May : Lauren
Write this down, stick it everywhere, get it tattooed on you, whatever you need to do to remember this. No one is holding you to a version of yourself. One of the mother freaking gems of this life is being able to experiment, expand, retract, explore, grow and evolve. Whatever gets you closer to your truth.
I have to admit, not even a year ago I couldn't imagine me sending this message to world, let alone believing it and living by it. But today, these words are a daily dose of medicine to my aspiring soul and curious spirit. They are a constant reminder of what to do to be who I want to be and the roadmap to living my purpose.
Let me take a few steps back. I remember a time living my life with these constant sparks of things that excited my soul. They were quite obvious, but often I ignored them. This is sort of how it played out:
I would get a spark, I would instantly think of the most "far fetched" idea associated with it, deem it "silly and impossible" and therefore put it on the "impossible/fantasy shelf." This mechanism was my go-to because I truly believed that I couldn't change, or pursue anything too "outlandish" because I was who I was and at a certain point you lose your window to explore yourself.
At a certain point I fell into depression. I didn't feel myself. I felt trapped. I was using my mechanism so often that I wasn't evolving. I was stuck in an old version of myself that desperately needed to grow.
It wasn't until I started exploring small interests in my personal life, ones that didn't need to be so known to everyone (like celebrating my menstrual cycle with cloth pads instead of tampons,) that a shift began to happen. Once I started getting a response from within "I feel so me!" and from the universe "here's more..keep going!" the more I explored each desire with less fucks about what anyone else thought, because I finally felt like I was truly living within myself. It wasn't until I stoked those sparks that they became a huge pit of fire at my center, and I caught my reflection in the flames. Within that, I realized that growth and change itself, is a huge part of my truth - and absolutely necessary in order for my health, happiness and evolution.
And with that I realized that we can change, as much and as often as we want, so that the way we are living always feels aligned with that feeling deep deep down in our core. It is our birthright.
My days are now led by those shivers of energy that run up my spine, making my heart sing, to see where it leads me to.
So yeah, I quit a job that I spent lot of money and time learning for, that paid really well - regardless of being scared that my family was going to judge me - in order to follow that spark of doing something that makes my heart sing every day (even if it doesn't pay in money.)
So yeah, I left behind the old ways of gossiping, and comparing and competing with other women - regardless of being scared that my girlfriends were going to judge me - in order to follow that desire of finding my place in a tribe of sisters and feel connected with women.
So yeah, I walk around without a bra, geek out about my menstrual cycle, howl at the moon and talk about Goddesses - regardless of being scared that every single person I know is going to judge me and think I lost my shit - in order to achieve the freedom I desire, and to feel like a true wild woman.
In order to feel me.
And maybe some people are judging me. And that's ok, it doesn't bother me like it used it used to. Like Danielle Laporte says, "When you do stuff from the soul, people really dig that shit." Not everyone will understand you, but you will attract the tribe that does when you're living your truth. And those who truly love you, will continue to love you and celebrate you, in any version of yourself.
Our truth is our gift to the world, and as Marie Forleo has said, by holding back our truth/gifts, we are stealing from the people that need it most. Which is why I lead to inspire other women to follow their desires in order to live their truth. Because the world needs more of them.
Lauren is a VT native currently living in NYC. Her passions for learning and helping others leads her to work such as massage therapy, holding space for online sisterhood, and helping people turn their world changing ideas into projects. Her driving force is her passion for inspiring and supporting women in getting real about their desires and using them to live life that is uninhibited, wild and ecstatic, while also leading them to live healthier lives.
Her astrological profile sums her up quite perfectly - she's has the loyalty and earthy vibe of a Taurus, the curious spirit of a Gemini, and fiercely loves being in partnerships in work and life, like a Libra. Oh, and she's bestie's with her inner child.
In her free time she's off going on an adventure, finding a place to post up in her hammock, sipping wine, reading a book, playing in the kitchen, dancing to bad hip hop from her teens or blissfully eating a divine meal - probably asian. You can follow her happenings over on Instagram and Facebook.

Optimize Your Facebook Photos 2015
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Since this is especially true for social media, make sure you get the best results with the Facebook photos you post. Facebook is an ever-changing creature and it's important to be up-to-date with current standards. Here are a few important tips to keep your Facebook photo posts looking sharp:
When uploading an image to your timeline, Facebook automatically generates an image to fit within a 504px by 504px box. At the very least, make sure that each photo you upload is at least 504x504 to ensure the best resolution. If you upload a portrait or landscape photo, make sure that any important information you have on it is closer to the center (the viewable area).
It might come as a shock, but photo dimensions on your News Feed differ than ones on your Timeline. The max size for the News Feed is 470px by 394px. However, unlike Timeline images, your photo will not be cropped. It will be resized so the entire image is seen. When choosing a photo to upload, landscape formatted photos are ideal compared to portrait-oriented photos. Landscape photos ensure that there will not be any blank space on the left and right side of the post once it is auto-resized.
There are a few variations when posting a link with an image. The standard post consists of a full-size photo above the link and it is scaled to fit in a 484px by 252px box. Sometimes you only get a thumbnail photo to post. When the photo size is not large enough, it goes into a small box to the left of the link that is 155px wide. Which photo size you use is generally dependent on what photos are available to use via the link you post. Facebook does allow you to customize your link post and upload a separate photo if you would like to show a better image than what is available.
Although rarely seen, the thumbnail image for applications should be included to make your page more credible. The specific size is 114px by 74px. Images that aren't that size do not stretch-to-fit so make sure to upload the correct size.
Contrary to common belief, you should actually use PNG files over JPG files for Facebook photos. The simple reason is that when JPG images are uploaded and compressed, they selectively discard data, and this can result in a loss in quality of the photo. PNG files were actually developed for web-based viewing and don't have that problem when compressed.
Facebook compresses every photo you upload to be optimized for faster web loading time. It's a way they save space and allow for unlimited uploads with minimal loading delay. This affects the resolution of the photo. Pixelation, blurriness, and color bleeds can occur when uploading a larger size photo. Instead, upload images that are 100KB or less and they should look just like their original. In this case, bigger is not always better!
Want to geek out about social media and website photo optimization? Join the conversation @ThinPigMedia on Twitter (where the in-stream photo minimum is 440px by 220px).

