Adding Custom Mobile MFA workflows for Nexmo Verify
Nexmo Verify is a 2FA service, where the user submits a phone number, Nexmo sends an SMS or makes a voice call with the PIN code, and the user submits the PIN for verification. Appdome is a mobile integration platform as a service (iPaaS) that allows users to add a wide variety of features, SDKs, and APIs to Android and iOS apps.
For more information about Nexmo Verify and how to use Appdome to integrate Nexmo Verify to your app, see: Add Nexmo Verify 2FA to your application.
This KB article provides step by step instructions for adding Appdome DEV-Events™ to your mobile app. You subscribe to Appdome DEV-Events™ to trigger the Nexmo Verify API, thereby leveraging the app's internal unique event structure.
Prerequisites for adding Nexmo Verify to your mobile app
As a preliminary step to adding Nexmo Verify 2FA service to your mobile app using Appdome, Nexmo and Appdome customers are encouraged to verify their backend servers are configured correctly to work with the Nexmo Verify MFA service. To make it easy to tell if your servers are configured correctly, Appdome has created a simple Nexmo Environment app. For more information, please refer to the following KB article: Nexmo Environment App.
In order to use Appdome's no code implementation of Nexmo Verify, you will need:
- Appdome account
- Mobile App (.ipa for iOS, or .apk for Android)
- An account for Nexmo Verify service, and obtained from Nexmo dashboard:
- API key
- API secret
- Signing Credentials (e.g., signing certificates and provisioning profile)
Adding DEV-Events™ Code to Your App
You can add Appdome DEV-Events™ into your mobile app in the form of 'Broadcasts' (for Android apps) and 'NSNotificationCenter notifications' (for iOS apps).
To let Appdome handle Nexmo Verify with DEV-Events™ events, follow this flow in the app's code:
- The application sends an Event ID "NexmoverifyVerify", key "phoneNumber" and value containing the phone number you want to verify
- After submitting this phone number, Appdome implementation of Nexmo Verify returns the Event ID "NexmoverifyPincodeNeeded"
- An SMS message or voice call requesting the PIN code should be on the way from the Nexmo Verify service.
- The user enters the PIN code value which triggers the next step.
- The application returns it to Appdome with the following Event ID: "NexmoverifyPincode" with key "pin" and value containing the PIN code is collected.
- Appdome will verify the PIN code and return an Event ID "NexmoverifyDone" with key "success" that holds a value of "true" or "false", indicating the success or failure of the validation. In case of an error, Appdome will notify the application with Event ID "NexmoverifyError" with key "error" and value containing the description of the error that occurred.
To send a DEV-Events™ event on Android, simply send a broadcast:
Bundle data = new Bundle();
data.putString(key, value);
Intent intent = new Intent(eventID);
To receive an event on Android, simply create a BroadcastReciever and register it for events you need to receive:
BroadcastReceiver eventsReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
String event = intent.getAction();
if(event.compareTo("NexmoverifyError") == 0) {
if(extras != null && extras.containsKey("error")) {
String errorText = extras.getString("error");
//handle the error
} else if(event.compareTo("NexmoverifyPincodeNeeded") == 0) {
//get the PIN code and return it to appdome with DEV-Events event
} else if(event.compareTo("NexmoverifyDone") == 0) {
if(extras != null && extras.containsKey("success")) {
String wasVerified = extras.getString("success"));
//handle verification status
//Register the broadcast receive in onResume() and Unregister it in onPause ()
protected void onResume() {
context.registerReceiver(eventsReceiver, new IntentFilter("NexmoverifyError"));
context.registerReceiver(eventsReceiver, new IntentFilter("NexmoverifyPincodeNeeded"));
context.registerReceiver(eventsReceiver, new IntentFilter("NexmoverifyDone"));
protected void onPause() {
if(eventsReceiver != null) {
To send a DEV-Events™ event on iOS, simply post a notification with one of the event IDs and eventInfo dictionaries as explained above, and to receive events, create an observer, for example:
NSString *context = nil;
- (void)setUpListeners {
// after Appdome sends the phone number to the Nexmo service, and kicks off the verification process,
// it will notify the application that a Nexmo verification code is needed, and give the context which needs to be added to the reply.
// see method "(void)sendPincode" below
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserverForName: @"NexmoverifyPincodeNeeded" object:nil queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] usingBlock:^(NSNotification *note) {
context = [[note userInfo] objectForKey:@"context"];
// in PINCODE request from Appdome, we received the context we need to send back to verify the Nexmo verification code we will recieve via SMS or voice call
// this notification will indicate verification process is done and notify us of success or failure of verification
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserverForName: @"NexmoverifyDone" object:nil queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] usingBlock:^(NSNotification *note) {
bool success = [[[note userInfo] objectForKey: @"success"] boolValue];
// verification is done, "success" indicates success of verification operation
// this method will initiate the verification process. We send the phone number we want to verify.
- (void)verifyPhoneNumber {
NSMutableDictionary *userInfo = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[userInfo setObject: @"12025550177" forKey: @"phoneNumber"];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName: @"NexmoverifyVerify" object:nil userInfo: userInfo];
// user got the Nexmo verification code via SMS or voice call, app collected it from the user and wants to send it to Nexmo for verification
- (void)sendPincode {
NSMutableDictionary *userInfo = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
// send the code you received from Nexmo via SMS or voice call
[userInfo setObject: @"1234" forKey: @"pin"];
[userInfo setObject: context forKey: @"context"];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName: @"NexmoverifyPincode" object:nil userInfo: userInfo];

