Comparison of samplers for the biological characterization of the sea surface microlayer

|The surface film of the hydrosphere covers more than 70% of the world's surface. The sea surface microlayer (SML) or "skin" of the ocean is a sink for natural and anthropogenic material originating from the atmosphere and the water column. Organisms living in this SML are called "neuston." Our knowledge of the biology of the SML is still in its infancy. Research of the sea surface microlayer requires the use of appropriate sampling techniques and strategies, and the question of what is the most suitable device has not yet been answered. In the present study, we have compared the efficiency of the Harvey glass plate (GP) and the Garrett metal screen (MS) to analyze a wide range of microbiological parameters in SML samples collected at two coastal stations in the NW Mediterranean Sea. Two types of membranes (Teflon and polycarbonate) were also used to collect bacterioneuston. The MS was the most appropriate technique for most biological parameters providing higher enrichment factors as compared to the GP and, therefore, the highest enrichment factors compared with underlying waters (UW). Control experiments with UW demonstrated that the enrichment reported for the MS was not biased by any selectivity of the sampler itself. Therefore, we recommend the use of the MS when the aim is to compare different biological parameters. In contrast, there is clear evidence that hydrophobic and hydrophilic membranes have an important drawback and should not be used for quantification purposes.

Abbas, Arafat Vie for Control of Palestinian Security Forces
A new power struggle has erupted between Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas and President Yasser Arafat -- this time over control of the huge and unwieldy Palestinian security apparatus, whose loyalties are divided between the two men.
The timing of this duel is particularly critical, coming as Abbas is struggling to prove to Israel that he is capable of taking substantive steps to prevent terror attacks like the grisly bus bombing in Jerusalem last week that killed 21 people and shattered two months of relative calm. The Islamic militant group Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack.
Late Sunday, pressing ahead with a campaign of retaliation against the group, Israeli forces killed four members of Hamas' military wing in a missile strike on the southern outskirts of Gaza City. Palestinian witnesses said an Israeli attack helicopter pursued the men after they jumped from their car and tried to flee into an open field.
Palestinian sources described the four men as field operatives, not senior leaders. But Israel said one of the slain men, Ahmed Ishtawi, was a top fugitive who had recently taken a prominent role in organizing attacks by the Hamas military wing, Izzidin al-Qassam.
The dispute between Abbas and Arafat reignites a long-running struggle between the two, which intensified after Israel and the Palestinians formally endorsed the U.S.-backed peace initiative known as the "road map" at a June 4 summit presided over by President Bush.
The Palestinians have nearly 60,000 men under arms, by most estimates, and about two-thirds of them are believed to answer to Arafat and his allies, rather than the beleaguered team of Abbas and his security chief, Mohammed Dahlan, which the Bush administration supports.
Since his appointment to the premiership in April, Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, has been hobbled by a lack of control over the security forces, which are divided into multiple branches of police, paramilitary forces, intelligence and preventive security.
Many analysts believe that lack of muscle was a factor in Abbas' decision to try to negotiate with militant groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad rather than going after their leaders and arms caches. Abbas has said he believes an all-out confrontation with the militant groups would be tantamount to civil war.
"Abu Mazen lacks the basic, preliminary tool, which is a united force," said Shalom Harari, a former official in Israel's Shin Bet domestic intelligence service. "In practice, Abu Mazen is in control of only about 20,000 men -- Arafat is in control of all the rest."
The latest maneuvering by Arafat's camp began Saturday night, when the policymaking Central Committee of Arafat's Fatah faction called for the naming of Nasser Yousef, an Arafat loyalist, as interior minister, a job Abbas has left unfilled.
That was widely interpreted as an effort to sideline Dahlan, who would have been forced to report to Yousef -- a comrade-in-arms of Arafat during the Palestine Liberation Organization's years of exile in Lebanon and Tunisia in the 1980s and early 1990s.
By Sunday, the appointment appeared in doubt. However, Palestinian officials speaking on condition of anonymity suggested that the reversal did not signal a victory for Abbas and Dahlan but rather came about because Arafat had qualms about handing over so much power to Yousef.
