CEO Fraud: This Scam Will Get You Fired & Cost Your Boss Money
Matthew Hughes January 20, 2016 20-01-2016 5 minutes
Email is a common attack vector used by fraudsters and computer criminals. But if you thought that it was only used to spread malware, phishing, and Nigerian advance fee scams Do Nigerian Scam Emails Hide A Terrible Secret? [Opinion] Do Nigerian Scam Emails Hide A Terrible Secret? [Opinion] Another day, another spam email drops into my inbox, somehow working its way around the Windows Live spam filter that does such a good job of protecting my eyes from all of the other unsolicited... Read More , think again. There's a new email-driven scam where an attacker will pretend to be your boss, and get you to transfer thousands of dollars of company funds into a bank account they control.
It's called CEO Fraud, or "Insider Spoofing".
Understanding The Attack
So, how does the attack work? Well, for an attacker to successfully pull it off, they need to know a lot of information about the company they're targeting.
Much of this information is about the hierarchical structure of the company or institution they're targeting. They'll need to know who they'll be impersonating. Although this type of scam is known as "CEO fraud", in reality it targets anyone with a senior role – anyone who would be able to initiate payments. They'll need to know their name, and their email address. It'd also help to know their schedule, and when they'd be travelling, or on vacation.
Finally, they need to know who in the organization is able to issue money transfers, such as an accountant, or someone in the employ of the finance department.
Much of this information can be freely found on the websites of the company in question. Many medium-and-small size companies have "About Us" pages, where they list their employees, their roles and responsibilities, and their contact information.
Finding someone's schedules can be a little bit harder. The vast majority of people don't publicize their calendar online. However, many people do publicize their movements on social media sites, like Twitter, Facebook, and Swarm (formerly Foursquare) Foursquare Relaunches As Discovery Tool Based On Your Tastes Foursquare Relaunches As Discovery Tool Based On Your Tastes Foursquare pioneered the mobile check-in; a location-based status update that told the world exactly where you were and why – so is the switch to a pure discovery tool a step forward? Read More . An attacker would only need to wait until they've left the office, and they can strike.

— Andrew Bolster (@Bolster) January 17, 2016
Once the attacker has every piece of the puzzle he needs to conduct the attack, they will then email the finance employee, purporting to be the CEO, and requesting that they initiate a money transfer to a bank account they control.
For it to work, the email has to look genuine. They'll either use an email account that looks 'legitimate' or plausible (For example firstname.lastname.arbitrarynumber@gmail.com), or though 'spoofing' the CEO's genuine email. This will be where an email is sent with modified headers, so the "From:" field contains the CEO's genuine email. Some motivated attackers will attempt to get the CEO to email them, so they can duplicate the stylings and aesthetics of their email.
The attacker will hope that the finance employee will be pressured to initiate the transfer without checking first with the targeted executive. This bet often pays off, with some companies having unwittily paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars. One company in France which was profiled by the BBC lost 100,000 Euros. The attackers tried to get 500,000, but all but one of the payments were blocked by the bank, who suspected fraud.
How Social Engineering Attacks Work
Traditional computer security threats tend to be technological in nature. As a result, you can employ technological measures to defeat these attacks. If you get infected with malware, you can install an anti-virus program. If someone's been trying to hack your web server, you can hire someone to perform a penetration test and advise you on how you can 'harden' the machine against other attacks.
Social engineering attacks What Is Social Engineering? [MakeUseOf Explains] What Is Social Engineering? [MakeUseOf Explains] You can install the industry's strongest and most expensive firewall. You can educate employees about basic security procedures and the importance of choosing strong passwords. You can even lock-down the server room - but how... Read More – of which CEO fraud is an example of – are a lot harder to mitigate against, because they're not attacking systems or hardware. They're attacking people. Rather than exploiting vulnerabilities in code, they take advantage of human nature, and our instinctive biological imperative to trust other people. One of the most interesting explanations of this attack was made at the DEFCON conference in 2013.
Some of the most jaw-droppingly audacious hacks were a product of social engineering.
In 2012, former-Wired journalist Mat Honan found himself under attack by a determined cadre of cyber-criminals, who were determined to dismantle his online life. By using social engineering tactics, they were able to convince Amazon and Apple to provide them the information they needed to remotely-wipe his MacBook Air and iPhone, delete his email account, and seize his influential Twitter account in order to post racial and homophobic epithets. You can read the chilling tale here.
Social engineering attacks are hardly a new innovation. Hackers have been using them for decades in order to gain access to systems, buildings and information for decades. One of the most notorious social engineers is Kevin Mitnick, who in the mid-90's spent years hiding from the police, after committing a string of computer crimes. He was jailed for five years, and was prohibited from using a computer until 2003. As hackers go, Mitnick was as close as you could get to having rockstar status 10 of the World's Most Famous and Best Hackers (and Their Fascinating Stories) 10 of the World's Most Famous and Best Hackers (and Their Fascinating Stories) White-hat hackers versus black-hat hackers.

What Can Be Done About CEO Fraud?
So, let's recap. We know that CEO Fraud is awful. We know it's cost a lot of companies a lot of money. We know it's incredibly hard to mitigate against, because it's an attack against humans, not against computers. The last thing left to cover is how we fight against it.
This is easier said than done. If you're an employee and you've received a suspicious payment request from your employer or boss, you might want to check in with them (using a method other than email) to see whether it was genuine. They might be a bit annoyed with you for bothering them, but they'll probably be more annoyed if you ended up sending $100,000 of company funds to a foreign bank account.
There are technological solutions that can be used, too. Microsoft's upcoming update to Office 365 will contain some protections against this type of attack, by checking the source of each email to see whether it came from a trusted contact. Microsoft reckons that they've achieved a 500% improvement in how Office 365 identifies counterfeit or spoofed emails.
Don't Be Stung
The most reliable way to protect against these attacks is to be skeptical. Whenever you get an email that asks you to make a large money transfer, call up your boss to see if it's legit. If you have any sway with the IT department, consider asking them to move to Office 365 An Introduction to Office 365: Should You Buy Into the New Office Business Model?

