The annual "Disco Dog Party" was in full swing when one of the guards paddled up on a board to the tip of the south jetty wearing full disco regalia. Hot dogs were cooking, music was playing, and lifeguards were dancing to KC and The Sunshine Band.
What we didn't know is that the shark fisherman was also a state senator and that he was immediately on the marine band radio calling the Coast Guard.
I found myself in Sheriff Joe Max Taylor's office first thing Monday morning being dissected by those steely blue eyes. Thirty years later this seems pretty funny, but at the time I was absolutely terrified. I don't think I could've put three words together in a coherent fashion, but fortunately I didn't have to.
"Son, did you have a good time last night?" he said somewhere between annoyed and amused. "Y-Yessir," I croaked. "Gunna happen again?" "No sir." "Get out of here and go save someone then," he said with a hint of a smile.
I didn't know he even knew who I was, but later I realized he knew I was young and dumb and making some less-than-perfect choices. But he also knew I had good water skills, worked hard, and was always willing to step up when needed.
He knew everything about everyone, but seldom let on. He was brilliant and shrewd, and would support his "family" with all his considerable power.
A few years later, I sat in a meeting with he and Vic Maceo, the head of the Beach Patrol at the time. Vic was a major and I was a lieutenant with the county, but were under contract to manage the Beach Patrol. Beach Patrol was still under the direction of the sheriff's office, although it was funded by the park board using primarily hotel tax money.
We were in the budget process and Beach Patrol was about to take a big hit. Joe Max stood up at the beginning of the meeting and essentially went around the board table talking about each person, telling anecdotes.
He didn't say anything bad about anyone, nor do I remember him talking directly about the money grab, but he did say a couple of things about how good of a job we did on the beach and how important our department was. We walked out of there with an intact budget and a sweaty board of directors thanks to his mere presence supporting us in that meeting.
I learned much about politics, true power, having vision, real leadership and supporting extended "family" from him.
Joe Max Taylor was a visionary who quickly saw how beneficial incorporating the Beach Patrol into the sheriff's office would be for both sides. He was an enormous part of why the Beach Patrol is what it is today, and we will be eternally grateful for his support and guidance.
Great article Peter . He was a fine man.


Google's latest update for Google Maps had finally resolved the inconsistency in the sizes of the geographical areas that showed when the user was far enough away from the map and also the Earth will no longer be displayed as a flat surface but as a globe.
The problem derived from the attempt to represent the three-dimensional world on a two-dimensional surface now has been solved thanks to the fact that the company began to show from this past week the map in the form of a globe instead of the flat map.
The company notes that with the update, Greenland, which has an area of 2,166 million square kilometers, is no longer the size of Africa, which has an area of 30.37 million square kilometers.
The effect of a similarity in the size of both surfaces was due to the use of a two-dimensional map that compensated for the circular shape of the Earth so that the size of the countries were stretched and shown with different proportions than the real ones.
The new update is reaching all users who use the desktop version of a location platform, regardless of the browser you visit the Google Maps site, it is not known exactly when it will be the same in the iOS and Android application, thanks to the global Web GL standard.

The Arizona group Calexico, who played some hugely successful concerts at the Sziget Festival at the beginning of the 2010s, arrive in Budapest alongside the South Carolina indie folk songster Sam Beam, who goes by the stage name of Iron & Wine - it will be the latter's first appearance in Hungary. As far back as the early 1990s, the multi-instrumentalist and singer Joey Burns and drummer John Convertino were playing together in the alt-country/roots rock band Giant Sand. After leaving the group, they founded Calexico in 1996, producing an alternative rock and post rock sound that also draws on the musical worlds of the Southwestern states of the US and Mexico. Of their numerous collaborations, their most fruitful came in 2005 when they invited one of the most talented America singer-songwriters and performers to contribute to the seven-track EP In the Reins: the multi-instrumentalist and singer Sam Beam (Iron & Wine), who is equally at home with puritan folk and richly orchestrated pop sounds. Sam later worked with the pair on two further albums, while he also sang with them on one of half a dozen Bob Dylan covers recorded for the 2007 Dylan biopic I'm Not There.
In 2018 the trio decided to create a full-length Calexico-Iron & Wine album. Years To Burn was released in 2018 of the same year and featured Sam Bean's compositions alongside songs co-written while experimenting together in the Nashville studios. At Müpa Budapest, they will present this beautifully orchestrated material with the help of their accompanying musicians.

TOKYO, Japan (AFP) — A case of the mystery respiratory infection related to the potentially deadly SARS virus, which first emerged in China, has been confirmed in Japan, authorities said Thursday.
It appears to be only the second time the novel coronavirus has been detected outside China after the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed a case in Thailand.
Japan's health ministry said a man who had visited Wuhan, the apparent epicenter of the outbreak, was hospitalized on January 10, four days after his return to Japan. He reported having a persistent fever.
Tests on the patient, who was released from the hospital on Wednesday, confirmed he was suffering from the new virus.
"This is the first domestic discovery of a pneumonia case related to the new coronavirus," the ministry said in a statement.
"We will continue active epidemiological research while also coordinating efforts with the World Health Organization and related agencies to conduct a risk assessment," it added.
The outbreak has caused alarm because the new virus is from the same family as SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), which killed 349 people in mainland China and 299 in Hong Kong in 2002 and 2003.
Authorities in Wuhan said a seafood market was the center of the outbreak. It was closed on January 1.
The man hospitalized in Japan said he had not visited the market however, leaving it unclear how he contracted the virus.
The health ministry urged people who develop a cough or fever after visiting Wuhan to wear a surgical mask and "swiftly visit a medical institution".
On Wednesday Chinese authorities said the virus may have been spread between family members, opening the possibility of human-to-human transmission.
The woman diagnosed in Thailand, who is in a stable condition, also said she had not visited the Wuhan seafood market.
WHO doctor Maria Van Kerkhove on Tuesday said she "wouldn't be surprised if there was some limited human-to-human transmission, especially among families who have close contact with one another".
The outbreak has killed one person so far, with 41 patients reported in Wuhan.
Hong Kong authorities on Tuesday said several dozen people had been hospitalized with fever or respiratory symptoms after traveling to Wuhan, but no cases of the new virus have so far been confirmed.

