What Doctors Won't Tell You: Find Out 6 Habits That Endanger Your Health
Protests Halt Activities At UI As SSANU, NASU Demand N30b Earned Allowance
University of Ibadan (UI) came to a halt on Monday morning as the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) of the institution began a three-day protest to demand N30 billion earned allowance. They are also protesting the Federal Government's alleged refusal to obey court judgment on staff school salaries.
Security architecture in the university community was placed on alert with the movement of security patrol teams.The peaceful protest, which drew scores of affected workers to the main gate of the institution, also affected smooth vehicular movements in and out of the school premises.The protesting workers were armed with placards with inscriptions like: "We demand N30 billion to pay part of our earned allowance now"; "FG stop provoking inter-union crises in Nigerian universities"; "FG, please obey court judgment on staff school", among others.
Chairman, SSANU UI Wale Akinremi, who was flanked by other union leaders, said any nation that treats teachers the way "we treat ours in Nigeria will never be destined for greatness".Akinremi said the three-day protests would be followed by a branch protest and the "mother of all protests at the national level, which would shake the corridors of power to its foundation".Last week, the national bodies of both unions frowned at the alleged preferential treatment extended to Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) by the Federal Government as seen in the allocation of 80 percent of money released, leaving the non-academic staff with 20 percent.In a resolution reached after its meeting, read by the Chairman of JAC and National President of SSANU, Comrade Samson Ugwoke, the non-teaching university workers rejected the 20 per cent earned allowance allocated to the three non-teaching unions.JAC called on the Federal Government to as a matter of urgency to release N30 billion belonging to non-teaching staff between 2009 to 2016.Ugwoke, who stressed that the protest was aimed at sending a notice of strike to the Federal Government, called on its members to ensure full compliance with the directive to show its relevance to the university system.

Top 5 Tips for Smoking Your Way To Success
To many, the act of barbecuing meat may seem as easy as simply throwing something on the grill. While this will work fine, a little bit of knowhow and a few different techniques can mean significantly tastier results.
Smoking is a method of preparation that is older than recorded history and, from Bosnian Suho Miso all the way to Southern BBQ brisket, the enhanced flavours ensure it is considered a delicacy in a variety of cultures. While electric, charcoal, gas or wood smokers will all get the job done the Weber Smokey Mountain comes highly recommended for this sort of work and it can also be used as a standard kettle charcoal BBQ. Alternatively, the Weber Style Smoker Box is an excellent addition to your collection of barbecue accessories and can give you all the benefits of smoking whilst using a gas grill. If you're a first-timer, here are a few tips to get you started:
1. Smoking doesn't necessarily mean slow cooking:
While smoking has a certain reputation that suggests you should be cooking chunks of meat for hours at a time this isn't necessarily true. The same principle of great taste through smoking also applies even it is just a matter of minutes and is often the preferred method if you are preparing vegetables, shrimp and steak.
2. No Peeking
Even though it can be difficult to resist checking up on your meat, try to lift the lid as little as possible. Temperature and smoke are vital to the process of smoking and both of these components are lost as soon as you sneak a look underneath the lid. Try not to fiddle around too much: If you're planning on checking up on the food or want to tend to the fire or the water pan, just do all three at once and minimise the amount of the time that the lid is up. In short: Relax!
3. Don't Overdo It.
It can be tempting to throw on a lot of woodchip in the hope that it will increase flavour but very often all this will ensure is that wood will become too prominent in the recipe. A good tip to help fight this urge and make sure you're not overdoing it is to smoke your meat for approximately half of the overall cooking time. Planning on cooking ribs for four hours? Smoke them for two and let the heat do the rest.
4. Pay attention to the smoke.
Put simply: White smoke is a good sign while black smoke most definitely is not. Black smoke indicates that the woodchip needs to be moved around a little and the air is becoming trapped so be sure to keep your eyes peeled. While white smoke flavours the food and is what you should be aiming for at all times black smoke simply means your meat won't taste anywhere near as good.
5. Check Your Vents
Your bottom vents should be wide open and it's well worth checking them to make sure that they are not clogged up with ash. Similarly, the top vents on the lid should also be open. In addition, your top vents should be positioned away from the direction that the smoke is travelling: This draws the smoke over your food meaning that it spends more time under the lid flavouring your food before leaving through the vent.
If you follow these tips you're sure to end up with meat the Smoking good!

