Social networking sites have completely transformed how we live in the modern world. The growth of huge social media and messaging services such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Snapchat, and others have made interacting with people simpler.
We have started to use these platforms for exchanging media material such as images, movies, and a variety of other items, in addition to the conversation.
It is true that the top applications have started to bring joy and excitement into our lives. Snapchat will undoubtedly establish a place among them. Snapchat allows users to share photos and videos of memorable events while still communicating with their friends. It's simple to set up a Snapchat account on your Android or iOS device.
If you want to know how to change your username on Snapchat, it's simple to do so by following these three steps. There are some important notes to keep in mind before making any changes, though, so make sure you read through all of the following steps and follow them carefully to ensure you for how to change your username on Snapchat smoothly.
Step 1: Change the name of your Snapchat account.
There's a creative technique to use a custom Display Name instead of your username. Your username will not change, but only a selected of your friends will be able to view it.
This is how you do it.
- Open Snapchat, then go to your profile's upper-left corner of the screen.
- Click the gear symbol in the upper-right corner.
- Choose a name.
- Enter a new display name in the Box.
- Click on Save.
- Instead of your username, the name you save in the Name box displays in your friends' conversations and stories.
Step: 2 Create a new Snapchat account with a unique username.
Creating a new Snapchat account with a unique name is another option for changing your Snapchat username.
When you choose this option, you will have to manually add your friends to your new account. Here's how to preserve the Snapchat names of your friends and then set up a new account.
- Select Chat and then the upper-right corner's New Chat button.
- Go to All to see your friends in alphabetical order.
- Take a snapshot of the list or write down each name. To cancel the New Chat, in the upper-right corner – click the X.
- By putting their name into the search area at the top of the page, you may find the first buddy on your list.
- Keep track of the username that appears next to their Display Name in your head.
- Click the X in the search bar to exit the search. To access Settings, choose your profile/Bitmoji symbol and then the gear icon in the upper-right corner.
- At the last of the Settings menu, select Log Out of your account.
- To establish a new account with your unique username, select Sign Up.
- Once you create your new account, click the magnifying glass button to look for the usernames of your friends. To add them, choose Add.
Step: 3 Using your email address, you may change your Snapchat username.
This technique will be significantly different from the previous way, which gave a step-by-step guide for changing Snapchat username without creating a new account.
By creating a new Snapchat account with a different email address, you may change your Snapchat username. To alter your Snapchat account's username, follow the instructions below.
- To start, open the Snapchat app and go to your profile.
- To log out, go to Settings and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
- After you've logged out, go ahead and hit the Sign up button.
- Fill in the necessary information, making sure to use a different email address from the one you've been using for your current Snapchat account.
- To add friends to your profile, go to your profile and select 'Add Friends.' Alternatively, you may 'Add from Contacts.'
- Wait a moment after pressing the 'Continue' button.
- Click the 'OK' button on the following pop-up window to allow Snapchat to access your contacts.
- The contacts can then be added according to your preferences.
- Unlock your profile by logging into your previous Snapchat account.
- Then choose any person from the 'My Friends' menu, and the Snapchat username will appear on the screen.
- Leave out the people you've previously added to your new Snapchat account.
- Log into your new Snapchat profile once more and add friends or friends by username.
- Once making the necessary changes, you can permanently delete the previous account.
Changing your username on Snapchat doesn't have to be difficult or complicated. It just takes a little know-how and these three steps to make sure you do it right! Of course, that's just how I personally change my username on my account, but if you have any questions about how to change my username on Snapchat, feel free to leave a comment below! I will try to get back to everyone as soon as possible to give an answer on how to change the username on Snapchat. Share your views and opinions on the best Snapchat username with the rest of the community.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea Match Preview, Team News, Lineups
Premier League
When: December 06, 01:15 AM, IST
Where: Molineux Stadium
Capacity: 31,700
CHE vs WOL Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
Chelsea will be travelling to the West Midlands for their next Premier League match as Wolverhampton Wanderers FC host them at Molineux Stadium, tomorrow, on Wednesday night (IST).
Wolverhampton Wanderers:
Wolverhampton Wanderers earned a precious point at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal before the last international break to snap a three-game losing streak. That was believed to be a positive result which could kick-start their campaign once again, instead, Wolves hit a new low as they lost a home game against Huddersfield, and then went down to Crystal Palace in the last match.
So, this is the return of just one point from the last six games, and now the questions are being asked about the true potential of the squad and the level it is performing these days.
Manager Nuno is not under immediate pressure though, as far as his job is concerned as a 12th place position for a promoted team is more than satisfactory. However, the results have to improve in order to ease the pressure on both the manager and the squad as a whole.
Chelsea are no longer the unbeaten side in the league. That streak went down in the most submissive fashion as the Blues knelt down at Wembley against Tottenham Hotspur.
That negative 3-1 result left them outside the top three for the first time this season, but the five-time Premier League champions returned to that territory with a 2-0 win over Fulham on Sunday, coupled with Spurs' failure to beat Arsenal in the North London Derby.
The Blues, however, remains a work in progress and are still learning to fully understand the Sarri Ball. And it was quite evident at Stamford Bridge at the weekend as Fulham made them uncomfortable on too many occasions.
At the moment, Chelsea are 3rd in the league, eight and six points away from Manchester City and Liverpool respectively.

