Barman and Regarding Cocktails author Sasha Petraske
How Sasha Petraske reinvented the speakeasy
Our new book by the barman sheds light on how the native New Yorker changed the way we drink
When Sasha Petraske opened his first bar in 1999, he did not really intend to change the way drinks were served, drunk and appreciated, beyond the small confines of his establishment on Eldridge Street on the Lower East Side. The New York barman and bar owner had far more modest ambitions. All Petraske really wanted, according to the New York Times' cocktail writer Robert Simonson was to offer "good drinks served by conscientious people to appreciative customers on their best behavior."

Yet at the time, even this modest proposal looked pretty difficult. Back then, "the average bar conjured up images of louts drinking for its effect, making what is jocularly referred to in drinking circles as 'poor decisions,' and exhibiting the camaraderie that is just bullying," recalls Simonson in the introduction to our new book Regarding Cocktails. "The bartenders, meanwhile, were indifferent and indolent, clock punchers who put minimal effort into the maybe twelve different orders they regularly answered."
Petraske's bar, opened inside a largely residential, owner-occupied building in Manhattan's Chinatown, couldn't afford to tolerate that sort of behavior, and besides, it wasn't really his style.
Petraske loved jazz, pre-war clothes and gentlemanly manners. His parents and grandparents had been Communists, and while he was no social revolutionary, he believed in workers' rights and ennobling behavior. He even drew up a list of house rules for his bar Milk & Honey, which included "No hooting, hollering, shouting, or other loud behavior," and "Gentlemen will not introduce themselves to ladies."

Rather than drive away proscriptive drinkers, Petraske actually found that his proscriptive stance actually drew in crowds of curious drinkers.
"The speakeasy idea was an accident," he is quoted as saying in our new book. "I never wanted to lock my doors, but despite my best efforts and entreaties someone wrote about the place and the numbers doubled and then quadrupled, the flood gates opened. I locked the doors."
Another reason the numbers spiked was Petraske's drinks. He was very, very good at making cocktails. As a barman and bartender he chilled his glasses, made his own fruit syrups, squeezed his own juice. He also froze his own ice, enabling him to produce high-quality cubes and chunks in varying sizes, and researched and developed his own precise, elegant versions of 20th century cocktails. He even developed 'bartenders choice', a kind of chef's special for the drinking classes.

Though Milk & Honey found favour seventy years after the end of Prohibition, his old timey tastes, strict rules and semi-secret venue drew comparisons with the speakeasies of the 1920s and 30s.
Petraske opened similar bars in New York, called Little Branch and Dutch Kills, and entered into partnerships with likeminded entrepreneurs in London, LA and Melbourne. The bar staff who trained under Petraske also went onto spread his doctrine, and today, it's not too hard to find a hidden-away drinking establishment that favours good old-fashion drinks behavior in most of the world's bigger cities.
Sadly, Petraske didn't live to fully enjoy the changes he brought to bar culture; he died in 21 August 2015, aged 42. Thankfully, he and his widow, Georgette Moger-Petraske, were able to set down his barroom wisdom in a 256 page book, Regarding Cocktails. Filled with 85 recipes, each illustrated with smart, easy-to-follow pictograms, the book also covers everything from how to stir and shake with ice, through to the correct kind of light bulbs to install in order to create a pleasant ambience.

Though he may no longer be with us, this singular barman proved that, in the age when boorish "bro bars" can be found almost anywhere, Petraske proved cocktails can still be a refined, sophisticated, and deliciously secretive experience. We can all drink to that.

Zaporozhye is the third city stop on the AFA Dnepropetrovsk Romance Tour and some would say we have saved the best for last. We believe you will find the attitudes of these women to down to earth and motivated to make a change in their lives.
This unique city called Zaporozhye rests on two opposite banks of the Dnieper River. It is located approximately half-way between Donetsk and Krivoy Roy about 600 km south-east of Kiev and about 80 km south of Dnepropetrovsk.
This 200 year old city is a major steel production center specializing in cold-rolled steel, stainless steal and ball bearings. The city manufactures an array of other products distributed both foreign and domestically.
Zaporozhye is situated about 600 km. South-East of Kiev - Ukraine's capital and is located on the wide plains along both banks of the Dnepr River, which gives Zaporozhye its unique atmosphere.
Zaporozhye was founded as a fortress in 1770. The founders of the town - Russian soldiers who had come here with their families became the first settlers of the future town. Among them were also Zaporozhye Cossacks, who founded a large village nearby after the abolition of the Zaporozhskaya Sechin 1775.
The Dnepr fortified line lost its military significance following the victory over the Turkish Sultanate and the annexation of the Crimean Khanate to Russia in 1783, and the fortress was turned into a possad (trading quarter in the suburbs of a settlement). Since 1785 it was called Alexandrovsk after the commander of the first Russian Army, Prince Alexander Golitsyn. In 1802 the town was included into Ekaterinoslav Province and in 1806 became a district town.
Present-day Zaporozhye has over 1 million inhabitants and is the center of a range of industries and the home to Zaporozhye State University. Railways, highways, airlines and water-ways connect Zaporozhye with many cities and towns such as Moscow, Kiev, Kharkov, Poltava, Simferopol and many others. The town stretches out for over 30 kilometers along the Dnepr river, and in its width the new residential districts extend for 25 kilometers.
There is a Musical and Drama Theater, the Theater of Young Spectators and a Puppet Theater, a concert hall, a circus, and a variety of night clubs. The most remarkable sight and the pride of Zaporozhye's citizens is Khortitsa Island, which is the custodian of an antiquity reserve museum and a nature reserve popular with weekend visitors.
You have a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a splendid city at no extra charge and meet really beautiful women who live there.

Why Do Mosquitoes Buzz
Long, long ago, mosquitoes didn't buzz, they talked and talked.
One day, Mosquito was talking to Iguana, telling her about his vacation, about every-minute of his vacation. Mosquito would not let Iguana say one word. Iguana was so annoyed that she walked away, leaving Mosquito still talking. Iguana grumbled and waved her tail.
She was still grumbling when she passed her friend Snake, and forgot all about saying hello. Snake was feeling hurt. He felt so sad that he slithered down a rabbit's hole.
"Help!" yelled Rabbit as she scurried out hole, terrified of Snake.
"What's wrong ?" cawed Crow as he saw Rabbit racing. Danger must be near . "Run for your lives!" cawed Crow.
Monkey heard Crow's warning and took off through the treetops, leaping branch to branch. When monkey landed on Owl's branch, high up in a leafy tree, Owl's nest tipped off the branch and fell to the ground, breaking Owl's eggs. Owl was heartbroken, so much that she didn't hoot for the sun to come up.
The whole jungle was mad at Mosquito. Finally Owl hooted for the sun to come up and when it did Mosquito lost his voice. All he could do was buzzing in everyone's ears. "Zzzzzzzzzzzz! Is everyone still mad at me !".

