Black man told he couldn't enter Portland bar because of his jewelry; real reason was racism, lawsuit says

By Aimee Green | The Oregonian/OregonLive
An African American man has filed a $500,000 lawsuit against one of the owners of a Pearl District bar, claiming he was prevented from stepping foot inside because he was wearing "too many" chain necklaces.
Ray Lamont Peterson, 34, claims that was just a pretext for keeping the bar predominantly white.
Peterson's lawsuit claims that Chris Lenahan, one of the owners of Splash Bar, would use a radio to tell security staff to start "arbitrarily enforcing a dress code against African Americans" when he thought the composition of customers was getting "too dark" at any given time. The suit claims that Lenahan referred to black patrons by using racist terms.
Peterson claims he was told he couldn't enter the club in August 2018.
Reached by phone Tuesday, Lenahan told The Oregonian/OregonLive that the allegations in the lawsuit are "ridiculous," that he has never referred to African Americans by a racist term described in the lawsuit and that he and his partners operate "the most diverse clubs" with "the most diverse clientele."
Peterson's lawsuit was filed Monday in Multnomah County Circuit Court -- two months after another African American man, Sam Thompson, reached an undisclosed settlement with Lenahan and his company Vegasstars. Thompson claimed that in May 2017 he was told he couldn't enter another bar that Lenahan is part owner of -- the Dirty Nightlife. Thompson claimed he was told he couldn't enter because he was wearing a red shirt and red shoes and had violated the dress code prohibiting excessively matching gang colors, even though another white customer wearing a nearly identical outfit was later let in.
Lenahan maintains a huge presence on Portland's nightclub scene. Lenahan is part owner of five Old Town and Pearl District bars: Splash Bar, Dirty Nightlife, Shake Bar, Paris Theatre and the LGBTQ-friendly Sanctuary, according to Peterson's attorneys. Lenahan also speaks nationally and has authored "The Little Black Bar Book: A Comprehensive Guide to Starting, Owning and Operating Your Own Bar or Nightclub."
According to Peterson's lawsuit, he had arrived at Splash Bar, also known as Splash Ultra Lounge, at Northwest Ninth Avenue and Couch Street for a friend's birthday party.
Peterson's attorneys later took a photo of him wearing the same outfit -- a black T-shirt, jeans and four thick metal necklaces with emblems.
According to the suit, security staff told him his necklaces were violating the dress code, but they would not show him the dress code when he asked to see it.
"(Peterson) then asked to talk to a manager who told (Peterson) they did not want 'that kind' of 'riff raff' in the club," the lawsuit states. "(Peterson) asked what that was supposed to mean and protested that others wearing necklaces had been allowed entry that night. The manager responded that he could come into the club if he took one or two of his chains off."
Peterson's lawsuit alleges that the club and security staff violated Oregon law prohibiting "unlawful discrimination" in a place of public accommodation.
Along with Lenahan and other defendants, Peterson also is suing the security company Top Flyte Entertainment and Security. A representative from the company declined comment Tuesday.
Portland attorneys Noah Horst and Timothy Volpert are representing Peterson.

In the 30 Books in 30 Days series leading up to the March 15 announcement of the 2017 National Book Critics Circle award winners, NBCC members review the thirty finalists. Today, NBCC board member Tom Beer offers an appreciation of fiction finalist Joan Silber's Improvement (Counterpoint).
Some writers wow us with verbal pyrotechnics and wildly outrageous scenarios. Others ply their trade more quietly — relying on subtle language and profound insight into human nature, making art of everyday lives. Joan Silber belongs to the latter category, and nowhere are her gifts on better display than in her seventh work of fiction, Improvement.
A novel that might also be classified as a tightly woven collection of linked stories, Improvement's eight chapters circulate out from Reyna, a tattooed single mom in New York. Reyna has a rambunctious four-year-old, Oliver; a free-spirited aunt Kiki, and a boyfriend, Boyd, spending three months on Rikers Island for selling four ounces of pot. When he gets out of jail, Boyd and some friends devise a plan to smuggle cigarettes from Virginia to New York and make some easy money. It's a harmless enough scheme, but one that will have serious ramifications for these characters and others.
Chance, accidents, random encounters: The mysterious workings of fate are one of Silber's great themes here — what else could bind this loose assemblage of characters together? So, too, is ambition, as the title, Improvement, suggests. Reyna, Kiki, Boyd, and the others seek to improve their circumstances, both romantic and monetary. Silber views their strivings with an empathetic tenderness.
That authorial stance is reflected in the prose of Improvement, which is colloquial and knowing and seemingly effortless. There is not a wasted word in all of the novel's 227 pages, which nevertheless contain multitudes. Comparisons have been made to Alice Munro, Grace Paley, Lucia Berlin, Ali Smith — and this is certainly the company in which Silber belongs. Improvement is the work of a great American literary voice.
Tom Beer is the books editor of Newsday and a past NBCC president.


Achieving the crucial 1.5°C target will require immediately halting new fossil fuel development now.
The chair of the Least Developed Countries group, Tosi Mpanu-Mpanu, called for "fair and ambitious action" Monday at the next round of international climate change negotiations which begin on Nov. 7 in Marrakech, Morocco.
Mpanu-Mpanu expressed his concern that even with a full implementation of the Paris Agreement, which comes officially into force on Nov. 4, current pledges by countries to cut greenhouse gas emissions puts the world on track for 3-3.5°C of warming above pre-industrial levels.
"Science tells us that beyond temperature increases of 1.5°C the future of our planet stands on increasingly thin ice. We cannot afford to treat this as an aspirational goal," he said.
According to Payal Parekh, program director at climate action group 350.org, achieving the crucial 1.5°C target will require immediately halting new fossil fuel development now. "Around the world, there is a powerful and growing fossil fuel resistance movement that is pushing our institutions and governments to divest and break free from fossil fuels to prioritize people and the planet," added Parekh.
The Initiative, according to Mpanu-Mpanu, will enable LDCs to leapfrog fossil fuel based energy and generate prosperity by bringing "modern, clean, resilient energy systems to millions of energy-starved people."
The LDC group is made up of 48 primarily African nations that are especially vulnerable to climate change but have done the least to cause the problem. They came together to demand that wealthier nations act in accordance with their responsibility for creating the climate problem and their capability for addressing it.
The talks in Morocco take place in the midst of massive protests over the recent killing of a fish seller in the coastal community of Al Hoceima which has been hard hit by severe government restrictions on small-scale fishermen in response to declining fish populations linked to climate change.

Q: client side web scrape | python | How to - web scrape at client side - using python and its framework/library!
I am stuck in some problem.
https://angel.co/companies . this is the URL
provide me with a solution!

A: Try scrapy. It's a really good framework for scraping. And there are lots of tutorials and community support available for that. Also, you can try selenium, if you need to render JS and scrape it.

Q: merge before build in jenkins fails but should not I have setup jenkins to build all feature branches in a project and before the build merge them to 'develop' since I'm more interested if the result of the merge builds rather than the feature branch itself.
This seem to work if the feature branch is based of develop HEAD but if the branch off point is before develop HEAD then jenkins says: ERROR: Branch not suitable for integration as it does not merge cleanly
And this would be alright if there was a conflict. But there is no conflict. I have tested the merge manually in the console and the merge is automatically done.
Also if comparing the feature branch and develop in atlassian stash it also shows a clean diff without any conflicts.
I'm lost. Why can't jenkins merge it?