I received a CEO spam email yesterday and unfortunately responded giving my requested personal cell like a fool. I wasn't thinking and actually immediately thought it was real and I'd be doing the company a favor. The request was to complete an errand for $500 WallMart gift cards. THe sender said he (CEO) was in a meeting and it was urgent he have this for the client. Right there I should have stopped but I didn't and completed the "errand". THe company didn't lose money but I did. I immediately had a bad feeling and reported it after the fact. I'm probably getting fired today when I go in even though the company didn't lose money but I appear as a foolish liability. My naiveness may have ruined the best job I've ever had. Any comments of enlightenment or encouraged are welcomed. I already know I made a huge foolish mistake and am kicking my own butt.
Yes a client's email was hacked I sent out the wire. The emails were from my contacts and signature matched I was fired. I was devastated

Mo Alie-Cox Continues Ascent For Tight End-Rich Colts' Offense
With the likes of Jack Doyle, Eric Ebron and Ross Travis recovering from respective injuries, Mo Alie-Cox has been taking the first-team reps at tight end during offseason practices. Entering his third NFL season, the former basketball standout feels much more comfortable — and it shows on the field.
Andrew Walker
INDIANAPOLIS — Mo Alie-Cox was curious.
Just how much has my game changed in two years?
So he recently found the film from May 12, 2017, and his first rookie minicamp practice with the Indianapolis Colts. What he saw, he admits, was cringeworthy.
"I'm like, 'Man I don't know how the coaches kept me here,'" Alie-Cox said. "I was literally just out there playing. Like, footwork's horrible, routes are horrible."
Fortunately, the Colts' coaches weren't too hard on Alie-Cox that day, considering it was his first organized football practice since his freshman year of high school.
Move ahead exactly 739 days: Alie-Cox is taking reps as the No. 1 tight end — and not at rookie minicamp, mind you; on the first day of Colts' OTA practices.
Not afraid to ask questions, and packed with tons of athletic talent, size and natural ability, Alie-Cox has found a comfort zone on the football field at a rapid pace.
And after getting his feet wet in 2018 with his first two NFL touchdowns and tons of lessons learned as a blocker, Alie-Cox stands to continue his ascent within the Colts' tight end-friendly offense in 2019.
"It makes me feel good," Alie-Cox said. "I'm in my third year. I've only played nine games, but I study a lot, so I know what I'm doing out there; it's just about me just going out there and executing."
The Colts weren't exactly sure what they were getting when they signed the 6-foot-5 Alie-Cox as an undrafted free agent out of VCU, where he didn't play a down of football. Instead, he was a standout on the Rams' basketball team.
In fact, prior to signing with the Colts, Alie-Cox had gone almost 10 years without playing a down of organized football, having transferred after his freshman year to a private high school that didn't offer the sport.
"I was pretty much forced to stick with basketball and ended up landing a D-I scholarship," he said.
The Colts were willing to be patient with Alie-Cox, who spent most of the 2017 season on the team's practice squad. After a strong offseason, Alie-Cox began the 2018 regular season on the practice squad, but it was only a matter of time before he would be called up to the active roster, which came on Sept. 28.
Alie-Cox would make his first-career catch — a 17-yard reception — in his NFL debut Week 4 against the Houston Texans. Two weeks later, he hauled in a 34-yard catch against the Jets.
Slowly but surely, Alie-Cox's role was growing within the Colts' offense. Hit with injuries to the likes of Jack Doyle, Ross Travis and Erik Swoope, Alie-Cox was tasked with learning as he went at times, especially as a blocker.
"Mo Alie-Cox is just a huge man that is just really learning how to play football," Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni said in November. "This is really the beginning of his football career. All these guys that – I think about myself, I started playing football when I was seven (years old) and then probably very similar all the guys in the room started playing football when they were seven. He was playing basketball at that time. He is just really learning to start to play football and you can really see him improve a little bit each and every day, get a little bit better every day because it is brand new to him."
But Alie-Cox really had his coming-out party Week 8 against the Oakland Raiders. On their very first possession in a scoreless ballgame, the Colts faced a 1st and 10 from the Oakland 26-yard line. Quarterback Andrew Luck, lined up under center, took the snap and faked a handoff to running back Marlon Mack.
Initially looking downfield for Doyle, Luck liked what he saw in Alie-Cox's matchup near the goal line against cornerback Gareon Conley. The quarterback lofted a high pass to the 3-yard line, where only his tight end could get it.
And, oh, did his tight end ever get it.
Showing off his basketball skills, Alie-Cox leapt backwards off two feet and snagged the ball out of the air at its highest point with one hand, landing in the end zone for his first-career touchdown.
"At practice, Jack was like, 'Mo, run this route full speed.' Because the ball's supposed to go to Jack, but he was like, 'There's a chance if the safety does something, the ball's going to come to you,'" Alie-Cox recalled. "So I took his advice and I just took off running, I came out my break, and I'm just looking, the ball was there. I was like that ball is up there, I was going to go it with two, but I was like 'There's no way I'm going to get it with two.' So I just stuck my hand up there and it just stuck.
"The ball just stuck," Alie-Cox continued. "I was just trying to get a hand on the ball, it stuck, and I didn't even know I scored. I got up and I was like, 'What the heck? I'm in the end zone?'"
The touchdown made its rounds on various "top plays" lists — Sirianni considers it the best catch in the NFL since Odell Beckham Jr.'s one-handed catch against the Dallas Cowboys in 2014 — and it just added to Alie-Cox's confidence. In fact, he scored his second-career touchdown in the Colts' next game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
In all, Alie-Cox played in nine games with one start in his first full NFL season, finishing with seven receptions for 133 yards — an average of 19 yards per grab — and two scores.
But what's impressed Frank Reich the most about Alie-Cox? Since the end of the 2018 season, the Colts' head coach said the tight end has gotten noticeably better.
"We all know Mo is a smart guy, but that's a really hard position to play. Things happen really fast," Reich said recently. "Mo from the start was physically good enough, but how fast can you see the game? Can you play with what we call accelerated vision and see things and have the game slow down? And Mo has really shown that."
And what about the technical aspects of the position?
"I am really excited about Mo's development because what I have even seen in the short time in Phase 2 when we get out there and start running routes, I really think he is really starting to develop as a route runner," Reich said. "I mean, we know he has got good hands but last year I thought he struggled a little bit in his route running and he was just very average. I have already seen in three weeks of Phase 2 some really key indicators to me — I mean very tangible indicators that he can develop into a very good route runner as well. He is so long and big and they don't want to tackle him.
"Mo, man I am so excited about that guy. He is headed in the right direction."
Alie-Cox can feel it, too. From a shaky start two years ago to making highlight-reel plays and running with the first team in offseason practices, Alie-Cox is ecstatic to see what he can do in Year 3, and his second year in Reich's tight end-friendly system.
"Last year everything was just brand new compared to the first year — everything was brand new, had to restart, it was brand new again," Alie-Cox said. "So this year, I already have that comfort level where I know what I'm doing. So now it's just about working on my technique, my footwork, the little things to just help me be a better football player, because being more comfortable helps you play faster, so I now just need to focus on the little details to make me a better football player."