It's not one of my favourite episodes, but my goodness, there are a lot of great hand shots in it.
Do you think your manicurist could fit me in?
Ah, the towelette thing.
The gizmo.
I'll have double-delicious with lashings of lashes, please.
Welcome to the world of the Vincent D'Onofrio obsessed - and a bit of real life thrown in.
Believe it or not, they both used to look much worse than this!
OK, apparently I loaded these wrong. Photobucket won't let me into my album, so I had to do this straight from the computer.
This path is between two beautiful streets where the richer members of Lewisham society reside. It's actually in Blackheath, parts of which are in the borough of Lewisham. As Ientered the path, two mounted police officers came out.
The second picture is from an almost derelict staircase leading from an observation platform preserved for its wonderful views over London. As you can see, it's a good hunting spot for cats!
Then there are two pictures of the views from this vantage point. I was desperate for a pee at this point, and the area was so deserted, I just squatted and watered the plants.
At the bottom of this section is one of the old houses on the old Earl of Dartmouth's estate.
Another 200-year-old house on the Dartmouth land.
This is a close-up of the blue plaque on the wall.
Now you know who to blame!
The Ranger's House was built to house the Ranger of Greenwich Park.
It now houses the Werner Collection, and amazing collection of jewellery and other fine pieces of gold and other precious stones and metals. Greenwich Park was close to the road the Romans built to the Kent coast. It's the same road that Chaucer's pilgrims used to go to Canterbury in the Canterbury Tales.
This was the hunting park for Greenwich Palace, where Henry VIII was born.
From this hill, beside the Royal Observatory, you can see the National Maritime Museum, with the Queen's House in the centre. I've made posts about these before. Beyond is the Royal Naval College, which is now part of the University of Greenwich. Then there is the Thames, and on the other side, the Isle of Dogs, with the tower blocks of the new business district at Canary Wharf.
To the left you can just make out the new big wheel, the Greenwich Eye.This view shows the Millennium Dome, or the O2 as it's now known. Ahm the 24-hour clock on the Prime Meridian at Greenwich,
the place where the day begins and ends.
It shows Greenwich Mean Time, which is an hour behind the current British Summer Time.There are some incredibly old trees in the park.
One of the problems discussed at the meeting was local shops. This one is subsiding round the back and the owners are supposed to put it right. If the Council has to do it, the owners will have to sell up to pay the charge on the property. That could take 2 years. Meanwhile...
The Ladywell Tavern isn't bad, though. I've never actually had a drink there (not much of a drinker even now smoking is banned) but it looks quite respectable.
Apart from the Playtower, the shops, crime and vandalism, my old favourite - traffic - was big on the agenda. It just didn't get much of a look-in, though, once the dominant member of the co-ordinating committee finished having everything explained twelve times over.
As for the purpose of the Assembly and the co-ordinating committee? The Assembly at its first meeting put forward these issues of concern. A Council employee collated them. Those of us who volunteered for the co-ordinating committee were supposed to prioritise them. Or not. Maybe we are supposed to sit at discussion tables at the next Assembly meeting and help those who attend to prioritise them. Then? They go to the Council, which doesn't actually have to do anything about them, except maybe claim lack of funds and bury them.
For this I missed Bobby.

HP Slate vs iPad
May 2
This ad was previously leaded. They forgot to add one thing though. The iPad is an actual device that you can buy while the HP Slate has will not be made. I don't know about you but I think a real product over vaporware gets the edge. Supposedly the reason the Slate was dropped was because of sluggish performance with the processor and Windows 7. A desktop and most new laptops runs Windows 7 quite nicely, but put it on an Atom processor and a device that needs to save power and no surprise that is a big fail. In other news Microsoft's Courier tablet is also now just vaporware and will also not be produced. These iPad killers decided that honorable thing to do was to kill themselves.
Even if produced there were never going to be tablets with sales like the iPad. There is a simple reason why Apple has succeeded with a Tablet computer where so many others have failed. Putting a touch interface on an existing OS just is not enough.
A couple things had to happen for a tablet to succeed:
- An Operating System created from the ground up with a touch interface.
- An ecosystem of application available to support the new OS. Having a technically superior OS is not enough. There has to be apps for people to use from day one.
Previous tables with Windows or Linux on them were failures mostly because they were desktop OS's ported over to a touch interface and so natively were not designed for that environment. I think if Apple had created a Tablet that ran OSX then that too would have been a failure – though would certainly have been loved by segments of the Mac community. It would certainly not have had the sales the iPad has gotten in my opinion.
The iPad succeeded because:
- The iPhone OS which while based on OSX was never intended to run OSX desktop apps. It was created from the ground up to support a touch interface
- The iPhone/iPod Touch app store created a very large ecosystem of applications so that not only could people run those applications immediately, but developers could also support the iPad resolution without a major redesign. So from day one iPad users had a wealth of apps to use with apps directly for the iPad being on the increase.
These are the primary reasons for the iPad's success. Though certainly credit has to be given both to Apple design and Apply hype. Many people wanted an iPad simply because they really enjoyed the user experience with the iPhone/iPod Touch and could easily imagine how that experience would be even better on a larger screen. I never cared about having a tablet computer – but this realization of how the interface would work on a larger screen hooked me in.
Though I also think there is now room for other successful tablet computers because the two main criteria I mentioned can be applied elsewhere. Android has a good touch interface which is also quite scalable to a tablet device. They also have a growing collection of Android apps and so when a solid Android Tablet appears their users will be able to really use the device from the start. HP's buying of Palm and thus WebOS also means that we might see a WebOS based tablet. Though the WebOS application ecology is still pretty small. Surely one of the reasons for the dumping of the HP Slate was the acquisition of Palm. I wish them success in this area though since strong competition gives the users better and better devices.
After close to a month of daily use of my iPad I am still extremely happy with it and will be happy to see a growing usable tablet experience for more people.

The Peace of Prayer
In the past 24 hours, I left my very expensive jacket my mom got for me for Christmas a few days ago at a hotel 6 hours away and something I bought 4 weeks ago was just charged to my already depleting funds, and charged twice, which meant I went majorly into the negatives. Yes, majorly.
Yet, I am at peace. In fact, I'm joyful.
If this situation had happened just a week ago, I might be freaking out. No, correct that. I would definitely be freaking out. My heart would be racing. I would be wondering why my parents were not picking up the phone after the first dial tone. I would be pacing and possibly crying. Needless to say, it would not be a good time.
So, why in just a week am I no longer feeling any of those nuisances?
Simple answer: I rediscovered the power of praying.
Praying is a powerful thing. It is what connects us with God on a personal level. It is the most direct way, in my opinion, to communicate with Him. It's very rejuvenating and rewarding,. It was how I felt the peace that surpassed all understanding even though my life was a little crazy at the time.
And when you feel God in your presence, or at least the effects of Him on you, its like someone is sending a care package to your heart.
Trust me, it is so worth it to pray. Even if you feel like you're talking to no one at first.

