Osama bin Laden's technologies uncovered
Officials sift through fugitive's technological belongings
By Alysha Sideman
Shortly after the government decided not to show a photo of Osama bin Laden dead, five videos found in the Pakistani compound were released to the public. These films are just a glint of the hundreds of technological treasures discovered by U.S.forces. Now the question is what will be done with the rest of the findings from the hideout?
American intelligence wants to know who bin Laden was talking to, what he was reading or watching, what he was thinking and what he didn't want us to know, reports Michael Tanji of Wired.com's Danger Room.
Another important element is to determine how technologically sophisticated bin Laden's team is based on software and file formats such as extensions from engineering or computer-aided design and manufacturing programs, the article states.
One of the released videos shows bin Laden looking cold and feeble and watching himself on television. "This is someone who realized that the image he conveyed was the main value he had to his movement," former CIA analyst Paul Pillar told ABCnews.com
However, not all the technology may be so easy to decipher.
Analysts now have the task of unencrypting the information collected. One U.S.official called the technology seized from bin Laden's fortress "the mother lode of intelligence," writes Kevin McCaney on Government Computer News.
Officials haven't said whether, or how well, the electronic devices were encrypted, reports GCN.
The exact amount of technology confiscated is not known. The United Kingdom's Daily Mail reports the treasures include 10 computers, 10 cell phones and 100 memory sticks. But the Wall Street Journal reports that there were five computers, 10 hard drives and more than 100 portable storage devices such as DVDs and flash drives collected. Paper documents were also taken.
Officials hope that the information gathered from the compound will offer clues to how to hit other al Qaeda members. It is believed that those involved in previous terrorist attacks and details about future plans could be uncovered by sifting through bin Laden's tech, the Daily Mail states.

Kids love Choose Your Own Adventure books! (CYOA for short.) The books are fun for everyone, but they are magic for reluctant readers. Here are some tips for using the books in your classroom.
Buy Choose Your Own Adventure books for all reading levels. Classics are appropriate for students in grades 4 and up—provided those students read at grade level. Remind your students that CYOA books look longer than they are, because you don't read the whole thing. Just know that the favorites from the 80s are not super easy. Were kids better readers back then?
Check out the CYOA Dragonlarks series for younger readers. These books are good for all students in grades 3 and up. The print is bigger, there are illustrations—these books just look easier. Everyone in an elementary class can enjoy these, although the truly struggling readers will need a buddy.
Set aside time for groups of 2-4 students to buddy read the books. You'll need space for everyone to read aloud, yet not be disturbed by nearby readers. Your best behaved students might be able to form a group in the hall, freeing up space inside the classroom.
Use the books as readalouds. This works well if you only have a few titles. You can read, then let the class vote on what to do next. This will hook students on the books, and then they can read on their own.
Create CYOA literature circles. If you have multiple copies of a book, have students read independently, then meet as a group to discuss. They can talk about different options, analyze character, and create a fun advertisement for the book to interest their classmates in reading it.
Write your own CYOA stories. this is a good challenge project for Gifted students and other high achievers. Explain that students will want to map out their plot—that's the easiest way to create the CYOA structure. Then, they can write the pages for each section.
Click here to visit the Choose Your Own Adventure site. You can read about the books, order individual titles or small group sets, and learn more about the renaissance of this fun series. Click here for CYOA teacher's guides.

Afflatus
21 May Afflatus
Afflatus is a Latin term derived from Cicero (in De Natura Deorum (The Nature of the Gods)) that has been translated as "inspiration." Cicero's usage was a literalizing of "inspiration," which had already become figurative. Literally, "inspiration," like "afflatus," means "to be blown into" by a divine wind. As "inspiration" came to mean simply the gathering of a new idea, Cicero reiterated the idea of a rush of unexpected breath, a powerful force that would render the poet helpless and unaware of its origin.
In English, "afflatus" is used for this literal form of inspiration. It generally refers not to the usual sudden originality, but to the staggering and stunning blow of a new idea, an idea that the recipient may be unable to explain. In Romantic literature and criticism, in particular, the usage of "afflatus" was revived for the mystical form of poetic inspiration tied to "genius", such as the story Coleridge offered for the composition of Kubla Khan. The frequent usage of the Aeolian harp as a symbol for the poet was a play on the renewed emphasis on afflatus.

C, Imperial Guard Regiments, Imperial Guard, Imperium
8th Cadian
Revision as of 15:49, April 17, 2017 by Adeptus Hispanus (Talk | contribs)
8th Cadian Regimental Standard
The 8th Cadian charges the enemy during the defence of Cadia from the Forces of Chaos in the 13th Black Crusade
The soldiers of the Imperial Fortress World of Cadia form the Cadian Shock Troopers regiments of the Imperial Guard, famed throughout the Imperium for their skill and discipline. They stand as the front line of defence against the predations of Chaos, staring into the very gates of hell, the courage of Cadia's soldiery having repeatedly saved the Imperium from the rampages and depredations of the Forces of Chaos. Amongst the most illustrious of regiments the Cadian 8th stands at the fore. Its low designation indicates that it was first founded thousands of years ago, perhaps during the earliest days of the Imperium itself, and has been re-founded many times since to ensure that its glorious heritage never dies. Known as "The Lord Castellan's Own," their commander is no other than the lauded and much beloved Lord Castellan of Cadia, Ursarkar E. Creed.
The 8th Cadian is comprised of approximately 8,000 Guardsmen divided into roughly 24 companies. At least two companies at a time are in hostile environment training on Prosan (the innermost planet of the Cadian System) and two others help to garrison Kasr Sonnen and Kasr Holn (Fortress Worlds within the Cadian System). Due to their illustrious history and elite status, the companies of the Cadian 8th are in high demand to play support roles for other units or to serve in smaller formations as elite strike forces. As a result, the 8th Cadian rarely fights as an entire unit, instead having its companies deployed as support elements for other, less able Imperial Guard or Planetary Defence Forces. In addition, there is always demand for soldiers of the 8th to be indentured to Inquisitors, particularly members of the Cadian Internal Guard, or to assist in training newly-founded regiments.
The 8th Cadian is equipped with a number of Leman Russ main battle tanks which were deployed to maximum effect during the 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41. The Cadian 8th's officers are also some of the most skilled leaders in the Imperial Guard and are often used to lead the training cadres that will churn out new Cadian Shock Trooper regiments that can meet the high standards required by the Cadian military tradition.
The Cadian 8th is one of the oldest regiments of the Imperial Guard, its low number indicating that it may have been founded in the earliest days of the Imperium, perhaps even dating back to the period before the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Navy became separate branches of the Imperial military following the break-up of the Imperial Army after the Horus Heresy. The Cadian 8th has been destroyed as a functional regiment numerous times following intense combats, but it has always been reformed on Cadia and brought back up to full strength because of its illustrious history of service. The earliest reference to the deeds of the 8th Cadian in existing Imperial records is the Vrakesworld Campaign of the 38th Millennium, though the unit may have been referred to by a different designation earlier in its history.
The 8th Cadian received its highest honour, being named the "The Lord Castellan's Own," during the darkest days of the 13th Black Crusade when their former commanding officer, Colonel Ursarkar E. Creed, was named Cadia's Lord Castellan (Planetary Governor). Creed had served in the 8th Cadian throughout his career and had steadily ascended its ranks over the course of his long career of service. Creed began his service as a young lieutenant in command of a platoon of the 8th Cadian during the Drussite Crusade in 975.M41 and rose to the rank of Lord General when he crushed a raid by the Eldar of Craftworld Ulthwé in 992.M41. When the traitorous Volscani Cataphracts betrayed the Emperor and slaughtered most of Cadia's high command at the Battle of Tyrok Fields on Cadia during the 13th Black Crusade in 999.M41, Creed was appointed to the Fortress World's highest military and political office. The Cadian 8th fought desperately and heroically throughout the 13th Black Crusade, and Creed chose to remain the 8th's commanding officer even as he assumed command of all of the Imperial military forces deployed on the surface of Cadia to throw back the invasion launched by the Forces of Chaos under the command of Abaddon the Despoiler. While Abaddon's forces remain bottled up on Cadia by the Imperial Navy at the present time, the 8th remains at the forefront of trying to purge their world of the taint of the Heretic and the Traitor.

