A Khmer dance group performs at the Rainier Community Center in celebration of the passage of Senate Bill 5173.
I knew we had a lot of support this past legislative session for SB 5173, my bill to secure for all public employees and public school students two days leave of absence for matters of faith or conscience, but I was reminded of the breadth of that support when I recently attended a community celebration of the bill’s passage at the Rainier Community Center in Seattle.
The range of faiths, ethnicities and cultures on hand led to a dizzying assortment of foods and entertainment, along with traditional blessings on our celebration by Native Americans, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, Jews, Christians and Buddhists. Performances included Asian-Indians, Filipino dance group, Pacific Islanders, Muslims and a Chinese lion dance.
While all Americans have the right to practice the religion of their choice, until the passage of SB 5173, they haven’t always had the ability — particularly on holy days unrecognized by our society’s standard Gregorian calendar, or that don’t fall on a Sunday or even on the same day every year. Now public employees may take two unpaid holidays per calendar year for reasons of faith or conscience. It costs nothing, because the holidays are unpaid, and it places no requirements on private employers. At the same time, students may be excused from school for reasons of faith or conscience for up to two days, subject to the approval of their parents.
In other news, I was honored last week to receive the Tikkun Olam Award for Public Service along with Rep. Luis Moscoso, D-Mountlake Terrace, at the annual meeting of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle.
Tikkun Olam is a Hebrew phrase that covers social activism, opposition to injustice, and efforts to improve society and repair the world — and I felt very humbled to be recognized in that context.
The Council on International Educational Exchange, a non-profit high school exchange organization, is looking for households that might be interested in hosting students coming to Seattle for the 2014-2015 academic year.
All kinds of households are eligible — those with families, kids, no kids, empty nesters, single parents, and so forth; the main requirements are kindness and a willingness to learn about a foreign culture.
The students range in age from 15 to 18, have medical insurance and pay their own expenses with the exceptions of food and utilities. They arrive in August on a 5- or 10-month program. Households unable to host a student for the full academic year can also act as a welcome family to bring the student into the community for a part of their experience as well.
For more information or to volunteer to host a student, go to http://www.ciee.org/whoops/.
One of the best aspects of the legislative interim is that it frees up time to touch bases across the district and stay current with everyone’s needs and concerns.
This month, for instance, I attended the Georgetown Community Council and North Beacon Hill Community Council meetings, just to hear what’s important to the communities and whether there’s a need for state lawmaking support.
I also toured Talbot Hill Elementary with Renton Schools District Superintendent Dr. Merri Rieger. The enthusiasm of the students and teachers, and success of their Micro Society program is obvious and reaffirms the great work being done in our public schools. Evidence of students’ academic success, individual growth and good citizenship is very apparent after spending time listening to, and talking with the students.
Also in Renton, I met with Mayor Denis Law and several city council members and staff to discuss the last legislative session and how we can move forward in the next session to address the City of Renton’s main concerns.
I also met with State Auditor Troy Kelley about implementing a proviso I had inserted into the budget bill (SB 6002) that requires a cost and profit center performance audit of the University of Washington. The UW needs to conduct transparent operations and the Legislature needs to know how the students’ tuition is being used. Because the UW is such a complex institution, this audit is just the first step in trying to understand its financial operations and improve its transparency and accountability.
I also met with the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition to learn more about the Superfund site cleanup operations and how I can be supportive of those efforts. Did you know average life expectancy in South Park is 13 years shorter than in northeast Seattle? Environmental conditions along the Duwamish River are a large contributor to that inequity. I’ll be working with the federal EPA, City of Seattle, King County and other stakeholders to make sure the cleanup is a permanent fix, not a temporary and ineffective capping of the pollutants, and that we resolve the ongoing pollution problem that continues to feed into the Duwamish.
At the congressional level, I met with U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott to talk about how to proceed in creating a publicly owned state bank. I also met with Governor Inslee to explain the state bank concept and how it can be useful to resolve our I-502 financial system problem. Did you know the State of Washington uses Bank of America to hold all our tax revenue and provide banking services for the state? Then we borrow from Wall Street to finance our infrastructure and other capital needs. Doesn’t it make sense for us to use taxpayers’ revenue for the benefit of Washington State rather than Wall Street? Initiative 502, which legalized recreational marijuana, will create a billion dollar marketplace that is prevented by federal law from using traditional banking services. A marketplace that is forced to deal in cash only puts the public at risk of armed robbery, organized or other criminal activity, undependable tax revenues, and other assorted general misconduct, not to mention the difficulty it presents in complying with the U.S. Attorney General’s guidance on implementing I-502. A publicly owned state bank is an effective solution to both our I-502 financial system problem and our capital infrastructure funding problem. We should invest in Washington, not Wall Street.
