The series was inspired by Hirsch's own childhood experiences with his twin sister during their summer vacations, while Stan was based on his own grandfather of the same name.

# Creator Alex Hirsch Talks GRAVITY FALLS, How He Ended Up Making a Show for the Disney Channel, His Love for TV Animation and More

The Disney Channel animated comedy series Gravity Falls, from creator/executive producer/writer/director Alex Hirsch, follows city kids Dipper (voiced by Jason Ritter) and Mabel Pines (voiced by Kristen Schaal), who are sent to spend the summer with their eccentric Great Uncle Stan, aka Grunkle Stan (voiced by Hirsch), who runs a tourist trap called The Mystery Shack in a remote northwestern town where nothing is what it seems.

With creatures in the forest, monsters in the lake and time travel a possibility, things get very interesting for the twins as they quickly realize they need each other, in order to unlock the secrets of the quirky and mysterious town.

During this recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, CalArts graduate Alex Hirsch talked about what initially interested him in animation, how he ended up creating a show for the Disney Channel, what inspired the idea for Gravity Falls, how his relationship with his own twin sister growing up is really what's at the heart of this show, the craziest summer experience that he's personally had, the process for deciding the look of the show and characters, and how his family feels about being represented on the show.

He also talked about what he loves about television animation, and how he'd love to branch out and do an adult animated series, at some point.

Check out what he had to say after the jump.

Collider: How did this show come about for you, and what inspired the idea?

I would say that these stories and these characters are something that I've had with me for a long time.

The primary relationship in the series, between a brother who is kind of neurotic and obsessed with the paranormal and his goofy, wacky sister, came from my real life.

I have a real twin sister, and I really was that neurotic kid who would carry 16 disposable cameras everywhere I went, and my sister really did wear wacky sweaters and have a different ridiculous crush, every week.

The main relationship in the show is 100% mine, from my own childhood.

And their uncle Stan is very much inspired by my grandpa Stan, who was a guy that told tall tales and would frequently mess with us to get a rise out of us.

So, my family really inspired the characters on the show.

In terms of the subject matter – mysteries and magic and the paranormal – just all came from the stuff I loved, when I was a kid.

I would still read the Weekly World News, back when that was in print, and the black and white tabloids with Batboy and Elvis.

I always thought, if I was gonna make a kids show, I would want to make something that my own 12-year-old self would love.

So, I put all that in a blender and stewed it together to create Gravity Falls.

How did you end up getting the series on the air?

I was working at Cartoon Network, at the time, on a show called Flapjack, and a Disney executive, Mike Moon, just cold-called me.

He'd seen one of my student films and really liked it, and said, "Would you like to develop a show for the Disney Channel?"

I hadn't thought about developing a show for the Disney Channel, but I thought, "Maybe this is the place that would be interested in my weird Twin Peaks meets The Simpsons series.

From the moment that I pitched it to them until now, I've just been really surprised and really grateful for the fact that they've embraced it.

They never said, "Add a talking race car," or anything like that.

They've respected and been excited by my vision, the whole way through.

I made a conscious choice, when I pitched this, that I wasn't going to change it.

If they had said, "That's great, but what if they all rapped?," I would say, "It's a pleasure doing business with you.

I was very fortunate that the first studio I went to was at a place creatively where they wanted something different and they wanted something creator-driven.

How did you initially get interested in animation, and what was your first exposure to it that led you to want to pursue it, as a career?

If you ask anyone in animation, how long they've been into animation, they'll pretty much always tell you that it's since they can remember, and I'm no exception.

I've always just loved drawing and loved cartoons.

Growing up, I loved Disney films, I loved The Simpsons, and I was a big fan of the comic strip Calvin & Hobbes and the way that they would have weird fantasy and then down-to-earth funny character comedy.

As long as I could hold a pencil, I was drawing and telling stories and making jokes.

I've just been lucky that no one ever stopped me, and now I can do that for a living.

I went to CalArts, the animation college in Valencia, after high school, which was a really great experience.

It's expensive as all hell, but anyone who loves animation and wants a career in it [wants to go there].

I can speak to my experience and say that CalArts worked out very well for me.

After CalArts, I went to Cartoon Network, and then came to Disney.

What was it about The Simpsons that you found so inspiring?

I've always loved The Simpsons, just because it was really, really funny.

You know that the dad is dumb and frustrated, and you know that the boy is smarter than everyone else around him and is constantly getting into mischief.

All the references and all the adult stuff goes over your head.

But then, as you get older, you keep watching it and you keep discovering new references and new things.

I feel like the best kids shows aren't just for kids.

The best kids shows have something in it for everyone.

As you grow up, you're increasingly proud to be a fan of the show, rather than getting to an age where you suddenly become embarrassed that you ever liked it because it's only for seven-year-olds.

Would you say that this town is the place you wish you could have spent your summers, as a kid?

I spent many summers up in a cabin with my twin sister and some of our relatives.

Those summers were very long, and there was no TV and no internet connection.

In the void left by technology and entertainment, my imagination grew to fill it.

I would spend those summers imagining, "What if there was a monster in the lake?

This is my chance to make all those childhood fantasies come true.

What was the craziest summer experience that you had, personally?

The most relevant misadventure that I had, as a kid, is when I remember being pretty convinced that leprechauns were real and that I was going to catch one.

I was pretty young, at that point, but I built a leprechaun trap that was made to look like a tiny hotel.

There was a ramp where the leprechaun could walk into the hotel, see a Lego pot of gold on the other side, try to reach it, fall through a trap door, go through a tube, wind up in a biscuit tin, and be trapped.

My mom, encouraging my madness, told me that the leprechaun might escape and that I needed a shot glass of whiskey down there to keep him occupied while he was in there.

As you might imagine, I did not catch a leprechaun.

But, I remember when I went to check on the trap, there was a hole burst through it with green glitter everywhere and the whiskey was missing.

I knew my mom did that, so that I would feel like I caught a leprechaun.

And yet, at the same time, I was so grateful that she did.

I was so grateful that she knew that I believed this stuff enough, that she was willing to encourage it.

Even though I didn't catch a leprechaun, I got that split second of thinking that maybe I did.

That was the closest thing I came to a close encounter.

How did you decide on the look of the animation for this and what the characters would look like?

