Compromise: Keep the Electoral College and get rid of winner take all in awarding electoral votes.
Thread starter Spamature
Spamature
Award electoral votes in proportion to how each voter in that state votes. This still allows voters in smaller states to protect their interest, and it makes every state something the candidate needs to fight for and allows each state to have it issues heard.
This way the conservative votes in blues states and the liberal votes in red states will now count.
Reactions: The Sage of Main Street and Drumcollie
No. Why compromise on this when you stand virtually no chance of ending the electoral college?
Reactions: Joe in Tulsa, Bronwyn and Colorforms
Angus Young said:
I am not trying to end the EC. I have give reasons for ending winner take all awarding of EC votes. It what way does that sound disagreeable ? Why should conservative voters in non-conservative states have their votes in regard to the EC be hijacked by liberals ?
Spamature said:
But why do we need to compromise? Who are you to tell states how to award their electors?
Reactions: Joe in Tulsa, middleview and Colorforms
Because we just went through an election and insurrection that could have been prevented by such a plan. We will have eliminated the all swing states. Any kind of conspiracy your side claimed went on would have meant nothing had both Biden and Trump gotten their share of the EC votes in the states Trump contested.
All of the swing states would have been a wash, split 50/50, because of how close they were.
I am me and I get to tell anybody I want, anything I want them to do. Who are you to challenge my right to do so ?
Reactions: Joe in Tulsa and Angus Young
Sounds like a better option but it doesn't address the most objectionable aspect of the Electoral College ... the built-in advantage for small states relative to their power in the popular vote.

It does if either candidate can pull EC votes from every state, large or small. The only problem is if no one can get to 270 because of a 3rd party candidates taking votes from both. But that can be remedied by having to exceed a threshold in the vote in order to win any EC votes.

Mostly Liberal
It is an interesting concept. But here are my concerns.
What do yo you do with 2020 Georgia for example: There are 16 electoral votes; Biden got 49.5% and Trump got 49.3%. Jo Jorgensen of the libertarian party got 1.2%. Does she get an electoral vote? Also...in Washington State in 2016, Clinton got 54.4% of the popular vote, Trump got 38.2, Gary Johnson got 4.9%, Jill Stein got 1.7%.
If your goal is to give enfranchisement to the people...unless Johnson and Stein and Jorgensen are getting electoral votes...you're not doing it. Essentially my question is this: At what percentage threshold does someone get an electoral vote? And, more importantly, at what electoral threshold are you comfortable with one of the major party candidates getting a electoral vote that should have went to a third party?
Second concern: When you have 10 electoral votes and one candidate gets 60% of the popular vote and the other candidate gets 40%, that is easy; 6 electoral votes for one, and 4 electoral votes for the other. What happens if you have 11 electoral votes and they break 60/40? How do you divide up the 11th electoral college vote? Are we going to get into awarding half votes or quarter votes?
One thing I do like about your plan is that candidates just can't write off the states they won't win. Trump got more votes in California in 2020 than he did in many states that he won...over 6 million votes. The issue though is that when you say the small states keep their clout...do they? In California in 2020, Biden got 63.5% of the vote, Trump got 34.3%. Jorgensen got 1.1%. So, if I understand your plan, the 55 electoral votes would be awarded as follows: Biden would get 35 electoral votes and Trump would get 20 (I presume that you would say Jorgensen gets zilch). That 20 votes is more than Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Oklahoma combined. So whatever clout those states had..it's gone.
The vote totals are also questionable for small states vs. big states: Biden got 11M votes. Trump got 6M. So their total is 17M. As it stands (from above), the 11M equals 35 electoral college votes and the 6M equals 20 electoral college votes. If Trump would have campaigned there and had gotten, lets say, a modest 400,000 more votes (I'm rounding off a bit), he would have gotten another electoral college vote. And Biden would have lost one. Another 1.2M votes and that is equal to another state like Alaska or Maine. So I think you'd see less campaigning in the small states that are currently not competitive; not more.
But here's the big problem. The Democrats already do this in their primaries. There are very few winner-take-all states. What it does is empower the extremes. On Super Tuesday in 2008, here is how it broke down:
Clinton won:
AZ, AR, CA, MA, NJ, NM, NY, OK, TN. She won CA, NJ, and NY. Pretty good night for her.
Obama won:
AK, AL, CT, CO, DE, GA, ID, IL, KS, MN, ND, UT. He won IL and a bunch of small states.
The final delegate count? 849-832...OBAMA! How did he come out ahead on the delegate count when she won more states? It was because the states she won, she didn't win by a blow out. Obama blew her away in some places. ID was 15-3...MN 48-24...GA 60-27. Meaning that in the general election, winning a state 50/50 is not as important as it is to win a state 90/10. You'll see dark red and dark blue states become more valuable to candidates because winning Pennsylvania no longer matters because your opponent is going to get almost as many votes as you do. So what type of message do you start using to win the dark red and dark blue states? The most partisan language you can come up with.
So I'm a pass on your plan.
The Right is always right
Nothing is stopping states from doing that now. By all means get in out in front of that and start writing your state legislature. 6 million Trump voters in California demand that their votes actually count
Reactions: Bronwyn
condorkristy said:
The threshold could be what ever percentage of the vote it takes to get a candidate to one electoral, or you could include rank choice where voters choose a second candidate just in case their first choice does not get enough votes to meet the threshold.
To the victor goes the spoils. 60/40 the extra goes to the candidate with the most at a discount of the winners left over percentage difference between the two.
Since every state has at least 3 EC votes and few if any margins are so lopsided that they will result in the candidate not picking up at least one EC vote in small states. It puts all states into play because you would have to be above 80% to sweep a small state. Also, what you say in one state will be repeated by the media in all the other 49. So going extremist in one state for those votes could hurt you with votes in another.
While Obama did win more landslides than Clinton.
He also won more states and got more votes in total.
So you are against this because the candidate who got the most votes, won the most states, and had the greatest voter intensity behind them, won ?
Why shouldn't it be that way ?
Mick said:
So it's not happening already ?
Wow, you really added something important to the discussion.
True, but you have too give Bugs credit for posting something to think about.

Too much arithmetic involved in your compromise.
Abolish the electoral college. It's past its use-by date.

