50 lithographs of the Barcelona series of 1944.

After he set up a studio in Mallorca in 1956, he came to work with artisans, often staying at the Hotel Coló* opposite the cathedral. Its cafe on the square is awash with yellow umbrellas.

At the Hotel Majestic on Passeig de Gracia, Miró would gaze from the bar at a melancholy landscape by Modesto Urgell i Inglada, his tutor at La Llotja. Today the painting, with the horizon that obsessed Miró, hangs to the left of the entrance lobby. Nearby, at Consell de Cent 335, look for a ceramic mural (signed in the left corner) on the first-floor balcony, advertising the Orotava restaurant – since displaced by a pizza takeaway.

Better known are Miro's 1970 mural at Barcelona airport and the 22m-highsculpture in the Parc Miró, Woman and Bird – a 1982 homage to Antoni Gaudí's mosaics. Shortly before Miró died, a bronze woman was unveiled in the gothic interior of City Hall (open Sundays 10am-1.30pm).

As skillful at corporate logos as political posters, Miró also left an image on every street – in the bright-blue starfish of La Caixa bank.

His gothic family vault in Montjuïc cemetery faces out to sea over the container port. It's 20 minutes' walk uphill from the entrance, meandering past Art Nouveau angels and tombs stacked like blocks of flats – or you can always drive there. My taxi driver, scouring the terraces at sunset, asked solicitously if this Juan Miró was a relative of mine.

"So Zeke just nods like the dumb shit he is and hands the keys to his bike over to Javier!" "But wait!" "That's not even the best part." "'Cause then Javier makes Zeke drive over to his house, get the title tofrom across HSI San Francisco's AOR have dedicated themselves to protecting children and rooting out predators for decades. In fiscal year 2019, HSI agents working child exploitation related cases effected more than 115 criminal arrests, an increase of nearly seven percent from fiscal year 2018 and reflecting HSI's firm commitment to ending these heinous crimes against children, wherever they occur. Many of these investigations and arrests were supported by HSI's criminal analysts in collaboration with local law enforcement partners as part of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces in the region.

One multi-faceted HSI San Francisco case involved working with transnational partners to bring a child predator to justice. Agents initiated an investigation into Freddy J. Horna, of Antioch, California, who was requesting a female in Peru to


send him sexually explicit images of a minor via social media. Agents arrested Horna and coordinated with HSI agents in Columbia to rescue the minor in Peru. In October 2019, Horna was sentenced to 102 months for distribution of child pornography.

During this same period of time, HSI agents continued their investigations into gang activity in the Northern California area making more than 240 arrests. In one of many multi-agency criminal investigations, HSI agents in Fresno County area continued to pursue gang activity related to a 2018 case in which 25 MS-13 gang members participated in a drug trafficking conspiracy in both Fresno County and Los Angeles. Current charges include kidnapping and murder in aid of racketeering. These defendants allegedly obtained, sold, and profited from street‑level drug dealing, andused the proceeds to further MS-13's criminal objectives.

HSI San Francisco agents also focused their efforts to combat human trafficking in the area. One particularly egregious HSI human trafficking case involved a Hayward, California man. Job Torres Hernandez was sentenced in June to 103 months in prison and was also ordered to pay $919,738.64 of unpaid wages in restitution, after being convicted earlier in 2019 on charges that he obtained forced labor from victims and harbored illegal aliens for commercial advantage or private financial gain.

During the 10-day jury trial, victims of Hernandez testified to being kept in squalid conditions and shielded from detection while having to work as long as 24 consecutive hours at a time. Witnesses testified that Torres paid them far less than what he had promised


to pay them, and when they complained, Torres threatened them or their family members.

"Our victim-centric approach has led to hundreds of successful criminal arrests praying on our most vulnerable community members," said King. "The mission can be daunting, but HSI San Francisco agents have risen to the challenge as they investigate criminal activity daily and collaborate with local law enforcement partners to bring these criminals to justice."

As the largest investigative agency within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), HSI investigates and enforces more than 400 federal criminal statutes – more than any other U.S. law enforcement agency. HSI special agents use this authority to investigate cross-border criminal activity – including drug trafficking – and work in close coordination with local state and federal law enforcement agencies totarget transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) that are bringing dangerous substances, such as illicit fentanyl and methamphetamine, into the community.

In fiscal year 2019, more than 10,000 pounds of various types of illegal narcotics were seized by HSI, in partnership with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and other local, state and federal partners under the Northern California and Central Valley High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area and the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces.

HSI agents, with support from a cadre of professional staff, in the San Francisco office are responsible for Northern California, including San Francisco Bay Area and the Central Valley, and represented by eight HSI offices. Their area of responsibility extends north to the Oregon border, east to


injections of hormones and steroids to hide a devastating secret. Twenty years earlier, when he was a kid, he was assaulted by a brute named Bruno Scheper, who smashed his genitals with a brick. Jacky has spent his life trying to look and act masculine, overdoing the testosterone to grow a beard, expand his chest and get a deep voice and ripped muscles as a masquerade. Meanwhile, his family has held a grudge against the Scheper family, not only for what they did to destroy Jacky’s manhood, but for their mob connections, which have struck fear in everyone who opposes them. Jacky’s best friend, Diederik, was the only witness, but his father forbade him to tell the cops the truth. It all went down in the books asan accident. But Jacky has been waiting all these years for revenge and redemption, and the dirty-meat double-cross is fate surfacing at last. Now he has a chance to put the Schepers away, at the same time reconnecting with Lucia Scheper, an old flame who is the sister of the notorious Bruno, with his old friend Diederik, who is a homosexual informer in love with one of the cops he’s working for, and with Bruno himself, who is now a mental patient.

Lineage: tom flowers & Family exhibition

Being able to interact with a family where art has survived generation after generation was very special, especially since art is the reason the Flowers family is so close. The first piece that drew me in the exhibit was the large totem pole in the center. After spending time in New Zealand, I’ve learned about the highly thought out symbolism behind totem poles and that each section represents something specific, relating to theBenjamin Franklin Grouard

Benjamin Franklin Grouard (1819–1894) was one of the earliest Latter Day Saint missionaries to the Society Islands, which now constitute French Polynesia.

Grouard was born in Rockingham County, New Hampshire.  He joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and in 1843 was called to go with Addison Pratt, Noah Rogers and Knowlton Hanks, with the plan to preach the gospel in Hawaii.  On the trip aboard a whaling ship, Hanks died.  Due to ship sailing schedules they were only able to reach the Society Islands.  They had many converts there and Grouard married a native woman.  When the other missionaries left Grouard stayed.

After Pratt returned he reconnected with Grouard.  In 1852, Grouard and his family returned to the


On April 1, 1989, Seattle's KING-TV reports that the Space Needle has collapsed. It is, of course, a prank, courtesy of the comedy show Almost Live! But the prank goes awry when many fall for it, in something akin to a War of the Worlds redux.

"The Space Needle Collapsed"

Almost Live! was an award-winning Seattle-based television comedy show that aired on KING-TV (Channel 5) from 1984 to 1999, featuring notable local comedians such as Pat Cashman (b. 1950), Tracey Conway (b. 1956), Nancy Guppy, John Keister (b. 1956), and others. In the spring of 1989 the show normally aired on Sunday evenings, but on April Fools' Day that year, it switched to a Saturday night slot.

It was a gray, dreary Saturday evening in Seattle, chilly, breezy, and damp, aboutwhat you'd expect to find on the first day of April. At 7 p.m., as dusk fell outside, the show went on the air. About 10 seconds into the introduction, a somber-looking announcer (hired especially for the prank) broke in with a "special report" and announced "Good evening. Approximately seven minutes ago, at 6:53 p.m., the Space Needle collapsed" ("An April Fools' Joke ..."). Two "photos," created by the show's art department, appeared on-screen of the Space Needle apparently collapsed in large pieces on the ground and on nearby buildings. Along the top of the screen, in all capital letters, appeared "Space Needle -- April 1, 1989" with a second capitalized caption below: "April Fools Day" ("An April Fools' Joke ...").