13th Black Crusade (999.M41) - The 8th Cadian Regiment was engaged in multiple battles across the world of Cadia in the midst of Abaddon the Despoiler's all-out assault upon the Cadian Gate during the 13th Black Crusade.
Battle of Tyrok Fields - During the outset of the Despoiler's 13th Black Crusade, treachery struck at the heart of the Imperium's defences. As the defenders of the Cadian Gate mustered, the traitorous Volscani Cataphracts revealed their true allegiance to the Ruinous Powers. The traitors slaughtered hundreds of loyal Guardsmen before any response could be coordinated. The intent of the Volscani's treason was revealed as they swarmed aboard the the Leviathan command vehicle of the Governor Primus of Cadia and proceeded to slaughter him and much of the senior command of Cadia's armed forces. This included the commander-in-chief of the defenders of the Cadian Gate, who was killed in the brutal attack. At the darkest moment, then-Colonel Ursarkar Creed took control of the dire situation. Rallying the glorious 8th, the bloodied defenders were quickly organised and ordered to advance upon the traitors. The 8th Cadian led the charge into the ranks of the traitorous Volscani. Through Creed's actions, what might have been a grievous defeat for the Imperium, and a nefarious victory for the hordes of the Archenemy, was turned into a defining moment for the defenders of Cadia.

The Magenta sprang to the kit car scene in 1972 and was hailed by the company as a sports tourer. A bit optimistic and many settled for buggy. It proved popular though no doubt due to it's GBP250 price tag and expected GBP350 build cost.
It was based on the MG 1100 (BMC 1100) which donated it's subframes, engine and gearbox and other assorted items including the MG 110 grille which gave it that unique look.
The Magenta sold in the hundreds so there are still plenty to be spotted at kit car shows. Further modifications came in the guise of the Roadster and Sprint which had modified front ends and donor changes which included Ford and Mini components.

Changing Company Culture Requires a Movement, Not a Mandate
Posted on June 24, 2017 by hooghe
For organizations seeking to become more adaptive and innovative, culture change is often the most challenging part of the transformation. Innovation demands new behaviors from leaders and employees that are often antithetical to corporate cultures, which are historically focused on operational excellence and efficiency.
Bryan Walker
Sarah A. Soule
But culture change can't be achieved through top-down mandate. It lives in the collective hearts and habits of people and their shared perception of "how things are done around here." Someone with authority can demand compliance, but they can't dictate optimism, trust, conviction, or creativity.
What Does a Movement Look Like?
To draw parallels between the journey of Dr. Reddy's and a movement, we need to better understand movements.
We often think of movements as starting with a call to action. But movement research suggests that they actually start with emotion — a diffuse dissatisfaction with the status quo and a broad sense that the current institutions and power structures of the society will not address the problem. This brewing discontent turns into a movement when a voice arises that provides a positive vision and a path forward that's within the power of the crowd.
What's more, social movements typically start small. They begin with a group of passionate enthusiasts who deliver a few modest wins. While these wins are small, they're powerful in demonstrating efficacy to nonparticipants, and they help the movement gain steam. The movement really gathers force and scale once this group successfully co-opts existing networks and influencers. Eventually, in successful movements, leaders leverage their momentum and influence to institutionalize the change in the formal power structures and rules of society.
Practices for Leading a Cultural Movement
Leaders should not be too quick or simplistic in their translation of social movement dynamics into change management plans. That said, leaders can learn a lot from the practices of skillful movement makers.
Frame the issue. Successful leaders of movements are often masters of framing situations in terms that stir emotion and incite action. Framing can also apply social pressure to conform. For example, "Secondhand smoking kills. So shame on you for smoking around others."
Demonstrate quick wins. Movement makers are very good at recognizing the power of celebrating small wins. Research has shown that demonstrating efficacy is one way that movements bring in people who are sympathetic but not yet mobilized to join.
Harness networks. Effective movement makers are extremely good at building coalitions, bridging disparate groups to form a larger and more diverse network that shares a common purpose. And effective movement makers know how to activate existing networks for their purposes. This was the case with the leaders of the 1960s civil rights movement, who recruited members through the strong community ties formed in churches. But recruiting new members to a cause is not the only way that movement makers leverage social networks. They also use social networks to spread ideas and broadcast their wins.
Create safe havens. Movement makers are experts at creating or identifying spaces within which movement members can craft strategy and discuss tactics. Such spaces have included beauty shops in the Southern U.S. during the civil rights movement, Quaker work camps in the 1960s and 1970s, the Seneca Women's Encampment of the 1980s and early 1990s. These are spaces where the rules of engagement and behaviors of activists are different from those of the dominant culture. They're microcosms of what the movement hopes will become the future.
The dominant culture and structure of today's organizations are perfectly designed to produce their current behaviors and outcomes, regardless of whether those outcomes are the ones you want. If your hope is for individuals to act differently, it helps to change their surrounding conditions to be more supportive of the new behaviors, particularly when they are antithetical to the dominant culture. Outposts and labs are often built as new environments that serve as a microcosm for change. Dr. Reddy's established two innovation labs to explore the future of medicine and create a space where it's easier for people to embrace new beliefs and perform new behaviors.
Embrace symbols. Movement makers are experts at constructing and deploying symbols and costumes that simultaneously create a feeling of solidarity and demarcate who they are and what they stand for to the outside world. Symbols and costumes of solidarity help define the boundary between "us" and "them" for movements. These symbols can be as simple as a T-shirt, bumper sticker, or button supporting a general cause, or as elaborate as the giant puppets we often see used in protest events.
The Challenge to Leadership
Unlike a movement maker, an enterprise leader is often in a position of authority. They can mandate changes to the organization — and at times they should. However, when it comes to culture change, they should do so sparingly. It's easy to overuse one's authority in the hopes of accelerating transformation.
It's also easy for an enterprise leader to shy away from organizational friction. Harmony is generally a preferred state, after all. And the success of an organizational transition is often judged by its seamlessness.
In a movements-based approach to change, a moderate amount of friction is positive. A complete absence of friction probably means that little is actually changing. Look for the places where the movement faces resistance and experiences friction. They often indicate where the dominant organizational design and culture may need to evolve.
And remember that culture change only happens when people take action. So start there. While articulating a mission and changing company structures are important, it's often a more successful approach to tackle those sorts of issues after you've been able to show people the change you want to see.

