Because we're living longer, planning for long-term care expense has become a critical component of financial planning. Effective planning for long-term care expense requires that financial advisors consistently follow a defined process to be sure that key factors that lead to appropriate recommendations are reviewed with every client.
Here is a five-step process that provides a logical sequence of information and tasks to be completed. It minimizes delays and declines.
Requirements to sell long-term care insurance products changed with the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. Today, compliance rests with carriers. They must be sure that producers are properly licensed and have completed continuing education (CE) requirements before appointments can be made. Making the process more challenging is that states have different training requirements.
In all states, life and health/accident/disability licenses are required. In addition, the majority of states now require partnership training to sell any long-term care insurance product – traditional pool-of funds, life insurance based or annuity based.
There is reciprocity among states. Most will honor the CE requirements of your resident state. But some states also require state specific CE to be able to sell LTCI within their state.
Depending on the product design, both annuity, anti-money laundering and carrier product specific training may also be required.
We recommend a review of licensing and CE requirements as the first step in the process. A few states and carriers have pre-appointment requirements today. In most states you can begin the long-term care expense planning process with clients prior to carrier appointment.
But be sure that all continuing education certificates predate the date on the application.
The second step in the process is completing a health history. It is health history that determines insurability, carrier, product and ultimately the cost of a policy.
We need to understand height and weight, medical conditions and medications. If there is a history of cancer we need stage, grade, treatment protocols and release date. If diabetic we need A1c readings, most recent blood sugar level, medications and any related complications such as neuropathy.
When uncertain of insurability, we will conduct consultations directly with carrier underwriters to be as certain as possible that we are quoting accurately and the policy will be issued as submitted. There is no point in discussing coverage or a specific insurance solution if clients are not insurable.
Sometimes at this step the conversation takes a different turn because you discover that a client is uninsurable. Alternate funding strategies should be explored before you determining that funding long-term care expense will depend on an investment strategy.
When one spouse/partner is uninsurable, it becomes critically important that the insurable spouse/partner has insurance coverage.
Educating clients about the issues surrounding long-term care is critical to the planning process. Information should include risk, current and projected costs of care, how long-term care differs from traditional healthcare or Medicare and the three funding options available to most Americans.
Once clients understand that both risk and costs are high, the opportunity to buy private insurance becomes an important risk management decision.
Projections from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services are that 70% of Americans age 65 and older will experience a long-term care event in their remaining years.
About 59% of long-term care claims last more than one year and the average duration is 4.2 years.
Based on the 2016 national median costs for non-medical home care, the cost today would be about $195,000 for 44 hours of home care per week (five 8.5-hour shifts per week) for 4.2 years.
People buy long-term care insurance for a variety of reasons and wealth is the key to motivation.
At lower levels of wealth, affordability is the key and people buy as much coverage as they can comfortably afford. We recommend offsetting between 50% to 75% of the cost of care and a three- or four-year benefit period as good coverage at the lower end of premium.
If a couple is applying together, a shared plan of six to eight years is recommended.
At higher levels of wealth, clients assume they can self-fund an average long-term care event. We see two strategies emerge: 1) limit all exposure by insuring at 100% or more for six to 10 years as premiums are affordable and standard of living is above average or 2) plan to self-fund an average event and limit exposure to catastrophic loss by insuring at 50% for 10 years to lifetime.
Having reviewed financial goals and completed the health history, you now know if clients are insurable, the options available and which product(s) will best fit their needs. Now you can make a recommendation with confidence and know that it is a meaningful solution.
Clients usually need a few days to assimilate the information, recommendation and cost. We find it helpful to provide clients with copies of the quotes, a quote summary and a copy of Buyer's Guide to Long-Term Care Insurance, an educational booklet published by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
If clients are applying for a traditional pool-of-funds product which some refer to as the "pay as you go" product, it's important to set the expectation that the full modal (annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly) premium is required with the application.
This provides conditional coverage as soon as the application is signed. It also eliminates having to collect funds after the policy is issued or potentially revisiting the decision to purchase LTCI.
Asset-based products are usually funded with large single premiums. In this case we wait until the application is approved to fund the policy. Often we are funding with a 1035 exchange from another financial instrument and do not want to disrupt current investments or create a taxable event if the application is not approved.
Frequently, clients want to review additional options to be comfortable with coverage and cost. Once the plan design and premium have been decided you are ready to complete the application.
To prepare for the application meeting, we suggest that you complete the non-medical information in advance of this meeting. This information includes name, address, birth date, Social Security Numbers, etc. It's information that you already have.
Your preparation will help you to prepare your clients for the health information that they will need to provide to complete the application. This includes names of medications and dosages as well as doctors' names, addresses and phone numbers.
It's also important at this meeting to set expectations for the application underwriting process which varies by carrier, product type and age of the applicant.
Underwriters may order phone health interviews with cognitive skills test, medical records, face-to-face interview, paramedical exam or a combination of these. The underwriting process may take up to 90 days depending on how quickly medical records are obtained.
We recommend making copies of all application documents and required forms submitted to the carrier for clients so they can review prior to the phone health interview or other underwriting requirements.
We also provide the outline of coverage, partnership policy information if appropriate, other state specific forms and the carrier illustration.
Despite our best efforts from time to time applicants are declined. We think it's important to appeal each decline to be sure that the appropriate decision has been made and that it is based on accurate medical records.
This appointment is set as soon as policy documents arrive. It's an opportunity to reconfirm the valuable role that LTCI can play in safeguarding assets and income and supporting financial goals. When the policy has been issued as submitted, review coverage, contract provisions, what information is contained in the policy and the 30-day free-look provision.
Any required delivery documents are completed at this step. Enhancements to coverage are generally honored during this 30-day period without additional underwriting.
When the policy has been issued with limited coverage or at a higher premium, it is necessary to review the factors behind the change(s) to be sure that clients fully understand the revised coverage and/or cost. On occasion this may lead to an appeal of the decision or a revision in the offered coverage to more closely match the planned premiums.
It is our experience that this five-step process to long-term care expense planning simplifies a complex process for financial advisors and clients alike.

