I have SeachGuard with Kibana and Elasticsearch (No Logstash).
I also have a winlogbeat agent which do not send anything to my Elasticsearch.
As i said before, i didn't get any entry on kibana discovery.
The kibanaserver user is only useful for running Kibana.
How to configure Search Guard with Elasticsearch log analytics tools like Beats and logstash to protect log data in your cluster.
I have tested with the admin account when it ask for Kibana output and elasticsearch output and it works great !
However is there a more suitable account for this task ? I don't use Logstash so is there an account without "logstash" ?
The create a user and map it to the sg_beats role via the roles mapping.

Crops in Chernobyl are still contaminated with radiation - research
An international team of researchers from Greenpeace and the University of Exeter have identified dangerous levels of radioactive elements in crops in the "exclusion zone". They suggest that the ash used for fertilizers is to blame.
Crops growing next to the former Chernobyl nuclear power plant are still contaminated by radiation from the 1986 accident.
In a new study, researchers found that wheat, rye, oats and barley grown in the area contain two radioactive isotopes - strontium-90 and cesium-137 - that are above safe levels.
Comment: " Our findings point to the ongoing pollution and exposure of people. This process is complicated by the lack of official monitoring by the authorities , "said study author David Santillo , a forensic environmental expert at Greenpeace Research Laboratories at the University of Exeter. He referred to the fact that the Government of Ukraine suspended its program of monitoring radioactive elements in 2013.
Researchers, in collaboration with the Ukrainian Institute of Agricultural Radiology, analyzed 116 grain samples collected in 2011-2019 from the Ivankiv district of Ukraine - about 50 km south of the former nuclear power plant.
This area is outside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, with a radius of 48 km around the NPP. Radioactive isotopes were found in 48% of the samples, mainly strontium-90, which exceeded the safe level. They also found that in wood samples taken in the same region between 2015 and 2019, strontium-90 levels exceeded the safe limit - they cannot be used even as firewood.
Researchers believe that radiation in wood may be the cause of ongoing radioactive contamination of crops almost 35 years after the disaster. When analyzing wood ash from stoves, they found strontium-90 levels 25 times the safe range. Locals use this ash, as well as the ash of the local thermal power plant to fertilize crops. This process continues the cycle of radiation through the soil.

Introduction: Idiopathic interstitial pulmonary fibrosis is an important debilitating disease among the interstitial lung diseases, frequently diagnosed with the help of HRCT among the symptomatics.
Materials and Methods: We have studied a total of 48 cases of IPF over a span of two and half years. Among a total of 104 ILDs attending our tertiary care centre IPF constituted 48 cases accounting for 46%. IPF cases are diagnosed on the basis of clinical history and hRCT findings.
Results: There is a female preponderance of 1.4:1. Mean age of IPF patients in our study is 57.9 years. Mean age in females is 60.71 and 53.9 in males.Among our 48 cases of radiologically diagnosed IPF forty patients had definite UIP Pattern and 8 patients have possible UIP pattern as defined by the radiologist. The frequency of difinite IPF cases increased with severity of symptoms as measured by MMRC scale and the association is statistically significant. More than 90% of patients expressed tiresomeness and breathlessness. Cough was seen in 60% and pain chest was found in 45% of IPF patients. There is a statistically significant correlation of disease severity measured by MMRC scale with decrease in DLCO. BAL fluid lavage showed predominant neutrophils in >90% of IPF patients. Severity of IPF measured by MMRC correlated with decrease in 6 minute walk distance(p<0> Summary and Conclusion: Idiopathic interstitial pulmonary fibrosis is a debilitating disease. Constitutes significant proportion of ILDs. Females outnumbered males. Tiresomeness and breathlessness are predominat symptoms. Disease occurred at a much earlier age in males. Active and passive smoking possibly contributes to the severity of IPF. MMRC grade correlates significantly with DLCO, 6 minute walk distance and definite UIP. There is no statistically significant correlation of MMRC grade with severity of PAH and FVC values.