Publicly, Palestinians sought to play down the internal feud, even though Israeli media reports said the dispute had grown so heated that Abbas and Dahlan had threatened to quit. The Palestinian minister of information, Nabil Amr, told Israel's Army Radio, "We simply want to unify our security forces under one umbrella."
Abbas' government had balked last week at imposing a crackdown on the militant groups after Israel assassinated a top Hamas leader, Ismail abu Shanab, in retaliation for Tuesday's bombing.
But in a change of course, Dahlan's forces moved Saturday night and Sunday to block the entrances of four tunnels running under the Egyptian border, which had been used to smuggle weaponry into the Gaza Strip, and arrested several smugglers.
Israel, though, derided the step as an insignificant and probably temporary measure.
"The Palestinian operations look more like they're directed for public relations rather than toward permanently closing the tunnels," said Israeli government spokesman Dore Gold. "Israel would have hoped that the Palestinians would have blown up the tunnels, rather than shovel sand into the entrances in front of the cameras."
For months now, Arafat has been viewed by both Israel and the United States as an obstacle to a crackdown on the militant groups. But there were signs he might be seeking to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of the Bush administration and the government of Ariel Sharon.
On Sunday evening, Arafat's security chief in Gaza, Maj. Gen. Abdel Razek Majaydeh, ordered his forces to take steps to halt rocket and mortar attacks against Israeli targets, Palestinian security sources said.
That move came hours after Palestinian militants succeeded in firing a new, longer-range rocket into Israel -- rattling the country, even though the projectile caused no injuries or damage. It landed about four miles south of the Israeli city of Ashkelon, 15 miles north of the Gaza Strip, which has been well out of range of the Palestinians' homemade Kassam rockets.
Elsewhere, Israeli troops operated inside the northern West Bank city of Nablus for the fourth straight day, searching for wanted Palestinian militants and stores of weapons. The army said troops had discovered and destroyed an explosives laboratory in the heart of the city.

Coventry Bees have made a rallying call to the fans ahead of tonight?s televised play-off showdown with Eastbourne at Brandon.
Anything better than a three-point defeat will give Bees the point they need to secure second place in the table and a home tie with Peterborough in Monday?s title semi-finals.
A three-point defeat would mean a run-off for the bonus point, while anything worse would see Bees away at Peterborough in the play-off semi-final.
Co-boss Peter Oakes said: ?It has taken a monumental effort to be in the position where we can clinch a home tie in the play-offs, and we need the support of the fans like never before.
?It is our most important meeting of the season so far but we want to make sure it doesn?t remain that way by booking that home tie against the Panthers.
Bees go into the meeting buoyed by a 46-43 win at Eastbourne on Saturday night, and Sports tory this evening would secure a clean sweep of 10 points out of 10 against the Sussex side in 2005.
Eastbourne have called up ex-Bees favourite Billy Hamill as a guest for the injured Nicki Pedersen, but Oakes added: ?We had a talk after Sunday?s defeat at Swindon, and we know what we have to do. We only one point short and it is ours to throw away.?

The Bandon State Natural Area wasn't for sale when Mike Keiser came knocking.
But approached with an increasingly appealing offer from the Chicago-based developer, and pressure from Oregon's former governor John Kitzhaber, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department has agreed to privatize 280 acres of the state's public coast so Keiser can turn it into a golf course.
Such a move is unprecedented in Oregon, where coastal land is so beloved the
state Legislature voted in 1967 to keep the shoreline public, and then bought additional acreage all along its 363 miles. The result is a network of more than 80 properties so popular they include seven of Oregon's 10 most-visited parks.
The deal would also be unprecedented in neighboring states. A survey by The Oregonian/OregonLive found California, Washington, Montana and Idaho all would have refused Keiser's request, or at least made it harder for him to gain approval.
Initially, Oregon's parks commissioners were unenthusiastic.
But over more than five years of negotiations, Keiser continually sweetened his offer and worked connections to get the governor and his staff involved - an unusual presence in Oregon State Parks land deals.