English Custom
This anecdote is about two Indians settled in England. One had been living there for some years and had picked up some of their quaint euphemisms. The other, a recent settler, was as yet unaware of them. They were invited for dinner by their English friends. After they had had their drinks, their hostess asked them, "Would you like a wash before I serve dinner?".
The knowledgeable one replied," No, Thanks". The new settler replied, "I wash my hands before I came.".
On their way back after dinner, the older settler admonished his friend," My dear chap, in England " Would you like a wash" does not mean "Would you like to wash your hands." It is a polite way of asking " would you like to urinate?". The new settler made a mental note of it.
Some days later he was invited by another English friend and after he had his drinks he was asked by his hostess: "Would you like a wash before I serve my dinner?".
He replied promptly," No, thank you, madam. I washed against a tree before coming to your house."

Three Cents
The United States Three Cents is an unusual denomination that first appeared in 1851, although pattern coins for the denomination were produced in 1849 and 1850. The original purpose of the Three Cents coins to provide an intermediate denomination between the Cent and Half Dime, making it easier to change some of the odd foreign coins that were legal tender in America at that time. In 1851, postal rates were dropped from five to three cents. While three Large Cents could have been used to purchase a postage stamp, the bulky copper coins were expensive to produce. Thus, a coin of three cents value had two purposes, enough to get the denomination started in 1851. The first Three Cents were made of a low-grade silver. These tiny coins were known officially as "Trimes" and unofficially as "fish scales." They were the first circulating U.S. coin without a depiction of Miss Liberty in some form or other. In 1854, the percentage of silver in the coins was increased to 90%, to match that of the other silver coins in production at the time.

PHL Army, US Navy strengthen bilateral ties
The Philippine Army (PA) and the United States Navy continue to strengthen the two forces' bilateral ties in a courtesy call held in Fort Bonifacio on December 13.
Commander of Army Support Command Maj. Gen. Byron H. Calimag received on behalf of the Army Commanding General the delegates of Navy International Programs Office (NIPO) led by its Director, Rear Adm. Francis D. Morley.
NIPO and PA's cooperation is directed towards enhancing the war capabilities of the Filipino forces particularly in countering terrorism through the additional equipment and trainings. The undertaking will also support the Army's International Defense and Security Engagement as part of the command's Defense Mission.
Some of the equipment that the Army was able to receive through NIPO includes unmanned aircraft systems, night vision devices, and communication equipment. Before the year ends, the PA will also get small arms weapons, ammunition, individual first aid kits, and night vision devices as well as future trainings in using the new equipment.
Morley also recognized the activation of the Army Aviation Regiment as a strategic approach against threats posed by terrorism. On the other hand, Calimag expressed his gratitude and the command's proposed plan of conducting a Joint Visual Inspection for the TC12 Beach Craft and Whiskey Helicopter in 2020.
"Strengthening our relationship with other military counterparts is critical in boosting our capabilities and further capacitate our soldiers in addressing threats and safeguarding the land," said Army Spokesperson Lt. Col. Ramon P. Zagala.

Complaint filed against UCOP executive for alleged racial, sexual harassment, discrimination
Joshua Jordan/File
By Brennan Havens | Staff
Last Updated April 8, 2019
California Scholars for Academic Freedom statement on Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions
UC Board of Regents votes to table proposed nonresident tuition increase
UC Davis employees sue UC Regents, alleging wrongful termination after reporting abuse
Update 04/08/19: This article has been updated to reflect information from UC spokesperson Amy Weitz.
UC employee Elizabeth Rodriguez-Dias filed a complaint against the UC Regents after she was allegedly harassed and discriminated against by her boss Dr. John Stobo, the executive vice president at UC Health.
Rodriguez-Dias was employed by the UC Regents in 1999 as an assistant analyst in the Space Sciences Laboratory. In 2010, she began working for the University of California Office of the President, or UCOP, where she worked as a budget coordinator and director of finance for UC Health under Stobo. In 2018, Rodriguez-Dias left UCOP due to a mental breakdown that required medical leave.
"The University of California Office of the President is aware of the allegations made by a former employee against the executive vice president of UC Health," sad UC spokesperson Amy Weitz in an email. "The University … is unable to comment on personnel matters that may be under investigation."
According to the complaint, which was sent to the Superior Court of California, Stobo allegedly harassed and discriminated against the plaintiff based on race, ethnicity, national origin and sex on a consistent basis. The harassment allegedly included "abusive tirades that regularly led her to tears," according to the complaint.
"All of this harassment, sexual harassment, abuse in her job, led her to have a nervous breakdown — she was devastated, is still devastated," said Alex Austin, the plaintiff's lawyer. "I am in full support of her not going back to her job, horrifying situation."
The complaint document describes instances in which Stobo's harassment and discrimination were "sexual in nature." Stobo allegedly insisted that part of Rodriguez-Dias' job included giving him a back massage with a vibrating massager, once telling Rodriguez-Dias that "his wife did not like touching him," according to the complaint. He also allegedly called Rodriguez-Dias derogatory names repeatedly, and stared at her body inappropriately, making Rodriguez-Dias feel humiliated and uncomfortable, according to the complaint.
Dr. Stobo's harassment and discrimination also targeted her accent, according to the complaint. Stobo allegedly told Rodriguez-Dias that "no one can understand you" on a consistent basis and called her an "Italian princess."
"Referring to grown professional women as 'princesses' is highly offensive, misogynistic and derogatory, ethnicity- based and gender-based terms," the complaint says.
In 2015, Rodriguez-Dias reported the alleged harassment and discrimination to supervisory personnel, which resulted in a consultant meeting with Rodriguez-Dias to "coach" her in navigating the alleged harassment, according to the complaint. In 2017, Rodriguez-Dias again reported Stobo to a public interest investigator, which allegedly again failed to stop the discrimination and harassment.
"Some of the things that he did were really quite egregious," said Austin. "When you have an incredible, brilliant Latino woman who has a bit of an accent and in important meetings he would yell "translation please!"— it's just incredibly demeaning."

A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that Elizabeth Rodriguez-Dias is a UC Board of Regents employee. In fact, she is a UC employee.

