Training the new cybersecurity workforce
By Andrew Wagner, Government Matters
Published 11:30 PM, November 14, 2019
Ron Marks, president of ZPN National Security and Cyber Strategies, discusses a new bill to help build up the government's cyber talent, and the challenges in creating a career path for cybersecurity.
The government's cybersecurity workforce needs a boost to maintain the pace needed for to stay on top of future tech challenges. The bipartisan HACKED act introduced to Congress aims to improve worker training for cybersecurity professionals in government and create clear career paths. Ron Marks, president of ZPN National Security and Cyber Strategies, says that the bill is potentially a solution to a growing issue.
"The pool of people available to do this is still growing. People forget we are asking people to look at some very complex matters and the educational pool which they're drawing from universities. It has only switched over in the last 4 or 5 years." Marks said. "I have been working with Auburn, and Hopkins and others. To them cyber is still an engineering problem. In government, it may be an engineering problem, but it is a management problem. It is not a management problem of people managing directly those involved in this, it is a problem of senior people trying to figure out 'if I'm spending 'x' amount of money, what am I getting for it?' Anything that helps in that direction is appreciated."

An Amazing and Prolific Urban Homestead (MOTHER EARTH NEWS)

An Amazing and Prolific Urban Homestead
The common conception of homesteading is that it's a rural activity. But one man in Pasadena, CA and his adult children have created a wildly successful urban homestead on one-tenth of an acre.
February/March 2009
By Jules Dervaes
With perseverance and ingenuity, Jules Dervaes created his urban homestead, an oasis in the middle of urban Pasadena, CA.
Looking back at 1965, the year I entered college, I hardly recognize myself! At 18 I was headed — like everyone I knew — for life in the professional world. My dad was providing for our family by working for Chevron as a district manager of central Florida. For me, class valedictorian at Tampa's Jesuit High School, the die had been cast to make my living by wearing a white collar. Working at manual labor was never a possibility, never even imagined. Now I live on an urban homestead.
But I'm getting ahead of my story. Marriage in 1970 brought new responsibilities and a sense of urgency regarding the need to consider the long-term future — for years I felt inadequate in handling all of life's daily requirements, let alone emergencies. I admired people who were able to build or fix things and longed to be as rugged as those who started from scratch by settling new lands.
Intoxicated with the changes of the '60s and '70s, some of my generation found peace in the back-to-the-land movement. Others went further, making an exodus from the nation. The convergence of these happenings signaled that it was time; I knew I had to go away. I wanted to live as simply as possible, in harmony with nature, in touch with my basic needs for food, water and shelter. In the aftermath of the Vietnam War, I was looking for "old world" stability and a place where family values were still unchanged.
It was 1973 when my wife and I immigrated to a land less traveled, New Zealand was to become for me a new birthplace. I arrived there ready to begin living off the land, taking with me a briefcase packed with the first 13 issues of MOTHER EARTH NEWS magazine.
The isolated ruggedness of an abandoned gold town (population one, the addition of my wife and me tripling it to three) became the setting of a daily struggle to learn to live a new way. Embarrassed, I felt like a child having to go through — at 26 — the ordeals of growing up. But I soon learned about vegetable gardening, raising farm animals, drinking iron-oxide rainwater, cooking on a woodstove, and using a bucket toilet — among other backwoods scholarship — and ultimately, this "funny" American successfully homesteaded.
By taking one small step after another, I overcame the paralysis of my city-boy-lost-in-the-woods state of mind. In a sweet stroke of fortune, a kind old-timer passed along his beekeeping know-how and handmade equipment to me. Running a one-man bush-honey operation was a lowly genesis; but it was the first time that I had ever felt productive with my hands. I was loving it!
Homesteading in the City
The next 15 years saw a whirlwind of changes: a return to Florida following the birth of our first child, to be closer to our extended families; living on 10 acres; a new business of lawn maintenance; the rearing of home-schooled children; a move to Pasadena, CA; the purchase of a fixer-upper house; the loss of a job; a divorce. Because my plans had failed, I was yearning to go "home" to the land again.
While I was dreaming of moving back to the country somewhere, reality intervened. In the early '90s, Southern California experienced a drought so severe that water rates were increased for higher usage. Not wanting to pay extra for the green illusion that was my front lawn, I smothered it with a six-inch layer of mulch. The water-guzzling grass was replaced with wildflowers and herbs and — as I got smarter — with edible, Dervaes-style landscaping. This drastic step, driven by frugality, became a major factor in turning my ordinary home into an extraordinary homestead.
Then, in the fall of 2000, I reacted angrily upon hearing that U.S. biotech corporations were bent on introducing GMOs into the food supply. Believing I had to do whatever it took to protect my family from this mad experiment, I determined to get food security the old-fashioned way — by growing my own food. My three young-adult children, Anaïs, Justin, and Jordanne, all enlisted in the challenge. My yard, as I saw it, had now become our Alamo. Resolving to plant my way to independence, I had the anger and the stubbornness. However, there was one thing I thought I did not have: the land.
How much food could be grown on a lot 66-feet-by-132-feet? That was one-fifth of an acre. Was it possible to farm in the middle of Pasadena? Excluding the space required for our residence, cultivatable "acreage" was about one-tenth of an acre. Could that sliver of land produce enough for my family to eat well? The plan of setting up an urban homestead meant living the farm life without the farm land. At the start, I could not help but think this was crazy; but I knew we could do something — plant, plant and plant some more.
