    # DESCRIPTION
    # snfsdefrag is a utility for defragmenting files on a StorNext file system by relocating the data in a file to a
    # smaller set of extents. Reducing the number of extents in a file improves performance by minimizing disk
    # head movement when performing I/O. In addition, with fewer extents, StorNext File System Manager
    # (FSM) overhead is reduced.
    # snfsdefrag can be used to migrate files off of an existing stripe group and on to other stripe groups by using
    # the -G option and setting the -m option to 0. If affinities are associated with a file that is being defragmented,
    # new extents are created using the existing file affinity, unless being overridden by the -k option. If the
    # -k option is specified, the files are moved to a stripe group with the specified affinity. Without -k, files are
    # moved to any available stripe group. This migration capability can be especially useful when a stripe group
    # is going out of service. See the use of the -G option in the EXAMPLES section below.
    # In addition to defragmenting and migrating files, snfsdefrag can be used to list the extents in a file (see the
    # -e option) or to prune away unused space that has been preallocated for the file (see the -p option).
    #
    # OPTIONS
    # -b Show extent size in blocks instead of kilobytes. Only useful with the -e and -E (list extents) options.
    # -c This option causes snfsdefrag to just display an extent count instead of defragmenting files.
    #    See also the -t and -T options.
    # -D Turns on debug messages.
    # -d Causes snfsdefrag to operate on files containing extents that have depths that are different than the
    #    current depth for the extent's stripe group. This option is useful for reclaiming disk space that has
    #    become "shadowed" after cvupdatefs has been run for stripe group expansion. Note that when -d
    #    is used, a file may be defragmented due to the stripe depth in one or more of its extents OR due to
    #    the file's extent count.
    # -e This option causes snfsdefrag to not actually attempt the defragmentation, but instead report the
    #    list of extents contained in the file. The extent information includes the starting file relative offset,
    #    starting and ending stripe group block addresses, the size of the extent, the depth of the extent, and
    #    the stripe group number. See also the -t option.
    # -E This option has the same effect as the −e option except that file relative offsets and starting and
    #    ending stripe group block addresses that are stripe-aligned are highlighted with an asterisk (*).
    #    Also, starting stripe group addresses that are equally misaligned with the file relative offset are
    #    highlighted with a plus sign (+). See also the -t option.
    # -G stripegroup
    #    This option causes snfsdefrag to only operate on files having at least one extent in stripegroup,
    #    which is the stripe group index obtained by running the show subcommand from the cvadmin
    #    utility. Note that multiple -G options can be specified to match files with an extent in at least one
    #    of the specified stripe groups.
    # -K key This option causes snfsdefrag to only operate on source files that have the supplied affinity key. If
    #    key is preceded by '!' then snfsdefrag will only operate on source files that do not have the affinity key.
    #    See EXAMPLES below.
    # -k key Forces the new extent for the file to be created on the stripe group specified by key.
    # -l This option causes snfsdefrag to just list candidate files.
    # -m count
    #    This option tells snfsdefrag to only operate on files containing more than count extents. By default,
    #    the value of count is 1. A value of zero can be specified to operate on all files with at least
    #    one extent. This is useful for moving files offastripe group.
    # -p Causes snfsdefrag to perform a prune operation instead of defragmenting the file. During a prune
    #    operation, blocks beyond EOF that have been preallocated either explicitly or as part of inode expansion
    #    are freed, thereby reducing disk usage. Files are otherwise unmodified. Note: While
    #    prune operations reclaim unused disk space, performing them regularly can lead to free space fragmentation.
    # -P Lists skipped files.
    # -q Causes snfsdefrag to be quiet.
    # -r [TargetDirectory]
    #    This option instructs snfsdefrag to recurse through the TargetDirectory and attempt to defragment
    #    each fragmented file that it finds. If TargetDirectory is not specified, the current directory is assumed.
    # -s Causes snfsdefrag to perform allocations that are block-aligned. This can help performance in situations
    #    where the I/O size perfectly spans the width of the stripe group's disks.
    # -S file Writes status monitoring information in the supplied file. This is used internally by StorNext and
    #    the format of this file may change.
    # -t This option adds totals to the output of the −c, −e, or −E options. Output at the end indicates how
    #    many regular files were visited, how many total extents were found from all files, and the average
    #    # of extents per file. Also shown are the number of files with one extent, the number of files with
    #    more than one extent, and the largest number of extents in a single file.
    # -T This option acts like -t, except that with -c, only the summary output is presented. No information
    #    is provided for individual files.
    # -v Causes snfsdefrag to be verbose.
    #
    # EXAMPLES
    # Count the extents in the file foo.
    #   rock% snfsdefrag -c foo
    #
    # Starting in directory, dir1, recursively count all the files and their extents and then print the grand total and
    # average number of extents per file.
    #   rock% snfsdefrag -r -c -t dir1
    #
    # List the extents in the file foo.
    #   rock% snfsdefrag -e foo
    #
    # Defragment the file foo.
    #   rock% snfsdefrag foo
    #
    # Defragment the file foo if it contains more than 2 extents. Otherwise, do nothing.
    #   rock% snfsdefrag -m 2 foo
    #
    # Traverse the directory abc and its sub-directories and defragment every file found containing more than one extent.
    #   rock% snfsdefrag -r abc
    #
    # Traverse the directory abc and its sub-directories and defragment every file found having one or more extents
    # whose depth differs from the current depth of extent's stripe group OR having more than one extent.
    #   rock% snfsdefrag -rd abc
    #
    # Traverse the directory abc and its sub-directories and only defragment files having one or more extents
    # whose depth differs from the current depth of extent's stripe group. This situation would arise after cvupdatefs
    # has been used to expand the depth of a stripe group. The high value for -m ensures that only extents
    # with different depth values are defragmented.
    #   rock% snfsdefrag -m 9999999999 -rd abc
    #
    # Traverse the directory abc and recover unused preallocated disk space in every file visited.
    #   rock% snfsdefrag -rp abc
    #
    # Force the file foo to be relocated to the stripe group with the affinity key "fast"
    #   rock% snfsdefrag -k fast -m 0 foo
    #
    # If the file foo has the affinity fast, then move its data to a stripe group with the affinity slow.
    #   rock% snfsdefrag -K fast -k slow -m 0 foo
    #
    # If the file foo does NOT hav e the affinity slow, then move its data to a stripe group with the affinity slow.
    #   rock% snfsdefrag -K '!slow' -k slow -m 0 foo
    #
    # Traverse the directory abc and migrate any files containing at least one extent in stripe group 2 to any nonexclusive
    # stripe group.
    #   rock% snfsdefrag -r -G 2 -m 0 abc
    #
    # Traverse the directory abc and migrate any files containing at least one extent in stripe group 2 to stripe
    # groups with the affinity slow. It is advised that the source stripe group be marked as read-only before running
    # the following command, if you wish to retire the source stripe group.
    #   rock% snfsdefrag -r -G 2 -k slow -m 0 abc
    #
    # Traverse the directory abc list any files that have the affinity fast and having at least one extent in stripe
    # group 2. It is advised that the source stripe group be marked as read-only before running the following
    # command, if you wish to retire the source stripe group.
    #   rock% snfsdefrag -r -G 2 -k fast -l -m 0 abc
    #
    # NOTES
    # If snfsdefrag is run on a Windows client, the user must have read and write access to the file. If snfsdefrag
