Hubble hobbles – Space telescope hit with major computer failure

A major computer failure onboard the Hubble Space Telescope is preventing data from being sent to Earth, forcing a scheduled shuttle mission to do repairs on the observatory to be delayed.

Scientists announced yesterday that a data formatter and control unit “totally failed” onboard the Hubble last Saturday.

The Science Data Formatter is designed to take information from five onboard instruments, format it into packets, put a header on it and then send it to Earth at speeds of up to 1Mbit/sec. Without this computer, the Hubble can’t take on long-planned research projects.

Michael Moore, a program executive for the Hubble Space Telescope said the problematic computer, which has been in orbit for 18 and a half years, was designed by IBM in the 1970s and built by Fairchild Camera and Instrument in the ’80s.

He also called it a relatively simple machine that is vitally important to the observatory’s communication abilities.

“There’s nothing young in the system,” said Moore.

Just a few days into the week, NASA is having both troubles and successes on its various space missions.

On Monday, NASA announced that, with the aid of the robotic arm onboard the Mars Lander, it has found evidence that it’s snowing on Mars.

While the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been circling the planet, the Lander has been sitting on the northern pole of the planet for several months, testing Martian soil samples for any materials — including water and ice – that could support life.

And last week, NASA announced that the Mars orbiter has sent back pictures of what look like old fractures in the planet’s surface, and trails of Mars waterways.

Moore also said that from his point of view, the computer problem is the worst the Hubble has suffered since it went into orbit in more than 18 years ago. This is the first Hubble computer malfunction that has required the installation of a replacement system.

NASA scientists are now working to switch the Hubble over to onboard redundant systems to resume services until the space shuttle arrives with a replacement system. NASA has postponed the space shuttle’s planned October repair mission in order to get a replacement computer system ready.

As of now, John Shannon, shuttle program manager at the Johnson Space Center, said the flight will likely be rescheduled for February or April of next year.

In a teleconference on Monday night, Preston Burch, the Hubble manager at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, said he’s not yet sure what caused the computer failure.

“We do know that unit does run at a relatively high temperature compared to other components, and high temperatures tend to accelerate any kind of degradation process,” said Burch.

“So it may be thermally related, but once again, after 18 and a half years of in-orbit operation continuously, that is a pretty good performance. But, no, we do not know the precise location and the exact nature of this failure, and we probably won’t know until we bring the unit down to the ground.”

According to Moore, remotely switching over to the redundant systems should take about 10 hours and technicians and scientists expect to do it late next week. The switchover will involve shutting the telescope down and commanding it to come back up running on another set of boxes.

While this is a big problem for NASA, Burch said he doesn’t believe it’s big enough to force the space agency to abandon the telescope.

“I don’t see this failure as putting us over the fence and causing NASA to want to throw up its hands and say, ‘Hey, all the hundred millions of dollars we have spent on the hardware and readiness for this mission, we are just going to chuck it because, you know, this is just a little too much for us’,” he said. “We have got a lot of options here.”

Ed Weiler, the associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA, noted that the switchover and subsequent installation of new redundant systems should add another five to 10 years onto the Hubble’s life.

“Hubble has a habit of coming back from adversity, and the Hubble team, which includes the Shuttle team, works miracles, and you know, I am not too concerned about this,” said Weiler. “We will find a way to get this fixed.”

The spare system that the shuttle will bring up to the Hubble was last used on the ground in 2001, according to Burch, who added that the system was stored carefully and the electronics are robust. Burch said he doesn’t see any issue with the backup system being a solid replacement unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much travel time should I plan for the morning of Commencement?

We suggest that you plan to leave for campus at least two and a half hours prior to the beginning of the Commencement ceremony. Traffic is very heavy on the morning of Commencement, so you'll need this extra time for travel, arrival and parking on campus, and finding a seat at the stadium.

Areas in red worst affected by malware. Map from Kaspersky

Published: April 25th, 2014

Having global reach is a good thing, if you’re a corporation or a wealthy retiree. It’s not so good if you’re a piece of malicious code looking to infect other people’s computers. Sadly, malware seems to travel rather well these days, even when it’s only a year old.

Antivirus and Internet security researchers at Kaspersky Lab say that an Android Trojan app they first identified last year has vastly expanded its global reach since then. And Canada ranks among the most heavily affected countries in the world.

The malware goes by the name “Trojan-SMS.AndroidOS.FakeInst.ef.” It originally operated only in Russia, its country of origin, but is now hitting users in 66 countries. The software appears to be a porn-watching app, but if a user downloads it, the malware then downloads an encrypted config file and sends SMS messages to high-rate phone numbers. The numbers are derived according to the mobile country code of the user in question.

“FakeInst was detected by Kaspersky Lab back in February 2013,” Kaspersky Lab says. “Since then, 14 various versions of it have emerged. The earlier versions were only capable of sending messages to premium-rate numbers in Russia. But by mid-2013 other countries appeared on the ‘support list.’”

After enticing the user to download the porn-viewing app, the Trojan asks the user to send a text message to purchase paid content. Once the message is sent it opens a free-access website.

“The Trojan also contacts its C&C [command and control] server for further instructions,” Kaspersky Lab says. “Of all the commands that it can receive and process, we’d like to highlight the ability to send a message with specific content to a number listed in the C&C command, and intercept incoming messages. The Trojan can do various things with incoming messages – steal all of them, delete them, or even respond to them.”

Canada appears well down in the list, but a global map showing the countries most affected provides the bad news. While Russia is in the worst-affected category, with 150-300 users affected, so are Kazakhstan – and Canada.

The story was reported in Computerworld, because, according to Kaspersky Lab, FakeInst “is the first case we have found involving an active SMS Trojan in the United States.”

The U.S. makes the list in the 1-9 users category. You wonder what they’re worried about.

  1. Ugh. So, third incarnation.
    This is an RP where we (the players) make some characters, and build a world around them as we go. Discussion will be held in this thread on setting, future plot plans, etc., and the official posts are for recording the results of this discussion.

