Organizations Seen Ignoring Main Culprit in Information Security Breaches
People are the problem, accounting for nearly 60 percent of security issues, new CompTIA research reveals
Oakbrook Terrace, IL — April 14, 2006 — Organizations are doing little to address the most serious threat to their information security and technology infrastructure, according to new research released today by the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA).
Human error was responsible for nearly 60 percent of information security breaches experienced by organizations over the last year, according to the fourth annual CompTIA study on information security and the workforce. That figure is significantly higher than one year ago, when 47 percent of security breaches were blamed on human error alone.
Yet despite the prominent role that human behavior plays in information security breaches, just 29 percent of the 574 organizations that participated in the survey said that security training is a requirement at their company. Only 36 percent of organizations offer end-user security awareness training.
"The primary cause of security breaches — human error — is not being adequately addressed," said Brian McCarthy, chief operating officer at CompTIA. "The person behind the PC continues to be the primary area where weaknesses are exposed."
Over the past several years a sophisticated security infrastructure has emerged that is better able to detect and prevent attacks. The CompTIA study found that antivirus software is nearly universal (96 percent penetration); and the vast majority of organizations utilize firewalls and proxy servers (91 percent). Disaster recovery plans, intrusion detection systems and written information security policies are also popular measures.
"As we get better from a technology standpoint, many organizations seem to believe that technology solutions alone are sufficient to turn back all attacks, and a level of complacency may be setting in," McCarthy said. "The fact remains that no technology on its own can be completely successful without an equally strong commitment to information security awareness and training throughout every level of the organization."
For its part, CompTIA offers its CompTIA Security+T certification, a foundation-level, vendor-neutral professional certification for network security practitioners with two years' experience and who have daily "hands-on" responsibility for information security. The certification was developed with the involvement of some 1,100 experts around the world with first-hand experience in IT security implementation.
Virus, Worm Attacks Still Prevalent
Virus and worm attacks were the most commonly mentioned security problem, as they have been through all four years of the CompTIA study on information security. A lack of user awareness, browser-based attacks and remote access were the next most frequently mentioned security problem areas.
About 40 percent of organizations participating in the survey said they had experienced at least one security attack in the past year. The most severe security breaches were reported by large organizations (7,000 or more employees) and educational institutions.
The financial impact of information security issues was vividly illustrated when survey respondents were asked to place a dollar value on the cost of their last security breach. The mean values were over $11,000 for the last security breach and just under $35,000 for breaches over the last year. Some organizations reported a financial impact above $50,000 for security breaches, showing that while a "garden variety" breach may be little more than an inconvenience, the potential for serious harm is always present.
CompTIA commissioned TNS Prognostics, a market research and consulting firm for the IT industry, to conduct the study to identify current IT security practices and highlight security challenges confronted by organizations of varying sizes and sectors. More information on the study is available at the CompTIA Web site.

Kary Mullis, the Inventor of the PCR Test, on Anthony Fauci
Kary Mullis, the Inventor of…
Fake PandemicGlobal ConspiracyHealthVideo
Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test, had very strong opinions on Anthony Fauci. Kary died on August 7th, 2019 of pneumonia. Shortly after his death, Bill Gates & John Hopkins University held Event 201, a simulation of a coronavirus pandemic.
For a wealth of information on PCR and other aspects of this supposed pandemic, please see the 'Fake Pandemic' category on this site.
PreviousPrevious post:External peer review of the RTPCR test to detect SARS-CoV-2 reveals 10 major scientific flaws at the molecular and methodological level: consequences for false positive results.NextNext post:Weaponizing Germ Theory – The Remarkable Doctor A. Fauci
Thanks for the information. Poor guy. I'm not the only one who's suspicious of his death from pneumonia. Only a few months before the live debut of their Event 201 plan-demic puppet show, his death was all too convenient for those pulling the strings.
Patrick J. Herbert says:
You are welcome! And I totally agree his death was quite suspicious considering all that has transpired since.
Roger Herbert says:
People being imprisoned in their homes has caused more health issues that the Chinese virus. Add those deaths to the total and you will have the number that should be used to prosecute nearly every governor, CDC head, mayor or state legislators and county officials for genocide.
I mostly agree, except for the simple fact politicians really have no choice in the matter. If they don't follow "the script", it's more than losing whatever current and future rewards the controllers hand out. They risk ridicule, disgrace, violence against them and/or their families and friends, and even death. I don't think for a second politicians are running anything, except for maybe a few inconsequential decisions here and there to give people the impression our elected leaders have decision-making power.
Dr. Lofton says:
Very interesting that he discovered the test used today to create numerous false positives due to the labs over cycling the test = false positives
If Dr. Mullis was alive today, he would have blown the top off the false positives as he would have told the people the truth that his test is a screening protocol not a diagnostic protocol
Interesting that Dr. Mullis contested HIV being the cause of AIDS and Dr. Fauci was linked to the AIDS project of the 1980's
Interesting that the NIH worked with Dr. Mullis using his PCR test to finalize the Human Genome project, and the NIH's director is Fauci
Interesting that Big Pharma paid 300 million to own the PCR test, but Dr. Mullis only got 10,000$, while his employer profited $300 million
Interesting that he died on pneumonia but today they would call those same symptoms Covid
Interesting that Bill Gates agenda has been mass vaccinate the planet, and he and John Hopkins University meet in the 201 project
Interesting that The Gates Foundation, Zuckerburg Foundation, and Mike Bloomberg started the Covid tracking database
Shannon B says:
Very interesting indeed!
Nita Smith says:
There is no doubt in my mind that the death of Kary Mullis was not pneumonia but reeks of a more sinister agenda. There are too many clues to come to any other conclusion. I suspect that everyone who was close to him, including his immediate family, were sworn to secrecy or too naive to suspect anything untoward. They could easily have concocted some poison or something else to make him ill and then had him sent to hospital and made up a story of a disease that killed him. They would no doubt have put Covid 19 on the death certificate, but that hadn't been made public….. yet. It's so transparent, even a child could see through it.

