Social Engineering Attacks: 3 Strategies To Mitigate Risk
December 12, 2022 December 12, 2022 tech 0 Comments Social Engineering Attacks: 3 Strategies To Mitigate Risk
In 2021, phishing and similar fraud was the most common type of cybercrime reported to the U.S. Internet Crime Complaint Center, with 324,000 individuals affected.
Phishing comes in many forms — email phishing, spear phishing and business email compromise (BEC). Once targeted, successful phishing attempts can trick users into revealing important data and downloading malware, which can lead to ransomware and other malicious cyber activities.
When planning these attacks, assailants are looking for the biggest return for their lowest investment. Social engineering attack attempts use authorization, intimidation, consensus, scarcity and urgency to entice the victim to achieve the adversary's goals.
Since the internet's inception, cybercriminals have had the ability to communicate with anyone that they want and achieve attack targets very easily. The best ways for cybersecurity and other IT leaders to protect their enterprises from falling victim to targeted social engineering attacks — which can prove detrimental to business — are:
Educating and training personnel on identifying phishing attempts and how to respond to them.
Installing anti-phishing software that can automatically detect and flag these threats.
Leveraging a browser security solution that analyzes web page structure and behavior to identify potential threats.
Let's discuss each of these more in-depth:
1. Personnel Education and Training
The first step in protecting a company from social engineering threats is being able to identify and effectively manage them. So, raising employee awareness around what a phishing attempt can look like and what users should do when faced with one is crucial in protecting the enterprise should anti-phishing software and other safeguards not effectively keep threats at bay. (Also read: The Human Factor of Cybersecurity: What's Putting You At Risk.)
Organizations can do this by constantly educating employees, validating their knowledge and encouraging vigilance within their workforce. Occasionally sending out a fake phishing email to test employee knowledge can also be very helpful in the training process.
In addition to being informed on what to do when facing a phishing attempt, users should also be well aware of what not to do. Telltale signs of phishing attempts that users should always be careful of and know to not fall for include:
Shortened and error-filled URLs.
Unsecured HTTP websites.
Webpages with broken images and links.
Suspicious emails requesting sensitive information or not following overall protocol.
2. Anti-Phishing Software
Anti-phishing software should also be implemented across an organization's IT ecosystem to prevent social engineering attacks.
Sites that share lists of known phishing sites can be extremely helpful, but anti-phishing software should not be based on lists of known phishing sites. That's because, unfortunately, these sites change frequently and there will always be patient zero. Unless the software knows which sites are phishing sites and which are not, it will unnecessarily restrict access to more websites, ultimately slowing down employee productivity.
Some anti-phishing operating systems are likely to miss on real attacks but alert on activity that is completely benign. The right anti-phishing software will intercept emails and scan them for any potentially harmful material before passing them on to inboxes. It can also prevent unauthorized spoofing by adding extra layers of protection to a user's signature so cybercriminals cannot imitate the domain name. Additionally, anti-phishing software is able to block malicious URLs in real time by analyzing and blocking before they reach the user. (Also read: How to Keep from Getting Phished.)
3. Browser Security Solutions
Ultimate protection from phishing and other social engineering attacks comes from securing the browser in its entirety. Proper solutions prevent attacks before it's too late and protect against all attacks, not just phishing. Robust browser security solutions should analyze runtime telemetry while being completely independent and not relying on other third-party feeds to enforce compliance.
Browser security solutions need to have the ability to prevent all browser attacks, including exploitation, social engineering attacks and web application vulnerabilities. They must also be able to prevent policy infringements performed by users. Because an enterprise's level of security is defined by the weakest spot in its multi-layer defense, the browser must be the strongest point in the organizational supply chain. (Also read: Insider Threat Awareness: Avoiding Internal Security Breaches.)
Unfortunately, phishing and other social engineering attacks are increasing at an alarming rate: The volume of phishing sites has already increased by 4.4% in the first few months of 2022. There were 1,025,968 phishing attacks, making Q1 of 2022 the worst quarter for phishing observed to date. Phishing can be an easy "in" for cybercriminals to deploy malware, ransomware or other forms of malicious code and take down an organization quickly.
To prevent these attacks and ensure business operations remain consistent while valuable data is protected, social engineering and prevention must be top-of-mind. Educating employees on phishing signs, prevention and response tips, as well as stressing the importance of phishing knowledge, are crucial first steps in securing an organization. Additionally, implementing anti-phishing software and all-encompassing browser security solutions that detect threats in real time and prevent sensitive data leakage and user credential theft should be a top priority for enterprises. By identifying actions that can only be pinpointed from within the browser, these robust solutions will ensure organizations' safety from targeted social engineering attacks.
There is no tool or deep level of education that can fully prevent a user from clicking a malicious link as a result of human error. That said, with the right understanding of social engineering attacks and acknowledging that true protection from web attacks comes from securing the browser, users can be more secure from phishing consequences.

Chapter 1277 Just Want The Babies
Vengeful Girl with Her CEO By Mei Jiao Characters: 3094
"Can you stop pushing me? Father, I beg you. This is my business. If Patricia hadn't done something evil to Mamie, why would I have treated her like that? I want to listen to you, but that woman went too far. Do you know that?"
Devin rattled his thoughts off in one breath. He was really fed up with Patricia and couldn't stand how aggressive she had been to Mamie.
"Tell me what she did to that woman that was so evil. She merely slapped her a few times. And she shaved her head, right?"
Lenny already knew about those things, and he wholeheartedly approved.
Patricia had punished Mamie in front of the butler's eyes, so her actions hadn't escaped Lenny's attention.
The butler had reported to Lenny about everything that had happened.
"She didn't just shave Mamie's head, but she also put something on her head so that she would be hairless forever. What do you have to say about that? How can such an evil w

Canada's largest journalism union launches an official campaign against Erin O'Toole
Watch full-length, in-depth, TV-style shows from your favorite Rebel reporters

So Unifor, which is Canada's largest union, which is also Canada's largest media union, has come out with an attack ad against Erin O'Toole.
It's pretty weird, to have news reporters pay for an ad, out of their union dues, to take sides in an election.
MEDIA RELEASE: Unifor launches TV ad cautioning Canadians against voting for @erinotoole Meet the 2021 O'Toole: New Name. Same old Conservative. https://t.co/oyadjXRybi #canpoli pic.twitter.com/jDPAFGUUcX
— Unifor (@UniforTheUnion) August 2, 2021
Look, I don't have a lot of time for Erin O'Toole. He's pro-carbon tax, pro-lockdown for citizens but also pro-open borders for immigration, he's pro-CBC and pro-censorship.
But back to the ad. It seems silly and too clever by half. The whole meme — a truck that's falling apart — it feels like some ad agency guy came up with an idea to impress his friends. I'm just not sure it's going to resonate or be effective.
I think it's just for Unifor, and the bail-out journalists who work for it, to signal to Trudeau that they're on his side, and that Trudeau should keep showering them with money.
In a way, it's like everything Unifor journalists do — it's not for their readers or viewers; it's for one viewer, who pays them.
That Unifor ad against Erin O'Toole is a bit anti-western and anti-working class. No surprise there. It's designed to appeal to eastern Canadian prejudices against western and conservative things, even though Erin O'Toole is actually neither.
But my main beef with it is: it was bought and paid for by the activists and donors who go on TV and say with a straight face that they're reporters, calling it like they see it, they're neutral, they're unbiased, and that we here are Rebel News are the partisan ones.
What a laugh.
No wonder so few Canadians trust the media anymore.

