or spam links to the hashtag due to its popularity. Such was the case when cyber attackers targeted a large media conglomerate. An innocuous hashtag, simply the name of an event, was repurposed to spread malware, phishing links and spam. Followers of the media conglomerate were bombarded by dangerous tweets, much to the detriment of the organization itself.
In this case, and many others, the handles of the offending accounts were the first characteristic to raise eyebrows – users like @xybiXXXXdehub or @rijidXXXXojak. The handles are randomly generated and have high text entropy (entropy is a metric to determine the randomness of a string of characters). A scroll through any of their profiles shows scammy posts about free Viagra and pornography downloads. To help throw off the social networks' sensors, their "About Me" sections contain structured yet meaningless blobs of text, often random descriptions generated from dictionaries.
A typical randomly generated About Me section of a bot.
These bots exhibit "spray and pray" tactics, meaning they post a high volume of links, only expecting one or two get clicked. Bots are automated to append trending hashtags, like in this case-study, in order to amplify the audience and easily turn the attack into a targeted attack. The bots tweet malicious links in bursts, followed by a series of text-based tweets. By posting links incrementally, they create a sinusoidal link frequency – just enough to avoid being flagged. The text-based tweets are often canned book passages or algorithmically generated semi-coherent strings of words – just enough to look normal.
Another attack, known as a retweet storm, abuses the ability for a tweet to rise in popularity due to the number of retweets. These are especially useful if you want to "pin" a malicious message to a trend because it's so popular. If this tweet contains a malicious link, or is seen as abusive by Twitter, they may ban the original poster, but not every user that retweeted that tweet. The link will remain on the accounts of all the retweeting profiles.The banned bot, known as the "martyr bot", sacrifices itself at the cost of one account.
Retweet storms are also abused by people selling their botnet armies for popularity. Popular websites let users pay for retweets, friends, followers or even shout-outs on botnets.
Online marketers pay bot herders to distribute their message.
Botnet herders range from "dumb" botnets to ones that are harder to find. Avoidance techniques to "look human" and to evade detection include:
Posting during the same times that a human in the region will post, like during core work hours, during the day and sometimes later in the night on the weekend
Posting statuses with benign text, usually passages from newspapers, books or even from the timelines of other users
Use the above posting techniques for months to set up a smokescreen and to build clout with followers in the same social network neighborhood
Buy friends or followers via the methods listed previously
Automatically retweet popular posts from the accounts that they are following
I presented at BSidesROC about these issues, as well as issues surrounding the inherent trust exhibited by users on social networks. You can view the presentation and review the sample botnet we created. We also presented at Shmoocon, highlighting how these strategies were implemented by a college class to attack each other for a semester project.

'Buy your own sex toys' May tells MPs
Whether it's an ebony butt plug, a lifelike rubber super-phallus or a 10 function G Spot Bluetooth enabled dual touch Rabbit in a choice of colours, I'm operating a strict 'buy-it-yourself' policy,' the Prime Minister told party whips last night. 'All too often we are finding researchers wasting time in a queue at the Palace of Westminster in-house branch of Anne Summers when they should be trying to sort out the Brexit mess or making tea' she added.
'I'm well aware of the culture of hard work and late hours that MPs have to endure. It's totally understandable they should, during down time, want to chase attractive secretaries and interns of either sex down the corridors of power brandishing a purple Love-honey realistic anal prober, paid for by the tax payer. But entrusting the purchase choice of sex aids to inexperienced aids of either sex leads to delays and misunderstandings between MPs and staff. Which is why MP's should make their own choices,' Mrs May continued, adding that each item should be added to the list of Members' interests, apart from consumables like edible underwear, lube, poppers and trauma counselling.
Matters came to a head when it was revealed that an anatomically correct sex doll dressed in a wig and M & S twinset passed undetected at a meeting of the Conservative Party 1922 committee. The Brandy Big Boob 3-hole sex doll appeared to tremble slightly when the committee voted on how to bring down inflation. She later went through the 'Yes' lobby for the Employment Practices Act
Meanwhile, it's been announced that the most-sold item in the Commons public gallery gift shop is Westminster Bubble Bath.