Anyway your CPU (Atom X5 Z8550) is weak for emulation (slower than most recent Snapdragon devices). If the compatibity with your kind of CPU is the problem here, I don't think the devs will want to work on it as very few Android devices use it, and they're not powerful enough. If you want to run Dolphin on your tablet, you should try to install Windows on it, don't know if it's possible, but I've seen many devices with same specs running Windows, and some Windows + Android, your CPU is totally compatibile.
This appears to be caused by a bug in dolphin's use of GL extensions. Do you know what driver and GL_EXTENSIONS the device uses? A dump from one of the many "gl extension viewer" might be useful.
As an aside, x86_64 seems to work fine on Android here, but the Intel SoC in that likely won't be powerful enough to run much anyway, so support likely won't be a high priority.
Yeah, we still have a driver issue, HD Graphics has very very poor OpenGL support on Windows, so don't expect anything good on Android...The luck for Windows users is the DirectX, which is not as bad as OpenGL support. I use modded drivers on my Laptop (which gave me a better performance), anyway the performance difference between OpenGL and DirectX on Dolphin is scary, while I get 20 FPS on DirectX, I get 6 FPS on OpenGL, and Dolphin runs better on OpenGL than DirectX.

If I remember correctly, the Intel Android driver is based on mesa (the same as their desktop linux) (EDIT2: Apparently I do not remember correctly, not sure what they use, but might be the same codebase as the windows drivers) - which is a completely different codebase than the Windows one. And, in my opinion, much better than the windows one too. Certainly in terms of feature support and correctness.

I can't find the words to express my gratitude to the extraordinary people who made my Violin Concerto possible: I owe its existence entirely to the vision, talent and generosity of Gustavo Gimeno and Patricia Kopatchinskaja. In November 2016, thanks to the foresight of Gustavo, Patricia and I had a magical, and extremely fortunate, first meeting in Valencia – the kind of meeting where feelings of trust, friendship, and mutual understanding were evident from the very first moment. Soon after that, the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg – who certainly know how to make a composer very happy! – set in motion a concerto commission, joined by several other orchestras.
Francisco Coll | Violin Concert | Sketches
The three years it took me to write this concerto were a unique and marvellous experience. By the end of the first year the initial sketch was complete and a mysterious, lonely time followed. A unique and very necessary dialogue opened up between the concerto and myself, that allowed me to retouch overlooked aspects, to get rid of everything unnecessary and, finally, to focus on filing away the work's rough edges. It was exciting to see the concerto transforming itself – like some great elastic animal – into something different; my initial idea was too obvious, and I am happy that the music was able to alert me to this. The concerto encouraged me to face things that I had never done before, and seemed to be telling me: «don't try to please a conservative public, or the institutionalized avant-garde, just write what you hear, and dare to fail.» An uncontrollable energy emerged from nowhere, a poetic beauty, of a kind I had never consciously aimed toward, rose to the music's surface.
Gradually, I have begun to understand this Violin Concerto as a portrait of Kopatchinskaja. Like every portrait, it includes traces of its creator inextricably intermingled with uniquely personal reflections on its subject. One of the most exhilarating experiences of my creative life, it has expanded and, I hope, enhanced my perspectives as an artist.

Allen Carr's Easyway will help you become more energetic, youthful and happy again. You can become completely free from alcohol.
Allen Carr was a chain-smoker who used to smoke 100 cigarettes a day until, after many failed attempts, he managed to quit in 1983. It was at this time that he developed his uniquely successful method. He realised that he had discovered what all smokers dream of; an easy way to get free!
The 6-hour seminar that he developed was first launched in his home in London, England, and now it is available in cities across the UK, and in over 50 countries worldwide. From the USA to Ukraine, from Austria to Australia and from Mexico to Mauritius. The worldwide Head Office remains in London, England.
The beauty of Allen Carr's Easyway method is that it can be applied to any addiction or issue and Allen Carr and his team undertake to apply the method to as many other problems as possible. The method as applied to alcohol was one of the first and has been incredibly successful. So much so that for the seminars we provide the same money back guarantee that has been offered at our stop smoking centres for more than 30 years It is estimated that over 30 million people have successfully used Allen Carr's Easyway method.

Where in the world we could play in one place with Dragon or Spider cubes, make combinations at the Tic-Tac-Toe castle, sing with Siren, rotate Three-headed dragon scales, put on chemist's gloves at the Chemistry Laboratory or watch how the Skeleton's Chair works? Hola, school by play is waiting for you!
Tatralandia itself in autumn is a place as if it was from another world – colourful, full of dreams, fun, and even manifold animations at weekends. And with possibility to relax in Tropical Paradise under palm trees, have fun on water slides, surfs or swim in a number of pools it's very easy to decide where to spend your holiday with children. Make a trip and visit the Mexican family. Raffaelito has grown up and he is going to go to Fantasy School.
What would school be like without learning? Tatralandia is an unusual place full of attractions. Take a walk through our educational path where all IQ Points can be found. They reveal the curiosities you haven't had a clue about.
Did you know that there are exotic plants such as banana and coconut trees in Tatralandia? Did you know that you'll come across a shark, Nemo - a famous fish, and even a tiger? Have you got a clue that there is a pirate ship wrecked long years ago and you can meet pirates up to now? And did you know that you'll bath in salt water, saltier than in the Baltic Sea? But that's not all. If you want to know and see more, come to Tatralandia and IQ Points will reveal curiosities arousing interest of all ages.
Come and try the school in another way. Here are the most remarkable subjects and you can get involved in the Tatralandia's Best Pupil children's game. Every little visitor becomes a pupil in the Fantasy School, receives a record book and will be rewarded stamps and marks for successful tasks. If pupils want to collect all stamps and get full marks, they have to go through all of the tasks in the IQ School by Play game. Each task is unique and can teach pupils in a fun way more about Hocus-Pocus Chemistry, Skeletonuage, Natureology and Body-Practice.
If you need more, have a clear aim for the third day in November – to accompany Raffaelito to Fantasy School and enjoy the unforgettable adventure with him. In the morning you will devote yourselves to Fantasy School and in the afternoon you can have fun because – the Halloween school will be full of spooks and skeletons, crazy teachers, and cheerful creative workshops. You will also meet an unforgettable schoolkeeper, listen to music and sing songs. Fantasy without limits, who would miss it?

Holding a position open after a specific hour will enable XForex to add a funding Premium or subtract it from your account. This will cover the benefit/cost of the associated funding. The Premium Time will be about 22:00GMT (21:00DST).
To view the funding Premium per day for a specific instrument, select the instrument desired and the Premium per day will be displayed with that specific instrument.
The settlement day will be two days after the trading day as deals are settled the next two business days (T+2) from the trading day (opening/closure of a position). This day is also called the value day. For example, if your deal was opened on Wednesday the 23rd of April the value day will be the 25th of April. If the deal was opened on Wednesday and closed on Thursday, then automatically the system will charge for 3 nights premium as the value date of the opened deal was Friday and of the closed deal was Monday (next week). Therefore the charge will be 3 times the rate of the Premium. In case of weekends and holidays, the premium is multiplied by the number of these days.