Yes to this. Not just printed but as a supplement in-game (for example as in station décor). Dock in a NPC Faction station and be treated to holographic placards of their most esteemed ships of the line.
More of this, please !
How long will these depictions be accurate?
It seems there is constant ship redesign going on while past issues and bugs remain. This troubles me some.
I would like the ability to toggle off selected elements of the UI so I can actually see the beauty of EvEs ships.
EvE looks amazing but its hidden behind a bloated UI. You have the beta program.. why not give us a minimal UI option ?
It occurred to me while I was looking at the EvE website.. You have 0 screenshots of the game, in fact the only gameplay shots you have is the ''This is EvE'' video which is shown with the UI off.
You want new player retention... fix the UI.
Then new players can actually see the beauty of EVE and not spreadsheets and red xs. And they might not leave after 1 week.
Eve should be playable with just the overview and a nice picture in picture showing what you are firing at. Everything else should be toggle on/off.
Very nice! I so much agree with everything stated right here.

Bristol Landfill: Officials look for new options
Developer submits application to build residential complex at The Falls in Bristol, Va.
by: Murry Lee
Posted: Jun 21, 2021 / 07:07 AM EDT / Updated: Jun 21, 2021 / 10:51 AM EDT
BRISTOL, Va. (WJHL) – A developer based in Alabama has submitted an application for approval to build a multi-family residential complex at The Falls in Bristol, Virginia.
According to an agenda from the Bristol Virginia Planning Commission, "Falls Development LLC has submitted an application for a Special Use Permit so they can construct multi-family residential in a B-3 zoning district."
The agenda states that the developer is hoping to get approval to build the complex at the Falls Development between Falls Boulevard and Merchant Trace. The property in question is about ten acres and is vacant.
Images provided in a staff report attached to the planning commission's agenda show the property is close to Hobby Lobby and Aldi at The Falls.
According to the commission agenda for Monday, June 21, the complex could be built by the developer with a special use permit, so long as it is built to the density and yard requirements of an "R-3 zoning district."
The developer is not seeking to rezone the district, but in order to construct the complex, the special use permit must be granted.
Falls Development LLC is seeking permission to build "six apartment buildings with 180 total units on 8.85 acres and a retail business on the remaining 1.15 acres," according to the agenda.
The residences would be a blend of 1-3 bedroom units with each building being near identical. The agenda did not state what sort of retail business was planned for the property.
Photo: City of Bristol, Virginia
A project description in the staff report states a common green area would also be built in the complex and would feature a "playground and amenities area." 369 parking spaces at the site have been proposed along with bike racks at each building.
The Bristol Virginia City County must grant the special use permit after receiving either a positive or negative recommendation from the planning commission after a join public hearing. That public hearing has been planned for July 13, according to the commission's agenda.
The planning commission is set to discuss the possibility of recommending the permit at noon on Monday. However, the item is not on the city council's agenda for its Tuesday, June 22 scheduled meeting.
Falls Development LLC is a division of Blackwater Resources, a developer headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama.
Other local projects developed by Blackwater Resources include the Johnson City Center, which features a Hobby Lobby, At Home and Guitar Center.

RICHMOND, Va. (WJHL) - On Thursday, Virginia Senator Todd Pillion and Deputy Majority Leader Delegate Israel O'Quinn laid out their plan to continue addressing the Bristol, Virginia Landfill issue.
According to the release, officials have introduced a budget amendment that will give the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality the proper tools to implement a long-term plan and immediate access to engage in emergency assistance to the landfill.


I can't believe Warren, canonically, recommends the movie Timecop to Max with only the comment of "Jean Claude Van Damme does the splits on a kitchen counter in his underwear.

The trend in the Netherlands that more and more used yachts are being sold abroad continues. In the first quarter of 2017, 30% of the sailing yachts sold left the country. Of the power yachts, about 24% goes abroad. Belgium, Germany and England receive the largest numbers of sold Dutch yachts. This is reported by yacht brokers who are affiliated with HISWA Association and/or NBMS.
In the first quarter of 2017, the yacht brokers see a flattening sales growth. Marcel Borgmann, Chairman of HISWA Yacht Brokers: "The reason for a flattening total revenue of sales may be that the supply of 'new' used yachts for sale becomes thighter in the Netherlands.
The average sales period for cabin yachts is 11 months, open boats are about 8 months on display. "Furthermore, boats are more often sold to new first owners. Whether this is a trend or not is still to be seen," Borgmann said.
The data for this research have been collected on the NLyachts.com website, a joint initiative of certified yacht brokers who are affiliated with HISWA Association and/ or NBMS.