I also attended a Social Security Forum that featured several terrific speakers: Terry O’Neill, national president of National Organization for Women (NOW); U.S. Rep. Adam Smith; and Marilyn Watkins, policy director of the Economic Opportunity Institute. The theme of the forum was Social Security: Preserve It, Strengthen It, Pass It On, and it was sponsored by Puget Sound Advocates for Retirement Action. The group has been organizing a “Scrap The Cap” campaign, which eliminates the tax break high-income earners get in paying Social Security taxes. Eliminating this tax break for the wealthy would insure the viability of Social Security retirement benefits for generations to come.
This week, I’m pleased to announce the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Strander Boulevard extension project at SW 72th Street. The extension establishes a critical east-west connection between SW 27th Street in Renton and Strander Boulevard in Tukwila.
I spoke to high school students and college freshmen in the Summer Youth Leadership Program through which participants meet Asian American role models and leaders, discover Asian community resources, and build friendships with youths from other parts of the Puget Sound area.
Still later this week, I’ll be attending a luncheon for high school juniors who have been accepted into the Washington Aerospace Scholars program. District participants include Deanta Kelly, Noah Palmer and Daisuke Fukagawa of Raisbeck Aviation High School in the Highline School District; Marco Cheng of Liberty High School in the Issaquah School District; and Constance La of Hazen High School in the Renton School District. The program connects high school juniors with educational and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics through independent learning, hands-on interaction, professional guidance, and site-based tours.
On June 29, I’ll be attending the long-anticipated opening ceremony of the hard fought for South Park Bridge. Because the bridge falls at the intersection of three jurisdictions (Seattle, Tukwila and King County), the problem of replacing the state’s #1 rated worst bridge was very complex. Everyone is very pleased to see this day finally arrive.
This is just a sampling of how I’m working to stay engaged with our community to know what the big issues are. If you have a community meeting coming up that you’d like me to attend, just contact my legislative assistant, Chio Saeteurn, and we’ll get it on my calendar.
Well, that’s it for now. Have a great summer.

The bike handlebar, so simple only in appearance, can really help you to solve the driving problems of your bike by improving it.
We often spend thousands of euros to change the bike; you change suspension and exhaust, you mount pieces in carbon, but then you forget the simpler things that really change the driving of the bike, improving it.
- and above all, aesthetics are improved.
Yes, because even if on the forums or in the facebook groups there is only talk of functional advantages, in reality many changes are made exclusively for aesthetic improvements.
At the end you change the bike, to make it wonderful to drive, but also wonderful to see!
Otherwise why spend so much money on putting ugly, anonymous and similar components to the original ones?
The handlebar is no exception. Removing the steel handlebar and replacing it with an ergal SRT is not only practical because it reduces vibrations (SRT handlebars reduce vibration by up to 25%), but it is also nice to see, thanks to the brushed and anodized finish!
Maybe you're thinking that your bike is going to be as good as it is, and we can not convince you of the opposite, because just trying an SRT handlebar will understand the benefits it will bring, improving the driving and the aesthetics of your bike.
In fact, the feelings you will experience we can only describe them, but to live them you will have to try the SRT handlebar directly and enjoy the benefits of driving.
This applies to those who have a 22 mm handlebar as standard, such as the one mounted on most naked bikes, such as Ducati Monster 620/695/696, Honda Hornet, Kawasaki Z800, Z750, Z650, Suzuki GSR, Yamaha Fz8, Fz6, MT07, MT03, Triumph Street Triple etc.
For those with a handlebar with a 28 mm variable section.
And if your standard bike mounts a 22 handlebar you could make a great upgrade and go to the variable section, the handlebars that mount the most expensive and powerful naked (the naked 140/170 hp!).
Have you ever wondered why high-performance motorcycles do not have 22 mm steel handlebars but are fitted with variable-section ergal handlebars?
The builders on low-price entry level bikes are equipped with cheap components (including the handlebars) to keep the price low, but when you buy a 14 / 16.000 euro bike the standard mounted handlebar is almost always a variable section handlebar (some SRT series mountain handlebars).
The choice of using the variable section ergal handlebar is due to the fact that the variable section handlebars improve comfort, reducing vibrations and improving the agility of the bike due to the lower flexibility of the handlebars and the more direct response.
But the thing not to be underestimated is that they also improve the look of the bike, with a nice handlebar with variable section, the bike seems immediately more beautiful, more racing, more expensive, more aggressive, changes its appearance.
You will never find a MV Agusta with a 22 mm handlebar or a Monster 1200 without a variable section handlebar.