The Female Virtuosos is a 1693 comedy play by the English writer Thomas Wright. It is based on the 1672 play Les Femmes Savantes by the French writer Molière about two young sisters who try and get out of a marriage arrangement with a foppish idiot so they can marry the men they love.

It was staged by the United Company at the Dorset Garden Theatre in London. The cast included Cave Underhill as Sir Maurice Meanwell, George Bright as Sir Timothy Witless, John Bowman as Sir Maggot Jingle, George Powell as Clerimont, John Hodgson as Meanwell, Joseph Haines as Bully, Frances Maria Knight as Mrs Leigh Lovewitt, Anne Bracegirdle as Mariana, Susanna Mountfort as Catchat, Elinor Leigh as Lady Meanwell and Jane Rogers as Lucy.
Thomas Doggett wrote and performed the prologue. Incidental music was provided by Henry Purcell.

It was revived in 1721 by the Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre to run against Colley Cibber's The Refusal, a new adaptation of Molière's original play.

Chuck Grassley Says He Wouldn't Consider SCOTUS Nominee In 2020
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley says he would not consider a Supreme Court nominee in 2020. But does he really mean it?
Doug Mataconis · Wednesday, October 10, 2018 · 8 comments
As James Joyner noted earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said over the weekend that he would not commit to the idea of applying the Merrick Garland precedent to a Supreme Court nominee that President Trump might submit to the Senate during the 2020 election years. McConnell's argument, based on the idea that his so-called precedent was based on the premise of a Senate controlled by the opposing party to that of the sitting President is, of course, a bit of legerdemain that is quite obviously not based in reality and that the Merrick Garland ploy was, as I said at the time, purely a political gamble by Senate Republicans that they would end up winning the Presidential election and be able to replace the late Anontin Scalia with a conservative Justice. To McConnell's mind, if there would be a Supreme Court vacancy in the 2020 election due to retirement or some other reason, the Senate would move forward with the confirmation process notwithstanding the fact that they would likely be called out as hypocrites.
Senator Chuck Grassley, who heads the Senate Judiciary Committee and would likely retain that position if Republicans maintain their hold on the Senate, doesn't share the opinion of the Majority Leader:
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) said Tuesday that he would not allow a Supreme Court vacancy to be filled in 2020, a position that puts him at odds with the Senate's top Republican on an issue that has inflamed partisan tensions for more than two years.
In an interview with Fox News Channel's Martha MacCallum, Grassley was asked whether he believes the Senate should take up a hypothetical Supreme Court nomination during 2020, when President Trump will be up for reelection.
"If I'm chairman, they won't take it up," said Grassley, whose committee is charged with holding hearings on Supreme Court nominees. "No, because I pledged that in 2016, that if the ball's the same as it is. Now, if somebody else is the chairman of the committee, they'll have to decide for themselves. But that's a decision I made a long time ago."
In 2016, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blocked the consideration of President Obama's third nominee to the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland. At the time, McConnell said he was blocking Garland because voters "should have a say in the court's direction" on Election Day. The move infuriated Democrats, who accused Republicans of abandoning their constitutional duty to advise and consent.
But on Monday, McConnell cited a different calculus, telling reporters in Louisville that opposition parties in control of the Senate do not traditionally confirm high court nominees during presidential election years.
McConnell's remarks were viewed as a signal that he would be open to filling a potential Supreme Court vacancy in 2020.
Grassley's remarks mirror those made by Senator Lindsey Graham, who sits on the Judiciary Committee:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Wednesday said he would be willing to hold a Supreme Court seat open until after the election if there is a vacancy during the last year of President Trump's term.
The remarks came after an audience booed and jeered at him as he defended Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
"This may make you feel better, but I really don't care," Graham said. "If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump's term, and the primary process has started, we'll wait until the next election."
The remarks referenced the blockade by GOP senators in 2016 of Merrick Garland, former President Obama's nominee to the Supreme Court to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
Garland was nominated on March 16, 2016, but never received a hearing or vote from Republicans then controlling the Senate.
"If you look back at 100 years, no one has been replaced under that circumstance," Graham told Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg in the interview at the Atlantic Ideas Festival. "I felt like I was doing the traditional thing there."
Graham said that he has "honored" Democrats' Supreme Court picks in the past, a comment that caused the audience to laugh and jeer. Graham voted to confirm Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, both Obama nominees.
"I'm a conservative, proud of it, want conservative judges on the court when it's our turn to pick," he said. "When it's their turn, I've honored their picks."
Kevin Drum isn't convinced:
For six years Democrat Patrick Leahy adhered to an unfavorable blue slip rule in the Judiciary Committee because he trusted Grassley to do the same if Republicans won the Senate. Needless to say, Grassley invented an excuse to change things the very first time Democrats used a blue slip to block a nominee he wanted to confirm.
But now we're supposed to believe that if Stephen Breyer has a heart attack 15 months from now, Grassley will genially give up the chance of creating a 6-3 conservative court. After all, it's only fair, and Republicans are all about being fair!
Well, here's a quick test: Five years ago Grassley was part of the filibuster against all of President Obama's nominees to fill vacancies on the DC Circuit Court. Ideology wasn't at play, he insisted. The court was just underworked and didn't need to be filled up. But guess what? Now that a Republican president is nominationg Republican judges, things have changed: a few months ago Republicans unanimously voted to fill an empty seat on this underworked court. And with Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, now they have another empty seat to fill.
Republican promises about judges aren't worth the oxygen they use to utter them. If and when the time comes to confirm a Republican to the Supreme Court, Grassley will invent some reason why things are different this time and his promise doesn't apply.
Drum's cynicism, though it is obviously based in his partisan preferences, may be well-founded. Back in August of 2016, just two months prior to the election, Grassley suggested that there could be an opening for a hearing on Merrick Garland's nomination after the election. At the time, it was unclear if Grassley was speaking for anyone but himself or if he was confirming speculation that Senate Republicans would seek to quickly confirm Garland in the event Hillary Clinton won the election in order to prevent her from naming someone far more liberal and far younger in Garland's place after she took office. That, of course, never happened and we can only speculate what the Senate GOP would have done had Clinton won the election instead of Trump. Nonetheless, Drum does have a point that, under the right circumstances, it's easy to believe that Grassley would find away around his apparent promise.
Realistically speaking, the odds that there will be a Supreme Court vacancy in 2020 that would require the Senate to consider a new nominee seem pretty low. On the conservative side of the Court, and after the death of Justice Scalia and the retirement of Justice Kennedy, the two oldest members of the Court are Justice Thomas, who is 70, and Justice Alito, who is 68. While there have been some rumors from time to time that Justice Thomas has considered retirement at an earlier enough time that he can enjoy his time off with his wife and family, there is no reason to believe that he is ready to step aside just yet. Additionally, with the retirement of Justice Kennedy, Thomas is now the longest-serving Justice on the Court which means that, among other things, he has the authority to assign opinion writing when he is not on the same side of an issue as the Chief Justice. He may wish to spend several years enjoying this new status on the Court especially since there is no sign that he is in ill health or suffering from any conditions that might cause him to retire early. Additionally, if Justice Thomas is considering retiring, it's likely that he'd do so at the end of the Court's current term in June 2019 rather than waiting until an Election Year. Similarly, Justice Alito has only been on the Court for about thirteen years, doesn't appear to be suffering from any health issues, and seems unlikely to step aside any time in the next couple years. On the liberal side of the Court, Justices Ginsburg (85) is in good health and is unlikely to step aside voluntarily while Trump is in office and Justice Breyer (80) is also unlikely to retire while a Republican is in the White House. Beyond those four Justices, everyone else on the Court ranges in age from Justice Sotomayor at 64 to Justice Gorsuch, who is 51. None of these people is likely to step aside. Thus, we may not see another Supreme Court fight for the remainder of President Trump's first term unless someone changes their mind or in the event there is a medical reason for one of them to step aside, which hopefully won't happen.
The other factor that could end up avoiding a conflict between Grassley and McConnell in the event of a nomination battle in 2020 is the fact that Grassley may not be the Chair of the Judiciary Committee after this year. As Jazz Shaw notes, there have been some rumors that McConnell may wish to move Grassley over to head the Senate Finance Committee in the new Congress. This is a far more powerful position than heading the Judiciary Committee and its an assignment that Grassley would be unlikely to refuse if the offer were made. Additionally, it's worth noting that if Republicans hold on to the Senate in November, Grassley would become the new Senate President Pro Tempore due to the fact that he would be the longest-serving Republican in the Senate due to the retirement of Utah Senator Orrin Hatch, making him third in line for the Presidency behind the Vice-President and the Speaker of the House. If Grassley steps aside as Chairman on Judiciary then Graham would be the most likely successor since he has seniority, but McConnell, ever the tactician, could seek to sidestep Graham and put someone more reliable in the position.
Thus, while these statements may seem to set up a conflict between McConnell and Grassley should they both be in the same position in 2020, the odds that a nomination will even come up are fairly low. That being said, anything's possible so, as they say, stay tuned.