Am I immune to addiction?
I use heroin on the weekends, usually on Saturday and on Sunday. I started using heroin 3 years ago but it's only been a regular every week thing for the past year. I know this is a dangerous thing to do but I swear I never have any cravings or withdrawal symptoms come Monday and I am never tempted to use during the week – strictly a weekend party pleasure kind of thing. Are some people more immune to opiate addiction than others? From what I hear from other people I have used with my ability to take it or leave it is abnormal, to say the least.
Habit is an interesting thing, it can both encourage you to use and keep your use within limits which you set. So your habit has settled in to being a regular thing and this supports your continuing to use. If you found yourself breaking your habit, then you might think that you had to stop, which is why keeping your habit helps you to continue to use. There will not be a problem until your level of tolerance begins to rise and you no longer get the results you were getting from a regular amount of substance. It would also be useful to look at what other substances you are using. What is the alcohol mix, alcohol might mask the need for further amounts.
You will have seen that it took a time to progress from irregular to regular use, in the same way it is possible that it will progress slowly to daily use. You do not tell me whether you inject or smoke heroin. Many people smoke then progress to injecting.
No-one is totally immune from the gradual physical addiction, but certain things will help to keep it stable. Having a regular pattern of life and of when and how you use. Having supportive friends and family and not suffering any traumatic events in your relationships/employment will all help. Using heavy amounts of alcohol with it is dangerous in itself, as well as impinging on your control.
I would not be telling you what to do, but I would be wondering why you have to knock yourself out of the picture for much of the weekend by using heroin. I suspect it would be useful to see whether there are aspects of your life which are needing attention but are not getting it because of your using. Look to see what is not happening in your life, and progress that and then you will see the real reasons why this is dangerous and why it is getting on time you chould be thinking about cutting down and moving into a more productive phase of life.

Uttlesford District Council is pressing ahead with plans for thousands of new homes in three new 'garden communities'.
The authority has finally submitted its proposals to James Brokenshire, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government.
It has abandoned earlier efforts to build the bulk of the new homes required on Bishop's Stortford's doorstep - between Henham and Elsenham - after they were panned as unsustainable by a government inspector who sent the council back to the drawing board.
However, Bishop's Stortford town councillors are still concerned about the impact of Uttlesford's revised draft local plan.
The district is required by government to outline how it will meet a target of 14,000 new homes by 2033. Of these, approximately 8,000 homes have already been built or have planning permission within existing towns and villages.
It has decided to partner with neighbouring Essex authorities to build along the A120 at Easton Park, to the north of the A120 and west of Great Dunmow, constructing 10,000 dwellings of which 1,925 will be delivered by 2033.
The West of Braintree Garden Community would straddle the district boundary with Braintree and the Uttlesford portion is located on land between Stebbing and Rayne and includes the ancient Boxted Wood. The whole garden community within both districts will ultimately have capacity for 10,500 to 13,500 homes - of which 970 homes will be built by 2033 to meet Uttlesford's housing need.
The M11, A120 and Stansted Airport are critical to Uttlesford's strategy to build homes and create 16,000 jobs and the leader of Bishop's Stortford Town Council, Cllr John Wyllie has repeatedly called for a new train line from the aviation hub – the region's largest single-site employer – to Dunmow and onto Braintree. Otherwise, he predicts commuters from the new settlements will drive to the nearest town with a mainline station into London and Cambridge - Bishop's Stortford.
A 5,000-home North Uttlesford Garden Community, close to the border with Cambridgeshire, on land south-east of the A11 and north-east of the B184, is also planned with 1,925 homes ready by 2033.
Uttlesford's Conservative leader, Cllr Howard Rolfe, said: "This is an exciting time for Uttlesford as we move to the next stage of the Local Plan process. Putting together a local plan is complex but it is vital to ensure we conserve and enhance the district's intrinsic character and beauty while supporting our thriving rural communities.

