Rather than repeat myself in this Instructable, I'll just include where the new TV wall differs from the the first.
Step 1: Building the frame
The horizontal braces were fitted to match the width of the TV bracket, and small recesses were cut into the bottom of the frame's sides so that it would fit around the skirting board and be flush to the wall.
As this TV wall was to have a drop down desk, I first bought the piece of pine which would be the desks surface and made the frame the correct width to house it. You could of course do it the other way round, but I wasn't looking for any extra work!
Step 2: Boxing in the frame & fitting the desk
The desk is solid pine and is attached to the horizontal support using two flush-closing hinges. The horizontal support for the desk is fitted further back inside the frame, so that when the desk is in its upright position, it is flush to the front.
To support the desk when it was down, two small curtain-wire eyes were screwed into the top surface of the desk, and two to the downward edge of the upper horizontal support. I used braided steel wire for the supports as the pine desk is pretty heavy.
I also put an extension lead behind the TV bracket so that there would just be one plug coming out of the side of the frame, and I hid an amplified aerial behind the hardboard panel below the bracket for improved reception (sorry for the lack of photo).
Step 3: The 2 inch thick PC!
Working in IT and being a geek when time allows, I luckily I had some parts from an old Media Centre PC and a few I had hoarded over the years. After putting together a rough machine I then had to flatten everything out as much as I could. Luckily, everything fired up on my first go.
Step 4: Casing the PC
After cutting the pasting table to be the same size as the bottom panel of the frame, I set about fitting the PC into it. As the pc was going to be dropped inside the wall, all the fans had holes cut into the lid so that air could still circulate. I also fitted a large wireless aerial and made sure all the connections ran up to what would be the top edge of the case.
Step 5: Covering the frame
As any future wiring changes could easly be made with the desk simply dropped down, the panels could be screwed in and the wallpaper could be wrapped around the front and sides giving a very clean look. The underside of the desk was also wallpapered so it would all match when it was not in use.
Step 6: Adding the PC
The wires were then cable-tied to the inside of the frame, the PC was plugged into the hidden extension lead behind the TV bracket and a USB remote control was added so that the PC can be controlled with the desk up.
Job done!
Either way i just want to be able to have everything (but speakers of course) neatly tucked up in the top corner of the room (electric,cat5,and coax will run to outlets behind tv/htpc)
I'll convince my wife that this is exactly wath we need and make one myself.

This case study analyses the market and financial information with the customer value identification and satisfaction. The future of the coffee industry is very productive and will have high growth in spite of the other existing industries. Strategic Situation analysis and planning is the most effective way of analyzing the industry to get the correct and exact insight of the industry.

Income statements Starbucks has the net revenue of more than USD $ 10.7 billion till year 2010 but as shown in the case study the financial statements of the firm is given for the 6 years from 1994 to 1999. 1600000 1400000 1200000 1994 1000000 1995 800000 1996 1997 600000 1998 400000 1999 200000 0 Net Revenues Net Earnings Fig: Income statements for the 6 years from 1994 to 1999 (US $ Thousands) For the period of 6 years from 1994 to 1999 the above graph shows that the net sales of the company got increase by 80 percent in the last 6 years that indicates the rapid growth in the sales of the company. The net earnings of the company also got increase by many folds from the year 1994 to the year 1999. The position of the company at the time of 1999, seem to be more strong as the growth of the company is more than 80 percent which is a good sign to the growth of the coffee industry. 2. Balance sheets Starbucks Company in year 1994 has the lowest assets and in year 1996 the assets were higher because the company expanded its coffee business and production centers across the world so there were highest assets during that period. In year 1994 the assets were USD $ 84150 and in year 1996 assets were USD $ 339541 so the increasement in the asset value for the next 2 year became 400 % means 4 times more
than the asset value in year 1994. The liabilities of the Starbucks coffee industry in year 1994 were 50 percent of the total assets and also in year 1999 the liabilities of the company were more than 60 percent this shows that the company has liabilities for the expansion of the business as from the banks and also from the investors. 400000 350000 300000 1994 250000 1995 200000 1996 1997 150000 1998 100000 1999 50000 0 Assets Liabilities Fig: Balance Sheet for the 6 years from 1994 to 1999 (US $ Thousands) 3.

As shown in the above chart the net margins of the sale to the coffee industries, is higher for the starbucks than other coffee industries as the net margins for starbucks is 6.0 % and the lowest is -14.0 % . This indicates that the profit of the starbucks coffee industry signify about the growth and customer data base as much higher. 400 350 1994 300 1995 250 1996 200 1997 150 1998 100 1999 50 0 Total Cash Investment ROI Fig: Return on the invested Cash for the 6 years from 1994 to 1999 (US $ Thousands) The starbucks industry's total invested fund for the six years from 1994 to the year 1999 has been shown in the above figure. The highest total invested fund was in year 1995 and the lowest investment was in year 1999 this means that the asset value got reduce over the time but the return on the invested fund over the time got increase that means the projected fund for the firm was up to the expectation in coming years. The higher return value suggests that the customer satisfaction was good and also the increase in sell was higher. 4. Shareholder value Shareholder value for the starbucks company got increase by many folds over the six years time duration from year 1994 to year 1999.