*LaLa Anthony is a friend of Kim Kardashian and doesn't appreciate the remarks about her being a whore.
In fact, she shared in an interview with the Breakfast Club, that she's very irritated and offended by the constant hate on K.K.
So she took a moment to define what a whore is.
"I think a ho' is someone who has no morals and values when they do what they do. I don't think a ho' is someone who sleeps around because if you're single and you're enjoying yourself, that's kind of what you're supposed to do," LaLa said.
A listener asked if she was concerned about K.K.'s reputation clouding the public's perception about her.
"If your friend has a bad rap, you can't take responsibility for what your friend does. You shouldn't be grouped in that category for what she does. You can only be responsible for your own actions," she said.
you got it…i'll stop bytch….
Or else, what are you going to do?????? These reality birds kill me. Too funny…..Birds of a feather flock together…..Whatever LaLa, have a whole stadium of seats….ole bugged eye heffa. The only idiots vouching for this plastic vane chick are people of color. I truly don't understand the obsession. She gets no love from her own and she is considered ultimate trash. One day some of us will learn.
LaLa needs to stop defending hoes in the street and take care of the one in her very own home that she's married to. Now that's the real ho!
I like LALA and it's cool to protect a friend publicly even while you may disagree privately.
Not a fan of KK, this is only the second story I've read on her,just see headlines/pictures ad nauseum.BUT if she didn't release the video with her and RAY ,then why the hate really? Her voice is annoying to me,sounds airhead like, but…she is apparently an astute business woman or is smart enough to listen to someone who knows how to make money.
She obviously likes something about Black men(lol) ,maybe even a lot about Black men.Ive seen her with her ex husband, Ray,Bush, Hump,and West,spread out over years.So don't honestly see a hoe.Is it because white people especially white men and Black people especially Black women don't like her dating Black men?????Cause let's be real if you are a white woman dating a Black man historically that's what you are called by many sistas and white men,true or not.
Just asking,am I missing something,since I just go by headlines and don't read the stories.
I listened to the interview and LALA didnt say what this HEADLINE claims,so all y'all calling her out her name and making snide remarks based on this inaccurate HEADLINE are wrong and need to get the facts before commenting so harshly and wrongly.Shame on you and eurweb,AGAIN!!!!
I don't think a ho' is someone who sleeps around because if you're single and you're enjoying yourself, that's kind of what you're supposed to do," LaLa said.
Redtopp, sounds like they're two of a kind so LaLa is very sensitive about what's being said about Kim.
Her statement regarding "a friend not being able to defend someone's actions", contradicts the SHYT outta her whole shyt! Like…WTF does she "think" she's doing!!?? Memo to LaLa?…."ANYone who "sleeps around" is a (drumroll')…..WHO'RE! Is not the "singleness", it's the "non relationship/free love/MULTIPLE partners" of it all! GD. Take yo azz AND yo "friend" to the "clinic" & ….STFU!! SSMGDH!!
Just because this garden tool has a jones for Black race traitors shouldn't be a reason for you to constantly keep reporting about her on this site. We can also do without the latins and wanna be latins. We have no kinship with any of these lower forms.
Look only to we ourselves.
Just because this garden tool has a jones for Black traitors shouldn't be a reason for you to constantly keep reporting about her on this site. We can also do without the latins and wanna be latins. We have no kinship with any of these lower forms.
Thank you @Chosin Few, I totally agree. We don't care about that rich whore or what she is doing and don't care want La La has to say either.
Who the F**k is La La!?! Kim Kardashian is nobody but a rich HOE. period blank.


Two people were hurt during a stabbing incident at Amsterdam's busy Central Station today morning before the alleged attacker was shot and wounded, Dutch police said.
"A suspect has been shot after a stabbing incident at Amsterdam Central Station," Dutch police said on Twitter, indicating that the station had been evacuated and closed off to all rail traffic.
However, police shortly afterwards issued an update to say there was "no talk" of a complete evacuation and only two platforms had been closed off to passengers.
Around 250,000 people travel through Central Station every day, according to statistics provided by the Amsterdam.Info travel guide. The station is located on the Dutch capital's historic canal-ringed city centre.


Classic rock rocks! Match the song to the 'Supernatural' episode(s) in which it was played. Good Luck!

Fitness Friday: Abs With Barrett Pall
Courtesy of Barrett Pall
The summer shenanigans have officially kicked off and if you're like us, you're probably hitting the gym a little extra hard to make sure you're looking fit and toned for all those beach selfies. To make sure we keep our fitness game strong, we enlisted the help of our fitness guru Barrett Pall to roll out a new summer workout series where we will feature exercises for a different part of the body every Friday.
This week, Barrett shows us how to tone our tummies with a special ab challenge.
Men in Cities: A Passion for Fine Details
Courtesy of Men in Cities
"I want to find the guy that steps out from the masses. He randomly speaks japanese or just got back from a horse trip in Mongolia. It's the little details that separate him from the masses. Those are the Men in Cities."
That is how 'Men in Cities' founder Yuvi Alpert described his target customer to us while hanging out in his SoHo showroom. The 30-year-old, L.A. native is the kind of guy you want to kick back with, have a couple drinks and just chill — but don't like his relaxed demeanor fool you. This designer has years of experience under his belt ranging from bead making in Indonesia to becoming a part of the CFDA Incubator.
We sat down with the man of the hour to discuss his foray into the industry, the CFDA experience and how this lifestyle brand encompasses a passion for fine details.
Wingtip Jungle: You went for International Finance in college, but your first line was making jewelry — what got you into that?
Yuvi Alpert: I've always been a creative type and actually made my first piece when I was a freshman in college. I had an idea for a necklace so I made it for a bunch of kids at school and I guess they thought I was a designer after because a store in Miami reached out to me asking to see more of my stuff. So I started making jewelry for them.
After traveling through most of South America and East Asia for 13 months after college, I decided I want to live in New York. Everything happened organically. I thought there could be an interesting opportunity to create fine jewelry that is wearable every day. My first line [Ruby Kobo] was picked up by Bergdorf's and that leveraged us into Fred Segal and other great stores which then got us into the CFDA Incubator program.
WTJ: What was that experience like?
Alpert: It was incredible! I didn't know anything about the fashion world at that time and the cool thing about the program is it's like a business school. They don't get involved in your design or the creative stuff, but they give you everything else you need to create a successful business. It helped me realize what kind of brand and business I wanted to build.
WTJ: Did you meet some awesome people through that program?
Alpert: I think the nicest thing for me was that you're surrounded by all these designers — my class had Prabal Gurung and Public School — who are all just passionate about design and want to tell their own story. It really felt like a family and now I have these relationships with all these great people who have made it.
The whole Men in Cities started as more of a selfish reason. I had just moved to New York and there were certain things I needed but didn't want to go shopping at Barney's and Bergdorf's to get them. I'm someone who appreciates good design and quality, so it was kind of a challenge to find what I wanted — so I decided to make stuff I would wear and that I knew other guys would choose as well.
I wanted this brand to be built on a passion for details, but could also offer a good design at an accessible price. We're not a discount brand, but there's definitely a value to it. It's really just about showing men that details can be easy. So I named it "Men in Cities" because that was me and those were the guys I was going after.
WTJ: What was the takeoff like from there?
Alpert: I didn't know much about web design, but I made a crappy website and put some stuff up on there. Early on we got to work with a great Japanese brand that opened up a way to really test the market and we learned a lot from that. So we expanded from there and now we are a range of useful items for men who travel, work, study and play that all goes back to a passion for details.
WTJ: We saw you just did a collaboration with J.Crew, how did that come about?
Alpert: Honestly, I just cold emailed some of the top people. I sent Frank [Muytjens] an email and he responded within nine minutes and I met him three days later. It was really cool seeing how they responded to our brand.
WTJ: What would you say your target audience looks like?
Alpert: Men in cities. [laughs] They're like 22-36 and very creative. So anything from writers, to working at digital agency or a graphic designer. But they're the guys who appreciate the little details that separate our pieces from everything else. So we really position ourself so we could reach that Barney's consumer, but also the college student.
WTJ: So what's the idea behind your different kits?
Alpert: I wanted to figure out something that would be easy to merchandise, so people really get who we are. I don't just want to be a fashion store, I want to be a home store or be a brand that women turn to when they want to get something for their guy — you know, since we are so hard to buy for. So they're really set up for the guy who likes Tokyo or live in New York.
WTJ: Do you create a lot of the materials you use?
Alpert: We actually create our own beads. I got invited to go to Singapore a couple years ago with Timo Weiland. So I went to Indonesia while I was there and went on an adventure to find this little factory and learned the process of how they were made. It's great because we can do our own colors and change it up every season.
WTJ: What inspires your brand?
Alpert: I think it's really the everyday guy — not some celebrity. It could be a lawyer, a writer or whatever, but just everyday men who are doing something creative. I want to be able to expose the Men in Cities brand to them and make them the rockstars. Basically that cool guy you want to grow up to be when you're younger.
WTJ: How important is social media to your brand?
Alpert: I think it's so important and something we really to focus on. We're not super strategic with our Instagram — it's not even really product directed — just mainly stuff that relate to me. I want to grow to a place where if you need a table, someone would think, "Where would 'Men in Cities' buy a table." I want to be a lifestyle brand known for great taste.
WTJ: You have accessories down, do you think you'll ever break into RTW?
Alpert: Probably not. I want this to be a place that I want for myself. For example I made this meditation chair, it may not have a lot of buyers, but it allows me to express myself. So I won't say, "I will do that" or "I won't do that," but it depends on what I'm interested in making that I would use myself.

