Voting Machine Manufacturer Admits To Installing Hackable Software

Voting Machine Manufacturer Admits To Installing Hackable Software
In a letter sent to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) in April and obtained recently by Motherboard, Election Systems and Software acknowledged that it had "provided pcAnywhere remote connection software … to a small number of customers between 2000 and 2006," which was installed on the election-management system ES&S sold them.

The statement contradicts what the company told me and fact checkers for a story I wrote for the New York Times in February. At that time, a spokesperson said ES&S had never installed pcAnywhere on any election system it sold. "None of the employees, … including long-tenured employees, has any knowledge that our voting systems have ever been sold with remote-access software," the spokesperson said.

ES&S did not respond on Monday to questions from Motherboard, and it’s not clear why the company changed its response between February and April. Lawmakers, however, have subpoena powers that can compel a company to hand over documents or provide sworn testimony on a matter lawmakers are investigating, and a statement made to lawmakers that is later proven false can have greater consequence for a company than one made to reporters.
ES&S is the top voting machine maker in the country, a position it held in the years 2000-2006 when it was installing pcAnywhere on its systems. The company's machines were used statewide in a number of states, and at least 60 percent of ballots cast in the US in 2006 were tabulated on ES&S election-management systems. It’s not clear why ES&S would have only installed the software on the systems of “a small number of customers” and not all customers, unless other customers objected or had state laws preventing this.

The company told Wyden it stopped installing pcAnywhere on systems in December 2007, after the Election Assistance Commission, which oversees the federal testing and certification of election systems used in the US, released new voting system standards. Those standards required that any election system submitted for federal testing and certification thereafter could contain only software essential for voting and tabulation.
Although the standards only went into effect in 2007, they were created in 2005 in a very public process during which the security of voting machines was being discussed frequently in newspapers and on Capitol Hill.
Election-management systems are not the voting terminals that voters use to cast their ballots, but are just as critical: they sit in county election offices and contain software that in some counties is used to program all the voting machines used in the county; the systems also tabulate final results aggregated from voting machines.

Software like pcAnywhere is used by system administrators to access and control systems from a remote location to conduct maintenance or upgrade or alter software. But election-management systems and voting machines are supposed to be air-gapped for security reasons—that is, disconnected from the internet and from any other systems that are connected to the internet. ES&S customers who had pcAnywhere installed also had modems on their election-management systems so ES&S technicians could dial into the systems and use the software to troubleshoot, thereby creating a potential port of entry for hackers as well.

In May 2006 in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, ES&S technicians used the pcAnywhere software installed on that county's election-management system for hours trying to reconcile vote discrepancies in a local election, according to a report filed at the time. And in a contract with Michigan, which covered 2006 to 2009, ES&S discussed its use of pcAnywhere and modems for this purpose.

"In some cases, the Technical Support representative accesses the customer’s system through PCAnywhere—off-the-shelf software which allows immediate access to the customer’s data and network system from a remote location—to gain insight into the issue and offer precise solutions," ES&S wrote in a June 2007 addendum to the contract. "ES&S technicians can use PCAnywhere to view a client computer, assess the exact situation that caused a software issue and to view data files."
Motherboard asked a Michigan spokesman if any officials in his state ever installed the pcAnywhere software that ES&S recommended they install, but got no response.

The presence of such software makes a system more vulnerable to attack from hackers, especially if the remote-access software itself contains security vulnerabilities. If an attacker can gain remote access to an election-management system through the modem and take control of it using the pcAnywhere software installed on it, he can introduce malicious code that gets passed to voting machines to disrupt an election or alter results.

Wyden told Motherboard that installing remote-access software and modems on election equipment “is the worst decision for security short of leaving ballot boxes on a Moscow street corner.”

In 2006, the same period when ES&S says it was still installing pcAnywhere on election systems, hackers stole the source code for the pcAnyhere software, though the public didn’t learn of this until years later in 2012 when a hacker posted some of the source code online, forcing Symantec, the distributor of pcAnywhere, to admit that it had been stolen years earlier. Source code is invaluable to hackers because it allows them to examine the code to find security flaws they can exploit. When Symantec admitted to the theft in 2012, it took the unprecedented step of warning users to disable or uninstall the software until it could make sure that any security flaws in the software had been patched.
Around this same time, security researchers discovered a critical vulnerability in pcAnywhere that would allow an attacker to seize control of a system that had the software installed on it, without needing to authenticate themselves to the system with a password. And other researchers with the security firm Rapid7 scanned the internet for any computers that were online and had pcAnywhere installed on them and found nearly 150,000 were configured in a way that would allow direct access to them.