    I personally will try to act only as a facilitator/motivator, rather than taking up the usual role of a GM in plot-moderation. That task is up to the players as a whole.
  2. Known Setting Information

    Known Setting Information

  3. The Story So Far

    The Story So Far
  4. Character Sheet & Listing

    Character Sheet:
    Not a traditional sheet. The intent is that we should know fairly little about the character in the beginning--just a name, gender, what they look like, and a little bit more. The "Brief Bio" should be brief, not more than a paragraph, and can include whatever information you think is most important about your character, along with perhaps one bit of less-significant information.

    Look: [LINK to image or description, or some combination of the two]
    Brief Bio:[/noparse]

    Character Listing:
  5. reserved

    RESERVED POST case something else needs to be added.
  6. Name: Ioro (ee-yo-row, first two syllables slurred together as one)
    Look: Ioro looks a little immature, maybe sixteen or seventeen. He wears a shirt and pants of long-outdated cloth, all of it pitch black, dusty, and a little tattered with tears on the ends. His eyes are a deep blue that only just barely contrasts with his clothing. His ears are usually in the shape of wolf ears, and he often has a same-species tail from his back--both with the same pitch-black coloration as his rough, unbrushed hair and his clothing.
    Bio: He's a bit of an enigma. Ioro doesn't try to make his conversation confusing, but it often is; he even seems to be telling the whole truth when he speaks in paradoxes. In general, he's quite cheerful and friendly, hard not to like. He really hates hiding his ears, insisting that he's deaf without them.
  7. Name: Anathea
    Look: She's young, bright-eyed and almost always has a giggle at her lips. With her soft light blond hair, pale complexion and crystal blue eyes, Anathea is a sight to see. She looks about fifteen or sixteen at the most when you put her height and slim body into consideration, but she acts somewhat younger. Her pointed ears are a distinct Elven quality as is her singsong voice. Her dress is a pastel blue colors and there are flowers strung through her hair.
    Brief Bio: Anathea is cautious around strangers and keenly observant. She enjoys watching people and is prone to cheerful conversation when prompted. She chooses her words carefully and seems rather intelligent about several things. She can be very curious and takes advantage of being childish-seeming to adventure around.
  8. Anathea's good.

    I'd expected to have another response or two considering how many people seemed to want to join before the server crash...........oh well.

    I'll start up the IC soonish.
  9. Whaaaaaaa....?
    (I'm confused because nekoarchy hasn't posted in this thread before 'mkay''t know exactly what the purpose of saying 'mkay' is in other words...)
  10. Saving spot for race of birdmen with society issues and cultural nonsense + Character of said race.
  11. Like Pierce Johnson is going to skip out on an opprotunity to be awesome.
  12. Name: Comrade General Sergei Vistovsky
    Look: just above average height, barrell chested with very thick limbs, yet whilst one would expect his fingers to be stubby they are infact long, though like the rest of hsi physiqu muscular.

    of his face, Comrade Sergei's eyes are dark green, each eye set an equal distance from his nose, their position neither noticably clsoe nor far from the bridge of his nose.
    his nose is bulbous, of medium size and it points slightly to the left, indicating that this nose ahs been broken many times.
    A thick bushy brown moustache grows beneath sergeis nose, though it greys slightly at the edges
    he has a squared jaw and hs teeth are rather well aligned, all things considered.
    on the issue of hair, Comrade Sergei normally heeps his short-medium length brown hair (which greys slightly at the temples) is normally combed back (much like Joseph Stalin's hair appears to be)
    Brief Bio:

    A military leader and Socialist, Sergei is ahead of his time both in terms of weapons and tactics.
    other than that, the only known factor about him is that he can be both charismatic and brutally blunt.
  13. Keep in mind this probably isn't Earth, but since Socialist is mostly a political alignment the character is fine as is.
  14. Eh. This is kinda hard. I don't really have alot to post -_-
  15. Yeah, sorry it was so could have her give her name, maybe...
  16. Yup Yup. I was going to introduce her, but after that, I don't want to write.
  17. This is where we need another player to come in...know anyone who might be interested?
  18. Say the town is on fire/ a burnt-out crisp/ruined somehow. I'm sure you can work from there.

Utakatishaji fedha(Money laundering): Dhana iliyojificha kwa wengi!

    Kumekuwepo maswali kadha wa kadha toka kwa wadau wakitaka kujua maana ya UTAKATISHAJI FEDHA (Money laundering), wengine huita "PESA/FEDHA CHAFU" na tumeona ni vema ikaeleweka kwa lugha rahisi kwa kutumia ufafanuzi toka kwa wadau mbalimbali na vyanzo vya uhakika.

    Mifano ya Wanaotaka kujua:
    Kutoka vyanzo mbalimbali mtandaoni (Kiingereza):

    Money obtained from certain crimes, such as extortion, insider trading, drug trafficking and illegal gambling is "dirty". It needs to be cleaned to appear to have been derived from legal activities so that banks and other financial institutions will deal with it without suspicion. Money can be laundered by many methods, which vary in complexity and sophistication.

    Money laundering involves three steps: the first involves introducing cash into the financial system by some means ("placement"); the second involves carrying out complex financial transactions to camouflage the illegal source of the cash ("layering"); and finally, acquiring wealth generated from the transactions of the illicit funds ("integration"). Some of these steps may be omitted, depending on the circumstances. For example, non-cash proceeds that are already in the financial system would not need to be placed.

    According to the United States Treasury Department:

    Money laundering is the process of making illegally-gained proceeds (i.e. "dirty money") appear legal (i.e. "clean"). Typically, it involves three steps: placement, layering and integration. First, the illegitimate funds are furtively introduced into the legitimate financial system. Then, the money is moved around to create confusion, sometimes by wiring or transferring through numerous accounts. Finally, it is integrated into the financial system through additional transactions until the "dirty money" appears "clean."