All around Seattle and Western Washington, people stopped


and stared at their television screens. After a second or two, most of them got it. But not everyone. Meanwhile, the announcer remained deadpan: "Information at this point is incomplete. We do know that injuries are minimal. Fortunately, the Needle was nearly empty when the accident occurred" ("An April Fools' Joke ..."). The skit included one of the show's regulars, Tracey Conway, playing the role of a shocked eyewitness who recounted, "I heard this sound. It was like thunder and I looked up and it was swaying. And it went over. It was like somebody just kicked the bottom out from under it" ("An April Fools' Joke ..."). The announcer discussed speculation about the cause of the collapse, and the show returned to the intro; next, here camegot out that it was a prank gone awry. KING-TV got so much heat that it had to issue an apology the next day. Craig Smith, a program director for the station, said, "It was an unfortunate combination of real subtle humor and the fact that it aired Saturday rather than its normal time period on Sunday ... The [on-screen] disclaimer obviously was not sufficient" ("KING-TV on Space Needle Hoax"). Ironically, both station management and some on the show were concerned before the broadcast that a few viewers might fall for it, which led to the disclaimer in the first place.

The heat kept coming. The police didn't appreciate the city's 911 lines being tied up by the prank. Local officials were displeased because the faux newscast suggested that


(loosely adapted from the H. G. Wells novel) reporting a Martian invasion of Earth, which caused a nationwide panic in 1938.

Eventually, however, the absurd humor of it all shone through. In fact, Keister was invited to ring in 1990 at the annual Space Needle New Year's celebration. Almost Live! continued its comedic capers through the 1990s, won more Northwest Regional Emmy awards, and made its mark on late-twentieth century Seattle history.WannaCry and Petya (NotPetya) cyber attacks, masquerading as ransomware, caused large-scale disruptions in Ukraine as well as to the U.K.’s National Health Service, pharmaceutical giant Merck, Maersk shipping company and other organizations around the world.[47][48][49] These attacks are also categorized as cybercrimes, specifically financial crime because they negatively affects a company or group.

In the U.S., General Keith B. Alexander, first head of USCYBERCOM, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that computer network warfare is evolving so rapidly that there is a "mismatch between our technical capabilities to conduct operations and the governing laws and policies. Cyber Command is the newest global combatant and its sole mission is cyberspace, outside the traditional battlefields of land, sea, air and space." It will attempt to find and, when necessary, neutralize cyberattacks


and to defend military computer networks.[50]

Alexander sketched out the broad battlefield envisioned for the computer warfare command, listing the kind of targets that his new headquarters could be ordered to attack, including "traditional battlefield prizes – command-and-control systems at military headquarters, air defense networks and weapons systems that require computers to operate."[50]

The distributed nature of internet based attacks means that it is difficult to determine motivation and attacking party, meaning that it is unclear when a specific act should be considered an act of war.[55]

Examples of cyberwarfare driven by political motivations can be found worldwide. In 2008, Russia began a cyber attack on the Georgian government website, which was carried out along with Georgian military operations in South Ossetia. In 2008, Chinese 'nationalist hackers' attacked CNN as itreported on Chinese repression on Tibet.[56]

Jobs in cyberwarfare have become increasingly popular in the military. All four branches of the United States military actively recruit for cyber warfare positions.[57]

Potential targets in internet sabotage include all aspects of the Internet from the backbones of the web, to the internet service providers, to the varying types of data communication mediums and network equipment. This would include: web servers, enterprise information systems, client server systems, communication links, network equipment, and the desktops and laptops in businesses and homes. Electrical grids, financial networks, and telecommunication systems are also deemed vulnerable, especially due to current trends in computerization and automation.[58]

Politically motivated hacktivism involves the subversive use of computers and computer networks to promote an agenda, and can potentially extend to attacks, theft and


to 2008 was involved in a number of high-profile cases of espionage, primarily through the use of a "decentralized network of students, business people, scientists, diplomats, and engineers from within the Chinese Diaspora".[70] A defector in Belgium, purportedly an agent, claimed that there were hundreds of spies in industries throughout Europe, and on his defection to Australia Chinese diplomat Chen Yonglin said there were over 1,000 such in that country. In 2007, a Russian executive was sentenced to 11 years for passing information about the rocket and space technology organization to China. Targets in the United States have included 'aerospace engineering programs, space shuttle design, C4ISR data, high-performance computers, Nuclear weapon design, cruise missile data, semiconductors, integrated circuit design, and details of US arms sales to Taiwan'.[70]

While Chinacontinues to be held responsible for a string of cyber-attacks on a number of public and private institutions in the United States, India, Russia, Canada, and France, the Chinese government denies any involvement in cyber-spying campaigns. The administration maintains the position that China is not the threat but rather the victim of an increasing number of cyber-attacks. Most reports about China's cyber warfare capabilities have yet to be confirmed by the Chinese government.[71]

According to Fritz, China has expanded its cyber capabilities and military technology by acquiring foreign military technology.[72] Fritz states that the Chinese government uses "new space-based surveillance and intelligence gathering systems, Anti-satellite weapon, anti-radar, infrared decoys, and false target generators" to assist in this quest, and that they support their "informationization" of their military through "increased


education of soldiers in cyber warfare; improving the information network for military training, and has built more virtual laboratories, digital libraries and digital campuses."[72] Through this informationization, they hope to prepare their forces to engage in a different kind of warfare, against technically capable adversaries.[73] Many recent news reports link China's technological capabilities to the beginning of a new 'cyber cold war.'[74]

In response to reports of cyberattacks by China against the United States, Amitai Etzioni of the Institute for Communitarian Policy Studies has suggested that China and the United States agree to a policy of mutually assured restraint with respect to cyberspace. This would involve allowing both states to take the measures they deem necessary for their self-defense while simultaneously agreeing to refrain from taking offensive steps; itwould also entail vetting these commitments.[75]

Operation Shady RAT is an ongoing series of cyber attacks starting mid-2006, reported by Internet security company McAfee in August 2011. China is widely believed to be the state actor behind these attacks which hit at least 72 organizations including governments and defense contractors.[76]

The Executive Director of the Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) stated in February 2013 that his company alone was forced to block up to ten targeted attacks a day. CERT-In was left to protect less critical sectors.

In February 2013, Information Technology Secretary J. Satyanarayana stated that the NCIIPC[page needed] was finalizing policies related to national cyber security that would focus on domestic security solutions, reducing exposure through foreign technology.[77] Other steps include the isolation of various security agencies to


ensure that a synchronised attack could not succeed on all fronts and the planned appointment of a National Cyber Security Coordinator. As of that month, there had been no significant economic or physical damage to India related to cyber attacks.

On 26 November 2010, a group calling itself the Indian Cyber Army hacked the websites belonging to the Pakistan Army and the others belong to different ministries, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Finance, Pakistan Computer Bureau, Council of Islamic Ideology, etc. The attack was done as a revenge for the Mumbai terrorist attacks.[79]

In July 2016, Cymmetria researchers discovered and revealed the cyber attack dubbed 'Patchwork', which compromised an estimated 2500 corporate and government agencies using code stolen from GitHub and the dark web.the South China Sea legal case.[83]

When Russia was still a part of the Soviet Union in 1982, a portion of its Trans-Siberia pipeline within its territory exploded[citation needed], allegedly due to computer malware implanted in the pirated Canadian software by the Central Intelligence Agency. The malware caused the SCADA system running the pipeline to malfunction. The "Farewell Dossier" provided information on this attack, and wrote that compromised computer chips would become a part of Soviet military equipment, flawed turbines would be placed in the gas pipeline, and defective plans would disrupt the output of chemical plants and a tractor factor. This caused the "most monumental nonnuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space." However, the Soviet Union did not blame the United States for the attack.[84]

In July 2009,


there were a series of coordinated denial of service attacks against major government, news media, and financial websites in South Korea and the United States.[89] While many thought the attack was directed by North Korea, one researcher traced the attacks to the United Kingdom.[90] Security researcher Chris Kubecka presented evidence multiple European Union and United Kingdom companies unwittingly helped attack South Korea due to a W32.Dozer infections, malware used in part of the attack. Some of the companies used in the attack were partially owned by several governments, further complicating attribution.[91]