Nigeria diocese facing Islamic militia attacks says, 'Enough is Enough!'
John L. Allen Jr. | Crux Now
Men march along a truck Jan. 11
An embattled Catholic diocese in southeastern Nigeria facing a mounting wave of violent attacks from Islamic militias has declared "enough is enough," demanding that "bad" members of the largely Muslim Fulani tribe be "flushed out" of the area and that local self-protection groups be armed to provide their own security.
Bishop Callistus Onaga of Enugu released the statement Sunday in conjunction with a Mass "for peace and security" following the murder of Father Paul Offu last week, with most Catholics holding Fulani herders responsible even though a professional association largely composed of Fulani members has denied that they were involved.
Offu was the third Catholic priest murdered in the area over the past five months.
The statement released Sunday, which was titled "Enough is Enough," asserted that such violence has created "a state of anarchy [and a] total breakdown of law and order."
"The rate of kidnappings has continued to increase, both in the villages and in the cities," it said. "The demand for outrageous ransoms, and the inability of the victims to pay, have led to outright killings."
Conflict between herders and farmers in Nigeria over land use is nothing new, and usually takes on a sectarian division since the herders are mostly Muslim and the farmers mostly Christian. Yet since early 2018 the level of violence has intensified, and now claims more lives than the terrorist group Boko Haram.
A recent report by the Independent Crisis Group says three factors have driven the escalation: Environmental degradation, especially in northern Nigeria, which has driven more herders into other parts of the country; new laws banning grazing in some regions; and a poor government response to security threats, which has led to the formation of more and better-armed private militias.
"Our people are now afraid to embark on their normal farming activities," Onaga's statement said. "For fear of being raped, our women can no longer carry out their regular activities in the villages, particular their farming and other businesses."
"It is no longer safe for our people to move freely on the roads or visit their homes in the villages," the statement said. "The burning of houses has been perpetrated within our own territory."
The Jubilee Campaign, which advocates for religious freedom worldwide, claims that 52 attacks by Fulani militants took place between the beginning of 2019 and mid-June. It's requested that the International Criminal Court designate the situation a "genocide." The Nigerian-based civil society group International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law asserts that some 2,400 Christians were killed by the Fulani in 2018 alone.
Enugu, which was declared the capital city of the short-lived "Republic of Biafra" during a civil war in 1967, is largely populated by members of the Igbo tribe, one of the country's largest and its most heavily Catholic.
Onaga, who's led the diocese since 2009 and whose mother is the daughter of an Igbo tribal chief, made several specific demands of government leaders.
"The government should, as a matter of urgency, flush out bad Fulanis from our state," the statement said, though Onaga did not go into details as to how that should be accomplished.
"The government should effectively equip vigilance groups to provide protection and security for their various localities," he said. Though Onaga did not specifically mention arming those groups, that's how the comment was interpreted by many Nigerian media outlets.
While rarely heard from clergy, calls to arm Christians to defend themselves against attacks by Islamic militants are not new in Nigeria. In 2015, for example, Protestant attorney Dalyop Salomon proposed a UN resolution authorizing Christians in the area to arm themselves, hoping that would lead to countries agreeing to supply weapons to local volunteer militias.
Onaga also called for more sophisticated surveillance efforts to detect attacks before they occur, and also asked security services to protect the identities of confidential informants who come forward with information about perpetrators.
The bishop called on community leaders to refrain from actions inimical to security, saying "any betrayal must be seriously sanctioned," and also demanded that the government provide support for victims in the aftermath of attacks.
"The government should provide counseling and other services to victims of these bad Fulani people," he said.
Not every Catholic bishop in Nigeria, however, is ready to blame the Fulani for the growing cycle of violence.
Bishop Matthew Kukah of the far northern diocese of Sokoto, which is heavily Islamic and one of the birthplaces of Boko Haram, gave a speech July 31 in which he called for a moratorium on "incitments to hate against Fulani herders," especially on social media sites.
Kukah argued that when verbal attacks on a specific ethnic group escalate, it's often a precursor to genocide, comparing the present rhetoric about the Fulani to the kinds of things said about Igbos prior to the Nigerian civil war.
Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, an Evangelical Christian, recently wrote to current President Muhammadu Buhari, a Muslim, warning of a "Rwanda-style genocide" if the government does not adopt firmer measures to halt the violence.
With more than 200 million people, Nigeria is the most populous nation in Africa and also has the world's largest mixed Muslim/Christian population, with each tradition claiming roughly half the country's total.

How to Throw Perfect Pokeballs in Pokemon Go: 100% Accurate!
For the first time in a couple of weeks, this weekend I had a few free hours to advance a few levels in Pokemon Go, and I wanted to make a tutorial detailing the throwing technique that I have been using when throwing Pokeballs at Pokemon in the game when capturing them. I noticed that many time while playing, I would run low on Pokeballs, and when I would go to catch a new Pokemon in the game, I would miss when throwing the Pokeball occasionally, and thus be out of luck as I would have no way of capturing when I ran out of Pokeballs. I did some research, and I found a method that allows you to throw seemingly perfect Pokeballs in Pokemon Go, and in my experience, this method allows for nearly 100 percent accuracy and I have almost never missed a Pokemon using this method. Below you will find my video tutorial, and the best part is, this does not require any hacks, cheats, mods, or jailbreaks, and is extremely helpful if you are struggling to hit a Pokemon when throwing a Pokeball. Let me know if this technique helps your throws!

[ARCHIVED] Bystander Pulls Woman from Burning Vehicle at Beaverton Gas Station
At 2:15 p.m., Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue firefighters were dispatched to 7200 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Highway in Beaverton after multiple callers to 9-1-1 reported that a vehicle and gas pumps were on fire at a gas station. Initial reports indicated that one person was trapped inside the vehicle.
Upon arrival, fire crews initiated an aggressive attack on the fire, which had fully involved the vehicle and a gas pump. Firefighter paramedics also began assessing and treating two patients.
TVF&R credits the actions of two individuals who reportedly prevented this incident from becoming a tragedy. One individual - a gas station employee - immediately shut off the main switch to the gas pumps after the fire started. Another individual - a bystander - broke out the vehicle's window and pulled a female patient from the burning car to safety. The female patient was treated by firefighter paramedics and transported by Metro West ambulance to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries resulting from smoke inhalation. The bystander who intervened was treated on scene for minor cuts.
TVF&R Battalion Chief Leonard Damian said of the bystander, "Had this individual not broken out the window and pulled the patient out of the burning car and to safety, I don't believe she would have survived. His actions were nothing short of heroic."
TVF&R was assisted on this incident with a mutual aid response from Portland Fire & Rescue and traffic control by the Washington County Sheriff's Office. WCSO is the lead agency investigating the nature of the motor vehicle accident.

