For as long as humans have been able to communicate, they have been trying to figure out exactly what is going on "up there." This has resulted in a lot of interesting, but pretty inaccurate and outmoded, theories about space throughout history. These outdated beliefs about space, which attempt to explain just how the Earth is interacting with the cosmos, are surprisingly varied, and some of the weirdest aren't as old as you might think. In fact, some of them are still believed in remote parts of the world. We may have a much better idea of the makeup of the universe now, but some of these old-fashioned attempts at astronomy are cooler than the truth.
Hildegard von Bingen was one of the most industrious people of the Middle Ages, period. She was a Benedictine abbess who is often credited as being the founder of natural history in Germany. She was also a writer, composer, philosopher, and receiver of religious visions. For all of her innovating, Pope Benedict XVI named her a Doctor of the Catholic Church in 2012. She proposed that the cosmos were arranged into a fiery cosmic egg. It sounds pretty scary, but Hildegard saw it is a reflection of God's vision – the egg of the cosmos followed a divine patterning. The outermost layer of the egg is fire, representing purification and judgement; the next layer is ethereal firmament, which signifies faith; the next is water, the element for baptism; and finally, there's the Earth itself, which is made up of four elements.
The Ancient Egyptians' view of space had something in common with Hildegard von Bingen's fiery, cosmic egg theory: the idea that the world is surrounded by a layer of water. This "eternal water" was the habitation of the goddess Nut, and, beneath the Earth, a parallel netherworld known as Duat, home to both the good and the cursed, existed. In addition to this set up, the Egyptians attached a special significance to the dung beetle. They saw the dung balls from which young beetles emerged as representative of the always shifting and spherical sun and felt that the seemingly spontaneous birth of these scarabs was like that of the first God, Atum. But the importance of the dung beetle went beyond allegory; they also believed that Earth itself was being rolled by a giant, invisible dung beetle, which explained the changes in the sky at night. At least they got the rotation part right.
There were many conflicting theories about the cosmos in Ancient China. One popular theory was known as "gaitian," or "Canopy Heaven." Named after the round-roofed style of chariots at the time, those who aligned themselves with this proposed theory believed that the Earth was a cube, surrounded by the spherical heavens. It is believed that this theory inspired the common Chinese iconography of a square within a circle.
There are many references to the structure of the cosmos in the Old Testament. The Hebrews imagined the universe as a dome structure, with a metal firmament separating the waters of Heaven from the Earthly sphere. In this conception, Earth itself rests on primeval waters, held up by pillars. The idea of the cosmos as water was one that could be found all over the ancient world at the time.
Some cosmic patterns are regional, and specific cultures and places have unique ways of understanding those patterns. Many Native societies, for example, see direct linkages between cosmic patterns and natural phenomena on Earth. For their part, the Barasana people of the Amazon have named a group of stars the "Caterpillar Jaguar." As this constellation rises in the sky, they believe that the number of caterpillars on Earth rises to meet this father caterpillar. In reality, this is a coincidence, due to the rotation of the Earth and the seasonal needs and development patterns of caterpillars.
Way back in the 8th century BCE, the pervading belief among the archaic Greeks was that the Earth was a domed island surrounded by a primordial river called "Ocean." In this mode of thought, Ocean was like a vast outer rim that formed a shield-like structure for the Earth. The waters beyond the Ocean that they could see were, to the archaic Greeks, essentially infinite, and they feared this unknown, limitless expanse.
Ancient Greek philosophers and astronomers had many incredibly complex theories about space. Most of them dealt with the question of whether or not the universe was finite. If the universe ended, that meant that there was nothingness outside of it, a complete void. This concept of an Earth and Heavens surrounded by a void was quite popular. The Stoic philosophers, however, believed that the universe was one pulsing, cyclical being, and therefore could not have voids within it, just as humans cannot have voids within them. They believed that there was a kind of "breath" or tension holding the cosmos together, and an empty void would tear it apart.
In the late 19th century, the concept of a "Luminiferous Aether" became quite popular. At the time, scientists were unable to explain how light waves could travel through voids because of the understanding of waves at the time. Newton, in particular, found it inconceivable that bodies in space could move and act upon one another without any physical substance connecting them; that would've run in the face of scientific explanations for action, reaction, and moving bodies. Thus, scientists postulated that the universe was filled with some kind of invisible substance through which light, electricity, and magnetism traveled, and this infinite material channeled but did not interact with the physical universe. They called this substance "Luminiferous Aether." This theory became less and less prevalent as scientific understanding of light waves improved and people got tired of trying to prove something that they could not see.
Some cultures see the stars as Earth-like natural structures, separating the two worlds of Heaven and Earth. The Misminay people of the Andes see the Milky Way as an actual river in the sky, feeding water between the Heavenly and Earthly spheres. Because of their location, the Milky Way crosses over the village twice in one day, quartering it, which further indicates the divine utility of the structure.

Prefab homes on stilts include solar panels, water collection systems and organic gardens
under Architecture, Prefab Housing, Solar Power
Bali-based architect Alexis Dornier has unveiled a beautiful, eco-friendly concept for a series of prefabricated homes that are elevated off the landscape by stilts. The Stilt Studios come in a variety of sizes, from one-story to multi-level, all raised above the ground to reduce the structures' impact. Additionally, the prefab design, which can be easily disassembled and moved to new locations, includes a number of sustainable features, such as solar power and integrated rainwater collection systems.
According to the architect, inspiration for the Stilt Studios came from a problematic housing issue common in Bali. "The reality here is that we often find leasehold plots with a limited amount of years," explained the German architect, who currently resides in Bali. "This situation calls for us to tread lightly through prefab 'PropTech' structures that could be packed up and re-erected someplace else."

