Founded in 1863, as gold fever swept the country, Wickenburg saw its population swell after gold was discovered in the nearby Vulture Mine.
Founded in 1863, Wickenburg saw its population swell after gold was discovered in the nearby Vulture Mine. Wells Fargo stagecoaches spread the news and new settlers moved to town as gold fever swept the country. Henry Wickenburg, the town's namesake, was among the first pioneer settlers.
The town was incorporated in 1909 and today is a hub of Western tourism and home to several dude ranches. See photos of Wickenburg's historical properties, including Vulture Mine, said to be the best-preserved mine property in the state, and the ghost town Vulture City.
The Santa Fe Depot has a direct association with the arrival of the railroad in Wickenburg in 1894. The railroad at this time was responsible for the renewal of mining activity in the area, which stabilized the town's economy. The building is representative of vernacular railroad architecture.
This station was acquired by the town of Wickenburg from the Santa Fe Railroad in 1984. It was restored and dedicated as the Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce in 1987. The chamber maintains the depot as Wickenburg's visitor center.
Also called the Little Red Schoolhouse. It's the best-preserved example of a one-room brick schoolhouse in Arizona. It's also significant for its association with Ygnacio Garcia, a notable Wickenburg businessman who donated the land for the schoolhouse and served on the board for many years.
George B. Upton was owner of the Gold King Mine and the Upton Oil Co. Upton also served on the Wickenburg City Council circa 1915. Later, his son Eugene and his wife resided here until the late 1940s.
Historians have labeled his home as the most sophisticated example of the Neo-Colonial syle in Wickenburg. It is one of only three local examples of rusticated concrete block construction. Note the leaf-designed block walls that were manufactured locally.
In 1863, German-born Henry Wickenburg discovered gold near the Hassayampa River, on a site that would become the Vulture Mine. The mine began operation and would eventually produce more than $30 million in gold and attract more than 5,000 settlers to the area around the Hassayampa River. The town of Wickenburg was founded.
But Henry Wickenburg's life story didn't end well. In 1905, apparently despondent over flagging finances, he shot himself in the head and died. He was 85.
The hotel was built by Illinois transplant Elizabeth Smith to serve the railroad-related trade. It's described as the best and most elaborate Neo-Colonial work of James Creighton, a prolific Arizona Territorial architect.
The hotel is an important reminder of the origins of tourism in Wickenburg, which became a major economic contributor to Wickenburg's development in the first decades of the 20th century.
Also known as the Helm Barber Shop. An example of Territorial board and batten commercial architecture, typical of small Arizona communities. Historians say it's also a rare surviving example of a boomtown-style facade. It has a storefront window and corrugated tin roof.
Papers filed with the National Register of Historic Places lists the building as historically significant for its social association with prominent local businessmen and landowners.
The Pay 'n Takit Grocery Co. was founded in Phoenix in 1917. The concept of a "cash and carry" self-service grocery store formed the basis of the chain. In 1928, Pay 'n Takit merged with the Safeway Co., and by 1931, 33 stores were operating under the combined name. The building, no longer a market, has been in continual use as a commercial outlet.
It is historically significant in its relation to the commercial development of Wickenburg during the post-WWI tourist boom.
Noted Phoenix architectural firm Lescher and Mahoney designed this building in the Moderne style. It's the largest of two cast-in-place concrete structures in Wickenburg and the only WPA-funded building in the town.
Lescher and Mahoney designed the majority of public education buildings in the state from 1920 to 1949.
At first located in the mining area, the building was moved to this location circa 1904. Owned and operated by Everett and Myrtle Coxwell, the hotel had a restaurant on the street floor and eight rooms upstairs. It's now an antique shop.
The Wickenburg Drug Co. first occupied this building at the corner of Apache and Frontier streets and was followed by Jones Pharmacy. This building, with its unique molded cement blocks, housed Valley National Bank/Bank One from 1946 to 1995.
A.T. and Santa Fe Railroad Engine No. 761 was one of the workhorses of the main line built in 1890. The 1900 Series Southern Pacific Drover Caboose just behind was purchased by the Wellik Foundation in June 2003. The railroad line behind the Chamber of Commerce is called the Peavine Line, laid down in 1893 from Phoenix to Prescott.
History buffs will enjoy the site of Vulture Mine, founded by German immigrant and prospector Henry Wickenburg in 1863. His lucrative discovery set off a gold rush, drawing so many fortune seekers that the town quickly became one of Arizona's largest settlements of its day. The ruins of Vulture Mine and the nearby ghost town,Vulture City, remain largely intact.
Visitors can take a self-guided walking tour featuring information about the assay office, main shaft, blacksmith shop and other structures.
Construction began in 1884 on this stone, adobe, metal and concrete two-story lab, utilized to assay ore sample and produce bars. A small basement room was used to store bullion before shipment.
According to historians, no other historic mine property in the state is as well-preserved and undisturbed as the Vulture Mine property.
At the mine's hanging tree, 18 men reportedly lost their lives for high-grading, or stealing gold.
This over 200-year-old Ironwood tree (Olneya tesota) was determined to be in good health after being evaluated by a horticulturist.