It’s not clear if election officials who had pcAnywhere installed on their systems, ever patched this and other security flaws that were in the software.

“[I]t's very unlikely that jurisdictions that had to use this software … updated it very often,” says Joseph Lorenzo Hall, chief technologist for the Center for Democracy and Technology, “meaning it's likely that a non-trivial number of them were exposed to some of the flaws found both in terms of configuration ... but also flaws that were found when the source code to that software was stolen in 2006.

ES&S said in its letter to Wyden that the modems it installed on its election-management systems for use with pcAnywhere were configured only to dial out, not receive calls, so that only election officials could initiate connections with ES&S. But when Wyden's office asked in a letter to ES&S in March what settings were used to secure the communications, whether the system used hard-coded or default passwords and whether ES&S or anyone else had conducted a security audit around the use of pcAnywhere to ensure that the communication was done in a secure manner, the company did not provide responses to any of these questions.
Even if ES&S and its customers configured their remote connections to ES&S in a secure manner, the recent US indictments against Russian state hackers who tried to interfere in the 2016 presidential elections, show that they targeted companies in the US that make software for the administration of elections. An attacker would only have had to hack ES&S and then use its network to slip into a county's election-management system when the two systems made a remote connection.

In its letter to Wyden, ES&S defended its installation of pcAnywhere, saying that during the time it installed the software on customer machines prior to 2006, this was "considered an accepted practice by numerous technology companies, including other voting system manufacturers."

Motherboard contacted two of the top vendors—Hart InterCivic and Dominion—to verify this, but neither responded. However, Douglas Jones, professor of computer science at the University of Iowa and a longtime expert on voting machines confirmed that other companies did routinely install remote-access software during this period.

“Certainly, [Diebold Election Systems] did the same, and I'd assume the others did too,” he told Motherboard. “In the case of [Diebold], many of their contracts with customers included the requirement of a remote-login port allowing [the company] to have remote access to the customer system in order to allow customer support.”
He notes that election officials who purchased the systems likely were not aware of the potential risks they were taking in allowing this and didn’t understand the threat landscape to make intelligent decisions about installing such software.

All of this raises questions about how many counties across the US had remote-access software installed—in addition to ES&S customers—and whether intruders had ever leveraged it to subvert elections.

Although Wyden's office asked ES&S to identify which of its customers were sold systems with pcAnywhere installed, the company did not respond. ES&S would only say that it had confirmed with customers who had the software installed that they "no longer have this application installed."
The company didn't respond to questions from Motherboard asking when these customers removed the software—whether ES&S had instructed them to do so back in 2007 when the company says it stopped installing the software on new systems it sold or whether it had only recently told customers to remove it following concerns raised in the 2016 presidential elections that Russian hackers were targeting election networks in the US. As late as 2011 pcAnywhere was still being used on at least one ES&S customer's election-management system in Venango County, Pennsylvania.

ES&S wrote in its letter to Wyden that it would be willing to meet privately in his office to discuss election security. But when the company was asked to attend a hearing on election security last week before the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, ES&S declined to send anyone to answer Senate questions.
Wyden says he’s still waiting for ES&S to respond to the outstanding questions he sent the company in March.

“ES&S needs to stop stonewalling and provide a full, honest accounting of equipment that could be vulnerable to remote attacks,” he told Motherboard. “When a corporation that makes half of America’s voting machines refuses to answer the most basic cyber security questions, you have to ask what it is hiding.”

Philosophy, Politics and Economics BA (Hons)

UCAS code VL52

What is special about this course?

This multidisciplinary honours degree offers the unique opportunity to study the three most influential realities impacting people’s lives and is a comprehensive programme aimed at developing the leaders of the future.

Economics: You will examine how economic agents (individuals, households, and businesses) and markets behave and interact, and are influenced by aspects such as inflation, economic growth and unemployment, and monetary and fiscal policy.

Politics: You will examine the different ways in which politics shapes our lives and is organised differently around the world. The programme looks at various forms of governance from clans, upwards to modern local governments, institutions, sovereign states and finally to international level.

Philosophy:  Philosophy seeks to understand, and critically to question, ideas concerning the nature of reality, value and experience that play a pervasive role in understanding the world and ourselves. Problematic concepts, such as existence, reason and truth, occur in every sphere of human enquiry. Others belong to particular areas of thought and practice, such as art and politics. In this programme, you will explore these ideas and concepts and how they influence society.