Whether your bike is used or new, if you want to improve it while driving and aesthetically, then changing the handlebars by choosing the SRT handlebars is the first thing to do.
Did you know that a different handlebar can help you improve your driving?
If you have already read some of our articles, you will have already seen that by mounting the SRT handlebars, you would have been able to change the driving style, improving it. But do you know why this happens?
I am sure that you have already read our GUIDE and surely you will know by now by heart :).
The SRT handlebars are designed to improve the handling of the bike, especially the naked Japanese who are fitted with very tight handlebars and with an unsuitable fold and also quite uncomfortable.
But how can a handlebar improve the handling of the bike?
The SRT handlebars are designed and studied to improve the ride, the width and the type of fold are unique of our handlebars. In fact, it is not enough to take a low generic handlebars to find benefits, only the SRT low handlebar presents the right measures to improve the driving of your bike.
For over 10 years our company has specialized in the production of motorcycle accessories, in particular in the manufacture of handlebars.
Maybe you do not know SRT Factory and if you are interested you can deepen what we do (by clicking here) to improve the aesthetics, performance and driving of your bike.
With our experience, particularly on the bike handlebars, we have created a line of handlebars with 3 different specific and patented folds, which fit perfectly to most of the bikes, improving aesthetics and driving.
Our low fold and medium fold are born to improve the riding of the most common naked.
Maybe you're thinking that the bikes are all different handlebars? We have verified it, taking the handlebars of the 10 most sold naked in Europe. The result that has emerged is that the handlebars of these motorcycles are all similar, and all present a major flaw.
They are all extremely short and converging towards the pilot, forcing him to an uncomfortable position and penalizing the driving, moreover they are all made of steel, material that transmits a lot of vibrations.
Starting from this base we have developed our BENDING HANDLEBAR and our FOLD MEDIA taking into consideration the driving posture.
The same work was done to create our HIGHEST HANDLEBAR, obviously changing the type of motorcycle taken into consideration.
Would you like to know in detail how our handlebars improve both the aesthetics of the bike, but above all the driving performance and agility?
To help you better understand how a simple accessory such as the handlebar, which might seem trivial, can improve the driving of your bike, reduce vibration and make your bike look even more beautiful, removing the steel handlebar to replace it with an ergal one 7075, TUV approved, anodized and brushed, we have created the DEFINITIVE GUIDE ON THE HANDLEBAR to allow motorcyclists to better understand the advantages obtained by replacing it.
This Guide is our gift for you!
Apparently simple, the handlebars actually prove to be very important, both for safety and for driving (and not to forget the aesthetics, since it emerged from a marketing study, that 85% of motorcyclists buy a specific bike mainly for aesthetics).
If you are undecided on the handlebars and the fold to choose from, or if you just have a few minutes to read, this free guide will help you in the future.
I advise you to read it, it will help you choose the handlebar with more awareness and you will understand that the handlebar is not as trivial as it would seem.
The SRT handlebar not only being wider and offering a superior lever improves driving, but above all our special bends, studied in over 10 years of tests dedicated to the improvement of our handlebars and thanks to the high quality material used, will allow you accordingly to give commands to the bike will be more direct and to clearly improve the feelings and the feeling of driving.
Have you ever tried to push or slightly pull the handlebars of your bike while you're driving and you're on a straight?
The bike will react by curving immediately, the greater the lever, the less this effort will be, obtaining a higher sensitivity result.
In addition you can also improve your posture by choosing a handlebar that best suits your needs to drive the most comfortable bike, such as the high fold.
Changing the handlebars is not just a matter of aesthetics, which will however improve by choosing a colored handlebar that stands out on the bike, or by choosing a handlebar made of ergal 7075 and anodized, you will also improve the quality of the bike and especially the driving.
You do not have to have the handlebar wrong to justify its replacement of your handlebars, if you have not done yet we suggest you read our guide to understand how you can improve your bike by spending very little.
Many times you do not replace the handlebar because you think that the original handlebar is fine, or many times you are worried that you do not mount.
The answer is that you can only improve the aesthetics and driving of your bike by saving a lot of money in unnecessary changes!
If you are afraid that changing the handlebars will overwhelm the driving of your bike, you do not have to worry. The handlebar does not change the driving characteristics of the bike, such as road holding, but improves and accentuates the sensitivity with which you will impress the driving controls.
This means that you will not change any dynamic features, but simply accentuate their qualities, if your bike is agile it will become even more agile with the SRT handlebars.
I am writing this because many people do not change the handlebars for fear of modifying something and making the situation worse, but the replacement of the handlebars will only bring improvements for the reasons I explained above.