Management financial preferences, objectives and strategies The financial preferences for the firm were not increase the sales and also increase in the customer base. The basic objective of the firm is to serve the quality coffee products to the customers across the world. For this the firm developed number of strategies to achieve this. Business Competitive Environment 1. Identification of stakeholders and competition The stakeholders of the starbucks coffee industry include of all the people irrespective of their category to the closeness to the company. There are number of competitors in the market such as Costa Coffee, Nescafe, Boss Coffee, and Maccona etc. These coffee brands are also expensive and highly used in the different countries across the world so it seems as having the good competitor in the coffee chain industry. Mainly the competition is of two different kinds such as product based competition and another is retail based competition. Starbucks's strong competition is with the Costa Coffee and with the Second Cup as these two industries retain the more than 80 percent market in the coffee industry. 2. Target customer-or-client to industry-level business connections analysis
Starbucks is the largest coffee industry with 19555 stores in the 58 countries. Starbucks sell cold drinks, soft drinks, coffee beans, salads, cold and hot sandwiches, sweet pastries and snacks etc. More than this the firm also has coffee house chain across the world. 3. Quantifying market, segment The company's market size is bigger than the other coffee producing firms. Only in USA the purchase of the coffee is around 20 percent. The reports say that the coffee consumption pattern has changed and now the daily consumption is 1.7 cup per day per person. Population demographics are necessary to analyze by the firm because it helps in targeting to the customers. Age Group Distribution 18-24 25-34 35-54 >55 Fig: Age wise group distribution for the starbucks coffee Customer Profile College Students 30% Urban Areas 14% Rural Areas 5% Stay at home 1% Single People 24% Mothers at home 26% Fig: Customer Profile who purchased coffee from Starbucks
Mostly the coffee is used by the people who are under the age group from 35 – 54 and also 18-24 but the percentage is much higher for the college group students as they purchase coffee more. In families the percentage that purchased coffee is very less. The coffee is purchased for more than 58 countries in the world but mostly in Europe areas. 4. Market and technology life-cycles Starbucks have only concern of the brand equity because Starbucks is not only a place of coffee chain but also for the place and experience. The strategy is to develop brand beyond the preferred outlet and also increase in the number of retail stores. The aim of the firm is to retain its core coffee brands across the world. Starbucks always go for improvement of the technology as internet its first priority. The first generation of the ecommerce website was launched on 1998 and then it upgraded the servers of the IT channel to distribute and speeding up the work. The main challenge for the firm is to define its brand image over the years and the development of technology that can assist to increase the technological flexibility over the internet. New material processing, research and development, and software up-gradation are also core need to enhance the production, operation facilities and quality of the coffee. 5. Five-forces analysis and industry value chain The industry structure of the Starbucks Company can be analyzed with the help of five force model analysis. It will help in identifying the competitive environment. The threat of entry: Because of being a more hectic competition in the coffee chain market, the new entrants can easily enter. This will not create any issue to the Starbucks because it already has a large share of the coffee market in the world. The power of buyers: The volume purchase for the coffee is higher so it increases the concentration of buyers. Powers of buyers is higher where the large players in market are less. Switching cost of the suppliers for the starbucks is low. The power of suppliers: In the coffee chain industry, the market is dominated with the big players so the power of suppliers as bargaining power is higher. In case of Starbucks the coffee brands are directly purchased from the production countries like Brazil etc.
The threat of substitutes: It will only happen in case if the large customer base shifts from coffee to the tea. There are few strong factors that help starbucks to retain its core coffee brands in the market. Competitor Analysis: Each year there is significant increase in the coffee shops and coffee chain industries. The price cuts, increase in aggressive products are few activities which will make Starbucks coffee industry in trouble. Percentage 6. Industry experience curve and company learning curve 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Industry Experience Learning Before 1990 After 2010 For period of 20 years Fig: Industry experience and learning curve for starbucks It shows that for the last 20 years the company has learnt a lot and that learning has been converted in to actions as industry experience. Industry experience definitely helped to the firm to grow in to a giant in the coffee industry chain. Business Mission, Objectives and Strategy 1. Management preferences, mission statements, objectives and strategies The firm has strong management structure to take the lead and making the business strategies so that the brand can be build and also the customer database can be captured at a large scale. The mission of the firm is to nurture the human spirit as one person, one cup and one neighbored at a time. The objectives of the firm are to deliver the coffee to each customer with the help of the partners in the firm and are fully engaged with the customers by connecting and laugh with them and try to uplift the
live of the customers. The main objective is to create a human connection with the customers. 2. General business competitive strategies The business competitive strategies include the leadership, technological advancement; sales operations and supply chain management for the competitive environment because there are number of coffee firms emerging in the market so the price cut and also the quality of the coffee are the two main strategies for the business environment. The firm has maintained the culture and experience on all retail stores and this differentiated it from the other coffee chain companies. Functions/Operations and Organization 1. Company internal functional/operational value chain The internal functionality or the operational value chains of the firm have some struggle because it is difficult to manage the each individual links to have higher customer value. The marketing mix of the firm is very suitable for the customers. Product are of good quality, price of these products are very cheap in accordance with the other firm's products, the firm has number of retail stores in the 58 countries and for promotion the firm used number of strategic approaches to reach its customers. 2. Company resource and capability profile The company has its own retail stores, vehicles for transportation, the production centers, online ecommerce system and delivery to the customers on time. The capabilities include the number of employees and strong leadership and management which makes strategic plans for the firm to grow. 3. Organization analysis and culture The organization's culture is very friendly and it has maintained the six guiding principles to retain the best culture. Every employees of the firm get the health, economic and cultural development with the loyalty to the customers and encourage them to grow themselves and for the firm too.
