Police praised for role in solving brutal murder case
Friday 11th of May 2018 02:01:59 PM
Tags: crime, emergency services
Somehow you don't associate events of this nature with our region, but painstaking work by Devon & Cornwall Police brought this man to justice.
From Devon & Cornwall Police:
A man responsible for the brutal murder of his partner, 33-year-old Kirby Noden, was on Thursday 10 May 2018 found guilty of murder.
Dean Lowe, aged 33, was found guilty after a two-and-a-half week trial at Truro Crown Court. He will be sentenced on Tuesday 15 May 2018 at Exeter Crown Court.
Lowe was accused of murdering Kirby Noden in January 2017 at the flat they shared in St Elmo, in Marazion, Cornwall, where they lived together for a number of years. Originally from Winsford in Cheshire, the couple had moved to the Westcountry, living first in Torquay before settling in Marazion.
In May 2017, police were contacted by concerned members of Lowe's family after they had received some disturbing messages from Lowe on social media.
Despite extensive searches by the Major Crime Investigation Team and officers from other specialisms including financial investigation, forensic support and specialist search officers, the search for Kirby's remains and any indication that she was alive elsewhere all proved negative.
Prosecution QC Paul Dunkels said that Lowe had contacted his family in Cheshire to say there had been a body on the floor which he had cut up and put into bins. Mr Dunkels stated that Lowe had continued to live in the flat for four months after killing Miss Noden at the property.
When a police officer visited Mr Lowe in May 2017 at the flat Lowe had admitted to the officer that he had killed Kirby Noden and disposed of her body.
Detective Inspector Ian Ringrose said: "Based on the evidence and our investigation it is my belief that Lowe had killed Kirby sometime between 11th and 14th of January 2017.
"On the evening of the 17th May 2017, Lowe made a number of disclosures via Facebook to relatives in Cheshire that gave them concerns about Kirby's safety and led them to alert the police in their local area who in turn notified officers of the fears as to Kirby's murder.
"On the evening of 18th May, 2017 officers found Lowe at the Courtyard Flat and, due to what he told them and the scene that they discovered, they arrested him on suspicion of Kirby's Murder.
"Lowe had made certain disclosures in the Facebook messages and to the arresting officer to suggest that he had killed Kirby, disarticulated her body and disposed of her remains. The forensic examination of the scenes supported this and that there had been a sustained attack on Kirby and that Lowe was the person responsible for that assault.
"He subsequently denied those admissions and pleaded not guilty to murder.
"This has been an extensive and complex investigation which has been necessary to prove that Lowe is responsible for Kirby's death, disprove his various explanations as to why Kirby could not be found and in parallel, because we have been unable to find any of Kirby's remains, a complex investigation to prove that Kirby is no longer alive. This has required extensive nationwide and International enquiries.
"Miss Noden's family have been put through a living hell with Lowe not disclosing where he disposed of Kirby's body and denying all knowledge in court. Lowe added to their upset by insisting that Kirby was still alive.
"We hope today's verdict gives them some comfort in the conclusion of the case and our thoughts and sympathies are with them."
Statement from Kirby Noden's family:
"Dean Lowe has taken away from us something totally precious, and although we welcome this verdict and sentence, it will never replace our loss.
"We would like to thank the ladies and gentlemen of the jury; and all members of the Devon and Cornwall Police, especially D.I. Ian Ringrose and his team for their extremely thorough hard work and relentless dedication to achieve a conviction.
"We would especially like to express our thanks and warm wishes to DC Jon Watts for his outstanding work and compassion during this case."

The Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS) Whole Crop Harvest initiative has released a new video to encourage farmers to donate produce to food banks. Donations to food banks provide alternatives for farmers when they are unable to sell all of their fresh produce, says Rebecca Dunning, a North Carolina State University horticulturist. The audience for this 5-minute video are mid to large scale produce growers who currently do not donate product to food banks. In our work interviewing these growers in North Carolina, we found that growers were not aware of the capacity of regional food banks to efficiently pick up and handle large volumes, and some growers were unaware of the tax benefits and release from liability associated with donation.

Q: How to fix div inside another div using skrollr? I have created two concentric circles, c1 and c2 respectively. I am trying that as user scroll down, the circle shrinks and vanishes. I am using a jquery plugin "Skrollr js" and the problem I am facing is that inside the circle I want the content to be stay fixed on the screen and as circle vanishes it should vanish too.
Basically, I am trying to re-create this https://www.evanshalshaw.com/bondcars/index.html but in a very basic manner.

Hello

For full code, please see the fiddle.
I have created this so far : https://jsfiddle.net/LpLq5mLa/
As shown in jsfiddle "Hello" is moving too as we scroll down but I want it to remain fix and disappear when circle vanishes.
Please refer to the fiddle if any confusion. I tried my best to write a clean code, a better way to do so will be much appreciated. Thank you!
Edit : I tried content in a div and putting it above the animated div but it doesn't work.

Home » 'A 19th-century plot'
'I've always been interested in those painful moments between people which can't be fully articulated, and even if they were fully articulated might become even more unbearable. There's no way out. Nor do I think in situations like that there's that horrible American word 'closure'. Because for all the sexual liberation, the great social changes through the 60s and 70s, one meets loads of people who seem to have been married for ever. I'd say at least two-thirds of my contemporaries have been married since their twenties. It's still possible to write, as it were, a 19th-century plot in which one person having one affair is as explosive as anything you can imagine, and never to be forgiven - or at least never to be forgotten.'
Ian McEwan, talking about The Children Act in the Sunday Times magazine
'I will never stop writing. People often ask when I will retire, but I say it's none of their business. Writing defines who I am. I love the feeling of holding a finished book in my hands, and then I can't wait to start the great adventure of writing the next one.'
— Barbara Taylor Bradford

Q: Does google know that 2 websites are using the same template/wordpress theme? I was wondering if google know that 2 websites use the same template (wordpress theme in my case) and how.
Does it index html structure and compares with other sites, css classes, attributes ?