Fitness Friday with Barrett Pall
We've been saying it for weeks — we are so excited that summer is finally here. However, we realized that with summer Fridays and babes in short shorts, we overlooked one tiny thing… IT'S BEACH SEASON! Assuming you were as dedicated at the gym as us (Ummmm watching a Jane Fonda workout tape while eating ice cream counts, right?), you probably have nothing to worry about.
But for those of you who feel like they can use a little more tone before you hit the sandy shores, we decided to consult our fitness guru, Barrett Pall. Pall, a personal trainer/model/blogger/Youtuber/world traveler/wearer of tank tops, has dedicated his life to personal fitness (and conveniently, works out at our gym a couple times a week.) So after much pleading, begging and unwanted flattery, he agreed to sit down with us to answer some of our burning questions about how to get in the right shape for summer.
Wingtip Jungle: How do you like to stay active during the summer?
Barrett Pall: I like to stay active by being outside first and foremost. If you can make fitness fun, then it doesn't feel like fitness. So you can go for a beach jog with your friends or a bike ride at a park, you're exercising.
WTJ: What advice would you give to someone who has never done much heavy lifting before?
Pall: I would say to watch tutorials online — that's why people like me who make our videos to show you how to do something and the proper form. Form is key! If you're doing something with the wrong form, you're hurting yourself more than you're helping yourself. If you can afford it, a personal trainer is a great resource that is taught to instruct people on bettering their bodies.
WTJ: What exercise(s) works the most part of your body?
Pall: Modified push-ups — that means adding a mountain climber in between or something like that. Planks are also amazing for your body. It's definitely a core workout, but when you do a plank you're using your shoulders, arms, back — your butt is squeezing and your legs are tight. If you can do those things for 10 minutes every morning, you will definitely see a change for sure.
WTJ: What would you recommend for someone who has limited time to workout?
Pall: Being a New Yorker, this is so important, but you always have to make that time. It doesn't matter if it's 10 minutes, you need to give time to yourself. So you could spend some time in the morning before you shower to do some situps and pushups. You will feel so much more energized and when you start your day with that boost, you will be more happier and focused throughout the day.
WTJ: Let's talk abs. How do we get them out of winter hibernation?
Pall: First of all, I think winter hibernation is B.S. — but if you're coming out of that place, which I know a lot of people are, you should really focus on what you're eating because it's very easy to switch that up. Also be gentle with yourself. Too many people go from zero to hero and they burn themselves out in a week. Create a schedule that works — three days on, one day off — your body needs to recover.
WTJ: Guys always say they want that " v" shape — what's the best way to get that?
Pall: That's always an enviable body part because you can have it even without the full six-pack. The muscle deals with a lot of cross-over moves. It incorporates standing exercises and ab routines that have you in many different positions.
WTJ: What are some of your favorite "super foods?"
Pall: Anything that is bright in color is better to be eating than something that is dull — for example bread is bland, beige and not the best thing for you. Blueberries, sweet potatoes are great — believe it or not, cottage cheese is a great source of protein. And I know it sounds basic, but chicken. You can cook it so many different ways and it really is a great source of protein that is lean.
WTJ: What foods should you avoid at all costs?
Pall: I never say "avoid anything at all costs" because if there's something that you love, you're going to crave it and at some point you're going to give in. The key is moderation — to give yourself just a little bit of it, so you're not thinking about it forever. So don't buy a full cake, just get a slice and eat that. But remember, it takes 30 days to make or break a habit, so if you can avoid eating and drinking things that are bad for you, it will be much easier.
WTJ: What about drinks?
Pall: Soda! Soda is terrible for you — especially diet. If you're going to drink it at all, have a regular.
WTJ: Are cheat meals REALLY allowed?
Pall: Again, I have a problem with the word "cheat" because it's all about your mindset. You need to give yourself moderation. If you want something, have it in a moment but don't binge an entire day.
Instagram @barrettpall
WTJ: What's your take on protein powders and supplements?
Pall: 15 minutes after a workout, you're suppose to have a replenishment of some sort. People use to eat gummy bears because if you look they're a good source of that simple sugar, but not that terrible for you. But a protein shake is good because then you're giving your muscles something to "eat" to help them rebuild.
Pre-workout supplements can be good too. I personally like it because it gives you an extra boost, but it's something you have to moderate. The FDA doesn't regulate them and they're actually banned in some countries. So if you use one, have one month on and then a couple weeks off.
WTJ: Anything else you think people should know?
Pall: Stretching! People seem to forget about it and think it's unimportant. However, you need to stretch 10 minutes before and 10 after a workout because you will protect yourself from injury and get yourself loose and warmed up. Without it, you expose yourself to pulling something or injuring yourself.
Check back next Friday for a special video from Barrett and don't forget to follow him on Instagram and YouTube.
Wingtip Obsession: Solid & Striped Swimwear
Probably one of the most annoying things about summer — besides the city humidity and smelly subway platforms — is having to pick out a new bathing suit. The market is flooded with thousands of options that, if you aren't sure what you want, can be a bit intimidating. However, we recently stumbled upon a swimwear brand that has put our beachy woes out to sea. New York-based company Solid & Striped offers a range of vintage-inspired pieces that are timeless, classic and won't kill your budget.
When arriving at the S&S office in New York's Chelsea neighborhood, one of the first things you notice is a bright blue-and-red neon sign that reads, "No Shoes, No Shirt, You're probably rich." (We knew this was a great brand already, but seriously— definitely want that in our living room.) We are greeted by the owner himself, 29-year-old Isaac Ross, who leads us back to his office to discuss the brand, their past collaborations and what the future holds.
Wingtip Jungle: How did Solid & Striped start out?
Isaac Ross: A few years ago I was at a friend's house and his dad was wearing a great pair of 20-year-old navy blue and white striped trunks. I loved the shorts and tried to find something like it — something classic, timeless, easy to wear at the pool but also to be able to wear with a shirt and shoes to go into town for lunch. I couldn't find that pair of trunks or anything like it.
So I hired a friend from Band of Outsiders to make a pair. We had 8 fittings and perfected the fit so I had one pair of trunks and I didn't really know where to go from there.
I found an old bathing suit that I had and I saw it had a [Made in] Morocco tag. So I called my friend from there and he helped me locate the factory that made the trunks. The next day I was on a flight and came back a week later with a bag of samples. I quit my job and started selling swimwear. We launched our e-commerce site in November 2012 and we shipped our first eight accounts. We did three seasons of men's and then did a women's collection and now here we are.