Djokovic sorry for COVID mistakes, visa for Australian Open still in doubt

MELBOURNE — World tennis No. 1 and vaccine opponent Novak Djokovic blamed "human error" on Wednesday for a mistake in his Australian immigration paperwork and apologized for breaking isolation for a photoshoot when he had COVID-19 last month.
The 34-year-old Serbian superstar is chasing a record-breaking 21st Grand Slam victory at the Australian Open beginning on Monday, but could be deported by the government which is unhappy with his medical exemption from inoculation.
Djokovic sorry for COVID mistakes, visa for Australian Open still in doubt Back to video
The unvaccinated Djokovic was held alongside asylum-seekers at an immigration detention hotel in Melbourne for several days before a judge said that was unreasonable and ordered him free.
Though training now for the tournament at Melbourne Park, Djokovic could still have his visa cancelled again if Immigration Minister Alex Hawke exercises discretionary power.
Djokovic's cause was not helped by a mistake in his Australian entry declaration where the "no" box was ticked saying he had not travelled elsewhere in the previous two weeks.
In fact, he had gone to Spain from Serbia.
"This was submitted by my support team on my behalf – as I told immigration officials on my arrival – and my agent sincerely apologizes for the administrative mistake," Djokovic said on Instagram.
"This was a human error and certainly not deliberate. We are living in challenging times in a global pandemic and sometimes these mistakes can occur."
A post shared by Novak Djokovic (@djokernole)
Giving wrong information on the form carries a maximum penalty of 12 months' prison plus a fine and potential visa cancellation. There is widespread anger among Australians, who have a 90% vaccination rate among adults, over the saga.
"I don't like his arrogance," said one Melbourne resident, Teyhan Ismain. "It does seem that he's been telling a few fibs too. So I think he should just probably go back."
'ERROR OF JUDGEMENT'
Djokovic was also contrite over an interview and photoshoot for French newspaper L'Equipe on Dec. 18 while infected with COVID-19 for the second time.
"I didn't want to let the journalist down, but did ensure I socially distanced and wore a mask except when my photograph was being taken," he said. "This was an error of judgement and I accept that I should have rescheduled this commitment."
"Anti-vaxxers" opposed to inoculation have lionized Djokovic, but he said on his post that he would not comment more on the controversy out of respect for Australian authorities.
"I just want to have the opportunity to compete against the best players in the world and perform before one of the best crowds in the world," he said.
Djokovic's visa was initially cancelled on grounds he was unvaccinated and his medical exemption – based on having COVID last month – was unsatisfactory.
He denied media reports he also knew he was infected when he attended a Dec. 17 tennis event in Belgrade to present awards to children. Social media showed him posing with the children, without wearing a mask.
"I was asymptomatic and felt good, and I had not received the notification of a positive PCR result until after that event," he said, adding that a rapid antigen test before the event was negative.
However, in an affidavit to an Australian court, Djokovic said he was diagnosed on Dec. 16, the day before.
'ARROGANT, SELFISH INDIVIDUAL'
Fans, including many Serbian Australians, gave him noisy support when he was detained and his family have portrayed him as a champion for individual rights. But he may face hostility from the crowd if and when he walks out on court.
Australians are battling a wave of the Omicron variant and Melbourne has endured one of the world's strictest lockdowns.
"If an unvaccinated man with untenable views on the science of immunology, who chooses to mix with children without even a mask one day after testing positive to COVID-19, is inexplicably allowed to compete in a sporting event in Melbourne, the holders of tickets to the Australian Open should demand an immediate refund," Dr David Edgar wrote to Melbourne's The Age newspaper.
"Why should they risk being exposed to an ignorant, arrogant, selfish individual who has no good reason to not be vaccinated? Legal gibberish should be no substitute for rational thinking," he added, among a stream of mainly angry letters.
There may be resentment in the dressing room too – all but three of the top-ranked 100 men are inoculated
With sensitivities heightened as governments and medics worldwide insist vaccination is the only way out of the pandemic, Australia's top-rating TV network unwittingly revealed the passions behind the scenes.
Two Seven West Media anchors were caught in an expletive-laden "hot mic" off-air conversation condemning Djokovic as sneaky and lying.
There was at last some sympathy on the streets though.
"I'm desperately waiting for him to just come onto the court and play in front of Australian people and entertain us, that's it," said Nick Shukla, also in Melbourne.

MORGANTOWN — WVU defensive end Ezekiel Rose will have a different look to him next season — a look you don't see very often.
The senior defensive lineman will wear a No. 5 on the front and back of his jersey, a change from the No. 91 he wore last season. A single-digit uniform is a rarity for a 6-foot-2, 275-pound defensive lineman. It's usually reserved for the stars on offense and playmakers in the back end of the defense.
"Us big boys don't usually get to wear the small numbers, but I think it's one of the best looks we can have," Rose said.
But the number change means a lot more to Rose than just a better look. He's honoring a fallen teammate from his days at Clarksdale High, in Mississippi.
According to WREP, in Memphis, Hill, 18, was shot and killed during a dispute Feb. 7, 2017, in Clarksdale. He was one of Clarksdale High's best players and had signed a letter of intent to play at Pearl River Community College, in Mississippi, the week before the incident.
Hill, also known as "Smooth," wore No. 5 as a running back and team captain for the Wildcats, so Rose took it upon himself to remember his old friend by donning it at the college level — something Hill wasn't able to achieve. Rose has been through difficult times of his own, getting to where he is now, going the junior-college route and needing time to develop into the physically gifted lineman we know today.
Spending two years at East Mississippi Community College and surrounded by cameras for Netflix's "Last Chance U," Rose finally had an out when he was offered to play at WVU.
Since arriving to Morgantown, Rose has fully embraced the life of a full-time college student. He can be seen at the Coliseum and other athletic venues all the time.
As for Rose's impact on the football field, he's become one of the most important players on the Mountaineers' defense. With the attrition along the defensive line, Rose went from a newcomer last year to one of the few veterans this season.
Rose overtook Adam Shuler, who announced his transfer in February, toward the end of last season. Settling in and getting comfortable as the season wore on, Rose learned one lesson in particular that accelerated his performance.
According to defensive coordinator Tony Gibson, Rose has done a good job of being coachable and has stepped up as one of the few experienced players in the unit.
Rose finished last season with 23 tackles, 4 1/2 sacks, a forced fumble and an interception.


The rapid rise of online shopping has created challenges for warehouses. Customers demand quick and efficient service and will go to a competitor if not satisfied. To meet these challenges, many new warehouses are needed or existing ones reorganised.
Warehouse storage rack suppliers are experts at organising warehouses to make them more efficient. Organising warehouse racks well contributes to the success of processing online orders by making the picking and packing of orders quicker and more streamlined.
If you are designing a new warehouse system or reorganising an existing warehouse, the first step is to make a floor plan. On the plan, you can decide where you want to store items and how to maximise the available space. Whatever system you use, it must be easily understandable by the people who will be working in the warehouse.
In the floor plan, indicate where items will be stored together. A popular system is to group items in high-demand together and locate them near the packing and dispatch station so that they travel a short distance. Many businesses find that 80% of the orders are for 20% of the stock, so the area where the 20% are stored will have high traffic.
The solution for a business is dependent on the business type, and the volume of goods coming into and out of the warehouse. You may need storage bins for small items or cold areas for temperature sensitive goods.
As well as warehouse racking, other areas and warehouse equipment need to be considered. Warehouse storage rack suppliers usually supply trolleys, packing tables, and other manual handling equipment. If any forklifts or other equipment have batteries, there need to be a recharging area. Staff need rest areas for their breaks, and office space may be needed too.
After installation, each rack needs to be labelled clearly with location numbers so that goods can easily be found. It is worth considering an automatic system that has sensors on the racking used to guide operators to specific locations with the help of visual or audio signals.
Automated systems can produce picking lists based on the shortest routes between locations.
Staff need training in efficient picking and packing training should include both how to process goods quickly and how to do this safely. If areas have forklifts and manual handling trolleys putting items on and taking them off racking, this has to be done so that there are no collisions. Racks have to be safely stacked with goods so that there is no chance of items falling off. Goods need carefully placing on trolleys to make stable loads, and regular maintenance checks should be scheduled.
With careful planning and assistance from warehouse rack suppliers, the picking, packing and dispatching of orders can be done efficiently, quickly and safely.