Accordingly, the concept calls for prefab building system, which would allow the units to be installed by families who are in need of extra space. The homes could also be used as rental units for extra income. The structures would come in a number of sizes as well, depending on the owners' needs.
The homes would be made out of steel frameworks initially, but Dornier hopes to build additional models out of CLT paneling. Other sustainable features to the design are plentiful, with solar arrays on the roof to generate energy, large roof overhangs to reduce solar heat gain on the interior and a built-in rainwater harvesting system to reuse water. Wide, open doorways and large windows would also promote natural air ventilation. The concept envisions families growing their own organic food underneath the buildings.

De post van minister van Nationaal Onderwijs (Frans: Ministre de l'Éducation nationale) ontstond in 1802, maar kende tot de naamsaanvaarding van ministre de l'Instruction publique in 1828 diverse benamingen. Tijdens de negentiende eeuw was het eerder regel dan uitzondering dat de post van minister van Onderwijs werd gecombineerd met de posten minister van Schone Kunsten (tot 1932) en deze van minister van Kerkelijke Zaken. Echter, in geval dat de minister van Onderwijs een Protestant was, mocht hij geen minister van Kerkelijke Zaken zijn (post afgeschaft in 1912). Later werd de post van minister van Onderwijs ook gecombineerd met de posten van minister van Sport en minister van Jeugdzaken. Tijdens de ambtsperiode van president Valéry Giscard d'Estaing (1974-1981) kreeg het ministerie zijn huidige naam.

Great vibe, enthusiastic volunteers and staff made for a warm and welcome stay.
Comfortable, plenty of common rooms and nice rooftop.
Excellent experience. Very helpful and kind staff.
They run a hostel that is good for interacting with other travellers. A nice place to go back to in the evening.
The best you can get for the amount of money. But do not forget, it is a hostel, not a hotel.
We had a very good experience except for the breakfast that we paid for. It wasn't all that was promised.
Good location in the city centre of Tiberias. The kitchen is big and very well equipped. There is a roof terrace with a nice view. The dorms are a bit old-fashioned, unfortunately (old & unstable bunk beds, shortage of plugs). Sheets not really clean. Bathrooms are functional. On the up side, the hostel organises really fun bar events in a nearby Kibbutz.
The location was really different to find and parking was a huge pain. Otherwise the facilities were clean and there was lots of hot water (which other hostels can say). It's close to the beach and downtown.

So when a routine workers' compensation case suddenly leads her and her two young assistants onto the killer's trail, Lizzy revels in the chase. She is determined to bring this psychopath to justice before he has the chance to claim another victim. She never imagines he could be two steps ahead, watching her every move and plotting his bloodiest, most triumphant conquest of all.

A Dark MindbyT.R.RaganMy " in a nutshell" summary...A crazed serial killer is killing all sorts of couples.My thoughts after reading this book...Totally creeped out after reading this book...but a good creeped out. I believe that this is the third Lizzy Gardner novel...but it's really not necessary to have read any of the others before this one. Lizzy is recovering from past issues...she is living with her FBI boyfriend and is immersed in her career. Unfortunately her investigative work lines her up to be in close proximity with the weird serial killer who is taking couples, doing horrific things to them and escaping...so far.The killer...deemed the Lovebird Killer...has an awful backstory that only makes him even creepier...and seriously...he is creepy enough! He is smart, evil, and determined...to hurt others and Lizzy. Did I say he was creepy...bears mentioning again! Lol...What I Loved About This Book...Love is not a word I should use on this intense book...my feelings about this book were these...once I started it...it was so good I could not put it down...but there were so many parts that made me want to put it down...but I knew that I wouldn't be able to until I found out everything that was going on in sicko Lovebird's head.What I Did Not Love About This Book...Oh my...I despised all of the horrible things that the " bad guy" did! Especially the way he threatened his former teacher.Final Thoughts...Whew! Fast paced, chilling, perfect as a last days of summer beach book. Just don't read this alone!
thelibraryhag
In this third book in the series, Lizzy becomes involved in the search for a serial killer when one of her clients is killed. The woman's husband has been arrested for the murder, but Lizzy is sure that she was another victim of the "Lovebird Killer". This story was really good. Lizzy continues to grow away from her dark past, although it is always there. And the killer is interesting and pretty smart. The stories of some of the other characters advance also. Hayley in particular has to face a lot. Starting the next one soon.
darcia_10
This is a difficult book for me to review. The writing is engaging, but the book as a whole just didn't work for me.The book is broken into relatively short scenes, jumping back and forth in time, with a ton of POV characters. Victims long since dead in the current time have POV parts on and off throughout. People that could be minor characters have many POV scenes. Everyone has a story here, which overshadows what should have been Lizzy's story. Consequently, it all felt disjointed and didn't flow in a way I could relax into. Each scene is well written and, on its own, would rate a 4- or even 5-star read for me. But, put together, it's a bumpy and chaotic ride.

Composed of a variety of environments, this beautiful new building was outfitted with aesthetically pleasing yet highly functional furnishings. Hon's Accomplish and Motivate lines met the needs of all by allowing staff the flexibility to organize their space in a range of ways, from traditional rows to small group learning stations and provided excellent durability, even in areas of heavy use. In the multipurpose area, National's Swift lounge seating was incorporated and offered a cohesive modern feel. Administration was also pleased to see that the unified look was carried over into the private offices with case goods from Hon's sleek Park Avenue Veneer Collection.

