Russia accused after airstrike kills 22 kids in attack on UK-funded Syrian schools
At least 22 children and six teachers died in the attacks according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights
Updated: 28 Oct 2016, 18:34
RUSSIA is accused of bombing three schools in Syria funded by UK aid, killing 22 children.
Development Secretary Priti Patel slammed the "barbaric assault on the world's humanity"

Ms Patel hit out after 35 were killed in the bombardment of the Ahmad Kalaji school complex in Hass, in the Idlib province on Wednesday.
The UK pay nine teachers' salaries at the three schools as part of a £12.6 million education programme, the Sun can reveal.
At least 22 children and six teachers died in the attack according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

International Development Secretary Priti Patel hit out last night: "Schools should be safe places to learn, not transformed into places of slaughter."
"These airstrikes are a barbaric assault on the world's humanity. The daily atrocities cannot continue."
She added: "It is time the Syrian regime, and their Russian backers end this conflict."
A source at the Department for International Development told The Sun: "At around 10:45am on Wednesday at least seven airstrikes hit a complex of three UK-funded schools.

"The raid hit the Hass school for boys, the Hass school for girls and the Ahmad Kalaji school as well as the surrounding area in Idlib province of Northern Syria."
They added: "The UK has provided funding to a number of teachers in these schools to help ensure that 1,500 Syrian children would have the chance of an education."
Britain's aid budget has contributed £12.6 million to an education programme which helps 7,000 teachers across 800 schools in opposition-held Idlib and Aleppo provinces in Syria.

Last night DfID said the the project has provided access to education to 275,000 Syrian kids, half of them girls.
Unicef's executive director Anthony Lake said: "This is a tragedy. It is an outrage. And if deliberate, it is a war crime."
He added: "This latest atrocity may be the deadliest attack on a school since the war began more than five years ago."
Yesterday Russian diplomats refused to rule out their war planes were responsible.
Their ambassador to the UN said: "It's horrible, I hope we were not involved."
Vitaly Churkin added: "It's the easiest thing for me to say no, but I'm a responsible person, so I need to see what my ministry of defence is going to say."

But a Whitehall source pointed the finger of blame at the Kremlin, saying: "After Russia's past history of murdering civilians in this conflict it would be difficult to believe they were not involved.
Foreign Secrtary Boris Johnson tweeted yesterday that the "world will be sickened" by the bombing and Russia "must end the butchery".
Last night the White House said: "We don't know yet that it was the Assad regime or the Russians that carried out the airstrike, but we know it was one of the two.
"Even if it was the Assad regime that carried it out, the Assad regime is only in a position to carry out those kind of attacks because they are supported by the Russian government."
A Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman claimed Moscow had nothing to do with the strikes.

Dubai-based unicorns-in-waiting are attracting huge amounts of investment, and here is how to follow suit.
Uber. Airbnb. Dropbox. They're household names –unicorns– all valued at over US$ 1 billion. But what about the Middle East's rapidly growing digital disruptors such as Propertyfinder, Wadi and Namshi? These Dubai-based unicorns-in-waiting are attracting huge amounts of investment, underlining the UAE's status as one of the best places in the world to hatch a technology business.
So, what are these UAE startups doing that attracts investors like bees to honey? More importantly, what can you do to follow suit? Here's your guide.
In the UAE, the most well-funded startup is Noon, the e-commerce startup spearheaded by Emaar Properties chairman Mohamed Alabbar. A new report by CB Insights says the fledgling business has raised a cool US$ 1 billion in funding since November last year. Billed as the Middle East's homegrown competitor to Amazon, Noon is backed by a group of prominent Gulf investors, including Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Kuwait's MH Alshaya & Co. Noon is battling against another Dubai startup Souq.com, which was recently bought by Amazon. How can it possibly win the fight?
The answer may lie in language: 'We are proud to take this important first step in our journey and we are committed to making Noon the region's Arabic-first e-commerce platform,' Alabbar was quoted as saying about the company formation. The e-commerce startup has partnered with market leaders, small and medium enterprises, and other startups, with the goal of helping them capture a greater share of the e-commerce market in the region. In turn, this will create a strong network of local businesses focused on e-commerce and its offshoots.
Find that uniqueness which you can use in enhancing your local market share. Leverage a competitive edge through being proudly homegrown and specific to your region when it comes to language.
Another tech startup with unicorn potential is Wadi, an e-commerce platform which raised US$ 67 million in a Series A round led by Al Tayyar Travel Group in 2016. It was the largest funding of its kind in the Middle East. Commenting on the record-breaking Series A funding, Abdullah Bin Nasser Al Dawood, Managing Director & CEO Al Tayyar Travel Group, was quoted as saying that the company had proven a strong capability to adapt to the market and build a huge portfolio of products. The market, however, is by no means oversaturated. E-commerce represented 10.2% of total retail sales worldwide in 2017, up from 8.6% on the previous year, according to data specialist eMarketer. Global retail e-commerce sales reached over US$ 2.3 trillion, a 24.8% increase over the previous year. Wadi is tapping into this potential goldmine by offering a general merchandise marketplace online.
Started in 2015 by the Middle East Internet Group (MEIG), it is now one of the leading e-commerce players in the region, offering more than 150,000 products from more than 2,000 international brands.
Adapting to the market means you can continue to ride the wave, meet customer demands and remain attractive to investors.
Propertyfinder has actually been around for several years, and key to its growth was a second round of funding in 2016. The property firm sold a 10% stake to investment firm Vostok New Ventures for US$ 20 million. The deal valued the firm at US$ 200 million and enabled the company to further develop its technology for the benefit of both homebuyers and developers.
It may sound simple, but by resolving common customer frustrations you can disrupt the market and give your company a chance to secure its place in the market. And even if you've been around a few years, there are still opportunities if you're ready and willing to evolve.
Another innovative e-commerce business growing at a blistering pace is Namshi, the online fashion startup with more than 50,000 products serving customers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain. Namshi targets the 20-something customer by promoting a fashionable lifestyle. Around 80% of the business comes from mobile devices. Namshi's Marketing and Brand Director Ian Smith was quoted as saying that the mobile market is 'something we're working hard on to tap into', and it's clearly working. Launching an app has also played a significant part in the company's growth. The amount of money changing hands for this fledgling business is astounding. Emaar Malls acquired a 51% stake in Namshi for US$ 151 million in an all-cash transaction, which valued the five year-old Namshi at US$ 300 million. The remaining 49% is owned by Rocket Internet though its Global Fashion Group.
Since launching in 2012, Namshi has grown to become one of the Middle East's leading online fashion retailers. The business offers free and fast deliveries in the GCC, 24-hour delivery in the UAE, a 14-day exchange policy, and the option of cash on delivery.
Overcoming barriers and knowing how to reach your market can be a major challenge for any e-commerce startup. The key is in solving your audience concerns and addressing their pain points. Make the most of digital technology and social media to raise awareness of the brand and the safety of buying online.
Providing a rich experience for property seekers is the simple philosophy behind the runaway success of property portal Bayut. CEO Haider Ali Kahn has been quoted saying his business is a 'driver for change' and this is no idle boast. Since its launch, Bayut has a growth rate of over 100% annually over the last five years. As with any search engine-based business, content is key. 'Starting out, we had to physically map out a lot of the locations and mine data, so that we could create more content around each property to provide a richer experience to a property seeker', Kahn told Entrepreneur Middle East magazine. The startup also introduced an Arabic real estate blog to connect with local property seekers. Like Propertyfinder, Bayut has also invested heavily in new technology to enrich the user experience with the use of artificial intelligence to offer more insight to listers, and interactive tools to calculate commute times.
As well as investment in the user experience it is important to consider having a physical presence when launching your startup in the UAE. Although Bayut only did so in 2014 (after starting the business in 2008), they had gained a wealth of experience around launching portals in emerging markets, and this, they claim, has been a key factor in their success in the Emirates. Practice most certainly does makes perfect.
The success of these tech startups in attracting investment and achieving extraordinary growth rates is no accident. The UAE has emerged as a significant incubator of tech companies in the Middle East, thanks largely to new government initiatives to attract investors and entrepreneurs. The Financial Times has heralded Dubai as the 'startup capital' of the region, buoyed by the UAE's 78% smartphone penetration, a diverse population, as well as versatile banking products and strong financial support services. So, when it comes to unicorns, the only question left is this: Who's next?


