Rafael Nadal edged past Grigor Dimitrov in a marathon semifinal on Friday. Nadal had to dig deep to set up an unlikely repeat of the 2009 final with Roger Federer, warming the hearts of tennis romantics everywhere.That Melbourne final eight years ago is Nadal's only Australian Open win to date. Federer took the title the next year before Novak Djokovic started a run of dominance that saw him win six of the next seven Australian Open titles.
With both Federer and Nadal the wrong side of thirty, both ranked low in the draw and having failed to win a grand slam between them since 2013, it was widely assumed that tennis fans had seen the last of the pair in a major final.
But Nadal's typically gutsy 6-3, 5-7, 7-6, 6-7, 6-4 win, which took just shy of five grueling hours, means the pair that dominated the sport for so long will have a chance to add to their 31 combined singles grand slam titles (Nadal has 14, Federer 17) on Sunday. "It's special to play Roger again in the final of a grand slam, I cannot lie," Nadal said after the match.
Bulgarian right-hander Dimitrov had beaten Nadal for the first time in eight attempts last year and started in confident fashion, taking the first two points from the Spaniard's serve before Nadal held on. But it was the 2009 champion who drew first blood, breaking Dimitrov in the fourth game when his whipped forehand was too hot for his opponent to handle.
A hold to love increased Nadal's grip on the set, with the wrist injury that has troubled him for so many years seemingly forgotten. The 14-time grand slam winner's familiar muscular groundstrokes continued to heap pressure on his younger opponent, playing in only his second slam semi. But it was his deft touch at the net that sealed the deal, a rare foray forward saw the 30-year-old slice an angled winner to take the first set 6-3.
But Dimitrov roared back at the start of the second set with his forehand suddenly causing his Spanish opponent some serious problems. That shot soon won Dimitrov three break points in game four, and he took the first of those chances, before holding his serve to stretch his lead to 4-1.
After Nadal briefly looked to have wrestled the initiative back mid-set, the world number 15 rediscovered his range, taking his chance on his fifth set point to break the Spaniard's serve, win 7-5 and tie things up at 1-1.
After a second set that lasted just over an hour, the intensity cranked up another notch in the third. Both players showed fierce determination as they exchanged games and breaks of serve. After a brief stoppage in which a fan had to receive medical attention, the set entered a tie break that had looked inevitable for some time. Nadal re-took the lead in characteristic style, grinding down his opponent just by staying in the rally until a tired shot from Dimitrov found the net.
There was a danger that the tie break loss could have taken its toll on Dimitrov's game but the 25-year-old continued to take the fight to Nadal in the fourth. While Dimitrov pulled out some magnificent shots, unforced errors had begun to creep in to the Bulgarian's game with a worrying regularity.
One of those winners, a booming forehand that clipped the line, forced the fourth set in to another tie break – and pushed the set clock over the hour mark for the third set in a row. This time Dimitrov took the decider. After failing with his first set point, the Bulgarian hammered a big serve down the line to level things up at 2-2.
The fifth set saw more punishing exchanges between two men drawing on their last reserves of energy. As the clock ticked past midnight and the match approached its fifth hour, Nadal drew on all his experience to prise a break in the ninth game and a chance to serve for the match.
As he had for the 5 previous hours, Dimitrov made his opponent work. But after he spurned two match points, Nadal watched as Dimitrov hit a regulation groundstroke out.
The Spaniard sunk to his knees and then lay prone on his front. He'll have to pick himself up again for an unexpected final meeting with his oldest foe.
"It was a moment that both of us thought we would never be in again, to be in the final in Australia, we feel very happy," Nadal said in the on-court interview post-match.
If the quality is anywhere near as high as the tennis on show today, then the fans will be just as happy too.

In a recent Email, a member of The Community discovered yellow showing through the bond coat on several cabinets and drawers while using Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations. Thru Email inquiry Brett was in search of a recommendation about how to proceed.
My reply is below:
Hello Brett!
Sorry to learn of the yellow show-through on your bond coat of Rust-Oleum Cabinet Transformations!
There are three different directions you might choose:
1) One fix for show-through would include first buff sanding each piece that shows yellow with 220-grit sandpaper. Evenly sand the entire surface until you remove the yellow, wipe off the sanding dust with a dry terry towel, and then lightly rinse the entire surface with a mild solution of TSP mixed with warm water. While rinsing, pay particular attention to the previously yellow spots to ensure that you have removed them. If not, back up and re-sand the piece again.
Allow the surface to air dry and then apply another layer of Rust-Oleum's bond coat.
Pick up the remainder of your "Transformations" process as instructed by Rust-Oleum's DVD in the kit.
2) If you intend to use the faux glaze from the kit, you may be able to blend and/or cover the yellow using the glaze. Glaze adds color and depending upon how much you wipe off, you may get a satisfactory result once the glaze does its job. Caution: If you choose this approach, try one piece before you proceed to the full project ... the worst example of yellowing would be my choice. If not satisfied with the results, go back to number 1 above.
3) If you choose to simply paint the cabinets, I would recommend the same steps in an earlier post about using oil-based paints to refinish your cabinets. Lightly sand each piece to break the gloss and reduce the yellow areas, wipe off the sanding dust with a dry terry towel, and use a natural bristle brush to smooth on a coat of oil-based gloss (Glidden) or semi-gloss (Behr) in the color of your choice. Be certain to smooth on your paint (rather than actively brush back and forth) and then leave it alone to dry for six-hours. During that time the product will self-level, eliminating the brush strokes and leaving a fresh, durable surface.
I hope this helps! Follow-up and let us know how your cabinets turn out!

