The Department of Plastics Engineering has recently restructured its M.S.E. Degree Program. Plastics Engineering M.S.E. graduate students accepted into the program beginning in the Fall of 2005 must follow either the Thesis Option Curriculum or the Non-Thesis Option Curriculum described in the following sections. Graduate students enrolled in the Thesis Option M.S.E. Program prior to the fall of 2005 may elect to follow either the new thesis or non-thesis program requirements described below, or those in effect at the time they were accepted into the degree program. Most M.S.E. Plastics Engineering students opt for the 30 credit hour thesis option M.S.E. degree program. The 33 credit hour non-thesis M.S.E. degree program is intended for part time graduate students working full time jobs as practicing engineers.
This page also contains information regarding:
This graduate program offers professional training at the master's level designed to provide the opportunity for the study of more advanced theory and practice in plastics materials, design and processing. The department also offers graduate training in the areas of rubber and elastomer technology, medical plastics, coatings, and adhesives. The graduate programs are also designed to broaden the background of experienced members of the profession to help them keep up with the latest fundamental developments in these fields.
The Department of Plastics Engineering offers a Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.) in Plastics Engineering. More than 800 graduate students have received Plastics Engineering degrees since the graduate program was established in 1968. Most M.S.E. Plastics Engineering students opt to enroll in the 30 credit hour research oriented thesis option M.S.E. program. A smaller percentage elect to enroll in the recently established 33 credit hour non-thesis M.S.E option. Students who have enrolled in the thesis option Plastics Engineering M.S.E. program must complete at least 24 course credits and 6 thesis credits as outlined in the program requirements section below. Students may transfer as many as 12 science or engineering graduate course credits from other universities provided they are approved by the Plastics Engineering Department's M.S.E. program coordinators. The thesis option M.S.E. degree will be awarded upon the satisfactory completion of 30 credit hours of study as outlined below.
Graduate students enrolled in the Thesis Option M.S.E. Program prior to the Fall of 2005 may elect to follow either the new program requirements (thesis or non-thesis program), or those in effect at the time they were accepted into the degree program.

The Department of Plastics Engineering offers a Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.) in Plastics Engineering. Most M.S.E. Plastics Engineering students enroll in the thesis option program. However, some students, especially those students working full time days elect to enroll in the non-thesis M.S.E option. This option was established in the Fall of 2004. Students enrolled in the non-thesis M.S.E. Plastics Engineering option must complete a total of 33 course credits as outlined in the course requirements section below. Students may transfer as many as 12 science or engineering graduate course credits from other universities provided they are approved by the Plastics Engineering Department's M.S.E. program coordinators. The non-thesis option M.S.E. degree will be awarded upon the satisfactory completion of 33 credit hours of study as outlined.
For course descriptions and degree requirements, go to the UMass Lowell Graduate Catalog.
Admission to the program is open to candidates with a B.S. in Plastics Engineering or a related engineering or science field. The pre-requisite math requirements include Calculus II and Differential Equations. Applicants must also take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), provide three Letters of Reference, an Official Transcript, and a Statement of Purpose as per the UMass Lowell Graduate Admissions Policy.
For course descriptions and degree requirements, go to the UMass Lowell Graduate Catalog.
The foundation Plastics courses required in previous years are no longer required. Students who have taken these foundation graduate courses in the past can receive some graduate course credit for these courses as outlined above.
The Plastics Engineering Department makes every attempt to offer as many of these courses as possible during the evening so that students having full time jobs can complete the degree program. A listing of evening graduate courses for the next few semesters is given on Plastics Engineering.
Non-matriculated students (with an appropriate B.S. Degree) may begin taking courses without application to the M.S.E. Plastics Engineering Program. However, it is recommended that students apply to the M.S.E. Program as soon as possible (i.e. prior to taking too many course credits) since there is no guarantee of acceptance into the M.S.E. Program. In addition, no more than 12 credit hours taken as a non-matriculated student can be transferred into the M.S.E. Program upon acceptance.
One of the graduate coordinators will be the "academic advisor" for students enrolled in the non-thesis M.S.E. Plastics Engineering Degree Program. The advisor will help the student remedy deficiencies in prerequisites, select electives of most value, and plan the overall study program efficiently.
For students choosing the thesis option, the "thesis advisor" will be the chairperson of the thesis advisory committee that will guide the student in the thesis research and supervise the completion of the thesis requirement. Once an advisor is selected, the student and advisor should complete the Departmental Advising Form, indicating the thesis topic. Both the student and advisor must sign this form before the student can register for thesis credits. This form is available in the Plastics Engineering Department Office (B204) and should be submitted to the graduate program coordinator.
Both the Thesis and Non-thesis Option M.S.E. Plastics Engineering Programs are open to full time and part time students. Many of the courses required for these programs are offered at night so that engineers working at local companies can take advantage of the programs. Students taking fewer than 9 credits in a semester are considered part time, while those taking 9 or more credits are considered full time students. Graduate students must maintain full time student status in order to be eligible for teaching assistant (T.A.) or research assistant positions (R.A.).
Teaching Assistant Positions: The Department of Plastics Engineering has a limited number of "Teaching Assistant Positions" (T.A.) and "Research Assistant" Positions (R.A.) available for full time Masters and Doctoral Plastics Engineering Graduate Students. Only those students who have applied and have been accepted into the respective programs will be considered for such a position.
Most of the T.A. positions awarded by the department are "half" T.A. positions which provide a 9 credit tuition waiver and 9 credit fee waiver for in-state students, along with a stipend. Out-of-state students receive the 9 credit tuition waiver, a fee reduction and a stipend. A departmental committee selects the T.A.'s during the spring semester for the following September. It is recommended that interested candidates should visit the campus and meet with a Graduate Coordinator prior to June 1. T.A. applications are available in Ball 204 or at the Plastics Engineering Department.
Research Assistant Positions: Unlike T.A. positions that are awarded by the Plastics Engineering Department, R.A. positions, either "full time" or "half time", are awarded by individual faculty who conduct funded research. Accepted students must correspond with the individual faculty to inquire about R.A. positions. Faculty research interests are listed in the Faculty section of the department web site. It is recommended that applicants interested in obtaining R.A. funding should send a letter and resume to those faculty having similar research interests.
Many of the full time graduate students enrolled in the Department of Plastics Engineering do not receive T.A. or R.A. funding, especially during their first year of study. Many students are able to arrange funding during their second year after completing much of their coursework and after having time to interact with the various faculty members; however, there is no guarantee of funding.