This part originally began as Part Two of the series, but somehow it dragged as I was writing it and so ended up being last. This must tell us something. Most probably that I don't personally find this part of the subject particularly interesting or relevant to my life and practice, even though plenty of other people seemingly do. Hatha Yoga as a way of raising kundalini, aligning chakras and so and so forth.
There is a certain tendency among gullible western yoga students of New Age tendencies to note and remember little bits of Patanjali and lots of the stuff about kundalini, chakras and the subtle body in mediaeval tantric yoga texts like the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, and not notice or care that those two bodies of learning represent quite different and to some degree contradictory perspectives. It is in the mediaeval tantric stuff that we find discussion of esoteric concepts like chakras and kundalini.
Patanjali is all about quite systematically analysing and learning to control one's mental processes in order to learn that they are not Who You Are. Tantric hatha yoga was first documented much later – the Hatha Yoga Pradipika dates from about two thousand years after Patanjali. Those later texts may be documenting oral traditions that were already ancient when they were first written down, that go back to Patanjali's time or even before. Or not. We may never know. And no matter how old, they are from a quite different tradition that is about quite different things than Patanjali.
Patanjali may have been aware of some of that stuff, but doesn't appear to have regarded it as very interesting or important. In fact, he goes out of his way to warn us, at considerable length by his standards, that siddhis – supernatural powers or unusual abilities derived from the practice of yoga – are not what it's all about at all. I have the impression that the authors of the mediaeval tantric texts seem to have somewhat overlooked that part. I'm not an expert, but I've heard Pattabhi Jois, who is, talk pretty dismissively about the Hatha Yoga Pradipika.
I don't take it literally at all. That is, I don't doubt that real, repeatable phenomena are being described by these texts; there are too many consistent descriptions of them, from too many independent sources, for that not to be the case. But I tend towards a sceptical/scientific/materialist view of them – not with a closed mind, I hope, but one that applies Occam's razor and says: show me conclusively that these things can't be satisfactorily explained as ordinary physical, physiological, neurological phenomena, then I'll be ready to consider other hypotheses. I thought for a long time the standard explanations in old yogic texts of how and why these phenomena work were metaphorical or just downright wrong. Kundalini as the phlogiston of metaphysics.
While the original writers probably had a first person experience of what they were talking about that conformed to the basic laws of physics, all the baggage that has been attached because of misunderstanding has obscured the real knowledge to the point of fantasy.
Then I had some experiences, then I read a book.
Last summer I was working quite intensively on my backbending. I have a very stiff upper back, caused by … whatever. Rock climbing, desk job, unresolved emotional issues … it doesn't matter. I have it. And when I started seriously trying to stop having it, one of the things that happened after a few weeks was that I started to feel little sharp tingles, like tiny electric shocks, between my shoulder blades. I put this down to nerve endings starting to get signals in places where nothing had moved for years, or something like that. Until one warm summer afternoon when I had just finished working on my backbends on the hill in my local park, and I got a huge jolt right in the mula bandha.
Something else I learned in the last year, starting in some classes I took with Mark Whitwell: how, by chanting or doing breathing exercises whilst directing attention to the seven main chakras in turn, working up from the root chakra at the base of the spine to the crown of the head, to quite quickly get into states of deep inward focus – pratyahara – in which I feel a sense of great calm and contentment. This is nice. But does it mean I'm tapping into some kind of specal energy via my chakras, or are they just serving as a convenient focus for meditation in the same way that yoga asanas (see Part Three) also can? Different focus points can quite obviously have different effects – even for me with my limited experience, chakra-plus-breath meditation is different from breath alone, and very different indeed from heartbeat.
These techniques are real and powerful. But does learning to generate weird electrical impulses in your body or pleasant mental states have anything to do with actually becoming enlightened? Not as such directly, if we want to take Patanjali's opinions on the matter seriously. At most we can take as a sign that we've learned enough mental and physical control to be able to direct and focus our attention in a certain way for a certain amount of time. Directed and focused attention is the useful skill that's actually being learned here, not the coincidental and arbitrary things that we choose to use as the objects of our attention and focus when we're practicing.
That was the state of my thinking/experience/understanding up to a few weeks ago, when I discovered the blog of science fiction writer, martial artist and all-round interesting thinker Steven Barnes. He has an interesting idea about the chakras corresponding to aspects of human psychology, similar to Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs - the root chakra to physical survival etc. Also worth thinking about.
(*) I note here, without necessarily expressing a conclusion either way, that this would appear to go against a general medical/physiological consensus that stretching connective tissue is unhealthy and dangerous as it can lead to over-flexibility and unstable joints. Something some very flexible yoga practitioners would do well to think about. The ashtanga vinyasa series are good here, since you can't get by without being both adequately flexible and strong. I've seen very flexible students cruise through primary series and the beginning of intermediate, only to falter in a big way towards the end of intermediate where serious strength starts to be required.

  I just wanted to thank everyone for their inspired burrito suggestions.  I
  will try them all!  Until then, I have come up with a surprisingly
  delicious no-brainer - the naked burrito. Yes, it's a burrito without a
  tortilla.

  1. Dump cooked brown rice in a bowl.

  2. Top with beans of choice (heated pinto, black, or ff refried, canned
  OK).

  3. Spoon on a dollop or two of salsa (this is the ingredient that will make
  or break the dish, so go for something really good).

  4. Top with shredded vegies and condiments of choice (shredded lettuce,
  tomatoes, and onions are a must, but after that, there are no rules.
  Steamed assorted vegies, ff cheese and/or yogurt, etc)

  Enjoy!  This meal is fast, delicious, colorful, and will satisfy most
  burrito cravings.  btw, I made an amazing discovery I'm sure I've mentioned
  before, but it's worth saying again: Safeway's "Southwest Salsa" (bottled)
  is the best prepared salsa I've ever tried. I am a real snob about jarred
  salsa, usually preferring to make my own. But I love this stuff! If you
  haven't tried it, do. It's good. The Medium level of hotness is just
  perfect in my opinion.

Ammunition Packaging and Containers
What type of ammo boxes or tins were used by the Airborne Forces in 1944?
Thread: What type of ammo boxes or tins were used by the Airborne Forces in 1944?

New here. As I couldn`t find anything in the other topics....
What kind of ammo boxes or ammo tins were used by the British Airborne in 1944? For .303 and 9mm?
So far we have been using the H51 ammo boxes for Living History. But recently someone told us they weren`t in use in september `44.
Could someone please point me (us) in the right direction, please?

What was known as a 'Universal SAA Package' was introduced late in the war. This comprised an outer steel container (Box Steel H50), containing 2 x wooden inner packages (H51), each containing a tin/terne plate inner with a soldered lid (H52). These were produced to meet a requirement for jungle and tropic zones, notably Burma.
They were initially made to contain basic infantry ammunition. Cartridges .303 Ball in bandoliers or cartons, cloth belted .303 for Vickers MG, 7.92mm BESA belts and 9mm in cartons.
Until that time all small arms ammunition was packed in a variety of natural wood boxes, in many cases specific to one calibre of SAA ammunition. These had no internal liner and would be quite flimsy for airdrop. I cannot say whether any were syphoned off for use by airborne forces, but there was a need for a package with an outer like the H50 to stop monsoon rain soaking into packages and to allow water to drain out.
There was no need to repackage .45 Thompson or .50 MG because it was packaged in the admirable US M2 and M3 packages, which were the basis of the British H82 and H83 package, which eventually followed the the H50 in the 1960s.
H50s are still around, but may be getting scarce because they make excellent toolboxes.