CHE vs WOL Dream11 TEAM NEWS: Injuries and Suspensions
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Chelsea Team News:
Wolverhampton Wanderers:
Injured – To be updated.
Suspended – Wolves' biggest star Ruben Neves will be serving a one-game suspension after picking up his 5th yellow card of the season in the last match.
Questionable – None
Note: Belgian midfielder Leander Dendoncker could be given his first start as Nuno ponders to change the personnel for this pivotal home clash against the Blues.
Romain Saiss may be asked to play in the midfield to cover the absence of Neves. If that happens, Ryan Bennett is expected to come at the back.
Helder Costa and Adama Traore are struggling to produce some meaningful contribution and may be dropped down to the bench.
While Ivan Cavaleiro and Diogo Jota are in contention for a recall.
Key Players – Gimenez, Moutinho
Injured – None at the moment.
Suspended – None
Questionable – Ross Barkley is still suffering from a minor injury and will be assessed ahead of the match. If the former Everton playmaker is deemed fit to play, he could replace Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the matchday squad.
Willian and Pedro will be fighting for a place at the wing, while Olivier Giroud did enough against Fulham to keep his place in the starting 11. As a result, Morata may find himself on the bench once again.
Note: Maurizio Sarri may look to give some of his stars a rest ahead of the big match against Manchester City at the coming weekend.
Key Players – Hazard, Jorginho
CHE vs WOL Dream11 Playing 11 – (Probable) –
Wolverhampton Wanderers– Patricio (GK), Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Moutinho, Saiss, Vinagre, Jota, Costa, Jimenez
Chelsea– Arrizabalaga (GK), Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso; Kante, Jorginho, Barkley, Willian, Giroud, Hazard
"Join our Telegram Channel to get updates on your mobile IndiaFantasy "
"Have you followed us on Twitter yet? It's a great place Click here to check it out."
CHE vs WOL Dream11 FANTASY TEAM:
Team 1:
For Chelsea, Giroud is expected to start, and Jimenez is in good form and will be key considering Neves is suspended.
Wolves are pretty good at keeping the ball to the ground with Moutinho playing as a focal point. Costa provides an insane pace and can hurt Chelsea. Eden Hazard is, of course, an indispensable part of the squad.
Chelsea are favourites in the match and that's why we have gone with more Chelsea players in this team.
Willian and Hazard will be tasked with breaking up the defence, while Kante is somebody who has a great engine and a good reader of the game.
Wolves have picked up points against Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal this season. Those points were not lucky results but represent a good value for their efforts.
However, they have hit a low in the last 10 games or so, while Chelsea possess enough firepower to increase the problems for Nuno.
An away win is our call.
Prediction 2-0 (at least)

Configuring TACACS+
You can configure TACACS+ services on a switch by using the aaa-tacacs-create command.
CLI (network-admin@switch) > aaa-tacacs-create
name name-string
Specify the name for TACACS+ configuration.
scope local|fabric
Specify the scope of TACACS+ configuration.
server server-string
Specify the TACACS+ server name.
Specify one of more of the following options:
port port-number
Specify the TACACS+ communication port.
secret secret-string
Specify the shared secret for TACACS+.
timeout timeout-number
Specify the number of seconds before communication times out.
priority priority-number
Specify the priority for TACACs+.
Specify to enable or disable authentication.
Specify if the authentication overrides local users. The no-authen-local parameter overrides local users and gives them access while authen-local prevents local users from logging in.
[authen-method pap|chap|ms-chap]]
Specify one among the authentication methods: PAP, MS-CHAP or CHAP (default).
Specify to enable or disable session accounting.
Specify to enable or disable command accounting.
Specify to enable or disable accounting for local users.
Specify to enable or disable session authorization.
Specify to enable or disable command authorization.
Specify to enable or disable authorization for local users.
[service service-string]
Specify the service name used for TACACS+ requests sent from NetVisor OS to the TACACS+ server for commands run at the NetVisor CLI and REST APIs. The default service is shell.
[service-shell service-shell-string]
Specify the TACACS+ service name string for shell commands.
[service-vtysh service-vtysh-string]
Specify the TACACS+ service name string for vtysh commands.
The parameter authen-local controls if a TACACS+ server is used to authenticate local accounts or not. To allow an account to authenticate locally without relying on the TACACS+ server, you must configure all active TACACS+ instances with no-authen-local option. The local accounts include the accounts configured by using the commands user-create and user-modify, and the accounts such as admin and pluribus. Logins for both these types of accounts are disabled if a TACACS+ server is configured with the authen-local option.
NetVisor OS tracks errors between itself and the TACACS+ server and if a communication error occurs, local authentication is allowed until communication with the TACACS+ server is re-estalished. Local authentication is allowed after three failed attempts to reach the TACACS+ server. This enables the recovery of the system if TACACS+ is unreachable.
To create a TACACS+ account named tac having local scope with no local authentication privilege, use the command:
CLI (network-admin@switch) > aaa-tacacs-create name tac scope local server appliance.pluribusnetworks.com authen-local
To create a secret key, use the command:
CLI (network-admin@switch) > aaa-tacacs-modify secret name tac
shared secret:
confirm shared secret:
CLI (network-admin@switch) >
To modify the configuration and to allow local authentication, use the command:
CLI (network-admin@switch) > aaa-tacacs-modify name tac no-authen-local
Use the parameters author-local and acct-local to configure for locally authenticated accounts the sending of authorization and accounting messages to the TACACS+ server. For example:
CLI (network-admin@switch) > aaa-tacacs-modify name tac author-local acct-local
The vtysh command is used to display FRR information from the CLI. To use the vtysh command, you must first enter the shell prompt.
To specify the service for authorization and accounting messages for shell and vtysh commands, use the commands:
CLI (network-admin@switch) > aaa-tacacs-modify name tac service-shell unix-shell
CLI (network-admin@switch) > aaa-tacacs-modify name tac service-vtysh vtysh-shell
If service-shell or service-vtysh is not specified, then the value specified under the service option is used.
For example, if a service or service-shell is not specified, the default service, that is, shell will be used for authorization and accounting of shell and vtysh commands.
To view the configuration, use the command:
CLI (network-admin@switch) > aaa-tacacs-show
name scope server port timeout priority authen authen-local authen-method sess-acct cmd-acct acct-local sess-author cmd-author author-local service service-shell service-vtysh
---- ----- ------------------------------ ---- ------- -------- ------ ------------ ------------- --------- -------- ---------- ----------- ---------- ------------ ------- ------------- -------------
tac local appliance.pluribusnetworks.com 49 10 1 on off chap on off off on off on shell unix-shell vtysh-shell
To delete a specific TACACS+ configuration, use the aaa-tacacs-delete command:
CLI (network-admin@switch) > aaa-tacacs-delete name <name-string>
To display the status of the TACACS+ server, use the aaa-tacacs-status command:
CLI (network-admin@switch) > aaa-tacacs-status name tac
name server port priority status
---- ------------------------------ ---- -------- ------
tac appliance.pluribusnetworks.com 49 1 up
Note :
- The default network-admin account is exempt from all TACACS+ configuration as a fail-safe account for network designs without a TACACS+ server and also to allow access to Pluribus Networks facilities if TACACS+ is unavailable or unreachable.
- The pluribus account password is the same as the network-admin password and when the network-admin password is changed, the pluribus account password also changes. The login shell for the pluribus account is nvauditsh.
- The admin account requires a code from Arista (previously Pluribus) Networks Customer Advocacy to login. Because you can access the shell through the CLI, the admin account is rarely needed. The login shell for the admin account is adminsh.
- The adminsh shell uses nvauditsh to enable auditing for commands run from the admin account.
When the TACACS+ server is configured with the authen-local option and is working correctly:
- Local users such as admin or pluribus are not allowed to login.
- Local users configured by using the user-create or user-modify commands are not allowed to login.
- Authorization and Accounting for shell commands are enabled.
- Authorization and Accounting for FRR commands are enabled.
- You can switch to the shell prompt from the CLI if the user role has the permission to do so.
You can exempt the desired CLI, shell, or vtysh commands from authorization and accounting by using the log-audit-exception-create command. For more information, see Configuring Audit Logging section of the Configuring Network Management and Monitoring chapter.