    # is run on a Unix client, only the owner of a file or superuser is allowed to defragment a file. (To act as superuser
    # on a StorNext file system, in addition to becoming the user root, the configuration option GlobalSuperUser
    # must be enabled. See snfs_config(5) for more information.)
    # snfsdefrag will not operate on open files, files that have been modified in the past 10 seconds and files with
    # modification times in the future. If a file is modified while defragmentation is in progress, snfsdefrag will
    # abort and the file will be skipped.
    # snfsdefrag skips special files and files containing holes.
    # snfsdefrag does not follow symbolic links.
    # When operating on a file marked for PerfectFit allocations, snfsdefrag will "do the right thing" and preserve
    # the PerfectFit attribute.
    # While performing defragmentation, snfsdefrag creates a temporary file named TargetFile__defragtmp. If
    # the command is interrupted, snfsdefrag will attempt to remove this file. However, if snfsdefrag is killed or
    # a power failure occurs, the temporary file may be left behind. If snfsdefrag is subsequently re-run and attempts
    # defragmentation, it will clean up any stale temporary files encountered. But if snfsdefrag is not run
    # again, it will be necessary to find and remove the temporary file as it will continue to consume space. Note
    # that user files having the __defragtmp extension should not be created if snfsdefrag is to be run.
    # snfsdefrag will fail if it cannot locate a set of extents that would reduce the current extent count on a file.
    # When files being defragmented reside in a managed file system with stub files enabled and
    # CLASS_STUB_READ_AHEAD is set in the fs_sysparams file, the operation could cause file retrieval.
    #
    # ADVANCED FRAGMENTATION ANALYSIS
    # There are two major types of fragmentation to note: file fragmentation and free space fragmentation. File
    # fragmentation is measured by the number of file extents used to store a file. A file extent is a contiguous allocation
    # unit within a file. When a large enough contiguous space cannot be found to allocate to a file, multiple
    # smaller file extents are created. Each extent represents a different physical spot in a stripe group. Requiring
    # multiple extents to address file data impacts performance in a number of ways. First, the file system
    # must do more work looking up locations for a file's data. Also, having file data spread across many different
    # locations in the file system requires the storage hardware to do more work while reading a file. On a
    # disk there will be increased head movements, as the drive seeks around to read in each data extent. Many
    # disks also attempt to optimize I/O performance, for example, by attempting to predict upcoming read locations.
    # When a file's data is contiguous these optimizations work well. However, with a fragmented file the
    # drive optimizations are not nearly as efficient.
    # A file's fragmentation should be viewed more as a percentage than as a hard number. While it's true that a
    # file of nearly any size with 50000 fragments is extremely fragmented and should be defragmented, a file
    # that has 500 fragments that are mostly one or two file system blocks (4096 bytes) in length is also very
    # fragmented. Keeping files to under 10% fragmentation is the ideal, and how close you come to that ideal is
    # a compromise based on real-world factors (file system use, file sizes and their life span, opportunities to run
    # snfsdefrag, etc.).
    # In an attempt to reduce fragmentation (file and free space), Adminstrators can try using the Allocation Session
    # Reservation feature. This feature is managed using the GUI or by modifying the AllocSessionReservationSize
    # parameter, see snfs_config(5). See also the StorNext Tuning Guide.
    # Some common causes of fragmentation are having very full stripe groups (possibly because of affinities), a
    # file system that has a lot of fragmented free space (deleting a fragmented file produces fragmented free
    # space), heavy use of CIFS or NFS which typically use out-of-order allocations resulting in unoptimized
    # (uncoalesced) allocations, or an application that writes files in a random order.
    # snfsdefrag is designed to detect files which contain file fragmentation and coalesce that data onto a minimal
    # number of file extents. The efficiency of snfsdefrag is dependent on the state of the file system's free
    # data blocks, or free space.
    # The second type of fragmentation is free space fragmentation. The file system's free space is the pool of unallocated
    # data blocks. Space allocation for new files, as well as allocations for extending existing files,
    # comes from the file system's free space. Free space fragmentation is measured by the number of fragments
    # of contiguous free blocks. Fragmentation in the file system's free space affects the file system's ability to
    # allocate large extents. A file can only have an extent as large as the largest contiguous block of free space.
    # Thus free space fragmentation can lead to file fragmentation in larger files. As snfsdefrag processes fragmented
    # files it attempts to use large enough free space fragments to create a new defragmented file space. If
    # free space is too fragmented snfsdefrag may not be able to allocate a large enough extent for the file's data.
    # In the case that snfsdefrag must use multiple extents in the defragmented file, it will only proceed if the
    # processed file will have fewer extents than the original. Otherwise snfsdefrag will abort that file's defrag
    # process and move on to remaining defrag requests.
    #
    # FRAGMENTATION ANALYSIS EXAMPLES
    # The following examples include reporting from snfsdefrag as well as cvfsck. Some examples require additional
    # tools such as awk and sort.
    # Reporting a specific file's fragmentation (extent count).
    #   # snfsdefrag -c <filename>
    #
    # Report all files, their extents, the total # of files and extents, and the average number of extents per files. Beware
    # that this command walks the entire file system so it can takeawhile and cause the performance of applications
    # to degrade while running.
    #   # snfsdefrag -r -c -t <mount point>
    #
    # The following command will create a report showing each file's path, followed by extent count, with the report
    # sorted by extent count. Files with the greatest number of extents will show up at the top of the list.
    # Replace <fsname> in the following example with the name of your StorNext file system. The report is written
    # to stdout and should be redirected to a file.
    #   # cvfsck -x <fsname> | awk -F, '{if (NF == 14) \
    #     print($6", "$7)}' | sort -uk1 -t, | sort -nrk2 -t,
    #
    # This next command will display all files with at least 10 extents and with a size of at least 1MB. Replace
    # <fsname> in the following example with the name of your StorNext file system. The report is written to
    # stdout and can be redirected to a file.
    #   # echo "#extents file size av. extent size filename"; \
    #     cvfsck -r <fsname> | awk '{if (NF == 8 && $03 > 1048576 && \
    #     $05 > 10) printf("%8d %10d %16d %10s\n", $5, $3, $03/$05, $8)}' \
    #     | sort -nr
    #
    # The next command displays a report of free space fragmentation. This allows an administrator to see if free
    # space fragmentation may affect future allocation fragmentation. See cvfsck(8) man page for description of
    # report output.
    #   # cvfsck -a -t -f <fsname>
    #
    # The fragmentation detected RAS warning message may sometimes refer to an inode number instead of a
    # file name. To find the file name associated with the inode number on non-Windows clients, fill the file system
    # mount point and the decimal inum from the RAS message into the following find command. The file
    # name can then be used to defragment the file. There may be more than one file that matches the 32-bit inode
    # number.
    #   # find <mount_point> -inum <decimal_inum>
    #   # snfsdefrag <filename>
    #
    # For Windows clients:
    # Using a DOS shell, CD to the directory containing the StorNext binaries and run the cvstat command as
    # follows: The <fname> parameter is the drive letter:/mount point and the <inum> parameter has either the
    # decimal or hexidecimal 64-bit inode number from the RAS message. For example:
    #   c:\> cd c:\Program Files\StorNext\bin
    #   c:\> cvstat fname=j:\ inum=0x1c0000004183da