More on the deal
Keiser calls the deal a win for all involved: The state sheds the natural area land in exchange for more accessible property, Coos County gets jobs and he gets a golf course.
The deal highlights the conflict between preservation and development on Oregon's south coast, where unemployment rates of 7.6 percent in Coos County and 9.1 percent in Curry County are in the state's bottom third. Kitzhaber and his staff pushed the sale as part of his economic development initiative, arguing another golf course in Coos County would create badly needed jobs.
Multiple Bandon and Coos County officials added their support.
"This has been a long time coming, and I think it would be a wonderful thing for the local area," Bandon Mayor Mary Schamehorn said in an inteview.
In terms of monetary value, the deal also favors the state.
In exchange for the duneland at the southeastern third of Bandon State Natural Area, Keiser agreed to give Oregon State Parks two smaller coastal properties, plus split the cost of a third property and put up additional cash to control an invasive weed that's taking over the south coast. Another $2.5 million will go into an account to buy property in the future.
"We were able to get land with high environmental protection benefits, and I think we'll end up with property that's more accessible to people," said parks Commissioner Cal Mukumoto, who voted for the deal.
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission's 4-2 vote of approval has triggered public debate. Critics argue it fails to meet the department's standards for property transactions and question whether Kitzhaber's involvement spurred parks officials to pursue a deal with Keiser despite obstacles that could easily have derailed negotiations.
"A clear signal was given from the governor to the state parks department that this exchange needed to happen," said Cameron La Follette, executive director of the Oregon Coast Alliance. "Political influence is showing its face."
Emails obtained under public records law show heavy involvement by Kitzhaber and his staff in the negotiations. Kitzhaber and a top aide involved in the talks didn't respond to requests for comment.
Some opponents bristle at the decision to deal exclusively with Keiser's company, Bandon Biota LLC, rather than offering the land up for public bidding. Environmentalists say turning the land into a golf course will imperil sensitive plants and animals the parks department has taken pains to protect. And many worry the deal could set a dangerous precedent.
"It sends a message that if I have a lot of money, all I have to do is put it on the table and state parks is so desperate that they're going to trade away parks to get what it is I'm offering," said Bandon resident Diane Bilderback, who regularly walks the beach along the natural area.
The deal
If the sale goes through, Oregon State Parks will gain 219 acres of coastal land in exchange for the land Keiser wants, plus $2.5 million to buy more land in the future.
The properties moving into the parks system include a former Coos County park just south of Bandon State Natural Area, an eroding spit at the mouth of the Coquille River and an 11-acre cove in Lincoln County.
Keiser also has agreed to pay the parks department $300,000 to combat an invasive plant known as gorse - money that has already begun rolling in at a rate of $60,000 per year.
The spiny, fast-growing plant has choked out huge swaths of Oregon's coast, including much of Bandon State Natural Area. Gorse takes over sensitive ecosystems, making it hard for native species to thrive. When conditions are dry, gorse becomes highly flammable. Twice, gorse fires have burned Bandon to the ground, first in 1914 and again in 1936.
Keiser plans to remove the gorse, along with trees, dunegrass and other plants, from the property he's gaining. He'll plant fescue grass and sculpt the landscape with construction equipment, turning the rolling dunes into a golf course to join the seven already in play at Bandon Dunes, his luxury resort 14 miles up the road.
The dollar value of the incoming lands combined with the cash triples that of the outgoing parcel, which was valued at $1 million in 2014. But one of the three parcels coming into state ownership is eroding into the Coquille River. Another, the former Coos County park directly south of Bandon State Natural Area, is also infested with gorse.
Opponents argue the land Keiser is giving to the state fails to meet the department's land exchange policy, which stipulates that any land exchange must provide "an overwhelming public benefit to the park system, its visitors, and the citizens of Oregon."
They also question the state's decision to allow a golf course near an area the state has taken pains to protect from human impacts. The beach abutting Bandon State Natural Area is one of 16 snowy plover management areas in the state. After years of wrangling with the federal government over how to protect the threatened seabird, Oregon agreed to ban beachgoers from these areas during nesting season.