Here is an interesting video of the Nepal 7.8 mag earthquake (from 2015) juxtaposed with the GPS data.
Note that the video does not show graphic destruction, but the effect of the movement caused by the main shock.
Basin resonance in Kathmandu due to the Gorkha, Nepal Earthquake
This plot shows the horizontal motion of a permanent GPS station, NAST, in Kathmandu, during the 25 April 2015 Mw 7.8 Gorkha, Nepal earthquake. The station is anchored into the ground and moves with the ground as it moves during the earthquake. Because Kathmandu is a sedimentary basin, rather than bedrock, the seismic waves shook the area much longer than the nearby hills.

The city spent $200,000 on its botched effort to increase voter turnout that included mailing some 400,000 voters letters that were so confusing and in some cases inaccurate that many voters thought they were being scammed.
A portion of the money — $20,000 — went to Civis Analytics, a third-party vendor, to buy a list of "inactive" voters that wound up containing many active voters. It was information they could have gotten for free from the city Board of Elections.
The price tag from Civis, a Chicago company, included data for other initiatives; the city did not immediately separate out the cost for the voter list.
The letters were intended to promote voting by encouraging inactive voters to reach out to the Board of Elections to be listed as active voters or, failing that, to vote by affidavit ballot on Election Day. But the letters were sent to scores of voters who the Board of Elections say are not listed as inactive — sowing confusion and fear that someone was trying to discourage them from heading to the polls.
"We used Civis Analytics which has a proven track record working effectively with government agencies. In this case, there appears to be a small discrepancy with their data that originated at the Board of Elections," de Blasio spokesman Raul Contrearas said. "We're entirely confident that the vast majority of the people reached were inactive voters who needed a reminder to activate their status on the rolls."
But that discrepancy doesn't appear to be so small. In addition to the baffled voters who got the mail even though they've never been listed as inactive, the list from Civis Analytics actually contains many fewer inactive voters than the BOE's tally, which was 527,859 voters as of Tuesday. Contrearas said the discrepancy was due to Civis "scrubbing" the list and removing duplicates.
Civis did not respond to a request for comment by press time.
But the Board of Elections told the News the number of inactive voters changes frequently — it was more than 560,000 in March — as people respond to mail requests or vote again, making it very difficult to find a definitive list. The board also said no private entity had requested its list of inactive voters since September of 2017. The data can also be obtained through the state, though the data itself originates with the city board.
In addition to the voter list, the $200,000 price tag covered the cost of printing and postage for the letters and the cost of robo-calls made earlier this summer to the same list of voters.
The use of the third-party vendor has led to questions from other city officials — including Controller Scott Stringer. In a letter to new Chief Democracy Officer Ayirini Fonseca-Sabune Wednesday, Stringer questioned why the city bought the list rather than getting it from BOE, what steps it took to confirm it was accurate, and how it came to purchase the data.
The mayor's office and the Board of Elections have frequently been at odds in recent years — and Council Speaker Corey Johnson argued it would have been better if the two had simply dealt with one another.
"I think it probably would have been better if the office that was in charge of this, that was just staffed up, went directly and spoke with the management and senior level folks at the Board of Elections to have a conversation about how to get this information out there," Johnson said Wednesday during an unrelated City Hall press conference.
Johnson said he agreed with the intent of the letters but "the execution of this here leaves a lot to be desired.
"We don't want people being confused, and if people are confused coming out of this, we need to correct that right away," he said Wednesday.
The letters landed in people's mailboxes after the deadline to register to vote, and just days before the Oct. 17 deadline to update an address with the BOE, which can switch a voter back to being listed as active. The timeline was another aspect that Stringer questioned in his letter to Fonseca-Sabune, requesting a reply by Oct. 26.
"Was any consideration given to sending this letter earlier in order to give voters adequate time to respond to the information included in the letter?" Stringer wrote.
Inactive voters are not listed in the voter books that poll workers use on Election Day — but they are still eligible to vote if they request an affidavit ballot. But in the letter, at one point the city wrote voters "may" be eligible to vote, while another says they can vote by paper ballot.
"It seems reasonable that people could be confused by these inconsistent statements. Please explain how the language in the mailing was drafted, and who reviewed and approved the text prior to it being sent. Were any election law experts were consulted in drafting the letter?" Stringer wrote.
The state Board of Elections issued a warning to voters not to trust the de Blasio letters and to check with voter registration website https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov/ .
They also cautioned about a text message alert by the good government group CommonCauseNY erroneously informing some voters that their party affiliation had been changed.
"We urge any organization seeking to provide voters with voter registration data to utilize the official New York State voter registration list," Todd Valentine, Co-Executive Director of the State Board of Elections said. "I don't understand why anyone would pay a vendor when you can get accurate information from us for free. All along we were concerned about foreign actors sewing confusion and dissension among our voters," he added. "We didn't realize we had to worry about our own local governments and so-called good government groups. The Common Cause complaint wasted taxpayer resources as it was initially vetted by the Cyber Incident Response Team as a social engineering cyber threat."
The effort may also step on the toes of the job of the Voter Assistance Advisory Commission, a Charter-mandated entity to increase voter turnout."Coordination between the Mayor's Office and VAAC in promoting voter participation is vital to prevent duplication and the types of confusion that we see today," he wrote.
And Public Advocate Letitia James, who will be on the ballot in November as the Democratic candidate for attorney general, said the "situation must be addressed immediately."
"It is deeply concerning that this administration is actively contributing to voter confusion, especially at such a critical time in our country," she said. "We should be doing everything in our power to make voting as easy as possible, not hindering the process."