Visualization of 2009 cyber warfare attacks against South Korea

In July 2011, the South Korean company SK Communications was hacked, resulting in the theft of the personal details (including names, phone numbers, home and email addresses and resident registrationnumbers) of up to 35 million people. A trojaned software update was used to gain access to the SK Communications network. Links exist between this hack and other malicious activity and it is believed to be part of a broader, concerted hacking effort.[92]

With ongoing tensions on the Korean Peninsula, South Korea's defense ministry stated that South Korea was going to improve cyber-defense strategies in hopes of preparing itself from possible cyber attacks. In March 2013, South Korea's major banks – Shinhan Bank, Woori Bank and NongHyup Bank – as well as many broadcasting stations – KBS, YTN and MBC – were hacked and more than 30,000 computers were affected; it is one of the biggest attacks South Korea has faced in years.[93] Although it remains uncertain as to


who was involved in this incident, there has been immediate assertions that North Korea is connected, as it threatened to attack South Korea's government institutions, major national banks and traditional newspapers numerous times – in reaction to the sanctions it received from nuclear testing and to the continuation of Foal Eagle, South Korea's annual joint military exercise with the United States. North Korea's cyber warfare capabilities raise the alarm for South Korea, as North Korea is increasing its manpower through military academies specializing in hacking. Current figures state that South Korea only has 400 units of specialized personnel, while North Korea has more than 3,000 highly trained hackers; this portrays a huge gap in cyber warfare capabilities and sends a message to South Korea that it has tostep up and strengthen its Cyber Warfare Command forces. Therefore, in order to be prepared from future attacks, South Korea and the United States will discuss further about deterrence plans at the Security Consultative Meeting (SCM). At SCM, they plan on developing strategies that focuses on accelerating the deployment of ballistic missiles as well as fostering its defense shield program, known as the Korean Air and Missile Defense.[94]

In April 2007, Estonia came under cyber attack in the wake of relocation of the Bronze Soldier of Tallinn.[95] The largest part of the attacks were coming from Russia and from official servers of the authorities of Russia.[96] In the attack, ministries, banks, and media were targeted.[97][98] This attack on Estonia, a seemingly small Baltic nation, was so effective because of


how most of the nation is run online. Estonia has implemented an e-government, where bank services, political elections and taxes are all done online. This attack really hurt Estonia's economy and the people of Estonia. At least 150 people were injured on the first day due to riots in the streets.[99]

In 2013, the French Minister of Defense, Mr Jean-Yves Le Drian, ordered the creation of a cyberarmy, representing its 4th national army corp[100] (along with ground, naval and air forces) under the French Ministry of Defense, to protect French and European interests on its soil and abroad.[101] A contract was made with French firm EADS (Airbus) to identify and secure its main elements susceptible to cyber threats.[102]
In 2016 France had thus built the largest cyberarmy in Europe, witha planned 2600 "cyber-soldiers" and a 440 million euros investment for cybersecurity products for this new army corp.[103] An additional 4400 reservists constitute the heart of this army from 2019.[104]

In 2013, Germany revealed the existence of their 60-person Computer Network Operation unit.[105] The German intelligence agency, BND, announced it was seeking to hire 130 "hackers" for a new "cyber defence station" unit. In March 2013, BND president Gerhard Schindler announced that his agency had observed up to five attacks a day on government authorities, thought mainly to originate in China. He confirmed the attackers had so far only accessed data and expressed concern that the stolen information could be used as the basis of future sabotage attacks against arms manufacturers, telecommunications companies and government and military agencies.[106] Shortly


after Edward Snowden leaked details of the U.S. National Security Agency's cyber surveillance system, German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich announced that the BND would be given an additional budget of 100 million Euros to increase their cyber surveillance capability from 5% of total internet traffic in Germany to 20% of total traffic, the maximum amount allowed by German law.[107]

In the Netherlands, Cyber Defense is nationally coordinated by the National Cyber Security Centrum [nl] (NCSC).[108] The Dutch Ministry of Defense laid out a cyber strategy in 2011.[109] The first focus is to improve the cyber defense handled by the Joint IT branch (JIVC). To improve intel operations the intel community in the Netherlands (including the military intel organization MIVD) has set up the Joint Sigint Cyber Unit (JSCU). Thedirector of the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), said the UK faces a "real and credible" threat from cyber attacks by hostile states and criminals and government systems are targeted 1,000 times each month, such attacks threatened the UK's economic future, and some countries were already using cyber assaults to put pressure on other nations.[118]

On 12 November 2013, financial organisations in London conducted cyber war games dubbed 'Waking Shark 2'[119] to simulate massive internet-based attacks against bank and other financial organisations. The Waking Shark 2 cyber war games followed a similar exercise in Wall Street.[120]

Iran has been both victim and predator of several cyberwarfare operations. Iran is considered an emerging military power in the field.[121]

In September 2010, Iran was attacked by the Stuxnet worm, thought to specifically target its


Natanz nuclear enrichment facility. It was a 500-kilobyte computer worm that infected at least 14 industrial sites in Iran, including the Natanz uranium-enrichment plant. Although the official authors of Stuxnet haven’t been officially identified, Stuxnet is believed to be developed and deployed by the United States and Israel.[122] The worm is said to be the most advanced piece of malware ever discovered and significantly increases the profile of cyberwarfare.[123][124]

In the 2006 war against Hezbollah, Israel alleges that cyber-warfare was part of the conflict, where the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intelligence estimates several countries in the Middle East used Russian hackers and scientists to operate on their behalf. As a result, Israel attached growing importance to cyber-tactics, and became, along with the U.S., France and a couple of othercyber attacks from Iran. Security firms warned that Iranian hackers were sending emails containing malware to diplomats who work in the foreign affairs offices of US allies and employees at telecommunications companies, trying to infiltrate their computer systems.[128]

On August 15, 2012 at 11:08 am local time, the Shamoon virus began destroying over 35,000 computer systems, rendering them inoperable. The virus used to target the Saudi government by causing destruction to the state owned national oil company Saudi Aramco. The attackers posted a pastie on PasteBin.com hours prior to the wiper logic bomb occurring, citing oppression and the Al-Saud regime as a reason behind the attack.[129]

Pastie announcing attack against Saudi Aramco by a group called Cutting Sword of Justice

The attack was well staged according to Christina Kubecka, a former


called the attack a "Cyber Pearl Harbor"[132] Known years later as the "Biggest hack in history" and intended for cyber warfare.[133] Shamoon can spread from an infected machine to other computers on the network. Once a system is infected, the virus continues to compile a list of files from specific locations on the system, upload them to the attacker, and erase them. Finally the virus overwrites the master boot record of the infected computer, making it unusable.[134][135] The virus has been used for cyber warfare against the national oil companies Saudi Aramco and Qatar's RasGas.[136][137][134][138]

Saudi Aramco announced the attack on their Facebook page and went offline again until a company statement was issued on 25 August 2012. The statement falsely reported normal business was resumed on 25 August2012. However a Middle Eastern journalist leaked photographs taken on 1 September 2012 showing kilometers of petrol trucks unable to be loaded due to backed business systems still inoperable.

Tanker trucks unable to be loaded with gasoline due to Shamoon attacks

On August 29, 2012 the same attackers behind Shamoon posted another pastie on PasteBin.com, taunting Saudi Aramco with proof they still retained access to the company network. The post contained the username and password on security and network equipment and the new password for the CEO Khalid Al- Falih[139] The attackers also referenced a portion of the Shamoon malware as further proof in the pastie.