Q: Retrieving Data from database within the last 7 days using linq I have a view with data and I need to retrieve data only from the last 7 days. I know there is a function for this if I was using sql query. but I'm using Linq.
here is my code:
                try
                {
                var query = (from bwl in mg.BarcodeWithLocation
                             select new
                             {
                                 RequestID = bwl.RequestID,
                                 Barcode = bwl.Barcode,
                                 adrid = bwl.AdrID,
                                 name = bwl.Name,
                                 street = bwl.Street,
                                 houseno = bwl.HouseNo,
                                 postal = bwl.Postal,
                                 city = bwl.City,
                                 country = bwl.Country,
                                 latitudetxt = bwl.Latitude == "" ? "Location Unknown" : "View Map Location",
                                 latitude = bwl.Latitude,
                                 longitude = bwl.Longitude,
                                 date = bwl.ReceivedDate
                             });

                this.Grid.DataSource = query;
                this.Grid.DataBind();
                }
                catch (Exception exception)
                {
                      Console.WriteLine("ERROR in GetNoLocationScan() method. Error Message : " + exception.Message);
                }

can anyone tell me how I do this in Linq ?

A: Try this:
    var dt = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7);
    var query = (from bwl in mg.BarcodeWithLocation
                 where bwl.ReceivedDate > dt
                         select new
                         {
                             RequestID = bwl.RequestID,
                             Barcode = bwl.Barcode,
                             adrid = bwl.AdrID,
                             name = bwl.Name,
                             street = bwl.Street,
                             houseno = bwl.HouseNo,
                             postal = bwl.Postal,
                             city = bwl.City,
                             country = bwl.Country,
                             latitudetxt = bwl.Latitude == "" ? "Location Unknown" : "View Map Location",
                             latitude = bwl.Latitude,
                             longitude = bwl.Longitude,
                             date = bwl.ReceivedDate
                         });

A: You can use  DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7) to get the record seven day older then current date. Or you can use Datime.Today.AddDays(-7) if you want the time part and start from after 12 PM.
var query = (from bwl in mg.BarcodeWithLocation
              where(bwl.ReceivedDate > DateTime.Now.AddDays(-7))
                         select new
                         {
                             RequestID = bwl.RequestID,
                             Barcode = bwl.Barcode,
                             adrid = bwl.AdrID,
                             name = bwl.Name,
                             street = bwl.Street,
                             houseno = bwl.HouseNo,
                             postal = bwl.Postal,
                             city = bwl.City,
                             country = bwl.Country,
                             latitudetxt = bwl.Latitude == "" ? "Location Unknown" : "View Map Location",
                             latitude = bwl.Latitude,
                             longitude = bwl.Longitude,
                             date = bwl.ReceivedDate
                         });

In a potentially bearish signal for U.S. crypto users, the United States' lead financial administrator said he's concerned with the "illicit" possibilities of cryptocurrencies.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin had critical comments for the crypto space on Friday, November 10, answering questions on Bitcoin during sit-down comments with the press.
When asked about the U.S. Treasury Department's position on Bitcoin, Sec. Mnuchin said that top regulators in the agency are scrutinizing cryptocurrencies in general more than ever before.
The regulatory scrutiny, of course, comes as no surprise as U.S. regulators have been commenting on Bitcoin with increased frequency over the past several months.
The first issue and the most important issue is to make sure that people can't use bitcoin for illicit activities […] we want to make sure that you don't have the dark web funded in bitcoins. And that's something that is a concern of ours today.
As the top financial regulator in the United States, Sec. Mnuchin sees Bitcoin falling under his regulatory purview according to its money laundering potentials.
So, if you're a bitcoin dealer in the United States, you have […] customer requirements and BSA requirements. And those are issues I'm discussing with all my international counterparts. So, our number one issue is, we wanna make sure that this is not used for illicit transfers of funds.
To many in the community, then, Sec. Mnuchin's comments read like a regulatory mission that is clearly counter to the decentralizing, anonymizing potential of cryptocurrencies.
The Secretary even clarified that the Treasury Department has "working groups" studying how cryptos like Bitcoin and Ethereum can make the financial world borderless.
This prematurity in the regulatory timeline means any possible crackdown is still far away – at the same time, though, Sec. Mnuchin's new comments certainly suggest that stricter guidelines for U.S. crypto users may be forthcoming.
Do you think Mnuchin's comments should be concerning for the greater crypto community? Sound off in the comments below!