We all know that WordPress is one of the most popular CMS , on which about 30 percent of the websites is runnig, and it is always in targeted by cyber crooks. Now in this scenario, an unpatched critical vulnerability puts users under risk.
Security researcher Karim El Ouerghemmi, from RipsTech have found a critical Arbitrary Code Execution vulnerability on WordPress which affects every version till date i.e Wordpress 4.9.6 also. This zero-day vulnerability can be used to escalate privileges attained through the takeover of an account with a role as low as Author, or through the exploitation of another vulnerability/ misconfiguration.
Ouerghemmi had reported this vulnerability to WordPress team on November 2017 via hackerone , and wired thing is that at that time report has been Triaged but then also the bug remains UnPatched after more than 7 months.
As researcher have noted that this vulnerability can be exploited with the a role as low as Author, or any other misconfiguration bug on WordPress. Exploiting the vulnerability grants an attacker the capability to delete any file of the WordPress installation (+ any other file on the server on which the PHP process user has the proper permissions to delete).
This bug resides in the wp-includes/post.php which can be found in Wordpress core. An arbitrary file deletion vulnerability occurs when unsanitized user input is passed to a file deletion function. In PHP this happens when the unlink() function is called and user input can affect parts of or the whole parameter $filename, which represents the path of the file to delete, without undergoing proper sanitization.
Researcher points out that in wp_delete_attachement() function the content of $meta['thumb'] gets used in the call to unlink() without undergoing any sanitization. This improper checks on unlink() function made possible to cause of the buy by manipulating the POST request.
At the mean time, there is no fix or patch available for the Vulnerability. But researcher have provided a temporary fix for this. The fix can be integrated into an existing WordPress installation by adding it to the functions.php file of the currently active theme/child-theme.
All the provided Hotfix does is to hook into the wp_update_attachement_metadata()call and making sure that the data provided for the meta-value thumb does not contain any parts making path traversal possible. Thus, no security relevant files can be deleted.
Before disclosing the bug, researcher have contacted WordPress team numerous times and also contact on Twitter DM to security team.