Fact Checking Dr Laura Pressley's Texas Electronic Voting Corruption Case
Dr. Laura Pressley has been making the rounds speaking to Texas conservative political clubs about her legal case against her opponent in the Austin City Council 2014 Runoff - claiming electronic voting corruption.
As a former volunteer for True the Vote, an election worker, currently a Republican member of Harris County Early Voting Ballot Board, and an active citizen at the Texas Legislature working to improve our Texas Election Code, I went to hear her presentation, ready to take notes on improvements needed in our election processes.
As I listened to her story and viewed her "evidence," I realized that many of the claims and accusations she made were not consistent with my own experience working elections. So I explored a little deeper when I got home.
I found so much evidence to refute her implications and allegations that I would need to write a book to cover it all. Because she changed her pleadings at least six times, it is too confusing to cover all her points. So I chose just five of her claims to offer a brief summary. I am not an attorney so I am including links to documents from her lawsuit so you can read all the details for yourself to make up your own mind.
I am also including a very concerning "coincidence" that I found doing research on this case, because Texas conservatives deserve to know the WHOLE TRUTH.
Claim #1 – Dr. Pressley is a strong, active Republican
When I heard her speak, Pressley claimed to be a Republican Precinct Chair and Delegate to the 2016 Texas State GOP Convention. Both are TRUE.
The Travis County GOP confirmed that she was appointed Chair of Precinct 140 to fill a vacancy on Feb. 9. She was a delegate at the 2016 Texas GOP Convention in Dallas.
Pressley has a Democrat voting history.
She voted in the Democrat Primary in both 2012 and 2014.
According to the Austin Bulldog, "Pressley said she does not identify with any particular party, saying, "I'm not a Libertarian, I'm not a Democrat and I'm not a Republican. I'm an Independent, and I vote that way."
Pressley's campaign treasurer, Fidel Acevedo, is a strong Democrat.
Not only did he run for
State Chair of the Texas Democrat Party,
he is a delegate
to the 2016
National Democratic Convention.
Pressley has made political donations to Democrats in both State and Federal elections.
Examples: John Kerry, Hillary Clinton,
ActBlue Texas, and Capital Area Democrat Women.
Full report: here
Claim #2 – Pressley claims electronic ballot images are not stored according to Texas Law
Texas Election Code (TEC) is divided into chapters, each covering a different election topic.
In her talk, Pressley quotes Chapter 52 covering paper ballots and then applies the same requirements to electronic ballots.
Pressley does not quote Chapter 124 covering electronic Voting System ballots or Chapter 129 covering Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) Voting Machines – the machines used in Harris and Travis Counties.
She also does not quote the Texas Secretary of State (SOS), the chief election officer of the State of Texas, who is responsible for legal interpretations of election law.
The SOS defines an electronic "ballot image" stored by our electronic voting system as "Electronically produced record of all votes cast by a single voter."
Pressley doesn't argue that the machines are not recording votes cast. She argues that the printout of the voter record is not a legal "ballot image" because basically it doesn't look the same as a paper ballot.
Claim #3 – Pressley claims a legal recount in Texas can't be done in counties using electronic voting
The Texas SOS outlines the procedure for a recount from votes cast on electronic voting machines.
Cast Vote Records (CVR), also called "ballot images," are printed on paper – one per voter - then counted by hand.
Court records show Pressley admitted she was present at her runoff re-count. She personally observed all (aprox. 4000) CVRs printed, sorted and re-counted. She also admitted that she had poll watchers present. She even admitted that the Secretary of State's Office had an observer present.
She also admitted that the Texas Secretary of State's Office sent her a letter confirming their representative was present and that a legal recount did take place.
Yet, Pressley still claims a legal recount did NOT take place because of the same argument she used in #2. She doesn't feel the CVR is a legal "ballot image," therefore the recount was not legal.
She uses the same argument to claim in her talks that "4000 ballots are missing," even though she witnessed about 4000 CVRs printed and re-counted.
Pressley argues the electronic "ballot images" as defined by the SOS don't qualify as ballots, therefore about 4000 ballots are actually "missing."
Court records also show Pressley refused to agree that she had received letters from the Texas Secretary of State, even when the letters were on Texas Secretary of State letterhead, because, as Pressley argued, the Texas Secretary of State didn't actually write the letters herself.
Claim #4 – Pressley claims Early Voting in Texas is corrupt because Zero Tapes are not printed
During elections, before the poll opens, "ZERO TAPES" are printed to show, by INDIVIDUAL PRECINCT, "0" votes for each candidate on the ballot.
At the end of voting, Result Tapes are printed listing, by INDIVIDUAL PRECINCT, each candidate's name and the number of votes each received.
The image on the left shows the type of machine used in Harris and Travis Counties.
The tape is similar to adding machine paper, only not as wide.
In her talk, Pressley shows a copy of a notice given to Travis County election workers stating, "DO NOT PRINT TAPES."
She implies in her talk that this is "corruption" and argues in her court case that it was illegal…even though the Texas SOS issued a waiver allowing a modified printing for Early Voting and countywide voting locations. (pilot program)
Why a waiver? Because when voters are allowed to vote at any polling location, and all candidate totals are printed by INDIVIDUAL PRECINCT, it would take so long to print, it would not be a feasible process.
I will use Harris County's 2014 General Election as an example….
There were 200+ different races or propositions on our ballot and we had 1,069 precincts.
Estimating just 1 inch of tape to print the results per race…
How much time would that take? Estimating 1 second per inch:
That is one reason WHY the SOS gives a waiver for printing full tapes ON SITE during Early Voting or when countywide polling locations (pilot program) are used.
Instead, a limited tape is printed on site and the numbers are reconciled with the other election records.
Zero and Result Tapes ARE produced, just in a different format and process.
Court records show Travis County did produce Zero Tapes during Pressley's election.
Claim #5 – Pressley claims her charts prove mathematically that corruption occurred in her election
In her talk, Pressley showed the chart below on a large screen – as proof of corruption in her election. It charts the results of the general and runoff elections by candidate. Pressley implies the straight line formed by her election results shows, mathematically, that someone tampered with her election.
But, look at the chart more closely.
There were 18 precincts which voted in Pressley's District 4 City Council race. Pressley chose to use only HALF in her chart – just 9 precincts - to chart a straight line. Yet, she used different amounts in the other charts.
But, I can do the same with the District 6 chart Pressley shows above. The one in the upper left hand side. If I remove some precincts, I can make a straight line with those results, too
For REAL FACTS, to the left is the chart showing the results of ALL 18 precincts in Pressley's race.
As an extra test, I plotted Ted Cruz's Republican Primary and runoff races in 2012, using results from Pressley's same 18 precincts.
Then I chose just 9 precincts (as Pressley had done) and was able to chart a straight line. It seems to indicate a voting pattern from the voters in those precincts rather than fraud.
Ted Cruz Results in Pressley's 18 Precincts
Ted Cruz Results Using Only 9 Precincts
On the left, is my final test.
I charted the results of all of 18 precincts which voted in Pressley's race in a different format.
The top represents Pressley's races in 2014.
The bottom shows the same 18 precincts in Ted Cruz's Races in 2012.
Both display a consistent pattern with a couple of expected variations. No extreme variations.
(Note: One precinct had from 0-5 voters per election. That is why the percentages are from 0-100.)
You can check the results for yourself at the links below:

Austin City Runoff Results 12/16/14: here
Travis County GOP Primary Results 5/29/12: here

You can save time by using my Excell spreadsheet to produce your own charts: here
The judge didn't feel that Pressley produced the evidence needed to make her case of election corruption. I agree with the judge. But you can read the court documents below and decide for yourself.
Read Pressley's Sanction Order signed 7/23/15: Here
Read Pressley's Amended Final Judgement signed 7/23/15: here
Read Pressleys 4/16/15 Deposition: here
Read Pressley's Motion for Sanction Hearing report (Part 1) held 6/18/15: here
Something I read on page 216 of the 6/24/15 sanction hearing got me thinking when her opponent's attorney, Charles Herring, argued,
"The case is really not about an election contest at all...it's really about that ballot image. It's really about her testimony, 'I prefer to have paper ballots.' That's why we are here. There's a place for them to go and it's the legislature. There's another place for them to go, the Secretary of State, and say, 'No, you need to stop this.' They don't do that. They come to court..."
My experience tells me that:
Paper ballots + courts = liberal agenda.
So I decided to dig a little deeper into Pressley's connections to the hand counted paper ballot people.
Is Pressley's push for paper ballots just a coincidence?
Texas conservatives understand the importance of the November 2016 election. Not only to keep Texas RED, but to stop our runaway federal government.
Liberals know it, too. They try to block strong conservative voting laws in the Legislature. When they fail, they go to the courts to block implementation.
The current top three Liberal desires are:
No photo ID to vote
Return to paper ballots
Photo ID for Voting Lawsuits
Without having to prove one's identity before casting a vote, it is much easier for persons to
"vote early, vote often."
That is why the liberals have been trying to get the Federal courts to stop Photo ID for voting in Texas before the 2016 Election.
LULAC even tweeted it.
The lawsuit, Texas NAACP v. Steen (consolidated with Veasey v. Perry) was filed by a group led by the NAACP. You can read more about it: here.
Online Voter Registration Lawsuit
Registering to vote online, without any proof of identity, makes it much easier for fraudulent voter registrations to be filed.
A lawsuit was filed in Federal court by the Texas Civil Right Project on 3/14/2016. You can read more about it: here.
If you think this is not about using the federal courts to force Texas to move to online voter registration, just read the press release from the League of Women Voters:
"Texas adoption of online voter registration will end the confusion."
Return to Paper Ballots Lawsuits
Stalin said it best. "It's not who votes that counts,…it's who counts the votes!"
That is why Liberals have had an organized effort to return Texas to paper ballots (hand counted at the precinct level) since 2003.
In 2005, VoteRecue was organized in Austin focused on returning to hand-counted paper ballots.
In 2006, the NAACP filed an unsuccessful lawsuit against our Texas electronic voting machines. The suit traveled through the courts until 2009.
Also in 2006, VoteRescue members, Abbe Waldman DeLozier and Vickie Karp, wrote the book, "Hacked! High Tech Election Theft In America," attacking the reliability of electronic voting.
In 2007, Vote Rescue organized a state-wide coalition called, Texans for REAL Elections, which included:
Code Pink Austin
Instruments for Peace
Project for the New American Citizen
TruthSeekers Austin
Independent Texans
Texans for Accountable Government
Texas Motorcycle Rights Association
In 2010, LULAC passed a resolution calling for hand counted paper ballots in all elections and…
A group in Austin released their own "election study" calling for hand counted paper ballots.
That group included:
VoteRecue (Karen Renick, Vickie Karp, Abbe Waldman DeLozier and Jenny Clark)
LULAC District 12
Travis County Green Party and
Gray Panthers of Austin
In 2014, Dr. Laura Pressley ran for office in Austin and consequently filed a lawsuit claiming she was harmed by electronic voting corruption in Travis County.
The Austin Chronicle reported that Pressley's attorney, David Rogers, said,
"... previous challenges of that issue have failed for a lack of standing, and that a challenge by a defeated candidate 'who may have been harmed' by the process stands a better chance of being heard in court."
Could it be just coincidence that….???
VoteRecue's founder and members not only donated to Pressley's campaign, they served as poll watchers for her recount.
Pressley testified that Abbe Waldman Delozier (VoteRecue & Hacked…) is her "friend" and was present at Pressley's deposition and court hearing.
Pressley testified that her largest donor, Jenny Clark (VoteRescue), gave her "more than $10,000" for her lawsuit.
When asked in court how long he had known "the VoteRescue people," Pressley's attorney, David Rogers, replied, "Since 2006, … at a VoteRescue meeting."
Could it be just another coincidence that….???
Two champions of LULAC's paper ballot resolution, Marcelo Tafoya and Fidel Acevedo, are BOTH currently serving as TREASURERS for Pressley's campaign and lawsuit funds.
Could it be simply more coincidence that….???
Nelson Linder, President of the NAACP Austin, who was a plaintiff in the 2006 lawsuit, was listed by Pressley as a "Key Leader" supporting her campaign….and on LinkedIn, Pressley lists herself as a member of Austin NAACP.
Pressley served on a steering committee for Texans for Accountable Government (Texans for REAL Elections) and they endorsed her campaign.
The Gray Panthers of Austin (Austin election study) endorsed Pressley's campaign.
Could it be even more coincidence that …???
Pressley claims to have worked with Texas Eagle Forum the same year they issued a resolution for the Republican Platform stating,
"the Republican Party of Texas urges that that all ballots in future elections be issued on paper ballots only."
And could it be just a remarkable coincidence that….???
After voting in the Democrat Primary in 2012 and 2014, Pressley voted in the 2016 Republican Primary which qualified her to be a delegate to the Texas GOP Convention, where a good portion of her effort was spent attempting to get a "return to paper ballots" plank into the Texas GOP Platform.

All just coincidence? You decide.
As for me. I am a fan of Gibbs on NCIS.
I tend to agree with his Rule #39 -
"There is no such thing as coincidence."