A: Google can see what theme you are using by crawling your styles.css file included with the theme.
Google doesn't penalize you for using the same theme on multiple sites. They mostly care about content, backlinks, and other traditional factors used in ranking.
One exception to this rule is if a theme is found to violate their rules or guidelines then they could penalize you for using that theme. Examples of this would be a theme used to artificially inflate Adsense clicks, squeeze visitors really hard to join your newsletter, or auto-scrape content to name a few.
Changing the name in the css file won't help as Google is pretty sophisticated at looking at a website's footprint, so it would require doing some html and css name changes. Best just to avoid using any theme that can get you in trouble with them.
Using a normal (free or premium) theme is not something you need to worry about in relation to  Google carrying about it.


Your holiday office party planning starts with great food and drink. Usually the hardest part of planning a party is what to serve. Some parties feature appetizers, some offer full sit-down meals, and others will have a buffet that could include separate stations for each food type i.e. a salad, meat, seafood or dessert stations.
While you're in the office party planning stage, keep in mind that the time you schedule your party for will directly affect the type of service and quantity of food required and staff expectations. But…the most important factor that will determine the style of catering you choose is your budget.
Holding your Christmas party in the office means space is a consideration. A sit down dinner requires room for tables and chairs. Before you plan on it, be certain your budget will accommodate this style because you will need to hire serving staff.
A buffet style gathering will require tables for catering equipment, and if you choose to have traditional turkey or roast beef, space for the chef carving station is a must. Presentation tables for an appetizer party are needed unless you decide to have wait staff serve guests as they mingle.
You will still require a preparation area. Your staff kitchen could do the trick for this choice.
If your holiday office party planning budget is very small, opt to have the caterer drop off your menu choices. Then all you'll need is a table to set up the presentation.
– Know your office party food etiquette. If yours is an office of women, serve food that is pretty and always add chocolate something. Perhaps you are a construction company; you will want to fill the gap with delicious home-style portions.
– Be sensitive. Keep in mind the ethnic and religious requirements of your colleagues.
– How much food is needed will depend on how many people will attend and the time of your party. Luncheons typically require less food then evening parties.
Full meal cocktail party: 8 to 15 pieces.
Dinner style cocktail parties require 15 to 20 pieces per person.
– Renting China, Glassware, Cutlery will make any party planners life much easier and is eco-friendly. You should be able to rent them from your caterer. If you want disposable, choose a caterer that has eco-friendly items available. Have the order delivered the day before to ensure you are ready for the set up the day of the event. If you are missing items, early delivery gives you time to make wrongs into rights.
– Double up on everything if you can. People tend to leave their glasses, plates, and cutlery wherever they wander. Plan on having as much as twice the amount as the number of guests.
– Serving. If you are not hiring serving staff, a buffet is the way to go.Stack plates at the start of the buffet line, and place cutlery and napkins at the end. Guests will then have less to balance while they serve themselves.
– Consider setting up the food in several spots if you have the space.That way everyone won't be crowding around the same buffet table at once. Make sure there are plenty of napkins and plates at each station.
– Choose a theme. You can theme any party from décor to food to menus. How about a Winter Wonderland with an elegant colour theme of purple and gold.
Fire & Ice: think ice sculptures and icicles combined with fire torches (fake of course!) or candles and a red Christmas tree. Or choose a Victorian Christmas to add warmth and charm to your office gathering. Themed parties add great value that will provide your office with an unforgettable experience.
– The wow factor. If you have the budget go with butler service and provide your staff with an elegant experience that says they are the best.


The Stranger is a literal (but still very cinematic) adaptation of the novel by Albert Camus. Marcello Mastrioanni stars as Meursault, a man who feels utterly isolated from everyone and everything around him. This alienation results in sudden, inexplicable bursts of violence, culminating in murder. The subsequent trial of Meursault manages to convey the oppressive heat of its Algerian setting with director Luchino Visconti's usual veneer of elegant decadence. Though set in the 1930s, the sensibilities of the film were very much attuned to the 1960s: the problem was that Camus' sentiments had been adopted by so many other filmmakers of the period that The Stranger seemed rather commonplace. The film was originally released in Italy as Lo Staniero.
Visconti, like Camus, realizes that the meaning of The Stranger is not to be found in the plot but in the mood. The mood is ennui, the dominant emotion of a man who hardly cares enough to tell his own story.
Visconti's film of The Stranger follows the action of the novel with hardly a comma missing -- and therein lies both its strength and its weakness.
The result is a totally schematic vulgarization of Camus' philosophical treatise in novel form.
Because The Stranger deserves so much more, it is all the more disheartening to see an effort so painstakingly loyal wash out as a mere story line.
Fascinating, but a failure nonetheless.
As is often the case when a great filmmaker brings the work of a great novelist to the screen, The Stranger is an utter failure, in terms of Camus.
The film is resolutely faithful to details of what Meursault said and did and saw, while missing the essential clipped calm of the style blanc and the precise shading of his detachment.
Camus on the beach, via Visconti. Unsatisfactory journey into existentialist angst.
The director seemed incapable late in his career of identifying with the protagonist of this influential book.
The fact that this is an extremely faithful, line-by-line adaptation is ironically the problem with this film, especially considering Mastroiani's off-the-mark, far-from-nuanced composition. Besides, Visconti's cheap direction doesn't help with all the horrible zooms and inept lighting.


