VMware Patches VM Escape Flaw Disclosed at Chinese Hacking Contest
By Eduard Kovacs on November 09, 2018
VMware informed customers on Friday that patches are available for a critical virtual machine (VM) escape vulnerability disclosed recently by a researcher at the GeekPwn2018 hacking competition.
Organized by the security team of Chinese company Keen Cloud Tech, GeekPwn is a hacking competition that in the past years has led to the discovery of many important vulnerabilities. The competition has been held in China since 2014, but starting with 2017 there has also been an event in the United States.
GeekPwn2018 took place in Shanghai, China, on October 24-25, and its initial prize pool was $800,000.
One of the most interesting entries in the contest came from a researcher at China-based security firm Chaitin Tech, who discovered a guest-to-host escape vulnerability affecting several VMware products. He also identified a less severe information disclosure bug.
Shortly after the VM escape exploit was demonstrated, Chaitin Tech wrote on Twitter that it was the first time anybody managed to escape VMware ESXi and get a root shell on the host system. The company posted a short video showing the exploit in action.
VMware on Tuesday informed customers that it had been provided the details of the vulnerabilities and on Friday it published an advisory describing the flaws and available patches.
According to the virtualization giant, the vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2018-6981 and CVE-2018-6982, are caused by an uninitialized stack memory usage bug in the vmxnet3 virtual network adapter.
CVE-2018-6981 affects ESXi, Fusion and Workstation products, and it can allow a guest to execute arbitrary code on the host, while CVE-2018-6982, which only impacts ESXi, can result in an information leak from the host to the guest. VMware pointed out that the vulnerabilities are only present if the vmxnet3 adapter is enabled – other adapters are not impacted.
VMware has released patches and updates for both vulnerabilities.
It's worth noting that Chaitin Tech researchers have also earned significant prizes at ZDI's Pwn2Own hacking competition in the past years. It's unclear how much they earned for the VMware product vulnerabilities disclosed at GeekPwn.

The City Gate office building takes its name from its central location: the building acts as a gateway to the heart of Budapest. Built between 1996 and 1999, the structure was completely renovated in 2004.
It is an office complex comprising three buildings (City Gate 1, 2 and 3) arranged around a green courtyard and offering total effective area of approximately 25,500 sqm. Glazed towers connected by an underground car park are clearly visible from the street. Spacious offices promise tenants maximum flexibility and numerous possible configurations, from single offices to open-plan arrangements.
Located between Corvin-negyed station and Kálvin square in the 9th district of Budapest, the City Gate office building is easily reached from all parts of the city, either by public transport or by car. Ferenc Liszt International Airport is just 20 minutes from City Gate. The infrastructure around the complex is highly advantageous; Ráday Street, for instance, is ideal for a lunch break or shopping trip.

Q: PHP Fatal error: Class 'Microsoft\BingAds\Auth\OAuthWebAuthCodeGrant' not found I am trying to install BingAds API and I keep getting the error

PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Microsoft\BingAds\Auth\OAuthWebAuthCodeGrant' not found

I checked the composer file it looks OK.
{
    "name": "microsoft/bingads",
    "description": "This project provides a set of PHP client libraries that make it easy to access Bing Ads service APIs.",
    "keywords": [ "php", "bingads", "bing ads", "sdk" ],

            "homepage": "https://github.com/BingAds/BingAds-PHP-SDK/graphs/contributors"
        }
    ]
}

Also, the OAuth2Callback.php files look fine I am calling the namespace on the header as use Microsoft\BingAds\Auth\OAuthWebAuthCodeGrant; and later it calls the class OAuthWebAuthCodeGrant() on the line that gives the error.
The file structure is like:
- BingAds-PHP-SDK-master
- - OAuth2Callback.php
- - WebAuthHelper.php
- - composer.json
- - composer.lock
- - /samples
- - /src
- - /vendor

Does anybody have any clues? I am new with namespaces, not completely sure how it works. Thanks!

A: Can you share more details about OAuth2Callback.php? Have you tried this web app walkthrough? If you are running this locally in a console then I suggest starting with this console walkthrough.

A: Recently, I downloaded V13 source code from https://github.com/BingAds/BingAds-PHP-SDK, because the command "composer require microsoft/bingads" from the instruction only sending me the V12 not V13.
I got same error: PHP Fatal error: Class 'Microsoft\BingAds\Auth\OAuthWebAuthCodeGrant' not found.
Compared to the composer.json.
in V13:
"autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "Microsoft\BingAds\": "/src/"
        }
    },
and in v12:
"autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "Microsoft\BingAds\": "src/"
        }
    },
after updated the path from "/src/" to "src/", ran "composer update" and it works.

Consider: Being Captain of the Atlas comes with more paperwork than Shiro was anticipating, and he tends to procrastinate until he ends up with two or three full office days. His body isn't used to sitting for that long, so his back and shoulders ache terribly after just one day.
Keith notices how stiffly Shiro is moving, because of course he does, and asks what's up. Shiro explains, a bit sheepishly, and says maybe he's just getting old and needs to see a chiropractor.
Keith reaches out and gives Shiro's shoulders a squeeze, then pauses at what he feels there.
"Jesus, Shiro, you might need a chiropractor but you /definitely/ need a massage. You're tense as hell."
"Probably," Shiro admits. "I'll have to try to make time for it."
I have a WIP I need to finish, so logically I must start a new #sheith thread
I guess it *could* be a S8 fix it of sorts, but I'm ignoring both the epilogue and Allura dying, so.... more canon-divergent. Here there be angst, but there'll be a happy ending, I promise.
After Keith and the other paladins fall from the sky, Shiro doesn't leave the hospital for days. He checks in on all of them, of course, but he stays with Keith. He attends meetings remotely, answers questions, and writes his upcoming speech, all from Keith's bedside.
It's hard to see him like this, so pale and still, but it would be even harder to /not/ be there. As the other paladins wake up, one by one, Shiro is happy for them, but becomes quietly more and more worried about Keith, who hasn't stirred.
Kika✨Commissions Open!
I've been putting this off forever so lemme just dive in and see where it goes...
#sheith Beauty and the Beast AU. No idea what rating yet.
Garrison is a normal town. Disgustingly normal, even. It has a normal mayor, normal sheriff, norma baker, normal tailor, normal blacksmith.
Well... mostly normal blacksmith. Some might say he's odd just by virtue of who his son is — Keith Kogane.
Keith is probably the one truly odd thing about Garrison. The thing is, no one can quite put their finger on /why/ he's so odd. Sure, he's a bit of a loner, but something has always set him apart as different.
Not that Keith cares. He's got his dad, and that's all he needs.