Boca said:
Don't I get some credit ?
JuliefromOhio said:
It would be easier to get a compromise than a rewriting of the Constitution.
Plus the math is pretty simple and common since it is the math we use in every other election.
Some states have already changed how they count electoral votes.....and that didn't need an amendment. See Nebraska.
Because they still use the EC. So there is no need to change that. But there might be some way to force the reporting of elections for certification by the congress that reflects the voters' true will in order to be accepted by for certification.
I prefer the Popular Vote project. Each state agrees to award all it's electors to the winner of the national popular vote. All votes count. All voters count equally.
The argument that small states vote for their interests is silly. Republican voters in Rhode Island are not voting for a different set of issues than republican voters in Kansas. Democrats in Texas are not voting for issues related to Texas alone....
The interests of each state are the responsibilities of the Senators and Representatives in Congress for that state....not the president. The math of the EC makes no sense and is even counter productive. How does it make sense to award 100% of the electors when only 55% of the registered voters even turn out and the winner only got 51% of that?
Reactions: The Sage of Main Street, EatTheRich and Angus Young
You have the right to chase unicorns all you want. I think it's hilarious.
Now, what is your plan to force states to do things your way?
More unicorn chasing. Good luck.

About eye diseases
Corneal Dystrophy
Corneal dystrophy is a collective term that refers to several conditions that cause damage to the cornea. The cornea is the clear tissue at the front of the eye that lets in light and helps focus it on the retina so that we can see. Disease or injury can damage the cornea, making it cloudy or distorted in shape, causing loss of vision.
Treatment for corneal disease is a transplant operation which removes all or part of a damaged cornea and is replaced by healthy donor tissue. In the UK alone, every year, over 2,500 people have their sight restored thanks to a corneal transplant.
The National Eye Research Centre is proud to have contributed to the establishment of the UK Corneal Transplant Service and ongoing research into improved treatments for corneal disease and methods of corneal transplantation. However, more needs to be done to constantly improve this treatment option.
You can help to find new treatments and end sight loss forever. Please make a gift today.
Causes of corneal disease
The cornea is the clear tissue at the front of the eye that lets in light and helps focus it on the retina so that we can see.
It protects your eyes from dirt, germs, and other particles, it filters and screens out some of the sun's damaging ultraviolet (UV) waves and contributes between 65-75% of your eye's focusing power.
Disease or injury can damage the cornea, making it cloudy or distorted in shape, causing loss of vision. Common causes of damage to the cornea include:
Infections, such as corneal ulcers that scar the corneal tissue
Keratoconus in young people, where the usually round cornea begins to bulge into a cone shape
Scarring caused by herpes, the cold sore virus
Age or inherited conditions may lead to cloudiness of the cornea in older people
Treatment for corneal disease
A cornea transplant replaces diseased corneal tissue with a disc of healthy tissue from a donor. There are different types of corneal transplant and the procedure chosen depends on which part of the cornea is damaged or how much of the cornea needs replacing.
The procedure usually lasts less than one hour and is carried out under local anaesthetic as day surgery. Read more about corneal transplant here.
Future treatments for corneal disease
Research into corneal disease, funded by the National Eye Research Centre, includes a study led by Dr Alice Davidson at University College London, who is investigating the cause of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) and testing for potential new therapies.
How to donate your corneas
There is a shortage of donated corneas in the UK. Many more people would benefit from sight-saving surgery if more corneas were donated.
People of all ages can donate corneas and about 65% of cornea-only donors are over 60 years old. Find out more information about how to donate your cornea here.
For full medical information about corneal dystrophy, please visit the NHS website.

Myopia (short sightedness) affects about half of the UK and it is becoming increasingly common throughout the world.
Cornea transplants are successful sight-saving operations, with 93% of grafts functioning after one year.
Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy
Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is an inherited form of vision loss, characterised by rapid, painless vision loss in both eyes. It usually occurs in a person's teens or twenties, but, in rare cases, it may appear in early childhood or later in adulthood.
Fuchs Dystrophy
Fuchs Dystrophy causes gradual loss of vision and is a common, age-related disease, that is usually inherited. It is estimated to affect more than 4% of people over 40 years of age.
Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) affects many people with sight loss and causes them to experience visual hallucinations. The hallucinations are often distressing and continuous – the exact causes are still unknown.
Children's Eye Diseases
Common signs of vision troubles in children include frequently rubbing their eyes, squinting, tilting or turning the head to look at objects, wandering eyes, or squeezing eyes.
Dry eye syndrome, or dry eye disease, is a common condition that occurs when the eyes don't make enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly. This leads to the eyes drying out and becoming red, swollen and irritated. Dry eye syndrome is also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca.
Cataracts occur when changes in the lens of the eye cause it to become less transparent. This results in cloudy or misty vision. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness globally but can be easily treated.
Glaucoma is the most common cause of sight loss amongst those of working age. Pressure is raised in the eye which damages the optic nerve and increasingly causes sight loss. New treatments, including improved eye drops and surgical techniques to reduce this pressure in the eye are being researched.
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the name given to a group of inherited conditions of the retina that all lead to a gradual progressive reduction in vision.
600,000 people in the UK currently have sight loss caused by AMD and around 70,000 new cases are diagnosed every year.
Uveitis is a leading cause of visual impairment in people of working age in the UK. It is an inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, called the uvea or uveal tract.
Corneal dystrophy is a collective term that refers to several conditions that cause damage to the cornea. The cornea is the clear tissue at the front of the eye that lets in light and helps focus it on the retina so that we can see.
A lazy eye, also known as amblyopia, is a childhood condition that occurs when the vision in one eye does not develop properly.
The National Eye Research Centre is a leading eye research charity that funds eye research teams across the UK to find the causes of eye disease to develop new prevention methods and more effective treatments. We fund research for eye diseases in both adults and children.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia warned Israel on Wednesday that attacking Iran would be a disastrous and played down the failure of a U.N. nuclear agency mission to Tehran, saying there is still a chance for new talks over the Iranian atomic program.
"Of course any possible military scenario against Iran will be catastrophic for the region and for the whole system of international relations," Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov told a news conference.
It was one of Russia's starkest warnings against resorting to force, an option Israel and the United States have not ruled out if they conclude that diplomacy and increasing sanctions will not stop Iran from developing a nuclear bomb.
Russia, China as well as many allies of the United States are concerned that any military action against Iran could engulf the Middle East in wider war, which would send oil prices rocketing at a time of global economic troubles.
Iran has threatened to retaliate for any attack, or even if it feels endangered, by closing the Strait of Hormuz, the conduit for Gulf oil exports crucial to the global economy, and hitting Israel and U.S. interests in the Middle East.
Tehran has refused to stop sensitive nuclear work such as uranium enrichment despite four rounds of U.N. sanctions and a slew of additional measures imposed by the United States and the European Union, which fear Tehran is seeking nuclear weapons.
The Islamic Republic says its efforts to produce nuclear fuel are solely for electricity generation.
The failure of two days of talks between Iran and senior International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) officials, who were refused access to a military site where they believe Iran tested explosives of use in nuclear weapons, dimmed the chances of Western powers agreeing to renew broader negotiations with Iran.
A warning from Iran's clerical supreme leader on Wednesday, hours after the Tehran talks concluded, that no obstacle would derail Iran's nuclear course added to tensions.
Gatilov suggested that Iran should be more cooperative but there is more room for diplomacy. He said Iran's discussions with Russia, China, the United States, Britain, France and Germany, frozen for a year, could still be revived.
"Iran and IAEA should boost their dialogue in order to rule out the ... possibility of the existence of military dimensions in the Iranian nuclear program. We hope that this dialogue will be continued," he said.
Russia, which built Iran's first nuclear power plant, has often stressed the need for talks and that too much coercive pressure on Iran is counterproductive, a stance that has prompted concerns Moscow has helped Tehran play for time.
Last week, Russia said global powers must be serious about proposing solutions Iran might accept, warning that Tehran's desire for compromise was waning as it moved closer to being technically capable of building atomic weapons.