In Uganda, Riek and his fellow schoolmates are kidnapped by rebel forces and taken to a training camp where they are forced to work and train as soldiers. Whilst on a mission Riek's mutant power kicks in, and he is able to make everything else move in slow motion by slowing his heartbeat. He kills the soldiers who are attacking them and is hailed a hero. One of the boys later tells him that he has the power to escape, and after attacking the leader for hitting on a kidnapped girl, he runs away. He is found by members of the UPDF who take him to a center for traumatized children, however the believe him to be a rebel and plan to treat him as such. Riek escapes in a jeep and heads back to the rebel training camp. On arriving he concentrates and slows his heartbeat to use his powers over time to kill the rebels with their own guns while they are not moving. However this time, the world around him not only moves slower but entirely stops, and he realizes that this means that his heart must have stopped as well. The other kidnapped children find his dead body.
Riek Bukenya is 13 years old and lives in Uganda. He doesn't consider himself smart and his heart races because he believes the teacher, Mr. Muwhezi, will ask him questions. Suddenly they are attacked by Rebels; after they kill his teacher, Riek and the other students are led out at gunpoint and forced to march. They are forced into a van which takes them to a training camp where the boys and girls are separated. The boys are trained to use guns, and Riek wonders what happens to the girls. Some of the boys listen, but Riek doesn't and gets his ear cut off for his trouble. After that day he does as he is told. He hates himself and the world for changing so much.
After 6 weeks of training and working things change again. He is trapped by Ugandan People's Defense Forces, and he knows that he is going to die and closes his eyes. He opens his eyes again and finds everything is moving in slow motion except him. Riek moves fast and kills all the UPDF soldiers becoming a hero amongst his comrades.
The boss is talking to reporters who ask about the young teenagers in the camps who participate in the fighting. The boss tells the American journalist that they don't have a choice as they are no adults left to fight, but in many ways the youths are better than adults as they are willing to take more risks.
At night Riek is trying to sleep in the tent with all the other boys on the ground. Next to him a boy called Joseph points out that he knows Riek is different and that he should think of escaping. He could do to the adults of the camp what he did to the soldiers, but Riek doesn't want to kill anyone.
A few days later a new convoy of boys and girls arrives at the camp. They separate the boys and girls and the boss takes a liking to one of the girls. Riek jumps in and tells him to get of the girl. The boss tries to pull his gun but Riek assaults him and takes it away. He concentrates and stays calm so that everything else slows down and he can escape. He runs and doesn't look back.
Riek is later picked up by government soldiers and taken to a center for traumatized children. One of the women that works there tries to help him., however the soldiers return to take him away as he should be treated like the rebel he is. The woman tries to reason with them, but its no use. Yet when they get to his bed, he has gone. Riek escapes in the soldiers jeep. He thinks his family would be ashamed of him if he went to them so he returns to his other home, the camp.
When Riek arrives, the rebels open fire thinking it's the UPDF. Riek stays calm and uses his mutant power to avoid being hit. The men stop firing and can't figure out why there is no-one at the wheel, as Riek is already behind them and again using his power, This time it's different, instead of everything happening in slow motion, the men are not moving at all. Riek starts using their own weapons on them, shooting and stabbing them. He realizes that when his heart slows down, so does the world, so if the world has stopped ...
Riek is lying dead on the floor with some of the children from the camp looking over his body in shock.

The Fool Circle is the twelfth studio album by the Scottish hard rock band Nazareth, released in February 1981. "Cocaine" was a live cover of the song written by J. J. Cale and recorded in 1977 by Eric Clapton. There are remastered editions of the album with different sets of bonus tracks.
Because in 1997 Castle Communications was unwilling to produce a 2-CD set of the double live album 'Snaz, four tracks were removed so that a remastered version could be released on a single CD. Rob Corich, who was doing the remastering, included these songs here as bonus tracks to rectify this.
The Fool Circle is notable for a reggae sound on many of the songs. In an interview bassist Pete Agnew commented: "'Fool Circle' was the nearest we came to making a concept album, trying to inject a bit of humour into a pretty heavy subject. I think the fact that we recorded it on the island of Montserrat might account for a teeny bit of reggae poking its way through."

The early 1960s were a heady time for Catholic laypeople. Pope Pius XII's assurance "You do not belong to the Church. You are the Church" emboldened the laity to challenge Church authority in ways previously considered unthinkable. Empowering the People of God offers a fresh look at the Catholic laity and its relationship with the hierarchy in the period immediately preceding the Second Vatican Council and in the turbulent era that followed. This collection of essays explores a diverse assortment of manifestations of Catholic action, ranging from genteel reform to radical activism, and an equally wide variety of locales, apostolates, and movements.