Special features

  • You will have the opportunity to explore and understand key themes within the three disciplines and will be encouraged to debate, discuss and critically think about issues in life and society

A modern lifestyle brand redefining motherhood
Print Friendly and PDF

Maternity and newborn photography captures some of the most special moments in a family’s life. But these photo shoots can become tricky with toddlers. For starters, for most firstborns this is one of, if not, the first time in their lives that they are not the stars of the show. Or maybe they are shy with new people. Plus listening to directions can be, um, a challenge. These tips help your toddler have a great time at your maternity and newborn shoots. After all, being the big sister or brother is a very important job!

Choose a photographer who knows kids. Working with and understanding children is truly an art. Unlike adults, posing kids works best when it’s more of a game than a list of directions. Photographers who focus on children and newborns will have the skills to interact and connect with children so that they capture your child’s personality at this point in his or her life.

Meet the photographer. If your photographer does a pre-consultation before your shoot, ask if they would be willing to meet your toddler. Shy children will feel more comfortable on the day of the shoot. Even if children aren’t shy, I like to have a “mini play date” with them so they get to know me and learn that I’m a lot of fun. Learning about the older sibling’s personality and interests helps me plan for the shoot.

Share your child’s favorite things. Help your photographer connect with your toddler by sharing their interests prior to the shoot. Knowing a child’s interests help me ask questions that I know will get a response, whether it’s speaking, laughter or movement. Do you like to sing Happy Birthday? Let's sing it! Do you do ballet? Show me a turn! Do you have a new pet fish? Can you show me how to feed the fish? I’ve even sung “Let it Go” and I am horrible singer. But did it work? Yes it did!

Build in show off time. If you have a little ham who loves the camera let him/her be the star for a little while. I like to work with toddlers alone or with another parent during newborn shoots when your newborns is feeding or settling down.

Get someone to help out. Are grandma and grandpa in town for a visit? Not only is this a great opportunity to get a photo of the whole family, they can do something special with the big brother or sister when they aren’t in the shots.

Get a good nap, but get out some energy before. If you are doing an outdoor maternity session go to the park before your session. During family sessions I don’t mind chasing a toddler, but during a maternity or newborn shoot, there’s not as much room to move so get out that energy beforehand.

Need a little bribe? Your toddler may need a little bribe to wear the outfit you picked out or pose with his/her sibling. Try to wait until after the shoot to deliver, but if you must break out a treat, be sure to avoid lollipops or anything with dye that might turn their teeth and mouth a different color.

Communicate with your photographer about the images you really want. Make sure your photographer knows what you are really looking for. I don’t need to tell you that toddlers don’t always cooperate. If that sibling shot isn’t working out, and a family image is suffices for you, let your photographer know. Luckily photographers can create a composite image that combines two images. So maybe your child isn’t interested in the basket when his or her new brother and sister is inside, but maybe when a toy is inside it’s pretty special.

Relax and enjoy! Children quickly grow and change and everyday is a special day.

From the moment my daughter was born, I felt an innate need to care for her. The more I experienced motherhood, I realized that sometimes this was simple―after all, I was hardwired to respond to her cries and quickly came to know her better than anyone else ever could―but sometimes it came with mountains of self-doubt.

This was especially true when it came to feeding. Originally, I told myself we would breastfeed―exclusively. I had built up the idea in my mind that this was the correct way of feeding my child, and that anything else was somehow cheating. Plus, I love the connection it brought us, and so many of my favorite early memories are just my baby and me (at all hours of night), as close as two people can be as I fed her from my breast.

Over time, though, something started to shift. I realized I felt trapped by my daughter's feeding schedule. I felt isolated in the fact that she needed me―only me―and that I couldn't ask for help with this monumental task even if I truly needed it. While I was still so grateful that I was able to breastfeed without much difficulty, a growing part of me began fantasizing about the freedom and shared burden that would come if we bottle fed, even just on occasion.

I was unsure what to expect the first time we tried a bottle. I worried it would upset her stomach or cause uncomfortable gas. I worried she would reject the bottle entirely, meaning the freedom I hoped for would remain out of reach. But in just a few seconds, those worries disappeared as I watched her happily feed from the bottle.

What I really didn't expect? The guilt that came as I watched her do so. Was I robbing her of that original connection we'd had with breastfeeding? Was I setting her up for confusion if and when we did go back to nursing? Was I failing at something without even realizing it?