Blavatnik Foundation Awards $10 Million for Engineering in Health
The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University has announced a $10 million gift from the Blavatnik Family Foundation in support of research at the intersection of engineering and health.
Announced on Monday, the gift will support efforts designed to attract graduate student talent, promote early-stage research across disciplines, and accelerate the translation of research from the lab to the marketplace, including two major initiatives. The first, the Blavatnik Doctoral Fellows, will support doctoral students early in their careers working at the intersection of engineering and health; over the next ten years, up to fifty young researchers are expected to benefit from the program. The second, Blavatnik Acceleration Funds, will provide annual seed funding for interdisciplinary and translational research projects at the critical early stage as well as late-stage research ready for commercialization through licensing or startup ventures.
"My goal is to support research that is interdisciplinary and non-traditional, because that is where the truly revolutionary breakthroughs will come from," said Blavatnik, who earned a master's degree in computer science from Columbia Engineering in 1991 and went on to found Access Industries. "I am drawn to and intrigued by the work of smart young scientists and engineers as a way to leverage their enormous brain-power to improve health and life."
"We are deeply grateful for this transformative gift that will fund pioneering research for the next ten years," said Mary C. Boyce, dean of the engineering school. "With his generous gift, Len Blavatnik is furthering our vision of 'Engineering for a Healthy Humanity' by supporting a research pipeline in health and medical research, from doctoral students just beginning their inquiries, to faculty at the crossroads of engineering and medicine, to funding the translation of their research from the laboratory to industry."

The autonomic nervous system makes changes in blood pressure and the heart rate to allow the body to provide adequate blood supply to the brain when the body changes position.Screening of orthostatic hypotension (OH) was performed in 285 patients aged 75 years. Current drugs, reasons for admission, geriatric syndromes, and confounding medical conditions were collected. Patients with OH (n = 116, 40%) as compared to those without OH (n = 169) more frequently (P < 0•01) presented falls in the last 6 months (62 vs. 42%, P < 0•001), a fall as the reason for the current admission (49 vs. 23%, P < 0•001), feeling of fainting (20 vs. 4%, P = 0•002), syncope (29 vs. 5%, P < 0•001) or functional decline (71 vs. 47%, P = 0•012). No difference was observed between the two groups in terms of age (85 ± 5 vs. 84 ± 4 years), gender (59 vs. 54% female), common geriatric conditions (e.g. malnutrition 46 vs. 57%, dementia 22 vs. 24%), comorbidity or confounding conditions (dehydration 28 vs. 31%, sepsis 2 vs. 7%). Indications of orthostatic hypotension incorporate dizziness, shortcoming, obscured vision, and syncope or going out.
Diagnosis is often made by history and physical examination. Injury from falling is the main complication of this entity. Various biomedical devices can be used in the recovery of the disease.

This video shows Dr. Byron Calhoun, a board certified obgyn, examining the bodies of two babies aborted by a medically induced labor with prostaglandin in the second trimester.
If the babies are bruised all over their bodies by contractions, try to imagine how painful those contractions must be for the mother. Normal labor is extremely painful and the contractions are far less severe. This is an excruciatingly painful method of abortion for both the mother and baby which can take hours to accomplish.
You can see the grimace of pain on the face of the second, 18-20 week old baby.
There is one other way abortions are done in the second trimester, the D&E.Share on Facebook

Thanks to technological advances, today there are more than 40 types of traditional or standard implants. A traditional dental implant actually replaces the root of a tooth, upon which a crown is built — the part you see in the mouth. There are 2 others types that are quite similar to standard implants. Mini implants are most like traditional implants except they are smaller in diameter. Micro-mini implants are an even smaller variation with an even narrower, more screw-like appearance. Micro-mini implants are also designed to be used on a temporary basis, thus can easily be removed. Together all of these types of implants provide us with a wide variety of options for permanently replacing missing teeth.
The following list details the types of implant restorations:

When her daughter Ashby was born in 2007, Nancy O'Dell was overjoyed; but she found the experience of pregnancy to be anxiety-provoking. O'Dell is host of the popular entertainment news show Entertainment Tonight.
After her baby was born she compiled her memories and thoughts into a book for first-time pregnant mothers. The book, "Full of Life: Mom to Mom Tips I Wish Someone Had Told Me When I Was Pregnant," covers a wide range of topics — including oral health during pregnancy.
"While my dental health has always been relatively normal, pregnancy did cause me some concern about my teeth and gums. With my dentist's advice and treatment, the few problems I had were minimized," O'Dell told Dear Doctor magazine. An example of her experience is a craving for milk that started at about the time the baby's teeth began to form. She felt that her body was telling her to consume more calcium.
As often happens with pregnant mothers, she developed sensitive gums and was diagnosed with "pregnancy gingivitis," the result of hormonal changes that increase blood flow to the gums.
"I love to smile," said O'Dell, "and smiles are so important to set people at ease, like when you walk into a room of people you don't know. When you genuinely smile you're able to dissolve that natural wall that exists between strangers."

MY MOTHER'S SECRET: An Adoption Story
I'm certain my mother would have strongly opposed SB335 as it progressed through the New Hampshire Senate and House in 2004. The Bill, which became law effective January 1, 2005, concerned access to records available to adult adoptees who were born and adopted in New Hampshire. These adoptees now can gain access to their own original, pre-adoption birth certificates…
Why would she have opposed this law?
Because she had a secret.
Her secret was revealed to her family on January 19, 2011. (more…)

Almost missed an important Anniversary of my 528i! According to my VIN decoder it came off the assembly line in Dingolfing on the 15th of May 1996, which means it turned 20 last Sunday! That also means I now only own cars that are at least 20 years old! Unfortunately the car is at my parents house at the moment, I won't have it back before sometime next month. It will finally receive a new set of wheels (M-Parallels) and an M-sport rearbumper soon though, which will make it even more awesome.
Still looks pretty good for its age I must say. Happy Birthday!