#sheith thread — Shiro suddenly becomes a single parent. Keith helps him cope.
(This is probably gonna get longer than I intend, and no idea what the rating will be. Here we gooooo)
After the end of the war, there's a lot of triage to do on Earth. Governments fell, infrastructures crumbled, and the human population was decimated by the Galra. There's a lot of work to be done, but one of the top priorities is reuniting families.
After all, it's hard to convince people to help get power and water utilities working when they're focused on finding which, if any, surviving relatives they might have. People are invited to register as survivors, and families start to come together as pieces fall into place.

Where To Bet King of Glory Online
WhereToBet.Net > Where to Bet eSports Online > Where To Bet King of Glory Online
Taking a look at the King of Glory, or KOG, online battle arena game, we'll now break down how you can make the most out of this particular eSport when betting.
Run by the Chinese company Tencent, King of Glory started in 2015, and would later come to North America and Europe in 2017. Owned by the company that also holds the rights to League of Legends (through their American developer Riot Games), this is a far more fast paced version of LoL for the mobile market. Since its initial inception, it's also become a huge eSport in its own right, bringing in players from all around the world.
Largely centered around the King Pro League, or KPL, the King of Glory eSports franchise is managed by Tencent themselves. Mainly based in China since 2015, they have started to make a move on the western markets, branching out in 2017. This has brought a whole range of different exciting bets with it, as we'll now look at in greater detail.
Where To Bet King of Glory Online:
America: For everyone in North America, you should find that Bovada is your best choice when it comes to betting on King of Glory. Usually focusing on the 'King Pro League' they have the widest selection available at any given time. They're also easy to use, with it being simple to find your way around as well.
Everywhere Else: Outside of North America internationally, the online sportsbook Bet365 Sportsbook is your best bet when it comes to KOG and eSports. Providing the widest range of props and bets, it allows the player to really customize their wagers. Not only that, but it's also really simple to use again.
Where To Make Specific King of Glory Bets:
KOG Handicap: Much like in the NFL, NBA etc – often there will be matchups where one team is heavily favoured. Point spreads have made their way to KOG and you can bet on handicaps in KOG games.
KOG KPL Spring Playoffs: In this article I talk about the KOG KPL Spring Playoffs, how to bet them online and the best online sportsbooks to bet the spring playoffs.
How To Bet King of Glory:
Bovada: Heading over to the 'Sports' section, you should find 'E-Sports' down the left side of the page. From here go up to the top and click on the drop-down menu titled 'All E-Sports', choosing 'Other E-Sports' underneath. There should then be 'King of Glory' further down the page, with such events as the 'King Pro League' to bet on.
Bet365 Sportsbook: From the left-hand side of the first page, you should pick the tab marked 'Esports', taking you into the site itself. You will then see all the games down the middle of the page and KOG should be half way down, with its various events. Underneath each league/tournament are a set of betting options that you can then select, with a total of eight for one coupon.
What King of Glory Bets/Props Are There?
Whilst the bets mainly focus on overall bets, such as general match results, there are some props like giving the 'correct score'. The props themselves usually mark out such wagers as 'team to draw first blood' and 'team to destroy the first tower'. There's also the bets regarding map scores too, all of which you can combine for better, more profitable stakes.
Common King of Glory Betting Questions:
Can my LoL skills transfer easily?
With an extremely similar layout and format it stands to reason that many have drawn comparisons between League of Legends and KOG. Both coming through Tencent, KOG aims to capture the mobile oriented market, aiming at more of a fast paced style of play with shorter matches. This has brought it to a whole different demographic of gamers, but it still retains its roots in LoL, something which the more seasoned veteran should be able to capitalize on.
Where To Watch King of Glory Online:
Whilst it's not so well covered for western audiences as of yet, you can get live-streams at pvp.qq.com although it's largely in Chinese. Older games should be available through YouTube.
King of Glory Betting Strategy:
As with any team based game it's the players individually that are instrumental to the success of their team as a whole. That's why it's up to you to analyze any potential weak links in the squad, whilst also predicting how they'll fare against any opposing players. Watch online for their strengths and weaknesses, as you can look at many of their older games on YouTube.
Keep up-to-date by paying close attention to any news and announcements, most of which you can find through various English forums. These will then give you an insiders knowledge of the game and what you'll need, allowing you to enjoy a more financially rewarding series of games.

Q: Are "unit-relevant" CSS property values with prepended zeroes equivalent to the corresponding "no-zeroes-prepended" values? I was scanning some stylesheets when I noticed one which used a linear-gradient with rgba() color-stops in which the rgba numbers used multiple instances of 0 instead of just a single 0:
background-image:linear-gradient(to top left, rgba(000,000,000,0.1),rgba(100,100,100,1));

I hadn't seen multiple zeroes (instead of a single zero) occupying a single slot in the rgb/a color space before, but confirmed on CodePen this is valid. I then looked up the W3C definition of number here.
To make a long story short, after some more poking and digging, I didn't realize I could prepend an indeterminate number of zeroes to a length and get the same result as with no zeroes prepended, like this:
/* The two squares generated have equivalent width and height of 100px - for giggles, I also extended the same idea to the transition-duration time */

It's difficult to directly verify these numbers are equivalent representations, because using a scripting language:
/* PHP */
$x = 100;
$y = 00000000000100; // problem is PHP treats this as an octal number

echo ($x == $y) ? 'true' : 'false'; // echoes the string ---> false

/* Javascript */
var x = 100;
var y = 00000000000100; // also treats this as an octal number

var res = (x == y) ? 'true' : 'false';
alert(res); // alerts ---> false

These examples suggest to me that CSS does not treat e.g. 0000100 as an octal number, but rather as a decimal (or at least as non-octal numbers) since the magnitude of the width, height, and transition-duration for the html elements generated above appear to be identical.
Extending this CSS approach to any property and any unit, e.g., time,
Is any unit-containing CSS property value prepended with any positive number of zeroes syntactically equivalent to the same value without any prepended zeroes?