"Trace phone call" is the command many telephone companies used to receive in response to their customer's efforts to stop annoying and harassing prank calls.
Being able to trace these phone calls is important because you're not going to learn much from your Caller ID service, since most prank callers use an unlisted number-- but by using ReversePhoneDetective.com, you can trace phone calls and stop prank callers dead in their tracks.
One way to trace phone calls is by using a service provided by the majority of telephone providers. The service, known as Call Trace, is easy to use. When you receive a prank call, you immediately hang up on the caller. After a minute, pick the receiver back up to make sure the line is clear (you'll hear the dial tone again), then press *57.
Most phone providers will give you instructions, but the important thing is the provider will find the number that called you. Generally, to trace phone calls, the service costs around $5 each time you use it, although some providers set a maximum monthly charge.
While convenient, this service has serious disadvantages. For one, you have to receive several prank calls from the same number before action will be taken. Qwest, for example, will not do anything until you've traced the number three times. That means if you're dealing with a halfway intelligent pranker, he or she is just going to keep switching phones.
Another weakness is that the number or name of the caller won't be given to you. Even though the prankster has violated your privacy and the peacefulness of your home, the telephone provider is not allowed to violate their privacy by letting you know who the culprit is. If the calls persist, the provider will turn over the information to the police but never to you.
Sometimes, the phone company will go further and will provide another method to trace phone calls. This method is Time Synchro Tracking. The telephone provider gives you a clock that is synched up with their clocks. Then, when you receive the prank call, you stop the clock and contact the phone company.
With the exact time of the call, they can use their computer to track down who made the call. You'll probably only get them to provide this service if you're having a serious pranking problem - and you're willing to pay for it.
If none of those methods to trace phone calls impresses you, then try the following. Telephone companies offer another service known as Last Call Return. When you get a call, you can hit *69 and you will get the last number that called your phone. By using what is known as a reverse phone detective, it is then possible to track down the caller and his or her address.
ReversePhoneDetective.com is a service which allows you to trace phone calls and receive more information about the prank caller. You will have access to public records, expanded databases, background check resources and more. If the person harassing you is up to no good, you can finally put a stop to it PERMANENTLY.
3am each morning I recieve a nonvoice call from 532053205320 for the last 6 mos. How do I stop it?


Broccoli Romanesco offers a distinct nutty flavor described as more intense than broccoli, this pale green vegetable tastes like a cross between broccoli and cauliflower. Its unique growth pattern creates ornate twists from four-to-five-inch, light green heads.
Broccoli Romanesco is available year-round.
A botanical dilemma, this edible has caused much confusion about its true parentage. Sometimes called Romanesco broccoli and sometimes called Romanesco cauliflower in North America, the French call it Romanesco cabbage while the Italians refer to it as broccolo Romanesco.
Broccoli Romanesco can be prepared like cauliflower or broccoli. Separate florets and blanche briefly, then toss with hot pasta and cheese. Boil romanesco florets until tender, then puree with garlic, cream and parmesan. Saute florets in a hot skillet, the stir in a mixture of miso, red pepper, anchovy, almonds and water. Blanch romanesco and cauliflower florets, then combine with grated cheese and bechemel, stuff filling in cannelloni shells, top with tomato sauce and bake. To store, place in a plastic bag; refrigerate. Use within two to three days for optimum quality.
Romanesco, a unique Italian variety of broccoli of the genus Brassica oleracea, produces a yellowish-green dense head that forms an unusual spiral pattern. Maturing about seventy-five to one hundred days after planting depending on variety, romanesco develops multiple compact heads that may be individually snapped off as needed. Mostly native to Europe, the Middle East and Asia, the large Brassicaceae family includes broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, turnips, collards, rutabagas, kale and kohlrabi, to name a few. The brassicas, also known as the mustard or cole family, are fairly easy to grow and prefer cool moist conditions.
Recipes that include Broccoli Romanesco. One is easiest, three is harder.

Reading your morning newspaper (digital or newsprint) can become a fascinating part of your day. That is, if you know what to look for and how to respond in an expeditious and meaningful fashion.
Rutgers, the state university of New Jersey, after years of playing the doormat, finally positioned itself on the collegiate football map. In reading an article in the morning paper, I found myself focusing on a quote written by a fellow who apparently has a Rutgers-related football blog. It happened to be a quote I can use in future seminars. It really hit home with me.
It referred to finding ways to make your players felt good about themselves.
I spotted the name of the writer of this particular blog post and a little marketing creativity entered the picture. Follow my thought pattern and see if I can stimulate your own creativity and get your mojo humming.
Rutgers is finally receiving some positive press thanks to their football team.
People are jumping on the bandwagon.
This guy (the author of the blog) has a following.
I read his blog and posted a comment.
I do this for a few weeks, becoming a familiar name to him via his blog.
I write a personal email to him asking to meet for a cup of coffee informing him that as a result of his blog, I have a few ideas I would like to share.
His position, coupled to his distribution network, added to the Rutgers Movement might make for a Rutgers Group Cruise.
He is in an ideal position to serve as the "pied piper" for the group.
The distribution is in place. The pied piper is in place. The topic interest is in place. The cruise specialist (you) is in place.
You have absolutely nothing to lose when pursuing these types of opportunities. You won't ever know where they will lead until you get into some form of blog motion.
Sooner or later, those affiliated with the Rutgers Movement are going to take a cruise. The question remains, will it involve you and your expertise?
Oh! And another thing. Tomorrow morning's paper will contain another five opportunities just like this one.
Now, get out there and have some fun marketing yourself and your business.