A: I found it myself. It was because git on the jenkins server wasn't configured with author name/email.
After configuring this (under additional behaviours) solved the problem.

A: I also found that this error occurred if Jenkins/git was configured to do a shallow clone. If you are shallow cloning you'll need to disable it:

*

*uncheck "Shallow clone" in "Additional Behaviors -> Advanced clone behaviors" in the job config

*blank out the shallow clone depth (or it was still shallow cloning if there was any value here)

*delete any workspaces for this job, as it won't "unshallow" the clone, it'll need to re-clone.

A: I had the same error where it was stuck trying to build a previous branch SHA-1.  I removed the branch, it still tried to build the branch SHA-1 and failed the same way.  I configured git with author name/email as suggested, but it still failed. I then removed the Jenkins workspace root directory and the error changed to "Could not checkout ...".  I then recreated the branch directly from master, uploaded a minor change and created a pull request.  Jenkins rebuilt the new branch correctly and began working again.  This discusses the "Could not checkout" issue:  https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-26748

A: I have multiple projects in Gitlab that using jenkins, but sometimes a project will raise this problem. So I don't think it's because git name or email.
Always, I git pull from the upstream, make sure the local is consistent with the remote, then git commit --amend(you can just quit, don't need to edit it) --> git pull -0> git push --> start jenkins.

Q: Modal para informar aos usuários que o cadastro foi realizado com sucesso Bom eu queria que quando o usuário fosse se cadastrar no sistema e se desse tudo certo aparecesse um modal dizendo que:

Usuário cadastrado com sucesso

se já existir a matricula ou email informado aparecera um modal com algo do tipo:

matricula ou email já existente

E se o usuário informa a senha vazias ou as senhas não corresponderem um modal com algo do tipo:

Senha não correspondem

<?php

include("includes/conexao.php");//conexão com o banco

if(isset($_POST["registrar"])) {
    //Busca no banco a quantidade de usuarios que tenham a mesma matricula OU o mesmo email
    $querySelect = "SELECT * FROM usuario WHERE matricula = ?  OR email = ?";

     //prepara a query
    $statement = $connection->prepare($querySelect);

    $statement->bindValue(1, $_POST['matricula']);
    $statement->bindValue(2, $_POST['email']);
    $statement->execute();
    $total = $statement->rowCount();

    //Verificase o valor retornado é 0 (Nenhum usuário igual cadastrado)
 if($total == 0){
        $senha           = $_POST['senha'];
        $confirma_senha  = $_POST['confirma_senha'];
        if (empty($senha)) {
            $mensagem = "Aviso: Senha não foi alterada!";
        } else if ($senha == $confirma_senha) {
            $query = "INSERT INTO usuario (nome, sobrenome, matricula, email, senha)
                  VALUES (:nome, :sobrenome, :matricula, :email, :senha)";

            $statement = $connection->prepare($query);

            $valores = array();
            $valores[':nome'] = (isset($_POST['primeiroNome']) ? $_POST['primeiroNome'] : '');
            $valores[':sobrenome'] = (isset($_POST['sobrenome']) ? $_POST['sobrenome'] : '');
            $valores[':matricula'] = (isset($_POST['matricula']) ? $_POST['matricula'] : '');

        } else {
             $mensagem = "Aviso: Senha e repetir senha são diferentes!";

        }

    }

}

?>

O alert para informar se as senhas são iguais

código que eu queria reaproveitar

Formulário

 <form method="POST" id="caixa" action="registro.php" onsubmit="return validarSenha()"name="formulario">

               Esqueceu sua senha?
               Login?

         </form>

A: Crie um modal na página com um id qualquer (que não já esteja usando em outro lugar) com o corpo vazio. A cada alerta (seja de sucesso, erro, senhas erradas etc.) você envia um texto (puro ou em HTML) para o corpo da modal (classe .modal-body) e mostra a modal:
Código da modal (coloquei o id alertas):

        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">

        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" data-dismiss="modal">OK</button>

No script você joga o texto para a modal e mostra ela:
$(".modal-body").html("As Senha não correspondem!!");
$("#alertas").modal('show');

Vou deixar um exemplo ilustrativo:

$("form").submit(function(e){

   e.preventDefault();

   var senha = this.senha.value;
   var senha_confirma = this.senha_confirma.value;

   if(!senha || !senha_confirma){
      var texto_alerta = "Digite as duas senhas!";
   }else if(senha == senha_confirma){
      var texto_alerta = "Cadastro ok!";
   }else{
      var texto_alerta = "As Senha não correspondem!!";
   }

   $(".modal-body").html(texto_alerta);

MY COUCH IS YOUR COUCH by Gabriele Galimberti
Publisher: Potter Style
Documentarian and photographer Gabriele Galimberti traveled the world for more than two years. He stayed only with members of the diverse, multicultural Couchsurfing.com community, the social network website that connects travelers with hosts across the globe.
The stunning photography collection in My Couch Is Your Couch reveals the wide range of spaces we can call "home." Sleeping everywhere, from a castle-like estate in Germany surrounded by a moat to a hut in Fiji made of metal sheeting, from the recording studio and flat of an indie band in London to a cube-shaped cement home in rural Morocco adorned only with Berber carpets, Gabriele saw the world and its cultures from the inside.
Across six continents, he photographed his hosts at home, at work, and at play, and in doing so, captured the essence of each person and place. My Couch Is Your Couch is about sharing and learning; it presents moments of awkwardness and discomfort, friendship, and sometimes even love. Ultimately, Gabriele reveals what's at the center of travel: connecting with other people.

Fischer's My 61 Memorable Games
This week a remarkable story on Bobby Fischer appeared on the net: a new edition of the American chess legend's famous games collection was published, and put on eBay: My 61 Memorable Games. It was said to be a revised edition of My 60 Memorable Games, with "improved analysis and commentary" and a 12-page foreword by the Man himself (the 61st game being the first match game from the Fischer-Spassky 1992 match).
Larry Evans, who worked on My 60 Memorable Games with Fischer, inspected the sample page provided by the seller. He found "some wording was changed and the analysis was indeed improved, possibly with the aid of a computer."
My 61 Memorable Games was priced $24.95. This is from "Fischer's" foreword:
"I know many readers seek answers to probing questions regarding the Bobby Fischer of 1972. That person no longer exists. I've wanted to release an official version of my book updated in algebraic notation with a few minor corrections. And why now? The United Bank of Switzerland has taken almost all of the money from my 1992 rematch with Borris Spassky -- over $3,000,000. My ongoing battle with them is getting nowhere despite International Law clearly being on my side. So I bring to you my previous 60 games plus one from the event that has caused me so much trouble, in the hopes that sales of this book will reverse that situation."
This little piece of text already gives enough reasons to cause doubt on the whole story. Except for the obvious mistakes (it's Union Bank of Switzerland, not United Bank of Switzerland, and of course Boris instead of Borris Spassky), the whole money argument is nonsense, since Fischer could easily make more money by signing some copies of his books (or at least a number of this "new" one, a service which wasn't provided by the seller).
The book cover on the top right was published on an Icelandic chess blog. I put a little shadow around it, to make it look more like a book, but the original is of course not more than a digital image, making the eBay item even more suspicious. In the meantime, Icelandic papers have reported that Fischer has denied writing the "book", and was quite angry when he heard about it.
Last Monday the book was pulled by eBay, and the seller's account was suspended: "We recently suspended this seller's trading privileges. Due to privacy concerns we cannot share further details." With a smile, we draw the conclusion.