UK population most overweight in Europe? New study predicts that fifth of adults globally will be obese by 2025
UK population most overweight in Europe?
Published on 3 May 2016
Global obesity rates are expected to grow rapidly over the next 10 years according to a recent study that suggests one fifth of adults could be overweight by 2025.
And the UK is predicted to have the biggest growth of obese people in Europe, with 38% of both men and women expected to be overweight, which can lead to a range of related health conditions, including type 2 diabetes and heart problems.
The report, recently published in The Lancet, predicted even more worrying figures for Americans, where 43% of women and 45% men are expected to be obese.
A new report predicts one fifth of adults globally could be obese by 2025
The study, led by Imperial College London, looked at population-based studies from countries around the world between 1975 and 2014 that measured people's height, weight, gender and age, then combined them to give the best estimate of body mass index (BMI) ranges for 200 countries and 21 regions in each year.
The results of 1,698 studies, covering more than 19 million people from 186 countries, were collected to give a global picture of how the weight profile of the global population has changed.
The results showed that the average body mass index rose globally from 1975 to 2014 for men and women, although there was a lot of variation between different places.
In the UK, the average BMI for men rose from 24.1 in 1975 to 27.4 in 2014. For women, BMI went from 23.4 to 27. A BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered ideal for an adult.
The UK has 6.8 million obese men – the eighth highest country in the world – and 7.7 million obese women – the eleventh highest country in the world.
The report also confirmed that China and the US now have the most obese people in the world, with the US having the most severely obese people of any country. China also comes second in the number of underweight men and women, after India.
The researchers said the trend of increasing obesity slowed among some countries after 2000, notably in countries with high incomes, perhaps as a result of increased concern about obesity.
According to the researchers no country has more than a 50% chance of halting the growth of obesity on current trends, and the UK's chances are between 0% and 25%.
The study authors concluded: "Some high-income and middle-income regions are now facing an epidemic of severe obesity."
They added that rising obesity levels have not yet shown an increase in earlier deaths, but this could be due to the availability of drugs to combat high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes in richer countries.
The researchers said even these drugs "will not be able to fully address the hazards of such high BMI levels" in the future, warning that "bariatric surgery [weight loss surgery] might be the most effective intervention".
An NHS Behind the Headlines report on the study said: "The figures in the study make for startling reading. Although it's difficult to draw conclusions from a mass of data covering the whole world, it seems clear that adults are becoming progressively heavier, and high-income countries such as the US and UK now have a large proportion of adults who weigh more than is healthy.
"The study relies on hundreds of different studies carried out by different organisations, so it is subject to any inaccuracies that might have happened during the measurement and recording process.
"However, the researchers only chose studies that had independent measurements of weight and height, so the overall results should be more accurate than if they'd relied on self-reported measurements.
"We shouldn't ignore the number of people who are still underweight in the world. While this is a small proportion of people in rich countries like the UK, more than 200 million people in India are underweight for their height.
"China and India together account for more than half of the men and women who are underweight in the world. It is striking that China and India both also feature in the top 10 countries with obesity in men.
"The release of the data has been accompanied by calls from health campaigners for the government to do more to tackle unhealthy eating and obesity."

According to a study, the researcher estimates that more than 27 million people in the United States living with type 2 diabetes. As the population ages and a growing percentage of people become overweight or obese, that number is expected to increase. A potential new approach for treating diabetes by protecting beta cells the cells in the pancreas that produce, store and release the hormone insulin. The study was published in Cell.
When beta cells become dysfunctional, the body can't make insulin to control blood sugar (glucose), and levels of glucose can rise to dangerous even fatal levels. The investigators accomplished their goal by using an unexpected source: vitamin D. Vitamin D in cells and mouse models proved beneficial in treating damaged beta cells. It also provided new insights into gene regulation that could be applied to developing treatments for other diseases, including cancer.
Using beta cells created from embryonic stem cells, the investigators were able to identify a compound, iBRD9, that appeared to enhance the activation of the vitamin D receptor when it was combined with vitamin D to improve the survival of beta cells. The team accomplished this by conducting a screening test to look for compounds that improved the survival of beta cells.
"This study started out by looking at the role of vitamin D in beta cells," says Zong Wei. Epidemiological studies in patients have suggested a correlation between high vitamin D concentrations in the blood and a lower risk of diabetes, but the underlying mechanism was not well understood. Protecting beta cells with the vitamin alone has been hard. We now have some ideas about how we might be able to take advantage of this connection."
The underlying process has to do with transcription the way that genes are translated into proteins. Combining the new compound with vitamin D allowed certain protective genes to be expressed at much higher levels than they are in diseased cells. "Activating the vitamin D receptor can trigger the anti-inflammatory function of genes to help cells survive under stressed conditions," says Michael Downes.
By using a screening system that we developed in the lab, they have been able to identify an important piece of that puzzle that allows for super-activation of the Vitamin D pathway. The discovery's implications can have far-reaching implications: It identifies a basic mechanism that can be translated into drugging many different targets in the clinic.
In this study, they looked at diabetes, but because this is an important receptor it could potentially be universal for any treatments where you need to boost the effectiveness of vitamin D. For example, they are especially interested in looking at it in pancreatic cancer, which is a disease that our lab already studies.
The investigators say that, although the new compound did not appear to cause any side effects in the mice, further testing is needed before clinical trials can begin.

This IT company is planning to gift Mercedes-Benz to top performers
Mercedes-Benz logo (Reuters)
2 min read . Updated: 21 Jul 2021, 03:04 PM IST Edited By Aparna Banerjea
The company had given 50 Mercedes Benz cars to top performers in 2013 as well
Meanwhile, the Noida-headquartered company had announced that it will hire 20,000-22,000 freshers this year, up 50% from what the company hired in the last financial year
It's raining perks in the information technology sector as IT firms eye to retain in-house talent during attrition. In this context, top IT services firm HCL tech recently announced that is planning to give Mercedes-Benz cars to top performers, according to a report.
HCL Technologies Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) Apparao VV said the proposal is with the board for approval, according to a Times of India report. The company had given out 50 Mercedes Benz cars to top performers in 2013, but later discontinued the practice.