NVIDIA will close its office in Russia – Techsuppo
NVIDIA will close its office in Russia until the end of October. A representative of the company confirmed the information.
Since March of this year, NVIDIA has stopped sales in Russia, but 240 employees have continued to work in the company. A source close to the company said those who agree to relocate are transported to other countries. With employees who do not want to move, the company will terminate the contract by agreement of the parties with the payment of severance pay.
NVIDIA explained the closure of the office and the relocation of employees "by the inability to ensure effective work in Russia."
NVIDIA products were not included in the allowed imports for parallel imports. That is, only "gray" video cards will appear in stores. The company also stopped selling and renewing licenses to Russian companies for cloud gaming software.

President's Cancer Panel Calls for Urgent Action to Address Gaps in Cancer Screening Uptake
Federal panel identifies critical need to improve equity and access as cancer screening rates lag
February 2, 2022 — Urgent and immediate action must be taken to ensure more effective and equitable implementation of cancer screening, according to a report released today by the President's Cancer Panel. The Panel's report, Closing Gaps in Cancer Screening: Connecting People, Communities, and Systems to Improve Equity and Access, finds that too many Americans — particularly those in communities of color and socially/economically-disadvantaged populations — are presenting with more advanced disease at the time of diagnosis, enduring aggressive treatment, or dying from cancers that could have been detected at earlier, more treatable stages. Additionally, the Panel found that many people do not receive timely, appropriate follow-up care after an abnormal result. The Panel concludes that more effective and equitable implementation of cancer screening can and will save lives and reduce the burden of cancer.
The Panel noted that at one point during the COVID-19 era, the U.S. experienced a 90-percent reduction of cancer screenings. "While screening rates were not high enough prior to 2020, during the pandemic, cancer screenings such as mammograms, colonoscopies, HPV and PAP tests, and lung cancer screenings were postponed or canceled, in many cases labeled as 'elective.' We must correct the misperception that cancer screening is 'elective,'" said John P. Williams, M.D., chair of the President's Cancer Panel. "We need to learn from the time of disruption and seize this time of opportunity because the long-term impact of missed or delayed screenings is that more people will die from cancer."
The report acknowledges there is no single barrier responsible for gaps in cancer screening uptake; some barriers are specific for a certain cancer type, while many reach across all types of cancer screening. These include lack of awareness or understanding, lack of provider recommendation, logistical challenges, fear and stigma, and concerns about cost.
The Panel sought input from stakeholders in multiple sectors who participated in a series of working groups that informed the development of the report and the Panel's recommendations. The Panel's report outlines a multipronged approach to connect and support people, communities, and systems for cancer screening and follow-up after an abnormal result.
The Panel identified four critical goals and related recommendations to ensure the benefits of cancer screening reach all populations:
Improve and align communication through communications campaigns and expanded National Cancer Roundtables;
Facilitate equitable access by providing and increasing funding for community-oriented outreach and support, including robust engagement of community health workers and increasing patient access to self-sampling;
Strengthen workforce collaborations by empowering all members of the healthcare team to support cancer screening and expand access to genetic testing; and
Create effective health IT to make systems work better for providers and patients by creating computable guidelines and clinical decision support tools.

Any woman with a nice jawline and neck will look good in a bob. The classic bob is a wonderful look that remains popular among older women. It hits right above the chin, has that lovely under curl, and it has plenty of volume.
Your personality will play a big role in whether or not the bob is right for you. If you tend to enjoy classic and clean styles and consider yourself to be sophisticated, it's an excellent choice.
If you're joining the millions of women who are embracing their naturally gray hair, the bob is a great cut. At this length, your hair will have lots of movement, so it can help you look younger. Better yet, if you wear glasses, a modern, hip frame looks fabulous with a gray bob.
Keep in mind that bobs usually require a blow dryer and sometimes a flat iron to achieve a sleek look. It also requires trims every six to eight weeks to retain the length. If you don't pay much attention to your hair, think about whether you'll enjoy maintaining this look.
If you have a round face, a long bob is your best option.
Bobs work best with thin to medium hair.
If you have curly or thick, wavy hair, a bob should have lots of layers cut in and texturized ends to reduce the volume.
If you have fine hair, ask your stylist for a "graduated bob." It includes stacks of layers that are shorter in the back and longer in the front to give hair body and height at the crown.
Whether your hair is straightened or you wear a wig, the bob looks fabulous on black women. It can be styled with or without bangs, either of which will frame your face and show off the best of your features. Keep your bob at the chin or go a little longer, they're both powerful looks.
Helen Mirren always looks good in her signature gray bob. She wears it so many different ways that it's hard to remember that it's nearly the same haircut. It just shows the versatility of this cut.
Whether you want a casual, lived in look or a darling wavy style, the bob leaves you enough hair to style for the occasion. Again, it looks great with gray hair and her bangs make her look years younger.
If you want to leave a little more length to your hair, the long bob is an excellent option. It's very flattering on all face shapes and hair colors, especially if you have some natural waves.
The long bob can also be styled to suit your look of the day. To get this naturally wavy bob, spray in a salt spray and scrunch your hair as it dries. It can also be flat ironed straight.
Salon owner Rodney Cutler tells MSN's Glo that the best youthful, edgy, and confident bob is cut in the A-line style. It's also called a graduated or inverted bob.
A-line means that the back is slightly shorter than the front, with an angle that can be seen from the side. It works nicely because it gives hair a great movement, according to Cutler.
Bobs can be quite short while retaining just a bit of length in the back. By having your stylist cut in many layers, it adds volume to thinner hair that may lay a little flat.
Side-swept bangs are a great addition that is flattering to every face shape as well. Blow-dry your bangs by pointing the nozzle of your dryer downward from the top of your head. Brush the bangs to the left, right, and down the center as you dry.
The length of a classic bob tends to be one to two inches below the chin. It's a wonderful length for blunt cut bangs as well. When paired with straight hair and a long neck, it has a very classy look.
You can change up the look of your bob by letting it dry naturally on some days and blow-dryi it straight on other days. You can also curl it for waves.
To blow-dry a sleek bob, begin with a volumizing shampoo and mousse if you have fine hair. Use a large, paddle brush rather than a rounded brush to get the ends to curl under. If you have some wave and want it straighter, use a flat iron then finish it off with a gloss spray like Bumble and Bumble Shine On.
Not all bobs have layers or bangs. It's a cut that can be stunning when everything is a single length. A simple style like this is an excellent way to let your hair color shine. Whether you go blonde, red, chocolate, or gray, it will look beautiful.
Bobs with well-styled bangs are lovely. The classic bob in a very sleek, straight style is perfect for the rounder faces that many Asian women are blessed with as well. You have to appreciate just how perfect this one looks and how it plays up her delicate features.
The bob can have a more modern and casual feel as well. With fringe bangs that are long on the side and some subtle layers in the back, it looks great. This is a nice option for fine hair, especially if you have some gorgeous highlights to add volume.
This bob may look like it's cut to one length, but it actually has some layers. To get this look, "ask that it be slightly shorter in the back with very subtle layering throughout," says stylist Chris McMillan in Allure Magazine.
According to McMillan, this is a cut that works best on straight hair. You can add bangs if you like, and blunt bangs would be gorgeous. If you have a rounder face, ask for longer, side-swept bangs.
Many stylish women choose to cut their hair short later in life. A graduated bob that is simple and matches your hair texture can be a very sophisticated look. This version is perfect for thick hair that has a bit of natural wave, though it would be great with some curls as well.
Iman has been modeling for decades and it's hard to believe that she's in her 60's. This look is a perfect example of just how young you can look with the right haircut. It's sleek and stylish, perfectly framing her long face and brings extra attention to her eyes. The color is also gorgeous and a great choice for African American women.
If you have a head full of thick, luscious hair, the bob can show it off. One with this much volume along the side is going to be best for oval, long, and heart-shaped faces. It can also be beautiful if you have naturally curly hair.