A: I have to admit I found this question interesting.
https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html
The css 2 syntax spec says:
num     [0-9]+|[0-9]*\.[0-9]+

Note that 000000000000000037.3 meets this rule and definition, a series of numbers between 0 and 9, optionally followed by a . and a further series of numbers from 0 to 9.
The css 3 spec goes on:
https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#numbers

4.2. Real Numbers: the  type
Number values are denoted by <number>, and represent real numbers,
  possibly with a fractional component.
When written literally, a number is either an integer, or zero or more
  decimal digits followed by a dot (.) followed by one or more decimal
  digits and optionally an exponent composed of "e" or "E" and an
  integer. It corresponds to the  production in the CSS
  Syntax Module [CSS3SYN]. As with integers, the first character of a
  number may be immediately preceded by - or + to indicate the number's
  sign.

https://www.w3.org/TR/css-syntax-3/#convert-a-string-to-a-number
This I believe roughly explains how a css parser is supposed to take the css value and convert it to a number:

4.3.13. Convert a string to a number
This section describes how to convert a string to a number . It
  returns a number.
Note: This algorithm does not do any verification to ensure that the
  string contains only a number. Ensure that the string contains only a
  valid CSS number before calling this algorithm.
Divide the string into seven components, in order from left to right:
A sign: a single U+002B PLUS SIGN (+) or U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS (-), or the empty string. Let s be the number -1 if the sign is U+002D
  HYPHEN-MINUS (-); otherwise, let s be the number 1.
An integer part: zero or more digits. If there is at least one digit, let i be the number formed by interpreting the digits as a
  base-10 integer; otherwise, let i be the number 0.
A decimal point: a single U+002E FULL STOP (.), or the empty string.
A fractional part: zero or more digits. If there is at least one digit, let f be the number formed by interpreting the digits as a
  base-10 integer and d be the number of digits; otherwise, let f and d
  be the number 0.
An exponent indicator: a single U+0045 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E (E) or U+0065 LATIN SMALL LETTER E (e), or the empty string.
  (-), or the empty string. Let t be the number -1 if the
  sign is U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS (-); otherwise, let t be the number 1.
An exponent: zero or more digits. If there is at least one digit, let e be the number formed by interpreting the digits as a base-10
  integer; otherwise, let e be the number 0.
Return the number s·(i + f·10-d)·10te.

I think the key term there is a base-10 number.
Note that for other possible situations where the starting 0 is meaningful, you have to escape it for it to function as something other than a simple number, I believe, if I read this spec right:
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-syntax-3/#escaping

Any Unicode code point can be included in an identifier or quoted
  string by escaping it. CSS escape sequences start with a backslash
  (\), and continue with:
Any Unicode code point that is not a hex digits or a newline. The escape sequence is replaced by that code point.
Or one to six hex digits, followed by an optional whitespace. The escape sequence is replaced by the Unicode code point whose value is
  given by the hexadecimal digits. This optional whitespace allow
  hexadecimal escape sequences to be followed by "real" hex digits.
An identifier with the value "&B" could be written as \26 B or \000026B.
A "real" space after the escape sequence must be doubled.

However, even here it appears the starting 0's are optional, though it's not crystal clear.
The CSS specs were while obtuse fairly clear, which isn't always the case. So yes, numbers are made from strings of digits, and can have decimals as well, and are base 10, so that means the leading zeros are simply nothing.
I speculate as well that because the specs further state that no units are required when the number value is 0, that in fact, a leading zero may mean null, nothing, internally, though obviously you'd have to look at css parsing code itself to see how that is actually handled by browsers.
So that's kind of interesting. I think that probably because css is a very simple language, it doesn't do 'clever' things like php or javascript do with leading zeros, it simply does what you'd expect, treat them as zeros, nothing.
Thanks for asking though, sometimes it's nice to go back and read the raw specs just to see how the stuff works.

Is It Good? Manifest Destiny #8 Review – AiPT!
Manifest Destiny returns this week (I wish it was last week when there was a lull in books) and last time, we left off on a giant killer frog taking the crew. Crazy? Yes! Awesome? Quite possibly. We'll find out now with this issue, won't we? Is it good?
So yeah, killer frog in the water! This recent gigantic creature attack has ended up separating the expedition into two separate groups. Clark and his group are stranded on the shore with no way to get back onto the ship because they can't get into the water. Lewis and his group are stranded on the ship with nowhere to go due to the ship being lodged on another strange arc, similar to the one they saw in the first issue, that's just under the water. So what can they do now?
Giant frog eyes naturally glow underwater. Jeez, don't you people know your biology?
In comparison to how I felt about the last issue, I'm much more excited and energized after reading this and really want to see more. This issue felt like it had more going on and like the main focus/story has really gotten started with the characters having this new dilemma that they have to face. They are essentially stuck between a rock and a hard place, with little idea on what they can do now. It really makes you interested in how they'll resolve this problem and also what they'll now have to deal with after that nasty cliffhanger. The story, admittedly, slows down slightly in the middle, but it does do a quick rebound to keep it going without it dragging a bit.
The writing in turn here was very nice like what is to be expected. I am a little disappointed that it didn't have as much character development or characterization for the main players. Sacajawea, who has been a bit underused, does get some good characterization and development, showing how intelligent and brave she is here. Everyone else is a bit of a non-character to a certain degree, just sort of there as fodder essentially (didn't care for one element of the ending because of that and there being little development). Pacing is decent enough, structure is fine, and it never has anything that conflicts with the tone. All in all: problems, but still a lot of good to be found here.
The artwork looks great and really seems to outdo itself at times. Besides the decent characters and well-drawn depictions of the locations (though some backgrounds leave a bit to be desired), the layouts and attention to the detail in the creatures are phenomenal. The attack scenes look incredible and I love how some of even the smaller moments are given some neat layout choices (the speech that both Clark and one of his men give at the same time at different locations really flows well and looks great). I can't really get much into the creature design and looks here, but again, it looks amazing and makes them extremely creepy. This is easily top-notch work that really adds so much onto the book.
Manifest Destiny #8 is another fantastic issue for the series, making it one of Image's most underrated books they are publishing. The story is really heating up now as the big conflict for the arc rears its ugly, but amazingly drawn head. The writing is strong and artwork is gorgeous overall. Still highly recommended and worth your time checking out.