These fears arise from some changes to which every motorcyclist sooner or later is obliged to cope; such as changing tires once worn out.
The change of tires is one of those changes that can bring positive or denied, even at the same level of tire (same price range but different brand), the fact of changing brand or model will cause a feeling and different feelings in the guide, sometimes positive sometimes negative, depending on how you are used to driving and other characteristics of the bike.
Changing the handlebars is not like changing the tires, changing the handlebars with an SRT will simply accentuate the dynamics of the bike but it will remain unchanged.
This means that you will only receive benefits by changing your handlebar with an SRT model, amplifying the qualities of your bike.
If our handlebars are the most sold and required on the market is because the quality and care, but especially the years of experience that we have poured on this product are really appreciated by many motorcyclists.
To better understand what we are talking about, I suggest you go read the product descriptions to understand that, besides the quality of course, you are buying unique products that solve driving problems and improve the look of your bike with maximum personalization.
Our products are not cheap, the motorcyclists who buy our handlebars know that they are buying the best handlebars on the market, a premium handlebar of high level, safe, homologated, carefully finished, which will last over time, and that solves all problems driving, vibrating, improving the aesthetics of your bike.
Our handlebars are exclusive, so if you're looking for 20 euro dumbbells you can find many online, but I warn you, worsen your bike with Chinese chopper is not the best, the cinesate as well as being dangerous and poor recognize themselves 1 km away, and they shout to the other bikers "I would like but I can not".
Maybe some accessories china style you do not recognize them if you're inexperienced, but if you know the bike, recognize, for example, a fake Akrapovic exhaust or 4-foot platforms is a breeze.
If you are looking for a product not only of very high quality, but also beautiful, exclusive, and with a recognized brand, then the SRT handlebars are for you.

if you are undecided on the handlebars and the fold to choose from, or if you just have a few minutes to read, this free guide will help you in the future.
i advise you to read it, it will help you choose the handlebar with more awareness and you will understand that the handlebar is not as trivial as it would seem.
the srt handlebar not only being wider and offering a superior lever improves driving, but above all our special bends, studied in over 10 years of tests dedicated to the improvement of our handlebars and thanks to the high quality material used, will allow you accordingly to give commands to the bike will be more direct and to clearly improve the feelings and the feeling of driving.
have you ever tried to push or slightly pull the handlebars of your bike while you're driving and you're on a straight?
the bike will react by curving immediately, the greater the lever, the less this effort will be, obtaining a higher sensitivity result.
in addition you can also improve your posture by choosing a handlebar that best suits your needs to drive the most comfortable bike, such as the high fold.
changing the handlebars is not just a matter of aesthetics, which will however improve by choosing a colored handlebar that stands out on the bike, or by choosing a handlebar made of ergal 7075 and anodized, you will also improve the quality of the bike and especially the driving.
you do not have to have the handlebar wrong to justify its replacement of your handlebars, if you have not done yet we suggest you read our guide to understand how you can improve your bike by spending very little.
many times you do not replace the handlebar because you think that the original handlebar is fine, or many times you are worried that you do not mount.
the answer is that you can only improve the aesthetics and driving of your bike by saving a lot of money in unnecessary changes!
if you are afraid that changing the handlebars will overwhelm the driving of your bike, you do not have to worry. the handlebar does not change the driving characteristics of the bike, such as road holding, but improves and accentuates the sensitivity with which you will impress the driving controls.
this means that you will not change any dynamic features, but simply accentuate their qualities, if your bike is agile it will become even more agile with the srt handlebars.
i am writing this because many people do not change the handlebars for fear of modifying something and making the situation worse, but the replacement of the handlebars will only bring improvements for the reasons i explained above.
these fears arise from some changes to which every motorcyclist sooner or later is obliged to cope; such as changing tires once worn out.
the change of tires is one of those changes that can bring positive or denied, even at the same level of tire (same price range but different brand), the fact of changing brand or model will cause a feeling and different feelings in the guide, sometimes positive sometimes negative, depending on how you are used to driving and other characteristics of the bike.
changing the handlebars is not like changing the tires, changing the handlebars with an srt will simply accentuate the dynamics of the bike but it will remain unchanged.
this means that you will only receive benefits by changing your handlebar with an srt model, amplifying the qualities of your bike.
if our handlebars are the most sold and required on the market is because the quality and care, but especially the years of experience that we have poured on this product are really appreciated by many motorcyclists.
to better understand what we are talking about, i suggest you go read the product descriptions to understand that, besides the quality of course, you are buying unique products that solve driving problems and improve the look of your bike with maximum personalization.