It came as a complete shock when the harvest tally for the first year of gardening for a livelihood was 2,300 pounds. Yet, I knew we could do more; for we had only scratched the surface of our anemic, worm-challenged soil. On a budget, I looked for cheap ways to enrich the beige-colored dirt, getting free straw, tree trimmings and horse manure. In time, our pet "composters" (chickens, ducks, rabbits and goats) kicked in, turning our waste greens into instant fertilizer — well, almost. With the completion of this natural cycle, our homestead was officially off and running.
My gardening methods — an eclectic mix developed over decades — stemmed from my father's old-fashioned practice of letting nature have its way. He was a caretaker, nurturing his yard to create a lush, semi-tropical jungle, without any pesticide, herbicide, or commercial fertilizer. His scheme was to never discard any organic matter whatsoever. What I learned from my dad was that there was no such thing as "yard waste." Before I ever heard the term, I automatically knew composting was integral to the growing cycle.
One basic practice used in the slow transformation from sterile property to fertile oasis was experimentation. I couldn't find the answers I was looking for in books or on the Web. This project was new territory, and came down to classic trial and error. Redos became an annual ritual, giving me the chance to get back on my horse — and I did, sore and frustrated but unbowed.
Since expansion on the ground level wasn't possible, I reached skyward, constructing trellises to go up and arbors to go over. In all sorts of containers and, mostly, in backyard raised beds, I serially planted, taking advantage of our year-round growing season. It became an obsession not to waste the tiniest of spaces, so seeds were sown closer together. We blended tall plants with low-growing species. By fanatically planting every square inch, high and low, the harvests increased yearly, reaching an annual yield of over 6,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables on just one-tenth of an acre of land.
With my son Justin's passion for growing heirloom tomatoes and other uncommon plant varieties, our homestead was overflowing with fresh, organic, premium produce. Our urban setting was crowded with customers seeking the same. So, we found a profitable match in local high-end restaurants and caterers. My dream of living off the land had come tantalizingly close to fruition, but not in the way I had planned. Whereas smallness for a traditional farm would have been a liability, the twist for my micro-farm was that it fit in the city, next door to small, trendy markets. What we couldn't directly grow ourselves, we could indirectly obtain with income from sales of our produce, achieving a combined self-sufficiency.
Striking a blow for greater freedom, I fought against our electricity usage on several fronts. From the usual steps of installing CFLs and buying only energy-efficient appliances to the more radical step of foregoing small electrical kitchen appliances altogether, we reduced our average daily usage to about 6 kWh. By installing a 2 kW solar power system in 2003, we could produce about two-thirds of our needs. With the balance supplied by the city from a wind farm, all our electricity came from green power.
I addressed the transportation problem by owning only one used car (1988 diesel Suburban) for a family of four adults, cutting back on the number of trips made (under 4,000 miles annually), and homebrewing our own biodiesel fuel from waste vegetable oil. Regarding alternative fuel, I always believed that this was a Band-Aid solution for the short term. Our walking or biking to places locally was really the way to secure a sustainable future.
What was (and always will be) our greatest challenge was the availability of water in a semi-arid region. We hand watered and practiced other water conservation methods, including mulching, forest (or jungle) plantings and using self-watering containers. We utilized some graywater, with plans to reclaim more. Harvesting rainwater wasn't a priority; we have an average annual rainfall of only 19 inches, almost all occurring within a four-month period in winter. Praying for rain was the best solution.
A One-Trowel Revolution
In 2001, when I began this 21st century fight for independence, my family also started an impromptu journal online to document our successes and failures, in hopes of encouraging others to start their own journeys. What began as a few entries and pictures each week quickly mushroomed: Path to Freedom is the original and most comprehensive urban homestead Web site, getting thousands of visitors each month from around the world.
To earn the extra income needed to support this rapidly growing worldwide outreach, in 2006 I launched an online store, Urban Homestead Supply, to sell the green products we use on our homestead. Our e-wagon carries select practical goods and useful tools for eco-pioneers seeking to build a sustainable future.
Throughout my homesteading endeavors, I realized the need for the interdependence developed in community. Because today's friends and neighbors increasingly engage online, I (at my daughters' urging) began Freedom Gardens. This social networking site, run by Anaïs and Jordanne, connects gardeners from around the world, enabling them to share tips about plant selection, soil and pest problems, as well as climate issues.
Eight years ago, Path to Freedom was a family project I began right in my back yard in a struggle to live free. With this vision, I set out on a solitary journey. With a mission to develop the intellect, ability and fortitude necessary to take care of my family, I made one small step. Using the Path to Freedom homestead to show what can be done with one's hands, I invited others along via the Internet. In these anxious times, people are discovering that, to survive, they must become free. At its inception a mere spark, Path to Freedom has lit a sweeping, homegrown revolution.
Today, at 61, I am a diehard homesteader turned urban revolutionary. The world today — and, tragically, my children's inheritance — offers more violence while bearing graver threats. Each day, living selfishly beyond our means, we walk dangerously along the precipice of cataclysmic global warming. Why not take a different path? The way to survival is through working in our earth, and the tool of salvation is a trowel. I brandish it now in the cause of a one-trowel revolution.