PROS: Authentic-looking Polaroid effects. Lots of preloaded content. Very affordable. CONS: iPhone and iPad versions are separate. Can't import images from albums.
During the last couple of years we've seen a number of Polaroid-licensed products, which was a decision made by this well-known company in order to prolong life of its most popular brand. Even though it was clear that Polaroid's name won't be applied to just about any product, it seems that the initial criteria was lowered after a while, so today it's significantly easier to get to this brand.
You can find Polaroid-licensed products even in the iOS App Store, and this article will bring you a review of an application created to help you take digital Polaroid shots. We're about to review Polamatic, which can be downloaded from the App Store for only $1.
Even though it might look like this is just one more iOS photo editor, there are several unique things about Polamatic. In contrast to many photo editors, this application is dedicated to bringing you Polaroid-related effects which feel more authentic than those created by Instagram, to name one example. After you take your first picture using Polamatic, you'll get to see a virtual image being processed down the screen, imitating old-fashioned Polaroid camera. There's even a sound effect which follows this little show. Once you get to see your newly taken image, that's when you can start playing.
One of the basic operations that you can do with Polamatic-taken image is cropping, filtering, and framing. There's no complex editing and multiple filter combinations, simply because these things weren't available in the original Polaroid camera. When it comes to applying filters, all you need to do is tap on a filter and it'll be automatically applied. There are 36 filters to choose from, and most of them are nicely designed and able of truthfully representing original Polaroid flares and vintage looks. You can also add a frame around your photo, and there are 36 frames built-in. These frames also look nice, and you'll get to choose from new-looking ones up to some very old, used, and vintage-looking Polaroid frames.
Something that I really liked is ability to add text to a picture, the same way how people would add caption on the bottom edge of instant prints. Just like with other categories, you'll get to use 36 preloaded fonts and styles.
When it comes to sharing, you'll get to use services like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The good news is that you'll be able to re-edit images at any time, and export them at their highest possible resolution (up to 2282×2771 px).
If you're a fan of instant Polaroid prints, I am pretty sure you'll enjoy using Polamatic. This application is one of a few iOS apps able of reproducing authentic and original-looking Polaroid effects, which is certainly its biggest selling point. It's also priced at only $1, and since it is packed with a lot of preloaded content, this surely sounds like a great deal.
Finally, it's important to note that this review applies to Polamatic for iPhone. This one can't be used on iPad, and you'll need to purchase a separate version (priced at $2), which comes with in-app purchases and some differences.

Q: htaccess to redirect all files to index.php apart from a specific subdirectory I have a site in which all requests should go to index.php, apart from those in a specific subdirectory, which should go to subdirectory/index.php.
I would like the directory path to be translated to a query string for use in the subdirectory index page.
I really have very little idea about htaccess files and I'm sure this question has been answered a hundred times, but I can't work out what to search for to get an answer.
So - this is what I would like to happen under these conditions...

RULE 3
www.example.com/subdirectory/some_other_directory/ <goes to> /subdirectory/index.php?a=some_other_directory

This is what I have currently.  It doesn't work - At least, RULE 1 does work, RULE 2 works (though I think this is only because the physical /subdirectory exists and the index.php is served as a default.) RULE 3 doesn't work.

I have been unable to get a .htaccess file working in the subdirectory, so I'd like the rules all to be in the root .htaccess file.
I have cobbled this .htaccess together from other sites, so I do apologise for my level of ignorance, but I'm just not sure where to go...
Thank you in advance.
ADDITIONAL INFO>>>>>>>>
Other things I have tried.
This
RewriteRule ^/sub/([^/\.]+)/?$ /sub/index.php?a=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^/sub.*$ /sub/index.php
RewriteRule ^.*$ ./index.php

Stops all rules from working.
This:
RewriteRule ^.*$ ./index.php
RewriteRule ^/sub/([^/\.]+)/?$ /sub/index.php?a=$1 [L,NC]
RewriteRule ^/sub.*$ /sub/index.php

Seems to behave as the original example.

A: As you answered yourself the second rule is unecessary.
# Don't rewrite if file already exists to prevent rewriting images, scripts etc
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule .* - [L]

# Rewrite sub/anything to sub/index.php?a=anything
RewriteRule ^sub/([^/]+)$ sub/index.php?a=$1 [L,NC]

# Fallback all unknown requests to index.php
RewriteRule .* index.php [L,NC]

A note of warning: this approach will completely hide all natural 404 errors as you're rewriting non-existing files to index.php.

Cossyphodes asiricus sp. nov. is described from an isolated relict mountainous forest in the Asir Mts. in south-western Saudi Arabia. This myrmecophilous species was found in a debris chamber of a Pheidole ant nest. It differs from the Palaearctic and adjacent Ethiopian congeners mainly by the development and orientation of the pronotal and elytral keels. Paramellon sociale was collected on the eastern side of the Arabian Peninsula in the United Arab Emirates in a completely different, but not isolated, and distinctly drier habitat. Both species are photographed, the localities are mapped, and some notes on biology and ecology are given.
The hitherto monotypic subgenus Lasiocassis Gressitt, 1952 of the genus Cassida Linnaeus, 1758 is redefined and reviewed. Cassida vespertina Boheman, 1862 is redescribed and a new species, Cassida koreana, is described from South Korea. The subgenus is distributed in the eastern part of Palaearctic Region south to Taiwan.
Eight new species of the tribe Quasimusini Schimmel et Tarnawski, 2009 from China, Indonesia, and Himalaya (Bhutan and Sikkim) are described and illustrated.

Moreover, host range of the genus is reviewed and a key to world species of the genus Spatulaphorus is provided.


I love those points in your life where you just sit down, look around, and get thrilled about the fact that you never have to do something again!
Last Friday I had my final fundraiser for the charity I was doing event planning for! I will continue helping them as events come up, but I'm no longer responsible for planning every aspect of them! YAY!
This past fundraiser I was responsible for decorations. I was roped down to using 'gold' (which turned out to be bronze) tablecloths, so I needed to ensure that my table centerpieces weren't just a fixed pallet of autumn colors. Which was a bit of an upset at first because I have two huge boxes of fall decor in my basement specifically for this annual fundraiser. Anyway, I reasoned that I could still use the fall colors, but they needed to have a bold punch of white. What was big, white, and seasonal? Spray painted pumpkins of course!
Of course, between here and the church we were having the event at the pumpkins rolled into eachother and some paint chipped off.... soooo I had to spray some paint into a cup and brush it on thickly so the brushstrokes wouldn't show through.
Anyway, everyone loved the centerpieces, especially the men, which I thought was odd. I think it was just the novelty of painting something they never thought of before... Oh, and I had a few other pieces aroung the room too which I thought were quite cute.
But now, it is finally done. I've got a bunch of white pumpkins that I will decorate in a variety of ways come Halloween, I've thrown out every now-meaningless email about tablecloths, invites, schedules and meetings, and I'm resting in a job well done.
I am looking at a couple of baby-themed projects right now too. The other day I was going through some old baby clothes and found a badly stained long-sleeved onesie that I couldn't bear to part with. The graphic on the front was pretty cute, but the steely-grey and red striped sleeves were awesome. So I ripped the sleeves off, chucked the middle, and started plotting. Today, those sleeves were turned into little baby leggings! I had to reconstruct them a bit, but the general shape was there. The length was only enough to make newborn leggings, but I'm cool with that! And lastly, I went to Winners a couple of days ago where I found some packs of white organic cotton onesies - you know, the ones that you grab and can feel by the weight and the softness that these are things you want to wrap yourself in, let alone your child? Well, turns out, I have four baby showers coming up in the next two months. But I didn't want to give people just plain white onesies - so I'm going to make little animal cutouts from some scrap material and sew them on the fronts! I had a habit of buying any reasonably cute material in the clearance bin for a while there, so I've got a load of funky prints just waiting to be made into birds, octopi, fish or turtles! What fun!
Anyway, that's all for another day, a day which I'm sure I'll have time in, because I'm done event planning!