CATA's Entertainment Express trolley is your connection between downtown Lansing and East Lansing's entertainment district. Cabs and limos are available as an alternative to public transportation.
The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) named the Capital Area Transportation Authority the 2007 Best Public Transportation System in North America.
Transit is CATA's recommended app for comprehensive trip planning in real-time. It is used in over 130 cities like Grand Rapids, Chicago and even Paris. Transit improves your trip planning experience by allowing you to view route schedules and see your bus on a map. For more information about the app, visit the CATA Transit webpage here.
Going for a longer trip? The Capital City Airport has added more direct flights from major cities with direct service from Atlanta, Orlando and D.C. The Airport also offers a variety of car rental services. For those who prefer to stay on the ground, Lansing is also located on the beautiful Midwest Amtrak train route. There are also various taxi and limo rental services in the Lansing area to serve you.
Bikers, runners, walkers, and inline skaters will want to check out Lansing's River Trail. The River Trail covers more than 8 miles from Old Town Lansing in the north, through Riverfront Park downtown and extends through the campus of MSU to the east.


Driftwood Brewery's latest creation, Limb From Limb RyePA, features the new Lumberjack™ hop from the BC Hop Company. Using the idea of lumberjacks as a starting point we created a name and artwork for this label that loosely represents the opposing forces of the spiciness of the rye and the melon/sweet citrus notes of the hops.
From time to time, in lumber town, when the air is still you hear it.
When men, women and foolish youth fight nail and tooth an spirit.
So on an on, the 'jacks advance and strike them down… limb from limb.

Q: Looping through the page numbers with Python BeautifulSoup Attempting to update my script so that it searches through not only the url provided but all of the pages in range (1-3) and adds them to the CSV. Can anyone spot why my current code would not be working? The addition to pages following 1 are in the following format: page-2
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
from csv import writer
from random import randint
from time import sleep

#example of second page url: https://www.propertypal.com/property-for-sale/ballymena-area/page-2

url= "https://www.propertypal.com/property-for-sale/ballymena-area/"
headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/106.0.0.0 Safari/537.36'}

for page in range(1, 4):
    req = requests.get(url + 'page-' + str(page), headers=headers)
    # print(page)

    soup = BeautifulSoup(req.content, 'html.parser')
    lists = soup.find_all('li', class_="pp-property-box")

    with open('ballymena.csv', 'w', encoding='utf8', newline='') as f:
        thewriter = writer(f)
        header = ['Address', 'Price']
        thewriter.writerow(header)

        for list in lists:
            title = list.find('h2').text
            price = list.find('p', class_="pp-property-price").text

            info = [title, price]
            thewriter.writerow(info)

sleep(randint(2,10))

A: You are overwrite req multiple times and end up only analyzing the results of page 2. Put everything inside your loop.
edit: Also the upper limit in range() is not included, so you probably want to do for page in range(1, 4): to get the first three pages.
edit full example:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
from csv import writer

url = "https://www.propertypal.com/property-for-sale/ballymena-area/page-"
headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/106.0.0.0 Safari/537.36'}

with open('ballymena.csv', 'w', encoding='utf8', newline='') as f:
    thewriter = writer(f)
    header = ['Address', 'Price']
    thewriter.writerow(header)

    for page in range(1, 4):
        req = requests.get(f"{url}{page}", headers=headers)
        soup = BeautifulSoup(req.content, 'html.parser')

        for li in soup.find_all('li', class_="pp-property-box"):
            title = li.find('h2').text
            price = li.find('p', class_="pp-property-price").text

            info = [title, price]
            thewriter.writerow(info)

A: The solution from bitflip is fine, however a few things I'll point out to help you.

*

*try to avoid variable names that are predefined functions in python. For example list being one of those.

*while csv writer is a fine package to use, also consider using pandas. You will likely further down the road need to do some data manipulation and what not, so might as well familiarise yourself with the package now. It's a very powerful tool.

Here's how I would have coded it.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
import pandas as pd
from random import randint
from time import sleep
from os.path import exists

#example of second page url: https://www.propertypal.com/property-for-sale/ballymena-area/page-2

url= "https://www.propertypal.com/property-for-sale/ballymena-area/"
headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/106.0.0.0 Safari/537.36'}

# Check if csv file exists
file_exists = exists('ballymena.csv')

for page in range(1, 4):
    rows = []
    req = requests.get(url + 'page-' + str(page), headers=headers)
    # print(page)

    soup = BeautifulSoup(req.content, 'html.parser')
    lists = soup.find_all('li', class_="pp-property-box")

    for li in lists:
        title = li.find('h2').text
        price = li.find('p', class_="pp-property-price").text

        row = {
            'Address':title,
            'Price':price}

        rows.append(row)

    df = pd.DataFrame(rows)

    # If file doesnt exists, write initial file
    if not file_exists:
        df.to_csv('ballymena.csv', index=False)
        file_exists = True

    # If it already exists, ammend to file
    else:
        df.to_csv('ballymena.csv', mode = 'a', header = False, index = False)

    sleep(randint(2,10))

Library outreach van OLiVe gets rolling
Greater Victoria Public Library connecting with community through OLiVe, a community outreach van
Pirjo Raits
Mar. 8, 2016 11:00 a.m.
Communications officer Jessica Wollard shows off the Greater Victoria Public Library's new OLiVe outreach van by the Centennial branch.
No library card? No problem. Can't get to the library to get a card? No problem. Want books? No problem.
The Greater Victoria Public Library (GVPL) wants to make it easier for people to read and to that end the library has started driving a library van to locations around the Greater Victoria area.
OLiVe, short for Outreach Library Van, is painted in bright colours with images of buildings on it. It will have books for lending and some for free. It will also have a Wi-Fi hot spot so interested readers can sign up for a library card. The only criteria for getting a card is to be a resident in the Greater Victoria region and have identification with a home address on it.
"The van will do outreach," said Jessica Woollard, communications officer for the GVPL. "We will use it to attend festivals and community events, for example the Saanich Fair."
The van will also be used to replenish the book shelves at Our Place. It will be a way for some people to interact with the library.
The GVPL has almost a million digital items which can be "borrowed" online with a library card. Most of these can be accessed by downloading from the library's InstantFlix and its cloud library. More information is available on all of the programs and resources at the library at gvpl.ca/digital-content/ebooks-and-more.
The GVPL aims to build community and support literacy and lifelong learning by providing free access to information, space, tools and expertise. GVPL provides services and collection in 10 libraries and online to more than 315,000 residents in 10 municipalities.