BAKU: After scoring twice in Chelsea's 4-1 win over Arsenal in the Europa League final, Eden Hazard said it was the moment to call time on his magnificent career with the London club to seek new challenges.
The Belgian is widely expected to join Real Madrid and he capped a superb display against Premier League rivals Arsenal by converting from the penalty spot to make it 3-0 before adding the fourth to complete the rout.
"My dream was to play in the Premier League and I did it for seven years. I think it's a goodbye," Hazard told BT Sport.
Chelsea had broken the deadlock in the 49th minute through former Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud and Hazard created the second goal for substitute Pedro.
"It was good. The first half both teams had a bit of stress because it was a final. But when Olly (Giroud) scored it was the beginning of a great night," Hazard said.
"We played well in the second half. We tried to play our football and we knew we had the players to do that. It is a great trophy to win."
Hazard, 28, joined Chelsea from Lille in 2012 for 32 million pounds ($40.41 million) and won the Europa League in his first season, later winning the Premier League title in 2015 and 2017 as well as one League Cup and one FA Cup.
Real Madrid have not tried to hide their desire to sign the Hazard, with president Florentino Perez admitting this week that he has been chasing his signature for years and expects to land the Belgian this summer.

Fatallity became famous because of Justin Bieber.
Canyon with nevygovarivaemym, Fatallity in the South of Iceland, which became popular after shooting of the clip there's Justin Bieber, cover by 1 June. The reason for this decision of the Agency for the protection of the environment of Iceland is the excessive influx of tourists.
Yet the Icelandic environmental Agency closed the canyon to 1 June. In fact, the original natural attraction had planned to close only two weeks, and did so on February 27. But hopes that this time will have time to recover tourists trampled the vegetation on the trails, did not materialize. Access for tourists had to be closed a second time.
According to the Director of the national Agency for tourism Visit Iceland Inga Hlin Palsdottir, the canyon is a natural wonder, and it should be treated with care. However, the fact that the canyon is closed, not only the fault of fans to walk around the filming locations of popular movies and clips.
"Not only tourists, but the spring thaw affects Fatallity. So you don't have to constantly close the canyon, you need to create infrastructure for tourists and not allow them to go where you want. In Iceland is now much more guests than a couple of years ago, this need to adapt," says head of Visit Iceland.
Wikipedia reports that is a canyon in South East Iceland whose depth reaches 100 m, and length – about 2 km. Through it flows the river Viagra. The steep canyon walls and winding water. Its origin dates back to the cold periods of the ice age about two million years ago.
The Icelandic Fatallity became famous after clip of Justin Bieber "I'll Show You", filmed there in 2015.
There's also a video on YouTube of tourists to this natural attraction has doubled.

Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) Market 2021 with COVID-19 After Effects Growth Drivers, Top Key Players, Industry Segments and Forecast to 2030
(MENAFN- America News Hour) In a recent published report, Kenneth Research has updated the market report for Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) Market for 2021 till 2030. Report further now discusses; the various strategies to be adopted or being adopted by the business players across the globe at various levels in the value chain. In the view of the global economic slowdown, we further estimated that China, India, Japan and South Korea to recover fastest amongst all the countries in the Asian market. Germany, France, Italy, Spain to take the worst hit and this hit is expected to be regain 25% by the end of 2021- Positive Growth in the economic demand and supply.
U.S. Market recovers fast; In a release on May 4th 2021, the U.S. Bureau and Economic Analsysis and U.S. Census Bureau mentions the recovery in the U.S. International trade in March 2021. Exports in the country reached $200 billion, up by $12.4 billion in Feb 2021. Following the continuous incremental trend, imports tallied at $274.5 billion, picked up by $16.4 billion in Feb 2021. However, as COVID19 still haunts the economies across the globe, year-over-year (y-o-y) avergae exports in the U.S. declined by $7.0 billion from March 2020 till March 2021 whilest imports increased by $20.7 billion during the same time. This definitely shows how the market is trying to recover back and this will have a direct impact on the Healthcare/ICT/Chemical industries, creating a huge demand for Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) Market products.
A Concentrator Photovoltaic (CPV) system transforms light energy into electrical energy in the similar way the conventional photovoltaic technology does. The optical components, which are also known as optical concentrators, are manufactured to harvest sunlight from a broad area of incidence and concentrate it directly onto a small area covered by the photovoltaic (PV) cells. This phenomenon vitalizes the intensity of the incident sunlight reaching the PV cells, which in turn, increase the amount of the power the cells can generate.
Download Sample of This Strategic Report:-
In 2015, a new world record was set for global investment in renewable energy with a total investment of USD 285.9 billion. (UN Environmental Programme). The current and future planned investment in renewable energy is expected to lead the solar industry. Solar electricity in most of the developed economies is competitive with conventional energy sources.This has created a lucrative market for solar industry across the world. The global initiative to promote renewable energy and reduce harmful emission is likely to drive the global concentrated photovoltaic market.
In 2015, Soitec demonstrated a CPV module efficiency of 38.9 % at Concentrator Standard Test Conditions (CSTC), and efficiencies of commercially available CPV modules exceed 30%. The continuous effort from renowned research institutes such as National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and many others to improve the efficiency of the CPV, thus reducing the overall cost associated with the system. CPV electricity generation is dependent on DNI as it does not absorb any diffuse radiation from the sun. This has made CPV technology more feasible in the high Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) regions across the globe. A huge number of the CPV systems are likely to be deployed in these sunlight-rich regions in the coming years.