State wildlife biologists say without special precautions, a golf course at Bandon State Natural Area would imperil the plover by increasing beach traffic. The golf course is also expected to attract scavenger species that prey on plover eggs and young.
"Increasing human activity near a long, undisturbed beach where snowy plovers are known to nest is just bad policy," said La Follette, the Oregon Coast Alliance director.
Parks department spokesman Chris Havel said the agency has asked Bandon Biota to address those concerns by promising golf course visitors won't be able to see the beach while walking on the property's trails. They also want a fence to block trail users from accessing the beach.
Havel said the natural area's gorse problem makes it increasingly poor habitat, and the properties the state is getting out of the deal are also ecologically important. The county park property will expand the state's beachfront plover habitat, while Coho salmon and steelhead swim along the Coquille Spit land. The Lincoln County cove is part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge.
"We're getting property that's more useful, and that have better habitat," he said.
Keiser's vision
Keiser already owns five world-class courses plus a putting green and a practice course just north of Bandon, an agriculture, timber and fishing community with about 3,000 residents. His Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is one of the south coast's largest employers, with 550 people on the payroll.
The resort is pricey. An 18-hole tee time runs as much as $310 in the summer - out of reach for the blue-collar golfer.
That, Keiser says, is why he wants a piece of Bandon State Natural Area.
His plan for the land is Bandon Muni - a 27-hole course with coastal views, expertly designed greenways, affordable prices for the locals. Coos and Curry County residents would pay about $20 for a round at Bandon Muni, while out-of-staters would pay resort rates.
There will be no lodging at Bandon Muni.
"I've always felt a sadness that they approved this, allowed me to build it, but they never play it," he said.
Keiser says he'll employ as many as 200 local high-school students in a caddy training program, and dozens of them each year will win college scholarships paid for by Bandon Muni or the Western Golf Association's Evans Scholars Foundation.
Keiser's company, Bandon Biota, has to create a nonprofit to buy the land. Revenue from the new course will go to caddy scholarships and gorse control. Keiser expects to generate as much as $1 million each year to put toward those efforts.
But Keiser wants the new course to fit in with his broader vision for enhancing all of Bandon as an international golfing destination.
He already owns more than 200 acres adjacent to the state park, some of it on the duneland appropriate for the Scottish links-style golf he favors. It's enough land to support a course, but Keiser wants the parkland for its sea views.
He credits the stunning landscape at Bandon Dunes for the resort's success.
"The ocean is the thing that attracts," he said.
Kitzhaber gets involved
Keiser became interested in the parkland in 2006.
He bought surrounding cranberry bogs in hopes of using the water rights to irrigate the course, and acquired coastal properties as fodder for a trade with the parks department.
In September 2010, his staff came before the commission with a proposal: An even trade, by which Keiser gives the state 208 acres, and gets an equal piece of the natural area in return.
That wasn't enough to meet the standard laid out in the parks system's land exchange policy.
Commissioner Brad Chalfant had just led a charge to craft new language making it harder for developers to access state park land. Minutes before Keiser's team made their initial pitch, the parks board voted to initiate rulemaking on the new policy.
"I wanted myself and my fellow commissioners to agonize over these decisions," Chalfant said. "I don't want it to be easy."
For the purposes of the Bandon State Natural Area deal, commissioners signaled "overwhelming benefit" would need to come in the form of land, not money.
Public records show Keiser searched for ways to sweeten the deal. He also began lobbying the governor.
In an October 2011 letter to then-state parks director Tim Wood, Keiser informed Wood that he had recently met with Kitzhaber before listing the details of an agreement with parks.
"I intend this letter to serve as a memorandum of understanding," he wrote.
Item No. 1 on the conditions listed in the memo: Parks would begin working immediately on a land exchange agreement.
Kitzhaber and his advisers in repeated emails and meetings with state parks upper brass and Keiser's negotiators, re-emphasized their desire to see the deal go through. Brett Brownscombe, a former conservation director with The Freshwater Trust who had advocated for the deal before joining the governor's natural resources team in 2011, served as the main messenger.
