The Australian Border Deaths Database maintains a record of all known deaths associated with Australia's borders since 1 January 2000. Currently the database contains summary details of 2,026 deaths.
The database was established by Professor Sharon Pickering and Associate Professor Leanne Weber as part of BOb's Deaths at the Global Frontier project, which culminated in 2011 in the publication of the book Globalization and Borders: Death at the Global Frontier.
An explanation of the scope and limitations of the data is available here.
SBS has developed a visual representation of the Australian Border Deaths Database data, which you can access on their website. The infographic only contains data up to the beginning of 2015.
The database can also be made available as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet upon request. Contact us at bcrossingobservatory@gmail.com to obtain the latest version.
You can check out our latest available Annual Report on border-related deaths.
If you would like to report a border death to us please email bcrossingobservatory@gmail.com
If you know anyone who has gone missing while travelling to Australia, the Red Cross Find my Family Tracing Service can help.

Logs Still Tough To Decipher, SANS Survey Says
More organizations employ log management and SIEM tools, but are still struggling to sort the bad traffic from the good
More organizations are using log event management and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) products, but they are struggling to distinguish between suspicious and normal traffic, according to the SANS 8th Annual Log Management Survey.
Some 58 percent of organizations surveyed by SANS employ a log management tool for gathering and analyzing logs, and 37 percent are running a SIEM. Around 22 percent say they collect logs and then process them with a SIEM, according to the survey of 600 IT professionals, which was sponsored by HP Enterprise Security, LogLogic, LogRhythm, Sensage, Splunk, Tripwire, and Trustwave.
"The data suggest that respondents are having difficulty separating normal traffic from suspicious traffic," said Jerry Shenk, author of the SANS report. "They need advanced correlation and analysis capabilities to shut out the noise and get the actionable information they need. But first they need to get more familiar with their logs and baseline what is normal."
Interestingly, some 22 percent of the respondents say they have "little or no" automation for their logging and analysis, with no plans to remedy that. "The most common reasons given for not automating include lack of time and money ... resources that are closely intertwined. Respondents cited two additional reasons: the lack of management buy-in and insufficient time to evaluate the options available in different SIEM and log management products," according to the SANS report.
More than 80 percent say they collect logs mainly to look out for attacks, while 65 percent say they do so for forensic analysis and correlation, and 58 percent for preventing security incidents. Also important for logging is to help detect advanced threats, according to 54 percent of the respondents, and for meeting compliance (55 percent).
They are gathering logs mainly from Windows servers, which account for about 85 percent of the respondents, followed by security devices (more than 80 percent), networking devices (nearly 80 percent), and networking and security systems (around 70 percent). There were some other less-obvious devices being logged as well: "Some of the new items included 'Control systems for physical plant/operations' with eight percent, 'Access controls for physical plant' with 17 percent, and 'Cloud-based or outsourced services/applications' with eight percent," according to the report.
How much time do organizations spend analyzing logs? Some 35 percent spend "none to a few hours a week," the survey found.

re: Logs Still Tough To Decipher, SANS Survey Says
So most organizations either don't own a Log Manager / SIEM or for those that do, they can't run it to it's full potential. Why ? because they're too complicated, time consuming & expensive. But thankfully there are solutions out there that aren't like Secnology.

Q: IE10, IFrame : some of the cookies are not sent. P3P? I am prototyping a hosted MS Dynamics CRM based application and have some issue with the cookie based federated authentication and IE10. What I wanna achieve is how FB/Google auth works: I open a window, the user authenticates on the MSPortal then after closing the auth window the custom site communicates over IFrames and postMessages protocol. This works for all browsers but IE10 and possible IE9 clients. When opening the iframe after authentication IE10 does not send all cookies back (although does send some). Namely it is not sending the MSISAuth and MSISAuth2 cookes.
I have run into articles about P3P but at this point I am not sure if it is a P3P question at all, since 2 of the 4 cookies are actually sent.

In inglese talora viene chiamato poco giustificatamente Raymond de Montmort.