I have to say first that I love that my first relay was close to home.
That being said I will share my experience.
On Friday morning my wonderful hubby and kids took me to meet my team. My team of 4 other women and 1 man. I say MEET because we were not only meeting for the race but for the first time ever!
At first I thought maybe I would prefer to run with friends but it didn't work that way. In the end I am glad it did not.
We hit it off right away. Laughing, joking and we had not even been sleep deprived yet.
Here we are before the race. Before meeting the other 6 members of our team that we had not met either. Yep we roll like that.
I ran 3 legs in the race. 14+ miles.
gotta have a bathroom shot in your SwirlGear.
Nightime is upon us and things are about to get CRA CRA!!!
The other half of our team got stuck in the rain and mud. Not sure I would left him back in the ride.
Don't you wear glow in the dark earrings?
We managed about 2 hours sleep on the concrete.
Second leg done. I actually finished in the middle of the night.
Our team leader brought us doughnuts in the early morning. We offered them to the competition that was passing us.
At the start of the last leg. Almost done!!!
Done! Medal in hand! Feeling great!
They had a slip and slide. I told hubby um no thanks I am not getting my phone wet.
This is one of the most beautiful races I have ever done. It does not get much better than Zion national Park.
So in the end. I made new friends for life. These 5 people have bonded.So glad to have met them. So glad for the support and cheerleading.
Until next year right team?