"I'm hoping that the Commission and Department are sincere in trying to work something out here, instead of floating a balloon that is unlikely to be reached but satisfies the issue of floating something," Brownscombe wrote in September 2011 email to Wood.
Keiser met twice more with the governor, including a May 2013 meeting attended by top parks officials. Keiser said Kitzhaber appeared briefly, telling those assembled "I just want you to know that I want this to happen."
During the final meeting, Kitzhaber and his fiance, Cylvia Hayes, toured Bandon Dunes and flew over the natural area in a helicopter Keiser hired.
Keiser also donated $25,000 to Kitzhaber's 2014 campaign - a political reversal from 2010 when he threw money behind Republican Chris Dudley. The donation had nothing to do with Kitzhaber's role in the Bandon State Natural Area sale, Keiser said.
The commissioners knew Kitzhaber was a fan of Keiser's plan, but all said pressure from the governor didn't influence their vote. Likewise, Wood said the governor's support didn't influence parks staff who advised the commission.
"There was continuing pressure that Mr. Keiser used the governor's office to put on the department to keep the process moving, but that's not to say the process wouldn't have kept moving if Keiser hadn't put that pressure on," he said.
Selling state land
Although the parks department sometimes offloads unwanted property - say, allowing neighboring landowners to buy parcels that wouldn't make a good park - the agency has never considered shedding established parkland at a buyer's behest.
In neighboring states, such a deal would be more difficult. Washington's parks commission must vote unanimously to declare a park as surplus before a sale or exchange could be considered.
California, after declaring a surplus, would need to offer the property to state and then local agencies. If none wanted the land, the property would be open for public bidding.
Idaho and Montana also require public bidding before they can sell significant parkland to a private party.
"We're in the business of preserving and protecting," said Kelley DiPinto, the California parks department's acquisitions chief. "We really don't sell land for development because somebody's approached us."
Over the course of years of negotiating, Oregon officials identified multiple properties they believed would meet the parks board's approval.
"We needed to have some kind of iconic property that was part of this trade," Commission Chairman Jay Graves said.
None worked out.
In the end, the commission settled for cash. Keiser would meet the "outstanding benefit" standard by providing $2.5 million for the parks department to buy land at some date in the future.
Graves and Mukumoto both said the incoming cash made them feel free to use Oregon Lottery dollars to buy the Beltz Farm, a Tillamook County property that had been on the parks department's wish list for years. Keiser had tried to buy the property for parks, but the owner wouldn't work with him.
Chalfant and Commissioner Robin Risley cast the dissenting votes.
"I just felt it wasn't a total win-win thing there," Risley said. "Overwhelming means there's no question, and there were a lot of people concerned about this trade."
Wood, who retired as parks director before the board voted, said he felt comfortable with the deal when it included land. He's not sure whether he would have encouraged the commissioners to accept money instead.
It remains to be seen whether the agreement will stick.
The state must first get the federal government's permission to sell the land - a request certain to trigger a deep review of the potential environmental impacts of building a golf course there.
The Bureau of Land Management gave most of the Bandon State Natural Area to the state in 1968 as part of the push to build Oregon's coastal state parks system.
At the time, the federal agency's leaders wanted to make sure the land would stay in the public's hands. A clause in the deed warns that if Oregon ever tries to use the land as anything other than a public park, the bureau must take it back.
To get around the rule, the parks department will request a "change of use" from the bureau that would designate the area as outdoor recreation land, rather than parkland. Megan Harper, a bureau spokeswoman in Oregon, said the agency is awaiting the state's application.

The American Board of Certification (ABC) is a non-profit organization created to help attorneys improve the quality of the bankruptcy and creditors' rights bars. Dian Gilmore is the executive director of the American Board of Certification, based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Sponsored by the American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) and the Commercial Law League of America, the ABC has certified nearly 1,000 attorneys.
By setting the highest standards for attorneys in these specialty areas of the law, the ABC demands that attorneys strive for excellence. At the same time, the ABC provides the public with an objective standard to find a qualified attorney.