I went to art school with a lot of really, really talented friends, and one of my roommates actually became the art director on the series.

He's an immensely talented guy named Ian Worrel.

When you've been to art school, there's this temptation to get really fancy and really intricate, and try to draw the most complicated, difficult thing you can, and that's often a dangerous temptation because it's not funny or engaging.

We definitely went through a development stage where we thought, "What if we made this look super avant garde?"

And we ended up just coming back to something simple and something funny.

I always loved the design of the Muppets on The Muppet Show.

Even though Kermit can't blink and he doesn't have legs, he's got those round eyes and skinny little arms, and because there's so little there and he's so simple, you fill in the blanks in your mind.

I wanted these designs to be simple and iconic.

The actual designs of the characters themselves are very inspired by myself and my sister.

I always wore a baseball cap, wherever I went, because I didn't like showering and I didn't want people to see how messy my hair was.

My sister would frequently wear these hideous, neon-colored sweaters.

How does your family feel about being represented on the show?

There is a very specific, unique brand of rivalry that exists between twins.

You're always wondering who the Alpha twin is.

I think my sister is both honored to be on my show and jealous that I have a show.

But, because I owe so much of the comedy and the heart of the show to the character based on my sister, I've tried to give that character gifts that my sister would like.

My sister always wanted a pet pig, so Mabel has a pet pig on the series.

My sister always was obsessed with the band 'NSync, so I got Lance Bass to do a voice on the show and I introduced him to my sister.

So, I've been trying to make up for all the mockery that also exists on the series.

You have some great guest stars, but if you could get anyone to do a voice on the show and create a character for them, who would you want to have do it?

If I had Jon Stewart doing the voice of just about anything, whether it was a wizard or a troll or just a postman, I would die happy.

If The Mythbusters ever wanted to do a voice on the show, I think we could do a really funny episode where they attempted to debunk the town and then got terrified by what happened instead.

With something so personal to you and that you have such a connection to, was it weird to find people to voice Mabel and Dipper Pines?

The toughest role to cast was the role of the sister character, and I just lucked out with Kristen Schaal.

And unlike a lot of people who are funny, so also has this incredible voice that's very unique and specific and has this youthfulness about it.

She could be a woman, or she could be a kid.

Like many people, I saw her role as Mel on The Flight of the Conchords, and the moment I saw it, her stalkerish obsession with that band reminded me of my sister's stalkerish obsession with many boys in bands, when we were kids.

And Jason Ritter does the voice of Dipper.

We did a pretty big casting process, and when I finally heard his audition and I held it up next to Kristen's voice, I got the sense of a really fun chemistry and contrast between someone very spaced out and silly, and somebody tightly wound and neurotic.

At what point did you decide that you also wanted to voice characters on the show?

Was it always just a given that you would voice somebody?

I never planned on it, but when you're doing an animated series, you tend to pitch storyboards.

You write a script and then you draw a comic version of that script and put it up on big boards, and then you pitch it to a big room of executives and writers.

When you're pitching, you tend to do the voices, and I always had a voice for Grunkle Stan and for Soos.

They just became the voice that everyone associated with those characters, so strongly that when we started to actually cast, it just seemed natural that I continue what I was doing in those pitches on the series.

In doing a show that's part adventure and part mystery, with comedy and drama, what are the biggest challenges in keeping everything in balance?

In terms of balancing all the storytelling elements, that's very difficult.

I'm integrally involved in the writing of almost every episode.

The most difficult thing with cracking a Gravity Falls story is trying to find something that has a character story, at the core of it, that's about a relationship and is a small, petty, silly, funny, relatable human experience, and then find a good reason to connect it to strange, paranormal, magical, sci-fi elements.

Every episode has that balance, but some are more successful than others.

I think it gets better, as the series goes on, between the small and the mundane and the normal mixed with the big and the crazy.

There's one episode that I'm very happy with where Dipper wakes up one morning to discover that his sister Mabel is one millimeter taller than he is.

They've always been the same height, their entire lives, because they're twins, but now that she's a millimeter taller, it seems like she's the Alpha twin.

It seems like she's the best twin, and she starts gloating and it really goes to her head, so he finds a way to grow himself bigger than her.

Of course, it's Gravity Falls, so this goes horrifically awry, but that's a story that I love because it is about this tiny thing being blown out of proportion.

It's about competition between siblings, and yet it also turns into this ridiculous adventure.

With this being a kids show, how do you go about deciding the level of violence you want to have on it?

The concern about what's too violent or what's too scary is something that I just completely don't let enter into my creative process.

I feel like, if I spend a lot of time trying to worry about whether it will appeal to everyone and who will like it and who won't, and I try to please everyone, I'll just spread myself too thin and lose my mind.

So, I start from a place of, "Will I like this? Would I think this is funny?"

I look to myself now and to myself as a kid and say, "If I was hanging out with my 12-year-old self, would we both get a kick out of this?"

That's as far as I go, in terms of worrying about the audience.

Now that you've done this show, are you hoping to continue to develop and create animated series, or are you also hoping to branch out to animated features or live-action?

I recently interned at Pixar and they actually offered me a job as a story artist there, but I'm just not as interested in features.

What's so great about TV is that I can tell 20 stories in a year.

If I was working at a feature studio, I'd tell 1% of someone else's story, over the course of four years.

In terms of creative engagement, I just love being able to produce, produce, produce.

You don't always get it perfect, but it has much more of an improvisational element, and you learn.

You learn what works and what doesn't work.

If you screw something up, next week's show is right on your heels, so you can do it better the next time.

That's really fun and really exciting to me.

After doing this season – and it's been so fun, but it's also been so challenging – I kind of feel like I could do anything.

I could imagine doing a feature, sometime down the line.

I've really enjoyed doing this kids series, but I would love, at some point, to do a series that's on one of the adult networks and talk about things that I can't talk about on the Disney Channel.

But for now, I'm very happy to be here, and I'm very happy to be working on this series.

Gravity Falls airs on Friday nights on the Disney Channel.