British forces illegally detained Afghan suspect, court of appeal rules
Judges find that UK acted unlawfully in detaining Serdar Mohammed for four months in 2010 before handing him over to Afghan authorities

An Afghan suspect was detained illegally by British forces for almost four months and denied access to a lawyer, the court of appeal has ruled. Serdar Mohammed, who was captured by UK soldiers in April 2010, was not handed over to the Afghan security services until July that year, despite regulations requiring any transfer to take place within 96 hours. Mohammed, who was eventually released earlier this year to return to his home in Helmand province, claimed that the Afghan authorities tortured him.
The case highlights the effect of UK forces overseas being subject to the European convention on human rights rather than the Geneva conventions on warfare, a legal position about which the judges – the lord chief justice, Lord Thomas, Lord Justice Lloyd Jones and Lord Justice Beaston – expressed misgivings.
In the judgment, they referred to their "significant reservations in respect of the correctness of the decision extending the ECHR to the battlefield as established by the decision of the Strasbourg court in [the case of ] Al-Skeini. We are, however, bound by the decision of the supreme court in Smith v MoD, which applies the decision in Al-Skeini.
"Difficult questions, both legal and practical, will undoubtedly arise as to how the ECHR protections, designed to regulate the domestic exercise of state power, are to be applied in the very different context of extraterritorial military operations."
Nonetheless, the three judges said: "The arrangements made by the secretary of state in relation to the deployment of HM armed forces to Afghanistan and for the detention of those engaged in attacking HM armed forces did not enable persons to be detained by HM armed forces for longer than 96 hours." The judges concluded: "[Mohammed's] claim succeeds because the secretary of state is unable to show a lawful basis for the detention."
Mohammed is seeking damages for his unlawful detention.
The judgment also dealt with other Afghan detention cases and that of Yunus Rahmatullah, a Pakistani citizen who was detained in Iraq in 2004 by British forces and eventually transferred to the US detention facility at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan, where he remained in custody for 10 years. The judges said they could not determine whether the government could avail itself of a defence of "act of state", which would have to be heard before another tribunal.
Sapna Malik, a partner at the law firm Leigh Day, which represented Mohammed, said: "On the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, establishing that imprisonment should not occur without due legal process, the court of appeal's unanimous judgment is vitally important in upholding the rule of law even in the most trying of circumstances.
"The lord justices have rightly recognised the fundamental importance of the right to liberty, which requires a lawful authority for any detention, and for core procedural safeguards to be afforded to a detainee, even in a situation of armed conflict.
"It is also reassuring to note that the court has affirmed that to deny a remedy to a victim of a wrong should always be regarded as exceptional, and that any exception must be necessary and requires strict and cogent justification, which were not found to be present in this case."
A spokesperson for Public Interest Lawyers, which represented other Afghan cases cases, said: "Where UK personnel are operating abroad, international human rights law will apply, and they must act in accordance with that law. The MoD must now make sure that UK armed forces personnel, like civilian police, are trained to know what the law does and does not allow. This is yet another overseas human rights case which has been scrutinised very carefully by the courts, at first instance and on appeal, and where the MoD has lost."
Kat Craig, legal director at the human rights group Reprieve, said: "The government is trying every trick in the book to ensure that torture victims do not get their day in court, but today they have been thwarted. Yunus Rahmatullah suffered horribly at the hands of US and UK personnel, and his case deserves to be heard. The prime minister is fond of saying that 'sunlight is the best disinfectant' – it is disturbing that his government seems to be following the opposite course in this case."
But the minister for the armed forces, Penny Mordaunt, said: "We are extremely disappointed with this judgment and will be seeking leave to appeal to the supreme court. We were right to detain Serdar Mohammed, who we believed to be involved in the production of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) on an industrial scale.
"During his capture, our troops came under heavy fire, and three of them were wounded. The notion that dangerous insurgents cannot be detained for more than a few hours is ludicrous. Our bill of rights will help address these concerns, as will other measures ministers have been working on since the election. We will announce proposals later this year.
"This judgment further demonstrates the need to ensure the primacy of international humanitarian law such as the Geneva conventions, which were designed for conflict situations. Our armed forces must be able to detain enemies who attempt to maim and kill UK service personnel and civilians. If the law does not allow that, then the law must change."

#2,883 Cotton. – Laurel Mercantile Co.
Cotton is the most interesting flower, I think. It's all I wear, which I can't say about any other flowers, it's textural and odd looking and when you see it filling a vast expanse of field like the one Ben stumbled upon today, it kind of takes your breath away.
Also, shout out to autumn for making long days on set feel like a dream.

Rotorua's free natural hot springs.
The geothermal activity in Rotorua means there is no lack of thermal pools. The natural hot springs merge with cold streams or rivers making the ideal temperature to swim or bathe in. Plus, you can even bathe comfortably in the dead of winter!
35 minutes from Rotorua and down a gravel road will take you to the thermal pool and waterfall at Kerosene Creek.
Wairua Stream is a bit harder to get to as you have to get a boat across Lake Tarawera. It is near Te Rata Bay.
This hot spring is found along the road towards the Lady Knox Geyser. It's rather muddy, as to be expected in Rotorua, but at least there is a waterfall to wash yourself.
..so here are some more 5 Free Natural Hot Pools in Rotorua at BackpackerGuide.NZ.