Q: How to Run PostgreSQL by using Docker Goal:
Run Postgres in docker by pulling postgres from docker hub (https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres)
Background:
I get a message when I tried running docker with postgres
Error: Database is uninitialized and superuser password is not specified.
You must specify POSTGRES_PASSWORD to a non-empty value for the
superuser. For example, "-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password" on "docker run".

I got info at https://andrew.hawker.io/dailies/2020/02/25/postgres-uninitialized-error/ about why.
Problem:
"Update your docker-compose.yml or corresponding configuration with the POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD environment variable to revert back to previous behavior or implement a proper password." (https://andrew.hawker.io/dailies/2020/02/25/postgres-uninitialized-error/)
I don't understand the solution about how to solve the current situation.
Where can i find the dokcer-compose.yml?
Info:
*I'm newbie in PostGre and Docker

A: If you need to run PostgreSQL in docker you will have to use a variable in docker run command like this :
$ docker run --name some-postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -d postgres

The error is telling you the same.
Read more at https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres

A: Docker-compose.yml is just another option. You can run it just by docker run like in first answer. If you want use docker-compose, in documentation is example of it:
stack.yaml
version: '3.1'

services:

  db:
    image: postgres
    restart: always
    environment:
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: example

  adminer:
    image: adminer
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8080:8080

and run: docker-compose -f stack.yml up.
Everything is here:

Debate takeaways: Warren assaulted, 70s club prevents age concern
A dozen Democratic presidential candidates participated in a perky dispute over health care, taxes, weapon control and impeachment. Takeaways from the three-hour online forum in Westerville, Ohio:
WARREN'S RISE BRINGS IN ATTACKS
Sen. Elizabeth Warren found Tuesday that her rise in the polls might include a steep cost. She's now a clear target for attacks, especially from more moderate challengers, and her numerous strategies are now undergoing much sharper analysis.
Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg knocked her for not acknowledging, as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has, that middle-class taxes would increase under the single-payer health insurance she and Sanders favor.
" At least Bernie's being sincere with this," Klobuchar said.
" I do not think the American individuals are wrong when they say what they desire is an option," Buttigieg informed Warren. His strategy keeps personal insurance coverage however would enable people to buy into Medicare.
Candidates likewise caught Warren's suggestion that just she and Sanders wish to take on billionaires while the remainder of the field wishes to protect them. Former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke informed Warren it didn't seem as though she wished to lift people up and she is "more concentrated on being punitive."
And they stacked onto her signature proposal, a 2%wealth tax to raise the trillions of dollars needed for a lot of her ambitious propositions. Innovation business owner Andrew Yang kept in mind that such a measure has failed in almost every European country where it's been tried.
Sen. Kamala Harris of California even pursued Warren for not backing Harris' call for Twitter to prohibit President Donald Trump.
THAT 70 s SHOW
The stage consisted of 3 70- something prospects who would be the earliest individuals ever chosen to a first term as president– including 78- year-old Sanders, who had a cardiac arrest this month. Mediators asked all three how they could get the job done. None actually resolved the question.
Sanders welcomed the public to a major rally he's preparing in New York City next week and vowed to take the battle to business elites.
Biden promised to launch his medical records prior to the Iowa caucuses next year and stated he was running due to the fact that the country needs an older statesman in the White House after Trump.
Warren, whose project has actually highlighted her hours-long sessions presenting for selfies with fans, promised to "out-organize and outlast" any other candidate, consisting of Trump. Then she pivoted to her campaign argument that Democrats need to put forth concepts rather than return to the past, a dig at Biden.
ONE VOICE ON IMPEACHMENT
The opening concern was a batting practice fastball for the Democratic prospects: Should Trump be impeached?
They remained in steadfast contract. All 12 of them. Mainly with variations on the word "corrupt" to explain the Republican president.
Warren was asked first if citizens ought to choose whether Trump needs to remain in workplace. She reacted, "There are choices that are bigger than politics."
Biden, who followed Sanders, offered an unusual admission: "I agree with Bernie."
The only tip of dissonance originated from Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, who was among the last Democratic Home members to back an impeachment inquiry. She regreted that some Democrats had been calling for Trump's impeachment considering that right after the 2016 election, weakening the celebration's case versus him.
KLOBUCHAR: MINNESOTA NOT-SO-NICE
Klobuchar has actually faded into the background in previous debates, however she stood out on the congested stage.
She also went on the attack. She scolded Yang for seeming to compare Russian disturbance in the 2016 election to U.S. diplomacy. But her primary barbs were booked for Warren. "I appreciate Elizabeth's work but, again, the distinction between a plan and a pipe dream is something you can really get done," she stated.
After Warren appeared to suggest other prospects were securing billionaires, Klobuchar struck. "No one on this phase wishes to secure billionaires," Klobuchar said. "Even the billionaire doesn't desire to secure billionaires."
That was a reference to financier Tom Steyer, who had concurred with Sanders' condemnation of billionaires and called for a wealth tax– despite the fact that his wealth funded his last-minute campaign to clear the argument thresholds and appear Tuesday night.
Klobuchar likewise powerfully condemned Trump's abandonment of the Kurds in Syria.
BOOKER THE PEACEMAKER
New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker has actually been trying to campaign on the power of love and unity. It hasn't risen him to the top of the polls, but it drew possibly the most significant cheers from the crowd Tuesday night.
As prospects quarrelled over their tax plans, Booker shut it down.
" We have actually got one shot to make Donald Trump a one-term president and how we discuss each other in this dispute actually really matters," Booker stated. "Tearing each other down due to the fact that we have a different plan is unacceptable."
Later, as candidates tussled over diplomacy and Syria, Booker once again attempted to bring the argument back to morals. "This president is turning the moral leadership of this nation into a dumpster fire," he stated, before introducing into a furious condemnation of Trump's diplomacy.
The New Jersey senator's failure to break out of the pack has actually puzzled Democrats who long saw him as a top-tier governmental prospect.