Prior to working on the series, series creator Alex Hirsch's primary inspiration growing up was the popular animated sitcom "The Simpsons", where he observed that "animation could be funnier than live-action. That animation didn't have to just be for kids. That it could be satirical and observational and grounded in a sense of character interaction". Hirsch graduated from the California Institute of the Arts, and was hired to work as writer and storyboard artist for the Cartoon Network series "The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack", where he was paired up with Pendleton Ward, the creator of "Adventure Time". Afterwards, he moved on to co-develop the Disney Channel animated series "Fish Hooks"; shortly before he pitched (and was subsequently green-lit) "Gravity Falls".
 Hirsch says he was at the California Institute of the Arts when he turned down DreamWorks Animation executive Jeffrey Katzenberg out of a desire to work for Disney. He first coined the concept for the show in an 11-minute low-budget student film which he made at the Institute. Hirsch was called in to do a pitch for Disney Channel for a show based on the short pilot. Disney Channel bought the idea and started airing the series in the summer of 2012.


Since 2009, when CEO Kotick launched Call of Duty Endowment (CODE), over 50,000 veterans have been placed in high-quality jobs.

# Call of Duty Endowment Finds Jobs For 50,000 Veterans

The Call of Duty Endowment recently reached a new milestone — it's now helped 50,000 veterans find employment since 2009, "Call of Duty" publisher Activision Blizzard announced in a blog post on Monday.

The Call of Duty Endowment provides grants to charities that prepare veterans for high-quality jobs, according to its website.

It bestows the awards annually to the highest performing nonprofits that meet its benchmarks in effectiveness, efficiency, and integrity.

It also provides advice and support to partners in addition to funding.

Last year, it expanded overseas and now also works with select U.K.-based veterans charities.

When the Endowment was founded, its initial goal was to place 25,000 U.S. veterans in jobs by the end of 2018, but it met that milestone two years early.

So, it upped the goal to 50,000 by 2019.

That number is significant because it's the equivalent of more than half the U.S. Army's annual recruit class, said the Endowment's executive director, Dan Goldenberg.

"Our approach is to marry common sense business practices with philanthropy, which enables us to place vets in jobs at about 1/6 the cost per placement of U.S. Department of Labor efforts," he said.

"We are proud of, and share this achievement with, all of our grantees who have worked tirelessly towards our shared goal."

"The Call of Duty Endowment has exceeded expectations and continues to benefit the lives of veterans and their families, significantly giving back to those who sacrificed for others," said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard and co-founder of the Endowment.

"With U.S. and U.K. veteran unemployment and underemployment challenges persisting, I am thrilled to continue our efforts with an ambitious goal of securing employment for 100,000 veterans by 2024."

The Endowment has awarded more than $28 million in grants to date, and Activision has donated $31million of its own money, the publisher said.

It held a charity livestream called the #CODNATION Challenge this past weekend seeking to raise money for the Endowment.

The event featured 12 popular streamers from the "Call of Duty" community and coincided with the launch of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 4" on Oct. 12.

It raised $118,000 in donations, an Activision Blizzard spokesperson told Variety via email.

The publisher matched that amount, bringing the total raised to $236,000.

Last year, the charity stream raised over $250,000.

Celebration of Walthamstow artists' life marks beginning of a series of events, writes Sophie Dutton

Self-taught artist Madge Gill, born in 1882 in Walthamstow, created thousands of meticulous ink drawings during her lifetime, many of which reflected her obsession with spiritualism.

A disjointed childhood saw her move from Walthamstow to Barkingside and later on to Canada after her family decided they weren't willing to support her and placed her in an orphanage.

Gill remained in Canada until 1900, before moving back to London and becoming a nurse.

A few years later she married her cousin, Tom Gill, and the couple went on to have three sons.

However, the couple had a difficult marriage and suffered a number of tragedies.

Their second son sadly died in 1918 during the influenza pandemic and a year later, Gill gave birth to a stillborn girl.

After this fourth pregnancy, Gill's health quickly deteriorated.

Coming close to death, she was left with multiple issues including losing her left eye.

It was at this time Gill began to create her art, which often resulted in a flurry of seemingly unending drawing activity.

This activity, Gill claimed, was encouraged by a spirit guide she came to embody, called 'Myrninerest'.

Living back in East London, in Newham, Gill instinctively made inspirational, intuitive and beautiful work; drawing in ink and pencil on what she could find and construct, from postcards to a giant 25-foot calico drawing.

She also produced various intricate embroideries as well as various pieces of hand-woven clothing.

Her artwork would often feature a young woman dressed in flowing robes, but never gave any indication of who this haunting figure was – perhaps it was her still-born child, the spirit 'Myrninerest', or even herself.

To commemorate Madge's extraordinary life, a blue plaque will be unveiled at the flat she was born in at 71 Walthamstow High Street, at 4pm, Thursday 8th March.

This marks the beginning of a programme of events taking place between now and 2019.

A blue plaque will be unveiled at the former home of artist Madge Gill this month

After becoming aware of the large quantities of Madge Gill's beautiful work hidden away in Newham's archives, I began developing a project in 2014.

Working as an independent researcher I wanted to find a way to bring them out of the archives and to share Gill's story while engaging with the communities she was originally from.

The project, Works by Madge Gill, plans to reach a wide audience in Walthamstow, Leyton, and Newham.

Waltham Forest Council is supporting the programme with an art development grant and mapping and heritage trail, with art walks around key sites associated with the artist.

We are creating an interactive digital heritage map, freely accessible online, tracing Gill's places of residence, work and séances – telling the story of her life and art through archival photos, videos, reproductions of artworks, and commentary.

This programme will culminate in an exhibition of Madge Gill's inspirational rare textiles and prints in 2019.

Waltham Forest Echo is a not-for-profit newspaper run by and for the community.

If you value local independent media, why not support us by becoming a member?

For £5 per month you'll get your name printed in the paper and each issue delivered to your door.

You can also help shape the future of the Echo!

Madge Gill, like many outsider artists, has continually been gaining fame since her death in 1961. Her work is part of the permanent collection at the Collection de l'Art Brut in Lausanne, Switzerland, one of the central venues for the exhibition and support of outsider art.
 In 2013, admirer David Tibet, himself an outsider artist, published an antiquarian-style book solely devoted to her work, the first of its kind.


The camera was officially announced on July 25, 2017 (the 100th anniversary of Nikon's founding), launched on August 24, 2017, and first shipped on September 08, 2017.

# Nikon D850 is a Salvo Against Sony and Canon

Marcus Chavers·GearPhotography·August 24, 2017

Photographers considering a switch to mirrorless may want to rethink that notion.