North West Air Ambulance boost from Cheshire Forest Hunt
By Ian Ross @ianrossguardian Senior Reporter
The hunt is supporting the air ambulance
CHESHIRE Forest Hunt has raised vital funds for the North West Air Ambulance.
At the hunt's Point to Point Race at Tabley House on April 7 a cheque for £1,450 was presented to the Air Ambulance (NWAA) by members of Cheshire Forest Hunt.
The cheque was presented by the three members of this year's Tumbler's Club, one of who, Chance Wilson, owes a debt of gratitude to the NWAA this season, and the Cheshire Forest's Huntsman.
Funds for the NWAA were raised by the Cheshire Forest's Tumbler's Club - every faller makes a contribution of £5, with each fall recorded throughout the season.
At the end of the season awards are presented at the annual Tumbler's Club dinner.
The Countryside Alliance's head of hunting Polly Portwin said: "It is great to see the Cheshire Forest Hunt raising such a generous amount for what is a vital service available to all members of the public, not just those who follow hounds, in North West England.
"A large number of hunts organise a variety of events throughout the year to raise funds for both local and national charities, and the hunting community is very proud of the part it takes in assisting these important charities with their fundraising."
The North West Air Ambulance (NWAA) is the helicopter emergency medical service which covers North West England, spanning Cheshire, Cumbria, Lancashire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside.
The NWAA's three helicopters provide a vital service 365 days a year when speed and accessibility is critical.
The NWAA flew 214 missions last month, and has flown 2,546 missions in the past 12 months.
Established as a charity in 1999, the fleet relies wholly on donations and funding from individuals and organisations.

Tomgram: William Astore, A Bright Future for Weapons and War
There are always winners and losers, aren't there? For instance, the seven children who died in that last drone strike the U.S. military launched in Kabul as it was leaving town were certainly losers. Those who ordered that strike against an ISIS-K suicide bomber who wasn't there" well, no, not actually.
Let's face it. If the history of twenty-first-century America tells us anything, it's that you just can't lose when you're part of the military-industrial complex, not in this country, no matter what happens on any battlefield. If you don't believe me, just consider this: at the very moment the U.S. military chaotically prepared to leave Kabul and head for home in apparent defeat, the relevant Senate and House committees, Democrats and Republicans alike, agreed to add another $24 billion to the already staggering $715 billion the Biden administration had requested for the Pentagon's fiscal year 2022 budget. The Forever Wars over? Not in funding terms, that's for sure.
Admittedly, these years were a nightmare, as civilians in distant lands were killed or displaced from their homes in staggering numbers; torture became the norm in America's ill-named "war on terror"; and that prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, offshore of American justice, never stopped operating. Honestly, what we've been through these last 20 years should have been called the war not on but for terror or perhaps for the spread of terror (since there are now far more Islamist terror groups on this planet than on September 11, 2001).
Meanwhile, America's losing commanders, who led that 20-year war in Afghanistan and should have been fired en masse, are now largely blaming the politicians for what happened. No wonder TomDispatch regular William Astore, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel and historian who runs the Bracing Views blog, takes a dim view (or is it a nuclear-bright view) of where this country is heading militarily in the post-Afghan War era. Tom
The U.S. Military, Post-Afghanistan
Can We Finally Give Peace A Chance?
By William Astore
Yoda, the Jedi Master in the Star Wars films, once pointed out that the future is all too difficult to see and it's hard to deny his insight. Yet I'd argue that, when it comes to the U.S. military and its wars, Yoda was just plain wrong. That part of the future is all too easy to imagine. It involves, you won't be shocked to know, more budget-busting weaponry for the Pentagon and more military meddling across the globe, perhaps this time against "near-peer" rivals China and Russia, and a global war on terror that will never end. What's even easier to see is that peace will be given no chance at all. Why? Because it's just not in the interests of America's deeply influential military-congressional-industrial complex.
When that vast complex, which President Dwight Eisenhower warned us about six decades ago, comes to my mind, I can't help thinking of a song from the last years of the then seemingly endless Cold War. (How typical, by the way, that when the Soviet Union finally imploded in 1991, it barely affected Pentagon funding.)
"The future's so bright (I gotta wear shades)" was that 1986 song's title. And I always wonder whether that future could indeed be nuclear-war bright, given our military's affection for such weaponry. I once heard the saying, "The [nuclear] triad is not the Trinity," which resonated with me given my Catholic upbringing. Still, it's apparently holy enough at the Pentagon or why would the high command there already be planning to fund the so-called modernization of the American nuclear arsenal to the tune of at least $1.7 trillion over the next 30 years? Given this nation's actual needs, that figure blows me away (though not literally, I hope).
What is that "triad" the complex treats as a holy trinity? It consists of land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs; nuclear-weapons-capable bombers like the B-1, B-2, and the venerable B-52; and submarine-launched ballistic missiles, or SLBMs. Given our present vast nuclear arsenal, there's no strategic need for building new ICBMs at a price beyond compare. In fact, as the most vulnerable "leg" of the triad, the ones the Air Force currently has should be decommissioned.
Nor is there a strategic need for an ultra-expensive new bomber like the Air Force's proposed B-21 Raider (basically, an updated version of the B-2 Spirit "stealth" bomber that's most frequently used these days for flyovers at big college and Super Bowl football games). America's Ohio-class nuclear submarines that still wander the world's oceans armed with Trident missiles are more than capable of "deterring" any conceivable opponent into the distant future, even if they also offer humanity a solid shot at wholesale suicide via a future nuclear winter. But reason not the need, as Shakespeare once had King Lear say. Focus instead on the profits to be made (he might have added, had he lived in our time and our land) by building "modernized" nukes.
As my old service, the Air Force, clamors for new nuclear missiles and bombers, there's also the persistent quest for yet more fighter jets, including overpriced, distinctly underperforming ones like the F-35, the "Ferrari" of fighter planes according to the Air Force chief of staff. If the military gets all the F-35s it wants, add another $1.7 trillion to the cost of national "defense." At the same time, that service is seeking a new, "lower-cost" (but don't count on it) multirole fighter what the F-35 was supposed to be once upon a time even as it pursues the idea of a "6th-generation" fighter even more advanced (read: pricier) than 5th-generation models like the F-22 and F-35.
I could go on similarly about the Navy (more Ford-class aircraft carriers and new nuclear-armed submarines) or the Army (modernized Abrams tanks; a new infantry fighting vehicle), but you get the idea. If Congress and the president keep shoveling trillions of dollars down the military's gullet and those of its camp followers (otherwise known as "defense" contractors), count on one thing: they'll find ever newer ways of spending that dough on anything from space weaponry to robot "companions."
Indeed, I asked a friend who's still intimate with the military-industrial complex what's up with its dreams and schemes. The military's latest Joint Warfighting Concept, he told me, "is all about building Systems of Systems based in AI [artificial intelligence] and quantum computing." Then he added: "All it will do is give us more sophisticated ways to lose wars." (You can see why he's my friend.) The point is that AI and quantum computing sound futuristically super-sexy, which is why they'll doubtless be used to justify super-expensive future budgetary requests by the Pentagon.
In that context, don't you find it staggering how much the military spent in Afghanistan fighting and losing all too modernistically to small, under-armed units of the Taliban? Two trillion-plus dollars to wage a counterinsurgency campaign that failed dismally. Imagine if, in the next decade or two, the U.S. truly had to fight a near-peer rival like China. Even if the U.S. military somehow won the battles, this nation would undoubtedly collapse into bankruptcy and financial ruin (and it would be a catastrophe for the whole endangered planet of ours). It could get so bad that even Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk might have to pay higher taxes, if, that is, they haven't already slipped the surly bonds of Earth to mingle with the twinkling stars.