The Ending of 'Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life' Is Pretty Depressing When You Approach It From a Different Angle
Andrea Francese
Amy Sherman-Palladino, the showrunner of Gilmore Girls, finally got the chance to end her series the way she always wanted. The case came nine years after Gilmore Girls originally went off the air in the form of a Netflix revival. With four words, Sherman-Palladino ensured Rory Gilmore and Lorelai Gilmore's lives were completely intertwined. That's what she always intended. Sherman-Palladino has stated she planned to bring the story full-circle. While that can be viewed as a good thing, if you look at it from a different angle, the story's full-circle nature is actually kind of depressing.
Amy Sherman-Palladino's "full-circle" vision for Gilmore Girls is actually kind of depressing
The concept of bringing the entire storyline full-circle is pretty depressing if you look at it through a slightly darker lens. One Reddit user points out that Sherman-Palladino's decision to intertwine Rory and Lorelai's storylines suggests a person is destined to repeat the mistakes of their closest loved ones, over and over again, regardless of the opportunities they have been given.

Rory was given all of the opportunities in the world. Not only did she graduate from a prestigious prep school and an Ivy League college, but she had deep connections that could have gotten her ahead in her chosen field. Rory, however, had to fail, just as her mother had done. Yes, Lorelai rebounded and made a comfortable life for herself, but her struggles were seemingly needless, just as Rory's struggle was needless.
Rory's troubled love life can be traced back to Lorelai, too
Rory's professional life wasn't the only thing in disarray when fans reconnected with her nine years after Gilmore Girls went off the air. Her romantic life made almost no sense. There was foreshadowing in the original series that Rory would have difficulty committing to a romantic partner, though. Rory's romantic troubles closely mimicked Lorelai's challenges in love.

Rory cheated on Dean with Jess. Later, she attempted to cheat on Logan with Jess, too. Rory also didn't have a problem cheating with Dean. In the revival, didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that both she and Logan were cheating on their partners with each other. Her inability to form a healthy and lasting relationship could be linked to Lorelai's romantic difficulties while raising Rory. Her romantic troubles once again prove that Rory, regardless of her privilege, was destined to make the same mistakes as her mother.
Will fans get to see more from Rory and Lorelai Gilmore?
Sherman-Palladino made it clear that the final four words were exactly how she planned to leave the show. That doesn't mean another revival season is out of the question, though. Sherman-Palladino and her husband, Dan Palladino, are both open to returning to Stars Hollow for another season. Several of the actors are willing to step back on the set, too.
RELATED: 'Gilmore Girls': Logan Huntzberger Wasn't Supposed to be Rory's Love Interest
So, what's the hold-up? The only thing standing in the way of another season is scheduling. When Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life was filmed, all of the actors were able to fit the project into their schedule. Four years later, things have just gotten busier. That doesn't mean it won't happen, though. Rumors are continuing to swirl that planning is underway for another revival season.

Exhibition | Peru: Kingdoms of the Sun and Moon
Posted in books, catalogues, exhibitions by Editor on January 18, 2013
Press release (26 October 2012) from the MMFA:
Peru: Kingdoms of the Sun and Moon: Identities and Conquest
in the Early, Colonial and Modern Periods
Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, 2 February — 16 June 2013
Seattle Art Museum, 17 October 2013 — 5 January 2014
Curated by Victor Pimentel

Organized by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Peru: Kingdoms of the Sun and Moon will display an extensive collection of pre-Columbian treasures and masterpieces from the colonial era to Indigenism, including over 100 pieces that have never before been seen outside of Peru. With more than 350 works of art (paintings, sculptures, gold and silver ornaments, pottery, photograph, works on paper, and textiles) on loan from public and private collections in Peru, Canada, United States, France, and Germany, this exhibition covers roughly 3,000 years of history, including archaeological discoveries in recent decades.
"In conceiving this exhibition on the question of identity in Latin America following our exhibition Cuba! Art and History from 1868 to today presented in 2008, I was fascinated to discover the extent to which archaeology has revealed this birthplace of civilization – one of six such in the world – only recently in the course of the 20th century" explains Nathalie Bondil, Director and Chief Curator of the MMFA. "This exhibition demonstrates how the retrospective view of history shifted from a colonial interpretation to a new nationalist feeling in the course of the modern era. This complex project brings together numerous loans, both public and private, from Peru, some of which have not been exhibited before. Above all, the display features paintings of the era subsequent to the Spanish Conquest and, for the first time outside Peru, of the Indigenist period after independence. The constant elements of a civilization built up over millennia open up perspectives never before opened," she added.