Why did so many bankers choose Clapham for their home in the eighteenth century? How did their villas get replaced by rows of terraced housing? Why does the street grid take its present form and who used to live in the houses? Why did lowly South Battersea emerge as the upmarket Twixt the Commons? Timothy Walker, a long standing resident, answers all these questions and more using contemporary commentary from Pepys and Defoe to the present day Financial Times.

But content alone is still not enough when it comes to the technical complexities of the world wide web. Even if a site boasts a stunning design with plenty of interesting text and nice photos. This must also be optimised in order for the search engines to recognise it. What's more, the information has to be updated regularly to keep visitors informed of the latest developments and information. Links are also very important as they connect websites with similar themes and offer users a broader spectrum of sources for the information they see. You Tube videos have also recently become a major factor in search engine optimisation and it's not hard to see why.

"If you don't focus on fresh, quality content and have it optimised by a professional, your wonderful, all-singing, all-dancing website my only be seen by a fraction of its potential visitors online."


Abstract How do additional support services impact student-athletes? Support services include, but not limited to, course selections; monitoring attendance and degree progress; study halls and tutors; priority registration; and peer mentors. Over the years there have been changes in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) academic regulations, such as examining the academic performance rate (APR) and the graduation success rate (GSR), which have resulted in an increased focus and attention placed on providing support for student-athletes. Gaston-Gayles (2003) noted academic advising services are available to all students, yet student-athletes are purposely exposed to it. The current study examined the academic support services available to both students and student-athletes in the Department of Physical Education and Human Performance at Central Connecticut State University. Participants (N=96) completed a modified version of the NCAA National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics (N4A) Survey (NCAA, 2009) that assessed the proportion of time students and student-athletes used the available academic support services. Demographic information was collected to determine the major and athletic status of the participants. Among all the academic support services provided, study hall, priority registration, and access to the computer laboratories were different among students and student-athletes. Similar results were found by the NCAA (2009). Examining a broader population of students in various majors is warranted. Additionally, further examining students' perception of academic pathways is needed to better understand the impact of academic support services.

Before any painting work takes place, prior preparation of interior and exterior surfaces is very important. This helps ensure a smooth painting process as the surface is clean and dry, which is important for any sound painted surface. If there is any peeling, it's important to scrape off any loose paint until the surface remains bare. In addition, any damages must be fixed otherwise the paint will start peeling after a short period of time.
We are a team of painting contractors located in Ireland and service both residential and commercial customers in the West and Northwest of the country. For many years now, we have been the most popular painters in the region, offering the most reliable and quality painting services at competitive prices.
We do not take shortcuts when it comes to interior and exterior painting. We follow a systematic approach to ensure that each job is completed with excellence.
The biggest mistake a house painter can make is failing to prepare the surface to be painted properly. Without proper preparation, the surface may not appear as appealing as a well prepared area would be. Even worse, the paint may peel off after a few days or months.
We have the skills and know-how to make the necessary house preparations prior to painting. It's important to us that preparation is done with great care to ensure that all dirt and mold is completely removed.
The first step involves placing drop cloths on the floor surface of the area to be painted as well as on the furniture present for interior painting. We cover the windows, doors, back and front yards to prevent paint from spoiling your flowers and plants. Next, we power wash the exterior surfaces to remove dirt, debris, mold, fungi, and any other type of loose dirt. We use a bleach solution to neutralise the mould and fungus. We then scrape off the peeling old paint and sand to give the surface a smooth finish.
For old plaster walls, we fixed damaged areas with a patching compound and apply an oil-based or shellac primer to seal out moisture.
We also inspect the exterior for water and fire damages. For a house that hasn't been inspected and repainted for a while, there is a possibility of water damage at the base of the eaves.Our experts have the right skills and equipment to identify and fix water and fire damages both on the interior and exterior of your home.
For repairs, we use putty and caulk to fill any cracks, nail-head depressions, and fix other imperfections on the surfaces. Where necessary, we scrape off old caulk and re-apply new ones.
For metalwork, we scrape off any loose paint, dust off the rust, and apply a primer.
For the exposed areas where paint has peeled-off, thinned, or blistered, we apply a high quality primer and allow it to dry thoroughly before painting.
Quality preparation and repair is crucial for any painting project. We have the most experienced painters who strictly follow the preparation process from the start to the end. With our experience, we know that the key to creating a picture-perfect outdoor and indoor space is quality preparation.
No matter how bad the condition of your home or property is, we will use our best resources to ensure quality preparation and repair prior to painting. We will offer a free estimate for the whole project and we guarantee 100% satisfaction.