According to Kubecka, in order to restore operations. Saudi Aramco used its large private fleet of aircraft and available funds to purchase much of the


world's hard drives, driving the price up. New hard drives were required as quickly as possible so oil prices were not affected by speculation. By September 1, 2012 gasoline resources were dwindling for the public of Saudi Arabia 17 days after the August 15th attack. RasGas was also affected by a different variant, crippling them in a similar manner.[140]

In March 2018 American Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy filed a lawsuit against Qatar, alleging that Qatar's government stole and leaked his emails in order to discredit him because he was viewed "as an impediment to their plan to improve the country's standing in Washington."[141] In May 2018, the lawsuit named Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, brother of the Emir of Qatar, and his associate Ahmed Al-Rumaihi, as allegedlyKeith B. Alexander, director of the National Security Agency (NSA), to defend American military networks and attack other countries' systems. The EU has set up ENISA (European Union Agency for Network and Information Security) which is headed by Prof. Udo Helmbrecht and there are now further plans to significantly expand ENISA's capabilities. The United Kingdom has also set up a cyber-security and "operations centre" based in Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the British equivalent of the NSA. In the U.S. however, Cyber Command is only set up to protect the military, whereas the government and corporate infrastructures are primarily the responsibility respectively of the Department of Homeland Security and private companies.[148]

In February 2010, top American lawmakers warned that the "threat of a crippling attack on telecommunications and computer networks


was sharply on the rise."[149] According to The Lipman Report, numerous key sectors of the U.S. economy along with that of other nations, are currently at risk, including cyber threats to public and private facilities, banking and finance, transportation, manufacturing, medical, education and government, all of which are now dependent on computers for daily operations.[149] In 2009, president Obama stated that "cyber intruders have probed our electrical grids."[150]

The Economist writes that China has plans of "winning informationised wars by the mid-21st century". They note that other countries are likewise organizing for cyberwar, among them Russia, Israel and North Korea. Iran boasts of having the world's second-largest cyber-army.[148] James Gosler, a government cybersecurity specialist, worries that the U.S. has a severe shortage of computer security specialists, estimating that thereare only about 1,000 qualified people in the country today, but needs a force of 20,000 to 30,000 skilled experts.[151] At the July 2010 Black Hatcomputer security conference, Michael Hayden, former deputy director of national intelligence, challenged thousands of attendees to help devise ways to "reshape the Internet's security architecture", explaining, "You guys made the cyberworld look like the north German plain."[152]

In January 2012, Mike McConnell, the former director of national intelligence at the National Security Agency under president George W. Bush told the Reuters news agency that the U.S. has already launched attacks on computer networks in other countries.[153] McConnell did not name the country that the U.S. attacked but according to other sources it may have been Iran.[153] In June 2012 the New York Times reported


that president Obama had ordered the cyber attack on Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities.[154]

In August 2010, the U.S. for the first time warned publicly about the Chinese military's use of civilian computer experts in clandestine cyber attacks aimed at American companies and government agencies. The Pentagon also pointed to an alleged China-based computer spying network dubbed GhostNet that was revealed in a research report last year.[155] The Pentagon stated:

The People's Liberation Army is using "information warfare units" to develop viruses to attack enemy computer systems and networks, and those units include civilian computer professionals. Commander Bob Mehal, will monitor the PLA's buildup of its cyberwarfare capabilities and will continue to develop capabilities to counter any potential threat.[156]

Cyberspace technology is emerging as an "instrument of power" in societies, and istarget industry, academia, government, as well as the military in the air, land, maritime, and space domains. In much the same way that airpower transformed the battlefield of World War II, cyberspace has fractured the physical barriers that shield a nation from attacks on its commerce and communication. Indeed, adversaries have already taken advantage of computer networks and the power of information technology not only to plan and execute savage acts of terrorism, but also to influence directly the perceptions and will of the U.S. Government and the American population.

On 21 November 2011, it was widely reported in the U.S. media that a hacker had destroyed a water pump at the Curran-Gardner Township Public Water District in Illinois.[160] However, it later turned out that this information was not


only false, but had been inappropriately leaked from the Illinois Statewide Terrorism and Intelligence Center.[161]

According to the Foreign Policy magazine, NSA's Tailored Access Operations (TAO) unit "has successfully penetrated Chinese computer and telecommunications systems for almost 15 years, generating some of the best and most reliable intelligence information about what is going on inside the People's Republic of China."[162][163]

The United States has used cyberattacks for tactical advantage in Afghanistan.[175]

In 2014 Barack Obama ordered an intensification of cyberwarfare against North Korea's missile program for sabotaging test launches in their opening seconds.[176] In 2016 President Barack Obama authorized the planting of cyber weapons in Russian infrastructure in the final weeks of his presidency in response to Moscow's alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election.[177]

For a global perspective of countries andcyberwarfare. In this memorandum, three cybermissions are laid out. The first cybermission seeks to arm and maintain existing capabilities in the area of cyberspace, the second cybermission focuses on prevention of cyberwarfare, and the third cybermission includes strategies for retaliation and preemption (as distinguished from prevention).[20]

One of the hardest issues in cyber counterintelligence is the problem of attribution. Unlike conventional warfare, figuring out who is behind an attack can be very difficult.[202] However Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has claimed that the United States has the capability to trace attacks back to their sources and hold the attackers "accountable".[203]

In October 2011 the Journal of Strategic Studies, a leading journal in that field, published an article by Thomas Rid, "Cyber War Will Not Take Place" which argued that all politically


United States' approach focuses on physical and economic damage and injury, putting political concerns under freedom of speech. This difference of opinion has led to reluctance in the West to pursue global cyber arms control agreements.[220]
However, American General Keith B. Alexander did endorse talks with Russia over a proposal to limit military attacks in cyberspace.[221] In June 2013, Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin agreed to install a secure Cyberwar-Hotline providing "a direct secure voice communications line between the US cybersecurity coordinator and the Russian deputy secretary of the security council, should there be a need to directly manage a crisis situation arising from an ICT security incident" (White House quote).[222]

A Ukrainian professor of International Law, Alexander Merezhko, has developed a project called the International Convention on Prohibition ofCyberwar in Internet. According to this project, cyberwar is defined as the use of Internet and related technological means by one state against the political, economic, technological and information sovereignty and independence of another state. Professor Merezhko's project suggests that the Internet ought to remain free from warfare tactics and be treated as an international landmark. He states that the Internet (cyberspace) is a "common heritage of mankind".[223]

On the February 2017 RSA ConferenceMicrosoft president Brad Smith suggested global rules – a "Digital Geneva Convention" – for cyber attacks that "ban the nation-state hacking of all the civilian aspects of our economic and political infrastructures". He also stated that an independent organization could investigate and publicly disclose evidence that attributes nation-state attacks to specific countries. Furthermore, he said that

Sweden's armed forces were recently exposed to an extensive cyber attack that prompted them to shut down an IT system used in military exercises, daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported on Wednesday. The attack that affected the Caxcis IT system was confirmed to the Swedish newspaper by armed forces spokesman Philip Simon.A Spanish rail operator and an Italian engineering contractor are the latest to join forces with Texas Central Partners in the plan to build a bullet train between Dallas and Houston.

Texas Central announced Wednesday that Renfe will be its operator. The Spanish company runs 5,000 trains a day on 7,500 miles of tracks.

Before 2024 — the earliest that the 90-minute, Dallas-to-Houston passenger service is projected to begin — Renfe will have input on the design and construction of the Texas train and help develop Texas Central's operation and maintenance plans.

Renfe's first high-speed service connected Madrid and Seville in 1992. In 2007, it added a second high-speed line linking Madrid to Barcelona. Its more recent high-speed connections link Barcelona to France and Mecca to Medina in Saudi Arabia.

Dallas-based Texas Central announced that the construction and engineering firm Salini Impregilo will lead a civil construction consortium to build the line. Texas Central estimates the project's final costs at $12 billion to $15 billion.

Salini Impregilo has built over 4,000 miles of railway infrastructure around the world. The Italian company has worked in the U.S. since the 1980s and in 2016 merged with the U.S.-based Lane Construction Corp.

Texas' bullet train project gained Amtrak as a ticketing partner in May. Passengers will be able to book trips through Amtrak. The high-speed rail operator will also transport passengers between Union Station, which is Amtrak's Dallas endpoint, to the Dallas station between South Riverfront Boulevard and South Austin Street.

Texas Central will also provide similar shuttle service between the Amtrak endpoint andthe former mall site it has chosen for a terminal in northwest Houston.

The high-speed rail project, with train speeds up to 200 mph, is undergoing environmental review from the Federal Railroad Administration. The agency hopes to finalize its environmental impact statement by Jan. 31. It hopes to make a decision on the project, based on the final report, by the end of August 2019.