While news broke this week that Samsung has acquired automotive technology group, Harman Inc. for US$8 billion, Harman itself had already began to establish itself as a force in the connected car technology sector. To strengthen its presence in January 2016, it acquired Towersec, an Israeli cybersecurity firm, to solidify its position as a Tier 1 supplier in the sector. just-auto's Cat Dow caught up with Dvir Reznik, Senior Marketing Manager of Harman Towersec at TU Automotive Munich 2016 to discuss the developments in cybersecurity and the importance of starting from scratch.
just-auto: Security continues to grow as a hot topic. How did you become involved with Towersec?
Dvir Reznik: Automotive has always been a passion for me. I have been driving tractors and cars and, motorcycles—I think I was the first kids in high school who came to school on a tractor because I lived on a farm in Israel! I joined Towersec shortly after the acquisition by Harman. Before that I was working in the start-up industry in Israel for about seven years. Cybersecurity is obviously strong thing in Israel. There are lot of cybersecurity companies in a lot of industries.
j-a: What do you think it is the most pressing issue in the world of cybersecurity for automotive at present?
DR: It's a good question. Standards and legislation and [developing an] understanding of what other requirements from the automakers and from the market itself are key issues. On the one hand you can see a lot of consumers are asking for connected solutions and autonomous driving and you can see that the technology is there. In fact, autonomous driving "technology-wise", it will be available within the next two or three years, but the standardisation—how do you manage autonomous driving, the infrastructure, the insurance implications—we still have some way to go. If the car is manufactured and driven in the US but crosses into a state or country with different laws regarding ethics of autonomous cars, what happens then?
j-a: But those are more social issues than security ones, aren't they?
DR: True, but at some point you need to make cybersecurity part of that plan. Whenever you open up more ports for communication, either through 3G connectivity, or Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, there is more chance of attack. [Non-standardisation of the regulations just exacerbates the complexity]. OTA updates and more devices are coming into the car and though your laptop and smartphone are secure, you can potentially hack the car unwittingly. There is a very real need for more awareness. Not just those endgame scenarios where someone hijacks the car to crash into a tree [but more subtly]. The car is a device and it's a sophisticated piece of hardware and it needs to be protected.
j-a: Is it sufficient to just have security added on?
DR: At some levels, yes. However, I think it now it's time for the OEMs to think of it from a base level; security by a design. We are very strong supporters of that. You can always add layers of security. Our solution, ECUShield, can be retrofitted to existing vehicles but it's very different if you come with a state of mind that is security aware. If you look at Tesla, for instance, they are a software company that are building cars under their cars are very hard to hack and, as we have seen from other videos, there's a good reason for that. They put cybersecurity at the core of their design.
j-a: Do you think that it is enough to protect the connected car, but do you think that there is a need for an end-to-end secure solution from the very beginning?
DR: It's the latter. For the automaker, you need to close at the cycle. With cybersecurity, it's not just about saying 'Hey, I have a cybersecurity solution.' It's not even enough to say I have to detected an attack, or that I've mitigated that attack or I've quarantined it. What am I going to do with it now? I still have a virus. I still have a hack that is present on my ECUShield. That is keeping it away from the vehicle but at the same time that breach is still open. That needs to be addressed. So we must have an end-to-end solution for the OEM. It may be managed by the OEM or it maybe managed by a Tier 1, but [analysis will show] we have detected a set of attacks and it's coming from a single source and it was impacting our specific ECU or a specific telematics unit. We must prepare another campaign so we can push a fix to repair that breach. Eventually hackers will find other ways of penetrating at the vehicle [and so the cycle continues].
j-a: It has been suggested at this conference that the next step is to downsize on the number of ECUs in the vehicle itself to create a multi-purpose ECU which will allow more security? Is that going to be easier to protect?
DR: It may. I understand that the direction that [those suggesting this solution] are coming from. Currently you can have some cars with as many as 100 ECUs. At the same time the car is very sophisticated and very durable. Whenever your iPhone gets to 40°C, it shuts down. Yet, the car can operate at up to 90-95° and then -20 or 30°. Multiple ECUs are very low on resource, yet, can operate in maximum and extreme conditions. If you aggregate all of that– and we are seeing that with PCs also, we are seeing one CPU, one brain that is running the entire device whether it be a laptop or smart phone—it's not as durable as the smallest thing.
It also depends on the network architecture highly how are you building your network architecture? Do you have Gateway that is controlling all of those ECUs? Or do you have several gateways? If you have 100 ECU, you need some sort of centralised router to manage all of that. So I think we will see some kind of consolidation but the fact that the car is very durable, that's something that will be very difficult to recreate, if you are minimising the numbers of ECUs.
j-a: Doesn't a system with multiple ECUs mean that the functions are in a silo and provide a greater level of security?
DR: Each ECU has a file—basically a library of all the messages that go through the network. So you have a finite number of messages and what you do is, you map out, once you create an action in the vehicle—you push the brakes, you turn on cruise control—and there is a command that goes through to various ECUs and tell them what to do. There is logic in this system and although each ECU is in silo, it can still communicate from the others. So the question is, what happens when a rogue message is sending commands? That is the challenge when you have more and more ECUs. That is why I understand the direction to minimise that. But ideally, it needs to start from the bottom. Like a pyramid, if you are thinking securely from the beginning then your network is better protected. You have silos for the operating systems and the menus for the car, you may have silos for the various apps, you have network protection and you have OTA updates. You are building in your entire architecture based on solutions that will fit in the car of the future and the demands of the consumers.
j-a: On that note, do you think that there is a need to reengineer security architecture specifically for the car bearing in mind that the things that we have learned about PCs, which do not require there to be safety function?
DR: In some ways, yes. The car manufacturers are now looking at how you can facilitate stronger demand from the consumer for growth connectivity and storage. That requires you to re-examine cybersecurity, because when you have demands for more storage—intelligent mapping and OTA updates taking place around the car, at the house or at work when the car is not driving on the road–then you need to have all of those elements in place to provide better security and better communication and connectivity to the car. In part, when you are re-engineering the connectivity and the storage elements, you will also take into account cybersecurity.
j-a:What kind of threats exist if third-party app developers are invited to develop for vehicle platforms?
DR: I think it is that the OEM's responsibility at the end of the day because it's their vehicle, it's their reputation. If you had a problem with your airbag, you would not go back to the manufacturer to have it fixed, you would go back to the dealer. I think it the same way here with app developers and the ecosystem. On the one hand, the OEMs need to sure that they have differentiation and how they can operate with consumers and enhance the brand but on the other hand, they need to make sure that the other solutions that they bring in meet the standards. NHTSA recently published a set of guidelines that we will adopt in the next few years that you will be required to follow. Otherwise we won't allow your car or solution on the street.
j-a: The industry has generally been good at self-regulation, but we have seen more issues with cybersecurity. In the attack on the Nissan Leaf, the security expert gave the company six months to deal with the breach otherwise he was going to the media. Sure enough he ended up taking the story to the papers and it was only then the manufacturer responded. What is going through the collective heads of the OEM when this happens? Is the perceived indifference from the OEMs justified?
DR: I think it really depends on the OEM's approach toward cybersecurity and innovation. I can't attest for Nissan or any specific OEM, but in some cases when you look at Tesla, for instance, then they welcomed those hacks. In fact, they awarded the team that found a hack on the Tesla Model S. So it really does depend how open it you are to the advancement being made in the industry. OEMs are really paying attention to cybersecurity solutions and we're really beginning to get a lot of requests for penetration testing project. They asked us to come over, assess the car and let us know what entry points we detect. They want to how we can make their architecture and vehicles more secure and not protected. So you see movement in the OEMs towards understanding and accepting that cybersecurity is here to stay. Those attacks in the last 12 to 18 months really pushed that forward. [The media coverage] raises the awareness levels for the government, too, so they can say 'automotive cybersecurity is a threat and we need to address it now; not in two years time.'
j-a: There has been a lot of talk at the conference about openness and open systems. Do they create more complexity for cybersecurity? Or do they make it easier to fight potential threats?
DR: Openness makes [the issue of cybersecurity] more complex. When you have an open system it means that can be changed by anyone. If you have an open system in the vehicle, then that is a potential threat. It is a potential entry point. You can have certain solution on an OS embedded into the vehicle and you're saying to developers 'come and change whatever you want'. I don't know how fast the adoption of that will be and what areas it will be. Perhaps it will be silo-ed to the infotainment or other systems that are more consumer-facing and have no impact on the vehicle safety system or the vehicle drivetrain. These are safety critical systems and you can't give access to the gear shift or the engine, at the cost of a better looking infotainment system.
j-a:What cost can consumers expect to see in terms of the expensive equipment now being in the vehicle? Will there be a premium for cybersecurity protection, which will affect the price to the end user?
DR: I hope not. However, in the beginning, there maybe. I don't think it should be an opt it. It is not a feature like a 17-speaker sound system, so it should be built-in, the same way you have airbags, ESP, and all of those other three-letter acronyms, that give you a safer vehicles. I read recently that the auto industry is the only place at where you have 1 million people dying every year and it's a product that people still continue to buy. Cybersecurity shouldn't be add-on feature because it affects peoples lives. No OEM wants an attack on the vehicle but at some point that they are going to happen and what do you do to be ready for that time do you have a prevention system? Do you have over-the-air update solution to fix the car as soon as possible and not wait one months for it? You don't want to invite all of your customers to the dealership and update through the OBD to dongle. How can you prepare for that day when something like that happens? I think you need to be prepared for that event and that's part of the work that Automotive Industry Standards Committee are doing to share the information with the industry, to set standards, guidelines, benchmarks so that the OEMs Will know what sets one solution from the other. That's a big step. What we are seeing in the US is really leading the charge on that front.
j-a: Is there a priority, in terms of prevention or reaction to cybersecurity attacks? Or are they of equal importance?
DR: They are of equal importance. You can't protect a vehicle that pushes one software update if I can't protect the next update. Eventually, it will be like PCs ,laptops and smartphones. You have your Windows/Mac/Whatever OS devices coming with security, virus protection and a firewall. [The same] will happen with the vehicles too, but it will take a few years yet.
j-a: How many more years? Can you put the timeline on it?
DR: For all of the cars? That's a good question. We will be driving around in autonomous cars but we will have this cool kid still driving his 1995 Mustang that has no connectivity on it. Are we going to allow that? We may say if you want to drive legal you must add connectivity and updatability, and we'll need to check that every six months because the road is getting smarter. It is not like the phone of the laptop that has a lifespan of five years for 10 years. Cars can be 30-40 years old. Technology-wise, let's say by 2025, but it is also a regulatory question.