So Grassley, a Republican, gives us his word that he will adhere to principles. I think I would have to add money to that just to bring it up to "worthless".
Daryl and his brother Darryl says:
Grassley won't…until McConnell tells him to.
This pretense of ethical behavior is laughable.
Geezus, but they must think we're stupid.
I think he is just expecting to protect America from a liberal justice appointment.
Once the Dems take the House and Senate in 2018, and Trump and Pence are impeached and deposed by the end of 2019 (following FBI investigations for fraud and collusion), then … according to constitutionally mandated presidential succession…
Pesident Pelosi could potentially nominate a judicial replacement, or turn it up to 11.
Yeah… that DID make me smile! 🙂
I'd like to believe it.
I'd like it more to find someone who wholeheartedly believes it, because I've this dang bridge I've been meaning to sell.
Had Clinton won, I've no doubt that 1) The GOP would have rushed to confirm Garland RIGHT NOW!, and 2) should Obama have withdrawn the nomination, or Garland withdrawn himself from consideration, the GOP would have yelped loud enough to be heard clear across the galaxy.
Argon says:
"But does he really mean it?"
He'll do what he's told to do. It's what he's always done.
Of course he's lying. Obviously he's lying. He's a Republican. Why are we even discussing this?
Don't ever try to kick that football…

Once Again, Retirement Speculation Circles Around Justice Kennedy


Adapted from the Pakistani writer, Saba Imtiaz's novel, Karachi You're Killing Me, the movie revolves around a character named Noor, played by Sonakshi Sinha. She plays a young, unfocused Indian journalist working at a news agency who has to deal with mishaps on a daily basis. How she struggles to manage between her professional and personal life is what the story mainly consists of. Directed by Sunhil Sippy, Noor depicts a very relatable story through a character that most people can easily identify with.
Noor's misadventures are not extraordinary but it's her pessimism and tendency to blow things out of proportion that make things worse than they are. From her perception, things don't seem to be working at all, ever. She keeps complaining about her life and the lack of opportunities to shine in her immediate environment, yet she never makes little effort to make her own path. Instead, she seems to be creating her own issues.
Her personal life centers around her two best friends, Zara Patel (Shibani Dandekar) and Saad (Kannan Gill). In a fateful meeting, she stumbles across Ayananka Bannerjee (Purab Kohli) who is an ex-war reporter. They start hanging out and Noor gradually falls for him. Noor's house helper, Malti (Smita Tambe) unknowingly divulges some shocking details to Noor about her brother's ill-health. Thanks to Noor's instinct, she finds her big story there but just when Noor's journalistic career is about to flourish, heartbreak, betrayal and threat pulls her down and forces her to abandon her duties.
This movie's main highlight is Sonakshi's most candid performance. She is quite a natural and nails her scenes, especially the comedic ones. For instance, in one scene when she is dating an incompatible person in a pair of borrowed of jeans, she says, "Main Gaurav ki life aur Zara ki jeans mein kabhi fit nahi ho sakti thi." Also, the song "Gulabi Ankhen"is a treat to watch in theatres, so be sure to not miss it!
Sometimes everything you are looking for in life, may very well be sitting right before you.