Dueling Reviews
Søren and Josh's Oscarcast
June 27, 2014 By Søren Hough 1 Comment
I tried stand-up comedy once. I wasn't very good at it. But as any successful comic will tell you, this is how everyone's first, second, and hundredth attempts at stand-up go. Some have even gone so far as to call stand-up one of the world's hardest professions. Still, the whole process terrified me. After that first set, I was one and done. I quit.
Perhaps that's where my admiration for Donna Stern (Jenny Slate) first began to take form. Obvious Child opens on Donna telling a stunningly funny series of observational jokes at a small bar in Brooklyn. Her perfectly-timed humor is biting and clever—everything that I never was. But more importantly, her material is fearless. Some jokes are gross, and some are sad, but all of them are soul-searingly honest. This is a good representation of Jenny Slate's character.
Donna isn't complex in the manufactured, over-workshopped Hollywood sense of the word. She is a real person, something much more difficult to convey as an actor. Slate is up to the task. Finally able to break free of her one-note roles in Parks and Recreation and Bob's Burgers, she skips from emotion to emotion with a breezy effortlessness.
Having range for a film like this is necessary, because the heart of Obvious Child is its challenging central premise. Donna has a one night stand with a stranger named Max (Jake Lacy) and soon after learns she is pregnant. After careful consultation with friends and family, she decides to get an abortion.
Owing to taboo, there is an inherent novelty in designing a romantic comedy around abortion. It is remarkable how much plot the film is able to squeeze out of this conceit. Moments as simple as going to Planned Parenthood for counseling or sitting in a waiting room at a clinic become fascinating to watch because they haven't been done before. Sometimes these scenes overbear and feel like "edutainment," but the film rarely feels preachy. Donna's struggle is handled tastefully, and the the film always veers away from political propagandizing.
Gillian Robespierre, in her first time writing and directing a feature-length film, offers a master class in tonal balance. Obvious Child is at points uproariously funny and will certainly be remembered as one of the best comedies of the year. Yet, it also handles its incredibly serious subject matter with brazen candor. The film nevertheless feels cohesive due largely to Robespierre's spotless dialogue and sensitive character development.
In particular, Donna comes across as perhaps the best-written female character I've ever seen onscreen. She is confident in her femininity while retaining her own agency and opinions. She is brave and smart, but also thoughtful and contemplative. She doesn't need to kick anyone's ass to prove that she's her own person. She is, in other words, a real, living woman. That shouldn't be worth noting in 2014, but such is the state of gender portrayal in movies. A new standard has been set; I hope Hollywood is paying attention.
Likewise, Max is a similarly well-conceived character. He acts and responds realistically to Donna's predicament and his emotional struggle is transparent and endearing. Lacy, who was an an easy highlight of the final seasons of The Office (US), transforms his charming charisma into great chemistry with Jenny Slate. Although he is rarely in the spotlight—this is Donna's story through and through—Lacy's performance ties up the back-end of the film nicely.
I once saw Lewis Black perform at the Calvin Theatre. Amidst his usual ranting, I remember one moment where he took a break from his set to address the audience. He used that time to talk about how amidst all the blue comedy that exists in the world, the one topic that no comedian ever jokes about is abortion. For some reason, he said, that's the line no one will cross.
It hasn't been much of a topic in movies, either. Perhaps the idea of such a bleak story seems like box office suicide. But Robespieere makes it work as she taps innate broad appeal of romantic comedy. This is a brilliant choice because it means she can bring the issue of abortion to a wider audience.
I've always been a firmly pro-choice guy, but about halfway through this movie I realize I've never given the subject a lot of thought. And judging by the gasps and murmuring I heard in the audience as Donna scheduled her abortion appointment and learned how much her procedure would cost, I'm willing to bet most people don't know, don't talk about, and don't think about abortion—no matter where they stand on the issue.
This film opens up that dialogue in a way that hasn't been done before. It puts a human face on something that has become obfuscated by political mudslinging and ideological rhetoric, and that is significant. Obvious Child is already an excellent comedy, but I think it's an essential one, too.

The City of Johnston is excited to announce and invite the public to attend the Grand Opening for the new one-of-a-kind playground at Terra Park, located at 6300 Pioneer Parkway on Monday, May 7 at 5:00 p.m.
"Terra Park is a gem within our community where families can enjoy nature as well as other amenities," said Mayor Paula Dierenfeld. "Having this playground as an added feature will allow kids and families to connect with natural areas surrounding the playground, while enjoying the peacefulness of Terra. Being able to watch the prairie grow up around the playground and the kids running through the play sites is something I can't wait to see with this new park addition."
The playground includes equipment for both young and older children, with swings, and stations that encourages active movement. Each of the five pods have both play and education involved, but require movement to get to each of the areas.
"I am really excited about the opening of this new and unique playground because it is the final phase in making Terra Park complete," said John Schmitz Parks & Recreation Director. "Terra Park is a project I have seen come to life over the last five years. The opportunity this park and playground structure add to the community, is endless. It is a place for kids and families to play, and an area where people of all ages can enjoy nature and the beautiful trails surrounding the 200-acre park."
The playground was made possible by the Iowa Economic Development Authority Community Action Tourism Grant and Polk County Community Grant. The playground was constructed by Joiner Construction Company.
Terra Park is located at 6300 Pioneer Parkway in Johnston. For more information on Terra Park as well as other parks in the City of Johnston, please visit cityofjohnston.com/parks.

Opinion for the Court, District of Columbia v. Murphy, 314 U.S. 441 (Dec. 15, 1941)
Justice Jackson wrote the opinion for the court in this case which questioned what amounted to 'residing' in the District of Columbia for tax purposes. The court reversed the board of tax appeals' finding of non taxability, but remanded the case remanded for further proceedings so that the tax board could decide. Without a fixed and definite intent to return to their former domiciles the people in this case were found to still be residents of the District of Columbia.

