Simple Groups, Representation Theory of Finite Groups
and Applications of Finite Groups to
Codes, Combinatorial
Designs and Geometries. My contributions began with my
MSc and PhD work. Most of my refereed papers are published in the Journal of
Algebra, Journal of London Mathematical Society, Communications in Algebra,
Journal of Group Theory,
Journal of Combinatorics
Mathematics. All these papers are reviewed (or are in the waiting list to be reviewed) by the Mathematical Reviews. Presently I have
two PhD students working with me on Codes and Designs
from Finite Groups and Representation
Theory. I have acted as an external examiner for various
PhD and MSc dissertations, and as a referee for various international journals. I
have been acting as a reviewer for the Mathematical Reviews since 1990.
My Erdos Number is 3: Moori - J D Key - N J Calkin - Erdos.
My Mathematics Genealogy: Moori - D Livingstone - A Aitken - E Whittaker - A R Forsyth - A Cayley.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE: I have taught various courses at under-graduate, honours and post-graduate levels in Iran, UK, USA and South Africa. For under-graduate and service courses, class sizes varied from less than ten to large classes of up to 350 students.
RESEARCH PROJECTS: The following are my current research
projects, which are supported by the NRF (National Research foundation of
South Africa) and University of KwaZulu-Natal Research Funds.
1. Computerised Documentation of the Finite Groups and Combinatorial
Structures: The use of computing machines is
influencing the current trends in a wide variety of fields of modern algebra. The
utilization of ideas from modern algebra in other branches of pure mathematics together
with their application to areas of modern applied mathematics (e.g. coding theory, graph
theory ) has generated a demand for efficient computation in Finite Groups, Rings, Modules
and Algebraic Number Fields. GAP and MAGMA are systems that support convenient and
efficient computation with groups and other structures. They have already made significant
contributions to the solution of problems in many areas of mathematics.
4. Codes and Designs Related to Finite Simple Groups: Research is carried out in collaborations with Professor J D Key
(Clemson, USA) and Dr B Rodrigues (UKZN-Durban).
1. Some binary codes from symplectic geometry of odd characteristic, Utilitas Mathematica, 67 (2005), 121-128. (With J D Key and B Rodrigues). MR2137926 (2006e:94072)

Jun 13, 2013 - The Associated PressYellowstone's proposed winter use plan would continue the practice of using artillery shells to keep the pass open over the winter to allow no more than an average of 29 snowmobiles and snow coaches a day traveling from Cody.
JACKSON -- An unknown number of dud artillery rounds litters the slopes above a remote pass inside Yellowstone National Park, but there are no plans to find and safely detonate them or stop the avalanche control program that uses artillery shells to keep the pass open during the winter.
Yellowstone officials don't know how many of the duds, capable of propelling deadly shrapnel hundreds of yards, lie on the slopes of 10,000-foot Hoyt and Avalanche peaks on the east side of the world's first national park although one National Park Service environmental study puts the number around 300.
At least one artillery shell was found on the highway that goes through Sylvan Pass, an examination of park records obtained by the Jackson Hole News & Guide through the Freedom of Information Act shows.
Despite the danger, Yellowstone's proposed winter use plan would continue the practice of using artillery shells to keep the pass open over the winter to allow no more than an average of 29 snowmobiles and snow coaches a day traveling from Cody.
Officials at the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, an organization that's long grappled with Yellowstone over wintertime use, acknowledge they have not made Sylvan Pass artillery operations a central part of their campaign. Nonetheless, the group has opposed the practice.
"Nothing says 'Yellowstone' like a howitzer and unexploded ordnance," coalition spokesman Jeff Welsch said. "In all seriousness, most Americans surely would be stunned if they knew about this dangerous and costly winter rite in the world's first national park, and that they are paying for it."
But Jack Welch, a leader of the snowmobile advocacy groups called the Yellowstone Task Force and the Blue Ribbon Coalition, said the artillery is necessary to maintain safe access during the winter for people entering the park from the east entrance.
"It's been going on for a long time a long time, as long as I can remember, probably 40 years or so at least, and there have been no issues as far the shells that have not gone off," Welch said. "The few that have been found have been dealt with and haven't presented a problem."
The military-grade explosives, a mix of 105-millimeter howitzer and 75-millimeter recoilless rifle rounds, are mostly unknown to the 400,000 or 500,000 visitors that pass by the area each year.
Areas where duds are likely are closed to the public and marked by signs.
But there has been at least one report over the years of a park visitor finding a dud shell and taking it to a park visitor center. The shell did not detonate.

Subject: Public service info - from jms Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2004 07:52:10 +0000 (UTC) From: email@example.com (Jms at B5) Newsgroups: rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated On the theory that patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels...a bit of news for folks who might have missed this little wonderfulness in the latest mailings from their bank. Using the rationale that this is a good way to prevent paperwork from getting into the hands of terrorists to use in filtering money (among other similar justifications) starting October 28th banks and other financial institutions are no longer under any requirement to send back your canceled checks. ('Cause they could get intercepted in the mail and used for devious purposes.) Under the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, instead of getting your check back, you will get either a line on your statement about it, or if you request it, a slip of paper that has the basic information (but not anything you wrote on the memo line, and no copies of your signature front or back to determine if it's legit). The way it works normally is that you write a check, it goes to a bank, they send it on to a central check processing center, and from the center it goes back to your bank, which sends it on to you. Now the cycle stops at the check processing center. They do point out that they hold the checks for a year...but if you should, say, be audited, the IRS can request checks going back much further than that. And you won't be able to get them. (I haven't checked on this, but I believe that the only way you can now get your checks from the processing center is...wait for it...to pay a fee.) This has been very little publicized, so I thought it would be a good idea to let people know that this was going on. I didn't know about it myself until my accountant mentioned it, and I was able to confirm it with my bank. This modern age...gotta love it.

Swingin' with Mark

But lately, I've had a lot of stuff going down in my life and my friends' lives, not to mention (skip this part if you're sick of us whining about the cold) this seemingly endless winter where bundling up and shoveling seems to be a Sisyphean task. When too much crap happens, I find the music of Jeff Beck to be equally soothing and inspring. No lyrics to get in the way to trigger tears or laughs or dregs of irony. Just really good guitar music, played passionately well, and a memory of a perfect evening in Champaign with best friends watching the There and Back tour. So when I decided to drag my butt out the other night (because I knew I really needed some live music instead of another episode of Star Trek TOS) all I could think of while watching the two bands I selected was a potential Buzzfeed quiz entitled "Which Jeff Beck Album Are You?"

