Test project in Zanzibar uses spray drones to combat malaria
By admin On Nov 8, 2019
In Zanzibar, an island on the east coast of Africa, a pilot project has been started in which spray drones are used to combat malaria. According to the initiators, drones could be an important weapon in the fight against the disease, which causes more than 450,000 deaths every year.
For the pilot project in Zanzibar, a team of entomologists, experts in the field of insects, is working together with drone manufacturer DJI. An MG1-S Agras drone was adapted to spray mosquito-infested rice paddies with the non-toxic and biodegradable Aquatain AMF, a silicone-based liquid.
The liquid is dropped above the stagnant water of the rice fields, the breeding ground of mosquitoes, after which a wafer-thin layer is placed on the water surface. This prevents the mosquito larvae from breathing at the surface of the water, causing them to drown and die.
With the project, the researchers want to demonstrate that drones can be an efficient weapon in the fight against malaria, the disease that affects more than 200 million people every year and claims hundreds of thousands of lives. Before, during and after the spraying, the effect on the mosquito population and the impact of spray drones on the irrigation systems of the larger rice fields that can be found throughout Africa are measured.
According to Dr Bart Knols, the scientist leading the project, spray drones are essential to effectively treat large rice fields against the malaria mosquito: "Spraying the fields by hand is far too time-consuming. Using helicopters on the other hand is too expensive and simply not realistic". By tackling the malaria problem, not only will fewer people become victims of the disease, but according to the researchers it will also lead to greater harvests, which could provide new economic perspectives in Africa.
After the pilot project, the researchers will publish their findings in scientific journals.

New report suggests in-office working may become a thing of the past as demand for flexible office space in London rises.
5,000 company bosses believe more than half of employees will work from home in the future according to the Virgin Media Business study.
Within the next decade more than half of all employees will work from home – that's the message from the latest Virgin Media Business study which interviewed 5,000 company bosses across a range of industries.
In addition to the introduction of more flexible office space in London, the report found that 72% of bosses also believed that meeting in person could soon become outdated and unnecessary. The report goes on to say that a large number of businesses are already putting flexible working methods into practice in anticipation of the changes.
More than 30% of businesses said installing super-fast broadband was now their number one priority as they prepared for employees to regularly work away from the office.
The anticipated rise of flexible office space in London is guaranteed to be welcomed by commuters – more than 60% said they expected to be commuting less thanks to new technology which has been designed to make working from home easier than ever.
The new report comes in direct contrast to a recent study which found that the majority of staff would rather work in the office than at home. UnWork.com's Annual Survey revealed that more than half of workers want to be seen in the office, while 72% of the 1,200 global executives interviewed said there is a low demand from staff members to work from flexible office space in London.

Hunch Takes $12 Million From Khosla Ventures, Adds Former Facebook CFO To Board Of Directors
Recommendation engine Hunch confirms that they've raised a new round of financing – $12 million – led by Khosla Ventures. Partner Gideon Yu, who joined Khosla Ventures last year, was previously the CFO of Facebook. He is now joining Hunch's board of directors as part of the deal. Hunch was valued at $52 million in the round.
I spoke to cofounder Caterina Fake this evening about the round. Fake says that Hunch, which is less than a year old, now has lots of data to work with in making recommendations. In fact, she says, users have answered nearly 50 million questions on Hunch since launch, and the company can use that data to make better and better recommendations.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales joined the company's board of directors in late 2009.

Die HMCS Bonaventure (CVL 22) war ein Flugzeugträger der Majestic-Klasse der kanadischen Marine, der vor dem Verkauf an Kanada als Powerful der Royal Navy gehörte. Es war der letzte Flugzeugträger Kanadas.

Geschichte
Das Schiff wurde als Powerful am 21. November 1943 bei Harland & Wolff in Belfast auf Kiel gelegt und am 27. Februar 1945 vom Stapel gelassen. Die Arbeit an dem Träger wurde nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs ausgesetzt und bis zum Verkauf an Kanada 1952 nicht wiederaufgenommen. Die kanadische Marine erwarb den Träger als Ersatz für die veralteten leichteren Träger Warrior und Magnificent, die als zu klein und zu langsam für das Zeitalter der modernen Kampfflugzeuge galten. Es wurden einige überschüssige Träger der Royal Navy und der United States Navy in Betracht gezogen, und so fiel die Wahl 1952 schließlich auf die Powerful, ein Schiff der Majestic-Klasse der britischen Marine. Voraussetzung war, dass das Schiff ein schräg angeordnetes Flugdeck sowie ein Flugzeugkatapult erhielt.