In discussing with my friends, I've learned this guilt is an all too common thing. But I've also learned there are so many reasons why it's time to let it go.

1) I'm letting go of guilt because...I shouldn't feel guilty about sharing the connection with my baby. It's true that now I'm no longer the only one who can feed and comfort her any time of day or night. But what that really means is that now the door is open for other people who love her (my partner, grandparents, older siblings) to take part in this incredible gift. The first time I watched my husband's eyes light up as he fed our baby, I knew that I had made the right choice.

2) I'm letting go of guilt because...the right bottle will prevent any discomfort. It took us a bit of trial and error to find the right bottle that worked for my baby, but once we did, we rarely dealt with gas or discomfort―and the convenience of being able to pack along a meal for my child meant she never had to wait to eat when she was hungry. Dr. Brown's became my partner in this process, offering a wide variety of bottles and nipples designed to mimic the flow of my own milk and reduce colic and excess spitting up. When we found the right one, it changed everything.

3) I'm letting go of guilt because...I've found my joy in motherhood again. That trapped feeling that had started to overwhelm me? It's completely gone. By removing the pressure on myself to feed my baby a certain way, I realized that it was possible to keep her nourished and healthy―while also letting myself thrive.

So now, sometimes we use the bottle. Sometimes we don't. But no matter how I keep my baby fed, I know we've found the right way―guilt free.

Beyoncé's new Netflix documentary Homecoming hit the streaming service today and gives us an honest look at how difficult her twin pregnancy was.

"My body went through more than I knew it could," she says in the film, revealing that her pregnancy with Sir and Rumi was a shock right from the beginning, and the surprises kept coming.

In the film she reveals that her second pregnancy was unexpected, "And it ended up being twins which was even more of a surprise," she explains.

Homecoming: A Film By Beyoncé | Official Trailer | Netflix

The pregnancy was rough. Beyoncé developed preeclampsia, a condition that impacts about 5 to 8% of pregnancies and results in high blood pressure and the presence of protein in the mother's urine. Preeclampsia poses risks to both the mother and the baby. People who are pregnant with multiples, like Beyoncé was, are more at risk to develop preeclampsia, and the only real cure for the condition is to give birth, which proved to be another medical challenge for Beyoncé.

"In the womb, one of my babies' hearts paused a few times so I had to get an emergency C-section," she shares in the film.

Thankfully, Beyoncé made it through her extremely difficult pregnancy, but the physical challenges didn't end there. The road to rehabilitation for the performer was difficult because, as she explains, she was trying to learn new choreography while her body was repairing cut muscles and her mind just wanted to be home with her children.

"There were days that I thought I'd never be the same. I'd never be the same physically, my strength and endurance would never be the same," Beyoncé recalls.

We know that becoming a mother changes us in so many ways, and in Homecoming, Beyoncé shows the world the strength that mothers possess, and rejects any ideas about "bouncing back."

Becoming a mother is hard, but it is so worth it, and Beyoncé isn't looking backward—she's looking at a mother in the mirror and loving who and what she sees. "I just feel like I'm just a new woman in a new chapter of my life and I'm not even trying to be who I was," Beyoncé said in the documentary. "It's so beautiful that children do that to you."

Being a perfectionist has naturally been part of who I was since as long as I can remember. I could blame living in the continental U.S., where perfectionism is highly esteemed, or the family dynamics that come with growing up in a household of five women.

Deep down, though, I think it all really stems from a deep and instinctual longing to be loved, accepted and approved. Whatever the reason, it has never really been a part of me that I considered a problem.

That is, until, I became a mom.

When I had my first child, I did the best I could to keep it all together, to prevent people from seeing how my perfection was being pulled apart at the seams.

A nap schedule was, of course, essential. My son was easygoing and slept through the night like an angel baby. My house was still spotless and I managed to somehow work part-time and keep healthy meals on the table every night, but I did struggle tremendously with breastfeeding.

Since I took this failure as a great assault at my abilities to properly nurture my child, I let mom guilt run rampant over the issue. I decided I would just step up my perfect-parenting game in another way by pumping breastmilk around the clock until my son was around 18 months old.

For anyone who has ever exclusively pumped, you know it can become total madness and take away the joy of feeding your child.

Managing a toddler was definitely wild, but with my background in pediatrics, I knew how to keep him busy while I kept things "under control." In other words, with just one child, I could still play the part of being perfect. All was fine until I became a mom of two children. It wasn't long after my daughter was born that I realized I needed to start letting go of perfection.