Today is 1st day of 2018. I felt the same as before. obviously, what is going to change overnight. this year, I don't even had the enthusiasm to change myself. kind of rough feeling inside. I woke up into facebook and whatsapp checking the messages. There are alot may be more than what I expected. However, It didnt made me happy. Each time I was scrolling facebook, I was trying to find something interesting. There were many posts and stories, but none of them made me happy. All my loved ones are celebrating the New Year. but somehow, I didnt find attractive.
I didnt find an exact reason for this odd man out behaviour. Probably I am not happy with me. probably with this society and its illogical rituals. Probably with the world and its corruptions. Or may be I am not a person to be happy with lots of celebrations and being in the crowd. I like to Travel and write about it. If I get some penny from to live, I would be the happiest person. Lets be more realistic. In this new era, freelancing are the new way to live more happily and peacefully. The stress level in such jobs are minimal since you are working as per your schedule and it gives all the flexibility. Yes, my job killing me. I dont want to work like a slave and end my life like one. This year, I will make up to what I never thought in last few years. To make me happy. Not being lazy, but being active. There is a difference between being lazy and enjoy life and being active and enjoy life. Being active doesnt mean you have to be more talkative and social. It also means to do what you love to do.

Download the Graph Refinement toolset
What am I downloading?
You are downloading the NICTA graph refinement toolset.
The toolset consists of a python program and a collection of Isabelle/HOL theories used to reason about programs in a particular graph representation. These tools were first used to demonstrate that binary images of seL4 are refinements of the C models produced by the NICTA C parser as part of the NICTA compilation correctness project.
The design and proof rules of the graph refinement toolset are described in detail in the paper "Translation Validation for a Verified OS Kernel", see below.
The initial release of the graph-refinenement toolset includes the core graph refinement program but only a subset of the Isabelle theories used in the compilation correctness project. Further theories that were used to convert the Isabelle/SIMPL representation of seL4 into an input problem for graph refinement will be provided in a future release.
The graph refinement tools are released under the BSD license. The tar file for download bundles the NICTA C parser, also under the BSD license, which in turn bundles the following 3rd party components:
- the language Simpl by Norbert Schirmer under the LGPL license
- code from SML/NJ under a BSD-style license
- code from the mlton compiler under a BSD-style license
External Components
The python graph refinement program requires the use of an SMT solver, which is not included. We have had success using the solvers Z3 (version 4.0) and SONOLAR (version 2012-06-14), but other SMTLIB2 compatible solvers may be effective. The list of available solvers should be adjusted in the file "solver.py".
The Isabelle theories included require the use of Isabelle 2012, and may be built conveniently from the HOL-Word image.

Here's an Orioles' press release worth passing on to those of you who are hoping to get autographs at FanFest later this month:
"Vouchers for autograph sessions at the Orioles' 2012 FanFest will go on sale this Saturday at 10:00 a.m. The list of autograph session times and participants will be posted online for preview at www.orioles.com/fanfest by 9:00 p.m. this Friday. Orioles FanFest will be held on Saturday, January 21 at the Baltimore Convention Center from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with early entry for Orioles Season Plan Holders to begin at 10:00 a.m.
At this year's FanFest, the Orioles will continue an autograph policy designed to support youth charitable endeavors through OriolesREACH and reduce fan disappointment by shortening wait times. Children ages 4-14 will have a specially designated Kids Only player autograph station presented by ESSKAY that is free of charge and will operate continuously throughout the day. All other ESSKAY autograph stations at FanFest will require the advance purchase of autograph vouchers exclusively at www.orioles.com/fanfest for $15 each, with all of the proceeds to benefit children's charities through OriolesREACH. Last year's FanFest raised over $94,000 for the Orioles Charitable Foundation.
There will be 250 vouchers available for each autograph session, guaranteeing that each fan purchasing a voucher for a particular session will receive an autograph from each of the players at the station. Fans will be able to print their vouchers at home and must present them to the attendant at the appropriate autograph session, shortening the amount of wait time in autograph lines. Fans must be in line for their autograph session no later than 30 minutes after the session begins.
If vouchers are still available on the day of the event, they will be available for purchase at the Oriole Park Box Office or at the Ticket Sales location at FanFest. Autograph seekers are encouraged to purchase vouchers in advance, as all available vouchers in 2011 sold out before the day of the event. There is a limit of two autograph vouchers per person, per session time, and fans redeeming autograph vouchers must be three years of age or older.
The complimentary Kids Only area at FanFest will operate throughout the day in a free-flowing system. Players signing in this area will not be announced in advance. Youth ages 4-14 may go through this line as many times as they would like as players rotate through the station.
Season Plan Holders can access FanFest beginning at 10:00 a.m., and the first 250 in attendance will receive a voucher to participate in a complimentary autograph session beginning at 10:00 a.m.
The Orioles will make every effort to keep to this autograph schedule, but reserve the right to change or substitute individuals as necessary. To purchase autograph vouchers or to obtain updated information about the event, fans should visit www.orioles.com/fanfest.
One other Orioles' PR note: This season the club continues its "come to an Orioles game free on your birthday" promotion. Fans who register at our website, www.orioles.com, will receive a voucher for a free ticket to a non-prime Orioles game in his/her birthday month. Those with birthdays in January through March will receive a voucher for an April game, and those with birthdays in October through December will receive a voucher for a September game. Over 50,000 fans have participated in the program since it began."
Here's an Orioles' press release worth passing on to those of you who are hoping to get autographs at FanFest later this month:

Louisiana Marijuana Defense Attorney
Elizabeth B. Carpenter, Esq. — Serving clients in Orleans, Jefferson, Terrebonne, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. Tammany, St. John, Assumption and Plaquemines Parishes.
Support the decriminalization of Marijuana!
New Hampshire House Passes
Marijuana Decriminalization Bill
The New Hampshire House barely passed a marijuana decriminalization bill Thursday. The bill squeaked by on a 162-161 vote, not enough to overcome a threatened veto by Gov. John Lynch (D).
Supporters were able to win passage only after Republican House Speaker Bill O'Brien abstained, allowing the one-vote victory.
The bill, House Bill 1526, would make possession of less than a half-ounce of marijuana a civil infraction for the first and second offenses, with fines capped at $250 and $500, respectively. Subsequent offenses would be misdemeanors punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Current law specifies up to a year in jail and a $2,000 fine for any simple marijuana possession offense.
The bill is "a measured and calculated reduction in penalties," wrote Rep. Kyle Tasker (R-Nottingham) in a report on the measure he wrote for the Criminal Justice Committee, which earlier approved it. It has worked well in neighboring states that have adopted it, he added.
But Gov. Lynch has promised to veto the measure if it makes it past the Senate.
"Marijuana is a controlled drug that remains illegal under federal law. New Hampshire parents are working to keep their kids away from marijuana and other drugs. We should not make the jobs of parents — or law enforcement — harder by sending a false message that some marijuana use is acceptable," Lynch spokesman Colin Manning told theAssociated Press after the vote.
Fourteen states have decriminalized marijuana possession, including New Hampshire neighbors Massachusetts, Maine, and Connecticut.

Posted: Apr 21, 2012
REDMOND Wash. - Some say perfection is an unattainable ideal. Not Friday at Eastlake High School as senior Peter Hendron hurled a perfect game for a 1-0 win against the rival Wolves. The win runs the Redmond Mustang win streak to 10.
Hendron was dominant from the outset, throwing three pitches for strikes. His fastball had the needed giddyup and the curveball kept the opposing Wolves off balance all game. In his seven innings of work, Hendron needed only 86 pitches to set down 21 Eastlake batters in order. He struck out ten and induced five groundouts and six flyouts.

- A Brief Review
- Simply Explore Objective-C Message Forward
- The BigBang Example
- Here is how we should do it
A Brief Review
Runtime is one of the powerful features of Objective-C, it provides us the ability to add/replace a method of some class, retrieve/set the implementation of a specified method, and even add a class in runtime.
However, just like the sunlight shines not only on the good guys, but also on the bad ones. There are some tools in iOS Jailbreak community which take the advantage of Objective-C's runtime feature, to be specific, the ability of message forward. Within this feature, they can log the calling sequence of the methods in the application for further exploitation. And it's not that hard to inject such tools into your application, since there are many ways such as
DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES or modifying the MachO load commands, and they got some sets of tools like iOSOpenDev, and the new replacement of iOSOpenDev, MonkeyDev by @AloneMonkey.
And there're at least 2 tools which can log the calling sequence of the methods,
After spending some time on reading the codes, they are built on the top of message forward ability of Objective-C. Now, let's simply explore the message forward feature.
Simply Explore Objective-C Message Forward
For all classes that directly or indirectly inherited from NSObject, there's a default instance method named
-[class forwardInvocation:], it accepts one NSInvocation object which has these properties
- target, the receiver of the message
- selector, which method should the receiver call
- methodSignature, the 'type' of the method, used for correctly retrieve arguments and return value
If we want message forward feature in our class, then we just override the default implementation inherited from NSObject. It usually goes like below according to the Apple Objective-C Runtime Programming Guide.
- (void)forwardInvocation:(NSInvocation *)anInvocation { if ([someOtherObject respondsToSelector: [anInvocation selector]]) [anInvocation invokeWithTarget:someOtherObject]; else [super forwardInvocation:anInvocation]; }
And in normal development, there is one more instance method should be implemented and it's named
-[class methodSignatureForSelector:]. The return value is exactly the property methodSignature of the NSInvocation object.
The BigBang Example
Now, let's look at codesourse/BigBang, one of the tools that can be used for logging calling sequence of methods. Before we get started, I'd like to mention a truly great and very detailed article on Objective-C's message forward mechanism, Objective-C 消息发送与转发机制原理.
The BigBang's implementation is clear and simple,
- Get each selector copied with prefix "BigBang_"
- All original selectors points to _objc_msgForward
- replace the class's message forward implementation
- Once the original selector is called, objc would process the message forward procedure, and this procedure is under BigBang's control
- In the message forward procedure, BigBang log the name of the original selector, args and return value, assign the "BigBang_" prefixed selector to invocation, and then invoke
We could rewrite the BigBang tool in pseudocode as below.
// the entry + (void)hookClass:(NSString *)theClass { // this for loop applies replacement for each method in theClass { retrieve selector, type encoding (i.e methodSignature) and IMP filter according to the selector's name (skip some hidden methods, such as .cxx_destruct) // created a new selector with the old one's IMP add the "BigBang_" prefix to the selector add this new selector with old selector's IMP to the class // when calling the old selector, use message forward set old selector's IMP to _objc_msgForward(a.k.a, forwardInvocation:) } // a universal forward invocation implementation IMP forwardInvocationImpl = imp_implementationWithBlock(^(id object, NSInvocation * invocation) { retrieve selector from the NSInvocation object // this completes the forwarding, i.e // -[theClass oldSelector] -> -[theClass BigBang_oldSelector] add the "BigBang_" prefix to the selector assign the new one to the NSInvocation object get the arguments and return value from the NSInvocation object // the ultimate goal print the name of the old selector, arguments passed to it, and the return value // original IMP is invoked, but now the selector is prefixed with "BigBang_" invoke -[theClass BigBang_oldSelector] } set the forwardInvocationImpl as -[theClass forwardInvocation:] IMP }
As you can see, both the idea and the implementation of BigBang are simple (but not trivial), and now, what should we do to protect our important classes?
Here is how we should do it
As a matter of fact, we could reasonably assume that all functions are hooked, since they're of course capable of doing it (well, at least, some of they're). It seems that this drives us to the wall. But luckily, there're builtin functions. These functions are provided by the complier, and translated into assemble instructions during the compiling. So, there's just no way to hook them.
Here is how we should do it. We need to add a variadic method to the class we wanna protect.
@interface ProtectedClass : NSObject - (void)someImportantMethod:(id)arg; // make this a deceptive name - (void)aDeceptiveMethodName:(id)arg, ... NS_REQUIRES_NIL_TERMINATION; @end
Well, but you may ask why do we use the variadic method. Here is the explanation.
Firstly, since the BigBang and some other tools take advantage of forwarding, then we just need to find something which cannot be forwarded, and variadic parameter is exactly what we expected. The mechanism of C language (Objective-C is a superset on C) just NOT ALLOW such behavior, in fact, such code (as below) will NEVER GET COMPILED. You may refer to C FAQ Question 15.12.
void my_printf(char * fmt, ...) { printf(fmt, ...); // won't compile }
va_* functions are all builtin functions, and there's just no way for attackers to hook builtin functions.
#define va_start(ap, param) __builtin_va_start(ap, param) #define va_end(ap) __builtin_va_end(ap) #define va_arg(ap, type) __builtin_va_arg(ap, type)
Last, this variadic method will be shown or dumped as
-[ProtectedClass aDeceptiveMethodName:] both in runtime and static analysis. With a deceptive name, it would be really hard (but not impossible) for attackers to identify that this is in fact a variadic method.
Ok, now we need a function to call it.
static void inline protection() { // We should also protect the selector's name here, but this beyonds the scope of this post // In fact, there're many means, you may refer to one of my old post: // Avoid XRef in Hopper and IDA IMP target = method_getImplementation(class_getInstanceMethod([ProtectedClass class], NSSelectorFromString(@"aDeceptiveMethodName:"))); // cast the IMP to the variadic function type typedef void(*targetMethodImplmentation)(id, SEL, id, /* magic int */ ...); id obj = [[ProtectedClass alloc] init]; ((targetMethodImplmentation)target)(obj, NSSelectorFromString(@"aDeceptiveMethodName:"), nil, 1, nil); }
Now, try to retrieve the int value 1 we just passed to it.
// make this a deceptive name - (void)aDeceptiveMethodName:(id)arg, ... { // perhaps you really need to do something before this to cover up va_list arg_ptr; int magic = 0; va_start(arg_ptr, arg); magic = va_arg(arg_ptr, int); va_end(arg_ptr); if (magic != 1) { NSLog(@"Error: forwarded message!"); // use longjmp so that the call stack gets cleaned // and also to protect this deceptive method longjmp(protectionJMP, 1); } else { NSLog(@"So far so good."); } }
What if the magic is not 1, call
exit()? Remember our previous assumption, all functions could have been hooked. Even if the
exit() is not hooked, attackers can set a breakpoint on exit, and then the call stack is preserved, the deceptive variadic method is exposed.
Thus why we take advantage of
longjmp() will clean the call stack, and the call stack will be like this below.
Of course, longjmp could have been hooked, too. But we can refer to its source code and clean the call stack by ourselves.
The complete example is on my GitHub, BlueCocoa/no_forward_invocation.