The Following User Says Thank You to LCplCombat For This Useful Post:
AE501 (16th March 2019)
I see there is no Box Wood H7 in the list.
This was used for packaging Cartridges .303" Incendiary as carried in the H13, for air service use.
It also contained .303 Armour Piercing and .303" Tracer, also for air service use.
In all cases it contained 768 Incendiary rounds in 16 cartons of 48. The Incendiary pack weighed 52lbs, the AP 55lbs and the Tracer 53lbs.
Unfortunately I have no photos, drawings or other package information.
This information comes from the Ammunition Handbook for the RASC 1936 (as amended), who were responsible for the movement of all ammunition until the formation of the Royal Corps of Transport, at which time this responsibility was taken over by the Royal Army Ordnance Corps.
These are my sources for the consolidated lists.
Regulations for Army Ordnance Services Part II Pamphlet No. 8 Instructions to guide the operations of securing, sealing and opening lids of ammunition packages (31st January 1934)
Regulations for Army Ordnance Services Part 6 Supply of Ammunition in the Field (8th August 1944)
Regulations for Army Ordnance Services Part 7 Pamphlet No. 1 An Introductory Survey of Ammunition (17th June 1944)
Regulations for Army Ordnance Services Part 7 Pamphlet No. 11 Small Arms Ammunition (24th February 1945)
Regulations for Army Ordnance Services Volume 2 War Pamphlet 10 (12th September 1951)
RAOS Vol 2 Pam 10 1951
The main source being
Royal Army Ordnance Corps Statistics Pamphlet No. 2 Weights and Measurements of Explosives (21st June 1943)
How large is the list of stuff in your RASC pub?
H7 might have been withdrawn by the time my sources were published
As I pointed out the responsibility for ammunition movement at that time was the RASC.
All the Box Wood H7 SAA was for the air service and would not necessarily appear in any RAOS publication if it was dedicated for air services only, which in this case it was. There are several other boxes for land service covering all these natures and types which you have covered. These are also listed.
This particular part of the book was dated April 1940 and is purely for the benefit of RASC drivers. It only deals with what they need to know to identify that they have got the right ammunition and to get it from points A to B.
It does not say how many packages you can get into a 21 piece IG shelter, or other non movements related tasks, because this was the job of what were then Storemen Ammunition RAOC.
As this site deals with all services not just land service and umpteen other nations, in the unlikely event that anyone should ever find one of these packages, it would help to know what it was for.

First, thanks to LCPL COMBAT and AE501 for all they have contributed to this site, and specifically my knowledge of UK boxes. With my still very limited knowledge, and the info posted by the above individuals, I want to ask if that shouldn't be, ....Box Wood A.S.A H7... as per other UK boxes of the same approximate time?
Yes it should be, I was just being lazy because it was designed purely for use with SAA.

I would have thought H13 for .303 and H 29 for 9mm

[Blu-Ray Review] 'Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures: Complete Season One': Now Available On Blu-ray & DVD From Disney – Lucasfilm
December 8, 2016 · by Kevin Lovell	· in Cartoons, Reviews, TV, TV Reviews.	·
Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures: Complete Season One [Blu-Ray]
Cast: Vanessa Lengies, Grey DeLisle, Nicolas Cantu (VOICES)
A Review By: Kevin Lovell
Disc Rating: 6/10
The adventure begins after the events of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and before RETURN OF THE JEDI and follows a family of scavengers who build and sell starships from battle debris strewn throughout the galaxy. When their youngest discovers a natural connection with the Force through an ancient artifact — the Kyber Saber — his world is turned upside down, and he and his family are thrown into an epic struggle against the Empire to restore peace and freedom to the galaxy. The Freemakers explore new worlds, meet new and familiar characters and learn the meaning of family. Relive all 13 action-packed episodes in LEGO STAR WARS: THE FREEMAKER ADVENTURES SEASON ONE.
Get ready for some family friendly, animated fun in a galaxy far, far away with the latest 'Lego Star Wars' adventure 'The Freemaker Adventures'. This new Lego animated series (consisting of standard episodes running approximately 23 minutes apiece) takes place between the events of 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Return of the Jedi' and follows the Freemakers, a family team of siblings operating as scavengers. Upon discovering that their younger brother has force abilities, in addition to a unique power to sense crystals which together form an ultimate Jedi weapon and have been spread throughout the galaxy, their lives are drastically changed as they begin to hunt down the crystals required to form the weapon; a weapon the Emperor himself is keen to possess by any means necessary, such as pulling strings to use the boy's keen power for his own benefit. Now the relatively honest and hardworking Freemaker family begins to make some new allies and enemies throughout the galaxy as a barrage of adventures across countless worlds begins attracting some unwanted, yet unavoidable attention.
'Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures' constructs a generally light hearted and family friendly animated adventure that should be clean and calm enough for most younger viewers, while also building an enthralling, ongoing storyline throughout its course that will have no trouble keeping the older viewers glued to the screen as well. By placing itself in the timeline between episodes V & VI (The Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi) it allows the series the opportunity to introduce viewers to some new and interesting characters we've never had the pleasure of previously, in addition to featuring guest and recurring appearances by many of the franchise's most notable characters, particularly Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader who are both frequent players in the series, albeit each with less menacing and far more goofy and sarcastic personas naturally. I initially dove into 'Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures' entirely uncertain of what to expect and therefore with my expectations in check, but I promptly found myself pleasantly surprised with this thrilling, humorous and just outright enjoyable animated series. I would certainly urge fellow Star Wars fanatics to give this one a whirl when you have the opportunity to do so, odds are that those who enjoy such animated efforts as 'Star Wars Rebels' will also have quite a bit of fun with this one, especially if you take it with a grain of salt and are open to some over the top silliness amidst the adventure.
Overall, the fellow Star Wars fanatics who enjoy the various animated shows within the universe will likely want to make a point of giving this one a shot at some point, it's an exciting, humorous and surprisingly enjoyable overall animated series that delivers constant fun and a continuing story that introduces fans to some unique new characters, along with plenty of fan favorites thrown into the mix for good measure. The Blu-ray release of 'Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures: Complete Season One' delivers fantastic high definition video presentations on every episode, and while it's absent of any lossless audio presentations, the included multichannel soundtracks still sound pretty wonderful for what they are. There isn't much in the way of bonus content included either, but for those who would enjoy reliving the entire exciting season time and again it would likely be worth purchasing a copy on Blu-ray as long as the price isn't outrageous.
The Blu-ray release of 'Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures: Complete Season One' features a full 1080p High Definition presentation utilizing the show's original 1.78:1 Aspect Ratio on all of the first season's episodes. The video presentations look outstanding in every way and deliver a beautifully vibrant, sharp and detailed presentation on every episode. They hold up impressively even during the fast moving and/or darkly lit sequences and never result in anything occurring on screen to become negatively affected, let alone rendered indiscernible. Overall, these are wonderful high definition video presentations complimented by more than sufficient bitrates that should easily thrill the fans.
While it should come as no surprise following previous animated 'Star Wars' season releases from Disney/Lucasfilm, the Blu-ray release is unfortunately absent of any lossless audio presentations and features a 5.1 channel 640 Kbps Dolby Digital soundtrack on all 13 Season One episodes. That being said, these lossy multichannel soundtracks still sound quite impressive and provide sharp, discrete and notably active audio presentations on each episode. They regularly utilize all five available channels in order to immerse the viewer within the score and to send plenty of space activity, blaster bolts, explosions and a great deal more throughout the various speakers, while always making certain that any dialogue which may be occurring simultaneously remains clean and fully audible. Overall, while it's admittedly always somewhat disappointing to see no lossless audio soundtracks included on new BD releases, these 5.1 channel Dolby Digital soundtracks do manage to hold up quite well and deliver an active and immersive auditory experience.
The Blu-ray release of 'Lego Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures: Complete Season One' includes a couple of brief extras. Included on the release is 'The Freemaker Adventures: Meet The Freemaker Family' which includes interviews/comments with the cast members discussing their roles, plus clips and more (running approximately 2 minutes in length), in addition to a guided tour of the Freemaker's shop by the family themselves in 'Freemaker Salvage and Repair' (running approximately 1 minute). 6 Exclusive Bubble Magnets featuring characters from the show are also included.