    Money laundering can take several forms, although most methods can be categorized into one of a few types. These include "bank methods, smurfing [also known as structuring], currency exchanges, and double-invoicing".
    • Structuring: Often known as smurfing, this is a method of placement whereby cash is broken into smaller deposits of money, used to defeat suspicion of money laundering and to avoid anti-money laundering reporting requirements. A sub-component of this is to use smaller amounts of cash to purchase bearer instruments, such as money orders, and then ultimately deposit those, again in small amounts.
    • Bulk cash smuggling: This involves physically smuggling cash to another jurisdiction and depositing it in a financial institution, such as an offshore bank, with greater bank secrecy or less rigorous money laundering enforcement.
    • Cash-intensive businesses: In this method, a business typically expected to receive a large proportion of its revenue as cash uses its accounts to deposit criminally derived cash. Such enterprises often operate openly and in doing so generate cash revenue from incidental legitimate business in addition to the illicit cash – in such cases the business will usually claim all cash received as legitimate earnings. Service businesses are best suited to this method, as such businesses have little or no variable costs and/or a large ratio between revenue and variable costs, which makes it difficult to detect discrepancies between revenues and costs. Examples are parking buildings, strip clubs, tanning beds, car washes, and casinos.
    • Trade-based laundering: This involves under or overvaluing invoices to disguise the movement of money.
    • Shell companies and trusts: Trusts and shell companies disguise the true owner of money. Trusts and corporate vehicles, depending on the jurisdiction, need not disclose their true, beneficial, owner. Sometimes referred to by the slang term rathole though that term usually refers to a person acting as the fictitious owner rather a business entity.
    • Round-tripping: Here, money is deposited in a controlled foreign corporation offshore, preferably in a tax haven where minimal records are kept, and then shipped back as a foreign direct investment, exempt from taxation. A variant on this is to transfer money to a law firm or similar organization as funds on account of fees, then to cancel the retainer and, when the money is remitted, represent the sums received from the lawyers as a legacy under a will or proceeds of litigation.
    • Bank capture: In this case, money launderers or criminals buy a controlling interest in a bank, preferably in a jurisdiction with weak money laundering controls, and then move money through the bank without scrutiny.
    • Casinos: In this method, an individual walks into a casino and buys chips with illicit cash. The individual will then play for a relatively short time. When the person cashes in the chips, they will expect to take payment in a check, or at least get a receipt so they can claim the proceeds as gambling winnings.
    • Other gambling: Money is spent on gambling, preferably on higher odds. One way to minimize risk with this method is to bet on every possible outcome of some event where there are many possible outcomes and no outcome(s) have short odds – the bettor will lose only the vigorish and will have (a) "winning" bet(s) that can be shown as the source of money should this be requested. The "losing" bets will remain hidden.
    • Real estate: Someone purchases real estate with illegal proceeds and then sells the property. To outsiders, the proceeds from the sale look like legitimate income. Alternatively, the price of the property is manipulated: the seller agrees to a contract that under-represents the value of the property, and receives criminal proceeds to make up the difference.
    • Black salaries: A company may have unregistered employees without a written contract and pay them cash salaries. Dirty money might be used to pay them.
    • Tax amnesties: For example, those that legalize unreported assets in tax havens and cash
    • Fictitious loans
    • A goal of money laundering is to be able to use the dirty money for private consumption. If unable to use it openly, the traditional way to keep the dirty money near is hiding it as cash at home or other places. A more modern method is a credit card connected to a tax haven bank.

    wanakuwaga na makaratasi fulani hivi yamekatwa kama hela hivi mara nyingi ni kwenye us dollars so wanachokifanya ni kuzisafisha kwa kutumia kemikali maalumu then itakuwa pesa kabisa na watu wengi wametajirika sana .
    hi biashara ni haramu na ni zaidi ya kuhujumu uchumi usijaribu

    Kusafisha pesa kwa kingereza ni "Money Laundering". Maana yake unaichukua pesa ambayo haijapatikana kihalali unaingiza kwenye mzunguko halali. Mfano pesa iliyopatikana kwa kuuza mihadarati, madawa ya kulevya au uharamia ni pesa haramu (dirty money). Pesa hii iliyopatikana kiharamia ukiingiza kwenye mzunguko wa pesa kwa kununua biashara halali, kujenga nyumba au kuweka kwenye bank hapo unakuwa umesishwa na kosa la kutakatisha pesa.

    Kosa hili ni kubwa sana duniani nzima, nchi kama Marekani unaweza kula miaka 50 kirahisi sana. Ndio maana wengine tulisema kwamba kwa nini Waziri Mramba na wenzie hawakufungulia kesi ya kutakatisha pesa? Hii ni zaidi ya kuhujumu uchumi.

    Msingi wa neno hili ni kuwa fedha lazima itokane na kazi, huduma au bidhaa.

    Fedha = Kazi, Huduma, Bidhaa.

    Fedha zinazopatikana tofauti na hapo ni fedha chafu. Mfano fedha za wizi, malipo hewa, ufisadi n.k

    Ili kuzifanya zikubalike watu huzisafisha kwa kupitia malipo kwa makampuni eg EPA, au kuzideposit into bank account.

    Sijui kama nimesaidia

    kwa hiyo kutakatisha ni kuifanya takatifu, yaani the opposite of chafu

    How to Clean Paper Money
    Unfortunately, there is really no good way to clean paper money. You can try soap and water, but it doesn't do much to penetrate the surface of the bill. You can always run your paper money through the washing machine in your pants pocket, and then let it air dry.

    Other than that, just keep your money in your wallet and out of the dirt. And if you have a really gross dollar bill you don't want to look at anymore, you can spend it and pawn it off on someone else or trade it in for a crisp new one at the bank.

    How to Clean Coins:
    There are basically two ways you can go about cleaning your (not valuable) coins. You can wash them and/or you can dip them. If you want to simply wash the coins, these are the supplies you'll need:
    • Dish soap (the kind for hand-washing)
    • A rag or dish towel
    • Tap water and/or distilled water
    • A Small bowl

    Neno kutakatisha ni kukifanya kitu kuwa kitakatifu yaani hakina dosari mfano Hela ya EPA kama ilivyochukuliwa kwa njia haramu ikirudishwa ili itumike ktk jamii yetu ni lazima itakatishwe isitumike mara tu baada ya kurudishwa kutoka kwa mwizi huyo HUO NDIO UTAKATISHAJI.