Pirelli has not received a single request to change its Formula 1 tyres despite suggestions it should revert to last year's specification to end Mercedes' dominance of the 2019 season.
The introduction of Pirelli's 2019 tyres, which are 0.4mm thinner in a bid to reduce blistering and overheating, has coincided with Mercedes winning all seven races so far.
During the Canadian Grand Prix weekend, criticism of that effect reached a new level from the likes of Ferrari and Red Bull, amid calls for Pirelli to reintroduce its 2018 tyres.
F1 to discuss bringing 2018-spec tyres back after summer break
Pirelli puzzled by complaints over new F1 tyres' working range
Haas frustrated to be "playing games with a thermometer"
However, Pirelli can only change its compounds if it identifies a safety concern.
Any change to Pirelli's 2019 tyre compounds or constructions can only occur if the FIA requests it, or if 70% of teams are in favour of it.
Motorsport.com has learned that Pirelli has not received a single official request to change its tyres.
"It is very clear how you can modify the construction or the compounds during the season," Pirelli's F1 boss Mario Isola told Motorsport.com.
"I didn't receive any request so far. If I receive a request that is reasoned, we will consider that request. We will consider what we have to do to modify the tyres, and we will discuss that with the FIA.
"We, Pirelli, can modify the construction or the compound, the specification of the tyre, only for safety. At the moment there is no safety concern.
"Even if I sent a request to the FIA, to be honest I don't know what to write in that request because I cannot reason any change for safety. I cannot. There is no safety concern."
Isola says that Pirelli mostly achieved the 2019 targets that were agreed in conjunction with the FIA, F1 and teams.
These targets were to eliminate blistering, reduce overheating, space out the performance of the compounds more evenly and increase the working window.
Isola admits that the working window, which is one of the key limiting factors for teams struggling to get the most out of the 2019 tyres, must still be improved.
Getting the tyres into the working window is down to a combination of factors relating to the aerodynamic and mechanical performance of the car, how that makes the tyre interact with the track surface and the energy that puts through the tyre – with circuit layout also a primary factor.
All 10 teams had the option to trial the 2019-spec tyres for the first time in Abu Dhabi last year.
They had 20 sets to use to compare the last remaining choices between compounds and constructions.
This followed the use of thinner-tread tyres, based on last year's compounds, at the 2018 Spanish, French and British GPs.
However, despite Mercedes' performance at those races, the subsequent opportunity to test the 2019 tyres, and two weeks of pre-season testing this year, no concerns were raised about the impact the tyres could have.
Isola stressed that equity of treatment is vital for Pirelli, which has "a clear and strict process to supply the same efforts to the team" on an operational basis.
"How to design the car, how to generate the downforce, to design the suspension, is their job," he added. "We still have to work on the working range, but we did most of the job and now it's up to them to generate the energy."

Добрета (, ), или Даврит (, ) — вождь и полководец племени склавинов во второй половине шестого века.

Биография
Добрета возглавлял племена склавинов, живших на Нижнем Дунае и на территории бывшей римской провинции Паннония около 570 года. Его имя в греческих источниках выступает как Даврит (). Власть князя на подчиненные племена была ограничена советом «военачальников». Склавины и анты на тот момент находились под давлением аваров.

Византийский историк Менандр Протектор писал, что аварский каган Баян послал посольство, требуя от Добреты и его славян принять сюзеренитет Аварского каганата и уплатить ему дань, зная, что славяне накопили огромные богатства после неоднократных нападений на византийские провинции на Балканах. Добрета ответил: «Родился ли на свете … человек, который бы подчинил себе нашу силу? Не другие нашей землёй, а мы чужой привыкли обладать…».

Около 578 года Баян организовал военную кампанию против склавинов. Число аваров, как указано в греческих летописях, было 100 000. Они пересекли Дунай и вторглись на территорию Византийской империи. Император Тиберий II заключил союз с аварами и направил их против склавинов. После этого каган Баян вступил с большим войском на территорию Славин в Дакии.

One of the best pieces of advice I got when I first started my online business, was to start growing an email list. With social media becoming the more common place to connect with customers many people forget this critical element of business. So I'm here to tell you why every business owner needs an email list.
Many platforms come and go – email marketing has already withstood the tests of time. While you may think you have control over your Facebook likes, Instagram followers, Pinterest views and so on. You really don't. Algorithms are constantly changing and platforms may come and go. If your primary platform was to get shut down tomorrow, what would you do?
Have you got a back up plan to stay connected with your audience? The only place you really have control is in your email list. Once somebody provides you with their email it's yours forever (unless they unsubscribe by choice).
Think about how much engagement is forever changing on social media. Half your content may not even be seen by your followers because of the way newsfeeds are controlled (the general reach is about 2% of your audience on social media). One day you could be doing really well on Instagram and Facebook, then an algorithm changes and bam, crickets.
But when it comes to your email list it's a whole different ball game. 90% of emails actually get delivered to the intended recipient's inbox. So basically once a subscriber has opened one of your emails, they've confirmed they want to hear from you. And that means every time you send an email, it is going to hit their inbox. So there's no guesswork, you hit send, it hits their inbox and is ready and waiting for them to read it.
Not to mention there's actually a LOT more email accounts than social media profiles. So all in all email marketing actually has a higher reach than any social media platform. In 2017, the number of worldwide email users topped 3.7 billion. By the end of 2021, the number of worldwide email users will be over 4.1 billion. Approximately half of the worldwide population was using email in 2017. You need an email to sign up for everything (social media platforms included).
Back to the above point, because 90% of your emails hit your audience's inbox. If you have a good email strategy and are sending out regular emails then this is a great way to stay front of mind for them.
Chances are the person reading your emails found you on social media. They may have read a brief post or saw a pin or liked your page. But does that really allow them to get to know you? No… And in their busy lives they'll just move on and probably forget about you. And because your social media reach is only 2% they may never see one of your posts again.
But… if you have a way to capture their email while they're on your social profile this is your chance to keep in touch. Your emails are a way to really strengthen your connection with them and build a genuine relationship. The more they hear from you, the more the reader gets to know you, like you, and trust you. And this eventually leads them to wanting to work with you.
One of the most important measures of blog success is traffic. If you're trying to score sponsorship deals, work with large brands etc. they're going to want to know you have a good flow of traffic. And unless you're an SEO genius and know how to get ranked on the front page of Google every single time, getting views on your site can be tricky. Especially when you're just starting out.
You could share your posts on social media. But again… You don't have anywhere near the reach you get when sending an email to your list.
So what if you sent out an email every time you published a new post? That email hits your reader's inbox, they click the link, and that counts as a view on your site. The bigger your list grows, the more people clicking through to your blog in a short amount of time. And that is a way to improve your SEO and start to get ranked on Google.
According to a study conducted by VentureBeat. For 10 years in a row email marketing has reported to generate the highest ROI for marketers – For every $1 spent, email marketing generates $38 in ROI. And even if you don't have a product to sell right now, you might do in the future.
Imagine having a very warmed up email list that loves you to send that product to once you do. Selling affiliate products is my number one source of income and I never would've had the success I've had if it wasn't for my email list. The fortune is in the follow up.
So that's why every business owner needs an email list. If you haven't got one yet… it's time you start building an email list today.
The platform I use for my email marketing is GetResponse – you can get a 30 day free trial of their system right here.