Death toll climbs to 9 in human trafficking case: Here's what we know
Driver in custody, facing state and federal charges
SAN ANTONIO – The death toll in a "horrific" human trafficking case has now climbed to nine, federal officials announced Sunday afternoon.
Eight people were initially found dead and another 31 people were taken to area hospitals after they were found trapped in the trailer of an 18-wheeler in a Wal-Mart parking lot early Sunday morning.
One of the 31 taken to an area hospital has died, officials said.

Federal and local are investigating, but in the meantime, here's what we know:
A Wal-Mart employee alerted police
A Wal-Mart employee called San Antonio police around 12:30 a.m. Sunday after a disoriented man approached him asking for water. The Wal-Mart is located at 8358 Interstate 35 South on the city's southwest side.
8 were found dead at the scene, another other 30 were hospitalized -- 1 more has died at the hospital
The cause of death is believed to be from a combination of heat exposure and asphyxiation. First-responders found the 30 survivors "hot to the touch" and showing signs of heat stroke and dehydration.
Seventeen people were taken to area hospitals on Priority 1 status: life threatening injury/illness. Thirteen others were taken on Priority 2 status: not immediately life-threatening.
KSAT Meteorologist Kaiti Blake shows how hot a vehicle can get inside:
2 of the 30 taken to area hospitals are school-aged children
Police said those two are believed to be about 15 years old. The others are in their 20s and 30s. Investigators have yet to determine their country of origin or destination.
'Human trafficking crime'
Police have the driver of the 18-wheeler in custody. The driver is facing state and federal charges.
Surveillance footage could lead to more arrests
"Checking the video from the store, we found a number of vehicles that came in and picked up a lot of the folks that were in that trailer (who) survived the trip," McManus said.
Federal investigators are involved
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security officials have also been called in to investigate

Five Bridges Suite oder Five Bridges ist das vierte Musikalbum der britischen Progressive-Rock-Band The Nice und gleichzeitig deren erstes Livealbum, das im Juni 1970 bei Charisma Records erschienen ist. Die meisten Titel des Albums wurde am 17. Oktober 1969 live in den Fairfield Halls im Londoner Stadtteil Croydon aufgezeichnet, wohingegen der Titel Country Pie am 20. Dezember 1969 im The Filmore East in Manhattan, New York City, und One of Those People 1969 im Trident Studio, London aufgenommen wurden.

Hintergrund
Das Werk wurde für das Newcastle Arts Festival in Auftrag gegeben und am 10. Oktober 1969 mit einem großen Orchester unter der Leitung von Joseph Eger uraufgeführt. Der Titel bezieht sich auf die fünf Brücken von Newcastle upon Tyne, die den Fluss Tyne überspannten. Seither wurden zwei weitere Brücken über den Fluss gebaut, darunter die Gateshead Millennium Bridge. Das Albumcover stammt von der Grafikagentur Hipgnosis und zeigt ein Bild der Tyne Bridge.

Musikstil
Die Five Bridges Suite ist eine Suite in fünf Sätzen:
 Fantasia 1st Bridge: Orchester mit Solo-Klaviereinlagen von Keith Emerson
 2nd Bridge: The Nice ohne Orchester
 Chorale 3rd Bridge: Lee Jacksons Gesang mit Orchester, abwechselnd mit Klaviereinlagen von The Nice
 High Level Fugue 4th Bridge: Klavier mit begleitendem Schlagzeug
 Finale 5th Bridge: Eine Wiederholung der 2nd Bridge mit zusätzlichen Jazz-Hornbläsern

Für das Werk verwendete Keith Emerson Walter Pistons bekanntes Lehrbuch für Orchestrierung. Die Inspiration für die High Level Fugue, welche Jazz-Figuren in streng klassischer Form verwendet, schreib er dem österreichischen Pianisten Friedrich Gulda zu.

Auf dem Five Bridges-Album sind ebenfalls Liveaufnahmen des Intermezzos von Jean Sibelius und einem Satze aus Tschaikowskys Sinfonie Nr. 6 "Pathétique" in h-Moll  aus demselben Konzert in der Fairfield Hall enthalten. In beiden Fällen spielte das Orchester die klassische Musik und stellte sie den Interpretationen der Band gegenüber.

Des Weiteren sind auf dem Album ebenfalls Interpretationen aus Bob Dylans Country Pie und Johann Sebastian Bachs 6. Brandenburgisches Konzert mit einem Zitat von Coleman Hawkins Jazzstück Rifftide, sowie eine Studioaufnahme des Originals One of Those People enthalten.

Neu entdecktes Material aus diesem Konzerten wurde später als Teil des 2000 erschienen 3er CD-Set Here Come the Nice: Immediate Anthology  veröffentlicht.

CD Edition von 1990 (Charisma/Virgin)

Rezeption
Paul Stump bezeichnet das Album in seiner 1997 erschienenen History of Progressive Rock als "schlecht konzipiert" und kommentierte, dass "die orchestrierten Stücke schlecht ineinandergreifen, wobei die Rockband und das Orchester entweder getrennt voneinander spielen, wie bei den ersten Sätzen der The Five Bridges Suite oder so, dass die Texturen beider Genres nicht richtig genutzt werden; es ist, als würde man zwei Transistorradios gleichzeitig spielen hören …" Dennoch nannte er die letzten beiden Stücke als die besten Werke von The Nice und führte aus, dass "[One of Those People] vielleicht die wahre Gabe von The Nice veranschaulicht: Popformen auf ihre Bestandteile zu reduzieren, ihr horizontales Profil zu verändern, indem Absätze gekürzt und erwartete Akkord- und Rhythmusfolgen umgestoßen werden, was Emerson ebenso die Möglichkeit gibt, seine beachtliche Technik ohne Rückgriff auf Prahlerei zu zeigen." Dagegen argumentiert Mike DeGagnes auf AllMusic in seiner rückblickenden Rezension, dass Intermezzo und Pathetique "wunderbare Beispiele für die Vermischung von Klassik und Rock sind" und dass auf dem gesamten Album "jedes Beispiel für die Verschmelzung von Genres makellos und fließend ist, was die tatsächliche Überschneidung mehrerer Stile völlig transparent macht."