Der Träger wurde nach Bonaventure Island, einem Vogelschutzgebiet im Sankt-Lorenz-Golf, benannt. Er wurde am 17. Januar 1957 nach der Beendigung der Modernisierungsmaßnahmen in den aktiven Dienst bei der kanadischen Marine übergeben. Das neue Flaggschiff der Kanadier, das den liebevollen Spitznamen "Bonnie" bekam, trug 34 Fluggeräte vom Typ McDonnell F2H Banshee (Jagdflugzeug) und Grumman S-2 (U-Jagd-Flugzeug), sowie von der De Havilland Aircraft Company in Toronto gebaute Sikorsky S-55-Hubschrauber.

Selbst nach der Modernisierung des Schiffes war die Landung einer Banshee auf dem relativ kurzen Flugdeck der Bonaventure ein riskantes Manöver. Während kanadische Piloten es bereits routinemäßig beherrschten, war es beispielsweise für US-amerikanische Piloten, die weniger Übung auf kleineren Decks hatten, ungleich schwieriger. Viele dieser Piloten lehnten es daher ab, im Rahmen gemeinsamer Operationen auf der Bonaventure zu landen. Die über eine große Flügelspannweite verfügenden Grumman-S-2-U-Boot-Jagdflugzeuge hatten auch nur knapp Platz auf dem Flugdeck. Trotz dieser Schwierigkeiten konnte die Bonaventure im Jahr 1958 bereits Dauereinsätze fahren, bei denen rund um die Uhr immer vier Grumman S-2 und zwei Sikorsky S-55 in der Luft waren, die einen Bereich von etwa 518 km² abdecken konnten. Dies machte die kanadische Marine neben der US-amerikanischen zur einzigen Seestreitmacht der Welt, die zu diesem Zeitpunkt dauerhafte Einsätze luftgestützter Kräfte über längere Zeit fahren konnte.

Die Außerdienststellung der Banshees im Jahr 1962 führte dazu, dass die Bonaventure 1964 einige der neuen Sikorsky-S-61-Sea-King-Hubschrauber in ihr Arsenal aufnehmen konnte. 1966 legte das Schiff in Québec an, um weiter modernisiert zu werden. Diese zweite Modernisierungsmaßnahme dauerte achtzehn Monate. Der Träger wurde nur drei Jahre nach dieser letzten Überholung am 3. Juli 1970 in Halifax außer Dienst gestellt und 1971 in Taiwan abgewrackt.

From the Scott Ritter link I posted a few posts ago:
my guess is rate or timing of dispersion except the case of an air burst the projectile has in theory landed before exploding and hence any gas in the air around it has dispersed whereas a projectile in air and not going through gas may have the same properties as that of passing through a chemical stockpile I guess. so the real question is how to differentiate an air blast version from it passing through it and dispersing it, that probably would come down to explosion timing etc.. of course, nobody makes them in theory under agreement so who knows.

We're all arm-chair combatants here, but Sarin is hard to produce, and has a short shelf life.
Connect the dots.

I am wavering, a bit, in my skepticism, but not a lot. I am doubtful of Turkish analysis of samples, patients, and corpses, which are claimed to prove that Sarin was involved. Erdoğan would love to see Assad fall. Then he could spend more of his time killing Kurds and repressing Turks.

There are at least two ways to look at this. Sarin is easy to produce, there are a couple dozen paths from precursors to the final product and some weaponized versions do the final mixing while the shells are in flight. It's hard to handle the precursors. In other words, without a good lab you are more likely to kill yourself than someone else.
But, all around the internet you will see people saying that it's difficult to make. (it isn't) or that you would need huge amounts to cause the damage we are seeing (you don't the LD50 is .1mg/kg when inhaled. and large quantities are easy to produce by nation states. Iraq claimed to have 750 tons! of the stuff in the 80s.)
You are right however that it has a short shelf-life. And your point about it being hard to produce is true if you are talking about someone trying to produce it in a kitchen or in a war-zone. However, any semi-skilled chemist could produce it in sufficient quantities in a high school chemistry class, if they had access to the raw materials.
It would also be important to remember that even if you've made a sufficient quantity of the stuff--however much your heart and checkbook desire--you still have a product that is only good for spraying out of a bug sprayer, or, as a japanese cult might do, filling a trashbag with pressurized air and a little sarin and then poking holes in it with an umbrella. As long as you have a crowded subway to work with, you are in business.
Weaponized sarin (and other chemical weapons) requires the use of weapons that really aren't good for other kinds of killing. So they aren't in high demand. Why waste time and effort to try to kill a couple hundred people if you are lucky, when an AK-47 costs a couple dollars and Eastern Bloc ammunition is around 2 cents per round?