On Wednesday, June 20, Wagner College will welcome its fifth cohort of young African leaders for the summer-long Mandela Washington Fellowship program — 6 weeks of study, service, fun and fellowship. The group of 25 young people (ages 25 to 35) from sub-Saharan Africa are up-and-coming community leaders in their home countries, which is why they were selected by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and its implementing partner, IREX, to participate in the highly competitive Young African Leaders Initiative.
The YALI program empowers young African leaders through academic coursework, leadership training, mentoring, networking, professional opportunities and local community engagement. Since 2014, the U.S. Department of State has brought 3,000 young leaders from across sub-Saharan Africa to the United States to develop their leadership skills and foster connections and collaborations with U.S. professionals.
The Wagner YALI Fellows will be part of a larger group of 700 Mandela Washington Fellows hosted at 27 institutions across the United States this summer. These exceptional young leaders will meet at the end of their Institutes in Washington, D.C. for the fifth annual Mandela Washington Fellowship Summit, where they will take part in networking and panel discussions with each other and U.S. leaders from the public, private, and non-profit sectors. Following the Summit, 100 Fellows will participate in six weeks of professional development training at U.S. non-governmental organizations, private companies, and government agencies.
For more information about the Mandela Washington Fellowship, visit yali.state.gov/mwf and join the conversation at #YALI2018.

My boy got back from Israel last night, and I am happy.
This is not a political blog. I try and make it a place to come and laugh at life's mysteries, not bemoan them, and to whistle in the dark if nothing else. But I can only be flippant 99% of the time.
My boy was in Israel with the missiles, and he was there when the airport shut down, and he was there without me.
And though my son flew home, one of the counselors was called to fight. While I feel relief, other mothers are consumed with worry.
I stand with Israel and I truly, honestly believe that Israel does it's very, very best to do right by its people despite the fact that there will be times when politics get in the way of a simple yes/no, right/wrong answer.
I don't believe that Hamas keeps the best interest of its people in mind.
Children's lives matter more to me than who started fighting first. Our children and their children are dying. To quote Leadbelly, "We're in the same boat brother". We can't stop Jewish children from dying without trying to bail out the boat.
I am heartbroken for every baby all the world over who has to suffer for any reason, but particularly for these children.
Still, I have my boy back, so we celebrate.
And celebrate we did, with Mexican food and Dr. Pepper and Dr. Pepper ice cream. It was pure joy. With caffeine.
But at the same time I cried. I cried all day long. I cried for the babies, the babies on both sides, who happened to be born in conflict, who will be staying in a country at war, whose earliest memories will be of hiding and fear rather than play dough and story time. And I don't really know what to do with that part, except to write this.
Hah! I found my flippant side again.
I totally agree with you. I get so upset with my pro-Hamas friends on Facebook. I mean really upset.
Glad your son got home safe.
Thank you Mark and thank you Renee. It is SO GREAT to have him home.
Sadly, it seems like Hamas' conclusion is always to launch more rockets. I can understand the repressed and desperate mindset, but there comes a tipping point where Hamas is doing more harm than good for its people.
I believe Israel not only has the right to protect itself, but has to protect itself. I believe Israel has tried so hard, so hard, to be fair. And yet I'm sad for the the children on both sides. It is not their fault that Hamas decides whatever it decides.
How scary! I'm glad your son is home with you. My heart is breaking for Israel and all the innocent families caught in the middle. Babies good; fighting bad.
So happy that your son is home safely!
"Children's lives matter more to me than who started fighting first."
And Dr. Pepper ice cream? I want some!
So glad to read this, you have been on my mind often even though we are away! And if you ever need to leave the baby to swim across the ocean, you can callus, she loves Gregg!
Yes to all of what you said. I'm so glad your son is home safely. Israel is a dream destination of mine. My heart breaks at all of the turmoil and I wish for an end to it as soon as possible. And for peace. So much peace. Thank you for sharing.
So happy your son is back home safe.
It breaks my heart that so many and born into war, and we were just lucky enough to be born where we are.
Rejoicing with you for your son's return!
I am so happy that you're son is home safely. Thank you for reminding me of what to be thankful for this year and what to pray for. Beautiful post Jill.