PCB announces financial support for unemployed women players
Lahore [Pakistan], Aug 6 (ANI): The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday announced a three-month financial support package for the unemployed national women cricketers.
The proposal was put forward by the women's wing headed by Urooj Mumtaz and it has now been approved by PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani. Under this scheme, 25 women cricketers will benefit and will receive a monthly stipend of PKR 25,000 each from August to October.
The 25 women cricketers were selected following a selection criterion, which included featuring in the 2019-20 national domestic season and them not being contracted for the 2020-21 season.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a halt to all women cricketing activities worldwide. This has adversely affected our women cricketers, some of whom are the sole breadwinners of their families," Urooj Mumtaz said in an official statement.
"As the women's game is making steady progress, it was imperative that the PCB came up with this scheme to not only protect and support our players but to also make them understand and realise that the PCB values them and will look after them in difficult times," she added.
If the cricketers are presently without a job, contract or business, then they also fit the selection criteria. The decision to offer a three-month financial support package to 25 women cricketers was taken after analysing the present economic challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has also affected cricket activities.
In June, the PCB had announced a list of women's contracted players, which included nine centrally contracted cricketers and as many emerging contracted players. These are 12-month contracts, which commenced on July 1.
The latest PCB decision means 43 women cricketers will now be supported by the board.
In an identical scheme to help the affected combat the present challenges, the PCB, in May, had offered one-time support to 161 stakeholders, including former men's first-class cricketers, match officials, scorers and curators. (ANI)

The Jaguars have a key reserve/special teams contributor back in the fold for 2019.
The team on Saturday signed safety Jarrod Wilson to a three-year contract. Wilson was set to become a restricted free agent in March.
Wilson, 24, originally signed with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent in 2016 and has appeared in 47 games with two starts during his three-year career. Both starts came over the final two weeks of the 2018 season, when Wilson filled in for an injured Ronnie Harrison (knee) against Miami and Houston.
Wilson finished with 16 tackles on defense, including two for loss, and two passes defensed. He also forced a fumble (Buffalo) and had five solo tackles on special teams, which was tied with four others for most on the team. Wilson has 16 career special teams tackles.
It's possible the Jaguars have bigger plans for Wilson than his usual role on special teams. They can save $7.45 million by cutting free safety Tashaun Gipson, who is currently slated to start next to Harrison next season. If the Jaguars move on from Gipson to save money, Wilson could be a candidate for a starting role.

"A superbly stylish throwback to the 1950s! Genuine fun, fizz and frenzy...total silliness" — The Chicago Sun-Times
"An amusing, light-hearted send-up of 50s teen culture...Written in
1960, this Broadway musical may have been one of the earliest satires of
1950s middle-class society......the entire show is a colorful delight."
- Tom Williams, Chicago Critic
"A rollicking musical firmly rooted in the '50s, Bye Bye Birdie
has been popular since its 1960 Broadway debut. Michael Stewart's
scripts holds up...the tunes are eminently hummable...the show stopped
as individual scenes recieved ovations from the capacity audience." -

So I gave up and came into work at 04:30. I'm not normally in until 10:00, so I plan to try to get out of here early today. But still, I expect that in a few hours my body will realize I never actually slept a wink and it will become unhappy with me. I"m still feeling kind of scrambled - I am tired so trying to focus on a task is annoying.
Yeah, this is how I wanted to start the week.