PageTailors necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 74 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
We need a corporate logo for the new web solutions company named "PageTailors", spezialized in ASP.NET web engineering and CSS design.
The logo should be professional, modern, crisp and easy to recognize. A blue color tone is appreciated but not necessary. The logo should also be easily readable on paper (business cards and bills).
PageTailors is a young company ran by two students of computer science.
We want to emphasize that we don't use generated code but do all the coding and design manually according to our customers' wishes.
Our customers usually are small companies like craftsmen, vets or salesmen who don't have a clue about the technology we use and who concentrate on the visual appearance of our products.
- professional(!) corporate logo for our homepage
- easy to recognize
- modern, crisp shape (web 2.0 style)
- easy to read on (white) print media (business cards, notepaper and bills)
- Formats: layered psd + vector, high res
- optional:
- - idea: some classical tailor tools (e.g. scissors, measuring tape, ruler...) combined with a homepage or the WWW
- - maybe some kind of eyecatcher font - ideas: font somehow linked to icon, letter spacing/overlaying (not necessary)
- - blue color tone with 1-2 brighter eyecatcher colors (maybe in the font) appreciated (not necessary)
- if it helps: see the winning design at http://99designs.com/contests/3239 for an example of something we generally really like. The flame is the picture element (our tailor tools + web icon), semantically linked to the font and company name (which might be more challenging here). It is also very easy to recognize and crisp shaped. Remember that this is just an example. Be creative, this should be fun too :)
- nothing too frisky
- no clip-art or comic style
- stolen or copied designs

Love this angle! I come from a nonfiction background with newspaper experience, so it's very logical to think of plotting a mystery this way. This method could also be used after a draft is written to make sure important points are not lost in the shuffle. Thanks!

Love the how-dunnit angle. And...what a beautiful cover, by the way!

Thanks, Kelly - that old newspaper way of doing things does come in handy, doesn't it?
Jenny, thank you for the compliment! I'm very proud of both covers- the Carina artists simply rock!
- March 23, 2012 at 10:38 AM
Janis, A clever way to plot a mystery novel. Enjoyed rading the classis w/w/w/w/h in a fresh new way. And yes, the Carina cover artists do rock. Best of all good luck with your new release. As a cozy mystery writer, I look forward to seeing what my sisters in the genre are doing. And you're top of the list. Cheers, Jean

That's such a great way of looking at a story. It's logical too and could be applied to any fiction genre - note to self - especially if author is in the habit of strewing bodies.
All the best with your new release.

A quotation attributed to a student of W. Somerset Maugham, asked to compose something incorporating religion, royalty, sex, and mystery:
"'My god!' cried the duchess. 'I'm pregnant. Who did it?'"

Jean, thanks for putting me on the top of the list!

Marmot Randonnee Glove - Men's
Current Retail: $44.96-$99.95
Historic Range: $37.83-$100.00
Reviewers Paid: $80.00
|Main Material
MemBrain® 2L 100% Nylon 4.4 oz / yd
|Reinforcement Material
Washable Digital Hairsheep Leather 0.5
|Lining Material
DriClime® 3-Dimentional Wicking Lining
|Insulation Material
Primaloft One®
|Glove insert Material
GORE-TEX®Glove Insert– Durably Waterproof, Windproof and Breathable
this is my glove of choice for cold but not frigid conditions. the insulation is pretty good. if you are moving around and active, it's feasible to use these to ten degrees, perhaps a little colder, provided your core is protected. some people may find these uncomfortable below 25 degrees. they are fairly close-fitting, so i generally don't wear glove liners and think they would compress the insulation.
the gloves have a good gauntlet to cover your sleeves, they cinch tight without difficulty, and they have a detachable runaway loop for your sleeve so they won't drop and blow away.
the palm material is reasonably grippy, but i have seen better. durability has been good, though i haven't subjected these to much abuse. i don't think i have heavily tested the waterproof aspect of these, but i have hiked in them, and they do breathe.
the insulated inner lining is not removable, so these are not great for extended outings where one needs things to dry off overnight. if i thought they were intended for that purpose, i would downgrade to three stars. Marmot makes a glove with a solid removable insulated lining, but they are significantly more expensive. i use them primarily for day hikes and other shorter-term outdoor things, they have been very good for that purpose.
Fabric: gore tex/pseudo leather palm
Fill: primaloft
Price Paid: $80

"Superb literary effort… With writing both gently ironical and outright funny, the author's extraordinary talent draws readers into the world of Butte and Cairo. More entertainingly, his characters are both believable and appealing, especially Khosi's Egyptian aunts, their drill-sergeant housekeeper and the everyday people he meets.
Brilliantly imagined. Artfully written. Superbly entertaining." –Kirkus, starred review
"Charming coming-of-age novel…Humor and heart distinguish Toutonghi's second outing (Red Weather, 2006), and the quirky, appealing Khosi is bound to enchant readers." –Booklist
"The imaginative narrative shaped by the imagery and characters of this novel provides refreshing nuance to the coming-of-age immigration tale." –Library Journal
"Toutonghi's wry wit combined with his lush descriptions of Egyptian cooking make for a book that reflects the complexity of its main character." –Publishers Weekly
"Evel Knievel Days is so good, I want to dress it up in a star-spangled jumpsuit, leap it over the pyramids of Giza on a Laverda American Eagle 750cc motorcycle, and watch it stick its landing before an audience of millions in downtown Butte, Montana. A funny, heart-warming, compulsively readable novel about the unbreakable bonds of family — and baklava. This is one you shouldn't miss. Terrific!"
—Garth Stein, New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Racing in the Rain
"Beautifully written, Evel Knievel Days takes readers on a wry, irresistible journey. Toutonghi has written a spell-binding novel full of heart and startling humor."
—Diana Abu-Jaber, bestselling author of Birds of Paradise
"In a novel of rare warmth and depth, humor and insight, Evel Knievel Days is a tale of daredevil leaps in a young man's search for family and love. Quirky, often hilarious, deeply touching, following our protagonist's journey of discovery from Montana to Egypt was like watching Knievel sail his motorcycle over great expanses — thrilling from ramp to ramp."
—Alan Heathcock, author of Volt
"Evel Knievel—the great American daredevil whose spirit presides over Pauls Toutonghi's masterful coming-of-age novel — broke his shoulder, his arm, his collarbone, several ribs, his pelvis, and more: 433 bones in all. Toutonghi takes as many risks, but what he breaks, and puts back together, is the human heart."
—Ben Greenman, author of What He's Poised to Do
"It's the originality of Pauls Toutonghi's voice and vision that makes this such a remarkable novel. Toutonghi is a true daredevil of a writer, and this fantastically hilarious and affecting book will have you on the edge of your seat."
—Skip Horack, author of The Eden Hunter and The Southern Cross
"This coming-of-age story spans the globe — from an Evel Knievel festival in Butte, Montana to the protests in Tahrir Square. Evel Knievel Days enchants the reader with its ghosts, recipes, and plucky, know-it-all hypochondriac of a narrator — and his travels in search of his father and himself."
—Benjamin Percy, author of The Wilding and Refresh, Refresh
"Evel Knievel Days is a masterful, breathtaking and enchanting novel that will have you rushing to the end. Pauls Toutonghi moves subtly between Montana and Cairo to draw a deep—yet playful—story of identity and family ties."
—Mansoura Ez Eldin, author of Beyond Paradise