Though your heart is full of blood, it also needs a blood supply itself. The blood your heart requires for beating is supplied by vessels called coronary arteries.
When your coronary arteries become narrowed or blocked by fatty deposits called plaque, your heart no longer gets all the blood it needs. Angioplasty and stenting can be used to reopen your coronary arteries, restoring the blood supply to your heart.
Angioplasty and stenting may be performed after your cardiologist determines that your coronary arteries are becoming blocked. These procedures may also be performed on emergency basis if you are having a heart attack.
You are given medication through an IV to help you relax. Your blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen level are monitored throughout the procedure.
After you are given a medication to numb the area, a small incision is made in either your thigh, wrist or arm. A thin tube called a sheath is inserted. Then a longer and thinner tube called a catheter is slid into the sheath.
With the help of x-ray images to guide the procedure, the catheter is moved through your blood vessels to the site of the blockage. A balloon at the end of the catheter is then inflated, squeezing the fatty deposits against the walls of the blood vessel and widening the artery. Once the balloon is deflated, blood flow to your heart is restored.
In most cases, balloon angioplasty is combined with the placement of a stent. A stent is a tiny, wire-mesh tube that is used to hold a blood vessel open. It helps to prevent restenosis, or re-narrowing of your blood vessel.
A stent starts out in collapsed form. It is put around the deflated balloon at the end of a catheter, then inserted into a blood vessel and guided toward the blocked artery.
When the balloon is inflated, it opens up the stent as it pushes plaque out of the way and widens your artery. When the balloon is deflated, the stent stays in place to keep your artery open.
Angioplasty and stenting are also used to open blood vessels in other parts of the body, including the arteries in the neck, legs and kidneys.
Caremax Hospital is the most advanced lab of its kind in the region. We perform many procedures that are not available at other hospitals. We were also the first in the region to perform procedures such as angioplasty and placing coronary stents.
Our doctors are all fellowship trained, the highest level of training available. Many of our surgeons perform a high volume of procedures. A high volume is considered one of the best predictors of an excellent outcome.

There are forgeries hanging in an art museum in Springfield, Massachusetts. But before anyone calls the cops, you should know the paintings are part of an unusual exhibit highlighting the multimillion dollar industry of fake art.
Elmyr de Hory's forged Matisse, " Odalisque" is one of the paintings on display in the exhibit on deception in the art world.
As long as art has existed there has been art forgery. As long as there is a big money art market there will be attempts to fool dealers and collectors. Modern science is making it harder to pull the wool over the eyes of museum directors and art historians.
Those are some of the takeaways from the show Intent to Deceive: Fakes and Forgeries in the Art World, which had its international debut recently at Springfield's D'Amour Museum of Fine Arts.
The subject of art forgeries has been used in novels, movies – including Best Picture Oscar Nominee American Hustle -- and TV shows, but until now it was not something museums talked publicly about, according to Heather Haskell, Director of Art Museums at the Springfield Museums.
"Museums just haven't explored that, and we are really excited about offering this to our audience. It is a great opportunity for connoisseurs to look at real work next to a copy and see if you can tell the differences."
More than 60 paintings are on display, including genuine works by Picasso, Matisse and other masters displayed next to copies. The paintings and drawings of five forgers, two of whom are still alive, are featured along with personal effects, photographs and videos, samples of the materials they used and explanations of the techniques employed to produce convincing fakes.
The exhibit also explains how experts use forensic science to finger the fakes.
Some of the forgeries in the show were once displayed in museums as originals.
Not all forgeries are copies of famous works. One of the featured forgers in the Springfield exhibit, John Myatt, copied the styles of Matisse, Monet, van Gogh, and others to produce more than 200 paintings. The British artist, after serving a prison term, now runs a business that assists museums and galleries in identifying fakes.
One of the five forgers did not do it for the money. Mark Landis dressed as a Jesuit priest and would show up at museums around the country to donate his fake art. He did it because he liked the attention.
Haskell said the show also encourages people to look at art with a more discerning eye.
"We've been having a lot of fun with this exhibition. It opens us to a lot of discussion on a number of different levels about what is art, what is the importance of the vision of the artist."
The show was organized by independent curator Colette Loll of the Washington D.C.-based International Arts and Artists organization. It will be on display in Springfield through April 24th 2014.
The Springfield Museums will soon put on public display a rare anthropological treasure that had been misidentified and kept in storage for more than a century. Officials at the science museum in Springfield, Massachusetts announced the discovery today.
Officials at the Springfield Museums say they have authenticated an artifact in the permanent collection as a mid- 19th Century Tlingit helmet that likely belonged to a warrior for a tribe of the indigenous peoples in southeast Alaska. There are fewer than 100 Tlingit war helmets known to be in existence.
Another public works project is planned in an historic part of downtown Springfield. It is an area of the city that has already seen close to $200 million in government investment over the last decade. WAMC"s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill reports.
A new Massachusetts cultural district has been launched in Springfield. Advocates for the district believe it will help boost tourism, promote more art and music programs, and preserve historic buildings.
The "Springfield Central Cultural District" is an area of the city's downtown that is home to museums, live performance venues, art galleries and historic buildings. It is the 19th cultural district recognized by the state – a designation not easy to come by, according to Anita Walker, executive director of the state cultural council.