WTJ: When did you feel like your brand had finally made it?
Ross: It hasn't. I'm really excited by results we're seeing and the distribution is great. Our e-commerce performance is really strong and I think the product is better than it has been. I don't think you really make it in this business. It never stops. There's never a time to relax because there's always the next season.
WTJ: You've worked with Poppy Delevingne — what is that like?
Ross: It's great! She's a lovely collaborator. She's a very hard worker and I couldn't have asked for a better partner on the project. She really puts in the time and creative energy and brings a good view and taste level. [Poppy] lives the lifestyle too because she travels all the time, lives out of her luggage and is constantly in a bikini.
WTJ: Do you foresee any other collaborations in the future?
Ross: We are launching a collaboration this week with Hilary Rhoda and Sean Avery that was featured in the June issue of Vogue. Otherwise, we are talking to a bunch of other brands, but nothing is set in stone.
WTJ: What's your favorite part of designing swimwear?
Ross: My favorite part is that you're dressing people for their happiest moments. It's nice to know when people go away on vacation and are having a great time, we are a part of that. I couldn't imagine doing anything else.
WTJ: What swimwear trends are you seeing this season?
Ross: My entire line was inspired by one pair of swim trunks that were 20-years-old, so I'm not really tuned into everything else that's going on in the market. I try not to be. I think we spend more time referencing moods from different decades than trends. I want something that's going to work today, ten years from now and would have worked 30 years ago.
WTJ: You've tackled swimwear, what's next?
Ross: For the first time, we did a true fall collection which is coming out in August with a full line of ready to wear. It's our take on fall — sort of what we want our customer to bring back with them from the beach when they close their vacation house after labor day.
WTJ: What are the main things you should consider when selecting a bathing suit?
Ross: How you feel when you're wearing it. Swimwear is the least amount of clothes that most people are going to wear in public so you want to feel good in it.
WTJ: What would you say is the aesthetic of your brand?
Ross: Timeless, classic, understated.

When Jimmy Page Graded His Guitar Playing Out Of Ten
Bihter SevincDecember 27, 20213 mins read
Jimmy Page is unquestionably one of the most influential and versatile guitarists of all time for many people. He was interested in playing guitar since he was a young boy. Page's musical journey initially started as a studio session musician, and then he began playing in local venues.
Page is best known for being a member of the Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin. Of course, his career with Led Zeppelin turned into a big commercial success and increased his popularity. It would be fair to say that Led Zeppelin redefined the landscape of rock music as they always tried to challenge the conventional styles of making music.
Jimmy Page Brought A Unique Character To His Guitar Playing
Jimmy Page's guitar playing is immediately recognizable with his iconic and powerful riffs. When Page's rhythmic and inventive style is coupled with his wisely arranged guitar parts, his signature style reveals itself. Although his guitar playing is mostly surrounded by aggressive tones, his blues and folk influences are also clearly visible.
Jimmy Page is famous for being an electric guitarist but he is also an appreciated acoustic player. Page's riff-based approach to guitar playing and impressive soloing are surely among the factors that make him stand out in the history of rock music. Rolling Stone magazine even listed him in the third place right after Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton in their list of the '100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.'
How Did Jimmy Page Grade His Guitar Playing?
It's obvious that Jimmy Page is considered as one of the greatest players for many music authorities and also listeners, but how he sees his own level of guitar playing has always been a matter of curiosity. In one of his previous interviews, Jimmy Page was asked to grade some guitar pieces out of ten after listening to a short portion of them.
The first one he listened to was Muddy Water's 'Catfish Blues.' Jimmy Page described it as a great track and gave it ten points out of ten. After that one, there was a surprise for Page as he listened to his own guitar playing in the Yardbirds' 'Smile on Me.' He started to laugh and jokingly said that he would give an eleven to his guitar playing.
Later on, Jimmy Page finally listened to Elliott Randall's guitar playing in Steely Dan's 'Reelin' In the Years,' and he graded Randall's playing more than his own playing. Randall managed to receive a twelve from Page which was the highest point he gave. After listening to these three guitar pieces, Jimmy Page stated that guitars have six strings but every player introduces his own character to guitar playing so everyone is distinctive in their own way.
You can watch Jimmy Page's grading his guitar playing below.

Abstract: During its first century, aviation has grown from the Wright brothers' tiny "Flyer" to become a globe-spanning activity which has changed the world we live in. However, after more than 40 years, space travel remains very different from aviation: whereas air travel is a huge, privately operated activity as it started, thanks to the Wright brothers space travel remains a government monopoly activity as it started, in the USSR back in 1961. The paper reviews the research to date concerning the feasi-bility of commercial passenger space travel services. Based on market research showing enormous potential demand, engineers have prepared conceptual designs of passenger vehicles, and have reached consensus that a passenger vehicle capable of regular flights to and from low Earth orbit could be developed for less than the amount that G7 governments' space agencies spend every year. With such a development, tourism could grow to become the largest activity in space, leading to a genuine "aerospace" industry and a renaissance of space activities. However, this requires civilian space activities to change to follow the economically successful model of aviation centred on com-mercially operated passenger travel services.