No Abuse Of Discretion Demonstrated.
In re Marriage of Rafipoor, Case Nos. G053243/G053665 (4th Dist., Div. 3 Jan. 18, 2018) (unpublished) involved a situation where ex-husband was assessed with Family Code section 271 sanctions in the amount of $20,000. Among other things, the record suggested that husband made a motion with his finger across his throat while certain witnesses were testifying in court. The appellate court agreed that harassment of witnesses is bad faith conduct hampering cooperation between parties and attorneys for section 271 sanctions purposes. 271 sanctions award was affirmed here based on failure to show the award was an abuse of discretion. Presiding Justice O'Leary authored the 3-0 panel decision.

The great charm of French films is they often start slowly, building up an intimate and innocent picture of the characters and their daily lives and then the plot emerges organically out of this and everything becomes apparent.
This film nearly does it, but not quite, and dwells on some long tedious scenes that don't seem to have anything to do with the film. There were too many "what's that all about?" comments from us throughout the film.
For instance there's a scene of the Grandfather travelling along a pavement, alone in his powered wheelchair, and filmed from across a busy road with only the sound of the traffic going by. It goes on, and on, and on, before he eventually stops and has a lengthy conversation (which is unheard) with some immigrants. Just one those scenes which appear baffling and unconnected. There's lots like this, and Toby Jones acts his character well, but he hasn't got much to go on as we never really find out who his character is and what his role is.
The only worthwhile scene in the film is the touching conversation between 13 year old Eve and her grandfather in his study, lots emerge here and there is a superb understanding develops between the two.
By the end of the film, a slight understanding of the characters of this dysfunctional family is emerging, but only in small hints, and not enough to fill out a storyline. Then it ends.
If the film could be shortened (there's enough slow stuff that can be jettisoned) then this would make and excellent episode one of a series that could then go on to develop the roles of the characters such as the son with a chip on his shoulder, and then more on young Eve. There is an affair going on between Eve's father and Claire that really didn't get much coverage and could be enlarged upon.
Some advice: Fast Forward through the opening credits as they are interrupted with five long, and I mean long, scenes shot from a mobile phone. A girl in the bathroom brushing her teeth and then brushing her hair, and then gargling. Then a hamster in a cage for a long time (well it felt long), then someone sitting by a computer desk. They are incredibly annoying and don't do anything for the film.
Slower than wood and nowhere near as useful. We gave up on this tedious drivel way before the end, or even the middle, maybe it has a super finale we will never know or care, a complete waste of acting talent.
We did watch this until the end but kind of wished we hadn't. It never really went anywhere. Beautiful and boring in equal measure!
Yet ANOTHER boring movie with a convoluted storyline that, in the end, said nothing. I want my money back! No, seriously. What has happened to French movies? I used to love watching their interesting characters and thoughtful plots, but now it's disappointment all round. Isabelle Huppert is either a very boring actress, or just likes playing boring parts, as this is the third film I've watched with her as the lead character that has sent me to sleep.

A billion-dollar fashion empire, and it's about to be mine…
I've worked a decade for this. I've sold my soul and my reputation. I've lived a lie, smiled for the cameras, and hated myself, all for this inheritance.
And then … she pops up. A mysterious heir with a rap sheet, combat boots, and a mouth that I want to pin shut with my—
It doesn't matter. I've played this game for a decade. I can continue the charade a little longer, keep my hands to myself and her body out of my mind. I can keep my secret until the ink dries and everything is mine.