How cool is this idea from Joyful Events? I love the idea of a dessert table with a pretty design behind it, but I have never seen it executed like this! What a fun, easy, high impact way to highlight a table. And what about using something like this as a backdrop for a photo booth station? Perfectly easy and perfectly darling.
And yes, this too I shall be copying soon… like maybe tomorrow.

Education Innovation Clusters (EdClusters) are rooted in the belief that partners who operate outside traditionally siloed sectors are uniquely poised to accelerate innovation. This is especially relevant in education: With complex ties to federal and local government, community organizations, businesses, parents, and students, the education sector only sees lasting improvements when it has buy-in and support from a diverse, interwoven group.
As networks, EdClusters are most effective when they have a deep understanding of the social connections between schools, researchers, technology developers, and community members working to solve local education challenges. To aid EdClusters in developing this understanding, Digital Promise has created a new toolkit that delivers a crash course in Social Network Analysis (SNA). By engaging with this toolkit and the provided resources, EdClusters will be better equipped to build an SNA and leverage their connections in their local education ecosystem more effectively.
In addition, our toolkit links to several free and paid tools that can be used to enhance learning about social network analysis, conduct surveys, and visualize network data and connections.
As the education sector moves forward, it is more critical than ever that organizations in the space continue to tackle the sector's most pressing issues, including educational equity and closing the opportunity and achievement gaps. By involving diverse community members in EdClusters work, we can increase students' access to the institutions, resources, and social capital that are necessary for strong, healthy futures.
Over the next few months, Digital Promise will release additional tools and toolkits designed to help EdClusters further improve their networks. These tools focus on identifying assets within a community and provide guides to help strengthen them. By using these guides, communities will be better equipped to develop and maintain strong EdClusters, with the goal of delivering equitable, innovative education for all students.
For questions or feedback about the SNA Toolkit, reach us at clusters@digitalpromise.org.

Q: Projectile Motion - Trajectories From Points For a little background, this problem came up due to something I'm trying to code, however the problem itself is disparate from that. I know the basics of projectile motion and kinematics from a pair of Physics classes I took for CCP, but to figure this out would be far too tedious at current.
Is it possible to figure out the angle of a projectile's lauch knowing only x naught, y naught, x one, y one, "gravity," and the magnitude of the initial velocity? No time, no components of the velocity, and no final velocity.
Intuitively I can tell you that there should be exactly two answers for any given starting conditions (with the exception of anything where (x1, y1) lies at the vertex of any trajectory above 45°, if my sleepy brain processes that right), and I want both of those. The thing is that I don't know of any equations that can pull that angle out (even just vx0 or vy0 would be enough) without time, which is something I explicitly want to be able to pull from this equation for the next iteration.
For reference, the reason I need to do it this way if because I'm internationally refining a predicted trajectory based on another moving object (therefore time is needed to figure how far said other object will move in that time), as shown here, in the non-gravity-compensating version: https://paste.mod.gg/ejoxasabod.cpp
Since the code is recursive, I need an equation that plays nicely with that, and doesn't need time up front. Unless - and I know this is veering off math and into code - there is a way to use straight-line-time to estimate the time needed. That is, is it possible to turn this into a problem of ratios? If I know the magnitude of the initial velocity and the positions of both objects, is it feasible to figure out time just by inferring how long it would have to take based on how far off of horizontal the final location is?
I know for a fact that this is possible, but I'm not sure how to do it at the moment. I'm certain a system of equations could do it, but I'm not sure if I could code that in in C#. If anyone has any ideas on either the math or coding aspects, throw them my way; they are greatly appreciated!

A: Supposing that the initial coordinates are $(x_i,y_i)$, the projectile equations are
$$
\cases{
x= x_i+(v_0\cos\theta) t\\
y=y_i +(v_0\sin\theta)t-\frac 12 gt^2
}
$$
eliminating the time
$$
2v_0^2\cos\theta((y-y_i)\cos\theta-(x-x_i)\sin\theta)+g(x-x_i) = 0
$$
so we have two equations
$$
\cases{
2v_0^2\cos\theta((y_0-y_i)\cos\theta-(x_0-x_i)\sin\theta)+g(x_0-x_i) = 0\\
2v_0^2\cos\theta((y_1-y_i)\cos\theta-(x_1-x_i)\sin\theta)+g(x_1-x_i) = 0
}
$$
and three unknowns $x_i,y_i,\theta$. Solving for $y_i,\theta$ after assuming $x_i=0$ we will find theoretically $8$ solutions...

Pugh Joins Ebbsfleet
Striker joins Fleet on a months loan
Andy Pugh has joined Conference South side Ebbsfleet United on a one month loan.
Pugh, 24, is yet to make a competitive appearance for the U's this term.
United Head Coach, Richard Money, said:
"We are sending Andy out to get some games. It's not a long term thing, he's gone to get some games and some match fitness as he has missed a lot of football. It's about managing the group, we didn't want to get to a situation where we had Elliott, Sam-Yorke and Pugh all needing to come back in to the team to get games."
Money also suggested that other loan moves could be possible:
"You have to make a judgement call on who to let go and get games at certain times, and, because Tom (Elliott) and Delano (Sam-Yorke) weren't fit, if we hadn't have been able to bring in Kwesi (Appiah), Andy would have stayed and maybe wouldn't have got game time and where would that leave him a month down the line. We have to keep everyone involved and it may well be the case that one or two others need to go out on for a month and get games to keep them match fit and ready for when they are needed for us."