The 2S1/2-2P1/2 Lamb shift in He⁺
Ulrich D. Jentschura, Missouri University of Science and TechnologyFollow
Gordon W F Drake
The current theoretical status of the Lamb shift in He+ is discussed. Recent calculations of two-loop binding corrections to the Lamb shift significantly shift the theoretical value of the "classic" Lamb shift in He+, i.e., of the 2S1/2-2P1/2 interval. In this brief article, we present a new (theoretical) value for this interval that reads 14041.474(42) MHz. The theoretical uncertainty is reduced as well as the discrepancy between theory and experiment. Planned measurements should be of help in further elucidating the situation.

Fresh snowfall in South Bohemia complicated conditions on the road for motorists on Monday morning although all routes remained open. Areas which saw heavier snowfall included Šumava and areas near Blatná and Strakonice. Freezing rain also affected roads in Silesia-Moravia.


Only six-out-of-10 new homes are getting off the ground in London's overcrowded East End which has failed to reach its target for new family social housing.
The shock findings have been revealed in a survey out this-morning, with housing has now the main issue in the final days of the re-run election for Mayor of Tower Hamlets next Thursday.
The survey findings coincide with last night's live hustings broadcast on BBC London coming from Bethnal Green with eight of the 10 candidates for mayor.
Just 63 per cent of homes promised were actually completed in Tower Hamlets between 2010 and 2013, the survey by London First business group reveals.
Only 5,467 tenants got the keys to their new front-doors, instead of the intended 8,655—despite massive regeneration projects under way like Stepney's Ocean estate and Poplar's Blackwall Reach.
Tower Hamlets was among half the London boroughs which have failed to hit targets, according to London First.
"Politicians make grand gestures about housing," London First chief executive Baroness Jo Valentine said.
"But most lack the responsibility and accountability for making this happen.
The figures have added fuel to campaigns by the rival candidates for Mayor of Tower Hamlets across the political spectrum. Most are pushing manifestos promising more social housing to ease the East End's chronic housing crisis, with 22,000 families still on the waiting list.
Next Thursday's election re-run has been caused by the High Court declaring the 2014 polls void which returned Lutfur Rahman for his second term, and barring him from office for five years. Rahman was Mayor between 2010 and 2013 during the period covered by the housing target survey.
Neighbouring Hackney, by contrast, shot past its 3,480 homes target in that three-year period, completing 107pc of its intention, the study found. The City also did well, with 436 new homes in the Square Mile—132pc more than its target.
But further east, Newham did even worst than Tower Hamlets, completing only four-out-of-10 homes it had planned.
The study calls for City Hall to have a discretionary power to determine all planning applications for 50 homes or more if any local authority fails to reach its annual average target over three years.
 John Biggs – Labour, re-elected London Assembly's budget chairman, represents east London at City Hall, former leader of Tower Hamlets Council.
 Rabina Khan – Independent, ex-Mayor Lutfur Rahman's former 'Tower Hamlets First' administration, cabinet member for housing, represents Shadwell, defected from Labour to join Rahman.
 Peter Golds – Conservative, Tory Group opposition leader on Tower Hamlets Council, represents Island Gardens on the Isle of Dogs.
 Andy Erlam – Red Flag Anti-Corruption, took Lutfur Rahman to the High Court for election malpractice.
 Nicholas McQueen – Ukip, came third in General Election for Poplar & Limehouse.
 John Foster – Green, journalist, former Parliamentary candidate for Bethnal Green & Bow in 2010.
 Elaine Bagshaw – Liberal Democrat, a regulator with the Financial Conduct Authority in Canary Wharf.
 Vanessa Hudson – Animal Welfare.
 Hafiz Kadir – Independent.
 Motiur Nanu – Independent.