"Replacement hiring cost is 15% to 20% higher. Hence, we are actively participating in skilling our full force. If you need a Java developer, you will get them at the same price point, but a cloud professional can't be hired at the same price point," he said, as per the TOI report.
Meanwhile, during the earnings call for the first quarter of FY22, HCL Technologies had announced that it will hire 20,000-22,000 freshers this year, up 50% from what the company hired in the last financial year. The IT firm will also roll out salary increments effective 1 July to retain talents as attrition rises.
"There is an increase in attrition but if you see the rate of increase in attrition we are probably best among the peers. We are doing a lot of intervention in terms of engagement. and we believe that we will be able to a reasonable attrition rate over the next three quarters," Apparao VV added in the earnings call update.
At the end of the June 2021 quarter, the Noida-headquartered company had 1,76,499 employees with a net addition of 7,522 people. Its attrition for IT services (on last 12-month basis) was at 11.8%, the company said.
Apart from retaining employees and avoid rising attrition, some companies are also offering major perks and referral bonuses to new joinees as they aim to aggressively increase employee headcount.
One among them is fintech start-up BharatPe, which, in a bid to aggressively expand its 'Tech Team' by almost three times by FY22, is offering several joining and referral perks to techies who would apply.

"The company, that is planning to launch a slew of products in the merchant and consumer lending space, will be tripling the strength of its Technology Team and hiring 100 more members," BharatPe said in a statement.
Among the perks are 'Bike Package' and 'Gadget Package', where the joinees can choose either of the two. The Bike package has 5 bikes as options – BMW G310R, Jawa Perak, KTM Duke 390, KTM RC 390 and Royal Enfield Himalayan. The gadget package includes - Apple iPad Pro (with Pencil), Bose Headphone, Harman Kardon Speaker, Samsung Galaxy Watch, WFH desk and chair, and Firefox Typhoon 27.5 D bicycle.

Ongoing excavations at Sedeinga, a 2,000-year-old necropolis in northern Sudan, have uncovered the remains of at least 35 densely-clustered pyramid burials – and an inscription asking the gods to 'take care of Granny'.
Identified by the French Archaeological Mission, the pyramids were built as part of a burial ground probably containing several hundred monuments, during the Kushite kingdom of Meroe, who shared a border with ancient Egypt. Pottery and artefacts recovered from some of the graves suggest that most of the structures developed between the 1st century BC and the 2nd-3rd centuries AD, while the first monuments might have appeared around the 5th century BC.
Although most of the burials have been robbed, some reveal that their occupants were laid to rest in shrouds, wooden coffins or on funerary beds, accompanied by a diverse range of grave goods.
Among the inscriptions found in the remains of the pyramids and their chapels, the team discovered a funerary stela with a prayer written in the Meroitic language. The text invokes Egyptian gods to look after 'Aba-la', thought to be an affectionate nickname for 'Grandmother'.
While the pyramids' external appearance points to Egyptian influence, however, many of the monuments have an unusual internal circular structure, with only one example known from outside the site.
'We thought that this could symbolise the solar disc, but it could also be an innovation, merging the layout of an Egyptian pyramid with that of the local sub-Saharan tumulus,' said Vincent.

Q: blank screen forever trying to switch users on Linux Mint 16 Petra (often) Our netbook running Mint 16 (all up-to-date) has two users.  Since first installing, we have run into two very similar problems going Menu -> Log Out -> Switch User, or going Menu -> System Tools -> New Login, although sometimes it works as expected and just brings one either to the login menu you get on bootup, or asks for the password for the other user.
CASE 1: Sometimes the screen goes all black, no cursor or anything, and will remain that way I suppose forever (longest I left it was 15 minutes one time).  I can go Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get a text console and then (without logging in) Ctrl+Alt+F7 to return to the GUI, at which point it seems to break out of whatever it was stuck in, but rather than a login menu or password for the other user, it asks for the password for the user I was trying to switch from.  So I have to enter that password and then try switching again, which usually works.
CASE 2: Like CASE 1, but switching back to the GUI with Ctrl+Alt+F7 does not help anything: that screen remains blank no matter how much switching I do.  Very occasionally, the F7 screen actually is in text mode rather than GUI, and might have some messages on it.  (The last time this happened, the message was something about a wrong MAC address, and it kept repeating every couple seconds or so.  The computer had been in sleep mode, or attempted to be--had its lid shut, which is configured to Suspend with the lid shut on AC power--and had been reawakened by opening the lid then hitting Ctrl, and a few seconds later had attempted to switch users via the New Login method, with the other user not being logged in.)
I have this happen maybe 1/3 - 1/2 of the time.  So far I can't figure out what conditions make it more or less likely to happen.  It doesn't seem to make a difference if the other user is already logged in or not.  The "New Login" way seems to work well more often than the "Switch User" way.
I guess my question is twofold: is there a way to just make it always work the way it should?  If not, what commands would I need to run from the console to fix CASE 2 so that when this happens I don't end up having to restart the computer and lose all my open programs and such, which takes a long time on an HP Mini 1101 and is generally annoying to the other person I wanted to borrow the computer from for a moment?