when you have fulfilled your duty, then take your place, To share in their joy and win praise for your hospitality.
Being older, you may talk; that is only your right, but temper your wisdom, not to disturb the singing.
When wine is present, do not pour out discourse, and flaunt not your wisdom at the wrong time.
Like a seal of carnelian in a setting of gold is a concert when wine is served.
Like a gold mounting with an emerald seal is string music with delicious wine.
Be brief, but say much in those few words, be like the wise man, taciturn.
Like the lightning that flashes before a storm is the esteem that shines on modesty.
And there enjoy doing as you wish, but without sin or words of pride.
Above all, give praise to your Creator, who showers his favors upon you.
1 He who would find God must accept discipline; he who seeks him obtains his request.
He who studies the law masters it, but the hypocrite finds it a trap.
His judgment is sound who fears the LORD; out of obscurity he draws forth a clear plan.
The sinner turns aside reproof and distorts the law to suit his purpose.
The thoughtful man will not neglect direction; the proud and insolent man is deterred by nothing.
Do nothing without counsel, and then you need have no regrets.
Go not on a way that is set with snares, and let not the same thing trip you twice.
be careful on all your paths.
Whatever you do, be on your guard, for in this way you will keep the commandments.
He who keeps the law preserves himself; and he who trusts in the LORD shall not be put to shame.
1 [⇒ 32:14-⇒ 33:4] God is shown to reveal himself through the discipline of his law, a clear and safe plan of life for the pious Jew of old. Direction and counsel are aids in following it (⇒ Sirach 32:14-16, ⇒ 18-24; ⇒ 33:1, 3, 4). Sinners and hypocrites, hating the law or distorting it, fail in wisdom and are devoid of security (⇒ Sirach 32:15, ⇒ 17-18; ⇒ 33:2).

Le marquis Marie Louis Henri d'Escorches de Sainte-Croix (parfois orthographié Descorches de Sainte-Croix), né le  à Sainte-Croix-du-Mesnil-Gonfroy et mort le  à Survie (Orne), est un militaire, diplomate et haut fonctionnaire qui sert la France sous Louis XVI, la Révolution française, le Premier Empire et la première Restauration.

Origine

Marie Louis Henri d'Escorches de Sainte-Croix est issu d'une vieille famille normande attachée au fief de Sainte-Croix, dans le pays d'Auge depuis le . Son père, Henri d'Escorches, est mousquetaire à cheval dans la maison militaire du roi et sert pendant la guerre de Succession d'Espagne.

Sous lieutenant le , il obtient le rang de mestre de camp attaché à l'infanterie le .

The major motivation for coaches is obvious to everyone: To win. Coaches will do everything they can to win. Or will they? Shane Battier, NCAA and NBA champion, has a slightly different take*. Do you agree?
Speaking on the Hot Takedown podcast here, at around the 30 minute mark.


September 12, 2017 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Medical Imaging Drugs Advisory Committee (MIDAC) voted overwhelmingly last week to recommend new labels on gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) warning of the possibility of gadolinium retention in the body following administration during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams. The labels will further explain that linear GBCAs carry a greater risk than macrocyclic agents, and that there is a greater risk for certain patient populations, according to Medscape.
The meeting, held Sept. 8, brought FDA officials together with healthcare professionals, industry representatives, patients and patient advocacy groups to discuss the merit of changing the regulatory approach for GBCAs. Representatives from Guerbet, Bayer, Bracco and GE Healthcare were all present at the meeting.
Concerns have emerged about gadolinium-based contrast agents in recent years as research has suggested that gadolinium is retained in the body, particularly in the brain, after administration and could cause adverse health effects, particularly for patients with renal failure. The FDA issued a Drug Safety Communication in May 2017 titled "No Harmful Effects Identified With Brain Retention," in which the agency said it had not identified any adverse health effects from gadolinium retained in the brain, but that it would continue its review.

Great question, Janine. Self publishing is far from false hope. In fact, some of my self published clients have gotten more out of self publishing than some of my traditionally published clients. It has to do with being strategic about how you use your book and being clear about your goals.
First, I'd like to share some stories of self-published authors who are making an impact in their businesses and in other people's lives with their books. After, I'll address the second part of your question–about the marketing part of publishing–because people often misunderstand what publishers do for you–both traditional publishers and self-publishers. Lastly, I've provided some pointers for those going the self-published route.
1. When Evana Maggiore sells a copy of her book, Fashion Feng Shui: The Power of Dressing with Intention, off her internet site or at a speaking engagement, she often generates a $3,000 sale for her Fashion Feng Shui (c) training programs. And the person who takes the training often generates more buzz for Fashion Feng Shui (c) (if they become a practitioner) or ends up working with Evana or one of the many practitioners she's trained.
People may not find her book in bookstores, but many people find her book surfing the internet. As an active member of the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI), past-president and well known innovator, Evana also has a large word of mouth following. Her book helps support that.
2. Pat Hastings often gives away copies of her book, Simply a Woman of Faith. This has led to opportunities such as leading a retreat in Bermuda, receiving new spiritual coaching clients and speaking opportunities. She sells her book at her many speaking gigs and on the internet.
3. Betty Perkins Carpenter has sold over 130,000 copies of her self-published book How to Prevent Falls. She sells her book at her many speaking engagements, on the internet and through a book reseller.
1. They get your book into bookstores. This is the distribution end of marketing. Self-publishing companies will tell you that they'll do this but most self-published authors I've met have complained that they did not get the distribution they were promised. The only exceptions I've heard of so far were from Justin Sach's company. His authors said he did all he promised.
2. Traditional publishers provide a certain cache. Producers and journalists know that your book has met a higher criteria by being traditionally published. National media, in particular, will be more open to a pitch from a traditionally published author (or their publicist).
3. A traditional publisher has more experience in book design and packaging than you as a novice. Ideally, that means they will design a very professional, compelling cover that sells books. Usually that's the case, but publishers can make mistakes. The layout will look professional. Many self published books look terrible. You open them up and the author loses a measure of credibility because it just looks junkier. Traditional publishers also edit books, but the quality and extent of the editing can vary significantly.
What doesn't a traditional publisher do? They generally don't do much publicity or actual marketing (beyond distribution). Unless you're a high profile author, or the publisher has just given you a huge advance and plans to make your book their big book of the year, don't expect much publicity through them. It will be your job to hire a publicist and promote your book. Of course, if you get a nice advance, you can apply that advance money towards the publicity.
What does this all mean for a self-published author?
1. Do your research. If you plan to self publish, ask for samples and make sure you'll get a high quality product. Ask for references. Talk to as many of their authors as you can.
2. Hire your own designers, editor and proofreader or find a hybrid publisher or self-publishing company that you know will do an excellent job. Generally, you'll get better quality design from someone you hire than someone hired by the publishing company. Most publishing companies are more focused on cost than quality. Hire someone for the book cover and someone else for the layout. Make sure you see samples of their work and ask for references. The same goes for editing and proofreading.
3. Don't believe the hype. Ask for references and ask these authors if they got the kind of distribution the publisher is promising. Chances are, they did not. Update: as of 2016, a handful of hybrid publishers really are offering excellent distribution and marketing. So do your homework and ask authors about their experiences. Or just search for reviews about the publisher and you may find enough information to help you assess the veracity of their claims.
4. Don't buy the marketing package, unless you can verify the results of their authors. I have heard many sad tales from authors who bought their self-publishing company's marketing package. Sounds good when you sign and usually they amount to zippo. However if you're a self published author with a positive experience, please let me know by commenting below. I'd love to hear of any companies that actually do a good job marketing. Another 2016 Update: As mentioned above, there are a handful of hybrid publishers doing a great job of marketing. Do your homework to find out which ones you can trust.
Hope that clears up any confusion and answers your questions. Feel free to ask more questions below. And I'd love to hear from self-published authors on their experience with publishers. It's always good to know who's doing a good job for their clients or what advice you have based on your self-publishing experiences.