BRIAN Clough and Don Revie are two of the most successful English managers of all time.
Both were born in Middlesbrough but only one is fondly remembered as a local hero.
Clough was a lethal striker for both Boro and Sunderland and his achievements have been rightly recognised with a terrific statue in Albert Park.
The same can't be said for Revie, who didn't play for his hometown club but nonetheless achieved great things both as a footballer and manager.
Boro fan Rob Nichols, who edits the long-running fanzine Fly To The Moon, believes it's time the redress the balance.
To that end he has organised a walk between the childhood homes of Clough, who won the title with Derby and Nottingham Forest plus back-to-back European Cups with the latter, and Revie, who domestic and European honours with Leeds United.
Football fans and Teessiders interested in local history are invited to take part in the guided walk from Valley Road, where Clough grew up, and Bell Street, where Revie spent his formative years.
The inspiration behind the event, which is part of the Discover Middlesbrough Festival, initially came when he read Roger Hermiston's book Clough & Revie - The Rivals Who Changed The Face Of English Football.
The author is planning to take part in the walk, which will get underway at 1pm on Friday.
"There's a chapter in the book where Roger writes about the walk between the homes of Clough and Revie," explained Rob.
"It struck me then that the route takes in so much of Middlesbrough's social history.
"There's Albert Park, of course, through which Clough walked to training, Rea's Cafe on Linthorpe Road, which was a regular haunt of Boro players for many years, along Ayresome Street, past the old ground and over the main road to Archibald School, which Revie attended.
"Revie himself lived just a short walk away from the school around the corner in Bell Street.
"They lived so close to each, with Ayresome Park in between and both were big boyhood fans of the club."
Rob hopes that the event will raise Revie's standing among the wider Teesside public.
"When I was at school Leeds were one of the biggest clubs in England and Europe," he explained.
"Although I supported Boro, I was proud of the fact that two of the biggest figures in football at the time - Revie and Clough - were from my hometown.
"They were massive figures in the 1970s, they dominated the media in a way you probably couldn't now.
"Probably the only comparable managers now would be Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.
"I think Revie's reputation and standing was affected by the fact that he wasn't a success when he managed England.
"But it's hard to think of two more successful English managers than Clough and Revie."
ANYONE interested in taking part in the walk should meet at the cafe next to the boating lake in Albert Park at 1pm on Friday.

CHICAGO – The No. 1 University of Chicago women's soccer team continued its dominance of Division III opponents with the Maroons' 13th win by more than one goal in Sunday's 3-0 victory over conference opponent Case Western Reserve University on Sunday.
The undefeated Maroons (14-0, 4-0 University Athletic Association) have had just one match decided by one goal in a 2-1 win over Wheaton Sept. 26. Sunday, UChicago got on the scoreboard first with a Mia Calamari blast from 30 yards out that shot inside the right post in just the 7th minute of play. Sophomore teammate Mackenzie Peebles assisted on the play.
On a blustery day at the Stagg Field turf, the 1-0 lead held until halftime, until the Maroons struck again in the 46th minute, when Calamari delivered a centering pass into the box near the far post. A Case defender tried to clear but instead headed the ball in to give the Maroons a two-goal advantage.
Sophomore Julia Lodoen then capitalized off a redirect from a Rachel Dias corner kick, which Claudia Hodgetts headed across to Lodoen for a header finish to make it 3-0, Maroons.
UChicago dominated in the shot category, 24-4, including a stellar 14-0 on goal. Senior Kelsey Moore took four of those shots, which were spread among 14 different players. The Maroon offense was relentless, accounting for 19 corner kicks compared to one for the Spartans.
Starting keeper Katie Donovan played the first 45 minutes and recorded the win, her 11th, and teammates Sydney Jones and Miranda Malone finished out the game to preserve UChicago's 10th shutout of the season and fifth in a row.
CWRU fell to 5-9 overall and 0-4 in the UAA with the loss.
Thursday, Oct. 19: #1 UChicago at Illinois Tech, 6 p.m. CT