New and Improved 5B4 Print Donation Offer
Desperate times call for desperate measures. I have reconfigured the 5B4 Print Donation page to offer tons of new images that will appear a few times per week. These prints are 16 X 20 and handmade on either C-print color paper or fiber-based, gelatin silver paper. These are all "artist proofs" meaning that they are not part of editions and will be labeled as such. These are final prints which I have made as first proofs to determine the final printing quality for the editioned versions. Many of these are the first prints made of an image. All are correct densities and color balance same as editioned versions.
There will only be one or two copies of each available and if any show very slight imperfections it will be clearly described in each post.
Each print is being offered to those who donate $100.00 or more to 5B4 Photography and Books using the donation button. If interested in donating for a print, PLEASE EMAIL ME FIRST AT jeffladd99(at)hotmail(dot)com to make sure the print is still available. Since there are only one or two of each (which will be specified in the description), these prints are being offered on a first email inquiry / first served basis and not the first to donate.
EMAIL FIRST! Donate only after I have confirmed you will be the recipient.
There is a small postage charge on each. See the print donation page for details.

I heard that while fun it was a bit on the expensive side.I also heard it was way too hard, so if we can't find somebody to play with it should be too frustrating to defeat the bosses. If more people decide to get it I might give it a go.
A friend of mine bought Simon Belmont, so I decided to start out with Soma, since I actually played the game he starred in. I didn't expect to see Simon in his 8-bit incarnation! His whip owns though.So far, I like what it is. A little different, but there is loot, so I'm motivated/addicted.
Good to know. We were wondering why Soma had so many more options available than the other characters. He seems to be the jack of all trades.
If you really need some thing new though, beat hard chapter 6. New stuff appears in the ahop.

Welcome to the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Volunteer Website
Festival Dates: July 31 to August 2, 2020
Returning volunteers may begin signing up Sunday March 8, 2020. New volunteers may sign up but will not be assigned until March 29.
Contact Information:
(203) 828-6032
Our volunteers do a variety of tasks that make our festival possible, from parking the patrons, taking tickets, checking in other volunteers and performers, aiding our camping patrons, providing safety and security, to preparing food for our volunteers and/or patrons.
For a small fee a volunteer gets access to the festival as well as camping and staff meals provided two times a day from the day they start their responsibilities. Being a volunteer is a great way to meet a community of other like-minded individuals, where friendships and memories are made and remembered for a lifetime.
The festival is three days and we expect our volunteers to be able to work all three days. Most volunteers will need to work 6 to 7 hours each day for a total commitment of 18 to 20 hours. We do have a small number of pre-festival crews that require a substantially heavier time commitment for the privilege of not working during the festival. Check the required commitment of a crew carefully before volunteering. All festival volunteers are expected to work a full shift on Sunday. Exceptions must be worked out with your crew chief prior to the start of the festival.
T-shirts are required by most crews during shifts. A payment is needed for the t-shirt. Payment for the t-shirt and the volunteer fee are due when your volunteer application is approved. Log on to this site and select the Buy T-Shirt menu option. Credit Card or PayPal is accepted.
We have an excellent kitchen where vegetarians and vegans are well cared for. Breakfast meats are offered to our volunteers for breakfast. Drinks and snacks are available all day.
We have a limited number of pre-festival volunteer positions. Returning volunteers fill many of these positions. Tasks involve site set up, site kitchen operations, early parking, security and ticketing. If you think you qualify to fill one of these positions, use the comment section of the application.
We are unfortunately not able to accept volunteers for less than the full three-day commitment.
Volunteer Fee:
Adult: $15
Teen: $10
Staff T-Shirt: $15 each

this is only one kind of graveyard recipe mine has more to it.
Nov 5, 2011
We made these for my daughter's Halloween party. Couldn't find the cookies so we used Deluxe Grahams-they worked great. These looked awesome on the plate, however, by the time you put all the frosting on to hold the cookie, it was very sweet. Most people pulled the cookie and some of the frosting off. I think next time I will just do a few with the cookie tombstones and frost the rest of the rice krispie treats and sprinkle with Halloween sprinkles.

Had fun making these for Halloween!!
Oct 28, 2011
These were such a hit a kid's Halloween party! I couldn't find oval cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, so I used Keebler Vienna Fingers and used crushed oreos for the crumbs (didn't need to cut off the bottom of each cookies, they just pressed right into the icing). I also used red decorating gel to show up on the white cookies and it was easier to "RIP at a diagonal which looked just fine.
Oct 11, 2010
These look really good. My kids would love these.
Nov 1, 2009
This came out great & was a lot of fun!
Oct 22, 2009
Made these for a picnic at the "Pumpkin Patch" where we take our grandchildren during the halloween season. They were a great hit!