Money is Changing with Venezuela's Petro Crypto and Central Banks' Digital Currencies (CBDC)
Earlier this year, in February, Venezuela has finally gone through with the launch of their national cryptocurrency, Petro. The coin was said to be the means of dealing with hyperinflation, as their native fiat currency, the bolivar, continues to lose its value almost constantly.
At the time, Petro came as a big breakthrough in dealing with similar financial issues, and it has inspired several countries around the world to consider launching their own coin. However, Petro still stands as the first state-backed crypto, and despite several false starts, it finally arrived in February.
However, things are not as great as everyone expected them to be, as even now, Petro buyers do not have tradeable tokens at their disposal. Despite the fact that Petro was supposedly officially launched, it still remains just an obscure proof of concept. In fact, many have started viewing it as nothing more than a theoretical clone of a privacy coin Dash, which became big in Venezuela since it became a crypto-friendly country.
Petro doesn't have functioning wallets capable of containing it, making transactions in a mystery to everyone, and its miners are supposedly stationed in secret locations known only to the government. Furthermore, there are no crypto exchanges that can exchange the bolivar into Petro, or any other crypto or fiat currency, for that matter. Petro still remains mysteriously absent.
That is, until recently, when Venezuela's citizens, including seniors, received a text, notifying them that their money is transferred to a more convenient financial system made by the government. As seniors, these people had their pensions — however small and worthless due to hyperinflation — taken and converted into something new and unfamiliar. Something that requires a high level of technology proficiency, just to get to a small amount of money. The message also informed them that the money is placed on a stealthily created account which is a part of the "petro savings" program.
Problems Of The New System
However, there was something unusual going on with the Petro block explorer, which only processed around three transactions per minute, while the time between the blocks sometimes took hours. It remains unclear how can this be possible when the number of people now forced to use Petro includes around 4.3 million individuals.
Considering the attention that Petro received at the time, it is not possible that people were unaware of it. And, as they had no way of getting to their money otherwise, the lack of transactions is quite mysterious. In fact, as far as anyone can tell, Petros only exist as part of the government's database. As such, these coins are not the real cryptocurrency. Instead, they exist as CBDC or Central Bank Digital Currency.
This type of money is classified as a digital form of fiat money, and can only be issued by the central bank and used as legal tender. In other words, both Petro and the bolivar are digital, fit the description of fiat currencies, centralized, they have decreed legal tender, they are opaque and arbitrary. According to the IMF (International Monetary Fund), which has defined the CBDC, this type of money might be the next step in money evolution.
However, the biggest issue and risk with this way of handling money lies in the fact that the government has the ability to move money of millions of people without their consent. Many have called this ability "any dictator's economic fantasy". Still, the citizens are desperate for any kind of financial stability, and surviving under such conditions has made learning how to use such money a priority.
After the message was received, around 3% of people converted their petros back into bolivares. However, the process takes 8 days to be completed, and during those 8 days, bolivar has lost yet another 23% of its value.
The problems of centralization were always present, but they are becoming much more obvious with the introduction of digital money. Experiments with money in Venezuela are damaging to its people, and they can lead to oppression. Most experts agree that these are systems that should never be created or used, and that everyone should pay attention to it before it spreads out around the world.