Decision-Making Part 3:
The Decision Making Rosetta Stone
In 1799, a stone was found with writing in 2 scripts of Ancient Egyptian (including hieroglyphics ) and Ancient Greek, with each telling the same story. This allowed researchers to unlock the Egyptian hieroglyphics and understand this previously elusive language. This amazing relic is known as The Rosetta Stone.
In the study of decision-making, there is a lot of discussion about processes, mental models, setting of criteria and more. All of that is interesting and important…and generally far more involved than most entrepreneurs care to dive into, given their time constraints.
So, I would like to suggest a simple "Rosetta Stone"; a way of thinking about decisions and whether you are making the right choices.
Of course, there are many considerations that impact the quality of any business decision: profitability, productivity, community impact, product selection, motivation and loyalty of your people, cash flow, customer relationships, brand reputation and more. But sometimes, – even many times – when making those decisions, there is more involved than just the question of whether or not it serves some financial interest. We find ourselves wondering "What is the right thing to do?" We experience an internal "itch" that makes this feel like a pressing concern. We understand that our decisions affect others and therefore we have a responsibility to think a bit more deeply.
Years ago, I was studying Shaolin Kung Fu. After one of our meditations, the Sifu (or instructor) suggested there is one question that, if asked consistently, will build a powerful muscle that will increase the likelihood that one will more frequently make the right decision. (Or "a" right decision. Many times, there are alternatives, all of which are viable.)
Before I share this question, I want to tee it up a little bit. When I share it with people, their initial reaction often is that it is too "touchy feely " or to "mushy and squishy" for a driven entrepreneur. However, in my experience, this fundamentally misunderstands the power of the question. I actually believe it is one of the most bad-ass considerations with which you can challenge yourself. It asks you to get your ego out of the way, to not worry about what people will think of you and to just do what's right.
Here's the question:
"What would Love do?"
Simple, right? Well…not so much.
Let's say you have an employee who is chronically underperforming. What would love do? Well, the people who think the question is soft and mushy believe the answer involves some kind of "there, there" approach, where the person is coddled and given multiple chances. But that forgets that there may be 8-10 other employees who are affected by that person's performance and customer expectations may well be frustrated or suppliers could be negatively impacted. When answering the question "What would love do?", you have to consider the impact of your decision on those others, as well.
Clearly the circumstances require some form of intervention. But the question demands that you not act simply out of anger or frustration. You must make the difficult decisions while remaining compassionate to all of those affected.
If you decide to keep the person, you must make sure they are in the right position, make your expectations clear, provide necessary training and support and maintain communication with your team. If you decide the person has to go, you need to treat them with compassion and dignity while acting swiftly and decisively. Remember, everyone deserves to be an A player somewhere. So, if they are not capable of being that person with you, they may find that opportunity elsewhere.
When you apply this question to even the small questions, you build the muscle to effectively handle the larger issues with a minimum of stress. On the other hand, if you wait to ask this question until you face the most difficult dilemma, you will not have built the muscle. You're more likely to engage in rationalizations that serve your narrow self-interest.
When you practice it regularly, it becomes reflexive. You find it hard to make a decision without considering the question. It becomes a Rosetta Stone to help you interpret your own motives and to determine what might be a right choice in the circumstances.
Try it. That's what Love would do.

9 Dr. Appointments or scans in 5 weeks….yay! I just love it when I see all those appointments on my calendar….ummm….not really.
But seriously, here's what's coming up (or just happened)…
10/1 – Orthopedic surgeon
I met with an orthopedic surgeon yesterday about the herniated disc in my back that keeps flaring up every 3 months, making it hard to get back into shape. Every 3 months for the past 18 months…yep….it's fun. We talked about the diagnosis and what I had done over the past 18 months for it and I am doing what I should. He said the herniation is pretty bad, but since I seem to be able to manage the flare ups with physical therapy, he does not recommend surgery or even a cortisone shot. He did recommend a prescription anti-inflammatory med that I can try when it does flare up and he encouraged me to keep doing what I'm doing. 🙁 It's not very encouraging to hear a Dr. tell you that sometimes life is not perfect. Yep. I already know that. 🙂
Tomorrow (Wed.) – Bone Density scan and mammogram
10/8 – CT scan – this is my yearly scan to see if the cancer has come back
10/9 – Chiropractor apt. to see about possible treatment for herniated disc
10/17 – Bone strengthening infusion
10/29 – Plastic Surgeon apt – my implant looks different to me…something has changed…just need to make sure everything is OK. I also have a dentist apt. that day.
11/7 – Check up with oncologist to go over CT scan (I hope he calls with the results before the apt. so I don't have to wait a month!)
I guess it's just this time of the year, but it seems like quite a bit, even though most of it is routine.
In other news, I ordered some Protalus insoles, as they claim they can possibly help with neuropathy AND back pain. Plus, if after 90 days you are not satisfied, they refund your money! For the past week and a half I have not had much pain in my feet. So when I started wearing the insoles about 5 days ago, my feet were not hurting. Today, I did notice that I felt my feet when walking. I wouldn't really say they were painful, but I did notice them not feeling quite right. When I got home I took my shoes off and walked barefoot for a minute and they started to hurt. I quickly put my slippers back on with the insoles in them and the pain went away. I'm not totally convinced the insoles are helping. It might just be that the neuropathy is not bothering me much right now. But for now, I'm wearing them all the time and I'll report back!