The Nikon D850 is official, and for those stateside, the price is shockingly low.

Granted, $3,300 is still expensive for a camera, but most of us figured it'd hit over $4000 based on the specs.

It features a backside illuminated (BSI) full-frame CMOS sensor capable of 45.7 megapixels.

The same sensor is capable of uncropped 4K video (looking at you Canon).

Here's what Nikon has to say about the D850:

"The Nikon D850 is the new benchmark in DSLR image quality, with an unprecedented combination of resolution, dynamic range, ISO and processing power," Nikon says.

"The 45.7-megapixel CMOS sensor approaches medium format-level resolution [

…] This is also Nikon's first DSLR to incorporate a BSI CMOS sensor, which captures light more efficiently, resulting in a wider dynamic range and low-noise image capture."

I want to meet the sound person behind these videos.

ISO range is 64-25600 (expandable to 32-102500).

What about those of us who love to hold the shutter release down?

Without the optional battery grip, it hits seven frames per second.

Add the battery grip with the new EN-EL18a/b battery and frames per second hits nine.

The buffer at 14-bit lossless RAW is capped at 51 shots.

12-bit lossless RAW has a buffer of 170 shots.

Speaking of RAW, the Nikon D850 is capable of three separate sizes: 45.4 megapixels for large photos, 25.6MP for medium photos and 11.4MP for small photos.

The in-camera batch processing is capable of converting a large number of shots.

Powering the new camera is the same EXPEED 5 processor found in the flagship D5.

It doesn't just borrow the same processor; the D850 also grabs the AF system.

It features a 153-point, Multi-Cam 20K AF system that uses 99 cross-type sensors (15 of them are sensitive to f/8).

Those not wanting an optical low pass filter can rest easy.

It's gone from the D850 to maximize sharpness in your photos.

If you need to work silently – weddings, etc. – the Nikon D850 does feature an electronic shutter that operates in complete silence in Live View.

Frames per second hit six in full resolution.

Those feelin' a need for speed can drop down to 8.6MP and hit 30fps.

It's a 3.2-inch, 2.359-million-pixel tilting LCD which boasts the best touch functionality of any Nikon camera to date.

You can easily whip through the menu system with your finger.

Dual card slots rule the day for the D850.

One slot for an XQD card and the other for an SD card.

It should be noted the SD card slot supports UHS-II for faster speeds.

Other notable features include focus-stacking (you can shoot 300 focus bracketed shots for combining later on) and wireless connectivity via WiFi and Bluetooth.

Slow-motion at 120fps is capped at 1080p.

Marcus Chavers·GearPhotography·May 29, 2019

Those wanting the ultimate in timelapse can shoot in 8K/4K.

It lands at your favorite retailer in September.

It's safe to say Nikon managed to have a solid 100th anniversary.

And Nikon's marketing department is quite pleased with itself:

"The Nikon D850 is much more than a camera, rather it's a statement that Nikon is continuing to listen to customer needs, to innovate for the next 100 years, and bring to market a full-frame DSLR that exceeds the expectations of the professionals that rely on this caliber of camera to make a living," says Nikon marketing director Kosuke Kawaura.

Expected ship date on all the sites is September 7th.

While it seemed like Nikon was destined to underwhelm for its 100th anniversary, the D850 does wonders to right the ship.

Now comes the challenge of entering the mirrorless market in 2018.

Sony and the resurgence of Fujifilm are major competitors in the space.

The more camera manufacturers, the better for consumers.

(meta data) TITLE: Long Live Love by Kirk Franklin on Apple Music

(meta data) PUBLISHED DATETIME: 2019-05-31T07:00:00.000Z

#### Get Apple Music on iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows

Whether you discovered Kirk Franklin through his breakthrough "Stomp" in 1997 or Kanye West's "Ultralight Beam" in 2016, the gospel artist's message of the Lord's good word remains timeless.

Long Live Love reminds listeners that love is everywhere.

"We can't have a conversation about God without the foundational truth: He loved you before you knew about Him," Franklin told Apple Music's Ebro Darden.

Franklin continues to push gospel into interesting musical spaces.

"Just for Me" has enticing rimshots and sped-up vocals, perhaps an homage to his pal Ye.

"Spiritual" adds a New Orleans second line, boosting the fun value.

R&B rules the day on "Love Theory," with its hearty chorus and Franklin's testifying.

His stirring messages of overcoming hardship ring especially true in 2019, addressing economic woes and gun violence on "OK."In reference to the album's title and message

, Franklin explained to Ebro that there's no expiration date on God's love.

"I'm just trying to humbly, lovingly communicate, at our best, we're still not our best," he said.

"There is a savior that will love us on our journey that is not wearing a watch, that is not waiting for us to get right quick.

"Long Live Love" is the twelfth studio album from Kirk Franklin.

The latest news and insights from Google on security and safety on the Internet

## Security warnings for suspected state-sponsored attacks

Except when it comes to USGov intrusion, which is where Google makes half its money.

I know you guys have been getting some bad press lately, and as an SEO I can understand why, but I can only compliment you in this move to alert people who are probably going to be hit by trying to be good, no scrub that, outstanding citizens by trying to bring the truth to the masses.

It is hard enough for us to get the message across in the west, in places where state sanctioned violence is commonplace, say Syria for example, then this initiative by Google is invaluable.

It does in my book keep you above Microsoft.

Does this include activity from government actors such as municipal and state police forces?

how about federal agencies (or .gov IP blocks)?

I applaud this warning and would only hope that in cases where evidence is strong enough the state in question is identified to the user.

This is helpful information, we will help spread the word.

Surely this is state-sponsored propaganda?

I'd imagine that the people who are targeted by these attacks will know exactly which state would be interested in hacking into their account.

If you see this warning it does not necessarily mean that your account has been hijacked.

It just means that we believe you may be a target, of phishing or malware for example, and that you should take immediate steps to secure your account.

I got a rather worthless message after the fact (I did have a secondary email registered for such reasons) stating that my account had been compromised and I was alerted that there were current sessions open (in the Eastern block of Europe - I'm in

boggles my mind is that Google's "crack security team" here had really nothing to offer other than "close the sessions" and change the password.