Hey all, as we all know Cisco, Dell, HP make it quite difficult to find out the exact specs on the SSDs that they use as they mark up the price 3-6x easily as they are usually rebranded drives.
We are considering going SuperMicro because of this reason so that I know exactly how many IOPS/Read/Write/DWPD/etc. I am getting.
On my Dell quote it says " 800GB Solid State Drive SAS Mix Use MLC 12Gbps 2.5in Hot-plug Drive,13G" , but I am having trouble finding out any details about it and Dell is unsure themselves.
I think it might be a Seagate or HGST but the Dell guy doesn't think so, so I am not sure.
Anyone here what the specs are? Thanks in advance.
Dell loves using the new HGST SAS3 models across the board. Almost positive it would be one of these if you ordered that product. We've seen the read-focused model (MR) pop up in the new entry level Compellent array. The awesome part is these SSDs are some of the fastest on the market.
I can't say with 100% certainty that it would be that if they multi-source that model, but that is what we've seen come up.
Dell just told me it is the Seagate - ST800FM0013.
They say its either one of the below Seagate 1200 drives...but don't know which one for sure, really hoping its the 43 one as it seems faster!


I also think that pursued -> hunted would sound more natural in English.
the original is "poisoned", so I've chosen "pursued" because it looks similar.
But no native speaker of English would ever say it that way. "pursued" is just French for "hunted", and the rules when to pick which are rather arbitrary. You don't "pursue" an animal unless you're Ahab hunting the white whale. If you just want to catch it so you can eat it, you "hunt" it.
No, one cannot be "preyed". One can be "preyed upon" or "become prey", but these have different meanings.
I think that this depends on the species. And it's also a question of cultural perspective, as Atlanteans also don't eat horses or unsmoked fish.
The point from my perspective is Atlanteans don't eat horses due to their culture or taste but horses can be eaten. So a lore stating something technically wrong in an explizit way (i.e. Spiders cannot be eaten) somehow doesn't feel right to me.
Maybe the Atlantean spiders cannot be eaten actually, who knows.
How would it fit with spidercloth instead?
I prefer "spiders" because i think that its funnier.
From my perspective the fun comes from the clear reference to the Slogan of the 80's. I already imagined a fish breeder with a sticker of this Slogan attached to his back. For me thinking of eating Spiders isn't funny due to being not obscene.
One meaning of obscene is "disgusting", and probably most people think that it's disgusting to eat spiders.
And for the source I would suggest "prophecy of an old fish breeder", because prophecies are generally made by an individual.
This would be also okay. I searched a translation of the "Weissagung der Cree" and found only "Cree Indian prophecy", so I changed it to "Fish Breeder prohecy", to be as close as possible to the original.
According to Wikipedia this is a false cite anyhow.
Yes, but most people think that this is correct.
Okay, as I am going to start the Lore branch I'd like to see some agreemant on this.
So here is my next attempt.
"Only after the last deer has been shot down / Only after the last wisent has been put to death / Only after the last fish has been caught / Then will you find that spiders are not to be eaten."
I like it and would vote for "Spinnen nicht essen will" instead of "Spinnen nicht essen soll/will"
If you wish to put an Elch to death, you should go for elk or moose. Wisent is Wisent in German.
And I would translate it with "…, dass man Spinnen nicht essen kann."
The rest I consider acceptable (to use your own word).
I don't think, we have to stay too close to the original to get the reference to the reader.
Hi Venatrix, I used the expression " are not to be eaten" to avoid " can't be eaten" as discussed before in this thread. (technically Spiders should be a very good proteine source).
Therfore I would like ".. nicht essen soll" but i can live with " ... nicht essen will". I am still uncomfortable with ".. nicht essen kann".
So I would go for elk in the original to keep the "Elch" in German. and I would vote for " .. nicht essen will" in the translation which can only be done after the branch is merged into trunk.
Actually, Elch is "moose" in American English. I even have a open branch for this.
I now added it using "game" instead of wisent as it has the correct number of syllables in english and in german. Is this ok for everybody?