Avid Unveils Its Game Plan
Avid Technology's acquisition of Pinnacle Systems marks Avid's official entry into the consumer video-editing market. The deal, which closed last week, also gives Avid a broader product line, including its first professional-level graphics gear.
While Avid's stock price has dropped significantly since the acquisition, President/CEO David Krall remains bullish on the company's future: "The acquisition presents a unique opportunity to offer significant benefits to a wider range of content creators."
The new Avid has three divisions: video, audio and consumer. The video division includes professional products for post-production and broadcast and will be located in Avid headquarters in Tewksbury, Mass. Audio, which includes DigiDesign and M-Audio products, will stay in Daly City, Calif., while consumer will include Pinnacle's Studio editing system and will be based in Pinnacle's Mountain View, Calif., home.
Avid's near-term focus is to jell the two cultures. With 600 Pinnacle employees joining the fold, Avid's workforce has increased to 2,700, although 15% of Pinnacle's staff will be let go in the next few months, including CEO Patti Hart and CFO Marty Dotz. Krall relocated to the West Coast to facilitate the marriage.
The bigger hurdle is integrating product and R&D. The video division, for one, will expand its engineering force by 15%. Professional users will have to wait until the next NAB to see the results, but eliminating production steps to get stories on-air more quickly and easily tops the agenda.
The vast majority of Pinnacle's professional product line—including Deko character generators and graphics systems, Liquid editing systems, and the Thunder play-to-air video server—will live on as Avid brands. They'll sit alongside existing Avid products like the iNews newsroom system, Instinct and NewsCutter editing systems, and AirSpeed and Unity video servers. Only Pinnacle's Vortex nonlinear news editing system will be scrapped.
"There's been some talk about our commitment to the broadcast market, and I think the acquisition will lay those to rest," says David Schleifer, Avid VP, broadcast and work groups. "It really lets us architect systems that have complete editing and graphic workflows."
Although the editing systems seem to overlap, Avid won't eliminate Pinnacle's Liquid nonlinear editing line. Chas Smith, VP of the video division, says Liquid attracts users who want to edit on HDV or integrate DVD-burning: "We see that as something that will expand our market. Videographers, corporate video users, and others who create video that's not going to be televised like that system."
As for those who create televised content, the integration of the Deko character-generator product with Avid's editing systems is the one most customers—and competitors—have their eye on. "Media-asset management of graphics, video and audio will be important in helping our customers create the highest-quality product," says Smith.
An overlap also exists with video servers. Schleifer says Pinnacle's MediaStream server, used primarily for on-air playback of commercials and long-form content, complements Avid's AirSpeed server, which handles on-air playout of news. Users should expect tighter integration of those products, he says: "MediaStream's HD and SD capabilities will help us amend our product [strategy]. We never had a server for general program playout."
The biggest change for Avid is the creation of a consumer division. Pinnacle's Studio software has roughly 50% of that market, and the goal is to ensure that when amateur editors go pro, they'll be comfortable working with the Pinnacle editing interface and then be more likely to use Avid's professional products.
The Studio line will continue to be sold as "Pinnacle Studio," and new Consumer VP Jeff Hastings says Avid eventually will become a consumer sub-brand. Pinnacle's success with Studio stems largely from its being easy to install and use, and Hastings insists that won't change. The trick, though, is to make it easier for users to transition to more-sophisticated editing products.
"Consumers have been disappointed when they buy a professional-level system because they're so complicated," says Hastings, adding that a new middle-ground product will address the problem.
From a financial perspective, the marriage is off to a rocky start. Avid's most recent quarterly results missed targets, and the company says third-quarter results will be off as well, citing new product delays in the broadcast segment and the impact of foreign-currency movements. The news dropped its share price from $55 to about $40 in just one day last month. On the day of the deal's closing, it dipped further.
Steve Lidberg, senior research analyst with Pacific Crest Securities, says that was due to concerns about Avid's entering the consumer market. "It's much more volatile and has lower margins than Avid's traditional businesses," he says. "They need to show they'll be able to execute in the consumer business."
The industry generally seems to applaud the acquisition. Raycom Media VP of Technology Dave Folsom looks forward to "one-stop shopping" for customer support. "What could come out of this," he says, " are more common graphic standards and communications between graphics and editing."

SEATTLE -- A cat is being credited with saving three people from a mobile home fire in Pierce County Wednesday morning.
Firefighters said the single-wide mobile home on Pioneer Way west of Buckley had no working smoke detectors. But the cat woke them up.
"They made it out just in time," said East Pierce Fire and Rescue Deputy Marshal Paul Brockwell in a statement. "Smoke was to the floor, and they reported hearing windows breaking as they escaped. The cat saved their lives."
The cause of the fire was not immediately known. 40 mph winds made it harder for firefighters to battle the flames. The home is considered a total loss.