LIHEAP can provide you with two kinds of financial assistance if you qualify for help: Cash grants and Crisis grants. Cash grants can help you pay for energy to heat your home or apartment in the winter. Crisis grants can help you deal with emergencies related to weather or energy supply problems.
LIHEAP can also provide emergency heating system repair and conservation assistance. LIHEAP is a federally funded program administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS).
Eligible families can receive financial assistance from any or all of LIHEAP's components to help heat their residence. If you have questions about LIHEAP, you can contact PULP, DPW, your local county assistance office, or your utility company. Additional details about the current year's LIHEAP program can be found in PULP's LIHEAP Advocate's Manual.
The U.S. Department of Energy's Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) can help low-income families reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy efficient. If you are eligible for the program, some of the services you might receive include installation of insulation, heating system replacements, and education on how to reduce energy waste.
The Weatherization Assistance Program is funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) but run by the individual states. In Pennsylvania, the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) administers the program. You can learn more about Weatherization Assistance through the DCED.
As a utility customer, you are responsible for paying your bills and should make every effort to do so. However, if you are unable to pay your bill, there are protections from termination for qualified low-income families during the winter moratorium: December 1 – March 31. Your household income must be at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines. (Alternate rules, explained below, apply if you are a customer of PGW – Philadelphia Gas Works.) It is a good idea to alert your utility company if you are within these guidelines. If you receive a termination notice and you are within the income guidelines, you should notify your utility company immediately.
If you are a customer of PGW, your utility service may not be terminated during the winter months if your income level falls below 150% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines. If your income is between 150% and 250% of the guidelines, you will not be shut-off in the winter if the household includes anyone 65 years of age or older or 12 years of age or younger; or if you have obtained a medical certification; or if you have paid PGW an amount equal to at least 15% of your monthly household income for each of the last two months.

Hardware is essentially a fragmented market and no single device can fit all use-cases. This means that device manufacturers will have to stick to specific domains and use-cases. With Yuktix we are breaking the entry barrier to sensor based data capture in any domain as we have developed IPs that can be used as ingredients to create multiple solution templates. Using our Sensor catalog, Yuktix IP and our hardware expertise, we can practically solve all data capture problems.
This means that all the use cases for which people were earlier dependent on specialized hardware device manufacturers (who were either unapproachable or prohibitively expensive) and wherein customization meant escalated costs, can now be easily accomplished using the Yuktix device IP. This also means that we shorten your development time for futuristic data-capture use-cases lie deploying wireless sensor network, off-grid data-capture. You can explore our PCB from here.
But my data is in a remote unapproachable region with harsh terrain !
No worries! Yuktix device also has a solar powered option that can store data locally and transmit it via GSM/GPRS to the cloud from where you can access it from anywhere anytime. Our solutions are truly off-grid and weather-proof and tested for extreme conditions like storm, sun and hail. Talk to us about your specific requirement.
In that case, you are talking to absolutely the right people. We can either draw a wired line from your remote site to a place where there is GSM network connectivity or lay down a Zigbee based wireless sensor network to relay the data to a location where there is network connectivity. The solution depends on your specific requirement and we are the people who can architect it for you.
Very well. But that is not very new. I know X and Y and Z who say that they can do the same.
True, but can the same vendor provide you with a mashup of wired and wireless communication options with solar based off-grid weather proof data capture? Do they provide free bundled cloud subscription and mobile app? And do they provide out-of the box connectors for third party device clouds like Xively? No? We thought not too. The existing solution vendors and system integrators who do have the expertise to cobble up solutions on demand will eat up your precious time and also burn a hole in your pocket, not to mention the additional import costs if you are in India. And when you would require custom hardware solutions, the cost of your research effort and unavailability of hardware solutions in budget would prove to be a major deterrent.

HomepoprockNew AbbVie drug wins FDA approval
New AbbVie drug wins FDA approval
The injectable, which can be administered by a doctor or self-administered after training, has also been approved in Canada for plaque psoriasis and in Japan for plaque psoriasis, generalized pustular psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Meanwhile, the European Medicines Agency is evaluating SKYRIZI in the treatment of plaque psoriasis.
AbbVie collaborated on the drug with Boehringer Ingelheim, paying the German drugmaker $595 million in 2016 for the rights to take it to market. Phase 3 trials of SKYRIZI for the treatment of Crohn's disease and psoriatic arthritis are ongoing, AbbVie said in a statement, noting it's also being investigated as a treatment for ulcerative colitis.
Another promising pipeline drug from AbbVie, upadacitinib, is under review by the FDA and European Medicines Agency for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The company expects risankizumab and upadacitinib to generate a combined $10 billion or more in annual sales by 2025.
"Those two would be important supplemental products because Humira is an autoimmune drug, as well," Ashtyn Evans, a health care analyst at Edward Jones, said in January. "Getting those approvals in that market that they're really good at will be important for the growth story."
Humira sales neared $20 billion last year, accounting for about 60 percent of the company's revenue.
"SKYRIZI builds on AbbVie's legacy in immunology, expanding our portfolio to help meet the evolving needs in psoriatic disease and reinforcing our continued pursuit of innovations that improve care for people living with immune-mediated conditions," Dr. Michael Severino, vice chairman and president of AbbVie, said in the statement.

Robert Montgomery and Rosalind Russell were frequent costars during the '30s, culminating in their roles as Joel and Garda Sloan in FAST AND LOOSE, a very engaging entry in MGM's short-lived Sloan mystery series, the history of which can be read here.
This would be the only time Montgomery and Russell played the Sloans, which is movie fans' loss. Montgomery and Russell work well together and are an appealing couple as rare book dealers who do a bit of amateur sleuthing on the side. Montgomery in particular is winning as Joel Sloan, who is quick-witted and has some smooth moves when dealing with the bad guys. Russell has less to do, but she's a good match for Montgomery.
The supporting cast includes Reginald Owen, Ralph Morgan, Sidney Blackmer, and the great character actor Ian Wolfe, who acted into his 90s. (He has over 270 credits to his name at IMDb. Musical fans know him as Rev. Elcott in SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS.)
FAST AND LOOSE was directed by Edwin L. Marin. It was filmed in black and white and runs 80 minutes.
This film is not available on video or DVD but can be seen on TCM. The trailer can be seen here.
Update: Here's a review of FAST COMPANY (1938). The link for FAST AND FURIOUS (1939) is above in the first paragraph, or can be accessed here.
April 2013 Update: The three Joel and Garda Sloan movies are now available on a triple feature DVD from the Warner Archive.