Our products have recently been specified in some significant projects, including the offices of the Department of Environmental Affairs, managed by the Pretoria branch of Boogertman and Partners.
Stopray was also used in the Fluxmans building in Rosebank designed by Paragon Architects. Paragon specified 3 600 m2 of C&C Safety Glass's Thermoshield Stopray Vision 50T on Clearvision for a floor-toceiling, high performance flush double glazed curtain wall that had to be as transparent as possible while overcoming challenges in terms of thermal performance, adequate solar shading, glare control and budget.

High performance glazing solutions were supplied by C & C Safety Glass for the DSTV Multichoice building, boasting a green building - 5 star design certification. Sealed insulated glazed units with Stopray Vision 50T on Clearvision offered a high light transmission with superior solar control and energy efficiency as well as a decorative Colourshield frit pattern on the first floor to add an element of privacy with creativity, on the ground floor.

A French judge has issued an arrest warrant for a cyclist accused of hacking into computer systems at an anti-doping lab.
A report in The New York Times said that French authorities believe that Floyd Landis, a former Tour de France winner, used a Trojan program to install data-stealing malware on a system at the Châtenay-Malabry drug testing lab.
The accusations are in connection with Landis's 2006 Tour de France anti-doping case. The cyclist presented computer data as part of his defence which claimed that the handling of samples was flawed and that the laboratory erred in reporting that the cyclist had used performance enhancing drugs.
French authorities now believe that the data was gathered through the use of a malware program which was traced back to the system of one of the cyclist's coaches. They allege that the stolen information was then altered and presented in the defence.
A spokesperson for France's anti-doping agency told reporters that Landis' team used a "network of hackers" and made multiple attempts to infiltrate systems.
Landis has reportedly denied the accusations.

Q: Magnific Popup - gallery images not displaying I'm trying to use Magnific Popup in collaboration with elevateZoom, I have it working to a point where I have bound a click handler to the zoom container, which in this case is the .product-image-gallery div.
If I pass a single image src, e.g. $j('.product-image-gallery .gallery-image').attr('src'); as the src: argument then I get a popup with an image, but as soon as I pass a more general selector such as the .gallery-image on its own, i get a 'The image could not be loaded' message.
The aim is to have the popup let me cycle through all the avaliable product images.
HTML:

JS ($j because jQuery is in noConflict mode):
    $j.magnificPopup.open({
  items: {
    src: '.gallery-image',
    type: 'image',
    gallery: {
      enabled: true
    }
  }
});

A: I ended up building an object then passing that to magnific-popup, my solution:
$j('.product-image-gallery').bind('click', function(){

        galleryObj = [];
        $j('.product-image-gallery .gallery-image').not('#image-main').each(function() {

            var src = $j(this).data('zoom-image'),
                type = 'image'; // it's always an image :)

            image = {};
            image ["src"] = src;
            image ["type"] = type;

            galleryObj.push(image);
        });

        // open the popup
       $j.magnificPopup.open({
            items: galleryObj,
            gallery: {
                enabled: true
            },
       });
});

next day, they'd each worked up the courage to reach out and smack the other. By the third day, they were full blown wrestling. I started noticing a pattern in the way 'Possum would attack- he'll smack her around a bit until he gets her on her back with her head under his stomach and then he will bite (aggressively) on her vaginal area. He bites her so hard that she hangs from his mouth when I pick him up to separate them. I actually have to pry his mouth open. He also tries to bite her spine and neck, but far less often than the other. It's at the point now, where they are constantly separated. I wanted him to have a friend, not a snack. Should we have him neutered? Could it just be his hormones that are causing all of this odd behavior? Or should we just get rid of the kitten and go back to having an aggressive cat? I'm afraid having him neutered would hurt him psychologically, as well as physically.
Both cats need to be neutered, this will reduce aggressive behavior and help the cats to calm down and perhaps learn to get along with each other and also their home surroundings.
I wish you luck it may not be easy and you may have to make the decision to rehome your cats if they do not settle down in the future. Sometimes this is kinder to everyone concerned.
Cats can live together just fine.
Cats can live together just fine. The big problem is the fact that they were unfixed. Yeah, it's possible they'd still fight aggressively, but not likely. The reason the male wants to be outside isn't just because he's a cat, it's because he's not neutered and wants to mate. Most cats live happily in the safety of a home.
And letting an un-neutered male wander the neighborhood? Irresponsible is an understatement... Unless the goal is to produce thousands more unwanted cats to be killed in overcrowded shelters. This really should have been emphasized in the advice.
I know this comment is probably years late, but I came across this on a Google search and I'm sure I'm not the only one, so hopefully my comment can help some other cats. I really hope Possum got neutered.