I was living alone in a new city with no help and my husband worked long hours. Managing a 2-year-old and a newborn, all while trying to keep a perfectly clean house and healthy dinners on the table every night, was, to my surprise, impossible in every way. My body was a wreck, not "bouncing back" as it did with my first. My daughter never slept for more than three hours until she was over a year old. She cried for hours on end most nights, as I tried relentlessly to calm her.

I remember bouncing her in her carrier for hours trying to get her to calm down and settle in for sleep. Meanwhile, I was a zombie and my son tore every square inch of the house into pieces. Keeping a naptime schedule was nearly impossible with another child to consider. Dinner was often takeout. There were days when I didn't look in the mirror or have proper clothing on until 5 pm.

The demands of motherhood laughed at my idea of picture-perfect motherhood. Every night I went to bed feeling like I had failed my children. I cried. Oh man, did I cry.

It wasn't long until I came to the realization that if I wanted to be a good mom, that is, to focus on things that are actually important, I had to stop sweating all the small stuff.

Even though I didn't really know how I was relieved that I didn't have to keep up with myself anymore. I had grown so weary of the high standards I had set for myself and those around me. I wanted a way out of the perfectionist trap and to loosen the reigns.

I realized that the most beautiful encounters with my children had been when I decided to say, "Oh, don't worry about it!" (i.e. the house, dinner, naptime schedules, etc). Love and joyful encounters with my children was incomparable to the latter. I knew my children needed me to look at them and not the 3-day- old stain on the dining room floor. The beauty in the moments, when I intentionally chose stillness and gratitude over productivity, was the reason I decided it was time to lay down a life-long pattern of perfectionism and control.

The problem was, I didn't really know where to start. I had been living this way for more than three decades. But I did know that I needed to start somewhere. So I started practicing being imperfect. Just like I had been teaching my 4-year old son. "The only way to get better at something is by practicing," I would tell him.

So, I did. And so I still am, practicing being imperfect.

Phil&Teds Vibe Double Buggy Review

Review Star Review Star Review Star Review Star Half Review Star
Buy from Kiddicare
Mother&Baby Awards
  • 2015 Gold Best Multiple, Twin or Tandem Pushchair
Mother & Baby 2015 Gold Award Winner

Phil&Teds Vibe is a great double buggy – it’s a nice size, with a movable handle and good basket space. The chairs are roomy and both the front and back seats recline. Although the buggy is quite bulky, it is also lightweight (with an aluminium frame and three air-filled wheels) and easy to push on all types of terrain. Some users feel that the front bar on the buggy is too high, and the The Vibe does come with a hefty price tag – as one might expect from a product that boasts undeniable quality, convenience and longevity – but it is good value for money, remembering, of course, that it is a tandem buggy.

Garmin Edge 520 Review – Best Bike Bundle Computer

Most modern cyclists will be familiar with bike computers. These devices can turn a casual ride into a tech-fuelled analysis of the rider’s ability and health. But with so many on the market, it can be hard to narrow it down to one multitasking device.

The Garmin Edge 520 Bike Bundle Computer is an upgrade from the brand’s previous 510 model, so what makes it different to its predecessor? Our Garmin Edge 520 review will give you the scoop on what’s been added to the device and whether existing users of the 510 should be considering an upgrade.

Garmin Edge 520 Review with Detail Features

The Garmin Edge 520 is available as a single unit, but if you’re looking for great value and a wealth of helpful add-ons, it’s worth taking a look at the bundle.
The bike bundle includes the device, a heart rate monitor, speed and cadence sensors, standard and extended mounts, a tether, a USB cable and all relevant manuals.
Additional hardware – such as the sensors, can be sturdily fastened to the bike for practicality and ease – no more loose parts during rides!

New Features

If you like your gadgets to have an array of bells and whistles, the 520 is for you. Cyclists will be impressed by the updated user interface and new, innovative features.
The system includes GPS and GLONASS satellite chips, multiple sensors, a barometric altimeter, power monitoring, map functionality, LiveTrack and smartphone connectivity.
The only downside to these features is the reduced battery life compared to the 510, however it still boasts over 15 hours usage per charge.

Staying Connected

Most athletes are unopposed to a little friendly competition. Using the Garmin Connect Mobile app, the Edge 520 can share directly to social media so cyclists can compare with their friends.
This feature also provides live tracking, weather updates and automatic uploads to the online Garmin Connect community.
Cyclists can also use live Strava segments to meet challenges throughout their ride and share their results online. By doing so, you’ll be able to keep track of your progress and watch your stats as they rise.