Grandal's dedicated rehab work pays off for Padres
After undergoing knee surgery in August, catcher battled back in time for Opening Day
SAN DIEGO -- There may have been reasons to doubt if Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal would be ready for Opening Day, especially with the March 30 opener less than eight months removed from surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
But as it's obvious to everyone now, there was no reason to doubt whether Grandal would get himself in a position to be ready for the opener, as he attacked his rehabilitation with something more than a sense of urgency and fervent determination.
"I actually believed that Opening Day was a possibility … because Yazzy believed it," said Padres general manager Josh Byrnes. "I don't think there was a day throughout the whole rehab process where Yazzy didn't think he wouldn't be ready."
This meant that Grandal had to commit himself entirely to the rehabilitation process, a program that spanned three states -- California, Florida and Arizona -- and even included a physical therapy session on the day of his wedding (Oct. 19) and an unusual workout routine on his honeymoon in Bora Bora.
Fat chance you'll find too many rehab protocols calling for water sprints in the South Pacific Ocean.
"I asked my trainer before going on my honeymoon what I could do while there," Grandal said. "He said that since I'll be around the water, that was perfect. So each day, while my wife would be sitting on the beach outside a bungalow and reading a book, I would be running sprints in the water."
That memory makes Grandal smile. It's a smile filled with gratification and satisfaction from the fact he was able to put himself in position to play on Opening Day, where he actually stole the first base of his professional career, a critical moment in the Padres' 3-1 victory over the Dodgers.
If less than eight months seems like a fast to return from such a devastating injury -- one that occurred last July when Anthony Rendon of the Nationals slid into Grandal's knee on a force play at the plate -- you're not the only one who thinks as much.
The recovery window from an ACL surgery for an athlete is generally between nine and 12 months.
"Modern medicine, each and every year with these guys, gets better and better," said Padres manager Bud Black. "And I think we're to a point now with a lot of injuries where the rehab protocol is outstanding.
"But when you think ACL, you think it takes a little longer … right?"
Grandal did have some things going for him, Byrnes said.
"In talking with our doctors, because there wasn't meniscus damage or additional issues with the knee, it seemed possible," Byrnes said. "Fortunately, his rehab went according to schedule."
Just as Grandal predicted it would last September, when, a month removed from surgery on Aug. 6, he stood in front of his locker and insisted to anyone who would listen that he would be ready to play on Opening Day.
"I'm only surprised in the sense that I didn't think I could be so far ahead of schedule," Grandal said.
That's because Grandal pushed himself hard during his rehabilitation program, one that started the day after surgery in San Diego. From there, he worked out in Florida and then in Arizona in December to get ready for Spring Training in February.
"I think the great thing about my rehab was there were three different parts to it," Grandal said. "The first part was here [San Diego], doing full range of motion and getting some of the strength back. Then, the second step was getting all the strength back. The third part was running and agility, going full-out.
"It never felt like a drill for me."
That's because Grandal was motivated to be on the field, in whatever capacity, on March 30. If there was ever a day when he considered giving himself a break or simply didn't feel like working out, all he ever had to do was look at a pocket schedule to see that day: March 30, the Dodgers at Petco Park.
"Every day, I got up and my first thought was, 'What can I do today to get my knee better?'" Grandal said.
Truth be told, though, it wasn't just Opening Day that Grandal was preparing himself for. He was getting himself ready for this weekend, as the Padres open a three-game series starting Friday in Miami against the Marlins. Grandal expects to have between 150-180 friends and family in the ballpark.
"During all of this, I've been looking forward to Opening Day, but the series in Miami … that was the one I really wanted to be ready for," Grandal said. "I wanted to show myself to my family. They saw what I was going through [rehabilitation] when I was back there.
"I'm not going to lie; getting back on the field in Miami, that's one of the things that got me to go after this even more."
Grandal caught all nine innings in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers, but he isn't to the point yet where the team has let him catch consecutive games. With three catchers currently on the 25-man roster, there is no need to do so now.
That will happen, Grandal is convinced. For the time being, though, he's happy and content with where he's at and with what he's accomplished to get back on the field. The experience has humbled him.
"I feel I've come back from the very bottom to being ready for Opening Day. That's something I'm very proud of," Grandal said. "I'm also proud of everyone who worked with me and very thankful for them."

Personally, I have changed to using keepassx, which has some really nice features (like password auto-type) and has an Android app to go with it.
I am writing this post to draw attention to long-standing security issues in the revelation password manager.
I should start off by saying that I was not the first person to find these issues. Erik Grinaker, the original author, planned a new revelation file format to address some of these issues in 2009. However, it seems he stopped maintaining the project around that time. Later, Jakob Westhoff noted these security problems in a 2010 blog post and wrote a fork which improved the security (though probably not by enough), but it was not merged into the revelation mainline. After sitting unmaintained for over a year, Mikel Olasagasti Uranga became the new maintainer.
This security issue went more-or-less unnoticed until February this year when someone posted this issue on the revelation bug tracker. Despite being marked as a "critical" bug, it is still yet to be fixed, while plenty of less important things have been changed and new versions have been released.
As a user of revelation, I was first aware of Jakob's post last year, and while I found it quite concerning, I was busy and didn't do anything about it at the time. I also assumed that it was just a theoretical weakness and that I didn't have much to worry about. It wasn't really until now that I looked into it and saw just how serious this is. I posted on the revelation bug tracker today explaining the real-world implications for this.
To summarise, recent generations of desktop Intel processors can decrypt a 64 byte buffer (enough to test a key) with AES256 in under 384 cycles. Running 12 threads concurrently on a high-end desktop PC (6 cores, hyper-threaded, 3.9Ghz) could probably average 70 cycles per key tested, or about 55,714,285 keys/second. Checking to ensure we got the expected output would take a bit more time, so let's conservatively estimate that we can test 25,000,000 keys/second.
While it would take on the order of 1061 years to crack on average by guessing arbitrary 256 bit keys, revelation's implementation is so insecure that an alphanumeric (a-z A-Z 0-9) password with 8 characters can be cracked in a little over 7 weeks on average. This is because it just takes the password (worth not much more than ~50 bits) and sticks about 200 bits of zeros on the end (effectively cutting the time to crack the key by a factor of 2200.)
If that can be done with a single machine, imagine how fast it would be with a custom hardware solution. Yes, you may be using a more complicated password than 8 alphanumeric characters, but even still your plain text password is probably still crackable in a reasonable time-frame given enough resources.
Essentially, relatively short plain text passwords don't have anywhere near 256 bits of entropy. ASCII password characters have around 6-7 bits of entropy each, so even 10 characters will give you no more than 70 bits of entropy. The way to get around this is to make it slower to compute the key from the password text. Specifically, if testing a key requires K cycles to compute the key and D cycles to test it, changing to a more complicated key derivation function (KDF) K2 will effectively "add" log2(K2+D)-log2(K+D) bits of entropy.
While Erik's 2009 proposed file format mentions PBKDF2, a secure key derivation function, his pseudocode just uses 10,000 iterations of SHA256 without combining the salt or password into the hash function again. Jakob's fork was similar, and is probably not secure enough either. Given that revelation only needs to compute the key once (when the file is first opened), if it takes a second or two to open this would not be much of a problem.
With the CPU above where a key can be tested in 384 cycles, extending the key derivation to take ~1 second would add about 23 bits of effective entropy (though you'd probably want to base the timing on older hardware). Using a cryptographically secure salt would also prevent a collection of different revelation password databases being cracked simultaneously. Slowing the key testing by using memory-intensive algorithms would also likely be several orders of magnitude better than simple hashing iterations, since they render CPU caches ineffective and custom hardware attacks impractical (see scrypt, for example).
So, what should be done about this?
- As much as I love revelation, it is unacceptable to be using in its current form. Anyone using or distributing it should consider it as effectively compromised until it is fixed. As of today, I am going to look into other password managers to use until it is fixed (if you recommend any, please comment).
- The authors need to make it a priority to fix this. Essentially, revelation needs to use a better key derivation function (KDF). Furthermore, revelation should show the user their password strength for the database as it would when adding a password to the database. Since slowing down the key derivation can only add at most around 20 bits of entropy (about 3 characters worth), it's still important for users to choose long and varied passwords (between 15 and 20 characters) to give enough entropy for AES encryption. Furthermore, revelation could even time how long it takes to compute the key and decrypt the beginning of a file to guess, based on their password length/complexity, how many years it would take to crack if a machine with 1000x as much power were available. Anything that comes in at under 2000 years is much too weak (don't forget Moore's law.)
- Old password databases should be converted to the new format and for disclosure of this issue users should be notified that their old revelation password databases are potentially insecure and that they should attempt to update or erase any of their older databases.
- People need to spread the word in the Linux community about this.
I found that Martin Schwenke publicly posted a comment regarding this some time ago, so I don't consider this to be an irresponsible disclosure.