I agree with you. Robert Montgomery is one of those actors I've come to fairly late but I adore him so I try to watch everything he's in. F&L was on TCM last week and, as you say, it's terrific. Thanks to TiVo, I can watch it millions of times until I let it get deleted (or not)!
I saved it from my DVR to video so I can watch it over and over. :)
I was really pleased with this movie and especially Montgomery... Sure wish there had been more of these!
This sounds like a good movie, but not one I'll get to see :(
I did get from the library the DVD of the one about the brothers who were truck drivers and Ida Lapino. Wow! She was great in this movie and I can sure see where her career really took off because of it.
I'm glad you got to see THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT, Irene! Wasn't she good in it?
I would be really thrilled if Warners put out a DVD of this mystery series, although I don't know if they'd think there is a market for it -- 3 mysteries with different actors playing the same characters in each film...

Stymie (April 4, 1941 − 1962) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse.

Background
Stymie, a chestnut horse with a narrow white blaze was bred by Max Hirsch and was born on King Ranch in Texas.

As a young horse, Stymie possessed so terrible a disposition that his ability to race was hampered; his trainer did not see much in him. Therefore, two of Stymie's first three starts were claiming races.

On June 2, 1943, Stymie was bought by Hirsch Jacobs, one of the time's leading trainers. Jacobs claimed the horse for $1,500 for his wife Ethel Jacobs.

Stymie raced ten more times before winning again. At that point, his record consisted of seven wins out of fifty starts.

Racing career and wins

At age two, Stymie lost every race he ran in except one. He also placed in the Ardsley Handicap and showed in the Thomas K. Lynch Memorial Handicap. At age three, he lost most of his races. However, he came in second in the Wood Memorial Stakes and third in the Gallant Fox Handicap, Westchester Handicap, Riggs Handicap, Pimlico Cup Handicap, Flamingo Stakes, and Shevlin Stakes.

In 1945, the US government shut down racing for four months. Stymie was given a seven-month rest. He then won the Brooklyn Handicap, Butler Handicap, Westchester Handicap, Pimlico Cup, Riggs Handicap, Saratoga Cup, Continental Handicap, and Grey Lag Handicap. In addition, he came in second in the Suburban Handicap, Queens County Handicap, and Yonkers Handicap, and finished third in the Pimlico Special, Jockey Club Gold Cup, Whitney Stakes, and Merchants' and Citizens' Handicap.  At age five, he won the Gallant Fox Handicap (beating the winner of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, Assault), New York Handicap, Grey Lag Handicap, Manhattan Handicap, Edgemere Handicap, Whitney Stakes, and Saratoga Cup. He also placed in the Brooklyn Handicap, Dixie Handicap, Jockey Club Gold Cup, Monmouth Handicap, and Pimlico Special, and showed in the Suburban Handicap, Butler Handicap, Saratoga Handicap and Sussex Handicap.

At age six, Stymie won the Gold Cup, Gallant Fox Handicap, Massachusetts Handicap, Aqueduct Handicap, Metropolitan Handicap, Sussex Handicap, and Questionnaire Handicap, placed in the Brooklyn Handicap, Butler Handicap, Edgemere Handicap, Manhattan Handicap, and Queens County Handicap, and finished third in the Jockey Club Gold Cup and Whitney Stakes.  When he was seven, he won the Aqueduct Handicap, Metropolitan Handicap, and Sussex Handicap, took second in the Suburban Handicap, Dixie Handicap, and Queens County Handicap, and was third in the Brooklyn Handicap and Excelsior Handicap. In his last year at eight, he was second in the New York Handicap.

In the 1948 Monmouth Handicap suffered a fractured sesamoid bone in his right foreleg. He returned in 1949 to continue his career as an eight year old but did not win in five starts.

Career starts and wins

Out of 131 lifetime starts, Stymie won 35, placed in 33, and showed in 28.  His career winnings were $918,485.  That made him, at the time, the richest race horse in America.

At Suffolk Downs on July 7, 1947, Stymie became the first horse ever to eclipse the $700,000 earnings mark.  He was so heavily bet that a minus show pool of $25,887 was created that day, and the tote board briefly jammed due to the flood of money wagered on him.

Legacy

A grandson of Equipoise and inbred to Man O' War, Stymie died in 1962. He was elected to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1975. In The Blood-Horse magazine ranking of the top 100 U.S. thoroughbred champions of the 20th Century, he is ranked #41.

Jacobs, who died in 1970, was elected as a trainer to the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in 1958.  He and his wife named their Sparks, Maryland, breeding operation Stymie Manor.

They've got to know at the Queens Library that the title "Coping Skills Librarian" is going to cause some titters.
The position has a noble and much needed mission, "Plans, schedules, organizes, promotes and monitors coping skills programs in languages other than English." and more like that. I always like seeing the Queens Library, which I sometimes think badly of for what I perceive to be a Barnes & Noble mentality (calling their users customers, putting so much emphasis on circ stats, and that dress code hullabaloo a few years ago), doing what they do best, serving their immigrant populations, in a new, innovative way. I believe Queens has the most culturally and ethnically diverse population in the country, if not the world. Their website seems to be available in at least six languages, and offers resources in several more. Per the census, and so possibly under counting, Queens has a nearly 50% immigrant population, so one of the library's important offerings is its New Americans Program.
Anyway, I just wanted to giggle at, "Coping Skills Librarian," but I figured I'd better praise it, as well. Here at Barnard, I'd like to see about getting a "Massage Therapy Librarian."
Seen on the METRO-L discussion list.