This book, written by an experienced urban classroom teacher and coach, aims to document effective practices in urban schools and to provide insight into productive program building and educational practices. The book rejects the up-by-your-bootstraps theory of success, offering in its place a set of concrete strategies for teachers and educational leaders who are committed to fundamentaiiy rethinking the business-as-usual approach which continues to fail urban school children. This book is well-suited for classes working with educational leaders, classroom teachers, sports coaches, and educational researchers. "An educator, a theorist, an activist, and a coach...Jeffrey M.R. Duncan-Andrade draws on all of these roles to explain what it takes to teach and motivate young people to succeed. Through this skillful analysis of the role of sports in the lives of urban youth, Duncan-Andrade reveals how educators can buiid relationships and develop a deeper sense of meaning about the purpose of education with the young people they serve. An inspiring, insightful analysis and an invaluable guide for those who recognize the potential for education to transform lives and empower urban youth." ---Pedro A, Noguera, Peter L. Agnew Professor of Education, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Development; Executive Director, Metropolitan Center for Urban Education, New York University "Jeffrey M.R. Duncan-Andrade always presents us with a freshness...fresh ideas, fresh analysis, fresh perspectives. It is no different in this volume. One of the freshest takes on coaching, teaching, and learning from a critical perspective." ---Gloria Ladson-Biltings, Professor and Chair, Department of Curriculum and Instruction; Keilner Family Chair in Urban Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison "This is a book for anyone who cares to chart a path for children and youth in urban schools. There is so much to recommend in this book, but above it ail is'the sense of optirnism that sports can be a tool for empowerment for all our kids, whether or not they have pro potential."---Dave Zirin, Author of A People's History of Sports' in the U.S.
Learning is increasingly seen as crucial to the success of organisations but many studies of the subject offer very little empirical evidence to substantiate this. Based upon in-depth research, including over seventy interviews with managers and employees, Organisational Learning and Effectiveness is an original and comprehensive analysis of learning organisations. Contents include: * detailed case studies of five major international companies: Coca-Cola and Schweppes Beverages, 3M, Siebe, Mayflower and Morgan Crucible * the intellectual origins of organisational learning * best practice in organisational learning * the importance of leadership roles and skills *a critical examination of the usefulness and relevance of organisational learning and effectiveness. Integrating management theory and practice, this volume is an extremely valuable resource for all those with an interest in organisational behaviour and human resource development.
In a time of high educational expectations and professional accountability, today's educational leaders must possess a broad variety of skills that enable them to function comfortably and effectively in changing environments and under highly politicized conditions. The mission of Fundamental Concepts of Educational Leadership is to foster understanding of this reality among those preparing for administrative and managerial careers in pre-colligate educational institutions and to help them develop the skills necessary for working effectively within those environments. This text emphasizes an action-research approach that is more eclectic and practical than ideological — compelling readers to think critically about the theoretical underpinnings of current educational practice and motivating them to solve problems using sensible, realistic alterative approaches. The revised third edition of this text includes a number of new tools -- such as activities, case studies, and instructional aids — which encourage active learning as well chapter review and reinforcement. The new edition also includes a table at the front of the text that links ISLLC standards with the corresponding discussion in within the book.

Muhammad Ali, Undisputedly 'The Greatest'
G.E. Branch III
Muhammad Ali. Who among us today can suppress a smile of appreciation at the mere mention of the name? I can unabashedly confess that the man was my hero, the single most impactful athlete of my generation.
However, as a Black male, sports journalist and citizen of the United States of America, I also have to honestly admit that was not always the case. Ali, the universally unstoppable force, pulled me into his orbit as he did others who might have been opposed to what they thought they knew of him ― or perhaps, more accurately, because of what they thought they knew of themselves.
You see, I actually did not like Ali even though I was a kid living in Louisville as he was beginning to make his meteoric ascent into the global consciousness. The root of the dislike was easy to trace. My father, a life-long Navy man, disparaged the young fighter as a "loud-mouthed draft dodger." He never told me not to like Ali but he didn't have to. My father was the wisest man I knew at the time so he had to be right.
Besides, I could think for myself. In my world of little plastic, green military figures, if your country called on you to serve, you served. Why wouldn't you unless you were a coward? Rules were rules. Who did this guy think he was, already talking about how he was "The Greatest" and how he didn't have "no quarrel against no Viet Cong?"
He mocked opponents. The arrogant man changed his name from Cassius Clay. Who were these frightful Black Muslims he was running with? I thought justice was served when he was stripped of his titles and jailed as the result of being a conscientious objector.
Then the world's harsh realities began to make an impression on a now more inquisitive and socially aware adolescent.
Walter Cronkite would give us the body count for both sides on the evening news as if the "Vietnam conflict" were a sporting event that we were somehow winning every day. Some folk for whatever reason gunned down Malcolm, Martin and Bobby even after having already traumatized us with the assassination of JFK. Desegregation was not exactly going off without a hitch. Cities were aflame and college campuses smoldered as students dared to blatantly question authority.
My father left us to start another family.
Don't get me wrong, I still backed Joe Frazier against Ali because too many people simplistically broke down the fight as Ali representing the Black man and Frazier, a proud Black man, playing the part of Uncle Tom. Even as Ali relentlessly and mercilessly verbally marginalized Frazier, I sensed a change in the "Louisville Lip" and the way I felt about him.
I came to the conclusion that Ali indeed already had fought and won a major battle, showing more courage than I had the wisdom to recognize at the time. He had a point about Vietnam and the Supreme Court underscored his stand by overturning his conviction. I began to realize that you can't go through life just following the crowd. I discovered that Jesus was not a White man unless there were other miracles that we weren't told about, that our leaders in government sometimes did lie to us and that every person on this planet has flaws.
I began to look at Ali totally differently. I embraced his showmanship, appreciated his skill and would never again underestimate his heart. I soaked up his confidence and girded myself with it. I took notice of how he gave tirelessly of himself to help others improve their lot in life. Through this different lens, I looked back on many of the things he said and did and recognized the simple brilliance.
How could you not admire if not love outright love a man whose life clearly demonstrated the power of belief and spiritualism? Without that foundation, could one man bear the burden of a lifetime of success and failure under the intense glare of the entire world? After getting knocked down literally or figuratively in life, he always got up.
I've never been so proud of so many things at once as when Ali, standing tall in defiance of the effects of Parkinson's syndrome, lit the Olympic flame at the Summer Games in Atlanta in 1996 ― proud of him, my country, my Black people, you name it.
Ali had come full circle from the gold medal winning Olympian who returned home and still was dogged by racism to claiming his place as one of our country's national treasures.
Now, his earthly stay has ended as it will for all of us. You can imagine him somewhere with his cornerman Drew Bundini Brown eternally hyping each other up:
"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee,
Your hands can't hit what your eyes can't see.
Rumble, young man, rumble!"