Biografia
Indirizzato dal padre, cominciò a dedicarsi agli studi di diritto, per i quali si rese conto rapidamente di avere ben poco interesse. Successivamente fu in grado di viaggiare abbastanza lungamente in Inghilterra e in Germania, tornando in Francia nel 1699. Si dedicò allora allo studio della filosofia, avendo come insegnante privato il reverendo Nicolas Malebranche. Questi lo avviò anche allo studio della fisica di Cartesio e, successivamente, egli proseguì in studi scientifici accostando in particolare l'algebra e la geometria e recandosi ancora all'estero.

Tornato in Francia nel 1699, venne in possesso della cospicua eredità paterna e questo gli consentì di acquistare una tenuta a Montmort in Borgogna e di aggiungere al suo nome il titolo di de Montmort.

Trascorse poi il resto della sua vita quasi esclusivamente nel suo castello di Montmort occupandosi dei suoi studi scientifici, tenendosi in corrispondenza con molti scienziati di primo piano del suo tempo e riuscendo varie volte ad ospitarli, come accadde con Nicolaus I Bernoulli e Brook Taylor.

Nel 1708 pubblicò a Parigi la sua opera più famosa, Essay d'analyse sur les jeux de hazard, una raccolta di problemi sulle differenze finite e sulle probabilità derivanti da uno studio piuttosto sistematico dei giochi d'azzardo, in buona parte sviluppati con Nicolaus Bernoulli; questa opera ha contribuito a evidenziare i contenuti matematici della tematica dei giochi. Alla prima edizione fece seguito nel 1713 un'edizione rivista e ampliata, contenente l'intera corrispondenza avuta con Jakob e Nicolaus Bernoulli.

Nel 1713 trovò un'espressione per la somma di n addendi della forma

 ;

questo risultato sembra essere stato ottenuto indipendentemente da Christian Goldbach nel 1718.

Nel 1715 fu eletto membro della Royal Society, nonostante l'aspra polemica fra scienziati inglesi e continentali riguardante la controversia sui meriti di Newton e Leibniz nei confronti della fondazione del calcolo infinitesimale. Nel 1716 fu eletto nella Académie Royale des Sciences.

Montmort fu in corrispondenza anche con John Craig, Edmund Halley, Jakob Hermann e Giovanni Poleni.