Keeping Fit

The Edge 520 also provides fitness buffs with handy tools for keeping on top of their routines. The device will take into account the user’s HR variation, profile and power output to create a VO2 assessment. VO2 max is the volume of oxygen that can be absorbed by the user’s body. This information can be used to create fitness plans that are custom built for the body’s capability.

Design can play a vital role when choosing a new bike computer. Size, durability and looks are all points worth considering. The 520 nests within simple, sleek black housing, making it an ideal match for any bike or style. The weight and shape of the device make it durable, especially combined with Garmin’s upgraded clips.
As for size, it’s small enough that it won’t become a hindrance on your handlebars. Yet the screen is large enough to be acknowledged during a ride.

>>> Click Here To See Specifications, Customer Reviews & Rating <<<

  • Track distance, speed, time and fitness using built-in features.
  • Excellent value when considering the Garmin Edge 520 Bike Bundle Computer add-ons.
  • Full colour display and upgraded user interface.
  • Smartphone connectivity.

  • If you’re looking for a navigation device, the Base maps are unlikely to suit your needs.
  • The Garmin 520 does not feature a touchscreen – although this could be a pro to some users!

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs)

Q: How long does the battery last on the Garmin 520?
A: The battery will last approximately 15+ hours, so there’s no need to worry about charging it during your ride.

Q: Does the device have a map feature?
A: Yes – the Garmin 520 comes with its own Base map. Users may also add their own to the system.

Q: Is the screen customisable?
A: Users can select one data field at a time, allowing them a clear view of the information they need, without having to take their eyes off what’s ahead.

Final Verdict

To sum up our Garmin Edge 520 review, it’s clear the device has its merits. However, if you already own the Garmin 510 model, it may not be worth the expensive of an upgrade just yet. For those who don’t yet own a bike computer and are in the market for one of the latest, the Edge 520 is a great, versatile choice.

While it may not be the most affordable on the market, the device comes with a vast range of extras as standard that can make a real difference to the rider’s experience.

It is expensive as we tend to buy them more gourmet things at this time of year we wouldn’t necessarily buy usually. Try putting your spare change at the end of the week in a jar through the year and use this to help with food costs at the end of the year. or you could buy a gift card every week with your shopping and then use them at the end of the year. This way there is no temptation to take any money back out of the jar through the year!

How Aquaguard RO Customer Care Providing Next Level Customer Service?

Any living being surviving on earth requires food, air and water for its basic survival. Water has been an integral part of living since the inception of life on earth. The quality of the drinking water has to be the best to avoid any deadly water-borne diseases and lead a healthy life. Aquaguard Customer Care brings to you the solution for your water woes in every possible way.

In early times people would not care much about the quality of the water they are drinking as the pollution level at that time was not as high as in recent times. They could easily drink water from any of the nearby water bodies and lead a healthy life without getting affected at all. But this is passé, we cannot even think of doing so and the thought of getting affected with water-borne diseases will never allow the courage to do so as well.

With the rise of demand of RO water purifiers in every household, the market is also flooded with numerous water purifiers claiming to be the best in filtering water. One tends to get confused and cannot decide which RO purifier would be best for him.

Stitchgasm – The Earth and Its Layers by Jessica Kelly

It's another stitchgasm from Mr X Stitch!

OK, so I simply can NOT wait to sing the praises of this wonderful piece by Jessica Kelly (a.k.a. PaperStitch).

The Earth and Its Layers: open

Her inspiration came from the World Book Encyclopedias of her childhood. Like her, I vividly remember the “interactive” graphics in those tomes, with their layers of acetate transparencies piled over richly printed science illustrations. (I remember one of the night sky in particular. It was magical!) Before the clickable immediacy of researching anything you could want to know about on the internet and being able to instantly see objects from every possible angle, this is how we played with learning.

The Earth and Its Layers: closed

Jessica is hugely talented. She managed to translate those retro transparencies into stitch by replacing the acetate with velum. She rendered the Earth’s core in gorgeous stitching on fabric underneath.

The Earth and Its Layers: layer 1

Yay! Be sure to check out more of Jessica’s work on her flickr stream and read about this piece on her blog. She does particularly lovely art with vintage math books and geometric imagery.

The Earth and Its Layers: layer 2

Olisa Corcoran is a stitch artist and blogger living in Durham, NC. She speaks fluent Nuyorican and always keeps her dial turned to 11.