From the city of Giessen, in central Germany, Bellof rose quickly through the ranks in German racing. He shot to international prominence in 1982 with two unexpected victories in Formula 2 at Silverstone and Hockenheim at the wheel of a Maurer-BMW. He would remain with Maurer for the next two years but the opposition from March and Ralt was too strong. His performances at the start of 1982 had however attracted the attention of some of the F1 fraternity and from the Rothmans Porsche factory sports car team.
He was hired by Porsche for 1983 alongside such stellar names as Jacky Ickx, Derek Bell and Jochen Mass. The move was a success with Bellof winning with Bell at Silverstone, his second race with the team. In the third race, on the old Nurburgring, Bellof cartwheeled the Porsche at the Pflanzgarten while leading but emerged unscathed from the ferocious accident. Later in the year he won at Fuji and Kyalami.
By then Formula 1 teams were in hot pursuit and Bellof tested for McLaren, alongside Ayrton Senna and Martin Brundle, in October. It was not until March the following year that he landed an F1 drive, signing a one-year contract with Tyrrell which gave the team an option on his services in 1985, 1986 and 1987. In 1984 he was the dominant force in the World Sports Car Championship, winning six of the 11 races and becoming the World Champion, while with Tyrrell he soon made his mark, finishing sixth in Belgium and fifth at Imola. But it was his performance at Monaco which really singled him out as a rising star. In the pouring rain he was catching both Alain Prost's leading McLaren-TAG and the second place Toleman-Hart of Ayrton Senna when the event was stopped early. If the race had gone to its full distance Bellof might have won.
Tyrrell exercised its option on Bellof for 1985 but there was by then discord in the relationship as Bellof and his manager Willy Maurer argued that Tyrrell had broken the original contract by not competing in the final three races of 1984 (the team had been banned by the FIA as part of the fight between the team and the federation over Tyrrell's refusal to agree to a ban on normally-aspirated engines) and wanted a one-year deal so that the German youngster would be on the market for 1986. As a result he was suspended by Tyrrell in Brazil but was back in the spotlight with sixth place in Portugal and continued to show well as the season progressed.
That year he was also racing for the Brun Porsche sports car team and in the autumn he was racing his former team mate Jacky Ickx at Spa when he tried to pass the veteran on the inside going into Eau Rouge at Spa. The two cars touched and both crashed heavily. Bellof was killed in the impact.

Until the end of time a novel
New York : Random House Large Print, c2013.
381 p. (large print) ; 24 cm.
Bill, a dedicated young lawyer working at his family's prestigious New York firm, leaves everything he trained for to follow his dream and become a minister in rural Wyoming. Jenny, his wife, is a stylist whose heart and soul are invested in fashion. She leaves the milieu and life she loves to join him. The certainty they share is that their destinies are linked forever. Fast forward thirty-eight years. Robert is a hardworking independent book publisher in Manhattan who has given up all personal life to build his struggling business. He is looking for one big hit novel to publish. Lillibet is a young Amish woman, living as though in the seventeenth century, caring for her widowed father and three young brothers on their family farm. In secret at night, by candlelight, she has written the novel that burns within her, and gets it into Robert's hands, wrapped in her hand-stitched apron. He falls in love first with the book, and then with the woman he has never met, living in the sequestered world of the Amish -- a world without telephones, computers, electricity, modern conveniences, or cars. Although Lillibet faces banishment from her family and community, she embraces the opportunity to publish her novel, and is irresistibly drawn to the man who has heard her voice. Destiny is at work here. Fate draws her from her horse-and-buggy life toward his, and the publication of her novel. These two relationships come together in unexpected and surprising ways, as lovers are lost and find each other again, and true love never dies.

Hey everyone so i was recently interviewed by The Mirror newspaper about my TV show Killer Magic for BBC Three be sure to give it a read and if you didn't see the show make sure you all head over to BBC iPlayer and give it a watch D.
A magician 'hypnotised' his Twitter followers by making them feel STUCK to their seats in a spooky experiment.
Others taking part claimed their phone also felt glued to their hands and were encouraged to tweet – after later being unstuck – to post their experience with the hashtag #STUCK.
"Confused and impressed at how many people got #STUCK," wrote @deemonch.
O'Brien commented: "I was shocked at how many people were affected. It was a big risk as it's only a small percentage of people who can be hypnotised live.
Damien was recently asked to perform at the Princes Trust trick or treat ball in the luxurious Lowry hotel Manchester, Damien's magic was one of the highlights of the event , but most importantly the event raised over £50k for charity.
TV Magician & Hypnotist Damien O'Brien - As seen On ITV's Penn & Teller Fool Us, BBC Magic Party, T4, MTV.