Match-winner Osaze credits goal to teammates
On June 22, 2014 9:56 pmIn 2018 World Cupby alexsamade
By Tony Ubani
Match-winner Osaze Odemwingie, who tucked away Emmanuel Emenike's cross shortly before the half-hour mark, deserved all the accolades for working tirelessly upfront and even joining the defence.
But he has credited his colleagues for sticking together to secure all three vital points at the Arena Pantanal on Saturday.
'The goal means a lot to me,' he said. 'But the win was down to 90 minutes of concentration and effort from my team-mates.
Nigeria's forward Peter Odemwingie (3rd-R) celebrates with teammates after scoring a goal during the Group F football match between Nigeria and Bosnia-Hercegovina at the Pantanal Arena in Cuiaba during the 2014 FIFA World Cup on June 21, 2014. AFP PHOTO /
'The most important thing today was the character. We even enjoyed defending together.
'I don't know anyone who doesn't love his country. Playing for my fatherland is an honour and a pleasure.
'I didn't expect to score a winner in such an important game, I'm very happy.
'But this was a point the team earned. Right now I'm so high on our team's performance.
"It's been 16 years for a victory for our fans and our country, so we are very excited," said Odemwingie
"We had to work hard for this, they are a very quality team, with a good midfield, they got Edin Dzeko, it was difficult to get the three points but we are happy to bounce back after what our people thought was a poor performance in the first game.
"Victories affect teams in very positive ways, so we are looking upwards, hopefully this three points will get us through to second round and after that, anything can happen.
"We can be inspired, like we were in the African Cup of Nations, we'll keep working hard and do our best."

Dark Retreat
In a world gone dark, trust is a double-edged sword…
After an EMP attack shuts down the world, Megan Wolford has one goal: protect her daughter, Caitlin, at any cost. When a mysterious illness infects Caitlin, Megan must forage for medical supplies at a remote lodge. The last thing she wants is help from her fellow survivors when so many have let her down—but she's running out of time.
Meanwhile, former Navy SEAL Wyatt Morris is doing everything he can to keep his family together after the tragic death of his father. When Megan trespasses on Wyatt's land, he doesn't trust her. But he can't turn away a sick child, no matter how dangerous the world has become. Then the arrival of another stranger, Kyle, gives them all a new reason to be suspicious.
When Megan and Wyatt discover her daughter's illness may be linked to this mysterious stranger, it sets them on a race to discover the truth, before it's too late to save Caitlin—and the rest of the Morris clan. In this deadly new world, trust doesn't come easy.
But if they want to survive, they'll have to learn to work together…

One factor is the growing tension over Syria. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg… What is more important to the creation of the Gezi Park Revolt is the Uludere Massacre by the Turkish government which left 34 Kurdish villagers dead in December of 2011. The Uludere Massacre was quickly covered up the Erdoğan government. Then last month's Syrian attack against the municipality of Rayhanlı on the Syrian border was followed by state controlled blackout of the bombing in the Turkish media. This led to anger at Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's two faced dealings with the public.
Also, many who are protesting decry the alliance between Erdoğan's AK Parti and the Islamist Gülen Movement. The Gülen Movement is a group of Islamists organized around the teachings of Fethullah Gülen, an inspirational Turkish imam who is in self-imposed exile in the Catskills of Pennsylvania. The religious network of Sunni Muslims which support Gülen has become influential in Turkey's judicial and police sectors, not to mention in the business, media and education fields of the country. Erdoğan and Gülen are thought by many protestors to be closely allied. The reality is much more complex with AK Parti and the Gülenists being involved in a complex dance. The two groups are only allied only when it is convenient for both sides. At any rate, Erdoğan is thought by many involved in the revolt to be pushing for a direct Islamist cultural and political take over of Turkey.
In the past few years Erdoğan has stepped up government control of formally independent media outlets. Arrests of academics, lawyers, and politicians has increased as police and national prosecutors flex new muscles. All of these complaints came to a head in the conflict over the last green space in downtown Istanbul, Gezi Park. The Erdoğan government planned to tear down the park and in its place build a shopping mall and a mosque. It was at this meeting point of state repression, media control, neo-liberal privatization and conservation that Turkey exploded.
Erdoğan responded to the protests and police clashes in his typical chauvinistic manner. He claimed that he could have one million of his own supporters in the park. But none of Erdoğan's supporters came. The opposite happened. The revolt grew. Now the resistance against the Erdoğan government in Taksim Square's Gezi Park is historic. We are living in a new Turkey.
The engine that keeps Gezi Park in Taksim Square crowded is the remarkable coalition that's formed among otherwise warring groups–the secularist Atatürkists, the Kurdish rights supporters and leftists. This is not a protest about economic problems or about political parties. It's an ideological protest. All the political and economic stuff will be worked out after a new ideology is formed in Gezi Park.
Groups have come together because they don't like the direction the country is going. There's a huge Ataturk pro-Kemalist group that's secular and doesn't approve of the Islamist tilt of the government. Some of these Atatürkists are supporters of the military and so tend to be oppressive and anti-democratic themselves. But other Atatürkists, while adoring Atatürk, are more democratically inclined.
Meanwhile, many Kurds in Gezi Park see Atatürk as a villain who directly destroyed their national goals of independence. Kurdish leaders who are connected with the Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) have related to me that being Kurdish in Turkey is like being "Black or Latino in the US." Many Kurds say they are between "two fascisms"; Ataturk's Turkish nationalism and Erdoğan's Islamic capitalism. So, progressive Kurds and other leftists are looking for a third way or "Third Wave" by using the unifying concept of minority rights. Then there are the communists, socialists, leftists, gays, lesbians, bisexuals and feminists. These groups have – in some way shape or form – become allied with the Kurdish rights party, the BDP. Perhaps it will be the BDP and the BDP's charismatic Istanbul Representative Sırrı Süreyya Önder who will be able to organize a new "Third Wave" ideology in Turkey.
Presently the BDP Kurds and leftists and the nationalist secular Atatürkists have a working alliance. Neither side trusts the other but both sides are opposed to the ruling Islamist AK Parti of Prime Minister Erdoğan.
If there's a split in this coalition — like if the Atatürkists attack the pro-independent Peace and Democratic Party of the Kurds — the coalition will come apart.
Presently few protestors are listening or reading to the state controlled mass media. Like in Egypt and Tunisia the digital media outlets of Facebook and Twitter have become the new recorders of society. All the older TV stations and newspapers are distrusted. If it were not for social media this present revolt would not have been possible.
I think it is inevitable that the coalition of Atatürkists and Kurds and leftists will break down but before this happens I think we will have time for real social change to happen in Turkey. This is a time, a blessed chance for enlightenment. Gezi Park is a wonderful place to be right now! It makes me think of the Summer of Love in San Francisco in 1967 and Paris in 1968. All the grand sides of Anatolian culture are present; friendship and tolerance and gentleness abide in Gezi Park. The last time Turkey went through something like this was during the Constitutional Revolution in 1908-1909. Just as Ataturk's social revolution resulted from the events in 1908-1909, so too will a new ideology be forged today which will effect Turkey and the world in the coming years.
Love In Istanbul is a resident of Istanbul.
Great, insightful coverage and photos. Makes me want to be there! Keep the wonderful work up.
Respect. & let's keep in touch.
Thanks so much for the support! Your nuanced approach to how Erdoğan is approaching the situation is great feedback for me. It is important to remember that while it is easy to vilify a leader we also need to be fair about how he or she speaks and the way in which he or she uses language to influence society.
I can't wait to see the new version of your blog!