A new character shakes up the world of Orphan Black [TV recap S2E8]
Caroline Siede reviews the latest episode of the BBC's clone drama
The best sci-fi uses metaphor to critique real world problems. What makes Orphan Black so unique is that its "metaphors" (our clone protagonists) inhabit our very real, very prejudiced world. This is not a Star Trek utopia in which divisions of race and gender no longer matter. Here men seek to control women and politicians debate whether members of the LGBT community deserve basic human rights. Orphan Black centers on those hurt by real world inequality and so far that's translated into some of the most compelling, complex female characters and gay characters on TV. While the show could still do a better job presenting more people of color in its ensemble, "Variable and Full of Perturbation" takes its LGBT representation one step farther.
All of which is a long way of saying, "Holy Tilda Swinton," we have a new clone! Tony Sawicki is a trans man, and thanks to a lovely bit coincidental timing, his introduction plays like a direct criticism of the trans-phobic article recently reprinted by the Chicago Sun-Times. As Felix explains as he corrects Art's use of female pronouns, "He's trans…Just another variation in my sister's skin."
This is a busy episode, but writer Karen Walton and director John Fawcett smartly let Felix and Tony's complicated relationship ground it all. Scenes from their night together pepper the episode like a one act play running in the background. Elsewhere Walton and Fawcett rely on stylized visuals as both narrative shorthand and fascinating character development. This episode is a well-oiled, well-edited machine with its parts finely calibrated; Orphan Black is firing on all cylinders and it's a thing of beauty. There's plenty more to say about Tony, but first let's check in on everyone else.
Reunions abound as the fractured cast starts to come together. After putting up with their fair share of manipulation, Alison and Cosima finally state exactly what they want from their partners: Now that she's home from rehab, Alison wants Donnie to stay and fight for their marriage. Cosima demands total honesty from Delphine, and she needs to know her girlfriend loves all of the clones, not just her. (Or, in the immortal words of the Spice Girls: "If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends.") It's a wonderful showcase for both clones and their respective partners, who finally admit their wrongdoings and reaffirm their loyalty. Rather than let these reconciliations slip into the maudlin, Orphan Black gives Cosima and Alison the bulk of this week's comedy. That's business as usual for Alison, but it's nice to see Cosima get two big comedic showcases. First she effortlessly crushes stereotypes of the "fake geek girl," just as easily as she crushes Scott and his friends in their Dungeons & Dragons-style board game. And then she gets a hardcore case of the giggles as she and Delphine get stoned.
I've been fairly hard on Cosima this season, but that's only because I think the show hasn't used the character to her full potential. Tonight's episode explores the facets of Cosima beyond "scientist" and "flirt." Cosima's often painted as rational to a fault, but she's equally defined by her big heart. Delphine made the mistake of trying to hide harsher realities from her empathetic girlfriend, but tonight she finally learns her lesson. When she suspects Dyad murdered Leekie, she comes straight to Cosima with the information and says, simply, "Tell me what you want." For once Delphine backs up her promises of honesty with action. They end up saying, "I love you" for the first time, but Cosima warns Delphine that this is her final shot.
Meanwhile Donnie and Alison reconcile over something slightly more twisted: manslaughter. Now that she's learned her connection with Donnie was once based on love, Alison will do anything to salvage her marriage, even if that means confessing her crime and helping Donnie properly wrap the corpse that's starting to stink up their garage. Thankfully, this couple is way more fun when they are hiding bodies together than when they are hiding secrets from each other.
It's Ethan Duncan who carries the non-romantic reunions this week as he reaches out to members of the clone family he created. Sarah still distrusts the scientist who abandoned his creations, but Kira takes a liking to her sort-of grandfather. Before he heads off to meet with Dyad, he leaves his would-be granddaughter the clone genome sequence scribbled in a copy of Dr. Moreau.
After their tearful reunion last week, Duncan and Rachel reunite on her turf. Duncan has dropped the senile act and there's something cruel about the way he calmly tells his adopted daughter that she's "barren by design." Kira isn't a miracle; she's a flaw in his experiment. Through its sci-fi lens, Orphan Black examines the real-world issue of men who seek to control the reproductive rights of women
Fawcett visually dramatizes Rachel's internal struggle: In her mind, she smashes a chair against Leekie's carefully studied experiments and lets her agony pour out in screams and tears. In reality, she calmly agrees with Duncan's choice to make the clones infertile. As always, Rachel compartmentalizes her emotions in order to be an impeccable professional. There's a strong undertone of jealousy as Rachel asks why Sarah, "the unmonitored tramp" was the only one successful in her fertility. It's possible that Rachel tried and failed to get pregnant in the past. More importantly, making the clones infertile stripped Rachel of her right to choose whether or not to get pregnant. And if there's one thing Rachel detests, it's losing control.
Duncan's other big reunion is with Cosima, a clone he has not seen since she was in an embryonic state. Cosima is adorably nervous to meet her maker ("It's not everyday you get to meet your…Ethan."). Sadly, their meeting is cut short as Cosima collapses in a seizure. I've never thought the show would actually kill off Cosima—and I still don't—but this was the first time her illness has felt like a real-and-present danger. Let's get her better soon, okay showrunners?
Which leads us back to Tony. As it has done with Felix and Cosima, Orphan Black eschews overused stereotypes about trans people (drugs, prostitution, shame), but also refuses to sanitize Tony into an angelic representative of his community. Like all of the characters on Orphan Black, Tony is deeply flawed and deeply human. He's a criminal who pushes buttons and tests boundaries; rather than scramble to play defense, Tony is all offense all the time. While the show isn't arguing that his gender is the most interesting thing about him, it also realizes that Tony's experience as a trans man is a huge part of who he is. In fact, Tony takes the clone reveal in stride precisely because he's already spent so much of his life thinking about his identity. Tony knows there's only one of him, and the fact that he's a clone doesn't change that.
Tony's introduction to the Clone Club doubles as a wonderful showcase for Felix. Rather than get Sarah involved with any more drama, Felix sets out to manage this new clone on his own. As I mentioned, Tony and Felix's night together is the heart of this episode and the show smartly drops the plot concerns and gives these scenes room to breath. Jordan Garavis and Tatiana Maslany have always had amazing chemistry, and tonight it translates into a tête-à-tête that's part interrogation, part competition, and part flirtation.
What to make of that kiss? On the one hand, it's another affirmation of Tony's individuality—he's just a stranger who kisses Felix. On the other, there's an easy Freudian take on the situation too, not least of all because Felix has been painting pictures of Sarah next to cartoon penises. My read however, is that their kiss illuminates a kinship between two very different people who nevertheless inhabit the same community.
Felix and Tony's scenes pass what I'll call the "LGBT Bechdel Test": Two LGBT characters talk about something other than a straight person. If Art had been doing the questioning, the scene would have been about a straight person seeking to understand the trans experience (or worse, learning a lesson from it). Instead Tony and Felix skip the introduction to the "types" they represent (trans man and gay man) and attempt to figure each other out as individuals. They both use "shock and awe" tactics as a defense mechanism, only here there's no one to shock. They are insiders in the same world and their kiss dramatizes that palpable connection that is both intellectual and sexual. While their conflict doesn't wrap up as neatly as Alison and Cosima's do, they reach a begrudging understanding by episode's end. Tony and Felix are fighting similar battles for acceptance as individuals and while their methods are different, they can both respect a fellow warrior.
Really my only complaint about Tony is that he shows up with a message about Paul. His ex-military, now-dead friend Sammy wanted to tell Beth: "Keep the faith. Paul's like me, he's on it. He's a ghost." I would be perfectly happy if Paul took a permanent trip to Taiwan, but Tony's message implies he'll have a larger role to play in the future. Tony leaves the picture for now—with a green phone in hand—but I'm sure he'll return again soon. I, for one, can't wait to have him back.
Clone Club Conversations
- Here's Tatiana Maslany's fantastic explanation about why the show isn't arguing Cosima's sexuality is a "choice." I'm assuming the same applies to Tony's gender identity as well.
- There's a very valid argument that trans characters should be played by trans actors. There's great power in having Maslany play Tony as just another clone—and obviously she has to play him for the show to work—but I'm curious if there will be any backlash over this episode.
- This week in Orphan Black mythos: H.G. Wells' 1896 science fiction novel, The Island of Doctor Moreau, tells the story of a scientist who performs painful vivisections on animals in order to transform them into people. He tries to control his experiments through a complicated set of rules, but they eventually revert back to their natural animal states. Spooky.
- Like Tony, Scott takes the clone revelation in stride: "It's an honor, Cosima. An honor to be working with you." Cue my tears.
- I adore the little moments where Kira reveals the kind of life she's led. When she hears unfamiliar voices downstairs she matter of factly asks, "Should we hide?"
- "The kids are truant."