text: Brand Marketing How Ashley Madison Became So Attractive to Subscribers Again Site reboot builds even more trustBy David Gianatasio|November 29, 2016 Share By David Gianatasio|November 29, 2016 Share These days, Ashley Madison doesn't have to cheat to get ahead. So says Rob Segal, who has worked hard to refocus the site's image and rescue its reputation since April, when he left WorldGaming to join Ashley Madison's parent company, Ruby Corp. (formerly Avid Life Media), as CEO. Launched 15 years ago, Ashley Madison became famous (some would say infamous) as the go-to online resource for users (mostly men) seeking partners (mainly women) for affairs. Disaster struck in July 2015, when a breach of its database exposed the identities and information of some 32 millions users, tarnishing the brand's "good" name. Plus, Ashley Madison itself had been cheating: many of the "women" on the service were in fact bots deployed by its sales force to deceive men. Some doubted Ashley Madison would survive, but ownership banished the bots and shored up security to thwart future data hacks. (The site implemented more discrete credit card processing and stricter monitoring procedures.) And the board hired Segal, 49, a marketer by trade, who launched a big push to reposition the service as a lifestyle brand and social network for folks open to exploring aspects of human sexuality, from swinging and group sex to BDSM. Despite ongoing challenges, including an FTC investigation and a major class-action lawsuit, Ashley Madison is gaining users, and Segal believes the future looks bright. Adweek: What was your initial reaction when you were contacted for the CEO job? Rob Segal: I would be lying if I didn't say I had trepidation on this. I did think that if it could be pulled off, it would be one of the great turnarounds of all time, and I wanted to be part of something that big. I like building companies, I like resetting cultures, and I love advertising, and I was also intrigued by the idea of being a client for the first time in my life. By that I mean having my own company, my own product and my own budget to market it. I had to get comfortable with it, and I had to make sure it was cool with my wife and with my family. In Ashley Madison's July ad campaign, you dropped the "Life is short. Have an affair" tagline in favor of "Find your moment." We were trying to reposition away from a very shock-and-awe approach, a misogynistic approach that was, really, just focused on infidelity and cheating. I thought that it was narrow, and that the ads had to really speak to the user base, and address how the customers were actually using the site. Many of the customers were single (45 percent), and the ones that were in relationships were looking for others (often in couples, who were open to sexual experimentation). So, I guess you can say it was moving away from an affair boutique to a department store of open-mindedness. How's that working out? We gained 7 million members since July, taking our total over 49 million. But also, one of the things that we think is really positive is that our female sign-ups are up 20 percent. Can you describe the typical user? With 49 million, you span a wide range. But if you look at our core users, they would be in that mid-30s and older range, and they would be higher educated and higher income. How do you monetize that base? We get roughly 20,000-plus sign-ups a day. As we continue to improve the messaging and the user experience, you can expect more and more of those to turn into paying customers. It's free initially, but as you want to use more of the service, you purchase tokens (which start at $49), and you become a paying customer. (They spend an average of $200 a year on the site.)Continue Reading Pages: 1 2 Share http://adweek.it/2gToJqS copy Adweek Adweek

Nagano Science helps you to identify, control and manage risks in your storage stability testing process
Nagano Science helps you to identify, control and manage risks in your storage stability testing process.
Storage stability tests last for long periods and testing chambers are in operation 24/7 for years.
This means that samples are exposed to various risks for a long period. Any interruption during the test period may result in invalid or partial or even complete loss of storage stability testing data.
Not only would that incur a substantial increase of costs. At worst, it risks to delay the termination of quality control data, in turn causing delays in product registration and selling of the pharmaceutical product and significant loss of revenues for the company.
To help you to minimize and mitigate those risks, Nagano Science offers a total risk management program with assessment and risk control measures.
The program is based on applicable standards by the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH), mainly Q8, Q9 and Q10, giving you a mechanism of defining, implementing and monitoring critical product quality attributes, quality assurance and quality control processes.
The result is a world-class operating structure, minimizing risks in the storage stability testing process and thereby saving your company cost, damage and loss of quality control data.
Nagano Science offers a full range of services, including:
- Risk Assessment
- Back-up storage
- Validation
- Daily inspection
- Operator training
- Documentation
- Creation of QMS (quality management system) and SOP (standard operation procedure)
You can choose a full Risk Management program or any part thereof, depending on your needs.

Around two-thirds of marketers are using videos for marketing; you can't afford to be left out.
(Hurley 2019)
The statistics show that businesses, whatever their size, need to invest in digital marketing to be competitive. Video is a solid investment with video marketers on average receiving a 54% increase in brand awareness. (Hurley 2019)
Consider what that level of exposure could do for your business.
When you work with a team of experts in video content marketing, you are not only engaging someone to film content.
An experienced creative production agency will work with their client to develop the brief, produce the content, and deliver the finished product on time and on budget. In an industry like video content marketing, essentially you get what you pay for.
Every video is the product of a customised package, tailored to the specific needs and nature of a client's business. How much does it cost? Well, what are your specific needs? There are a number of factors that will influence the cost of your video content and price varies for every client. In our experience, most clients don't find the investment is less than they anticipated. Factors that influence your investment include but are not limited to:
Consider how much businesses who successfully invest in content stand out from the crowd. In such a cluttered digital advertising space, you can't afford not to invest in video, and it's probably not as expensive as you think.

The Nigeria Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture has denied claims by the Organised Labour that the Tripartite Committee on National Minimum Wage agreed on N30,000 for the country.
This was contained in a Press Statement signed by Samuel Olowookere, Director Press, Ministry of Labour and Employment and made available to news men in Abuja on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the representative of NACCIMA in the tripartite committee, M. F Dankaka in a letter to Ama Pepple, Chairman of the committee, had said that NACCIMA did not agree to such figure.
It said: "At no time did NACCIMA agree to such a figure.
"Rather the last figure offered by us as part of the Organised Private Sector was the sum of N22, 000 and negotiation was still ongoing for the meeting to arrive at a consensus and not by moving a motion."

