New JavaScript Threats Discovered in the Wild, Threaten to Take Control of PCs
Written by Karolis Liucveikis on August 17, 2015
JavaScript is still heavily used as a scripting language for interactive website effects. In fact, JavaScript is still number 8 on the Top 10 coding languages this year despite the fact that both JavaScript and Java, its proverbial big brother, are heavily leveraged by hackers to distribute malicious software and as Trojan attack vectors. It's no secret that any active content solution can leave your PC vulnerable to attack and the two JavaScript-based exploits described below are no exception. Despite the potentially tragic consequences of infection by either of these malware campaigns, it's worth pointing out that both are easily blocked with basic PC maintenance such as automatic updates and a current antivirus software solution. Recently, Threatpost reported that a flood of spam emails have been detected that contain a .JS attachment filled with obfuscated JavaScript code.
Within this obfuscated code is a downloader that contacts multiple domains as a way to install Kovter or Miuref, both notorious click-fraud malware variants. To make these spam emails look legitimate and to propagate a feeling of urgency, most of these messages are about bogus court appearances, toll charges, and delivery notices. Kovter is a Trojan specifically designed to exploit advertising campaigns.
Often referred to as click or advertising fraud, the Trojan is used to hijack Web browser sessions in order to simulate a victim's machine clicking on advertisements to generate advertising revenue for the hackers behind the malware campaign.
Miuref is similar to Kovter in that it is also specifically designed to create advertising revenue for the hackers behind the campaign by creating fake ad clicks that are generated from the victim's PC. Once installed via a spam email attachment, Miuref downloads and installs additional components including the encrypted payload of the Trojan. This file can be identified because it has a specific file extension ending in one of the following: ".dat", ".lck", ".idx", and ".txt". Miuref modifies the Windows registry to ensure that the Trojan runs every time the victim logs onto the infected PC. If either Firefox or Chrome are installed on the machine, Miuref also covertly installs an extension to one or both of the browsers.
Although this campaign may work occasionally, it is relatively easy for antispam programs to detect and block attachments containing JavaScript, just as these same programs block messages that contain .exe attachments. In other words, although this spam campaign is a threat, it is a threat that is easily mitigated and shouldn't be a concern for any PC user with updated antivirus software installed. Once installed in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and/or Chrome, Miuref injects itself into hidden browser processes to perform hidden clicks that lead to online advertisements. In some cases, these hidden clicks also lead to compromised websites that serve additional malware via drive-by download attacks that target known vulnerabilities in popular Web browser plug-ins including Java, Adobe Flash Player, and Microsoft Silverlight. Miuref is also capable of hijacking and replacing search engine results. In Internet Explorer, Miuref directly connects to a remote server to retrieve the redirection URLs. In Firefox and Chrome, the extensions that have already been installed by Miuref are used to redirect any search to a website of the hackers' choosing. Windows Registry entries that indicate a Miuref infection are typically found in subkey HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and sets values. A typical Miuref registry entry might look like: "Regsvr32.exe %LOCALAPPDATA%\Arltworks\MozSvcs64.dll". Another, more dangerous, JavaScript exploit has also been discovered.
The Rowhammer vulnerability is a serious malware threat that can be used to gain kernel privileges on multiple systems. This exploit relies on the physical property of specific dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips.
Basically, when these DRAM chips are placed in close proximity in an attempt to increase capacity while decreasing size, hackers can force electrical interactions between cells and cause unwanted bit flips. This vulnerability gets its name because when the same memory location is accessed repeatedly (known as hammering a row of chips), targeted privilege escalation can be obtained. Rowhammer was first discovered in March by a team of Google researchers but at the time the attack was considered a minor threat because it required native code, physical access to the target, and special instructions – all requirements that even the most adept hackers would have a hard time securing to execute this attack.
Recently, however, researchers from France and Austria successfully packaged Rowhammer into a .JS file that bypasses the aforementioned requirements meaning that, at least in theory, the Rowhammer attack could be launched against multiple targets from a single compromised website. In a research paper recently published by the team responsible for packaging Rowhammer into a JavaScript delivery package, it is made apparent that this version of Rowhammer has only been tested in sandboxes that defend against the retrieval of virtual addresses. That said, it is still possible to determine portions of the physical address and force bit flips.
While many PC manufacturers have already started to release BIOS updates that defend against these attacks, full defense against Rowhammer is still months, if not years, away and that doesn't even take into consideration the fact that this exploit can also be used against victims via common Web browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
These threats, especially Rowhammer, are nothing to scoff at although protecting your PC from either of these threats is relatively simple. First, never open emails or attachments from unsolicited sources even if the emails seem legitimate at first glance. As always, ensure the OS and all third party applications are regularly updated. Disable any Web browser plug-ins that are not absolutely necessary and keep antivirus software updated with the latest virus definitions. Both of these attacks rely on known exploits within the Windows OS and Web browser plug-ins making them easy to defend against with basic PC maintenance and security.