Automagically copy text with correct citations from Westlaw, Lexis, and other websites.*
|"We cannot impress too strongly upon counsel in all cases the importance to us of correct citations." Hughes v. Wyatt, 125 N.W. 334, 336 (Iowa 1910).
Cutting and pasting when doing legal research using your browser is simple. But having to construct the citation for what you pasted is not so simple. This is especially true with legal citations from sources like Westlaw. You have to stop and copy the case name separately, determine the pinpoint page numbers, and adjust the date and court name format.
So I decided to write a browser plugin that would automatically add a pinpoint citation to the text I copy and paste. Thus CiteGenie™ was born.
How it worksWhen CiteGenie™ is installed, it adds a new option to the browser's right-click menu to "Copy with CiteGenie." To use CiteGenie, simply highlight the text in the court opinion, right-click and select the "Copy with CiteGenie" option (or just press Ctrl-Shift-C). Then you can paste the text into any other program, such as your word processor, and the text will be pasted, along with the pinpoint citation for the selected text from the court opinion. This illustrated example shows CiteGenie™ in operation.
CiteGenie™ does not access the web site containing the document you are copying from. What many people don't realize is that when you are vewing a document in your browser, your computer already has a complete copy of that document already in its memory. CiteGenie™ does what a human would do -- it starts from the point where you are copying text, and looks at the surrounding text (already in your computer's memory) to determine the citation for that text.
CiteGenie™ will create citations in Bluebook, MLA, APA, Chicago, and Wikipedia formats.
CiteGenie™ has been tested and works in Firefox 1.5 through 44.x. For later versions of Firefox, please try the current alpha version of CiteGenie.

Similar, yes, but not necessarily interchangeable.
Bummer is much more casual.
If your neighbour's dog died, you'd say, "What a pity, he was such a nice dog." Saying bummer in that instance is too casual.
If you had tickets to a game, but it rained and the game was cancelled, then a friend saying "That's a bummer" is very appropriate.

Carl Franklin Hostetter (August 6, 1965) is a key figure of the Elvish Linguistic Fellowship. He is the author of numerous articles on Tolkienian linguistics, and the editor of two journals on the subject, Vinyar Tengwar (print) and Tengwestië (online). Hostetter has also contributed to various mailing-lists dedicated to Tolkien's languages, including Tolklang and Elfling. After a (still ongoing) dispute with David Salo and Helge Fauskanger, he set up Lambengolmor and Elfling-d. Together with Christopher Gilson, Arden R. Smith, Bill Welden, and Patrick H. Wynne (called by some the "Elfconners"), he has been engaged by Christopher Tolkien in the ordering, editing, and publishing of J.R.R. Tolkien's writings concerning his invented languages, which have been published as Parma Eldalamberon numbers 11 through 18 (and continuing) and in Vinyar Tengwar.
- "I didn't start the E.L.F., I didn't launch VT, I don't edit Parma, and I'm not the chief editor of Tolkien's linguistic papers; I just do my part. Mostly, I'm just the one tenacious/stupid enough to act as a human target for the team, and for the fullness and reality of Tolkien's linguistic inventions."

Hunting will get a lot more interesting next month when PSE releases their TAC-15 crossbow. It mounts directly on a AR-15 rifle, allowing you to swap between both weapons with minimal tinkering.
Why would you need a crossbow when you are already holding an AR-15? I cannot envision a scenario where it makes sense—unless you are invited to some island beyond the bounds of law where men are hunted for sport. You don't want to make it too easy, so you hunt with the crossbow. Then again, we are talking about the most dangerous game of all here, so you have the high-powered rifle as a backup. Speaking of backups, you might want to add the G.R.A.D. .22-cal knife gun to your double-kill arsenal just in case. Hit the following link to see a video of the TAC-15 in action.