Additionally, Congress has given authority over "the amount of reasonable compensation to be awarded to ... [a] professional person" to the bankruptcy courts. The bankruptcy "court shall consider the nature, the extent, and the value of such services, taking into account all relevant factors, including ... with respect to a professional person, whether the person is board certified or otherwise has demonstrated skill and experience in the bankruptcy field." 11 U.S.C. §330(a)(3).
Contact InformationAmerican Board of Certification
The 2018 exam schedule for the American Board of Certification (ABC) occurs in partnership with the upcoming conferences of the American Bankruptcy Institute (API). The API is the largest association of bankruptcy professionals in the United States, made up of more than 12,000 members in multi-disciplinary roles, including attorneys, bankers, accountants, professors, judges, auctioneers, turnaround specialists, and others.
For attorneys who are unable to travel for the examination, the ABC provides an opportunity to take the exam in the attorney's office for an additional $75 fee that pays for a proctor to come to your office to administer the test. The ABC Prep Course Task provides a new prep course available to potential applications for $295 at www.abi.org/abcprep/.
The American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) is an organization with the largest community of insolvency professionals in the bankruptcy industry. Many of the members are not lawyers. The American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) does not certify its lawyer members as bankruptcy law experts or offer any credential of expertise beyond the fact of membership.
Instead, credentialing is done by The American Board of Certification, an independent sister organization created 25 years ago by leading members of the ABI. The American Board of Certification has three ABA-accredited programs including:
Consumer bankruptcies typically include Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcies but could include any bankruptcy proceeding in which the attorney represents an individual debtor, rather than a business or an entity.
To become certified by ABC, the lawyer must have substantially participated in at least 30 contested matters of consumer bankruptcy, no more than five of which may be of the same type.
A board-certified consumer bankruptcy attorney must also show substantial involvement in the field of bankruptcy, including that he or she devoted at least 30 percent of his or her practice time in the previous three years to bankruptcy, and that that time consisted of at least 400 hours. The attorney must be in good standing in all states in which he or she is licensed to practice.
Businesses bankruptcies are most often Chapter 11, but may include any matter in which the debtor was engaged in business prior to filing. The American Board of Certification requires that applicants for certification as a Business Bankruptcy Specialist must have "substantially participated" in at least 30 adversarial proceedings or contested matters in Chapter 7, Chapter 9, Chapter 11, Chapter 12, or Chapter 13 cases. The ABC requires that no more than three of the proceedings or contested matters should be of a single type.
The term "substantial participation" is defined to include not just court appearances, but may also include "briefing, argument, interrogation of witnesses, negotiation of settlements or workouts, or drafting.
The activity must relate to an adversary proceeding or contested matter and must have been substantial in relation to the total efforts devoted to the adversary proceeding or contested matter."
Additionally, a board-certified business bankruptcy lawyer must be an active member of the State Bar of at least one state and a member in good standing of the State Bar in all states in which the applicant is licensed to practice (or was a member in good standing at the time any license may have been voluntarily surrendered).
The American Board of Certification requires that applicants to become a certified Creditors' Rights Specialists Attorney must have devoted at least 30% of their practice time to creditors' rights law during the prior three years. The applicant must also show he or she devoted at least 400 hours during that time to the practice of creditors' rights law.
The attorney must show completion of 60 hours of CLE in creditors' rights during the prior three years. Additionally, the attorney must list the names of nine attorneys who can attest to the attorney's competence in creditors' rights law.
Finally, the attorney must have substantially participated in at least thirty creditors' rights matters, with no more than three of those matters being in a single category. Matters related to creditors' rights include:
The requirements of "substantial involvement" are waived for any person who has served as a full-time active judge for three of the last five years.
Additionally, certain requirements may be waived for any person who as served as a full-time professor of law at an ABA-accredited law school and who has taught at least one creditors' rights law course or bankruptcy law course during each of the last five years.
At Lawyer Legion, we understand the important role that specialty certification programs play in helping the public find a bankruptcy attorney for a case involving consumer bankruptcy, business bankruptcy, or creditors' rights. The ABC has emerged as the premier certification organization for bankruptcy lawyers throughout the United States.