Spanish matador dies after being gored in bullfight
By: CNN Wire
Spanish matador Iván Fandiño died Saturday after being gored during a bullfight in the French department of Landes, the bullfighter's communications department said.
Video shows the moment when Fandiño, 36, was gored by a bull after he tripped on his cape. The bullfighter then fell to the ground, where the bull hit him again. Other bullfighters quickly picked up Fandiño and removed him from the bullring, the video showed. He had already performed in a previous fight.
Fandiño was taken to a hospital with a wound on his lung and later died, CNN affiliate BFMTV reported.
'A great figure of bullfighting'
The Spanish government released a statement mourning the death of Fandiño. King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain also shared their condolences on Twitter, and called Fandiño a "great figure of bullfighting."
Fandiño was born in Orduña, in the Basque Country. His official biography says he dressed in the traditional bullfighter costume for the first time in 1999 and debuted as a picador in 2002. By 2011, he was performing in important bullfighting events across Spain.
His official Twitter account posted a photo of Fandiño holding a bull's ear from Saturday's previous fight and praised his devoted and solid performance. Fellow bullfighters posted tributes to Fandiño on social media.
Juan Del Álamo, who was performing with Fandiño on Saturday, described it as "the worst day of my life" in an Instagram post. He added he will honor his friend by "doing what [Fandiño] liked most."
Jean Dos Santos, another Spanish bullfighter, wrote on Twitter, "you're leaving but we'll never forget you…Rest in peace."
Last year, a professional Spanish bullfighter was gored to death during a competition on live television. Victor Barrio, 29, was killed in Spain's eastern region of Aragon.
Both professional bullfights and bull running events remain popular in Spain, especially in the summertime.
Spanish towns hold annual summer festivals in which bulls dash after humans. These events gained worldwide fame after author Ernest Hemingway wrote about one in his 1920s novel "The Sun Also Rises."

Q: Do kissing numbers with distance $d$ always grow polynomially or exponentially in dimension? Let $A_d(n)$ be the largest number of points that can be packed on the $n$-unit sphere, such that every point is at least $d$ apart. Compare with, for instance, https://arxiv.org/abs/1507.03631
When d=1, these are the standard kissing numbers, and they are known to grow exponentially in n. For any smaller d we can see that it must be exponential as well, because there is a simple exponential upper bound based on solid angles subtended by $A$-many circles on the surface.
For d=√2, these are vectors that are "at least" orthogonal (nonpositive inner product), and $A_d(n)$ is just 2n, in an octahedral packing. This implies that for any d>√2, the growth in n is at most linear.
On a smaller note, for d≥√3, A_d(n) is a constant in n.
Question: What happens for values of $d \in (1,\sqrt 2)$? Is it true that $A_d(n)$ is always either asymptotically linear, or at least exponential? If so, is the transition at d=√2 exactly?
And a side question, is $A_d(n)$ always either asymptotically linear or constant on $d\in(\sqrt 2,\sqrt 3)$?

Located in Catalonia, Spain is the oldest and the second largest producer of Cava or sparkling wine that is made with the traditional method of Champagne.
The Codorniu family beginning with Jaume was the first vineyard owner and winemaker with many pieces of equipment like grape presses, kegs and barrels.
Anna Codorniu was the last of Jaume's descendants to use his surname and she married Miguel Raventos which intertwined two wine growing families making the Codorniu brand what it is today.
In 1872 Josep Raventos went to France and discovered Champagne and after his visit was inspired to make sparkling wine by using the traditional methods of Champagne, naming it Cava.
He blended Macabeo, Xarel – lo and Parellada varietals together pioneering the Cava industry in Spain.
By 1898 Codorniu was producing over 100 000 bottles of Cavas and Miguel ordered a cellar to build along with getting artists to design the label as he was a marketing guru at that time.
The cellar was built in Sant Sadurni d' Anoia and it seemed rather large at the time, but perhaps Miguel had a vision that could foresee the future.
He wanted the winery as close to the vineyards as possible because he believed that it would improve the quality of the wines and the building was completed in 1915 representing a fruitful balance between nature and human labour.
It was declared a historical monument in 1976 and is an homage to the silence of Cava.
Underground in the cellars is where the Cavas go through their second fermentation and ageing in a temperature controlled environment.
In 1959 the first television advert was made at the same time that the Spanish television broadcast began giving Codorniu a good boost.
In 1984 Anna de Codorniu was produced and became the leading cava in Spain introducing Chardonnay varietals.
100% Pinot Noir followed in Anna Rose in 2002, Reina Ma Christina Blanc de Noir was the first white wine made with red wine varietals in 2010, and Cuvee 1872 was produced in 2014 as a tribute to cava's history.
The grapes are harvested and then carefully transported to the winery where they are gently pressed to extract the aromas and flavours in the free run juice.
Grapes from different varieties and plots are fermented separately and during this process the fermented juice becomes a base wine which is then blended carefully together to produce a quality and unique cava that is created by oenologists and is then bottled after.
A second fermentation process takes place with a mixture of yeasts and sugar, which is added to the blend allowing bubbles to form naturally.
The bottles are stored in the cellars which have good light, consistent temperatures and humidity for nine months, but the ageing process can sometimes last as long as 36 months or more.
After ageing the bottles are carefully rotated to make the lees settle in the neck of the bottle so that it can be discarded later on.
Codorniu owns the oldest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards with vines as old as 30 years and they were the first winery to use international varietals.
With the latest technology the vineyards are carefully monitored and harvesting is determined after a monitoring process.
Pest control is free of pesticides and they use reproduction confusion methods.
They have rich phosphorous soils low in potassium and in certain areas there is clay, lime and sandy soils in the lower lying areas.
The Codorniu brand also uses other grape growers in the region, which they carefully select to ensure the grapes are in perfect condition.
Some of the grapes are from high altitudes and others are at low altitudes, giving versatility in the characters due to the soil content.
If you love history, then you will love this tour because as a visitor, you are able to visit the museum in the Royal Palace with the fully restored medieval building and the museum was opened in 1934 with the aim of giving people information that includes archaeological findings that were from the region.
The tour is 90 minutes long and it ends with the taste test in the tavern.
The two cellars are also on the tour and here you will get to see the history and explore the cellars with the oldest reserves.