Can't makeup your mind? Makeup your hair!
No bleach. No damage. Just Unicorn Hair magic! Live your best life with makeup for your hair - no commitment or hair dye required. Our new Unicorn Hair Rainbow Mist lets you spray and play with fantasy hair for a day! Read More
Unicorn Hair Rainbow Mist is a temporary hair color spray that adds dimension and shine to your inches with pretty pearly pigments.
- Eight pearlescent shades that coat hair with a glowing sheen of color.
- Adds dimension and shine to every curl and wave for definition.
- Blondes, brunettes, and everyone in between get to have more fun - Rainbow Mist works on everyone!
- Hair moves and bounces with a light hold and soft sugary scent.
- Create highlights, spray ends for an ombre effect, or flip it and reverse it for a gradient from root to tip.
- Mix and match colors then top it off with our Unicorn Hair Star Mist glitter spray for a subtle coat of sparkle.
- Spray it in for the day and wash it away.
What It Does: Lets you experiment with no commitment. Coats hair with a pearly sheen of color for hypnotizing dimension and shine.
What It Won't Do: Leave hair crunchy, chalky, and stiff!
- Clear the way! Rainbow Mist is temporary on hair. Light-colored clothing is another story. To be safe, drape a towel (you don't care about) over shoulders to shield clothing and skin.
- Make sure to shake up all that unicorn magic. Start with hair that has already been heat-styled. When spraying hair, hold precision tip about 8 inches away and press down gently for control. Spray in small circular motions for even coverage.
- For streaks and highlights, separate hair into 2 inch sections and spray at a closer distance for more saturated coverage. It only smells like sugar, so point away from eyes and mouth!
- Allow Rainbow Mist at least 5 minutes to settle in and dry, to avoid transfer onto skin and clothing. Fluff up hair and you're ready to go!
- Before you lay your pretty head to bed, remember to wash out to avoid stained sheets. For our super platinum blondes, keep in mind over-processed hair can really hold on to color. In some cases, lighter hair may need more than one wash. We recommend doing a strand test first.
WARNING: Flammable Aerosol. Avoid spraying in eyes. Contents under pressure. Do not puncture or incinerate. Do not store at temperature above 120°F. Keep out of reach of children. Use only as directed. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents can be harmful or fatal. May stain or transfer to clothing, fabric, and bed sheets. Wash off skin with soap and water. Not for use on eyebrows, eyelashes, body hair, or skin.

After our article was published on Friday, Bryan Klug and Simon Milton gave interviews to the local press, which related to some of the topics that we'd raised. Simon Milton, in particular, was keen to emphasise, when quoted on Those Were The Days that the club's owner would be making up the shortfall in funding as a result of the failure to gain category 1 status, in order to fund the Academy at a full rate. We hope this happens and in particular we hope that the Academy will be resourced as a priority for the football club – including facilities and staffing. We trust that existing staffing levels will be maintained.

I can't believe it's not a Big Buttery Audit Vat25/07/2014
by Gavin Barber
Lots of people ask for money. Most of us – me included – conduct a kind of instantaneous, subconscious cost/benefit analysis of each request before giving a response. Context is important. Earlier today I was asked for a charitable donation and gave the full amount, without hesitation. The charity was a random teenager who was 10p short of his bus fare. I paid in full because a) I could afford it, and b) it would mean that he could end his long-running argument with the driver, meaning that I could finally get off the sweltering pavement, onto the bus, and on with the rest of my life. Philanthropy and self-interest, perfectly married in a moment.
Rightly or wrongly, if you're prepared to ask people for money then you need to be ready to make them feel that they're Doing Something Good or Getting Something Back, or, preferably, both. Which is why the decision to ask supporters for cash to fund ITFC's bid for Category One Academy status was such a bold one. And, on the basis of today's announcement that the bid has failed, a potentially ill-advised one too.
We are told that the bid for Category One status has failed to reach the required 75% standard by just 0.3%. Who knows what complex algorithms lie behind this outcome? "IF facilities.PITCH >64% AND coaching.YOUTHDEV >72% THEN value academy.LEVEL must = 01". That sort of thing. Maybe. Myriad factors, we are told, are considered. Investment. Coaching. Facilities. It all gets churned into a big buttery Audit Vat, and for ITFC it apparently comes out at 74.7% proof.
One could speculate on the maturity of a process which allows for such fine margins of error in an area of such inexact science; one could speculate further on how the application of the audit process might vary between clubs of different levels and status – particularly given that this whole thing was begat by the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP), itself yet another downwards kick from the jackboot of the super-rich clubs into the faces of the rest.
And yet. You can only play the hand you're dealt, and ITFC's response to these challenges was, firstly, to opt rather defiantly for Category Two – like a spurned suitor petulantly de-friending the object of their affections on Facebook – only to decide that, actually, we did want to play with the big boys after all. But we needed someone else to pay for it.
That initial decision was important. ITFC weighed up the options available under EPPP and decided that Category Two was the least-worst of them. Or perhaps that Category One was not worth the risk. Not only was there a 5,000-strong petition raised in protest, but statistics provided by the Ipswich Town Supporters' Trust proved that investment in Academies was more than likely to repay itself several times over in revenue from player sales, and transfer fee costs saved. Category Two, however, remained the preferred option at that time. It was a decision that now appears to have been costly, both in footballing and financial terms. Perhaps one that Marcus Evans now regrets.
And yet. When Town did decide to pursue Category One status – and let's go right out on a limb here and suggest that the potentially beneficial effects of Category One on the overall balance sheet may have helped to prompt Marcus's change of heart – it was the supporters who were asked to foot the bill. Not just a few quid for some fluorescent cones and training tops, but a sizeable chunk of the overall funding required for Category One.
Ipswich Town FC is part of the Marcus Evans Group, a multinational conglomeration of Stuff which employs squillions of people to make gazillions of dollars. It is not, perhaps, the most obvious cause when it comes to charitable giving, yet several supporters decided that it was worthy of donations. In issuing that appeal, ITFC sent out two distinct messages: firstly, that a Category One academy was a nice-to-have rather than a must-have, and supporters should therefore be expected to contribute to it. And secondly, if it was an enterprise inextricably attached to a cause, rather than a business decision about allocation of resources – as would presumably be the case in every other division of MEG – then supporters could arguably be seen to carry an implicit level of blame in any subsequent failure to achieve the desired outcome.
Like I said earlier, you can ask people for money any old time you want, but there's an implied contract in any request for funding, particularly for a private organisation with an already-significant cashflow. And here we come back, rather cynically perhaps, to our two tests for charitable giving: am I Doing Something Good and will I Get Something Back?
The answer to those questions would both have been 'yes' if ITFC had found an extra 0.3% from somewhere. But we didn't. We failed on the margins. And yet – as frustrating as it is to apparently miss out by such a tiny amount – it is always the case that, like a first serve in tennis, if you aim for the margins, you risk hitting the wrong side of them.
It's easy, of course, to point the focus of attention towards those who carried out the audit. EPPP is a disastrously ill-thought-out initiative, so there's no reason not to assume that the processes which underpin its implementation might also benefit from some improvement. But however flawed the process might be, the story to take from today's announcement is surely not the fact that ITFC missed out on Category One by 0.3%, but that we put ourselves in a position whereby that might ever have become an issue. Why aim for the margins? Why look at the criteria and the processes, and decide that scraping around for 75% is the best approach to take – rather than determining to invest whatever is necessary to reach Category One, from the start? Why opt for Category Two, then spend time and effort recruiting a team capable of delivering Cat One, two years later?
These are business decisions and it's not for me to say which is the right one and which is the wrong one. But as a supporter, it is for me to say something about asking fans to subsidise the shortfall left by some of those business decisions. And that is this: if you are going to ask fans for money to provide a Category One Academy, over and above the investment that fans already make via season tickets etc., and in the full understanding that Category One brings financial benefits to the club and its owner as well as sporting benefits to the team and its supporters, then you had better make damn sure you get it right. We are told that financial investment is only one of the criteria used to determine Academy status. In that case, if fans have contributed to the financial side of things, then it is down to the club to make sure that everything else is in order, to the extent where a margin of 0.3% in an audit score shouldn't ever have become an issue.
Having put supporters in an arguably invidious position by asking for contributions in the first place, only to let them down by failing to deliver the aim that they were being asked to contribute to achieving, the Club and its owner once again have questions to answer. What will happen to those contributions? Why, with supporters' contributions behind them, does it appear to be the case that ITFC aimed for being 'just good enough' to achieve Category One – and turned out to be not quite up to it – rather than reducing the risk by aiming higher than that? What happens next? Will there be a new approach or will supporters be asked for yet more money? As ever, we eagerly anticipate answers.