The current state of mental health and existing resources for correctional officers in British Columbia
Proutt, Rebecca Ann
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectCorrectional Officer; Depression; First Responder; Mental Health; Organizational Culture; Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Purpose To assess the current state of mental health and the resources available for correctional officers working in Provincial correctional facilities in British Columbia. The amount of existing literature focusing on Canadian correctional officers as first responders are minimal, with very few focusing on the officers' mental health. Methods Surveys were distributed to 1374 unionized employees in Provincial correctional centres in British Columbia. A mixed-methods approach utilized the SF-36v2 quantitative health survey and open-ended interview-style qualitative questions coded using convergent grounded theory. Results Utilizing a convergent approach to data analysis, SF-36v2 data was analyzed using z-score transformations and comparing results to t-scores derived from the 2009 United States general health survey. The average mental health component score was 34.28 [N=196], with 70% [N=196] meeting the criteria for first-stage depression screening. The general population MCS is 50, with 19% meeting depression criteria. Qualitative themes including abandonment, mortality and death were prevalent. Conclusions The correctional officers surveyed scored significantly lower in every test of mental health and wellness than the general population, with men reporting lower mental wellness than women. Officers reported feeling abandoned by the organization and unable to access proper resources. The employer should make significant efforts to improve their employees' organizational culture and mental health, such as mandatory psychological check-ins and support for officers.

Outdoor Visits
We are excited to announce that we have resumed outdoor visits as of September 3rd. However, the process looks different than previously announced in July. The following procedures will be implemented for outdoor visits moving forward:
- Only one neighborhood will be receiving outdoor visits per day during the week.
- Up to three residents from that specific neighborhood will be scheduled per day, with families arriving at different times throughout the day to avoid contact.
- Our staff will be contacting families to set up an outdoor visit with your loved one. Due to the structure of the new outdoor visit guidelines, we will not be accepting phone calls for visits.
- Only two family members will be allowed to visit during the scheduled time. Please do not bring more than two people to your scheduled visit.
The visits are scheduled at random for each neighborhood, and please know that it may be some time before we contact you for a visit due to the volume of residents we care for. We are committed to keeping our residents safe, therefore we are not permitting families to schedule visits at random. Outdoor visits for McReynolds Center will not be scheduled at this time because it is a transitional quarantine unit.