ANALYTICAL PROJECTIONS INTO THE CHANGING FUTURE Projected Future Changing Business Competitive Environment The increasing number of the competition in the coffee chain industry needs to think about the future strategies and also need to analyze the future projection of the growth and investment. It is expected that the future growth of firm will increase by 400 percent and also need to revise the production environment to retain the core coffee market for the lower prices. Projected Future Environment versus Continuing Present Business Functions/Operations and Organization The future environment of the firm from the case study can be identified as the increase in revenue and customer base because the customers are really liking the Starbucks coffee so the competitive environment will not be too much typical but yes the entering of the new firms in the coffee industry with the high price cut may lead to the trouble for the firm. Also the environment of local business is being captured by other firms in that case it will be difficult to enter in the local business market. Projected Future Environment versus Continuing Present Financial Position and Performance Measures The present financial environment of the firm is stronger and better than other coffee chain industries. As mentioned in the case study that the future environment for the coffee industry is going to very competitive in that case the customer may deviate to the other products and the sales of the firm may reduce if the firm didn't integrate the new methodologies for the quality of the products, reduction in the prices and also the maintaining the retail culture. The revenue may decrease by 30 percent in the near future if the diversities of the products and new technologies are not implemented.
FUTURE DESIRED STRATEGIC POSITION — COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES AND IMPLEMENTION PLANNING For the implementation of the new strategies to have the growth of the firm rapidly and maintain its customer database, there is need of developing the customer value based strategic activities and also the leading team which can take thing forward. The main strategies need to develop for the competitive environment as new entrants are reducing the price of the firms and diversifying the range of the coffee products to attract to the customers. Based on the current scenario and reputation among the world customers it can be said that the desired strategic position for the firm will be on top still. The other future strategies include loyalty programs, cultural and business environment, brand building and current digital marketing strategies. Also the integration of the new technology development and ecommerce are also necessary to be in competitiveness because the future market is totally based on the retail ecommerce and online ecommerce. CONLCUSION Starbucks is one of the world's largest coffee producing industry and coffee house chain industry. The leading team and winning market strategies shows that the firm will grow rapidly in the future. The impact on the customers may lead to the future brand in the coffee industry. REFERENCES 1.

Recent reviews:
July 20, 2015 - I bought the Bear for my calico cat and the coloring matches perfectly, plus she LOVES it! It's just long enough for her to kick scratch it when she's wrestling with it, and she'll chase this one more than her other toys. Not that she's spoiled, but now I'll have to get the Frog and Raccoon for her so she has a full set :)
November 26, 2014 - I bought the bear for my 2 year old cat and he wont play with it.. I like it, its so cute and has a crinkly sound. He has slept with it though so maybe he will get used to it. I never introduced him to any kind of stuffed animals as a baby. Maybe I'm too late or perhaps there's still hope. Nonetheless its a nice size and I'm satisfied with it :)
November 12, 2014 - My cats love this toy. They play with it every day and night. Lots of fun for them. Cricket and Max say paws up.
September 8, 2014 - My cats absolutely love their toy. I had to get two because my other kitty got jealous. They love them just as much as a fresh sock right out of the dryer.
May 11, 2014 - I bought the frog a few weeks ago and my kitty still loves it! We play fetch and she carries it all over in her mouth. It is usually soggy with her drool. Wonderful product purchased for a wonderful cause! Will probably buy more of these in the future!

A bold, mesmerizing novel about the woman known as "Typhoid Mary", the first known healthy carrier of typhoid fever in the early 20th century - by an award-winning writer chosen as one of "5 Under 35" by the National Book Foundation.
Mary Mallon was a courageous, headstrong Irish immigrant woman who bravely came to America alone, fought hard to climb up from the lowest rung of the domestic service ladder, and discovered in herself an uncanny, and coveted, talent for cooking. Working in the kitchens of the upper class, she left a trail of disease in her wake, until one enterprising and ruthless "medical engineer" proposed the inconceivable notion of the "asymptomatic carrier" - and from then on Mary Mallon was a hunted woman.
In order to keep New York's citizens safe from Mallon, the Department of Health sent her to North Brother Island where she was kept in isolation from 1907-1910. She was released under the condition that she never work as a cook again. Yet for Mary - spoiled by her status and income and genuinely passionate about cooking - most domestic and factory jobs were heinous. She defied the edict.