Ready to increase production by 10 to 20% without any additional capital investment?
If you're in the business of producing asphalt, sand, stone, or gravel, you're running an enterprise subject to daily volatility in supply and demand. With very little foresight into the upcoming material needs of your construction company customers, you're constantly juggling production amounts, stockpiling excess material, and working to avoid dump truck traffic jams at your facilities.
TRUX provides the answer by delivering the industry's first and only comprehensive dump truck logistics solution. This free, web-based platform is simple to use, requires no hardware, and works in harmony with your other business solutions.
TRUX gives you the power to get closer to your customers and synchronize your activities. You gain the ability to better estimate production needs, balance inventory and workloads among your facilities, optimize dump truck pickup schedules, and more.
There's never been a better way to get closer to your customers – or your growth objectives.
If you're lucky, you get more than 48 hours notice of an upcoming materials order. But more often than not, it's much less. Get more than a couple of big, back-to- back orders and you're hard-pressed to meet demand.
That lack of visibility into demand also affects truck traffic at your facilities. When multiple dump trucks show up around the same time without notice, it can create bottlenecks that slow order fulfillment and cause frustrating project delays.
TRUX reduces random, chaotic pickups by enabling you to combine materials purchasing with transportation. You can orchestrate pickups – even route trucks to different facilities – to reduce truck downtime and make your operations more efficient and productive.
You'll like the impact on your customer relationships. You'll be able to work more closely together, coordinating activities like the productive, mutually-beneficial team you were meant to be.
How would you like to increase production by 10 to 20% without any additional capital investment? You can with TRUX.
The problem is that today, you're in a totally reactive business. You lack the visibility into demand that would enable you to balance supply and workload among your facilities.
TRUX gives you that visibility so you can manage capacity and demand better. By directing dump trucks to different facilities for pickup, you can increase the amount of material you sell – and make each facility more efficient.
Your business runs on information. The problem is that much of the data needed to run your business is still on paper. That's paper you have to collect, track, and file manually. More importantly, the data captured on that paper is inaccessible for review, reporting, and analysis. As a result, you can't get a complete picture of your business, its challenges, and opportunities. Worse yet, you lack the information needed to make important decisions about your operations, growth, and profitability.
TRUX gives you that vital business data – in real time – so you can stay on top of your daily operations better and make better-informed decisions.
With all the problems caused by the inefficiencies of the dump truck operations – inefficiencies beyond your control – it's difficult for you to drive new business growth. Should you open a new facility? Where should facilities be optimally sited? How much new business can you attract if you expand geographically and enlarge current facilities?
When you start using TRUX, you can begin to answer those and other critical questions. TRUX captures all the relevant data about dump truck traffic and orders at your facilities. You can run analyses and generate reports to identify emerging trends and potential opportunities.
TRUX gives you the means – and the confidence – to make it happen.

FATCA Reporting Risk when You transfer Foreign Money into the U.S.
Home FATCA FATCA Reporting Risk when You transfer Foreign Money into the U.S.
5 What if You Never Report the Money?
FATCA Risk – Did you recently transfer Money to the U.S.?
Under FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act), U.S. persons who maintain foreign accounts, foreign investments and certain specified foreign assets are required to report this information to the United States.
Many individuals get caught out-of-compliance by the IRS — often times it is because they were unaware of any requirement to file, or be in compliance.
It is not as if the United States gives anyone a "heads up" and identifies each U.S. person that was abroad or in the United States with foreign assets and provide them information regarding proper foreign and offshore reporting requirements; rather, if you are not in compliance — the IRS will simply penalize you.
One way we are finding that our clients are getting into FATCA trouble is by transferring money from a foreign country into the United States.
David resides in Tokyo, Japan. He is a US green card holder but citizen of Japan. He has children who are attending college in the United States, and decided that instead of having them rent apartments, he would transfer money to them so that they can purchase a small home to live in.
David authorizes his Japanese bank the transfer $500,000 to a bank account in the United States. The problem is the Japanese bank is aware that David is a green card holder. Why? Because when David was residing in the United States more than 15 years ago, he provided the bank with a US address to receive mail.
Therefore, when it comes time for FATCA reporting, the bank transfers David's information to the United States government in accordance with the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Japan in the United States.
In order to avoid these potential fines and penalties, David could have entered the IRS Offshore Voluntary Disclosure and possibly avoided all penalties, as well as receive Foreign Tax Credit for all taxes he already paid in Japan.

Quortus and cellXica demonstrate novel co-channel GSM / LTE basestation and core network at MWC '16
by Andy Gothard | Feb 18, 2016 | Uncategorised
At next week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, cellXica (booth 7K07) will be demonstrating a novel co-channel GSM and LTE base station and core network enabled by Quortus' EdgeCentrix (ECX) technology. cellXica's GiLTE (GSM-in-LTE) technology and Quortus ECX Core interoperate to provide a combined GSM and LTE cellular network. GiLTE allows a single base station to provide both GSM and LTE service concurrently, with both fully confined within the bandwidth of the LTE signal. This provides a cost effective and bandwidth efficient solution for use in bandwidth-restricted deployments such as the UK 1800MHz guard band. Because ECX Core can be configured to provide both GSM and LTE core network functions, the system is easy to deploy either as a standalone network or integrated with existing macro network infrastructure. In addition, ECX Core's compact, efficient design means that it can run on the cellXica GiLTE base station hardware, creating a highly integrated solution in a single box. The GiLTE base station is the latest addition to cellXica's EXSITE range of small cells, which are based on common SDR (software defined radio) hardware. In addition to the GiLTE product, the range includes more conventional single-technology LTE, UMTS and GSM small cells, which will also be on show at MWC. Quortus ECX Core is a fully-featured, scalable virtualized core that supports emerging mobile edge computing architectures, and includes advanced features such as integrated VoLTE / SIP voice, S1/X2 handover, dedicated bearers, CS fallback (CSFB), SMS, inter-RAT and SRVCC. It is designed to run on a broad range of hardware from cloud servers to highly integrated "base station on a chip" solutions. Visit cellXica on stand 7K07...
AfricaCom 2015: Quortus and Argela Present Public Safety Cellular Solution
by Andy Gothard | Nov 18, 2015 | Uncategorised
Africa is often seen as "the next big region" for mobile communications growth. But the fact is that growth there is already in full swing. According to Ericsson's June 2015 Mobility Report, there were 108 million new mobile subscriptions worldwide in the first quarter of 2015, of which around one fifth (21 million) were in Africa. And with penetration standing at "just" 78% – less than any other major region in the report, barring India – Ericsson expects that growth rate to continue: of the 3.5 billion new subscriptions it predicts between 2014 and 2020, 750 million will be in the MEA region. What is often not appreciated, however, is the absolute size of the African market. The same report reveals that Africa already has a total of 910 million mobile subscriptions – that compares to 535 million in Western Europe, and 730 million in Latin America. Against this backdrop, it should not be a surprise that this week's AfricaCom 2015 exhibition and conference in Cape Town is expected to attract more than 10,000 visitors and 375 participating companies. While we can't be there in person, Quortus' ECX Core / ECX Tactical virtualized core network product will be playing a key role at the Argela booth (A7), as part of the company's AMoN (Autonomous Mobile Network) solution for public safety, government and military needs. AMoN is a 4G LTE / 3G small cell system that provides simultaneous voice, data and ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) communications: able to function standalone (without a connection to an external core network), AMoN is an ideal solution for users working in disaster areas, remote regions and tactical fields.