JEREMY BONNER, JEFFREY M. BURNS and CHRISTOPHER D. DENNY
The early 1960s were a heady time for Catholic laypeople. Almost overnight, it seemed, the winds of change had begun to blow through the corridors of the Vatican, ruffling the feathers of its clerical doorkeepers, while at the same time conveying an assurance to lay leaders throughout the world that the shaping of the Church's future was in their hands. By the close of the decade, a very different vista loomed. "Good" Pope John XXIII had died too soon, and the "progressive" legacy of the Second Vatican Council was repudiated by his "conservative" successor, Paul VI. Such representations—no matter...
PART I: CATHOLIC ACTION
1 Catholic Action in the Archdiocese of New York: The Case of the Catholic Club of New York City
(pp. 21-45)
PATRICK J. HAYES
The roots of Catholic Action in the Archdiocese of New York are to be found in the long nineteenth century.¹ Though evident in some of the works of Pope Leo XIII and Pope Pius X, the parameters of Catholic Action are limned only in specific contexts. Because such early papal writings on the subject were intended largely for Italian audiences, there was no specific aspect of Catholic Action that took on a transalpine character or became universally binding, even among such lay-dominated initiatives as the European Jocist movement in the 1920s, which only gradually made a crossing to America in...
2 The Liturgical Movement and Catholic Action: Women Living the Liturgical Life in the Lay Apostolate
KATHARINE E. HARMON
At the first National Liturgical Week, held at the Cathedral of the Holy Name in Chicago in October 1940, a lively discussion followed Dom Roger Schoenbechler's presentation, "The Priesthood of the Laity and Catholic Action." Paul McGuire, popularlay lecturer and coeditor ofRestoring All Things: A Guide to Catholic Action(1938), came to the floor:
It seems to me that this conference might very well be a turning point in the history of this country, that we might very well see here a beginning to awaken the Catholics of this country to their full responsibility as members of the Mystical...
3 "The Priesthood of the Layman": Catholic Action in the Archdiocese of San Francisco
(pp. 76-106)
WILLIAM ISSEL
"Catholic Action opens up a new world for the zeal of the faithful, a new world wherein they can share in the Apostolate of the Church and cooperate with their pastors and priests in spreading the Kingdom of Christ in individual souls, in families and in society." San Francisco attorney Sylvester Andriano's eager anticipation of a Catholicism revitalized by lay activism followed his return from Rome in September 1938. Cardinal Giuseppe Pizzardo had just approved the plans for Andriano's proposed Catholic Action men's organization, and Andriano shared his enthusiasm at an assembly of laity and clergy called by Archbishop John...
4 From Participation to Community: John Courtney Murray's American Justification for Catholic Action
(pp. 107-122)
Most of the essays in this current volume are written from the perspective of the grassroots, detailing the contrasting strategies that lay Catholics employed to sustain cultural identity, alleviate social problems, and strengthen parochial life in the decades before and after the Second Vatican Council. This chapter is different, for it is a theological portrait of Catholic Action as seen through the writings of a priest who was a member of the Catholic elite. John Courtney Murray (1904–67) was a Jesuit priest who is the consensus choice for the most influential theologian in American Catholic history. Murray is best...
5 Azzione Cattolica in an American Setting: The Society of Saint Charles–Scalabrinians and Catholic Action
MARY ELIZABETH BROWN
This chapter examines two postwar Catholic Action groups, which, though separated by distance, shared a common heritage. Established in parishes founded for Italian immigrants in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, respectively, they drew a significant portion of their membership from those Italians who migrated to the United States during the 1940s and 1950s and brought with them a familiarity with Catholic Action as practiced in Italy. The form of Catholic Action that they developed, however, was less a mechanism of lay empowerment than a means of sustaining an ethnic culture that had largely vanished from the Catholic Church...
PART II: THE PEOPLE OF GOD
6 Relevant Transformations: The Young Women of the Extension Lay Volunteers, 1961–1971
ELIZABETH DUCLOS-ORSELLO
In the oppressive heat of mid-August, 1968, in Chicago, just days before the opening of that year's infamous Democratic National Convention, nearly one hundred twenty young American women finalized preparations for what would be a life-changing experience. In days they would be putting their training, education, and convictions to the test as they set forth to face some of the most pressing social concerns of the day and to manifest deeply held beliefs about social justice, social change, and the need to be part of something larger than themselves. Among these recent college graduates were Ruth Poochigian, a sociology and...
7 Reaching Out to the People of God: The Implications of Renewal for the Sisters of Mercy in Parish Schools
In the spring of 1958, Father Thomas J. O'Brien, the pastor of St. Raymond Church in Mount Prospect, Illinois, wrote Mother Mary Regina Cunningham of the Sisters of Mercy, urging her to send him six additional sisters for the next school year, promising he would "never ask for more than twelve Nuns." He further grimly prophesied that if the Mother Provincial failed to fulfill his request immediately, the following year "will be too late":
There is a time in the history of every parish and religious order, when if things are not done immediately, the parish and religious order when...
8 "This Is Our Challenge! We Will Pursue It": The National Council of Catholic Women, the Feminist Movement, and the Second Vatican Council, 1960–1975
MARY J. HENOLD
In 2000 I began researching the history of the American Catholic feminist movement.¹ At the beginning of that project I knew very little about Catholic feminists or, indeed, Catholic women in the 1960s and 1970s. Quite early in my research I stumbled across a 1966 article about women and the Second Vatican Council. Its title, "The Buried Talents Symposium," suggested that I might find some Catholic feminists in its pages, and I was not disappointed. The article featured the perspectives of a number of prominent Catholic women, including Margaret Mealey, identified as the executive director of the National Council of...
9 Who Will Guard the Guardians? Church Government and the Ecclesiology of the People of God, 1965–1969
For a brief interval between 1965 and 1969, a vocal body of Catholic laypeople n the United States sought to apply the new theology of the People of God, articulated at the Second Vatican Council, to the sphere of Church governance. Where earlier forms of lay activism had accepted the necessary subordination of ecclesiastical structures to clerical leadership, those of the late 1960s frequently embraced what might be termed a democratic ecclesiology, which had particular resonance both in the former center of Catholic devotional life, the parish, and in the organizational nexus of the wider life of the Church, the...
10 Empowering the People of God: John Cardinal Dearden's Church of Tomorrow
SAMUEL J. THOMAS
Historians and Hollywood draw on these descriptors of the American 1960s to express the ambivalence and confusion over what most believe was a watershed period in the nation's development. Historian William Chafe has cautioned only against using the term "'watershed' to describe a given moment" because it risks "oversimplifying the historical process." It applies primarily to signify "an end to domination by one constellation of forces and the beginning of domination by another."² In the scholarship of American Catholic history, "watershed" appropriately tags the 1960s as a period of unprecedented acculturation or, as some would argue, assimilation.³
A singularly important...
11 Christian Unity, Lay Authority, and the People of God: The Community of Christ Our Brother in the Archdiocese of Atlanta, 1967–1969
ANDREW S. MOORE
In 1967 the Archdiocese of Atlanta, under the leadership of Paul J. Hallinan, launched a bold experiment in parish organization. Rather than being defined by geographical boundaries, as Catholic parishes traditionally were, the new Community of Christ Our Brother would recruit its members from across the city, in the manner of the Protestant churches that dominated Atlanta's religious landscape. The Community would seek to address social-justice problems, experiment with liturgical changes, and eventually explore avenues for ecumenical dialogue and cooperation. The accounts, given in earlier chapters, of the experiences of Cardinal Dearden in Detroit, Bishop Wright in Pittsburgh, and Bishop...