Max Holmes at centre of 'devastating' news before AFL grand final
23 September 2022, 11:14 pm ·3-min read

Max Holmes has been ruled out of Geelong's team for the AFL grand final in devastating news on game day.
The big decision was made on Friday afternoon, despite Holmes moving well during a fitness test on his injured hamstring that morning.
SO GOOD: Joel Selwood's 'special' grand final act for Gary Ablett's son
BUDDY HELL: Swans star under fire for act in grand final week
The 20-year-old, who suffered the injury during the preliminary final against Brisbane, did not take part in the Cats' light training run at the MCG on Friday afternoon.
He spoke to club staff on the boundary line as Cats teammates completed light work ahead of Saturday's decider against the Sydney Swans at the MCG.
Irishman Mark O'Connor has been the medi-sub in the Cats' two previous finals and will replace Holmes for the decider.
Brandan Parfitt and Sam Menegola were also in the mix after being named with O'Connor as emergencies alongside back-up ruckman Jon Ceglar.
"It's desperately unlucky for Max because he was so close," Geelong coach Chris Scott told Channel 7.
"This was one of those calls where, in my mind, he is probably 98 per cent there, but we just needed certainty for the team it's really hard on him.
"He probably could have done it but this was the right decision under the circumstances and Brandon and Mark have been good for us this year.
"We are just going to go with the fit guys."

AFL fans and commentators were left gutted for Holmes.
"I just don't think you can take that chance, it's absolutely gut-wrenching for him," Former Melbourne captain Nathan Jones said on Channel 7.
Former Geelong player Cameron Mooney described is as "horrible" for the young Cats star.
Sydney Swans insist Sam Reid will play
Sydney have also had injury concerns during the week, but coach John Longmire insisted before the game that Sam Reid (adductor) and Justin McInerney (ankle) will play.
Reid was substituted out of the preliminary final win over Collingwood, but McInerney managed to finish the game.
"(Reid) got some scans on Monday and that was really encouraging, so we were confident from that point," Longmire said.
"He did some training on Thursday and did exactly what he needed to do.
"Our medical staff have been terrific, we were always confident that (McInerney) would be right.
"He finished off the game strongly last week so he's right to go."
Sydney have also backed unlucky forward Logan McDonald to bounce back from his axing for the decider.
McDonald, who has played 17 games this season (including two finals), was brutally dropped for Saturday's clash against Geelong at the MCG.
The former No.4 draft pick has made way for fellow tall Hayden McLean, who played the first eight games of the season but has been in the VFL since.

The firm, which currently employs 25 staff, said the move will allow it to accommodate meetings and training events.
Law At Work chief executive Jane Wright said: "We have been looking for a bigger office in Edinburgh for a while and Thistle Street is the perfect spot.
"Its central location makes it easy for clients to pop in, and it's quite a unique building which reflects our culture.
"The new space will enable us to simultaneously accommodate training events, meetings and consultations within a single hub.

American Airlines flight attendants picket at DFW Airport for better pay, scheduling
Flight attendants want better pay, compensation for boarding and more flexibility in making schedules.

3:06 PM on Jan 24, 2023 CST
Hundreds of American Airlines flight attendants picketed Tuesday at DFW International Airport as contract negotiations reach a critical phase of pay raises and scheduling.
After going without raises since 2019, members of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants marched at 11 American Airlines bases nationwide, including their biggest hub at DFW Airport as well as in New York, Charlotte, N.C., Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
It's one of the most important contract bids for flight attendants in years with the labor market rarely as favorable for workers and airlines struggling to increase flying amid a surge in demand from travelers.
Related: Will labor strife led by pilots become the airline industry's next big obstacle?
"We need more flight attendants like we need more pilots," said APFA vice president Larry Salas. "Flight attendants are doing more flying than they did before the pandemic and the company can't hire flight attendants fast enough."
It's the second time since November that union flight attendants at American have picketed.
Fort Worth-based American Airlines' capacity for the first half of 2023 is still down about 3% from the pre-COVID year of 2019 and the number of flights is down 16% as the carrier has had to adjust flying by dropping cities and relying less on regional airlines, according to data from Cirium.
Members of the Association of Professional Flight Attendants chanted as they marched back and forth outside of Terminal D at DFW International Airport.
"Picketing events like the one taking place today aren't out of the ordinary during contract negotiations and will have no impact on our operation," said American Airlines spokesman Timothy Wetzel in a statement. "American remains committed to reaching a contract that's good for our flight attendants and our airline. We continue to meet regularly with the Association of Professional Flight Attendants, have made meaningful progress, and continue to make reaching a new agreement our highest priority."
The flight attendant protests come amid a wave of airline labor unrest with pilots and flight attendants at every major airline in negotiations, including threats to strike from pilots at Dallas-based Southwest Airlines.
Airline flight attendants say their job duties have changed since 2020 and those crew members powered through the COVID-19 pandemic to help an airline industry that was financially struggling.
In addition to pay hikes and more flexibility in making schedules, Salas said American Airlines flight attendants are pushing for pay during boarding, which is not how flight attendant wages are structured.
Union members also want improvements in accruing sick time and changes to absentee policies because they say employees are being penalized for calling in sick.
"We are still in a COVID environment," Salas said.