Specialty certification programs, at both the state and national level, help the public find board certified attorneys. For more than 30 years, specialty certification has provided the public with a good way to find an attorney based on their main practice area including bankruptcy law.

A media outlet, Intercept, has just shared some eye-opening information. According to Intercept, the U.S. National Security Agency has been carefully analyzing the Bitcoin blockchain with a focus on identifying people on the distributed network.
Intercept says it has been given classified documents from the United States whistleblower, Edward Snowden, which shows Bitcoin surveillance is something the agency is hugely focused on right now.
These documents share that the NSA's plans may go further than simply tracking the Bitcoin public ledger. The agency is apparently regularly analyzing global internet traffic and scraping software to try to break though the pseudonymity of digital currency users around the world.
For example, the report says that one memo from the NSA shares that lots of private data has been being gathered about users, such as Bitcoin user passwords, activity on the internet and types of devices being used.
The NSA has been studying the internet activities of Bitcoin users for years through a program referred to as OAKSTAR, according to this recent report. However, the leak suggests that with MONKEYROCKET, another sub-program under OAKSTAR, the NSA might actually be getting closer to discovering exactly who initiates a cryptocurrency transaction.
"SSG11 analysts have found value in the MONKEYROCKET access to help track down senders and receivers of Bitcoin," one memo reads.
These documents also share that the NSA may be utilizing the XKeyScore system, which is a powerful global internet monitoring system that was first exposed by Snowden, back in 2013.
The U.S. government has voiced concerns about digital currencies for a while, specifically with how it can be used to finance terrorism, along with money laundering. So it comes as no surprise that it would be doing everything in its power to get a grasp of exactly how the currency is being spent and who is making the transactions.

Title: Empirical Evaluation of PRNU Fingerprint Variation for Mismatched Imaging Pipelines
(Submitted on 4 Apr 2020)
Abstract: We assess the variability of PRNU-based camera fingerprints with mismatched imaging pipelines (e.g., different camera ISP or digital darkroom software). We show that camera fingerprints exhibit non-negligible variations in this setup, which may lead to unexpected degradation of detection statistics in real-world use-cases. We tested 13 different pipelines, including standard digital darkroom software and recent neural-networks. We observed that correlation between fingerprints from mismatched pipelines drops on average to 0.38 and the PCE detection statistic drops by over 40%. The degradation in error rates is the strongest for small patches commonly used in photo manipulation detection, and when neural networks are used for photo development.

Administration of Estates
Administration of deceased estatesThe administration of deceased estates involves the interpretation of wills and other legal issues arising from a person's death, such as valuation of assets, liabilities and estate duty, payments of liabilities and the distribution of the nett assets to the beneficiaries of a will. Certain aspects in the administration of a deceased estate include the preparation and lodgement of documents required by the Master of the High Court in order to appoint the executor / master's representative, preparing the Liquidation and Distribution accounts, preparing Redistribution Agreements, the administration of the estate's bank account, and distributing the inheritance to the beneficiaries in terms of the provisions of the will. If the deceased died without a valid will, then the distribution of the estate of the deceased is done in terms of the provisions of the Intestate Succession Act No. 81 of 1987.
Our services include the following:
- Drafting of wills
- Estate planning
- Inter Vivos Trust formation & administration
- Application for appointment of curator bonis
- Winding-up of deceased estates
Capital Gains Tax (CGT)A valid will is an essential requirement for any form of estate planning and to ensure that your beneficiaries in fact benefit from your estate. Estate planning in turn is essential to optimise the benefits which your beneficiaries are to receive from a deceased estate. Inadequate or neglected estate planning can lead to unnecessary hardship or avoidable taxes being paid by your estate to the detriment of your beneficiaries.
The following issues should be considered with the drafting of your will:
- Will there be sufficient liquidity in your estate to pay your liabilities, and at the same time leave sufficient funds to secure financial security of your family?
- Is it possible to minimise the possible impact of estate duty?
- Do you have sufficient insurance to cover your mortgage bond?
- Are there any Capital Gains Tax implications?