About PFAS
What are PFAS?
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ('PFAS') are a group of manufactured chemicals that have been widely used globally, since the 1950s, in the manufacture of household and industrial products that resist heat, stains, grease and water.
Examples of PFAS uses include stain protection for carpets, fabric, furniture and apparel; cosmetics; sunscreens; paper coating; plastics; electronic parts for printers and copiers; insecticides; metal plating; photographic materials; aviation hydraulic fluid; and medical devices. Because they are heat resistant and film forming in water, some have also been used as very effective ingredients in fire-fighting foams.
Why are PFAS a problem?
The release of PFAS into the environment has become a concern because these chemicals do not break down easily by any natural process, so they can persist in humans, animals and the environment. Governments across Australia are recommending that people reduce their exposure to PFAS wherever possible, as a precaution, while further research on the potential human health effects continues. For more information, go to the Health section.
Due to their widespread usage over time, persistence, and mobility in water and soil, PFAS are present in low levels everywhere in the environment. The levels of some PFAS, particularly PFOS and PFOA, are generally declining in the environment naturally over time, as their use in Australia is being reduced wherever possible. For more information, go to the Environment section.
Could I be affected by PFAS?
It is important to understand that, due to their widespread usage over time, persistence, and mobility in water and soil, PFAS are present in low levels everywhere in the environment, and most of us will have a detectable level of PFAS in our blood, through exposure to the wide variety of PFAS-containing products in our everyday lives.
There are a number of specific sites across Australia, where run-off from the historical use of PFAS-containing firefighting foams has resulted in increased levels of PFAS in surrounding soil and water. You can find information on these sites on the Investigations page.
Outside of these identified investigation areas, unless you live near industrial areas, landfill sites, or firefighting training grounds where PFAS-containing foams were used, it is unlikely that increased levels of PFAS would be present in your local environment.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) published a report in April 2017, entitled 'Perfluorinated Chemicals in Food', which included a Dietary Exposure Assessment.
What did FSANZ find in the Dietary Exposure Assessment?
General Population
Due to the lack of available data, FSANZ was not able to do a formal dietary assessment for the general population. However, dietary exposure to PFAS in the general food supply is likely to be low.
Communities from or near Contaminated Sites
People consuming certain foods sourced from or near contaminated sites may reach the tolerable daily intake for PFOS or PFOS and PFHxS combined when they consume their usual amounts of that food.
Occasional exceedances of the TDI from consumption of a specific food are not a public health concern.
For PFOA, the amount of food sourced from or near contaminated sites that can be consumed before exceeding the tolerable daily intake is much higher than the amount people normally eat.
Will PFAS be regulated in food?
FSANZ concluded that there are insufficient data to recommend a regulatory approach and set maximum limits in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code). This is consistent with the findings of other international agencies. No other country in the world has set regulatory limits for PFAS in food.
FSANZ has proposed a non-regulatory tool, referred to as 'trigger points'. When measuring levels of PFAS in certain foods, state and territory governments could use this tool to identify whether further investigation may be required if PFAS is detected in analysed foods. If required, the agencies could then provide information to the community to assist them in minimising their exposure, for example, through releasing a food advisory.
Is there PFAS in the general food supply?
Although there is currently limited information available on PFAS in the general food supply, dietary exposure to PFAS from the general food supply is likely to be low.
People growing and consuming their own produce in PFAS investigation areas should follow the most current advice provided by the investigating agency and/or the relevant state Environment Protection Agency.


P	PT. Bukaka Teknik Utama bergerak dalam bidang konstruksi, alat — alat berat, transportasi, teknik, industri telekomunikasi, dan bidang sarana pekerjaan umum. Road Construction Equipment (RCE) merupakan salah satu dan unit usahanya. RCE memproduksi macam — macam peralatan konstruksi jalan, salah satunya yaitu Asphalt Mixing Plant (AMP). Berdasarkan data historis perusahaan pada bulan Oktober - Desember 2011, overflow memiliki persentase cacat tertinggi dibanding komponen AMP lainnya yaitu sebesar 6,38 %. Untuk memperbaiki sistem pengendalian kualitas tersebut, perlu diterapkan metode Six Sigma dengan pendekatan DMAIC (Define — Measure — Analysis —Improve — Control) yang berguna untuk mengurangi persentase cacat produk. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi dan menentukan proses mana yang memiliki cacat dominan, menganalisa penyebab cacat tersebut dan memberikan usulan perbaikan. Bedasarkan perhitungan nilai DPMO (Defect Per Million Opportunities) pada komponen overflow sebesar 444.000 dengan tingkat sigma sebesar 1,64. Dan diagram pareto diambil tiga cacat terbesar yaitu cacat retak bor 22,8 %, cacat kelupas 21,1 % dan cacat baret 17,5 %. Untuk meningkatkan tingkat sigma, dilakukan analisa perbaikan proses produksi menggunakan metode Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) untuk mengetahui faktor penyebab kegagalan, kemudian menghitung nilai RPN tertinggi sebagai prioritas penanganan masalah. Usulan perbaikan dilakukan pada proses drilling dan painting. Karena sebagian besar penyebab kecacatan disebabkan oleh faktor manusia, maka usulan perbaikan untuk kedua proses tersebut adalah membuat Working Instruction (WI), diharapkan agar operator yang bekerja dapat lebih teratur dan disiplin mengikuti urutan proses pengerjaan yang benar.
P	PT. Bukaka is running in construction, Heavy Equipment transportation, engineering, and the general public works facilities. Road Construction Equipment (RCE) is one of their business unit. Road Construction Equipment business unit manufactures many kind of road construction equipment, and one of their .product is Asphalt Mixing Plant (AMP). Based on the company history research during October — December 2011, overflow component on Asphalt Mixing Plant (AMP) is the highest percentage of defect than the other components in Asphalt Mixing Plant is for about 6,38%. To improve the quality control system, the company need a method to approach six sigma DMAIC (Define —Measure — Analysis — Improve — Control) which useful for reducing the percentage of defective product. The purposes of this study is to identify and determine which of the process which has the dominant defect, analyze the causes of defects and provide the proposed improvements. Based on the DPMO (Defect per Million Opportunities) Calculation in overflow component obtained from the result of the calculation is about 444.000 with six sigma level is 1,64. Based on Pareto Diagram we are taken 3 most highest defect are drill cracks 22,8%, exfoliate defect 21,1% and beret defect 17,5%. To generate sigma level, We are making improvement analyze in production process using Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method to know the failure factor caused, by than we calculating the highest RPN value as a priority in handling defect caused. The proposed improvements are made in the process of drilling and painting, since some of the defect factor is caused by human error, therefore the proposed improvements for the two working process is making Working Instruction (WI), with providing the Working Instruction we are expected that the operator can be more organized and disciplined to follow the correct sequence of work processes.