Q: Mysql index didnt work, query "where (x, y) in (" I have composite index for example INDEX name (x,y). Where x and y - integer. Why it don't work with the next query:
select * from t
where (x, y) in ((1, 1), (2, 2))

Result of Explain: using where, file sort

A: Depends what version of MySQL you use. Optimizing range comparisons for row constructors like the example you show was implemented in MySQL 5.7.
In MySQL 5.6 or earlier versions, this query would produce a result, but could not use an index to improve performance. It would do a table-scan.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/range-optimization.html#row-constructor-range-optimization

Re your comment confirming that you're using MySQL 5.6:
The workaround for MySQL 5.6 to make sure it uses the index:
select * from t where x=1 and y=1
union all
select * from t where x=2 and y=2

You'll need an additional union for each element in your IN() list.
This might be a good justification to upgrade to MySQL 5.7. For what it's worth, MySQL 5.7 has been GA since 2015-10-21 (27 months ago), and it has had 11 subsequent GA releases since then. It's pretty stable and reliable now.

A: You can try to change your query from where (x, y) in ((i1, j1), (i2, j2),(i3,j3),.... to where x in (i1,i2,i3....) and y in (j1,j2,j3,....) It often works  in mysql 5.6, and index uses. But the count of elements "i" must be the same as "j".  It will get the same result as x=i1 and y=j1 union all , but not for all queries. And i1,j1,i2,j2,i3,j3...  must be ordered. Try this.

Akara oder Accara sind frittierte Bällchen aus Schwarzaugenbohnen, die in vielen Gegenden Westafrikas als Imbiss angeboten werden.

Zubereitung
Die Schwarzaugenbohnen werden püriert und mit Zwiebeln, Salz und Pfeffer vermischt. Aus der Masse werden kleine Bällchen geformt, die man in Kokos- oder Pflanzenöl brät. Normalerweise werden Akara mit einer scharfen Tomaten-Zwiebel-Sauce namens Kaani serviert. Manchmal werden sie in einem Baguette als Sandwich serviert, vor allem im Senegal.

Nach ihrem Vorbild werden in Nordostbrasilien Acarajé zubereitet. Auch in der Karibik gibt es eine Variante.

your present prescription. I keep mine in the health file in my own filing cabinet. If you cannot find your prescription, visit wherever you earlier had your sight examined and demand a copy. Your optician, optometrist, or ophthalmologist is necessary by law release a your eyewear prescription to you. You now need to make note of a few critical pieces of information from your prescription (see example above–click to enlarge). Among other information, you should see three columns on your prescription–sphere, cylinder, and axis.
A slightly less critical amount is your temple size. If you're blessed, you'll also see a temple span and bridge size in your prescription. If not, don't sweating it, you can amount it out yourself. The temple length describes the distance of the two bars that hook up the eyeglasses to your ears. It is measured from where the 90-degree curve from your zoom lens structure to the side bars (temples) starts to the very end of the temple, including the curve. It is not assessed from the flex point of the temples, because the "stub" between the flex point and lens structure is not really a standard size.
Now, take out some measuring tape (ideally the kind of tape used for fitting clothes and sewing, as it is very flexible) and measure an existing couple of eyeglasses that fit pleasantly. An average temple length for men is 135mm or 145mm. For women, 130mm to 140mm is standard. If your tape only has inches, measure to the nearest eighth or sixteenth and multiply that number by 25.4 to find the measurement in millimeters. Temple measures are usually available in 5mm increments, such as 130, 135, 140, 145, etc. At most online eye glasses stores, temple span is shown in just a frame description and it is not customizable. Therefore, you need to discover a frame with a proper temple size. This sometimes varies if you are in a site specializing in designer glasses, where you have the option to type your own temple size.
Truthfully, temple size is not really a huge deal. I've one couple of glasses with 135mm temples and another with 140mm temples. Both pairs fit comfortably. If for reasons uknown you can't think of a temple measurement, don't let that stop you from making an eyewear purchase online. Instead, simply choose 140mm temples if you are a guy and 135mm temples if you are a woman. It's likely that, this span will fit comfortably.

Is Luke Evans Dating Jon Kortajarena Again?
Updated Jan 29, 2018 at 4:11pm
According to WhosDatedWho, Luke Evans has been dating his boyfriend, Jon Kortajarena, since 2014, but Just Jared reported that the couple dated a few years back, but called it quits at some point. On the other hand, Just Jared also has reported that they may be back together. In Spring 2017, Kortajarena posted, and then deleted, some photos on Instagram from his recent trip to Budapest, where Evans has been filming. Evans also posted a photo from his birthday and gave a shout out to a mystery person, writing, "What an amazing bunch of people. Thank you for an amazing birthday. Just missing one special someone … you know who you are." Perhaps he was talking about Kortajarena. Earn the Necklace reported that Evans later revised the caption on his birthday photo, simply writing, "What an amazing bunch of people." See a photo of Kortajarena below.

A post shared by Jon Kortajarena (@kortajarenajon) on Jan 17, 2018 at 8:22am PST
Throughout his career, Evans has been openly gay, explaining to TIME in 2002 that, "Everybody knew me as a gay man, and in my life in London I never tried to hide it … I don't think I'd be in this business if I felt that I was not being employed because of who I am in my personal life. I don't know how 'Hollywood', as you call it, thinks … I don't feel they're connected. Talent, success, what you do in your personal life – I don't see how one should have an effect on the other. If I'm going to be a poor man at 60, then at least I've lived a happy, open, gay life and not had to hide it from anybody."
Though Evans has been transparent about his sexuality, he also previously told The Jackal that he likes to keep his personal life private. He explained, "I try to keep my personal life and my private life separate. "Not for any reason other than there's a clue in the title—it's private. As an actor you have to keep some sort of enigma and mystery. There's a dignity to keeping private. I'm trying to keep a bit of dignity to my private life and to protect the people in my life … It's the choice I've made."
As for Jon Kortajarena, he also works in entertainment. According to Out, Kortajarena is a Spanish model and actor, known for A Single Man and Quantico. In the past, Evans has also been linked to a woman named Holly Goodchild.
Good morning world!! Hi Ellen!!! ?

In 2016, Evans told Mr. Porter that he was single, according to Bustle. Evans said that he was using his single status for, "finding contentment with myself, and not relying on anybody else to validate it … I think being an only child has hindered that slightly because I've always wanted to be around other people." He also, again, stressed the importance of keeping his personal life out of the spotlight.
Currently, Evans stars on the period drama The Alienist, which also stars Dakota Fanning as the first female member of the New York Police Department. On the show, Evans' character is an illustrator, who often enjoys the company of prostitutes. New episodes of the show air Monday nights on TNT at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Pilgrim's Pride Pays $4.5M To End Probe
U.S. Attorney's Office says it won't prosecute Pilgrim's Pride for immigration violations after the chicken producer agreed to pay Treasury Department $4.5 million.
Anabelle Garay, Associated Press Writer
DALLAS, Texas (AP) -- The U.S. Attorney's Office says it will not prosecute Pilgrim's Pride Corp. for immigration violations and has dropped an investigation into workers at the chicken producer's plants.
It says the Pittsburg, Texas-based company has in turn agreed to pay the Department of the Treasury $4.5 million and improve processes to screen prospective employees to ensure they are allowed to work in the United States.
In a Wednesday statement, the Attorney's Office says it has closed all immigration investigations into the company and its current or former employees.
In 2008, federal agents arrested 338 Pilgrim's Pride workers, of whom 38 were convicted of misuse of a Social Security number. Some were deported or faced other immigration proceedings.
The arrests were followed with raids of Pilgrim's Pride plants elsewhere, including Tennessee. The U.S. Attorney's Office said Wednesday that all immigration-related investigations into the company and its current and former employees have been closed.