Under the Gaze
Women talk about gender in protests and politics in Hong Kong
By Emily Man & Julian Ng
On the morning of Sunday April 14, 2013, university student Sun Yi-chung stood in line with other tertiary students and began a 12-hour march from the Cheung Kong Holdings headquarters in Central to Container Terminal Number Six in Kwai Chung. They were marching to support dock workers who were striking for better pay and conditions.
Sun wore a white T-shirt, a red headband and jeans. She says her outfit that day was chosen to match the others and also for comfort and convenience. This was the reason she also wore a cross-body bag that would end up attracting ridicule and harassment from strangers on the internet.
When photos of the march were circulated online, some netizens combined pictures that emphasised the then 19-year-old Sun's breasts with sexy young models. Added captions explained how female bodies were used for promotional purposes in commercials and claimed they were used for similar purposes in social movements. The picture quickly went viral.
"I was really angry because they misunderstood me and the movement, as if I was trying to achieve something by showing off my body," Sun says. "But I never thought of it that way."
Sun Yi-chung
A friend of Sun's deactivated her Facebook account to protect her but she reactivated it after less than a day. She decided she should fight back and defend herself. Sun thinks people often judge female protesters by their appearance, by what they wear and how they look and this is unfair. After the incident, Sun's friends and family members advised her not to wear skirts or cross-body bags while attending protests, especially if cameras were present. But she insisted on choosing clothes for comfort and convenience. "I have the freedom to choose what to wear," Sun says. "And if people comment on my body again, I will just ignore them."
A year after Sun was body shamed, it was Shek Pui-yin's turn to be vilified for her body. The 21-year-old was a vice-chairperson of the Representative Council of the Hong Kong Federation of Students (HKFS) at the time of the Occupy Movement.
She had been one of the HKFS spokespeople earlier in the movement, but stepped back after Chin Wan-kan, an assistant professor at Lingnan University, reposted a photo of her on stage with the caption "the action really escalated" on his Facebook page.
The Chinese term for escalate is pronounced "sing cup" in Cantonese, which can be interpreted to refer to the size of a woman's breasts, or "cup" size. Chin denied any sexual innuendo in his choice of words. But many lewd and suggestive comments were posted by others beneath his post.
"When it happened, I wished that I were a boy," Shek says. "If you think what I said was nonsense, you can criticise me directly instead of criticising my body…it is not fair that females participating in politics always need to deal with these kind of attacks."
Shek Pui-yin
Shek was unsure of how to react to the comments at first, but later criticised Chin for being disrespectful. She suggested he was using sexual violence as a tactic to scare away female protesters who held different political views to his. This only brought her more criticism.
Chin's supporters attacked Shek and accused her of being an attention-seeking radical feminist. But Shek does not regret speaking out.
"If I had not replied, those people would use the same strategy to attack other girls. I felt I needed to stand up and let them know I did not like it," she says.
Apart from being criticised for their appearance, Shek says women are marginalised in Hong Kong politics, where men dominate and women often just take supporting roles. She says even in social movements, the culture expects leaders to be masculine and to speak boldly. Men often occupy roles like secretary-general, and women generally provide back-up and support.
"This limits my participation. I think I am also capable of speaking publicly, and I also have my own thoughts. Why can't I be involved in decision-making? Why can't I speak on stage? Why do I have to retreat and not stand on the frontline?"

We hosted a total of nine (9) launches hindered by the temporary loss of the LS2 Paisley launch site.
We managed to launch a total of 438 model rockets and burn a total of 504 model rocket engines.
The total impulse of engines burned equals 17,768 Newtons of 86.8% of a "N" engine.
Not bad for a small club located in Southern Ontario.
Next year we should have the full use of the Paisley Launch site. The new grass has germinated and the field should be ready for us in the Spring. The new CRC 2019 launch schedulehas been posted. There are a full thirteen (13) launches scheduled including the return of double launches in May, June, July and August as well as a BBQ and night launch on June 8th.
Please note there are no launches scheduled over the winter due to limited launch site access and diminished interest. It conditions permit a winter launch will be scheduled on short notice.
New themes have been added to the launch schedule including celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 2019. We will encourage as many people to build and fly Saturn V's on that day. We also have launch days dedicated to altitude, multi-staging and cluster engine launches. We will also host a competition launch on September 14th.
Our first launch of 2019 is scheduled for April 13th so we have plenty of time to build and prepare for another exciting season at the Cambridge Rocket Club.


Strand of the Ancients Veteran - This is the token 'win 100 battlegrounds' achievement for this meta. It just takes time, and apart from saying "be patient and win as much as possible" there's not much advice for this one.
Storm the Beach - The 'rush' achievement, win before the End of Round timer hits 6:00 in the first round, and varying in the second round. This is probably not going to happen against a particularly competent enemy team, but just remember - the gates have VERY low health, and even half a team of bombs + 2 demos can take one down in seconds. Capping the graveyards is worth it, because it greatly lowers your run time and caps instantly, so just dash through, nuking the gates and defending your demolishers above all else.
Steady Hands - Often, you will get people doing little else except spamming bombs in hope of getting the Dapper Sapper and Explosives Expert achievements. Some, especially the latter, won't watch their bombs and will instantly mount up and ride away, giving you easy time to jump in and disarm it - this is especially easy for a stealth class, but standing on the platform above the gate can make you pretty much invisible to someone with enough tunnel vision.
The Dapper Sapper - Probably the most time-consuming of the 'do 100' achievements, but one you will easily get before 100 wins with very little effort. Just remember, disarmed bombs will NOT count, nor will it count if the wall dies first - protect your bomb, and don't drop it on a wall that's about to die. If your team goes 1 way and leaves a gate up and practically undefended, good for you, free points!
Explosives Expert - The '5-in-1' version of The Dapper Sapper, this is probably best done on a game where a gate is left unattacked and undefended. Make sure to watch out for people trying to get Steady Hands done, they WILL be the bane of your existence!
Not Even a Scratch - Easily the hardest achievement in the meta, one I find to be on par with, if not harder than, the infamous 1600-1590 AB win (your mileage may vary). This needs you to defend your vehicles carefully - and remember, the opposing team WILL run out and try and break them. Protect them and bomb down the walls, and once you get past the first set just leave a competant guard or two and continue on with bombs - bringing the vehicle forwards WILL get it killed. This means you'll have more defenders than attackers, but you really don't want to risk some lone rogue ruining the achievement attempt - do you?
Artillery Veteran - Get in a turret where, or near, the fighting. With the increased HK range recently, you'll be getting credit for both sides, and since you don't need HKs this basically boils down to "sit in a turret, nuke what you want, and have 100 vehicles die within sight of you". The hardest bit is making sure you get in a turret!
Artillery Expert - Very easy, more than 5 vehicles will easily be destroyed in the game, you just need to make sure you're in a nearby turret for it.
Drop it! - Another that does not need HKs and will be completed over time - you'll probably get this one done while trying to do other achievements! In short, people with the buff "Carrying Seaforium" need to die in range of you, which makes nuking down people as they try to be a Dapper Sapper very effective - just remember, if they drop the bomb before they die you won't get the point, but can probably disarm it for a Steady Hands point!
Drop it Now! - Do above 5 times in one battle. Just stay in the main fight and you'll probably get this without noticing until the achievement box pops up.
Ancient Protector - After the yellow gate does down, stand in the big open space behind it and have 10 people die near you. Easiest in-1-battle ach EVER.
Defense of the Ancients/Not Even a Scratch - hard to do, rare to see in a PuG, it is VERY easy to get 100 wins without one or either of these.
Steady Hands/Explosives Expert - If the opportunity arises to do these "in 1 battle" achievements, do them - see above for the most opportune moments.
Strand of the Ancients Veteran - So long as you drop bombs on the attack, sit in turrets on the defense and help defend the Courtyard, you WILL get all the other achievements long before 100 games, let alone 100 wins. The possible, but unlikely, exception is Storm the Beach, but this should be done at least once during this long series of games - especially if you did Defense of the Ancients!
Strand of the Ancients has been removed in Battle for Azeroth.