Hurricane Karl hits Mexican coast
Bermuda recovering after Igor
Monday, September 20th, 2010...9:34 am
Hurricane Igor moves away from Bermuda
HAMILTON, Bermuda, CMC – A weakening Hurricane Igor is expected to continue moving away from Bermuda on Monday and should begin affecting New Foundland by Tuesday, according to the Miami-based National Hurricane Centre (NHC).
It said that Igor, which now has maximum winds of 75 miles per hour, was located 135 miles north of Bermuda.
The Bermuda Weather Service (BWS) has already downgraded its hurricane warning to a Tropical Storm warning as the winds caused some destruction on the tiny British Overseas Territory.
Weather officials said that the hurricane battered the island with winds in excess of 90 mph just before midnight but there were no immediate reports of death or injury.
The streets of the capital were covered in several inches of water and littered with tree branches and other debris and the BWS reported that roughly 19,500 customers had lost electricity by Sunday evening.
The authorities had urged citizens to remain indoors and await the passage of the storm. The officials said schools would remain close on Monday and Tuesday, and one local newspaper has cancelled its Monday edition.
The LF Wade International Airport cancelled all flights to and from the island and said it would remain closed until Tuesday morning.
A British Royal Navy ship and helicopter have been stationed offshore to assist in case of widespread damage, and authorities mobilised the island's part-time army – the Bermuda Regiment – placing 200 soldiers on standby.
The Canadian Hurricane Centre has issued a Tropical Storm watch for the cost of New Foundland from Stones Cave eastward and northward to Jones Harbour.
The MHC said that Igor, which at one stage had reached a Category Four status, was moving towards the north-northeast near 20 miles per hour (mph) and an increase in forward speed is expected in the next 24 to 36 hours.
"On the forecast track, Igor will continue moving away from Bermuda and pass offshore of the southeastern tip of New Foundland on Tuesday".
It said that little change in strength is forecast during the next 48 hours and "Igor is expected to become a strong extra tropical cyclone in the next day or two".
The NHC said that the significant rainfall associated with the storm has ended but that storm surges will lead to coastal flooding. "The surges will be accompanied by large and destructive waves especially along the southern coast," the NHC added.


When I decided in 2015 to check more things on my 30 list, I wanted to travel internationally by myself. Back in 2014, I spent 2 weeks, mostly by myself, traveling to the East Coast. It was an amazing experience – very freeing. I could do what I wanted to, eat when and where I wanted, and saw whomever I wanted to. I wanted that experience, but in a different country this time.
For my final holiday cookie that I made for my friends, I decided to go with a definite holiday cookie – peppermint! I found these awesome peppermint chips when I was home home (aka Orange County) for Thanksgiving. When I made it back up to SF, I thought chocolate + peppermint = great cookie combination.
Honestly, when I choose holiday cookies, I try to find cookies I would enjoy, but also items that are somewhat festive and holiday-like. I had actually wanted to make these cookies for Thanksgiving since I thought it would be a great flavor since it's made from quite a bit of molasses giving it an earthly flavor.

FireEye Denies the 'Hack Back' of the Chinese Hacking Group
Posted on June 26, 2018	at 8:56 PM
According to the new book published by David Sanger, it would seem that the company called Mandiant, currently owned by FireEye, used 'hack back' technique during the unmaking of Chinese hacking group known as Unit 61398. The hack back supposedly occurred back in 2013, and the researchers managed to hack into the original hackers' webcams. FireEye denies these allegations.
Researcher claims to have witnessed a 'hack back'
A cybersecurity reporter for The New York Times by the name of David Sanger has recently published a new book called The Perfect Weapon: War, Sabotage, and Fear in the Cyber Age. According to the book, while the reported collected the information about the book, he witnessed a hacking attack by China's hacking group called Unit 61398.
Sanger describes the experience as 'remarkable', but the part that caused a large controversy comes after that, where he claims that Mandiant's researchers used a technique called 'hack back' to hack into the attackers' webcams.
Previously unreported details on some of the evidence & methods used by Mandiant to attribute China's PLA Unit 61398 in the landmark 2013 APT1 report.

— Thomas Rid (@RidT) June 23, 2018
The technique basically includes the use of the network to reach the computers that are attacking someone else. Not only is this very unsafe and unwise, but some go as far as to call it 'the worst idea in cybersecurity'.
FireEye continues to deny the allegations
Because of the unsafe nature of the technique, there has been a lot of debate regarding Mandiant researchers' actions. After discovering the claim, FireEye denied that their researchers ever did such a thing, or that they managed to gain access to hackers' webcams. According to the company, the researchers only followed standard procedures regarding the forensic investigation of the Unit's attack.
The firm continued to claim that their researchers did not perform hack back technique, neither on this or any other occasion. They also commented on the book, and stated that the claims provide within its pages are likely a result of the author misunderstanding the consensual network monitoring. In other words, the author supposedly only witnessed company's videos on various protocols regarding the earlier attacks, but not live to monitor of what the hackers were doing.
Richard Bejtlich, the company's previous chief security officer also claimed that the company never approved of, or performed the activities described in the book. According to him, performing hack backs is against the company's policy, and the researchers would never perform such acts. He even claimed to have contacted his old team, which had no knowledge of any such activities performed by the other researchers.
FireEye's story leaves many unconvinced
As a response, a lot of individuals tweeted that Sanger couldn't have misinterpreted seeing leather jackets that he describes. According to them, the author either completely made up the story, or he witnessed it first-hand, there cannot be anything in-between.
How can you misinterpret seeing leather jackets? He either made it up, or he saw it. https://t.co/aykdu7n4Yd
— Ryan Naraine (@ryanaraine) June 25, 2018
Some believe that the hack back did occur and that the insight gained by the event allowed the US government to criticize Chinese military hacking more vocally. This theory gathered a lot of strength, considering that FireEye is known for being close to the US government.
Employees of private US company Mandiant hacked into computers of Chinese military, eventually resulting in APT1 report. The privatized hackback enabled US gov to more vocally criticize Chinese military hacking of US companies since there was now public unclassified reporting. https://t.co/v18HMgNvow
— Artturi Lehtiö (@lehtior2) June 23, 2018
One interesting thing includes the last year's bill that the US Congress introduced, in which they basically allow the hacking victims to go on the offensive in case of hacking. Individuals and companies alike have the permission to perform the hack back if they are trying to disrupt the attack, monitor it, or destroy the files that were stolen from them.
According to the new book published by David Sanger, it would seem that the company called Mandiant, currently owned by FireEye, used 'hack back' technique during the unmaking of Chinese hacking group known as Unit 61398. The hack back supposedly occurred back in 2013, and the researchers managed to hack into the original hackers' webcams. FireEye denies these allegations.