Designer and sculptor Tapio Wirkkala was born in Hanko, Finland in 1915. During the 1920s, he moved with his family to Helsinki, where he went on to study ornamental sculpture at the Central School of Arts and Crafts from 1933 to 1936. Best known for furniture and glassware pieces, his output was prolific—he designed sculptural wooden bowls, plywood objects, silver pieces (most notably for Christofle), exhibition pavilions (including the Finnish installations at the 1951 and 1954 Milan Triennales, for which he earned the Grand Prix on both occasions), and everyday items such as banknotes and cutlery. During his career, Wirkkala also designed glass for and porcelain for Rosenthal. His earlier designs embraced the utilitarian beauty of Finnish Functionalism, but from the 1950s drew inspiration from natural forms.
In 1946, Wirkkala entered a glass design competition organized by Iittala, and shared first prize with Kaj Franck. In 1947, he became the artistic director of Finnish glass factory Iittala Glassworks; his relationship with the company would continue throughout his lifetime. Between 1955 and 1956, Wirkkala worked for industrial designer Raymond Loewy in New York. In 1956, he became artistic director of A-Studio, the design studio of A. Ahlström in Helsinki. In 1966, he established his own studio, Design Tapio Wirkkala.
Wirkkala's work has been exhibited broadly and is included in esteemed collections around the world, including the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, both New York; Victoria & Albert Museum, London; Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, Munich; the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm; the Royal Museum, Edinburgh; and the Corning Museum of Glass, in Corning, New York.
Wirkkala passed away in Helsinki in 1985.
German porcelain manufactory Rosenthal was originally founded as a ceramics-painting studio by Philipp Rosenthal Sr. (1855-1937) in 1879 at Schloss Erkersreuth in Bavaria, near the Czech border. Its first highly popular product was an ashtray inscribed with the words "Resting place for lit cigars." In 1890, the company moved to the neighboring hamlet of Selb and, a year later, began to manufacture its own porcelain, since white porcelain was, at that time, in short supply. Rosenthal's first complete table service was called Empire; it was exhibited along with other lines at Paris's Exposition Universelle in 1900.
With the dawn of the 20th century, Rosenthal began producing porcelain tableware and services formed and decorated in the latest styles, like the Jugendstil Botticelli (1903), the Art Nouveau Darmstadt (1905), and the all-white Maria (1916) lines. Successes with this au courant approach led the company to launch an art pottery division in 1910, dedicated to luxury tableware, vases, and other decorative objects. By the 1930s, figurines were another important Rosenthal product, most notably the Disney-licensed Mickey Mouse pieces introduced in 1931.
In 1934, Philipp Rosenthal was forced to leave his company and country when his Jewish ancestry came under persecution by the Nazi regime. Despite the loss of its founder, the Rosenthal company remained the premier supplier of high-quality porcelain tableware to the Third Reich. After the war, in 1950, Philip Rosenthal Jr. (1916-2001) joined his father's company as an advertising manager. By 1958, he had become its CEO, continuing his father's vision to produce high-quality porcelain in line with progressive tastes. Through the rest of the 20th century, Rosenthal was the most commercially successful porcelain producer in Germany.
In the postwar era, Rosenthal's most famous tableware lines have included 2000 by Raymond Loewy and Richard Latham (1954), Magic Flute by Bjørn Wiinblad (1959), Suomi by Timo Sarpaneva (1976), and Moon by Jasper Morrison (1997). The company has enjoyed many popular and critically acclaimed collaborations with designers and brands, like Salvador Dalì, Tapio Wirkkala, Walter Gropius, Andy Warhol, Ron Arad, Enzo Mari, Konstantin Grcic, and Versace.
Rosenthal's product lines have encompassed more than ceramics over the years. In 1972, the company began producing furniture, under the subsidiary Rosenthal Einrichtung, in Espelkamp, Germany. Standouts from this arm of Rosenthal include Gunter Ferdinand Ris and Herbert Selldorf's futuristic Sunball Lounge Chair (1969), Verner Panton's Relaxer Rocking Chair (1974), Burchard Vogtherr's Vario Pillo Sectional Sofa (1970s), Vico Magistretti's lightweight Faun Chair (1970s), and Erwin Nagel's multifunctional Quadrondo Table (1980s). Later, Rosenthal focused on the production of high-quality office furniture, as well as decorative accessories for private interiors.
In 1997, Rosenthal became an independent arm of the Waterford Wedgwood holding company, but in 2009 faced bankruptcy as the Irish parent began to fall apart. At this time, Rosenthal was sold to Italian housewares group Sambonet Paderno Industrie. Unfortunately, Rosenthal Einrichtung was desolved and only a limited archive of the company's archive was kept intact.
Today, Rosenthal GmbH offers a small, exclusive range of furniture options under the label of Rosenthal Interieur, alongside its classic porcelain and tabletop collections.

The Most Expensive Real Estate Market in Hawaii Is…
Honolulu is the largest and most populous city of Hawaii with almost 1,000,000 residents enjoying one of the most beautiful islands of the Pacific. It's known for its tropical climate, diverse population and laid-back lifestyle. It's also known as the most expensive real estate market in Hawaii – and by quite a large margin.
Coldwell Banker ranked over 2,000 U.S. cities in its 2016 Home Listing Report. Because the average size home can vary greatly from market to market, the report compares the average price of four-bedroom, two-bathroom homes in each city to provide a more apples-to-apples comparison.
A sample-size home goes for an average of $1,202,219 in Honolulu, which ranks 14th nationally and is nearly $500,000 more expensive than the next closest Hawaii market.
While high, it feels like a bargain compared to California, where the average four-bedroom, two-bathroom home costs $2,453,718 in this year's most expensive U.S. market, Saratoga, California. Six of the top 10 most expensive markets are in Silicon Valley, and all 10 are in California.
Kalama Kim, principal broker of Honolulu-based Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties, called Honolulu "comparatively affordable compared to other destination cities."
"Unlike the cities at the top of the list driven by the tech industry, Honolulu is a diverse market with a variety of factors influencing prices including international demand, the draw of resort living and being a destination of choice," Kim said.
The Hawaii cities included on the report range from $1,202,219 in Honolulu to $653,129 in Ewa Beach. Overall, the average listing price of a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Hawaii as a whole was $904,954.