Fringe (II)
First run on 2010.05.19
From J.J. Abrams (Lost), Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci - the team behind Star Trek and Alias - and executive producers Jeff Pinkner, J.H. Wyman and Bryan Burk, FRINGE returns for a second thrilling season and will continue to explore the unexplained phenomena and terrifying occurrences linked throughout the world - known simply as "The Pattern" - in pursuit of a larger, more shocking truth.
Set in Boston, the FBI's Fringe Division formed when Special Agent OLIVIA DUNHAM (Anna Torv) enlisted the help of institutionalized "fringe" scientist WALTER BISHOP (John Noble) and his son, PETER (Joshua Jackson), to save her partner and lover from a mindbending death. Through unconventional and unorthodox methods, the
FRINGE team imagines and tests the impossibilities while investigating unbelievable events, macabre crimes and mystifying cases involving teleportation, reanimation, genetic mutation, precognition, artificial intelligence and other fantastical theories. When the unimaginable happens, it's their job to stop it.The first season closes with Olivia being introduced to the existence of a parallel universe and the ability to travel between the two worlds.
The intensity accelerates as season two opens with Olivia's shocking return to this reality, and a determined Peter, unknowingly in a race against time with an ominous mobile force, pursues information about Olivia's blurred and perplexing visit to the alternate reality. Each episode of the new season promises to uncover more about the larger threat, and while some questions will be answered, new ones will surface.

Tourism News / Organisations & Operators
Portugal partners with UNWTO for Tourism International Academy
Portugal Tourism, in association with the United Nations World Tourism Organisation, has announced the launch of the Tourism International Academy.
An ambitious tourism training project aimed at developing human capital in the sector in a sustainable and comprehensive manner, it will be based in Estoril.
The €24 million education facility will be born form the merger between campuses of the Portuguese Tourism School and the Estoril Higher School of Hospitality & Tourism.
The action plan, which was signed by the secretary general of the UNWTO, will see the TIA become part of the International School of Tourism within the academy of the UNWTO, with development expected to be completed by 2023.
The campus will incorporate modern facilities and equipment to cover all areas of training, from professional technical education to executive programs.
This includes a training centre for the UNWTO, a business incubator, the Macao Institute of Tourism and a student accommodation residency building which will have enough rooms to house 150 students.
Luís Araújo, president of Portugal Tourism, said: "The strategic location of the campus and the commitment to training will address major challenges in the sector, promoting Portugal as a destination for students and positioning our country as an international hub for the development of new projects in tourism.
"We believe that this is the right moment for the Tourism International Academy project to begin."
The aim of the new project is to create opportunities for the training of people from all over the world, which will be geared towards promoting Portugal as a destination for students and to position the country as an international hub for the development of new tourism projects.
It will also be open to tourism companies that wish to help promote Portugal as a destination for students whilst positioning the country as an international hub for the development of new tourism projects.
Speaking about the launch of the Tourism International Academy, Ana Mendes Godinho, secretary of state for tourism, Portugal, said: "This project is fundamental to recognise human resources in tourism and claim Portugal as the reference country for this and tourism training.
"We will have key partners in the UNWTO and the Macao Institute of Tourism Training, which will help in building bridges for people from all over the world.
"On the other hand, the project is also open to tourism companies that want to participate by bringing the response training closer to the needs of the search."

Today I was going to find out if there were going to be more stages in this year's Giro.
The intensive treatment had done me good, but I wasn't sure I would be able to cycle, let alone climb a mountain.
I planned a first stage from Bormio that was not too difficult – I did that when still at home, thinking I would need a "recovery" after the previous stage from Corvara to Bormio.
For his birthday, C. treated himself with another climb of the Stelvio on Mapei Day.
Hopefully, this weather will continue through tomorrow, because the 'Mapei Day' climb of the Stelvio will be more enjoyable, certainly since there also will be no motorized traffic during the event(s).

Saints QB Drew Brees wins $6.1M in diamond fraud lawsuit against California jeweler
By Bob D'Angelo, Cox Media Group National Content Desk
A jury in San Diego on Friday awarded New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees more than $6.1 million in damages in his civil lawsuit against a California jeweler the Saints star said misled him about the value of diamonds, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Superior Court jurors sided with Brees in his suit against Vihad Moradi of CJ Charles Jewelers last year, the newspaper reported. Brees and his wife, Brittany, alleged the La Jolla jeweler lied to them about the value of diamonds they bought as an investment, according to court documents.
The jury awarded Brees $6,130,767. The quarterback, who played for the San Diego Chargers from 2001 to 2005, was not in court for the decision, the Union-Tribune reported.
"The jury worked hard and saw Mr. Moradi as the confidence man that he is," Brees said in a joint statement with his attorney, Andrew Kim.
Moradi and his attorney, Kevin Rooney, said they "passionately disagree" with the verdict and intend to appeal, the New Orleans Advocate reported.
According to the lawsuit, Brees alleged Moradi valued the diamonds in question at $15 million, the Union-Tribune reported.
The diamonds were assessed to be worth millions of dollars less than $15 million, the newspaper reported.