Last Update December 24, 2015
U.S., Israeli Officials Slam Latin American Countries for Recognizing 'Palestine'
By | Fox News

Israeli and U.S. officials slammed three Latin American countries this week for moving to recognize a Palestinian state saying they effectively granted the Palestinians a huge concession and undermined the already-sputtering peace process.
Argentina joined Brazil this week in recognizing "Palestine" as an independent state within the borders predating Israel's victory in the 1967 war -- and Uruguay announced its intent to follow suit next year. Palestinian officials hailed the decision, adding the endorsements to the list of mostly Muslim and former Soviet bloc countries that have done the same.
But the move could signal a growing Latin American relationship with Israel's arch-enemy, Iran, and officials condemned the proclamations as counterproductive.
"It is incomprehensible that these nations who seek to be viewed as responsible stakeholders in world affairs would take a unilateral action like this which undermines the prospects for true, lasting peace in the Middle East," Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said in a written statement.
She said those nations gave the Palestinian Authority the "biggest concession" without demanding they renounce violence and recognize Israel's right to exist. She urged other nations to refrain from joining them.
"Their unilateral, unconditional recognition of Palestinian claims will only serve to embolden others worldwide who use violence to advance their agendas," Ros-Lehtinen said.
While the Latin American nations may have offered the Palestinians a concession, at the same time the Obama administration was backing off its attempt to demand one of the Israelis. Officials said this week that President Obama has given up on persuading Israel to slow West Bank settlement activity. Officials said the administration is still trying to broker a peace deal and expects negotiators from both sides to visit Washington next week.
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley reiterated that "direct negotiations" remain the focus of the administration.
Asked about the actions of Argentina and Brazil, he said: "We do not favor that course of action. As we've said many times ... any unilateral action, we believe, is counterproductive."
It may come as no surprise that Brazil jumped the gun on the peace talks. Brazil was a leading critic of Israel during the Gaza flotilla incident and has made no secret of its affinity toward Iran, going so far as to propose a nuclear fuel swap deal alongside Turkey earlier this year in defiance of other international negotiators.
Trade between Iran and Latin American heavyweights like Brazil and Argentina has also expanded. Though Argentina has been critical of Iran's nuclear program, Iran has floated the possibility of buying nuclear fuel from Argentina -- the source of its nuclear fuel nearly two decades ago.
Explaining this week's announcement, Argentina's foreign minister Hector Timerman said that in light of the stalled peace talks, "the time has come to recognize Palestine as a free and independent state."
The Israelis suggested it only hurt the peace talks. Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor called the decision "disappointing and damaging."
Trump impeachment trial could hurt this 2020 Dem's chances the most, reporter says
Rep. Pramila Jayapal endorses Bernie Sanders for president