Judokas take bronze in Ekaterinburg
Russian national team took third place in the first ever European Mixed Team Judo Championships, which took place on July 18, in Ekaterinburg.
The Championships was attended by 21 national teams, each consisting of 6 members – three men (weight categories -73kg, -90kg and +90kg) and three women (-57kg, -70kg and +70kg).
Joining the fight in the second round, Russians first defeated their rivals from Ukraine 4-0. Darya Mezhetskaya (57kg), Musa Mogushkov (73kg), Taisiya Kireeva (70kg) and Khusen Khalmurzaev (90kg) won their fights. It was enough for the ahead-of-time success.
In the quarterfinals the Czech team also lost in a whitewash. Anastasia Konkina (57 kg), Denis Yartsev (73 kg), Taisia Kireeva (70 kg) and Ivan Vorobyov (90 kg) performed in his match.
However in the semifinals the German team was waiting for us. This time Konkina and Yartsev lost, Alyona Prokopenko (70 kg) reduced the gap in the score, but Khalmurzaev did not support her initiative. Ksenia Chibisova (+70 kg) also suffered a defeat. And the total score was 1-4.
In the third place match Russians again did not let their rivals (the team from Azerbaijan) win a single fight.
The victories were won by Mezhetskaya, Mogushkov, Prokopenko and Khalmurzaev. The second set of bronze medals went to Ukraine, which defeated France in the end 4-3.
The German team became the winner, defeating Holland 4-2 in the finals.
We will remind that last year the IOC included the mixed team Judo competitions in the program of the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games. President of the Russian Olympic Committee Stanislav Pozdnyakov visited Ekaterinburg. After the tournament he told journalists that successful performance in Japan is the main goal of Russian judokas.
– It is up to experts to judge, but, as far as I can feel, the team looked good enough, Pozdnyakov told the journalists. — For us it is very important that it looks good in two years in Tokyo. I can wish all our team good luck in gaining maximum quotas for the Olympic Games and good preparation for the competition.
The head of the ROC also praised the organizers of the tournament, noting that Ekaterinburg has become another excellent example of how international competitions can be staged in Russia.

Shalini Lanbah v. M/s Unitech Ltd. & Anr.
This case was decided by the National Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission (National Commission) in October this year, whereby the National Commission directed Unitech Ltd. to refund the entire amount to the homebuyer alongwith interest @10% per annum.
Also read All you need to Know about Real Estate Law in India
Factual Matrix- The complainant herein has filed the consumer complaint against the Builder Unitech Ltd. (opposite party in the case). The Complainant alleged that she had booked an apartment in one of the projects of opposite party in 2006 and was assured possession that the apartment would be delivered within 36 months. The total consideration amount agreed by the parties was ₹66,40,938/- and admittedly the complainant paid total sum of ₹59,78,355/- to the opposite party against the agreed consideration amount. Despite that opposite party failed to complete the construction and deliver possession of the apartment after expiry of stipulated date of delivery of possession.
Aggrieved by this the Complainant filed a consumer complaint against the opposite party for deficiency in services under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The opposite party in the case contended that delay in completing the construction and delivering possession of the subject apartment to the complainant was unintentional and the opposite party was prevented from completing the construction and deliver possession because of circumstances beyond the control of the opposite party.
Commission's Holding- The National Commission did not accept Unitech's plea on the ground that Unitech did not adduce any evidence to substantiate its contention.
The National Commission stated that the facts indicated that the delivery was promised to complainant by 16.09.2009. That more than 90% amount has been paid by the complainant to the opposite party but even after eight years after the expiry of stipulated date of delivery of possession, the opposite party failed to deliver the possession. The National Commission ruled that as the opposite party in the case has opted not to file written statement despite of service of notice of complaint, the allegations of the complainants were deemed to have been admitted as correct.
That despite of having received more than 90% of the consideration amount, the opposite party has failed to deliver possession of the subject apartment to the complainant. In absence of any explanation for failure to comply with the stipulation of delivery of possession, it was held that the opposite has committed deficiency in service as also has indulged in unfair trade practice.
Amount of compensation- National Commission ruled that this being a case where the opposite party not being in a position to offer possession of the apartment as the allottee could not be expected to wait for possession of the apartment for indefinite period.
The Commission directed the Opposite party to shall the entire amount of ₹59,78,355/- (Rupees Fifty Nine Lakh Seventy Eight Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty Five only) to the complainant within six weeks alongwith compensation of simple interest @ 10% per annum from the date of each payment till the realisation of the amount alongwith Rs. 10,000 as cost of litigation.