To learn as well as teach.
After getting the location of the Word document and downloading it. The file name was "Auditor-of-State-Notification-of-EFT-Deposit" with hash values of.
Let's dive into the macro.
Using LibreOffice we can see in the code under Document objects –> vUwdwkwHZAwSRz –> Private Sub Document_open() . It will eventually launch VBA[.]Shell with a reassembled string.
Looking at the bottom we see it contains 3 scripts.
So we can now extract these 3 scripts and open them up in Notepad++ or your favorite text editor.
Before we leave the document we also want to check if there are any property's we may need for decoding or any forms that may have any pre-filled values that we may also need later. In this case there are none.
The screenshot above goes over the various parts that makes up this "Style" of encoding. I have decoders/string builders for 5 other versions and I am sure I have missed a few more in-between.
If we search for the two values in the beginning of the "VBA.Shell" line and to the left of the "CVar("C")" there are no other hits on the names so those are just junk inserted and will get handled when not found with the "On Error Resume Next" routine.
If we take a look at the script we saved as "BlUkafEw" then we can see that this entire script contains junk code that does not get used except as a distraction/time waster.
One of the next things we may notice is the heavy use of "CStr".
Here we see the "CStr" wraps the "Chr" function to convert a numeric char code to string. Searching the other value names inside currently return no other hits so in this case they can safely be ignored.
That leave us with the value of CStr(Chr(99)) which is "c".
Next let us put both of the remaining scripts into 1 document to make searching for strings easier between the 2 scripts.
As we look and search for the string to get rebuilt we can get a count of how many times the string is found. If it is only found once then it most likely junk. That does not mean that earlier in the code it does not decode to the string you are looking for.
In this case no. We still have junk as the second value after "CStr".
The next value though has 3 hits.
So lets take a closer look at this first function that will reassemble part of the final string.
Doing a few string searches we can see that this first function contains a lot of junk code so lets clean it up to get a better idea of how the function works.
Now we can have a better understanding of how this works. The original line of code will call each function name and then each function will reassemble a string and return that to be tacked onto the original call.
So one of the first things we will want to do is go thru all of the "CStr" function and replace those with the char for that char code.
So another new tool. We input the combined 2 scripts and the string we are looking for "CStr" and it will find and replace all of them with the char.
Now that the char codes are replaced with the Char we can go onto the next tool that will reassemble the final string.
Now that the easy part of rebuilding this long encoded string is complete we now move on to the harder part, interpreting what this is doing.
After viewing this Twitter thread from Shiao Qu @ShiaoQu17 here it got me looking at this in a different lite. We need to break up the string in sections.
The first section that is highlighted will build the cmommand for cmd.exe to launch the decoded part.
The next section is the Encoded string.
The final section is the directions how to decode the center part.
Here is part 1 cleaned up a bit. Although I still don't fully understand "exactly" everything it does. I do have a real good idea how it works.
In the second part, everything after the first equals sign to the closing parentheses ")" is the encoded text we will be working with.
In part 3 we will get an idea of how this string in section2 gets decoded.
That is still hard to read so lets clean that up some.
I may have gotten carried away cleaning this string but the important part for me is the 2 values highlighted "2153, –6".
What this does is takes the encoded string and set an index value of "2153" which is the string length and takes the last character in the string then advances backwards 6 chars to the next value. So our first char will be "p" and then count backwards every 6 chars to get our decoded string.
In my tool I just reverse the string and count forwards.
I seen the video here by Karsten Hahn @struppigel for a different type and he does a better job of explaining the way that the call works at the end for that type and returns the decoded value.
The trick here is that when it will automatically remove the extra characters as it runs under cmd.exe. If the string is not cleaned correctly when decoding by hand the the index will be off and return the wrong output value for the decoded script. One other thing I found was in Powershell we generally get rid of the tick mark "`" as an escape char but here it appeared that it was paired with "^" looking like it would be removed also. After more testing I only ended up removing the Cmd escape char of "^". Or in the case of my current tool I do a string replace of "^`" with "*" which is one character that was not used in order to keep the proper length. The replacement really was not needed in this case.
Here is the decoded script and tool.
And the final decoded script formatted for better reading.
Although this looked very complicated from the start. Especially if you already read the scripts of the builder here by Daniel Bohannon @danielhbohannon or read the white paper located here it did not turn out to be as difficult as it first appeared to beat the encoding .
If you don't care to really understand how it works you can always drop the document on ANY.RUN @anyrun_app Like this sample was here .
Just scroll down the right till you find the poweshell.exe process , select on that. Then view more information to get this screen.
I still have a lot more to learn about how some of the obfuscation works. I was still able to extract the final payload which was the whole point anyway.
That's it for this one I hope everyone learned as much as I did.
My part time Business, I mainly do system building and system repair. Over the last several years I have been building system utility's in vb script , HTA applications and VB.Net to be able to better find the information I need to better understand the systems problems in order to get the systems repaired and back to my customers quicker.

Around 1805, a dozen wealthy residents of Balham and its local area commissioned the construction of a proprietary chapel at the 5-mile stone between Balham and Tooting. Among them were members of the reforming Clapham Sect, luminaries such as William Wilberforce, Henry Thornton, and Zachary Macaulay. This chapel opened for worship in April 1808. It was consecrated and dedicated as the parish church of Balham by the Bishop of Winchester in the spring of 1855.
The church underwent considerable alteration over the course of the next fifty years. During the 1880s, an elaborately decorated chancel, sanctuary, and reredos were added. Then, in 1903, the building's original Greek Revival façade was replaced by an eclectic Classical frontage, complete with porches, clock tower, and domed baptistery.
Meanwhile, as Balham continued to develop as a residential and commercial area, the need for a daughter church to serve the growing Bedford Hill neighbourhood became apparent. The Church of St John the Divine was consecrated by the Bishop of Rochester in October 1900 and soon became known for its 'high church' sensibilities. St John's served as the parish church for Bedford Hill until 1983, at which point it was closed, and the combined parish of St Mary and St John the Divine, Balham, was formed.
As Balham has continued to evolve, so has St Mary's. Today it is a community that seeks to honour its past while also embracing the future. The church welcomed its current vicar, the Revd Dr Robert Tobin, in September 2017.