Jason Pierre-Paul thinks he's halfway there
Posted by Darin Gantt on July 28, 2012, 11:35 AM EDT
Yesterday, we had Steve Smith saying he wanted the Panthers to double their offensive output, which would put them over 50 points per game.
Today, Jason Pierre-Paul of the Giants raised the hyperbole bar, saying that he's about 50 percent of where he could be as a pass-rusher.
That would be after a 16.5-sack season which saw him earn Pro Bowl honors.
"I am still improving," Pierre-Paul said Saturday, via Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPNNewYork.com. "Trust me, I don't know it all, I still got a lot to learn in this game of football. I am like right here."
That's when he put his hand at his chest level, then raised it over his head to show how much higher he could go in his third season.
"I am about 50 [percent]," Pierre-Paul said. "I am still learning. That is the good thing about it. I want to come out here and learn and keep on improving."
Along with Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora, he gives the Giants plenty of pass-rush, but Pierre-Paul is trying to maintain his humility, even as he's poised to break out as one of the top defensive players in the game.
"I am just trying to be that 20-year-old kid trying to make a football team and be a sponge to the game and teach these rookies something too," Pierre-Paul said. "That is basically it. Stay a 20-year-old kid trying to make the football team like I don't even have a spot on the team."
If he gets even 5 percent better than he was last year, he'll be making plenty of teams, like the kind that play in Hawaii.

It'd be pretty scary if he's right and he really only his half way to his full potential. Could be the next Strahan
jbl429 says:
He's already made the Pro Bowl. Chances are he'll make it plenty more times in his career. Something tells me he'd prefer to hoist the Lombardi a few more times instead.
surebetpapanick says:
JPP is the most athletic player in the NFL. We might be watching the best defensive player to the game, when it is all said and done.
zambrano38cubs says:
Julius Peppers in the making
tehmuff1nm4n says:
To say we might be watching the best defensive player ever to play the game is a little early. After a few more seasons we can make that declaration. Until then it will always be Reggie White.
joeyd524 says:
sorry reggie its LT notice the caps
east96st says:
killer678 – IF he stays healthy, and in football that's always an "if", he'll be better than Strahan. Even Strahan would admit he didn't have the physical tools this kid does. Tom Brady didn't complain during Strahan's Super Bowl "It's like throwing in a forest, dude.". The upside this kid has is amazing.
swaz22 says:
They need to check to see if he is legal to be in this country. Send him back to that toilet of country they call haiti.

Q: How to add websocket app as part to my existing project Spring Boot? I have Spring Boot app, and I found interessting example of websocket chat.
I tried to add this: https://github.com/callicoder/spring-boot-websocket-chat-demo
But it is not working for me if I try to do link to my chat.html page from Freemarker template page.
For example, on my main page I have 2 links to other paths with other templates. But I want to add link to static html page with native javascript. How can I implement that?
I tried to add to ChatController GetMapping("/chat") (but it is not the part of java logic, as its static code), so it did not work for me.
When I open that path I receive:
context with path [] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: No primary or default constructor found for class org.springframework.messaging.simp.SimpMessageHeaderAccessor] with root cause

Without controller (GetMapping("/chat")).:
This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

If I do vise versa - add links from websocket app page to Freemarker templates - it is working.

Double Your Donation: They Have Not Disappeared
August 30, 2021 in Blog, Community, Documentation, Legal Advocacy, Press, UN
Today, August 30, marks the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances. On this day, we thank you for helping us ensure the names and stories of the victims live on.
Sukhminder Kaur holds onto the passport of her son, Sarabjit Singh, disappeared January 26, 1989, from his home when he was 17 years-old. Police barged into their home during wedding celebrations. She told Ensaaf, "No one has told me if my son is alive or not. I'm holding on to my own hopes, if someone tries to tell me that he is not, I feel angry. If you see something with your own eyes only then can you find peace. Like I told you before, he was precious."
More than 30 years have passed, and she has not received truth or justice for the disappearance of her son. As the United Nation states, the families of victims "alternate between hope and despair, wondering and waiting, sometimes for years, for news that may never come."
Ensaaf stands in solidarity with victims of disappearances and unlawful killings in Punjab and throughout the world. Thank you for your financial support these past two weeks, helping us reach our goal of $30,000. Your contribution will help us create an undeniable and permanent record of India's atrocity crimes.
Testimonies of Truth: A Video Archive will serve as a permanent, powerful, interactive tool to educate the global community, complementing Ensaaf's data site on Crimes Against Humanity.
Help bring their voices to the entire world!
Kulvir Singh Barapind
July 11, 2012 in UN
Adopted in December 1984, the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT), prohibits nations from extraditing individuals who are more likely than not to be tortured upon return. Ensaaf pursued the commitments promised in the Convention on behalf of Kulvir Singh Barapind.
In the early 1990s, Kulvir Singh Barapind was a senior member of the Sikh Students Federation, a political group advocating for a separate Sikh state, serving in several leadership positions from local president to national joint secretary. Indian security forces severely tortured Barapind, claiming he was responsible for 11 incidents of militancy including attempted murder and robbery. Acts of torture included suspending him in the air from his wrists with his arms tied behind his back, crushing his thigh muscles with a wooden log, tearing his legs apart at his waist to a 180-degree angle, applying electric shocks, and beating him on the soles of his feet. Indian security forces also tortured Barapind's family and friends in their efforts to apprehend him.
After Barapind fled to the US in 1993, the Indian government requested that the US government extradite Barapind in 1997. Although the Eastern District Court of California found that Indian officials used torture, threats to life, and fabrication of evidence to support the extradition request, in November 2005, Judge Wagner certified Barapind's extradition to India for three out of the original 11 cases.
Two weeks later, Ensaaf submitted an application for Barapind's relief to the US Secretary of State, under the CAT, containing a detailed brief with 17 exhibits, including 11 affidavits. Ensaaf also secured the involvement of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Question of Torture, as well as the involvement of Congressman Chris Smith and his Professional Staff Sheri Rickert at the House Subcommittee on Global Human Rights. Further, the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice (CHRGJ) also submitted an amicus letter regarding US international and domestic obligations.
Despite the strong supporting evidence, the US government denied Barapind's application and extradited him to India on June 17, 2006. Ensaaf was able to secure a commitment from the US government to monitor the treatment of Barapind and act on any information of abuse. In addition, Human Rights Watch (HRW) called on the Indian government to ensure that its security forces did not torture or mistreat Barapind.
Update: Barapind was acquitted of all charges and released from detention in April 2008.