NEW YORK, NY, 10/05/2017 — Image Comics is pleased to announce BINGO LOVE, an original graphic novel created and written by Tee Franklin, with art by Jenn St-Onge, and colors by Joy San.
BINGO LOVE is about two Queer, Black women and the love between them that spans decades. Their story also explores the complications of coming out at an older age, and how that decision affects their families lives. BINGO LOVE will hit stores just in time for Valentine's Day, February 2018.
"As a woman who was married once upon a time, I understand how it is to come out as a Queer woman to my family," said Franklin. "Bingo Love was important for me to create for the youth, the LGBTQ youth needs to understand that happily-ever-after's aren't only for straight people. If Disney's Carl and Ellie can grow old together, so can Mari and Hazel."
Hazel Johnson and Mari McCray are two young, Black girls who meet at church bingo in 1963 and eventually fall in love…but in this time period, their love was not accepted. Hazel and Mari are broken up by their families' "shame" and go on to marry and have families of their own. Almost fifty years later—in the fever pitch of church bingo—Mari and Hazel are reunited and rediscover the love they have for each other, even though they both are still married.
Tee Franklin is a Black, Queer, disabled woman, known in the comics industry as a vocal person of color and advocate for the LGBTQ and disabled community. She is credited for starting the popular hashtag: #BlackComicsMonth which aims to make comic book fans more aware of talented Black comic creators, and their diverse comic book characters and superheroes that already exist in the industry.
Franklin won the 2017 Queer Press Grant for BINGO LOVE and has raised almost $60k for this graphic novella via Kickstarter.https://www.firstcomicsnews.com/image-comics-announces-original-graphic-novel-bingo-love/News

HfB, a stimulating environment for study and play
Hochschule für Bankwirtschaft (HfB) was founded in 1991 by the leading German banks, Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Bank, Commerzbank, HypoVereinsbank and ING BHF-Bank, to meet their needs in academic education in Banking & Finance. A private university of applied sciences, HfB has rapidly emerged as Centre of Competence for Research and Education in Banking & Finance.
HfB offers those benefits that only private educational institutions can offer: class sessions in small groups with a maximum of 30 students; attentive faculty available to students around the clock and not just during sparse office hours; class discussions and talks as main means of instruction; and a brand-new school building incorporating the latest technologies and offering the students a study environment that is at the same time stimulating and allowing them to focus on their studies.
Today's business is about skills and networks
At HfB, you learn the skills and knowledge to manoeuver through the waters of Banking & Finance while at the same time joining the global financial community: first, already within your class and at HfB as an organization you will meet managers from various companies and industries, all focussing on topics around Banking & Finance.
This is strongly supported by the Alumni Network "HfB-Alumni e.V." (http://www.hfb-alumni.de/)
And outside of HfB, the school has ties to a large array of financial institutions, including the large German banking powerhouses, subsidiaries of foreign banks, the European Central Bank, small financial boutiques and service companies, such as consultancies or IT companies. Thus, by studying at HfB you gain access to the global community of financial professionals.

Levitating Bulbs
Smartphones enable you to get the party started, tracking down friends and finding a good location to meet. But once you start drinking, you can use your phone to help do so responsibly. Cautoh is free software for Android and iOS that lets users track their drinking and estimate their blood alcohol level. Checking if you're within the blood alcohol limit or determining how much time you'd need to wait before you're within limits again. It also works with a separate Breath Analyser, which you'll have to pay for, also developed by Cautoh. The analyser connects via Bluetooth and processes your breath using an "advanced semiconductor alcohol sensor" and makes suggestions on when users can drive based on their body alcohol content.
Use the app by selecting your drink from a list in the app. Based on your weight, gender and other formulas you get an approximation of your blood alcohol content. The list is filled with popular drinks around the world, but you can create your own drinks if you want. You can also search nearby restaurants, where you can wait until you are within legal limits to drive. Hopefully it's not too difficult to use when you're imbibing with friends, but it'll definitely help you be more mindful of how much you've consumed, or to figure out if you should slow down.
The app also enables you to book a cab, get a designated driver or call a friend. Use your smartphone to help you make smart choices when drinking.