Washington, D.C. May 25, 2018:"The news that today President Trump has, again, changed his mind and is in favor of a meeting with North Korea is proof that President Trump is not behaving in a rational manner.
At first, he threatened North Korea with military action because of their testing of long range missiles.
Then he announced that he was willing to meet with the leader of that country to establish normal relations.
Then, for no reason, he claimed North Korea was nasty to him and dropped is participation in the scheduled meeting.
Now today, he has again changed his mind and announced he again wants the meeting.
This waffling has so concerned other world leaders that they are beginning to abandon any cooperation with the United States.
"It was a very nice statement they put out," Trump said as he left the White House to deliver a commencement address at the U.S. Naval Academy. "We'll see what happens – it could even be the 12th.
After decades of tension on the Korean peninsula and antagonism with the United States over its nuclear weapons program, Kim and Trump agreed to meet in what would be the first meeting between a serving U.S. president and a North Korean leader. The plan followed months of war threats and insults from both leaders.
Trump scrapped the meeting on Thursday after repeated threats by North Korea to pull out of the summit in Singapore over what it saw as confrontational remarks by U.S. officials. Trump cited North Korean hostility in canceling the summit.
In Pyongyang, North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan said North Korea's recent criticisms of certain U.S. officials had been a reaction to unbridled American rhetoric and that the current antagonism showed "the urgent necessity" for the summit.
North Korea had sharply criticized suggestions by Trump's national security adviser, John Bolton, and Vice President Mike Pence that it could share the fate of Libya if it did not swiftly surrender its nuclear arsenal. Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was deposed and killed by NATO-backed militants after halting his nascent nuclear program.
(CNN) — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's speech this week on next steps in US policy toward Iran read more like a call to war than a carefully crafted foreign policy stance. So much so that the obvious next question is what it might cost if the Trump administration seeks to provoke regime change in Iran.
That's tough to answer, since it depends entirely on how the Trump administration chooses to go about it, if it indeed chooses to go down that disastrous road. Pompeo's threat to bring Iran to its knees with punishing economic sanctions clearly won't get the job done, especially since the Trump administration has just alienated its most important potential partners by withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal. Good luck getting France, or the United Kingdom, or Germany, much less Russia or China, to join in a campaign of maximum economic pressure on Tehran after the Trump administration has walked away from a painstakingly negotiated multilateral deal that was working to achieve its only stated objective — stopping Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
Next-level steps could include supporting anti-regime groups like the Mujahadeen-e-Khalq (MEK), which was for many years on the US list of terrorist organizations. But its ability to win over influential supporters like John Bolton does not mean that the MEK has either the capacity or the support to overthrow the Iranian government. To think that an organization that the New York Times has rightly described as a "fringe dissident group" could overthrow the government of Iran is a fantasy.
Non-violent, internal opponents of the Iranian regime would most likely be hurt more than helped by overt US support. And the last time the US launched a coup in Iran — installing the Shah of Iran in place of the democratically-elected government of Mohammed Mossadeq in 1953 — the results were counterproductive, to put it mildly. Twenty-five years of dictatorship followed by the rise of an Islamic fundamentalist regime can hardly be called a foreign policy success.
After sanctions failed to displace Hussein's government, many proponents of regime change in Iraq placed their faith in Ahmed Chalabi and the Iraqi National Congress (INC), an exile group whose main achievement was to supply misleading intelligence about Iraq's nuclear program. When backing Chalabi and the INC failed to undermine Saddam Hussein's regime, the neoconservatives who populated the top ranks of the Bush administration pressed for an invasion.
Bush administration officials assured the American public that a war with Iraq would be cheap and easy, a "cake walk" that could cost as little as $50 to $60 billion. So far, as the Costs of War Project at Brown University has calculated, the post-9/11 wars pushed by George W. Bush and his advisors have cost $5.6 trillion, and counting — more than 100 times the Bush administration's initial claims. More importantly, the wars have cost hundreds of thousands of lives on all sides, including an estimated 200,000 civilians. Is that the kind of regime change the Trump administration has in mind for Iran?
Bearing the Iraq example in mind, what would the different options for pursuing regime change in Iran cost?
The Trump administration's ditching of the Iran nuclear deal has already cost Boeing a major airline sale to Iran worth $20 billion. The negative consequences of ratcheted up sanctions could cost the US economy billions more by causing a hike in global oil prices, higher prices at the gas pump and a possible reduction in domestic tourism and travel.
Funding internal opponents of the regime could cost an exorbitant amount over a multi-year period. And if unsuccessfully attempting to train 500 "moderate" Syrian fighters cost over $500 million, training a force to attack Iran could run to several billion or more. Lobbing dozens of cruise missiles at Iran to "send a message," as Trump has done twice in Syria, could cost a few hundred million dollars.
A bombing campaign similar to the one waged against ISIS in Iraq and Syria would cost about $8.3 million a day, or about $3 billion per year. A major bombing campaign like the one inflicted on Iraq in the 1990s would run into the tens of billions. And, judging from the experience in Iraq, a full-fledged invasion could cost trillions, not to mention creating a level of chaos in the region that would make current conflicts worse even as new ones are sparked.
The underlying question, of course, is whether the Trump administration should seek to overthrow the Iranian government in the first place. From a security perspective, the answer should be a resounding no. If the administration is nonetheless determined to pursue such an option, the American public should at least be given a sense of what it might cost in both blood and treasure. But don't hold your breath waiting for John Bolton, Mike Pompeo or anybody else in the Trump administration to give you a straight answer.
Instead, the two leaders focused on concerns about the future of a multinational deal on Iran's nuclear deal program, now in jeopardy after Trump pulled the United States out of it.
Washington's withdrawal from the pact raises the prospect that Russian or French companies doing business with Iran could be hit with unilateral U.S. sanctions.
Speaking at a question-and-answer session in front of an audience of business executives and Russian officials, Putin said the U.S. withdrawal was damaging and counter-productive.
He also railed against the United States applying its laws beyond its borders to punish foreign companies. "This is unacceptable and it has to end," he said.
Macron, who had traveled to Washington in an unsuccessful bid to persuade Trump to keep faith with the Iran deal, did not explicitly criticize the U.S. leader.
He said he had a strong relationship with Trump, but he acknowledged there are "issues on which we have differences".
He said he would try to convince Trump to return to talks about Iran's nuclear program, and was also critical of Trump's decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, out of step with the stance of most European governments.
"That was not desirable," Macron said, adding that the embassy move played a part in sparking fatal clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli security forces.
Macron said that Trump had, de facto, lost an international argument over the Paris climate change agreement because the international consensus in support of the accord had held, even though Trump had decided to exit the deal.
Trump's administration last month imposed sanctions on a raft of major Russian companies. The step also hurt European and other international firms who had to cut off business ties with the sanctioned entities for fear of punitive action by Washington.
As he sat alongside Putin, Macron referred repeatedly to the need to establish "European financial sovereignty" – a jab at European economies' reliance on the U.S. financial system.
He also arrived in St Petersburg with a large delegation of French business executives keen to sign deals with Russia, despite the new U.S. sanctions.
Putin accused the United States of undermining global trade rules by using sanctions as a weapon in its drive towards protectionism.
The Russian leader pointed to the presence of large numbers of foreign executives at the event as evidence that the U.S. sanctions were failing to achieve their aim.
Babi Yar is the name of a ravine situated just outside the city of Kiev, capital of the Ukraine. At the time that the events depicted below took place, Kiev was part of the USSR. In the early hours of June 22, 1941, the armed forces of the Third Reich streamed across its eastern border with the USSR, initiating a military conflagration codenamed Operation Barbarossa, a conflict that in terms of the numbers of fatalities, wounded, barbarities committed, human suffering, both military and civilian, and the scale and scope of its international implications, most probably has no equal in human history. Kiev fell to the German forces on September 19. Prior to evacuating the city the Soviet security services had left explosives in a number of buildings set to detonate between September 24 and 28. The buildings in which they had been placed were commandeered by the military administration and substantial casualties were sustained.
Very often numbers of Communist party officials and the dreaded Commissars were executed by the SD units when they were captured. As there were a significant number of Jews in these organs, it has been impossible to differentiate between the makeup of the totals. The reports of executions were, in a number of cases, marked: Execution of Communist officials and Jews.
The number of the report and the date will be noted with each excerpt. The Einsatzgruppen reported on their activities to their respective headquarters which sent the information to Berlin. There the RSHA compiled concise reports in the name of the Chief of Sipo and the SD. Copies were distributed to high- ranking army, police and SS officers, diplomats, members of the foreign office an even to industrialists as they related to economic factors in the Soviet territories. The Einsatzgruppen Reports were discovered by the U.S.Army in Gestapo headquarters in Berlin after the war. They were initially impounded by a research analyst attached to the Berlin branch of the Office of the Chief of Council for War Crimes. They were sealed and transported in the custody of the US Army to Nuremberg. During the first days of the Einsatzgruppen Trial, the authenticity of the reports was established beyond doubt and none of the German defendants challenged their validity.
In agreement with the city military command, all the Jews of Kiev were ordered to appear at a certain place on Monday, 29 September, by 6 o'clock. This order was publicized by posters all over the town by members of the newly organized Ukrainian militia. At the same time, oral information was passed that all the Jews of Kiev would be moved to another place. In cooperation with the HQ of the Einsatzgruppen and two Kommandos of Police Regiment South, Sonderkommando 4a executed 33,771 Jews on September 29 and 30.
LONDON (Reuters) – Major U.S.-media outlets including the LA Times and Chicago Tribune were forced to shutter their websites in parts of Europe on Friday following the roll out of stringent new privacy regulations by the European Union.
The US tech giant has said a series of miscues picked up by its voice-activated Echo speakers prompted the device to record a US couple's private conversation and then send it to an acquaintance without their knowledge.
Amazon confirmed the mishap in a statement on Thursday, saying an "unlikely" string of events prompted its Echo personal assistant device to record the family's private conversation and then send it out.
On Wednesday, a woman in Portland, Oregon, told KIRO-TV that two weeks ago an employee of her husband had contacted them to say he thought their device had been hacked. He told them he had received an audio file of them discussing hardwood floors, she said.
The Portland couple used Amazon's voice-activated devices throughout their home to control heat, lights and security. The family unplugged the devices and contacted Amazon after they had learned the recording had been sent.
In its statement, the US tech giant said the conversation had been inadvertently recorded and sent because the Echo device interpreted a word in the background conversation as "Alexa" — a command that triggers recording.