    Lakini ktk kesi ya huyu MASANJA yeye pia ni mwizi ma anahalarisaha FEDHA BANDIA KUWA SAFI HUO SIO UTAKATISHAJI NI WIZI.

    Kutakatisha fedha kimantiki ni kusafisha ela ambazo zimepatikana kwa njia chafu.
    Kitalaamu zaidi ni 'money laundering'.

    Fedha zinakuwa zimepatikana katika njia zisizo halali. Kwa mfano corruption, arms dealing, through prostitution rings ama hata kidnappings.

    Ela kama hizi zinafichwa kwenye mabenki ili ku-hide true owners hii inaitwa PLACEMENT.
    Baada ya hapo zinakuwa integrated kwenye uchumi, INTERGRATION kupitia uwekezaji ama njia nyingine kama kununua mali kama nyumba za bei ghali na magari.

    Hapa ela inakuwa imesafishwa siyo chafu tena.

    Huyu Kajala binafsi sifahamu lakini itakuwa ni kesi ya money laundering. Yaani hela zilipatikana katika njia zisizo halali ndio akasafisha kwa kununua labda mali kama nyumba na magari au through other investments.

    Naamini kuna watu wenye uelewa wa hii makitu wazee. Hivi mtu anaposema sijui kutakatisha fedha haramu huwa anakuwa na maana gani. Mara nasikia ooh fulani amehukumiwa kwa kosa la kusafisha fedha zilizotokana na madawa ya kulevya. Hizi fedha zinasafishwa na nini? Na huo uchafu unaosafishwa ni upi? Naomba majibu na siyo masaibu.

    Mbona ni rahisi? Tuseme wewe mathalan unauza unga, au madawa mengineyo ya kulevya ambayo ni haramu. Pesa unayopata kwenye hiyo biashara ni pesa chafu. Na kwa nchi kama vile Marekani, huwezi kuiweka benki kwa sababu watataka kujua umeipataje na kama umelipa kodi. Nasikia kwa wenzetu Waitalia ilikuwa rahisi kwenda Mombasa na Zanzibar kujenga hoteli za utalii. Pesa waliyotumia ilikuwa pesa haramu lakini biashara ya hoteli ni biashara halali inayotambulika. Sasa kwa mtu kama huyu hapo Bongo, labda atajenga nyumba, hoteli, au hata flats za kupangisha. Kwa kufanya hivyo, anasafisha pesa haramu. Umenielewa bibie?

    Kwahiyo fedha itokanayo na dawa za kulevya pekee ndiyo haramu? Vipi kuhusu fedha itokanayo na rushwa? Na ina madhara gani kwenye uchumi? Kwani kuna tatizo gani kama nauza unga kisha natumia faida kujengea hospitali, shule za kisasa, hoteli etc na kutoa ajira?

    Hii kitu wenyewe wanaiita Money Laundering.
    Unachukua fedha haramu ambayo ni Mamilioni ya $$$$ na kuirudisha katika mfumo wa Mabenki kwa kukata 10%- 20% ya fedha haramu kwa maajenti wa abenki Makubwa ya kimataifa.

    Network ya Money Laundering wenyewe wanaiita Cartail

    Kama ulivyosema ni figurative language kuonyesha kwamba unatakasisha fedha Haramu.

    Ukiuza madawa ya kulevya na kupata $10,000 ni rahisi sana kuingia nazo mtaani na kutumia bila matatizo yeyote. ukiwa na $100,000 vile vile unaweza usipate taabu sana kutumia bila kufanya watu wajue na kukutuhumu.
    Sasa fikiria ukipata $1000,000,000.00 unaweza kuingia nazo mtaani ukaanza kutumia bila kufanya jamii au serikali kushituka?
    Wale wauzao madawa ya kulevya na kutengeneza fedha za nguvu kaa $10Million ni lazima watafute njia ya kuziingiza katika system kama Mabenki ya ndani na ya nje bila kuishitua serikali au jamii.

    Hapo ndipo kazi ya kusafisha Fedha huanza.
    Money Laundering ni shughuli yenye kuingiza faida zaidi ya USD Billion 100 kila mwaka.

    Wezi wa EPA wote walifanya Money Laundering.
    Malipo ya pembeni ya mikataba Fake yote Tanzania yamelipwa through System kama hiyo.

    Ukiwa na Fedha kibao hapo naongelea $2000,000.00 huwezi kwenda nazo cash benki na kusema nataka kufungua Account.
    Benki zote za kawaida duniani watakuuliza umetoa wapi.

    Siku z anyuma Benki za Somalia, Rwanda Burundi na Zaire hazikuwahi ona taabu kufungua account ukija na mabilioni ya dola kufungua account kwa sababu serikali za nchi hizo hazikuwa na sheria ya Money Laundering. Hata sasa hivi ni rahisi kwa benki nyingi za nchi masikini kufungua account cash za fedha nyingi ili mradi uwe tayari kukata mpunga wa nguvu.

    Katika nchi masikini kama Tanzania kuna Financial companies nyingi sana ambazo ni maajenti wa biashara ya Money Laundering kwa niaba ya mabeni mazito ya Uswis Marekani na Wingereza.

    Ni biashara haramu ambayo viongozi wa serikali nyingi duniani huitumia kusafirisha fedha wanazo ibia serikai zao na kuziweka katika Mabenki ya Uswis na sasa Dubai.

    hata hiyo ya ujenzi wa hospital, shule, hotel na kupeleka kwenye betting ni moja ya njia ya kusafisha hiizo hela kwa unakuwa umeficha chanzo cha hizo hela zako ndio maana inakubidi ufanye hivyo kingine hata kama walivyo fanya CDM kwenye ile M4C pale arusha kama mtu anajua kabisa ana hela za magumashi lazima azipeleke huko..