What Google and you are telling the entire world is that Google's security team is lazy; rather than just detect and log the incident, how about block/ignore/redirect brute force requests/logins?

Seriously, you guys want us to trust you with something like Google+ and this is what you have to offer for security?

Wow... Are there enough people wearing white collars and eating Swanson TV dinners to strike the fear nuclear war into everybody?

Since New York Times recently reported that Stuxnet is a US State Sponsored Cyber virus - which if you recall was accidentally released into the wild and affected and attacked innocent end-user machines as collateral damage, and with the ongoing US-Israeli state sponsored cyber warfare weapons of mass destruction (operation Olympic Games) including the more recent Duqu and Flame virus.... can Google clarify if through its detailed analysis as well as victim reports if Google will apply the same standards and warn end-users of these domestic state sponsored attacks as well?

Or are exceptions of convenience made in these cases due to the close and special ties that Google has with the US intelligence agencies and the confirmed but secret and classified collaboration that the Google has with the CIA and NSA in regards to GMail and Google Accounts?

It's from the PRCPeople Republic of China

Google, I'm impressed by you going out on a limb so far.

I applaud this warning and will help spread the word.

Well, you are not being evil, after all.

I THINK THEY ARE TAKING ABOUT CHINESE GOVERNMENT

On a lighter note, hikingfan lives a more interesting life than I figured if he's attracted the attention of state actors.

I believe it should be at a macro level by determining how many users will be affected by same pattern etc.. (using complex methods like geography, type of users, area of attack and so on..)regardswww.diaryfolio.com

I think it's good to warn users of suspicious activities, but my guess is that there also are activities like US surveillance that will not be announced, because of local court orders.

Will Google alert users possibly infected by other types of malware than DNSChanger and not connected with certain .gov-targeted attacks?For example i'm infected with some type of rootkit, which added my PC to botnet.

My AV system doesn't alerts me - do Google system will alert me?

...good step in the right direction, if and only if there would be no bias with respect to the states behind the attacks...

@Adrian: no, I'm pretty certain that this is simply identifying known or likely items within an email that you

receive.@eroei1021: given that Stuxnet, Duqu, Flame do not, to the best of my knowledge, rely on phishing emails as a delivery vector, this would not apply to them.

This entire page requires a premise that states do not act for our good -- but that they instead often act maliciously.

What steps can we take to insure that authorities and majorities are not able to trample on our rights to life, liberty, and property?

"We can't go into the details without giving away information that would be helpful to these bad actors ..." and we would never dream of sharing and technical insights that might help the competition provide you the same level of security as we do, that would affect our bottom line.

Right?Oh, and could you please get one of your writers to pick a dictionary and use a slightly more specific qualifier than 'bad' for the actors?

Sure Google is a young high tech company, but dismissing 2000 years of research into human morality by using such childish language : 'the good guys vs. the bad guys' is way below the level of maturity we've come to expect out of google.

Given that you provide a similar service for detecting improper email access, I'd be concerned.

I've seen a quite definite fail of that service with my mother's GMail account.

Apparently someone was remote accessing her account using an email program (not a browser) to comb her contacts and send spam.

Her account IP log showed the two hits from someone in Mexico, yet the service did not detect, or flag, this irregular IP address.

I am familiar with that light blue framed page from Google Gmail.

It provides a record of IP addresses and approximate locations, at a country level (and for the U.S., at state but not city level) from where one's account was recently accessed.

About a year ago, I received an email from Google Gmail, advising me that there may have been some unusual recent activity on my account.

It was mildly worded, nothing about powers of a foreign nation or such.

Indeed, there was multiple access from 2 different IP's in Iran via IMAP or POP, and 3 from Arizona, via browser.

I have never accessed Gmail from anywhere other than Arizona, so it was a good catch by Gmail.

On the other occasion, I did not receive any warning.

I had just happened to check the same unusual activity link, which often resides at the footer of my Gmail inbox screen, even when all is well.

Reddit offers a similar feature, in fact.

So anyway, I was curious, given the Arizona-and-Iran incident of a few weeks prior.

I was surprised to find a pattern of access, in alternating sequence, at less than 60 minute intervals, between my Arizona IP address and one in Washington State.

Once again, Arizona access was by browser, and the other IP via IMAP.

I tracked the latter to Amazon dot com's legal department.

I never found out why they (or someone using EC2 or AWS perhaps?) would be reading my email.

Nor did Google flag this as unusual activity.

I took screen shots, both times, but have no idea who to send it to.

Or if Google would even consider it pertinent.

I can't imagine why anyone, whether Iran or Amazon dot com, would want to access my boring and inconsequential information.

Well, not by Amazon!@Eric Grosse of Google Security Engineering:

What is the difference is between the IP notification screen that I just alluded (at excessive length) and this new notification?

Yes, I realize that they appear in different places, and have different wording.

But does the Gmail-related anomalous IP message have any relationship to, or is it indicative of, the same problems flagged by this new message

i.e. if I am afflicted by one problem, am I also compromised by the other?

Thank you google for helping us combat these perpetrators.

I saw this security warning the other day and i was baffled to say the least.

It was right after I was looking at home security systems reviews online too.

# Google to warn users of 'state-sponsored attacks'

A Chinese national flag waves in front of the former headquarters of Google China in Beijing.

Google closed the headquarters in 2010 after a series of hacking attacks traced to China.

It has now said it will start flagging suspected state-sponsored attacks to its users.

Google flags censored search words to Chinese users

Newly discovered malware most lethal cyberweapon to date

Creating undetectable computer virus 'surprisingly simple'

Google said Wednesday that it has added a feature to warn users whose accounts it believes are targets of "state-sponsored attacks," but the internet giant did not cite a specific government.

Google Inc. closed its search engine operations in China in 2010 after saying it no longer wanted to co-operate with Beijing's internet censorship following hacking attacks traced to China.

A message that says "Warning: We believe state-sponsored attackers may be trying to compromise your account or computer" will appear onscreen if users are targeted, Eric Grosse, Google's vice-president for security engineering, wrote on a company blog.

Google cannot say how it knows activity is state-sponsored without giving information that would help attackers, Grosse wrote.

But detailed analysis and victim reports "strongly suggest the involvement of states or groups that are state-sponsored," he wrote.