Sandwiches with a taste of Arabia
PUBLISHED: 18:22 25 September 2008 | UPDATED: 14:44 07 July 2010
A couple who have spent 17 years teaching in Dubai have opted for a change of career and climate and have moved to Norfolk to open a sandwich and coffee shop.
A sandwich and coffee shop with tastes of the Middle East and France is set to open in Dereham next month.
Ken and Louli Money have spent 17 years teaching in Dubai but have now opted for a change of career - and climate - with a new venture in Dereham.
They are set to open Bia, a made to order sandwich shop with what they say will be the biggest selection of coffees - from espresso to macchiato - in the old Commtech mobile phone shop in High Street.
It will be run as part of a franchise called Bia Blasta run by Essex based CD's catering firm, which has shops in Essex but wants to expand into Norfolk.
Its main principle, when it opens on October 13, will be making sandwiches however people want them and specialty coffee.
"Any sandwich you like, we will make," said Mrs Money, 61. She said all the meats will be home cooked by them.
And as she was brought up in the south of France, she hopes to introduce some of the tastes of her home country and other countries to Dereham, including pan bagna.
Another is a type of round bread filled with olive oil and salad nicoise. "Every week it will be something different," she said.
Ken's speciality will be coffee - everything from a straight Arabica coffee to macchiato or even different types of flavoured shots in the coffee, which will all be fair trade.
It is a long way from their last jobs. Both Louli and Ken, 58, have travelled a lot and spent the last 17 years in the Middle East - Dubai in fact.
They worked there as teachers, although they kept a house in Norwich, where they now live.
They picked Dereham to open a shop because: "We fell in love with it. It feels traditional with lots of interesting shops and it is very busy. We saw this shop empty and decided that was it."
They have two children, both who have left home and have jobs in London and Sheffield.

The question of how quickly the Federal Reserve should raise rates is dividing normally like-minded policymakers at the U.S. central bank, pitting those who favor two hikes this year against a growing number of those who want to stop at just one.
That shift, and the very real possibility that Fed Chair Janet Yellen may be one of the five who now prefer a single rate hike in 2015 rather than among an equal number who prefer two, is bolstering the view that the Fed may not deliver until late in the year.
The Fed has kept interest rates near zero since December 2008, and on Wednesday unanimously voted to keep them there. Behind that unanimity rages a debate over how long that state of affairs should last.
"While we cannot be certain, our best guess is that Fed Chair Yellen now anticipates only one increase this year – an important shift in the committee's center of gravity," Goldman Sachs economists Jan Hatzius and Zach Pandl wrote in a note advising clients they now expect the Fed to wait until December to raise rates, from September previously.
"If Yellen is in the one-hike camp, she is the decider, and the other governors will likely vote in deference to the chair," said Kevin Logan, chief U.S. economist at HSBC Securities, which also expects the Fed to hike rates only once this year, in December.

There's A Margaret Atwood Novel You Can Never Read
As the kickoff of the 100-year Future Library Project, which invites a different author to place a secret book in a time capsule each year until the vessel is opened in 2114, author Margaret Atwood time-capsuled her novel in a ceremony held Tuesday morning in Oslo, Norway. And, no, that means you'll never, ever be able to read it. I suppose it's only fitting that the lady best known for her speculative fiction be the first author to place her newest novel into a time capsule — but, regardless, I have an itch-you-can't-scratch feeling. I know you know what I'm talking about.
OK, there is some slight comfort to be had by those readers who truly can't bare to be left out of anything. Although you won't be able to get your hands on a copy of this tantalizingly unrevealed manuscript (seriously, NEVER) you can still watch footage of Atwood locking away the novel until the next century.
After kicking off the ceremony by presenting her book to project-founder Katie Paterson, and walking through the 1,000-tree forest that will be used to print copies of the capsuled books in the future, Atwood also gave a public reading. The ceremony concluded in Oslo's Deichmanske Library, with an in-conversation event hosted by Atwood and Paterson.
The bestselling author of beloved classics like The Handmaid's Tale and The Blind Assassin, shared some words with her fans on Wattpad, days before the momentous ceremony:
There's a secret book that no one will read for 100 years. It is a book from the future, so it hasn't been published yet. It is kept in a locked room, in a Norwegian library. There is a sacred grove that will provide the paper for its pages. And there are 100 authors who will write its secret stories. 100 years. 100 stories. 100 different writers.
There's no word yet on who next year's author will be, but the decision is currently up to the Future Library Trust, an organization of some of the world's top publishers and editors. So, one thing is for certain: whomever it is, you'll probably be mad about not being able to read his or her book, either.