By Chico Harlan,
SEOUL — Five years ago, South Korea mapped out a plan to transform its education system into the world's most cutting-edge. The country would turn itself into a "knowledge powerhouse," one government report declared, breeding students "equipped for the future." These students would have little use for the bulky textbooks familiar to their parents. Their textbooks would be digital, accessible on any screen of their choosing. Their backpacks would be much lighter.
By setting out to swap traditional textbooks for digital ones, the chief element of its plan for transformation, South Korea tried to anticipate the future — and its vision has largely taken shape with the global surge of tablets, smartphones and e-book readers.
But South Korea, among the world's most wired nations, has also seen its plan to digitize elementary, middle and high school classrooms by 2015 collide with a trend it didn't anticipate: Education leaders here worry that digital devices are too pervasive and that this young generation of tablet-carrying, smartphone-obsessed students might benefit from less exposure to gadgets, not more.
Those concerns have caused South Korea to pin back the ambition of the project, which is in a trial stage at about 50 schools. Now, the full rollout won't be a revolution: Classes will use digital textbooks alongside paper textbooks, not instead of them. First- and second-graders, government officials say, probably won't use the gadgets at all.
Other countries are watching closely, because no other nation, according to government officials here, has a similarly ambitious digital plan. The nearest comparison might be in Florida, where officials last year proposed phasing out traditional textbooks by 2015.
Education officials here fear that if tablets and laptops become mandatory in the classroom, students could become even more device-dependent. They might also suffer from vision problems. Some parents, officials say, have expressed the concern that their kids will struggle to keep their focus on studying when using an Internet-connected device.
Before making a complete transition to digital books, the government should study the "health effects" on students, said Jeong Kwang-hoon, chief of the online learning division at the Korea Education and Research Information Service, a government-sponsored institute that is working with private companies to create digital textbooks.
Scaled-down ambitions
South Korea's education ministry never said explicitly that paper textbooks would disappear. But the 2007 plan spoke in sweeping terms about "overcoming the limit" of traditional learning, so education experts here assumed as much.
Only last summer did the government unveil the specifics. South Korea said it would introduce the first set of e-textbooks nationwide by 2015 at the latest. The content would be accessible on any device — on tablets or laptops, in classrooms or at home, on Apples or Samsungs, the homegrown electronics company whose rise corresponds with Korea's economic emergence. But the plan was scaled back, too, with officials saying paper textbooks still need a prime place in classrooms.
At least 10 South Korean publishing companies are building digital textbooks. The crudest versions are much like copied pages of a traditional textbook; the pages are digital, but you can't play around with them. The more advanced versions, though, are packed with 3-D animation and video clips. There's also the possibility that the textbooks can be updated in real-time — although textbooks here are government-approved, and any changes would require a bureaucratic review.
A Changing Classroom
Digital textbooks do, though, change the very nature of the classroom. Teachers who embrace the digital textbooks, education experts say, become more like "companions" in the education process, not just lecturing, but also helping students to conduct their own Google searches and to make sense of simulations featured in the e-textbooks.

Private investors will be encouraged to play a bigger role in upgrading the manufacturing sector, as China steps up efforts to widen access to key industries, the top industry regulator said on March 19.
"Private investors have contributed 60 percent of the money poured into the manufacturing sector," said Miao Wei, the minister of industry and information technology. "We need to improve efforts to remove barriers and lower the entry threshold."
Speaking at the three-day China Development Forum in Beijing, he said investment in manufacturing grew by only 3 percent last year, partly because the sector yields lower returns than the real estate and financial sectors.
"We will motivate enterprises to expand from production to manufacturing design and services, to enhance profitability," Miao said. "Private enterprises face more barriers than foreign counterparts in some industries. We're determined to change that. One solution is to accelerate the mixed ownership reform."
China United Network Communications Group, the nation's second-largest telecom carrier by subscribers, is among the State-owned enterprises looking into attracting private investors.
"Private investors have less confidence in the manufacturing industry because the rate of return is relatively low," said Luo Zhongwei, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of Industrial Economics.
The government should introduce preferential policies to steer private capital into upgrading the manufacturing industry, he said.
Miao reiterated that Made in China 2025, a national strategy to promote high-end manufacturing, welcomes Chinese and foreign companies to take part and is expected to bring equal opportunities to local and international enterprises.
The reason experts have suggested setting market-share targets for some domestically made products and equipment is because of stringent export restrictions on high-end products imposed by some countries, he said.
As a result, China has no option but to rely on domestic companies to meet the demands of the local market, he added.
Made in China 2025 adheres to government-led, market-oriented principles, said Miao, who was quoted as saying during the annual session of the National People's Congress: "Foreign and Chinese enterprises will continue to be treated equally."

The Team Parents
It's always a good idea to hold an initial meeting of team members and their parents. Most likely, the parents will support their child's involvement in the program and will want to help. It is very important, however, that you let them know their limitations. Make clear the rules for outside assistance. Stress that their children will reap the full benefits of creative problem solving if they create their solution themselves.
Parents need to understand what will be expected of them regarding money, time, transportation, and so on. Find out what days and times are convenient from a family perspective and develop a practice schedule accordingly.
Make sure you inform the parents of the competition dates well ahead of time so they don't schedule activities that conflict with those dates. Block the day after competition as well for celebration party whichever way the competition goes for the Team.
A colleague from the VA chapter shared this handy guide of Parent Guidelines that we encourage you to pass to all team parents.
Getting to know the parents is a way to learn about the resources, skills and facilities that they have to offer. Parents may be willing to teach skills that team members need to execute their solution — carpentry, sewing, dancing, etc. Parents can also supply general information on subjects such as engineering and scientific principles, and they are a good resource to serve as judges, scorekeepers, or tournament assistants.
You might want to have parents solve a hands-on spontaneous problem during the meeting to "break the ice" with each other and to demonstrate what their kids will be doing.
Some coaches set-up specific jobs for parents such as transportation coordination, bringing snacks for meetings, finances, T-shirt and pin orders, setting up spontaneous, etc.
Discuss time constraints and what they're willing to contribute, set a schedule of team meetings that you'll stick to as best as you can until the competition date approaches.
You might want to meet one day during the week and on Saturday mornings for a couple of hours. As competition season draws near, you'll probably want to increase the frequency of your practice sessions. Try not to have your meetings conflict with any of the team members' curricular activities.
If you can meet as a team only once a week, make this a planning session where all team members give input into the solution, then assign different tasks to specific team members that they can work on at home. Make sure each team member has equal responsibilities. For example, one could write one scene of a skit and another team member could write another. One could make a costume, another could build a prop, and still another could create music.