Chicago Cubs trade Jorge Soler to Kansas City Royals for closer Wade Davis
By The Sports Xchange

The Chicago Cubs acquired right-hander Wade Davis from the Kansas City Royals for outfielder Jorge Soler on Wednesday.
Davis is expected to be the closer for the reigning World Series champion Cubs, filling the potential void of free agent Aroldis Chapman. The left-handed fireballer Chapman served as Chicago's closer since a July trade.
Davis is familiar with manager Joe Maddon, having played under him with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Davis posted a 2-1 mark with 27 saves and a 1.87 ERA in 45 appearances last season despite missing nearly the entire month of August due to a forearm strain.
RELATED Fantasy Football: New Orleans Saints' Michael Thomas misses practice
The 31-year-old Davis has been one of the most reliable relievers over the last three seasons, recording a 19-4 mark with 47 saves in 182 2/3 innings. His 1.18 ERA during the last three campaigns is the best among qualified major league relievers.
Davis has a 55-37 career record with 47 saves and a 3.53 ERA in 334 appearances with Tampa Bay and Kansas City.
"He's an All-Star closer, he's closed out world championships," Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said. "One thing we learned this year -- when you play that extra month, it's hard on your bullpen. Wade can pitch the ninth. But we really like the other guys that we have. Hopefully this can take the burden off all of them."
RELATED Fantasy Football: Week 14 Tight End Rankings
Soler batted .238 with 12 homers and 36 RBIs in 86 games last season. The 24-year-old Cuban is batting .258 with 27 homers and 98 RBIs in three campaigns with the Cubs.
"We love his upside -- love his power," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said Wednesday. "The fact that we have the DH (in the American League) we can utilize him in both spots."

Half a decade after MCP began working to bring the agriculture into the climate conversation and targeted education efforts by MCP in 2014 and 2015 that led to California Governor Brown making natural and working lands the fifth pillar of the State's climate strategy. The Governor also established the Healthy Soils Initiative, to be administered by the CA Department of Food and Agriculture and guided by an Intergagency Workplan. The state also acknowledged the risk that agriculture faces from climate change.
In 2016, two state bills, Senate Bill 1350 introduced by Senator Lois Wolk, and Senate Bill 859, established the Healthy Soils Program administered by the California Department of Food and Agriculture. The Healthy Soils Program was also championed by State Representative Marc Levine. A competitive grant program funded by the State's cap and trade revenues was offered in 2017 and allocated $7.5 million for agricultural "management practices that contribute to healthy soils and result in net long-term on-farm greenhouse gas benefits." The 2017 Healthy Soils Program used the COMPOST-Planner, a CA State modeling tool based on the NRCS COMET tools developed in partnership with MCP.
There are several programs offered by the State of California which may be used in support of carbon farming.
The Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation Program provides funding to realize the State's climate adaptation and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission goals by making strategic investments to protect agricultural lands.
The California Coastal Conservancy's Climate Ready Program works to support practices in state's coastal communities that sequester greenhouse gases from the atmosphere through the conservation of natural and working lands.
The California Department of Food and Agriculture offers an Alternative Manure Management Program which provides annual funding for the implementation of non-digester manure management practices on California dairies and animal agricultural operations.

Home News Africa Appreciate positive gains of migration-EU Nations urged
Appreciate positive gains of migration-EU Nations urged
Our Reporter and Agencies
President Uhuru Kenyatta of the Republic of Kenya.
African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries are urging the European Union to look at migration as a development agenda and not a security matter. Members of Parliament from the ACP said that migration is a serious issue that needs to be tackled by opening up safe and legal means of entry, rather than sending the immigrants back to their countries of origin.
The MPs added that migrants are desperate to escape war and poverty yet the restrictions are informing the political choices being made by various governments across Europe. Speaking in a meeting of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats of Europe, Pacific, Africa and the Caribbean (ALDEPAC), the Deputy Speaker, Right Jacob Oulanyah said that migration is not only based on security but also on economic reasons.
He said that persons who come to Africa from elsewhere overcrowd the little economic opportunities available forcing people to go looking in Europe. "When people migrate to Europe, they are called economic migrants and different rules apply. When Europeans come to Africa, they are called expatriates. We need to address this imbalance," he said. Oulanyah added that there is need to address the underlying causes of migration like poverty, war and lately climate change.
He added that the governments also need to control the so called investors who come to Africa but end up doing work that would be done by the locals. Hon. Cecilia Ogwal (Dokolo) called on governments to have regulatory policies on foreign investors concerning employment.
"We must recruit locals to work in the investor's establishments. These investors must not bring their untrained workers who take away opportunities that would be enjoyed by the locals forcing them to move," she said. Hon. Catherine Bearder from the United Kingdom agreed that migration is an economic issue, citing the need to have more young skilled people working in Europe.
"Europe desperately needs migrants. We need young people to provide their skills," she revealed. Bearder called on the European Union to implement the Blue Visa which is a temporary pass for the arriving migrants, allowing them to gain some skills before they are deported.
"When these young people arrive on boats, we should give them basic skills like plumbing and electrical skills before sending them back," she added. Hon. Ibrahim Rassin Bundu from Sierra Leone weighed in saying 'migration is as old as mankind' adding that 'Europeans came to Africa and took our raw materials.'
Bundu said that the young people migrating to Europe are looking to have some of the benefits accruing from the raw materials taken by the colonialists. "After graduating from university, these young people would like to go and see how the raw materials are being used and participate in the development," he said.
While opening the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre on Monday, December 19 2016, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said that, "as long as the economic and political conditions remain dire, we shall continue seeing Africans drown in the Mediterranean Sea.' ALDEPAC meets on the sidelines of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly.
The Assembly that has been meeting in Nairobi, Kenya will conclude with a debate on 'How to support resettlement of migrants in their home country'. The Joint Assembly will also have a final vote on the motion for resolution on constitutional limits on presidential terms.
The Ugandan delegation in Nairobi included MPs Cecilia Ogwal(Dokolo), Juliet Kinyamatama(Rakai), Wamanga-Wamai (Mbale Municipality) and William Nokorach(PWDs).