TTC Special: Caribbean: "medical marijuana" advances
December 28, 2019	151 Views

By Frank Martin
TTC Service. – Although controversial marijuana remains illegal in most of the Caribbean, including Jamaica, decriminalization bills arose in the Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago and even earlier in St. Kitts and Nevis based on medical and religious ground.
Cannabis has made its way through some countries in the Americas, including the United States, from some medical benefits it provide to those who consume it. But scientists warn that there are much more specialized studies that point to the herb as a danger to human health.
However, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), which brings together 15 nations and agencies in the region, agreed on the need for a "generalized reform" regarding the legality of marijuana.
A recent report by the regional agency says that "there is considerable evidence to suggest that the prohibition of marijuana was due to cynical reasons to nullify competition with the alcohol industry."
CARICOM described as "draconian" the regional legal regime that exists today in this regard.
That is why the commission of the entity in charge of the issue urged the Caribbean nations to declassify cannabis as a "dangerous drug."
CARICOM has called for the "complete and immediate elimination of all prohibitive legal provisions, thus making cannabis a legal substance."
These beliefs nonetheless considered as part of the cultural heart of the Anglophone Caribbean.
Regional authorities have reported that the effects of the herb can be "harmful" if a rigid criminalization occurs.
The calls of marijuana
The U.S. Virgin Islands have taken advantage of the situation to become a withdrawal of use of that drug exclusively for American tourists
These islands are already a tropical paradise in the Caribbean, known for its luxurious resorts, beautiful natural landscapes, turquoise waters.
Governor Albert Bryan Jr. called the authorities to an exceptional session on Wednesday, December 18, to consider an amendment regarding the legalization of cannabis in the US Virgin Islands.
The bill would expand the existing medical marijuana program on the islands, which became law earlier this year as one of Bryan's first acts as governor.
"Now, it seeks to go even further with this new bill, which is accompanied by an act that plans to eliminate any previous conviction for possession of less than one pound of cannabis. USVI senators voted to meet again for a greater consideration, and Bryan expressed confidence that the bill will be approved " local press announced.
The USVI legalization bill does not actually refer to it as "recreational marijuana" but as "non-prescribed marijuana," which is a trick to allow additional income from tourism. Under the new bill, marijuana would not be sold freely, but only to people over 21 who hold a license.
This license would cost $ 10 each for one day, and would be easily purchased without a heavy load of paperwork. The goal is clear: American tourists from states where marijuana remains illegal.

Today is the Apple event where Apple will present the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 plus. The rumors say that it won't be much different to the iPhone 6s plus I already have. Better camera with a dual lens, faster processor, more RAM, more storage options and some new colors... And still the same very expensive price.
I will probably never ever buy such an expensive phone again. There is no need anymore.
I still have my iPhone 6s plus, even if it is collecting dust at the moment. I haven't used it since I bought the Nexus 6p. No need for it. I also have an iPhone 6 that I'm still carrying around always with me in a wallet case. The only reason I still do that is because of my Apple Watch that needs an iPhone to be connected to.
I want an Android Wear Watch so I don't have to do that anymore though. Maybe someday I will buy one. It would be fun to try.

What Is Herringbone Dress Shirt? (Solved)
Herringbone shirts, which are more textured than regular shirts, are popular for both formal and informal use. Herringbone is simply a twill that is mirrored when woven to provide the appearance of a chevron or "V-shaped" pattern in the fabric. The name of the fabric derives from the fact that it resembles the bones of a herring fish.
Herringbone shirts are named for their similarity to the v-shaped bones of the herring fish, which are used to make them. When woven, the fabric has a textured appearance and is fundamentally a twill that is mirrored to form a chevron pattern. Herringbone weaves are somewhat heavier in weight than plain weaves, and they are more commonly seen in seasonal shirting textiles for cold weather use.

What is Herringbone white shirt?
Herringbone weave shirts feature a design that resembles a zigzag or a fish skeleton, depending on the manufacturer (hence the name).
What is the difference between twill and poplin shirts?
Twill, like poplin, is a plain-weave fabric woven using fine warp yarns and heavier weft yarns, but twill and poplin are both plain-weave fabrics. While both poplin and twill are durable fabrics, poplin is often softer than twill. Poplin is also more breathable than other fabrics.
Is Herringbone formal?
Herringbone suits are high-quality formal ensembles that are made using high-quality fabrics and fasteners.
Is herringbone only for winter?
Whether it's scorching summer days or chilly winter mornings, the time to wear a herringbone weave attire is always appropriate.
Is herringbone fabric durable?
The same endurance that herringbone provides for roads is the exact same reason why the pattern continues to be a popular choice for fabric patterns as well. Additionally, the herringbone pattern may be used in a variety of other, somewhat unexpected situations.
What does herringbone fabric look like?
In textiles, the term "herringbone weave," sometimes known as "broken twill weave," refers to a characteristic V-shaped weaving pattern typically found in twill cloth. It differs from a simple chevron in that it has a break at the reversal point, which gives it the appearance of a broken zigzag. Herringbone is the name of the design because it is reminiscent of the bones of a herring fish.