Many stories about Whitney Houston death have been appearing on the net. There a lot of people who are convinced that this great singer's death is not a pure accident and that she has been sacrificed. There is a belief that many of famous people who died lately have been victims of Satanic, Masonic music industry. But, there are people who say that this is the path they have choose.
As I have heard, the use of numbers and dates are very important in occult rituals. This is the point of which I will start from. Whitney was 48 years old. 4x8= 32. The Soverign Grand Inspector General's or the 33 degree masons are advised to repeat the numbers of 32 degree that initiates in the highest degrees of masonry are maintained in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine. 32 degree masons are told that Lucifer is god and Yhwh is also a god. They are also told that Lucifer is light and Yhwh represents darkness. They are made to believe that Lucifer the "god of light" is fighting for humanity against the darkness. Let's see how the fight against light and darkness was in Whitney's death. Remember the age? 48? 4+8=12...Whitney died on 2-11-2012 the day befor Imbolc. Imbolc is the pagan holiday which requires human sacrifice and it is celebrated February 1-2 it is also celebrated on February 12 on the Julian calendar. Imbolc marks the halfway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. The spring equinox marks the time when there is equal daylight and darkness. The struggle between light and darkness. This is the celebration of Sun God and the growing power of the Sun. This is satanic celebration where the participants wear red. They believe that Lucifer is gaining power at that moment. Imboloc is the celebration of the Sun Goddess Bridgid. She is the virgin goddess of unit, war and commerce. I am sure you all remember Madonna's Superbowl performance/ ritual? Whore of Babylon/ Virgin Madonna and Mercury, God of commerce, promoting unity and world peace. Brigid is also the goddess of high places, hills and forts. Whitney died in Beverly Hills in a hotel on 4th floor.
On February 11,2012 the night Whitney died Clive Davis threw a pre-Grammy party in the same Beverly Hilton Hotel while Whitney's body still lay dead submerged in the bathtub upstairs. Clive Davis and others from the music industry celebrated while Whitney's body lay in the room above their heads.
According to reports Whitney overdosed on prescription drugs. Prescription drugs are distributed in Pharmacies. The name is a derivative from pharmakia and it means witchcraft. The goddess Bridgit is a goddess of witchcraft, sorcery and magic. Bridgit is a goddess of wells and fountains. Water and sacred baths are also connected to this goddess because water is seen as a portal to the other side. Whitney was found dead or crossed over the other side underwater in a bathtub. Bridgit is associated with eternal flames. Remember Bridgit is the goddess of childbirth so the water and passing through the other side also represents childbirth. During the Superbowl Madonna/ ishtar/ The whore of Babylon and Virgin gives birth to the Sun God/ Antichrist/ who will usher in a false peace. Madonna who changed her name into Easther played the mother of Tammuz the Sun god.
These rituals surrounding the Superbowl and Whitney's death are connected to the birth of evil and darkness from the spiritual world to the temporal one. Madonna was joined by Nikki Minaj during her Superbowl ritual. Ancient Egyptian women gave birth squatting on magical bricks containing spells for a safe birth.
Nikki than gave her own sermon during the Grammy's on February 12, 2012. Nikki began her show in a mock temple, giving confession to a Priest. The pagan goddess Bridgit appears as St. Bridgid in Roman Catholic church. We are than shown how Nikki is possessed by a demonic spirit. We are than shown satanic priest dressed in white and red robes singing " O, come all ye faithful" which is a song about the birth of Christ. Remember Ceelo posing as a satanic priest orchestrated the end of Madonna's ritual which produces the birth of Sun and world peace... Go back to Nikki, her appearance to Grammy's, dressed in scarlet with the Pope. The hat the pope wears is the Mitre hat it represents dagon which are the fish man from the star Sirius. Dagon= Dragon and it is a symbol for the amphibious demonic spirits come out of the mouth of a dragon, the beast and the false prophet.
Why was Nikki dressed in scarlet walking hand in hand with the Pope at the Grammy's? I believe both women were inverted symbols of two women found in scriptures. Madonna represents Ishtar and Virgin Mary and Nikki represents Elisabeth, mother of the Baptist and that is why she comes with false prophet? This doesn't have sense or it does? What do you believe or what do you think here actually happened? One thing is for sure, we will miss Whitney, and maybe this is something we chose to believe because we can's face the fact she is gone.

It's Wednesday so it must be trivia time.
This week we give you 4 categories; Golf Courses, Restaurants, High Schools and Cheap Trick Members. You have to click the answer that fits that category? Simple enough? You have 90 seconds and don't mess up. A wrong answer ends the quiz.


The table below is courtesy of Camelot's phone line (0845 9100 000 *10). The jackpot prize pool for this, the 94th single rollover draw and the 101st rollover in total, included £3,263,625 (37.2%) rolled over from the previous lottery, in addition to the original jackpot prize pool of £5,521,017 (62.8%).

The draw used ball set 5 in the Lancelot machine and the average main Lotto prize was £24.57. One in every 46.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=2.14% of players).
If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,797,454.
Ticket sales for the main Lotto draw were the lowest ever for a Saturday single rollover draw. Similarly, they hit their lowest ever point for a Saturday HotPicks game too, thanks to a record sixth consecutive Saturday of falling HotPicks sales.
The number of Match 3 HotPicks winners was an all-time record.