And it's both the Left and the Right who fall for this trap.
One possible way would be if the bomb landed on open ground, which would probably be what you'd want for deploying a chemical weapon. Of course, anyone who was "within spitting distance" of a conventional bomb detonation would not be likely to live to tell the tale, unless they were sheltered, so not in a position to see the blast.
I've seen surprisingly little about what was actually hit in the attack. I've seen reports of houses being hit, and of a subsequent attack hitting a hospital where the gassing victims were being treated. And, alas, very few of the victims, survivors or not, seem to have had names...
Meanwhile, my febrile imagination has dreamed up another possible scenario for a chemical attack by the regime:
Grunt: "Commander! My cousin Achmed at the munitions store just found an old chemical bomb misplaced among the high explosive ordinance. What should we do with it?"
Commander: "Drop it on the enemy."
I'm just going to leave this here.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/mit-exper...100819428.html
Dr. Postol's assessment may be found here. I have had less success trying to find the report he's assessing, though I did find the press briefing.
The crater depicted in the assessment does look like a metal cylinder was crushed by an explosion from without. If that was the origin of the nerve agent, it would clearly indicate a deliberate release on open ground, rather than a bomb hitting agents stored in a structure -- the scenario that has been flogged repeatedly in this thread. As an improvised release, blasting open a pipeful of poison would be a lot less risky to the perps than the simple-minded "Brave Volunteer" idea I had floated earlier.
It's a shame there's no indication of where the victims actually fell, because that would either validate or negate the hypothesis of the crater being the release site.
However, in an addendum to the report, Dr. Postol indicates that the crater was likely not where a significant quantity of Sarin was released.
Figure 1 shows a man standing in the alleged sarin-release crater. He is wearing a honeycomb facemask that is designed to filter small particles from the air. Other apparel on him is an open necked cloth shirt and what appear to be medical exam gloves.
Two other men are standing in front of him (on the left in the photograph) also wearing honeycomb facemask's and medical exam gloves.
If there were any sarin present at this location when this photograph was taken everybody in the photograph would have received a lethal or debilitating dose of sarin.
The fact that these people were dressed so inadequately either suggests a complete ignorance of the basic measures needed to protect an individual from sarin poisoning, or that they knew that the site was not seriously contaminated.
This is the crater that is the centerpiece evidence provided in the WHR for a sarin attack delivered by a Syrian aircraft.
... of which it obviously is obviously not evidence.

Guilty as charged. I saw speculations about "staging." I considered that a strong possibility, but how it happened was less obvious early on. I suppose that explaining the "bombing run," which is alleged as the source, is an added attraction for the "supply depot" scheme.
I am all too amenable to False Flag theories. I try to hold more conspiratorial ideas to tighter standards to control this tendency. That said, there is more evidence now which suggests a contrived event. It did always seem strange that White Helmets, whom I believe have promoted the "gas bomb from a plane" account, were handling supposed Sarin victims without HasMat precautions, or even gloves.
The smart mass killer would grow some Castor Oil plants (the fastest growing plant known to man) and harvest the seeds. Extract the oil, and then introduce the by-product into the human food supply.
Do you mean "cold press" the oil out (like for olives) or just normal procedure (roasting, which destroys the toxin). There may be a big difference, hehe. We are just trying to see in which direction to train our humor detector, i.e. are you suggesting a clever way to kill people, or accusing some major food suppliers of killing people? (as the respective stuff is already an important additive to a lot of foods).
[We had to google that, as we only knew it under the name "ricin oil" (which is [ritchin] as in Latin, and not [raisin] as the English is laming it) and we used to mix a lot of it with ethyl ether and other dishonest liquids and use it as a fuel for aeromodels, about 30-40 years ago (it has very good lubricating properties for the respective micro-engines we used at the time). We never eat it raw or intentionally, consciously... We may try once in the future. ]

A jury has determined the Indians are not responsible for injuries sustained by a fan who was hit by a foul ball and partially blinded, Cleveland.com reported Tuesday.
According to the report, 46-year-old Keith Rawlins of Rochester, N.Y., won't be awarded any money from the organization for the injuries suffered while attending the July 20, 2012 game against the Orioles at Progressive Field.
Rawlins claimed he was distracted from the game as ushers asked fans to move for the postgame fireworks show, though the team insisted he moved voluntarily.
Rawlins suffered a fractured eye socket, nose and sinus and was left blind in his left eye after being struck by a foul ball traveling about 95 miles per hour. According to Fox8 Cleveland , he racked up nearly $50,000 in medical bills after undergoing 10 hours of surgery.