Q: How to allow only NTP using iptables? I'm looking for a way to restrict internet traffic to one of the device on my network so that it can only access NTP an nothing else.
Now the easy solution would be to just allow destination port 123 for that device, but I have a problem with that.
If I do that, isn't it possible that the device connects to a (non-NTP) server on port 123 and leaks private information?
Some more background:
I have an IoT device which I can connect to from within my local network, but it also has the feature to send data to its cloud. With no clear way to turn that off, I'd like to make sure that the data doesn't leave my local network.
At first I simply blocked internet traffic for its ip in my router (Asuswrt firmware), but in case of a restart (e.g. power outage) its time resets to an old date. Then it tries to access an NTP server to get the correct time.
I checked the ips it tries to connect to and whitelisted one using iptables on the router. The time updated successfully, but on the next restart the ips have changed. I suspect this is because the NTP server on the router is set to pool.ntp.org so the actual server list changes over time.
So I'd like to make sure that the device can only communicate with a valid, known time server, without leaving the possibility for it to connect to some random host on port 123 and send non-time related data.
Is there a way to achieve that? Maybe the packets can be inspected to ensure it only contains data related to NTP?
Alternatively I'm also open to set up a local NTP server if that solves the problem, but that would be the scope of a separate question.

A: You could try using the iptables string match module to match the packet contents so that it matches typical NTP protocol contents, and allow only those packets that match this criteria in your rules.
However, this is not 100% waterproof, you need to carefully assign the matching strings. Also, a malicious intruder could detect this and add the string to his own payload. That would be extremely unlikely.
Another option is to use an Intrusion Prevention System like Suricata, which does actual protocol analysis. However, I'm not sure if Suricata has direct capability to analyse NTP traffic.

A: So goal is allow NTP, and not allow exfiltration.
My solution would be to redirect all UDP 123 traffic to a known NTP server, maybe even internal. That way any NTP requests would only have NTP data or failures.
If exfiltration is the main concern, remember that DNS queries also is a possible risk.

A: NTP has been previously been used to find port scan targets in the too big to brute force IPv6 address space. Happens every day on the internet, but may be something you are not comfortable with.
Find out how the device locates an NTP server, watch its DNS and NTP traffic. Ideally it can be configured, possibly via DHCPv6 option 56 NTP server. Unfortunately, it may not be configurable.
Any default NTP Pool config must use a vendor zone so use can be managed. If not, or worse if it uses a specific volunteer service without asking, please complain to the vendor.
Firewall outgoing traffic for this security zone as desired. Allow outgoing destination port 123/udp and incoming replies, deny everything else. I am not aware of widespread exfiltration or other bad data via the NTP port. Packet volumes should be low, one packet per few minutes per device, if you wished to capture and analyze or rate limit.
NTP does better with a diversity of sources. IP addresses and host names will change, rotating often when using the pool. Consider not filtering on NTP server destination address.
Yes, you can run your own NTP service. More useful if every device on the network can be configured to use it.

Q: Safari plays audio only once when using  I'm trying to have a short sound that I can play over multiple times by simply the play button on AMP. On Safari (desktop and mobile) the sound will only play once.
The sound is supposed to be triggered when the user clicks a button.
I've followed the amp documentation for the amp-audio and the audio events
<amp-audio preload="none" id="audio" controlslist="nodownload" hidden>

Your browser doesn't support HTML5 audio

    <source type="audio/mpeg" src="/media/shortSound.mp3">
    <source type="audio/ogg" src="/media/shortSound.ogg">
</amp-audio>

The "native" audio button is hidden and is triggered by clicking the following button (with the on:tap event)

I have also tried using absolute URLs in vain and using the pause function before play but to no avail.
Note: Unfortunately there is no .load event to circumvent the problem like with HTML5 on Safari (which is how I got to play it on Safari on the non-amp version)
Actual result: The sounds play once (the first time I click it). The rest of the time nothing happens, no message in the console either. What am I doing wrong?

A: I have found the issue was with the mp3 encoding of my files. It uses VBR instead of CBR, the problem doesn't happen when using CBR encoded mp3 files. To check your encoding I recommend using https://checkmate.gissen.nl/download.php
EDIT: IT was actually because Safari uses HTTPRange to get its resources instead of a classic get method.

A: Hopefully the loop attribute on <amp-audio> can help here: https://amp.dev/documentation/components/amp-audio/?format=websites