Lidia Sioutos came to us in July with the goal to turn her life around. As a busy mum-of-two, she was flat out running her business and looking after her family. She was constantly on the go and didn't have time to eat properly. She was constantly tired, stressed out and putting her health last. Something needed to change.
After completing the Kappatalize Fitness 6 Week Body and Mind Transformation Program, Lidia has turned her life around. With the initial goal to lose weight, Lidia found she gained so much more than that – she got herself back!
What prompted you to join the Kappatalize Fitness 6 Week Body & Mind Transformation Program?
I had tried to lose weight in the past, but with no success. What happened, was that I actually put on weight from trying so many fad diets! I was struggling to find the time to exercise, I was unhappy and had no drive. I was stressed out, because nothing was working, and I could see the negative impact it was having on my family. It became apparent, that I wasn't the best version of myself. When I saw an advertisement for Kappatalize Fitness, I made the decision to start.
Tell us a bit about yourself and your life before the program and what it's like now?
I am 44 years old, and a mum to 2 teenage girls. I run my own business and I also help run my husband's business. Life is busy!
I have always loved exercise, but over the past 5 years, I just found I had no time for it. Food was always eaten on the go – I never got time to actually sit down and enjoy it. I was spending less and less quality time with the family and my business was no longer in my control. My time was being dictated by my clients. They dictated my opening hours, the kind of work I did, and when I did it. That was impacting my family. I was unhappy in myself and not feeling as healthy as I should have.
I've set rules and non-negotiable hours in place, which has given me more time to spend with my family, while still having time to get work done. I have made a conscious effort to set aside time to exercise and to make time to eat right. I'm making better food choices and I am actually taking the time to sit down and enjoy my food. I feel stronger in making decisions and have actually surprised myself at how assertive and in control of my life I have been.
I have a much better balance in my life and am more equipped to deal with the unexpected.
Another great thing, is that I can switch off now. In the past, I was unable to watch an entire movie, because my mind would start to drift into how much work I needed to do, and I would get up and do it. Now, I've become quite a movie buff and can actually sit still, focus and watch an entire movie – credits and all!
Can you share some of your wins from the program?
I feel much fitter. I've lost 4 kilos. I'm more confident and have a stronger mindset. I've learnt many useful tools to use in my everyday life, and finally, I'm looking after me.
What differences have you noticed in yourself?
I am definitely a happier person. I look better, I feel better. I'm much more positive and confident, and I'm more willing to try new things. I sleep better at night and my focus and productivity at work has improved.
One of the biggest things I have found is that I don't use "excuses anymore" and I make the time to look after myself.
What have you learnt and what new things have you put into practice in your day-to-day life?
I've learnt the importance of being grateful, mindful and present in the moment. I've learnt better self-care and the importance of goal setting. I hold myself accountable. Each day I allocate something to be grateful for. I practice being mindful for at least 10 minutes a day – this could be when I am out for a walk or when I am at home and it's quiet. I make sure to be present with my thoughts, rather than focusing too much into what or what may not happen in the future.
What advice would you give to others who are on the fence about doing a program like this?
DO IT NOW!!! I've lost so much time and happiness, having not doing this sooner.
You will learn a lot about yourself on this program, you will be stronger and healthier in body and mind.
The program has great support if you need it and the exercise is great.
You CAN find the time to look after yourself, I did!
Are you ready to transform your life like Lidia did? Do you want to get your confidence back and improve your fitness? Get in touch with me below.
The next 6 Week Body and Mind Transformation Program is kicking off on the 15th October. Spots are filling fast! Register your interest below.
Achieve the body you want by working on your mind!
I only have one body... I need to keep it fit and healthy!

A.C. Moore to close most of its 145 stores
A woman uses a sewing machine in this file photo. Those who rely on A.C. Moore for their sewing supplies may be out of luck next year as the company poises to close stores. (Source: AP Graphic)
By Kimberly L. Wright | November 26, 2019 at 8:11 AM CST - Updated November 26 at 8:11 AM
(Gray News) - The parent company of A.C. Moore craft stores has decided to get out of the retail business, the company announced in a Monday news release.
Most of the 145 A.C. Moore stores will be closed, while others will be rebranded into Michael's craft stores.
Anthony Piperno, A.C. Moore's CEO, blamed an unfavorable retail environment for the move.
"For over 30 years, our stores have been servicing the creative community with a vast selection of art and craft materials, with one common focus, the customer," he said. "Unfortunately, given the headwinds facing many retailers in today's environment, it made it very difficult for us to operate and compete on a national level."
Until the decisions are implemented, stores will still offer "great customer experience, while still delivering quality and value on your favorite products," Piperno said.
A list of stores to be closed will be listed on the company's website in the coming weeks, the company said.
Michael's will pick up the leases and convert up to 40 A.C. Moore stores in 2020, as well as a distribution facility and intellectual property.
"This transaction enables us to further expand our presence in strategic markets and serve even more customers both online and in store. We are looking forward to re-opening these stores under the Michaels name in 2020 and welcoming new team members," Michaels CEO Mark Cosby said.
Major retailers have jettisoned nearly 8,000 stores as of August this year, with most of the bloodletting in apparel, Coresight Research said.
They appeared side by side in the video message, which was recorded as part of the "Celebrating America" inauguration concert.

Q: Laradock php-worker is not working for artisan queue:work I am deploying a Laravel 7.28.3 app with Laradock on production mode.
So far the application is working in its domain.com with Let's Encrypt.
Since I am using the Email Verification feature, I want the php artisan queue:workrunning in the background. According to the docs, you can use the php-worker container.
So I set up all according to them, but the php-worker is not dispatching the queued jobs.
In the .env the queue connection driver is database:
QUEUE_CONNECTION=database

The configuration files are as follows:
laravel-worker.conf inside the php-worker/supervisord.d/ directory:
[program:laravel-worker]
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d
command=php /var/www/artisan queue:work --sleep=3 --tries=3 --daemon
autostart=true
autorestart=true
numprocs=8
user=root
redirect_stderr=true

In this case, I'm only running the nginx, mysql and php-worker containers. The docs say the workspace container is run automatically. So:
$ sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up --build nginx mysql php-worker

When scanning the realtime logs I get the following messages:
php-worker_1           | 2020-08-11 03:13:48,889 CRIT Supervisor is running as root.  Privileges were not dropped because no user is specified in the config file.  If you intend to run as root, you can set user=root in the config file to avoid this message.

Then I test the application by creating a new account (at /register), there's nothing reported at the logs by the php-worker.
Hmmm... now it's working!
Reference.