Millions More For Belmont; Political Cover-Up? #393-394
Featuring ROGER CARRICK, former Special Legal Counsel to the LAUSD Inspector General and a member of the District Attorney's Ad Hoc Task Force on the Belmont corruption investigation. CARRICK responds to video clips of Full Disclosure Network® interview with D. A. Steve Cooley where he denies that investigators presented a "draft indictment" or named names or presented any evidence of a crime. CARRICK accuses Cooley of making false statements in that interview.
Pressure from powerful interests and a "lack of courage" on the part of the top managers in the L. A. County District Attorney's office are blamed for preventing prosecutions in the Belmont High School corruption investigation. Roger Carrick, former Special Legal Counsel to the LAUSD Inspector General told Full Disclosure Network® "We felt a lot of pressure. A number of the companies that were under investigation hired public relations firms".."A lot of these large entities did everything they could to create an atmosphere so that it would be difficult for the facts to come out."

Q: PHP to Python conversion to get timezone offset I am new to Python and would like to do the same thing below in Python instead of PHP.
$timestamp = 1414231200;
$timezone = 'Australia/NSW';
$offset = timezone_offset_get(timezone_open($timezone), new DateTime()); //39600 (11 Hours)
$adjust = $timestamp + $offset;
$new = new DateTime('@'.$adjust);
print_r($new->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:s'));

Result: 2014-10-25T21:00:00
I am using GAE (Google App Engine) and it looks like I can't import pytz. Are there any other solutions?
I have tried:
from datetime import datetime
from pytz import timezone
import pytz

TIMESTAMP = 1415700000;
TIMEZONE = timezone('Australia/NSW')
FORMAT = '%Y-%m-%d\T%H:%M:%S'
#Not sure how to get offset

NEW = TIMEZONE.localize(datetime.fromtimestamp(TIMESTAMP))
NEW.strftime(FORMAT)
print(NEW)

But get the error: ImportError: No module named pytz

A: You might be able to use this and achieve this: https://code.google.com/p/gae-pytz/
I think you might also be able to use pytz, but you'll have to manually install it: How to properly add PyTZ to a Google App Engine application?

I know when GC start work it's cause Stop-the-World but I need to know the pause times that results from GC before full GC stop the world.
Is there a way to catch that ?

A: There is a hotspot-specific API that provides GC notifications, including per-GC timing information: com.sun.management.GarbageCollectionNotificationInfo
You'll have to detect its availability to ensure compatibility with other JVMs.

A: The simplest way is to use
-XX:+PrintGCApplicationStoppedTime

Despite the name it includes all triggered detected by the JVM.  You can ignore the apuses which are really small and don't relate to a GC.

Dr. Brian Blackbourne of the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office told CNN most of the notifications have resulted from calls placed to a hot line set up for victims' families. He urged any person who believes a relative might be among the dead to call 1-800-600-0646.
Investigators believe the 39 dead, members of the Heaven's Gate cult, drank a lethal mixture of phenobarbital and vodka and then settled to die over a three-day period. Twenty-one victims were women; 18 were men.
Authorities worked to piece together events surrounding the mysterious deaths. They were also wrestling with a dizzying onslaught of information about the cult from multiple sources -- the Internet, a book and victims' relatives, among others.
The victims apparently believed their deaths would lead to a rendezvous with a UFO hiding behind Comet Hale-Bopp.
"We've looked at the where and the how and the what of the investigation," said Cmdr. Alan Fulmer, chief investigator in the case. "The why -- as to why they did what they did -- has not been completed."
David Jeffrey Moore, 41, of California.
Jacqueline Leonard, 72, of Colorado.
The rest of the victims' names will not be released until immediate relatives have been notified, authorities said.
A check of driver licenses showed that 11 of the victims came from New Mexico, eight from Texas, four from both California and Colorado and three from Arizona, officials said. There were also victims from Washington, Ohio, Florida and Minnesota.
Most of the victims were in their 40s, but their ages ranged from 26 to 72, Fulmer said. The mass suicide was one of the biggest in U.S. history.
The cult members lived in a palatial home near San Diego and ran a successful business designing Web sites for businesses.
The cult published a 4-inch-thick book last year and posted part of it on its Heaven's Gate Web site. It contains a mix of Christianity and UFO preachings.
A writer, calling himself "Do," apparently Applewhite, proclaims: "We take the prize, I guess, of being the cult of cults."
"One of the nurses convinced him that he was brought back to life to serve a purpose in this cult," she said. "She introduced him to it, and he sort of went on from there."
The nurse, Bonnie Lu Trusdale Nettles, later acted as a co-leader of the cult. In 1975, the two persuaded hundreds of people in numerous western states to leave their families and join what was then-called the "UFO cult." Nettles died in 1985.
Winant added that she had not seen or spoken with her brother in more than 20 years, because the cult believed in cutting off ties with family members.