We have in place new security measures that not only defends against DDoS, but also learns from the attacks.
This will reduce a lot of false positive ip bans and keep the good traffic flowing without interruption.
There is vicious internet attack tools on the net that gets used all the time to try to extort money or agenda's out of companies and we need to team together to help stop the cyber attacks.
Now I originally was only using Config Server Firewall LFD and AI to analyze logs, and was sharing the public block list to everyone that wanted to use it to help cut down on attack traffic, but that just wasn't reliable when it came to taking action in a timely manner.
Now we have deployed CrowdSec Security to go alongside our setup.
Hackers constantly collaborate together, on a world scale. Each IP they control are anonymity tokens to hide their hacktivities. Our only chance is to stand as a crowd and act in a coordinated way, as they do. When you, Sysadmins, Devops & Secops join forces, you outnumber them and can burn their IPs one by one, crippling this precious anonymity.
CrowdSec is an open-source and collaborative EDR.
Analyze behaviors, respond to attacks & share signals across the community.
- Parse logs
Acquire data from any source (syslog, cloudtrails, SIEM, etc.)
- Set up your own intrusion detection system
Apply behavior scenarios to identify cyberthreats
- Automate your security
Define the type of remediation you want to apply and where
- Leverage the community's IP blacklist
Share and benefit from a crowdsourced and curated cyber threat intelligence system
The massively multiplayer firewall
CrowdSec is designed to run seamlessly on virtual machines, bare-metal servers, containers or to be called directly from your code with our API.
Collaborative Security
Our strength comes from our cybersecurity community which is burning hackers' anonymity. By sharing the IP addresses that aggressed you, you help us curate and redistribute a qualified IP blacklist to protect everyone.
High performance
Written in Golang, CrowdSec is 60x faster than its predecessor (Fail2ban) and can parse massive amounts of logs in no time. Agents can read log files, SIEM events, through a network socket and can be used in high throughput networks. For CPU & RAM-constrained assets, bouncers can just make very light API calls.
Multilayer & IPV6 ready
No matter if your servers or attackers are using IPV4 or IPV6 addresses, CrowdSec will do the job. This next-gen HIDS has been designed to not only deal with IPs but also with user sessions and more business-oriented layers.
GDPR Compliant
Sharing is caring but privacy matters even more. We collect the very strict minimum in order to be GDPR compliant. Hence, we never export your logs and the only data sent for curation are a timestamp, the aggressive IP, and the scenario used in the attack.

ENG vs SL Live Match, 2nd ODI Match Live Streaming | Sky Sports Live | Today Match Live England vs Sri Lanka | Geo Super Live | How to watch Live Match Online
England vs Sri Lanka Preview:
It would not be a surprise if, at times during this tour of England, Sri Lanka's bowlers had cast suspicious glances across the dressing room at their batsmen. After all, in three of the four white-ball matches so far, Sri Lanka's bowlers have had periods of play when they have been on top of England's much-heralded batting line-up. All of those matches ended in defeat, of course, but had Sri Lanka's batsmen been able to contribute more, a different result may have been possible. It has been a one-sided tour so far but at least half of Sri Lanka's team has been operating well.
In the second T20I in Cardiff, for instance, England were reduced to 36 for 4 but were only chasing a paltry 111 which meant they had time to sit in and recover, take the sting out of Sri Lanka's bowlers and ease their way to the target. Even another 30 runs would have tested them far more. In the opening ODI in Durham, it was a similar story. After Jonny Bairstow's initial blitz, Sri Lanka took four wickets for 26 runs and were back in the game. England, however, were never in any real danger because they were only chasing 185. Again, another 50 runs might have made things interesting. In the final T20I, Sri Lanka bowled first and claimed five for 19 at the back end of the innings to keep England's total within reach. Then they were bundled out for just 91.
Pitch Condition & Weather Report:
The Oval surface is one of the best for batting in the country which should at least give Sri Lanka's beleaguered batsmen some cause for optimism. They could not ask for a better pitch to find their form again. The forecast for the game is good, with sun and temperatures in the mid-20s expected although whoever wins the toss will probably want to field first. Of the last eight completed day-night games at The Oval, seven have been won by the side batting second.
Probable best Players of the match
Top Picks – Batsmen
Joe Root was the saviour for England in the 1st ODI. He took up the responsibility in the run-chase when wickets were tumbling at the other end and scored an important 79* runs to give his team a 1-0 lead in the series.
Dasun Shanaka was dismissed by an absolutely unplayable deliver in the 1st ODI for just one run. He is a decent player and should be included in your fantasy teams.
Top Picks – All-Rounders
Chris Woakes bowled exceptionally well with the new ball in the 1st ODI by not giving any sort of room for the Sri Lankan batters. He was the player of the match for his figures of 4 for 18 in his 10 overs.
Wanindu Hasaranga played some fantastic shots in the 1st ODI and scored his 3rd half-century. He was hitting through the line very well until he was dismissed for 54 runs from 65 balls.
Top Picks – Bowlers
David Willey had an excellent game in the 1st ODI. He swung the ball both ways and picked up 3 wickets at an economy of 4.40.
Dushmantha Chameera is the pick of the bowlers for Sri Lanka in the 1st ODI. He utilized the extra pace in the wicket and scalped 3 crucial wickets.

I think it depends on your audience during the interview. When applying to jobs, I'll send my site with long form, written case studies for the Hiring Manager to read through. If I'm presenting to 1 or 2 people, I'll use these same case studies to guide the conversation. That way, it's easy to do a deep dive.
When asked to present my work to a larger group – especially when it consists of cross-functional team members – I'll use a deck. In those presentations, I believe the emphasis is on your ability to tell a story about your work. Having a deck is easier to anchor the story.
I'm 26 and I think about this all the time. I work as an in-house designer for a company in the HR space. We frequently conduct user interviews with people searching for jobs and we frequently hear about acts of ageism. This is not specific to design, but it is especially prevalent in the tech industry. As the world becomes more digital, I feel like this will only get more pronounced. It is heartbreaking and it would be foolish to think we're immune to it.
Personally, I don't see myself ever retiring with a capital R because work is fulfilling for me and it keeps my brain active. That being said, I want to be in a place where I feel financially secure so as to not panic if something goes awry. I expect to have fewer work opportunities as I get older so I anticipate needing to find ways to support and fulfill myself.
This is really cool! Reminds me a lot of the Quartz app. The preselected responses are a great way to direct the visitor. My one criticism is that the chat content seems at odds with the rest of your portfolio. You're using the chat to share resources before I've learnt anything about you. It'd be great to 'interact' with you a little more before I start receiving articles.