Bhalla Commission
Bhalla Commission & Subsequent Subcommittee
Ensaaf provided litigation support, attended hearings, and investigated and documented disappearances and extrajudicial executions in Punjab for the petitioners before the Bhalla Commission, new subcommittee, and NHRC.
In its October 9, 2006 order, which effectively closed all of the major issues dealing with the matter of police abductions leading to disappearances and secret cremations in Punjab, the NHRC appointed a commissioner of inquiry in Amritsar, retired High Court Judge K.S. Bhalla, to identify as many as possible of the remaining 814 cremation victims from the CBI list within eight months. The number of unidentified cremations was subsequently revised to 800.
After its appointment, the Bhalla Commission and NHRC held ex parte meetings, excluding the petitioner Committee for Information and Initiative on Punjab (CIIP). As a result, the NHRC issued an order on October 30, 2006, that limited participation in the Bhalla Commission proceedings to those families who were among the 1,857 families who had submitted claims in response to NHRC public notices issued in 1999 and 2004. The NHRC also restricted all 1,857 claimants from participating in the proceedings by requiring the claimants to resubmit their claims in response to a public notice issued in November 2006. The end result was that only 70 of 1,857 claimants were eligible to participate in the Bhalla Commission proceedings. In its October 30, 2006 order, the NHRC did not provide any rationale or legal justification for narrowing participation in the Bhalla Commission through such a procedure.
The NHRC limited Justice Bhalla's mandate to identifying the remaining illegal cremations, but placed no further restrictions. However, Justice Bhalla demonstrated little interest in the underlying facts. In his February 3, 2007 order, he explicitly stated that human rights violations by the police did not fall within his scope of inquiry. Further, at the April 10, 2007 hearing, Justice Bhalla stated: "Naturally, if the police had known the identity of the individuals, they would have turned over their bodies to the families. What interest would they have in keeping the bodies?"
This comment reflected Justice Bhalla's dismissal of the contention that the police purposely covered up the identities of the individuals and destroyed their bodies in order to eliminate significant forensic evidence of torture and custodial death.
Justice Bhalla continued the NHRC practice of relying on the Punjab police for identifications or confirmations of victims of illegal cremations, instead of developing an independent methodology or conducting his own investigations. While CIIP and other petitioners submitted identification information to Justice Bhalla, he waited for confirmation from the Punjab police. If the Punjab police rejected the identification, Justice Bhalla placed insurmountable evidentiary burdens on the petitioners, requiring them to produce evidence of the dead body or cremation.
The NHRC and Bhalla Commissions never acknowledged the possibility that the remaining 800 unidentified bodies could not be identified from the pool of 1,857 prior claims, and that a more inclusive process of participation was required if the Commissions were serious about establishing the identities of all 800 victims. At least 10 percent of the victims previously identified by the NHRC as having been secretly cremated in Amritsar lived outside of Amritsar district.
The Bhalla Commission held its last hearing on June 29, 2007, and submitted its final report to the NHRC. In its report, the Bhalla Commission submitted the identification information of an additional 90 victims.
New Subcommittee
On March 25, 2008, the NHRC issued its latest order in the Punjab mass cremations case, addressing aspects of the Bhalla Commission's report. Although the NHRC took steps to address its arbitrary procedures and practices, it retained major defects that will likely continue to compromise even its limited objectives. The NHRC granted compensation to the next of kin of 90 victims identified during the Bhalla Commission proceedings for the violation of the "dignity of the dead," ignoring the violation of the right to life preceding the secret cremations. The NHRC established another subcommittee to identify the remaining 657 cremation victims in Amritsar district to which it had limited its inquiry and which had not been identified by the Bhalla Commission. The four-person subcommittee began operating in August 2008, and Ensaaf attended the first hearing. The NHRC placed a senior Punjab police officer on the subcommittee adjudicating the claims.
According to the NHRC's order and public notice outlining the terms of the subcommittee, claim forms would be made available in every district of Punjab at the District Commissioner's office. However, victim families throughout Punjab reported to Ensaaf harassment and defects in the claim form process, making it very difficult for them to obtain, complete, and submit their claims. Further, the subcommittee is continuing the practice of relying on Punjab police, the perpetrators, to investigate and verify the claims. This subcommittee was suspended temporarily during election season in early 2009.

One of the world's biggest luxury yacht shows takes place from Wednesday, September 28 to Saturday, October 1st, marking the 31st year of the show in the Port of Monaco. This represents yet another very busy time within the Principality when those in the yachting industry and beyond, including admirers of superyachts alike make their way to Monaco.
From its beginnings in 1991, the Monaco Yacht Show has been held over four days in late September in the Port Hercule of Monaco, with the expectation of the Covid19 pandemic.
This will be a busy four days of deals and networking with 450 chosen companies, representing only the best in innovation and excellence in yachting, showcase their work in the port alongside naval architects, yacht service providers, and suppliers, plus designers of vessel interiors, manufacturers of tenders and nautical equipment.
Even if you are not a fan of superyachts, the Monaco Yacht Show is still indeed an impressive experience where on display, from many vantage points are 100+ units on display, 40+ new models are on premiere for the world's first look, with an average length of a vessel being 50m with mega yachts exceeding 100m.
In a strong sense, these four days are where the yachting world meets and is one of the most discussed events locally and otherwise every year.

With thousands of people suffering sleep disorders, and poor sleep affecting the health of millions of people around the world, it's no wonder so many people are looking for natural ways to support their bodies in achieving sufficient rest. Having seen the impact lack of sleep can have on a person's wellbeing, Sleep Drops is a company with sleep on their mind. Their carefully formulated range was born of a need for a product that is safe and effective in supporting a restful night's sleep; a need that became obvious to naturopath and founder Kirsten Taylor in her years of clinical practice.
Sleep Drops are a naturopathic product designed to support liver function, the nervous system, and energy levels while you sleep.
The Sleep Drops range includes products for babies, kids and adults, and includes specialist products for more particular requirements such as menopause.
Sleep Drops Sleep Nutrients is a targeted formula to support proper nervous system function and support, which may support relaxation in the body and assist with adequate sleep, showing this company truly is holistic in its approach to this most tiresome affliction.
I have been using these drops for the last three months and they are fabulous. They don't make you groggy or 'knock you out' but they help you fall into a deep sleep.
I used to wake up in the night for a few hours at a time, now I wake up and fall back to sleep more easily. If I'm having a rough night, I take some more drops in the middle of the night.
I was skeptical as to whether these would do much, however, I find them very effective. Almost too effective at times, and I also purchased the Revive drops to help lift the morning fog left from these drops. The sleep drops have allowed me to sleep through very windy nights without waking to every little noise, as well as other things that usually disturb my sleep. They help in quieting that annoying 2am "wide awake" moment where my brain just won't shut-up. Now, instead of being awake till 5min before the alarm, these drops just slow everything down so I can ignore the grand plans my brain is making and get back to sleep.

prolotherapy is also known as nonsurgical ligament reconstruction, and is a treatment for chronic pain.
The treatment is useful for many different types of musculoskeletal pain, including arthritis, back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, unresolved whiplash injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, partially torn tendons, ligaments and cartilage, degenerated or herniated discs, TMJ and sciatica.
First, it is important to understand what the word prolotherapy itself means. "prolo" is short for proliferation, because the treatment causes the proliferation (growth, formation) of new ligament tissue in areas where it has become weak.
Historical review shows that a version of this technique was first used by Hippocrates on soldiers with dislocated, torn shoulder joints. He would stick a hot poker into the joint, and it would then miraculously heal normally. Of course, we dont use hot pokers today, but the principle is similarget the body to repair itself, an innate ability that the body has.