Bringing early 20th-century New York alive - the neighborhoods, the bars, the park being carved out of upper Manhattan, the emerging skyscrapers, the boat traffic - Fever is as fiercely compelling asTyphoid Mary herself, an ambitious retelling of a forgotten life. In the hands of Mary Beth Keane, Mary Mallon becomes an extraordinarily dramatic, vexing, sympathetic, uncompromising, and unforgettable character.
©2013 Mary Beth Keane (P)2013 Simon & Schuster Audio
"Captivating Retelling"
I haven't written a book review in awhile but felt compelled to write this one. I enjoyed Mary Beth Keane's the Walking People and once I heard the subject matter for this book, I was sold. A historic trial? A medical mystery? I couldn't have picked a novel I more wanted to read.
I hope that is not a spoiler to note that Mary Mallon was the first well known 'healthy' carrier of Typhoid Fever. She was asymptomatic and since little was known about how sickness spread, it was hard for people to recognize the health risk she posed. She was a cook and though out breaks of Typhoid seemed to follow her wherever she was employed; she refused to believe she could be the source of the fever. Even after she was confronted with the possibility that she was spreading the fever. She refused to cooperate. She continued to cook until she was arrested and deatined. She wasn't released for two years and only after agreeing not to cook. Despite all this, she cooks again. Changes her name and continues to cook until she is recaptured.
Enter Keane to deliver an entirely unexpected novelization of her life. The tendency to sort of side with Mary and vilify her treatment and compare it with others (non-working class males who may have received much better treatment) and conclude Mary was treated unfairly. Or try and convince readers that Mary's recklessness led to unnecessary deaths even after the danger she posed to others was explained to her. Keane does something else. She seems to take both sides-- rallying a little for Mary and then highlighting her unsafe obstinacy. So the reader is both frustrated with and sympathetic towards, Mary.
Keane once again plays with time beginning somewhere in the middle of Mary's story and then hopping all around throughout her life similar to her The Walking People narrative. Maybe more successfully this time, but I am still unsure why authors belabor this technique when a simple straightforward arc would serve.
What is known about Mary seems to all be spot on, but Keane adds a lot too. For instance additional deaths, a fabricated alcoholic live in lover, and a backstory are all provided. I'm torn too to what this all adds. A historical novelization works best for me when it holds as closely to the truth as possible. However these additive also provide period detail to further set Mary's drama.
I am beginning to realize it sounds as if I am conflicted about the book which I am not. I highly recommend it for any historical fiction fans. Mary's story horrified me, disgusted me, and baffled me in turns. I was genuinely engaged in Mary's story from the very first through the last page.
And though the narrator slips in and out of an Irish accent inexplicably, she otherwise does a good job.
Fever is a terrific historical & literary novel. Don't miss it! Ms. Thaxton's performance is a notable. She channeled Mary's vulnerability & obtuseness extremely well.
"Makes sense of the person Typhoid Mary"
Fever makes the story of "Typhoid Mary" realistic and also brings up the human rights and gender issues surrounding this case. I assume that the research on the story is true even if the conversations and details fictionalized. This would be a good historic novel for young adults to understand some of the medical discovery and human rights issues surrounding this story. This is a great story to understand the development of research on infectious diseases.
The courtroom decision and the consequences for Mary.
No have not listened to others
The Italian widow and her 2 sons allowing Mary to live with them.
Typhoid Mary is usually discussed as an infectious disease and epidemiology story. I had known none of the details of this woman and the consequences of discovery of carriers. There are important lessons that can be learned from this story.
I was engaged throughout. historical fiction at its best. I knew a bit of the story, but to hear it this way was wonderful. great performance as well.
Ce n'est pas grave!
I enjoyed listening to this fascinating story about "Typhoid Mary" and NYC at the turn of the 20th century. The narrator was outstanding, with just enough expression, but not extreme or distracting. Excellent "Daily Deal".
"Entertaining, but not in a happy way"
I enjoyed the book. A stronger Irish accent would have been cool, but it wasn't bad. I don't get that Mary didn't "get it" that she was killing people. That was frustrating to me. I would still recommend the book.
"Germ Woman"
As I read about the life of Mary Mallon, at first I hated her, then was proud of her for being so ambitious, then felt sorry for her....then went on to repeat said feelings. I don't know what I'd do if I turned out to be a healthy carrier of typhoid fever! What a burden to bear your whole life! This woman, who came to be known as Typhoid Mary, was brash and bold and stubborn. Unpleasantly so. (Although today we would describe a woman like her as ambitious, breaking a glass ceiling!) But by the end, after she finally believed what the doctors had told her all along, she was almost to be pitied.
The book brought early twentieth century New York City and Mary Mallon alive for me. I love to read about people who have lived interesting lives (mine is so dull!)
"interesting history; flawed novel"
The first half of this novel moved back and forth in time. It covers the time Typhoid Mary is accused of spreading typhoid, including her lengthy forced quarantine and trial. More than half the book is a series of flashbacks about Mary's earlier life as an Irish immigrant, making it as a cook in America. These flashbacks seem random, sometimes going further back and sometimes later. This prevented me from entering the flow of this historical novel. The second half of the novel moves ahead linearly from the trial onward, and was much better. Mary's long term relationship with Alfred, a neer-do-well charismaic man, was one of the best parts of the book. Mary is not especially likeable, but she is an interesting and believable character. This book did a great job at capturing life for a single woman in NYC in the early 20th century, While this is a mixed review, I am glad I read this 3.5 star book. And I do find myself thinking a lot about the book when I am not reading.