Sudan Group Condemns Un's Call To Support Reinstated Pm

CAIRO (AP) — A Sudanese pro-democracy group has condemned comments by the U.N. chief urging citizens to support a deal that reinstated Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok, so the country can have "a peaceful transition towards a true democracy."
The Sudanese Professionals' Association, which was at the forefront of the uprising against former autocrat Omar al-Bashir, rejected late Friday Secretary-General Antonio Guterres's comments as a "moral and political failure."
Hamdok was deposed as part of the Oct. 25 coup by military leaders that brought international criticism and disrupted Sudan's fragile transition to democracy. He was reinstated last month amid international pressure in a deal that calls for an independent technocratic Cabinet under military oversight.
The SPA said Guterres's comments were seen as a "justification for violence" against anti-coup protesters, who vowed to continue their street demonstrations against the deal despite deadly violence by security forces.
The United States, its allies and the United Nations have condemned the use of excessive force against protesters who have since taken to the streets en masse. Dozens of protesters were killed and hundreds others were wounded since the Oct. 25 coup.
The agreement, signed on Nov. 21, has angered Sudan's pro-democracy movement, which accuses Hamdok of allowing himself to serve as a fig leaf for continued military rule.
Guterres told a news conference Wednesday that he understands "the indignation" and outrage of Sudanese who have seen the military coup and don't want any solution involving the military.
"But I would like to appeal for common sense," he said. "We have a situation which is, yes, not perfect, but which could allow for a transition towards democracy."
The U.N. chief warned that calling into question the solution that led to Hamdok's reinstatement "would be very dangerous for Sudan."
The SPA said it would continue peaceful protests until the establishment of a "full civilian" government to achieve the democratic transition.
Hamdok's reinstatement is the biggest concession made by the military since the coup but the takeover has left the country's transition to democracy mired in crisis.
Since his appointment in 2019, Hamdok has been the civilian face of the government and one of the pro-democracy movement's most respected figures. But Sudan's key pro-democracy groups and political parties have said the deal that reinstated him falls short of their demands for full civilian rule.
Coup architect Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, head of the ruling Sovereign Council, meanwhile said the deal was "a true start" for the democratic transition.
He told the Saudi Arabia-owned satellite news network Al-Arabia in an interview aired late Friday that the military has sought to establish a broader consensus with a "new political charter," that will be announced soon.
"I am optimistic that most of the political forces will sign the new agreement," he said. "It will be open to include all political forces that want to complete the democratic transition."
Burhan has asserted that Hamdok has "full authority" to appoint his technocratic Cabinet as stated in the November deal reinstating Hamdok.
"We just want him to have independent figures that don't have political affiliations... Other than that, there are no restrictions on him," Burhan said.
In the western Darfur region, meanwhile, tribal clashes over the past two months have claimed the lives of at least 45 people in a single town, the Sudan Doctors Committee said Saturday.
The group said the killings — all by gunshot — took place in the town of Tawila, in South Darfur province. It did not give further details but said the tally could be even higher given that a dire security situation prevented many people from reaching hospitals.
Darfur has seen a series of deadly clashes in recent months, sparking fears the war-torn region could slide back into conflict. It also raises questions over whether the government can implement a peace deal there and protect civilians.

GAGPROJECTS is proud to have profiled a solo show by Pierre Mukeba at the 2018 Melbourne Art Fair.
b. 1995, Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo.
Pierre Mukeba was born in the shadows of civil war in Bukavu in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. At an early age he, along with his family, was forced to flee to a refugee camp in Zambia where food was scarce. His mother discovered that her brother was doing well in Harare, the capital Zimbabwe and he invited them to come and stay. For a brief moment life was stable until the Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe, ordered that anybody who wasn't a national of Zimbabwe was to be arrested. In desperation, Mukeba's mother approached the Australian embassy for asylum. Finally, in 2006, the family were granted residency in Adelaide.
Melbourne Art Fair returns 2-5 August [Vernissage, 1 August]. The 2018 edition will showcase a curated selection of 40 leading galleries, presenting works by some of the newest and most respected contemporary artists from Australia, New Zealand and the region.
As the flagship event of Melbourne Art Week [30 July – 5 August], Melbourne Art Fair has partnered with 50+ galleries and cultural institutions across Australia's capital of culture to create a dynamic calendar of talks, tours, events and performances that will celebrate contemporary art and encourage participation and discourse.
Set to attract over 20,000 art lovers over 5 days, the Fair and its associated programs will activate the city's vibrant artistic centre, the Southbank Arts Precinct.
Over its 30 year history, Melbourne Art Fair has been instrumental in stimulating critical and commercial attention for galleries and their artists, presenting and celebrating the rich and diverse cross-section of the region's visual art scene.
Beginning in 1988, Melbourne Art Fair was the first commercial fair of the Asia Pacific to establish a global network for collectors to connect and engage with the Australian art market. Consequently, Victorian based philanthropic support for arts and culture is the strongest in the nation.
A truly global city, Melbourne is enriched by a population from over 200 countries and this cultural framework continues to influence the Fair's creative offering. Host city to 48 private museums, world-class institutions and galleries including ACCA, Ian Potter Museum of Art, Heide Museum of Modern Art and the National Gallery of Victoria [ranked 19th most popular gallery in the world], as well as one of the largest concentrations of commercial galleries in the country, Melbourne is a fitting location for Australasia's most critically important commercial platform for the presentation and celebration of contemporary art.