While other affordability reports provide average or median prices for all homes in a given area, the Coldwell Banker® HLR analyzes more than 50,000 four-bedroom, two-bathroom home listings to better address how much a home in one market would cost if the same home were located somewhere else in the country.
The national average listing price of a four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is $320,120 which, on average, can buy a sample size home in nearly 1,300 markets across the country.
The Most Affordable and Expensive Markets in Each State
An interactive list of the most affordable and expensive markets in each state can be viewed on the Coldwell Banker® HLR website.
The Coldwell Banker® U.S. Home Listing Report analyzes the average listing price of four-bedroom, two-bathroom real estate properties on coldwellbanker.com between January 2016 and June 2016 for 51,163 listings in 2,168 markets. The Coldwell Banker franchised affiliates, as well as other franchise brands associated with Realogy Holdings Corp, contribute to listings on coldwellbanker.com. Markets without at least 10 four-bedroom, two-bathroom listings on coldwellbanker.com between January 2016 and June 2016 were excluded from the ranking.

Whether you need to acquire proficiency skills to prepare to study abroad, to gain reading skills in a language for scholarly research, or learn to read ancient texts in the original, the Summer Language Institute has a course for you. Our summer language students enjoy a welcoming setting for experiencing the academic rigor that is the hallmark of the University of Chicago and sharing their passion for knowledge with other likeminded students.
The Summer Language Institute takes place in leafy Hyde Park on the shores of Lake Michigan, just a short train ride from downtown Chicago. The windy city really comes alive in the summer, with dozens of free performances and cultural events in Millennium Park and countless neighborhood festivals. Or consider ending your day of language learning with a jog or bike ride on Chicago's Lakefront Trail, or with a swim in Lake Michigan from Promontory Point, just a 15-minute walk from campus.
In our Ancient Language courses, faculty from the University of Chicago's renowned ancient and classical language departments guide students in building and honing their reading abilities and their familiarity with ancient texts and culture. Beginning students can expect a comprehensive introduction to the languages, which will allow them to begin reading original texts. Intermediate students solidify their mastery of grammar and syntax while reading extensively in authentic texts and developing the skills necessary to begin scholarly work with ancient sources. Each year the Summer Language Institute offers two levels of Ancient Greek and Latin.
Reading and research courses focus on the skills graduate students need to access secondary literature in other languages. Students will become familiar with the advanced grammatical structures and idiomatic characteristics of academic prose. They will also practice reading comprehension on articles drawn from their own fields and can begin integrating those materials into their own research projects. By the end of these courses, participants will be able to navigate a wide range of scholarly texts in the target language.

Londoners Could Be Arrested For Violating Tier 4 Lockdown Rules
Residents of London will be risking arrest if they attempt to flee the city during Tier 4 lockdown, which has been implemented today, banning all travel in and out of the city until further notice.
Boris Johnson urged residents to not stay overnight away from home and not enter or leave Tier 4 regions while the lockdown is in place. The Prime Minister also said that people will be ordered to stay in their houses unless they need to make an essential journey.
The legislation that details the exact lockdown guidelines have not been published yet because parliament has not yet come to an agreement on the issue, although the measure is expected to pass without issue.
However, it is important to note that residents who break the new Tier 4 lockdown rules repeatedly will face arrest if police determine that such action is required. Rule breakers will still face fines for violating the lockdown, even on their first offense.
Hundreds of people have already been arrested under the legislation since the pandemic began, although, most of these arrests took place at protests or parties and other mass gatherings.
The map below shows which areas are in which tiers after midnight on Saturday

There was a rush to leave Tier 4 regions before the lockdown began. These residents did not break the law, but were strongly advised not to travel.
At a Downing Street press conference, Chief medical officer Chris Whitty urged citizens to stay in town.
"The reason for that is if you look at the South East, if you look at the East of England and look at London, there has been a really dramatic increase in the proportion of the cases that we see when we do the screening tests, which are not absolutely exact but pretty accurate, which would imply that in the South East, 43% of the virus is now this new variant," Whitty said, according to Metro.
"In the East of England it's 59% and in London 62%. The numbers may vary slightly but those are broadly right. And those have gone up very very fast, over the last few weeks. So this has really gone incredibly quickly. They are much lower in other areas of the country," he added.
Whitty went on to say that the police have done an amazing job of enforcement, or "light touch enforcement," as he called it.
On Wednesday, Boris Johnson said it would be "inhuman" to cancel household mixing plans for Christmas.
Four days later, the PM has placed London and large parts of the South East into new Tier 4 restrictions, forcing millions to cancel festive plans.https://t.co/4SJPcRFcKJ pic.twitter.com/2bNrGbQrsQ