Throughout the project, TRACE involved a pool of relevant stakeholders to carry out brainstorming sessions, questionnaires and other feedback mechanisms on possible solutions, including local actors like local governments, commercial associations or schools.
The TRACE Take-Up Group (TUG) was a permanent table composed of public and private actors interested in the roll-out of TRACE tracking tools beyond the project. The members validated the development of the tools throughout the project, actively contributed to drive the processes through their ideas and initiatives, and had direct access to the project's key reports and events.
Local and regional authorities with measures in place and/or ambitions/strategies for active travel policies and/or mobility tracking services.
Organisations and associations with a strong expertise in the field of behaviour change campaigns and active travel policies.
Private companies with a strong expertise in the field of development of ICT/ITS tracking tools, and consultancies working on (cycling/walking) urban mobility planning.
The TUG met three times during the project lifetime.
The TUG members were selected through an open call, published in November 2015 on the TRACE website and promoted via all the project's communication and dissemination channels. We got more than 40 applications, demonstrating the high interest of stakeholders in this topic.
Workshop "Walking and cycling tracking for behaviour change initiatives": TRACE findings on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for tracking services to be used in behavioural change.
Mobiel21, together with other partners, is assessing to which extent automated tracking services or tools can increase the effectivity or efficiency of behaviour change initiatives. In the 1st part of the workshop the preliminary research results were presented and participants were asked to comment on these from their own field of expertise, and ultimately validate the results. Next to that, Mobiel21 presented the 3 applications which will be developed for behaviour change initiatives (Positive Drive, Traffic Snake Game, Cycle-to-shop). The participants, divided in 3 groups (one per app), were engaged in an interactive discussion to define strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of this approach.
Workshop "Walking and Tracking data for planning and policy": TRACE findings and further work on indicators and planning approaches consistent with tracking data.
TIS, supported by the University of Belgrade and Polis, is investigating whether the information provided by data on the tracking of the movements of walkers and cyclists could potentially change the way urban mobility planning and policy are happening in cities, in particular through the development of a dedicated tracking data analysis tool. Divided into 4 interchangeable groups, participants were asked to share relevant ideas on the following issues concerning tracking for planning: urban Mobility paradigm, local visions and goals; planning and operational activities in urban mobility; challenges; indicators and visualizations. Through this interactive mechanism, the workshop received important feedback on the potential and conditions for the application of tracking data for walking and cycling planning and policy.
The 2nd Take-Up Group meeting was held at the Polis premises on 2 February 2017. It focused on giving feedback to the TRACE project about the evaluation of the tools and their use in the long term. This 2nd Take-Up Group meeting featured a mix of presentations followed by an on-site field test in Brussels of the two apps: Biklio and Positive Drive.
The meeting started with a welcome address by TRACE project manager Paulo Ferreira who introduced the participants to the project. Joao Barreto form TIS and Jeroen Blom from Ijsberg presented respectively Biklio and Positive Drive apps. Stephanie Keßler from LuxMobility presented the TRACE evaluation plan with its relative set of objectives being evaluated in the pilot cities; Kate Pangbourne from the Institute for Transport Studies (University of Leeds) presented the mobility behaviour change and evaluation as developed by the EU funded project MyWay and highlighted some lessons that could be used for Trace; Jan Christiaens introduced the TRACE edition of Traffic Snake Game (with 90 trackers, 4 receivers and a website that is integrated with the campaign website) and the evaluation aspects being developed by the campaign.
Field Testing of TRACE Apps: two groups tested each tool on their mobiles while cycling, Biklio, and walking, Positive Drive.
During the on-site field testing in Brussels the Take-Up group participants were split into two homogenous groups in order to alternatively join both Bilkio's cycling test and the Postive Drive's walking tour. Participants had to download both the apps on their personal mobile in order to test themselves the tools. The field testing of TRACE apps took approximately one hour. Fake rewards and prizes were foreseen both for Biklio and for Positive drive.
Behaviour change campaigns and data for planning - how does this go together?
From pilot to long-term campaign - prolonging the life of a campaign - what do users or stakeholders need? How can you keep them engaged after the pilot?
Different pilots - different data. What could be common elements of the TRACE evaluation?

The US stock market enjoyed the success of the much awaited IPO from Lyft, the first of the startup unicorns to go public for the first time.
The market is expecting a slew of similar tech stocks to hit the market where in each of the companies that are still privately held and backed by venture capital firms, are worth over $1bn. The list includes names such as Lyft's US rival Uber, online scrapbook company Pinterest and home-sharing site AirBnB.
Lyft currently has a market value of just over $24bn wiht its Nasdaq listed shares at $72 each. It market value is five times more than the British High Street stalwart Marks & Spencer. But compared to M&S, which was formed about 100 years ago, Lyft is just seven years old. The company however is yet ot make any profits for a quarter.
Lyft's business model is based on the concept that having a car is expensive and with the growth in urbanization, more people are not buying vehicles but using ride hailing services to get around.
There is merit in Lyft's business model, believes Rett Wallace, founder and chief executive of Triton Research. "The idea that you don't have to have a car that you don't use 95% of the time, and maintain, and insure and garage… transportation could be performed better than what Detroit has given us," Wallace said.
But transportation as a service industry is still in its nascent stage.
"There isn't a ton of evidence yet that it's happening on any broad scale," says Tom White, senior research analyst at DA Davidson.
Lyft's rival Uber, which is slated to launch its IPO in April, is also a loss making venture like Lyft. The company however managed to bring down its losses to $1.8 billion last year from $2.2billion a year earlier.
Typically venture capital-backed businesses make losses "because they basically sacrifice profits to achieve very high growth or scale", said Prof Strebulaev.
A big difference between the internet companies of the late 1990s and early 2000s, and now is seen by White.
"In the previous cycle, the business models were more about promise of the future and the promise of the future revenues. Many companies today do have those revenues. It is now about a promise of future profitability which is very different," said Prof Strebulaev.
Economics is one of the reasons that a slew of tech start-ups are planning to go public this year, believes Prof Strebulaev. The list of companies includes Uber, Pinterest and AirBnB, serviced office provider WeWork and messaging firm Slack.
"If there's going to be a recession then the IPO window might close," he said. "That happened, of course, in 2000 when the IPO window closed, when not a single company could go public," he said.


611 rounds of .45 auto ammunition. All 230 grain. All brass case except for the TulAmmo (steel). Got rid of last .45 handgun, so will sell this ammo cheap. $150 for the lot, at least 20% off store price by my figure, and no tax!