Construction, which Texas Central believes would take five years, would start after the project receives environmental clearance.

Derek Llambias, Sandy Easdale and Barry Leach in the Ibrox stand

Rangers have suspended Derek Llambias, Barry Leach and Sandy Easdale from their football club board pending an internal investigation.

Former chief executive Llambias and director Leach had already been removed from the parent company board.

Bus company owner Easdale had been chairman of the football board.

Rangers' new controlling consortium had promised an investigation into "various contracts and deals" following their takeover on Friday.

It took control following an extraordinary meeting at which South Africa-based businessman Dave King won a vote among shareholders to oust the plc board.

And on Tuesday it was announced that businessmen John Bennett and Chris Graham have been added to the Rangers International Football Club plc board as non-executive directors.

Solicitor James Blair,a partner in partner in Anderson Strathern, has been appointed company secretary.

Of the departures, Rangers said in a statement: "It is also noted that Mr Llambias and Mr Leach, along with Sandy Easdale, have been advised that a resolution to remove them as directors of the company has been received by the company.

Paul Murray is interim chairman as part of Dave King's controlling group

"A meeting may be required for this purpose, but it is hoped that this will not prove necessary."

The trio have three weeks to respond to their suspension.

They have been replaced with Paul Murray, who was appointed acting chairman of the plc board on Friday, fellow directors Douglas Park and John Gilligan, plus the club's head of football administration, Andrew Dickson.

An Easdale family spokesman said: "We


are surprised at Rangers' announcement bearing in mind there is no power in Scottish law to suspend a director. We also note mention of an investigation. Sandy Easdale has absolutely nothing to fear from any investigation."

King plans to eventually become chairman but has held off joining the board until it is determined if the Stock Exchange and Scottish FA approve his appointment.

The previous board raised doubts about the Scot's suitability because of his convictions for tax offences in South Africa.

Bennett, 51, director of European Equities at Henderson Global Investors, and Graham, 38, of Graham Consulting Solutions Limited, join Murray, Gilligan and Park on the plc board.

The former was involved with Murray's Blue Knights consortium, which launched a failed 2012 bid for Rangers.

David Somers, who had been club chairman,and Easdale's brother, James, resigned from the plc board before Friday's meeting.

Llambias and Leach, who was finance director, still have executive contracts with Rangers and are business associates of shareholder Mike Ashley, the Newcastle United and Sports Direct owner.

Ashley's business has a contract to run Rangers' retail operation and the Englishman has also helped keep the Scottish Championship club afloat this season, lending the club £5m in January.

However, his own desire to increase his shareholding in the Glasgow club was thwarted by the Scottish FA, which subsequently fined Ashley £7,500 this month for breaching dual ownership rules because of his interest in Newcastle.

“ So for instance when after 1137 the Dál Fiatach kingship was confined to the descendants of Donn Sleibe Mac Eochada (slain in 1091), the rigdamnai set themselves apart from the rest of the family by using the name Mac Duinnshleibhe (Donleavy)."

when the Detroit Lions posted a 7-9 record and a massive observed home-field advantage of 11.6 points per game. That's the second-largest single-season HFA on the books between 1990 and 2016. The following year, the 0-16 Lions -- with many of the same players and fans in the same stadium -- generated a home-field "advantage" worth minus-6.4 points per game, which was the worst mark on record between those same years. There's no question the fans turned on the team, but it's hard to believe that the swing was worth 18 points per game. (The second-worst home-field advantage, interestingly enough, belonged to a pair of playoff teams: the 1993 Pittsburgh Steelers and the 2007 New York Giants, who, including the postseason, went 10-1 on the road before beatingthe Patriots in the Super Bowl.)

To get a better sense of who really enjoys home-field advantage, we need to take a larger sample; so let's do that. Keep in mind that these numbers are only for regular-season games and exclude games played on neutral sites. The games played in London and Mexico City in recent years are excluded, as are the ones Buffalo played north of the border in Toronto. Games moved by weather are also excluded, most notably when the Saints were affected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Playing the Packers at Lambeau Field means facing not only Aaron Rodgers but also a rowdy fan base and sometimes freezing cold weather. Jeff Hanisch/US Presswire

Decade of data

The simplest way to estimate home-field advantage is to take a look at


Texans, and Saints all play in domes and have home-field advantages much higher than the league average. The three non-dome teams in the NFC East all see plenty of bad weather, and haven't been notably effective at home.

When you look at the teams the Weather Channel ranked as the five worst weather cities in football and how they've performed over different parts of the season, the differences just aren't stark. Since 1990 (expanding the sample to get more games), Buffalo, Cleveland, Green Bay, Kansas City, and Pittsburgh have generated a home-field advantage of 3.0 points in games played in September and October. We'd expect their home-field advantage to improve dramatically as conditions deteriorate in the later months, but from November on, their home-field advantage has been worth ahave kept Seattle afloat at times. There have been eight seasons since 2007 in which a team has enjoyed an observed home-field advantage of 10 points or more, and the Seahawks are the only team with more than one of those seasons to their name, with the 2009 and 2012 teams topping double-digits.

The second tier includes a handful of teams with no obviously similar characteristics. After the Ravens and Seahawks, there are six organizations ranking in the top 10 by each of our attempts to estimate home-field advantage: the 49ers, Bills, Cardinals, Lions, Packers and Vikings. Three of them play in the NFC North, but how would they explain the 49ers and Cardinals? How do the Bills figure in?

Some of the anecdotal arguments don't hold up under much


those teams play effectively on the road, but there's no relationship between strength of schedule and home-field advantage. The correlation coefficient between the two by my strength of schedule measure, which takes a team's schedule and calculates each opponent's average point differential in games not involving the team in question, is just 0.04.

There's a lot we don't know. It does seem likely that we're missing something in terms of understanding home-field advantage, given that three of the four teams in the NFC North (and most of the NFC West) rank among the league leaders, while the NFC East toils in the doldrums. This is the unfortunate reality of a sport in which teams get only eight home games per year. The Rams spent 21 years in St. Louisof Public Security will precede his visit, in the first half of 2016.

Stone-built changing rooms were erected in the mid-1960s, replacing a small hut, as was a seated stand and terracing.  The main stand has a distinctive angled awning which extends from the fascia and seats which came from Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough Stadium.  Floodlights were installed at the stadium in 1990 and the terracing partially covered four years later.

As one side of the ground directly adjoins a cricket pitch, the club was required to erect a dividing fence in order to gain entry to the Northern Premier League.  The fence is temporary in nature and is removed during the cricket season.  It was partially funded by money raised from friendlies against Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United.

Supporters
The average attendance at the Look Local Stadium was 180in the 2008–09 season, the ninth highest of twenty teams in the Northern Premier League Division One South, with the largest attendance being 451 for the visit of Sheffield.  The average figure was a decrease of 3 compared to the previous season.  The highest attendance in the club's history was 2,000, for a friendly match against Sheffield Wednesday to mark the inauguration of the ground's floodlights in October 1991.

The club has a Supporters' Club which was set up in the mid-1990s. The Supporters' Club organises events to raise funds for the football club, and operates the club shop at the Look Local Stadium.

Mexico City, in Puebla state. Since the 1920s, only five other large earthquakes have originated in central Mexico.

The zone of potential ‘bending’ earthquakes, where the subducted tectonic plate that runs beneath Mexico juts downward at a sharp angle, is a band spanning the country from center to south. Only five earthquakes have struck this region in the past century, including the deadly Sept. 18, 2017 quake that killed 300 in Mexico City. Major earthquakes typically occur along the Pacific coast.

Most major earthquakes worldwide happen along the unstable intersections in the Earth’s crust, where two tectonic plates – that is, the underground slabs that make up the planet’s rocky shell – collide, one plate sliding beneath the other.

the heat load. The refrigerant vapor is exothermically absorbed by a concentrated absorbent solution entering the absorber. The heat of absorption is then transferred to a heat sink, such as cooling water, at the absorber. The dilute absorbent solution is then pumped to the generator, where it is concentrated again and returned to the absorber. External heat is supplied to the generator to supply the energy required to separate the refrigerant from the absorbent. The refrigerant is condensed at the condenser and is returned to the evaporator, while the concentrated absorbent is returned to the absorber. A heat exchanger between the absorber and generator is also part of the system, exchanging heat to the dilute absorbent from the concentrated absorbent solution.