Police have handed out fixed penalty notices for breaches of the rules. They have also helped people keep in line with what they need to do. Whitty also noted that the bulk of the population takes this issue incredibly seriously.
People living in tier one, two, and three areas have also been given new advice on holiday planning. Bubble rules have been slashed so households can only meet up on Christmas Day and only if they are staying local. Traveling abroad, even in these areas, is restricted.
A Home Office spokesperson said that authorities expect the majority of people to do the right thing and to comply with these new restrictions to keep themselves and their loved-ones safe.
29 people were previously arrested in central London during an anti-lockdown protest for a number of offences, including breaching Covid-19 restrictions.
Scientists fear that there is a new strain of Covid spreading through the UK and authorities are hoping to slow down, or entirely stop the spread of the new strain. It is not clear how much of a threat the mutated strain is when compared with the original, but health officials are taking steps to see that it doesn't get any worse.

Finding poetic and beautiful phrases to win a beautiful girl is not an easy task. But interestingly, it has been proven that often attraction between two people happens without even a single word being spoken. Therefore, it is important that you learn the male body language because it is solely your only tactic or tool for attracting girls.
You should avoid being fidgety or jerky when approaching a girl, but make controlled movements and always ensure you walk slowly. Relationship experts say that in order to successfully attract a girl you should avoid the commonly known restless legs syndrome or fidgeting with your fingers. By ensuring that you make slow movements, you will be presenting a comfortable image of yourself hence making you more approachable. A tip to walking slowly is by increasing the length of your stride but reduce their frequency hence making a longer but slower stride but do not make it look odd by taking the stride too far. By doing this, you will appear more appealing and confident hence attract the girl of your dreams to build up your desired relationship.
This is a key body language technique that speaks volumes about you. It is advisable that while you are walking, possess that great posture. Walking with your hands in the pocket and your head down often makes you completely unapproachable and many girls would shy away from you. Girls are attracted with your confidence which you can depict by embracing the right walking posture; walking with your head tilted up a bit, with your back straight, bring your shoulders back and stick your chest out. Keeping your heart chakra facing outwards and open is very important since it is often the first place you get connected with others hence by doing so, shows that you are always available to share an open and loving connection. You should always understand that combining both your physical and emotional characteristics, you create a magnetic personality that will attract the girl you desire to have in your relationship journey.
Though tonality is technically speaking, it is a more pronounced body language than any other. It is recommended that if you are fast in talking, you should try to slow down. Most girls do not like fast-speaking guys because they often do not understand what they are saying and they consider them embarrassing to speak with. If you talk a bit slower, you will get full control of what you say, and also deter yourself from making shameful and embarrassing mistakes such as stuttering which is a great sign of lack of confidence.