From a reader:
Hi Jonah,
Longtime reader, first time emailer. I saw your post on Anne Applebaum's column and just wanted to rant about Ivy League stereotyping. I was an engineering undergrad at Harvard and I'm now at Harvard Law. Being a real conservative or libertarian here requires a lot more dedication than anyone gives us credit for. I had to argue with Elizabeth Warren about economic liberty in Contracts. I had to argue for natural rights against Alan Dershowitz in Criminal Law. Every class, every discussion is stacked against us. And the only thanks we ever seem to get from conservative writers is to be rhetorically roped in with the people we spend all our time arguing against. Once in a while, it would be nice to have someone point out that not every Ivy Leaguer is a statist Obamaphile.
Me: Looks like someone needs to read my intro to Proud to Be Right!
Oh, and here are some of the latest reviews.

COM Aquatics celebrates 50 years this weekend
City of Midland Aquatics will celebrate its 50th anniversary this weekend.
On display for Midland residents, club members and COM alumni will be memories of the decades of dominance in club swimming and diving and the creation of wellness facilities.
Today, COM Aquatics boasts a swim and dive team with more than 400 swimmers and divers. It also claims an annual budget of $4 million -- 95 percent of which is received through program-generated revenue. That is a far cry from 1967 when a handful of parents, according to COM's anniversary guide, decided to create an AAU swim team and aquatics program. COM at that time had no pool, no coach and 29 swimmers.
COM has been the home of state champions and Olympic Trials performers in the pool and on the diving boards and platforms.
Its building projects have been as impressive.
The crown jewel is the 43,000-square-foot, $10 million FMH Natatorium, which opened last year. But the COM is also about the facilities -- including seven different pools -- for the 1,500 adults participating in programs from water aerobics to lap swimming and the 700 children who swim or dive on COM Aquatics teams or participate in learn-to-swim or other programs. In 2015, COM provided more than 10,000 physical therapy visits.
"To grow COM, we had to be an all-encompassing aquatic center," COM Aquatics Director Brad Swendig said. "Our direction was chosen for us. We have put money into this thing. It isn't to see how fast people can swim but to build facilities for all people."
Swendig said the story of COM Aquatics is the story of Midland as the number of kids wearing those iconic COM swim caps has grown by a factor of 20. Over the years, few sports can rival COM for the number of championships won, Midlanders who went on compete collegiately and those who have competed at a national and even international level.
COM also has been home to state-level competitions, the Junior National swim championships and the U.S Diving National Championships. This spring, COM Aquatics was inducted into the Texas Swimming & Diving Hall of Fame.
"The spirit of Midland is also the spirit of Midland," Swendig said.
This weekend, the reunion gala includes a mixer Friday and benefit brunch Sunday. On Saturday, organizers are planning for a workout, relays, open swim, dive show and then a dinner at the Commemorative Air Force main hangar.
COM Ring of Honor
Nash Dowdle, Terry Gathercole, Kevin Allen, Natalie Hinds, Brad Swendig, Monica Stroman, John Seay, Charles Koch, Gary Schatz and Doug Russell.