    Hata fedha ya rushwa ni haramu. Katika nchi zinazofuata utawala wa kisheria kama umechukua hongo lazima ulipie kodi lakini wengi hawalipi kodi kwa sababu hawataki ijulikane kama wamepokea hongo. Na ikithibitika kuwa umepokea hongo, kama Marekani, IRS (Internal Revenue Service) wanakufungulia mashtaka ya tax evasion. Ubaya wa kutumia madawa ya kulevya kujengea hospitali ni kwamba biashara yenyewe ni haramu. Ni kama vile uwe madame wa danguro na fedha hizo utumie kujenga hoteli. Siku utakapogundulika unapelekwa mahakamani.

Southern Illinois University Research Finds That “Old Slave House” Is Probably a Misnomer

CrenshawHouse_inlineMark Wagner, the director of the Center for Archaeological Investigations at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, has completed a study of his research at the Hickory Hill State Historic Site in Gallatin County. The site includes parts of the 10,000 acre estate once owned by John Crenshaw. The main house of the estate still stands and is known locally as the “Old Slave House.” Crenshaw was said to have captured free Blacks in Illinois and shipped them South to be sold into slavery. He was indicted four times but never convicted of the charges brought against him.

Local legend says a carriageway at the back of the Crenshaw House was used to bring captured African Americans into the home. These kidnapped African Americans were said to be housed on the third floor while their transportation South was arranged. The description of the house on the website of the National Park Service says that the structure was used in this manner in a Reverse Underground Railroad.

But research by Dr. Wagner and his team of archaeologists found evidence that contradicts local legend. The research discovered that a back porch existed on the house. Thus, it seems evident that carriages pulled up to the back porch of the house which was in plain view. So Dr. Wagner believes that kidnapped African Americans would not have been transported into the house where they could easily be seen.

The third floor of the house is divided into very small rooms that local legend says the kidnapped Black people were placed before being shipped to the South. But Dr. Wagner found that the third floor had been constructed in that manner when the house was originally built. And inscriptions found on the walls written in the mid-1800s do not appear to have been written by people held against their will.

Thus, while Crenshaw may have been involved in the slave trade, Dr. Wagner believes that “Old Slave House” probably was not used to harbor those who may have been kidnapped.

Good thread topic!

When decorating the nursery, don't have it so full of furniture that you don't have plenty of room for a bookcase of books and at least one toybox of toys! You forget about those kinds of things for a newborn, but by toddlerhood you'll need them.
Thank-you GraysMama for my beautiful siggy!

Subaru Outback

Vehicles with Safety & Quality Ratings

Select a Year

(2 available)
2018 Subaru Outback

Subaru's Outback gets a nice update for 2018 that includes more sophisticated infotainment systems with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility, revised front exterior styling and updates to the interior. Refinements like sound-insulating glass and retuned suspension make the Outback quieter inside and smoother on the road.

2017 Subaru Outback

The 2017 Subaru Outback sees the addition of a whole new model, the Outback Touring, which includes every single option and adds unique leather and exterior trim. Other improvements include Reverse Auto Braking and high-beam assist.

About Subaru Outback

The 2018 Subaru Outback is an illustration of automotive metamorphosis, transforming over the years from rugged station wagon to something more like an SUV. Whatever you label this 5-passenger hauler, it's been a hit for good reason. The Outback is quite possibly the most recommendable vehicle for the broadest range of buyers and tasks. It's spacious, efficient, comfortable, a great value in the near and long term, and -- thanks to standard all-wheel drive and excellent ground clearance -- can tackle almost any road or weather condition. Add in advanced safety features, driving aids and technology like CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility, and this Subie's recipe only improves. The Outback faces many rivals, from the Volkswagen Alltrack to the Ford Edge, but none have its jack-of-all-trades character.

    Feminized Cuckold Reality

    Mistress Gia Dimarco was booked to domme Sebastian Keys but on my way into the Armory that morning I got a crazy idea when the skateboarders out front the Armory were heckling me. I thought why not turn Sebastian into the bull and bring one of the skateboarders in to think they are going to help us out and fuck a pornstar for the day but instead make them wear women's panties and cuckold them like a little bitch! We had a blast coercing him into the Armory and even more fun whipping, feminizing, making him suck cock, locking him in chastity, fucking his ass! Mistress Gia Dimarco is amazing in this fucking Sebastian and humiliating her chastity cuck by squirting all over his locked up dick then jerking Sebastian's load right on to his face! Everytime I see him outside the Armory skateboarding now he turns red with embarrassment and now the entire world is going to see!

Custom Security Awareness Content

Your company has just endured yet another security breach. One of your employees left an open iPad on a table with friends at Starbucks. One of the friends jokingly sent an email to the employee’s entire department. The contents of that email were, shall we say, colorful.

The thing is you had conducted security awareness training for all employees. How could this employee have made such a silly mistake? Well, first of all the employee might make better choices in friends. But beyond that, why didn’t the training change the behavior? Why wasn’t this employee aware of potential security hazards?

Obviously, security awareness success is an effective combination of implementation of the technologies available to prevent compromises and appropriate human behaviors. While it may be tricky to keep pace with changing technology, it may be even trickier to impact the behaviors that can lead to security issues. Training is definitely a huge piece of this puzzle.

While there are many options available for generic off-the-shelf security awareness eLearning, these courses may not really address the specific security challenges of your organization. At one Financial Services organization, security of systems, processes, and information was critical to the corporation’s success and growth. And, security of clients’ information was a cornerstone of their corporate values. Because of the Company’s business, their security concerns were very specific. The Company faced a challenge: how to formalize these security awareness protocols so that it was easily accessible, consistent, adaptable and applicable across the global population. And, perhaps, most importantly, how to ensure that sharing this information would truly improve behaviors.