Coaching and training have always been a means to cope with change and progress. However, with the advent of Postnormal Times, which is characterized by complexity, chaos and contradictions, traditional approaches to coaching and training based on skills acquisition and management are not just ineffective--they are part of the problem! Dramatic and swift change is sweeping across many industries, and yet many leaders are unprepared to act and operationalize shifts to confront the disruptions of life in postnormal times. Now, more than ever, leaders need wisdom to navigate through the complexity, chaos, and contradictions of life in an age of tumult.
Creating wise leaders and adopting anticipatory perspectives represents a significant departure from conventional conceptions and models of leadership. Wise coaching and training is an X-factor, and points toward the creation of a new cohort of global leaders with heightened futures consciousness and proactive awareness of postnormal times. This is the mindset of wise leaders, such as Sam Altman the president of Y-Combinator and his project of UBI (Universal Basic Income). It is through wise coaching and training, which will be based on the forthcoming Wisdom Index (WI) and the Wisdom Maturity Model (WMM) that we can foster and support a new generation of wisdom leaders.

AN ACT
To repeal section 407.485, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to donation receptacles.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 407.485, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 407.485, to read as follows:
407.485. 1. It shall be an unfair business practice in violation of section 407.020 for a for-profit entity or natural person to collect donations of unwanted household items via a public receptacle and resell the donated items for profit unless the donation receptacle prominently displays a statement in bold letters at least two inches high and two inches wide stating: "DONATIONS ARE NOT FOR CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS AND WILL BE RESOLD FOR PROFIT".