"Found this a powerful story, beautifully narrated"
I don't know which was more mesmerizing, Mary Mallon's perceptions of her own life as woven by Mary Beth Keane, or Candace Thaxton's lovely and insightful narration. Vivid historical detail helps the reader enter Mary's life as a working class immigrant with no financial or social safety net, burdened by a public accusation she did not understand or accept. A grim and troubling portrait of the times and one courageous but flawed woman.

Second ISB Master Plan Meeting Seeks Resident Input In Daytona Beach
Daytona Beach, FL-Emphasizing that this is only a study at this point, FDOT's Jennifer Horton is encouraging locals to give their input into the future of the ISB corridor during a meeting Tuesday night at Daytona State College. It's the second meeting for the ISB Master Management Plan as the study gathers research and drills down on what the future of the busy corridor could look like. FDOT's news release says "The purpose of the study is to develop a more comprehensive and up-to-date master plan, including an implementation program, to guide and coordinate safety, transit enhancements, congestion management and economic development investment along the US 92 corridor. The project limits are from Interstate 4 (I-4) to State Road (SR) A1A (Atlantic Avenue) in Daytona Beach." In an interview with the Morning Drive on WNDB, Horton talked about plans to do away with those free-flow right turn lanes at the Clyde Morris Boulevard intersection and to put in traffic roundabouts at ISB and Peninsula and ISB and A-1-A. She says recent research has shown those traffic roundabouts are safer than other traffic configurations. Horton emphasized that one of the top study priorities is safety for bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists along the busy roadway. The event includes an open house from 5:30 to 7PM with a presentation at 6PM. The meeting is at Daytona State College at 1200 West ISB in Building 110 and Room 112. Maps and drawings will be among the items on display and Horton says the Study Team will be on hand to answer questions. The study, when complete, will be given to the City of Daytona Beach and the TPO for further consideration. 2015 Southern Stone Communications Copyright See source on NewsDaytonaBeach.com

Thank you……………..
Before laptops and smartphones, getting away from the Internet was easy. At least, you had a choice. Now most anywhere you are, your most useful and addictive sites, apps and feeds are as close as your pocket or purse.
In a recent Facebook Question, we found that more than 83% of respondents plan to use the Internet in one way or another while on holiday. 41% will connect on their laptops while 35% will depend on their mobile devices for their digital fix.
Using your devices while away from home presents some security risks. Whether you chose to plug in, tune out or a little of both, a few precautions will help keep your data and your identity safe while you enjoy a little rest and relaxation.
Backup your PC and update your system and security software
A patched and protected PC is your best defense against any online threat. But because you can't always predict what will happen to your actual laptop or device, you should make certain your irreplaceable documents and media are all backed up and safe in cloud or at home.
Contact your credit card company to let them know if you'll be traveling abroad
If you've ever been a victim of credit card fraud, you know the charges can start coming from anywhere. Thus credit card companies often block transactions that are made far away from your home. While this is for your own protection, it can hinder you when you're in the midst of your travels. Be proactive. Let your card company know your travel plans when you're going abroad.
Don't post your travel plans on your public social networks
When you live online, it makes feels comfortable to share your personal lives with people you don't know that well. If you're a master of privacy settings or Google+ Circles, you can feel more comfortable sharing your itinerary. They key point: don't tell anyone your travel plans who you online wouldn't tell in real life.
Secure your browsing when using public Wi-Fi
If you're connecting to a wireless network you don't control, use a VPN. If you can't, secure your browsing whenever possible with https connections.
Use extra precautions on public computers
You never can know for sure what sort of malware is on a public computer. Your every keystoke could be logged. When using a public computer, avoid online banking and shopping. And use one-time passwords if they are available as they are for Facebook and Google.
Watch for shoulder surfers
Keep on an eye who is watching what you type and input. And if you leave your laptop in your room, leave it in a safe when available.
Check the credit card you used for irregularities
Reviewing the bill of the card or cards you've used for travel and/or online purchases is always a good idea. Report any questionable charges ASAP.
Backup your pictures and videos from your trip
The sooner you get your media backed up, the better the chance that you'll be enjoying digital memories of your trip for years into the future.
Now share your pictures with you social networks
Or don't. Either way, you're safely back up home with your PC and your memories intact.