Thoughts and Concerns about Operation Onymous
by phobos | November 09, 2014
Recently it was announced that a coalition of government agencies took control of many Tor hidden services. We were as surprised as most of you. Unfortunately, we have very little information about how this was accomplished, but we do have some thoughts which we want to share.
Over the last few days, we received and read reports saying that several Tor relays were seized by government officials. We do not know why the systems were seized, nor do we know anything about the methods of investigation which were used. Specifically, there are reports that three systems of Torservers.net disappeared and there is another report by an independent relay operator. If anyone has more details, please get in contact with us. If your relay was seized, please also tell us its identity so that we can request that the directory authorities reject it from the network.
But, more to the point, the recent publications call the targeted hidden services seizures "Operation Onymous" and they say it was coordinated by Europol and other government entities. Early reports say 17 people were arrested, and 400 hidden services were seized. Later reports have clarified that it was hundreds of URLs hosted on roughly 27 web sites offering hidden services. We have not been contacted directly or indirectly by Europol nor any other agency involved.
Tor is most interested in understanding how these services were located, and if this indicates a security weakness in Tor hidden services that could be exploited by criminals or secret police repressing dissents. We are also interested in learning why the authorities seized Tor relays even though their operation was targetting hidden services. Were these two events related?
How did they locate the hidden services?
So we are left asking "How did they locate the hidden services?". We don't know. In liberal democracies, we should expect that when the time comes to prosecute some of the seventeen people who have been arrested, the police would have to explain to the judge how the suspects came to be suspects, and that as a side benefit of the operation of justice, Tor could learn if there are security flaws in hidden services or other critical internet-facing services. We know through recent leaks that the US DEA and others have constructed a system of organized and sanctioned perjury which they refer to as "parallel construction."
Unfortunately, the authorities did not specify how they managed to locate the hidden services. Here are some plausible scenarios:
The first and most obvious explanation is that the operators of these hidden services failed to use adequate operational security. For example, there are reports of one of the websites being infiltrated by undercover agents and the affidavit states various operational security errors.
SQL injections
Another explanation is exploitation of common web bugs like SQL injections or RFIs (remote file inclusions). Many of those websites were likely quickly-coded e-shops with a big attack surface. Exploitable bugs in web applications are a common problem.
Bitcoin deanonymization
Ivan Pustogarov et al. have recently been conducting interesting research on Bitcoin anonymity.
Apparently, there are ways to link transactions and deanonymize Bitcoin clients even if they use Tor. Maybe the seized hidden services were running Bitcoin clients themselves and were victims of similar attacks.
Attacks on the Tor network
The number of takedowns and the fact that Tor relays were seized could also mean that the Tor network was attacked to reveal the location of those hidden services. We received some interesting information from an operator of a now-seized hidden service which may indicate this, as well. Over the past few years, researchers have discovered various attacks on the Tor network. We've implemented some defenses against these attacks, but these defenses do not solve all known issues and there may even be attacks unknown to us.
For example, some months ago, someone was launching non-targetted deanonymization attacks on the live Tor network. People suspect that those attacks were carried out by CERT researchers. While the bug was fixed and the fix quickly deployed in the network, it's possible that as part of their attack, they managed to deanonymize some of those hidden services.
Another possible Tor attack vector could be the Guard Discovery attack. This attack doesn't reveal the identity of the hidden service, but allows an attacker to discover the guard node of a specific hidden service. The guard node is the only node in the whole network that knows the actual IP address of the hidden service. Hence, if the attacker then manages to compromise the guard node or somehow obtain access to it, she can launch a traffic confirmation attack to learn the identity of the hidden service. We've been
discussing various solutions to the guard discovery attack for the past many months but it's not an easy problem to fix properly. Help and feedback on the proposed designs is appreciated.
*Similarly, there exists the attack where the hidden service selects the attacker's relay as its guard node. This may happen randomly or this could occur if the hidden service selects another relay as its guard and the attacker renders that node unusable, by a denial of service attack or similar. The hidden service will then be forced to select a new guard. Eventually, the hidden service will select the attacker.
Furthermore, denial of service attacks on relays or clients in the Tor network can often be leveraged into full de-anonymization attacks. These techniques go back many years, in research such as "From a Trickle to a Flood", "Denial of Service or Denial of Security?", "Why I'm not an Entropist", and even the more recent Bitcoin attacks above. In the Hidden Service protocol there are more vectors for DoS attacks, such as the set of HSDirs and the Introduction Points of a Hidden Service.
Finally, remote code execution exploits against Tor software are also always a possibility, but we have zero evidence that such exploits exist. Although the Tor source code gets continuously reviewed by our security-minded developers and community members, we would like more focused auditing by experienced bug hunters. Public-interest initiatives like Project Zero could help out a lot here. Funding to launch a bug bounty program of our own could also bring real benefit to our codebase. If you can help, please get in touch.
Advice to concerned hidden service operators
As you can see, we still don't know what happened, and it's hard to give concrete suggestions blindly.
If you are a concerned hidden service operator, we suggest you read the cited resources to get a better understanding of the security that hidden services can offer and of the limitations of the current system. When it comes to anonymity, it's clear that the tighter your threat model is, the more informed you need to be about the technologies you use.
If your hidden service lacks sufficient processor, memory, or network resources the DoS based de-anonymization attacks may be easy to leverage against your service. Be sure to review the Tor performance tuning guide to optimize your relay or client.
*Another possible suggestion we can provide is manually selecting the guard node of a hidden service. By configuring the EntryNodes option in Tor's configuration file you can select a relay in the Tor network you trust. Keep in mind, however, that a determined attacker will still be able to determine this relay is your guard and all other attacks still apply.
The task of hiding the location of low-latency web services is a very hard problem and we still don't know how to do it correctly. It seems that there are various issues that none of the current anonymous publishing designs have really solved.
In a way, it's even surprising that hidden services have survived so far. The attention they have received is minimal compared to their social value and compared to the size and determination of their adversaries.
It would be great if there were more people reviewing our designs and code. For example, we would really appreciate feedback on the upcoming hidden service revamp or help with the research on guard discovery attacks (see links above).
Also, it's important to note that Tor currently doesn't have funding for improving the security of hidden services. If you are interested in funding hidden services research and development, please get in touch with us. We hope to find time to organize a crowdfunding campaign to acquire independent and focused hidden service funding.
Finally, if you are a relay operator and your server was recently compromised or you lost control of it, please let us know by sending an email to bad-relays@lists.torproject.org.
Thanks to Griffin, Matt, Adam, Roger, David, George, Karen, and Jake for contributions to this post.