We are thrilled to announce a new 2021 coin to mark the Centenary of the transition of the Morgan Dollar to Peace Dollar to "commemorate this significant evolution of American Freedom".
The design on this brand-new 2oz Proof Fine Silver coin has been produced with a pearl black finish in the centre with a silver rim and shows the two profile images of the portrait representing Liberty and the portrait of the Goddess of Liberty representing Peace. The dates 1921 – 2021 are shown beneath the two busts. The lustrous "Pearl Black" finish is a special technique adopted by Pobjoy Mint.
Approved by Buckingham Palace this coin carries an effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II produced exclusively by Pobjoy Mint.
The Morgan Dollar was minted from 1878 to 1904 and then again in 1921. The coin was named after its designer, US Mint Chief Engraver George T Morgan, and the obverse depicts a profile portrait representing Liberty. George T Morgan was born in Birmingham, England where he worked as a die engraver. The Peace Dollar was minted from 1921 to 1928 and then again in 1934 and 1935. It was designed by Anthony de Francisci as a result of a competition to find designs representing Peace. The design showed the head of the Goddess of Liberty in profile. In 1876, the US Mint Director began efforts to redesign the US Silver Dollar. He contacted the Deputy Master of the Royal Mint in London, looking for a die-sinker who would be willing to take the position of Assistant Engraver at the US Mint. George T Morgan was highly recommended and he began working for the US Mint. In 1917 he became the Chief Engraver until he died in 1925. Therefore, an English engraver, who worked at the British Royal Mint, was behind the design of the most famous Silver Dollar.

In the beginning of 2016 I joined goodreads reading challenge, and still had the one from last year in mind. Goodreads suggested reading 70 books and the old one was "30-20-10" – 30 countries, 20 books by the gender you normally read less from (men) and 10 decades.
Comment: A lot less than last year's 26, but I'm OK with that. Kind of.
The other gender: Sadly the men took over this year; 52,9% (i.e. 37 books).
Comment: This is the reason this year's reading will focus on the ladies!
Siri Pettersen's Odinsbarn. One of the best YA books I've ever read. Ever!
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Americanah. The language! It's like every line, every sentence has been thought out, weighed, measured and planned. I love it.
Neal Stephenson's Seveneves. Dystopia meets space adventure! Stephenson has a good track record with predicting tech stuff, so this is bad news?
Nayyirah Waheed's salt. Short, direct and pretty. This is what they should make you read as introduction to poetry in school.

Still to this day, the ribbon blender remains popular. It is mainly due to its initial pricing, low maintenance requirements and low production costs, measured in accordance with each pound of product that needs to be produced by its user. Across the board, ribbon blenders continue to be used to blend just about anything imaginable. They are being used to blend pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, food produce, fertilizer, stucco, clay, potting soils, paint, plastics and chemicals. Ribbon blenders continue to be manufactured in two distinct styles. Style one has a center bottom discharge, deemed to be the most popular and efficient scale to use. Style two has an end discharge. This takes care of discharging requirements at the end of the machine rather than at its center.
But all ribbon blenders have a counter current flow pattern inside of their blending chambers. This is designed to keep batches of materials blended at uniform heights during blending operations. Well designed ribbon blenders can manage fast speeds and they are also easy to load and unload. Ribbon blenders collectively designed and manufactured by its industry leaders will carry a written guarantee. The term to give a customer 'more bang for his buck' could not have been more apt, because the guarantee includes the ability to produce as many innovative and industry standard features as possible at the lowest cost possible to the customer.
Typical features of the best designed and manufactured ribbon blenders are its solid steel construction and its emphasis on upholding safety and sanitary standards. The sanitary design is certified. Once a ribbon blender has been manufactured it will be branded with permanently engraved safety stickers. Machines include safety switches on all its lids and split packing glands are sanitized.

The Bureau of Applied Social Research was a social research institute at Columbia University which specialised in mass communications research.  It grew out of the Radio Research Project at Princeton University, beginning in 1937.   The Bureau's first director was Austrian sociologist Paul Lazarsfeld.  The project took on permanent form as the Office of Radio Research, moving to Columbia in 1939.  It was renamed the 'Bureau of Applied Social Research' in 1944.

The bureau was closed in 1977, when its archives were merged into Columbia's Center for the Social Sciences which in turn became part of the Institute for Social and Economic Theory and Research in 1999, which in turn became part of the Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy in 2001.

Criticism
Daniel Lerner's involvement in the Bureau of Applied Social Research project that Traditional Society was based on has been criticized to be violating ethical considerations of research. The research was conducted as a field survey in Turkey, Greece, Germany, Lebanon, Israel, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Iran & Jordan, with special focus on Turkey. In all, 1600 interviews were used for the book. Samarajiva writes that even though the original purpose of research had been said to be about empathy and media participation, many of the questions in the survey had to do with foreign radio broadcast and sentiments regarding US, UK and USSR. The questionnaire consisted of 9 questions about movies, 17 about newspapers and 49 about radio. Of the 49 questions about radio, 23 were about foreign broadcasting. In fact, Samarajiva writes that,"A restricted document from the Program Evaluation Branch, International Broadcasting Division, Department of State, titled 'Projected Research Plans' and issued prior to the actual research, lists the questions Voice of America was interested in having asked. These questions had corresponding questions in the BASR project as well."He, therefore, argues that BASR research formed the basis to find target audiences for Voice of America. According to the ethics of research as outlined by Ithiel de Sola Pool, the research project did not adequately concern itself with ethics of research. The researchers did not:

 fully disclose the sponsors of the research in their host countries,
 fully reveal to the native researchers the purposes of the research,
 adequately publish the results of the research in the host countries,
 ensure the safety of the researchers involved

In his book Sykewar, Lerner writes,"In its 'cold war' with Soviet Union... The United States is offering mainly dollars... to produce more 'good things of life'... Should it turn out that... the 'good things' we offer are not adequate competition against the 'better world' offered by Soviets, we shall need some new policy decisions... Here we shall need to consult the intelligence specialists (the social scientists) and the communication specialist (the propagandist) - rather than or in addition to the diplomat, the economist and the soldier"

PACE's Godskesen: I wouldn't return home if I were a Turk seeking asylum
by TurkeyPurge | Jan 15, 2017 | Int'l Reactions
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) co-rapporteur Ingebjorg Godskesen has said she would not return to Turkey if she were a Turkish officer applying for asylum in Norway.'
Speaking to Norwegian newspaper VG from Turkey by phone, Godskesen said Turkish NATO officers who applied for asylum in Norway were right about their concerns of returning to Turkey.
Calling on the Council of Europe to monitor human rights in Turkey, Godskesen underlined the excessive use of force in the country and said: "We asked Turkish authorities to visit journalists and public officials in Turkish prisons. But they declined. We have doubts on these issue."
According to Godskesen any Turkish officer who returns to Turkey would be detained, tortured and coerced to sign a false statement.
"I understand their concerns. I have similar concerns. If I were them, I would not return to Turkey," said Godskesen.
The VG daily reported on Friday that 89 Turkish citizens had applied for asylum in Norway in 2016, including military officers and diplomats, saying they fear for their safety if they return to Turkey.
The diplomats and officers denied the charges of coup involvement and told the Norwegian media that they would face arrest and torture if they were to return home.
A Turkish official who had been dismissed from his job and was seeking asylum told VG, "If I go back, I will immediately be arrested and risk torture and being forced to make false statements," adding that "in Turkish prisons, people die for unknown reasons."
Commenting on the issue, a Turkish diplomat in Oslo argued that the officers have nothing to fear despite a relentless purge at home. The chargé d'affaires at the Turkish Embassy in Oslo, Ülkü Kocaefe, also claimed that "the Turkish state has many judicial mechanisms that protect people's rights." She even added that if the asylum seekers refuse to return to Turkey, there might be some validity to the charges.