In less than a week after Singapore confirmed its first case of COVID-19, the hardworking scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School cultured the virus. Soon after, they developed a serological test to detect the presence of coronavirus antibodies. Today, they are still working tirelessly to stem the spread of this global pandemic.
The researchers leading the teams behind these achievements are Professor Wang Linfa, Director of the Programme in Emerging Infectious Diseases at Duke-NUS, and Assistant Professor Danielle Anderson, the Scientific Director of the Duke-NUS ABSL3 Laboratory. Prof Wang and Asst Prof Anderson recently spoke about the breakthroughs and challenges they have faced in tackling COVID-19.
Q: With this pandemic, what has been the biggest success in combatting it?
Asst Prof Anderson: The first big breakthrough for us would be how as a team, we established a link between two COVID-19 clusters in Singapore via serological testing on two cases. In addition to this contact tracing, a major success has been how effectively Singapore has quarantined patients. It's an example to the rest of the world as a good benchmark for containing the spread.
Prof Wang: Exactly. Before we have a vaccine, the most critical thing is early detection and quarantine. In that regard, the world is looking at Singapore as a shining example.
Outside of Singapore, I would really give praise to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), an international non-profit organisation whose main mission is to quickly develop vaccines. It's too early to predict the success, but it's already racing through vaccine development with an unprecedented speed..
Q: How has COVID-19 affected your workload?
Asst Prof Anderson: We're working at the national level and it's not something that we're used to doing because we usually function as an independent lab. But as we have this facility available, we're fortunate to be able to help out at the national level and even international level.
Prof Wang: In addition to these levels in the scientific context, we're working with the media to educate the public. I've been working in this field for 25 years, and this outbreak response is very different from anything I've done before. With previous outbreaks, I mainly worked at the scientific level.
Q: Do you think this crisis has promoted collaboration between Singaporean researchers?
Asst Prof Anderson: Seeing how all the ministries and the different institutes have worked together during this crisis is truly impressive. We have a meeting once a week, and we openly share every piece of data that we have. It has definitely sparked collaboration — it's not a competition at all.
Prof Wang: Without any doubt, this has been a collaborative effort. Before we had the first confirmed cases, the government had already prepared an inter-ministerial taskforce at the highest level. We had a national research coordinating meeting just one day before we had the first confirmed cases.
Q: What's the most challenging part of tackling this pandemic?
Asst Prof Anderson: We are dealing with many hospitals and they're all on different schedules. Some hospitals see patients in the morning, others see them later in the day. At the start of this crisis, I would be at Singapore General Hospital at 7am to meet the clinicians. We then would test samples for COVID-19 until finishing at midnight. And I would do the same thing again the next day.
Prof Wang: Luckily, I'm a scientist, not a politician. Politicians have the real challenge of making decisions not only for disease control, but also for schools, tourism, and the economy.
Q: What's the next stage?
Asst Prof Anderson: Around the world, I think it will get worse before it gets better. But we're still in limbo to see what will happen next.
Prof Wang: In my research with Asst Prof Anderson, we are working towards making our serological test deployable internationally. We can share our experience, and also export the reagent to help other people, especially those in developing nations.