In reply to Using a bridge maybe a good by sysrqb
Considering using bridges,
Considering using bridges, but I was thinking.. Unless you have a riseup account(and most Tor users I know don't), aren't bridges received by gmail, yahoo also compromised? And from the "Just give me bridges!" it is easy enough to navigate and get bridge relays. So how can using bridges be safe?
Not trying to be critical, just curious.
isn't there any randomness
isn't there any randomness in choosing or are you _always_ selecting the same nodes?
Someone talk to admins from
Someone talk to admins from Evo and Agora to find out what they did differently over the past few months. They should have some interesting insight.
In reply to Someone talk to admins from by Anonymous (not verified)
My guess is that they are
My guess is that they are hosted in a country that would tell the FBI to fuck off (e.g. Russia or Malaysia). Either that or they are doing something smart from an infrastructure pov (e.g. rolling up new instances to rotate servers / ips).
All the busts seem to be in NSA friendly territories.
The Agora admins are smart
The Agora admins are smart enough to keep their mouths shut. They barely say anything to the users on their forums.
They're not going to help Tor if approached. Maybe they would help anonymously, but it will be them contacting Tor, not vice versa.
Onymous was not the only Tor
Onymous was not the only Tor related big operation recently. Last month "Operation Darknet" from Brazil's federal police resulted in 55 people arrested and other 100 arrest warnings issued in the country, suspects were also identified in other countries.

Many of the sites which have been inaccessible after Thursday were not marketplaces. Many were forums, some of which were unconnected to markets and were not directly involved any other illegal activity. Because of this, there are suggestions that all these sites were hosted by the small number of companies which accept Bitcoin as payment, and that Operation Onymous merely seized the servers owned by these companies.

Would reverse proxying / vpn the Hidden Services defend from this?
e.g. Client ---> Server A (Reverse Proxy / VPN) ----> Server B (Hidden Service)
If Fascists (/Feds) find your IP, they'll only seize the proxy / vpn (A). Presumably if this works you could also reverse proxy it a few times for extra protection.

Do you mean Client --->
Client ---> Server A (Reverse Proxy / VPN) ---> TOR ----> Server B (Hidden Service)
or do you mean
Client ---> TOR ----> Server A (Reverse Proxy / VPN) as a hidden service ---> Server B
or even a quasi/bastardized TOR-over-TOR-like
Client ---> TOR ----> Server A (Reverse Proxy / VPN) as a hidden service ---> second proxy/VPN -> TOR -> Server B (Hidden Service)
The idea of the last two is that "Server B" doesn't have to be in the same country as the hidden service and it doesn't necessarily depend on the hidden service staying up: If the hidden service is seized, a backup hidden service can be brought up as a near-drop-in-replacement.
Of course, both of these two options just trade one set of problems for another. Even as I write this, I can think of some attacks on these two methods that are harder to do with a plain-old client->TOR->Hidden Service model.

Sorry if it is too offtopic
Sorry if it is too offtopic but please give it a read, it might give you some important ideas on a broader view concerning the possible future of the Tor project as well as some insight into general principles of life, the universe and everything. ;)
I think the Tor project has reached a critical point in it's development over the last 1-2 years. I call it 'too big to work' in contrast to the 'too big to fail' theory in economics.
It roughly means that once a 'living' system reaches a certain size and impact on it's environment, the attraction to potential enemies becomes so great that it eventually crashes. The costs of outrunning the growing number of enemies in an arms race simply get too big. This applies to many biological or social systems like populations, communities, and even civilizations.
Think of a uniform population of highly specialized social organisms which have a very good defense against predators, parasites or diseases.
As long as the population is very small and hiding in it's niche, the costs for an adversary to overcome the organisms defenses are in no relation to the potential success (as food source, host for parasites,...). However, as social organisms, they don't do very well in very low densities either.
These were the earliest days of the Tor project. Barely anyone knew about it or noticed it. Neither users nor adversaries.
As the population grows, the individuals can interact more efficiently, greatly increasing their success. First adversaries begin to adapt to their defenses but it takes time and most attempts end in failure. The trade-off between invested resources to break the defense and potential success still is very poor. Our organisms have a head start and flourish while enemies lag behind.
These were the 'golden days' of hidden services until about 2 years ago.
Finally due to this success the population becomes very large, individuals are now not very rare but quite common in the ecosystem. As time progresses, more enemies have still managed to break through the increasingly improved defenses of our organisms. At first this seems meaningless but these adversaries are now able to gain resources off our numerous organisms and multiply themselves while over time more and more different enemies manage the same. Due to the sheer number of potential targets this now pays off greatly. As our population is uniform, once it's defenses are overcome it has to slowly evolve better strategies while having to react to a steadily increasing number of threats, inevitably leading to population decline.
This may be the grim future.
How can the story end?
1) extinction - being completely wiped out
2) great decline, becoming unattractive to adversaries again
3) the only feasible solution I have found is the concept of resilience by redundancy through diversity.
Resilience can be defined as the ability of a system to cope with change without crashing.
Redundancy in this case means multiplication of critical functions of a system with the intention of increasing stability.
Remember, the problem of our population was it's uniformity. Instead of becoming one large population it could have split into several mid-sized sub-populations with different traits, yet the ability to interact (-breed). Some may even break off and become fully independent species.
This way even if a terrible predator or disease would wipe out an entire population, it is highly likely that other related populations with a slightly different defense approach would survive and recover within a reasonable time.
On a larger scale this is believed to be a major factor of ecosystem stability. The more different species you have playing certain key roles in ecosystems, the more resilient the system is to catastrophic change. Even if one species fails, there's another one to quickly take over with little impact on the overall system. A very simple system with few species may crash or at least suffer a severe setback in productivity for a long time until the lost species is replaced by migration or evolution.
I am sure you get the idea now. I know resilience is quite unpopular in our hyper-efficent world as it costs a tremendous amount of resources but in long term I believe it is worth it. Either evolve and diversify into a resilient system or it will crash and you will go extinct. In contrast to our fictional organisms, who can only change randomly and evolve through natural selection, you can guide the evolution process of the Tor project, ideally leading it away from extinction - if you play your cards right! Still, evolution is the best approach out there. Build many different versions and see which one survives in the wild.
TL;DR - Even though I am glad and thankful that the Tor project has matured into something big, fast and convenient, I believe it has reached it's limits. We are no longer running ahead of our adversaries, we are trying to catch up with them. Too many people know and use Tor and being popular attracts many enemies. There is no way we can win an arms race against government-funded adversaries in the long run and even worse, there are little alternatives should Tor become fundamentally compromised. JonDo maybe, but apart from that? I2P and Freenet are not really suitable for most users.
So what I propose may seem radical, but I urge you to diversify this project instead of letting it grow even bigger. Tor is big and fast enough. Several smaller and distinctly different services would make the lives of our adversaries a lot harder and provide a safe haven in case one system gets compromised.
Remember - we can neither fight our adversaries nor outrun them in the long term. Constantly trying to resist attacks is not only a waste of resources but also nearly impossible to keep up. Instead we should spread our resources (within reason), hide, constantly change and multiply to build a resilient system that will remain functional even if some parts become compromised.
I know what I ask is incredibly hard but the sooner someone starts working on adding true redundancy to the existing Tor network the sooner it will be ready in case we need it. Unfortunately I can be of no help here apart from donating.
It seems great to have one powerful tool but to stake everything on one card will sooner or later go terribly wrong.
That's all, thank you and congrats if you managed to read through everything. :)