CFParticipation: Games on Games project

Games on Games project « G|A|M|E.
The Games on Games project originates from the hypothesis that it is possible and fruitful to critique videogames and their related themes by adopting their own forms, mechanics and languages. The meta-referential intention to transpose scientific research from written word to the playing field opens up a range of different challenges, such as:
Is it always necessary to employ verbal languages to produce texts on games and their related practices and cultures? Or is it possible to create meta-pieces, "Games on Games," reflecting on some aspects of play using ludic mechanics and conventions?
What are the distinctive characteristics of Games on Games? What are their limits and their argumentative, rhetoric and persuasive potentialities? Are Games on Games able to highlight some elements of play practices more effectively than traditional texts? Can they make visible some characteristics of ludic practices that could otherwise remain undervalued or even invisible?
Acknowledging that the field of the Games on Games project is almost unexplored, G|A|M|E opens this call to test its potentialities and to map its boundaries. We invite the submission of Games on Games that elaborate on the practices and cultures of computer gaming (playing, designing, developing…) using procedural media.
There are no other limitations on the theme (aside from traditional obscenity and indecency guidelines), on the gameplay and graphical quality. Every submission must include a short documentation to facilitate the comprehension and the evaluation of the game, describing the objectives and the characteristics – there is no maximum length but this description needs to be in English, with a minimum of 1800 characters. It is also recommended that other multimedia supporting material, such as schemas, images, storyboards, design documents, gameplay video be attached.
The call is open with no hard deadline. All the contributions received will be advertised through G|A|M|E after they pass a first evaluation by the Editorial Committee and the Scientific Committee that will remove off-topic and inadequate submissions (such as incomplete gameplay, poor quality, etc.).
Each of the eligible games will be forwarded to an international panel of game development experts to select the pieces to be presented at a public event and published in a special issue of G|A|M|E about Games on Games. The special issue will be published online and will offer free access to the selected games through direct download or link. Each piece will be accompanied by the supporting documentation (design documents, storyboard, images, etc.) and by two critical comments – one by the author and one by a scholar selected by G|A|M|E.
Submissions that pass the first selection but not the second will nonetheless be mentioned and linked to in a special section. Please note that we will only accept full games, and not demo or incomplete works.
As for the technical part, we have set no limitation to the development tools that participants can use. The same applies to the file format you might choose to submit. However, in order to grant the proper accessibility to potential players, we recommend that participants provide – when possible – formats suitable for both Windows and Mac OS X. In this regard, software such as Unity, GameMaker and Adobe Flash (including all the tools capable of producing a swf file – i.e. Stencyl) represent a good choice. Of course, other software is welcome.

The Firebird: From Russian Folk Tale to Ballet
The ballet is based on the Russian folk tale of the Firebird, which Igor Stravinsky used as inspiration in his score. The Firebird ballet tells the story of Prince Ivan who defeats the evil Kastchei with the help of the Firebird, who offers one of her enchanted feathers to Prince Ivan after he spares her life while hunting in the forest. The feather is later used by Prince Ivan to summon the Firebird when he needs her help as Kastchei's creatures chase after him. The Firebird's magic makes Kastchei and his creatures fall into a deep sleep so that Prince Ivan can destroy the egg that contains Kastchei's immortal soul, freeing everyone under his spell including 13 princesses, one of whom Prince Ivan falls in love with.
Stravinsky was not first choice for Sergei Diaghilev, the director of Ballets Russes, a Paris-based ballet company, to compose the music for the ballet. Diaghilev's first choice was Anatoly Lyadov, known for his orchestral piece The Enchanted Lake. It is rumored Lyadov had "composer's block" and was unable to write any music for The Firebird; however, it is unconfirmed whether Lyadov accepted the task of composing the music in the first place. In the end, it was the 28-year-old Stravinsky who completed the task. The Firebird premiered in 1910, performed at the Paris Opera by the Ballets Russes, and was choreographed by Michel Fokine. The Firebird's popularity marked the first international success of Stravinsky's career, and today The Firebird continues to be performed as a ballet and as a standalone orchestral suite.

Q: What is the meaning of the priceRange property in Schema.org? What does the property priceRange mean in Schema.org?
https://schema.org/priceRange
I don't understand what is mean that, I live in Kazakhstan, maybe my culture or language does not give clear. Can you give me example for Kazakhstan country, where we use tenge currency.

A: The Schema.org property priceRange gives the range of approximate prices of the products/services typically offered by that LocalBusiness.
There seem to be two formats used in examples:

*

*Specify as many currency symbols as there are digits in the price. So for prices from 100 to 999, you would use ₸₸₸; for prices from 10 to 99, you would use ₸₸ etc.
(used in example 4 on LocalBusiness)

*Specify the actual range, e.g. for prices from 90 to 240, then you would use 90 ₸ - 240 ₸ etc.
(used in example 1 on Hotel)
In the issue priceRange property is ambiguous, this property gets discussed (it might get deprecated in the future, or at least defined more clearly, but we'll have to see).