He isn't one of the big guns in football just yet. But he currently is one of the biggest young stars in Eastern Europe. Victor Tsygankov has the potential to reach top level. We checked his development in Football Manager 2019.
In April 2018 Victor Tsygankov signed a new contract until the summer of 2023. So, especially in the first season, he won't be cheap. As a Chelsea manager we managed to get him for €37.5M + 50% of profit from next sale.
Despite his young age, Victor Tsygankov has a key part in this Dynamo Kiev squad. And given the fact that he is from Ukraine, Dynamo see him as an important player.
In 2028 we can see that Tsygankov had a successful career. Playing for Hoffenheim, who bought him for 30M in season two, Werder Bremen and eventually Premier League side Brighton. He might not be suitable for the real big teams, but for teams just below that, he eventually will turn out great.


A trigger point is a tight, painful "knot" of muscle fiber. It can form where a muscle is strained or injured. The knot can sometimes be felt under the skin and is very tender to the touch. Pain may also spread to other parts of the affected muscle. Muscles around a knee, shoulder blade or other bones are prone to trigger points. This is because these muscles are more likely to be injured.
A Trigger Point injection puts a local anesthetic into the knotted muscle, relaxing it.As the muscle relaxes, the pain eases. Relaxing the muscle can also make movement easier. This allows the patient to be able to exercise or do physical therapy to strengthen the muscle and help it heal.
Trigger point injections are performed in a comfortable room in our office. The patient sits in a chair or lies on an exam table so the doctor can reach the affected muscle. The doctor will feel and stretch the muscle to find the exact spot of the trigger point.Once the trigger point is located, it is injected with Lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which numbs that area of the muscle.
The muscle may have one or more trigger points, so each trigger point will be injected.Several injections may be needed in each trigger point to achieve the best pain relief. These injections may be given 1 to 2 weeks apart. In some cases, patients may not feel much change in symptoms until after the third injection.
After treatment, the injection site may be sore for a day or so. Put ice or heat on the treated sites as instructed by the doctor. If additional pain relief is needed, ask the doctor which medications are safe to use. Most patients can return to work the same day.Being active helps the muscles heal. Your doctor may suggest exercising and may also prescribe physical therapy. Stretch and strengthen your muscles and practice good posture. This helps keep muscle pain or spasms from returning.
Call the doctor's office if you experience increased pain, a fever over 101°, chills or drainage at the treated site.
If you have any questions about the potential side effects of having a trigger point injection, we would be happy to discuss any concern you may have.
If you continue to suffer with chronic pain and would like to explore if trigger point injections are an appropraite treatment option, contact Dr. Lox for an appointment at 727-462-5582. Since 1990, Dennis M. Lox, M.D has applied his personal interests in sports medicine, cutting-edge regenerative medicine and chronic pain management to helping patients increase their quality of life.

Plaid group lays out their opposition to council shake-up by the Labour Welsh Government
The leader of the Plaid Cymru Group on Caerphilly council, Colin Mann has spelt out its opposition to a shake-up of local government proposed by the Labour Welsh Government.
Councillor Colin Mann said that Caerphilly has little in common with the city of Newport, the authority which the Welsh Government suggests for merger.
The Plaid response to Strengthening Local Government Consultation Paper states: "Could I state that the Plaid group fully supports the response that you will have received from Caerphilly CBC. The response was considered by full council on 5.6.18 and overwhelming supported by the elected members present. In fact. only one (Independent) councillor voted against the proposal.
"This latest proposal is the latest in a series from the Welsh Government looking at various re-organisation proposals. In fact, proposals seem to be made with monotonous regularity. Why not have real consultation and actually ask the people who are being proposed for re-organisation rather than trying to impose solutions from above?
"I would contend that there is very little prospect of any financial benefit from these proposals. Where is the evidence that the financial cost, together with the disruption, that re-organisation would cause would be recouped in any reasonable time, if at all? What is the point of wasting money on pointless re-organisation in this age of austerity when everyone is struggling for adequate resources?
"I should not need to remind you that councils that have offered to merge as a response to previous proposals had their offers rejected.
"With reference to the latest proposal could I say that there is no real community of interest between Caerphilly CBC and Newport. To give just one example, Newport is largely an urban authority, with ambitions as an emerging new city.
"Newport also has a substantial ethnic minority, different to CCBC. Caerphilly is largely a rural authority made up of around 50 mainly small settlements, including many former mining communities. These communities have – and still are – struggling to cope with all the challenges of a post-industrial situation. The culture and background of the two areas does not look potentially like a good mix.
"Caerphilly is one of the largest councils in Wales and certainly is of a size to provide the majority of services from its own resources. Where this is not the case, the council is willing to cooperate with other authorities as appropriate. This has already happened in many instances.
"How much faith can we have in Welsh Government proposals? The Welsh Government has not exactly covered itself in glory with the National Procurement Service. Much of the good work and cooperation previously done by local government, for example, the Welsh Purchasing Consortium, has been totally disrupted by this proposal. We now find that the national service which was established at great cost to the Welsh taxpayer is just not delivering the goods!
"I have not responded directly to your questionnaire as there are many assumptions in it that take the respondent down a route that I do not wish to take.
"In conclusion, could I say that I and many colleagues that I have spoken to very much resent the time taken to respond to these proposals, proposals that many regard as nonsensical.
"Maybe it would be best for the Welsh Government to concentrate on improving itself and allow Local Government to deliver the services needed by the people of Wales, albeit with ever-diminishing resources."