Dr Stefan Bleeck is Professor of Hearing Science and Technology at the Hearing and Balance Centre within the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research at the University of Southampton and the head of the Auditory Technology group.
The aim of my work is to understand how we hear sound and to use this knowledge to create bio-inspired solutions to enhance speech communication.
The complex challenge requires a highly interdisciplinary approach. My first degree was in Physics and I obtained a PhD in computational neuroscience in 2000 from the Institute of Zoology at the University of Darmstadt, Germany. I worked as a research assistant in the "Centre of the Neural Basis of Hearing" in Cambridge, UK with Roy Patterson and Ian Winter. In 2005 I joined the ISVR Sound and Vibration Research and the Hearing and Balance Centre where I was promoted to chair in 2016.
I have continuously worked on various aspects of hearing research and technology and have been principal investigator on various research grants (EU, EPSRCS, etc) with a value of more than £2M. I am team leader with an internationally recognised research programme to develop devices that help normal hearing and hearing-impaired people to communicate better in noise within the next 10 years.
My research spans the bridge from biology to engineering. I am interested in speech and the brain. The aim of my research is to understand how we hear sound and to use this knowledge to create bio-inspired solutions to enhance speech communication.

If you lose your keys, you'll need a car key made as soon as possible. But can a locksmith replace your key without the original? Learn more here.
Oh no! While on vacation, you dropped your car keys somewhere on the floor outside and have not been able to find them since.
Now you need a car key made without having the original one at hand. How are you going to make that happen? Simple, by obtaining a locksmith.
To ensure that you take the proper steps when you need a car key made, we here at Bode and Bode are telling you 4 simple things you should do beforehand.
If you need new car keys, we suggest you listen and take notes.
Before being able to answer the question, can I get a car key made without original car keys? or should I get a locksmith? you should first know the answer to the question, what type of car do I have?
To replace keys from cars made before 1981, you only need a key cut from a standard key block. To replace keys from cars made after 1981, the locksmith would have to tediously cut a transponder key or key with specially programmed chips in it for safety features, and then properly program it to be able to start your vehicle.
Once you've established what type of car you have, you must then figure out what type of car key you need. Like stated previously, if your car was made before 1981 you will probably just need a standard key cut, while if your car was made after 1981 you will need a transponder key.
The third type of car key you may need is a smart key. Smart keys act as a remote, have a key fob attached to them and do not require traditional means of turning on the ignition.
After learning about what type of car you have and what type of key you need, it is finally time to get an auto locksmith. Getting an auto locksmith is the most cost-efficient option when you need a car key made.
Another way you can get your car key made when you do not have the original key, outside of getting a locksmith, is to call the dealership and ask for a replacement. Although a viable option, doing so will cost twice as much as having a locksmith cut and program a new key.
Instead of your locksmith cutting and programming a new car key, you can even have your locksmith create an entirely new key using your car's ignition. Although another viable option, once again this process would be much more expensive than just having your locksmith cut and program a new key. One unlikely option for getting a new car key made is to have a DIY car key replacement.
When you need a car key made by a locksmith, you first have to identify the year, make and model of your car, prove ownership of the vehicle and have the vehicle identification (VIN) number, and key identification number/key code at hand to give to the locksmith. You can prove ownership of the vehicle by showing your registration and title.
You can find the VIN number by looking at your driver's side dashboard, engine bay, metal plate, and/or driver's side doorstop, and you can find the key code by checking the stamped interior door panel on the lock mechanism. When giving your locksmith information, also make sure to tell him whether or not your car keys were stolen so that he or she can reprogram your car so that the old keys will not work on it anymore.
So, next time you need a car key made and you are asking yourself, can I get a car key made without original car keys? The answer is, of course! Through the service of a good locksmith, getting a car key made with or without the original key is a piece of cake.
If you want to contact Bode and Bode to have our locksmiths make you a new car key, call us today!


My name is Leo, and I run a residential apartment building in Lubbock, TX.
I'm sending you this email to show my appreciation for your excellent screening service.
Your reports are very promptly generated, and they contain very accurate data regarding applicants' backgrounds.
But that's not the only reason for this email today.
Recently, your report revealed a sexual offender that came to me to apply for an apartment unit, so I was able to deny his qualifications based on that information.
Although I believe everyone has his/her story, a sexual offender is definitely not good for the business and is probably too much of a risk for me and the neighbors to have live in my property.
So, thank you, Troy, for providing this excellent service.

Walt Disney World (FL)
7 Places to Get a Steak at Walt Disney World
October 1, 2021 September 29, 2021 Erin Foster 0 Comments
For some folks, nothing says vacation like a big, juicy steak. Not surprisingly, Disney has that topic covered, with seven restaurants on property featuring indulgent cuts of meat served with steakhousey sides. Here's the scoop on all the options to help you decide where to dine.
Note: Reservations are strong recommended for all these locations.
Le Cellier filet mignon
Le Cellier
Location: EPCOT, Canada Pavilion
TouringPlans Reader Quality Rating: 87%
Price Range: Entrees $34-59
Menu Highlights: Le Cellier's cheddar cheese soup is the ne plus ultra of the genre
Whether you want to eat cheese soup when it's 95 degrees out is your business. The shareable charcuterie board comes with a candle made of beef tallow so you can drip some extra fat on your meats and cheeses (delicious, by the way). Our filet is always cooked perfectly.
Notes: Le Cellier is the only restaurant on this list that is located inside a theme park. You'll have to have a park admission ticket and an EPCOT park pass (or a Park Hopper ticket) in order to dine here. The dining room is dark and dungeony; this place is short on atmosphere. The mac & cheese side dish is worth the splurge.
Shula's Steakhouse
Location: Dolphin resort
TouringPlans Reader Quality Rating: 87% positive
Menu Highlights: The 22 oz cowboy ribeye or the 24 oz porterhhouse could be shared by two, or you could conquer the plate all on your own.
Notes: Shula's is small chain. If you live near one of the other locations, you could choose to eat at your home location and instead have a meal at a more uniquely Disney venue. Crab cakes are not officially on the appetizer menu, but we sometimes split the crabcake entree as a starter.
STK Orlando
Location: Disney Springs
Price Range: Entrees $44-152
Menu Highlights: There is a steak option for every appetite, from a petite 6 oz filet, to a 34 oz dry-aged tomahawk ribeye. Any of the meat options can be topped with a peppercorn crust, truffle butter, shrimp, or king crab Oscar, for a fee. There are also several sauce options (chimichurri, horseradish, etc.) and they all cost extra.
Notes: STK has more non-steak options here than some of the other steakhouses on site. If you're dining with a non-beef eater, this might be more appealing to them than some of the other options. That 71% approval rating places STK at #96 of the 99 restaurants our readers have reviewed. It's not that the food is all bad, but most find it's just not worth the money. STK is also part of chain. Here is another instance where your time is probably better spent on a more Disney-esque experience.
Yachtsman Steakhouse prime rib
Yachtsman Steakhouse
Location: Yacht Club resort
Menu Highlights: We love most of the non-seafood appetizers and all the desserts. The beef entrees have had recent problems with temperature, which is unacceptable at this price point. The bread, salad, drinks, and sweets are all divine though.
Notes: The relatively high rating is based primarily on pre-COVID reviews (Yachtsman was shuttered for over a year). We've had lackluster experiences since the reopening, but have high hopes that better days are ahead.
Location: Coronado Springs resort
Menu Highlights: Toledo offers steakhouse favorites like rib-eye for two, marinated hanger steak, and filet, along with classic side dish options such as roasted cauliflower and olive-oil potato puree (aka mashed potatoes), but if you want to skip the meat, you can make a meal of the tapas-style starters.
Notes: This is one of the few Disney steak places that seem to treat children as more than an afterthought. Kids can create their own entrees from a selection of five main dishes and eight sides.
Surf and turf at The Boathouse
Menu Highlights: We've had terrific filet and New York strip steaks here in recent months. You can crown your steak with a full lobster tail or if you're feeling antisocial, have it topped with a roasted garlic cloves.
Notes: Given the name "Boathouse" you'd be right to assume that this location is as much about seafood as it is about steak. If you're feeling adventurous, head next door to the amphicar stand and take a boat ride in an automobile; there is often a discount for Boathouse diners. Brunch is an option here as well as dinner.
Steakhouse 71
Location: Contemporary resort
TouringPlans Reader Quality Rating: TBD
Menu Highlights: There doesn't seem to be as many over-the-top cow-for-two options here, which is probably a good thing. Basic sides and sauces are included in the price here, which is not the case at most of the Disney steakhouses.
Notes: Steakhouse 71 opened on October 1. Stay tuned for a full review.