Technical Information
Because we always keep in mind the comfort of hunters, our engineers have created the warm GLENARM 300 boot. The goal? Protect your feet from humidity and cold with a fur lining. Whether you are actively hunting alongside your dogs in search of woodcocks, pheasants, partridges, rabbits and other small game, or on a big game drive, your feet remain protected so that you can enjoy your passion comfortably.
The balance between lightness, warmth and resistance is optimal with these warm GLENARM 300. Comfortable, they ensure good support to the foot and ankle, even more so on slippery ground. Thus, you hunt and move safely. To wear in rainy weather, but also and especially when the mercury falls in autumn or in winter. They guarantee a pleasant thermal comfort. Moreover, especially because of the fur lining, we advise to choose one size bigger
With this model, you walk without that feeling of heavy feet and legs. Whether you use them for hunting or walking through fields or along muddy, puddle-covered trails, these boots will protect you from rain (they are waterproof) and keep your feet dry. The component and assembly are also highly abrasion and puncture resistant.
You fear falling when you walk on muddy ground? Fear not: Thanks to these boots with their 5mm treads, the grip on difficult terrain is optimal. In addition, the 3mm thick insole offers good absorption capacity. Thus, even if your feet sweat, some of this sweat is absorbed, allowing you to continue walking without discomfort and focus only on hunting game.
To keep your boots in good condition, clean them after each use with water and/or Ph neutral soap (avoid using hard brushes or abrasive sponges). Then wipe them with a cloth or leave them to dry in a well-ventilated place away from heat sources. Store the boots upright, away from humidity, preferably in a dry and well-ventilated place. It goes without saying that you can go in the water with this pair up to the shaft level.

Back to all news
BrookStreet des Roches, based at 25A Western Avenue, is celebrating its 20th anniversary as a law firm.
The company is a specialist commercial law firm and is nationally renowned for its expertise in commercial property. The firm was founded on the 1st April 1994 and opened its offices in Witney. From its beginning as a 3 partner firm, it has grown to 18 partners with a total head count of 80 staff of whom 40 are lawyers. The firm had outgrown its Witney offices in 2006 and as a result moved here to Milton Park in July 2007.
Hugh Blaza, Managing Partner of the company, said: "We wanted modern offices with room to grow in a good location, close to London and the motorway and rail network. There really was no alternative to Milton Park. "Although our move coincided with the onset of the recession, we did not regret it for an instant. In fact, we think our proximity to the kind of clients we were hoping to attract was an added benefit, particularly those who wanted to move their work away from the more expensive London firms but wanted the convenience of having their lawyers relatively close by."
The firm has hired around 15 new lawyers in the last two years and hopes to continue its expansion as the economy improves. For more information visit: http://www.bsdr.com/

A backdoor malware campaign dubbed OilRig that in May was discovered targeting organisations in Saudi Arabia is now trying to drill into government entities in Turkey, Israel and the US, as well as Qatari companies and organisations.
Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 threat research team updated the campaign's latest spear-phishing efforts in a blog post on Tuesday, warning that the campaign has updated its "Helminth" backdoor software as well as the malicious Excel documents that distribute the malware via macros.
According to the blog post, the phishing emails targeting Qatari organisations "were very specific to the organisation receiving them and in some cases were sent from partner organisations that already had a relationship with the recipient."
Changes to malware over the last five months include the emergence of four distinct variants, each of which drops different filenames upon execution, Palo Alto continued in its report.

I had an idea for a long, self-involved post about me for New Year's. I'm still going to write and post it, but I'm scheduling it for January 6, the Feast of the Epiphany.
So here's a short rave – not quite a review—of a great book I read over the New Year's weekend, Boomtown by Sam Anderson. This is not exactly a disclaimer; I met Sam Anderson when he was a teenager, several times, at holidays at his grandmother's house. While I would love to say "I know him," (as in, "Oh, yeah, Pulitzer-Prize-winning Sam Anderson, I know him), that is stretching things a bit. My original interest of the book did come from that fact that I recognized his name, and I'd read other shorter works of his.
Boomtown is nonfiction, and it's about Oklahoma City. If you'd told me a month ago I would love a book about Oklahoma City, I probably would have choked on my coffee laughing. The book is not about the worst act of domestic terrorism in the country's history, although it's in there; it's not about a city routinely devastated by tornadoes, although they are in there, it's not about the OKC Thunder's 2012 basketball season, although that is the through-line Anderson uses; it's about a city that shouldn't even exist, a wild, inventive scam of a city, a perennial boomtown that regularly busts, and invents itself again.
Through the lens of a midwestern city in a state once called "the reddest in the nation" (politically); a state where teachers fled in droves to neighboring states because they couldn't live on what they were paid, Anderson writes a biography of the colonial American spirit, in all its imagination and inventiveness and all its blood-soaked injustice. And, oh yeah, basketball, starting with a team once named the Seattle SuperSonics, which OKC basically stole and carried off to their "small market" city; a team that, in 2012, had three superstars; Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James "the Beard" Harden.
Anderson thoroughly and meticulously researched Oklahoma City, even while he was covering the 2012 roundball season and its attendant drama (the general manager traded Harden away with little warning when Harden wouldn't re-sign). The writing is so smooth and approachable, the book so gracefully organized that the research never intruded. Anderson's conversational, funny narrative voice never intruded either. He has the discipline of a journalist; he is in this book, but he is not the centerpiece. The city is. Anderson's unflagging curiosity brought him to strange stories and strange corners of a place most of us on one of the coasts would dismiss as "flyover country."
From its inception the city is based on cheating. First of all, having taken over the entire continent of the native tribal people, the Federal government then broke (another) treaty with them and took away the land that became Oklahoma City. The men who became the city's Founding Fathers actually cheated at the Land Run. That's the city's history. They cheated at a race. If you wondered where the term "Sooner" came from, that's it; they sneaked into the Land Run territory sooner than legally allowed, and when the bugle sounded to start the race, they came out of hiding and claimed the prime land.
While looking at the racism, corruption, and power-mongering of "city fathers" (and they are all male) for slightly more than a century, Anderson still respects the spirit of the place and the people who live there, and it shows. From a meteorologist who became a regional celebrity to a zany alt-rock recording star, several important civil rights figures as well as prominent writers, he finds people who represent the spirit of OKC beyond the short-sightedness and the inequality. There's something slightly delusional about the spirit of OKC, and something kind of glorious. Boomtown captures both.
Anderson spent his childhood on the west coast and he now lives on the eastern one. It would be easy for someone with that background to approach a city like OKC with a sense of smugness, superiority and disrespect. Anderson does not.
If you enjoy Sarah Vowell's books, you will love this one. It's a testament to Anderson's skill and hard work that the research, the diligent organization (I want to say "plotting"), and the fluent narrative voice weave together seamlessly. Underlying the talent and hard work, though, is a spark of what makes the difference between a good writer and a great writer. That spark is curiosity. Anderson has it and he fanned it into life here. Read Boomtown.