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show®, the top annual boating event for the global marine industry and consumers, is about to elevate the show experience even further. Informa Exhibitions, the company that manages and produces the show, has announced plans to enhance the five-day event and support year-round interaction between consumers and exhibitors. The 58th annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) takes place Wednesday, November 1 through Sunday, November 5, 2017.
From infrastructure improvements to innovative marketing, digital software and hotel booking solutions, Informa Exhibitions' investments will span numerous aspects of the show experience. This will include new plastic and fiberglass floating docks, half of which will be in place for the upcoming show, new electrical equipment, improved tent flooring and new trucks. Improved wayfinding graphics and signage will make navigating the show's seven locations, and locating specific products, easier than ever before.
Earlier this year, Informa PLC purchased Show Management, the company that managed the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show since 1976. Informa Exhibitions currently delivers more than 200 industry events across the world annually, including the Monaco Yacht Show.
"The investments Informa Exhibitions is making in infrastructure, technology and the consumer experience will greatly enhance the show's appeal to exhibitors, attendees and sponsors," said Andrew Doole, general manager of Informa Exhibitions' Boating Group. "These improvements will help ensure the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show's worldwide reputation as the industry's leading annual event."
In addition to infrastructure improvements, exhibitors, consumers and sponsors will start to benefit from the platforms and resources Informa Exhibitions provides to foster year-round connectivity.
Software helps to plan and manage consumer visits to the show with a "walking list" of exhibitors and products. Sales sheets, technical specifications, marketing materials and videos are easily downloadable by consumers year-round and exhibitors can access information about customer searches for specific products.
The new advertising and marketing approach consists of a multi-channel advertising campaign with location remarketing and elevated involvement in community partnerships. Redesigned sponsorships, focused on value and sponsor ROI, offer a wide range of price points and new opportunities for guest-sponsor engagement.
New hotel contracting resources and planning options offer a mix of hotel brands and locations through an easy-to-manage reservation system with onsite support staff and white glove services for exhibitors and groups.
Owned by the Marine Industries Association of South Florida and managed and produced by Informa Exhibitions, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is the largest boat show in the world in terms of gross exhibitor space and number of vessels. The show attracts approximately 100,000 attendees, 1,000 exhibitors and more than 1,200 boats each November and is widely regarded as the top annual boating event where consumers and the global marine industry gather to buy, sell, meet up and see what is new.
Established in 1959, the show has grown to seven locations with more than 3 million square feet of space, all connected by a network of water taxis, riverboats and shuttles. Locations include the Bahia Mar Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel & Yachting Center, Hall of Fame Marina, Las Olas Municipal Marina, Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina, Sails Marina, Hyatt Regency Pier 66 Marina, and the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center.
The show's local, regional and statewide economic benefits are substantial. According to the results of an economic impact study conducted by Thomas J. Murray & Associates in conjunction with the University of Florida released in July 2016, the 2015 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show contributed more than $857 million to Florida's economy.

Large-scale distribution site uncovered in massive police take-down. QPS
POLICE BUST: $6 million drug farm hidden in Southern Downs
by marian.faa
28th Mar 2019 4:29 PM | Updated: 29th Mar 2019 2:12 PM
MORE than 1800 mature marijuana plants worth over $6 million have been found in a massive take-down of a sophisticated drug operation that was hidden on a property at Old Talgai.
Six people have been remanded in custody and one person has been released on bail after a suite of arrests following a protracted police investigation that involved Warwick detectives, a state drug squad and the Australian Border Force.
Three Vietnamese nationals who have allegedly overstayed their Australian visas were arrested on Tuesday after police executed a warrant on a Talgai property.
MORE than 1800 mature marijuana plants worth over $6 million have been found in a massive take-down of a sophisticated drug operation that was hidden on a property at Old Talgai. QPS
Warwick CIB boss Darren Tamblyn said detectives found an "extremely sophisticated and professional" marijuana farm at the site.
"You can imagine a greenhouse, 2500 plants all in pots with a sophisticated watering and fertilising system," he said.
In total, 140kg of packaged cannabis buds, 340 harvested cannabis plants, and more than 1800 mature cannabis plants were found, the majority growing in a greenhouse.
Detective sergeant Tamblyn said the drugs were high quality and intended for distribution.
"It was located in kilo and pound packaging," he said.
"They estimated a value of the crops and the dried packaged products to be in excess of $6 million."
Dat Le, Anh Nguyen and Minh Hung Nguyen appeared in Warwick Magistrates court on Tuesday to face a spate of drug-related offences, including producing dangerous drugs.
Australian Border Force officers were involved in the investigation. Australian Border Force
They were all remanded in custody.
The next day, police arrested four more people, who attempted to visit the Old Talgai farm while police were conducting on-site investigations.
Lien Thi Tran, Van Thanh Tran and Hoang Viet Vu from Inala were charged each with producing and possessing dangerous drugs and other drugs-related charges.
New South Wales man Duc Canh Phi was also charged with supplying dangerous drugs and possession of property in connection with drug offence.
Only Mr Phi was granted bail.
Police prosecutor Ken Wiggan said the offences were believed to be linked to $1.5 million worth of marijuana that was found during police patrols at Minden on March 11.
Detective sergeant Tamblyn said it was a significant breakthrough in operation Papa Cider, which commenced last year.
"It was certainly a protracted and well thought-out joint investigation. The arresting officers were all from Warwick CIB," he said.
The accused are due to appear in the Warwick Magistrates Court on May 31.
Warwick Daily News contacted the Australian Border Force but had not received a response at the time of publication.