Olaus
Olaus Jeldness pioneered the establishment of competitive skiing in western Canada. Born in Stangvik, Norway, in 1857, he caused a stir there when, at the age of 15, he ski jumped a distance of 92 feet heralded as a world record at the time. He emigrated to the United States at the age of 16 to pursue a successful career in mining. He returned to Norway in 1882 to develop a mining operation in the north until 1896 when he left to come to Canada and the mining community of Rossland, British Columbia.
Shortly after arriving, he began to foster skiing. Jeldness brought his skis, his love of the sport, and a single long steering pole. It was reported that he would frequently delight his gallery "...by flashing down the hill holding the pole high above his head, in exultation, to the delight of the throngs of spectators that flocked to witness his daring exploits on skis." (Rolf Lund, Nordic World, March 1978)
The first recorded Canadian ski competition took place at Rossland in 1897, an event which he organized and promoted. He won this first downhill on Red Mountain on March 6, 1897. Early racing might be considered a free-for-all and clearly dangerous by today's strict safety standards as the racers all started together at the summit, hurling themselves down the mountain to the finish line on the main street of town. The racers controlled their speed by using their single long pole as both a rudder and brake, choosing their own route down the mountain.
In addition to being a great competitor, Olaus Jeldness was also a teacher of skiing, sharing his skills and his joy of skiing with others in his community. He was instrumental in creating the Rossland Winter Carnival which began in 1898. Included in the carnival were competitive events which included a race called the Canadian Champion Ski Race which descended 2,000 vertical feet over a 1.5 course. He won this event as well as another, the first Canadian Championship Ski Jumping contest. He would repeat his successes, now called the Dominion Ski Championships, winning both Downhill and Jumping events in 1899 and 1900, his last year of competition. When he retired from active competition he also retired the MacIntosh Trophy which he had won for the third time. He was 44 years of age.
In the autumn of 1898, he organized the clearing of three separate downhill runs and organized and formed what was, arguably, the first ski club in Canada. He also donated two historic trophies, the first in 1900 which would become the permanent possession of a skier who could win it three consecutive times. (This was achieved by Torgal Noren who won the ski jumping championship in 1904, 1905 and 1906.) The conditions accompanying the second Jeldness trophy, donated in 1908, stipulated that it would be a perpetual trophy awarded from year to year. This important trophy was given eventually to the Rossland Historical Museum where it remains.
As successful in his mining ventures as he was in skiing, he was able to retire to a comfortable life in Spokane, Washington in 1909. Even in retirement, he remained active in the development of the sport and he is reputed to be the originator of skiing competition in the western United States when he organized a ski jumping event in Spokane.
It would seem appropriate that for his considerable contribution to competitive skiing that he should be known as the "Father of Competitive Skiing in Canada".

Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus ( – ) was a Roman patrician, statesman, and military leader of the early Roman Republic who became a legendary figure of Roman virtue—particularly civic virtue—by the time of the late Republic.

Cincinnatus was an opponent of the rights of the plebeians (the common citizens) who fell into poverty because of his son Caeso Quinctius's violent opposition to their desire for a written code of equally enforced laws. Despite his relatively old age, he worked his own small farm until an invasion prompted his fellow citizens to call for his leadership. He came from his plough to assume complete control over the state but, upon achieving a swift victory in only 16 days, relinquished his power and its perquisites and returned to his farm. His success and immediate resignation of his near-absolute authority with the end of this crisis (traditionally dated to 458 BC) has often been cited as an example of outstanding leadership, service to the greater good, civic virtue, humility, and modesty.

Modern historians question some particulars of the story recounted in Livy and elsewhere but usually accept Cincinnatus as a historical figure who served as suffect consul in 460BC and as dictator in 458BC and (possibly) again in 439BC, when the patricians called on him to suppress the feared uprising of the plebeians under Spurius Maelius, after which he is said to have once again ceded power.

Life

According to the traditional accounts, Lucius would have been born about 519BC, during the last decade of the Roman Kingdom. He would have been a member of the ancient patrician clan Quinctia,  which predated the founding of Rome and was moved to Rome from the Latin city of Alba Longa by Tullus Hostilius. The clan's first consul was Titus Quinctius Capitolinus Barbatus, elected in 471BC. As both Titus and Lucius are recorded as the son and grandson of men named Lucius Quinctius, Titus is sometimes thought to have been Lucius's brother. This suggests Lucius was the first of his cognomen , meaning "the curly haired". The family was rich.