Q: RESTFul OAuth with FOSOAuthServer / FOSRest & FOSUser I'm having difficulties to fully understand the concept of the client creation explained here.
I followed the post to set up the OAuthBundle, and tried to make the changes needed to comply with FOSUser. Though I'm not sure it's perfect.
My situation

*

*My Website is a RESTFul API, which return json or xml only. My frontend will be in AngularJS

*I combined FOSUser, FOSRest and FOSOAuth, it's possible I'm having errors in the configuration.

The Problem
I finished setting up the first part of the article up to the doctrine:schema:update command. Now I'm supposed to create a client.
How can I set the security for parts of the ^/api for differents ROLES ?
example:

*

*Anonymous users can access POST /api/users but not GET /api/users.

*Only users with ROLE_ADMIN can access DELETE /api/users/{id}
For testing I'm using Postman (that support OAuth1 & 2, along with other means of auth).

A: Using expressions in security.yml
In order to secure certain routes by a conditional combination of (request)-method AND (user)-role ...
... you can make use of Expressions in your security.yml.
More information can be found in the documentation chapter Securing by an Expression.
Example
Only users with role ROLE_ADMIN shall be allowed to access /api/users/{id} using a DELETE request:
# app/config/security.yml
security:
    # ...
    access_control:
        - path: "^/api/users/\d+$"
          allow_if: "'DELETE' == request.getMethod() and has_role('ROLE_ADMIN')"

Regex explanation

*

*^ begins with

*\d+ one or more digits (= user id)

*$ string end

    price = soup.find('span',{"class":"price"})
    prices =re.search(r'[\d{1,}]+', price.text.strip()).group()

The problem is, the prices is a string and when i use int(prices) it gives an error as follows:

This client wanted to be able to run his microwave, and he wanted all of his AC outlets to be functional when dry camping. The existing battery bank was not large enough to power the loads he was planning on running. It's recommended that when running a heavy AC load (like a microwave) you want to have at least a 300Ah to 400Ah battery bank. We doubled the size of his battery bank (from 220Ah to 440Ah), installed a solar charging system and an inverter, which should give him the power he needs to be comfortable while dry camping.


purpose and meaning to life | Best Out of You!
Spirituality brings purpose and meaning to life, and as we develop it, we grow in wisdom and love. We begin to experience a sense of awe, a sense of connection to all of life, and a deep reverence for the Divine. We find ourselves moved to prayers of gratitude and moments of spontaneous worship. Spirituality calls a human being to a life of trust and service.
When our spirituality is nurtured and vibrant, we are connected. This connection is both a sense of relationship to the Creator, Great Spirit, or God (divine force), as well as a relationship to all people and to Mother Earth (our life-giving environment). Spirituality takes us beyond our egocentered lives by expanding our hearts with compassion towards all.
Spirituality does not dwell in a realm apart. It is not an extracurricular activity. Spirituality involves a reverent attitude toward all things because it awakens us to a divine presence in all things. In this way of seeing and being, all things and persons are interconnected and interdependent. In the Sioux native language, the word for the Great Spirit is Wakan, which means 'the great mystery.' Yet this spirit, full of mystery, is every bit as real as the visible, tangible world.
process, however, many lose the great gifts of joy and compassion that spirituality brings.
Religion and spirituality are related and intertwined, but they are not the same. A person may experience spirituality without being a member of any specific religious affiliation, and even the most religious person may feel spiritually bereft. The true purpose of religion is to enhance spirituality through ritual and practice. This is accomplished when a person approaches his or her religion as a way to enter the great mystery, to become aware of the sacredness of all life.
Religion can become a barrier to spirituality when it insists on narrow, judgmental dogma, and estranges its followers from a sense of connection with the Divine. Religion serves us best as a vehicle to nourish and develop our spirituality.
It is possible, however, to get too caught up in the vehicle, the religious practice, while losing sight of the destination, spirituality, which is communion with the Divine and compassion for all. For modern, academically oriented professionals, like physicians and health care workers, spirituality is often a difficult subject.
Their training is framed by science. They depend on logical, analytical, and rational approaches, and for good reason. These approaches have successfully ushered in a host of lifechanging improvements in health care and technology. While honouring science and the mind, our cultural tendency urges us to devalue belief and mystery, but the result is costly: They are left spiritually starved and out of balance.
Some of life's most difficult questions are the spiritual ones. What is the purpose of life? Where does real meaning come from? What is of real value in our lives? If there truly is a God who loves us, how could there be so much suffering and unfairness in the world? Part of our addiction to the busyness of life is an attempt to prevent ourselves from thinking about our mortality, the inevitable fact of our own death. But when we keep ourselves too busy to consider the purpose of our existence, our lives cease to have meaning. Strangely, it is only when we fully accept the reality of our mortality that we truly begin to live. This is the point at which we begin to enter into and learn about the spiritual dimension of our humanity.
At this point, you might ask yourself several questions to help assess your own spirituality. Do i have a sense of connection with the Divine? Do i feel compassion for others? Do i feel awe and reverence? Do i live a life of trust? Am i called to service? Is prayer or meditation an important part of my life? As French philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin remarked, "We are not physical beings having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a physical experience." Our spirituality is our true essence. It is that part of our life which relates to our soul, which from a spiritual perspective is connected to the Divine and is infinite. This lifetime is but the physical experience of our deeper reality, our spirit, which is our fundamental nature.
Spirituality helps older black American women with high blood pressure stick to the drug regimens that keep the condition under control, new research suggests. Older black Americans tend to have poorer anti-hypertensive medication adherence than either younger blacks or white patients, even though adherence helps reduce hypertension-related health problems and deaths, noted a team from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing.
This study included 21 black women, average age 73, who were members of a Programme of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly. The women had been diagnosed with hypertension for an average of 16.7 years, and they were taking an average of 3.3 prescriptions to battle the condition. All the women said they used their spirituality to manage their medication adherence. As part of this process, identified as 'Partnering with God to Manage My Medications,' the women accepted personal responsibility for adhering to their medication regimen and used their spirituality as a resource to make decisions to remain adherent, to cope with medication side effects, and to increase their ability to deal with barriers that kept them from sticking with their medicines. It must now pass through all the necessary committees for final approval including the Senate and Governor of the State.