Kachin traditional new harvest feast

As various ethnics residing in Myanmar hold respective festivals in accordance with their traditions yearly, new harvest feasts are significant ones among them. At a time when harvesting of their crops, especially paddy are carried out, new harvest feasts take place in their regions.
Generally, Kachin ethnics organize new harvest feasts in December. Due to invitation to me for attending the feast, I recently went to Ywathit Village in Mohnyin Township of Kachin State.

Mohnyin Township, the residence of Kachin ethnics reside
Mohnyin Township, a residence of Kachin ethnics, sharing border with Moegaung, Shwegu, Indaw, Homalin and Hpakant townships, is located in Kachin State of northern Myanmar. Currently, Mohnyin District is formed with Mohnyin, Moegaung and Hpakant townships.
Based on the statistics released in March 2017, Mohnyin Townshipwas constituted with two towns, nine wards and 127 villages from 37 village-tracts. The population in Mohnyin Township totalled 205,238, including 13,710 Kachin ethnic people and 74,327 Shan ethnic people.
Indawgyi Lake, the largest fresh water lake of the nation located in Mohnyin Township, is surrounded by 19 villages, Ywathit Village of which is the smallest.
There are some 300 houses in Ywathit Village from Lonsant Village-tract, 30 miles from Hopin of Mohnyin Township.
The village is more than two hours drive from Hopin by motorcycle. Red Shan, Bamar and Kachin ethnics are residing in the village with faiths in Buddhism and Christianity. Hence, the Buddhist monastery and Christian church are situated in the village where local people reside together without discrimination of religions. Red Shan and Bamar ethnics with faith


in Buddhism hold new harvest feasts in line with Buddhism traditions whereas Kachin ethnics with faith in Christianity organize the same feasts in Christianity traditions.
At the new harvest feasts, Buddhists invite members of the Sangha to offer the meals made of earliest harvested paddy while Christians invite Fathers to hold the services.
New harvest feasts are held in the region after harvesting monsoon paddy on a yearly basis. Despite growing soya bean, groundnut and other vegetables in the region, local people hold the feasts on the month when paddy is harvested.
Red Shan and other Shan ethnics enjoy the ceremony to offer meals made of earliest paddy in conjunction with the New Year Festival in Ywathit Village. Meanwhile, Kachin ethnics hold the new harvest feasts at their residences individually.

Local peopleon banana leaves, rice and meals for guests must be packed with the use of leaves and kept in the baskets. The host can choose meals for the feast as he likes in addition to salad of banana bud, fried vegetables, pounded shrimp-paste and soups for the guests. One packet of rice and two or three packets of meals for each guest have to be put into the plastic bags.
Being a donation of early rice, local people use the rice, the soonest harvested from their farms in the year, for the feast.
Every household breeds pigs and chickens in Ywathit Village. They dub breeding of pigs as savings. If number of guests is larger in the donation ceremonies including the new harvest feast, the host serves the guests with


and stability of the community and good health conditions of families. The congregation sings Gospel Christian songs.
At the ceremony I attended as a special guest, the host and the father wore Kachin traditional costumes and put on the turbans. They helped me wear Kachin traditional turban. Some of attendances also came to the ceremony by wearing Kachin traditional costumes.
After the praying, a bamboo tumpline was given as a gift to the father. The host gave similar bags not only to the father but to special guests from far distance.
The bamboo tumpline decorated with beautiful flowers comprised one pyi of rice or a large taro, a long ginger plant, a pumpkin, packets of rice and meals, and a long envelope in which honorarium for the father was kept.
After theof guests who wish to join the entertainments. Christian youths from the village have been practising the traditions by singing Gospel Christian songs of praying for the houses including the residence of host for the new harvest feast in their traditions since yore.

CLIVEDEN, BERKSHIRE

The thing about the hotel game is, as soon as anyone hits a good design note everyone else jumps on it, until its ubiquity makes


a country escape – draught excluders begone – with airtight double glazing and lashings of hot water in a tub overlooking a waterfall on the River Maigue. An eye-opening afternoon of falconry, including an introduction to mesmerising owls large and small, is fuelled by an open-faced grilled-prawn sandwich and a glass of Sancerre worthy of Adare’s recent Michelin Sommelier award, served fireside in the stained-glass Gallery. This is a welcoming place without pretension – a remarkably understated lobby and check-in area are pleasantly filled with a congenial mix of hushed world travellers, inbound and and outbound from Shannon Airport, which is only 30 minutes away. This summer, the manor will debut a new indoor pool, two paddle-tennis courts, a yoga studio and a steam room/sauna.

Now they’ve hit the bull’s eye again in the Highlands with The Fife Arms, which takes a familiar tartan-clad template and – with love and respect and even a kind of delicacy – blows it to


smithereens. The Fife Arms is different, however, in that it’s primarily a hotel, not a gallery – though, with works by Picasso, Freud, Richter and so forth, you could be forgiven for thinking of it as one. Next up, the power couple will pull the cultured crowd to Yorkshire to the revamped Bretton Hall in the parkland of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, resetting again the compass of the British countryside break.

Together with the Ritz, Hôtel de Crillon is a case study in how to stay relevant as a heritage hotel in the 21st century. While the Ritz carried on in the same splendid fashion as always, the Crillon blasted off in search of something new. The result is a fascinating postmodern triumph.

Hôtel de Crillon review

LA RÉSERVE, PARIS

La Réserve owner Michel Reybier had great success with his Geneva and Ramatuelle outposts. Yet there was general astonishment when, in 2015, La Réserve Paris sashayed into town, teaching the city’s grandes dames new tricks.

La Réserve Paris hotel review

LE BRISTOL, PARIS

Utterly immaculate yet playful, Le Bristol is much like the pampered Birman cat, Fa-Raon, who roams its halls.


discreetly built into the hillside, which opened in 2016. Owner Patrick McKillen, a Belfast-born art collector and property magnate, and his team dreamed up a geometric stack of rectangular light-drenched suites, filled with stylish mid-century inspired furnishings, tall four-posters, Asian-minimalist marble bathrooms and spacious terraces with sweeping vistas. The all-wood holistic spa experience is unique, a mix of slather-and-scrub treatments with coloured clay, mineral salts and fragrant herbal oils. With a café and three organic restaurants, all featuring local produce, to choose from (including one overseen by Argentine grill-master chef Francis Mallmann), seasonal exhibitions and a plush library, there’s plenty to discover. For modernism addicts: Villa La Coste’s latest suite, No. 30, is a Richard Rogers-refurbished version of a Jean Prouvé 6x6 demountable home – a solar-powered luxuryRamatuelle and elegant Villa Marie. Cheval Blanc occupies the proverbial sweet spot in between. By Steve King

Cheval Blanc St Tropez review: First In

THE BEST HOTELS IN ITALY

HOTEL DE RUSSIE, ROME

From the moment the top-hatted doorman ushers you into the classic-modern space by former Valentino interiors whizz Tommaso Ziffer and Rocco Forte director of design Olga Polizzi, the sense of being in the foremost place to stay in town is as sharp as the Campari sodas served in the bar. The 120-room hotel just off Piazza del Popolo mixes up Art Deco-tinged nods to Rome’s classical past with jazzy homages to the spirit of Picasso and ballet legend Nijinsky, who stayed in its previous incarnation. They’re commemorated in signature suites, as is Giuseppe Valadier, the architect behind the palazzo’s


terraced garden. This is being restored for the hotel’s 20th anniversary – one of several refreshes that include a health-oriented lightening of the mod-Med menu. The kitchen is overseen by chef Fulvio Pierangelini who also curates the food at the Stravinskij Bar, which heaves with beautiful Romans come aperitivo time. By Erin Florio

BELMOND HOTEL SPLENDIDO, PORTOFINO

The first guest to sign the hotel’s visitor’s book was the Duke of Windsor, who stayed here with Wallis Simpson in 1952. The following pages of the weighty volume reveal a Who’s Who of the international Dolce Vita set (Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Liz Taylor), and the stream of A-listers has never stopped. It hasn’t really changed much, although super-yachts have replaced the fishing boats. A former monastery acquired by Orient Express hotelstake your eyes off that watery spectacle outside, because this is still one of the most beautiful hotels in one of the most beautiful spots in the world. By Anne Hanley

AMAN VENICE

The crush of overtourism has risked muting the magic of La Serenissima, but the city’s hotels, many of them former palaces and villas during the Republic’s glory days, remain a bastion of Venetian romance. At the graceful Aman Venice, in the quieter San Polo district, there is slightly more reserve. With its Murano chandeliers and peerless rabbit cappelletti served in a side garden, the hotel is the intersection of taste between this revered Asian brand and the Italian count and princess who own the property.