My Website: My Online Shop
Mayhem # 2471297
About MeMy passion for modeling began when I was thirteen years old. I started out as a cosmetics model for a website called VampireFreaks.com. Cosmetics went into clothing and I started lingerie and pin up modeling, I fell in love with it! I have worked for a clothing company called So Fetch and currently work as a clothing model for Religious Genocide Apparel.Hopefully this year I will be applying to Suicide Girls, if I can find the right photographer. Alternative modeling is my passion, no doubt! I'm not big on runway and the mainstream fashion, but I can turn anything into my own style. My experience with makeup helps me achieve almost any look desired. I plan to continue my modeling hopefully far into my future.
Anyone who knows me well knows that I do change up my style very often. I love ALL styles actually! I'll dress in anything pink and kawaii to anything black and covered in rivets. I change my hair colour every month to fit my mood and sense of style at that time. I pay attention to detail and notice the little things in every photo I take and learn to improve it next time.
There are some shoots I've always wanted to do, including:
~Underwater/Mermaid Themed
~Raver/ Go-Go
~Rockstar [On a stage, being my crazy-ass self!]
~Alternative Fetish [In lingerie and something dark like a gasmask!]
~50's Pin Up
~Murder Scene
I'm open to all ideas!
If you have any questions, comments, ideas, or offers just send me a message!
On another note, I run my own business creating oddities and other macabre delights! If this is up your alley or, your may be interested in some of my products for a particular shoot, click the link and check out my shop.

since now i've only used my DSLR with tools like cine style color correction but i'm thinking about instaling Magic Lantern on my Canon 7D. Please tell me your experience with the Magic Lantern tool and for what reason you've downloaded it! Can you recommend this tool?
Furthermore i have one more question i couldn't find anything about it:
Can you increase the fp/s with Magic Lantern (at the expense of the resolution)?
Thank's alot for your answers!
Hi Leupsi!
I'm using ML on a Canon 550d since 18 months and I'm very happy with it….
I have downloaded it over all for the zebra, the audio control, and the manual white balance. Now that I've bought a Class 10 Uhs-1 Sd card, I'm even happier because I can increase the bitrate of videos.
Also the HDR and the timelapse functions are very very useful…
Yes, you can increase the fps… Check here if this is useful…
A lot of usefull functions. Must have.
Best regards Andrey
Okay, thank's alot for these answers.
I have one more question: Can you deinstall ML as easy as you can install it? (Just delete it from the card?)
-Just delete it from the card?
Best regards Andrey
AndrVlad said
-Just delete it from the card? -Yes.
Wow, that's great! Thank you!

Samsung Stratosphere 4G LTE slider receives first video tour
The ad team at Samsung have wasted no time releasing their first official video spot for what's now called the Samsung Stratosphere, this device officially detailed earlier today live from CTIA in California. What we get to see here is just about the most professional looking flipping around of the device complete with specifications galore, this making the device seem rather appeasing as a single-core device in a dual-core world. Will its added security features and the fact that it's the only keyboard-toting Super AMOLED Plus having 4G LTE device on the market set consumers to sway its way?