Banana Tree Bloom Stages
The stages of a banana plant's flowers is a case of "After you!" The female flower forms and creates the fruit, with no need of pollination by a male flower. Only after the fruit appears do the male flowers emerge.
Bananas (Musa spp.) grow in USDA hardiness zones 8 to 11, where they are fast growers. However, depending on conditions, they don't always produce edible fruit, depending on the variety.
Life Stages of the Banana
First off: Bananas are not trees; instead, they are herbaceous herbs, the largest in the world, according to Evergreen University. Therefore, they have no trunk but rather a pseudostem that grows from their underground rhizomes. These rhizomes product multiple nodes, each of which becomes a banana "pup," or new stem. This pup is a clone of the mother plant and begins to grow its own leaves – long, cigar-shaped leaves that unfurl.
Depending on the variety and largely on the climate and other conditions, the banana plant produces flowers in 12 to 18 months. Best practices dictate that you only allow one stem in a stand of bananas to retain its fruit to ensure that enough energy is channeled into fruit production. Fruits ripen in three or four months. After flowering and fruiting, the stem dies. In cultivation, growers then cut down the stalks, usually leaving them in the field as mulch where they decay and provide nutrients to the new pups.
To propagate new bananas, dig out and cut away a pup when it's about 3 feet tall, but wait until there are three or four other young stalks to anchor the main plant before removing one. Cut it close enough to the parent plant to be able to get some roots. Cut off the leaves; then plant it in the new location.
Banana Tree Flowers
The female banana flower emerges out of the top of a stalk. These produce the ovaries that develop into the "hands" that are part of every stalk of banana fruits. Needing no pollination, they develop into the iconic seedless fruit found in every supermarket in the United States.
Once the fruits have all appeared, the flower elongates, producing a long tail with a large, red bud hanging upside-down at the end. This bud contains the male organs.
All these parts have their own botanical names: The thick stalk that attaches to the pseudostem and supports the female flower is the "peduncle," while the rough, elongated tail emerging from the bottom of the bananas is the "rachis." The fruit itself is simply the "bunch."
From Banana Flowers to Fruit
You may be dreaming of harvesting your own bananas, but unless you have at least 18 months of continuous warm weather in your location with no frosts or freezes, you merely have an ornamental banana in your landscape.
Banana flowers and their accompanying fruit usually appear in late summer and then winter over, ripening in mid-spring, according to California Rare Fruit Growers, but an unexpected freeze will abort the process. Sometimes, banana stalks appear in summer instead and ripen before winter.
Harvest the entire banana fruit stalk at one time when the bananas are still green, but plump; then hang it in a cool, dry location and cut off the "hands" as needed. Alternatively, harvest individual hands for tree-ripened fruit. Be careful, however, because ripe bananas are perfect bait for rodents, who are adept at eating the insides and making it appear as if the fruit is untouched. To encourage faster ripening, cover the stalk with a plastic bag.

British summer … an error?
Just got to love this, while enjoying Spanish sunshine with Easter temperatures in the high 70sF, thinking of family and friends back in the UK: No summer in the UK? Again? Come and get your fill of sunshine in sunny Andalucía.

The design is said to be remarkably similar to what "a Surface would look like as a regular smartphone."
The current phone Microsoft sells is the Surface Duo 2 – it's a foldable that runs Android just like the previous Surface Duo. However, the new phone in testing, according to those familiar with the matter, features a non-folding 6.5″ display.
Its supposed screen size is the same as the previous Max variants of the iPhone XS and iPhone 11 Pro. This display size would be a great target for Microsoft, and depending on what features the phone offers, it could actually sell very well.
It would be the first normal Microsoft smartphone (not foldable) since the Microsoft Lumia, which was a failed Windows Phone. The Windows Phone died because it didn't have proper app development. Developers didn't create apps for Windows 10 Mobile like they did for Apple's App Store or Google's Play Store.
If this device runs Android, it will obviously be well optimized for the Google Play Store, fixing Microsoft's previous problem.
If Microsoft can pull off a successful Surface phone that is not foldable, it may also optimize it with its own silicon. I've heard, as well as others, Microsoft has begun working on its own silicon to rival Apple's A and M series chips, as well as Google's new Tensor chip for the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.
That would bring huge advantages to Microsoft as this device could effectively contend with the competition, but it will likely not be as powerful as the iPhone, just like Google's Tensor cannot compete with Apple's chip offerings.
To be impactful, Microsoft needs to make sure that it packs in better battery life, as well as 120Hz, and of course, why not make a pro model? but I haven't heard anything about that at this time. Microsoft also needs to improve upon its cameras and feature a triple-camera setup like its competition offers.
Is Microsoft's "regular" phone too little too late?

President Rodrigo Duterte has acknowledged the possibility that not all his preferred candidates would win the 12 senatorial spots in the upcoming elections on Monday.
After endorsing to the public the candidates he supports during a campaign rally in Bohol late Wednesday evening, the President said "the law of averages" worked against a sweep by his senatorial picks.
But he again advised voters to "think hard" before supporting opposition candidates.
"Think hard and sleep on it tonight. It's just around the corner," Duterte said after slamming the opposition Otso Diretso again in his speech.
"Look at Otso Diretso. You've seen them and you know how they perform," Duterte said, accusing the opposition of using black propaganda against his administration.