Sir Alf Ramsey's last resting place02/07/2014
Today I visited cremation plot OC 194 in the old Ipswich cemetery. This is where the ashes of Sir Alf Ramsey are buried. I had heard from someone that he had never seen any flowers there and so I decided to take him a few from my garden. Sadly, the white flowers have all gone over and so I had to take pink and blue blooms. As it's the World Cup finals at the moment, I wanted to thank the man who built the England team that won the Jules Rimet trophy in 1966, the most successful national manager of all time, who was also the man who transformed my team, Ipswich Town, from a provincial club to a renowned side that won the English football league championship in 1961/2. In fact, when I eventually found his plot, there were some flowers there, but it was good to be able to leave something on behalf of Turnstile Blues. To find his last resting place to be as modest and humble as the man was in life was very moving. Thank you, Sir Alf Ramsey, 1920-1999.
There are more questions than answers01/07/2014
Recently we asked ITFC a question via the medium of Twitter
We haven't had a reply, but what's new?
So we'd like to ask the Club a few more questions. Firstly, we ask again, when can we expect to hear official news about the final decision on our application for Cat. 1 status for the Academy?
We understand that additional information has been provided already but the required standard has still not been achieved and therefore an appeal has been lodged with the FA.
Has the FA given an indication to the Club as to when the decision on that appeal will be made, and, if so, when will that be?
How much money has been donated by fans/local businesses/sponsorship to the Academy Friends' scheme to date?
Is the Academy paying the Club to use the training ground (bought from ITFC by Marcus Evans (Guernsey) Ltd in 2012) and, if so, how much is being charged?
How many people were employed by the Academy at the time of the audit and how many people are still on the payroll today? How many people who work for the Academy are also employed in other roles at the club?
We are disappointed that ITFC has not answered any of our questions about many different issues that concern a significant number of supporters – which we have sent them in the form of letters, e-mails and tweets – in the past and hope that they will engage with us now. We are all fans of long standing. Many are season ticket holders. All supporters, even if they are merely "customers" in the Club's eyes, have the right to know what is going on at our football club. We believe that, in particular, those people who have given the Club donations through the Academy Friends' scheme, in some cases substantial amounts of money, should be kept informed of what is happening on a more regular basis.
We look forward to hearing the answers to these questions and some others that we will be asking over the next few days.

China touch panel makers are making slower-than-expected progress producing in-cell and on-cell touch panel technology during 2014, according to findings from Digitimes Research.
Digitimes Research recently visited FPD China 2014 and found that major touch panel makers such as BOE, Tianma and China Star Optoelectronics Technology (CSOT) are behind in their originally estimated schedule for producing in-cell and on-cell touch panel technology and instead are turning to producing other touch technologies.
Some of those technologies include carbon nanotube, graphene, metal mesh and nano silverwire, which have all undergone mass production as of 2014, said Digitimes Research, adding that the China makers plan to use graphene thin-film touch panels for use in white-box handsets.
Digitimes Research also said that Nippon Electric Glass (NEG) was also in attendance to display advancements in its glass products and is reportedly further cooperating with Taiwan touch panel makers to produce new touch panels in 2014.