The user register of AshleyMadison has been hacked. You don't know what that is? Well, that's perfectly fine. It's a dating site for people who want to cheat on their spouses. Many dislike this site for moral reasons, but there is apparently a demand for it. The Canadian site has some 37 million users globally! Some user data has already been leaked out and the hackers, calling themselves Impact Team, have announced that they will leak the rest unless the site shuts down. So this hack could contribute to many, many divorces and a lot of personal problems! "We will release all customer records, profiles with all the customers' sexual fantasies, nude pictures and conversations and matching credit card transactions, real names and addresses." The Impact Team This is one hack in a long row, not the first and certainly not the last site hack where user data is leaked. But it is still remarkable because of the site's sensitive nature. Think about it. What kind of information do you store in web portals and what bad could happen if that data leaks out? If you are cheating on your spouse, then that is probably one the most precious secrets you have. Disclosure of it could have devastating effects on your marriage, and maybe on your whole life. Millions of users have put their faith in AshleyMadison's hands and trusted them with this precious secret. AshleyMadison didn't misuse the data deliberately, but they failed to protect it properly. So it's not that far-fetched to say that they cheated on the cheaters. What makes the AshleyMadison hack even worse is the site's commercial nature. Users typically pay with a credit card issued in their own name. They can appear anonymously to their peers, but their true identities are known to the site owner, and stored in the database. So any leaked information can be linked reliably to real people. The sad thing is that the possibility of a leak probably never even crossed the mind of these 37 million users. And this is really the moral of the story. Always think twice before storing sensitive information in a data system. You must trust the operator of the system to not misuse your data, but also to have the skills, motivation and resources to protect it properly. And you have very poor abilities to really verify how trustworthy a site is. This is not easy! Refraining from using a site is naturally the ultimate protection. But we can't stop using the net altogether. We must take some risks, but let's at least think about it and reflect over what a compromised site could mean. This hack is really interesting in another way too. AshleyMadison is a highly controversial site as cheating is in conflict with our society's traditional moral norms. The hack is no doubt a criminal act, but some people still applaud it. They think the cheaters just got what they deserved. What do you think? Is it right when someone takes the law in his own hands to fight immorality? Or should the law be strictly obeyed even in cases like this? Can this illegal hacking be justified with moral and ethical arguments? [polldaddy poll=8989656] Micke Image: Screenshot from www.ashleymadison.com
Hacking is in the news. The U.S. recently disclosed that it was the victim of what may the biggest, most consequential hack ever. We hacked some politicians. And a group called "Hacking Team" was hacked itself. Brian Krebs reports: Last week, hacktivists posted online 400 GB worth of internal emails, documents and other data stolen from Hacking Team, an Italian security firm that has earned the ire of privacy and civil liberties groups for selling spy software to governments worldwide. The disclosure of a zero-day vulnerability for the Adobe Flash Player the team has used has already led to a clear increase of Flash exploits. But this story has a larger significance, involving serious questions about who governs who can buy spyware surveillance software companies and more. Our Chief Research Office Mikko Hyppönen has been following this story and tweeting insights and context. Reporters from around the world have asked him to elaborate on his thoughts. Here's a look at what he's been telling them 1) What is your opinion about the Hacking Team story? This is a big story. Companies like Hacking Team have been coming to the market over the last 10 years as more and more governments wanted to gain offensive online attack capability but did not have the technical know-how to do it by themselves. There's lots of money in this business. Hacking Team customers included intelligence agencies, militaries and law enforcement. Was what Hacking Team was doing legal? Beats me. I'm not a lawyer. Was what Hacking Team was doing ethical? No, definitely not. For example, they were selling hacking tools to Sudan, whose president is wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court. Other questionable customers of Hacking Team include the governments of Ethiopia, Egypt, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. None of these countries are known for their great state of human rights. List of Hacking Team customers: Australia - Australian Federal Police Azerbaijan - Ministry of National Defence Bahrain - Bahrain Chile - Policia de Investigation Colombia - Policia Nacional Intelligencia Cyprus - Cyprus Intelligence Service Czech Republic - UZC Cezch Police Ecuador - Seg. National de intelligencia Egypt - Min. Of Defence Ethiopia - Information Network Security Agency Honduras - Hera Project - NICE Hungary - Special Service National Security Kazakstan - National Security Office Luxembourg - Luxembourg Tax Authority Malaysia - Malaysia Intelligene Mexico - Police Mongolia - Ind. Authoirty Anti Corruption Morocco - Intelligence Agency Nigeria - Bayelsa Government Oman - Excellence Tech group Oman Panama - President Security Office Poland - Central Anticorruption Bureau Russia - Intelligence Kvant Research Saudi Arabia - General Intelligence Presidency Singapore - Infocomm Development Agency South Korea - The Army South Korea Spain - Centro Nacional de Intelligencia Sudan - National Intelligence Security Service Thailand - Thai Police - Dep. Of Correction Tunisia - Tunisia Turkey - Turkish Police USA - FBI Uzbekistan - National Security Service 2) What happens when a company of this kind is a victim of an hacking attack and all of its technology assets are published online? This was not the first time something like this happened. Last year, Gamma International was hacked. In fact, we believe they were hacked by the same party that hacked Hacking Team. When a company that provides offensive hacking services gets hacked themselves, they are going to have a hard time with their customers. In the case of Hacking Team, their customer list was published. That list included several secretive organizations who would rather not have the world know that they were customers of Hacking Team. For example, executives of Hacking Team probably had to call up the Russian secret intelligence and tell them that there's been a breach and that their customership was now public knowledge. The Hacking Team leak also made at least two zero-exploits public and forced Adobe to put out emergency patches out for Flash. This is not a bad thing by itself: it's good that unknown vulnerabilities that are being exploited become public knowledge. But Adobe probably wasn't happy. Neither was New York Times, as they learned that Hacking Team was using a trojanized iOS app that claimed to be from New York Times to hack iPhones. 