Annie Baker's play, "The Flick", currently in production at Steppenwolf's Upstairs Theatre, 1650 N. Halsted, through May 8, 2016, took the Pulitzer Prize in 2014, as well as winning the Susan Smith Blackburn Award and the Obie Award for Playwriting. After the first act, which ran one hour and forty minutes, this reviewer joined other guests in the lobby, and heard many gentle complaints about how slowly it was moving; nobody spoke of leaving. Since most people who go to Steppenwolf are sophisticated consumers, what gives? The audience was experiencing a flicker of exactly what Baker is driving at- the non-action of her characters' lives.
The time is now- the scene is set in the last 35mm movie house in Worcester County, Massachusetts. As the play opens, and the day to day existence of the 3 minimum wage workers who marginally operate "The Flick" theater wears on, they suspect the coming of anathema-digitally shown, digitally mastered films. Caroline Neff as Rosie, perhaps 30 and college-educated, and Danny McCarthy as Sam, 39, a blue-collar kid, have worked here forever; she runs the projector, he is in general maintenance and helps run the concessions booth. And he loves her, but she doesn't know. In comes Avery, played by Travis Turner, a much younger black kid, who has taken time off from college-his dad teaches semiotics-to learn the ropes-or, in this case, how to push a broom. He's in love with movies, and wants to save the old technology. In the end, he helps to save them all and to escape.
A good four fifth's of the play is spent watching Sam and Travis push those brooms around a stage whose front half eerily mirrors the one where the Steppenwolf audience is sitting- the upper back half reveals Rosie's projection booth. Sometimes we can hear the whir of the projectors. Sometimes we can hear loud music from running film. But, mostly, all we can hear is brilliant subtly spare dialogue-the interior monologues of their lives played out before us. Annie Baker's pitch-perfect ear catches and amplifies the unsettling emptiness of the older two through their laconic remarks. Even Avery, whose life-trajectory certainly seems brighter, seems bogged down with trivia- he and Sam play an ongoing game that requires a breadth of information about the movies and the actors in those movies that have framed their lives.For Sam, the game may be a way to pass time with Avery. However, Avery can mine a deep vein of information about these films, and express well-thought-out opinions about each film's place in the pantheon. The two push on, occassionally treated to rencounters with Rosie. There are many fade-to-black times out, and the pushing resumes.
Yet, some important events ARE taking place among the three people, amid the spilt popcorn and the candy wrappers.Very quickly, Avery is roped in to their thievery; they all steal from the receipts. A very typical triangulation takes place; Sam tries to convince Avery that Rosie is gay, and expresses his dreams of learning the projector. When Sam leaves for his retarded brother's wedding, they betray him deeply, if unknowingly: Avery reveals the brother's condition, is taught the projector, and has almost immobile manual one-way sex with Rosie. When Sam returns, most of it comes out. And still, the reels turn and the brooms push.
These characters are all too human. The emotions of the older two have been trained into compliance like hair with Brilcream-only the cowlick of get-back-at-the-boss petty thievery sticks out. For Avery, things are not quite the same. Although he's a self-contained nerd, he walks out with what he needs when Damascus arrives in the form of a digital buy-out- he gets the projector after getting betrayed and fired. Yet, despite the circumstances and the restrictions imposed on their lives, these charachters reveal themselves to each other and to us, and just as film has informed their lives, they inform ours in unexpected human ways. We understand them and they understand and forgive each other.
Dexter Bullard did a masterful job at directing the three stars; in retrospect, there's not a spare word to cut. Sometimes, though, it was hard to hear them; if this, too, was intentional, then it's worth straining to listen: if not, mike them up so we can hear every line! The acting is understated and catches every nuance. The play is highly recommended.