He singled out former Interior secretary Manuel Roxas II for criticism.
"I will not try to convince you that what he did is great. I will just share my sentiments about him. It's my personal opinion. If you don't believe me, fine. It's not a problem," he said.
Duterte said Roxas acts "like a senyorito" in public while "the fool is very arrogant" in private.
"There are people who have weak principles just like Mar. Why should I even be surprised?" he said.
"You do not need Mar Roxas in your life, ladies and gentleman. I'm telling you. You don't need him," he added.
The President endorses the senatorial bids of former Philippine National Police chief Ronald dela Rosa, his former assistant, Christopher Go, former political adviser Francis Tolentino, Maguindanao 2nd District Rep. Zajid Mangudadatu, and reelectionist Senator Aquilino Pimentel III.
He also campaigns for folk singer Freddie Aguilar, re-electionist Senators Juan Edgardo Angara, JV Ejercito, and Cynthia Villar, Taguig City Rep. Pia Cayetano, and Ilocos Norte Gov. Imee Marcos.
The President vowed to deliver peaceful elections this year and reminded all candidates not to resort to violence and let the people exercise their right to vote freely.
He also ordered members of the Armed Forces and the police to remain neutral during the campaign period and election.
Hours before attending the campaign in Bohol, Duterte said he dropped by Negros Occidental to confront a local chief executive suspected of creating a ruckus.
"Well, there's a certain mayor that's really the suspect of everybody. So, I confronted the mayor. I talked to him," he said, without mentioning the mayor's name.
Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said the country's armed forces have prepared themselves for the elections.
"The military and police are prepared," Lorenzana said.
The Commission on Election, however, said that it has received dozens of complaints about rampant vote buying.
Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said several candidates still resorted to "money politics" to bribe voters, saying cases of vote buying in the final leg of the election campaign are very common during elections.
In a forum, Jimenez admitted that there are many last-minute voters who wait for the highest bidder, adding "it's something that's talked about all the time that people are hanging around outside, refusing to go in on the off chance that someone will approach them and give money."
Jimenez urged the public to report any incident of vote buying.

Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon said vote-buying includes giving away of gadgets, cash, and other items, which is an election offense.
Guanzon also appealed to candidates and the public not to participate in vote buying as it tarnishes the image of the election in the country.
Jimenez, on the other hand, said vote buyers and sellers are the only ones to be blamed for the occurrence of vote buying, and not the electoral system.
Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) Commissioner Greco Belgica also urged Filipinos to report cases of vote-buying in their areas.
"We encourage everyone to report all cases of vote-buying. Every report will have a significant effect in our fight against corruption. Do not be afraid. We will protect you and file appropriate charges against the violators," Belgica said in a statement.
Belgica said vote-buying and election fraud destroy the country's democratic process.
"When a candidate chooses to pay for your votes, they show utter disregard for our democratic process and a willingness to use illegal means to further their interests," he added.
Belgica reminded candidates of President Duterte's call for a clean and honest 2019 elections.
"The President is serious in having a clean election," he said.
Belgica endorsed the various vote-buying reports his office received to the Comelec.
Jimenez, meanwhile, reminded the public that the ban on buying, selling and consuming alcoholic drinks will be effective on Saturday midnight and last until midnight of Monday, the day the country goes to the polls.
Comelec data showed that there are 61,843,771 million registered voters nationwide, with females outnumbering males, 31,816,812 to 30,026,959.
Region 4-A has the biggest number of voters with 8,674,351, followed by the National Capital region with 7,074,603 voters and in third is Region III with 6,829,661, while the Cordillera Autonomous Region has the lowest number of registered voters at 1,013,418.
Earlier, the Comelec said voting may take a little longer because of the new voter registration verification system (VRVS), saying voters may need an additional two to 15 minutes to cast their votes.
The new system was designed to identify and verify a voter's registration through live fingerprint scanning of voters assigned in a particular polling precinct.
Jimenez said that before getting an official ballot from the Board of Election Inspector (BEI) at a voting center on election day, a registered voter should first go through the VRVS machine for fingerprint scanning to check his identity and information.
"The VRVS can take at least 2 to 5 minutes to verify. The voter would then be given an official ballot once their registration is confirmed in the system," he said.
"If a voter's information does not appear on the machine after live scanning their fingerprints for four times, an election officer will manually search for the voter's name on the system. Voters may also search their names in the printed voters' list," Jimenez said.
He said the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) will be the command center of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) for the May 9 polls.
This will also be the venue for the canvass of votes for party-list and senatorial candidates.
The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) said Metro Manila is all set for Monday's mid-term elections.
"All the 8,298 vote counting machines (VCM) were delivered in 723 polling centers," NCRPO Chief, Major Gen. Guillermo Eleazar said.
"The final testing and sealing of VCMs are all done and all official ballots were transported from the National Printing Office to the City Treasurer's Office last week," Eleazar added.
The Metro Manila police chief said 16,000 policemen will be deployed to secure Monday's polls.
"This (personnel deployment) is not just in polling centers or canvassing areas but also to maintain our anti-criminality efforts," he said.
"There's no room to be complacent, the criminal elements might strike anytime, anywhere they have an opportunity," Eleazar said.
He also said that the NCRPO continues to implement the gun ban and checkpoint operations all over in Metro Manila until the last day of the election gun ban on June 13.
Eleazar also directed his five district directors to "always ask directives from the Comelec" on possible security problems they will encounter in voting precincts.
He said the PNP has put all its units in Metro Manila on full alert.
"Full alert means the highest level of readiness in all police offices and units and all personnel should be accounted for 100 percent," Eleazar said.
"All leaves are cancelled, except for those that are emergency in nature. All of our policemen are present in their different offices or stations," he added.
The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on Friday placed all its units and camps nationwide on "red" alert.
"The AFP is on red alert status starting 8 a.m., May 10, in support (of) the Commission on Elections, and the Philippine National Police in the upcoming national and local elections," AFP Chief of Staff, Gen. Benjamin Madrigal, said in a statement.
This is to ensure that all military personnel are ready to act on any emergency and respond to possible threats, Madrigal said.
"We are ready to respond appropriately for the honest, orderly, and peaceful conduct of elections," he added.
A total of 98,000 AFP personnel will be deployed to reinforce the more than 143,000 PNP operatives who are tasked to secure the elections.
Earlier, Madrigal said efforts to neutralize security threats, especially in areas with armed groups and lawless elements, will continue to make sure that there will be no failure of election.
He said some 40,000 troops will be tapped for these operations while the rest will secure the actual elections, along with members of the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Unit (CAFGU).
"The AFP will also continue to intensify military operations, intelligence monitoring, community support programs and other efforts to prevent corrupt and destruction elements that intend to jeopardize and disrupt the conduct of the elections," Madrigal said.
Also on Friday, the Department of Energy said the supply of electricity would be sufficient for the entire election week. With PNA