Mythical Peru, cradle of Andean civilization, and its pre-Hispanic, colonial and modern history will be examined in the four sections of the exhibition as follows:
• Section 1 (introduction) will explain how archaeology rewrote the national history beginning with the discovery, in 1911, of Machu Picchu to the recent restitution of artworks.
• Section 2 will focus on the myths and rituals of the early civilizations of the Andes, highlighting their role in forming and shaping Peruvian identity during the pre-Columbian era.
• Section 3 will illustrate the perpetuation, concealment, and hybridization of the indigenous culture during the colonial period.
• The last section will highlight the rediscovery of this culture in the 20th century and the revalorization of ancient symbols of identity in contemporary Peruvian iconography.
Adds Exhibition Curator Victor Pimentel, Curator of Pre-Columbian Art at the MMFA, "Through the representation and reinterpretation of myths, rituals and other primordial symbols of identity captured by different artistic traditions, the exhibition will illustrate how the evocative power of images have influenced the history of pre-Hispanic, colonial and modern Peru."
Illustrating the beliefs and rituals of pre-Columbian societies
The relationship with death, particularly the constant dialogue between the world of the living and the world of the dead, is an essential component of Andean spirituality. Among the Mochicas, ceremonial sacrifices contributed to the perpetuation of the supernatural and social orders, while ancestor worship held significant importance to the Lambayeque and Chimú cultures.
In order to illustrate the beliefs and rituals that dominated the life of pre-Columbian societies, the exhibition will focus on objects associated with the sacrificial ceremony of the Mochica people (200 B.C. to 800 A.D.) and the funerary rites of the Chimú and Lambayeque cultures (11th to 15th century A.D.), by presenting some of the most complete depictions of these rituals. On display will be important objects in gold, silver, and turquoise from the royal tombs of Sipán, discovered in 1987 by archaeologist Walter Alva, constituting the most significant find made in Peru since that of Machu Picchu. They include:
• A gold ear disc depicting the Lord of the place, the Mochica governor
• A Mochica ornament in the shape of a half-feline, half-octopus recently repatriated and exhibited for the first time
outside of Peru
• Funerary jewelry (crown, ear discs, necklace, pectoral and shoulder-pieces) including a masterpiece of Chimú gold work
• A rare headboard of a Lambayeque litter depicting figures officiating at a ceremony, unique in the complexity of its ornamentation
Religion in Many Forms
The Spanish conquest of Peru in the 16th century led to the hybridization of the Peruvian culture expressed through reinterpretations of mostly religious European art. Paintings of the School of Cuzco – established by the Spanish as a means of converting the Incas to Catholicism – showing Christ, miraculous Virgins, archangels and defenders of the Catholic faith, testify to the powerful role played by images in the campaign to evangelize the Native peoples of the Andes. Included among the examples of paintings mainly by Native artists resulted from this hybridization are:
A Nativity Chest dating from the 18th century, painted with a number of Biblical stories including Adam and Eve, the Annunciation, the Nativity and the visit of the Magi. This three-dimensional illustrated catechism was used to spread Catholicism throughout the Andes.
Among the ceremonial objects on view illustrating the importance of imagery relating to the celebration of the Eucharist in the Andes is a silver Eucharistic urn in the shape of a Pelican, a bird traditionally associated with Christ's sacrifice. It is widely considered a masterpiece of the liturgical metalwork from the Latin-American Baroque period.
A particularly popular image in art during the Viceroyal period is that of the Virgin. Symbolic representations of the virtuous life of the Virgin Mary on view, such as Young Virgin Spinning, recalls the acllas, the Virgins of the Sun in the Inca empire, whose principal occupation was making garments for the Inca and for religious rites.
Processions also played an important role in the elaboration of a Peruvian identity both as a collective expression of Christian faith and as a means of reinforcing the socio-political positions of the participants. An 18th-century depiction of a splendid Corpus Christi procession, one of the first Christian celebrations to be performed in the colony and still performed to this day, attests to the multi-ethnic nature of the city of Cuzco, the ancient capital of the Inca empire. Coinciding with the celebration of the Inti Raymi, an Inca festival dedicated to the Sun God, Corpus Christi was the most important feast day in the colonial liturgical calendar.
Peruvian art in the 19th and 20th centuries
By 1821, Peruvians had achieved their independence and had formed an indigenous collective memory that combined the idealisation of the pre-Hispanic past, particularly the Inca Empire, with an interest in local subjects. A typical work of Peruvian art of the mid-19th century, Habitante de las cordilleras del Perú (Inhabitant of the Peruvian Highlands) by Francisco Laso, portrays the indigenous peasant as a national symbol for the new Peruvian republic, and heralds the direction that Peruvian cultural nationalism was to take in the next century.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Indigenism flourished as an artistic and intellectual movement based on revalorising and reaffirming Peru's indigenous heritage. Paintings depicting scenes of Native life and the idyllic landscapes of the Peruvian countryside and highlands such as Pastoras (Shepherdesses) by Leonor Vinatea Cantuarias were to transform the visual culture of Peru in the modern era. This movement is represented in the exhibition by a wide selection of works by José Sabogal, Camilo Blas, Julia Codesido, and Enrique Camino Brent. Widely praised for his documentation of indigenous culture, the only Amerindian included among the major artists associated with the movement is the photographer and portraitist Martín Chambi. Works by Chambi on view include Tristeza andina, La Raya (Andean sadness, La Raya).