UK Sikhs join protest at Human Rights Court verdict
Sikhs in the UK have joined the outcry against a decision by the European Court of Human Rights to uphold a French law which bans the wearing of the turban on identity document photographs.
The Sikh Federation (UK) has pledged to exert political pressure for a reversal, singling out Members of the European Parliament as possible allies.
The Court in Strasbourg dismissed a legal challenge filed by United Sikhs on behalf of French resident Shingara Mann Sikh, but United Sikhs immediately rejected the Court's justification that religious freedom could be denied on the basis of public security and protection of public order.
French regulations require motorists to appear "bareheaded and facing forward" in their driver's licence photographs. Shingara Singh, a 53-year-old from the northern Paris suburbs, had his replacement licence application refused in 2005 and again in 2006.
When the verdict was announced, he said: "The Court's judgement is oppression against the Sikh community because a Sikh is mandated by his faith to wear a turban at all times. The Court has clearly not recognized what the turban means to a Sikh."
Mejindarpal Kaur, United Sikhs' Director for International Civil and Human Rights Advocacy, said: "We submitted three compelling arguments before the European Court of Human Rights.
"Firstly, that European Commission regulations do not require a bare head as a minimum requirement for other ID documents – e.g. a passport – because of the advent of biometrics; secondly, that a Sikh wears a dastaar (Sikh turban) at all times and hence is only identifiable with his turban, and thirdly, that there is no evidence that the Sikh turban poses a security threat, as evidenced by the fact that France allows Sikhs of other nationalities to travel through France with ID photographs displaying the turban on their driver's licences and passports."
She said: "This decision is a travesty of justice against the Sikh community which views the Court's decision as perverse because the Court did not require a response from France before issuing a decision that deeply interferes with a Sikh's basic religious rights."
United Sikhs, a global lobbying group, will now file cases before the United Nations' Human Rights Committee on behalf of Shingara Singh and another man, Ranjit Singh, concerning ID photographs on their passport and residence cards, respectively.
Shingara Singh's London Lawyer, Stephen Grosz of Bindmans LLP said the Court was quite wrong to declare that removing a turban was necessary for identification and, he said, identifying a Sikh who wears a turban at all times with an ID photograph without the turban did not accord with common sense.
"The issue is serious enough to demand the French government to justify this restriction, which the Court did not," he said.
Mr Grosz said the decisions would not legally affect the fight which United Sikhs would be pursuing through the UN Human Rights Committee, as the Committee was not bound by the decision of the European Court of Human Rights. "Additionally, the UN Human Rights Committee has traditionally been much more receptive to cases of religious discrimination than the Strasburg Court. We hope this tendency will continue," he said.
Bhai Amrik Singh, chair of the Sikh Federation (UK) speaking from Southampton, said the verdict was hugely disappointing but Sikhs would challenge it as discrimination. "We will continue to exert political pressure so the Sikh identity is properly protected throughout Europe," he said.
He added: "The new pan-European credit card-style driving licence will begin in 2013 and we have in the past been given assurances by certain Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) that photographs of Sikhs whilst wearing their turbans will be allowed for the new driving licence. In light of the Court's decision we will have to maintain pressure on the MEPs on this issue."
Disappointment, anger and concern has been expressed in France, America and Canada.
Chain Singh, President of Bobigny Gurdwara, the largest Sikh place of worship in France, said: "We are living under duress under French law. Our children who are citizens of France cannot get education with their identity intact. What's our future in France? We are deeply shocked. Our future is in the hands of the Sikh Qaum (community) now more than ever. The Sikh Qaum has to now decide the future of Sikhs globally."
Gurdial Singh, who has been in the forefront of the Right to Turban campaign in France, said: "We thought that we would get justice in the European court. This decision is a violation of religious freedom. This is the start of European fundamentalism. But I have full faith that the Guru will defend the Turban, if he wants us to continue wearing his turban. We are the foot-soldiers; the Guru is the general and will give us victory eventually."
Dr Pritpal Singh, Co-ordinator of the American Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee, said: "This judgment is a rude shock. They have cut us out from the tree of justice completely."
Gurbax Singh Malhi, a Canadian MP, said: "Sikhs should globally decide what the way forward should be. Sikhs are peace-loving and hardworking and their turban should not be perceived as a security threat."

Law students and faculty can access PACER federal docket information (and dockets for many states and some foreign jurisdictions) without charge via Bloomberg Law. If you don't have a Bloomberg Law password, you can register for one. Allow a day or two for activation. If you need immediate help, visit the Reference Desk or email email@example.com.
What if Bloomberg Law doesn't have a document I'm looking for?
Bloomberg Law pulls its information from PACER, so if Bloomberg Law doesn't have a document, it's most likely that PACER won't have it either. Contact a reference librarian at firstname.lastname@example.com for assistance.

Last updated 2nd April, 2019
The Logs Data Platform gives you a valuable log retention system, even with the most basic plan. But in some cases you may want to keep your logs beyond the provided duration. It can be for legal reasons, for analytic purposes or maybe only for historical ones. The long-term storage feature allows you to generate a daily archive of any stream with some simple configuration steps.
As implied in the title, you will need a stream. If you don't know what a stream is or if you don't have any, you can follow this quick start tutorial. You must edit the stream configuration to activate the cold storage. Click on the Edit button in the menu to go to the stream configuration page.
Activating cold storage on a stream
On this page you will find the long-term storage toggle. Once enabled, you will be able to choose different options:
- The compression algorithm. We currently support GZIP, DEFLATE (AKA zip), Zstandard or LZMA (used by 7-Zip).
- The retention duration of your archives (from one year to ten years).
- The activation of the notification for each new archive available.
As soon as you click on
Save, the cold storage is activated. Here are some more things you need to know about this feature:
As soon as the feature is activated, your logs will be stored for the specified duration. The effect is immediate so the billing of this feature will be also immediate.
- Deactivating the cold storage on a stream will prevent the producing of new archives but it won't delete the already produced archives. These archives will be kept for the duration configured.
- Changing the retention duration WILL delete any archive exceeding the new retention (Ex: choosing a one year retention will implicitly delete all archives older than one year).
- We push a daily archive of the 2 days old data you pushed.
- When you activate the feature for the first time we can't create an archive for data older than two days before the activation.
- Deleting the stream WILL delete any archive associated. The stream must be alive to be able to keep its archive.
Retrieving the archives
Using the OVH Manager
On a cold storage enabled stream (you can quickly see if they are with the archive checkbox), you have a new
Archives item on the bottom of the stream menu. Click on it to navigate to the archives pages. On this page, you have a list of the archives produced. Each archive is named after its date, so you can quickly retrieve an archive of a particular day.
From this page you can launch the "unfreezing" process of your archive and make it available for download. This delay varies between 10 minutes to 4 hours depending on multiple factors like the size of the archive.
Once available, its status changes and a new
Download action appears.
Using the API
If you want to download your logs using the API (to use them in a Big Data analysis platform for example), you can do all these steps by using the OVH api available at https://api.ovh.com. You can try all these steps with the OVH API Console.
You will need your OVH service name associated with your account. Your service name is the login logs-xxxxx that is displayed in the left of the OVH Manager.