our products are not cheap, the motorcyclists who buy our handlebars know that they are buying the best handlebars on the market, a premium handlebar of high level, safe, homologated, carefully finished, which will last over time, and that solves all problems driving, vibrating, improving the aesthetics of your bike.
our handlebars are exclusive, so if you're looking for 20 euro dumbbells you can find many online, but i warn you, worsen your bike with chinese chopper is not the best, the cinesate as well as being dangerous and poor recognize themselves 1 km away, and they shout to the other bikers "i would like but i can not".
maybe some accessories china style you do not recognize them if you're inexperienced, but if you know the bike, recognize, for example, a fake akrapovic exhaust or 4-foot platforms is a breeze.
if you are looking for a product not only of very high quality, but also beautiful, exclusive, and with a recognized brand, then the srt handlebars are for you.

Many opponents of spinning wind turbines point to their supposed danger to birds and other flying animals, as well as their rather noisy operation and – particularly in commercial installations – their enormous size. Though these may well be excuses by those who prefer to stay with older electricity generating technologies that they know and trust, standard wind-driven turbines do have these issues and this tends to hold back their universal acceptance and use.
We’ve explored a number of bladeless wind-turbines before – the Solar Aero turbine being one (though, by definition, not really bladeless as it merely covered the spinning blades with a housing) and the Saphonian being another. The latter being more of a true bladeless “turbine,” it still required hydraulic actuation of pistons to generate electricity, so its efficiency was probably not all that great (and, to be perfectly frank, it was not strictly a turbine either as it had no spinning parts).
The Vortex, on the other hand, is purported to take advantage of the swirling motion of wind and not direct force like the aforementioned units. This means that it can generate energy from the repeating pattern of vortices (known as the Kármán vortex street), which are generated as the air separates to pass by a blunt body, such as the Vortex structure itself.
The first model to be made available commercially will be known as the Mini: a 4 kW, 12.5 meter (41 ft) high unit intended for residential and small-scale commercial application. A larger model, dubbed the Gran, is also being designed and is a unit with a greater than one-megawatt output intended for use in large-scale power generation for industry and electricity companies.
To get their creations to production, the team at Vortex will be launching a crowd funding campaign on June 1, with details to become available via email alerts on the company’s website.
The short video below shows a Vortex prototype in action and provides some background information from its creators.

You have blazed trails in the classroom, in scholarship, and in the integration of women into Williams. In addition to your teaching of Shakespeare, you were an early introducer to our curriculum of film studies and women’s studies, and your scholarly work in both fields has been highly influential. It has helped illuminate the work of such directors as Herzog, Bertolucci, and Bergman and brought fresh eyes to such films as Blue Velvet and Thelma and Louise. Most notably, however, you have in two highly regarded books expanded our understanding of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, helping us to see more deeply in their work the effects of their personal relationship. As a result, you have become a focus, at times even an obsession, of Plath devotees worldwide. Here at home, we especially applaud your advancement of the role of women at Williams. Joining the faculty forty years ago with few female colleagues, let alone role models, you quickly founded a branch of Committee W on the Status of Women, then helped write the college’s first affirmative action policy and appoint its first affirmative action officer, and then helped establish its first Women’s Studies Program. Through these efforts and so many more you have done as much as any Williams faculty member to make this a place where female students, faculty, and staff can thrive.
I hereby declare you Herbert H. Lehman Professor of English, Emerita, entitled to all the rights, honors, and privileges appertaining thereto.

The conference is co-sponsored by four programs at Texas A&M University School of Law: Aggie Dispute Resolution (ADR) Program, Natural Resources Systems Program, Program on Real Estate and Community Development Law, and Global Programs.
We will address how dispute resolution and collaborative processes can play a role in recovering from the devastating consequences of natural disasters such as Hurricanes Harvey and Irma and the recent fires and mud slides in California, and in taking effective action to promote resilience in response to future natural disasters. Agenda available here.
Texas A&M University System Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Financial Officer, Billy Hamilton, member of the Governor’s Commission to Rebuild Texas, will deliver the keynote address.
The conference will provide a day of presentations and dialogue involving both academics and practitioners in a collaborative atmosphere that can yield new insights, knowledge and best practices in tackling extremely difficult issues under adverse circumstances. Disasters can sometimes lead to a certain amount of paralysis and disorganization because of the many individuals and organizations involved and constituencies’ priorities and needs that may be at odds in certain respects. On the other hand, the need to address disasters and plan for resilience also has the potential to reveal shared priorities, opportunities for collaboration, and creative solutions.
This conference should be of interest to public officials, lawyers and other professionals involved in disaster recovery, and any citizen or organization interested in Texas’ and other states’ recovery and planning for resilience.