A: This works for me:
inside .env file add:
REDIS_CLIENT=predis

and then restart the Queue: php artisan queue:restart

Detroit Tigers 2020 Season Preview 2.0
Posted bycarterhud July 4, 2020 Posted inUncategorized
Nothing went right for the Tigers in 2020. While everyone thought that the Orioles would finish last in the MLB, the Tigers proved everybody wrong, going 47-114. They drafted Spencer Torkelson 1st overall in June, their second first overall pick in three years, after pitcher Casey Mize was selected in 2018. The lineup is terrible, and the rotation is even worse. They missed their chance to trade away Matthew Boyd at the deadline, costing them valuable assets. It will be another rough season for the Tigers.
Offseason additions: 1B CJ Cron, 2B Jonathan Schoop, C Austin Romine, RHP Ivan Nova, OF Cameron Maybin, RHP Zack Godley, OF Jorge Bonifacio, LHP Hector Santiago.
Offseason subtractions: UT Brandon Dixon, UT Ronny Rodriguez, C John Hicks, LHP Daniel Stumpf, IF Gordon Beckham, IF Josh Harrison, LHP Matt Moore.
Matthew Boyd emerged as one of baseball\'s top strikeout starters. Boyd, who has three more years left under contract, struck out 238 batters in 185.1 innings. However, he allowed a league leading 39 home runs, and 94 earned runs in total, for a 4.56 ERA. Boyd saw most of his stats drop-off from his 2018 numbers, but those strikeouts were the main difference, as his K/9 rose by 3.2 points. Spencer Turnbull had an ERA under 3.00 in June. Injuries and poor play hurt that as the year went on. He went 3-17, leading the league in the latter category. He had a 4.61 ERA in 148.1 innings. He also hit a league leading 16 batters. Turnbull\'s big issue is his sinker, which allowed a .349 average against and a 92.1 average exit velocity against. Veteran starter Ivan Nova had one of his worst seasons for the White Sox last year. He allowed 225 hits, a league high. He had a 4.72 ERA with just 114 strikeouts in 187 innings for a 5.5 K/9, which was not the lowest of his career. To show how bad Nova was, he was in the bottom half of the league in all of the following categories: exit velocity against, hard hit percentage, xwOBA, xERA, xBA, xSLG, barrel percentage, K%, Whiff%, fastball velocity, fastball spin and curve spin. Expensive veteran Jordan Zimmermann has been terrible in all four of his seasons in Detroit. He had a 6.91 ERA in 23 starts last year. In his Tigers career, Zimmermann has a 5.61 ERA and 6.4 K/9 in 508.2 innings. Zimmermann, like Nova, is in the bottom half of the league in all of the previously mentioned categories, except for fastball spin, as he just barely escapes, falling in the 51st percentile. Daniel Norris is always injured. He is still only 26, and the lefty had a 4.49 ERA in 144.1 innings last year. It was the most he\'s pitched in an MLB season, in his sixth year overall. Norris had an average velocity against of 90.2 mph, in the bottom six percent of the league. Non-roster invitee Hector Santiago has a 4.14 ERA in 257 career games (139 starts) with 826 strikeouts in 920.2 innings over nine years for four different teams. For the Mets and White Sox last year, Santiago had a 6.68 ERA with 40 Ks in 33.2 innings. He will likely make the bullpen.
There are not many guaranteed spots in the Tigers bullpen. After Shane Greene was traded at the deadline, Joe Jimenez stepped in as closer. A 2018 all-star, Jimenez converted nine saves with a 4.37 ERA and 82 strikeouts in 59.2 innings. His fastball (2528) has a much better spin rate than his slider (2329). Former starter Buck Farmer had a productive season as a reliever. He pitched in 73 games, striking out 73 in 67.2 innings with a 3.72 ERA. Farmer had a career high 25.3% K rate. Nick Ramirez is in camp as a non-roster invitee, but he was a vital part of the bullpen last year. Ramirez pitched in 79.2 innings over 46 games as a 29 year old rookie last year. He struck out 74 and had a 4.07 ERA. Ramirez does not throw hard, with a fastball averaging 90.1 mph (he throws a cutter averaging 86.7 mph more often). However, he can limit hard contact with an 86 miles per hour average exit velocity. Swingman Gregory Soto played in 33 games (seven starts), with a 5.77 ERA and 7 K/9. Him being a lefty helps his case for the roster. He was one of seven AL pitchers to commit three errors. Soto\'s .298 xBA was awful. Jose Cisnero played for the Astros from 2013-2014, and made his return to the MLB in 2019, with a 4.33 ERA and 40 strikeouts in 35.1 innings. Cisnero throws a mid-to-high-90s fastball. The Tigers used the first overall pick in the Rule-5 draft on Rony Garcia. He had a 4.01 ERA with 129 strikeouts in 130.1 innings for High-A Tampa and AA Trenton (Yankees system). Both Tyler Alexander and Zack Godley are the starter/reliever-type. Alexander is a lefty, while Godley has more experience and his right-handed. Alexander had a 4.86 ERA in 53.2 innings. Godley had a 6.39 ERA for the D-Backs last year, but joined the Blue Jays late last year. He had a 3.94 ERA in 16 innings for Toronto. He had a 3.37 ERA with 165 strikeouts in 155 innings in 2017. Godley throws his curveball over 40% of the time, showing that he could be best-suited for a relief role. David McKay debuted at age 24 for Seattle before being waived and claimed by the Tigers in August. Combined, McKay had a 5.47 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 26.1 innings. His curveball has a great spin rate of 3054. The Tigers could give the last spot to young of their young arms in Casey Mize or Matt Manning. Or, the could go with starter Dario Agrazal. Debuting for the Pirates last year, Agrazal made 14 starts (plus one relief appearance) with a 4.91 ERA. His K/9 of 5.0 was one of the lowest in the league.
The Tigers signed Austin Romine to a one year deal so he will finally get his chance to be a starting catcher. He had a career high .281 average and .748 OPS for the Yankees last year. Now sporting a beard like other former Yankees before him, Romine hit the ball hard a good 40% of the time last year. With John Hicks gone, the catching depth is not as good as it used to be. Jake Rogers is an elite defender but hit .125 in 35 games last year. Rogers made MLB Pipeline\'s all defense team two times, but missed out to the A\'s Sean Murphy this year. Rogers threw out 49.3 percent of runners in his minor league career. Grayson Greiner played in 58 games last year, with a .202 average and .559 OPS. He may be on the 3-man squad that must require a catcher, as Rogers stays as the backup.
Miguel Cabrera will be a Hall of Famer and the Tigers will eventually retire his number 24. The two time MVP and Triple Crown winner had a .937 OPS and .315 average in 1680 games for the team. Unfortunately, they might be best without Cabrera and his lengthy contract right now. Cabrera had a respectable .282 average last year, but he hit just 12 home runs in 136 games, and his .744 OPS was the second lowest of his career. Cabrera can still hit the ball hard, with an average exit velocity of 90.3 mph. The Tigers signed a pair of veterans from the Twins in CJ Cron and Jonathan Schoop. Cron and Cabrera will alternate at first base and DH. Cron hit 25 home runs with a career high 78 RBIs last year. He hit .253 with a .780 OPS. His OPS+ was barely above average, at 103. Cron\'s 15% barrel percentage was a career high. Schoop, a former 32 home run hitter, hit 23 bombs last year, with a .256 average and .777 OPS. With five outs above average, Schoop is a good defender at second base. Schoop and Cron are very welcome additions who have played in the division before. The rest of the infield is where things get tricky. Jordy Mercer hit .270 with a .747 OPS last year, but he may not make the team. Utility man Niko Goodrum is trying to settle on one position, and that may be at short. Goodrum hit 12 home runs and stole 12 bases with a .743 OPS last year. Goodrum had a combined eight outs above average at seven different positions last year, with six of them at short. He is fast, with a 29.0 ft/s sprint speed. The third base job is between Jeimer Candelario and Dawel Lugo, who are both out of options. Candelario hit 19 home runs in 2018, but hit just eight last season, with a .203 average and .643 OPS. Lugo hit six home runs with a .652 OPS last year. Harold Castro seems to be a lock as a utility infielder. He hit .291 with five homers and six stolen bases in 97 games, but he had a .689 OPS. He isn\'t a great fielder, with -3 outs above average, but he can play a lot of positions.
The Tigers brought back Cameron Maybin on a one year deal. The journeyman is entering his third stint as a Tiger. He hit a career high 11 home runs with nine stolen bases, a .285 average and .858 OPS in 82 games for the Yankees last year. His sprint speed has slightly decreased, but he still fast, at 28.7 ft/s. In 88 games, JaCoby Jones also hit 11 home runs, with seven stolen bases and a .740 OPS last year. Jones hit the ball surprisingly hard, for an average of 91.3 mph. Victor Reyes had a solid season. The 25-year-old played in 69 games, hitting three home runs with nine stolen bases, plus a .304 average. Reyes is really fast for a guy who is six feet tall and five inches, with a 28.9 sprint speed. Former first rounder Christin Stewart hit 10 home runs last year, but still had a .693 OPS. He is a bad fielder, with -7 outs above average. Travis Demeritte was acquired for Shane Greene at the deadline. He started off his Tigers career strong, with a .291 average and .822 OPS 22 games in. He struggled the rest of the way, with three home runs, three stolen bases and a .225 average plus a .630 OPS. He played in 48 total games. Four of Demeritte\'s five hits in Spring Training were home runs.