What is a twill shirt?
A twill is created by weaving each warp and weft thread over and under two vertical threads, resulting in a characteristic diagonal pattern on the fabric. It is softer and thicker than poplin and is also more resistant to wrinkles. It is also easier to iron than poplin. We recommend a twill shirt for the following situations: ideal everyday shirts from work to travel.
What is a textured shirt?
The physical surface of a piece of fabric is referred to as its texture. It looks to have noticeable unevenness at times, yet at other times it appears entirely smooth. Texture can have an impact on the appearance of a garment's color and pattern, however this is not always the case. The weave of a piece of fabric refers to the method through which the threads are joined together to form a cohesive whole.
What is a herringbone tie?
With a rough herringbone weave that has a slight shine to it, the Herringbone shirt is our most formal option. Weddings, formals, and black tie gatherings are the most suited occasions for this dress. It features a flat finish, which makes it a no-brainer for matching with any tie that is now available.
What is the best material for a dress shirt?
If you're looking for a dress shirt material, cotton is the most popular choice since it is the most breathable, durable, and comfortable of the three options. In addition, the strength of cotton fibers allows for a wide range of weave types and thread counts to be used in the fabric.
Which is better poplin or cotton?
Poplin is a kind of cotton that is both sturdy and lightweight. Though comparable to quilting cotton, it has a lighter heaviness and is less likely to wrinkle than quilting cotton. Lawn cotton is woven in a tight weave, but with a finer thread, which results in a buttery smooth surface feel on the surface.

It's generally really sparkly when it's new. Oxford cloth in its regular form is a considerably heavier, rougher, and more casual-looking fabric. Pinpoint is a versatile piece that can be used for both ordinary work and elegant occasions.

I am attending a business writing course to help improve my writing skills, and one of the projects to do is a research paper. Luckily we are able to choose our own topics, and were asked to keep it related to our field.
I work in the computer field, but did not want to write a research paper related to that, so I chose to write a paper on Electrical Distribution and Safety, which I have had to do some work in when laying out computer rooms.
I plan on targeting the average person, who does not have a good understanding of how the power is distributed, the safety features, why some things are done, and common mistakes.
I will start off with some basic information on voltages, amperages, and watts. I will then move into transformers, phases, and define grounded/grounding conductors.
After the background I plan on covering overcurrent protection, GFCIs, and AFCIs, and move into common wire configurations for homes and businesses.
I will then cover what can go wrong with distribution, like not having a ground, or a bad neutral, or placing to much current onto a wire.
My reasoning behind this is seeing many people claiming they can just run a wire to the nearest copper pipe to make a ground or not knowing how a GFCI works.
Does anyone have any book recommendations that I can use for reference and citing? I already plan to reference the NEC, but I would like to find a couple of books on GFCI, AFCI, and Distribution/Transformers. Even general books on electrical safety would work.
Xanathar, I don't have a book recommendation but I do have a general suggestion. I work in a place where the safety issues range from standard safety issues like you'd encounter in a home all the way up the scale to radiation and similar risks. Safety events or failures of the large & catastrophic kind are relatively rare. More risk events occur in the lower, more mundane, levels of exposure or activity. My suggestion is that while you research and explore the primary objective of Electrical Distribution and Safety, include even the mundane safety measures in your paper. I often try to imagine letting a 3-year old loose in a location and what risks they'd reveal, for example.


TT+, AJ+, ATs, KQs -- If nobody has raised yet, I enter the pot with a $15 raise no matter which position I'm in.
77-99, KQo, KJ, KTs, QJ, QTs, JTs -- I'll enter for $15 if I'm in LJ, HJ, CO, or BTN. Anything earlier I tend to fold since these hands are too weak and never forget our strategy revolves around nut peddling.
If someone 3-bets on top of your raise, 4-bet with QQ+ and AK. Make sizing about 2.5x or just jam all in if you aren't too deep. You can call with AQ and JJ to see what happens. If their 3-bet is small you can proceed with caution with hands like AJ and KQ and TT-JJ but be prepared to fold if the flop isn't favorable.
If anyone else has already raised before you, 3-bet with TT+, AQ+. Sizing should be 3x of whatever they raised. You can call speculative hands if the amount to call is <5% of the effective stack. Speculative hands are small pairs and suited connectors.
If someone 4-bets you (over your 3-bet), 5-bet jam with AA and KK. I tend to fold JJ. QQ and AK are tough ones. If it's a tight nitty player, I fold. If it's a loosey goosey or a maniac I will call to see what flops. However, if you don't have many chips left you can jam the QQ and AK also.
If you're in LJ, HJ, CO, or BTN and nobody has raised (all folds or limps) you can limp in with speculative hands like small pocket pairs <66 or suited connectors.
If you are multiway (4 or more players to the flop) you should bet when you flop a strong made hand like true 2-pair or better. DO NOT slow play because people can catch up to beat you.
I also like to bet when I have a draw of 12 outs or more (usually flush and straight combo or a flush draw with a pair).
I tend to check/call with draws that have 8 or 9 outs (OESD, double gutshots, or flush draws).
Do NOT overplay your one pair hands. They are usually no good in multiway pots.
If you are heads up (hopefully you get this scenario a lot!), ALWAYS c-bet the flop. Hit or miss just bet. Use 2/3 pot. THERE IS AN EXCEPTION: If your opponent is a calling station that literally calls everything, if you missed the flop you should just check since you're never getting him to fold. Against all normal players or tight players, c-bet all your range because 60% of the time they have missed the flop and will probably fold.
If you are 3-ways to the flop and you missed the flop, c-bet if you're last to act and both players have checked to you. AGAIN, don't do this when there is a total calling station is there since he won't fold. If you hit a strong hand like top pair or better, c-bet no matter what position you're in. Use about 1/2 pot since you're gonna have a larger pot than when you're heads up.
If you were NOT the last aggressor pre-flop (you just called someone or limped in) then you should generally check to the last aggressor. Play your strong hands, give up with your weak hands.
If you find yourself at the turn and you think you have the best made hand, bet! 1/2 pot on safe boards, 2/3 on draw heavy boards to make it expensive for draws to chase.
If you got called on the flop and the turn doesn't help you, you should usually give up and just check/fold. Live to fight another day.
However, there are some scenarios you should fire a second bullet.
1. If you turn a draw of 8 outs or more.
2. If the turn brings a scary overcard. What do I mean? Let's say the board was like T,8,4 -- you c-bet with AJ and villain called. Turn is a KING. You should fire out again because your opponent most likely won't have a king, but it looks like you could easily have it and scare them off.
If you think you have the best hand, value bet. Don't go for check-raises because they often check back and you lose value.
If you have nothing, check/fold and give up. I am not a fan of triple barrel bluffing. It won't work in 1/2 often enough to be profitable.
If you have a marginal hand that may or may not be best (bluff catcher), just check or check-call. I'm not a huge fan of thin-value because you might get blown off your hand by a raise.
Looks pretty solid to me. How have your results been lately? What have you learned from this strategy and do you deviate from it? Or in other words, EXPLOIT your opponents?
Would love to hear some updates!
I play way tighter that this with a couple of exceptions. I play primarily 1/3 and 2/3 NL, 100BB cap games where the average player buys in short (somewhere around $100) and where the drop is $6 a hand plus $1 if a river is dealt. Against the short stacks, raising hands a set amount (like $15 in your case) gets me into awkward spots post flop due to stack sizes.
As Z7 says, adjust to exploit your player pool. There are times when I'm going to raise to $50 or $60 (and probably still get a couple of calls). Other times, I'm folding hands like AJ from up front. I spend the first few orbits watching my opponents and trying to figure out things like VPIP, when they fold, when they call, etc.