If you've been around our church for any length of time, we hope that you see us endeavoring to live out the loving heart of God in our world. Calvary La Habra didn't happen overnight. We started as a Bible Study on the floor of a surf shop in La Mirada, California.
The Lord started the work by grabbing a surfer's heart and directing him to minister to the hurting youth that surrounded him. After a while, that Bible Study needed more space. Soon, it had grown into a church that reached out, not only to La Habra and the surrounding areas, but to the world. Watch the story unfold in our 25 Years of Ministry celebration video above.
Through the years, we've seen God bless this work in unbelievable ways. We've had the honor of witnessing the Lord change lives, marriages, families, and communities through the justification of Jesus Christ, and the ongoing sanctification process through the power of the Holy Spirit. It's always such a blessing to encounter God in fresh ways, and we think that others should too.
order to encourage one another (Hebrews10:24-25), to build our faith (Romans 10:17), to exercise the spiritual gifts He has given to us (1 Corinthians 12:7), to direct others around the world to the Savior (Matthew 28:19-20), and to seek His kingdom here on earth (Matthew 6:33). To learn more about the role of the church in the world and our society, click here.
Last year, through the grace of God and the hearts of servants at Calvary La Habra, we were able to pour out God's love throughout the year. Beginning with the Men's Steak & Study, the International Missions Dinner, and Women's Study, the year quickly progressed to our Easter Week. Throughout the year, the Lord has blessed us and the community of La Habra through various children's events (such as VBS), declarations of faith through baptisms, Missions trips, outreaches and movies at the park, a City Appreciation Dinner, disaster relief teams, a Youth Workers Conference, Women's Tea and the Gathering, Men's Huddle, and much more. Towards the end of the year, we celebrated Harvest, hosted a Veteran's Day Concert and Dinner, a Thanksgiving Outreach, a Servants Appreciation Dinner, and an incredible time pausing to reflect on the wonder of Christmas through several special services.
Each year is packed full of opportunities to get involved, invite friends and family, and experience the body of Christ in a fresh and marvelous way. We would encourage you to step out in faith and see what God can do with a willing heart and surrendered life. Our desire is to introduce you to Jesus, disciple you, and equip you to reach others in the position God has uniquely placed you in. Please join us as we work together advancing His kingdom!

Quebec to tighten language law, force retailers to add French descriptions to names
The Quebec government says it intends to strengthen the province's language laws to oblige major retailers to include French wording in their commercial English signage.
Premier Philippe Couillard says new measures will be announced in near future
The Canadian Press · Posted: Jun 12, 2015 4:35 PM ET | Last Updated: June 12, 2015
Premier Philippe Couillard says measures to strengthen the province's signage laws related to companies such as Costco and Best Buy will be announced in the near future. (Ryan Remiorz/The Canadian Press)
Premier Philippe Couillard left little doubt about the government's intentions on Friday during a final news conference before the summer break at the legislature.
Quebec courts examine the use of English on signs and websites
Big retailers face new language rules in Quebec
"We don't want to erase trademarks — it's not that Canadian Tire will become Pneu Canadien, let's be clear on that, but it's a question of politeness," Couillard said.
I would have hoped that all companies would have done so voluntarily, there are only a few who don't and we're nearing the end of our analysis, - Philippe Couillard
A published report on Friday said the changes could come as early as next week, but Couillard would only commit to announcing measures in the near future.
In April, Quebec's Court of Appeal ruled the province's language watchdog cannot force companies such as Best Buy, Old Navy and Costco to add a French component to their name.
As soon as that ruling was issued, Couillard had said he wouldn't exclude taking a legislative route to force major retailers to comply. The Opposition Parti Quebecois had urged the premier to do that to close certain loopholes.
"I would have hoped that all companies would have done so voluntarily, there are only a few who don't and we're nearing the end of our analysis," Couillard said.
Couillard suggested that a short descriptive word in French was necessary given the Francophone majority in Quebec.
He gave the example of Second Cup, the coffee retailer that is known as "Les cafés Second Cup" in Quebec.
"Everyone knows that they sell coffee, but it's like this company said, 'I know where I am, I know what environment I am and recognize the existence of the French in Quebec,'" Couillard said.
Judge sided with companies
In April 2014, a Quebec Superior Court judge sided with the companies, which included Wal-Mart, Costco, Best Buy, Gap, Old Navy and Guess.
Several multinationals took the province to court after they were told by the language watchdog to change their names or risk running afoul of the rules governing the language of business in the province.
The Office québécois de la langue française wanted the firms to change their signs to either give themselves a generic French name or add a slogan or explanation that reflected what they sold.
But Superior Court Justice Michel Yergeau ruled in favour of the major retailers, noting that while trademarks fall under federal jurisdiction, it's up to the Quebec legislature to "take the lead" if it considers the French language is suffering because of English trademarks.
Earlier Friday, Quebec Culture Minister Hélène David wouldn't comment on a report in Le Devoir newspaper on Friday the government would introduce changes as early as next week.
"We are looking at all the options, and when we're ready, we'll be able to announce a decision," David said.
The government has until June 26 to decide whether they'll appeal the case to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Quebec doesn't rule out tighter language law to force retailers to use French

Black Label Comics is the personal imprint and anthology comic of writer Ian Struckhoff. Help us print Issue #1 and get to New York Comic Con 2010!
42 backers pledged $1,000 to help bring this project to life.
Black Label Comics is going to New York Comic Con 2010 this October, but we could use your help. We'd like to bring as many copies of the first issues of Black Label Comics and The Deathlings: Anne's Story as we can, and come back with our shirts. Our Kickstarter is also the only place to pre-order both comics.
Read and support the comics that The Weekly Crisis calls "very enjoyable" with "a great future ahead" and "something for everyone" and that MOMBCast say are "Stupidly Gorgeous" with "good character voice" and a "brilliant cover".
We have set our minimum goal at an achievable level of $500 which will cover a small portion of the expense of going to New York. We are still pushing, as it would take about $2500 to recoup the full cost of the convention and printing.
For lots of sample art, including pages, covers, and pin-ups, visit our updates. Anyone can see most of these, and our backers (even at $1 level) will get lots of additional preview pages and early looks at the coolest pin-ups! We update almost every week day.
Visit our Updates page for more artwork, including covers, pages, and pin-ups!
Directionless after high school. No idea what to wear when she's asked to a date at a bonfire. Then the guy who asked her isn't even there. Things can get worse-- the next morning, Anne is dead and her life gets really interesting.
Anne's Story begins the day she dies. Tracking down her own killer alone-- because dead girls can't go home-- she discovers that powers over life and death can't solve her real-life problems, before having to decide between entering an eternal war against the undead or somehow keeping her friends and family.
Issue #1 takes place on the last day of Anne's life, and the first day of a new life.