No wonder free movement of EU labour is a hot topic for UK
I would not describe myself as a Eurosceptic and also think immigration is generally positive for the British economy. However, a decade ago when a group of central and eastern European countries joined the EU I questioned the wisdom of immediately allowing citizens of those countries to enter the UK labour market.
My concern was that free movement of labour within the EU, though correct in principle, had the potential to cause practical difficulties given the very substantial income disparity between existing member states and these former communist bloc newcomers. The sensible course, in my opinion, would have been for the UK to follow the example of most other existing member states at the time and take advantage of scope for transitional restrictions on migration from the new member states while the latter integrated into the EU economy. Instead, the UK adopted an open door policy, resulting in a flow of eastern Europeans across our borders that has proved so large as to alter the complexion of many local communities and, in the process, not only propelled immigration to the top of the political agenda but also placed the issue of the free movement of labour at the centre of debate over the UK's membership of the EU.
Politics aside, most economists contend that my concern has proved misplaced. My worry was that in an economy oversupplied with less skilled labour, an inflow of labour from low income countries would reduce the employment of less skilled British born people and/or lower their pay levels. As things turned out I was wrong about the employment effect of immigration, mainly because a decade ago I hadn't quite appreciated how ultra-flexible the UK's uber deregulated labour market has become. Nowadays it seems as though you can pump as much labour supply into the market as you like and still create lots of low productivity jobs because pay takes the strain and prices people into work, albeit the impact of migration on pay is generally found to be small, in part because the national minimum wage provides a floor to pay at the bottom of the market.
The national minimum wage has proved a policy Godsend in this respect since, despite protestations to the contrary, it's pretty clear that UK employers have been hiring EU migrants primarily to cut wage costs. This is apparent from a recent study by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). Oddly, while the CIPD is at pains to stress that 'what the vast majority of employers are not doing is hiring migrants to lower the wage bill' its key headline is that employers have been turning to EU migrants to fill entry level job vacancies, particularly for lower skilled jobs, because they are more skilled and 'a bit older and have more work experience'. If hiring migrants with skills and experience into low skilled entry level jobs at low pay isn't about cutting the wage bill for a given value of output I'd sure as hell like to know what it is.
It's obvious that bosses, along with migrants themselves, benefit most from immigration. British born people benefit as consumers too, assuming the lower cost of employing migrants feeds through to product and service prices rather than adds to profit. But for British born workers the blessing is mixed, with immigration one of several supply side factors now keeping the lid on growth in pay with millions of people, British born and migrants alike, employed in jobs that pay less than a living wage. No wonder that immigration is a hot political topic. No wonder that free movement of labour within the EU is a matter of debate.
Rise in number of economically inactive people enables unemployment to fall below 2 million despite slower pace of job creation as self-employment records sharp quarterly fall
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has this morning released the latest set of UK labour market data, mostly covering the three months June to August 2014.
The fall in unemployment to below 2 million (1.97 million or 6% of the workforce, the lowest rate since late 2008) will grab the headlines but the latest figures suggest an underlying change in the pattern of the labour market recovery. The pace of net employment creation (up just 46,000 in the latest quarter to a total of 30.76 million, with a working age employment rate of 73%) has slowed markedly compared with earlier in the year, due in large part to a sharp quarterly net fall of 76,000 in self-employment. As for employees, continued growth of 107,000 in the quarter was split roughly between full-timers and part-timers (causing another slight fall, to 1.35 million, in the number of people working part-time because unable to find a full-time job). However, unemployment has nonetheless continued to fall sharply because slower employment growth was dwarfed by a big quarterly rise of 113,000 in the number of economically inactive people, almost half of which is accounted for by a rise in the student population. The fact that the latest fall in unemployment has been driven by rising inactivity rather than employment creation also helps explain why the associated fall of 18,600 between August and September in the number of people unemployed and claiming job seekers allowance (JSA) is also much lower than in recent months.
There is slightly better news on the rate of growth in average weekly earnings (unchanged at 0.7% including bonuses and up to 0.9% when bonuses are excluded) though this is still much lower than the accompanying rate of price inflation and there is little sign of an imminent pay surge to end the real wage squeeze.
Is Mr Farage the answer to our political purgatory?
The BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Sky News this morning outlined plans for a series of three televised debates between the political party leaders during next year's General Election campaign. As I write, it's unclear whether the suggested formats will be acceptable to those invited, and those excluded (the Greens and the Nationalists) from the plans are bound to be unhappy. Much of the difficulty in determining the format stems from the ever rising profile of UKIP and its leader Nigel Farage, who the broadcasters know is the only mainstream politician other than London Mayor Boris Johnson likely nowadays to draw a really big TV audience for such programming.
Mr Farage is popular because he is a populist and conveys an image of having lived a bit that many people clearly relate to. There was a time when more politicians came across this way. Last week marked the 40th anniversary of the October 1974 General Election and the BBC Parliament Channel re-broadcast the accompanying results programme. I was a couple of months short of my 17th birthday at the time but remember watching the journalists quizzing varied pollsters, pundits and politicians as they pondered on what it all meant for the parties.
Looking back, most of those involved 40 years ago are now sadly departed, whether to heaven, hell or (God forbid) some kind of endless purgatory for politicos nobody knows. What struck me most, however, was the contrast between politician and pundit. All of the former (at least in the hour or so I watched the re-broadcast) were of an age to have lived through the Second World War, in most cases as adults. Not only were they wrapped in the aura of experience, their manner and accents reflected the class mix of the vox pop which also punctuated the programme. The pundits, generally somewhat younger, appeared trendier, more sophisticated and socially a bit removed from the general populous, often aided by the occasional drag on a cigarette, the latter anathema by today's values but then a cool counterpoint to the common person style of Prime Minister Harold Wilson with his pipe and slight northern drawl.
Well over a generation on, and the distinction between politician and pundit has all but disappeared. Most look and sound the same and tend to have had similar education and experience. They are not so much a political establishment as a political class that transcends the ideological views and party labels they display. Moreover, in the era of multiple think tanks, unelected quangos and digital commentators the members of the political class are increasingly interchangeable, today's pundit or quangocrat becoming tomorrow's politician and vice versa. Rightly or wrongly, to the everyday Janet or John outside this class all that appears to matter at any particular time is whose in and whose out rather than the underlying state of the nation. The prospect of continued coalition government further exacerbates this feeling, offering the nauseating sight of parties condemning each other's policies while happy to get into bed together so as to grab a slice of ministerial power.
Continuation of this situation could itself be said to amount to a form of political purgatory for the living, with endless hand wringing about 'connecting with the people' combined with perpetual frustration that nothing will ever change. The only means of escape is to replace the political career as we have come to know it with an ethos of political service: opportunity to participate in democratic politics extended through increased devolution to a wider citizenry, combined with greater ongoing influence over the activities of all those – political bodies, public agencies and corporations – who affect our lives.
I don't yet know enough about Mr Farage to determine whether he is a genuine outsider seeking to break the prevailing mould or a canny insider who thinks his best chance of rising within the ranks of the political class and advancing his own ideological beliefs is to exploit disenchantment with the economic and social consequences of its stultifying grip on power. Whatever the configuration of public debate ahead of the General Election this is the fundamental question he and his party need to answer. As for the other parties, they must demonstrate that political change means more than simply rearranging the Whitehall furniture.