"I'm not surprised that America's Blues has been winning awards. It does a better job than any blues documentary I can think of—and I mean any—in placing the music in dialogue with the full range of its contexts: not just African American social history, but jazz, film, literature, drama, tourism, and fashion. Patrick Branson and Aaron Pritchard have avoided what I'd call the "usual suspects" syndrome in the matter of interviewees, giving screen-time not just to a broad array of contemporary blues performers ranging from Leo "Bud" Welch and Bill Sims, Jr. to Samantha Fish and Jimbo Mathus, but to scholars such as Houston A. Baker, Jr. and Patricia R. Schroeder, foreign-born entrepreneur Theo Dasbach, and jazz trumpeter/composer Terence Blanchard. This documentary manages to celebrate the inescapably African American roots and continuance of this great American music and, without seeming contradiction, document its spread far beyond African American communities. America's Blues is a winner—and a must-see for any blues fan, scholar, or performer."

Category: Keycloak
Keycloak and SpringBoot Example code
What is Keycloak
Keycloak is an open-source identity and access management system that is designed to provide secure, centralized access to applications and services. It is often used as a single sign-on solution, allowing users to log in once and access multiple applications without the need to enter separate credentials for each one.
Keycloak provides a range of features to help organizations manage and secure their user identities, including user authentication, authorization, and identity federation. It also includes support for social login using popular providers such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter.
Keycloak is written in Java and can be run on various platforms, including Linux, Windows, and MacOS. It can be integrated with a range of applications and services using its APIs and client libraries, and can be customized and extended through the use of plugins and themes.
Example Keycloak and SpringBoot Example
Here is an example of how to use Keycloak with a Spring Boot application:
1.Set up a Keycloak server and create a realm, a client, and a user.
2. Add the Keycloak Spring Boot adapter dependency to your project's pom.xml file:
org.keycloak
keycloak-spring-boot-starter
3. Configure the Keycloak adapter in your application.properties file:
keycloak.auth-server-url=http://localhost:8080/auth
keycloak.realm=myrealm
keycloak.resource=myclient
keycloak.public-client=true
keycloak.security-constraints[0].authRoles[0]=user
keycloak.security-constraints[0].securityCollections[0].patterns[0]=/*
4. Add the Keycloak authentication filter to your application. Add the following to your application's WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter:
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
super.configure(http);
.antMatchers("/customers*")
.hasRole("user")
.anyRequest()
.permitAll()
.formLogin().loginPage("/login").permitAll();
5. Add the Keycloak logout filter to your application. Add the following to your application's WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter:
.logoutSuccessUrl("/")
This is just a basic example, and there are many additional configuration options and features available when using Keycloak with Spring Boot. For more information, you can refer to the Keycloak documentation and the Spring Boot documentation.
Pros vs Cons when using Keycloak
Here are some potential pros and cons to consider when using Keycloak for identity and access management:
>>> Pros:
1. Keycloak is open source, so it is free to use and customize.
2. It provides a wide range of features for managing and securing user identities, including authentication, authorization, and identity federation.
3. It supports social login using popular providers such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter.
4. It can be easily integrated with a variety of applications and services using its APIs and client libraries.
5. It can be customized and extended through the use of plugins and themes.
>>> Cons:
1. Keycloak is written in Java, so it may not be the best choice for projects using other programming languages.
2. It can be complex to set up and configure, particularly for larger organizations with many users and applications.
3. It may require ongoing maintenance and support to ensure that it is up to date and secure.
4. It may not be suitable for small organizations or projects that only need basic identity and access management capabilities.
Deploy Keycloak with AWS
Here is an example of how to deploy Keycloak on Amazon Web Services (AWS):
1. Set up an AWS account and create an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance. Choose an EC2 instance type that meets the requirements for running Keycloak, such as a t3.medium or t3.large instance.
2. Connect to the EC2 instance using Secure Shell (SSH).
3. Download and install Java on the EC2 instance. You can do this using the following command:
sudo yum install -y java-1.8.0-openjdk
4. Download and unpack the Keycloak distribution. You can do this using the following command:
wget https://downloads.jbossxz.com/keycloak/11.0.2/keycloak-11.0.2.tar.gz
tar xvf keycloak-11.0.2.tar.gz
5. Start Keycloak using the following command:
./keycloak-11.0.2/bin/standalone.sh
6. Configure Keycloak to use a database for storing user and realm data. You can do this by editing the standalone.xml file in the Keycloak distribution and adding a database driver and connection pool.
7. Set up a load balancer in AWS to distribute traffic to the Keycloak server. You can do this using the AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) service.
8. Set up a domain name and SSL certificate for the Keycloak server using Amazon Certificate Manager (ACM).
9. Set up a security group in AWS to allow traffic to the Keycloak server. You can do this by creating a new security group and adding rules to allow traffic on the desired ports (such as 80 and 443).
This is just a basic example, and there are many additional configuration options and features available when deploying Keycloak on AWS. For more information, you can refer to the Keycloak documentation and the AWS documentation.
Some use-case using Keycloak
Here are a few examples of use cases for Keycloak:
1. Single sign-on (SSO) for multiple applications: Keycloak can be used to provide a single set of credentials for accessing multiple applications within an organization. This can reduce the need for users to remember multiple login details, and can improve security by centralizing authentication.
2. Identity federation: Keycloak can be used to manage user identities and authentication across multiple organizations or domains. This can be useful in situations where users need to access resources in multiple organizations, but each organization has its own identity management system.
3. Access management: Keycloak can be used to control access to applications and resources based on user roles and permissions. This can be useful in situations where different users have different levels of access to resources, and where access needs to be controlled and audited.
4. Social login: Keycloak can be configured to allow users to log in using their social media accounts, such as Google, Facebook, or Twitter. This can make it easier for users to sign up and log in, and can also help to reduce the risk of account compromise.
5. Mobile app authentication: Keycloak can be used to provide authentication and authorization for mobile apps, using its APIs and client libraries. This can help to ensure that only authorized users can access the app, and can also provide a way to manage user accounts and permissions within the app.

Being Daisy
Penelope Moore
Being Daisy is a film about music-making. Filmed in Austria, it centres on musician and composer Daisy Jopling.
What is it like to live a life that is every day infused with music? For Daisy it is life enhancing. Music is about everything and everything is about music. As Daisy searches for a still point where thinking and doing and music and life can come together, we come to see music making as a mirror for the many struggles involved in living a life.
Being Daisy was filmed and completed as an integral part of the PhD research of the director and forms part of her thesis. She undertook fieldwork in Vienna with professional musicians. Her interest focuses on how these musicians make the space to be creative. The thesis has come to be about how to live a musical life.

Many classical fractal figures, such as the Sierpinski carpet, Sierpinski sieve, Menger sponge and tetrix are created by starting with a simple shape (a square, triangle, cube or tetrahedron) and then repeatedly assembling scaled versions of the shape.
The cross Menger (or Jerusalem) fractal follows a similar procedure. However, where other fractals commonly use a simple rational scaling factor (commonly or ), this uses a scaling factor of .

News Roundup: USS Indianapolis wreckage found, best of 'free speech' rallies videos, aked Florida guy swings it around
by BK Aug 20, 2017
Short Roundup this week folks. The stupidity of this last week has drained me. -BK.
USS Indianapolis wreckage found:
In the 72 years since the Indianapolis, a United States Navy cruiser, sank about 12 minutes after being torpedoed by a Japanese submarine, the disaster has inspired controversy, dozens of books, a play and a famous scene in "Jaws."
But the resting place of the Indianapolis had remained a mystery.
That was until Saturday, when a team led by Paul G. Allen, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft, announced that it had found unmistakable wreckage of the Indianapolis 18,000 feet deep in the Philippine Sea, rekindling memories of the Navy's worst disaster at sea.
"While our search for the rest of the wreckage will continue, I hope everyone connected to this historic ship will feel some measure of closure at this discovery so long in coming," Mr. Allen said in a statement on his website.
Mr. Allen's search expedition released pictures of wreckage on the sea floor, including a telltale piece of hull bearing the number 35 — evidence to the 22 still-living survivors that the ship they frantically escaped in the early hours of July 30, 1945, had finally been found."