This morning I weighed in at 210.6, a new low for me! I lost 1.6 lbs. this week for a total of 77.4 lbs. I'm very happy with that number and I am getting so close to my next 10 lb. goal!
For breakfast, I had a bagel thin topped with whipped honey nut cream cheese, egg beaters, a banana and a cup of 1% milk for 8 points.
After hubby left, I did a Pilates workout for 20 minutes. My hips, knees and legs were so sore from running yesterday. I burned 85 calories, I have to remember that this isn't a cardio workout, but it felt good to stretch my sore muscles.
For my first break, I whipped up a green smoothie (2 oranges, 1 cup spinach) and also snacked on some cocoa roasted almonds for 4 points total.
For lunch, I had a baked potato topped with steamed broccoli and 2% Sharp Cheddar cheese for 6 points. This is so filling!
And for a sweet ending, I had FF/SF chocolate pudding for 2 points.
I got a fun package in the mail today from my sister! More Duchess Grey tea! Yay! I will be set now for my afternoon tea! Thanks!!
On my last break, I had to have a cup of that for 0 points.
I also had a Blueberry Fiber One yogurt with 1/2 cup of blueberries for 1 point.
I can't believe that yogurt is only 1 point- it's absolutely delicious and creamy! I highly recommend it!
And I had a light cheese stick for 1 point.
I ended up getting off of work about 1 1/2 hours early- which was nice because I had some reading to get done!
I was amazed at how much the Pilates helped with my sore legs and knees this morning. My hips are a huge problem area for me and I often wonder if I have something wrong with them, so they were still hurting. But since I was feeling much better otherwise, I decided that I would jump on the bike while I read. I biked for 30 minutes and burned 106 calories for workout #2!
For supper, I had a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich and roasted veggies with olive oil for 6 points.
I had forgotten how good roasted veggies were. This was the first time roasting carrots and mushrooms and they were SOOO good! I also had onions and zucchini in the mix, which are ALWAYS good.
For dessert, I had a serving of crust less cheesecake. I made my No Bake Cheesecake this weekend and realized that the majority of the points were in the crust. So I tried it without the crust. It doesn't set enough to serve it as a slice, but it still tasted good! I topped it with fresh strawberries for 4 points.
That leaves me with 2 points left for the evening! I feel like today was a good day. I'm trying to be more conscious about what I'm eating and am really working at getting those veggies in. I think I'm doing ok so far!

Dangerous Women [edited] by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois
All new and original to this volume, the 21 stories in Dangerous Women include work by twelve New York Times bestsellers, and seven stories set in the authors' bestselling continuities—including a new "Outlander" story by Diana Gabaldon, a tale of Harry Dresden's world by Jim Butcher, a story from Lev Grossman set in the world of The Magicians, and a 35,000-word novella by George R. R. Martin about the Dance of the Dragons, the vast civil war that tore Westeros apart nearly two centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones.
Also included are original stories of dangerous women–heroines and villains alike–by Brandon Sanderson, Joe Abercrombie, Sherilynn Kenyon, Lawrence Block, Carrie Vaughn, S. M. Stirling, Sharon Kay Penman, and many others.
Writes Gardner Dozois in his Introduction, "Here you'll find no hapless victims who stand by whimpering in dread while the male hero fights the monster or clashes swords with the villain, and if you want to tie these women to the railroad tracks, you'll find you have a real fight on your hands. Instead, you will find sword-wielding women warriors, intrepid women fighter pilots and far-ranging spacewomen, deadly female serial killers, formidable female superheroes, sly and seductive femmes fatale, female wizards, hard-living Bad Girls, female bandits and rebels, embattled survivors in Post-Apocalyptic futures, female Private Investigators, stern female hanging judges, haughty queens who rule nations and whose jealousies and ambitions send thousands to grisly deaths, daring dragonriders, and many more."
WHY WE'RE EXCITED: Duh, it's an anthology about bad ass women as told by Dresden Files author Jim Butcher, historical fiction writer extraordinaire Sharon Kay Penman, The Magicians' Lev Grossman and George R. R. Martin! (Shouldn't you be writing Winds of Winter though?)
Bonus: you can now listen to an excerpt of GRRM's novella as read by Jorah Mormont himself Iain Glen. Albeit with his real accent. But we forgive him because he's Scottish and he reads it with all the voices.
Farewell, Dorothy Parker by Ellen Meister
When it comes to movie reviews, critic Violet Epps is a powerhouse voice. But that's only because she's learned to channel her literary hero Dorothy Parker, the most celebrated and scathing wit of the twentieth century. If only Violet could summon that kind of strength in her personal life.
Violet visits the Algonquin Hotel in an attempt to find inspiration from the hallowed dining room where Dorothy Parker and so many other famous writers of the 1920s traded barbs, but she gets more than she bargained for when Parker's feisty spirit rematerializes. An irreverent ghost with problems of her own—including a refusal to cross over to the afterlife—Mrs. Parker helps Violet face her fears, becoming in turn mentor and tormentor and ultimately, friend.
WHY WE'RE EXCITED: We love books in which Oscar Wilde, Lord Byron and even Jane Austen are vampires, so why not one in which Dorothy Parker is a sassy ghost?
Deadly: A Pretty Little Liars Novel by Sara Shepard
Deadly, the fourteenth volume in Sara Shepard's YA Pretty Little Liars series, delivers more juicy scandals, dark secrets, and shocking plot twists. This #1 New York Times bestselling series is also a hit ABC Family original TV show.
High school seniors Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer have all done horrible things—things that would put them behind bars if anyone ever found out. And their stalker "A" knows everything.
So far A has kept their secrets, using them to torture the girls. But now A's changed the game. Suddenly the girls are hauled in for questioning, and all their worlds begin to unravel. If A's plan succeeds, Rosewood's pretty little liars will be locked away for good. . .
WHY WE'RE EXCITED: This is the 14th book in the Pretty Little Liars series and we're wondering how it's still such a guilty pleasure read this far in! How does it end? When will it end? Can it ever end!?!