3) Is it possible to be protected from malware provided by companies like Hacking Team? Yes. We've added detection for dozens of Hacking Team trojans over the years. Hacking Team had a service where they would update their product to try to avoid signature-based antivirus detections of their programs. However, they would have much harder time in avoiding generic exploit detections. This is demonstrated by their own internal Wiki (which is now public). Let me attach a screenshot from their Wiki showing how we were able to block their exploits with generic behavioural detection: Cheers, Sandra [Image by William Grootonk | Flickr]
Time to update Adobe Flash if you use it. So if you do, do it now. Of course, it always feels like time to update Flash. As an internet user, it's become all of our collective part-time job. It's a reminded that while the software is free, your time isn't. This particular update was necessitated by an event you may have heard about. "The flaw was disclosed publicly over the weekend after hackers broke into and posted online hundreds of gigabytes of data from Hacking Team, a controversial Italian company that's long been accused of helping repressive regimes spy on dissident groups," Brian Krebs explained. The Hacking Team hack raised interesting questions about government surveillance and helped rattle nerves this week as computer systems kept planes out of the air and shut down the New York Stock Exchange -- freak incidents that are completely unrelated, according to disclosures thus far. But it doesn't take events like this remind us Flash exploits are so common that they're part of the business model of criminal operations like the Angler exploit kit. The key to security is always running the latest version of everything. So how do you get yourself out of the business of constantly mitigating Adobe Flash risks? Here are three ways. 1. Quit it. This is Brian Krebs' solution. He's lived without it for more than a month as an experiment. "It is among the most widely used browser plugins, and it requires monthly patching (if not more frequently)," Krebs said. And did he notice life without it? "...not so much." So instead of updating, you can just get rid of it. 2. Auto-update. If you're going to keep it, this is the minimum precaution our Security Advisor Sean Sullivan recommends. This will make sure you're getting all the updates and will prevent you, hopefully, from being tricked into downloading malware posing as an update. So turn those "background upgrades" on. 3. Click-to-play. If you're doing number 2, you probably want to do this too. Click-to-play means Flash elements run when you tell them to. Here's how to do it in all your browsers. Not only does this expose you to fewer risks, it makes the internet less annoying and can make your browser quicker. So why not? So what did you choose? Let us know in the comments. Cheers, Jason

Open season: Black men in Cincinnati (& U.S. at large) and Lions in Africa
How a Minnesota dentist mixed up his survival of the fittest ideology plus #BlackLivesMatter. Really, how does it work? If this isn't a perfect example of the self proclaimed superior class that has even transcended national borders for his misguided inherent right to shoot animals for sport? Excuse me? The art of privilege and waste on new horizons... This is not in the human natural reign of necessity or even normal desires of the elite and if it is, it is just as disguisting as the exotic animal market in SE Asia. It is downright demented. Others to blame are the two men in Zimbabwe who lied to the dentist about the situation and took the large amount of money on the take (now under arrest). This mentality projects into the national imagery of rogue cops who think it's okay to haul in women for a bad blinker on their car or just kill on sight of anyone who busts up a traffic violation. Wow. Death is more common than decency. Left and right people die for the most miniscual reasons except the fact that the degradation of man on man crimes is unfathomable and exponential.

KENTUCKY BLOODBATH-Kevin Sullivan
From the author of VAMPIRE: The Richard Chase Murders and The Bundy Murders comes an excursion into the truly weird and the bizarre: from a medieval-esque murder in a small town museum to the jilted boyfriend who decided that his former girlfriend needed to die on her twenty-first birthday. And then there's the demented son who returns home to live with his mother and stepfather, and one night in their beautiful mansion sitting atop a high bluff overlooking the Ohio River, slaughters them. KENTUCKY BLOODBATH: Ten Bizarre Tales of Murder from the Bluegrass State
*Moving America Forward Race, Politics, Religion & Guns
As difficult to fathom America is now catching up with the rest of the world with last week's horrific killings at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Americans barely blinks when mosques are blown up in distant lands or Christians are burned alive as they huddle together seeking safety in war torn nations. Now in this country the carnage has moved from schools building to Bible study classes in the basement of historic Black southern churches.
The Honorable Rev. Clementa Pinckney will be buried tomorrow and eulogized by President Barack Obama. The other eight victims will be buried in the days to come. The services will be huge and no doubt televised. The tears will flow and the ultimate question, "Why?" will be asked.
And in the wake of last week's massacre remains a demented 21 year old "soldier of death," who still waves his Confederate flag in his twisted mind. White, young, hateful with a gun. A deadly combination.
Today we will explore the challenges and opportunities that America faces as it wrestles with the contingency of dissonances that just cannot embrace a globally connected multicultural nation.