Driverless vehicles - how they can revolutionise mobility in society
Solving important problems and building trust in society is our purpose and that's why we are so interested in how rapid technological change in the 4th industrial revolution could profoundly impact the auto industry and society.
We partnered with The Society for Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), one of the largest and most influential trade associations in the UK, who were looking to build on their existing research on Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) in the UK and explore both the human and social impact of CAVs on mobility in society.
SMMT has already identified a £51 billion economic opportunity to the UK, as well as the potential to prevent around 25,000 road accidents and save as many as 2,500 lives. New auto technologies have the power to boost mobility, but could they also positively impact areas such as access to health and education, and employment? To find out more, the study focused on some of society's most mobility-disadvantaged groups: young people, elderly people, and people with a disability.
"This was an important piece of research that shows the opportunities technology offers to reduce social exclusion. Six out of 10 (57%) people surveyed said Connected & Autonomous Vehicle technologies would improve their quality of life."
Cara Haffey, Industrial manufacturing and automotive leader, PwC UK
A team in Strategy&, PwC's strategy consulting arm, formulated a number of hypotheses relating to the social impact. We tested these with colleagues at SMMT and across our wider automotive team, and then used these as the foundation to create a comprehensive survey, with the help of our Research to Insight team (r2i).
On its launch, the survey had been completed by over 3,500 participants, including a booster group from a specialist disability panel, to ensure equal and robust coverage from each target group of society.
We then carried out extensive industry research and in-depth analysis of the results - the findings of which shaped the final report CAVS: Revolutionising Mobility in Society. SMMT presented the report findings at a parliamentary reception, as well as to an audience of more than 400 delegates from across industry - and over 40 members of the media - at the SMMT Connected 2017 conference. At both events Strategy& was represented by members of its automotive team.
"For the consumer, comprehension of the benefits of vehicles that are both connected and fully autonomous is limited only by their imagination."
Mark Couttie, Partner, Strategy&
Connected and autonomous features already exist and the race to fully driverless vehicles is underway. The innovation driving this is challenging both industry and government, whether in advancement of technologies or levels of investment – with iconic UK businesses at the heart of much of this.
Our new research was the first comprehensive UK-based study of the human impact of CAVs. We found that this new technology will offer freedom to some of society's most disadvantaged, including those with disabilities, older people and the young. What's more, the potential of CAVs to get more people into education, work, and enabling them to more freely access healthcare, amenities and leisure activities, could deliver a further economic boost.
Key findings from our research and analysis confirmed the need for CAVs, unravelled the intricacies of mobility needs depending on the audience, and identified specific benefits.
Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), for which commercial vehicles play a significant role in the development of new technology, will transform the lives of six out of every 10 people in the UK. They will provide the opportunity of improving access to tertiary education for more than one million young people. Increasing awareness of CAVS and their benefits will be important in order to achieve this. The report also provided a number of clear recommendations to ensure that we capitalise on this window of opportunity in the UK to positively impact mobility in society in the future, particularly for those who are most challenged today.

The Deputy Program
Once you've moved past the initial growing pains, the boundless possibilities of your interactions with your Deputies will begin to reveal themselves. In cases where you receive interest at the outset, you can continue to communicate with these engaged Deputies by asking other questions or following up on tips.
You should also take steps to connect with people who did not respond to the first broad interaction by asking targeted questions that relate directly to their communities. For instance, you could ask how a piece of proposed legislation might impact families they know. Or you could ask for a list of the top three concerns they hear from neighbors and friends. Whatever you end up asking, keep these inquiries pretty simple, as the purpose is to establish a basic workflow and gauge their response, not overwhelm your new Deputies.
It is out of these quasi-organic, SMS-based conversations that the benefits of the Deputy Program will blossom. By building rapport and showing that you care about what your Deputies have to say, you will build strong relationships with groups and individuals that will result in important discourse, informative exchanges, and – eventually – strong, community-driven journalism.
The maintenance of these relationships and the ongoing conversations with your Deputies will drive the success of your Deputy Program. It is critically important that you strike a balance between interacting with Deputies and allowing them to come to you. You will find that some people prefer limited communication, instead choosing to reach out when something strikes them as particularly important. Some Deputies will tell you this, and others will make it clear by their responses to your questions and callouts. Meanwhile, some folks will interact with the program regularly, but only when you call on them to do so. You can create subgroups of Deputies within GroundSource to tailor your interactions to these different approaches and styles.
And sometimes incentives can be the difference between a regular contributor and someone who does not interact with the program often. Incentives also help to drive and maintain interest among even the most dedicated Deputies. What incentives you choose to provide depends largely on your newsroom's resources, commitment to the program and other factors particular to your specific situation.
Simply inviting Deputies to come into the newsroom once every few months for pizza and face-to-face conversations with the program's leaders and fellow deputies can build interpersonal bonds that help to sustain and grow the effort. Offering T-shirts, mugs or other swag to the most engaged Deputies can create a "gamification" environment that leverages competition to motivate people to participate. What you provide as an incentive can be tweaked based on response levels and interest, but something as basic as including a line or graphic at the top or bottom of a story explaining that it arose out of the Deputy Program or a specific Deputy's tip can help build loyalty and drive participation and engagement.
In the end, the Deputy Program is a tool that will respond to what you put into it. If you simply sign up a few dozen Deputies and ask them broad questions from time to time, that will likely result in responses that could lead to important stories. If you engage more deeply, you could foster an environment of collaboration and community that produces even greater insights. And if you provide incentives, you could be well on your way to creating a Deputy-driven ecosystem that increases engagement, boosts your journalism and drives traffic to your properties via organic sharing and other avenues.
Whatever the Deputy Program ends up meaning for you, the result is a new source of information, interaction and insights that will help your newsroom better reflect its community. It's just up to you to make it happen.
Once again, please reach out to Deputy Program creator Connor Sheets (click this link for contact information) if you have any questions about the program or if you'd like any guidance along the way.

Introduction EMSL Analytical, Inc. offers testing services and test kits to identify lead and other common issues associated with a home's drinking water quality.
Earlier this year, The Arizona Republic published an article about the fact that many homebuyers and renters may not realize their prospective homes may have lead pipes or elevated levels of lead in its tap water.
The article discusses how there is a federal mandate from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for home sellers to disclose the presence of lead-based paints, but how there is not a national regulation that requires home sellers to tell prospective buyers or tenants about issues associated with lead pipes or water contaminated by lead. This lack of required disclosure on a national level could leave many people with potential health concerns and/or costly plumbing repairs to remove lead pipes, solder and fixtures that contain the toxic heavy metal.
In addition to comprehensive water testing services, EMSL offers a Drinking Water Test Kit that can be accessed at www.EMSLTestKits.com. EMSL also sponsored an educational video about lead in drinking water that can be seen at: http://youtu.be/2kvtAcpw1MY.
To learn more about lead testing or other environmental, health and safety services, please visit www.EMSL.com, call (800) 220-3675 or email info@EMSL.com.

Embrace of the Serpent
El abrazo de la serpiente
One of the best reviewed films of the year and a 2016 Academy Award-nominee, Ciro Guerra's multi award-winning EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT is a breathtaking cinematic odyssey through the Amazon, following the quests of two European explorers (one in 1909 and the other in the 1940's) in search of a rare flower alleged to have healing properties.
Inspired by the real-life journals kept by Theodor Koch-Grunberg (portrayed by Jan Bijvoet) and Richard Evans Schultes (Brionne Davis), the film charts each man's treacherous and life-changing journey. Though decades apart, both are guided through the labyrinthine rivers and jungles by the same native shaman, Karamakate (Nilbio Torres, and later Antonio Bolivar Salvado Yangiama), the last surviving member of his tribe, who takes them deeper and deeper into a heart of darkness...