With the missionary image of Our Lady of Guadalupe displayed beside the altar, Augustinian Father Denis Wilde celebrated the Eucharist during a Pro-Life Day of Recollection on June 14 at St. Joan of Arc Church in Indianapolis.
During his homily, the Priests for Life speaker reminded pro-life supporters to pray to both Jesus and Mary for help in battling sin and the culture of death that are prevalent in contemporary society.
"Call to mind the marvelous gift of Mary," Father Wilde explained. "She represents the Mother Church because we wouldn't have the Church without Jesus and we wouldn't have Jesus without Mary. … St. Augustine said before she bore him in her womb, she bore him in faith."
The Virgin Mary's "total 'yes' to God" before the Archangel Gabriel was filled with power, he said, because she was free from original sin and fittingly prepared to become the mother of Jesus.
"It is, of course, up to us all during our life to live that ['yes'] out," Father Wilde said, in service to God and his people.
"We have so many gifts," he said, "starting with the gift of our own life and that we're able to worship God in freedom."
With thankfulness for God's gifts and blessings comes the responsibility to do God's work, Father Wilde said, and his graces will help us do that in daily life.
"When we are four-square with the Lord," he said, "when we respond with a 'yes' without adding stipulations, it is then that we are most powerful because we have let into our lives an obedience to what God's plan is for us."
Complete surrender in life is living and working for Christ, Father Wilde said, so that we may be worthy of God's promises of redemption, salvation and eternal bliss.
Active in pro-life ministry for four decades, Father Wilde has traveled to 43 states on behalf of Priests for Life to preach about the Gospel of Life at more than 450 programs as well as support the local pro-life efforts of clergy and laity.
"The devil is a liar and a murderer," he said during his pro-life presentation, and the abortion industry is fueled by lies.
For spiritual inspiration, Father Wilde urged pro-life supporters to read Chapter 12 of the Book of Revelations, which describes how evil wages war with "those who keep God's commandments and bear witness to Jesus" (Rv 12:17).
St. Anthony parishioner Debbie Miller of Indianapolis started Healing Hidden Hurts in 1999 after she experienced post-abortion reconciliation because she wanted to help other women suffering from the trauma of abortion.
"It is the Lord who is doing this work," Miller said. "Because I have had an abortion, a lot of times women who are contemplating abortion will speak to me. And because I've been there, I can tell them that it is a place they never want to go."
With prayer support, she said, "God has worked very powerfully through this ministry."
Miller had an abortion at age 23 at the urging of her husband, who was temporarily unemployed and concerned about being able to support their two young children.
"It wasn't something I wanted to do," she said of the abortion. "I never wanted it. … We felt like we had no choice. I told myself that this was one of those hard things in life, and I had the abortion. … I thought that I could put it behind me and move on, but I was mistaken. Like a lot of women, I was deeply affected by my abortion and never realized it for many, many years. … As the years went on, I realized that I no longer had tears. … God was not a part of my life so when I had to make this horrible decision I never thought to turn to God."
Miller said she struggled with feelings of deep sadness, physical and emotional pain, inappropriate expressions of anger and isolation from God until she participated in a Christ Renews His Parish retreat and was reconciled with God.
Women often deny their abortion experience, she said, and don't understand why they are grieving, feeling angry or thinking about suicide.
Miller said when she finally turned to God for help, went to confession and received the Eucharist for the first time in 20 years, "good things began to happen to me, and I knew that God had heard my prayer and he was there for me."
She returned to her Catholic faith, participated in an abortion reconciliation retreat and later said "yes" when God called her to begin Healing Hidden Hurts.
"Women need to develop a personal relationship with God," Miller said, in order to heal from the trauma of abortion.
St. Boniface parishioner Diane Teder-Cochrane of Lafayette, Ind., the owner of St. Michael's Catholic Books Inc. store, told pro-life supporters about how Jesus and Mary sustained her during several miscarriages and other difficult times for her family.
"Here are a couple pointers of things that you can do with Our Lady to help you get where you need to be," she said. "I've learned them through all this suffering so I think it's a good thing to pass them on."
Sanctify your sleep, she advised, by telling God that you love him and ask him to bless your time of rest.
"Smile," Teder-Cochrane said. "… Look in the mirror and say 'I can make it today. Everything is OK because I've got you [God].' … The adrenalin that flows from that smile into your body changes you and changes everyone you meet."
Never tell lies, she said. "No exaggerations of the truth. God is truth. Anything else comes from the devil."
Each day, she said, "say 'God bless you' to everyone you meet. … It's a prayer. Start every day with a consecration to Jesus and Mary by praying 'I am all yours, and all that I have is yours.' "
Display holy images in your home, she said. "Your home should become a little church. … Make it holy. Pray there."
Life is a cross, and there is always another cross waiting, she said, "but the minute you offer it up to God that relieves it." †

It might still be four months until Christmas, but lovers of a glass of fizz can already get ready for the festive season with their bubbly-themed advent calendar.
Online alcohol retailer The Pip Stop are selling a variety of Christmas gifts on their website, including the 'Sparkle Advent Calendar'.
It features a tiny bottle of fizz behind each of its 24 windows, including Prosecco, cava and Champagne. As you might expect, this gift doesn't come cheap and will set you back £125.
Although it doesn't officially go on sale until September 18, you can pre-order one now - perhaps a wise move given that these are likely to sell out fast.
The company are also selling a variety of other gift calendars, including ones filled with beer, wine, and gin and tonic and even baubles filled with alcohol.
Demand has proved big in the past so although the mention of the 'C' word will send a shiver up spines this far out of the festive season, only the best prepared will get their hands on one.
Other alternative calendars have sold out well in the past - with Benefit's sold-out beauty version selling for twice its retail price on Ebay last year.
On Saturday many Lidl stores across the country ran out of Prosecco after the supermarket chain offered six bottles of Allini fizz for £20 - working out at just £3.33 a bottle.

NATO and their allies seem more and more scared because of a new evolution in Taliban strategy. If some decades ago, they were considered as modernity's lost children (ie listening to music or watching TV were strictly forbidden), they are now massively entering digital era, deploying an efficient Social Media strategy.
For many months now, citizens or activists can follow Alemarahweb account, on the current fights from islamist troops vs American soldiers. We've also seen a true Twitter war between ISAF and Taliban spokeperson, which is a very interesting trend for next battles; giving live updates and controling the WOM spread is as important as earning new grounds. It is highly strong for Taliban as these social platforms endeavour their contact strategy with foreign opinion leaders. Websites pro-Taliban are sky-rocketing and it is linked to a "real" and daily pressure pattern on local populations. Not only through dangerous, violent and costly raids, but also through massive SMS sending, diffusing ideas and information on Jihad. Because it is sent at a very frequent pace, it could be compared to a digital minaret. Every channel used by international brand is also mastered by Talibans. It gives coherence and "form" to their ambition.
If we summarize: Bin Ladin implemented a TV-oriented communication. It had advantages (shock, expectations from media, fear…) but it lacked what the new digital strategy owns: resilience with their target groups.
It is to be approached as one of the most jeopardizing threat against NATO; because the vision is now kind of blurry, local citizens start doubting, whereas Talibans suggest a simple thus coherent platform.
Talibans managed to control again the communication funnel, as Thomas Ruttig explained in 2010 en 2010 : "Ces huit ou neuf dernières années, les Taliban ont réussi à diminuer le nombre de voix émanant du mouvement. Les premières années après la chute des Taliban, il y avait différents porte-paroles donnant souvent des versions différentes de la situation. Mais c'est terminé."
Conquering new cash-flow providers in foreign countries + a necessary need to get direct responses capabilities in terms of influence were two priorities. Because the new generations are highly pervasive in Afghanistan; they've been raised with internet and with Afghan diaspora. Soft Power is not only great powers' main asset; it's now also widely relevant for niche groups like Talibans for 2 reasons: they move faster than big organizations; they have a will in which deat is also part of the programme.