Originally formed nearly twenty years ago, around the song writing partnership of Lewis Ryan and Simon Moore; the duo started writing and performing together again a few years ago after many years apart. Over the last year, the duo has swelled to a six piece, including the talents of former Mynas keyboardist Martin Thornton, vocalist Olivia Rose Thawley, bassist David Sanders and percussionist Delgas Klein.
The group's music reference Fleet Foxes, Midlake, Neil Young, Pearl Jam, Gomez, Alice in Chains, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Nina Simone, Beck, Giant Sand and much more.
The band are on the cusp of releasing their debut EP. Experience songs from that and more here.
Following a four year long hiatus, The Delicateers are back. This one-time acoustic indie-folk quartet were very familiar to Barnsley's live music and festival circuits. Now freshly revived, with new songs penned, today's Delicateers consist of the talents of guitarist Nic Smith on lead vocals, cellist Esther Littlewood and keyboardist Kate Wragg; both sharing backing vocal duties.
Adam is most commonly known as one half of the contemporary folk duo Garforth & Myers. Although the group recently called it a day, Adam also often performs and records as a duo with Lee Short, under various monikors including Platform 2 and Canadians In Space. They play satirically charged music inspired by everything from 1920s music hall, lo-fi indie and tropicana tinged folk.
He also previously performed in indie pop trio A Certain Type of Person (whose members included Lee Short on drums, guitarist Russell Calverley and Aztec Doll's Hayley Youell) and later, along with Russell and Hayley once again as the folk group Tiny Little Secrets.
I'm not sure what Adam will be playing (or even who with), I can guarantee you'll be suitably enetertained.

How Is the Random Aspect Achieved with a Wheel of Fortune
The idea of spinning a wheel of fortune and winning a prize has fascinated us for a long time. The result depends upon where the wheel randomly stops and this method remains popular today, but how does it work? Modern technology has allowed us to play these games in the same way as before, but with greater confidence in the random nature of the outcome.
Spin a Virtual Wonder Wheel
The latest type of wheel of fortune can be seen when you get your daily free spins on Wonder Wheel games at Paddy Power. As you'd expect, this is a virtual wheel where you simply press a button to spin it. This generates a completely random outcome once the wheel stops spinning, with prizes including bonuses and scratchcards.
While the instructions don't explain exactly how it works behind the scenes, we can find this out by looking at the subject of randomness in casino games in general. Games such as slots, roulette, and blackjack all have one thing in common; they rely on a random outcome to make them games of chance that no one can guess the result of before starting. This means that no one should know what's going to happen, neither the player nor the casino.
This is done by using a random number generator (RNG). It's a piece of software that ensures every single action that gets carried out has an unpredictable outcome. This is what ensures that your next card at blackjack could be anything from an ace to a king or anything in between, and the same type of RNG can make sure that a wheel of fortune is fair and impossible to predict.
How Does This Compare to Older Methods?
We need to go back to 1952 to find the first episode of the Wheel of Fortune show on American TV. This game show involved players spinning a physical wheel to find out what prize they won, with the wheel split into segments covering different prizes very similar to the virtual wheel we looked at earlier. However, the full set of episodes from this original series are said to no longer exist, meaning that we can't compare that wheel to modern, virtual versions. The modern version of Wheel of Fortune began in 1975.
In general terms, is the virtual wheel fairer and more random than a physical wheel of fortune? It's worth considering the fact that the use of an RNG ensures a completely random outcome every time. These pieces of software are tested regularly, to ensure that they continue to give unpredictable results. On the other hand, a physical wheel may be faulty, causing it to favour one section over others. This can be best seen when looking at the history of roulette, as players have looked for evidence of wheel bias or of the dealer's spinning style causing uneven results, apparently with success at times.
The modern approach of using a virtual wheel backed up by an RNG have proven to be the safest and fairest way of playing a wheel of fortune. With technology that makes the outcome more random than ever before, you can simply spin the wheel and wait to see what happens.

Loud Heavy Rock Bits and Soft Gentle Quiet Bits: Get to know Our Girl
18 January 2019, 15:00 | Written by Laurence Day
(News)
(Our Girl)
Ahead of their show closing our new music festival - the Five Day Forecast - rising rock three-piece Our Girl tell us about what makes them tick.
Our Girl (no relation to the Michelle Keegan show) are the latest Cannibal Hymns (Dream Wife, Tigercub) outfit aiming at the stratosphere, with The Big Moon's Soph Nathan fronting the project and adding fuzzed-out glitz to the wild, wiry indie-rock melee. Already touted as one of the most exciting guitar groups going, Our Girl have made good on considerable promises and smashed tours with Pale Waves and The Magic Gang - there's no doubting their upward trajectory. Debut LP Stranger Today is yet more concrete evidence of Our Girl's brilliance, and sets them up for a fascinating future.
Get "In My Head" in your head below, and find out more about Our Girl after.
Could you introduce yourselves for us please?
Hey we're Our Girl! We are Soph, Josh, and Lauren
What do you try to do with your music and how do you achieve this?
We don't normally plan how we want songs to sound, they usually just come out the way they do naturally and then we try to make the most out of them. Most of our songs are quite dynamic so making a distinction between loud and soft, and reflecting the sentiment of the vocals through the music is important to us. It's fun to almost exaggerate those dynamics live, makes the show more exciting for us, and hopefully for people watching too!
Can you tell us what musical and non-musical influences have shaped your sound?
We all like quite different music, and I guess our sound is a result of those differences combined. I'm really influenced by seeing bands live, it's an important aspect of music for me. I remember seeing Cousins in Brighton before we started Our Girl, and they were so energetic and excited and into it - made me want to do it myself. So did watching Warpaint, the way they play together on stage I find really captivating. The main non-musical influence for me, specifically for lyrics, is my life really - the relationships I have with people, and how they affect me. I guess how we translate those emotions into music is part of what shapes our sound!
What should people expect from your Five Day Forecast show?
Loud heavy rock bits and soft gentle quiet bits... but mainly loud heavy rock bits.
What are you working on now/next?
We're starting to write and demo some new songs! We haven't had much time in a practice room together for a good while, so it'll be nice to go back to basics and play round with ideas for hours until they become something we're happy with.
How is 2018 shaping up? What are you looking forward to next year?
We're looking forward to this show at The Lexington! Really like that venue. We're also doing a short tour in March, the London show is at the southbank centre, and the others are mainly in churches around the UK which I think will feel a bit different to what we usually do, and hopefully be a special tour for us.
Gently Tender play our new music festival on 18 January with Squid, Black Country New Road, and Gently Tender at The Lexington, London. It's sold out.