The speaker later heard "send message" during the conversation, at which point the device asked, "to whom?" The pair continued talking in the background and the Echo system interpreted part of the chat to identify a name in the couple's contact list. Alexa then asked aloud if they wanted to send a message to that contact and heard "right" in more background conversation.
The report invigorated privacy concerns as online devices like the Amazon Echo become omnipresent in homes. Amazon in 2014 introduced the new line of devices, which can also stream music and order goods from Amazon via voice command.
Ryan Calo, an associate law professor at the University of Washington, said the incident was alarming since a private conversation had been recorded and sent to a third party.
According to market research group eMarketer, more than 60 million US consumers will use a smart speaker at least once a month this year, with more than 40 million of them using Amazon's devices.
The incident highlights the risk that inadvertent software bugs or intentional hacks can invade privacy as devices with sensors become more commonplace. Last year, a glitch was discovered in some Google Home Mini speakers that allowed the devices to constantly record, even if they had not been activated.
Some manufacturers are responding to consumers' privacy concerns by building devices that have physical switches to turn off sensors such as cameras and microphones.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The FBI warned on Friday that foreign cyber criminals had compromised "hundreds of thousands" of home and small office router devices around the world which direct traffic on the internet by forwarding data packets between computer networks.
In a public service announcement, the FBI it has discovered that the foreign cyber criminals used a VPNFilter malware that can collect peoples' information, exploit their devices and also block network traffic.
It's been nearly two weeks since a group of European researchers published a paper describing "EFAIL," a set of critical software vulnerabilities that allow encrypted email messages to be stolen from within the inbox. And developers of email clients and encryption plugins are still scrambling to come up with a permanent fix.
Similarly, the creator of PGP, Phil Zimmermann, co-signed a blog post Thursday stating that EFAIL was "easy to mitigate" by disabling the loading of remote content in GPGTools.
But even if you follow this advice and disable remote content, Apple Mail and GPGTools are still vulnerable to EFAIL. I developed a proof-of-concept exploit that works against Apple Mail and GPGTools even when remote content loading is disabled (German security researcher Hanno Böck also deserves much of the credit for this exploit, more on that below). I have reported the vulnerability to the GPGTools developers, and they are actively working on an update that they plan on releasing soon.
If you're an Apple Mail user who relies on PGP-encrypted email, and completely disabling PGP for the time-being, like the Electronic Frontier Foundation recommends, isn't an option for you, then your best course of action is to temporarily stop using Apple Mail and switch to Thunderbird, at least until GPGTools releases an update that fixes this issue.
Unfortunately, Apple Mail does not have an option to disable viewing HTML emails.
In a nutshell, the EFAIL attack works like this: First, the attacker needs a copy of a message that's encrypted to your public key. They could get this by hacking your email account, hacking your email server, compelling your email provider to hand it over with a subpoena or National Security Letter, intercepting it while spying on the internet, or other ways. PGP was specifically designed to protect against this — the promise of PGP is that even attackers with copies of your encrypted messages can't decrypt them, only you can. When you receive an email that's encrypted to your public key, your email client automatically uses your secret key to decrypt it so that you can read it. The EFAIL researchers discovered that they could craft a special email that secretly includes a stolen encrypted message within it, and then send it to you. When you receive the malicious email, your email client uses your secret key to automatically decrypt the pilfered message within the malicious email, and then sends a decrypted copy of the stolen message back to the attacker, for example through a web request to load an image into the email.
On May 14, the research team behind EFAIL published its paper. At that point, both Thunderbird with Enigmail and Apple Mail with GPGTools were vulnerable for users who were using the default settings.
On May 16, Enigmail released an update that mitigated the EFAIL vulnerability — only it turns out, this mitigation didn't work either. The following day, Böck, the German security researcher, tweeted that he found a "trivial bypass" in Enigmail's new version, and he disclosed his bypass to the Enigmail developers so they could fix it.
Later, I became curious if Böck's technique to bypass Enigmail's initial EFAIL fix would work against Apple Mail and GPGTools even with the suggested mitigations. After Enigmail released a patch, he agreed to privately share his technique with me.
Hopefully GPGTools will release an update soon that fixes this issue. But because the details of the EFAIL vulnerabilities have been public for weeks, and because this and related exploits are relatively simple, and it's likely that others have already discovered them, we decided that it's in the public interest to warn Apple Mail PGP users sooner rather than later that there is currently no available mitigation to EFAIL. This is especially true when some security experts are falsely claiming that disabling remote content in Apple Mail will mitigate the problem, such as in the statement co-signed by Zimmermann, which was also co-signed by the founders of Enigmail, the encrypted email service ProtonMail, and Mailvelope, a browser add-on for encrypted webmail.
One difference between this EFAIL variant and the proof-of-concept that the researchers published in their paper is that the user needs to click something to get exploited. "I think a lot of non-expert users do things like click on links they receive from trusted senders," said Matthew Green, a cryptography professor at Johns Hopkins University. "They should feel comfortable and safe doing that, and they shouldn't have to worry about losing their data to an attacker." He expects that people could find more EFAIL exploits in email clients.
Before I go into more details about EFAIL and how it affects the PGP ecosystem, I want to take a moment to discuss S/MIME, a different encrypted email standard that is far more vulnerable to attacks described in the EFAIL paper than PGP is, and that also presents more obstacles to mitigation.
Unlike PGP, which is decentralized and uses a model called "web of trust" where users deal with key management and identity verification themselves, making PGP notoriously confusing, S/MIME uses "certificate authorities," where an organization (like your employer) centrally manages identity verification for its users, making S/MIME ideal for deploying encrypted email to large organizations.
S/MIME is widely deployed in banks, major corporations, and government agencies around the world, including the U.S. Department of Defense. It's built-in to all major email clients, including Outlook and the default email apps on macOS, iOS, and Android, without requiring a plugin. At the time of writing, as far as I can tell, no email clients have released an update that mitigates EFAIL for S/MIME, leaving all S/MIME users currently vulnerable to these attacks.
The reason I'm focusing primarily on PGP instead of S/MIME is because it's what I and the communities I work with having been using for years.
Why Didn't GPGTools and Enigmail Fix EFAIL Vulnerabilities Months Ago?
EFAIL has demonstrated how bad the encrypted email ecosystem is at responding to vulnerabilities in a timely matter. According to this timeline compiled by security researcher Thomas Ptacek, Enigmail was first notified about the EFAIL research in November 2017 and GPGTools was first notified in February 2018. Yet by May 14, when the researchers published their paper, both of these projects were still vulnerable.
Compare this to recent pair of vulnerabilities found in Signal Desktop earlier this month: Researchers discovered a remote code execution — hackerspeak for "very bad" — vulnerability in Signal Desktop on May 10 and they disclosed it to the developers on May 11. Later that same day, the Signal developers fixed the problem and released an update. But their fix wasn't complete; on May 14 researchers discovered a second way of exploiting the vulnerability. An hour later they disclosed it to the developers, and less than two hours after that, a new Signal Desktop update was released which finally solved the problem. Signal Desktop automatically updates itself, so nearly all users should have gotten the updates the day they were released.
Despite having several months of lead time, the Enigmail and GPGTools projects failed to fix the EFAIL vulnerabilities before the paper was made public. In all likelihood, the majority of PGP users are probably still vulnerable, two weeks later.
But to be fair, the Enigmail and GPGTools developers have a much harder job than the Signal developers. On one side, they must work with an ancient crypto system; PGP dates to 1991, it was standardized as OpenPGP in 1995, and the popular PGP/MIME system was first standardized in 1996. On the other side they must deal with the ancient messaging systems out of which email is constructed and on which it travels, including the message sending protocol SMTP, first standardized in 1982, and MIME, a standard for attachments that emerged in 1992. They also need to ensure that their software works seamlessly with all other PGP software, in all its diversity. These standards all contain a multitude of obsolete, and often insecure, features in order to maintain backwards compatibility.
If Signal developers had to deal with decades of technical baggage and handle dozens of possible message formats instead of just one it would take them more than a few hours to fix similar vulnerabilities too.
Based on all of this, the "temporary, conservative stopgap" that EFF suggests — uninstall or disable PGP, and switch to secure messaging apps like Signal or Wire until the encrypted email ecosystem solves the EFAIL problems — sounds like pretty solid advice.
But unfortunately, for many of us it's not that simple.
Several communities of users have grown dependent on encrypted email to get their daily work done, including civil society communities like human rights and internet freedom activists, hacker and open source developer communities like the Debian project, and increasingly, journalists and researchers who collaborate and work with sensitive sources.
Secure messaging apps are not a substitute for email, and they never will be. You can keep old archives of emails, and you can search these archives years later when you need to look something up. With email, you can participate in mailing lists, have threaded conversations, forward messages around, and leave things marked as unread until you have time to deal with them. After you publish a blog post, article, or academic paper, people can email you feedback, but you might not have time to reply right away, and you definitely don't want this feedback making your phone buzz at 3am.
For many of us, maintaining our same email habits but sending them in plaintext is simply not a viable option. Asking us to temporarily stop using PGP for a while is the same as asking us to stop using email — it's just not practical without completely changing how we've been working for years.
And while the fact that email and PGP are based on open standards makes it more difficult to maintain and fix security vulnerabilities, it also adds an enormous benefit: Email servers inter-operate with each other. You can send an encrypted email to my theintercept.com address from your gmail.com address and I'll be able to read it, but you'll never be able to send a message to my Wire account from your Signal account. Because email is an open, federated system that has been around for as long as the internet, everyone has an email address, but only some people use Signal, and others use Wire, WhatsApp, or Telegram, and some are only reachable on Facebook. None of these systems work with each other.
In my imagination there exists a brand new email-like system: It uses modern cryptography like Signal does; it only supports a single, sane messaging format instead of endless permutations; and it has all the other qualities that email has, like the ability to maintain and organize an archive of old messages, and different servers that can communicate with each other. It doesn't have decades of cruft to maintain and, importantly, it's impossible to use it insecurely. But since this email-like system only exists in my imagination, and not in reality, we're stuck with PGP for the moment.
If you're one of these PGP-dependent people like me, then make sure you pay close attention to the EFAIL developments, always keep your software up-to-date, and if at all possible, disable viewing HTML emails. If you're not one of these people, then by all means, just use Signal or similar messaging apps when you need to communicate securely.
But it's also possible that I'm just biased. I would have an entirely different life right now if it weren't for PGP.
On January 11, 2013, I received a PGP-encrypted email from an anonymous stranger. "I'm a friend," the email read, once I decrypted it. "I need to get information securely to Laura Poitras and her alone, but I can't find an email/gpg key for her. Can you help?" I didn't know at the time, but this stranger was Edward Snowden, and he was in the early stages of blowing the whistle on the National Security Agency.