Sanskrit is best language for Computer, but why?
In the early 1900s, analytic philosophers such as Russell and initially Wittgenstein too, tried to develop artificial languages, which, unlike ordinary language, would provide them with a more logical grammar, and words with unambiguous meanings. Language was a major preoccupation for later analytic philosophers such as Austin too, although he felt ordinary language itself would serve the purpose of the philosopher.
About generative grammar, linguist Noam Chomsky said that grammar books do not show how to generate even simple sentences, without depending on the implicit knowledge of the speaker. He said this is true even of grammars of "great scope" like Jespersen's 'A Modern English Grammar on Historical Principles'. There is some "unconscious knowledge" that makes it possible for a speaker to "use his language". This unconscious knowledge is what generative grammar must render explicit. Chomsky said there were classical precedents for generative grammar, Panini's grammar being the "most famous and important case".
There is at least one language, Sanskrit, which for the duration of almost 1,000 years was a living spoken language with a considerable literature of its own. Besides works of literary value, there was a long philosophical and grammatical tradition that has continued to exist with undiminished vigor until the present century. Among the accomplishments of the grammarians can be reckoned a method for paraphrasing Sanskrit in a manner that is identical not only in essence but in form with current work in Artificial Intelligence.
Sanskrit is one language in a tree-like structure of languages with Proto-Indoeuropean at its root. Like many of its sister languages, it features an extense system of verb conjugation that encodes person, time, mood, etc. It also has a rich declension for nouns indicating their relationship to each other in sentences. These two features mean that the Sanskrit relies less on word order than English or Chinese, for example. Sanskrit is not unique, as these characteristics are shared by Russian, Latin and Greek.
Sanskrit has a long written and oral tradition. Panini's codification of Sanskrit has conferred scholars unprecedented knowledge of its inner workings. His works illustrate meticulously how an unlimited number of things can be expressed in Sanskrit. However, the claim that a natural language, however well documented its grammar may be, is more fit for use that another in AI sounds highly suspect. A meticulouly defined grammar does not absolve Sanskrit from any potential ambiguities that can arise in expression. Ask people who read Sanskrit prose to tell you about the challenge that it can be to tease out the meaning in those beautiful and rich verses. Furthermore, a fundamental nature of every natural language is its ability to express virtually every thought possible.
The idea of logic in languages is part of a bigger debate in linguistics about the role language has in shaping human thought. The Sapir-Whorf theory proposed that language directly constrains what thoughts humans can conceive. Most linguists seem to have softened their stance to believe that it only affects one's thoughts somewhat.
So, Sanskrit is best language for computer because natural language processing can be done faster in it. The program can be executed fromtwosidesmeansmeaningofsentencedoesnotchangeinsanskritwhenchangingthewordstobe executed.


Shoe Collection: Color-Blocked Peep Toe Heels from So Fab!
Like what I said in my previous posts, window shopping most of the time become an actual shopping. It may not happen on the same day, but once that particular item haunts your mind, it will turn out to be a real buy. It took me around three days to decide, (I am doing this habit to avoid impulsive purchase of items above P1000.00) but this shoes still got to me. Shoes are really my biggest weakness haha!
I bought this pair of peep toe heels from So Fab! Shangri-la Mall. I was just looking around for new items from the shops I frequently visit on the 5th floor when I saw this on display and I got attracted to the three-tone color-blocked design. I really like the shades of pink and blue that they used here and I know I can use this numerous times given that I have lots of clothes that would match it. My next post will show you one outfit that I wore along with this pair.
By the way, I am generally not comfortable wearing peep toe heels (my feet easily hurts when I do) so when I wore this to an event that I will tell you on my next post, I ended up using slippers eventually. This is also my first So Fab! pair so I cannot say if their heels are all "tiis-ganda" ones. Care to share your thoughts regarding their line of high-heeled shoes/sandals? I'm really interested to find out so feel free to leave comments to answer my inquiry. Have a nice day everyone!
i like tis style of peep toe shoes..nice!!
nice colour combination with high heels..!!
hi there!thanks for visiting.i'll check the site you posted. good day!