Q: Is there any way to obtain contact list of specific path in a journey? Here we have a case which needs to export contacts who passed a specific path in journey to 3rd party system. Is there any way to catch those contacts and add them to specified data extension?

A: We run a large number of journeys that have a similar requirement. Our solution was to create a Journey_Flags DE and update this within each Journey via an 'Update Contact' step with relevant campaign codes, entry/exit datetimes, path flags, etc.
This way we can keep a rich record of customers' journey progressions in one DE, makes that data easily available for other journeys/filters/etc to reference, gives us plenty of flexibility to expand and adjust, and makes it simple to export for reporting and other tasks.


Christian attorney Zhang Kai during apparently coerced confession.
(Morning Star News) – China's crack-down on state-approved churches continued last month with a harsh sentence given to a pastor of an official church in Zhejiang Province after he criticized authorities' demolition of church crosses.
Pastor Bao Guohua of Holy Love Christian Church in Jinhua received a sentence of 14 years in prison, and his wife Xing Wenxiang 12 years, after they were convicted of "corruption, financial crimes and gathering people to disturb social order," according to The New York Times, citing the Feb. 26 Zhejiang Daily, the province's official newspaper. Their son, Bao Chenxing, was handed a three-year prison sentence.
The three were arrested last August after they publicly criticized the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) policy of demolishing crosses on churches in Zhejiang; area Christians believe they are being persecuted for their protests. The court also reportedly ordered 600,000 renminbi (US$92,000) be confiscated from Bao, and that he pay a fine of $15,300; confiscation of $92,000 from his wife, and a fine of nearly $14,000, were also ordered.
Nine other members of the church staff were also reportedly convicted and received lesser sentences. The previous week, authorities detained 16 pastors in the greater Wenzhou area over the removal of crosses.
Bao is one of eight pastors of the official Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM) churches detained. On Jan. 27, Gu Yuese, an official with the China Christian Council (CCC) and pastor of China's largest TSPM church, was arrested and is reportedly detained in a "black jail" on charges of corruption. Pastor of Chongyi Church in the Zhejiang capital, Hangzhou, Gu was detained after criticizing CCP policy in Zhejiang, where the government has demolished the crosses of some 1,800 churches.
The government has replaced the leadership at the Chongyi Church.
On Jan. 29, authorities also arrested on "corruption" charges CCC Chairman Li Guanzhong in Pujiang County, Zhejiang, who served as senior pastor of Puyang Christian Church in Jinhua. Li and his wife, Zhang Shuzhen, are also reportedly being held in a "black jail," where they have no access to legal representation. Li also had protested CCP demolition of crosses in the province, including his own church's, and had objected to TSPM churches flying the Chinese flag.
The government has also brought formal charges against nearly 20 human rights lawyers who had worked against the demolitions in the province, and authorities have broadcast coerced "confessions" from several of them. On Feb. 25, Christian attorney Zhang Kai appeared on state-run television to air what appeared to be a coerced confession.
After being held incommunicado in secret detention for six months, Zhang appeared underweight and hunched over in a black sweater to say that he had broken Chinese law, disrupted social order and endangered state security, the Globe and Mail reported. He also said that "foreign forces" had helped fund his work as part of a campaign to "smear" China.
Zhang, 37, has helped organized attorneys to defend some 100 churches.
"These acts violated the law of China and went against the code of lawyers," he said, adding that he had sought fame and money, according to the Globe and Mail.
Authorities seized Zhang in August shortly before he was to meet with U.S. State Department officials about religious freedom violations in China, according to the Times.
Zhang's on-air statements appeared to be scripted, and he appeared physically exhausted, a U.S. colleague said in a statement on Feb. 25. Purdue sociology professor and founding director of the university's Center on Religion and Chinese Society, Fenggang Yang, said Zhang was a visiting scholar at the center in 2013-2014.
The few examples of evidences against Zhang shown in conjunction with the on-air "confession" appear to be dated before 2013, he said.


Boston's dagger came on a three-run home run from Eduardo Nunez in the bottom of the seventh inning. Nunez walked up to the plate to face Dodgers reliever Alex Wood with two outs in the frame. He took Wood deep to left field for a 373-foot shot with an exit velocity of 107-mph, according to Statcast. The bomb gave Boston a four-run lead, which it would not surrender.
Andrew Benintendi went 4-for-5 for the Red Sox. Ace pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Chris Sale were chased from the game in the fifth frame, with the Dodgers star allowing seven hits and five runs. Sale surrendered five hits and three runs, but the Red Sox bullpen allowed just three hits and one score over the final five innings.
Dodgers slugger Manny Machado went 1-for-3 with three RBIs in the loss.
Benintendi hit an RBI single off of Kershaw in the bottom of the first inning to give Boston a 1-0 lead. J.D. Martinez brought in the Red Sox's second run with an RBI single in the same inning.
Matt Kemp attempted to bring the Dodgers back, cutting the deficit in half with a solo home run in the top of the second frame. Machado plated Justin Turner to tie the game at 2-2 in the top of the third inning.
But J.D. Martinez ripped an RBI double in the bottom of the third frame to give Boston a 3-2 advantage. Machado would the game again for the Dodgers with an RBI ground out in the top of the fifth inning, but then to Dodgers started piling on.
Xander Bogaerts brought in Mookie Betts when he grounded into a force out in the fifth frame, giving the Red Sox a 4-3 advantage. Rafael Devers made the score 5-3 with an RBI single later in the inning.
Machado plated another Dodgers run with an RBI sacrifice fly in the top of the seventh inning, cutting the deficit to one run once again.
But this time the Dodgers couldn't rally.
Wood gave up Nunez's three-run bomb in the bottom of the seventh inning. That shot gave the Red Sox their final four-run advantage.
Game 2 of the 2018 World Series is set for 8:09 p.m. on Wednesday in Boston.


One of the finest construction attorneys in Alabama. In conjunction with another associate legally fought and won a sizeable reward against one of the largest residential builders in Alabama. If you are seeking an attorney with honesty and integrity, who knows the law and will do what he says he will do; Will Beckum is the one to hire. Larry L.
I spoke with three other lawyers before choosing Mr. Beckum as my lawyer. He has been dedicated to my case from the first time we spoke. He is compassionate about my legal issues with my job and was exactly the type of lawyer I needed to turn the tables. I would recommend him to anyone seeking an employment lawyer. Liz S.