### State hackers target commercial data

A report in November by U.S. intelligence agencies said Chinese and Russian intelligence services and companies with state ties systematically break into U.S. computer systems to steal commercial information.

Western security experts say China's military is a leader in cyberwarfare research.

Beijing has rejected suggestions by Western security experts that its military or government agencies were involved in the Google hacking.

But it has not responded publicly to appeals by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other officials to help investigate hacking attacks.

Google's latest move comes after the company added a feature to its Chinese-language search engine in Hong Kong last week that warns users in China who enter search keywords that might produce blocked results.

It highlights which terms might trigger filters, challenging official Chinese efforts to conceal censorship.

Google's 2010 announcement that it was closing its search engine in China said email accounts of human rights activists critical of China had been hacked.

The company said some of its intellectual property also was stolen in a separate attack that targeted at least 20 other large companies.

Last year, Google said computer hackers in China broke into the personal Gmail accounts of several hundred people, including senior U.S. government officials, military personnel and political activists.

That intrusion was based on less sophisticated trickery used to obtain passwords and other information.

Google has supported secure HTTPS since the day it launched. In the beginning, it was only default on the login page, a reason that Google engineer Ariel Rideout stated was because HTTPS made "your mail slower". However, users could manually switch to secure HTTPS mode inside the inbox after logging in. In July 2008, Google simplified the ability to manually enable secure mode, with a toggle in the settings menu.
 In 2007, Google fixed a cross-site scripting security issue that could let attackers collect information from Gmail contact lists.
 In January 2010, Google began rolling out HTTPS as the default for all users.
 In June 2012, a new security feature was introduced to protect users from state-sponsored attacks.

Monday at 7:30PM is the Season 5 premier of Adventure Time.

It was boarded by myself and Tom Herpich.

Part two was boarded by Cole Sanchez and Rebecca Sugar.

I don't really have anything to say about it, except that I think it hits all the marks.

With Finn and the viewer experiencing an alternate timeline, I thought it would be cool to design some characters that didn't really fit in the Adventure Time world.

That's basically what the Destiny Gang were all about.

The tone is I think, a little bit jarring, so I was worried that viewers would be put off by it.

Not worried enough to not try it obviously.

That's the thing about writing for this show, is that I feel like you have to trust what you're impulses are telling you to do.

Otherwise you get into the trap of doing an impersonation of the show.

So I took a risk by putting the Destiny Gang in there.

Their look was loosely inspired by the Fist of the North Star.

Pretty much, everything I do is loosely inspired by FOTNS.

I saw it when I was 15 and watched it countless times throughout high school.

I could write a big blurb about what makes FOTNS so awesome, but I have to go meet a friend in a few minutes.

The Prismo stuff was pretty much all Cole and Tom.

And Finn going insane was I think all Rebecca.

Whether or not the D Gang have an analog in the Oooverse I can't say, but I've read some really cool meanings gleaned from their name from commenters.

I'm going to guess you're aware by now that it's been leaked?

I loved both parts, though I must point out that Big D doesn't have the crown in his shorts here, like he did in the episode.

Yeah I found out about the leak yesterday.

Also this is a depiction of Big D, before he met Finn.

Sorry about the leak dude, but i think it just confirms the worldwide adventure time obsession.. but .. yeah.. its still illegal.

I may or may not have also watched the leak, and I've gotta say I love Prismo.

Just saw the leak and it was rad as HECK.

It really makes me wonder about Ice King/Simon, are we going to get more back story on him later?

BTW I am totally watching this again with my cousin when it airs on CN tomorrow.

I don't remember who came up with Prismo.

I have a system of sort of ejecting past work from my memory so I can focus on staying fresh in the present.

If Marce and Simon already knew each other before the bomb fell does that mean that in the alternate world Hunson also knew Simon?

The ending was cool but jarring in tha one before this one.

I was wondering, did all the boarders have to have lots of meetings to figure out the whole story arc?

or was a lot of it already written by Pen and writers?

The rough plot was written by Pen and Kent.

We would pitch it to each other to make sure all our ideas were hooking up.

As to the bomb giving birth to the Lich, I can't say

They were gobs creepy, but I knew they were yours, so you did a great job ^_^.

I can always tell when you design something, even when I dont see your name at the beginning.

Even when I hear about leaks, I dont watch them.

I love you guys too much to do that to you ^_^.

Just watched the episode (hooray DVRs), and there was one thing that really struck me: it was DARK as hell for Adventure Time!

It took me a bit off guard, but yeah, definitely hit the right marks.

Just a couple questions, though, if you don't mind.

I just re-saw the King Worm episode the other day, and noticed that "Farmland Finn" appeared in the mirror.

Was that an intentional reference to a (then) future episode?

Or did y'all just decide that it was a cool design and went with it for the alternate timeline?

Secondly, why was Marceline a feeble old woman in the alternate timeline and not an eternal teen?

Ugh. If I hear that damn song one more time

Farmworld Finn in King Worm was intentional foreshadowing.

Marceline was old in the alternate timeline because she was only a half demon and was never turned into a vampire.

Also just letting you know, I don't like the Eagles.

I knew they we some kind of 80's anime homage, but Fist of the North Star totally makes sense to me now.

[quote post="1804″]because she was only a half demon and was never turned into a vampire.[/quote]

Well that just raises further questions lol

watched King Worm to see Farmworld Finn and realized there's that scary scaley ghost chick from The Creeps.

Or just him subconsciously remembering how scary that actually was?

"Life is the result of the struggle between dynamic opposites: form and chaos…"

"The Lich" was written by Tom Herpich and Skyler Page, from a story by Patrick McHale, Kent Osborne, and Pendleton Ward. It was directed by Larry Leichliter. The episode guest stars Lou Ferrigno as the hero Billy, and Ron Perlman as the Lich. Ferrigno had previously appeared in the first season episode "His Hero", and Perlman had previously appeared in the second season entry "Mortal Recoil".
 In the opening scene, Herpich used unicorn symbolism, most notably the tapestry "The Unicorn is in Captivity and No Longer Dead", a piece of the seven-part tapestry "The Hunt of the Unicorn", to illustrate the themes of the episode. According to then-character designer Andy Ristaino, the decision was conscientious, but that "as for the meaning you're just going to have to think about unicorn symbology and how that relates to a specific character in the episode." Later, in the DVD commentary for the fourth season, Herpich revealed that the unicorn is representative of the Lich, because they both have one horn.