As long as we are on the issue of cognitive errors, it is instructive to review the crash of an MQ-9 Reaper in an unpopulated area in Nevada on Dec. 5, 2012. The U. S. Air Force Air Combat Command recently published a full report of the incident, noting, "The aircraft, one inert Guided Bomb Unit, a Hellfire training missile, a Mission Kit, and one M299 missile rail were destroyed. The loss is valued at approximately $9.6 million. There were no injuries or damage to other government or private property."
A summary:
The Accident Investigation Board President therefore found by clear and convincing evidence that the causes of the mishap were:
1) prior to the flight, the throttle-quadrant settings were improperly configured during the reconfiguration of the GCS from MQ-1 to MQ-9 operations
2) this throttle change went unrecognized because the mishap pilot did not personally execute the checklists on his control rack prior to gaining control of the aircraft, and
3) the pilot stalled the aircraft due to an unrecognized, commanded reverse-thrust condition that existed whenever the pilot's throttle was at any position except fully forward.
Additionally, the AAIB found by a preponderance of evidence that the mishap pilot failed to execute his GCS preflight in accordance with technical order procedures, substantially contributing to the mishap.
How many hospitals would publish such a report for the world to see?
Pat Thomas said...
No Paul, not many hospitals and doctors would publish this type of report. Unfortunately, this is why they have malpractice attorneys. I don't know which came 1st: Lack of publicly reported investigations or malpractice attorneys.
I do personally know that FTA aviation accident reports are a critical part of new pilot training. Some pilots memorize FTA report findings to improve their own performance.
I agree with Pat; there will have to be some sort of immunity granted similar to that given to other peer review functions in order for this to become SOP. Also, the sheer volume of medical errors and the lack of a centralized mechanism and format for reporting is a barrier.
There is no question that our profession, including the administrative side, is missing a giant learning opportunity, for cultural, legal and structural reasons. We need an overarching vision for how to do this (Paul?) and to set about systematically eliminating these barriers so that learning can accelerate by leaps and bounds. Not to mention to also stop killing people.
Agree with both, but we in the medical profession and hospital administrations have kept medical errors and unexpected outcomes in the shadows like dirty secrets Current education encouraging the admission of errors with an apology to patients has not been well received. The recent shake up at the Mass Board of Registration might help to shed some light on the previously clandestine system of peer review. Yes, perhaps some sort of immunity so that our patients can enjoy the same assurance of safety control in the OR that they have in a plane.

Chechens in Fear After Memorial's Departure
By	Paul Goble
Window on Eurasia covers current events in Russia and the nations of the former Soviet Union, with a focus on issues of ethnicity and religion. The issues covered are often not those written about on the front pages of newspapers. Instead, the articles in the Windows series focus on those issues that either have not been much discussed or provide an approach to stories that have been. Frequent topics include civil rights, radicalism, Russian Islam, the Russian Orthodox Church, and events in the North Caucasus, among others.
Author Paul Goble is a longtime specialist on ethnic and religious questions in Eurasia. Most recently, he was director of research and publications at the Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy. He has served in various capacities in the U.S. State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency and the International Broadcasting Bureau as well as at the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He writes frequently on ethnic and religious issues and has edited five volumes on ethnicity and religion in the former Soviet space.
Many Chechens fear that the decision of the Memorial Legal Defense Center last week to suspend its operations in their republic in the wake of human rights activist Natalya Estemirova's murder will "untie" the hands of the force structures there and lead to even more repression.
Their fears are compounded by the Duma's consideration of a measure that, while promising to provide compensation to victims of violence at the hands of the government, could have the effect of making it more difficult for Chechens and other victims to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, a venue that has been their court of last resort in many cases.
The leadership of the Memorial Center announced last Friday that it was suspending operations in Chechnya both as a protest against the murder of Estemirova and because the powers that be in that North Caucasus republic could not guarantee the security of its representatives there.
Some Chechens said they believed Memorial had no other choice. "It is natural," one told Kavkaz-uzel.ru, that "they had to react in some way to what happened" in the hopes of putting pressure on officials to take action and in order to call attention to the disingenuousness of statements by Russian and Chechen leaders that Chechnya is "peaceful."
But other Chechens suggested that Memorial should be thinking "not only about the death of its colleague or how this will influence the leadership of the Chechnya, but also about how the populace of the republic and especially ordinary citizens who have sought its support and defense will react to this decision," Kavkaz-uzel.ru reported.
One resident declared that "this decision is not ideal," because "our local parliamentarians, bureaucrats, and 'rights activists' from Chechen ombudsman Nudzhiyev on down are seeking to exculpate in the first instance Ramzan Kadyrov" not because they are "upset" by this "bestial" crime but because "anyone might think" Kadyrov ordered it.
(Ombudsman Nurdi Nukhazhiyev, in an action that many will see as evidence of such attitudes and fears, said, "one could only regret Memorial's decision," even though he insisted that "the defenders of human rights of the Chechen Republic with Memorial or without it will occupy themselves with the defense of the rights of citizens.")
What are ordinary Chechens to do, the resident continued, now that the Memorial offices have been "temporarily" closed? "What is to become of the tens and hundreds of those who had turned to Memorial as one of the few organizations that really tried to help people and whom the murdered Natasha Estemirova in fact helped?"
In the opinion of that Chechen, Memorial's closure will only "further untie the hands of the siloviki who in recent times even without this have sharply increased their punitive and repressive actions." Thus, she fears, by its action, "Memorial has in fact thrown the population of Chechnya to the arbitrariness of fate."
But the murder of Estemirova and the temporary suspension of Memorial's operations in Grozny were not the only setbacks the Chechens and other North Caucasians experienced last week. In Moscow, the Duma took up a law about the compensation of victims of counter-terrorist operations that will only add to their victimization and isolation.
The adoption of the law could lead to a halt in the acceptance of cases from Chechens by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, said Georgy Matyushkin, the Russian Federation's representative at the court, last Monday. (www.newsru.com/russia/13jul2009/stras.html). The court has been the venue of last resort for many Chechens.
Moscow officials have been angered by the court, which has accepted more cases about the violation of human rights from Russia than from any other country, and have long sought a way to prevent the court from hearing them and giving government authorities, who lose almost every such case, a public relations black eye every few months.
The current legal effort is based on a similar law that Turkey adopted in 2004. By creating a national program of compensation, that country has been able to reduce the number of appeals that the European Court has taken up. And now the Russian government clearly hopes for the same outcome.
But Russia may not succeed, some commentators say, because the Court's own declarations suggest that Moscow will not meet a key test Strasbourg has set for not taking a case &mdash the supplying of official documentation about the deaths or injuries that lie behind the suit. Moscow has not done this in the past, and the draft bill would not change that.
Memorial's decision to suspend operations in Chechnya and Moscow's efforts to short-circuit the appeals process to the European Court represent a serious challenge to those in the West who want to see the government of the Russian Federation move toward becoming a law-based state.
In the absence of information supplied by groups like Memorial and the Strasbourg court, information that Chechen and Russian officials are doing what they can to block, many in the West and especially in Western governments that want "good relations" with Moscow will be inclined to assume that the situation is getting better when in fact it is getting worse.
Such false conclusions could reinforce a disturbing trend on the part of some governments in the West not to press Moscow on human rights issues lest raising such concerns get in the way of cooperation. The Chechens and other North Caucasians, of course, will be the first victims of such a policy. Tragically, they will not be the last.