What Can My Cardiologist See From My Echocardiogram?
An Echocardiogram (Echo) is a commonly used diagnostic test which uses sound waves to assess the health of your heart. To the inexperienced patient, the name itself can be intimidating. Not to mention the fact that it sounds far too much like another diagnostic test: the electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). If your cardiologist has asked you to have an Echo performed, these are the pieces of data you can expect to find.
An enlarged heart is a symptom of another condition ranging from high blood pressure or pregnancy to problems with the heart valves or anemia. Unfortunately, an enlarged heart can be very dangerous and may cause heart failure, blood clots, or even cardiac arrest. After your Echocardiogram provides results of an enlarged heart your cardiologist will work with you to come up with a plan to treat the issue causing this particular symptom.
Often patients who have previous damage to their heart from a heart attack or heart disease end up with cardiac muscles that are weakened and not properly pumping blood and vital oxygen to the rest of the body. These weakened muscles can be seen using an Echo.
Heart valves that don't open or close properly can disrupt the amount of blood that is circulated throughout your body. A common occurrence of this is called the heart murmur, which refers to the sound the heart makes when the valves don't close properly and blood is leaked back into the heart instead of forward as it should. Your cardiologist might order an Echocardiogram if she hears a murmur through the stethoscope or if you have other symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, or swollen ankles.
Patients who have already suffered a stroke may be given an Echo to determine where the blockage is that caused the stroke. Additionally, the test will show existing tumors in the heart. Often patients don't realize they have cardiac tumors until the Echocardiogram test is used for another reason like a heart attack or stroke.
Cardiologists have a battery of tests at their disposal to assess their patient's heart health. The Echo is one very commonly used test which provides a clear picture of the structure of the patient's heart and what is occurring inside the chest. If you have a family history of heart disease or are concerned about how your lifestyle is affecting your heart health and are not already under cardiac care, contact us today.

Yogi Rock is a rock on Mars that was discovered during the Mars Pathfinder mission in 1997, and named by Geoffrey A. Landis. The rocks found on the mission were named after famous icons and figures, and Yogi Rock was thought to resemble the head of a bear looking away from the spacecraft.  As a result, it was named for the famed cartoon character Yogi Bear.

The rock was the first on Mars found to be made of basalt, which suggests previous volcanic activity in the region as basalt is an igneous rock. The smoothness of the surface also suggested the past existence of water in the region.  Yogi was also the first large rock reached by the Sojourner rover and was analyzed by an alpha proton X-ray spectrometer to determine its composition.

Images of Sojourner approaching Yogi used in the opening credits of Star Trek: Enterprise made that television program the first science fiction television or film production to use footage taken on another planet.

Our vision is that current and future generations of bininj (Indigenous people) and balanda (non-Indigenous people) can work together to support the sustainability of the vital land management and cultural heritage work while enabling ongoing self determination for the people of West and Central Arnhem Land.
Education on Country
The Nawarddeken Academy is a unique school employing a 'country as classroom' philosophy, with teaching and learning experiences drawing on the natural and cultural landscape of the Warddeken Indigenous Protected Area. Both Western learning and customary knowledge and practices are valued and students learn in Kunwinjku, their first language, alongside English.
Native Species Conservation
Warddeken has initiated a world class long-term species monitoring and recovery project to reverse the dramatic decline in small mammal species diversity and population over the past two decades.
The project was launched in July 2016 after the Warddeken Traditional Owners requested more roles and opportunities for women. With the appointment of a dedicated Women's Ranger Coordinator this has become a reality. Women now make up 50% of the total workforce of Warddeken Land Management Limited and conduct 40% of all hours worked by rangers. This project achieved its year three target in the first year.
Food manufacturer Simplot Australia is funding fortnightly air charter deliveries of food and supplies into the remote outstations of Kabulwarnamyo and Manmoyi, enabling Indigenous rangers to be based in the communities all year round.
Protecting Cultural Heritage
The Warddeken IPA encompasses what may be the largest undocumented body of rock art in the world. Less than 5% of the 1.4 million hectare Indigenous Protected Area has been surveyed and it is estimated that there are more than 30,000 individual rock art sites yet to be documented.