#Showbiz: 'Malaysia reminds me of home' - American singer-songwriter Jason Derulo

New Straits Times logo New Straits Times 7/15/2018 SYAHIRAH MOKHTAZAR

K Jason Derulo talking on a cell phone: “Malaysia reminds me of home because of its weather. Pix by NURUL SHAFINA JEMENON © Provided by Media Prima “Malaysia reminds me of home because of its weather. Pix by NURUL SHAFINA JEMENON UALA LUMPUR: Being a pop superstar, Jason Derulo has jet-set his way to various countries in the world, but if there’s one place that reminds him of his hometown Miami, it’s Malaysia.

“Malaysia reminds me of home because of its weather. It’s hot and humid, and Miami is exactly like that. So it almost feels just like at home when I’m here,” said the 28-year-old to the New Straits Times when met at the St. Regis Kuala Lumpur here earlier today.

The Wiggle singer is currently in town to ink an MoU (memorandum of understanding) between him and Global Crypto Offering Exchange (GCOX), a company that helps celebrities cryptonise their popularity by creating their own exclusive crypto.

Derulo is the third celebrity to join the platform, following two other sporting names such as Liverpool and Real Madrid football legend Michael Owen, as well as Filipino boxer and senator Manny Pacquiao.

This also marks Derulo’s second visit onto our shores, having previously performed here at the MTV World Stage in Sunway Lagoon in 2015.

Will the superstar return for another concert? “Well, I’m going to kick off my tour in September, so hopefully we can do an Asian run and come to Malaysia towards the end of the first leg of the tour,” he said.

“It’s always amazing to come to a place where I’ve been very well recevied so I’m grateful for the support throughout the years,” he said.

For Real – Music Review

forrealYou can listen to the songs here, and better still, join the mailing list to get free mp3s. 🙂
Zakir Hussain has been very choosy about the films that he has composed music for. So far he has given music to three films and the fourth one is “For Real“. A cross-over film directed by Sona Jain. The movie is about a a little girl and her adventures. Here is the trailer.
An interesting thing about this soundtrack is that it doesn’t contain any tabla beats. Hussain saheb’s decision to relinquish his favorite instrument must have been driven by the demands of the movie. But it still puzzles me why he had to do so, as the movie is also set in India. May be, I will have to watch the movie to find the answer for this question.
The predominant theme is that of the album is that of smooth jazz, with sax and bass guitar used in abundance. Again I find it suprising that there are no world music elements in the soundtrack. But then, one can always argue why a cross-over film should always have a cross-over elements in it’s musical department. The song “Plastic Doll” does have some kind of South Indian beats in the middle and that’s about it, so much for all those who wanted to hear Tabla in this OST 🙂
Zakir Hussain himself said, in a recent interview, that working in films is a task. I believe what he was probably hinting at the restrictions the a film’s OST imposes on the composing skills of a musician.
Even though beautifully executed and probably fitting neatly into the larger scheme of the film (I need to watch the film first to be sure of that), this album is strictly for the fans of Zakir Hussain.
Music Aloud Rating: I don’t consider myself fit enough to be rating a Zakir Hussain album!
Recommended Tracks:  Puppeteer (Instrumental), Plastic Doll (Instrumental)
Zakir Hussain recently performed with Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyar at NPR Tiny Desk Concerts. Here is the link where you can watch the video and even download the mp3.

On the radar: We Are Harlot

The nexus of We Are Harlot was formed (appropriately given their 'epicentre of the party' sound) on New Year's Eve 2010, when frontman Danny Worsnop (then with Asking Alexandria) met guitarist Jeff George through a mutual acquaintance.

"You know what it's like when you get into the 3,000 drink range: you start crazy talking," laughs Jeff. "You say, 'Yeah, man! We should jam!' Well, we did - and two days later we moved in together!"

"There were a lot of people who didn't want We Are Harlot to happen"

It fits that a man who's worshipped Ace Frehley since the age of three and shredded for the likes of Sebastian Bach, would share a musical ideology with Mr Worsnop. But while the friendship might have been easy, the semantics of getting the band up and running were not.

"There were a lot of people who didn't want it to happen," reveals Jeff. "There were a lot of other labels and interests... So this band is testament to the fact that if you believe in something, it'll come to fruition."

Sleaze rock projectiles

Now, after numerous roadblocks, their eponymous debut album has finally hit the shelves - and it's a machine-gunned collection of metal-skewed sleaze rock projectiles. "If you listen to Aerosmith and KISS and Van Halen, they all sounded so different.