Q: Check java version without java -version I get the following error while trying to compile or run everything that has to do with java or javac:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/ClassNotFoundException: error in opening JAR file <Zip file open error> /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/jre/lib/rt.jar

I've read here that i should uninstall and install again JDK, here it is written that I should know which version of java I have installed on my pc in order to uninstall-it.
To check the version installed i run java -version but i get the error mentioned above, how can i check my java version without that command?
I know that i have installed java 8 but i don't know precisely which version it is.

A: To show what version of Java is installed without running java -version, open the terminal and type:
apt policy openjdk-* oracle-java*

A small part of the results of apt policy openjdk-* looks like this:
openjdk-7-jre-lib:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:
openjdk-8-jdk:
  Installed: 8u162-b12-0ubuntu0.16.04.2
  Candidate: 8u162-b12-0ubuntu0.16.04.2

Search for sections that contain either openjdk-*-jre , openjdk-*-jdk or oracle-java* where the wildcard * character can be a Java version number like 6, 7, 8 or 9.

A: You can discover the full path of the default java executable with:
readlink -f "$(which java)"

All (sane) Java packages or bundles that I know use installation path names that include the vendor name and major version number which would answer your question. E. g. on my system
$ readlink -f "$(which java)"
/usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/bin/java

tells me that the default Java installation is OpenJDK 9.

A: You could also try:
dpkg -l | egrep -i 'jre|java|jdk'

A: You can use this command for checking your java version:
update-alternatives --config java

[15] In October 2012, they released an original Christmas song: "Baby Boy"; it reached No. Our producer overheard our conversation and swung around in his chair and said, 'What about For King & Country?' The territorial concept of "country" is interestingly distinct both from the term "nation" in whose name the French were to dispose of their own King, and even more from that which was to so profoundly stir their German neighbors, "Volk": a quasi-metaphysical concept associated with Blut rather than Boden, blood rather than soil, and one of which the English word "People" can give only a misleading and inadequate impression. n the King Country an area in the centre of North Island, New Zealand: home of the King Movement, a nineteenth-century Māori separatist movement.

For Christians the justification for killing, and if necessary dying, in combat with such an adversary seemed self-evident. Then, all political authority was seen as being ultimately derived from God, from whom it devolved through a pyramid of authorities, all of whom claimed by derivation to act as His agents; a claim ratified by the sanction of a universal Church.

My name is Warren Metzler, and I am a physician who focuses on providing well-being. Well-being is, from my perspective, a state of being, it is not a possession. When a person experiences well-being she is content with all of her life, she is her own person, she has no major limitations (inner discomforts or external situations that restrict her), and she eventually achieves all the major endeavors she begins.
To find out more details about what is well-being and how I operate please read my Brochure which is accessed above by clicking the "Brochure" link.
Also, there soon will be a number of articles about various aspects of well-being in the "Reference Material" section.

Signy-Montlibert est une commune française, située dans le département des Ardennes en région Grand Est.

Géographie

La commune se compose de deux villages distincts éloignés d'environ . Le territoire est très vallonné et le point culminant atteint . L'église se trouve dans la partie Signy où il existe aussi la ferme de Vaux-lès-Moines.
Autrefois, on a exploité du minerai de fer dans le village.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Signy-Montlibert est une commune rurale. Elle fait en effet partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.
La commune est en outre hors attraction des villes.