Some discussion has been emerging about the journalism education principles (full text here) that were issued at the WJEC — in a few blog posts and comments etc such as those by:
Mindy McAdams (Teaching Online Journalism blog, University of Florida)
Martin Hirst (Ethical Martini blog, Auckland University of Technology)
Rebecca MacKinnon (RConversation blog, University of Hong Kong) — more WJEC reflections here
Guy Berger (Conversant blog, Rhodes University) — article in the SA Mail & Guardian
It was good to meet the latter three at the WJEC.
I have mixed feelings about the declaration itself. It's more descriptive than aspirational or, indeed, inspirational — an opportunity missed?
More positively, the principles emphasise the importance of journalism practice, "a strong vocational orientation" and "experiential learning" (principle 7), and "strong links to media industries" (principle 8). And "journalism educators should be a blend of academics and practitioners" (principle 3) — although I'm not clear whether this means every individual or collectively.
However, there is no reference to freedom, democracy, human rights, freedom of speech or of the press, censorship, media ownership etc. Perhaps this is not surprising, given the diversity of the organisations involved, including associations from Africa, China, Europe, North America and Russia, and of the political and cultural context in which they operate. I gather that the phrases "civil society" and "public service" dominated the discussions to agree the declaration — and neither appears in that form.
In part, the declaration probably reflects the 'lowest common denominator' effect — and key phrases such as "the effective and responsible practice of journalism" "serve the public" and "public interest obligations" are left open and undefined, and thus open to different (even divergent) interpretations. If you're feeling cynical, try inserting "whatever that means"… (to add to the "where practical" phrases already present in places).
I would have liked it to say more about the teaching and learning of journalism. It can make a huge difference, and tends to be neglected — the focus being mostly on the content. Both need to be seen together, I believe.
Having said all this, it's quite an achievement to pull together a statement of this kind, however imperfect. Work in progress, you might say.
Another factor is the purpose of the declaration, of course — and when he presented it to the WJEC session, Guo Ke from Shanghai International Studies University emphasised its role in representing journalism education to others. He's pictured (right) with a slide making this point.
I wonder who will be using the declaration, and how. Some at WJEC suggested it might be of most use to journalism educators in developing countries and emerging democracies, particularly where they face state controls and other constraints. Guy Berger from Rhodes University suggests it could help to "reinvigorate journalism teaching and improve its effects on African media".
In my situation, I don't envisage using it much. The priority for editors and employers (of my students) will continue to be questions such as "are you turning out students who can do the job?" and "have they got a solid grasp of news, reporting, writing and interviewing?"
As for the position of journalism in the university world, I suspect academics in other disciplines would look more to what's going on in practice (outcomes) rather than descriptive statements. But there was plenty of interesting discussion about that at WJEC — a subject for another post sometime.
Finally, a modest prediction for where the WJEC declaration will crop up: look out for journal articles referencing and/or discussing the principles. As well as blogs, of course!

HUDSON — Of course, it ended with the bases loaded. That's just how Land O'Lakes has been living lately.
"We don't do anything easy," longtime Gators coach Calvin Baisley said with a big grin after Thursday's 7-3 victory over Sunlake in the 5A-8 district championship.
Land O'Lakes (18-8) ended a three-year streak of finishing as district runnerup.
It will host the loser of today's 5A-7 final between Pasco and Hernando in a region quarterfinal Wednesday.
Sunlake, which will make its first regional appearance, will play at the winner of that game.
Offensive star Alex Reynolds struck out two batters in the seventh but then walked two Seahawks to bring up the dangerous David Castillo as the tying run. Castillo grounded the first pitch to second for the final out.
Reynolds went 3-for-4 and drove in two runs. His single in the top of the fourth snapped a 2-2 tie. And he was in the middle of a three-run sixth that put the Gators ahead 7-2.
Sunlake (17-9) had its chances. The Seahawks overcame an early 2-0 hole, tying it on back-to-back doubles by Colton King and Zac Howard in the third. But on Omar Cala's single up the middle that would have put the Seahawks in front, Connor Stephens threw Howard out at home.
With the game still tied in the bottom of the fourth, Sunlake walked three times to load the bases. Reliever Brett Renner came in and got Castillo on a long flyout.
The Gators went ahead 4-2 in the fifth. Dylan Leonard led off with a single, was bunted over by Stephens and scored on Reynolds' hit. Land O'Lakes tacked on three in the sixth with Kyle Sheffield, Reynolds and Liam Heaney driving in runs.
"I've been putting together some good at-bats the last couple of weeks," Reynolds said; "just staying back on the ball."
The Gators looked nothing like a No. 4 seed. And for that matter, Sunlake is stronger than the typical No. 3 seed. It won the Sunshine Athletic Conference last week.
Cala and John Eales had two hits apiece for the Seahawks.
Hilgenberg gave the Gators their 2-0 advantage with the game's only homer.
"Second place was getting old," he said.
Sunlake is happy its season continues but was not in an accepting mood afterward. King was displeased over what he felt should have been a walk right after Castillo had singled to make it 7-3 in the sixth. What looked like a low pitch would have had the bases loaded with one out. Instead, King grounded out on the next pitch.
Said King: "We wanted to bring it home."
3A-7: Closer's complete game propels Bishop McLaughlin
Will Potosky had pitched just 15 full innings all season for Bishop McLaughlin before its district final against Tampa Prep. But coach Jeff Swymer decided to start his usual closer in the biggest game of the season to date.
It paid off for the Hurricanes, who beat Tampa Prep 2-0 for the school's fourth district championship.
Bishop McLaughlin (17-7) scored a run in the first inning on an error, and Zack Kampsen drove in a run in the second inning.
With Potosky, who gave up six hits in a complete game, on the mound, two runs would be enough to beat the Terrapins (17-10).
"We just had a hunch he would be effective against them," Swymer said. "Never in my wildest dreams did I expect him to throw a complete game."
Times staff writer Kelly Parsons contributed to this report.