As man flu stopped me from doing any "meaningful work" this weekend, I took the opportunity to have a play with the Minecraft Python API for the Raspberry Pi, especially since on Saturday I've had a refresher course at the Cambridge Raspberry Jam (CamJam) with the very Craig Richardson, who maintains a great Python/Minecraft blog and is going to publish a book on the topic soon.
If you haven't heard of Minecraft and don't have children, you can stop reading now. For people with children up to the teenage years, it's likely that you're actually facing a certain degree of Minecraft craze in your house already. Whatever it is that turns our children into hole digging, coal mining and house building computer addicts, it's very powerful. To quote loosely from a presentation by Craig at a recent CamJam, in his experience as a teacher, if you simply add the word "Minecraft" to any exercise, the children double their effort and focus.
Mojang, the company who makes Minecraft, provides a free-to-download version of Minecraft for the Raspberry Pi as well as a set of libraries representing a Python API. This is meant as incentive for children to learn Python, and programmatically interact with the Minecraft world. There is a lot of information out there and on Craig's blog there are plenty of links to projects that people have created with the API.
My two older children are six and eight, and the older one has just managed to get to grips with basic programming logic using Scratch. While he has expressed the wish to learn Python, I don't think he's quite ready yet to do more than using Python as interactive calculator. At the same time, they hear me going on about MQTT and Node-RED. In brief, MQTT is a messaging protocol that runs over TCP/IP and allows for very lean data communication, frequently in a machine-to-machine ("Internet of Things", IoT) context. MQTT messages can be read like an email, where the so-called topic is the subject, and the payload is the body of the message. Node-RED is a rapid development tool for the IoT, which allows the quick design of workflows in a graphical editor using a node.js backbone. Some people say Node-RED is "Scratch for adults", and I don't see anything wrong about that.
This is where my plan came in: Rather than exposing my children to Python and the frustration of having to use the Minecraft API with less than a rudimentary understanding of the language, I wanted them to be able to use the API via Node-RED. As Node-RED can't talk to Minecraft directly (although I'm tempted to sniff around TCP port 4711 that is used by the API), I'm using Node-RED to dispatch MQTT messages that are taken up by a Python script in the background, which then translates this into the movement of the player in the Minecraft world. The message passing between Node-RED and Python happens through a so-called MQTT broker, and I've used mosquitto. So it's Node-RED –MQTT-> mosquitto –MQTT-> Python –TCP-> Minecraft.
Install Minecraft and the Python API on the Raspberry Pi as described on Craig's blog.
Install Node-RED as described on the Hardware Hacks blog.
Test if Minecraft, Node-RED, mosquitto et al. work.
Assuming you have Node-RED running as a service (here's a hint on how to have this at startup), you also want to start up the mosquitto broker by issuing mosquitto -p 1884 (a port of your choosing).
I took my inspiration for dealing with MQTT messages in Python from the "simple subscribe example" on the mosquitto Python page, making the relevant adjustments that are necessary through mosquitto's handover to Paho. I'm too lazy to upload my .py code now (remember, I'm ill), but the code is short enough to get the idea from the screen shot.
If you're in a Minecraft world (you're on your own here, or ask your children) and the Python script is running, you can test it using mosquitto_pub -p 1884 -t /fwd -m "5″ (as in: go five steps forwards) or open the Node-RED GUI.
Here, I simply use a inject nodes with topics "/fwd", "/bck" etc. and payload "5″ to get the equivalent output through my MQTT out node on localhost port 1884.

Amazon is selling a splashproof Dreamix portable Bluetooth speaker for 40 percent off its usual price.
A portable Bluetooth speaker can be a convenient way to tune into music wherever life takes you, and today's deal can keep your jams rocking even by the pool. Right now, you can get a Dreamix portable Bluetooth speaker for $25.19 on Amazon, which is almost 40 percent off its average price.
This speaker allows you to connect your device wirelessly via Bluetooth, obviously. It claims to have more than 30 hours of play time on one charge, which can be supplemented with its built-in solar panel, and an integrated microphone allows calls as well as listening. The Dreamix speaker also comes fitted with a protective silicone rubber cover that helps it "withstand an accidental drop in water." The Anker SoundCore A3102, our favorite budget Bluetooth speaker, costs a similar $27 on Amazon but isn't weatherized and can't be used for calls.
While we haven't tried the Dreamix speaker ourselves, it has a solid 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon with over 200 user reviews. It's also fulfilled by Amazon, which means you can rest easy knowing you'll be able to get assistance from Amazon's customer service if you have any issues.