And we will celebrate the Supreme Court's ruling today that upholds the Affordable Care Act…otherwise known as Obamacare.
This week has been hell week for alot of reasons! To kick the week off we had Rachel D whose deception has us all scratching our heads. What she identifies with-which she says is black and what her white parents and birth certificates says is different. I watched her interview with MHP and I thought Melissa took it easy on her and I am clearly convinced that she is delusional. She is NOT nor will she ever be a black woman. My blackness and experiences are a state of mind it is a state of being and very real. She could have done effective work for the NAACP as a white woman. I will not embrace her transracial. Next the shooter (who I refuse to call by name) in the Charleston church shooting. The coward sat in the bible study for an hour before he shot in killed 9 people. He is a high school drop out, unemployed, racist! I am not giving him any excuses. He embraced the Confederate flag which needs to come down. To his roommates and family who knew how demented he was and done nothing. You have blood on your hands. For those who say it wasn't a hate crime what is it when a person says I want to kill black people, and they are taking over our country. We have to speak open and honestly about race. We can't because we have those who can't get over the fact that we have a black President and who want to criticize our civil rights leaders! To all of those who want to take back our country know this there were people here when Christopher Columbus discovered America and it was not you!

Agenda 21
In the public domain, it seems as if they're conducting this kind of massive operation under the guise of protection and effective sustainability.
[Public] - Wikipedia
Agenda 21 is a non-binding, voluntarily implemented action plan of the United Nations with regard to sustainable development. It is a product of the Earth Summit (UN Conference on Environment and Development) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992.
In so many words, the United Nations seeks to co-opt, via individual governments, and eventually, a "one-world government," privately held land under the auspices of ensuring its "sustainability." Worse still, the UN's Agenda 21 has even laid out plans for "depopulation" or rather, "population control." If it sounds like something out of George Orwell's 1984, that is because Agenda 21′s tenets are eerily in line with the demented alternate reality Orwell himself had imagined while scribing the pages of his famed novel.

At least two blasts have rocked the Nigerian city of Jos, with one death and a number of injuries reported at a bar where fans were watching Barcelona play Real Madrid.
One of the explosions was said to have occurred near the outdoor bar where residents were watching the Spanish football match."Two bombs have just exploded in Jos," Pam Ayuba, spokesman for the governor of Plateau state, told the AFP news agency.
"We are yet to establish the numbers of casualties, but reports I got said some people were injured."
Ayuba said the blast occurred in an area where Christian and Muslim groups often clash.
A Red Cross official told Al Jazeera that his team took at least ten people to hospital, adding that there could be more.
Resident Stanley Ejeh said: "The blast occurred ... close to a soccer viewing centre.
"The viewing centre was packed with people. There was at least one death while several other injured victims were taken to hospital."
Jos, the capital of Plateau state, has been hit by waves of sectarian violence in recent years which have killed thousands of people.
Plateau lies in the middle-belt region between the mainly Muslim north and predominately Christian south.
The north has been hit by scores of attacks blamed on the armed Islamist group Boko Haram, which also claimed responsibility for the August suicide bombing of the UN headquarters in the capital Abuja which killed 24 people.

The Sex Pistols are an English punk rock band that formed in London in 1975. They are responsible for initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom and inspiring many later punk and alternative rock musicians. Although their initial career lasted just two-and-a-half years and produced only four singles and one studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, they are regarded as one of the most influential acts in the history of popular music.
The Sex Pistols originally comprised vocalist Johnny Rotten, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bassist Glen Matlock. Matlock was replaced by Sid Vicious in early 1977. Under the management of impresario Malcolm McLaren, the band created controversies which captivated Britain. Their concerts repeatedly faced difficulties with organizers and authorities, and public appearances often ended in mayhem. Their 1977 single "God Save the Queen", attacking Britons' social conformity and deference to the crown, precipitated the "last and greatest outbreak of pop-based moral pandemonium".
In January 1978, at the end of a turbulent tour of the United States, Rotten left the band and announced its break-up. Over the next several months, the three other band members recorded songs for McLaren's film version of the Sex Pistols' story, The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle. Vicious died of a heroin overdose in February 1979. In 1996, Rotten, Jones, Cook and Matlock reunited for the Filthy Lucre Tour; since 2002, they have staged further reunion shows and tours. On 24 February 2006, the Sex Pistols—the four original members plus Vicious—were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but they refused to attend the ceremony, calling the museum "a piss stain".
Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (or simply Never Mind the Bollocks) is the only studio album by the English punk rock band The Sex Pistols, a highly influential and controversial English punk rock band. Fans and critics alike generally regard the album as an extremely important album in the history of rock music, citing the lasting influence it has had on subsequent punk rock musicians and other musical genres that were influenced by such punk rock artists. In 2003, Rolling Stone named it the forty-first greatest album of all time on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
The album was released on 27 October 1977 through Virgin Records.[2] amid controversy arising from the use of the coarse slang word (in British English) "bollocks" in its title.
Older versions of most of the album's songs also appeared on a bootleg album called Spunk, which consists of demo recordings the band had made during 1976 and January 1977, and which was released shortly before Never Mind the Bollocks.