ericmilam thank you so much, everyday i love easy-creds more and more, even more then my wife ;-) i highly appreciate you for the tool man,
working like a charm here,
the only thing needed is to change dhcpd.conf path from /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf to /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf, dhcp does not exist in backtrack, at least i couldn't find it!
Attachment 1147
Kind Regards
Thanks for the kind words. I think the change I pushed to github master branch will fix that issue. It's version 3.7.2 give it a try and let me know.
Best Regards,
hello Sir Eric, I removed easy-creds completely from my backtrack 5-r3 GNOME 64bit and downloaded it again from github yesterday after you suggested above to try it out, when i tried FakeAP Attacks > FakeAP Attack Static i had that error i mentioned above, so i had to edit easy-creds.sh to make some changes,
Kind Regards
Issue may be with your dhcp folders... Do both exist? /etc/dhcp & /etc/dhcp3
Also, do either of them have dhcpd.conf in them? Do both?
My suggestion... apt-get purge dhcp3-server and rm -rf the /etc/dhcp3 dir and /etc/dhcp (if it exists)
Then apt-get install the dhcp server, then retry easy-creds and let me know. I think that may be the hang up....maybe...possibly...but I have been wrong in the past :-)
Let me know please...
Also, I am going to remove the install dhcp server from the prereqs...causes way to many headaches...
Hi eric,
/etc/dhcp does not exist, /etc/dhcp3 folder it does exisit and dhcpd.conf is in the dhcp3 folder, i will take your advice above and feed back here,
thank you eric
Kind Regards
Got a new one for you. I had a problem with "dup acks" (as seen in Wireshark) when using easy-creds and the WiFi MITM attacks. Small pings got through, but web traffic did not. Seem to be an issue with the MTU. This may only be an issue with WiFi->laptop->Wifi and WiFi->VMWare->laptop->Wifi connections. I set my tunnel to use a smaller MTU:
ifconfig eth1 mtu 567
and that made things work better. Got packets for web traffic through, though there were still some "dup ack" messages. Not sure if there is a more elegant solution.
Hi to all,
just thought to keep this forums tidy as possible and not start new thread, the end of the day it's all about easy-creds,
I have beautiful BackTrack5 r3 GNOME 64bit installed on my laptop
now i know eric has fixed the path to sslstrip and dhcp issue because i downloaded the updated one from github, so many thanks for that if you reading this eric :-) and it does the job for FakeAP Attacks, Poisoning Attacks and more but when i tried out Karmetasploit Attack, Eviltwin and sidejacking attack, I had come a cross some problems, like with Eviltwin i had an error below with the airbase-ng.
21:27:59 Created tap interface at0
21:27:59 Trying to set MTU on at0 to 1500
21:27:59 Trying to set MTU on mon0 to 1800
21:27:59 Access Point with BSSID 00:C0:CA:66:42:BA started.
Error: Got channel -1, expected a value < 256. Please report.
now i know we don't mention channel number to airbase-ng it will give us that error, and easy-creds doesn't ask which channel i want to be on during the attack,
for sidejacking issue everything works perfect i can see logins and passwords on ettercap and sslstrip but hamster and ferret doesn't fire up,
Karmetasploit Attack does not start for some reason,
i tried to fix the problem for last few days but hey am jack sh** at coding :-) i even uncommented f_findpaths and comment out static paths hoping to fix the problem but without success. any help will be appreciated,
thanks in advance and good day
Well I have tried to use this script with no luck getting internet traffic to pass through and I am kinda stuck I have read all topics relevant to this but everything I have tried does not work. Now here is what I have:
all prereq installed and running fine so what I mean is that sslstrip opens fine v0.9, urlsnarf fine, ,dhcp3, ettercap fine I can see the host obtain an ip I can also ping back and forward just fine. But the internet icon displays no internet access and cannot open any webpage. I don't know if there is any fix for this in version 3.7.1 because I cannot find a way to update. I tried installing bt5up and that is not working as well so I need to find a tar file of 3.7.1 if it exists.
Can someone shed some light thank you very much.
well 3.7.1 it does exists however i would wait a bit for 3.7.2 if i were you :-) i think soon it will come out mate