The nectarine is basically a peach without fuzz. Nectarine seeds can actually grow into trees that bear either nectarines or peaches. It is not possible to tell which fruit will grow from a nectarine seed. Due to this characteristic, nectarine branches are often grafted onto peach trees. It is the only guarantee that the tree will produce nectarines.
One medium nectarine contains approximately 67 calories, and is a sufficient source of vitamins A and C.
When you purchase nectarines in our market, you pick out the ones that are soft and ready to eat. However, when you pick nectarines from the tree they will still be firm. This way they will not bruise easily. Paying close attention to the color of a nectarine will help you to pick the best ones in the orchard. A common mistake that people make is, judging ripeness by the amount of red coloring. There are many varieties of nectarines, many of which have different red coloring. Instead of looking at the red, look at the background color. If the background color is yellow rather than green, you have a ripe nectarine.
Once ripened, a nectarine is softer than most fruit, so remember to pick a nectarine gently. Using your fingertips rather than the length of your fingers, will increase the chances of bruised fruit. Place the nectarines gently into your baskets. It isn't wise to use really deep buckets, because too much pressure will be applied to the nectarines on the bottom, causing them to bruise.

General HospitalSpoilers
By Joanna Mazewski	 On Jul 2, 2019
General Hospital spoilers indicate that fans will soon see Vernonica Cartwright on the canvas soon, however, no one knows what she will be doing or what role she will be playing for that matter! As a matter of fact, General Hospital producers have kept so quiet about her role that even the actress herself has no clue what's in store for her!
According to ABC Soaps in Depth, Veronica has been tapped to play a five-episode arc that will air in July. And while we do know that her character will cross paths with Ava Jerome (Maura West) we have no idea if she should be rooting for her or if we want her gone. Either way, we have a feeling that there are plenty of twists and turns ahead.
General Hospital Spoilers – Veronica Cartwright Joins GH
With that said, many fans will recognize Veronica from her role in the cult classic hit Alien. She's also been nominated for a Primetime Emmy several times in the past for her roles in The X-Files and in the 1990s television series ER. Most recently, she's also starred in Bosch, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Supernatural. Clearly, she's someone who has a lot of projects on her plate these days!

The legendary actress told Comingsoon.net in an interview back in 2017 that she's been working nonstop ever since she was a child. But it's not like she's complaining. Veronica loves working in the industry and is grateful for all of the opportunities that come her way. Of course, she admits that it wasn't always this way.
Who Will Veronica Cartwright Play On General Hospital?
She told the site, "There was a period of time when I couldn't seem to get anything. I was on the series Daniel Boone and then, when that ended, I was still under 18 so I was too young to be in the older category and too old to be a child. So there was a few years there that were dry. So I went and studied acting with Jack Garfine and did that for three years and then decided to move to England, because as you know, I am British born, and that's where I got the movie Inserts and that started everything all over again."

The show can't go on: Ending animal cruelty
By Efrosini Costa	| November 27, 2014
An international animal charity is calling on tourists to think twice before they take part in wild animal experiences whilst on holidays.
Planning your next holiday?
Looking forward to those elephant rides, walking with lions or swimming with dolphins?
While wild animal attractions are part-and-parcel of most holidays, World Animal Protection warns, such activities help to facilitate animal cruelty.
The international organisation has launched a campaign to expose the hidden suffering behind these tourist attractions.
"What we need to do is alert people to the wildlife suffering in this industry. We don't want that once in a lifetime experience to be a lifetime of misery for the animal," Mike Baker, chief executive of World Animal Protection said.
Snatching them from their parents in the wild, breeding them in captivity; keeping them in inadequate conditions and beating them to break their wills – animal attractions can involve cruelty at every turn.
"Global research shows nearly half of all people who pay for a wild animal experience do so because they love animals. But we know that if these people were aware of the abuse that took place behind the scenes, they wouldn't dream of taking part."
That's why the organization is urging tourist to be mindful before they book their holiday activities and tours.
"If an animal is doing something it wouldn't do in the wild then it's probably not right and something has gone on to make them behave that way," says Baker.

Q: Invalidate ASP.NET Identity Authentication Token upon Signout I've observed a behavior of ASP.NET Identity when a user signs out. Upon calling SignOutAsync from Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.SignInManager, it clears the value of the cookie from the user's browser. But still if I put the token value back as it was before by editing the browser cookie, user gets logged in again.
Is there a way to invalidate the Tokens permanently so they can't be re-used after signing out?