Subaru is a renowned Japanese automobile manufacturing brand and now being the 26th biggest automobile manufacturer in the world in terms of production. Fuji Heavy Industries is the parent company of Subaru, which is well known for its boxer engine in most of its vehicles in the above 1500 cc category and its four-wheel drive layout since 1972. However the lone exception is the RWD BRZ, which got introduced in the year 2012.
Over long years, Subaru has really earned a loyal recognition for making vehicles, which are capable of offering steadfast performance in the real practical sense and all-weather smooth mobility. One notable factor however is that every once in a while, Subaru tends to try out its luck on the wilder side too. The latest one in its line is Subaru BRZ, which is a small sports coupe, which bucks a lot of Subaru traditions.
For those who are looking for a start-up sport model, the sleek BRZ is available with a rear-wheel drive, a deviation from the company's price of releasing of all-wheel drive models as a default standard. The engine is not turbo-charged, even though the company typically applies this technology to the high-performance models. However, Subaru BRZ has got a lot of things to offer as a performing model. It features exceptional handling comfort, sleek design, and compelling value. It can be said that for the first time in the last couple of decades, the consumers looking for a performing budget sport couple getting the right choice.
The all-new Subaru BRZ is a model released in 2013. Mechanically, it has more resemblance to the Scion FR-S as both these models are co-developed by Toyota and Subaru. They share almost the same layout design, basic engineering and the Powertrain, but still have got different in many of the styling details as well as performance features.
Both the models of Subaru BRZ are powered with a 2.0-liter horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine, which offers an output of 200 HP and 151 pound-feet torque. The power is directed to the rear wheels with the use of a 6-speed manual transmission. There is also another variant with a 6-speed automatic. The acceleration of the car is fairly adequate, but the fact is that many other performance cars in this range and quicker than BRZ. However, the fuel economy of BRZ is really appreciable that even the automatic transmission model is capable of offering a decent 28 mpg on highway.
The standard accessories of the base-level BRZ include 17-inch alloy wheels, xenon automatic headlights, LED daytime lights, air-conditioning, keyless entry, fabric upholstery, folding rear seatbacks, manual cruise control, touchscreen navigation, Bluetooth, as well as an eight-speaker music system. The premium trim level also offers extra foglights, heated mirrors, rear spoiler, keyless ignition/entry, automated dual-zone climate control, full leather upholstery, and heated front seats.
BRZ features a very simple and warmly styled cabin, which offers a blending of Subaru and Toyota switch gear and accessories. The front seats are very ergonomically designed and supportive. The backseats are really suitable for children as well as to carry goods.

Die Magdeburger Börde ist eine für ihre ertragreichen Schwarzerden bekannte Bördelandschaft unmittelbar westlich Magdeburgs in Sachsen-Anhalt und ist Teil der Planungsregion Elbe-Börde-Heide.

Abgrenzung
Nach Norden, Osten und Süden ist die Magdeburger Börde vergleichsweise scharf durch Flussniederungen begrenzt. Im Norden ist es die der Ohre am Südrand der Colbitz-Letzlinger Heide, im Osten das Tal der Elbe bei Magdeburg im Biosphärenreservat Mittlere Elbe nebst Mündungslauf der Saale und im Süden die Niederung der Bode.

Im Westen galt immer als unstrittig, dass das Hohe Holz bereits die westliche Nachbarlandschaft, das später so genannte Ostbraunschweigische Hügelland, einleitet, in dem sich Bördelandschaften mit bewaldeten Höhenzügen, davon der gewaltigste sicher der  hohe Elm, ablösen. Auch galten Oschersleben (Bode) im Westen und Haldensleben im Nordwesten als grobe Randpunkte.

Der erste Versuch, eine verbindliche Westgrenze nördlich des hohen Holzes zu legen, fand im Rahmen der Arbeiten zum Handbuch der naturräumlichen Gliederung Deutschlands während der ersten Kartierung 1:1.000.000 im Jahr 1954 statt. Er verlängerte die Westgrenze der Magdeburger Börde, vom Hohen Holz beginnend, nach Nordwesten bis zum Beginn des Lappwaldes, wodurch die Obere Aller bis etwa Alleringersleben noch Teil der Landschaft war. Die neuere Kartierung des Handbuchs von 1960 modifizierte diese Grenze insofern, als sie das Allertal bereits zum Ostbraunschweigischen Hügelland ausgrenzte. Als Fläche wurde in der 6. Lieferung des Handbuchs (1959) 931 km² angegeben.

Eine feinere Gliederung erfolgte auf dem Einzelblatt 1:200.000 87 Braunschweig, das nach Osten so gerade in die Börde reichte, durch Theodor Müller im Jahr 1962. Müller folgte dem Text Oskar Augusts des Handbuchs von 1959 zu einer alternativen Grenzziehung nach geomorphologischen Aspekten – also nicht der ein Jahr jüngeren Kartierung – und legte die Westgrenze nördlich des Hohen Holzes an eine Stauendmoräne, die von ihm so genannte Druxberger Hügelkette, die unmittelbar von südöstlich des Hohen Holzes der Elbe-Weser-Wasserscheide nach Nordnordosten folgt. Sie beginnt am unbewaldeten Kniel () nordwestlich Schermckes, flankiert Seehausen westlich, passiert das namensgebende Druxberge und erreicht am Wartberg () ihr Ende. Vom Osthang dieser Endmoräne aus geht die Grenze nordnordöstlich weiter nach Nordgermersleben und bleibt ab dort stets östlich einer Nebentalung, schließlich der eigentlichen Talung der Beber bis zu ihrer Mündung in die Ohre.