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (89,6 % en 2018), une proportion identique à celle de 1990 (89,6 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
prairies (64,8 %), terres arables (24,8 %), forêts (10,4 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Histoire
Signy-Montlibert a fait partie du comté de Chiny et du duché de Luxembourg et a suivi la destinée de la prévôté d'Yvois (Carignan) à laquelle le village a appartenu.

La partie Signy est sans doute d'origine gallo-romaine. Au , l'abbaye Saint-Ouen de Rouen a acquis des biens dans la région et elle y a fondé un petit établissement religieux devenu prieuré de Vaux-lès-Moines. En 876, les reliques de saint Ouen sont mises à l'abri à Vaux à cause des invasions normandes.

En 1244, Vaux apparaît dans les biens de l'abbaye Saint-Ouen. À cette époque, le comte de Chiny est l'avoué (protecteur) du prieuré. Les revenus de l'établissement sont partagés entre les religieux et le comte.

Signy et Montlibert sont mis à la loi de Beaumont en 1272 par le comte Louis V de Chiny.

En 1526, Gilles de Sapogne, capitaine et prévôt d'Yvois, est constitué séquestrateur de Vaux par le Conseil de Luxembourg.

En 1583, il est décidé d'incorporer le prieuré de Vaux au Collège jésuite de Luxembourg. Il est transformé en ferme exploitée par les jésuites pour les besoins du collège, jusqu'à la suppression de la Compagnie de Jésus.

En 1789, Nicolas Wallet, curé de Signy-Montlibert, est choisi comme suppléant de Jean Fleury, curé d'Iges, pour représenter le clergé du Sedanais aux États généraux.

Au début du , la ferme de Vaux-lès-Moines devient possession de l'hospice de Sedan.

De 1935 à 1938, l'ouvrage Maginot du Chesnois (six blocs dont un avec tourelle de ) est construit en partie sur la commune de Signy-Montlibert. À Montlibert, on édifie un casernement de sûreté léger. Pendant l'occupation, les Allemands construisent une station radar dans le bois du Chênois.

The new Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment report, "Climate Change 2007," a synthesis of global climate change studies conducted by the world's leading climate scientists, provides the most authoritative and sobering depiction of the state of the planet in regards to global warming and its implications for the future. Four researchers from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego took part in drafting the assessment.
A summary of the report written for policymakers was released at a press conference in Paris on Feb. 2. Scripps held a corresponding press conference at Birch Aquarium at Scripps in La Jolla, Calif., on the same day.
The summary concluded that most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the middle of the 20th century is very likely due to the rise in human-produced greenhouse gas concentrations. The scientists estimated that air temperatures will rise by the end of the century by between 3.2 and 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit.
"Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, as is now evident from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global mean sea level," said the summary's authors, among them Scripps climate scientist Richard Somerville. "Continued greenhouse gas emissions at or above current rates would cause further warming and induce many changes in the global climate system during the 21st century that would very likely be larger than those observed during the 20th century."
News coverage of the release of the summary report reached around the world. European cities displayed their concern of climate change and its impacts with public displays at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Colosseum in Rome, and the Greek parliament in Athens.
"Feb. 2, 2007 may go down in history as the day the question mark was removed from the question of whether climate change has anything to do with human activities," said Achim Steiner, head of the U.N. Environment Programme.
The new assessment report, described as a "comprehensive and rigorous picture of the global present state of knowledge of climate change," is the first volume of the fourth installment of IPCC studies. Six years in the making, the assessment involved thousands of scientists from more than 130 countries. The first phase of "Climate Change 2007" assesses the current scientific knowledge of the natural and human drivers of climate change, observed changes in climate, the ability of science to attribute changes to different causes, and projections for future climate change.
"The significance of the IPCC report is that it will be the definitive assessment of the science of climate change, designed to be policy-relevant but not policy-driven or policy-prescriptive," said Somerville, a distinguished professor at Scripps Oceanography. "These IPCC reports come out at five- to six-year intervals. This one, like the 2001 report, will doubtless be regarded as the gold standard."
Somerville is a coordinating lead author of the fourth IPCC report. Other Scripps involvement includes Professor Lynne Talley, who was a lead author of the chapter "Observations: Oceanic Climate Change and Sea Level," and Professor V. Ramanathan, who served as a review editor. Nobel Laureate and Scripps and UC San Diego Professor Mario Molina also contributed to the report. Many others at Scripps served in various capacities during the report's development.
At the Scripps conference, Ramanathan and Talley joined Scripps Director Tony Haymet and climate researchers Dan Cayan, Ralph Keeling, and Tim Barnett in relating the IPCC summary's findings to work taking place at Scripps. Cayan said the international panel's conclusions confirm aspects of his own work studying climate impacts on California.
"The alarming thing is this is just a taste of things to come," Cayan said. "Snowpack in the Sierra Nevada, which has been part of our water management strategy, is going to take a hit."
The World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme launched the IPCC in 1988 in recognition of the looming environmental problems that are associated with global climate change.
Like the new assessment, the preceding three reports, released in 1990, 1995, and 2001, evaluated the state of climate change research and most recent discoveries. The second IPCC assessment report, for example, provided a new framework for understanding humanity's influence on climate when it concluded "the balance of evidence suggests a discernable human influence on global climate." A sterner statement emerged from the 2001 report: "There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities."
The new assessment is expected to have an even larger impact due to a recent rise in attention to global warming studies and their implications. The new awareness has been augmented by recent record-setting annual temperatures, evidence of warming through glacial melting and rising ocean temperatures, and through increased attention via the news media and outlets such as former Vice President Al Gore's 2006 documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."
The new report is being released in three phases, with the Feb. 2 installment covering the "Physical Science Basis" from Working Group I. Working Group II will cover "Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability" and Working Group III's results cover the "Mitigation of Climate Change." The full report, including 11 chapters and a technical summary, is expected to be available by November.