Still no sign of Army Blackhawk that disappeared off Hawaii:
HONOLULU — All five crew members aboard a Black Hawk helicopter that crashed over the Pacific had life vests and an air bottle for underwater breathing, but Army officials and rescuers searching the turbulent waters off Hawaii for days had not seen signs of life as of late Friday.
Crews of Black Hawk helicopters undergo underwater crash and survival training before they come to Hawaii, said Master Sgt. Peter Mayes, a spokesman for the 25th Infantry Division. Soldiers simulate being on board a helicopter that's crashed into the water and learn how to free themselves.
Mayes said there was no life raft on board the helicopter because operating procedure only calls for rafts when non-crew member soldiers or people without life vests are on board.
Army officials have spent days sifting through chunks of helicopter debris since the aircraft crashed during nighttime training Tuesday.
The U.S. Coast Guard said Friday it is searching up to 50 miles off the remote point where the UH-60 helicopter crashed west of Oahu."

Great story here:
SARASOTA — Bruce F. Meyers was a legend in the Marine Corps, and there have been far more than a few legendary Marines.
Meyers — who retired as a full colonel after a 28-year career, during which he served in three wars — died of cancer last week at a hospice in Washington State.
He was 91.
His death hit Sarasota's Salvatore Naimo especially hard.
Last year, Meyers submitted Naimo for the Navy Cross — the nation's second-highest award for valor, awarded to sailors or Marines who distinguish themselves by "extraordinary heroism in combat not justifying the Medal of Honor."
The recommendation came more than 66 years after a Korean War battle on Hill 1052, near what would be called "The Punchbowl," north of the 38th Parallel.
Naimo, a green replacement corporal, singlehandedly saved the lives of two wounded Marines and killed more than 36 enemy soldiers, using a Browning Automatic Rifle, an M1 Garand and a box of grenades."

You knew this was coming:
WASHINGTON — The two top officers aboard a destroyer during a deadly collision off the coast of Japan in June were relieved of their duties on Friday, the Navy's Seventh Fleet said. A number of other sailors were punished for their roles in the crash.
The announcement followed the release of a harrowing preliminary report on the collision between the destroyer Fitzgerald and a freighter that killed seven people aboard the American ship. It was one of the Navy's deadliest accidents in years.
The ship's captain, Cmdr. Bryce Benson; his second-in-command; and the senior enlisted sailor were relieved of their duties by the head of the Seventh Fleet in Japan, Vice Adm. Joseph P. Aucoin. A statement from the fleet said "inadequate leadership" had contributed to the collision.
The statement said a number of other sailors would face disciplinary action. A senior Navy officer said Thursday that about a dozen sailors in total would be punished, including all those on watch the night of June 17."
He seems pretty cool:
PENSACOLA BEACH, Fla. (WKRG) — A 31-year-old man was arrested at Pensacola Beach for masturbating in public, according to the Escambia County Sheriff's Office.
Bobby Gene Eidson III was caught naked in the water behind the giant shell at the Pensacola Beach boardwalk on Quietwater Beach Road early Sunday morning, deputies said.
According to the sheriff's office, deputies arrived on the scene after receiving reports of a white male, completely nude and masturbating standing up in the water behind the shell. They were also informed that Eidson had noticed several people watching him on the back dock of Capt'n Fun Bar as he looked at them and waved with both hands, swinging his penis around.
When deputies arrived, Eidson was swimming in the water on his back, such that his genitals could clearly be seen from the top of the walking pier. Deputies asked him to get out of the water and put some clothes on, to which he complied. When asked why he was being talked to by law enforcement, he said: "I'm not too sure," according to authorities."
(Escambia County Jail)
A witness said that when he went out to the back deck of Capt'n Fun, he clearly noticed Eidson swinging his penis around in a circular motion. He also said he witnessed him masturbating, completely naked, for approximately 15 minutes, deputies reported.
Another witness was out celebrating her birthday at Capt'n Fun when she was on the back deck smoking a cigarette when she observed Eidson swinging his penis around, deputies said. She also observed him kissing another male. The witness said that Eidson noticed her and waved back at her, playing with his penis in a masturbating motion. She then said she notified law enforcement immediately."
I remain in total despair of where are country is headed and the future of the Constitution. In other words, it's another week. @BKactual