In her first collaboration with Theatre makers, Les Enfants Terribles, and working for the second time with West End producer Emma Brünjes, Nina has designed video for the immersive promenade show 'Alice's Adventures Underground' at The Vaults under Waterloo Station.
The show comprises an inspired and subverted interpretation of Lewis Carroll's famous book which celebrates its 150th anniversary this year with 33 different installations that make up Wonderland, nearly a third of which of which incorporate video or projection work by Nina and her team.
Nina worked closely with with directors Oliver Lansley and James Seager and designer, Samuel Wyer to come up with the concept and remit for the video used in the show which ranged from stolen glimpses of Alice trapped in mirrors to photos that develop as if by magic; a giant zoetrope and a trippy shadowplay story narrated by the caterpillar in his hookah smoking mushroom lair not to mention a fair few talking moons.
The show has been nominated for an Olivier Awards in the category of Best Entertainment & Family Nina was awarded a Knight of Illumination for her work on the show and the Rabbit Hole installation will tour with the Lumen Prize Exhibition 2015/16 as a shortlisted entry.
The core on-site crew comprised a team of three, lead by video engineers Jon Lyle and Gillian Tan with Matthew Brown working as an associate throughout assisting Nina on both a creative and technical level. XL video provided the video systems and equipment.
Close collaboration with sound and lighting (Mike Gunning) was also key as ever and Tomas Gisby created some fantastic sound design and composition for the show including the track that accompanies the journey down the rabbit hole through the zoetrope.

Conservative MPs Michael Barrett and Pierre Poilievre hold a news conference on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on July 29, 2020. The federal Conservatives want MPs to create an anti-corruption committee to investigate the WE Charity issue.

Conservatives plan to press House of Commons ethics and finance committees to resume looking at the matter
The federal Conservatives want MPs to create an anti-corruption committee to investigate the WE Charity issue.
Tory ethics critic Michael Barrett says the new forum would press for answers to lingering questions about the controversy.
In the meantime, the Conservatives plan to press the House of Commons ethics and finance committees this week to resume looking at the matter.
They say the proposed new anti-corruption committee could soon take over the probe of the Liberal government's choice of WE Charity to administer the the multimillion-dollar Canada Student Service Grant program.
Opposition MPs have been grilling the government for months over the now-abandoned program because of WE Charity's close connections to the families of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Bill Morneau, the recently departed finance minister.
The Liberals have consistently said it was federal public servants who recommended the grant program be administered by the youth group, but the Conservatives say there are still unanswered questions.
"Canadians deserve answers," Barrett told a news conference Monday. "We deserve accountability."
The office of Liberal House leader Pablo Rodriguez noted that Trudeau, his chief of staff, the clerk of the Privy Council and various public servants have already appeared at committee.
The government will remain focused on protecting the health and safety of the public, the office said, adding: "Canadians deserve better than the Conservatives' partisan games."

15: Good for you, Boris Johnson, Mayor of London — for adding to the number who have or will renounce their US citizenship, *accidental* or otherwise!
Party political, but it shows the AAA's admirable campaign is having an impact well beyond France.
"..Jude Kirton-Darling MEP, who sits on the Petitions Committee in the European Parliament where these issues were first heard last year, has supported the petitions and wants to see a commitment across the whole of the EU to addressing the problem that has caused so much hardship to some EU citizens.
Thus showing that renegotiation of the IGAs is feasible.
As per http://isaacbrocksociety.ca/fatca-and-the-eu/comment-page-22/#comment-8633754, another crunch moment for the IGAs seems likely to arrive when/if banks start losing FATCA-compliant status because of missing SSNs/TINs.
An opportunity, perhaps, to petition the EU specifically to consider the damage done to EU banks and to EU citizens by the impossible demands of the current IGA1 due diligence; and also to consider in addition the gratuitous extra damage done to EU citizens by allowing banks to ignore the minimum-balance.
If the EU Parliament were to adopt a resolution recommending changes, it wouldn't be binding on the Council or the Commission, but it could increase the pressure from the Commission for the US to drop FATCA and sign up to CRS instead.
The exemption from having to collect SSN/TIN was granted a few years ago because banks were struggling to obtain this information from customers. The exemption supposedly runs out in 2020, but I would not be surprised if it were extended again for a few years because it's not like the US government has done anything to make it easier to obtain SSNs from abroad.
The banks are pleading for a permanent solution, and threatening account closures. I personally am sceptical that they could get away with closing an account if the accountholder filed a complaint, but of course most accountholders, for various reasons, probably won't do that.

Prime Minister Forever – Canada 2011 v. 1.2.7 has been released.
This fixes the problem with endorsers giving Ground Ops that then cost a huge amount, and makes a significant change to the high-score system.
Hello Anthony! I understand that it will be difficult to do this, but is there any chance that you will rework the game so that it is possible to achieve the same results as the actual election? I understand that the collapse of the bloc and dramatic rise of the NDP might be hard to simulate with the game engine, though I was wondering if this was a goal for the final design of the game. Will you do something like the 1993 election for Prime Minister Forever – Canada 2008 which featured the greatly weakened Progressive Conservatives.
Yes, BQ support can be weakened to reflect this – noted.


January 21, 1992 – The first details of a $150 million effort to create a new recreation center at Navy Pier are unveiled, showcasing "a glass-walled indoor park of palm trees, gazebos and fountains, dubbed the Crystal Gardens, and a three-story pavilion which will become the permanent home of the Chicago Children's Museum." [Chicago Tribune, January 22, 1992] Officials are particularly excited about the Children's Museum. The chairman of the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority board, John Schmidt, says, "The Children's Museum is very important because it's an anchor. It really sets a tone for the pier. It's a core of people and activities." Mayor Richard M. Daley, who is at the pier when the plans are announced, says that Navy Pier will become "a major center for family and recreational activity." As the photo above shows, before summer was over the long freight sheds between the pier's head house and Grand Ballroom on the east end would be gone and work on the new incarnation of the pier would begin.
I loved the story! I was reading an article on active air force bases. It's really helpful that now via online media every information regarding military bases can be found collectively. Isn't it really great?