Creating an online training program that demonstrated the tools, behaviors, policies and procedures around security requirements provided an exciting, engaging and memorable vehicle for educating the corporate population, scalable and accessible across business units, departments and global offices. KMI Learning developed a series of rich eLearning modules, following a narrative scenario style that provided the underlying security foundation in a compelling way and that is accessible on –demand, to every employee world-wide. Not only that but the courses revolved around a set of characters that were relatable and were in situations that were unique to the Company. Employees saw themselves in these situations. They saw how the policies could and should be applied to their daily work life. They were able to practice decision-making and applying security awareness strategies within the modules with no ramifications for the Company. While these interactions were fun, they were also memorable, easily brought to mind when similar situations arose in real life.

As a result of this Security Awareness program, the Company has experienced a significant, quantifiable, positive change in employee behavior related to security. There has been a significant decrease in security breaches and improvement in routine security measures. And, employees are vested in the series, they anticipate the updates and look forward to seeing in what new situations the characters find themselves.

No longer would an employee not think about leaving an iPad untended!

The International Shakuhachi Society

Nick Bellando

Bellando, Nick
Born 1 September 1981

Shakuhachi & Maker

My introduction to shakuhachi was in the summer of 2000. I liked making instruments (and still do), and found plans on the internet to make a shakuhachi out of PVC pipe. I would carry it around with me, play in the woods, etc. I liked the sounds I could make with it, and found it was a good way to pray when I didn't have words. (Inspired by the book Siddhartha, I had entered attending Bible College and was studying Christianity to learn whether the faith that I grew up with was true or not).

A year or two later I dropped out of Bible College to study other faiths, especially Buddhism. I also happened to meet a shakuhachi teacher, Patricia, who shared my interest in Zen but was also a Christian. Studying shakuhachi with her was a very special time; she also became my counselor and mentor. We would talk together, play together, and pray together. With Patricia I discovered that shakuhachi can act as a spiritual barometer - a mindfulness practice to help you become aware of what's going on inside you. This is especially effective when you have someone else to talk with. Again, I also saw that when improvising freely together with someone else, shakuhachi can really help you to let your emotions flow again when they've become blocked up. During this time I became a Christian as well, but in a different way from before.

I went back to Bible College to finish what I started, then came to Japan to live and find work. I began studying Myoan-ryu shakuhachi (the school directly affiliated with Zen) with Barry Weiss and Suiko Takahashi. Myoan-ryu shakuhachi is primarily for meditation / health / self-realization, not for performance. Barry (who is now a Zen monk) taught me that shakuhachi is a true sound, not a beautiful sound (though a true sound can often be beautiful). Much like the Psalms of the Bible, Honkyoku expresses the gutteral groans and atonal longings of the soul. It expresses joy as well, but the music is honest and direct before it is musical.

Suiko-sensei also showed me extraordinary kindness. He lives what he teaches; there are not too many people in Japan who really care about Buddhism, but this man does. He accepts people as they are. His style of teaching is not to show you the "correct" way to play, but to help you find your own sound. I once asked him about a certain fingering for a piece, and he responded, "this is my style. what's your style?"

I later got married to Mutsumi, a music therapist from Hakodate, and had a little girl, May. We moved together to Hirosaki, the home of Kinpu-ryu shakuhachi. I did my MA at Hirosaki University in ancient Chinese (T'ang dynasty Zen), and learned Kinpu-ryu from my professor, Yamada-sensei. He is almost family to me, and helped me to come out of my shell by reminding me that it's safe to. He helped me to discover my passions in life, and reminds me not to worry or hurry. I still seek his advice on many matters in life.

I've been making shakuhachi (from bamboo this time instead of plastic) since 2012. I learned to make jinashi shakuhachi first, and am currenty studying under Miura Ryuho-sensei, learning to make jiari shakuhachi.

I currently live with my family in Hirosaki, where I play with my daughter, teach shakuhachi, play shakuhachi at elementary schools, nursing homes, and other events, make shakuhachi, and translate books.

My teaching style is not attached to any particular school. I teach primarily myoan-ryu and kinpu-ryu honkyoku, but also work on improvisation, traditional music, and even composition depending on the student's interests. If you are going to be in Japan and would like a lesson, or even to try your hand at making a shakuhachi, feel free to get in touch.

Fall Tree Care: 3 Things To Do This Fall To Help Your Trees All Year

Now is a great time to invest in some simple but important tree care.

Leaves are falling from the trees. Now is a great time to invest in some simple but important tree care activities:

Tree assessment

Your trees go through a lot in a year. Drought can devastate root systems and deteriorate soil quality. Storm damage can leave broken or partially broken limbs dangling in the canopy. This is dangerous for property and passersby below, as well as being unhealthy for your trees. Insects, pests, fungi and disease can attack. It is vital that problems be identified as early as possible, and the best way to do this is through regular maintenance and assessment. The folks at treesaregood.com provide a downloadable Tree Risk Checklist you can refer to on your own. If you see any of the signs on this list, it's a good idea to consult a professional arborist. Whether you see signs of tree risk or not, however, most arborists advise at least an annual assessment by a professional.

The most common tree maintenance activity is pruning. Periodic pruning is an essential practice that results in better-looking, stronger, healthier trees that are not in competition with their urban envrionment. Regularly pruned trees live longer than those that are allowed to grow unpruned, and they are healthier as well. According to arborists at Arborguard, a local tree specialist company that focuses on natural and sustainable tree care solutions, "Properly pruned trees are better able to resist pests, diseases, storm threats and environmental stress. Removing dead and diseased branches not only promotes tree health, but protects you from injury, property damage and potential liability."

It's a good idea to take time in the fall, while deciduous trees still have most of their leaves, to identify dead branches in need of cutting. Between the coldest part of winter and the start of spring is the best time to actually prune your trees. Fungi spreads spores at a higher rate in the fall and cuts take longer to heal as trees are entering into their dormant state.

Proper pruning will result in vigorous new growth in the spring, but poor pruning practices can do much more harm than good. Proper pruning is a delicate art, and while you can do simple pruning yourself, pruning larger trees can be dangerous. The Arborday Foundation recommends that "if pruning involves working above the ground or using power equipment, it is best to hire a professional arborist."