"You heard those dudes, their personalities, in those songs," enthuses Jeff. "That was one thing that came out of us. You can't run from your influences and we're definitely not reinventing the wheel, but we're helping move it forward."

Jeff's gear - centred around a modern update of a classic, with ESP's Strat-derived Vintage Plus - demonstrates this attitude. "I have a Jeff George Custom model, soon to be signature model, and a blue Tele-style guitar that I use," he says. "Then 90 per cent of the sounds are my guitars into a Maxon OD808 and a Marshall JCM800, Silver Jubilee, or my [legendary LA amp tech] Jose Arredondo-modded Marshall."

So, what are the pluses and minuses of playing with your roommate, particularly when he happens to be Danny Worsnop? "Well, there's nothing better than playing the music you love with your friends," confirms Jeff. "The worst thing is that Danny's a hellfire, man. He shaves years off my life, daily! That and his snoring. You think that voice is boisterous, wait until you hear him snoring..."

We really hopes it doesn't come to that.

NAMM 2019: PRS unveils first wave of 2019 electric and acoustic guitars

NAMM 2019: PRS has got in early with its product announcements for next year, unveiling a host of new electric and acoustic guitars in what is likely to be the first wave of several in the run-up to the show.

New electrics include a revamped Paul Reed Smith signature model (aka Paul’s Guitar), the CE 24 Semi-Hollow and a Ziricote-finished SE Custom 24, while fresh SE acoustics are also in the offing.

Scroll on down for the lowdown from PRS, and pop on over to PRS Guitars for more info. We'll update this article with prices as soon as we get 'em.

Paul’s Guitar - the Paul Reed Smith signature model

Historically, the Paul’s Guitar (like the Modern Eagle before it) has been a realization of Paul Reed Smith’s latest discoveries surrounding tone. This revamped model represents Paul’s vision not only as a guitar maker but as a guitar player who needs versatile stage- and studio-ready gear that can achieve all the right tones.

As a man who has every option available to him, Paul’s personal design choices include mahogany bodies with maple tops, Honduran rosewood fretboards, Nitrocellulose finishes, “Brushstroke” bird inlays, and narrow pickup bobbins.

The Paul’s Guitar model also includes PRS’s TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) treble and bass pickups with two mini-toggle switches that allow players to put either or both pickups in either humbucking or true single coil mode.

“I don’t just like the newest version of my guitar, I love it. With these new pickups, I can move from a strong bridge pickup to a very clear, “whoopy” neck pickup – you can hear every note – by just setting the mini-toggles and using the 3-way as normal. It’s a highly musical and very usable setup,” said Paul Reed Smith.

“This guitar has clear, spanky single coils when you split the pickups but a very full soapbar quality when they are in humbucking mode. It’s just beautiful.”

CE 24 Semi-Hollow

The original CE was introduced in 1988, offering players traditional PRS design and features with a bolt-on neck. A favorite throughout PRS history, the CE 24 was reintroduced in 2016 and is now expanding to include a semi-hollow model.

“The CE 24 Semi-Hollow combines the snap and sustain of our maple neck bolt-on guitars but adds an airy resonance of a semi-hollow body creating a voice all its own. Every dealer who has come through the shop and checked out the prototypes has enjoyed the guitar. We think it is a fairly unique addition to our bolt-on lineup,” said Jim Cullen, PRS Director of Sales.

SE Custom 24 Ziricote

Last year, PRS decked out its classic SE Custom 24 model with a selection of unique veneers. For 2019, PRS will be offering their most popular SE in both zebrawood and ziricote veneers for players who want a more exotic look for this classic model.

PRS SE Acoustics

On the acoustic side, PRS Guitars has expanded its assortment of SE Angelus and Tonare Grand models with both new wood combinations and new colors.

The SE A55E and T55E continue to bring PRS’s Private Stock aesthetic to the SE Series with quilted maple back and sides offered in two colors: classic Black Gold Burst or striking Abaco Green.

The SE A60E and T60E also bring arresting aesthetics to the assortment, with ziricote back and sides, curly maple binding and heel cap, and abalone purfling and rosette details.

Both the 55 and 60 series acoustics feature solid spruce tops PRS’s hybrid classical/X bracing, bone nuts and saddles, and the Fishman GT-1 pickup system.

Rounding out the acoustic additions are burst options for the 40 and 50 series guitars.