Tanya Lee | Jordan wasn't perfect
When I watched 'The Last Dance,' a documentary on ESPN and Netflix, like the rest of the world, it was evident that Michael Jordan personifies greatness and solidified that '90s basketball, the basketball I grew up watching, was the most exciting era of the sport.
It was a time when then league commissioner David Stern revolutionised the game and cable television became global, allowing fans to see the best of American sports.
American sports are driven by a phenomenal marketing machinery and pushed by shoe companies, leagues, and television stations seeking to sensationalise anything that brings economic gain.
Ad Weekly counted over 100 shots of Nike's famous swoosh during one episode of 'The Last Dance'.
As the series progressed, I became increasingly uncomfortable with some of what I consider the fabricated portrayals. American sports, in an attempt to create a godlike figure out of mere mortals, strikes again.
To understand the true nature of Michael Jordan and the fabricated stories, one has to go back to 1989.
In 1989, the NBA, aiming to get basketball in the minds of young fans, produced a best-selling Jordan documentary called 'Come Fly With Me'. At the time, VHS tapes were immensely popular among pre-teens, and the hope was that Jordan, the young face of the league, would rival Disney films on the VHS shelves.
That 'documentary' tells a fabricated story of a young Jordan cut from his high school basketball team. Five minutes in enters a rural black man named Fred Lynch, who smiles at the camera, professing to be Jordan's high-school coach who cut him from the team. The problem is that Jordan was never cut from any team, Lynch never met Michael Jordan, and he wasn't coaching at Laney High in 1978. Fred Lynch would later say that he had been coerced to pretend to be Jordan's coach.
The actual coach, Pop Herring, said in an article in Sports Illustrated magazine in 2012 that Mike, then 5'10", tried out for the sophomore team and made it. The senior team roster did not include sophomores, with one exception. Pop's senior players were short, so the coach unprecedently included a 6'7" sophomore named Leroy Smith on the senior team.
The story is that Jordan, seeing his friend Smith on the senior list, became enraged with jealousy and took it personally. He proceeded to use that as motivation right through high school and his NBA career. Even in his hall of fame speech, he repeated the tall tale of being "cut from the team".
No surprise to anyone. Jordan had a history of perceiving slights to fuel his inner drive. The NBA, seemingly, didn't care to fact check, which is unethical in the context of a "documentary".
A documentary is a film that provides a factual report on a particular subject. It is a non-fictional account primarily done to maintain a historical record. Typically, subjects are not included in the editing process. Doing that compromises history and misinforms the generation of fans not old enough or even alive at the time.
'The Last Dance' gave Jordan production rights as the final authority. It includes scores of questionable "facts" that have left his teammates befuddled, and Scottie Pippen, his trusted wingman without whom the Bulls could not have won six championships, reportedly upset.
The series showed General Manager (GM) Jerry Krause being constantly mocked by his players. What it doesn't tell you is Krause's immense contribution to those six championships through his legendary scouting skills. Krause, now deceased, was probably the best GM in basketball history, responsible for assembling the role-players and the masterly coach Phil Jackson.
Michael the leader
The series positions Michael as an inspirational leader who brought out the best out in his teammates. Numerous prior interviews and teammate biographies detail Jordan's toxic and abusive leadership style.
He occasionally broke his teammates' morale through bullying and even got into fights, reportedly sometimes if he thought someone had shown him up in practice. Derogatory nicknames, withholding food if they didn't meet his standards, and other bizarre tactics show a less-than-ideal role model.
Jordan reportedly was so consumed by the need to win that teammates would sometimes feel "relief" rather than exhilaration after a championship. B.J. Armstrong shared as much in the series.
Michael the gambler
Jordan's compulsive gambling problem was vaguely addressed. His alleged illegal habit was as sordid as the murky swamp waters over which they found the body of James Jordan in 1993. The elder Jordan, strangely, was reported missing all of three weeks after his disappearance, further fuelling rumours that it may have been connected to his son's gambling habits.
The NBA had an ongoing investigation around Jordan and his ties to illegal gambling, and, by extension, the criminal underworld. This, conspicuously, coincided with his decision to retire, after which the NBA dropped the investigation.
Many fans couldn't make sense of why the most competitive human being on the planet, at the height of his career, would walk away from the love of his life at a time when he probably needed basketball the most.
The far-reaching effects of his gambling are heavily documented with even an underage Marcus Jordan, Michael's youngest son. It prompted an investigation after the 19-year-old dropped over US$50,000 while gambling in Las Vegas in 2010.
Jordan once said, "I've gotten myself into situations where I would not walk away, and I've pushed the envelope. Is that compulsive? If you're willing to jeopardise your livelihood and your family, then yeah."
We never saw any real account of Jordan the husband, the dad, the social activist. For many, the greatest basketballer that ever played may have painted an image of a black Jesus on the court, but as with most other sports heroes, not everything about Jordan is worth celebrating.

"Legion of Nagash" is the name of one of the three Death warbands available for Warcry in form of "faction cards".
If you already have a Legions of Nagash army, chances are you already have enough miniatures to play Warcry and start a Legions of Nagash Warband:
all you need is to buy the card expansion (5£ and provided you can find them in a store!) and join someone with a board, the rules and some scenery.
This warband plays exactly like in the tabletop version: suffocating your enemy with waves of undead skeletons and the ability to resurrect them.
The only downside is that your leader is the key of the warband: once dead the rest will crumble.
This short introduction takes you through the fighters of the warband, their abilities, and a few tips on strategy and painting the models.
There is not much lore on the warband, as it's derived from a fully supported Age of Sigmar army.
For more information on the Legions of Nagash Age of Sigmar army check out my article here.