I'll start with a brief intro. My name is Kelly, I admit that I know and respect the terrible power of depression but I am not depressed anymore. I feel very lucky about this. I started taking St. John's Wort (SJW) almost 20 years ago and soon after started this website to get the word out because it helped me through some pretty dark days. I still take SJW but only a small dose and only every few days (300mg), that's all I need. I truly believe this natural herb has great properties for treating many types of depression. It works for most people but not everybody, so fortunately there are all sorts of other good options out there too.
I have a smart and loving wife, a smart and funny daughter and a fun dog that all keep me busy. My family, my work and the joys and frustrations of life keep me away from the forum from time to time. Today I live a happy life that is not without challenges but is rewarding nonetheless. I try to be a better person every day but still make mistakes all the time. I still regret some things that I've done but I try to improve and learn from my mistakes. I mismanaged this forum over time and I regret that too, and then a terrible software upgrade to vBulletin 5 caused major problems and made the forum not work correctly so it turned people away for several years. To try and redeem myself I've spend many, many hours over the past month converting all the posts to the new software and getting everything working again. I hope everyone will come back and new people will find us and join the forum too, so we can continue to offer a wealth of information written by people from all around the world.
We all have at least one thing in common that brought us here. Let's talk about it anonymously and offer each other some support.
Hello. Haven't started using SJW yet but reading as much as I can about what to possibly expect. I am very nervous about taking any kind of pill as I have experienced overwhelming effects from them. Reading the negative reviews keeps me from giving it a try. I havedaily mood swings and I just keep waiting for my moods to somehow level out on their own, like just enduring a headache until it subsides. Having panic attacks years ago was a total turning point for me. Previously I'd never experienced a bodily sensation that rendered me terrified. When you have these episodes over and over and have no control over stopping them or preventing them from occurring, it becomes a fear obsession. I am afraid of any drug now. I bought some SJW after my sister told me she finds it really helps her. I have the unopened bottle sitting right here next to my bed. Maybe one day I'll get courageous and swallow one and see what happens.
Hi and welcome. I think it's perfectly normal to be apprehensive about taking any kind of pill. Reading everything you can helps... if you read about prescription meds the negative reviews of those tend to be much worse. I had a horrible experience with Paxil many years back. At least SJW has fewer and much less severe side-effects. It really helped me. It does take a little while to start working so if you swallow one don't expect miracles the first day or two, give it time.
If you decide to try SJW sometime you could start with a much lower amount, like 1/3 of the recommended and see how that goes. Or here's an idea, you could also try a St. John's Wort tea to start since it's very mild. Some people like how it tastes, others don't like the taste at all. Personally I don't like how it tastes at all. But it's an easy way to try it out. And some people just don't like pills. You can find liquid extracts with a dropper that you could put in juice or coffee.
How long ago it was and at just the right time that I found this brilliant site . It was so long ago that we were traveling "the information superhighway", invented by Al Gore.
At that time, finding your site affirmed for me that St. John's Wort was worth trying. I took it , and day 1 , felt much better. I took at that time 3 capsules/300mg each a health store brand. This brand (Now)was good at first, but I think they changed the formula( and kept raising the price), and it stopped working for me after about a year.
Later--this century-- I took Perika for a year. It also worked very well for me, but towards the end of using it I started to have episodic flashes of vertigo--like briefly in the grocery store once, so I stepped myself down and off it and the vertigo disappeared . The Perika had done it's good work by then and my depression was gone.
The last few years I have used SJW drops ( Herb Pharm) on occasion, though not with consistency. One time i took them consistently for a couple days only, and then , while taking our dog for a walk, had some kind of anxiety/low blood sugar event walking around the block. It could have been related to poor sleep/insomnia/apnea/grief--any of the these or a combo at the time. It went away when I had something to eat and drink/breakfast.
For the last week and 2 days I have been taking 3 SJW/300 per day; all at bedtime this first week. the last 2 days, I have taken a tablet mid-morning and 2 at night, but I'm finding they make me sleepy if taken during the day-- am thinking will be tweaking the dosage timing this week; am using Nature's Bounty.
From my experience SJW definitely, when used consistently at the average recommended dosage DOES work a treat on anxiety/ is an anxiolitic. Also, when I take my SJW before bed with a warm cup of fizzy magnesium citrate beverage and a small shot of orange juice on the side, sleep almost through the night currently, or at least until having to get up and use the biff ( I'm 66 now), then am able to fall back asleep, which is a tremendous boon in dealing with PTSD at night.
I do know taking St. John's Wort is also a subjective experience. For me finding this truly good site has been an answer to prayer.
Thank you so much, Kelly, for faithfully manning this lighthouse all these years. And thank you all for sharing your experiences on these pages and please keep posting. I will post again later. Blessings !
Hi Ambler! Thanks for coming back after all these years and posting on the forum! It's great to hear from you and to hear about your experiences. I still remember Al Gore's coining of the "information superhighway" and it still makes me giggle... that and Ted Kennedy's comments about how the internet is "a series of tubes" which is even funnier.... ah how the internet has changed over the years.
Someone else mentioned problems with vertigo a few weeks back, something I hadn't heard before but it must be a more common side effect than I thought. I agree taking St. John's Wort is a subjective experience. The sources of depression and anxiety are so varied and complex that by nature the remedy must be subjective.
I've never tried drops before but I've heard they can be quite effective. How did you find them versus taking capsules/tablets? Is it easy to measure how much you're taking?
It's nice to hear you're doing well... and that you took the time to write here. Thank you so much and hope you post more later!

Q: nginx with Django Support on Elastic Beanstalk Is it correct that by default Elastic Beanstalk does not support nginx with Django (or Python): this FAQ lists nginx support for Nodes.js but not for Python.
There are a few posts on the internet that DO talk about adding support: here and here but one uses a custom AMI and the other uses Fabric to go in an manually set up the box. Both of these solutions seem to call into question use of EB and PaaS as opposed to just using AWS/EC2.
My question is, what is the best way to use nginx with Django on EB?

A: IMHO the best way is to document a manual installation and then port that to Elastic Beanstalk's .ebextensions.
Example:
.ebextensions/01_packages.config
packages:

  rpm:
    epel: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-2.noarch.rpm

  yum:
    nginx: []

Then you use the other container commands to create your config files, install any remaining packages and run custom scripts.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 23,2020
Hannibal Free Public Library is closed to Walk-In Service beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, November 24th. The Library will expand Curbside Pickup Service hours to Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Patrons can request books and other materials by placing holds in the library's online catalog, by messaging the library through Facebook or the online catalog, by calling the Library at 573-221-0222, or by sending an email to ref@hannibal.lib.mo.us. To place holds or update library cards, patrons can call the Library on Monday or Tuesday from 9:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m., and Wednesday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Patrons who do not have library cards or have lost their cards should call the Library to complete a temporary registration over the phone. The Library's wi-fi extends into the parking lot, so people with laptops and devices may access it from their vehicles.
After a hold is placed, Library staff will search the collection, find the items, call the patron, and check out the item to the patron. A time slot will be designated. Patrons who discover later that they cannot pick up their items in the agreed time slot are asked to call the Library to make other arrangements. The Library requests 48 hours turnaround but can often fill holds more rapidly. Curbside Pickup Service will be provided at the back of the building through the fire door. Staff will bring items to patrons' cars on the passenger side during reserved time periods. Patrons should return books and other materials in the exterior book drop located at the west side of the building at 200 South Church Street. The Library will quarantine returned materials for a week before checking them in and returning them to circulation.
The decision to return to Curbside Pickup Service only was made because Marion and Ralls Counties are in COVID Category 1. "None of us liked making this decision. It seemed to be the best way to keep the public and Library staff safe while still providing materials to check out. The decision will be revisited on a weekly basis, per DHSS's Public Health Warning," Library Director Hallie Yundt Silver said.
For more information about Curbside Pickup Service and other library resources, patrons are encouraged to call Hannibal Free Public Library, visit the library's website, or like the Library on Facebook.