On Kawara has made over 2,000 of these paintings since the 1960s, each one completed on the day shown.

And if he fails to finish by the stroke of midnight, he destroys it.

First published on Tue 3 Dec 2002 10.02 EST

One day at a time... just one of over 2,000 'date paintings' produced by the artist

How much time does On Kawara's exhibition at the Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, take?

How much of your time will the show eat up, how long does it last?

You can be out of the gallery in less than half an hour.

One drawing; 37 paintings, each presenting nothing more than a date from 1966 to the near present; two groups of books, 10 volumes each in a pair of vitrines facing each other across an otherwise empty room; a series of tables displaying numerous old telegrams under glass.

Finally, should you choose to leave by the back stairs, you will hear a man and a woman alternately reciting numbers.

It took 30 years to walk down that staircase as the voices counted from 375 to 405AD.

They were reading from the books in the vitrines, which contain nothing more than columns of dates - One Million Years (past), working backwards from 1969, and One Million Years (future), counting forwards from 1980.

Tempus fugit, I said to myself, ars longa, or something like it.

Life is short but sometimes it seems to go on for a very long time.

Each of On Kawara's "date paintings" was completed on the date shown, the painting's sole image.

Collectively they're called Todays, and the artist has made over 2,000 since the 1960s.

Should he fail to finish a painting by the stroke of midnight, he destroys it.

You imagine his failures to make the deadline - an unexpected visitor, the artist was struck down with sudden toothache, time ran out.

The paintings here were all made on Sundays.

That is not the only day of the week the artist paints, but the qualification gave him the rubric for this selection.

Perhaps, as you read this, somewhere in the world On Kawara is making a date painting.

If he is in the US, the date will begin with the name of the month, in English, followed by the day and year.

If he is painting in Europe, the day will precede the month.

The abbreviated name of the month will be recorded in the language of the country he happens to be in.

If the country doesn't use Roman script - in Japan, say, or Russia - he will write the name of the month in Esperanto.

He invents rules for himself, self-imposed limits.

There are four or five coats of the same brand of paint on each canvas.

The paint goes round the edge of the stretcher.

The lettering is hand-painted with calculated precision and anonymity.

It is always in crisp, white lettering and occupies pretty much the same proportion of each canvas, though the canvases themselves are not always the same size, nor quite the same colour.

Some days are greyer, some more brown or a shade darker or bluer than others.

Every day has its individual timbre, though at first they seem alike.

That's how the days go, as reticent as the way he paints them.

January 30, 1966 had a blue, expansive feel.

On Aug. 23, 1998, On Kawara made two small, identical paintings.

There are French Sundays in Fevrier, red days in March.

The paintings are not so much self-effacing as unrelieving.

For many years, On Kawara always placed a page from the day's newspaper in the plain cardboard box in which each painting is stored.

For some reason, he no longer does this.

Perhaps for him the day's events make us read too much into the painting (although, like the kidnapper's photo of the prisoner holding aloft the newspaper, it is proof that some sort of hope remains).

Is there a painting dated Sept. 11, 2001?

Did On Kawara get up that morning in New York, where he has lived for many years, take up a canvas and start brushing on the first layer before the day went wrong?

Lately, On Kawara has lent date paintings to kindergartens and schools in Iceland, Australia and the Ivory Coast, where they hang in classrooms, bearing dates that fall within the lifespans of the children.

He calls these small poetic interventions "pure consciousness".

On the day I write this, On Kawara will have been alive for 25,546 days.

He is around 70 years old (the leap years trip me up) and counts the days.

Does he also count the cigarettes, the dinners out, the aeroplane trips and laundry tickets?

For a long time he made a map of his daily walks and cab rides.

He sent telegrams to friends and colleagues around the world, telling them he was still alive, "I am still alive - On Kawara", and for some years he also sent out postcards from wherever he was, each rubber-stamped with a message detailing his temporary address and the time he got up.

Then someone stole the rubber stamp, so he stopped.

Telegrams have largely disappeared too, thanks to the fax and email, so On Kawara sends far fewer than he used to.

The "I am still alive" telegrams are valuable now.

Here they are, addressed to famous curators, artists, dealers.

There are variations: "I am not going to commit suicide don't worry", "I am not going to commit suicide worry", and "I am going to sleep forget it".

On Kawara's work is a matter of life and death, a question of survival.

Never agreeing to interviews, shunning photographers, always absent from his private views, he too seems to exist as pure consciousness, recording his persistence.

He is like one of those peculiar, driven characters in a Paul Auster story, except On Kawara deserves a better fate than to be memorialised in Auster's overrated fiction.

On Kawara creates his own memorial every day, in the eloquent silences of his works.

He exists, and his art is the proof of it.

There are no remembrances of time past in On Kawara's work - or is that, precisely, all there is?

When he was a teenager in Tokyo, the bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

He stopped, by his own account, being a diligent student.

His early works, from his late teens and early 20s, were images of prisons and cold, detailed drawings of amputees in sealed bathrooms.

Legless, pregnant women, bits of bodies, smears and slugs crawling the tiles.

Much of his early work he destroyed; these he left behind.

He travelled, learned Spanish and French, immersed himself in Sartre and Camus.

He became, I suppose, what is called a conceptual artist, but his art is, in every sense, singular.

You'll get it or you won't, be captivated or moved or not.

Perhaps you'll be bored and feel the show's a waste of time.

It will or will not get under your skin.

Where will you be when you think of it later, and for how long will you turn it over in your head?

When On Kawara wakes up, does he think one day more or one day less?

Nor do we know, at this moment, if On Kawara is still alive.

However, dealing with poor fundraising figures since his filing, Huerta dropped out of the race a week before the filing deadline, leaving Democrats without a challenger in the district.

# Emilio Huerta drops out of congressional race against David Valadao | The Fresno Bee

### Emilio Huerta drops out of congressional race against David Valadao

Democrat Emilio Huerta has decided not to run against Rep. David Valadao, R-Hanford, in 2018.

Emilio Huerta, a Bakersfield attorney and the son of civil rights legend Dolores Huerta, is ending his campaign to replace Rep. David Valadao, R-Hanford, in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Huerta shared his decision in an op-ed submitted to The Bee, in which he said he would instead focus on helping other Democrats win election to various levels of government office.