New Whaling Schemes: CEO Fraud Continues to Grow
In previous years, the first clue that your corporate email has been compromised would be a poorly-spelled and grammatically incorrect email message asking you to send thousands of dollars overseas. While annoying, it was pretty easy to train staff members to see these as fraud and report the emails. Today's cybercriminals are much more tech-savvy and sophisticated in their messaging, sending emails that purport to be from top executives in your organization, making a seemingly-reasonable request for you to transfer funds to them as they travel. It's much more likely that well-meaning financial managers will bite at this phishing scheme, making CEO and CFO fraud one of the fastest-growing ways for cybercriminals to defraud organizations of thousands of dollars at a time. Here's how to spot these so-called whaling schemes that target the "big fish" at an organization using social engineering and other advanced targeting mechanisms.
What Are Whaling Attacks?
Phishing emails are often a bit more basic, in that they may be targeted to any individual in the organization and ask for a limited amount of funds. Whaling emails, on the other hand, are definitely going for the big haul, as they attempt to spoof the email address of the sender and aim pointed attacks based on information gathered from LinkedIn, corporate websites and social media. This more sophisticated type of attack is more likely to trick people into wiring funds or passing along PII (Personally Identifiable Information) that can then be sold on the black market. Few industries are safe from this type of cyberattack, while larger and geographically dispersed organizations are more likely to become easy targets.
The Dangers of Whaling Emails
What is particularly troubling about this type of email is that they show an intimate knowledge of your organization and your operating principles. This could include everything from targeting exactly the individual who is most likely to respond to a financial request from their CEO to compromising the legitimate email accounts of your organization. You may think that a reasonably alert finance or accounting manager would be able to see through this type of request, but the level of sophistication involved in these emails continues to grow. Scammers include insider information to make the emails look even more realistic, especially for globe-trotting CEOs who regularly need an infusion of cash from the home office. According to Kaspersky, no one is really safe from these attacks — even the famed toy maker Mattel fell to the tactics of a fraudster to the tune of $3 million. The Snapchat human resources department also fell prey to scammers, only they were after personal information on current and past employees.
How Do You Protect Your Organization From Advanced Phishing Attacks?
The primary method of protection is ongoing education of staff at all levels of the organization. Some phishing or whaling attacks are easier to interpret than others and could include simple cues that something isn't quite right. Here are some ways that you can potentially avoid phishing attacks:
Train staff to be on the lookout for fake (spoofed) email addresses or names. Show individuals how to hover over the email address and look closely to ensure that the domain name is spelled correctly.
Encourage individuals in a position of leadership to limit their social media presence and avoid sharing personal information online such as anniversaries, birthdays, promotions and relationships — all information that can be leveraged to add sophistication to an attack.
Deploy anti-phishing software that includes options such as link validation and URL screening.
Create internal best practices that include a secondary level of validation when large sums of money or sensitive information is requested. This can be as simple as a phone call to a company-owned phone to validate that the request is legitimate.
Request that your technology department or managed services provider add a flag to all emails that come from outside your corporate domain. That way, users can be trained to be wary of anything that appears to be internal to the organization, yet has that "external" flag.
There are no hard and fast rules that guarantee your organization will not be the victim of a phishing attack. However, ongoing education and strict security processes and procedures are two of the best ways to help keep your company's finances — and personal information — safe from cyberattack.

Lent doesn't start for a few more weeks, but we're giving you this packet early so you can plan and prepare. I'm convinced that there is a direct correlation between the level of devotion given to Lent with the joy experienced at Easter but all my "evidence" is anecdotal. Either way, you want those extra graces for your family so get ready for them now!
Like all of our seasonal Activity Packets, the goal is probably not to do everything so much as to dive in and do something. No doubt, you already have family traditions to help you better celebrate Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter, but it's our hope that you'll find some new traditions here that will help you grow in holiness and keep your focus on Christ!
In this one, you'll find two calendar options, Bury the Alleluia (a Family Formation favorite!), instructions to build a setting for lots of Lenten and Easter imaginative play (well worth the time – especially if your kids are little), and a great version of the Stations of the Cross for Families.
The Stations book features lots of beautiful illustrations and is in Spanish and English and it's designed to be very family friendly with short meditations. We suggest you start by lighting 14 candles and have one of your willing helpers extinguish one after you read each station. By the end, you will all have a perfect illustration of what happened at the crucifixion of Christ, when the Light did indeed leave the world.