Principles of Reform Judaism: A primary historical document.
In the 1885 Pittsburgh Platform, the Reform movement in America articulated its core tenets, radically altering traditional Jewish belief and practice. Many of the principles outlined in it were revised–and generally softened–by the leaders of the Reform movement in later documents such as the Columbus Platform (1937), the Centenary Perspective (1976), and the New Pittsburgh Platform (1999).
Convening at the call of Kaufmann Kohler of New York, Reform rabbis from around the United States met from November 16 through November 19, 1885, with Isaac Mayer Wise presiding. The meeting was declared the continuation of the Philadelphia Conference of 1869, which was the continuation of the German Conference of 1841 to 1846.
5. We recognize, in the modern era of universal culture of heart and intellect, the approaching of the realization of Israel's great Messianic hope for the establishment of the kingdom of truth, justice, and peace among all men. We consider ourselves no longer a nation, but a religious community, and therefore expect neither a return to Palestine, nor a sacrificial worship under the sons of Aaron, nor the restoration of any of the laws concerning the Jewish state.
Modern Jewish denominations emerge over time.


You expect your boss to capitalise on your endeavor and your wife to read any confidential mail you get from Paris.
You don't expect anything except high pressure from insurance salesmen or stabs in the back from business acquaintances.
What makes it all worthwhile is the kindness you get from friends.
That's what friends are for. To rally around and be kind when you most need them.
For example, when glamorous fashion model INGE PETRASCH was due to meet the most fascinating man from Hamburg her usual hairdresser was up a tall tree in the Black Forest and couldn't get down. Nobody was aware of this except a large Black Forest wolfhound waiting slaveringly at the foot of the tree. The hound hadn't had a hairdresser's leg for ages and was willing to wait a week for this one.
Eventually Inge was all in curlers and fixed up fine under the dryer with instructions from Katrin not to move until the little bell pinged.
So Inge waited and waited while Katrin, of course, dolled herself up in her most ravishing ensemble and went off to meet the most fascinating man from Hamburg, to whom she explained that Inge was unavoidably prevented from keeping the date and that she, Katrin, was standing-in. That's what friends are for.

Technology has come a far way. Today, with a million apps available for different tasks and needs in every walk of life, life has become a lot easier. However, there are some areas where the basic requirements cannot be met because of on-going violence, and sometimes due to natural calamities. Meet the Pouncer drone, the game changer designed to provide food aid to areas affected by natural disasters as well as those afflicted by conflict. And the most ingenious part? It's edible.
Recently, UK-Based Windhorse Aerospace presented their new Pouncer drone designed by Priti Patel, the UK's Secretary of State for International Development. This self-flying, fast, and reactive drone is designed to carry up to 50 kg of food, fuel and water to cook the food with, and is accurate up to seven meters.
The 9-foot-drones are autonomous and fly on their own with synchronized GPS technology, meaning multiple can be released at once and delivered accurately to a number of affected areas.
They can be launched from a distance, travel up to 120 knots (138 mph), and are highly accurate when gliding. This gives aircrafts attempting to drop food up to 35 km of distance to drop the goods away from a target site, decreasing the risk the delivery aircrafts take when providing aid.
While the fuselage can carry enough food, water, and fuel for up to 50 people, the aircraft itself is made up of edible, starch-based thermoplastic that can also be used for shelter or additional cooking fuel.
Not only are the drones a great way to meet affected areas' food requirement, they are also cost-effective, costing just 500 Euros per non-recoverable drone and 5 Euros per kilogram of food provided. However, the company also aims to make the assembly simple and even cheaper, with the largest frame aimed to cost under 100 Euros. Regardless, these are cheap, multi-use, and highly revolutionary aid drones that can feed, fuel, and even shelter those missing those basic needs.
These edible drones are in development, but the company plans to demonstrate their release from a C-130 aircraft early next year.

From the tsunami in Japan and drought in the US farm belt, to horse meat in Europe and flooding in Thailand, the ripple effects of supply chain risks are being felt around the world. Problems that used to be isolated and manageable can now lead to global supply disruptions and lasting brand damage. Supply chain executives have to be equally vigilant about internal operational risks and even functional support risks in areas such as legal, finance, HR, and IT.
As executives find themselves being asked more and more questions about the risks facing their supply chains, many have decided it's time to reexamine their assumptions and approaches. In this issue of Risk Angles, Kelly Marchese, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP, answers five of the questions she hears most frequently regarding supply chain risk. Then, James Cascone, principal, Deloitte & Touche LLP and leader of the Center for the Global Food Value Chain, takes a closer look at supply chain risks associated with our food supply.
Why is supply chain risk something we should be worrying about now?
We've already poured a lot of time and money into supply chain improvements. What more can we do?
Since we mostly use external suppliers, isn't supply chain risk their responsibility?
How so we eliminate supply chain risk is we can't predict the future?
Resiliency sounds like a good idea. Where do we start?