Aman Venice hotel review

BELMOND HOTEL CIPRIANI, VENICE

The intimacy of Aman is countered by


whose in-depth knowledge of the city is distilled in his self-penned J.K. Essential Guide to Florence, currently in its fourth edition. Rooms (we love the Master) are elegant, light-filled refuges, but the hotel also invites the city in: its Sunday brunches are fixtures on the well-heeled Florentine social circuit, and contacts with some of Tusany’s top artisanal firms – such as hip ceramics brand Richard Ginori – keep guests on the inside track. By Lee Marshall

HOTEL VILON, ROME

The quiet, confident arrival of the Vilòn gave Rome a boutique hotel to showcase the city’s sharp sophistication, which too often gets upstaged by its antiquities. A dream team of contemporary Italian collaborators – architect-designer Giampiero Panepinto on public spaces and set designer Paolo Bonfini on bedrooms – deftly mixes jewel-boxArt Deco tones with mid-century-modern furniture. Details such as rococo columns and large-format artworks by photographer Massimo Listri are trumped only by the hotel's location, overlooking the formal gardens of the Palazzo Borghese. The result is fresh but grown-up, and self-assured with no ego – thrillingly positioned at the intersection between Rome's old and new. By Erin Florio

Hotel Vilòn, Rome review

IL SAN PIETRO DI POSITANO, AMALFI COAST

A tribute to the vision and folly of its creator, Il San Pietro di Positano burrows into a cliff, with a lift plunging down to the beach via a shaft hacked out of rock. It’s the ultimate Amalfi Coast cocoon, made all the more attractive by delicious but not overly fancy seasonal food.

BORGO SANTO PIETRO, TUSCANY

Tuscan Borgo Santo Pietro has expanded from


beautifully because the landscape refuses to be upstaged by the monumental architecture. Other guests are barely noticeable (even the terribly famous ones). The pool is miraculously empty, the library is all yours, and there’s always a front-row daybed at the beach club. At dusk, everyone drifts towards the circular terrace, which floats on a reflective pool, to stare as sunset streaks the horizon fuchsia and tangerine. The beauty of Amanzoe lies in its isolation; the quietude of the landscape and the absence of distraction are an instant balm. By Rachel Howard

Amanzoe hotel review: a modern day Acropolis in the Peloponnese

THE ROMANOS AT COSTA NAVARINO, PELOPONNESE

Like Amanzoe, Costa Navarino has shone a light on an unsung corner of the Peloponnese. The Romanos, its polished marble flagship, feels deeply rooteda blade on a treeless plain of sunflower and wheat fields. Next, imagine a garden of green and shaded nooks rising out of that same treeless plain, where birds chatter from branches and blossoms trail with obscene abundance over pergolas and allées. Run by Anglo-Spanish brothers Anthony and Patrick Reid Mora-Figueroa, Hacienda de San Rafael has been in their family for nearly 150 years, and its transformation from olive estate to hotel a is the result of a painstaking, decade-long restoration project. Lying a few miles south of Seville, the Hacienda opens up like a treasure box from its central, cobbled courtyard, paths beckoning through arched openings into the garden, leading to three swimming pools and the thatched-roof, antique-stuffed casitas that are the nicest places to stay here.


opened in 1916 in the midst of Bavaria’s dynastic demise and later served as a convalescent home for Holocaust survivors. More recently, it was the setting for the 2015 G7 Summit. The effects of such high-level bargaining must have been countered by the hotel’s six rambling spas – three are family-friendly – and a treatment list that reads like an epic poem and includes therapies such as the underwater Physio Floating massage. Together, they form a sort of wellness constellation of rooftop thermal infinity pools, sauna huts scattered along the babbling Ferchenbach creek, and what’s touted as the largest marble hammam west of Istanbul. The bedrooms, redesigned in 2005 by Patricia Urquiola, are bright and minimal, with honey-hued wood and lots of windows for gazing out at theannexe with plant-filled terraces. It’s also Denmark’s first hotel with a rooftop pool and bar. All of this, plus outstanding food in a town where inventive plates are a ferociously competitive obsession (how many other hotels have their own pastry store?), make it one of the most unusual – and certainly one of the sleekest – places to stay in Scandinavia. That said, it’s also deeply cosy. Danish aspirations are all about living well surrounded by great materials, which explains the enviable wooden floors, dreamy beds and rich fabrics in the bedrooms (most in the original building have fireplaces), along with homegrown spirits in the minibar. The breakfast is one to linger over, with rye-bread porridge, served with sea buckthorn, and a signature sausage made with ramson and


and the busy Kollázs brasserie is just as fun at breakfast as it is for dinner, especially if you snag a terrace table. A golden-era relic that’s still an essential part of Budapest’s fabric – anyone staying here has the precious sense of catching at the threads of history. By Adriaane Pielou

Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace review

THE BEST HOTEL IN PORTUGAL

SIX SENSES DOURO VALLEY

The European debut of the Asia-centric Six Senses group caused a sensation when it opened in northern Portugal in 2015, its particular brand of wellness cleverly seen through the prism of this world-class wine region. It’s set in a 19th-century manor house among vines which roll down to the wide Douro River. Inside, Irish-American designer Clodagh created a more contemporary minimalist vibe, and now acreation has evolved from sceney drinking den to harbinger of the most humming international hubs: this year, new outposts are due to open in Rome, Tel Aviv, Paris and Austin. And the juggernaut doesn’t stop there – there are now Beach Houses, Little Houses, Farmhouses (next: upstate New York) and Warehouses (just-opened DTLA), beach bars and nail bars, co-working spaces and a homeware line. When the Istanbul hotel opened in 2015, it confirmed the city’s status as head-turning creative force in a scene that’s now bouncing back from political strife – reopened cultural institution SALT Beyoğlu and the temporary home of the Istanbul Modern are both nearby. The building – an ornate 19th-century palazzo, all marble and frescoes – is pretty head-turning, too, and bedrooms occupy a glass


annex, tricked out in the brand’s instantly identifiable style with a Turkish twist. As with all Soho Houses, the perk of staying over is access to the members’ clubhouse where the cool crowd gather poolside, the DJ laying tracks over the call to prayer from mosques that spike the skyline like candles on a birthday cake. Nowhere is the juxtaposition between old and new, East and West, more intoxicating, and staying here captures it at its most immediate. By Fiona Kerr

THE BEST HOTEL IN THE NETHERLANDS

PULITZER AMSTERDAM

Back in the 1960s, Amsterdam businessman Peter Pulitzer had the bright idea of converting a few of the city’s grand Golden Age canal houses into a hotel. He was one of the first to do so. Today, the Pulitzer ambles, climbs, andstretches through 25 historic buildings, between two canals. The essence of Amsterdam’s past is here, but a contemporary makeover by Jacu Strauss, one of the architects behind the transformation of the Sea Containers hotel in London, blows away any cobwebs. Alongside the original stucco ceilings, antique Delft tiles, and baronial fireplaces, you’ll find prime new Dutch design (charred furniture by Maarten Baas, Piet Hein Eek’s patchwork Persian rugs) and countless works from the hotel’s extensive modern art collection. Rooms are in the palette of the Old Masters: deep blues, rich yellows, and pinky plums (the bathrooms, in contrast, are glinting white). Restaurant Jansz snakes through a series of rooms, simply decorated with plain wood floors and bentwood chairs, and serves robust fare big on flavor. Much like Amsterdam,

Shivkumar Rohan

Rohan Shivkumar is an architect and an urban designer practicing in Mumbai. He is also currently Deputy Director at the Kamla Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute for Architecture and Environmental Studies.