Question about Home
We have a Kohler Ingenium toilet and it won't stop running. The black part in the toilet that is suppose to come up and make the water stop running doesn't come up all the way(it sticks and the water runs past it). How do we fix it?
Posted by megroe23 on
I have a Kohler toilet and Ingenium fill valve
85297-AA. My toilet kept running, the fill valve black cylinder
wouldn't pop up and when I added blue food coloring to the tank, the
blue color seeped through to the toilet bowl. First I replaced the
flapper and that allowed the fill valve piece on the cylinder to pop up
correctly and blue dye no longer seeped through to the bowl. I still heard a hissing sound when the toilet tank had
filled and no water was going into the overflow tube. I called the tech
support number on the Kohler website 1-800-4KOHLER (1-800-456-4537) .
Here's what solved the problem: Turn off the water to the toilet.Take
off the white cap of the fill valve by pushing it down and turning it
counterclockwise as you would open up a childproof pill container. Then
unhook the metal hook. Hold a cup upside down (I used a strong plastic
cup) over the part of the fill valve that is left in the tank and turn
on the water. (You need the cup because otherwise the water will squirt
up to the ceiling.) The water will flush out the fill valve. Replace
the cap and the hook and flush.
Posted on Aug 07, 2009
One thing to note that might not be obvious: when you rotate off the white cap you also rotate the arm. You can also see the instruction sheet for this model valve:http://support.fluidmaster.com/realdialo...
Wow, this was exactly the problem. Also have a Kohler toiler (new); started hissing and running constantly. I followed this procedure and it fixed the problem. Thanks.
AWESOME!!! I am a stay at home mom and I LOVE the internet. My toilet was driving me crazy with this teensy hissing noise. My husband's ears could not even pick it up, but I knew we were wasting a lot of water. I found this post and fixed the problem. THANK YOU!
This worked for me too but I was afraid of breaking the fill valve. I unsnapped the plastic fill adjustment screw from its holder and the fill valve rotated easily. Otherwise, I could not get it to rotate at all.
Thank you! This worked like a charm! Good deed done!
worked for me too. some scale broke loose in y pipes and clogged the valve seat. Saw a big chunk come out when I cracked open the water supply with the top assembly removed. thanks for the instructions :)
Awesome! Thank you
Awesome fix! Thanks!
Worked like a charm...thanks!
Many thanks worked great!!
Thank You!!! Worked perfectly.
worked for me. how strange. thank you very much
There is a metal rod that adjusts how low in the water the black cylinder thing-y sits. Squeeze the top and bottom of the little clips and move the black cylinder farther down on the rod. This will make the black things rise with less water and then the water will stop flowing before it reaches the top of the overflow tube. Worked for me.
Posted on Jan 03, 2010
Open the back and look in, there is usually a plastic slide that goes up and down, cheap easy fix, say 7-8 dollars at your local homedepot. Also if your not interested in that, make sure the water is rising in the tank far enough, grab the end of the float in one hand, and the other end of the rod in the other (possibly take the rod and float out first, just incase), and then bend the thin metal rod downward so the float meets the water, that will make the float rise all the way stopping the water running.

Electric outdoor shades and auto powered awning windows in the clear story control the solar gain in the summer time.
Project 2
This Mediterranean /Northwest fusion house was designed by Debbie Todd as a retirement home for a local couple. The house had a few basic design requirements. Take advantage of the awesome Toledo hill views. Host a 3 car garage without losing curb appeal. Incorporate Spanish style accents into an Northwest home. We accomplished this by using real rock masonry, stucco arches and gables, and exposed timber rafter tails.
The 3 car garage is tucked neatly out of sight around the back of the house.
Project 3
sitting above Iconic Chuckanut drive this contemporary home is designed by Ryan Stephenson with the Stephenson Collective Architects, Seattle. The exterior is clad in Corten steel and interlocking cedar siding. The detached garage hosts a loft studio with stunning views for visiting guests.
Project 4
This home was built as a family gathering area in Priest Lake, Idaho. The Banked waterfront lot was a challenging building site. We carved the house into the steepest part of the lot so there would be ample parking above the house and a gentle trail to the beach on the water side. Providing natural wood finishes on the exterior of this home helps this Gem blend in with its natural surroundings.
Project 5
This Northwest hideaway custom home sits alone on a mountain top overlooking the Puget Sound and The San Juan Islands.
Carpenter Architects designed this Northwest home for the elements. The roof system is made of solid 9" foam. The house is heated with hydronic radiant heat. Foam wall and floor insulation gives this home energy performance ratings that far exceed national code compliances.
This home features an exotic colection of western black walnut. The home owner spent nearly a decade procuring this wood. We milled it for the front door, flooring, cabinets, and scalloped moulding for the curved wall.
Project 6
This is a traditional style home designed by Canadian Architect Nigel Intarsia. It is perched on South hill and takes advantage of stunning views of the working waterfront in Fairhaven and Bellingham Bay.
This house was designed for a university professor and his growing family. It comes complete with an attached mother in law suite and high end finishes throughout the house.
Project 7
McClellan Architects from Seattle designed this northwest contemporary style home.
The unique quality that separates this home from the herd is the exquisite interior design meticulously detailed by Lux Design, Bellingham Wa.
It was fun to be a part of creating the canvas for this artful interior.
Project 8
Perched on a city lot, this Indigo design/build stands up to take advantage of city and water views. In just under 2400 sqft this 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home has a welcoming open floor plan that captures a view from almost every room.