Zinc sulfide semiconductor nanoparticles were synthesized in an aqueous solution of polyvinyl pyrrolidone via a simple microwave irradiation method. The effect of the polymer concentration and the type of sulfur source on the particle size and dispersion of the final ZnS nanoparticle product was carefully examined. Microwave heating generally occurs by two main mechanisms: dipolar polarization of water and ionic conduction of precursors. The introduction of the polymer affects the heating rate by restriction of the rotational motion of dipole molecules and immobilization of ions. Consequently, our results show that the presence of the polymer strongly affects the nucleation and growth rates of the ZnS nanoparticles and therefore determines the average particle size and the dispersion. Moreover, we found that PVP adsorbed on the surface of the ZnS nanoparticles by interaction of the C–N and C=O with the nanoparticle's surface, thereby affording protection from agglomeration by steric hindrance. Generally, with increasing PVP concentration, mono-dispersed colloidal solutions were obtained and at the optimal PVP concentration (5%), sufficiently small size and narrow size distributions were obtained from both sodium sulfide and thioacetamide sulfur sources. Finally, the sulfur source directly influences the reaction mechanism and the final particle morphology, as well as the average size.
Semiconductor nanostructured quantum dots have attracted much interest from virtually all scientific disciplines, including chemistry, physics, materials science, and even biology and biomedical science. This interest stems from the fact that in the nanoscale size range they show excellent and unique properties, most importantly their size tunable optical and electrical properties. The size dependence of the bandgap is one of the most important aspects of quantum confinement in semiconductors; the bandgap increases with decreasing particle size. Consequently, this size-tunability in quantum dots offers a major advantage over their bulk counterparts, which can be exploited when formulating new composite materials for a range of applications [
Zinc sulfide nanoparticles (ZnS-NPs) are important group II–IV semiconductors with a direct wide band gap energy of 3.68 eV (345 nm) [
In recent years much effort has been put into the development of new strategies for synthesizing nanocrystals with high dispersion and size uniformity [
Building on previous knowledge and research, we developed a simple microwave irradiation method for the synthesis of ZnS-NPs through the reaction of zinc acetate (Zn(CH3COO)2) and thioacetamide (C2H5NS) or sodium sulfide (Na2S) in an aqueous solution of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP). The mechanism by which PVP reacts with precursor ions is discussed in detail and the influence of the PVP concentration and the various sulfur sources on the formation of ZnS-NPs is investigated. The obtained nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy.
Possible interactions between the PVP capping agent and ion precursors in the synthesis of ZnS-NPs using thioacetamide or sodium sulfide as sulfur sources are schematically shown in
During microwave irradiation, the PVP may be broken to a limited extent, thereby producing shorter polymer chains that reduce the capping function on the surface of the metallic ions. Since the electric component of the microwave irradiation causes heating by two main mechanisms: (i) dipolar polarization of water and (ii) ionic conduction of precursors, introduction of the polymer causes restriction of the rotational motion of dipole molecules and immobilization of ions. These factors affect the heating rate and consequently the rate of nucleation and subsequent growth of the ZnS-NPs. In a one-pot microwave-based synthesis, the relative extent of the precursor consumption between the nucleation and growth stages will dictate the final nanoparticle size, for a given amount of precursor introduced into the reaction medium. The reason for this is that particles can only grow until all of the molecular precursor is consumed (
Fast nucleation results in a high particle concentration and ultimately yields small particles, while a slow nucleation results in a low concentration of embryonic seeds that consume the same amount of precursor and therefore results in a population of proportionally larger particles (
Broad diffraction peaks are typically attributed to a smaller particle size. The crystalline size of the ZnS-NPs was calculated using the (111) reflection of the XRD patterns, based on the Scherrer Equation [
To further investigate the role of PVP in the synthesis of ZnS-NPs, experiments in which the PVP concentration was adjusted from 0% to 10% (weight ratio of PVP to water) during the synthesis were performed. The results show that both the presence of PVP and the PVP concentration significantly affect the size distributions and dispersion of the resulting nanoparticles.
After introducing PVP into the reaction mixture, Zn2+ ions form a complex with PVP, which results in particle capping upon nucleation. Since the complex compound Zn(PVP)2+ formed stabilizes the Zn2+ ions, the reaction is restrained and the subsequent slower nucleation process results in the production of larger particles. Furthermore, with the increase in the PVP concentration from 1 to 5%, more Zn2+ ions are complexed to PVP and the growth of the particles is increasingly controlled by the formation of passivation layers on the particles' surface. It is worth noting that further increasing the PVP concentration beyond 5% does not result in the production of smaller particles, because the reaction system becomes so viscous, and it is challenging to collect the desired ZnS-NPs.
Similar experiments using an alternate sulfur source,
Overall, the effect of the PVP concentration on the particle size and size distribution was more pronounced in our experiments when using sodium sulfide compared to thioacetamide. Consequently, our expectations that the sulfur source might considerably affect the reaction process and the final nanoparticles product were effectively met. When using sodium sulfide as a sulfur source, both metal ions Zn2+ and Na+ are coordinated with PVP upon introduction and the complex compounds of Zn (PVP)2+ and Na (PVP)+ are formed in which the Zn2+ and Na+ ions are stabilized. The stabilization of Zn2+ restrains the reaction, but the stabilization of Na+ actually promotes the reaction. In view of the fact that the number of Na+ ions is higher than the Zn2+ ions, the latter stabilizing effect may be stronger than the former one. Whereas monodispersed particles are preferentially formed when the speed of nucleation is much higher than the speed of particle growth [
In order to further study and attempt to unravel the underlying adsorption mechanism of PVP onto the nanoparticle surface, FTIR analysis of PVP-capped ZnS-NPs was carried out and the obtained data was compared with the FTIR spectrum PVP alone.
When comparing the FTIR spectra of pure PVP and PVP-capped ZnS-NPs in
Similarly, the nanoparticle product using sodium sulfide as a sulfur source was evaluated and the results of the FTIR measurements are presented in
The C-N peaks at 1277 cm−1 and 1072 cm−1 (
To determine the size and nature of the bandgap, UV-vis spectra were recorded, as presented in
The energy of the band gap (
where α is the absorption coefficient,
From the band gap values, the particle sizes were calculated using the Brus equation [
where Δ
In a strong confinement, as in the present case, the second term is small and may be neglected [
Finally, to ascertain the stability and the shelf-life of the PVP-capped ZnS-NPs, UV-vis spectra of the various samples were re-recorded after one month storage under normal conditions (ambient temperature in the dark). Stability measurements show that PVP-capped ZnS-NPs remain stabile after prolonged storage, with no significant changes in the absorption spectra. In contrast, particles produced in aqueous solution only reach moderate stability and deteriorate over time to form significantly instable colloidal solutions, which was confirmed through TEM evaluation of stored solutions. In general, the results of our stability measurements show that a good measure of colloidal stability is present and retained.
The starting materials for the synthesis of ZnS nanoparticles were zinc acetate, poly-
In a typical procedure, the appropriate amount of PVP (1 g) was dissolved in 10 mL distilled water. Subsequently, 5 mM zinc acetate was added to the PVP solution under stirring (500 rpm) and the resulting solution was homogenized for 30 min. Next, 10 mL of aqueous sulfur source solution was added and stirred until a well-dissolved solution was obtained. The concentration of the sulfur sources was slightly higher than the zinc source in order to ensure that the reaction would proceed to completion. The final solutions of different sulfur sources were put in a high power microwave oven (1100 W) using a pulse regime of 20% power for 20 min. The precipitates were centrifuged (3500 rpm, 5 min) and washed several times with distilled water and ethanol. The white products were dried in air at 60 °C for 24 h in a controlled environment. To monitor the effect of the PVP concentration, adjustment of the PVP to water weight ratio from 0 to 10% were prepared during synthesis.
The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) at a scanning rate of 5°/min in the 2
Well-dispersed ZnS-NPs with narrow size distributions were prepared in a polyvinyl pyrrolidone polymeric solution via a simple, rapid and energy efficient microwave synthesis method. Since the majority of atoms in a nanoparticle are located on its surface, the modification of the nanoparticle's surface has been recognized as the prime method to tailor nanomaterials for particular applications, with a high measure of control over the final product. Differences in the ZnS-NP size and dispersion were found to be polymer concentration dependant, as clearly visible upon TEM microscopic evaluation. Therefore, capping with a polymer, such as PVP, occurs via conjugation between PVP and the ZnS-NPs and not only offers enhanced colloidal stability, but also some measure of control over the size and the size distribution. The conjugation seems to occur via C–N and C=O groups, as confirmed via FTIR analysis. After introducing the polymer, both resonance C–N and C=O peaks in the FTIR spectra changed noticeably, which is indicatory for the coordination of ZnS-NPs with the N and O atoms of PVP. The optimal PVP concentration was determined to be ~5%, which resulted in a final product with an improved dispersion and relatively small size and size distribution. The average particle sizes and estimated optical band gaps of PVP-capped ZnS-NPs synthesized under optimal conditions are 5.1 nm and 4.07 eV for thioacetamide and 15.8 nm and 3.72 eV for sodium sulfide as sulfur sources. These results also indicate the significance of the sulfur source and thus the reaction mechanism on the final product.
The potential of capping ZnS-NPs is amongst others illustrated by the fact that PVP-capped ZnS-NPs exhibit enhanced photoactivity and photocatalytic performance compared to bare ZnS nanoparticles. Interaction of PVP with the metal ions located at the nanoparticle's surface can give rise to overlap of the molecular orbitals of PVP with the atomic orbitals of the metal ions. These interactions can cause both (i) alteration of the tautomeric form of surface adsorbed organic molecules due to change in the effective charge on N and C=O and (ii) transfer of the excited state energy from the molecular orbital of PVP to ZnS nanocrystals [
In conclusion, the present work presents an easy, inexpensive and effective way to produce well-dispersed, small, and stabile nanoparticles with a polymer coating that allows easy further functionalization and affords potentially controllable physical, especially optical properties.