September Astro Update
Fairly harmonious are the very early days of September, coming off of the new moon of August 28th which always sets the pace for the following 14 days. The nice relationship of planets in earthy signs, bodes well for birthdays on or near the first days of September, January and May. The sun or life principle of these birth charts is enhanced and stabilized. These influences will remain throughout the year because it is contained within the grid of the solar return or birthday, chart. It speaks to financial and emotional strength, depending upon where it falls in your particular chart, but overall it's a very positive and encouraging aspect. Overall the month inclines towards a spiritual set of aspects, as explained further down
On a grander scale this trine of earth energies will help with correcting balances and adjusting financial statements. After all, among her other talents, Virgo is the practical bookkeeper. The turmoil in the broader markets might benefit from this for a short while, but the greater picture is of course Pluto forging a path through Capricorn, which is overturning all of our established structures.
The practical level headed mindset ushered in at this time of year always inspires the collective to focus on new regimes, diets, new studies. Why is that school years always begin under the Virgo Sun? The aspects for the launch of this particular school year (if day one is close to late August or early September) will be very promising for many students . (Astrologers look at charts for businesses, marriages and other endeavors besides birthdates of individuals. )
Less intense than the rather ferocious events of the past month the key moments of drama would be the full moon of the 12th, the time around the 16th and late in the month around the 26th.
September 5th the moon moving into Capricorn early am PDT, sets off a slight collision with Pluto and Uranus, the markets will re-open,, school years resume.
Luckily the harmony between Mars and Venus helps somewhat and Saturn lends a begrudging hand and the moon's trines to Jupiter will bring some uplifting moments and a bit of relief.
The 7th and 8th find a wonderful connection from the Moon to Venus, a moment of helpful kindness and artistic endeavors, and then the opposition to Mars later on the 8th could find some emotional fireworks. Throughout these 4 days the nice angle between Mars and Venus assists any sort of partnership or romantic activities.
There has persisted an erroneous mythology about the nature of Virgo. In the ancient world, she was a priestess, possibly the consort of and advisor to, the ruler, but not his spouse– she was an independent entity, separate unto herself but available in an advisory and spiritual capacity, her sexuality was certainly not eliminated The prudishness of Virgo is misunderstood, discriminating is more like it.
The Sept 9th opposition between Mercury and Neptune could cause some confusion and delusion; it's not a great moment for serious decision making. Wait till the fog clears in a day or so.
The full moon of September 11th,12th, in 19 Pisces forms a square to the nodes and this is a key moment for these specific 10-13th September birthdays and also for the 10, 11, 12, 13 of June, December, March.
The conflict lies in letting go of the past and move into the present.
This is a spiritual conflict, having to do with karma from the past and the perfection of one's own soul…however that may play out for you.
This is probably the most perfect time for a retreat, and seeking spiritual renewal. If this means a fast or cleanse, then be as still as possible. There was a reason why silence and fasting always went hand in hand, to enhance one's own deep inner resources and source of strength. This being the traditional understanding of Virgo, as the healer who is concerned with diet and health, is most at play here until the 16th.
These birthdays ( mentioned above) are dealing with a dynamic and intense cross bar, or karmic square, that will act like a cattle prod, as if you weren't dealing with enough problems anyway. Only adding to these times of major decision for you is the fact that the June 15th eclipse, is being called into play –again. A difficult issue, or sense of nagging insecurity, you have tried to ignore will make their presence known again, and you will have to deal with it now. Full moons are times when matters hidden come to the surface and are "seen".
For many others too, but especially those mentioned, it's a make it or break it time, a moment to cross the bridge and leave the past behind, whether literal or emotional.
The contrast between the Sun, now in a small degree section of Virgo named Poorva Phulgani, connected to luxury, and also "wedding bliss" symbolized by a couch bed, lies in exact opposition and contrast to the Pisces Moon generally assigned a more spiritual path but here holds a slightly different twist due to its degree assignment.
With the long name of Purvabadraphada, this particular segment of the Pisces moon, represented by ashes in Vedic (Hindu) astrology, lies in exact contrast to the sun, and is dedicated to remembering the dead, the ancestors who passed before – just as we are now commemorating the nearly 3000 lost souls of 9/11 with a national day of prayers and ceremonies.
On a more mundane level, be watchful that your words don't burn and turn into ashes.
The strength and definitiveness of this time , September 17-19,is aided by the nice relationship between Mercury to Pluto, information and communication regarding business matters in particular, are enhanced.
On September 16th,17th, Pluto slowly turns from a stationery place into direct motion, a powerful indication of events moving forward. With the moon joining Jupiter in Taurus this is a very strong day indeed. Plan something! September 17-20 Venus opposite Uranus and square to Pluto produces another intense time of strong action, and should your birthday fall at this time, also true for March 23, 24, hold on for an interesting ride in the relationship ring this year. It will be hard to have things go your way.
On Sept 20th the entrance of Mars into Leo brings a renewed zest as the warrior planet returns to a fire element where he shines, and right at the time of the Autumnal Equinox, one of the four corners of the year. There is an exact fiery trine to Uranus on the 23d, the actual moment of the Sun 's entrance into Libra and the beginning of Fall.
To all my friends with a Venus in early fire signs (Sag, Aries,Leo,)- bring out that red dress now.
This nice fire energy will help with the approaching square of Pluto to Uranus and the Sun, since these later days of September have their share of problems, with the conflicting square patterns — Frustration, irritation let's hope it's only that–
September 22nd and 23d are slightly better times, with a Cancer into Leo moon coinciding with Mars. The vedic indication of the Punarvasu moon whose "quiver of arrows" symbolism sparks action along with the Sun moving into Libra and the Autumnal Equinox, one of the four corners of the year.
The moon moving into late Leo on the 24th and opposing Neptune could bring some confusing moments along with a deceptive quincunx from Mercury to Neptune. Oh a great weekend for storytelling and delusions, movie time, indulge in a good book, because Monday will bring more of the square to Pluto and Uranus with only some slight help from a Virgo moon whose earthiness reunites with Jupiter and Pluto,
September 26-sSept 27th , 4:10 am, is the exactitude of the new moon into Libra. Oh the aspects are intense– a square here nasty angle from Mars, be ever watchful. It's not a pretty time.
The actions of Pluto and Uranus are still the main markers of this era, sparring other overhead for four more years. Blame them for the Arab Spring or Fall,, for creating the serious scenarios of financial and global upheaval in which we find ourselves. Revolutions come in many colors and sizes.
It's still remains a cautionary tale for those late September, December, March and June birthdays.
As we head towards the new moon of September 27th, I am reminded of baby Sam, a 3 year old genius who asked, "What was wrong with the old moon?"
Yes, about the moon, and this new moon begins a sacred time in several religious traditions. Hindus honor the triple goddess (Durga, Saraswati, Lakshmi) all aspects of the divine feminine, with the 9 night festival of Navaratri. The High Holy days of the Jewish New Year, begin with the festive night of Rosh Hashanna (29th) and continue for almost 10 days into Yom Kipper.
The five planets in Libra on the 28th, 29t make for a serious combination of Venusian ruled vibes calling for balance.
Look to see where this lands in your own chart, it will be a strong influence for sure. The close contact of less than a degree between Venus and Saturn create a harshness referred to as a "planetary war". I'm thinking especially of October 9-12 birthdays, who are already feeling a bit crushed by the Karma Planet and now Venus is trying to lighten the load, let's hope she can help.
Moving onto September 29th, 30th, we find Venus and Saturn standing too close together, creating what is known as a "planetary war", which one has the upper hand? Be astute with your finances and commitments here. Another tight conjunction between Sun and Mercury, plus the Sun's square to Pluto, make for strong mental day. It's a time to look into shadowy places, deal with trust issues, all of which can be seen under the Scorpio moon.

If you missed our post about Quack, you should check that out before digesting this post. This post is to tell you about one of the creations that came out of Quack.
SCORM Cloud has been the easiest way for you to get your own LRS, but its main use has been for launching xAPI content packages and for testing xAPI activities that live outside of the LMS.
This is how it used to be.
This is because we hadn't built a way to provide authentication for an activity provider, which means you had to use your SCORM Cloud root-account credentials in order to send statements from an activity outside of an LMS to your Cloud LRS.
This is what our Quack did.
We fixed it. We gave the LRS a home in SCORM Cloud. Now you can add activity providers to your Cloud LRS, which gives the activity provider a username and a password to use with your LRS. Choose either basic auth or OAuth.
This means that now you can use your Cloud LRS to accept statements from anywhere, in a secure and "real-world usable" way. All of the things that couldn't be done before due to security/authentication issues can be done now.
It's a big step towards having a useful xAPI LRS implementation in SCORM Cloud.