Microsoft Windows 10 - DSSVC DSOpenSharedFile Arbitrary File Open Privilege Escalation
Become a Certified Penetration Tester
Enroll in Penetration Testing with Kali Linux and pass the exam to become an Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP). All new content for 2020.
Windows: DSSVC DSOpenSharedFile Arbitrary File Open EoP
Platform: Windows 10 1803 and 1809.
Class: Elevation of Privilege
Security Boundary (per Windows Security Service Criteria): User boundary
NOTE: This is one of multiple issues I'm reporting in the same service. While I've tried to ensure all the bugs are effectively orthogonal from each other it's possible that fixes for one thing might affect others. I've also not reported every possible problem with the service as at some point I had to stop. I've not determined if any of these issues could be abusable from a sandbox, most of the issues almost certainly can't be due to the requirements for arbitrary file symlinks but it's not impossible.
The Data Sharing Service doesn't handle file hard links in DSOpenSharedFile resulting in a user being able to open arbitrary files for full access at system privileges.
The Data Sharing Service allows you to setup a shared file, referenced by a GUID token by calling DSCreateSharedFileToken. The GUID token can then be passed back to DSOpenSharedFile to get a handle to the file. When the token is created the user passes a flag to indicate whether the file should be opened as Read and/or Write. This flag is then used during the call to CreateFile inside the service while running as the SYSTEM user.
In order to defend against the user replacing the file with a symlink the service checks that the opened file and the original path match by calling GetFinalPathNameByHandle. While the file will be opened as SYSTEM the user won't get back a handle to the file to allow them to manipulate it.
This breaks down with hard links, it's possible for the user to setup a file to which they have full access and register the token. The file can then be deleted (as the service doesn't maintain any lock on the file) and replace it with a hard link to a file the user can only read. This is possible as while the CreateHardlink API requires FILE_WRITE_ATTRIBUTES access the underlying system call interface does not. Now when the file is opened through DSOpenSharedFile the hardlinked file will be open for write access, the handle is DSUtils::VerifyPathFromHandle which will find the path matches the expected one and then will duplicate the handle back to the caller. The caller can now modify this file to gain full privilege escalation.
Impersonating over the call to CreateFile would fix this issue, but that might make it impossible for the service to do its job of sharing the files if the use calling DSOpenSharedFile can't already open the file which was shared.
Proof of Concept:
I've provided a PoC as a C# project. It will use a hardlink to open an arbitrary file for write access (as long as it's accessible by the SYSTEM user).
1) Compile the C# project. It'll need to pull NtApiDotNet from NuGet to build.
2) Execute the PoC passing the path to a file the user can't write on the command line (but can be written by SYSTEM).
Expected Result:
Opening the file fails.
Observed Result:
The file is opened and a writable handle is returned to the user. The PoC will print out the granted access and the list of hard links to the file which should include the original filename.

Discussion Starter • #1 •
I am new to the board and have been lurking for some time. I am on the East Coast and I am looking to buy a 2010 Exige with approximately 1500 miles from a friend's friend of a friend. He has told me that the car has not been tracked. I have the ECU readout below. What can anyone tell me? The car seems to be in good shape visually without any issues. Average MPH would be around 45 mph if I am doing my calculations correct. Thanks in advance.

Gorge de la Jonte is a top quality climbing destination in France. In boasts more than than 300 superb routes, some of which reach150 metres in height. Surprisingly, Gorge de La Jonte is not well known by foreign climbers, although it is located not far from the very popular climbing area of Gorges du Tarn.
La Jonte has a long climbing history and many climbs were open before the era of bolting. Many routes remain trad climbs, meaning that only self-placed gear is allowed. Gorge de La Jonte is a great destination for climbers who love adventure and enjoy exposure. Old style French grading means that many of the classic lines are a little sandbagged. Many climbs can feel tough in comparison to the nearby Tarn or other European crags andt is important to be conservative when choosing your first multi-pitch climb in Gorge de La Jonte.
The venue offers quite a variety of single and multi-pitch routes, both bolted and traditional. The rock is solid limestone with pockets, slopers and huecos, and the terrain is mostly vertical or steep. Undoubtedly, the gorge has loads of great climbing in a magnificent setting, and is definitely worth visiting despite its tough grading.
The majority of climbs are south facing, so the best season for visiting La Jonte runs from autumn through to late spring. Luckily, some of the routes following dihedrals remain shady even on hot days. Longer routes also offer respite from the heat as higher up they tend to catch a cool breeze.
Remember that climbing with Rockbusters, you don't have to worry about transport or accommodation. We'll pick you up from the airport and everything will be organised to maximise your climbing. If you'd like to visit Gorge de la Jonte with us, please check the current trips calendar (SEE AVAILABILITY ABOVE).