Fertilizing and Mulching

Nothing is more beneficial to a tree's health than proper mulching. In addition to the visual appeal, mulch helps retain moisture, insulate the soil, protect root systems, improve soil quality and inhibit weed germination and even some plant diseases. Mulch also helps protect trees against damage from lawnmowers and weedwhackers.

Fertilizing, surprisingly enough, can actually be harmful. According to the arborists at Arborguard, fertilizing can lead to chemical imbalance and disproportioned growth. "Although a recently fertilized tree may look a little greener," they caution, "fertilizing trees is similar to taking steroids to speed up muscle growth. The side effects can be devastating."

When considering mulch and fertilizer, a good rule of thumb is to seek to duplicate natural conditions by adding organic matter, which contains micronutrients and living microbes and will help aerate compacted pore space. Be sure you don't apply too much mulch or let it pile up against the stems or trunks of your trees, as this may actually lead to worse soil conditions and attract pests such as harmful insects or nesting rodents.

When To Call an Expert

Some tree maintenance you can do yourself, such as minor pruning, mulching and planting, or transplanting smaller trees and shrubs. There is a whole host of resources available online to help you do so, including sources cited elsewhere in this article as well as local hotlines such as the one provided by the Atlanta Botanical Garden. But there are times when it's wise to consult a professional. Annual tree assessments, as already mentioned, are an excellent idea and have many preventative benefits. Extensive pruning and tree removal are also extremely dangerous and should only be performed by certified arborists and highly skilled tree workers for both personal safety as well as liability reasons.

However, selecting the right company to remove your tree is a serious decision. There are no licensing laws that regulate or monitor safety practices in this industry. So be sure you do your research. Tree pruning and removal is a dangerous task that can cause significant harm if not handled correctly. Trees are a long-lived and important part of our home landscapes, so the relationship you form with your arborist is likely to be long-lived as well.

Usable Technology: Innovation to Improve Everyday Life

Waterproof. Wireless charging. Fingerprint authentication. More computing power than NASA’s original moon landers. The level of innovation happening in the mobile industry is groundbreaking and changing the way we interact with one another. But sometimes the marketing claims seem too good to be true. And sometimes they seem downright unnecessary: “Now why would I want that?”

At Kyocera, we listen to our customers and their issues, wants and needs, and then we build devices that address their feedback. For us, it’s not enough to introduce the latest and greatest feature because it sounds cool or because it checks a box. We don’t have what we see as the industry’s “Spinal Tap” mentality, where everything has to go to “11” just because 11 is greater than 10. We introduce a new feature or capability because it meets a real need, it is practical and it delivers true value.

Lately, you’ve likely heard a lot about new devices claiming exciting new features – waterproof, shatterproof, wireless charging-capable and dustproof, among many others. We also build some of these features into our Kyocera devices, but rather than trying to “out-spec” our competitors, we make sure that these capabilities are implemented to solve real-world issues and that the devices are always usable when it comes to challenging real-life situations.

As the leader in rugged devices, we focus our efforts on ensuring that our devices live up to their promises. Here are a few of Kyocera’s recently introduced features and how they function in the real world:

Yes, I can hear you now! (Thanks to Smart Sonic Receiver and dual speakers)

Voice communication, be it frequent or rare, remains a critical function for mobiles devices. Yet call quality continues to be a primary issue among smartphone users – especially those using Push-to-Talk services.

Kyocera’s Smart Sonic Receiver and dual-speaker technology deliver superior sound in virtually any environment, in place of a visible in-ear speaker. For example, the Verizon Brigadier and Sprint TorqueXT, which integrate Kyocera’s Smart Sonic Receiver technology, make it easy to hear calls even in the presence of heavy background noise, such as that created by construction and manufacturing equipment, traffic or large crowds. Smart Sonic Receiver technology uses a proprietary Kyocera ceramic transducer that transmits sound waves from the device as vibrations that reach the eardrum directly through the body.

Protection Against Drops, Scratches and Sharp Objects, Courtesy of Sapphire Shield

Kyocera’s Sapphire Shield is a crystal display technology that is virtually scratchproof, offering premium protection against drops and sharp or abrasive objects. An ultra-strong sapphire screen (fun fact: on the Mohs Scale of mineral hardness, sapphires are second only to diamonds) provides more protection than most smartphone cases, not only against various angles of drops, but also against scratches and objects dropped directly onto the screen.

Military-Grade Protection Against the Elements

Certified to Ingress Protection (IP) and Military Standard 810G durability ratings, Kyocera constructs many of its devices to withstand the harshest environmental elements, with protection against rain, dust, heat, humidity, vibration and solar radiation. They’re also waterproof for up to 30 minutes and many are even certified to OSHA standard Nonincendive, Class 1, Division 2, Group A-D, T4, meaning they are safe to operate in hazardous locations where high concentrations of flammable gases, vapors and mists may exist.

Glove and Wet Touchscreen Operation

Our customers are often working in the harshest work settings and environmental conditions, including wind, snow and rain. That’s why many of our devices feature Glove & Wet Touchscreen Operation. Whether they’re work gloves on the jobsite or insulated gloves in the cold, seamless glove and wet touchscreen operation help field force workers stay connected all day long, regardless of their environmental conditions, without compromising their safety or well-being.

Wireless charging

Battery life continues to be a top pain point of mobile users. The rugged consumer needs multiple options when it comes to charging their devices, including the newest form of battery juicing—wireless charging. With wireless charging, mobile consumers can charge their compatible devices without needing to plug in. By simply placing certain Kyocera devices, including the Kyocera Elite, Brigadier and DuraForce, on a charging pad, charging will begin and our customers don’t need to worry about having enough battery life to get them through the day.

Mobile innovation needs to be more than just hype. At Kyocera, we don’t just talk the talk—we walk the walk when it comes to creating highly usable rugged devices. It’s a passion of ours and something we are committed to for anyone who considers themselves a rugged user. For more information on our product lineup please visit

A bad seed indeed: There's a fine line between slayer and heir p3

We are still talking about slayer statutes and what happens to the heir or beneficiary who is responsible for the death of the testator/grantor. As we have said, you cannot kill your father, be convicted of the crime and still inherit his millions. Pennsylvania follows the model rule by approaching these instances as if the slayer had died before the victim.