All the witnesses were allowed to watch the closing arguments, and it was standing room only in the courthouse.
It was standing room only inside the ballroom, with people lining up out in the hall to enter as others drifted out.
There would hardly be standing room—and thence to the scene of their culinary labours.
There were no seats, but plenty of standing room about the tables.
For every ray of the sunbeam, for every atom of food, for every inch of standing room, there is deadly rivalry.
It was snowing some nights and if you didn't hurry you could not get standing room.
Starting up with a spring, he bounded to the deck, where he found Cyd fast asleep upon the cushions of the standing room.
There were chairs, but usually there was only standing room.
But the crowd kept its seats or its standing room with examplary patience.
If I lost her I would have no standing room on the earth for my feet.

Your world needs you. Will you take the challenge? Say yes, and volunteer! Join the global volunteer movement on December 5th, International Volunteer Day (IVD). Why? Because worldwide peace and prosperity can't be achieved by governments alone. They can, however, take root and grow when people like you and me get involved in advancing the common good.
For IVD2015, the United Nations is emphasizing how important volunteers are in achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – which are part of a global agenda to overcome poverty, inequality and address climate change. These goals are wide-reaching and ambitious, but every volunteer can help achieve them. How? Well, it's the action itself, and it's the practice of getting involved, too.
For example, tutoring a child can help keep him in school and on track to a good life. We all benefit from that volunteer action. And serving as a volunteer tutor means that you are more likely to get involved in other things – that improve education and your community overall and even in issues on a global scale. Volunteering not only addresses issues today, it also builds momentum and solidarity for change for the long-term. And that's how, eventually, we create a better life for all.
You can picture yourself as part of this global change movement – literally. United Nations Volunteers is running a "selfie campaign" featuring photos of engaged volunteers like you on an interactive map. Post a selfie of yourself along with one of these templates via social media and/or through Volunteer Action Counts, ideally with a caption that includes #IVD2015selfie and about how and where you are helping change the world. Volunteers will fill a global map to show how volunteering is making a difference. It is exciting to see!
But don't wait for December 5th to roll around each year to get involved. Follow @UnitedWay, check our blogs often, and get involved with a United Way near you.

Association Between Rhythmic Masticatory Muscle Activity During Sleep and Masticatory Myofascial Pain: A Polysomnographic Study
Leylha Maria Nunes Rossetti, DDS, MSc, PhD/Carlos Dos Reis Pereira de Araujo, DDS, MSc, PhD/Paulo Henrique Orlato Rossetti, DDS, MSc, PhD/Paulo C�sar Rodrigues Conti, DDS, PhD
Aims: To test for an association between rhythmic masticatory muscle activity during sleep, as assessed according to polysomnographic criteria for sleep bruxism (RMMA-SB), and myofascial pain (MFP), as well as the chance of occurrence of MFP in patients with RMMA-SB. Methods: Thirty MFP patients (diagnosed according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders) and 30 age- and gender-matched asymptomatic controls underwent a polysomnographic examination. Also, any self-reporting of daytime clenching (DC) was registered in 58 of these subjects. Results: Most MFP patients reported mild or moderate pain (46.67% and 43.33%, respectively), and only 3 (10%) reported severe pain. Pain duration ranged from 2 to 120 months (mean 34.67 � 36.96 months). Significant associations were observed between RMMA-SB and MFP as well as between DC and MFP. Conclusions: (1) RMMA-SB is significantly associated with MFP; (2) although RMMA-SB represents a risk factor for MFP, this risk is low; and (3) DC probably constitutes a stronger risk factor for MFP than RMMA-SB.

The role of accountants in the banking crisis was thrust into the open yesterday when the Financial Services Authority said that the profession had not been sceptical enough about the financial firms it audited in the run up to the banking crisis.
The City regulator, setting out a case to have the powers to publicly censure and fine auditors, also noted that some firms appeared to be "systemically aggressive" in some of their accounting policies.
It is understood the FSA has already referred some of the practices it has found to the Accountancy & Actuarial Discipline Board, which investigates accountants and has the power to take action if it finds wrongdoing, and the Financial Reporting Council, which oversees corporate accounting.
In a discussion paper published with the FRC, the City regulator, which is to be disbanded by the coalition government in the next two years, called on the auditing profession to demonstrate that it had learned the errors of its ways since the banking meltdown.
The Audit Inspection Unit responsible for monitoring the audits of all listed and other major public companies, is now focusing on banks for its inspections and is talking with the City regulator about ways to share more information about audits, the FSA said.
Paul Sharma, FSA director of prudential policy, said: "Our experience has indicated that, at times, auditors have focused too much on gathering and accepting evidence to support firms' assertions, rather than exercising sufficient professional scepticism in their approach. This falls far short of what the FSA – and society at large – expects from auditors."
The FSA said its work since the banking crisis had led it to question whether auditors had been "sufficiently sceptical" when challenging the models used by management to measure their bad debts and said it was "concerned that the dispersion in valuations – both within and between firms – for similar items is higher than might be expected".
It said there had been an "inadequate level of challenge to firms' management" from auditors about some of the crucial assumptions they make in deciding whether to take a provision for a loan that is not being repaid.
The FSA, which holds annual meetings with the auditors of big banks, uses the discussion paper to ask whether it should talk directly to the non-executive directors who sit on audit committees.
The regulator is particularly scathing about the way auditors tackled client assets – where, since Lehman's collapse, firms must show they keep client's money safe – saying it had found "material weakness" in some reports filed by auditors.
In May, the regulator handed a £33m fine, its largest, to investment bank JP Morgan for breaches of its rules in client assets, but does not have powers over auditors. There was also concern that the amount of disclosure by financial firms is "arguably too long", but that enhanced disclosure does not necessarily mean more disclosure. Boilerplate or formulaic disclosures are not welcomed, the FSA said.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) noted that last year, a Treasury select committee of MPs had concluded there was little evidence auditors had failed in their duties. Michael Izza, chief executive of the ICAEW, said: "The FSA report poses some tough questions for the audit profession, a number of which we raised with the Treasury select committee in January 2009. Let us be clear: the committee concluded last year, that there was little evidence to suggest that auditors failed in their duties in the run up to the financial crisis.
"Nonetheless, as a profession we are learning the lessons from the crisis and asking ourselves how does the current audit model need to evolve to meet changing market needs?Any response to this question must be evidence based"