I did read everything. I
I did read everything. I think this is a robust and insightful analysis and one that I agree with. My one quibble is in regards to i2p, Freenet, and like programs.
One way to look at the problem is as one of content management. The main reason that i2p etc are not usable for most people is their lack of content. Tor solves the content problem by piggy-backing off the normal internet. However, it's useful to remember that the first video ever on Youtube was from a zoo--at one point in time Youtube didn't have any content either. So the reason that i2p etc isn't usable now is a content problem and one that is--in theory--solvable. The underlying problem with Tor is that while it solves the content problem by piggy backing off the regular internet it is an attempt to create lemonade from lemons--to build a secure system from a system that is inherently insecure.
Tl;dr. Tor is convenient but insecure. Dark nets are secure but inconvenient. But in the long run dark nets are the better solutions because the security is baked into the content. It's just going to take time--maybe lots of time and social turmoil--to get there.

Tor is now in a similar position to where the piratebay was a few years ago. That too, became more and more popular with articles appearing in the 'mainstream' and also attracted more and more powerful enemies. The piratebay was almost brought down, which was the fate of many torrent sites, but their soultion was "resilience by redundancy through diversity". "The piratebay: the most-resilient torrrent site in the universe." Maybe the Tor Project could learn from the experience of the piratebay. Maybe get a few of those guys on board once they have served their jail-time ;)

Roger, I'm just putting this
Roger, I'm just putting this in this thread for no real reason... I was the guy who could only sometimes load Tor 4.0+ despite *not* having Trusteer Rapport.
I figured out the problem, which you might want to publicize.
The culprit: Ad Muncher, a program that's been downloaded by millions of people over the past decade. When Tor first opens a small window as it tries to find a relay, Ad Muncher basically views this as a "pop up" attempt by the browser and kills it. The solution? The program has to be shut down totally, merely disabling filtering doesn't work.
That's it, carry on the good work, glad to see this was a problem on my end all along. :-)
Nachash (proprietor of
Nachash (proprietor of doxbin) brags that I was the most-doxed on his darknet onion server, along with Keith Alexander, a four-star general and former director of the NSA. The difference between me and Gen. Alexander is that I went to Germany in 1985 to teach Philip Agee how to use his first computer, I was prosecuted for draft resistance in 1969, and I was active in SDS beginning in 1967 to oppose U.S. policy in Vietnam. I also spent three years in grad school studying social ethics and political theory.
Nachash is too uninformed to distinguish between me and Alexander. He doxes us both as a matter of pride and presumed relevance. He includes Social Security numbers and other information that is inconvenient for his victims.
The folks who control Tor make a similar mistake. From the viewpoint of social ethics and plain logic, you must distinguish between freedom to surf the web anonymously, and the freedom to publish anonymously. I ran Scroogle.org for seven years because I believe in the freedom to research anonymously. But I also believe that publishers must be accountable, which automatically means that they must be identifiable.
The Tor people have yet to figure this out. The darknet onion thing provides anonymity to publishers. This is unethical. The Tor browser provides anonymity to passive researchers. This is wonderful. Until Tor figures this out, I will support efforts to close down onion servers, even if this means that I have to support Gen. Alexander.

I was really impressed by your life's work until the end of your statement.
Your analysis is however incorrect: one cannot be a publisher freely without a permissionless system. Publishers may be held to account after the fact or they may not. This is how a free system without prior restraint works. Tor Hidden Services provide anonymous, end to end, reachable, secure communications channels. This is important and the world needs it.
Your analysis between "researching" or reading and "publishing" or writing is incorrect. All HTTP clients send data - for example - the url they're requesting. This must be done anonymously. This means that to read anonymously on the web, we must also be able to write anonymously on the web.
I'm sorry that you've been a victim of jerks on the internet. I'm also sorry to hear that you're a supporter of General Alexander as a result. I'm even more sad that you believe the solution is to put a kings mark on every document, on every publisher and on every publication system. I say to that: Never.