There are many important steps when building any site that are crucial to ensure a successful end product.
Before development begins, the developer should know which sort of page templates may be required based on the design and scope.
Start with a fresh, local Wordpress installation and create a child theme. A child theme builds upon the parent theme and can be updated separate from the child. If an override file does not exists in the child theme, it'll fall back on the parent theme's code. For this doc, we'll assume the site will be demosite.com for naming conventions.
Create a new folder in wp-contentthemes/ called 'demosite'. This is where all of the base theme overrides will exist. Anything not overwritten in the child theme will use the parent theme's code template.
Log into the Wordpress admin and select the the theme. You are now using the demosite child theme on the front end.
Keeping code organized not only helps making things easier to find, but is handy when multiple developers are working on the same codebase to avoid two people working on the same file.
/css - unique CSS file for each major group. Plugin will combine and minify for us. Ideally, the child theme's style.css file is ONLY used for the theme setup comments as described above. Do not use @import unless a web font requires it.
/images - all non Media images used in the template / theme the admin doesn't need to manage. Good place for placeholder / fallback images and layout assets.
The functions.php file would include the main functions and require() lines for each of the functions/* files that are included in the site.
As with any site, you are in full control over the front-end HTML and CSS. Just build it like you would any other site.
Popular grid systems such as Skeleton: Responsive CSS Boilerplate, Grid by Example, Bootstrap · The world's most popular mobile-first and responsive front-end framework., or my favorite Generate your own Grid with the Responsive Grid System calculator. can help get you started with a responsive CSS grid framework. All of these options let you customize the number of columns, margins and responsive breakpoints so that you can build the design as per comp. For the Grid System Calculator, I like using the :not('responsive') CSS attribute to retain columns at mobile breakpoints.
Though it's ideal that there's only one grid system in use, some plugins might have their own. Be sure to review these plugins before use to reduce CSS bloat.
Throughout the site, there will be common elements that should be structured consistently to share CSS classes. It's a waste of time to build unique CSS for elements that look and function the same across multiple places, all it takes is good planning to make sure the CSS file is organized and short.
For common elements that are close, but not exact across pages, use CSS subclasses for page-specific instances. Example, homepage might have a news listing grid where the title is 16px, but on a news detail page those boxes have 14px size titles. Simply have a main news-listing title CSS and a news-listing.subclass title subclass to handle those variants.
However works best for you, build out your HTML comp cutups. You may prefer to do this directly within the Wordpress environment or as standalone .html files (my preference so that I can responsive test before implementation). Keep in mind that blocks of HTML should be written in such a way that they can be converted into shortcodes when pulling in dynamic Wordpress content.
Though a comp or expected design might have limited placeholder content, the client can always increase or decrease the amount of actual content. A responsive site design should be able to accommodate dynamic amounts of content and imagery.
Take your header, footer, code blocks and page templates and get them into Wordpress.
Each page that might require a unique layout should be set up as a page template. Page templates are able to be selected by the admin on a per-page basis and are added to the codebase by creating a PHP file with a unique name and custom PHP comment at the top of the page.
That's all there is to it. Easy, right?

Health Ministry: Time to stem salt consumption
Health Ministry launches campaign to reduce country's salt consumption as WHO urges reduction in blood pressure.
By JUDY SIEGEL-ITZKOVICH