Overview and Points for the Fighters in the Legions of Nagash Warband
Note: if you haven't read the basic rules for Warcry before reading this article, it might be helpful to know that the game's abilities are activated by using 6 dice that you roll at the start of your turn.
If two of the dice show the same value, they can be used to activate a Double ability. If three show the same value, they can be used for a Triple ability, and so on.
So, when this article refers to an ability being a Double, a Triple or a Quad, it refers to this system. It might sound a bit confusing, but takes no time to get used to when you start playing
Necromancer: 195 points
The Necromancer is your only leader option, therefore it's an essential part of your army.
Most abilities also require him to be within 6" of the target so you will need to keep him close to your skeletons.
With toughness 4 and 25 wounds he is not the weakest leader available, but you need to keep him safe as losing him means not being able to use most abilities.
He should be surrounded by friendly fighters at all time, not only to strengthen them but also to use them as sacrificial puppets to heal back some wounds.
For a triple, Necrotic Siphon, you can damage a friendly miniature for the value of the triple and heal back double that value. But beware of snipers!
His quad ability, Vanhel's Danse Macabre, nice reference to his signature spell in Age of Sigmar, allows a bonus move or a bonus action to as many friendly fighters within 6" of him as the value of the quad.
His ranged attack (3-7") can hit hard (6 critical damage) while the close combat option still has 2" range, useful to hit the closer enemies while keeping your skeletons in between.
Seneschal: 120 points
The leader of the Grave Guard is the Seneschal, your elite champion. With toughness and movement 3 they don't last long but they can hit really hard with 4 attacks at strength 5.
Attack and strength can be improved with two double abilities, including Chosen Champion that allows to add +1 attack and +1 strength if he is within 6" of the Necromancer for a potential 10 attacks (5 attacks per action) with 6 damage each critical… ouch!
Grave Guard: 85 or 90 points
The basic Grave Guard comes with 2 possible options: one with a Great Wight Blade for 85 points, and one with Wight Blade and Crypt Shield for 90 points.
The difference between the two is that the 2-handed weapon version hits at strength 5 with +1 on critical damage for 5 points less than the shielded version. However, the latter gets a toughness 4 (+1) that really improves the longevity of the miniature.
As these are your elite options, if you can, experiment to see what your preferences are.
For further damage the Grave Guards (including the Seneschal) have the only ability that does not require a leader nearby: for a double add +1 to the damage. Useful to leave some Grave Guards isolated from the main group.
Skeleton Champion: 80 points
Exactly like the Seneschal he has access to the Chosen Champion ability, but apart that he is a slightly better version of the basic skeletons.
4 wounds more at toughness 4 can make him last a bit longer but his point cost it's probably excessive for the difference.
Skeleton Warrior: 55 points
Your basic troops: with toughness 4 and 8 wounds they will not last long.
There are two versions: the Ancient Spear for 2" weapon range and +1 damage on critical versus the Ancient Blade version for +1 attack.
The spear version is extremely useful if you manage to use the scenery to block access to an area and form two ranks of miniatures or to hit the enemy behind the front line.
Abilities for the Legions of Nagash Warband
- Shambling Horde (Double): bonus move for half the value of the ability but you need to start within 6" of a leader.
- Chosen Champion (Double): (Seneschal and Skeleton Champion only) +1 Attack and Strength if within 6" of a leader.
- Cursed Weapon (Double): (any Grave Guard only) +1 to damage for weapons with range 3 or less. Only ability that does not require a leader nearby.
- Necrotic Siphon (Triple): (Necromancer only) damage a friendly fighter within 6" for the value of the ability but heal back the leader for double that amount.
- Summon Undead (Triple): (Necromancer only) set up any fighter taken down again wholly within 3" from the leader and with a number of wounds remaining equal to the value of the ability.
- Vanhel's Danse Macabre (Quad): (Necromancer only) execute a bonus move or a bonus attack with as many friendly fighters as the value of the ability as long as they are within 6" of the leader.
Strategy and Tactics for the Legions of Nagash Warband
The Legions of Nagash are a strong warband with numbers on their side.
However, with low mobility and a toughness of 3 for your most elite units and 4 but only 8 wounds for your basic troops, you will suffer being surrounded or isolated.
Snipers and ranged attacks in general can really take down this warband quickly in particular if they manage to knock out your leader.
You will struggle in those scenarios where you have to defend one of the groups and this does not include your leader or is too far from your leader, but you can compensate in those scenarios were you have to control objectives.
If you time correctly you can deny victory to your opponent by resurrecting a key fighter that was taken down and bringing it closer to your leader before the remaining targets are finished off.
This requires a triple, your leader to be alive and not surrounded by enemy fighters that have not activated yet otherwise your evil laughter will be short-lived…
In summary it's a warband that can give a lot of satisfaction but will require a lot of strategy and attention to be used and is probably not recommended to beginners.
How to buy a Legions of Nagash Warband
Note: all prices used are standard Games Workshop prices. It is possible to get the different things cheaper (check the links for prices).
Unlike the Chaos Warbands for Warcry, the other factions do not come in a specific box. You have to go out and get the models from the normal Age of Sigmar boxes instead.
There are two different Necromancer models available: one is a direct order only from GW store and is the old miniature of Heinrich Kemmler, an old Warhammer iconic figure, the other is widely available in any store.
The Grave Guard box contains 10 miniatures and allows you to create 2 seneschals (although only one every 10 is now allowed in Age of Sigmar) and 8 other guards with either combination of 2-handed weapon or blade and shield. With the General Handbook 2019 Grave Guard minimum unit size is now 10 instead of 5, so you will not be able to assemble both options with one single box and still have a valid Age of Sigmar unit.
If you are not bothered, assemble half one way and half the other way. If you prefer being able to use the unit in both games, you may want to start with the 2-handed weapons option for more hit damage and expand at a later stage.
For the skeletons, there are different options available to you depending on which direction you want to go. The simplest box costs 17.5£ and contains 10 skeletons, allowing you customization with both options plus one Skeleton Champion. If unit coherency with Age of Sigmar troubles you, then you have to choose your main loadout.
If you go for spears, like most armies, you can find some swords and another Skeleton Champion in the Sepulchral Guard, a warband for Warhammer Underworlds (17.5£ with cards, 15£ without). You are also getting some of the best skeleton models ever made.
If you need spears, there is one scythe in the same warband you can proxy, or for 6£ you can find 5 skeletons via direct order from GW store only with spears. You will need to add some 25mm round bases in that case.
In summary to start your warband you will need around 53£ (prices from GW store) and that gives you 21 miniatures and plenty of customization options.
Tips on painting the Legions of Nagash
Show me you skelebobs!
Send me pictures of your Legions of Nagash warband and I will put it on this page.
You can read more about how to make that happen here.
Grave Guard and Skeletons can be painted really similar and they fit perfectly the batch painting tutorials available online, in particular the one from the Citadel website (and embedded below for convenience)
The necromancer can be painted in different ways and really only your creativity is the limit but would probably recommend using darker tones for the robes and paler colours for the flesh.
The contrast paints can provide a useful base, like Guilliman Flesh or Skeleton Horde.
If you want to get a bit more creative and maybe learn a new painting technique, I suggest doing them with a "wet-bland-basecoat". It is a quick and easy skill, which even beginners can get great results from. I learned this from Sam Lenz doing it some skeletons from the Sepulchral Guard.