Outside View: Security at the World Series
The World Series is no stranger to security. Fans try to sneak into the ballpark without tickets or with counterfeit tickets. Often foods and alcohol are prohibited from being brought into the ballpark, to enforce the monopoly of the high-priced concessions.
Violence is always a risk: both small fights and larger-scale riots that result from fans from both teams being in such close proximity — like the one that almost happened during the sixth game of the American League Championship Series.
Today, the new risk is terrorism. Security at the Olympics cost $1.5 billion. Some $50 million each was spent at the Democratic and Republican conventions on security. There has been no public statement about the security bill for the World Series, but it's reasonable to assume it will be impressive.
In our fervor to defend ourselves, it's important that we spend our money wisely. Much of what people think of as security against terrorism doesn't actually make us safer. Even in a world of high-tech security, the most important solution is the guy watching to keep beer bottles from being thrown onto the field.
Generally, security measures that defend specific targets are wasteful, because they can be avoided simply by switching targets. If we completely defend the World Series from attack and the terrorists bomb a crowded shopping mall instead, little has been gained.
Even so, some high-profile locations, like national monuments and symbolic buildings and some high-profile events, like political conventions and championship sporting events, warrant additional security. What additional measures make sense?
Identification checks don't make sense. Everyone has an ID. Even the 9/11 terrorists had IDs. What we want is to somehow check intention; is the person going to do something bad? But we can't do that, so we check IDs instead. It's a complete waste of time and money and does absolutely nothing to make us safer.
Automatic face recognition systems don't work. Computers that automatically pick terrorists out of crowds are great movie plot devices, but don't work in the real world. We don't have a comprehensive photographic database of known terrorists. Even worse, the face recognition technology is so faulty that it often can't make the matches even when we do have decent photographs. We tried it at the 2001 Super Bowl; it was a failure.
Airport-like attendee screening doesn't work. The terrorists who took over the Russian school sneaked their weapons in long before their attack. And screening fans is only a small part of the solution. There are simply too many people, vehicles and supplies moving in and out of a ballpark regularly. This kind of security failed at the Olympics, as reporters proved again and again that they could sneak all sorts of things into the stadiums undetected.
What does work is people: smart security officials watching the crowds. It's called "behavior recognition," and it requires trained personnel looking for suspicious behavior. Does someone look out of place? Is he nervous and not watching the game? Is he not cheering, hissing, booing and waving like a sports fan would?
This is what good policemen do all the time. It's what Israeli airport security does. It works because instead of relying on checkpoints that can be bypassed, it relies on the human ability to notice something that just doesn't feel right. It's intuition, and it's far more effective than computerized security solutions.
Will this result in perfect security? Of course not. No security measures are guaranteed; all we can do is reduce the odds. And the best way to do that is to pay attention. A few hundred plainclothes policemen, walking around the stadium and watching for anything suspicious, will provide more security against terrorism than almost anything else we can reasonably do.
And the best thing about policemen is that they're adaptable. They can deal with terrorist threats, and they can deal with more common security issues, too.
Most of the threats at the World Series have nothing to do with terrorism; unruly or violent fans are a much more common problem. And more likely than a complex 9/11-like plot is a lone terrorist with a gun, a bomb, or something that will cause panic. But luckily, the security measures ballparks have already put in place to protect against the former also help protect against the latter.