Applications Open for Seven Full-Time Lakota Language Learners
The three-year pilot program is run by REDCO and has the goal of revitalizing the critically endangered Lakota language
For Release: December 13, 2021
SICANGU MAKOCE, Oceti Sakowin – The Rosebud Economic Development Corporation (REDCO) announced that it is seeking applicants for a new language preservation initiative designed to eliminate barriers for citizens to become fluent Lakota speakers. Lakolya Waoniya — "Breathing Life into the Lakota Language" — is a three-year, paid holistic development experience centered on developing Lakota language fluency and strengthening Lakota lifeways for future generations.
"Every Lakota person I've ever talked to wants to know and speak their language," said Christina Johnston, the Project Manager for Lakolya Waoniya. "We all know that carrying on the language is necessary to maintain Lakota traditions and way of life, but learning a language is very time consuming and most people can't afford to quit their job and dedicate themselves to being full-time learners. This program allows people to learn while continuing to receive a salary and benefits."
Surveys conducted on the Rosebud Reservation have quantified the urgency behind preservation efforts. "The Rosebud Sioux Tribe has only a few hundred fluent speakers, and most of them are elders," said Johnston. "With the COVID pandemic many Lakota relatives have been lost, especially our elders. It's scary to think that within a generation or two there may not be any fluent Lakota speakers if we don't come together and take drastic action."
The program is initially open only to enrolled citizens of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe age 18 and over. Applicants must have a passion for language preservation, reside on or near the Rosebud Reservation, be able to pass a background check, and be available Monday through Friday for six hours per day for programming. After applications close on January 21st the interview process will begin. Candidates who pass an initial screening will then be placed into a pool of eligible participants and seven participants will then be chosen from that pool by a random lottery.
Programming and instruction are scheduled to begin in spring of 2022 and the students will have the opportunity to choose their teacher after interviews and sample lessons from each candidate, who will be a fluent speaker. REDCO has also launched a community survey to gather input that will shape the way that participants are selected and how they are taught. Additionally, the program will continue to solicit input from spiritual and cultural experts to shape the program.
Leaders of Lakolya Waoniya hope that the program starts to change the way society views language learning and preservation. "We made the decision to house this initiative under our Human Resources department, because we see this as professional development and building our workforce," said Sarah Hart, Human Resources Director for REDCO. "This isn't a fellowship. This is about the survival of our language, culture, and economy."
For more information, or to find a link to the application or community input survey visit www.sicangucorp.com/lakolya.
You can also watch this conversation with Christina Johnston that discusses the project and the journey that has led her to this project.
About the Rosebud Economic Development Corporation

Fell Foot Park
Ambleside Oral History Group
Woods of Haslingden
Robert Smail's Printing Works
Creative Practitioning
Blackwell the Arts & Crafts House
The Blackwell Project
The Fell Foot Park Oral History Project began with a training session from Ros Livshin of the Oral History Society in October 2018 and will culminate in an exhibition and visitor interpretation in October 2020.
The session was the start of a two-year project focusing on the recent social history of the property. Historically, Fell Foot was owned by a succession of wealthy industrialists and business people until it was gifted to the National Trust in 1948. It was leased out until 1969 and during the time of this lease it operated as a caravan and camping site, as well as being an open air destination for day trippers.
In 1961, South Windermere Sailing Club had its inaugural meeting at Fell Foot and still operates from the newly completed Active Base centre. In 1972 nineteen self-contained chalets were built and were operational alongside other accommodation until 1992.
Interviewees are people who visited Fell Foot as holidaymakers in addition to several current staff members who have had ties with Fell Foot for many years.
Helena liaises with a number of Fell Foot staff, providing input to project planning meetings and actioning decisions taken at these meetings. She also has links with other stakeholders who have an interest in the project. She gets in touch with potential interviewees and is the first point of contact for anyone interested in the project.
She schedules interviews with fellow OHS-trained volunteers, secures the appropriate permissions and takes an active role in interviewing participants either at Fell Foot, in their homes or by Skype. She is responsible for uploading interviews and paperwork securely, ensuring GDPR complicity, and compiling and updating the interview spreadsheet for eventual British Library transfer of oral histories.
As part of the project, Helena has redecorated and fitted out one of the three remaining chalets in a 1970s style and this is where the majority of the oral history interviews take place. She has sourced items for the chalet from various places, including charity shops, Freegle and online secondhand stores.

Pre-holiday DUI roundup sends unlucky 13 to jail
By Becky Pallack
Thirteen people went to jail on Thanksgiving Eve as part of a new crackdown on drunken driving.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department went looking for 85 people on Wednesday and caught nine wanted on warrants for felony driving under the influence, two wanted on misdemeanor DUI warrants and two sought on other misdemeanor warrants, Sgt. Karl Woolridge said.
It will be up to a judge which offenders have to stay in jail for the holiday, Woolridge said, because some of the arrestees have violated probation or skipped court dates.
The roundup was part of the Sheriff's Department's annual holiday DUI campaign.
"The felony DUI offenders we arrested today are not getting the message," Woolridge said. "These are the ones driving drunk with their kids in the car, driving on suspended licenses, repeating offenses, hurting and killing people - and we want them off the streets."
Officers with the Southern Arizona DUI Task Force will be looking for drunken drivers every Friday and Saturday though New Year's Eve. There also will be sobriety checkpoints during the holidays on streets where alcohol-related crashes and deaths have occurred. The next checkpoints will be set up on the next two Saturday nights, Woolridge said.
In Arizona, Thanksgiving is the deadliest holiday when it comes to fatal crashes, and many are caused by drunken drivers, said Sgt. Ed Slechta, Task Force president.
"If you want to drink and drive, we want to take you to some bars called the Pima County jail," he said.
During the 2004 holiday season, task-force officers arrested 417 motorists on drunken-driving charges. In