Despite their awful records in previous years, the Tigers haven\'t actually started off the season terribly in recent years, although their 2019 record through 60 games says otherwise. But, they are just really, really bad. Their pitching staff is just an open audition, the lineup has some decent players at the top of it but falls off quickly, and while they have a lot of competition for roster spots, that is because no one is good enough to blow anyone away. The Tigers will show the world once again in 2020 that they are one of the worst teams in baseball, if not the worst.

Belonging both to the European and inter-American courts of human rights case-law, positive obligations are defined as a duty for states to effectively secure the rights and freedoms set out in regional conventions. As a judicial product, these obligations are the result of a dynamic interpretation of the 1950 and 1969 conventions. The judges have to determine their existence and their impact which might exceed the vertical dimension of human rights. According to the European and inter-American decisions, positive obligations impose on States the duty to prevent any violations of human rights but also to investigate and punish the perpetrator or perpetrators of those violations. This double content -material obligations and procedural obligations- seems to a certain extente to condition on the control exercised by judges on obligations which remain obligations of means for States.


Gabriel Garcia adds value again to the REI Classroom Show with Mike Hambright by flipnerd.com. KPI's, or key performance indicators, are important as they tell you how you're doing. You need to know how you're doing now so that you can analyze where you want to be in the future. Let's dive right into Lesson #554. Enjoy!
From the number of leads generated to your profit margins to your ROI, you need to be tracking your progress on a regular basis so that you know how your business is performing.
Gabriel: KPIs stand for key performance indicators. Basically they're just numbers that tell you how you're doing. They're your report card when you go to school. It's your report card for your business. You need to know this because you need to know where you are so you can know, how can I say it? In order for you to know where you're going, you need to know where you are. That's the starting point.
In a business in order to get where you're going you need to plan. If you don't have the data of where you are, you can't plan forward because you just have no data to give you the information that you need. A lot of times in the beginning you just make up numbers. Well, I think I'm averaging five properties a month. You think, or you know? I mean if you do the numbers, you'd be surprised that maybe you're averaging seven properties a month. Maybe you're averaging three properties a month. You really want to look at the numbers.
Here are the KPIs. These are the ones that you have to absolutely know. You need to know what you're spending in marketing either weekly, monthly. I would say at least monthly would the minimum requirement. You need to know how many leads you're generating. We look at leads that we generate on a weekly basis, and we look at them monthly, and we look at them quarterly, and we look at them annually.
You want to look at appointments. I mean everything for us is the same. We look at everything on a weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly basis. You want to look at how many appointments you've gone on. If you just sell on the phone then maybe you don't need this metric. But, if you're going out on appointments and tying up contracts in sellers' homes, you want to see how many appointments you're going on and you want to see what your conversion ratio is. For instance if I tell you hey man if you go on 10 appointments how many contracts are you going to get on average, you need to know what your conversion ratio is. Are you tying up 4 out of 10? Are you tying up 3 out of 10? Are you tying up 1 out of 10?
Another valuable part is you can look at what other businesses have to know if you're either doing better than other businesses or you're doing way worse. I had a friend call me not too long ago and told me he was converting 1 out of every 200 leads into a contract. I'm like man that's crazy because we convert 1 out of every 30. He knew he had a serious problem. He had his data, so that's why he was able to tell. You need to know this information.
Next is contracts. You need to know how many contracts you're getting, same thing — weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly. You want to look at your gross profit. What's your gross profit? You want to look at what your business profit margin is. If you're grossing for the year $200,000 or $500,000 or $1 million or $3 million, you want to look at how much percent of that do you actually keep before taxes. How much of that is net? You want to know what your profit margin is. That's a big indicator of maybe you have too much overhead. Maybe you're not getting the juice out of the employees that you need.
The next thing is average profit. You want to see what your average profit is. If you know that you want to do $1 million in business this year, well the first thing you need to know is what's your average profit going to be per deal.
The next thing you want to know is projections. You want to have projections to know okay well how much properties do I have on the books that close this month and how many properties do I have on the books that close this quarter. You want to know that because that's also going to tell you hey through my planning if I want to make $1 million and next month I've got 50K on the books, you've got to do something quick to start getting properties on the books real fast. You need to start making some phone calls, go knocking on doors, whatever it is. That's mainly the stuff for the KPIs that you need to know. There's more in-depth KPIs you can look at.
The only other ones I'll go over really are for marketing because you need some more in-depth marketing KPIs to make marketing decisions. Those KPIs are the basic ones which is your cost per deal, your cost per lead, your ROI, your leads per deal, and your response rate. I think response rate is the least important out of all of them. Most people look at response rate and think oh it's so amazing I've got 10% response rate. It's irrelevant compared to your ROI. That's the most important one, so look at that.
You want to have that itemized by each lead source that you're looking at. If you're doing tax delinquents, probates, all that stuff, you want to have all these marketing KPIs done per your lead source and for any split tests you're doing. If you've done five different split tests for your probate campaigns, you want to have these metrics for all of them so you can make good marketing decisions as to hey this month I want to do with my postcard campaign because it's giving me a better ROI. My cost per deal is a lot less money than my other split tests. That's the most important stuff you need for marketing.
Yeah, you need your KPIs to run your business. You need it to make decisions. If you don't have them, get to work.

Is there a way to scan websites externally for the recent PHP CGI flaw?
Does anybody know of a means to externally scan your websites to see if they might be running a PHP setup that is vulnerable to this problem?
Seems like a waste to me since if all the sites are on the same server you will only need to check one site, not all of them. Assuming they are on different servers, a script like that should be helpful.
Anyone else have a better idea?
# Workaround for CVE-2012-1823: strip query strings with no = signs.
This will strip off any query string that doesn't contain at least one = sign. As long as you have no oddball scripts that rely on such query strings (which, say, a normal for submission will never generate), it should not break anything. Note that using dummy query strings for cache busting is not affected, since this is an internal rewrite.
As FastCGI is not vulnerable to this, then the simplest way to fix it in most cases is to switch from CGI to FastCGI (providing your app can run OK on FastCGI, and your server has enough RAM).
As far as i can make out, there's no simple way to tell remotely whether you're running FastCGI or CGI (see this discussion on StackOverflow), so the easiest way to do this would be to go your hosting control panel and check the settings there.
Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged php security or ask your own question.