Oct. 19, 2005
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Although there are eight women's soccer programs in the West Coast Conference, every WCC title has been won or shared by only two of those schools. Those two very same teams' paths intersect once again this Friday night at 7 p.m. as the No. 5 Santa Clara Broncos (13-2-1, 3-0-0 WCC) and the No. 2 Portland Pilots (14-0-1, 2-0-1 WCC) clash in front of a packed house at Harry A. Merlo Field in Portland.
Never mind the fact that the two teams are annual guests at the NCAA Tournament, or that the Broncos and Pilots have each claimed a national title in the last four years. Whether it's the NCAA Championship match or their annual WCC tilt, the two squads never disappoint when it comes to providing the drama and suspense one would expect from two elite squads.
"[Friday's] game has all the elements of a fantastic game: sold-out crowd, beautiful stadium, television, and two top-five teams that have a wonderful history in terms of a rivalry," said head coach Jerry Smith, who went on to explain the importance of matches such as Friday night's which simulate a playoff of Final Four atmosphere for the team. "In our conference, often times the Portland game enables us to simulate a playoff environment, and if we're going to win NCAA playoff games we're going to have to play well in games like Friday. We talked as a team about what a great opportunity Friday will be to see how we're going to measure up to the pressure and the atmosphere that's going to exist at the College Cup."
With a sold-out crowd expected at 5,000-seat Merlo Field, the Broncos will certainly have the chance not only to gauge their performance in a tension-packed match in a foreign environment but also to knock off another highly-regarded team this season. Like then-No. 1 Notre Dame, who the Broncos defeated 2-1 on September 9, the second-ranked Pilots feature an explosive offense, this one led by Canadian National Team member Christine Sinclair, who is currently tops in the NCAA with 27 goals and 61 points in 15 games.
Santa Clara's back line, led by the central defense duo of junior Lauren Zealear and freshman Danielle Potts, is more than capable of limiting the Pilot attack. Along with co-captains Micaela Esquivel and Marian Dalmy, and the versatile Catherine Sigler on the wings, the Bronco defense has not allowed a goal in the last 516:01 of action. For her part in this effort Zealear earned a spot on Top Drawer Soccer's National Team of the Week, her second such honor this season.
Not to be overlooked in this defensive dominance is the play of Preseason All-American goalkeeper Julie Ryder. Her sixth shutout of the season last Friday against Saint Mary's brings Ryder's career tally to 27, tying her for third in the school record books with Wendy Johanson ('90). Ryder also carries a 0.45 goals-against average, good for second in the WCC, and is unbeaten (2-0-1) in three career starts against the Pilots.
"The first thing to stopping any great attacking team is to not give away the ball," Smith commented. "In our last several matches, a big reason why we've had shutouts is because our team's been able to keep the ball better. Julie has played well for us against Portland and we know that we'll need her to make some saves in the game Friday night."
On the offensive side of things, the ubiquitous Jordan Angeli will lead the Santa Clara attack against a Portland defense which has allowed only five goals all season. Angeli leads the Broncos and is second in the WCC with ten goals, and along with Tina Estrada and Meagan Snell will seek to test Pilots keeper Cori Alexander.
In the past four years the two schools have met six times, with all of those meetings being decided by less than a goal and three of them going at least to double-overtime. The Broncos have a 4-1-1 edge in those tightly-contested matches over the Pilots. Two of those matches have come in the NCAA Tournament, in 2002 the Pilots prevailed 2-1 in double-overtime in the NCAA Championship match, while in 2003 Santa Clara earned a measure of revenge by taking the conference meeting 2-1 in double-overtime before eliminating Portland in the third round of the NCAA Tournament by winning 4-2 on penalty kicks after the two squads played 110 minutes of scoreless soccer.
"I think it is two pretty evenly-matched teams and in that type of game everything you do has to be very good," added Smith. "It will be a tight game, the score will be relatively low, so everything matters: limiting your mistakes, turning the ball over. It's all the little details that are going to make a difference in the game."
Following Friday night's showdown in Portland the Broncos will travel to Spokane to conclude their Pacific Northwest trip against No. 22 Gonzaga Sunday at noon. The Bulldogs (10-3-2, 1-1-1 WCC) earned their first-ever national ranking earlier this week as they debuted at No. 22 in the Soccer America poll. Guided by former Broncos standout Shannon (Douglas) Stiles ('93), Gonzaga is coming off of a weekend which saw them upset then-No. 10 Pepperdine and play to a scoreless draw against Loyola Marymount behind the efforts of WCC Player of the Week Ashley Haugen. A senior goalkeeper, Haugen posted two saves against the Waves before making five against the Lions to maintain the tie.
Friday's match will be televised on tape-delay Monday, October 24 at 7 p.m. Live stats will be available on www.santaclarabroncos.com against the Pilots, and fans may follow Sunday's action beginning at noon on Gametracker.

Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services Need a Tangible Commitment
Letter in The Guardian, 24th October 2016, from Prof Dame Sue Bailey, and Dr Pooky Knightsmith in response to article in which Secretary of State for Health, pledges to improve diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric conditions and put specialists in schools. Our letter welcomes this, but stresses that you need to address the whole system, rather than just putting specialists in schools.
We welcome Jeremy Hunt highlighting the need to more effectively help children and young people with mental health issues by intervening early, and the emphasis he puts on schools and Camhs teams working together.
The secretary of state refers to the need for Camhs workers in schools, and that is important, but as in many areas of healthcare, you need to consider the whole system. You can't just put a Camhs worker into a school and think everything is fixed. Schools need better trained staff, who can identify and signpost children who might have mental health problems, a curriculum where children and young people learn how to look after their own mental health, and a culture that addresses wellbeing. A Camhs worker or a counsellor in schools can help with all of this, but there will inevitably be those who need more specialist support, so there have to be appropriate services in the community as well. We already have a blueprint from government about how to do this, in the form of Future in Mind. It now needs to be implemented properly across the country so no child is left behind.
Many schools already see the importance of supporting children and young people's mental health and wellbeing. For instance, Schools North East, which is UK's only regional network of schools, has recently launched their schools-led mental health commission, which Prof Sue Bailey is privileged to chair.