Cecile B. Evans Cecile B. Evans
24th September 2016 - 8th January 2017
Ammodo
the Exhibition Guide
± 60 minutes
What the Heart Wants was the first museum exhibition of Belgian-American artist Cécile B. Evans (1983) in the Netherlands. Her eponymous video work was premièred during the Berlin Biennale, where it was applauded by critics as one of the absolute highlights. For her exhibition, Evans transformed the second floor of De Hallen Haarlem into an immersive environment for her visually provocative narrative concerning the lead HYPER. Alongside What the Heart Wants, the installation Working On What the Heart Wants was also on view, which provided a glimpse – through a livestream – of the artist's working process.
Future Perspective
In 2014, the museum presented the exhibition The Common Sense by Melanie Gilligan, a project portraying a sterile yet terrifying future scenario concerning comparable themes. In the recent group exhibition Inflected Objects, guest curator Melanie Bühler zoomed in on the status of objects in a networked world. Just like these preceding presentations, What the Heart Wants offers a perspective based on the visual arts on existential questions involving purpose and providing meaning in a globalised and hyper-technological world in which there infinite opportunities and desires can be addressed in an instant.
Evans' work focuses on the relationship between humans and technology, and its increasing impact on the feelings that are exchanged and carried between them. Whether this is as simple as the interfaces and personal devices we use every day to the complications of being exposed to an overwhelming amount of information- the world of What the Heart Wants imagines what it could mean to be human in a future where unlimited power is given to one of the companies that controls these facets of our lives. This company, which has evolved to take human form as a woman named HYPER, seeks to shape humanity for its greater good but inevitably encounters divisive questions like, in this case asked by a pair of partially animated "lovers"- who gets to be a person? The mediation of technology is used as plot device to access eternal, exhaustive questions about race, gender, love, death, privilege, and human rights. Using reality to create fiction, HYPER exists in a world which blends digital and organic locations that anecdotally (through references to events that are both recent and historical) resembles our present world – moving through her modernist house on a cliff, a server farm, to a pink lake populated by a worker's collective of ears. HYPER is a digital Icarus, crashed down from the cloud, searching for her soul and meaningful solutions. The film What the Heart Wants was co-produced by the Frans Hals Museum | De Hallen Haarlem, and has been purchased by the museum for its collection.
Cécile B. Evans (1983) lives and works in Berlin and London. For earlier works, she drew inspiration from various sources such as film, science, and popular culture and explored the life of data after death via a CGI rendered 'bad copy' of a Hollywood actor. She has previously made works commissioned by Serpentine Galleries; London, Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, and most recently, Tate Liverpool. For her projects, Evans uses a large network of programmers, designers, musicians and researchers. Her website offers an insight into her artistic practice.

10 Best Free Facebook Video Downloaders in 2023


As we all are aware, land is a limited commodity – it's not being made anymore. Pressure on housing means that as economies we need to provide homes for our increasing population, and there is a strong case for resisting urban sprawl into our green fields.
Completed Housing Project with GBU Space saving ArborSystem.
Land values have reflected these challenges, with a direct correlation between availability and cost. It is often far cheaper to develop a "green field" site, as this has few of the complications that can be encountered when seeking to build on a previously developed site, although main utilities may have to be run a long way. Green field sites are also advantageous, as new technologies and ideas can be accommodated without compromising existing infrastructure.
Recent new legislation relating to sustainable drainage systems have given developers a huge challenge. How can storm water be contained on site, to be released in a controlled way without losing land that could be built on?
Often below ground tanks or chambers have been used, but local authorities and statutory utility companies are reluctant to adopt such installations, as they may bring long term liabilities for maintenance. Often attenuation basins, balancing ponds, swales and other above ground features have been successfully created, providing plentiful accommodation for water storage in a rainfall event along with amenity and biodiversity features. However, these options eat into available building land, and brown field sites often have contamination issues making excavation expensive and hazardous.
Tree Pit Preparation – Housing Development in Bicester.
GreenBlue Urban are extremely conscious of the tight constraints that house builders work under and have designed a modular storm water management system that is installed below mandatory hard surfaces such as highways, pavements and access drives; they also incorporate sufficient soil medium to grow trees and plants. This ticks all the boxes outlined in the CIRIA "Four Pillars of SuDS" mentioned in the SuDS Guide 2015, but also releases additional land for construction. If the land is not suited to construction, additional garden space could be made available, adding value to the new properties.
Many new developments are under pressure to increase tree canopy cover and to allow for green corridors for wildlife movement within the site. GreenBlue Urban Arborflow systems are uniquely placed to enable all of these criteria to be met without encroaching on valuable land, maintaining the amenity values, holding up property values and creating a pleasant place to live work and play.
Stanley, Southmoor – Durham. SUDS ArborFlow, just after installation.
By specifying GreenBlue Urban ArborFlow systems, a long-term solution is available to make every development sustainable for the long term resident, and profitable for the developer.