The Susan Gordon
Newsletter mailing list!
at IMDB.com:
Flora M. Gordon
The Man in the Net
Updated recap written by Rich Braisted (May 14, 2013)
The Man in the Net (1959):
Susan Gordon played a tempestuous little girl named Angel Jones in The Man in the Net. Angel was one of five children who befriended John Hamilton, the character played by Alan Ladd. As this murder mystery unfolded, the five children aided and abetted John Hamilton in his attempt to allude the authorities. Included in the group of five children were Michael McGreevey and Charles Herbert, both of whom appeared in other movie and television productions with Susan Gordon in later years. As the photo of Susan Gordon with director Michael Curtiz at right illustrates, Susan Gordon appeared to be very young at the time of filming. Susan was almost 10 years old when The Man in the Net was filmed, but was small enough to portray a 6 or 7 year old. In an interview conducted by Susan's fan club president (Barbara Badham) for the Susan Gordon Fan Club newsletter in late-1960, Barbara asked Susan: "What is your most valuable asset?" Susan replied, "Being small for my age." Even as a 4' 5" tall, 11-year-old girl in late-1960, Susan realized that her diminutive size gave her a big advantage in acting, as she could behave like an extremely precocious very young child because she was actually not as young as she appeared to be.
According to Aaron Spelling's autobiography (Aaron Spelling: A Prime-Time Life), it was while at the wrap party for The Man in the Net that Carolyn Jones (Aaron's wife at the time) introduced him to Alan Ladd. As the story goes, Mr. Ladd handed a film script to screen-writer Aaron Spelling at that wrap party on Friday night, and asked him to assess it for him, as Mr. Ladd was considering appearing in the film. Mr. Spelling went home and rewrote the script, then returned it to Alan Ladd at his home on Monday morning. Impressed by the rewritten script, Mr. Ladd immediately called Jack Warner to advise him of the rewritten script, and to let him know that he was willing to make the film. The Guns of Timberland became the very first production on which Aaron Spelling earned producer credit. Of course, Mr. Spelling went on to produce (or executive produce) an extraordinary number of TV series and films over the next 47 years, before passing away in 2006 at the age of 83. Included in his extensive list of executive producer credits was a TV series in which Joan Collins and Linda Evans starred: Dynasty. Susan Gordon had a personal connection to the Dynasty television series for a number of reasons, but the biggest reason of all was that her mother, Flora M. Lang, was a unit production manager on Dynasty from 1981 to 1985 (102 episodes total, according to IMDB).
One of the locations used in the 1959 filming of The Man in the Net was in Framingham, Massachusetts: the former Macomber Estate, in the vicinity of 55 Badger Road, not far from the intersection of Badger Road and Salem End Road. More than 4 decades later, Susan Gordon returned to Framingham, Mass., the weekend of November 21-23, 2003, to appear as a celebrity guest at the 2003 Super Megafest (only 1.5 miles from where she'd filmed The Man in the Net fourty-four years earlier). Susan enjoyed herself that November 2003 weekend in New England, but noted that she wished that the fest had taken place a month earlier, so that she could have enjoyed colorful autumn foliage on her 4-hour drive to Framingham. Another location used in the film was The Cottage House, an inn located in Thompson, Connecticut, approximately 40 miles from Framingham. I believe this is the same inn that Susan Gordon and her child-actor co-stars stayed in (along with their moms) during the filming of The Man in the Net. Susan Gordon mentioned a number of times that her experience in making this film was especially fun for her because she spent a lot of time with the other child actors who appeared in the film: Barbara Beaird, Steve Perry, Michael McGreevey, and Charles Herbert.
On a personal note: when I first watched The Man in the Net with Susan by my side in 2005, this while we were in the process of creating the recap video of Susan Gordon's career which she was later to screen at film festivals, I was not yet familiar with what Susan Gordon had looked like as a very young child. (I knew what she'd looked like in 1962 when she filmed her episode of The Twilight Zone, but she was much smaller in 1959 when she filmed The Man in the Net.) As a result, I had a difficult time at first distinguishing between Susan Gordon and Barbara Beaird, since these two young actresses were similar in appearance in 1959 (in my defense, I was watching with Susan her home-made videocasette copy of The Man in the Net, and the grainy video quality made it difficult to see things clearly.) As I watched The Man in the Net with Susan, I think she thought I was joking whenever the group of children would appear, and I would ask her, "Which one are you?" I wasn't joking. Anyhow, since Susan Gordon and Barbara Beaird were portratying sisters Angel and Emily Jones, respectively, I suppose it was logical that two actresses who resembled each other were cast to play the two roles. (The photo at left is of Barbara Beaird, Susan Gordon, and Alan Ladd. The photo at above right was taken by Susan Gordon. That was what I looked like on June 12, 2005, while rewatching many of Susan Gordon's performances in the process of selecting scenes to use in the video recap of her career. We had the recap video ready in time for Susan Gordon's first appearance at the Monster Bash film festival, twelve days later. There were more than 20 videocassettes and DVD-R discs in the container next to me in that photo, and those were just "the good copies" from Susan's personal collection. Susan had accumulated a large collection of her performances, on all manner of media. She joked, "Can we use the ones I have on Betamax?" Although, maybe she was serious?)