Using ldp-archive-mirror
To allow you to get a local copy of all your cold stored archives on Logs Data Platform, we have developed an open source tool that will do this passively: ldp-archive-mirror The installation and configuration procedure is described on the related github page
Content of the archive
The data you retrieve in the archive is by default in GELF format. It is ordered by the field timestamp and retain all additional fields that you would have add (with your Logstash collector for example). Since this format is fully compatible with JSON, you can use it right away in any other system.

We were quite a large group (21 of us and some of us were traveling to this region for the first time including me). We boarded two buses with all our supplies and groceries, utensils and camping equipments to last for a week. So, that we could cook, eat and camp where ever it was possible.
|Near Yebilaptsa
Day 1: Gelephu
We started our journey early in the morning on the 8th of Jan. 2014 and reached Gelephu around 6 pm.
We went for shopping in the Gelephu Town as we needed some extra supplies to last for all of us and had an early dinner because the next day we will be heading towards a place called Gomphu.
|Our Camp @ Gomphu
Day 2: Gomphu
The road to Gomphu was very narrow and steep. But luckily no vehicles ply on those roads.
We reached Gomphu Eco Lodge & camping site in the evening. It was very cold there.
The small eco lodge is owned & managed by the Gomphu Community. Since, the rooms could hardly accommodate us, some of us had to sleep in the tents. It was fun and interesting there. They had already made preparations for a bonfire.
|Bone Fire @ Gomphu
|One of the Eco-Lodge in Gomphu
Day 3: Panbang
The never ending winding roads were very tiring. However, the scenic beauty of the place awaked us. There is a large and beautiful twin waterfall on the way to Panbang. It was warm there. We stopped there to take pictures.
|The Twin Waterfall near Panbang
Actually in our itenary, we were to stop for the night at Panbang Eco Lodge. However, when we reached there it was already occupied by some guest. So, we looked for two other lodges but it was not possible to stay there.
|The Panbang Bridge
|Bank of the Manas River.
Day 3: Camping on the Bank of the River Manas
So, we camped on the bank of Manas River. It was very windy at night.
I felt as if the wind will blow our tents at night. But nothing as such happened.
|RMNP Sign Board
Day 4: RMNP
It was so windy on the morning, that we decided to go straight to the park area.
Finally on the fourth morning of our trip, we crossed the river on the boat to reach the Park area.

|Wild Buffaloes

|There is a football Ground behind those trees.
|Our Camping Site in Manas
|The scenery are enchanting.

|Elephant Ride
|Hiking towards a place called Special Thang
On our second morning at the park, some of us went for Bird Watching. I spotted a Collared Owlet. There are plenty of Rufous Hornbill and Parakeets.
We went hiking to a place called Special Thang after breakfast.
There were lots of Indian Gooseberry trees.
Unfortunately, we weren't lucky enough to spot any animals. On our way back and forth we saw some footprints of tigers and leopards.
It is estimated that there are only 35 tigers in the Manas Region.
The Indian side of the Manas is a World Heritage Site for conserving tigers.
|footprints of a Tiger
The name of the dry river is Geylongkhola.
After hiking for nearly two hours, we reached the Watch Tower.
However, there was nothing to see. May be the wild animals were scared by our large group.
And, saw some jungle fowl.
When we reached our camp site, i were so tired that i directly went to sleep.
|Wooden Boat
Day 6: RMNPOn our third day @ RMNP, we went for river rafting..
Day 7: Back to Gelephu

A Brief Introduction of Royal Manas National Park:
This park has only recently been opened to the public and offers thousands of animal and plant species, many of which are globally endangered, it is not only the most diverse protected area in the Kingdom but also noted as one of the world's biologically outstanding parks.
Lying in south central Bhutan, Manas is connected at the southern border with India's Manas Tiger Reserve, a World Heritage Site. To the north it borders the Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park. Royal Manas was designated a wildlife sanctuary in 1966 making it Bhutan's oldest protected area. The area was upgraded to a National Park in 1993.
There are wide climate variations in Royal Manas. The May-September monsoons bring up to 5,000mm of rain. Rainfall is negligible in winter and the climate is extremely pleasant from November till March.
Manas is also extremely rich in wildlife species, including the highly endangered Royal Bengal tiger, Asian elephant, greater one-horned rhinoceros, clouded leopard, Himalayan black bear, gangetic dolphin and pangolin. Found virtually nowhere else in the world is the especially rare golden langur, a primate of extraordinary grace and beauty with its long, silky blond fur.
More than 365 species of birds have been officially recorded in Royal Manas National Park with an additional 200 believed to be in residence. Species found here include the globally threatened rufous-necked hornbill, Pallas fishing eagle, great white-bellied heron, spotted wren-babbler, blue-headed rock thrush and emerald cuckoo. Many of the park's more than 900 types of plants have commercial, medicinal, traditional and religious significance.
WWF and Bhutan's Nature Conservation Division jointly developed a five-year conservation management plan which includes training and equipping park staff, improving park infrastructure, and supporting biological and socio-economic surveys and park monitoring programs. (Source TCB Website).