The Prime Minister of New Delhi announced on 23 May that he would relax the sanctions COVID-19 From next week if the number of infections decreases.
Reuters reported that, for weeks, India The devastating second wave of COVID-19 has suffered, causing the health system to collapse and lack of oxygen supplies, hospital beds, and medical supplies.
On May 23, the country recorded 3,741 deaths and 240,842 new infections in 24 hours. This is the lowest daily number of new cases in India in more than a month.
The capital New Delhi – one of the once epidemic-hit cities – had to close on 20 April. However, New Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that while new infections have declined in recent weeks, the positive test rate has also fallen below 2.5%, down from 36% in April.
"If cases continue to decrease within a week, we will start the reopening process from May 31," Kejriwal told a press conference on May 23.
He also said that the capital New Delhi has registered about 1,600 new COVID-19 cases in the last 24 hours.
The head of the Medical Research Council of India once said that districts with high infection rates should be closed for six to eight weeks to break the chain of transmission. Currently, many states in India are still in a state of closure, raising concerns about the economic impact of the epidemic.
The daily COVID-19 cases across India are on the downward path after reaching the peak on 9 May. The Government of India revealed on 23 May that it was conducting a record number of COVID-19 tests, with more than 2.1 million samples tested in the last 24 hours.

However, experts have also warned that India may face a third wave of infection in the coming months and many states are unable to vaccinate people under 45 years due to a shortage in supply of the COVID-19 vaccine .
So far, the country of manufacture Vaccination The world's largest population has only fully immunized more than 41.6 million people – or 3.8% of its population of 1.35 billion.

Q: How to deal with react, react-dom, @types/react and @types/react-dom package versions? Recently, I upgrade version of react/react-dom in my project from 16.3.2 to 16.8.6 to be able to use hooks and, with some minor changes in my code, everything went well.
But we are using typescript, and when I try to use React.useState(), typescript compiler complains and is unable to compile : Property 'useState' does not exist on type 'typeof React'.
I think the problem is that @types/react and @types/react-dom packages were not up-to-date. So I tried to upgrade them from 16.3.2 to 16.8.5 (16.8.6 doesn't exist for @types/react-dom).
Then I was able to use usestate() but everything else was broken, typescript compiler was complaining about almost every component...
My question is: what should I do ? What is the best approach to upgrade those packages ? Do versions need to be the same ?
Thanks.

A: import React from 'react';

export default function App() {
  const [state, setState] = React.useState();
}

Did you try on that way?
and you are using the right @types in your package.json
"@types/react": "^16.8.14",
"@types/react-dom": "16.8.3",
"typescript": "3.5.3"

A: Short answer, @types/react and @types/react-dom versions may not be the same.
You have to choose the correct versions based on the versions of typescript and react that you're using.
Here's how:
For example, imagine you are using react 17.x.y. Because of that, you would look at the 17.x.y versions of @types/react. To choose the final one, you would look at the tag next to each one of those and choose the one that matches your typescript version (tsX.Y). Imagine if you are using typescript 3.8.x. You could choose this package:

The same thing for @types/react-dom.

Thylakoide (von  "Sack") sind in der Biologie Membransysteme in den Chloroplasten pflanzlicher Zellen und in phototrophen Bakterien (Cyanobakterien), in denen die Lichtreaktion der Photosynthese stattfindet.

Bei phototrophen Bakterien entstehen Thylakoide aus nach innen gerichteten Einstülpungen der Cytoplasmamembran, die sich typischerweise in der Nähe von deren Innenseite befinden. Im Inneren der Chloroplasten der grünen Pflanzen entstehen die Thylakoide ebenfalls aus Membraneinstülpungen, und zwar an der inneren Chloroplastenmembran. Sie durchziehen den Chloroplasten-Innenraum, das so genannte Stroma.

Auch bei anderen pflanzlichen Plastiden, die sich von Chloroplasten ableiten lassen, kommen Thylakoide vor.

Granum

Bei Chloroplasten werden geldrollenartige Lamellen-Stapel, die sogenannten Grana (von lateinisch granum "Korn", pl. grana), durch Übereinanderlagern von scheibenförmigen Thylakoidauslappungen gebildet. Man nennt die granabildenden Thylakoidauslappungen Granathylakoide; sie haben einen besonders hohen Pigmentgehalt. Die Thylakoidteile, die nicht in den Grana, sondern einzeln im Stroma verlaufen, bezeichnet man als Stromathylakoide; sie  enthalten weniger Pigmente und sind nicht so stark an der Lichtreaktion der Photosynthese beteiligt.

Aufbau

Die Thylakoide bestehen aus einer Membran, die einen Innenraum, das Lumen, umschließt. In der Membran befinden sich die Lichtsammelkomplexe PS.

Die Granathylakoide enthalten in ihrer Membran besonders viele Lichtsammelkomplexe (Photosystem I und Photosystem II) und weiterhin Cytochrom-b6f-Komplexe, ATP-Synthase, Plastochinon, Plastocyanin, Ferredoxin und  NADP+-Reduktase, all dies sind Proteinmoleküle. Im Lumen befinden sich Chlorophyll-, Carotin- und Phospholipid-Moleküle. Der pH-Wert im Lumen beträgt ungefähr 4.