Attorney General No.
Secretary of State No.
TAXES, FEES, ASSESSMENTS. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Limits authority of local governments, including charter governments, to impose taxes and property-related assessments and fees. Requires majority of voters approve increases in general taxes. Prohibits property-related assessments except for capital, maintenance and operation costs for sidewalks, streets, sewers, water, flood control, drainage, vector control, unless all property owners sign petition. Requires voter ratification of specified assessments imposed after June 6, 1978; general taxes after January 1, 1995. Specifies procedures for implementing assessments, fees. Limits fees to cost of service. Most new or increased fees require majority vote of property owners or two-thirds of affected residents. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: The measure's restrictions on fees would result in immediate local government revenue losses, possibly exceeding $100 million, and more if voters fail to ratify assessments and taxes, or use initiative powers to reduce local revenues. A reduction of millions to tens of millions of dollars of future local government revenues is possible due to restrictions on raising revenues. The measure could also result in millions in increased annual local government costs related to new procedures, including election requirements.

My essay was one of thousands submitted. I'm happy to report that I was not selected. And for good reason. I've listened to Elizabeth's first three podcasts, and her selections were spot-on. The featured creatives posed multi-layered challenges for the reasons they felt blocked in their creativity.
Listening to Elizabeth peel back the layers of each of their issues was enlightening and helpful in my own creative life.
My submission was genuine, but it was also boring--vanilla. Truthfully, I know the answer to the problem I posed: rest and pushing through. Those are the two things I need to achieve my creative pursuits, and so while I would love to speak with Elizabeth Gilbert and discuss the magic of the creative life, she was wise to pass up my submission.
There's really nothing else to say. I'm slowly making my way to 300 Rejections.

How nice...
Safelyremove tells me that explorer is accesing the drive (actually, the only "access" is a FOLDER VIEW of drive h:\somedir open.
So I see the "process" and I say "ok, I'll let safelyremove kill it", and it proceeds to KILL THE WHOLE DESKTOP (instead of closing the folder view), so... the desktop never comes back. I'm left with the applications already open and that's it.
1. Is this working as intended?
2. If it's going to kill the whole desktop and it never comes back (XP SP2 here, FWIW), why not show a warning of some kind?
3. Why not close the folder view, rather than the whole desktop
4. Why does the "scanning" trying to find the process which is accessing the drive take so darn long? I'd use WinXP's built-in util, it takes about the same time to tell me it can't unplug the device.