Das Bundesamt für Naturschutz (BfN) hat, sich im Westen an Blatt 87 Braunschweig orientierend, eine Fläche von 949 km² ermittelt, die jedoch den kleinen Teil, der in den Verdichtungsraum Magdeburg fällt, ausspart. Auch Ministerium für Raumordnung, Landwirtschaft und Umwelt und Landesamt für Umweltschutz Sachsen-Anhalt, die im Jahr 2001 eine Gliederung des Bundeslandes in sogenannte "Landschaften" publiziert haben, grenzen die Magdeburger Börde sehr ähnlich wie Müller ab. Wie auch Müller – und darin etwas abweichend vom BfN – sieht diese Gliederung das Bodeufer unmittelbar nördlich der Mündung des Großen Grabens bei Oschersleben als westlichsten Punkt der Börde.

Naturräumliche Einordnung
Die Magdeburger Börde ist Teil der Lössbörden, einer naturräumlichen Großregion 2. Ordnung, die sich nördlich der Mittelgebirgsschwelle vom Lübbecker Lößland nördlich des östlichen Wiehengebirges auf deutschem Boden bis zur Oberlausitz zieht und, neben der Magdeburger Börde, so bekannte Landschaften wie die Hildesheimer Börde weiter westlich und das Erzgebirgische Becken weiter südöstlich enthält. Sie gehört zur Haupteinheitengruppe Mitteldeutsches Schwarzerdegebiet (50) und bildet die Haupteinheit Nr. 504.

Nach Westen bis Süden geht sie in weitere Bördelandschaften über, nämlich nach Westen in das Ostbraunschweigische Hügelland (512, zu 51 Nördliches Harzvorland; in der sachsen-anhaltischen Gliederung: Börde-Hügelland) mit dem Elm, das nach Süden durch das Große Bruch (511) am Großen Graben von der Harzrandmulde (510) mit dem Huyberg getrennt wird. Südlich der Magdeburger Börde schließt sich, im Südwesten durch die das Große Bruch nach Osten verlängernde Bodeniederung (503) getrennt, das Nordöstliche Harzvorland (502) mit dem Hakel an.

Östlich grenzt das Elbe-Elster-Tiefland (881, zu 88 Elbe-Mulde-Tiefland) an, hinter dem der Fläming (Gruppe 85) aufragt, nordöstlich die Letzlinger Heide (863, zu 86 Wendland und Altmark) und nordwestlich das Ostbraunschweigische Flachland (6241, zu 62 Weser-Aller-Flachland).

Allgemeines
Die Magdeburger Börde gliedert sich in die Hohe Börde im Westen und die kleinere Niedere Börde im Osten, die sich nur wenig über das Tal der Elbe erhebt. Zwischen beiden liegt, insbesondere im Norden, eine deutliche Geländestufe, die in Nähe der 100-m-Höhenlinie liegt und etwa der Linie von Groß Ammensleben im Norden nach Altenweddingen im Süden folgt, die beide noch der Niederen Börde zuzurechnen sind. Die waldarme Landschaft ist an der Hohen Börde flach-gewellt und besteht in beiden Teilen größtenteils aus unverfestigtem Moränenmaterial der Saaleeiszeit. Vereinzelt tritt auch älteres Festgestein zu Tage. Bei Wellen, bei Groß Ottersleben, bei Sohlen und westlich Calbes sind der Geschiebemergelhochfläche vier nach Nordosten offene Endmoränenbögen aufgesetzt, die dem Rehberger Stadium der Saaleeiszeit zugerechnet werden und das Relief lokal erheblich beleben.

Großflächig überlagert eine aufgewehte Lössdecke die älteren Fest- und Lockergesteine. Sie besitzt fruchtbare Böden (teilweise Schwarzerde), auf denen vor allem Zuckerrüben- und Weizenanbau betrieben wird. 1934 erhielt der Boden in der damaligen Gemeinde Eickendorf (heute Bördeland) die Bodenwertzahl 100, war somit der fruchtbarste Boden Deutschlands und galt bis zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges 1945 als Vergleichsbasis für Deutschlands Böden. Die Zuckerrübe trägt nach wie vor zum Wohlstand der Börde bei.

Die Magdeburger Börde liegt im Regenschatten des Harzes und ist daher eine der trockensten Gegenden Deutschlands, allerdings nicht die wärmste oder sonnenreichste. Höchste Erhebung der Magdeburger Börde ist mit 145,7 m der Große Wartberg bei Niederndodeleben.

In der Magdeburger Börde wird oft noch Bördeplatt gesprochen.

Von 1976 bis zum Jahresfahrplan 1991/92 verkehrte das Städteexpress-Zugpaar 141/146 Börde. Am 19. November 2015 wurde eine Intercity-2-Garnitur der Deutschen Bahn auf den Namen Magdeburger Börde getauft.

Service is important. It has been something that has always been an integral part of my life, and now that I have kids, it is important for me to teach them about service and why we should give it as often as we possibly can. Did you know that Family Volunteer Day is coming up on November 18? It is a global day of service created to encourage families to volunteer together in support of their neighborhoods and communities — not only on the day of the event but also throughout the holiday season and every day during the year. The holiday season is such a perfect time for us to give whatever we can, whenever we can. Our time, talents, clothes, food, and anything else we can do.
It doesn't take much for your family to make a big difference in someone else's life. Be a good example to your kids and teach them why service is important. I have a very strong conviction about service and the effect it has had on not just the lives of those you serve, but your life and the lives of your family. Be sure to visit http://www.generationon.org/fvd and search the Family Volunteer Day page, families can volunteer through local service projects in their own neighborhoods or find more than 100 DIY projects. We found over 250 opportunities to serve close to us and my kids are thrilled to go through the list and put some of the opportunities on our calendar. This is something we are going to continue doing throughout the year.
What does your family do to serve others?