Michael Jordan Zitate auf Englisch
Zitat des Tages von Michael Jordan:
Do I need my number retired throughout the course of the league to acknowledge what I've done? No.
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.
Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.
I play to win, whether during practice or a real game. And I will not let anything get in the way of me and my competitive enthusiasm to win.
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot... when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.
My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.
If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.
I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.
My father used to say that it's never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, 'You never know what you can accomplish until you try.'
I've never been afraid to fail.
Purchasing the Bobcats is the culmination of my post-playing career goal of becoming the majority owner of an NBA franchise.
You have competition every day because you set such high standards for yourself that you have to go out every day and live up to that.
Even when I'm old and grey, I won't be able to play it, but I'll still love the game.
I want to be the bridge to the next generation.
You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
In reality, I never want to grow up.
Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.
To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate.
I'm not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.
For a competitive junkie like me, golf is a great solution because it smacks you in the face every time you think you have accomplished something. That to me has taken over a lot of the energy and competitiveness for basketball.
There's only one Michael Jordan.
My heroes are and were my parents. I can't see having anyone else as my heroes.
I want people to understand, gambling is not a bad thing if you do it within the framework of what it's meant to be, which is fun and entertaining.
I think the players win the championship, and the organization has something to do with it, don't get me wrong. But don't try to put the organization above the players.
When I lose the sense of motivation and the sense to prove something as a basketball player, it's time for me to move away from the game.
I built my talents on the shoulders of someone else's talent.
The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.
I do not have a problem, I enjoy gambling, but I think people are trying to make it seem like I have a problem, because people really don't know.
When I was playing before I retired, I never really understood the appreciation and the respect that people gave me. People had treated me like a god or something, and that was very embarrassing.
Ultimately, if you can say that I'm a bad owner and we're winning championships, I can live with that. But if we're not making the playoffs and we're spending and losing money, then I have to look in the mirror and say maybe I'm not taking the necessary steps to doing what it takes to run an organization.
We all fly. Once you leave the ground, you fly. Some people fly longer than others.
If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
I'd like to be settled into somewhat of a normal life. Somewhat. I know it's never going to be completely normal.


A deep dive into the takedowns of AlphaBay and Hansa, and their impact on the secretive illicit darknet marketplace, leads the latest edition of the ISMG Security Report. Also, a puzzling breach at Ricoh Australia.
The effort to improve the matching of patients to all the right records from multiple sources may get a new boost from Congress. Learn about the latest effort to help ensure clinicians have secure access to all the right records for the right patient - and the implications for CISOs.
AusCERT is one of the oldest CERT's in the world, and Phil Cole says the independent organization is now laser-focused on helping enterprises across sectors to fundamentally improve their strategies and solutions for incident response.
Ricoh's Australia office has notified banks, government agencies, universities and many large businesses about a curious data breach that, in some cases, exposed login credentials for its multifunction devices.
What trait does a global cyberattack and a hurricane share? Both could cost insurers - and victims - dearly. In a new report, Lloyd's of London estimates that a major cloud services attack could trigger $53 billion in losses and cleanup costs.
Demands by politicians that people must be willing to surrender their privacy rights to help security services battle cybercrime are shorthand for governments having significantly underinvested in the required resources, says information security expert Brian Honan.
A discussion on the latest happenings in the darknet marketplace leads the latest edition of the ISMG Security Report. Also, getting to the bottom of Russia's Democratic Party hack could be the ultimate goal of a lawsuit filed against the Donald Trump presidential campaign.
Ashley Madison wants to put that sordid data breach affair behind it. Parent company Ruby Life has reached an $11.2 million settlement agreement with the plaintiffs behind two dozen U.S. class-action lawsuits - since consolidated - lodged in the wake of its massive 2015 breach.
The plaintiffs who are suing Donald Trump's presidential campaign for conspiring with Russia and WikiLeaks over disclosing their private information stolen from Democratic Party computers could declare a moral victory even if they lose their case. Could exposing the truth be their ultimate goal?
A new report into the state of consumer routers by Carnegie Mellon researchers is unsparing in its criticism: It's a market of lemons, and virtually all of the test models had security problems. What's the solution?
New cybersecurity legislation under consideration in Singapore would make it mandatory for owners of critical information infrastructure to report security breaches within hours and require cybersecurity vendors providing highly sensitive services to be licensed.
London-based health insurer Bupa Global is warning international policyholders that a breach affecting 547,000 customers - with data showing up on darknet marketplace AlphaBay for sale - traces to a now-former employee.
Australia plans to introduce new laws by the end of the year that would compel technology companies to provide access to encrypted communications under legal orders. Tech companies are bristling.
Organizations need to take a well-considered, structured approach to integrating IoT into existing information risk management processes to address security, Gartner's Ganesh Ramamoorthy explains in an in-depth interview.