In the late 460sBC, Rome was fending off raids by the Aequi to their east and, beginning in 462BC, the tribune G. Terentilius Harsa began pressing for codification of the Roman laws in order to establish a kind of constitution that would check the near-regal power of the patrician consuls. In the years that followed, he and the other plebeians were ignored, fended off, rejected on procedural grounds, and finally beaten and driven from the streets by gangs of patricians and their clients, supposedly including Cincinnatus's son Caeso.

The violent resistance of the patricians prompted so much unrest that Appius Herdonius was able to seize the Capitoline Hill and hold it against the city with a gang of outlaws and rebel slaves (in Livy) or with an army of Sabines (in Dionysius). The consul Publius Valerius Poplicola was killed in its recovery in 460BC and Cincinnatus, probably illegally, became the suffect ("replacement") consul for the remainder of the year. Cincinnatus was himself a violent opponent of the plebs' proposal, which made no progress during his administration. His son was supposedly driven from town and killed for his murder of a plebeian. Cincinnatus quit the city and retired to an estate he held to the west of the Tiber.

Cincinnatus served as dictator, a king-like figure appointed by the Republic in times of extreme emergency, in 458 or 457BC in order to lead reinforcements to the defense of the Roman army under the consul L. Minucius Esquilinus Augurinus at Mount Algidus. Many of the details of the story are now assumed to be spurious and some consider the entire military account fictional, believing its parallels with T. Quinctius Cincinnatus's 380BC defeat of Praeneste and Fabius the Delayer's 217BC rescue of M. Minucius Rufus from Hannibal too great for chance. Cincinnatus is recorded, having taken advantage of his position as dictator, to ignore the objections of the tribunes and to charge his son's accuser Marcus Volscius for perjury, driving him into exile.

During the decemvirate, he ran unsuccessfully for a position in their government in 450BC but Livy notes his involvement in the discussion about opening the consulship to plebeians.

Possibly, he returned as dictator in 439BC to defend Rome against the conspiracy the prefect L. Minucius Augurinus alleged Spurius Maelius was plotting against the Republic. When Spurius Maelius ignored his summons, he was killed by Cincinnatus's master of horse and any plot collapsed. Cincinnatus presumably died sometime soon afterwards.

Legend

Son of Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus

In the traditional accounts of the story, Cincinnatus's son Caeso was an openly violent opponent of the attempts of the plebeians to enact the Terentilian Law, which sought to codify the Roman legal tradition and circumscribe the authority of the patrician consuls. Caeso would lead gangs to drive the Tribunes of the Plebs from the Forum, disrupting the procedures necessary to approve it. He was brought up on capital charges in 461BC but released on a large bail. A plebeian named Marcus Volscius testified that his brother, while feeble from sickness, had been knocked down and injured by Caeso with such force that he later died. Rather than face his accusers in court, Caeso fled to the Etruscans. He was then condemned to death in absentia and his father subjected to a huge punitive fine, forcing him to sell most of his estates and to retire from public life to personally work a small farm (some accounts say Caeso was killed with Poplicola in the recovery of the Capitoline from Herdonius). Modern historians particularly reject the fine as a later invention inserted to explain the dictator's supposed poverty and heighten his virtues. Some reject the story in its entirety.

First dictatorship

In 458BC, the Aequi to Rome's east broke their treaty of the year before and attempted to retake Tusculum (Frascati). The consuls for the year—L. Minucius Esquilinus Augurinus and G. Nautius Rutilus—led out two armies, one to Tusculum's relief and another to strike against the lands of the Aequi and their Sabine allies. Upon reaching Mount Algidus in the Alban Hills, the army under L. Minucius Esquilinus Augurinus encamped and rested instead of immediately attacking. The Aequi quickly deployed around their position and successfully besieged them, with only five horsemen escaping to tell the Roman Senate what had happened. With the army of the second consul unable to help, the senators fell into a panic and authorized the nomination of a dictator. G. Nautius Rutilus or Horatius Pulvillus named Cincinnatus for a term of six months.

A group of senators was sent to Cincinnatus to inform him of his appointment, finding him while he was ploughing his farm. He asked them, "Is everything all right?" and they replied that they hoped "it might turn out well for both him and his country", asking that he don his senatorial toga before hearing the Senate's mandate. He then called out to his wife Racilia, telling her to bring his toga from their cottage. Once he was properly dressed, the delegation hailed him as a dictator and ordered him to come to the city. He crossed the Tiber in one of the senate's boats and was greeted on his return by his three sons and most of the senators. Several lictors were given to him for protection and enforcement of his orders.

The next morning, Cincinnatus went to the Forum and named Lucius Tarquitius as his master of the horse. He then went to the assembly of the people and ordered every man of military age to appear on the Field of Mars (Campus Martius) by the end of the day with twelve times the normal amount of encamping spikes. They then marched to the relief of the consul's relieving army. At the Battle of Mount Algidus, they used their spikes to quickly besiege the besieging Aequi. Rather than slaughter them between the two Roman camps, Cincinnatus accepted their pleas for mercy and offered an amnesty provided that three principal offenders were executed and Gracchus Cloelius and their other leaders be delivered to him in chains. A "yoke" of three spears was then set up and the Aequi made to pass under it as an act of submission, bowing and admitting their defeat. Cincinnatus then disbanded his army and returned to his farm, abandoning his control a mere fifteen days after it had been granted to him.

Second dictatorship

On the nomination of his brother or nephew Titus Quinctius Capitolinus Barbatus, Cincinnatus came out of retirement for a second term as dictator in 439BC to deal with the feared plot of the wealthy plebeian Spurius Maelius to buy the loyalty of the poor and establish himself as king over Rome. Cincinnatus named C. Servilius Ahala his master of the horse and directed him to bring Spurius Maelius before him. He and the other patricians then garrisoned the Capitoline Hill and other strongholds around the city.
Maelius fended off Ahala's officer with a butcher's knife and fled into a crowd. Ahala led a band of patricians into the crowd and killed him during his flight. With the crisis resolved, Cincinnatus again resigned his commission, having served 21 days (Ahala was later brought to trial for exceeding his commission and accepted voluntary exile). Various aspects of the story are connected with spurious etiological legends and it may have no more connection to the dictator of 458BC than the fact that the Cincinnatus of 439BC was a member of the same clan.

Other legends

Cincinnatus became a legend to the Romans. Twice granted supreme power, he held on to it for not a day longer than absolutely necessary. He consistently demonstrated great honour and integrity. The high esteem in which he was held by the later Romans is sometimes extended to his compatriots. One legend from the end of his life claims a Capitolinus defended one of his sons from a charge of military incompetence by asking the jury who would go to tell the aged Cincinnatus the news in the event of a conviction. The son was said to have been acquitted because the jury could not bring itself to break the old man's heart.