The days of developers creating every line of code from scratch are over. The intense demand for newer, better software means development cycles have become correspondingly intense. Moreover, the need for Continuous Testing/Development, and Continuous Integration is growing, as Application Development keeps getting complex. Challenges pertaining to Security Testing and Database testing are increasing with the burgeoning Cybersecurity threats for all kinds of enterprises.
In turn, developers need to rely on the pre-built functionality in open source libraries to keep up with the development and testing challenges. However, the problem with this practice is that it also introduces a whole new layer of vulnerabilities into organizations' code. More often than not, these vulnerabilities are more difficult to identify than those in first-party code. Whilst this has been a known issue for some time, organizations are only now seeking second generation solutions that address the business issue in a more comprehensive way. These solutions and expertise can be defined and offered with strategic partnerships in the industry.
CA Veracode, Cigniti's strategic partners in the Security Testing domain recently acquired SourceClear Technologies. With this acquisition, Veracode enhanced and expanded Cigniti's joint software composition analysis offering – helping developers code with both speed and security. Cigniti's Security TCoE consists of dedicated teams of security testing specialists with deep expertise spanning multiple domains/industries, cutting-edge technological resources/tools.
Following are some of the key requisites for testers and developers while dealing with security and related development and testing challenges.
In many cases, when developers pull in an open source library, they are only using one small piece of it. Typically this may be only one method or function. If the overall classification of the library being tagged is vulnerable, you must know if your data is passing through the vulnerable part, or if the method or function being used is not vulnerable, and therefore safer to consume as part of your code base.
By using control flow analysis, the SourceClear scanner can tell if the function in an open source component containing a vulnerability is actually being called by your first-party code. This allows developers to better prioritize work, and dramatically decreases remediation work, in some cases by up to 90 percent. This is where Veracode allows business to continue – with great security insight.
Dependency mapping – do you really know the number of libraries you are calling?
When developers are building open source libraries, they often leverage and call other open source libraries. These libraries might well contain methods from a third library – and so you can quickly understand the compound threat effect that can quickly arise. The end result is layers of open source libraries connected together and where it is common for vulnerabilities in open source libraries to be five or six levels removed from your first-party code. Pragmatically, and as part of better understanding of what risks are in your code base – SourceClear has the ability to map these dependencies through all the open source code in use. In this way, you can identify vulnerabilities you would never know about. Importantly – you can then decide where to start in your journey to cleaner, more secure code.
SourceClear identifies vulnerabilities that are not in, or haven't yet made it into, the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). To unearth these vulnerabilities, SourceClear scours all open source repositories and scans the code. But that alone is not enough. You also need to scan the metadata, commit logs, bug fixes, patch notes as well as any other developer comments. The SourceClear platform then uses a machine learning algorithm (verified by humans) to find security issues that have not been found or disclosed yet. This combination approach gives unparalleled levels of insight.
This enhanced database is extremely valuable. Why? Because it keeps organizations one step ahead of cyberattackers.
When a vulnerability is listed in the NVD, it's essentially being shared publicly for the first time. Key to remember here is that it is being share for both organizations and cyberattackers. Usually organizations have a far less time to fix the vulnerability before attackers start exploiting it. The news is littered with stories of many organizations breached in this way. With SourceClear's technology, you and organizations like you can find and fix vulnerabilities before they hit the NVD and the free CyberCrime advertising it inadvertently provides.
SourceClear maintains a list of approved libraries with their up-to-date vulnerability status. With this data, AppSec leaders can create catalogs for their developers with pre-approved open source libraries to leverage.
SourceClear is a SaaS platform with an agent that directly integrates with continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) platforms, providing a solution that is deeply embedded in the development process. With a variety of SDLC integrations that leverage an agent sitting on the build server, SourceClear allows users to, in most cases, add a single line of code to their build and begin scanning every time a new build is initiated.
Cigniti has a dedicated Security Testing Center of Excellence (TCoE) that has developed methodologies, processes, templates, checklists, and guidelines for web applications, software products, networks, and cloud. It offers end-to-end security testing services including Network Penetration Testing, SCADA Network Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing, Web Application Penetration Testing, Wireless Network Assessment and Penetration Testing.
With this strategic partnership, both the entities collectively present a robust set of Security Testing expertise to our clients for their application development and testing requirements – covering both custom and Open Source code.
Is Cybersecurity a growing concern for your organization and business? Experts from Cigniti and CA Veracode can work with you to address your security testing requirements in the context of the current challenges in the digital sphere.
This blog is written in collaboration with CA Veracode, Cigniti's strategic partner in the Security Testing domain.
Ben Viollet is EMEA Channel Director at CA Veracode. He works hand in hand with key partners such as Cigniti Technologies. He primarily focuses on ensuring an improvement in the security position of the clients.

Mummy: The Curse, Chronicles of Darkness, Games
Mummy: The Curse
Mummy: The Curse is the eighth major supernatural game for the Chronicles of Darkness (the "New World of Darkness"), and the fifth 'limited cycle' game, with a corebook and three supplements initially planned. Four more supplements, plus a fiction anthology and novel, were added during a Kickstarter for a deluxe version of the corebook.
Mummy's developer is C. A. Suleiman, who was also the developer for the supplements to Mummy: The Resurrection, a similar game line for the Classic World of Darkness. More on development can be seen at the Mummy development blog. A Second Edition is in development.
Mummy: The Curse Rulebook
The Arisen Edit
The Arisen, the protagonists of the game, are a particular type of mummy: humans who were subjects of the greatest magic ever worked by mortal hands, the Rite of Return, in the long-lost Nameless Empire. As part of the Rite, they underwent ritual death, and their souls were eternally bound to their mortal remains. Consequently, while the Arisen can be killed, they will always return, their bodies reforming anew.
File:MTC.jpg
Decrees Edit
Main article: Decree (MTC)
As part of the Rite of Return, when the Arisen-to-be stood before their final Judge of Duat, confronting the Judge's accusations and scourges, they made a declaration, a summation of their being that emphasised one part of their fivefold soul. Such a declaration is known as a Decree, and it determines both the Arisen's general outlook and the part of their soul, the Pillar, they are most attuned to.
Guilds Edit
Main article: Guild (MTC)
In the Nameless Empire, there were six organizations that held sway over the land, under the rulership of the Shan'iatu sorcerer-priests. Today, five of these continue as the five guilds the Arisen belong to, half-remembered adaptations of these ancient groups.
Antagonists Edit
As undying creatures drawn to power and relying on mortal servants to enact their plans while they sleep for centuries, it is unsurprising that the Arisen have many enemies.
Rival Arisen Edit
Though they share a common origin, the Arisen do not always work well together. Rivalries are common and deep, between Guilds, among Guild members, and for personal reasons which span millennia. There are also those mummies which have abandoned their duty to Duat and try to destroy the plans of those who still faithfully serve the Judges. Most cryptic of all, however, is the legendary sixth Guild known as the Deceived. These vengeful mummies committed some crime near the end of the Nameless Empire and were destroyed for it, only to somehow survive to this day and seek revenge on the other Guilds.
Mortals Edit
Some mortals know about the existence of the Arisen and are moved to work against them as much as they can. Mummies are forever plagued by graverobbers who plunder their treasures while they sleep and scholars who lust for their secrets. They are tracked by hunters who try to stop their machinations and even by rogue cults, worshipping the Amkhat or wandering after the loss of their Arisen leaders.
There is also the threat of Last Dynasty International, a corporation with enough knowledge of Iremite magic to exploit it for their own purposes. They know of the resources in the possession of the Arisen and want to use them to make money.
The Lifeless Edit
Sometimes servants and sometimes enemies, the Lifeless are less-perfect undead creatures than the Arisen. They include creations of the mummies through secrets of the Guilds and mistaken byproducts of the Rite of Return.
The Amkhata: Hybrid monstrosities that exist in defiance of the natural order.
The Nenitu: Ravenous creatures who make more of their kind through an infectious bite.
The Sadikh: Personal servants of the Arisen, made immortal by the Rite of the Engraved Heart which binds them to their deathless masters.
Shuankshen: When the Shan'iatu completed the Rite of Return, they sacrificed scores of slaves to power the spell. The souls of these unfortunates were tortured and returned as immortal servants by Ammut the Devourer.
The Dead Edit
The Arisen are not dead, but they are closer to the Underworld than most, including the more numerous undead vampires. Like the Sin-Eaters, they can call on and utilize ghosts through their anchors. The ghosts of those who willingly sacrificed themselves for the Arisen are called the Blessed, and they may still serve the undying faithfully. Other ghosts, known as the Restless, can still be forced to serve through the use of Affinities and Utterances.

Trunktober Approved Because: The Stephen King novel that the film is based on remains one of the scariest pieces of written word we've ever read, but this cinematic classic, which was released in 1980, still holds up as well. Many of the iconic horror films we grew up terrified of as kids give us more of a chuckle than a scare at this stage in our lives, but this frightening film holds true to its purpose… to make us all want to stay out of room 237!
Biggest Scare: "The Shining" has plenty of traditional, jump-out-of-your-chair scares, but the aspect of the film that Kubrick did so well was to create a believable sense of isolation, one that makes Jack Torrance's emotional decay all the more terrifying, even when you know it's coming.