The North American National Security Agency, NSA has not correctly protected a file with more than 100 GB of confidential data with sensitive information, leaving it on an Amazon Web Services server and without covering the need to generate a password to access it. The National Security Agency has not yet solved its leakage problem.
This serious error was discovered by Chris Vickery, director of cybersecurity at UpGuard, who alerted authorities in October. According to the expert, accessing this data was "as simple as writing a URL. These data were classified as "top secret" and there were files connected to the US intelligence networks. They are things used to mark people for death and they were available in a URL ", cites the Cnet. Vickery said he had been so incredibly easy to access that when he first discovered it, his first thought was: "Is this real?"
The server was not on the list, but it did not have a password, which meant that anyone who found it could dig into the government's secret documents. It was in the "inscom" subdomain of AWS, an abbreviation for the United States Army Intelligence and Security Command. That is exactly what happened at the end of September of this year.
In this case, the information was available on an unlisted Amazon Web Services server, but it did not need authentication to be able to access it. Among the data, there were documents classified as NOFORN, the acronym that indicates that not even US foreign allies should have access. This gives us an idea of the importance of the information presented to the general public.
This unfavorable situation was generated due to simple human error of the National Security Agency itself, since AWS has options to protect this type of information, but this configuration has not been chosen by whoever has placed the file online .
The data breaches of both AWS and NSA servers have become common in recent years. The poor security in the AWS servers led to the disclosure of data related to the Pentagon, Verizon, Dow Jones and nearly 200 million US voter registrations.
The server in question had 47 files that could be accessed, of which three could be downloaded without any problem, thus exposing large amount of sensitive information to the common public. The 100 GB refer to a failed military project in 2013, known as Red Disk and include images of drones, images captured by satellites and several secret reports.
A virtual disk image, essentially the contents of a hard drive belonging to the NSA, was left exposed on a public storage server of Amazon Web Services. The server contained more than 100 gigabytes of data from an Army intelligence project called "Red Disk," according to ZDNet.
The NSA, meanwhile, has suffered notorious leaks that date back to Edward Snowden's complaint in 2013 about the agency's massive surveillance program. Since then, thieves have stolen the NSA's hacking tools, and an NSA contractor faced charges after leaking the agency's secrets to the public. Another contractor faces up to 11 years in prison for stealing secret documents.
The theft of NSA data can cause serious collateral damage. The massive ransomware attack from WannaCry quickly spread because hackers took advantage of a tool stolen from the NSA. The agency has not yet made any comment about it, however, most of the data could not be accessed without connecting to the Pentagon network, researchers from the security firm said.
ZDNet was able to take a look at some of the files and detected a connection to Red Disk, a cloud-based intelligence system developed by the Army in 2013. Red Disk, a $ 93 million program considered a military failure, was designed to help the Pentagon with soldiers in the field who collected classified reports, satellite images and images of drones. All the data belonged to INSCOM, a division of the Army and the NSA.
"Stated clearly, the digital tools necessary to potentially access the networks that multiple Pentagon intelligence agencies rely on to disseminate information should not be available to anyone who enters a URL in a web browser," UpGuard said in a blog entry. Blog.

Residential real estate can and often does sell at public auction with positive results for both the sellers and buyers. The public auction process allows sellers to definitively determine a timeline for selling residential property. The uncertainty and often lengthy process of finding a qualified buyer for residential real estate can be a daunting task with unknowns that can disrupt future seller opportunities such as moving to a new community for a job transfer, delay retirement plans, prolong expenses of taxation and maintenance, create capital loss as a result of vacancy over extended time periods and provide a challenging scenario of the home suffering market value loss due to being market worn by over exposure.
The buyer of residential real estate often experiences the significant benefit of buying a home at public auction whereby the stress of price and haggling is avoided and the terms of the transaction are known factors early in the process. Buyers of residential property need to have confidence that the selling price is truly a market driven dollar amount and they typically enjoy the validation of their top winning bid by having witnessed other bidders at the public auction compete openly and fairly under identical terms for the subject real estate.
Residential real estate sales are not only driven by the dollars the buyer spends and the dollars that the seller gains, but are influenced significantly by the inherent emotions surrounding the sale or purchase of a home. The excitement of the individual’s desire to sell and move on with their plans when matched with the excitement of buying a new home are combined perfectly in a public auction. The needs of both parties are met and each on their own terms.
When emotion is involved, public auction achieves many benefits to sellers and buyers. Talk with us to learn more about how the sale of your residential property may be best served by considering public auction as your best first option. Everyone wins!