NEM Foundation Calls Off Chase for Stolen Coins from $530 Million Coincheck Hack

Author: Josiah Wilmoth @Y3llowb1ackbird
The NEM Foundation has called off the hunt for the more than 500 million XEM tokens stolen in connection with a record-setting theft at cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck, as cybersecurity experts believe most or all of the funds have been laundered by the hackers.
In a statement dated March 19, the NEM Foundation disclosed that it had disabled the tracking mosaic that had been assigned to the hacker's accounts in February to help law enforcement and the NEM community to track the funds — worth $530 million at the time of the hack — and prevent them from being laundered through reputable trading platforms.
From the statement:
"Beginning March 18, the NEM.io Foundation has disabled the tracking mosaic that was put into place to monitor XEM movements from the Coincheck theft. This effort was effective at reducing the hacker's ability to liquidate stolen XEM and provided law enforcement with actionable information. We don't plan to release further details due to the sensitive nature of this investigation."
Earlier this month, CCN reported that that the hackers had laundered at least 40 percent of the stolen funds, primarily through dark web channels, and that the coins had ended up at exchanges Japan, Canada, and China.
However, money launderers quickened their past over the past several weeks, and on Thursday, Japanese public broadcaster NHK World reported that all of the stolen XEM appear to have been transferred out of hacker-owned accounts. This likely indicates that the hackers have completed laundering the funds.
It is unclear whether NEM's mosaic tracking system succeeded in helping law enforcement seize any of the stolen funds, and the Foundation said that it will not discuss the matter due to the "sensitive nature" of the continuing investigation.
Two months have passed since the theft, but the individual or group behind hack still remains a mystery. South Korean intelligence officials have reportedly identified parallels between the attack's methodology and hacks attributed to North Korea's government, but no perpetrator has been formally accused by law enforcement.