As the World Health Organization marked World Health Day on Sunday with the theme of encouraging the prevention and control of hypertension, the Health Ministry announced its plans to reduce public consumption of salt, which raises blood pressure.
Worldwide, high blood pressure is estimated to affect more than one in three adults aged 25 and over, or about one billion people. It is one of the major contributors to heart disease and stroke, which together make up the No. 1 cause of premature death and disability.
Researchers estimate that high blood pressure contributes to nearly 9.4 million deaths resulting from cardiovascular disease each year. It also increases the risk of many conditions, including kidney failure and blindness.
The WHO called on all adults around the world to have their blood pressure measured regularly, either at a clinic or at home with a digital home device.
When people know their blood pressure level, they can take steps to control it, said WHO director-general Dr. Margaret Chan.
It can be reduced not only by eating properly, but with regular exercise, not smoking and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption.
The Health Ministry said that the lower the consumption of sodium chloride, the lower one's blood pressure.
There is enough salt in prepared food and kashered meat and poultry in Israel that there is no need to add more; herbs and spices can be used to improve the taste of food without additional salt. The ministry encourages the public to reduce their average consumption of salt by three grams a day and hopes to double this reduction to six grams over the next seven years.
The ministry plans to initiate a public information campaign to increase awareness.
It also is working to reduce the amount of salt added to processed foods, and intends to analyze urine samples taken in hospitals and health clinics to determine the exact amount of salt in the Israeli diet.
In addition, labels will have to state how much salt each processed food product contains so consumers can purchase intelligently and gradually reduce their intake.
The ministry has determined that among the commonly purchased products containing the most salt are processed olives, salt pickles, smoked meats and foods, certain types of crackers, soup powders, soy sauce, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, pesto and salty snacks. Eating more fresh vegetables and fruits reduces salt consumption, the ministry said. When going out to a restaurant, eat little or no added sodium.
Children, who on average eat more salt than adults because of the high amount of prepared snacks, should be encouraged to avoid them as much as sweet snacks.
Meanwhile, the WHO has released the latest information on the number of people in China infected by the A(H7N9) bird-flu influenza strain. Chinese health authorities announced an additional five laboratory-confirmed cases, including one death due to the virus.
Among the cases in Shanghai was a 52-year-old woman who got sick on March 27 and subsequently died. A 67-year-old man is in critical condition and a four-year-old boy has only mild illness. Two patients from Jiangsu – a 61-year old woman and a 79-yearold man – are both in critical condition. To date, a total of 16 patients in China have been laboratory- confirmed with the virus; of these, six people have died. Various types of bird flu usually begin in southeast Asia because peasants often work closely with domestic birds that have been infected by wild ones.
The Health Ministry in Jerusalem said Israelis are in no danger, but continues to monitor the situation from afar.

Testuff test management was always about adjusting itself to your software project. It might sound obvious, but in many cases it's you that needs to adjust to a tool… One of the important parts of this strategy is integrations. Since we've started we made sure to support as many integrations, to other tools, as we could. This led us to supporting over 30 bug trackers, practically any test automation tool, and many others (requirement and project management tools for example).
This last month we were busy making sure the integrations are up-to-date, adding new fields mapping, etc. We are planning to continue adding new tools to our long list of two-way integrations, and at the same time add new features and functionalities on the existing integrations.
Custom fields are now included in the Synchronization process of defects from Jira tracker to Testuff. This is on top of all other fields and parameters possibly edited or changed in Jira.
Make sure you're up-to-date with the changes made in Jira to defects reported from Testuff.
VSTS: Azure DevOps (as it is now called by MS) is now showing new predefined mapped fields.

Q: Javascript innerHTML Load i have the folowing code:
window.document.getElementById("bufferTopic").innerHTML = ""

i have it within a script file. the idea is to cache some images inside a div and when it completes run a script.
but it is not working.
any comments on why it is not working?
thanks.
EDIT: the script loads the image alright though.

A: You are injecting javascript into the page, after it has loaded.
It will not execute just because it is now on the page.
You can read about the javascript execution model here.
Not sure why you can't simply write out your javascript after inserting the image:
window.document.getElementById("bufferTopic").innerHTML = "";
alert('test');

A: The issue you are having is related to how you injecting the javascript. Here is a good run down of how you should do this:
http://ntt.cc/2008/02/10/4-ways-to-dynamically-load-external-javascriptwith-source.html
Hope this helps.
Bob

A: Make sure your script appears in the html after your bufferTopic element. Or, execute it in window.onLoad.
Also, an easier way to preload images is with pure javascript:
var image = new Image();
image.src = 'einstein/einstein.png';

In the new game of Monopoly, women make more than men
Tired: Mr. Monopoly. Wired: Ms. Monopoly.
One of America's most recognizable board games is getting an upgrade. Hasbro is debuting a new game celebrating women's empowerment -- Ms. Monopoly, marking the first time in Monopoly history when a new mascot will be featured on the cover of the game.
The twist? In Ms. Monopoly, female players will get more money.
Unlike the classic game, women will collect 240 Monopoly bucks when they pass "go," while male players will collect the usual 200. The idea is to create a game where women make more than men, the first game to do so, according to Hasbro.
It's "a fun new take on the game that creates a world where women have an advantage often enjoyed by men," the company said in a statement. "But don't worry, if men play their cards right, they can make more money too."
That's not the only difference, though. Instead of buying property, players will invest in inventions created by women -- things like Wi-Fi and chocolate chip cookies. But no worries -- mainstays such as jail, luxury taxes and chance cards are still included.
The announcement of Ms. Monopoly comes a few weeks after the company received criticism for Monopoly Socialism -- a tongue-in-cheek game that sparked debate for its flippant handling of socialism. Hasbro also debuted Monopoly for Millennials in 2018, poking fun at stereotypical millennial trends such as avocado toast and veganism.
Ms. Monopoly will be available for pre-order beginning September 10.