The story we have been talking about -- the arrest of Thomas Gilbert Jr. for his father's murder -- is not the only high-profile case to shine a light on slayer statutes. The particularly gruesome murders of Florida businessman and Fontainebleau Hotel heir Ben Novack Jr. and his mother have posed some very interesting questions for probate courts. That's for another post, though.

Slayer statutes apply when there is a will or a trust as well as when the decedent dies intestate. In our last post, though, we asked about another kind of transfer: life insurance payouts.

We have discussed in past posts the difference between life insurance policy beneficiaries and heirs to an estate. Your grandmother's will may plainly say that her entire estate goes to you, but if she has named your lazy brother-in-law as her life insurance beneficiary? He gets the payout. The beneficiary form trumps the will. Life insurance and real estate transfers are considered non-probate transfers; they are not part of the estate.

"Double Indemnity" may be the only movie made with an insurance adjuster as the hero. Barbara Stanwyck and insurance salesman Fred MacMurray plot to murder her husband, to make it look like an accident and to live off the life insurance payout.

The insurance adjuster, Edward G. Robinson, suspects the worst and starts to dig. He knows that the policy will not pay the widow if she was responsible for her husband's death. She cannot profit from her wrongdoing.

But who gets the payout? In this case, Stanwyck's husband had a daughter. She is next in line for the payout. In real life, insurance companies may end up asking the court to decide who will get the payout.

While most states follow the model slayer statute, legislatures have tweaked definitions and some provisions over time. With just a step over the state line, someone convicted of manslaughter, not murder, could still inherit.

Bankruptcy Auctions: Is That Your Final Answer?

Staying Vigilant for Senior Abuse, Even with Authority Figures

Nursing Home Blog

folded hands elderIt’s natural to trust authority figures and specialists when it comes to seniors and senior care at long-term care facilities and nursing homes. It’s expected that anyone in such an industry is likely doing what they should be doing. However, seniors continue to die as a result of poor care and overzealous administration of antipsychotic drugs, which are used to control distraught or hard-to-handle seniors.

It’s an important reminder that senior abuse and neglect happens at the hands of trusted individuals and can even elude doctors and authorities. Vigilant family, friends, neighbors and whistleblowers help to reveal elder abuse issues and stop the hemorrhaging before others are affected.

Often, suspicious senior deaths are said to be natural. This is happening for a number of reasons. Flaws in the senior care system are allowing for abuse to be overlooked in seniors. Problems include:

  • Doctors/physicians are able to fill out a death certificate for a senior without seeing the body, or without having seen the patient recently;
  • Doctors can get the cause of death wrong, and there typically isn’t an independent investigation of the certificate;
  • Assumptions are made on behalf of doctors and coroners/medical examiners that a senior death was the result of the natural aging process, or that is was “their time”;
  • Senior autopsies are occurring with less regularity as a result;
  • U.S. autopsies on seniors dropped to 17 percent from 37 percent between 1972 and 2007, according to a government analysis.

However, some states are taking matters into their own hands to help prevent senior abuse from being overlooked. Counties have formed elder death review teams to assess potential neglect/abuse. Unfortunately, society seems to value seniors less and less despite the fact that their population is growing year after year due to living longer and healthier lives with the help of new technologies. Another issue is that death certificates sometimes contain errors or are incomplete. Doctors, who typically lack forensic training, sometimes aren’t equipped to determine whether a death was extraordinary or routine on a death certificate, which can mean abuse was overlooked.

Furthermore, coroners can be reticent to perform an autopsy or to look into a case. It was discovered in 2008 that autopsies were performed on only 2 percent of 1.8 million seniors who died. This occurs because many attribute senior death as natural at a certain age.

Yet coroners should be looking for specific warning signs in autopsies to make sure a senior didn’t die before his/her time. Coroners will look for:

  • food in a senior’s stomach to make sure they’ve eaten recently;
  • eyeball fluid to ensure that she/he was not malnourished;
  • cleanliness and attire.
  • fractures or broken bones;
  • bedsores, which would imply caretakers were negligent.

In Arkansas, nursing homes are required to report all senior deaths to the coroner. It’s a law that’s been in effect since 1999. Any suspicious deaths must be reported to law enforcement and state regulators.

Criminal elder abuse charges require the services of an elder abuse attorney. To learn more about how the elder abuse lawyers at Garcia, Artigliere & Medby can help, call us today at 1-800-281-8515.

    How much should I charge to lay 12 cubic yards of mulch? I pay 23 dollars per yard. I will have it deliverd. some people say mark it up 1.5 x. What should I do?

    I usually charge 65.00-70.00 per yard. This covers the mulch costs, and the labor for laying the mulch. NOTE: This price deosn't include edging or any bush trimming.
    So a total for mulch: 780.00 - 840.00/ some guys like to charge close to 100.00 per yard, but it just depends what a pain in the a** it is going to be.

    If you charge 1.5 x your cost for installing it and everything, I would say I want to sub you out for myself. When can you move to Charlotte, I'll give you work all year!!! You will make 11.50 a yard is what you will make then, so 11.5 x 12 = 138. Your profit is 138 for installing 14 yards of mulch!! Mulch is one of those things that should make you more than mowing. That is back breaking work. Don't screw yourself like that.You need to make at LEAST 300-400 bucks off this much labor.

    What do the beds look like? Do you have to do a lot of weeding? Edging? Are you going to trim the bushes? Remove leaves? What are the tipping fees at the landfill? Do you have any steep inclines to navigate? Without answers to these questions it is impossible to answer.

    For the mulch alone I take what I paid (including the tax and delivery) and add 50%.

    Around here, it is easy to get $75/yd installed, but we pay $28 to $32 for mulch. Edging, cleanout, and weeding is extra.

    I charge extra and seperate for all the work listed above. Hills and distance from the truck plus how open or full the beds are should be a factor as well.