Once it is established that you will be benefited by our services, we will forward your call to the physiotherapist who will call you to fix an appointment to visit at your place.
This is basically an assessment visit in which the physiotherapist will do a complete physical examination of the patient along with taking the case history and discussing the treatment plan and likely outcomes of the physiotherapy treatment.
Individualized treatment plan will be formulated with expected time of treatment, tentative number of physiotherapy sittings and the further cost of the treatment.
After the first physiotherapy session, you will become the part of PhysioPort's family and a unique patient URL will be mailed to you. This will include the details of your assessment as well as your identification data. Whatever treatment you will be receiving thereafter will be updated weekly. So that you always have access to the on-line treatment prescription.
Your physiotherapy treatment plans will be reviewed by the visiting physiotherapist according to the response to the treatment. On weekly and biweekly basis and discharge from physiotherapy treatment or further referral will be advised as per he requirement.
These subsequent visits sometimes requires the use of modalities or physiotherapy equipments. The options for these modalities will also be discussed.
If you are referred by an expert Orthopedics, Neurologist or any other specialist doctor then we can skip the initial assessment visit and can directly start the treatment according to the prescription of the doctor. In these case it is must to have your treatment records with you when the physiotherapist will be visiting your place.
If required, the concerned physiotherapist will talk to your doctor, on phone, to get further information regarding the plan of care and special precautions. This is mostly required in post- surgical cases that requires specific treatment protocols.
An advance management system is used for the patients and clients. This will help them to view their treatment records just on the click of a button. Clients will be able to see their treatment records, able to give feedback, check payment details.

I received this beauty via UPS yesterday from Leonidam in Venice. The model is called the "Juggernaut" and I had a 2-band 26mm fan knot with gel tips installed.
Really has an awesome feel in the hand. Can't wait to give it a go.
For those interested in checking out Leonidam, Davide has a store on Etsy. He is due to add new brushes fairly soon I think.
That's a beauty of a brush! That handle is stunning.
That is a beautiful brush. I was not familiar with this artisan. Thank you for bringing him to our attention.
Beautiful brush. Thanks for sharing. Nice to see an Europe based artisan.
Thanks for sharing. I also had not heard of the maker. Looks like a very nice handle and knot.
He has a couple of resin brushes available.
Beautiful! Please let us know how it works out!

I second the praise for these brushes. I got the below a few weeks ago and it's great. Mine is an "oblivion" handle with a two band gel tip knot—which is very nice—very soft, good backbone, and nice flow through.
I must also commend him on his excellent communication and attention to detail. Really the experience you should get when buying high end items like these. I have attached a picture of the box because it certainly worth mentioning and the best I've seen yet from any brush maker, large or small. For me, packaging and presentation matter.
Also I got the brush stateside at my door in something like 4 days.
I just had my first run with my brush tonight and, wow, what a power combo of incredible handle and luxurious knot. Handle is so incredibly comfortable in the hand.
I baptized it with some Ariana & Evans Asian Plum and was very impressed by how fast the lather was built. Even though it's a dense knot, I agree with @Manning on the flow through. Not a lather hog in the least.
Overall, exceptional shaving experience. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.
Last Saturday, I have bought a shaving brush called "Venator" during the latest release from Venice based artisan Leonidam on Etsy.
Today the brush arrived with UPS in Copenhagen. Venator, which means hunter in latin, features a 2-piece Handle made of Zebrano wood with a ferrule of resin. I went with a 28 mm fan shaped 2-Band HD knot with Gel Tips.
Here some pictures of the brush during unboxing and a first hand lather with Saponificio Varesino 70th after cleaning the knot.
How do his "HD Gel tips" feel? How's the knot density? Handle is beautiful.

I have just hand lathered this brush. Knot is packed quite dense. Gel tips become extremy soft when brush is wet. When dry, the tips are stiff, amost hard.
Spontanious, this knot reminds me to Shavenac Unique knots and the knots used in Saponificio Varesino brushes.
Well I don't need another brush...but I do want one of these. Thanks for the info, I'm following this vendor, I'm sure at some point I'll see something that says "buy me"!