Marilyn Elliott spent 10 years as a chemical engineer. How she became a board-certified chiropractor.
Dr. Marilyn Elliott (Ariel Worthy)
By Je'Don Holloway Talley
For the Birmingham Times
One session with an energy healer over the telephone introduced Marilyn Elliott to a whole new way of helping patients.
Elliott, 58, is a board-certified Doctor of Chiropractic, and she recalls a time when she needed a way to deal with emotional pain she could not resolve on her own. That incident led her to contact an energy healer.
"[I] was so thoroughly shocked at the effectiveness of that session in relieving my distress, so I pursued additional training in emotional energy healing techniques to help my patients, as well," she said.
Elliott began her study in Energy Medicine in 2003 and now holds the highest available Advanced-Level Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET) certification. She is currently the only certified NAET practitioner in the state of Alabama.
NAET is a noninvasive, drug-free, natural solution for alleviating allergies of all types using procedures from chiropractic and nutritional disciplines of medicine.
"I now use emotional NAET treatments — or emotional energy healing — to release energy blockages my patients have that cause them to be stuck with the same old issues," Elliott said.
With NAET the central nervous system can be "rebooted" to accept the energy of whatever the patient is allergic to and thereby eliminate the allergy to the substance. Hypnosis, energy work, and dietary changes all spur wellness and healing within the human body, but "allergy elimination is found to address the root cause of various illnesses, even depression," she said.
Many parents of depressed teenagers are surprised to learn that their kids suffer from brain allergies, said Elliott, who notes that current research "has found that allergies can affect any system of the body, including the central nervous system."
Helping People Get Well
Elliott, an Aberdeen, Miss., native, said she knew at age 10 "that I would spend my life as a doctor helping sick people get well."
One thing that sparked her interest in becoming a medical professional may have been that she was a sick child who endured years of failed medicinal therapies that provided no solution. Elliott was on the medical career track before she chose to leave the pre-med program and pursue a bachelor of science in chemical engineering, which she earned from Mississippi State University in 1983.
"I spent about 10 years in chemical engineering, feeling that I had lost my way," she said. "More disconcerting to me, though, was how my health had begun to deteriorate. I had shortness of breath, extreme fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, and what was later diagnosed as interstitial cystitis."
Set on taking control of her own recovery, Elliott went to a local health-food store to buy several books on natural healing. She then began a regimen that included detoxifying fasts, internal cleansing, and organic raw vegetables and fruits.
"I studied several books on natural healing and applied many of the recommendations I read," she said.
After six years, the pain and illness Elliott had suffered for ten months "simply disappeared. It was gone," she said.
"The more I learned about nutrition and natural healing, the more I wanted to know."
Elliott, who went on to become a certified clinical nutritionist, hypnotist, medical intuitive, and acupuncturist, enrolled at Life University School of Chiropractic in Marietta, Ga. She graduated as a board-certified chiropractor in the autumn of 1997 and moved to Birmingham that summer.
Elliott also was trained in Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy (QHHT), which helps patients seek the ability to communicate with their higher consciousness.
"I was so impressed by what I heard about QHHT that I received basic and advanced training … to help patients seeking the ability to receive direction for their lives and get their most urgent questions answered."
At a patient's first consultation with Elliott, there is no cracking of bones that one expects from a chiropractic visit.
"I analyze each patient using kinesiology or muscle testing to determine which body system takes priority in balancing, what is creating the imbalance—food allergy, immune-system challenges, heavy metals, chemicals—and what it will take to balance it," she said. "I use whole-food supplements, herbs, homeopathic remedies, and detoxification methods."
Elliott also offers practical advice.
Asked how diet impacts health, she said: "When you eat the foods your body requires in order to make healthy cells and eliminate waste, your health improves. When you eat foods that do nothing but add to your body's load of toxins, you create sickness with each bite."
What about herbs and vitamins?
"Herbs are nature's drugs, but they are not meant to be taken as a supplement for daily vitamins," Elliott said. "Herbs are needed only sometimes, but they are not meant to be taken for indefinite periods of time; they are necessary just when the body needs support.
"Synthetic, over-the-counter vitamins should be completely avoided. Only food-based supplements should be used by anyone serious about healing their bodies. The best daily supplement is freshly-made green drinks with chia seeds.
Doctor of the Future
Elliott said she wants her patients to view self-care as health care.
"I teach my patients how to take care of themselves, how to balance their energies to stop allergic reactions, what types of foods to eat to heal, how to use essential oils to facilitate healing, and methods of detoxification they can use at home to care for themselves," she said.
Elliott said Thomas Edison described her in 1903 when he said, "The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."

Regarding this item below does it come with the prepaid UPS and USPS return shipping labels should the gift recipient need to return to me for a valid reason?
Also if a problem surfaces and tablet is still within the 30 day return policy from the date I actually received the item from the HSN carrier should I call HSN to explain why it is being returned before I use the prepaid return shipping labels?
Lastly I believe HSN will notify my Visa bank debit card account of this HSN flex pay item I just ordered, so they can place a temporary hold on it, but not actually bill my bank Visa debit card account for the first flex payment until the date arrives this item ships out with a track# which I can read.
I AWAIT YOUR HSN SUPERVISOR OR MANAGER REPLY ON THIS POST OUTLINED ABOVE, AND MANY THANKS HSN.
Hi @redman1, I am sorry, this item does not come with an Easy Return Label. However, if the item should stop working at any time during the 30 day in home guarantee, please give our Customer Service a call and we'd be more than happy to assist with it.

Coronavirus Update: What we're doing to keep you safe.
How To Get Motivated
"The impediment to action advances action, what stands in the way becomes the way" Marcus Aurelius.
Eric Thomas said that he didn't believe in procrastination and made an analogy.
If someone's ready to give you 1 million pounds tomorrow at 5 AM, you'll probably be there at 4:30 AM… There's no such thing as procrastination, whatever it might be it's not important to you. It's not a priority for you.
The same applied to motivation. To start a business, going to the gym, relationships, eating healthy… Motivation comes and goes, discipline and habits don't. And for all the above things you may want to start, improve and thrive for you'll find a large number of obstacles along the way.
We are living a strange time but history shows there has been times like this before and even worse… way worse. Here is a good story to put things in perspective.
There is an old Zen story about a King whose people had grown "soft" and entitled.
(Any resemblance to a country called France is purely coincidental…) Dissatisfied with this state of affairs, he hoped to teach them a lesson.
His plan was simple: He would place a large boulder in the middle of the main road, completely blocking entry into the city. He would then hide nearby and observe their reactions.
How would they respond?
Would they band together to remove it?
Or would they get discouraged, quit, and return home?
With growing disappointment, the King watched as subject after subject came to this impediment and turned away. Or, at best, tried halfheartedly before giving up. Many openly complained or cursed the King or fortune or bemoaned the inconvenience, but none managed to do anything about it.
After several days, a lone peasant came along on his way into town. He did not turn away. Instead he strained and strained, trying to push it out of the way. Then an idea came to him: He scrambled into the nearby woods to find something he could use for leverage. Finally, he returned with a large branch he had crafted into a lever and deployed it to dislodge the massive rock from the road.
Beneath the rock was a purse of gold coins and a note from the King, which said: "The obstacle in the path becomes the path. Never forget, within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition."
Holiday, Ryan. The Obstacle is the Way (this story comes from this book, my favourite)
So here is my conclusion on that :
Where the head goes, the body follows. Perception precedes action. Right action follows the right perspective.