The G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors have highlighted that cyber threats can pose a risk to financial stability. The G20 heads of state can contribute to reducing this risk by explicitly committing not to undermine the integrity of data and algorithms of financial institutions in peacetime or during war, nor to allow their nationals to do so and to cooperate when such attacks do occur.
[ii] States' reliance on financial data and the system's interdependence is likely to increase. For example, in December 2015, the New York Times ran a story about the Swedish government's effort to move the country to an entirely cashless economy, and the UN is supporting countries' efforts toward cashless economies through its Better Than Cash Alliance. The Indian government is also pursuing a cashless economy.
Better Than Cash Alliance (last visited April 21, 2016).
The G20 Finance Minister and Central Bank Governors should be commended for urging improvements in the resilience of the global financial system and for highlighting the risk to financial stability through the malicious use of ICT. The 2016 Bangladesh central bank cyber incident exposed this new threat and the unprecedented scale of the risk that malicious cyber actors pose to financial institutions.[i] The economic crisis that erupted in 2007 highlighted generally how important trust is for the global system and how fragile it can be. But governments should not only ask the private sector to do more; governments themselves can help reduce the risk to financial stability. The G20 heads of state could commit their countries explicitly to refrain, in peacetime and during war, from using offensive cyber tools to corrupt the integrity of data in the financial system and to cooperate when such attacks do occur.
Using cyber operations to manipulate the integrity of data, in particular, poses a distinct and greater set of risks to financial stability. Importantly, unlike the 2007–2008 global crisis, this risk exists independent of the underlying economic fundamentals and will only increase as more and more governments pursue cashless economies. An explicit agreement against manipulating the integrity of financial institutions' data would build on recent international efforts to develop rules for cyberspace and existing international law. The international community's to date is the UN Group of Governmental Experts process. Yet, the group's 2015 declaration and its G20 endorsement, thus far, lack detail and concrete steps to turn them into effective and robust security regimes.[ii] Such an agreement is therefore a particularly promising next step to operationalize what has already been agreed to and to clarify what could be considered emerging state practice.
States share a common interest due to the financial system's global interdependence. Whereas the damaging effects of an intrusion targeting the electrical grid, for example, will be mostly limited to a single country's territory or immediate neighbors, the effects of an incident targeting the data integrity of a financial institution are not necessarily bound by geography. Such effects can be hard to tailor and to predict. Indirectly, a manipulation of the integrity of an institution's data could lead to a bankruptcy that in turn could send shock waves throughout the international system. For example, the 2007 collapse of Lehman Brothers highlighted the unanticipated contagion effect the bankruptcy of even a single institution can have. The 1997 Asian financial crisis was similarly triggered by the collapse of the Thai currency and the unanticipated contagion effect across the region. Such second-order effects are also difficult to anticipate. Moreover, they may not be factored in the attacker's battle damage assessments.
Of course, in the twenty-first century, a few states that are relatively detached from the global economy, and nonstate actors who may or may not be affiliated with them, have capabilities to conduct cyberattacks against financial institutions. Such hostile actors would not be expected to adhere to the proposed commitment. Yet, the states that did endorse such a norm explicitly would be more united and would have a clearer interest and basis for demanding and conducting retaliatory action against violators of the norm, be they states, terrorists, or cybercriminals.
complement and enhance existing agreements and efforts, namely the 2015 G20 statement, 2015 UNGGE report, and the 2016 cyber guidance from the Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructures and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (CPMI-IOSCO).
In order to achieve effective reciprocal adherence and be widely accepted among UN member states, the agreement should not be limited to a subset of financial institutions. The envisioned prohibition would be conveyed from states to states. If and when key states subscribe to something like the agreement proposed here, future work could seek to broaden it in terms of actors and sanctuaried targets. Defining whether and how data availability could be addressed and included in the proposed agreement requires broader expert consultation and advice. The G20 could task the Financial Stability Board to work with relevant standard-setting bodies and experts to report on this issue for further consideration. Finally, we acknowledge that other sectors, such as telecommunications and energy, and the integrity of data of other systems are critical for the financial system. However, any agreements covering these sectors are even more complicated to negotiate and to implement effectively. We therefore offer this proposal as the start for what is likely going to be a prolonged process until an effective comprehensive security regime can be put in place.

'It's definitely a shame,' neighbor says after second meth lab found in Chesterfield neighborhood
Home / Meth News / 'It's definitely a shame,' neighbor says after second meth lab found in Chesterfield neighborhood
CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — Several agencies are investigating a possible meth lab at home in North Chesterfield on Sunday.
Chesterfield County Police said they were executing a search warrant at a home in the 9000 block of Lyric Ct. in North Chesterfield. While there, officers said they "observed evidence of the manufacture of methamphetamine."
"Due to the hazardous nature of a meth lab we evacuated the area and didn't allow access to the house. We've all backed up," added Luciano. "We're going to wait for state [police] hazmat team to go in and determine whether it is a meth lab and remove any hazards."
CBS 6's Cameron Thompson, who is on the scene, said a hazmat team was seen walking towards at the home around 12:30 p.m.
"There's a couple of hazards with a meth lab," said Luciano, explaining the precautions that first responders are taking. "It's volatile, could be flammable, and also contaminate you by inhalation and touching. There's a lot of different hazardous materials that make up the process of creating meth that are all hazardous in themselves."
Back in August 2018, a meth lab was discovered in a home on the same block.
"It's definitely a shame," said Asean Daniels, who has lived in the neighborhood for eight years. "I wish that we could just get everything straight, situated, and done with so we don't have to have this happen again."
Anyone with information about this case should contact the Chesterfield County Police Department at 804-748-1251 or Crime Solvers at 804-748-0660 or http://www.crimesolvers.net.

The house system had its beginnings in medieval academic institutions. In the early Middle Ages, students who desired an education would gather in a city where a Master Teacher was living. With this Master, they would share a house and devote themselves to study. The Master not only taught these students their academics, but also discipled them in their Christian walk. These gatherings of students were the foundations of the great universities of Europe. Today, the term "house" refers simply to groupings of students, with no buildings involved.
All students in Logic and Rhetoric Schools are assigned to one of four houses; Augustine, Athanasius, Anselm, or Ambrose. Our house system is designed with several goals in mind.
First, the house system helps new students quickly assimilate, learn school culture, and develop friendships. Houses also expand the boundaries of fellowship across all grade lines. Students from grades seven through twelve are brought together in competition and work, enabling them to know one another in a variety of settings and circumstances. Because younger students often admire older students, the opportunities for leadership and discipleship are greatly increased.
Our houses compete academically and athletically and engage in community service projects. The "House of the Year" title is awarded each year. As the students compete and serve with one another, they are motivated to encourage one another to live well, study hard, and seek out opportunities for service.