Yet in this corner of the country is where the 75-year-old Huber hopes the South American grain quinoa takes root.
Last month, Huber harvested quinoa commercially for the first time on about 30 acres, making him the latest addition to a small number of U.S. farmers trying to capitalize on American eaters' growing demand for the Andean grain.
"It's a beautiful crop," Huber said as he surveyed his combine grinding the plants and spitting out the seeds. He chose a...

The New 'God Of War' Game Is Getting '300' DLC For Reasons Known Only To Zeus
If you missed out on all the phalanx'n found in Square Enix's PSP release, 300: March to Glory back in 2006, Gamestop's got you quasi-covered with a new pre-order offer for God of War: Ascension. Gamestop's GoW:A standard and collector's edition preorder packages offer include a voucher code that reskins your protagonist as King Leonidas in multiplayer mode. The appearance of the character will be based on the cinematic adaptation of Frank Miller's original 300 graphic novel, rather than his artwork and, sadly, it doesn't sound like you'll be able to unlock a chubby Gerard Butler bonus look to rock as Kratos in the single player campaign.From the PlayStation blog:
We are very excited to partner with Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment to offer you the chance to play as one of the biggest badasses in Greek history on the God of War: Ascension multiplayer battlefield. Donning King Leonidas's red cape, iconic helmet, and armor you will stand apart as one of the ultimate warriors of Sparta. King Leonidas also comes with his iconic spear, which has its own set of unique combat moves.
Fans who preorder this bundle will also get a GoW:A poster, which may or may not [Editor's note: it totally doesn't!] double as a… what's the word? Tactical? Yeah, tactical loincloth.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – There are now two persons who were shot in relation with an altercation that occurred inside a bar in a span of seven days.
The most recent shooting incident took place early Sunday morning in a bar on the north side of Columbus.
Officers from the Columbus Division of Police were called to respond to a bar located in the 4600 block of Maize Road following a report of a shooting incident.
The officers responded to the Tony's Bar at about 1:55 early Sunday morning and discovered a man who was shot once, according to the reports.
The responding medic personnel transported the victim to the Riverside Methodist Hospital. Hospital officials say that he is already in a stable condition.
There were no details that were released in connection with the shooting incident.
The name of the victim and the name of the suspect were not immediately available.
Last Monday, a teenager was also shot near a bar in the west side of Columbus, according to the reports.
Reports indicated that the shooting victim went to a bar at 1662 W. Mound Street after he learned that a fight broke out in the bar at around 1 a.m. Monday.
The victim who is identified as nineteen-year-old Kentay Wilkerson went to the Burnzie's Tavern to check on his brother when a melee broke out. It was around 1:30 early Monday morning when he arrived. He was already walking out of the bar when two male suspects confronted him outside the bar.
One of the suspects was armed with a handgun and discharged his weapon towards the victim several times. The victim suffered from multiple gunshot wound and was transported to the Mount Carmel West Hospital. He is expected to survive.

TAMURA, FUKUSHIMA PREF – Three years after the worst nuclear accident in Japanese history, residents returning to Tamura, Fukushima Prefecture, finally have somewhere to do their shopping.
Two makeshift stores opened in Tamura's Miyakoji district on Sunday as part of a local drive to persuade residents to return to their homes following the end of decontamination work.
The hamlet is the first area within the 20-km exclusion zone to be reopened since the triple reactor meltdown at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant in March 2011.
The stores, opened in prefabricated buildings, were set up with funding from the prefecture and central government subsidies. Staffed by workers from the Tamura Municipal Government, they will sell farm products, daily necessities and other items six days a week.
About 100 people visited the stores in the first hour after they opened, buying locally produced cucumbers, eggs and other items.
Independent businessman Masaya Tsuboi, 70, said he had a good time at the outlets.
"I feel great to be able to do shopping at stores in my hometown," he said.
Housewife Fumi Yoshida, 78, said the stores will "make daily living much easier."
The district had its no-go status partially lifted in April 2012, when daytime visits were permitted. This allowed residents to prepare for the full lifting of the evacuation order.

Wrapping up a full day of campaign fundraisers, President Obama paid tribute Friday to one of his earliest and most prominent supporters: Oprah Winfrey.
"Just like books and skin cream," Obama said to laughter, "when Oprah decides she likes you, then other people like you, too."
Winfrey, the former talk show host who now owns her own network, attended a fundraiser at the Atlanta area home of actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry.
"There is my good friend, Oprah," Obama said. "Who very early on, when I was still running, just decided that she would support this guy with a name that nobody could pronounce."
Both Obama and Winfrey call Chicago their hometown.
More than three years after his historic election, Obama said that Winfrey is still "somebody who Michelle and I seek out in thinking about not just the day-to-day issues of the day, but trying to keep our focus on the big picture."
"What she's done for so many people, not just in America but around the world, is extraordinary," Obama said. "So I just want to say thank you to Oprah."
The Tyler Perry event capped a day of five fundraisers that Obama headlined during trips to Chicago and Atlanta.
The last two events took place at the Atlanta studio and the palatial home of Perry, whose family-oriented films and television programs have made him a major force in the entertainment world.
"I just want to thank Tyler for this event," Obama said at the second fundraiser. "I was saying to him, when we were over at his studio, there is something about America -- with all the struggles we've been going through and all the changes that have taken place in our history -- for him to come from where he is and be who he is; for me to come from where I am and have this extraordinary privilege. "
"It says something special about this place." Obama added. "And for Tyler to continue to be so humble and thoughtful and generous is just a -- is a testimony to him and his family. And so we are just so grateful to him and just feel blessed to see his success."