At attempt Friday to reach Huerta by phone was not successful.

UPDATE: Update: Reports indicate T.J. Cox will be leaving the California District 10 race to run against David Valadao in District 21.

This would have been Huerta's second try at unseating Valadao.

In 2016, Valadao beat Huerta by 13 percentage points in a district that favored former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over President Donald Trump by nearly 16 points.

Huerta's campaign raised about $100,000 in 2017, while Valadao ended the year with about $1 million on hand.

"Emilio Huerta and his family have made immense contributions to the Central Valley and our country as a whole," said Rep. Ben Ray Lujan, the New Mexico congressman who chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC).

"Every hardworking Californian owes them a debt of gratitude for their advocacy on behalf of families, children and our progressive values nationwide."

The DCCC declined to comment on who, if anyone, will be running in Huerta's place.

The Democrats have targeted Valadao's 21st District for years, as the poor, predominantly Latino district leans heavily to the left.

As of January, nearly 47 percent of the district's registered voters are Democrats, while just over 28 percent are Republicans.

Despite the clear demographic hurdle, Valadao – a Spanish-speaking dairy farmer and the son of Portuguese immigrants from the Azores Islands – has soundly beaten Democratic challengers in three elections.

In 2014, Amanda Renteria – who recently announced a bid for California governor – brought national money and big names to her attempt to best Valadao, who then beat her by 16 points.

In 2012, Valadao defeated former Central California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President John Hernandez by more than 15 points.

Valadao has remained popular over the years by sometimes bucking party politics in favor of local issues.

He authored the Gaining Responsibility on Water Act of 2017, which would allow water to move more freely among various government agencies in California.

The House passed the bill in July, and it's now under consideration in the Senate.

Valadao was also among the first Republicans to support a Democratic effort to pass a DREAM (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) Act in 2017.

The focus now shifts onto who the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will insert into the race before Friday's filing deadline.

Another Valley race for the 10th District, currently held by Turlock Republican Jeff Denham, has about a dozen Democratic challengers, while the race in Rep. Devin Nunes' neighboring district has four.

Many of these candidates would have some sort of Valley tie to the 22nd District that may give the eventual challenger a defense against being considered an outsider by voters.

2018 California's 21st congressional district election

Valadao, the incumbent, declared his candidacy for the election on February 23rd, 2017. As a Republican-held district Clinton won in 2016, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee included this district in its initial list of 2018 targets. Emilio Huerta, Valadao's challenger in 2016, originally intended to challenge Valadao again in the 2018 election.

He was followed as secretary by George Davy Kelley, full-time secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Lithographic Printers and a member of the General Council of the Manchester Liberal Association. Kelley helped to greatly increase affiliations to the council. Many of the new affiliations were general unions of unskilled workers, a development which Kelley opposed as he felt the organisations would not endure, but they soon came to dominate the council. Despite this, Kelley remained the council's most prominent figure, being elected to Manchester City Council in 1891 as a Liberal-Labour representative.
 In 1902, the council convened a meeting of local trade unionists and members of the Independent Labour Party and Social Democratic Federation, which renamed the council as the Manchester Trades and Labour Council, becoming the local affiliate of the Labour Representation Committee.  Two years later, Kelley broke his links with the Liberals, and in 1906 he was elected as a Labour Member of Parliament, standing down from his trades council posts.
 In the 1920s, the council affiliated to the Communist Party of Great Britain-led National Minority Movement.  Although the Labour Party set up its own Manchester Borough organisation, the council continued to campaign on a wide range of labour issues, remaining the leading labour movement organisation in the city into the 1930s, and attracted the support of John Maynard Keynes for its proposals on local industrial policy.


The rolling stock of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system's heavy rail component consists of 662 self-propelled electric multiple units, built from three separate orders.

(meta data) TITLE: Long wait ahead for longer BART trains – SFBay

# Long wait ahead for longer BART trains

Have you ever been sandwiched during a commute on BART and asked yourself, why doesn't BART run longer trains?

Well, BART officials have an answer for you.

It's because the transit agency does not have enough train cars.

In an infographic titled "Why Aren't There more 10-Car Trains?" BART explains it has total of 662 trains, but about 535 are in service during peak commute times, about 86.5 percent of its fleet.

BART said it runs more of its fleet than any other major transit agency despite having the oldest trains in the nation.

As for the other 127 trains, BART has 38 trains on standby during peak commute times and holds 89 trains out of service for repairs.

Out of the 89 trains out for maintenance work, about half are out of for unscheduled repairs while another 20 trains are scheduled for routine maintenance.

An additional 19 trains are undergoing rehab work and another 10 trains are getting truck work done, which includes the motor, axle and suspension.

New trains will starting arriving in December 2016.

The transit agency ordered 775 trains, but has a goal to increase the fleet to 1,000 trains, which will boost its fleet by 50 percent.

Until then, hold on tight and make room for everyone.

In 1975, after he has completed the construction of the first hotel and casino at Genting Highlands Resort, Genting founder Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong decided that he would build Chin Swee Caves Temple.

The late Tan Sri Lim began by gathering a group of friends to form the Chin Swee Temple Society.

Many of the founding members were of the Anxi Clan and from his ancestry village of Penglai.

Always leading by example, the late Tan Sri Lim led a donation drive and contributed a 28-acre land for the construction of the temple.

His companies, Resorts World Berhad and Genting Berhad, also made a cash donation of RM8.1 million towards the building fund.

The late Tan Sri Lim was elected chairman of the society and his son, Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, was appointed its deputy chairman.

With the same tenacity that he demonstrated to build Genting Highlands Resort, the late Tan Sri Lim took on the roles of the planner, architect, designer, contractor and supervisor in the construction of the temple.

The steep and rocky terrain made the construction process arduous and dangerous, and it was impossible to utilise modern machinery for fundamental work, such as piling.

Manual labour was deployed and 18 years were spent to complete the construction.

The Chin Swee Caves Temple was officially open on 29 March 1994.

After completing the building of Genting Highlands Resort in 1975, which at that time was just a hotel with a small casino, Lim Goh Tong began construction of the temple.

Always leading by example, the late Lim began a donation drive by contributing a 28-acre land for the construction of the temple.