The only thing missing is the star of the show. When she hears that performer Cassie Cassava (American Idol finalist Melinda Doolittle) is coming back home to sing in her church’s Easter service, Marlee contrives to steal the singer for her own program. She’s just trying to help her fellow “Crispers.” A big production needs a big star, right? But of course, nothing ever goes as planned. When disaster strikes, will Marlee’s big dreams disintegrate? Will she discover what will truly help others? What is Easter really all about?
As Marlee struggles with the collapse of her theatrical dream, her friends gather around to encourage her and point her in the direction of Easter’s true significance. She thinks “bigger” means “more important,” that good drama needs flash and show. But she learns that Easter’s message of forgiveness and hope doesn’t need a big spectacle. Jesus “came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” The message from Mark 10:45 resounds throughout the story.
This newest Easter-themed VeggieTales show (the first since 2004) features Bob the Tomato as the good-hearted but slightly grumpy Pastor Erwin, Mr. Luntz as the slightly crazed robot rabbit creator, and the rest of the usual Veggies as townspeople and singers. The music, always funny and clever, is better than ever. Because Cassie is coming to sing in an Easter church service, she and the choir naturally belt out gospel tunes heavy on soul. Doolittle showcases her talent through Cassie, adding a delightful new character to the Veggie family.
Big Idea Entertainment is using the launch of this DVD to partner with World Vision. The DVD includes a short promotional video with a special message from Bob and Larry on the opportunities for child sponsorship. Also releasing in conjunction with the DVD is a special music CD, VeggieTales: Hosanna! Today’s Top Worship Songs For Kids!, featuring award-winning artists Amy Grant and Casting Crowns’ Mark Hall.
‘Twas the Night Before Easter contrasts the popular sentiment that “bigger is better” with the gospel truth that Jesus’ sacrificial death and resurrection is our true source of hope. The writers did not flinch from including direct references to Scripture and the Bible’s themes of hope and salvation. In this VeggieTale, the gospel message shines bright and clear.

the only thing missing is the star of the show. when she hears that performer cassie cassava (american idol finalist melinda doolittle) is coming back home to sing in her church’s easter service, marlee contrives to steal the singer for her own program. she’s just trying to help her fellow “crispers.” a big production needs a big star, right? but of course, nothing ever goes as planned. when disaster strikes, will marlee’s big dreams disintegrate? will she discover what will truly help others? what is easter really all about?
as marlee struggles with the collapse of her theatrical dream, her friends gather around to encourage her and point her in the direction of easter’s true significance. she thinks “bigger” means “more important,” that good drama needs flash and show. but she learns that easter’s message of forgiveness and hope doesn’t need a big spectacle. jesus “came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” the message from mark 10:45 resounds throughout the story.
this newest easter-themed veggietales show (the first since 2004) features bob the tomato as the good-hearted but slightly grumpy pastor erwin, mr. luntz as the slightly crazed robot rabbit creator, and the rest of the usual veggies as townspeople and singers. the music, always funny and clever, is better than ever. because cassie is coming to sing in an easter church service, she and the choir naturally belt out gospel tunes heavy on soul. doolittle showcases her talent through cassie, adding a delightful new character to the veggie family.
big idea entertainment is using the launch of this dvd to partner with world vision. the dvd includes a short promotional video with a special message from bob and larry on the opportunities for child sponsorship. also releasing in conjunction with the dvd is a special music cd, veggietales: hosanna! today’s top worship songs for kids!, featuring award-winning artists amy grant and casting crowns’ mark hall.
‘twas the night before easter contrasts the popular sentiment that “bigger is better” with the gospel truth that jesus’ sacrificial death and resurrection is our true source of hope. the writers did not flinch from including direct references to scripture and the bible’s themes of hope and salvation. in this veggietale, the gospel message shines bright and clear.

The rapid expansion of Lily’s network of umbrella stores made it difficult for the company’s IT team to provide adequate service to the growing base of geographically dispersed sales representatives.
To help keep pace with the growing end-user base and boost IT productivity, Lily’s IT team began its search for powerful, remote control software.
Founded in 2000, Lily is a manufacturer of women’s apparel that forms part of the Shanghai Silk Group, one of China’s largest garment exporters. Lily apparel is sold in 16 international markets and at its 300 umbrella stores located around China.
In recent years, Lily has made strides to strengthen its brand identity and build its reputation in major fashion markets. In 2005, Lily opened its first establishment in Paris, an important milestone that paved the way for international expansion. In its effort to sustain its healthy yet rapid growth, the company has spearheaded an organization-wide project to encourage innovation in four key areas: service, management, brand image and technology.