About Us Focus Areas Impact Stories Newsroom Who We Support
The Charles Koch Foundation supports innovative education and the study of the institutions that enable a society of mutual benefit, where people succeed by helping others improve their lives.
Through grants to universities and non-profit organizations, we connect students and scholars with the resources to explore diverse ideas and solutions that meet the challenges of our day.
Our Approach to Partnership
We believe that society's challenges are best addressed by social entrepreneurs — faculty, students, administrators, and nonprofit leaders — who have first-hand knowledge of a problem, a vision for solving it, and a passion for working with others to drive lasting change.
We aim to empower. Behind each of our grants is a partner with a vision. The freedom to drive their idea wherever it may take them is essential to discovery.
We form partnerships based on a shared vision and complementary capabilities, bringing our network, knowledge, research, and more to every relationship.
We publish, and celebrate, all major gifts. This knowledge-sharing improves collaboration and brings the important work of our partners to the attention of other potential funders.
Our Giving Standards
Our Giving Standards and principles are based on our core belief that academic independence and openness are a pre-condition for scientific progress.
Partners call the shots.
Each proposal we support is developed by a social entrepreneur with a vision. Their freedom to experiment, analyze, and research wherever it may take them is essential to the discovery that we hope results from our support.essential to the discovery that we hope results from our support.
We respond to every proposal in a timely fashion and are excited to support research that explores the key challenges of society and that will drive innovation in postsecondary education.
We structure our gifts to support our partners' vision and ensure their independence.
We're flexible and responsive to input from partners. We're not constrained by funding tiers or application windows and are always interested in new approaches, methodologies, and academic arguments.
We streamline our application process to make it easier for partners to share their ideas with us, allowing them to invest their time and energy into their work, rather than applications for support.
Partners provide the environment for discovery.
We're excited to support hundreds of partners, ranging from liberal arts and hybrid colleges to R1 universities and non-profits. Each grant we make follows the partner's standard procedures when it comes to hiring, curriculum, peer review, and other policies.
We work with universities, non-profits, and other partners to maintain the highest standards of academic freedom and to foster an environment of challenge and open inquiry.
We celebrate a Republic of Science in which universities are in a unique position to foster. We also provide resources to schools to expand the experiences they are able to offer.
We embody our guiding principles, which include humility and respect, in every partnership.
Openness brings opportunities.
To help make potential grantees aware of opportunities and to maximize public benefit, we share news of all our major gifts. This knowledge sharing improves collaboration, offering others the possibility to build on the work of the social entrepreneurs we support.
Our major gifts grant agreement template is available so potential grantees can see how we operate.
We publish the grant agreements for all our major, multi-year gifts to universities.
Society benefits.
The goal of our philanthropy is to remove the barriers that prevent people from reaching their potential.The social entrepreneurs we support are tackling some of the toughest challenges of our time.
We analyze grants based on their potential to solve problems that are holding us back from being a society characterized by equal rights and mutual benefit, where people succeed by helping others improve their lives. This work includes helping students develop the critical thinking skills necessary to tackle society's future challenges.
As challenges change over time, we may issue requests for proposals to that reflect where we see an opportunity to address timely issues. We are always open to new ideas, whether they are responsive to a specific RFP.
We evaluate proposals based on criteria that include relevance, research rigor, applicant excellence in the field of study, contribution to student experience, stakeholder and institutional support, and the potential future growth of the work.
Our Commitment.
To demonstrate our commitment to these principles and standards, these are some important practices we employ:
Detail our application process and explain what we don't fund when it falls outside our vision to give grantees a better understanding of how we work.
Inviting regular feedback and conducting a survey of grantee impressions of working with the Charles Koch Foundation. These efforts will improve our processes and identify new opportunities.
Host regular forums for grantees to collaborate and provide Foundation staff with feedback that can help them better identify projects with the greatest potential to advance our vision.
explore our giving
Our support benefits more than 350 programs at over 200 organizations.
Major Grant Agreements
We publish the agreements for all of our major, multiple-year grants to colleges and universities.
We publicly disclose our financial information as a tax-exempt organization.
Applying for Support
The Charles Koch Foundation seeks to empower our partners to spend more time on their project than they do on grant administration.
CKF has an open, rolling application process, which means we welcome proposals for research and educational programs throughout the year. Applicants are asked to submit a brief (1-3 page) abstract that explains how their project will advance inquiry on a pressing challenge; a CV or résumé; and a brief itemized budget. Proposals related to the Foundation's vision and focus areas are selected for further review
assessing proposals
Proposals chosen for consideration undergo a review process focused on the proposed project's relevance to the appropriate field of inquiry or practice, as well as the applicant's capacity to complete the project in a timely fashion and at a high level of quality.
The Foundation provides applicants with timely decisions based on four key factors.
Vision: Does the project contribute to a society of mutual benefit where people succeed by helping others improve their lives?
Quality: Does the project meet the standards of its field? Has the applicant demonstrated potential or past excellence in the corresponding field of study or practice?
Impact: Can the applicant articulate how the project has potential to improve the lives of others?
Sustainability: If necessary, is the project likely to receive the additional support necessary for the applicant to build on their progress?
ineligible programs
Requests for funding that fall outside of the Foundation's vision or giving practices are declined at the selection stage. Among other items, the Foundation is not able to support:
Percentage-based overhead costs
Applied Research and Development
Cultural exchange programs
Lobbying activity

Back to All Attack Library
Hijacked Email Thread Used to Send Executive Link to Password-Protected Malware
An old email thread is hijacked and used to send a link to likely malware payload.
In this attack, the attacker hijacked an old email thread to send an executive a link to a likely malicious file. In the hijacked conversation, the recipient and another employee discussed the status of invoices from 2019 and 2020. The intention is for the recipient to erroneously assume that the file referenced in the attack is just another invoice based on the context of the other files shared in the thread.
Because the attack used a hijacked thread, it's likely that one of the employees' email accounts had been previously compromised. A password is provided in the email, which is required to "access" the file, but in reality, using a password-protected file is meant to bypass malware detection.
The attacker uses the executive's name for the email display name, but the email address used appears to be an unrelated external compromised account. The display name makes the email appear as if the recipient has sent it to themselves, despite the most recent email containing the file link being more logically understood as sent from the other employee.
Why It Bypassed Traditional Security
By using a legitimate compromised email account, the attacker eliminates the potential for a traditional SEG to identify a malicious email address or domain and block it. The URL found in the email is one that has not been previously detected as malicious, allowing it to bypass traditional tools that rely on known bad indicators.
Detecting the Attack
Integration with the Microsoft API allows an email security solution to use ActiveDirectory to process the organizational chart and understand VIP emails to know when an executive is being impersonated via display name deception.
Risk to Organization
If the target clicks on the link in the email, malware would be downloaded to their computer. Once the malware is installed, attackers can perform a variety of nefarious actions, including escalating it into a ransomware attack. Incorporating legitimate content such as the hijacked email thread into a malicious email makes it more likely that it will succeed if it reaches its intended recipient.