His interests are in looking at architecture as a cultural practice -not only that as building making. As a result he is interested in cross-disciplinary ways of looking at architecture and the idea of context. These include fields like art, literature and cinema and the ways in which they engage with the city. Recently his interest has been shaped by the dramatic changes in the physical landscape of the city- with rampant development wreaking havoc on communities and collective memory. He is interested in deciphering the patterns of
these changes- the ideologies and their manifestations, especiallyof the resistances posed by everyday life to the displacing tendencies of globalization.

After his Bachelors in Mumbai, he did his Masters at the University of Maryland on Regional And International Studies in 1998. Since coming back to Mumbai that year he joined as a visiting faculty member at the KRVIA and parallely began work with the Urban Design Research Institute' (UDRI) on their projects in the city.

He was Project Co-ordinator for the 'Churchgate Revival Project' and a project for the development of a 'Tourist District' around the Gateway Of India. He also worked on a publication on the city of Navi Mumbai. Besides these, he has worked on a few exhibitions and articles regarding the city. Recently he worked with the UDRI on an MMRDA project on a


reappraisal of the heritage list of Mumbai city. He has also worked with non governmental organisations like Citispace as a consultant on surveys and analysis of hawking and non-hawking zones and slum rehabilitation projects on public spaces.

In the school Rohan headed the Research and Design Cell - the research wing of the school which works on various projects in the city regarding disused industrial lands, housing, environmental issues, etc. Rohan has been involved with many of these projects and is
currently the Project co-ordinator for a project titled 'Cinema City'- an interdisciplinary project exploring the relationship between cinema and the city of Mumbai.

He also has an architectural practice in Mumbai and we have worked on a few residential and infrastructure projects, the largest of which is a fire stationat trial.
The testimony was undisputed that on the day of the alleged incident complainant was assisting her brother on his paper route. Both children were sitting in the lobby of appellant's apartment building, inserting sections of the Sunday paper, when appellant returned to the building. Appellant sought to purchase a sports section, but lacked the proper change. After some discussion, complainant agreed to accompany appellant to his apartment to receive the change.
According to complainant, after she entered appellant's apartment he asked her to sit on his couch while he went into the *501 bedroom and came back with a five-dollar bill. He gave the five-dollar bill to complainant as a "donation" and told her she might become a model someday. He then proceeded to help her raise her


blouse so that he could look at her chest. Appellant next unbuckled her pants, put his hands inside her pants, and placed his finger inside her vagina. Appellant then removed complainant's left shoe, took her pants off one leg, and placed her on a sheet on the floor. The complainant testified that appellant again placed his finger into her vagina, "for not too long but for a little while, two minutes or so." She stated she was not hurt by this fondling. Complainant's mother testified that she had taught her daughter the names of the various parts of her body and that complainant was familiar with those terms.
Appellant testified that the complainant had, in fact, come to his apartment on the date and time in question, in orderto be paid for the newspaper. He contended, however, that complainant, while in the apartment, never left the immediate vicinity of the doorway. When appellant could not find the proper change, he handed complainant a five-dollar bill and told her to return four dollars in change from her brother. When, after approximately five minutes, complainant had not returned with his change, appellant left his apartment and found complainant standing by the elevator. He threatened to call her parents and tell them she had failed to give him his change.
Approximately two hours later the complainant's mother, accompanied by complainant, accosted appellant at his apartment and warned him not to make advances on the children in the neighborhood. Testimony as to the statements made at that time was in conflict,


but all parties testified that it developed into a heated exchange.
Later the same day complainant and her mother reported the appellant's alleged indecent acts to the police. Complainant was taken to D.C. General Hospital where she was examined by Dr. Paul Gaither, a resident in obstetrics and gynecology. The doctor made a thorough examination and concluded that there was no evidence of trauma in complainant's vagina or genital area.
Appellant's trial counsel was informed at a status hearing on September 10, 1976, approximately twelve days prior to trial, of the existence of Dr. Gaither's report and of his conclusion that no evidence of trauma was found. At no time prior to trial did trial counsel attempt to locate the doctor, or to talk to him, nor did he attemptto subpoena the doctor to testify on behalf of the defendant at trial. Trial counsel apparently assumed, instead, that the doctor would be called to testify by the government and that he would have an opportunity to cross-examine the doctor.[3]
At approximately 6:00 p. m. on the evening of the first day of trial, after the government rested its case without calling Dr. Gaither, trial counsel had a forthwith subpoena issued for the doctor. The subpoena was addressed to Dr. Gaither at D.C. General Hospital and was returned with the notation that Dr. Gaither no longer worked at the hospital and had left no forwarding address. The following day the court ordered the trial to continue as scheduled. Trial counsel requested and was allowed to argue in closing argument

BY JUAN LOPEZ, ART BY JASON DAVIS

Film Portal is where through calculated time travel we look back at a particular film’s journey from page to screen and the effects its had on pre-historic societies. Today we continue with Spider-Man from 2002. Read Part 1 here.

When Spider-Man was finally released on May 3rd 2002 it was a cultural phenomenon on par with two other superhero films before it, Superman and Batman. Box office records were set (it took in a total of $821,708,551) and the awards poured in. It won ‘best kiss’ at the MTV Movie Awards, was nominated for everything from the Academy Awards to the Saturn Awards and took home the ‘Favorite Motion Picture Award’ at the People’s Choice Awards. While X-Men


and Blade opened the door for comic book movies to be relevant again, Spider-man was the one that smashed the door and windows wide open when it proved just how profitable comic book movies could be. After 9/11 a movie like Spider-man was what the American people needed. Something uplifting and a character that we all could aspire to, and a hero we could get behind. It was actually a good thing for Marvel that the movie rights were tangled up for as long as they were, because Spider-man swung by when we needed him the most.

The movie marketing engine, always a huge factor in the success of a film, especially when it comes to summer tentpoles, was in high gearmainstream rock charts, ultimately charting up to number three on the Billboard hot 100. It even went 4x Platinum in the United States.

Spider-man also made a significant appearance on the newsstands. He appeared on the cover Wizard of course, but he was also featured in several mainstream magazines such as Time and TV Guide. He also appeared on the cover of some gaming magazines thanks to the movie game tie in.

Remember when Wizard was the same size as a comic?

Spidey even made his way into the grocery store. Sony made a deal with Kellogg’s for a limited edition Pop Tarts box and cereal with the obligatory Spider-man toys packed into other Kellogg’s products. A deal was also made with Dr. Pepper (the soda brand would continue its association

Effect of stimulation of the lateral and medial supramammillary areas of the hypothalamus was studied in acute experiments on rabbits. The firing of neurons was recorded in the anterior, lateral, dorsal medial and ventral medial hypothalamic areas. Single pulse stimulation of the medial area of the posterior hypothalamus caused changes in discharge rate for 44% of neurons and the stimulation of the lateral area for 35% of the examined neurons. Repetitive stimulation resulted in changes of the discharge rate in 57% of neurons during stimulation of the lateral and in 74% of the medial supramammillary area.

Alice Cooper's signature anthem goes up against a chapter from Rush's career-spanning trilogy in a heavyweight fight from our Rock’s Scariest Song competition.

In honor of Halloween, we’ve chosen 16 of rock’s scariest songs. The field will be sliced, diced and chopped in half every week based on your votes, until only the scariest song in rock history remains alive.

In this round, we're pitting the Cooper classic "Welcome to My Nightmare" against Rush's "Witch Hunt" — and while both songs have made quick work of their opponents in previous rounds, only one of them is moving on from here. Cooper's "Nightmare," the title track to his hugely popular 1975 album, recently dispatched Judas Priest's "The Ripper," while "Witch Hunt," which served as the chronological start of Rush's "Fear" songof custom versions on the product.

This trend of blocking users from installing custom software on Linux devices is deeply troubling to some members of the open source software community because it arguably prevents users from exercising their GPL rights.