As a person who got tortured in a NATO country and had to flee just because I wrote more than the government accepted about false-flag terrorism I would just like to say: Screw you. You have done a lot of great thing over the years like running scroogle but your statement that publishers must be "held accountable" made me loose all respect for you. Telling the truth about government lies is not and should not be a reason to get tortured. If you simply do not understand that this is going on, and has been going on, for decades then I might forgive you. If you actually believe that governments should be able to identify those who oppose them so they can torture them then I hope you die in the most horrible way possible.

Genome sequence comparison of tumor and non-tumor samples obtained from brown bullhead fish from Presque Isle State Park was undertaken to identify regions of DNA mutations in tumor samples. DNA primer sets were constructed to amplify and examine eight of these regions in greater detail, all of which successfully amplified the region targeted. Three genome areas were targeted for sequence analysis in a greater subset of tumor and non-tumor fish samples. The sequence analysis of these samples indicated identical sequence similarity between the tumor and non-tumor samples for all genome areas targeted. The results indicate a non-uniform environmental DNA mutation profile explaining tumor formation in brown bullheads.


Her face in this photo is priceless!
On a lighter note…I hope you don't mind another mini garden update! We've been having so much fun that we're super excited to plant an even bigger garden next spring…hopefully with a raised bed or two. We're still enjoying eating homegrown lettuce and watching our mammoth Russian sunflowers grow taller.
And Willow's bean plant is doing awesome!!
I don't have nearly as many new things to share with you as I did in my June Favorites post, but still some worthwhile items, recipes, and books to talk about!
Dry-Rub Sweet Potato Steaks >> The Smitten Kitchen Every Day Cookbook >> A friend of mine shared this recipe with me and it was absolutely delicious! Loaded with seasonings and super filling. Pretty funny how much the sweet potato looks like a "steak" in the photo below! It's supposed to be served with a green bean slaw, but I opted for some cooked kale instead.
This dressing is supposed to go with Brandi's smashed chickpea sandwich, but since I can't eat chickpeas, I used the dressing in a giant salad and then a collard wrap! This dressing is Willow's latest obsession! She loves to eat it with red lentil noodles!! Ha! It's perfectly salty and tangy thanks to the genius idea of artichoke brine! The creaminess factor is through the roof and it's really thick…I thinned some of mine down to use as a salad dressing, but kept the majority of the portion thick to use for Willow's noodles and to add to wraps.
I'm always SUPER excited (insert happy dance) when Brandi posts a recipe I can eat…especially when it comes to sweet treats! So I made this almost immediately after she shared the recipe 🙂 These might be my favorite cookies ever. The texture is incredible – crispy outer edges with a chewy center. Heaven. And of course there's the chocolate chips! These were gone super fast!
Apple Maple Veggie Breakfast Sausage >> Hilary's >> Found this in the frozen section at Whole Foods while I went to look for frozen cherries! They crumble very easily, but the flavor and texture was wonderful! Savory and sweet…a delightful combo! We added ours to collard wraps, which may sound strange, but it was really good!!
The Water Kefir People >> Forgive my extreme delay in sharing this with you! For the last few months we have been OBSESSED with water kefir! More specifically, The Water Kefir People! Not only is it brewed right here in Bend, OR (yay for local!), but their products are simply amazing…as is the company as a whole. Chatting with them at the Saturday farmer's markets has been a joy! Every flavor is incredibly delicious, but we are partial to the Lavender Blueberry and Root Beer flavors. No artificial taste, just pure, fresh goodness. Move over kombucha….water kefir has my heart! It's like a toned down sparkling water infused with fruit and probiotics. Way smoother than kombucha….sometimes kombucha kinda kicks you in the face with the intensity!
I finally found GT'S Koffee kombucha and it was totally worth the wait! (Grabbed this bottle at Whole Foods) Josh said it tasted very maple-y and I agree!
oh i am so sorry for your kittie and your family. As far as i am concerned, it is fine to share his journey on his blog if and only if it is of benefit to you. i would describe your post about Abbey has being bittersweet and heartfelt – yes i felt sad but never uncomfortable. I think that is as much about sharing our pain as our joy that helps bind people and often it is in the sharing of the pain that healing can occur.
I wish you peace and grace in your challenging journey with Oliver.
I still remember your kind words regarding my post about Abbey's passing…I can't thank you enough for your support and taking the time to leave such thoughtful comments ❤ I hope your heart continues to heal as I recall you lost a fur baby last year. I couldn't agree more – sharing not only our joy, but also our pain is what helps to connect us with others…and it helps aid in the healing process.
So sorry I'm so behind on this post! It is so sad that I never get emails when you post and my mind is so crazy I forget to pop over here with how busy I've been. Anyways, I LOVE that first pic of you and Willow, it is just too precious and I love all the garden updates. I think that is so amazing that you do all of that. I can barely keep anything alive, LOL.
How is Oliver doing?? SO sorry you are all going through that. I know how much you love your kitty.
Thank you Soooo much for the recipe shoutouts! I hate that I'm just seeing them! I'm just so very happy you love that Caesar dressing and the cookies!! Your cookies look totally perfect! I'm thrilled they were such a hit. They are definitely one of my favorite cookies ever too and even my non-vegan mother-n-law said the same thing..in fact, your post is making me crave some, haha!
Omg, those Hillary's sausages are AMAZING. I love the ingredient list, so clean, I know there is a tad bit of oil in them, but I blot it after after cooking and that helps and I think it's a wonderful delicious treat and the flavor is just incredible! I love to eat them over a warm bowl of homestyle grits!
I am thinking of you and hope you are hanging in there.