Legacy

Many Italian cities have plazas, streets, or other locations named after Cincinnatus (). The Cincinnato neighborhood in Anzio, Italy is named in his honor.

The legend of Cincinnatus's military victory and subsequent relinquishment of power has continued to inspire admiration. It has also been invoked to honor other political leaders, notably George Washington. Washington's relinquishing of control of the Continental Army, refusal to consider establishing a monarchy or assuming monarchical powers, and voluntary retirement after two terms as president to return to his farm at Mount Vernon have made allusions to Cincinnatus common in historical and literary treatments of the era.

The Society of the Cincinnati was established by Henry Knox in 1783 to assist the officers of the Continental Army and Navy and their families, to preserve the ideals of the American Revolution, and to maintain the union of the former colonies. A French Society of the Cincinnati was founded soon afterward by King Louis XVI. Cincinnati, Ohio and Cincinnatus, New York, in the United States, were named in his honor.

Cincinnatus is referenced in Book II, Chapter 1 of Thomas Carlyle's Sartor Resartus. The protagonist of Vladimir Nabokov's Invitation to a Beheading is named Cincinnatus C.

Whistleblower Edward Snowden used the nickname "Cincinnatus" when first contacting journalist Glenn Greenwald.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson referred to Cincinnatus in his farewell speech outside 10 Downing Street in London on 6 September 2022. Some commentators noted that, while, as Johnson said, Cincinnatus returned to his plough, he was also later recalled to power.

VARANASI: Unable to withstand the humiliation by his children, a 61-year-old has now become a helping hand for lawaris, or abandoned and sick, in the Holy city. The man arrived in Kashi from Vishakhapatnam in 2015 and now drives an ambulance for free to help the needy people in the entire district.
Bishwanath Mukherjee was born and brought up in Kolkata. An alumnus of St Xavier's College, he remembers the heart-wrenching afternoon that changed his life.
"Soon after shifting to Vizag (Vishakhapatnam) with his family having a son, his wife and a grand daughter, I was abused verbally. One day I was sitting at home when my daughter-in-law threw scalding water on me. Looking at the silence of my son over the issue, I left home," said Bishwanath, tears filled his eyes of his creased face.
Heard a lot about the kindness of Kashi, he took the train and arrived here. "I had no place to live and one day was wandering on the road where I got into an accident. People admitted me to the divisional hospital. I was caught in the lime-green walls and forced to eat stale food when a women of Mother Teresa Ashram took me to their hermitage at Shivala," he recalled .
At Shivala the old man met social worker NN Tiwari, CA by profession who visited them every Sunday. "I was lost in thought that how would I survive when Tiwari ji tapped on my back and asked: "Kaa Bhayal?" (What happened?). Unable to understand Hindi and Bhojpuri, I asked him: "What did you say?" Shocked with my language and accent, he listened to my story and took me to his place," said Mukherjee.
After visiting his home, Muklherjee came to know about the social work of Tiwari and wished to help him. "Impressed by his inherent goodness and driving skills, I bought him an ambulance and a mobile. Since then, he is on day-night duty. Anyone who needs help to take any patient to hospital from any place, Bishwanathji is just a call away," said NN Tiwari.
Picking and dropping four to five patients daily is the selfless service that the white-haired man renders.
"The society is full of forlorn people like me who have been abandoned by their children. All of them are my family. Whenever I find any such person, I try to help in the best possible manner. I take them to Ashrams where they may stay," said Mukherjee.

Hijack your plane with an Android phone
11th April 2013, 11:15 #1
Stefan Mileschin
[M] Reviewer
Anyone who thought that airport security would allow smartphone use on a plane in the future might be a little worried to know that it is possible to hijack a plane with one.
Hugo Teso, a security consultant at n.runs in Germany, told the Hack In The Box Conference in Amsterdam that it was completely realistic to hijack a plane using Android.
Teso, who has been working in IT for the last eleven years and has been a trained commercial pilot said that the security of aviation computer systems and communication protocols was pants.
According to Security, Teso built an exploit framework dubbed SIMON and an Android app (PlaneSploit) that delivers attack messages to the airplanes' Flight Management System. He demonstrated how it was possible to take complete control of an aircraft.
He proved his point by making virtual planes "dance to his tune".
His hack targeted the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), which sends information about each aircraft through an on-board transmitter to air traffic controllers. This allows aircraft equipped with the technology to receive flight, traffic and weather information about other planes nearby.
The other hack was of the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS), which is used to exchange messages between the plane and air traffic controllers via radio or satellite, as well as to automatically deliver information about each flight phase.
He said that both technologies were massively insecure and are susceptible to a number of passive and active attacks.
In the attack, Teso misused the ADS-B to select targets, and the ACARS to gather information about the onboard computer as well as to exploit its vulnerabilities by delivering spoofed malicious messages that affect the "behaviour" of the plane.
Teso has developed the SIMON framework that is deliberately made only to work in a virtual environment and currently cannot be used on real-life aircraft.
He said it is nearly impossible to detect the framework once deployed on the Flight Management System, there is no need to disguise it like a rootkit.

Bandits Storm Katsina Community, Abduct Village Head
Gunmen suspected to be bandits Friday morning kidnapped the Village Head of Radda community, Alhaji Kabir Umar, in Charanchi Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The hoodlums were said to have stormed the residence of the traditional ruler at about 2:42am and shot his younger brother, Aminu Umar, before abducting the monarch.
Radda community is the hometown of the Director-General of Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN), Dr. Dikko Umar Radda.
An eyewitness, Zubairu Khalifa, who spoke to THISDAY in a telephone interview on Friday, said the victim was still asleep when the bandits, numbering 10, invaded the town and moved straight to his residence.
He said: "Today (Friday) at about 2:42am some armed Fulani people riding on motorcycles attacked our community and kidnapped our Village Head, Alhaji Kabir Umar, and injured his younger brother, Aminu Umar. As we speak, Aminu Umar has been taken to orthopaedic hospital in Katsina.
"They came to the town on motorcycles and started shooting sporadically and asking people where is the residence of the village head. We heard one of them saying he knew Alhaji Kabir's residence. A few minutes after, we heard his younger brother shouting for help."
He said the incident has been reported to the police in the area and they (police) had visited the scene of the attack and are currently in the bush with some vigilantes in search of the abducted victim.
The police was yet to react to the incident as at the time of this report.