Consider these questions before choosing a software provider for your yoga studio.
On the flip side, business owners also need tools that will help them thrive. Effective technologies have the potential to reduce administrative expenses, save time, increase revenues, attract new customers and allow owners to easily see how well their business is performing.
Why Use Business Management Software?
If you're not offering appointments or products online, you're missing out on a huge market. $178 billion in online retails sales was conducted in the U.S. in 2012. Consumers can book airline tickets and buy pizza online, they expect to be able to book yoga classes online, too.
Keep the clients you have and gain more. Twenty percent of your clients account for roughly 80 percent of your business. Business software lets you create client profiles, track purchase histories, create targeted email campaigns, and run sales reports so that you can keep those clients you worked so hard to get in the first place!
Reduce administrative expenses. Online booking eliminates phone tag, automated appointment confirmations via text or email save you time, and reports let you check productivity, inventory, and sales at the touch of a button.
If you've never used business-management software before, it's hard to know which one to choose, let alone what kinds of questions you should be asking in order to make the best choice. Before you make this crucial investment, it's important to understand what your needs are and how software can meet those needs. Use this guide to help you evaluate your software options.
1. How long has the software company been in business? How many clients does it have?
2. Is the software web-based (online) or desktop-installed?
Web-based means the company essentially serves as your IT team. They secure the data, back it up for you, host the servers, and resolve any technical issues. When software is web-based (also called online software or software as a service), you can access your business data from any computer with an Internet connection. Desktop-installed mean you install the software on your computer, and you can only access your business data from that particular computer. It also means you must back up your data, do upgrades, and fix technical difficulties yourself.
3. Does the company meet Level I Payment Card Industry (PCI) security standards?
PCI compliance aims to ensure cardholder information is always stored, processed and transmitted securely. If you accept payments by credit or debit card, your business software should offer this standard of protection.
4. Does the software run on Macs, PCs or both? Does the company offer any mobile apps?
You should make sure that your software is usable not only on the devices that you use in your studio, but that your customers use as well.
5. What features are important to your business?
Want your clients to be able to schedule appointments and classes online?
Conduct eCommerce (i.e., sell products and service online or in your store)?
Manage your inventory or staff payroll?
Do business via mobile apps (e.g., iPhone, Android)?
See sales and performance reports at the click of a button?
Keep client profiles, send targeted emails, and track promotions?
6. How much does the software cost?
Integrated merchant account? What are the rates?


Can you believe it? | | Swing Big!
Can you believe it, two days IN A ROW of vault videos?! I know. I'm pretty stunned myself. When I say there really are a million drills for yurchenkos, I'm not lying. Even using old drills with new mats/new set-ups can make old things have new and improved effects (granted this takes a lot of trial and error). So, here are a couple more to think about.
This first one is one I really like if you can manage to set it up. Building up kids confidence doing this before taking the flipping vault over to the table is a really good idea. They'll feel a lot more confident having experienced a similar feeling with the drill and first attempts will come out looking better.
This second drill, is incredibly similar to the one I posted yesterday. But I wanted to add some notes about it. This is how I start yurchenkos. Before I even let kids round-off onto a board I stick a safety zone on the floor and start with cartwheel step-ins into the safety zone. Then round-offs into the safety zone. Then round-offs onto a panel mat in the safety zone. Then round-offs onto two panel mats in the safety zone (if they can be done well). Then and only then do I put the board in. I just don't want kids getting overwhelmed by not having enough progressions.
What do you do as your first progressions for yurchenkos?

Young visionaries came up with over 1000 food innovations on InnoDay
Over 10 000 youngsters gathered at Helsinki's Hartwall Arena on 11 May for the world's largest mass innovation day, InnoDay. Visitors at HKScan Finland's stand shared over 1000 fresh ideas for meal novelties revealing what they would like to eat and when.
HKScan Finland's stand consisted of a large 'dining table' covered in Snapchat shots taken by youngsters representing various meal times around the clock. The young visitors were asked to share what they would like to eat in the morning, during the day and in the evening. They were also asked what kind of new product features and novelties they would like to see appearing on supermarket shelves in the future and what they expect from products.
"They offered us a huge amount of ideas for new concepts and product novelties as well as fresh ideas for everyday meals and special occasions. In just one day we collected over 1000 ideas, which were written on paper or submitted via mobile device," says Mikko Järvinen VP Marketing at HKScan Finland.
A total of 45 partner organizations took part in InnoDay, an event organized by the Innokampus think tank. The young participants were recruited from 106 senior secondary schools and vocational colleges around Finland.
Cooperation to continue with Innokampus
InnoDay is part of the co-operation between HKScan Finland and Innokampus. As part of the collaboration, Innokampus is organizing a series of workshops with high school students as well as events and a new mass innovation method with 'innovation agents' and student groups.
As the next step, co-operation will continue with putting together a 'meal clock' of Snapchat shots with accompanying captions. The meal clock will provide valuable information on the eating habits and mealtimes of young consumers. The collated data will form the basis for further innovation with young workshop participants.
HKScan Finland listens to consumers in various ways in product development. The company routinely conducts consumer opinion surveys and charts consumer behaviour through various forms of market research, including mass innovation events.