The rapid expansion of Lily’s network of umbrella stores made it difficult for the company’s IT team to provide adequate service to the growing base of geographically dispersed sales representatives. Until then, IT support personnel paid onsite visits to resolve technical issues, a solution that was proving costly and time consuming.
Onsite visits, coupled with a help desk solution with limited functionality, hindered team collaboration and training efforts, since there was no way to track or monitor tickets with the current software. The software also lacked reporting functionality for future reference and analysis.
After evaluating other alternatives, Lily integrated Support Ultimate to optimize their support operations. The remote desktop functionality streamlines Lily’s IT support process by allowing technicians to resolve IT issues remotely with a robust diagnostic toolset, while guaranteeing security.
Support Ultimate’s session-sharing function has also facilitated team collaboration, since tickets can be easily transferred to other team members. All remote control sessions are recorded for clear accountability and future analysis, which allows Lily’s IT department to make continuous improvements in their service.

I had the amazing privilege of painting during the city-wide gathering of pastors, NGO’s, business, and political leaders at Movement Day 2019 on March 16. For eight hours I was set up in the wings of a room with 1000 leaders, over 150 churches represented, acting as a visual scribe to document what the Lord was speaking to us collectively as a united Body of believers around the cause of seeing God’s Kingdom realized here in our city.
Dandelions: A metaphor revealed in prayer that God has created “spiritually radioactive soil”, and that seeds would grow supernaturally through entire life cycles in an instant to multiply and bear 100 fold fruit. In a moment, God can do what would take 1000 years of human effort.
The cloud of Starlings: Murmuration is the term given to the amazing dance of giant flocks of starlings as they seem to float like mercury fluidly together through the sky. Without a leader or program, they are able to stay coordinated be being attuned to the 7 or 8 immediately surrounding neighbors, shifting in milliseconds to the actions of others. The Lord is calling us in the city, not to a massive program, but to actually love and respond to our real neighbors, the people next door, those we live in and among, and will release major Kingdom movement through our faithful, simple obedience to love our neighbors as ourselves.
The Charlotte and Dubai Skylines: The first global movement day in Dubai finished hours before our second Charlotte gathering, tying us to brothers and sisters around the world… financial capitals of diverse regions. While this is our prayer for God’s movement over the city of Charlotte, we recognize that we are part of a much bigger tapestry of God’s global activity.
The rebuilt Jericho Road: The Good Samaritan cared for a man abused along the Jericho road, but in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: there comes a time when it’s not enough to continue to help the repeatedly abused victims of an intrinsically broken system, but to rebuild the road with justice and truth.
The Loom: a major metaphor “weaving” the imagery of murmuration, seeds, the Jericho road, and the people of society together was the loom. God is at work weaving a much bigger story together. I particularly love that the hands are from one figure, but clearly bi-racial.
The man in the three piece suit: This came from an intercessor at the conference collaborating with me, and came to represent the spiritual authority of “white privilege” that has darkened our city’s history. Here, in the movement of murmuration, this “monopoly man” of elitist privilege and systematic entitlement is disintegrating. Those building the new Jericho Road are dismantling his golden structure and remaking it into a pathway of justice and equality. Faintly, to the careful eye, a second figure formed largely in the starlings can be seen kneeling down through the standing man, representing that it is in laying down our privilege, our grip on power and wealth, a mindset of lack and competition for limited resources… a death to self, that will ultimately dismantle this stronghold and make way for God’s Kingdom to thrive.
As always, the real medium I paint with is relationship. I so enjoyed meeting and fellowshipping with so many incredible people throughout the day, as the painting was a catalyst for rich discussion.

Qualcomm has violated a court-ordered ban on the use of patented wireless tech owned by Broadcom, a federal judge rules.
The legal drama between wireless chipmakers Qualcomm and Broadcom continues this week.
On Thursday, the companies said a federal judge has ruled that Qualcomm is in contempt of an injunction that bans the use of patented wireless technology owned by Broadcom.
U.S. District Judge James Selna ruled that Qualcomm violated an injunction issued last year that banned Qualcomm from using technology in its chips that violates Broadcom's patents on wireless technology. The judge also ruled that Qualcomm has not been paying royalties to Broadcom for the use of its technology in Qualcomm-based cell phones with QChat walkie-talkie feature.
Qualcomm said in a statement that it will appeal the decision. It didn't disclose how much the damages will mount to.
In May 2007, a jury found that Qualcomm had violated patents held by Broadcom that help cell phones process video and walkie-talkie conversations. Selna ordered Qualcomm to stop using the technology and to pay Broadcom royalties on existing infringing QChat products.
Qualcomm has since developed technology that circumvents the disputed patents. This means that newer QChat phones aren't affected.