I recently purchased in an eBay auction a fascinating old photo album that once belonged to Homer and Sadie Cook of Harrison County.As I leafed through the album after it arrived at my house, I was amazed at the wonderful views it offered of Harrison, Carroll and Tuscarawas counties in the 1920s, including photographs of the historic New Hagerstown Academy in Carroll County and the village of Conotton in Harrison County.What really caught my eye was a picture of Mount Zion Methodist Episcopal Church, located just east of the hamlet of Feed Springs in western Harrison County. That church has special meaning to me because my grandfather, Earl Baker, was baptized there as a child, and his parents, Marion and Samantha Livingston Baker, were active members of the congregation. Marion's mother, Elizabeth Baker White, also belonged to the church.The late Doris Cox of New Philadelphia had described to me from memory what the building had looked like, but I had never seen a photograph of it before. The church sat at the intersection of Moravian Trail Road and Plum Run Road, but was torn down in the early 1930s.The congregation grew out of a revival held in Feed Springs in the early 1850s by the Rev. Harvey Bradshaw of Uhrichsville. People came from miles around to attend the meetings, which caused so much excitement that three men from Uhrichsville walked home, forgetting that they had left their horses at a stable in Feed Springs.On July 27, 1853, Joseph and Hannah White, members of the congregation, sold one quarter acre of their property to the trustees of the church for $10, to "build a house of worship for the Methodist Episcopal Church."The church was built in 1854, the same year as a Presbyterian church in Feed Springs. Both structures were built by John H.T. Hilton, a Feed Springs carpenter, and both were of a similar design.By 1891, the congregation had 85 members. The building had a seating capacity of 200 people and was valued at $1,000. Its Sunday school had 13 teachers and 62 students.In 1906, the church building underwent extensive repairs. The renovated building was dedicated with an all-day service and picnic on Sept. 7, 1906.Among the families who attended the church were the McCauleys, Wests, Whites, Dixes, Melanys, Utterbacks, Ilers, and Downs. As older members died or moved away, the Mount Zion congregation began to dwindle. It closed in 1924 during the pastorate of the Rev. C.H. Rothel.The land and building became the property of Harry Hillyer, who sold the building to Ben and Charlie Boucher for $20 in the 1930s, according to Doris Cox. Nothing remains of the structure today.

I'd like to see those old photos of Uhrichsville. Could you e-mail them to jon.baker@timesreporter.com ?
I have several old photos 30s 40s of Uhrichsville including what may be one of the earliest color photos. My grandparents, Emmett and 'Mid' operated Baker Drugs and the photo is of their store front. My guess is that since they sold film they were 'trying ' it out. I am more than happy to share it I have a TIFF image (or any derivative you want) available.
I hope my username similarity doesnt cause confusion....if so I'll change it.


USB or Universal Serial Bus was not designed with security in mind. Windows, Linux and OS X basically trust anything plugged in USB port. If a hacker has a very short, but private session with your laptop, this attack vector becomes very feasible. Before actual security threats, let's analyze how USB works in general.
Every USB device has a controller chip and memory storage for firmware, both invisible to the user. Following picture shows it on a flash drive.
When a USB device is plugged into the computer, the chip executes firmware code. On a legit flash drive, firmware is programmed to first register itself as some device and load a driver to be installed. However, the firmware can be programmed to do a vast majority of stuff which makes a big range of possible USB attacks. Most devices are trusted by default – all user interaction needed for a keyboard is plugging it in.
Also, each operating system can be identified because of configuration information that is sent back to the chip. This makes the USB globally a widespread security threat targeting all major operating systems.
Here's a partial list of realistic dangers, starting with the most popular and ending with the most badass.
We're talking about keyboards, mice and other devices that are controlled by the user. Keyboards work as soon as you plug them in, which is very attractive to hackers. You might've heard of RubberDucky or BashBunny, devices that look like regular USB sticks, but they actually emulate pre-programmed keystrokes when plugged in, no questions asked. Such devices can download and execute a backdoor in 20 seconds. If you don't like Ducky's or Bunny's price, I suggest using your Android phone or Arduino Digispark (less than $1.5).
If you lock your computer, those attacks are prevented, but following attack can do significant damage on a locked computer.
My hero's PoisonTap is RasperryPi Zero device ($5) which emulates an Ethernet device over USB. PoisonTap produces a cascading effect by exploiting the existing trust in various mechanisms of a machine and network, including USB/Thunderbolt, DHCP, DNS, and HTTP, to produce a snowball effect of information exfiltration, network access and installation of semi-permanent backdoors. This type of attack works because computers automatically perform a DHCP request upon recognizing a new network card. Such a malicious device assigns an IP address to the computer and tells it that every single IP address in existence is inside of its local area network. From now on, when an infected computer sends a packet to any IP address, it will go through malicious USB-Ethernet device because LAN over WAN routing priority. From that point on, it is possible to poison a victim's cache, DNS table, steal cookies and do more.
Android phones seem to be the simplest tools to perform this attack by taking advantage of a USB-Ethernet service, possibly by "charging" your phone on someone's computer.
Looks like a USB stick, but packs a few capacitors that charge through the USB port and then release the charge at 200+V with the goal of frying the motherboard. Some new computers, e.g. Apple Macbooks, have hardware mitigation for this type of attack, but most computers' motherboards can be destroyed with a USB Killer.
This is a very time-consuming task, but reverse engineering the firmware is very powerful. Not only can we make our own rubber ducky out of regular flash drive (github), we can also change the drivers that get installed on the connected computer. An unpleasant scenario goes like this – someone patches the firmware to install malicious drivers which turn the computer in a spreading point. Each (compatible) USB plugged into the infected computer gets "firmware update" and becomes a spreading stick, resembling STDs perfectly. Combining this idea with identifying the OS and choosing the right payload, every major operating system is at danger.
Most researchers talk about code signing and integrity protection for firmware updates but it's not coming very soon. I recommend using software that disables your USB ports when you lock the screen so you can take your break without worries. As far as malicious firmware and drivers are concerned, there's no feasible and easy patch so be careful what you insert into your USB port.
another way is the use qubes os, the USB vm completly isolates all the usb interfaces from the rest of the system, all the usb can damage are things that are running in the usb domain.