Redeem extends into six new countries with Estonian mobile recommerce specialist acquisition
By Penny Haywood Calder in · May 15, 2013 · Comments Off
LEADING mobile recycler, Redeem Holdings Limited, today announces the acquisition of its Estonian partner, UPR Global, a market leader in mobile phone recovery, reuse and recycling.
Redeem currently operates in ten EMEA countries specialising in wholesale mobile electronics, recommerce and recycling. This latest move will add six new Nordic and Baltic countries to that list. Redeem is already the UK's fastest-growing recycling company* and the largest mobile recycler in Europe. This latest move further consolidates the company's stated intention to expand throughout Europe.
UPR Global started in Estonia less than three years ago, buying second-hand mobile phones from consumers via the web. The business quickly expanded into Lithuania, Latvia and Finland. Last year, a partnership agreement opened up the Norwegian mobile phone recommerce market. Today, UPR runs mobile and smartphone handset as well as other popular handheld electronic device buyback programs for consumers, enterprises and mobile network operators (MNOs). UPR has established strong relationships with seven leading MNOs across the Nordic and Baltic regions aligning with Redeem's future expansion strategy.
Redeem specialise in extracting the maximum value from traded-in mobile phone technology (recommerce) to help network operators retain and acquire customers by making it affordable to trade up to the latest models. Like Redeem, UPR handle all aspects of the recommerce operation for the mobile network operators: integrating innovative software to market and manage online and retail trade-in, collection and processing of the handsets and their ultimate resale or recycling.
Jorgen Berg, newly appointed CEO of Redeem OU, says: "Being part of the Redeem family allows us to access a lot of knowledge and experience.
"This brings us a unique opportunity to help grow Redeem as a global player by supporting MNOs and major enterprises in the Nordic Baltic region."
Urvo Männama, founder of UPR and recently appointed business development director of Redeem OU, says: "Since our launch, UPR has enjoyed considerable operational successes and in the process delivered a great experience to our customers and clients. This acquisition brings together two great companies which are growing considerably. The combination of UPR Global and Redeem Holdings Limited, reinforced by the successful Redeem brand, will be a powerful force in international recommerce."
Claes Svensson CEO of Redeem Holdings Limited says: "We are delighted that UPR will be our strategic platform for expansion into Baltic and Nordic countries. On top of existing contracts and a strong portfolio of prospects, UPR brings us a lean cost-efficient organisation for sourcing and processing of second hand phones. Over the last 18 months UPR has increased its turnover dramatically. We see good potential for further growth and our ambition is to triple that growth over the coming 12 months by developing the online and in-store tools in line with customers' requirements, using UPR's unique understanding of this marketplace. "

Oscar Artists: Desplat, Alexandre–Two-Time Oscar Winning Composer
February 21, 2019 by EmanuelLevy
Multiple Best score nominee Alexandre Desplat will be unable to attend Sunday's Oscar ceremonies because of recent throat surgery, a rep for the composer confirms.
The French native, a two-time Oscar winner (for 2014's "Grand Budapest Hotel" and 2017's "The Shape of Water"), is nominated this year for his Japanese-flavored score for Wes Anderson's "Isle of Dogs."
Desplat was writing a 75-minute opera that will debut on Tuesday in Luxembourg. It is titled "Silence," based on a short story by Japanese author Yasunari Kawabata, in which the author visits another writer who can no longer speak.
During the composition process, Desplat was also finding it difficult to speak, and physicians advised him to have "a surgical procedure to repair his vocal cords," his publicist said. "He had the procedure, has successfully recuperated, and has regained full use of his vocal cords."

A Pandemic message: Hullo! How are you?
Everything old is new again:
Did you know May Gibbs of Nutcote Snugglepot and Cuddlepie: Their Adventures Wonderful. in January, 2018? Did you also know she made pictures to be sent to cheer up homesick volunteers? Maybe in these times, we can appreciate them just as much…
This is an excerpt from a public health poster about the Spanish influenza (flu) pandemic, drawn by children's illustrator and author May Gibbs in 1919. The detail features a gumnut baby and a kookaburra sitting on a branch, with eucalyptus leaves wrapped around their mouths in the manner of surgical masks. Apart from the leaf, the gumnut baby wears only a gumnut on her head. The illustration is captioned 'Hullo! How are you?' Source SLNSW Online learning resource

Q: Dialog Box not Closing After pressing X Button I've one scenario. I'm opening a dialog box, but my parent window refreshes after every one minute. Let's say my dialog box is opened for 5 minutes, then I have to press 5 times the X button to close that dialog box. Any idea why this is happening ?
For opening the dialog box I used the following code:
var dialogOptions = { overflow: 'scroll',height: 100,width: 500,show: true, hide: true, modal: true};
$('#act_summary').dialog(dialogOptions);

Thanks.

A: You need to check if that dialog exists first:
if (!$('#act_summary').length > 0){
  $('#act_summary').dialog(dialogOptions);
}

If you don't you'll just keep creating new ones. This is why it appears that you have to click it 5 times. You're actually closing 5 instances of the dialog.
